So it's goodbye from me and on BBC One we now join the BBC's | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The BBC finds evidence that dozens more have faults | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
I think this is why the whole industry has to look at the system | :00:09. | :00:21. | |
and how they can manage that system better than they have as is | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
indicated at the moment. Also on the programme, | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
demonstrators gather in Glasgow to protest against the so-called | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
rape clause in the UK The Scottish Conservatives say that | :00:28. | :00:37. | |
Holyrood's welfare powers should be used to mitigate it. | :00:38. | :00:38. | |
How robots are transforming work down on the farm. | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
The airport seizures that show that travellers aren't paying | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
attention to the rules when they go through security. | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
And boxer Ricky Burns goes head to head with his opponent for what's | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
been billed as the biggest fight of his career. | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
A BBC investigation has found that construction faults have been found | :00:53. | :01:08. | |
They're similar to those that led to the closure of 17 schools | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
Fiona Walker from our investigations unit can tell us more. | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
It was this time last year that parents discovered it wasn't just | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
one school in Edinburgh that has been badly built, but 17. | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
Now in a Freedom of Information request, the BBC has discovered that | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
71 more schools in Scotland have been found to have similar defects. | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
These schools are located across 15 local authorities and that takes | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
the total, when you include Edinburgh, to 88 faulty schools | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
What's also emerged is that 11 local authorities say they haven't yet | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
carried out the more detailed intrusive checks | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
These are surveys the report into the Edinburgh scandal said | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
It was only when nine tonnes of all came crashing into the playground at | :02:04. | :02:19. | |
this primary school last January that they realised the school hadn't | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
been built properly. The official report said it was lucky nobody was | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
killed. It then emerged that 17 schools in the city were potentially | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
dangerous. But the number of schools we now know to have been affected as | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
prompted this reaction. Is actually frightening to think there are so | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
many schools that potentially have the same problem. Let's not forget | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
that, at that school, somebody could have been killed. Defective bits | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
like this were part of the problem. Because the faults were not found in | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
one or two rogue builders, the construction industry says there | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
needs to be changes to the way that work is supervised and signed off. | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
The whole industry has to look at the system and how we can manage | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
that better than we have, as is indicated at the moment. As repairs | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
continued today, councils were reminded of their duty to make sure | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
their buildings are safe. It's vital that parents have the confidence and | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
guarantee that buildings are safe and secure for their children, and | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
that's why the obligation must be taken very seriously by local | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
authorities, to ensure that buildings are properly constructed, | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
that they are certificated in terms of the design and structure that has | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
been undertaken, and that the safety of young people can be guaranteed as | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
been undertaken, and that the safety a consequence. | :03:46. | :03:46. | |
This is where is all started - but where does it finish? | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
82 of the 88 schools the buildings have been fixed. | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
However these problems may not just be confined to schools - | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
in fact, the way that all public buildings are bought | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
and built in Scotland is now the subject of review. | :03:58. | :04:06. | |
It has emerged that Gerry King, who has been chairman | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
of Celtic Boys Club, has been charged in connection with | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
Police Scotland confirmed that a 65-year-old man was charged | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
on the 15th February, and a report has been sent | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
Mr King, a teacher at Glasgow's St Martha's Primary School, | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
has been suspended from teaching duties by Glasgow City Council | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
pending the outcome of the police investigation. | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
It's understood the charges relate to alleged activities | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
There's a protest in Glasgow tonight against a UK-wide change to tax | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
credits that's become known as the "rape clause". | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
The First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has described | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
But the Scottish Conservative leader, Ruth Davidson, | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
has challenged the Scottish government to use its own welfare | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
powers if it wants to do things differently. | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
Here's our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell. | :04:56. | :05:04. | |
These protesters gathering in Glasgow are against the new policy | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
restricting child tax credit claims to the first two children, and they | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
are far from impressed by the exemption for women who conceive a | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
third or subsequent child as a result of sexual violence. In order | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
to claim for the third child that has been conceived through rape, a | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
woman has to fill this out and then she has to get a third party to sign | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
it to say, yes, she has been raped. This is an extreme measure that they | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
are expecting women to go to. I think it shows a complete lack of | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
understanding around rape, sexual assault and the impact it has on | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
women. The Department for Work and Pensions says that women who have | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
children through rape are specifically exempted from the two | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
child policy so that they don't lose out on benefits, and they say that | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
such cases will be handled with compassion. In America last week, | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
the First Minister said the policy mistreats rape survivors. They have | :06:08. | :06:08. | |
to prove, they have to prove that mistreats rape survivors. They have | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
the child was conceived as a result of rape. Oh, my God. Now, it is a | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
disgusting and disgraceful policy. On social Minister, the First | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
Minister said it was shameful that the Scottish Conservatives defended | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
the policy. Kezia Dugdale said it was terrible but Ruth Davidson | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
hadn't spoken out. They have housed in something they say they oppose | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
but they are choosing not to do it because they would rather take the | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
UK Government and change the system in Scotland, and I think the First | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
Minister choosing to do that and not putting forward proposals to changes | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
opens after allegations of hypocrisy. It is cruel and it | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
stigmatises not just the women but those children, too. The SNP say the | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
so-called great clause and to those children, too. The SNP say the | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
policy for tax credits should be scrapped across the UK. | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
Staff on Virgin Trains East Coast are to stage a 48-hour strike | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
in a row over the role of guards and jobs. | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
The RMT union announced the stoppage for the 28th and 29th of April. | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
John McManus is at Edinburgh Waverley Station | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
Cast your mind back to last summer, and Scotland's rail commuters were | :07:13. | :07:30. | |
subject to a series of strikes called by the RMT on ScotRail, which | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
was about the role of guards and, specifically, who opens and closes | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
the door on the train. This upcoming strike called by the RMT on Virgin | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
Trains east coast is about a similar issue. Virgin Trains say they have | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
recently restructured the roles of their on-board customer team and, as | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
a result, the train guard now also looks after other duties, for | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
example, managing the catering team. The RMT say that may be a slippery | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
slope towards guards losing their role of opening the doors, which | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
they say safety critical. The RMT is pursuing this with train companies | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
across the UK. Southern is one of them, in the Home Counties. They say | :08:12. | :08:12. | |
they are not backing down. The guard's role is safety critical. | :08:13. | :08:21. | |
He is there to do with any emergencies or collisions. You take | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
the guard away, then that leaves the driver, and it also ensures that | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
there is less anti-social behaviour on our trains if you actually have a | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
safety critical guard on the train. I spoke to Virgin Trains east coast | :08:34. | :08:43. | |
this afternoon. They say they have no intention of changing the role of | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
the guard with regard to operating the doors. They also say, with | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
regard to the strike at the end of April, they are expecting to run a | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
timetable as near as normal as possible. It's worth pointing out | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
that last summer's dispute between the RMT and ScotRail was resolved | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
when both sides compromised, deciding that the drivers would open | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
the train doors and the guards would close them. | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
NHS nurses across the UK are being asked today | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
if they want to take industrial action over pay. | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
It comes weeks after both the Scottish and UK | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
Governments announced a below-inflation pay rise. | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
The online poll will test the appetite for a strike among | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
members of the Royal College of Nursing, the UK's | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
Well, it appears to have been sparked after quite a few years of | :09:25. | :09:41. | |
frustration over pay rises for nurses below the rate of inflation, | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
and we should say that, unlike previous action like the junior | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
doctors strike in England, this will apply to nurses in Scotland. That's | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
because the Scottish Government has accepted, like the UK Government | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
has, the recommendations of the independent body that advises on | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
wages for the NHS, which is a 1% rise. The RCS union say that | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
accommodation pay freezes and caps mean that nurses have effectively | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
had a 14% pay cut since 2010, and that now some of them are struggling | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
to cope. Some nurses have had to take second | :10:14. | :10:22. | |
jobs. We sadly know that some nurses have had good food banks. We also | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
know that 700 nurses across the UK and onto our foundation for hardship | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
grants. -- have gone to. We know that nurses are affected by this | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
reduction in pay and are having to work harder and find other ways of | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
bringing their income in. I recognise that, with inflation | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
rising, there are concerns from the RCN. We would want to discuss | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
further with the RCN through partnership arrangements and we take | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
that forward. At the moment, we have a pay review body recommendation for | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
one year, 417-18, and we will continue to discuss with the RCN | :11:02. | :11:03. | |
one year, 417-18, and we will what we do beyond that. | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
The online poll is just to gauge members across the UK, their | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
reaction. It isn't official industrial action. More than 40,000 | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
are working in Scotland. They were asked for a view on whether or not | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
they support action short of a strike or full-blown strike action, | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
and the results of that will be known in May. Depending on what they | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
say, that could trigger a formal ballot on industrial action. | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
Around 200 jobs are expected to go at the Dounreay nuclear site | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
The company decommissioning the site says it expects most to be | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
Unions have expressed disappointment and say they believe | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
there is enough work to support all the existing jobs. | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
A sheriff said the court is going to write to the legal aid watchdog, | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
after she heard it had not yet approved a request to fund | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
the parents at an inquiry into the death of a schoolgirl. | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
Keane Wallis-Bennett, who was 12, died when a PE | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
block wall fell on her at Liberton High School in 2014. | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
No criminal charges will be brought, but there will be | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
You're watching BBC Reporting Scotland. | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
The BBC finds evidence that dozens more schools across the country have | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
As the Easter getaway begins, airports warn travellers to check | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
the rules on what they can take on the plane. | :12:32. | :12:41. | |
Robots and advanced computer systems are set to transform the way work | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
That's according to a report from Scottish Enterprise, | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
which says automation will bring big changes to all parts of Scotland's | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
Our business correspondent David Henderson has been to a dairy | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
farm that relies on robots to do much of the work. | :12:58. | :13:06. | |
This is a dairy farm with a difference. For hundreds of years, | :13:07. | :13:15. | |
farmers have been milking cows but, here, it's a robot which does that | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
job. It's helped the farm become more productive than many of its | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
rivals. The benefits for the cows are unbelievable, because they can | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
go on to the robots whenever they want. It's a stress-free atmosphere | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
for them. To be honest, if the cows are happy, get more milk. As the | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
cows eat, another robot gets to work, serving up the food like a | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
helpful way to. In the last 100 years, farming has been transformed | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
technology, whether its tractors or robots, like this thing. These days, | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
fewer people than ever work on farms, and yet they have never been | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
so productive. The robots will tell us how much milk has been produced | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
over the next day... Machines are changing the way that farmers work, | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
telling them what they need to know and taking over dull and difficult | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
tasks. The biggest benefit for us is being able to utilise the technical | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
skill of our staff to the greatest of their ability. The robots allow | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
us to deal with all of the repetitive jobs that can be | :14:22. | :14:30. | |
automated. A new report from Scottish Enterprise spells out how | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
almost every workplace in the country will face changes because of | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
clever machines, so where do people fit in? The opportunity, the big | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
prize is to help develop individuals, to redeploy people, to | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
get that higher value work and to harness machines and, if we can do | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
that, that will improve productivity throughout the economy. At Dundee | :14:52. | :15:00. | |
and Angus college, they are rising to that challenge. Students here | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
learned to control a new generation of machines, aerial drones. Digital | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
technology now is all around us. It touches every single sector that we | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
work in. Without preparing young people and older adult returners | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
with these skills, we won't have the workforce that we need going | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
forward. Without advanced robots, farms like this one would find it | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
much harder to operate, and today putt -- today's report makes it | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
clear that technology is creating putt -- today's report makes it | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
jobs where it didn't exist before, but few workplaces will remain | :15:40. | :15:40. | |
untouched in the years ahead. This weekend will be one | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
of the busiest of the year And staff at the busiest - | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
Edinburgh - are calling on travellers to pay more attention | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
to the rules and restrictions about what you can and can't | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
take through security. Every year they confiscate tens | :15:53. | :15:54. | |
of thousands of pounds From Edinburgh Airport, | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
here's Cameron Buttle. now. It is hard to believe people | :15:57. | :16:22. | |
can get it this wrong. It is a small part of a hall from Edinburgh | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
airport. Tens of thousands of pounds worth of alcohol over a year. It is | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
not just alcohol, it is certain types of equipment and toy guns, | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
which are also getting confiscated. Here to tell us more is the security | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
supervisor at Edinburgh airport. People seem to be getting it quite | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
badly wrong. People are still confused by the rules. The excessive | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
amount of alcohol comes through. People are not understanding they | :16:55. | :17:05. | |
can put it in now hold luggage. What about when you had to take this kind | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
of thing off? People are still confused. Especially someone from | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
the UK who should really know. It is hard to believe this kind of thing | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
cannot go on a plane. Anything that resembles a gun. On an x-ray, we | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
have to take it off. Thank you very much indeed. A very busy weekend at | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
Edinburgh airport. 76,000 people will be departing alone over the | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
Easter weekend. What happens to all of this stuff? In the past the guns | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
have been destroyed and this is poured down the drain. Thanks to | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
lobbying by staff, they have now been allowed to give this to a | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
charity of choice. after ignoring an order to make | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
an offer for the remaining shares King is deemed to have breached | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
Takeover Panel rules and was given until yesterday to bid for two | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
thirds of Rangers' shares. The businessman said such an offer | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
wasn't in the interest of either This all relates to purchases or | :18:03. | :18:18. | |
attempted purchases of Rangers shares towards the end of 2014. | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
Effectively resulting in the overthrowing of the previous board | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
and Rangers coming under the control of the current chairman, Dave King, | :18:27. | :18:35. | |
and like-minded fans and investors, including Douglas Park. Because they | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
acquire more than 30 descent of Rangers shares and the takeover | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
panel deemed them to be working as a concert party, King was told he | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
needed to make an offer to other shareholders of more than ?11 | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
million. After Anna failed -- after a failed appeals process he was | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
given to yesterday to do that. When that appeal failed he went to | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
Edinburgh to try to have the order enforced. What next? It is difficult | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
to predict exactly how the court might view this. Dave King has so | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
far argued any offer would not represent value for Manny for | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
shareholders as the 20p he would be offering is below the current value | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
of Rangers shares. Regardless of how the court looks at it, the takeover | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
panel has their own potential sanctions if it continues to refuse | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
to comply with the orders, the most serious of which is called financial | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
cold shouldering, which prevents city institutions dealing any | :19:39. | :19:40. | |
further. Ricky Burns can consolidate his | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
place as one of Scotland's best ever boxers, if he wins this weekend's | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
world title unification That's the view of former | :19:47. | :19:48. | |
world and commonwealth until after his bout on Saturday | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
night with the undefeated The end of a long, hard road. Hours | :19:52. | :20:22. | |
in the gym, doing a Muhammad Ali. Float like a butterfly and sting | :20:23. | :20:23. | |
like a bee. It is Ricky Burns's 34th birthday | :20:24. | :20:37. | |
today. Round of applause and happy birthday to him. Business for the | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
birthday boy this weekend. In my opinion, this is the biggest bite of | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
my career. I cannot wait. We have a tough fight on our hands. He will be | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
my career. I cannot wait. We have a a tricky opponent. We are confident | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
about getting the job done. There is always plenty of hyperbole around | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
these fights. I went to Edinburgh University for expert opinions on | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
Ricky Burns place in Scottish boxing history. He has to be considered one | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
of the greatest Scottish boxers of all times. Even his amateur | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
pedigree, you had a lengthy amateur career. Over 100 fights and the 40 | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
plus professional fights now and world titles in three different | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
weight divisions, you have to put him amongst the best. That means a | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
difficult night for this man. Julius Indongo has ever been beaten in his | :21:30. | :21:39. | |
21 fights. I believe Saturday night, I will show my talent. My talent | :21:40. | :21:47. | |
will prove them who I am. A win for Ricky Burns would add the IBF and | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
IDA world super lightweight titles to the WBO one he already owns. This | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
could create career defining contests to come. Time now for the | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
talking to stop. Work is done. Victory in Glasgow this weekend is | :22:07. | :22:07. | |
in his own hands. A ground-breaking art show, | :22:08. | :22:09. | |
which allows people to HEAR as well as SEE the works, | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
opens in Edinburgh this week. The Oregon Project is a series | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
of landscapes created by artist Our arts correspondent | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
Pauline McLean reports. And so the paintings in this gallery | :22:18. | :22:33. | |
are all based on little moments in our various Scottish mountains. | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
Gradually losing his side has made painting more challenging for keep | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
salmon that it has not stopped him. These landscapes are the result of | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
many trips into the Scottish mountains. He sketches what he can | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
see and completes the work in his studio. To years ago he took on a | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
new challenge, the Oregon Project offered a new landscape and the | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
chance to include sounds and sights. What we have done is try to create a | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
system where you can map colours to sounds and the tickly where you can | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
track where a person is relative to a piece of artwork and about that | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
into a sound representation of what they would see in front of them. | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
into a sound representation of what result is an interactive artwork is | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
accessible to everyone. From the birdsong to the wind in the grass | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
and even the sound of an artist at work. The closer you go, you start | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
to trigger sounds and you can hear the drawing sounds. We realise each | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
of the types of mark that I made made a different kind of sound. It | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
is an important breakthrough for artists and audiences. Maybe in a | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
few years' time when you go to the National Gallery in Edinburgh, you | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
might start to get back kind of experience. That would be great for | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
people who are cited but especially for people with low vision. You get | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
this interpretive, audio experience of the paintings on the wall which | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
so many struggle to actually see. Already, he is working on ways to | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
bring those layers of sound to his beloved Scottish landscapes. | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
Let's see how the weather is looking as the Easter weekend approaches. | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
Sunshine and showers sums it up. Thank you to one of our weather | :24:28. | :24:40. | |
watchers in the Highlands full sending in this stunning image of | :24:41. | :24:48. | |
threatening skies. This evening and tonight will bring a fair amount of | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
cloud over Western and southern Scotland, especially with further | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
showers and eventually longer spells of rain moving in through Argyll, | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
perhaps the Glasgow area. The clearest conditions will be across | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
much of eastern and northern eastern Scotland. We may see some grass | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
frost developing once again in shelter. For the most part | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
temperatures holding up around 3-7 C with light, moderate westerly winds. | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
Tomorrow dawns with a lot of cloud over central and southern Scotland | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
and further outbreaks of rain for a time. Through the day the rain will | :25:30. | :25:31. | |
gradually clear away to the south. Tomorrow afternoon, that leaves us | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
once again with a mixture of bright and sunny spells and showers. The | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
showers across the north-west Highlands, the Western Isles, the | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
far north and Northern isles especially will be frequent and | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
heavy tomorrow afternoon. It will feel chilly for most of us again. | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
Temperatures around ten, 11, with fresh, westerly winds. Tomorrow | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
evening the showers will continue with brightness or sunshine to end | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
the day. The showers perhaps Tanni wintry across the hills over the | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
Highlands into tomorrow night. Saturday, fresh to strong | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
north-westerly winds will feed showers into the North, especially | :26:14. | :26:15. | |
with brightness or sunshine in between. Much dry with longer spells | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
of sunshine further south and quite a war feel. On Easter Day, Easter | :26:21. | :26:28. | |
Sunday, some uncertainty. We may see wintry showers leading into the | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
North and we may see some rain in the West. That is the forecast. | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
