On Tonight, on Reporting Scotland: Sold-off cheap. | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
Alex Salmond says Royal Mail shares were sold for less than they're | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
worth and that it'd be renationalised in an independent | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
Scotland. Workers at Grangemouth oil refinery | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
and petro-chemical plant plan a 48-hour strike. | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
How Professor Higgs only found out he'd won the Nobel Prize when a | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
woman stopped to tell him on an Edinburgh street. | :00:37. | :00:47. | |
A lady in her 60s or 70s got out and congratulated me on the news and I | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
said, what news? Also on the programme, we're in | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
Delhi. As it takes the Glasgow 2014 baton, find out how the last | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
Commonwealth Games changed the Indian capital. | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
And Europe's premier rugby competition kicks off with Glasgow | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
and Edinburgh both facing tough opening matches. | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
Alex Salmond, has accused the UK Government of undervaluing Royal | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
Mail in setting the price for its sell off. Share prices for the | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
company rose by more than a third on their first day of trading. The | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
First Minister, who's pledged to renationalise Royal Mail if Scotland | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
votes for independence, said UK ministers had got their sums wrong. | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
Here's our business correspondent, David Henderson. | :01:29. | :01:39. | |
For 500 years Royal mail has been owned by the nation. Tonight it is | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
in private hands after a share offer which saw people scrambling to | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
invest. For the lucky ones like this postman from Glasgow who was | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
allocated shares, that means a tidy profit. I will put it in savings, | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
maybe spend it on a holiday. I am paying off a holiday just now. Could | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
just be that of. Courtesy of the Royal mail. | :02:02. | :02:10. | |
From -- for Ian Boyd from in living there has been disappointment. I | :02:10. | :02:18. | |
have been told I will only receive £750 worth of shares, a negligible | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
amount. Amid the scrabble for shares there is a question, did the UK | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
government get the price right? When trading opened this morning shares | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
were priced at 300 and 30p each. Before lunch their price had | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
soared. -- 300 and 30p. Workers are the Grangemouth oil refinery are to | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
strike for 48 hours in a dispute over the treatment of a union | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
covenor. Good luck to the folk who have got the shares, if it is not a | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
success for the public as a whole assets have been sold at an under | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
priced level. This is speculation. This happens always in the stock | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
market. Particularly when you have a big flotation might this. What | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
really matters in terms of value is what it looks like in three months, | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
six months, in years to come. The way Royal Mail is set up is changed | :03:06. | :03:15. | |
but customers still have a guarantee of regular postal deliveries and the | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
cost of that must be uniform and affordable right across the UK. | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
Today's move should divide much-needed investment for Royal -- | :03:25. | :03:38. | |
Royal Mail. Workers at the Grangemouth refinery | :03:39. | :03:50. | |
are to strike for 48 hours. Whiteley escalation in this dispute? | :03:50. | :03:57. | |
There was a work to rule and overtime ban which began last | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
Monday. The company that owns the plant and operated, they are also | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
protesting at the use of contract workers. The head of that action, | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
the company said the petrochemical plant will close if management don't | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
get cuts to cost including jobs, but particularly pension costs. The | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
unions ballot the members and gave backing for strike action. That is | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
what is being planned. It would start at 7am, a week from the Sunday | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
morning, and lost 48 hours until Tuesday, the 22nd. The unions | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
attacking the company for wrecking this -- reckless behaviour. The | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
company strongly denounced the union for tactics which serves are seeking | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
to discourage customers from trading with Grangemouth. You can see the | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
temperature in this dispute has gone up a lot today. And whenever it is | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
mentioned we think about fuel supplies, will it have any impact? | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
Union are saying it could disrupt fuel supplies throughout Scotland | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
and the North of England. The blame should lie with management. | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
Management has want if it has closed down the petrochemical plant and | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
warm it up again which would take weeks, it is already losing £10 | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
million per month so may not start all the assets again. As we have | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
seen with refinery stoppages before, it doesn't necessarily mean fuel one | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
out unless that is panic buying. Ed Davey, the energy Secretary, has | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
said tonight there will be robust alternative supply routes which are | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
being put in place by the UK and Scottish governments, they are being | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
planned. It is worth stressing this is seven days away, the legal | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
requirement for the union to give that notice. Clearly a trial of | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
strength between makers and management will stop it remains a | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
threat. -- between workers and management. | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
Professor Peter Higgs has revealed that he was told he'd won the Nobel | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
Prize for Physics by a woman who was passing him on an Edinburgh street. | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
In his first public appearance since the announcement was made, the | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
84-year-old said it had been a long time coming but he says he's now | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
nervous about how he's going to handle his celebrity status. | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
For Professor Peter Higgs a lifetime in particle physics has been no | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
preparation for the attention of the world 's press. Notoriously | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
publicity shy it was a former neighbour who stopped them in the | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
street to tell them he had won the Nobel Prize. A former neighbour, a | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
widow of a judge who died recently, congratulated me on the news and I | :06:33. | :06:43. | |
said, what news? She told me that her daughter had phone from London | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
to alert her to the fact that I had got this price. The world 's biggest | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
machine was built to prove the existence of the particle he | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
predicted 50 years ago known as the Higgs boson. It is rather accidental | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
my name is attached to the particle, but I about simply because | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
I drew attention to it, have a stronger connection and the others. | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
-- than the others. Getting rid of the name will be difficult. For this | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
modest man who loves nothing more than a quiet beer he views his | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
modest man who loves nothing more celebrity status with trepidation. | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
I think I faced the immediate future with some foreboding, I will have | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
difficulty in the next few months, having any of my life to myself. | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
The news should have sent in by the time he collect his prize in Sweden | :07:36. | :07:44. | |
in December. You are watching reporting Scotland. | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
Still to come, the pensioners who say they are disgusted after | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
learning their daycare centre is to move because it is unsafe stop. | :07:52. | :08:01. | |
Rugby 's European cup begins tomorrow, find out what music legend | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
Frankie Miller is doing in the tomorrow, find out what music legend | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
sports news. The Commonwealth Games baton has | :08:08. | :08:20. | |
arrived in Delhi. They were met with a delegation from the Indian batsmen | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
team this afternoon. -- bat on. How have the games changed the city? | :08:25. | :08:36. | |
I am near the presidential palace, that is the statue of the 11 Freedom | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
Fighters with Mahatma Gandhi obviously recognisable that other | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
front. It is under double he is a man who left a legacy for India. | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
That is the buzzword that has been attached to pretty much every recent | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
major sporting event. What has changed here since three years ago | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
last remark I have been assessing the infrastructure legacy of Delhi | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
2010 three years on? It is a country of colour, contrast | :09:05. | :09:14. | |
and chaos. Most Western visitors It is a country of colour, contrast | :09:14. | :09:21. | |
leave astounded by the congestion on the city 's roads. For many Indians | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
the introduction ten years ago of this £2 billion Metro network | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
brought the relief they sought. It was expanded in preparation for the | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
Commonwealth Games, their commuters are thankful for that alone. | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
Driving and help -- driving is hell in Delhi. It is difficult. But with | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
the metro it is so easy, you don't have to worry about traffic, | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
accidents. We use it most frequently, the most convenient and | :09:51. | :09:59. | |
comfortable way to commute in Delhi. It is the lifeline of Delhi. | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
The construction work on this project has been flawless, and | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
reliability exceptional. The Metro hasn't brought harm to this chaotic | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
city. Although it carries around 2 million passengers every day the | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
roads here are still hectic. A reflection perhaps of why wider | :10:18. | :10:25. | |
society here. The 2010 games have been mired with problems throughout, | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
from worries the village would be ready to the subsequent prosecution | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
of the organising committee 's chairman for corruption. | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
Improvements have come in the main business and retail district, | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
Connaught Place were supposed to be transformed in time for the games. | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
It was no shock to tenants here the work started late and is still going | :10:45. | :10:52. | |
on. I wasn't surprised, the end result is substantially better than | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
what we had before. There is a lot result is substantially better than | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
that can still be done. It is about being better tomorrow than today, | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
and as long as we keep making improvements I have got no reason to | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
complain. Petitions are not exactly throwing | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
themselves in front of cars to speak about 2010, with an election coming | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
themselves in front of cars to speak up they would prefer to create some | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
distance from it. Business leaders are less shy. This sports pod is one | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
end but more than 90% of the funding actually went into improving the | :11:21. | :11:28. | |
city infrastructure, large 25 flyovers, what ways, a brand-new | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
airport -- walkways. All of it has been a tremendous boost. | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
Seen through the apparent chaos may be difficult, but for people in | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
Delhi this is normal, people can see clearly the legacy of the games | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
left. A man from Port Glasgow has been | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
formally arrested in Pakistan in connection with the murder of his | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
wife. Abdul Sattar is in custody in Pakistan. His wife Mumtaz was killed | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
in Lahore almost three weeks ago. Catriona Renton reports. | :11:57. | :12:08. | |
In happier times with her family, this is her on the left with her | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
sisters. It is almost three weeks ago when the 38 world travelled to | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
Pakistan with her husband, but hours after her arrival she was dead. A | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
big part of her -- of our family life is gone. No more visiting each | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
other, phoning each other. No more text in each other. No more going | :12:29. | :12:40. | |
out. No more big sister. All we are asking for is justice. That is all | :12:40. | :12:48. | |
we are asking for. They lived in Port Glasgow. Abdul Sattar runs the | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
shop. He said they were going to visit his parents in Pakistan's | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
Punjab province and they were attacked during a shared taxi ride | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
from the airport. He said he and his wife were drugged and pushed out of | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
the moving car. It is claimed this was not a taxi but a car. Abdul | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
Sattar and his wife were seen on CCTV from the airport greetings and | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
at the car. After her death he contacted his wife's family. They | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
say they were suspicious of his version of events. At a media | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
conference today her family lawyer said Abdul Souter has been -- Abdul | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
Sattar has been arrested. He has been formally arrested as a murder | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
suspect by the Pakistani police, with three other suspects who are | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
linked to a white car, that picked up a couple at the airport. It is | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
understood he will now be detained for a 14 day period and it is | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
expected formal charges will then be brought against him. Until they get | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
answers the family will not be able to grieve properly. Other stories | :13:54. | :14:03. | |
from across Scotland. A man who murdered a pensioner in | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
his home in West Lothian has been jailed for life. 22-year-old Keiryn | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
Nisbet denied the killing which took place in October last year. The | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
judge described Nisbet's assault on 67-year-old Robert Simpson in | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
Armadale, as "a horrific and sustained attack." | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
A woman and a child were airlifted to hospital in Aberdeen with | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
suspected serious injuries after their can and a van were in | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
collision near Inverurie this morning. Three other members of the | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
family were unhurt, as was the van driver. | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
Administrators have been appointed to run a troubled pharmaceutical | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
plant in Dumfriesshire. 30 staff at the Bakhu Pharma factory near Annan | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
are understood to have been laid off. It comes two years after the | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
plant was rescued from closure when former owners Phoenix Chemicals also | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
went into administration. Fresh concerns have been raised | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
about the impact of American signal crayfish that have infested the Loch | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
Ken area. The non-native crustaceans have been found in winter cattle | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
silage, because they can cross land. Locals want the law changed to allow | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
them to be culled. Scotland's only festival exclusively | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
for contemporary dance gets underway in Aberdeen today. DanceLive is in | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
its eighth year and runs until the end of the month. | :15:12. | :15:19. | |
It has grown in size, this year it is 21 days and there is a packed | :15:19. | :15:29. | |
programme including five premiers, which is very exciting. | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
And there are more stories from your area, and all the latest news, 24 | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
hours a day on BBC Scotland's website. | :15:35. | :15:46. | |
Disgusted and depressed is how a group of Asian pensioners say they | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
are feeling after being told their daycare service is being moved. The | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
lunch club has been run for more than 20 years in a building attached | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
to a Sikh temple in Glasgow. After an inspection, the city council say | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
the building is unsafe and the pensioners will be transported | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
instead to a council centre. Aileen Clarke has been finding out more. | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
For more than 20 years, pensioners from various amenities in Glasgow | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
have met up here for food and friendship. The city council will | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
close the daycare centre later this month. Earlier this week, some who | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
attend have this -- had this photo taken to register their protest. The | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
council would not let us film in the centre, so next door the pensioners | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
explained why they are so upset. Once we come here, it brightens up | :16:29. | :16:36. | |
your face. To me, it is a jewel in the crown. It is disgusting and | :16:36. | :16:46. | |
depressing. Going there will be longer and the older people won't be | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
able to sit on the bus for so long. The council is concerned -- its | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
concerns will be addressed say those who run the temple. We are hoping | :16:56. | :17:02. | |
they reconsider. That seems unlikely. In an ideal world, we | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
would have made this decision earlier. Maybe the work could have | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
been done earlier, but two weeks is not enough time and we have a | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
responsibility to our elderly people. In ten days time, the | :17:15. | :17:22. | |
daycare service here.. But the elderly people who come here can't | :17:22. | :17:31. | |
help but feel is that the council is threatening the friendship and | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
companionship that the pensioners hold so dear. | :17:33. | :17:40. | |
A big weekend for rugby. Europe's premier rugby competition, | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
the Heineken Cup, kicks off this weekend with both Scottish sides | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
facing tough opening matches. Glasgow are away in France to face | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
defending champions Toulon while Edinburgh, semifinalists two seasons | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
ago, are at home to Munster. Our rugby reporter Phil Goodlad looks | :17:57. | :18:04. | |
ahead. There may have been an extra edge to | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
training this week. At stake, playing in the European Cup and for | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
the Warriors, the aim was clear. The club has never made that stage | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
before, so it is always the aim whether you are in the rabble or the | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
Heineken Cup, get out and get into the knockout situation. Toulon are | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
favourites to win the group. With the six group winners being joined | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
by the two best runners-up, the Warriors are confident. It's going | :18:32. | :18:41. | |
to be tough, but if we can get something out of these first two | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
games, we can move from there. It is a different story at Murrayfield. | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
Edinburgh continue to struggle with only one win this season. If they | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
were looking for relief, the Heineken Cup group does not offer | :18:54. | :19:03. | |
it. Two-time winners Munster are there and the French team are also | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
riding high. We are in a tough group. It is a tough competition. We | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
are performance-based and we have to look to improve our performance per | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
week by week. What they lack in form, they make up for in | :19:18. | :19:19. | |
experience. The quest of making new European | :19:20. | :19:39. | |
memories is about to begin. The future of Dunfermline Athletic | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
became clearer this afternoon after a ruling at the Court of Session in | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
Edinburgh denied former owner Gavin Masterton an interdict that would | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
have stopped a fan-based group taking over. Masterton has a lease | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
with Fife Council for the training ground at Pitreavie, but Pars | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
United, the preferred bidders, wanted this to end. The deal for | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
Pars United to takeover should now be completed early next week. It has | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
been a difficult couple of days, I am glad it has been run -- result. | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
We can now move this forward with more certainty. There are a few | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
things we have to get sorted out with the legal team and sit down and | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
hopefully get this thing over the line. | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
Something a wee bit different now. Because he's one of Scotland's most | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
successful song writers. Some of the biggest names in the music business | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
have recorded his tunes. But what is Frankie Miller doing in the sport | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
section of the programme? You're about to find out. This is Frankie | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
Miller in 1978 performing his number one hit. These are a couple of the | :20:35. | :20:45. | |
artists he has written four, Ray Charles and Rod Schuett. -- Rod | :20:45. | :20:53. | |
Stewart. Now meet his latest collaborators, the Scotland rugby | :20:53. | :20:54. | |
team. My wife was watching a film, she was | :20:54. | :21:07. | |
yawning and as they came in, I listened to it and I found this | :21:07. | :21:15. | |
song. You played the song. MacGowan to learn a song together. Never | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
thought it would come to this, but it did. Frankie had a brain | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
haemorrhage 20 years ago and is unable to sing. Despite the efforts | :21:23. | :21:37. | |
of a Scotland player, Kelly Brown. The finished article was launched | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
today, although most of the squad were otherwise engaged, preparing | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
for this weekend's matches. What does the great man make of the new | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
version? All of the proceeds go to charity. | :21:48. | :22:09. | |
Rod Stewart once said that Frankie Miller was one of the few singers | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
that made him cry. He obviously hasn't heard rugby players, has he? | :22:13. | :22:24. | |
It's 20 years since the Glasgay festival was first established. One | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
of the first public celebrations of gay culture, it's now one of the | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
biggest in the UK, although it very nearly didn't get off the ground at | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
all, as our arts correspondent Pauline McLean reports. | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
Looking afresh at Scottish icons is what Glasgay is about. In this case, | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
Jackie Kay wanted to know if Margaret and was feisty and black. | :22:46. | :22:56. | |
It seems to me that Mark Brown... Debating it independence in | :22:56. | :23:05. | |
first festival in 1993. With an established a club scene and a wider | :23:05. | :23:13. | |
cultural scene, Glasgow was in some ways the perfect location for a new | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
festival celebrating gay culture. In some ways, it was almost the worst | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
place as the opposition from the local authority was enormous, it | :23:22. | :23:30. | |
was, we don't want here. There was so much going on under the surface, | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
so many people ready to do something like this and it was only two or | :23:34. | :23:41. | |
three years after clause 28, there was a real feeling amongst the gay | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
community that it was time to act. Sir Ian McKellen was one of the | :23:46. | :23:53. | |
first performers. Glasgay is a beacon of sanity. 20 years on, the | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
fireworks are forgotten and the council is one of the festival's key | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
sponsors. Organisers say there is still a need for Glasgay. Our work | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
is dominated by social issues, there are still many of our community who | :24:10. | :24:16. | |
shot to come out, struggle with mental health and struggle with | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
their whole identity. As equality has moved out into society, there | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
are many stories from the past to tell and many stories from the | :24:25. | :24:26. | |
future, as well. It is looking quite dry. There will | :24:26. | :24:42. | |
be some sun, but not for all, much like today. Let's look at the | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
satellite picture. Northern parts of the country, some beautiful sunshine | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
but the cloud. And in the South and did not want to shift. As they go | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
into this evening, it will stay dry and there will be some areas of | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
cloud. Certainly, where we hold onto clear skies, it will be chilly. | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
Particularly in parts of the West Highlands. Temperatures down to | :25:04. | :25:25. | |
freezing with a touch of frost. In towns and cities, holding up at five | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
or six sources where the cloud is thickest and certainly amongst the | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
East Coast and further South, perhaps no lower than seven or eight | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
Celsius. High pressure is in control, that means dry conditions. | :25:34. | :25:35. | |
Celsius. High pressure is in There will be some cloud, some sun, | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
but where? Here are the answers? The best of the sunshine will be in the | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
West. That is the rule of thumb. Temperature wise, we are looking at | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
12 or 13 sources. Maybe one or two spots of rain. North of the Central | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
Belt, clear skies and grey visibility, a lovely start to the | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
weekend. Some areas of cloud along the Moray Firth and some cloudier | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
skies for Shetland. If you are hill walking, plenty of sunshine on | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
offer, greater visibility. The further South you are, there will be | :26:00. | :26:07. | |
stronger winds. Those winds could be 25 mph. Across eastern ranges, there | :26:07. | :26:14. | |
will be some sunny intervals. The inshore waters in the south-west, it | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
is an Easter to north easterly with moderate seas and good visibility | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
and over in the east, the Firth of Forth, force for to force five, | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
moderate seas, but good visibility. For the rest of the afternoon and | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
overnight and it stays dry. Where there are clear skies, it will be | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
chilly. There will be patchy rain across the board are hills. As we | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
look ahead towards Sunday, the high pressure begins to track away entry | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
starts to see this low-pressure nudge in, so the winds will increase | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
in the South East in particular and there will be some outbreaks of | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
rain. The further West you are, this is where the best of the sun will | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
be, particularly in the north-west. Height of 14 Celsius. Next week, we | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
say goodbye to the high pressure. But even on Monday, it will be | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
generally dry for most of us. Alex Salmond has accused the UK | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
Government of undervaluing Royal Mail in setting the price for its | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
sell-off. Share prices rose by more than a third on her first day of | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
trading. Workers at the Grangemouth oil refinery are to strike for 48 | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
hours. The dispute centres on the treatment | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
of a union convener. And that's Reporting Scotland. I'll | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
be back with the headlines at 8pm and the late bulletin just after the | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
ten o'clock news. Until then, from everyone on the team here in Glasgow | :27:38. | :27:42. | |
and around the country, have a very good evening. | :27:42. | :27:43. |
