from bad to worse. We'll be speaking to the party chairman. What does he

The Scottish nurse Pauline Cafferkey, who contracted the ebola

virus in West Africa, is back in hospital in Glasgow.

She was taken from her home in Cambuslang by ambulance,

with a police escort earlier today, after becoming ill.

Doctors say Miss Cafferkey has tested negative for Ebola

Our reporter Aileen Clarke has been following the day's events.

It's just three weeks since Pauline Cafferkey emerged

from a hearing in Edinburgh cleared to go back to nursing.

This process has been upsetting and stressful for Pauline but she's

delighted that the panel is made the decision that she

As she left that day, she must have been looking forward

to continuing with her nursing career but this morning

she was taken from her home in Cambuslang by ambulance

under police escort by hospital in Glasgow.

Neighbours expressed concern and hope for

She was making progress, out and about and going to work.

She's come through so much and, each time she gets out,

she thinks she's on the road to recovery and then

Unfortunately she contracted the disease

We thought she had turned the corner last time and was OK.

Pauline Cafferkey contracted Ebola after going out to nurse patients

in the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone.

On her return home, she became critically ill and complex

arrangements were put in place to transport her to a specialist

unit in London, where she stayed for a month.

Last October, the virus re-emerged causing meningitis and she was

In February this year, another complication,

another readmission to the specialist unit.

In September, the hearing into what she had told health

officials when she arrived back in the UK from Sierra Leone

This morning, she was taken back to hospital as a patient.

She spoke a year ago about how she didn't really know how herself

It's taken me a good few months to recover.

Hopefully this is the end of it, but you just don't know.

The health board said they are pleased to report Pauline Cafferkey

tested negative for the Ebola virus. She remains in hospital tonight in a

stable condition but the health board said because of her medical

history, it was appropriate precautionary measures were taken

whilst further investigations were carried out.

The Scottish government is banning the controversial practice

The technique involves burning difficult to mine

coal under the ground, and capturing the gas it gives off,

Environmental campaigners are against the practice

but the Conservatives argue it has the potential to boost the economy.

Here's our Environment correspondent, Kevin Keane.

It lies deep beneath the rippling waves and is causing alarm to

communities along its banks but today the monster was silenced.

That monster is coal, and this campaign has fought hard

for a ban on the controversial technique to turn it into energy.

Nobody knows what's above it and nobody can convince us how

they are going to prevent any of it, the gas leaching into old mine

The technique involves drilling to the coal seam and getting oxygen.

That causes gas to rise back to the surface where it is captured.

The amount mined here at the coal face was only the most

accessible, just a small proportion of what exists.

Little now remains here of the industry that these

They once supported tens of thousands of jobs,

and some have predicted that gasification would prompt

The techniques might be different to fracking but the protests covered

them all and today ministers confirmed what was a first victory

It doesn't come at any price and we have to take a balanced,

proportion of view, listening to the scientific evidence

Underground coal gasification is very different to fracking.

Last week, the first imported shipment shale gas

The Scottish Conservatives say these technologies have

This ban is nothing short of environmental nimbyism.

It's clear that the SNP is happy to allow shale gas to be

imported from Pennsylvania and America and today,

when asked, there was no ban on importing any

For now, one controversial technology is dead in the water

but the bigger battle against fracking here

A new report has warned that Scotland could lose between thirty

thousand and eighty thousand jobs, as a consequence of leaving

The report - from the Fraser of Allander Institute -

suggests the relative impact on the rest of the UK

The issue dominated questions to the First Minister,

Here's our political editor Brian Taylor.

Scotland trades with the European Union, and that's

potentially affected by Brexit, especially if tariffs replace free

The report commissioned by Holyrood puts

It tracks the extent to which Scotland disengages

Under the best scenario, the economy would shrink by at least 2%,

Under the worst scenario, the economy would contract by 5%,

The report says that Brexit may have a worse impact

than on the remainder of the UK because Scotland is less exposed.

It insulates Scotland slightly from the shock of Brexit.

It isn't surprising when you think of the trade composition

of the Scottish economy and the UK economy.

Nicola Sturgeon said the report underlined the need to minimise any

disruption caused by Brexit but she was challenged

by Ruth Davidson of the Tories to say what she would do.

My position is to face up to the realities ahead of us,

to mitigate risks and take advantage of opportunities,

and this Parliament now faces a choice about whether to put

the lions share of its efforts into examining practical

solutions or simply complaining about the results.

Ms Sturgeon said the Tories brought about Brexit.

Unlike Miss Davidson, my position hasn't changed.

I continue to think that Brexit is a bad idea and I continue

to think it's my responsibility to protect Scotland from it.

These foreign workers are our neighbours,

-- the idea of an audit of foreign workers.

The First Minister offered a suggestion.

To call on the UK Government to stop using human beings as bargaining

chips and give them the guaranteed right to stay where they belong,

Supporters of Brexit said it would open opportunities

The report authors concede circumstances may change

with passage of time and under political direction but,

as of today, the Scottish take on Brexit is wholly negative.

The Auditor General is warning that two Scottish health boards

are facing prolonged and serious financial challenges.

NHS Tayside needs to make savings of one hundred and seventy

five million pounds over the next five years, while the bill

for NHS-24's new IT system has soared by seventy five per cent.

The financial watchdog said the difficulties faced by the boards

would "continue to have an impact on the way they operate

Now feeding people is an important part of the Sikh religion,

and every temple offers free food to anyone who goes there.

This week, Sikhs across the world are taking this principle a step

further, by serving free food - known as lungar - on the streets

They hope to target those in need, and to promote peace....

These women in Edinburgh meet every week to prepare food for anyone

who comes to the temple, regardless of faith or background.

And, for the past two years, they have been making extra portions

on Wednesday to take onto the streets of the capital.

We make a curry with potatoes and rice.

We also give hot tea, coffee, hot chocolate, sweets, biscuits.

The stall is set up in the centre of Edinburgh for anyone

In this Langar Week, the scene is being repeated in many countries.

Some people are busy and we thought we would do Langar Week every year.

We are here to help anyone in anyway.

The smell and taste of the curry cheering up an autumn evening.

Many people seek Langar as a welcome service.

If it was not for themselves, the homeless would be hungry

Even after Langar Week the Sikhs in Edinburgh are hoping to increase

the amount of free street food they provide.

Time now for the latest weather forecast, with Kawser.

Good evening, a fine evening so far and overnight tonight we will see

more cloud increasing but staying largely dry the many of us. The risk

perhaps of a few showers developing across the southern borders on the

South easterly wind drawing in cloud and showers on the coast. For most

of the country, dry with clear spells and clear spells across the

North West with temperatures dipping to four or 5 degrees with patchy fog

on the great Glen area and inland. Tomorrow morning, a fair bit of

cloud around, showers and die away, more sunny spells developing so 8am,

the risk of showers across parts of the West Coast but in the north a

good deal of sunshine to start the day, a chilly start and some

sunshine for the Northern Isles. Still breezy Orkney. A wider look,

much more cloud tomorrow across England and Wales and Northern

Ireland, the risk of showers as the wind becomes more easterly. Across

the North East the best of the sunshine and temperatures reaching

up to 16 Celsius. We still have high pressure across Scandinavia bringing

settled fine conditions and keeping these were the sisters at bay but

the wind direction becomes more easterly with a fresher feel looking

ahead to the end of the week and towards the weekend. For the

weekend, sunny spells, the risk of a few showers mainly towards eastern

areas and feeling cooler with temperatures down to average for the

time of year. Saturday, the best of any sunshine in the west, more cloud

in the east and showers will be fairly isolated and well scattered

and light with sunny spells between and temperatures around 13 or 14

Celsius. The wind is like inland, fresher on the coast. A similar day

on Sunday. Our next update is during Breakfast

at six twenty five tomorrow morning. But, from everyone on the late

team here in Glasgow and around the country -

goodnight.
