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

Pauline Cafferkey, the nurse who survived ebola,

is to return to Sierra Leone where she contracted the disease.

She says the trip, to raise funds for orphaned children,

will give her closure, after what she's described

This is the image which has come to define Pauline Cafferkey, being

Accused of allowing a wrong temperature to be recorded for

her during screening, the misconduct charge

was dismissed after the hearing heard she had been impaired

by two nurses she met working in Sierra Leone.

Going back is the first step in leaving that image

behind her once and for all, as she moves on with her life.

I think psychologically, it is important that I go back.

I have had a terrible couple of years since then,

so it will be good to go back, for things to come full circle for

The number of Scots seeking work fell over the winter months

That takes the unemployment rate to below that of the UK as a whole.

Here's our business and economy editor, Douglas Fraser.

Unemployment across Britain hasn't been any lower than this since 1975.

In Scotland, the jobless rate is 4.5% of the workforce,

That's with an estimated 15,000 fewer Scots

seeking work between December and February.

But contrary to the wider UK trend, the number of Scots in work

while the number of working-age Scots who are not in or available

for work has continued to rise, up 18,000.

The figures, from the Office for National Statistics,

show employees' pay inflation over the year

running at 2.3%, including bonuses -

the same as the most recent figure for rising prices.

That means real spending power has stalled.

With unemployment so low, recruitment pricey, and growing talk

of skills shortages, it is all the more important to retain valued

That doesn't include the self-employed.

And it's a signal that growth in real spending power has stalled,

with potentially big implications for the economy.

When you are young and growing a business,

retention is one of the biggest challenges you face, and we have

grown up as a business and understood a bit more about it, so

retention is a key priority, so much time

is what you have to do to grow the company.

Lets get the weather forecast now with Kirsteen.

Some sunshine and showers have been the order of the day, with plenty of

rainbows around, too. Tonight, we continue along the Sharif team,

particularly so in the west and north. Clear spells to the east into

tomorrow morning. Around 8am we are expecting plenty of sunshine across

the likes of the Borders, Fife and the north-east. A much cloudier

prospect across much of the west into the Northwest and Northern

Isles with plenty of showers continuing. These will continue

bright through the day. As we had through the day further east, the

case of clouds continuing to increase. Not as windy as it was

yesterday and today across the country, although it will still feel

fairly chilly underneath the cloud. Across the rest of the UK, we are in

the same board. A fair amount of cloud and bits and pieces of cloudy

rain at times. The rest of the Thornton tomorrow afternoon will be

across the far south-west, temperature wise for most of us at

across the far south-west, around ten to 14 Celsius. Looking

across the far south-west, ahead to Good Friday, a lot of

clouds come with some showers and longer spells of rain. Particularly

for western areas. Across Scotland, the best of the sunshine will be in

the east. Brisk westerly winds on Friday, so again, really quite a

cold feel. Especially in exposure to the wind and showers. Saturday, a

fairly benign day of weather. A lot of cloud to come, hence the

brightness and fun turnaround at times. Across the west and the north

of Scotland, we may well see some wintry showers being pitched in on

hold north another westerly winds. Easter Sunday, this weather front is

set to make inroads across Northern Ireland and Scotland, producing some

rain, drier further sad. That's the weather forecast.
