:00:47. > :00:50.Eilidh Doyle as she's caught on the line to go out of the 400
:00:51. > :00:53.metres at the European Indoor The Prime Minister has promised
:00:54. > :01:14.a new, more active union in an effort to strengthen the links
:01:15. > :01:16.between Scotland and England. At the Conservative conference
:01:17. > :01:19.in Glasgow, Theresa May warned against what she called allowing
:01:20. > :01:21.the UK to "drift apart". She said unity would be more vital
:01:22. > :01:24.than ever after Brexit. This from our political
:01:25. > :01:40.editor Brian Taylor. They are Tory, Unionist, they don't
:01:41. > :01:46.need convincing. The Prime Minister knows that others do. She argued
:01:47. > :01:50.that Brexit made the unity of the UK more vital still. As Britain leaves
:01:51. > :01:54.the European Union and we forge a new place in the world, the strength
:01:55. > :02:01.and stability of our union will become ever more important. And the
:02:02. > :02:07.core union values? Solidarity, Unity, family. Was that just a
:02:08. > :02:13.little socialist sounding? Certainly not. She deplored a tendency for
:02:14. > :02:18.Whitehall to forget Scotland. She wanted a new, active union, outside
:02:19. > :02:25.the EU. At all times we will seek to strengthen and enhance the ties that
:02:26. > :02:31.bind us together. I am determined to ensure that as we leave the EU, we
:02:32. > :02:37.do so as one United Kingdom, which prospers outside the EU has one
:02:38. > :02:42.United Kingdom. Farming and fishing, that might mean returning powers and
:02:43. > :02:47.subsidy from Brussels, only to create new common structures across
:02:48. > :02:52.the UK. Nationalists call it a power grab. Tories say it is practical
:02:53. > :02:56.unionism. Still no word as to what the Prime Minister does if Nicola
:02:57. > :03:02.Sturgeon demands the power to hold another independence referendum. She
:03:03. > :03:06.should block it. But it might go towards Scotland's interests if she
:03:07. > :03:11.does not, because if the SNP got another and lost, they can't have
:03:12. > :03:15.another. As the British government, we should have a say on when the
:03:16. > :03:20.referendum is held and what the question might be. We do street
:03:21. > :03:26.stalls against a second referendum and people elbow each other out of
:03:27. > :03:29.the way to sign the petition. The Scottish Secretary appeals to the
:03:30. > :03:34.First Minister to ditch talks of a second referendum but confirmed a
:03:35. > :03:37.possible process. If there is a request for an independence
:03:38. > :03:40.referendum, the process is the same as previously. There would have to
:03:41. > :03:44.be agreement between the governments. We have always been
:03:45. > :03:47.clear there could be another independence referendum. Our
:03:48. > :03:55.argument is that there should not be one. Back on stage, the final act
:03:56. > :03:59.was the act of union. We are four nations, but at heart we are one
:04:00. > :04:05.people. That solidarity is the essence of our United Kingdom and is
:04:06. > :04:09.the surest, -- the surest safeguard of its future. Let us live up to
:04:10. > :04:13.that high ideal and let us never stopped making loudly and clearly
:04:14. > :04:19.the positive, optimistic and passionate case for our precious
:04:20. > :04:24.union of nations, and of people. Thank you.
:04:25. > :04:32.Brian joins us from the conference in Glasgow.
:04:33. > :04:38.I do not think we are any clearer as to what she would do about a second
:04:39. > :04:40.referendum if the Scottish Government decided to call one.
:04:41. > :04:51.Where do we go from here? Well, the two sides,
:04:52. > :04:56.the champions of unionism and nationalism, they are poles apart
:04:57. > :05:01.might. Indeed, the SNP commented upon the speech by the Prime
:05:02. > :05:06.Minister, saying it was surreal and hypocritical. Given that it was a
:05:07. > :05:10.Conservative initiative which brought about the attendant
:05:11. > :05:15.constitutional conundrum facing the UK in Scotland. Each side have been
:05:16. > :05:18.chastising the other. Senior Tories say that the SNP talk consensus and
:05:19. > :05:23.then ratchet up the rhetoric about independence. SNP ministers in the
:05:24. > :05:28.Scottish Government say that they attend ministers -- they attend
:05:29. > :05:33.meetings with UK ministers which are futile because ministers do not
:05:34. > :05:38.engage seriously with the prospect of the situation regarding Scotland
:05:39. > :05:43.post Brexit. So you have a situation here at the Tory party where Theresa
:05:44. > :05:47.May's speech was trying to pre-empt a plebiscite. But it would equally
:05:48. > :05:50.well work as a campaign speech in that referendum, should it happen.
:05:51. > :05:53.Thank you very Ambulance staff in the north-east
:05:54. > :05:55.are threatening industrial action over claims that emergency cover
:05:56. > :05:57.is being compromised. It's in response to concerns that
:05:58. > :06:00.ambulances are not available for 999 calls because they are being used
:06:01. > :06:02.for non-emergency patient transport. Members of the Unite union also
:06:03. > :06:05.claim that staff consistently work over their hours
:06:06. > :06:20.and suffer from fatigue. It is about lack of staff, lack of
:06:21. > :06:24.ambulances, about into hospital transfers, where ambulances are used
:06:25. > :06:27.to transfer patients from one hospital to another, when we believe
:06:28. > :06:32.the ambulance is not required for that transfer. But the management at
:06:33. > :06:36.the top and people in the health service see fit to use ambulances as
:06:37. > :06:37.a taxi service, and that has to stop.
:06:38. > :06:52.What's the background? Well, the Unite union is claiming the problems
:06:53. > :06:57.have been ongoing for two years. It says that ambulances cannot attend
:06:58. > :07:01.my 99 calls because they are used to transfer patients to and from
:07:02. > :07:07.hospital. It also says emergency cover in Aberdeen is propped up by
:07:08. > :07:13.crews from rural areas, which is causing shortages of cover for those
:07:14. > :07:16.communities. There is also concern about workers suffering from
:07:17. > :07:23.fatigue, because they have been asked to work over and above their
:07:24. > :07:27.scheduled working hours. 95% of those balloted said they had no
:07:28. > :07:30.confidence in management. The Scottish Ambulance Service says it
:07:31. > :07:35.has invested significantly in the North in the past few years,
:07:36. > :07:41.recruiting around 100 extra staff, but it does admit that more can be
:07:42. > :07:45.done. Is this confined to the north-east? Well, this is not a new
:07:46. > :07:50.criticism that has been brought north-east? Well, this is not a new
:07:51. > :07:52.earlier this week. The Chief Executive of the Scottish Ambulance
:07:53. > :07:57.earlier this week. The Chief Service was in Sutherland to discuss
:07:58. > :08:04.concerns about provision in the Highlands. Some residents had raised
:08:05. > :08:10.concerns about patient transport Hospital in Inverness. They were
:08:11. > :08:14.claiming that reaching hospital by ambulance or by public transport was
:08:15. > :08:20.becoming increasingly difficult. As for the situation in Aberdeen, a
:08:21. > :08:25.meeting is expected to take place between the union and management
:08:26. > :08:26.within the next few weeks. Unite is threatening industrial action if the
:08:27. > :08:32.matter is not resolved. Thank you. The crew of a fishing boat
:08:33. > :08:35.are recovering tonight after a lucky escape when their boat began
:08:36. > :08:37.to sink off Shetland. The crew of the Ocean Way
:08:38. > :08:52.were forced to jump into the sea The final moments of the Ocean Way.
:08:53. > :08:58.The crew prepared to jump for their lives. In less than a minute, their
:08:59. > :09:02.60 foot boat sinks below the waves. Just as we got alongside, the boat
:09:03. > :09:07.started to sink and the boys jumped into the water alongside the
:09:08. > :09:14.lifeboat. We fished them in and hoisted them aboard. Once she
:09:15. > :09:18.stopped moving and was rolling, it was more difficult, which was why
:09:19. > :09:22.they jumped into the water. It was safer than getting trapped between
:09:23. > :09:27.the boats. We hoisted them up, got them aboard. Two of our crew were in
:09:28. > :09:31.the water with them, keeping them close to the boat. We got them on
:09:32. > :09:37.board, got their wet clothes off and wrapped them in dry clothing. It was
:09:38. > :09:42.just before 7am when the crew sent out a Mayday. It is believed the
:09:43. > :09:47.vessel's trawl door may have struck the bottom of the boat. For over an
:09:48. > :09:51.hour they battle to save the vessel, taking two pumps on board to try to
:09:52. > :09:59.stem the surge of water, but it was not to be. Around 10am, the
:10:00. > :10:02.fisherman arrived back in harbour. After a checkup from paramedics, who
:10:03. > :10:08.boarded the lifeboat, they were finally back on dry land. The final
:10:09. > :10:12.moments were the bow of the boat sticking out of the water. It went
:10:13. > :10:17.down within seconds. Less than one minute from when they decided to
:10:18. > :10:18.jump until she disappeared. Marine accident investigators have launched
:10:19. > :10:21.an enquiry into the sinking. An investigation has been launched
:10:22. > :10:23.after a man was found dead in a village near Stirling two days
:10:24. > :10:26.after his family contacted police. The 51-year-old's body
:10:27. > :10:28.was discovered at a house in Fallin The Police Investigations
:10:29. > :10:32.and Review Commissioner inquiry will focus on Police Scotland's
:10:33. > :10:35.response to a phone call There is a warning that we are
:10:36. > :10:43.hurtling towards an epidemic of larger waistlines and with it
:10:44. > :10:46.an increased risk of cancer. The charity Cancer Research UK says
:10:47. > :10:49.it's being fuelled by our love It says being overweight
:10:50. > :11:09.was the single biggest cause Tempting, isn't it, a shop full of
:11:10. > :11:15.sweets? Guidelines say that sugar should form no more than 5% of our
:11:16. > :11:20.diet, but on average adults and children in Scotland consume much
:11:21. > :11:25.more than this. According to the report, 39% of Scots will have at
:11:26. > :11:29.least one sort of confectionery everyday, including sweets, cakes
:11:30. > :11:35.and biscuits, compared to 30% in England and 18% of us will have one
:11:36. > :11:41.or more. And these statistics have led cancer specialists to give this
:11:42. > :11:44.warning. Only one in four Scots recognise that obesity is the
:11:45. > :11:49.leading preventable cause of cancer. It is the single leading preventable
:11:50. > :11:53.cause after smoking. Levels of awareness are low, and we know the
:11:54. > :11:57.biggest contributor to being obese is our diet. Physical activity is
:11:58. > :12:02.important but diet is key, and we have seen no change in overweight or
:12:03. > :12:07.obesity rates in Scotland in a decade. Two thirds of adults and
:12:08. > :12:12.over court of children in Scotland are overweight or obese. One idea
:12:13. > :12:16.from Cancer Research UK is to call on the Scottish Government act to
:12:17. > :12:22.get restrictions put on promotions like multi-buys of foods that are
:12:23. > :12:26.high in sugar, fat and salt. Ministers say they are committed to
:12:27. > :12:30.tackling Scotland's obesity problems. We will be engaging with
:12:31. > :12:37.the food industry, but we are already seeing some changes. Bars
:12:38. > :12:41.have announced they are re-formulating their recipe. Tesco
:12:42. > :12:45.and other retailers are changing practices as well. But why is the
:12:46. > :12:51.healthy eating message not getting through? We eat what we want, as far
:12:52. > :12:55.as I'm concerned. I have got my bacon with all of the fact and
:12:56. > :13:00.stuff, but I enjoy it. Advertisements in shops, I do not
:13:01. > :13:04.think they put enough out there to tell people that it is not good for
:13:05. > :13:09.you. People have formed their own food traditions, and it is very
:13:10. > :13:15.difficult to break those habits. I think a wee bit of chocolate is
:13:16. > :13:19.allowed. So it seems changing tastes and attitudes will take far longer
:13:20. > :13:20.than it does to choose in the sweet shop.
:13:21. > :13:23.It's emerged that a primary school head teacher was taken to hospital
:13:24. > :13:27.Janette Black, head of Springhill and Auchenback Primary School
:13:28. > :13:29.in Barrhead, was seen at a minor injuries unit.
:13:30. > :13:31.East Renfrewshire Council confirmed that the incident had
:13:32. > :13:34.taken place and that an investigation was ongoing.
:13:35. > :13:49.East Renfrewshire Council has confirmed that an incident happened
:13:50. > :13:53.here at the school in Barrhead on Wednesday, and that the headteacher
:13:54. > :13:57.attended a local hospital minor injuries clinic. The local authority
:13:58. > :14:01.said that was a precaution and she had not suffered any serious
:14:02. > :14:05.injuries. The council said, incidents like this are extremely
:14:06. > :14:10.rare, and that it has a zero tolerance approach to violence at
:14:11. > :14:13.work. A spokesman added that an investigation is currently underway
:14:14. > :14:19.to establish exactly what happened. Once that has been concluded,
:14:20. > :14:20.appropriate action would be taken. Police Scotland said the incident
:14:21. > :14:23.had not been reported to them. The Prime Minister attacks
:14:24. > :14:28.the SNP for being obsessed with independence at any cost
:14:29. > :14:30.and tells Scottish Conservatives that the UK must remain united
:14:31. > :14:36.as it leaves the EU. Runner Laura Muir
:14:37. > :14:40.is in imperious form at the European Indoor
:14:41. > :14:48.Athletics Championships. Plans to create hundreds
:14:49. > :14:52.of new jobs at the Fort William aluminium smelter have taken
:14:53. > :14:54.another step forward. The new owners of the aluminium
:14:55. > :14:56.smelter in Fort William want to invest hundreds of millions
:14:57. > :14:59.of pounds in the plant and build a new factory
:15:00. > :15:14.using metal produced there. If anyone was sceptical about the
:15:15. > :15:19.commitment of the new owners to this plant when they took over a few
:15:20. > :15:23.months ago, here is the evidence, a ?10 million row of biofuel
:15:24. > :15:28.generators to supply electricity to the smelter. The whole plant should
:15:29. > :15:35.therefore run largely on renewable energy, producing the greenest metal
:15:36. > :15:40.anywhere in the UK. It is waste oil. Whether it is fish waste oil, animal
:15:41. > :15:45.fat, whatever, it is using that so it is not burning any actual
:15:46. > :15:49.resource. The next phase of development will be the construction
:15:50. > :15:55.of a new factory to manufacture car parts, like alloy wheels. That will
:15:56. > :16:00.provide 300 direct jobs, but the ambitions of the new operators go
:16:01. > :16:04.further, with recycling aluminium and steel. They say they could be
:16:05. > :16:09.employing something like 1000 people on site within the next decade. For
:16:10. > :16:15.the local economy, that could pose problems, so the public sector has
:16:16. > :16:19.got involved, too. So, a range of public bodies sat around the table
:16:20. > :16:24.today to map out how they can support this major expansion. If we
:16:25. > :16:32.see a great number of new jobs created, a new factory built, and
:16:33. > :16:36.much development on the wider estate, we need the public sector to
:16:37. > :16:41.respond. We need to make sure there will be sufficient homes, a supply
:16:42. > :16:45.of skills, working with the West Highland College and the company.
:16:46. > :16:52.And we need in the public sector to work together and work quickly
:16:53. > :16:55.together. The ?450 million investment represents a once in a
:16:56. > :17:00.lifetime opportunity, according to Mr Ewing.
:17:01. > :17:03.One of Scotland's international rugby players has been speaking

:17:06. > :17:10.Fraser Brown, of the Glasgow Warriors, is now a key member
:17:11. > :17:13.of the team trying to win this year's Six Nations.
:17:14. > :17:16.But as David Currie reports, he's had to win physical and mental
:17:17. > :17:24.battles to establish himself for club and country.
:17:25. > :17:33.A key member of the Scotland squad, Fraser Brown could earn his 24th cap
:17:34. > :17:36.against England. A few years ago it seemed like his youthful promise
:17:37. > :17:43.could be unfulfilled. Injuries stopped him making a breakthrough at
:17:44. > :17:49.his first pro club, Edinburgh Rugby. There have been campaigns in the
:17:50. > :17:52.press about mental health and depression. It is a very real thing,
:17:53. > :18:04.especially when you're young player who has been injured a lot. I went
:18:05. > :18:06.back home, went to one of the clubs in Edinburgh and enjoyed being
:18:07. > :18:15.around guys just having fun and playing rugby again. Then I did
:18:16. > :18:19.sevens and was picked up by Glasgow. At Glasgow Warriors, Brown made the
:18:20. > :18:24.grade, helping them to win the Pro12 league title in 2015 and he became a
:18:25. > :18:30.Scotland international. The inner battle continues. You never really
:18:31. > :18:36.get over it, it is something you come through gradually, it has taken
:18:37. > :18:44.me five, six years. It's something where if I have bad times now I
:18:45. > :18:51.might have low points, I need the result in myself that I can speak
:18:52. > :18:55.about it, let it out and speak to people who can help me through it
:18:56. > :18:58.and there is something at the end. Although Brown thinks the injuries
:18:59. > :19:03.of his early career may have triggered mental health issues, he
:19:04. > :19:09.feels the sport he loves also helps him to cope. It kick-started it but
:19:10. > :19:13.it pulled me out of it as well. The reason it kick-started it is because
:19:14. > :19:18.I couldn't do something I really enjoyed doing and on the back of
:19:19. > :19:23.that, when I came back I didn't have to worry about the pressures of
:19:24. > :19:27.professional rugby, I could enjoy what I'm doing, the rest of my life
:19:28. > :19:30.around rugby. It's definitely helped.

:19:44. > :19:46.But as Jane Lewis reports, there was disappointment for some
:19:47. > :20:00.Much is expected from this Scott in Belgrade. What a 12 months it has
:20:01. > :20:05.been for Laura Muir. There was no sign of her record-breaking form
:20:06. > :20:09.during her 3000 metre heat. Laura Muir has decided that fifth is OK.
:20:10. > :20:14.Doing just enough to qualify for the final. Little wonder she was taking
:20:15. > :20:19.things easy, four hours later she was back on the track and this time
:20:20. > :20:24.in the 1500 metres. Going to be tight on the line but Laura makes
:20:25. > :20:27.sure. Not quite easy does it this time but her fans can look forward
:20:28. > :20:33.to cheering her on as she faces another final. Physically I'm in
:20:34. > :20:40.good shape so it should be OK, it is more mentally, it will be tough to
:20:41. > :20:45.try and relax, gearing yourself up for each round again. A bit of both
:20:46. > :20:48.but I'm as prepared as I can be. Fellow Scots aid is McColgan and
:20:49. > :20:54.Steph Twell are going to take it on, joining your in the 3000 metres
:20:55. > :20:59.final. The perils of indoor athletics were also on show in
:21:00. > :21:05.Belgrade. Down she goes. A sore one in the 400 metres. A Lee Doyle
:21:06. > :21:08.avoided such pitfalls but there was agony of a different kind. After
:21:09. > :21:11.cruising to the semifinals of the agony of a different kind. After
:21:12. > :21:19.400 metres she was looking at the final. Doyle is looking for it.
:21:20. > :21:25.Doyle didn't make it. I knew I had to go hard because I wanted to win
:21:26. > :21:30.the break and make it difficult, I wanted to win it to get a good lane
:21:31. > :21:38.for the final, so to not even make the final is pretty heartbreaking.
:21:39. > :21:44.Heartbreak for Guy Luzon and -- Kylie and. His 800 metres didn't go
:21:45. > :21:52.as he'd hoped. The plan was just to run hard. I just lost concentration
:21:53. > :21:57.over the last five metres, I think. Absolutely devastated. Painful for
:21:58. > :22:02.him but at least he escaped unscathed. What did I tell you?

:22:12. > :22:13.Yet little is known about the showpeople,
:22:14. > :22:16.who've been bringing those rides and attractions to towns around
:22:17. > :22:24.Now an exhibition aims to put it right.
:22:25. > :22:27.Our arts correspondent Pauline McLean reports.
:22:28. > :22:33.The shows have been part of Scottish cultural life for more than a
:22:34. > :22:39.century, bringing innovation as well is old-fashioned entertainment. This
:22:40. > :22:43.is a typical showman's vehicle. Melvin Thomas is from a long line of
:22:44. > :22:48.show men and has been collecting fairground artefacts for 30 years.
:22:49. > :22:50.Developed a lot of things themselves, their own engineers and
:22:51. > :22:56.when they could eat something that could be bettered, if they couldn't
:22:57. > :23:03.do it they knew someone who could. A lot of the fairground was adapted by
:23:04. > :23:09.ourselves. If we could see an idea that was going to be better, they
:23:10. > :23:12.would have a go at it. The shows brought elegance of the Anderson
:23:13. > :23:21.Amartey towns who had none and offered welcome cheer and wartime --
:23:22. > :23:30.brought electricity to towns. They were undercover, the blackout
:23:31. > :23:36.sheets, but they were still open and it was a busy time. The shows have
:23:37. > :23:40.changed and so have the show men and women, most living in Glasgow at
:23:41. > :23:45.sites across the City. It is the largest concentration in Europe,
:23:46. > :23:51.thanks to the draw of the annual Winter Carnival dating back to the
:23:52. > :23:56.1930s. It is quite permanent, some even live in houses and travel in
:23:57. > :24:02.smaller caravans but it is definitely the hub in Scotland for
:24:03. > :24:06.most Scottish show families. Now a new exhibition at the Glasgow
:24:07. > :24:10.Riverside Museum offers a rare insight into the shows and the
:24:11. > :24:16.people who run them. As well as the chance to sample the sights and
:24:17. > :24:21.sounds and smells. We've got two machines that emanate a vapour into
:24:22. > :24:25.the air, one of them smells like caramel and candy floss and the
:24:26. > :24:30.other one smells like steam and machinery because their grounds have
:24:31. > :24:36.a strange mixture of machinery and sweet smells and corn and things
:24:37. > :24:39.like that, so we've tried to recreate that.
:24:40. > :24:47.Makes me sick just looking at the Walser! Best look -- let's look at
:24:48. > :24:53.the weather. Once again these north of Scotland
:24:54. > :24:56.has had the lion's share of the sunshine. In Central and southern
:24:57. > :25:02.parts we had more cloud and that theme continues tonight. Rain
:25:03. > :25:08.pushing in through Dumfries and Galloway, the borders, eventually
:25:09. > :25:12.reaching Argyll and the central belt and Angus and as it bumps into this
:25:13. > :25:18.cold air it is going to fall as snow. Across much of the North we
:25:19. > :25:22.will hold onto the dry conditions with clear spells and perhaps some
:25:23. > :25:31.frost. By the end of the night, temperatures recovering to around
:25:32. > :25:37.3-5dC, the winds strengthening. Low pressure dominating tomorrow, quite
:25:38. > :25:41.a cloudy day with outbreaks of rain, which continues journey in North
:25:42. > :25:46.during the day. And due to the persistent nature of it across the
:25:47. > :25:51.likes of Fife, Perth, towards Dundee, Angus and Aberdeenshire, we
:25:52. > :25:54.have a yellow warning in force to be aware. The risk of localised
:25:55. > :25:59.flooding and hazardous driving conditions. Tomorrow afternoon
:26:00. > :26:04.across much of the South, improving, perhaps some late brightness, cloudy
:26:05. > :26:09.skies over the central belt, rain continuing to push across much of
:26:10. > :26:14.the North, falling as snow over the hills and high ground of the
:26:15. > :26:17.Grampians. The driest conditions coming tomorrow afternoon and may
:26:18. > :26:21.hold on across the far northern coast of Lewis and perhaps some
:26:22. > :26:25.brightness over the Northern Isles, coast of Lewis and perhaps some
:26:26. > :26:30.but a cold feel with brisk north-easterly winds. For hill
:26:31. > :26:36.walking and climbing, snow showers, wind from the east, 40 mph, blizzard
:26:37. > :26:40.conditions and severe wind-chill, becoming drier across the Galloway
:26:41. > :26:46.hills in the afternoon and the wind easing here. Similar for the more
:26:47. > :26:53.eastern ranges, severe wind-chill, 40-50 mph and frequent snow showers
:26:54. > :26:59.over the border hills becoming drier. Tomorrow evening the rain
:27:00. > :27:02.continues to track North, becoming confined to the Northern Isles.
:27:03. > :27:07.Elsewhere will be mostly dry, some showers across the south-west on
:27:08. > :27:10.Sunday we will have some bright and sunny interlude is however we will
:27:11. > :27:14.have bands of showers coming to the South and West. Feeling milder with
:27:15. > :27:20.milder winds. Tonight's main news:
:27:21. > :27:22.The Prime Minister has promised a new, more active union
