:00:44. > :00:46.back the pitch for a film studio Destitution, harrassment

:00:47. > :00:50.and illegal evictions - concern over the welfare

:00:51. > :00:56.of asylum seekers in Glasgow. And almost 40 years after making

:00:57. > :00:58.it to the Big Time, New developments tonight in two

:00:59. > :01:15.separate long-running In a moment, we'll hear

:01:16. > :01:20.about a new search in the case of Emma Caldwell,

:01:21. > :01:23.who disappeared 12 years ago. Meanwhile, in East Lothian,

:01:24. > :01:25.police officers are investigating They have spoken to the family

:01:26. > :01:31.of 43-year-old Louise Tiffney, Our reporter Morag Kinniburgh

:01:32. > :01:47.is at the site for us this evening. Forensic scientists have been

:01:48. > :01:51.working here since a cyclist reported finding human bones on

:01:52. > :01:54.Sunday evening. Detectives say they have to be extremely careful about

:01:55. > :02:00.sensitively removing the bones so as not to disturb or miss or damage any

:02:01. > :02:03.evidence. The police say they have been in touch with relatives of

:02:04. > :02:05.Louise Tiffney as a courtesy because she had a link to this particular

:02:06. > :02:09.area before but they stressed no she had a link to this particular

:02:10. > :02:13.positive identification has taken place as yet. It might take a long

:02:14. > :02:15.time. This death is being treated as unexplained.

:02:16. > :02:22.The Coast road through East Lothian has been closed for several miles

:02:23. > :02:27.for several days. 40 police officers are involved. They are investigating

:02:28. > :02:30.the discovery of human bones near Gosford house by Longniddry. Police

:02:31. > :02:36.say recording and recovering the remains is painstaking work. They

:02:37. > :02:42.have contacted the family of Louise Tiffney, 43-year-old Edinburgh woman

:02:43. > :02:47.who went missing 15 years ago, shortly after this footage of her

:02:48. > :02:50.with her son, Sean Flynn, when he appeared in court on another matter.

:02:51. > :02:57.He later stood trial for her murder. The case was found not proven. It is

:02:58. > :03:00.thought he left the country. At the time she disappeared, searches were

:03:01. > :03:05.made of the water of Leith near her home and the Gosford House area of

:03:06. > :03:09.East Lothian but no sign was found of her then. Officers have spent a

:03:10. > :03:13.further day here, exploring the area around Gosford House by Longniddry.

:03:14. > :03:17.They stressed the investigation is that it is a very early stages and

:03:18. > :03:22.it could be many more days, if not weeks, before the identity of the

:03:23. > :03:22.dead person is known. Morag Kinniburgh, Reporting Scotland, East

:03:23. > :03:24.Lothian. As that investigation

:03:25. > :03:28.was continuing, across the country, a fingertip search of a remote area

:03:29. > :03:32.of woodland was under way in what's being described as a "crucial stage"

:03:33. > :03:34.of another unsolved murder inquiry. 27-year-old Emma Caldwell was last

:03:35. > :03:37.seen alive in Glasgow in 2005. A month later, her body was found

:03:38. > :03:40.in woodland in south Lanarkshire. Our home affairs correspondent,

:03:41. > :03:43.Reevel Alderson reports on the developments

:03:44. > :03:55.in this long-running case. This is one of the last positive

:03:56. > :03:58.sightings of Emma Caldwell, exactly 12 years ago. The 27-year-old was

:03:59. > :04:02.working as a prostitute in Glasgow to fund a heroin habit but despite a

:04:03. > :04:08.number of arrests, no one has ever been charged with her murder. Today,

:04:09. > :04:11.her parents were with police as a new search was announced. Her mother

:04:12. > :04:15.praised their hard work and persistence over 12 years and

:04:16. > :04:21.addressed Emma's killer directly. Living with the guilt of taking her

:04:22. > :04:27.life must be dreadful. But if you have no conscience, then be aware,

:04:28. > :04:34.my family and I will never give up fighting for justice on Emma's

:04:35. > :04:41.behalf. We can do no less, for we love and miss her every day, not

:04:42. > :04:45.just today. The new search is concentrated in the woods where

:04:46. > :04:49.Emma's body was found but this is only part of what is a reinvigorated

:04:50. > :04:53.investigation. There are now 13,000 people on the police database

:04:54. > :05:00.connected to this case. Officers have spoken to 5700 witnesses and

:05:01. > :05:03.seized 9000 items and viewed 4000 hours of CCTV footage. Police are

:05:04. > :05:07.keen to speak to any woman who may have been involved in prostitution

:05:08. > :05:13.and might have been brought to these woods, to come forward. They are

:05:14. > :05:18.also keen to trace a black BMW which Emma may have got into in Glasgow on

:05:19. > :05:23.the night she disappeared. That car is believed to have emanated from

:05:24. > :05:27.Dumfries, and the motorway between Glasgow and Dumfries is only a

:05:28. > :05:30.couple of miles from this remote location. This new search involves

:05:31. > :05:35.20 officers and will later see police divers in a pond nearby, as

:05:36. > :05:38.detectives re-examine the work of their colleagues and gather new

:05:39. > :05:43.information. The reason we have returned to this area is on the back

:05:44. > :05:46.of some information we have received through reinterviewing witnesses and

:05:47. > :05:50.also through consultation with national search advisers, there are

:05:51. > :05:53.two specific areas of interest to us so we will undertake those searches

:05:54. > :05:57.today and probably for the rest of the week in the hope that we will

:05:58. > :06:02.recover the clothing that Emma was wearing the night she went missing

:06:03. > :06:05.the belongings she had with her that night. This new phase of the

:06:06. > :06:09.investigation will last a week with detectives able to use new

:06:10. > :06:13.techniques including enhanced DNA capability is not available to

:06:14. > :06:14.earlier investigators. Reevel Alderson, Reporting Scotland, South

:06:15. > :06:15.Lanarkshire. Scotland's first purpose-built movie

:06:16. > :06:17.studio complex could be up Government ministers have stepped

:06:18. > :06:21.in to grant planning But the site remains

:06:22. > :06:34.highly controversial. The Avengers may not yet have

:06:35. > :06:36.assembled but the scene has been set for filming the latest instalment of

:06:37. > :06:41.the franchise in Edinburgh later this month. The Scottish capital, a

:06:42. > :06:50.long-time friend of film-makers, with the likes of T2 Trainspotting

:06:51. > :06:53.and Outlander among the major productions made here. There were

:06:54. > :06:56.concerns over lack of studio space and now the green light has been

:06:57. > :07:01.given for a purpose-built film and TV studio, just outside the city.

:07:02. > :07:04.It's going to have a very positive impact on the local economy, the

:07:05. > :07:10.Scottish economy, on the possibility of attracting high-profile, high

:07:11. > :07:14.budget productions into the area and therefore, put more of our region on

:07:15. > :07:20.screen. The studio will be built on about 100 acres of green belt and

:07:21. > :07:23.industry to an area, PCL Land Limited, the firm behind the

:07:24. > :07:27.proposals, say it will be world class. But it's not been without

:07:28. > :07:30.controversy. A Scottish Government reporter said permission for this

:07:31. > :07:33.site should be refused as the facility would have an adverse

:07:34. > :07:39.impact on the local landscape and people living and working nearby.

:07:40. > :07:42.The Scottish Government say it has granted permission in principle

:07:43. > :07:46.after careful consideration. The decision has been welcomed by those

:07:47. > :07:50.working in the industry. I think it is fantastic news for Edinburgh

:07:51. > :07:54.because it is a great showcase of the kind of locations Scotland can

:07:55. > :07:59.offer. But it is important for the whole of Scotland. People can be

:08:00. > :08:04.based in Edinburgh but they can film all over Scotland and this makes it

:08:05. > :08:07.easier. Midlothian Council says it welcomes the opportunity and will

:08:08. > :08:12.now work closely with the developer to progress the application. It is

:08:13. > :08:17.estimated up to 1600 jobs could be created and backers hope the first

:08:18. > :08:18.studios will be operational by 2018. Rebecca Curran, Reporting Scotland,

:08:19. > :08:20.Edinburgh. The number of people delayed

:08:21. > :08:22.in hospital beds when they're ready The government says this is proof

:08:23. > :08:27.that the integration of health and social care is working,

:08:28. > :08:29.but they acknowledge in some areas it's not as far down

:08:30. > :08:32.the line as it should be. Here's our health

:08:33. > :08:42.correspondent Lisa Summers. Good morning, Mrs Scott! How are you

:08:43. > :08:47.today? 86-year-old Helen Scott ended up in hospital with a fractured

:08:48. > :08:50.vertebra. A commitment to get her care at home means a team of

:08:51. > :08:54.specialists from the community but also the hospital now help her

:08:55. > :09:00.recover in her own house. I couldn't have stayed at home if I hadn't had

:09:01. > :09:04.the help because as I say, my family are in San Francisco, Cambridge,

:09:05. > :09:09.Manchester. They are all so far away. I've nothing but praise for

:09:10. > :09:13.the carers. They are young, so you get their stories and live another

:09:14. > :09:17.life with them. As soon as someone get their stories and live another

:09:18. > :09:21.is admitted to hospital in Dundee, they are assessed by a geriatric

:09:22. > :09:24.specialist. That is in order to help put things in place to speed up the

:09:25. > :09:28.process of getting them out at the other side and they say since they

:09:29. > :09:32.have been doing that, it is rare to find somebody stuck in hospital

:09:33. > :09:36.longer than they should be because a care package is not ready for them.

:09:37. > :09:42.You've got good circulation in your foot so that is good. In this care

:09:43. > :09:47.home, they also provide short-term beds for those en route home from

:09:48. > :09:52.hospital. And there is a drive to help people avoid hospital

:09:53. > :09:56.altogether. The longer an old, frail person spends in hospital, the

:09:57. > :09:59.longer they are going to take to recover. They are going to lose a

:10:00. > :10:03.lot of the functioning and also, other things will kick in gum

:10:04. > :10:11.infections, delirium, that will make the stay longer so by acting sooner,

:10:12. > :10:14.we prevent those things happening. There are big questions about health

:10:15. > :10:16.care in the community, GP recruitment problems mean more

:10:17. > :10:21.surgeries like this one having to be taken over by health boards. A

:10:22. > :10:25.leading public health consultant recently warned MSPs about the scale

:10:26. > :10:29.of the problem. The difficulties there are part of one of the biggest

:10:30. > :10:33.health problems we are about to endure. Andy Yiadom the line, some

:10:34. > :10:37.organisations question whether the transformation is happening quickly

:10:38. > :10:41.enough. One of the things we are concerned about though is the pace

:10:42. > :10:47.and the extent of change around the country. It is somewhat of a mixed

:10:48. > :10:52.picture. There are certainly some good example is happening in some

:10:53. > :10:56.areas. But elsewhere, there has perhaps not been the progress that

:10:57. > :11:00.we would have hoped. In Dundee, the Health Secretary met those involved

:11:01. > :11:05.in integration. Some partnerships are further ahead than others. We

:11:06. > :11:08.have seen a 9% reduction in delayed discharge so across the board it is

:11:09. > :11:12.going in the right direction but there are some partnerships that

:11:13. > :11:17.still need to do more. Integration is working well for Helen, but the

:11:18. > :11:19.question is, if and when will it work for everyone? Lisa Summers,

:11:20. > :11:23.Reporting Scotland, Dundee. Disabled Scots are facing major

:11:24. > :11:30.barriers when it comes to equality. That's according to the Equality

:11:31. > :11:32.and Human Rights Commission. A new report from the organisation

:11:33. > :11:35.says they're more likely to be unemployed and paid less

:11:36. > :11:37.than able-bodied workers. Nicola Sturgeon will argue in favour

:11:38. > :11:39.of immigration and free trade in a speech in California later this

:11:40. > :11:42.evening, as she continues her Our North America correspondent,

:11:43. > :11:54.James Cook, is in California. Nicola Sturgeon is trying to do two

:11:55. > :11:59.things here in the US. First, she insists this visit is mainly about

:12:00. > :12:02.trade and investment links and indeed, yesterday, she met Tim Cook

:12:03. > :12:06.from Apple to discuss pioneering medical research and she also talked

:12:07. > :12:10.about using batteries to store renewable energy with people from

:12:11. > :12:14.Tesla. But secondly, she is trying to show that Scotland is a player on

:12:15. > :12:18.the world stage. What we are trying to do in Scotland, and that is white

:12:19. > :12:23.coming to meet companies like Apple and Tesla, we are trying to take

:12:24. > :12:26.these big challenges that the world faces, where Scotland has a

:12:27. > :12:28.comparative advantage, and not only lead the world in doing the right

:12:29. > :12:32.thing but also try to get the economic advantage of that in terms

:12:33. > :12:36.of investment for Scotland as well. How do you respond to the

:12:37. > :12:39.accusations that have been made back in Scotland, particularly by the

:12:40. > :12:44.Conservatives, who say he was in the grand standing abroad and talking

:12:45. > :12:49.too much about independence? This trip is fundamentally about business

:12:50. > :12:52.links and trade all the more important now, in light of Brexit,

:12:53. > :12:54.that Scotland get out there and sells the message about what an

:12:55. > :13:00.attractive place we are to do business. That is part of my day

:13:01. > :13:02.job. In her speech here very soon, the First Minister is expected to

:13:03. > :13:06.say that disillusionment with immigration and free trade poses a

:13:07. > :13:10.danger to defenders of globalisation. She will argue that

:13:11. > :13:15.the answer is to build fair and inclusive societies. The implication

:13:16. > :13:19.being really that Brexit in Europe and the rise of President Trump in

:13:20. > :13:21.the USA are actually symptoms of a problem rather than solutions.

:13:22. > :13:23.James Cook, there. Final submissions have

:13:24. > :13:25.been heard in the case of a grandmother pursuing

:13:26. > :13:31.Trump International for damages. She said her privacy was breached

:13:32. > :13:34.after she was told she'd been filmed urinating near the Trump golf

:13:35. > :13:36.course in Aberdeenshire. Trump International

:13:37. > :13:37.contest the claim. A decision will be

:13:38. > :13:43.delivered tomorrow at noon. You're watching BBC

:13:44. > :13:44.Reporting Scotland. Police try to establish

:13:45. > :13:50.if the discovery of remains in East Lothian could be linked

:13:51. > :13:52.to the disappearance we're down at Portobello shore

:13:53. > :14:04.as Team Scotland's beach volleyball players begin practising

:14:05. > :14:07.for next year's Commonwealth MEPs meet in Strasbourg tomorrow

:14:08. > :14:12.to debate Britain's decision They will discuss a draft resolution

:14:13. > :14:20.on the Brexit negotiations. That resolution notes the majority

:14:21. > :14:22.Remain votes in both Scotland Our political correspondent,

:14:23. > :14:38.Nick Eardley, is in Strasbourg We are used to hearing about

:14:39. > :14:42.Brussels when it comes to big European institutions but it is in

:14:43. > :14:45.Strasbourg, which is on the French border with Germany, that the

:14:46. > :14:49.European Parliament comes to vote every month. Over the next two

:14:50. > :14:52.years, as part of the Brexit process, MEPs have a role to play.

:14:53. > :15:00.They can reject or indeed approve any Brexit deals. Tomorrow, they

:15:01. > :15:05.will be discussing their negotiating objectives. As part of that, they

:15:06. > :15:08.want to see the UK meet all its obligations until the day it leaves

:15:09. > :15:13.the European Union. It also wants to make sure the benefits of membership

:15:14. > :15:17.don't apply to the UK when it leaves. A little earlier, I spoke to

:15:18. > :15:19.the German Scottish MEP, David McAllister.

:15:20. > :15:28.We all want an orderly Brexit. We want to get this done and we want to

:15:29. > :15:33.get this done in an atmosphere of no revenge. It is not about punishing

:15:34. > :15:37.the British but let's face reality, the UK wants to leave the European

:15:38. > :15:40.Union, we are very sad to see them go but let's get this divorce done.

:15:41. > :15:41.There is a specific mention of Scotland

:15:42. > :15:54.Something that is significant, it is the UK Government that will

:15:55. > :15:57.negotiate directly with Europe as Brexit approaches. In that sense,

:15:58. > :16:02.the Scottish Government won't play a formal role but there is goodwill in

:16:03. > :16:05.Europe towards Scotland, given that the vote north of the border was

:16:06. > :16:10.different to the UK as a whole. Now that motion tomorrow, if it passes,

:16:11. > :16:13.which is almost certain, will formally acknowledge that Scotland

:16:14. > :16:18.and Northern Ireland both voted to remain. Does that change things

:16:19. > :16:21.fundamentally? No, it does not mean the Scottish Government's Brexit

:16:22. > :16:25.proposals are suddenly on the table but it will be the first official

:16:26. > :16:30.acknowledgement that the results in different parts of the UK were

:16:31. > :16:35.different and as one SNP MEP put it tonight, it leaves the door open.

:16:36. > :16:37.It's often claimed that Scotland has a reputation for welcoming

:16:38. > :16:39.those in need of refuge, but is it justified?

:16:40. > :16:42.An organisation which helps asylum seeks in Glasgow says it's come

:16:43. > :16:44.across examples of destitution, harassment and illegal evictions.

:16:45. > :17:00.Olivia fled to Scotland from Zambia in 2005 on humanitarian grounds. She

:17:01. > :17:06.has since suffered health problems. She's lost count of the number of

:17:07. > :17:11.times she's had to move, found herself homeless bgs reliant on

:17:12. > :17:15.charity. In January, she was offered a flat in Ibrox where she lives with

:17:16. > :17:18.her 10 month old son, Reece. I had been staying somewhere and they told

:17:19. > :17:24.me the contract was actually finishing. That they wanted to have

:17:25. > :17:32.their property back. Existing on ?25 a week, that has been a shock on my

:17:33. > :17:36.head. It's even to do a budget, when I write down a list of what I need

:17:37. > :17:41.to get for my son. I have to ignore myself. Thankfully, we have been

:17:42. > :17:47.offered accommodation. Last week, Olivia gave evidence to a Holyrood

:17:48. > :17:50.committee looking to destitution of those of insecure status in

:17:51. > :17:55.Scotland. The Red Cross told the committee it had seen a significant

:17:56. > :18:00.rise in the number of destitute asylum seekers in the last four

:18:01. > :18:03.years. Police Scotland talks about the high-risk these vulnerable

:18:04. > :18:08.people face of being targeted by criminal gangs. In three separate

:18:09. > :18:12.sessions and 100 written submissions the committee has had claims of how

:18:13. > :18:17.seekers have been illegally evicted from properties, given no notice to

:18:18. > :18:22.quit or finding locks changed when they are out. Forced to live in

:18:23. > :18:29.sub-standard accommodation. Subjected to overcrowding. Being

:18:30. > :18:37.bullied by staff employed by the housing providers. We hear regularly

:18:38. > :18:42.of situations where asylum seekers are being bullied, intimidated by

:18:43. > :18:46.the provider. Derogatory comments have been made by the people who are

:18:47. > :18:51.meant to support them. A researcher who worked on cases like Olivia's

:18:52. > :18:52.says there needs to be a consistent approach from social services and

:18:53. > :18:57.says there needs to be a consistent local authorities. I'd like to see a

:18:58. > :19:03.human rights framework approach to assessment, so I'd like to see a

:19:04. > :19:09.consistent approach for people and I'd like to see levels of financial

:19:10. > :19:15.support increase and I'd like to see accommodation be secured in a timely

:19:16. > :19:22.fashion. To date, Glasgow is the only local authority in Scotland to

:19:23. > :19:25.take on asylum seekers. Equalities and human rights committee will

:19:26. > :19:35.publish its findings later this month. Some sport now.

:19:36. > :19:37.Hibernian boss, Neil Lennon, and Morton manager, Jim Duffy,

:19:38. > :19:40.have both been issued a notice of complaint by the Scottish

:19:41. > :19:42.FA's compliance officer following their touchline bust-up

:19:43. > :19:45.Lennon and Duffy were sent to the stand as tempers

:19:46. > :19:47.flared near the end of the Ladbrokes Championship

:19:48. > :19:50.Both clubs have also been charged with alleged misconduct

:19:51. > :19:56.It may feel like Glasgow's Commonwealth Games were held not

:19:57. > :19:59.so long ago, but this time next year we'll be watching the Opening

:20:00. > :20:05.The venue is the Australian Gold Coast and Team Scotland have

:20:06. > :20:11.Today, the focus was at Portobello Beach -

:20:12. > :20:13.the training Centre for Team Scotland's resiliant

:20:14. > :20:29.One year to go and it seems Scotland is getting into the Gold Coast

:20:30. > :20:33.spirit. Temperatures maybe less Pacific and more Portobello, but

:20:34. > :20:36.there is nothing tepid about the commitment or skills of the beach

:20:37. > :20:39.volleyball team. We have been training every day over the winter.

:20:40. > :20:43.We are trying to show people that beach volleyball you can play in

:20:44. > :20:46.Scotland, no matter the weather. We are certainly succeeding in that.

:20:47. > :20:49.The popularity of the sport is growing and growing. We hope to

:20:50. > :20:54.inspire and attract new people to the sport by playing. Scotland's

:20:55. > :21:03.most successful Commonwealth Games was Glasgow 2014 with a record 53

:21:04. > :21:07.medals won. Team Scotland's most successful overseas game was in 2006

:21:08. > :21:11.in Melbourne when 29 medals were won. What is the expectation one

:21:12. > :21:22.year from now in the Gold Coast 2018? We are looking at our best

:21:23. > :21:32.oversea performance. The benchmark is Melbourne 2006 when we were last

:21:33. > :21:38.Down Under. More than 29 medals we will have our best overseas

:21:39. > :21:41.performance. Some of those performers got together to try their

:21:42. > :21:48.hand in beach volleyball. A chance to get to know other athletes in

:21:49. > :21:55.this multi sport Team Scotland. It's pretty cool. Lots are ball sports

:21:56. > :22:00.people. They are better at volley than I am. I've met them before at

:22:01. > :22:05.other things. They are nice and excited to be in the team with them.

:22:06. > :22:13.What about the bikinis. Do you wear bikinis in Scotland as well? We wear

:22:14. > :22:16.as many layers as possible. When you compete you have to wear a minimum

:22:17. > :22:20.amount of clothing depending on the weather and temperatures. Minimum 16

:22:21. > :22:24.degrees you can wear layers. Anything above that you have to

:22:25. > :22:34.dress down to your bikini. Now you know. Gold Coast 2018, 71 countries,

:22:35. > :22:40.18 sports and just one year to go. I told you they were resilient.

:22:41. > :22:42.For those of us of a certain vintage, the singer Sheena Easton

:22:43. > :22:45.will forever be linked with taking the morning train and working nine

:22:46. > :22:48.to five - if you're not, it probably doesn't matter.

:22:49. > :22:50.But her rise from Lanarkshire teacher to international fame

:22:51. > :22:52.began on one of the first ever reality shows.

:22:53. > :22:54.Now, almost 40 years after that launch, she's

:22:55. > :23:02.Our arts correspondent, Pauline McLean, went to meet her.

:23:03. > :23:06.# What she wants to be # What she wants to be

:23:07. > :23:10.# All she wants to be # All she wants to be

:23:11. > :23:15.# Is a modern girl... # This is where it all began for

:23:16. > :23:20.Sheena Easton, as a student being followed by a documentary team as

:23:21. > :23:25.she recorded her first single. In the four decades since, Sheena

:23:26. > :23:31.Easton has done it all, moved to LA, sold more than 20 million records

:23:32. > :23:36.and duetted from everyone from Prince to Kenny Rodgers. She hasn't

:23:37. > :23:45.starred in a West End musical. Until now! In new revival of the musical

:23:46. > :23:48.42nd Street she plays the stage diva, Dorothy Brock, who hasn't a

:23:49. > :23:54.hit in decades. Her own story has much more in common with high

:23:55. > :23:58.kicking chorus girl, Peggy Sawyer. When I started out I was like the

:23:59. > :24:02.Peggy character's concept of - I want to get her, audition, get on

:24:03. > :24:06.with it and do it. You put the fear aside when be you are young. You

:24:07. > :24:11.have an idea. You have a goal. You go for it. You put yourself through

:24:12. > :24:15.all sorts. Back then, and today, whenever I see an opening for

:24:16. > :24:20.something that I really want, I step through that door. One thing that

:24:21. > :24:24.I've always said is that, I'm so blessed that I've had so many

:24:25. > :24:29.opportunities and what I found over the years is, doing one thing often

:24:30. > :24:32.opens the door to another thing. From duetting with Prince to taking

:24:33. > :24:37.time out to bring up her two children, she's done it all. Well,

:24:38. > :24:41.maybe not everything? I want to go to Iceland and take great pictures.

:24:42. > :24:46.Yeah, you know, just pictures that I'd be happy with. There is stuff

:24:47. > :24:50.that isn't entertainment related that I have that I want to do. I've

:24:51. > :24:54.done most of the things I really wanted to do in the industry. At

:24:55. > :24:58.this point, it's now a bit of rinse and repeat. It's like I want to do

:24:59. > :25:02.things again that I've done in the past and go get another look at it.

:25:03. > :25:08.You know, from a different perspective. For now though, 42nd

:25:09. > :25:11.Street is her destination. The show opens this week and if successful

:25:12. > :25:24.should run and run! Kawser has no idea, Sheena Easton?

:25:25. > :25:35.Looks like a great show and she seems like a lovely lady.

:25:36. > :25:38.Diplomatically put. The showers today were mainly across the west.

:25:39. > :25:40.The best of the brightness has been further towards the east. We had

:25:41. > :25:43.The best of the brightness has been pictures sent in from our weather

:25:44. > :25:56.watchers. This picture of a rainbow in the gabbing ground from the Isle

:25:57. > :26:04.of Mull. A dramatic spring scene in Aberdeenshire. The westerly winds

:26:05. > :26:12.will strengthen as we head through the night, gusts of 60-70mph across

:26:13. > :26:16.the far North and for the Northern Isles, storm-force for Shetland for

:26:17. > :26:25.a time. Elsewhere will be breezy, cloudy. Under the clearer skies

:26:26. > :26:29.dipping down to four Celsius. On the mild side elsewhere, six degrees.

:26:30. > :26:33.The bulk of the cloud towards the west, a few well scattered showers,

:26:34. > :26:41.the best of the sunshine further towards the east. If you are heading

:26:42. > :26:47.out around 4.00pm there will be showers for Shetland, the best of

:26:48. > :26:50.the sunshine to the North. Cloudier towards highland and islands.

:26:51. > :27:00.Scattered showers up over the hills. For most it will be largely dry,

:27:01. > :27:03.temperatures 10 to 14 Celsius. We have weather systems to the north of

:27:04. > :27:09.us. This is bringing more in the way of cloud for us in Scotland compared

:27:10. > :27:13.to the rest of the UK. A few more showers and quite breezy conditions

:27:14. > :27:16.too. By the time we reach Thursday it's cloudy to start. The showers

:27:17. > :27:20.mainly to the west. A few will get across to the east as well. The best

:27:21. > :27:25.of any brightness towards the north-east. Temperatures similar, we

:27:26. > :27:30.are looking at 10-13 or 14 Celsius. Similar conditions for Friday. It's

:27:31. > :27:33.getting a little bit better. Thank you very much.

:27:34. > :27:37.I'll be back with the headlines at 8.00pm and the late bulletin just

:27:38. > :27:40.Until then, from everyone on the team - right

:27:41. > :27:45.across the country - have a very good evening.
