Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight: Donald Trump tells MSPs | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
that he was given assurances from two First Minister as there would | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
be no offshore wind farms near his multi-million pound golf resort. | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
What they did was the "lured" end, I spend this money and now I might | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
regret it. We will have a full report from Holyrood and we will be | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
analysing Donald Trump's alternatives to wind turbines. | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
Rupert Murdoch is quizzed at the Leveson Inquiry over his | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
relationship with the First Minister. | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
Is it a sign of the times? Shoplifters are now targeting | :00:55. | :01:02. | |
charity shops. And is it a bird? Is it an aeroplane? No, it is a | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
supersonic car and the wheels are made in Glasgow. | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
The American tycoon, Donald Trump, has claimed he was "lured" into | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
investing in Scotland by two First Ministers. The businessman said he | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
was first assured by Jack McConnell and then Alex Salmond that an | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
offshore wind farm would not be built near his Aberdeenshire golf | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
resort. The planning application has since been submitted. Donald | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
Trump make the claims as he appeared before a Scottish | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
Parliamentary committee, investigating the Government's | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
renewable energy targets. There was plenty wounded Holyrood | :01:39. | :01:49. | |
today. From those who love turbines... And from those, like, | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
Donald Trump, do not. He arrived before the Devil's, a businessman | :01:56. | :02:06. | |
:02:06. | :02:07. | ||
who turned showman to denouncement powerful so -- wind power. Scotland | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
will go broke. Where is your clinical evidence? First of all, I | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
am the evidence. Never known for an understatement, he went on to decry | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
two First Ministers. I felt betrayed. The "lured" me in and now | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
I might regret it. He said his golf resort all we went ahead because as | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
First Minister, Jack McConnell, assured him there would be no | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
nearby wind development. As Jack McConnell said it would not be | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
built. His people told my people that it will not happen. And he | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
claimed Alex Salmond had given him similar private assurances. Alex | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
Salmond scoffed at the idea at a dinner we had in New York. | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
claims were met with some scepticism. It would have been | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
completely out rages and improper for a First Minister to give such a | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
future assurance about the planning application on anything. I do not | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
think so. Boss Alex Salmond and Lord McConnell denied giving | :03:15. | :03:22. | |
guarantees. So the news conference that followed... I do have | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
witnesses. It is not every day that an American tycoon gives evidence | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
to a committee of the Scottish Parliament. This has been one of | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
the liveliest and busiest sessions of any committee in this Parliament. | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
It was more Hollywood than Holyrood and Donald Trump left amid their | :03:42. | :03:50. | |
rival protests weaving controversy behind them. -- behind him. | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
During today's hearing, Donald Trump suggested a number of | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
alternatives to wind power. But do they make financial sense? And are | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
the practical? David Nolan has been looking at his suggestions. | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
The Scottish Government's goal is to generate 100% of our electricity | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
demand from new -- from renewables by 2020. Ministers say wind farms | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
will have a vital role to play in achieving that target. Present | :04:21. | :04:31. | |
:04:31. | :04:32. | ||
sworn wind power is expensive, need subsidies and is unreliable. -- | :04:32. | :04:42. | |
:04:42. | :04:48. | ||
critics warned. The cost to the consumer onshore wind is about | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
three times the normal cost of power and offshore, it is more than | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
four. So are there alternatives to wind-power? Donald Trump told MSPs | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
scholar should increase its use of hydropower. Industry experts say | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
there is some remaining potential. But the vast majority a suitable | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
big sites were developed decades ago. Donald Trump has spoken about | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
the benefits of wave and tidal power. Ironically, these forms of | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
generation will require higher subsidies than twin power and still | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
-- are still a long way from being commercially viable. He says the | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
Irish are thrilled because they will benefit from the damage wind | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
farms will cause to Scotland's tourism industry. Last year | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
Scotland generated almost 20% of his cellar trustee using wind. But | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
Ireland was not far behind at 18% and it is also planning a major | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
expansion. Expect more claims and counter-claims in the months and | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
even years ahead. The media tycoon Rupert Murdoch has | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
declared that his relationship with the First Minister Alex Salmond is | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
warm, but all the publisher and the politician vigorously denied there | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
was any deal to help advance Mr Murdoch's bid for the satellites -- | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
satellite broadcaster BSkyB. Mr Murdoch was giving evidence to the | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
Leveson Inquiry into press standards. | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
Rupert Murdoch has Scottish ancestry and that a influenced his | :06:31. | :06:41. | |
:06:41. | :06:43. | ||
views over the Scottish Parliament. How would you describe your | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
relationship with Mr Salmond? Is a warm or something different? Today? | :06:49. | :06:56. | |
I would describe it is warm. I don't know Mr Salmond well. But I | :06:56. | :07:04. | |
have three meetings here and he is an amusing guy. I enjoy his company, | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
enjoyed talking. At the Scottish elections in 2007, the son of was | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
their SNP. But four years they backed Alex Salmond to stay on a | :07:15. | :07:22. | |
Scottish Minister. It is a little emotional, but I am attracted by | :07:22. | :07:31. | |
the idea. But I am not convinced and died think we should stay | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
neutral on the big issue. -- and I think we should. Of the publisher | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
and Mr Salmond have firmly denied any trade-off between the Sun | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
supporting the SNP and Mr Salmond backing Mr Murdoch's application to | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
gain full control of BSkyB. E-mails indicate that the First Minister | :07:52. | :08:02. | |
:08:02. | :08:03. | ||
was ready to intervene. It never happened, overtaken by events. That | :08:03. | :08:13. | |
:08:13. | :08:13. | ||
day Mr Hunt approve it News Corporation's application for BSkyB. | :08:14. | :08:22. | |
Mr Salmon said his concern was Scottish jobs. The reality is that | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
this would lead to more jobs and more investment. That would be in | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
the Scottish interest. I thought that as they should be taken into | :08:31. | :08:38. | |
account. Do you think MSPs... Politics Scotland Today and the row | :08:38. | :08:48. | |
continues. More a Holyrood tomorrow. You are watching Reporting Scotland. | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
Still to come: Even shoplifters are falling on hard times as charity | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
shops record a rise in thefts. In sport: More on the fall-out from | :09:00. | :09:09. | |
that transfer ban. I will reveal the nominees for Manager of the | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
Year. And what is prompting the second rugby started on, what is | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
that a week on a hat?. A murder trial has heard that an | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
Elgin woman planned to meet her lawyer to discuss getting a divorce | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
on the day she disappeared 14 years ago. The High Court in Edinburgh | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
heard that Arlene Fraser seemed quite happy when she told her | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
friends about her plans. Her husband, Nat Fraser denies a murder | :09:35. | :09:43. | |
and says his friend may be responsible. She vanished in April | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
1998. This woman was a friend and said she was much happier after | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
separating from her husband. Arlene Fraser told her that she was | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
meeting a lawyer at the next day. But the following afternoon, she | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
became concerned when she could not reach Arlene Fraser. She said it | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
was a -- out of character for a not to be at home for her children | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
coming back from school. She said that at 10 o'clock that night Nat | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
Fraser came to her house, he was concerned about where the children | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
were but was not worried about where Arlene Fraser was. Arlene | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
Fraser has meant to me to a friend on the day she went missing. She | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
said she had gone round to her home that morning and found the door | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
open but no one at home. Arlene Fraser had been security-conscious | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
and it was unusual for her to leave the home unlocked. Later in the | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
evening as concern grew for the mother of two, she returned with | :10:40. | :10:47. | |
the police. Arlene Fraser's League Cup was still there as were her | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
close and other things. About a week before Arlene Fraser went | :10:53. | :11:00. | |
missing, she had told Michelle how she had seen Hector's sitting in a | :11:00. | :11:10. | |
car outside her house for an hour. She also remembered Arlene Fraser | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
as a good mother who would leave -- never leave her children and | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
attendant. Nat Fraser denies murdering his wife and the trial | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
continues. I judge has ordered David Murray's | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
company, MML, to provide Ranger as administrators with letters and e- | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
mails about the sale of the club to Craig Whyte. Duff and Phelps argued | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
that correspondence between the business and Mr White's lawyer's | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
would help their investigation into the takeover. Lord Hodge said that | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
although MML had no objection to the disclosure, a court order was | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
necessary because of confidentially -- confidentiality clauses | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
surrounding the sale. The number of companies going bust | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
in Scotland has risen sharply, according to the most recent | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
official figures. The Accountant in Bankruptcy to be issued figures | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
showing 385 Scottish companies were declared insolvent in the first | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
quarter of this year. That is more than 30% higher than over the same | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
period last year. The figures also show a 13% rise in the number of | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
personal bankruptcies. Could secondary-school teachers | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
Rhine primary schools? That is a radical proposal from East Lothian | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
and Midlothian council after years of low numbers of applications for | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
head teacher posts. It would require applicants doing a one-year | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
online course. But tonight the General teaching Council said it | :12:35. | :12:45. | |
:12:45. | :12:47. | ||
was opposed to the plan. Coming in, not applications to be | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
head teachers. Across Scotland the shortage is such, two council say | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
it is time to look for a new pool of recruits. Promoted staff in | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
secondary schools managing large numbers of staff and budgets, could | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
be given the opportunity to apply. At the last count, fewer than five | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
primary staff apply for each vacancy. And one in five needs to | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
be re-advertised. Juggling budgets and staff is believed to deter some | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
primary teachers from applying. Head teachers' leaders say the | :13:21. | :13:28. | |
potential pay rise for her deputies there is the problem. It is not | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
simply a prep -- financial matter, the situation could continue if it | :13:32. | :13:42. | |
is not at all. Listening to problems about learning to read, | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
food and toileting. But will families except secondary teachers? | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
They have their qualified in specific subjects, primary teachers | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
do a spectrum. I do not think it is a bad idea as long as teachers have | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
experience working in primary schools are working with young | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
children. Council leaders say they won you're online course and plenty | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
of support would ensure the new head teachers make the grade. | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
I look now at what else has won happening across the country this | :14:16. | :14:22. | |
Wednesday. Nearly 1000 Postle packs were sent out in Dumfries and | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
Galloway with no ballot paper inside. The region's returning | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
officer says new packets are on the way to voters. | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
Greenpeace says its own tests show little environmental impact from | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
the gas leak on the elegant platform in the North Sea. The | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
group's -- Group sent a researcher on to the scene. | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
The Scottish Local authorities warning bracelets sold in this area | :14:48. | :14:57. | |
could be poisonous. These contain a fatal toxins. Reports indicate that | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
a small quantity, even a child chewing in getting access to the | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
contents of one of these beans could be fatal. Sir Walter's got's | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
former home, Abba's first house will be renovated after the council | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
approved new plans -- -- approved plans. People who live near | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
Aberdeen prison are being called -- has to call a special hotline to | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
report suspicious activity. Last year more than 200 mobile phones | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
were thrown into the jail. The man from Seattle is attempting | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
to row from Stornoway to the Faroe Islands and then on to Iceland. It | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
is his second attempt, bad weather forced them back last time. What I | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
am waiting for are those ideal conditions and I trust the boat, I | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
know how strong she is. I have brought her close to 500 miles now. | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
So I know my abilities with her. And there are more stories from | :15:55. | :16:05. | |
:16:05. | :16:06. | ||
your area and all the latest on the A week tomorrow, polling stations | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
open for Scotland's local elections. Because of the voting fiasco back | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
in 2007, last year's Holyrood votes were counted by hand. But now | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
electronic counting is back. Kenneth Macdonald has been behind | :16:21. | :16:31. | |
:16:31. | :16:37. | ||
the scenes with the machines. It is a sophisticated system which is | :16:37. | :16:46. | |
meant it Taylor and election result fast. There could be a 100,000 | :16:46. | :16:53. | |
rejected ballot papers across Scotland. Tens of thousands of | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
ballot papers were spoiled and most of these were rejected | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
automatically by the counting machines. The question this time as, | :17:02. | :17:10. | |
is it going to be accurate and secular and is it going to work? | :17:10. | :17:18. | |
The process is under new management. His solution has been designed in | :17:18. | :17:28. | |
conjunction with users and with the local authorities who will use it. | :17:28. | :17:36. | |
So poor to say this will lead to a fair results and that the counting | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
of votes by hand can take days. This way, the rewards can be | :17:42. | :17:52. | |
:17:52. | :17:53. | ||
counted in Meier seconds. So, at the Fifth stage we not that this | :17:53. | :18:00. | |
party will have three candidates. If and when it was a rejected, they | :18:00. | :18:10. | |
will be by the returning officer, not the machine. You have a one for | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
your first choice say to for your second choice and a 3 for your | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
third choice. The system has already been used in smaller | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
Scottish elections. They are one of them, there were 17 candidates on | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
the ballot paper. Shelter Scotland say there has been | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
a sharp increase in shoplifting in their charity shops, with more than | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
a dozen incidents a week. The charity says thieves are now seeing | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
them as a soft target, with the number of incidents rising faster | :18:39. | :18:48. | |
than on the rest of the high street. Charity shops are very much part of | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
the landscape these days. As well as attracting shoppers looking for | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
real bargain, they are attracting shop Lister's looking for goods to | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
pass on. Staff say the shop in the West End has been targeted several | :19:05. | :19:13. | |
times a week. It is not a particular type of person, it is | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
everyone. We have the type of people look for a certain item or | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
label that they can sell on and make money from and then they will | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
use the right moment to put it in their back or pitta and their | :19:28. | :19:37. | |
jackets. Shelter is not the honour a charity feeling the pinch. Recent | :19:37. | :19:43. | |
research shows that shot listing in charity shops has risen by one | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
Firth and the last year. That compares to 14 % across the rest of | :19:49. | :19:59. | |
:19:59. | :20:01. | ||
the highest rate. People say this type of theft is disgusting. By it | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
is absolutely terrible. These operations are helping the most | :20:05. | :20:15. | |
:20:15. | :20:16. | ||
vulnerable people in the society. It is shocking. Police say that | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
thieves know fine now that most of these charity shops do not have | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
sophisticated security systems. They think they are a very soft | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
touch but the message we want to put across is that if people's | :20:32. | :20:39. | |
steal from charity shops we're going to pursue them. Not all of | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
that there will be no lover charity to those who carry out these crimes. | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
Let us get the latest sport now, from Rhona. | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
One of the members of the Scottish FA panel that imposed a 12-month | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
transfer ban on Rangers has spoken to BBC Scotland. Rangers manager | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
Ally McCoist says the transfer ban could kill the club. Our reporter | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
Chris Mclaughlin is at SFA headquarters at Hampden Park now. | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
Why has one of the members of the panel felt the need to comment and | :21:07. | :21:17. | |
and what has he been saying? Ally McCoist Rangers manager had said | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
that it was a decision which could kill off the club. He also said he | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
was looking for clarity and names, in terms of those on this panel. | :21:28. | :21:34. | |
Today, the names on that panel where late the via social | :21:35. | :21:41. | |
networking site. As you said, one of the panel members has decided to | :21:41. | :21:48. | |
speak to BBC One Scotland. Heath he cannot be named, but this is what | :21:48. | :21:58. | |
:21:58. | :22:07. | ||
That particular member of the panel also told us that he is considering | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
a his situation with regard to been the part of any future judicial | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
panel. Rangers fans, spurred on by Ally | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
McCoists comments yesterday, want to know who was on the panel. What | :22:20. | :22:28. | |
is the SFA's objection to them being named? A bet remains to be | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
seen why the Scottish Football Association demand confidentiality. | :22:34. | :22:41. | |
The clubs voted for this and it never rains, but it just pause for | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
Rangers, it would appear these days. The Scottish FA has announced a | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
change of referee for Sunday's Old Firm match at Celtic Park. Craig | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
Thomson is now unavailable, so Calum Murray has been drafted in. | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
Mr Murray sent Neil Lennon to the stand at half time in the Old Firm | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
match last month. The Celtic manager will have to watch from the | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
stands again this time, as punishment for a separate incident. | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
And the Celtic boss is on the shortlist for the Manager of the | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
Year award. Under Lennon, Celtic won this year's SPL title, putting | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
together a 21-match unbeaten run in the process. Ross County's Derek | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
Adams is also nominated. His team have won the First Division and are | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
32 games unbeaten. The third nominee is Motherwell's Stuart | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
McCall, whose team are currently third in the SPL. | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
Edinburgh Rugby are preparing for their European Cup semifinal this | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
weekend against Ulster. But the pressure is all on the Irish, | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
according to Edinburgh back row Dave Denton. He was on hand at | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
Murrayfield today, colourful wig and all, to promote the semifinal | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
match this Saturday. It is the biggest match in the club's history, | :23:45. | :23:53. | |
but it seems not one to be feared. There is no doubt there is work | :23:53. | :24:00. | |
more pressure on them. I would not say there is nothing for us to lose, | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
but we want to get through to the final. We have got very strong | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
ambitions. This is the first step for us. | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
Former world snooker champion Graham Dott has been knocked out of | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
this year tournament, suffering his heaviest ever defeat in the | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
competition in the process. The 2006 champ lost 10-1 to England's | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
Joe Perry. Dott says he could not believe how badly he played - and | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
that he would have conceded the match, were it not punishable by a | :24:25. | :24:35. | |
:24:35. | :24:36. | ||
fine. That terrible day at the office for him. We have all had | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
them! Now, what do you get if you cross a | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
fighter jet, a formula one racing car and a rocket? The answer is a | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
supersonic car that is, hopefully, capable of travelling at 1,000 | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
miles per hour. And one of the most vital components of the Bloodhound | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
car is being made in Scotland. The vehicle and its driver were in | :24:54. | :25:03. | |
Edinburgh today. Cameron Buttle went along to see them. You are | :25:03. | :25:11. | |
looking at the business end of the supersonic car, the Bloodhound. The | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
aim is to travel more than 1,000 miles per hour. You would think you | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
needed a fighter pilot to drive something like that. You actually | :25:22. | :25:30. | |
already had a record for the land speed record. Yes, we have the land | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
speed record at 763 miles per hour. Why are we doing another one? Well, | :25:37. | :25:47. | |
:25:47. | :25:49. | ||
we think the 1,000 mile an hour barrier is the next big mark. It is | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
also very good from an educational point of view it, in terms of the | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
mathematics and Engineering, and we're hoping to sign up many more | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
schools to call and joiners on this Engineering and venture over the | :26:02. | :26:12. | |
:26:12. | :26:17. | ||
next three years. The total for the package, 133,000 horsepower, | :26:17. | :26:25. | |
Edinburgh to Glasgow in three minutes. We are delighted to say | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
that for the exact specification of the real, we have come to Scotland. | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
Castle Engineering are making the most amazing 1,000 miles per hour | :26:36. | :26:42. | |
wheels for us. If you want to look at the car, it is a coin from | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
Edinburgh to Glasgow - not in three minutes, I should add, and you can | :26:47. | :26:54. | |
see it at during the next few days. I think we need on board that to | :26:54. | :27:04. | |
:27:04. | :27:11. | ||
Now, you can see this rain has been pushed in by these easterly winds. | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
You can see we have the yellow warning from the Met Office for | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
this continuing rain. Overnight, you can see this train pushing and | :27:21. | :27:29. | |
from the north-east and present its way across the country. On the West, | :27:29. | :27:35. | |
a dry night should be in prospect, with temperatures staying up around | :27:35. | :27:44. | |
five or six degrees Celsius. Overnight, very difficult driving | :27:44. | :27:49. | |
on the east side of the country in particular, and from the east down | :27:49. | :27:55. | |
to the Borders. Tomorrow, starting brighter in the West, with this | :27:55. | :27:59. | |
rain beginning to gradually spread from the East throughout the | :27:59. | :28:05. | |
country. Many areas in the east and north-east having very heavy rain. | :28:05. | :28:14. | |
The best of the weather probably in the Western head a violence. -- at | :28:14. | :28:21. | |
the western Highlands. End the east and north-east, we could see some | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
localised flooding and there are flood alerts in parts of the | :28:24. | :28:34. | |
:28:34. | :28:37. | ||
country. Overnight, Thursday to Friday, the rain will move further | :28:37. | :28:47. | |
:28:47. | :28:47. | ||
south, and on Friday, something of the North-South split. As we head | :28:47. | :28:52. | |
towards the weekend, and improving picture for nearly all of us. There | :28:52. | :28:57. | |
will be plenty of dry and bright weather around, but tomorrow, wet | :28:57. | :29:01. | |
and windy. Britain is back in recession. The | :29:01. | :29:04. | |
latest figures showed the economy shrunk by 0.2% in the last three | :29:04. | :29:09. | |
months. Labour leader Ed Miliband said this new period of recession | :29:09. | :29:15. | |
was "made in Downing Street". David Cameron acknowledged the figures | :29:15. | :29:17. | |
were disappointing, but said the government would stick to its plans | :29:17. | :29:21. | |
to reduce the deficit. American tycoon Donald Trump has | :29:21. | :29:24. | |
claimed he was lured into investing in Scotland by two First Ministers | :29:24. | :29:30. | |
- Alex Salmond and his predecessor Jack McConnell. The businessman | :29:30. | :29:33. | |
told MSPs at Holyrood that he had been given assurances that an | :29:33. | :29:36. |
