Gay men who were accused of homosexuality before laws were | :00:00. | :01:37. | |
scrapped will be pardoned. There are also plans to remove this from | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
police records. This is from our political editor, Brian Taylor. | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
Same-sex matter for celebration. Gay activist | :01:46. | :01:56. | |
Derek Hogg says it is a wonderful act of reconciliation but he | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
remembers a very different time in Scotland before the law was changed. | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
Working-class gay men in Scotland where the fire to come out, they | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
faced physical brutality and shaming and ostracism from their community. | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
Middle-class professional people lost their professional status. It | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
was a catastrophe in the lives of people and of course just the | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
silence of living with that sense of guilt year after year after year | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
drove many people to suicide to, the self harm come to drink and drugs. | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
At Holyrood, the Justice Secretary put it simply. We must right this | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
At Holyrood, the Justice Secretary wrong. He explained how. Will want | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
to produce an automatic pardoned for people convicted so they know they | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
are absolved fully of that conviction. We want to address the | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
injustice that people experience in the because of their sexual | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
orientation. There will also be moves to disregard such conviction | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
and inform police records. In England, different reform is under | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
way following the posthumous pardon granted to Alan Turing, the wartime | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
computer code breaker. There is a long history here, while sexual acts | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
between women were not specifically outlawed, it was 1980, 13 years | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
after England, before gay sex was legalised in Scotland with men aged | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
over 21. In 1994, the age of consent was registered to 18, then the 16 in | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
2001, creating equality. The first same-sex marriage in Scotland was at | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
the end of 2014. Today's announcement won cross-party | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
the end of 2014. Today's support. That is a hugely welcome | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
announcement, in fact nothing short of an historic moment for Scotland | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
to be a more equal and respectful country. Both Kezia Dougdale and | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
Patrick Harvie raised the issue of a formal apology for past laws. While | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
many welcome a pardon, others take from it they are being forgiven for | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
having done something wrong. The Cabinet Secretary promised to look | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
seriously at that issue in the pardoned law is introduced. | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
Plans for the expansion of Heathrow's third runway has been | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
welcomed by the Scottish Government, Scottish airports and businesses | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
who want to see improved options for air connections. | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
But environmentalists are warning it's a backward step. | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
So what are the implications of this project? | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
Here's our Business and Economy Editor, Douglas Fraser. | :04:28. | :04:39. | |
One product you don't have two F rate the market. This patch will be | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
ready about the time the next Heathrow runway comes into use. This | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
distillery near Inverness has trouble requirements. Frustrated by | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
London's airport bottleneck. It is not that important for us to get out | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
because we know how to get out, but for distributors and their customers | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
coming in, they need a smooth transition, and Heathrow usually is | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
the airport of choice. London has lots of airport capacity but not | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
enough where it's needed, at Heathrow and Gatwick. That is where | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
feeder flights can link to the world, but what about the noise, say | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
Heathrow's neighbours, and aircraft emissions? The concerns are that we | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
received a significant increase, 70% by 2030. It will increase pollution, | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
make the demands that the planet is facing, carbon emissions, even more | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
stark. Frei Scottish airports link with Heathrow but the British | :05:40. | :05:40. | |
Airways monopolies wishes prices up. Airways monopolies wishes prices up. | :05:41. | :05:49. | |
-- pushes prices up. Not the setting has come at an economic cost, while | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
other global hubs have been grabbing market share. We need to have this | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
as soon as possible. Because of the delays we have had over many years, | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
what you are seeing is further development in western Europe, and | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
in Dubai and Istanbul, and that isn't the cost of the UK. After | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
consultation and potential legal challenges, a hard-fought Commons | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
vote, we are still a long way from the bulldozers moving in. Some | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
Gatwick supporters think Heathrow's plans will never happen. They face | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
too many large obstacles. I am frustrated as a taxpayer and a | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
businessman and an airport guy who just wants to see progress. This is | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
a vote for no progress. But in the end we just have to get on with what | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
we do. There is a catch, the aviation market is changing. | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
Edinburgh and other major Scottish airports are not just looking to get | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
people in and out of London, they are looking for direct routes, | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
indeed they are already flying them to European cities, North America | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
and the Middle East and eventually they hope to Asia. With that kind of | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
growth, Edinburgh might need another runway too, in at least 25 years. | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
Douglas Fraser, reporting Scotland. Well, our news reporter, | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
Steven Duff, is at Aberdeen Airport Steven, is it possible to say | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
what impact he heathrow expansion plans might have on people flying | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
to and from Scotland? What has been the reaction? We have | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
further consent from Edinburgh airport and from environmental | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
groups, but from the north-east, there has been long-time support for | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
an extension of Heathrow. The feeling is that was the best way to | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
maintain and improve connectivity, with London and abroad. The Grampian | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
Chambers of commerce says that the government finally appears to have | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
grasped the nettle and it will be at the forefront of the consultations | :07:35. | :07:44. | |
to follow. They are reporting since the Inverness- Heathrow link was | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
reinstated after 20 years in May there has been a surge in tourists, | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
1450% of those saying they connected internationally via Heathrow. Of | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
course it is also about maintaining links, Glasgow, Inverness and | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
Heathrow, and the government say they will have the links maintained | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
with this decision. It also could be new links. Prestwick has been | :08:06. | :08:13. | |
mentioned, even Dundee apparently. When decision is finally reached, it | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
will be well over a decade before passengers in Scotland notice any | :08:18. | :08:18. | |
difference. Scottish universities have raised | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
concerns about the future of European research funding | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
in the wake of Brexit. The principal of Glasgow | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
university says he believes it The University of the Highlands | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
and Islands says it's having to put major projects on hold | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
until the situation becomes clear. Our science correspondent | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
Kenneth Macdonald has this report. Scottish science punches above its | :08:35. | :08:45. | |
weight. They get a far bigger share of the UK's science budget than the | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
size of our population might suggest. Why? Because we are good at | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
it. In European funding, as in the UK, Scottish research attracts more | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
than our population's share, what is called the southern framework | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
programme between 2007 in 2013 attracted the support of almost 730 | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
million euros. The current programme, a 2020, has brought us | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
almost 300 million so far. -- Horizon 2020. So while Brexit | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
meaning Brexit, what will it mean the Scottish research perhaps more | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
than all those Euros? Universities in Scotland are a fantastic asset in | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
this country, two in the top hundred, 45 in the top 200. That is | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
an asset that we really don't want to lose and it could be imperilled. | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
Of course it is one aim for us because science doesn't really | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
respect borders. I know from my own research background, to push back | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
the frontiers and to make real progress, much of it involves | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
international collaboration. The Scottish Government says it is | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
concerned about the uncertainty and points the finger at the UK | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
Government. The Treasury says funding for specific projects will | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
continue beyond the UK's departure from the EU but that may not be | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
enough for a major scheme to improve skills. A large part of that will be | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
funding higher level qualifications, including quite a substantial number | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
of postgraduate places, doctorates. Fine, we know that a lot of that | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
funding has been confirmed, in the short-term, but doctorate takes | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
three and a half to four years. We cannot in all honesty start any of | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
these big major projects when we don't know that the funding is going | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
to be confirmed 100% long-term. Are there any upsides? Science is | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
international and resilient. Scotland played a role in the two | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
biggest breakthroughs this entry, the Higgs boson and the discovery of | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
gravitational waves, both the result of collaboration is far bigger than | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
the EU. But what is happening now is that | :10:56. | :11:06. | |
Brexit has opened up a world of uncertainty, and although we may not | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
yet know exactly what is under threat, we do know what's at stake. | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
A bin lorry driver has been jailed for a year for causing the death | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
Scott Hamilton reversed his vehicle into a mobility scooter being driven | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
by Peter Wills near the pensioner's home at Dunblane in December 2014. | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
44-year-old Hamilton had earlier pleaded guilty at the High Court | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
in Stirling to causing death by careless driving by failing | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
A female police officer who was badly injured along | :11:34. | :11:41. | |
with a colleague in a hit-and-run attack in Glasgow has | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
The officers were trying to speak to people inside a blue | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
Nissan Qashqai in Glasgow on Sunday night when it was deliberately | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
Police have now confirmed that the vehicle, which was later | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
found burned out, had been stolen, and they are treating the attack | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
Scotland's prisons watchdog wants more help for offenders | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
who are released into the community at the end of their sentence. | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
The Chief Inspector of Prisons says too often people leave jail | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
without knowing where they'll sleep or whether their health care | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
needs will be met - and it makes reoffending | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
Our Home Affairs Correspondent, Reevel Alderson reports. | :12:12. | :12:24. | |
Scotland's prison population is the Losa seven years, and overall the | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
annual inspection report is positive. Praise for staff who work | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
with prisoners about to be released. This report please to be publishing | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
today. David Strand says there should be better integration of | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
their work with services provided in the community by local authorities, | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
the NHS and charities. I see too many people leaving prison not | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
knowing where they are going to sleep that night, people with health | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
care problems, not sure whether addiction support will come, and | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
people leaving with insufficient money to support them until their | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
benefits are June. This lack of support, he says, is one of the many | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
reasons why many offenders return quickly to prison. This challenge | :13:10. | :13:17. | |
for society is being tackled by charities like the wise group. | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
Mentors, many of themselves with prison records, help those about to | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
leave jail and four of the year until their sentence is ended. They | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
offer practical support and advice on how to keep out of trouble. It | :13:30. | :13:37. | |
has been six months, and there is a real empathy, because we do | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
understand. A lot of the guys I have worked with, from the team, there is | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
a real deep understanding in the whole team, and a real specialism. | :13:49. | :13:56. | |
But the charities concerned that funding could come to an end. | :13:57. | :14:01. | |

A world-wide forum of disability experts | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
The Rehabilitation International Congress was last held in the UK | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
The topics discussed and society's attitudes towards disabled people | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
has changed radically since then, as our reporter Ian Hamilton | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
One of the issues they will be discussing here at the | :14:43. | :14:58. | |
rehabilitation International Congress is that lack of investment | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
into people with disabilities. Governments were happy to win | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
Paralympic medals bending wave that way but what about other elements of | :15:08. | :15:08. | |
life? If you invest in employment, way but what about other elements of | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
training, independent living and other areas of their life, then we | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
will also hit gold in those areas too. Gathered here are some of the | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
top disability experts on the road. They will be developing ideas that | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
will influence government policy around the globe. What Edinburgh can | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
learn is to take on board and look at what other countries have got in | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
their systems. At a forum like this where you can have those | :15:37. | :15:38. | |
conversations with people just sat around a table, like we are now, it | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
is where you learn from each other I think more than anything. Greens I | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
think we need to do is also change our social access and our mentality | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
around disability because it is not just about having a really | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
accessible venue for accessible coding, it is about staff having | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
disability awareness training and having the right attitude to treat | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
disabled people with the respect they deserve. This week is all about | :16:03. | :16:10. | |
exchanging ideas. We all want to make sure we have policies that | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
allow people with disabilities to fulfil their potential. That means | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
having an inclusive approach to policy-making. So there's lots we | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
can learn but there's also lots of it we can offer other countries, in | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
terms of how we do things in Scotland. 1000 delegates, 200 | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
speakers from 60 different countries will be here until Thursday to find | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
new ways of delivering services to an increasingly disabled global | :16:38. | :16:37. | |
population. Time for a look at other stories | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
from across the country. There's been a reduction | :16:43. | :16:44. | |
in the number of people with alcohol related problems | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
being admitted to hospital, There were almost 35,000 such | :16:48. | :16:48. | |
admissions last year - A new possible sighting of missing | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
Dunfermline airman Corrie Mckeague The 23-year-old, based in Suffolk, | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
vanished after a night out Police said they had | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
received another possible sighting of him heading | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
towards an industrial estate. Olympic gold medallist | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
Callum Skinner joined veterans today for the launch of this years | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
Scottish Poppy Appeal. The fundraising campaign will see | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
around five million poppies being sold to help support the | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
Armed Forces community in Scotland. The Armed Forces are still dealing | :17:28. | :17:36. | |
with challenges around the world. The veterans deal with the | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
challenges that they've faced from their service over many years. With | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
the Armed Forces community getting smaller in Scotland, it's important | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
that the wider public understand what they've done for us over the | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
years and that their service is never forgotten. | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
A new teacher has been found for a school with just seven pupils | :17:54. | :17:56. | |

In football, Sir Alex Ferguson says Scotland will need to beat England | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
at Wembley if they're to have a chance of qualifying for | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
After a disappointing start to their campaign | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
for the national team, the match is set for November. | :18:56. | :18:57. | |
Sir Alex, though, is optimistic that the Scots can get back on track | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
with a win against their arch rivals, as David Currie reports. | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
Two of Scotland's biggest personalities, and one of the | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
sport's biggest prizes. Although that's an oversized version of the | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
European Championship trophy. Scotland manager Gordon Strachan and | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
Sir Alex Ferguson in Glasgow, highlighting its role as one of 13 | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
cities hosting matches in the 2020 finals. The actual European final | :19:22. | :19:29. | |
trophy is on display in Glasgow today, too. But it will be fair to | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
say that the minds of most Scottish football fans aren't on that. | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
They're on the World Cup and Scotland's prospects of qualifying | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
for the tournament in Russia in two years' time. Strachan's Scotland | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
have just two points from three qualifying matches. His team face | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
England next at Wembley. But he wasn't talking to media types like | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
me about that today. The man who managed Aberdeen and Manchester | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
United was. I think that they have to win it. It's no problem, they can | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
win it. Scotland always do well against England. It's always a great | :20:07. | :20:14. | |
incentive, and the support will be fantastic. I don't know how many | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
will be that, but whatever they allocate in Scotland it will be | :20:19. | :20:20. | |
trouble that you will find tickets I. The Scotland boss's current | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
manager is also hoping he and his team deliver at Wembley. We need to | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
get our performance back on track at Wembley and get our position | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
improved if we have any chance of qualifying. Gordon knows how | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
important this is for the fans. The branding for the Glasgow part of | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
Euro 2020 features a graphic Clyde Arc, that is the squinty Bridge to | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
you and me. Scotland's Rugby head coach, | :20:49. | :20:59. | |
Vern Cotter, says no team should try to stop a player | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
representing his nation. The top English sides have voted | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
to not release Scotland players for the Autumn tests, | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
unless the SRU settle allegedly Cotter also revealed he's | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
"disappointed" to be Wildly the Next Generation honed | :21:11. | :21:24. | |
their skills on a tour of the national rugby stadium, the man in | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
charge of Scotland's first 15 fields questions about a row with top | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
English teams who say their players might represent Scotland and less | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
allegedly outstanding medical bills are settled. You can't deny people | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
the opportunity to play. Even though it may be frustrating at times when | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
you have players leaving or injured or coming back injured, | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
International rugby is important fixtures and it's pretty tough to | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
try and deprive a player of that possibility to play for his country. | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
A gig of the autumn Test series, the World Cup runners-up Australia are | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
here at Murrayfield one fortnight on Saturday. Head coach Vern Cotter | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
will need his strongest available squad. But because of the club | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
versus country row, he's not sure whether his English -based players | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
will be available to him. The five in question are the Saracens duo of | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
Sean Maitland and Duncan Taylor. Fellow back Tim Visser of | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
harlequins. Forward Moray Low of the Exeter Chiefs. And most crucially of | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
all, Gloucester's Greg Laidlaw, the Scotland captain. You cannot have a | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
Scotland test periods without the Scottish captain. Greg Laidlaw is in | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
there as the Scottish captain for three games. He should not be | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
deprived of the rights to play for his country. And he should not be | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
used as a political pawn between a group of clubs and a nation? | :22:49. | :22:50. | |
Absolutely. This is rugby politics group of clubs and a nation? | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
gone wrong. This is so bad for the game. It's a distraction Vern Cotter | :22:56. | :22:57. | |
gone wrong. This is so bad for the could do without as he prepares | :22:58. | :22:59. | |
gone wrong. This is so bad for the his last autumn test with Scotland. | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
He will be replaced next summer by the Glasgow Warriors head coach | :23:04. | :23:04. | |
Gregor Townsend. If you're doing the Glasgow Warriors head coach | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
something and you want to go somewhere and you've got objectives | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
in mind, that's the deal that done. We just move on. Moving on this | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
autumn will be less of an ordeal if key players like as captain can join | :23:20. | :23:21. | |
the party. All this month the festival Luminate | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
has been celebrating the creativity It shares stories of ageing and | :23:26. | :23:27. | |
explores what growing older means. And for one film-maker, | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
what began as a single film has inspired an entire festival - | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
within the festival. Our Arts Correspondent, | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
Pauline McLean, reports. For film-maker Duncan, this | :23:38. | :23:52. | |
Edinburgh care home was a starting point for his latest film project. | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
Having encouraged his reluctant grandfather put on film-maker, | :23:56. | :23:57. | |
he wanted to persuade other older people to the same. | :23:58. | :23:59. | |
Five residents took up the challenge and spent the last few months | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
Choosing the direction of themselves has allowed them | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
We have all opted for different styles of music, everyone | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
has a least one form of story and then to tell. | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
May is one of the newest residents and at the age of 86 | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
decided her family was the most interesting story | :24:19. | :24:19. | |
My son seemed quite thrilled about it but they kept telling me | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
that Hollywood would be here and all of this kind | :24:28. | :24:29. | |
But in one week, it was quite exciting, in one way. | :24:30. | :24:38. | |
The film has been commissioned at the Luminate Festival | :24:39. | :24:48. | |
which encourages older people to continue to be creative and there | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
One of the residents spoke about how she wanted to do things like this | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
in her life but had not been given the opportunity and, | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
you know, I do not think at the age of 90 she expected to have this | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
opportunity to do this and dedicate this film that we made | :25:04. | :25:11. | |
The films will be shown at a special screening in the home | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
and it is all that it will reach a wider audience at | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
Who knows, if successful, there could be a sequel. | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
Now here's Shelley Jofre with details of Scotland 2016. | :25:26. | :25:32. | |
Tonight we're arresting how much economic benefit the new runway at | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
Heathrow would bring to Scotland. And at what cost to the environment. | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
And the international debate on improving disability rights comes to | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
Edinburgh. Join me over on BBC Two at 10:30pm. | :25:47. | :25:48. | |
There are some lovely blue skies for many of us, this was Glasgow this | :25:49. | :26:00. | |
morning. Later this afternoon, beautiful blue skies through the | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
capital. There is change afoot this week. The easterly that we have had | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
which has been so predominant is changing to a westerly. That means | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
we will see some weather fronts coming in off the Atlantic with more | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
cloud and wind around. Through the course of this evening, the cloud | :26:18. | :26:19. | |
that we've seen building today, you can see it on the satellite picture. | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
That's going to stay with us. You can see a weather front in the | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
north-west, cloud streaming its way in. We hold onto tonight. Cloudy, | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
breezy, much milder than last night. For some, a little bit damp. Here is | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
the rain edging in across the north-west. Fairly light and patchy | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
for many. The further south and east you are, the drier it will be. A dip | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
in temperature in the east, but temperatures here will recover. In | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
the West, much milder than last night. It was -5 Celsius in Tulloch | :26:52. | :26:59. | |
Bridge last night. Breezy, cloudier and outbreaks of rain moving their | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
way south and east through the course of the day on Wednesday. | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
Through the central belt by lunchtime and down towards the | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
borders before fizzling away. By mid afternoon for Central and southern | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
Scotland, cloudy with a few showers. Much milder than today. 13-14 | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
Celsius. Further north, spells of sunshine coming through but also a | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
number of blustery showers. It will be a windy day tomorrow with a | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
strong south-westerly wind around the west coast and across the | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
aisles. Through the course of the evening, the showers seemed to fade | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
away. Fairly breezy and certainly not too cold. Thursday we do it all | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
again. A weather front in the north-west bringing outbreaks of | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
rain slowly edging south and eastwards. The further south and | :27:42. | :27:44. | |
east you are, generally, the drier it will be. Friday, the winds coming | :27:45. | :27:49. | |
from the West again. The best of any sunshine across the north and | :27:50. | :27:50. | |
north-east. Now, a reminder of | :27:51. | :27:52. | |
tonight's main news... Gay men who were convicted | :27:53. | :27:57. | |
of homosexuality before Scots Law was changed in 1980 are to be given | :27:58. | :28:00. | |
a full pardon. The Scottish Government's Justice | :28:01. | :28:02. | |
Secretary Michael Matheson said Our next main bulletin is just | :28:03. | :28:04. | |
after the ten o'clock news. Until then, from everyone | :28:05. | :28:10. | |
on the team - good evening. | :28:11. | :28:14. |
