and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Some of the seventeen Edinburgh schools closed on safety | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
grounds could be shut for a long time. | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
Some might be a matter of days, some might be weeks and some may be | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
longer, but it is not certain. The trial of two women, | :00:21. | :00:30. | |
accused of murdering two-year-old Liam Fee, | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
has heard that it would be possible for a "single stamp" from another | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
child to have caused the injury that How the terror attack on the Stade | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
de France in Paris has influenced the policing of this weekend's | :00:41. | :00:52. | |
Scottish Cup semi-finals. And, we're invited inside the men's | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
shed to see what it It could take some time | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
for all of the 17 Edinburgh schools, The council leader said some had | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
faults that might be fixed quickly, but others could have | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
"longer term" problems. Hundreds more pupils returned | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
to classes today, including the remaining 4th, 5th and 6th | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
years, who're preparing for exams. It's also emerged that the buildings | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
were signed off by the private company that built them | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
and not the council. Here's our education | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
correspondent Jamie McIvor. Like an equation you add or subtract | :01:25. | :01:36. | |
things. It was almost business as usual at Drummond community high | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
school today. All the pupils are now back and a gradual return to school | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
across Edinburgh is continuing. All children will resume their education | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
by next Tuesday, but some will not be in their usual schools. We won | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
our focus on getting all the schools reopen as quickly as possible. | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
Potentially it may be months? Some might be a matter of days, Drummond | :02:02. | :02:15. | |
is open now, some might be weeks, some longer, but it is impossible | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
for me to be certain. Most of Drummond high is about 100 years | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
old, but work was done some ten years ago. All the students are back | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
today but significant parts of the building are still closed off. The | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
gymnasium is strictly out of bounds. All students due to sit exams are | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
now back at school. Some practical exams have been postponed. In the | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
next three weeks we will fully prepare our young people and there | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
will be no difficulties with that whatsoever. I hope it will be the | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
difference between an a and Abbey as opposed to a pass and fail. Across | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
Edinburgh work is taking place to identify where urgent repairs are | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
needed, but the issues go well beyond the disruption and worry | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
facing parents and students. The 17 schools closed this week were all | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
built or refurbished using a private finance scheme. The company | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
responsible is the Edinburgh Schools Partnership. The Council Is Due | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
Compensation. We Are Taking Back ?350,000 A Week In Terms Of Fees | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
That Have Not Been Paid To The Partnership Because They Are | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
Responsible For The Maintenance Of The Schools. Private Finance | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
Deals For Public Services Have Always Been Controversial but there | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
is a question about council building control. It turns | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
out private business, not the council, signed the buildings off. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
Such arrangements are not unusual. Depending on the type of contract | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
they may have been no requirement for the local authority | :03:44. | :03:53. | |
to carry out a formal inspection. But questions over why things went | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
so badly wrong will take time to answer. The youngsters at Drummond | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
are luckier than many. Some parents and children still do not know which | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
school building they will be going to next week, let alone when they | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
might be back in their normal building. | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
The trial of two women, accused of murdering | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
two-year-old Liam Fee, has heard that it would be possible | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
for a "single stamp" from another child to have caused the injury that | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
Rachel and Nyomi Fee deny killing the young boy at a house | :04:23. | :04:30. | |
near Glenrothes in March 2014 and are blaming his | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
For a second day pathologies were questioned on Liam Fee's cause of | :04:33. | :04:44. | |
death. The court heard it was a rupture to the heart that would have | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
been caused by severe force and would have led to his death | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
instantaneously. lawyer asked the pathologist about a | :04:50. | :04:50. | |
number of the injuries identified on his body. The | :04:51. | :04:59. | |
pathologist was asked about the strength of the blow to his body. Mr | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
Stewart asked him is it possible single stamp | :05:05. | :05:04. | |
could have caused the injury? The pathologist agreed. He then asked if | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
the star could have been caused by a single person and that pathologist | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
agreed. Then he asked is it possible that single person could have been a | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
child weighing about four stone and the pathologist said it was | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
possible. Alex Prentice QC requesting to him asking if the | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
injury would require more than a bridge or a punch. Mr French said it | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
would take severe force and any adult could have done it. Rachel and | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
Nyomi Fee denied killing Liam Fee and blaming his death on another | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
child and they also deny a series of charges of wilfully ill treating and | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
neglecting two other boys. The trial here at Livingston continues. | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
You are watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
Still to come on tonight's programme: The health | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
benefits, both mental and physical, of men's sheds. | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
In sport, the managers of Hibs and Dundee United go head to head | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
ahead of the first of the weekend's Scottish Cup semifinals on Saturday. | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
And there's an impressive comeback from Andy Murray in Monte Carlo | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
as he fights his way through to tomorrow's quarterfinals. | :06:08. | :06:16. | |
The man in charge of policing this weekend's Scottish Cup semi-finals | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
has outlined how the terror attack on the Stade de France in Paris has | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
BBC Scotland has been given access to the hub, from where security | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
All quiet now, but by the weekend this Glasgow police station will be | :06:30. | :06:45. | |
a hive of activity. This is where a massive security operation | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
surrounding the Scottish cup semifinals will be masterminded. | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
Hamdan Stadium may be the main focus, but this operation takes in | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
the rest of Glasgow and towns and cities all over the country. | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
Factored into their safety strategy is a new element, the terrorist | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
attack in France in November means additional security is now the norm. | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
We have a proportionate level of response. The threat level remains | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
severe and we are alive to that. We have armed officers on duty, 365 | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
days of the year, again to provide a response should we need to respond | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
to anything and that will be the same over the course of the weekend. | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
It is not just the job of the police to ensure things go smoothly at the | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
weekend. It is also the responsibility of Hampden Park | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
Limited and their operation will be controlled in the control room | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
behind me. They will be monitoring fans to ensure their safety, but | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
also to keep an eye on any potential disorder. The authorities are | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
desperate to avoid further instances of pyrotechnics being set of inside | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
stadiums. Equally police say offensive behaviour, including | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
singing, will be dealt with, if not on the day then retrospectively. | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
Historically Rangers and Celtic games can be volatile affairs. They | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
will be reminded of their responsibility this week, the | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
players, but will that be forgotten during the battle? It is common | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
sense and it is important to keep a lid on it when you are playing. The | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
players have a responsibility to themselves, the team-mates, the | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
supporters and the club to win the game. Although there is plenty at | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
stake this weekend the police are as keen as anyone for the post match | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
headlines to be about football. At the halfway point | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
in the Holyrood election jobs, wages and pensions have dominated | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
the day's campaigning. Here's our political | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
correspondent, Glenn Campbell. When shipbuilding jobs came under | :08:57. | :09:07. | |
threat in the lower Clyde, Nicola Sturgeon says SNP ministers helped | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
threat in the lower Clyde, Nicola find a buyer for Fergusons in Port | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
Glasgow and she would not hesitate to step in again in similar | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
circumstances. If you want to have a First Minister and a government that | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
puts economic growth is central to everything we do and is prepared to | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
intervene, that government has got to be the SNP. They will protect | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
industries. At lunch with older people in Easterhouse, Labour is | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
promising to dish out extra cash to female pensioners who are losing out | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
on UK in. They Say Better Benefits Can Be Paid For By Growing A More | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
on UK in. They Say Better Benefits Highly Skilled Workforce. The Only | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
Way We Can Bring High Skill, Decent Jobs To Scotland Is By Investing In | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
Those Schools And This Is Why We Are Arguing To Use The Tax Powers Of The | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
Parliament To Invest More In Arguing To Use The Tax Powers Of The | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
Education. The Conservatives say Arguing To Use The Tax Powers Of The | :10:05. | :10:05. | |
politicians need to make running a business easier. It is about | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
politicians need to make running a business rates low and freezing them | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
until we get an overhaul and not making Scotland the highest tax part | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
of the UK. That is what the others want to do. In Dunfermline the | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
Liberal Democrats want no more government grants to go to firms who | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
do not paid a living wage, and what investment in education. The biggest | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
talent we have in this country is a skilled workforce and education has | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
suffered in recent years and we need to reverse back to get that | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
workforce back to its best again to have that vibrant economy. Different | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
parties, different priorities for growing the economy. And Glenn joins | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
me from outside the Scottish Parliament. We are exactly halfway | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
through the campaign. Three weeks down, three weeks to go. Although | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
voting in this election is already under way because the first postal | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
ballots have been delivered and some of them have already been returned. | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
Even though we do not have the detailed promises from all the | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
parties. Ukip, the Green Party, the Conservatives have published their | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
manifestos, but the others have yet to do so. We got one you promise | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
from Labour today. They say they want to use the new welfare powers | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
to top up the pensions of some women who are losing out under the UK | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
system. Conservatives say that would be to give with one hand and take | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
away with the other because Labour want to increase income tax. The SNP | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
and the Liberal Democrats say they want to keep up pressure on the UK | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
Government to fix this problem because pensions are not devolved. | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
If this is not enough, there is another boat is taking place in | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
June, the EU referendum on the 23rd of June, and the campaign for that | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
formally gets under way tomorrow. A look at other stories | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
from across the country. Three teenage girls are safe | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
and well after their boat capsized The alert was raised shortly | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
after quarter to two this afternoon. One of the three made it ashore, | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
but her companions had to be rescued from an island in the river | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
by coastguards using a rescue boat. Because they work cold and | :12:15. | :12:27. | |
potentially hypothermia, we needed to get them quickly, so we used | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
their boat and we used ropes and we got them off quickly. | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
Leading Scottish charities are warning that large quantities | :12:37. | :12:37. | |
of legal highs are being stockpiled, before a new law prohibits | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
Users of the potentially dangerous "club drugs" are taking | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
advantage of heavy discounts being offered by online suppliers | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
A sharp increase in the marketing of e-cigarettes may be encouraging | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
more young people to try the product, according | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
to researchers led by Stirling University. | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
A study found that high school students, who recalled seeing | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
e-cigarette displays in small shops, were twice as likely | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
Work on the Glasgow Queen Street railway tunnel has | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
entered a new phase, with the removal of 10,000 tonnes | :13:13. | :13:14. | |
The work will create extra height for the installation of pylons that | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
will power a new fleet of faster, electric trains between | :13:21. | :13:22. | |
Network Rail say the project is on track for an | :13:23. | :13:35. | |
huge undertaking, probably the biggest engineering work that has | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
been carried out on the line since it was built in 1842. | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
Archaeologists from the National Trust for Scotland are marking this | :13:49. | :13:57. | |
weekend's 270th anniversary of the battle of Culloden | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
by carrying out aerial scans of the battlefield site. | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
Laser scanning technology will be used to create | :14:02. | :14:03. | |
It's hoped the scan will reveal new details about the positions held | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
by Jacobite and Government forces and about how the landscape | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
influenced the outcome of the battle. | :14:10. | :14:10. | |
Let's get the sport now, from Eilidh. | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
Hibernian manager Alan Stubbs insists there's no favourite ahead | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
of his side's Scottish Cup semifinal match against Dundee United. | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
Both sides have been struggling in their respective leagues lately, | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
so who can come out on top at the National Stadium? | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
Here's our senior Football Reporter Chris McLaughlin. | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
There have been plenty of talking about the Hampden pitch which has | :14:32. | :14:40. | |
just been relayed. Plenty of talk as well about the Old Firm, but today | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
it is all about these two. And the head to head has become something of | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
a tradition. But with both sides having a worrying hand in history, | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
it is the present that causes concern. Princes Street in Edinburgh | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
looked like this the last time Hibs won the trophy in 1902. In 2016 they | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
have won just DOS matches in 11. won the trophy in 1902. In 2016 they | :15:04. | :15:12. | |
Quality is permanent. When you have got quality it is a matter of time | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
before that comes back to the fore again. United and their manager have | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
remained defiant in the face of relegation, but he wants a cup | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
victory for fans. The situation has been horrendous for the club, and | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
the team. The numbers that follow us away from home, the numbers that we | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
regularly have at Tannadice are great. Our supporters are vocal and | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
they support the team. Looe you could say that both teams could | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
possibly use because they are in such a horrendous state at the | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
moment. I was at Hibs the other night and they threw away a 2-0 | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
lead. It is really hard to pick a winner. If one can shake off the | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
past and current form, a final against Celtic or Rangers awaits. | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
Andy Murray says he's still searching for his best | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
tennis but is pleased with his fighting qualities. | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
They were certainly needed at the Monte Carlo Masters | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
when he went a set and a double break down to France's Benoit Paire. | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
The Scot staged quite a comeback to win, and now faces Milos Raonic | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
tomorrow for a place in the semifinals. | :16:19. | :16:20. | |
Plain sailing and calm waters, not something that always comes easily | :16:21. | :16:32. | |
to Andy Murray, but with world number one Novak Djokovic defeated | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
in Monte Carlo, could beat Scott keep his head above water? He swam | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
against the tide early as world than 21 Benoit Paire took the first set. | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
Murray was almost down and out when 21 Benoit Paire took the first set. | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
eight double fault almost gifted his opponent a double break in the | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
second set. All hope was lost, though, 0- three soon became 2-3. At | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
4-4 he was no longer marooned in the match. At 1-1 in sets, a real | :17:00. | :17:07. | |
lifeline had been thrown. His place in the final eight looked in peril | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
when Paire served for the match, but a double fault again let his | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
opponent off the hook. The Frenchman's next double fault was | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
more significant, coming on match point. Andy Murray's rescue mission | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
was complete, but he will hope for less choppy waters tomorrow against | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
Canada's Milos Raonic in the quarterfinals. | :17:28. | :17:29. | |
Stephen Gallacher says he aims to get back into the world top 50 | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
this season as he makes his return to competitive action | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
next week at golf's Shenzhen International | :17:36. | :17:36. | |
following surgery on an injured hand. | :17:37. | :17:38. | |
Looking relaxed today at a charity event, it all gets serious tomorrow | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
as he flies over to a double header of events in China, | :17:42. | :17:43. | |
and despite a difficult start to the year, Gallacher says | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
he hasn't ruled out being part of Europe's Ryder Cup | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
My expectations are very low. You need to be consistent, winning | :17:49. | :18:01. | |
tournaments, but if you win the right ones and get hot for a few | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
weeks, you never know. You've always got to still believe you can do it. | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
France this year has double points, and there are big runs, playing | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
great tournaments like Cassell Stuart and then the Open at Troon. | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
You need to hit the hotspot at the right time and hopefully I can do | :18:21. | :18:22. | |
it. There's an all-Scottish clash | :18:23. | :18:26. | |

Anthony McGill meets the 2005 winner A leading cardiologist is urging | :18:38. | :18:39. | |
the Scottish government to help save an initiative, | :18:40. | :18:49. | |
that allows retired men to enjoy the health | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
benefits of having a shed. Founded in Australia, | :18:53. | :18:54. | |
Men's Shed groups have been set up across the country as community | :18:55. | :18:56. | |
facilities for older men. But many are struggling | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
to stay open. Jackie O'Brien reports | :19:01. | :19:02. | |
from Inverness. This community man Cave has opened | :19:03. | :19:15. | |
the door on a whole new world for many of its occupants. Whether | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
retired, widowed, or just getting under the wife's feet. We have got | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
to know people all around here who have never met each other in their | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
lives before. Based on an Australian setup, more than 80 members use this | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
super shed is a place to improve skills, meet new friends, or put the | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
world to rights over a cup of tea. I've been given the opportunity to | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
use my hands, make things and meet people and I've thoroughly enjoyed | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
every minute of it. My wife died a couple of years ago so I had stopped | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
doing woodwork. It's got be more motivated now. You are never too old | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
to learn new tricks in. This 93-year-old might remember crystal | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
radio, but he's now learning how to use an iPad. It's all a miracle | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
really. I beginning to get civilised! Long may it continue. | :20:10. | :20:18. | |
While particularly attached to their shed, the men do occasionally get | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
out of it to help support local community projects like this pram | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
sheltered they helped build for local mums. The shed could close | :20:26. | :20:35. | |
unless funding is found to pay the rent. You can see the pleasure the | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
guys get from coming along here, making things and socialising. I | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
would hate if it had to stop, and so would they. Leading doctors argue | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
the shed project is a life-saver. Socialisation, but being sedentary | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
is bad for your health. It's linked to cardiovascular disease. The men | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
sheds is attracting those men who might already have those diseases, | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
or are at risk, they are getting out of the house and doing things. The | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
heart specialist is urging Scottish ministers to follow the Australian | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
government's lead and help fund the initiative which has become a | :21:16. | :21:16. | |
lifeline for many elderly men. Now here's Andrew with details | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
of Scotland 2016... In an era of pay restraint, why is | :21:20. | :21:31. | |
the BP Chief Executive pocketing ?40 million this year? Shareholders said | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
no, but it's happening anyway. And we are on the buses as the Royal | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
roots are getting rarer. -- the rural routes. | :21:42. | :21:43. | |
Here's Kirsteen now, with the weather forecast. | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
Not anything particularly unusual for this time of year but the wintry | :21:48. | :21:57. | |
mess might be a shock to the system. Some unusual conditions today, | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
mostly dry and bright but we have also seen some sunshine. As we head | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
into the night and tomorrow morning, some wintry nests in the forecast | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
with a distinctly wintry flavour. As a result the Met office has issued a | :22:11. | :22:18. | |
yellow be aware warning for snow. That's more relevant across the | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
North of Scotland. Here is the reason why, a cold front tracking | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
into Shetland this evening which gradually pushes in through much of | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
northern Scotland as we had overnight. A plunge of cold air | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
behind that turning the rain to snow. More especially over the | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
mountains, hills and higher ground, but we could see a dusting of snow | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
on lower levels overnight. With lower temperatures falling to | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
freezing across the North, there will be the risk of ice across a | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
untreated roads. Temperatures holding up in the south of around 4 | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
degrees. Tomorrow warning we start with a band of rain, sleet and snow | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
across much of the North, tracking its way through central and southern | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
Scotland as we had through the course of the day, predominantly | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
falling as rain in lower levels, perhaps some wintry nest over | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
mountains and hills here, but all the while we will have another batch | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
of wintry showers feeding into the North. The showers will be heavy and | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
frequent, perhaps snow on lower levels in some areas, but tending | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
not to settle in daylight as we will have strong April sunshine melting | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
away those showers. Strong to gale force northern winds across the | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
North leading to quite a cold feeling, and we could have the odd | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
rumble of thunder and showers as well. In central and southern | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
Scotland, rain, and some of it will be wintry across the higher level | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
road routes. In the evening it will pull away from central and southern | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
Scotland. Across the North we might see some snow beginning to settle in | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
the lower levels. On Saturday, something of an improving picture | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
with higher pressure influencing from the West and wintry showers for | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
a time across the North. Otherwise, dry and bright but feeling fairly | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
cold. Now, a reminder of | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
tonight's main news. closed on safety grounds, to reopen. | :24:11. | :24:11. | |
for all of the 17 Edinburgh schools The council leader said some had | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
faults that might be fixed quickly, but others could have | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
"longer term" problems. It's also emerged that the buildings | :24:20. | :24:20. | |
were signed off by the private company that built them - | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
and not the council. Shareholders in the oil company BP | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
have voted against a ?14 million pay deal for its chief | :24:27. | :24:33. | |
executive, Bob Dudley. Almost 60% rejected the package - | :24:34. | :24:35. | |
but it still doesn't mean Mr Dudley I'll be back with the headlines | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
at 8:00pm and the late bulletin just Until then, from everyone | :24:39. | :24:47. | |
on the team right across the country, have a very good | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
evening. | :24:52. | :24:54. |
