Ebola nurse Pauline Cafferkey is taken to hospital by ambulance

The Scottish government bans the extraction of gas by burning

A warning that Brexit could cost Scotland

A striken rig is finally being loaded aboard a salvage vessel,

two months after running aground on the coast of Lewis.

And Jack and Victor are back, as Still Game returns to our screens

The Scottish nurse Pauline Cafferkey, who contracted the Ebola

virus in west Africa, is back in hospital in Glasgow tonight.

She was taken from her home in Cambuslang by ambulance

with a police escort earlier today, after becoming ill.

Our reporter Aileen Clarke is at Queen Elizabeth

Pauline Cafferkey is in a stable condition and she is undergoing

investigations. The health board have told us that, following a

detailed assessment of her, they can provide reassurance that there is no

risk to the public. She was brought here around 9:30am today by

ambulance from her home and under police escort. She's in the care the

infectious diseases team here at the hospital. They will be carrying out

all these tests. It must be, though, some concern to herself and

disappointment to herself and her family that is, at this point in the

recovery, she's found herself back in hospital once more.

It's just three weeks since Pauline Cafferkey emerged from a hearing in

Edinburgh cleared to go back to nursing. This process has been

upsetting and stressful for Pauline but she's delighted that the panel

is made the decision that she is no case to answer. As she left that

day, she must have been looking forward to continuing with her

nursing career but this morning she forward to continuing with her

was taken from her home in Cambuslang by ambulance under police

escort by hospital in Glasgow. Neighbours expressed concern and

hope for a speedy recovery. Shocked. She was making progress, out and

about and going to work. She's been through so much and, each time she

gets out, she thinks she's on the road to recovery and then she gets

something else. It's a shame. Unfortunately she contracted the

disease kind of others. -- trying to help others. Pauline Cafferkey

contracted Ebola after going out to nurse patients in the Ebola outbreak

in Sierra Leone. On her return home, she became critically ill and

complex arrangements were put in place to transport her to a

specialist unit in London, where she stayed for a month. Last October,

the virus re-emerged causing meningitis and she was taken again

to London. In February this year, another complication, another

readmission to the specialist unit. In September, the hearing into what

she had told health officials when she arrived back in the UK from

Sierra Leone cleared her to go back to nursing. This morning, she was

taken back to hospital as a patient. She spoke a year ago about how she

didn't really know how herself would hold up. Is taken me a good few

months to recover. You don't know long-term either. Hopefully this is

the end of it, but you just don't know. Pauline has been back doing

some work at a health centre in Blantyre, and local people today

wished her well. I think there will be a lot of concern and sympathy for

her. You don't want anybody to go through it, especially somebody

trying to help people. She's a good person, the work she does. I'm sorry

to hear it and I hope she comes out of it OK. Of course, we should

remember that, in the last couple of years, Ms Cafferkey's immune system

is dating a right good battering, so it might be the case that, as long

as she is in a stable condition, the doctors will want to get the results

of all the tests today before reaching a decision about whether

she needs to go back to the specialist unit in London where she

has been treated before or whether they can adequately treat her here

in Glasgow. The Scottish government is banning

the controversial practice The technique involves

burning difficult-to-mine coal under the ground,

and capturing the gas it gives off Environmental campaigners

are against the practice but the Conservatives argue it has

the potential to boost the economy. Here's our Environment

correspondent, Kevin Keane. It lies deep beneath the rippling

waves and is causing alarm to be toonie Unity is along its banks but

today the monster was silenced. -- to be communities. That monster is

coal, and this campaign has fought hard for a ban on the controversial

technique to turn it into energy. This process creates huge cavities.

Nobody knows what's above it and nobody can convince us how they are

going to prevent any of it, the gas leaching into old mine workings and

getting to the surface. The technique involves drilling to be

coal seam and getting oxygen. That causes gas to rise back to the

surface where it is captured. And Fife is rife for it. The amount mind

here at the coal face was only the most accessible, just a small

proportion of what exists. Little now remains here of the industry

that these communities were built on. They once supported tens of

thousands of jobs, and some have predicted that gasification would

prompt the revival of coal. The techniques might be different to

fracking but the protests covered them all and today ministers

confirmed what was a first victory for campaigners, as you was banned.

It doesn't come at any price and we have to take a balanced, proportion

of view, listening to the scientific evidence and taking a considered

decision. Don't think that this technology should form part of our

technology makes. Underground coal gasification is very different to

fracking. Last week, the first imported shipment shale gas arrived

in Scotland. The Scottish Conservatives say these technologies

have economic potential. This ban is nothing short of environmental

nimbyism. It's clear that the SNP is happy to allow shale gas to be

imported from Pennsylvania and America and today, when asked, there

was no ban on importing any gas produced this way. For now, one

controversial technology is dead in the water but the bigger battle

against fracking here is still A new report has warned that

Scotland could lose between 30,000 and 80,000 jobs as a

consequence of leaving The report, from the Fraser

of Allander Institute, suggests the impact on the rest

of the UK could be even greater. The issue dominated questions

to the First Minister This from our political

editor Brian Taylor. Scotland trades with the European

Union, and that's potentially affected by Brexit, especially if

tariffs replace free exchange cost date's report commissioned by

Holyrood puts numbers on that. It tracks the extent to which Scotland

disengages from the EU economy. Under the best scenario, the economy

would shrink by at least 2%, shedding 32,000 jobs. Under the

worst scenario, the economy would contract by 5%, costing 80,000 jobs.

The report says that Brexit may have a worse impact than on the remainder

of the UK because Scotland is less exposed. -- a worse impact on the

remainder. It isn't surprising when you think of the trade composition

of the Scottish economy and the UK economy. Nicola Sturgeon said the

report underlined the need to minimise any disruption caused by

Brexit but she was challenged by Ruth Davidson of the Tories to say

what she would do. My position is to face up to the realities ahead of

us, to mitigate risks and take advantage of opportunities, and this

Parliament now faces a choice about whether to put the lions share of

its efforts into examining practical solutions or simply complaining

about the results. Which is it to be? Ms Sturgeon said the Tories

brought about Brexit. Unlike Miss Davidson, my position hasn't

changed. I continue to think that Brexit is a bad idea and I continue

to think it's my responsibility to protect Scotland from it. These

foreign workers are our neighbours, friends and families. The Lib Dems

condemned the idea. The First Minister offered a suggestion. To

call on the UK Government to stop using human beings as bargaining

chips and give them the guaranteed right to stay where they belong,

here in Scotland. Supporters of Brexit said it would open

opportunities for other trades. The report authors concede, but

circumstances may change with passage of time and under political

direction but, as of today, the Scottish take on Brexit is wholly

negative. The Auditor General's warning that

two Scottish health boards are facing prolonged

and considerable NHS Tayside needs to make savings

of ?175 million over the next five years,

while the bill for the new NHS24 IT The Auditor General said

the difficulties faced by the boards would "continue to have an impact

on the way they operate The operation to remove the oil rig

the Transocean Winner, which was stranded on the Western

Isles last month, is well under way. It's been positioned over a heavy

lifting vessel in Broad Bay on the east coast of Lewis,

and it's now being slowly If the operation's successful,

the rig will be transported The rig started its short journey to

the heavy lift ship this morning. The same attempt last week had to be

abandoned when a heavy swell from the north meant it was too dangerous

to try and get the 17,000 tonne rig on board. The rig was nursed by four

small tugs. It suffered damage when it grounded and progress at the be

slowed as it moved towards the ship. The heavy lift ship was let down

into the sea overnight to a depth of 23 metres until only the bow and

stern were visible. It was necessary to rip... The right wing had to be

pulled across the deck and held in position. More and more of the rig

became visible as the hawk threw off ballast. The rig is now on the deck

of the hawk and it is taking off ballast to take the hollowed out of

the water. We'll take some hours but then will come the work to tie the

oil rig firmly to the deck before it's transported away to Turkey. The

forecast for the next few days is unusually benign for the north west

Scotland and today temperatures reached 18 Celsius as salvage teams

watched. Salvage will start perhaps later tonight and suddenly tomorrow

morning, making sure the rig is securely fastened to the deck before

the next move, which should take it out of Tim Peake -- out of Broad

Bay. If the weather is favourable we will stay here to do the fastenings.

If it looks as though it's going to change, we may take her round

towards Stornoway. But the plan is to keep her there. The unexpected

arrival of the rig in August has brought many benefits to Highland

businesses. In the next few days, the rig and the ship will be

scrutinised closely before it begins its journey to Turkey.

Judges and sheriffs are to be given new guidelines to ensure consistency

It's part of a move to improve public confidence

Our Home Affairs Correspondent, Reevel Alderson reports.

How do sheriffs and judges decide what sentence to pass? There are a

number of factors they have to take into consideration. I will discount

the sentence for the reasons I have indicated, namely the degree of

guilt in advance of trial, the expression of remorse... But cameras

are rarely and loud in Scottish courts so few people here these

reasons. Even then, like in the case of the death of business, victims or

families can feel that the judge got it wrong. -- the death of this

nurse. The driver in this case was jailed for six years, which his

victim's family called a sick joke. The Scottish sentencing council is

working on ways to ensure that judges impose a fair sentence,

particularly in driving cases, and to explain to the public are are

arrived at. The range is something I think people have difficulty getting

to blame -- to grips with. The blame worthiness can vary hugely, but of

course the impact and affect on members of the public is enormous

and it's an area in which the public has considerable interest and

judges, because of the wide range of offences can be encompassed, have

considerable anxiety about sentencing. Wood sentencing in

wildlife crimes are also to be studied. -- sentencing in wildlife

crimes are also to be studied. Victims groups have welcomed this

work is in positive mood. For far too long, victims of crime and the

general public have had very little understanding of what the sentencing

decision process is, and that has caused confusion is potentially a

perception of inaccurate practice or inconsistencies in practice across

Scotland. We feel strongly that this will counteract that. Be sentencing

council hopes that its work will make the decisions of courts easier

for the public to understand. Feeding people is a very important

part of the Sikh religion, and every temple offers free food

to anyone who goes there. This week, Sikhs across the world

are taking this principle a step further by serving free food -

known as Langar - on the streets They hope to target those in need,

and to promote peace. These women in Edinburgh meet every

week to prepare food for anyone who comes to the temple, regardless of

faith or background. And, for the past two years, they have been

making extra portions on Wednesday past two years, they have been

to take onto the streets of the capital. We make a curry with

potatoes and rice. We make lentils and rice. We also give hot tea,

Coffey, hot chocolate, sweets, biscuits. We are here to serve the

Coffey, hot chocolate, sweets, community. The stall is set up in

Coffey, hot chocolate, sweets, the centre of Edinburgh for anyone

who is hungry to come and eat. In this Langar Week, the scene is being

repeated in many countries. Some people are busy and we thought we

would do Langar Week every year. We are Sikhs who are here. Giving out

food and water. We are here to help anyone in anyway. The smell and

taste of the carriers cheering up an autumn evening. Many people seek

Langar as a welcome service. It is terrific. It is very charitable.

Bighearted of them. If it was not for themselves, the homeless would

be hungry on a Wednesday night. Even after Langar Week the Sikhs in

Edinburgh are hoping to increase the amount of free street food they

provide. A look now at other stories

from across the country. The death of a trawlerman

who was "catapulted" overboard while working on deck,

was "entirely forseeable" according The crew member -

Annang Nuerty from Ghana - was on the Aquarius off Aberdeen

last August when he was thrown from the deck during

what Marine Accident Investigators called an "unnecessarily

hazardous" procedure. The long-running legal dispute over

the cost of repairs to the runway extension at Sumburgh Airport

has been settled. Shetland Islands Council,

which was a partner in the project, has agreed to pay around

five and a half million pounds to Highlands

and Islands Airports Limited, Safety checks are being carried out

at an Inverness secondary school, after a pane of glass fell out

of a window and injured a pupil. The boy was taken to Raigmore

hospital after the incident Inverness High School has been

closed to S1 to S3 pupils today, while repairs

were being carried out. energy-from-waste plant in Aberdeen

have been backed by councillors despite concerns about the possible

environmental impact. The scheme at East Tullos

would provide low cost energy and reduce the amount of waste

going to landfill. Lerwick Harbour's busiest cruise

season has just come to a close. The final arrival of the year called

in at the Shetland capital this morning, bringing the total number

of ships to a record 79, and the number of passengers

to well over 50,000. A thief has been caught on CCTV

stealing a charity bucket About ?90 was taken

from Tapa in Leith. At first the owners thought

the bucket had been misplaced, but they checked their CCTV when it

failed to turn up two weeks later. As Scotland's footballers prepare

for their home match in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers,

the manager's been talking about how he deals with

the stresses of the job. Ahead of the game against Lithuania

at Hampden, Gordon Strachan also told us there's a serious purpose

to the confrontational way Far from the madding crowd and away

from prying eyes, apart from the chap on the bike, the Scotland squad

look relaxed at their training camp. So does the manager. However... I

just have to qualify from the will just have to qualify from the will

-- for the World Cup. I need to make sure I can protect my family. It can

affect you. It can affect the people round about me. It can affect how I

train with the players, how I treat the players and the staff. Yet the

man in charge admits to being less worried about how he treats his

media inquisitors. It is a battlefield out there. People don't

realise, it is usually 32 against one. The 32 are looking for a

headline and I need to try to protect my players at all times. He

is adept at deploying the verbal custard pie, cutting a line of

questioning dead. Last week he was asked about the resignation of Sam

Allardyce. I do not think anyone is interested in 15 seconds of answers.

Another weaponry that is not a weapon in the armoury is the decoy.

A lot has changed since 2007. Who would have thought you would have an

iWatch. It is a game. Sometimes you get that headline you want and it

makes me feel terrible for two days. The sound bite, something that makes

me feel terrible, or I win and I just give the information pertinent

for that news conference and I win. I hope, at the end of the day, you

put your hands up and think, that was a good fight. We will see you

next week for the next round. The next round is tomorrow. Mr Strachan

will take on reporters in his pre-match conference for the game

against Lithuania on Saturday. The hit comedy Still Game returns

to the small screen tomorrow night. Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill -

who first created the show for the stage at the Edinburgh Festival -

say they decided to revive Jack and Victor after the huge success

of their live show two years ago. Our arts correspondent,

Pauline McLean, reports. It is nine years since they were

last on screen but fans cannot get enough of Jack and V. 100,000 people

applied for tickets to see the first episode at the Glasgow cinema. It is

just Scottish humour. All the good comedy. Everyone getting together to

watch it. We'll want to get together and have fun as a family. The

characters remain 75 but the world around them has changed. We said,

characters remain 75 but the world who would have the internet out of

all these characters? This was Google before Google or she would

know all about everyone. Who is it, please? But the internet has also

given the show and international platform and a massive new following

was two years ago, they returned to the stage with a sell-out run at the

Hydro. They have since announced another live show. We had a good

idea from when they wrote at the Edinburgh Festival all ago there was

something that could travel. We took it to Canada and Dublin. We took it

to Canada. The North of England. All over. The characters have heart stop

people have their favourites. They love them. Maybe they all know some

like those characters. They love the way they interact. We are fans of

shows which make you feel good rather than cynical or whatever. We

like sitcoms where you can lose yourself for half an hour with a

bunch of people you feel like you know. We could see a few more

series? Are you going to keep going till you are 75? We will put the

make up on a money in our pockets. Good stuff.

Time now for the latest weather forecast.

Another beautiful day across the country. On the satellite we did

have some cloud melting away to allow much more in red sunshine. The

best in the sunshine in the north-west where temperatures

reached 17 Celsius, well above the seasonal average. Making it one of

the warmer spots across the whole of the UK. Here is the proof. Glorious

pictures from one of our weather watchers in Fort William in the

Highlands. This evening and overnight it is staying largely dry.

The cloud will tend to increase, coming in on fresh, south-easterly

winds. The cloud may be thick enough for one or two showers, most likely

across southern parts of the borders and the Solway coast. Under clearer

skies, temperatures could dip down to three - six Celsius. Tomorrow

morning fairly cloudy to start. Any showers will die away and we will

see much more in the way of sunshine especially by the afternoon. The

best of it will be across the north-west of the country. Towards

4pm tomorrow, a good deal around for Shetland. Still breezy for Orkney. A

bit of an east/ West split. In the east, more in the way of cloud and

sunny spells. The best of the sunshine further towards the West.

Temperatures around 13, to maybe 15, 16 degrees. High pressure is

dominating our weather across Scandinavia and towards Norway. The

wind direction does become more of an easterly as we look to the end of

the week and the weekend. Drawing in more in the way of cloud and also

the risk of a few showers. By the time you reach the weekend, there

will still be plenty of sunshine, most likely towards the west of the

country. In the Eastern increase chance of just a few light showers.

For all of us as we head through to the weekend, it will turn a little

cooler. Temperatures back down to average by Sunday. That is the

forecast. Now, a reminder of

tonight's main news. Scottish nurse Pauline Cafferkey,

who contracted the the Ebola virus She was taken to hospital

from her home by ambulance under police escort earlier today

after becoming ill. I'll be back with

the headlines at 8. And the late bulletin just

after the Ten O'clock News. Until then, from everyone

on the team - right across the country -

have a very good evening.
