Transcript

00:00 Hi there and welcome back to Edinburgh News.com. I'm Rhoda Morrison, I'm the editor here at

00:05 the Evening News and I'm going to run through just some of the main stories from the day

00:08 so far. A controversial Edinburgh traffic scheme

00:12 is transferring cars onto a previously quieter road, critics have said. Residents in Cwstorfan

00:18 say the measures have done nothing to reduce overall traffic volumes or encourage people

00:22 to stop using their cars in the area. A group of Edinburgh residents have won their

00:28 battle with their neighbour over a high hedge which they say blocks sunlight. Barry Rice's

00:33 hedge was reported to the council amid claims that it was dangerous and expensive for them

00:38 to maintain. And finally, a retired sheriff has escaped

00:43 being placed on the sex offenders register after he was caught making sexual and racist

00:47 comments during an online video call. Alistair Duff, who is 69 and from Edinburgh,

00:53 was overheard talking to a friend on his mobile phone about a pornographic movie but later

00:59 realised that his microphone was not on mute. Shocked listeners then reported him to the

01:03 police. If you've got a story that you think we should
