Radio Scott the trial so what can we expect on the weather front to join smarts about the forecast good morning good morning Gary. Lots of dry weather to come today it is a chilly start a touch of frost in places a risk of icy patches and a slight covering of snow over higher ground in the north following wintry Sherry's overnight those showers will continue for a time this morning but they'll tend to ease towards afternoon otherwise dry and bright today plenty of sunshine but it will be chilly highs of just 5 to 8 Celsius the brisk northerly winds easing as the day goes on but we'll see Clyde the getting across the west later in the afternoon of the forecast Julian thank you you're listening to Good morning Scott on this morning with Gary Robertson and Laura Maxwell time now it's 7 minutes past 6 and finally the end is in sight after more than 5 weeks on the campaign trail candidates up and down the country are preparing for one final push ahead of polling day on Thursday over the course the various players have fired off a verbal vollies on everything from the future of the n.h.s. To a stereotype and the climate crisis but our resident electoral expert a professor Sir John Curtis says one issue will determine the outcome the truth is that for the most part the way the people are going to vote is consistent with their views on Bracks it so we now have about 75 percent of those people who voted leave saying they're going to vote for the conservative the backs of party virtual them for the Conservative party I'm a more on the remains I'd we've got just under 80 percent of people who voted remains and they're going to vote for one of the parties in 5 a 2nd referendum so to that extent at least Brecht's it is clearly structuring People's Choice Well I came campaign correspondent Jamie McIntyre is with us in the studio this morning Jamie clearly looking forward to it 3 full days of campaigning to go what can we expect I suppose with the final street tell you always have 2 big themes there will be that relentless focus an undecided voters and in particular a focus on undecided voters in the constituencies which are in plane but of course given the circumstances of the civil action there's also going to be a bit of a focus and simply. Getting the photo that is the field of lethargy after 30 elections in 4 years and of course a fear that if the weather is bad and Thursday some people won't come out to vote and that could disproportionately affect some parties more than others I think what is going to be interesting over the next few days is the extent to which each party's message will be about Breck set or independence and the extent of which it will be about regular to Syria's neighbors John McDonald was in Glasgow and Saturday and his themes were about how labor would be good difference and real lines it was about his themes were about things like scrapping Universal Credit about building council homes he hardly spoke about bricks at a toll and I think one reason that Labor is keen and that is that the battle is really thinking here about the battle in Labor's heartland and the parts of England that voted to leave the e.u. And of course here there is the battle between labor in the s.n.p. And what used to be Labor's heartlands in central Scotland now the conservatives will want to talk about their plans on domestic policy over the next few days but in the context of getting Bracks it done 1st the talk of the up and ready deal which means the u.k. Could be out of the e.u. At the end of January and then what happens next in domestic policy for the Lib Dems though I think there will be that clearer focus on Bracks it is a deflating theme Joyce Winston acknowledging it's highly unlikely that there will be a Lib Dem government but obviously she is aware that her view of who voting for the Lib Dems in some areas can deny the Conservatives a majority and they're saying Pete also going to be focusing once stopping Breck's it is especially what they'd want in a hung parliament including issues like Iran is an n.h.s. Spending side of the border with consequential here and of course they're all they can play in some constituencies in Scotland and helping to prevent a conservative majority and given where. The conservatives are in the polls so are we likely to see lots of Appeals from the remain supporting parties for lots of tactical voting and how does that go down with the electorate Well it's always an interesting thing when it comes to tactical voting because ultimately it's about seeing don't vote for who you really want to vote for the Peris and that's best place to stop the person you really don't want and that can all play in different ways in England amongst the 2 anti Breck's at parties it might be a key piece of remain Valter a big are at a local level by one party to vote for them because they are based police to to stop the conservatives so in some places you'll see Labor see only they can beat the Tories and some places the Lib Dems will make exactly the same argument I think in Scotland it's a slightly different set of arguments because I think here some voters are trying to triangulate how the few about breaks it with how the feel about independence you might find an example of somebody who doesn't support independence or indeed if to be considered in quota for tests in p. In their particular constituency as a as an anti Brecht's at fault but the same talk in the Conservatives might say they're the best and t.s.a. And p.r. Person in some places and making an appeal to people who might might if they had their way still or sit still stay in the e.u. So very interesting to see who these appeals actually work with the voters are some people going to try to play the system for the outcome they can accept rather than the one they want over some people still be as it were voting with their hearts rather than that heads Yeah there's a lot of there's been various different stories in the papers over the weekend if you curveballs who the bigger parties and do these have any impact at this stage and again most people of those people not decided yet I think that they would need to be pretty monumental at this stage in the game over to see to make much of a difference except in the tape just of raises the question though was that are those undecided voters a bit. Bad p.r. For one bit of a scandal here a bit of it over there might just make that difference amongst the small number the relatively small number of undecided voters I think that's that's really where the battle is I can't imagine many people actually changing their minds just Unless something monumental happens is about all those people haven't decided to me thank you very much indeed our campaign correspondent to me for their time now 13 minutes past 6 Scotland's farmers are calling on the Scottish and u.k. Governments to find a long term solution to what's been described as an unprecedented fuel crisis and if you Scotland says they've received more than 400 complaints from their members many of whom have had to pay for repairs the placements for machinery damaged they believe by the inclusion of bio fuel in the diesel supply but Jimmy Smart's chair of the union's legal and technical committee Jim good morning to you good morning and tell us more about what your members are experiencing. I would remember the experience saying they're machine losing power and eventually cutting are you and it seems to be exacerbate you don't know recall where are and I presume that for many of them these machinery these pieces of machinery are crucial for the for the livelihoods absolutely crucial less pay me years feeling why you saw it you know and moving stuff around and then of course if we do get by where are there is also then parked for when the resilience and noise because a lot of members of the. Clearing snow in the roads. And I you know doorstep this is all about bio fuel which is being added to the red diesel as it's known used on farms it was apparently at 7 percent let's not drop back to 5 percent hasn't made a difference. To be honest we don't know yet one of the problems that we harvest a lot of farmers will have if you will and their storage tank storage them through the winter now you store. Actually talk your tail we hope it well but big problem just now you are going to be getting rid of the fuel so no storage tanks to the police that were better fuel Why is this biofuel added to the red diesel what's the argument behind that. To help the carbon emissions drop from their vehicles larger than using manual oils Sean you know from North Sea oil and shore and we're using junior of all sources sure we're really keen to see us being able to get back to using the fuel inclusionary if we can transport sector like a Matheson says he's written to the u.k. Government he says it's clear that a long term fix will need to be found that allows for the continued reduction of carbon emissions from fuels that doesn't cause critical issues with performance and the Department for Transport say they hope the changes to biofuel percentage will help Scottish farmers they say they're going to continue to work with farming and fuel industries to develop a long term solution what do you see the long term solution being. Well we are a regime trying to discuss to find if we can train better testing and to recognise the way the farmers suffer to store their fuel but that doesn't help the short term issue you know how to read going to get through the next few weeks and months we are keen to work longer term but we need our short term fix as well and what would you like that short term fix to be. Well we asked for a derogation a new short term we were told it wasn't possible. We're hoping that 5 percent. Inclusionary well help but we don't know yet Jesse and we've still got the bad fuel and they're trying it's just no yeah yeah as you say it's being stored for the future as it were bought in bulk it would compensation go some way to helping the farmers who've been affected. It would help but I think what we need is usually . Become can see Sheen We retail. Stores long terms are. You know to cheaper machines moving us now Jamie thanks for speaking to us that's Jamie smart who's chair of the n.f. Hughes legal and technical committee the time is 17 minutes past 6 time for business news now with Andrew back put among Scottish companies out for the 1st time since last August that's right Laurie s.s. Service companies are reported their fastest expansion for the past 6 months according to a regular survey of these companies by r.b.s. But manufacturing companies recorded a drop in order to value for the 15th month the rule Overall though r.b.s. Economists reckon there are some positive signs there's also been a moderate increase in staffing levels up to 4 months of the clain uncertainty about bricks and other economic issues are still weighing down growth though and those numbers late today do chime with recently released official data by the Scottish government they say it's the school's economy shrank less between April and June than was 1st thought however the construction sector it was still sharply danger in that time and news out this morning that Tesco thinking about pulling out of Thailand and Malaysia it says yes Tesco has about 2000 stores in these 2 countries employing 60000 people but this deal is even more significant than just that because ever it is done that could effectively mean the end for Tesco is a big international supermarket brands at the moment Tesco is only saying that it started a review of its Asian businesses after what it calls in Bones interest but it's not named any potential buyers yet it's a sale would mean Tesco being left with stores in Arlin the Czech Republic hungry Poland and survive here although in those last few countries as really struggle to meet money and this is really the next stage in the company's turn arraigned program launched 5 years ago that in response to in the.
