and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
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 | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
off the hill. about Muslims see him | :00:25. | :00:25. | |
banned from the UK? As MPs discuss that question, | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
he threatens to scrap millions Also on the programme, | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
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. | |
about to happen. Those who have juggled prizes with parenthood arson | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
pathetic. I support, and I agree with his decision. Toche are | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
sympathetic. I became a father 15 months ago. I understand the | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
position that he's in. Not that kids were the only talking point around | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
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 | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
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 | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
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 | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
know the pressure here will be enormous. Sometimes it's good to go | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
home and maybe draw something. The art of coping with the pressures of | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
Scottish football can wait for a little while longer. Sviatchenko | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
trains today, but the 24-year old is not quite ready for the premiership | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
match with Hamilton Academical tomorrow night. | :23:51. | :23:52. | |
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 | :24:31. | :24:31. | |
Swinson is alleged to have thrown a punch, | :24:32. | :24:41. | |
Spivak why Wilson was involved in this | :24:42. | :24:55. | |
Now let's cross over to Shelley Joffre, to hear | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
Time for the forecast - Gillian's here. | :25:00. | :25:01. | |
A bit of a thaw in parts, Gillian - is that likely to cause problems? | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
another cold night, so we could well see some slippery surfaces. Wet in | :25:08. | :25:16. | |
many parts of the country. A moody shot sent in by one of our weather | :25:17. | :25:24. | |
watchers. It could lead to a tough driving conditions but also the risk | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
of ice extending across the country. A weather front draped across | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
Central parts. Some rain, sleet and slow at cross parts of the country. | :25:34. | :25:42. | |
Clearer skies in the north and temperatures in parts of the | :25:43. | :25:44. | |
Highlands and Northeast will dip below freezing and we could see | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
negative double digits in a couple of spots. Not as called for the | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
South but road surfaces will be sub zero, hence the risk of ice taking | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
is well into tomorrow. Tomorrow, predominantly dry, still a lot of | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
cloud with misty and murky conditions for the southern half of | :26:02. | :26:03. | |
the country with the best of the sunshine | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
the country with the best of the thick enough at times to produce a | :26:08. | :26:08. | |
fume wintry flurries across the high thick enough at times to produce a | :26:09. | :26:18. | |
the few spots of drizzle. Best of the sunshine towards the Moray coast | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
and not the danger. -- and Aberdeenshire. It would be a cold | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
day everywhere. Turning into another cold night. We will have a few | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
showers draped around northern coasts with a few | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
showers draped around northern most places will be dry as we head | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
into Wednesday. Wednesday itself, the quiet spell of weather continues | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
with high-pressure hanging on, keeping the weather fronts at bay. | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
Predominantly dry with a lot of cloud around. One or two wintry | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
showers for the north of the mainland. Subbing a bit brighter | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
speaking into the south-west later in the day as we pick up southerly | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
breeze is. Heading into Thursday, that's when we will see a change | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
with the introduction of a more Atlantic influence. Isobars here | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
showing freshening winds with some rain but not as cold. | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
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. | :27:42. | :27:44. |
