Tonight on Reporting Scotland: The number of people killed in the | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
Glasgow helicopter crash rises to ten. Joe Cusker from Cambuslang was | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
in the Clutha when the police aircraft crashed through the roof of | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
the bar. Meanwhile, the helicopter's operator has grounded a number of | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
air ambulance and police aircraft across the UK after a fault is | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
discovered. Every health board in Scotland fails | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
to meet government targets for patients to receive their first | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
hospital appointment within 12 weeks of being referred. My treatment has | :00:42. | :00:54. | |
been very shabby. The practitioners you meet are fine but the management | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
is a shocker. Also tonight: a new law to protect | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
victims of crime. It includes proposals to make offenders pay | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
towards the cost of supporting victims. | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
A song for Christmas how the primary schoolchildren who made it into the | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
charts are hoping for music industry recognition. | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
And Celtic leave the European stage as they're thrashed 6-1 by | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
Barcelona. A tenth person has died in hospital | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
after the helicopter crash at the Clutha bar in Glasgow nearly two | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
weeks ago. He's been named as 59-year-old Joe Cusker who was from | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
Cambuslang in South Lanarkshire. The news came as Bond Air Services | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
temporarily grounded its fleet of the same model of aircraft involved | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
in the crash. The company said the decision to suspend flights of its | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
EC-135 helicopters was taken after a fault was discovered on an air | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
ambulance operating in the north west of England. Tonight, some | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
aircraft have been allowed to fly again. Our reporter Julie Peacock is | :01:53. | :02:02. | |
at the Glasgow heliport. That decision by Bond Air Services | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
to ground all of its EC-135 helicopters has meant three craft in | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
Scotland have been affected. Two of those were air ambulances and the | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
third was a police helicopter. That was cleared to fly this afternoon | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
and at five o'clock it took off from the helipad here in Glasgow. In the | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
last hour, the air ambulance based in Inverness has also been given the | :02:32. | :02:42. | |
all clear. Bond Air Services have always stressed this was a | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
precautionary measure and they say they are hopeful they can get most | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
if not all of their craft back up and running by the end of tonight. | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
But it is easy to understand their caution given that terrible crash | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
two weeks ago which has now claimed the life of 10th victim. | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
These helicopters are usually helping to save lives. Today there | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
are only trip was to the hangar. Grounded after a fourth was | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
discovered on an identical model used by the North West ambulance | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
service. Bond Air Services says an indicator fault in one of their | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
fleet caused the suspension of all the company's EC-135 across the UK. | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
The same model as the one which crashed into the Clutha pop claiming | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
the lives of ten people and injuring many more. But Bond Air Services | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
save this decision is not linked to the devastating crash in Glasgow. | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
They say they have grounded the feet because the Fort requires greater | :03:47. | :03:47. | |
investigation. The company said: Aviation experts say the move could | :03:48. | :04:06. | |
put people's minds at rest. There with a confidence with helicopter | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
safety in this country and perhaps an investigation would help clear up | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
some of the concerns that people who work on helicopters would have. The | :04:16. | :04:24. | |
ambulance service put contingencies in place today. This is seeking | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
picked up some of the work. Tonight the replacement police helicopter | :04:32. | :04:39. | |
was cleared to fly. But the public's confidence in these | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
aircraft has been left dented by today's events. Those concerns have | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
also been mirrored by unions who have come out to express their | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
concern about today's developments. The pilots union says it wants to | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
see the civil aviation authority take charge and get to the root as | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
to what was behind the decision to ground these planes. We have also | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
heard from the offshore workers union and they are calling for a | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
full enquiry. They say there is widespread concern over the safety | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
of helicopters that can only be answered by a public enquiry. We | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
have been hearing tributes for Joe Cusker who has been named as the | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
10th victim. He died earlier today in hospital. His family have paid | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
their respects and given thanks to the staff who looked after him in | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
the two weeks after the craft crash. Funeral services have been held for | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
two more of the nine people who died in the Glasgow helicopter crash | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
almost a fortnight ago. A ceremony for 33-year-old Colin Gibson was | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
held at Neilston Parish Church in East Renfrewshire, followed by a | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
service at Woodside Crematorium in Paisley. And a ceremony for | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
61-year-old Robert Jenkins was held at Linn Crematorium in Glasgow. Both | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
men were customers in the Clutha bar. | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
No Scottish health board has met new government targets for patients to | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
receive their first hospital appointment within 12 weeks of being | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
referred. The details come from Audit Scotland, which carried out a | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
survey of waiting time performance. Our Social Affairs correspondent, | :06:14. | :06:22. | |
Reevel Alderson is here. Waiting time targets give patients a | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
legal right to receive treatment within a certain time limit. The | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
major target is 12 weeks between GP referral and their initial | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
consultation. According to Audit Scotland, all of the country's | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
health boards failed to meet that target for all patients, although | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
two came within a percentage point of doing so. The second target is 18 | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
weeks from referral to treatment actually starting. Two of the | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
country's health boards, Forth Valley and Lothian, couldn't meet | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
the aim of treating 90% of their patients within that period. I am | :06:52. | :07:02. | |
appalled at the duplicity of the management. They will do all sorts | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
of things to fiddle out of their targets. Eric has a back condition | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
that needs surgery. He was referred for treatment in June but still not | :07:15. | :07:26. | |
-- hasn't had it. My treatment has been very shabby. The practitioners | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
you meet are fine but the management is dreadful. Ministers say the | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
targets are tough but point out they are treating record numbers of | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
patients. A quarter of a million patients were waiting for treatment | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
last September. More than 350,000 outpatients had been seen in the | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
previous three months, up by 8%. If you look at the treatment time | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
guarantee, over 98% are getting the treatment time guarantee, that is a | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
record of success second to none, one that we can be proud of but we | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
want to get that to 100%. Waiting targets can be offset by problems | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
such as ward closures or IT failures. Nursing unions say staff | :08:18. | :08:28. | |
shortages also cause difficulties. It is a tightrope to get right, | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
scales if you like, you constantly have to think about where you have | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
the beds available. We have had money given to increase nursing | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
staffing but they had not been able to recruit fast enough in response | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
to those increase in beds. The government says it is investing ?67 | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
million in addressing capacity issues to bring further improvement | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
on waiting time targets. This report was ordered after NHS | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
Lothian were found to have manipulated waiting time targets. | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
Audit Scotland says it found no evidence of any other board doing | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
the same. But it says it can't say whether new measures to ensure | :09:09. | :09:17. | |
greater openness are working yet. You're watching Reporting Scotland | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
from the BBC. Still to come on the programme. Claims of a crisis in the | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
supply of homes for rent in Scotland. | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
In sport - after an epic fail in Barcelona, we ask why the best team | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
in Scotland faired so poorly in the Champions league. And preparing for | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
battle - Glasgow Warriors on their fight for European survival. That | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
and a bit more later. A new law to help victims of crime | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
has been unanimously backed by MSPs tonight. It includes new moves to | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
update victims about court cases - and to provide cash support funded | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
by offenders. Here's our political editor Brian Taylor. Working as a | :09:52. | :10:02. | |
chef, Conor Fraser is getting his life together but in 2008, his | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
mother was jailed for five months after he lodged complaints about | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
prolonged as a cult abuse while he was a child. He says the court | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
system failed him. It makes me not trust people. I have difficulty | :10:18. | :10:26. | |
getting on, I have my God or a lot. At times I was scared of my own | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
shadow. -- guard up a lot. I could not get on in life, struggle day to | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
date with how things work and what did I do to deserve what happened to | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
me? The criminal justice system will be obliged to help victims and | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
witnesses. Offenders will be surcharged to find victim support. | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
And the justice secretary says there will be a new right to be kept | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
updated about cases. I first into the law 30 years ago. The teams were | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
not treated with the dignity and respect they were entitled to. We | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
are changing that. We are making sure victims have right. Labour says | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
the victims should be allowed to address the court. They merely want | :11:19. | :11:26. | |
to hear the case of the victim in court in their words and they do not | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
get that opportunity and their lives their lives regretting their lives | :11:30. | :11:37. | |
the they have not spoken up. Ministers said the idea needed | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
closer scrutiny. He urged support for the bill as it stood and he got | :11:43. | :11:58. | |
it. With reservations, MSPs all backed the idea that this is a step | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
forward for victims writes. Connor is simply happy that someone finally | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
is listening. Five people have been arrested in | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
connection with crowd trouble at last week's Motherwell versus Celtic | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
game. Seats were damaged, a flare was set off and two smoke bombs were | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
thrown onto the pitch at Fir Park last Friday. | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
It's been claimed that there's a crisis in the supply of homes for | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
rent in Scotland. An online letting company says it's carried out a | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
survey that shows a big gap between supply and demand. Lisa Summers | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
reports. John has been looking for a flat four months. Deciding to be a | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
bit choose E4 a property has been a bit of a headache. You would already | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
know there is no chance of getting this, someone has already taken it. | :12:56. | :13:06. | |
According to figures, John's situation typifies a growing gulf | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
between potential tenants and houses available for rent. The private | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
rented sector in Scotland has doubled. More people are living in | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
rented accommodation which is putting pressure on supply. There | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
was not enough stock in the market to service that demand. The hardest | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
place to rent is Aberdeen but across Scotland there are not enough rented | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
properties and not enough houses to accommodate demand. The industry | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
says it should be constructing 25,000 homes a year but instead is | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
only building 14,000. We need to bring existing buildings back into | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
use so we need to find methods of bringing those homes back into use. | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
The issue of housing was debated by parliament last week with the | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
government accused of creating the worst housing crisis since the end | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
of World War II. It says a housing bill was introduced that says it | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
aims to improve the quality of housing and protect the rights of | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
tenants. But that does not help you find a flat in a hurry. Other | :14:17. | :14:27. | |
stories from across Scotland this Thursday. | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
Owners of failed opencast coal mines in Scotland are not able to walk | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
away from their obligations to clean them up according to a court ruling. | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
The Appeals Court of the Court of Session has overturned a previous | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
ruling by saying liquidators for the company Scottish Coal cannot abandon | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
land as a way of avoiding obligations attached to it. | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
A New Year boost for commuters from the south west trying to get to | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
Edinburgh for the start of a working day. At the moment, the earliest | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
they can get there is 9.30am, but Transpennine have announced plans to | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
include an earlier train to the capital from Lockerbie in a new | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
timetable starting next May. Dozens of students have staged a | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
sit-in at the University of Aberdeen as part of a national day of action | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
about claims of bullying tactics. The university said it would not | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
want to limit peaceful and legal protest. | :15:12. | :15:22. | |
Students were being disciplined for refusing to cross picket lines on | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
strike days. That is a legitimate reason not to go to class. | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
The first memorials to victims of the Tay Bridge disaster have been | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
put in place. At least 59 people died when the central span of the | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
rail bridge collapsed during a severe storm in 1879. The memorials | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
will be unveiled on the anniversary of the disaster later this month. | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
And there are more stories from your area and all the latest news, 24 | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
hours a day on BBC Scotland's website. | :15:51. | :16:00. | |
It's not every day primary school children make it into the charts, | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
never mind get considered for a major music award, but that's what's | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
happened to pupils at a school in North Lanarkshire. The choir at | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
Ladywell School are apparently being considered for a Brit award after | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
recording a song in memory of six-year-old Caden Beggan, who died | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
of meningitis. Laura Maxwell has more. | :16:18. | :16:25. | |
Pupils at Ladywell School and Motherwell recording their version | :16:26. | :16:33. | |
of a well-known Christmas favourite. Released last year, the children | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
dedicated this single to their friend Caden Beggan. The | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
six-year-old died last member after a month long fight against | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
meningitis. One of the ways we have coped with his loss is to talk about | :16:48. | :16:56. | |
it, talk about his story, talk about him, as well as the condition that | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
took his life. Today at school was disbelief that | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
there single might be in the running for an award. I was shocked. I did | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
not think that was going to happen. I was gobsmacked. I am happy that we | :17:10. | :17:19. | |
did it for such a cause. It spread all around the world what happened | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
to him. It was a lovely thing to do for him. | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
No one here expected this single to be such a success. After it was | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
released last November, it made it to number five in the Scottish | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
download charts and number 19 in the UK charts. | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
The Brit award is just unbelievable. I was speechless when I read it in | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
the paper this morning. You could never have expected that, that a | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
choir would achieve such recognition. | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
So far, the single has raised ?7,000 per Caden Beggan's charities. For | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
now, the choir will have to wait because the short list for the | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
awards are not most -- are not announced until next month. | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
David Currie's here with the day's sports news. | :18:17. | :18:17. | |
David. The gap between Scotland's best and | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
European football's best teams has seldom been more evident than after | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
Celtic's 6-1 thrashing by Barcelona. It's led to Neil Lennon publicly | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
criticising his players. But one former Barca star says it would be a | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
mistake for Celtic to start spending big chasing a Champions League | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
dream. Jonathan Sutherland reports. It was a hugely disappointing to the | :18:41. | :18:51. | |
champions league game. First of all, Barcelona were fantastic, as we | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
expect them to do the, but we were very poor. Some of the players | :18:56. | :19:09. | |
performances were not acceptable. The Catalans were ahead by three | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
goals at half. The early part of the second half was the Neymar show. He | :19:14. | :19:26. | |
scored a hat-trick. A late header from Georgios Samaras | :19:27. | :19:36. | |
was not consolation. We started off nervously, there was | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
no bravery on the ball. After the highs of last season, a | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
sense of anti-climax this time around. | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
Celtic is a team that should not expect to go to the Nou Camp and do | :19:52. | :19:59. | |
anything. It is quite clear that there is a gap. I do not think | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
anybody would argue about that. It is not worth spending a lot of money | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
on players. I do not think you can make the semifinals. | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
Celtic are ahead of the pack on home soil. But for now, the Scottish | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
champions are of the champions league place. -- pace. | :20:25. | :20:37. | |
Another Glasgow team's fighting for survival in Europe. The Warriors are | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
bottom of their group in Rugby's Heineken Cup. They must win their | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
remaining three matches to have any chance of reaching the last eight. | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
Tomorrow they're at home to Cardiff Blues. Rhona McLeod reports. | :20:48. | :20:49. | |
In sport, we often talk about the must win game. But in this | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
situation, how does the coach approach it? Sometimes I do use the | :20:53. | :21:06. | |
very odd swear word. Before the game, it is about building them up. | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
Just a reminder of what we need to do. Expressing how much I want to | :21:13. | :21:21. | |
see the best from them. Just having a few quiet words here and there. A | :21:22. | :21:30. | |
big part of my job is to help them do their best. | :21:31. | :21:37. | |

Now, a look at what else is happening across Scottish sport. | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
Formula One driver Paul Di Resta has been dropped by Force India. That | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
leaves the Bathgate driver without a team for next season. | :22:02. | :22:04. | |

The 21-year-old midfielder signing up till the summer of 2016. | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
An injury to Ryan Stevenson means Hearts have just 12 fit senior | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
players. They'll fill the subs bench with youths from the ground staff | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
for their home game against Inverness on Saturday. | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
There have been some heavy defeats, but they are different when you play | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
them at Tynecastle. We know it will be a very difficult match. | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
Rain has forced the suspension of play at the Nelson Mandela golf | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
championship in South Africa. Glasgow's Scott Jamieson, the | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
defending champion, was two over par 13 holes into his first round. | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
And there are more sports stories plus all the latest news, 24 hours a | :22:49. | :22:58. | |
day on BBC Sport Scotland's website. That is all for me tonight. | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
From the first rules of golf to Grand Theft Auto five, Scotland has | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
contributed much to the world. Now dozens of treasures from the | :23:10. | :23:11. | |
National Library of Scotland's archives have been brought together | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
for a Wha's Like Us? Exhibition, featuring our most iconic | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
inventions. Rob Flett reports. This is an a to Z of Scottish | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
achievement, ranging from John Logie Baird's television to the more | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
obscure. Most people know that Alexander Graham Bell invented the | :23:31. | :23:38. | |
telephone. Did you know that James Dewar embedded the vacuum flask. -- | :23:39. | :23:53. | |
invented the vacuum flask? This exhibition covers 500 years of | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
dreams and ideas. This is the work of Doctor John McIntyre. He did not | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
invent the x-ray, but he was the first to establish an x-ray unit at | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
Glasgow Royal infirmary. Professor Higgs received his Nobel prize this | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
week. Continuing Scotland's long reputation for scientific | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
innovation. And then, of course, there is tartan. We cannot help out | :24:24. | :24:31. | |
others see us. But it helps us stand out from the crowd. This is how we | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
are illustrating W in the exhibition. There is a kitsch | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
element, but it is also illustrating how a whiskey firm -- whisky firm is | :24:44. | :24:57. | |
so important. Think it is a good image for Scotland. | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
You can judge this snapshot of Scotland achievement for yourself | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
from tomorrow. And now the weather. | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
Another very mild day. There wasn't much brightness around today. That | :25:12. | :25:20. | |
will continue tonight with lots of cloud around. There will be some | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
spells of rain as well, but it will stay on the mild side. Some heavy | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
outbreaks of rain still to come for West of Scotland. Southerly winds | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
freshening as well, strongest on the West Coast, touching gale force over | :25:36. | :25:46. | |
Shetland Peter in the night. Once again, for most of us, we are | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
holding into double figures tomorrow. A cloudy, wet and windy | :25:50. | :25:59. | |
day tomorrow. Rain moving across from the West and then clears. A | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
marked improvement for the afternoon. It will become largely | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
dry and we will see some decent spells of sunshine, certainly a | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
brighter day than today. For the South West, much of the central | :26:15. | :26:28. | |
belt, quite mild. But temperatures falling away slightly in the | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
afternoon. For Shetland, quite misty, rain returning here in the | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
afternoon. For the Western Isles and the West Coast, showers coming in | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
for the afternoon. The wind. To strengthen too, touching gale force | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
later in the day of the Western Isles. That will drive in showers | :26:45. | :26:51. | |
tomorrow, including some heavy ones. It stays very unsettled for the | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
weekend. We are watching this area of low-pressure, strong winds | :26:55. | :27:09. | |
heading in from the West. Stealing and into Sunday as well. Heavy rain | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
and gale are severe gale force winds. Now, a reminder of tonight's | :27:16. | :27:25. | |
main news. A tense person has died in hospital | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
after their helicopter crash at the Clutha Bar. He was named as Joe | :27:30. | :27:42. | |
Cusker. A judge has criticised the Prime Minister for commenting about | :27:43. | :27:45. | |
the fraud trial at which Nigella Lawson has denied that she is a | :27:46. | :27:47. | |
regular drug user. David Cameron said in an interview | :27:48. | :27:51. | |
that he was on team Nigella, prompting the judge to tell jurors | :27:52. | :27:54. | |
that they should disregard his remarks. The head of the body which | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
sets MPs' pay has insisted he will press ahead with a proposed 11 per | :27:59. | :28:02. | |
cent pay rise, despite criticism from party leaders. | :28:03. | :28:04. | |
And that's Reporting Scotland. I'll be back with the headlines at eight | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
and the late bulletin just after the ten o'clock news. Until then, from | :28:09. | :28:11. | |
everyone on the team here in Glasgow and around the country, have a very | :28:12. | :28:13. | |
good evening. | :28:14. | :28:17. |
