:00:17. > :00:19.Tonight's Reporting Scotland is dominated by the announcement of the

:00:20. > :00:24.closure of the petrochemical plant at Grangemouth. The bitter

:00:25. > :00:27.industrial dispute between the plant's owners and the Unite union

:00:28. > :00:32.looks like ending in the loss of 800 jobs. Politicians from across the

:00:33. > :00:40.spectrum have urged both sides to keep talking. This is what the

:00:41. > :00:45.workers had to say. Absolutely devastated by this. Absolutely

:00:46. > :00:51.devastated. It is an absolute disgrace what they have done. It is

:00:52. > :00:55.going to be horrendous trying to live after this.

:00:56. > :00:59.We'll be live at the plant with a full report. We'll also be looking

:01:00. > :01:01.at what it means for the future of the refinery at Grangemouth, the

:01:02. > :01:04.implications for the wider economy and the political reaction.

:01:05. > :01:07.Also tonight: A number of people have been arrested and are being

:01:08. > :01:09.held at the high security Govan Police Station under the Terrorism

:01:10. > :01:13.Act. This security guard tells a murder

:01:14. > :01:15.trial he killed a woman delegate at a conference, but has no memory of

:01:16. > :01:18.it. And Celtic boost their Champions

:01:19. > :01:24.League prospects with the first win of their campaign.

:01:25. > :01:27.800 workers at Grangemouth's petrochemical plant face losing

:01:28. > :01:30.their jobs after its owner announced its closure. The future of the

:01:31. > :01:35.neighbouring refinery remains uncertain. Ineos says it's too

:01:36. > :01:41.expensive to run but the Unite union accused the company of economic and

:01:42. > :01:44.industrial vandalism. Our Business correspondent David Henderson is at

:01:45. > :01:47.Grangemouth tonight. David, although the announcement was made, we

:01:48. > :01:53.understand last ditch attempts are underway to save the plant. For

:01:54. > :01:58.months there has been a war of words between management and the union

:01:59. > :02:02.about the future of this site and what could be done to help it

:02:03. > :02:08.survive. Today, it was about actions and not words. Management have taken

:02:09. > :02:14.very drastic action and it is now the workers who are left counting

:02:15. > :02:18.the cost. Leaving work, perhaps the last time.

:02:19. > :02:21.Staff at the Grangemouth plant walked away from meetings with

:02:22. > :02:28.management this morning, their worst fears realised. Absolutely

:02:29. > :02:32.devastated. It is an absolute disgrace what they have done. This

:02:33. > :02:37.vast petrochemical plant has been shut down since the weekend, made a

:02:38. > :02:41.bit -- bitter dispute between owners and staff. Now it won't reopen at

:02:42. > :02:52.all. Most here knew this was a moment of crisis but few expected

:02:53. > :03:02.this outcome. 800 jobs at ago. That is it, it is shut. It is going to be

:03:03. > :03:06.horrendous. It is going to be horrendous trying to live after

:03:07. > :03:11.this. This giant plant once produced 2 million tonnes of plastic and

:03:12. > :03:17.chemicals each year but managers say it has been running at a loss and it

:03:18. > :03:22.can't be subsidised any longer. It was made very clear that unless we

:03:23. > :03:25.could get a competitive package on the table that we would not be able

:03:26. > :03:33.to secure the resources and finances. At the heart of this

:03:34. > :03:38.dispute, a battle over cost-cutting. Ineos wants to move away from final

:03:39. > :03:47.salary pensions and accept a cap on salaries. Only half agreed and the

:03:48. > :03:53.rest said no. Today the union pointed finger of blame at

:03:54. > :03:59.management. Unite and our members at Grangemouth are devastated by this

:04:00. > :04:04.morning 's announcement. It has confirmed our fears that this was

:04:05. > :04:10.always the intention of Ineos all along. Grangemouth is Scotland's git

:04:11. > :04:14.industrial sites of this closure is a body blow for the local economy.

:04:15. > :04:24.The people of Grangemouth and the wider community feel betrayed. We

:04:25. > :04:28.have heard some of the things that went on in the negotiations. Instead

:04:29. > :04:37.of seeing, let's work this out in the long term, they just came in and

:04:38. > :04:43.said we wanted all. Tonight, threat still hangs over the rest of

:04:44. > :04:46.Grangemouth. The refinery remains shut and only a deal between owners

:04:47. > :04:52.and staff can bring it back from the brink.

:04:53. > :05:00.So half the workforce faces redundancy. The rest without the

:05:01. > :05:03.refinery behind me and of course it is currently idle. Management say

:05:04. > :05:07.they will only fire it up if the union lifts the threat of industrial

:05:08. > :05:12.action there. That this tough talk but today they have shown what they

:05:13. > :05:17.are prepared to do if union members don't go along with their plans.

:05:18. > :05:20.Political reaction has been swift. Both the Scottish and UK governments

:05:21. > :05:25.have called on Ineos and the Unite union to keep talking. The First

:05:26. > :05:38.Minister, Alex Salmond, says he'll do all he can to save the plant. We

:05:39. > :05:43.have laid down contingencies and we have been in touch with a potential

:05:44. > :05:48.buyer and yes, that would be a far better prospect than closure of the

:05:49. > :05:54.plant. Our priority has been to try and bring the sides together to

:05:55. > :05:58.allow the future of the plant to be secured. It is regrettable that both

:05:59. > :06:04.parties have not managed to negotiate a fair and equitable

:06:05. > :06:07.settlement which to live as a viable business model for the plan. Even at

:06:08. > :06:11.this late stage, the government urges them to continue dialogue and

:06:12. > :06:16.we will offer all possible help and support with this. We want this

:06:17. > :06:18.plant to stay open if at all possible.

:06:19. > :06:22.Let's go to Westminster and our political correspondent, Tim Reid.

:06:23. > :06:27.What's the prospect of either government being able to resolve

:06:28. > :06:35.this? I don't think ministers underestimate the difficulties that

:06:36. > :06:42.lie ahead. They believe there is still hope they can get both sides

:06:43. > :06:44.around the table. They are not resigned to the closure of the plant

:06:45. > :06:49.despite the possibilities of that happening. There are those who

:06:50. > :06:54.believe the union has played into the management's hands. That

:06:55. > :06:58.management has been seeking to blackmail the workforce and both

:06:59. > :07:06.governments. Despite that, the both governments say they are working

:07:07. > :07:12.together. They are determined to try and get some kind of peace between

:07:13. > :07:17.the two of them. They'll also redoubling their efforts to find a

:07:18. > :07:21.buyer, however difficult that maybe. There were a succession of peers

:07:22. > :07:27.that claimed there was a lack of high-level intervention and have

:07:28. > :07:36.called on the Prime Minister to bang heads together. They believe there

:07:37. > :07:41.has been a lack of high-level intervention. Investors would deny

:07:42. > :07:46.that but if they are to resolve this and seek a deal and get the deal

:07:47. > :07:51.done for the future of the plant, then they have got their work cut

:07:52. > :07:55.out for them. So why have Ineos decided to close

:07:56. > :07:58.the plant and what will its impact be on the Scottish economy? Our

:07:59. > :08:07.business and economy editor, Douglas Fraser, is here with his assessment.

:08:08. > :08:11.Around 800 jobs are likely to go. Around 800 jobs likely to go, plus

:08:12. > :08:23.contract workers. And that's just the start. Grangemouth is pivotal to

:08:24. > :08:25.supplying a lot of manufacturing. Minutes before today's announcement,

:08:26. > :08:28.we learned that refining and the chemicals industry have been driving

:08:29. > :08:31.the recovery in Scottish exports. Not now, though. The Chambers of

:08:32. > :08:34.Commerce warns today's news has put economic recovery is at risk. So

:08:35. > :08:41.what's gone wrong? They have been refining at

:08:42. > :08:50.Grangemouth for 90 years. North Sea oil, the evening by product was

:08:51. > :08:52.processed at the petrochemical plant but as that source became scarcer,

:08:53. > :08:59.the plan has been operating below capacity and has been making losses.

:09:00. > :09:09.Ineos wanted to import cheap shale gas from America but said that meant

:09:10. > :09:14.big cuts. For some of these assets in Europe, it is the only way they

:09:15. > :09:21.can survive to bring some of the US economic across to Europe. There was

:09:22. > :09:28.to be no deal with workers. Was that inept union leadership or a company

:09:29. > :09:31.already set on closure? I don't see people being terribly excited about

:09:32. > :09:35.investing in petrochemicals. The cost to borrow money for them for

:09:36. > :09:40.this kind of long-term purpose is quite high and the returns are

:09:41. > :09:44.meagre. If you look at the plant at Grangemouth they thought it was

:09:45. > :09:48.going to take eight or nine years to move into profitability. At the

:09:49. > :09:58.weekend Jim Ratcliffe warned that the survival of the neighbouring

:09:59. > :10:02.refinery looks unlikely. There are big forces at work here.

:10:03. > :10:05.The surge in America's production of cheap shale gas has upended energy

:10:06. > :10:08.markets. Grangemouth has seen the power of global companies set

:10:09. > :10:11.against that of workers. And there's the question of whether any

:10:12. > :10:16.government has the power to protect vital parts of the economy.

:10:17. > :10:19.And later in the programme, we'll be hearing from people in Grangemouth

:10:20. > :10:22.about what the closure means for them. And this evening, a specially

:10:23. > :10:25.extended edition of Newsnight Scotland will be discussing the

:10:26. > :10:32.issues raised. That's on BBC Two at 10:30pm.

:10:33. > :10:34.A number of people have been arrested in Scotland under the

:10:35. > :10:38.Terrorism Act during an operation focussed on dissident Irish

:10:39. > :10:40.Republicans. Police Scotland said they were arrested at several

:10:41. > :10:45.locations "on suspicion of committing various offences". Our

:10:46. > :10:57.Home Affairs correspondent, Reevel Alderson, is outside Govan police

:10:58. > :11:01.station in Glasgow. What do we know? Not very much more. Police Scotland

:11:02. > :11:07.have given very few details. What we do know is that the number of

:11:08. > :11:13.people, we don't know how many, were arrested at various parts of the

:11:14. > :11:18.country earlier today. We understand they were a series of raids and that

:11:19. > :11:26.specialist officers were involved in some of these rates. Police said

:11:27. > :11:31.that public safety was paramount. They were arrested under the

:11:32. > :11:34.terrorism act. They were dissident republicans or affiliated to no

:11:35. > :11:40.particular group. They have all been brought here to Govan police station

:11:41. > :11:45.which is the Scottish terrorism detention centre and they will be

:11:46. > :11:49.questioned here in a secure -- insecure conditions. They will be

:11:50. > :11:54.questioned for 48 hours and then they must we released although there

:11:55. > :11:58.are opportunities for that period of questioning to be extended.

:11:59. > :12:01.A security guard who's admitted killing a delegate at a conference

:12:02. > :12:05.in Glasgow, where he was working, has said he has no memory of it.

:12:06. > :12:09.Clive Carter has been giving evidence in his own defence at the

:12:10. > :12:11.High Court in Glasgow. He admits he killed Khanokporn Satjawat, but

:12:12. > :12:13.denies murdering her. He's lodged a special defence of diminished

:12:14. > :12:19.responsibility. Joanne Macaulay reports.

:12:20. > :12:26.Clive Carter said he came across attempt to map last November when

:12:27. > :12:32.she was attending a pharmaceutical conference. In his role as a

:12:33. > :12:36.security guard, he asked to see the delegates pass but he said she

:12:37. > :12:42.became angry and kept asking him why. If heated argument followed. He

:12:43. > :12:47.said he felt angry and frustrated that he was getting abuse for such a

:12:48. > :12:53.simple request. He says the next thing he remembers is eating his

:12:54. > :13:03.sandwiches. Attempt to map's body was found -- Khanokporn Satjawat's

:13:04. > :13:07.body was found and she had been battered by a fire extinction. Clive

:13:08. > :13:12.Carter was asked whether he membered attacking her with it. He said no

:13:13. > :13:16.and could give no explanation for that happened. He told the court he

:13:17. > :13:22.was confused about the event but he knew there was a chunk missing.

:13:23. > :13:29.Defence counsel as if he had killed her, he said yes. From statements

:13:30. > :13:33.and evidence he had heard into the incident, he accepted he had

:13:34. > :13:40.attacked. But he said he still struggles to understand and explain

:13:41. > :13:43.what had happened. He denies murder on the grounds of diminished

:13:44. > :13:51.responsibility and the trial at the High Court in Glasgow continues.

:13:52. > :13:54.It's the final day of campaigning before voters go to the polls in the

:13:55. > :13:56.Dunfermline by-election. There are seven candidates standing. The

:13:57. > :13:59.election was caused by the resignation from Holyrood of Bill

:14:00. > :14:08.Walker. From Dunfermline, our political editor Brian Taylor

:14:09. > :14:14.reports. This is a tough one for the SNP.

:14:15. > :14:19.They are defending a slim majority but say they have a good record to

:14:20. > :14:24.defend. The only way to preserve the council tax freeze is to pull the

:14:25. > :14:30.SNP. We know what promises are and are delivering on our budget. Labour

:14:31. > :14:33.are also highlighting local issues and believes the SNP will be

:14:34. > :14:39.deterred by the wider ambition of independence. People are telling me

:14:40. > :14:44.that they are very concerned about the SNP's plans to break up

:14:45. > :14:49.Britain. In particular, the threat to jobs. There is also controversy

:14:50. > :14:57.over a Labour leaflet which the party defends universal services.

:14:58. > :15:02.The SNP says this leaflet runs entirely counter to the wider review

:15:03. > :15:07.of policy priorities in which nothing is said to be ruled out but

:15:08. > :15:12.Labour insists that intention is to deform and enhance public service

:15:13. > :15:17.delivery. Liberal Democrats say, don't write us off. They have a

:15:18. > :15:21.recent test of success here. The lady member of the hard-working

:15:22. > :15:26.Liberal Democrat team they had here before and one that team back again.

:15:27. > :15:35.The seat extends along the River Forth. I think people are fed up

:15:36. > :15:38.with the left-wing consensus and we are the only party in this

:15:39. > :15:45.by-election putting former centre-right policies. Dunfermline

:15:46. > :15:50.has other options. The Green Party make a pitch for environmental

:15:51. > :15:54.concerns. We are pushing for a better bus and rail links and

:15:55. > :16:04.calling for no convictions for the bedroom tax. They have tried the SNP

:16:05. > :16:13.and Labour Soho boat ate fresh common-sense start with UKIP? There

:16:14. > :16:21.is one further choice. I would work with them to improve the state of

:16:22. > :16:25.Dunfermline than Scotland. The election here today has been

:16:26. > :16:29.completely overshadowed by the events at Grangemouth but all the

:16:30. > :16:33.candidates and says this contest is crucial for the people of

:16:34. > :16:39.Dunfermline and could be a signpost for politics in Scotland.

:16:40. > :16:41.We will have a special results programme tomorrow night.

:16:42. > :16:43.Other stories from across Scotland this Wednesday.

:16:44. > :16:46.The multinational chemical firm BASF is to close its plant in

:16:47. > :16:49.Renfrewshire with the loss of 141 jobs.The site in Paisley, has

:16:50. > :16:55.produced pigments to colour paints, paper and plastics for 60 years.

:16:56. > :16:58.The closure is part of moves by BASF to restructure its global

:16:59. > :17:01.operations. Police in Edinburgh have withdrawn a

:17:02. > :17:04.proposal to ban condoms from the capital's saunas. The force had

:17:05. > :17:08.written to city councillors asking that any licences granted should be

:17:09. > :17:12.on condition that no items of a sexual nature were allowed on

:17:13. > :17:17.premises. Safe sex campaigners argued the move would have increased

:17:18. > :17:20.the number of HIV cases. Scottish brewer BrewDog plans to

:17:21. > :17:24.create 50 jobs in the next six months after reporting "record

:17:25. > :17:27.growth" in 2013. The Aberdeenshire-based firm said it was

:17:28. > :17:32.on track to turn over ?19 million this year, almost double the

:17:33. > :17:35.previous year's figure. This year's Scottish poppy appeal

:17:36. > :17:39.has been launched by Charlie and Craig Reid of The Proclaimers.

:17:40. > :17:49.They're asking people to give up small luxuries and donate the money

:17:50. > :17:53.instead to help Scotland's veterans. The message this year is to think

:17:54. > :17:58.about the donation and maybe give up a pizza or a cup of coffee and think

:17:59. > :18:05.about the money you are donating. Think about it and people have to

:18:06. > :18:07.make choices nowadays and it would be nice to donate to the British

:18:08. > :18:10.Legion. And there are more stories from your

:18:11. > :18:15.area and all the latest news, 24 hours a day on BBC Scotland's

:18:16. > :18:19.website. The stars of the comedy 'Still Game'

:18:20. > :18:23.have announced they're reviving it for the stage in a four-day run at

:18:24. > :18:26.the Hydro in Glasgow next year. Greg Hemphill and Ford Kiernan, who play

:18:27. > :18:30.Jack and Victor, say they're also looking at the possibility of

:18:31. > :18:43.bringing the hit show back to our TV screens. Julie Peacock reports. See

:18:44. > :18:49.you soon then. Good night! Still Game is one of Scotland's's best

:18:50. > :18:52.loved and most missed comedy VCDs or when the creators said they had an

:19:07. > :19:15.turned out like that! They are going to the Greg Hemphill -- Hydro next

:19:16. > :19:21.year. It is a reunion and we wanted to be

:19:22. > :19:30.fun. We have the chance now to bring Still Game fans together. After a

:19:31. > :19:35.six-year absence they say the warmth of the fans persuaded them to bring

:19:36. > :19:45.it back and B there's still plenty of adventures ahead. You are

:19:46. > :19:53.celebrating... Celebrating just being old pals! That's that!

:19:54. > :19:59.To David now for our sporting round up, and a double blow for Ajax.

:20:00. > :20:01.European football's governing body UEFA's opened disciplinary

:20:02. > :20:06.proceedings against Ajax following crowd trouble at Celtic Park. Ajax

:20:07. > :20:21.fans pulled up and threw plastic seats during their 2-1 defeat by the

:20:22. > :20:25.Scottish Champions. Is slightly downbeat first-half

:20:26. > :20:33.ended on a high with a penalty kick as Anthony Stokes was felled in the

:20:34. > :20:39.box. There was then some delaying tactics which obviously didn't work.

:20:40. > :20:44.It made me concentrate even more and I am just glad it went on the back

:20:45. > :20:54.of the net. In the second half, it was 2-0 to Celtic. The first goal

:20:55. > :21:05.for me for over a year and I am very happy. Victory was Celtic's. We knew

:21:06. > :21:09.that was going to be a huge game for us and the points was vital to

:21:10. > :21:16.qualify. That means Celtic will reach the last 16 F a C Milan lose

:21:17. > :21:27.their next game and Celtic when a way to Ajax and at home to a C

:21:28. > :21:30.Milan. It will be very difficult and on tonight's evidence, it was a

:21:31. > :21:39.massive victory in the context of the group. Last night, Milan and

:21:40. > :21:46.Barcelona fought out a draw. Still a lot of football to be played in the

:21:47. > :21:48.grip, but one thing is for sure. Their Champions League adventure

:21:49. > :21:51.remains very much alive. Rangers shareholders Jim McColl and

:21:52. > :21:53.Paul Murray will meet the club's three main supporter groups tomorrow

:21:54. > :21:56.afternoon. Murray recently won a legal battle to postpone Rangers

:21:57. > :22:00.annual general meeting, at which he hopes to win a seat on the board

:22:01. > :22:03.with three other allies. He and McColl, the billionaire chairman of

:22:04. > :22:06.Clyde Blowers, are expected to outline their future vision for the

:22:07. > :22:08.club. Now, a look at what else is

:22:09. > :22:25.happening across Scottish sport. Shaun Maloney will not play for

:22:26. > :22:30.Scotland again this year. He needs a hit operation and will miss the

:22:31. > :22:34.National is next month. They are clubmates at Glasgow city

:22:35. > :22:38.but Julie Nelson and Suzanne Mulvey will be on opposite sides when

:22:39. > :22:46.Scotland play Northern Ireland on Saturday. Such a great start and as

:22:47. > :22:50.I said, if we keep going we will definitely have the potential to go

:22:51. > :22:53.all the way. Championship club Livingston have

:22:54. > :22:58.enlisted football fans group supporters direct to help them deal

:22:59. > :23:05.with financial problems. They have debts of ?1.5 million.

:23:25. > :23:29.hours a day on the BBC sport website. Now back to our main story

:23:30. > :23:35.the news that the petrochemical plant at Grangemouth is to close.

:23:36. > :23:49.Our reporter Andrew Anderson has spent the day in the town itself to

:23:50. > :23:55.gauge reaction. As the lunchtime news bulletins took

:23:56. > :24:01.to the year, the talking stops. Reporters bringing the news these

:24:02. > :24:07.customers hope they'd never here. Some had worked at the giant complex

:24:08. > :24:13.in better days but all knew this was one of Grangemouth's darkest days.

:24:14. > :24:20.It will be a ghost town. My girlfriend is a cleaner down there.

:24:21. > :24:27.My old man worked the years ago. It is devastating. A few hundred yards

:24:28. > :24:33.from the gates, the burger van that serves scores of workers. It is

:24:34. > :24:41.everybody roundabout I feel sorry for. What are they going to do?

:24:42. > :24:46.Grangemouth sheers many of the economic ills that have befallen

:24:47. > :24:50.tones across Scotland. It is exactly one year since this man opened his

:24:51. > :24:58.clothing store in Grangemouth's shopping arcade. He fears his and

:24:59. > :25:01.other businesses will be badly hit. Everybody is trying their best to

:25:02. > :25:04.rejuvenate the town and get it back up to the standards of the long time

:25:05. > :25:18.ago. Whether we will see that again... We will see what happens.

:25:19. > :25:25.This is a community mourning the loss of 800 jobs and wondering just

:25:26. > :25:26.what the future may hold. Let's get the weather now from

:25:27. > :25:39.Christopher. Fairly bright and breezy across most

:25:40. > :25:44.parts of the country with some showers around and this evening is

:25:45. > :25:49.being breezy. A cold night compared with the last few. The brisk

:25:50. > :25:55.north-westerly winds will continue to be strong up to deal force at

:25:56. > :26:02.times. Some rain across Shetland but mostly dry overnight with some

:26:03. > :26:05.spells colder than of recent nights. Not much on the pressure chart

:26:06. > :26:12.tomorrow with some high pressure which is good news. Tomorrow it is

:26:13. > :26:19.good, probably the best day of the week. After a chilly start,

:26:20. > :26:24.temperatures by mid-afternoon up to around 10 Celsius. With light winds

:26:25. > :26:30.and sunshine, not feeling too bad at all. Not wall-to-wall sunshine with

:26:31. > :26:37.some clouds around but the wind will be much lighter across the far

:26:38. > :26:41.north. The rest of the afternoon into the evening, it starts to cloud

:26:42. > :26:48.overhead of the rain and that comes with an early warning, a yellow

:26:49. > :26:54.warning for rain, meaning to be aware. This is all courtesy of this

:26:55. > :26:58.area of low pressure moving up from England bringing heavy and

:26:59. > :27:02.persistent rain. Difficult conditions on the roads and

:27:03. > :27:06.potentially some localised flooding. That works its way across the

:27:07. > :27:12.country and it will be heavy and persistent and will be replaced by

:27:13. > :27:16.some blustery showers. On Saturday, more rain on the way with this

:27:17. > :27:22.weather front moving in from across the Atlantic. Saturday starts

:27:23. > :27:29.derived from across the East and the South and works its way in from

:27:30. > :27:31.across the North Sea. Make the most of the dry weather tomorrow if you

:27:32. > :27:43.can. Now, a reminder of tonight's main

:27:44. > :27:49.news. 800 workers at Grangemouth's petrochemical plant are to lose

:27:50. > :27:51.their jobs. Ineos see it is not competitive but unions are accusing

:27:52. > :27:54.them of economic and industrial vandalism.

:27:55. > :27:57.Several people are being held at the high-security Govan police station

:27:58. > :28:00.in Glasgow under the Terrorism Act. They're said to be dissident Irish

:28:01. > :28:02.Republicans. It follows an operation co-ordinated by Police Scotland,

:28:03. > :28:05.also involving the Police Service of Northern Ireland and MI5.

:28:06. > :28:08.David Cameron says he wants to roll back the green taxes that add, on

:28:09. > :28:12.average, ?100 to household energy bills. The announcement came in a

:28:13. > :28:17.furious exchange between the prime minister and Ed Miliband over the

:28:18. > :28:19.rising cost of gas and electricity. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

:28:20. > :28:23.have christened their three-month-old son in a private

:28:24. > :28:26.service at the Chapel Royal in St James' Palace in London. Prince

:28:27. > :28:30.George is the third in line to the throne.

:28:31. > :28:34.And that's Reporting Scotland. I'll be back with the headlines at 8pm

:28:35. > :28:37.and the late bulletin just after the ten o'clock news. Until then, from

:28:38. > :28:41.everyone on the team here have a good evening.
