:00:22. > :00:34.Good evening. It has been five years in the making but today, the
:00:35. > :00:40.Shetland supplier said they will provide commercial gas from now on.
:00:41. > :00:48.At the centre of this development is this new gas plant. Next door to
:00:49. > :00:58.bestseller, it is one of the biggest construction project in the UK since
:00:59. > :01:04.the Olympic Games. We will supply a lot of gas to the UK. A very
:01:05. > :01:15.significant development. To make way for this development, over 1.5
:01:16. > :01:26.tonnes of peat has been dug up. For apprentice Danny Farnworth, it
:01:27. > :01:31.opportunity to start his career. Bye-bye oil and gas, no one comes
:01:32. > :01:37.out of the ground, it is not in a very good state. It is my job to
:01:38. > :01:47.operate the machinery and part of the processes making oil. Only now
:01:48. > :01:51.is the technology in place to restrict the gas. What we have done
:01:52. > :01:53.here is your take on one of the longest tiebacks in
:01:54. > :02:02.the world for an installation and taking it into the UK. At the peak
:02:03. > :02:11.of the construction, more than 2.5 thousand contractors were working on
:02:12. > :02:14.site. With such a significant investment in Shetland, there has
:02:15. > :02:21.been a great spin off in the local economy with local contractors
:02:22. > :02:28.engaged in subcontracting. The project has created around 200 new
:02:29. > :02:32.jobs. There was also gas flowing into the terminal. Instead of people
:02:33. > :02:38.losing their jobs, that is about the future, not just in Shetland but
:02:39. > :02:47.across the UK. Parker of being a dying industry, there is a law of
:02:48. > :02:50.life in Shetland. -- far from being. This project is seen as keen to
:02:51. > :02:57.opening up the region to further development. What hope is there that
:02:58. > :03:07.this new field will be the start of a residence for a new industry? You
:03:08. > :03:13.is Douglas Fraser. The UK's offshore industry as pumped
:03:14. > :03:16.around 42 billion barrels of oil. Estimates are that it could
:03:17. > :03:22.realistically extract another 15 billion or so, but making it happen
:03:23. > :03:30.is not aetiology. Until recently, there was an investment into
:03:31. > :03:34.developing untapped fields. Until recently, there was ?40 billion
:03:35. > :03:50.spent on investment. Nearly 10 billion was for the tour more Latin
:03:51. > :03:54.projects. -- Tormore-Laggan. New commitments to big investments are
:03:55. > :03:58.rare. Why is that? Well, there is the high cost of production per
:03:59. > :04:02.barrel in British waters. There is not the much drilling around Britain
:04:03. > :04:07.recently with poor success rate with the little there has been. While the
:04:08. > :04:14.oil field here has the job, it is quite tough. Elsewhere, there are
:04:15. > :04:21.better prospects in places like Africa, Brazil and the Artic. The
:04:22. > :04:31.price may also go up again, which is brought uncertainty. In nearly 2000
:04:32. > :04:36.feet of the stormy Atlantic, there is no platform. Oil heads are
:04:37. > :04:42.controlled by a recruitment on the sea bed and operated onshore. There
:04:43. > :04:49.is a new pipeline to be cleaned with a vast new plan on Shetland to buy
:04:50. > :04:52.it to Aberdeen. The pipeline alone cost ?1 billion. It is a pioneering
:04:53. > :05:08.project and it has been held up by Nikos conditions. The tower...
:05:09. > :05:12.During the cross section phase, it has been difficult. Sign given what
:05:13. > :05:17.has happened to the gas price in the last few months, if you get the same
:05:18. > :05:24.investment decision now, would it still get the thumbs up? It is a
:05:25. > :05:35.difficult question. The site of the project depends on our forecast on
:05:36. > :05:41.prices. We invest for a long period, 20 years. The UK has some advantage
:05:42. > :05:50.and this project has some positive points. It is very difficult to say
:05:51. > :05:53.whether two-day we could or not. Apart from the price and technical
:05:54. > :06:00.obstacles, there is another challenge facing the industry. The
:06:01. > :06:07.Paris climate change could put new restrictions on it as countries face
:06:08. > :06:10.commitments to do their part. Some of the more expensive oil and gas
:06:11. > :06:19.may happen to stay under the sea bed. The Orkney and Shetland MP has
:06:20. > :06:29.lost his bid to have his illegal feed paid -- legal fees paid. He was
:06:30. > :06:33.cleared in December. A further hearing today confirmed that those
:06:34. > :06:44.who brought the case should not have to pay his legal bill, approximately
:06:45. > :06:47.?150,000. The drama of the Scottish Cup was extended off the field this
:06:48. > :06:51.evening during the draw for the quarterfinals. The process had to be
:06:52. > :06:58.restarted after one of the balls being drawn broke open. I am sorry,
:06:59. > :07:08.I will have to redraw the last two guys. -- ties. In the first draw,
:07:09. > :07:14.Celtic were alleged to play Dundee United at Tannadice. Once it had
:07:15. > :07:24.been redrawn, they got drawn against Greenock Morton at home. Dundee
:07:25. > :07:34.United will be a to Ross County. -- away to. Talks in Edinburgh aimed at
:07:35. > :07:43.ending a dispute over Scottish public spending is ended without
:07:44. > :07:54.agreement. Both sides admit that they are still far apart. The
:07:55. > :07:57.Treasury say that their offer was potentially better than the money
:07:58. > :08:04.that would be delivered by the Barnett formula. They say looking
:08:05. > :08:09.forward, looking ahead, the Treasury proposal is potentially over a
:08:10. > :08:12.period of ten years cut billions from the Scottish budget. Both sides
:08:13. > :08:17.are meant that they are willing to continue negotiations to continue
:08:18. > :08:22.the talks. The next stage is likely to be an offer, a new offer or
:08:23. > :08:24.revised offer to be tabled by the Scottish Government of which they
:08:25. > :08:29.say they can address the concerns that remain from the Treasury. As
:08:30. > :08:34.things stand tonight here in Edinburgh, it doesn't look like a
:08:35. > :08:37.deal is immediately on the cards. In particular, it will track the
:08:38. > :08:40.deadline set by the Scottish Parliament to get these negotiations
:08:41. > :08:48.concluded by Friday, by the end of this week, that looks like slipping.
:08:49. > :08:54.Western Isles Council has described positive, the meeting with Loganair
:08:55. > :09:01.to discuss the reliability of their services to the islands. The LN has
:09:02. > :09:04.been criticised following an increased number of bill flight
:09:05. > :09:10.being delayed by technical problems. -- flight being delayed. You might
:09:11. > :09:22.think your blog is pretty clever. You can approve it using a dog IQ
:09:23. > :09:28.test. -- daughter is pretty clever. A full bowl of dog food. A snack
:09:29. > :09:32.sized portion. This is the sort of experiment you may want to try at
:09:33. > :09:35.home if your dog chooses the bigger ball ahead of the smaller one, it
:09:36. > :09:40.might be that there are more intelligent. Not in this case then.
:09:41. > :09:49.Sometimes it is just what is in front of your nose. I'm not sure
:09:50. > :09:52.what that test told you about this dog's IQ but the scientist who
:09:53. > :10:01.designed and IQ test the blogs and that it could have implications for
:10:02. > :10:05.humans. Research says that brighter humans tend to live longer, we are
:10:06. > :10:12.hoping to see if that can translate to dogs to, especially regarding
:10:13. > :10:21.diseases like dementia. Some dogs do tend to get symptoms of dementia so
:10:22. > :10:25.we hope to try and see about how it developments, if there are any links
:10:26. > :10:32.between how quickly they get it as humans tend to get it at a rate of
:10:33. > :10:39.about 70 years old. Scientists know a thing to other blogs and makes
:10:40. > :10:45.them tick. A smart dog is not for everyone. We do read home dogs who
:10:46. > :10:49.are very intelligent but a lot of people prefer the company of Scilly,
:10:50. > :10:53.fluffy dogs who just want to play and have a good time, there is
:10:54. > :10:58.nothing wrong with that as well. Owners think comparing dogs Anshuman
:10:59. > :11:00.intelligence makes perfect sense. I do think we share them
:11:01. > :11:09.characteristics, I'm quite stubborn as well. We are made to each other.
:11:10. > :11:17.One of them was quite stupid. As thick as two short planks. It is
:11:18. > :11:23.wonderful. How about the ultimate IQ test? What human dropout wants to be
:11:24. > :11:38.out in this weather? -- what human would want? Now, the weather.
:11:39. > :11:51.Well, we escaped the worst of Storm Imogen today where England and Wales
:11:52. > :11:57.got the worst of it. There are dangerous driving conditions on the
:11:58. > :12:01.west. Further north, it is mainly dry and clear skies in the north
:12:02. > :12:05.east allowing some frost figures into tomorrow morning. A wet start
:12:06. > :12:08.for the salad, snow for the higher ground and crisp sunshine to start
:12:09. > :12:12.the day across the Highlands and north east weather will be a risk of
:12:13. > :12:16.IT services. Still some heavy rain to come for Northern Ireland, a dry
:12:17. > :12:21.start in Cumbria and thumbs over the Pennines. Across England and Wales,
:12:22. > :12:27.a lot of dry, bright, crisp weather to start the day but there will be a
:12:28. > :12:32.risk of ice. Wintry over the higher ground. As we go through the day,
:12:33. > :12:36.that higher than the brain works its way southwards into north Wales and
:12:37. > :12:40.the Midlands. 20 of crisp sunshine developing into central and southern
:12:41. > :12:46.Scotland. Further north, showers in the aisles and Aberdeenshire. It
:12:47. > :12:55.will be wintry over the high ground with some sleep injuries snow too.
:12:56. > :12:59.Tomorrow evening, that bank brain works its way southwards with no
:13:00. > :13:03.very high ground in New Orleans the Borders for a time. More places will
:13:04. > :13:12.turn dry as we head into Wednesday. But when itself, dry and write with
:13:13. > :13:15.cold, northerly winds. A scattered showers affecting northern and
:13:16. > :13:24.eastern coast. For central and southern Scotland, it will be dry
:13:25. > :13:30.and bright with some chilly weather. It will stay of the border the most
