:01:03. > :01:06.the expansion of Heathrow Airport as opposed to its rival, Gatwick.
:01:07. > :01:10.It described the building of a third runway at Heathrow as the best deal

:01:14. > :01:16.It's expected a final decision by the UK government
:01:17. > :01:33.They may be over 400 miles away, but the future of Heathrow and Gatwick
:01:34. > :01:36.Airport does matter to the Scottish economy. Today the Scottish
:01:37. > :01:41.Government said they would back Heathrow as they had secured a deal
:01:42. > :01:47.to support jobs and growth up here. Increased, more regular flights, it
:01:48. > :01:52.easier to get to London, easier for people to get to us. We want
:01:53. > :01:56.additional direct flights to Scotland too, but people are very
:01:57. > :02:02.interested in the connectivity to the rest of the UK. The Scottish
:02:03. > :02:06.Government and Heathrow have signed a memorandum of understanding,
:02:07. > :02:13.including the creation of over 60,000 jobs over several decades,
:02:14. > :02:19.and ?200 million of construction related work. Prestwick airport is
:02:20. > :02:24.hoping to increase its role as an industrial hub. Aberdeen and
:02:25. > :02:31.Inverness also want better access to Heathrow. It opens up accessibility
:02:32. > :02:35.for the regions, so regions like ours will be competing for
:02:36. > :02:40.additional slots at a reduced rate, which is what Heathrow have said
:02:41. > :02:45.they will do. We have a single flight to and from London Heathrow
:02:46. > :02:50.for us. If it goes ahead at Heathrow, it could be up to two
:02:51. > :02:55.flights a day in as many years. Rival Gatwick and its sister
:02:56. > :03:00.business Edinburgh both say the deal is will make Scottish passengers
:03:01. > :03:05.more reliant on London. Whatever the decision, we need to make sure that
:03:06. > :03:11.Scotland has the connectivity, the flights and services into those
:03:12. > :03:15.airports, to allow our businesses to benefit from the expansion. Other
:03:16. > :03:23.campaigners are sceptical about the boost to business and to the
:03:24. > :03:28.environment. I think the economic benefit of airport expansion has
:03:29. > :03:31.been overestimated, completely ignoring the climate impacts. The
:03:32. > :03:36.Scottish Government have decided what they think is the best for this
:03:37. > :03:39.country. A decision is decided -- expected in about ten days.
:03:40. > :03:42.A decision on whether Heathrow or Gatwick will be expanded
:03:43. > :03:45.will need to be ratified by a vote in the House of Commons.
:03:46. > :03:47.Let's go to our Westminster correspondent, David Porter.
:03:48. > :03:49.David, what will be the political impact of the SNP Government's
:03:50. > :04:00.Potentially, this could be a game changer, and could make it simpler
:04:01. > :04:07.to get the proposals through. The SNP has a block of 54 MPs at
:04:08. > :04:11.Westminster, so it could make things far clearer. The fact that the
:04:12. > :04:14.Scottish Government and the SNP are throwing their weight behind
:04:15. > :04:20.Heathrow could make it easier for the UK Government if they decide to
:04:21. > :04:24.back a fourth runway for Heathrow. Heathrow will be a massive
:04:25. > :04:29.infrastructure projects, but is also very controversial, and there will
:04:30. > :04:34.be many Tory MPs against it. The fact that the SNP have come on board
:04:35. > :04:41.may mean that Theresa May can give her MPs a free side, because she
:04:42. > :04:47.knows she will have her vote in the bag with those 54 SNP MPs. The SNP
:04:48. > :04:51.says it feels their decision is in the interests of Scotland. It will
:04:52. > :04:56.bring extra jobs to Scotland and vitally, the connectivity. It will
:04:57. > :05:01.make it easier to get people from the rest of the world into London
:05:02. > :05:05.and then on to Scotland, and for Scottish businessmen and travellers
:05:06. > :05:10.who go down to London and can then fly wherever they want in the world.
:05:11. > :05:15.But it is worth making two points. A final decision has not been made
:05:16. > :05:21.yet. The UK Cabinet will be meeting to make that decision in ten days or
:05:22. > :05:24.so. And what ever happens, it will be controversial and there will
:05:25. > :05:30.probably be legal challenges. What ever happens, people will not be
:05:31. > :05:35.using a new airport in the south-east of London, most likely at
:05:36. > :05:42.Heathrow, probably for at least a decade. And another complicated
:05:43. > :05:46.issue, Brexit. The Commons debate today was dominated by pressure on
:05:47. > :05:49.the government to allow MPs to vote on the conditions of leaving.
:05:50. > :05:55.There's been increasing controversy about the role of a devolved
:05:56. > :05:59.parliament in negotiations. Yes, Heathrow aside, the dominant issue
:06:00. > :06:05.at the moment, and for many months and years to come, will be Brexit
:06:06. > :06:08.and how the UK removes itself from the Marine Accident Investigation
:06:09. > :06:24.Branch. Today was the first day back four MPs, and are not going to --...
:06:25. > :06:29.And ministers were questioned on what the role of Scotland would be
:06:30. > :06:34.in those exit talks. What plans does he have to formally involve the
:06:35. > :06:37.devolved administrations? He talked about involving the devolved
:06:38. > :06:42.administrations previously. He now talks about consulting with the
:06:43. > :06:48.devolved administrations. It is simple. Meet the instruction of the
:06:49. > :06:54.British people, regain control of our borders, our laws and our money,
:06:55. > :06:57.and at the same time, get the best possible access to the European
:06:58. > :07:06.market we can negotiate. Very simple. Ministers insist they want a
:07:07. > :07:09.calm and orderly exit to the EU, but there's a growing of steam here at
:07:10. > :07:13.Westminster for MPs to be given a there's a growing of steam here at
:07:14. > :07:18.greater role. Downing Street says MPs will not get the chance to vote
:07:19. > :07:26.on the negotiating strategy, but there are hints tonight that when a
:07:27. > :07:33.final deal is reached with Europe, then MPs may get a vote.
:07:34. > :07:36.The timeline for Brexit may be unclear, but it will affect us all -
:07:37. > :07:40.Such is the City of Glasgow's concern that it's commissioned
:07:41. > :07:42.a report highlighting the challenges and opportunities of Brexit.
:07:43. > :07:43.It's also got a wish-list for the politicians,
:07:44. > :08:02.The UK as a whole has decided to get out of the European Union.
:08:03. > :08:09.That was the result. Do we know yet what it means? This morning, Glasgow
:08:10. > :08:13.City Council published a report on the challenges facing the city after
:08:14. > :08:21.Brexit. The most important is the potential loss of EU structuring
:08:22. > :08:25.funds, totalling ?780 million, which pay for training and development
:08:26. > :08:31.programmes. The council wants that money guaranteed by Westminster and
:08:32. > :08:36.Holyrood, but is that likely? Lets not navel gaze about imagined
:08:37. > :08:40.constitutional arrangements. We need pragmatic proposals to give
:08:41. > :08:44.confidence back to the business community, which is about bringing
:08:45. > :08:49.investment forward and finding ways we can make sure European structural
:08:50. > :08:56.funds are still kept in the Glasgow economy. The report also calls on
:08:57. > :09:00.the ?1 billion city deal to be accelerated, fast forwarding the
:09:01. > :09:06.proposed rail link to Glasgow exports -- Glasgow Airport.
:09:07. > :09:11.Glasgow's strengths include its entertainment, second only to
:09:12. > :09:16.London's West End. A weaker pound could bring more tourist shoppers.
:09:17. > :09:22.Business leaders fear their concerns are not being taken seriously. At
:09:23. > :09:27.the very best we need to continue making the arguments. It may feel
:09:28. > :09:31.the government is taking an anti-business perspective at
:09:32. > :09:37.Westminster at the moment, and that is a dangerous place to be. Academic
:09:38. > :09:43.leaders are also worried. They say 15,000 foreign students are in the
:09:44. > :09:50.city. More than 6000 of those are from the European Union. ?25 million
:09:51. > :09:52.worth of grants from the EU go to Strathclyde University alone.
:09:53. > :09:58.Council and business people know they will have to work hard to
:09:59. > :10:00.protect Glasgow during Brexit. They know that other cities across the UK
:10:01. > :10:04.are clamouring just as loudly. Police searching for a 15-year-old
:10:05. > :10:06.girl last seen on the banks of the River Tay say a body has been
:10:07. > :10:10.recovered from the water. Kathleen Harkin was last seen
:10:11. > :10:12.on Saturday evening in Perth. Police Scotland said a female
:10:13. > :10:14.was taken from the river near St Maydoes and efforts
:10:15. > :10:17.to identify the body were ongoing. The teenager's family
:10:18. > :10:18.has been informed. A man has died from injuries
:10:19. > :10:21.sustained in a fall on Ben Nevis. The incident happened
:10:22. > :10:24.on the North Face of the mountain on Friday evening when the alarm

:10:28. > :10:30.the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team and airlifted from the scene
:10:31. > :10:33.during the early Police have thanked rescuers
:10:34. > :10:36.for their courageous efforts carried out in the dark
:10:37. > :10:40.and in difficult conditions. Police are investigating
:10:41. > :10:43.whether the death of a 56-year-old man at a flat in North Ayrshire
:10:44. > :10:46.is linked to attacks on two other The man's body was discovered
:10:47. > :10:52.at the flat in Stevenston Police are looking at possible links

:11:01. > :11:04.for a serious injury The pair were found at a property
:11:05. > :11:08.on Misk Knowes. Leaked documents have shown that
:11:09. > :11:11.Royal Bank of Scotland sought to profit by buying up assets
:11:12. > :11:13.cheaply from struggling businesses The documents reveal bank staff
:11:14. > :11:20.could boost their bonuses by finding businesses which could be squeezed,
:11:21. > :11:23.in what was described internally Our Business and Economy Editor
:11:24. > :11:40.Douglas Fraser is here. This is about a division of the
:11:41. > :11:44.Royal Bank of Scotland, which took on business customers which had got
:11:45. > :11:49.into trouble in the wake of the financial crash. The idea is they
:11:50. > :11:53.either give these business customers in intensive care and help them turn
:11:54. > :12:01.around, or they pulled the plug to protects the banks interest in the
:12:02. > :12:07.creditors paying their dues. What is different about the global
:12:08. > :12:09.restructuring group is that there have been some serious allegations
:12:10. > :12:13.restructuring group is that there that they could move the goalposts,
:12:14. > :12:19.whether their loan conditions were being met, just by revaluing the
:12:20. > :12:25.assets of customers' businesses. There are bonuses to be made. You
:12:26. > :12:30.could refer companies, and 12,000 companies were put into this GRG at
:12:31. > :12:35.a time of big crisis for the economy. There may have been a
:12:36. > :12:39.crisis of confidence in the big bank buying assets from companies forced
:12:40. > :12:45.into administration. And it's being alleged that the bank pulled the
:12:46. > :12:49.plug on profitable companies and wrecked lives in the process. Today
:12:50. > :12:54.we got evidence supporting some of these allegations. The people
:12:55. > :13:00.running this division were said to be doing it quite aggressively. The
:13:01. > :13:03.bank said there was no evidence that it deliberately sank viable
:13:04. > :13:10.companies, but it does concede it let down some of its business
:13:11. > :13:14.customers. So it is more reputational bad news for RBS. How
:13:15. > :13:20.get the bank back on its feet? This get the bank back on its feet? This
:13:21. > :13:25.-- the really big mistakes at RBS were part of greed and not really
:13:26. > :13:28.understanding what they were doing, and they paid compensation for
:13:29. > :13:33.mis-selling financial products. In this case it looks like permanent
:13:34. > :13:38.damage to customers, and that is the most important trusting relationship
:13:39. > :13:41.of all. And it followed the notorious Goodwin Erie, when things
:13:42. > :13:51.were supposed to be getting better. The regulation will enquiry is due
:13:52. > :13:56.to be published. They will get into court early next year. For RBS it is
:13:57. > :14:02.one of the two big obstacles it needs to get over, the other one
:14:03. > :14:04.being litigation in the US over the alleged misleading shareholders over
:14:05. > :14:10.how deep its problems were eight years ago. More on this problem --

:14:42. > :14:44.A survey to mark World Mental Health Day suggests a significant
:14:45. > :14:48.number of us don't look after our psychological well-being.
:14:49. > :14:51.So taking time out to do just that is the message
:14:52. > :14:53.of a Scotland-wide arts festival beginning today.
:14:54. > :15:04.Our arts correspondent Pauline McLean reports.
:15:05. > :15:09.Experts in short trousers is a piece of theatre for five-year-olds and
:15:10. > :15:14.their families. These aliens have been crash landing into spaces
:15:15. > :15:18.across Scotland. This morning, it was Kelvingrove Museum. It is really
:15:19. > :15:22.lovely to come at it at such a young age because it is about finding
:15:23. > :15:24.spaces to realise that people are different and we obviously a group
:15:25. > :15:31.of aliens so we are very different but also a space to recognise what
:15:32. > :15:35.people are strong pound. What began ten years ago as a small film
:15:36. > :15:39.Showcase has since become a major festival, alongside films, there is
:15:40. > :15:46.theatre, exhibitions and music. In all, some 300 events across the
:15:47. > :15:50.country. Among them, new touring show by sit -- about Syd Barrett,
:15:51. > :15:55.the original lead singer of Pink Floyd in the 1960s. The band have
:15:56. > :16:00.said that themselves, that back then there wasn't a great deal known
:16:01. > :16:03.about a lot of these issues and people are now much more aware and
:16:04. > :16:07.much more knowledgeable and they might have been able to get in the
:16:08. > :16:10.help and treatment he needed at the time. Today, that has changed, not
:16:11. > :16:16.least down to festivals like this where mental health can be discussed
:16:17. > :16:20.openly and advice and support offered. Mental health being much
:16:21. > :16:23.more talked about in popular culture, so a lot of TV shows deal
:16:24. > :16:28.with mental health very well now and very sensitively. We bring together
:16:29. > :16:32.organisations and artists and individuals that might not otherwise
:16:33. > :16:36.worked together, which I think is quite a powerful thing. But there is
:16:37. > :16:40.still some way to go. Although the vast majority of Scots consider
:16:41. > :16:42.their mental health as important as physical well-being, at least a
:16:43. > :16:46.quarter of us admit to not finding the time to do anything about it.
:16:47. > :16:48.And that is the message of this year's Festival, find the time and
:16:49. > :16:50.use it well. A former prisoner of war,
:16:51. > :16:53.who credited the Nagasaki atomic Gordon Highlander Alistair Urquhart
:16:54. > :17:00.said the bomb prevented a Japanese He was blown off his feet

:17:13. > :17:23.in the oil industry and what it means for Scotland's oil workers
:17:24. > :17:27.opens in Dundee tomorrow. It's in a very unusual setting, as
:17:28. > :17:35.Andrew Anderson's been finding out. Oil rigs like these are a common
:17:36. > :17:41.sight at the port of Dundee but now it has a more unusual link with that
:17:42. > :17:45.industry. Within the port, in the shadow of these rigs, stand the
:17:46. > :17:50.giant metal shed. In here, ships were once built but now it has been
:17:51. > :17:55.transformed into a theatre. They don't want to be thought of as soft!
:17:56. > :18:00.They want to beat off than whalebone! This is Gabi, a play
:18:01. > :18:03.examining what oil has meant to Scotland and to those who bring it
:18:04. > :18:09.ashore. A hugely important subject in Scotland in terms of where the
:18:10. > :18:11.oil revenues went, and where a lot of the profits... There is thought
:18:12. > :18:15.that a lot of the profits should have stayed within the borders of
:18:16. > :18:18.Scotland as they did in Norway. The only thing you have is a gauge and
:18:19. > :18:22.it's going down and if it goes to nothing, the well is dead and you
:18:23. > :18:26.are dead in the water. The theatre company are well-known for staging
:18:27. > :18:30.performances in unusual locations. In the past, that has include
:18:31. > :18:36.airports, car parks and climbing centres. It means the company has to
:18:37. > :18:39.build a theatre from scratch. We have to work very closely with the
:18:40. > :18:42.people in the port to make sure we had enough electricity. We have to
:18:43. > :18:49.bring everything that you see with us, which does add to sort of
:18:50. > :18:55.logistical planning and the financial planning of a production
:18:56. > :18:58.like this. And as soon as got your pressure, that natural gas is the
:18:59. > :19:03.natural energy that lets the oil right out of the columns. Crude will
:19:04. > :19:06.be staged here for the next two weeks. The company hopes this
:19:07. > :19:10.industrial setting will help the audience experience what life is
:19:11. > :19:10.like out on the rigs. Andrew Anderson, Reporting Scotland,

:19:41. > :19:44.me, working on maybe some other things that did not quite go to plan
:19:45. > :19:47.on Saturday night. I have to say, if it affected their spirits at all,
:19:48. > :19:49.the players are hiding it pretty well but there has been an
:19:50. > :19:53.acknowledgement that they should have done better on Saturday night.
:19:54. > :19:56.Gordon Strachan has reiterated his view, though, that the second-half
:19:57. > :19:59.performance at least was better and that is what he is asking the
:20:00. > :20:06.players to take into the full 90 minutes against tomorrow night. The
:20:07. > :20:08.thing that Gordon Strachan has also acknowledged is that second place
:20:09. > :20:10.might well be the best Scotland can now hope for and that would mean a
:20:11. > :20:16.play-off at best. Gordon Strachan's popularity in
:20:17. > :20:19.Slovakia is undiminished but as he and his squad arrived this
:20:20. > :20:24.afternoon, perhaps for the first time, the same can't be said about
:20:25. > :20:28.his standing with Scotland fans. These supporters and thousands like
:20:29. > :20:32.them have overwhelmingly backed the manager, despite the failure to
:20:33. > :20:36.reach Euro 2016. But have their attitude begun to change in recent
:20:37. > :20:39.weeks? It seemed to turn quite quickly and I don't know why. A
:20:40. > :20:42.couple of friendlies and it seemed to turn over the course of the Italy
:20:43. > :20:48.and France games and they were just friendlies against two decent teams.

:21:08. > :21:13.us expect, and the footballing world, that England would win it. It
:21:14. > :21:18.is a crazy gang here, this group we have got. So you never know. Second,
:21:19. > :21:23.yes, we will definitely go and get second -- try to get second, and if
:21:24. > :21:28.we end up getting first, then great but second is the target as we sit
:21:29. > :21:31.here. There will be personnel changes from the team that drew with
:21:32. > :21:35.Lithuania and although absent from this training session, Darren
:21:36. > :21:39.Fletcher is determined to be involved. If I'm able to play, of
:21:40. > :21:44.course, I'm desperate to play. I've got nothing really to say for
:21:45. > :21:45.myself, obviously, club games are important but representing your
:21:46. > :21:54.country is equally as important. Darren Fletcher is sitting a few
:21:55. > :21:56.yards away from me watching a training session and he will have a
:21:57. > :22:00.fitness test tomorrow to gauge whether he is able to play. As for
:22:01. > :22:04.Slovakia, they are even more dire need of a victory tomorrow night, no
:22:05. > :22:07.points from the opening two games and you could say that Scotland are
:22:08. > :22:09.catching them, the second seeds in the group, at a pretty good time.
:22:10. > :22:11.Thank you for joining us. A police officer from Jedburgh has
:22:12. > :22:14.been nominated for a national award because of the bricks he keeps
:22:15. > :22:19.in his garden shed. Mark Cranston will find out
:22:20. > :22:22.in the next few days if he's won When did you actually start
:22:23. > :22:33.to meet him and ask him, "Why?" When did you actually start
:22:34. > :22:36.collecting them? Brick collecting, first of all, about five years ago
:22:37. > :22:39.collecting them? Brick collecting, seriously. But he had an interest
:22:40. > :22:43.from a boy? Yes, history in general, from a boy, from an early age. Well,
:22:44. > :22:48.this is it, this is the shared with from a boy, from an early age. Well,
:22:49. > :22:52.my bricks. This is amazing! You have got one or two, haven't you? Look at
:22:53. > :22:57.a brick mark, the name of the brick and what you delve into it and have
:22:58. > :23:01.a research into it, it is amazing bank of it goes into so many strands
:23:02. > :23:07.of Scottish history. Social, family, military, even, industrial. It just
:23:08. > :23:13.never stops giving, to be honest. You get a lot out of it? You enjoy
:23:14. > :23:20.it? For sure, I will go away on trips, hunting through dumps, Woods,
:23:21. > :23:23.old river banks, etc. The thrill, if I can put it that way, finding a
:23:24. > :23:27.brick that has not been recorded one I haven't got is great, yeah, it's
:23:28. > :23:35.one more for the collection. What makes good brick? LAUGHTER
:23:36. > :23:40.Are you just interested in all bricks? Absolutely, I mean, I come
:23:41. > :23:42.across, predominantly I am collecting Scottish bricks but I
:23:43. > :23:47.come across English bricks and foreign bricks as well which I keep.
:23:48. > :23:50.I must get five e-mails a week from people all over the world, and I
:23:51. > :23:54.mean all over the world, finding Scottish bricks on the shore. So
:23:55. > :23:59.many bricks went across to Australia, New Zealand and the
:24:00. > :24:03.Americas and many of them were shipwrecked. When you find them, the
:24:04. > :24:06.archaeologists looking at the shipwrecks, they are unable to date
:24:07. > :24:10.them but they come across a named brick and they get in touch to see
:24:11. > :24:14.if I can date the brick and help them out with dating the shipwrecked
:24:15. > :24:20.and therefore put a name to it. And what does it mean to be nominated
:24:21. > :24:23.for the award? It's great. I mean, I do put a lot of hours into it,
:24:24. > :24:28.whether it is searching for the bricks themselves or on the computer
:24:29. > :24:32.will, doing the website. Yes, it is a bit of acknowledgement for myself
:24:33. > :24:35.which is great but more so for the brick itself. It is putting it out
:24:36. > :24:40.there, getting it into the limelight. Good luck to him!
:24:41. > :24:44.Now here's Shelley Jofre with details of Scotland 2016.
:24:45. > :24:49.The night, the Scottish Government throws its weight behind a third
:24:50. > :24:55.runway at Heathrow. How much benefit would that bring to Scotland? And
:24:56. > :24:59.defiant Donald Trump comes out fighting. Has he done enough to his
:25:00. > :25:03.campaign? Join me for all that on more on BBC Two at 10:30pm.
:25:04. > :25:11.Good evening, many of us enjoyed a lovely sunset this evening and
:25:12. > :25:14.plenty in the way a sunny skies as well, especially across the West.
:25:15. > :25:18.You can see from the recent satellite, we had a bit more cloud
:25:19. > :25:21.spreading in from the east with one or two showers across parts of the
:25:22. > :25:24.Borders. As we had through the night, we will continue to see more
:25:25. > :25:28.in the way of clearer skies with some lovely pictures from the
:25:29. > :25:33.Whether Watchers across Kilmarnock, bright blue skies. More cloud across
:25:34. > :25:38.the north-east but still, some lovely bright spells and tonight,
:25:39. > :25:42.clear spells across the West but the risk showers coming in on the breeze
:25:43. > :25:45.in the east. A bit more in the way of cloud by the end of the night and
:25:46. > :25:47.showers across parts of Aberdeenshire and one or two
:25:48. > :25:51.spreading across parts of the Central Belt into Glasgow but they
:25:52. > :25:53.will be light and feeding with clear skies across the Northwest and
:25:54. > :25:57.Dumfries Galloway. Here it will turn a bit chilly once again for
:25:58. > :25:58.some sheltered glens, may be down to freezing with a touch of Frost and
:25:59. > :26:02.some sheltered glens, may be down to some patchy mist and fog once more.
:26:03. > :26:08.Not as expensive as this morning but it will be quite stubborn to clear.
:26:09. > :26:11.Elsewhere, temperatures six - nine or ten. Tomorrow, more cloud
:26:12. > :26:16.compared to today and some showers continuing across the East. Further
:26:17. > :26:21.west, the best of any brightness. If you are heading out around 4pm,
:26:22. > :26:25.Shetland, lots of sunshine in store, closest to the area of high pressure
:26:26. > :26:28.across Scandinavia with lighter wind will stop breezy for Orkney and a
:26:29. > :26:32.good deal of sunshine for the Northwest with temperatures possibly
:26:33. > :26:35.climbing to 14 or 15 once again. Cloudier for the central belt with
:26:36. > :26:39.one or two showers perhaps. Most of them towards the east, towards
:26:40. > :26:44.Dumfries Galloway, sunshine, 14 or 15. High pressure still with us for
:26:45. > :26:48.the time being. It looks as though it will hold on until Friday but the
:26:49. > :26:51.winds are more of an easterly and we are drawing in more moisture from
:26:52. > :26:55.the North Sea so more showers and it will tend to become a bit windy for
:26:56. > :27:00.Wednesday and Thursday, making it feel a bit chilly. For Wednesday,
:27:01. > :27:02.showers mainly in the east with a few drifting further towards the
:27:03. > :27:06.West and along the West Coast, the best of the sunshine but in the
:27:07. > :27:09.breeze, it will start to feel a bit cooler. That is the forecast.
:27:10. > :27:11.Now, a reminder of tonight's main news.
:27:12. > :27:13.The Scottish Government has thrown its weight behind
:27:14. > :27:16.the expansion of Heathrow airport as opposed to its rival Gatwick.
:27:17. > :27:18.It described the building of a third runway at Heathrow
:27:19. > :27:20.as the best deal for Scotland, leading to investment
:27:21. > :27:38.It's expected a final decision by the UK government
:27:39. > :27:43.Until then, from everyone on the team, right across the country,
