Storm Henry is continuing to batter the country tonight, | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
with gale force winds and heavy rain. | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
Within the past few minutes, the Tay Bridge has been closed | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Rail services were stopped early and ferries have been | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
Suzanne Allan has been following the day's events. | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
In Glasgow, this afternoon, Edgar is hard to hold onto hat. It signalled | :00:38. | :00:47. | |
the start of Storm Henry. In earshot, waves battered the real | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
line. Schools were closed in the Western mails, as wind touched | :00:53. | :01:01. | |
speeds of 90 may all spare hour. The Forth Road Bridge closed this | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
afternoon. And at the Cromarty Bridge, this lorry was blown over. | :01:08. | :01:16. | |
20 out of 26 Caledonian MacBrayne ferries are cancelled. We started | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
with Abigail and today we have got Henry. What is causing so many | :01:22. | :01:30. | |
storms? The jet stream is pushing these weather systems towards us. It | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
is enough to bring these systems rattling towards us. In terms of | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
impact, it will be far more reaching than the previous one. Winds blew | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
part of this roof off in Dundee. It is to carry on overnight and for the | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
rush hour tomorrow, although it should ease during the course of | :01:53. | :01:53. | |
tomorrow. A task force has been meeting, | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
in an attempt to save almost 400 jobs at the Texas Instruments | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
plant in Greenock. Last week, the electronics firm said | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
it would wind down operations at its Scottish factory, | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
over the next three years. But it says it is still hoping | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
to find a buyer for the plant. For more than 40 years, the plant | :02:07. | :02:22. | |
has been at the heart of Silicon Glen, but all that work could soon | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
come to an end. Workers make silicon chips for computer systems around | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
the world. The client Texas Instruments orders,, intend to sell | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
up within three years. A government task force has been setup to try and | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
find a buyer for the plant so that clear will continue. In these | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
situations, although it is a tremendous shock for the workforce, | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
it is a big shock, even three years in advance, but it makes sense to | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
work with the company, to have a good relationship with them. We are | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
in a great place to do business in Scotland. We will investment. | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
Pulling in the new buyer may be a daunting challenge, but it has | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
happened here before. The local authority wants to see a repeat of | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
effort made to shave Ferguson shipyard is two years ago. At that | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
point, the business had collapsed but know it has been transformed and | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
enslaving. I would hope that in team we can see this factory. There are | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
365 fairly skilled jobs. The company has been here for many years and | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
should different generations of families have worked with them | :03:42. | :03:53. | |
there. For a small community like this, the skill of redundancies | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
there. For a small community like would be devastating. The | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
there. For a small community like is on carving out a viable future. | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
Two men have been sentenced to death in China for the murder of one | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
of the co-founders of the Samye Ling Buddhist monastery | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
Akong Rinpoche was found dead, with multiple stab wounds, | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
in the southwestern city of Chengdu in 2013, amidst a financial dispute. | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
One of the men sentenced was a nephew of the murdered man | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
and had, at some time, lived at the monastery. | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
A Scots tourist has reportedly been killed on an elephant | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
The Bangkok Post newspaper said the 36-year-old was trampled | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
by the elephant and gored by its tusk during a trek | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
His daughter is being treated in hospital. | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
A spokesman for the Foreign Commonwealth Office said | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
they are offering support to the family of a British national | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
Tesco is to create 150 jobs at its Dundee call centre. | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
It will bring the total workforce to more than 1,100. | :04:51. | :05:03. | |
governments over planned new tax powers for Holyrood. | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
They met again in London today when it is understood the Treasury | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
made a revised offer over the level of spending which would be | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
But afterwards, Finance Secretary John Swinney said there remained | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
considerable distance between the sides. | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
We are still trying to get to a point of agreement. The Treasury put | :05:25. | :05:33. | |
forward some proposals today. I put forward alternatives at the last | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
meeting and we discussed those further. We have go to different | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
propositions on the table which they are now looking at deceive their is | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
the basis for us to reach agreement. The River Dee's salmon fishing | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
season got underway this morning. The recent flooding means some roads | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
and buildings have been damaged, but, as John McManus reports, | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
anglers face new dangers A dram of whiskey to toast the river | :05:54. | :06:03. | |
at the start of the salmon fishing season. A colourful spectacle, but | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
are saying that the business and industry are open. The floods in | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
December caused so much damage. It will take some time to fix. A lot of | :06:18. | :06:27. | |
our access routes where washed away or badly damaged. It is | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
wide-ranging, the damage. Gabriel W Weir. From trees to bits of caravan | :06:36. | :06:48. | |
and everything, unfortunately. Some of the fish from the river find | :06:49. | :06:58. | |
hundreds of yards away in fields. Basically, we stunned the fish, put | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
them in a bucket and take them back here. The start of the season also | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
marks a return to normality. But there are head challenges. We need | :07:10. | :07:22. | |
to know who the loose shingle and gravel is, to make people we saw the | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
do not fall over and hurt themselves. Despite the problems, | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
those who work in the river are optimistic. There never has an | :07:31. | :07:39. | |
amazing ability to heal itself. It shook up bounce back and Friday. | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
That is something that the river users will all be reflecting on. | :07:47. | :07:48. | |
Researchers are looking a how sea creatures like barnacles and mussels | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
could be causing problems for the growing offshore | :07:52. | :07:52. | |
Our Science correspondent Kenneth Macdonald has more. | :07:53. | :08:06. | |
Beautiful, but you might find things beneath less pretty. These are | :08:07. | :08:16. | |
creatures, such as barnacles and mussels, of which spend their entire | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
adult ladies clinging to one spot. It is an incredible make a world. | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
Lots of different creatures strangers arrive in a very harsh | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
environment. It took just eight weeks to create these colonies. You | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
get are creatures, things like barnacles and mussels which are very | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
hard shells. The other a lot heavier and can add more than 20 kilograms | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
per square metre coverage. And there could be a big drag on the renewable | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
energy industry, which is why the technology centre is leading this | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
research. We are talking about anything offshore, particularly | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
floating devices. Also, structures that XP still and remain rooted to | :09:08. | :09:15. | |
the sea bed. Work is already under way near Oban. The plan is to look | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
at creatures like this very closely, but true to the scientific method, | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
before you work out what to do, you have to establish whether there is a | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
problem in the first place. The creatures will inevitably draw on | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
these structures, but there is many different creatures which could pool | :09:34. | :09:41. | |
on the structures. The nature of the Mohave different effect. You could | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
be a map showing which creatures are free and telling the renewables | :09:49. | :09:49. | |
industry can avoid them. Football's winter transfer window | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
