Programme information

Show

Pregnant women are to be immunised against whooping cough to protect their new-born babies. The programme for mothers-to-be is being introduced as Scotland suffers the worst outbreak of the disease since the 1980s. So far this year there have been more than a thousand reported cases - over the same period in 2011, there were just 61. In other news: "We love you - you've done nothing wrong," Those were the emotional words of a missing East Kilbride man's family, two weeks after he disappeared. George Glackin was last seen in a Glasgow pub. Police say the father of five is increasingly vulnerable, the longer he goes without his medication. More than a quarter of Scots over the age of seventy-five are suffering in an 'epidemic of loneliness' according to a major charity. The WRVS claims the problem has gone unnoticed for too long and is warning a lack of support is having devastating consequences in an age when dignity should be a basic human right. How energy efficient is your house? This weekend, some of Scotland's greenest homes will open their doors to show visitors the measures installed to save money and the environment. The scheme comes as the government set aside ten million pounds to encourage councils, housing associations and developers to become more eco-friendly. And in sports: Motherwell boss Stuart McCall hits back at critics of club's record against Rangers and Celtic. Ally McCoist has been hit by an injury crisis, with 5 of his summer signings missing tomorrow's Scottish Cup tie against Forres Mechanics. 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.
