00:00 Hi there, welcome back to EdinburghNews.com. I'm Rhoda Morrison, I'm the editor here at
00:07 the Edinburgh Evening News and I'm going to run through just some of the main headlines
00:10 from the day so far. Cash and jewellery have been taken during a daylight break-in on Tuesday
00:17 which happened at a Bathgate property. Entry was gained to the property in Elizabeth Drive
00:22 at some point between half past twelve and one in the afternoon and several items were
00:27 taken from inside. More than a million tickets have been sold during the first week of the
00:33 Edinburgh Fringe, organisers have announced. Ticket sales are believed to be running well
00:38 ahead of last year's festival which attracted an overall audience of about 2.2 million.
00:46 And finally, as the Book Festival gets underway this weekend, we've taken a look at some of
00:50 the Edinburgh pubs which have literary links. You can take a look through the pubs which
00:54 have inspired vitals from Robert Burns to Ian Rankin up on our website now. If you've
01:00 got a story that you think we should be covering or that you want to let us know about, please
