:00:00. > :00:07.There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News
:00:08. > :00:16.Good evening. The leader of the Scottish Conservatives has pledged
:00:17. > :00:20.to scrap free prescriptions in order to pay for1000 extra nurses. In a
:00:21. > :00:23.speech to her party's conference in Edinburgh, Ruth Davidson also urged
:00:24. > :00:32.supporters to fight for the Union. Our political editor Brian Taylor
:00:33. > :00:37.reports. Ruth Davidson opened with an offer for 1000 more nurses and
:00:38. > :00:45.midwives funded by bringing back prescription charges for those who
:00:46. > :00:54.can pay. I say we should have enough nurses to do the job. She has
:00:55. > :00:57.charged a party commission to draft a more powers for the Scottish
:00:58. > :01:05.parliament which will include greater control of income tax.
:01:06. > :01:14.Independence is defeated and a stronger United Kingdom. Some in the
:01:15. > :01:22.party want to go much further. I would like to see full fiscal
:01:23. > :01:29.autonomy. You have to have some balance you will get such a hollowed
:01:30. > :01:37.out United Kingdom that Scottish or English or Welsh membership is
:01:38. > :01:49.artificial. But the party seems to be set to endorse sharing tax powers
:01:50. > :01:53.with Westminster. Aberdeen have beaten Inverness to win the Scottish
:01:54. > :01:56.League Cup - their first big trophy in nearly two decades. The final
:01:57. > :02:00.finished nil-nil after extra time, but The Dons won it four - two on
:02:01. > :02:06.penalties. The drama was played out at Celtic Park. More than 50,000
:02:07. > :02:16.fans travelled south to Glasgow. For Inverness Caley Thistle it was the
:02:17. > :02:25.debut in Glasgow. The former Inverness winger had to go off after
:02:26. > :02:30.four minutes. Inverness started stronger in the second half and the
:02:31. > :02:39.Aberdeen goalkeeper was forced into a fumble and both sides might have
:02:40. > :02:46.won the match at the end of normal time with what looked like a file in
:02:47. > :02:51.the penalty box but the match stayed with no score after extra time and
:02:52. > :02:58.went to penalties. The first 24 Inverness went badly and by the time
:02:59. > :03:11.that Adam Rooney stood up, he knew that he had to score to win the cup
:03:12. > :03:17.and he dead. Aberdeen celebrated and Inverness will have to wait for
:03:18. > :03:20.another occasion. A man has been arrested following
:03:21. > :03:22.the death of a man in the Easterhouse area of Glasgow.
:03:23. > :03:25.29-year-old Ryan McNeill was discovered at a house in
:03:26. > :03:31.Conisborough Road yesterday morning. A 27-year-old man is being held in
:03:32. > :03:34.connection with the incident. The Scotch Whisky Association is calling
:03:35. > :03:37.on the Chancellor to scrap planned increases in alcohol duty in his
:03:38. > :03:41.budget next week. At the moment, duty and VAT make up 79% of the
:03:42. > :03:46.price of an average bottle of Scotch Whisky. If the alcohol duty
:03:47. > :03:50.escalator were implemented again, this would go up to 81%. The SWA,
:03:51. > :03:53.together with the Wine Spirit Trade Association and the Taxpayers'
:03:54. > :03:56.Alliance, say this should be frozen. Former names from the world of
:03:57. > :03:59.football, as well as some lesser-known enthusiasts, have been
:04:00. > :04:03.raising funds for those affected by the Clutha helicopter tragedy. Even
:04:04. > :04:08.some BBC sports reporters got in on the act. Paramedics, police and a
:04:09. > :04:14.team of Glasgow councillors made up one side. They took on the Lord
:04:15. > :04:17.Provost's select team - made up of famous names and faces from the
:04:18. > :04:20.world of Scottish football - who went on to win the tournament. We
:04:21. > :04:23.are strong favourites today because we have quite a few players who
:04:24. > :04:25.might not be in the shape of what they used to be on the strips are
:04:26. > :04:31.tight fitting that this should be but we still know I wait to go so it
:04:32. > :04:39.is a fantastic location for helping a little bit. Let's get the weather
:04:40. > :04:41.prospects for this evening and the start of the week, and Judith
:04:42. > :04:54.Ralston is at the map. It has been a windy day but those
:04:55. > :04:58.wins will ease down. The rain will become more persistent across the
:04:59. > :05:06.North West and into Orkney but it will be dry elsewhere. It will be
:05:07. > :05:10.cold in Shetland but elsewhere it will be around seven degrees eight
:05:11. > :05:14.degrees underwent will settle into the fresh category by the end of the
:05:15. > :05:21.night. Tomorrow starts off cloudy but that rain will increase through
:05:22. > :05:25.the course of the morning through to Sutherland and into Orkney but not
:05:26. > :05:31.reaching Shetland to later in the afternoon. There will be a lot of
:05:32. > :05:33.dry weather for its southern and eastern Scotland with good spells of
:05:34. > :05:38.sunshine across that part of the country. Temperatures in the East
:05:39. > :05:45.will be very much on the mild side with highs around 15 Celsius for
:05:46. > :05:50.Aberdeenshire and ten or 11 degrees for the rest of the country.
:05:51. > :05:56.And that's Reporting Scotland. Our next update's just after the ten
:05:57. > :05:59.o'clock news. Until then, from everyone on the team here in
:06:00. > :06:08.Glasgow, enjoy the rest of your Sunday evening.
:06:09. > :06:15.Good evening. Apologies for sounding Southeast centric, but it is
:06:16. > :06:20.difficult when London had a high of 20 this afternoon, 68 Fahrenheit.
:06:21. > :06:21.Lovely sunshine across England, Wales and eastern
