:01:57. > :02:01.30 miles north of Inverness, amid reports that an incident had
:02:02. > :02:07.occurred during a live firing exercise involving troops. Now the

:03:38. > :03:43.highest possible standard and this must include live firing but we had
:03:44. > :03:48.yesterday's tragic events. So I am saying this is to be an exhaustive

:04:18. > :04:20.there is no confirmation of the identity of the servicemen who has
:04:21. > :04:26.died. We don't know where they were based which regiment they came from.
:04:27. > :04:32.And crucially as this major inquiry continues, the police cannot say
:04:33. > :04:33.whether this was in some ways a deliberate act or a tragic accident.
:04:34. > :04:36.Thank you, Craig. MSPs have voted to urge
:04:37. > :04:38.the Scottish government to repeal its Offensive Behaviour

:05:01. > :05:06.behaviour at the football but for how much longer with the police
:05:07. > :05:10.operate under the current laws? I call on Douglas Ross... Blount the
:05:11. > :05:14.opposition rounded on the government and Holyrood calling for legislation
:05:15. > :05:18.to be appealed in the appropriate language. They are behaving like a
:05:19. > :05:22.football club that have used all their subs but would rather leave an
:05:23. > :05:25.injured player on the pitch rather than removing him for a benefit for
:05:26. > :05:31.their team. There are moments when a change in criminal law is
:05:32. > :05:33.appropriate and in this case the view of legal practitioners is that
:05:34. > :05:37.they were already adequate laws in place and those should be used to
:05:38. > :05:43.prosecute this behaviour rather than verifying football and its thousands
:05:44. > :05:47.of fans. Defending the government line, the minister said the powers
:05:48. > :05:51.are being used by the authorities. I would point out that the statistics
:05:52. > :05:55.clearly demonstrate that the prosecution rate for the act is
:05:56. > :06:01.comparable to other prosecution rates. The latest information covers
:06:02. > :06:06.2014-15 and shows that proceedings have been carried out so far in 19
:06:07. > :06:12.places, 76 people convicted, a conviction rate of 84%. Backed up
:06:13. > :06:20.from the backbenches, today's events have been described as an opposition
:06:21. > :06:23.ploy. That has nothing to do with trying to improve the legislation
:06:24. > :06:28.and everything to do with trying to defeat the government. This is a
:06:29. > :06:32.political stunt. But the opposition, still smarting, claimed the
:06:33. > :06:37.legislation was pushed through without regard women as NP have the
:06:38. > :06:41.power to do so. It was introduced and believed by the Justice
:06:42. > :06:45.Secretary and by government showing scant regard for this parliament for
:06:46. > :06:49.civil liberties over the complexities of the problem they
:06:50. > :06:56.sought to address. Time for an early bath for this legislation, said, the
:06:57. > :07:02.government was then defeated. Yes, 64, no, 63, the motion is therefore
:07:03. > :07:06.agreed. Labour now see the act is dead in the water and want action.
:07:07. > :07:10.The government must therefore bring forward immediate plans on how they
:07:11. > :07:17.will repeal this act as a matter of urgency. The presiding officer said
:07:18. > :07:23.Parliament had made its view clear, it was up to the Scottish Government
:07:24. > :07:26.to reflect on how to respond. Andrew care, Reporting Scotland.

:07:29. > :07:30.Brian, has the government given any reaction?
:07:31. > :07:37.They have, they say they will review the act. We should add that the
:07:38. > :07:43.government only escaped in defeat tonight on an NHS motion because the
:07:44. > :07:48.Green party voted with them. On this football act all the opposition
:07:49. > :07:52.parties voted together to defeat the government 64-63. We caught up
:07:53. > :07:57.shortly after the vote with the Justice Secretary, Michael Matheson.
:07:58. > :08:03.Mainly unanswered questions from the opposition parties. They have to be
:08:04. > :08:08.addressed. This legislation deals with more than tackling offensive
:08:09. > :08:12.behaviour, it also deals with certain communications which can be
:08:13. > :08:16.used as well. We need to make sure we address these issues when looking
:08:17. > :08:20.at these matters. I think if we did not do that it would be reckless and
:08:21. > :08:26.some of the behaviour that we saw from the opposition today is
:08:27. > :08:32.bordering on reckless. Strong words. At the end of an acerbic debate. Do

:23:46. > :23:50.believe the outcome of the vote. So I don't know. I was very angered by
:23:51. > :24:02.it and when I saw the map, having been someone who voted to stay in

:24:27. > :24:34.the others. It was great to be back in Scotland. Even the first train

:25:14. > :25:26.actually saving? Generally dry and bright conditions
:25:27. > :25:31.for many, but a change on the way as we had overnight with cloudy, wet
:25:32. > :25:34.weather moving in. You can see on the chart behind me, we have this
:25:35. > :25:41.weather front edging in and the high pressure will slip away tomorrow.
:25:42. > :25:44.Starting tonight as the cloud builds across the Highlands and Islands.
:25:45. > :25:49.The further east you are, we have a chilly evening before the cloud
:25:50. > :25:53.builds. But the cloud and the rain for the most part and the
:25:54. > :25:57.temperatures recover. For many, settling at around eight Celsius
:25:58. > :26:02.overnight. It does mean it will be a cloudy and wet day for many. The
:26:03. > :26:07.rain heaviest and persistent across western part of the country. The
:26:08. > :26:12.further east you are, the rain is lighter and more patchy in nature.
:26:13. > :26:16.By mid-afternoon we are looking at temperatures of eight to 10 Celsius,
:26:17. > :26:21.but with the cloud and the rain it will feel cool. Later, the wind will
:26:22. > :26:25.vary towards the north-west and brighter conditions coming across
:26:26. > :26:31.parts of the Western Isles to end the day. Shetland faring well. So
:26:32. > :26:38.largely dry and bright for you for most of the day. The wet weather
:26:39. > :26:42.continues to sweep eastwards, breezy from the north-west. Showery too.
:26:43. > :26:47.Into Friday, low pressure is still in charge. There will be outbreaks
:26:48. > :26:51.of rain but that will slip away by the weekend, introducing a cold,
:26:52. > :26:58.northerly airstream. Quite bitter for some. But whether in the south
:26:59. > :27:03.at first. Another band of rain in the north edging southwards. Snow on
:27:04. > :27:07.the hills. At the weekend, both Saturday and Sunday, most of the
:27:08. > :27:10.mainland will be crisp, sunny but cold and then showers around the
:27:11. > :27:16.coast and across the islands. Sunday will be similar. Bear in mind, at
:27:17. > :27:18.night some shop, widespread frost despite the sunny skies in the day.
:27:19. > :27:21.That is the forecast. Now, a reminder of
:27:22. > :27:33.tonight's main news. An MoD firing range is locked down
:27:34. > :27:37.after a soldier was killed during a live firing exercise. I am back at
:27:38. > :27:40.8pm and the late bulletin just after the Ten O'Clock News. Until then,
:27:41. > :27:45.enjoy your evening.
