:00:00. > :00:08.and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

:00:09. > :00:10.Tonight, on Reporting Scotland, it's confirmed that Mike Towell,

:00:11. > :00:12.the Dundee boxer who died after a bout last week,

:00:13. > :00:15.had complained of headaches during training.

:00:16. > :00:19.Nine days after he went missing in Suffolk, the mother of an RAF

:00:20. > :00:24.serviceman makes an appeal for help to find him.

:00:25. > :00:34.We would like him to come home. We would like him to come home soon.

:00:35. > :00:37.This is unlike him, he wouldn't do this out of choice.

:00:38. > :00:39.Also on the programme, Scottish scientists find a potential

:00:40. > :00:42.new treatment for eczema using the body's own natural defences.

:00:43. > :00:44.They were two of the biggest names in Scottish football,

:00:45. > :00:46.but what do they think of the national team's chances ahead

:00:47. > :00:51.And we meet up with Emili Sande four years after she put her career

:00:52. > :01:10.on hold after struggling to cope with life in the spotlight.

:01:11. > :01:16.Mike Towell, the Dundee boxer who died after a bout last Friday,

:01:17. > :01:19.complained about headaches in the run up to the fight.

:01:20. > :01:21.It's been confirmed a training session had to be

:01:22. > :01:26.The boxing community say the sport is still relatively safe,

:01:27. > :01:34.but it's led to calls for greater checks, as Rhona McLeod reports.

:01:35. > :01:46.This is the boxer Mike Towell, just one year ago. 11 fights unbeaten

:01:47. > :01:54.commie he was working hard to make his way in the sport to support his

:01:55. > :02:01.young family. But, in the build-up to this, his final fight, all was

:02:02. > :02:06.not well. His girlfriend says he complained of headaches and the

:02:07. > :02:10.owner of the gym, Alex Morrison says he stopped during a sparring

:02:11. > :02:15.session, again because of headaches. Fight fans are looking forward to

:02:16. > :02:20.the WBA title defence of Ricky Burns, but the boxing community is

:02:21. > :02:27.still reeling after the death of one of their own. Cannot put it into

:02:28. > :02:31.words. My heart goes out to his family. Obviously, it is the last

:02:32. > :02:37.thing anybody wanted to happen. You have a fight coming up, you have a

:02:38. > :02:42.medical, they are always checking you. It is a safe sport. Obviously

:02:43. > :02:48.it is just now and again, a tragedy like this will happen. The former

:02:49. > :02:53.world champion, Ricky Hatton, has started a fund for Mike Towell's

:02:54. > :02:58.partner and son. He knows the sport is under scrutiny. The daggers have

:02:59. > :03:04.come out, boxing should be banned. But the authorities have everything

:03:05. > :03:12.in order to make the boxes as safe as they can. It is nobody's fault.

:03:13. > :03:16.We all know what can happen. It is a tragedy. But there must be changes

:03:17. > :03:20.in the sport, according to one veteran boxing journalist. There are

:03:21. > :03:29.medical checks, perhaps they will be stepped up. But so much is also

:03:30. > :03:33.dependent on the individual's honesty. Sports people will tell

:03:34. > :03:41.lies so they don't miss a football match or a boxing match. A lot of it

:03:42. > :03:46.is dependent on their honesty. You can never make this 100% safe, it

:03:47. > :03:53.will never be the case. The very nature of the sport as well, means

:03:54. > :03:58.it can never be 100%. An investigation into the death of Mike

:03:59. > :04:03.Towell continues. His Welsh opponent says he is absolutely heartbroken

:04:04. > :04:05.and a family tried to come to terms with their loss.

:04:06. > :04:07.Nearly 100 tonnes of oil has leaked from a platform west of Shetland.

:04:08. > :04:10.BP says it believes the best solution is to allow the oil

:04:11. > :04:12.from the Clair platform to disperse naturally in the sea,

:04:13. > :04:14.but admits other options are still on the table.

:04:15. > :04:16.Our environment correspondent Kevin Keane is at BP headquarters

:04:17. > :04:28.What more can you tell us about this, Kevin? This happened yesterday

:04:29. > :04:35.morning and it happened at a point called the separator. What tends to

:04:36. > :04:40.happen is oil, gas and water come onto the platform where they are

:04:41. > :04:47.separate. The oil and gas are stored and the clean water is pumped back

:04:48. > :04:52.out into the sea. What appeared to have happened yesterday, some of the

:04:53. > :05:00.oil got mixed in with the water as it was being pumped back out to sea.

:05:01. > :05:07.That went on for almost an hour, according to BP. 95 tonnes of it, as

:05:08. > :05:14.you say, will eat. It is heading away from land at the moment so it

:05:15. > :05:16.is not expected to cause any environmental impact, but it is

:05:17. > :05:20.being monitored and surveillance flights have been going over it. How

:05:21. > :05:24.much is 95 tonnes and how significant is this? Figures from

:05:25. > :05:31.2014 show there are hundreds of much smaller leaks of oil across the UK

:05:32. > :05:38.sector, the total amount of all those leaks in 2014 was just 20

:05:39. > :05:39.tonnes. So this is five times the amount that was accidentally leaked

:05:40. > :05:43.in 2014. Thank you very much. Police searching for an RAF

:05:44. > :05:44.serviceman who disappeared in Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk nine

:05:45. > :05:46.days ago say there's nothing Corrie Mckeague, who's 23,

:05:47. > :05:49.was last seen on CCTV walking alone eating fast food

:05:50. > :05:50.in the early hours of Saturday, Police are now examining a bin

:05:51. > :05:54.lorry, which is believed to have gone along the same route

:05:55. > :06:02.as a signal detected My son has disappeared. Just four

:06:03. > :06:06.words from his mother, Nicola, brutally honest about something the

:06:07. > :06:11.family admits it's a rear. With his brothers by her side, it she

:06:12. > :06:21.appealed for information. There seems to be no evidence to suggest

:06:22. > :06:29.what has happened to Corrie. At 3:20am on Saturday morning he was

:06:30. > :06:35.seen on CCTV, and so far there is no evidence to show where my son has

:06:36. > :06:39.gone. This is where he was seen. Police have released images

:06:40. > :06:44.identical to that of what he was wearing and searching have covered

:06:45. > :06:52.hundreds of roads, river banks and fields. Today, the focus was at

:06:53. > :06:57.Barton Mills by the day 11. Phone tracking picked up Corrie's phone on

:06:58. > :07:01.the morning he disappeared. At the same time, had bin lorry travel

:07:02. > :07:07.between the two locations. The vehicle has been seized and the

:07:08. > :07:11.conference was told a search is underway. Where do you place but in

:07:12. > :07:15.terms of its importance in this enquiry? Difficult to say, different

:07:16. > :07:21.lines of enquiry and the phone is only one. CCTV is important, both in

:07:22. > :07:27.terms of Bury St Edmunds but also Mildenhall and around there. The

:07:28. > :07:33.phone is important, but so is a lot of other lines of enquiry. We have a

:07:34. > :07:37.dedicated team who are focused this investigation. The search teams

:07:38. > :07:42.admit their task is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but they

:07:43. > :07:43.remain determined and methodical. We will use historic data

:07:44. > :07:45.remain determined and methodical. We something like 50,000 historic

:07:46. > :07:51.searches. That information has been collated by people and it gives us

:07:52. > :07:58.best case scenarios. It gives as a starting point. As his mother I

:07:59. > :08:06.could sit here and talk to you about my son and the man he is. But I

:08:07. > :08:12.don't want this to be a story about Corrie and the person he is, it is

:08:13. > :08:17.about finding him. The search teams were joined over the weekend by

:08:18. > :08:23.member of his family. They wanted, they needed to walk by the side of

:08:24. > :08:26.the volunteers. As much as anything, they wanted to say thank you for

:08:27. > :08:28.their dedication. The former Rangers owner Craig Whyte

:08:29. > :08:29.has appeared again at the High Court in connection with his takeover

:08:30. > :08:31.of the Ibrox club in 2011. He's charged with obtaining

:08:32. > :08:33.a controlling stake in Rangers by fraud and of breaching

:08:34. > :08:35.the Companies Act. Mr Whyte entered no plea and is due

:08:36. > :08:38.back in court for a hearing His trial has been provisionally set

:08:39. > :08:42.for April next year in Glasgow The jury in the trial of a man

:08:43. > :08:47.accused of murdering the waiter Surjit Singh Chhokar nearly 18 years

:08:48. > :08:50.ago has spent its first day Ronnie Coulter is accused

:08:51. > :09:08.of stabbing Mr Chhokar The jury here at the High Court in

:09:09. > :09:14.Glasgow has been hearing evidence over the course of the last four

:09:15. > :09:19.weeks. Lord Matt Hughes told the juror is, in order to convict Ronnie

:09:20. > :09:24.Coulter, they must be convinced he is the knife and stabbed Mr Chhokar.

:09:25. > :09:28.Before sending the jury out this morning, Lord Matthews told the ten

:09:29. > :09:32.women and four men, they were entitled to return one of three

:09:33. > :09:37.verdicts, guilty, not guilty or not proven. He also said the verdict

:09:38. > :09:42.must be unanimous or by majority. The judge also told the jury there

:09:43. > :09:49.was no time limit on its deliberations. He told them, it is

:09:50. > :09:55.not a case where you want to rush to judgment and I'm sure you will not

:09:56. > :10:02.do that. Ronnie Coulter denies murdering Mr Chhokar on the 14th of

:10:03. > :10:04.November in 1988. He had a special defence blaming his nephew and

:10:05. > :10:07.another man, David McGoldrick. defence blaming his nephew and

:10:08. > :10:11.Ronnie Coulter is on trial for murdering Mr Chhokar for a second

:10:12. > :10:13.time, having previously been acquitted of the alleged murder. The

:10:14. > :10:17.jury will continue deliberating tomorrow.

:10:18. > :10:19.Secondary schools are set to be hit by industrial action by members

:10:20. > :10:24.More than 90% of members of the Scottish Secondary Teachers

:10:25. > :10:26.Association who took part in a ballot said they'd support

:10:27. > :10:28.action short of a strike over their workload.

:10:29. > :10:31.Last week, the largest teachers union, the EIS,

:10:32. > :10:34.called off a work to rule after the Government announced

:10:35. > :10:39.The SSTA says the Government's move is a step in the right direction

:10:40. > :10:43.The Education Secretary, John Swinney said there

:10:44. > :10:45.was "no justification whatsoever" for the action.

:10:46. > :10:47.The Scottish Secretary David Mundell has urged the Scottish and UK

:10:48. > :10:54.governments to avoid confrontation in Brexit talks.

:10:55. > :11:09.suggested the scottish parliament could refuse to back legal changes.

:11:10. > :11:12.Nick Eardley is at Tory conference in Birmingham.

:11:13. > :11:16.Nick this continues a war of words over the weekend.

:11:17. > :11:23.Yes, the Prime Minister didn't mince her words yesterday when she said

:11:24. > :11:29.there could be no opt out from Brexit. Theresa May thinks the whole

:11:30. > :11:33.of the UK is leaving. She said she would fight what she calls divisive

:11:34. > :11:37.nationalists. But the most immediate row that has broken out is over

:11:38. > :11:44.plans to convert EU law into domestic law and then give the UK

:11:45. > :11:49.Parliament the ability to choose what it wants to get rid of.

:11:50. > :11:52.Normally when Westminster wants to legislate in an area covered by

:11:53. > :11:56.devolution, in needs the permission of the Scottish parliament. Mike

:11:57. > :12:01.Russell, the man in charge of Brexit talks for the Scottish Government,

:12:02. > :12:04.things that will be the case in this situation also. He suggested that

:12:05. > :12:11.because of the majority of MSPs oppose leaving the EU, it could be

:12:12. > :12:17.hard to get it through. But the UK Government is convinced it needs

:12:18. > :12:18.that consent as yet? Earlier I spoke to David Mundell.

:12:19. > :12:25.Ultimately the Scottish parliament doesn't have a veto over the UK

:12:26. > :12:31.leaving the EU. Of course they will have a say and important debates,

:12:32. > :12:40.but they will not have a veto on the process. I want them to be engaged

:12:41. > :12:44.and and that is why I'm going to appear before the Scottish

:12:45. > :12:51.Parliament and why David Davis is going to do that as well. We want to

:12:52. > :12:55.proceed on the basis of partnership and we are looking to work together,

:12:56. > :12:57.not looking for confrontation or unnecessary arguments

:12:58. > :13:05.But there are differences of opinion. The UK Government have said

:13:06. > :13:09.the next priority is to bring down immigration. The Scottish Government

:13:10. > :13:13.has said its main concern is retaining membership of the single

:13:14. > :13:16.market. David Mundell says he wants a constructive relationship moving

:13:17. > :13:22.forward. I think at least some of that will be down to both sides

:13:23. > :13:23.giving and taking and some compromise.

:13:24. > :13:24.You're watching BBC Reporting Scotland.

:13:25. > :13:27.Confirmation that the boxer, Mike Towel, who died after a bout,

:13:28. > :13:29.had complained of headaches during training.

:13:30. > :13:30.And still to come - on the shortlist for Britain's most

:13:31. > :13:33.prestigious annual architecture award, this college campus

:13:34. > :13:39.is the only Scottish building in the running.

:13:40. > :13:42.Eczema affects around 8 million people in the UK.

:13:43. > :13:44.The intense itching and burning skin can be hugely distressing

:13:45. > :13:50.Scientists at Edinburgh University have been testing ways

:13:51. > :13:53.in which the body's own natural defences might be used to create

:13:54. > :14:13.There are only so many photographic filters you can use to cover the red

:14:14. > :14:23.marks up on your face. I will do it around my eyes and my cheeks. As you

:14:24. > :14:27.can see from the creams I had to apply them regularly, to hopefully

:14:28. > :14:32.cover up the marks. Liam has lived with eczema all his life, but the

:14:33. > :14:39.symptoms are not just physical. Growing up as a teenager, going

:14:40. > :14:46.through a lot of change as it is. If you are faced with problems with

:14:47. > :14:51.your skin on top of that, it is another problem you have to deal

:14:52. > :14:56.with. When skin is damage, people usually produce a compound to heal

:14:57. > :14:59.the broken cells. It doesn't seem to happen with eczema. At Edinburgh

:15:00. > :15:03.University, scientists have been working on a natural defence. It is

:15:04. > :15:09.a culture broth that allows these artificial skin systems to grow in

:15:10. > :15:12.the lab. Bay have instructed the cells to produce this substance

:15:13. > :15:17.lacking in people with eczema. They have been able to show this

:15:18. > :15:20.defensive thing not only kills bacteria, but strengthens the skin

:15:21. > :15:24.barrier that fights of other infections. For many people it is a

:15:25. > :15:27.lifelong treatment and that is a mixture of moisturisers and steroid

:15:28. > :15:32.creams. Steroid creams can become less effective as you get older, but

:15:33. > :15:40.also cause with repeated use. This can give us an insight into how you

:15:41. > :15:46.approach and treat it. It. It could be trying to instruct the eczema

:15:47. > :15:52.skin to try and make this defensive thing. Or it could be making the

:15:53. > :16:00.defensive to make a cream or ointment. The challenge is to get it

:16:01. > :16:06.out of the lab but that could be ten to 15 years away. But the sufferers

:16:07. > :16:11.lightly on, it would been freedom from this distressing condition.

:16:12. > :16:13.North Lanarkshire Council has suspended three members of staff

:16:14. > :16:15.amid an ongoing investigation into corruption claims.

:16:16. > :16:19.The investigation began in April after an anonymous letter made

:16:20. > :16:23.There are calls for a reform to the system that allows council

:16:24. > :16:26.chief executives to receive extra payouts for acting as returning

:16:27. > :16:29.These have amounted to ?1 million in the past two years.

:16:30. > :16:32.The existing arrangements are to be scrutinised by a commitee of MSPs.

:16:33. > :16:39.The Electoral Reform Society will be giving evidence.

:16:40. > :16:45.We are very pleased the committee is looking at this, because the formula

:16:46. > :16:49.has changed since it was last set up, it is time it was like that.

:16:50. > :16:52.A memorial service for families affected by the baby ashes scandal

:16:53. > :16:54.at Aberdeen's Hazlehead Crematorium is to be held next month.

:16:55. > :16:57.Baby and adult ashes were mixed together and given back

:16:58. > :16:59.to relatives of the adult, while the parents of infants

:17:00. > :17:02.The non-denominational service will take place

:17:03. > :17:11.The RSPB is trying to raise almost ?300,000 in a month to buy land

:17:12. > :17:18.to expand an important bird reserve on the Solway Firth.

:17:19. > :17:21.Mersehead is the winter home of more than 10,000 barnacle geese.

:17:22. > :17:23.Land has become available adjacent to the existing reserve

:17:24. > :17:26.but the charity has only until the end of the the month

:17:27. > :17:39.That will join us up, creating a lovely wildlife corridor for the

:17:40. > :17:44.benefit of not just the geese but other species we manage four,

:17:45. > :17:47.breeding waders like lapwing, and other non-avian species, the

:17:48. > :17:51.natterjack toad as well. On Saturday, Scotland play Lithuania

:17:52. > :17:54.in their second qualifying match for the 2018 World Cup

:17:55. > :17:56.finals in Russia. Despite winning their opening

:17:57. > :17:57.match against Malta 5-1, the former Scotland player

:17:58. > :18:00.Kenny Dalglish says he'd be happy if the team win this weekend's game

:18:01. > :18:21.by a fluke or an own goal. They were the heroes of EST in a

:18:22. > :18:26.Scotland jersey, now they display the name of the new sponsors of the

:18:27. > :18:30.main stand at Hampden park. They are just as keen to see Scotland succeed

:18:31. > :18:34.at the weekend against Lithuania. just as keen to see Scotland succeed

:18:35. > :18:39.They have been here a couple of times in recent years, they are

:18:40. > :18:43.strong, well-organised, maybe a little bit more defensive than what

:18:44. > :18:50.you would like, but we will try to break them down. At the end of the

:18:51. > :18:54.year, be patient, if we get a fluke, and own goal that gets us through,

:18:55. > :18:59.fine, well done. After beating Malta in the first round of games,

:19:00. > :19:04.Scotland are top of the group but there are another nine matches in

:19:05. > :19:08.the qualifying campaign. England are the favourites to qualify

:19:09. > :19:11.automatically. Archie Gemmill scored one of the greatest goals ever seen

:19:12. > :19:22.in the World Cup finals in 1978 against Holland. And despite

:19:23. > :19:25.England's change of manager following the departure of Sam

:19:26. > :19:31.Allardyce and a cloud of corruption allegations, he says it might not be

:19:32. > :19:34.to their detriment. I think personally it will make England

:19:35. > :19:42.stronger, but I think Scotland should look at it as a group minus

:19:43. > :19:46.England. The two games against England are going to be absolutely

:19:47. > :19:51.massive, so if they can win that group minus England, they are going

:19:52. > :19:57.to be in a play-off for the World Cup. The Hampden Park facade debates

:19:58. > :20:01.the Scotland greats of the past, but if the present team enjoy success,

:20:02. > :20:03.it may be their faces on view in the future.

:20:04. > :20:04.Aberdeenshire singer-songwriter Emeli Sande

:20:05. > :20:07.is back in the limelight after a break of almost four years.

:20:08. > :20:09.The pop star is playing a series of intimate gigs

:20:10. > :20:12.ahead of her second album being released.

:20:13. > :20:14.The 29-year-old says she's determined to take things

:20:15. > :20:16.a little easier after her meteoric rise took its toll.

:20:17. > :20:31.Back on home turf and back in the spotlight, the last few years have

:20:32. > :20:37.been an emotional roller-coaster for the multi-million selling artist. A

:20:38. > :20:40.new single is a nod to that. It just feels like a big emotional

:20:41. > :20:44.explosion, it felt like the first time I wasn't trying to like censor

:20:45. > :20:50.anything, I just let it all out, this is how I am feeling. This

:20:51. > :20:55.intimate stage is a long way from the global one that she dominated

:20:56. > :21:04.four years ago. And the winner is... Emeli Sande! Awards galore,

:21:05. > :21:07.bestselling debut album, and performing for President Obama. A

:21:08. > :21:12.little bit overwhelmed, to be honest, especially when it was going

:21:13. > :21:17.on, I wasn't taking in every moment and really reflecting on the days.

:21:18. > :21:22.When I had time off and looked back at old photos, you know, I felt

:21:23. > :21:25.proud of not just myself but the whole team around me, because we

:21:26. > :21:32.were really on a journey together from performing here 15 years ago to

:21:33. > :21:38.performing for Obama. The fame came at a price. There were definitely

:21:39. > :21:43.points where I did feel very tired, and things were going to fast. This

:21:44. > :21:48.time around, I want to make sure I have put aside personal time and do

:21:49. > :21:53.not... Like take it seriously, you know? This time it is important for

:21:54. > :21:58.me, if I have a day off, don't go into the studio, just enjoy that

:21:59. > :22:03.peace and time to reflect. But tonight is a homecoming for Emeli

:22:04. > :22:05.Sande, with family, friends and fans, a fresh beginning, a new

:22:06. > :22:09.version of events. Six buildings are in the running

:22:10. > :22:12.for Britain's most prestigious annual architecture award -

:22:13. > :22:14.the Riba Stirling Prize. This year, an art gallery,

:22:15. > :22:17.a library, a housing estate, have made the shortlist

:22:18. > :22:22.for the prize. The only building in Scotland

:22:23. > :22:24.on the shortlist is the Riverside campus

:22:25. > :22:26.of the City of Glasgow College. The overarching brief

:22:27. > :22:43.was to create a new community, a super campus, drawing together

:22:44. > :22:45.three different colleges Our brief was to create

:22:46. > :22:50.a new single campus, It was very important

:22:51. > :22:56.that the architects understood how to work from a classroom level right

:22:57. > :23:01.through to a specialist workshop, right through to the inspiring

:23:02. > :23:08.open spaces in the grand atrium. There are very few buildings that

:23:09. > :23:10.properly engage with the Clyde. This location for the maritime

:23:11. > :23:13.college and school of engineering was a gift to the project,

:23:14. > :23:15.where we could really engage the building with the Clyde

:23:16. > :23:35.and through that with the city. There's an amazing series

:23:36. > :23:37.of classrooms, some general, to study shipping-chart work,

:23:38. > :23:39.some specialist, where they can actually get hands-on

:23:40. > :23:41.experience in tying knots Some are high-technology classrooms,

:23:42. > :23:44.that probably are five They can actually have a simulation

:23:45. > :23:47.of the bridge of a supertanker It is an almost identical layout,

:23:48. > :23:50.instruments and screens to what the ship's captain

:23:51. > :23:54.and engineer would see. The facilities link up,

:23:55. > :23:57.so you can have us on the simulator as well as having

:23:58. > :24:01.the engine room workshop, being able to call down

:24:02. > :24:06.as if on a ship. Some six floors beneath,

:24:07. > :24:08.are actually a large ship's working engine,

:24:09. > :24:11.which we bought from the industry The engineers are trained,

:24:12. > :24:18.not only to plan issues but to repair and maintain

:24:19. > :24:25.the working ship's engine. We wanted to create a building

:24:26. > :24:27.with a civic presence, we have an embossed white concrete

:24:28. > :24:30.base, on the riverside walkway, and a very simple curtain

:24:31. > :24:36.walling facade above. These modular facades

:24:37. > :24:39.were specifically redolant of 19th century Victorian facades in

:24:40. > :24:51.a lot of buildings in Glasgow. The staff team can be truly proud

:24:52. > :24:54.of a cohesive project. It proves that with a brilliant

:24:55. > :24:56.client, brilliant architect, you can achieve a unique,

:24:57. > :25:06.iconic and world-class building. You can see all our films

:25:07. > :25:09.of the shortlisted buildings now and you can also vote

:25:10. > :25:21.for your favourite one there. Let's take a look at what the

:25:22. > :25:27.weather has in store. I am bringing you news, it has been

:25:28. > :25:34.a beautiful day across the country, there is a Weather Watchers's

:25:35. > :25:38.picture of the sky, very settled for the week ahead, and we can take a

:25:39. > :25:46.look at the pressure charts to see why. We have an expansive area of

:25:47. > :25:51.high pressure that looks like staying with us through the week,

:25:52. > :25:57.pushing any weather systems further out into the Atlantic, so good news

:25:58. > :26:01.for us and for autumn. A dry evening and night, some clear spells

:26:02. > :26:04.initially, more cloud towards the far West, cloud tending to drifting

:26:05. > :26:11.across eastern coastal areas tonight as well. Occasionally strong winds

:26:12. > :26:15.in the West, like inland, temperatures were covering to about

:26:16. > :26:18.nine Celsius. A fine start to the day tomorrow, cloudier initially

:26:19. > :26:23.across eastern areas, the cloud thinning and breaking, so we're

:26:24. > :26:28.looking at a beautiful autumn day once again. No mist and fog like

:26:29. > :26:35.today, am glad to say. Temperatures rising to a respectable 15-16dC, the

:26:36. > :26:38.best sunshine in the West, 17 degrees are towards Glasgow, the

:26:39. > :26:41.West Highlands, over the Western Isles looking pretty good,

:26:42. > :26:47.brightening up here, cloud coming and going over Shetland, a strong

:26:48. > :26:51.south-westerly wind, strong winds in coastal areas throughout the day.

:26:52. > :26:55.That bit of cloud coming and going towards eastern coastal areas,

:26:56. > :27:00.towards the Angus coast, the East Lothian coast, still pretty

:27:01. > :27:04.pleasant, right sunshine, turning hazy. More of the same into the

:27:05. > :27:09.evening, and it stays dry into the overnight period as well. Actually,

:27:10. > :27:13.that things are looking for Wednesday too, and other dry day,

:27:14. > :27:17.cloud initially, thinning and breaking through the day, the best

:27:18. > :27:21.sunshine in the West, quite a breezy day, on Thursday we will see

:27:22. > :27:25.brighter skies in the East, but similar to tomorrow.

:27:26. > :27:30.A reminder of the main news, the British economy is in for a

:27:31. > :27:33.roller-coaster ride as the UK and negotiate its exit from the European

:27:34. > :27:37.Union according to the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, speaking to the

:27:38. > :27:44.Conservative Party conference. That is Reporting Scotland, I am

:27:45. > :27:45.back with the headlines at eight and the late bulletin at
