relatives of those who died in the bombing have bidded to reopen the

:01:09.:01:17.

case and have suggested a posthumous appeal because they believe he

suffered a miscarriage of justice. The appeals commissioner has looked

:01:22.:01:26.

at the request but the advice from the High Court would that it would

not be competent for the victims relatives to trigger such appeal but

the appeal was backed by members of his family. They have concluded that

the Megrahi family are not really willing to cooperate. Jim Swire says

it is a tragedy. We await to hear from prosecutors if their request

of 20,000 refugees will come to the UK from camps

in the Middle East. 2,000 of those will settle here,

:02:31.:02:33.

and around 350 of them should Scotland has been more organised

than other parts of the UK. It is a great symbol

:02:36.:02:40.

of our compassion that although we only make up 10%

:02:41.:02:42.

of the UK population, we are due to take one third of the refugees that

arrive before Christmas. Credit to our local authorities

for working so diligently and for the public services and

has one flight scheduled to arrive at Glasgow International late

in the evening. Several hundred Scots were stranded

after flights were suspended amid fears that a bomb may have caused a

Russian passenger jet flying - from the resort -

to crash on Saturday. Nicola Sturgeon told Holyrood that

the Scottish government's resilience committee had met

:03:21.:03:23.

to discuss the situation. There are, we understand, around

20,000 British National is in Sharm el-Sheikh and we estimate that

several hundred of these are Scots. We have been in touch with Thomson

of primary school now get free school meals, but ironically,

:05:00.:05:05.

that means many schools have cut back on providing free fruit

:05:06.:05:07.

and vegetables during snack times. Last year, Inverclyde was one

:05:08.:05:09.

of 16 providing free fruit. But by this year, it was one

:05:10.:05:17.

of just 11 still offering it. I like apples and bananas

:05:18.:05:20.

and grapes. The largest organisation

:05:21.:05:25.

goals to one in tonight's crucial Europa League match against the

Norwegian side Molde at Parkhead. They remain at the bottom

on two points. But, as Chris McLaughlin reports,

they're not out The mist and rain around Celtic Park

:06:41.:06:54.

is a reflection of the doom and gloom here after a miserable

European night. Expectations were high. Celtic domestic Lee are doing

well but in the end the Norwegian champions are too strong. It started

well for Celtic with girls being disallowed for offside. Questions

about the defence when Celtic went behind. A sending off late on

Scots across the country have been of firework displays both private

and public. In Aberdeen several thousand wrapped

Queen 's Rangers go. Wet underfoot but mild and murky. Tomorrow

:08:21.:08:27.

morning, the rain already into the south-west. Further east, not quite

as wet but still damp and a bit bank at times. But mild. The breeze

:08:39.:08:45.

picking from the south. Some fairly murky for Shetland. The rain sweeps

:08:46.:08:53.

across the country. A wet and windy day. The wind strongly from the

south. You can see the weather front stretching from Stornoway down

:09:01.:09:04.

towards Kent. Something brighter for the West Country into Wales and

Remembrance Sunday, a disturbed pattern. A brief ridge of something,

:09:31.:09:37.

but on Monday another system arrives. Next week it will be pretty

unsettled. All due to the jet stream coming in from the south-west. Those

lows are winding up and it could be very wet and windy at times.
