Thanks very much. -- taking the yellow jersey.

A man's in a serious condition in hospital after a jet ski

:00:00.:00:09.

The collision between two water scooters happened yesterday evening

:00:10.:00:13.

and the injured man was airlifted to the Queen Elizabeth

:00:14.:00:16.

Loch Lomond, a popular site for water sports enthusiasts, but a

:00:17.:00:32.

potentially dangerous one as well. Last night near to Inchmurrin island

:00:33.:00:37.

two jet skis collided, leaving a man seriously injured. Two other people

:00:38.:00:42.

helped him stay afloat with the assistance of the park authority

:00:43.:00:46.

staff. A rescue boat was dispatched from the nearby lifeboat station and

:00:47.:00:49.

help to transfer the man to the island on which a rescue helicopter

:00:50.:00:54.

was able to land to give further treatment. He was then lifted to the

:00:55.:00:58.

Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Glasgow where he remains in a serious but

:00:59.:01:00.

where he remains in a serious but stable condition.

:01:01.:01:03.

An eight-year-old girl is in a critical condition

:01:04.:01:05.

in Ninewells Hospital after she was hit

:01:06.:01:06.

It happened around nine o'clock last night at St Fillan's Road.

:01:07.:01:10.

Police who were searching for a missing man in

:01:11.:01:12.

71-year-old William Clark, who's known as Billy,

:01:13.:01:15.

was last seen in the Muirhall Road area of the city last night.

:01:16.:01:19.

Rail users across Scotland have seen another day of disruption

:01:20.:01:22.

to services due to a continuing dispute between the RMT

:01:23.:01:24.

The union is campaigning against the increased use

:01:25.:01:29.

of trains without guards, leaving the driver responsible

:01:30.:01:32.

The RMT said it had no option but to walk out once again after the

:01:33.:01:48.

failure of talks. The union says the dispute is about the introduction of

:01:49.:01:53.

what it describes as driver only trains and the safety conditions of

:01:54.:01:59.

that. It is a far better train system to have two people on the

:02:00.:02:03.

train and as far as we are concerned, having regard on the

:02:04.:02:09.

train insurers that Scotland's trains remain safe. Not so, says

:02:10.:02:16.

ScotRail. According to the operator there will always be a second member

:02:17.:02:20.

of staff to help the driver, whether that be a conductor or ticket

:02:21.:02:24.

examiner. It is a system that already operates on many suburban

:02:25.:02:29.

services. No one loses their jobs, no one loses pay, we are only

:02:30.:02:33.

improving the railway for our customers. We want to come up with

:02:34.:02:36.

solutions that improve punctuality, reduces journey time and makes our

:02:37.:02:43.

customers happier. Happy is not the word to describe these customers.

:02:44.:02:47.

For them this is the reality, queueing for a bus in the rain. We

:02:48.:02:52.

expected the train and it was cheaper to get a bus from a

:02:53.:02:55.

different service, but we have paid for a train ticket. We have come

:02:56.:03:00.

from England, so we did not know that much about it. It has cost us a

:03:01.:03:05.

fair amount. As long as we get the ferry it will be fine. The transport

:03:06.:03:10.

minister has called for the suspension of the strike while more

:03:11.:03:14.

dialogue takes place, although no further talks are planned. This is

:03:15.:03:18.

the ninth strike we have had to endure in recent weeks. ScotRail

:03:19.:03:23.

says they have run almost 80% of services, albeit some of them

:03:24.:03:29.

reduced. But with another walk-out planned for next Sunday commuters

:03:30.:03:32.

Teaching young people about the dangers of alcohol

:03:33.:03:36.

But there have been encouraging results from a project in Edinburgh

:03:37.:03:40.

where the teenagers themselves lead the discussion.

:03:41.:03:43.

Joanne Macaulay reports caught up with them just before

:03:44.:03:45.

What does drinking mean to you? This lesson at Portobello high school is

:03:46.:03:58.

slightly different, a room full of teenagers, but the door is closed to

:03:59.:04:03.

adults and teachers. Senior pupils have undergone special training to

:04:04.:04:07.

lead these discussions with younger pupils about Scotland's notorious

:04:08.:04:11.

drinking culture. It makes me realise that if I do not want to

:04:12.:04:15.

drink alcohol, and others are, that I do not have to feel pressured into

:04:16.:04:19.

it because there are lots of people who feel the same way. People are

:04:20.:04:25.

sharing stories about people they know, even if you do not know them,

:04:26.:04:30.

that is what makes it personal to you and that is what encourages you

:04:31.:04:31.

to take action. Schools in Edinburgh you and that is what encourages you

:04:32.:04:37.

have these groups were preconceived ideas about drinking are being

:04:38.:04:42.

broken down. Before, what we would find is in the playground people

:04:43.:04:44.

would be talking about drunkenness find is in the playground people

:04:45.:04:48.

as if it was funny and great and a good way to behave. The people who

:04:49.:04:54.

disagreed kept quiet. We create a safe space, we give people the

:04:55.:04:59.

ability, the confidence, to speak out and the reassurance from each

:05:00.:05:04.

other that they will not be judged. The benefits are being felt in the

:05:05.:05:09.

wider community. I have definitely seen a real difference in the amount

:05:10.:05:13.

of young people drinking, predominately at the weekends. We do

:05:14.:05:18.

not have the same sort of alcohol-related anti-social

:05:19.:05:22.

behaviour like we used to. They hoped the project can be extended to

:05:23.:05:27.

more schools to promote healthier attitudes to drinking in future

:05:28.:05:29.

Football, and Celtic have completed the signing of former

:05:30.:05:33.

Liverpool defender Kolo Toure on a one-year deal.

:05:34.:05:35.

The 35-year-old Ivory Coast international worked under manager

:05:36.:05:38.

Let's get the weather prospects for this evening and the start

:05:39.:05:45.

of the week and Kawser is at the map.

:05:46.:05:51.

It has been a great, misty, murky and damp end to the day. Overnight

:05:52.:05:59.

we will continue to see some outbreaks of rain, courtesy of this

:06:00.:06:02.

low pressure which is only over Scotland. For the rest of the

:06:03.:06:07.

evening and overnight those outbreaks could be quite heavy for a

:06:08.:06:12.

time, especially as it spreads north eastwards over the country. Some

:06:13.:06:17.

clearer spells developing as we head through the night. It becomes drier

:06:18.:06:21.

across the South and east of the country. A bit chilly as

:06:22.:06:27.

temperatures dipped to around eight or nine Celsius, but elsewhere

:06:28.:06:31.

holding on double figures. Some showers start to push in across the

:06:32.:06:36.

west coast. Tomorrow morning it will be cloudy and wait in western parts

:06:37.:06:41.

of Scotland and Northern Ireland. The best of any sunshine is on the

:06:42.:06:46.

east coast, but the showers will become more widespread across the

:06:47.:06:50.

afternoon and there may well be the odd rumble of thunder. The high

:06:51.:06:54.

teens further towards the north and the low 20s in the south, so average

:06:55.:06:59.

for this time of year. Tomorrow those showers will continue for some

:07:00.:07:05.

time, but it will become drier in the evening over the eastern part of

:07:06.:07:10.

the country. On Tuesday we are looking at sunshine and scattered

:07:11.:07:13.

showers and they drift further inland as we head through the day.

:07:14.:07:18.

The best of the brightness in the east and temperatures in the mid to

:07:19.:07:20.

Our next update's just after the ten o'clock news.

:07:21.:07:25.

Until then, from everyone on the team here in Glasgow, enjoy
