:00:08. > :00:10.the tragedy could have been prevented if driver Harry Clarke
:00:11. > :00:25.hadn't lied Actually the accident could have
:00:26. > :00:28.been avoided. We were told all the way down the line that it could not
:00:29. > :00:29.have been avoided. That is quite shocking really.

:01:20. > :01:24.The family of three people who died in the Glasgow bin lorry crash have
:01:25. > :01:28.tonight said they're beginning a private prosecution
:01:29. > :01:33.It comes on the day the findings of an inquiry
:01:34. > :01:36.It found the crash could have been avoided
:01:37. > :01:41.if Mr Clarke had told the truth about his history of blackouts.
:01:42. > :01:44.Six people died and 15 others were injured when the council vehicle ran
:01:45. > :01:49.out of control in the city centre just before Christmas last year.
:01:50. > :02:04.It was three days before Christmas am the pavements were busy with
:02:05. > :02:13.pedestrians. The bin lorries smashed into a hotel. Six people died. Erin
:02:14. > :02:19.McQuaid, her grandparents, Stefanie Tait, Gillian Ewing and Jacqueline
:02:20. > :02:23.Morton. 15 people were also injured. The driver, Harry Clarke, had a
:02:24. > :02:28.history of blackouts. He collapsed unconscious at the wheel. When he
:02:29. > :02:33.was led from the vehicle he said he could not remember what had
:02:34. > :02:37.happened. Sheriff John Beckett QC, who conducted the fatal accident
:02:38. > :02:40.inquiry, said Harry Clarke had deliberately misled doctors about
:02:41. > :02:45.his medical history and repeatedly lied to the DVLA, GPs and as
:02:46. > :02:49.employers to get his driving licence and keep it. Gillian Ewing was
:02:50. > :02:52.Christmas shopping with her daughter when she was killed. She and her
:02:53. > :02:59.sister came to court to hear the evidence. It was just absolutely
:03:00. > :03:04.unbelievable that this guy was still able to be driving anything, never
:03:05. > :03:12.mind a 26 tonne bin lorry. The inquiry uncovered a paper trail of
:03:13. > :03:18.Harry Clarke's dishonesty about his fitness to drive. It was the entire
:03:19. > :03:22.medical history that came out. I remember they were talking about
:03:23. > :03:29.episodes of stress and dizziness dating back from the late 1970s. If
:03:30. > :03:35.you have had that many episodes of fainting or dizziness, it beggars
:03:36. > :03:39.belief, to be honest, that someone is able to still drive. The sheriff
:03:40. > :03:44.said there were reasonable precautions that could have been
:03:45. > :03:49.taken to avoid the accident. Marie Wetherall was seriously injured and
:03:50. > :03:53.spent weeks in hospital. It appears from the report that actually the
:03:54. > :03:56.accident could have been avoided, whereas we had been told all the way
:03:57. > :04:01.down the line that it could not have been avoided. That is quite
:04:02. > :04:07.shocking, really. Harry Clarke did not answer many of the questions
:04:08. > :04:10.during evidence as this could prejudice any future prosecution.
:04:11. > :04:13.Tonight the family of Erin McQuaid and Jack and Lorraine Sweeney have
:04:14. > :04:19.instructed their solicitor to begin a private prosecution against him.
:04:20. > :04:22.The Secretary of State for Transport should look into changing the law
:04:23. > :04:26.for people applying for driving licences and increase penalties for
:04:27. > :04:31.those who failed to disclose information. And doctors should have
:04:32. > :04:37.greater freedom to report concerns to the DVLA. The lawyer representing
:04:38. > :04:42.the family of Stefanie Tait said today's determination is a missed
:04:43. > :04:45.opportunity. The family feel that the public are not being
:04:46. > :04:50.sufficiently protected against the likes of Harry Clarke. And they ask
:04:51. > :04:53.the question again, how was it that somebody like Harry Clarke was able
:04:54. > :04:58.to slip through every net with complete impunity? We are not
:04:59. > :05:04.entirely sure that what is being recommended here will prevent that.
:05:05. > :05:08.At the time of the crash Harry Clarke was working for Glasgow City
:05:09. > :05:13.Council. The sheriff made recommendations about their
:05:14. > :05:16.recruitment and training. We will make the changes necessary to avoid
:05:17. > :05:19.this happening in the future. The report highlighted a lot of these
:05:20. > :05:24.problems were caused by the driver not telling the truth. We will make
:05:25. > :05:28.changes to our recruitment processes. As the first anniversary
:05:29. > :05:31.of the tragedy approaches, this is a difficult time for the families,
:05:32. > :05:33.many of whom are still left wanting answers.
:05:34. > :05:35.Catriona Renton is in George Square in Glasgow for us
:05:36. > :05:38.tonight. Catriona, what are the prospects, then, of Harry Clarke
:05:39. > :05:45.being prosecuted for what happened there?
:05:46. > :05:54.In just over two weeks, it will be exactly a US since the tragedy. The
:05:55. > :05:57.fatal accident inquiry has reported back quickly. Often it can take
:05:58. > :06:02.years for these sort of enquiries to happen. There has been an ongoing
:06:03. > :06:06.controversy about whether the Crown should have taken this action or
:06:07. > :06:10.whether they should have looked to criminally prosecute Harry Clarke.
:06:11. > :06:14.The Crown has repeatedly said and reiterated today in a statement that
:06:15. > :06:19.there was insufficient evidence in criminal law to prosecute the driver
:06:20. > :06:22.for the tragic deaths. They say there are no findings in the
:06:23. > :06:29.determination that undermine their decision not to prosecute Harry
:06:30. > :06:32.Clarke. However, the families of Erin McQuaid and Jack and Lorraine
:06:33. > :06:39.Sweeney believes the Crown is wrong. And they believe the sheriff appears
:06:40. > :06:43.to agree with them, that there was a wilful failure on the part of Harry
:06:44. > :06:49.Clarke to disclose information about himself to the DVLA, and they say
:06:50. > :06:53.they have now instructed their solicitor to commence a private
:06:54. > :06:58.prosecution against him. Today he has written to the Lord Advocate,
:06:59. > :07:00.Frank Mulholland, and the Justice Secretary, Michael Matheson, family
:07:01. > :07:03.hope they will get a response soon. The operators of the
:07:04. > :07:06.Forth Road Bridge say engineers are working around the clock on repairs,
:07:07. > :07:10.as travellers cope with The Transport Minister,
:07:11. > :07:15.Derek Mackay, says he believes the repairs will be completed
:07:16. > :07:19.by the beginning of January. Thousands of extra seats have been
:07:20. > :07:22.made available on trains from Fife to Edinburgh, but there were still
:07:23. > :07:40.long tailbacks on roads. Rush hour at Inverkeithing station.
:07:41. > :07:44.Busy platforms, busy trains as the roadways helped to take the strain
:07:45. > :07:47.of the bridge closure. Extra carriages and staff were drafted
:07:48. > :07:56.in, making a difference, according to passengers. I got a seat. It was
:07:57. > :08:06.fine. It was on time. Things were a bit busier. Difficult to get a seat.
:08:07. > :08:11.Getting up earlier. A priority lane was designed to keep people moving
:08:12. > :08:19.while encouraging people onto public transport. Ulcers, we are told, were
:08:20. > :08:21.quicker than expected. -- bosses. Car driving was a snail-like
:08:22. > :08:29.procession to eventually cross the river. Already that is bad for this
:08:30. > :08:36.man's business. A farmer with a sideline in delivering firewood. The
:08:37. > :08:38.state agriculture is in in a minute, we have been encouraged to
:08:39. > :08:46.diversify. That is what we have done. We have spent a lot of money
:08:47. > :08:53.on equipment. Our business is curtailed through no fault of our
:08:54. > :08:59.own. John is considering night-time deliveries, a small part of a much
:09:00. > :09:03.larger economic headache. If we had not taken the decision to close the
:09:04. > :09:06.bridge, the further structural damage could have led to a much
:09:07. > :09:12.longer closure and would have been much more damaging to the economy.
:09:13. > :09:15.Therefore, closing the bridge is the right decision, so we can carry out
:09:16. > :09:19.the repairs and open it as quickly as possible. Which hinders on the
:09:20. > :09:22.work of the engineers dangling above the River Forth, whose weekend
:09:23. > :09:27.inspections were hampered by the weather. The timetable has been
:09:28. > :09:31.questioned, but the Scottish government insist things are
:09:32. > :09:35.progressing well. Until the New Year at least, the road network in the
:09:36. > :09:40.East of Scotland is effectively cut in half. The travelling public
:09:41. > :09:43.facing the day-to-day reality of having to find the long way around.
:09:44. > :09:47.Hundreds of homes and businesses are counting the cost of the weekend's
:09:48. > :09:53.Rivers remain high across Scotland, and although flood warnings have
:09:54. > :09:56.been downgraded, more rain is forecast tonight.
:09:57. > :10:04.Cameron Buttle has spent the day in the town of Hawick.
:10:05. > :10:13.More than five inches of rain fell in a few hours across the southern
:10:14. > :10:17.borders. The river burst its banks. Hundreds were evacuated and roads
:10:18. > :10:22.were closed. Local volunteers joined emergency services to try to limit
:10:23. > :10:25.the damage. At the height of the flooding, the water was so high it
:10:26. > :10:29.was just touching the bottom of the footbridge. It is only since the
:10:30. > :10:34.water has started to recede today, that the scale of the damage is
:10:35. > :10:42.becoming apparent. This was an entire chunk of Glebe Millstreet,
:10:43. > :10:47.which has fallen into the river. And businesses and homes across this
:10:48. > :10:51.area were affected again. All of this came out of the Baille family
:10:52. > :11:00.home allowance? Yards from the river bank. How bad was it? Saturday night
:11:01. > :11:05.was extremely bad. I have never seen it as fast flowing as that. I was
:11:06. > :11:09.working in Morrisons and every now and again I was looking out of the
:11:10. > :11:15.bag. It must have been going about 50 mph, if not faster. Next door a
:11:16. > :11:20.photography business was also hit just before their busiest time of
:11:21. > :11:25.the year. We had floodgates but as you can see the water has come up
:11:26. > :11:29.through the floor. Just gone throughout the building. We have had
:11:30. > :11:36.maybe an inch or macro so of water through the whole of the building.
:11:37. > :11:40.All of this area has been hit before in 2005. There are plans for another
:11:41. > :11:44.flood prevention scheme but it will not be here for another six years.
:11:45. > :11:49.This weekend was absolutely horrendous. We need a flood
:11:50. > :11:53.protection scheme here. We cannot wait six years. It is the same
:11:54. > :11:57.businesses and premises that have been affected. House of us have had
:11:58. > :12:05.enough. Aviemore was the worst hit in the Highlands. 25 people were
:12:06. > :12:09.rescued from this caravan park. And Sands area in Dumfries saw more
:12:10. > :12:13.businesses flooded. Rail services have been cancelled because of
:12:14. > :12:17.flooding through the Carlisle area. Police in the Borders have warned
:12:18. > :12:22.motorists not to ignore warning signs. One woman has been charged
:12:23. > :12:26.with culpable and reckless conduct after driving on a closed road. Her
:12:27. > :12:27.car was swept away and she had to be rescued.
:12:28. > :12:29.You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC.
:12:30. > :12:36.Still to come on tonight's programme:
:12:37. > :12:42.Children at a Glasgow primary school stage their own arts awards ceremony
:12:43. > :12:44.as the city prepares to host the Turner Prize.
:12:45. > :12:46.And coming up in sport, after a wild weekend of weather,
:12:47. > :12:48.Scottish football bosses propose a winter break.

:13:01. > :13:06.She says Scotland will invest an extra ?12 million over four years
:13:07. > :13:10.to tackle the effects of climate change in poorer countries.
:13:11. > :13:13.Our Environment Correspondent, David Miller, is in the French
:13:14. > :13:30.Good evening from Paris. It was the need to protect the world's poorest
:13:31. > :13:34.people from the effects of climate change which was right at the top of
:13:35. > :13:39.the First Minister's agenda during her time here. But Nicola
:13:40. > :13:41.Sturgeon's baby again in a sombre and contemplative fashion as she
:13:42. > :13:44.played -- paid and contemplative fashion as she
:13:45. > :13:54.died in the Paris attacks. Paris before dawn and the First
:13:55. > :13:59.Minister visits the Bataclan Theatre to witness the candles still burning
:14:00. > :14:04.in memory of the dead. This was a private visit with non-journalists
:14:05. > :14:10.are camera crews present. An hour later and very different symbolism
:14:11. > :14:13.here at Paris City Hall, were Nicola Sturgeon joined other leaders
:14:14. > :14:21.attending the UN climate conference. But can a country with just 0.1% of
:14:22. > :14:27.the world population hope to make a difference? The event I was at this
:14:28. > :14:30.morning brings together 44 subnational governments from 18
:14:31. > :14:34.countries across six continents. It represents more than 300 million
:14:35. > :14:39.people across the world, and a third of the world economy. What that says
:14:40. > :14:42.is that yes, Scotland is a relatively small country, but when
:14:43. > :14:46.we come together with others the cumulative impact we have is
:14:47. > :14:48.enormous. Scotland is making progress but must go much further,
:14:49. > :14:56.say experts. We have made progress progress but must go much further,
:14:57. > :15:02.on renewables. But in terms of other areas, there is a lot to be done.
:15:03. > :15:10.Proposals to cut Air Passenger Duty seems to me to be a retrograde step.
:15:11. > :15:13.But the First Minister's insistence that the climate fund is to be
:15:14. > :15:18.doubled has been welcomed by international aid agencies.
:15:19. > :15:22.Scotland's announcement of ?12 million over four years for the
:15:23. > :15:25.climate Justice fund is really significant. It is something we are
:15:26. > :15:31.calling on other countries to match because it is poor people who
:15:32. > :15:36.least to cause climate change, yet they are the most affected. Intense
:15:37. > :15:40.negotiations lie ahead but there is cautious optimism here that a global
:15:41. > :15:46.deal on climate change can be struck before the week is out.
:15:47. > :15:49.Tonight, the First Minister is homeward bound. I'm told she is
:15:50. > :15:54.being kept upto date with developments throughout the day. She
:15:55. > :15:57.is returning to oversee the response to the weekend flooding and to the
:15:58. > :16:00.closure of the Forth Road Bridge. A look now at other stories
:16:01. > :16:03.from across the country. The UK Government says ?8 billion
:16:04. > :16:07.will be spent building warships It follows criticism from the SNP
:16:08. > :16:28.who say only eight of an original There is another ?8 billion up for
:16:29. > :16:32.grabs after that in building the new type 26 frigates, building more
:16:33. > :16:35.Offshore Patrol Vessels and building a new lighter frigate that we hope
:16:36. > :16:39.to add to the fleet as well and there is no reason why the vast bulk
:16:40. > :16:40.of that work shouldn't be done in Scotland.
:16:41. > :16:42.Former nurses who left the profession are being tempted
:16:43. > :16:44.back to the wards by a Scottish Government programme.
:16:45. > :16:47.Nearly 200 former nurses and midwives are expected to return
:16:48. > :17:00.We've increased the number of student intake by 3% this year, that
:17:01. > :17:04.is over and above the 6% in previous years, so we are recruiting more and
:17:05. > :17:06.of course, the NHS workforce is at a record high and that is people at
:17:07. > :17:08.the front line of the workforce. The earliest gun flints found
:17:09. > :17:10.in Britain were among finds made during 15 years of archaeological
:17:11. > :17:13.excavations in the Hebrides. The flints were manufactured
:17:14. > :17:16.on the northern tip of Lewis. Experts say the flints are proof
:17:17. > :17:23.of gun fights in medieval times. The Royal Bank
:17:24. > :17:25.of Scotland is asking the public whose face they want to see on its
:17:26. > :17:29.first plastic ten pound banknotes. Nominees must be Scottish historical
:17:30. > :17:32.figures who've made a major contribution to science
:17:33. > :17:37.and innovation. An endangered loggerhead sea turtle
:17:38. > :17:40.has been washed up on Irvine Beach, in Ayrshire after being caught
:17:41. > :17:44.in Storm Desmond. It's being cared for at the
:17:45. > :17:48.Scottish Sea Life Sanctuary in Oban and will be flown to Gran Canaria
:17:49. > :17:55.when it has fully recovered. The winner of the Turner Prize will
:17:56. > :17:59.be announced in Glasgow tonight. The ?25,000 prize is awarded each
:18:00. > :18:02.year to the best contemporary art made by a
:18:03. > :18:07.British artist under the age of 50. It's the first time the awards
:18:08. > :18:11.have been staged in Scotland. They'll be announced at Tramway
:18:12. > :18:15.arts centre in just over an hour. And our arts correspondent Pauline
:18:16. > :18:29.McLean is there for us tonight. David, this former tram depot shows
:18:30. > :18:35.just how much has changed in Glasgow over the last 25 years. It is now
:18:36. > :18:39.art which has become the new industry of this city, it has a
:18:40. > :18:43.buzzing art scene to rival any in the UK, including London. Seven of
:18:44. > :18:48.the previous winners of the Turner Prize came from Scotland. 30% of the
:18:49. > :18:52.previous nominees are from Glasgow, most of them through the Glasgow
:18:53. > :18:58.School of Art and many of them still working here. And yet this year,
:18:59. > :19:02.when prize comes to Glasgow, not a single Scot on the short list, but
:19:03. > :19:07.it doesn't seem to bother the art lovers, they have come along in
:19:08. > :19:11.plenty, six times the number of visitors they normally have here at
:19:12. > :19:13.the Tramway and they have inspired lots of schoolchildren, including
:19:14. > :19:22.one school who decided to stage a prize of their own.
:19:23. > :19:28.This is one of the nominations for the Turner Prize. Part of a song
:19:29. > :19:33.cycle by Janice Kerbel, performed live in the exhibition at Tramway.
:19:34. > :19:39.And this is primary to from Saint Alberts, with their piece Breathing,
:19:40. > :19:47.which is about pollution and directly inspired by what they saw
:19:48. > :19:52.at the Turner experts -- exhibition. Tramway is a neighbour of ours, so
:19:53. > :19:57.it is easy to access the art there and the exhibition and the project.
:19:58. > :20:00.So we just decided to go over it and it has got bigger and bigger and
:20:01. > :20:08.bigger. Indeed, every single classes
:20:09. > :20:14.involved. This is primarily one's responds to Nicole Wermers peace.
:20:15. > :20:17.There is such a diverse range of practices and the children are
:20:18. > :20:21.really responding to those different concepts and scenarios, perhaps in a
:20:22. > :20:25.less cynical way than an adult audience might. Some created
:20:26. > :20:34.original works like this sculpture, which was inspired and made by
:20:35. > :20:43.Syrian refugees. Five people can open the door and one family can go
:20:44. > :20:48.through the door. He is pushing the door and the hand goes out the door.
:20:49. > :20:51.It even spills into the playground, where a former Turner Prize nominee
:20:52. > :20:55.inspires where a former Turner Prize nominee
:20:56. > :20:59.thought bubble is a chance to share their excitement about the Turner
:21:00. > :21:04.Prize being on home turf. And there is a real buzz here of
:21:05. > :21:09.excitement at Tramway, as people arrived for that announcement, which
:21:10. > :21:14.will happen within just over an hour. We can guarantee it won't be a
:21:15. > :21:18.Scot this year, but it feels as if Glasgow is already a winner, just
:21:19. > :21:22.from having staged it. It has cast light on the wider art scene and the
:21:23. > :21:27.extraordinary amount of artists that work here all year round. This
:21:28. > :21:31.exhibition will run until the middle of January, lots of events alongside
:21:32. > :21:35.it and then they start preparing for the next big contemporary art event,
:21:36. > :21:38.the Glasgow International. Pauline, thank you.
:21:39. > :21:45.Pedigree of artistry in the Sport Tonight, not much, though.
:21:46. > :21:48.The head of the Scottish Football Association is calling for a rethink
:21:49. > :21:50.after a weekend washout led to a deluge of postponed matches.
:21:51. > :21:53.Stewart Regan has told BBC Scotland that summer football,

:22:24. > :22:26.elite clubs a few months ago and the vast majority said they would be up
:22:27. > :22:32.for discussing the prospect. Some of the games that did go ahead at the
:22:33. > :22:36.weekend went ahead on synthetic surfaces, albeit on awful surfaces.
:22:37. > :22:41.-- awful conditions. Stewart Regan has said he is up for more clubs
:22:42. > :22:47.installing plastic pitches. What else is he suggesting? What we might
:22:48. > :22:50.need to look at this perhaps some sort of mid-season break, where we
:22:51. > :22:53.can start the season a bit earlier, take advantage of the good weather,
:22:54. > :22:59.the light nights, get kids out on the park being coached by parents or
:23:00. > :23:03.by Scottish FA coaches, and maybe finish the season around the same
:23:04. > :23:07.time or a little bit later but have a break in the middle. But for now,
:23:08. > :23:12.we are expecting news imminently of a change to the League Cup. It has
:23:13. > :23:16.been widely reported that we should be seeing an end to the straight
:23:17. > :23:21.knockout and perhaps a move towards a new league format. That could be
:23:22. > :23:26.one avenue to explore. Don't expect a huge number of clubs to install
:23:27. > :23:30.plastic pitches, don't expect a huge march on hand here for summer

:23:39. > :23:41.the former chief executive Roger Mitchell has revealed it would
:23:42. > :23:45.essentially have been a Dundee United takeover of Dundee back
:23:46. > :23:48.in 1999, with the new club called Although the deal eventually
:23:49. > :23:52.unravelled, Mitchell says the new club would have played in Tangerine
:23:53. > :23:56.at United's Tannadice Stadium. Mitchell made the revelations
:23:57. > :24:12.in an interview with People don't remember, or certainly
:24:13. > :24:16.some people don't want to remember, that that deal was done, those two
:24:17. > :24:22.teams on a Friday night had merged, they had come up with a new name, a
:24:23. > :24:25.strip they would play in. We had been told about that, we were ready
:24:26. > :24:32.to deal with it. And what that meant for promotion and relegation. It was
:24:33. > :24:36.a crucial moment, it was two clubs, to historic clubs merging.
:24:37. > :24:38.World darts champion Gary Anderson has issued
:24:39. > :24:40.a statement saying that he would never intentionally lose a match.
:24:41. > :24:43.It's after an earlier admission that he had lost deliberately to
:24:44. > :24:47.Last month, Anderson told BBC Scotland's Tom English he lost
:24:48. > :24:50.the match because he was "cheesed off" with the level of abuse Lewis
:24:51. > :25:07.Did you lose deliberately? Yes. I didn't want to win a game that
:25:08. > :25:12.happened in, simple as that. Out of support for Adrian Lewis? Yes, I
:25:13. > :25:15.thought it was a disgrace, to be quite honest. That is the sport for

:25:21. > :25:24.happening on the weather front, let's get the latest.
:25:25. > :25:28.Good evening, it has been a fairly cloudy and damp day across much of
:25:29. > :25:33.the country. There were one or two exceptions, as we can see from this
:25:34. > :25:38.picture in Sutherland. Some brightness just peeking through the
:25:39. > :25:42.clouds. As far as the here and now is concerned, we are watching this
:25:43. > :25:46.cold front tracking from west to east. And the rain on that cold
:25:47. > :25:49.front has prompted the Met office to issue only yellow be aware warning
:25:50. > :25:56.for parts of central and southern Scotland. More rain falling, which
:25:57. > :25:59.is most unwelcome after the flooding we have just had. A pretty
:26:00. > :26:03.fast-moving feature, though, pulling away into the North Sea overnight
:26:04. > :26:07.although a few heavy showers following on. A fairly mild night to
:26:08. > :26:11.come, temperatures no lower than six Celsius. Fresh to strong winds from
:26:12. > :26:16.the South or pleased for coastal areas, Gale force at times across
:26:17. > :26:19.the Western and Northern Isles. Tomorrow, we start the day with a
:26:20. > :26:22.fair amount of dry weather, some showers in the East pulling away to
:26:23. > :26:28.leave dry and brighter conditions with sunshine. Quickly, though, a
:26:29. > :26:31.clump of showers pushing into Western areas and indeed, by
:26:32. > :26:35.tomorrow afternoon, some of those showers will filter into southern
:26:36. > :26:38.and central Scotland, a few heavy showers, although the heaviest and
:26:39. > :26:45.most prolonged of the showers will be across North Argyll and into
:26:46. > :26:49.Wester Ross. Some glimpses of brightness but the best of the
:26:50. > :26:52.sunshine tomorrow afternoon reserved for the north-east. After a fairly
:26:53. > :26:57.mild morning, temperatures falling away to around six or seven Celsius,
:26:58. > :27:02.the wind peering into the West and easing somewhat. Into Tuesday
:27:03. > :27:07.evening, we will continue to see this band of showery rain pulling
:27:08. > :27:10.away into the North Sea, falling as smoke on the Hillsborough time and
:27:11. > :27:17.behind it, clearer conditions allowing a touch of frost to develop
:27:18. > :27:21.-- falling snow on the hills. The isobars fairly tightly packed
:27:22. > :27:25.together, so more rain in the forecast and an early warning in
:27:26. > :27:28.force again from the Met office for central and southern Scotland,
:27:29. > :27:31.strong to Gale force winds and severe gales across western exposed
:27:32. > :27:33.parts, but feeling mild once again. That is the forecast.
:27:34. > :27:35.Now, a reminder of tonight's main news.
:27:36. > :27:38.The family of three of the six people who died in the
:27:39. > :27:40.Glasgow bin lorry crash say they're beginning a private prosecution
:27:41. > :27:44.The operators of the Forth Road Bridge say engineers are
:27:45. > :27:46.working around the clock on repairs, as travellers cope with
