The SNP leader has dismissed suggestions that the idea

:00:07.:00:10.

of a second referendum on independence has

:00:11.:00:15.

Nicola Sturgeon instead re-affirmed her commitment

:00:16.:00:19.

for a campaign to be launched in the summer to change people's

:00:20.:00:22.

However, the Conservative leader said the idea was now firmly

:00:23.:00:25.

Here's our political correspondent Andrew Kerr.

:00:26.:00:28.

The round of Sunday TV interviews draws the election to a close.

:00:29.:00:36.

Nicola Sturgeon needs a minority government but says she will not

:00:37.:00:40.

allow the opposition to block her manifesto promises. Nor has the idea

:00:41.:00:46.

of a second referendum been put to bed. There is a majority of M S Ps

:00:47.:00:51.

who support Scotland becoming independent. It is a ridiculous

:00:52.:00:59.

notion to save the Conservatives who have 20% of the boat, the referendum

:01:00.:01:03.

has taken a step back. Those of us who support independence have a job

:01:04.:01:10.

to do to build the majority support. Her main opponent was also being

:01:11.:01:14.

interviewed. As the S NP prepare for a sum in campaign to prepare people

:01:15.:01:22.

for independence, Ruth Davidson says the idea was off the table. We

:01:23.:01:26.

managed to stop them having a majority. This idea they did not put

:01:27.:01:32.

a clear mandate for a referendum in their manifesto, that takes that

:01:33.:01:40.

second referendum off the table for five years. As the two biggest

:01:41.:01:45.

parties face up to each other, Labour is left trying to refocus on

:01:46.:01:49.

the new look Scottish politics, divided by the Constitution. Up

:01:50.:01:55.

against in the binary situation where we have Unionism versus

:01:56.:02:00.

nationalism, that is a difficult question for the Labour Party. We

:02:01.:02:03.

are not comfortable nationalists or comfortable Unionists. The Labour

:02:04.:02:09.

Party has a problem but we have to come through it. The tour of the TV

:02:10.:02:18.

studios is over. Tomorrow MSPs go to Hollywood as they try to work out

:02:19.:02:24.

their strategy on policy, trying to play each other.

:02:25.:02:25.

Family and friends of a man who died in police custody in Fife say race

:02:26.:02:29.

Police have dismissed any allegations of racism.

:02:30.:02:35.

Relatives of Sheku Bayoh held a memorial service in Kirkcaldy,

:02:36.:02:39.

In their thoughts and hearts, Sheku Bayoh's family gathered to remember

:02:40.:02:56.

him. A year ago he was detained and restrained by officers called to an

:02:57.:03:01.

incident. He died shortly after. His family have campaigned for the truth

:03:02.:03:07.

and fear a cover-up. We are very worried about the racist part that

:03:08.:03:11.

was played in this case, because the way he was injured is just I think

:03:12.:03:21.

racism had to play a big part in it. The 31 you order from Sierra Leone

:03:22.:03:25.

had made Scotland his home. His family have been given five

:03:26.:03:29.

different versions of what happened. A memorial is being held to

:03:30.:03:34.

celebrate the part Sheku Bayoh played in many lives but there is

:03:35.:03:39.

still deep frustration and anger at so many questions unanswered. The

:03:40.:03:44.

family are increasingly tired of the repeated attempts to bully them,

:03:45.:03:49.

silence them into submission and to wait for a fatal accident enquiry.

:03:50.:03:54.

His death has been investigated by the IPC seek his family go back to

:03:55.:03:59.

the Lord Advocate tomorrow still searching for truth and justice.

:04:00.:04:00.

Football, and Celtic confirmed their fifth

:04:01.:04:02.

While Celtic celebrated, today's opponents Aberdeen

:04:03.:04:07.

are league runners-up for the second season running.

:04:08.:04:11.

Sportscene will have weekend highlights right

:04:12.:04:13.

after this bulletin, so if you don't want to know today's

:04:14.:04:16.

In tennis, Andy Murray has lost the Madrid Open in three

:04:17.:04:26.

The Scot fought back to win the second set 6-3,

:04:27.:04:31.

but lost by the same score in the deciding third set.

:04:32.:04:35.

Murray was defending his Madrid title, but tonight's defeat means

:04:36.:04:39.

he loses his world number two ranking to Roger Federer.

:04:40.:04:45.

It's over to Christopher now with the weather outlook

:04:46.:04:47.

It has been the warmest day of the year so far in Scotland, 24 degrees

:04:48.:05:02.

on the coast and Ayrshire. There will be some low cloud tonight and

:05:03.:05:06.

at times through the central moments. Tomorrow morning, a bright

:05:07.:05:11.

start but there will be cloud here and there. Temperatures in places

:05:12.:05:18.

already into the mid teens. Cooler in the east. You can see some of

:05:19.:05:23.

that low cloud sitting in the Moray Firth but it will burn back far

:05:24.:05:29.

quicker than it did today. Monday morning, dry, fine and bright and

:05:30.:05:34.

sunny. Lovely conditions and warm sunshine. Let's take a look across

:05:35.:05:43.

the UK. Some clickers thicker cloud in the south with outbreaks of rain.

:05:44.:05:52.

Plenty of sunshine in Scotland. Taking a closer look at the warmest

:05:53.:05:58.

part of the day, temperatures in the West 24. Cooler in the East but

:05:59.:06:06.

still mid to high teens. Choose day and more cloud around for central

:06:07.:06:10.

and eastern parts of Scotland but funny in the West. Cloudy with rain

:06:11.:06:15.

across parts of England. That rain just about reaching the four. On

:06:16.:06:17.

Wednesday but to the North, more just about reaching the four. On

:06:18.:06:22.

sunshine, temperatures close to 20 degrees.

:06:23.:06:23.
