Grainger, has become Britain's most decorated female | :00:50. | :01:11. | |
Olympian, after winning silver with her partner Victoria Thornley | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
in the double sculls at Rio. The pair came agonisingly close | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
to gold, but were beaten into second place by Poland in the last | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
few metres of the race. Our Olympics reporter Jane Lewis | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
is in Rio. What an absolutely sensational race | :01:24. | :01:34. | |
we witnessed here at the Lagoa Stadium. Silver for Katherine | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
Grainger in the women's pairs, along with her partner Vicky Thornley, | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
Grainger's fifth Olympic medal. They gave it their all in the double | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
sculls. The pair struggled in the build-up to this games but were | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
sculls. The pair struggled in the leading for much of the race, only | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
to lose out to the Polish power. It is Grainger's fifth Olympic medal. | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
Overwhelming pride, that offers one to win out of all five medals. I'm | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
still proud. There are not many people who would have expected us to | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
lead the race of that calibre of finalists. It shows you the depth of | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
belief we had in each other, and the boat. Of course we were going to go | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
to win the race, disappointing not to love one it. You have had a | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
difficult build-up to this one. Decision vindicated to put you in | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
this team? Yes. We had a lot of support, it's | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
this team? not like it was us against the | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
system and some people believed in us before we did, to some extent. Of | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
course we proved our selection was the right thing am proud to walk | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
away with not just a great result but a medal. | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
How long will it take to sink in, Britain's most decorated female | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
Olympian, lovely title? It's lovely, it's not the reason you | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
do it but I will sit and enjoy a glass of champagne tonight, one or | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
two bottles! Back in four years? In some capacity | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
but not in a boat. A stunning setting here at Lagoa Stadium and a | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
stunning day for Scottish rowing. Katherine Grainger winning a silver | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
in the double sculls, her fifth Olympic medal. | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
Katherine Grainger began rowing at Edinburgh University | :03:18. | :03:18. | |
Lisa Summers looks back at her remarkable career. | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
They gathered tentatively in front of the big screen. It was here at | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
the University of Edinburgh that Katherine Grainger's rowing career | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
began. And jubilation at such a phenomenal achievement, even if it | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
wasn't to be gold. They are going away Olympic silver medallist. | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
We are really lucky to have people to look up to like that. I know | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
other clubs look up to Catherine as well. Everyone tries to grab a bit | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
of Catherine. She went to St Andrews, but have someone like her | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
out there is inspiring for everyone. Last time Katherine Grainger was | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
here it was to open the gym in her name. At the University's rowing | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
club there were plenty of early morning shifts honing her skills. | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
This is where Katherine Grainger learned to row. The union Canal in | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
Edinburgh. It is no wider than the lane that she has just been rowing | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
in in Rio, but this is where she did all the hard graft that turned her | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
into the most successful female Olympian we've ever had. | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
Back in 2012 Katherine Grainger took hold with partner Anna Watkins. Add | :04:29. | :04:36. | |
to that three silvers from Sydney, Athens and Beijing, her record equal | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
to Rebecca Adlington. Today's medal with new partner Vicky Thornley made | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
it one better. It's fantastic, what she's managed to achieve, to | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
basically go into retirement, take two years off and then fight her way | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
back into the team. Five weeks ago she was basically out, and actually | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
get a silver medal is some achievement. | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
At 40 and with an armful of Olympic medals, Katherine Grainger will | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
undoubtably be an inspiration for young and old. | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
Well there are more Scots in action in Rio tonight. | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
Let's cross to Rio and our Olympics reporter Kheredine Idessane. | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
Yes, it's been quite a day for Team GB and Scotland on the water. Where | :05:19. | :05:31. | |
hoping it's going to continue just now. I am at the Whitewater Centre | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
and in just a few minutes time Scotland's David Florence and | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
hitting this partner Richard Hounslow will be going in the final | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
of the sea to canoe, the double. Silver medallist in London four | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
years ago and qualified for the final third fastest. A real medal | :05:49. | :05:58. | |
prospect. Also Fiona Pennie. She is the second fastest qualifier, so | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
again, fabulous chance for her to get a medal in that final after | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
again, fabulous chance for her to seven o'clock. It is a hectic day of | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
action here in Rio because Andy Murray right now is on Centre Court. | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
The news from there is... We can have a look at him taking the first | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
set from Italy's Fabio Fognini. 6-1 to Andy Murray. Superb stuff for | :06:22. | :06:31. | |
him. Things not going quite so smoothly in the second set. Fabio | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
Fognini has just broken Murray and it is for- two in the second set. A | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
breakdown in the second set. Best-of-3, Olympic tennis. Just | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
after seven o'clock, what a match for the rugby sevens team. They are | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
taking on South Africa in a semifinal, just after seven o'clock. | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
Mark Bennett and the guys last night had a wonderful, if nervy win over | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
Argentina. They beat them 5-0. A very tight quarterfinal, but | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
terrific stuff from Mark Bennett and the Rugby sevens guys. Not too long | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
since they face South Africa for a place in the final. And if that is | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
not enough for you, we will also have Cal and skin are trying to do a | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
sort of Chris Hoy, the canoes Sprint is an later on in the Val velodrome | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
and Callum skin will be taking over the third-place, hopefully with the | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
same result, would now be wonderful? Right behind me David Florence has | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
started that run with Richard Hounslow. Fingers crossed for them. | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
Hopefully they have a medal performance in them. It was silver | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
four years ago in London. Can they go one better question that we will | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
keep you updated and keep you up-to-date with all the Scots in | :07:47. | :07:52. | |

Katherine Grainger. Bad weather is hampering a salvage | :07:56. | :07:56. | |
operation to refloat an oil rig which ran aground on the western | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
isles on Sunday. But coastguards say they don't | :08:00. | :08:02. | |

priority. We have to continue with the | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
assessments. We know there is a lot of damage to the systems they will | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
be fundamental to the refloating operation. We don't want a free | :09:08. | :09:10. | |

The main concern being summer damaged could or will because to the | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
legs. If that happened, it could topple over and we could see a | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
situation whereby it would have to be broken up. | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
Local people remain bewildered by the presence of the huge rig, but | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
some wonder if it be dismantled in situ to bring much-needed employment | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
to the islands. That would be a nice prospect. I | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
would love that one to happen. Just cut it on site, that would be work | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
for all these boys who have been paid off. | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
There is some speculation that the rig could be refloated on the next | :10:06. | :10:10. | |

has urged Kezia Dugdale and Scottish Labour to accept | :10:34. | :10:46. | |

Scotland's only Labour MP when he He was in Aberdeen, meeting figures | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
from the oil and gas sector today. Our political correspondent | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
Nick Eardley is there tonight. The battle for the Labour leadership | :11:01. | :11:15. | |
has been raging for weeks. Most publicly since the EU referendum, | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
but it is a battle that hasn't left Scotland unaffected. The Scotland | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
Labour leader Kathy Dugdale said she has as little support as Jeremy | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
Corbyn then she would have to stand down but her deputy has criticised | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
those who have hit out at Jeremy Corbyn. I have been talking to the | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
shadow Scottish secretary about the prospect of the party coming | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
together again after the leadership election. | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
Labour's shadow Scottish secretary. He doesn't represent a Scottish | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
seat. Today he was in Aberdeen as part of the job, finding out more | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
about the oil and gas sector. Some old friends and some new ones, | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
trying to see if there is a role we can play to try and help in what is | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
a very worrying situation. All smiles today, but the Labour | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
Party is deeply divided over which of these two men should be its | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
leader. Mr Anderson is backing Jeremy Corbyn, and so are bound to | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
thirds of the local parties in Scotland who have endorsed the | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
candidate. Around a third are backing his rival, the Welsh MP Owen | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
Smith. Scottish Labour's top team, leader Kezia Dugdake has questioned | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
how Mr Corbyn can stay on when so many MPs don't support him, but her | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
deputy has criticised those who try to oust Mr Corbyn. Mr Anderson is | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
clear that Kezia Dugdale and others must get behind Mr Corbyn if he wins | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
again. We will accept the result, except the membership and make this | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
work. This is way, way more important than any personality | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
conflicts. We should put it to one side. We're talking about the future | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
of the country. This former Scottish Labour leader | :13:07. | :13:15. | |
backs Owen Smith. What happens if their man is beaten by Mr Corbyn? It | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
will be difficult but that is the challenge of leadership. You have to | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
find a way to lead, you have to find a way to maintain the confidence of | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
your on the main confidence of your colleagues, and in this case the | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
Parliamentary party. For now, Labour continues to wrestle | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
with a message of unity. The 24-hour stoppages were due to | :13:34. | :13:49. | |
begin on Monday in a dispute between the RMT and Unite unions and oil | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
services over changes to pay and conditions. The RMT says fresh talks | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
are now due to take place next week. Dozens of operations | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
have been postponed at the Royal Alexandra Hospital | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
in Paisley, because of Staff are using bottled water | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
for all activities, including cleaning, | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
while the issue is addressed. Our reporter Laura Maxwell | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
is there for us tonight. So far 84 patients have had their | :14:11. | :14:24. | |
elective operations cancelled for today and tomorrow. We also know | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
that 999 patients and ambulances are being diverted to other hospitals in | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
the Greater Glasgow area. But it still means there are a lot of | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
existing patients here hospital. They are given being given bottled | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
water to drink, wash with an clean their teeth with and the staff are | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
using bottled water to cook and clean with. The health board says | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
this has been caused by a build-up of sedimentation in the internal | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
tanks at the hospital but same traction controls are in place and | :14:56. | :14:56. | |
the patients are safe. It's not dangerous but it is | :14:57. | :15:07. | |
unpleasant looking for patients and it is a gritty material within it. | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
So we, with Scottish water, have provided bottled water fall our | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
patients and we have or so got tankers to provide freshwater for | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
washing and cleaning. It has meant as a precaution we have cancelled | :15:23. | :15:24. | |
elective admissions. There have been a lot of complaints | :15:25. | :15:33. | |
recently in the local area about people's water supplies being brown. | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
There are bottled water supplies being delivered to some homes this | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
evening. For their part, Scottish water save the water supply into the | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
hospital are now running clear, but they are helping to flush through | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
the internal tanks in an effort to get things back to normal. They say | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
the discolouration is caused by naturally occurring mangoes, which | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
in small quantities is harmless. They say it is a problem in this | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
area at this time of year, but the They say it is a problem in this | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
situation is being constantly monitored and will get further | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
updates from the authorities in the morning. | :16:07. | :16:06. | |
Thank you. Councils and the Scottish Government | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
are on a collision Some councils are unhappy | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
about the way that plans to raise ?100 million for education | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
from changes to the The government wants to give | :16:18. | :16:18. | |
the money directly to head-teachers, but some councillors fear national | :16:19. | :16:39. | |
politicians are taking power away Senior councillors from across | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
Scotland held a special meeting today to discuss the | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
government's plans. There is a desire from politicians | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
of all parties to centralise control and if you do that, you end up with | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
one size fits all across all of Scotland. That doesn't work, one | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
size fits all in each school doesn't work, you have to tailor services to | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
suit the individual. I have no intention of taking control of | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
education away from local authorities in Scotland but I want | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
to focus on closing the attainment gap, making sure schools can support | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
young people to achieve their potential. One of the significant | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
things we achieved at the election was securing ?100 million to reform | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
the education system in Scotland and invest it in schools. | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
The RAC is warning that parking charges at two of Scotland's | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
The motoring organisation has rated Edinburgh and Aberdeen as among | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
the most expensive for dropping off and picking up passengers. | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
Airport authorities say travellers can choose from a range of options. | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
Welcome back. You've had a two weeks in the sun, now you get to enjoy the | :17:36. | :17:46. | |
rest of the Scottish summer. Never mind, you had a great time at a | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
bargain price, but are you going to be stung by the car parking charges | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
on the ground at the airport? That's the accusation from the RAC. They | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
produced a hit list of airports with what they called sky-high charges. | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
They are levied, even if you are just quickly dropping off of picking | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
up. Aberdeen airport is one of the culprits, and so is Edinburgh. | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
Edinburgh is in the top five for both dropped off and short-term | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
pick-up. We think it would be ideal for Edinburgh airport owners to | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
review the charges and fees, because it would be in their interests | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
ultimately. Edinburgh airport was celebrating today with figures | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
showing July was the busiest month on record for a Scottish airport. | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
Higher numbers require an effective travel plans. We have a free pick-up | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
area and do not have complaints. We have free buses going to those areas | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
with plenty of room for luggage. Like most airports, parking can be a | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
distance from the terminal and we tend to find passengers do not have | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
complaints. ?1 gets you five minutes to drop off friends at Edinburgh. | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
?3.90 allows you three minutes to pick them up. I've been here since | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
ten o'clock waiting for my son whose flight was delayed. Extortion, just | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
call it Dick Turpin. Dick Turpin airport would be better. ?1, but it | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
goes higher up the longer you stay. That's why I would like to leave | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
now. That might be the best compromise. | :19:20. | :19:27. | |
Some of Scotland's top football clubs are experimenting | :19:28. | :19:29. | |
with a different approach to youth development, in an attempt | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
Bio-banding involves bracketing young players according to physical | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
development instead of age - this at a time when the national | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
team has failed to reach a major tournament for 18 years. | :19:39. | :19:40. | |
At first glance, this is a youth tournament like any other, but there | :19:41. | :19:55. | |
is a crucial difference. To focus on developing technique, the teams are | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
groups not by age but by size, pioneering this approach are Partick | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
Thistle. All the other developers were trying to challenge them not to | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
rely on their physicality. They have to work on other technical | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
attributes, and likewise for the late developers, to give them an | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
opportunity to play against players who are at a similar stage of | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
development. The idea being that smaller players are not discouraged | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
or overlooked because they lack physical attributes. It's good, I'm | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
not playing against people wade taller than me. I get to get more on | :20:31. | :20:38. | |
the ball. I can take control of it a lot more. Allowing Scotland's young | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
talent to flourish is the goal. The science behind biobanding suggests | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
the greatest benefits comes from not using it at elite youth level, but | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
at the grass roots. If we got biobanding on board, and people | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
didn't get deselected because they hadn't physically matured at 12 or | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
13, they would engage more in football. They would get some fun | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
from the game, and we would get more opportunity with people going into | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
professional sport. Nobody believes biobanding will provide an overnight | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
cure for Scottish football's ills, but Partick Thistle and others will | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
try any avenue that offers a brighter future. | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
He's the photographer from Glasgow who went to America | :21:22. | :21:22. | |
with the Beatles in the sixties - and found himself documenting | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
some of the biggest stories of the century. | :21:26. | :21:27. | |
Now Harry Benson is back in Scotland for an exhibition | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
Our arts correspondent Pauline McLean went along to meet him. | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
This is in Miami. The Beatles came from the Ed Sullivan show... Harry | :21:38. | :21:46. | |
Benson arrived in America with the Beatles in 1964, but he wasn't | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
convinced it was the story for him. I wasn't that happy. I went back to | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
my car for something. Went back into the hall, the Beatles were starting | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
to play All My Loving and I thought, I'm on the right story! Throughout | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
the 60s he found himself at the heart of some of the biggest stories | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
in American politics, from the civil rights campaign to the assassination | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
of Robert Kennedy, a man he got to know as a friend. Don't fail now, | :22:15. | :22:23. | |
failed tomorrow. This is it. I noticed either the people had been | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
shot around me. You have taken pictures of every American president | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
since Eisenhower. And I know you have taken the candidates as well, | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in there. Will you take a photo of the | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
next president do you think? I think I've already got it. It will either | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
be Donald or Hillary Clinton. If they become president for one week, | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
it will make them. The opening of his latest exhibition at the | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
Scottish parliament, it was an interesting and daunting | :22:59. | :23:00. | |
proposition. He had this amazing knack of being in the right place at | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
the right time. To be there in the room when Nixon resigned following | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
Watergate, to be the fifth person off the plane on the tarmac in New | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
York from the Beatles' first visit to America. He's such a personable | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
man as well. That's reflected in his work. And he gets on with people. At | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
86 he continues to take photographs of some of the world's most famous | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
faces providing inspiration for would-be photographer is young and | :23:31. | :23:31. | |
old. We can go straight back to Rio and | :23:32. | :23:42. | |
the latest on David Florence's quest for a medal. These silver lining | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
around Rio today for Scottish athletes in Team GB continues. | :23:49. | :23:55. | |
Silver for Katherine Grainger in the rowing. Silver here for David | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
Florence in the last few minutes in the double canoe with Richard | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
Hounslow. A wonderful performance from them. It was a really good run, | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
they were going third last, so they not only executed their performance | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
superbly but when they got to the bottom they had a bit of a nervous | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
wait to find out if the two teams behind them would bump them out of | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
second position. The Slovak team were too good for anyone else, but | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
it was second place for Florence and Hounslow at the bottom of their run, | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
and they had a nervous wait to see if anybody would take that precious | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
silver medal away from them. That didn't happen, and for the second | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
consecutive Olympic Games, these two, England's Richard Hounslow and | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
Aberdeen's David Florence, he grew up in Edinburgh, superb from them, | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
the second time in consecutive Olympics they have silver medals, | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
silver in London and silver in Rio. What a day for Scottish athletes in | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
Rio, Katherine Grainger earlier, and David Florence today, alongside | :25:00. | :25:07. | |
Richard Hounslow. Wonder. It. Fiona Penney qualified second in the kayak | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
event. Could she upgrade silver to gold? All we need now is some good | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
weather for Scotland. It is coming! The pressure chart explains a lot. | :25:20. | :25:32. | |
Initially we have to get the weather front out of the way, this rain and | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
murky condition and Waugh air. When that clears away on Saturday we will | :25:38. | :25:46. | |
be looking at the high building. A fairly dreich picture across western | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
Scotland before that. Still a Met Office yellow warning for the North | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
West. Further east, a drier picture with brightness across Aberdeenshire | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
with rain confined to the north-west and Northern Isles tonight. Missed | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
and low cloud for the West Coast and hill fog as well. It will be a humid | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
night and quite breezy along the West Coast air in. Starting tomorrow | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
fairly cloudy, brightness in the east, rain across the Northern Isles | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
and the north. You can see it sink South as we head through the day. | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
For the likes of Dumfries Galloway and into Lanarkshire and the western | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
borders we will see some heavy deposits of rain. The rain is | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
lighter to the coast. Some rain around the Glasgow area but even | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
though temperatures are 17 it will still feel warm. Rain for the inner | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
Hebrides but getting brighter all the time. Hopefully brighter for | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
Caithness and becoming dry for the Northern Isles. Sunny spells | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
developing eventually for the north-east with highs of 20 Celsius | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
towards the eastern coast areas. The East coast generally holding onto | :26:57. | :26:58. | |
drier weather with some brighter spells. Still rain to content with | :26:59. | :27:08. | |
as we head to the Friday evening. Gradually sinking south with things | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
turning a lot drier with showers for the north-west. Looking at the | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
weekend, Saturday has showers in the north and west, mainly dry | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
elsewhere. Sunday, mainly dry and the good news is it will get warmer. | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
Now, a reminder of tonight's main news. | :27:26. | :27:27. | |
The Scottish rower, Katherine Grainger, has become | :27:28. | :27:28. | |
Britain's most decorated female Olympian, after winning silver | :27:29. | :27:30. | |
with her partner Victoria Thornley in the double sculls at Rio. | :27:31. | :27:37. | |
And in the last few minutes, David Florence has won silver in the canoe | :27:38. | :27:42. | |
competition. Bad weather is hampering a salvage | :27:43. | :27:44. | |
operation to refloat an oil rig which ran aground | :27:45. | :27:46. | |
on the Western Isles on Sunday. But coastguards say they don't | :27:47. | :27:49. | |
believe there's any major threat to the environment despite a leak | :27:50. | :27:51. | |
of tens of thousands I'll be back with the headlines | :27:52. | :27:53. | |
at 8, and the late bulletin just Until then, from everyone | :27:54. | :27:59. | |
on the team - right nothing says Rio de Janeiro | :28:00. | :28:05. | |
quite like it. So I've come here to Rio to explore | :28:06. | :28:06. | |
the culture and the people | :28:07. | :28:07. |
