and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
A threefold rise in children being trafficked into Scotland. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
They're being forced to work on cannabis farms, in the sex | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
TRANSLATION: A person brought a gun to threaten me. He asked me to stay | :00:13. | :00:29. | |
inside, not make any noise. If someone hears me inside, they would | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
kill me. who've been trafficked, | :00:32. | :00:32. | |

A drink-driver admits causing the death of a woman in a crash, | :00:37. | :00:37. | |
as he fled from police She was on her way home | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
from her son's wedding. I thought 40, 50 or 60. At 80, that | :00:42. | :00:55. | |
set the whole family back, definitely. | :00:56. | :00:56. | |
sports decide a united approach is best, as they build | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
And conservationists and landowners team up, to learn more about | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
There's been a threefold rise in children being trafficked | :01:05. | :01:23. | |
into Scotland, with the highest numbers from Vietnam. | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
The BBC has also learnt that seven children subsequently | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
disappeared from care, thought to have been taken | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
In this exclusive report our political correspondent Lucy Adams | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
has been to meet some of those who've been trafficked. | :01:37. | :01:48. | |
This boy was sent to Scotland in the lorry when he was 15. As part of the | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
journey, he remembers walking through forest for days. When he | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
arrived, he had no idea what country he was in. | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
TRANSLATION: In the early days, my mind was full of fear and concern. | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
Two of the Vietnamese boys he was with then disappeared. Because those | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
two fled, I was even more scared. His story is not unique. Figures | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
obtained by the BBC show that over 100 children have been trafficked | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
obtained by the BBC show that over into Scotland in the past six years, | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
and more than half of them came from Vietnam. A quarter have been forced | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
to work in cannabis plantations, another quarter in the sex industry. | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
More than 10% became domestic slaves behind closed doors. Others are on | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
our high streets, forced to work in nail bars. I think it is a growing | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
problem because of the refugee crisis. There are many children on | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
the move. It is the tip of the iceberg, because we only see those | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
lucky enough to escape will be rescued from a situation. There are | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
probably a lot of children we don't know about that are being exploited | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
in different situations. For those trafficked into Scotland, the | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
nightmare does not necessarily end once they escape. Seven Vietnamese | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
children have since disappeared, thought to have been abducted by the | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
very gangs that brought them here. That includes a 15-year-old, feared | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
to have been abducted in Glasgow last summer. This boy's parents died | :03:32. | :03:40. | |
when he was ten. A gang found him and forced to work a shoeshine boy. | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
They then put him into the back of a lorry. We cannot show his face | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
because he lives in fear of the gangs who brought him here. | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
TRANSLATION: A person brought a gun to threaten me. He asked me to stay | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
inside, not make any noise. If someone hears me inside, they would | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
kill me. They said if I don't work, they would kill me. Scotland is a | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
long way from Vietnam, but experts say the global refugee crisis means | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
the numbers trafficked here will continue to rise, and that more | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
support is required to ensure that once rescued these children do not | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
go missing again. Lucy joins me now. How big a problem | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
in Scotland is this? Part of the problem is that by its very nature | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
this is a hidden crime. The charity say there is an estimated 13,000 | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
victims of trafficking currently held captive around the UK. But | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
these figures show that this is something which is getting a bigger | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
problem in Scotland. Because Scotland is distant, geographically, | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
from some of the main smuggling routes in the south-east of England, | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
sometimes there is an assumption that we are exempt from the problem. | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
These figures show that is not the case. Experts also say that despite | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
seeing these figures, this is just the tip of the iceberg, because all | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
they know about is the children who have been rescued and found, mainly | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
in police raids. They don't know about those still being forced to | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
work behind closed doors. Couldn't they run away, many of them? A | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
number of them are working in nail bars in high streets around | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
Scotland. As you say, it is not as if they are held behind bars. But | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
whereas hundreds of years ago the bonds of Labour were shackles that | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
you could see, now they are invisible. They are being held by | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
fear. Many of them may be debt bonded to their captors, and they | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
are held by threats to their lives, to the lives of their families, and | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
the fact that they are children in a foreign country where they do not | :05:50. | :05:50. | |
speak the language. A drink-driver has admitted causing | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
the death of a woman in a crash, as she returned home | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
from her son's wedding. 57-year-old Marie Laurie had | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
just got into a taxi with her husband, when it was hit | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
by a car being chased Today the High Court in Glasgow | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
heard that the driver, 21-year-old Steven Bennie, | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
was travelling at 80 miles an hour Steven Bennie, in the suit, was 20 | :06:07. | :06:24. | |
years old in November last year, with only a provisional licence | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
when, after drinking enough with friends to put him over the | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
drink-drive limit, he refused to stop when police tried to pull him | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
over. Marie Laurie had just got into a taxi with her husband, on their | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
way home from her son's wedding. The court heard that after Steven | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
Bennie, who was driving in an Astra, sped off from the police coming | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
switched off his headlights and was driving at around 80 miles proud in | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
a 30 mph zone. In the taxi, James was handing his wife, Marie Laurie, | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
the flowers she had been given at the wedding. When Steven Bennie's | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
car hit the taxi, it did so with such impact that the taxi spun | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
round. Marie Laurie lost consciousness a few minutes later | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
and despite the actions of the lease and paramedics, she died. Her | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
husband survived but sustained multiple injuries including rib | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
fractures and a laceration to his liver. Marie Laurie's family were | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
clearly shocked when they heard the speed that Steven Bennie was doing. | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
I know it was a 30 mph zone. I thought maybe 60 mph, but it set the | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
whole family back when we heard that. It was his wedding that Marie | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
Laurie had been at. The family are pleased that Steven Bennie has | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
admitted his guilt and they can be left to grieve. Marie Laurie was a | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
admitted his guilt and they can be much loved mother, stepmother, | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
grandmother and aunt. Peacemaker. My mum was just a very genuine woman. | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
Nice. She got on with anybody. I have said this many times. She got | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
on with anybody. She loved her family. Steven Bennie was remanded | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
in custody and will be sentenced next month. The judge told him he | :08:06. | :08:06. | |
will be given a prison sentence. The winner of the Labour | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
party's leadership contest between Jeremy Corbyn and Owen Smith | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
will be announced at a special conference | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
in Liverpool tomorrow morning. Our political correspondent | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
Nick Eardley is in Is a Jeremy Corbyn victory now seen | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
as inevitable, Nick? Sally, I think the expectation is | :08:20. | :08:37. | |
that Jeremy Corbyn will be confirmed Labour leader tomorrow in the | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
conference centre on the beautiful banks of the River Mersey. The | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
question is how big he will win, and whether or not it means his internal | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
opponents have two, at least for now, put their criticism to one | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
side. One thing to watch out for is whether the margin between Jeremy | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
Corbyn and his challenger, Owen Smith, is any less in Scotland. | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
People I have spoken to expect that Owen Smith will get a bigger margin | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
of the vote in Scotland, although there is not a sense that he will | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
necessarily win north of the border. What about the indications for | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
Scotland, because Kezia Dugdale publicly backed Owen Smith. What | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
might a Jeremy Corbyn victory mean for relations between the UK and the | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
Scottish party? Kezia Dugdale said last month that she did not think | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
Jeremy Corbyn had wide enough appeal to lead the Labour Party to a UK | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
general election victory. One of the questions that Kezia Dugdale will | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
face if Jeremy Corbyn does win tomorrow is whether she has changed | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
her mind, and if he is in power in the Labour Party leading up to a | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
general election, whether she thinks it is a lost cause. What I expect | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
tomorrow is that Jeremy Corbyn will say, we need to wipe the slate | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
clean, get behind whoever the leader is and move forward as a party. I | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
think you will hear something similar from Kezia Dugdale tomorrow. | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
She will want to give the message of unity to say, let's stop fighting | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
each other and spend more time fighting political opponents. But | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
the key differences and the key personalities are likely to remain | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
the same. And whether those differences can be solved moving | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
forward, that remains to be seen. A lovely sunset behind you in | :10:24. | :10:24. | |
Liverpool. Thank you. A woman has been charged | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
with culpable homicide, in connection with the death | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
of a man in East Ayrshire yesterday. 41-year-old Martin Gorman was found | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
with serious injuries at a home in Kilmarnock in the early hours, | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
but he later died in hospital. Lisa Burnett, who's 28, | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
made no plea or declaration at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
and was released on bail, Rangers striker Kenny Miller has | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
been arrested in connection with an alleged disturbance | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
at a restaurant The incident happened at Da Luciano | :10:50. | :10:50. | |
in Bothwell on Saturday the 10th of September, | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
hours after Rangers lost Police Scotland confirmed that | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
a 36-year-old man had been arrested and was the subject of a report | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
to the Procurator Fiscal Edinburgh Council has ordered | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
a survey of its buildings, following the closure of 17 schools | :11:06. | :11:17. | |
earlier this year due ?500,000 has been set aside | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
for the checks on buildings constructed at about the same | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
time as the schools. It started with the collapse of this | :11:24. | :11:37. | |
wall, and similar construction flaws were discovered at other PFI schools | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
in Edinburgh. 17 were closed. Repairs done, pupils back in class, | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
Edinburgh Council have now ordered a survey of other city buildings to | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
check whether the problems are more widespread. The surveys will focus | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
on building is built around the same time using a similar design model as | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
the ones where problems have been uncovered. The council are refusing | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
to say exactly which buildings engineers will be looking at, but | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
there are dozens on the list. Described as precautionary, ?500,000 | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
has been set aside for work councillors hope will reveal nothing | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
new. You can't rule it out and that is the reason for the survey, | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
although so far the buildings are perfectly sound. Nevertheless, it | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
seems prudent, having discovered problems in the school buildings, to | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
look at others with a similar design, to satisfy ourselves they | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
are completely safe. Last month a BBC investigation revealed | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
construction defects at schools elsewhere in Scotland. This | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
architect believes others should follow Edinburgh's decision to look | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
beyond the school estate. The incredible thing that Fiona Walker's | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
investigation threw up was the extent, the possible extent of how | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
many failings there are potentially in each of those schools. I am | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
many failings there are potentially puzzled but not surprised. I think | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
it is overdue. The surveys are expected to take a few months. All | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
the while, an independent enquiry into the school closures continues, | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
with a report due by the end of the year. | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
You're watching BBC Reporting Scotland. | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
A reminder of tonight's top story: | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
New figures show a threefold rise in children | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
Conservationists and landowners team up to learn more about the threats | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
Three of Scotland's most successful sports have | :13:31. | :13:40. | |
is best as they build for the future. | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
A record-breaking Team GB brought home 67 Olympic medals, | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
and at the Paralympics, another record haul of 147 medals | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
Now it's time to build on that success here in Scotland, | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
with a new approach to maximise results. | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
I am here at Stirling, Scotland's University for sporting excellence, | :13:57. | :14:08. | |
and high-level talks are about to begin. The Chief Executive is of | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
Scottish athletics, cycling and swimming believe that a united | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
approach will better profit all of their sports. So who are the main | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
players? Mark Munro, interim Chief Executive of Scottish athletics. | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
Craig Byrne, Chief Executive of Scottish cycling, and the Chief | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
Executive of Scottish swimming. They Scottish cycling, and the Chief | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
firmly believe a united front could benefit their sports in the | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
organisation, participation, performance and also commercially. | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
By having a product, there is more choice for people, particularly if | :14:45. | :14:46. | |
you look at selling a family product. Not everyone wants to cycle | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
necessarily, or to run or swim, but hopefully if we can package and | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
promote something we will get best value for everybody's resource. | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
Athletics made a decision six years ago to focus on developing clubs, | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
supporting volunteers and support working with coaches, putting | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
coaching the athlete at the heart of sport, and we are starting to see | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
the benefits now. It is about starting to take advantage of those | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
results, the political and public opportunities they present to | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
promote sport. There are lots of good ideas in athletics but it is | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
good to look at what other sports are doing. Sometimes you think we | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
are doing similar things but slightly differently, so the slight | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
differences make you think, that is something we had not thought of. It | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
will take time to build the system into a Scottish regional, national | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
system and ultimately being selected on to GB. We know if we get them on | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
GB, they are in the best system in the world, as has been proven over | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
the last three Olympics cycles. Out of the meeting, something that has | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
been reinforced is the importance of our clubs, coaches and supporting | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
performance athletes. We will go away and double our efforts on that | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
front. The talks will continue. The three sports say they are committed | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
to a united approach for years to come. | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
Paralympic gold medallist Gordon Reid has told BBC Scotland | :16:13. | :16:14. | |
of being wheelchair tennis's world number one. | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
The 24-year-old is confident he can hang onto the ranking | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
he achieved following some brilliant form this year, | :16:23. | :16:24. | |
in which he's won four Grand Slam titles, | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
as well as Paralympic gold and silver in Rio. | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
It is a good pressure to have, yeah, it's not gone to be easy, there are | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
a lot of good players in our sport, at the top of the men's game, so it | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
is going to be tough, people are going to be gunning for me, but I | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
will do my best to try to stay at there. | :16:49. | :16:52. | |

and first owned by the then Duchess of Sutherland. | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
It was described as the jewel in the crown of Scottish hostelling, | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
but was badly damaged by winter weather several years ago. | :18:24. | :18:25. | |
The castle had been on the market for less than ?1 million. | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
The Wigtown Book Festival got under way today. | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
The ten-day long event is now the second biggest of its kind | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
It attracts a host of top politicians, broadcasters | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
and literary figures, including Graeme Macrae Burnet, | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
who's been shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. | :18:44. | :18:52. | |
There is a lot more competition in the festival world now than there | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
was ten years ago, there are something like 300 book festivals | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
all over the country, so you always fighting for authors' time, fighting | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
for publishers' attention. The Old Firm rivalry is | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
the fiercest in Scottish football, but many believe | :19:10. | :19:11. | |
it's closely followed by the Aberdeen versus Rangers | :19:12. | :19:12. | |
fixture. The pair meet on Sunday for the | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
first time since the Ibrox club's financial meltdown four years ago, | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
so just why is there a deep rooted rivalry between two | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
clubs 150 miles apart? Here's our senior football reporter, | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
Chris Mclaughlin. Some say it was sparked after a | :19:27. | :19:35. | |
sickening tackle in this match in 1988. I remember there was a few | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
people around the ball, I was on the touchline, the ball squirted out | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
ball. He came straight through him. ball. He came straight through him. | :19:48. | :19:59. | |
-- his eye. He still went on to have a very good career, but he could | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
have had a very good career. Ian Durant sustained ligament damage and | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
was out of action for two years, but one Aberdeen legendary members | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
asking a local about the rivalry years before. I said, what is it | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
with Rangers, Rangers and Celtic, who do you hate most? One of them | :20:20. | :20:28. | |
says, in the Aberdeen dialect, we don't mind Celtic, but we hate | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
Rangers. So even then, there was a kind of vitriolic hatred against | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
Rangers. Some believe it was down to the arrival of another Glaswegian to | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
the north-east. When Alex Ferguson took over, made Aberdeen the team it | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
became a 1980s, it very unusual for Rangers to beat Aberdeen, and so you | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
could imagine that the potential for resentment there on the brain just | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
fans, of course, that was reciprocated, if you like, by the | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
Aberdeen fans. Today the rivalry has taken it was - some Aberdeen fans | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
are planning a minute's applause in mock memorial of a club they believe | :21:12. | :21:13. | |
are planning a minute's applause in died in 2012. They wind us up. It is | :21:14. | :21:21. | |
just football banter, really, I do not think it should cause any | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
offence. But even a former captain of England | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
admit it is a game not to be underestimated. A lot of people say | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
about the rivalry between Rangers and Celtic, but Aberdeen against | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
Rangers is pretty intense, real hatred, that is, right at there. | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
Where once league titles were at stake, and Sunday it is purely about | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
bragging rights, that and the renewal of old rivalries. | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
A research project has been trying to find out | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
why so many hen harrier nest sites fail in Scotland. | :21:55. | :21:56. | |
Shooting estates have long been accused of disturbing the nests. | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
Now land managers are working with conservationists | :22:00. | :22:00. | |
to better understand what's happening. | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
And they've made some unexpected discoveries. | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
Dougie Vipond has been finding out more. | :22:08. | :22:15. | |
Hen harriers always build their nests on the ground. This project | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
involves placing hidden cameras at their nest sites to find out what | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
threats they face. Brian Etheridge has worked for RSPB for 30 years. | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
Why do think numbers are so low? Unfortunately, I find in most cases | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
it is the land management that is the problem, which is mainly driven | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
grouse moors. But many landowners say they try to provide a safe haven | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
for wildlife. By keeping it small, you have got... Tim Baines as a | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
spokesman for Scottish Land and Estates, the body that represents | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
most of the grouse shooting moorland. | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
You always painted as the bad guys, is that frustrating? People get | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
angry, because they are out every day, taking responsibility for | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
balancing all the different things that they have to do in managing | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
moorland. It is the end of the breeding season, and the nest | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
cameras are coming down. Initially, there are five chicks on the nest, | :23:21. | :23:31. | |
and the camera records the temperature, it is particularly | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
cold, and only one of the original five survives due to the extreme | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
temperature ranges. At another site in the South of Scotland, you can | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
see the chicks are relaxing, and over the next couple of shots... A | :23:45. | :23:54. | |
fox, my goodness, look at that! Really aggressive, feisty reaction. | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
Unfortunately, we learn later on that in this case the chick was | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
nipped by the fox and was found dead. The partnership between | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
landowners and conservation agencies has revealed some of the many | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
challenges facing birds of prey, but this collaboration might also holds | :24:12. | :24:12. | |
the key to their future. And you can see more | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
of Dougie Vipond's report on Landward tonight | :24:16. | :24:17. | |
on BBC One Scotland at 7:30. The titles and theme tune | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
for the popular comedy Still Game have been revamped ahead | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
of the launch of a new series. The programme will be back | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
on BBC One next month The new titles show the main | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
characters Jack and Victor, played by Ford Kiernan | :24:32. | :24:43. | |
and Greg Hemphill, from the 1960s, The title music has | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
also been re-recorded Let's hear the worst | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
about the weekend weather now. , Yes, the rain has set in during | :24:53. | :25:20. | |
the course of the day in the north and north-west, and for a good part | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
of tomorrow it will go nowhere, persistent and heavy pulses of rain. | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
The Met office has issued a yellow warning, a risk of flooding and | :25:32. | :25:39. | |
hazardous driving conditions, and it will be accompanied by heavy winds. | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
Dry and cloudy for the east overnight, lows of around ten or 11 | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
Celsius. Tomorrow dawns cloudy, the rain continues across the | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
north-west, and that will continue to spread its way further south and | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
east as we go through the course of the day. Again, accompanied by | :26:00. | :26:01. | |
strong to gale force southerly the day. Again, accompanied by | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
winds. But with that southerly wind direction, there will be sheltered | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
from the hills across the likes of the Borders, Lothians, Edinburgh, | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
Aberdeenshire and the Moray coast, where temperatures will peak at | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
perhaps 20 Celsius, given any sunshine. That is very much the | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
exception to the rule, most of us will be under a blanket of cloud, | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
persistent and heavy outbreaks of rain. Something of a clearance | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
towards the Western Isles, late tomorrow afternoon, and the winds | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
easing here. Across the far north-east, any rain will be light | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
and patchy, although the winds will remain strong to gale force here. | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
For hill walking and climbing, for the more Western Rangers, heavy | :26:47. | :26:49. | |
outbreaks of rain to come, and southerly winds, severe gales, if | :26:50. | :26:58. | |
not storm force gusts of wind is. Extensive hill fog, temperatures up | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
to nine Celsius on the hilltops. In the east, the dry conditions across | :27:03. | :27:10. | |
the Borders, severe gale if not storm force gusts of wind from the | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
south. For tomorrow evening, then, heavy persistent pulses of rain for | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
a time, that gradually pulls away to the east during the overnight | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
period, and the winds will ease for all. Into Sunday, we still have low | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
pressure in charge, and we have a westerly airflow and Sunday which | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
will bring in a number of showers across the west and north-west | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
especially, with the best of any drier and brighter interludes found | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
towards eastern areas, a fresher feel, and indeed Monday will be a | :27:42. | :27:44. | |
very similar day. That is the forecast, Sally. | :27:45. | :27:46. | |
There's been a threefold rise in children | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
being trafficked into Scotland, with the highest | :27:52. | :27:52. | |
The BBC has also learnt that seven children subsequently | :27:53. | :27:55. | |
thought to have been taken by their traffickers. | :27:56. | :28:03. | |
I'll be back with the headlines at eight and the late bulletin | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
Until then, from everyone on the team, | :28:08. | :28:10. | |
right across the country, have a very good evening. | :28:11. | :28:12. |
