Good evening. There's been further disappointment for Livingston's

:00:07.:00:10.

Elise Christie at the Winter Olympics in Sochi. Two days after

:00:11.:00:15.

she was disqualified from a final for causing a collision, the short

:00:16.:00:18.

track speed skater was penalised for a second time, and denied a place in

:00:19.:00:23.

the 1500m final. Officials ruled she was a centimetre wide of the

:00:24.:00:26.

official finish line. The 23-year-old will now pin her medal

:00:27.:00:30.

hopes on the 1,000 metres next Friday. From Russia, David McDaid.

:00:31.:00:42.

That is a great confidence booster. After the pain of her 500 metres

:00:43.:00:50.

final, a winning return to the ice for Elise Christie in her heat. At

:00:51.:00:54.

least that is what everyone thought until the referee changed the

:00:55.:00:59.

initial results amid much confusing. Elise Christie has been penalised

:01:00.:01:03.

again and they have relegated her to last place. What happened? I was

:01:04.:01:09.

just waiting to watch my team-mate race and then I seen on the board it

:01:10.:01:13.

said penalty. I had no idea because I haven't spoke to the referee or my

:01:14.:01:18.

coach. I didn't have physical contact with anyone so I have no

:01:19.:01:21.

idea what I could have been penalised for. The photo finish to

:01:22.:01:25.

determine first place revealed something else. Her skate was

:01:26.:01:29.

actually inside the track when she crossed the line. We are talking

:01:30.:01:36.

millimetres. It is in the rule book. It is very rarely used because it

:01:37.:01:41.

not very often happens. She won the race, we are devastated. Some

:01:42.:01:47.

experts felt Elise Christie could win as many as three medals in these

:01:48.:01:50.

games, but she has been disqualified from two races. And if that wasn't

:01:51.:01:55.

bad enough, she had another more disturbing revelation. I have had a

:01:56.:02:02.

few people threatening me and stuff like that. Just cyber bullying

:02:03.:02:06.

basically, but it has been a tough few days anyway.

:02:07.:02:11.

A charity event is being held in Glasgow to raise money for families

:02:12.:02:14.

affected by the Clutha helicopter crash. It's the first time an

:02:15.:02:18.

all-day concert has been held at the city's famous Barrowlands. Suzanne

:02:19.:02:25.

Allan reports. Sound checking for their most

:02:26.:02:29.

important gig this year. These artists were first up this afternoon

:02:30.:02:34.

on a bill that features Alabama 3 and ends tonight with Big Country. I

:02:35.:02:40.

am proud to be here and the Clutha bar was an amazing part of the

:02:41.:02:43.

Glasgow music scene. In order to celebrate it, and even bigger part

:02:44.:02:49.

of the music scene, it is amazing. We are both ecstatic. It speaks to

:02:50.:02:56.

much -- so much to the Glasgow music scene that so many people are coming

:02:57.:03:02.

for this. This concert is a fundraiser for the people who died

:03:03.:03:07.

in the crash last year. A report from air accident investigators

:03:08.:03:09.

published yesterday said the helicopter suffered a double engine

:03:10.:03:12.

failure. Concert organisers want today to be about looking forward.

:03:13.:03:21.

All the families that we can get a hold of have been invited and a few

:03:22.:03:25.

of them are coming. John McGarrigle, who sadly past away, his poetry will

:03:26.:03:29.

be read out with the blessing of his family. They will be here, and Scott

:03:30.:03:33.

Penden came on board. Organisers of the concert CD very much wanted to

:03:34.:03:35.

be seen as a celebration. Poetry will be read out by one of the

:03:36.:03:38.

victims, written before he died, and there are hundreds of free tickets

:03:39.:03:46.

available to those in the emergency services who helped out on the night

:03:47.:03:51.

of the crash. Now football, and Aberdeen stay

:03:52.:03:54.

second in the SPL table after beating St Mirren this afternoon.

:03:55.:03:57.

There were also wins for Dundee United, Hibs and Motherwell, while

:03:58.:04:00.

Inverness Caley Thistle held Hearts to a 0-0 draw. Celtic play St

:04:01.:04:02.

Johnston tomorrow. Now Gillian's here. How's the

:04:03.:04:03.

forecast looking? Johnston

:04:04.:04:09.

A nice day to come tomorrow. There was sunshine for summer but today,

:04:10.:04:13.

but we have kept a fairly steady stream of showers coming into the

:04:14.:04:16.

north and west. You can see them on the radar picture. Tonight, where

:04:17.:04:21.

the ground is wet, we will see some issues with frost and ice on

:04:22.:04:25.

untreated services and we have got yellow be aware warnings in force

:04:26.:04:27.

from the Met Office, eventually difficult conditions on the road and

:04:28.:04:33.

underfoot. Overnight, the showers become complained to the far north,

:04:34.:04:37.

as do the strong winds and elsewhere, winds eased down. It will

:04:38.:04:41.

be dry with clear spells, allowing temperatures to go down to freezing.

:04:42.:04:46.

Into tomorrow and a ridge of high pressure builds, so it will be a

:04:47.:04:50.

cold start, ice risk first thing but a lot of dry, bright weather, plenty

:04:51.:04:54.

of blues skies and sunshine and much lighter winds.

:04:55.:04:55.

lighter And that's all from us. Reporting

:04:56.:04:58.

Scotland is back tomorrow during Sunday Politics Scotland. Until

:04:59.:05:01.

then, from everyone here on the weekend team, enjoy your Saturday

:05:02.:05:02.

evening. Hello, good evening, finally some

:05:03.:05:16.

quieter weather on the way for the British Isles for the
