Two United Airlines pilots have been arrested at Glasgow Airport

:00:09.:00:12.

on suspicion of being over the alcohol limit.

:00:13.:00:15.

The BBC understands they were breathalysed on the flight

:00:16.:00:17.

deck as passengers began to board a US-bound plane.

:00:18.:00:20.

The two pilots are men aged 35 and 45 years old.

:00:21.:00:26.

They were stopped here at Glasgow Airport

:00:27.:00:27.

They were on a United Airlines flight to New York.

:00:28.:00:32.

They have been arrested for allegedly being over

:00:33.:00:34.

Passengers this lunchtime raised various concerns.

:00:35.:00:54.

You trust that the people are going to look after

:00:55.:00:56.

Well, it is worrying if they are having a drink, pilots.

:00:57.:01:01.

You are depending on them, aren't you, for your safety?

:01:02.:01:03.

Definitely not good, I would not want to be

:01:04.:01:05.

But alcohol limits are stricter on drivers than pilots. These are the

:01:06.:01:29.

legal limits. Last month, two Air Transat pilots were detained at

:01:30.:01:32.

Glasgow airport as they prepared for a flight to Canada over allegations

:01:33.:01:37.

that they were wrong. This latest flight had 141 passengers on board.

:01:38.:01:42.

They were delayed by over ten hours as a replacement crew was found. As

:01:43.:01:46.

for the two pilots, they remain in police custody and are due to appear

:01:47.:01:48.

at Paisley Sheriff Court tomorrow. The last remaining BHS store

:01:49.:01:55.

in Scotland closed its doors More than 50 staff were employed

:01:56.:01:57.

at the St Enoch Shopping Centre branch in Glasgow when the high

:01:58.:02:01.

street chain went into 15 other BHS stores in Scotland

:02:02.:02:04.

have already closed. This branch in Glasgow employed more

:02:05.:02:15.

than 50 staff at the time of the store chain's collapse. It was a sad

:02:16.:02:19.

end for the beauty of, staff and customers. Staff were scathing of

:02:20.:02:25.

top management. We are worried about rent and mortgages and he is sitting

:02:26.:02:29.

there happily and it is not fair. He has ruined all of us. Everyone is

:02:30.:02:34.

very sad. It is horrible for people who have been there for years and

:02:35.:02:37.

would have been there their retirement and know they cannot do

:02:38.:02:42.

that. Its two most recent orders were singled out for blame by a keto

:02:43.:02:47.

group of MPs. Attempt to find a buyer were unsuccessful and BHS was

:02:48.:02:56.

wound up in June. On a personal level, really sad for the staff who

:02:57.:02:59.

have given years of service to BHS and for its loyal customers it is

:03:00.:03:04.

sad to see a major feature of our retail landscape no longer here. We

:03:05.:03:10.

are robust retail city and we think we can make a real difference over

:03:11.:03:15.

the next few years. The loss of 11,000 UK jobs, 520 of those in

:03:16.:03:23.

Scotland. The end of an era but the BHS story is far from closed.

:03:24.:03:31.

An 84-year-old woman has died after being recovered from the sea

A man in his 20s is being treated for a gunshot wound to the leg

:03:49.:03:53.

following the shooting in Cables Wynd late on Friday night.

:03:54.:03:56.

He's said to be in a stable condition.

A series of summits have been planned to look at ways to boost

:03:58.:04:01.

the rural economy in Scotland and consider how best to protect

interests and relations with the EU following the Brexit vote.

The leader of the Scottish Conservatives is urging the SNP

to abandon plans for a fresh campaign for independence before

:04:25.:04:27.

Ruth Davidson said the Scottish Government should put stability

:04:28.:04:29.

first and accused the First Minister of going back on a promise

:04:30.:04:32.

to wait until the majority favours independence.

:04:33.:04:34.

In response, an SNP spokesman said the Scottish Conservatives should

:04:35.:04:38.

not lecture anybody about stability, given the confusion which has

:04:39.:04:40.

followed the Brexit vote and the potential economic

:04:41.:04:42.
