:00:00. > :00:00.And on BBC One, we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

:00:00. > :00:12.The largest North Sea pipeline, delivering more than 40%

:00:13. > :00:16.of Britain's oil and gas, is bought by the Grangemouth

:00:17. > :00:22.Why we need to do more of this, a warning that 1.6 million

:00:23. > :00:26.Scots are inactive and at risk of an early death.

:00:27. > :00:32.Her husband wants more people to be aware of the illness to help

:00:33. > :00:46.It still haunts me greatly because in the last week, I would say of

:00:47. > :00:47.Liz's life, she was delirious, she was nauseous, she was constantly

:00:48. > :00:50.vomiting. Also on the programme,

:00:51. > :00:52.The 94-year-old who played a pivotal diplomatic role

:00:53. > :01:00.during the Cold War. And Brendan Rogers says

:01:01. > :01:05.he's not going anywhere. Celebrations as Celtic win

:01:06. > :01:14.their sixth league title in a row. At this moment in time I am very,

:01:15. > :01:16.very happy, very content, in every aspect of my life. I am in my dream

:01:17. > :01:28.job, that is the reality of it. A ?200 million deal's been struck

:01:29. > :01:41.to sell the North Sea's oldest oil pipeline,

:01:42. > :01:44.Forties, which pumps 450,000 barrels of oil every

:01:45. > :01:46.day from the North Sea. BP has been running the Forties

:01:47. > :01:49.pipeline since it was first Its new owners - Ineos -

:01:50. > :01:53.already own the Grangemouth refinery Here's our business and economy

:01:54. > :02:01.editor, Douglas Fraser. The symbolic Royal start to the

:02:02. > :02:07.North Sea oil boom 42 years ago. And they are indeed it is. No longer

:02:08. > :02:12.shipped by tanker the 40s pipeline made did fireball, since then it has

:02:13. > :02:18.carried the lion's share of 43 billion barrels of oil from the

:02:19. > :02:21.North Sea. The system covers oil and gas from 40 offshore installations

:02:22. > :02:26.from 40 operators to a single landing point and then it goes

:02:27. > :02:30.through three pumping stations to Grangemouth and a terminal by the

:02:31. > :02:35.Forth Bridge. BP and all associated with them have been in the forefront

:02:36. > :02:40.of achievement on our continental shelf... When BP started operating

:02:41. > :02:43.at the company was half owned by the government. It is now selling it to

:02:44. > :02:49.at the company was half owned by the INEOS which already owns Grangemouth

:02:50. > :02:53.refinery and petrochemical plant. INEOS have skill in running assets

:02:54. > :02:57.efficiently, we think we can apply the same skills to the pipeline

:02:58. > :03:01.system, we are trying to extract maximum economic value out of what

:03:02. > :03:07.everyone understands is a declining stock of oil and gas in the North

:03:08. > :03:11.Sea. BP insists it is still committed to the North Sea and

:03:12. > :03:15.installations like this one West of Shetland but it is looking into new

:03:16. > :03:21.assets. Is about what skills are best for new acids, -- which assets,

:03:22. > :03:29.is we are exploring and drilling wells etc but for INEOS, they have

:03:30. > :03:34.experience and baby taking 40s pipeline system from the reservoir

:03:35. > :03:39.to loading arms and Tigers and they will be running these assets from

:03:40. > :03:44.now on. 300 staff to be consulted and no redundancies planned yet as

:03:45. > :03:49.Grangemouth workers found the hard way in 2013 INEOS can be very tough

:03:50. > :03:54.in driving efficiencies. You are effectively signing the keys of the

:03:55. > :03:59.kingdom to one individual, a company driven by one individual. They were

:04:00. > :04:09.speaking about such a key asset, not just to the Scottish economy but to

:04:10. > :04:11.the UK economy. The oil that flows to the refinery and petrochemical

:04:12. > :04:15.plant here is just half of what it to the refinery and petrochemical

:04:16. > :04:19.was at peak production for the North Sea but and is reckoned that it

:04:20. > :04:25.could still be operating 30 years from now. One small pipeline, a very

:04:26. > :04:26.big asset for the economy. Douglas Fraser, Reporting Scotland,

:04:27. > :04:28.Grangemouth. The First Minister is in California,

:04:29. > :04:31.where she is due to discuss climate Our Correspondent James Cook joins

:04:32. > :04:46.us from outside the state capital Jackie, I think she hopes to achieve

:04:47. > :04:50.a couple of things. First and foremost she wants to exchange ideas

:04:51. > :04:54.with the governor of California, a Democrat who has been a fierce

:04:55. > :04:58.opponent of President Trump especially on climate change. The

:04:59. > :05:05.two share an interest in reducing emissions whereas the White House

:05:06. > :05:14.and Trump has made it clear that it favours economic growth over climate

:05:15. > :05:16.change. The First Minister will also discuss trade and investment, she

:05:17. > :05:20.stresses she will meet executives from some Californian companies who

:05:21. > :05:25.are investing in Scotland. And also she will be making a speech tomorrow

:05:26. > :05:29.at Stanford University, one of the world's leading universities at

:05:30. > :05:32.which she will discuss Brexit and the Middle East and of course she

:05:33. > :05:37.will discuss Scottish independence. As for the reaction to that back

:05:38. > :05:41.home, as it can imagine, some protesters are coming past us now.

:05:42. > :05:46.This is what happens all the time in the United States these days, what

:05:47. > :05:49.people are saying back home especially opposition politicians is

:05:50. > :05:52.that the First Minister should concentrate on the day job. Those

:05:53. > :05:56.were built words of the Scottish Tories, they say she should get back

:05:57. > :06:03.to work and stop grandstanding abroad. Thank you, James Cook.

:06:04. > :06:07.Nearly 40% of Scots are physically inactive.

:06:08. > :06:09.A study by the British Heart Foundation warns that

:06:10. > :06:11.as a result 1.6 million of us have a significantly increased

:06:12. > :06:13.risk of coronary heart disease and early death.

:06:14. > :06:23.Woking up and appetite, these fitness fanatics in Glasgow

:06:24. > :06:28.regularly squeeze in an exercise class in their lunch hour. Finch and

:06:29. > :06:32.brightens your day, breaks up your day, gives you a better outlook,

:06:33. > :06:37.something to do when I go back to work I am energised, refreshed,

:06:38. > :06:40.focused. Alaves you just end up putting on weight when you work in

:06:41. > :06:45.an office so I think it's important. It makes me feel good, means I can

:06:46. > :06:52.get away from my desk for half an hour, come to the gym, meet people,

:06:53. > :06:53.and it keeps me fit. It seems so simple but the British Heart

:06:54. > :07:09.Foundation say not enough of us are doing it.

:07:10. > :07:11.The charity estimates 1.6 million people in Scotland are physically

:07:12. > :07:14.inactive. They say the average man spends around 84 days you're sitting

:07:15. > :07:16.down. For women it is 81 days ago. And overall women are 24% more

:07:17. > :07:18.likely to be classified as physically inactive than men. What

:07:19. > :07:23.we should be doing according to medical guidelines is 150 minutes a

:07:24. > :07:27.week spread over a few days of something that gets the heart

:07:28. > :07:31.moving, a brisk walk, running or cycling. For some people as part of

:07:32. > :07:36.their daily routine, for many it is not. Inactivity is something that

:07:37. > :07:40.can really creep up on you. And apparently it is creeping up on

:07:41. > :07:53.around one quarter of us. Of course you will find people sweating

:07:54. > :07:58.in the gym but just a few hundred yards away how active are people on

:07:59. > :08:01.the streets outside? I didn't figure that I was unfit until a doctor

:08:02. > :08:03.actually said, you need to do more exercise than just walking. Not a

:08:04. > :08:06.lot of people to sport, I can't think of one of my friendship group

:08:07. > :08:08.that does it. Received lots of many people walking on the streets, maybe

:08:09. > :08:12.they are going in taxes than they should walk. The British Heart

:08:13. > :08:15.Foundation say it is no laughing matter and doing regular vigorous

:08:16. > :08:19.exercise like this will significantly reduce the risk of

:08:20. > :08:21.coronary heart disease or early death. Rebecca Curran, Reporting

:08:22. > :08:27.Scotland, Scotland. Seven months ago Julie Walker

:08:28. > :08:29.and her six-year-old son, Lucas, Today it's emerged that safety

:08:30. > :08:34.measures there remain unchanged despite a group being set up to look

:08:35. > :08:38.at the provision of safety equipment Our reporter Steven

:08:39. > :08:50.Duff joins us now. That's right, Jackie, a lot of talk

:08:51. > :08:53.about risk assessments, what we should do but we still don't

:08:54. > :08:58.actually know what happened on that Saturday afternoon last August, how

:08:59. > :09:03.Julie and her six-year-old son Lucas got into such difficulty that they

:09:04. > :09:07.lost their lives. We still don't know if any extra life-saving

:09:08. > :09:11.equipment or lifeguard cover would have made any difference that

:09:12. > :09:14.afternoon. We still don't know if the life-saving equipment that was

:09:15. > :09:19.in place was working properly and we also don't know whether any

:09:20. > :09:27.provision of lifeguards would have made a difference. The problem we

:09:28. > :09:32.have is that the City Council, this agency, has admitted that nothing 's

:09:33. > :09:37.safety wise has been done since the incident seven months ago. Currently

:09:38. > :09:41.on the beach there is no change in the provision of equipment, because

:09:42. > :09:45.at the minute the risk assessment process is being carried out. The

:09:46. > :09:51.management group met for the first time eight weeks ago is the group

:09:52. > :09:55.has not been long together. That it is seven months since two people

:09:56. > :09:58.died here. You are saying it only met eight weeks ago? That's in

:09:59. > :10:07.response to the National strategy drowning. Julie's Sun and because's

:10:08. > :10:10.older brother Samuel survived, last August, other people in the water

:10:11. > :10:12.survived, frenetic efforts were made to try to save this family. Thank

:10:13. > :10:14.you very much. A widower campaigning to raise

:10:15. > :10:17.public awareness of the condition sepsis following the death

:10:18. > :10:19.of his wife says he's "astonished" that some Scottish health boards

:10:20. > :10:23.are wary in case it cases "alarm". BBC Scotland can reveal one NHS

:10:24. > :10:28.board is warning it could increase "unnecessary" attendance

:10:29. > :10:30.at GP surgeries. Sepsis kills around 44,000 people

:10:31. > :10:46.every year in the UK. Sepsis is a hidden killer

:10:47. > :10:50.responsible for more deaths than lung cancer or breast, bowel and

:10:51. > :10:53.prostate cancer combined. Hard-hitting video about a

:10:54. > :10:59.potentially lethal conditions, and awareness of symptoms save lives but

:11:00. > :11:04.some health. Want us to have more information. Liz Robertson is a

:11:05. > :11:07.victim of sepsis, she died in hospital last year, her husband

:11:08. > :11:11.believes she could be still alive if she had been diagnosed sooner. It

:11:12. > :11:21.still haunts me greatly because in the last week I would say of loses

:11:22. > :11:27.life, she was nauseous, delirious, constantly vomiting, she did not

:11:28. > :11:31.know where she lived. This doctor is one of Scotland's leading experts in

:11:32. > :11:35.sepsis, treats patients every day for sepsis and nose increased

:11:36. > :11:40.awareness can mean the difference between life and death. I would

:11:41. > :11:44.support an awareness campaign. We've been working with health care

:11:45. > :11:50.professionals but we need you to help us. For every hour's delay in

:11:51. > :11:53.antibiotics the risk increases by 8% so if we can get people in the

:11:54. > :11:58.community to the hospital is quicker that will surely make a difference.

:11:59. > :12:03.Somehow boards like NHS Grampian would welcome a national campaign

:12:04. > :12:08.raising awareness of sepsis among the public, they say. All actively

:12:09. > :12:14.work to raise awareness of sepsis that some health boards are wary.

:12:15. > :12:17.NHS Dumfries and Galloway said a public campaign specifically about

:12:18. > :12:24.sepsis may cause alarm and increase and necessary attendance at GP

:12:25. > :12:30.practices or A E departments. NHS Forth Valley said it is necessary to

:12:31. > :12:35.consider the unintended consequences of inappropriately increasing public

:12:36. > :12:39.awareness. See the expression on her face? Jim focuses on the good

:12:40. > :12:44.memories and the hope that speaking about his loss may stop others dying

:12:45. > :12:50.from sepsis. Greater awareness to the public would be a very, very

:12:51. > :12:53.good legacy. Fiona Stalker, Reporting Scotland.

:12:54. > :12:55.A legal battle between a grandmother and the Aberdeenshire golf resort

:12:56. > :12:58.owned by President Trump is under way at the small claims

:12:59. > :13:03.It's an unlikely case, being brought by the woman

:13:04. > :13:11.after she was filmed by Menie Golf Resort staff doing

:13:12. > :13:15.She says that filming was a breach of data protection law.

:13:16. > :13:28.Rohan Beyts, left, arrives at court, one woman taking on a large company,

:13:29. > :13:32.making a claim against Donald Trump's International golf club in

:13:33. > :13:36.Scotland. This is her at home, she told the court she likes to take

:13:37. > :13:43.long walks, on April 11 last year she went for a walk on me Menie

:13:44. > :13:46.estate. She passed the golf course, where she was on the beach she

:13:47. > :13:51.realised she needed the toilet urgently. She said she went into the

:13:52. > :13:54.sand dunes where she thought no one could see her and she said she

:13:55. > :13:59.followed 90 laying Scotland guidelines on what to do if you need

:14:00. > :14:03.to go outdoors. -- mountaineering Scotland. Three days later there was

:14:04. > :14:06.a knock at the door and police charged with you relating in a

:14:07. > :14:10.public place in a manner which would have caused or was likely to have

:14:11. > :14:15.caused annoyance. She said that she was shocked to think that she was in

:14:16. > :14:19.the view of everyone. Police later said that three men, two of whom

:14:20. > :14:23.were employed by the development, had secretly filmed her. She said

:14:24. > :14:28.she knew she hadn't done anything wrong and the Procurator Fiscal took

:14:29. > :14:33.no action. But, upset, she took out a claim instead. Felt that people

:14:34. > :14:37.should not be filmed when they are out in the country doing something

:14:38. > :14:43.that... I was not doing anything wrong. It is something that many

:14:44. > :14:47.walkers, many climbers, people who access the outdoors do. It is a fact

:14:48. > :14:55.of life, there are not toilets out there. At the time Trump

:14:56. > :15:00.International wasn't licensed to hold such data, in view of strict

:15:01. > :15:03.data legislation laws, Rohan Beyts said she made this a good of the

:15:04. > :15:08.fact that he opposed the development from the early stages and was

:15:09. > :15:14.involved in a Facebook page, Tripping up Trump. The lawyer for

:15:15. > :15:17.the organisation said that from her posts she didn't appear distressed.

:15:18. > :15:20.She continues to challenge the claims. The case will be heard again

:15:21. > :15:23.tomorrow. The largest North Sea pipeline -

:15:24. > :15:27.which delivers more than 40% of Britain's oil and gas -

:15:28. > :15:31.is to be bought by the Grangemouth What's it like going

:15:32. > :15:35.into a black hole in space? We have the answer to that and other

:15:36. > :15:43.mind-boggling scientific questions. We all dream of a peaceful

:15:44. > :15:45.retirement with Frank Meehan is 93 and enjoys his

:15:46. > :15:48.days in Helensburgh. But as a BBC Scotland documentary

:15:49. > :15:51.to be shown this evening reveals, the work he looks back put him

:15:52. > :16:07.at the centre of 20th Frank seems much like any other

:16:08. > :16:10.pensioner. But in fact, this modest man was a key player in some of the

:16:11. > :16:16.most erratic moments of the Cold War. His parents were from

:16:17. > :16:21.Clydebank, where Frank was born in 1924 in America and spent the first

:16:22. > :16:25.nine years of his life there, before moving back to Scotland. At the end

:16:26. > :16:31.of the war he was conscripted into the U.S. Army. On a whim, he applied

:16:32. > :16:36.to join the diplomatic service. I read in the army newspaper, stars

:16:37. > :16:39.and stripes, that you could get a free day pass to take the

:16:40. > :16:49.examination. The three-day pass was something that any GI would look at

:16:50. > :16:55.carefully. I went to do the written exam. I did not do terribly well in

:16:56. > :17:02.it. I managed to scrape through, enough to be eligible to take the

:17:03. > :17:10.oral examination. I did a bit better, I think. I'm an early

:17:11. > :17:17.highlight of Frank's was his part in the Gary Power spy swap drama. An

:17:18. > :17:22.American plane was shot down over Soviet territory. It leads to an

:17:23. > :17:26.admission that the US has been conducting reconnaissance flights

:17:27. > :17:28.over the Soviet Union biplanes like this one. Frank was sent through

:17:29. > :17:36.checkpoint Charlie into East Berlin. this one. Frank was sent through

:17:37. > :17:40.You were a young diplomat and you were at the epicentre of the global

:17:41. > :17:46.Cold War which could have exploded at any moment into a third World

:17:47. > :17:50.War. Did you feel the burden on your shoulders? I do not remember it that

:17:51. > :17:58.way. There were tense moments, obviously. I didn't know when I was

:17:59. > :18:03.working, I did not know how he would be. Would he be well and would I get

:18:04. > :18:12.him? Would I be able to get out myself? It was all such touchy

:18:13. > :18:15.stuff. Frank would rise to become US ambassador in Czechoslovakia, Poland

:18:16. > :18:20.and then East Germany. He served right through the Cold War and nine

:18:21. > :18:25.US presidents. Why did you decide to settle in retirement in Scotland and

:18:26. > :18:31.not go back to the United States? That is fairly easy. My wife wanted

:18:32. > :18:36.to come here. I felt I owed it to her a bit. I dragged her around

:18:37. > :18:46.Eastern Europe all her married life. When we came here it was our 23rd

:18:47. > :18:49.full move in our married life. When you have asked a wife to do that, I

:18:50. > :18:54.think you do owe her something. One of the key elements of the UK

:18:55. > :18:57.leaving the European Union is uncertainty over the rights

:18:58. > :18:59.of people from the EU Facing concern over their future,

:19:00. > :19:02.some are applying for We've been following the story

:19:03. > :19:12.of one such woman who's been This woman arrived in the Highlands

:19:13. > :19:14.from Poland on a six-month working holiday. 13 years on she's still

:19:15. > :19:18.from Poland on a six-month working here and is well-known in Inverness

:19:19. > :19:26.is a popular trader in the cityVictorian market. However you?

:19:27. > :19:31.Good, thank you. Living and working here for over a decade was not

:19:32. > :19:35.enough to give her the right to vote in last year's EU referendum. I

:19:36. > :19:40.disagree with that. I have decided to live in this country make this

:19:41. > :19:44.country might own. Only because I don't have a British passport I'm

:19:45. > :19:49.not able to make any decisions for the future of myself and my family.

:19:50. > :19:55.With the referendum outcome casting a shadow, the owner of the shop is

:19:56. > :19:59.taking matters into her own hands but she is in the process of

:20:00. > :20:09.applying to become a British citizen. She is furiously revising

:20:10. > :20:13.for two upcoming citizenship tests. Sometimes it is very entertaining

:20:14. > :20:18.and sometimes quite scary. You do have very common questions about

:20:19. > :20:25.what do British people eat for Christmas? When you have questions

:20:26. > :20:29.like, what is the population of Muslim people in Britain? And you

:20:30. > :20:34.are thinking, how many British people know that? To make that very

:20:35. > :20:40.point she has been putting British citizens to the test. So, the

:20:41. > :20:47.question is, what is the correct order of the patron Saints days? And

:20:48. > :20:58.you have three options. Whenever you feel free, press the button. Failed.

:20:59. > :21:02.Apparently. Who'd have thought it? You to wonder whether it will help

:21:03. > :21:08.in everyday life in Britain to know when Saint Patrick's Day is. OK.

:21:09. > :21:16.I've read it? A very impressive hillfort can still be seen today at

:21:17. > :21:23.Maidenhead Castle. What English county does it standing? Up Dawson.

:21:24. > :21:28.I was going to say Cornwall. Wrong. Not relevant to becoming a citizen,

:21:29. > :21:30.I don't think. She has travelled from Inverness to Glasgow, taking a

:21:31. > :21:35.I don't think. She has travelled major step on the road to becoming a

:21:36. > :21:39.British passport holder. She re-emerges to hours later after

:21:40. > :21:44.sitting compulsory tests in English and UK general knowledge. At the

:22:09. > :22:12.be able to vote in an election and to make a difference in this

:22:13. > :22:22.country, since I have been living there for such a time.

:22:23. > :22:30.Brendan Rodgers has assured Celtic fans he is staying at the club.

:22:31. > :22:37.If you are happy and you know it, raised the flag. At the Celtic

:22:38. > :22:42.training ground today it was pretty much a league title loving. They

:22:43. > :22:46.have good reason to celebrate. This was empowering their way past heart

:22:47. > :22:51.yesterday. It was never really in doubt. Like so often this season

:23:03. > :23:10.focus of today's back pages. -- success. The man who has been now is

:23:11. > :23:17.not interested for now. 18 months after the Liverpool job, I was

:23:18. > :23:24.sacked. Now I am very happy and content. I'm in my dream job. That

:23:25. > :23:28.is the reality of it. The other reality is his players are on course

:23:29. > :23:36.for a treble and a possible season unbeaten. I know you do not like to

:23:37. > :23:41.talk about it but there must be something you focus on in that

:23:42. > :23:47.dressing room. It is the history that people talk about for years and

:23:48. > :23:52.years. To get the squad to do that, I believe we have the potential. We

:23:53. > :23:55.just need to keep working hard, as I have said. Something this man

:23:56. > :24:03.demands. But they know when they do they get the rewards.

:24:04. > :24:08.What's it like going into a black hole?

:24:09. > :24:18.The Edinburgh science Festival is aiming to do this and more.

:24:19. > :24:26.Is it art or is it science question at scientists used lasers to

:24:27. > :24:32.simulate lack holes in the laboratory. This artist was working

:24:33. > :24:36.alongside them. The whole version are making light travel slower than

:24:37. > :24:41.the speed of light then making it vanished down a cosmic plughole. I

:24:42. > :24:46.spend most of my residency probably looking like I was doing nothing. I

:24:47. > :24:50.chose to sit in the laboratory corridor, which was not very

:24:51. > :24:57.comfortable. Every time someone was milling around, I would peer over

:24:58. > :25:03.and ask questions. There is a tendency to think about art and

:25:04. > :25:08.science as being separate. Here is a work of art that the base of the

:25:09. > :25:11.laws of physics. After this exhibition is over it would be used

:25:12. > :25:16.in a scientific experiment. Researchers will be using it to save

:25:17. > :25:20.energy can be extracted from vortices like these. Elsewhere in

:25:21. > :25:24.the exhibition Art inspired by research into the waters of

:25:25. > :25:27.Scotland, including a coral reef in the Western Isles. The data and

:25:28. > :25:34.information the scientists gather has a great beauty to it. It is very

:25:35. > :25:39.tactile and sensory. It has been interesting for me talking them

:25:40. > :25:44.about how we can represent that and asking interesting questions like,

:25:45. > :25:48.if you were to walk along the sea bed at 600 metres depth of the

:25:49. > :25:54.coast, what would it feel like and what would you see? The artist did

:25:55. > :25:57.not just watch but worked with the scientists. The process involved a

:25:58. > :26:05.lot of design, discussion, sketching ideas. Much like science. I don't

:26:06. > :26:09.think it's that important that the public understand the details of

:26:10. > :26:13.what we are doing in the lab but what is important is that the public

:26:14. > :26:17.has a good time, enjoys themselves and see something new and learn

:26:18. > :26:21.something new and gets excited about the science. More than a dozen

:26:22. > :26:27.artists are taking part in the exhibition. It is at this venue

:26:28. > :26:30.until mid-May to show that science is beautiful.

:26:31. > :26:43.It has been a going downhill type of day for many of us with rain moving

:26:44. > :26:49.in from the West. Blustery conditions for many. Particularly so

:26:50. > :26:52.along the West Coast and across the Northern Isles. This evening and for

:26:53. > :26:56.a time to write, further bands of rain coming in from the West,

:26:57. > :27:00.crossing the country and eventually clearing away into the North Sea. In

:27:01. > :27:04.the early hours, a lot of dry weather with showers moving in

:27:05. > :27:09.across the North West and Northern Isles. Clear spells in the sheltered

:27:10. > :27:17.east and a touch of ground frost. For the most part, temperatures

:27:18. > :27:20.around two to five Celsius. Wins will be veering westerly overnight.

:27:21. > :27:24.Tomorrow will start the day with a lot of dry weather. Plenty of

:27:25. > :27:28.brightness and sunshine. A chilly start as well. As we go through the

:27:29. > :27:32.day cloud will increase across many areas and we hold on to the showers

:27:33. > :27:39.across the North. There will be fairly frequent showers and at times

:27:40. > :27:44.heavy with hail and strong to gale force winds come tomorrow afternoon.

:27:45. > :27:47.Across much of the mainland, a fairly cloudy prospects tomorrow

:27:48. > :27:51.afternoon. The best of the brightness and sunshine will be in

:27:52. > :27:55.this sheltered East. Temperatures will peak around 13 Celsius. The

:27:56. > :27:59.showers continued to affect the Western Isles and the north-west

:28:00. > :28:05.Highlands, accompanied by brisk, westerly winds. Tomorrow evening the

:28:06. > :28:09.winds will strengthen further across the Northern Isles. Gusts up to 65

:28:10. > :28:13.miles an hour and the showers will continue to affect the North also

:28:18. > :28:20.back of things to come with more settled weather coming our way for

:28:21. > :28:24.the second half of the week. On Wednesday we will see a few showers

:28:25. > :28:28.across western areas at least in the morning. The best of the brightness

:28:29. > :28:34.and the sunshine will be in the east with highs of 13 Celsius. Thursday

:28:35. > :28:42.looks mostly dry. The best of the brightness will be in the East.
