Now it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Previously secret files show, for the first time, the extent | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
of a security breach at Faslane in 1988. | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
Documents from the National Archives detail how, in October that year, | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
three protesters were able to access a nuclear submarine's control room. | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
Our political correspondent Nick Eardley has been looking | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
through the documents and speaking exclusively | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
Same pace in the night 1880s. At the period which saw regular antinuclear | :00:26. | :00:38. | |
protest and remarkable breach of security. For antinuclear | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
demonstrators broke into the submarine base in Scotland. One of | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
them is reached to have reached a dry dock wearer submarine was | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
birthed. That is how it was reported at the time. But now the extent has | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
been revealed. Previously secret files show protesters gained access | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
to the control room, leaving Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher furious. | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
She demanded an urgent report into what happened. Few know better than | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
Phil Jones. This is the first interview he is given about what | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
happened. I expected to be arrested, almost in minutes. Phil and two | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
others intended to act as a decoy for a friend. She was trying to swim | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
to one of those submarines but is series of security failures meant | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
they were free to roam. We were passed by a police van, close enough | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
to recognise the driver. At one point it was literally meters away. | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
All the time we were expecting to be arrested any moment. They weren't, | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
and bashed again access. We were on the deck, there was an open hatch, | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
we dived down it and we were in the control room. There was the | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
periscope, things were operating the planes, the driving the subs, or we | :02:05. | :02:14. | |
had was a marker pen. So we daubed a few peace symbols... The trio was | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
eventually caught and detained. A court martial was avoided because it | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
would have given activists publicity. Armed guards were given | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
new powers. The rules of engagement governing armed guards have been | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
amended to make clear they may open fire. We knew they would change. | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
Phil and the others were eventually cleared in court on a technicality. | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
He spent several further years living in a protest camp near | :02:47. | :02:47. | |
Faslane. From midnight tomorrow, | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
owners of air weapons are required to have a licence, | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
following a tightening But more than 3,000 owners who've | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
applied for a permit are being warned that it won't be | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
processed in time for Thousands of air weapons | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
have been surrendered These are the guns that by the 1st | :03:00. | :03:15. | |
of January will be illegal unless their owners have a licence for | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
them. Already 11,000 people have applied for in egg and certificate | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
and anyone with a gun licence already can add elegance to it. But | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
thousands of air gun owners have missed the deadline of the 31st of | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
October to apply for a permit. Anyone who applied for a city forget | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
before the 31st of October is OK. They applied early. Unfortunately | :03:37. | :03:45. | |
those who played from the 1st of November up today and for the next | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
couple of weeks will have to wait some time before their certificate | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
is processed. They will have to make alternative arrangements for safe | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
storage of their guns. Registered gun dealers like this one in | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
Inverness are providing a safe house for our weapons whose owners want to | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
keep them but won't be licensed by Sunday morning. Many of those in the | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
gun trade think the clamp-down is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
Shooting people out of high-rise flats is illegal. You can't do that | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
and you never could. This legislation is a piece of tokenism | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
which will retrieve nothing. The people who will miss use air rifles | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
are not the type of people who are going to go to the trouble of | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
licensing them then anyway. But backers of the new law say our | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
weapons are involved of half of all gun crime in Scotland and with an | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
estimated half a million of them in Scotland, tightening legislation is | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
justified. Thousands of airguns have already been handed in to police to | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
be destroyed. The arguments about the new legislation will continue | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
well into 2017 but the fact remains that if you have one of these and | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
you don't have a licence for it, as from two morrow night you will be | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
breaking the law. There will be a possible penalty of up to two years | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
in prison. Small investors in Royal Bank | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
of Scotland are pushing for the bank to set up a shareholder committee, | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
to give them a bigger say in areas Groups representing small | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
shareholders argue they should be involved in ensuring | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
good corporate governance. Investors hope RBS will serve | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
as a test case, so that other companies will consider installing | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
a shareholder committee. The bank said it had | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
not seen full details, but pledged to "look | :05:22. | :05:22. | |
closely" at the idea. Edinburgh's tram network is running | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
at only a quarter of capacity, Passenger numbers almost doubled | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
between 2014 and 2015 to just over 5 million, | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
but the services have the potential to carry 21 million | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
people each year. An Edinburgh Trams spokesman said | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
the figures are from last year, and that 2016 is expected to show | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
a significant increase. Three days of Hogmanay celebrations | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
begin in Edinburgh tonight. 10,000 torchbearers, | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
led by Up Helly Aa Vikings from Shetland, will illuminate | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
the streets of the Old Town, with Normally you expect to see these | :05:56. | :06:13. | |
fearsome looking characters on Shetland but tonight they are in the | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
centre of Edinburgh, helping to kick off the city's Hogmanay | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
celebrations. Just a few final photos before, at seven o'clock, | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
they head out at the head of the torchlit procession. 33 Kings -- 30 | :06:27. | :06:38. | |
Vikings will walk the route along to Carlton Hill. Along the route there | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
will be third -- crowds of 30,000 people. This is the outset of a | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
three-day festival and crowds are helping to generate what will be ?42 | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
million for the local economy. The main event comes tomorrow, that is | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
the concert in the gardens, headlined by Paulo detainee, and | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
then the fireworks display from the castle watched by 75,000 people at | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
the street party below. The pictures will be beamed across the globe but | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
before then it is the turn of these guys. | :07:13. | :07:13. | |
Police are investigating damage to fossilised dinosaur footprints | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
Plaster was poured into the prints on Staffin Beach. | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
Police believe a man driving a white camper van may be responsible | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
A second ?5 note, engraved with a tiny portrait of Jane Austen | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
and said to be worth up to ?50,000, has been found in Scotland. | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
Four of the special fivers were put into circulation | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
The first was found in a South Wales cafe, earlier this month. | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
Now let's get the weather forecast now, from Judith. | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
Thank you. And a good evening to you. South-westerly winds brought a | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
lot of clout across the country but that Claridge did break as indicated | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
by one of our weather watchers. Tonight it stays very mild and will | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
hold onto brisk winds as well. We have a band of rain line across the | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
north of the country, it is persistent and there are some heavy | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
bursts within it. There will be a yellow warning for the Northwest in | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
force from midnight tonight till six tomorrow evening. Elsewhere it is | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
try, breezy, around 8010 Celsius. Tomorrow morning starts largely | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
driver the south and east. The rain line across the North sinks | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
southwards, it is a slow-moving affair, heavy rain fairly persistent | :08:36. | :08:45. | |
starting to change. We will see cleaner air across the North and | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
that is a sign of things to come tomorrow night. Brisk winds tomorrow | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
and Miles during daylight hours. Colder as we head towards dusk. The | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
weather front heading southwards. Sofa the bills it will be | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
predominantly dry with clear skies, a chilly nights to come, the risk of | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
ice and we start to see some wintry showers heading into the North as | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
the northerly winds pick up. New Year's Day will be cold and windy | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
with some sunshine particularly in the West, frequent wintry showers. | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
If you're still up, I'll see you then. | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
