Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight on your national news: | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
The first major snow of the winter causes travel disruption and closes | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
schools across the country. Also in the programme tonight: | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
Settling in to their new home at Edinburgh zoo - but the pandas are | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
still a little jetlagged. The two Scots artists who are in | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
the running for the controversial Turner Prize presented tonight. | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
And a year after he took over, Aberdeen are back at the bottom of | :00:36. | :00:45. | |
the league. But Craig Brown tells Scotland got its first real taste | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
of winter disruption today as snow brought chaos to parts of the | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
country. Drivers were stuck for more than three hours on the M74 | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
when a lorry jackknifed. In Lanarkshire, some schools and | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
nurseries were closed, and there were problems on the A9 in the | :00:59. | :01:09. | |
:01:09. | :01:09. | ||
Highlands and in Perth and Kinross. Steven Godden reports. Up early | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
December and people are once again reaching for their shovels. The | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
Scottish winter has impeccable timing. In South Lanark Show, the | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
snow-covered primary-school was one of 26 quotas across the country. | :01:25. | :01:33. | |
Across the roads as well there was destruction. Perhaps I saw | :01:33. | :01:41. | |
something. It took three hours to get traffic on their M74 moving | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
after a lorry jack-knifed. On surrounding roads, up more problems. | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
There is a fallen tree. The weight of the snow has brought it down. I | :01:51. | :02:00. | |
had to take a four mile detour. a traffic control centre, at the | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
transport minister watched closely. Memories of last year's chaos | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
enough to ensure quick, high- profile responses at the first hint | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
of trouble. Last night we had 130 gritters out and snowploughs as | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
well. Sometimes it took treatments on trunk roads. Also going out this | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
morning. A lot of work went in to making trunk roads remained open. | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
It has made life difficult for some but the first significant snowfall | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
of the year is not on the same scale as 12 months ago. Winter is a | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
long season and with more wintry weather forecast, the advice is to | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
be prepared. At this Glasgow Garden Centre, signs that message is | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
getting through. Snow shovels have been an our top 10 since September. | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
People have been prepared. With icy temperatures set to reinforce the | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
opening salvo of snow, practical necessity will help keeping these | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
festive tills ringing. A teenager who died in Easter Ross | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
at the weekend may have accidentally stabbed himself as he | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
tried to cut off an electronic tag with a knife. Nickolas Bowes was at | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
a party near his home in the town of Alness when the emergency | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
services were called but paramedics couldn't save his life. Craig | :03:24. | :03:33. | |
Anderson reports. The balloons and bunting are still here, a former | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
law and a reminder of a Saturday night party that should have been | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
full of fun but turned into tragedy. 18-year-old Nickolas Bowes was at a | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
birthday celebration at where it is thought he suffered a fatal wind. | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
Police and ambulance crews arrived and he was rushed to hospital, but | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
died from his injuries. Local people are shocked. He was nice, he | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
was sure average teenager. He had been end a little bit of bother | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
about a year ago and after his mum had died he had made a real effort | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
to get back on track and had been working really hard with the youth | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
workers in the town and other people and he had tried to get back | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
into the workplace and was making a real effort to put things back | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
together again. It has been reported that Nickolas Bowes was | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
fatally injured as he tried to cut off a curfew tag he had been forced | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
to wear after an assault conviction. Police will not confirm that, | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
insisting that his death is unexplained. 48 hours on, the house | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
for the party took place remains a crime scene. Police have | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
interviewed other youngsters at the party but say they are not looking | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
to trace anyone else. A post-mortem is due tomorrow. Dozens of tributes | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
have been posted on social networking sites and in a statement, | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
the family said that they were devastated. They thanked neighbours | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
and friends for their support. You're watching Reporting Scotland | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
from the BBC. Still to come on the programme: | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
Alex Salmond signs new cultural ties with China allowing Scottish | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
specialists to investigate an ancient chinese monument. | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
And calls for more accommodation for homeless people with pets. | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
In Sport, Craig Brown is bullish despite his side languishing at the | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
bottom of the SPL, Hearts players receive some but not all wages, | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
plus there's much better to come from Andy Murray, according to a | :05:28. | :05:37. | |
:05:38. | :05:44. | ||
The two giant pandas which are right from China yesterday are | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
settling into their new home. They are said to be very well after | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
their nine hour flight. They will gradually be introduced to their | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
outdoor enclosure, before being put on display to the public later this | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
month. A little bit jet lag, but otherwise | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
it is happy days. The pandas are settling into their new home. It | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
has been a long journey, but every moment has been meticulously | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
planned. At this said goodbye to China yesterday morning, to | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
touching down in Edinburgh at on a specially chartered jet, every | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
detail has been thought through, right down to the crowds that | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
turned out to meet them. Even fortune fluttered, a dusting of | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
snow to make them feel more at home. They are really different. One is | :06:34. | :06:42. | |
much more it sweet and relaxed. She likes to spend more time away from | :06:42. | :06:50. | |
the keepers. The other at one it is a ray of sunshine, and huge panda. | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
He is very impressive. He takes a lot of time -- spent a lot of time | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
eating. He is gregarious and I know he is going to be popular with | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
visitors. It will be another two weeks before members of the public | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
can step out onto the Panda trail and catch a glimpse of the passing | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
creatures for themselves. The Sioux is hoping that they will bring in | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
at least one million visitors. -- the zoo. We are really excited. I | :07:21. | :07:29. | |
am but in to see them on Saturday the 17th. It is because they are | :07:29. | :07:36. | |
endangered. I am excited, I have never seen pandas. The zoo is being | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
over �600,000 a year for the pandas, so the other gamble is, well they | :07:40. | :07:48. | |
mate? That will be down to them. The First Minister has found to | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
China for lending the two pandas. He passed on his appreciation when | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
he met the vice-premier in Beijing. He has also signed cultural | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
agreements, one of which allows specialists from the start Scotland | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
and Glasgow School of Art to digitally map one of China's major | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
ancient monuments. Ash Road of smog at some mystery to | :08:12. | :08:20. | |
these ancient tombs near Beijing. This World Heritage site is to be | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
digitally documented by a Scottish team as part of a wider cultural | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
agreement the First Minister has signed with China. It demonstrates | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
our commitment to share history and heritage, mutual understanding, but | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
it is also a demonstration of Scottish technology. We want to | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
display that to the world. We want Scotland to be known as a high-tech | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
country. It is a high-tech way of preserving this monument for future | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
generations. These ancient tombs sprawl over 15 square kilometres | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
and the sight is the final resting place of China's last ruling | :08:59. | :09:09. | |
:09:09. | :09:09. | ||
dynasty. These echoing chambers are described by the UN as a | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
masterpiece of human creative genius. The walls are rich with | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
decoration for the imaging team to catch up. We use different types of | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
laser scanner. This works by planning a laser beam of light | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
against the surface which returns the to the device and the | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
triangular it that to create a 3 D point in space. We could millions | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
of these together which gives us the form of the shape,. This was | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
the team gathering data on St Colder, one of the Fide world | :09:42. | :09:49. | |
heritage sites in Scotland they have matter. -- 5. Meant Rushmore | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
is one of five international sides in the project and these are the | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
images produced. But on a similar map of these tombs will start next | :09:58. | :10:08. | |
year. TRANSLATION, it is very meaningful. These buildings have | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
lasted two for thousands of years and are fading. But the digital | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
Tombs will never fade and should insure China's history shines on | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
for centuries. Police in Stornoway have confirmed | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
they are treating the death of a 16-year-old youth as murder. The | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
body of Liam Aitcheson was discovered in a derelict building | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
last week. It is the first murder in the Western Isles in more than | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
40 years. Angus Macdonald is in Stornoway for us tonight. Angus, | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
what more do we know about the circumstances of Liam Aitcheson's | :10:36. | :10:45. | |
death? According to details issued by | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
police, Liam was last seen a week last Tuesday. Police were notified | :10:51. | :10:58. | |
he was missing and they gave his details to the media last Monday. | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
At 2 o'clock last Tuesday, a body was found on the outskirts of | :11:03. | :11:13. | |
stored away. That was subsequently identified a few days later as the | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
body of Liam Aitcheson. He had been in Stornoway for a couple of months | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
after being born and brought up in South fewest. Since then, at the | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
police have said that they are treating this as a merger inquiry | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
and they are very keen for people to get in touch with them with | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
anything they think might be helpful for the inquiry. | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
And this is a big investigation for an island force, is it not? | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
Absolutely. Reinforcements have been brought over from the mainland. | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
A very strong forensic team has been carrying out Sir -- searches | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
around the derelict building. Our own reporters have also seen them | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
at other buildings around the town and at people's houses, and reports | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
are coming in through various -- from various places that they have | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
been seen. This is a big shock to a small community like this. The last | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
murder here was in 1968 and people are not used to this kind of event | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
in the islands. There are of course, -- there are of course the usual | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
incidents of violence, but nothing on this scale and for a person so | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
young it is doubly shocking for the community. Thank you very much. | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
Some of the other stories across Scotland this Monday. A woman has | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
told a court how she saw two rottweiler dog struck a girl from a | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
pipe and savagely attacked her. The woman said the girl was covered in | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
blood when she reached her. Sarah Kerr and David Adam denied being in | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
charge of the docks. People who are caught drink-driving | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
or taking drugs will face a criminal record, a driving ban and | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
having their vehicles seized. These chemicals -- outings will be | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
targeted at people over the legal limit and those who refuse to | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
provide a sample. Glasgow is to host the World Pipe | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
Band Championships until 2015. The City has been associated with the | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
event for more than 60 years, and was already confirmed as the host | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
for the 2012 championships. Now the world to -- Pipe Band Association | :13:25. | :13:32. | |
has confirmed it will close them until the middle of the decade. | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
It is one of the most trusted his prizes for up contemporary art, and | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
probably one of the most controversial. To date, the Turner | :13:41. | :13:51. | |
Prize will be handed over at a It used to produce flour, now the | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
Baltic Centre is showcasing art, art made from every possible | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
substance, paint, powder, cellophane. With the Turner Prize | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
anything-goes, but is it art? allows people to come in and let | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
them decide. The viewer comes in and makes up their own mind and | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
they are given the opportunity to say, you can challenge us. Scottish | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
artists are leading the charge. Since the prize was first staged in | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
1984, a record number of artists trained are living in Scotland have | :14:27. | :14:34. | |
been nominated. Several, like Susan Phillips, have gone on to win. | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
think we will look back on this and see this is a pivotal moment. We | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
have a melancholy painter, two sculptors, a video artist who is | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
different from one we might have had in the last 10 years. These are | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
artists with a keen sensibility and an attention to detail. This year | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
there are two Scots nominees, Martin Boyce and Carla Clarke, both | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
trained at Glasgow School of Art, which has produced 28% of nominees. | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
That, says its director is down to teachers who are artists themselves | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
and careful selection of the best students. You put those things | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
together and look at the wider context of a city that is full of | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
artists, a great community and it is hugely supportive and a city | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
council that is trying to create spaces to work, places to exhibit. | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
That is part of the formula for it. Whether it is the winning formula | :15:34. | :15:42. | |
this year, we will have to wait to find out. The winner is promised | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
�25,000 and the media attention for one of the biggest prizes in the | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
arts calendar. An animal charity is calling for | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
more hostels for the home has to offer accommodation to people with | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
pets. The charity One Kind says homeless people often end up on the | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
streets because they do not want to be separated from their animals. | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
The Christmas rush may be under way, but Scotland's rough sleepers have | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
little to celebrate, often forced to choose between having a bed for | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
the night or abandoning their animals. Homeless people say it is | :16:16. | :16:25. | |
a choice they should not have to make. I think a lot of people are | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
sitting on the street with a blanket over their dogs, but I feel | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
sorry for that person. A lot of people love their dogs that they | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
would sleep on the street with their dog. This hostel welcomes pet | :16:38. | :16:44. | |
owners and even has its own regular vet clinic. Our consultations can | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
take up to an hour and often the animal is like a foil in some ways. | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
The people speak a lot about their lives and our validated by their | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
relationship with their animal. Campaigners argue animals can help | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
keep spirits high and are not necessarily disruptive. There is | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
lots of evidence that they do not disrupt or cause any problems | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
within their shelters when the animals are there. In fact, they | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
play a big part in helping these people put their lives back | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
together. Hostel workers say the priority must be to help the | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
vulnerable people regardless of their circumstances. If there are | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
barriers there, whether it be Algol or substance misuse issues, we need | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
to break down those barriers and get people in the dark and then | :17:33. | :17:40. | |
they can turn their lives around. That should help ensure a happier | :17:40. | :17:48. | |
Christmas for homeless people and their animals. | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
Let's get the latest sports news. The Aberdeen manager Craig Brown | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
believes his club will move up the league given time and better | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
fortunes. They find themselves bottom of the SPL, exactly where | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
they were 12 months ago. One former player reckons he knows why they | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
have fallen behind so-called smaller clubs. Pittodrie may have | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
been the scene of some wonderful football over the years, but | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
nowadays the lot of an Aberdeen supporter is somewhat different. | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
Saturday's defeat by Kilmarnock left to the Dons bottom of the late. | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
The manager says it is cause for positivity. We are working hard to | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
improve the team and ensure we do make a team that will give pride | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
back to the City of Aberdeen. They see a Solidarity about the side and | :18:42. | :18:51. | |
a competitiveness in the side. What we need is a break and a full team, | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
or near one than we have been able to produce so far. Only two-and-a- | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
half years ago Jimmy Calderwood guided the club to a fourth-place | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
finish. But under his displacement they finished 9th the following | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
season. Mark McGhee was sacked this time last year with the club at the | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
foot of the SPL and Brown helped lift them tonight. But almost 12 | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
months on, they are back where they started. Where does the problem | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
lie? The squad Aberdeen have got, for me I would much rather have the | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
Kilmarnock scored. I would much rather have the St Johnstone squad. | :19:29. | :19:38. | |
They have embraced the philosophy of football. I do not feel there is | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
a philosophy of football at Pittodrie that the players are | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
embracing, or the fans are embracing. Their philosophy the | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
club would most like to embrace is a winning one and the manager will | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
be given more time to try to implement that. | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
Celtic have been cleared of breaching a Scottish Premier League | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
rule after their fans were reported singing broke IRA songs on 29th | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
October. The SPL stated it is not disputed a small number of fans | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
engaged in singing and chanting in support of the higher rate. Such | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
behaviour is unacceptable and unwelcome. It is noted as Celtic FC | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
has condemned such activity publicly on many occasions. | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
Hearts have paid �1,000 to their squad members as an interim payment | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
for those who have been waiting a fortnight for wages. The fans were | :20:29. | :20:39. | |
:20:39. | :20:39. | ||
generated a Saturday's 2-1 home defeat to St Johnstone. Ubig will | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
have to release and the rest. Andy Murray enjoyed his best ever | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
season this year, but 2012 could be better according to the six times | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
Grand Slam winner Boris Becker. He believes Murray only has to alter | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
his mind set in order to achieve the Grand Slam success that has so | :20:56. | :21:04. | |
far eluded him. What a year for Andy Murray. Five | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
titles, the semi-finals of every grand slam, as well as occupying | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
Number Three in the world rankings. In Australia he had another chance | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
to break his major duck. But he found the Serbian coming into the | :21:19. | :21:26. | |
form of his light. Novak Djokovic is the champion. Despite the long | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
season, there is little time for him to rest. Four weeks from now he | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
will start all over again and some believe he could be entering a | :21:35. | :21:41. | |
great here. He has a great opportunity to win his first major. | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
I do not believe Novak Djokovic will be able to repeat win in 10 | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
events. Raphael will be the favourites for the French Open, but | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
he has not had a fantastic year. Roger Federer is still hungry to | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
win more titles. It looks like they might be a little leeway to sneak | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
his first major. If he does not do it in 2012, it gets harder and | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
harder easier. One man who knows about winning Grand Slams believes | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
that the biggest change he must make is in his mind. I think it is | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
a question of confidence and attitude. He has been there so many | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
times and he knows exactly what to do, the question is can he followed | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
through? Can he put it on the court what he knows what to do? I | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
honestly believe one of these days he will win a major. I really hope | :22:35. | :22:45. | |
:22:45. | :22:47. | ||
so for him. You can see that Peter, plus find out about Eric Anderson's | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
plan to knock Phil Taylor off the darts number one spot on Sport | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
Nation tomorrow night at 10pm. Congratulations to Paul di Resta | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
and who was awarded Autosport International Rookie of the Year | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
after his debut season in Formula One. | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
Our money expect Fergus Muirhead will be here on Wednesday lunchtime. | :23:10. | :23:17. | |
He will be looking at financial issues in the run-up to Christmas. | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
After today's snow falls let's get the all important weather forecast. | :23:22. | :23:32. | |
:23:32. | :23:33. | ||
We knew it was coming, but it We see snow light is at this type | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
of the year. It is a cold snap, not like last year, but that cold | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
weather will be here for the next 24 hours. We will see further snow | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
showers over the main man, but it will die away. The Met Office have | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
a weather warning, a yellow warning, for ice. That will be the main | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
problem this evening, tonight and into tomorrow morning. Ice is on | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
untreated roads and services. That is what caused most of the | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
accidents earlier on today. This evening, plenty of wintry showers | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
across Western and Central Scotland to start with. Further | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
accumulations over high ground. The yellow warnings are still in place. | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
But they will become defined to western coastal areas. But look at | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
the showers across the far north. It is affecting the Orkney Isles | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
and Shetland and there are also strong, gale-force winds as well. | :24:34. | :24:42. | |
It is really miserable up there. Snow showers, but a lot of dry | :24:42. | :24:49. | |
weather across the mainland. It is a cold night and temperatures could | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
fall below freezing. Tomorrow it will be a largely dry start to the | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
day, but a cold and frosty start to the day. The ayes will be a risk | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
right through the rush hour. One or two showers in Western areas, but | :25:05. | :25:12. | |
not the snow we saw earlier today. Tomorrow a lot more in the way of | :25:12. | :25:19. | |
dry weather. Any showers receipt will tend to be light. Some of them | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
in land may fall as snow over the hills. A better day for Glasgow. | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
Some showers in the Outer Hebrides. We will see that when she makes of | :25:29. | :25:38. | |
showers across Orkney and set land. -- that winter remix of showers. | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
The temperatures inland are not getting above freezing very much. | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
During the course of the afternoon we will see those showers pull away | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
and the winds will ease as well. However, cloud is beginning in the | :25:54. | :26:03. | |
West. On Wednesday at cloudy, showery day and when the as well. | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
The best of any brightness will be further east. We are looking at a | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
lot of rain and strong winds coming our way on Thursday. | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
Tonight's main stories: Scotland got its first real taste of winter | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
disruption today as snow brought chaos to parts of the country. | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
Drivers were stuck for more than three hours on the M74. Some | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
schools and nurseries were closed and there were problems in the | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
Highlands and Perth and Kinross. The leaders of France and Germany | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
are under intense pressure to solve the euro-zone debt crisis and say | :26:38. | :26:44. | |
they will push for a new treaty. Countries that run up huge deficits | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
will face punishment from Brussels. Nicholas Sarkozy and Angela Merkel | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
say they would like Britain to be part of the treaty. | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
A teenager who died in Easter Ross at the weekend may have | :26:55. | :26:59. | |

with a night. The emergency services were called, but | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
paramedics could not save his life. HSBC has been fined �10.5 million | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
