Good evening. A 16-year-old boy is in a serious condition in hospital

:00:12.:00:16.

after taking ill at a house party in north Lanarkshire last night. A

:00:17.:00:19.

17-year-old has been released after treatment. Police believe the pair

:00:20.:00:22.

may have taken ecstasy and "Mortal Kombat" tablets - the drug linked to

:00:23.:00:26.

the recent death of a schoolgirl from Clydebank.

:00:27.:00:31.

The teenagers had been at a party. They were taken to hospital after

:00:32.:00:35.

they became unwell. This afternoon police appealed to anyone who might

:00:36.:00:38.

have information about the type of drugs being sold last night. People

:00:39.:00:45.

can come to us in confidence. We will keep every bit of

:00:46.:00:50.

information in the strictest of confidence and we will protect

:00:51.:00:55.

people 's identities if need be. The message is we have to make sure

:00:56.:00:59.

people are safe and we have to take the drug off the street. We have to

:01:00.:01:03.

identify everybody at a party to make sure they are safe and well.

:01:04.:01:08.

Last month, 17-year-old rake in died after taking one of the -- Reagan

:01:09.:01:15.

McCall died after taking one of the red Mortal Kombat tablets.

:01:16.:01:21.

They are advising anyone who has taken one in the last 24 hours to

:01:22.:01:25.

take medical help. A 19-year-old has died after falling from a bus near

:01:26.:01:28.

the centre of Glasgow late last night.

:01:29.:01:31.

Police say the man fell from the emergency exit and suffered serious

:01:32.:01:32.

head injuries. The First Minister has demanded an

:01:33.:01:36.

apology from David Cameron, after it emerged that Scottish ministers were

:01:37.:01:39.

not told about a radiation leak in a nuclear reactor at Dounreay two

:01:40.:01:42.

years ago. An MoD source told the BBC that Mr Salmond was

:01:43.:01:45.

"scaremongering and making mischief". Cameron Buttle reports.

:01:46.:01:48.

The row centres on the submarine test reactor at Dounreay where there

:01:49.:01:54.

was a leak two years ago. The leak didn't breach safety limits but the

:01:55.:01:57.

first minister has written to the prime Minister, demanding an

:01:58.:02:01.

explanation as to why his government wasn't told about it until last

:02:02.:02:05.

week. He wants an apology for what he calls a Westminster cover-up.

:02:06.:02:10.

Westminster has absolutely no right to cut across Scottish democracy and

:02:11.:02:15.

cast a veil of secrecy over eight legitimate process of democratic

:02:16.:02:17.

information in Scotland. David Cameron had better come up

:02:18.:02:22.

with an explanation and an assurance it won't happen again.

:02:23.:02:26.

Labour has stepped into the row, calling for an enquiry and saying

:02:27.:02:30.

public confidence has been damaged. The best way to reassure people and

:02:31.:02:35.

say there is no need for alarm is to make sure you are open and

:02:36.:02:38.

transparent. It is when you hear about

:02:39.:02:40.

information that has been passed on and kept in government agencies, I

:02:41.:02:46.

think that is why people ask about it. The Ministry of defence says

:02:47.:02:56.

that authorities were made aware of the leak at.

:02:57.:03:00.

The first Minister has been accused of making mischief. A spokesperson

:03:01.:03:05.

for the first Minister says the issue is of concern for the people

:03:06.:03:11.

of Scotland. Thousands of current and former

:03:12.:03:14.

female staff at a Scottish council are celebrating after winning a

:03:15.:03:18.

long-running equal pay case. They successfully argued they'd been paid

:03:19.:03:21.

less than men doing similar jobs. Here's our local government

:03:22.:03:29.

correspondent, Jamie McIvor. The struggles for quality for women

:03:30.:03:32.

may seem like they are from another era but reported equality cases and

:03:33.:03:37.

still come to the fore. These women are just some of the latest group to

:03:38.:03:42.

win a victory will stop 3000 current and former staff at South

:03:43.:03:46.

Lanarkshire Council. The jobs that women were doing were not being

:03:47.:03:49.

valued to the same extent of the jobs mended.

:03:50.:03:54.

Women were on the same grade but went receiving the same pay. It has

:03:55.:04:00.

been a conjugated dispute and at its root the overall pay package for

:04:01.:04:03.

certain jobs once things like bonuses were included.

:04:04.:04:10.

I just hope that we did work hard and I think we are entitled to the

:04:11.:04:17.

same wage as the men. We definitely think that the future generation

:04:18.:04:23.

doing the work will be on equal pay. I say don't be scared and stand up

:04:24.:04:26.

for yourself because the times have to change. The exact details and

:04:27.:04:32.

cost of the settlement are being kept confidential.

:04:33.:04:35.

The council says it was always committed to the principle of

:04:36.:04:39.

equality of pay. Similar claims at other councils remain outstanding.

:04:40.:04:43.

There were two quarter final matches in the Scottish Cup. Albion Rovers

:04:44.:04:46.

took the lead at Ibrox against Rangers. Bilel Mohsni equalised for

:04:47.:04:50.

the home side - but not until the 77th minute. Dundee are safely

:04:51.:04:55.

through to the next round after winning 5-0 against Inverness who

:04:56.:04:59.

finished the match with nine men. Now, time to get the weather

:05:00.:05:02.

prospects for this evening and the start of the week.

:05:03.:05:08.

Good evening. A wet evening for many of us tonight with outbreaks of rain

:05:09.:05:14.

across much of the country. Fairly persistent. Drier conditions will

:05:15.:05:20.

extend southwards. A couple of mist and fog patches with a touch of

:05:21.:05:25.

Frost and temperatures down to about two Celsius. The wind is on the

:05:26.:05:31.

light side. The high pressure we have all been heralding eventually

:05:32.:05:36.

arrives tomorrow, taking in across the country and staying in place for

:05:37.:05:40.

the first part of the week with a lot of dry and sunny weather. Any

:05:41.:05:44.

mist and fog is quick to clear and the ICS will be over soon. A bright

:05:45.:05:50.

day with good spells of sunshine as well. Feeling present in the

:05:51.:05:55.

sunshine with highs of 10 Celsius. Our next update's just after the ten

:05:56.:05:58.

o'clock news, at 10:15pm. Until then, from everyone on the
