The men were found by two other climbers in Stob Coire nam Beith

:00:13.:00:18.

A team involving Glencoe Mountain Rescue

:00:19.:00:20.

and the police recovered the bodies last night at seven o'clock.

:00:21.:00:24.

It's not clear why they fell, but there were no signs

:00:25.:00:27.

The guys were roped together so it is possible they were still on the

:00:28.:00:39.

crime but they have clearly fall fallen some distance. My information

:00:40.:00:45.

is that they have been killed by the fall. They had all the relevant

:00:46.:00:50.

equipment and were very well equipped, there was nothing to

:00:51.:00:53.

suggest that they were ill equipped or inexperienced.

:00:54.:00:54.

A murder inquiry's underway in Glasgow following the death

:00:55.:00:57.

Jamie Johnstone was found seriously injured outside a flat

:00:58.:01:00.

on Balbeggie Road in the Sandyhills area of the city yesterday evening.

:01:01.:01:04.

The most polluted street in Scotland is St John's Road,

:01:05.:01:13.

in the Corstorphine area of Edinburgh.

:01:14.:01:14.

It tops a list compiled by the environmental campaigners

:01:15.:01:16.

The group says air pollution - much of it caused by traffic -

:01:17.:01:27.

is responsible for a public health crisis.

:01:28.:01:29.

This is St John's Road in Edinburgh. It is like many other streets in

:01:30.:01:40.

Scotland. Many people live here. It has been given the unfortunate title

:01:41.:01:45.

of Scotland's most polluted road. It is a claim made by environmental

:01:46.:01:54.

groups Friends Of The Earth Scotland. It links pollution to

:01:55.:02:03.

illnesses like asthma. If you get this pollution day in day out, you

:02:04.:02:07.

are more likely to get an asthma attack or a stroke, or the asthma

:02:08.:02:14.

may be worsened. It is responsible for many deaths in Scotland every

:02:15.:02:18.

year. What do the workers make of that? I come your every week and

:02:19.:02:32.

because of the pollution in personal thing, I never feel healthy. I have

:02:33.:02:38.

bronchitis. It doesn't affect me at all. Edinburgh was not the only area

:02:39.:02:45.

of concern. Glasgow's Hope Street was one of the most polluted areas,

:02:46.:02:52.

as well as some street in Perth and Aberdeen. Tackling the problem

:02:53.:02:55.

requires money. Edinburgh's transport convener says 97% of the

:02:56.:03:00.

street any city that air quality tests. They argue that bigger

:03:01.:03:03.

improvements need more tolerant backing.

:03:04.:03:03.

improvements need more tolerant I have made it very clear that we

:03:04.:03:12.

are talking about a strategy and Jones of low emission. As local

:03:13.:03:18.

governments, Renee Gold resources. The Government has allocated ?3

:03:19.:03:21.

million to tackle air pollution. Meanwhile, campaigners argue that

:03:22.:03:25.

the problem is now at the heart of a major health crisis. Andrew Black,

:03:26.:03:28.

Andrew Black, Reporting Scotland, Bra.

:03:29.:03:32.

A temporary road - built after a section of the A93

:03:33.:03:35.

was washed away by flood water from the River Dee -

:03:36.:03:37.

The section near Crathie means motorists heading between Braemar

:03:38.:03:41.

and the rest of Aberdeenshire no longer have to take a 120 mile

:03:42.:03:44.

A section of road has been built on adjacent fields.

:03:45.:03:48.

The typical pay of a Scottish worker has risen above that of England

:03:49.:03:52.

for the first time ever, according to a new study.

:03:53.:03:54.

The Resolution Foundation, which focusses on the jobs market,

:03:55.:03:56.

says the difference of eight pence an hour

:03:57.:03:58.

is because Scotland weathered the recession more strongly.

:03:59.:04:05.

The General Secretary of the Unite union says it's time

:04:06.:04:07.

for Scottish Labour to regain the trust of ordinary

:04:08.:04:09.

Len McCluskey's comments are a bid to stem the drift

:04:10.:04:13.

of his members in Scotland to the SNP.

:04:14.:04:14.

Speaking at a policy conference in Clydebank,

:04:15.:04:16.

he also reiterated the union's support for Labour.

:04:17.:04:26.

The challenge is enormous. It makes Ben Nevis look like Mount Everest.

:04:27.:04:32.

In terms of the challenge that they face. We will be supporting Jeromy

:04:33.:04:46.

and Kezia because they offer something different.

:04:47.:04:47.

Despite the union's backing for Labour, the First Minister told

:04:48.:04:50.

delegates she valued her party's good relationship with Unite

:04:51.:04:52.

and welcomed the union's offer of "critical friendship."

:04:53.:04:54.

Nicola Sturgeon also pledged to fight the Conservative's Trade

:04:55.:04:56.

Union Bill, which she described as "an attack on basic human rights."

:04:57.:04:59.

On this issue, and I will make this point very, very strongly. On this

:05:00.:05:06.

issue, Labour should not be attacking the SMB and the SNP should

:05:07.:05:10.

not be attacking Labour. We should be standing united.

:05:11.:05:12.

Football, in the Premiership, Aberdeen have closed the gap

:05:13.:05:15.

Aberdeen were a man short for over an hour after Mark Reynolds was sent

:05:16.:05:22.

They came from behind with a penalty from Adam Rooney,

:05:23.:05:25.

and another two goals from Shay Logan.

:05:26.:05:27.

In the Championship, Blair Alston scored from the centre

:05:28.:05:29.

of the box in front of a home crowd, just after the interval.

:05:30.:05:32.

Jason Cummings tapped in to level for the visitors after 73 minutes.

:05:33.:05:35.

That means Falkirk and Hibs remain locked on points,

:05:36.:05:39.

Let's get the weather prospects for this evening and the start

:05:40.:05:45.

It is still cold. It is looking like a wintry weekend. There is a

:05:46.:06:00.

widespread risk of ice. There is a yellow be aware warning from the Met

:06:01.:06:06.

office. We are introducing a band of snow from the west. It will add to

:06:07.:06:10.

those issues of slippery surfaces averages for most of this below

:06:11.:06:14.

freezing. Becoming a week at my elder throughout the night. Rain,

:06:15.:06:23.

sleet and snow across the country. Risk of ice in Scotland and northern

:06:24.:06:31.

England to. If you're heading out, the girdle. Temperature is not far

:06:32.:06:34.

off freezing Southern will still be a risk of ice. The north and central

:06:35.:06:43.

belt filter have snow falling. Up into the Southern Highlands and

:06:44.:06:49.

Southern Aberdeenshire. North Yorkshire, that is where we will see

:06:50.:06:53.

the rest of the sunshine tomorrow. It will be wet and wintry into the

:06:54.:06:59.

afternoon. Elsewhere, across the UK, a bit milder in Northern Ireland but

:07:00.:07:05.

stand with it because of rain. The best of the sunshine south of the

:07:06.:07:08.

border toward East Anglia and the south-east. It will feel cold

:07:09.:07:12.

despite that sunshine. Looking ahead into next week, well, starting cold,

:07:13.:07:19.

still some sleet and snow at first. It will gradually Jamal and by the

:07:20.:07:22.

end of the week, we are back to wet and windy. That is the forecast.

:07:23.:07:24.
