:00:00. > :00:07.Right now in Westminster, MPs are debating whether to bomb
:00:08. > :00:15.All but two Scots members are expected to vote against action.
:00:16. > :00:18.Typhoons at RAF Lossiemouth could leave for the Middle East tonight,

:00:40. > :01:00.It's the most important decision we entrust to the people we elect -
:01:01. > :01:03.whether or not to take military action.
:01:04. > :01:05.At Westminster, that decision-making is under way.
:01:06. > :01:08.Should Britain take part in airstrikes against so-called
:01:09. > :01:13.Critics of airstrikes are cross-party but include
:01:14. > :01:21.If the vote is carried, those jets would leave from Lossiemouth.
:01:22. > :01:30.We'll hear from our reporter there in a moment.
:01:31. > :01:36.Looking there now, it suggests that the jets are already being prepared.
:01:37. > :01:51.First, our political correspondent. In one parliament, calls for peace,
:01:52. > :01:56.a staunch opposition at Holyrood to British air strikes in Syria against
:01:57. > :02:02.so-called Islamic State. In another Parliament, hundreds of miles away,
:02:03. > :02:06.a call to arms. The debate on air strikes was scheduled to ten hours,
:02:07. > :02:11.not long enough for some. Every member of Parliament in this house
:02:12. > :02:15.has the right to represent their constituents on an issue of such
:02:16. > :02:22.importance, and our constituents have the right to listen to their
:02:23. > :02:27.MPs. The Prime Minister pressed on, describing IS, or Daesh, as a
:02:28. > :02:31.fundamental threat to Britain. Do we work with our allies to degrade and
:02:32. > :02:35.destroy this threat and though we do -- do we go after these terrorists
:02:36. > :02:42.from their heartlands, or do we sit back and wait for them to attack us?
:02:43. > :02:47.A hard choice for MPs but taking action is necessary for many. We
:02:48. > :02:52.have seen the events in Paris, in Beirut, in Sharm el-Sheikh in recent
:02:53. > :02:56.weeks. We have seen the flow of refugees coming from that civil war
:02:57. > :03:02.in Syria. This is one part of what needs to be done to bring security
:03:03. > :03:07.to that region and end that threat to us. The Labour leader isn't
:03:08. > :03:13.supporting the Prime Minister's 's position but some of his MPs are. As
:03:14. > :03:18.the party splits, Scotland's only Labour MP is taking Jeremy Corbyn's
:03:19. > :03:22.line. I won't be supporting the government. I appreciate we are
:03:23. > :03:26.involved in air strikes in Iraq but one reason why that was successful
:03:27. > :03:31.is because of the ground troops and I have significant doubts that these
:03:32. > :03:36.70,003 Syrian army troops exist. This issue has been a serious
:03:37. > :03:38.sticking point for the SNP. The case for action has not been made, they
:03:39. > :03:44.sticking point for the SNP. The case say. We party's Westminster leader
:03:45. > :03:49.also highlighted what he as another fundamental issue. The UK Government
:03:50. > :03:53.is going to have a huge problem with legitimacy and mandate for this
:03:54. > :03:59.operation in Scotland. It may well win the vote tonight, but it will do
:04:00. > :04:05.so with the support of only two macro out of 59 Scottish MPs. Mr
:04:06. > :04:09.Robertson also pointed out that, if there is to be action, most of the
:04:10. > :04:15.aircraft deployed to the region will be from here, Lossiemouth, in his
:04:16. > :04:18.constituency. Despite the party's opposition, he sent a message to the
:04:19. > :04:24.Armed Forces saying that he wished for their safety. Back here, the
:04:25. > :04:28.debate goes on. The arithmetic seems to stack up for the Prime Minister,
:04:29. > :04:36.as MPs take difficult decisions about war and peace.
:04:37. > :04:38.Craig, there are suggestions the jets are already being readied
:04:39. > :04:54.Can you tell us any more? Clearly, there has been no confirmation of
:04:55. > :04:59.that from the Ministry of Defence, but it is my understanding that, if
:05:00. > :05:04.the government wins the vote, as we expect, it will be Typhoon jets from
:05:05. > :05:07.RAF Lossiemouth that will be winging their way to the Middle East,
:05:08. > :05:13.possibly within hours of that vote taking place in the early hours of
:05:14. > :05:16.tomorrow morning. The Typhoon jet that is based here is one of the
:05:17. > :05:22.most capable anywhere in the world. It is faster than the older Tornado
:05:23. > :05:28.and it carries the Brimstone missile, capable of hitting a moving
:05:29. > :05:33.target such as a vehicle from seven miles -- several miles away. As we
:05:34. > :05:40.heard in Andrew's report, the MP for this area, ironically, is Angus
:05:41. > :05:46.Robertson, and he is the leader of the SNP at Westminster, but he is
:05:47. > :05:52.one of the main signatories to the Commons motion which has rejected
:05:53. > :05:57.air strikes against Syria. Meanwhile, Scotland's only Liberal
:05:58. > :06:02.Democrat MP, Alistair Carmichael from the northern isles, Orkney and
:06:03. > :06:06.Shetland, says that he will vote in failure -- in favour. We have been
:06:07. > :06:13.finding out what some constituents feel. We should not be bombing. Why
:06:14. > :06:17.not? It is just causing more conflict, more trouble, definitely,
:06:18. > :06:22.by fighting one against the other. It is bad what they are doing and
:06:23. > :06:26.then we are making it worse. Something has to be done with Isis.
:06:27. > :06:32.Sitting back and thinking they are not coming to your door is a
:06:33. > :06:35.mistake. I have looked online and the money we could spend on other
:06:36. > :06:44.things rather than air strikes would seek better results. We could spend
:06:45. > :06:54.it on medical care. If they don't do anything, as Cameron said, when will
:06:55. > :06:59.you take action against them? I firmly agree that now is the time to
:07:00. > :07:04.do it. I don't know if it is the right thing to do but something has
:07:05. > :07:08.to be done. I just don't know. Something has to be done about it
:07:09. > :07:15.but what worries me is that there is no back-up plan for after. We have
:07:16. > :07:24.seen that too often in the last few years. In a further twist of irony,
:07:25. > :07:29.the Typhoon jets based here belong to the quick reaction alert force,
:07:30. > :07:35.the RAF force that patrols the skies around the Scottish coast. Within
:07:36. > :07:38.recent months, it has been responsible for shepherding away
:07:39. > :07:43.Russian warplanes from our skies. If they are sent to the Middle East,
:07:44. > :07:47.they will probably be robbing wings with Russian planes, taking part in
:07:48. > :07:50.the same sort of mission against state one targets as they are.
:07:51. > :07:53.The debate in the Commons has not surprisingly centred on the effect
:07:54. > :07:56.of airstrikes on UK security, but it's also dealt with the effects
:07:57. > :07:59.Our reporter Catriona Renton's been speaking to one Syrian
:08:00. > :08:13.Looking at photos of happier times at home in Syria. This man was a
:08:14. > :08:18.lawyer who came to Glasgow three years ago. His wife and four
:08:19. > :08:27.children followed a year later. He told me he was not safe there. I
:08:28. > :08:33.have to live where I was at the time because my life had become dangerous
:08:34. > :08:38.and I had to live. His 18-year-old son is in the 60 at school but it
:08:39. > :08:45.has not been easy for the family to leave family and friends behind. We
:08:46. > :08:55.used to have a decent life with a house, jobs, my mum and dad had
:08:56. > :09:00.jobs. You know, plus we have the fact that a boy of my age, to move
:09:01. > :09:08.to a new country and for the language and all of that stuff is
:09:09. > :09:13.difficult. My mother is 85 and my brother and sister, my cousins, my
:09:14. > :09:20.friends are still there and I am worried about them.
:09:21. > :09:27.They told me their views on what the UK Parliament is discussing. If they
:09:28. > :09:33.target Isis area, but I am against air strikes if they bomb the
:09:34. > :09:41.civilians by mistake or something. When you do the air strikes, you
:09:42. > :09:45.cannot identify where exactly these terrorist groups are. The family
:09:46. > :09:50.hope for peace in Syria and that one day they can go home. I would like
:09:51. > :09:54.to be an engineer and rebuild my country.
:09:55. > :09:57.Our political correspondent David Porter is in Westminster.
:09:58. > :10:06.David, can you give us a flavour of the Scottish involvement?
:10:07. > :10:14.Without wishing to want to bamboozle you with facts and figures, it is
:10:15. > :10:18.worth remembering that there are 59 Scottish MPs at Westminster. That
:10:19. > :10:23.debate is still going on. It has got about three and a half hours to run.
:10:24. > :10:28.When it comes to voting at 10pm, overwhelmingly, they will vote
:10:29. > :10:34.against, taking and extending military action in Syria. Only two
:10:35. > :10:37.macro MPs, the Scottish Secretary David Mundell and the former
:10:38. > :10:41.Scottish secretary, the Liberal Democrat Alistair Carmichael, will
:10:42. > :10:47.vote with the government. That means that 57 of the 59 MPs at Westminster
:10:48. > :10:52.for Scotland will vote against. It is one issue that, in Scottish
:10:53. > :10:56.terms, links Labour and the SNP, that they will both be voting the
:10:57. > :11:00.same way. The vote will go in favour of the government tonight. There is
:11:01. > :11:05.no doubt about that. But it is going to be very interesting in the days
:11:06. > :11:09.and weeks that come ahead to see what the reaction will be in
:11:10. > :11:13.Scotland to the vote that will take place here. We will have a situation
:11:14. > :11:17.where Scotland's elected representatives are at the odds cars
:11:18. > :11:23.are at odds with the views of their English colleagues. We just saw a
:11:24. > :11:28.scene from what is happening at the Commons. That will be one of the
:11:29. > :11:29.main issues tonight on Scotland 2015. The vote takes place when they
:11:30. > :11:31.are on air. Join the team for reaction
:11:32. > :11:33.and analysis. That's with Shelley Jofre
:11:34. > :11:36.at 10.30pm over on BBC Two. Phil Gormley first joined
:11:37. > :11:41.the police in 1985, rising to become chief constable of Norfolk
:11:42. > :11:46.Constabulary and the deputy director He'll take over from Sir Stephen
:11:47. > :11:51.House as Police Scotland's Chief Here's our home affairs
:11:52. > :12:04.correspondent, Reevel Alderson. I would not have applied for any
:12:05. > :12:09.other Chief Constable job. This is the best you can have. This was two
:12:10. > :12:13.years ago, when Phil Gormley was leading Norfolk. Next month, he
:12:14. > :12:17.takes over as Chief Constable of police Scotland. He has been a
:12:18. > :12:21.police officer for 30 years and has wide experience in a number of
:12:22. > :12:26.policing environments. He began his career in Thames Valley, a mixture
:12:27. > :12:29.of rural and urban policing. He was Deputy Chief Constable of West
:12:30. > :12:33.Midlands and after three years in Norfolk became deputy
:12:34. > :12:37.director-general of the National Crime Agency. It is that breadth of
:12:38. > :12:43.experience in urban and rural policing, along with his experience
:12:44. > :12:46.in the national strategic issues such as serious and organised crime,
:12:47. > :12:52.terrorism and child sexual exploitation, which I understand
:12:53. > :12:55.impress the interview panel at the Scottish police authority. Phil
:12:56. > :13:00.Gormley has never worked in Scotland but the head of the police authority
:13:01. > :13:04.said that should not be a problem. We will give him support to get him
:13:05. > :13:08.up to speed in terms of Scottish issues and the differences between
:13:09. > :13:11.Scotland and the rest of the UK. He is very capable. He has moved around
:13:12. > :13:16.in his career, working in different parts of the UK, so he is used to
:13:17. > :13:22.adapting to local circumstances. I think he will be very good. But the
:13:23. > :13:26.men that Phil Gormley will lead say that he can expect to experience
:13:27. > :13:32.some flak after a series of controversies around police Scotland
:13:33. > :13:35.in recent months. The police service has continued to perform
:13:36. > :13:40.particularly well, despite the challenges it has faced. That being
:13:41. > :13:43.said, of course there is a recognition that bad headlines have
:13:44. > :13:49.caused reputational problems and I am sure Phil Gormley will turn his
:13:50. > :13:52.attention to them. Ministers have welcomed Phil Gormley's appointment
:13:53. > :13:54.and say that they expect he will engage with local communities to
:13:55. > :13:56.drive forward police reform. 24 hours on and the misery
:13:57. > :13:58.for drivers on the One side is still closed,
:13:59. > :14:02.as engineers inspect a defect. Our reporter Morag
:14:03. > :14:04.Kinniburgh joins us now. Any update on what's wrong and
:14:05. > :14:17.when it might be fixed? Traffic has been pretty stop start
:14:18. > :14:21.over the bridge. Big problems on approaches to the bridge during the
:14:22. > :14:25.day. This evening, the bridge operator has said they have found
:14:26. > :14:30.eight sites on the bridge which could have similar problems to the
:14:31. > :14:31.defect found this time yesterday, which has caused so much disruption
:14:32. > :14:41.on a key transport link. A weary journey to work before dawn,
:14:42. > :14:47.traffic restricted to just half the bridge. 70,000 vehicles use this key
:14:48. > :14:52.crossing every weekday. Delays and disruption were significant.
:14:53. > :15:00.Terrible. I came down from Fife and I was stuck for about two hours. I
:15:01. > :15:06.was coming from Edinburgh. I was sitting there for an hour and a
:15:07. > :15:10.half. If you don't know the area, it is a nightmare. Engineers have found
:15:11. > :15:17.a new defect in a steel joined under the roadway. A full inspection was
:15:18. > :15:21.delayed for calm weather. It is a piece of steel that has failed an
:15:22. > :15:28.important structural component, so we can't take chances with safety.
:15:29. > :15:32.We took the precaution of removing the load. When one of Scotland's key
:15:33. > :15:37.transport links partly closes, the impact is significant. There was
:15:38. > :15:43.congestion at other bridges across the Forth, too. It has been very
:15:44. > :15:48.challenging. All of the traffic went income from Flo, one lane in each
:15:49. > :15:53.direction. That takes away more than half of the capacity of the bridge.
:15:54. > :15:57.Engineers will work throughout the night on temporary repairs.
:15:58. > :16:04.The bridge operators have apologised to drivers for the disruption and
:16:05. > :16:08.they have thanked people who have planned their journeys carefully,
:16:09. > :16:13.kept themselves abreast of a developing situation and made
:16:14. > :16:16.alternative arrangements. 24 hours after the disruption began,
:16:17. > :16:20.especially with concerns emerging the signalling that more problems
:16:21. > :16:21.may yet come forward, people are asking how much longer this
:16:22. > :16:24.disruption is going to last. Councils are to be banned
:16:25. > :16:25.from cutting the length The Government is to change
:16:26. > :16:29.the law to make sure primary schools are open for an average
:16:30. > :16:32.of 25 hours a week. A few councils have discussed
:16:33. > :16:34.cutting the time schools are open The move's been welcomed
:16:35. > :16:40.by the largest teachers' union, the EIS, but the council organisation,
:16:41. > :16:42.COSLA, is unhappy about the way A group of burger van owners have
:16:43. > :16:48.won a legal action to overturn a ban on selling snacks to children
:16:49. > :16:53.outside school gates. The business owners took North
:16:54. > :16:56.Lanarkshire Council to court after it set out an exclusion zone for the
:16:57. > :17:00.fast-food vans near its schools. The sheriff ruled
:17:01. > :17:03.the local authority does not have the power to impose this condition
:17:04. > :17:08.on the licences of street traders. The Scottish Parliament is taking
:17:09. > :17:11.legal advice on how to deal with independence supporters who have
:17:12. > :17:15.set up camp at Holyrood. A group calling themselves

:17:23. > :17:27.Parliament's chief executive, Paul Grice, says the protestors do not
:17:28. > :17:34.have permission to occupy the land. The Scottish winter provides
:17:35. > :17:36.particular challenges to The Ambulance Service sees
:17:37. > :17:40.a massive increase in emergency calls over the festive
:17:41. > :17:44.period and has just brought in new winter plans that include specialist
:17:45. > :17:48.teams geared to treat casualties Our reporter, Cameron Buttle,
:17:49. > :18:04.is with them this evening. Well, this is one of the 450
:18:05. > :18:09.ambulances and emergency response vehicles that can be deployed across
:18:10. > :18:12.Scotland. That is the backbone of the Scottish ambulance response
:18:13. > :18:16.winter plan for this winter, which is now operational. What about the
:18:17. > :18:22.casualties in extreme conditions? That is when they will call on the
:18:23. > :18:26.Special Operations Response Team. There are three of them in Scotland,
:18:27. > :18:31.one in Aberdeen, one near Glasgow and one near Edinburgh. They have
:18:32. > :18:40.vehicles like the Polaris Vehicle. This one can go anywhere. That is
:18:41. > :18:44.what it is all about, delivering the specialist paramedic care to
:18:45. > :18:52.wherever they are. They have a forward command vehicle amongst the
:18:53. > :18:56.equipment here. This can be deployed to major incidents. Paramedics do
:18:57. > :19:00.not use body cameras, but someone working with this vehicle can be
:19:01. > :19:07.deployed inside a building and they can show a live picture straight
:19:08. > :19:11.back to the Command Centre here. The cameraman Alan there. We will have a
:19:12. > :19:15.quick glance inside. Robert is operational there, monitoring what
:19:16. > :19:19.we are doing. As well as the live pictures, it can throw up maps or
:19:20. > :19:23.aerial photographs and that can be used for briefing any of the
:19:24. > :19:28.emergency services that attend a major incident. You also have an
:19:29. > :19:33.incident response unit. This unit has been called out today. None of
:19:34. > :19:37.the specialist equipment on board was required to be used. It's full
:19:38. > :19:41.of kit like this, this is for treating multiple casualties in
:19:42. > :19:46.events like a train crash or a coach crash. The SORT is one small part of
:19:47. > :19:52.a large plan that is in place for this winter. Last year, we dealt
:19:53. > :20:01.with 35,600 emergency calls over the festive period. What that has
:20:02. > :20:05.allowed us to do is put in additional staff, put them in
:20:06. > :20:12.specific areas which allows us to create capacity in the 999 emergency
:20:13. > :20:17.system to deal with those calls. Ideally, nobody wants to see this
:20:18. > :20:19.equipment being used so there is some advice this winter - if you
:20:20. > :20:24.need medicine, make sure you have plenty of it. Look after yourself
:20:25. > :20:26.and other people. If you want more advice, try the 111 phone line.
:20:27. > :20:28.Thank you. A look at other stories from
:20:29. > :20:31.across the country. A man swept overboard from a fishing
:20:32. > :20:34.boat off Shetland in February died because the crew didn't know how to
:20:35. > :20:37.rescue him, according to accident Joshua Aryeetey was wearing
:20:38. > :20:42.a life jacket when he was carried The Marine Accident Investigation

:20:57. > :21:02.into their garden this morning. before coming to
:21:03. > :21:11.a halt just feet from their home. Quite a shock this morning when I
:21:12. > :21:13.come out to see, especially the damage that's been done. We have
:21:14. > :21:18.been very lucky. Katie Morag features
:21:19. > :21:20.on this year's official Christmas Some Edinburgh schoolchildren were
:21:21. > :21:24.at Bute House to re-enact the scene from the card, which also features
:21:25. > :21:35.Nicola Sturgeon in a cameo role. I decided the door would be
:21:36. > :21:41.half-open a bit, which would be welcoming and I found myself doing
:21:42. > :21:47.this silhouette of Nicola through into the hallway of Bute House. I
:21:48. > :21:51.thought I don't think she will like that. She loved it!
:21:52. > :21:57.The Rangers manager Mark Warburton says he's in the "right place,
:21:58. > :22:03.right now" in the face of serious interest from Fulham.
:22:04. > :22:05.The English Championship club are keen to make Warburton
:22:06. > :22:06.their new boss, but he says such talk is "disrespectful".

:22:22. > :22:25.well done, he was fending off questions about interest from
:22:26. > :22:32.Fulham. I think it is disrespectful to me, to Rangers, and to a club of
:22:33. > :22:36.Fulham's standards, who I'm sure conduct their business in the right
:22:37. > :22:42.manner. They will be disappointed to hear these rumours, as I am. . I'll
:22:43. > :22:47.answer it one more time. I'm the manager of Rangers Football Club. We
:22:48. > :22:54.are in a good place. I'm in the right place right now. The man on
:22:55. > :22:59.the right decided the Fulham manager was no longer in the right place. He
:23:00. > :23:04.needs a manager to improve on their 13th place in the Championship. A
:23:05. > :23:08.run of four games without a win has left them six points outside the
:23:09. > :23:15.play-off spot. No official approach has been made for Warburton, but
:23:16. > :23:21.results, like last night, is why he is attracting interest. The second
:23:22. > :23:28.half was more to the liking of the Rangers' support. Jason Holt's third
:23:29. > :23:32.goal got them off and running. Martyn Waghorn has 19 for the
:23:33. > :23:36.season, but this might have been his best. There was a third goal for
:23:37. > :23:40.Nathan Oduwa, but Andy Halliday completed the scoring putting
:23:41. > :23:41.Rangers three points clear at the top.
:23:42. > :23:43.Celtic have suspended Anthony Stokes for two weeks after he complained
:23:44. > :23:46.on social media about being left out of the team.
:23:47. > :23:48.The striker watched his team's win over Inverness
:23:49. > :23:51.from the stand on Sunday after tweeting his frustration about being
:23:52. > :23:55.forced to travel to the Highlands despite not being in the squad.
:23:56. > :23:57.Inverness Caledonian Thistle manager John Hughes says he's delighted to
:23:58. > :24:00.have extended his contract by two and a half years and believes
:24:01. > :24:03.Hughes did admit though that he was frustrated
:24:04. > :24:04.at being denied permission to speak with Dundee United
:24:05. > :24:06.when they sought a replacement for Jackie McNamara earlier this
:24:07. > :24:16.Inverness Caley Thistle have retained their man. The challenge
:24:17. > :24:21.for John Hughes is to try to replicate the success they enjoyed
:24:22. > :24:30.last season. Hughes has committed until the summer of 2018. The
:24:31. > :24:35.manager admits he thought the approach from Dundee United could
:24:36. > :24:39.have been handled better. I don't know what we have done over the last
:24:40. > :24:45.few years, if you could get any better. My question is, I'm saying
:24:46. > :24:51.to myself, can we keep moving it forward? 1100%. One former player
:24:52. > :24:55.believes with that deal agreed, the club should be aiming for top six
:24:56. > :25:02.each season and that Hughes requires more funding to boost his squad.
:25:03. > :25:06.They have had long-term injuries, so that is when the club have to back
:25:07. > :25:12.their manager. They have given him a two-year contract. It is time for
:25:13. > :25:16.them to give him the funds that he needs to improve the players that
:25:17. > :25:31.they have got. There is scope to bring one or two in at Christmas
:25:32. > :25:36.time. There is scope to bring Ryan Christie back. With Hughes' future
:25:37. > :25:37.resolved, it seems there is plenty of other business still to be done.
:25:38. > :25:56.That is tonight's sport. Thank you. Our Weather Watcher
:25:57. > :26:01.captured the clear skies down in the Borders. There are a few showers
:26:02. > :26:05.around at the moment. Those clear, however we hold on to a feed of
:26:06. > :26:10.showers across the extreme north and north-west. Elsewhere, the winds are
:26:11. > :26:15.light, the skies are clear, a widespread frost. Towns and cities,
:26:16. > :26:20.temperatures around 0 to 2 Celsius, in the countryside as low as -3 or
:26:21. > :26:24.-4. As you would expect, a chilly start to the day tomorrow, but
:26:25. > :26:28.largely dry. We do have a line of showers drifting inland. Elsewhere,
:26:29. > :26:30.dry with some early sunshine. Cloud increasing through the day. Look to
:26:31. > :26:35.dry with some early sunshine. Cloud the south, we have cloud and rain
:26:36. > :26:38.pushing up from England. And the exact northern extent of that rain
:26:39. > :26:42.is open to some doubt so we could see the rain into the central belt
:26:43. > :26:46.by mid-afternoon. It is causing a few headaches for the forecast. It
:26:47. > :26:49.is one to watch. Further north, it should stay dry, but the cloud will
:26:50. > :26:54.have increased compared to the morning. In the north-west, still a
:26:55. > :26:58.feed of showers here. And the breeze from the west or south-west, but not
:26:59. > :27:09.as strong as tonight. A chilly day for all. That rain just pivots up
:27:10. > :27:13.towards Fife. Then, Friday, and all eyes on this area of deep low
:27:14. > :27:17.pressure up towards Iceland, bringing us a spell of wet and windy
:27:18. > :27:21.weather to end the week. We do have a Met Office yellow be aware early
:27:22. > :27:24.warning in force for the strength of the wind. A milder day on Friday.
:27:25. > :27:27.The wind is coming from the south-west. Rain in the north-west
:27:28. > :27:35.will extend over the country by the evening. It is the wind that is of
:27:36. > :27:40.note. And by evening, gusts of around 60mph for the central belt.
:27:41. > :27:43.If you would like to be a Weather Watcher, all the details are online.
:27:44. > :27:48.Now, a reminder of tonight's main news:
:27:49. > :27:53.In a ten-hour Commons debate on Britain bombing Syria, David Cameron
:27:54. > :27:57.has told MPs that the action will keep the British people safe. The
:27:58. > :28:08.Labour Leader said it would increase the short-term risk of terrorist
:28:09. > :28:11.attacks on Britain. The SNP MP John Nichol son is on his feet now.
:28:12. > :28:13.I'll be back with the headlines at 8.00pm and the late bulletin
:28:14. > :28:17.Until then, from everyone on the team - right across the
