:00:17. > :00:21.Tonight on Reporting Scotland: ALL nine victims of the Clutha

:00:22. > :00:25.helicopter crash have now been named and their bodies have been released

:00:26. > :00:29.to their families. Relatives of some of those who lost lives were amonst

:00:30. > :00:33.those to come to the scene again today as people continue to want to

:00:34. > :00:42.show their respect by laying floral tributes.

:00:43. > :00:49.I had to do something. I couldn't just let it pass unnoticed. So I

:00:50. > :00:53.felt driven to do it. The wreckage of the helicopter

:00:54. > :00:56.arrives at Farnborough, where accident experts will begin to

:00:57. > :01:04.examine it for clues as to what caused the crash. Also tonight: Good

:01:05. > :01:11.marks in English and maths, but could do better in science. And the

:01:12. > :01:13.diggers moving as Hampden begins its transformation from a national

:01:14. > :01:16.football stadium to an international athletics areana.

:01:17. > :01:21.Good evening. The bodies of all nine people killed in the Glasgow

:01:22. > :01:24.helicopter tragedy are being released to their families. Six

:01:25. > :01:27.people in the Clutha died along with three others inside the Police

:01:28. > :01:34.Scotland aircraft when it smashed through the roof of the pub on

:01:35. > :01:38.Friday night. Tonight, eleven people are still being treated in hospitals

:01:39. > :01:48.across the cities, three of them in intensive care. Within the past

:01:49. > :01:50.half-hour, the helicopter has arrived at Farnborough. As the

:01:51. > :01:53.investigation into what went so catastrophically wrong continues, a

:01:54. > :01:56.special fund's been launched to help families and survivors. Tributes

:01:57. > :01:58.have been paid to those killed, the injured and their rescuers by

:01:59. > :02:02.ordinary Glaswegians, politicians and the city's own Billy Connolly.

:02:03. > :02:05.In a moment we'll hear from our reporters near to the crash site and

:02:06. > :02:09.at the Glasgow helipad, but first here's our home affairs

:02:10. > :02:13.correspondent, Reevel Alderson. The Clutha Vaults is now being

:02:14. > :02:18.surveyed by Glasgow City Council to make it safe. It was full last

:02:19. > :02:22.Friday night. Nine people died when the police helicopter crashed into

:02:23. > :02:26.the roof. The final four victims have now been named. They were

:02:27. > :02:34.Robert Jenkins from East Kilbride, Colin Gibson from air, Mark O pray

:02:35. > :02:42.from East Kilbride and John McGarrigle from Cumbernauld. Another

:02:43. > :02:47.five people, including the three on board the helicopter, have also

:02:48. > :02:51.died. Fire crews have confirmed there were no further fatalities.

:02:52. > :02:55.With the removal of the helicopter to be examined by investigators, the

:02:56. > :02:59.focus in Glasgow has returned to those killed and injured in the

:03:00. > :03:02.accident. One of those treated in hospital for minor injuries was Ian

:03:03. > :03:07.Kelly who had been standing by the door with a friend when the

:03:08. > :03:11.helicopter crashed into the roof. I remember the blast, the tremendous

:03:12. > :03:18.noise. And then we were on the ground. There was no sensation of

:03:19. > :03:24.actually moving. There must have been a tremendous force, but I

:03:25. > :03:29.wasn't aware of it. I just found myself outside on the ground. The

:03:30. > :03:36.pub is busy on a Friday night. Last week it was packed, and Mario

:03:37. > :03:41.couldn't sit in his usual seat, directly underneath where the

:03:42. > :03:46.aircraft impacted. He was knocked to the ground, injuring his hand and

:03:47. > :03:53.head. It doesn't go away. I just know how lucky I am to be able to

:03:54. > :03:58.talk to you guys and talk to people that I care about. If I had been sat

:03:59. > :04:08.in my usual spot, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Because

:04:09. > :04:13.nobody in that bit has... Both men are grateful for the prompt

:04:14. > :04:18.and efficient actions of the emergency services. I know that they

:04:19. > :04:23.train for these circumstances, but to be actually faced with it, it was

:04:24. > :04:28.all very controlled, very supportive. Now that the rescue

:04:29. > :04:30.phase is over, the investigation is under way, and survivors and

:04:31. > :04:41.bereaved relatives have one question. How did it happen?

:04:42. > :04:48.We can cross now to Aileen Clarke who is near the crash site for us.

:04:49. > :04:52.Work continues on the crash site tonight, work to make the building

:04:53. > :04:56.safe for investigators to continue their work to try to gather any clue

:04:57. > :05:03.they can as to why the helicopter fell out of the sky. But today has

:05:04. > :05:07.been a day of people paying personal tributes to those who died. Constant

:05:08. > :05:12.streams of people coming to lay flowers, and I think it has taken a

:05:13. > :05:17.few days for the enormity of what has happened here to really sink in,

:05:18. > :05:21.because today I have seen more flowers laid than in all the days up

:05:22. > :05:26.to this point, so many that if you come with me here, you will see that

:05:27. > :05:31.they have been moved to just stand by the river here, and that is where

:05:32. > :05:36.they will remain. And when the road opens outside the pub, the tributes

:05:37. > :05:40.can stay. Even tonight, on a terrible night of rain like this,

:05:41. > :05:43.people are still coming and still laying flowers and paying their

:05:44. > :05:48.respects. This morning, the family of Robert

:05:49. > :05:53.Jenkins came to lay their flowers. He was named last night as one of

:05:54. > :05:55.those who died. They spent a few moments reading the messages of

:05:56. > :06:02.comfort and support left by hundreds of ordinary people moved by this

:06:03. > :06:11.extraordinary tragedy. Others who came bearing flowers also bought

:06:12. > :06:19.heavy hearts for friends lost. He was a lovely boy. One of life's

:06:20. > :06:23.best. Also bringing tributes today, the Deputy Prime Minister and

:06:24. > :06:30.Scottish Secretary. Music was always on offer at the Clutha pub,

:06:31. > :06:33.reflected in the tributes. And by Billy Connolly who himself played

:06:34. > :06:38.there, he came to express his respects. I feel the same as

:06:39. > :06:43.everyone else, it is not quite the same as it was yesterday. It is an

:06:44. > :06:49.extraordinary affair. And I had to do something. I couldn't just let it

:06:50. > :07:00.pass unnoticed. So I thought driven to do it. As the rescue and then

:07:01. > :07:03.recovery operation unfolded, throughout, the bright light of the

:07:04. > :07:07.city's Central Mosque lit up the sky line just beyond. We are here to

:07:08. > :07:14.share our grief with all the families and victims and those

:07:15. > :07:19.injured. We offer our services and open our doors at the mosque for

:07:20. > :07:24.those who want to come. For many reasons and none, people have felt

:07:25. > :07:30.the need to come here. I just wanted to come to show my respects. I just

:07:31. > :07:38.wanted to pay my respects, and that is about it. That is all you can do.

:07:39. > :07:43.It wasn't just hear that tributes were being paid. Over at Holyrood

:07:44. > :07:48.today in the Scottish Parliament, party leaders paid their own

:07:49. > :07:55.tributes. And much was made of the particular spirit of this city.

:07:56. > :08:01.Brian Taylor reports. Acting for us all, Holyrood's

:08:02. > :08:09.presiding officer signed the book of condolence in Parliament. She made

:08:10. > :08:13.tribute to the courage of the emergency services. And it was

:08:14. > :08:15.announced that the Scottish government will match the funding

:08:16. > :08:19.from Glasgow City Council to help the affected families. But this was

:08:20. > :08:23.about sympathy and solidarity, not just material support. It is the

:08:24. > :08:28.people of Glasgow who will be the way, just as they did on Friday

:08:29. > :08:37.night. It was a black day for Glasgow and for Scotland, but we can

:08:38. > :08:42.take heart in the exemplar response of our emergency services. We have

:08:43. > :08:49.all been inspired by the response of Glaswegians to come to the aid of

:08:50. > :08:54.fellow Glaswegians. Friday night was a night when the frail state of

:08:55. > :09:00.humanity shocked us, and made us humble, even proud. Nobody knows how

:09:01. > :09:06.they will react when faced with such an unimaginable scene. In Scotland,

:09:07. > :09:09.we pulled together. In the saddest of situations, we have seen the very

:09:10. > :09:14.best of the people of Glasgow. Courage, compassion, character. We

:09:15. > :09:18.will be all the more aware of our vulnerability and how much we value

:09:19. > :09:24.one another. There will be questions, but later. For now, MSPs

:09:25. > :09:32.lined up to pay tribute, united in sympathy.

:09:33. > :09:37.And of course we must remember tonight at 11 people remain in

:09:38. > :09:43.hospital, three of them in intensive care. If you just look over this

:09:44. > :09:47.shoulder, you can see that work is continuing on this building. The

:09:48. > :09:52.investigators have still been there today. They may be near for a great

:09:53. > :09:56.many days, trying to find the answers to what happened here, and

:09:57. > :10:00.there are a great many families who are very keen to know the truth of

:10:01. > :10:09.just why that helicopter crashed into that pub last Friday night.

:10:10. > :10:12.Aileen Clarke, many thanks. The helicopter is now with crash

:10:13. > :10:16.investigators, but it was based at the Glasgow City Heliport on the

:10:17. > :10:18.banks of the Clyde, and our reporter Willie Johnston is there for us now.

:10:19. > :10:26.Willie. The heliport here on the Clyde, just

:10:27. > :10:29.two miles down the River Clyde from the Clutha pub. The crew, now

:10:30. > :10:38.commemorated by these floral tributes, that close to safety. Also

:10:39. > :10:41.based here at the heliport, another Eurocopter EC 135 identical to the

:10:42. > :10:44.one that crashed, this one operated by the Scottish Ambulance Service.

:10:45. > :10:50.After a brief grounding at the weekend, it's been back in the skies

:10:51. > :10:54.over Glasgow today. We have also learned that Police Scotland have

:10:55. > :10:58.not been without air cover, because back-up has been on offer from

:10:59. > :11:17.colleagues in England. But when will they get their own craft back? And

:11:18. > :11:20.air services -- Well, their helicopter was operated under

:11:21. > :11:24.contract by Bond Air Services, and the police authority has said they

:11:25. > :11:26.will require Bond to replace it, although they haven't yet said when

:11:27. > :11:30.that will happen. Confidence is clearly an issue, and police

:11:31. > :11:33.officers will expect to be reassured that the replacement craft provided

:11:34. > :11:37.is safe fit for purpose. However, we know that Eurocopter have found no

:11:38. > :11:39.reason so far to order this model of helicopter to be grounded. We also

:11:40. > :11:43.understand that a meeting between Bond and their emergency service

:11:44. > :11:44.clients is expected to be held tomorrow.

:11:45. > :11:46.Serve what happens next with the investigation?

:11:47. > :11:48.Well, , the wreckage of the helicopter left Glasgow yesterday

:11:49. > :11:52.afternoon and arrived just a short time ago at the headquarters of the

:11:53. > :11:55.Air Accident Investigation Branch at Farnborough in the south of England

:11:56. > :11:57.where it will undergo detailed examination. The full report will

:11:58. > :12:00.take some considerable time to prepare, but an interim bulletin

:12:01. > :12:03.could and will be issued much earlier, perhaps within days, if any

:12:04. > :12:11.more immediate issues are identified. It is worth pointing out

:12:12. > :12:14.that the air accident investigation Branch can only determine "cause"

:12:15. > :12:16.and not anthing to do with "liability". For that, the

:12:17. > :12:19.Procurator Fiscal service in Glasgow will lead its own investigation to

:12:20. > :12:22.determine if a fatal accident inquiry should be held, or indeed if

:12:23. > :12:29.anyone should face criminal charges in connection with the crash.

:12:30. > :12:34.Billy Johnson, many thanks. You're watching Reporting Scotland from the

:12:35. > :12:37.BBC. Still to come on the programme: The epic and extraordinary story of

:12:38. > :12:41.the British Army officer from Edinburgh sent to a prisoner of war

:12:42. > :12:45.camp in Japan, as portrayed by Colin Firth.

:12:46. > :12:49.In sport, Inverness Caley Thistle will reveal their new manager in the

:12:50. > :12:52.morning. But we'll name the man in charge tonight.

:12:53. > :12:55.And getting ready for athletes to experience the Hampden roar. The

:12:56. > :12:56.transformation of the national stadium begins from football to

:12:57. > :13:06.track and field. Police ranks have united behind

:13:07. > :13:11.proposals to abolish corroboration in what appears to be a significant

:13:12. > :13:14.change in position. Both the Scottish Police Federation and the

:13:15. > :13:16.Association of Police Superintendents had previously

:13:17. > :13:18.expressed concern about losing the centuries-old requirement for two

:13:19. > :13:24.corroborating pieces of evidence to prove guilt. But both now support

:13:25. > :13:27.abolishing the need for corroboration, which is seen as a

:13:28. > :13:31.marked shift in position by Holyrood's Justice Committee.

:13:32. > :13:36.People in central Scotland are more likely to die from alcohol-related

:13:37. > :13:39.causes than those in comparable parts of northern England, according

:13:40. > :13:43.to a study for for NHS Health Scotland and the Glasgow Centre for

:13:44. > :13:46.Population Health. It suggests sales of alcohol per person were 13%

:13:47. > :13:50.higher in Central Scotland than in north-east England and deaths were

:13:51. > :13:55.67% higher than in the north-west of England.

:13:56. > :14:00.Scottish teenagers are better at English and maths than teenagers in

:14:01. > :14:04.the rest of Britain. That's the message from a big international

:14:05. > :14:08.survey out today. But they're not quite as good at science. And

:14:09. > :14:10.there's concern too that some of our international rivals are doing far

:14:11. > :14:18.better. Here's our education correspondent Jamie McIvor.

:14:19. > :14:24.Many different elements make up the world's education systems. This

:14:25. > :14:27.survey of half a million 15-year-olds tries to let us compare

:14:28. > :14:32.how well different countries are doing. The report tells of Scotland

:14:33. > :14:36.is doing roughly as well as the rest of Britain. In fact, we are top when

:14:37. > :14:41.it comes to England in maths, but behind on science. But at this

:14:42. > :14:45.school, they are punching above their weight in science. They have

:14:46. > :14:53.had some innovative ideas, like special mentals. We have people who

:14:54. > :14:56.have mostly retired from their various positions in life, a lot of

:14:57. > :15:05.them graduates from universities who have also worked in various

:15:06. > :15:08.industries. It enables them to close that gap between aspirations, saying

:15:09. > :15:14.I want to study science, and this is how you go about it. This school is

:15:15. > :15:18.in a deprived part of Glasgow, and the Government says that today's

:15:19. > :15:22.report shows it is making progress in helping pupils in less well-off

:15:23. > :15:27.areas. To bring up attainment for everybody, we have to bring up

:15:28. > :15:32.standards, and this is showing that gap beginning to close. But how are

:15:33. > :15:36.we doing internationally? Scotland is included with the rest of the UK

:15:37. > :15:43.in world rankings, and Britain doesn't make the top 20 in any

:15:44. > :15:48.subject. Far east countries do particularly well. I think we need

:15:49. > :15:51.to be careful about assuming that what other countries are doing is

:15:52. > :15:56.something that we can necessarily replicate. I don't think there is a

:15:57. > :16:00.menu or recipe that you can take, because the context for the

:16:01. > :16:07.education system is very difficult. Indeed, research like this is always

:16:08. > :16:10.open to a degree of interpretation, by politicians as well as officials.

:16:11. > :16:14.Newsnight Scotland will be taking up that story in more detail tonight.

:16:15. > :16:21.You can tune in at 11 o'clock on BBC Two for analysis and discussion. Now

:16:22. > :16:25.for some other stories from across Scotland this Tuesday.

:16:26. > :16:28.Bank account holders at RBS say they are still experiencing problems

:16:29. > :16:34.following last night's IT fault which left an estimated 750,000

:16:35. > :16:41.people unable to use their credit and debit cards. Some like Jennifer

:16:42. > :16:47.say recent deposits have disappeared.

:16:48. > :16:52.It's worse today. I managed to get back into the online this morning

:16:53. > :16:57.but all the ongoing transactions have disappeared so I now have no

:16:58. > :17:01.money so yes, worse. I can use my card but I can't use it because

:17:02. > :17:08.there's no money there. Members of the EIS join staff from

:17:09. > :17:12.other unions in strike action. It's over a 1% pay offer for lecturers

:17:13. > :17:16.and admin staff. University bosses claim most staff do not support the

:17:17. > :17:21.action. Detect is are investigating the

:17:22. > :17:25.theft of a quarter of a million pounds worth of vodka and other

:17:26. > :17:30.spirits on the outskirts of Dumfries. The haul was taken from an

:17:31. > :17:35.industrial estate. The board of NHS Highland has

:17:36. > :17:42.approved plans to set up an action team to combat an increase in

:17:43. > :17:50.hospital soup beingcations -- super bug cases. It's failed to reach

:17:51. > :17:54.targets on C c.difficile. We have low levels in this board. People

:17:55. > :17:58.should not be worried when they come into hospital. We doing everything

:17:59. > :18:02.that we can to reduce infection and to ensure that people don't get

:18:03. > :18:05.infections. The other thing is, a lot of the infections we are

:18:06. > :18:15.currently seeing are in the community, rather than in the

:18:16. > :18:18.hospitals. Galashiels has been upgraded to a

:18:19. > :18:21.category A listing meaning that historic Scotland regard the

:18:22. > :18:24.structure as being of national importance.

:18:25. > :18:32.There are more stories from your area and the latest News 24 hours a

:18:33. > :18:37.day on BBC Scotland's website. A new film based on an extraordinary

:18:38. > :18:43.true story gets its UK premier tomorrow. Colin Firth starts in the

:18:44. > :18:48.Railway Man as a scotch prisoner of war who was one of thousands forced

:18:49. > :18:55.to build the Thai Burma railway in the war. Spurred on by his wife, he

:18:56. > :18:59.not only met his captors, but forgave them.

:19:00. > :19:04.Eric was just 21 when he was captured by the Japanese and, like

:19:05. > :19:08.thousands of POWs, forced to build the infamous Thai Burma railway.

:19:09. > :19:14.Tortured by the captors for building a radio receiver to boost morale, he

:19:15. > :19:19.returned home a broken man. I've never been to the Highlands

:19:20. > :19:23.before. Very romantic. The railway man based on his memoir, tells how

:19:24. > :19:30.this gentle rail enthusiast eventually tackled his fears,

:19:31. > :19:34.spurred on by his wife. He not only confronted his captors but federal

:19:35. > :19:39.gave them. Huge joy on a massive scale and an amazing subject which

:19:40. > :19:45.is, you know, forgiveness and that you can be happy after the worst

:19:46. > :19:51.things that life can throw at you -- forgave them. Meeting Eric himself,

:19:52. > :19:58.the most charming, dapper, twinically man you can ever meet. He

:19:59. > :20:09.became a role model forme. -- twinkly man. Eric died last year and

:20:10. > :20:14.his widow says he'd be proud of the film and he said that the hating had

:20:15. > :20:18.to stop. He said that to me and I wondered if we were being disloyal

:20:19. > :20:24.to these young men whose graves were in front of us and voiced that query

:20:25. > :20:35.to Eric. He just thought and he said, Patty, some time the hating

:20:36. > :20:38.has to stop. That sums up him. Time for a look at the sports news

:20:39. > :20:43.now. Thank you very much. Good evening.

:20:44. > :20:47.Work has begun on the national football stadium's ?27 million

:20:48. > :20:52.Commonwealth Games make-over. Hampden's being transformed from a

:20:53. > :20:56.football venue to an athletics arena for sum summer's see vent in

:20:57. > :21:00.Glasgow. Jane Lewis has been hearing why this special Hampden roar is

:21:01. > :21:08.likely to remain. As a football stadium, Hampden has

:21:09. > :21:18.seen it all. Record breaking crowds in days gone by and in more recent

:21:19. > :21:23.time times, some famous victories. But the diggers have already moved

:21:24. > :21:28.in and work is well under way, as this stadium undergoes a massive

:21:29. > :21:34.transformation from football stadium to athletics arena. The length and

:21:35. > :21:39.width of the playing area is not large enough for an international

:21:40. > :21:44.standard athletics track. We need to build up, remove the top surface of

:21:45. > :21:48.the pitch so we can build a platform 1.9 metres above this existing pitch

:21:49. > :21:53.level so above our heads. After the pioneering construction work, this

:21:54. > :21:57.is how Hampden will look, almost unrecognisable. But those who'll be

:22:02. > :22:05.Will it feel like the Hampden that I know, a completely different

:22:06. > :22:08.stadium? I suppose I won't know until I'm there, but I think the

:22:09. > :22:13.atmosphere will be as great as it's been at football matches as well.

:22:14. > :22:16.That's it on its way. Soon there'll be a track. One minute there's

:22:17. > :22:21.grass, the next minute there'll be a track. The new look Hampden and

:22:22. > :22:26.surrounding area should be ready in May at a total cost of ?27 million,

:22:27. > :22:32.and come July, a unique athletics experience will be on offer to some

:22:33. > :22:34.of the world's top athletes. Inverness Caledonian Thistle will

:22:35. > :22:39.announce John Hughes as new manager in the morning. The current Alloa

:22:40. > :22:43.boss, Paul Hartley and the former Kilmarnock manager were ruled out

:22:44. > :22:49.today, leaving the way clear for the former Livingstone Hibernian and

:22:50. > :22:53.Falkirk manager to take over. Hughes went to Hartlepool and was sacked in

:22:54. > :22:56.May after Fawing to keep the club in English League One. Now a look at

:22:57. > :23:03.what else is happening across Scottish sport.

:23:04. > :23:09.-- failing to keep the club in English league. John Higgins says

:23:10. > :23:14.his form is soul destroying but he's still in the competition and he

:23:15. > :23:18.meets Steven Maguire for a place in the quarter-finals. Glasgow Warriors

:23:19. > :23:22.head to Wales on European duty this week. Back-to-back matches against

:23:23. > :23:25.Cardiff Blues could go a long way to deciding whether the Warriors can

:23:26. > :23:30.fight through to the Heineken Cup quarter-finals.

:23:31. > :23:33.It's massive for us. We have got such a good opportunity of achieving

:23:34. > :23:39.that. That's why this weekend's game is so important, especially the

:23:40. > :23:45.back-to-back games against Cardiff. Greg Rutherford is the latest name

:23:46. > :23:51.to confirm he'll take part in the GB athletics international at the

:23:52. > :23:57.Emirates in Glasgow. There are more sports stories, plus

:23:58. > :24:01.the latest News 24 hours a day on BBC Sport Scotland's website.

:24:02. > :24:06.And that is all of the sport for tonight.

:24:07. > :24:10.Thank you very much. Time for the weather now.

:24:11. > :24:15.Hi, Judith. Good evening to you. Some rather

:24:16. > :24:19.tempestuous weather on its way during tomorrow night and into

:24:20. > :24:22.Thursday. In the meantime, we still have cloud in this weather front. It

:24:23. > :24:26.will continue to sink south, taking away the cloud and rain behind it.

:24:27. > :24:31.Drier, clearer conditions following on, colder too. A few showers in the

:24:32. > :24:36.north but where we see damp ground or wet ground after the rain today,

:24:37. > :24:39.there'll be an ice risk and frost in places too as temperatures fall to

:24:40. > :24:45.around freezing. Keeping a brisk wind in the north

:24:46. > :24:49.bringing the showers in. Tomorrow is cold, bright with an ice risk, but a

:24:50. > :24:53.much different day with a lot of sunshine in the forecast.

:24:54. > :24:58.Showers in the north in the course of the day.

:24:59. > :25:01.In the afternoon, frequent showers in the Northern Isles and northern

:25:02. > :25:06.Scotland, turning to snow over higher ground with a colder feel to

:25:07. > :25:09.the day all together. Plenty of sunshine through the

:25:10. > :25:14.central lowlands and southern Scotland. A much different day to

:25:15. > :25:20.what we saw today. As we head into the evenings, we see

:25:21. > :25:26.the change. The winds strengthen. The reason for

:25:27. > :25:31.this is, we have this low pressure to the forth of us and it will trek

:25:32. > :25:35.across Scotland. The tight isobars here mean severe gales and stormy

:25:36. > :25:38.conditions for Wednesday night into Thursday. The Met Office have a

:25:39. > :25:43.yellow warning. It's an early warning for severe gales the length

:25:44. > :25:49.and breadth of the country for Thursday morning, so a treacherous

:25:50. > :25:54.rush hour. Gusts of 80 potentially in the

:25:55. > :25:58.north. Not only that to contend with, but the driving rain. It's

:25:59. > :26:04.short-lived. The rain pulls away. Then we turn our atension snow with

:26:05. > :26:08.cold air plunging towards us. It becomes drier in the south. The

:26:09. > :26:13.winds ease down a little but it's going to be a much colder day for

:26:14. > :26:17.everyone. Thank you very much. A reminder of

:26:18. > :26:21.the main news: The bodies of all nine people killed

:26:22. > :26:25.in the Glasgow helicopter tragedy are being released to their

:26:30. > :26:33.the police aircraft when it smashed through the roof of the pub on
