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. | :07:00. | :07:02. |
