goes back into scotland. there's been a campaign for many years for scotland to have its own news programme. and that was given a kick—start by a perception during the 2014 independence referendum campaign that the bbc showed a bias towards england and neglected the rest of the uk. now the nine is here, the balance of stories from scotland with those from further afield has proved controversial from some viewers. for one person, there wasn't enough specific scottish content. and this viewer who wanted to remain anonymous made a different point. well, i'm joined now from the set of the nine in glasgow by gary smith, head of news and current affairs for bbc scotland. gary, at a time of massive budget cuts to bbc news overall, is £5 million on one new news show, just for scotland, money well spent? i think it is. you probably won't be surprised to hear, i think, there's been a sense in the bbc for a number of years that a lot of production is centred in london and there has been a move over the past years to

scotland. what is the rationale behind it? and the moment when a studio camera went rogue on the news channel. first, the surge in knife crime has dominated headlines over the past seven days. and it's prompted some national soul—searching about its possible causes. on monday's news at 10, mark easton pondered the nature of the offence. it's a crime that feeds on itself. if one person get stamped, similar youngsters locally are more likely to carry a knife for their own protection. so the infection spreads. but is that infection spread further by the extent of knife crime coverage on tv? and the prominence given to it? some viewers thought so this week, with richard bond voicing a concern about the ubiquity of violence on television more widely. now, in a time of cuts and pressures on air time, it may come as a surprise that last week, the bbc launched a nightly hour—long prime time news programme, it is called the nine. on bbc scotland, with all your latest news, rebecca curran and martin

report in scotland are still a crucial part of our news offering in scotland. very popular programme against figures. but the nine is doing something different in a different time. there is what some people might say, parochial stories at length, mixed up with the uk and international news. is there a danger of satisfying nobody, especially scottish viewers, who want a full roundup of the news? i don't think it is an odd mix. i think it is a very interesting mix. the feedback we've had in the first two weeks of the channel and the news being on the air has been largely positive. it is doing, i suppose, what radio programmes in scotland have been doing for some years, which is having a running order, which is relevant to people in scotland, some days it might be a foreign story at the top and it's got local stories afterwards, some days it might be the other way around and some days we might be starting with a political story based at westminster, it depends on the news of the day. and within the space of an hour, we have time to get into the kind of stories tha

scotland had to get that position. scotland had to get that position. scotland had to get a result against one of those away from home to recover from this setback and of the weekend, got in san marino next. they are officially the worst team in the world, the bottom of the pile in the fifa world rankings. however, ishould scotland not make it into the top two places they do have a back—up routes because you might remember scotland beat israel and albania to secure top spot in their nations in the group winning that insured a place in the nations league playoffs which means, that even if scotland leaves all of their matches the qualifying campaign, they will be guaranteed a spot at this knockout competition which takes place in march next year. these are the themes that i could stand, i will be playing in that, they will be one that gets semifinals and finals, they were determining the four extra places at yet i think it is a dangerous game that scotland might be playing but they now there is an option therefore them should they not make therefore the

straight now to scotland ya rd really more later. straight now to scotland yard really met police are making a statement about the rise in knife crime. i am deputy assistant commissioner of scotland yard. we have had a tragic ten days in london. we have seen a number of high—profile violent incidents and oui’ high—profile violent incidents and our thoughts are very much with the family, friends and indeed the wider communities affected by these tragic events. one incident, one injury, one death is one too many. tackling violent crime remains the met‘s top priority and we have been working day and night to make progress. in advance of the weekend just past, we had arranged for more officers from oui’ had arranged for more officers from our violent crime task force to be on duty. and we have extended their shifts to raise visibility across london. these officers are operating across london in both uniform and plainclothes. officers from the homicide teams are working around the clock to bring justice to families and to protec

quite windy across northern scotland as well. we keep the brisk winds across northern scotland on saturday night and we keep some cool air, so where the winds are light further south we are likely to see a touch of frost takes into sunday morning. quite a chilly start to the day. for england and wales it's looking largely dry with some spells of sunshine. some showers across scotla nd of sunshine. some showers across scotland and northern ireland. some of these will be wintry. the temperature is once again a little bit lower. it's going to be cooler as we head into the weekend. blustery showers in the north but also some sunshine. that's all from the bbc news at one. it's goodbye from me. on bbc one, we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. have a very good afternoon. good afternoon. you're watching bbc news. i'm olly foster. bryony frost is going to miss next month's grand national meeting at aintree. she broke her collarbone in a fall at southwell. she became the first female jockey to win a grade i jumps race at the ch

solidarity from scotland! the snp and most opposition leaders at westminster have publicly pledged to vote for a new referendum. jeremy corbyn isn‘t here but has said it is an option the labour leadership will vote for in parliament, and the party‘s deputy leader says he could back theresa may‘s deal, but there isa back theresa may‘s deal, but there is a rather large and important caveat. i will help you get it over the line to prevent a disastrous no—deal brexit. but i can only vote for a deal if you let the people vote on it too. theresa may isn't yet confident enough to guarantee to bring her deal back to parliament for a further vote next week. campaigners hope that‘ll give them an opportunity to push their case for a new referendum. that decision won‘t be taken by thousands of people on the streets, it‘ll be taken by people on the streets, it‘ll be ta ken by fewer than people on the streets, it‘ll be taken by fewer than 650 mps, and so far they have resisted all calls for a public vote

the scotland six nations have never really got going. the feats to ireland and then to france, now the time to show up murray field the real scotland. we are out of the running of the championship but we want to play into our potential and show our true picture of what we are capable of. it is time we delivered an 80 minute performance. even that may not be enough. scotland playing for pride, wales amy for history. —— aiming for history. let's go from here in glasco across to edinburgh, oui’ here in glasco across to edinburgh, our correspondentjoe wilson is there ahead of that game tomorrow. for gregor townsend in scotland, these last two games come all about a good performance for them. absolutely. it is funny, if you wea ken absolutely. it is funny, if you weaken the go i remember being in cardiff standing by the pitch, the morning of the match and it felt like we were in the middle of summer. like we were in the middle of summer. suddenly in this part of scotla nd summer. suddenly in this part of scotland it feels quite wintry t

showers on a brisk wind continue to push into scotland. wintry may be on hills and may be showers into northern ireland. temperature is around 9— 12 degrees, so they will be down to recent days. more widespread frost on sunday morning. brightening across the south of england on sunday with heavier and prolonged downfalls on scotland. again wintry on hills, similar temperatures, blustery and northern scotland. this is how the weekend is shaping up. it will be different because the weather front will have moved on through. cool days, chilly nights with a touch of frost but more on the way of sunshine around. those showers, blustery and in places wintry and scotland. good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today: the eu agrees to delay brexit beyond the 29th march, after late night talks in brussels. all options will remain open and the cliff edge date will be delayed. theresa may has been offered two new brexit deadlines in april and may. we'll tell you what happens next. rescue workers try t

a sell—out of scotland's fishing fleet. exactly peace sell—out the secretary of state promised to resign over, and still hasn't. in the debate tomorrow, we look at the same condescending answers to questions about the impact on scotland. the answer is simply scotland, back in your box, this is advice you have to pay for being pa rt advice you have to pay for being part of the united kingdom. well, mr speaker, from the conservative benches i have heard a number of times that cabinet ministers have responded to questions about the impact of scotland by saying, can i... tonight we are seeing clearer than ever the price of being part of that. hear, hear! can be secretary of state confirm taxpayer—funded to represent themselves? at what time tonight love the first ministers of the national government of scotland wales, and if they left to hear on the news while others who hold no national government positions are getting preferential treatment? will the secretary of state not accept the secretary of state not accept the mood

they led 31—0 at one point, but scotland were not done. darcy graham's try sparked a second half in which their promise finally blossomed. he scored two in an amazing comeback. when finn russell was allowed to the line unaccompanied, it was 31—31. befuddled english heads span, no—one could keep sam johnson from scoring. scotland were minutes away from winning at twickenham for the first time in 35 years. in the end, in overtime, george ford scored and salvaged a draw. still, not enough to take the calcutta cup back from scotland. the six nations saved its best till last. patrick geary, bbc news. and in the women plasma six nations... —— the women's six nations... england ran in 12 tries as they thrashed scotland 80—0 to seal a ninth grand slam and regain the women's six nations title. the red roses were rampant, asjess breach scored her second and england's fourth try inside 17 minutes. england went on to score a staggering seven tries in the first half, adding another five in the second. the win gave england a 10th six nations c

make sure scotland can stay yin want to make sure scotland can stay y in the european union. briefly, you are not worried by the previous legal advice that the then european president described in which you would be applying as a new country because you would not be permitted to be accepted as an existing member? that is a different circumstance. i can tell you that myself and colleagues in the government have been meeting with european governments over the course of the last few months and i can tell you there is a strong hand of friendship has been extended to scotla nd friendship has been extended to scotland and they are appreciative of our position. i think the european union would want to have a partnership with scotland in scotland in police response times to the most urgent 999 calls for two of england‘s biggest forces, west midlands and greater manchester police, have got significantly worse in the past five years. that‘s according to a freedom of information request by bbc 5 live investigates. in the west midlands the average response times for the most serious

the scotland fans were keen show it. a match meant to be a walkover had become a tough watch but finally, with 17 minutes to go, scotland settled the nerves with a shimmy around the goalkeeper, johnny russell blowing off the tension. 2—0 this time enough to beat the part—timers but maybe not enough to silence the critics. wales have made a winning start to their euro 2020 qualifying campaign with victory over slovakia in cardiff. a first international goal for swansea city's danjames was enough to secure three points for manager ryan giggs who handed james his first competitive start. joe wilson was watching. close your eyes and you could almost be back at the six nations. but open them quick because the footballers of wales started this match at lightning pace, the breakfrom brooks, even when the slovakian defenders got the ball, danjames was too strong and too good. a first start for wales, a first goalfor wales! danjames! fifth minute of the game, first goalfor wales fifth minute of the game, first goal for wales

most credit in scotland, northern ireland and northern england. there will be heavy bursts of rain in the highlands and hebrides later. more sunshine will develop in the afternoon, it could hit 16 degrees in the moray firth, 16 or 17 in east wales and east england. if anything, the rain is still there in the north—west of scotland on thursday, it will mount up in the highlands and could cause rivers and streams to flood. wetter across the hebrides. further south, to flood. wetter across the hebrides. furthersouth, cloud breaks, the best of which are probably in the north—east of england and eastern northern ireland. it could hit around 16 degrees again. wet and windy on thursday, lasting into friday. into the start of the weekend, the cloud we have will sweep away. whilst thursday and friday are remaining fairly cloudy with very wet and windy weather in the north of scotland, temperatures may have dropped 80 degrees by saturday, still above where they should be for the time of year, but a greater amount of sunshine. but watch how quickly the c

for many, light winds, feeling pretty across northern scotland. looking at the picture for thursday, an area of rain hanging around here, not just thursday, an area of rain hanging around here, notjust through thursday, but into friday as well. a particular wet spot of weather with the wind is picking up. elsewhere, clouds, sunny spells, still mild. that rain across northern scotland, looking at the picture into friday, from an area of low pressure that from an area of low pressure that from friday into saturday will start to drive a weather front and southwards across the uk, although weakening. that process begins on friday, eventually the rain beginning to ease in north west scotland. moving into parts of england and wales. cooler behind that area of rain, still mild to the south of it. that pushes through on friday. into the weekend, it has cooled a little across all parts. drier weather across the weekends, turning what across parts of scotla nd turning what across parts of scotland on sunday. you're watching beyond 100 days. they share the s

we start on a terrible night for scotland. alex mcleish‘s side were abject in their euro 2020 qualification opener. they lost 3—0 to kazachstan, a side ranked 117th in the world — a team who have only won 2 of their last 20 qualifers. craig templeton watched the action. scotland's qualifying campaign began a long way from home. astana is nearly 4000 miles from edinburgh but all the early patterns of play were created by kazakhstan are yellow, and inside six minutes they found a hole in the scottish defence in the top corner was found. it was about top corner was found. it was about to get worse. once more, the path to scotland's girl was too easy to find and it was 2—0 afterjust ten minutes. only agility meant it didn't become three before half—time. the interval brought no change and soon it was three. you can see what the tartan army thought about. the best chance fell to stuart armstrong but despite having so little to do, the goalkeeper was up so little to do, the goalkeeper was up to the task. scotland stunned b

more than 900 people were killed by drugs in scotland in 2017. nearly one third of them had ta ken etizolam, including john paul in sanquhar. so we contacted facebook and asked them to come on this programme for an interview. they've said no, but they've given us this statement. "after a thorough review, we identified and removed 11 accounts related to the contact the bbc brought to our attention, and fanned out to remove an additional 16 accounts associated with these profiles involved in similar activity." so that's 27 accounts. we found more than 200. facebook says there is more it can do. if the trade of drugs on social media sites is so blatant, so easy, if deadly pills can be sent straight through the post, then what can the police do about that? in recent months, we have probably taken out several thousand tablets which we suspect are xanax — and we took them out the postal system. i think it would be naive to think that the availability of drugs isnae going to increase with the advent of the internet, and it's been slowly increasing ove

the population in scotland is doing really well generally. we have over 500 breeding pairs in the scotland and over 80% of the territories are occupied. that is a really good news story and a good conservation success story but there are still challenges. it is not a national picture, there are regional variations and we still have some issues about habitat quality and prey base in the west highlands and in the southern uplands. recruitment of young birds is a bit of an issue. in the cairngorms particularly and in the eastern cairngorms, there is an ongoing concern about raptor persecution and that is where these tags will come into their own. they will give us specific real—time feedback about what is happening to the birds and if anybody is killing them illegally, we will know exactly where and when it is happening. when you say you will be collecting data such as killing them, does it monitor the health of the bird or is it more location data? what the tax do is they use a new type of satellite network, geo station iridium is what it is

we'll also have streams of showers, one in north—eastern scotland, one into western scotland, over the irish sea into the midlands. for much of the day, southern parts of england and wales and eastern england will be dry with some sunshine. the winds gradually easing down through the afternoon. eventually, some cloud and some rain arrives in northern ireland. shouldn't be quite as chilly — temperatures 11 or 12 degrees on wednesday afternoon. the winds continue to ease through the evening, but we introduce more cloud, we introduce rain to many parts of the country overnight, and the main concern is the amount of rain. the continued rain in upland areas of north—west england, over the pennines and the cumbrian fells, could lead to some flooding issues over the next few days. mild enough, temperatures 5—7 degrees, ‘cause it's windy and it's wet. now, the worst of the rain will probably be overnight and first thing in the morning. that weather front will take the heaviest of the rain away, and then we've got this secondary cold front that's moving its way southwards and taking pat
