:01:25. > :01:26.the race of that calibre of finalists.

:01:27. > :01:29.It shows you the depth of belief we had in each other, and the boat.

:01:45. > :01:46.Decision vindicated to put you in this team?

:01:47. > :01:50.We had a lot of support, it's not like it was us

:02:27. > :02:42.A wonderful moment for Katherine Grainger. She took silver on the

:02:43. > :02:48.rowing lake. David Florence also on the water, could he go one better?

:02:49. > :02:54.Not quite, he took a Sablon medal with its partner Richard Hounslow.

:02:55. > :02:57.He was a satisfied man afterwards. Yes, it is very good. I would have

:02:58. > :03:03.loved it to have been a gold medal but it is such a tough spot, when it

:03:04. > :03:06.is when one that counts. For years, you see these other guys putting an

:03:07. > :03:10.fantastic bronze and one little mistake and it is all over. I had

:03:11. > :03:16.the same problem on my individual category. It is easy to look at how

:03:17. > :03:22.close you are to the gold but you are also close to being in fourth

:03:23. > :03:24.place or father down with that slightest of mistakes. Really

:03:25. > :03:30.pleased with my performance. Even better that we get to stand the

:03:31. > :03:37.podium. What a day Team GB Andy Scott is

:03:38. > :03:39.athletes are having. Two silvers for David Florence and Katherine

:03:40. > :03:46.Grainger. They are going for gold in the rugby sevens. Guaranteed silver.

:03:47. > :03:52.Guaranteed silver in the velodrome where Calum Skinner is doing the leg

:03:53. > :03:55.that was taken up previously by Sir Christopher Hawick. Guaranteed

:03:56. > :03:59.silver. Andy Murray had a bit of a skier but he is into the

:04:00. > :04:06.quarterfinals of the tennis. He is now playing mixed doubles in the

:04:07. > :04:10.tennis but Heather Watson. Very busy here at the moment, back to you! --

:04:11. > :04:16.with Heather Watson. Bad weather is hampering a salvage

:04:17. > :04:19.operation to refloat an oil rig that ran aground

:04:20. > :04:21.on the Western Isles on Sunday. Tens of thousands of litres

:04:22. > :04:24.of diesel fuel have leaked into the sea, but coastguards say

:04:25. > :04:27.they don't believe there's any major The Transocean Winner remained stuck

:04:28. > :04:33.on the rocks on Dalmore beach as efforts to winch a salvage team

:04:34. > :04:36.on board had to be abandoned again Diesel oil from two of its tanks has

:04:37. > :04:41.leaked into the sea but coastguard officials are confident there has

:04:42. > :04:43.been no major threat They say inspecting the damaged

:04:44. > :04:47.structure is now their priority. We have to continue

:04:48. > :04:48.with the assessments. We know there is a lot of damage

:04:49. > :04:51.to the water ballast systems and they would probably be

:04:52. > :04:53.fundamental to the We don't want to refloat

:04:54. > :04:57.into deeper water and get But with high winds on the way,

:04:58. > :05:01.the race is on to save the 17,000-tonne structure,

:05:02. > :05:03.which grounded here in bad weather on Monday, from being savaged

:05:04. > :05:06.by mother nature for a second time. The main concern being that some

:05:07. > :05:11.damage will be caused to the legs. If that happened, it could topple

:05:12. > :05:13.over and we could see a situation whereby it

:05:14. > :05:27.would have to be broken up. Local people remain bewildered

:05:28. > :05:33.by the presence of the huge rig, but some wonder if it

:05:34. > :05:36.will be dismantled in situ Just cut it on-site,

:05:37. > :05:54.that would take work for all these There is some speculation

:05:55. > :05:58.that the rig could be refloated on the next high tide,

:05:59. > :06:00.due in one week's time. But salvage experts have warned

:06:01. > :06:07.that this unwelcome visitor is likely to occupy Dalmore beach

:06:08. > :06:13.for a lot longer than that. Dozens of operations

:06:14. > :06:14.have been postponed at the Royal Alexandra Hospital

:06:15. > :06:16.in Paisley because of Staff are using bottled water

:06:17. > :06:19.for activities, including cleaning, A series of strikes,

:06:20. > :06:23.affecting hundreds of oil workers of a number of Shell platforms

:06:24. > :06:25.has been suspended. The 24-hour stoppages were due

:06:26. > :06:28.to begin on Monday in a dispute between the RMT and Unite unions

:06:29. > :06:31.and oil services firm Wood Group The RMT says fresh talks are now due

:06:32. > :06:38.to take place next week. Well, it's over to Judith Ralston

:06:39. > :06:53.now with the weather outlook Father had breaks of thing to come

:06:54. > :06:58.tonight. A very humid fuel as well. We start off largely dry. Fairly

:06:59. > :07:03.cloudy. Mr Hunter LOCOG affecting Western and coastal areas. There is

:07:04. > :07:07.some mist for the Northern Isles. We have a Met Office you will be aware

:07:08. > :07:11.warning for that persistent rain for the West Highlands blasting through

:07:12. > :07:15.the day tomorrow. As he progressed through the day, we will start to

:07:16. > :07:21.see that rain easing southwards into the Glasgow area, across South West

:07:22. > :07:23.Scotland. The East coast generally and the North East stays

:07:24. > :07:27.predominantly dry, even some brightness coming through and it

:07:28. > :07:30.becomes dry for the Northern Isles and Caithness should see some

:07:31. > :07:36.brightness. Starts to become drier across the Western Isles as well. It

:07:37. > :07:40.will feel quite humid, 16, 17 Celsius. In the East he could see

:07:41. > :07:44.highs of 20 degrees. Quite breezy as well but strong winds along the West

:07:45. > :07:48.coast. As we head towards the weekend, the winds move to the West

:07:49. > :07:51.bringing showers. High pressure builds nicely, settling things down

:07:52. > :07:53.with the lot of dry weather certainly for Sunday.

:07:54. > :07:57.Our next update is during Breakfast at 6:25 tomorrow morning.
