That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
On BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Tonight, on Reporting Scotland - Austerity is not over. | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
As councillors demonstrate outside parliament, | :00:13. | :00:13. | |
John Swinney says the budget set by the Chancellor's spending review | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
Calls for the widening of a government inquiry into child abuse | :00:16. | :00:29. | |
The same paedophile priests are abusing in boarding schools and it | :00:30. | :00:42. | |
is the child that is harmed, not the institution. | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
Scots scientists are working with a new type of matter - which might | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
We look ahead to Celtic's crucial Europa league game against the Dutch | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
I have to say I sleep soundly, so I do. | :00:53. | :01:04. | |
And, the schoolboy whose Alex Salmond impression has made him | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
an internet sensation - and earned him a meeting with the man himself. | :01:07. | :01:21. | |
The Finance Secretary John Swinney has announced a multi-million pound | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
programme to invest in new schools and health centres. | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
But he's under pressure to defend services as he copes with cuts | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
in day to day spending, spelled out by the Chancellor. | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
Also at Holyrood there were angry exchanges over the sharp decline | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
This from our political editor Brian Taylor. | :01:38. | :01:52. | |
Swinney, Swinney, Swinney, out, out, out! Once it was Maggie, now it is | :01:53. | :02:03. | |
John. Swinney, that is, as there are protests at Holyrood, warning | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
against cuts. People will minimise it at the sharp | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
end but by the same token, no matter the service we provide, and we do so | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
to the best of our ability but we cannot continue under the | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
circumstances. But John Swinney says he is out to | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
protect services like these affordable homes and investment to | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
build ten new schools and health centres. | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
It was said that the Chancellor had brought good news with a big | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
increase in capital spending. For years, you have been calling for | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
more money for capital spending. The Chancellor delivered a 14% increase. | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
But John Swinney said that the capital plans pen Seattled for | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
earlier cuts, while the day to day spending was reduced. He is to | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
detail plans in three week, today, the guiding principles. | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
We are establishing a system that is fair and progressive, creating a | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
sustainable economy to ensure opportunities for all within | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
Scotland. Earlier, exchanges over a sharp | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
decline in North Sea oil revenues, Labour claiming that the SNP painted | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
a different picture. It would be bad puff if the | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
Government's had the numbers out by 10% or 20% but the First Minister | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
was out by 6,000% on the money needed to fund our schools, | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
hospitals and pensions. The day after George Osborne's budget, a | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
budget that announced plans to reduce the revenue budget of this | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
Parliament by ?1. 5 billion in real terms over the remainder of this | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
decade, what does Kezia Dugdale come to do? Criticise the Conservatives? | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
No, play politics with the SNP. John Swinney will consultant before | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
presenting his budget on December the 16th. Angus rob set earthson was | :04:07. | :04:27. | |
speaking as the Prime Minister made the case to extend military action | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
to Syria. Here is David Porter. Coaches | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
leaving Glasgow Airport recently, caring some of the 100 refugees, | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
resettled in Scotland. Cities like Aleppo have been almost raised to | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
the ground by the ongoing conflict. Britain has been bombing Isis in | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
Iraq for two years but there is no parliamentary authority to attack | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
them in neighbouring Syria. After the recent events in Paris, the | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
Prime Minister beliefs that should change. That bomb in Paris, that | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
could have been London. If they had their way it would be London. I cab | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
not stand here to say we are safe from the threats, we are not. I | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
cannot say we will remove the threat through the action we take. But do I | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
stand here with advice behind me that taking action is to degrade and | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
reduce that threat over time? Absolutely. Extending RAF operations | :05:28. | :05:35. | |
to severa divides the MPs. Labour and the Conservatives are split on | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
the issue. The SNP is highly sceptical. | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
The Prime Minister asked us to consider his plan. We have listened | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
closely, however, key questions posed by the Foreign Affairs Select | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
Committee remain unanswered. Unless the Prime Minister answers these | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
questions satisfactorily, the Scottish National Party will not | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
vote for air strikes in Syria. Concern among others that air | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
strikes could do more harm than good. | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
We do need to be cautious of the risk of recruitment. The people that | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
bombed London in 2005 and the people who bombed Paris lived here. We will | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
not bomb them out of existence. We know that this may well increase | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
recruitment of extremists here. I don't believe he has answered our | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
questions adequately on issues like ground troops or a long-term rat | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
gichlt further to the comments made, will there be a commitment to appear | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
before the committee to give evidence before a motion comes | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
before the House to approve military action? Ministers are to thing up | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
the Parliament aarithmetic. The UK Government will only call a vote if | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
it is confident it can win. That could come at early as next week. | :06:48. | :06:57. | |
Meanwhile the SNP's international affairs spokesman, Alex Salmond, | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
has faced some criticism for not being in the House of Commons | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
Where was Alex Salmond? It is where he went after Question Time that | :07:03. | :07:19. | |
irritated his critics. At lunch time Alex Salmond was in the Scottish | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
National Portrait Gallery, unveiling a portrait of himself by the artist | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
Gerrard M Burns. The political opponents say that is to put ego | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
ahead of parliamentary duty. Labour say it is ridiculous he was not in | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
the House of Commons as the Prime Minister set out the case for air | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
strikes against so-called Islamic State targets in Syria. The SNP say | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
that the criticism is crass, as within the last hour here at | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
Holyrood Alex Salmond has been hosting a reception for war | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
veterans. They say he spent much of the day in this Parliament | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
representing his constituents. Remember he is both an MSP and an | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
MP. The nationalists also make clear if | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
and when there is to be a vote on military action in Syria, Alex | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
Salmond will be in his place in the House of Commons and will make his | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
views heard. Glenn many thanks. | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
Still to come on the The world premiere of a new opera - | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
sung in Shetland dialect . we're live at Celtic Park | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
in the countdown to tonight's Europa And we're off court and | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
on camera with the Murray brothers Pressure is mounting on the Scottish | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
government to widen the scope of the inquiry it announced | :08:40. | :08:58. | |
a year ago into historical Labour says the inquiry won't be | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
able to investigate many cases of abuse, unlike similar | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
investigations in other countries. Victims' groups are also calling | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
for a compensation scheme, Our Social Affairs Correspondent, | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
Reevel Alderson has this exclusive programme: Government says the | :09:09. | :09:21. | |
inquiry set up to investigate historical allegations of child | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
abuse is the widest ever. So far it has not taken evidence but there are | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
calls for major changes to be made in how it operates. The survivors | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
say that the remit is limited. Abuse carried out in boarding schools will | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
be investigated. Other cases in parishes, day schools or youth | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
organisations will not. Victims say that the Education Secretary, who | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
announced the inquiry must act quickly. | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
The feeling is that it is a cover-up. The same paedophile | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
priests abused children in primary schools and in boarding schools and | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
in residential homes but the children abused by the same | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
paedophiles are not covered. It was the child it that was harmed, not | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
the institution. The survivors organisations are | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
united in demanding a rethink, even though the Government say it is will | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
delay the lengthy process. The Government have the discretion | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
to change the remit that is why we are seeking a meeting with the | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
Education Secretary to get her to change the remit it should not delay | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
it in any way. In the Scottish Parliament, Labour | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
have been meeting survivors and are calling for more to be done to help | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
them while the inquiry goes on. I have written to the Cabinet | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
Secretary to indicate that the survivors seek redress and | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
psychological support and other agency support too. | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
The sooner is delivered, the better. Survivors in Scotland point to the | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
inquiry in Northern Ireland with a wider remit and offers the victims | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
financial redress, in some cases, compensation which is not available | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
here. David's abuse is to be examined by | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
the Scottish inquiry but he says that the government is ignoring the | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
needs of the victims. There is no redress, no financial | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
help, there is still no kind of financial assistance for anything | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
for the victims. In a statement, the Scottish Government said: For the | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
inquiry to reach clear conclusions and recommendations, it must focus | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
on a set remit and time frame. The former Rangers chief executive | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
Charles Green has lost his battle with the club over | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
the payment of his legal fees. Mister Green and a number of others | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
face trial next year after being charged with offences relating to | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
the takeover of the club in 2012. Charles Green argued his contract at | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
Rangers covered all legal expenses relating to his position during | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
and after his time in charge. But a judge at the Court of Session | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
ruled that Rangers don't have to pay Plans for a rail link | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
between Glasgow Airport and A previous proposal was scrapped | :11:59. | :12:08. | |
in 2009. If approved, the link could | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
be operational by 2025. These images showed a vision, a rail | :12:13. | :12:25. | |
ling to take passengers from Glasgow to the airport. It formed a part of | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
the bid for the 2014 Commonwealth Games. But it hit the buffers when | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
scrapped by the Scottish Government in 2009. But today it appears to be | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
back on track because of the city deal, funding for the UK and the | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
Scottish governments. We are committed to this as we have | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
tied down the resource allocation, and irrespective of government views | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
this is an agreed city deal with the partner authorities and we want to | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
deliver the project. Airport bosses is a I that the | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
project presents an exciting opportunity. | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
We are enjoying years of growth here at Glasgow. We are on a trajectory | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
of reaching 10 million passengers by 2020. At other similar sized | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
airports, the rail links are part of the transport mix. | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
Two options are considered, a rail link and a standard train to | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
paisley. The original scheme was halted by the Scottish Government, | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
it said because of UK Government cuts. Today they say: We will be | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
cautious, with the approach, to take stock so we don't have another for | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
example, Edinburgh trams. At the Glasgow airport, do the customers | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
want a rail link? It will speed up the traffic. For me, the shuttle bus | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
from the city centre is good. I think that we are not happy. | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
At the moment the main option to get to Glasgow Airport is by road, | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
whether by taxi, bus or car but if either of the ideas is approved, it | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
could be under construction by 2021. There could be a new rail link for | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
passengers by 2025. And now for something | :14:12. | :14:26. | |
completely different - really. Scientists at Heriot-Watt University | :14:27. | :14:28. | |
are working with an entirely new Spontelectric materials carry | :14:29. | :14:30. | |
a massive electric charge - and could help explain why life | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
exists on Earth. This from our science | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
correspondent Kenneth Macdonald. It is cold in here, cold enough to | :14:36. | :14:45. | |
turn gas into a liquid. But that is just the start. | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
What we have here is the high vacuum chamber. Up the top there we have | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
our refrigerator. They have created a vacuum like that | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
in inter stella space. If you think about the house Holland | :15:01. | :15:09. | |
vacuum cleaner, the pressure in that is about 100th atmosphere eric. We | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
go to 100 billions of atmosphere perric pressure. | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
It is all to create stuff. If the atoms are arranged rebelling Latin | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
America, it can be a crystal like the meltal if is more irregular, | :15:27. | :15:34. | |
then it is like this glass. But what is in there, spont electrics is a | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
new form of solid matter. A gas like carbon monoxide becomes a solid, | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
with massive electric field, more than 100 million volts a metre. | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
Because the conditions in the lab make those like stars are forming it | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
could explain why a sun like our own was the right size to develop life | :16:00. | :16:01. | |
on earth. . We need molecules to help form | :16:02. | :16:10. | |
small stars, without small stars you don't necessarily get stars that | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
live very long and you don't get evolution. | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
Spont electrics was first created in Denmark. Herriot at University is | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
taking them forward. But so far, spont electrics are too small to | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
see. We cannot see them. | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
They are very volatile, we must look at them indirectly. | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
A spin iv off could be better video displays, it could explain why we | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
are all here, intriguingly. Now, think of an opera world | :16:44. | :17:11. | |
premiere and what comes to mind? Perhaps, a night of glamour at | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
La Scala in Milan? The town's playing host to | :17:15. | :17:16. | |
the opening night of "Hirda" - In Opera, but now set in a Shetland | :17:17. | :17:27. | |
held. -- it has all of the common themes of an opera. Shetland is such | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
a vibrant, interesting place with this immense musical language, | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
history, and heritage. The cast has faced the challenge of learning to | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
sing in Shetland dialect. The story of Hirda is set in a modern-day | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
Shetland where a woman has married a sailor on the island. And his | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
brother, Alistair, who has been away for a long time, comes back and | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
create a bit of Hirda, or a bit of chaos. -- creates. It is a bit of a | :17:57. | :18:04. | |
challenge vocally. Because a lot of the sounds we are used to in grand | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
opera I bit more open, a bit more clear to the ear. Whereas, when you | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
sing in dialect, particularly this one, a lot of the vowels are | :18:13. | :18:24. | |
shorter, or colloquial. Being the only native, I get picky about the | :18:25. | :18:36. | |
dialect. But the singers have been incredible. They are picking up this | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
language they often never heard before, let alone spoke before. | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
After denied's premiere in Lerwick, it moves north, to Britain's most | :18:46. | :18:55. | |
northerly island. Who said opera was just for mainland dwellers? | :18:56. | :18:57. | |
Let's get the latest sport now - from David. | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
Yes David, it's not Opera but there will be plenty of singing - mostly | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
in English - at Celtic Park tonight; where the Scottish champions play | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
Defeat for Celtic will end their hopes of reaching | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
the knockout stage - so they have to take something from the match. | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
We can cross to the stadium now where | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
our senior football reporter Chris Mclaughlin is on duty and Chris you | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
Yes, the campaign this season has been like the Glasgow weather, | :19:20. | :19:32. | |
miserable and showing little sign of improvement. I have my usual Celtic | :19:33. | :19:40. | |
Park sidekick. We know that Celtic have some major injury worries, | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
especially in midfield. Four regulars missing. McGregor comes in | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
this evening. How do you see them lining up tonight? I think they will | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
go with the usual back four. The only coming in left back. Rogers | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
will sit in front of the back four. Either side of him will be Armstrong | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
and McGregor and James Forrest, and Leigh Griffiths upfront. But it is a | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
night for young players to step up. They are getting their chance to | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
come out on this arena and perform. It is must win, how do you see it | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
playing out? Ajax normally play expansive football. Celtic will get | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
opportunities. With the rain falling down it could be a night of | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
mistakes. But I expect Celtic to get an opportunity to score. Thanks. | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
Celtic have the festive light up outside the stadium. If they are to | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
have European football after Christmas, though, they must win | :20:41. | :20:42. | |
tonight, David. Thanks very much. | :20:43. | :20:44. | |
There's more from Pat and Chris and full live commentary in | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
BBC Radio Scotland's coverage on 810 medium wave. | :20:48. | :20:48. | |
The Murray brothers, Andy and Jamie, have been confirmed as the doubles | :20:49. | :20:59. | |
pairing which could help Great Britain beat Belgium and win its | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
first Davis Cup title in nearly 80 years. Andy, the world number two, | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
also plays in the singles which start tomorrow. Let's hear from the | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
Murrays and our correspondent who is in Ghent. | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
In one of the prettiest medieval towns of Europe, those hoping that | :21:18. | :21:29. | |
Britain's best chances in tennis could be clinched by the brothers | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
from Dunblane. We mustn't think too much about the size of the occasion, | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
just the maps you are playing. Walking out to represent your | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
country, there will be hairs on the back of the neck standing up. It is | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
an amazing opportunity, we both know that. We want to take advantage. We | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
want to perform the best we can to get the result we want. It hasn't | :21:51. | :22:00. | |
all been serious business. CHUCKLES | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
On the low roof in Ghent, more hijinks. Some of his forehands have | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
ended up in there. CHUCKLES | :22:11. | :22:20. | |
None of us, I don't think. Also in good humour, fans who have travelled | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
despite security fears. We are here, we are quite happy. Since | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
we've arrived we feel more assured. It is one of the biggest prizes in | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
sport. Andy Murray is determined to walk away with it. Belgium, beware. | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
The preparations are complete, the talking can stop, it is time for | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
some tennis. Britain has had won the Davis Cup since 1936. Andy and Jamie | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
Murray hope to change that over the course of this weekend. | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
Glasgow Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend has told his players | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
never to forget how low they felt after losing to Northampton Saints | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
They play Treviso in the Pro Twelve league tomorrow, | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
and Forward Chris Fusaro, that's him with team mate Ryan | :23:04. | :23:05. | |
Grant, says Townsend's words made a real impact in the dressing room. | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
Greg Owen said to us, remember this feeling. Remember the pain that you | :23:13. | :23:20. | |
are feeling now, you never want to feel it again. If you have those | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
feelings you can use them to galvanise the rest of your season. I | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
think it is something we can kick on from. That is tonight's sport. | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
Thank you. Earlier, | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
we heard that the former first minister Alex Salmond was at the | :23:38. | :23:38. | |
unveiling of a painting of himself Well, Mr Salmond was joined | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
at the event by a young boy who's become an internet | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
hit with an uncannily accurate He does like to gesticulate as he | :23:46. | :23:58. | |
delivers a punch line. As he got ready to unveil his portrait at the | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
National Gallery today... Alex Salmond's mannerisms were being | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
closely observed. By none other than Ryan McGuigan, who was invited by | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
the former First Minister to share the limelight after he saw the | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
school boy's impersonation online. By the way, I have heard the | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
scaremongering accusations that the oil is going to run out. It is the | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
most enormous resource in Europe. He has always got the one voice, never | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
changes. It is never too high, never too low. One of the good voices to | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
do. And for a man whose diary often requires him to be in two places at | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
once, next time he might employ his new twin. I now conscious of the | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
hand movement. I apologise to him for standing down as First Minister. | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
I'm not sure his Nicola Sturgeon impression will be as good. Don't | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
worry, Ryan has ideas. Women's voices are difficult to do. But she | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
does this with her head. As if there is a ball and she's doing a header. | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
does this with her head. As if there The latest on tax credits. Alex | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
Salmond... Onward and upward for Ryan McGuigan, who is working on | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
some other choice impressions. But you never know you just never know. | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
I understand that and yes back to you, David, here at the Scottish | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
Parliament, I am Brian Taylor. Thank you very much. He will go far. | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
CHUCKLES Now just before the weather | :25:28. | :25:28. | |
forecast, here's Shelley Joffre Tonight after the Prime Minister put | :25:29. | :25:38. | |
his case to Parliament we will be asking whether British air strikes | :25:39. | :25:40. | |
in Syria would really make a difference. And can the Scottish | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
Government offset bigger than expected cut its Budget in coming | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
years without raising income tax? Join me over on BBC Two at 10:30pm. | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
So let's get the latest weather forecast, from Gillian. | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
It was a day of contrasts across the country. Cloudy for much of the | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
West. Aberdeen was the warmest place in the UK. 15 Celsius, around double | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
what we would expect that this time of year. Big changes to come | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
tomorrow. Much colder air digs in across the country. It is not with | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
us yet. Tonight we stay on the mild side. Cloudy with bits and pieces of | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
rain. Clear skies towards the east coast. Persistent and heavy rain | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
into the Western Isles and the north and west towards morning. | :26:30. | :26:31. | |
Strengthening south-western winds reaching gale force over the | :26:32. | :26:34. | |
northern and western isles and the north-west coast. That band of heavy | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
rain tomorrow sweeps to the east across the country. We have a yellow | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
warning from the Met office in the highlands due to a risk of localised | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
flooding. Clear, colder, but showery conditions into the North West | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
behind that rain band. By three o'clock, still a wet picture that | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
Ayrshire, Dumfries and Galloway, and the Borders, the Lothians, up into | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
five and Angus. It is bright up here but colder. The temperatures fall | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
away the further north and west you go. Strong winds, driving showers, | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
and though shoppers turning increasingly wintry. Tomorrow, we | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
will have snow to about 200 metres to the North. That will take in some | :27:13. | :27:19. | |
of the higher-level roads and combined with a strong winds quite | :27:20. | :27:21. | |
tricky conditions to content with and we could see some icy stretches | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
on the roads tomorrow night. A cold start Saturday. Wintry showers | :27:28. | :27:30. | |
across the North to start the day. Then a band of heavy and persistent | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
rain. But slightly less cold air attached to this one. This will | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
become confined to the hills and mountains. But it is still windy, | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
strong to gale force, and still on the cool side. Temperatures five to | :27:44. | :27:56. | |
northern Scotland -- temperatures between five to seven Celsius. Some | :27:57. | :27:59. | |
potentially very strong winds. That is your forecast. Thanks. | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
Until then, from everyone on the team - right across the | :28:05. | :28:11. |
