That's Newsnight, starting over on BBC Two.

Here, on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.

Scottish exports are up across the board -

in the UK, to the EU and other international markets.

Scottish Government figures show that sales from Scotland to the rest

of the UK are four times as big as those to the EU.

Here's our business and economy editor, Douglas Fraser.

This factory has just hit four-figure sales

Trade winds bring orders from all over the world.

Most used to go to UK customers, but now most customers are foreign.

There is a lot of need in Britain and Europe but we also sell turbines

If the US is building walls around it, export could get more difficult.

There is a lack of clarity, but when things change, there are also new

opportunities. The increase in wind power is one

of the reasons why Scotland The total increase in sales

in 2015 was around 4%. Of that, ?50 billion

was sold to the rest of the United Kingdom,

and beyond, the rest of the world, ?29 billion, and within that,

?12 billion sold to the rest Viewed from Holyrood,

ministers said the figures prove that Scotland must maintain free

access to the single market. We appreciate the extent

to which our nearest neighbour is very important but that does not

mean we should not have an eye on the potential we can have

for our economy with the rest of the EU and the worst thing to do

would be to jeopardise Viewed from Westminster, ministers

say Scottish business and jobs are much more reliant on British

markets. Four times as many exports go

to the rest of the United Kingdom than go to the EU, but of course

the EU is important. Let's focus on our partners

and friends in the rest of the UK because that is where the really

significant impact on our economy is coming and we should

not be doing anything, Most sales to the rest of Britain

are services rather than goods. The biggest export figure

is whiskey, showing it is the biggest net contributor

to Britain's trade position. The biggest export market

remains the United States. We are looking for a trade deal

to improve the trade All the more important there is a

good trade deal. Theresa May visits the White House

on Friday and talks trade with President Donald Trump,

not a man with a liking A budget debate at Holyrood has

ended in stalemate after MSPs were unable to agree tax

and spending plans. Opposition parties set

out their price for backing the Scottish government's plan,

but none of the motions before Here's our political

correspondent, Andrew Kerr. A state-of-the-art dummy

for training medical staff, as the First Minister announced

extra funding to support The Scottish Government is sweating

it out in their budget as they cast Labour said the same fate awaits

local services and have called Labour are not behaving

in a responsible way. They are being destructive and have

not actually brought forward any This ?327 million cut in this year's

budget will mean more jobs going and even greater pressure

on staff and services that They want a penny on the basic rate

of income tax but the finance sector warned what would happen

if the budget was not supported. It puts all of our public services

at risk, crucial public spending, that pays for our teachers

and doctors and nurses, and local government employees

and emergency services. The Greens and the Conservatives set

out their opposing positions on tax. What it delivers is a situation

where Scotland becomes the most Either on the right or on the

thresholds. There is a wide range of ways

in which the Scottish Government And the Liberal Democrat leader said

don't expect him to roll over and support it -

everyone had to compromise or else. Those who have not lifted

their shovels and made an attempt to reach an agreement on this budget

will bear the responsibility When it came to the vote,

MSPs were not able to agree. So it is budget stalemate here at

Holyrood but the first crucial vote is a week tomorrow, and by then

ministers will have had to have found some support.

Details of a collision involving a US and a Soviet vessel 40 years

ago off the west coast of Scotland have emerged in a top

secret CIA memo which has just been declassified.

Antinuclear protesters protesting against the presence

During the Cold War Russian and US subs engaged in a high-stakes game

of cat and mouse. Details of one serious

encounter have come to light. A top-secret memo sent

to the Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in 1974,

which has just been declassified by the CIA, revealed a crash

between a US and Russian submarine, What we know from the memo is that

when this incident took place, the US ballistic missile submarine

James Madison was leaving its base here at Holy Loch to head

out to sea on patrol. Lying in wait near the mouth

of the port, a Soviet submarine hoping to follow it,

and it was at that point when the two collided and they both

surfaced before the Soviet submarine then once again submerged,

and that, as far as we know, It's thought the James Madison

suffered minor damage, but the issue experts are now

pondering is, how much It would have been a diplomatic

incident, had that submarine not been so deep into our home waters

that it was an embarrassment really, to the American and British forces,

that they can get that close in. The US continued its presence

at the base until the Cold War ended in the early '90s,

and who knows how many more stories will emerge from one

of the most fascinating periods Football, and Celtic equalled

the Lisbon Lions' record run of 26 unbeaten domestic games with a 1-0

win over St Johnstone to move 22 Elsewhere, Hearts beat Raith Rovers

4-2 but only after extra time in their Scottish Cup fourth-round

replay at Tynecastle. Hearts now play city rivals and cup

holders Hibernian in the next Well, let's get the

weather from Judith. Good evening. It wasn't too bad

today, we saw the sunshine breaking through and here is a stunning

picture sent in these dramatic skies. Tonight it is mainly dry,

fairly cloudy, some clear spells at times, windy in coastal areas and

cold with a frost developing in parts of southern Scotland,

temperatures are already falling here. Tomorrow morning starts off

with a cold frost in the South, you can see temperatures not too far off

the freezing mark in the Central lowlands. The further north you go

the higher the temperatures will be. Still quite brisk winds in the

Northern Isles. Through the day we will see brighter and sunnier spells

developing across Northern Scotland with south-easterly wind, that is

where you will see the best sunshine, generally bright this

elsewhere although along the coast we hold onto the south-easterly wind

and it will be significantly colder across the UK. Northern Ireland sees

a lot of close, a frosty start across much of England but the fog

lifts leaving leaden skies and feeling cold. The best chance of

sunshine will be along the south coast, and inland parts of Scotland

will struggle to two were three degrees, elsewhere around five

Celsius, 74 the Northern Isles. A widespread frost forming tomorrow

night, a dry picture, winds easing but still quite breezy in coastal

areas. They are between low and high pressure but hold on to dry

conditions on Friday. The potential for a bit patchy rain into the

south-west later in the day, maybe not quite as cold and more in the

way of cloud. Our next update is during Breakfast

at 6:25am tomorrow. But from everyone on the late

team - goodnight. Timeline is the new

current affairs show for you.
