effort to put people off smoking. That is all from the BBC News | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Tonight, on Reporting Scotland. How Glasgow plans to make the | :00:00. | :00:18. | |
Commonwealth Games gold with a bang. This is the view that millions of | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
people will get only 24th of July as five of Glasgow 's tallest buildings | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
are brought to the ground live during the opening ceremony of the | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
Commonwealth Games. Also on the programme. A BBC | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
Scotland investigation finds an increase in the number of police | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
officers breaking data protection laws. Johnny on the north coast | :00:42. | :00:50. | |
where the fight for freedom fuel prices could be taking an U-turn. | :00:51. | :00:58. | |
What a race by Lee McConnell. After winning more track medals in any of | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
Scottish athlete, the McConnell tells us she is retiring from | :01:04. | :01:04. | |
athletics to be a mother. Five high-rise flats in Glasgow will | :01:05. | :01:25. | |
be blown up as part of the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
this summer. The organisers say it would be one of the most memorable | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
moments of the competition and will save money. The announcement is | :01:33. | :01:44. | |
dividing opinion. It is a spectacular sight. Blowing | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
up buildings attracts a crowd. The first of the Redwood flats was | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
raised to the ground in 2012. -- Red Road flats. Some say it is a crazy | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
plan. The largest demolition in Europe will be part of the opening | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
ceremony of the Commonwealth Games. It is an amazing experience and is | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
not just a stunt. The is a sense of a period of history ending. It is | :02:15. | :02:24. | |
quite emotional. Built in the 1960s, they appear to have all the mod | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
cons. The host 5000 people but they are no longer viable as a home. | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
Walking around these empty rooms it is hard to believe this was | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
somebody's living room, kitchen, Holloway. These flats are seen as | :02:39. | :02:50. | |
the future of housing. -- hallway. It was Glasgow. It has served its | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
purpose and we are moving on. We are getting our 15 minutes of fame. We | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
are being a celebrity. We like it very much. Demolition aside, there | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
were few details about the rest of the two hour set of the two hour | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
ceremony. It is about the people of we will see the humour in Scotland. | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
We will not take ourselves too seriously. There could be some | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
hidden jobs that only Scottish people will get. Organisers state | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
that of events use fireworks but they will create their own buying | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
and spectate -- spectacular signing. What does it say about Scotland, | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
that we knocked on buildings for fun? It will be iconic. Fireworks | :03:35. | :03:43. | |
and the bagpipes. It is not just people in the street that think the | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
idea is off the wall. They are knocking down five and leaving one | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
that has got asylum seekers in it. What sort of message are we sending | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
out? It seems the strangest thing. He flats took five years to build | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
and in just 15 seconds, with the eyes of the world on Glasgow, they | :04:04. | :04:15. | |
will be gone. It sounds like the plans of got | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
people talking? It has been the top of the town. It has divided | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
opinion. The idea of demolishing these flats, showing Glasgow to the | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
world in this fashion has been a divider today on the streets of | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
Glasgow. The organisers will see that it is saving the city money. | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
People will point out that of ceremonies have used fireworks and | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
they are using demolition. It will create a spectacle. It will be | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
compared to the Olympic Games. The budgets for the opening and closing | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
ceremonies was ?80 million in London while Glasgow has got a budget of | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
?20 million. An increasing number of Scottish | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
police officers are being investigated for breaching data | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
protection laws while on duty. A BBC Scotland investigation has revealed | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
that six convictions took place last year while Police Scotland is | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
looking into more than 50 further cases. Here's our Home Affairs | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
Correspondent Reevel Alderson. Police have access to large amounts | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
of sensitive data. There are strict protocols so they do not abuse it. | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
Any officer found accessing information they are not entitled to | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
our prosecuted. It was six prosecutions in 2008. In the last | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
two years, there were 11. The figure appears to be rising. Police | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
Scotland see currently 55 officers are being investigated for data | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
irregularities. Four of them are suspended from duty. This former | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
senior police officer is concerned that the breaches of data protection | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
could have serious consequences. I want to know why these | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
contraventions occurred. Where was the information going through. If it | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
was passed to criminals then it would be a major concern. If it is | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
somebody who has got an issue with discipline, then hopefully these | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
reports will remove that impetus on their behalf and they will be | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
properly dealt with by Police Scotland. This is one of the films | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
recently commissioned by the Scottish Police Federation to try to | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
improve the image of ordinary police officers. The complexities of | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
information technology systems could mean officers fall foul of data | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
protection laws. Is it something we can be doing slightly differently | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
within the organisation. Any police officer complaint means we will look | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
out any issues with data to make sure that everything is OK. It is a | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
worrying trend. Police Scotland said that any breach of data protection | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
is treated seriously and it regularly carries out audits to make | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
sure that policies are being adhered to. | :07:11. | :07:18. | |
Safety inspections have been carried out in Edinburgh's schools on walls | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
similar to the one that collapsed at Liberton High on Tuesday, killing | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
12-year-old pupil Keane Wallis-Bennett. Several | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
free-standing walls in other schools have been cordoned off as a safety | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
measure until the end of term though Edinburgh council say none of the | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
inspections raised concern. One of Scotland's largest companies | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
says the costs of independence to its business could outweigh the | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
benefits. The engineering firm Weir Group made the claim after | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
commissioning specialist research into the economic impact of a yes | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
vote. However independence campaigners say Weir voiced very | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
similar concerns about devolution and those fears never came to pass. | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
Here's our Economics correspondent Colletta Smith. | :07:55. | :08:05. | |
For more than 140 euros, Weir Group has been manufacturing parts for | :08:06. | :08:06. | |
heavy industry. -- 140 years. They have asked | :08:07. | :08:21. | |
analysts to look at the prospects of independence and they have published | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
the findings. Funding costs would be higher. Pensions would be more | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
complex. They said that any currency optic each -- opsin secured it would | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
be expensive for households and businesses in Scotland. Rather than | :08:38. | :08:45. | |
keep this report until we have decided to make it public. We are | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
seeking to and the debate is one of Scotland's largest companies. It is | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
important that we seek to get some facts on the table and eliminate | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
some of the emotion pained the debate. We are proud to be Scottish | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
potheads have to rule heart when it comes the independence referendum. | :09:03. | :09:11. | |
-- we are proud to be Scottish potheads have to rule heart. -- but | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
heads. That clearly is something that is in | :09:18. | :09:31. | |
the White Paper and the business looks forward to it. Well both sides | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
agree that Scotland's economy can be strong, it is the details of the | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
costs for businesses that are putting some off. Weir Group are the | :09:40. | :09:47. | |
latest in a line of companies to have stated their position on | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
independence. They are not the first and will not be the last. We have | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
heard from BP and from standard life raising their opposition to the idea | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
of Scotland becoming independent. BSkyB and wheat was put out | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
statements stating that they would expand your business with an | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
independent Scotland and it would not put more. What is interesting | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
from today's report is that they have the information behind that | :10:15. | :10:23. | |
position. You're watching Reporting Scotland | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
from the BBC. Still to come on tonight's programme. Doubling the | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
reward to try and track down those responsible for poisoning at least | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
16 birds of prey in the Highlands. In sport, meet the boy that is made | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
our top woman athlete change your mind about taking part in the | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
Commonwealth Games. Find out why Scotland's women hockey players have | :10:43. | :10:50. | |
got plenty to smile about. Labour have accused the Scottish | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
Government of misleading appearance over their plans to expand childcare | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
in the event of independence. Ministers say they are providing | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
more free places can help Scotland achieve the same level of women in | :11:03. | :11:13. | |
work and Sweden. With a big expansion of childcare | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
provision, the first minister has said it would be entirely achievable | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
for an independent Scotland to increase female participation in the | :11:22. | :11:29. | |
workforce by more than 100,000. This is to match the Swedish example. In | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
those circumstances he reckons that the policy, the extra investment in | :11:35. | :11:43. | |
childcare, to give all young children 30 hours of the child | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
killed by 2020, that would be substantially self financing. The | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
information centre has said that it has not seen the evidence for this | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
and has pointed out that right now, there are only 64,000 mothers with | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
young children who are economically inactive. It is that that Labour has | :12:02. | :12:10. | |
seized on. It blows apart the SNP 's flagship childcare policies. It | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
simply says that there are not enough patents looking for work to | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
make this policy pay for itself. There are 40,000 missing mothers and | :12:18. | :12:25. | |
the policy does not add up. If we can emulate Swedish numbers that | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
could generate money that could go back into childcare. In successive | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
years we can see women getting back into the workplace. That is the | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
point of the Scottish Government. More women will get into work. More | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
women will choose to stay there. Over a number of years it will cool | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
female participation. They do not seem to have modelled the policy to | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
work out exactly it would take to hit that 100,000 figure. The | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
opposition say that if they are serious about expanding childcare, | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
they could change priorities and invest more money. The Scottish | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
Government said that the real benefit would come after benefit | :13:05. | :13:12. | |
when any extra tax revenues benefit -- tax revenues gained would accrue | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
into a Scottish fund. For almost ten years now, fishermen | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
have been lifting hundreds of tonnes of litter out of the sea alongside | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
their catches and bringing it back to shore. But, as Kevin Keane | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
reports, this scheme for cleaning up our waters might be under threat. | :13:30. | :13:41. | |
Another day, another haul, and discoveries like these are not | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
unusual. The slowdown in the job and can clog up the machinery. | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
Traditionally, rubbish would have gone back over the side but now | :13:51. | :13:57. | |
these giant bags are used to bring any letter they find on shore. It | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
has made a big difference to the amount of junk labelling up. | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
Year-on-year we are seeing less and less letter. It was at first | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
commonplace to fill three or four bags during one trip, but sometimes | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
we can go back without even a quarter of a bag. On this voyage, a | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
less frequently used fishing ground is trawled. They have brought back | :14:25. | :14:32. | |
two begs sackfuls of rubbish, debts of three, paint pots, floats and | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
even fishing gear, and all of that will go to landfill. For those on | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
board, they are incomers linked to how much fish the land. While there | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
is no financial reward, they take it seriously. The project is becoming | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
normal practice amongst the fleet. We are seeing a habit change. It | :14:59. | :15:07. | |
would be nice to consolidate that. The current phase has now come to an | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
end and the organisers are still looking for financial support to | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
allow it to continue. People living on the north coast of | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
Scotland say they haul are paying more for petrol because of their | :15:25. | :15:32. | |
postcodes. The UK Treasury says it is now looking to find a better | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
system. It lies in one of the most sparsely | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
populated areas of Europe and other were high hopes it was a high | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
candidate for the government's fuel discount scheme, but they have been | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
left off an extended list of eligible areas because it shares the | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
same postcode as the town of Thurso, over 30 miles away. The local | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
community council has been challenging the decision. A lot of | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
people avoid buying fuel in Bettyhill simply because the prices | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
so high. The subsidy would at least ameliorate the price a little bit | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
and would help absolutely everyone. Fuel at the area's only petrol | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
station is up to 12p a litre more expensive than in the town, argue | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
the postcode system threatens an already fragile economy. It is not | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
just local business but the ambulance and health visitors and it | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
isn't credible we are not able to take advantage of a scheme which is | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
supposed to help rural communities. The government has announced today | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
it is looking at a better way of assessing eligibility. We are | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
looking at whether there is a better way of assessment. The high cost of | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
fuel dominates the everyday lives of people living on Scotland's northern | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
edge, but there is optimism that they are calls for help are being | :17:15. | :17:16. | |
heeded. A look at other stories from the | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
across the country. It's being claimed that health care | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
in the north-east could suffer because the area's high cost of | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
living is putting medical workers off moving there. A report for NHS | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
Grampian says there's a risk they'll fail to serve the community | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
properly, if they don't tackle the problem. | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
A campaign to get Scotland dancing has been launched in Stirling. The | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
project will involve more than 250 organisations, a 24 hour ceilidh and | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
the chance to dance along to your favourite movies. | :17:46. | :17:55. | |
It is a hugely ambitious and exciting project to get Scotland | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
dancing. Getting them and keeping them dancing so there are thousands | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
of options to participate. The group behind the Edinburgh | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
International Film Festival is promising a new future for | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
Aberdeen's arthouse cinema. The Belmont complex changed operators, | :18:08. | :18:09. | |
after the Competition Commission ruled that the Cineworld chain had | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
to give it up. There are loads of film-makers in | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
Aberdeen who want to tell stories and get their films on the big | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
screen and get very little opportunity to do that, so one thing | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
is how we position this as the natural home for film-makers and | :18:29. | :18:30. | |
film audiences. Council workers in Aberdeen have | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
been receiving training on how to deal with finding snakes, spiders, | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
scorpions and other creepy crawlies. It follows a number of incidents in | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
the city where staff have encountered exotic pets while | :18:42. | :18:43. | |
carrying out building repairs. Only last month workers were confronted | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
by a boa constrictor loose in a house. | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
A ?10,000 reward is on offer for information about Scotland's worst | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
case of bird-of-prey poisoning. 12 rare red kites and four buzzards | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
have now been found dead on the Black Isle, north of Inverness. | :19:02. | :19:10. | |
Craig Anderson reports. A tranquil rural scene but the | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
errors anguish in the area. Red kites were reintroduced here | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
starting 20 years ago and they are popular with local people and | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
visitors, but the illegal killings have wiped out 10% of the fragile | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
population. I am gutted, this is the worst two weeks I have had in this | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
job. Going out and responding to calls from members of the public | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
about bed kites they have found and also searching nearby would land | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
them coming across their bodies, I could have wept. It is known for its | :19:46. | :19:53. | |
kites and we were just shocked and devastated and would like something | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
to be done. The only solution is a jail term. Most reported raptor | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
poisonings are linked to game estates, but this is farming | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
country. Police say no matter what the motive they regard this as a | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
major crime. Anything using poison bait is an offence and ignorance is | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
not an excuse. We will be following every possible line of enquiry. | :20:21. | :20:28. | |
Police say anybody who finds a dead birds should contact them but they | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
have warned the public because of the danger of the poison not to try | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
to remove the bird soared even touch them. | :20:36. | :20:42. | |
Let's get the sport now, from David. Good evening. One of Scotland's most | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
successful athletes won't be taking part in the Glasgow 2014 Games. 400m | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
runner Lee McConnell had been training for the event but today | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
she's announced her retirement. Rhona Mcleod's been finding out why. | :20:54. | :21:02. | |
She has been at the forefront of international athletics for the last | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
12 years and has one more major championship medals than any other | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
Scottish athlete. Lee McConnell was fast that the blocks and on her way | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
to success with silver in the Manchester Commonwealth Games. Over | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
the years she became a regular fixture with the 4x4 team. But today | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
agonisingly three months before the final finishing line, Lee McConnell | :21:29. | :21:35. | |
has decided to retire. But there is a very good reason why her journey | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
is sending now and he is just behind this door. I would love to be able | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
to compete in Glasgow. I had this little one at the end of October | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
last year than it was always going to be a challenge getting back to | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
full fitness, and I now believe... He wants to take over! I now believe | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
I would not be at my best at Glasgow and they have never been willing to | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
turn up at Glasgow in front of a home crowd and deliver a below par | :22:08. | :22:15. | |
performance. From her personal situation, she has made the right | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
decision, for us, selfishly it is not the right decision by titles | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
with respect what she has done. Spending time away from home becomes | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
more difficult because you are emotionally attached. You finished? | :22:31. | :22:41. | |
I was feeling quite broody until the baby was sick. | :22:42. | :22:43. | |
Onto when men stepping up their preparations. Scotland's hockey | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
women have gone full time to help in their quest for a medal at this | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
summer's Commonwealth Games. The squad, including teachers, doctors | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
and physios are taking paid leave from their work to concentrate on | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
their game. Phil Goodlad reports. Here at the National Hockey Centre, | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
things are really taking shape both fun on the pitch. No work | :22:59. | :23:06. | |
distractions ahead of the games for Scotland's weathermen. A bit of a | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
whirlwind soul this morning I packed my bags and got over to Glasgow. The | :23:13. | :23:20. | |
expectations are growing. You end up working full-time and playing hockey | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
in the evenings so it is pretty hectic. The ?170,000 move is part of | :23:24. | :23:31. | |
a wider Scottish sport initiative allowing players to focus on | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
performance and preparation. The nutrition and the rest and recovery, | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
that is what you can struggle to have when you are trying to balance | :23:40. | :23:47. | |
life with your sport. Scotland's weathermen will revert back to the | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
Bay jobs after the games but Scotland's men will not be going | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
full time because less as expected. They were men we certainly want to | :23:56. | :24:04. | |
make the play-offs whereas the men are going for top eight. | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
Expectations have just shot up for Scotland's were men and we will find | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
out in the summer whether they are good value. | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
Now, a look at what else is happening across Scottish sport. | :24:20. | :24:21. | |
A late Jamie Hamill equaliser against Aberdeen earned them a point | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
- now Hearts must win their remaining six matches to have any | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
hope of avoiding relegation from the premiership. | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
The last couple of performances have been very pleasing. The way we | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
played in the second half, I thought we did very well and even with ten | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
men we never give up. A point was enough to take Aberdeen | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
back second in the League table on goal difference - Willo Flood with | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
their only goal last night. For me, the performance merited the three | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
points but we have recovered ourselves and tonight we will try | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
and win the next one. The Scottish Thistles netball team | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
completed a 3-0 test series win over Trinidad and Tobago last night with | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
a 44 points to 30 win. Very happy with it. To win against Trinidad and | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
Tobago, we have never won against them and to win the series is a | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
fantastic result. Scotland's cricketers will play | :25:17. | :25:18. | |
three games against the Netherlands in the summer.the Dutch beat England | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
this week in the world T20 world cup. | :25:22. | :25:23. | |
More on Lee McConnell's big decision on the BBC sport Scotland | :25:24. | :25:25. | |
website.Let's see how that's all for now. Let's see how | :25:26. | :25:38. | |
the weather is looking, if we must! Gillian's at the map this evening. | :25:39. | :25:46. | |
Some improvement of sorts for based on Scotland but still some rain and | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
the forecast. Today was dominated by this thick blanket of mist than low | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
cloud, and that he's been producing outbreaks of rain continuing this | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
evening affecting many parts. Heavy and more persistent stuff pushes | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
into the south-west getting as far as the central belt. The temperature | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
is around six Celsius and that is not bound much on maximum values in | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
parts of the East Coast. A grey and mist the start and wept especially | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
for the central belt. A difficult morning rush-hour and then the rain | :26:26. | :26:32. | |
moves northwards. At least the rain will clear but it stays pretty | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
cloudy and the best of the conditions tomorrow will be over | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
Shetland where after a damp start we will see some nice sunny spells for | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
the afternoon, but for the Western Isles, a lots of clouds and coastal | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
mist and still outbreaks of rain for the afternoon. So soft that it will | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
become drier but still with the loss of clouds around but at least we | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
lose the easterly winds and temperaturess may be a degree or so | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
higher. We will see some late brightness sneaking into the | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
south-west and the rain continues to attract northwards. Most places will | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
be dry with some clear spells but it does not last long because enters | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
Saturday we see the next weather front tracking of the Atlantic and | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
bringing more rain. Increasing cloud and outbreaks of rain and the marked | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
difference on Saturday is the rain direction. We lose the easterly and | :27:32. | :27:37. | |
pick up a south-westerly and lose a lot of the rain and cloud on the | :27:38. | :27:42. | |
West Coast. For Sunday, another weather front bringing rain and the | :27:43. | :27:48. | |
best spell later on Sunday with some brightness in the West. | :27:49. | :27:51. | |
Thanks. Now, a reminder of tonight's main news. | :27:52. | :27:59. | |
Branding on cigarette packets is set to be banned in England. The | :28:00. | :28:03. | |
Scottish government says it will also look to adopt the plans. | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
Five tower blocks in Glasgow will be blown up as part of the Commonwealth | :28:09. | :28:10. | |
Games opening ceremony. And that's Reporting Scotland. I'll | :28:11. | :28:14. | |
be back with the headlines at 8pm and the late bulletin just after the | :28:15. | :28:16. | |
ten o'clock news. Goodbye. | :28:17. | :28:18. |
