Forensic experts have narrowed the search area for the remains

of schoolgirl Moira Anderson, who disappeared in Lanarkshire

11-year-old Moira Anderson went missing on the 23rd of February

1957. She was never seen again after getting on a bus while going on an

errand for her grandmother. Her body has never been found. A local bus

driver, he said he had been the last person to see her. He was a

convicted paedophile and died in 2006. Two years ago, the Lord

Advocate said he would have been prosecuted for Moira's murder if he

was still alive. And now progress, as lands near Coatbridge has been

pinpointed where the search should be concentrated. You'll occur there

will be searches of a number of areas where we think, on the

evidence, that Moira's remains may be located. There is no guarantee we

will find them, but I think we have a duty to Moira's family to search.

Her sisters are still alive, her wider family is still alive. It is

believed to Moira's body could be at a site where a farm worker claimed

he saw a stationary bus where he claimed she disappeared. Soil

analysis is now a key tool in forensics science cases. Organic

matter on the feet of one of the victims found in a field of the

world's end killings from the point of the evidence that sledger to the

convictions of the murders. The professor who made that breakthrough

is now working on Moira's case. In Scotland, we are very fortunate with

the research of the capabilities we have, both in police Scotland and

the integrity in getting the incredible evidence, coupling that

with the physical information we can find on the ground. It is exactly 59

years ago this week since Moira went missing in this area north of

Coatbridge. But of course that is a very long time ago and the landscape

has changed, but experts have narrowed down the area they want to

search. Preparatory work is due to begin in the coming weeks and

digging is expected to begin in the autumn. There is the hope that

Moira's case can finally be solved. RBS is in the red for

the eighth year in a row. But chief executive Ross McEwan says

the bank is stronger than ever. It was a grand design. Its global HQ

in Edinburgh. At its height, RBS employs six team thousand people in

Scotland. But since its new collapse, questions continue to be

asked. How all these Jewish and get back to profit? Today, RBS announced

losses of ?1.98 billion, prompting share prices to fall to a three year

low. This bank is one of the cornerstones of Scotland's financial

history, yet since the bailouts, it has failed to turn itself around.

That is eight years now without making a profit, despite

repositioning itself globally and downsizing. So what is going on? The

bank is still having to set aside billions of pounds to pay for

previous mistakes. It set aside ?3.6 billion last year to pay for things

like PPI mis-selling and for toxic American bonds. And ?2.9 billion for

restructuring. If you take that money out of the occasion, the bank

would have made a profit last year at the RBS boss argues they are

doing the right things. We are well on our lending, in a commercial

bank, and also our biggest year of growth with mortgages, 200,000

homeowners choose to be with us. We are seeing some very strong focus,

we refocus back on the customers as opposed to just looking at the bank

itself. Nevertheless, the Chancellor has had to delay plans to sell off

the bank's shares. There were far less now than the government paid

for them. How quickly can the bank less now than the government paid

get back on track? The zero interest environment in which we are living

is a difficult one as regards to banking profitability. The corporate

investing banking profits, of which RBS have a reasonably sized isthmus,

that is difficult market. We are expecting RBS to make a loss for the

year we are currently in, but the consensus in the market amongst

investors is that they will return to profitability thereafter.

investors is that they will return skeletons that would keep coming for

RBS, and many will be wondering how long it will be until this

outstanding -- these outstanding problems are laid to rest.

The Scottish Liberal Democrats will fight the Holyrood election,

promising to put a penny on income tax for education.

In his speech to the Lib Dem conference, the party leader,

Willie Rennie, set out how the extra revenue raised might be spent.

Here's our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell.

Willie Rennie was allowed to stay and play in this Edinburgh nursery.

But he knows Liberal Democrats have been expelled from Parliament by the

voters in successive elections. He is trying to rebuild the party's

fortunes with a promise to put an extra penny on all rates of income

tax, to spend more on preschool education, to reverse college cuts,

and to introduce what he calls a pupil premium for schoolchildren. It

directs money to children who need a bit of extra help. In secondary

school or primary school. With that, they can close the attainment gap,

they can lift the prospects of every young child who needs that extra bit

of help to get up and get on. While the Liberal Democrats have decided

to use Holyrood's income tax powers to raise more revenue for education,

here at the conference, they are also reflecting on their

long-standing policy of introducing a local income tax. Delegates

indicated their support to drop a local income tax in favour of either

a land or property -based attacks. But not everyone is enthusiastic

about that. Willie Rennie says he wants to explore local tax

alternatives as the party prepares its broader Holyrood election pitch.

If you want to get Scotland fit for the future, if you want Scotland to

be the best game, then back Liberal Democrats. After a controversial

period in Coalition Government at Westminster, the Liberal Democrats

have lost support. Willie Rennie hopes voters will be ready to return

to the party in the Holyrood election on May the 5th.

Let's get the weather outlook for tonight and tomorrow

It is looking good, for a change. Good evening. High-pressure bully in

charge this weekend. A fairly settled weekend on the cards.

Tonight, looking mainly dry. There will be some clear spells leading to

a fairly widespread frost. Already below freezing across some parts of

Highlands. That sets us up for a cold and frosty start tomorrow

morning. Dry, though, and that is how it stays as we head through the

course of the day for the vast majority, with some good spells of

brightness and sunshine. In saying that, by mid-afternoon, there will

be that bit more in the way of cloud across the south-east and a few

showers peppering eastern coastal areas. A breeze coming in off the

North Sea year, making it feel rather cold. Generally, elsewhere,

lots of dry, bright weather with decent spells of sunshine. Light

winds, and it won't feel too bad in the sunshine with highs of around

five or six Celsius. Just a few showers across the northern isles

tomorrow afternoon, too. Across the rest of the UK, we are also under

the influence of high-pressure. Generally, the further south you

are, more in the way of cloud. A few showers across the Midlands into

northern England and Wales. Some bright or sunny spells, also, but a

nagging easterly wind across the far south, making it feel really quite

cold. For the rest of the afternoon and evening across Scotland, dry and

that widespread frost as we head into tomorrow night with

temperatures tumbling away. Into Sunday, high-pressure sticking with

us, though this area of rain will begin to move in as we head into

Monday. For Sunday, dry, bright spells of sunshine and light winds

and highs are around five or six Celsius. For Monday, rain moving in,

accompanied by strengthening southerly winds.

From everyone on the late team here in Glasgow and around

the country - goodnight, and enjoy your weekend.
