growth. Join me now on and 11 in Scotland.

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

The high street chain BHS is to be wound down,

16 stores in Scotland are to have closing-down sales.

While administrators continue to look for buyers, at least 800

Aileen Clarke has been speaking to shoppers.

At BHS in Glasgow's Sauchiehall Street, it's latest sale

was still attracting customers this afternoon.

But the next sale will be of a closing-down variety and that

has come as disappointing news to many shoppers.

It is a shame nobody can actually rescue it

because I think it is a good shop, and as well as getting clothes

for myself, you can get it for the babies and guys and things

It is just because it was always there.

I get all of my bedding sort of stuff, household stuff

from British Home Stores, so it will be a big loss.

We buy clothes, my aunt and I in it, quite a lot.

BHS has been a fixture on our high streets and in our shopping

There are 16 Scottish stores employing hundreds of staff.

The announcement today comes despite attempts

BHS has tried to accommodate the move towards more online

shopping, it has even tried to harness the cult of celebrity

with a specialised range of homeware and baby clothes.

But efforts like these, it seems, have not been enough to make it

It is never really somewhere I have shopped.

But it is never nice when something of that size goes with so many

What about yourself, madam, is it a shop you would shop in?

Not personally but my nanna would shop in there.

Ever since I was young I can remember that BHS

The grey pound however is not enough to retain a good old-fashioned

department store in the current cutthroat retail climate.

Earlier, I spoke to our business and economy editor, Douglas Fraser,

who was outside one of the biggest BHS stores in Scotland.

Fashion is a notoriously fickle business and to keep up you have to

keep the range of causing fresh and your brand attractive to shoppers.

You have to have a strong online presence, particularly in the face

of very, very tough competition. This kind of market for family value

clothing and home, it has come in from stores like Primark and some of

the big stores moving into the kind of market that BHS has dominated in

many town centres for a long time. The other factor that has been going

on is the management of it. Recent orders have taken a great deal of

profit and rent out of BHS but not invested much of that and left a

large hall in the pension fund that will need rested. The other factor

is that if you take a city centre location like this in Glasgow, I can

Clydebank and Kilmarnock were BHS has been the anchor store and bought

districts. Nicola Sturgeon has promised

an inquiry to find out if more could have been done to prevent

the death of the toddler Liam Fee. But she told MSPs that the only

people responsible were the two Here's our political

editor, Brian Taylor. Nicola Sturgeon arrived ready for

questions on education. She arrived ready

for questions on jobs. But the First Minister also knew

that one image alone has dominated Scottish discourse -

that of two-year-old Liam Fee, murdered by his mother

and her partner. The toddler's tragically

short life ended here, And so it fell to the newly-elected

MSP for that constituency But will the First Minister

assure me that once this review is concluded,

all relevant facts pertaining to Liam's short life

and his untimely death will be placed in the public domain and that

any failings of the relevant organisations involved will be

dealt with robustly? Nicola Sturgeon said

there was a Case Review under The First Minister urged publication

of the eventual report to drive She said the murder had also

prompted a fresh look at Scotland's entire child protection network,

including the prospect of implementing reforms

already suggested. But she also reminded MSPs that

primary blame must lie with Nyomi and Rachel Fee,

convicted of the toddler's murder. The only people responsible

for the death of Liam Fee are the people who were

convicted of his murder. But there are questions rightly

being asked about whether there is any more that the system

could or should have done Those questions must be examined

in detail and answers must be given and that is what will now happen

in the weeks and months The question session

was different today. Longer, more opportunity

for backbenchers to participate. But alongside this freshness,

this openness, lingering thoughts A 15-year-old boy has been arrested

in connection with hoax bomb threats The arrest follows incidents

in Glasgow, Clydebank, Last week, pupils were moved out

of some school buildings Royal Troon Golf Club has brought

forward a vote on whether to admit women members

before this year's Open. It follows Muirfield's

removal from the Open rota, after the East Lothian club voted

against admitting women. Chris McLaughlin

reports from Troon. In the Ayrshire sunshine,

Royal Troon prepares for the 140th Royal Open Championship,

yes, but also for an historic vote that could see membership of this

exclusive club opened all. Internally, we have a very

harmonious and comfortable relationship with the ladies golf

club of Troon and neither of us wishes any change,

but both clubs recognise that the world has moved

on and that it is important that we reflect that in society

and that we also are part of that A course steeped in history,

the game's great support the course and celebrated

success down the ages. And it is with those memories

and traditions in mind that this club is looking to change,

and some say, modernise. They know if they continue

to exclude women, the R, the Royal and Ancient,

will take away their championship status but there is also a financial

element of the vote. Members have been told their fees

could double if they lose out Something that has happened

to Muirfieldafter they voted no It has become a bigger issue

in the past five to ten years, when The Open Championship can't be

going to men only clubs Muirfield made the decision,

let's hope that is reversed The Royal Troon, let's hope

they will make the right decision, Women can play Troon,

but what about the traditions I don't think that the traditions

are off-putting, in some sense the traditions

are the foundation of this sport, so you can take them

for what they are. Would you two like to be

members of Royal Troon? We are not golfers, not

particularly, it is too expensive Royal Troon says it is finally open

to change and it The European Aviation Safety Agency

has ordered the grounding of two types of Super Puma helicopters

in the wake of April's crash It follows the discovery of evidence

of metal fatigue in fragments found Iain Stuart from Aberdeenshire

was among those killed in the crash. Nine people rescued after a yacht

caught fire off Shetland this The incident happened around 50

miles south-west of the islands. All those on board abandoned

the yacht and were picked up They landed unharmed

in Scalloway Harbour There's only one more day for people

to respond to a consultation on whether Air Passenger Duty

should be halved. The duty, which is paid as part

of airplane tickets, But it will be devolved

to Holyrood next year. The Government here would

like to cut it in half, There is at the final call for Air

Passenger Duty? That portion of a plane ticket that goes directly to

the Government's offers. A consultation on the subject ends on

Friday and these high-flyers from the aviation industry have said that

cutting the tax would be good for the aviation industry have said that

business. For every 1 million additional passengers, it has an

additional ?200 million benefit to the economy which is significant.

Every aircraft we place will increase the number of crew that we

employ locally and we employ them on local contracts, we do not employ

people from the rest of Europe. Only locally which will improve

employment. The Scottish Government agrees. Even

though it is a significant source of revenue. Air Passenger Duty

generates around ?300 million every year for the Scottish Government and

critics have said that at a time of prosperity that money is so be

needed. They have also said that because of climate change the

government should be deterring people from flying, not encouraging

them by making it even cheaper. It people from flying, not encouraging

is a difficult balancing act. So are these travellers in favour?

Absolutely, yes, we travel a lot. My daughter lives in Canada, that would

help a lot. We should do everything possible to try and tackle climate

change. That is what would be the overriding concern.

Not for me. The Government has said it is on course to cut climate

emissions by 2020 but some environmentalists are dubious.

A blanket cut on tax on aviation will increase the number of

passengers and that is going to increase the number of greenhouse

gas emissions from aviation. We have seen huge growth in this area

gas emissions from aviation. We have despite a PDA, we do not need to cut

it. Environmentally and economically we do not think we can afford it.

The SNP are determined to get this measure through parliament but as a

minority government they might find that opposition parties keep them

grounded. -- APD. Now, it's over to Kirsteen

with the weather outlook Thank you, Sally. And look beautiful

day across the West of Scotland. This is where we will have the

clearest skies overnight. Otherwise it is looking rather cloudy and we

will have some fairly light and affecting much of the North with

some misty and murky conditions. Enter tomorrow morning then, much of

the East and across the North under a fair amount of cloud. Across parts

of Dumfries and Galloway for much of the Glasgow area, Argyll and through

much of the North West Highlands as well we will have clear blue skies

greeting is once again tomorrow morning. Across the lights of

bullets and into Sutherland, kidneys and much of the North East, it is a

much cloudier prospect with some light and patchy rain. Shetland

fares better in terms of drier weather tomorrow morning although

feeling chilly here with brisk North easterly winds. Looking at the UK as

a whole as he go through tomorrow, we will see some further been across

Eastern and Northern Scotland. Some of that could be on the heavy side

with the odd rumble of thunder not out of the question. Some rain will

feed into the Newcastle area, East Yorkshire and East Anglia, and also

feed into the Newcastle area, East the London area. It will put chilly

once again along the Eastern coast. The West fears best in terms of the

sunshine again enter tomorrow afternoon, with height of around 21

Celsius. Enter the evening across Scotland, Carl Cawston into Western

areas with some light and patchy rain. Perhaps becoming that bit

drier and brighter across the far North, Eastern areas will hold onto

misty and murky conditions. Into Saturday, there will be a fair

misty and murky conditions. Into amount of sunshine around.

Especially across Scotland. With the warmth across parts of England and

Wales, there will be a few sharp showers. One or two showers across

Scotland at times with his 23 Celsius. Sunday, plenty of sunshine

to come. Temperatures peaking at 24, 20 five Celsius. Chilly for the

Eastern coast. Our next update is during Breakfast
