Good evening. More organisations have announced they are quitting the | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
CBI because the business lobby group is backing a No Vote in September's | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
independence referendum. Two Scottish Government agencies, | :00:16. | :00:16. | |
Scottish Enterprise and VisitScotland, are the latest to | :00:17. | :00:25. | |
withdraw their membership. The CBI has made no secret of its | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
anti-independence stance. Last month, in its analysis of the White | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
Paper, it said the Scottish Government's economic plan didn't | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
add up. Its decision to register with electoral commission as a | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
supporter of better together, was a step too far for some of members. | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
Yesterday, STV left the CBI singles on impartiality meant it had no | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
choice. The broadcaster followed the playgroup, whose owner also chairs | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
the pro-independence organisation. They have not gone through a | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
democratic process. I discussed this with the membership. They believe | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
they have a mandate through the council in CBI Scotland but again, | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
while two council members have said they can't members being discussed | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
or voted on. I challenge the CBI to produce evidence that they went | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
through a democratic process to come to this decision. The body | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
responsible for boosting tourism, VisitScotland along with Scottish | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
Enterprise, have also resigned. The Scottish Government has said it | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
clearly inappropriate for government agencies to retain membership of the | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
group. The CBI issued a statement saying: | :01:38. | :01:54. | |
the executive board of Glasgow Caledonian University is meeting to | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
consider its position next week. Other CBI members are expected to | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
follow suit. A 40-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
death of a woman after a disturbance in a flat in East Ayrshire. The body | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
of 46-year-old Elaine Duncan was found in the property on Loudoun | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
Road in Newmilns on Friday night. A motorcyclist has died after crashing | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
his bike on the Isle of Skye this morning. The 33-year-old man was | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
pronounced dead at the scene after the accident on the A87. It's | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
understood no other vehicles were involved. A driver who was involved | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
in a crash on the Friarton Bridge in Perth last night was traced three | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
hours later with a serious head injury. His condition isn't believed | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
to be life-threatening. Now, they call it urban art but is it really | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
when it's in the countryside? In Dumfries and Galloway, huge | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
Banksy-type murals have been appearing on buildings across the | :02:48. | :02:48. | |
region. Will he Johnston reports. Urban street graffiti. Whatever you | :02:49. | :03:01. | |
call it, it's big, bold and highly visible. In the village, Beverley | :03:02. | :03:12. | |
gave these girls free rein to spice up her shed walls. We thought would | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
be nice, lots of colour, lots of people would hopefully see the work | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
that they do. I'm going to pull that back, that Chevron. It's painting | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
everybody knows about thanks to the underground graffiti artist, Banksy. | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
A few people shout to us and say, I'm going to call the police. They | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
are joking. Or they say, is it Banksy? The fact that every person | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
who passes us knows who he is is phenomenal. A few miles away, | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
Catherine puts the finishing touches to a mural on a pottery. More used | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
to painting life studies and portraits on canvas, this was in | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
every sense a big challenge. I think the time involved, working outside | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
physically, actually, going up and down ladders, shaking hands, holding | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
it all in your head, how it's going to work, it's difficult and been a | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
challenge. Six murals are being created as a prelude to next | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
month's arts and Craft weekend across Dumfries Galloway. Alfresco | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
after taking the open studio concept to a whole new level. Well, once | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
again, most of Scotland has been enjoying lovely holiday weather. | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
These were the scenes in Edinburgh this afternoon. The sun was shining, | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
though the breeze was keeping things cool on Portobello beach where | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
jumpers were required. Though not enough to deter anyone. So question | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
is, will the weather last for Easter Monday? Here's the woman with the | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
answers. Kawer's got the forecast for this evening and the start of | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
the week. Thanks, Sally. It's all changing tomorrow but we can only | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
appreciate the weather we've had today when you compare it to the | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
rest of the UK. For us, glorious sunshine, | :05:01. | :05:11. | |
temperatures 16-17. You can see mist and low cloud edging towards the | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
east coast and for the rest of the evening, it will continue to edge in | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
further inland bringing much more cloud of the central belt. Turning | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
quite cool, touch of frost. By the early hours, temperatures | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
recovering, 5-6. For tomorrow, the mist and low fog will linger. There | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
will be breaks in the afternoon to allow sunny spells, especially for | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
the Western Isles and temperatures still quite cool along East Coast, | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
around 10 Celsius. To the West, 13 - 16 at best but then we look ahead to | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
Easter Monday and Tuesday. Low pressure bringing big cloud and | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
outbreaks of rain, so we will see some sunshine. Cloudier with rain to | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
end the day. And that's all for now. We are back after 10pm. Good | :05:58. | :05:58. | |
evening. Hello. Well, it was another lovely | :05:59. | :06:12. | |
sunny day across the north of the UK. What a difference over the | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
south. The rain set in | :06:15. | :06:15. |
