Hello and welcome to the programme. The headlines: fight years for | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
these two men for sending parcel bombs to Celtic's Neil Lennon. | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
The club says it sent a signal to others that this kind of behaviour | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
will not be tolerated. The Blue Knights and the Sale | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
Sharks joined forces in a bid to buy Rangers Football Club. | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
Hollywood comes to Edinburgh as the stars of a new film promote the | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
true story of the Scott are forced to help build the Thai Burma | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
Railway during World War Two. found them both nothing but a | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
delight, and you do feel at times a little overwhelmed by the enormity | :00:55. | :01:02. | |
of the story. And also tonight, this Edinburgh | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
policeman steps into the boxing ring for charity against the twice | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
former heavyweight champion Tim Witherspoon. | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
To Ayrshire men have been jailed for five years each for sending | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
parcel bombs to the Celtic manager Neil Lennon and two prominent fans | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
of the club. The judge at the High Court in Glasgow said the actions | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
of a 44-year-old Trevor Muirhead and Neil McKenzie, who is 42, were | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
incomprehensible. He said he could not fathom what was in their minds | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
when they sent the packages. They have supportive and | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
affectionate partners, children and families, today Trevor Muirhead's | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
wife walked away from court alone, Neil McKenzie's brother gave this | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
reaction. It is not justice. Did they listen to what was said in | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
court? Know. The judge said it was incomprehensible that two such | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
family men in their 40s could engage in such reckless and serious | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
criminal conduct. Sentencing Trevor Muirhead and Neil | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
McKenzie to five years each in prison, the judge told them they | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
could have expected likely sentences of hears it into double | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
figures for the crime they were convicted of, but he said it was | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
immediately obvious to him that he was not dealing with what would | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
properly be thought of as acts of terrorism in any sense at all. | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
The judge said, I cannot fathom what was in your mind to act as you | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
do it. Last month, the men were found | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
guilty of plotting to severely injure the Celtic manager Neil | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
Lennon, the late Paul McBride QC and the former MSP Trish Godman. | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
Five suspicious packages were set in total for the post in Ayrshire | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
where the men left, two of them to Mr Lennon. CCTV should Neil | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
McKenzie buying items for the packages which included cheap | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
watches, nails and peroxide. During the trial, MacKenzie said he | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
learned how to make the device is in part by watching the television | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
show the 18th. Initially, the pair had been charged with conspiracy to | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
murder. The packages they made were not viable, another school or -- a | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
tiny amount of explosives were find that in only one of the packages, | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
and there were no detonators so they face the West -- lesser charge | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
of conspiracy to assault. Neil Lennon said he was disturbed to | :03:25. | :03:35. | |
:03:35. | :03:39. | ||
find he had been targeted. Celtic Tonight, these two family men, no | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
it may be years before they will be back home. A reckless crime that | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
has cost them dear. The Blue Knights consortium led by | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
Paul Murray and Brian Kennedy, owner of the book beating Sale | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
Sharks have joined forces to make an offer for Rangers. Our football | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
correspondent joins us. This could be very significant, it is about on | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
the table. Kennedy and Murray announced they were joining forces, | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
and after the company that provided working capital to Craig Whyte | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
announced they were pulling out, Brian Kennedy as you mentioned the | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
aura of Sale Sharks, has already had a soul did not back. He said he | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
was never keen to be part of a consortium, but appears to have | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
changed his mind on that. They say the bet is substantial, but also | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
say that any it is conditional on a CVA, that is where creditors agree | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
to take one be so much on the pound, been approved by the creditors and | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
Mr White's shares being acquired. That could be the tricky part. | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
I also spoke to Paul Murray just a few moments ago and he told me that | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
the bet is bigger than that of Bill Miller, the American who has | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
another bed on the table. He is looking to take the club and | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
liquidate its in some form and bring back Rangers in some form of | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
new company. Paul Miller and the Abu -- Paul Murray and the Blue | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
Knights have always been against this and say that as far as they | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
are concerned that a new company is a new company and you can dress it | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
up whatever way you like. No word yet this evening from Bill Miller. | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
What about the administrators? are expecting a statement from them | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
this evening. It is unclear exactly what it will say. I do not believe | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
they will announce the preferred bidder this evening, so it is | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
awaiting game for Paul Murray and Brian Kennedy. | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
You are watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come: calls | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
for the scheme to keep youngsters in school and out of trouble, they | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
have been extended across the country. | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
In sport, Ally McCoist has no regrets about calling for the SFA's | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
judicial panel to be named, despite the repercussions could. Find out | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
why. We are in Dublin with Edinburgh rugby and this little | :05:58. | :06:05. | |
fellow ahead of the biggest game in the club's history. | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
The Chief Inspector of Scottish presence is calling for the | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
creation of behaviour units in more schools to prevent young people | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
from ending up behind bars. The proposal from Brigadier she Munro | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
as a response to a report on page unit at Dunfermline High School | :06:19. | :06:28. | |
which is credited with turning round the troubled pupils. | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
An ordinary classroom with something extraordinary going on. | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
Through talk, schoolwork and visits to places like prison, this unit is | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
preventing some from joining others in going off the rails. They all | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
dropped out of school in fourth gear, not at college or doing | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
anything. They are just going out and misbehaving and getting in | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
trouble. Hopefully I will not go to jail, and making sure I don't. | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
not standing up here and writing all day! It is staffed by an | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
organisation that works with young people in trouble. We have built up | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
relationships between them and the unit's staff, in a way that perhaps | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
teachers cannot do. Pupils do not feel able to make those | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
relationships with teachers, despite her best efforts. | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
efforts are having an impact. The number of exclusions has dropped by | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
72%. It was one of the pupils that sense | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
that a place like this can change lives, every school should have won. | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
It is an message heard by prison chiefs. Dunfermline High School | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
annual cost for this unit was �28,000 the year lonely, or | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
thereabouts, the cost of a present place at the young offenders' | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
institute is over �30,000 per prisoner. That seems to me to be a | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
pretty good deal. The unit appeared to benefit more | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
than just the young people in it. By removing the people it does | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
allowed us to get on with her work as well. It means that those who | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
are comfortable working in a normal class situation can do that | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
undisrupted, and those who do need that additional extra support can | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
get that through the inclusion Unit scheme. Let's name successful | :08:13. | :08:20. | |
people. Provision for pending exams, the class is disruption three. | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
Today's report appears to confirm that a behavioural unit staffed by | :08:23. | :08:31. | |
professional staff from an outside agency can benefit the whole school. | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
The trial of the Elgin businessman Nat Fraser has heard that he | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
confessed to a friend that he had murdered his wife 14 years ago. | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
Hector Dick told the High Court in Edinburgh that Mr Fraser said the | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
body was burnt at the would be no DNA. Nat Fraser denies murdering | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
his wife Arlene and has lodged a special defence of recrimination, | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
saying that if Arlene was murdered then Hector Dick was responsible. | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
Now to next week's council elections and another of her pieces | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
are looking at crucial councils. Today, Edinburgh. Local politics in | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
the capital has been overshadowed Claudia's by the debacle of the | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
trams. All main parties are keen to focus the minds of voters on | :09:12. | :09:22. | |
:09:22. | :09:22. | ||
Thursday on a wider range of issues. Will it succeed? For rival | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
candidates, campaigning could be adding to his business. A new | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
leader required for the Conservatives! So candidates may be | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
hoping that voters do not keep their mind on the road either. At | :09:37. | :09:45. | |
least these roads. Almost everyone has a view on the trams. Terrible. | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
But will the trams fiasco p a big factor in the council election? For | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
candidates, it is not so much do not mention the trams as it is | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
remember that this election is about more than just the trams. | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
am not finding the trams particularly important. We're | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
fighting this election on issues that I think matter to people, that | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
they tell us matter to them, about the education of children and the | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
state of their schools. The culture and leisure facilities in the city. | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
The economic competitiveness of the city. The council has been run for | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
the past five years by the Liberal Democrats and the SNP in coalition. | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
They say they work well together for the most part. So just how do | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
they compete against one another now? We watch to tell the people of | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
Edinburgh that we have the -- we have been the junior partner so far | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
and we believe we have punched above our weight, and be believe | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
that if we are returned to the council is the senior partner in a | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
coalition that we can take the city forward. And of course, the economy | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
is the byword for this. Labour hope they might become the biggest party | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
again. The Tories and the Greens are fighting hard, too. We will | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
bring priorities back down to being controlled by local people, not by | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
bureaucrats or politicians in the city Chambers. We will make | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
Edinburgh council the first co- operative Council in Scotland where | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
local residents will have a much bigger say. We are offering a | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
return to Conservative commonsense and value for money it from the | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
council. There is a feeling that the Lib Dem SNP and penetration are | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
not delivering on the basics. Degrees what an end to and the | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
current situation and what to secure jobs and renewable energies, | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
and we want to protect council assets like schools and leisure | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
facilities. The parties all say that Thursday | :11:30. | :11:37. | |
is not a vote for the trams, but will voters see it that way? | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
I looked out at what else has been happening across the country this | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
Friday. Aberdeen's crime rate has been | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
slashed over the past five years according to Grampian police. They | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
say it reported incidents of vandalism, violence, vehicle crime | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
and housebreaking have plummeted. At training yacht with 60 people on | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
board including 11 children sparked a rescue operation of I or my | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
yesterday. The Albert venture was drifting after becoming entangled | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
in a rope. Com or Sherborne and NATO exercise stood by as lifeboats | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
went to help. -- Khan warship. Glasgow is bidding to host the | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
World Track Cycling sapping chipped in 2016. The event will be held in | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
the Sir Chris Hoy velodrome. The track is being laid for the 2014 | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
Commonwealth Games. We would have every cyclist across the planet | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
come here, lot of media and TV interests. It would bring us world | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
attention. And you visitor attraction which allows people to | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
watch rare red kite up close has been opened in the Highlands. The | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
distinctive birds of prey were hunted to extinction in Scotland in | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
the 1870s, they were reintroduced 20 years ago. This is a fantastic | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
place to see them, there are a number of red kite pairs nesting | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
around here. We have created a feeding station where the kite can | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
come in. There are more stories from you in there and all of the | :13:08. | :13:15. | |
latest news 24 hours a day on the BBC Scotland website. | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
Actor Colin Firth said he is overwhelmed by his latest film role. | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
Playing a real life Scott PoW. The actor plays Eric Lomax, who was one | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
of thousands of prisoners forced to build the Thai Burma Railway in the | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
1940s. Eric Lomax is now living in the Scottish Borders and later went | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
on to meet and forgive one of his captors. | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
Another day, another Hollywood movie begins filming in Scotland. | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
Behind the glitz, a real man and a true story. The film is based on | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
the memoirs of Scots prisoner-of- war and Eric Lomax, one of | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
thousands forced to build the infamous Burma railway line. At a | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
quarter of prisoners died, and many were tortured. Although Eric Lomax | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
arrived, it was at great cost. Now in his 97 living in the borders, he | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
has met Colin Firth and help to tackle an over on a story. Because | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
the story is such a big one, and it is about a generation prior to my | :14:17. | :14:25. | |
home, it can feel a little abstract. It can feel a bit out of reach. | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
That is something I think we are struggling with all the time. To | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
actually meet him personally humanised it all. He is a human | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
being, he is not an iconic representation of an event. | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
film also focuses on Eric's a extraordinary decision to meet and | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
reconcile with one of his tormentors. It was his wife Patti | :14:44. | :14:54. | |
:14:54. | :15:02. | ||
who was instrumental in that. She I found the subject matter very | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
moving and the power of loving someone through trauma, I found | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
that appealing and I could relate to it. So, I thought this would be | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
something I would be honoured to do. Filming has already begun in | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
Edinburgh and will continue until it transfers to Thailand and then | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
Australia. It is hoped that this extraordinary story of courage and | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
endurance and forgiveness will be brought to new generations. | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
What an amazing story. Here is David now with the sport. Thank you | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
very much. Alan McCoist says he stands by his demands for the | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
identities of an independent tribunal to be made public. Rangers | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
were handed a 12 month transfer embargo by the three-man panel, who | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
have since been named on the internet and subjected to abuse. | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
That has led to calls for the football authorities to defuse the | :15:53. | :16:03. | |
:16:03. | :16:04. | ||
mayhem. Rarely have preparations for an Old Firm game that been the | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
subject of such little attention. Instead the focus is on that | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
Rangers's off field issues. A transfer embargo is the most recent | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
of their wallets. Ally McCoist demanded to know the identities of | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
those to make that decision and was obliged on social network sites. | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
One was the Wraith Rovers director Eric Drysdale who has since been | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
subjected to abuse. Does Ally McCoist regret his choice of words? | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
Her not to tall. A lot of people misinterpreted my statement as some | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
form of apology. It is anything but. I stand by everything I said. I was | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
delighted to see Mr Drysdale come out and disagree with my comments. | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
I have nothing but their utmost respect for him now I know who he | :16:55. | :17:03. | |
is. Rangers supporters are furious that ending up as collateral damage. | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
-- Wraith Rovers. They called on the football authorities to defuse | :17:07. | :17:15. | |
the current mayhem. Why is it not enough that the club know you as | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
taking the decisions? Everyone should know, there should be | :17:19. | :17:26. | |
transparency and clarity. That is not working. We know but you do not, | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
that is not right. Everybody should know. Now everyone does and | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
probably we have not heard the last of this subject. | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
Edinburgh Rugby are preparing for the biggest match in their history. | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
They play Ulster tomorrow in Dublin for a place in the final of the | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
sport's Heineken European Cup. Edinburgh are very much the | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
underdogs but that is just the way they seem to like it as Jim Mason | :17:48. | :17:57. | |
reports from Dublin. A musical welcome awaits Edinburgh rugby fans | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
on Grafton Street. Today is a chance to savour the atmosphere and | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
tomorrow it is down to business. Edinburgh left this morning knowing | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
it is the biggest game in their history. Things happen in sport and | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
at the moment we have momentum and confidence, we are a dangerous side | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
and we have confidence. I would not like to be playing as, there is no | :18:19. | :18:27. | |
guarantee we will win but if we perform we have a good chance. | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
believe that Edinburgh Rugby wears the underdog tag well. Given their | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
performance this season, I expect the expectation is for them to | :18:35. | :18:43. | |
progress to the final. We can take that. In Dublin, both sets of fans | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
expect a close game. Whenever Ulster are favourites, they make a | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
mess of it. Iron way when they are called favourites but, yes, the way | :18:55. | :19:02. | |
they had been going, beating Munster, they have to be favourites. | :19:02. | :19:10. | |
There is something there. I think the players have it in them. Come | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
full time tomorrow, Edinburgh will be hoping for a Heineken Cup crock | :19:15. | :19:24. | |
of gold. Listen to live coverage of the match tomorrow at 5:00pm. Andy | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
Murray has failed to reach the last four of the Barcelona Masters | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
tennis. He was beaten by the 9th seed, Milos Raonic in straight sets | :19:30. | :19:40. | |
today. The Canadian winning 6-4, 7- 6. It is the second successive week | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
the world No. 4 has been beaten at the quarter-final stage of a clay- | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
court tournament as his preparations for next month's | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
French Open in Paris continue. The two greatest Scottish snooker | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
players of all time are playing against one another for the first | :19:52. | :20:00. | |
time ever in a world championship. Seven time winner Stephen Hendry is | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
ahead at the moment. He is 5-3 up on four-time winner and defending | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
Champ John Higgins. However, it is the best of 25 frames and the match | :20:06. | :20:16. | |
:20:16. | :20:16. | ||
resumes at 7pm. That is the sport tonight. | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
We stay with sport, with news of an unlikely boxing match. In one | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
corner a police officer from Edinburgh who is a complete novice | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
- in the other a former world heavyweight champion. This weekend | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
Detective Constable Steve Livingstone is stepping into the | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
ring with the American Tim Witherspoon - and it is all for | :20:33. | :20:43. | |
:20:43. | :20:45. | ||
charity. In a gymnasium in Edinburgh, a boxer works at the | :20:45. | :20:51. | |
back. Steve Livingstone is new to the sports and on Sunday he takes | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
on the twice former world heavyweight champion, Tim | :20:55. | :21:04. | |
Witherspoon. This is the man he will be boxing - Tim Witherspoon, | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
now aged 54. The least I could do was prepared to get into the ring | :21:10. | :21:19. | |
with him and ask him why I. What on earth possessed you to get into the | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
ring with a former head they won't -- heavyweight will champion? | :21:25. | :21:33. | |
are some excellent charities and doing it for her. -- I am doing it | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
for. It is labelled the Battle of the badge between Lothian And | :21:39. | :21:46. | |
Borders Police and the New York police department. He was not told | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
to his opponent would be. When I told him it was Tim Witherspoon, I | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
could feel the trepidation in his voice but their excitement after | :21:54. | :22:01. | |
that was outstanding. At six foot five, he is no weakling but he | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
admits his boxing skills are puny. I had seen and fight on YouTube and | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
some exhibitions and he knows exactly what he is doing. He will | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
be able to avoid anything I throw at him. He will have no trouble | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
avoiding me as an ex-world champion. If a guy comes out to hurt me, I | :22:23. | :22:30. | |
will let him know! Bank! As he completes his preparations, a | :22:30. | :22:40. | |
tricky dilemma, he wants to do well but perhaps not too well. | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
Before the weather, a reminder that our money expert will be back a | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
week on Wednesday. He will answer questions on tax and any problems | :22:48. | :22:57. | |
you might have with tax codes. Let you might have with tax codes. Let | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
us see how the weekend weather is shaping up. | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
Not too bad at all, hello there. It is in a day of sunshine and showers | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
across Scotland. We can see the showers making their way towards | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
the south. We will continue to see a few in the Central Belt and | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
borders over the next couple of hours, but they will fade away this | :23:19. | :23:27. | |
evening. It will be dry and cold and frosty. It will be a dry night, | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
at clear and cold. Temperatures down to one Celsius. Some parts of | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
the countryside will be down to minus two. A widespread frost as | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
well. It stars dry and chilly tomorrow but bright. It will remain | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
that way for much of the day. Plenty of sunshine in the forecast. | :23:46. | :23:53. | |
There will be some cloud but not bad at all. Come mid-afternoon, | :23:53. | :24:02. | |
highs of 11 Celsius. In the sunshine, it will feel pretty good. | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
Further north, highs of nine or eight Celsius. Show risk is minimal, | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
more likely in the north-west and down the east coast and perhaps | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
over Shetland. If you're hill walking or climbing up in the West, | :24:17. | :24:24. | |
the summits will be cold. Plenty of sunshine around and winds will be | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
light from a northerly direction. Across the Cairngorms, we could see | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
the odd light shower. Plenty of dry and bright weather around there as | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
well. Unusually, we have skiing forecast because we have seen a lot | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
of snow, especially over the Cairngorms. It is worth checking to | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
see which runs will be open and the visibility will be fantastic. Your | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
last chance for a bit of skiing. Overnight on Saturday, dry and cold | :24:53. | :25:00. | |
once again with a widespread frost. Into Sunday, all that rain down | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
south and low-pressure but nothing to do with us, we have high | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
pressure and plenty of sunshine. Saturday and sunshine do not look | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
bad at all. The northern part of the country holds on to the | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
sunshine, clouding over in the South, perhaps some rain but not | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
until after dusk. The rain spreads towards us for Monday but it is | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
appears for Tuesday and Wednesday as high pressure re-establishes | :25:27. | :25:37. | |
:25:37. | :25:39. | ||
itself. Enjoy the weekend. Just before 7pm, a summary of our top | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
before 7pm, a summary of our top stories. Two men have been jailed | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
for five years each for sending parcel bombs to Celtic manager, | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
Neil Lennon and two prominent fans of the club. The judge said the | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
actions of Trevor Muirhead and Neil McKenzie were incomprehensible. | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
The Blue Knights consortium led by Paul Murray and Brian Kennedy, the | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
owner of the rugby team Sale Sharks have joined forces to make an offer | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
for Rangers. Ticketus, who had been part of the Blue Knights group, | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
earlier withdrew their commitment to fund a takeover bid. | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
An inquest into the death of MI6 officer Gareth Williams, whose body | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
was found padlocked inside a bag heard two expert witnesses tried | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
hundreds of times to lock themselves into a similar bag and | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
failed. One said Mr Williams could have locked himself into it but | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
only with considerable difficulty. Barclays shareholders have revolted | :26:19. | :26:26. |
