My news report

Hello, everyone my name is Leonei Coates and today I will be reporting on giant plants taking over Scotland.

There has been tragic incident in Scotland. Earlier today a unidentified object crashed into the Firth of Forth, narrowly missing the iconic rail bridge. Shortly after, only what can be described as gigantic plants emerged from the waters and made there way on to land.

All over Fife and Edinburgh there are living plants attacking the human population. Currently the death toll stands at 27. They are attacking houses, local building and any people getting in there way.

There are destroyed buildings and people screaming all over the place. The police are searching all council buildings and houses that are near the plants. There are people warning everybody to stay inside there house or any building that they are in. The emergency services are warning the public not to approach the plants and remain indoors.

We are warning other towns not to travel to us and we are stopping all traffic coming over the bridges. We are also signalling for help. We have the police, fire brigade and all ambulances supporting us but we need more, lots more, help.

Keep tuned for further information, I am Leonei Coates signing off for SKYTVNEWS. Thanks for watching, bye.
