:06:41. > :06:43.Once we get to western Shetland, we can normally have up to 168

:06:47. > :06:49.Lots of diving activities on the turret.

:07:17. > :07:19.It goes off to machinery which separates it,

:07:20. > :07:23.but this bit here remains fixed to the same spot.

:07:51. > :07:53.How important is the area of the west of Shetland in the future?

:07:54. > :07:58.What the west of Shetland will be to BP in the 2030 decade

:09:32. > :09:37.The report says the accommodation is amongst the best in

:09:59. > :10:00.The inspection team found that some healthcare staff

:10:01. > :10:07.a problem the governor's promised to address.

:10:08. > :10:10.If you look at the report, it flies in the face

:10:11. > :10:12.of people feeling safe and there are good

:10:13. > :10:18.If that is how NHS staff feel, that is my job and others' to work

:10:19. > :10:21.positively to address those concerns.

:10:22. > :10:26.Some young offenders were removed following the riots,

:11:10. > :11:14.off between Stranraer and Ayr United, it was a 1-1 draw.

:11:15. > :11:16.Well, it's over to Anne now with the weather outlook

:11:17. > :11:28.A very good evening. Plenty of warm sunshine in the forecast today. We

:11:29. > :11:33.had the warmest temperature of the whole of the UK, reaching 24 Celsius

:11:34. > :11:39.in the south-west, closely followed by open and the Isle of Skye at 23

:11:40. > :11:47.Celsius. A stark contrast from west to east. The bridges between 13 and

:11:48. > :11:52.15 Celsius here. Overnight, so that mist and fog patches developing for

:11:53. > :11:58.many eastern parts and far north. Further west, clear skies but plenty

:11:59. > :12:04.of dry weather on offer. If you're heading out in the evening --

:12:05. > :12:12.morning, plenty of dry weather to start the day, not a cold start.

:12:13. > :12:18.Perhaps a bit of mist and murkiness in the morning, similarly so I'll be

:12:19. > :12:24.Murray Coast. Sunlight and patchy rain through Shetland but dazzling

:12:25. > :12:28.sunshine through the night Highlands and the Western Isles. With the rest

:12:29. > :12:32.of the morning, that mist and fog will linger along the east coast but

:12:33. > :12:36.will eventually burn away to leave a fine and bright today. Temperature

:12:37. > :12:41.is responding well in the best of the sunshine. A similar story as we

:12:42. > :12:46.look towards the rest of the UK, plenty of sunshine. Temperatures

:12:47. > :12:50.reaching highs of 24 Celsius in and around the London area. Here in

:12:51. > :12:56.Scotland, temperatures of 21 Celsius at best in the west. Always that bit

:12:57. > :13:02.cooler to the east, with a fresh north-easterly breeze. Towards the

:13:03. > :13:11.end of the week, we will be pulling in our masks from the north and that

:13:12. > :13:17.will put a pitch is back. We are looking to see temperatures return

:13:18. > :13:20.to the average for the year. The emphasis is for plenty of dry

:13:21. > :13:21.weather with brightness also. That is your forecast.

:13:22. > :13:24.Our next update is during Breakfast at 6:25 tomorrow morning.

:13:25. > :13:28.But, from everyone on the late team here in Glasgow and around
