The First Minister has announced plans to reshape her Cabinet,

:00:00.:00:09.

and to place a renewed emphasis on the economy.

:00:10.:00:12.

Nicola Sturgeon said new tax and welfare powers coming

:00:13.:00:15.

to Holyrood meant she was creating a position of Economy Minister.

:00:16.:00:17.

This from our political editor, Brian Taylor.

:00:18.:00:23.

But unfortunately for the airport, London's new Mayor,

:00:24.:00:26.

John Swinney is number two in Cabinet and will remain so,

:00:27.:00:30.

but there have been other changes and Nicola Sturgeon has said this

:00:31.:00:33.

has not been reflective of past performance, but driven by new

:00:34.:00:36.

This is not a reflection on how these

:00:37.:00:43.

challenges have been dealt with in the past,

:00:44.:00:47.

but this is about the future, the economic future and also

:00:48.:00:52.

the separate finance role, the recognition that we will be

:00:53.:00:58.

preparing for and then dealing with the introduction of new powers on

:00:59.:01:01.

We now move to First Minister's Questions.

:01:02.:01:05.

Nicola Sturgeon also backed a longer session of questions to the First

:01:06.:01:09.

Minister, but she insisted that, despite forming a minority

:01:10.:01:14.

government, the SNP had won the election and were entitled to

:01:15.:01:17.

That's challenged by opposition leaders.

:01:18.:01:26.

They have got to recognise, even though

:01:27.:01:28.

they are a large party, there will have to be

:01:29.:01:30.

they want to see their manifesto go through and it would be reckless if

:01:31.:01:34.

She is in a minority position and she is

:01:35.:01:39.

entitled to try and take her programme forward

:01:40.:01:43.

as the biggest party, but in order to do that,

:01:44.:01:47.

she will have to find support on different issues from

:01:48.:01:49.

Commenting on Labour's poor election, the First Minister said it

:01:50.:01:55.

was difficult to see a way back for the party.

:01:56.:01:58.

Prince Charles, the Duke of Rothesay joined newly

:01:59.:02:06.

elected MSPs at the Kirking of the Scottish Parliament,

:02:07.:02:08.

The traditional church service to bless the new session included

:02:09.:02:13.

interfaith prayers and, for the first time, a secular

:02:14.:02:17.

contribution from the Humanist Society.

:02:18.:02:22.

After the service, the Duke of Rothesay met the party leaders,

:02:23.:02:25.

before attending a reception hosted by the outgoing Presiding Officer.

:02:26.:02:27.

In Westminster, SNP MPs have warned the UK Government the EU referendum

:02:28.:02:32.

should not be a rerun of what they say were Project Fear

:02:33.:02:36.

arguments, deployed in the vote on Scottish independence.

:02:37.:02:40.

The issue has featured prominently in Commons exchanges,

:02:41.:02:42.

where ministers have accused the nationalists of obsessing about

:02:43.:02:45.

Here's our Westminster correspondent, David Porter.

:02:46.:02:53.

Six weeks to go until the EU referendum,

:02:54.:02:57.

and now the Holyrood elections are out of the way,

:02:58.:02:59.

make up for lost time and enter the European fray.

:03:00.:03:06.

Questions to the Secretary of State for Scotland.

:03:07.:03:10.

A tailor-made platform, not an opportunity to be missed.

:03:11.:03:13.

With permission, I would like to answer

:03:14.:03:15.

questions one, two, three, six, seven, and eight, together.

:03:16.:03:22.

On the powerful case for remaining in the EU, will the UK

:03:23.:03:36.

Government concentrate on making a positive and inspiring case

:03:37.:03:38.

to stay, rather than rewarming endless scare stories?

:03:39.:03:44.

Maybe you could undertake to stop obsessing about

:03:45.:03:51.

process and a second Scottish referendum

:03:52.:03:52.

and concentrate entirely on the

:03:53.:03:54.

positive reasons for Scotland remaining in the EU.

:03:55.:03:56.

All Scottish MPs agree, but that does not mean an

:03:57.:03:58.

Can they give reassurance to the Scottish people that all

:03:59.:04:04.

MSPs will be campaigning to stay in the European Union?

:04:05.:04:09.

There are already high levels of support for remaining

:04:10.:04:13.

in the European Union, this could be improved further

:04:14.:04:15.

still if Scottish farmers could be confident they will

:04:16.:04:17.

receive their cap payments when they are supposed to.

:04:18.:04:20.

When we leave the European Union, the Scottish people

:04:21.:04:27.

will have sole control over Scottish fishing waters.

:04:28.:04:38.

It is an undisputable fact that the fishing policy

:04:39.:04:40.

has over the years decimated the Scottish fishing fleet.

:04:41.:04:42.

It will be safer because we don't take the

:04:43.:04:44.

risk with an irreversible separation from which there is no going back.

:04:45.:04:47.

Two years ago he was deployed to keep Scotland in the

:04:48.:04:52.

United Kingdom, and now he is once again arguing for the status quo.

:04:53.:05:03.

We should be a leader in Europe, not simply a member.

:05:04.:05:07.

For many Scots, this campaign and the arguments seem

:05:08.:05:09.

The Prime Minister says he will work with the Scottish Government to find

:05:10.:05:14.

funding for a so-called "City deal" for the Dundee and Tayside area.

:05:15.:05:17.

David Cameron told MPs the deals, which give cities more cash,

:05:18.:05:19.

power and freedom to help economic growth, are working in Scotland.

:05:20.:05:31.

A jury has been shown a film of a woman crying as she was charged

:05:32.:05:34.

with murdering her son, Liam Fee.

:05:35.:05:36.

The footage of Rachel Fee is from August 2014,

:05:37.:05:38.

five months after the toddler was found dead at a house

:05:39.:05:40.

She audibly wept as a police officer read the allegations against her.

:05:41.:05:44.

The High Court in Livingston was also shown a video

:05:45.:05:47.

of the moment her co-accused Nyomi Fee was charged,

:05:48.:05:49.

in which she appeared tearful and put her head in her hands.

:05:50.:05:52.

Rachel and Nyomi Fee deny murdering Liam Fee

:05:53.:05:54.

The biggest oil production ship in the world for harsh waters

:05:55.:06:01.

is about to set sail for the seas off Scotland.

:06:02.:06:04.

The Glen Lyon will anchor in the deep waters of the Atlantic,

:06:05.:06:06.

west of Shetland, and is expected to produce 400 million barrels

:06:07.:06:09.

In the Norwegian fjords, this giant oil-producing ship towers

:06:10.:06:16.

over the traditional painted wooden houses.

:06:17.:06:21.

On board, final checks before it heads to the unforgiving

:06:22.:06:25.

In the high-tech control room, last-minute preparation work

:06:26.:06:35.

is being coordinated, ahead of the final leg.

:06:36.:06:40.

Once we get to western Shetland, we can normally have up to 168

:06:41.:06:43.

So it is more efficient to do the work here.

:06:44.:06:46.

Lots of diving activities on the turret.

:06:47.:06:49.

Lots of work in the ballast tanks, to inspecting those

:06:50.:06:54.

This ship replaces an ageing platform which was decommissioned

:06:55.:06:59.

It can hold 800,000 barrels of oil, enough to fill eight

:07:00.:07:05.

This turret houses the portion of the installation where

:07:06.:07:12.

all of the oil comes up from the seabed.

:07:13.:07:16.

It goes off to machinery which separates it,

:07:17.:07:19.

but this bit here remains fixed to the same spot.

:07:20.:07:23.

The rest of the ship pivots around it on this gap.

:07:24.:07:28.

New technology means it can be taken straight to the refinery

:07:29.:07:31.

in Rotterdam, bypassing the Sullom Voe plant in Shetland.

:07:32.:07:36.

The new man at the helm of BP's North Sea operation says they're

:07:37.:07:39.

committed to operating in this part of the world.

:07:40.:07:50.

How important is the area of the west of Shetland in the future?

:07:51.:07:53.

What the west of Shetland will be to BP in the 2030 decade

:07:54.:07:58.

is what the 40s system was to BP in the 80s and 90s.

:07:59.:08:02.

The Glen Lyon is expected to begin producing oil

:08:03.:08:04.

by the end of this year, and it's predicted to continue

:08:05.:08:06.

Kevin Keane, Reporting Scotland, Norway.

:08:07.:08:13.

Tommy Sheridan was back in court for a second day

:08:14.:08:16.

to defend his ?200,000 defamation win against the defunct News

:08:17.:08:18.

He asked the three judges to dismiss the case.

:08:19.:08:23.

Mr Sheridan said evidence by News Group Newspapers,

:08:24.:08:26.

owners of the tabloid, was illegally and

:08:27.:08:27.

Appeal Court judges are considering whether to overturn

:08:28.:08:32.

An inspection of Scotland's newest prison, which was shaken by a riot

:08:33.:08:37.

just months after opening, has found that some health

:08:38.:08:40.

care staff are worried about their safety.

:08:41.:08:43.

But the report into HMP Grampian in Peterhead also commended the good

:08:44.:08:47.

relations between inmates and prison officers, as John McManus reports.

:08:48.:08:52.

It has been open for only two years, but HMP Grampian, the newest

:08:53.:08:56.

of the 15 prisons in Scotland, had its first disturbance

:08:57.:09:00.

only three months after prisoners first arrived.

:09:01.:09:04.

More than 40 of them barricaded themselves inside a hole

:09:05.:09:09.

and destroyed ?150,000 worth of equipment.

:09:10.:09:16.

The jail has been calm since and the report today says

:09:17.:09:20.

relations between staff and prisoners are good.

:09:21.:09:21.

We found there was a good understanding between

:09:22.:09:24.

We were impressed with the staff, who were committed to supporting

:09:25.:09:28.

the prisoners in their education and training,

:09:29.:09:31.

The report says the accommodation is amongst the best in

:09:32.:09:37.

In any prison, no matter how modern, there are bound to be some issues.

:09:38.:09:51.

Between the inmates themselves and sometimes between them and staff.

:09:52.:09:55.

This report is overwhelmingly positive.

:09:56.:09:56.

But it has raised some serious concerns.

:09:57.:09:58.

The inspection team found that some healthcare staff

:09:59.:10:00.

a problem the governor's promised to address.

:10:01.:10:07.

If you look at the report, it flies in the face

:10:08.:10:10.

of people feeling safe and there are good

:10:11.:10:12.

If that is how NHS staff feel, that is my job and others' to work

:10:13.:10:18.

positively to address those concerns.

:10:19.:10:21.

Some young offenders were removed following the riots,

:10:22.:10:26.

but it is claimed they will return in time.

:10:27.:10:36.

The report also highlighted limited activities for women.

:10:37.:10:40.

There are work parties during the day, but only one for the women.

:10:41.:10:43.

Some room for improvement, but after a shaky start,

:10:44.:10:48.

Football, and there were four games in the Premiership tonight.

:10:49.:10:54.

Hosts Hamilton lost 1-0 against Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

:10:55.:11:01.

Ross County lost 1-3 at home against Motherwell.

:11:02.:11:07.

And in the first leg of the Scottish Championship play

:11:08.:11:09.

off between Stranraer and Ayr United, it was a 1-1 draw.

:11:10.:11:14.

Well, it's over to Anne now with the weather outlook

:11:15.:11:16.

A very good evening. Plenty of warm sunshine in the forecast today. We

:11:17.:11:28.

had the warmest temperature of the whole of the UK, reaching 24 Celsius

:11:29.:11:33.

in the south-west, closely followed by open and the Isle of Skye at 23

:11:34.:11:39.

Celsius. A stark contrast from west to east. The bridges between 13 and

:11:40.:11:47.

15 Celsius here. Overnight, so that mist and fog patches developing for

:11:48.:11:52.

many eastern parts and far north. Further west, clear skies but plenty

:11:53.:11:58.

of dry weather on offer. If you're heading out in the evening --

:11:59.:12:04.

morning, plenty of dry weather to start the day, not a cold start.

:12:05.:12:12.

Perhaps a bit of mist and murkiness in the morning, similarly so I'll be

:12:13.:12:18.

Murray Coast. Sunlight and patchy rain through Shetland but dazzling

:12:19.:12:24.

sunshine through the night Highlands and the Western Isles. With the rest

:12:25.:12:28.

of the morning, that mist and fog will linger along the east coast but

:12:29.:12:32.

will eventually burn away to leave a fine and bright today. Temperature

:12:33.:12:36.

is responding well in the best of the sunshine. A similar story as we

:12:37.:12:41.

look towards the rest of the UK, plenty of sunshine. Temperatures

:12:42.:12:46.

reaching highs of 24 Celsius in and around the London area. Here in

:12:47.:12:50.

Scotland, temperatures of 21 Celsius at best in the west. Always that bit

:12:51.:12:56.

cooler to the east, with a fresh north-easterly breeze. Towards the

:12:57.:13:02.

end of the week, we will be pulling in our masks from the north and that

:13:03.:13:11.

will put a pitch is back. We are looking to see temperatures return

:13:12.:13:17.

to the average for the year. The emphasis is for plenty of dry

:13:18.:13:20.

weather with brightness also. That is your forecast.

:13:21.:13:21.

Our next update is during Breakfast at 6:25 tomorrow morning.

:13:22.:13:24.

But, from everyone on the late team here in Glasgow and around

:13:25.:13:28.
