Here, on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.

Shell has announced it's to cut 475 North Sea jobs, most of them

Some posts offshore and at its plants at Mossmorran

in Fife and St Fergus in Aberdeenshire will

Shell says the decision is because of restructuring following the

merger of the BG Group and the continued problems caused by the low

oil price. Staff at its headquarters in Aberdeen where informed this

morning. 475 jobs will go. Most of them are in that building. A number

of jobs around 40 will go offshore and there will be some job losses at

Shell's plans at Mossmorran in Fife. And at St Fergus on the

Aberdeenshire coast. 12,500 boys will be lost by the end of this

year. The man in charge of running shell and the UK says it is part of

an improvement journey. The engagement we had has been

outstanding from employees, the support in terms of driving

efficiency in the North Sea over Do you think the people

who are being made redundant Clearly there is uncertainty

for people and we will try to minimise that period

until we make the selection of the UK and Scottish Government

offered help to those who will be made redundant

as well as reiterating help The unions, the offshore unions,

are calling for a summit to be held because there is a feeling that

in spite of the task forces that had been set up, the funding being put

in place, it is not doing anything The First Minister,

Nicola Sturgeon, is to convene She told the Scottish Parliament

improving education would be the "defining mission"

of her government. From Holyrood, here's our political

correspondent, Glenn Campbell. With the new Eduction Secretary

by her side, Nicola Strugeon arrives to set out the priorities

of the SNP's third term in power. The defining mission of this

government will be education. That is because we want every child

to have a fair chance in life and we know that a good education

is the foundation of that. She is promising standardised

assessment of pupils And a summit on school reform

and improving attainment, with invitations

to all party leaders. I want our work to close

the attainment gap to be the mission not just of this government

or even of this Parliament The Conservatives back plans to give

schools more local control, but oppose the SNP's commitment

to keeping university tuition free. Education should be the best way

to change lives for the better, but the SNP's middle-class giveaways

means that those who have most to gain from life-changing chances

are those that have been most harmed Labour wants the Government to raise

more cash for schools SNP members sit on the Government

benches in this Parliament with the power to act,

the power to stop the cuts, Plans to bring back testing

in primary and the early years On educational attainment,

I think all parties have recognised But the case for standardised

testing, I do not think, has been fully made,

and we will continue to question The Education Secretary John Swinney

is to publish a draft delivery Consultations, summits,

anything but action to make a change Other Government priorities include

building 50,000 affordable homes. Recruiting 500 extra health

visitors. And doubling free childcare for

three-year-olds and four-year-olds. Nicola Sturgeon has also drawn

inspiration from the Labour, Green and Liberal Democrat

manifestoes because having fallen short of an overall majority

in parliament, she knows that she needs a little help

from her political rivals Glenn Campbell, Reporting Scotland,

Holyrood. The lawyer for one of the women

accused of murdering two-year-old Liam Fee has told a jury Nyomi Fee

was guilty of a catastrophic failure of care towards the toddler,

but he said she did not murder him. Nyomi Fee can be seen

here on the right. Her lawyer said she had accepted

she made some terrible mistakes in her treatment of Liam

and that she and her partner Rachel He said this was a terrible case and

had been distressing and harrowing. Mark Stewart said Nyomi Fee admitted

failing to get help for Liam when she suspected he had

a broken leg. He said it was dreadful

and unforgivable, a catastrophic failure of care but he said that

Liam did not die of a broken leg and there was no evidence suggesting

Nyomi Fee had inflicted the fatal Mark Stewart talked at length

about another boy whom Nyomi and Rachel Fee are accused

of falsely blaming for Liam's death. He said the unpalatable truth

was that this boy had killed Liam. He suggested the child had sexually

assaulted him and that he had a motive violent and had admitted

violent conduct towards the toddler. Mr Stewart said it was in trying

to deal with the behaviour of this child that the couple took a wrong

turn that led them The court once again heard the 999

call made by Nyomi Fee Both accused cried in the dock

as the operator was heard to talk Nyomi through on how to perform

CPR on Liam. Mr Stewart asked the jury

to consider whether this was stage-managed for effect

or whether this was the genuine response of someone

trying to save a child. He said to the jury of Nyomi Fee,

"You don't have to approve of her, sympathise with her or like her,"

but he said they must acquit her of assaulting

and murdering Liam because the Crown Rachel Fee's lawyer will give his

closing speech to the jury tomorrow. Both accused deny murdering Liam

and abusing two other children. Lisa Summers, Reporting Scotland

at the High Court in Livingston. A woman has appeared in court

charged with murdering Sadia Ahmed is accused of killing

Inayah Ahmed at her home in Glasgow's Drumchapel area

on the 17th of April. The 26-year-old is accused

of "restricting her breathing". The child died three

days later in hospital. Miss Ahmed appeared in private

at Glasgow Sheriff Court, where she made no plea or declaration,

and was remanded in custody. Sales of alcohol in Scotland have

increased for the second year On average, enough alcohol is sold

for every adult to drink 41 bottles of vodka a year,

or almost 500 pints of beer. Our health correspondent

Eleanor Bradford reports. The best measure of how much

we really drink is the amount And it is on the rise after almost

a decade of decline. Last year the equivalent of 11

litres of pure alcohol was sold That is the same as 41 bottles

of vodka each or 116 Enough for every one of us to exceed

safe drinking limits every week. What we have found today is more

alcohol is being sold through supermarkets

and off-licences and the levels have reached their highest

since 1994 when records began. This coincides with a flattening

of the price of alcohol sold We know that price is a key driver

of consumption, so we think both As prices in bars and restaurants

keep on rising, more of us Cocktails or Prosecco at

home. That is it. If you are going on a night out,

we tend to drink in the house and go I think we spend more money drinking

at home and then going out, instead of buying

drinks when we go out. We've just come from a champagne

afternoon tea, that is the irony! we had a few glasses, but that was

it. It is the cheapest drinks

which are drunk to harmful levels and the Scottish Government says

imposing a minimum price on alcohol But the whiskey industry

are still opposed to that. Whether a year or two of data

constitutes a trend, we will wait Drinking habits are closely linked

to the economy, we drink more when we have more

money in our pockets. Whether minimum pricing would break

that cycle is still hotly debated. A man who ran towards the Rangers

goalkeeper after the Scottish Cup final against Hibs at the weekend

has pleaded guilty to a charge under the Offensive

Behaviour At Football Act. The court heard you're deeply

ashamed, is that the case? Leaving Glasgow Sheriff Court today

Greg Brinee made no comment. But on Saturday after the final

whistle at the Scottish Cup final, Today he pled guilty to climbing

over fencing onto the pitch, running towards the Rangers

goalkeeper and gesticulating The court was told that he was

deeply ashamed and threats had The sheriff told Binney

he was being convicted under the offensive behaviour

at football act. And that sentence would be deferred

until a background report had been done.

He said he would consider the request from the ground

Meanwhile, in another court room, another

19-year-old appeared on charges also related to the pitch

19-year-old Dale Pryde from Edinburgh is accused of running

towards and attempting to punch the Rangers players,

Lee Wallace and Jason Holt and running onto the pitch

towards Rangers supporters, brandishing a chair.

He was released on bail and will appear back
