:09:22. > :09:26.inquiry set up to investigate historical allegations of child
:09:27. > :09:30.abuse is the widest ever. So far it has not taken evidence but there are
:09:31. > :09:35.calls for major changes to be made in how it operates. The survivors
:09:36. > :09:39.say that the remit is limited. Abuse carried out in boarding schools will
:09:40. > :09:44.be investigated. Other cases in parishes, day schools or youth
:09:45. > :09:47.organisations will not. Victims say that the Education Secretary, who
:09:48. > :09:51.announced the inquiry must act quickly.
:09:52. > :09:56.The feeling is that it is a cover-up. The same paedophile
:09:57. > :10:00.priests abused children in primary schools and in boarding schools and
:10:01. > :10:04.in residential homes but the children abused by the same
:10:05. > :10:09.paedophiles are not covered. It was the child it that was harmed, not
:10:10. > :10:14.the institution. The survivors organisations are
:10:15. > :10:19.united in demanding a rethink, even though the Government say it is will
:10:20. > :10:23.delay the lengthy process. The Government have the discretion
:10:24. > :10:27.to change the remit that is why we are seeking a meeting with the
:10:28. > :10:31.Education Secretary to get her to change the remit it should not delay
:10:32. > :10:34.it in any way. In the Scottish Parliament, Labour
:10:35. > :10:39.have been meeting survivors and are calling for more to be done to help
:10:40. > :10:45.them while the inquiry goes on. I have written to the Cabinet
:10:46. > :10:47.Secretary to indicate that the survivors seek redress and
:10:48. > :10:52.psychological support and other agency support too.
:10:53. > :10:58.The sooner is delivered, the better. Survivors in Scotland point to the
:10:59. > :11:02.inquiry in Northern Ireland with a wider remit and offers the victims
:11:03. > :11:05.financial redress, in some cases, compensation which is not available
:11:06. > :11:10.here. David's abuse is to be examined by
:11:11. > :11:14.the Scottish inquiry but he says that the government is ignoring the
:11:15. > :11:19.needs of the victims. There is no redress, no financial
:11:20. > :11:24.help, there is still no kind of financial assistance for anything
:11:25. > :11:29.for the victims. In a statement, the Scottish Government said: For the
:11:30. > :11:31.inquiry to reach clear conclusions and recommendations, it must focus
:11:32. > :11:38.on a set remit and time frame. The former Rangers chief executive

:12:35. > :12:40.scrapped by the Scottish Government in 2009. But today it appears to be
:12:41. > :12:44.back on track because of the city deal, funding for the UK and the

:13:38. > :13:43.cautious, with the approach, to take stock so we don't have another for
:13:44. > :13:47.example, Edinburgh trams. At the Glasgow airport, do the customers
:13:48. > :13:54.want a rail link? It will speed up the traffic. For me, the shuttle bus
:13:55. > :13:58.from the city centre is good. I think that we are not happy.
:13:59. > :14:03.At the moment the main option to get to Glasgow Airport is by road,
:14:04. > :14:09.whether by taxi, bus or car but if either of the ideas is approved, it
:14:10. > :14:11.could be under construction by 2021. There could be a new rail link for
:14:12. > :14:26.passengers by 2025. And now for something
:14:27. > :14:28.completely different - really. Scientists at Heriot-Watt University

:14:36. > :14:45.correspondent Kenneth Macdonald. It is cold in here, cold enough to
:14:46. > :14:50.turn gas into a liquid. But that is just the start.
:14:51. > :14:55.What we have here is the high vacuum chamber. Up the top there we have
:14:56. > :15:00.our refrigerator. They have created a vacuum like that
:15:01. > :15:09.in inter stella space. If you think about the house Holland
:15:10. > :15:16.vacuum cleaner, the pressure in that is about 100th atmosphere eric. We

:18:05. > :18:08.challenge vocally. Because a lot of the sounds we are used to in grand
:18:09. > :18:12.opera I bit more open, a bit more clear to the ear. Whereas, when you
:18:13. > :18:24.sing in dialect, particularly this one, a lot of the vowels are
:18:25. > :18:36.shorter, or colloquial. Being the only native, I get picky about the
:18:37. > :18:39.dialect. But the singers have been incredible. They are picking up this

:18:46. > :18:55.After denied's premiere in Lerwick, it moves north, to Britain's most

:23:27. > :23:30.feelings you can use them to galvanise the rest of your season. I
:23:31. > :23:34.think it is something we can kick on from. That is tonight's sport.
:23:35. > :23:37.Thank you. Earlier,
:23:38. > :23:38.we heard that the former first minister Alex Salmond was at the
:23:39. > :23:41.unveiling of a painting of himself Well, Mr Salmond was joined

:23:46. > :23:58.hit with an uncannily accurate He does like to gesticulate as he
:23:59. > :24:04.delivers a punch line. As he got ready to unveil his portrait at the
:24:05. > :24:09.National Gallery today... Alex Salmond's mannerisms were being
:24:10. > :24:13.closely observed. By none other than Ryan McGuigan, who was invited by
:24:14. > :24:17.the former First Minister to share the limelight after he saw the
:24:18. > :24:22.school boy's impersonation online. By the way, I have heard the

:24:43. > :24:47.once, next time he might employ his new twin. I now conscious of the
:24:48. > :24:53.hand movement. I apologise to him for standing down as First Minister.
:24:54. > :24:58.I'm not sure his Nicola Sturgeon impression will be as good. Don't
:24:59. > :25:02.worry, Ryan has ideas. Women's voices are difficult to do. But she

:25:07. > :25:09.does this with her head. As if there The latest on tax credits. Alex
:25:10. > :25:13.Salmond... Onward and upward for Ryan McGuigan, who is working on
:25:14. > :25:20.some other choice impressions. But you never know you just never know.
:25:21. > :25:24.I understand that and yes back to you, David, here at the Scottish
:25:25. > :25:27.Parliament, I am Brian Taylor. Thank you very much. He will go far.

:25:29. > :25:38.forecast, here's Shelley Joffre Tonight after the Prime Minister put
:25:39. > :25:40.his case to Parliament we will be asking whether British air strikes
:25:41. > :25:45.in Syria would really make a difference. And can the Scottish
:25:46. > :25:50.Government offset bigger than expected cut its Budget in coming
:25:51. > :25:53.years without raising income tax? Join me over on BBC Two at 10:30pm.
:25:54. > :26:00.So let's get the latest weather forecast, from Gillian.
:26:01. > :26:05.It was a day of contrasts across the country. Cloudy for much of the
:26:06. > :26:11.West. Aberdeen was the warmest place in the UK. 15 Celsius, around double
:26:12. > :26:15.what we would expect that this time of year. Big changes to come
:26:16. > :26:20.tomorrow. Much colder air digs in across the country. It is not with
:26:21. > :26:24.us yet. Tonight we stay on the mild side. Cloudy with bits and pieces of
:26:25. > :26:29.rain. Clear skies towards the east coast. Persistent and heavy rain
:26:30. > :26:31.into the Western Isles and the north and west towards morning.
:26:32. > :26:34.Strengthening south-western winds reaching gale force over the
:26:35. > :26:39.northern and western isles and the north-west coast. That band of heavy
:26:40. > :26:42.rain tomorrow sweeps to the east across the country. We have a yellow
:26:43. > :26:47.warning from the Met office in the highlands due to a risk of localised
:26:48. > :26:51.flooding. Clear, colder, but showery conditions into the North West
:26:52. > :26:54.behind that rain band. By three o'clock, still a wet picture that
:26:55. > :27:01.Ayrshire, Dumfries and Galloway, and the Borders, the Lothians, up into
:27:02. > :27:05.five and Angus. It is bright up here but colder. The temperatures fall
:27:06. > :27:09.away the further north and west you go. Strong winds, driving showers,
:27:10. > :27:12.and though shoppers turning increasingly wintry. Tomorrow, we
:27:13. > :27:19.will have snow to about 200 metres to the North. That will take in some
:27:20. > :27:21.of the higher-level roads and combined with a strong winds quite
:27:22. > :27:27.tricky conditions to content with and we could see some icy stretches
:27:28. > :27:30.on the roads tomorrow night. A cold start Saturday. Wintry showers
:27:31. > :27:35.across the North to start the day. Then a band of heavy and persistent
:27:36. > :27:39.rain. But slightly less cold air attached to this one. This will
:27:40. > :27:43.become confined to the hills and mountains. But it is still windy,
:27:44. > :27:56.strong to gale force, and still on the cool side. Temperatures five to
:27:57. > :27:59.northern Scotland -- temperatures between five to seven Celsius. Some
:28:00. > :28:04.potentially very strong winds. That is your forecast. Thanks.
:28:05. > :28:11.Until then, from everyone on the team - right across the
