Transcript

00:00 Hello, I'm Gill Buchanan, the editor of the Falkirk Herald, and I'm here to tell you

00:04 about some of the stories that are making the headlines in our print edition, which

00:07 is on sale now. Members of Falkirk Round Table brought Christmas early for a little Grangemouth

00:13 girl who earlier this year was diagnosed with a terminal tumour. The tablers brought Santa

00:18 and his sleigh as well as lots of gifts for Arie a Tritney and her family. A Lauritzen

00:23 man was given a lifelong sentence after being found guilty of attacking a young woman in

00:28 a Falkirk wood, with police later finding what they described as a rape kit in his backpack.

00:35 Home carers who are members of the GMB union and who provide vital care in people's homes

00:39 on behalf of Falkirk Council are only days away from striking overpay. Last week we told

00:46 you Falkirk Foodbank had been targeted in a break-in with new laptops stolen, while

00:51 within days the local businesses had rallied round to replace them and install a security

00:55 system at the Tamfor Hill premises. A man has been jailed for 20 years for what a judge

01:01 has described as a vicious murder of a disabled man in Bowness. A High Boybridge woman has

01:08 launched a cottage industry making soap in the kitchen of her home, which has been sold

01:12 in gift shops across the country. And pupils at Langley's primary are already planning

01:17 ahead and recently held a careers convention and invited neighbouring schools to attend.

01:23 We've got pictures from the event, while St Mungo's pupils held their own Oscars night

01:28 for film and media students. Do you know that they used to burn witches in Bowness? Well

01:33 neither did we until we read historian Ian Scott's fascinating article. And in sport

01:39 we've got all the regular features and Callum Morrison talking about his four goal outing

01:44 at the weekend. All these stories and lots more are in our print edition which is on

01:49 sale now and also online at www.falkirkherald.co.uk. Thank you.
