from the Atlantic. Thank you very much. That's it from us. On BBC | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Tonight, on Reporting Scotland. A blow to this year's Commonwealth | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
Games in Glasgow. Jessica Ennis is the Olympic | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
Champion. Jessica Ennis-Hill, one of the | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
world's best-known athletes, is pregnant and will not compete. Ennis | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
is not the first high-profile athlete to withdraw. We'll assess | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
the impact of her absence. Also on the programme. An inquiry | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
hears of problems detected in this helicopter's gearbox days before it | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
crashed into the sea killing 16 men. This man was enjoying a night out | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
when he was knocked down and killed by this drunk driver who has been | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
jailed for five years. If you are aware of anybody about to drive | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
after drinking alcohol, please do everything in your power to stop | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
them. Also this evening. The full story of | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
a Glasgow family's appeal for the release of their father who is being | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
held in a Pakistani prison. And we're in Melbourne with Andy | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
Murray as he prepares for the first Grand Slam event of the tennis | :01:16. | :01:16. | |
season. She was the star of the Olympics and | :01:17. | :01:26. | |
is an ambassador for the Commonwealth Games but Jessica | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
Ennis-Hill won't be coming to Glasgow this summer because she is | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
pregnant. Ennis-Hill is the first big name athlete to pull out of the | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
competition, and with other stars hedging their bets, could this be a | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
blow for organisers? Our Commowealth Games reporter Lisa Summers has | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
more. The big names that made the | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
Olympics, but are they coming to Glasgow? Jessica Ennis-Hill is the | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
first star to say she will not be coming to the games, but there are | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
doubts about Mo Farah who has said the London Marathon is his priority. | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
And Usain Bolt is keeping very quiet about whether we will see him | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
competing this summer. Sir Chris Hoy declared his retirement early on. | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
Jessica Ennis-Hill is an ambassador for the Commonwealth Games and says | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
it is hard to know she will not compete. This will be a big blow for | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
organisers, although they were quick to say congratulations. Most of the | :02:26. | :02:37. | |
venues are up and running and the tickets are sold, but it is the | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
opportunities for global business and tourism. Every very small number | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
of viewers would have tuned in just to see those particular elite | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
athletes. People who are going to watch the Commonwealth Games will | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
watch it because it is on the television enemy. The absence of | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
megastars, or potential absence, I am not sure it will make a | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
significant difference. Lee McConnell has started back in | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
training just nine weeks after her baby was born. It is an important | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
event for athletes. Any major championship is. Every year, | :03:21. | :03:29. | |
athletes like a goal. The Commonwealth games this year is that | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
goal. The man in charge of the Scottish team says that a major | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
event must not rely on big names to make it a success. Athletes will | :03:41. | :03:50. | |
respond to the home crowd. It is one of the great things about sport, you | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
turn up, you think you know what is going to happen, but you never | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
know. It will be a great games. It may be a worry for the games | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
organisers, but it could be an opportunity for someone else to | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
shine. The gearbox of a helicopter which | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
crashed into the North Sea killing 16 men was almost fully replaced a | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
year before the accident. A fatal accident inquiry has been hearing | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
that the gearbox failed on April the first 2009 causing the Super Puma to | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
crash. Kevin Keane is at the Town House on Aberdeen where the inquiry | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
is taking place. This came from the maintenance | :04:30. | :04:38. | |
manager at Bond helicopters who was giving evidence this afternoon. He | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
was asked to take the enquiry through a series of complex | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
documents about the maintenance history of this particular flight. | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
It showed that between the ninth and 11th of April 2008, missed all of | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
the main gearbox on the helicopter was replaced. The final component | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
which was not replaced was swapped about six months later. All other of | :05:03. | :05:13. | |
the gearbox is expected to have a life of about 2000 hours. We know | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
that it was the main gearbox that was at fault when the crash | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
happened. He was asked whether he could tell whether it was replaced | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
by a new gearbox or one that had been overhauled, but he said he | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
could not help the information given. We also heard from another | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
engineer who was on duty around the time just before the crash happened | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
when a fault was discovered in that mean gearbox. A computer system had | :05:41. | :05:56. | |
flagged it up. -- that main gearbox. They checked over the helicopter | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
when it returned, it was clear to fly, but then crashed. | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
A compensation claim has been lodged against the operators of a police | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
helicopter which crashed in Glasgow last year. Ten people died when the | :06:10. | :06:19. | |
Eurocopter EC 135 fell onto the roof of the Clutha Bar in the city centre | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
on November the 29th. An inquiry into the cause of the crash is | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
continuing. Gavin Fulton was on his way home to | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
his family after a Christmas night out with friends. As he walked down | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
Dundas Street in Edinburgh, a car driven by a drunk driver mounted the | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
pavement and ran him down. He was pronounced dead a few hours later. | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
Today the man at the wheel of the car was jailed for five years. | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
Cameron Buttle reports from the High Court in Edinburgh. | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
Keith McCardle had had four drinks on the night he killed Gavin Fulton, | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
but they had put him 1.5 times over the legal drink drive limit. | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
Witnesses said he was out of control when he swerved across the road and | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
mounted the pavement. Today, McArdle was sentenced to five years in jail. | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
If you are aware of anybody about to drive after drinking alcohol, please | :07:15. | :07:22. | |
do everything in your power to stop them. Remember, if you do nothing, | :07:23. | :07:32. | |
you must share the responsibility. We believe the sentence properly | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
punishes the offender, but it also publishes his family and friends so | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
this sickening carousel of misery punishes a widening group of people. | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
One year on, tributes so mark the spot where Gavin Fulton was killed. | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
He was a popular man, a man with two young daughters, a man always | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
willing to help other people. He was a man walking along the pavement, | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
walking home to his family after a night out. His family seat they | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
accept the sentence handed down by the judge. His father said he had no | :08:12. | :08:21. | |
feelings about McArdle. We hope that you do's sentence. Someone somewhere | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
from drinking and driver. -- that today's sentence. And save another | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
innocent family from the trauma we have had to endure this year and for | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
years to come. I beg you, do not drink and drive. McArdle was also | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
banned from drinking and dry dash from driving for a further eight | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
years. You're watching Reporting Scotland | :08:47. | :08:55. | |
from the BBC. Still to come on the programme. The full weekend weather. | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
In sport, we're in Melbourne assessing Andy Murray's Australian | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
Open prospects with a previous winner. And we'll hear from both | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
managers ahead of tonight's match in the Scottish Premiership. See you | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
soon. A man accused of murdering his | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
mother told police she was hard work and a difficult person. Seamus | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
Dunleavy reported his mother missing on third July last year. Her remains | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
were found on Corstorphine Hill in Edinburgh on 6th of June. Catriona | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
Renton was in court. Philomena Dunleavy had been staying | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
with her son at his Edinburgh flat. She went into Portobello police | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
station asking about finding a cheap room for the night. She said her son | :09:39. | :09:47. | |
had had an episode and she walked away from her son when he did this. | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
She was fined in a confused state by the police later that day. James | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
Dunleavy is accused of murdering his mother and burying her body on | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
Corstorphine Hill last year. The court heard from a shopkeeper below | :10:03. | :10:13. | |
the flat. James Dunleavy came into his shop and commented on the image | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
on the front of a newspaper. He said, it's nothing like that person. | :10:20. | :10:32. | |
He reported his mother by -- missing. A police officer came to | :10:33. | :10:40. | |
his flat to take a statement. James Dunleavy said that his mother was | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
hard work and difficult to look after. He said he got up one morning | :10:45. | :10:52. | |
and she was gone and had not left a note. Police searched his flat. | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
Despite a careful scientific examination, over a period of days | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
using up-to-date scientific equipment, nothing was found other | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
than a couple of blood sports. James Dunleavy denies murdering his | :11:12. | :11:21. | |
mother. Police are investigating the | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
discovery of human remains near a village in Argyll. The remains were | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
discovered near Arrochar at the north end of Loch Long yesterday. | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
Inquiries are at an early stage and it is not known whether the badly | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
decomposed body is a man or woman. BBC Scotland understands that the | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
remains are not those of murdered Edinburgh woman Suzanne Pilley. | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
A scheme to protect our national dram from fake products has been | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
launched by the Government and the whisky industry. Anyone involved in | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
producing Scotch whisky will have to sign up to a new set of quality | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
standards enforced by Government inspectors. Craig Anderson reports. | :11:51. | :12:00. | |
Want to call your dram Scotch whiskey? Then prepare yourself for a | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
visit from the W police. Every stage in the production process musty meet | :12:05. | :12:16. | |
-- must meet strict guidelines. It is all about combating fraud, fakers | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
and counterfeit whiskey sold here and abroad. This scheme will make it | :12:20. | :12:30. | |
much easier to prove that Scotch whiskey is Scotch whiskey. There was | :12:31. | :12:42. | |
already a measure of legal protection in Europe for Scotch. The | :12:43. | :12:51. | |
new regulations are designed to reinforce that protection and | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
standards of production from the still to the glass. Even blenders | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
and bottlers abroad will have to sign up. It is a significant problem | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
in places because Scotch is an aspirational brand. People want to | :13:04. | :13:11. | |
make money out of it. If they can do that without using the genuine | :13:12. | :13:23. | |
article, but will happen. It is the impact it will have on your | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
reputation for the future. This scheme could extend towards Irish | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
whiskey produced in Northern Ireland and Somerset cider. It is designed | :13:32. | :13:45. | |
to cut down on the counterfeiters. The family of a British man arrested | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
in Pakistan for posing as a Muslim say they want the government to help | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
bring him back to the UK. 72-year-old Masood Ahmad is an | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
Ahmadi Muslim, a sect that considers itself a part of Islam but has been | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
declared non-Muslim by the Pakistani government. Mr Ahmad has now twice | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
been refused bail and his family, who live in Glasgow, want further | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
help from the British Government to get him released. Athar Ahmad | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
reports. This is the moment that got Masood | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
Ahmad thrown into jail. He's speaking to people he thinks are | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
patients in his homoeopathic clinic in Pakistan, but the whole thing is | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
a setup to trick him into reading a verse from the Koran. He is then | :14:21. | :14:28. | |
reported to police and arrested. He is a member of the minority Ahmadi | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
community. The sect have been persecuted in Pakistan. In 2010, | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
more than 90 people were killed in two mosque attacks in Lahore.They | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
believe they have been targeted since being declared non-Muslim by | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
the Pakistani government. Under Pakistan's blasphemy laws, Ahmadis | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
can face three years in jail for calling themselves Muslims or | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
reading the Koran. His children in Glasgow want the British government | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
to do more and bring their father back to the UK. His son and daughter | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
are distressed by what has happened to their father. I was shocked. How | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
could that happen to my father? He is a very kind person. I feel, one | :15:08. | :15:17. | |
side very hopeless and also angry. I want the British government to look | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
at the matter and do anything for us because my father is in a very bad | :15:21. | :15:28. | |
condition, his life is at risk. In a statement, the foreign office | :15:29. | :15:30. | |
told us... Despite this, his family want the | :15:31. | :15:45. | |
foreign office to put further pressure on the Pakistani | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
government. They hope their father will be reunited with them in the | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
UK. Other stories from Scott -- from | :15:52. | :16:04. | |
across Scotland this Friday. Aberdeen's Craiginches prison is | :16:05. | :16:06. | |
closing its doors for good today. Opened in the 19th century, it | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
witnessed the last man to be executed in Scotland in 1963. | :16:11. | :16:12. | |
Prisoners will be transferred to other jails, before the new HMP | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
Grampian in Peterhead opens this year. | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
Two members of staff at an Edinburgh leisure centre, where a teenager | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
died, have been suspended. 13-year-old Jamie Skinner was | :16:24. | :16:25. | |
playing for Tynecastle Football Club's under-14s, when he collapsed | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
at Saughton sports complex last month. An investigation is being | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
carried out into the centre's emergency response. | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
Low numbers of salmon, returning to Scotland's rivers to breed, is | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
prompting calls for none to be killed before the middle of May. | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
This year's fishing season opens soon - but the Association of Salmon | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
Fishery Boards wants anglers to let fish escape. | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
A Dundee scientist has been recognised for his studies on | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
declining bee numbers. It's feared pesticides and parasites are | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
threatening populations around the world. Dr Chris Connolly has been | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
honoured with an award named after the actor Stephen Fry. It's really a | :17:04. | :17:14. | |
prize not just for me but for the stakeholders who we worked with, the | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
Scottish beekeepers Association have been fantastic in helping us try to | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
get to the bottom of the bee decline. | :17:21. | :17:22. | |
A young couple from Tain in the Highlands have scooped more than | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
?500,000 on the lottery. The couple - who're due to get married this | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
year - matched five numbers and the bonus ball last Saturday. When they | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
first checked their ticket they thought they'd only won a few | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
hundred pounds. We checked the ticket. I was shaking, so she took | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
the phone and she said, which one 500 native ?6. I thought, brilliant, | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
it will pay for the wedding photographer, then I noticed the | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
photographer -- that I noticed that, and the world changed, brilliant. | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
And you can find more stories from across Scotland - as always - on our | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
website. The Hollywood by-election contest in | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
Cowdenbeath is under way. The four largest parties have all launched | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
their campaigns. Labour is defending a majority of more than 1200 votes. | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
Here is our political correspondent Glen Campbell. | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
The Cowdenbeath constituency who is to be one of Scotland's industrial | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
heartlands. But mining it in the past. Today, unemployment is | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
endemic, new jobs elusive so what does the next MSP need to deliver? | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
Shops, people, customers. There's nothing happening here, everything | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
is shutting down. Why? I don't know, there's nothing in Cowdenbeath any | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
more. It's dismal now, shops shutting down, jobs, the whole place | :18:47. | :18:56. | |
needs a lift. Not for nothing that bus is a deep shade of red. Once, | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
Cowdenbeath elected communist promised. These days, Labour runs | :19:01. | :19:10. | |
here and they want everyone to help. It should be directed towards how we | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
support families who need to get work. The SNP, in power at Holyrood, | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
say they are making a difference locally. Getting folk back to work | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
and helping family budgets through the council tax freeze, the school | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
meals initiative. That success could be much greater if we have the full | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
powers of an independent Scotland. Conservatives say they would push | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
for new investment. We are fighting it primarily on local issues, issues | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
like bringing in the town centre regeneration fund. Why bother | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
Liberal Democrats say they have the public's priorities at heart. I know | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
what they are interested in is cutting tax, increasing pensions, | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
getting good quality services. This by-election was caused by the sudden | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
death of MSP Helen Eadie. Voters here and will decide who should take | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
place in Parliament in just under a fortnight's time. | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
You can find details of all the candidates standing in the | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
by-election on our website. Let's go to sunny climes for news of Andy | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
Murray. Andy Murray is just back from three | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
months off after injury but the coach of one of his main rivals | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
thinks he can win the Australian Open. His first opponent is | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
little-known Japanese player Go Soeda, but tougher matches lie | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
ahead. # Advance Australia fair #. | :20:41. | :21:13. | |
Yes, Australia and Melbourne in particular have been happy hunting | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
grounds for Andy Murray. He has already had a taste of the main show | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
court here, practising in the heat of the Rod Leiva arena, where he is | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
contested three out of the last four finals. The problem is he keeps | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
running into this guy. Novak Djokovic just won't let the trophy | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
go. The defending champion has won it for the last three years, beating | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
Andy Murray each time along the way. And he clearly enjoys the company of | :21:39. | :21:47. | |
ladies' champion Victoria Azarenka. Djokovic's new coach watched the | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
draw and expect Andy Murray to do well despite just returning from | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
back surgery. He knows exactly how to play well in this tournament. He | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
loves Australia. I am sure he will be well prepared. Do you think he | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
can win it having been out so long? Whoever has won an open or the | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
Australian -- or Wimbledon can win the Australian Open, yes. The | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
Wimbledon champion warmed up for his opening match by playing exhibition | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
match against Lleyton Hewitt. He lost 7-6, 7-6, but the time on court | :22:25. | :22:32. | |
will help him greatly. Friday night football hits Aberdeen tonight and | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
so do Hibernian. The Terry Butcher Hibs have lost just once in nine | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
matches and have climbed into the premiership's top six. The Dons are | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
going well, winning seven of their last eight and sitting second in the | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
league. Both managers are predicting it could be a night to remember. The | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
biggest compliment I can pay Terry Butcher and his team is there is no | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
surprise they have improved. He finds ways to win games, Terry, and | :22:57. | :23:04. | |
his players, they are well school. It is a great test to go up there | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
and play. It was a good game against Inverness Caley Thistle and I expect | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
more of the same. It is two clubs with good support. Hopefully both | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
sets of supporters come out in good numbers and make the game that bit | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
more special. There is live coverage of the match between Aberdeen and | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
Hibernian on BBC Radio Scotland and elsewhere. The share with on-air now | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
but don't go tuning in just yet because here is some more of the | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
day's stories in Scottish sport. Celtic at interested in signing and | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
Norway international. They've yet to make a formal offer to his club. The | :23:45. | :23:52. | |
midfielder... Hearts are close to selling Adam King to Swansea for | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
about ?150,000. The 18-year-old has played three times for Hearts-macro | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
this season. Kilmarnock have released their two Nigerian | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
midfielder is, getting their marching orders, strictly speaking | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
leaving by mutual consent. Edinburgh Rugby are at home to Perpignan | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
tomorrow in the European cup. Defeat means elimination from the | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
competition. It is win at all costs tomorrow. We know that. I understand | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
we are more than capable of doing that. We need to stick to our | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
systems and be rigid and make sure we don't go away from that. Glasgow | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
Warriors have no hope of reaching the next round of the European cup. | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
They need to beat Exeter tomorrow to have the consolation of qualifying | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
for an amine cup place. We will see, we need to be in the next -- we need | :24:43. | :24:50. | |
to be in the mix to get a win. Colin Montgomery is seven shots behind the | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
leaders in South Africa. He is two over par today, level for the | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
tournament. And there are more sports stories and the latest news | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
24 hours a day on BBC Sport Scotland's website. | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
Now some sad news. We've learned that former Rangers and Dundee | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
United midfield player Ian Redford has died at the age of 53. He began | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
his career with Dundee United before joining Rangers in 1980 four then | :25:18. | :25:25. | |
Scottish record fee for ?210,000. That's it from me. | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
Let's get the weekend weather forecast now from Chris. | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
The night is rather cold and frosty at this weekend is chilly but | :25:35. | :25:43. | |
tonight we are concerned about ice. There is a warning for central and | :25:44. | :25:45. | |
western parts of the country. Elsewhere, generally dry, clear, | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
cold and frosty. There will be a rash of showers across the west and | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
north-west, wintry on the hills and to lower levels rain. It will be a | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
cold night, temperatures in towns and cities not far off the freezing | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
mark and some rural parts of Aberdeen and Perthshire may be down | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
to -4-macro. Tomorrow morning it is a cold, bright, sunny start for | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
money. I see in the West with showers continuing to be brought in | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
on the westerly breeze. For many, Saturday is not too bad, generally | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
dry and bright. Plenty of sunshine around but it will be rather cool. | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
Temperatures by mid-afternoon maybe just five or six Celsius at best. | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
12-macro showers in towards the western but generally rain across | :26:28. | :26:35. | |
the high ground. Through Orkney and Shetland, frequent showers here but | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
certainly through parts of marry, Aberdeenshire, in towards | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
Perthshire, down towards the capital and the Lothians and the Borders, | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
bright and sunny for you. Chilly, yes, but plenty of usable weather | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
before -- for being outside. Fewer hill walking or climbing we have | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
wintry showers across the Northwest. There's a -- further south, dry and | :26:58. | :27:05. | |
bright. Plenty of crisp, winter sunshine but it will be chilly and | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
windy across the Cairngorms at first but easing down as we had through | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
the afternoon. If you are thinking about heading to the slopes | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
tomorrow, plenty of snow up there. It will be bright and cold and any | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
stronger winds in the morning tend to ease down by the afternoon. Best | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
to check what runs are opening before setting off. The rest of the | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
afternoon and into the evening, holding on to that theme. A number | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
of showers at times, cold and frosty, more widespread mist and | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
fog. Full Sunday, high-pressure holding onto low-pressure waiting in | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
the wings with some rain and wind but someday get softer and OK | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
start. Some sunshine and by mid to late afternoon clouding over with | :27:45. | :27:47. | |
rain in the West and that rain makes its way eastwards as we overnight. | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
By Monday it should have cleared and it is an east-west split. The best | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
of the sunshine in the East was cloudy conditions in the West and | :27:57. | :28:00. | |
showers and not as cold as this coming weekend. That is Reporting | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
Scotland. I will be back with the headline that APM and the late | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
bulletin at 10:25pm. Until then, enjoy your evening and goodbye. | :28:11. | :28:12. |
