we are back with the late news at 11.00pm. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Now on BBC One its time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
The former First Minister Alex Salmond has said a second | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
independence referendum can be won, even though polls currently | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
indicate most voters want to stay in the Union. | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
He was speaking as the Scottish Government gets ready to set | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
out its plan for Scotland's future relationship with | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
Nicola Sturgeon has been weighing up Scotland's option since the UK voted | :00:24. | :00:40. | |
to leave the EU. On Tuesday she will set out her Brexit plan. At its | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
heart, the aim of keeping Scotland and the European single market. The | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
First Minister says her preferred option is for Scotland to stay in | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
the EU as an independent country. The poll is currently indicate most | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
Scots voters do not want that. Alex Salmond says that does not matter. | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
When I embarked on this process support for independence was 28%. | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
After two years, 2012, we ended up at 45%. I don't think she would have | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
any compunction or killing -- compunction on calling an | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
independence referendum, what matters is the arguments. Some say | :01:22. | :01:30. | |
that salmon's opinions have cause more confusion. The SNP are all over | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
the place on this. Two weeks ago they said the long-awaited stay in | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
the single market was to be a member state of the EU and the UK voted to | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
leave.EU. Nicola Sturgeon says her Brexit plan will set out the full | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
range of options but has plans for a possible second independence | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
referendum. The mother of murdered | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
schoolgirl Paige Doherty has described her killer's | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
forthcoming appeal as "cruel". Speaking in the Sunday Mail, | :02:02. | :02:02. | |
Pamela Munro revealed she'd come face-to-face with John Leathem | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
during the search to find the 15 year old and said | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
he was emotionless. He killed Paige at his shop | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
in Clydebank in March His appeal is due to | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
be heard on Friday. Police have named a woman that was | :02:12. | :02:28. | |
killed in a car crash in Fife. She was pronounced dead this morning. | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
Scotland is a country that needs people to come | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
and live here, according to the Scottish Government. | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
At an event in Glasgow to celebrate the UN's international migrants day, | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
the Minister for International Development has said the | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
UK Government's net target isn't particularly helpful. | :02:42. | :02:42. | |
Prime Minister Theresa May has said she's still committed to reducing | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
net migration to "sustainable" levels. | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
The net target on migration, we don't think it's helpful for | :02:53. | :03:01. | |
Scotland. Scotland is a country that needs people from other countries to | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
come and live here. Our population has been flat-lining or declining | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
for most of the last 50 years, so we are in a position where if we are | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
going to grow our workforce and can in 80s and population we cannot do | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
that without people coming from elsewhere. | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
It's ten years since the collapse of the Farepak savings scheme ruined | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
But legal experts are warning that nothing has changed since then. | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
The Law Commission's sent a report to the UK government, | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
with an official response due in the next month. | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
Our Westminster correspondent, David Porter, reports. | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Memories of Christmas past. I was a member for ten years with Farepak. | :03:37. | :03:48. | |
For this woman, Christmas shopping in West Kilbride has its challenges, | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
but nothing like a decade ago. Both were victims of the collapse of | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
Farepak. Jean was an employee of Farepak herself and she had to tell | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
family and friends they had lost their savings. I couldn't get hold | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
of people and I was worried they would read in the papers before I | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
got a chance to tell them. It was horrible having to say to people | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
this money has gone. The idea was simple, people would save all year | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
to spread the cost of Christmas. It is estimated that 30,000 Scots | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
suffered when the company went bust. In 2006 a chance fired -- in 2006 it | :04:28. | :04:36. | |
transpired that Farepak had been using customers' money to pay back | :04:37. | :04:45. | |
loans to banks. After a public and political outcry, a bungee cord was | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
brought in for the industry, but legal and accounting experts warned | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
that the same thing could happen again. They want companies like | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
Farepak to be regulated in the same way as banks. If you say that the | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
bank you have a lot of protection and you have numbered a savings | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
scheme like this. The UK Government is now considering the | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
recommendations, but as minds turn to the festive season, everyone is | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
agreed that there should not be another Farepak. | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
Andy Murray's the hot favourite to win the BBC Sports Personality | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
He'd be the first ever three-time winner, having scooped the prize | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
This year he became world number one tennis player for the first time, | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
won a second Wimbledon men's championship and retained his | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
The Sports Personality of the Year programme starts on BBC1 at 6.40pm. | :05:32. | :05:48. | |
Let's get the weather prospects for this evening | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
Good evening. Dry and cloudy conditions tonight. I will be clear | :05:51. | :06:03. | |
spells across eastern Scotland, so perhaps a tussle for each. -- | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
perhaps a touch of frost. There will be followed across central and | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
southern England, so if you are flying tomorrow morning it could be | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
delayed. A mild night and turning wet across the west of the country | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
by tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning the temperature will be 7-9 | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
degrees. A bit murky in some areas and patchy outbreaks of rain. It | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
will be drier in the East but cloudy. Through the day the wet | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
weather will edges way eastwards, fizzling and fading away. Dry and | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
cloudy tomorrow with occasional rain. Some sunshine for Northern | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
Ireland. For most of England and Wales it is cloudy but dry. | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
Temperatures are mild for the time of year. If we look at | :06:59. | :07:07. | |
mid-afternoon, temperature wise 9-10 degrees at bright in the West, | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
staying cloudy and murky elsewhere. Cold overnight with frost, so a cold | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
start to Tuesday but sunny. Rainbow then arrive from the West. That is | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
the forecast. -- rain will then arrive. | :07:25. | :07:25. | |
Until then, from everyone on the team here in Glasgow, enjoy | :07:26. | :07:32. |
