Tonight on Reporting Scotland: Police say they have had a good | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
response from the public in their hunt for a rapist who attacked two | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
women in the centre of Glasgow in the early hours of yesterday | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
morning. A 20-year-old woman was sexually assaulted, and minutes | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
later, a 22-year-old woman was raped on the same street. | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
Crimestoppers has tonight offered a reward of �5,000 for the arrest and | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
conviction of the attacker. Emergency services were called to | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
the town's Weaver Terrace late last night following reports that a man | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
had been injured. 21-year-old Stephen Pollok was found dead at | :01:45. | :01:55. | |
:01:55. | :02:02. | ||
the scene. Police say their inquiries are at an early stage. | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
The first attack happened here. That second attack happened 15 | :02:09. | :02:19. | |
:02:19. | :02:20. | ||
minutes later. Their access ramp across the road. The second attack | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
came to the police's attention, because the victim was able to flag | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
down a delivery driver, and he drove into the street where the | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
police had arrived. The attacks happened in this street, but police | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
believe the man was hanging around for three-quarters of an hour. | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
There have been very helpful and strong. What I would say is that | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
one of them struggled quite vigorously with this man, and he | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
may have injuries or scratches. I cannot confirm it, but it is | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
possible. This is mainly a business district. It has made women to | :03:02. | :03:11. | |
think about their own safety. a very dark airier, and at night | :03:11. | :03:21. | |
:03:21. | :03:21. | ||
time, there is nobody around a. Police are hopeful somebody will be | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
able to identify this man from the CCTV image. It may be the | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
distinctive watch worn on his right-wing let -- dressed, or | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
unexplained scratches. Crime stoppers have put up a reward of | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
�5,000. Police have launched a murder | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
inquiry after a man was shot dead after a disturbance at house in | :03:45. | :03:55. | |
:03:55. | :04:10. | ||
Paisley. It is a terrible loss of a life. I want to appeal to people - | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
put yourself in his family and their position. Anyone with any | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
information, please come forward and help us to establish how | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
Stephen died. The Crown Office has tonight | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
announced that there will be a fatal accident inquiry into the | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
death of young Declan Hainey in Paisley. Last week, his mother | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
Kimberley was found guilty of his murder. The news broke tonight | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
after the issue was raised at Holyrood by the new Labour leader | :04:33. | :04:43. | |
:04:43. | :04:44. | ||
Johann Lamont, who was confronting Alex Salmond for the first time. | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
Surrounded by her supporters, the New Labour leader, looking for to | :04:51. | :04:59. | |
confronting Alex Salmond? I am relishing it! Johann Lamont is the | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
fourth Labour leader to question him. Where the opposition are bring | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
forward. Of substance that the government will be prepared to take | :05:09. | :05:18. | |
common cause. And out of business. A moment's laughter, but the | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
business was solemn - the tragic death of baby Declan Hainey, | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
murdered by his mother. Johann Lamont urged an urgent | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
investigation. We have a counsel of despair. There is nothing that | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
government can do. But if we worked together, if we are honest, we can | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
get this right. We can't afford a gap between what we say we care | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
about, a rhetoric, and the reality in Scotland's home. There has to be | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
a connection between what we see and how people live. Alex Salmon | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
said such issues were under constant review. There is | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
substantial evidence that departments, as a result of | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
inspections, are performing much better than they were before. | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
Johann Lamont is asking for a guarantee that there will never be | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
a tragic circumstance. I cannot give that guarantee! No politician | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
can. A sensitive topic to choose, but overall, deftly handled by the | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
New Labour leader. She was speaking as a mother. She turned down the | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
political rhetoric, and sought to resonate with popular concerns. | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
Brian Taylor joins me now from Holyrood. Plans announced for an | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
inquiry into the case of Declan Hainey. That was raised by Johann | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
Lamont. It was indeed. It was the substance of her concern. She was | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
asking for a wider, independent investigation. We do have an | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
announcement, taking the first steps towards what should be a | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
fatal accident inquiry where there are issues of wider public concern, | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
or general concern of, or public safety to be raised. The First | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
Minister was constrained when he was answering questions, because | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
there was the prospect of this inquiry in the wings, and also, of | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
course, we do not have the details of the sentence upon Kimberley. | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
Another issue at Holyrood, MSPs criticising the UK government's | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
plans to changes to the welfare system. Welfare is a reserved power | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
to Westminster, is is meaningful? It is not significant in terms of | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
changing the benefits regime. Plans will go ahead. Holyrood does not | :07:49. | :07:56. | |
have power to block those. There are consequences for these changes. | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
Holyrood is saying, instead of allowing that to be lumped under | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
the UK Bill, the Scottish Parliament would take decisions on | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
those. Why? That allows scrutiny by a committee here at Holyrood, | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
perhaps putting pressure back on the UK government on this issue, | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
but I stress, it does not stop those changes happening. | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on the | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
programme: Large parts of Skye and the Western | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
Isles are without electricity, but Scottish Power say they are | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
spending millions to keep the lights on through the winter. | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
In sport, the Hearts midfielder Ryan Stevenson goes on strike over | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
the late payment of wages. And just how likely is it that the | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
former Rangers striker Kris Boyd will soon be in the hoops of Old | :08:42. | :08:51. | |
Firm rivals Celtic? There are calls today for | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
protection of Scottish links to Heathrow Airport following the | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
takeover of the airline BMI by its rival British Airways. The boss of | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
the new airline says it will be good for customers, but not | :09:01. | :09:10. | |
everyone's so sure. This is a great story for the UK. This will give | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
consumers better choice going forward. This will allow us to | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
expand our network, provide opportunities for business and | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
tourism, to connect to the emerging markets. I am concerned that we | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
might find ourselves back in the position we were a number of years | :09:28. | :09:35. | |
ago, where British Airways owned the caviar at we were flying into. | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
The choice might be undermined, and prizes might go up. For the health | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
of the nation, it would be better if there was more competition. | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
Our business editor, Douglas Fraser, is here to unpack this for us. | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
There are more links between the UK and the rest of the world, but | :09:55. | :10:02. | |
probably at a price. Possibly at higher ticket prices, and what is | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
happening is that BMI is a losing money, and British -- at British | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
Airways wants to get valuable landing slots. They want to make | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
them long-haul flights where they make more money. The Edinburgh, | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
Aberdeen, but you will have no more competition between BMI British | :10:21. | :10:29. | |
Airways. That all lightly put prices up. Can we expect any | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
protection for Scottish travellers? British Airways should -- says | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
there should be more than enough capacity. He says, you have a | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
choice. If you want a good to London, you can get the train. But | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
this matters not just for those of us planning our holidays, it is | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
important for international business travellers and tourists | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
who are coming and you want convenience and competitively | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
priced at flight. They might not come here. The regulators might get | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
involved, and put conditions on this deal to protect the UK. Also, | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
there is a in regional division of BMI. There are smaller planes not | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
using Heathrow. There have been talks between at Scottish Aviation | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
in best does today that over. Those talks are behind schedule, they are | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
going on, they have got a few weeks to ensure they reach a deal. If | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
they don't, British Airways gets that regional division. | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
Some of the other stories across Scotland this Thursday: Abdelbaset | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
al-Megrahi has given what he's described as his "last interview", | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
and again denied any involvement in the Lockerbie bombing. Megrahi is | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
the only person to have been convicted in connection with the | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
1988 attack which killed 270 people. He was released on compassionate | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
grounds in 2009, after being diagnosed with cancer, and returned | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
to Libya. Edinburgh Council has been attacked | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
by hackers. The council says a "malicious cyber attack" was | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
carried out on the records of residents who' ha asked for debt | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
advice. The council has written to thousands of people to warn that | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
their personal records may have been accessed, and is urging them | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
to monitor their bank and credit card accounts carefully. | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
The High Court in Edinburgh has heard that a man charged with | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
murdering his wife is "insane" and "unfit to stand trial". Neil | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
Cumming is accused of killing his wife Jane in their home in | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
Longforgan near Dundee in July this year. The case has been continued | :12:32. | :12:40. | |
for further medical reports into Mr Cumming's mental health. | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
Large parts of the Western Isles and Skye have been left without | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
electricity after a major power cut earlier today. Scottish Hydro says | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
it's sending generators to the affected areas, and power should be | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
restored by this evening. Meanwhile, electricity companies say they have | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
invested millions of pounds to reduce the risk of power cuts | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
caused by severe winter weather. Our environment correspondent, | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
David Miller, took to the air to find out how that money has been | :13:03. | :13:12. | |
spent. They are the giants of the glens, | :13:12. | :13:18. | |
the network relies on the pilot's which slide across our landscape. | :13:18. | :13:28. | |
:13:28. | :13:30. | ||
But winds, has slowed and buyers Flying in by helicopter may seem | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
dramatic, but Scotland's rugged terrain and weather conditions mean | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
that aircraft like this one have a vital role to play in maintaining | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
electricity suppliers. Most lines are in good shape. The power | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
companies have invested millions of pounds to ensure they can keep the | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
lights on across the country this winter. But when something does go | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
wrong, we still have to rely on teams of unsung hero as he take to | :13:59. | :14:08. | |
the hills, often in the harshest of conditions. They are the unsung | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
heroes of the industry. What drives them is they know it that people | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
depend on them. The guys get a lot of self-satisfaction and they are | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
dedicated to their jobs. Tens of thousands of households were left | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
without power after the recent violent storms, but bosses say the | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
poor weather conditions the country has already endured show their | :14:31. | :14:40. | |
investment is paying off. A we had a major storm on Boxing Day in 1988. | :14:40. | :14:50. | |
:14:50. | :14:51. | ||
Around 300,000 customers last their supply. This time round the | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
conditions were similar and only 45,000 people lost power. Of course, | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
the winter has only just begun and the engineers concede be Scottish | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
weather always has the potential to disrupt even out what best-laid | :15:04. | :15:13. | |
plans. -- away at best laid plans. People are warning people are using | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
cash machines to be on the lookout for hidden cameras and bank card | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
copy of devices. Skimming technology is so sophisticated it | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
is getting more difficult to spot. And number of devices had been | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
found on machines in the borders recently. | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
You can only imagine how much these machines will be used over the next | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
few days, but criminals are targeting cash machines we skimming | :15:40. | :15:47. | |
devices. What are we talking about here? What we have here is this | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
device on a piece of plastic which is almost identical to the | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
framework of the machine. If you turn it over, you can see the | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
device on the back. There is a battery, circuit boards and the | :15:58. | :16:08. | |
device which his place in here. that scans the card. You yes. The | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
information they require is early on that magnetic strip. This is the | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
camera device which films you using your PIN number. It fits on to the | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
machine like this. When it is in position, it is almost identical, | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
so people do not notice it. then as the camera in this? You us. | :16:30. | :16:39. | |
It is a tiny hole. In the back there is a standard camera that is | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
connected up to eight circuit board. And the information goes to someone | :16:45. | :16:55. | |
:16:55. | :16:56. | ||
there by? Yes. They are quite ne'er -- near. They send information to | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
other people sitting with blank cards so they can use your | :17:03. | :17:07. | |

is. Thank you. Also, take care in supermarket queues and always got | :17:31. | :17:41. | |

your -- and always guard your PIN number. Now for the sport. | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
Kris Boyd's history as a Rangers player would be no barrier to him | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
joining Celtic. So says the Celtic manager Neil Lennon. Boyd this week | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
terminated his contract with Turkish club Eskisehirspor and the | :17:52. | :18:00. | |
SPL's record goal scorer is on the look-out for a new club. Kris Boyd | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
is the all-time record goalscorer and the Scottish League with 164 | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
goals. He is a free agent and now has been linked to a number of | :18:10. | :18:17. | |
clubs, including Celtic. He is a prolific goalscorer. He is a player | :18:18. | :18:27. | |
:18:28. | :18:29. | ||
with a great record and any player like that would be welcome. People | :18:29. | :18:39. | |
:18:39. | :18:40. | ||
are speculating, but going to Celtic would not be a problem. | :18:40. | :18:49. | |
what about the Celtic fans? How would they feel about Kris Boyd? | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
problem. If he can score goals, or we would be glad to have him here. | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
A I do not know it if Kris Boyd would play, but if he does, why not. | :18:59. | :19:06. | |
Maurice Johnston is famous for playing for both clubs over 20 | :19:06. | :19:13. | |
years ago. Could boy it be their next play it to cross the great | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
divide? Not if the bookmakers have anything to do with it. If you do | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
fancy a flutter, and you can get 10-one for him to join up at Celtic | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
Park. Meanwhile the Celtic trio of James | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
Forrest, Adam Matthews and Scott Brown have been approached about | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
the possibility of playing for Team GB at the London 2012 Olympics. The | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
players have now all received letters asking if they will make | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
themselves available for selection. The Hearts midfielder Ryan | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
Stevenson has told the Edinburgh club he won't be showing up for | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
training until he gets paid his December salary. The delayed | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
payment of wages to players has become a major feature at Hearts | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
this season, and it seems there's interest in Stevenson from English | :19:51. | :20:01. | |
:20:01. | :20:10. | ||
Ryan Stevenson in happier times scoring again St Mirren. After | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
asking to have his contract terminated and been told no, he | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
informed the manager he would not be coming to training until he | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
receives his December salary. The player's Agen has held talks with | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
the club to try to negotiate apart way away from Tynecastle when the | :20:27. | :20:36. | |
transfer window opens. Fans have mixed views on the player's actions. | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
If you are not getting paid, why not. You cannot do a job and not | :20:40. | :20:48. | |
get paid. I've been he should appreciate that Hearts have given | :20:48. | :20:55. | |
him a chance. He needs to be patient. I would not turn up if I | :20:55. | :21:04. | |
was not being paid. Ryan Stevenson has six months left on his contract | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
at Hart. The club must decide whether he will be allowed to leave | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
before the end of the season. Motherwell's Steve Jennings has | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
been banned for two matches after his involvement in a spat with St | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
Mirren's Jim Goodwin at the weekend. Jennings was given the ban by the | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
SFA's Fast Track Tribunal, who also reduced the red card shown to | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
Aberdeen's Peter Pawlett against Hibs to a yellow. It was a busy day | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
for the disciplinary department today. The Dunfermline manager Jim | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
McIntyre's criticism of referee Steve Conroy for awarding Rangers | :21:29. | :21:39. | |
:21:39. | :21:39. | ||
this penalty was ruled not to be worthy of punishment. We recognise | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
what a hard job the referee has got. I am glad I had a chance today to | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
explain that my words were about the decision made at the time and | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
not the referee's performance. it a victory for common sense? | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
I have received a fair hearing and I am delighted with the result. | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
To rugby, and Glasgow still have room to improve, says coach Sean | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
Lineen ahead of the festive double header against Edinburgh. The | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
Scottish pro-sides meet on Boxing Day at Murrayfield and then again | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
at Firhill in Glasgow on New Years Day. And despite some decent recent | :22:11. | :22:19. | |
Glasgow results, Lineen is still looking for more from his side. | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
Some of the attack has not been as great as it could be and the | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
players know that. They work incredibly hard at the game, but | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
again, of what a fantastic occasion? Two teams that are going | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
really well and they have caught the imagination of the public. | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
Boxing Day will be a cracker. Should be great, and also don't | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
forget BBC Sports Personality tonight on BBC One at 8pm. I | :22:43. | :22:53. | |
:22:53. | :23:02. | ||
understand there should be at least a bit of Scottish interest. | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
A tiny Scottish airport on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean has been | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
voted the world's most stunning landing spot. Barra Airport in the | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
Outer Hebrides came top of a global poll of pilots and travellers, | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
beating the likes of St Barts, the Maldives and Gibraltar. Laura | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
Bicker has been finding out why.$$NEWLINE And finally, a man on | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
the Isle of Skye has turned his home near Portree into something of | :23:20. | :23:30. | |
:23:30. | :23:35. | ||
It is just spectacular. The views are amazing. We are waiting for our | :23:35. | :23:43. | |
first view of Barra beach. This is the only beach on the planet used | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
regularly for scheduled flights and it presents a challenge for the | :23:46. | :23:53. | |
most able of pilots. It is quite a windy part of the world most of the | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
time, so you will notice it and feel the movement. Every little | :23:59. | :24:05. | |
changed is going to be noticeable. Lots of reactions from people when | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
they get off the plane. I have had someone kneeled down and kiss the | :24:10. | :24:16. | |
sand before. A lot of people travel from across the world to do this. | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
It is one of the most sought-after landings in the whole world. They | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
airport first opened in 1936. Higher winds happy to be a problem. | :24:28. | :24:36. | |
This aeroplane was toppled in a gale. A good time to mention | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
another one of the airport's other accolades. National Geographic | :24:39. | :24:49. | |
:24:49. | :24:52. | ||
boasted it one of the most treacherous airport. The sand | :24:53. | :25:00. | |
absorbs the impact when you are touching down, so you get a smooth | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
landing than you would expect. too soon it is time for the return | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
journey. The wind has picked up and we have been warned that the take- | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
off could be a little bumpy. That is what makes this place so special. | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
It is not just at the mercy of the tides, it is at the mercy of the | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
weather and it is a special place that you really want to come back | :25:22. | :25:32. | |
:25:32. | :25:44. | ||
Another weather. Today, it was extremely mild. If we take a look, | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
to those of 12 Celsius. On the same day last year it was minus 16 | :25:50. | :25:58. | |
Celsius. Very much for the time of year. It was also cloudy and will | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
continue to be said tonight. A band of rain coming in from the north- | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
west. It will turn into a snow over higher ground in the north-west. A | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
little bit drier towards the east. We may see some fast developing in | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
the North East. It will be windy in Weston Park, but quite mild. | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
Tomorrow morning, the rain will linger for a while in the south. It | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
will gradually clear away during the course of the morning to leave | :26:26. | :26:32. | |
a colder, but brighter day. The best of the sunshine towards | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
eastern part. Cloudier towards the West with those showers carrying on. | :26:38. | :26:44. | |
Some of them will be quite wintry. The biggest difference will be the | :26:44. | :26:50. | |
temperatures. Highs any beaching four or five degrees. Not too | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
different from our work night-time lows tonight. It will feel quite | :26:52. | :27:01. | |
cold in the wind. Tomorrow evening, it will be cold and they could be | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
some frost in the North East. Over the Christmas weekend it will be | :27:05. | :27:11. | |
wet and windy. On Saturday, rain pushing into the West. It will stay | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
very windy. Dry and bright it was that East and temperatures | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
beginning to recover. Christmas Day, the rain will still be a big | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
feature as we have another fund pushing in. The West will bear the | :27:24. | :27:34. | |
:27:34. | :27:35. | ||
brunt of it. -- another front. Wind macro still strong across the | :27:35. | :27:45. | |
:27:45. | :27:48. | ||
country, but very mild for this time of the year. The top stories | :27:48. | :27:51. | |
tonight: A series of coordinated bombings | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
has killed at least 63 people and injured 200 in the Iraqi capital | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
Baghdad just days after American troops finally withdrew from Iraq. | :27:57. | :28:00. | |
In total, 14 bombs went off in various locations in both Sunni and | :28:00. | :28:02. | |
Shia neighbourhoods, prompting fears of sectarian violence. | :28:02. | :28:04. | |
Police investigating two serious sexual assaults in Glasgow city | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
centre say they have had an encouraging response from the | :28:07. | :28:10. |
