The retiring presiding officer congratulates her constituency

Ms Marwick urges MSPs to live up to the fresh challenge.

The one thing about the people of Scotland,

it is up to them to make sure they fulfil the

wishes and hopes of the people of Scotland.

It is for the parliamentarians to deal with it.

This was always meant to deliver a coalition Administration.

There will be a new residing officer next

The deputy leader of the Scottish Labour Party,

Alex Rowley, has told the BBC that he believes his

independence camps represented by the SNP and the Tories.

He says Labour now has to find a new approach and look at home rule

The Labour Party cannot stand by on the sidelines. You believe it should

be a federal position? Absolutely. With the Holyrood election behind

us, the politicians are already out on the campaign trail for the next

big national vote. The referendum on the United

Kingdom's place in or out of the European Union is just over

six weeks away. The battle's been raging

within the UK government, and today, Whitehall and Westminster stepped it

up in Scotland. Our business and economy editor,

Douglas Fraser, reports One campaign done, three days later,

the politicians are back fortifying Those sightings of

Whitehall ministers Liz Truss visited this

whiskey distillery in East Lothian, meeting bosses

and emphasising the role What the Out campaign have said

is they want separate regulations here in

the UK than Europe. to follow UK regulations,

then they would have to follow EU regulations which we

would have no say over. It would mean extra hassle,

more red tape, not less red tape, and it

means there would be less whiskey exported and fewer

jobs here in Scotland. The way the campaign has been

going on Westminster and across England has not impressed the SNP's

foreign affairs spokesman. The former First

Minister took his case for remaining in the EU

to Brussels today. The Remain campaign has

been very dispiriting. You cannot galvanise or motivate

people on negatives. 21 months on from that referendum,

there will not need to be much One Tory MP was keen to emphasise

the benefits of small Have you looked at what is

happening in Iceland, for The Icelandics, a small country,

they are selling their fish They are global traders

because they are As for the whiskey

industry, its appeal crosses boundaries and

political divisions. The reason Scottish whiskey does

so well and sells on the continent, is because it is

a very good product. In France, they sell more bottles

than they do of If we come out of the EU,

they will still want to buy There are six weeks until this

result is uncorked. Scotland's focus turns

to a new campaign this week, with questions to be distilled

around the identity. We can expect more

politicians to head north of the border but we cannot expect them

to agree with each other. A friend of two women accused

of murdering Liam Fee has told a court they "knew

they were going to jail". Sean Catherall said Rachel

and Nyomi Fee told him they didn't murder Liam but they would be

going to jail for neglect. The couple deny murdering two year

old Liam and blaming his They also deny harming

two other boys. Sean Catherall said Rachel

and Nyomi Fee had stayed with him They said another boy

strangled the toddler but he said the women

said they were always The jury were told hat the women had

been googling injuries He said they all went to a pub

to chat about what had He said both women were distraught

and some crazy things had He said there was not much chat

about Liam, but they used horrible words to describe

the other young boy, pretty much saying he

was Mr Taylor said that the women said

they would go to jail for neglect. He said Rachel asked would they get

a He said they knew they were in

trouble but they did she had significant concerns

about Liam's Matt levels The doctor examined the boy in 2013

because of concerns about Rachel and Nyomi Fee

deny murdering the boy. Mortgage arrears in the Aberdeen

area have more than tripled following the collapse in the oil

price, according to the credit They've jumped to 5.5%, double

the figure for the rest of the UK. Their report says arrears could rise

even further, as volatility in the oil industry

increases unemployment 75 years ago tomorrow,

one of the strangest episodes of the Second World War

took place in Scotland. Late in the evening,

a German plane crashed The pilot turned out to be Hitler's

deputy Rudolph Hess, who was on a secret mission,

the details of which have He flew from Bavaria

straight to Scotland, With the plane out of fuel,

Rudolf Hess bailed out just before A farmer detained him before

the Home Guard took him to Glasgow. There, Hess asked for and was

granted a meeting with the Duke of Hamilton, a senior RAF officer

who Hess believed wrongly He gave a false name to everybody

else but revealed his true identity to my father and when my father

reported to Churchill, 40 years ago, James Douglas

Hamilton's book was regarded as the definitive

account of the incident. He believed Hess came without

Hitler's knowledge to try and get Britain out of the war,

not for the sake of peace, but because Germany planned

to attack Russia and Hess did not believe they could

win an two fronts. A version of events Hess

did not deny. It was put to him, points made

in my book about him, and he did not deny what I had said,

which is he wanted to get Britain out of the war before

Germany attacked Russia. And he also accepted that he had

never met my father before The book is republished

for the 75th anniversary, with additional information released

under a Freedom of Information request, but other

documents remain secret. Hess was convicted of war crimes

at Nuremberg and spent the rest The Duke of Hamilton

described his meeting with a Nazi as a four-day wonder,

but the mystery surrounding it has After a glorious day, let's get the

weather. Glorious for most of the country, in fact, the warmest day of

the year so far here in Scotland, 37 degrees in some areas, and quite

widely the mid-20s in the West. -- 27 degrees in some areas. It is dry

for most nights but there will be some mist forming around North Sea

coasts. Tomorrow morning, there could be some low clouds through

central and eastern parts of the country. Plenty of sunshine to start

the day, and temperatures for some in the west already at mid teens by

eight o'clock. Low cloud coming in, affecting Inverness, and some cloud

just starting to drift in towards Shetland as well. Tuesday, mist and

low cloud will burn back towards the coast, and an idea of sunshine, dry,

fine, bright and for most. Outbreaks of rain in some areas, a number of

fine, bright and for most. Outbreaks downpours as well. For the North of

the country, sunny and warm sunshine. In the West, 23, 24,

feeling fairly pleasant. On the East Coast, feeling cooler and some cool

air for the capital as well. Wednesday, perhaps a few spot of

rain, but for most of us,, Wednesday, and other fine and dry

day. The rain effecting the Midlands. He'd could trigger one or

two sharp showers. Thursday, wet weather across central parts of the

UK, tending to fizzle and faded. Starting to cool off, in Shetland,

19, maybe 20 in the West, and that trend continues as we head towards

the end of the West. Things are turning to average, and perhaps a
