That's all from the BBC News at Six so it's goodbye from me, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Ronnie Coulter, convicted of stabbing to death an Indian | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Surjit Singh Chhokar was just 32 when he was killed in a row over | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
His family have waited nearly 18 years | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
It has been hard for us especially my mum and dad. This is the third | :00:21. | :00:34. | |
trial, my dad died waiting for this trial date to come. Sadly he could | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
not make it. We'll be looking at | :00:37. | :00:37. | |
why it took so long. Ruth Davidson tells | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
the Tory party conference the First Minister needs to stop | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
picking fights with Westminster. Hibs prepare for their | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
Champions League match And the stars are out in St Andrews | :00:49. | :00:49. | |
as Ronan Keating tees It's taken 18 years and three | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
trials, but today a man was finally convicted of the murder of Indian | :00:56. | :01:17. | |
waiter Surjit Singh Chhokar. The case resulted in wide-ranging | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
changes to the police and prosecution service | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
after mistakes were made by the Crown Office and there | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
was found to be institutional racism within the police - | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
particularly in how they dealt In a moment we'll look at why | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
the conviction took so long to secure, but first our reporter | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
Andrew Black reports on today's After an 18 year fight, the family | :01:39. | :01:52. | |
of Surjit Singh Chhokar said that justice had finally been done. He | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
was a loving son, father and brother who was lucky to have two stubborn | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
parents refuse to be silenced as they fought for justice as a right | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
and not a privilege. His late father always said until his very last | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
breath, that he would have hoped for justice. Whilst the dead cannot cry | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
out for justice, it is the duty of the living to do so for them. And | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
that day has finally come after Ronnie Coulter was convicted of | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
murder. Mr Chokkar was 32 when he died. He was working at this Indian | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
restaurant and also claiming unemployment benefit. He had a flat | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
here and Ronnie Coulter also lived in the same building. As did his | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
nephew, Andrew. On the morning of the 4th of November 1998, Andrew | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
Coulter, jobless and looking for cash to buy alcohol, broke into the | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
flat of Mr Chokkar and still a giro cheque for ?100. After getting his | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
uncle to forge the signature of Mr Chokkar he cashed it at a local post | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
office. The partner of Mr Chokkar Elizabeth Bryce found out what had | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
happened and threatened to call the police. It was a threat which ended | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
in murder. Most of the time Mr Chokkar lived here with Elizabeth | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
Bryce and on the night of the 4th of November Ronnie and Andrew Coulter | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
and a third man, Dean Montgomerie, travelled here to meet Mr Chokkar | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
coming home from work. There was a confrontation in the street that | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
ended with Ronnie Coulter stabbing Mr Chokkar to death. Ronnie Coulter | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
was tried and acquitted of murder in 1999. The following year Andrew | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
Coulter and David Montgomerie were also found not guilty of the crime. | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Coulter and David Montgomerie were There was criticism of how the case | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
was handled, one report found institutional racism within the | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
police. Today officers said the lessons learned from the original | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
case have vastly improved the way that things are done. We need to | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
make sure these things never happen again. In terms of this type of | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
dashed investigation, it is only the second case of double jeopardy. But | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
also we need to learn how we deal with families. Ronnie Coulter once | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
also we need to learn how we deal boasted of getting away with the | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
perfect murder. Now he faces a life term when he is sentenced later this | :04:35. | :04:35. | |
month. Ronnie Coulter's re-trial was only | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
the second time that double jeopardy rules have been used to try someone | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
previously acquitted of a crime. Our Home Affairs correspondent | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
Reevel Alderson reports on the long journey to convict Ronnie Coulter | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
and the toll it has taken on the family of Surjit Singh | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
Chhokar. It has been very hard for us | :04:50. | :05:03. | |
especially my mum and dad. This is the third trial, my dad died waiting | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
for this trial date to come, sadly he could not make it. And he died | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
last year in October. Almost a year before. Just over four months after | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
his death, Ronnie Coulter was acquitted of the murder of Mr | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
Chokkar, he had blamed his nephew Andrew and David Montgomerie. The | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
trial judge Lord McCluskey, a former prosecutor, attacked the crime for | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
not putting all three in the dock. He said I cannot begin to understand | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
how it happened and shall be taking steps to see if I can discover what | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
the reason was for the course that was taken. The Lord advocate | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
insisted it had been correct to prosecute only Ronnie Coulter but | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
legal experts said was a difficult decision. One reason why it was a | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
failure was the police were criticised for not sufficiently | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
investigating sufficiently rigorously. So this time with the | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
passage of time there has been further police investigations and | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
new witnesses coming forward which has allowed the conviction to be | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
secured in this case. Two years after the murder of the other men, | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
Andrew Coulter and David Montgomerie, were also acquitted of | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
murder having faced a separate trial. In return they had blamed | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
Ronnie Coulter. In 2001 a review of prosecution decisions in the case by | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
senior Northern Ireland judge said all three men should have been | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
indicted together. The Lord Advocate told MSP is the Crown had failed the | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
family. The family have a genuine sense of grievance that justice has | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
not been done. Of course no prosecution service can never | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
guarantee a conviction. And as a society we must never expect results | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
in individual cases. Nevertheless the fact is we did not give | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
ourselves the best shot of prosecution. To that extent the | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
family's grievance that justice was not done by the prosecution is well | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
founded. It was another 14 years before Ronnie Coulter was again | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
invited under new double jeopardy laws and today Ronnie Coulter was | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
finally convicted despite having once more blamed his nephew and | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
David Montgomerie for the killing. But there was no celebration for the | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
family. It is not going to be a happy occasion for us, all we want | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
is justice done for my brother and my family. That is all we're looking | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
for. The person who murdered my brother, we would like to see him | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
behind bars for the punishment he has done for his crime. That is all | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
we want. There's no celebration, no happiness for us because we have | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
lost a member of the family. All we are looking for is justice. | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
The Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson has warned the SNP | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
government against picking fights with Westminster. | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
She was speaking at her party's UK conference - | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
immediately before the prime minister Theresa May. | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
Our political correspondent Nick Eardley was there. | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
She is something of a superstar at the Tory conference. Ruth Davidson | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
used her keynote speech to say government must do more for ordinary | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
people. She has been basking in the recent electoral success of Scottish | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
Conservatives and told delegates what you would be urging Nicola | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
Sturgeon to do. Instead of picking endless fights with Westminster, | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
pick a fight with poor literacy and numerous these standards in Scottish | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
schools. They can fight with the health chiefs. You are elected to | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
improve the lives of people in our country. And a message on | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
independence. You have seen Nicola Sturgeon on the television most | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
weeks telling you Scotland is up in arms again. Threatening the break-up | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
of Britain, asserting independence is closer now than ever before. | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
Declaring that separation is somehow inevitable. Today speaking to people | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
across the UK, I want to make this clear. Do not believe a word of it. | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
Ruth Davidson has been given one of the most prominent slots are big and | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
seven conference and although Brexit has been a key scene, there has been | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
plenty of support for the union and opposition to another independence | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
bill. A message that continues as Theresa May set out her vision for | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
Britain. I will always fight to preserve our proud historic union | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
and will never let divisive nationalists drive us apart. Nicola | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
Sturgeon things Theresa May's vision for Brexit Britain is deeply upbeat, | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
she branded immigration proposals hugely worrying. The Prime Minister | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
insisted change would come but promised it would work for all. My | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
vision is for Britain to be a great meritocracy, what I have always | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
believed in, the cause of everything I have ever done in politics because | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
a country based on merit and not privilege is a country that is fair. | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
That is the message they hope will emerge from this conference. And one | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
the Conservatives think people want to hear. | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
Holyrood has taken the first steps towards increasing the top four | :10:08. | :10:09. | |
The money raised will be invested in schools. | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
Our political editor Brian Taylor joins me. | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
Brian, it was endorsed by Holyrood's local government committee, | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
Not without contention as you say. The greens for example wanted a | :10:19. | :10:32. | |
full-scale revaluation of property with a more radical change to local | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
authority finance systems. The Conservatives were unhappy that | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
authority finance systems. The money raised locally would not stay | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
with local authorities would be going directly to schools under this | :10:43. | :10:50. | |
programme. But the Finance Secretary Derek Mackay took a cautious | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
approach and said it was right and proportionate and balance. In | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
practice this will mean that they have changed the rules, next year | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
there will be a higher imposition on the top for council tax bands. In | :11:04. | :11:14. | |
the top band it will cost ?570 more. And for the vast bulk of people they | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
will not see any particular change permits Derek Mackay is many things | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
but one thing he appears to be is a student of history. He knows a | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
substantial overhaul of local government finance tends not to end | :11:29. | :11:29. | |
well. Scots scientist Sir Fraser Stoddart | :11:30. | :11:30. | |
is among three recipients of this It has been awarded for his work | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
developing molecular machines. The machines are a thousand times | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
thinner than a strand of hair. Sir Fraser was brought up | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
in Midlothian and educated at Edinburgh University, | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
where he also endows a prize He was back here in April and we had | :11:45. | :11:59. | |
a very enjoyable ceremony and he always enjoys coming back. One of | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
the things that came across from him is just how, what a nice individual | :12:04. | :12:11. | |
he is. He is a very kind man. And he was inspiring, he gave a | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
presentation to all postgrad students and researchers and they | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
were inspired. The Scottish government's set | :12:17. | :12:18. | |
out seven priorities They include resilience, | :12:19. | :12:19. | |
responsiveness and adaptability. And will the fine words be met | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
with action to cut crime and keep our communities safe | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
at a time of financial efficiencies? Community support in West Lothian | :12:30. | :12:43. | |
where more local policing is welcomed. I think in previous years | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
we have seen a shift away from community policing and it is good to | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
see it back. It is about prevention, community policing and it is good to | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
if we have officers on the ground below the people and the community | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
and people know them, they build up trust and that strengthens the | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
relationship. They commit things in the bud. People know who they are | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
and it gives them that opportunity. Judge Justice Minister the Met | :13:06. | :13:13. | |
Police leaders to unveil seven new measures, the force is going to | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
tackle developing threats such as cyber crime is one of community | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
policing. The new priorities are to make sure we get the lid balance | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
right. Local policing and also responding to new and emerging | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
threats such as cyber crime which can be in someone's front room. But | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
new priorities come with no new funding and there is already a | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
period of cuts and efficiencies. We need to make the most of the money | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
we have and spend it wisely. We can do more with what we've got. We have | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
to make choices and that is the same in any part of the public sector. We | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
will do that with people and not to them. To understand and agree with | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
decisions being made. Seven promises, seven | :13:59. | :13:59. | |
decisions being made. Seven volunteers hope that means the | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
authorities are listening and responding to local needs. | :14:02. | :14:04. | |

Ronnie Coulter has been convicted of the 1988 murder of waiter | :14:09. | :14:13. | |

Hibs prepare for their Champions League match against | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
Construction work has begun on the new fleet of nuclear | :14:26. | :14:41. | |
submarines which will carry the controversial | :14:42. | :14:43. | |
Four of the Successor submarines are being built in Cumbria, | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
but when they enter service, they'll operate from Faslane Naval | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
Our business correspondent David Henderson is with me now. | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
And this is part of the big investment for the Clyde. Yes, it | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
is, the Royal Navy's next generation of nuclear submarines has been | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
built, designed to carry Trident missiles, the UK nuclear weapons | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
system and they will sail from the Royal Navy base on the Clyde. This | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
is a long-term programme. The last of these subs will not be built | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
until the 20 40s and they are designed to remain operational until | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
around 50 years from now. Some of the technology on board will be | :15:21. | :15:31. | |
built by companies in Scotland but the UK Government says what is most | :15:32. | :15:32. | |
built by companies in Scotland but important is that this is part of a | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
wider plan involving investment of half ?1 billion on the Clyde. | :15:36. | :15:36. | |
We are investing in Faslane, all our submarines will be raised in | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
Faslane, not just these successes brings but the astute class of which | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
three have already been built and eventually the Trafalgar submarines | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
that are moving from Portsmouth. Self has lain will become the base | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
for all Britain's submarines in future. That is a | :15:55. | :15:55. | |
The announcement was made at the Conservative Party Conference and it | :15:56. | :16:06. | |
is highly political. No coincidence that it's happening today, there's | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
always a lot of politics in these big announcements by the Ministry of | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
Defence. We had this at the Tory party Conference, its just before | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
the SNP Conference, it is sterling by big political row. We know SNP | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
wants to scrap Trident, they say it is wrong militarily, immoral and | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
wants to scrap Trident, they say it ridiculously expensive. The Tories | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
say they are wrong and that Trident boosts our defence and our National | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
security. And they stress that, once built, they will be based on the | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
Clyde, it all means that when Scottish voters think of issues | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
around Scottish independence that those nuclear submarines, the jobs | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
that go with them and the sheer cost, we'll all be part of the | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
political debate perhaps for decades to come. David, thank you. | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
Police have released CCTV footage of missing Clydebank | :16:59. | :17:00. | |
The 16-year-old has been missing for almost three weeks | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
and police and his family are increasingly worried. | :17:08. | :17:09. | |
Police have released two CCTV images of him walking through Dalmuir Park | :17:10. | :17:13. | |

This is the last confirmed sighting of him and police are hoping others | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
who were in the park, may remember seeing him and contact them. | :17:24. | :17:26. | |

Themes will include medicine and health, animals | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
We tried to work with our local community to create events tailored | :18:49. | :19:01. | |
to suit their needs and interests. We make the event accessible so many | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
events in community centres are free of charge and we pick themes that | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
are important to Dundee in raising the profile of the work that happens | :19:10. | :19:11. | |
here. Rangers midfielder Joey Barton has | :19:12. | :19:12. | |
been charged with breaking rules relating to gambling | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
on football matches. The 34-year-old is accused | :19:18. | :19:18. | |
by the Scottish Football Association of placing 44 bets between 1st July | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
and 15th September this year. The player has a week | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
to respond to the charge. SFA rules ban players, | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
coaches and club officials from betting on football anywhere | :19:30. | :19:31. | |
in the world. European Champions League | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
football comes to Edinburgh Hibernian Ladies take on the Germans | :19:36. | :19:37. | |
of Bayern Munich at Easter Road. With Glasgow City playing in Sweden | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
tomorrow, it's the first time two Scottish sides have | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
featured in the competition. So is it a sign of progress | :19:47. | :19:48. | |
in the women's game? Here's our Senior Football Reporter | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
Chris McLaughlin. Hibernian Ladies, part-time players | :19:52. | :20:03. | |
preparing like professionals, preparing for the start of their | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
Champions League dream. And in the stadium usually reserved for the | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
club's man tonight the women do battle with the European elite. | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
They'll have the chance to play against full-time professionals, | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
some of the best in the world, Olympic, world champions, European | :20:22. | :20:23. | |
champions so from that point of view it will be great for them to get the | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
experience of playing at that level to see where they are in relation to | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
it and where we are as a club. Polished promotional videos tell | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
their own story about the opponents, women's football in Germany is | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
thriving, successful and professional, just ask the Scot who | :20:44. | :20:45. | |
made the switch their four years ago. This is one of the strongest | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
leagues in Europe, I think I've said that before and I think Scottish | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
football has definitely grown. You can see that in the way that our | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
national team has developed and given that we've qualified for the | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
Euro is ever the first time in history. Evidence of improvement | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
perhaps but what of growth? According to Scottish women's | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
football in 2014 there were 68 teams, that has now risen to 126. | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
They say by 2020 they want that to rise further, to 431. Total players | :21:20. | :21:28. | |
registered, over 10,000. There are so many countries playing | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
professionally. But we need to keep our best talent here, and do more to | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
do that, according to one experienced coach. The figure is | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
more than 20 playing out of Scotland, in one sense it is great | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
for the national team because those players are playing in a | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
professional environment against the very best players. However | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
domestically that can be problematic for our game because in essence it | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
perhaps dilutes a bit of the quality. A balancing act in the | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
search for success. Kris Laughlin, Reporting Scotland. | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
Two young Scots golfers make their European Tour debuts tomorrow | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
But as well as competing with some of the world's best players they'll | :22:08. | :22:16. | |
be rubbing shoulders with stars of stage, screen | :22:17. | :22:18. | |
The old course at Saint Andrews, one of the three venues in the next | :22:19. | :22:30. | |
couple of days and game meets showbiz and where pop stars like | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
rolling Keating play along sporting legends like Sir Ian Botham and | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
golfers like the US Masters champion Danny Willett. But Michael Ronan | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
Keating. This year that two rookie Scots professionals taking part. The | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
first is this 20-year-old from Glasgow. For the last ten years I've | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
watched it on TV thinking I want to be there, I want to play against | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
them. All of a sudden I am playing against them and it seems bizarre to | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
be sitting beside them on the range. Also teeing up will be this | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
23-year-old from East Lothian. Miz it's a big event to start your | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
professional career on. You obviously hope to play well. Messi | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
but the main thing is to go out and enjoy it and make the most of the | :23:14. | :23:36. | |
experience. It is fair to say, however, there is a difference in | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
the scale of the ambitions of our two Rockies. To be a top 50 player | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
in the world and play on the PGA Tour and the European tour, all that | :23:43. | :23:44. | |
stuff would be so call. Being there today is just making me hungry, | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
making me want to be a European tour golfer full-time. I've got to school | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
coming this year so hopefully I will walk out this season with a tour | :23:51. | :23:52. | |
coming this year so hopefully I will card. If there are any nerves on the | :23:53. | :23:54. | |
tee from the new boys at the Dunhill links they want to be alone. | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
Practice and practice and get ready and as soon as you stand up and | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
there's an audience it cripples you. That is the hardest part. If you can | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
get over the nerves, the game is their but the nerves kill me. A | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
decent shot but Ronan Keating will their but the nerves kill me. A | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
not be troubling the leading professionals in years to come but | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
maybe the two Scottish rookies will. David Curry, Reporting Scotland, St | :24:22. | :24:22. | |
Andrews. I thought that was a good shot. No | :24:23. | :24:33. | |
details of Scotland 2016. Tonight Theresa May plants her tax firmly on | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
Labour's lawn but does anyone really believe the Tories are now the party | :24:37. | :24:43. | |
of the working class? And after an 18 year wait for justice what | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
lessons can be learnt from the case of Surjit Singh Chhokar? We'll be | :24:50. | :24:50. | |
talking about that and other stories at 10:30pm. No time for the weather. | :24:51. | :25:01. | |
A beautiful day for many, if we look at the satellite image we began with | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
cloud and then it started thinning to allow more sunshine to end the | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
day. The lion's share of the sunshine in the north-west, there | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
wasn't a cloud in the sky for some areas, this beautiful weather | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
pictures sent in, tonight and picked at 18 Celsius across the sky | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
Ireland. In the evening staying dry and breezy, cloud will increase into | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
the evening with the strong south-easterly winds especially | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
strong across the Galloway coast and up towards the Western Isles and the | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
Northern Isles, further inland, a bit lighter and more cloud across | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
the South and the East, here, temperatures of mine 10 degrees. | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
Sheltered glens, where things should stick to five Celsius under clear | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
skies. A cloudy start tomorrow will once again the cloud will break and | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
we will see much more sunshine developing especially by afternoon. | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
The best of which again across the north-west of the country. The wins | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
will use a little. A lot of sunshine over Shetland, the wind still fresh | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
for Orkney and the coast but elsewhere towards the north-west | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
temperatures could reach 16 or 17 degrees a game. Elsewhere, 14 | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
Celsius as our hi, maybe 15 for Dumfries and Galloway. All this fine | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
weather has been courtesy of this area of high pressure, still with us | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
and it will be for the weekend as well, keeping areas of low pressure | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
weather systems at bay in the Atlantic. Although the winds become | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
more easterly by Friday and we may see some show was coming through. So | :26:38. | :26:44. | |
for Friday showers will be light, isolated, maybe towards the east and | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
the best sunshine in the West again. 12-13d. Through the weekend it will | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
stay fine and settled, a few showers and turning a little cooler. That's | :26:55. | :26:56. | |
the forecast. Thank you. Record has been convicted | :26:57. | :27:07. | |
of the murder of the waiter Surjit Singh Chhokar after having been | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
tried twice under Scotland's double jeopardy laws. The Prime Minister | :27:11. | :27:19. | |
has set out a vision of a party representing working people. Theresa | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
May has said she wants the country to be a country | :27:26. | :27:30. |
