Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight on your national news: The | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
Sun newspaper fights back. The newspaper denies that accessed | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
the medical records of Gordon Brown's son. It says this man gave | :00:26. | :00:34. | |
them the story. We felt it was too important. They had to know this | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
had happened. In the last hour, the former Prime Minister has launched | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
an astonishing attack on news International, accusing them of an | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
-- criminal wrongdoing on an international scale. | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
Cleared of blame for the mould of Kintyre helicopter crash. -- the | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
Mull of Kintyre. 17 years after the tragedy which killed 29 men, the | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
Government says sorry to the families of the pilots. | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
Guilty. The woman who helped her lover hide his wife's body under | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
the floorboards of the family home. And David will be here with the | :01:11. | :01:18. | |
sport. Could Scotland's cricket players attain the lines of Sri | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
Lanka? I will tell you later. Within the past hour, Gordon Brown | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
has launched a blistering attack on news International in the house of | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
Commons. He alleged that the organisation was guilty of law- | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
breaking on in done at -- on an industrial sell. This came as the | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
Sun newspaper hack back. The Sun newspaper released a video of a | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
father of a child with cystic fibrosis who say it was their | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
source. Gordon Brown in the Commons tonight | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
turned his guns again on news International, owners of the Sun | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
newspaper. He gave fuel -- full vent to his wrath. News | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
International descended from the gutter to the sewers. The tragedy, | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
Mr Speaker, is that the let the rats side of the Suez. Because of | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
what happened to my children whose privacy at all times I have tried | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
to protect, I have been sent, I've been offered and thrust upon me, | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
what is now for the police to examine a great deal of evidence | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
that is relevant to this debate. This morning, a screaming headline, | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
half the front page. Today's paper hitting Bacchic Gordon Brown. The | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
paper's is enraged with his claims that it had breached his younger | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
son's privacy by revealing in 2006 that he has cystic fibrosis. The | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
Sun newspaper denies attacked medical records. Their source, they | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
say another father with a son with cystic fibrosis. The paper | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
protecting his identity. It was sad to hear the news that his son had | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
cystic fibrosis. A man of that calibre are can make a few phone | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
calls and make things happen. I felt this was too important for up | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
people with cystic fibrosis around the country. They had to know that | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
this had happened. The Sun newspaper also claimed that story | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
about Fraser Brown helped for donations with children with the | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
condition. The cystic fibrosis Trust has issued the statement. The | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
release of any medical information to the media or anyone else is a | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
decision for patients or in the case of children their parents. The | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
cystic fibrosis Trust does not condone the release of publication | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
of such information without express permission regardless of their | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
motivation. It was still smiles between the | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
Browns and news International after the Sun's story. No one is smiling | :04:05. | :04:12. | |
now. Watching that debate was our | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
correspondent David Porter. Gordon Brown make the most of his moment? | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
He spoke in the Commons for something like 30 minutes. He does | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
not speak in the Commons very often since he ceased to be Prime | :04:28. | :04:35. | |
Minister in May last year. He gave a very powerful speech and a | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
stinging attack on news International, accusing them of | :04:39. | :04:46. | |
getting into practices they should be accused of law-breaking on under | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
a -- on an industrial scale. He said they push themselves as a | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
group that was in support of law abiding citizens. At the end of the | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
day they were on the side of people who were breaking the law rather | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
than going with the law that they should be. He said he would be very | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
happy to give any evidence to the inquiry that David Cameron is | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
setting up. Perhaps ominously he also said that he thought they were | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
far more victims who would be named in this will Saga. | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
17 years after an RAF Chernick helicopter crashed on Mull of | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
Kintyre killing all 29 people on board, the two pilots have been | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
cleared of blame. A review has overturned an earlier inquiry which | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
accuse them of gross negligence. Liam Fox apologise to the two men's | :05:36. | :05:44. | |
families. It has been a long time coming but | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
justice for two families finally arrive this afternoon. The | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
culmination of a long fought campaign to clear two well-regarded | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
pilots of blame and gross negligence. Today an apology from | :05:57. | :06:05. | |
the top followed --. I have written to the two families to express the | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
MoD's apology for the distress that was caused to them by the findings | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
of negligence. I also wish to express that apology publicly in | :06:14. | :06:22. | |
the house today. It is first class. It is extraordinarily good. They | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
were among 29 people who were killed in 20th June -- 1994 when | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
their helicopter crashed into this hillside. Also on board were 25 | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
senior intelligence experts. Two RAF air marshals disagreed, | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
accusing the pilots. After a nine- month inquiry, a retired judge | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
sitting with a panel of senior politicians has concluded that | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
decision was wrong based on faulty legal advice. This is the report. | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
It is less than 100 pages long and it has taken 16 years but it clears | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
the two Highlands of blame for gross negligence. It accuses the | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
MoD of intransigence, for failing to rectify this much sooner. | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
Absolutely delighted. I was not expecting to get a much today to be | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
honest. I just understood we would get an idea of what the report said | :07:19. | :07:27. | |
and that was it. To get the fact that Liam Fox is supporting the | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
recommendations and that they are making an apology is really much | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
appreciated by both families. men's names have now been cleared. | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
Their reputations restored. What caused the cash will never be known. | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
But for the families, at last justice has been done. | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
The number of people out of work in Scotland has fallen by 11,000 in | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
the three months to May according to official figures. The number of | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance was over 140,000, a rise | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
of 1,500 on the previous month. The First Minister welcomed the fall | :08:06. | :08:13. | |
but said -- the STUC said many of the jobs are part-time and | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
temporary. Still to come before seven: Join me | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
to find out how this huge machine could tell Scotland win the race to | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
harness the power of the world's oceans. | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
In sport, it comes from the Grange in Edinburgh. Scollan's cricketers | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
will try and tame the lines of Strang cut. We will be hearing from | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
the Scots a golfer who says he has got what it takes to become the | :08:40. | :08:48. | |
next Open champion. A woman has been convicted of | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
helping her lover cover up the murder of his wife because she was | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
besotted with him. The High Court in Edinburgh heard that 57-year-old | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
Rita Heyster helped Harry Jarvis dumpers invalid's -- wife's body. | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
It heard that during their affair, he had persuaded her to live in the | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
garden shed. Jarvis murdered his wife and then | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
he did something much worse. He also betrayed his own children over | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
her death, subjected them to two agonising High Court trials and all | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
to save his own skin. They emerge from court today having seen his | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
girlfriend found guilty of helping their dad dispose of their mother's | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
remains. It is bad enough losing one parent but losing two, after | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
everything that has been said in court justice has been done as far | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
as I'm concerned. At the family home, Harry Jarvis told his | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
children their mother had moved to Dundee. An investigation by | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
forensic officers revealed the true is much closer to home. This is the | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
door to the space beneath the floor and where Harry Jarvis hit his | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
wife's body, discarded next to an unwanted TV set. Rita Heyster, cha | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
was's girlfriend at the time was living here in a shed in their | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
garden. But while those actions seem dreadful enough, it was | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
Jarvis's wised which caused the greatest harm to his children. Of a | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
two trials in the High Court in Edinburgh and with interviews with | :10:25. | :10:33. | |
the police, he conjured up many lies. But while he was lying in | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
public, private letters to Rita Heyster demonstrated murderous | :10:37. | :10:44. | |
intent. One read, drugs are doing job. Just took longer than I | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
thought but going faster now. See you in paradise soon. He is a cold | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
and calculating and cold individual. He thought he was going to get away | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
with his murder. He has pleaded his innocence and came up with an | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
excuse and the reason as to how his wife had died. Thankfully the jury | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
saw through his lies and his deceit and found him guilty of murder. | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
That is what he did. Despite weeks of evidence of a two files, the | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
children now realise they may never find out what happened to the | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
mother. Their father explained her death in three ways. Took Mac had | :11:24. | :11:34. | |
been of them have sexual so activities gone wrong. -- two. | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
An inquest into the death of a lame dog handler in Afghanistan has | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
ruled he was unlawfully killed. The inquest heard that Lance Corporal | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
Liam Tasker from Kirkcaldy were shot by insurgents. His stock is | :11:46. | :11:56. | |
Springer spaniel called Theo died of the seizure afterwards. | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
Scottish fishing leaders have warned that proposals for reform of | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
the common fisheries policy could lead to a loss of more than 1000 | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
jobs in the industry and the scrapping of 400 votes. The | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
European Commission says it wants to end overfishing and the dumping | :12:12. | :12:19. | |
efficiency forcing skippers to land all their catch. | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
This man regards himself as one of the thousands of victims of a | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
discredited policy. He is now a driving instructor and Aberdeen. | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
Before that he was the skipper. His business takes its name from his | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
old vote. He hated the policy that changed his life. It was a total | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
disaster. The impact it had was then a major business impossible to | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
run. Because of the savage cuts and caught up. It was impossible to | :12:49. | :12:58. | |
carry on with the business legally and still break-even. The common | :12:58. | :13:08. | |
:13:08. | :13:10. | ||
fisheries Prof slope -- Common Fisheries Policy has blamed. Today | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
the European Commission warned that some stocks could banish without | :13:13. | :13:23. | |
:13:23. | :13:24. | ||
urgent action. -- vanish. Perhaps 10 years ago to close arise. We | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
cannot do it any more because if we do ate, I would like to be clear | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
about it, our children will see fish not in their plates but only | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
in pictures. If the proposals are approved, | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
there is to be more local management of stocks and a total | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
ban on discards. Fishing leaders are deeply concerned. To quote from | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
the commission's own impact assessment, a 20% downturn is the | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
worst case Nadya. If you apply the mass, that is about 400 votes. And | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
a possibility of 1000 jobs in the sector. It is not so long ago that | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
harbours such as Peter Head were packed with votes. Today it is a | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
very different story. The Scottish Government says a report still have | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
a future but the new reforms do not go far enough and conservation | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
Some of the other stories across Scotland this Wednesday... | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
A man who saw two girls plunge to their deaths from the Erskine | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
Bridge has told a Fatal Accident Inquiry how they fell backwards arm | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
in arm like "divers going off a boat". Gary Cronin, a Ministry of | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
Defence firefighter, was driving across the Erskine Bridge when 14- | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
year-old Georgia Lowe and 15-year- old Neve Lafferty fell from the | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
bridge in October 2009. Both were residents at the Good Shepherd care | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
centre in Renfrewshire. The Hearts midfielder Ian Black is | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
to stand trial for possession of cocaine. The 26-year-old's | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
solicitor told Edinburgh sheriff court that his client intended to | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
plead not guilty to the charge. It's alleged that Mr Black was | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
found to be in possession of the drug at a city nightclub in May | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
this year. Police investigating the murder of | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
a teenage girl 25 years ago say they have had a "very encouraging" | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
response to a TV appeal for information. Elaine Doyle was | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
killed in Greenock in June 1986. Her body was found the next day in | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
a lane yards from her home. Police said a reconstruction of her last | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
movements, broadcast on the BBC's Crimewatch programme last night had | :15:22. | :15:31. | |
generated more than 40 calls. It's been hailed as a major step | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
forward for Scotland's renewable energy industry. It's a giant new | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
wave energy device, known as the Oyster 800, and it was unveiled | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
earlier today at a fabrication yard at Methil in Fife. Here's our | :15:42. | :15:52. | |
:15:52. | :15:53. | ||
Environment Correspondent. Tate Gaelic at the future of | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
Scotland's wave energy industry. -- take a look at the future. They say | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
it will be big. Very big. This huge device is bigger, stronger and more | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
efficient than its predecessor. It is seen as a leader in the | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
international race to harness the power of Scotland's seas and the | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
seas right round the world. The first Oyster 800 was tested in the | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
stormy seas off Orkney. Work is already under way there for the | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
installation of its big brother, capable of generating 250% more | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
power at one-third of the cost. are taking a major step forward | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
demonstrating with this machine that you can produce continuous | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
power in the ocean. This is a very important step for Marine Power and | :16:39. | :16:46. | |
this industry. The device was built here in Fife and outside Stornoway. | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
Industry experts concede they face daunting challenges, but believe | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
exciting times lie ahead. Hold is the by Twenty20, this industry will | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
be a major supplier of energy in Scotland. Critics argue it could be | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
decades before that happens, but the first Minister, who unveiled | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
the device, says Scotland is already at the top of the league. | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
If a football team would be doing as well as a renewable energy | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
industry, they would be in the top three in the world! But renewable | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
energy, particularly Marine Energy, Scotland rules the waves. Capturing | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
the power of Scotland's stormy seas is not going to be easy, but the | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
prizes on the horizon. It's not often the weather plays | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
ball with our sporting intentions, but David's been enjoying a fine | :17:36. | :17:46. | |
:17:46. | :17:48. | ||
day at Edinburgh's Grange. I have indeed. I am here where | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
Scotland's cricketers were playing Sri Lanka - the World cub winners - | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
in the Tri Nations series. A win for Scotland yesterday over Ireland | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
meant that if the Scottish could beat the Sri Lankans today, they | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
would win the series. Alas, it did not work out as planned. The | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
Scottish were take -- chasing a total of 284, but they were | :18:11. | :18:20. | |
skittled out by a world-class sure Lankan team for just 101 runs. Even | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
that could not spoil what turned out to be a tremendous day in the | :18:24. | :18:34. | |
:18:34. | :18:35. | ||
sun for all the spectators here. They came from near and far, at sea | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
dumping up hard cash to see one of the world's biggest teams. -- | :18:39. | :18:49. | |
:18:49. | :18:52. | ||
stumping up hard cash. The view from here is not too bad, either! | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
So, how come you're out here watching? We could not get in. It | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
was sold out. But you get a beautiful view from here. Square on. | :19:02. | :19:11. | |
Sunshine out. Yes. I came all the way from Glasgow to Edinburgh. | :19:11. | :19:20. | |
is not far! Yes, but I like the game. For there is no rivalry and | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
no sectarianism. Everybody is mingling and everybody is relaxed | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
and just here for the love of the game. There are a couple of | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
interesting spectators here. Here is the mother and father of Richard | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
Derrington - the hero of the are for Scotland yesterday. How is he | :19:37. | :19:43. | |
going to do today? He will probably be expecting the same and we will | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
hope for the same ourselves. gentle jury cricket export. | :19:48. | :19:56. | |
Definitely not. Ritchie has just gone out. He played brilliantly | :19:56. | :20:03. | |
yesterday. Out for a duck? I think he was today, yes. Scotland did not | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
to prevent the today, but the future of the game in this country | :20:06. | :20:16. | |
:20:16. | :20:19. | ||
is looking brighter. How is that?! I am joined by the | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
Scotland coach. Where did it all go wrong? You were only playing the | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
second best team in the world! was a tough day for us today. We | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
did well on the field. We restricted them to 280, of which we | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
were happy about. But they came out really hard. The first five or 10 | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
overs for a really difficult. suppose yesterday's win over | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
Ireland was the highlight of the series. Was that which you were | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
hoping for, going into the series? That when yesterday was fantastic. | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
The Irish are ranked tenth in the world at the moment and it was an | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
important win for us. To Chasetown 320 with nine balls to spare was a | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
fantastic effort. We turned up today to cause an upset. We are | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
disappointed at the way it went. But over all, be can take a lot of | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
positives from it. Lessons for the future? We have to play more of big | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
games of cricket against top teams like this. The more we play, the | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
more we can adapt and react to what is happening in the game. Thank you. | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
Commiserations today. Golf now and the Open championship | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
gets under way at Royal St George's tomorrow, with six Scots hoping to | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
lift the famous Claret Jug. Previous winners include Sandy Lyle | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
and Paul Lawrie. Our reporter has been meeting another Scot who's | :21:38. | :21:48. | |
:21:48. | :21:53. | ||
hoping to emulate his countrymen. Some of the most recognisable faces | :21:53. | :22:02. | |
in golf have made their annual trip to this course. And so has this man. | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
I am not really sure if most of them know who I am! But more people | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
than ever know the name after he claimed the last open spot at | :22:12. | :22:19. | |
Castle Stuart. Has he done it? It looks good. Oh, well done! I did | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
not know that it would get me in 100%, but if I missed it, I would | :22:23. | :22:31. | |
not be here. Once I got in and they told me, it was a great feeling. | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
The 27-year-old is in his rookie year on the European Tour, but has | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
already risen around 300 places in the world rankings. He is one of | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
six men flying the flag for Scotland in Kent. It has been an | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
excellent season so far for the Glaswegian, but high Kenny to here | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
against the best in the business? want to win. You have to shoot for | :22:53. | :22:59. | |
the top. Obviously there's a lot of great golfers here. If I could be | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
in contention on Sunday, but would be great. If he can tame the wind | :23:05. | :23:12. | |
as he has done the Greens, who could do very well indeed. | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
Let's hope he does. So the cricket might be over, but the golf is just | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
beginning. Over the past few days, we've been | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
reporting on the tall ships which left Greenock yesterday and will | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
now sail around the west coast of Scotland before arriving in | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
Shetland next week. But what is life on board the ships like? Our | :23:31. | :23:41. | |
:23:41. | :23:44. | ||
reporter joined the crew of the Wylde Swan to find out. | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
Leaving Greenock with 22 trainees - this Dutch registered ship is | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
reassured by the sight of crowds waving goodbye from the quayside. | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
And they gathered there in their thousands. For these young sailors, | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
a learning experience lies ahead. For some, that requires a strong | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
head for heights, as the first cricket is sent to climb the | :24:10. | :24:16. | |
rigging to unfurled a sale. It is terrifying. You have nowhere to put | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
your hands. You just standing there on this little rope that is moving. | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
You do not feel like you're attached to anything. You set the | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
seal by hoisting on a halyard... This lady is not a race but the | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
trainees are taught about sailing as if it was. That often involves | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
hard work in conditions more challenging than this, but there | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
are up for it. It is a fantastic experience. Just have a really good | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
time and need some new people. There are people from different | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
countries year, which is really interesting. The for those running | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
the show, there was also a more serious message. For what we're | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
trying to do is provide them the opportunity to discover themselves | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
as much as anything else, to realise that there are chances in | :25:05. | :25:11. | |
life which need to be faced and there is no better way of providing | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
that opportunity than putting them in a hostile environment which is | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
perceived. Many of these young trainees and the 200 or so who are | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
on a full suite of ships have not sailed before. For them, it is | :25:26. | :25:35. | |
about encouraging them to swap the Not such a bad week weatherwise for | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
the ships. Let's get the latest forecast from Christopher. | :25:41. | :25:46. | |

fairly wet. Some of this frame will be heavy and temperatures will be | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
15 degrees at best. A similar story through the weekend to Sunday. A | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
lot of rain and cloud. A plea that low-pressure will move away so an | :27:27. | :27:34. | |
improving picture. Tonight is the programme for you if this interests | :27:34. | :27:41. | |

scrapped. The two pilots blamed when an RAF | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
Chinook helicopter crashed on the Mull of Kintyre in 1994, killing | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
all 29 people on board, have been cleared. A review has overturned | :28:08. | :28:11. | |
the findings of an earlier RAF inquiry which found them guilty of | :28:11. | :28:13. | |
gross negligence. Today the Defence secretary Liam Fox apologised to | :28:13. | :28:16. | |
the two men's families for the distress caused by the original | :28:16. | :28:18. | |
findings. A woman has been convicted of | :28:18. | :28:21. | |

besotted with him. The High Court in Edinburgh heard that 57 year old | :28:24. | :28:27. | |
