A material change in unemployment figures, | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
as the number of people out of work falls to its lowest | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
Following a major operation to crackdown on human trafficking - | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
police say they have found eleven potential victims. | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
Nearly 20,000 people have signed a petition calling | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
for Abellio to be stripped of their Scotrail contract | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
because of their disatisfaction with the trains. | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
We'll ask what level of service is acceptable? | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
Something I have never seen before. Deaths and violence have gone up | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
dramatically. The new Justice Secretary said making them safer is | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
a priority, and she has announced plans to increase the numbers of | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
prison staff after years of cuts. Sometimes it is late by ten minutes. | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
It is standing there doing nothing. It gets me to my destination quick | :00:44. | :00:44. | |
It gets me to my destination quick enough. | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
It's a big game for Celtic as they prepare to take | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
on Borussia Munchengladbach in tonight's Champions League match. | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
And discovered off the Galloway coast - | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
the first images of a German U-boat, sunk almost a century ago. | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
Unemployment has fallen sharply again in Scotland. | :00:58. | :01:16. | |
The number of people out of work between June and August was down | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
And the unemployment rate here was lower than the rate | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
Our business and economy Douglas Fraser is here with the details. | :01:24. | :01:36. | |
These figures point to a significant improvement in the labour market, | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
at least in the numbers out of work - down 25,000 to 127,000. | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
That was the biggest fall of any part of the UK, | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
and takes the Scottish unemployment rate to 4.6% - better | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
But in those same summer months, the number of Scots in work fell | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
by 8,000, while the UK saw 106,000 more people working. | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
Scottish textiles were seen as dying and for aly finished but in | :02:01. | :02:18. | |
Schofield the weaker pound has brought a new pattern of sales for | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
the trade customers opening up foreign markets. | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
They are obviously seeing an increase in the raw material costs | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
in terms of buying yarn, but they are taking advantage of favourable | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
exchange rates because they are exporting a lot to the Far East, to, | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
some to Europe, quite a lot to America. So they are seeing some | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
down side but some up side as well. Recover Friday the financial crash | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
has brought in apprenticeship for some who had training programmes | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
that collapsed back then. It has been difficult. I done a | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
apprenticeship in joinery beforehand, and did that for a few | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
years it went really well until the recession hit and things like that. | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
Unemployment and things became an issue. But since coming here I felt | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
my job has been quite secure and its as has went really good. Today's | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
figures suggest there hasn't been such a simple shift. Many people, | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
mostly women appear to be leaving the workforce, they are saying they | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
are not available for work. That goes for 34,000 more working aged | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
Scots women in the year to this summer We have seen a small increase | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
in employment which is welcome, another significant decrease which | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
is welcome, but unfortunately, both of these shifts are more than | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
compensated for by a significant increase in economic inactivity. A | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
labour market where unemployment is falling because people are | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
withdrawing from the labour market rather than going into jobs isn't | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
one we should be complacent about. After we learned yesterday inflation | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
is on the rise, it is worth noting weekly pay increased by 2.3%, that | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
is still well ahead of 1% inflation but it is not expected to stay that | :04:02. | :04:10. | |
far ahead into next year. The job position looked worse than the rest | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
of the UK. That was explained by the gas and oil industry. Oil in small | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
reservoirs nearly 3-and-a-half billion barrels with no plans to | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
extract them and at risk of being untapped. More than two thirds are | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
strapped in small pools. Pools. The new industry regulator is | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
challenging engineers to find new ways to extract that oil and gas, if | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
they can lots more jobs long into the future. | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
Police have discovered a number of children thought to be at risk | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
following a Scotland-wide crackdown on people trafficking. | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
Six youngsters and five adults are being cared | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
for after they were discovered working in nail bars. | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
15 people were arrested or detained in connection | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
with alleged trafficking and immigration offences. | :04:55. | :04:55. | |
Hundreds of police officers took part in a series of operations. | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
Our reporter Andrew Anderson joined one of them. | :04:59. | :05:08. | |
In their sights those who traffic the vulnerable, using them as slave | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
labour. These teams are about to carry out a series of swoops across | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
Fife. This beach is the first stop today for police and immigration | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
officials, there can sometimes be scores of people on this beach | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
gathering shellfish and the agencies are concerned that among them there | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
may be people who have been trafficked or who are working as | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
slave labour. This beach is popular with people | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
from the Chinese community. This is what they are looking for. The two | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
main species they will be after will be the razor clams and the cockles, | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
of which the razor clams are the more valuable. | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
The police approach a Chinese family who a peer to be collecting razor | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
clams. Criminal gangs use cheap labour to supply the catering trade. | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
What language do you speak? Chinese? They tell police they Ron o will a | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
day out. This operation in Fife was repeated across Scotland yesterday. | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
500 police officers looking for the signs of trafficking. | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
Sometimes people who just display fear or anxiety, on some of the | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
worst occasions people could perhaps display injuries which are the | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
result of being assaulted. display injuries which are the | :06:24. | :06:31. | |
stop, a car wash. Is there anybody else we will find? These workers are | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
mainly Bulgarian, everything here was above board. The owner told me | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
the traffic Kerrs are bad for business. They are, we can't compete | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
with people who are doing that, because it is hard for us to, you | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
know, to pay the wages and pay the bills at the end of the month. It is | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
quite hard. How big a problem is trafficking in Scotland? It is a | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
very difficult to put a figure on the number of people out there being | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
exploited because they could be exploited in a number of way, the | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
key thing for that is that where it is identified it brought to the | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
police attention. The police hope this latest operation will | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
ultimately lead them to those criminal gangs, who deal in people, | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
for profit. A petition demanding improvements | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
to Scotrail services, signed by nearly 20,000 people, | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
has been handed to the Government. Campaigners claim Scotrail provides | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
a poor deal for commuters, with widespread delays | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
and cancellations. In response, the company says | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
it is working hard to improve customer satisfaction, | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
and it is expanding its fleet Here's our transport correspondent, | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
David Henderson. A symbol of sips content about the | :07:34. | :07:51. | |
way Scotland's railways are run. In this box, a petition, backed by | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
19,000 people. Among them, this woman who is fed up with being late | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
for college. Sometimes it is late by ten minutes. It is standing there | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
doing nothing, there was a day it started at nine, so we all got there | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
late because it is my whole class is getting that train. The campaign's | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
message to Government is simple. Get tough with ScotRail bosses or strip | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
them of their contract. A delay sounds like a statistic but it has | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
an impact on somebody's life. We have had stories from members who | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
have missed appointment, interviews and there has been real impact on | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
then from delays. Waiting to meet them today, the Transport Minister, | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
last month he asked ScotRail for a performance improvement plan. He | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
told me that should mean fewer delay, a better deal for passengers. | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
There is a plan in place over the franchise, to have more services | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
running, to have high speed trains, longer trains so people don't have | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
to be crowded on. Nothing is perfect. No. I hold ScotRail to | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
account to make sure they deliver. It is 8 is month since the Dutch | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
firm Abellio won the ScotRail franchise. It promised to invest | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
millions to improve service. But not all their plans have stayed on | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
track. ScotRail say that just under 90% of their services run on time, | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
or less than five minutes late. That is just below their target but they | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
say the huge increase in passengers travelling on the railways presents | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
them with a challenge, and has caused some services to run slower. | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
This hasn't helped either. ScotRail wants to improve the rail network to | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
boost passenger numbers and speed up trains but that has meant | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
large-scale repair work and disruption. So what do other | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
passengers think? It was a nights mare when the works were getting | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
done, other than that I am fine. It gets delayed every so often, | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
comparing to other ways of travel I found it good I go back-and-forth | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
from Glasgow to Edinburgh. It is regular and fine. ScotRail has been | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
given time to improve its service by ministers and passengers wants an | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
assurance that there is light at the end of the tunnel. | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
The UK government has rejected a call from the SNP to give | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
a guarantee that EU nationals can stay in the UK after Brexit. | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
During a debate at Westminster, they claimed EU citizens | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
But UK ministers say they can't make promises until similar assurances | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
Here's our political correspondent, Nick Eardley. | :10:28. | :10:38. | |
In the Highlands, Polish born nan has been in Scotland for ten years | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
but for the first time she is considering her position after the | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
EU referendum result I don't know if I will be able to stay, will I be | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
able to, made to go, made to go or, yes, I just don't know, I think that | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
is what makes me anxious, I have no idea what is going to happen. The | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
Scottish Government says it will fight for EU citizens to stay. You | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
remain welcome here, Scotland is your home. Today the SNP at | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
Westminster called on the UK Government to guarantee the rights | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
of EU nationals after Brexit. The status of millions of our fellow | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
workers friends and neighbours is uncertain. Mr Speaker it is not good | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
enough. Conservative MPs accused the SNP of scaremongering, saying they | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
were the only ones raising the prospect of people being asked to | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
leave. The UK Government says it wants to give assurances, but they | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
will only come if there is a similar promise to British citizens living | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
in Europe. There are over one million British citizens who have | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
built their lives elsewhere in Europe that are counting on us to | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
secure their future. We simply want a fair deal. But for some that is | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
not enough. They say EU citizens may be worried so they will leave. There | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
was a warning about the effect of post-Brexit rhetoric There are | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
people who have been emboldens by the climate, who want to see EU | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
nationals dispelled and worse. Back in Inverness she hopes there will be | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
guarantees for people already here. I think people who are here for so | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
many years, and, have mortgages, families, people, kids going to | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
school and things, yes, I think they should be guaranteed really to stay. | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
A cup of tea for now but she is not ready to completely relax just yet. | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
Meanwhile, Scottish government ministers have been in Brussels | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
to discuss Scotland's future relationship with the EU. | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
Scotland's minister for Brexit, Mike Russell, and external affairs | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
minister Fiona Hyslop had a series of meetings at the | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
They say their aim is to try to keep Scotland inside the single market. | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
It is very much? Scotland's interests to be parts of the single | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
market. There is no doubt about that. We have to make sure that we | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
are part of the single market. That is the objective we have, and we | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
will go on arguing for that through the process and we will do it within | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
the internal UK negotiations but it is important it is understand here | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
You're watching BBC Reporting Scotland. | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
The number of unemployed people in Scotland has fallen to its lowest | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
It's all smiles now with these two boxers despite the heated fighting | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
A charity believes Scotland can eradicate youth homelessness | :13:23. | :13:36. | |
in a decade if it adopts a Canadian approach. | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
The Rock Trust argues early intervention and prevention work | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
with schools, social workers and families will stop young | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
My mental health was going down a lot. I wanted to just be back with | :13:48. | :14:05. | |
my family, but I couldn't. AJ left care aged 16. Ended up being the | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
college drop out a lot. I couldn't cope with doing so many thing, I | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
would leave a job because I couldn't do it because I had issues going on, | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
so it was, everything just went, it was like a roller coaster. This | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
charity offers practical support as was like a roller coaster. This | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
well as advice. It thinks homelessness can be wiped out in ten | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
years if Scotland follows a Canadian model of early intervention. We are | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
asking for teachers and educators for family workers to identify young | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
people who are likely to become homeless. Want to make sure they | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
there are housing options goods for young people. The charity wants | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
councils to help. Local Authorities are willing but argue more action is | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
needed tackling underlying problems like poverty and mental health. I | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
left at 16, coming on 17, and it was the worst time to leave, you are not | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
fully adult yet. You might think you are but you are not. So, use the | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
time you have got, while you have got it, because once you have left, | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
there is no way back in. In. Voluntary work and part-time study | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
have come from this help, the charity believes identifying and | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
supporting vulnerable teenagers sooner could end youth homelessness | :15:28. | :15:28. | |
in a decade. Three appeal judges have heard | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
arguments about a court ruling to evict a group of independence | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
campaigners from their camp in the The Indycamp was set up outside | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
Holyrood in November last year, with supporters pledging to stay | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
until Scotland became independent. The judges have said they will issue | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
their written judgment later. The judges have said they will issue | :15:49. | :15:57. | |
their written findings later. A woman from the Highlands credited | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
with inventing the disposable nappy and transforming the lives | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
of millions of parents has Shortly after the Second World War, | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
Valerie Hunter-Gordon, from Beauly, made her first disposable nappies | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
using an absorbent inner pad and a waterproof outer | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
from parachute nylon. The design was patented and sold | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
worldwide as Paddis. Celtic are hoping to take a huge | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
step towards securing European The Glasgow side have one point | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
so far in Group C and the Germans are bottom with no points, | :16:32. | :16:40. | |
so tonight's outcome Here's our senior football reporter, | :16:41. | :16:42. | |
Chris McLaughlin. Celtic go into this with lots of | :16:43. | :16:52. | |
confidence after that 3-3 match a couple of weeks ago. Can they do it | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
again this evening? Two former Celtic players join me now. I | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
mentioned the word confidence, is it well-placed? Yes, it's here in | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
mentioned the word confidence, is it abundance at the moment. Another | :17:07. | :17:08. | |
good performance at the weekend against my team. In Europe they've | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
been doing quite well off the back of that 3-3 and I expect them to go | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
into this game with that abundance of confidence and I think they'll | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
get three points tonight. We know the Germans are struggling with | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
injury and illness, four first team players missing this evening - | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
should that make much of a difference, this is still a top and | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
a sleek aside? Yes, and the German league is one of the top leagues in | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
Europe. -- top Bundesliga side. This is a team who close you down, | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
fossils wrong and fit and fast with Sung-Yueng players, and they will | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
play on the counterattack so so basaltic will have to be very wary. | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
So, how will it go this evening? I think Celtic will win, but it will | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
be close. I will say 2-1. I will say 2-0, Celtic start fast, as they | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
usually do at home. It could be another memorable night here this | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
evening. It will certainly be another noisy night and the game is | :18:11. | :18:13. | |

difficult for Glasgow's players in a week when rugby mourns monster's | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
head coach Anthony Foley. The 42-year-old died suddenly at the | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
weekend, but his side's match against the Warriors this Saturday | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
goes ahead as planned. There will be a lot of emotion at the game. I | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
think it's a game to remember. To remember what Anthony did and helped | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
create at Munster. They've got a 28,000 seater stadium and he was one | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
of the key players who got them that success. I was looking forward to | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
catching up with him. It's such a loss for our game, a huge loss for | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
Munster rugby, so our thoughts go with them and Anthony's family. | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
Anthony Foley's funeral is on Friday, the day before the match. | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
The players have so much respect for him than they try and get on with it | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
and try and do the job the way we think and no Anthony would want us | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
to go on with it. And that's what drives us. Glasgow started their | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
European campaign by claiming the Leicester tigers, and handling their | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
own emotions could be key this time. This is not the first time recently | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
the Warriors have had to deal with difficult circumstances away from | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
rugby. Last year they had a much postponed against Racing following | :19:54. | :19:55. | |
the deadly terrorist attacks in Paris. This time to the match goes | :19:56. | :20:05. | |
ahead as planned, but they say they hope to be representative at the | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
funeral of Anthony Foley, or make an appropriate gesture and the stadium | :20:11. | :20:11. | |
otherwise. Boxing now, and there were angry | :20:12. | :20:13. | |
exchanges at a news conference ahead of the first professional fight | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
for the Commonwealth Games His manager, the former world | :20:17. | :20:18. | |
champion Barry McGuigan, was clearly angered by comments made | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
by his opponent's trainer, Dave Ryan and Josh Taylor were in | :20:23. | :20:34. | |
Edinburgh to promote Friday's bought. The fighting talk was not | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
coming from the boxes. On Friday night, when it's on, we'll see. | :20:40. | :20:47. | |
Coming into your backyard, into your house, and I'm going to put your | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
pants down and spank you. I'm going to put your arms off, put your legs | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
off, and I'm going to drown you. Was it a step too far? For me, it's a | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
line crossed. Clifton is loud and he likes to be heard. It's always a | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
step too far with Clifton Mitchell. He tends to be vociferous on behalf | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
of his voters. You notice that his fighter was not as garrulous. Dave | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
Ryan is a tough kid, but that's what he is. This kid is world champion | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
written all over. Taylor proved himself on the international stage | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
at amateur level at the Commonwealth Games two years ago. He accepts Dave | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
Ryan is his best opponents of. This fight is a massive step up for me. | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
proven that he's tough and durable. proven that he's tough and durable. | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
-- best opponent so far. He's been Commonwealth champion, he's been the | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
British champion. So he's definitely got the pedigree. He's a good | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
fighter. That I believe I'm the man for the job on Friday, to claim that | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
title. Any ill feeling had disappeared by the time the boxes | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
went head-to-head. Friday's meeting will be less cordial. | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
A German U-boat which sank almost a century ago has been discovered | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
It was found by engineers laying underwater power cables. | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
It's been claimed that the submarine's crew abandoned | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
the boat after being attacked by a monster. | :22:18. | :22:18. | |
The waters of the Irish sea off the coast of Galloway. During World War | :22:19. | :22:31. | |
I, German U-boats used this place as their hunting ground. Royal Navy | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
ships were trying to find and destroy them. Now, engineers laying | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
cable say they have found the wreckage of one of them. This might | :22:39. | :22:46. | |
be UB-85, a 45 metre long submarine which was sunk in 1918, one of about | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
12 German and British World War I submarines which met their end in | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
the Irish sea. Sonar images from the sea bed sureties virtually intact. | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
We do really detailed surveys of the sea bed so that we can look out for | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
obstacles which might be in the way, boulders and things like that. What | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
we did not expect to find was a German U-boat. It's probably the | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
most amazing thing I've ever come across in the whole of my | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
construction experience. The sub submarine surfaced and was captured | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
by a Royal Navy vessel. The German crew said they had just survive to | :23:23. | :23:23. | |
fight with a sea monster! Could it crew said they had just survive to | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
have been a relative of Nessie? We don't know what is down there. Loch | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
Ness itself is twice the depth of the North Sea. Who knows what is | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
down there, in maritime and geological terms? What could have | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
actually attacked the submarine? We will just never know. | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
actually attacked the submarine? We explanation just muddies the waters, | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
says this historian. This submarine was caught on the surface at night | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
recharging its Patrice. It saw the HM Drifter Coreopsis coming, it | :23:57. | :23:57. | |
attempted to do a crash dive to get HM Drifter Coreopsis coming, it | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
away, and the young officer whose job it was too shocked the hatch at | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
the top did not show it properly. And so once the submarine was | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
underwater, it rapidly started flooding from above. So they had no | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
option but to blow all the compressed air out, bring the | :24:13. | :24:14. | |
submarine to the surface and surrender. Seems that the idea of a | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
watery creature defending Britain's shores may have been sunk. I like | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
the idea of Nessie doing her bit for shores may have been sunk. I like | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
the war effort, but I think in reality, the real sea monster is the | :24:28. | :24:28. | |
U-boat. Now, here's Graham Stewart | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
with details of Scotland 2016. Reports suggest the Prime Minister | :24:33. | :24:45. | |
may consider a separate deal to allow the City of London to remain | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
in the single market after Brexit. Well, as Scottish ministers met in | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
Brussels today, we will ask if Scotland could get a similar deal. | :24:54. | :25:02. | |
To the weather now, and Christopher has got the latest. It was a lovely | :25:03. | :25:11. | |
day for many, largely dry. Best of the sunshine in the west and | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
south-west. The cloud in the east was broken, with sunshine coming | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
through there as well. Tonight, dry and chilly with any showers around | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
the Borders clearing away. It will be colder than last night. In the | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
countryside, rural parts of Highland and Grampian, subzero. Tomorrow, | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
high pressure still with us, no pressure across the near continent | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
and this weather front trying to come in several really slow | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
progress. For many, after a chilly start, it will be a dry and fine | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
day. One or two early showers around East Lothian and the eastern | :25:56. | :25:57. | |
borders, but those should clear away after lunch. By mid-afternoon, it | :25:58. | :26:06. | |
should feel fairly passant. The cloud will be thickening around the | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
west coast, especially for the Hebrides and the Western Isles, | :26:13. | :26:14. | |
where that weather front is approaching. But the rain will stay | :26:15. | :26:24. | |
away until after dark. Into the rest of the afternoon and the evening, | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
that cloud and rain starting to edge in, and it will be a cloudier day. | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
This weather front edging in towards the north-west. There will be some | :26:35. | :26:43. | |
outbreaks of rain. Fairly light and patchy in the name. High cloud, so | :26:44. | :26:52. | |
still reasonably bright at times. Into the weekend, and it sent | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
easterly wind. That's the forecast. Our main headlines... Unemployment | :26:57. | :27:11. | |
has fallen sharply again in Scotland. The number of people out | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
of work between June and August was down 25,000 on the previous quarter. | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
It's now at its lowest level since 2008. A call by Conservative MP | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
David Davies to carry out dental checks on child refugees to | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
establish their age has been criticised as unethical. It follows | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
claims that some who say they are children are actually over 18. | :27:34. | :27:39. | |
