devastating. To have a child as young as that for this to happen.

Everyone is just heartbroken. Just detail. -- just a child. It brings

it home, especially when you have a child of your own. It is a tragedy.

:01:14.:01:20.

There has been a steady police presence with officers at the

A motor cyclist has died in a collision with a car on the A9 in

:01:59.:02:02.

Perthshire, which has closed the road in both directions. It happened

:02:03.:02:05.

on the southbound carriageway of the Perth to Inverness road, near the

:02:06.:02:08.

House of Bruar, just before midday. There are long delays and the road

:02:09.:02:12.

is likely to remain closed for some time.

:02:13.:02:14.

Three Scottish universities have become the latest organisations to

:02:15.:02:16.

quit an influential business group, because it's backing the pro-Union

:02:17.:02:19.

campaign in the independence referendum. Aberdeen, Glasgow and

:02:20.:02:21.

Edinburgh universities have left the Confederation of British Industry

:02:22.:02:24.

because they all want to maintain a public position of neutrality, ahead

:02:25.:02:27.

of September's vote. They've followed the broadcaster STV,

:02:28.:02:29.

Aquamarine Power and the Balhousie Care Group.

:02:30.:02:41.

After a weekend of spring sunshine there may be a few pink faces around

:02:42.:02:45.

but Scots are endangering their health if they're not listening to

:02:46.:02:48.

warnings about the sun. According to Cancer Research UK, in the last

:02:49.:02:51.

forty years the number of people diagnosed with malignant melanoma,

:02:52.:02:54.

has more than quadrupled in Scotland. Suzanne Allan reports.

:02:55.:03:09.

These tender moments with her family are something Caroline may never

:03:10.:03:13.

have had. At 26 she did not expect to be diagnosed with malignant

:03:14.:03:18.

melanoma. I was quite shocked at the time, I was annoyed and disappointed

:03:19.:03:23.

with myself because it had been dropped on by vanity, sitting in the

:03:24.:03:27.

sun and I was a regular sunbed user. I was quite annoyed I had brought

:03:28.:03:31.

this upon myself and obviously I would have to get surgery and have

:03:32.:03:35.

been left with a scar because of that. She is one of a growing number

:03:36.:03:39.

of people being diagnosed with the disease. A report today by Cancer

:03:40.:03:44.

research UK shows a dramatic increase in rates of skin cancer. It

:03:45.:03:49.

has been a lovely Easter weekend and it is probably the first time most

:03:50.:03:52.

of us have had our T-shirts and shorts on. According to Cancer

:03:53.:03:56.

research UK we are not heeding the warnings. In the past 40 years,

:03:57.:04:02.

rates of malignant melanoma have quadrupled in Scotland. In the

:04:03.:04:06.

mid-1970s and hundred and 90 people were diagnosed with it every year.

:04:07.:04:12.

Now, and 1200 people are diagnosed with this, the most serious form of

:04:13.:04:18.

skin cancer, every year in Scotland. The rise is partly due to an

:04:19.:04:21.

explosion in package holidays, even in sunbed use and better protection.

:04:22.:04:28.

But are we winning enough sunscreen? All year round I would wear a

:04:29.:04:33.

something on my face to protect my face. I may have done it if I was

:04:34.:04:38.

going hill walking or if I knew I was going to be outside for a long

:04:39.:04:46.

time. I never lose it. Carolyn has changed her attitude towards having

:04:47.:04:49.

completely. Wear a hat, teacher and sunglasses when the sun has a hat,

:04:50.:04:52.

teacher and sunglasses when the sun is strong and always use a factor of

:04:53.:04:54.

at least 15. A number of football clubs are

:04:55.:04:57.

proposing a shift in power within the game. These could lead to major

:04:58.:05:01.

changes in how the sport is governed in Scotland. Tomorrow, the Scottish

:05:02.:05:04.

Football Association and the Scottish Professional Football

:05:05.:05:06.

League will meet to discuss the situation. The proposals include

:05:07.:05:09.

changing the election of office bearers and how finance within the

:05:10.:05:11.

game is controlled. Judith is here with the weather

:05:12.:05:13.

outlook. Just reflecting on what we have seen

:05:14.:05:23.

during the course of today, wall-to-wall sunshine. The quote is

:05:24.:05:29.

burning even Shetland. The high pressure that has been responsible

:05:30.:05:34.

for this begins to move away, allowing visible pressure to come in

:05:35.:05:38.

from the new continent. Usually we take our winner from the Atlantic

:05:39.:05:41.

but for the next few days we will see some rain coming in from the

:05:42.:05:46.

North Sea. Through tonight we have some fine evening sunshine on offer,

:05:47.:05:50.

we will see Mr" return to the Northern Isles in eastern areas in

:05:51.:05:57.

the East Coast. Some rain will show its hand across the east by the end

:05:58.:06:00.

of the night. Temperatures will be allowed five degrees and the wind on

:06:01.:06:04.

the call will be on the light side but gusty at pains in coastal areas.

:06:05.:06:11.

Calder, too, across the Northwest. There will be a largely dry start in

:06:12.:06:15.

the North with outbreaks of rain pushing in close eastern Scotland,

:06:16.:06:19.

extending through the central lowlands. As it moves west it will

:06:20.:06:24.

become late and patchy in nature. The driest conditions with easy

:06:25.:06:27.

sunshine will be across the north-west Highlands. Shetland is

:06:28.:06:35.

not feeling too badly. It will tend to become cloudy across many parts

:06:36.:06:38.

of the country. Temperatures fuming cool across eastern areas under that

:06:39.:06:43.

cloud and rain, ten or 11 degrees. Not feeling too bad. The outlook for

:06:44.:06:47.

the week is it will stay predominantly unsettled the week is

:06:48.:06:49.

it will stay predominantly unsettled with rain at times.

:06:50.:06:51.

And that's all from Reporting Scotland for now. I'll be back with

:06:52.:06:56.

the late bulletin just after the ten o'clock news. Until then, goodbye.
