Welcome to Reporting Scotland, as heavy rain and flooding hits the

:00:14.:00:20.

country again. Residents in this Fife village had a lucky escape, as

:00:20.:00:22.

floodwaters seriously damaged houses trapping people in their

:00:22.:00:32.
:00:32.:00:33.

homes. The damage is huge. I'm missing half my house, missing half

:00:33.:00:38.

the road, my neighbours, nothing's left. And this is the scene tonight

:00:38.:00:41.

in Stonehaven in Aberdeenshire, where the River Carron is in danger

:00:41.:00:44.

of breaking its banks. We're live there and we'll have a full weather

:00:44.:00:48.

forecast at the end of the programme. Also tonight: Anger as

:00:48.:00:51.

energy companies put up their prices again - the Scottish

:00:51.:00:56.

Government calls for an urgent meeting. He's Scotland's best-known

:00:56.:00:58.

architect now the magic of Charles Rennie Mackintosh is brought to

:00:59.:01:08.
:01:09.:01:10.

life in a new Glasgow festival. And David Currie's in Cardiff tonight.

:01:10.:01:15.

Yes, it is Wales versus Scotland in the World Cup Qualifiers, both

:01:15.:01:21.

teams under pressure. I will have all the news and views a little

:01:21.:01:24.

later. 35 flood warnings are currently in place across the

:01:24.:01:26.

country. The North-East, Tayside, Caithness and the Borders appear to

:01:27.:01:29.

be the worst affected by the torrential rain. Residents in

:01:29.:01:31.

Stonehaven have spent the day barricading their homes, because of

:01:32.:01:34.

fears that a local river would burst its banks. Our coverage

:01:34.:01:44.
:01:44.:01:49.

begins tonight in Stonehaven, where Steven Duff is there for us. Well

:01:49.:01:55.

lot of nervousness for people here throughout the day as the river

:01:55.:02:00.

Carron rose to dangerous levels. At one point on the verge of bursting

:02:00.:02:05.

its banks. But levels have reduced. It is low tide now, high tide again

:02:05.:02:10.

at midnight. So there is still concern and concern increased,

:02:10.:02:16.

because it is not first time there have been flooding problems here.

:02:16.:02:21.

People in Stonehaven know what damage water can do to their homes.

:02:21.:02:27.

Mid morning and high tide is just an hour away. It comes from the

:02:27.:02:32.

front of the street to the back of the street and then comes under the

:02:32.:02:38.

old houses. That is your daughter's house? Yes. She is just coming back

:02:38.:02:45.

from work now. Officials were worried about water levels on the

:02:45.:02:50.

River Carron. These streets flooded three years ago. Today, there was

:02:50.:02:54.

more warning. Everyone seemed better prepared. Good job you have

:02:54.:03:02.

friends at a time like this. Sandra's daughter's home was

:03:02.:03:07.

flooded in 2009, the consequences - a lot of damage and insurers taking

:03:07.:03:12.

months to pay out. Maybe it will be OK if the tide goes down.

:03:12.:03:17.

flooded the last time? Yes up to the front window. You have

:03:17.:03:22.

everything stacked high? I have been chucking things out like crazy.

:03:22.:03:29.

By the mid afternoon, water levels had eased, prekaigss will stay in

:03:29.:03:35.

place over night. -- precautions. The rain has been mofrg up the east

:03:35.:03:42.

coast all day. It was fif that bore the brunt this morning. -- Fife.

:03:42.:03:48.

When the rain falls, high ground is the traditional sanctuary, but not

:03:48.:03:54.

in this village, where residents woke to scenes they could hardly

:03:54.:03:59.

believe. If you look up the road in Dura Den, you get an idea of the

:03:59.:04:04.

power of the water. Normally the river would go around the back of

:04:04.:04:09.

the houses, but a slues gate got blocked and the water has destroyed

:04:09.:04:13.

this property and left people trapped in that property. As they

:04:13.:04:22.

worked out a rescue plan, rescue teams whated to deal with downed

:04:22.:04:26.

power lines. Water level is a foot and a half deeper and it was coming

:04:26.:04:31.

down at the same pressure and flow. So it was a precarious situation

:04:31.:04:36.

for our guys. Others could only look on as their property and

:04:36.:04:43.

belongings fell victim to the water. The damage is huge. Missing half my

:04:43.:04:47.

house, I'm missing the whole road, my neighbours. I'm missing

:04:47.:04:52.

everything. Nothing's left. The damage inside the house as well.

:04:52.:04:58.

The whole bottom floor of one of them is a river now. It has taken

:04:58.:05:03.

the plaster board and everything. It is pouring out of cracks of the

:05:03.:05:09.

walls on the outside. On the the other house, my basement is a

:05:09.:05:14.

swimming pool. The rain disappeared as quickly as it arrived, but here

:05:14.:05:24.
:05:24.:05:25.

the impact will be felt for some time to come. This was not so much

:05:25.:05:29.

a winter storm, but persistent rain that will go on to tomorrow. By

:05:29.:05:37.

then the forecasters say it will be 24 hours of solid rain. More than

:05:37.:05:41.

30 flood warnings are still in place and in stone haven,

:05:41.:05:45.

conditions have eased, but high tide is expected again at midnight

:05:45.:05:53.

and the bar kaids and the sandbags will stay in place as a precautions.

:05:53.:05:58.

-- barricades. Thank you. Within the last hour it has been confirmed

:05:58.:06:00.

that all the outstanding issues relating to a deal on the

:06:00.:06:02.

independence referendum have been resolved. Our Westminster

:06:02.:06:09.

Correspondent Tim Reid joins me now. Is it then, all barriers gone?

:06:09.:06:14.

Barring any last minute problems, we can almost guarantee there will

:06:14.:06:17.

be a referendum what remains is for the First Minister and the Prime

:06:17.:06:20.

Minister to sign on the dotted line and we expect that to happen on

:06:20.:06:26.

Monday. What we have seen today is the coming to fruition of months of

:06:26.:06:29.

negotiations between the two governments about the rules for the

:06:30.:06:34.

referendum. There will be a single question. There were issues about

:06:34.:06:38.

the funding for the parties during the campaign that. Seems to have

:06:38.:06:42.

been agreed. We will find out the fine print in the coming days. But

:06:42.:06:47.

what remains is after that a 100- week campaign and Scotland will

:06:47.:06:51.

decide whether it is in or out of the United Kingdom. Thank you.

:06:51.:06:54.

You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on the

:06:54.:07:01.

programme: The magic of Charles Rennie Mackintosh is brought to

:07:01.:07:06.

life in a new festival in Glasgow. All we need ahead of tonight's

:07:06.:07:09.

qualifier against Wales. We'll be hearing from the Scotland manager

:07:09.:07:13.

and the captain and we'll also be hearing from some members of the

:07:13.:07:22.

Tartan Army, so join me here later. Should be interesting, please join

:07:22.:07:27.

me later. There will be groans, dismay, perhaps anxiety in many

:07:27.:07:30.

households tonight at the news that the biggest supplier of gas and

:07:30.:07:32.

electricity in Scotland is putting its prices up. British Gas, which

:07:33.:07:36.

trades here as Scottish Gas, says prices will go up by 6% in November.

:07:36.:07:38.

Other major suppliers have also announced hikes. Here's Lisa

:07:38.:07:48.
:07:48.:07:53.

Summers. Margey's worried about her bills. My gas bill for this one

:07:53.:07:58.

bedroom flat had almost reached �100 a month. That is quite a chunk

:07:58.:08:03.

of my salary. So you start to look around and think of things you can

:08:03.:08:09.

co-to -- do to cut down. I have a dish washer, reports said it uses a

:08:09.:08:14.

lot of electricity so, we have got rid of that. I know when I leave

:08:14.:08:20.

the room I switch the light off and I don't have my heating on unless

:08:20.:08:25.

it is absolutely necessary. Sles now getting other loft insue lated.

:08:25.:08:31.

But her bill be be around the average at �1,300 a year. She wants

:08:31.:08:36.

to know why she and others have to take the hit. I understand that.

:08:36.:08:42.

But we have to recognise that North Sea gas is running out. The days of

:08:42.:08:46.

cheap energy are gone. We need a new investment and that investment

:08:47.:08:51.

has to come from somewhere and be paid for. We're playing our part in

:08:51.:08:57.

that. Some don't see that it way, Scottish gas's parent company

:08:57.:09:05.

reported a 23% rise in profits of its residential energy division.

:09:05.:09:09.

They say wholesale prices have been going up. But we don't see a

:09:09.:09:14.

justification for the level of increase. There are other factors

:09:14.:09:19.

like network charge increasing and the cost of warm home initiatives

:09:19.:09:24.

but not these levels of increase. One in three households in Scotland

:09:24.:09:28.

live in fuel poverty. The Scottish Government said it will make things

:09:28.:09:34.

worse. For each 5% increase, 46,000 people are plunged into fuel

:09:34.:09:38.

poverty. I will be seeking to speak to the energy companies about these

:09:38.:09:43.

rises. So its not looking bright, with food prices on the ride as

:09:43.:09:50.

well, we will all be -- rise we will all digging deep. Violent and

:09:50.:09:53.

anti-social crime down by almost 50%. No gang fights for more than

:09:53.:09:56.

two years. These are the results of a ground-breaking project in

:09:56.:09:59.

Glasgow which the Chief Constable of the new Police Service of

:09:59.:10:02.

Scotland wants to roll out to other parts of the country. Our Home

:10:02.:10:08.

Affairs Correspondent, Reevel Alderson reports. Thousand tackle

:10:08.:10:11.

anti-social behaviour and gang violence? These children would in

:10:11.:10:15.

the past have been lightly candidates to join gangs, but no

:10:15.:10:21.

longer. This is part of a smart approach to violence and ending

:10:21.:10:26.

Scotland's gang culture. It appears to be working. Violence in north

:10:26.:10:35.

and east Glasgow has reduced by 46% and police say there has not ban

:10:35.:10:42.

gang fight here for two years and flash back 40 years ago, when the

:10:42.:10:45.

singer Frankie Vaughan tried to persuade gang members to hands in

:10:45.:10:51.

their weapons. It had little effect. But a scheme from America seems to

:10:51.:10:56.

be successful. It turned out you can sit the gang sters down and

:10:56.:11:00.

have their own people tell them that their own community needs them

:11:00.:11:05.

to stop what thai doing. You can offer them help and a way out and

:11:05.:11:11.

put them on personal prior notice about what will happen if they

:11:11.:11:17.

don't stop. This is part of the new approach, the children from this

:11:17.:11:19.

school learn to respect the emergency services and the value 06

:11:19.:11:24.

looking after their own community. It will show there is more to life

:11:24.:11:29.

than getting involved in violence and anti-social behaviour. And it

:11:29.:11:33.

makes the jobs of firefighter and the other agencies easier. They can

:11:33.:11:39.

then co-their -- do their job on a daily basis without the threat of

:11:39.:11:45.

being attacked. Poster campaigns can have only so much impact. What

:11:45.:11:50.

is needed is positive action on the ground. In his first speech since

:11:50.:11:53.

being appointed, the Chief Constable of the new police service

:11:53.:11:57.

said he would like to extend the project to other parts of the

:11:57.:12:03.

country plagued by gang violence. It would be necessary to use it in

:12:03.:12:06.

hotspots where there is gang activity. But there is gang

:12:06.:12:11.

activity in other parts. We would like to use it where it has most

:12:11.:12:16.

effect. It is a very intensive application of resources. This

:12:16.:12:22.

projects has cost �4.8 million, but cut violence and that cuts the

:12:22.:12:27.

costs to society. A look now at what else has been happening across

:12:27.:12:34.

the country this Friday. The deaths of two men whose bodies were found

:12:34.:12:41.

in a house in Blantyre this week remain unexplained, despite

:12:41.:12:44.

postmortems. Dominic Patterson 5 Colin Campbell were found on

:12:44.:12:50.

Tuesday. The owners of Halls meat processors say they're considering

:12:50.:12:59.

two bids for the plant. Two teenage girls are among 13 people taken to

:13:00.:13:05.

hospital in Glasgow in the last three month after taking a so-

:13:05.:13:10.

called legal high. Police are warning about the substance known

:13:10.:13:17.

as Annihilation. And a inn new scheme is improving broad band in

:13:17.:13:22.

remote areas. Experts have developed a network for the islands.

:13:22.:13:31.

We have a relay station on a local hillside, and everyone who wants to

:13:31.:13:35.

subscribe has a device installed on their property. And that allows

:13:35.:13:41.

them to connect to the relay station and then that beams the

:13:41.:13:51.
:13:51.:13:57.

Before Royal Marine has admitted causing a blast at a block of flats

:13:57.:14:00.

and Dundee using a hair gel top stuff of explosives. No one was

:14:00.:14:04.

hurt. Health experts at Argyll and Bute

:14:04.:14:07.

council say enhanced cleaning and disinfection procedures have

:14:07.:14:12.

started at an open hotel. 27 people have symptoms of the winter

:14:12.:14:18.

vomiting bug, nor a virus. Plans for Dundee's 45 million pined

:14:18.:14:21.

V&A Waterfront museum are changing. It is now likely to be built on

:14:21.:14:26.

land next to the Tay, without extending into the river.

:14:26.:14:30.

And there are more stories from your area and all the latest news,

:14:30.:14:34.

24 hours a day, on BBC Scotland's website.

:14:34.:14:38.

Barcelona has Gaudi. Chicago, Frank Lloyd Wright. But does Glasgow do

:14:39.:14:41.

enough to celebrate the homegrown talent of Charles Rennie

:14:41.:14:45.

Mackintosh? A new festival which begins on Monday hopes to put that

:14:45.:14:48.

right, with events in all of his buildings and an exhibition of work

:14:48.:14:58.
:14:58.:15:09.

His work is world famous, but perhaps overlooked by those who

:15:09.:15:14.

live and work around it every day. But this new Festival hopes to put

:15:14.:15:17.

that right, by bringing Mackintosh and his work to life. You will find

:15:17.:15:21.

these factors that many of his buildings, here admiring the

:15:21.:15:26.

buildings he did not build. This state-of-the-art concert will never

:15:26.:15:29.

made it off the drawing board. is the greatest architect Scotland

:15:29.:15:35.

ever had. He is a unique interior designer and artist. He is very

:15:35.:15:44.

special. Scotland and Glasgow should be celebrating that. Dear

:15:44.:15:48.

genius, a plain wonder of the building... Among those paying

:15:48.:15:52.

tribute, Liz Lochhead, who studied in his most famous building,

:15:52.:15:58.

Glasgow School of Art, in the 1960s. It was my working building, my home,

:15:58.:16:02.

I took it for granted. That is a great thing to do, because it is a

:16:02.:16:07.

great space to work in, done by a great architect. As great as Frank

:16:07.:16:12.

Lloyd Wright in Chicago and Gaudi in Barcelona. Three provincial

:16:12.:16:18.

cities that produced the greatest architects this century. It is good

:16:18.:16:26.

to have a celebration of them, whatever the reason.

:16:26.:16:29.

Mackintosh's influence reaches across the arts, in music and

:16:30.:16:33.

poetry, as well as art and design. Which is why so many people are

:16:33.:16:37.

singing his praises more than one century on. Some of the music I

:16:38.:16:46.

will be performing, you see this beautiful, designed covers. They

:16:46.:16:51.

really are, works of art. It was all interlinked, what was happening.

:16:51.:16:54.

Walking down the streets, seeing a building, ports run Spiers,

:16:54.:16:59.

composers were inspired. His moment in the spotlight begins on Monday

:16:59.:17:02.

and if successful, it is that the festival will become an annual

:17:02.:17:06.

event. Sport now, and David has taken

:17:06.:17:16.

himself off to Cardiff for the Scotland match. Not long to go!

:17:16.:17:21.

Yes, it is Scotland versus Wales here in Carver's -- Cardiff tonight.

:17:21.:17:24.

Scotland are aiming to get their World Cup 2014 campaign back on

:17:24.:17:28.

track tonight as they take on Wales here at the Cardiff City Stadium.

:17:28.:17:30.

Two points from their opening two matches mean Craig Levein's side

:17:30.:17:34.

are a bit better off than tonight's hosts, who have no points at all.

:17:34.:17:36.

So there's pressure on both teams to grab a victory,

:17:36.:17:45.

There were just under 6,000 tickets Scotland have been itching to get

:17:45.:17:49.

back in it after the full-time whistle blew on a second successive

:17:49.:17:55.

home draw. With draws against Serbia and Macedonia, it may not

:17:55.:18:00.

have cast Scotland adrift, but to opening defeats have winded the

:18:00.:18:08.

Welsh. But the pressure is on both managers.

:18:08.:18:12.

The level of patients varies from person to person and we are all

:18:12.:18:20.

under pressure. Sometimes, if you have there bad result, you have to

:18:20.:18:30.

wait a period of time to get a good one. Maybe it is a good thing,

:18:30.:18:35.

because our players around the corner. They have to fight the will

:18:35.:18:39.

to that. History suggests that the pressure

:18:39.:18:42.

is more likely to ease and Coleman tonight, but Scotland suffering

:18:42.:18:47.

some heavy defeats here in recent years, both of the Millennium

:18:47.:18:51.

Stadium and that the game that cost George Burley his job back in

:18:51.:18:56.

tonight's venue. But could Scott and's saviours, in the return of

:18:56.:19:03.

Stephen Fletcher and Darren Fletcher? It will need a good team

:19:03.:19:08.

effort. If it can be a boost to the rest of us, that is great.

:19:08.:19:12.

And victory by small margins or otherwise could even put the Scots

:19:12.:19:22.
:19:22.:19:24.

top of Group A by full time tonight. Well, I have managed to Corral a

:19:24.:19:27.

former Scotland captain, Willie Miller. An onerous to share my

:19:27.:19:34.

umbrella with them. I did have the Scotland team here and there she

:19:34.:19:36.

has disintegrated and the rain, but the big news is that Stephen

:19:36.:19:40.

Fletcher starts up front after 20 months in international wilderness.

:19:40.:19:46.

Also, Chris Commons coming back into the side.

:19:46.:19:53.

It is looking like an experienced side. We have players with proven

:19:53.:20:00.

track records and proven goalscorers. That has got to be a

:20:00.:20:07.

positive. I think Craig Levine has put together a very attack-minded

:20:07.:20:11.

team tonight. It is a team that looked as though it could get a

:20:11.:20:19.

victory. Obviously, the weather is not great. But the team is looking

:20:19.:20:24.

a very positive. Do you believe we can do it

:20:24.:20:27.

tonight? I believe we can. There's enough

:20:27.:20:30.

experience in that team to get as a result.

:20:30.:20:35.

You can have this umbrella. Tedious of strife. I will carry on. There

:20:35.:20:41.

are about 6,000 Scotland fans expected here tonight. And I've

:20:41.:20:44.

been speaking to some members of the Tartan Army throughout the day

:20:44.:20:50.

to gauge their mood ahead of the big match.

:20:50.:20:54.

Cardiff Castle. The number one visitor attraction in the Welsh

:20:54.:20:58.

capital. And not a Scottish person in sight. Apart from the, of

:20:58.:21:02.

course! We have tracked down one member of

:21:02.:21:06.

the Tartan Army here at the Millennium Centre in Cardiff Bay. I

:21:06.:21:16.
:21:16.:21:21.

I, yes, of course. Enjoying a refreshment! You could get done to

:21:21.:21:24.

child cruelty taking your son to a Scotland game, the way we have been

:21:24.:21:29.

playing. You're right! Totally, tonight,

:21:29.:21:37.

there will be a change. We beat them in a Celtic up. We

:21:37.:21:43.

will win tonight. I have a cup feeling and I never wrong.

:21:43.:21:51.

On the back of the paper today, the Welsh paper. But I have some bad

:21:51.:21:58.

news for the Scotland supporters. You're in the grip of death with us.

:21:58.:22:08.

Wales is known that allows the land of song. Until now! Takeaways.

:22:08.:22:18.
:22:18.:22:23.

SINGING.$$NEWLINE Elsewhere, Andy I tell you what, you can hear the

:22:23.:22:33.
:22:33.:22:35.

match live on BBC Radio Scotland. Kick-off is at 7:45pm. I'm away to

:22:35.:22:45.
:22:45.:22:47.

get Willie Miller to get my umbrella back.

:22:47.:22:51.

It was a two and a half year battle, but a Fife community is planning a

:22:52.:22:54.

celebration this weekend after a piece of their local history was

:22:54.:22:57.

finally restored. A 300-year-old wall at Falkland was reduced to

:22:57.:23:00.

rubble by a developer who claimed it was unsafe. It's now been

:23:00.:23:06.

rebuilt and campaigners say it's a victory for people power.

:23:06.:23:11.

This village is an historic place. The folk here are fiercely

:23:11.:23:16.

protective of their heritage. This was the scene on Easter Monday 2010,

:23:16.:23:20.

when villagers heard this war might be demolished after it was deemed

:23:20.:23:27.

unsafe. They thought they had seen off the threat. Three days later,

:23:27.:23:32.

bulldozers had reduced the 300 year-old wall to rubble. I just

:23:32.:23:36.

could not believe that the whole wall had been up to pieces.

:23:36.:23:40.

landowner did not see what all the fuss was about. I do not understand

:23:40.:23:45.

what the fuss is about. It is about safety. The wall features in old

:23:45.:23:48.

pictures of Faulkland and sweeps along the main road into the

:23:48.:23:51.

village. Nobody would know that this is anything that had been here

:23:51.:23:56.

for ever. And now it is back. They community fought and won the battle

:23:56.:23:59.

with Fife Council and the Scottish Government. The development was

:24:00.:24:08.

order to rebuild the Falkland walls. Lots of developers to have power,

:24:08.:24:11.

but they Office to put off more than they can sue for me to come

:24:11.:24:16.

Faulkland. The wall had to be built with new materials as the original

:24:16.:24:20.

stone had been reduced to dust. But traditional techniques were used.

:24:21.:24:25.

We were delighted to be involved in this project and give the local

:24:25.:24:28.

something back it was taken away. Well we can't recreate the history

:24:28.:24:33.

of the war, we have could back a very good will. The developer said

:24:33.:24:37.

they only pulled the ball down because it was unsafe. But the

:24:37.:24:40.

villagers believe their victory is a lesson for other communities. So

:24:40.:24:44.

the Falkland all his back. And the community which have used to

:24:44.:24:48.

grumble when this Wall came tumbling down will be celebrating

:24:48.:24:58.
:24:58.:25:00.

that fact this weekend. Thankfully, the rain is going to

:25:00.:25:04.

ease. The have seen a lot of relentless rain over the last 24

:25:04.:25:10.

Ras, so the Met Office will have an amber warning for parts of the

:25:10.:25:15.

North East. That is for the next few hours. The impact of that rain

:25:15.:25:20.

will lead to further localised flooding through these parts. It is

:25:20.:25:23.

a fairly dry picture through central and southern Scotland. We

:25:23.:25:27.

still have that rain across the North. It is very persistent at the

:25:27.:25:32.

moment but will gradually become lighter. It will extend into Orkney

:25:32.:25:35.

and the West Side of the country overnight. It will stay dry in the

:25:35.:25:41.

south, with even some clear spells leading to temperatures of F seven

:25:42.:25:48.

or eight degrees. Lighter winds elsewhere. The static low-pressure

:25:48.:25:52.

has brought all that rain. It is still with us tomorrow. However, it

:25:52.:25:57.

is a weakening of Fair, thankfully. Tomorrow does start off on a

:25:57.:26:00.

largely cloudy note with some early practice towards the far side. It

:26:00.:26:05.

will be lighter than we have seen of late. The rain will pivot round

:26:05.:26:08.

towards more western areas to the course of the afternoon. The best

:26:08.:26:12.

of the weather tomorrow looks like it will be in Shetland. They have

:26:12.:26:16.

led a charmed life over the last bidets. It will be cloudier to what

:26:16.:26:24.

Orkney. Very little rain along the North coast. Patchy rain in North

:26:24.:26:28.

Argyll and the Inner Hebrides. In the south-west corner, it looks

:26:28.:26:32.

like the best place to be will be in the south-east. Generally, eyes

:26:32.:26:38.

of 10 or 11 Celsius. A much better day in the North East corner. If

:26:38.:26:42.

you're thinking of heading to the hills tomorrow, some early

:26:42.:26:46.

brightness for the border. Fairly Prix see over the top two-tier

:26:47.:26:51.

westerly strong wind. There will be outbreaks of rain in the Argyll

:26:51.:26:55.

hills. Fairly extensive hill fog across more northern Rangers but

:26:55.:27:04.

winds will be light from the East across the tops. We will see rain

:27:04.:27:08.

later in the day. For more than part, we will see easterly, forced

:27:08.:27:13.

four or five, locally six, across Northern Isles. His ability very

:27:13.:27:17.

good as well. The rest of Tamara, that rain will gradually peter out

:27:17.:27:21.

and dry weather will come into the North. Thankfully, Sunday looks

:27:21.:27:24.

better with some patchy rain initially sinking sites. Trier,

:27:24.:27:32.

Now, just before 7 o'clock, a summary of tonight's top stories...

:27:32.:27:34.

35 flood warnings are currently in place across the country. The

:27:34.:27:37.

North-East, Tayside, Caithness and the Borders appear to be the worst

:27:37.:27:46.

affected by the torrential rain. The police are now pursuing 340

:27:46.:27:48.

separate lines of enquiry relating to the former television presenter

:27:48.:27:51.

and DJ, Jimmy Savile. Meanwhile, the BBC has announced two internal

:27:51.:27:53.

inquiries into the scandal. The biggest ever independent

:27:53.:27:55.

investigation into police wrongdoing is to be carried out

:27:55.:27:57.

following a damning report into the Hillsborough disaster.
