:09:13. > :09:16.that of Scottish enterprise. Local decision-making will still take
:09:17. > :09:21.place, they say. This distributor near Inverness has been helped by
:09:22. > :09:25.grants administered by the board and general business support. It was
:09:26. > :09:31.formed almost 15 years ago and from the outset, H ie helped us in all
:09:32. > :09:38.sorts of aspects of business improvement from marketing, brand
:09:39. > :09:43.work, to best practice, process innovation, things like that.
:09:44. > :09:47.Ministers say the change will boost growth will stop the Conservatives
:09:48. > :09:54.say it is about centralisation. It is the board that makes HIE special,
:09:55. > :09:58.having a separate board allows HIE to use experience and expertise of
:09:59. > :10:02.business leaders to further its aims. Labour back them. The more
:10:03. > :10:08.digging we do on this the more it seems clear they are making it up as
:10:09. > :10:12.they go along. They're only aim is centralisation, ignoring the needs
:10:13. > :10:16.of the Highlands and Islands. The economy secretary said he is not
:10:17. > :10:24.getting rid of Highlands and Islands enterprise or HIE for short. We will
:10:25. > :10:33.also protect local decision-making, management and delivery. HIE will
:10:34. > :10:38.not be abolished. Yes, 64, no, 63. With no abstentions, the motion as
:10:39. > :10:43.amended as agreed. The government was defeated with MSPs calling for
:10:44. > :10:46.the decision to abolish the board to be reversed. It is believed
:10:47. > :10:51.ministers will seek cross-party talks to find a way forward, but the
:10:52. > :10:52.opposition said the Scottish Government must listen to the will

:11:14. > :11:15.for season ticket holders, which was announced in the Scottish
:11:16. > :11:18.Government's draft budget. It's one idea being considered

:11:46. > :11:51.outside Oslo. Since 2010 homes and businesses here have been heated
:11:52. > :11:55.using water from the fjords. It is extracted at about 8 degrees and
:11:56. > :12:01.returned at around four, the heat drawn under pressure is enough to
:12:02. > :12:06.create hot walks for a huge network of radiators -- hot water. The heat
:12:07. > :12:10.pumps were made in Scotland. These are refrigeration units used to

:12:17. > :12:19.more or less doing this in reverse. Equipment like this made in Glasgow
:12:20. > :12:28.was exactly what was used in the system in Norway. Very similar to
:12:29. > :12:31.Norway in the layout. The director of Star Renewables has tried to
:12:32. > :12:36.convince politicians hear of the merits of heat pumps. They need
:12:37. > :12:39.electricity but are kinder to the environment than gas boilers or
:12:40. > :12:46.electric heating, so why the reluctance? I think it is an
:12:47. > :12:52.abstract concept that we can harvest the river the heat, rivers are Chile
:12:53. > :12:56.already. It is down to bringing a combination of technology we produce
:12:57. > :12:59.in our factory and also the imagination and desire of the
:13:00. > :13:07.communities and government to see better solutions. District heating
:13:08. > :13:12.does exist in Scotland. For more than a decade Aberdeen has built a
:13:13. > :13:17.network of hot water pipes for council flats and public buildings.
:13:18. > :13:22.2500 properties are served from this one building and their heating bills
:13:23. > :13:28.are significantly less. With this, it is created by gas-fired
:13:29. > :13:33.electricity generators who sell power to the grid. It is not carbon
:13:34. > :13:37.free, but it could be. When the infrastructure is built you could
:13:38. > :13:43.bolt on the front end of the technology, as they improve and
:13:44. > :13:49.become more mature. Heating accounts for more than half of our energy use
:13:50. > :13:51.and Scotland. Whether ministers see this as the answer will be revealed

:15:35. > :15:38.and bacon. But I would be wrong. The one that I would choose is the high

:15:45. > :15:50.I will have a busy morning, so I am less likely to grab an unhealthy
:15:51. > :15:52.snack. Protein is the key, but it is better if it is plant protein and we
:15:53. > :15:59.can grow it here. We ran studies better if it is plant protein and we

:17:37. > :17:40.about life in the slow lane? The idea was dreamt up after staff were
:17:41. > :17:44.trained to recognise the particular needs of customers living with
:17:45. > :17:48.dementia. Just by giving people a bit more time at the checkout, can

:22:42. > :22:46.now knew he was still alive. He moved, he was married to my
:22:47. > :22:52.grandmother. And he became a hospital porter. Sid died in 1973
:22:53. > :22:58.and his family didn't know his watch, kept safe in Canada for eight
:22:59. > :23:01.decades, had been returned to the Riverside Museum, until BBC Scotland
:23:02. > :23:05.shared an appeal for information. Today they saw it for the first
:23:06. > :23:09.time, and despite the curator's offered to return the watch, they
:23:10. > :23:13.wanted to stay in the collection. It's a bit of history, it's better
:23:14. > :23:20.if it stays here, then my future family can come and see it. They'll
:23:21. > :23:25.have my memories. And the watch which Sid gave way almost 80 years
:23:26. > :23:29.ago, will go on display in the museum shortly, along with the full
:23:30. > :23:34.story of an ordinary man and an extraordinary tale of survival.
:23:35. > :23:36.He was one of the highest paid sportsmen in the world.
:23:37. > :23:39.So what was American Footballer, Marshawn Lynch, doing on a BMX bike
:23:40. > :23:42.in Paisley and very nearly coming to a sticky end.
:23:43. > :23:58.A wheelie on Paisley high Street which nearly ended very badly
:23:59. > :24:04.indeed. This American visitor is clearly more used to riding on the
:24:05. > :24:13.right. But dodging and weaving, as Marshawn Lynch's 's bestiality on
:24:14. > :24:17.the American football fields. -- speciality on the American football
:24:18. > :24:22.fields. He is one of the game's best running backs of recent times. It is
:24:23. > :24:26.thought he was at Paisley for a spot of promotional filming for this
:24:27. > :24:31.year's Super Bowl in Houston, Texas. As well as dicing with death on his
:24:32. > :24:36.bike, it seems this huge American football star did spend some time in
:24:37. > :24:40.that spot. But what he was doing there and which tartan may have
:24:41. > :24:45.taken his fancy, that has been kept under wraps. All the staff have had
:24:46. > :24:50.to sign a gagging clause. Very Hollywood. The current crop of NFL
:24:51. > :24:55.players in Britain to promote their games in London this autumn are most
:24:56. > :25:00.amused at the antics of a man seen as a sporting hero. I think he is
:25:01. > :25:05.retiring now so he has more leveraged to go and do crazy things.
:25:06. > :25:10.I think that is just him being him, staying true to who he is and having
:25:11. > :25:13.fun. He's a guy who doesn't trust his instincts and his body so he
:25:14. > :25:17.probably wasn't worried about it the whole time.
:25:18. > :25:25.I think he nearly retired the ever! Now the weather forecast.
:25:26. > :25:36.It was a cloudy day for many, beautiful blue skies in Moray.
:25:37. > :25:40.Tonight, mostly dry and mild. If you've had sunshine today, some
:25:41. > :25:43.clear skies tonight could see the temperature dip into freezing.
:25:44. > :25:50.Patchy outbreaks of rain in the far north-west on the Northern Isles.
:25:51. > :25:54.Temperatures foremost around 6-8 . We've had those clear skies today,
:25:55. > :26:00.clear skies tonight and a touch of frost perhaps some fog as well.
:26:01. > :26:04.Tomorrow, similar to do today. Largely dry, mostly cloudy, and once

:26:44. > :26:47.West. Little change through Thursday night. Any clear spells leading to
:26:48. > :26:53.temperatures falling away. Friday, and high pressure still with us, but
:26:54. > :26:57.with the winds going around in a clockwise motion, will be dragging
:26:58. > :27:00.in colder, drier air from the near continent and delivering ink it
:27:01. > :27:05.across West and north western parts of the country. That dry air will
:27:06. > :27:10.mean more sunshine. After a gloomy week, more sunshine coming through
:27:11. > :27:14.here. Hopefully improving for the Glasgow area. Into the weekend,
:27:15. > :27:19.high-pressure staying with us. Largely dry, there will be some
:27:20. > :27:23.brightness, some sunshine around. Not wall-to-wall sunshine. Average
:27:24. > :27:25.temperatures and in the north-west some patchy rain.
:27:26. > :27:27.Now, a reminder of tonight's main news.
:27:28. > :27:29.The SNP has accused the Prime Minister of pursuing
:27:30. > :27:31.a "little Britain Brexit" - which would hit jobs
:27:32. > :27:47.I'll be back with the headlines at 8pm, and the late bulletin just
