:00:50. > :01:03.It's just eight miles from Ferguslie Park in Paisley

:01:04. > :01:06.to the Whitecraigs area south of Glasgow, in East Renfrewshire.

:01:07. > :01:13.Ferguslie Park is officially the most deprived area in Scotland,

:01:14. > :01:15.while Whitecraigs is at the other end of the scale -

:01:16. > :01:19.The Government figures published today reveal a complex picture

:01:20. > :01:28.Our social affairs correspondent, Reevel Alderson is here to explain.

:01:29. > :01:30.The first question to ask is, what is deprivation?

:01:31. > :01:32.It's more than just being poor or on a low income.

:01:33. > :01:34.The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation looks

:01:35. > :01:39.There are the obvious ones like income, employment

:01:40. > :01:41.and education, including the number of people going onto

:01:42. > :01:44.But it also examines health, housing, including the number

:01:45. > :01:47.of homes with central heating, crime levels and access to services

:01:48. > :01:49.such as post offices and transport links.

:01:50. > :01:50.For the second successive time, Ferguslie Park officially

:01:51. > :01:53.has the greatest level of deprivation in Scotland.

:01:54. > :01:54.It is second worst in Scotland for health outcomes

:01:55. > :01:59.And the area is sixth worst for income and employment levels.

:02:00. > :02:20.It's something the local council is already trying to address.

:02:21. > :02:28.It is one of 50 projcts operated by the council to tackle deprivation.

:02:29. > :02:33.Children get the best start in live life and their mothers can access

:02:34. > :02:43.financial housing and benefits advice. I have help from every

:02:44. > :02:50.aspect, talking about tax, benefit, talking about work. I used to think

:02:51. > :02:56.thing things, they don't work, and for people on benefits. It is no, it

:02:57. > :02:59.is to get people out. 240 families have received support from the

:03:00. > :03:06.scheme, organisers say it is successful because it is local. I

:03:07. > :03:10.think the local focus is key, services that are Renfrewshire wide,

:03:11. > :03:17.people for some reason don't access them. With the school at the centre

:03:18. > :03:20.means people access financial advice, housing advice, employment

:03:21. > :03:26.advice as well as their positive experiences for the children. This

:03:27. > :03:31.is part of a six million poverty fund. Too late to influence these

:03:32. > :03:37.years figures but it believes a significant attempt.

:03:38. > :03:39.This is not ever going to be an overnight

:03:40. > :03:43.It's in Ferguslie Park and other parts of Scotland.

:03:44. > :03:45.This investment is for the long-term.

:03:46. > :03:47.It's from the early years, the youngest in our

:03:48. > :03:50.It's about providing support for families.

:03:51. > :03:51.Deprivation is measured by seven different

:03:52. > :03:54.Ferguslie Park is second worst in Scotland

:03:55. > :04:02.Its sixth worst for income and employment levels.

:04:03. > :04:03.These figures come as research shows that

:04:04. > :04:05.people in deprived backgrounds pay more for services and utilities.

:04:06. > :04:12.It is important we have a inclusive growth so we pay attention the thing

:04:13. > :04:16.that all things being equal don't benefit from expansion in the

:04:17. > :04:20.economy and make concerted efforts to tackle the barriers of those

:04:21. > :04:23.places face. The index is published as research

:04:24. > :04:27.shows people from deprived backgrounds are paying a premium for

:04:28. > :04:33.being poor, with utilities and services costing them more. We found

:04:34. > :04:39.the premium exacerbates the effects felt by people living at or near the

:04:40. > :04:42.poverty line, there is big instances of cutting back on expenditure and

:04:43. > :04:48.food worryingly. There are plans to boost employment

:04:49. > :04:51.in Ferguslie Park with a new sports complex and Paisley's bid for City

:04:52. > :04:53.of Culture status. This measure of deprivation,

:04:54. > :04:55.last published four years ago, will be used by Government and local

:04:56. > :04:58.authorities to target resources Ministers admit they show tackling

:04:59. > :05:16.deprivation is "a significant The Prime Minister has been meeting

:05:17. > :05:20.the cab not at her official retreat. A statement after the meeting says

:05:21. > :05:24.while there is a commitment to the devolved nations to make sure Brexit

:05:25. > :05:27.works for all the timetable in terms of triggering Article 50 are up to

:05:28. > :05:33.the UK Government. Our political correspondent is at Chequers.

:05:34. > :05:35.If the Cabinet reached any firm conclusions on what form Brexit

:05:36. > :05:40.should take they are not giving much away, after meeting of the political

:05:41. > :05:45.cabinet this afternoon, Downing Street did confirm the desire to

:05:46. > :05:50.push ahead with the exit process, and it seems that Theresa May is

:05:51. > :05:54.looking for a bespoke deal for Britain, rather than some kind of

:05:55. > :05:58.off the shelf solution. What does this all mean for Scotland and the

:05:59. > :06:03.other devolved nations? A apparently ministers spent some time discussing

:06:04. > :06:08.the Prime Minister's commitment to make Brexit work for all, there is

:06:09. > :06:13.also clearly an emphasis though on the fact that the UK will take

:06:14. > :06:16.decisions about what form the negotiations will take, and they

:06:17. > :06:21.seem to be ruling out any kind of veto for Scotland and the other

:06:22. > :06:27.devolved nations on the timing of when that process begins. It will

:06:28. > :06:32.only begin though, when ministers agree what the future relationship

:06:33. > :06:34.between the EU and the UK they want will look like.

:06:35. > :06:38.The first advanced warship to be built in Glasgow in almost five

:06:39. > :06:41.It's been hailed as a rebirth of Clyde shipbuilding,

:06:42. > :06:43.but unions say there's still uncertainty about

:06:44. > :06:59.Here is the Clyde. And here is the Forth. The Navy's newest patrol

:07:00. > :07:02.vessel and the first advanced warship built on the river in almost

:07:03. > :07:06.five year, the project has been hailed as a return to traditional

:07:07. > :07:12.Glasgow shipbuilding but using modern and cost cutting technology.

:07:13. > :07:17.This is the first of three offshore patrol vessels being built on the

:07:18. > :07:20.Clyde for the Royal Navy and with negotiations on going to potentially

:07:21. > :07:24.build two more, management say the future is bright.

:07:25. > :07:30.Eight of these type 26 frigates are also due to be built on the Clyde,

:07:31. > :07:34.but the order has been delayed by the UK Government, while it seeks to

:07:35. > :07:39.reduce costs. Unions want that work to start as

:07:40. > :07:43.soon as possible, to avoid skilled workers having to transfer to other

:07:44. > :07:49.UK shipyards. What we really need is the type 26 programme to start

:07:50. > :07:53.earlier than the dates that were speculated on which was late 2017

:07:54. > :07:58.early 18. We need to get the manufacturing phase of that starting

:07:59. > :08:02.earlier so we can use the workforce we have on the Clyde. However, the

:08:03. > :08:07.shipyard operators say the work that is going on at the moment, lays the

:08:08. > :08:12.ground for future success. The offshore patrol vessels are a great

:08:13. > :08:16.example of us building up the capability in shipbuilding. It's a

:08:17. > :08:20.great path into type 26, these vessels are helping us own that

:08:21. > :08:24.capability and make us, you know, puts us in a good position for when

:08:25. > :08:29.we start that programme. The patrol vessel programme is due

:08:30. > :08:34.to last until autumn 2018. But then it is hoped new contracts will be in

:08:35. > :08:39.place, to secure the future of this Clyde workforce.

:08:40. > :08:41.And we can go now to our business and economy

:08:42. > :08:49.We can see the vessel behind you it is an impressive piece of work but

:08:50. > :08:56.the suggestion seems to be that the vessels like these are being used to

:08:57. > :09:01.keep the Clyde in business. Yes, for the Royal Navy these are nice to

:09:02. > :09:05.have but they are strategically not the reel deal. They might help in BA

:09:06. > :09:08.have but they are strategically not systems winning e port orders

:09:09. > :09:12.because they are less complex than the ships usually built on the Clyde

:09:13. > :09:19.for the Royal Navy and the Navy alone. It is to plug a gap in order,

:09:20. > :09:23.so the type 26 frigate, eight of them to be built on the Clyde, but

:09:24. > :09:27.the deal has not been signed off between the Ministry of Defence and

:09:28. > :09:32.BAE Systems. It is already, it is more than a year behind schedule,

:09:33. > :09:37.and they are to replace the type 23 frigate. We are now told by a

:09:38. > :09:41.Conservative peer speaking in the House of Lords just a few weeks ago,

:09:42. > :09:44.that the type 23 is to be refitted, we are not told how much that is

:09:45. > :09:50.going to cost, how long it will take, but that is connected, both

:09:51. > :09:54.with a capability gap also for the Royal Navy, and a need to keep work

:09:55. > :09:59.going in Britain's shipyards. What is the view on what needs to happen

:10:00. > :10:05.to give the industry here a sustainable future? Well, there is

:10:06. > :10:10.about 2300 people based working on these Clyde yards. They need to keep

:10:11. > :10:14.busy, the yards need to keep work going, there needs to be a drum beat

:10:15. > :10:18.of work. Some of them are commuting to Ross sit where they are

:10:19. > :10:23.completing the work on the aircraft carrier. Some are going to Cumbria

:10:24. > :10:28.to work on submarine, but they need, the unions say an order that will

:10:29. > :10:32.take up these offshore patrol vessels, as that work winds down,

:10:33. > :10:37.they need the work to come through, they need it next year rather than

:10:38. > :10:41.the likely date of late next year or into 2018. Now there are, there were

:10:42. > :10:46.originally supposed to be 13 ships built. They are looking at eight

:10:47. > :10:49.frigates and five less complex ships. Not clear where they are

:10:50. > :10:53.going to be built. We are hoping this year to, at the end of this

:10:54. > :10:56.year to get the outcome of a national shipbuilding strategy. What

:10:57. > :11:02.is this and what difference will it make? Well, yes, we thought we had

:11:03. > :11:06.the strategy sorted out with the closure of the Portsmouth shipyard

:11:07. > :11:10.leaving these yards as the only place where complex ships were to be

:11:11. > :11:13.built for the Royal Navy. In the budget earlier this year, George

:11:14. > :11:18.Osborne, then the Chancellor announced there would be a strategic

:11:19. > :11:25.review of shipbuilding under an industry veteran, Sir John Parker,

:11:26. > :11:28.he has been asked to look at it on a regular footing, value for money,

:11:29. > :11:32.maintaining jobs and skills in Britain as well. We thought we had

:11:33. > :11:36.that already agreed but he is looking a it again. It may be he

:11:37. > :11:40.wants to increase the capacity of the shipbuilding in Britain, perhaps

:11:41. > :11:43.for merchant shipping, we will find out, we hope, later this year.

:11:44. > :11:46.Did you know Scotland now has an international council

:11:47. > :11:48.They've been having their first meeting.

:11:49. > :11:50.It's part of the Government's drive to reduce the so-called

:11:51. > :11:53.attainment gap in schools, where children from low-income

:11:54. > :11:54.households do significantly worse at school than those

:11:55. > :11:58.The experts gathered with the First Minister at a primary

:11:59. > :12:00.school in East Lothian, from where our political

:12:01. > :12:14.It is a challenge for the kids at this primary school. The daily mile

:12:15. > :12:20.races their fitness levels P -- raises. Setting a challenge of our

:12:21. > :12:24.own the First Minister wants to improve Scotland's education. Aided

:12:25. > :12:30.by advisers from across the world, she wants to close the attainment

:12:31. > :12:33.gap. Schools should be places where we support children to overcomedies

:12:34. > :12:40.advantage, and that makes it all the more important we focus on what

:12:41. > :12:44.schools can do, to help young people overcome any disadvantage they come

:12:45. > :12:48.across and that is why we are putting emphasis on the attainment

:12:49. > :12:53.gap and how to close it. It is a modern school, far cry from the

:12:54. > :12:58.Victorian classrooms in perhaps many of which were educated. During those

:12:59. > :13:02.time Scotland's education system was top of the class: So to improve the

:13:03. > :13:08.system, excellence and equity are said to be the guiding principles,

:13:09. > :13:13.in these reforms. One adviser from Boston n the US, says they don't

:13:14. > :13:18.want to close the attainment gap by meeting in the middle but by

:13:19. > :13:22.reaching for the top. If you give attention to everybody the range in

:13:23. > :13:26.a class narrow, it becomes easier to teach the kids to engain them,

:13:27. > :13:29.because you are not distracted with behavioural problems with kids who

:13:30. > :13:32.are finding the learning too difficult and so on. The

:13:33. > :13:36.Conservatives say the Scottish Government must take note of what

:13:37. > :13:41.the advisers actually say. Labour are more critical. I would be very

:13:42. > :13:45.concerned if the meetings with international advisers were similar

:13:46. > :13:50.Mr A smoke screen to hide the fact that the SNP have cut education

:13:51. > :13:53.budgets every single year, that we have over 4,000 fewer teachers in

:13:54. > :14:00.our school, that teacher training funding has been cut.

:14:01. > :14:03.There is a lot of hard work ahead. Involving these advisers means the

:14:04. > :14:08.First Minister is looking for an A for effort.

:14:09. > :14:11.A senior social worker has told a hearing that a child protection

:14:12. > :14:14.team which dealt with the murdered toddler Liam Fee was

:14:15. > :14:17.The hearing is investigating the conduct of Lesley Bate, who faces

:14:18. > :14:19.charges involving 16 children, including Liam.

:14:20. > :14:21.She was a member of the team in Fife.

:14:22. > :14:31.Andrew Anderson reports from the hearing.

:14:32. > :14:38.Sharon worked with her in 2013. They were social worker with the Child

:14:39. > :14:42.Protection Team based in Glenrothesful. She said Miss Bates

:14:43. > :14:46.that were given task that were not done or there was no record they had

:14:47. > :14:49.been done. In one case she said she had left a child in a vulnerable

:14:50. > :14:54.position. Leslie bathes and the team were

:14:55. > :15:00.involved in the case of Liam Fee. It is alleged Miss Bates failed to take

:15:01. > :15:05.the steps to protect him from harm and 15 other children between

:15:06. > :15:09.December 2011 and August 2014. Sharon Bar told the hearing there

:15:10. > :15:13.was a split in the Child Protection Team in Glenrothes. There were

:15:14. > :15:17.personality clashes and it was divided into two camps. Some staff

:15:18. > :15:21.wouldn't speak to others unless they had to. She agreed that had an

:15:22. > :15:26.effect on two case, although neither was that of Liam Fee. Liam's mother

:15:27. > :15:31.and partner were jailed for his murder, concerns had been raised

:15:32. > :15:35.with social work for his safety but their trial heard Liam had fallen

:15:36. > :15:40.off the radar. That evidence came from the leader of the Child

:15:41. > :15:44.Protection Team Karen Pedder. She is due to give evidence tomorrow.

:15:45. > :15:47.Lesley bait is not attending this hearing and she has given up her

:15:48. > :15:48.social work registration, she does not admit to any of the charges

:15:49. > :15:54.against her. You're watching BBC

:15:55. > :15:56.Reporting Scotland. Ferguslie Park in Paisley is named

:15:57. > :15:59.as most deprived place in Scotland as new figures identify

:16:00. > :16:16.the country's haves and have nots. And we look at the comings and

:16:17. > :16:16.goings as the football transfer deadline looms.

:16:17. > :16:19.The issue of whether or not to resuscitate seriously ill

:16:20. > :16:24.Now the Scottish Government has updated its policy on how

:16:25. > :16:29.to deal with this difficult area of medicine.

:16:30. > :16:31.It emphasises the importance of talking to patients

:16:32. > :16:33.and their families about the potential consequences

:16:34. > :16:37.of reviving someone towards the end of their life.

:16:38. > :16:39.The new guidelines have been welcomed by one doctor whose husband

:16:40. > :16:53.It does not mean people are not going to be treated, it very much

:16:54. > :16:56.means they will be resuscitated if appropriate, they will be

:16:57. > :17:00.investigated and treated and diagnose. Most importantly, they

:17:01. > :17:01.will be treated as individuals and with dignity.

:17:02. > :17:05.MSPs who work for ministers are no longer going to be allowed

:17:06. > :17:08.to sit on parliamentary committees that review their bosses' work.

:17:09. > :17:11.The Ministerial Code of Conduct is to be changed after opposition

:17:12. > :17:12.parties complained it undermines scrutiny.

:17:13. > :17:19.Our political correspondent Nick Eardley is with me now.

:17:20. > :17:28.Is it a U-turn by the Scottish Government? It is a change of heart.

:17:29. > :17:32.A number of MSPs who worked closely with ministers are on the committee

:17:33. > :17:37.relevant to the minister's portfolio. The Education Secretary

:17:38. > :17:45.John Swinney's aid is on the education committee and critics ask

:17:46. > :17:49.whether someone so close to a minister can scrutinise their

:17:50. > :17:52.policies activity level. They say because Holyrood does not have a

:17:53. > :17:58.revising chamber like the House of Lords at Westminster, it is

:17:59. > :18:05.essential they question as robust Lee as possible. Margaret Mitchell

:18:06. > :18:09.welcomed the announcement. It is a victory for common-sense and a move

:18:10. > :18:16.that is welcome. It was not acceptable that people promoted and

:18:17. > :18:22.appointed as Parliamentary liaison officers to a particular ministers

:18:23. > :18:28.should then be a committee member of that minister's portfolio. There was

:18:29. > :18:32.a conflict of interest. What is the Scottish Government saying? Nicola

:18:33. > :18:36.Sturgeon announced the code would be revised so it does not happen any

:18:37. > :18:42.more. When initial concerns were raised the Scottish Government said

:18:43. > :18:46.there was not a reason that aid could not effectively scrutinise.

:18:47. > :18:49.The First Minister said there is no evidence of any conflict of

:18:50. > :18:54.interest. The rules are changing and evidence of any conflict of

:18:55. > :18:57.those currently on committees will be removed soon.

:18:58. > :18:59.The airline Jet2 has announced a recruitment drive

:19:00. > :19:01.as it expands services, including 160 new jobs based

:19:02. > :19:06.A total of 1,000 new flight and ground crew

:19:07. > :19:08.jobs are being created for its eight UK bases.

:19:09. > :19:12.The leisure airline flies 220 routes with 63 aircraft.

:19:13. > :19:14.It's investing in 30 new planes for delivery over

:19:15. > :19:25.A change in the traffic light sequence to ease congestion at one

:19:26. > :19:27.of the Highland capital's busiest roundabouts has failed to please

:19:28. > :19:32.Traffic jams have continued to build up at the busy Longman

:19:33. > :19:34.roundabout, in spite of a recent re-tuning of the lights.

:19:35. > :19:37.Bear Scotland, who manage the route on behalf of Transport Scotland,

:19:38. > :19:40.said it was early in the trial process and urged

:19:41. > :19:49.But the roads agency is being urged to take another look at the lights.

:19:50. > :19:51.Andy Murray will play Spain's Marcel Granollers

:19:52. > :19:54.in the second round of the US Open tennis.

:19:55. > :19:56.The Scot won his first round match at Flushing Meadows

:19:57. > :20:00.against Lukas Rosol of the Czech Republic last night.

:20:01. > :20:03.The second seed is looking to add the US title to his recent successes

:20:04. > :20:17.Andy Murray began his US Open campaign as the form player on the

:20:18. > :20:23.circuit. The Olympic champion aims for further glory at Flushing

:20:24. > :20:27.Meadows. With Ivan Lendl back in his corner for the first time since

:20:28. > :20:32.Wimbledon, much is expected of him over the next fortnight. World

:20:33. > :20:36.number 81 Lukas Rosol was the first obstacle. It became clear Andy

:20:37. > :20:42.Murray would not stumble as he took the first set with minimum fuss. His

:20:43. > :20:50.athleticism and shotmaking helped him race towards a second set. And a

:20:51. > :20:55.final booming serve wrapped up the third set and the match. First and

:20:56. > :21:01.second serve were good tonight and that is something I have worked on a

:21:02. > :21:08.lot. It was good, through the grass at Wimbledon, and was important for

:21:09. > :21:12.me. Especially in the final and the semis, not really giving up too many

:21:13. > :21:18.chances. That ruthlessness will be required more and more as the

:21:19. > :21:20.tournament progresses. Next up, Marcel Granollers, the Spaniard.

:21:21. > :21:22.It's transfer deadline day in the football world,

:21:23. > :21:25.and there are just over five hours left until the window shuts.

:21:26. > :21:27.Our reporter John Barnes has been following developments,

:21:28. > :21:32.I see over ?1 billion has been spent by clubs in England on fees.

:21:33. > :21:38.I believe it's considerably less up here, John.

:21:39. > :21:40.It sure is Jackie and by a long long way.

:21:41. > :21:44.Not too much being spent by Scottish clubs by way of fees.

:21:45. > :21:46.Rangers have signed the former Arsenal defender Philippe Senderos

:21:47. > :21:55.The Swiss international, who was a free agent, has been

:21:56. > :21:57.training with the Ibrox club recently and his signing

:21:58. > :21:59.will complete their business for this transfer window.

:22:00. > :22:01.Talks are continuing between Celtic and the Italian club Torino over

:22:02. > :22:04.the transfer of defender Jozo Simunovic.

:22:05. > :22:07.The Croatian's time at Parkhead has been hampered by injury

:22:08. > :22:10.and he hasn't played since the end of January.

:22:11. > :22:13.It looks as though Torino want to take him on loan

:22:14. > :22:15.but Celtic would prefer him to move permanently.

:22:16. > :22:20.Meanwhile Charlie Mulgrew's contract with Celtic expired in the summer

:22:21. > :22:22.and he's joined the English championship club Blackburn Rovers

:22:23. > :22:28.Elsewhere the Hearts striker Juanma has joined the Spanish side Murcia

:22:29. > :22:32.Inverness have signed the former St Johnstone and Hearts defender

:22:33. > :22:38.St Johnstone themselves have signed striker Joe Gormley on loan from

:22:39. > :22:45.Mathias Pogba is leaving Partick Thistle.

:22:46. > :22:50.The brother of Manchester United's world-record signing Paul

:22:51. > :22:57.who had his contract cancelled by mutual consent.

:22:58. > :23:00.Meanwhile Scotland international and Norwich striker

:23:01. > :23:02.Steven Naismith has been linked with a move to Sunderland.

:23:03. > :23:04.Naismith trained with the Scotland squad this afternoon

:23:05. > :23:06.as they prepared for Sunday's World Cup

:23:07. > :23:09.Already two other players have left the squad temporarily

:23:10. > :23:14.Chris Martin looks to be leaving Derby for Fulham while Ikechi

:23:15. > :23:18.Anya looks like moving to Derby from Watford.

:23:19. > :23:23.Well, one Scotland football international made his big money

:23:24. > :23:28.The teenager Oliver Burke left the English Championship for the top

:23:29. > :23:34.The fee was a new record for a Scottish player.

:23:35. > :23:36.Now he's vying for a starting place for his country.

:23:37. > :23:49.This is not just any Scottish footballer, it is the most expensive

:23:50. > :23:55.one. Sold by Nottingham Forest to Leipzig in Germany for ?30 million.

:23:56. > :23:59.The price tag aside, what is so special about Oliver Burke? The

:24:00. > :24:07.first day I saw him here, he blew me away. I was so excited by him. He is

:24:08. > :24:15.a young player making his way, so he has a long way to go but he has a

:24:16. > :24:21.tremendous amount to learn and develop as an international player.

:24:22. > :24:25.He has started just 13 games for Nottingham Forest but has won two

:24:26. > :24:33.caps for the national team in friendlies and he has been compared

:24:34. > :24:37.with one of the game's superstars. Gareth Bale for Wales. He is very

:24:38. > :24:43.much like Gareth Bale. I do not want to build him up to be Gareth Bale,

:24:44. > :24:50.he is his own man. But from what I have seen, his ability, the sky is

:24:51. > :24:54.the limit. It is all about his mentality and staying grounded and

:24:55. > :25:01.working hard. Gareth Bale helped Wales to the semifinals of the Euros

:25:02. > :25:05.2016. The Madrid player one of the world's best and being compared to

:25:06. > :25:10.him is praise indeed. Hang on, Oliver Burke might not even play

:25:11. > :25:16.against Malta on Sunday. Certainly in half a dozen positions two and in

:25:17. > :25:18.some cases three players who could be in those positions. He might well

:25:19. > :25:30.be the new Gareth Bale, but not yet. The last day of summer. What a

:25:31. > :25:34.summer it was. It has been a mixed bag. Good

:25:35. > :25:40.evening, the weather has not been too unkind today with a mixture of

:25:41. > :25:44.sunshine and showers. This evening, the showers will become increasingly

:25:45. > :25:50.confined to the north-west and far north, otherwise a dry end to the

:25:51. > :25:55.day for most of us with spells of brightness. A dry night will follow

:25:56. > :26:00.and there will be clear spells around with showers continuing

:26:01. > :26:07.across the far north. Brisk wind across the far north. Enough breeze

:26:08. > :26:13.to prevent the temperature falling away too far. Tomorrow, it dawns on

:26:14. > :26:19.a dry note with just one or two showers in the door. Brightness for

:26:20. > :26:24.a time, but cloud will increase, followed by outbreaks of rain, which

:26:25. > :26:30.will be accompanied by strengthening winds on western coastal areas,

:26:31. > :26:35.gradually moving east through the day will stop tomorrow afternoon,

:26:36. > :26:40.across the western Isles, much of the north-west Highlands, far North,

:26:41. > :26:46.Orkney and Argyll, persistent outbreaks of rain and breezy with

:26:47. > :26:50.risk south-westerly winds. Shetland and eastern coastal areas will hold

:26:51. > :26:57.onto something drier and possibly brighter tomorrow afternoon, lifting

:26:58. > :27:03.temperatures to 18 at best. Otherwise cloudy with light and

:27:04. > :27:08.patchy rain and temperatures around 15-17. Tomorrow evening, rain

:27:09. > :27:14.tracking eastwards. As we go through tomorrow night, it should clear into

:27:15. > :27:19.the North Sea and by Friday, we return to a mixture of bright or

:27:20. > :27:24.sunny spells and also showers, fairly heavy and frequent in the

:27:25. > :27:27.north-west, especially with the odd rumble of thunder, perhaps,

:27:28. > :27:29.otherwise try and bright weather with spells of sunshine.

:27:30. > :27:44.That is the campaign, he would appear to

:27:45. > :27:50.Mexicans as having committed almost the cardinal sin of
