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

The two climbers who died in a follow plan: have been named. It was

:00:00.:00:21.

dreaded all these years that one day we would have to carry one of around

off the hill. about Muslims see him

banned from the UK? As MPs discuss that question,

bad news for rail passengers - the main line between Glasgow

:00:31.:00:38.

and the Scottish border will now not open until March, while repairs

:00:39.:00:41.

to storm damage continue. Working with the land -

:00:42.:00:44.

we look at natural forms And we hear from Andy Murray just

:00:45.:00:46.

hours from his Australian Open debut and only weeks away

:00:47.:00:54.

from becoming a dad. Friends of the two climbers who died

:00:55.:01:10.

in an accident in Glencoe at the weekend have been

:01:11.:01:17.

paying tribute to the men. They've been named as 34-year-old

:01:18.:01:19.

Simon Davidson from Edinburgh, and Joe Smith, who was 23

:01:20.:01:22.

and originally from Lancashire. It was here in Glencoe where Joe

:01:23.:01:35.

Smith and Simon Davidson went climbing together on Saturday. They

:01:36.:01:40.

never came back. Taken by the mountains they loved. Joe Smith was

:01:41.:01:47.

just 23. He had been a member of the Glencoe Mountain rescue team. We

:01:48.:01:52.

were slightly apprehensive because one of our team members, Joe Smith,

:01:53.:01:58.

his vehicle was in the car park. He is a fast, good climber. We would

:01:59.:02:03.

have expected him off the hill. Higher up into the curry we were

:02:04.:02:06.

meeting the other parties returning in the dark. He wasn't there. This

:02:07.:02:13.

is something I have always dreaded all these years, that one day we

:02:14.:02:17.

would have to carry one of our own people off the hill. Simon Davidson

:02:18.:02:24.

was 34. He lived near Edinburgh. I had Simon as a student on a Ben

:02:25.:02:29.

Nevis ice climbing course in 2000. Even at the time I was impressed

:02:30.:02:34.

with his enthusiasm. And his commitments to the mountains and

:02:35.:02:40.

climbing. He was a very talented climber and mountaineer, which makes

:02:41.:02:44.

it all the harder that one of your own is taken. The visibility today

:02:45.:02:48.

is poor. You cannot see just how high the mountains are. There is

:02:49.:02:56.

where the men were found. They were roped together. It is thought they

:02:57.:03:03.

were caught up in another lunch. -- in an avalanche. These mountains are

:03:04.:03:06.

beautiful but deceptively dangerous, especially at this time of the year.

:03:07.:03:11.

In January three years ago four people were killed in an avalanche.

:03:12.:03:16.

It hostile, beautiful but challenging place, and that is one

:03:17.:03:20.

of the reasons why we go and do it. You can never take away all the

:03:21.:03:26.

risks. You can make Judd -- good judgment calls. Both of these young

:03:27.:03:29.

men had done some training and they were confident in their

:03:30.:03:33.

decision-making. Sometimes things do just go wrong. The tragic accident

:03:34.:03:38.

on Saturday once again shows how this spectacular landscape can be so

:03:39.:03:39.

cruel. MPs have been debating

:03:40.:03:42.

whether the American presidential hopeful Donald Trump should

:03:43.:03:44.

be banned from the UK, after he called for all

:03:45.:03:47.

Muslims to be denied entry Mr Trump made the comments

:03:48.:03:49.

during at a Republican Party rally, prompting nearly 600,000 people

:03:50.:03:54.

here to sign a petition calling for him to be prevented

:03:55.:03:57.

from coming to Britain. Here's our Westminster

:03:58.:04:01.

correspondent, David Porter. He is no shrinking violet, whether

:04:02.:04:13.

he is flying into one of his Scottish golf courses, or on the

:04:14.:04:20.

election stump in the United States. Donald Trump does not do

:04:21.:04:24.

understated. His reputation of shooting from the lip, boasted by

:04:25.:04:30.

pronouncements following the recent jihadist shooting in California.

:04:31.:04:35.

Donald J Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of

:04:36.:04:40.

Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives

:04:41.:04:44.

can figure out what the hell is going on. After those comments,

:04:45.:04:48.

calls for him to be banned going on. After those comments,

:04:49.:04:52.

UK. Over the years former friends have changed their views of him. My

:04:53.:04:59.

opinion is yes, I would probably banned Donald, because I think it

:05:00.:05:04.

would do him some good. He wants to ban all Muslims from the United

:05:05.:05:07.

States, I want to ban all Donald Trump is from Scotland.

:05:08.:05:18.

Rather than combating the serious issue of international terrorism, Mr

:05:19.:05:25.

Trump's statement has promoted the twisted narrative promoted by Daesh

:05:26.:05:29.

that pits the West against the Muslim faith. We should agree the

:05:30.:05:34.

extreme things that this man says by our own reasonableness and arrow and

:05:35.:05:39.

hospitality. We should greet him with courtesy if he comes here. But

:05:40.:05:43.

we should not build him up by our attacks.

:05:44.:05:49.

For Scotland, of course, there is an added dimensional. Donald Trump

:05:50.:05:54.

For Scotland, of course, there is an two championship golf courses. The

:05:55.:05:56.

threat? Future investment in Scotland will be jeopardised if

:05:57.:06:00.

there is a ban. Of course he is going to cease

:06:01.:06:05.

investing. There are several hundred million pounds worth of investment

:06:06.:06:08.

yet to happen in Aberdeen and Turnberry. Of course the man will

:06:09.:06:11.

not continue to pour his personal wealth into a country that has

:06:12.:06:17.

treated him so badly. For Mr Trump, business as usual today, out on the

:06:18.:06:23.

campaign trail. The man nicknamed the Donald is unlikely to be too

:06:24.:06:27.

worried by what happens at Westminster. His supporters say he

:06:28.:06:31.

means what he says and what you see is what you get.

:06:32.:06:33.

And David Porter joins us now from Westminster.

:06:34.:06:37.

They have been debating the issue but they will not get a chance to

:06:38.:06:44.

vote on it? No. The debate will conclude in an hour. Normally then

:06:45.:06:49.

MPs going to the division lobbies to vote. That is not happening because

:06:50.:06:53.

the debate is not actually happening on the floor of the House of

:06:54.:06:57.

Commons. It means they will just basically note they have had the

:06:58.:07:02.

debate. As regards any moves to ban Donald Trump, that would have to

:07:03.:07:06.

come from the UK government and specifically the Home Secretary. As

:07:07.:07:11.

this just been a case of MPs letting off steam? In one respect, yes. Also

:07:12.:07:16.

I think MPs will be pleased they have had this debate. More than half

:07:17.:07:20.

a million people called for this debate to take place. And certainly

:07:21.:07:25.

as MPs have been discussing, they have been making their views loud

:07:26.:07:30.

and clear. Nobody has agreed with Donald Trump. Where the disagreement

:07:31.:07:36.

as come is whether he should be allowed to make those comments. A

:07:37.:07:40.

number of MPs say he should not be allowed into the UK. The majority

:07:41.:07:45.

perhaps saying he should be allowed to come. He may be a future

:07:46.:07:49.

president of the United States. Then MPs and others could say to him, you

:07:50.:07:54.

are wrong, and they could show him why he is wrong.

:07:55.:07:59.

David, thank you. They will be more on the debate tonight.

:08:00.:08:03.

The main west coast rail line between Glasgow and Carlisle

:08:04.:08:05.

is to remain closed for at least a month longer

:08:06.:08:07.

The route's been shut since Storm Frank caused damage

:08:08.:08:12.

to the Lamington Viaduct near Abington in South Lanarkshire.

:08:13.:08:15.

The line was originally due to re-open on the first of February

:08:16.:08:18.

- now engineers say repairs will take more time than expected.

:08:19.:08:21.

It is one of Britain's's busiest railway lines but it hasn't closed

:08:22.:08:35.

for two weeks. Today Network Rail announced it will be shot for six

:08:36.:08:42.

more. -- close. Engineers are driving steel rods into newly poured

:08:43.:08:47.

concrete. 300 cubic metres. It is this that will hold the bridge up.

:08:48.:08:52.

During Storm Frank, the River Clyde swelled to three times its normal

:08:53.:08:56.

size, washing away the Victorian foundations from one of the central

:08:57.:09:00.

supports. But the damage was worse than first thought. Once we got

:09:01.:09:06.

proper access to the side, the structure was in such a powerless

:09:07.:09:09.

condition we had to impose an exclusion zone, and it was only

:09:10.:09:13.

after the first 12 days we could gain the access we needed to

:09:14.:09:17.

properly assess the damage. Another significant development was the

:09:18.:09:21.

collapse of another part of the structure which is yet to be

:09:22.:09:25.

assessed. For passengers travelling from Glasgow to England, there are

:09:26.:09:32.

replacement buses. Network Rail say it should only add an hour to your

:09:33.:09:37.

journey. The passengers are aware of the alternative services they can

:09:38.:09:42.

avail of. Passengers travelling along the West Coast mainline can

:09:43.:09:49.

travel via Dumfries. Buses will take passengers from Lockerbie as well as

:09:50.:09:55.

Edinburgh. Changeover at Carlisle. Weather permitting, over the next

:09:56.:10:00.

six weeks the railway will be realigned and the track re-laid.

:10:01.:10:04.

Since the damage was discovered, engineers have been working 24 hours

:10:05.:10:09.

a day, seven days a week. This is now stable. It is the one next to it

:10:10.:10:12.

that is causing the problem. You're watching Reporting

:10:13.:10:14.

Scotland from the BBC. we look at natural forms

:10:15.:10:22.

of flood prevention work. In sport, despite reports

:10:23.:10:26.

of tennis match fixing, Andy Murray tells us he has

:10:27.:10:28.

other things on his mind. And the new man at Celtic -

:10:29.:10:32.

defender, designer, fashion We meet the Great Dane who's

:10:33.:10:35.

looking to get Celtic back strutting their stuff

:10:36.:10:42.

in the Champions League. Scotland's most senior

:10:43.:10:49.

nurse has apologised, after criticising the rude behaviour

:10:50.:10:51.

of some nurses in an online blog. Professor Fiona McQueen,

:10:52.:10:54.

who is Scotland's chief nurse and a key Scottish Government

:10:55.:10:58.

advisor, said she herself had witnessed poor care

:10:59.:11:01.

from nurses in the past year. What's the background

:11:02.:11:04.

to this, Eleanor? This is an online blog for the New

:11:05.:11:17.

Year that Professor McQueen Road looking ahead to the year ahead. She

:11:18.:11:21.

appealed for professionalism having witnessed herself some examples of

:11:22.:11:28.

poor care. She says nurses and midwives should put patients first.

:11:29.:11:31.

They should not go for a break when relatives need to speak to them when

:11:32.:11:36.

meals are being served. She has also seen examples of outstanding care.

:11:37.:11:40.

She wants to make sure everyone is meeting those high standards. Most

:11:41.:11:46.

nurses and midwives provide exquisite care almost all of the

:11:47.:11:49.

time. By that time is the profession is let down by one or two people who

:11:50.:11:54.

have a nonprofessional element to their behaviour. And my wishes about

:11:55.:11:59.

complete professionalism and therefore, for me, this might just

:12:00.:12:04.

be the year that we take things forwards and make sure every patient

:12:05.:12:08.

gets exquisite care every time. What sort of a reaction has there

:12:09.:12:13.

been? They have certainly divided opinion. There has been criticism of

:12:14.:12:19.

her remarks by Unison. And also by some nursing staff who say this as

:12:20.:12:23.

come at a time when they do moralise and exhausted after a busy Christmas

:12:24.:12:27.

period. Unison has demanded a formal apology. Professor McQueen has

:12:28.:12:32.

apologised if anybody has taken offence but she does stand by her

:12:33.:12:38.

comments, which she says were made when she saw behaviour from staff

:12:39.:12:42.

when they were not overstaffed or overly busy. She has received

:12:43.:12:47.

support from some sectors of the profession and from patients who

:12:48.:12:50.

point out that if she released -- receives this level of criticism for

:12:51.:12:54.

pointing out poor care, what hope do they have? The professor wants to

:12:55.:12:59.

create the conditions to support nursing but she also says this

:13:00.:13:03.

conversation needs to happen. She has certainly provoked a

:13:04.:13:04.

conversation. A Holyrood committee is calling

:13:05.:13:05.

for Scotland to be removed from the scope of

:13:06.:13:08.

the Trade Union Bill. MSPs on the Devolution Committee say

:13:09.:13:10.

the proposed reforms The Scottish secretary,

:13:11.:13:12.

David Mundell, says the UK government will "look

:13:13.:13:16.

closely" at their concerns. Here's our political

:13:17.:13:19.

correspondent, Glenn Campbell. The law on strikes and other union

:13:20.:13:33.

activities is not devolved. It is for Westminster to decide. The

:13:34.:13:38.

majority on Hollywood's devolution committee want the Conservative

:13:39.:13:42.

government to exempt Scotland from the changes they propose. There is a

:13:43.:13:47.

widespread opposition to this in Scotland and therefore we think

:13:48.:13:50.

Scotland should be removed from the territorial extent. 90% of the

:13:51.:13:57.

public service work in devolved areas. There was a rally against the

:13:58.:14:06.

bill in Glasgow last month. Both the Scottish government and local

:14:07.:14:10.

government employers oppose the legislation. The trade union Bill

:14:11.:14:16.

abolishes check off in the public sector, preventing employers

:14:17.:14:21.

collecting union subscriptions. It regulates facility time, giving

:14:22.:14:26.

ministers powers to curb time off for union activity. And it requires

:14:27.:14:31.

a minimum 50% turnout for strike ballots to be valid. No matter what

:14:32.:14:34.

Holyrood says about the rules on strike ballots, UK ministers are

:14:35.:14:39.

determined that there are reforms will apply across Britain. But might

:14:40.:14:45.

they be prepared to exempt Scotland from the changes to check off and

:14:46.:14:52.

facility time? The UK government has not ruled that out. We will look

:14:53.:14:58.

closely at the report. The first minister has raised these issues

:14:59.:15:01.

with the Prime Minister at their meeting at the end of last year. At

:15:02.:15:05.

that point the Prime Minister undertook to look at the issues that

:15:06.:15:10.

had been raised. He is still considering them. If he rejects the

:15:11.:15:16.

pleas of Nicola Sturgeon and others, the First Minister has made clear

:15:17.:15:18.

she will not voluntarily implement the new trade union laws.

:15:19.:15:21.

A look at other stories from across the country.

:15:22.:15:24.

The public investigation into what went wrong

:15:25.:15:26.

with Edinburgh's trams has cost ?2.1 million so far.

:15:27.:15:31.

The inquiry, chaired by Lord Hardie, began in June 2014, but is yet

:15:32.:15:35.

Investigators are looking at more than six million documents related

:15:36.:15:42.

A temporary road to replace part of the A93 which collapsed

:15:43.:15:48.

during the recent floods, has opened to all traffic.

:15:49.:15:51.

A section of the carriageway near Crathie in Aberdeenshire,

:15:52.:15:54.

was washed away by the River Dee, following Storm Frank.

:15:55.:15:56.

The new route means motorists commuting to and from Braemar no

:15:57.:15:59.

The new section has been built over nearby fields.

:16:00.:16:11.

The change has been phenomenal during the event and we will take

:16:12.:16:17.

time to decide exactly where the road has to go back to. It may not

:16:18.:16:24.

be back in its original line. We will have discussions to make sure

:16:25.:16:26.

we do the right thing in the long term.

:16:27.:16:27.

The Open Championship at St Andrews gave Scotland a ?140 million

:16:28.:16:30.

economic boost last year - a record amount for a golfing

:16:31.:16:32.

The R say spectator admissions topped more than 237,000 over

:16:33.:16:37.

the course of the event, with around 26,000 sports fans

:16:38.:16:40.

flocking to the Fife town from overseas.

:16:41.:16:48.

The family of a missing Dunbartonshire man have issued

:16:49.:16:50.

an appeal for members of the public to help trace him.

:16:51.:16:53.

Bill Miller, who's 62, hasn't been since the seventh

:16:54.:16:55.

of January, when he left a pub in Alexandria.

:16:56.:16:59.

Police say they don't believe there's any criminality involved.

:17:00.:17:09.

We have used helicopter extensively, and underwater search teams, because

:17:10.:17:15.

of a path he took that goes along the side of the river. We have had

:17:16.:17:22.

several challenges of doing searches around that area. We have also

:17:23.:17:26.

carried out door-to-door interviews and CCTV. We have done significant

:17:27.:17:29.

searching for Billy. As many people know all too well,

:17:30.:17:33.

flooding has already caused misery across parts of

:17:34.:17:36.

Scotland this winter. The Scottish Government's flood risk

:17:37.:17:38.

strategy is seeing millions of pounds being invested

:17:39.:17:41.

in flood protection schemes, But projects are also underway

:17:42.:17:43.

miles away from towns in a bid to deal with flood water

:17:44.:17:47.

long before it gets anywhere This is one of the first sites we

:17:48.:18:02.

worked on. The water was poker straight, running along the line of

:18:03.:18:07.

the pylons, and it was heavily pending by flood embankments and we

:18:08.:18:10.

have taken out the embankment is, put the river on a different path.

:18:11.:18:16.

Natural flood management, using the land to direct the rainfall,

:18:17.:18:20.

planting, divert in, making the ground so cup the water, anything to

:18:21.:18:23.

slow the flow. Agricultural and urban development means we have lost

:18:24.:18:28.

the natural features like weapons and woodlands and things like that.

:18:29.:18:32.

What we are doing here is restoring the features, things like planting

:18:33.:18:36.

trees in upper limits and putting bending back into the rivers and

:18:37.:18:40.

taking up flood banks so the river can expand into the flood plain. The

:18:41.:18:44.

point of natural flood management is to slow the flow of water long

:18:45.:18:49.

before it gets anywhere near a town or city. Some projects like growing

:18:50.:18:53.

trees will take up to a decade to have any effect. Others, like these

:18:54.:18:57.

small debris dams will have an immediate effect. Flood protection

:18:58.:19:02.

schemes take years to develop. This one in Selkirk is costing more than

:19:03.:19:08.

?30 million. Here it also incorporates natural flood

:19:09.:19:10.

management alongside modern engineering. The burn itself has

:19:11.:19:15.

been re-meandered through the field to slow it down and add capacity.

:19:16.:19:20.

It's a good example of natural flood management but it works in parallel

:19:21.:19:24.

with natural engineering methods. We have an earth embankment, the outer

:19:25.:19:31.

flood defence protection, so when the burn comes out of the bag and

:19:32.:19:34.

starts to flood this area it will be contained. Monitoring has just

:19:35.:19:43.

begun. The data will be closely scrutinised but similar schemes are

:19:44.:19:44.

already planned around the country. at the moment hasn't he,

:19:45.:19:47.

Rhona? As reports of match-fixing in tennis

:19:48.:19:53.

overshadow the start of the Australian Open,

:19:54.:19:55.

Andy Murray admits he's been His wife, Kim, is due to give birth

:19:56.:19:58.

to their first child next month, and thoughts of becoming a Dad

:19:59.:20:04.

are never far away. But more immediately,

:20:05.:20:08.

his focus is on the start Kheredine Idessane

:20:09.:20:12.

sends this report. Keeping cool in the 36 degrees

:20:13.:20:28.

Melbourne heat. A priority not just for the fans, but for players as

:20:29.:20:33.

well, especially those from Scotland. Even the Australians

:20:34.:20:37.

jostle for a glance of Andy Murray, while his own fans have a message

:20:38.:20:42.

for his wife. We are all mothers, so kids come first was that she will

:20:43.:20:45.

hang in there. We are confident he will be here and he will win. He has

:20:46.:20:50.

said very openly that if the baby comes during the Australian open, he

:20:51.:20:55.

will be on the first flight back to be with Kim, which is quite right.

:20:56.:21:01.

We are also trying to guess how all this is affecting the second seed. I

:21:02.:21:07.

can concentrate very well on my tennis, but I think everyone who has

:21:08.:21:11.

been in the position of becoming a parent in a few weeks, beforehand

:21:12.:21:15.

they will think about it quite a lot! It's a pretty big thing that's

:21:16.:21:20.

the grounds. The first day of play in Melbourne has been dominated by a

:21:42.:21:45.

reaction to a BBC investigation into match fixing with tennis authorities

:21:46.:21:50.

adamant there has been no attempt to suppress allegations of specific

:21:51.:22:02.

players. Andy Murray wants to get his Australian open campaign off to

:22:03.:22:05.

the best possible start. It all gets underway tomorrow evening.

:22:06.:22:09.

Celtic's new defender Erik Sviatchenko says he opted

:22:10.:22:10.

for the Scottish champions ahead of clubs from some

:22:11.:22:13.

The "art of defending" should be second nature

:22:14.:22:15.

Jonathan Sutherland's been abstracting the details

:22:16.:22:20.

of Sviatchenko's colourful background.

:22:21.:22:31.

Hoping to warm the hearts of Celtic fans, new defender, Erik

:22:32.:22:39.

Sviatchenko. Signed from Danish champions FC Midtjylland, four

:22:40.:22:42.

Danish caps, one goal scored, and despite the weather, happy to have

joined the Scottish champions. Did you have plenty of options on the

:22:46.:22:49.

table, who was interested in signing new? I will not name names, but I

:22:50.:22:55.

will say that from the Italian league, the French league, and the

:22:56.:22:58.

Championship. But nothing could compare to a huge club like Celtic.

:22:59.:23:05.

So I'm very satisfied. Erik Sviatchenko, not your typical Danish

name. That's because his father is a Ukrainian artist. He's mostly

:23:10.:23:14.

recognised for his abstract paintings. He has also made car

:23:15.:23:21.

larges for 40 years. He has that experience and has given it to us,

:23:22.:23:26.

my older brother and twin sister, so we are quite creative in our family.

:23:27.:23:30.

It's nice to have something beside football to have your mind on. I

know the pressure here will be enormous. Sometimes it's good to go

home and maybe draw something. The art of coping with the pressures of

Scotland has brand new World Bowls Champions this evening.

:23:53.:23:57.

In the mens' pairs - in an all-Scots final,

:23:58.:23:59.

it was a convincing win for Darren Burnett

:24:00.:24:01.

and Stuart Anderson, beating fellow countrymen

:24:02.:24:02.

Burnett and Anderson won in straight sets 10-7 and then 10-6.

:24:03.:24:09.

I think the pinnacle event is the singles, but to lift any world title

:24:10.:24:15.

is a great achievement for anybody. It means a lot. Always good to get

:24:16.:24:19.

any world title. We have ever won it as a pair, we have never won

:24:20.:24:25.

anything like this before and we are good friends off the green as well.

:24:26.:24:27.

Glasgow warriors pair Tim Swinson and Ryan Wilson have been cited

:24:28.:24:30.

for incidents during the European Champions defeat

Swinson is alleged to have thrown a punch,

Now let's cross over to Shelley Joffre, to hear

Time for the forecast - Gillian's here.

A bit of a thaw in parts, Gillian - is that likely to cause problems?

Now, a reminder of tonight's main news.

:27:13.:27:14.

Friends of the two climbers who died in an accident in Glencoe

:27:15.:27:16.

at the weekend have been paying tribute to the men.

:27:17.:27:19.

They've been named as 34 year old Simon Davidson from Edinburgh,

:27:20.:27:22.

and Joe Smith, who was 23 and originally from Lancashire.

:27:23.:27:24.

Tata have announced that another 1050 steel jobs

:27:25.:27:26.

Three quarters of them will be at the Port Talbot

:27:27.:27:30.

plant in south Wales - Britain's biggest.

:27:31.:27:33.

I'll be back with the headlines at 8:00, and the late bulletin just

:27:34.:27:38.

Until then, from everyone on the team - right

:27:39.:27:41.

across the country - have a very good evening.
