The Jewish community says it?s hurt and angry over plans to fly

It's official - Scots are using smartphones at a greater

I could live without it, but it makes things easier.

:00:32.:00:45.

I don't think I could do without it.

:00:46.:00:48.

This is my replacement for a newspaper.

the Commonwealth Games legacy Glasgow didn't want.

:00:49.:00:52.

This statue of Clyde the mascot has been stolen, and the

:00:53.:00:54.

other 25 are having to be removed from locations around the city.

:00:55.:00:57.

And the dogs of war - the story of how those trained

:00:58.:01:00.

on a beach in Dundee helped the First World War effort.

:01:01.:01:15.

The first minister, Alex Salmond, has faced fresh calls to spell out

:01:16.:01:20.

his plan B for the currency of an independent Scotland

:01:21.:01:23.

if the UK government won't agree a formal currency union.

:01:24.:01:25.

All three opposition leaders pressed him on the issue at Holyrood

:01:26.:01:29.

And the former SNP deputy leader, Jim Sillars, has urged him to opt

:01:30.:01:35.

But Mr Salmond insists we'll continue to share

:01:36.:01:40.

Here's our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell.

:01:41.:01:50.

Yes Scotland say independence would offer people the opportunity to grow

:01:51.:01:59.

the economy. But a cloud, controversy over the currency.

:02:00.:02:06.

Labour again urged Alex Salmond to name his alternative in

:02:07.:02:10.

independence. Alex Salmond knew what to expect, as the issue had

:02:11.:02:17.

dominated the televised debate. Labour said he could not force rest

:02:18.:02:22.

of the UK into a currency union against their will.

:02:23.:02:27.

Is it not clear that while he may have a plan to break up the United

:02:28.:02:30.

Kingdom, he does not have a plan for Scotland or the future of families

:02:31.:02:34.

across this country. Alex Salmond said options included

:02:35.:02:39.

the euro, a Scottish currency or using sterling without agreement.

:02:40.:02:42.

That would mean the rest of the UK kept the Bank of England, but also

:02:43.:02:47.

all the debts, missing out on five billion pounds every year from

:02:48.:02:50.

Scotland. Tempting, he said, but wrong. It would be extremely

:02:51.:02:57.

attractive for Scotland. But it is not a reasonable position

:02:58.:03:01.

to put forward. That is why as part of a formal currency union, it is

:03:02.:03:05.

our apparent, and we intend to keep it.

:03:06.:03:09.

The Chancellor and his counterpart in Labour and the Liberal Democrats

:03:10.:03:13.

have all ruled out a currency union, which the Scottish Government

:03:14.:03:19.

regards as a bluff. By this leading independence

:03:20.:03:22.

campaigner thinks it is time to choose another currency option.

:03:23.:03:29.

We have a viable alternative, and that is a Scottish currency with our

:03:30.:03:33.

own central bank printing Scottish notes which we will peg completely

:03:34.:03:39.

disturbing so there is no difference whatsoever, and for the life of me,

:03:40.:03:44.

I cannot understand why Alex Salmond cannot say that the Scottish

:03:45.:03:48.

people. The First Minister says he remains

:03:49.:03:50.

convinced the UK will withdraw opposition to a formal union if

:03:51.:03:52.

there is a Yes vote in September. And Glenn joins us now

:03:53.:03:55.

from Holyrood. So, Glenn - is Alex Salmond

:03:56.:03:57.

sticking with his Plan A? It seems so. He used the phrase, "it

:03:58.:04:07.

is Scotland's pound and we're keeping it." And the more resolute

:04:08.:04:12.

he sounds on this, the more difficult it becomes for him to

:04:13.:04:17.

change tack down the line. There is the recipe of opinion within the Yes

:04:18.:04:23.

campaign. It is not just Jim Sellers, but also the Scottish Green

:04:24.:04:30.

party leader, and the chairman of Yes Scotland, Dennis Canavan, who

:04:31.:04:32.

would prefer a separate Scottish currency. The Yes campaign say this

:04:33.:04:39.

diversity is sign of strength. You can bet the opponents will try to

:04:40.:04:42.

exploit it as a sign of weakness and division, perhaps tomorrow when Ed

:04:43.:04:47.

Miliband joined the campaign in Scotland.

:04:48.:04:48.

And there have been further interventions into the independence

:04:49.:04:50.

Yes, 27 US Congressmen and Congresswoman have reflected the

:04:51.:05:05.

view that the United Kingdom should remain united. They say that is in

:05:06.:05:10.

the United States' national security interests. We have also had an

:05:11.:05:14.

intervention from the broadcaster Dan Snow who has collected

:05:15.:05:18.

signatures from 200 prominent figures, including Sir Mick Jagger

:05:19.:05:25.

and Dean Judi Dench, and they hope the celebrity currency will

:05:26.:05:31.

encourage Scots to vote no on September the 18th. Scotland say

:05:32.:05:37.

that all of those who Scotland's interest at heart will welcome

:05:38.:05:44.

Scotland becoming an independent country that is what the people of

:05:45.:05:46.

Scotland decides. The Palestinian flag is to be raised

:05:47.:05:47.

at Glasgow City Chambers tomorrow in support of people affected

:05:48.:05:50.

by the conflict in Gaza. But, the city's Jewish

:05:51.:05:52.

Representative Council says the move does "nothing to alleviate suffering

:05:53.:05:54.

on either side of the conflict". Today there was a lobby of

:05:55.:06:10.

Parliament at Holyrood for victims of the conflict in Gaza. Around 40

:06:11.:06:15.

MSPs keen to show support. Last month, the Scottish Government

:06:16.:06:18.

announced it is providing half ?1 million to help people affected. In

:06:19.:06:23.

recent weeks, the conflict has seen the deaths of almost 1900

:06:24.:06:29.

Palestinians and 67 Israelis. Glasgow is twinned with Bethlehem,

:06:30.:06:33.

part of Palestine, although not in the Gaza Strip. The two cities have

:06:34.:06:37.

had a long-standing relationship. The Palestinian flag is set to fly

:06:38.:06:42.

here tomorrow between it caught in the morning and five o'clock in the

:06:43.:06:46.

afternoon. In a letter to the Mayor of Bethlehem, the Lord Provost of

:06:47.:06:50.

Glasgow says that this is in solidarity with the people of

:06:51.:06:54.

Bethlehem and Palestine, and she offers her condolences to those in

:06:55.:06:57.

Palestine affected by this conflict. Some members of the Jewish

:06:58.:07:03.

community feel angered and hurt by the move.

:07:04.:07:08.

I think it is appallingly divisive, and I think it is a pity after such

:07:09.:07:12.

a successful Commonwealth Games which brought people together,

:07:13.:07:16.

Glasgow City Council are setting one side against another side.

:07:17.:07:20.

Glasgow Council says this is not about taking sides.

:07:21.:07:25.

We have no connection whatsoever with high Mass, and we have sympathy

:07:26.:07:29.

with victims on all sides of this conflict wouldn't be people from

:07:30.:07:33.

Israel, Palestine, Bethlehem, wherever.

:07:34.:07:38.

Glasgow is not the first local authority with a history of

:07:39.:07:44.

supporting the cause. Dundee's support cost protest in the nineteen

:07:45.:07:48.

eighties. Last week and is really show at the Edinburgh fringe was

:07:49.:07:52.

cancelled after just one performance following a protest by April Hamas

:07:53.:08:00.

group. Glasgow council says it is because of these images of

:08:01.:08:02.

devastation it will raise the Palestinian flag. Fife Council has

:08:03.:08:05.

similar plans. The nuclear power station

:08:06.:08:07.

at Hunterston in Ayrshire is receiving a multi-million pound

:08:08.:08:10.

overhaul, after the decision to The plant's operators say

:08:11.:08:12.

the project is delivering But anti-nuclear campaigners say

:08:13.:08:17.

it's time for Hunterston to close. Our environment correspondent,

:08:18.:08:21.

David Miller, reports. Hunterston B on the Ayrshire coast.

:08:22.:08:35.

It began operating in 1876 and has been helping to keep the lights on

:08:36.:08:40.

across Scotland ever since. This power station has already had its

:08:41.:08:46.

working life extended until 2023. Huge sums of money are being

:08:47.:08:50.

invested here to ensure it continues to operate safely and efficiently.

:08:51.:08:57.

The project is the result of two years of meticulous planning.

:08:58.:09:01.

Workforce here has more than doubled in size.

:09:02.:09:06.

Obviously as the plant ages we have to look at what is ageing and

:09:07.:09:11.

replace some components, and more importantly test and inspect

:09:12.:09:14.

components as you would with a vintage car.

:09:15.:09:18.

The replacement of this massive transformer unit is one of the

:09:19.:09:22.

biggest tasks. The overall cost is more than ?20 million. Businesses

:09:23.:09:28.

across the West of Scotland are benefiting.

:09:29.:09:35.

Our nuclear business is very important to sustaining jobs locally

:09:36.:09:38.

and investing in facilities like what you see here in Renfrew.

:09:39.:09:44.

For opponents of nuclear energy insist that Hunterston should be

:09:45.:09:48.

decommissioned. This thing is limping along, the

:09:49.:09:52.

spending a lot of money to keep it limping along when it could break

:09:53.:09:56.

down at any point, and we do not need it, in Scotland we are

:09:57.:10:00.

exporting electricity to England most days because we create so much

:10:01.:10:04.

electricity here. Hunterston and its sister station

:10:05.:10:08.

will require major investment in the coming years. Expect the sparks to

:10:09.:10:12.

keep flying in the debate on nuclear energy.

:10:13.:10:14.

You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC.

:10:15.:10:15.

Still to come on tonight's programme:

:10:16.:10:18.

We visit Little Sparta - a sculpture garden in the Pentland Hills and one

:10:19.:10:21.

no champions league for Celtic this year.

:10:22.:10:28.

Has a lack of investment in players cost Celtic dear?

:10:29.:10:30.

And the Scots swimmer who says gold at Glasgow's put her

:10:31.:10:33.

Could you live without your smartphone?

:10:34.:10:44.

Would you get withdrawal symptoms if you couldn't go online

:10:45.:10:47.

Research out today suggests that Scots are taking up smartphones

:10:48.:10:51.

at a faster rate than people in the rest of the UK.

:10:52.:10:54.

Our correspondent Jamie McIvor has been looking at the research.

:10:55.:11:02.

In a relatively short time phones with an internet connection have

:11:03.:11:04.

More than 6 out of 10 of us now have one.

:11:05.:11:09.

The number of us with one has gone up 17% in just a year.

:11:10.:11:12.

And it seems we've been starting to use

:11:13.:11:14.

our mobiles to go online wherever we are, at a faster rate than people

:11:15.:11:19.

Relaxing over coffee and the web. For many of us, tracking the

:11:20.:11:35.

Internet when we're out about has become an addiction.

:11:36.:11:41.

You get used to it, it just makes life easier.

:11:42.:11:47.

34-mac hours a day, probably. It is part of life. It is what we do.

:11:48.:11:53.

It is an addiction, yes, but I don't think I could do without it.

:11:54.:11:59.

This has been my replacement for a newspaper, and that is it.

:12:00.:12:07.

The typical Scott spends two and a half hours a day on the Internet.

:12:08.:12:13.

That is a little less than the UK average, but more are getting the

:12:14.:12:17.

habit. The more people go online, the more

:12:18.:12:21.

there will be buzz about the benefits and more people will want

:12:22.:12:22.

that experience. And more of us now have

:12:23.:12:26.

the internet at home too. More than three quarters of us -

:12:27.:12:29.

have broadband. There'd been some concern Scotland

:12:30.:12:31.

had been lagging behind when it came These fears now seem

:12:32.:12:34.

to be being allayed. Last month and upper tier tax

:12:35.:12:47.

tribunal dismissed in HMRC appeal against a first-year decision made

:12:48.:12:52.

on players and other employees of Rangers football club. Tax authority

:12:53.:12:55.

argued unsuccessfully that the payment should be taxable. The group

:12:56.:13:01.

which formerly owned Rangers argued that the money was loans.

:13:02.:13:04.

A statue of Clyde, Glasgow's Commonwealth Games mascot,

:13:05.:13:06.

has been stolen from a street in the Govan area of the city.

:13:07.:13:09.

Our reporter Aileen Clarke joins us now from Victoria Park where there

:13:10.:13:12.

This Clyde is still here, but not for long. If you look over there you

:13:13.:13:27.

will see a council team poised and ready to take this one to a place of

:13:28.:13:32.

safety, as soon as I am finished speaking. This is a very sad tale of

:13:33.:13:40.

modern life. The Clyde in Govan was happily standing on his plans last

:13:41.:13:43.

night, but when people turned up to work this morning we noticed that

:13:44.:13:47.

there Clyde, with the Finnieston Crane on his chest, was missing.

:13:48.:13:52.

When he was reported stolen, the City Council for the best thing was

:13:53.:13:56.

to gather in all the others that were out in the city just in case.

:13:57.:14:05.

It happened been their intention to gather the statues in when the

:14:06.:14:08.

children went back to school, so they are doing it a little earlier.

:14:09.:14:12.

That have been a few instances of the plaques being vandalised, so

:14:13.:14:17.

they thought they would give them a brush up. They are hoping to get

:14:18.:14:21.

them back out to public view once that has been done, but it seems

:14:22.:14:26.

that will not be in open spaces in parks like this, it will be inside

:14:27.:14:32.

buildings like sports centres. So if anybody comes up to you in a pub

:14:33.:14:35.

this weekend and asks if you want to buy a second-hand Clyde, the answer

:14:36.:14:41.

is just see no. Always good advice!

:14:42.:14:43.

For the last few weeks the media spotlight has been on Scotland for

:14:44.:14:46.

But that gaze will now refocus on the referendum.

:14:47.:14:49.

Our Referendum Correspondent Laura Bicker has been taking a look

:14:50.:14:52.

As the lone piper bead athletes farewell, it was time for the

:14:53.:15:08.

world's media to prepare for Scotland's next big contest. What

:15:09.:15:12.

have our visitors made of the independence referendum?

:15:13.:15:18.

Yes, yes, yes from the younger ones, and no from the oldies.

:15:19.:15:24.

I only found out about it when I got to the UK a few weeks ago.

:15:25.:15:29.

The only thing I know is it is a one-way decision, so it is a big

:15:30.:15:31.

decision. I think a lot of people want

:15:32.:15:37.

independence, I think so. Amongst the journalists we found

:15:38.:15:41.

Scott Russell from Canada. Qu?bec has twice asked its people if they

:15:42.:15:46.

want to become an independent state, and twice the answer has been no.

:15:47.:15:51.

Although, the last time, it was close.

:15:52.:15:56.

This is all about culture, it is all about self-determination. People

:15:57.:16:00.

tend to recall the history when the need to and when they want to, and I

:16:01.:16:04.

think this is what is going to happen in Scotland. If the

:16:05.:16:08.

referendum does not succeed this time, it will come back.

:16:09.:16:14.

ABC in Australia has made documentaries on the referendum.

:16:15.:16:18.

This correspondent was born in Uddingston but left in the nineteen

:16:19.:16:22.

nineties. I think Australians like the idea

:16:23.:16:26.

that Scotland might reject the English. There is such a rivalry

:16:27.:16:29.

between Australia and England in sport, the Australians love to call

:16:30.:16:36.

the English the palms. There is nothing more exciting for the

:16:37.:16:39.

Israeli and Zanon England - Australia sporting match. -- nothing

:16:40.:16:54.

more exciting for the Australians. The world's gaze has not left

:16:55.:17:00.

Scotland. We are still watching and waiting to see how we will vote.

:17:01.:17:03.

It was once voted Scotland's most important work of art.

:17:04.:17:06.

Yet Little Sparta, a sculpture garden in the Pentland Hills, is one

:17:07.:17:09.

It is in the middle of the countryside and you have to walk

:17:10.:17:25.

along path to get their. It feels like a pilgrimage, which is apt for

:17:26.:17:29.

one of the most special gardens in Scotland. Little Sparta is a six and

:17:30.:17:34.

a half acre garden containing almost 300 artworks. It was created by Ian

:17:35.:17:39.

Hamilton Finlay lived here until his death in 2006.

:17:40.:17:44.

One of the things important to Scottish art is the sense of culture

:17:45.:17:48.

in place. The landscape here is incredible in terms of how he

:17:49.:17:52.

interpreted and took universal themes, classical themes, themes of

:17:53.:17:56.

war, and put it in a specific place.

:17:57.:18:01.

Until recently Little Sparta has been run by a trust with limited

:18:02.:18:06.

access to preserve the artworks and the solitude. But now there has been

:18:07.:18:12.

a partnership to boost its profile and visitor numbers.

:18:13.:18:16.

I think more people to come and enjoy. It is perhaps too little

:18:17.:18:21.

known in Scotland. But you are right, it is a fragile place, and we

:18:22.:18:24.

could not have thousands and thousands of visitors, and we need

:18:25.:18:28.

to protect it. They are convinced little Sparta

:18:29.:18:32.

could be an international attraction without visiting in person.

:18:33.:18:37.

There are other ways in the world we live in today promoting the garden

:18:38.:18:42.

and its history. Through the web, through publication, and through

:18:43.:18:48.

very carefully managed visits. The new partnership hoped to draw up

:18:49.:18:52.

plans for the site shortly, and begin fundraising to share this

:18:53.:18:54.

garden of the lights with a worldwide audience.

:18:55.:18:58.

The former Celtic favourite Murdo Macleod believes a lack

:18:59.:19:04.

of investment in the team has cost the Parkhead club a place

:19:05.:19:07.

Celtic lost 2-nil to Polish side Legia Warsaw

:19:08.:19:14.

at Murrayfield last night to bow out of the tournament 6-1 on aggregate.

:19:15.:19:17.

That means they will now need to negotiate a play-off to get

:19:18.:19:20.

Trailing from the first leg it would oldies be tough for Celtic, but

:19:21.:19:32.

their opponents killed the tie before half-time. One former Celtic

:19:33.:19:36.

star believes no big-name signings prior to the qualifiers was a gamble

:19:37.:19:42.

too far. No Champions League, they have lost

:19:43.:19:46.

their ?10 million they have had for the last few years, so they will be

:19:47.:19:50.

really disappointed. They will be looking at themselves and saying,

:19:51.:19:53.

perhaps they should have moved quicker.

:19:54.:19:58.

In the last two seasons Celtic reap the benefits of progress in the

:19:59.:20:03.

Champions League. Celtic and eight ?18.8 million in season 2012. Even

:20:04.:20:14.

if they qualify for the Europa League, they will be lucky to earn

:20:15.:20:19.

?2 million from the competition. It is devastating, but we have to

:20:20.:20:24.

pick ourselves up quickly. Questions will be asked of the new

:20:25.:20:26.

manager after Celtic bowed out without a fight.

:20:27.:20:32.

We have a big job to do to improve as a team. We can win the league,

:20:33.:20:39.

and get into the Europa League, that is a good achievement for us.

:20:40.:20:43.

He said he wanted to rebuild the Celtic team. I don't think it needed

:20:44.:20:48.

rebuilding, it needed one or two quality players added to the squad.

:20:49.:20:54.

One way they could recoup some of that lost revenue is selling top

:20:55.:20:55.

stars like goalkeeper. St Johnstone are in Slovakia for the

:20:56.:20:59.

second leg of their Europa league The Saints trailing two one

:21:00.:21:02.

from the first leg. The latest score early

:21:03.:21:06.

in the first half of tonight's match Now, a look at what else is

:21:07.:21:12.

happening across Scottish sport. Use for their manager says they need

:21:13.:21:34.

to do to save the Thai. We need to try to get on the front

:21:35.:21:40.

foot and cause them problems. And there is coverage of the

:21:41.:21:45.

Aberdeen and St Johnstone matches on radio Scotland.

:21:46.:21:54.

The Finland international has re-signed for kill manic. He has

:21:55.:21:57.

committed himself for the coming season.

:21:58.:22:02.

Inverness say they have had no contact from an English club about

:22:03.:22:08.

selling the striker Mackay, who they do not want to sell anyway.

:22:09.:22:15.

Billy Mackay will be in the starting 11 come Saturday.

:22:16.:22:26.

Andy Murray plays in the third round tonight. You can keep up-to-date

:22:27.:22:33.

with that and all the stories on the website.

Scotland's gold medallist swimmer Hannah Miley says the Glasgow Games

:22:34.:22:35.

have given her "a massive confidence booster" ahead of the Rio Olympics,

:22:36.:22:38.

but the 24-year-old won?t commit to defending her title at the Gold

:22:39.:22:50.

It wasn't just winning the gold medal, it was the manner of the

:22:51.:22:55.

victory that has given Hannah Miley all the desire she needs to continue

:22:56.:23:01.

with her international career. The other big is in my side. This

:23:02.:23:05.

has given me a huge confidence booster. This has given me a

:23:06.:23:12.

breakthrough swim. I take my career in two year blocks, so I have to

:23:13.:23:16.

wait and see what happens after the Olympics. But who doesn't love

:23:17.:23:22.

Australia? At the next Commonwealth Games team

:23:23.:23:25.

Scotland has a hard act to follow. How does Scottish sport Bild the

:23:26.:23:31.

future? It is an opportunity, and the

:23:32.:23:34.

governing bodies will try to use it to their advantage. You have to

:23:35.:23:38.

grasp the iron while it is hard and make the most of it, because it will

:23:39.:23:42.

fade away and then the legacy will not be created. Coming back again,

:23:43.:23:51.

on the 20th of September for a Scottish gas swim. Hopefully it will

:23:52.:23:54.

be decked up for that event and encourage the public to come and

:23:55.:23:57.

swim in the same what are these champions swam in.

:23:58.:24:04.

So the message is clear from at least one gold medallist - the

:24:05.:24:07.

legacy will be lost if action is not taken.

:24:08.:24:10.

This week we've been remembering the men and women who fought

:24:11.:24:13.

But they weren't the only ones who served.

:24:14.:24:17.

For the first time, the British Army used dogs on the battlefield

:24:18.:24:27.

100 years ago as workloads gathered, dogs like these were being trained

:24:28.:24:34.

on this beach for a much more serious purpose. The soldier was

:24:35.:24:41.

living in Carnoustie in the years before World War I. He believed your

:24:42.:24:44.

deals have the right character for military service.

:24:45.:24:50.

They are very determined and single-minded. The go for what they

:24:51.:24:55.

want and there is no stopping them. That is the characteristic that is

:24:56.:24:58.

attractive to some people and not so attractive to others.

:24:59.:25:03.

The military and other countries such as France and Germany were

:25:04.:25:06.

already using dogs in a variety of roles. Eventually British high

:25:07.:25:13.

command were convinced that dogs had a role to play as messengers,

:25:14.:25:16.

carrying vital communications along the front line.

:25:17.:25:22.

Richardson also trained dogs as ambulance dogs to go into the field

:25:23.:25:27.

and find a wounded. In training here, each of the dogs carried a

:25:28.:25:32.

small bottle of spirits around their necks, and it is said those little

:25:33.:25:38.

bottles needed constant refilling. Some of the dogs even had their own

:25:39.:25:43.

gas masks, and it was dangerous work on the front line.

:25:44.:25:46.

There was one year deal who was shot in the job and his leg, went through

:25:47.:25:53.

the trenches, past the message over, and then drop dead. That is the

:25:54.:26:00.

determination of these dogs. Dogs have continued to play a role

:26:01.:26:05.

ever since. Their services also been remembered on this anniversary.

:26:06.:26:09.

As the weekend approaches, let's see how the weather is shaping up.

:26:10.:26:11.

Some sunshine around this afternoon. And some late evening

:26:12.:26:25.

sunshine across most parts of the country.

:26:26.:26:38.

A further feed of showers to come in the early hours. Things a touch

:26:39.:26:47.

cooler in the countryside. Perhaps a rumble of thunder or two in the

:26:48.:26:54.

West. And things will cloud over as we head into the afternoon. By

:26:55.:27:01.

mid-afternoon, in Lanarkshire and the Borders, the Lothian 's and

:27:02.:27:07.

five, expect a few showers. In the West those showers will be with us

:27:08.:27:11.

for a large part of the day. We might not reach Glasgow, Phil. As we

:27:12.:27:18.

head into the rest of the evening, those showers make their way for the

:27:19.:27:23.

eastwards. Some pretty torrential downpours to be had. Things look OK

:27:24.:27:29.

on Saturday, pleasant temperatures, light winds. And here I should issue

:27:30.:27:39.

a warning. We have a deep area of low pressure out to the east. It is

:27:40.:27:46.

pushing north between us and Scandinavia. It is offshore, so its

:27:47.:27:51.

position is questionable, and its position will mean the difference

:27:52.:27:55.

between a dry day and a wet day for the east. This area of low pressure

:27:56.:28:02.

pushing into the South of England is the remains of a hurricane, no

:28:03.:28:05.

longer a hurricane, but still wet and windy.

:28:06.:28:13.

I'll be back with the headlines at 8pm and the late bulletin just

:28:14.:28:19.
