is all from us. Now on BBC One begin joined the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hundreds of women have continued to receive mesh implants - | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
despite calls for operations to be suspended following | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
You trust your doctors, you don't think you're going to be harmed. | :00:12. | :00:25. | |
We'll be asking why is this procedure still being done? | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
Also on the programme, The full report into the death | :00:28. | :00:30. | |

And as Andy Murray wins Sports Personality of | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
the year for a third time - is there now a case | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
for considering tennis as Scotland's new national sport? | :00:59. | :01:20. | |
Hundreds of mesh implant operations have been performed | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
in Scotland despite ministers suspending their use | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
because of potential health complications. | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
Figures obtained by the BBC show that more than 400 women have | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
received mesh and mesh tape implants - usually used for pelvic | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
and incontinence problems - since June 2014 when the then health | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
secretary called for their suspension. | :01:37. | :01:37. | |
Our political correspondent Lucy Adams has this exclusive report. | :01:38. | :01:50. | |
Hospital treatment is meant to make patients feel better but not for | :01:51. | :02:00. | |
Gillian who needs crutches to get round. I thought I would be fined. | :02:01. | :02:09. | |
Gillian had a mesh implant in 2011. It is meant to be a standard | :02:10. | :02:18. | |
procedure. You trust your doctor. You don't think you will be harmed. | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
Life as I knew it completely changed. I lost my career and I lost | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
everything. Life was completely destroyed. This is polypropylene, | :02:28. | :02:40. | |
the same material used to wrap newspapers and to make mash | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
implants. It can contract, it can break up in the body, I know of | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
women who have lost their bladder and kidney. How they can put this | :02:54. | :03:03. | |
into bodies I have no idea. It was suspended back in 2014. That was | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
following pleas from women suffering debilitating side-effects. Figures | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
show that more than 400 women have had it since the recommended | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
suspension. The BBC has learned Greater Glasgow health board has | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
conducted 178 of such operations. For some procedures this is the only | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
choice. They either live with their symptoms or have these mesh | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
procedures. So it is their only chance of some benefit and of having | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
a benefit that lets them get out of the house. But this consultant who's | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
been advising the Scottish Government on these procedures says | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
there is at least two other forms of surgery which should be offered but | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
which ministers cannot stop the use of mesh. Only the MHRA could ban it | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
from the whole of the UK but the government could suggest to health | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
boards and clinicians to consider suspending these until we find | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
exactly where the problem lies, is it in the device, the procedure, the | :04:19. | :04:27. | |
surgeons or the patient's? Hundreds of women are taking legal action is. | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
They want answers as to why they received something which had been | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
directed as not to be used until further investigations were carried | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
out. Gillian and Oliver are working together to support other | :04:42. | :04:42. | |
out. Gillian and Oliver are working suffering as a result of these | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
operations. -- Olive are. Or than 400 are taking legal action against | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
health boards and manufacturers but if the procedure continues that | :04:54. | :04:54. | |
figure is expected to keep going up. So given the fact that the Scottish | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
government wants a stop to the use of mesh implants and legal | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
action is being taken why are surgeons still using them, | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
Lucy? It seems complicated on the face of | :05:08. | :05:19. | |
it and to understand it you need to look back at the history. From the | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
1970s through the 1990s surgeons tended to use what was essentially | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
stitches. This developed into using a person's human tissue to create a | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
sling to fix the bladder. 20 years ago, implants came on the scene, | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
they were seen as a great thing, much more effective and easier to | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
use, they could be done in surgery and it made them cheaper. But we had | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
this intervention by the government in 2014. The health board have taken | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
this as guidance. What we know from the responses that I got is some | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
health boards stopped altogether, they said they would wait until the | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
investigations had been done because while they were seen as a great | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
thing, we had women coming forward with severe complications, but the | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
government cannot actually stop them from using these. They can consult | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
with patients, tell them about safety risks and go through that but | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
in exceptional circumstances, if health boards want to go ahead they | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
can still do so. Thank you very much. | :06:38. | :06:37. | |
More doctors and nurses and more services in the community - | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
just a couple of the government's proposals to transform | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
They're contained in a blue-print for change published today. | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
It's a busy day in this West Lothian surgery. Increasingly busy and under | :06:49. | :07:05. | |
pressure, Doctor George Mackie says there are lots of good things about | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
the way the health service is changing but lots of challenges if | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
it is going to be a success. Personally where I work one of the | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
biggest challenges is recruitment. We've advertised recently for a | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
replacement partner and we had no applicants at all. That is where the | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
situation is now. That's the biggest challenge. Recruitment to enhance | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
security services is a priority, say the government. The NHS is going | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
through unprecedented change and the government want to see more people | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
living healthier longer lives at home but that puts a lot of pressure | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
on the front line and community services. It makes a real difference | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
to the character of the building and how you approach things. This is | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
what it may look like, GP hubs with all sorts of services, pharmacists, | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
Cancer support, all sorts of things can be accessed under one roof. The | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
NHS has always looked after people very well if you became sick. If you | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
became diabetic we would offer you good diabetic management. A more | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
interesting question might be, what could be done better to stop people | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
progressing to diabetes in the first place? The government wants to | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
reduce the number of unnecessary stays in hospital, a 10% drop in | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
delayed discharge. It will push forward with unpopular moves to | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
transfer specialisms to bigger centres. Local hospitals will still | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
have the services that people rely on, some of the more specialist | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
services that people might require once or twice in a lifetime, will be | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
organised on a regional basis, so we are asking and tasking boards to | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
plan these on a regional basis. 40% of the budget is spent on health. | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
There's a lot on stake in getting the future of the NHS right. | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
A heavily redacted report into the killing last year of a boy | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
at an Aberdeen school has been released. | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
The conclusions and recommendations were released in October. | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
Our reporter Rebecca Curran is live at the school | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
where Bailey Gwynne was killed, Rebecca. | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
Remind us of the circumstances of this tragedy. | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
16 year old Bailey Gwynne was stabbed during a fight | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
with a fellow pupil here at Cults Academy | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
His killer, who was also 16, is serving nine years | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
A review conducted by child protection expert Andrew Lowe found | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
Bailey's death was "potentially avoidable if those who knew his | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
killer carried weapons had told a teacher." | :09:51. | :09:51. | |
Mr Lowe made 5 conclusions and 21 recommendations in total | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
But the full report was kept private due to data | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
But today the city council released a heavily redacted version. | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
In fact much of the 67 pages look like this. | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
Well, the section on the background of Bailey and his killer | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
who is described as child A has been fully redacted. | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
All information about previous concerns raised about the killer | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
and a complaint that was made have been withheld. | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
The only apparent criticism is levelled at a city | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
councillor for taking part in a media interview. | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
So why has the report been so heacily redacted, Rebecca? | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
Well, in October when the recommendations and conclusions | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
were released, the city council's chief executive Angela Scott said | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
the full report wasn't being published because it contained | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
a great deal of sensitive, confidential and legally | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
Mr Lowe conducted 43 face to face interviews | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
and over the past weeks each person is understood to have been asked | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
if they are happy to have what they said published. | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
What is now apparent is that most of them said no. | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
Now what's not clear is on what grounds any of those | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
If they were allowed to object only on the basis of legal | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
or data protection grounds, or if they could refuse | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
because they were upset or embarrassed to have | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
Plans have been unveiled to create up to 600 jobs and invest ?120m | :11:25. | :11:33. | |
at the site of the UK's last remaining aluminium | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
It's hoped the site could eventually manufacture alloy wheels for cars. | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
It is the last remaining aluminium smelter in the UK, relying on its | :11:41. | :11:55. | |
own hydropower scheme to produce the massive amounts of electricity | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
needed for the process. A review of its assets by the previous owners | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
led to concerns it could be closed with the loss of 170 jobs. Now with | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
the sale of the smelter the future is not only bright spot could be | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
positively booming. Our plan is not to stop aluminium but make | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
components which are very high value products. The first phase is alloy | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
wheels. That creates 300 jobs and many more indirectly. The First | :12:27. | :12:34. | |
Minister was on hand to take part in a traditional Hindu ceremony to mark | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
the takeover by the company which earlier this year bought the former | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
Tata steel plants. With ?120 million investment to be made, direct jobs | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
Tata steel plants. With ?120 million in the supply chain, it is clearly a | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
massive shot in the arm for the area. It does not just guaranteed | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
the future of the aluminium smelter and the power plants and all the | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
jobs associated with those, it heralds a bright new future for | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
manufacturing given the plans to create a new manufacturing facility | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
here, bringing many more jobs in the process. So this is fantastic. This | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
smelter has been here since 1929 and remains one of the most important | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
industrial employers in the Highlands. A good thing for us and | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
the area. Especially myself, I'm in my fourth year here. It is a lot | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
more positive. The chance of me having a job in the future here is | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
excellent and really positive. Moving into making alloy wheels and | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
car components could triple the workforce here in Lochaber. The | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
ultimate aim is to bring steel-making to the Fort William | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
Plant using recycled steel. That could create even more jobs. | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
The Scottish Football Association has been fined more than 15 thousand | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
pounds by the world governing body Fifa after the national side | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
wore poppies during last month's World Cup qualifier | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
Our reporter Alasdair Lamont is at Hampden Park for us tonight. | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
What's been the reaction there, Alasdair? | :14:06. | :14:14. | |
The decision was not an entirely surprising one but nonetheless the | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
reaction has been one of disappointment. The Scottish FA, | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
along with the English FA, had requested permission to wear the | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
poppies in the match which was denied. Fifa said there was a rule | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
over the banning of wearing political symbols. Players wore | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
poppies regardless of that ruling, there was a display among | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
supporters. The Scottish FA has been discussing the matter with its | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
English counterpart but also the other home nations, all of them have | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
been fined for similar reasons. An appeal is increasingly likely. In | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
terms of the finds, the Conservative MP Maurice Corrie gave us this | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
reaction. Frankly, I am appalled at this position, it is disgraceful | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
they've come to that decision, when you think of the commitment many | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
football teams and players made in the waters, the Heart of Midlothian | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
club who went as an entire team to fight in the Great War and sadly | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
many did not come back, I think it is utterly disgraceful. Certainly | :15:24. | :15:32. | |
some strong feeling over the issue and the English FA are standing | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
their ground, saying that they will appeal. The Scottish FA stood | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
shoulder to shoulder with the English, it would be surprising if | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
they backed down. I would expect an appeal to going. -- go end. | :15:47. | :15:52. | |

The Prime Minister says she will look "very seriously" | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
at proposals put forward by the Scottish Government | :16:24. | :16:25. | |
on Brexit, but has stressed the negotiations to leave the EU | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
Theresa May was speaking ahead of tomorrow's publication | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
of the Scottish government's priorities for Brexit. | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
Our political correspondent David Porter is at Westminster tonight. | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
Jackie, tomorrow as you say the Scottish Government will publish its | :16:38. | :16:48. | |
proposals for Brexit, and crucially it will look at the area of the | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
single market, and the idea that perhaps Scotland could remain part | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
of the single market, while the rest of the UK leaves the European Union. | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
Now that is very important, because a recent study suggested that 80,000 | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
jobs could be lost in Scotland, if Scotland was forced out of the | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
single market in the future. Ahead of the publication of that document | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
today the First Minister Nicola Sturgeon rang the Prime Minister | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
Theresa May and it is likely she outlined in very general terms the | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
Scottish Government will be putting forward tomorrow. Coincidentally in | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
the Commons this afternoon, the Prime Minister was answering | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
questions on all things Brexit, and she was challenged to fully engage | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
with the Scottish Government over the whole issue. The Prime Minister | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
has said she will seriously engage with the Scottish Government, which | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
is to be welcomed. She says she has a respect agenda so will the Prime | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
Minister to meet with the First Minister to incorporate priorities | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
of the Scottish Government in the UK negotiating position? I took a call | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
from the First Minister this morning where I assured her we will oppose | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
seriously other proposals the Scottish Government is bringing | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
forward. I welcome the fact they have been looking at their | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
priorities. We have been encouraging for the devolved administrations to | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
look at their priorities so they can be taken into account in the UK | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
negotiations on leaving the European Union. The Prime Minister says she | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
is keen to hear the ideas of the devolved administrations and they | :18:21. | :18:22. | |
can go forward to something called the joint ministerial committee that | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
will be meeting early again next year. But Jackie tomorrow we will | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
get a far clearer idea of how the Scottish Government sees this | :18:31. | :18:31. | |
process going forward. A look at other stories | :18:32. | :18:33. | |
from across the country... 2016 has been a record year for fish | :18:34. | :18:44. | |
landings in Shetland. More than 357,000 boxes have been brought | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
ashore between the markets. Such high levels have not been seen since | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
1987. Shetland is the second biggest port in the UK for white fish | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
landings after Peterhead. A controversial flood prevention | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
scheme for white sands in Dumfries has been approved by Dumfries and | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
Galloway Council. The project to build an embankment and glass wall | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
along the ribbon if that considerable opposition because of | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
the impact on the Riverview and the loss of car parking. A rogue plug | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
fitted to an Edinburgh bench excluding the members of a golf club | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
which bans women from sitting on it is to be removed by the council. The | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
sign on the Princes Street bench said it was fitted on behalf of the | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
female population of Edinburgh. Muirfield golf club decided against | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
allowing women to become members last summer. More than 17,500 air | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
weapons have been handed into Police Scotland over the last six months as | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
part a nationwide amnesty. Legislation comes into force next | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
week, which requires anyone wanting to keep for an air weapon to apply | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
for a licence. Over 10,000 applications have been made so far. | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
Prestwick airport could have loans totalling ?40 million from the | :20:02. | :20:07. | |

-- bought the struggling business. It is hoped the airport could become | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
the UK's first spaceport launch site and benefit from the new Heathrow | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
runway by becoming a logistics hub. It's been quite a year | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
for Andy Murray. As well as becoming a father | :20:23. | :20:24. | |
for the first time, he's become the world's number one, | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
won Wimbledon for a second time, won a second Olympic gold and become | :20:28. | :20:29. | |
the first person to win the BBC's Sports Personality of | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
the Year for a third time. It's also been a year to remember | :20:33. | :20:34. | |
for Scottish tennis in general. So is there a case to be made | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
for considering Tennis And the BBC Sports Personality | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
of the Year 2016 is Andy Murray. CHEERING | :20:41. | :21:05. | |
Another win for Andy Murray, but he's not our only tennis world | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
Another win for Andy Murray, but beater. Brother Jamie is one half of | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
the top doubles pairing, and Gordon Reid is another one in the | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
wheelchair singles, so should tennis be our national sport? At this club | :21:16. | :21:23. | |
was actual drum's Christmas party, a unanimous if partial view. The | :21:24. | :21:25. | |
National sport Scotland should be tennis. Because we are far more | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
successful at it than any other sport. Yet there is unlikely to be a | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
Big Bash proclaiming tennis the national sport because of a national | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
obsession. I think the criteria for a national sport is the one that | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
garners most interest across every community, and football scores | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
hugely high on that. We know for example that per capita more people | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
go to professional football in Scotland than any of the other | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
European league. A pity our football team is six to seventh in the world | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
rankings, just beneath Bening, but still above Guinea-Bissau. If | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
criteria, bowls would be a criteria. criteria, bowls would be a criteria. | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
-- a contender. Scotland are third in the world rankings. It is a | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
massive sport in this country. We are very successful one the world | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
stage. Could that be a national sport? Yes, it could. And that is | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
from a woman who won gold at the Olympics in another quintessentially | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
Scottish sport. Curling, 13,000 members, and very successful in the | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
world stage. Golf has the strongest historical claim. It has been played | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
here in one form or another for hundreds of years, but there has not | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
been a Scots major winner since 1999. There is one sport at which | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
Scotland alone excels, that's right, Sinn T. -- that is right, shinty. As | :22:57. | :23:07. | |
a national sport you have to play other countries and that is where | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
shinty falls down. We don't have an official national sport and we | :23:14. | :23:15. | |
probably don't need one but at least we have an undisputed national | :23:16. | :23:17. | |
sporting hero. An appeal to restore the fire | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
damaged Mackintosh school of art has been boosted with a 450 | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
thousand pound donation. Eighteen and a half million | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
pounds has now been raised and our Arts correspondent, | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
Pauline McLean has been to see how The Macintosh library ball the brunt | :23:35. | :23:46. | |
of the fire of May 2014, and wildly stone pillars survived, today is the | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
day to remove them and assess the damage. Surprisingly, some bits are | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
OK but other bits are really badly cracked. Some of these stones are | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
about a metre by a meter, so they are massive, like, lumps of stone, | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
so they can be cut down and you can maybe get two or three smaller | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
stones out of it that you could use another parts of the job. But wildly | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
stone can be reused from other parts of the restoration are more | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
challenging. Many of the materials Macintosh used are now no longer | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
available. A good example is the Timbers that by going into the roof | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
behind us. They are Southern yellow pine, which is not indigenous to | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
Scotland, but it was quite prevalent in Scotland when the building was | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
built in the 1900, and we have discovered somewhere in | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
Massachusetts where there is an old mill that has been demolished, which | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
has Timbers of a similar age, similar scale to what we need, and | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
we are going to transfer them over. As the restoration continues onside, | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
the library's contents are being replicated offside. Join is working | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
from previous photos and designs, lamps salvaged from the debris | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
providing templates for the new lights. But it will look a little | :25:00. | :25:01. | |
providing templates for the new different. Those would panels, dark | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
and overtime, will look much more like the original Ron McIntosh | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
created. This will be a dark forest of enlightenment, as Macintosh | :25:13. | :25:14. | |
described it, but it will be different and it will actually be | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
assembly would have looked into it in 1910 but not in 2012. So it will | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
be a shock but I think a really beautiful experience. It is a slow | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
process, though, and one that will take at least another two years to | :25:30. | :25:30. | |
complete. Let's get the weather | :25:31. | :25:32. | |
now from Judith. A very good evening to you, big | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
changes coming our way during the A very good evening to you, big | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
course of this week, but as far as this evening and the night is | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
concerned, it is a predominantly dry picture. Just one or two showers | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
over the Western Isles, clearing skies allowing temperatures to fall | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
away, could be -3 or four through parts of the Highlands and inland, | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
Aberdeenshire. We will see frost, some mist and fog patches, typically | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
around two to three degrees but will start to see wind is picking up | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
along the West Coast of the morning, a sign of things to come. Let's take | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
a look at the pressure chart. First of all, high-pressure moves away, | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
opening the floodgates for Atlantic blows, wet and windy conditions. | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
Behind it, we take our air source all the way from Canada, cold air, | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
westerly wind bringing frequent, blustery showers. Tomorrow morning | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
it starts off dry, bread, some sunshine, cold and frosty as well. | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
For most of us it stays dry for Match of the Day and then the | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
weather front pushes across much of Scotland with winds. Some -- for | :26:38. | :26:48. | |
much of the day. We will see Gales developing across the north-west | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
corner well. During daylight hours, Orkney and Shetland should stay dry. | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
Not much daylight at this time year. For the north-east, dryer, a colder | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
feel as well, cloud lingering towards Eastport coastal areas, | :27:06. | :27:07. | |
particularly down towards the borders with a few spots of rain in | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
the Southern uplands. That rain in the West starts to make inroads | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
across western Scotland during the course of the evening and overnight. | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
Strong winds for West along coastal areas. Come Wednesday morning, | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
frequent blustery showers. They will feel really quite cold on Wednesday | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
with the wind chill. The wintry mix of showers, hail and thunder, the | :27:30. | :27:36. | |
Met office have issued a yellow warning the difficult conditions | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
across the north-west but dry for the south and east for Match of the | :27:41. | :27:42. | |
Day. Now, a reminder of | :27:43. | :27:43. | |
tonight's main news... The Russian ambassador to Turkey, | :27:44. | :27:45. | |
