To the north of the country. -- especially to the north of the | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
country. A three year old boy dies | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
after being knocked down We look at the changing face | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
of the jobs market as the latest figures show more people | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
are looking for work. A lot of students have their own | :00:19. | :00:30. | |
dream of doing their own thing, that seems to be a chef trait. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
Also on the programme, a Holyrood inquiry looks | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
at whether the gap between men and women's pay is having | :00:37. | :00:39. | |

A three-year-old boy has died after he was knocked down | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
The incident happened yesterday in the village of Crossgates. | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
This farm is about a mile north of the village Crossgates near | :01:19. | :01:31. | |
Dunfermline, it was here yesterday evening that the three-year-old boy | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
was knocked down by a vehicle on the farm. He has been named as Stuart | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
Nelson. The emergency services were called just after five o'clock but | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
they were not able to save him and he was reportedly to have died at | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
the scene. This tragic event has affected people here and the local | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
community council said the family are highly thought of and respected. | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
The local minister said the news has shocked and stunned people. It is so | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
sad. It is the parents who have the heartbreak. I would not like to lose | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
a son or daughter at that age. Tragic news. What happened at | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
tea-time last night. It is one of the times that everyone is pulling | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
together, sending condolences to the family. Police are now investigating | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
the incident. The Health and Safety Executive said it is aware of the | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
incident and is also making enquiries. | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
The number of Scots seeking work in the final three months of last | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
year was up by 6,000, to reach 135,000. | :02:38. | :02:38. | |
That's while the number of people IN work was also up. | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
And new figures show the productivity of Scottish | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
Our business and economy editor, Douglas Fraser, joins us now. | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
The monthly labour force survey shows unemployment slightly up | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
in Scotland and slightly down across the UK as a whole. | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
The jobless rate reached 4.9% - a notch | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
Over the whole of last year, there was a drop in Scots | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
But with economic inactivity rates rising, there was also a drop | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
of the number in work, by 20,000, both those | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
Compare that with the really striking story about the jobs market | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
across the rest of the UK last year, with employment up by more | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
than 300,000, and most of those going to women, working full-time. | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
Now, one of the main changes underlying these numbers has been | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
Even places where, as a customer, you might think workers are earning | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
a wage, increasingly, they're running | :03:43. | :03:43. | |
a small business, for which they need | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
We are starting with a salmon which is like... You just want a job, a | :03:46. | :03:54. | |
pay packet, but the modern jobs market is not that simple. Two soups | :03:55. | :04:04. | |
and two chickens and two beef. In catering and hospitality at the city | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
of Glasgow College the ability to run your own business affairs can be | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
as important as kitchen skills. There is inspiration on hand | :04:13. | :04:13. | |
as important as kitchen skills. Masterchef winner. There is a | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
mixture of students, whether they go into self-employment or work for big | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
companies, but many students have their own dream of having their own | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
restaurant and it seems to be a kind of chef trait, they want to be doing | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
their own thing. Next door this hair salon takes those with cutting | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
skills and helps them build up their cutting edge business mouse. -- | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
cutting edge business intelligence. People have often done this of their | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
own backs, but these business skills do not come naturally. It is about | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
how to enter contract and how to run a column and how to manage your | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
money and how to pay for your stock. Joanne Pinkerton has taken her hair | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
cutting skills around the world but the trade winds have brought her | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
back home to a different jobs market. What has changed, not just | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
as simple as going into a salon at the end on a Saturday, you get a | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
brown paper kit and that initial wage. What is happening now, when | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
they have finished their training, they want to know, what am I allowed | :05:22. | :05:29. | |
to do? What does this contract mean? So Joanne is renting a chair in this | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
new College salon where the tips aren't just from customers but from | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
In other figures out today, pay rose last year by 2.6%, | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
And that's while prices are on the way up. | :05:41. | :05:50. | |
The inflation figure rose this week to 1.8% - | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
the gap between them represents the squeeze on real spending power. | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
Scotland's retailers reflected on figures for January sales. | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
After a merry Christmas at the tills, they said | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
the start of this year looked 'dreich' to them. | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
And signs of improvement in Scotland's productivity, | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
nearly closing the gap with the UK as a whole. | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
This measure of efficiency is vital to our economic well-being | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
and rising living standards, and neither Scotland nor Britain has | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
The data tells us that in 2015, business services, finance | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
and construction have all been improving, but manufacturing? | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
A man has been convicted of a murder in North Lanarkshire that happened | :06:26. | :06:51. | |
James McGowan killed Owen Brannigan at a house in Coatbridge. | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
He was also convicted of headbutting a man at this | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
Later in the same evening he went on to a house | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
where he found his former brother in law and attacked him repeatedly. | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
McGowan admitted what he'd done during phone calls to a mental | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
health helpline while he was living in Adelaide in southern Australia. | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
He was extradidated to Scotland last year to face trial. | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
He had returned to the house with his friend, Thomas Stewart, who is | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
now deceased, as well. They had had a drink in the evening and were | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
settled down to watch the football, when Owen fell asleep on the couch. | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
James McGowan came in to the house and he was armed with a knife and he | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
set about stabbing Owen repeatedly on the couch. | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
Why do women still earn less money than men? | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
That's the question MSPs are asking as an inquiry's launched into how | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
Despite laws being introduced on equal pay almost 50 years ago - | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
on average, full-time women workers in Scotland earn 6% less than men. | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
Our political correspondent Andrew Kerr has more. | :07:41. | :07:50. | |
1970, Glasgow, the year equal pay became law, a lot has changed, but | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
maybe not that much. Going on current trends, research suggests | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
the pay gap won't be eradicated until 2069. And equalising women's | :08:06. | :08:14. | |
productivity could add almost ?600 billion to the UK economy. | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
Campaigners explained why full-time women workers still earn 6% less | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
than their male counterparts. It goes far beyond pay discrimination, | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
there is still a stark segregation in the types of job that men and | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
women do, with women more likely to be found in low paid undervalued | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
jobs such as cleaning, care and retail and admin. Women still do the | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
bulk of underpaid caring, and coupled with a lack of flexible | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
working, that means women are less likely to be found in higher paid | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
senior positions. So caring responsibilities could have a | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
long-term scarring effect on pay, pension and promotion prospects. | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
MSPs want to hear your views. How does this affect an impact the | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
Scottish economy, could more be done and could it be beneficial? We want | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
to look at this with an open mind and see what we come up with. If | :09:10. | :09:19. | |
closing the Bay -- pay gap can help the economy, it stands to reason it | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
can boost business. I've seen the positive intent and positive things | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
that can help the economy, having women on board, if we have a more | :09:29. | :09:38. | |
diverse workforce. For some the way ahead is complex but for others | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
straightforward. We worked just as hard, most of the time even better. | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
We just do it. It is not that hard. If you take tea breaks -- if you | :09:51. | :09:59. | |
take breaks to have kids, you should not be penalised. It is not a | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
straightforward question. It is a nightmare to work that one out | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
because it has not been sorted out for, when was the gender equality | :10:09. | :10:16. | |
act? 1970. We have a long way to go. Employers politicians and society as | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
a whole now have to see how to make more progress after 50 years of | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
trying. A special law to protect shopworkers | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
faced with physical or verbal abuse from customers, | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
is being called for by The organisation says its members | :10:31. | :10:31. | |
are entitled to the same legal protection from the public as those | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
in the emergency services. This attack happened in Glasgow last | :10:36. | :10:48. | |
year. And for many shop workers, abuse, verbal and sometimes physical | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
and even violent, is on the increase. You made the front page | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
news. This man was attacked by a metal bar in his shop in Edinburgh | :10:59. | :11:07. | |
and still has the scars. The stitches in these fingers, and | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
stitches in here. They have cleaned up my face and this and that, but | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
there was blood everywhere in the shop. Barbara who works in Fife has | :11:18. | :11:28. | |
this advice for the don't stand up to them because you don't know, stay | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
behind the till and do the thing you are meant to do, phone the police. | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
In the last year there has been a 40% increase in violence and other | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
forms of abuse against retail workers over the period before. In | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
Scotland in a survey of 128 shops, 92% said they had experienced abuse | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
either verbal or physical in the last year. With the owners of | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
retailers to check the age and ID of people buying things like alcohol, | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
there are fears they could be more at risk of abuse. And so there are | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
calls for tougher laws to protect those behind the tills. We had a | :12:06. | :12:14. | |
robbery last night. There is a law which protects Boadicea workers from | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
violence, a specific category of us, and also in terms of impeding them, | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
so you can't obstruct emergency workers. We want to extend that | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
principle, we are saying if we are asking retailers to uphold the law, | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
they need the protection of the law in terms of physically, from | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
violence, but also just having the ability to disable I'm doing my duty | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
and it is illegal to stop me from doing it. -- having the ability to | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
say I'm doing my duty. Surely no one should feel unsafe in their | :12:47. | :12:47. | |
workplace. A three year old boy dies | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
after being knocked down Kilmarnock are looking | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
for a new manager after Scotland will have to play | :12:56. | :13:05. | |
the remainder of this season's Six Nations rugby championship | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
without their captain, Greg Laidlaw will play no further | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
part in the competition Our sports reporter David Currie | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
joins us now from Murrayfield. Yes - after a promising | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
start to the Six Nations with a heroic win against | :13:25. | :13:35. | |
Ireland, and a narrow, bonus point defeat to France, | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
Scotland will have to play their three remaining matches | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
without their leader on the pitch. Ankle ligament damage ruling him out | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
of two home games here against Wales and Italy, and sandwiched | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
between them an away trip There's far more to a captain's | :13:50. | :14:00. | |
rolled an organisation and motivating players -- captain 's | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
role. Talking with royalty and other VIPs before matches will now be | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
another man's responsibility for the rest of the Six Nations. Greg | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
Laidlaw's absence will be felt. He has been hugely influential for a | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
number of years, from just before the World Cup, really, and he will | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
be missed. His goal-kicking will be a loss and his leadership in | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
big-ticket and his game management. He is a hugely important figure. -- | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
leadership in particular. He is so important so it will be felt. Our | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
chances have to go down. His leadership powers and his kicking | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
prowess under pressure helped Scotland beat Ireland at | :14:46. | :14:53. | |
Murrayfield. They recorded their first opening-day victory since | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
2006. His influence over this year's tournament ended during the defeat | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
by France in Paris on Sunday. One former Scotland player says the | :15:05. | :15:12. | |
scrum-half is not in -- is not irreplaceable but you could argue | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
Ali Price is quicker and he is more eager and he has a better pass and | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
he plays the system every week with Glasgow so I would not panic about | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
Greg Laidlaw not being in the team. So what of the leadership role? Who | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
should take the captain 's armband? A number of captains, Josh is the | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
captain with Glasgow, but I would go with Jonny Gray, he is the | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
co-captain at Glasgow and he knows what goes with being a captain and | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
it won't affect his performance. It won't faze him and I would go with | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
him, Jonny Gray. The decision is for the head coach Vern Cotter. One he | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
has time to make. The next Scotland match is a week on Saturday against | :16:00. | :16:08. | |
Wales. Who does Vern Cotter go to when his go to man goes home? That | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
is a question which will be discussed in rugby clubs and bars | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
between now and whenever Vern Cotter goes public with his decision. | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
Thanks for joining us. Plans to significantly increase | :16:18. | :16:25. | |
threaten wild moorland according to mountaineers and gamekeepers. | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
They've jointly written to the environment secretary raising | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
Our environment correspondent Kevin Keane reports. | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
High up in the Perthshire hills, and a dramatic snow coloured the two | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
covered Glenn accessible only by a dramatic snow coloured the two | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
foot. Or in our case, 4x4. For Bob Connolly, this is his workplace. | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
There is moral and under that white stuff and he does not want it last. | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
Basically, Heather is one of the rarer types of habitat in the world. | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
In Britain, we have a very large percentage of it, and to cover it in | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
trees is just vandalism. Unusually, the gamekeepers have joined forces | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
with Scotland's climbers and hill walkers to raise their concerns. | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
This land, they say, is what brings in the tourists. They talk about | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
this landscape. They do not talk about going for wanders through | :17:27. | :17:34. | |
woods, they like to be able to see, it's not very great today but you | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
can see the hills around you, you see the shape of the landscape. | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
Forests and woodland play an important part in protecting our | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
environment. The trees themselves are good at soaking up the | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
greenhouse gas emissions that might be emitted elsewhere. What this is | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
about is getting the right balance between those environmental needs | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
and protecting Scotland's landscape. Here is how the mirrors look at a | :18:01. | :18:07. | |
milder time of the year. -- here is how the moors look. The groups do | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
not object... As trees are chopped down, they are replanted but the | :18:15. | :18:16. | |
government wants to increase the amount of land covered by forest | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
from 70% just now to 25% in 2050. It says that the increased woodland | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
creation that it will be taken forward in a sustainable way | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
including working closely with the range of stakeholders. | :18:30. | :18:39. | |
But beauty is in the eye of the bottled and getting the mix of | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
landscape right want BEC. -- will not be easy. | :18:47. | :18:47. | |
A look at other stories from across the country. | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
A 23-year-old man has been charged in connection with a road accident | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
in which a 2-year-old girl died. The girl died after a two car crash in | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
Cupar Angus in October. Her brother and sister were seriously injured. | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
More than ?1000 has been pledged towards the funeral of a boy who | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
died two days after he went missing without his medication. The online | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
fundraiser passed its target within a day. The teenager, who was said to | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
have diabetes, was reported missing on Saturday afternoon. The | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
accountancy firm EY is set to shed over half its workforce in | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
Inverness. The company says it is proposing to move its audit and | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
account compliance service to other parts of the company. It says the | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
tax team remains unaffected. Shetland and Moray councils are to | :19:48. | :19:57. | |
increase council tax. It means that eight out of the 32 local | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
authorities have now voted for an increase. The 13th Glasgow Film | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
Festival opens this evening. Final preparations are underway for the | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
European premiere of Handsome Devil, a movie set in Ireland. It is now | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
one of the largest film events in the UK. Over the next 11 days, there | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
will be more than 300 screenings and events showcasing films from 13 | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
countries. That is a place for many different movies at this festival. | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
There are some fascinating documentaries, and the red carpet | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
colours are always good fun. Our audiences have a very broad taste. | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
The discovery of a bronze spearhead decorated in gold in Angus has been | :20:41. | :20:48. | |
called a valuable find. It is one of only a handful of such weapons found | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
in Britain and Ireland, uncovered last year by archaeologists | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
excavating a site which is being turned into football pitches in | :20:58. | :20:58. | |
Carnoustie. There are around 70,000 | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
motability cars in Scotland - it's a welfare benefit that gives | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
people with disability Reassessment of the system | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
has already seen many As the Scottish government prepares | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
to take control of the benefit, some disabled people fear | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
they could lose their indepdendence. Tonight the Department of Work and | :21:15. | :21:25. | |
Pensions said that the number of people receiving motability had | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
increased. For decades, these three wheel cards were the only sort of | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
transport for disabled drivers. -- three wheel cards. Why the 70s, the | :21:37. | :21:44. | |
vehicle no longer met city revelations and disabled drivers | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
were given funds by the government to invest in a standard car. To be | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
on the scheme, you need to be on one of two benefits. Even the disability | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
living allowance or personal intended payments. What is the | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
nature of your disability? I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, | :22:03. | :22:09. | |
relaxed and remitting, 12 years ago. It has caused weakness in my arms | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
but obviously the main problem for getting around is the weakness that | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
has been caused in my legs. getting around is the weakness that | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
people have been transferred to PIP, they are being reassessed and some | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
are having their benefits that, consequently losing their | :22:27. | :22:28. | |
entitlement to a mobility vehicle. David was one of those and he had to | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
hand his car back. It took six months and two appeals before it was | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
returned. How important is having this motability vehicle to you? I | :22:38. | :22:45. | |
always see it as almost an extension of the crutch. I cannot get about | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
without the crushed and I cannot get about without my car. -- without the | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
crutch. Without it, I would be unable to go to work and contribute | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
to society. I would be unable to pay my taxes and all of these kind of | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
things. Scotland is getting power over mobility benefits. The Scottish | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
Government say that they would like to take a different approach from | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
Westminster. At this stage, we are still looking at options, and we are | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
having the discussion, but we absolutely recognise the importance | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
of that scheme for many individuals. To live an independent life, and | :23:23. | :23:29. | |
also to access opportunities for employment, or to stay in | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
employment. What is David's advice for the government? The government | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
need to look at it from a person-to-person, illness to | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
illness, point of view, rather than a one size fits all. My time is | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
precious and it is vital that I need to be able to do the things I can do | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
now while I still can, and so to go from that to be told that I have to | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
sit for months and not be able to do things to the best of my ability, I | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
found that really unfair. The Scottish Government is currently | :24:03. | :24:04. | |
consulting with disabled people to try to get it right. | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
The Premiership side Kilmarnock are looking | :24:10. | :24:11. | |
It follows today's departure of Lee Clark, who's gone | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
Brian McLauchlin is at Rugby Park in Kilmarnock now. | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
Brian, was there any indication this was going to happen? | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
It was a surprise, Jackie. It is exactly a year to the day since Lee | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
Clark took over the manager's position here at rugby park. The | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
club were struggling at the bottom of the Scottish Premiership. It is | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
fair to say that they had a fairly rocky start under Lee Clark. The | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
club managed to retain their status and the top flight of the Scottish | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
football after play-off success against Falkirk. There was a major | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
turnover of players in the summer, no fewer than 11 new players came to | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
Rugby Park last summer. One of them being Superman Coulibaly, who the | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
club signed under a free transfer, but sold for a profit of ?800,000. | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
To my client is sixth in the Scottish Premiership but earlier | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
this season, the English League 1 side Bury contacted Kilmarnock to | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
see if Lee Clark would be capable to Lima available to take over the | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
manager's position there. Lee Clark made it clear he wanted a new | :25:31. | :25:32. | |
challenge in England and he wanted to move south, to be closer to his | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
family, and the package was agreed. What now for Kilmarnock? Clark's | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
assistant, Lee McCulloch, has been handed the job on an interim basis | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
until the end of the season and he will be assisted by another coach | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
here. They have already made applications for the job. However, | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
if Lee McCulloch is doing a reasonable job between now and the | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
end of the season, he has to be seen as the main contender to take on the | :25:59. | :26:00. | |
job on a long-term basis. Let's get the weather. It was a | :26:01. | :26:12. | |
fairly cloudy day for many of us but mild. Stay mild tonight but also | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
quite damp and breezy. The culprit, low pressure towards the north-west, | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
bringing these outbreaks of rain in. And a strengthening West and | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
Southwest wind. The rain is stretching into the country. The | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
rain and wind mean that it is certainly not going to be a cold | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
night. Five or six Celsius in town, perhaps a few spots dipping cooler | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
but for many it will be miles. The rain is still with us tomorrow, as | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
will be the wind. It means that it is going to be a cloudy, damp | :26:50. | :26:57. | |
morning. Expect some rain through Stirlingshire, Falkirk, perhaps | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
towards the capital. By the afternoon, a lot of the wet weather | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
will ease. Still reasonably cloudy. Some wintry conditions coming in | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
towards the east. With the rain coming from a westerly direction, | :27:13. | :27:14. | |
you will feel it in the central belt. It is difficult to know where | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
the showers will be, but most of them will be in the west and | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
north-west, and frequent across Orkney and Shetland. The rest of the | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
afternoon, into the evening, we will start to see further outbreaks of | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
rain. Elsewhere, reasonably dry but as we had overnight to Friday, with | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
a ridge of high pressure, it will be quite cool with a patch of frost. | :27:36. | :27:43. | |
Friday, that will still be with us. Outbreaks of rain edging towards us. | :27:44. | :27:50. | |
Drizzle in the Highlands and Islands. The best of the brightness | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
in the east. Once again, it will be miles, up to 10 Celsius. And so to | :27:55. | :28:00. | |
the weekend. Two Miles Davis, and on Saturday there will be some fairly | :28:01. | :28:06. | |
breezy conditions with showers. Further rain by Sunday night. That | :28:07. | :28:12. | |
is the forecast. And that is Reporting Scotland. Join me at | :28:13. | :28:14. |
