exclusive investigation. That's all from BBC News at Six PM. Back with

:00:00.:00:00.

the latest at 10pm. Now we joined the BBC News teams where you are.

:00:00.:00:00.

Shots are fired, as police apprehend five men in Arbroath after the theft

:00:00.:00:11.

A new hardship fund for farmers hit by delays to EU farm payments.

:00:12.:00:15.

We're taking to the slopes, where Scotland's ski resorts

:00:16.:00:18.

are gearing up for their busiest weekend of the year.

:00:19.:00:22.

And the snow's here after a mild few months.

:00:23.:00:33.

It was windy up top but it was nice to see the sun. The snow is fresh.

You can get speed up and get some good skiing.

And join me later, where Scotland's aim is not to finish the second six

:00:49.:01:00.

Nations weekend in these. Five men have been detained

:01:01.:01:13.

in a police operation During it, armed officers fired

:01:14.:01:16.

shots to blow out the tyres Police Scotland says specialist

:01:17.:01:20.

rounds were used to disable the vehicles, in order to reduce

:01:21.:01:24.

the risk to members of the public. The operation was in connection

:01:25.:01:27.

with the theft of a cash machine from a supermarket in Carnoustie

:01:28.:01:30.

in the early hours of this morning. High drama this morning at the car

:01:31.:01:47.

park of this McDonald's restaurant in Arbroath. Police officers,

:01:48.:01:52.

specialist firearms officers, swooped to detain five men they

:01:53.:01:55.

believed to be involved in the theft of a cash machine from Carnoustie, a

:01:56.:02:03.

shop seven miles south from here. Firearms were discharged during this

:02:04.:02:07.

incident, not against any person but to blow out the tyres of the cars.

:02:08.:02:14.

It has been a day of a lot of police activity in various parts of Angus.

:02:15.:02:20.

It was around 10:30am when shocked diners at the McDonald's restaurant

:02:21.:02:24.

in Arbroath saw the police operation swing into action. Specialist

:02:25.:02:29.

officers swooped on five men in the car park. There were reports of two

:02:30.:02:35.

or three gunshots. Police Scotland later confirmed that tyre

:02:36.:02:38.

deflationary ounce had been fired, believed to be a shot gun type

:02:39.:02:44.

device to stop vehicles in their tracks. No one was injured. A

:02:45.:02:48.

cartridge could later be seen under one of the cars. The five men were

:02:49.:02:54.

detained in connection with the theft of a cash machine from inside

:02:55.:02:58.

this supermarket seven miles away in Carnoustie, which was reported at

:02:59.:03:03.

around 4:30am. This afternoon, a heavy police presence at this this

:03:04.:03:09.

used property on the outskirts of Carnoustie. This is looking very

:03:10.:03:13.

much like an intelligence led operation. Police Scotland's

:03:14.:03:18.

organised crime unit and the North West England regional crime unit

:03:19.:03:25.

were involved. At any point, were members of the public at risk? No.

:03:26.:03:31.

Very important when we are mounting operations of this kind,

:03:32.:03:34.

particularly involving firearms officers, that we continue the risks

:03:35.:03:40.

and do everything to minimise. The incident has been referred to the

:03:41.:03:45.

police investigations and review commission, a routine decision when

:03:46.:03:52.

firearms used. The restaurant is back to normal tonight. The cars

:03:53.:03:56.

involved in the incident have been removed. I said in the report that

:03:57.:04:01.

no one was injured. We have now found out that a police officer was

:04:02.:04:05.

slightly injured in the incident in the car park. The one bit of the

:04:06.:04:10.

jigsaw we are not sure of is the reason for that high level of police

:04:11.:04:13.

activity at the disused property on the outskirts of Carnoustie. The

:04:14.:04:20.

police investigation, it has routinely been referred. Two

:04:21.:04:28.

vehicles had their tyres damaged in the firearms incident. The use of

:04:29.:04:32.

firearms by police in Scotland is still a very rare event.

:04:33.:04:35.

Farmers hit by delays to EU payments will be offered loans

:04:36.:04:37.

from a ?20 million hardship fund set up

:04:38.:04:39.

The Rural Affairs Secretary, Richard Lochhead, apologised

:04:40.:04:42.

to farmers for not being able to process payments on time

:04:43.:04:45.

because of failures in a new IT system.

:04:46.:04:49.

Farmers have warned of a "cash flow crisis".

:04:50.:04:51.

In the cab, Farmer John. He was born on this farm just outside Saint

:04:52.:05:08.

Andrews. His main income is from cereal crops but he relies on EU

:05:09.:05:12.

subsidies to support his business throughout the year. He is yet to

:05:13.:05:16.

receive a penny of the payments he would expect. The subsidy payments

:05:17.:05:21.

that would have come in January would have paid for the things we

:05:22.:05:26.

need to get ready for next season. You have demand from your supply

:05:27.:05:29.

trade and you just have to meet it. If you want the staff when you need

:05:30.:05:33.

it, you have to pay for it. It is all about cash flow. It has been a

:05:34.:05:39.

difficult year for farming. Pretty awful weather, the markets have been

:05:40.:05:42.

challenging and in addition there has been a significant change in the

:05:43.:05:46.

way European subsidies are delivered to farmers in Scotland. It is down

:05:47.:05:52.

to the Scottish Government to administer the payments, but

:05:53.:05:55.

problems with their new computer system means 60% of farmers are yet

:05:56.:06:04.

to receive the money they are due. I am sorry. At the annual conference,

:06:05.:06:08.

they did not hold back on letting the Cabinet Secretary know how they

:06:09.:06:13.

felt. We need to know what we are getting now. He could not put a

:06:14.:06:17.

timescale on when payments would be made but said the hardship fund

:06:18.:06:22.

would help the worst off. Payments are far slower than we expected. We

:06:23.:06:26.

have extra staff to try and speed up the process of applications, to fix

:06:27.:06:31.

the problems with the IT system. We have this ?20 million fund to help

:06:32.:06:36.

those businesses who are concerned that unpaid bills are sitting on the

:06:37.:06:41.

kitchen table. The NFU says it is having an impact. When I am due to

:06:42.:06:46.

pay tax to the government, they do not wait a year, they add interest.

:06:47.:06:52.

Why is the reverse not happening? That small bit might mean enough to

:06:53.:06:56.

that business to get them through a tricky time. Total farming income is

:06:57.:07:00.

expected to be down for the second year in a row. The delay in support

:07:01.:07:04.

payments is another blow for farmers as they try to weather the storm.

:07:05.:07:07.

Finance Secretary John Swinney has written to the Treasury with a fresh

:07:08.:07:09.

proposal on the financial arrangements underpinning

:07:10.:07:11.

His offer follows weeks of deadlock between ministers in Edinburgh

:07:12.:07:14.

and London over the fiscal framework.

:07:15.:07:17.

Mr Swinney says his plan will ensure taxpayers in the rest of the UK

:07:18.:07:20.

are not any worse off as a result of powers being devolved

:07:21.:07:23.

The chances of a strike at most of Scotland's

:07:24.:07:30.

Members of the EIS Further Education Lecturers' Association

:07:31.:07:35.

Our Education correspondent Jamie McIvor is here now.

:07:36.:07:38.

It is a long-running pay dispute. One factor is the proposed pay rise,

:07:39.:07:53.

and another is its planned imposition, and a third factor is

:07:54.:07:57.

the discrepancy between different rates of pay at different colleges.

:07:58.:08:02.

This dispute stretches back more than the year. National pay

:08:03.:08:06.

bargaining was reintroduced in colleges but there are still

:08:07.:08:09.

significant differences between what people may earn doing the same or

:08:10.:08:11.

similar jobs at different institutions. The colleges

:08:12.:08:16.

themselves say the union is continuing to mix the issue of the

:08:17.:08:21.

simple annual pay rise with these discrepancies, and they argue that

:08:22.:08:25.

the union is making a pay claim that is unrealistic. You mention the main

:08:26.:08:29.

factors. The colleges have been going through a big shake-up

:08:30.:08:34.

recently. To what extent is that playing out in the background? Think

:08:35.:08:38.

of the mood music. This dispute is about pay and it will be solved if

:08:39.:08:42.

there is an agreement on pay, but let's think of the background. The

:08:43.:08:46.

strike ballot runs until early March, so if there is a strike it

:08:47.:08:50.

could well happen before Easter, just as we are heading into the

:08:51.:08:53.

election campaign. Colleges have been through a big shake-up in

:08:54.:08:57.

recent years. Overall budgets have been cut, jobs have gone and there

:08:58.:09:02.

has been a debate over the change in the role of colleges. There are now

:09:03.:09:06.

fewer part-time students. So education will be a big part of the

:09:07.:09:11.

election debate anyway. So if there is a strike just as we are heading

:09:12.:09:14.

into that election campaign, that is bound to be a factor in the debate.

:09:15.:09:17.

Thank you. You're watching Reporting

:09:18.:09:19.

Scotland from the BBC. Car engine parts,

:09:20.:09:21.

a carpet and an aeroplane propeller - all part of this year's

:09:22.:09:25.

British Art Show which opens In sport, we are live in Cardiff on

:09:26.:09:39.

the eve of Scotland's match against Wales and the chief executive of the

:09:40.:09:44.

SPF L describes plans to revamp the Champions League as sinister. More

:09:45.:09:45.

on that later. Scotland's ski resorts are gearing

:09:46.:09:48.

up for what promises to be their busiest weekend

:09:49.:09:50.

of the season so far. The week of the half-term school

:09:51.:09:53.

holidays is a vital period And as Craig Anderson reports,

:09:54.:09:56.

the early indications are good. For Scotland's snow sports areas

:09:57.:10:11.

this season has been up and down, but with reasonable cover and a

:10:12.:10:15.

promising forecast, the next few days should offer decent conditions.

:10:16.:10:20.

And at half term that is good news, not just for operating companies but

:10:21.:10:24.

for the local communities that surround them. It is the busiest

:10:25.:10:29.

time of year. For every pound spent here, a further ?5 is then spent in

:10:30.:10:35.

the local area, whether retail, accommodation, bars, restaurants. It

:10:36.:10:41.

is a big-time us. It was busy at Cairngorm, with more than 1200

:10:42.:10:46.

customers hitting the slopes. Today's sunny conditions allowed for

:10:47.:10:51.

alfresco dining. A bit windy up top but it was nice to see the sun.

:10:52.:10:57.

Quite windy, but as soon as you drop down, the snow is fresh and you can

:10:58.:11:01.

get some good speed and some good skiing. Scotland's ski areas will

:11:02.:11:08.

never compete with the top Alpine resorts, but they say if you can ski

:11:09.:11:14.

here, you can ski anywhere. And maintaining these operations rose up

:11:15.:11:19.

daily challenges. Keeping the momentum going, getting open a few

:11:20.:11:22.

days, keeping the machinery and infrastructure working. A lot of

:11:23.:11:28.

damage, a lot of ice, problems with snow cannons freezing up, it is a

:11:29.:11:34.

massive challenge but we love it. The unpredictable weather means that

:11:35.:11:38.

skiing in Scotland can be a bit of a lottery. But when the conditions are

:11:39.:11:42.

fine, it can be as good as anything the outs has to offer. Today has

:11:43.:11:46.

been a good start to the weekend and all of the ski areas in Scotland are

:11:47.:11:50.

hoping that will continue for this next crucial week to come.

:11:51.:11:54.

A 32-year-old man has appeared in court in Paisley charged

:11:55.:11:57.

Shemislav Sveeder was arrested along with another man, after three houses

:11:58.:12:03.

and a garage were raided by police in Paisley on Wednesday.

:12:04.:12:06.

The BBC understands Engine Engineering in Paisley

:12:07.:12:09.

The operation, led by HM Revenue and Customs, was part

:12:10.:12:14.

of an investigation into theft, fuel fraud and tax evasion.

:12:15.:12:17.

Luxury cars, IT equipment and firearms were seized.

:12:18.:12:24.

The number of qualified teachers working in nurseries has dropped

:12:25.:12:26.

substantially, according to the EIS union.

:12:27.:12:30.

It says the number of registered teachers in nursery schools

:12:31.:12:35.

and classes has fallen by almost 30% in 10 years.

:12:36.:12:38.

The authors also found that qualified teachers played a key role

:12:39.:12:44.

in promoting literacy and mentoring other nursery staff.

:12:45.:12:46.

The Scottish government said it was committed to ensuring nursery

A look at other stories from across the country.

:12:49.:12:55.

A woman who conned a couple into believing she was carrying

:12:56.:12:58.

their surrogate baby, has been jailed for two years

:12:59.:13:00.

25-year-old Samantha Brown from Tain defrauded the would-be parents

:13:01.:13:07.

of more than ?8000 and even sent them fake

:13:08.:13:10.

baby scans and details of hospital appointments.

:13:11.:13:15.

Brown, who admitted the scam at an earlier court hearing,

:13:16.:13:17.

eventually pretended she had been in a car crash and that the baby

:13:18.:13:20.

Police are trying to trace a pick-up driver, seen near the scene

:13:21.:13:26.

of a fatal crash on the A701 in Dumfries and Galloway,

:13:27.:13:31.

32-year-old Patricia McAuslan died in the accident

:13:32.:13:36.

Police said the occupants of a yellow pick-up vehicle

:13:37.:13:41.

with an amber flashing light may have witnessed the crash.

:13:42.:13:46.

Argyll and Bute councillors have agreed savings in the coming year

:13:47.:13:49.

Amongst the cuts there'll be 80 full-time equivalent

:13:50.:13:53.

Cuts will be made to roads maintenance and grass-cutting

:13:54.:13:58.

services, and domestic bins will only be emptied once

:13:59.:14:00.

Members also agreed that council leisure centres and swimming pools

:14:01.:14:05.

A plush office built for Fred Goodwin, when he was chief

:14:06.:14:12.

executive of the Royal Bank of Scotland, has been turned

:14:13.:14:16.

The "executive wing" at the bank's Edinburgh headquarters has been

:14:17.:14:20.

occupied by those setting up in business.

:14:21.:14:31.

This is a business accelerator harbour we have opened up. We have

:14:32.:14:37.

created a centre where we bring in businesses and entrepreneurs to

:14:38.:14:41.

provide support, mentoring, free facilities alongside technology

:14:42.:14:44.

solutions to help small businesses get going.

:14:45.:14:46.

Trees from Aberdeenshire are to be used in the conservation of one

:14:47.:14:48.

of the Royal Navy's most famous warships.

:14:49.:14:50.

Timber from the Dunecht, Haddo and MacRobert Trust estates

:14:51.:14:52.

is being sent to Portsmouth, as part of the work to restore HMS

Victory, best known as Lord Nelson's flagship at the Battle

:14:56.:14:58.

On the programme this week we've been meeting the people who work

:14:59.:15:09.

In his third and final report, Ian Hamilton talks to a man who's

:15:10.:15:13.

been building his business over the last fifty years beside

:15:14.:15:16.

At 271st miles the A9 is the longest road in Scotland and the fifth

:15:17.:15:32.

longest in the UK and was first designated as an AE road in 1923 and

:15:33.:15:35.

originally ran from Edinburgh to Inverness. The route now begins in

:15:36.:15:44.

Stirlingshire. I run the services and motor grill and have been here

:15:45.:15:50.

since 1970. This road going round the corner was the main are four

:15:51.:15:58.

nine. When he opened his business 46 years ago the A9 was not where it is

:15:59.:16:04.

now. It ran straight past his front door. I opened a filling station and

:16:05.:16:12.

a workshop in which we did repairs. In 1983 when we were bypassed with

:16:13.:16:18.

the new A9, we diversify it and build a restaurant here, such as you

:16:19.:16:27.

see today. In the 1960s and 1970s, towns and villages along the road

:16:28.:16:31.

were slowly coming to a standstill. I can remember my mother and father

:16:32.:16:36.

on a Saturday morning, there would be traffic jams write down about two

:16:37.:16:43.

miles south of here, seven miles of traffic, absolutely solid. When they

:16:44.:16:49.

built the A9 you can see at the moment, it was just bypassing the

:16:50.:16:55.

communities. At that time they said, we will not allow any big service

:16:56.:17:02.

areas to be built. Because of that, it has kept the small communities

:17:03.:17:08.

alive. Clive employs 33 people, all of them local. He says 95% of his

:17:09.:17:13.

business relies on the A9, and without it his business would

:17:14.:17:23.

struggle. Alongside David Currie. How is the sport?

:17:24.:17:27.

On the eve of facing Wales in the 6 Nations the Scotland players say

:17:28.:17:32.

they want to repay the faith shown to them by head coach Vern Cotter.

:17:33.:17:36.

After last week's narrow defeat to England the national team

:17:37.:17:38.

are in Cardiff bidding to halt an 8 game losing streak

:17:39.:17:41.

Phil Goodlad is at the national stadium in Cardiff for us -

:17:42.:17:45.

Phil, what chance of Scotland bouncing back?

:17:46.:17:46.

What chance of a win in Wales tomorrow? Well, David, for Scotland

:17:47.:17:50.

the aim is simple, to halt that winless run you speak about. But

:17:51.:17:54.

also the bounce back from a narrow defeat last week in Edinburgh

:17:55.:17:59.

against England. The problem is when you look at the record books, recent

:18:00.:18:04.

history shows here in Cardiff it's a tough place for Scottish teams. To

:18:05.:18:09.

come and win. Here at Cardiff Castle they know a thing or two about

:18:10.:18:13.

defence. About defending a fortress and keeping out the opposition.

:18:14.:18:17.

Whatever it takes. This is another stronghold, just once at the

:18:18.:18:22.

Scotland team won at the National Stadium since it was built in 1999.

:18:23.:18:30.

The last trip two years ago was... Try number seven for Wales. We are

:18:31.:18:36.

starting to get back into the swing of things quickly in terms of the

:18:37.:18:41.

training we are doing, I'm certain it will transfer into the match at

:18:42.:18:46.

the weekend. Wales are buoyed by the recovery of Dan Biggar. But wary of

:18:47.:18:49.

what they see as an improving opponent. They are a tough team to

:18:50.:18:54.

beat at the moment. If you are tough to beat couple of lucky decisions,

:18:55.:19:04.

you start winning games. Despite not yet winning the six Nations match,

:19:05.:19:07.

fans aren't gunning for the head coach, and his players. Vern Cotter,

:19:08.:19:13.

since he came into the setup, has been trying to stamp his mark on the

:19:14.:19:18.

game. He's getting there. There have been a few tight games, made a few

:19:19.:19:23.

wrong decisions at the wrong time. Just got to cut that out and won't

:19:24.:19:27.

be far away. The players are quite good, we've had a few narrow defeats

:19:28.:19:31.

basically. Hopefully Saturday will be a win. The aim for Scotland here

:19:32.:19:37.

in Cardiff is simple: win and begin a new chapter. It sounds simple,

:19:38.:19:43.

doesn't it, win and a new chapter begins? That is what Scotland will

:19:44.:19:49.

try to do here tomorrow. Also to give them a bounce, to give them a

:19:50.:19:53.

bit of buoyancy in their step. Because next week is a week off in

:19:54.:19:56.

the six Nations championship. The next time Scotland is inaction will

:19:57.:20:01.

be away in Rome in two weeks. How they would love to go to the eternal

:20:02.:20:05.

city buoyed by a victory tomorrow here in Cardiff.

:20:06.:20:11.

Proposals to revamp the Champions League are sinister, it is said.

:20:12.:20:17.

It could deny access to clubs smaller nations. It's the most

:20:18.:20:27.

prestigious club competition in European football, taking part with

:20:28.:20:32.

millions of pounds. There are two ways of getting in. Direct entries

:20:33.:20:37.

for teens, up to four from each of the big five Nations. England,

:20:38.:20:42.

France, Italy, Spain and Germany. Then the champions route for clubs

:20:43.:20:46.

from smaller nations, like Scotland, who marks face a series of

:20:47.:20:52.

qualifying rounds. Now amongst some in the big five there is a mood for

:20:53.:20:57.

change including a suggestion to exclude clubs from smaller countries

:20:58.:21:02.

altogether. There will be a huge reaction from the likes of Celtic

:21:03.:21:09.

and Benfica. Ajax. And the domestic associations. It won't go through in

:21:10.:21:14.

any form like what is presented at the moment. The danger still exist.

:21:15.:21:21.

Good fan power of the last danger? If fans are united across Europe in

:21:22.:21:25.

demonstrating they are not happy with any proposed changes, that is

qualification changing, then we wake up and it's too late.

:21:37.:21:41.

That was how Celtic became the first ever British team to win the

:21:42.:21:46.

European cup. It is highly unlikely a Scottish club will emulate

:21:47.:21:51.

Celtic's European cup win in 1967 if they are excluded altogether it'll

:21:52.:21:56.

be impossible. Celtic's failure to qualify for the season's competition

:21:57.:22:00.

has had an impact on the club's interim financial results with the

:22:01.:22:04.

chairman expressing his frustration. Revenue for the last six months of

:22:05.:22:08.

2015 in increased by just under half a percent to ?31.5 million. The club

of sale of defender Virgil van Dijk to Southampton. That is all from me.

:22:21.:22:25.

I'm confident, Phil has his lovely scarf on for the game in

Car engine parts, a conveyer belt and an aeroplane propeller are just

:22:29.:22:34.

some of the components of this year's British Art Show.

:22:35.:22:36.

It's staged every five years around the UK,

:22:37.:22:38.

and will be spread across three galleries in Edinburgh.

:22:39.:22:41.

As our arts correspondent Pauline McLean reports,

:22:42.:22:42.

A propeller dug up from a 60s film set, now centrestage at the British

:22:43.:22:54.

arts show, a showcase for 40 young artists from around the UK. You can

:22:55.:22:59.

ask the question, why is the spinning propeller piece of art?

:23:00.:23:03.

It's a really good question. What this exhibition... It poses that

:23:04.:23:08.

question. What do you consider to be art? Some things it's indisputable,

:23:09.:23:12.

that is a Picasso painting, I know it's art. These are rusty nail a

:23:13.:23:17.

piece of art? Can it be considered to be something of value? Good art

:23:18.:23:22.

does that, it's ambiguous in that way, it poses a question in the

:23:23.:23:24.

brain of the viewer. The showcase is staged every five

:23:25.:23:34.

years, celebrating the best of contemporary British art. It was

:23:35.:23:40.

last staged in Glasgow in 2011, but haven't been in Edinburgh for 15

:23:41.:23:43.

years and a lot has changed since then. What do you want? Artists like

:23:44.:23:53.

Rachel McLean don't see a line between art and design, performance

:23:54.:23:57.

and theatre, she includes it all in her video installation "Feed me".

:23:58.:24:01.

Scotland has become known as a place where art is made and shown and a

:24:02.:24:07.

place for seeing and imagining exciting art projects. I think it's

:24:08.:24:11.

something the public are aware of and excited by. British Art show

:24:12.:24:14.

contributes to that feeling. The show which opens tomorrow is

:24:15.:24:27.

spread across three venues in Edinburgh. The last one attracted

:24:28.:24:31.

almost half a million people. If they leave scratching their heads

:24:32.:24:36.

about contemporary art, it's just what the organisers intended.

:24:37.:24:41.

Let's see what the weekend weather has in store.

:24:42.:24:43.

Not too bad weather wise this weekend, a few flies in the

:24:44.:24:53.

ointment. Lovely guys across many parts of the country today, great

picture from a weather watcher. It wasn't the case everywhere. You can

:24:59.:25:01.

see the snow and rain pushing in across the north and north-east.

:25:02.:25:05.

This band of wet weather will stay with us as we head through the

:25:06.:25:09.

weekend. It'll move south. Several warnings in force from the Met

:25:27.:25:29.

Perthshire, towards five, accumulations of snow, even to low

West. Wintry across South Lanarkshire into the borders,

:25:58.:26:01.

probably the Lothians. Lovely afternoon further north but it will

:26:02.:26:06.

be chilly, 3-4 at times. Winds coming from the east and north-east.

:26:07.:26:13.

Showers across Orkney and Shetland. If you are hill walking, climbing or

:26:14.:26:18.

skiing, doesn't look too bad. Sunshine, dry and bright, but cold.

:26:19.:26:22.

Cloudy towards the Galloway hills, winds coming from East, North East.

:26:23.:26:30.

Cloudy start through the hills. Snow holding on through the border hills.

:26:31.:26:35.

A wintry evening on Saturday as we had overnight across the south-east.

:26:36.:26:42.

Elsewhere dry, cold, sharp frost. As we head towards Sunday you can see

:26:43.:26:45.

the isobars coming straight down from the North, more of a north-east

affecting the north and most eastern part of the country. The further

:26:59.:27:02.

south and west you are, the driest brightest weather will be found.

:27:03.:27:07.

Cold, though, 3-4. Next week most showers have gone. Still fairly

:27:08.:27:12.

cold, 3-4dC and winds coming in from the North.

:27:13.:27:17.

Five men have been detained in a police operation at a retail

:27:18.:27:22.

During it, armed officers fired shots to blow out

:27:23.:27:25.

The operation was in connection with the theft of a cash machine

:27:26.:27:29.

from a supermarket in Carnoustie in the early hours of this morning.

:27:30.:27:32.

I'll be back with the headlines at 8pm, and the late bulletin just

:27:33.:27:37.

Until then, from everyone on the team - right

:27:38.:27:40.

across the country - have a very good evening.

:27:41.:27:43.
