:00:00. > :00:00.That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me

:00:00. > :00:12.and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

:00:13. > :00:15.The Forth Road Bridge remains closed tonight after strong

:00:16. > :00:24.winds overturned a lorry and caused massive disruption.

:00:25. > :00:33.People are late for work and they are taking silly risks. The new code

:00:34. > :00:39.that means police will only be able to use stop and search measures

:00:40. > :00:43.giving reasonable grounds. The finance secretary is questioned

:00:44. > :00:48.about his tax plans. An investigation finds a helicopter

:00:49. > :00:54.spun more than 180 degrees as it was landing on a North Sea platform. And

:00:55. > :00:55.we meet the University research are developing technology designed to

:00:56. > :01:06.help people with paralysed faces. The Forth Road Bridge remains closed

:01:07. > :01:10.tonight after strong winds overturned a lorry

:01:11. > :01:17.and caused massive disruption. It is due to reopen

:01:18. > :01:21.tomorrow first thing. A 54-year-old man has since been

:01:22. > :01:23.charged with dangerous driving. More than 70,000 vehicles use

:01:24. > :01:25.the bridge each day. Our reporter Andrew Anderson

:01:26. > :01:36.is there tonight. Jackie, the lorry at the centre of

:01:37. > :01:42.the chaos on the Forth Road Bridge today was finally towed away at

:01:43. > :01:48.about half past four this afternoon, some 14 and a half hours after the

:01:49. > :01:51.accident. But the bridge remains closed for the time being because

:01:52. > :01:56.when the lorry was blown from the northbound carriageway to the

:01:57. > :02:00.southbound carriageway it caused damage to a long stretch of the

:02:01. > :02:05.central reservation and that has to be put right and made safe before

:02:06. > :02:09.vehicles can use the crossing again. It has been a difficult day for team

:02:10. > :02:10.is working on the bridge and for motorists making their way around

:02:11. > :02:20.this part of Scotland. The lorry had been travelling north

:02:21. > :02:25.in the early hours of this morning. Winds of 74 miles an hour blew it

:02:26. > :02:29.off balance throwing it across the central barrier. The driver was not

:02:30. > :02:33.seriously injured, the bridge had been closed to high sided vehicles

:02:34. > :02:40.because of the gale. The way it toppled onto the middle, it became

:02:41. > :02:46.entangled in the steel rod itself and we had to lift it up and remove

:02:47. > :02:49.it out, which is not easy, so we have had an operational resources

:02:50. > :02:55.out there with three recovery vehicles waiting for an opportunity

:02:56. > :03:00.to take that. Instead of easing, the weather worsened during the day.

:03:01. > :03:04.Traffic disruption across eastern and central Scotland was significant

:03:05. > :03:07.throughout the day and this evening, many drivers diverting via the

:03:08. > :03:11.Kincardine Bridge were stuck in lengthy tailbacks. There has been

:03:12. > :03:17.not a lot of movement, there has been frustration and people are late

:03:18. > :03:22.for work and they are taking silly risks. They are cutting each other

:03:23. > :03:26.up. Observing the road network from the nearby operations the transport

:03:27. > :03:32.minister said the driver was lucky to be alive and the cost to the

:03:33. > :03:36.economy would be high. It has closed off the bridge for the morning

:03:37. > :03:41.traffic and it has had an impact financially to Scotland, but our

:03:42. > :03:45.main objective is to ensure that individuals are safe and secondly we

:03:46. > :03:48.had to reopen the bridge in the best possible way we can. After hours of

:03:49. > :03:52.work in difficult conditions, possible way we can. After hours of

:03:53. > :03:55.engineers managed to write the lorry. Others have been working on

:03:56. > :04:03.replacement to repair the damaged central barrier. This is the worst

:04:04. > :04:07.crash damage to the bridge in its 53 year history. The lorry has been

:04:08. > :04:11.taken off the bridge, but it remains closed and will do so until later

:04:12. > :04:14.With every hour that passes, the costs rise.

:04:15. > :04:17.So, Andrew, it's looking better for tomorrow?

:04:18. > :04:26.Hopefully. We are told the crews are working flat out to repair the

:04:27. > :04:31.damage to the bridge and the hope is it will open by six o'clock tomorrow

:04:32. > :04:36.morning in time for the rush hour. They have not been able to open it

:04:37. > :04:39.in time for tonight's rush hour and thousands of commuters will be

:04:40. > :04:41.in time for tonight's rush hour and facing a miserable journey to try

:04:42. > :04:47.and get home as they did this morning when they were trying to get

:04:48. > :04:51.to work. A better picture tomorrow morning hopefully, but it may be

:04:52. > :04:55.difficult for motorists and drivers and travellers in other parts of the

:04:56. > :04:59.country because there is some bad weather on its way.

:05:00. > :05:02.And it's not just the central belt and Fife being affected by the high

:05:03. > :05:09.Craig Anderson is on the A9 south of Inverness.

:05:10. > :05:19.Yes, Jackie. It is a wee bit inclement here, but we are on one of

:05:20. > :05:22.the highest road in Scotland. Looking at power supplies, the power

:05:23. > :05:28.companies tell me they will have engineers in place to make sure that

:05:29. > :05:32.any problems caused by the weather are rectified as soon as possible.

:05:33. > :05:37.1500 people were left without electricity this morning because of

:05:38. > :05:42.the weather. On the ferries the Clyde and Hebrides routes were badly

:05:43. > :05:46.affected, half of the services were cancelled and the rest disrupted.

:05:47. > :05:49.That is the same in the Northern Isles and ferry passengers can

:05:50. > :05:54.expect the same tomorrow and possibly over the next 48 hours.

:05:55. > :05:59.There has been some flights disruption and if there is ice and

:06:00. > :06:06.snow overnight, flights could be disrupted again tomorrow. ScotRail

:06:07. > :06:09.has already rearranged some of their services between Inverness and the

:06:10. > :06:14.central belt for tomorrow. On the roads, well, we are at one of the

:06:15. > :06:21.highest roots in Scotland. At lower levels the report has to be that

:06:22. > :06:26.there are a few centimetres of snow and up here between 10-20

:06:27. > :06:32.centimetres, with winds forecast up to gale force 65 miles an hour. That

:06:33. > :06:36.can cause blizzards and drifting snow and already the snow here is

:06:37. > :06:41.lying on the road as the showers come down. Drivers are being warned

:06:42. > :06:46.to be prepared for the conditions and for a longer journey times and

:06:47. > :06:50.with the high winds there will be difficult driving conditions on

:06:51. > :06:52.those bridges and a lot more restrictions for larger vehicles as

:06:53. > :06:55.And a reminder you can get the latest weather and traffic

:06:56. > :06:59.updates on the BBC Scotland News website.

:07:00. > :07:02.Police will only be able to use stop and search powers where they have

:07:03. > :07:06.reasonable grounds to do so under a new code published today.

:07:07. > :07:08.If approved by parliament, the code will end so-called

:07:09. > :07:11."consensual" stop searches from May this year.

:07:12. > :07:19.Our political correspondent Lucy Adams reports.

:07:20. > :07:27.The aim was to cut violent crime, but as the police use of stop and

:07:28. > :07:32.search search to more than 600,000 a year, questions were raised about

:07:33. > :07:37.who they were searching and wide. We are going to make a strong statement

:07:38. > :07:41.and I will say from here on in we should not be searching young

:07:42. > :07:46.children under the age of consent on a consensual basis. Months later,

:07:47. > :07:51.the BBC revealed hundreds of children under the age of 12 were

:07:52. > :07:57.still being consensually searched. That in part led to today's draft

:07:58. > :08:01.code. What is important is that when stop and search is being used when

:08:02. > :08:06.necessary and proportionate, and it is being done within the law, what

:08:07. > :08:11.the new code does is make sure that the piece are clear about the powers

:08:12. > :08:15.they have. All officers are being trained to ensure the code is

:08:16. > :08:19.followed. Stop and search is a valuable tactic when it is applied

:08:20. > :08:24.fairly and proportionately and justifiably. It needs to be applied

:08:25. > :08:28.to the right people in the right places and at the right times. But

:08:29. > :08:34.some say the damage has already been done to public trust. It is hard to

:08:35. > :08:39.measure it, but there is a strong impression it caused damage to

:08:40. > :08:42.people's views of police and community relations in certain areas

:08:43. > :08:48.where the so-called consensual stop and search happened the most fun.

:08:49. > :08:53.And also it was used on children and young people. It is groups of young

:08:54. > :08:55.people like these that police Scotland are now going to have to

:08:56. > :09:00.persuade that this new code will make a difference and build

:09:01. > :09:07.relations which might have been undermined in the past. Just coming

:09:08. > :09:12.back from swimming we were heading home and they asked if it was OK to

:09:13. > :09:16.look in our bags and we said, no problem. It is quite intimidating,

:09:17. > :09:22.it is also embarrassing being stopped and searched at the side of

:09:23. > :09:25.the road. The police need to go into schools and teach them about the

:09:26. > :09:31.searchers and the stop and search laws and what the piece can and

:09:32. > :09:34.cannot do. From this May, officers will have to record everything. And

:09:35. > :09:40.search and there are grounds for doing so. Those searched will be

:09:41. > :09:42.given a receipt, but it may take more than this to rebuild trust with

:09:43. > :09:45.more than this to rebuild trust with the public.

:09:46. > :09:51.Police can still stop and search you, can't they?

:09:52. > :09:58.It is a small change in the wording, but it is important. It is in a

:09:59. > :10:04.sense in that the majority of searches they used to do was

:10:05. > :10:09.consensual. It was a misnomer. It was a friendly, hello, how are you

:10:10. > :10:15.doing? Do you mind if I look in your bag. But it was done on a nonlegal

:10:16. > :10:21.process and this was without scrutiny. The idea of the code is

:10:22. > :10:29.that it ends altogether. In the past we saw a massive increase, in 2013,

:10:30. > :10:36.640,000 searches, and 70% were what they call consensual. No more. This

:10:37. > :10:39.was going on even more than the Metropolitan police had used them.

:10:40. > :10:44.Now they have to have reasonable grounds. You cannot say, you look

:10:45. > :10:49.suspicious, I do not like what you are wearing, I will search you. They

:10:50. > :10:54.have to have intelligence that suggests somebody has a knife. We

:10:55. > :10:59.will run through all the legalities, explain what we are doing and why we

:11:00. > :11:03.are doing it and record it and that will be scrutinised. Every person

:11:04. > :11:09.going through it will get a receipt so they can challenge it as well. In

:11:10. > :11:13.future they will not be able to do this without scrutiny. Because of

:11:14. > :11:16.the scrutiny by politicians and journalists that figure has come

:11:17. > :11:18.down dramatically and last year there were just 90 1000.

:11:19. > :11:22.The SNP believes the UK government will have to postpone the start

:11:23. > :11:25.of the formal process of leaving the EU if there's no solution

:11:26. > :11:27.to the political crisis in Northern Ireland.

:11:28. > :11:29.There, the power sharing government has collapsed.

:11:30. > :11:32.Theresa May has promised to trigger Article 50 by the end of March.

:11:33. > :11:40.Our political correspondent Nick Eardley reports.

:11:41. > :11:46.Northern Ireland's former First Minister and her deputy. Martin

:11:47. > :11:51.McGuinness resigned last week over a controversial government funded

:11:52. > :11:56.heating scheme. Under power-sharing rules, the administration falls.

:11:57. > :11:59.Talks are ongoing, but ministers believe an election is likely and

:12:00. > :12:04.that can mean no new government for several weeks. I have said I will

:12:05. > :12:10.not trigger Article 50 until I think we have a UK approach and objectives

:12:11. > :12:15.for the negotiations. The Prime Minister wants to trigger Article 50

:12:16. > :12:20.in the next three months, but what if there is no administration in

:12:21. > :12:25.Northern Ireland? The SNP says that will make consultation impossible.

:12:26. > :12:32.In these circumstances will the Prime Minister postpone invoking

:12:33. > :12:38.Article 50? Would she postpone provoking Article 50 or will she

:12:39. > :12:43.just plough on regardless? Theresa May says she is hopeful a solution

:12:44. > :12:47.to the crisis can be found. It is still the case ministers are in

:12:48. > :12:51.place and obviously there are executives in place and we are still

:12:52. > :12:56.able to take the views of the Northern Ireland people. Theresa May

:12:57. > :13:01.has never wavered from her commitment to trigger Article 50 by

:13:02. > :13:06.the end of March, but her political opponents believe she has to

:13:07. > :13:09.properly consult a new Northern Ireland administration. The next

:13:10. > :13:10.talks between the Prime Minister and devolved administrations are due

:13:11. > :13:13.devolved administrations are due later this month.

:13:14. > :13:15.At Holyrood, the Finance Secretary Derek Mackay has faced

:13:16. > :13:17.tough questions from MSPs over his tax plans.

:13:18. > :13:20.Mr Mackay needs support from at least one other party to get

:13:21. > :13:23.I'm joined from Holyrood now by our political

:13:24. > :13:36.Let's talk some numbers. The Scottish government wants to

:13:37. > :13:40.maintain the standard rate of tax as it is. It does not want to give a

:13:41. > :13:45.big tax giveaway to higher earners as propose, but for the Chancellor

:13:46. > :13:51.there is one other number that matters and the fact that they do

:13:52. > :13:55.not have a majority and Derek Mackay needs a charm to tolerate his budget

:13:56. > :14:02.going through. There is a separate vote on tax as well as the budget.

:14:03. > :14:08.The Tories and the Labour Party, Derek Mackay has given up on them.

:14:09. > :14:12.They are standing very firmly against the SNP position. He is

:14:13. > :14:18.looking at the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party. There was a very

:14:19. > :14:21.sharp exchange with the Green Party overtaxation. Patrick Harvie could

:14:22. > :14:27.not see why there had to be a giveaway to the higher earners. Why

:14:28. > :14:31.are you doing the maximum of what you set out as something worth

:14:32. > :14:36.considering in the manifesto? What we are doing is in line with

:14:37. > :14:40.inflation. We will take tax decisions year to year and that is

:14:41. > :14:45.the position we have put across at the moment. That is the figure in

:14:46. > :14:52.line with inflation and that feels like the right thing to do. Why? It

:14:53. > :14:56.is our judgment of what is fair and balanced. You have a different view

:14:57. > :15:00.is our judgment of what is fair and on the structure of income tax and

:15:01. > :15:05.it fits within our manifesto commitment. It commands the support

:15:06. > :15:12.of the people and is fair and gives certainty at this time. So the Green

:15:13. > :15:16.Party is not happy. What about the Liberal Democrats? They will take

:15:17. > :15:23.some persuading as well. Derek Mackay does not want to concede on

:15:24. > :15:27.tax. He regards it as a carefully calibrated, balanced package. The

:15:28. > :15:32.SNP won rather more votes than the other parties, so he wants to make

:15:33. > :15:36.concessions on public spending rather than tax. The Liberal

:15:37. > :15:39.Democrats have their concerns about the tax package and they might be

:15:40. > :15:46.persuaded on elements like public spending and on a key issue to them,

:15:47. > :15:47.the provision of mental health. But right now Derek Mackay has not got

:15:48. > :15:52.the votes. You're watching BBC

:15:53. > :15:53.Reporting Scotland. A reminder of tonight's top story:

:15:54. > :15:56.The Forth Road Bridge remains closed until tomorrow after a lorry

:15:57. > :15:59.was blown over by high winds, causing massive travel disruption

:16:00. > :16:01.and leaving drivers frustrated. And still to come: We meet

:16:02. > :16:04.the university researcher developing new technology designed to help

:16:05. > :16:14.people with paralysed faces. An investigation has found

:16:15. > :16:16.a helicopter spun more than 180 degrees as it was landing

:16:17. > :16:19.on a North Sea platform. The Air Accidents Investigation

:16:20. > :16:21.branch has released initial findings of its inquiry

:16:22. > :16:24.into the incident last month. All S92 aircraft were

:16:25. > :16:28.grounded as a result. Rebecca Curran is at Aberdeen

:16:29. > :16:31.airport for us tonight. How much detail has been published

:16:32. > :16:36.in this report, Rebecca? This is the first official account

:16:37. > :16:39.we've had from the AAIB about the incident on the West Franklin

:16:40. > :16:42.platform on the 28th of December. The investigation focused on the

:16:43. > :16:48.tail rotor of the S92 aircraft. A part of the rotor,

:16:49. > :16:50.which you can see in this picture, was found to be

:16:51. > :16:54.in a severely distressed condition. When the helicopter came

:16:55. > :16:57.into land on the platform, it spun 187 degrees before

:16:58. > :17:00.coming to rest. No one was injured but it left

:17:01. > :17:04.significant gouge marks on the deck. Investigators say there had been

:17:05. > :17:08.a failure in a bearing in the rotor, which led to complete

:17:09. > :17:11.loss of control. There have been two other events

:17:12. > :17:14.involving the same type of aircraft, which saw reduced control

:17:15. > :17:18.of the rotor, but Sikorsky can't yet S92s around the world were grounded

:17:19. > :17:24.yesterday while urgent safety It was expected there would be

:17:25. > :17:30.a phased return to service today A number of flights did

:17:31. > :17:35.however go last night. CHC, which operated the helicopter

:17:36. > :17:41.involved, say they welcome today's report and they'll continue

:17:42. > :17:46.to support ongoing investigation They say they're confident

:17:47. > :17:52.the industry has acted swiftly to return the S92 to service as soon

:17:53. > :17:59.as it was safe to do so. A sheriff has concluded

:18:00. > :18:01.that the death of a woman who died after a lorry crashed into her home

:18:02. > :18:04.in Ayrshire, could not 55-year-old Catherine Bonner

:18:05. > :18:09.was watching TV when the truck driver, 57-year-old George Marshall,

:18:10. > :18:11.took a coughing fit and ploughed into her house

:18:12. > :18:15.in the village of Fairlie. The fatal accident inquiry heard

:18:16. > :18:17.the driver had blacked out after a short burst of coughing

:18:18. > :18:20.but had no history A refugee from war-torn Syria

:18:21. > :18:37.is developing ground breaking technology to help people

:18:38. > :18:38.with paralysed faces. Machmood Amir Alagha was given

:18:39. > :18:41.a scholarship by Glasgow university. His work involves creating

:18:42. > :18:43.a digital mask to capture the way partial paralysis

:18:44. > :18:44.affects people's expressions. This from our science

:18:45. > :18:56.correspondent Kenneth Macdonald. I am starting right now... One, two,

:18:57. > :19:02.three... Relax. Very good. Can you pull a face like this? Too many

:19:03. > :19:08.people can't. Injury or a condition like els palsy can cause visual

:19:09. > :19:12.paralysis, this technology is looking at what is wrong in four

:19:13. > :19:18.dimensions. Over time you get a video of the movement which is the

:19:19. > :19:21.fourth dimension. This is like a Halloween mask, composed of

:19:22. > :19:26.thousands of points. You get the mask and can form it to the face. To

:19:27. > :19:34.get a representation of any phase. This brilliant young researcher

:19:35. > :19:37.using technology, that's only half the story. Machmood Amir Alagha is

:19:38. > :19:41.from Aleppo in Syria, halfway through studying for his Masters

:19:42. > :19:47.degree in Glasgow, he became a refugee. By the end of the first

:19:48. > :19:52.year, the situation became mad. At some points, I had to apply for

:19:53. > :19:58.asylum in the UK. The asylum process was... It was harsh. His colleague

:19:59. > :20:02.supported his application to stay. If it was rejected, he would have

:20:03. > :20:08.been deported immediately. That, again, would have been very

:20:09. > :20:13.dangerous for him, and undermining immediately what he has achieved in

:20:14. > :20:18.the first year and destroy him as a human being. And, as a potential

:20:19. > :20:23.scientific researcher. Very good, one more time... Instead, he was

:20:24. > :20:29.given leave to remain and Glasgow University waived his fees. And a

:20:30. > :20:34.scholarship for one of four students. There could be global

:20:35. > :20:43.implications, since the 1970s, this has been the global scale for

:20:44. > :20:50.assessing patient consciousness, and he hopes to do the same for facial

:20:51. > :20:57.movement. You can compare facial speed and before and after, and that

:20:58. > :21:02.can really benefit patients. What it means is that a combination of
