suspected paedophiles. The Scottish team arrives

:00:00.:00:07.

at the Commonwealth Games athletes' village as it's revealed there's

:00:08.:00:10.

been an outbreak of norovirus With a week to go, we'll be asking

:00:11.:00:12.

how concerned the organisers should be and why initially they

:00:13.:00:16.

denied it was norovirus. Also on the programme, the cash runs

:00:17.:00:18.

out for the Government scheme that helps you buy a new home just three

:00:19.:00:21.

months into the financial year. Scotland's economy is growing faster

:00:22.:00:24.

than the UK's as a whole, but there's mixed news

:00:25.:00:27.

on the jobs front. They were the surprise package

:00:28.:00:29.

of the World Cup. Now, Gordon Strachan says Scotland

:00:30.:00:31.

has to play more like Costa Rica And, it's a symbol of the Highlands,

:00:32.:00:34.

but now there are plans to try to introduce the golden eagle to south

:00:35.:00:39.

of Scotland. With just a week until

:00:40.:01:19.

Glasgow's Commonwealth Games, organisers are battling a norovirus

:01:20.:01:21.

outbreak at the athlete's village. Twelve workers there have symptoms

:01:22.:01:24.

of the diarrhoea and vomiting bug. The head of the Games organising

:01:25.:01:26.

committee, David Grevemberg, initially denied it was norovirus,

:01:27.:01:29.

before health experts overruled him. Here's our Health Correspondent,

:01:30.:01:31.

Eleanor Bradford. Norovirus has been called the

:01:32.:01:53.

perfect pathogen. It's easily spread, very contagious and survives

:01:54.:01:57.

for long periods. Although healthy people will recover within a few

:01:58.:02:00.

days, you wouldn't want to get it and then try and win a gold medal.

:02:01.:02:05.

Welcoming Chris Hoy to the airport, the Chief Executive of the Games

:02:06.:02:11.

first denied the situation. It's not norovirus we have had a few isolated

:02:12.:02:18.

incidents of diarrhoea and vomiting which is isolated of two of a

:02:19.:02:24.

certain workforce. Within the hour, health experts confirmed 12 athletes

:02:25.:02:29.

had become infected and norovirus was the cause. It's come to our

:02:30.:02:34.

attention that 12 of the workforce have reported with diarrhoea and

:02:35.:02:37.

vomiting. As a result of that, it was initially nine, then a further

:02:38.:02:41.

three, we've instituted a fairly robust programme of investigation.

:02:42.:02:47.

Very, very infectious, so it's estimated the amount of virus you

:02:48.:02:51.

would find on a pin head is sufficient to infect about a

:02:52.:02:54.

thousand people. In a community like an athlete village, unfortunately,

:02:55.:02:58.

it's possible it will spread. The question now is whether norovirus is

:02:59.:03:02.

in the athlete village. Public health professionals did plan for

:03:03.:03:07.

that scenario and with deep cleaning and strict hygiene measures, they

:03:08.:03:10.

may be able to keep it under control. For the man in charge of

:03:11.:03:15.

the Games to deny a potential public health problem is not the most

:03:16.:03:19.

auspicious or reassuring start. Two members of

:03:20.:03:24.

Cameroon's Commonwealth Games wrestling team have gone missing

:03:25.:03:25.

from their Aberdeen training camp. ??EDITNEXTSUBTITLE

:03:26.:03:28.

their pre-games training in Aberdeen Meanwhile,

:03:36.:03:38.

talks will take place on Friday to try to avert a strike by BBC staff

:03:39.:03:49.

during the Games Opening Ceremony. Three unions are planning a 12-hour

:03:50.:03:52.

strike next Wednesday over pay. Our correspondent Jamie McIvor's

:03:53.:03:55.

with us. If this goes ahead, what will be the

:03:56.:04:08.

impact? It's almost certain the opening ceremony will be seen in

:04:09.:04:11.

Britain and around the world. The pictures of the ceremony itself are

:04:12.:04:17.

produced by an independent company and the BBC broadcasters around the

:04:18.:04:21.

world have simply bought the rights to show the Games. What could

:04:22.:04:26.

potential be affected though is the BBC's own programme. Now, across the

:04:27.:04:30.

riv from the studio that's been specially built to house some of the

:04:31.:04:35.

BBC's Commonwealth Games coverage, the kind of things that may be

:04:36.:04:38.

affected by the coverage are things like the commentary, and the studio

:04:39.:04:42.

presentation, all the elements that could help turn next Wednesday

:04:43.:04:47.

night's ceremony into a fully rounded television programme. News

:04:48.:04:50.

coverage of the opening ceremony, it could be badly affected too.

:04:51.:04:54.

Talks are planned but is there any hope of the strike being called off?

:04:55.:05:00.

Yes. Talks are taking place on Friday in London between senior BBC

:05:01.:05:03.

management and the three unions involved in this dispute. It's a

:05:04.:05:08.

UK-wide pay dispute and the unions make the point that they say members

:05:09.:05:12.

of staff have seen the value of their pay fall in real terms in

:05:13.:05:17.

recent years. I spoke to the National Union of Journalists

:05:18.:05:21.

Scottish organiser and asked him if calling a strike next Wednesday had

:05:22.:05:26.

been wise. It's wise in the sense that strategicically it's worked.

:05:27.:05:30.

There is a meeting only hours after we told them the ballot results and

:05:31.:05:36.

said we'll take action on that day. No-one in this building wants to

:05:37.:05:39.

disrupt the Commonwealth Games. It's a massive event for Glasgow and

:05:40.:05:43.

Scotland. However, the BBC need to realise that we are not prepared to

:05:44.:05:48.

put up with this type of treatment. The BBC makes a point it's already

:05:49.:05:52.

improved on original pay offer and says it's mindful of the need for

:05:53.:05:55.

savings with the TV licence frozen. We meet the paralympian hoping to go

:05:56.:06:10.

one better after winning silver in the Paralympics. Scotland must play

:06:11.:06:16.

football like Costa Rica or Chile so says Gordon Strachan. And the stage

:06:17.:06:23.

is set for the 143rd Open Championship.

:06:24.:06:30.

The BBC has learned the Scottish Government's Help to Buy

:06:31.:06:33.

scheme has run out of money for this financial year, just three

:06:34.:06:36.

It's now too late for most people to apply for the scheme that

:06:37.:06:40.

Our economics Correspondent Colletta Smith has the story.

:06:41.:06:48.

The Help To Buy scheme has been a flagship for people like Lynn,

:06:49.:06:54.

helping her buy a brand-new home. It's made a difference. We wouldn't

:06:55.:06:59.

be here without it so we've definitely got more than what we

:07:00.:07:02.

expected. That is what the Scottish Government were hoping for when they

:07:03.:07:10.

launched and extended the scheme. This scheme is really important. It

:07:11.:07:13.

helps people who struggle to get a deposit.

:07:14.:07:16.

But for most of Scotland, just three months into this financial year, the

:07:17.:07:20.

money has already run out. At the start of April, the

:07:21.:07:25.

Government set aside enough money to support 2,000 homes. By the start of

:07:26.:07:30.

July this year, only 600 deals were left.

:07:31.:07:33.

They divided the deals into population areas. In the last ten

:07:34.:07:38.

days, all the allocations for the central belt have gone, and mortgage

:07:39.:07:43.

brokers believe it's likely the remaining 180 deals for Aberdeen,

:07:44.:07:47.

Inverness and Orkney, will be agreed within the next two weeks. For the

:07:48.:07:50.

majority of people living in Scotland, the chance of buying a new

:07:51.:07:53.

home with Government help is already over.

:07:54.:07:57.

That is especial hi tough for those really close to signing a deal and

:07:58.:08:00.

whose mortgages will now fall through.

:08:01.:08:07.

-- Especially tough. These people potentially have been planning this

:08:08.:08:10.

for a very long time and within ten days the scheme's literally closed,

:08:11.:08:13.

so it will be a number of people that will be upset by this, no

:08:14.:08:17.

question. The Scottish Government says there's been huge demand for

:08:18.:08:20.

the scheme but people can continue to apply to purchase homes which

:08:21.:08:26.

will be completed from the 1st April 20156789 that will be cold contract

:08:27.:08:29.

for those hoping for a new home this year.

:08:30.:08:36.

The Westminster leader of the SNP, Angus Robertson,

:08:37.:08:39.

is calling for an apology from the Prime Minister and the former

:08:40.:08:43.

Mr Robertson says both men, during today's Prime Minister's

:08:44.:08:50.

questions, falsely attributed comments by the new President of the

:08:51.:08:54.

European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, about Scotland.

:08:55.:08:57.

Mr Juncker says he was not referring to Scotland when he said there would

:08:58.:09:01.

be no new members of the EU in the next five years.

:09:02.:09:08.

Scotland's economy grew at the start of this year faster

:09:09.:09:12.

According to official figures, Scottish output is now stronger

:09:13.:09:18.

But the number of people who're unemployed has also risen.

:09:19.:09:24.

Our business correspondent David Henderson can tell us more.

:09:25.:09:32.

Scotland's economy grew a bit faster than the UK as a whole in the first

:09:33.:09:37.

three months of this year and Scotland is reaching the point where

:09:38.:09:40.

the economy is bigger than it was before the financial crash.

:09:41.:09:48.

This firm is helping British golfers who don't just want to drive off the

:09:49.:09:53.

tee. They sell golf buggies around the world and have set up in

:09:54.:09:56.

Cumbernauld. The vehicles will be used at the Ryder Cup, at Gleneagles

:09:57.:10:01.

in September. They are taking on staff to meet demand from a growing

:10:02.:10:08.

Scottish market. We have covered the west and East Coast from here and

:10:09.:10:12.

Gleneagles is only half an hour up the road, so it fits for us and we

:10:13.:10:17.

are very excited about moving into Scotland. We are bringing in bland

:10:18.:10:22.

new units and obviously employment as well -- brand-new units.

:10:23.:10:27.

Extra demand for what they sell has prompted many firms to take on staff

:10:28.:10:32.

and that trend is continuing. It's good news to see the recovery

:10:33.:10:37.

is going strongly here in Scotland. 1% growth on the quarter meaning

:10:38.:10:42.

that the economy is now 2.6% larger than it was this time last year, so

:10:43.:10:46.

conning that momentum is clearly a very positive sign for businesses.

:10:47.:10:55.

It's not all good news. Today the oil company Cheveron announced plans

:10:56.:11:01.

to cut over 200 jobs in Aberdeen. The red to recovery is bumpy to

:11:02.:11:06.

firms and customers alike. What has been the impact on the rest of the

:11:07.:11:10.

workforce? 2 t latest figures show the number of people looking for a

:11:11.:11:15.

job rose by 13,000 even though it fell across the UK as a whole. But

:11:16.:11:20.

at the same time, Scotland's total workforce rose to an all-time high.

:11:21.:11:25.

Some parts of Scotland are clearly faring better than others. In

:11:26.:11:28.

Shetland, there's almost foul employment and the island's economy

:11:29.:11:33.

is growing fast, as my colleague has been finding out.

:11:34.:11:42.

It's boom time force Shetland. The building of the new gas plant is

:11:43.:11:46.

reaping rich rewards for the islands. Lerwick Harbour is a good

:11:47.:11:50.

illustration of how busy Shetland is at the moment. There are three

:11:51.:11:54.

cruise liners and three accommodation barges housing around

:11:55.:11:58.

1700 temporary workers, building the new gas plant. They are all spending

:11:59.:12:06.

money in the local shops and pubs. This year's continued building of

:12:07.:12:12.

the new gas plant and the planned refurbishment of the terminal too.

:12:13.:12:17.

Shetland's economy is largely based on fishing.

:12:18.:12:25.

The sector is worth over ?300 million a year to the island's

:12:26.:12:28.

economy. Two thirds of Scottish mussels are

:12:29.:12:38.

grown here. The boom economy is presenting

:12:39.:12:41.

challenges for the islands. House prices have doubled in the last

:12:42.:12:45.

decade, according to the Bank of Scotland. The average price of a

:12:46.:12:53.

home here is over ?153,000. Steven helps run a small engineering

:12:54.:12:57.

company in Shetland. With the abundance in and around Shetland,

:12:58.:13:00.

combined with the engineering skills shortage we are seeing, the wages in

:13:01.:13:05.

the oil and gas sector have become highly inflated. The next boom is

:13:06.:13:08.

already on the horizon. A power station and school are in the

:13:09.:13:13.

pipeline, Lerwick harbour is gearing up for decommissioning, and to the

:13:14.:13:17.

west of the island, oil and gas deals are being developed all the

:13:18.:13:19.

time. So, Shetland at least is booming.

:13:20.:13:24.

But across Scotland, the recovery remains uneven. For most of us, wage

:13:25.:13:28.

rises still lag behind the rate of inflation.

:13:29.:13:32.

While the economy is getting stronger, many still don't feel any

:13:33.:13:41.

richer. I'll talk to the Finance Secretary,

:13:42.:13:46.

John Swinney. There is good news for the Scottish economy today. George

:13:47.:13:49.

Osborne says he is in denial about the costs of independence. We'll

:13:50.:13:52.

talk about homophobia in the Commonwealth. What should we do

:13:53.:14:00.

about it during the Games? Now a look at what else is happening

:14:01.:14:04.

across the country: A three-year-old boy is being treated at hospital for

:14:05.:14:08.

facial injuries after being attacked by a pitbull in a garden in

:14:09.:14:11.

Kilmarnock. The dog has been put down.

:14:12.:14:15.

A 25-year-old man has been reported to the pro Procurator Fiscal in

:14:16.:14:19.

relation to the incident. A man has died following a motorbike accident

:14:20.:14:26.

on the Lossiemouth airbase last night. The 49-year-old was off duty

:14:27.:14:31.

from the RAF. He's not been named. An investigation will be carried

:14:32.:14:33.

out. Police are investigating a factory

:14:34.:14:39.

in Fife after a series of random drug test failures among the

:14:40.:14:44.

workforce. The company makes parts for the North Sea oil and gas

:14:45.:14:46.

industry. NHS Orkney is to carry out an

:14:47.:14:51.

internal investigation after admission and treatment records for

:14:52.:14:54.

seven hospital patients were found in the street. Its Chief Executive

:14:55.:14:57.

has tell scribed the incident as a serious breach of patient

:14:58.:15:06.

confidentiality. Tweed could get counterfeit

:15:07.:15:11.

protection. It wants to extend the status from defined areas.

:15:12.:15:19.

This year's design for the floral clock in Edinburgh's Prince's Street

:15:20.:15:26.

gardens has been unveiled. 30,000 plants have been used to

:15:27.:15:31.

create this celebration of a decade of Fair Trade in the capital.

:15:32.:15:38.

The sprinter Libby Clegg won silver at the London Paralympics but in

:15:39.:15:42.

Glasgow she's looking to two one better. The -- 24-year-old -year-old

:15:43.:15:51.

is registered blind. Jane Lewis has been to meet the

:15:52.:15:57.

paralympian who has a unique relationship with her partner. I put

:15:58.:16:00.

my thumb through this bit. I've got to make sure I start at the

:16:01.:16:17.

same time as Libby. I feel closer. A lot of the stuff that we do is on

:16:18.:16:22.

movement. Especially going around the bend. She knows then that if I

:16:23.:16:29.

give her a slight tug and lean, she knows. Yes. Difference sizes. You

:16:30.:16:37.

obviously work well to get that straight? It's natural for us

:16:38.:16:41.

really. It's like finding a partner in life, like having a relationship

:16:42.:16:47.

with him. It's kind of you either click or you don't. I've had a guide

:16:48.:16:55.

dog now for about five weeks. It's going really we can. -- Really well.

:16:56.:17:02.

I have an eye condition which basically is the loss of my central

:17:03.:17:09.

vision. I try and be a normal 24-year-old person. Now you are

:17:10.:17:17.

moving on to the Commonwealth Games. You are an honorary Scot for this? I

:17:18.:17:22.

know, I know! It's an honour. It really is. For me, having to wear

:17:23.:17:26.

the kilt as well, it's part of the culture, and I'm, you know, set to

:17:27.:17:31.

embrace that and I'm looking forward to it.

:17:32.:17:38.

We are looking for a gold. We are going to put down a fantastic

:17:39.:17:41.

performance that will hopefully please the crowd. Yes.

:17:42.:17:49.

Let's get the rest of the sport now. Scotland must follow the lead of

:17:50.:17:52.

Costa Rica and Chile if they are to compete at the top of international

:17:53.:17:57.

football, according to Scotland boss Gordon Strachan who says their team

:17:58.:18:01.

ethic helped pull off some shock results at the World Cup.

:18:02.:18:06.

For Gordon Strachan and Scotland, the hope is that all roads now lead

:18:07.:18:15.

to Paris. Or at least to Euro 2016. The template for success is the one

:18:16.:18:20.

for all and all for one philosophy employed by Costa Rica and some of

:18:21.:18:24.

their World Cup surprise packages. What they do is, they look like a

:18:25.:18:30.

team. They actually have to work harder, whether it's on the football

:18:31.:18:34.

field or the training area, they work harder. They want to win games.

:18:35.:18:39.

If they do everything as a team, we are in that bracket, we are hoping

:18:40.:18:44.

we'll have a team unit that can play against anybody.

:18:45.:18:50.

It's not just anybody who provides the first obstacle en route to

:18:51.:18:53.

France, it's the epitome of what Strachan most admires.

:18:54.:19:00.

I think the Germans look like a team. The other ones who're there,

:19:01.:19:07.

it was based on a kind of, an individual looking teams. It was

:19:08.:19:10.

based on waiting for individuals to produce a certain bit of form. But

:19:11.:19:16.

the Germans, they're a team. At the moment, they are THE team.

:19:17.:19:22.

Maybe Scotland's best hope is that DAS team are still giddy with World

:19:23.:19:27.

Cup euphoria when they host the Scots in September.

:19:28.:19:32.

The new Celtic manager is mostly happy with his first competitive

:19:33.:19:37.

game in charge. It was a 1-0 away win over the Icelandic side

:19:38.:19:45.

Reykjavik. It was a goal to remember for Callum McGregor on his debut for

:19:46.:19:51.

Celtic. I'm absolutely delighted. It was my

:19:52.:19:56.

first competitive start as well. Being in the Champions League as

:19:57.:19:59.

well, I'm delighted that the team got the win we needed and on a

:20:00.:20:04.

personal note delighted with the goal. It was a bit sleepy at first,

:20:05.:20:09.

in the second half, it was much better when we played through them,

:20:10.:20:13.

penetrating passes and getting more runs. We opened them up. Happy with

:20:14.:20:17.

the performance, especially the second half. Mo Farah has Tweeted

:20:18.:20:22.

training is going well, next up the Commonwealth Games. The double

:20:23.:20:26.

Olympic gold medallist has been given the all-clear by doctors after

:20:27.:20:31.

tests for stomach pains. He missed the Diamond League last week. He is

:20:32.:20:36.

due to run in the 5,000 and 10,000 metres.

:20:37.:20:42.

At 6.25 tomorrow morning, the 143rd open Championship gets under way at

:20:43.:20:46.

Hoylake with Englishman David huh rehiting the first ball. Eight Scots

:20:47.:20:51.

are in the field all with dreams of lifting the Claret Jug.

:20:52.:20:58.

Here at Royal Liverpool, they are getting ready with the galleries

:20:59.:21:02.

getting into position to cheer on their favourites. Come on, Tiger...

:21:03.:21:07.

The return of Tiger Woods is making the Hoylake headlines. After a good

:21:08.:21:11.

week at Royal Aberdeen, others are also keen to impress. There's

:21:12.:21:16.

obviously another week but same kind of conditions, similar golf courses.

:21:17.:21:22.

They are identical almost. Old-fashioned link ings. It's going

:21:23.:21:27.

to be a great week. It's 15 years since this man won. A Scot following

:21:28.:21:32.

suit this week would be a surprise, but then stranger things have

:21:33.:21:36.

already been seen here. It's a pop-up camera. I bought it with the

:21:37.:21:40.

soul purpose of attracting the attention of the players. So far,

:21:41.:21:44.

only one has noticed that I'm wearing it.

:21:45.:21:49.

The stand out week in the goofing calendar. While the Ryder Cup may be

:21:50.:21:54.

coming to Gleneagles, for the players, Open Championship can never

:21:55.:22:01.

be overshadowed. Do you ever wonder what would happen if you got a

:22:02.:22:04.

two-shot lead? Of course that,'s what I dream of. Promise us an

:22:05.:22:10.

interview if you hold the Claret Jug? I can manage that. It's all

:22:11.:22:15.

quiet here but that's set to change. Come Sunday, there'll be a name on

:22:16.:22:18.

the score board behind me, the question is, who will it be?

:22:19.:22:24.

Indeed. Always a cliff hanger with Phil!

:22:25.:22:27.

Thank you very much. The golden eagle is one of the country's most

:22:28.:22:31.

iconic species and a symbol of the Highlands. A new report says the

:22:32.:22:35.

south of Scotland could also become a stronghold for the birds if work

:22:36.:22:39.

is carried out to improve their natural habitat. Here is our

:22:40.:22:42.

Environment Correspondent, David Miller.

:22:43.:22:50.

Hundreding on the hillside or soaring along a mountain ridge. The

:22:51.:22:58.

golden eagle is at home in the Highlands and islands -- hunting on

:22:59.:23:03.

the hillside. In the south, the skies are often

:23:04.:23:09.

empty, only a few pairs of golden eagles breed successfully here each

:23:10.:23:12.

year. If golden eagles are to thrive again

:23:13.:23:16.

here in the south of Scotland, they'll need more places like this.

:23:17.:23:23.

This is the wild wood and, on the hillside, the trees are beginning to

:23:24.:23:28.

regenerate naturally. That provides an ideal place for golden eagles to

:23:29.:23:32.

hunt. The report from Scottish Natural

:23:33.:23:37.

Heritage says the south of Scotland could support up to 16 breeding

:23:38.:23:42.

pairs. But, improving the habitat is only part of the story.

:23:43.:23:47.

The great work with the Forestry Commission that's been done in terms

:23:48.:23:52.

of improving woodlands to provide much more open spaces and prey for

:23:53.:23:56.

the bird, making sure that trees are there for golden eagles, of course

:23:57.:23:59.

making sure there is no persecution, and that the windfarms are sited in

:24:00.:24:04.

the right place. Windfarms are a real threat to birds

:24:05.:24:10.

of prey. But, research suggests the numbers killed are low in comparison

:24:11.:24:14.

with those which fall victim to shooting, trapping and poisoning.

:24:15.:24:20.

The poisoning of the female from the breeding pair across in BBCshire in

:24:21.:24:29.

2007 drew attention to this -- Peebleshire. Landowners

:24:30.:24:32.

organisations condemn persecution. They'll have a key role to play if

:24:33.:24:39.

the fortunes of the golden eagle are to be restored here.

:24:40.:24:46.

Know the Queen's Baton Relay is getting ever closer to its Glasgow

:24:47.:24:50.

destination ahead of the Games next week. Tonight, where is it, because

:24:51.:24:55.

Christopher is there too. Thank you very much. Welcome to a

:24:56.:25:00.

beautiful evening here. Perfect timing because the Queen's baton has

:25:01.:25:06.

literally just arrived here after a day touring throughout east

:25:07.:25:09.

Renfrewshire and the celebrations are ongoing this evening.

:25:10.:25:13.

Entertainment and music celebrate the day's activities and perfect

:25:14.:25:17.

conditions for it as well. What about the conditions for the

:25:18.:25:21.

rest of this week? This evening and overnight, it's largely dry. The

:25:22.:25:25.

last of the rain clearing away from the East Coast, some holding on

:25:26.:25:31.

around Sky and the West Highlands. It's largely dry overnight. The odd

:25:32.:25:35.

mist or fog patch around. Certainly nothing too cold.

:25:36.:25:41.

Temperatures no lower than ten or 11. Milder in town. Tomorrow, high

:25:42.:25:50.

pressure is in charge. It's dry and settled across-the-board, bright and

:25:51.:25:53.

sunny for many. One or two light showers in the hills and high

:25:54.:25:56.

ground. For most, it's a dry day. Reasonably

:25:57.:26:02.

pleasantly warm. By mid afternoon, through the central belt,

:26:03.:26:07.

temperatures 20 to 22. Somewhat cooler towards the West Coast up

:26:08.:26:10.

through the Highlands and islands and more like high teens here plus

:26:11.:26:20.

one or two light showers. It's dry with brighter skies. A

:26:21.:26:24.

breeze off the sea will mean a cooling trend on the coast through

:26:25.:26:29.

the day. The Queen's Baton Relay moves through towards Renfrewshire

:26:30.:26:33.

tomorrow and it looks set fair weather wise. The rest of the

:26:34.:26:42.

afternoon, evening and night, sunny skies, much like this evening. You

:26:43.:26:47.

can see as we head through towards Friday, high pressure pulls away

:26:48.:26:51.

towards Scandinavia and that will introduce low pressure from England,

:26:52.:26:54.

bringing some heavy showers, mainly in the south-west. On Friday, the

:26:55.:27:01.

risk of a few heavy showers. Cloudier towards the East Coast, hot

:27:02.:27:09.

in the north-west, with 24, maybe 25 di-Greigs. -- degrees.

:27:10.:27:16.

That is the forecast. From all the celebrations here behind me, it's

:27:17.:27:19.

back to you. Thank you very much. The top
