:00:11. > :00:14.We can reveal that all 17 Edinburgh schools being checked for building

:00:15. > :00:17.faults need urgent repairs. Thousands of pupils will miss

:00:18. > :00:20.school again tomorrow as parents are left to sort out

:00:21. > :00:35.I don't want my child on a tablet or an iPad every are of the day. We

:00:36. > :00:37.need to finish work and do unit assessments that were meant to

:00:38. > :00:39.happen this week. Now, they will have to be done later.

:00:40. > :00:43.at a developing political row-- as the First Minister says there may

:00:44. > :00:45.be a case for an inquiry into those PFI schools.

:00:46. > :00:50.A mother and her partner are accused of murdering her two-year-old

:00:51. > :00:52.son in Glenrothes and ill-treating and

:00:53. > :01:01.An investigation is underway into the sinking

:01:02. > :01:03.of a fishing boat in the Western Isles that left two

:01:08. > :01:12.with Muscular Dystrophy is turned down for use in the NHS.

:01:13. > :01:14.And Old firm legends Graeme Souness and Kenny Dalglish

:01:15. > :01:31.believe Celtic are clear favourites for this weekend's Scottish Cup tie.

:01:32. > :01:40.A total of 17 schools in Edinburgh remain closed indefinitely this

:01:41. > :01:42.evening after similar faults have been discovered

:01:43. > :01:53.The council says that all primary and secondary schools will be back

:01:54. > :01:58.in school by next week. They were built as part of the controversial

:01:59. > :02:01.public-private partnership. We will hear how the schools have become an

:02:02. > :02:07.Alexa Mishu, but first, let's get up-to-date.

:02:08. > :02:13.At the schools where this started, work is already underway. I'll be

:02:14. > :02:18.hard at work here, many parents have been forced to stay at home as they

:02:19. > :02:21.frantically work out childcare. I work full-time and my husband is

:02:22. > :02:26.self-employed, so if he is not working, years not earning money.

:02:27. > :02:30.For Julia, the disruption is becoming unacceptable. I don't want

:02:31. > :02:36.my child on a tablet or an iPad every hour of the day, they need to

:02:37. > :02:40.be in school to be educated. Elsewhere, this would ordinarily be

:02:41. > :02:44.a busy morning for this family as the kids head back to high school

:02:45. > :02:47.after the Easter break. Amy is sitting her Highers. It is

:02:48. > :02:52.disruptive because we need to finish the course work and do assessments,

:02:53. > :02:57.but they will have to be done later when they were supposed to be done

:02:58. > :03:01.this week. They don't have enough time to revise and it is distracting

:03:02. > :03:08.them. It is probably worrying them as well. The schools affected span

:03:09. > :03:11.the capital, five of them high schools, ten primaries and two

:03:12. > :03:19.additional support needs schools. All of them were built or parts

:03:20. > :03:26.built by a consortium under the PFI deal. The buildings were deemed

:03:27. > :03:30.unsafe because of wall ties that were missing. This school should be

:03:31. > :03:34.buzzing, but instead, as you can see, it is extremely quiet. The

:03:35. > :03:37.council say they will prioritise their inspections on the five high

:03:38. > :03:50.schools affected while they try to put contingency plans in place. The

:03:51. > :03:54.company that built them, Miller Construction has been taken over.

:03:55. > :03:57.This evening, the council confirmed it had found similar faults at all

:03:58. > :04:00.the buildings it had been inspecting the top I can confirm we have been

:04:01. > :04:06.fining similar those -- finding similar problems to

:04:07. > :04:08.those be found on Friday. We are widening the remit of the surveys to

:04:09. > :04:14.make sure that the ongoing safety of the

:04:15. > :04:15.children is ensured as they go back into school. We need to take our

:04:16. > :04:19.time and do it properly. That will into school. We need to take our

:04:20. > :04:24.take a little while. In the meantime, we are getting good

:04:25. > :04:26.alternative arrangements in place. It has raised questions over the use

:04:27. > :04:27.of private finance deals to build schools. I think we

:04:28. > :04:35.have to learn particular lessons from what went wrong in the

:04:36. > :04:36.Edinburgh schools and we have to see if there are problems in other

:04:37. > :04:37.council areas. We have to have a more fundamental look

:04:38. > :04:40.at the financing of schools. For now, the

:04:41. > :04:49.schools remain close. Tomorrow will be another holiday for

:04:50. > :04:52.7000 pupils in the city as further provision is made to make sure these

:04:53. > :04:56.schools are safe. Let's go to our education

:04:57. > :04:58.correspondent, Jamie McIvor, who is in Edinburgh. This is a

:04:59. > :05:00.developing story and we have had a lot of

:05:01. > :05:09.information from the council, can you tell us

:05:10. > :05:13.who is going back and when? Indeed, Jackie. Some more information from

:05:14. > :05:16.the council in the last few minutes. Some secondary schools will be open

:05:17. > :05:20.to senior students, fourth, fifth Some secondary schools will be open

:05:21. > :05:24.and sixth year students from Wednesday. Meanwhile, primary

:05:25. > :05:26.schools and schools for children with additional needs will be open

:05:27. > :05:27.by next Monday. Structural faults had been found in

:05:28. > :05:36.all 17 of the schools that had been closed. While some secondary

:05:37. > :05:37.schools will be reopening this Wednesday to senior students, they

:05:38. > :05:43.won't all be reopening. Some concerns will remain for those

:05:44. > :05:45.students due to sit exams in a few weeks will

:05:46. > :05:51.stop the question is whether this disruption will cause them any

:05:52. > :05:51.serious lasting problems with exams. We

:05:52. > :05:56.know that other local authorities are making

:05:57. > :06:03.checks - is there any way of throwing light on this, inasmuch as,

:06:04. > :06:10.is this just concerns about schools that were built using PFI? Is it

:06:11. > :06:12.just schools built using PFI by this particular construction

:06:13. > :06:18.company? And is it just schools in Edinburgh?

:06:19. > :06:24.These are big questions, Jackie, and the answer is we cannot give

:06:25. > :06:28.definitive answers. To explain some of the background, while, of course,

:06:29. > :06:30.councils run the schools themselves, they don't

:06:31. > :06:37.always own and operate the buildings. These 17 schools in

:06:38. > :06:41.Edinburgh were all built by a specially created partnership around

:06:42. > :06:48.ten years ago. Miller Construction was part of that partnership, so

:06:49. > :06:57.there is particular interest in other schools that Miller built in

:06:58. > :07:00.Glasgow, Fife and Inverclyde. The schools in Fife were all open today.

:07:01. > :07:05.Glasgow and Inverclyde say that schools will return after the

:07:06. > :07:10.holidays, as planned, next week. As for the rest of the country, other

:07:11. > :07:15.councils have carried out checks, and nothing untoward has been found

:07:16. > :07:20.so far. There were always questions about the wisdom of using privately

:07:21. > :07:24.financed schemes for schools and other public sector buildings, and

:07:25. > :07:25.others also question the basic wisdom of running school buildings

:07:26. > :07:30.in this way to begin with. The wisdom of running school buildings

:07:31. > :07:34.question here is whether these fundamental concerns that some

:07:35. > :07:42.always expressed are now being vindicated, or whether this is just

:07:43. > :07:46.about the way that some schools in Edinburgh were built.

:07:47. > :07:51.There is a developing political row over the use of PFIs since they were

:07:52. > :07:52.introduced. Nicola Sturgeon says there may be a

:07:53. > :07:57.case for an enquiry into the construction of Edinburgh schools

:07:58. > :07:58.once the immediate problems are fixed. Glen Campbell can tell us

:07:59. > :08:01.more. When you have a big household

:08:02. > :08:05.expense like buying a new TV, you can usually spread the

:08:06. > :08:08.cost. Many shops invite you to buy now and

:08:09. > :08:18.pay later. Typically, in instalments and with

:08:19. > :08:20.interest. The Private financing of schools and hospitals works in a

:08:21. > :08:24.interest. The Private financing of similar way, with loan terms of 25

:08:25. > :08:30.years and longer. The Edinburgh school building

:08:31. > :08:34.programme was signed off under the last Labour Liberal Democrat

:08:35. > :08:36.administration at Holyrood. In Irving, the First Minister says our

:08:37. > :08:37.predecessors may need to account for their decisions in an

:08:38. > :08:41.enquiry. These are schools that were built more than ten years ago under

:08:42. > :08:49.a system of PFI that at the time many people,

:08:50. > :08:55.including the SNP, had real concerns about. If it turns out that we are

:08:56. > :08:57.now seeing a legacy of these PFI projects, there will be big

:08:58. > :09:03.questions for those in charge at the time to answer. Do the contracts

:09:04. > :09:06.that procure the Edinburgh schools measure up? The Lib Dems,

:09:07. > :09:12.campaigning in the capital, say that is just one of the questions needing

:09:13. > :09:16.answered. There will be time to look at all the questions, not just about

:09:17. > :09:20.the initial contract but also about the subsequent arrangements, the

:09:21. > :09:25.inspection and maintenance regime, the education budget, the cuts to

:09:26. > :09:31.budgets by the SNP - all of those things will be looked at over time.

:09:32. > :09:36.With students in Glasgow this afternoon, the Labour leader says

:09:37. > :09:41.our party was right to prioritise investment in infrastructure. The

:09:42. > :09:45.Labour Party had to rebuild hundreds of schools across Scotland because

:09:46. > :09:49.they were left in wreck and ruin by the Tories, so I won't apologise for

:09:50. > :09:53.rebuilding hundreds of schools across Scotland. There are

:09:54. > :09:56.questions, of course, around the quality of building that has taken

:09:57. > :10:01.place, and yes, we should examine those.

:10:02. > :10:05.The Conservative leader in Dundee said opportunities may have been

:10:06. > :10:07.missed to spot problems with the Edinburgh schools. You need to

:10:08. > :10:12.inspection is at the times when they are signed off, but you also need to

:10:13. > :10:21.keep inspecting the buildings to make sure they stay in phase fit for

:10:22. > :10:23.purpose. We have been asking the SNP about this and we are sorry

:10:24. > :10:25.they did not take is up on our proposal.

:10:26. > :10:37.PFI has not gone away. The current SNP government has the

:10:38. > :10:40.fight its own model. Private financing has always been

:10:41. > :10:49.controversial, but the problems with these Edinburgh schools mean that

:10:50. > :10:54.these contracts of the past will come under fresh scrutiny.

:10:55. > :10:59.We just had some details in from the council. As I said, this is a

:11:00. > :11:04.developing story. The update tells us that the council found problems

:11:05. > :11:08.at all of the schools inspected rather than all of the 17. That was

:11:09. > :11:12.the wrong information that we received from the council, and we

:11:13. > :11:15.are trying to get the situation clarified. If and when we do, we

:11:16. > :11:18.will certainly bring it to you. Now, to a story, the details

:11:19. > :11:20.of which some viewers and younger children in particular,

:11:21. > :11:24.may find distressing. A mother and her civil

:11:25. > :11:26.partner have gone on trial Rachel Fee and Nyomi Fee are also

:11:27. > :11:30.charged with harming two other young boys,

:11:31. > :11:32.and with falsely blaming Joanne Macauley reports

:11:33. > :11:46.from the High Court in Livingston. Leon Fee died from severe injuries

:11:47. > :11:53.to his head and body. It's alleged they were inflicted by mother,

:11:54. > :12:01.Rachel Fee, and our partner, Nyomi Fee. It is also alleged that when

:12:02. > :12:05.they found his body, they tried to defeat the end of justice by blaming

:12:06. > :12:10.another child for the death. They are accused of forcing that by's

:12:11. > :12:14.hand into the mouth of the dead toddler before the emergency

:12:15. > :12:19.services arrived. The first witness today was the father of Leon, Joseph

:12:20. > :12:23.Johnson. He said he had been in a relationship with Rachel Fee for

:12:24. > :12:28.several years when she left him for Nyomi Fee and to agree with her. He

:12:29. > :12:32.recalled the day that Nyomi phones him to say that Liam was dead and

:12:33. > :12:37.that another boy had killed him. The women are also charged with harming

:12:38. > :12:42.two other boys. It is alleged they kept one child in a makeshift cage

:12:43. > :12:48.for prolonged periods, naked or in his underwear, sometimes forcing him

:12:49. > :12:50.to sleep there. It is also alleged they tied another child to a chair

:12:51. > :12:58.in a room where rats and snakes were kept and told him the

:12:59. > :13:05.boa constrictor eights naughty boys. The trial continues. -- constrictor

:13:06. > :13:08.would eat naughty boys. Still to come on this

:13:09. > :13:10.evening's Reporting Scotland We speak to a family left devastated

:13:11. > :13:13.by the NHS decision to turn down a drug that could help sufferers

:13:14. > :13:15.of muscular dystrophy. We gauge the opinion of a couple

:13:16. > :13:18.of Old Firm greats ahead And the latest Scot who believes

:13:19. > :13:23.he's on the right track to fulfil Communities in the Western Isles are

:13:24. > :13:32.in mourning following the sinking Two bodies were recovered

:13:33. > :13:36.from the scene near the southern island of Barra while another

:13:37. > :13:57.crewman is missing. The Louisiana was at anchor off the

:13:58. > :14:03.uninhabited island of Mingulay, 12 miles south of Barra when she began

:14:04. > :14:06.to take on water in the early hours of Saturday morning. The four-man

:14:07. > :14:11.crew were browse from their banks and decided to abandon the 15 metre

:14:12. > :14:15.crew were browse from their banks crap out. Two of them decided to

:14:16. > :14:23.swim to shore, which they could see. During that swimming, one of them

:14:24. > :14:30.drifted away from the other, and he was lost. The survivor was picked up

:14:31. > :14:38.from the rocks by the Barra lifeboat and flown to hospital, from where he

:14:39. > :14:43.was released. The communities will be thinking of the families of these

:14:44. > :14:46.poor people. I know our thoughts and condolences will go out to the

:14:47. > :14:48.families. The fishing industry here is a small one, and so are the

:14:49. > :14:52.communities from which the men came. is a small one, and so are the

:14:53. > :14:57.Everyone knows everyone else, so there is grief and shock at their

:14:58. > :15:01.loss. It has been a devastating blow to the Western Isles communities. It

:15:02. > :15:06.has been the worst fishing tragedy in the Western Isles for the last 60

:15:07. > :15:12.years. Our thoughts, sympathy and condolences are with the families

:15:13. > :15:16.that have lost loved ones in Harris, Stornoway and Thurso. There are

:15:17. > :15:19.various theories as to how the vessel could have foundered while at

:15:20. > :15:24.anchor and why the boat prospect life raft failed to provide shelter

:15:25. > :15:27.for the crew until help arrived. All of this will be examined in a joint

:15:28. > :15:31.enquiry already underway, involving of this will be examined in a joint

:15:32. > :15:37.the police Marine investigation Branch. We will work very closely

:15:38. > :15:40.with the Marine accident investigation Branch to establish

:15:41. > :15:44.exactly what has happened. The families will be looking for answers

:15:45. > :15:48.and we will look to establish that. If that results in prosecution, that

:15:49. > :15:51.will be further down the line, but we have to try to bring closure to

:15:52. > :15:55.the families to establish what has happened.

:15:56. > :15:58.A mother has said she's devastated that a drug, which could have

:15:59. > :16:01.given her son a better life, has been turned down for use

:16:02. > :16:10.The drug Translarna could have helped boys with the muscle-wasting

:16:11. > :16:12.Today the Scottish Medicines Consortium said the drug

:16:13. > :16:27.Show me that is. Michael is nine years old but probably won't live to

:16:28. > :16:31.see 30. He has Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Many children his age

:16:32. > :16:35.need a wheelchair but Translarna means they can stay mobile for

:16:36. > :16:43.longer. Today's decision is heartbreaking for his mum and dad.

:16:44. > :16:46.We are devastated by the decision of SMC not to support Translarna in

:16:47. > :16:51.Scotland for boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy that desperately

:16:52. > :16:58.need it. We face a future of worry and despair, I think. Michael is on

:16:59. > :17:01.a clinical trial of the drug but that could stop at any time. His

:17:02. > :17:09.parents say he just wants to be like other boys. He just wants to be like

:17:10. > :17:12.his pals. That is a struggle for us, seeing his friends growing up and

:17:13. > :17:17.seeing Michael lagging behind, not able to do the same things they are

:17:18. > :17:24.doing. But it doesn't stop him from trying. Doing as much as he can to

:17:25. > :17:28.keep involved. A couple of months ago, he met the First Minister to

:17:29. > :17:33.ask for help with Translarna, but it is not her that makes the final

:17:34. > :17:38.decision. At ?200,000 per year for one person, the drug is expensive.

:17:39. > :17:42.We were disappointed not to be able to accept this medicine for routine

:17:43. > :17:46.use in Scotland for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The committee

:17:47. > :17:53.considered all the evidence but did not feel the benefits of the

:17:54. > :17:55.medicine justified its high cost. Campaigners think the Scottish

:17:56. > :18:01.medicines Consortium have made the wrong decision. There is a cost of

:18:02. > :18:06.not doing something. Just consider the human cost, those five families.

:18:07. > :18:11.Those children, if they were getting this drug on a regular basis, their

:18:12. > :18:14.muscular dystrophy would be slowed down to the point that they would

:18:15. > :18:20.not cost the NHS is what it would cost otherwise. What tough and is

:18:21. > :18:25.always a difficult balance for the NHS. Michael's family will appeal

:18:26. > :18:29.the decision. What to fund. A look at other stories

:18:30. > :18:30.from across the country. The Falkirk bus builder

:18:31. > :18:33.Alexander Dennis has been named the main contractor for an order

:18:34. > :18:35.from Stagecoach worth Of 480 buses and coaches

:18:36. > :18:39.being ordered by the Perth-based transport operator, more than 400

:18:40. > :18:42.are to be built by the Falkirk firm. The Woodland Trust Scotland

:18:43. > :18:45.is launching a public appeal to raise ?500,000 to purchase

:18:46. > :18:47.and restore an ancient The Loch Arkaig Pine Forest,

:18:48. > :18:56.near Spean Bridge, is home to some of Scotland's most iconic

:18:57. > :19:12.wildlife including ospreys, We are also very keen that the

:19:13. > :19:16.community are involved in this, so the wider community benefits in

:19:17. > :19:22.terms of job opportunities, taking products from the forest. So it's

:19:23. > :19:26.not preservation of the forest, it's making it a working forest.

:19:27. > :19:28.The Livingston-based company Touch Bionics has been sold

:19:29. > :19:31.to the Icelandic prosthetics firm Ossur for ?27.5 million.

:19:32. > :19:35.It's led the world in developing electrically powered artificial

:19:36. > :19:38.hands, with fingers which can be controlled independently.

:19:39. > :19:42.There will be no change to current staffing levels.

:19:43. > :19:45.Plans by Glasgow University to transform a former hospital

:19:46. > :19:49.into a teaching and research site could bring in an estimated

:19:50. > :19:52.?1 billion of investment over the next decade.

:19:53. > :19:55.The conversion of the city's former Western Infirmary will form part

:19:56. > :20:07.During construction, the development will create 2,500 jobs.

:20:08. > :20:13.The first building will be the new learning and teaching building which

:20:14. > :20:20.hopefully we can begin work on in 2017 and will be complete by 2019.

:20:21. > :20:25.By 2025, lots of development on this site, you will see buildings

:20:26. > :20:27.appearing around 2021. It's going to be over the next 5-10 years, really

:20:28. > :20:31.big changes will be made. Let's go to sport now

:20:32. > :20:33.and Eilidh has your round-up. Two of the greatest players ever

:20:34. > :20:36.to have played for the Old Firm have been speaking about this weekend's

:20:37. > :20:38.Scottish Cup meeting, and both agree there's

:20:39. > :20:40.one clear favourite. As players and managers of both

:20:41. > :20:44.clubs, Graeme Souness and Kenny Dalglish say Celtic should

:20:45. > :20:48.come out on top in a game they also Here's our senior football

:20:49. > :21:03.reporter Chris McLaughlin. On the camera again, guys. Two men,

:21:04. > :21:08.one trophy and plenty of attention ahead of a very big game. One came

:21:09. > :21:19.to Glasgow with a hard man reputation and lived up to it. Billy

:21:20. > :21:24.Stark... Incensed by that. But left knowing that Celtic against Rangers

:21:25. > :21:29.isn't just any old game. Mark Warburton has said, he has kind of

:21:30. > :21:36.played it down and said it is just another game. Really? It certainly

:21:37. > :21:42.isn't. It's the biggest derby I have been involved in. Everton-

:21:43. > :21:49.Liverpool, it is known as the friendly derby. Galatasaray with

:21:50. > :21:55.Fenerbahce, a big game. It still doesn't come near these games. The

:21:56. > :21:59.other, a Celtic legend who is well aware of the importance of the

:22:00. > :22:06.fixture. A beautiful goal by Dalglish! You are born and bred in

:22:07. > :22:14.Glasgow, you understand how big it is. It's not going to be a normal

:22:15. > :22:20.game. And so, with less than a week ago, the off feels chat has started

:22:21. > :22:24.talking of pitches, the media were prevented from filming the pitch

:22:25. > :22:29.being torn up for the second time in a month. Move along, nothing to see.

:22:30. > :22:30.Will it be ready in time? Is it just another game? Welcome to old firm

:22:31. > :22:33.week. The Hibernian head coach Alan Stubbs

:22:34. > :22:36.says his players definitely had "their pride dented"

:22:37. > :22:38.in the weekend loss to already-relegated Alloa, but

:22:39. > :22:40.they're ready to move on. This goal from Michael Duffy -

:22:41. > :22:43.which did cross the line - meant Hibs fell six points behind

:22:44. > :22:57.second-placed Falkirk, who they play I'm glad that we've got a big game

:22:58. > :23:04.that can get us to refocus very quickly. We look to put on a

:23:05. > :23:08.performance, not to put Saturday right, because there is nothing you

:23:09. > :23:12.can do about that now. What we can do is make sure we perform tomorrow.

:23:13. > :23:16.Winning the Le Mans 24-hour race has been a lifetime ambition

:23:17. > :23:18.He's the brother of the four-time Indy Car Series

:23:19. > :23:22.He's competing in the World Endurance Championship series

:23:23. > :23:23.for the first time this year, beginning at Silverstone

:23:24. > :23:38.This is the car Marino Francitti hopes will bring him success in the

:23:39. > :23:45.gruelling 24 hours of Le Mans. It is the centrepiece for the World

:23:46. > :23:49.Endurance Championships, and as part of a Ford team, Francitti has dreams

:23:50. > :23:53.of becoming the latest Scottish conqueror of one of the sport's most

:23:54. > :23:57.prestigious events. The last Scotsman who had big success was

:23:58. > :24:02.Allan McNish, a big friend of mine who was proud of the success. Jim

:24:03. > :24:09.Clark, Jackie Stewart, Colin McRae. To follow in their footsteps and

:24:10. > :24:12.where the blue is something special. What they had is success. It would

:24:13. > :24:17.be really nice to follow that with some race wins, Le Mans is number

:24:18. > :24:23.one on the list. Francitti comes from a strong racing family, his

:24:24. > :24:27.brother Dario and cousin Paul di Resta, both names you may have heard

:24:28. > :24:33.of. Why do Scots make such good drivers? I am asked that a lot. I

:24:34. > :24:38.don't know if it is our attitude, the roads have a lot to do with it.

:24:39. > :24:45.Some incredible roads. Night-time in Le Mans is like my favourite road in

:24:46. > :24:49.Scotland. Francitti managed a ninth finish in his class in Le Mans, in

:24:50. > :24:54.2010, his best finish in five attempts. But this time he has his

:24:55. > :24:57.sights set on something bigger. Success would be standing on top of

:24:58. > :25:03.the podium at four o'clock in Le Mans, having won from on the return.

:25:04. > :25:09.We have a World Championship to try and win as well, starting at

:25:10. > :25:12.Silverstone on April 17th. Success is competing at the front and

:25:13. > :25:17.hopefully winning some races on the way. All the best to Marino. How is

:25:18. > :25:27.the weather looking? Mixed fortunes. A fairly mixed bag

:25:28. > :25:32.weather-wise. Some sunshine as well as the cloud, especially across the

:25:33. > :25:37.North. That sets the scene for the next couple of days. Tonight we will

:25:38. > :25:40.hold onto the driest weather, with the clearest skies across the

:25:41. > :25:46.north-west and the Northern Isles. That will allow temperatures here to

:25:47. > :25:49.fall to around 2-3 Celsius. Elsewhere, a fair amount of cloud. A

:25:50. > :25:51.fall to around 2-3 Celsius. dispatch of rain working into the

:25:52. > :25:55.South and eventually reaching the central belt by the end of the

:25:56. > :26:01.night. With the cloud and rain, it prevents temperatures falling away

:26:02. > :26:07.too far, 5-6 Celsius. For the western coasts and the Western

:26:08. > :26:11.Isles, a fairly keen East - north-easterly wind. Tomorrow,

:26:12. > :26:15.something of a north-south split. Across the north, we will hold onto

:26:16. > :26:19.the best, driest and brightest weather. For central and southern

:26:20. > :26:24.areas, a lot of cloud and further outbreaks of rain. Taking a closer

:26:25. > :26:27.look at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, the rain will continue

:26:28. > :26:29.across the south-west. Heavy pulses of rain through the Borders, working

:26:30. > :26:33.its way up into Perthshire. Try and of rain through the Borders, working

:26:34. > :26:39.brighter interludes at times across Argyll. The best of the weather

:26:40. > :26:43.across the North. The best of the sunshine across the likes of Harris,

:26:44. > :26:49.Lewes, Sutherland and the Northern Isles. Temperatures peaking at

:26:50. > :26:54.around 13 Celsius. A fairly brisk East to north-easterly wind. In the

:26:55. > :26:57.evening, the North holds on the best, driest and brightest

:26:58. > :27:01.evening, the North holds on the conditions. Rather cloudy with

:27:02. > :27:05.further rain, further south. Wednesday, low pressure continues to

:27:06. > :27:11.dominate proceedings. Throwing the weather fronts away across the UK.

:27:12. > :27:15.On Wednesday it self, a lot of cloud and some rain, especially in the

:27:16. > :27:21.east. Dreyer, the further west you are. Temperatures will reach ten,

:27:22. > :27:28.still an east to north-easterly wind.

:27:29. > :27:34.Edinburgh City Council have clarified the information it issued

:27:35. > :27:37.about schools. Surveys from four schools have revealed they all have

:27:38. > :27:46.the same building faults. Still waiting for the results of checks on

:27:47. > :27:47.13 others were buildings. I am back at 10:25pm. Until then, goodbye. --
