a family of Syrian refugees and the young son they thought had | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Football fans join family, friends and former players | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
to pay their last respects to Celtic great Tommy Gemmell. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
A fellow Lisbon Lion says the only person missing | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
He would have loved it. This would have been right up his street. | :00:20. | :00:36. | |
Former Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg warns | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
the Scottish Liberal Democrat conference that Brexit could lead | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
And can Scotland spring a surprise on the six Nations champions at | :00:42. | :00:51. | |
Twickenham? They thought their son was dead - | :00:52. | :01:03. | |
killed in a bombing raid in Syria. But a refugee family now living | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
in Mid-Lothian have been reunited with their eldest child | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
who was trapped, alone Mohamed Karou's father said | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
it was the end of a five-year nightmare and praised those | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
who helped rescue his son. Cameron Buttle has | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
been to meet them. It is hard to believe the horrors | :01:18. | :01:33. | |
that this young boy has seen. Today, playing in a park, a stick and a log | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
are enough to keep him happy. He never strays too far from his | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
father, enjoying being part of the family he had not seen for five | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
years. TRANSLATION: I am so happy. I can't | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
describe how happy I am. I am overwhelmed. It is a miracle to have | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
him with me here. They lost Mohamed during a bombing | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
raid. They searched for him but were told he was dead. Years later, after | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
the rest of the family had fled Syria, a relative got a message out | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
to say their son was alive. TRANSLATION: It has been a long | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
time. He really felt desperate until he would come and join him in | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
Scotland. His father twice smuggled himself back into Syria but could | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
not get to Mohammed. Now relocated in Scotland, the family pleaded for | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
help, and against all the odds, a rescue mission was mounted and | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
Mohamed arrived in Scotland a few weeks ago. | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
TRANSLATION: The operation went a very secret way and no information | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
was revealed to us, just for his protection. The lack of information | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
made me sometimes worried, sometimes concerned, but I always knew that it | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
was going to happen at some point. The family's plight hit the | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
headlines when it was raised in Westminster by their local MP last | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
year. In the background, a support team from Midlothian Council lived | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
every moment with the family. On the phone to the Home Office everyday in | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
my office. The team was there to make sure the family was supported | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
and no stone left unturned to make sure Mohammed could get here. Beyond | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
that, there are those we do not know, people on the ground in the | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
Syria to help Mohammed. We will never know who they are and we can't | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
thank them enough for what they did. We will probably never know how he | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
was brought here to Midlothian to be We will probably never know how he | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
reunited with his family. Syria is still incredibly dangerous and the | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
agencies involved will not talk about it because it might jeopardise | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
future operations. TRANSLATION: He has been denied from | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
his childhood life so I hope this new life will bring him back some | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
childhood memories. The funeral has taken | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
place of the Celtic great and Lisbon Lion Tommy Gemmell | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
who died last week. Hundreds of fans turned out | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
to pay their last respects as the funeral procession set off | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
from Celtic Park this morning. Fellow Lisbon Lions | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
were amongst the pallbearers. Among the thousands gathered outside | :04:12. | :04:26. | |
Celtic Park, many remember the goal. He has scored a great goal. He has | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
Celtic Park, many remember the goal. done it. Others have only seen it on | :04:30. | :04:37. | |

TV, Tommy Gemmill in 1967 scoring in the first by a British club, | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
securing his place in history. Just a legendary club. His goal. Here to | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
play a risk -- pay respects. I used to make his suits. I am a Celtic fan | :04:53. | :05:01. | |
through and through. He was a fabulous player and look at the | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
pride he brought a Glasgow. When the time came to say farewell, the | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
reaction was spontaneous, the funeral cortege making the journey | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
to the crematorium where family, friends, former team-mates and | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
rivals gathered. Green blazers against the sombre backdrop, his | :05:19. | :05:28. | |
fellow Lisbon Lions. There have been many fine fullbacks who have worn | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
the hoops with distinction but undoubtedly the name of Tommy | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
Gemmill would be right up there with the best of them, may he now rest in | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
peace. A tall, athletic full-back in his prime, a close friend described | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
his attitude as illness took its toll. One of his favourite sayings | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
was, why should a living man never complain. I didn't think there was | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
anything left for Tommy Gemmill to do to prove he was an inspiration. I | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
was in nor of his courage, strength and character. In two months, on the | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
50th anniversary, the Lisbon Lions will gather again. Missing will be a | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
cherished team-mate, a life today remembered and celebrated. What | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
would he have made of this? He would have loved it. He was always a show | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
man and that -- this would have been right up his street. | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
A pilot has been jailed for ten months for boarding a flight | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
from Scotland to the United States while under | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
Carlos Roberto Licona, who's 45 and from Texas, | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
was due to serve as First Officer on the United Airlines flight | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
from Glasgow to Newark on 27 August last year. | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
He was taken off the plane after security staff smelled | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
alcohol on his breath when he entered the airport. | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
Licona was jailed after pleading guilty to the charge | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
The Scottish Liberal Democrat leader, Willie Rennie, | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
has claimed his party now represents "majority opinion" | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
At the party's annual conference in Perth, | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
Mr Rennie said the Lib Dems were the only ones now giving full | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
support to Scotland's place in both the UK and the European Union. | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
From Perth, here's our political editor Brian Taylor. | :06:59. | :07:14. | |
Curling, the roaring game. Sharing this venue with the curlers, the | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
Liberal Democrats reckon they are entitled to make a bit of noise, | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
too. Liberal Democrats speak for the majority of people in Scotland. We | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
are pro-United Kingdom, but we also wanted to stay in the European | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
Union. 62% of Scots won to that, so we represent the majority of public | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
opinion, and our ambition is to get that high in the opinion polls. He | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
talks of healing divisions, but the party's only Scottish MP reckons | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
nationalism is well out of kilter. Alex Salmond will tell you that all | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
he wants is for decisions about Scotland is to be made by people | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
living in Scotland. How is that different from Nigel Farage wanting | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
to take back control from Brussels? Or even Donald Trump wanting to do | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
deals, great deals, that will always put America first? Nick Clegg | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
formally led the Lib Dems and is now put America first? Nick Clegg | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
speaks for them on Europe. He told me of plans for a further EU | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
referendum on the Brexit terms. If the British people were to say, we | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
don't want to jump off the cliff and would rather stay on terra firma, | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
clearly, it would then be for us as a nation to decide whether we | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
actually after all want to stay in the European Union. You can see that | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
as a prospect, that Brexit does not happen? Only if the British people | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
change their mind. To be clear, a second referendum is roundly | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
rejected by the UK Government. Nick Clegg argued that liberalism was | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
still alive in Europe, if not thriving. Party leaders believe they | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
can remedy that in Scotland by supporting two unions, the UK and | :09:05. | :09:05. | |
the EU. They have also been talking about | :09:06. | :09:17. | |
how to tackle the country's drug problem. They have. Drugs policy | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
motion carried here at the conference. They backed | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
decriminalising the possession of drugs for personal use, and the | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
establishment of centres where addicts could inject heroin while | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
receiving advice about how to get off drugs. They backed treatment, | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
rather than punishment. What should we read into the absence of Tim | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
Farron? I am told he is attending a big birthday for a close member of | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
his family. He is not here. The conference seemed to get on without | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
him. There is a curious upbeat atmosphere, because they feel they | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
have found a formula, that UK- EU formula that would allow them to | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
appeal to voters in Scotland. We will see. | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
Plenty at stake for Scotland's rugby players tomorrow. | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
They play England in the Six Nations at Twickenham. | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
Our reporter David Currie is there for us now. | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
David, this is a huge game for the Scots. | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
Yes, it is indeed. Even an empty Twickenham can be awe-inspiring, but | :10:21. | :10:28. | |
with two wins from three matches so far in the tournament, victory for | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
Scotland tomorrow would give them a real chance of going on to win the | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
six nations for the first time. Historically, winning here for the | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
Scots is rare, but the build-up to this year's match has been a bit | :10:43. | :10:50. | |
different. This is a tale of mystery and suspense. Why, for instance, did | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
Scotland break with tradition and training in the grounds of their | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
hotel, rather than Twickenham, on the eve of the match? We felt there | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
was a park across the road where we could get done what we needed to do, | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
so that was the reason. We are comfortable having a jog around | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
across the road. Fair enough, but who has been putting the frighteners | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
on one of the team's top performers? What's happening! ? You have | :11:16. | :11:35. | |
survived a wheeze scare, a few scares, at the hands of an arch | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
prankster. I have zero confidence in walking along the corridors. I'm a | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
bit worried he will jump out. It has been a challenging few weeks. John | :11:48. | :11:55. | |
Barclay, the Scotland captain is responsible. But England have been | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
spooking the Scots at Twickenham since 1911. Scotland have won here | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
just four times, first in 1926 and most recently 34 years ago. Now in | :12:07. | :12:19. | |
his seventh decade, can this hero of that 1983 victory offer some | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
grandfatherly words of wisdom to the 20 17 team? The players will know it | :12:24. | :12:31. | |
is tough. We have played well this season but England are a different | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
kettle of fish at Twickenham. They are to beat. But if we get our set | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
piece right, take every chance that comes along, and we are good at that | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
at the moment, I think it is our comes along, and we are good at that | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
best opportunity for years. This is the England team the Scots will have | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
to beat to end that losing streak at Twickenham. But perhaps John | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
Barclay, Stuart Hogg and company will have a few nasty surprises in | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
store for them. Worth remembering that England are going for a world | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
record equalling 18th consecutive international win. However, Stuart | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
Hogg says that Scotland will not roll over and let England tickle | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
their bellies. If they did, that would be the biggest surprise of | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
all. You're watching BBC | :13:17. | :13:20. | |

Rangers this weekend. A senior MEP from the ruling party | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
in Spain has suggested his country would not try to stop an independent | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
Scotland joining the European Union. Esteban Pons says the issue | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
of Catalonian independence would not mean Spain would try to stop | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
Scotland from re-entering. Our political correspondent, | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
Nick Eardley, is in Explain what this | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
is all about, Nick. was not on the official agenda at | :13:55. | :14:13. | |
the European Council but it is on many people's lips. Last night we | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
looked at how the EU might treat the Brexit negotiations. Tonight we are | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
looking at how an independent Scotland could be treated by the EU | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
down the line. Have things changed since 2014? I have found out that | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
one Labour MEP might change his mind. Europe's leaders met again | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
today but without the UK. Theresa May was on home soil, as talks in | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
Brussels focused on celebrating European integration. But the | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
Scottish Government is keen to maintain links with Europe. How to | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
do that means the independence question might be asked again. The | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
Spanish Prime Minister rallied against Brexit today. In 2013 he | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
suggested that Scotland would have to work its way back in. He has an | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
independence movement of his own in Catalonia. Senior SNP figures have | :15:05. | :15:13. | |
sought to distance themselves from that movement, pledging to stay | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
neutral. Esteban Pons is from the Prime Minister's party. If Scotland | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
wants to come back, they have to begin the procedure, like any other | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
country. There is no sense that Spain would want to veto Scotland | :15:29. | :15:36. | |
joining the EU? If you think about Catalonia, the Catalonian situation | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
is very different to the Scottish situation. Some think an independent | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
Scotland would be welcomed to the club, though from the outside. Those | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
on the pro-UK side think the case is stronger than last time. They think | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
trying to re-enter comes at a heavy price. To get back in, you have to | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
sign up to the Common Fisheries Policy. I would not want Scottish | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
fishermen back in that, it is a bad thing. The easiest ways to give up | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
on everything you think is important that others tell you you can't have. | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
That is not good for Scotland. The new case for independence has not | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
been set out yet and there is no guarantee it will be, but the | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
possibility has Scotland's longest serving MEP rethinking his answer. I | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
don't know how I would vote in another referendum. The thought of | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
Scotland remaining part of the European Union would be appealing to | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
me, so there is an emotional appeal towards independence that did not | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
previously exist. But he adds that the economic case for independence | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
is weaker. The SNP here is focused on the shorter term. My focus is to | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
find solutions to where we are immediately. Where we get to in | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
future, who knows? There are few certainties as the UK approaches | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
Brexit, but the more questions will be asked and more debates | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
Reporting Scotland will host a debate looking ahead to the impact | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
of Brexit and the future options for Scotland on Tuesday, | :17:07. | :17:08. | |
If you'd like to be part of the audience and put your | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
questions to our panel, details of how to apply can be found | :17:13. | :17:15. | |

The reliability of ScotRail services has improved again in recent weeks. | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
New figures for February and early March show the annual average | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
performance figure for ScotRail services has risen to 90.3%. | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
The result ends the contractual need for a performance improvement | :17:26. | :17:27. | |
In September last year, the Scottish Government demanded | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
improvements when ScotRail fell below this benchmark. | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
Some of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gas emissions | :17:40. | :17:41. | |
have the lowest climate change targets, according | :17:42. | :17:42. | |
It says the transport and agriculture sectors need to make | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
a greater contribution than ministers have already set out. | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
Our environment correspondent, Kevin Keane, joins us now. | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
This is the Parliament's response to the Scottish Government's flagship | :17:55. | :18:06. | |
climate plan. This is the document itself. It sets out some ambitious | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
targets to try to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 66%, two-thirds the | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
base level, by 2032. It sets out exactly how that will be achieved, | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
sector by sector and industry by industry. What these four committees | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
who have been scrutinising this document have said is that, in some | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
areas, those ambitions are not ambitious enough. They particularly | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
pick out agriculture and transport as being two of the main | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, but which have weaker | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
targets than other industries. They say the two sectors need to do more. | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
They raised concerns about what are termed "techno fixes" technical | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
solutions to some of the problems. Which basically means replacing | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
diesel and petrol cars like these with electric vehicles to overcome | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
some of those emission problems. What the report is saying is that | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
actually instead you should be looking at practical solutions that | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
involve behavioural change, for example, getting people out of cars | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
completely and on to public transport, walking or using bikes. | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
The Environment Secretary says that these targets have to be realistic | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
and workable. MSPs will debate this next week. Thanks, Kevin. | :19:25. | :19:30. | |

The 77-year-old was born and brought up in the city, | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
but during a glittering career that included spells at both Manchester | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
United and Manchester City, he never played for his local team. | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
The Denis Law Legacy Trust now helps develop street football | :19:42. | :19:43. | |
In football, Celtic are looking to make it four wins out of four | :19:44. | :19:53. | |
against their city rivals Rangers this weekend. | :19:54. | :19:54. | |
But it looks like the visitors will have a new manager | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
Alasdair Lamont is at Ibrox for us now. | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
Yes, indeed. It looks increasingly like Pedro Caixinha, a 4-year-old | :20:04. | :20:11. | |
Portugese will be confirmed as the new manager here at Ibrox ahead of | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
that trip to Celtic Park on Sunday. He will arrive in Scotland tomorrow | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
and will take in the game on Sunday, albeit from the stand rather than | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
the dug-out. He has been managing in Qatar up until recently. He has had | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
spells in Mexico and also in his home land of Portugal. He did his | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
coaching badges here in Scotland. It's fair to say hiss first | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
experience of Scottish football as a manager will be something altogether | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
different. As Glasgow's heavyweights prepare for a fourth showdown of the | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
season, odds on favourites Celtic have won all three previous | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
meetings. Thing a agree gay score over those games is 8-2 in Celtic's | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
favour. Their supremacy is laid out starkly in their overall points | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
haul. This fixture has so far been kind to the Celtic manager, living | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
up to all his expectations. Celtic-Rangers game is reknown | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
throughout the world as one of the great Derby games, if not the | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
greatest. It's an intense affair. Supporters are passionate. The | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
Celtic Park game was a great start being the first one for us. If we | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
can play to thatle level, and play to how we have been for most of the | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
season, then we hope that can get us a result. With Rangerseth yet to | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
appoint Pedro Caixinha as their new manager the task of engineering the | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
most likely Old Firm upset will fall to the interim boss. He is | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
determined his players will thrive in adversity. He | :21:49. | :22:00. | |
Said today: He has handled it really well. Hopefully, he goes to | :22:01. | :22:10. | |
Parkhead. I'm sure Kenny and Lee has told him what to expect. He knows | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
what it's all about. Hopefully, he can get something from the game. For | :22:15. | :22:23. | |
that to happen, they will have to stop Dembele. It was a good day to | :22:24. | :22:36. | |
remember. It's gone now. We have another game on Sunday. The majority | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
inside Celtic Park will expect this Old Firm theme to continue. Anything | :22:42. | :22:42. | |
else would be a serious surprise. The Royal Scottish National | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
Orchestra is off on its first tour The orchestra, along with violinist | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
Nicola Benedetti, will perform eight concerts at seven venues | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
across the state of Florida, Our arts correspondent, | :22:56. | :22:57. | |
Pauline McLean, reports. It was 1982 when the RSNO last | :22:58. | :23:18. | |
toured the US. Nicola Benedetti wasn't born. Most of the seven | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
concert halls that play across Florida weren't built. It is | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
enormous centre of culture in North America now. The reason for that is | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
because so many people retire to that place. Everyone who loved the | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
Chicago Symphony, the Pittsburgh Symphony and so on, so many have | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
retired down there. Over the last several decades they got together in | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
each community and built fantastic concert halls. Touring is expensive | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
it's vital in boost the profile of the orchestra. Known to music fans | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
in the US through the 200 plus records recordings they have made. | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
We have a lot of people who lisp to us in on the radio today. It's | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
important and allows us to reconnect with our audience. Where are you? | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
That is me there. The first US Tour was in 1975, 17 concerts | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
That is me there. The first US Tour weeks. Raymond Williamson, a Board | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
member at the time, believes it was an important turning point. There is | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
something that happens when an orchestra is playing on tour, it's a | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
different audience. There must be a rush of adrenaline. The playing | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
takes on an age and excitement. It's something that orchestras, in my | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
view, have to do. The 1982 Tour under its serving director, Sir | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
Alexander Gibson, put Scotland on the map. It included a number of | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
Scotland compositions and a performance at Carnegie Hall. There | :24:51. | :24:58. | |
is room for an reel as an encore. Time for a look at the weather | :24:59. | :25:07. | |
now with Christopher. It's not going to be as good as we | :25:08. | :25:17. | |
were expecting tomorrow? Thank you. Yes, good evening it was cloudy and | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
damp for some of us, if not many of us today, there was some brightness | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
coming through at times. Thank you to our weather watchers for the | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
pictures. Tonight our attention is on rain moving in off the Atlantic. | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
The next few hours will be cloudy with drizzle around, hill fog at | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
times. Cold front will edge in off the Atlantic bringing in a band of | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
rain. Further south and east you are the wet weather will be light and | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
patchy. Not as cold as last night, overnight lows in towns and cities | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
five to eight Celsius, but cloudy and damp. Saturday, cloudy and damp | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
start. That will improve as the rain clears. There is a legacy of cloud | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
behind it, not brightening up as much as we had hoped for this time | :26:09. | :26:16. | |
yesterday. In the south it will be cloudy with outbreaks of rain at | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
times and hill fog across the hills. Through the central belt reasonably | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
dry, cloudy, brightness coming through for Edinburgh. North will | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
have more sunshine. With lyinged winds 13 degrees is possible. -- | :26:35. | :26:42. | |
lingering. If you are hill walking or climbing in the north-west that | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
is where the best of the sunshine will be. Fog to the Galloway Hills. | :26:47. | :26:54. | |
The afternoon will be dry, but cloudy. The north and east of any | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
high ground there will be breaks in that cloud, too. There is not a huge | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
amount of snow on-the-runs. The winds will ease after dawn and | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
fairly cloudy. As ever, check to see what is open and running before | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
setting off. The rest of the afternoon into the evening and over | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
night still some drizzle in the far south. Fog elsewhere, fairly cloudy | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
but dry elsewhere. Sunday, we do it all over again. The weather front | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
will bring outbreaks of rain and brightening up by the afternoon for | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
many. High pressure close. Here is the detail for Sunday. Band of rain | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
in the west. It moves its way eastwards, fragmenting as it does | :27:36. | :27:38. | |
so. Look what is coming behind it, some sunshine. For both Saturday and | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
Sunday the afternoons will be dryer and brighter with some sunshine for | :27:44. | :27:46. | |
some. The that's the forecast for now. Is disappointing, Chris. The | :27:47. | :27:54. | |
forecast, not you! That's Reporting Scotland I will be back just after | :27:55. | :27:57. | |
the Ten O'Clock News. Until then, from everybody here on the team in | :27:58. | :28:00. | |
Glasgow, and across the country, have a very good evening. Bye for | :28:01. | :28:02. | |
now. So, like, you get sponsored to swap | :28:03. | :28:16. | |
clothes with somebody for a day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. | :28:17. | :28:18. | |
OK, I don't get that. So, maybe... I don't get that. | :28:19. | :28:20. | |
..you wear your mother's clothes? Yeah, yeah, yeah. | :28:21. | :28:20. | |
OK, I don't get that. So, maybe... | :28:21. | :28:22. |
