Nicola Sturgeon has told BBC Scotland it would be "outrageous" | :00:47. | :01:12. | |
if the Conservatives attempted to block a further referendum | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
on independence once the details of Brexit are known. | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
Ms Sturgeon was speaking after she launched her party's | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
manifesto in Perth with pledges to tackle poverty and boost | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
The launch was postponed from last week in the aftermath | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
This from our political editor Brian Taylor. | :01:30. | :01:39. | |
Welcome to the manifesto launch of the real opposition. Angus Robertson | :01:40. | :01:51. | |
set the tone before the main event. Nicola Sturgeon. Cheering and | :01:52. | :02:02. | |
applause. And the Internet, perhaps a little bit too much for some. | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
Nicola Sturgeon has three key aims, to gain a place of the Brexit | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
negotiation, hold an independence referendum... With their true | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
colours being exposed in this campaign, we have a real chance to | :02:20. | :02:27. | |
keep them in check. But how? The SNP cannot form the UK Government but | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
Nicola Sturgeon say SNP MPs have a proud record of taking on the | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
Tories. Moving ahead she told activists, the party would tackle | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
poverty through a ?10 an hour minimum wage and thwarting benefit | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
cuts. The SNP has called to stand up for Scottish interests. They back | :02:48. | :02:56. | |
100 next Dean -- back an extra ?118 billion and they were funded by | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
prolonging borrowing beyond conservative levels. They back a 50p | :03:00. | :03:09. | |
top tax rate as the UK as a whole. In Scotland, tax payers might be | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
able to avoid it, thus cutting the Scottish budget and they back full | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
control of welfare to be devolved to Holyrood. They say they are opposed | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
to what they regard as unfair Tory benefit cuts. For older people, that | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
means fighting against Conservative plans which means conservative | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
constraint and pension pledges. The Tory manifesto is nothing short of | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
an assault on pensioners, from the dementia attacks to the removal of | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
the winter fuel allowance and the ending of the triple lock. The SNP | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
once an extra ?11 billion spent in England matching the Scottish | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
budget. Scotland will get a share of the cash and they dropped the 1% pay | :03:53. | :04:01. | |
cap for nurses while still insisting on an affordable deal. Nicola | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
Sturgeon controls devolved services and she backs higher allowances the | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
company investment and reduce national insurance for firms taking | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
on new employees. How about independence? Nicola Sturgeon once a | :04:16. | :04:23. | |
second referendum on the details of Brexit are known. What if the Tories | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
keep saying no? Having won the election last year and got a vote in | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
the Scottish Parliament for the Tories to stand in the wake of | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
democracy. That is what they're doing, standing in the way | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
democracy. Straight to head out to canvass votes and with just over a | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
week to go, there is no time to waste. | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
The other parties have been focussing their attention | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
on the SNP's plans for a second independence referendum. | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
But there's continuing confusion on Labour's position. | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
Labour's UK leader, Jeremy Corbyn again said he would allow one to be | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
held if the Scottish Parliament and the Scottish people wanted it. | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
His comments appear to put him at odds with Labour's Scottish | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
leader, Kezia Dugdale who last week offered a "cast iron" guarantee that | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
Labour would oppose a second independence referendum. | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
Two leaders of the same party, both of them concentrating on family | :05:09. | :05:24. | |
friendly policies. But do they see eye to eye on the SNP's call for a | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
second independence referendum? If the Scottish Parliament and the | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
Scottish people want a referendum, they have a right, that was the | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
whole point of the devolution agreements in the 1990s. I think any | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
referendum should take place, if there is to be wrong, after the | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
Brexit negotiations. But the Labour manifesto opposes a second | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
referendum. But the Labour leader says they are on the same page. | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
Jeremy Corbyn has been 100% clear, a second referendum is unnecessary and | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
not wanted. If there is a perception that Labour is sending mixed | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
messages, that is something that opponents can only raise a glass to. | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
I think Jeremy Corbyn has sold the jersey and independence. He says he | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
wants discussions with the SNP about allowing a second referendum. He | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
said it was fine if Scotland wanted one. The majority of Scots don't | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
want it. The Scottish people will stand against Nicola Sturgeon and we | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
can send Nicola Sturgeon a message, that Scotland doesn't want | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
independent referendum number two. The Prime Minister insists now is | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
not the time. The Scottish Liberal Democrat leader campaigning today | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
wants voters to get behind his team and accuse the SNP of using the same | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
old tactics. The SNP must think we are stupid. They hardly mentioned | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
independence at all, but we know as soon as the election is over, that | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
is all they will bang on about for the next few years. They did that | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
after the last election and the one before that as well. It is because | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
they always put independence first rather than sorting out issues like | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
the education system and mental health. There is still eight days of | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
this competition to go before voters decide which political direction | :07:28. | :07:28. | |
they will take. And our political editor | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
Brian Taylor is in It's being argued the SNP manifesto | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
says little about a second Nicola Sturgeon argues these | :07:34. | :07:52. | |
elections are not in themselves and mandate for a referendum. They are | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
not in themselves determining whether Scotland is independent. | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
There is a phrase in the Catalan language which means little I | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
little. A little bit of that is happening here. Nicola Sturgeon says | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
the elections to the Scottish Parliament down the hill, that will | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
stage one of there being a mandate for a second independence | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
referendum. Then the parliament itself, the Scottish Parliament | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
voted for such a referendum. She says that is stage two. She says if | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
the SNP in the UK elections in Scotland, that would be a triple | :08:28. | :08:35. | |
lock upon the idea of there being a referendum. What about Labour's | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
increasing confusion over this second referendum? Jeremy Corbyn | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
seems to be torn over respect for what you might see as devolved | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
democracy and respect for his own party's stance. He says if the | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
Scottish Parliament wants it, then it has to be looked. It neglects two | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
things. The constitution is reserved to Westminster, it is in Westminster | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
's hands. Second, it neglects the line his party in Scotland has been | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
taking again and again with increasing stridency and | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
increasingly adamant fashion. Each time he appears to open the door, | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
they say no. They are against a referendum and against independence. | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
A famous leader once said, period of silence from you would be welcome. | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
One or two spin doctors must be wishing the Saints tonight from | :09:38. | :09:38. | |
their own leader. Thousands of women who work | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
for Scotland's largest council have secured an equal pay | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
victory in court. The Court of Session has ruled that | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
they've been excluded Our reporter Rebecca Curran | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
is outside Glasgow council tonight. Well it has taken ten years of legal | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
wrangling to get to this point. This case affects around | :09:56. | :10:03. | |
6,000 female workers at Glasgow City Council, | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
with many claims The women concerned worked in front | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
line services, mainly as cleaners, To put it simply, they were being | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
paid less than male colleagues. Now today's ruling is very complex | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
but it focuses on the introduction of a payment protection scheme | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
which it has now been ruled It remains unclear what the scale | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
of the pay-outs might be. But the GMB Union say it could run | :10:28. | :10:38. | |
in to tens of millions of pounds. This is going to run into tens of | :10:39. | :10:49. | |
millions of pounds. Upper estimate, 100 million, somewhere in the | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
middle, ?50 million will be paid out to women across Glasgow. But we're | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
not there yet. The women will have to wait some time to get this money | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
and of course, tragically, a number of women since we started these | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
cases because of the messing about by Glasgow City Council, women have | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
died before they have got equal pay justice. But for those who are still | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
here, they will get substantial pay-out. | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
Did you SNP administration here at Glasgow City Council made an | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
election manifesto promise to resolve all outstanding equal pay | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
claims. The night, the new City Council leader, she released a | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
statement saying the right thing to do now is for the council to have | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
opened discussions with workers and their representatives. She said she | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
hopes there will be goodwill on both sides. Union said those discussions | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
will have to take place on a case-by-case basis, but save the end | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
is in sight for thousands of women affected by this across Glasgow. | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
Rebecca, thank you. There's a call for the Government | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
to sack the chair of the Scottish Police Authority | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
if he won't resign. A committe of MSPs says Andrew | :12:06. | :12:07. | |
Flanagan's position is untenable. Concerns have been raised | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
about poor governance and a lack of transparency | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
at the police watchdog. Mr Flanagan insists he has | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
overseen improvements. Meanwhile the Justice Secretary said | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
he would make the government's position clear once he had | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
considered committee reports. Andrew Flanagan has lost the | :12:18. | :12:29. | |
confidence of MSPs from all parties, including the government | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
backbenches. It is clear his position is untenable. It seems | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
Andrew Flanagan and the Justice Secretary are the last two people to | :12:38. | :12:38. | |
see that. The number of sex crimes recorded | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
by Police Scotland has gone up, They're at a record | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
high of almost 11,000. Our Home Affairs Correspondent | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
Reevel Alderson is here On the face of it, | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
it's straight forward. Sexual crimes have risen | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
to a record level. But when you examine | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
the figures closely, they reveal a picture | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
which is far from simple. Crime figures for the year | :12:57. | :12:58. | |
to the end of last March are being presented to next week's | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
meeting of the Scottish The headline is that there | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
were almost 11,000 sex crimes recorded, the highest level | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
since Police Scotland Looking at rape, there | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
were 1755, that's up 2.3%. But more than 40% of these, 728, | :13:09. | :13:17. | |
were non-recent, a jump of 8.4%. Recently-committed rapes | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
were actually slightly down. Campaigners such as Rape Crisis | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
Scotland say this continuing rise in historical reporting reflects | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
improved confidence among victims It has taken a huge amount of work | :13:33. | :13:48. | |
to improve responses to rape and make sure people have confidence in | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
reporting this crime. What we are seeing this is an increase because | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
people coming forward and reporting something that happened ten, 20 | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
years ago. They didn't want to report it at that time, and now they | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
know the police will take them seriously. That is to be welcomed. | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
sexual abuse in football, Operation Veritat, has led to 200 | :14:09. | :14:24. | |
and 19 crimes being recorded, dating from the 1960s to last year. | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
Nine people have so far been referred to the Procurator Fiscal. | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
The police report to the SPA also says there's been an "exponential | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
rise" in cyber-related sexual crime, an increase in rape reports | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
where victims aged 16 to 24 met the suspect online, | :14:36. | :14:37. | |
and more than 2000 sex offences classed as non-contact. | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
Many of these relate to indecent communications by mobile phone, | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
so-called sexting, or online offences in which victims | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
have been forced to look at a sex act or image. | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
Nicola Sturgeon launches the SNP manifesto with a promise | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
for an independence referendum at the end of the Brexit process. | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
We catch up the boxer who had a quarter of his skull removed | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
after a bleeding on the brain during a fight. | :15:07. | :15:14. | |
Scotland's sole Labour MP knows the importance of retaining his seat | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
if his party is to gain ground on the Conservatives at Westminster. | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
Ian Murray bucked the trend north of the border in 2015 | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
But the Nationalists are viewing it as a winnable constituency. | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
Edinburgh South is a largely suburban seat. There are grand | :15:32. | :15:43. | |
mansions a sign of wealth and prosperity, but also pockets of | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
poverty, too. There's a large international community, many | :15:49. | :15:50. | |
academics and students live and work here as well. Labour's represented | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
this area since 1987, before then it was a Tory seat. The SNP and Lib | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
Dems have had MSPs here in the past. What issues matter to voters in this | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
part of town? The people that fall between the gaps and the policy and | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
provisions. Ied aide love to see them cared for. Immigration and | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
workers rights, I'd say. Climate change is the thing that most | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
bothers me. Move south to another view, Labour's defending a majority | :16:19. | :16:29. | |
of over 2,500, the SNP were second, Conservatives third. Who is telling | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
the truth? I don't know snoochl I haven't heard many people talking | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
about it around here. It doesn't make any difference, to me anyway. | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
So I'll not be voting. You don't know who to trust. It's a guessing | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
game, really. Tactical voting could make a big difference here again. | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
Will pro-union voters lend their support to Labour or split the vote. | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
As well as the support that Ian Murray had a big factor was tactical | :16:56. | :17:02. | |
voting by Conservative and Liberal Democrat Liberal Democrat supporters | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
who wanted to stop the SNP. While voters are disenchanted others are | :17:08. | :17:08. | |
keen to have their say. There are four candidates | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
in the Edinburgh South constituency. You can get more information | :17:16. | :17:17. | |
on the BBC Scotland news website. Hundreds of people who grew | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
up in 1950s Scotland could hold the key to a deeper | :17:21. | :17:22. | |
understanding of depression. More than 600 volunteers | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
in Aberdeen and Dundee have already been recruited - | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
many are part of a cohort who took part in a study in 1962 | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
led by the University of Aberdeen. NEWS REEL: | :17:34. | :17:46. | |
Some children lose their dignity and have to be reminded of it. Post-war | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
Aberdeen. An era where growing up seemed simpler. It was part of the | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
most comprehensive health research projects in Scotland. More than half | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
a century later the class of 50 to 56 are back again to unlock the | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
secrets of depression. For some volunteers the answers could be | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
close to home. The brain is a fascinating organ I suppose it would | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
be interested to find out if there are reasons why I behave in certain | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
ways or if I react in certain ways or why things affect me the way they | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
affect me and maybe don't affect other people. Some participants were | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
unaware initially of what they were part of. I do remember being at | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
primary school and given a jotter with tests in it. At that time I | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
didn't realise it was the start of a long association with the study, but | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
I now know the importance of the study and I think it's fantastic. | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
These volunteers and their families provide researchers with a unique | :18:48. | :18:54. | |
resource. We know that in some cases depression runs in families and so | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
you can have multiple generations of the same family affected. This | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
research will give us information both about why some people are | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
vulnerable, because of their genetic makeup or other risks factors they | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
have been exposed to during their life. What we are also interested in | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
is why some people exposed to those risks factors don't get depression. | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
What make up that resilience could help with treatments to one of | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
society's most destructive disorders. | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
Andy Murray is through to the second round of the French Open tennis. | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
The World Number One beating Andrey Kuznetzov by 3-1. | :19:40. | :19:41. | |
The Russian is ranked 72 places lower than Murray. | :19:42. | :19:43. | |
As our tennis reporter Kheredine Idessane explains, | :19:44. | :19:45. | |
the win may dispel some fears about the top seed's | :19:46. | :19:47. | |
As the troubled tournament top seed warmed up, several questions came to | :19:48. | :19:55. | |
end - had the coach been able to work his magic? Would he he cope | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
with any early setbacks like break points in the first game? Would he | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
be able to take any chances that came his way? Andy Murray had all | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
the answers, steadying any nerves as he took the first set, 6-4. After a | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
poor 2017 by his standards, some of the old Murray magic began to | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
reapair on the clay. His opponent, Andrey Kuznetzov had a few tricks of | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
his own. No great surprise then when the Russian levelled at 1-1. As | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
potential turning points go, they don't come more spectacular than | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
this. COMMENTATOR: What a get. With shots | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
like this, Andy Murray was back in charge needing one more set for a | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
place in the second round. The victory was achieved in some style | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
in the end. Kuznetzov crumbled, the World Number One reeled off the last | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
eight games in a row. A promising start to this French Open for Andy | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
Murray through to the next round with a lot less fuss than his next | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
opened. The Frenchman refused to shake his hand after are their five | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
set marathon. It will be more sporting against Andy Murray on | :21:14. | :21:14. | |
Thursday. A boxer who had a chunk of his skull | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
removed after a brain injury during a fight has told BBC Scotland | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
he's been thinking about getting Daniel Flaherty, from Stirling, | :21:23. | :21:24. | |
has been recovering since He's been talking to our | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
reporter, Chris McLaughlin. A young man looking through a very | :21:29. | :21:42. | |
different kind of photo album. No holiday snaps here, this documents a | :21:43. | :21:51. | |
fight for survival. I was boxing at the Scottish Championships in | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
Motherwell, I got to the final, and then I suffered a bleed to the brain | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
shortly after my last fight. What fold was weeks in hospital. He also | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
had a quarter of his skull removed. Now thoughts of a return to coaching | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
have been on his mind, but... The tiredness that comes on sometimes, I | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
don't think he could go out three times a week and help, like, doing | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
coaching and that kind of thing. It would have been good for him, but I | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
don't think, for his personal point of view, he could do it. Daniel says | :22:27. | :22:33. | |
he's taken comfort from regular contact with the man he fought. He | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
messaged me in hospital. He was asking me how I was. How I | :22:41. | :22:50. | |
was getting on. Then I got back to him. He stopped boxing? He's | :22:51. | :23:00. | |
stopped. Aye, he says he's stopped. I think he had one or two, that was | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
it. His recovery has been aided by a titanium plate where part of his | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
skull used to be. He's philosophical about what happened. I never thought | :23:10. | :23:19. | |
it would ever happen. It did, so it's all about dealing with it. | :23:20. | :23:24. | |

Let's get the weather from Christopher. | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
Nice day on the way tomorrow. Thank you, good evening. A bright and | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
breezy end to the day for many of us. If you were caught in the rain | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
earlier, the satellite and radar picture showing the weather front | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
moving eastwards. Sunshine behind it, a few rumbles of thunder to the | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
north-east as it cleared. One of our weather watchers captured this | :24:08. | :24:09. | |
impressive downpour as it moved through. This evening then plenty of | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
sunshine across the country before dark overnight largely dry. The rain | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
confined to Shetland and the winds easing down as well. Temperatures in | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
towns and cities seven to nine Celsius in the countryside. A shade | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
cooler than that. To tomorrow, a dry start and a dry day. A fine day, | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
plenty of sunshine around. High cloud later on and fair weather | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
cloud, but with light winds from the south really quite pleasant. By mid | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
afternoon temperatures around 17-19 Celsius widely. Perhaps 20 degrees | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
for the Borders and the capital up towards Tayside at times, too. | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
Around the coasts cooler, but with light winds it should feel pleasant | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
at times. After a few spots of rain to start the day in Shetland, | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
sunshine for you later. The rest of the afternoon and the evening the | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
winds will strengthen around the south-west. High cloud will spoil | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
the sunshine before dusk. Tomorrow's weather is due to high pressure. | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
Come Thursday it is booted out of the thanks to this weather front. It | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
will be a slow process. To start Thursday it will be dry once again. | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
Sunshine to the east. The cloud will build and the rain will rise. As I | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
say, it's slow. Watch the rain, watch the clock. Reaching around the | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
spine of the country by mid afternoon. Ahead of it, generally | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
dry for eastern areas with temperatures up to 20 Celsius, | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
cooler where we have the rain and strengthening wind. Looking ahead to | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
Friday, and indeed Friday and the weekend, in between two weather | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
systems, a spell of rain on Friday and for both Saturday and Sunday | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
sunshine and also some showers. Temperatures by mid afternoon into | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
the high teens. That's the forecast for now. Thank you, Christopher. | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
Steven Jardine is back tonight with Election Reporting Scotland | :25:58. | :26:01. |
