Staying in their Highland home, the Brain Family, | :00:09. | :00:10. | |

uncertain future this evening, after being told the leave the UK six | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
weeks ago, they've now found work which means they can fulfil a dream | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
and stay in the Highlands. Overwhelmed with emotion. I can't | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
describe how I feel. Seven months now we have been without work and, | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
you know, struggling and fight through this whole process. Gregg | :02:00. | :02:08. | |
Gregg Brain came here to study at the university of the Highland and | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
Islands on a student veesia. They understood they be able to stay and | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
work here after she completed the course, but immigration schools | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
changed making that more difficult. Now she has secured a new museum | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
curator's post with a national hotel chain, which meets Home Office | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
requirement, giving them leave to remain in the UK. We have a | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
sponsorship on board. They speeded a sponsorship for this particular | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
position but the position meets all the criteria for the Home Office. We | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
feel like we have been guided. We followed the path that needed to | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
happen. We quite often found, in our lives, that we get reminded that | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
things for us happen, not just in the 11th hour but the 59th minute, | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
just to remind us that it is not entirely us. After a high-profile | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
campaign was launched for them to stay, the Home Office argued that it | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
gave the family a number of extension, allowing them time to | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
secure a job which would meet immigration rules. But their local | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
MP says lessons must be learned from the way they were treated All this | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
grief and all effort that so many people had to put in place over the | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
last few months was unnecessary. I think it really demonstrates that | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
ultimately, we need control of immigration policy here in Scotland, | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
so we can make decision based on our own needs and own criteria and I | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
look forward to the situation that no-one else has to go through the | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
kind of thing that the family have gone through over the course of the | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
next few months. After months of living in temporary accommodation, | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
the family are now looking for a permanent home but they have one | :03:41. | :03:41. | |
final hoop to jump through, at the permanent home but they have one | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
request of their young son, Laclin. What do you want in the back yard? A | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
trampoline. And we can speak to | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
Gregg and Kathryn Brain Greg this has been a long | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
and exhausting process for you - what life lessons have you learned | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
having lived through all this? The importance of persistence. Yes. | :04:02. | :04:15. | |
You must be feeling very happy tonight. Relieved as well. What are | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
your thoughts on what you have gone through and the way that the Home | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
Office handled the case? ? Look, we are absolutely elated that we have | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
got this leave to remain now. So I'm feeling elation that we are able to | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
stay. I'm feeling furious that we have had to go through all of this | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
to get to this point when we were proimsed a two-year visa after | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
Katherine's studies when we first arrived. Mostly I'm feeling | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
gratitude for the support we have had. The MP, to our lar, to | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
fulfilled his brief and presented an application that would give the Home | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
Office no option but say yes and the support we have had from the | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
community, be that Ding skas ball, the Highlands, Scotland and all of | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
the UK. . We have had cards from as far afield from Essex, giving us | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
messages of support. So to all of those people thank you very much. | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
All that of political support, the media attention your case received, | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
Kathryn, how much do you think that helped your case to stand out. You | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
are not alone, lots of other people aren't as lucky as you have been. I | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
don't know if there is a lot of luck in it. It was a lot of hard work | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
from so many people. But one thing our coverage of our situation has | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
brought forward, as so many other families that are in similar fights | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
with the Home Office, for legitimate cases, they are completely | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
legitimate in their application, that are struggling with trying to | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
meet the Home Office criteria, which, you know, it may suit some | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
parts of the country but not all parts of the country, so a regional | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
policy is what is really needed. As a family you can start planning | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
ahead to the future. What are your hopes now, apart from the | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
trampoline? Well, yes, he definitely wants that trampoline. | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
Well, the immediate plans, the plans we have had in place for a couple of | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
weeks now s I'm graduating with my degree. I actually have to hand my | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
degree back to the university so they can give it to me formally at | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
Orkney at the Cathedral. I'm so looking forward to that. And an | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
anniversary. And we have been married 25 years next week, so we | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary up there as well by | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
renewing our vows or receiving a blessing at the St Magnus Cathedral | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
while we are there. If not on the Friday, most likely on Saturday if | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
we can arrangement but we have to get them in place yet. | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
Congratulations on that and thank you for joining us this evening. | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
A social worker involved in the case of the murdered Fife toddler, | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
A watchdog found Lesley Bate guilty of 12 charges involving | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
It said her misconduct amounted to neglect. | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
But it also criticised her employer and some of the witnesses | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
Panel members heard five days of evidence and today delivered their | :07:09. | :07:21. | |
judgment on Lesley Bate. She stayed away. The charges against her ran it | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
five pages. She was found guilty in all but one. 12 charges, involving | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
15 children over a three-year period. Some of them were thought to | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
be the a risk of physical and sexual abuse. One of those children was | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
Liam Fee. A child minder first raised concerns with her social work | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
in January 2013. Liam has a massive bruise on his forehead. A month | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
later, further concerns about a neck injury. More than a year later, Liam | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
was murdered by his mother and her partner. Lesley Bate had visited | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
Liam's home after the first injury. His mother said Liam had fallen out | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
of his cot. Miss Bate accepted that. She then failed to follow up on the | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
later concerns. None of this will surprise this who feared from Liam's | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
safety and tried to get him help. The whole community is completely | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
knocked by this. The worst part is that a lot of people were speaking | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
up and obviously we weren't taken seriously enough. The Scottish | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
social services Council panel found Lesley Bate left Liam Fee and other | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
children at risk of actual or potential harm and that her "serious | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
misconduct" amounted to neglect. Fife Council says it has every | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
confidence in the potentiallyism and Fife Council says it has every | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
integrity of the staff who gave evidence but tonight there are calls | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
for a wider review. It is very clear there was no joined-up working and | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
the communication seems to have been extremely poor throughout this case | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
and we have to make sure there are no others who were allowed to slip | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
through the net. Whether or not the authorities could have done more to | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
stop the murders is now being investigated by a case review. Fife | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
Council declined to be interviewed today. In a statement it said the | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
Lesley Bate case did not reflect current practice or the high | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
standards of professionalism it expects from its social work staff. | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
Almost a quarter of young women in Scotland have reported | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
they've self-harmed, according to a comprehensive survey | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
It also found 8% have attempted suicide. | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
The figures in the Scottish Health Survey further highlight the link | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
between poor health and anxiety, with deprivation. | :09:40. | :09:40. | |
Our Home Affairs Correspondent Reevel Alderson reports. | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
How do we feel about ourselves? The annual health survey highlights | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
changes in personal well-being among Scots. The results show the levels | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
of anxiety and depression being felt, and surprisingly, those in the | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
most deprived areas, are more likely to suffer symptoms. 9% of film | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
self-harmed in the past year. The figure for men was 6%. But among | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
young women the figure was 23%, almost one-quarter. For young men | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
approximates more worryingly is the attempted suicide attempts. Mental | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
health charities say they are not surprised. They say they have | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
health charities say they are not received an increase number of calls | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
from young people seeking help. We know that from the research and | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
evidence we have been looking at over the last few weeks, that young | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
women and body image is a real issue. So there is a lot going on in | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
young people's lives and, therefore, the increase in self-harm, | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
particularly with young women, is a way that they can start to perhaps | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
control situations themselves. The health survey also reveals an | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
increase in the number of people using electronic cigarettes, vaping, | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
and a further decline in those smoke, although it shows one in five | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
still smokes. It also shows fewer children are exposed to second-hand | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
smoke in the home. From heart disease, obesity and departmental | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
health, the survey's same to provide the Government with the information | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
needed to tackle the health problems. - obesity and dental | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
health. We need this to be able to provide a whole picture of the | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
nation's health and how it has changed over time. Certainly, what | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
we are able to see, on measures like smoking, for example, is there has | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
been a long-term decline. Clearly information campaigns aren't enough. | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
Only one in five Scots meets the recommendation of five portions of | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
fresh fruit and veg a day. The same level as 13 years ago. | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
Today's health figures also show there's been almost no change | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
in levels of physical activity in Scotland. | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
A quarter of all children and a third of adults are failing | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
to meet activity guidelines set by the Scottish Government. | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
This despite a promise that the Commonwealth Games | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
would inspire people to become more active. | :12:01. | :12:01. | |
This is the sort of cheap and cheerful activity that can encourage | :12:02. | :12:15. | |
healthy habits. We are stuck inside like all day and then just to get | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
fresh air and run is good. I think it is really fun. It helps you get | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
healthy and fit. The daily mile has been adopted by schools up and down | :12:26. | :12:26. | |
the country. But it didn't have any been adopted by schools up and down | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
connection to the Commonwealth Games. Glasgow 2014 clearly was | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
popular. A catalyst for regeneration in the East End of the city. It | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
helped create a wave of elite athletes, with more success in Rio, | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
but when it comes to mass participation in sport, we don't | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
appear to be getting the message - begging the question: Why did | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
politicians say it will? Inactivity is the second-biggest killer in | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
Scotland and the Government has set targets to combat it. It is falling | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
far short of this. Activity levels remain stagnant. Obesity levels are | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
poor. In fact, there's been no significant rise in children | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
participating in sport since 2008. That was before the Olympics and the | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
comop wealth Games came along. - Commonwealth Games. I don't accept | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
that. I think the Games have been an important part in ensuring sport and | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
physical activity remain high on the agenda. The whole investment in PE | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
and getting 10% of schools doing two hours and two periods of PE to 98% | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
of schools was a legacy from the Commonwealth Games. One-third of the | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
population is enactive. Researchers say to change that will require | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
population is enactive. Researchers cultural shift Sport is probably not | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
the first option for those people. We probably need to look how we can | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
get them active through active living, through cycling, walk, | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
gardening, those activities rather than sfort itself. And this is the | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
sort of thing. - sport itself. And this is the sort of thing, walking | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
groups, big benefits It keeps them in touch physically. It improves | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
groups, big benefits It keeps them mobility and balance and we are all | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
very sociable. There is lofts talk, sometimes far too much and less | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
concentration. The attitudinal shift, it appears, to get the nation | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
active, will not come about by hosting a big sporting event. | :14:21. | :14:22. | |
And there will be more on that story on Scotland 2016 tonigh. | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
So we have fewer smokers and less binge drinking but what have the | :14:26. | :14:36. | |
Scots got against fruit and veg. Our already-poor die vets failed to | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
improve over the past decade. So is it time it take tough action? We'll | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
discuss on BBC Two Scotland tonight at 10.30pm. | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
You're watching BBC Reporting Scotland. | :14:49. | :14:49. | |
The Brains, an Australian family facing deportation, | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
have been granted leave to remain in the Highlands, | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
The Scottish FA is investigating claims that the Rangers' player, | :14:56. | :15:05. | |
Joey Barton, broke its gambling rules by betting on a match. | :15:06. | :15:14. | |
Police are investigating a rape at a bus stop | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
The serious sexual assault was reported to have | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
happened in Lothian Road, near St John's Church and opposite | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
the Waldorf Astoria hotel in the early hours of the morning. | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
The RMT Union say they are recommending members accept a deal | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
with Scotrail that should mean the end of strike action | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
It means both drivers and conductors will operate train doors. | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
Thousands of passengers were caught up in the summer strikes. | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
It bass 123 days of misery for rail passengers. Thousands were delayed | :15:46. | :15:58. | |
Ascot rail services were cancelled across the network. The RMT's | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
decision to recommend a new deal to its members means services will | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
probably now get back on track. The union says the role of train guards | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
has been saved. For them, it's a victory. What we've managed to | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
achieve and what we've actually managed to deliver is safe trains. | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
We've now delivered the guard will be on the train and the guard will | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
be in fully operational control of the doors. That, in RMT's strong | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
opinion, constitutes safe Scottish trains. At the heart of this dispute | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
was the question of who opens and closes the train doors. ScotRail | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
wanted drivers to do that on new rolling stock. The RMT said that was | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
a safety issue. So, has ScotRail had to back down? When you are in these | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
negotiations you don't always get what you really wanted. I think the | :16:52. | :17:03. | |
fact that we had the conversations the discussion was all part of a | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
process. Will customers end up paying more? No. That's an | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
unequivocal message ScotRail believe the new deal is a Winton situation | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
for everyone. New rolling stock will be fitted with door controls for | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
conductors. It's not known how much it will add to the cost, but | :17:28. | :17:28. | |
ScotRail will have to bear them. The heavy lifting ship due to remove | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
the Transocean Winner oil rig, after it ran aground on Lewis last | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
month, is due to arrive on site The ship offloaded a rig | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
in the Cromarty Firth and set off Our reporter, Angus | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
Macdonald, has more. Later this evening the heavy lift | :17:45. | :17:54. | |
ship is expected to come into Broad Bay behind me a mile away from the | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
rig which lies at anchor and has lain there for the past few weeks. | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
Then preparations begin in earnest to float the rig onto the heavy lift | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
ship so it can be taken away. A lot of preparation has to go on before | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
then. Timbers have to be laid on the deck of the ship and also airbags | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
have to be put onto the rig to raise it higher in the water so it will | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
float over the submerged deck of the hawk. All of this is going to take | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
time and it's going to mean very precise work. It will also mean they | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
will have to have very good weather. I spoke earlier to the Secretary of | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
State's representative, Huw Shaw, who reckoned they might be able to | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
do this weekend. 'S difficult to predict. Our best guess at the | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
moment is looking into the weekend and Sunday is looking more | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
favourable than Saturday at the moment. We are starting to think | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
along that line. That could change on a daily basis. It could come | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
forward or it may be pushed back. The Scottish FA is investigating | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
claims that the Rangers player, Joey Barton, broke its gambling | :19:04. | :19:05. | |
rules by betting on a recent match. The SFA prevents players | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
from betting on any football games. Here to explain more | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
is our senior football Chris, what exactly | :19:12. | :19:12. | |
is being investigated? Well, the allegation, Laura, is that | :19:13. | :19:20. | |
Joey Barton, who round Rangers in the summer, placed a bet on Celtic's | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
recent Champions League match against Barcelona at the Nou camp, a | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
game the Spanish side won 7-1. A one-off bet. As you say, football | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
players are not allowed to bet on football matches. That's all in a | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
bid to try and combat match-fixing. Investigations on this are at a very | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
early stage. The club are saying absolutely nothing. On this, at the | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
moment, Joey Barton himself is saying nothing. What kind of | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
punishment could he be looking at if he's found guilty? Usually, in this | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
type of scenario, it's a suspension, a two match suspension for this type | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
of offence, a one-off betting offence. This is a strange one with | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
regards to Joey Barton because at the moment he's currently serving a | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
three week suspension from Rangers. He is a controversial figure. He had | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
a heated exchange with team-mates and his manager at the training | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
ground following their defeat to Celtic a few weeks ago. At this | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
stage, in terms of the betting, there will be some kind of charge | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
issued, the big question is - will he be around in Scotland to serve | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
any you pension on any ban that comes his way? What happens next, | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
Chris? Throw into the mix that Joey Barton has a book to launch on | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
Thursday No None since it is titled. He gave interviews in it he says | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
perhaps he regrets joining Rangers. Something that will not go down with | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
the fans. There are those I believe in a position of power at Rangers | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
that believe that Joey Barton's time at the club is up. That he is | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
finished at Ibrox Stadium. It looks like, at some point in the next few | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
weeks, Joey Barton and Rangers will part company. That could make this | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
whole betting scenario irrelevant. Chris, thank you very much. | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
Andy Murray has told BBC Scotland it's time for the tennis authorities | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
to deliver a lasting legacy for the sport in this country. | :21:16. | :21:17. | |
The Olympic and Wimbledon Champion says he welcomes ambitious plans | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
to build 10 new indoor facilities in Scotland over | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
He was also quizzed by local schoolchildren in Stirling | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
about his language on court - and mum Judy taken | :21:27. | :21:28. | |
He's used to making a big entrance, instead of Centre Court, he was | :21:29. | :21:44. | |
centre of attention for youngsters in Stirling hoping to inspire the | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
next generation and keen to make sure that plans to turn the Murray | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
brothers success into new facilities are actually delivered and delivered | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
soon. Me and Jamie won't be playing forever. I've made got three, four | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
more years playing at the top level. The more facilities, especially | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
indoors facilities, the better. In Scotland the weather isn't great | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
here and it can be expensive to play. As well indoors, too. More | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
indoor facilities the better and hopefully they follow-through on | :22:20. | :22:27. | |
that promise. Tennis Scotland has an ambitious plan to create facilities | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
like this the length and breadth of the country. They want two new | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
facilities every year for the next five years to have a network right | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
across Scotland. Music to the ears of someone who has been calling for | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
just that for quite some time. They can get started in school with the | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
mini version of the game. It has to be able to translate into the full | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
game. We need out door public courts that are are free hopefully and more | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
game. We need out door public courts indoor courts to make it a 12 months | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
of the year sport. Two new careers may also have been launched today. | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
How much better were the girls' questions than mine? Much, much, | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
much better. They were good. What does your mum think about you | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
swearing on court? I learnt it from her, actually! I think she | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
understands, but would prefer if I didn't. I would prefer if I didn't | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
as well. I just sometimes find it hard to control my emotions. You | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
sense the only thing that would wipe the smile off Andy Murray's face | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
given the size of his trophy cabinet would be a failure to build any | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
lasting legacy. Hi's in trouble, I think! | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
Now, it's time for the weather with Kirsteen. | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
It's been a fine day across much of the country with some brightness and | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
sunshine around. Particularly so in the north-east this afternoon. Clear | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
blue skies for many, thank you to one of our weather watchers in | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
Inverness for this picture. This evening and tonight little by wait | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
way of change. We hold on to settled and largely dry conditions. A few | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
showers continuing to pepper the western isles and across sket land | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
during the night. Otherwise dry, clear spells allowing temperatures | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
in sheltered rule rural areas to fall to six or seven Celsius. For | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
the most part we hold up into double figures. Winds will be light to | :24:23. | :24:31. | |
moderate elsewhere. We dawn on a dry and bright note for many of uses | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
with spells of sunshine around, too. However, as we go through the course | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
of the day, cloud will tend to increase in the west and by | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
afternoon that will be followed by some outbreaks of rain and strong | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
otherly winds for western coastal areas. Tomorrow afternoon then we | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
will see a few showers developing across the likes of the Borders in | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
towards the Edinburgh area. A lot of dry, bright weather with spells of | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
sunshine. For western coastal areas, up towards the north-west highlands, | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
Skye and the western isles a cloudy and wet afternoon with brisk winds. | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
We will hold on to dry conditions, sunshine around and temperatures | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
peaking around 17 or 18 Celsius. Towards evening the showers become | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
that bit heavier and more frequent in the east and the south-east and | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
all the while this batch of rain in the west continues to track its way | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
eastwards. By Thursday morning that clears the northern isles quickly. | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
Behind it a lot of dry, bright weather with sunshine and a | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
scattering of showers developing to the north-west and a breezy day | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
around the coasts again. By Friday, after a decent start, rain and | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
strengthening winds moving in. That hes a the forecast. Laura. | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
We'll be back with headlines at 8.00pm and the late bulletin just | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
Until then, from everyone on the team - right | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
across the country - have a very good evening. | :25:58. | :26:02. |
