Tonight, on Reporting Scotland: The Prime Minister confirms Brexit

:00:00.:00:08.

means that Britain will leave the single market -

:00:09.:00:11.

Nicola Sturgeon says that makes a second independence

:00:12.:00:14.

Does it make a second independence referendum all but inevitable? Well,

:00:15.:00:28.

I think that is very likely the case.

:00:29.:00:29.

Also on the programme: The two professional footballers judged

:00:30.:00:36.

to be rapists after this woman successfully brought a civil case

:00:37.:00:39.

Detectives hunting a gunman who shot a man outside a Glasgow primary

:00:40.:00:45.

:00:53.:00:54.

And a difficult story to swallow - the unlikely tale of the puppy

:00:55.:01:00.

which had to be operated on after eating

:01:01.:01:02.

The First Minister has told BBC Scotland that a second independence

:01:03.:01:24.

referendum is now closer after the Prime Minister announced

:01:25.:01:25.

that Britain would quit the European single market.

:01:26.:01:29.

Theresa May promised to consider Scottish options but warned

:01:30.:01:31.

she would do nothing that undermined what she called "the precious Union"

:01:32.:01:35.

In response, Nicola Sturgeon warned there must now be compromise or that

:01:36.:01:43.

a further referendum appeared "all but inevitable."

:01:44.:01:45.

This from our political editor Brian Taylor.

:01:46.:01:53.

Theresa May spoke to Nicola Sturgeon before delivering her speech today,

:01:54.:01:59.

but she already knew the First Minister's terms. Nicola Sturgeon

:02:00.:02:04.

would be fairer second independence referendum if Britain stayed in the

:02:05.:02:08.

single market or helped Scotland stay at a special deal. To

:02:09.:02:13.

strengthen the precious union between the four nations of the

:02:14.:02:19.

United Kingdom. The Prime Minister categorically ruled out option one -

:02:20.:02:24.

Britain would not hold onto bits of EU membership will stop what I am

:02:25.:02:27.

proposing cannot mean membership of the single market. So, downfall

:02:28.:02:32.

sturgeon option one. What about option two, a special deal for

:02:33.:02:38.

Scotland? Theresa May said she would consider a plan put forward by the

:02:39.:02:41.

Scottish Government, but there are clear limits. We won't agree on

:02:42.:02:45.

everything, but I look forward to working with the administration 's

:02:46.:02:50.

in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to deliver a Brexit that

:02:51.:02:52.

works for the whole of the United Kingdom. As we do so, our guiding

:02:53.:02:57.

principle must be to ensure that as we leave the EU, no new barriers to

:02:58.:03:03.

living in doing business within our own union are created. Nicola

:03:04.:03:07.

Sturgeon concedes that doesn't sound like a special deal for Scotland is

:03:08.:03:12.

on, but she says she will persist, arguing that Theresa May's overall

:03:13.:03:17.

approach is wrong. It is clear that Theresa May wants to take the UK

:03:18.:03:22.

after a hard Brexit cliff edge. The direction she set the day has not

:03:23.:03:26.

been driven by the rational best interests of the country. It's clear

:03:27.:03:29.

it has been driven by the obsessions of Ukip and the hard right of our

:03:30.:03:35.

own party. Given what you say, does it bring an independence referendum

:03:36.:03:40.

closer? Yes, undoubtedly. I said on the 24th of June that I thought it

:03:41.:03:44.

was highly likely. I have tried to compromise ever since, I put forward

:03:45.:03:50.

options in line with what I I would do, examined the options, and I

:03:51.:03:52.

remain committed to exhausting those, but I am not prepared to

:03:53.:03:55.

allow Scotland's interests simply to those, but I am not prepared to

:03:56.:04:00.

be cast aside. Does it make a second independence referendum all but

:04:01.:04:05.

inevitable? Well, I... I think that is very likely the case. What I have

:04:06.:04:10.

heard today from the Prime Minister is an inability to engage in

:04:11.:04:17.

discussions that further compromise. There comes a point of democratic

:04:18.:04:21.

principle, I think, and that is that if there is going to be such a

:04:22.:04:25.

fundamental change to the kind of country we are going to be, and

:04:26.:04:29.

we're looking as if we're going to be taken down a path that wasn't

:04:30.:04:33.

what was contemplated in 2014, then it may be that the Scottish people

:04:34.:04:37.

want to do that, but they shouldn't be forced to do that without having

:04:38.:04:41.

the ability to choose between that and what I would think is a future.

:04:42.:04:47.

But more bargaining to come first, and that Hollywood tonight, MSPs

:04:48.:04:52.

voted to endorse ministerial efforts to preserve Scotland's plays in the

:04:53.:04:53.

single market. To try to make sense

:04:54.:04:55.

of where this leaves us, I'm joined now by Brian at Holyrood,

:04:56.:04:58.

David Porter is in Westminster, and our Business and Economy

:04:59.:05:01.

editor Douglas Fraser First, Brian, the rhetoric has been

:05:02.:05:08.

ramped up about a second referendum at every stage of this Brexit debate

:05:09.:05:12.

- is it really all but inevitable? That is the phrase I put her, and

:05:13.:05:23.

she agreed with it. You know what, I That is the phrase I put her, and

:05:24.:05:30.

really do think it is looking that way. Left in peace, Nicola Sturgeon

:05:31.:05:35.

I don't think would be contemplating an independence referendum at this

:05:36.:05:37.

stage, but Brexit changes everything. Just as Theresa May. She

:05:38.:05:43.

supported the European single market, not least in the most recent

:05:44.:05:47.

Conservative manifesto, but now sounds assured in saying there could

:05:48.:05:52.

be advantages to a global route. Today, we saw a fundamental

:05:53.:05:55.

division, if you like, in Scottish and UK politics. If you can't -- if

:05:56.:06:03.

you support the Conservatives, Theresa May is saying, we listen to

:06:04.:06:07.

the people and a chair. Nationalists will say, which people?

:06:08.:06:09.

David, how likely is this renewed talk of an independence referendum

:06:10.:06:11.

Jackie, I think the short answer is, no, it will not. UK ministers and

:06:12.:06:22.

Theresa May herself are at pains to say they want to involve and engage

:06:23.:06:30.

with Eddie both administrations as the Brexit negotiations get

:06:31.:06:32.

underway, and they want to hear what the Scottish Government has the

:06:33.:06:35.

same. Listening to someone is not the same as saying you agree. Before

:06:36.:06:43.

her speech this morning, Theresa May spoke on the phone to Nicola

:06:44.:06:45.

Sturgeon and would have been perfectly aware of the First

:06:46.:06:48.

Minister's reaction when Theresa May will have told our it was her

:06:49.:06:52.

intention that she was going to leave the single market. The view

:06:53.:06:56.

from Downing Street is that talk of a second independence referendum is

:06:57.:06:59.

a distraction. They say it was all sorted out in 2014, and now we are

:07:00.:07:07.

in 2017, moving towards Brexit, and they argue that the decision to

:07:08.:07:11.

leave the European Union was taken by the whole of the UK. Therefore,

:07:12.:07:15.

it will be sorted out by the whole of the UK as well.

:07:16.:07:16.

Douglas, what has business been making of today's

:07:17.:07:20.

We have been told that Brexit means uncertainty. Businesses after more

:07:21.:07:34.

clarity about what a Brexit could look like. They have got that today,

:07:35.:07:39.

more of it than they expected from today's prime ministerial speech.

:07:40.:07:43.

They also wanted, certainly exporting businesses, to retain

:07:44.:07:48.

access to the single market, or at least a customs union, access to

:07:49.:07:51.

recruit workers from elsewhere in Europe. They haven't got any of

:07:52.:07:55.

that, but they have heard the Prime Minister set out plans for what she

:07:56.:08:00.

thinks could be at least as good, acknowledging their concerns, and

:08:01.:08:03.

other deals been struck with countries around the world. There

:08:04.:08:06.

was some scepticism about how much of that can be achieved through

:08:07.:08:10.

negotiation. This is a starting point of what Theresa May would like

:08:11.:08:13.

overtime. The other question is, how fast can this be achieved? That is

:08:14.:08:18.

the main concern, that there is a cliff edge, that after two years of

:08:19.:08:23.

negotiation we go over the edge. They want plans in place soon, and

:08:24.:08:29.

that is their main concern. They could seek out opportunities under a

:08:30.:08:35.

new regime. They have clarity, but in Scotland, they have another

:08:36.:08:39.

concern, because if we are moving towards another independence

:08:40.:08:42.

referendum in Scotland, there was less clarity for those that operate

:08:43.:08:46.

in Scotland. Douglas, thank you. And thank you to David and Brian.

:08:47.:08:49.

Former Scotland international footballer David Goodwillie

:08:50.:08:54.

rapists and ordered to pay ?100,000 in damages,

:08:55.:08:56.

despite never facing a criminal trial.

:08:57.:09:00.

The civil case was taken by Denise Clair, who waived her

:09:01.:09:02.

She said she was devastated when the Crown dropped

:09:03.:09:07.

the criminal case last year but she was determined

:09:08.:09:09.

Our correspondent Lucy Adams reports.

:09:10.:09:19.

David Goodwillie, scoring for his country in 2011. COMMENTATOR: It is

:09:20.:09:26.

a fantastic penalty from David Goodwillie. And his former

:09:27.:09:30.

team-mate, David Robb Dodson, playing for Dundee United. -- David

:09:31.:09:37.

Robertson. It was ruled today that both men break the niece Claire in

:09:38.:09:42.

2011, and they have been ordered to pay ?100,000 in damages. She says

:09:43.:09:46.

she was incapable of consenting because of her alcohol consumption.

:09:47.:09:53.

The judge found her to be cogent, and compelling. In a statement,

:09:54.:09:57.

Denise Claire said she is delighted but feels let down by a justice

:09:58.:10:02.

system that dropped the criminal case last year. The Crown Office

:10:03.:10:06.

says there was not sufficient evidence for a criminal prosecution.

:10:07.:10:10.

Experts say the threshold is different. If the Crown are going to

:10:11.:10:14.

take a case forward, they have to ask the question, have we got enough

:10:15.:10:19.

evidence to prove to a jury beyond reasonable doubt that this happened?

:10:20.:10:26.

The other option is our balance of probabilities, so it is not the same

:10:27.:10:31.

question being asked. Experts say that today's result could lead to

:10:32.:10:35.

far more victims of rape coming forward. We know that most rape

:10:36.:10:41.

cases reported to the police never come to court, which can be

:10:42.:10:43.

devastating for the person reporting the crime. This gives another

:10:44.:10:47.

option. It is the first civil case in living memory for rape will stop

:10:48.:10:52.

I think people will see this case anything, there is another way that

:10:53.:10:55.

I can get justice and validation that what happened to me was raped

:10:56.:11:00.

and was wrong. Goodwillie currently plays for Plymouth Argyle, and

:11:01.:11:04.

Robertson for Cowdenbeath. Both clubs said today they are examining

:11:05.:11:07.

the judgment and that neither man will play in the meantime. Lucy

:11:08.:11:11.

Adams, Reporting Scotland. The Scottish Government is to carry

:11:12.:11:13.

out a review of how doctors, pharmacists and other social care

:11:14.:11:15.

services are staffed It comes as latest figures show A

:11:16.:11:17.

waiting time targets were missed Our health correspondent,

:11:18.:11:21.

Lisa Summers, is at the Western Is this an admission

:11:22.:11:26.

that they haven't got I think there will be resistance if

:11:27.:11:44.

this were about asking GPs to work longer hours or putting pressure on

:11:45.:11:48.

overstretched services. The Scottish Government says this is not about

:11:49.:11:51.

making people work harder but about working more efficiently and

:11:52.:11:56.

integrating services in health and social care. There are challenges

:11:57.:12:02.

for hospitals on public holidays, as we can see from the poor A waiting

:12:03.:12:08.

Times published today. This place acts as a base for out of hours GP

:12:09.:12:13.

services, so this will be an extension of the review that is due

:12:14.:12:17.

to be published in the summer. The spotlight will fall on the Cabinet

:12:18.:12:20.

secretary tomorrow who will face questions in Parliament about trauma

:12:21.:12:26.

centres that were due to be in place by now.

:12:27.:12:27.

It's thought a gunman who shot a man outside a primary school yesterday

:12:28.:12:30.

had been hanging around the school gates the previous Friday.

:12:31.:12:32.

The shooting happened at St George's in the Pennilee area of Glasgow just

:12:33.:12:35.

as parents were dropping off their children.

:12:36.:12:41.

The victim was 35-year-old Ross Monaghan, who was cleared of murder

:12:42.:12:48.

in 2012. Extra police patrols have been put

:12:49.:12:58.

in place here for the next few days. Officers from the forensics

:12:59.:13:05.

Department spent the day trying to find bullet casings. There is still

:13:06.:13:12.

a significant police presence here. The force told us today that the

:13:13.:13:17.

gunman came round this corner here, pushing a brand-new badly, which we

:13:18.:13:25.

believe the firearm was inside. He crossed the road, shot at the

:13:26.:13:30.

victim, who were standing here, at a range of 10-15 metres, then made off

:13:31.:13:34.

with the buggy RAM that corner, where the police say he may have had

:13:35.:13:38.

a car waiting for him. -- round that corner. There was a man who met that

:13:39.:13:46.

description with a buggy with no child in it on Friday morning. Do

:13:47.:13:51.

you think he was doing a recce or that he intended to shoot that they?

:13:52.:13:57.

We are unsure. It may have been that he was just surveying the area prior

:13:58.:14:04.

to Monday's shooting. Police are appealing to anyone with information

:14:05.:14:05.

to come forward. Urgent work is needed to rebuild

:14:06.:14:08.

the relationship between Scotland's teachers and the exams body,

:14:09.:14:11.

the SQA, according to MSPs. A Holyrood committee says it heard

:14:12.:14:14.

"eye-opening" accounts of unclear guidance and mistakes

:14:15.:14:17.

in exam papers. The agency is promising

:14:18.:14:21.

improvements. Here's our education

:14:22.:14:24.

correspondent, Jamie McIvor. It was the biggest story to come out

:14:25.:14:37.

of the exam results for years. Tonight, it has emerged that the new

:14:38.:14:40.

higher maths exam was so difficult that the pass mark was love to 34%.

:14:41.:14:45.

A badly misjudged exam, adding to the worries some teachers had about

:14:46.:14:54.

the SQA. -- the pass mark was lowered to 34%. They have to make

:14:55.:15:00.

sure that things are smooth, transparent and easy to the

:15:01.:15:03.

teachers. At the end of the day, we are here to help the teachers to

:15:04.:15:05.

help the children, and to make sure it is easy for teachers to get the

:15:06.:15:11.

information they require. The SQA oversaw a shake-up to

:15:12.:15:14.

qualifications, most of which went smoothly, but there were big

:15:15.:15:18.

concerns - bureaucracy, workload and other mistakes, such as problems in

:15:19.:15:23.

a computing exam last year. We are pleased that the committee has

:15:24.:15:26.

recognised a very real pressure that schools, teachers and pupils have

:15:27.:15:30.

been under in the last few years with the changes to qualifications.

:15:31.:15:35.

We hope that their voice being added to the pressure will see some change

:15:36.:15:39.

moving forward. The committee wants improvements in the way the SQA

:15:40.:15:44.

communicates with teachers, and fresh efforts to avoid problems with

:15:45.:15:52.

exam questions. We offered the SQA the opportunity to be interviewed

:15:53.:15:55.

today, but they declined. They pointed us to a statement they

:15:56.:15:58.

already get, in which they say they will study the committee's

:15:59.:16:00.

recommendations and that the error recommendations and that the error

:16:01.:16:09.

-- they are committed to following guidance. Hollywood's education

:16:10.:16:13.

committee will expect its criticisms to get results.

:16:14.:16:18.

How would you feel about having to pay a tax to park your car at work?

:16:48.:16:52.

It's one idea being considered by ministers to help meet Scotland's

:16:53.:16:54.

Our environment correspondent, Kevin Keane, reports

:16:55.:16:57.

from Nottingham, where a Workplace Parking

:16:58.:16:58.

This is a city where trams and buses are at the heart of its transport

:16:59.:17:14.

policy. This tram... The latest extension to Nottingham's tram

:17:15.:17:18.

network opened last year and it's being paid for by car drivers.

:17:19.:17:24.

Drivers like Tim, whose business is charged almost ?400 for each parking

:17:25.:17:30.

space. Some firms passed the levy on to drivers. Others, like this

:17:31.:17:34.

unwith, take the hit themselves. I think there is a danger of cities

:17:35.:17:38.

being anti-car and cities who are think there is a danger of cities

:17:39.:17:42.

not anti-car I think will have an edge. We like our cars. The

:17:43.:17:49.

Workplace Parking Levy is almost universally disliked by the

:17:50.:17:52.

businesses which pay it and, in some areas, it's creating problems which

:17:53.:17:57.

didn't exist, as drivers park on the roadside instead of the car park.

:17:58.:18:03.

Tomorrow is our meeting... John Townsend runs a firm which doesn't

:18:04.:18:06.

have any spaces. He found it to be such of a problem he moved part of

:18:07.:18:11.

his business out of Nottingham. People who work for larger

:18:12.:18:15.

companies, who don't want to pay the levy, have parked here. People who

:18:16.:18:18.

run businesses take up the spaces early in the morning. By the time my

:18:19.:18:22.

staff get here there is absolutely nowhere to park at all. The levy

:18:23.:18:27.

raced more than ?34 million in revenue in the first four years of

:18:28.:18:32.

its existence. The funds have been reinvested in transport

:18:33.:18:35.

infrastructure with the new tram its flagship pro 8 jebth. A big

:18:36.:18:39.

investment was made in Nottingham's railway station, which has been

:18:40.:18:43.

fully revamped for the Council it's a classic carp rot and stick

:18:44.:18:46.

approach. It's certainly about providing good options for people

:18:47.:18:50.

that are not just simply using their cars, but I think it's about

:18:51.:18:54.

recognising that in a inner city, not just now, in 10 years, 20 years

:18:55.:18:59.

or 30 years time you have to put a premium on car usage and car parking

:19:00.:19:04.

spaces. If you don't do that you end up with a gridlocked city. The

:19:05.:19:10.

university's bill is almost ?1 million. They have a system of

:19:11.:19:15.

recouping their money based on salary and engine emissions. Those

:19:16.:19:20.

in charge tell me it works. It is making a difference. It continues to

:19:21.:19:24.

help to reduce the number of vehicles on our campuses. There was

:19:25.:19:31.

a lot of objection when the levy was introduced, it's not proved

:19:32.:19:34.

politically damaging. Environmental groups who support the Workplace

:19:35.:19:38.

Parking Levy say bringing it to Scotland would demonstrate a real

:19:39.:19:39.

commitment to reducing car use. She first found fame

:19:40.:19:46.

as Dr Who's companion and has since won a string of roles

:19:47.:19:48.

in Hollywood films. But Inverness born Karen Gillan

:19:49.:19:51.

has always been keen This week, she's been making her

:19:52.:19:53.

first feature film in Scotland and it could have some big benefits

:19:54.:19:57.

for the homegrown industry. Our arts correspondent,

Pauline McLean, reports. A hushed waiting room in a Scottish

station. But it's not a train they are waiting on but actor turned

director, Karen Gillan. She has a debut feature coming out called

:20:18.:20:22.

Tupperware Party. When I fist started when I was a young child

:20:23.:20:25.

expressing an interest in all of this I had a video camera and I was

:20:26.:20:31.

directing little horror short films at the time. It feels weirdly like

:20:32.:20:35.

I'm back where it started. It feels exactly the same everything is on a

:20:36.:20:40.

slightly bigger scale now. The film which Karen wrote an stars in deals

:20:41.:20:44.

with the sensitive subject of suicide. It's the first and smallest

:20:45.:20:48.

of five films planned by the new American company, Mount Hollywood

:20:49.:20:52.

had to come to Scotland. I'm happy we did. It's great working here. We

:21:01.:21:05.

had an amazing time. We are moving some of our other projects to

:21:06.:21:10.

Scotland because of our - how much we enjoyed working here. That, say

:21:11.:21:15.

those who work here all year round, is why Scotland needs its own film

:21:16.:21:19.

studio and soon. International productions come to Scotland anyway.

:21:20.:21:22.

They come for lots of specific things. They are staying and they

:21:23.:21:26.

are doing more and we have some big films coming in this year, but you

:21:27.:21:32.

know that would be the norm, not the exception, if we had a proper

:21:33.:21:37.

industry-sized stage to retain those projects here. As for Karen, whose

:21:38.:21:43.

career began as Doctor Who's assistant, Amelia Pond, it's set to

:21:44.:21:51.

be a busy year with three films in the can and she will bring back her

:21:52.:21:55.

character Nebula, which will be the can and she will bring back her

:21:56.:21:59.

partly filmed in Scotland. It's amazing. Will you be back here? I

:22:00.:22:07.

hope so. I fear it will be sod's law but it will happen in Atlanta where

:22:08.:22:12.

the rest of the filming is happening. We'll see.

:22:13.:22:16.

The Scotland women's national coach, Anna Signeul, will step down

:22:17.:22:18.

after the Uefa Euro 2017 finals this summer to become head coach

:22:19.:22:21.

The Swede has been in the post for 12 years.

:22:22.:22:25.

The news comes as she prepares Scotland for their first-ever

:22:26.:22:27.

The Scotland team arrived in Cyprus yesterday to prepare for the

:22:28.:22:33.

European Championships. That's when they were told their head coach of

:22:34.:22:35.

12 years would be leaving them. Nothing is for ever, you know, when

:22:36.:22:40.

you work in sport and when you are coach. That is eventually what is

:22:41.:22:43.

going to happen. I think this is a good way of ending. I think it's

:22:44.:22:51.

also good opportunity for me, too. To continue with another job. The

:22:52.:22:55.

women's game in Scotland looks very different since Signeul first

:22:56.:22:59.

arrived in 2005. She has played a key role in introducing an Academy

:23:00.:23:03.

system to support the development of talented players. The former

:23:04.:23:07.

Scotland skipper, Julie Fleeting, was one of the first to welcome

:23:08.:23:14.

Signeul when she arrived? 12 years ago, as a player, you trained twice

:23:15.:23:19.

a week and played your game on a under is. There wasn't a great deal

:23:20.:23:22.

of focus on how you lived your life away from football.

:23:23.:23:26.

COMMENTATOR: Thought required from Signeul. Signeul inherited a team

:23:27.:23:30.

with a poor international record, but she refused to turn her back on

:23:31.:23:34.

the long game. She developed her squad and in the autumn Scotland

:23:35.:23:38.

qualified for their first major torn wment this victory over Iceland. Now

:23:39.:23:44.

in Cyprus, they face a friendly double-header against Denmark.

:23:45.:23:47.

Signeul says she is determined her announcement to leave for Finland

:23:48.:23:49.

will not impact their preparations. You may have heard of Mack the Knife

:23:50.:23:56.

? well, meet Macie the knife. Macie is a 15-week-old Staffordshire

:23:57.:24:00.

bull terrier who swallowed a large kitchen knife and lived

:24:01.:24:02.

to tell the tale. The Pdsa who treated her say it's

:24:03.:24:05.

not unusual for dogs to eat all sorts of objects they shouldn't,

:24:06.:24:08.

but this case is among the most Macie a 15-year-old old staffy was

:24:09.:24:22.

looking for treats today. Late one night in December, her owner thought

:24:23.:24:26.

this playful pup was shoebg choking on a toy. I thought there was

:24:27.:24:30.

something in her throat. I thought she was oaking on the part, the

:24:31.:24:35.

squeezy part of the toy. She made a choking sound - like, this squeal

:24:36.:24:39.

came. I knew something was hurting her. That's how I phoned the vet.

:24:40.:24:46.

X-rays clearly showed up it wasn't a toy she had swallowed but an eight

:24:47.:24:50.

inch kitchen knife. I was absolutely shocked. Shocked. I couldn't believe

:24:51.:24:54.

that she'd managed to swallow an entire knife. It was a knife I used

:24:55.:24:59.

to peel the potatoes I don't know how she managed to get it out of the

:25:00.:25:05.

dish water because it has a black plastic handle which the vet said

:25:06.:25:09.

would have been appealing to her. The Pdsa who took care of her said

:25:10.:25:14.

it's an amazing case and she's a lucky dog. If it had been the

:25:15.:25:18.

opposite way round and it had been this end first, it would have been

:25:19.:25:22.

fatal. She wouldn't be here to tell the tale. The only sign of the

:25:23.:25:27.

puppy's trauma is the scar where vets operated to remove the knife.

:25:28.:25:33.

I'm so thankful that she's actually... Survived. Macie is not

:25:34.:25:41.

the only dog who is curious about what is in the dish washer. As this

:25:42.:25:46.

family found out, that can be very dangerous indeed. Let's get the

:25:47.:25:57.

weather now from Christopher. If you are in the west the forecast may be

:25:58.:26:01.

difficult to swallow over the next few minutes! Sorry. It will be

:26:02.:26:04.

cloudy across most of the west of the country over the next few days.

:26:05.:26:08.

Fairly gloomy at times as well. High pressure in charge keeping things

:26:09.:26:13.

cloudy, mostly dry and also milded with that south-westerly. Some

:26:14.:26:17.

sunshine today across the north-east and the east in general. That will

:26:18.:26:24.

continue tomorrow. For many, fairly ledden skies. Tonight largely dry,

:26:25.:26:27.

cloudy and mostly mild. Here is the chart, there are a few spots of

:26:28.:26:31.

light rain or drizzle in the west and north-west where the cloud is

:26:32.:26:35.

thickest. Murk around the south-west and across the north-east, here some

:26:36.:26:38.

clear spells. Temperatures falling away. A touch of frost. For many, no

:26:39.:26:42.

lower than around Steven or eight overnight. It will be windy for

:26:43.:26:46.

Shetland. Elsewhere the winds will be light. Tomorrow morning a breezy

:26:47.:26:52.

start to the far north, the Western Isles and the northern isle Seb. The

:26:53.:26:58.

best of the sunshine across the north-east. By mid afternoon, around

:26:59.:27:03.

3.00pm, largely dry and cloudy across most of central and southern

:27:04.:27:07.

Scotland, nine maybe ten Celsius. Winds light. Brighter moments to

:27:08.:27:11.

East Lothian in towards the eastern borders. Further north, more

:27:12.:27:17.

guaranteed through Angus, Aberdeenshire in towards Inverness

:27:18.:27:20.

shire. Elsewhere fairly cloudy and a few spots of rain most likely up

:27:21.:27:24.

towards Shetland. The winds will continue to ease through the course

:27:25.:27:27.

of the day. Little change as we head through the rest of Wednesday in

:27:28.:27:30.

towards Wednesday night. Come Thursday, we do it all again. It's

:27:31.:27:36.

mostly cloudy, mostly dry and mostly mild. Where the cloud is thickest,

:27:37.:27:42.

light drizzle. Something brighter to the west. That is because, come

:27:43.:27:46.

Friday, we still have high pressure and the winds around it in a

:27:47.:27:51.

clock-wise motion, we are dragging in colder, but dryer air. It travels

:27:52.:27:55.

around the high and hopefully that means across western parts should be

:27:56.:27:58.

a little brighter by Friday. That's the forecast for now. . it Thank you

:27:59.:28:01.

very much. That's all from us. Goodbye.
