:06:01. > :06:04.has been studying data from below the sea bed and has made a
:06:05. > :06:09.surprising finding. Previous attempts to strike oil here have
:06:10. > :06:15.almost all failed, but now he has concluded they are looking in the
:06:16. > :06:21.wrong place. That is why you get one discovery of every four or five
:06:22. > :06:25.wells that you drill. That led to the preconception of it not having
:06:26. > :06:30.anything there, but we think the wells were not drilled in the right
:06:31. > :06:34.place. His team has also been studying rock formations on sky
:06:35. > :06:39.which are similar to the Rockall basin. With all the day-to-day now
:06:40. > :06:48.conclude that volcanic activity may have pushed the odd away from the
:06:49. > :06:53.rock itself, further away from where they previously drilled. We are
:06:54. > :06:58.optimistic, but we are always very cautious and it is a very frontier
:06:59. > :07:03.area and it is a challenging place to work and it is potentially in the
:07:04. > :07:08.future going to be quite exciting, but I would not get too enthusiastic
:07:09. > :07:13.just yet. The oil and Gas industry has long been looking for new
:07:14. > :07:18.fields. Production has expanded into the harsh waters of the North
:07:19. > :07:26.Atlantic, so there are challenges and opportunities. I am confident
:07:27. > :07:30.there are companies looking at the information and there will not be a
:07:31. > :07:34.Klondike rush, this is a very expensive area to play in, but with
:07:35. > :07:39.the right companies, we will be looking hard at this. This is the

:20:03. > :20:09.This is setting of 100 different particles... What the researchers
:20:10. > :20:14.found was that on the cell's surface, these were avoiding
:20:15. > :20:23.molecules. It needed a lot of advanced maths. We have shown that
:20:24. > :20:29.these vesicles move between these other molecules, and they will do so
:20:30. > :20:34.with some randomness. It took seven years of treating the cells, looking

:21:42. > :21:46.Interim coach Duncan Hodge stays on, returning to the backroom staff,
:21:47. > :21:48.as the capital club try to improve their fortunes.
:21:49. > :22:00.This has been a familiar scene for Edinburgh fans. Defeat to Leinster
:22:01. > :22:06.at the weekend leaving them ninth in the league. Despite a European
:22:07. > :22:10.quarterfinal tie ahead, this season, like many others in recent times,
:22:11. > :22:16.has failed to ignite. They are hoping this man can change that.
:22:17. > :22:20.Richard Cockerill played 27 times for England. He enjoyed great
:22:21. > :22:25.success as coach of Leicester, leading them to European Cup final.
:22:26. > :22:31.He left their earlier this season and is now a consultant at the
:22:32. > :22:42.French giants Toulon. The powers that be here at Murrayfield were
:22:43. > :22:45.keen to install a coach of proven quality, and they believe that
:22:46. > :22:47.Richard Cockerill is a major coup for Scottish rugby. This is a big
:22:48. > :22:51.statement of our intent and our ambition. We recognise where we want
:22:52. > :22:57.the club to go, and we wanted to be a successful club, and emulate and
:22:58. > :23:01.surpass where Glasgow have been in the past years. An exciting
:23:02. > :23:05.appointment for Edinburgh. We have an underperforming group of players.
:23:06. > :23:10.We need somebody who can put a rocket under them and make them
:23:11. > :23:14.perform better. Duncan Hodge has been inconsistent, but he will
:23:15. > :23:18.remain at the club to work with the new man in charge. It is great that
:23:19. > :23:24.Richard Cockerill has been brought in. He is an experienced coach, and
:23:25. > :23:31.has won at the highest level. Both him and Hodge will be a good mix. So
:23:32. > :23:35.I think it is a good thing. An appointment to excite the Edinburgh
:23:36. > :23:37.fans, but a big challenge for Cockerill to get the club back on
:23:38. > :23:38.track. Let's get the weather
:23:39. > :23:49.forecast from Kawser. Thank you. It was a blustery day,
:23:50. > :23:53.but also quite mild, especially during the course of the morning. By
:23:54. > :23:59.the afternoon, it was colder for all during the course of the morning. By
:24:00. > :24:04.of us. By the end of the day, some lovely spells of sunshine. As we
:24:05. > :24:07.head into the evening, there will be some clear spells, especially for
:24:08. > :24:13.eastern areas, but showers continuing. These are from the
:24:14. > :24:20.north-west, and can be quite wintry on the hills. Elsewhere, clear and
:24:21. > :24:25.dry. Temperatures dipping to around five or six Celsius, so cold
:24:26. > :24:30.compared to last night. For some rural areas in the sheltered East,
:24:31. > :24:35.dipping close to freezing. Tomorrow morning, a lot of dry weather to
:24:36. > :24:40.start across central and eastern areas, but across the north-west,
:24:41. > :24:43.thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain, and across the west coast as well,
:24:44. > :24:51.and strengthening south-westerly winds. If you are heading out in the
:24:52. > :24:56.afternoon, it will be quite wet. Some persistent, heavy bursts here.
:24:57. > :25:01.Further to the east, it will be drier, but cloudy in the afternoon,
:25:02. > :25:08.temperatures around 10 Celsius. Lower than today. Tomorrow evening,
:25:09. > :25:12.a wet evening in store, as that rain band moves further east, and the
:25:13. > :25:20.winds start to strengthen, perhaps reaching gale force winds.
:25:21. > :25:26.Wednesday, quite a blustery start to the day. Some of those showers could
:25:27. > :25:31.be blustery. Some fleet conditions, and temperatures on the cooler side,
:25:32. > :25:37.back to average for the time of year. On Thursday, there is a lot of
:25:38. > :25:42.uncertainty. A deep area of low pressure will head towards us,
:25:43. > :25:46.bringing the prospect of some snow for southern Scotland and northern
:25:47. > :25:53.England. But a lot of uncertainty about this. The wind coming in from
:25:54. > :25:55.the north, so cold for most of us. We will keep you updated.
:25:56. > :25:58.Thank you. Now, a reminder of
:25:59. > :26:00.tonight's main news. Cancer patients from the most
