Here on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.

The Scottish Government throws its weight behind

It described the third runway at Heathrow as the best for Scotland.

It is expected decision by the UK Government will be made this month.

They may be over 400 miles away, but the future of Heathrow and Gatwick

Airport does matter to the Scottish economy. Today, the Scottish

Government said they would back Heathrow, as they secured a deal to

secure jobs and growth here. Increased flights, more regular,

easier to get to London. He is London and the rest of the world to

get us. Of course, we want additional direct flights Scotland,

but people are interested in connectivity. The Scottish

Government and Heathrow have signed a memorandum of understanding. This

includes... But over several decades. And ?200 million of

construction related work. Prestwick airport is helping to increase its

role as a cargo hub. That means shipping components and machines

made by Scottish companies down to London. Aberdeen and Inverness also

want better access to Heathrow for worldwide flights. We're hoping to

have access ability for the regions, regions like ours will be competing

for additional slots at a reduced rate, which is what Heathrow have

undertaken to do. For us today, we have a single flight to and from

Heathrow. I'm hopeful that providing Heathrow gets the go-ahead, we could

be up to perhaps two flight stray within as many years. But everyone

is happy. Rival Gatwick and its sister business say the deal will

make passengers more reliant on London. It has been put off long

enough. Whatever the decision is, whether Heathrow or Gatwick, we need

to make sure that Scotland has the connectivity and flights and

services into those airports to allow our residents to benefit from

the investment and expansion. Other campaigners are sceptical about the

boost to business. And fear the cost to the environment. I think there is

a great overestimate of the number of jobs and economic benefit of

airport expansion, and completely ignoring the climate change impacts.

The Scottish Government have decided what they think is the best plan for

this country. A decision is expected in around ten days.

The time for Brexit is unclear, but the city of Glasgow has commissioned

a report highlighting the challenges and opportunities of Brexit. It also

has a wish list for politicians. The UK as a whole has decided to get out

of the European Union. That was the result. Do we know yet what it

means? This morning, Glasgow's City Council published a report on the

challenges and opportunities facing the city after Brexit. The most

important success is the potential loss of EU funds, totalling ?780

million, which pay for training, development and social funds. They

want a guaranteed by Westminster and Holyrood, but is that likely at a

time of political uncertainty? Let us not nasal gave about

constitutional arrangements. We need practical, pragmatic proposals to

give confidence back to the business community. Bringing investment

forward early, finding ways we can make sure that European structural

funds are still kept in the Glasgow economy. The report's also calls on

the ?1 billion city deal to be exonerated. Fast forwarding the

proposed rail link to Glasgow airport. Glasgow's strengths include

its retail sector, second only to London's West End. But there is fear

that any future trade tariffs will make imports more expensive.

Although a weaker pound could bring more tourist shoppers. Business

leaders fear that their concerns are not being taken seriously. At the

very best, we have to continue to make the arguments. We feel at the

moment as if the government has taken a slightly anti-business

perspective at Westminster. That is incredibly dangerous position to be

in. And it is not just the tourist trade that may go elsewhere.

Academic leaders are also worried. They say 15,000 foreign students are

in the city, more than 6000 of those are from the EU as well as more than

1000 staff. And ?25 million worth of grants from the EU go to Strathclyde

University alone. Cancel and business people know that they will

have to work hard to protect Glasgow during Brexit. They also know that

other cities across the UK are clamouring just as loudly.

Police searching for a 15-year-old girl on the banks of say a baby has

been found. She was last seen at power. Police say -- body has been

found. Leaked documents say Royal Bank of Scotland try profit from

ailing businesses. They say the bank profited from ailing businesses.

Staff could then gain cash from squeezing the firms in what was

called a dash for cash. It has been denied that they

How important is your mental health compared to your physical health?

If you think it's just as important but you don't take the time to look

A survey to mark World Mental Health day suggests a significant

number of us don't look after our psychological well-being.

So, addressing that is the message of a Scotland-wider arts

Our arts correspondent Pauline McLean reports.

Experts in a short trousers is a piece of theatre for five rods and

their families. These aliens have piece of theatre for five rods and

been crash landing into spaces across Scotland -- for

five-year-olds. Yeah it is lovely to come from such a young age. It is

about finding spaces to realise that people are different. And busy we

are aliens, so very different. But also space to recognise what people

are strong at. What began ten years ago is a small film Showcase has

since become a major festival. Alongside films are theatre,

exhibition and theatre. And shows all across the country. Among them a

new touring the show by the original lead singer of Pink Floyd in the

1960s. The band have set themselves that back then, there wasn't a great

deal known about a lot of these issues. And people are now much more

aware and knowledgeable. And in my opinion, have did not get the help

and treatment they needed. Today, that has changed, not least thanks

to festivals like this where mental health can be discussed openly. It

is much more talked about in popular culture. A lot of TV shows deal with

mental health very well and sensitively now. We'll bring

together organisations and artists and individuals that might not

otherwise worked together. It is quite a powerful thing. But there is

still some way to go, although the vast majority of Scots consider

their mental health as important as physical well-being. The message is

finding the time to do anything about it. Find the time, and use it

well. A man has died from injuries

sustained in a fall on Ben Nevis. The incident happened

to Lithuania has led His popularity in Slovakia is

undiminished, but as he and his squad arrive this afternoon, perhaps

the first time can't be said about squad arrive this afternoon, perhaps

his standing with Scotland fans is. The supporters and thousands like

them had overwhelmingly backed the manager, despite the failure to

reach Euro 2016. It have their attitude began to change in recent

weeks? It seemed to turn quite quickly, and I don't know why. We

had a couple of friendlies. They were just friendlies against two

decent teams. His team selections are questionable. His record at 18

competitive games is unspectacular. Eight wins, four draws and six

defeats. As he seeks to improve his record or from home, he concedes

automatic qualification is a long shot. In the footballing world, that

England would win it. It's a crazy gang here in this group they have

got. You never know. Second, yes. We will definitely go and get second at

least at the end. If we got first then great, but second is our target

as we sit here. There will be personnel changes from the team that

drew Lithuania, but there are absent from this training session, Fletcher

isn't ambient -- is determined to be involved. And desperate to play. I

have nothing really to save myself. Club games are important, but

representing your country's equally important. Scotland phase is like

inside with no points for their opening two games, and an even more

desperate need of a victory than these Scotland players. Let us get

the weather now. We have had a fine day and evening so far, especially

further across the West, where we have some clear spells and lovely

sunsets sent in from our weather watchers. This is from Angus. Across

the East, more in the way of cloud building and we start to see more in

the way of showers keeping in, too. All away from Orkney, the coastline

and down to the Borders. One or two is running across to Glasgow as

well. The best of clear spells across the North West. Temperatures

could close to freezing, maybe some frost and frost and mist and fog.

Elsewhere, temperatures could climb up to five or 10 degrees. Tomorrow

morning, a cloudy start from many of us with showers still around. There

will be some sunny spells, too, across the Galloway coast. One or

two showers at around 80 towards the east. Temperatures nine or 10

degrees. The best of the sunshine -- at around eight a. Add the rest of

the UK, those showers line all the way across the East Coast. Further

towards the west, from the south-west, Northern Ireland and

western parts of Scotland. Sunshine and temperatures here could climb up

to 14 or 15 degrees. Towards the east, cooler as the winds start

increase. That area of high pressure still with us across Scandinavia.

The wind coming from East draws in more moisture from the North Sea.

More in the way of showers. The wins will start to strengthen on

Wednesday and Thursday, making it feel fresher. For Wednesday, those

showers still with us further towards the East with a few

spreading in across parts of the central lowlands. Towards the West,

the best of any brighter spells. Temperatures 12 to maybe 14 Celsius.

With the strength of that wind, it will feel fresher, especially for

coastal areas, up over hills as well. Some chilly nights to come to.

outlook for Friday and the weekend. That is reporting Scotland. We are
