have been let down by Governments in London. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The BBC has announced plans to launch a new dedicated TV | :00:00. | :00:19. | |
?30 million a year will be invested in the project with the service | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
It will include a news hour at 9 o'clock, after the BBC rejected | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
the idea of a so-called Scottish Six. | :00:34. | :00:34. | |
The element of surprise is an important ingredient | :00:35. | :00:46. | |
for any storyteller and, it seems, the Director | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
Tony Hall arrived in Glasgow promising to do more to reflect life | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
For Scotland, he revealed, that means a new dedicated TV channel. | :00:55. | :01:03. | |
The right way to give viewers in Scotland choice is to mirror | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
In the morning, I listen to the Today programme | :01:07. | :01:18. | |
or Good Morning Scotland and I believe that is what we are | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
I'm excited by that because I think this is an immensely, | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
If it introduces more work for the people of Scotland that's | :01:26. | :01:38. | |
It will be Mrs McDougal's missing cat or somebody stole my bike! | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
News coverage, a constant source of tension, is central to the change | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
and it sees the return of a traditional time slot. | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
But with a twist, a Scottish Nine, covering stories around the globe | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
For some people, it is a missed opportunity. | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
If you tune in at 6:00pm to a typical news programme | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
they will often lead on an English health story | :02:13. | :02:26. | |
Another thorny issue for those in charge is the licence fee - | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
compared to other devolved nations a smaller percentage | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
of the money raised in Scotland is spent in Scotland. | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Which brings us back to Shetland, commissioned here for a BBC network | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
audience, an extra ?20 million a year is being invested to do more | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
So, could Scotland for example recreate a Welsh success story? | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
What we do want to do is attract some of our Scottish talent back - | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
the likes of Steven Moffat, the great Scottish | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
writer, maybe he'll do something for us in the future. | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
The Scottish Government welcomed the announcement today | :03:04. | :03:04. | |
but questioned the budget for the proposed new channel. | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
We estimated it would cost ?75 million to deliver, | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
so the ?30 million announced, however welcome, may fall short | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
So we welcome a new Scottish TV channel but it must not be | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
MSPs will be able to quiz Tony Hall tomorrow when he faces | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
The aim is to have the new channel up and running in 18 months' time. | :03:24. | :03:35. | |
Broadcasting and the Scottish Six have been a source of much | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
So does today's announcement address any of the concerns? | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
Earlier our political editor Brian Taylor gave us his analysis. | :03:43. | :03:53. | |
The response from the body politic has been notably warm. It can be | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
remarkably disarmed to say yes. Remember that the idea of a | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
distinctive Scottish channel was piloted by a commission set up by | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
these first SNP Government. That was demanded as recently as 2015 by the | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
First Minister. The BBC is searing yes, eventually. That is getting | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
good response at Holyrood. There are important caveats. For example, the | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
issue of money. Across the parties, the response is positive. The formal | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
statements by the Scottish Government and the SNP made no | :04:40. | :04:48. | |
mention of the Scottish Six. They were talking in work on terms. It | :04:49. | :04:58. | |
seems today they were smiling Lome on the BBC today. No doubt normal | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
service will be resumed soon. Weather warnings have | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
been upgraded ahead of the arrival of Storm Doris, | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
with large areas of Scotland due to be affected by snow | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
overnight and into tomorrow Travel disruption is expected | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
and Borders Council has already cancelled all school transport | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
for tomorrow morning, Morag Kinniburgh has been to see | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
the preparations being made They are tracking the weather | :05:17. | :05:37. | |
patterns here at the traffic Scotland weather Centre. Storm Doris | :05:38. | :05:45. | |
is due to arrive at 2am tomorrow. With me is Dean Connolly. How bad | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
will this be? We have the picture on here from the Met office that | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
integrates the weather. Most of the country is covered in it yellow, | :05:58. | :06:06. | |
wind and snow. Amber is covering southern Scotland. That is personal. | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
You expect severe weather and challenging conditions tomorrow. -- | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
that is slow. How destructive will this be? Within the control centre, | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
we will have the multi-agency response team. We will try to ensure | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
that ever anything does happen it will be cleared up as quickly as | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
possible. What is your advice for the public. Our advice is the same. | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
Check out at the Traffic Scotland website. Give the extra space to the | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
current front of you. It can take ten times longer to stop in a car | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
than it does when it isn't snowing. Time to make another plan if you are | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
affected. You can keep up-to-date on the BBC Scotland website. | :06:58. | :06:58. | |
More councils have been setting their council tax | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
Aberdeen became the fifth council to voluntarily decide not to put | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
up the basic rate, even though this means they're | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
adding to the pressure on their finances. | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
In all but three council areas, the council tax should | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
People who live in the higher property bands face | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
automatic increases regardless of what | :07:16. | :07:16. | |
An independent watchdog has said Police Scotland has made | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
substantial improvements in its use of stop and search. | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
The Inspector of Constabulary says the controversial use | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
of so-called consensual searches has almost ceased. | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
There's been a 67% reduction in the practice, | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
with almost all carried out on a statutory or legal basis. | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
Almost half of Scottish charities saw reduced turnover last year. | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
A report from the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations also | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
reveals that charities are expecting demand for their | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
Our social affairs correspondent Reevel Alderson reports. | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
A face-lift for a daycare centre for dementia sufferers | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
The charity said it could not afford contractors to do the work outside. | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
So it called in volunteers, all former offenders. | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
The dementia sufferers benefit and the volunteers | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
A lot of people after they come out the other side of the criminal | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
justice system, they find it hard to find employment or | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
That is where we come in, we can offer that to them. | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
This scheme, operated by Apex, said by offering former offenders | :08:33. | :08:41. | |
work it takes the risk out of potential employers | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
Apex has learned it has lost its funding | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
It is a familiar story for charities, who a report says | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
Almost half of Scottish charities saw income falling last year. | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
Those who did record increases were mainly large organisations | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
with turnover of more than half a million. | :09:00. | :09:07. | |
72% of charities forecast increased demand for their services this year. | :09:08. | :09:15. | |
Nearly 75% said they could not adequately plan because | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
funding was invariably made on a short-term basis, | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
Apex said that this hand to mouth existence is ultimately wasteful. So | :09:20. | :09:31. | |
much time is spent looking out for funding and looking through the | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
reporting mechanisms in order to make these contracts happen. It's a | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
real problem because we would like to be spending time on working out | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
how to do the contracts better. The Scottish Council | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
for Voluntary Organisations, which produced the report, | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
is lobbying ministers to change the way charities receive funding. | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
The Scottish Government said it It's short-sighted, costing | :09:56. | :10:04. | |
a model that makes it easier for charities especially | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
smaller ones to become sustainable costing local and national | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
government lots of time and effort. We really need to rethink this | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
and go on to a three year cycle of funding a model that makes it | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
easier for charities especially The Scottish government said it | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
would like to develop a three year funding cycle to develop a strong | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
and dynamic third sector. Football - and Scottish Cup holders | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
Hibs are through to the quarter finals after a 3-1 win over city | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
rivals Hearts at Easter Road. The goals came from Jason Cummings, | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
Grant Holt and Andrew Shinnie. Tavares Cruz da Silva scored | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
a consolation for the visitors. Hibs now face Ayr United at home | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
in the quarter finals. It's over to Christopher now | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
with the weather forecast The amber warning first or has been | :10:41. | :10:53. | |
extended. Good evening. A winter storm is on the way. There is a bee | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
prepared one incredible risk of snow. It has just been extended in | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
the last hour including the central black. -- Central Belt and further | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
north. Low pressure has been named Storm Doris and it beats the cold | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
error which means that it will fall as snow. The amber ever is going | :11:18. | :11:26. | |
just shy of power. Some significant disruption as result of the snow. | :11:27. | :11:34. | |
Breezy on the east coast. Snow on the charger that is likely to have | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
severe disruption. This will affect high points of roads, and 77, and | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
eight, and 90 and a nine. Just a centimetre or two of snow if that. | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
You do not have to go too far out of the city to see a significant amount | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
of snow, however. Probably rain in Aberdeen. Dry for the Northern Isles | :12:00. | :12:10. | |
with some straw -- rain for the rest of the north. Perhaps some rain | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
later on in the day for the Borders. Winter is also an issue tomorrow. | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
That is further south. Amber warning across parts of Wales and East | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
Anglia. Some disruption likely from that as well. Pretty snowy tomorrow. | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
Windy for some. The bar sized, quieter and mother. For us, a winter | :12:39. | :12:48. | |
Thursday. The system. We and venture we rain comes eastwards. This time | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
tomorrow night and it would be mixed. Behind it is a mix of drive | :12:53. | :13:01. | |
pressure. Dreyer, camera, Brighton. Another spell of bread. Let's be | :13:02. | :13:10. | |
capped tomorrow morning. The amber every out we are unlikely to see the | :13:11. | :13:19. | |
greatest amount of stuff. Likely disruption on the committee | :13:20. | :13:20. | |
tomorrow. Our next update is during Breakfast | :13:21. | :13:21. | |
from 6:25am tomorrow. From everyone on the late | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
team here in Glasgow | :13:26. | :13:28. |
