00:00 Hello and welcome back to edinburghnews.com. I'm Neil Johnston, a reporter at the Edinburgh
00:04 Evening News and these are some of the top stories you can find on our website today.
00:09 We start with some tragic news. A 20-year-old man has been pronounced dead after emergency
00:15 services were called to Princess Street in the early hours of this morning. Police responded
00:20 to reports of an injured man on Princess Street shortly before 4am but the young man sadly died
00:25 at the scene. Police said inquiries remain ongoing but there do not appear to be any suspicious
00:31 circumstances. Sections of Princess Street remain closed with diversions in place for westbound
00:37 buses and trams and police have asked people to avoid the area if they can. Our thoughts are with
00:43 the young man's friends and family. Thousands of children in the capital due to get their flu
00:50 vaccines could be forced to wait until just before Christmas after appointments had to be rescheduled
00:55 following school strikes. At least nine schools affected by strike action in September have had
01:02 to put back the clinics up to two months sparking fears that this will put children at risk of the
01:06 virus. NHS Lothian said that all schools were promptly offered alternative dates before the
01:13 Christmas break. And finally an Edinburgh pub has made it into the top 20 list of most dog-friendly
01:21 bars and restaurants in the UK. The list published by travel website Enjoy Travel set out to showcase
01:28 UK restaurants, cafes and bars with dedicated dog menus, water bowls and dog-loving staff.
01:33 Edinburgh bar The Fountain located in Fountain Park on Dundee Street came in at number 13 on the list.
01:40 In its review of the bar, Edinburgh Travel wrote "here your dog will be treated like any other
01:47 guest" and offered water bowls and treats to help them cool off after a long walk in one of the many
01:51 nearby parks. For all the latest news from Edinburgh and the Lothians you can check out our website at
