Tonight on reporting Scotland, MSP is reject a cross-party call for a | :00:09. | :00:18. | |
1p increase to protect public services. | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
The Scottish ambulance is forced to postpone plans to downgrade certain | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
types of 999 calls. Claims that Police Scotland tries | :00:24. | :00:34. | |
to avoid paying compensation for road accidents | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
involving its officers. In my experience, they do everything | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
that is in their power to do the right thing and avoid paying | :00:43. | :00:43. | |
compensation. Celtic take on Aberdeen in the top | :00:44. | :00:44. | |
of the table clash that MSPs have rejected an increase | :00:45. | :01:12. | |
in Scottish income tax from April. Labour had called for a penny | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
increase in tax at all levels, But in a vote at Holyrood a majority | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
of MSPs said no to that - and backed the Scottish Government's | :01:19. | :01:23. | |

Swinney says Labour's plan would punish public sector workers and | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
pensioners while he wants to shelter them. I want to say to the teachers | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
and to the public service workers at the length and breadth of this | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
country, who have had to endure pay constraints because of the austerity | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
programme of the United Kingdom Government, that I value the | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
sacrifices they have made and the last thing I am going to do is put | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
up their taxes. A helping hand from Nicola Sturgeon. Scottish ministers | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
plan to extend the living wage to social care workers and others. Stab | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
at this Midlothian Centre already received that higher rate of pay, | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
at this Midlothian Centre already but no increase to standard rate | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
income tax, not now, not next year, when Holyrood should have greater | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
flexibility to vary tax. I don't think an increase in the basic rate | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
of income tax is the right thing to do. Labour's Taxman this involves a | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
rebate, with councils handing back ?100 the lowest paid, including | :03:14. | :03:22. | |
low-income pensioners, but Scottish ministers have branded that plan | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
unworkable, possibly illegal and say those payments should be taxed. | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
Labour's Jackie Baillie insisted the plan had been thoroughly checked. | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
The Liberal Democrats back 1p on tax by education and said new cuts | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
should be blamed on Scottish ministers. He is imposing the kind | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
of budget that he has previously condemned. The people of Scotland | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
will know that his refusal to act means that every single cut to | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
public services in Scotland is a John Swinney cut. But John Swinney | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
received decidedly ironic support in resisting tax increases from the | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Conservatives. It Klatten is my Tory heart to hear | :03:59. | :04:07. | |
the so-called political progressives arguing so vigorously and | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
passionately against increases in taxation. We are happy to be better | :04:11. | :04:19. | |
together with the SNP on this issue. To the votes tonight. Are we all | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
agreed? Not by a long shot. Labour's increase was rejected. | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
It's emerged that the deadline to try and strike a deal | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
between the UK and Scottish governments on how new tax powers | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
for Holyrood would work, could be breached. | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
Our correspondent David Porter is at Westminster for us tonight. | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
These talks on the so-called fiscal framework have been long, they have | :04:43. | :04:51. | |
been very detailed, and too many they have been torturous. But | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
tonight it appears at least the UK Government is taking | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
tonight it appears at least the UK measures because it thinks that the | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
deadline imposed by the Scottish Government for these talks to be | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
concluded after the 12th of February might now slip. Coincidentally in | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
the House of Commons MPs this evening have been debating public | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
spending in Scotland. It gave the Scottish Secretary David Mundell a | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
chance to lay out his position, and the way the UK Government seems to | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
be moving towards thinking that deadline may not be met. He said | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
that it was better to get a deal that was right than to rush it. Keen | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
as though I am to have a warm and supportive relationship with the | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
Scottish Government, I have never felt the same Valentine's Day date | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
had much relevance to this process. I'm willing to keep continuing | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
working towards a deal for as long as that takes and as long as we can. | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
Fiscal agreement is vital, as Lord Smith himself said, it is | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
fundamentally important in making Scotland's new powers work. It is | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
fundamentally important in making the final piece in an interlocking | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
jigsaw, and we could not agree more with that. So what seem to be the | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
missing pieces in the negotiation jigsaw? This really goes down to the | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
nitty-gritty, it goes down to money. In future when Scotland is able to | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
raise its own taxes, what that will mean for the amount of money that | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
Westminster provides through the rock grant, and whether Scotland | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
would be disadvantaged or not compared to the rest of the UK. The | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
Smith commission says there should be no detriment and it should be a | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
deal that is fair to both Westminster and Holyrood. At the | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
moment there are differences of opinion between the UK Government | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
and the Scottish Government as to what that means and how it can be | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
achieved. There will be more talks in Edinburgh next week. This one | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
will go to the wire. But they're now does seem an acceptance, certainly | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
from those in Whitehall, but actually the deadline may be | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
breached. But they remain, they say, it is better to get it right than to | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
rush something as important as this. Thank you. | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
How much time does it take to potentially save a life? | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
The Scottish Ambulance Service was planning to downgrade certain | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
kinds of 999 calls, which meant crews were given longer to get | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
there - but now those plans have been postponed | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
following the intervention of the chief medical officer. | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
Our health correspondent Eleanor Bradford is here. | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
Eleanor, what kind of calls were affected | :07:23. | :07:23. | |
The Ambulance Service has hundreds of categories of calls, but they are | :07:24. | :07:32. | |
classified either category A, B or C depending on how fast an ambulance | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
is needed. Ambulance bosses wanted to change some types of call in | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
category eight two category B. That affects how quickly you would need | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
to respond to them. By making the changes it meant paramedics would | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
have 90 minutes to respond to these new category B calls rather than the | :07:50. | :07:58. | |
eight minutes they had previously. They included chest pains with | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
abnormal breathing, chest pains with a history of heart attack or angina, | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
being not alert after falling. So those plans are now on hold was the | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
Chief Medical Officer satisfies herself that all this is safe. | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
Different categories of patient need herself that all this is safe. | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
a different kind of response, these codes are quite old, they are 30 | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
years old. In fact our treatments and our response times have of | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
years old. In fact our treatments perhaps now time has | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
years old. In fact our treatments actually look in more detail, | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
years old. In fact our treatments because we want to sustain the best | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
outcome with our current treatment. Why were those | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
outcome with our current treatment. considered in the first place? It | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
all depends on how you look at it. Opposition politicians and some | :08:43. | :08:42. | |
paramedics have said Opposition politicians and some | :08:43. | :08:54. | |
that it should get to 75% of category a calls within eight | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
minutes. Last year it only reached 66% of the calls within that time | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
frame. However the Ambulance Service itself says that it's doing it for | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
medical reasons. It has looked at six months worth of data, and that | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
this is not only clinically safe but the unions are in agreement that | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
this should be done. As you heard the Chief Medical Officer say, the | :09:15. | :09:15. | |
whole system is the Chief Medical Officer say, the | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
data, quite an old system. In Wales they've gone even further, been more | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
radical and done away with target times altogether. What they have | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
started to look at is simply whether or not the ambulance get there | :09:31. | :09:31. | |
quickly enough for the patient to You're watching Reporting Scotland, | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
and still to come on tonight's In sport, it's the | :09:37. | :09:56. | |
toe to toe. We are on the shop floor with the part-time football is | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
hoping to pull off the greatest of cup upsets. | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
Scotland's third biggest bank - the Clydesdale Bank - | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
has become independent again, for the first time | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
It's being sold off by its owners - the National Australia Bank. | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
Here's our business correspondent David Henderson. | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
It's had a place on Scotland's high streets since the 1830s. | :10:22. | :10:30. | |
It's had a place on Scotland's high For years its owners, National | :10:31. | :10:31. | |
Australia Bank, have wanted to sell it off, so they've taken off | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
billions of pounds of clients tell's debts, leaving the Scottish bank | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
largely free from the burdens of the past. We have independent and what | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
that really means is that we will be able to make investments in our | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
customers based on what they need as opposed to having a third party | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
forming of you. We listen to our customers, decide what they want, | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
and deliver. Having independence to customers, decide what they want, | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
the dude that is a huge part of our strategy -- independence to do that. | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
By the time these headquarters were built, it was already helping to | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
fund the rapid growth of the Empire's second city. The bank broke | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
down barriers by offering lending to women. These days Clydesdale bank is | :11:17. | :11:24. | |
a big player with 121 branches in Scotland, and its partner, the | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
Yorkshire bank, has 154 in England. Between them they'll serve almost 3 | :11:30. | :11:30. | |
million UK customers. So they are Between them they'll serve almost 3 | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
the biggest of the so-called challenger banks, ready to take on | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
giants like RBS. Historically banks have benefited from inertia, people | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
just haven't wanted to change current accounts. The rise of the | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
Internet as well facilitates being able to look round and see better | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
deals. We all have a place that means something to us. With that in | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
mind Clydesdale is keen to boost its mortgage lending and grow its | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
business that way. Competition for customers might be heating up. | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
The police are there to help us when we're wronged - | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
but what happens when police are at fault? | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
One of the country's most experienced lawyers in personal | :12:17. | :12:18. | |
injury claims has accused Police Scotland of doing anything | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
to avoid paying compensation after incidents where its officers | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
Suzanne Allan has this exclusive report. | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
There's nothing left of Leona Rice's car which was a present from her | :12:29. | :12:37. | |
grandad. Four years ago, with her family inside, she was involved in a | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
collision with a police car. I was pulling out of the junction and I | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
was turning right, and the police came along, no silent all lights on. | :12:48. | :12:55. | |
I had internal bleeding in my leg, cracked wrist, and suffered panic | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
attacks after the crash. The police charged her with driving without due | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
consideration but it was found not proven in court. Her solicitor says | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
Police Scotland will try anything to avoid paying compensation after | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
accidents like this. When a police officer is involved in an accident, | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
and it is their fault, they do not seem willing to do the right thing, | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
to stand up and say that we need to make just recompense for what | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
happened. They circle the wagons, and in my experience of these | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
things, they do absolutely everything they can that is within | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
their power to avoid doing the right thing. In the past three years | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
Police Scotland have paid out over 61130 ?3000 in compensation. But | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
that is dwarfed if you look at the London Metropolitan Police. In just | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
one year they've paid out over ?1.8 million. Although they are a bigger | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
force. Patrick McGuire says the police are slow at settling claims. | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
Unlike organisations of a similar size. Looking at other bodies and | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
how they react in terms of the Fire Service, NHS, even the post office. | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
Other organisations are more akin to the attitude of insurers when | :14:15. | :14:21. | |
involved with members of the public, the police force just stand apart. | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
Leona is angry police haven't taken the blame. I'm disgusted in the way | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
that the police have been about the whole thing. I just want them to | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
admit liability because it's been proven in court that it wasn't my | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
fault. And I would like my compensation. Police Scotland gave | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
us this statement. A look at other stories | :14:43. | :15:02. | |
from across the country. A fourth person has died following a | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
crash on the M9 last Friday. 37-year-old Sajjad Ahmad | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
was the driver of a Mercedes which was involved in | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
the collision in West Lothian. His wife, Saadia, was | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
pronounced dead at the scene and their nine-year-old | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
daughter, Ayesha, died on Saturday. The driver of the other vehicle - | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
42-year-old Mark Hansen - Two boys, aged ten and 14, | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
remain in a serious condition. Seven members of the executive | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
committee of Scotland's biggest | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
mosque have resigned after they and their families | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
were allegedly subjected to threats and abuse by opponents | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
within the Muslim community. In a joint statement, | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
they said that their efforts to improve | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
the representation of women and financial transparency | :15:46. | :15:47. | |
at the mosque No one from the mosque has been | :15:48. | :15:48. | |
available for comment. Police Scotland have confirmed | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
they are investigating the matter. Two women have been | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
charged in connection with an assault at | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
a care home in Fife. The women, aged 57 and 61, | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
were arrested following allegations of an assault at the Chapel Level | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
Care Home in Kirkcaldy. said it had suspended | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
a number of staff. A man has been arrested | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
and charged in connection with a fatal fire | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
in Fraserburgh 18 years ago. Gordon Graham died in the blaze | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
in the town's High Street The 42-year-old man is due to appear | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
at Peterhead Sheriff Court tomorrow. Plans have been unveiled | :16:25. | :16:34. | |
for a new section The stretch east of Inverness | :16:35. | :16:36. | |
includes proposals to bypass the town of Nairn and contains | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
a separate 18-mile pathway for walkers, cyclists | :16:44. | :16:45. | |
and horse riders. It's the first part of the Scottish | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
Government's commitment to dual the entire route | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
between Inverness and Aberdeen. Work is about to start | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
on a complete restoration and extension of one of Europe's | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
most historic cinemas. Details of a ?2.5 million contract | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
to re-open the Picture House and the cinema should | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
reopen next spring. It's another giant leap | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
for Scotland in space. A rocket from the Hebrides missile | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
range in the Western Isles has become the first to be launched | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
into space from UK soil. But the achievement - | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
which happened last year - Our science correspondent | :17:27. | :17:28. | |
Kenneth Macdonald has this report. It was the military exercise almost | :17:29. | :17:48. | |
in passing. There was a large naval exercise run by Nato and as part of | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
that they were doing some missile intercept operations. So for the | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
first time they launched a missile from a kinetic operated range, it | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
went up and into space. That's the first time any object has been into | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
space from the UK. This is what it looked like. But there will be no | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
place in a museum for the American-made rocket because the | :18:14. | :18:15. | |
point of the exercise was to blow it to bits over the North Atlantic. | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
Nonetheless, a first for the to bits over the North Atlantic. | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
a first for the Hebrides Missile range. That's where my family is | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
from, so great to see some real spacecraft going up into orbit from | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
Scotland. That could happen soon. Prestwick and Campbeltown are among | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
the six sites mind to be the first UK spaceport. It would handle | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
horizontal take-offs like those by virgin collect it. So there could be | :18:45. | :18:47. | |

Police will come to see space launchers. People go to Cape | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
Canaveral to see rockets launched. They even go to Ross well in New | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
Mexico to look at a plastic alien because they are so interested in | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
space. Half a million people just go to a bar to look at a plastic alien. | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
Scotland to a bar to look at a plastic alien. | :19:09. | :19:14. | |

America, that is a long it to the launch site in South | :19:28. | :19:28. | |

period. The company that runs the Hebrides range for the MoD said they | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
had no plans to use it for a commercial spaceport although they | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
do say they have the commercial expertise to support a Spaceport | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
anywhere in the UK. And the next port of call... Sorry! | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
The Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes says his team face their toughest | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
task of the season tonight when Premiership leaders | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
As you can see, just six points separate the teams | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
But after tonight's match, there will be 14 games left | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
and the difference could jump to nine points | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
This is the third meeting of the top two sides this meeting. It is | :20:14. | :20:32. | |
This is the third meeting of the top with Aberdeen the winners last time | :20:33. | :20:34. | |
Pittodrie was the venue. with Aberdeen the winners last time | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
always a tough challenge for us, with Aberdeen the winners last time | :20:39. | :20:39. | |
for any team in the league, with Aberdeen the winners last time | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
always the toughest fixture but for with Aberdeen the winners last time | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
us, it is also the fixture that gives us the most opportunity to | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
us, it is also the fixture that against them and to inflict, you | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
know, some damage on them as well. We have already beaten Celtic, | :20:56. | :20:56. | |
know, some damage on them as well. would be nice to do it again and | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
that is what we hope to do. Smiles from Ronny Deila yesterday after | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
picking up manager of the month for January, which is slightly | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
picking up manager of the month for to Sunday, after the league cup | :21:07. | :21:16. | |
defeat from Ross County. Celtic's travel hopes potentially in | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
smithereens again! Very disappointed at the weekend, all of the players | :21:22. | :21:22. | |
and everybody, but it is three days at the weekend, all of the players | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
later and a very important game again and we can put ourselves in a | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
very good position, so we have everything to go for up there at | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
Pittodrie and get three points, get nine points clear, that is very good | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
if we can do that. Aberdeen are unbeaten in their last ten league | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
games, while Celtic have lost only three domestic matches all season. | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
The question is, whose impressive statistics will be enhanced tonight? | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
And full coverage of the match is on BBC Radio Scotland, | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
The radio programme is underway already. | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
The Rangers manager Mark Warburton says he's not concerned | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
about what his Championship rivals are doing, after watching his team | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
retain their eight-point lead at the top. | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
Andy Halliday was the goal hero for Rangers in a hard-fought win | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
Nearest challengers Hibernian kept up the chase with the same scoreline | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
at Morton - recent loan signing Anthony Stokes the man | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
After Celtic's top of the table Premiership match against Aberdeen | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
they face an altogether different challenge. | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
The Lowland league side East Kilbride | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
If the part timers from South Lanarkshire win, | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
it would be the biggest upset in the world of football. | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
It would also make them ?5,000 per man richer. | :22:40. | :22:47. | |
While he is doing this... They are doing that. And when he is doing | :22:48. | :22:59. | |
that... He is doing this. Such is the life of a part-time footballer. | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
This is where I work during the week, from quarter past six until | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
quarter past two on back of the road from Monday to Friday and there in | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
the nights, and on a Saturday. Not this weekend. Anton and team-mate | :23:14. | :23:21. | |
Jordan are playing on a Sunday, when East Kilbride face Celtic. We are | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
trying to embrace it, really, because it is a once-in-a-lifetime | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
opportunity. The kitchen company they work for is promising to pay | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
every East Kilbride layer 5,000 pounds if they beat the Scottish | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
champions. -- player. Money shouldn't be an incentive, you are | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
champions. -- player. Money into football to enjoy it and get as | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
high as you can. Football is a funny game, 11 against 11 at the end of | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
the day, you never know what can happen. And East Kilbride win may be | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
fanciful but in the town, there are some believers. We are playing | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
Celtic, but we will see. It is a one off, but let's hope they win, Celtic | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
playing rubbish. I think 2-0. Even if they pull off the biggest upset | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
in the history of Scottish football, come Monday morning, Anton and | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
George Jordan will be back making kitchen units. | :24:21. | :24:22. | |
Some new sports pundits there, get them on! | :24:23. | :24:24. | |
An unfinished documentary about the Highlands - | :24:25. | :24:26. | |
begun in the '50s - is to be completed and and given a premiere. | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
It was made by a group of film-makers who ran out of money, | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
but 60 years on, it will, at last, be shown on the big screen. | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
Our arts correspondent Pauline McLean reports. | :24:36. | :24:45. | |
Lost Treasure examines the changing face of the Highlands in the 1950s. | :24:46. | :24:55. | |
The most ambitious programme to date for a film collective based in | :24:56. | :25:03. | |
Glasgow. Just a sheep farm, a bog... But the film was never finished, the | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
project abandoned when the group ran out of money and forgotten until | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
film Festival director Matt Lloyd contacted the Scottish film at grid | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
archive. Not only did they have all of that footage sat there that as | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
far as we know hadn't been used in any form, they also had the original | :25:25. | :25:31. | |
script. So, really, I was really keen to bring this film and footage | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
to the light of day. The script meant they could not only edited the | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
film but create a new soundtrack. You can guess what mood they were | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
after and although that mood might involve using different music now, | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
it does give you a pointer towards the sort of tone that they would | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
like to have had over that particular part of the script. It is | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
like a sort of phantom director that is not in the room with you but is | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
in the script to help you along and guide you. And while the original | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
film-makers may not be around to see the premiere and live score, it is | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
hoped some of their families will. Maybe there are children and | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
grandchildren that we can contact or might hear about this and come out | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
of the woodwork and maybe there was more footage that was shot. As far | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
as we know, this is all the footage we have but there may be more reels | :26:25. | :26:32. | |
in someone's garage somewhere. And maybe there is a sequel to this | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
aptly named Lost Treasure. Now here's Andrew Kerr | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
with details of Scotland 2016. We will have expert analysis on | :26:40. | :26:49. | |
today's budget debate as the fight rages over proposed tax hikes. | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
European arguments escalate in the House of Commons, we hear from those | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
in favour of in and out. And up, up under way, more on the story of the | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
space rocket. That is Scotland 2016 tonight. | :27:07. | :27:07. | |
A nicer day for some of us weatherwise, here's Gillian | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
Hopefully you made the most of the sunshine, that is all I will say. | :27:11. | :27:17. | |
Good evening, it was a lovely day the most of us compared to what we | :27:18. | :27:20. | |
have had, lots of scenes like this one sent in by one of our weather | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
Watchers, but it is set to go downhill. Most of us are starting | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
the night dry, temperatures falling away quite rapidly, a few wintry | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
showers for the Northern Isles and into the wintry air, a weather | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
front, so turning wintry. For central and southern Scotland, the | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
snow mainly confined to the hills but for Perthshire Northwoods, we | :27:43. | :27:47. | |
could see some wet snow is, and accumulations on higher level roads. | :27:48. | :27:50. | |
It could be short lived because we are pulling in milder air and by the | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
end of the night, up to five or six Celsius on the West Coast and it is | :27:55. | :27:57. | |
an indication of what is to come because during tomorrow, the warm | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
front works its way steadily eastwards, introducing milder air | :28:03. | :28:04. | |
but also introducing a lot of cloud and outbreaks of rain. Most of it | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
will be light and patchy, but certainly amounting to a grey day | :28:09. | :28:13. | |
compared to what we had today. So this is the picture | :28:14. | :28:24. | |
around three o'clock, drizzle for the southern uplands, the central | :28:25. | :28:27. | |
belt and up into the central highlands. Quite persistent at this | :28:28. | :28:29. | |
stage for Aberdeenshire and the North Highlands, with Shetland | :28:30. | :28:31. | |
bearing best in terms of weather, fine day here. Temperatures more | :28:32. | :28:34. | |
like four or five Celsius. Into the evening, the rain does get up to | :28:35. | :28:39. | |
Shetland and elsewhere across the country, it stays cloudy and damp | :28:40. | :28:42. | |
and the rain is most persistent across western Scotland. Another | :28:43. | :28:44. | |
relatively mild night but then we head into Friday and it is all | :28:45. | :28:47. | |
change once again as this cold front works its way across the country, so | :28:48. | :28:52. | |
eventually it will turn colder through the day and we will also see | :28:53. | :28:56. | |
some heavy rain with this one, particularly for West and south-west | :28:57. | :28:59. | |
Scotland and a yellow warning from the Met Office, meaning be aware, | :29:00. | :29:04. | |
because it could lead to issues with localised flooding and hazardous | :29:05. | :29:07. | |
driving conditions, becoming windy with the wind is touching Gale force | :29:08. | :29:11. | |
around the coast. The rain clears the Saturday with a bright start, | :29:12. | :29:14. | |
wet and windy for the south-west later on. That is the forecast. | :29:15. | :29:17. | |
Now, a reminder of tonight's main news. | :29:18. | :29:18. | |
MSPs have rejected an increase in Scottish income tax from April. | :29:19. | :29:21. | |
Labour had called for a penny increase in tax at all levels, | :29:22. | :29:24. | |
But in a vote at Holyrood a majority of MSPs said no to that - | :29:25. | :29:34. | |
I'll be back with the headlines at 8-- and the late bulletin just | :29:35. | :29:39. |
