on BBC One will be at the earlier-than-usual time of 4.25pm

this Good afternoon. Nearly 400 women

:00:00.:00:08.

from across Scotland are marking International Women's Day with a

:00:09.:00:11.

convention at the Scottish Parliament. Other events are being

:00:12.:00:16.

held across the country. One of the key speakers at Holryood says women

:00:17.:00:19.

still face significant obstacles in education, employment and public

:00:20.:00:30.

life. When we see the impact of all of the austerity cuts, it is women

:00:31.:00:36.

that are bearing the brunt of them. When these cuts come, there is

:00:37.:00:42.

actually a gender aspect to them. If you look at the figures and look at

:00:43.:00:46.

the reality of them, women are facing a financial detriment whereas

:00:47.:00:52.

men are actually better off. Police say a body found by a walker

:00:53.:00:57.

on a beach in Dumfries and Galloway has been identified as that of a

:00:58.:01:00.

missing man from Annan. 30-year-old Ian Carruthers was last seen in the

:01:01.:01:03.

town in January. Police had released a CCTV image of Mr Carruthers, but

:01:04.:01:07.

his body was discovered on the shore at the village of Portling on

:01:08.:01:09.

Friday. A 15-year-old boy has been seriously

:01:10.:01:13.

injured in a crash in Angus. He was in a car which left the road and hit

:01:14.:01:17.

a tree between Forfar and Carnoustie last night. Police have appealed to

:01:18.:01:20.

any witnesses to the accident to contact them.

:01:21.:01:22.

Now sport: Scotland go to Murrayfield later this afternoon

:01:23.:01:25.

hoping they can build on their victory in Rome with a win over

:01:26.:01:27.

France. Duncan Weir's last gasp drop goal

:01:28.:01:30.

sealed a win for the Scots and restored morale in the squad after

:01:31.:01:34.

its disappointing opening matches in the RBS Six Nations. It's the final

:01:35.:01:37.

game in charge for interim coach Scott Johnson, who says his side has

:01:38.:01:41.

more than enough muscle to deal with a French line-up that's been

:01:42.:01:49.

described as monstrous. I feel privileged to be invited to do what

:01:50.:01:54.

I have been doing. I feel privileged to sit in the stadium, where I set.

:01:55.:01:59.

If you are not excited, you should be dead. It is not what I am about.

:02:00.:02:06.

I am really excited. You can never say they will be a soft touch. They

:02:07.:02:11.

have got fantastic players, aggressive players. The size of

:02:12.:02:16.

their pack is monstrous. I am not worried too much but their backs,

:02:17.:02:19.

but they have got guys that can score from anywhere.

:02:20.:02:23.

And there's live coverage of the match on BBC Scotland TV, radio and

:02:24.:02:27.

online. Kick-off is at 5:00pm. It's a big weekend in football, too.

:02:28.:02:30.

There are two matches this afternoon in the Premiership, with Hibs and

:02:31.:02:34.

Kilmarnock at home. And it's the quarterfinals of the Scottish Cup.

:02:35.:02:37.

There are two ties today, and two tomorrow.

:02:38.:02:41.

Now let's get the latest on the weather. Gillian, how's it looking

:02:42.:02:47.

for the rest of the day? Not bad today. It will be mild. There is a

:02:48.:02:52.

lot of cloud around and very strong winds. We will have patchy rain

:02:53.:02:57.

mainly for the high ground. Some more persistent stuff for the

:02:58.:03:01.

Western -- western isles and the Shetlands. Strong to go force winds

:03:02.:03:09.

across the country, even touching severe gales around exposed coasts.

:03:10.:03:16.

Temperatures ten, 11 or 12 Celsius. Picking at 13 Celsius when we get

:03:17.:03:24.

some sunshine. Into this evening, we hold onto a lot of cloud and bits

:03:25.:03:29.

and pieces of drizzle with more persistent rain in the West by

:03:30.:03:33.

morning. Winds will be strong for most of the night but will ease back

:03:34.:03:40.

towards the morning. Holding up at six Celsius. Tomorrow, the strong to

:03:41.:03:45.

go force winds confined to Shetland, across the north, we will see things

:03:46.:03:48.

brightening up throughout the morning but I'll, a lot of cloud,

:03:49.:03:53.

patchy drizzle. And that's all from Reporting

:03:54.:03:55.

Scotland for now. Our next update's earlier than usual, we're back at

:03:56.:03:59.

4:30pm. Until then, from everyone on the team here, enjoy your Saturday

:04:00.:04:00.

afternoon. Good afternoon. Our weekend forecast

:04:01.:04:13.

did include some sunshine and warmth but was never going
