The NSPCC calls for action from internet companies after a jump | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
in offences for possession of indecent images of children. | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
A hearing is told that a social worker assigned | :00:14. | :00:19. | |

More than 1900 offences of possessing indecent images | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
of children have been recorded by Police Scotland | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
The NSPCC, which obtained the figures, is calling on internet | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
companies to do more to tackle the problem and for greater | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
Our home affairs correspondent, Reevel Alderson reports. | :01:16. | :01:24. | |
These are the images of some of the paedophiles convicted recently of | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
possessing indecent images of children. Ph.D. Student James Hudson | :01:30. | :01:38. | |
was jailed last June for 18 months. Police IT worker Barry Rankin had | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
more than 300,000 indecent images on his computer and is serving five | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
years. Paedophile David Logan was placed on the six offenders register | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
for ten years at Dumbarton Sheriff Court. In the past three years | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
Police Scotland has recorded more than 1900 offences of possessing | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
indecent child images, that's well over the total for the Metropolitan | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
Police, the UK's largest force. Last year saw a 17% rise in offences in | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
Scotland compared to 2014. Police Scotland | :02:10. | :02:20. | |
says it's because they are taking a proactive approach to child pawn. | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
For the past three years Police Scotland have been committed to | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
keeping children safe and part of that key priority has been to tackle | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
the emerging national threat that we now recognise as being the threat of | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
online child sexual abuse. Because of that it is indicative of the | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
increase. Children's charities are calling on the digital industry to | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
commit significant expertise and resources to prevent the publication | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
and distribution of these images. We know that a lot of grooming and | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
sharing of images takes place via social media and we think there is a | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
lot more the industry could do to tackle this kind of offending via | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
their platforms. Boss of the harmful images children come across come via | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
social media and it's quite unregulated so we want the industry | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
to step up to do more to make sure they are protecting children as much | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
as they can be. Earlier this year police seized computers in a major | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
operation which led to 77 arrests and the recovery of 30 million | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
indecent images. The NSPCC which obtained today's figures through | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
freedom of information said they clearly show a growing problem of | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
people viewing child abuse material. Reevel Alderson, Reporting Scotland. | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
A conduct hearing has heard the social worker assigned | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
failed to take necessary steps to assess the risk he faced. | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
Child Protection team leader Karen Pedder has been giving | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
evidence to the Scottish Social Services Council in Dundee. | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
Karen Pedder was Lesley Bates's manager in the child protection team | :03:39. | :03:50. | |
in Fife and she said they had an extremely high caseload but that | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
Lesley Bates was no higher than anybody else. She acknowledged there | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
were internal divisions within their team but says she encouraged her | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
staff to act professionally and not be childish in how they dealt with | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
things. Lesley Bates had been assigned as a social worker to Liam | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
Fee. He was killed by his mother in March. Miss Bates faces several | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
charges involving 13 children including Liam. During the trial | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
Karen Pedder get us absurdly had dropped off the radar because his | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
social worker had gone off sick. Today Karen Pedder told the conduct | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
hearing at the Scottish social services council in Dundee she | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
believed Lesley Bates had not assessed the harm Liam Fee faced. | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
She said despite concerns she didn't have specific systems in place to | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
monitor Lesley Bates' work. She said she tended to keep lots of | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
information on her head speaking to staff at regular supervisory | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
meetings. She was asked why it was with vulnerable children at risk | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
nothing was being done to get them assessed. She said Bates was charged | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
with doing that. Lesley has chosen not to appear at the hearing and | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
faces being struck off the Joshua Wong register. The Serious Case | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
Review is being carried out into the failings of social services in Fife | :05:10. | :05:15. | |

A total of 1,000 Syrian refugees are now living in Scotland. | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
It follows the arrival of 120 more refugees last week. | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
John McManus reports from an Edinburgh community centre | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
where some of the new arrivals are being taught English. | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
This is the reality of life in Syria, a country which has now been | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
at war with itself for five years. GUNFIRE | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
There is no sign the various factions will lay down their arms | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
any time soon. For some of those who have escaped like these refugees | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
taking English classes today in Edinburgh, Scotland's generosity has | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
been a lifeline. Passing the 1000 person mark means | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
that Scotland has taken about a third of the entire UK total of | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
refugees from Syria in the last year. English lessons are just one | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
of the classes that refugees are offered at the welcoming centre. It | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
is a skill they will need to get their heads around to become | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
is a skill they will need to get proficient in if they want to make a | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
success of their time in Scotland. proficient in if they want to make a | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
But one of those who has come from Syria says he may not stay forever. | :06:24. | :06:31. | |
Maybe not now. When Syria will be good I will come back, yes. Because | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
my family is in Syria now. My sisters and my brother are in Syria | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
now. Syria is very nice, very good. He has worked in telecoms and sales, | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
skills that Scotland can use. But does the government think the new | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
arrivals will avoid a culture clash? It's important people from all | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
different faiths, backgrounds and nationalities can coexist. We have a | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
good record of that in Scotland. We can't be complacent. There is always | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
more work to do and that's where the Scottish Government invests heavily | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
in community and equality organisations. | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
Angela Constance won't put an upper limit on the number of refugees who | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
might arrive in the coming year. Syrians are now living in almost all | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
of the country's local authority areas. As the spanking letter to the | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
First Minister shows they are profoundly grateful for the safe | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
haven they have been offered. Perhaps inevitably, though, the | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
Scottish weather has left them puzzled. The weather is crazy. John | :07:34. | :07:40. | |

Scottish Secretary David Mundell has confirmed that a number of defence | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
sites in Scotland are likely to be sold off | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
as part of an MoD review of military bases. | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
Campaigners are concerned for the future of historic | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
Fort George near Inverness, currently home to the Black Watch. | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
There are also fears in Moray that the Kinloss barracks could | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
Our reporter Craig Anderson joins us now from Fort George. | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
What's the background to all of this? | :08:02. | :08:10. | |
Fort George is home to the Black Watch, the 3rd Battalion of the | :08:11. | :08:20. | |
Royal Regiment of Scotland. It was built after the Jacobite uprising in | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
1745. It's the oldest continuously used army base in the whole of the | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
UK. But history aside the Ministry of Defence is currently on a review | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
of the entire defence estate. Is looking to sell off land that it | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
of the entire defence estate. Is doesn't need and use some of that | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
money to increase the defence capability. It has already earmarked | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
22 different sites for sale and foreclosure, and it says it's | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
looking at all the other ones as well. -- for closure. In this letter | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
to the local MP Drew Hendry the Secretary of State for Scotland | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
David Mundell says the review is continuing, and he says that some | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
sites in Scotland are likely to go too. Iain Moody is engaged in a | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
widescale review of all of its premises across the United Kingdom. | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
It's not going to make any statement about any individual premises until | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
that review is complete. I don't think negative speculation is | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
particularly helpful because it's always easy to suggest that a | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
particular base is going to close, knowing that the MOD isn't going to | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
be able to deny that until the review is complete. So what happens | :09:41. | :09:51. | |
next? Well, one of the things the MOD says, or that David Mundell | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
says, is the future of the Black Watch itself is not under threat | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
because no cap badges are scheduled to go. It's merely the estate, the | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
actual properties that the MOD has. It says the review will be over by | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
the end of the year and we will know by then which bases are in and which | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
are out. But clearly campaigners have already got the bit between | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
their teeth. You may remember that just a few years ago RAF Kinloss was | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
converted from an air force base into a barracks for a unit of the | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
Royal Engineers with far fewer military personnel there are. And | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
only today the local MP there, Angus Robertson, has written to the Prime | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
Minister saying that must be retained and the promises made at | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
the time must be upheld by this government. So the fight for these | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
bases will go on. Craig, thank you. | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
A 29-year-old man has been charged in connection with an incident | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
in which a toddler fell from a flat window in South Lanarkshire. | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
Emergency services were called to Kirkwood Street, in Rutherglen, | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
The two-year-old boy was taken to Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth | :10:59. | :11:01. | |

The Scottish Labour leader has launched her alternative | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
programme for government - five days before the First Minister | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
lays out her plans for the new parliamentary year. | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
Kezia Dugdale says she's putting forward a "serious agenda | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
for change" with 13 proposed bills, including an education bill | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
to help close the attainment gap and a law to ban fracking. | :11:16. | :11:23. | |
The SNP say Labour's actual programme for government | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
was rejected by voters in May's election. | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
But Ms Dugdale insists she's focussing on what matters to people. | :11:29. | :11:37. | |
The SNP once again have announced they are going to have a campaign | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
for independence and I actually think Nicola Sturgeon should go back | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
to the Parliament next week and focusing on the bread-and-butter | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
issues affecting Scottish people, the quality of schools, NHS, the | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
care elderly people get, how to eradicate fuel policy Dunne poverty. | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
Those are just three of the programmes we have on our bill put | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
forward to the Parliament next week reflecting what Scottish people want | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
and moving away from the constitutional question. | :12:02. | :12:04. | |

It's more than two months since the European Union referendum. | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
And the focus now is very much on how and when Brexit will happen. | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
But the Electoral Reform Society has been looking back at the campaign | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
and today released a highly critical report saying there were "glaring | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
democratic deficiencies" with voters left ill-informed and disengaged. | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
I'm joined from Holyrood by our political correspondent Andrew Kerr. | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
It's a pretty damning critique of the Euro referendum, isn't it? | :12:50. | :12:59. | |
Yes, that's right. The electoral reform Society examining the | :13:00. | :13:07. | |
campaign up until June 23rd vote, they have been looking at the Leave | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
camp and the Remain camp and they'd tear into them. They say their | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
campaigns were ill informed, negative and dominated by big | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
political beasts on each side. So they say reforms should be put in | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
place in case there is another referendum, whenever that may be. To | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
that end they suggest allowing 16 and 17-year-olds the chance to vote | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
so people get engaged in the political process, as they did in | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
Scotland in 2014. They want a six-month campaign running up into | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
the referendum period. It was only four months for the EU referendum. | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
And they want an independent body to adjudicate on the claims and | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
counterclaims of each side, perhaps that might be a rather hard one to | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
instate. They do praise the Scottish referendum by contrast and say | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
Scotland became a hotbed of political spaces up-and-down the | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
country. The SNP have welcomed that, criticising the UK Government. But | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
speaking to Unionists today they say, hang on, don't get too carried | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
away. They claim the independence referendum was negative and | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
divisive, and they say they were glad to see the back of it. I | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
suppose at the end of the day one has to be realistic, pragmatic about | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
politics. It can be brutal and sometimes pretty miserable business. | :14:31. | :14:31. | |
Indeed it is. Andrew, thank you. A look now at other stories | :14:32. | :14:33. | |

A recurring theme in Scottish football since the turn | :16:37. | :16:38. | |
of the century has been that of financial disaster. | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
And in the second episode of the series "Scotland's Game" | :16:42. | :16:43. | |
tonight, we'll be reflecting on the mismanagement | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
which plunged some of our best-known clubs into crisis. | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
Undoubtedly, the most high profile of these was Rangers. | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
But the story of Gretna was perhaps the most bizarre. | :16:54. | :16:55. | |
Giving Gretna fans good reason to bang the drum was a swift shift from | :16:56. | :17:11. | |
non-league football to the senior ranks of the Scottish game in 2002. | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
Thanks to money from a self-made millionaire. I will put in | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
investment that's required here to meet our requirements and our | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
ambition. COMMENTATOR: This is the title it's | :17:26. | :17:33. | |
there! They've won the league. Three promotions in three years brought | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
Gretna a season no Scotland' top flight. In between, they were a | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
couple of kicks of the ball away from lifting the Scottish Cup. | :17:42. | :17:49. | |
COMMENTATOR: Skelton steps up. Hearts have won the Scottish Cup | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
2006. Gretna were in demise. A situation caused in part by the | :17:55. | :18:04. | |
owner's and subsequent death. It fell away so quickly. When Brookes | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
took unwell, he couldn't communicate. His wife said unless my | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
husband tells me a write a cheque for anything, it's stopping. It was | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
that quick. From that day, no other money came into the club. Following | :18:20. | :18:27. | |
a board meeting on Friday the club's being placed into administration. | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
The Gretna fairytale had become a nightmare. It was an ego-driven | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
fantasy that pointed forward to worse to come of people spending too | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
much money on football that they cannot afford to pay. Financial | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
mismanagement at Gretna is one thing. But later, it would happen at | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
much bigger clubs with far greater rapifications for Scottish football. | :18:51. | :18:52. | |
And the second episode of Scotland's Game will expand | :18:53. | :18:54. | |
on the financial turmoil at some of the country's biggest clubs | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
And wry Murray -- Andy Murray is playing in the US. Open, he's up | :18:58. | :19:15. | |
against Granollers. He's 4-2 up in the first set. He lost the four game | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
of the set. The second seed has reasserted control since. It is the | :19:23. | :19:23. | |
best of five sets. Derek Hawkins believes his brother | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
and fellow marathon runner Callum The pair both competed in Rio, | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
with Callum finishing ninth. The brothers are now targeting | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
a place at next year's World Championships | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
in London. But Tokyo 2020 is already in their | :19:36. | :19:37. | |
thoughts. The Hawkins' brothers made up two | :19:38. | :19:48. | |
thirds of the British Olympic marathon team. But they were to have | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
very different Rio experiences. Injury meant Derek was happy just to | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
take part. Younger brother Callum did rather better. | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
COMMENTATOR: Ninth position he crossed the line there. He can be | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
very proud of that. He has a lot of his career het left ahead of him. He | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
will finish higher than that. How much higher? Tough to say, the | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
marathon's unpredictable. I want to finish even higher than I did in | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
Rio, in Tokyo. That's my goals. Derek's goals are to get back to | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
full fitness and use next year's London Marathon to qualify for the | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
World Championships in the same city next August. | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
COMMENTATOR: He finished so strongly. Well done to him. His | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
hopes for Callum are even greater. Assuming he stays healthy and | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
injury-free, he can improve on his ninth place. John Brown finished | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
fourth in two Olympics, British guy. His personal best was 2: 9. Callum's | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
is 2: 10. I think he can get into that ballpark. If things went right | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
on the day, there's an outside chance of a medal. | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
COMMENTATOR: Callum Hawkins of Great Britain in the front of the men's | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
Olympic marathon. Callum Hawkins's rice to prominence has been swift. | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
From his first marathon less than a year ago to a top ten in Rio. If | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
that progress continues, he could yet be the first Brit to win a | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
marathon medal since 1994. The quota of international players | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
in the British Elite Ice Hockey league has risen again | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
for the new season. Scotland's four teams have all met | :21:30. | :21:31. | |
the full import numbers. But it means Scottish players | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
are being squeezed out. Preparations are well underway for | :21:35. | :21:49. | |
the new season. That means the arrival of signings from overseas. | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
The import player numbers are up again this year to 14. That may | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
raise the bar for sport here in the UK, it's not all good news for | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
will make the cut at the top level. will make the cut at the top level. | :22:02. | :22:11. | |
. And for Fife Fliers in Kirkcaldy, it's no different. Giving kids hope | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
to play in this league is becoming a difficult thing for them to believe | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
or buy into. They're not seeing the chances. They're not getting the ice | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
time and games which they need to develop. When I put a British kid on | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
the ice or a Scottish local kid out on the ice, they get louder and | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
they're rooting for 'em. But that's a lot farther in between. Fife | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
aren't the only up withes facing this dilemma. Not all are happy | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
about the number creeping up once more. I'm disappointed we keep | :22:47. | :22:54. | |
increasing the import levels. I've calm through the junior development | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
system in the UK. Made it to the top level of the game. Our ethos as a | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
clip, you want to see more kids come through development system. What | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
about the young players' themselves? Not only do they have to earn a | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
player in the side but they have to keep it. I managed to do it. Not | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
smoothly but it was still a big jump. Some of these guys coming | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
across, it's prettyity scary playing with these guys. I watch them, | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
especially the defenders. Pick bits of their games up, try to copy them. | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
These guys know what they're doing. Fancy doing a loop-the-loop | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
in a vintage fighter plane? We've sent our reporter | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
Laura Maxwell to Ayrshire, where final preparations for | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
the Scottish International Airshow are underway, to take a spin in one | :23:39. | :23:40. | |
of the display aircraft. It's not every day I need a harness, | :23:41. | :23:53. | |
parachute and full safety briefing when I go to the office. But then | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
it's not every day I deb flying in one of these. It's a 1966 Nanchang. | :23:58. | :24:09. | |
Built by the Chinese people's Liberation Army. It is Lawrence's | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
plane. He is one of the pilots who will put on a display at the | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
airshow. It's a wonderful pleasure to fly. A wonderful thing to be able | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
to share with other people. Let them see the aeroplanes we have the | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
pleasure to fly. Let them enjoy it. I hope they do enjoy the aeroplanes. | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
When I went up, I wasn't just quite so sure! Argh! Oh, my goodness, I | :24:32. | :24:44. | |
feel like I'm going at 100m ph! No, you're going about 200m ph. There | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
were trips to Prestwick to see the airshow as a boy which sparked | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
Lawrence's love of all things aviation. I didn't know any pilots | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
where I was brought up. Being at Prestwick, seeing the pilots, | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
talking to them, watching the aeroplanes, it gave me a treatment, | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
really. I was fortunate to eventually get there after many | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
years of pursuing the dream. It's hoped the display he and others put | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
on this weekend will help to inspire the next generation. We want to | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
leave a legacy at Prestwick airport. We're running a week of stem, | :25:20. | :25:27. | |
science, technology and mast. To launch the Lawrence's of the future. | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
It's certain theless unusual ride in an aeroplane I've ever had! | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
Maintainer her composure, just about! Not great weather for flying | :25:42. | :25:50. | |
though, is it? Up and down and same over the next few days. Autumn | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
started on a decent note with brightness and some sunshine too. | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
During the day, it's been a going downhill type of day with most of us | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
seeing some cloud and outbreaks of rain. Certainly that theme continues | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
this evening. Heavy pulses of rain through Dumfries and the borders for | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
a time. During tonight, that rain clears into the North Sea. Behind | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
it, largely dry conditions with some clears into the North Sea. Behind | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
clear spells. Just a few showers across the north-west primarily | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
being pushed in on south-westerly winds. Not a cold night to come. | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
Temperatures generally around 12-14 Celsius. Something just that bit | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
chillier for some shellered rural areas. Tomorrow, a mixture of | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
sunshine and showers. The showers primarily across the north and | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
north-west. Fairly frequent and, at times, heavy showers here. Fewer | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
showers to come over central, southern and eastern areas with more | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
in the way of sunshine here. Indeed, in the sunshine tomorrow afternoon | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
here, temperatures will peak around 18 or 19 Celsius. Not feeling too | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
bad at all. Across much of the north however, we'll continue to see | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
shower tomorrow afternoon. Perhaps the odd rumble of thunder and a | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
fairly fresh feel again with highs of 16 or 17 Celsius. Towards | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
evening, that sunshine and showers theme continues. The showers again | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
heavy and fairly frequent across the north and north-west. Especially. | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
Into Saturday. Open to a degree of doubt at this stage. We've various | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
frontal systems sitting in the western Atlantic. Tropical air in | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
the mix too. Some heavy rain expected at this stage it looks like | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
that rain will primarily affect end land and Wales. In Scotland, another | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
day of bright spells, some sunshine and also some showers and highs of | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
18 or 19 Celsius. We may just see a longer spell of rain pushing into | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
the south later. For Sunday, again, low pressure in charge. Sunshine and | :27:46. | :27:48. | |
some showers. That's the forecast. Graham. | :27:49. | :27:50. | |
Now, a reminder of tonight's main news: | :27:51. | :27:52. | |
More than 1,900 offences of possessing indecent images | :27:53. | :27:55. | |
of children have been recorded by Police Scotland | :27:56. | :27:57. | |
I'll be back with the headlines at 8pm and the late bulletin just | :27:58. | :28:06. | |
Until then, from everyone on the team, right across the country, | :28:07. | :28:10. |
