Our health editor Hugh Pym will be taking questions live this evening | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
at 8 o'clock. Now we join the news teams where you are. Bye. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Tonight on Reporting Scotland: The head injuries suffered in rugby. | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
Former players tell us they believe it may be the cause of long term | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
Do you think there are men my age and older who have got concussion | :00:15. | :00:29. | |
symptoms now? Bubbly. Not probably, definitely. | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
Also on the programme: The dangers caused to pilots by laser pens. | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
A senior helicopter pilot in the Highlands says | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
Calls for reform of the rules which allow non-European students | :00:40. | :00:47. | |
The new manager of struggling Kilmarnock says his long term aim | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
is to challenge for the top of the Premiership and Europe. | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
And five years after Scotland won the Homeless World Cup, | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
Several former rugby players have told BBC Scotland they're concerned | :01:04. | :01:25. | |
that illnesses they have now might be linked to head injuries | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
There's growing evidence that repeated head knocks in contact | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
sports can cause a form of dementia known as CTE. | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
The SRU's former doctor has also told the BBC he believes | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
there will be players suffering long-term effects. | :01:42. | :01:42. | |
David Shedden was a fearless winger in the Scotland team | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
Challenged by David Shedden, will he get the try? | :01:50. | :01:59. | |
He has come to West Rugby Club to take part in a session organised | :02:00. | :02:12. | |
by charity Rugby Memories which uses photographs of old games to help | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
My dad played forcefully with his head. | :02:15. | :02:31. | |
He would run and use his head to get in and get the ball. | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
It was the way he developed his skill that was his detriment. | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
Concussion has contributed to his illness. | :02:41. | :02:41. | |
To what degree would he have never presented with dementia, | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
But I still think Dad loved the game. | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
It is not just David's family who are worried. | :02:47. | :02:57. | |
I made a programme about linking repetitive head butts | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
Since that programme was aired, other former players have said | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
The problem is there is no way to test for CTE, | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
The management of concussion is far better today than in the past | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
but what about the players from previous decades? | :03:15. | :03:23. | |
Donald MacLeod was the SRU team doctor for 30 years | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
and the president of the organisation in 2013. | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
Do you think there are men my age and older who have got | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
But others are not identified but they may well be | :03:36. | :03:58. | |
features as they age which can be attributed to repeated head knocks | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
The SRU said it had systems in place to identify and support any players | :04:02. | :04:14. | |
who thought they had health problems associated | :04:15. | :04:15. | |
So far, none have come to the union for help. | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
You can see a full version of John Beattie's exclusive film | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
The chief pilot of the Highlands' main search and rescue helicopter | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
has backed calls for tougher controls on laser pen ownership, | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
after he was targeted during an emergency mission. | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
Captain John McIntyre says the incident, during a recent search | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
over the River Ness, could have had catastrophic consequences. | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
His comments come as an airliner bound for New York turned | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
back to London last night, after a similar incident. | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
A search and rescue helicopter pilot's job can be challenging | :04:48. | :05:03. | |
This month, during a low-level search for a missing man | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
in the River Ness, a straightforward call-out came close to disaster | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
when the pilots and crew were targeted by a laser pen. | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
We had very bright green light bouncing around the cockpit. | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
A huge distraction for us as aircrew. | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
We are there looking for somebody in the water and we can't | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
That is one of the outcomes, the worst is it can damage our eyes. | :05:28. | :05:39. | |
And mean we're not able to fly the aircraft and in a congested | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
area for us to come down in the aircraft would | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
We are going to return to Heathrow after a laser incident. | :05:45. | :06:02. | |
Last night, a Virgin Atlantic aircraft turned back to London | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
after a laser was shone into the cockpit after it had taken | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
Last month, a passenger plane flying into Inverness | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
A big concern, it can endanger lives, damage eyesight. | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
Anyone can own a laser pen, I bought this for ?10. | :06:17. | :06:40. | |
There are calls to classify lasers as offensive weapons. | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
The problem with these attacks is legislation does not cover it. | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
It is not an offence to simply carry the laser. | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
You have to be found using it to be prosecuted. | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
In the meantime, those intent on misusing them are being | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
urged to think carefully about the potentially | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
devastating consequences of their dangerous games. | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
Still to come on tonight's programme: | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
Five years after Scotland won the homeless World Cup, Glasgow is to | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
host the tournament. In sport it's all to play | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
for in the Highlands. Aberdeen looking to go joint top | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
of the Premiership table, but hosts Inverness Caley Thistle | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
have the top six in their sights. And we meet the new man | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
in charge at Rugby Park. Lee Clark shares his | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
vision for Kilmarnock. A committee of MPs has called | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
for reform of the rules on which non-European | :07:32. | :07:40. | |
students can stay in the UK The Scottish Affairs Committee | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
at Westminster says graduates are not being given enough time | :07:43. | :07:53. | |
to find a job and warns salary thresholds may be too | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
high for Scotland. Our political | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
correspondent has more. Thousands of international students | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
come to Scotland every year to study but are changes in rules about what | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
happens when they graduate arming Scotland's education sector? The | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
Scottish Government, opposition parties and the Scottish Affairs | :08:14. | :08:22. | |
Committee believes so. Visa switches to allow graduates to stay in the UK | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
for two years were scrapped in 2012. They have four months to find a job | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
paying just under ?21,000. They have to be sponsored and the committee | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
says it has led to an mag 8% fall in the number of graduates staying in | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
the UK. MPs argue that it would help fill skill shortages and tackle the | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
ageing population. We have listened to hide education institutions, | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
businesses and trade unions who are telling us we need this scheme to | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
retain the best from around the world. We have four universities in | :09:00. | :09:08. | |
the top 100 within Scotland. It is a great place to be educated and we | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
are educating these students to a high standard and turning them out | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
of the country. That is the fear of those American student who has been | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
studying and living in Glasgow for seven years. You see a lot of | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
opportunities for arts graduates that pay up to ?17,000. I have never | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
seen anything that is ?21,000. If people are showing they are happy to | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
be a contributing member to the economy there is no reason they | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
should be asked to make such an unrealistic amount of money. | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
Universities have also expressed concerns. They are calling on the UK | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
Government to consider reforms. There are measures that can be put | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
in place to make sure we not only attract and develop the talent but | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
retain it, that tickle steps. We are looking for constructive dialogue | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
with the UK Government. -- practical. The government has | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
pledged to reduce the number of people settling in the UK. That is | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
something that will play on ministers' minds when they consider | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
the response to this report. Nick's report there dealt | :10:17. | :10:24. | |
with students who come here and may stay, and that of course | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
would have an impact on Scotland's overall population, | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
which is expected to grow more Now that issue has emerged | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
as a major sticking point in the current negotiations | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
between the UK and Scottish governments over Holyrood's future | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
finances. Our political correspondent | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
Glenn Campbell has been The negotiations are | :10:40. | :10:40. | |
crucial and complicated. They have basically got a week to | :10:41. | :10:55. | |
agree a deal on the fiscal framework which is a set of financial | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
arrangements needed to underpin the new tax and welfare powers that | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
Holyrood is to get. Those of powers recommended by the Smiths commission | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
and contained in the Scotland bill which is currently working through | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
Westminster. Holyrood will also get the chance to sign of that package | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
of new powers. MSPs want to do that before breaking for the Holyrood | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
election next month and to make that possible they need this fiscal | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
framework they say by next Tuesday. The two governments keep talking and | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
we may expect ministers to old 10th round of talks later in the week. | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
Where does the size of our population coming? The big dispute | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
is about money. How much to cut from Holyrood's budget to reflect its | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
growing ability to raise money of its own. And whether or not the | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
method that is used to work out that cut will insulate the Scottish | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
Government from the effects of slower population growth. At the | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
moment the money that Holyrood spends on devolved services like | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
health and education comes from an allowance from the UK Treasury that | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
is often referred to as the block grant. Sometimes it is referred to | :12:13. | :12:21. | |
as Barnett, or our Barnett share. Where better to explore Barnett than | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
the local barbershop? How would you like your Barnett? It has nothing to | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
do with rhyming slang. Barnett is the funding formula used to work out | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
how much money the devolved government gets each year. It | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
calculates Holyrood's share of UK spending. There was a time when my | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
guard it covered almost everything, but that is no longer the case. The | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
same is true of Scotland's Barnett allocation. You could say it is | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
receding. Barnett is cut every time devolved tax powers grow because the | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
more revenue we raise in Scotland the less we need for the UK port. | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
Last year when Holyrood started levying land and buildings | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
transaction tax our Barnett share was cut by the amount likely to be | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
raised. This year as the new Scottish rate of income tax comes in | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
a similar just mint is being made and next year when Holyrood takes | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
control of all income tax rates and bands even bigger cuts are required. | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
This is where it gets really tricky. Agreeing a method to work out how | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
much money to cut that is fair to both Scotland and the rest of the UK | :13:42. | :13:50. | |
is easier said than done. Right? That is right. Nicola Sturgeon is | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
determined to protect Scotland's budget of the population does not | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
grow as quickly as in England. The Treasury says greater devolution | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
means Scotland should bear a greater responsibility for risks like that. | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
There are potentially hundreds of millions of pounds a year at stake. | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
In the fiscal framework talks, deciding how to cut is called | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
indexation and that is the most contentious issue. There are other | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
wrangles over borrowing. How much should Holyrood be allowed? And | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
welfare, who pays what to set up the devolved system? The Scottish and UK | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
governments have bristled at the terms offered by the other. | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
Restyling the financial relationship between the two will take much more | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
work. A look at other stories | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
from across the country. A murder investigation is continuing | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
after a woman was found Police were called to a property in | :14:52. | :14:53. | |
Union Terrace on Friday afternoon. Officers have conducted | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
door to door inquiries They're appealing to anyone who may | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
have any information It's believed the woman may have | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
worked as a prostitute. Five men have been charged | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
in connection with the theft of a cash machine from | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
a shop in Carnoustie. The ATM was taken from a Co-op | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
store in Barry Street. The men are aged between 26 and 43 | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
and from the Liverpool A Centre of Excellence | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
for Manufacturing has been announced It's backed by ?70 million | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
in government funding, including ?30 million from | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
the European Regional Development The plan will also promote science, | :15:36. | :15:36. | |
technology, engineering and maths in schools and improve engagement | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
between industry and education. Rail services on the West Coast Main | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
Line are to return to normal next Monday, following the repair | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
of a flood damaged bridge in South The Lamington Viaduct | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
came close to collapse An investigation is also | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
being carried out into why a train was allowed to cross the viaduct | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
at high speed after it Virgin Trains has announced | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
an increase in weekday trains between Edinburgh and London | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
on the East Coast Main Line. There will be eight new journeys | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
a day from May the 16th. Two additional services | :16:19. | :16:20. | |
will be added on Sundays. Police Scotland is to partner big | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
employers in a push to recruit more Today BT became the first company | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
in Scotland to sign up to a special Special Constable Drummond likes to | :16:30. | :16:51. | |
be out on the beat. Two years ago he became a Special Constable. His day | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
job is as an engineering manager with BT. After his house was broken | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
into, he signed up. There is no way on earth I can describe the feeling | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
of having a blue light when you are going to aid a member of the public, | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
whether it be a domestic, an old age pensioner that's fell, it's so | :17:11. | :17:11. | |
rewarding. The police are now keen to recruit | :17:12. | :17:20. | |
specials from big employers, saying it can be mutually beneficial. They | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
bring insight, experience, different perspectives from those of us who've | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
been involved in policing in a long time. . They become connected to the | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
community, they contribute, go back to their former jobs. Special | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
Constables don't get paid but have the same powers as regular police | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
officers, they can make arrests, impose fines and respond to | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
emergencies. In some parts of the country, specials are the public | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
face of the police BT has 7000 employees face | :17:52. | :17:52. | |
of the police in Scotland to sign up to encourage its staff | :17:53. | :17:54. | |
to become special constables. . We recognise that anybody who is | :17:55. | :18:04. | |
going to undertake the role will learn an awful lot more. They come | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
back into the office with the skills they have learnt that will be useful | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
back at work. Back on the high street, Special Constable Drummond | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
is back on hand to help. There are some things he can't help with | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
though. You like 'em younger... ! Steady on, now the sports news with | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
Rhona. We're heading straight for Inverness | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
as Caley Thistle prepare to take on Aberdeen in the | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
Scottish Premiership. A win for the Dons would take them | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
level with leaders Celtic. But the hosts will be fighting tooth | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
and nail; victory for Inverness Here to look ahead is tonights match | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
commentator Liam McLeod. It's a huge match here. In | :18:46. | :18:59. | |
particular you feel for Aberdeen who have designs on the league title. | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
Some interesting comments from the Caley Thistle boss John Hughes in | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
tonight's programme, saying I think Celtic will pip Aberdeen to the | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
Championship. The Aberdeen legend Willie Miller is with me for this | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
game. Do you go along with the Pittodrie line in perhaps not | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
talking up a title challenge as yet? Yes, I would agree with that, it's | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
the correct tactics, I feel that you shouldn't be shouting off the park, | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
you should do your talking on the park and it's important that | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
Aberdeen do that tonight and come away from the Highlands with three | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
points. It's a difficult one for them. It's the only team many the | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
league that they have yet to get the better of Inverness? Yes, Inverness | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
are a very good side. John Hughes did a terrific job here and | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
McGuinness will know he's in for a tough tie tonight. If they can take | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
the three points, they'll go into the next away game against thistle | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
in good form and hopefully take that title challenge going. Aberdeen | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
against Inverness Caley Thistle here where the latest chapter in the | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
title race will be written. The new Kilmarnock manager Lee Clark | :20:09. | :20:17. | |
says his long term aim is to challenge for the top of | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
the Premiership and European places. The former Blackpool | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
and Huddersfield boss takes over from Gary Locke who | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
resigned last month. Clark has signed a three and a half | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
year deal and will be assisted Here's our Senior Football | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
Reporter Chris McLaughlin. Morning sunshine in Kilmarnock. A | :20:34. | :20:47. | |
new day and a new manager. A new manager who brings with him | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
new hope and new ambitions. The infrastructure's there, the | :20:54. | :20:55. | |
possibilities are there to certainly have the club challenging at the top | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
half, you know, when the season's split, you want to be in the top six | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
and have the possibilities of competing to get the European | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
places. After a playing career at clubs like | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
Newcastle, Sunderland and Fulham, Clark's first management role came | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
at Huddersfield in 2008. Despite a record league run, he was sacked in | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
2012 and took over at Birmingham. But, it didn't go well with the | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
Championship club and he was sacked in 2014, leaving them just above the | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
relegation zone. Blackpool came next later that year, but Clark led them | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
to relegation and resigned last May. He's been out of work ever since. | :21:36. | :21:44. | |
Lee stood out because of his record down south, particularly in | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
Huddersfield, not many managers go 43 games unbeaten and if we can | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
achieve anything close to that we'll be delighted. Delighted too would | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
follow a Scottish Cup replay win over Rangers tomorrow, although | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
Clark himself won't be in the dug out. It's an appointment that will | :22:00. | :22:07. | |
create headlines. It's the results Kilmarnock are looking for. Now it's | :22:08. | :22:17. | |
Clark and first up, a game against Rangers in the cup. Pf pf | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
The Pf pf stand-off Rhuaridh Jackson admits the Scotland rugby team | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
are sick of coming so close to a long overdue | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
The 27-23 defeat by Wales was Scotland's ninth straight loss | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
in the Championship, but Jackson says the team will stick | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
together and change their fortunes away to Italy a week on Saturday. | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
There is a lot to play for. A few big games coming up. We have to look | :22:42. | :22:50. | |
for the wins. We don't want to be in this situation, we are tired of | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
repeating ourself bus we do want to push on, we are sick of this and | :22:55. | :22:56. | |
want to get the wins. That is it. The Homeless World Cup will be | :22:57. | :23:15. | |
played in Glasgow for the first The football tournament for men | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
and women who have no fixed address This was the goal that led to | :23:19. | :23:31. | |
Scotland winning the homeless World Cup. It was success the national | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
side can only dream of. The tournament is coming to Glasgow in | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
July. The Scotland captain said for anyone involved in football, | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
homeless or not, you need to have hope. | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
Always keep believing. The lads that I've spoken to so far today, they | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
are in great spirits and really looking forward to the World Cup | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
coming here and it's going to be a great occasion for Scotland, a great | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
occasion for them as well and they're building little mini stands | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
and it will be great for everyone to come along and watch them play. | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
There were men and women's teams at last year's tournament. The homeless | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
World Cup says it's a celebration of optimism. This man once homeless | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
himself now runs Street Soccer? Being homeless your world is ripped | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
apart, low self-esteem, no hope, but I was very lucky that I came across | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
a football tournament which led to me being selected to represent | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
Scotland at the Homeless World Cup and it's a life-changing | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
opportunity. Hannah Miley wins... From the Commonwealth Games to the | :24:37. | :24:43. | |
Champions League final, and the World Gymnastics Championships, | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
Glasgow has hosted them all. This ex-player says it created life-long | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
friendships for him. I played for a team under Sir Alex Ferguson, we | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
have a bond between us that's still important, a brotherhood, you know, | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
and these are the things that being part of a team can bring you. These | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
guys will experience that in George Square. Football is a geebl global | :25:05. | :25:11. | |
game. Anyone who is or becoming homeless in any country, they have | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
access to a street football team and they have the ability to change | :25:15. | :25:16. | |
their lives. Now here's David henderson | :25:17. | :25:26. | |
with details of Scotland 2016. Does Scotland's Health Service | :25:27. | :25:36. | |
provide those who need mental health help with enough care, or do some | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
patients have to wait the too long for treatment? | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
His lovely yellow tie is trying to bring some sunshine into our lives, | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
but we have seen the last of it, haven't we? | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
Don't be so negative! You are the weather forecaster, you are the | :26:01. | :26:02. | |
negative one. A lovely day across the sunshine, | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
plenty of sunshine hence the yellow tie. A lovely picture there from our | :26:07. | :26:16. | |
weather-watcher, but it's dry, you can see the rain and cloud gathering | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
out west and the wind strengthening as well. Temperatures subzero for | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
most. In the rural parts of Aberdeenshire, minus ten is | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
possible. It's a cold start to the day tomorrow, cloudy wet and windy | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
in the west. Gusting to severe gale force. Further east, reasonably dry | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
but the cloud and rain coming your way and, because of that, we have a | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
yellow Met Office be aware weather warning. Through the course of | :26:46. | :26:48. | |
Tuesday, the wet weather moves into around the spine of the country, so | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
by mid afternoon, an east west split in. The west, windy, wet milder, | :26:52. | :27:00. | |
further east still dry with the odd bright spell. That rain falls as | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
snow across the hills and mountains. The Cairngorms get some shelter in | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
Aberdeenshire. Tuesday afternoon to Tuesday evening, the wet weather | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
continues to work its way east. It will be really wets because it's | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
very slow-moving so there is a lot of water on the roads and it will | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
mean difficult driving conditions. By Wednesday, the weather front is | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
on its way out pushing its way eastwards. Behind it, a return to | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
colder weather. You can see the air mass, much colder air coming | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
through. Wednesday itself an improving day. Cloudy wet weather, | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
wintry showers following. Temperatures back down to three or | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
four and still a notable breeze from the south-west. On Thursday, | :27:47. | :27:52. | |
reasonably dry but look at this weather system arriving, bringing a | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
return to more wet and windy weather. | :27:57. | :28:04. | |
I'll be back with the headlines at 8 and the late bulletin just | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
Until then from the team here, have a very good evening. | :28:09. | :28:11. |
