:00:00. > :00:00.That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me,

:00:00. > :00:00.and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

:00:00. > :00:08.Tonight, on Reporting Scotland - the Forth Road Bridge reopens

:00:09. > :00:20.But lorries will still have to go the long way round.

:00:21. > :00:26.Join me live at the bridge, where there is plenty of festive cheer

:00:27. > :00:28.after it opened first thing this morning.

:00:29. > :00:37.A court rules that government plans for minimum

:00:38. > :00:38.prices for alcohol MAY breach European law.

:00:39. > :00:41.Planes, trains and automobiles - the Christmas getaway

:00:42. > :00:44.The Hoff claims to be a Partick Thistle Fan -

:00:45. > :00:47.so what happened when he met team mascot Kingsley?

:00:48. > :00:49.And meet Dancer the reindeer, who has taken some time out

:00:50. > :01:10.250 scaffolders, 46 welders, 76 engineers and inspectors -

:01:11. > :01:14.the workers that enabled the early re-opening of the Forth Road Bridge.

:01:15. > :01:16.Traffic flowed well on the crossing today, following a closure that has

:01:17. > :01:23.While the steelwork repairs are complete, lorry drivers

:01:24. > :01:26.will have to wait until the middle of February until they can use

:01:27. > :01:31.Our reporter Lisa Summers is at the bridge control centre

:01:32. > :01:46.It is getting very gusty here. But a huge amount of work has gone on here

:01:47. > :01:51.over the past few weeks to make sure that this bridge could open as

:01:52. > :01:54.quickly as possible. So it is a very pleasing sight for most of the

:01:55. > :01:56.regular traffic which uses it to see it up and running this evening, 12

:01:57. > :02:03.days ahead of schedule. 5:20am, and the Forth Road Bridge

:02:04. > :02:06.was back in action. Vans, cars, buses and bikes

:02:07. > :02:09.make 90% of users. They had a clear run

:02:10. > :02:11.across the water. It is nice to stretch your legs

:02:12. > :02:16.and get back in the swing of things. It's even been too busy

:02:17. > :02:22.to get the bike on. From paying nothing to the best part

:02:23. > :02:47.of ?15 a day has been It will be another six weeks before

:02:48. > :02:51.lorries can cross. Police officers were out to make sure they obeyed

:02:52. > :02:54.the restriction. The industry claims the prolonged closure will cost them

:02:55. > :02:59.?40 million, affecting businesses right across the country. We were

:03:00. > :03:03.very disappointed yesterday to hear the minister announcing that the

:03:04. > :03:06.bridge would reopen but not for HGVs. It is a kick in the stomach

:03:07. > :03:10.for us now because we had expected to be like, road by the start of

:03:11. > :03:16.January. Things appeared to be going well. The traffic actually has been

:03:17. > :03:19.very light. We have not had any queues, any difficulties on the

:03:20. > :03:26.network at all this morning. We are glad to see the cars using the

:03:27. > :03:30.bridge again. On both sides of the Forth, they will now begin to count

:03:31. > :03:36.the cost of the disruption. It has not been an easy year for Fife. It

:03:37. > :03:39.has added to the timescales and added to uncertainty. There is some

:03:40. > :03:43.worry that this might have a long-term effect on some customers.

:03:44. > :03:48.Looking out across the water, it seems for many there will indeed be

:03:49. > :03:54.a very Merry Christmas. The Scottish Government says it has set up a

:03:55. > :03:58.helpline for hauliers and it is trying to keep the diversion routes

:03:59. > :04:03.as clear as possible. But any talk of compensation will be ongoing. For

:04:04. > :04:07.small businesses, it is back to business as usual. Stephen Gordon

:04:08. > :04:11.was up at the crack of dawn this morning to join a butcher based in

:04:12. > :04:18.Fife as it made its deliveries back into the capital. Succes, Claire

:04:19. > :04:23.Mitchell and her husband, packing up the orders for a trip to market. The

:04:24. > :04:27.family have been farming in West Fife for generations. But for the

:04:28. > :04:32.last three weeks their butchery business has faced an entirely new

:04:33. > :04:37.problem - the closure of the Forth Road Bridge. This morning at last

:04:38. > :04:41.they could avoid the long way round. It feels quite a big relief. It is

:04:42. > :04:48.lovely not to have to drive all the way around and Zhou and find

:04:49. > :04:52.alternate routes. It has added a lot of time onto the journey to

:04:53. > :04:55.Edinburgh. So this is lovely, very exciting actually. Shortly before

:04:56. > :05:00.seven o'clock, on to the bridge, passing under the north tower and

:05:01. > :05:08.the repaired steel truss a few metres below. It is a bit blowy but

:05:09. > :05:12.hopefully we are safe. Which after all was why the bridge was closed in

:05:13. > :05:17.the first place. Now it is reopened, there is a bit more time to consider

:05:18. > :05:22.pre-Christmas consequences. It is such a busy time of year. We really

:05:23. > :05:30.need to be back at the farm doing the production rather than spending

:05:31. > :05:33.hours out-driving and delivering. Arriving in Edinburgh, she sets up a

:05:34. > :05:38.stall for one final day of trading before the festive shutdown. With

:05:39. > :05:42.the capital a bridge too far for many until today, there have been

:05:43. > :05:47.upsides. A captive market has meant local Fife trade has been booming.

:05:48. > :05:50.When you have a challenge, at the beginning you think it is

:05:51. > :05:56.insurmountable, but after awhile you of ways around it. It makes you

:05:57. > :06:00.realise that lots of things can be coped with. You just have to deal

:06:01. > :06:04.with it the same as everybody else! Like many others in Fife and beyond,

:06:05. > :06:14.this business will take stock of the bridge closure and hope the worst is

:06:15. > :06:18.now behind them. But of course this is not quite the end of the story.

:06:19. > :06:22.There is still some work to be done on the bridge in January which might

:06:23. > :06:25.mean some restrictions. And of course that Parliamentary inquiry

:06:26. > :06:27.will get under way to try to establish if anything could been

:06:28. > :06:45.done to stop this closure happening in the first place.

:06:46. > :06:47.The Scottish government and the Scotch Whisky Association

:06:48. > :06:50.have both welcomed today's ruling by the European Court of Justice

:06:51. > :06:53.in a case over the proposed introduction of a minimum

:06:54. > :06:57.The court in Luxembourg said the policy, which the drinks lobby

:06:58. > :06:59.Ministers say they will continue to argue minimum pricing

:07:00. > :07:04.Our home affairs correspondent Reevel Alderson reports.

:07:05. > :07:11.Scotland has a troubled relationship with alcohol. ?3.6 billion is the

:07:12. > :07:16.estimated annual cost to the NHS. The devilment has proposed a 50p

:07:17. > :07:22.minimum unit price for alcohol to help tackle alcohol misuse.

:07:23. > :07:25.Following a complaint by the Scotch Whisky Association, the European

:07:26. > :07:29.Court of Justice was asked whether this policy contravened European

:07:30. > :07:35.trade laws. Their ruling today is far from definitive. Judges have

:07:36. > :07:39.passed the matter back to the court of session in Edinburgh to determine

:07:40. > :07:43.whether an alternative such as increasing alcohol duty would help

:07:44. > :07:46.cut the problems caused by drink. The Scotch Whisky Association, which

:07:47. > :07:49.brought the case, welcome to the ruling, which it says confirmed

:07:50. > :07:57.minimum unit pricing contravenes free trade laws. It confirms 30

:07:58. > :08:01.years of European case law. It says minimum pricing is a restriction on

:08:02. > :08:05.trade in the EU and therefore it is illegal to choose minimum pricing

:08:06. > :08:08.when there are other less restrictive means available. The

:08:09. > :08:12.Scottish Government also welcome the ruling. Drink taxes are reserved to

:08:13. > :08:16.Westminster. But ministers here say they will seek to persuade Scottish

:08:17. > :08:20.judges that minimum unit pricing targets problem drinkers. Taxation

:08:21. > :08:24.affects Pepsi drinkers and Pepsi drinks in the same way, whereas

:08:25. > :08:30.minimum unit pricing targets of those cheap, strong products which

:08:31. > :08:35.do the most harm. So actually we will argue strongly that it is

:08:36. > :08:40.actually a less restrictive measure. It is more targeted and therefore

:08:41. > :08:45.more effective, we will argue. Health campaigners say alcohol is

:08:46. > :08:48.60% cheaper than it was in 1980 and it is vital that problem drinking

:08:49. > :08:53.and the anti-social behaviour it causes are tackled. We are really

:08:54. > :08:57.disappointed that this court case continues. We have 20 people a week

:08:58. > :09:00.in Scotland dying of alcohol-related causes come and that is avoidable.

:09:01. > :09:07.The best way to reduce those deaths is by getting this cheap, dangerous

:09:08. > :09:13.product off the market. And minimum pricing is a way of doing that.

:09:14. > :09:16.Minimum unit pricing is still a long way off. Once the court of session

:09:17. > :09:18.has delivered its own ruling next year, it is likely the case will be

:09:19. > :09:26.appealed to the UK Supreme Court. The great Christmas holiday

:09:27. > :09:28.getaway is well underway. Today is expected to be the busiest

:09:29. > :09:31.day for festive travellers, though strong winds and heavy

:09:32. > :09:44.seas have been creating At Glasgow bus station today, the

:09:45. > :09:52.Christmas getaway was well under way. We are taking the wee man to

:09:53. > :09:57.Paris for Christmas to go to Disneyland. Almost a week in Paris

:09:58. > :10:01.and we are away back to Aberdeen. I am going up to Inverness on the bus,

:10:02. > :10:07.which will take about four hours, and I am going on from there.

:10:08. > :10:17.Heading up to Inverness, taking four hours, hopefully. But the bus is

:10:18. > :10:20.late at the moment. Travel is also proving to be a massively popular

:10:21. > :10:24.option when it comes to the great festive getaway. Here at Glasgow

:10:25. > :10:28.airport they reckon 15,000 people have been through its terminal

:10:29. > :10:32.building. And that is just today. Many have decided to escape the cold

:10:33. > :10:38.weather, in favour of somewhere warmer. Some of the popular sun

:10:39. > :10:44.spots include Alicante, Gran Canaria, Spain, Dubai. But our

:10:45. > :10:47.domestic services are also very busy, especially the flights to

:10:48. > :10:51.London, Belfast, Manchester, Bristol. There is huge demand for

:10:52. > :10:56.nearly every service which is leaving Glasgow airport over the

:10:57. > :11:00.next day or two. Elsewhere, trains were running normally here at

:11:01. > :11:05.Aberdeen station and at others around Scotland, with no major

:11:06. > :11:08.problems. That is before services start to wind down tomorrow evening

:11:09. > :11:13.before gearing up again on Boxing Day. But it was not good news

:11:14. > :11:18.everywhere. Bad weather caused major problems on the ferries. Passengers

:11:19. > :11:22.of all varieties were turned away from Clyde and Hebridean services,

:11:23. > :11:26.most of which were cancelled or faced disruption. On the roads, a

:11:27. > :11:30.last-minute flurry of Christmas shoppers only caused minor traffic

:11:31. > :11:34.issues. So the message for festive travellers seems to be, so far, so

:11:35. > :11:38.good. Not with warnings of severe weather over the next few days, the

:11:39. > :11:41.public is being urged to be vigilant before travelling.

:11:42. > :11:44.Many secondary school teachers in West Dunbartonshire are set

:11:45. > :11:46.to strike for a day early in the New Year.

:11:47. > :11:49.It is over plans for a shake-up which would cut the number

:11:50. > :11:51.of principal teachers in schools there.

:11:52. > :11:53.The strike by EIS members is scheduled for Tuesday 12th

:11:54. > :11:58.The council says the system it is moving to is similar

:11:59. > :12:01.to the one that already exists in many other areas.

:12:02. > :12:03.A Highland mansion once used for occult rituals has been badly

:12:04. > :12:09.Boleskine House on the shores of Loch Ness was owned in the 19th

:12:10. > :12:13.century by Aleister Crowley, who claimed to have

:12:14. > :12:19.The house was later owned by Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy

:12:20. > :12:24.Police are treating the death of a man in Dundee as suspicious.

:12:25. > :12:27.He was found at around three o'clock this morning in a common close

:12:28. > :12:31.He was taken to Ninewells Hospital, but later died.

:12:32. > :12:34.It is just over five months since a flood devastated homes

:12:35. > :12:36.and businesses in the small Perthshire town of Alyth.

:12:37. > :12:41.Some of those affected are still waiting to get

:12:42. > :12:46.Our reporter Andrew Anderson has been back to Alyth to find out how

:12:47. > :12:57.The Christmas lights are hanging above the Alyth burn like they do

:12:58. > :13:03.every year. It was a very different picture back in July. After hours of

:13:04. > :13:07.heavy rain, the burn burst its banks, sending a surge of water

:13:08. > :13:12.through the town. A shocking demonstration of the force of

:13:13. > :13:16.nature. This man and his daughter will not be back in their ground

:13:17. > :13:21.floor flat before Christmas. They lost just about everything in the

:13:22. > :13:25.flood. It was halfway up my door. I could not open the door to get out

:13:26. > :13:31.because if I did, it would all just flood in. So it was really, really

:13:32. > :13:35.scary looking back now, thinking, if I had not woken up, what could have

:13:36. > :13:39.happened? Local businesses like this pooches also suffered as water and

:13:40. > :13:46.mud came in through the door. The shop filled up to about 3ft. How

:13:47. > :13:51.quickly? Within half an hour. The guys in the shop had to go upstairs,

:13:52. > :13:54.they were stranded. Now it is almost back to business as usual. They are

:13:55. > :13:58.hard at work getting the Christmas orders ready. One or two wholesale

:13:59. > :14:05.customers are still closed and will not be open for a while. But you

:14:06. > :14:08.really feel quite moved by the response we have had from people who

:14:09. > :14:13.come and shop with you. There is still flood damage to be repaired in

:14:14. > :14:16.Alyth. Leering up is still going on. When it mattered, this community

:14:17. > :14:21.rallied round to help those made homeless. It was fantastic. The

:14:22. > :14:26.whole community spirit. Also the story of this event, how the

:14:27. > :14:28.community has pulled together and are still supporting one another

:14:29. > :14:32.now. A report into why this burn are still supporting one another

:14:33. > :14:36.burst its banks so spectacularly back in July concluded it was simply

:14:37. > :14:40.down to the amount of rainfall and that such an event should only

:14:41. > :14:45.happen once every 200 years. The people of Alyth will be hoping that

:14:46. > :14:49.that is true and that they can look forward to a drier 2016.

:14:50. > :14:55.Celtic manager Ronny Deila says he should be judged on results

:14:56. > :15:01.Reacting to critics - in the form of some former players,

:15:02. > :15:04.and some fans - Deila says winning all three domestic prizes

:15:05. > :15:09.He adds that he is unconcerned Aberdeen have closed

:15:10. > :15:17.to within a point at the top of the table.

:15:18. > :15:25.Taliban I feel pressure all the time. I've said many times I know

:15:26. > :15:31.why I'm here, to win trophies, and that's what I'm going to do. We have

:15:32. > :15:36.every opportunity to win a lot of the trophies this season.

:15:37. > :15:38.every opportunity to win a lot of certainly lost more goal this is

:15:39. > :15:41.every opportunity to win a lot of season but we've probably lost the

:15:42. > :15:47.ball in bad areas to lose it. There is not a great deal

:15:48. > :15:51.ball in bad areas to lose it. There responsibility and go out and

:15:52. > :15:53.ball in bad areas to lose it. There professional. And professional.

:15:54. > :15:55.She's been heralded by Scottish badminton as Scotland's best

:15:56. > :15:58.Today Imogen Bankier has announced her retirement

:15:59. > :16:02.She medalled at world, European and Commonwealth level,

:16:03. > :16:04.but says it was time to leave badminton before the Rio Olympic

:16:05. > :16:16.Looking back, she remembers the highlights fondly.

:16:17. > :16:22.Winning a medal in Glasgow was the special way to cap off my

:16:23. > :16:26.international career and to make it with Robert, my long-standing

:16:27. > :16:31.partner for such a long time. And winning a silver medal in the World

:16:32. > :16:35.Championships in 2011 was an incredible experience and something

:16:36. > :16:41.I will cherish for the rest of my life. So where do her achievements.

:16:42. > :16:49.Sit within the history of the sport? Without doubt Imogen has been our

:16:50. > :16:54.most successful female athlete ever. It must be said she's been a true

:16:55. > :17:01.inspiration to the next generation of players that are now emerging. We

:17:02. > :17:05.are very sad that she's retiring. Bankier admits disappointment with

:17:06. > :17:10.London 2012, so was she tempted to carry on for Rio? When the

:17:11. > :17:14.qualifications started it seemed quite unobtainable for me to make

:17:15. > :17:20.it. I always knew the last six months or so it wasn't going

:17:21. > :17:23.something I could take part in. So that affected my decision in the

:17:24. > :17:28.end. After retirement there are diverse challenges ahead. Her

:17:29. > :17:33.father, the Celtic chairman, has a business opportunity. I started

:17:34. > :17:38.working for the whisky shop at the beginning of this year. They are

:17:39. > :17:41.going to open a new shop in Paris, so I've been offered the opportunity

:17:42. > :17:44.to go over there. It is completely different, a different world, a

:17:45. > :17:51.different life. It is something I feel I can really get my teeth into.

:17:52. > :17:53.I'm looking forward to ellishing that. Eth

:17:54. > :17:56.I'm looking forward to ellishing that. -- relishing that.

:17:57. > :17:59.The Glasgow and Scotland forward, Rob Harley, is set to miss the 2016

:18:00. > :18:03.He injured his thumb in last weekend's win for Warriors over

:18:04. > :18:07.He's been ruled out for up to three months because of the injury.

:18:08. > :18:10.His Glasgow Warriors head coach, Gregor Townsend, says Harley will be

:18:11. > :18:12.doubly disappointed to miss out, for Scotland, and for Glasgow

:18:13. > :18:30.Obviously a blow for him. He's been if great form. It's a pity he's

:18:31. > :18:36.going be out for two or three months. He knows the timescale for

:18:37. > :18:42.his recovery. Injuries happen to every player. He's cracking jokes in

:18:43. > :18:45.the team meeting yesterday, so he seems in good spirits.

:18:46. > :18:49.We've been visiting Pantoland today in sport.

:18:50. > :18:56.Because Partick Thistle have a new celebrity fan.

:18:57. > :18:59.It's none other than David Hasselhoff, who has been

:19:00. > :19:01.seduced by the mighty Jags during his panto stint in Glasgow.

:19:02. > :19:03.John Barnes, our very own Peter Pan of sport,

:19:04. > :19:14.I'm here at the Clyde auditorium to meet Partick Thistle's latest

:19:15. > :19:21.supporter. Not him, but him. David Hasselhoff. He's Captain Hook. We've

:19:22. > :19:26.got 18 shows left. We've been supporting you guys over there,

:19:27. > :19:31.Partick Thistle. Get some of the toys to support the show. Why

:19:32. > :19:36.Partick Thistle? Because it is like Knight rider. You can make a

:19:37. > :19:41.difference in your own life you can make a difference in somebody else's

:19:42. > :19:45.life. That's what the team is about. It is not playing for a specific

:19:46. > :19:49.city but playing for your honour. To do the best you can. We came over

:19:50. > :19:54.here and they were making a joke about the worst team in the history

:19:55. > :19:59.of the world. If they win the four games in a row, the best record for

:20:00. > :20:02.40 years. That's strange. It is a wonderful thing when you can come

:20:03. > :20:06.over and draw that energy. You are the lucky mascot. You know what, I

:20:07. > :20:11.am. You know so much about Partick Thistle. Who is the manager? Alan

:20:12. > :20:19.Archibald. When did they last win the League Cup? 1971. There we are,

:20:20. > :20:25.definitely a Partick Thistle. They've been around since 1786. I've

:20:26. > :20:30.been around since 1876. Knight Rider was real for me. When I got it I

:20:31. > :20:35.called my dad and said dad, I've got the greatest show in the world. And

:20:36. > :20:40.we are still living in dream. And with that it is back to our own

:20:41. > :20:48.little Tinkerbell in the studio. Well, thank you very much to John

:20:49. > :20:52.and "the Hoff." Have you had the Sportsnight out early or what? We

:20:53. > :20:54.have. Merry Christmas from all of Sport to all of you. Thank you very

:20:55. > :20:57.much. It may be just two sleeps

:20:58. > :21:00.until Christmas, but Santa and his reindeer have taken some
