Programme information

Show

Scotland's drug death toll has reached record levels. Fatalities have now gone up by nearly eighty percent in a decade. In other news: The Jenny Methven murder trial has been told the accused, William Kean is the only candidate for her killing. A man's been jailed for life after stabbing a near neighbour 82 times. Irishman Michael Nolan launched a frenzied attack on John Kennedy at his house in Dundee after taking offence at a remark about his girlfriend. The Duke of Edinburgh is continuing to receive treatment at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for a bladder infection. Former MSP Tommy Sheridan says he welcomes the arrest of the former news editor of the Scottish News of the World. Douglas Wight has been charged with committing perjury during the trial of the former MSP, and conspiracy to hack telephones. Marine energy experts in Scotland are to help advice South Korea in creating a tidal testing facility. House prices in Aberdeen have dropped by almost 10 per cent - more than any other city, according to the latest survey. Businesses in the Highlands are welcoming pledges by internet companies to stop unfairly charging extra for delivery to the region. And in sports: It's the first Dundee Derby since 2005 and unsurprisingly it's a sell out. Dundee are huge underdogs for the match, but Dees boss Barry Smith is happy to have that tag, insisting that all the pressure is on United to win. Derek Adams hopes to convince former Celtic and Hibs striker Derek Riordan to move to Dingwall ahead of the visit of SPL Champions Celtic. The Scottish Seniors Open got underway today in St. Andrews, with Scotland's Andrew Oldcorn tied in the lead on 5 under. This international version of STV News at Six is viewable world-wide. It has been edited for rights reasons, which also allows us to keep the programme online after the initial 24-hour broadcast window in the UK has passed. Viewers within the UK who want to watch the full episode 'as broadcast' should select the UK version of the programme.
