:00:16. > :00:19.Hundreds of millions of pounds is to be spent in the north-east
:00:20. > :00:21.of Scotland to improve infrastructure like roads,
:00:22. > :00:24.railways and harbours - and to create jobs.
:00:25. > :00:27.The cash is coming from both the Scottish and the UK governments.
:00:28. > :00:29.Visiting Aberdeen, the Prime Minister told BBC Scotland
:00:30. > :00:33.he was "100%" behind efforts to strengthen the oil industry.
:00:34. > :00:42.Here's our political editor Brian Taylor.
:00:43. > :00:50.1975 and her Majesty the cream starts oil flooding from the giant
:00:51. > :00:55.field in the North Sea. If we use it right, this flood of energy can
:00:56. > :01:00.without doubt much improve our economic well-being. For decades
:01:01. > :01:05.after that oil and Aberdeen helped to bankroll Britain. During those
:01:06. > :01:10.decades Aberdeen's economy beams, but passing time and falling oil
:01:11. > :01:19.prices have left the people of Aberdeen anxious for the future, and
:01:20. > :01:24.it is not just oil. This company says that the city needs help. The
:01:25. > :01:29.boss has two counter the concept that the city is remote, poorly
:01:30. > :01:34.served by transport. There is a perception we are in the frozen
:01:35. > :01:38.north and not connected to the rest of the country. Today's city deal
:01:39. > :01:45.signed in Aberdeen combines Council initiatives with money from the UK
:01:46. > :01:49.to boost private investment. The great thing about the city deal is
:01:50. > :01:53.it can leverage in lots of other money which might total about ?2
:01:54. > :01:58.billion coming from other public sector sources and the private
:01:59. > :02:01.sector, so I believe it is going to make a real difference to the
:02:02. > :02:09.economy here in Aberdeen and the north-east. The deal includes
:02:10. > :02:15.expanding Aberdeen harbour. The package extends beyond the city into
:02:16. > :02:20.Aberdeenshire. SNP backbenchers said the city deal is inadequate.
:02:21. > :02:25.Aberdeen deserves more from the UK government than the 125 million they
:02:26. > :02:32.have allocated, particularly considering the Treasury has
:02:33. > :02:39.benefited from over 3000 million pounds of North Sea oil revenue that
:02:40. > :02:42.has flowed from Aberdeen to London. And so in addition the Scottish
:02:43. > :02:48.government announced that new investment in rail will form part of
:02:49. > :02:53.a ?254 million package over 5-10 years. The first Minister was
:02:54. > :02:56.concerned it should go further than the city deal was going to allow us
:02:57. > :03:02.to go. These projects have been identified by the council and so we
:03:03. > :03:08.know it is rooted in what the community thinks is important. We
:03:09. > :03:13.are contributing half of the money, it is a deal between the UK
:03:14. > :03:19.government and the councils. The government have pledged 20 million
:03:20. > :03:23.pounds for new finds in the North Sea. City deal added to tax
:03:24. > :03:31.incentives could also kick-start industry. What do you say to the
:03:32. > :03:37.critics about the revenue Aberdeen oil has generated? In the last
:03:38. > :03:42.budget we have a tax cut to the whole industry which was worth over
:03:43. > :03:47.?1 billion. This city deal comes on top of that, but the point I would
:03:48. > :03:51.make is that this demonstrates the broad shoulders of the United
:03:52. > :03:54.Kingdom can get behind the oil industry, including the oil industry
:03:55. > :03:58.here in Scotland when it faces difficulties. The hope is that
:03:59. > :04:04.private growth will follow this public investment and that in future
:04:05. > :04:08.Aberdeen's oil links remain more than a memory.
:04:09. > :04:10.We're being warned to expect widespread disruption
:04:11. > :04:12.across Scotland tomorrow, as Storm Gertrude sweeps
:04:13. > :04:16.Scotrail has taken the decision to cancel many services tomorrow
:04:17. > :04:21.There will be no trains north of Inverness, no trains to Oban
:04:22. > :04:24.or Fort William, some Clyde Coast services are suspended
:04:25. > :04:27.and the Glasgow-Edinburgh trains will also be affected,
:04:28. > :04:29.cut to half-hourly as the trains will be running more slowly
:04:30. > :04:35.Schools will also be closed in Orkney, Shetland and the Western
:04:36. > :04:47.We have seen in the past all types of things blown onto the railway
:04:48. > :04:53.which poses a safety risk to our trains and to our customers. Some of
:04:54. > :04:59.these odd trees, roofs of buildings, trampolines, garden sheds and the
:05:00. > :05:03.like, and it really poses a derailment risk, so we have two slow
:05:04. > :05:16.our trains down under the circumstances. The forecast is for
:05:17. > :05:19.wins in excess of 80 mph. We will be holding all transport, including
:05:20. > :05:24.public transport and school buses. All schools will be closed tomorrow.
:05:25. > :05:26.We will have a fall weather forecast shortly.
:05:27. > :05:29.Police searching for two elderly women who went missing in Moray
:05:30. > :05:30.earlier this week have found their bodies.
:05:31. > :05:33.Police say they are those of 77 year old Rosemary Laing from Rothes
:05:34. > :05:35.and 85 year old Kathleen Edward from Aberlour.
:05:36. > :05:39.It's understood police are treating the deaths as unrelated.

:07:05. > :07:07.Think of the Internet is a place, a destination. That is where young
:07:08. > :07:13.children go now, it is all their lives. You would not let them go out
