:01:06. > :01:10.The families of two young women killed when a driver blacked out

:01:11. > :01:13.at the wheel of his car in Glasgow five years ago are seeking to bring

:01:14. > :01:18.Mairi Convy and Laura Stewart died, when William Payne fell unconscious

:01:19. > :01:24.It comes as the family of three victims of the Glasgow bin lorry

:01:25. > :01:26.crash start a private prosecution against driver Harry Clarke.

:01:27. > :01:41.Six people lost their lives when the bin lorry careered out of control

:01:42. > :01:47.three days before Christmas in 2014. Now the family of 18-year-old Erin

:01:48. > :01:50.McQuaid and her grandparents are trying to start private criminal

:01:51. > :01:53.proceedings against Harry Clarke. Yesterday they delivered a bill for

:01:54. > :01:56.criminal letters to the Crown Office and hope it will lead to a private

:01:57. > :02:01.prosecution. They want justice, they are not a

:02:02. > :02:06.Lynch mob, the family do not consider they have to attend outside

:02:07. > :02:11.a cell with a noose, and hang him at all, what they want to see justice

:02:12. > :02:14.being done and the natural course of justice will be a criminal

:02:15. > :02:18.prosecution if the driver is acquitted he is acquitted. It is as

:02:19. > :02:22.simple as that. The family can move on. But in six years' time at least

:02:23. > :02:25.they can say that they have done the best for their parents they have

:02:26. > :02:30.lost and the daughter they lost. During the fatal accident inquiry

:02:31. > :02:34.into the crash, it emerged the driver Harry Clarke had a medical

:02:35. > :02:39.history of black outs spanning decades that he failed to disclose

:02:40. > :02:43.to his employers and the DVLA, but the Crown Office insisted there was

:02:44. > :02:48.not enough evidence in law to prosecute him. Almost exactly four

:02:49. > :02:53.years before the George square crash there was another tragedy a quarter

:02:54. > :02:57.of a mile away. Mairi Convy and Laura Stewart were killed in north

:02:58. > :03:02.than know very street in 2010 when they were knocked down by driver

:03:03. > :03:06.William Payne. This morning their families lodged a similar bill,

:03:07. > :03:10.calling for his prosecution. Both Laura and Mairi's family have been

:03:11. > :03:13.brought together by their fight for justice for the girls They were

:03:14. > :03:18.friends at college, they were killed together, so that binds us, as

:03:19. > :03:22.families. We have fought this fight for five year, we have held each

:03:23. > :03:25.other, we have been support, we have cried together, laughed together. We

:03:26. > :03:31.have been there for each other because the girls were there for

:03:32. > :03:37.each other, we owe it to them and we owe it to the memory, and the

:03:38. > :03:45.futures they have been robbed of. I think that our girls two lives can

:03:46. > :03:48.be worth something, they are not just swept under the carpet. It

:03:49. > :03:53.be worth something, they are not up there where Laura and Mairi were

:03:54. > :03:56.killed. Literally just yards from here George Square, where the bin

:03:57. > :04:02.lorry crashed into the wall of the millennium hotel. In each case, the

:04:03. > :04:06.driver had a medical history of black outs, in each case there was

:04:07. > :04:10.no criminal prosecution. And the families who are now pursuing these

:04:11. > :04:15.private prosecutions feel justice wasn't done for their loved ones.

:04:16. > :04:20.Now, the families have to wait to see if their bids to have the first

:04:21. > :04:22.private prosecutions this century can overcome the many legal hurdles

:04:23. > :04:26.can overcome the many legal hurdles they face.

:04:27. > :04:28.Well, joining us now is our home affairs correspondent Reevel

:04:29. > :04:34.Reevel, talk us through some of these legal hurdles.

:04:35. > :04:44.They are difficult. Two cases last century as Katsina mentioned. One in

:04:45. > :04:48.1909 and the other in 1982. In each case the Lord Advocate gave what is

:04:49. > :04:53.called a concurrence, that is to say he signified that the case could guy

:04:54. > :04:57.ahead. There is strong evidence in these two cases that not going to

:04:58. > :05:02.happen. If the Lord Advocate says no, it can go to High Court. They

:05:03. > :05:06.can allow it to go ahead but first of all, there are two other hurdles

:05:07. > :05:11.that people must overcome. The first is sufficiency of evidence. In other

:05:12. > :05:15.words, the court has to be satisfied that the case had a reasonable

:05:16. > :05:19.chance of success. The court must also establish whether there are

:05:20. > :05:23.exceptional circumstances to allow a private prosecution, and that could

:05:24. > :05:26.be a very difficult hurdle to overcome, bearing in mind that the

:05:27. > :05:33.Crown has decided that in law they can't bring a prosecution. And why

:05:34. > :05:38.might frank Mulholland not be willing to allow a private crossing.

:05:39. > :05:42.For the same reason as the Crown couldn't bring a prosecution. Last

:05:43. > :05:46.August Mr Mulholland told BBC Scotland in law the lorry driver in

:05:47. > :05:50.the bin lorry case, Harry Clarke couldn't be charged for two main

:05:51. > :05:53.reason, first he was unconscious at the time of the accident, therefore

:05:54. > :05:59.there was no criminal intent that could be demonstrated to the court.

:06:00. > :06:04.Secondly, it had been four years before since his last fainting

:06:05. > :06:09.episode so he couldn't have known that day he was going to collapse

:06:10. > :06:11.and cause the dv station he did. Thank you. -- devastation.

:06:12. > :06:15.A 40-year-old woman has appeared in court charged with the murder

:06:16. > :06:19.Sandra Weir, who was a neighbour, made no plea or declaration

:06:20. > :06:23.Mrs Logie, who was 82, was found dead in her home just over

:06:24. > :06:38.Flowers outside the house that Mary Logie called home for more than half

:06:39. > :06:42.her life. A grandmother, a mother of three, it is exactly two weeks since

:06:43. > :06:48.police released this picture of the 82-year-old. Two days earlier she

:06:49. > :06:50.had been planning a trip into town before visiting a friend in

:06:51. > :06:55.hospital. That didn't happen. Instead, she was found dead in her

:06:56. > :06:59.nightdress, the victim of what police described as a brutal and

:07:00. > :07:04.horrendous attack. The high profile police operation that followed was

:07:05. > :07:07.aimed as catching her killer, while also reassuring locals with extra

:07:08. > :07:13.officers is on the street. Not far away, at the church where Mairi --

:07:14. > :07:17.Mary was better known as Ray, the minister says it has been a

:07:18. > :07:19.difficult fortnight. There were a few people on the Sunday afterwards,

:07:20. > :07:27.as we mentioned her in the prayers who were visibly upset, about what

:07:28. > :07:32.had happen. Your can imagine that. There is a lot of people live in

:07:33. > :07:37.this community who live on their own, older ladies who live on their

:07:38. > :07:39.own, and that was a worry thing for them, that this is happening in the

:07:40. > :07:44.area. This afternoon, a few miles along

:07:45. > :07:49.the Fife coast, a neighbour appeared in court charged with her murder.

:07:50. > :07:53.40-year-old Sandra Weir made no plea or declaration during a short

:07:54. > :07:56.hearing held in private. The Sheriff remanded her in custody. It is

:07:57. > :07:58.expected she will return to court next week.

:07:59. > :08:00.You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC.

:08:01. > :08:02.Still to come on tonight's programme.

:08:03. > :08:09.A new beginning beckons for an historic Stirling landmark.

:08:10. > :08:12.In sport - Murray is in magnificent form at the Australian Open tennis.

:08:13. > :08:19.The semi-professional footballers who're living the dream in East

:08:20. > :08:27.Scotland's 32 councils are in the midst of trying to figure

:08:28. > :08:29.out how to pay for services at a time when funds

:08:30. > :08:33.They get most of their cash from the Scottish Government,

:08:34. > :08:36.but many say they need more details of this year's funding plan before

:08:37. > :08:41.Tonight, Edinburgh Council became the first to pass its budget,

:08:42. > :08:43.but another rejected the current government offer.

:08:44. > :08:55.Here's our local government correspondent, Jamie McIvor.

:08:56. > :09:03.Passions are running high on local service, this was the scene outside

:09:04. > :09:08.Edinburgh council today. It is planning 2,000 job cuts and

:09:09. > :09:12.reductions to some local services. I say resign. Councils get most of

:09:13. > :09:16.their cash from the Scottish Government. Most of them say the

:09:17. > :09:19.deal on offer means they will need to make more savings this year than

:09:20. > :09:24.they expected. There is concern here about some of the cuts Edinburgh is

:09:25. > :09:29.proposing but at the same time there is sympathy for the financial

:09:30. > :09:32.situation facing local Governments. The leader of the council said this

:09:33. > :09:36.morning that local Government funding is broken, and it certainly

:09:37. > :09:41.is broken. In Holyrood they node to take responsibility for that.

:09:42. > :09:45.-- need. Edinburgh is the first council to set its budget for the

:09:46. > :09:49.the year ahead. Many others still haven't accepted the Government's

:09:50. > :09:53.funding offer. Tonight, one Labour council said they would turn it down

:09:54. > :09:58.outright if it didn't change. I have written to the Government. We are

:09:59. > :10:02.telling the Government day and daily they need to provide more money for

:10:03. > :10:06.local service, if they want to continue with the rhetoric they have

:10:07. > :10:12.round that tackling austerity, they need to provide the money to provide

:10:13. > :10:16.those services. Many councils have concerns or query, so much so the

:10:17. > :10:22.Finance Secretary sent them this letter, seen by BBC Scotland. He

:10:23. > :10:25.told them he was putting back the deadline for accepting the offer,

:10:26. > :10:29.originally it was tomorrow. First Minister... At Holyrood, the first

:10:30. > :10:34.minute stir defended council funding. In terms of overall revenue

:10:35. > :10:39.expenditure of Local Authorities, they are looking at a 2% reduction,

:10:40. > :10:43.and that is before we take account of additional resources for social

:10:44. > :10:46.care, additional resources through the attainment fund and the

:10:47. > :10:49.additional investment we plan over the life of the next Parliament in

:10:50. > :10:56.transforming the provision of childcare.

:10:57. > :11:02.Back at the council many protestors claimed putting up the council tax

:11:03. > :11:04.this year could help. So far, only Murray -- Moray Council plan do this

:11:05. > :11:23.but a few more may follow. News website has published sections

:11:24. > :11:27.of a draft report which says incidents occurred at virtually

:11:28. > :11:31.every one of the BBC premises in which Savile worked. BBC head Lord

:11:32. > :11:33.Hall says lessons will be learned from what he described as a dark

:11:34. > :11:36.chapter. More drivers were caught drink

:11:37. > :11:38.driving during the recent festive period - that's despite police

:11:39. > :11:40.breath-testing fewer motorists The vast majority of those caught

:11:41. > :11:44.had drunk enough to ensure they'd have failed the breathalyser even

:11:45. > :11:46.before the limit was lowered Here's Aileen Clarke,

:11:47. > :11:56.with a look at the figures. Well, here is the number of those

:11:57. > :11:59.who fell foul of the breathalyser during the police's latest festive

:12:00. > :12:01.drink drive campaign. 459 drivers tested positive,

:12:02. > :12:04.up by almost a third on last year, and that increase is despite there

:12:05. > :12:06.being almost 1,300 fewer breath tests actually carried

:12:07. > :12:08.out this year. Now the police point

:12:09. > :12:11.to the overall trend - that's the number of people

:12:12. > :12:14.caught right through out Now traffic officers don't count

:12:15. > :12:26.the total number of breath tests they do outside the special

:12:27. > :12:28.campaigns in the summer and in the festive period,

:12:29. > :12:30.but even so, you can see here that the numbers caught drink

:12:31. > :12:33.driving is in general coming In fact, it's more

:12:34. > :12:36.than halved since 2006. But that last annual figure we have

:12:37. > :12:39.of more than 5,200 drunk drivers still came as a shock to some people

:12:40. > :12:54.I spoke to in Glasgow today. I wouldn't think it would be a great

:12:55. > :12:59.deal to be honest. People know now not to touch it. If I told you it is

:13:00. > :13:05.more than 100 drives a week? That is a lot. That is a lot, aye. Surprised

:13:06. > :13:12.at that really. It is quite high and I think it has to come down. I agree

:13:13. > :13:16.with the new drink-driving laws. In a population of over 5 million. I

:13:17. > :13:25.don't think so, no. I got educated the hard way. I lost my license for

:13:26. > :13:28.22 months, heavily fined. I went to a drink-driving awareness course and

:13:29. > :13:31.I realised that even after a couple of pints, you are in charge of a

:13:32. > :13:35.you are in charge of a lethal weapon.

:13:36. > :13:37.That man suggests more driver education is needed.

:13:38. > :13:39.The police admit they are disappointed with this sharp rise

:13:40. > :13:43.in drunk drivers over the festive season.

:13:44. > :13:50.There are still a hard-core, a minority of people in Scotland

:13:51. > :13:54.prepared to take the risk to themselves and others, of drinking

:13:55. > :13:57.and driving. That is unacceptable, as the vast majority of people in

:13:58. > :14:01.The number of people caught in this Christmas campaign due

:14:02. > :14:03.to the new lower limit imposed in 2014 was 19 -

:14:04. > :14:06.now that's just one more than last year, so the vast majority

:14:07. > :14:09.of drivers still being caught drunk at the wheel would have been caught

:14:10. > :14:20.It started life in the 17th century as home for merchants who'd fallen

:14:21. > :14:25.on hard times, but Stirling's Cowane's Hospital is itself in need

:14:26. > :14:29.Plans to restore and reopen it for the community have been helped,

:14:30. > :14:31.thanks to the promise of ?2 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

:14:32. > :14:41.Our arts correspondent Pauline McLean reports.

:14:42. > :14:50.Behind closed doors and important piece of Scottish history lies

:14:51. > :14:55.virtually untouched. You will notice that this is not as it was

:14:56. > :15:01.originally built. There were bedrooms upstairs originally and the

:15:02. > :15:08.public rooms were downstairs. In the 16 40s, this was a very comfortable

:15:09. > :15:12.home for wayward merchants. Good food, warm clothes, even the

:15:13. > :15:17.country's first Bowling Green. They had to abide by strict rules. They

:15:18. > :15:23.were not allowed to swear, drink, see women. They had to attend church

:15:24. > :15:30.three times on Sunday. They literally had a very confined

:15:31. > :15:37.lifestyle. Strict, or not, John Cowane's legacy lives on, even

:15:38. > :15:45.though his statue has seen better days. His hand fell off, tragically.

:15:46. > :15:52.The whole statue requires a complete overhaul and maintenance. Today, the

:15:53. > :15:57.campaign took a step forward with a promise of ?2 million from the

:15:58. > :16:03.Heritage lottery. It will allow them to restore the building with all the

:16:04. > :16:10.details of the Guilds and businessmen who used it. The

:16:11. > :16:14.businessmen used to take these pies home to prove that they have

:16:15. > :16:19.meetings here rather than in the local pub. They are planning to sell

:16:20. > :16:26.these pies as part of the new tourist attraction. Thanks to this

:16:27. > :16:29.boost, Cowane's Hospital can reopen in the near future.

:16:30. > :16:36.A look at other stories from across the country.

:16:37. > :16:48.A man who abducted a six-year-old boy during a naked rampage through a

:16:49. > :16:56.toy store has been jailed. He also battered the boy's grandmother with

:16:57. > :17:01.a cricket bat as she tried to stop him. The court heard that he had

:17:02. > :17:08.several convictions for violence in Poland. Cash will be given to shared

:17:09. > :17:15.equity and help to buy schemes and will be targeted on families with

:17:16. > :17:20.low income is. This is aimed at people who are earning around

:17:21. > :17:24.?35,000 per year or less. Unlike south of the border where it is

:17:25. > :17:27.aimed at wealthier people, we are aiming it at those who otherwise

:17:28. > :17:36.wouldn't be able to buy their own home. Marine Harvest is to cut jobs

:17:37. > :17:42.at its fish farms. It employs nearly 700 people at 50 sites. It is the

:17:43. > :17:48.world's largest fish farmer but says the cuts will make its business more

:17:49. > :17:52.sustainable. Thousands of ceramic poppies from the installation at the

:17:53. > :17:58.Tower of London are to travel to Orkney where they will be displayed

:17:59. > :18:03.at Saint Magnus Cathedral as part of the 100th anniversary celebrations

:18:04. > :18:08.of the Battle of Jutland. It will have a deeply moving impact on all

:18:09. > :18:13.those who see it. That has been the reaction across the country. I saw

:18:14. > :18:17.it in London and it is a deeply moving spectacle. People in Orkney

:18:18. > :18:21.will look after this sculpture while it is here and it will have a deep

:18:22. > :18:27.impact in commemorating those who lost their lives in the Great War.

:18:28. > :18:30.Film star Arnold Schwarzenegger surprised commuters in Edinburgh

:18:31. > :18:36.this morning when he went for a cycle in the centre of the city. He

:18:37. > :18:41.was spotted taking self ease with fans as he cycled around the West

:18:42. > :18:46.End although he cycled the wrong way of Lothian Road.

:18:47. > :18:48.Let's get the sport now, and the latest on Andy Murray,

:18:49. > :18:57.Andy Murray is in magnificent form at the Australian Open.

:18:58. > :18:59.He demolished the local favourite Sam Groth

:19:00. > :19:04.His opponent - who had most of the crowd in his favour -

:19:05. > :19:10.From Melbourne, here's our tennis reporter Kheredine Idessane.

:19:11. > :19:18.Andy Murray will have too quiet in the crowd here. Although he is

:19:19. > :19:22.popular, Sam Groth is more popular. Centrestage on centre court, his

:19:23. > :19:31.first match in the Rob Lever arena this year. His fans had much to

:19:32. > :19:36.cheer as he got into the groove straightaway. The tactic from the

:19:37. > :19:41.big Australia was serve and volley. The way around that, take to the

:19:42. > :19:48.air. This Murray masterclass was so convincing he won the first nine

:19:49. > :19:51.games. He was detained barely an hour and a half and told as

:19:52. > :19:57.afterwards that he isn't one for parenting classes. From speaking to

:19:58. > :20:02.people, you can't will you be taught. Every child is different.

:20:03. > :20:08.You need to be able to respond to situations as they happen. It is

:20:09. > :20:12.not... I don't know, I think I will go a little bit on instinct with

:20:13. > :20:24.that and I'm sure that my wife will give me a lot of tips as well, and a

:20:25. > :20:30.few earfuls, I'm sure. He won't get an earful about the Stander of his

:20:31. > :20:32.tennis. And if he plays that well on Saturday he will be a favourite to

:20:33. > :20:37.get through to the fourth round. Scottish football is considering

:20:38. > :20:39.introducing an American football style draft system to help clubs

:20:40. > :20:42.develop young players. The proposal was put forward

:20:43. > :20:44.by the Scotland manager Gordon Strachan as part

:20:45. > :20:50.of the SFA's review of the game. If the plans are given the go ahead,

:20:51. > :20:52.under-21 Premiership players would be loaned out to the lower

:20:53. > :20:55.leagues and picked from an NFL Now to the stuff of which

:20:56. > :21:00.football dreams are made. The East Kilbride story:

:21:01. > :21:02.formed just six years ago, they're semi professional,

:21:03. > :21:04.and play their home games But they've just won through to face

:21:05. > :21:07.Premiership Champions Celtic in the next round of

:21:08. > :21:10.the Scottish Cup. It will be worth a sport fortune to

:21:11. > :21:23.the South Lanarkshire club. The cup heroes are enjoying their

:21:24. > :21:31.moment. What a moment. These goals, firstly from Jack Smith, then from

:21:32. > :21:38.Sean Winter, urging them a win over Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale and a

:21:39. > :21:46.tie against Celtic. Inducing this sort of reaction. Absolutely

:21:47. > :21:54.ecstatic. Come on, Mary! A very nervous cup tie. A great cup tie.

:21:55. > :21:58.The two teams played tremendous. Just so delighted today. And a tie

:21:59. > :22:05.against Celtic. What a feeling that is. In the dressing room, little

:22:06. > :22:08.thought of the ?100,000 plus the club will earn from facing the

:22:09. > :22:13.Scottish champions. Can you believe you are going to be playing Celtic?

:22:14. > :22:18.It will take a couple of days to sink in but it is great. It is great

:22:19. > :22:23.we are in the next round. Now they are about to hear from a man who

:22:24. > :22:30.wants to kill that bars. Cover your ears if you are a football romantic.

:22:31. > :22:36.It is always difficult to play teams below yourself. We will be prepared

:22:37. > :22:42.as we are always prepared with every team we go to. Right now, they are

:22:43. > :22:46.living the dream. It will take something approaching a miracle for

:22:47. > :22:54.them to prevail in the next round. Well done to them and to Mary.

:22:55. > :22:56.Scotland is synonymous with whisky, but another spirit made

:22:57. > :22:59.here is enjoying a surge in popularity.

:23:00. > :23:02.Sales of Scottish gin are booming - with more than 70 percent

:23:03. > :23:04.of the multi-million pound UK market being distilled here.

:23:05. > :23:06.And the key to its popularity seems to be its appeal

:23:07. > :23:20.Chin. Perhaps a drink once more associated with our parents but now

:23:21. > :23:25.surging in popularity. It is worth hundreds of millions of pounds to

:23:26. > :23:36.the Scottish economy. Next week a national Scottish Jim -- gin Trail

:23:37. > :23:44.is being launched. Coming from the back streets of 18th-century

:23:45. > :23:50.Britain, nicknamed mother's ruin. But now a Scottish export success.

:23:51. > :23:57.Of 100,000,005 years. The boom is being seen on high streets. The

:23:58. > :24:06.explosion is definitely happening. In the last month, we have properly

:24:07. > :24:12.sold about 200 different gins through the shop. Is it a fad?

:24:13. > :24:19.Possibly but it is a good one. America is a huge market opening up

:24:20. > :24:27.and see the potential for boutique brands. We are the fastest-growing

:24:28. > :24:34.gin brand in Scotland. We are opening a new distillery to cope

:24:35. > :24:40.with the demand. Down in Leith, where all the distillery is used to

:24:41. > :24:45.be. New distillers can make gin relatively quickly while waiting for

:24:46. > :24:51.whiskey to mature. But is there room for all the newcomers in the market?

:24:52. > :24:58.The world is a big place and there are a new generation of consumers

:24:59. > :25:03.across the world looking for quality products. I'm not losing any sleep

:25:04. > :25:12.about our ability to grow over the next few years. In the 1700s, the

:25:13. > :25:20.gin craze brought debauchery and destitution. This new creation only

:25:21. > :25:24.bring new markets and opportunities. I think we should say, things are

:25:25. > :25:39.looking up but don't hold your breath. That's a fair way to put it.

:25:40. > :25:46.Pretty miserable today. Grey cloud, cold and wet. Our weather watcher

:25:47. > :25:53.Veronica catching the leaden skies. We need to be patient. If anything,

:25:54. > :26:01.rain intensifying overnight. We have a yellow warning in force. Fickle

:26:02. > :26:10.conditions on the roads. Bearing in mind, it is milder air coming in.

:26:11. > :26:17.Temperatures around five in the morning up to around 7 degrees. A

:26:18. > :26:23.wet start to the day with difficult conditions on the roads. Wind is

:26:24. > :26:27.strong to gale force. Here's the improvement. The rain will fear

:26:31. > :26:37.through to be replaced by Dreyer, air. Temperatures up to around 12

:26:38. > :26:40.Celsius. A different feeling day. A touch cooler across the north-east.

:26:41. > :26:43.There will be a touch cooler across the north-east.

:26:44. > :26:55.the north-west Highlands and Islands. Taking a wild to clear from

:26:56. > :27:02.Shetland. Very few showers overnight but a lot of dry weather around as

:27:03. > :27:08.well. On Saturday, high pressure across France keeping things

:27:09. > :27:13.relatively calm across the UK. A couple of weather fronts bringing

:27:14. > :27:19.rain into the north-west. Wet across the north-west on Saturday but for

:27:20. > :27:25.most of the mainland a dry day and quite mild. Further rain arriving

:27:26. > :27:31.overnight. Sunday will be cloudier and wetter than Saturday but warmer.

:27:32. > :27:33.Temperatures of 213 degrees in the West as we had through the

:27:34. > :27:35.afternoon. Now, a reminder of

:27:36. > :27:39.tonight's main news... The families of two young women,

:27:40. > :27:42.killed when a driver blacked out at the wheel of his car

:27:43. > :27:45.in Glasgow five years ago, are seeking to bring

:27:46. > :27:46.a private prosecution. Mairi Convy and Laura Stewart died,

:27:47. > :27:49.when William Payne fell unconscious It comes as the family of three

:27:50. > :27:53.victims of the Glasgow bin lorry crash start a private prosecution

:27:54. > :27:56.against driver Harry Clarke. I'll be back with the headlines

:27:57. > :28:00.at 8.00 and the late bulletin Until then,

:28:01. > :28:04.from everyone on the team - right across the country -
