:01:42. > :01:53.challenging day for the communities It's now a week

:02:48. > :02:53.commuters saying, tough, but I'm not a community. I didn't choose to do
:02:54. > :02:56.this, this is a necessity. Conscious of the widespread disruption,
:02:57. > :03:01.Scotland's First Minister paid an early visit to those working to keep
:03:02. > :03:07.a lid on it. She also met the engineer who discovered the cracked
:03:08. > :03:11.steelwork. It's just one of those things I saw out of the corner of my
:03:12. > :03:17.eye. Having been briefed on the repair, Nicola Sturgeon offered this
:03:18. > :03:19.on the world discussed timetable. We are absolutely determined to do
:03:20. > :03:24.everything possible to get the bridge open again at the start of
:03:25. > :03:27.the year. Whether aside, from everything the engineers have told
:03:28. > :03:31.me this morning, based on the further inspections they have been
:03:32. > :03:36.able to do on the bridge they remain optimistic the repair can be done on
:03:37. > :03:39.that timescale. Daylight brought recent working conditions but
:03:40. > :03:44.contrast this train trip with the morning rush hour. Once again busy
:03:45. > :03:49.trains, stations and car parks, and additional early service having been
:03:50. > :03:54.added to meet demand. With roads still jammed, however, the aim is to
:03:55. > :03:58.get more people on the buses. It will reduce the time and it will
:03:59. > :04:02.reduce the congestion. The more people we get off the road to better

:04:08. > :04:11.starting to bite, to the tune of ?600,000 a day estimate the road
:04:12. > :04:18.hauliers Association. Today's redaction of driving hours came as
:04:19. > :04:21.more consolation. It is a disaster for Scottish business, because even
:04:22. > :04:25.coming down from the north, over the bridge and heading south, they are
:04:26. > :04:31.having to come down into the congested area, Stirling area, so it
:04:32. > :04:37.is affecting everybody. They need to sort it out. A week on from
:04:38. > :04:40.discovering the sliver of cracked steelwork communities at both ends
:04:41. > :04:42.of the Forth Road Bridge bridge and beyond are coming to terms with its
:04:43. > :04:45.far-reaching consequences. Well, at Holyrood this afternoon,
:04:46. > :04:48.opposition leaders demanded a Parliamentary inquiry
:04:49. > :04:52.into the closure of the Bridge. They queried
:04:53. > :04:55.whether cuts to the repair programme And they insist the focus now should
:04:56. > :05:02.be on helping struggling commuters, From Holyrood, here's
:05:03. > :05:25.our political editor Brian Taylor. Congestion. Stress. Repairs.
:05:26. > :05:30.Closure. This is an unprecedented challenge of the operation of the
:05:31. > :05:37.Forth Road Bridge. That brought a succession of SMEs to their feet
:05:38. > :05:41.today urging further improvements. And then the longer term concerns.
:05:42. > :05:45.Businesses which are losing large sums of money as a result of the
:05:46. > :05:52.closure are understandably calling for compensation. And where bridge
:05:53. > :05:56.-- were bridge repairs neglected because of spending cuts pitch mark
:05:57. > :06:02.ministers say not. The immediate problem is with the trust at the
:06:03. > :06:06.north-east tower. Work was cancelled by officials and then reconfigured.
:06:07. > :06:09.They say that plan may have included the present trouble spot but the
:06:10. > :06:14.ministers say any critical repairs had been fully funded and stressed
:06:15. > :06:18.the current problem was entirely new and completely unrelated to earlier
:06:19. > :06:24.plans. Routine inspection has only occurred in the past few weeks.
:06:25. > :06:28.Based on the advice and evidence we received from specialist engineers
:06:29. > :06:32.and for the avoidance of doubt, we believe the current fold is entirely
:06:33. > :06:35.unrelated to the above project and there is no indication that the
:06:36. > :06:41.ongoing repair project has caused the defect. Opposition leaders say
:06:42. > :06:46.that issue must be cleared up eventually. There are some big,
:06:47. > :06:51.colossal questions which need to be answered, about how such a major
:06:52. > :06:54.artery could fail in this way and it has been catastrophic. People have
:06:55. > :06:58.questions and people need answers and that is why I am calling for a
:06:59. > :07:02.Parliamentary inquiry into the circumstances leading up to this
:07:03. > :07:05.crisis. But the minister said the concerns thoroughly justified the
:07:06. > :07:10.construction of the new crossing for the existing bridge no mystery, it
:07:11. > :07:15.was ageing and under huge traffic pressure. Lessons would be learned,
:07:16. > :07:19.but right now... The key thing has to be to get this bridge open as
:07:20. > :07:25.quickly as possible. From the outset the bridge will quiet hard work and
:07:26. > :07:29.skilled engineering. The same today. On the 4th of September 1964, Her

:08:00. > :08:01.Let's get more on this now from our reporter John McManus,
:08:02. > :08:14.What has the principal had to say? Well, this afternoon at Robert
:08:15. > :08:20.Gordon University issued a statement, saying Mr Trump had been
:08:21. > :08:22.awarded his degree because of his business skills, entrepreneurship
:08:23. > :08:25.and because of the investment he has brought to this part of the world,
:08:26. > :08:31.north-east Scotland. He is famously the owner of the golf links and add
:08:32. > :08:36.in the China, but the current principal, wasn't in place when Mr
:08:37. > :08:40.Trump received his honorary degree, said he is going to look again at
:08:41. > :08:45.the issue but was not prepared to say any more at this moment until a
:08:46. > :08:49.decision had been made. Universities do like to be associated with famous
:08:50. > :08:53.figures from the world of business or the arts and in return figures
:08:54. > :08:57.like Mr Trump benefit from the esteem and respectability that an
:08:58. > :09:04.honorary degree can bring to them. The problem arises when those famous
:09:05. > :09:10.figures start to become to -- too controversial and he is defined by
:09:11. > :09:14.controversy. What are the chances of Mr Trump's opponents getting their
:09:15. > :09:18.way? Well, when I last looked at the
:09:19. > :09:24.petition the signatures were fast approaching 8000. You may feel that
:09:25. > :09:27.is a bit of a drop in the ocean, nothing to concern them, the problem
:09:28. > :09:31.for them may arise if Mr Trump says something even more controversial
:09:32. > :09:34.next week and then people will ask why they didn't act sooner to
:09:35. > :09:37.preserve their own reputation. Many thanks for that, John.

:11:37. > :11:41.the power of a 1-party state, which we currently have in Scotland. Just
:11:42. > :11:45.as the House of Lords here is the check and balance on the
:11:46. > :11:49.government. The call came as the Lords debated the Scotland Bill. The
:11:50. > :11:55.idea was dismissed by the SNP and the UK Government. I don't think
:11:56. > :12:00.there is a mood in Scotland for more politicians. What we need to ensure
:12:01. > :12:04.is the Scottish Parliament itself is as effective as possible as it is
:12:05. > :12:08.scrutinising legislation, particularly these new financial
:12:09. > :12:12.powers that are coming. The Scotland Bill will transfer a whole new set
:12:13. > :12:16.of powers north. It is meant to fulfil the vow made by the prounion
:12:17. > :12:21.parties. The UK Government is promising the Scottish Parliament it
:12:22. > :12:26.will be permanent, to the annoyance of some. We create the impression of
:12:27. > :12:30.a sovereign, independent parliament and play straight into the hands of
:12:31. > :12:34.those nationalists who do not accept the result of the referendum and are
:12:35. > :12:42.still seeking to break up the United Kingdom. And there are warnings from
:12:43. > :12:45.others. When Parliament and when a London centred body talks about
:12:46. > :12:50.Scotland the Scots perceive it as patronising, perceive it as not
:12:51. > :12:53.taking it seriously. I think that was the underlying dynamic which
:12:54. > :12:58.read to such a close shave in the referendum. I speak as a Unionist.
:12:59. > :13:04.Peer and priest, the whole tradition here angered the SNP, who choose not
:13:05. > :13:07.to be represented. Nobody voted for these people and nobody really cares
:13:08. > :13:11.at all much about what they have to say about some of these issues. I
:13:12. > :13:16.think we will observe this as the pantomime it is. I am in the peers
:13:17. > :13:20.will be. The House of Lords has been debating this for some time. There
:13:21. > :13:23.will be more debate and discussion in this place in the New Year. The
:13:24. > :13:29.Scottish Parliament also has to agree to the principles in the
:13:30. > :13:30.Scotland Bill by March, in time for the Holyrood election, a tight
:13:31. > :13:32.timetable. Well, our Correspondent David Porter
:13:33. > :13:41.is at Westminster now. David, this talk of a second chamber
:13:42. > :13:47.hasn't done much to improve the mood ahead of this debate, has it?
:13:48. > :13:52.No it hasn't and it has raised the hackles of some MPs. As we saw
:13:53. > :13:56.there, who feel it reaches the principles and the spirit of the
:13:57. > :14:00.Smith commission, on which the new Scotland Bill is based. Also, the UK
:14:01. > :14:05.Government has made it pretty plain that they are pouring cold water on
:14:06. > :14:08.the idea, so when it is debated in the House of Lords later on this
:14:09. > :14:12.evening it will not be passed. But what it does show is the inherent
:14:13. > :14:18.tensions that there always are in Scottish politics. When you add to
:14:19. > :14:23.the House of Lords on devolution to that is perhaps not tempers get a
:14:24. > :14:27.little frayed. We heard in that report that they regarded it as an
:14:28. > :14:30.outrage that the unelected House of Lords was wanting to change
:14:31. > :14:36.legislation and some members wanted to create this Senate perhaps with a
:14:37. > :14:40.nod towards the time of year he said it would be a pantomime. Others say
:14:41. > :14:44.it is merely the House of Lords doing what they're doing, being a
:14:45. > :14:50.revising chamber. At the one thing that we can say in this debate, as
:14:51. > :14:53.in so much of Scottish politics, a bit more heat than light has been
:14:54. > :14:54.generated today. Many thanks for that.

:15:06. > :15:07.The bill would end the controversial policy of police
:15:08. > :15:12.stopping and searching people without statutory powers to do so.
:15:13. > :15:18.Well our Home Affairs Correspondent Reevel Alderson joins us now.
:15:19. > :15:26.Why did Alex Salmond Jews to speak about this -- choose to speak about
:15:27. > :15:31.this question mark since he stepped down as First Minister and more
:15:32. > :15:34.especially since he became a Westminster MP he has rarely spoken
:15:35. > :15:40.at Holyrood. Today was only the seventh time he has spoken since
:15:41. > :15:45.June. But I think what is even more rare is a former First Minister, on
:15:46. > :15:51.the final day of debating a bill which his government introduced in
:15:52. > :15:55.2013, his concern today was that the controversial practice of stop and
:15:56. > :15:58.search, voluntary stop and search, where police carry out searches of
:15:59. > :16:03.people without having a statutory basis to do so, is to be bound by
:16:04. > :16:07.this bill. Yet he said it had contributed significantly to a
:16:08. > :16:12.considerable reduction in the amount of knife crime and homicide in
:16:13. > :16:17.Scotland since it was introduced. What has been the response? Stop and
:16:18. > :16:21.search powers have been effective in reducing knife crime and therefore
:16:22. > :16:26.the deaths of young people in this country. I want the Minister to
:16:27. > :16:31.address in his closing whether he is absolutely satisfied that nothing in
:16:32. > :16:36.this change of powers is going to change the downward trajectory of
:16:37. > :16:39.knife crime in Scotland. What has been the response from the Justice
:16:40. > :16:43.Secretary? The Justice Secretary winding up the debate sought to
:16:44. > :16:47.allay those fears. He said in the last couple of years the number of
:16:48. > :16:51.stop and search, voluntary stop and searches, which peaked at over
:16:52. > :16:54.600,000, had been reduced significantly. But the reduction in
:16:55. > :16:59.the amount of knife crime in Scotland had continued. He said the
:17:00. > :17:01.new statutory powers for police and a code of practice would unable them
:17:02. > :17:12.to continue that work. Many thanks. The Scottish Government says it will
:17:13. > :17:15.look into changing the rules for organ donation, if a new system
:17:16. > :17:19.in Wales proves to be a success. There,
:17:20. > :17:20.adults are seen as having consented to donate their organs after they
:17:21. > :17:23.die, unless they have opted out. Ministers here are not opposed
:17:24. > :17:26.in principle to the change, but A look now at other stories

:20:37. > :20:40.that most of us were aware of. The League say all clubs did agree to

:20:48. > :20:52.will be in the thick of the action. I think it would help with crowds. I

:21:02. > :21:05.the winter. I think it would help. Obviously this is a step in the
:21:06. > :21:10.right direction. The competition also has a new broadcast partner, BT
:21:11. > :21:13.Sport have exclusive rights and will show 13 games in a deal worth around
:21:14. > :21:18.?8 million. As the winds
:21:19. > :21:20.of change blow through Scottish football, suggestions of how to
:21:21. > :21:22.increase success here, from the Heimir Hallgrimsson says that good
:21:23. > :21:26.practise begins with youngsters and, in his homeland of Iceland,
:21:27. > :21:28.professional coaching There's also
:21:29. > :21:43.the question that young Scots may be Iceland is a country not unlike
:21:44. > :21:46.Scotland in terms of weather and geography. But, in terms of
:21:47. > :21:51.football, Icelanders have a great deal more toll celebrate than
:21:52. > :21:57.Scottish fans. So how do Scotland and Iceland compare? Scotland has a
:21:58. > :22:03.population of 5.3 million. Iceland much smaller with under 339,000.
:22:04. > :22:10.Scotland have around 137,000 registered players. In Iceland there
:22:11. > :22:16.are 20,000. In Fifa world rankings Scotland are No 52. Iceland higher,
:22:17. > :22:22.36. The biggest difference - Scotland has not qualified for Euro
:22:23. > :22:26.2016 and Iceland has. Here in Scotland many youngsters are coached
:22:27. > :22:31.by parent volunteers and facilities are not always as good as this. In
:22:32. > :22:36.Iceland qualified coaches and good facilities are key. The kids do
:22:37. > :22:41.training with qualified coaches in a really, really good environment and
:22:42. > :22:44.facility. That's a Leith alcombination if you want to become
:22:45. > :22:47.a better football player sdmrchlt are we in Scotland too focused on
:22:48. > :22:51.the other hand playing only the national game? Could our young
:22:52. > :22:59.footballers benefit from a wider sporting experience? Kids who do
:23:00. > :23:02.sports at 10-year-old in Iceland, 90% do two sports. We have to learn
:23:03. > :23:07.swimming and Physical Education in school two times per week. It's a
:23:08. > :23:11.lot of activity for kids in Iceland. The past 10 years have been massive
:23:12. > :23:15.in terms of progress for the Icelandic national team. A very
:23:16. > :23:18.small nation enjoying very big success.
:23:19. > :23:21.One of Edinburgh rugby's top players says stability at the top will help
:23:22. > :23:24.them push for a place in next year's European Champions Cup.
:23:25. > :23:27.Despite last week's loss in Ulster, flanker Hamish Watson feels
:23:28. > :23:30.the Gunners have had a solid start to the season, and he's delighted
:23:31. > :23:33.head coach Alan Solomons has signed a new deal to keep him in
:23:34. > :23:44.You need to have a coach who is there for a few years. That will be
:23:45. > :23:47.his fourth season I think next year. It's God for the players much you
:23:48. > :23:51.need a familiar face, familiar coach around. You can't be swapping
:23:52. > :23:58.coaches every year or two, which we were doing a bit of when I first
:23:59. > :24:01.came. So, yeah, it's good to keep him and keep the game plans and
:24:02. > :24:05.systems in place so everyone know what is they're doing.
:24:06. > :24:09.In athletics, the Glasgow Grand Prix has been named as the final event of
:24:10. > :24:12.a newly created Iaaf World Indoor Tour. Four events have been selected
:24:13. > :24:13.for inclusion. The Glasgow event, at the Emirates
:24:14. > :24:18.the 20th of February, will be the finale after tour dates in Germany,
:24:19. > :24:21.Boston and Sweden. Mo Farah has already signed up for Glasgow. Like
:24:22. > :24:24.the outdoor Diamond League, a points system and prize money will be
:24:25. > :24:33.Not to be missed. That is all the sport, David. Thank you very much,
:24:34. > :24:39.Rhona. Now, just before the weather,
:24:40. > :24:42.a quick word on the winners of the Turner Prize, which was
:24:43. > :24:44.presented in Glasgow last night The victors - filling the stage
:24:45. > :24:49.there - are an 18-strong collective of designers and architects who call
:24:50. > :24:51.themselves, Assemble. Their work is part of a regeneration
:24:52. > :25:02.scheme for derelict houses I mean, it's extraordinary surprise.
:25:03. > :25:08.We barely believed that we could ever be nominated, let alone win
:25:09. > :25:12.this prize. It's wonderful to be able to share the award with all the
:25:13. > :25:16.people we worked with on this project and all the other projects
:25:17. > :25:18.we worked on, including the project here in Glasgow. That's been really
:25:19. > :25:20.wonderful. Let's get

:25:38. > :25:41.clear skies. It will be rather chilly. The showers clearing out
:25:42. > :25:45.into the North Sea. The skies have cleared and the temperatures falling
:25:46. > :25:49.away. Some showers holding on, in the countryside down to minus
:25:50. > :25:53.figures with a touch of frost. As we head through the early hours cloud
:25:54. > :25:56.pushes in from the west with a further spell of rain. Temperatures
:25:57. > :26:02.will be on their way up as we head into Wednesday. Tomorrow is about

:26:22. > :26:26.responded. Gusts of 7.0mph. There could be disruption on the ferries
:26:27. > :26:31.as a result of that this you can see the black areas indicating wind
:26:32. > :26:32.gusts. Towards East Lothian and eastern borders towards
:26:33. > :26:37.Aberdeenshire reasonably dry. The rain will come your way later on. A
:26:38. > :26:42.mild day, pretty wet for most, certainly for heart of Scotland and
:26:43. > :26:46.further west. So, as we head through the rest of the afternoon into the

:27:12. > :27:18.Thursday, a number of showers, those wintry. Snow down to 300, 400
:27:19. > :27:22.meters. There will be sleet or wet snow to low levels. Temperatures

:27:25. > :27:31.Christopher. Now,
