more than 9%. That is all from the BBC | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Tonight, on Reporting Scotland: The Grangemouth dispute escalates. | :00:14. | :00:24. | |
Let's get over that and show these people what our opinion is! -- let's | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
get over there. The operators tell staff to accept | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
new conditions to save the plant. The Unite union threatens legal | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
action, accusing them of "cynical blackmail." | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
We have to stick together as aid unit and stand solid and fight. | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
-- a unit. My main thing is anger and disappointment. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
We will have the latest on the dispute. | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
Also in the programme. A murder trial hears of the moment this | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
woman's battered body was discovered in a toilet during a conference in | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
Glasgow. This little boy's life was saved | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
thanks to an award-winning service which uses the latest in | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
life-support technology. Services to tennis. | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
Andy Murray receives his OBE from Prince William at Buckingham Palace. | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
And join me in Glasgow where Glasgow City take on Standard Liege in the | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
Champions League. The dispute at the Grangemouth | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
refinery has tonight deepened, with both the management and the union | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
engaged in a bitter war of words. The Scottish and UK governments have | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
moved to reassure the public that there is no threat to fuel supplies. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
Catriona Renton has spent the day in Grangemouth. Catriona. | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
Earlier today, the Unite union members, over 300, 400 outside the | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
headquarters of INEOS at Grangemouth. We cannot see it in the | :01:48. | :01:55. | |
picture. There were protesting outside the headquarters and they | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
say they will do that every day in a daylight vigil from 7am until it | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
gets dark, until Monday, the day they called D-day. That is the day | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
they have to respond to the proposals put to them by the company | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
this morning for changes to their pensions and terms and conditions. | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
The company say the exchanges are absolutely -- the changes are | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
essential to assure the future of the chemical plant here, but | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
emotions have been running really high. I spoke to one man who did not | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
go on camera but he is a father, a worker, and he broke down in tears | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
when he said the consultation letter to determine his future was | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
delivered to his door. Now we know the depth of the | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
contempt for you and the economy and the good people of Scotland. | :02:48. | :02:57. | |
Angry response from union members. The Dickensian workhouse was for -- | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
was far better than what we are facing here. | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
A meeting to show seller Daugherty and then they marched to demonstrate | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
outside the company offices. -- solidarity. | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
My main thing is anger and disappointment. | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
The pensioners we worked hard for, guaranteed overtime is horrendous, a | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
terrible situation -- the pensions. Very concerned but we have | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
solidarity and we will fight. There was a threatened strike, | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
owners say the plans will not be fired open again until workers have | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
responded to their proposals, and if they do not accept changes? | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
There will be no petrochemical operations here in Grangemouth and | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
no jobs. By buying into it, they preserve their jobs here at | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
Grangemouth. Grangemouth buys 70% of Scottish | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
fuel and produces over 200,000 barrels of oil each day, but the UK | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
government insists there is no threat to supply. | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
We have done a lot of work and I can say with confidence people will be | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
able to see fuel supplies, they will get petrol and diesel and heating | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
oil as they need, airports will get the aircraft fuel, contingency | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
arrangements are bussed whatever happens. | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
The company says they are losing ?10 million each month and the shutdown | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
has cost ?20 million so far. The union says workers are being | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
blackmailed. They feel they are being held to | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
ransom here in the sense of, accept these terms and fundamental changes | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
to your terms and conditions or we will close your workplace. It is | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
absolutely outrageous. Members have until Monday to | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
respond. Shareholders will meet on Tuesday to decide when this place | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
will be back up and running again. Our business editor joins me now. | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
Let's look at this, what are the terms and conditions that have been | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
offered? The proposal from INEOS is a pay | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
freeze for three years, bonuses will not be paid until 2017. The shift | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
allowance cut by a quarter, so effectively a pay cut starting at | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
10% and as the freeze goes on, it will get deeper. The biggest change | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
is to pensions, moving away from guaranteed pensions, contributions | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
tripling. That is not uncommon across the private sector and it has | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
been resisted elsewhere. The company not talking about job losses. But | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
what has provoked the union is this deadline, to sign up by 6pm on | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
Monday and if you do not, your contract will be terminated and you | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
will be hired a game under new conditions. That has brought the | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
threat of legal action from the union. | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
A lot of anger where might this dispute go from here? | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
The company says it is loss-making and it will close the petrochemical | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
and if it does not get the cuts. Refinery looks much more secure for | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
now. It is not afraid to close plants if they are not making money, | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
it has taken the cost, ?20 million so far, and it will not open the | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
planned unless it gets us your insists there will be no further | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
strikes. But the union is not backing down. --, it's it gets | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
assurances. It is urging members to stick to the union as a negotiator. | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
Unite is challenging claims of the company of financial distress, but | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
both sides agreed the finances are so complex between written and | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
Switzerland, it is hard for any outsider to make much sense of them. | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
Thank you. Scottish Gas customers in the North of Scotland are facing | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
higher bills than the rest of the UK, after a decision by owners | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
Centrica to increase prices. The price rise will see an average UK | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
dual-fuel bill going up by 9.2% from 23 November. But regional | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
differences mean domestic customers living North of Perth will see an | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
average rise of 11.2%, the biggest in the UK. The company blames the | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
higher charges on network costs it pays to the transmission companies | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
around the country. A murder trial has heard that the | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
battered body of a woman was found in a ladies' toilet in the Clyde | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
Auditorium by two women who were delegates at a conference there. | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
Marie Anne Vandenhende, a doctor from France, told the High Court in | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
Glasgow there was blood all around Khanokporn Satjawat's head and body, | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
the left side of her face was very badly injured and she wasn't | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
breathing. Security guard Clive Carter admits killing Khanokporn | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
Satjawat, in November last year, but denies murdering her. Aileen Clarke | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
was at court. Marie Anne Vandenhende, a doctor | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
from France, and a French pharmacist told the court they attended a | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
conference at the SECC in November last year. After lunch on Monday the | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
12th, they left the session at the Clyde Auditorium to go to the | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
toilet. Marie Anne Vandenhende told the court as they approached the | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
door of the ladies toilet, it was open from inside by a security guard | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
-- it was opened. He had a fire extinguisher and he said they could | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
not use the toilets as there had been a fire. She identified the | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
security guard as the accused Clive Carter. The pharmacist was asked | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
what she noticed, she said... The court heard the two friends went | :08:34. | :08:47. | |
to other toilets but were suspicious and on their way back, they went to | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
the first toilets they had approached. In a cubicle, lying on | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
the floor, they found the body of map -- they found the body of | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
Khanokporn Satjawat. The doctor said there was blood around her head and | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
body and she was not breathing, and she had the power of somebody who | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
had died. She was asked, could you see the left side of her face? What | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
was left of it, she replied. Clive Carter admits killing | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
Khanokporn Satjawat but denies murdering her. By repeatedly hitting | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
her with a fire extinguisher. You are watching Reporting Scotland | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
from the BBC. Still to come on the programme: Honours for Scottish | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
soldiers, after a six-month tour of Helmand. | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
In sport: Bad news for Brown. The Celtic captain will miss their next | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
three Champions League games. I will tell you why. | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
And it is all about Europe for Glasgow City tonight, they can book | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
their place in the last 16 of the Womens' Champions League. Join me | :09:47. | :09:47. | |
later. The SNP leader Alex Salmond has | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
opened his party's annual conference in Perth by saying next year's | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
independence referendum is the biggest opportunity Scotland has | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
ever had. He went on to claim that there exists what he calls a | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
'natural majority' in favour of independence. | :10:06. | :10:13. | |
Indications are that by a factor of four Khanokporn Satjawat one, people | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
trust the Scottish government rather than Westminster to govern Scotland. | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
We believe the Scottish Parliament should make the key decisions on | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
tax, welfare and pensions. That, delegates, is the natural majority | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
for Scottish independence. It exists in this land at the moment and it is | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
why I believe it will be reflected in a majority for the Yes vote in | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
the ballot paper next September. Our political editor, Brian Taylor, | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
joins me now from Perth. Brian, despite Mr Salmond's confidence, the | :10:45. | :10:56. | |
polls seems to be against him. Mr Salmond is talking about a | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
natural potential majority, arguing Scottish people are persuadable if | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
they can be assured on the economy. It was quite striking that his | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
demeanour was calm and controlled. No brave heart style rhetoric. That | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
might have infused the delegates he -- the delegates here in the hall. | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
Part of that was the shadow of the Grangemouth dispute and calculation | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
that while I've heart rhetoric might excite those in the hall, people | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
outside of looking for controlled answers. | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
This is a big opportunity for the SNP to showcase their arguments for | :11:37. | :11:38. | |
independence. It is, and they are seizing it. In | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
the private session, there was one complaint raised that some policies | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
by the Scottish government had been driven through without necessarily | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
consulting the party. We are talking about the issue of corroboration in | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
court cases. But overwhelmingly, this is a united conference in | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
driving forward their determination to bring about the prospect of | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
independence. They are offering two traces, full self-government under | :12:06. | :12:13. | |
self-governance. Nicola Sturgeon will say if Scotland says no to | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
independence, Westminster will turn the screw on Scotland 's financial | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
spending powers. And there will be more from the SNP | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
Conference on Newsnight Scotland tonight over on BBC Two at 11. | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
A national service which has saved the lives of hundreds of children | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
across Scotland has been recognised with an award. Yorkhill Children's | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
Hospital in Glasgow has used the latest technology to treat almost | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
500 children, half of them newborn babies, and has been commended for | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
excellence in life-support. Our health correspondent, Eleanor | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
Bradford, reports. Two -year-old Matthew has just | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
discovered this train set at Yorkhill Hospital in Glasgow. It is | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
hard to believe this inquisitive little boy nearly died shortly after | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
birth. He had breathed in fluid in the womb which had blocked his logs, | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
he was rushed here at just three hours old -- his logs. | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
There was so much fluid and the doctor said if it had been 24 hours | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
later, he probably would not have made it. | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
Matthew was hocked up to a Extracorporeal Membrane | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
Oxygenation, ECMO, machine. Yorkhill Hospital was one of the | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
first in the UK to use this technology. It does the work of the | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
lungs and the survival rate here for children like Matthew is twice the | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
norm. It allows us time to make the baby | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
better or the baby to get better, or whatever other treatments we are | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
using such as antibiotics and physiotherapy to clear out meconium | :13:51. | :13:57. | |
like Matthew had, and we can do that in a nice orderly and controlled | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
fashion. If you think you have heard of ECMO | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
machines before, it you are right, they hit the headlines in the swine | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
flu outbreak in 2009 when they helped those with lungs which were | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
failing. Chalk Hill had been using them for decade, saving the lives of | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
hundreds of children -- Yorkhill Hospital. | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
The doctors give 100% support. The staff have been recognised for | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
Excellence in Life Support. And Matthew is off to write to Santa | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
about that train set. The Duke of York has presented | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
soldiers from the Royal Regiment of Scotland with medals for their | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
service in Afghanistan. Soldiers from the second Battalion, the Royal | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
Highland Fusiliers, have just returned from a six-month tour of | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
Helmand. At the beginning of the tour, three soldiers were killed in | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
a roadside explosion. Cameron Buttle reports. | :14:51. | :15:01. | |
Back to friends and family, the soldiers of the second Battalion | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
Royal Regiment of Scotland. Hundreds lined the streets here to welcome | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
them home at the end of a six-month tour of Afghanistan. But thoughts | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
are never far from the three who were killed at the beginning of the | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
tour. Corporal William Savage, Fusilier Samuel Flint, Robert | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
Hetherington, died in a massive roadside bomb. Another six soldiers | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
were seriously injured. It was a tragic incident and the | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
thoughts have been with families. But what it did do was, it pulled | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
the battalion together and it's strengthened our resolve to do what | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
we were there to do. We were there to advise the Afghan National | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
police, who are really very confident now, genuinely in the lead | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
in Afghanistan, so we are doing things differently. It allowed as | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
during the talk to step back and to allow them to read and to show their | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
confidence, which they did do very impressively. | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
The battalion 's Royal Colonel Prince Andrew presented medals to | :16:03. | :16:04. | |
two Scots, he paid tribute to the work of the battalion which was | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
first deployed to home and in 2007. This parade marks the third tour of | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
Afghanistan and as military operations continue to wind down, it | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
is almost certainly be end of their part in the conflict which began a | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
decade ago. But another 1200 Scottish troops are just getting | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
their tour of Afghanistan. All combat forces will be withdrawn next | :16:30. | :16:30. | |
year. Other stories from across Scotland | :16:31. | :16:38. | |
this Thursday. Police probing a spate of cash | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
machine raids in the North East have released CCTV images of a car they | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
want to trace. Officers are investigating recent thefts in | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
Bieldside and New Deer, and attempts on machines in Oldmeldrum and | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
Inverurie. A dark-coloured Audi saloon is "believed to be of | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
relevance" to the investigation. Renewable energy developer RES UK | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
has welcomed a decision by the Scottish Government to clear its | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
plans for a wind farm in the Borders. The firm lodged an appeal | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
over its 15-turbine Penmanshiel wind farm plans, after a dispute with the | :17:09. | :17:16. | |
local council. The project was cleared, after the number of | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
turbines was cut to 14. The new Chief Inspector of Prisons | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
for Scotland has found that cells for vulnerable inmates at Barlinnie | :17:23. | :17:24. | |
prison in Glasgow present an unacceptable risk, and that there | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
has been little progress since 2011. He also found that prisoners now | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
have more access to basic facilities, but warned of potential | :17:31. | :17:40. | |
problems with overcrowding. One of the concerns I have is the potential | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
increase in population here at Barlinnie prison as a result of the | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
close of Aberdeen and Peterhead prison earlier this year. | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
The entrepreneur Sir Tom Hunter has been awarded a Carnegie Medal of | :17:52. | :17:54. | |

up so I was worried I was going to be late but the taxi driver did a | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
good job getting around London. A minor inconvenience or part of the | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
job, the job that these young players in Aberdeen could only dream | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
of. The top 12 and 18-year-olds from the north-east under the watchful | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
eye of one of the biggest names in women's tennis over the last decade. | :19:15. | :19:24. | |
Justine Henin. Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam that eluded her during | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
her career. She is a role model to a generation of young players. I had | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
the opportunity to have the whole country of Belgium behind me. The | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
Children In Need the example, they need to dream. It is important for | :19:38. | :19:46. | |
them to dream. -- the children need that example. Andy Murray is in | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
rehabilitation after surgery on his back. Fit in time for the Australian | :19:51. | :19:57. | |
Open? I am not going to come back unless I am 100% fit. The | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
rehabilitation process is tedious and long. I will only come back when | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
I am 100% fit and I hope that is at the beginning of the year. And | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
Olympic gold medallist, two-time grand slam winner and now an OBE. | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
All by the age of 26. No wonder these young players are working so | :20:18. | :20:26. | |
hard at their dream job. Here is David with the sport. | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
The Celtic captain Scott Brown will miss the club's next three Champions | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
League matches. A one-match ban for his ordering off against Barcelona | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
last month had been trebled by UEFA. As Brian McLauchlin reports, Celtic | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
will appeal what they say is an excessive punishment. | :20:40. | :20:50. | |
It was this challenge and Barcelona 's Brazilian superstar Neymar that | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
led to a straight red card being shown to Scott Brown and speaking | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
after the game, manager Neil Lennon gave his thoughts on the | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
sending-off. I did not think the initial tackle was a severe one. It | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
is a physical game. I don't think Neymar does himself any favours by | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
the way he behaves at times. I think the sending-off is called for and | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
unnecessary. UEFA had other thoughts and issued this date meant this | :21:19. | :21:31. | |
afternoon. -- issued this statement. Scott Brown has been instrumental in | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
Celtic 's unbeaten start in the Scottish premiership and he will be | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
able to play in domestic obligation as the ban is only for the Champions | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
League. The Parkhead club are appealing today's call by UEFA and | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
Brown will miss the double-header against Ajax and the home game | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
against Milan if they feel in their appeal. | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
Glasgow city carry Scotland's hopes in the women's Champions League. | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
They are at home to Standard Liege and the Thai is 2-2 after the first | :22:04. | :22:12. | |
leg. Our reporter Heather Dewar is at Petershill Park with a special | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
guest. Yes, that's right David - and what a | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
tasty encounter that could be/ Arsenal winning their second round | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
tie 11-1 today, so they cruise through to the last 16. Glasgow city | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
is looking to go through, but Standard Liege are standing in their | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
way. Tonight, Glasgow City will look to do the same - although it could | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
be a more difficult prospect. City defender Emma Black joins me now to | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
look ahead to the match. Emma, it's 2-2 from the first leg - two | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
precious away goals for you in a tricky tie. What are the main | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
challenges Standard Liege will pose tonight? We feel really prepared for | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
this. We let ourselves down last week. It was a draw and we got away | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
gold so it sets up nicely for this evening's game. They are a | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
counterattacking team, they will be physical against us and patient, | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
however we are well prepared as a team to match that. If you get | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
through this, you are up against Arsenal. Yes. The Battle of Britain. | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
The media have been building it up however we need to win tonight's | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
game before we can look ahead. It sounds as if it is going to be a | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
wonderful evening. Kick-off is at seven o'clock. | :23:15. | :23:16. | |
And you can listen to the match live on BBC Radio Scotland 810 medium | :23:17. | :23:24. | |
wave. Kick-off is at seven. Now, a look at what else is | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
happening across Scottish sport. Olympic silver medallist Michael | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
Jamieson's one of four Scots chosen to swim for Europe against the USA | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
next month in Glasgow. The event is called the "Duel in the Pool". It is | :23:38. | :23:46. | |
swimming's answer to golf's Ryder Cup. | :23:47. | :23:47. | |
Edinburgh Rugby's South African flanker Cornell du Preez wants to | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
play for Scotland. The 22-year-old has no Scots ancestry but could | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
qualify to play in three years' time under residency rules. We know the | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
rules. Every country has those rules so you go out there and be the best | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
player you can be and if that means you get capped for Scotland, you | :24:04. | :24:05. | |
have earned that. Scotland's footballers have risen 28 | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
places in the FIFA rankings after beating Croatia. The Scots are up to | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
35th. Glasgow 2014 organisers are | :24:12. | :24:13. | |
considering moving the Commonwealth Games netball final from the SECC to | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
the Hydro. That could mean more tickets being made available. | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
Athletes Laura Muir and Jamie Bowie met young people from Shettleson | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
Harriers today. They were promoting the Team GB international taking | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
place in Glasgow in January. And there are more sports stories - | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
plus all the latest news, 24 hours a day, on BBC Sport Scotland's | :24:36. | :24:44. | |

Thank you very much. As the weekend was near, let's see how the weather | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
is shaping up. Will we get rid of that rain? | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
A break from the rain tomorrow but it will be a brief one. It was a | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
fairly grey day today for many of us, the weather front has been | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
making a nuisance of itself, bringing outbreaks of rain across | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
Scotland and it will keep some of that going for a time this evening. | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
It makes some progress north-east word but then fizzled out, leaving a | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
lot of dry weather overnight. Some clear spells, some patchy mist, | :25:22. | :25:29. | |
temperatures seven to nine Celsius. By the end of the night, we see | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
winds freshening in the south-west and some more rain pushing into | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
Galloway. By tomorrow morning, the rain tries to make inroads from the | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
south-west but it feels pretty much bringing some rain to the hills, but | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
really across the country, some good advice built a model and decent | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
spells of sunshine if we take a closer look. Temperatures up to 13 | :25:49. | :25:57. | |
Celsius in Stornoway. Another decent day for Orkney and Shetland, some | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
good spells of sunshine for Shetland, although here once again a | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
chilly day, eight Celsius. Some hazy sunshine for Inverness and Northern | :26:08. | :26:10. | |
Aberdeenshire, some spells of patchy rain for the hills of Aberdeenshire, | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
and, but not amounting to much for most of central and southern | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
Scotland. By this stage, some rain knocking on the door of the | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
south-west once again. Through tomorrow evening, the rain gets its | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
act together, marching across much of the country, turning heavy. We | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
will see winds at strengthening, touching deal for surround | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
south-western coasts and it is all down to this area of low pressure | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
spinning out in the Atlantic. The associated weather fronts stay with | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
us tomorrow night and into Saturday and we have got a Met Office be | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
aware warning for heavy rain for Angus. Generally, Saturday will be a | :26:48. | :26:55. | |
wet and windy day. On Sunday, the heaviest rain and strongest winds | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
are confined to the far north, elsewhere some sunshine but heavy, | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
blustery showers. That is the forecast. | :27:04. | :27:05. | |
Thanks. Now, a reminder of tonight's main news. The dispute at the | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
Grangemouth refinery has tonight deepened with both the management | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
and the union engaged in a bitter war of words. The Scottish and UK | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
governments have moved to reassure the public that there is no threat | :27:15. | :27:16. | |
to fuel supplies. and the union engaged in | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
British Gas has become the latest big energy supplier in a week to | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
announce a rise in its fuel prices this winter. Nearly eight million | :27:24. | :27:25. | |
households will be affected, with the average dual fuel bill set to | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
rise by more than 9%, adding more than ?120 to their annual bill. | :27:30. | :27:32. | |
Customers north of Perth will have to pay more. | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
A murder trial at the High Court in Glasgow has heard that the battered | :27:38. | :27:41. | |

during the half time team talk as England beat Poland on Tuesday. | :27:59. | :28:02. | |
He says he meant no offence by the comment which he says was a punch | :28:03. | :28:06. | |
line to a joke. And that's Reporting Scotland. I'll | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
