Tonight on Reporting Scotland: David Cameron's referendum pledge | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
on Europe. Alex Salmond says it completely changes the debate on | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
Scottish independence. A big fall in the number of jobless | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
here, but still signs of weakness in the economy. | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
The health secretary apologises after this 84-year-old man is left | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
in a hospital corridor for eight hours. I am very angry, not only | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
for my own father but also for the other patients in the corridor. | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
And also in the programme, a caravan parked on a yellow line in | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
Edinburgh at just yards from the traffic wardens' headquarters. But | :00:56. | :01:04. | |
there is nothing they can do about And Andy Murray is through to the | :01:04. | :01:11. | |
semifinals of the Australian Open. Next it is Roger Federer. | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
David Cameron's argument for a referendum on Europe has blown a | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
huge hole in one of the key arguments against an independence | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
referendum here. So says Alex Salmond. The First Minister was | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
reacting to the Prime Minister's call for a vote by the end of 2017 | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
on whether Britain should stay in the European Union. | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
Could he be the Prime Minister who loses Scotland and the European | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
Union? For David Cameron, those are now real risks. His decision to | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
halt and in-out referendum on EU membership, and some of the | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
greatest constitutional questions we face could be asked and answered. | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
Give people the choice. I passionately believe that it should, | :02:00. | :02:08. | |
and I hope that it will stay in the EU. You can put your head in the | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
sand, pretend that somehow this issue will go away, and that | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
somehow a events will turn out all right. I think that is simply | :02:15. | :02:24. | |
incredible. It blows a huge hole in the Unionist parties' arguments. | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
They were arguing that the referendum was delayed. It is next | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
year. Sir Mr Salmond believes one line of attack has now been | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
neutralised. But what is left behind is two competing visions. | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
The SNP believing that Scotland should be independent at the very | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
heart of Europe and the Conservatives saying the EU needs | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
to radically reform will face being left behind. So which vision will | :02:51. | :03:00. | |
Scots back? In Shetland, bedsides have some support. For ID the UK or | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
Scotland, -- either the UK or Scotland, being in Europe is of | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
extreme benefit, especially for the fishing industry. We have free | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
access to the trading bloc. There have been a lot of complaints about | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
the European Union so David Cameron is quite right to let the people | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
decide. And if the Prime Minister gets his way, the people will | :03:22. | :03:30. | |
decide. Suddenly holding referendums is very fashionable. | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
Our political editor is in Holyrood. In terms of the independence debate, | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
does any side gained an advantage as a result of the speech? Here at | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
Holyrood there is a parliamentary Burns supper tonight. I wonder if | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
nationalists will change the running order and have a toast to | :03:50. | :04:00. | |
:04:00. | :04:08. | ||
David Cameron. Now the SNP... David Cameron's response is to say now, | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
it is right to trust the people, trust them on the EU entrance them | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
on the future of the UK. And Nicola Sturgeon has had dealings with | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
Brussels today? She was looking for talks with the European Commission | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
on the status of Scotland in the EU post independence. She has had a | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
rebuff from the EU on that. They say this is an issue to be | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
determined when there is a precise scenario and to be determined with | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
the member states. At least the European Commission is staying | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
neutral now. She has sought a joint approach with the UK Government. | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
Well-told it is up to the SNP to spell out precisely what | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
independence will mean for Scotland's relationship with the EU. | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
Unemployment in Scotland has fallen again. The number of Scots seeking | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
work was down by 14,000 during autumn but overall there are signs | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
of continued weakness in the economy. Our business editor has | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
been looking at the figures. There is good and not so good news. | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
The number of Scots seeking work between September and November | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
continued to fall. Down by 40,000 to 207,000. But the number of | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
people in what was also down by 24,000. That suggests a number -- a | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
fall in the number of people in the labour market for due to retirement | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
and people giving up the search, for example, students. The overall | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
outlook is not that rosy. Freshly trained for work with | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
Beatles for the job, Glaswegians qualifying today to take on a tough | :05:48. | :05:57. | |
job. Few will start in a film like Paul Brannigan of the Angels' Share. | :05:57. | :06:04. | |
Others will have to use their skills. It is so hard to find a job. | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
It gives you a lot more confidence and helps you get the skills and | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
give you more options. A sign of the times? Bosses at the Bank of | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
Scotland today announced nearly 100 branch managers are going, while | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
McDonald's are recruiting twice as many for jobs this year. The | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
ambitious are still shooting for the stars. This Edinburgh firm is a | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
leader in Scottish space technology. The First Minister today underlined | :06:33. | :06:41. | |
the export growth. The figures are up 7% on last year. America remains | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
the biggest market. Exports to the European Union, a topical issue | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
today, rose 15 %. Any technology business now has to work on a | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
global scale. We have always had a fairly big export part of our | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
business. In recent years, it has probably increased. We are | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
exporting about 70 % of what we do. It has to be an export-led recovery | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
and we are seeing fantastic examples of that, for example in | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
food and drink and textiles. However, more recent evidence from | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
business is less positive. The Scottish Chambers of Commerce today | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
confirmed other findings that orders towards the end of last year | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
were weak, and with some exceptions, the outlook this year does not look | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
brighter. There is modest optimism in | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
manufacturing, but retailers are very gloomy about the sea. The | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
squeezed buying power of salaries holds back the return of shoppers' | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
conference. With so much in doubt, today also brought more uncertainty | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
for business. This time that question of whether those very | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
important exports who are going to be from within the European Union's | :07:51. | :07:59. | |
single market. Still to come: He is the artist | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
responsible for this famous painting? It might not be who you | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
think. In sport, Andy Murray is one match | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
away from a place in the final of the Australian Open tennis, but it | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
could be a tough one. The news from Melbourne, and a bold prediction | :08:16. | :08:23. | |
from Scotland's rugby coach. The Scottish Health Secretary has | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
apologised after an 84-year-old man was left lying on a hospital | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
trolley for eight hours. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde have also | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
apologised and admitted it was a very busy time. The man's family | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
said in look like a disaster zone. This is John McGarrity. He was | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
admitted to Accident and Emergency at the Glasgow's Western Infirmary | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
on Monday afternoon, suffering chest pains. After a recent stroke, | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
his family thought he would be a priority. Instead, they say he was | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
left on a hospital trolley for eight hours in a freezing cold | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
corridor. I am very angry, not just for my own father but for the other | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
patients because some of them had been lying there longer than my | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
father. I thought eight hours was back. It is not something I would | :09:13. | :09:21. | |
expect to see in 2013. It is something I would have expected to | :09:21. | :09:29. | |
see on a television news rail -- news reel off a disaster area. | :09:29. | :09:39. | |
:09:39. | :09:46. | ||
Greater Glasgow and Clyde issued The family are rightly very upset | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
at the way their father has been treated so I apologise and my | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
message to the Health Board and indeed every Health Board in | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
Scotland is that this is not an acceptable level of service and we | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
must make sure it does not happen again. Tonight, Mr McGarrity's | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
family say he is still awaiting a diagnosis. | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
A Catholic adoption agency is facing the loss of its charitable | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
status because it refuses to place children with same-sex couples. The | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
Scottish Charity Regulator says that St Margaret's Children and | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
Family Care provides a valuable service but it believes its | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
policies are an awful. All this began after a single complaint? | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
it was a complaint to the office got the Scottish Charity Regulator | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
from the secular society. It is about say Margaret's policy that it | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
would place children with parents who have been married at least two | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
years. The agency says it discriminates against same-sex | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
couples and is therefore in contravention of the equality act. | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
It does say that St Margaret's, based in Glasgow, he is doing a | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
very valuable job, but the insistence on this marital test | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
means it fails the charity test. It has given St Margaret's three | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
months to change its procedures and assessment criteria and if it does | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
not do that, it could lose its charitable status. And there has | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
been reaction already? The Catholic Church has issued a statement. A | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
spokesman said it would foley consider the determination from the | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
regulator with its adviser before making any further comment, but it | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
does understand it hopes that some rider -- my neck changing in | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
wording can get round the problem. -- mine are changing in wording. | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
The Scottish Government has said it is disappointed. Alex Salmond said | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
four years ago that he wanted a way to save the country's Catholic | :11:46. | :11:56. | |
:11:56. | :11:57. | ||
adoption agencies from closure. They 15-year-old girl he was -- his | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
body was found on the M9 has been named as Anna Johnson, from the | :12:01. | :12:08. | |
Stirling area. The police found the body under a bridge close to the | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
Bannockburn Interchange. Police want to hear from anyone travelling | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
in the area yesterday between 6.15am and 7.00am, who may have | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
seen what happened to her. Dozens of schools remained closed | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
today, mainly in the North East, West no continued to cause problems. | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
There were delays for passengers at Aberdeen airport. | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
These motorists had a lucky escape on the A90 south of Stonehaven. Two | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
were taken to hospital. It was one of a series of crashes today. Many | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
roads were closed, others passable only with care. This route was | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
definitely shut. Yes, that is a car underneath. In Aberdeenshire and | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
Aberdeen, more than 60 schools were closed or partially closed. | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
roads around here are really bad with drifting. A number of staff | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
have been stuck or caught in accidents. We are unable to open, | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
for health and safety reasons. Aberdeen International Airport was | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
closed for an hour and a half to allow room ways to be clear. Some | :13:12. | :13:18. | |
flights were cancelled or delayed. Others found their path to Glenshee | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
temporarily closed at Braemar, on the way to the slopes. We got here | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
in plenty of time and we are looking forward to it. As motorists | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
make their way home, they are being warned of the threat of more ice | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
tonight and tomorrow morning, and there is the prospect of more snow | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
on Friday. A full weather forecast at the end of the programme. | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
A caravan has been parked on a single yellow line for four months | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
without being find. Not only that but it is on the doorstep of the | :13:52. | :14:02. | |
:14:02. | :14:07. | ||
Do you can see it is quite clearly pot on a single yellow line and yet | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
the owner has never been issued with a fine and there are no | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
tickets on the windscreen. Because the Karen Viney is a halt, it is | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
not classed as a vehicle and because the council is in touch | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
with the bone as it is not considered abandoned. But if you | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
knock on the door you can see there is nobody here in residence, so it | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
is not technically breaking any laws. It is causing quite a few | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
problems. It is quite a quiet street, it is not causing anybody | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
any trouble. I think if he is part they he should get the fine, | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
because anybody else would get fined. If he gets away Rivett, | :14:50. | :15:00. | |
:15:00. | :15:00. | ||
somebody else might think I will part there as well. The caravan is | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
parked on the same street as the headquarters for the traffic | :15:04. | :15:12. | |
wardens, prompting suggestions that this is some sort of protest. Now, | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
let's get a round up of some other stories from across Scotland. | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
Police officers have been back to the area in Dundee where a man was | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
found dying in the street last August. John McMurchie had been | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
involved in a fight in the city's Whitfield area. Detectives have | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
already taken more than 1,000 witness statements. | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
It is important if anyone has any information to come forward to | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
allow us to bring this conclusion and allow the family to have | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
closure. The Solway Harvester - the boat which sank off the Isle of Man, | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
killing all seven crew - is to be scrapped. For the past 13 years, | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
the rusting scallop dredger has been moored in Douglas Harbour | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
because of ongoing legal action. Contractors who built the problem- | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
plagued DG-1 Leisure Centre in Dumfries are being sued to meet the | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
cost of putting it right. Dumfries and Galloway Council is taking | :15:57. | :16:07. | |
:16:07. | :16:07. | ||
construction firm Keir Northern to court to recover up to �6 million. | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
We have had experts in and look at it and they have put port and | :16:11. | :16:18. | |
report which identify his in the region of �3.7 million of building | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
works that are required. The Scottish Open at Castle Stuart | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
near Inverness is set to be shown live on network TV in the United | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
States this summer. A sponsorship deal means the Scottish Government | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
will advertise Scotland as a tourist destination during coverage | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
on NBC. Woodlands and grasslands in the | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
Highlands supporting rabbits and small rodents should be protected | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
to save the Scottish Wildcat, according to a group of scientists. | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
Researchers have used data from the Scottish Wildcat Survey to identify | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
the cats' favoured habitat. And there's more stories from | :16:48. | :16:58. | |
:16:58. | :16:59. | ||
around Scotland - 24 hours a day - on our website. | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
The sport now and the task ahead for Andy Murray. | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
Andy Murray will have to beat a man who's won 17 grand slam titles to | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
reach the final of this year's Australian Open tennis. Murray | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
plays World number two Roger Federer in the semi-finals on | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
Friday. It will be the biggest test for the Scot so far in the | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
tournament, in which he's yet to lose a set. From Melbourne, here's | :17:20. | :17:30. | |
:17:30. | :17:38. | ||
our tennis reporter, David McDaid. The French back at Melbourne Park, | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
hoping that Jeremy Chardy could succeed where his compatriot had | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
failed. Very quickly, that looked unlikely, as Andy Murray took the | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
first four game for that reply. The Frenchman tried to offer up more | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
resistance with some powerful groundstrokes. But Andy Murray but | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
that that brief storm to claim the first set. Little more than half an | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
hour later, the Scot had one foot in the semi-finals as the game of | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
Jeremy Chardy faltered. He notched up another straight sets win. | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
thought I started the match well and did a pretty good job all right. | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
He is a tough guy to play games and I thought I did a good job. | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
much improved performance by Andy Murray as you make yet another | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
Australian Open semi-final. But he will have to adapt to different | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
conditions as he plays his first night match of this tournament. | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
Normally the run these are little bit quicker and the courts of | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
slower, and certain shots went better than others. And going to go | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
and practise again this evening and the other show court, and hit under | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
the lights to be as ready as possible. It is a familiar foe he | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
will be up against, 17 grand-slam champion Roger Federer. | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
The man in charge of Scotland's rugby team predicts things are | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
about to get a whole lot better for the national side. Last season, the | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
Scots were the biggest losers in the Six Nations tournament - losing | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
all five matches and finishing last. But Scott Johnson, whose first game | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
as coach is against England next weekend, is confident this year | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
they can be winners. Our Six Nations reporter, Phil Goodlad, | :19:19. | :19:27. | |
spoke to him at the official launch of the tournament in London. | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
What do you see, organised chaos, or one of the big estates in | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
Europe's rugby calendar? This is not so much a media scrum, more | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
than media circus. It is a case of Grabarz ever captain you can, | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
whatever Kate you can, and grill them about what he expects from the | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
tournament. This man expects, if we all think a little more positively. | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
I do not want to hear about what we can't do, let's focus on what we | :19:57. | :20:06. | |
can do, and there are some really good things in Scottish rugby. | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
course, many will find it difficult to be upbeat following Scotland | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
just now. Defeated Tonga to us that, at let alone last season's Six | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
Nations whitewash. The chance to improve things begins next Saturday | :20:21. | :20:26. | |

campaign with the trip to Paris. is about making sure we get the | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
skills right, we get intensity right, our concentration right. If | :20:36. | :20:43. | |
we can do that, anything can happen. For Scotland's newest recruit, he | :20:43. | :20:50. | |
is a little more expectant. wind will come. We need to allow | :20:50. | :20:56. | |
part right and then the wind will come. The odd victory or two would | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
be well received. The Celtic manager, Neil Lennon, | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
says he's confident their top scorer, Gary Hooper, will be with | :21:01. | :21:11. | |
the club when the January transfer The funeral's taken place of the | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
former Celtic player and assistant manager Sean Fallon. He died last | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
week at the age of 90. Fallon was Jock Stein's assistant when the | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
club won the European Cup in 1967. Among the mourners attending were | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
members of the team that won the trophy, including captain Billy | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
McNeil, current manager Neil Lennon and the Manchester United manager, | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
Sir Alex Ferguson. Do you know who painted this | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
picture? It is, of course, the iconic image of the Skating | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
Minister, which hangs in the National Galleries of Scotland, and | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
Scot Sir Henry Raeburn is credited as being the artist. But a book | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
launched in Edinburgh tonight supports a theory that Raeburn may | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
NOT have painted it after all, and it could even be the work of an | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
obscure French artist. Joanne Macaulay reports. He pops up all | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
over the place, The Skating Minister painted in the 18 Nineties | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
has become something of a symbol of Scottish art. But the book released | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
today says that X-rays suggest it may not be by the famous Scottish | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
painter of Port Alan Taylor. It is a much smaller painting and a very | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
unusual subject, this skating minister, as opposed to the much | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
more formal sitters that we see in Raeburn. And there is this evidence | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
that we do not have the white and a painting for the face that we might | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
expect. This is Duddingston loch, frozen as in the painting. The | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
picture was unusual for the time because it showed a minister having | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
fun. The book suggests that it was a little-known French artist called | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
Henri-Pierre Danloux, who was responsible for the picture. But | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
there is no hurry to change the name on the painting. It is not | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
signed but Raeburn very often did not sign his paintings. The format | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
is unusual for Raeburn, but the provenance is fairly well | :22:54. | :23:01. | |
established. They are like all the other previous claims and they are | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
based on circumstantial evidence and somebody's opinion. There is no | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
real source for them at all. Somebody says I think this is not | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
by Raeburn therefore believe it is not by Raeburn. The National | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
Galleries of Scotland said that if it ever turned out not to be by | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
Raeburn, The Skating Minister would soon -- continue to be an iconic | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
painting which pulled in the crowds. From the Skating Minister took the | :23:28. | :23:37. | |
Ice is could be the main focus of the weather tonight. There is a | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
yellow warning for widespread ice. The main focus of the warning will | :23:41. | :23:50. | |
be eastern Scotland but it think anywhere will be at risk. The frost | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
will be so dear in places and we could see one not two wintry | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
showers towards more eastern areas. Some freezing fog patches forming, | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
especially up towards in finesse and through the central belt. Very | :24:06. | :24:16. | |
:24:16. | :24:20. | ||
cold for central areas. Tomorrow, a cold frosty start. Ice is a ring -- | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
risk this thing. We will see more in the way uprightness and sun | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
chide and generally a lot of dry weather. Some good spells of | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
sunshine tours the south-west corner. And some bright and as for | :24:36. | :24:43. | |

temperatures struggled to get above freezing. -- Wed the frost lingers. | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
Some winter showers coming into Orkney and then Shetland for a time. | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
As we head towards dusk, we start to see the change taking place. | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
Thicker cloud towards the west coast is the first signed of rain | :25:06. | :25:13. | |
coming in by the end of the afternoon. The Atlantic weather | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
front pushes in. As it hits the cold air it will turn readily to | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
snow. The Met Office have an early yellow warning for snow across much | :25:23. | :25:30. | |
of Scotland. On Friday, it rained on the west coast, as it moose | :25:30. | :25:40. | |

David Cameron has called poor of boat by 2017 on whether Britain | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
should state in the European Union, which Alex Salmond says has blown a | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
hole in the campaign against Scottish independence. | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
Britain's biggest construction firms have admitted using an | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
illegal secret list to put potential employees, including | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
those working on other big projects. The practice was condemned as a | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
national scandal in parliament today. | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
Unemployment in Scotland has fallen again, with the number seeking work | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
down by 14 %, but overall there are signs of continuing weakness in the | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
economy. Prince Harry has a right back in | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
