year running, all of the horses have returned home safely. That is all

:00:00.:00:00.

for now. I will be back for the news at

:00:00.:00:07.

Two fishermen have died and another is still missing after their boat

:00:08.:00:13.

sank near Mingulay in the Western Isles.

:00:14.:00:16.

A fourth man was rescued and taken to hospital in Stornoway.

:00:17.:00:18.

Shona MacDonald reports from South Uist.

:00:19.:00:26.

Just before 3:45am, that UK coastguard received a distress call

:00:27.:00:33.

from near Mingulay, an island south of Barra in the Western Isles. The

:00:34.:00:40.

search and rescue helicopter and the RNLI lifeboat attended. A fishing

:00:41.:00:45.

boat named locally as the Stornoway registered Louisa had sunk. One

:00:46.:00:50.

person was rescued and taken to hospital in Stornoway by the close

:00:51.:00:51.

guard helicopter. Two bodies were hospital in Stornoway by the close

:00:52.:01:00.

also recovered. As part of that operations, the Barra RNLI lifeboat

:01:01.:01:02.

was here today. It returns to operations, the Barra RNLI lifeboat

:01:03.:01:08.

Castlebay where it refuelled and went back to the search area. I

:01:09.:01:13.

understand that there were also a number of locally based fishing

:01:14.:01:14.

boats in the area. The Edinburgh schools partnership

:01:15.:01:14.

who manage the seventeen schools closed by Edinburgh city council due

:01:15.:01:17.

to safety concerns claim tonight the standard of construction carried

:01:18.:01:20.

out by the building contractor It's emerged that header ties

:01:21.:01:23.

were missing in some sections Back in January, the damage caused

:01:24.:01:41.

by Storm Gertrude to this Primary School in Edinburgh prompted a

:01:42.:01:45.

safety review. Cavity wall issues were found, here and in three other

:01:46.:01:49.

schools, and were under repair. Yesterday, with the wall appeared,

:01:50.:01:53.

another different construction problem was found. The council has

:01:54.:01:57.

decided to close all of the 17 schools built under the same

:01:58.:01:59.

decided to close all of the 17 public-private partnership

:02:00.:02:02.

initiative as a precaution, until they can be sure that they are safe.

:02:03.:02:10.

It is an additional issue, in identifying the construction fabrics

:02:11.:02:13.

in the buildings, and we have not been able to get an assurance that

:02:14.:02:18.

that does not apply to the other schools. I simply cannot take the

:02:19.:02:22.

risk as the council leader and a parent, to open these schools

:02:23.:02:26.

without that guarantee. The Edinburgh schools partnership which

:02:27.:02:30.

manages the schools says that they were working with those responsible

:02:31.:02:34.

for the design and build today to determine the scale of the problem.

:02:35.:02:35.

The construction company involved in determine the scale of the problem.

:02:36.:02:40.

all 17 school constructions is now owned by Gallup first try, who have

:02:41.:02:45.

pledged to remedy any issue but it is a worrying time for parents

:02:46.:02:49.

concerned about such disruption happening close to exam time. We are

:02:50.:02:56.

surprised about the timing, right at the end of these building

:02:57.:02:59.

inspections, and it would really help if the council could tell

:03:00.:03:03.

parents what it was they discovered that has prompted this response. Of

:03:04.:03:07.

course on a safety ground, we support them, provided they can put

:03:08.:03:09.

the arrangements in place for children that need them. After the

:03:10.:03:14.

structural problems found yesterday, all 17 schools are being surveyed

:03:15.:03:17.

this weekend but tonight the situation remains that all of these

:03:18.:03:21.

schools will be shut on Monday and the council had no idea when they

:03:22.:03:22.

will reopen. Politicians' transparency on tax

:03:23.:03:26.

dominated the debate on the Holyrood election trail,

:03:27.:03:34.

as Labour's UK leader Jeremy Corbyn Here's our political

:03:35.:03:37.

correspondent, Andrew Kerr. An old-fashioned Town Hall meeting

:03:38.:03:46.

for the UK Labour leader but calls for a new level of openness on

:03:47.:03:51.

politicians' tax affairs. The Scottish leader published her tax

:03:52.:03:54.

return today and called for other leaders to do the same. It comes as

:03:55.:03:58.

the Prime Minister promised to publish his past tax returns after

:03:59.:04:02.

being criticised for investing in an offshore fund. Above all, it is not

:04:03.:04:08.

about an individual or a one person, or one family. It is about a whole

:04:09.:04:12.

ethos, where the very rich are able to put their money into tax havens,

:04:13.:04:16.

offshore accounts, and were the result zero rate of tax. The SNP

:04:17.:04:22.

leader was not taking a cue from Labour but she has been critical of

:04:23.:04:26.

David Cameron. She says that Labour is all at sea on the issue of

:04:27.:04:32.

Trident. At a time where public services and finances are under so

:04:33.:04:35.

much pressure, it is in my view completely wrong to even contemplate

:04:36.:04:43.

spending 106 ?7 million on weapons of mass destruction. Back to the

:04:44.:04:46.

Prime Minister's tax issue. The Liberal Democrat leader calls for

:04:47.:04:50.

openness and he sealed a few envelopes. It is disappointing that

:04:51.:04:55.

it him so one to explain his tax affairs. We still do not have

:04:56.:05:00.

absolute transparency. Amid calls for more transparency on tax, the

:05:01.:05:03.

Conservative leader stepped in to defend the Prime Minister. Ruth

:05:04.:05:07.

Davidson was speaking to party members in Edinburgh. She took the

:05:08.:05:11.

chance to chide Labour, who she hopes to replace in the opposition

:05:12.:05:14.

spot. The Prime Minister has answered every question put to him.

:05:15.:05:18.

He had shares before he was premised and he has paid all of his taxes on

:05:19.:05:23.

those shares. Paid all of attacks again when he saw those shares. The

:05:24.:05:30.

Prime Minister has dominated this discussion. This has been another

:05:31.:05:31.

take on it. Football - and Celtic

:05:32.:05:31.

went eight points clear at the top of the Premiership

:05:32.:05:33.

with a win against Motherwell. Elsewhere Ross County

:05:34.:05:36.

secured their place in the top six Wins also for Caley Thistle,

:05:37.:05:38.

Kilmarnock and Hamilton. It's over to Anne Lundon now

:05:39.:05:42.

with the weather outlook Good evening. A variety of weather

:05:43.:05:48.

on offer today. Here is the earlier picture. A band of cloud and rain

:05:49.:05:52.

affecting many parts of the North during the course of the day.

:05:53.:05:54.

Elsewhere, a lot of fine and dry during the course of the day.

:05:55.:05:58.

weather to be had with some showers. Feeling chilly if you do get caught

:05:59.:06:03.

in one of those showers. And here is the picture for this evening. We

:06:04.:06:07.

hang onto this band of rain for the far north, and it will eventually

:06:08.:06:11.

spill southwards during the course of the night. Quite a dull and damp

:06:12.:06:13.

spill southwards during the course picture by dawn. Some dry conditions

:06:14.:06:18.

for Western, coastal parts and parts of the South West, icy badges could

:06:19.:06:24.

be a risk overnight. As we head into tomorrow, here is the pressure chart

:06:25.:06:27.

with the weather systems affecting the far north. This system, for part

:06:28.:06:31.

of the South West, will bring very the far north. This system, for part

:06:32.:06:36.

wet and windy conditions. We have a yellow Met Office be aware morning

:06:37.:06:41.

in force to cater for this wind and for coastal parts, flooding could be

:06:42.:06:44.

arrested. In between these weather systems, plenty of fine, dry

:06:45.:06:49.

weather, good spells of sunshine, and an improving pictured here in

:06:50.:06:52.

Scotland during the course of the day. Dark conditions moving

:06:53.:06:58.

northwards. By 4pm, we're looking at a decent afternoon. That rain in the

:06:59.:06:59.

North will linger for a time.
