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. | |

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. | |

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. | :27:57. | :28:01. |
