Three men have now been arrested in connection with the attempted

murder of two police officers in Glasgow.

They're expected to appear in court on Monday.

The police officers were struck by a car while they attended

a call-out in the north of the city on Sunday night.

On Sunday night at around 11:15pm, two officers were called

to a disturbance here in Knightswood and then deliberately

They were seriously injured after being run over by a blue

Nissan, and they were both taken to hospital.

The 30-year-old woman officer was so badly hurt

And as the officers had lain on the road, hurt,

that blue Nissan was driven away, hitting parked cars, including

Police have today arrested three men in connection with the attempted

murder of the officers, a 28-year-old man this morning

and a 24-year-old and 30-year-old man this afternoon.

The 30-year-old is David Maclean, who detectives issued

a photo of earlier today and were very keen to trace.

ScotRail has been fined almost half a million pounds for failing

to meet required standards for trains and stations.

The inspection results follow criticism of the franchise

over delayed, cancelled and over-crowded trains.

Here's our Transport Correspondent David Henderson.

Well, this is another wrap across the knuckles for ScotRail. They are

already under pressure to improve their targets, for things like

reducing the number of trains that are late, reducing levels of

overcrowding on the trains. But they also assessed on soft performance

targets. Inspectors travel on the trains, go to the stations and ask

the core questions, like RB train announcements clear enough on what

is the service from staff like, are the toilets clean enough? It seems

they have failed on a number of those fronts, to put up during July

to September, targets were not met in five out of 17 areas of station

performance and ScotRail also missed ten out of 17 benchmarks on the

train. The end result is they have been hit by an enormous fine, almost

half ?1 million, which will be reinvested in the rail network but

which will hit ScotRail's profits. Some reaction tonight from the

Scottish Government to say that further improvements will be

required. They have asked transport Scotland to ask ScotRail to set out

in detail how it plans to improve performance. As far as ScotRail is

concerned, they say they will never stop striving to deliver they are

investing almost half ?1 billion in new trains and refurbished trains

and on better Wi-Fi to improve the passenger experience. They will now

know it is day-to-day services which have to improve fast.

Independence campaigners, holding a vigil outside

the Scottish Parliament have lost their appeal against eviction.

The Court of Session upheld an earlier ruling

Defiant, determined but almost out of options.

The pledge from those running the camp was that it

would remain until Scotland was declared independent.

interviewed, but the sense here was one of defiance,

Ever since it first appeared, Holyrood's corporate body have

wanted the camp removed, arguing it was unlicensed

and a threat to Parliament's neutrality.

But when they were ordered to leave, the campers took their case

There are spiritual arguments based on the idea that Jesus has returned

We will apply for the order and it will probably take several days.

As soon as we are in possession of that, we will seek to remove

the campers if they have not left voluntarily.

Our preference is that they respect the ruling and leave the site.

The campers say that fundamentally this has been

The Scottish Parliament say they will discuss finding

an alternative way to allow that, but only once the camp has gone.

The family of a missing French student say they can think of no

reason why he may have gone missing in Edinburgh.

Police believe that Antoine Maury may have become disorientated,

after leaving friends on Monday evening.

They've been searching Holyrood Park after what they describe as credible

sightings of a topless man spotted there on Monday evening.

We spoke to him last time last week on Thursday. He was extremely happy

to be here. Every time I spoke to him on the phone he was very happy

to be here. He was succeeding in his exams. He was very interested in

what he was doing. A plane was diverted and escorted

to land under military escort The flight had lost contact

with air traffic control, which led to RAF Typhoon

jets being scrambled. People along the west

coast heard sonic booms as the jets went supersonic,

breaking the sound barrier. Police said the Airbus A320

was travelling from Toulouse The governing body of youth football

in Scotland is urgently reviewing its guidelines on heading

the ball following new evidence A Stirling University study

suggested repeated heading could impair recall

for up to 24 hours. The Scottish Youth Football

Association says it would be "inadvisable" for a child to do

repetitive header drills but also rejected suggestions that football

should be avoided before exams. Rugby and Edinburgh suffered

an embarrassing defeat at home against bottom club

Zebre, losing 19-14. Better news for Glasgow who went top

with a 31-14 win over Treviso. Jonny Gray crashed over

for the first try before centre Mark Bennett ran 40 metres to score

after good work by Tommy Seymour. Rory Hughes ran a good line to score

the third before Alex Dunbar landed the bonus point just

before half time. Rory Hughes got his second

when Langilangi Haupeakui was sent off for a second

yellow card on his debut. And both sides could soon be open

to external investment. The Scottish Rugby Union's member

clubs have voted unanimously in favour of a proposal that

would allow some or all shares in Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh

entirely by the SRU. It's over to Christopher now

with the weather forecast Good evening. Fairly cloudy and

largely dry tonight. Quite chilly at the moment across the North East but

the cloud will build here and the temperature will recover. While high

pressure is nearby and generally in charge we have this weather front

straddling across the country. Bringing outbreaks of rain overnight

for the West and north-west. That is how we starting tomorrow morning.

They cloudy and damp morning in places with some mist around. The

rain moving to the hills by the afternoon. Many areas dry but

brightness will be limited as we head through towards the afternoon.

Worst of it likely across the North East. In the UK as a whole high

pressure is in charge, so it is largely dry, little in the way of

wind but cloudy. Temperatures on the mild side for this time of year, low

to mid teens. A closer look for us, by mid afternoon a fuse box of rain,

mainly over the hills but temperature wise -- a few spots of

rain. Generally it is dry but fairly cloudy. Towards eastern Scotland

through parts of Perthshire in towards Angus and Aberdeenshire,

we're likely to see something a bit brighter by the afternoon. Maybe 15

Celsius. Further north and north-west quite drizzly across

Shetland for most of the day and cloudy and damp in that area.

Staying fairly proudly and little change in the evening. They largely

settled day on Sunday. They cloudy and damp start a central and

southern and eastern Scotland should dry up with a dry but cloudy

afternoon in store. Staying wet in areas in the far north-east. Don't

forget the clocks go back one hour. That is forecast for now.

Our next update is tomorrow evening at 5:50pm.

But from everyone on the late team here in Glasgow, have a
