:00:00. > :00:14.Scotland's last major steelworks, the Dalzell Mill in Motherwell,

:00:15. > :00:18.has been officially re-opened by the First Minister.

:00:19. > :00:20.It closed down last year but - under new ownership -

:00:21. > :00:23.there are renewed hopes for its future.

:00:24. > :00:31.Our Business and Economy Editor, Douglas Fraser, reports.

:00:32. > :00:37.Scotland's steel town where the rolling slab again.

:00:38. > :00:40.A warm welcome today for the return of Dalzell's thunder.

:00:41. > :00:45.The deal was brokered by the Scottish Government.

:00:46. > :00:48.The significance of this for Scottish manufacturing industry,

:00:49. > :00:52.is really important and can't be overestimated.

:00:53. > :00:55.There are already 100 people back working here,

:00:56. > :00:58.and plans that Liberty have for the future will hopefully

:00:59. > :01:01.see that workforce doubled over the next 18 months,

:01:02. > :01:04.so this is not just hanging on to an old industry,

:01:05. > :01:07.this is about reimagining the steel industry for the future and giving

:01:08. > :01:13.These slabs have been made in England and Russia.

:01:14. > :01:16.They are destined for construction and offshore energy,

:01:17. > :01:22.but they could be used for much more.

:01:23. > :01:41.symbolic of the Lanarkshire steel-making past.

:01:42. > :01:43.The partner plant of Clydebridge has yet to be reopened.

:01:44. > :01:48.It depends on finding customers and at the right price.

:01:49. > :01:56.There is no light at the end of the tunnel for the steel industry.

:01:57. > :01:59.In the UK industry there is an opportunity to serve the needs

:02:00. > :02:03.Speaking of opportunity, that return of jobs to Dalzell

:02:04. > :02:04.was not expected by those recently laid off.

:02:05. > :02:08.You don't know if you're going to be kept on, and that's it.

:02:09. > :02:14.Luckily, I was one of the ones to be kept on.

:02:15. > :02:21.Just get on with it, see where it takes us.

:02:22. > :02:23.The nearby Ravenscraig site has little on it apart

:02:24. > :02:35.Where the next generation still looks to a future built on steel.

:02:36. > :02:37.I left Motherwell because there were no opportunities.

:02:38. > :02:39.Now they are bringing more back to this sort of area.

:02:40. > :02:43.The people in our generation, I think it would build up a lot more

:02:44. > :02:47.opportunity for new jobs and stuff and giving people more experience

:02:48. > :02:49.and stuff to get into different traits like the steelworks.

:02:50. > :02:52.Battered and hard-pressed, Lanarkshire itself has been

:02:53. > :03:00.For now, at least, a brighter future.

:03:01. > :03:02.The Scottish Government has been defeated at Holyrood in a row

:03:03. > :03:08.A Labour motion noting widespread concern about proposals to downgrade

:03:09. > :03:19.Earlier, I spoke to our Political Editor Brian Taylor.

:03:20. > :03:27.Nothing riles local communities more than the faintest hint to their

:03:28. > :03:33.hospital services. When communities get riled, politicians get worried.

:03:34. > :03:37.This is Labour gathering folk from various health services across

:03:38. > :03:40.Scotland concerned about the provision of those services.

:03:41. > :03:46.Gathering outside Parliament before taking it to a vote in the chamber

:03:47. > :03:52.this afternoon. Labour's 's strategy was to pull together a whole series

:03:53. > :03:56.of issues where services are being questioned and reviewed about

:03:57. > :04:00.possible revision and demanded that ministers called in all these

:04:01. > :04:06.decisions from the various health boards and demanded that they take

:04:07. > :04:14.them themselves. In fact, they said ministers should reject the changes

:04:15. > :04:18.outright. And the ministers have been defeated? The amendment

:04:19. > :04:22.defending the record has been defeated and the Labour motion went

:04:23. > :04:26.through. You could see the exasperation on the face of the

:04:27. > :04:32.Health Secretary. She accused Labour of trying to get around the due

:04:33. > :04:36.process whereby the county council is involved in these decisions. She

:04:37. > :04:43.will report back to Parliament on each of these. Will she speed them

:04:44. > :04:48.up? I don't think so. She will say that accelerating decisions on these

:04:49. > :04:53.would cut out people from the consultation. She will look at these

:04:54. > :04:58.proposals in detail and report back to Parliament. This is a reminder to

:04:59. > :05:01.the SNP that they are a minority here at Holyrood.

:05:02. > :05:04.Scotland's Chief Constable has revealed that new allegations have

:05:05. > :05:06.been raised about members of the controversial police

:05:07. > :05:11.The allegations, made in the past three months,

:05:12. > :05:13.are of attempting to pervert the course of justice

:05:14. > :05:17.Phil Gormley has told Holyrood's Justice Committee the allegations

:05:18. > :05:21.They arise from the investigation into the murder in 2005

:05:22. > :05:32.A container ship with four cadets

:05:33. > :05:35.from a Scottish college on board has finally docked in Singapore

:05:36. > :05:36.after being stranded at sea for a month.

:05:37. > :05:38.The trainees had been stuck on the vessel

:05:39. > :05:40.in the South China Sea since its owners

:05:41. > :05:54.The ship finally docked at eight club this morning and its cargo

:05:55. > :05:57.quickly off-loaded followed closely behind by the young cadets from

:05:58. > :06:05.Scotland who flew home after being caught up in this saga at sea. The

:06:06. > :06:08.day we heard this was all going on, it was very worrying. Especially for

:06:09. > :06:15.our families who didn't know anything even. The trainee officers

:06:16. > :06:21.had been studying at the city of Glasgow College and became stranded

:06:22. > :06:29.when ports around the world refused entry to any ships owned by the

:06:30. > :06:37.parent company which had collapsed. They faced sending the ship to

:06:38. > :06:42.Singapore and running out of food. We had nine days of food left and it

:06:43. > :06:53.is a six-day voyage from Sri Lankan to Singapore. A potential three day

:06:54. > :07:00.leeway that could have ended worse. We ran out of fresh fruit,

:07:01. > :07:06.vegetables, eggs, flour. We were already well into running out of

:07:07. > :07:08.things. The ordeal ended when the Singapore High Court granted the

:07:09. > :07:13.things. The ordeal ended when the South Korean shipping giant a

:07:14. > :07:19.temporary reprieve. Much to the relief of their families. Being

:07:20. > :07:27.their mother, you want to be able to protect and help them and being so

:07:28. > :07:37.far away you felt so useless. I waiting until I see him, but getting

:07:38. > :07:44.far away you felt so useless. I excited. After flying home to the

:07:45. > :07:47.Highlands, one of his priorities is getting a haircut.

:07:48. > :07:48.The UK Labour leader - Jeremy Corbyn -

:07:49. > :07:50.has used the closing address to his party's

:07:51. > :07:52.conference in Liverpool to put activists on an election footing.

:07:53. > :07:56.he didn't mention Scottish Labour's leader Kezia Dugdale.

:07:57. > :07:59.From Liverpool here's our political correspondent, David Porter.

:08:00. > :08:01.These four lads did not do at all badly from being

:08:02. > :08:05.Whether Labour like it or not, Jeremy Corbyn is very

:08:06. > :08:11.He is not looking for pop immortality, but supporters would be

:08:12. > :08:19.delighted if some of the Stardust rubbed off on him as well.

:08:20. > :08:22.We are the largest political party in Western Europe,

:08:23. > :08:25.with over 500,000 members, campaigning in every

:08:26. > :08:31.More people have joined our party in the last 20 months

:08:32. > :08:43.Few direct references to Scotland, and tellingly,

:08:44. > :08:51.Instead, a mention of Scotland's largest council.

:08:52. > :08:56.Glasgow has introduced flexible workplaces for start-up companies.

:08:57. > :09:00.It is a proud Labour record, and each and every Labour councillor

:09:01. > :09:03.deserves our heartfelt thanks for the work they do

:09:04. > :09:05.and the difficulties they endure in doing it.

:09:06. > :09:14.He put his party on an election footing, quoting Bill Shankly.

:09:15. > :09:16.The socialism I believe in is everybody working for the same

:09:17. > :09:30.goal and everyone having a share in the rewards.

:09:31. > :09:33.That is how I see football, and that is how I see life.

:09:34. > :09:36.A traditional end to the conference with a rendition of the red flag.

:09:37. > :09:38.As delegates leave Liverpool, they know that much still needs

:09:39. > :09:48.Football now and Celtic and Manchester City

:09:49. > :09:50.played out a six goal thriller at Parkhead tonight

:09:51. > :09:55.Celtic were keen make amends following their heavy defeat

:09:56. > :09:57.by Barcelona and set the tempo for the game.

:09:58. > :10:04.Our senior football reporter Chris McLaughlin has the details.

:10:05. > :10:12.A quite incredible night of Champions League football here at

:10:13. > :10:19.Celtic Park. A roller-coaster match in the rain and what a start for

:10:20. > :10:23.Celtic. Mousa Dembele with the opening after just three minutes. A

:10:24. > :10:30.touch of offside. Celtic Park erupted. The visitors levelled after

:10:31. > :10:40.ten minutes, Fernandinho with the finish. Celtic took the lead again.

:10:41. > :10:44.This time Tierney taking a big deflection. Again, Pep Guardiola's

:10:45. > :10:53.side fought back through Raheem Sterling. The start of the second

:10:54. > :11:03.half, Dembele made it 3-2. But like a true heavyweight match, city came

:11:04. > :11:05.slugging back and Nolito level. Celtic made amends for their 7-0

:11:06. > :11:11.defeat to Barcelona. Well, It's over to Christopher

:11:12. > :11:29.Blanchett now with the weather A stormy night and tomorrow morning.

:11:30. > :11:34.A yellow warning in force. This area of low pressure trundling around the

:11:35. > :11:38.north of the country bringing high winds and squally showers. The cold

:11:39. > :11:43.front slipping south of the border and moving through England

:11:44. > :11:50.overnight. For others, the wind is the story. By eight o'clock tomorrow

:11:51. > :11:58.morning, perhaps trying to ease back but still we can see we are likely

:11:59. > :12:03.to have some disruption, not only on the ferries but on the bridges as

:12:04. > :12:09.well. Potential for brunch is being brought down, debris on the road.

:12:10. > :12:19.Some big waves around the coasts. Potential over topping on the

:12:20. > :12:24.causeways. Blustery conditions. But come lunchtime that brief spell of

:12:25. > :12:31.stormy weather should be easing off. The weather warning disappearing

:12:32. > :12:36.around one o'clock in the afternoon. The weather front pulling away from

:12:37. > :12:39.the Kent coastline by afternoon. We will have showers by afternoon and

:12:40. > :12:48.the Kent coastline by afternoon. We into the evening. Some really potent

:12:49. > :12:53.ones in central areas. Friday, a little bit calmer. A few showers

:12:54. > :13:02.becoming increasingly confined to the west. Like tomorrow, a cooler,

:13:03. > :13:07.fresher feel. The weekend, Saturday brings showery outbreaks of rain.

:13:08. > :13:12.Further north, generally drier and brighter but Sunday is the pick of

:13:13. > :13:14.the two days. Decent spells of sunshine. To night and tomorrow,

:13:15. > :13:17.it's going to be windy. Our next update is during Breakfast

:13:18. > :13:24.at 6.25 tomorrow morning. here in Glasgow

:13:25. > :13:28.and around the country - goodnight.
