and on BBC One, we now join the BBC's news teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The Deputy First Minister promises more funding for EU students | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
and tells the SNP conference that their rights | :00:09. | :00:09. | |
United in grief - the family and friends of Mike Towell | :00:10. | :00:20. | |

Packing up the Burrell Collection as the Glasgow museum prepares | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
Stewart Hogg's delighted to be staying at Glasgow Warriors, | :00:26. | :00:36. | |
but will the team be happy after tonight's | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
And a new statue commemorates the women and children left behind | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
EU students in Scotland have been promised funding for another year. | :00:42. | :01:03. | |
But John Swinney - who made the announcement at the SNP | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
conference in Glasgow - also challenged UK ministers | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
to guarantee the right for EU students to stay | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
The conference also debated whether this was the right time | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
for the SNP to call another referendum on Scottish independence. | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
This from our political editor, Brian Taylor. | :01:20. | :01:28. | |
This woman is run Sweden, just one of 2500 EU students at Aberdeen | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
University. After the Brexit filled the university promised their study | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
places were secure but still, they fret. For themselves and for those | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
who want to follow them. A lot of my friends are EU students so it was | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
worrying for every single person. At the SNP conference John Swinney | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
promised to extend funding to EU students for another year, 42017 and | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
18, but he wants UK ministers to guarantee their right to stay | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
regardless of Brexit negotiations. These people are not cards to be | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
played. They are fellow human beings, to use them as negotiating | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
chips is obscene and this party and this SNP government will have none | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
of it. The conference broadened the by welcoming family from Australia | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
who eventually won the right to stay in Scotland. Alex Salmond said the | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
story showed the Conservatives' true intent. If we stick to London room | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
we know what exactly lies in store- boils down to its essence, a closed, | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
intolerant backward looking society. Theresa May's little England. The | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
party Deputy Leader had an explicit warning for Theresa May. If you | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
continue to ignore the expressed will of the people of Scotland, if | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
you refuse to even consider how we might protect Scotland's place in | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
the EU, NBN no doubt, your days as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
are numbered. But does it all add up to an early referendum? Delegates | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
are not entirely certain. Some argue yes. The message to the Prime | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
Minister is this... The days of Scotland being sidelined or over. | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
Redmayne means remain, our voice will be heard. Some say... The next | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
independence referendum must be one that we are confident we can win. | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
When the time is right or the issue is off the agenda for decades. I | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
would urge caution and while I applaud the sentiment of the | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
resolution, my concern is that we're tying the independence referendum | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
solely to the trigger of Brexit. Reflecting on the dilemma, Nicola | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
Sturgeon told delegates, welcome to my world. Welcome, indeed, to post | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
Brexit politics. Rarely pure, never simple. | :03:57. | :03:57. | |
And Brian joins us now from the conference in Glasgow. | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
That debate about a second referendum reflected a genuine | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
It does, a genuine decent dignified honourable division of opinion, not | :04:03. | :04:17. | |
an objective, they yearn for independence but over the strategy | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
for bringing that about and whether to hold an early referendum. Those | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
for bringing that about and whether who say perhaps an early referendum | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
is justified say that the UK that was on offer in the referendum in | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
2014 has changed as a result of the Brexit vote, it is no longer there. | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
They also characterise opinion among the right in England as being | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
xenophobic and they believe Scotland will resile from that and that | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
argues for independence. Those counselling caution say this is a | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
time of uncertainty caused by the Brexit vote and does an early | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
referendum not add to that uncertainty? They also argue that | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
perhaps there are some people who supported independence in 2014 but | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
do not particularly favoured the European Union, perhaps ordered to | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
leave in the referendum earlier this year. In other words, the Brexit | :05:08. | :05:16. | |
vote being a trigger to hold the referendum, but is this the button | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
to push to get the yes vote? It is a genuine dilemma for the SNP. | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
Hundreds of mourners have attended the funeral | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
of the boxer Mike Towell, who died after a bout | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
The service at St Andrew's Cathedral in Dundee was also | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
attended by his opponent, the Welsh boxer Dale Evans. | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
It's emerged that in the weeks before the fight Mike Towell, | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
who was 25, had been suffering from headaches but had put | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
The family of Mike Towell say the two weeks since his death have been | :05:40. | :05:57. | |
surreal. This morning, they gathered at St Andrew's Cathedral in his | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
Dundee home to say their final goodbye. And there were not alone. | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
Around 300 people joined them, friends, ordinary people from Dundee | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
and members of the boxing fraternity. To pay their respects. | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
Among them was Dale Evans, the fighter who delivered the globe | :06:17. | :06:17. | |
Among them was Dale Evans, the which floored Mike Towell. He later | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
played his own tribute at this mural. In a statement, the family | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
said that Dale Evans had also been through so much and no fault would | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
never lie with him. This was just two boys boxing and doing what they | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
loved best. That spirit of generosity was also evident in the | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
funeral service. One of his friends spoke and he was very humorous, he | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
talked warmly about his life and the upbringing he had, he was a hardy | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
boy with a great sense of humour. A man who was very much loved among | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
friends and family and the boxing community. The funeral is not the | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
only way that Dundee is remembering Mike Towell. There is a huge amount | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
of respect and affection for Mike Towell and his family here in | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
Dundee. But questions remain about the state of his health in the lead | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
up to that fatal fight. The biggest moment of his career! Mike died | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
after his life-support machine was switched off following his collapse | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
in this fight last month. It later emerged he had been suffering from | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
headaches during training. What is clear is that his family is | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
devastated. But they say they will also smile every day at his memory. | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
The two-year-old girl who was killed after being hit by a car | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
in Perthshire has been named as Harlow Edwards from Cupar Angus. | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
Her six-year-old brother and 17-year-old sister were also hit | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
when the car mounted the pavement after being | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
They're both in hospital with serious injuries. | :07:48. | :07:57. | |
The accident happened on the A94 yesterday afternoon. | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
Police say they're very concerned for the welfare of a woman | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
from Ayr who's gone missing with her two children. | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
29-year-old Farah Fadli, who's also known as Farah Gillespie, | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
was last seen by a friend on Wednesday morning. | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
It's believed she was with her ten-year-old son | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
McKenzie and her daughter Eva, who's four. | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
Police say it's very unusual for Farah not to be | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
The human rights group Liberty says it's continuing attempts | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
to have an inquest reopened into the death of a Scottish | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
It follows today's ruling at the High Court in London | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
authorising a fresh inquest into the death of another serviceman | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
Our home affairs correspondent, Reevel Alderson, is here now. | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
Remind us of the background to this, Reevel. | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
The story goes back to March 2002 men Private James Collinson, who was | :08:50. | :08:58. | |
17, in the army training, was found dead from a single gunshot wound, | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
training at the Deepcut Barracks and an inquest was held into the death | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
with an open verdict returned. Since then his parents have tried to find | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
out a little more about what happened. Private Collinson was a | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
fourth young soldier to die at the Deepcut Barracks, where evidence | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
emerged of severe bullying. This was not available to the inquest and | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
since then his parents have asked for the MoD to release mental health | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
records, medical records and also material about how the army cared | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
for their son. Today in a separate case the High Court in London gave | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
permission for a new inquest to be held into the death of Private Sean | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
Benton, the first of these four young soldier to die and the human | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
rights group Liberty had asked for various bits of material from the | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
MoD which had not been available to the inquest and they say that now | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
they also have secured disclosure of similar documents relating to the | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
death of private Collinson but so far there has been an update on | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
whether or not any inquest will be sought or even ordered into his | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
death. It was impossible to date to contact his mother or father. Thank | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
you. A woman has been charged | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
with the attempted murder of two police officers on duty in West | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
Lothian. The officers had responded | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
to a report of concern for a person at around 4pm yesterday afternoon | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
on Hopefield Drive in Blackburn. An officer sustained minor injuries | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
after being struck by a black Mini Cooper and was taken | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
to hospital as a precaution. Scotland's exam body has admitted | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
to a series of mistakes in one of last summer's | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
computer science tests. There were a number of coding errors | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
in the National 5 question paper, according to a report | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
by the Scottish It also found several typographical | :10:47. | :10:47. | |
mistakes in the paper, The SQA said adjustments had been | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
made to the grade boundaries to make sure no candidates were affected | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
by the errors. In just over a week | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
the Burrell Collection in Glasgow will close its doors for four years | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
for a multi-million While the A-listed building | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
is refurbished, the collection of more than 9,000 artefacts will be | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
moved - some of it into storage, and some into exhibition | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
spaces at home and abroad. Our arts correspondent | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
Pauline McLean reports. I have got a beautiful and unique | :11:18. | :11:34. | |
carpet fragment from the ancient city... It was made their way carpet | :11:35. | :11:43. | |
weavers. In 1610. Deep in the basement of the Burrell Collection, | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
there are many treasures which have never seen the light of day. It has | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
lived in these stories for many years and we are hoping that with | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
the new refurbishment it will appear in a story about figurative imagery | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
in Islamic art, is it permissible or forbidden, given it is so | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
in Islamic art, is it permissible or controversial? Less than a fifth of | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
the collection is on public display at the moment and in the new | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
building that will be nearer to 90%, including the basement, which will | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
be open to the public for the first time. This is the biggest | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
undertaking since the Burrell Collection first opened in 1983. It | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
must be a great satisfaction to you to see this building open and its | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
treasures so well displayed. Its parkland site far from city centre | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
pollution is a condition of the bequest. As a shipping baggage, Sir | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
William Burrell was concerned about keeping his treasures safe. It was | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
where he also insisted in it never turning abroad. But the city argues | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
that was outdated and after a lengthy legal battle, it overturned | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
the condition and while it is closed, key artworks will tour the | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
world, raising the profile of the collection as well as funds. This | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
has been a great pivotal achievement for us, it means we are released on | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
the world stage for the first time and that means it encourages great | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
collaboration with international partners such as the Museum of fine | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
Art in Houston, where four pictures will go on display imminently. Most | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
of the 9000 artefacts will go into storage carefully wrapped and boxed | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
and catalogued in the coming months. Ready to go on display in the new | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
Burrell Museum in 2020. You're watching BBC | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
Reporting Scotland. The Deputy First Minister promises | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
more funding for EU students and tells the SNP conference that | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
their rights should be guaranteed. And still to come: A new statue | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
commemorates the women and children left behind | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
by the Eyemouth fishing disaster. The most advanced collection | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
of unmanned drones and remotely operated vessels ever assembled | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
is currently taking to the skies - and the waves - as part of a major | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
military operation The exercise involves naval staff | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
and defence contractors from several countries and is designed to show | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
how these devices can help keep frontline forces away from the most | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
dangerous situations. The land Warrior exercise is | :14:19. | :14:31. | |
bringing together an unprecedented number remote devices that flight, | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
swim or sale on the water, to see just how they function together in a | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
real warfare scenario. It sounds like James Bond stuff but these | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
devices really do exist. It is all about the best tool for the job and | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
people are crucially best at making the decisions and the machines are | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
best at gathering information and helping us decide when to intervene. | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
These patrol boats behind me look like standard vessels but there is | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
one important difference Daesh there is no cockpit, there is no wheel, | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
because they are designed for unmanned operation. They are | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
controlled by a human but, crucially, that person is kept well | :15:15. | :15:16. | |
out of danger. Countermeasures which we demonstrate here are inherently | :15:17. | :15:23. | |
dangerous. If we can move people further away from the danger of | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
those mines and use the unmanned systems to do what we call dull, | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
dirty and dangerous, that is a good thing. This exercise in and around | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
the Hebrides has involved 50 different types of unmanned craft, a | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
dozen defence contractors and forces from several countries. The unique | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
aspect is the integration of 50 unmanned technologies joined in | :15:48. | :15:54. | |
coalition, accelerating the autonomous learning capacity, | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
collaborating in the science and technology realm and innovating with | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
world-class navies into a fleet exercise. What many in the military | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
have come to realise is much of this technology is emerging from outside | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
the defence industry. And some is even available on the High Street. | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
This exercise is an attempt to exploit the capabilities and push | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
the boundaries of how this technology can be used to counteract | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
enemy or terrorist activity and protect our troops. | :16:23. | :16:30. | |
Let's take a look now at other stories from across the country. | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
Police say a fire at a derelict hospital in Aberdeenshire | :16:34. | :16:35. | |
More than 60 firefighters were called to Glen O'Dee | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
Some patients at a nearby community hospital were moved internally, | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
while firefighters tackled the outbreak | :16:44. | :16:44. | |
This morning, my reports are that our patients are all settled. They | :16:45. | :16:57. | |

the area with an economic boost. Hate crimes against disabled people | :17:56. | :18:07. | |
occur frequently in Scotland, but most go unreported | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
and there are few convictions. Now a touring film campaign aimed | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
at school children has been launched It's a collaboration | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
between Police Scotland and a leading disability charity | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
based in Renfrewshire. There are 1 million people | :18:20. | :18:33. | |
registered with a disability or long term illness in Scotland. 97% of | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
disability hate crime goes unreported in Scotland alone. There | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
were only 112 prosecutions last year for disability hate crime. | :18:42. | :18:45. | |

Retaining their star player on a long-term deal has been | :18:56. | :18:57. | |
a welcome boost ahead of this big match, as Kenny Crawford reports. | :18:58. | :19:08. | |
This is one happy Glasgow warrior, partly because laces are not the | :19:09. | :19:15. | |
only thing he has been tying up recently. Scotland international | :19:16. | :19:17. | |
Stuart Hogg has signed a new contract until 2019, which is his | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
wife as much as it suits him. Both our parents are just a couple of | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
hours down the road, so it is easy to pop down. The issue goes, happy | :19:30. | :19:38. | |
wife, happy life. If that wasn't the case, I would be in trouble. | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
wife, happy life. If that wasn't the everything seems perfect. But time | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
for a reality check. The Champions Cup is rugby's top European | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
tournament and it replaced the Heineken Cup, which had been running | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
since 1995. But in those 21 years, Glasgow haven't managed to make the | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
conversion from group stage to quarterfinals. Given the rugby we | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
have played throughout the season, especially in the last few seasons, | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
we believe we have not achieved our potential and this is another chance | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
to do better. For that to happen, Townsend's Glasgow must barge their | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
way through a tough group containing last season's cup runners-up, racing | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
92 of France and two clubs who have won the Heineken Cup twice, monster | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
from Ireland and English side Leicester Tigers. Their director of | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
rugby, Richard Cockerill, has voiced concerns about playing on Glasgow's | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
artificial pitch tonight, but Tigers players don't appear to be so | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
bothered. We have got experience of playing with them. They are a good | :20:42. | :20:50. | |
side, well coached. Glasgow have already shown their domestic | :20:51. | :20:52. | |
pedigree with eye-catching wins over the likes of defending pro-champions | :20:53. | :21:01. | |
Connacht this season. Now it is time to replicate that on the European | :21:02. | :21:03. | |
stage. Well, you can listen to how that | :21:04. | :21:04. | |
Glasgow-Leicester match unfolds on BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
tonight on 92 to 95 FM. Tennis now, and Andy Murray produced | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
another impressive display to reach the semi-finals | :21:13. | :21:14. | |
of the Shanghai Masters as he bids He beat the Belgian David Goffin | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
6-2, 6-2. He'll now face either Jack Sock | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
of the United States or France's Gilles Simon | :21:26. | :21:27. | |
for a place in Sunday's final. It was one of the darkest | :21:28. | :21:37. | |
days in the history 189 fishermen died on Black Friday, | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
14th October 1881 - the day of the Eyemouth fishing | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
disaster. The Berwickshire fleet was caught | :21:44. | :21:44. | |
in the eye of a ferocious storm. The boats smashed against the rocks | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
close to harbour, in sight of the families | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
of many of the fishermen. Today, a memorial was unveiled | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
to commemorate the women # Throughout that morn, they sweated | :21:56. | :22:08. | |
hard and worked readily. The storm had come from nowhere, trapping the | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
fishing fleet who were desperately running for sure. | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
# Suddenly from the depths of hell, if fury raged. Only to be smashed | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
against the rocks in sight of their women and children. This money is | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
for the Dazzler families left behind. It is called women and | :22:30. | :22:41. | |
bairns. This is my mother and her mother. It was my great grandfather | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
who was lost in the disaster. Every figure is in memory of each of the | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
women and children. Yes, it is very emotional, because you think about | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
these brave women, and if not for them, I wouldn't be here today, and | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
neither would the other dissidents. It wasn't just the men of Eyemouth | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
who died that day. 135 years ago, Black Friday claimed the lives of | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
coast. Immunities like Cove, Burma coast. Immunities like Cove, Burma | :23:10. | :23:18. | |
-- burn mouth also suffered terrible losses. There are long-standing | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
memorials to the men who died. This project was about the women. This | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
Eyemouth sculpture is a timeline over three days, where you have got | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
the storm on Friday afternoon, with the more tragic gestures. The women | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
are actually watching their men drowning. And then you have got | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
people looking out to sea, hoping to see them and come back. There is | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
hope as well as despair and grief and anxiety, all the things that go | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
with waiting and watching. It has taken more than a decade to complete | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
the memorials. These small communities have raised more than a | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
quarter of ?1 million to pay for a lasting legacy. It is for the next | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
generation. Ferguson is another generation down from the direct line | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
of the Grants, and he will be able to bring his children and | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
grandchildren along and tell them about the person or the statue who | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
is their direct descendant. This memorial is not just about the | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
unimaginable pain and suffering, it is about how the widows came | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
together, how they kept their small immunities alive and how, | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
generations on, their distant family still remember. | :24:30. | :24:37. | |
Let's see how the weekend weather is looking. | :24:38. | :24:44. | |
It is looking very unsettled, but we will see drier and brighter slots as | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
well. There would be hefty showers in the East. They will become fewer | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
and lighter as we had through the evening. Shetland is staying dry. | :24:55. | :25:04. | |
The weather will be heavy in eastern Scotland, and there is a Met Office | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
weather warning for Angus, Teesside and parts of Aberdeenshire from | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
midnight until six tomorrow. Still those brisk East or south-easterly | :25:15. | :25:24. | |
winds. Tomorrow, here is the low pressure responsible. It will be a | :25:25. | :25:32. | |
wet and windy start to Saturday, the Renicks tending right across the | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
country during the morning. We will see brighter conditions feeding him | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
eventually across the borders, and the winds will ease as well. Still | :25:48. | :25:59. | |
feeling cool under the cloud. We should see some sunshine to the | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
north of the Isles. You can expect difficult driving conditions and | :26:07. | :26:08. | |
perhaps some flooding where we have that warning in place. And it | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
becomes drier as we had through the rest of the day. For hill walkers | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
and climbers, some challenging conditions, with driving gales at | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
the tops and possibly severe gales as well. Southern ranges will see an | :26:22. | :26:31. | |
improvement through the afternoon, but we still have this persistent | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
rain. Very challenging conditions once again. You will be braver than | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
me if you head to the hills tomorrow. The rain will continue to | :26:42. | :26:48. | |
move northwards tomorrow evening. It will become confined to the Northern | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
Isles, where it will stay windy. It becomes largely dry for most of us. | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
There will be some showers on Sunday, but a better day in all for | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
northern Scotland. We lose the showers and rain from the Northern | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
Isles. A good deal of sunshine as well. It will be a fairly pleasant | :27:07. | :27:07. | |
day. It will be milder. Now, a reminder of | :27:08. | :27:16. | |
tonight's main news. I'll be back with the headlines | :27:17. | :27:32. | |
at 8pm and the late bulletin just Until then, from everyone | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
on the team right across the country, have | :27:37. | :27:39. | |
a very good evening. | :27:40. | :27:45. |
