blow, with the announcement that BP is to cut a fifth of its | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
The company says it's having to lose 600 posts because of the impact | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
of the recent plunge in the oil price. | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
In the past 50 years we have grown from an office of | :00:24. | :00:39. | |
In the past 50 years we have grown 4000 false up BP is still a big | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
player in the North Sea. --. BP is still a big player in the North Sea. | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
They insist it will be there for the future. But today workers in | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
Aberdeen are briefed on a new round of job cuts in all operations, staff | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
and contractors will lose their jobs by the end of next year. BP would | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
not speak publicly. The industry body said companies, like | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
not speak publicly. The industry are cutting back cloth to market | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
conditions. It is clearly a personal shock for all those involved. What | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
is does is reflect the choices many are making across the sector in | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
response to a dramatic fall in prices in the last year. The fall in | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
oil prices is great news for filling up but not for a company like BP | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
trying to make a profit or break even on a barrel of oil. The | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
business of oil is political and economic. It is also important to | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
note and welcome the BP continued commitment to the North Sea. They | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
have reiterated today the investment plans in capital investment and | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
operational investment in the North Sea this year and they have said | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
they see a long-term future for its business in the North Sea. We need | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
to continue to work with the industry as the Chancellor has done | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
to make the North Sea as attractive a prospect as Rosenborg to carry on | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
investment. BP will invest 4 billion dollars in this year in the North | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
Sea and insist it is still very much part of its long-term future plans. | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
The Scottish serial killer Robert Black, who was serving a life | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
sentence for the murders of four children from across the UK | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
in the 1980s, has died of natural causes in prison in Northern | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
Robert Black was born in Grangemouth and as was serving 12 live sentences | :02:28. | :02:41. | |
for murdering a four schoolgirls between 1981 and 1986. He uses job | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
as a delivery driver to abduct and kill them. The victims were | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
nine-year-old Jennifer khadi from Northern Ireland, killed in 1981. In | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
1982 he killed seven Maxwell from Northumberland after snatching her | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
in the Scottish Borders. -- seven-year-old. Caroline Hogg | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
disappeared from her home in Portobello near Edinburgh and was | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
later found dead in Leicestershire. He adopted Sarah Harper from Leeds | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
in 1986. He was eventually arrested in 1990 when police stopped his van | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
and found another victim, a six-year-old girl bound and gagged | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
in the back of his vehicle. The child had been kidnapped at a | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
village show in the Borders. He was convicted for the murders of Susan, | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
Caroline and Sarah in 1994. He was convicted of Jennifer's murder in | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
2011. The Department of Justice have confirmed a 68-year-old prisoner has | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
died at the prison. The death is not being treated as suspicious. He was | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
also considered a suspect by police in the unsolved murders and | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
disappearances of at least two others, including Jeanette Tait from | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
Devon, who died in 1978. In 2005 he was arrested in connection with that | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
but there was not enough evidence to prosecute. | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
Travellers at one of Scotland's railway busiest stations are facing | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
The main tunnel serving Glasgow's Queen Street station | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
is to close for 20 weeks from March until August while the | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
A view things can get the travellers more annoyed than disruption on the | :04:18. | :04:35. | |
trains. -- a few things. It is one of the busiest stations. Tens of | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
thousands of people use it daily. Today was the news the tunnel would | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
be closing for 20 weeks between March the 20th and the 8th of | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
August. All the trains here on the high level will be diverted to the | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
low-level and all services, some others, they will be diverted to | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
Glasgow Central. That'll mean changes to timetables and longer | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
journey time. For an example, customers travelling from Edinburgh | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
to Glasgow face journeys of 70 minutes. This is about improving | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
services and working on the tunnel to make them better. I have spoken | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
to the boss of ScotRail. He said it would all be worth it in the end. We | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
are equipping it with capacity to take electric trains. It has a real | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
benefit for customers. When we have electric trains on the central belt, | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
journey times will be about ten minutes faster. About 45% faster | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
between Edinburgh and Glasgow and 30% more capacity. I spoke to some | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
commuters earlier and they are not thrilled with what lies ahead. The | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
rail company have started a big public information campaign handing | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
out leaflets here today and posting the information on the changes | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
online. The main message from ScotRail is that it is open for | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
business as usual in this period of disruption but it might take a | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
little bit longer to get where you are going. | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
The transport minister is urging all local authorities to carry out | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
roadside emissions testing to try to reduce air pollution | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
It follows a BBC Scotland investigation which showed that less | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
than half of the country's councils are using their powers designed | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
to take the dirtiest vehicles off the roads. | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
The Director General of the BBC, Tony Hall, has promised "more power" | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
for BBC Scotland to control its future. | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
Giving evidence to MSPs, he stressed he was keen to see | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
a vibrant BBC Scotland contributing to wider output. | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
But he faced sceptical questions over funding and accountability. | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
This from our Political Editor, Brian Taylor. | :06:40. | :06:53. | |
Programmes for Scotland, like River city, means Scottish investment and | :06:54. | :07:02. | |
jobs. But how about this? Waterloo Road, transferred from Rochdale. It | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
became a Scottish show and critics called it left and ship. Programmes | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
with little authentic basis in Scotland. -- lift and shift. | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
Evidence was given as part of a review of the BBC charter here. In | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
2014-15 the licence fee raised 323 million in Scotland. TV, radio and | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
other output in Scotland cost 108.2 million. Programme for the network | :07:32. | :07:39. | |
made in Scotland cost 82.3 million. Leaving ?132.5 million contributing | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
to other UK programmes and services available to Scotland. The BBC | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
managers were questioned closely on the notion of new Scottish | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
television and radio channels. MS peas were told they were only | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
early-stage options later overtaken. -- members. One of the options we | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
looked at were whether we should have a second service on Radio | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
Scotland, what was the balance of advantage of a radio service against | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
a television service and how you got to the various audiences. The | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
director-general said a review of commissioning could help Scottish | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
shows make the network and a review of news would reflect the change in | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
UK and maybe involve a Scottish six, a television programme with | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
Scottish, UK and global news. I want the director for Scotland to have | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
more power to decide the services the people of Scotland want for | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
Scotland. I also want the director to have a powerful voice in | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
determining what the BBC does as a whole. The culture Secretary welcome | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
these reviews but wanted to go further. I think it is time for BBC | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
Scotland to be empowered and resource to be bold and creative for | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
Scotland. The government is proposing a federalised BBC allowing | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
BBC Scotland is to control decision-making in Scotland and I | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
stress, independent of government. There was close questioning but also | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
potential consensus. I think the committee on to Mutley wanted a | :09:13. | :09:20. | |
positive note, urging the BBC -- the committee wanted a positive note, | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
urging the BBC to transfer powers to Scotland. The BBC are being urged to | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
act. Now, of all the tributes made | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
after the news of David Bowie's death, one made in Glasgow seems | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
to have captured the imagination. It came from the organist | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
at Kelvingrove Art Gallery, who broke away from his usual | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
repertoire and played Life on Mars. It was filmed on a mobile phone | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
and so far it's been viewed by more I was not having a great day. When | :09:42. | :09:57. | |
that happens I usually take myself off here. I wandered around and that | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
is when the organ music started. MUSIC: Life On Mars... I knew I was | :10:01. | :10:14. | |
listening to something very special. Then I brought my phone out and I | :10:15. | :10:25. | |
filmed it. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up. I immediately | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
loaded it up onto my Facebook. MUSIC: Life On Mars... The reaction | :10:28. | :10:48. | |
I have had from people all over the world on private messages were | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
saying how touched they were. I feel so pleased and proud to be part of | :10:54. | :11:06. | |
it. The crescendo at the end... Just brilliant. I think David Bowie would | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
be very pleased with that. Fitting indeed. Now the weather. It | :11:11. | :11:23. | |
is a cold and frosty night with clearing skies. Captured nicely | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
earlier on looking across the river by one weather watcher. As they | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
continue clearing the temperature will plummet. Still a view shell is | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
holding on. The Met office has issued a be aware warning. Anywhere | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
across the mainland. It will be cold across the UK. Towns and cities in | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
low single digits. In the countryside, colder. Central | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
Highlands, -5, minus six. A cold start tomorrow. Frosty with some | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
showers, largely dry but actually really quite sunny. The clearance of | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
the skies will take a while. At six o'clock you might not clear the | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
windscreen but buys nine o'clock, more than likely. -- by nine | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
o'clock. A windy start in Orkney and Shetland. Pretty wet in Shetland and | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
staying that way for most of Wednesday. For most of the mainland, | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
plenty of sunshine, just a little fly in the ointment in the | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
south-west, clouding over with outbreaks of rain. Connected with | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
this weather system just across these coastal paths, particularly | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
through Wales, down Devon and Cornwall and Northern Ireland. A | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
cold day in Scotland but interesting heading into Wednesday evening. This | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
system sweeping its way and bringing outbreaks of rain and potentially | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
snow not only to the hills but low levels as well. The northern extent, | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
open to sundown. We are watching it closely. Maybe some centimetres. | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
Southern parts, yes. You will see snow. Low-pressure clearing away. | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
High-pressure edging in. Dry and finance sunshine and fairly cold | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
northerly winds writhing in showers and once again, wintry and low | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
levels and quite fast across the mainland. End of the week, Friday, | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
Saturday, finally clearing, high-pressure building and a lot of | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
dry conditions, sunshine, but it will be cold. That is the forecast | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
for now. Our next update is during Breakfast | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
at 6:25 tomorrow morning. But from everyone on the late team | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
here in Glasgow, good night. | :13:29. | :13:31. |
