00:00 Hello, I'm Caitlin and here's the latest news in Glasgow.
00:06 The Chetthaston neighbourhood was evacuated after the discovery of a potentially hazardous
00:10 material in a flat. Police and emergency crews visited the property
00:14 on Isle Tyre Street with a hazmat unit and some emergency service staff are now being
00:17 treated after becoming unwell. An estimated 60 people spent the night at an
00:22 emergency rest centre at a nearby swimming pool.
00:24 Next, Glasgow City Council has rejected a request from the UK government to dock a barge
00:28 to board asylum seekers. Council leader Susan Aitken said she had refused
00:32 permission in a tweet after the Home Office said it was encouraging local authorities
00:36 to enact the proposal. And in other news, the US chicken giant Popeyes
00:40 has announced it will be opening its first Scottish location in Glasgow.
00:44 The restaurant will open later this year at Barherd Retail Park, making it their 29th
00:48 facility in the UK. And that's the up to date.
