the new Forth bridge falls six months behind schedule | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
What role does the EU play in protecting rights like working | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
We mark Carers' Week by asking if there's enough support | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
for the thousands of people who look after their loved ones. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Neil Lennon is set to become the new boss at Hibernian. | :00:28. | :00:41. | |
Who expected to get Neil Lennon for second mark is like as long as he | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
keeps them up. I don't think we could do any better. -- who expected | :00:49. | :00:59. | |
to get Neil Lennon for Hibs? The festival that proves filmmakers, | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
artists and musicians don't have Good evening. | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
to be creative. Not so long ago, the construction | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
of the new Forth bridge was lauded Today the Scottish government said | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
that adverse weather meant the Queensferry Crossing | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
will now open next May, Opponents have called for assurances | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
that in the meantime the current bridge, which has | :01:22. | :01:37. | |
been beset by problems, It will be the tallest bridge in the | :01:38. | :01:47. | |
UK when it is finished, and the SNP manifesto said that the Queensbury | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
Crossing was on time and under budget. Today, the Government | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
confirmed that bad weather had delayed work. Yellow might the | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
impact of weather in April and May was very severe, with 13 days and 12 | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
days lost to whether respectively. As a result, SC BC have advised | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
ministers that due to the combined effect of the time lost in these two | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
months, they cannot longer deliver the target opening date of December | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
20 16. The Government says there will be no extra cost to the | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
taxpayer due to the delay, and that an error in the opening in November | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
was ambitious. We have to remember the many activities that have to be | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
done, and we now say that they will be done by May 2017, which is still | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
done, and we now say that they will within the contractual period we had | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
agreed, which is June 20 17. The complexity of the operation means it | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
is hard to get back any time lost. It is a big bridge, but are working | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
areas are defined and quite small. The sequence of operation is defined | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
and can't be changed. So, drivers will have to wait longer to use the | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
new crossing, and there are calls for a guaranteed that the existing | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
bridge, which had to close for urgent repairs last year, can take | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
an extra six months of traffic. There can be no repetition of the | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
catastrophic events we saw last year when the bridge was closed for a | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
number of weeks, with huge disruption to businesses and | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
people's life. The contractors say they are working flat out to make | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
sure the bridge opens as soon as possible. That won't be December | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
2016, as had been planned, but by this time next year, traffic should | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
be flowing on the Queensbury Crossing. | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
The EU has agreed to extend the deadline for the payment | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
of subsidies to Scotland's farmers and crofters. | :03:46. | :03:46. | |
The move follows failings with a Scottish Government | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
computer system which has delayed the process. | :03:49. | :03:58. | |
The government was facing fines of tens of millions of pounds if it | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
failed to meet a deadline of June 30th. | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
The new arrangements will mean the it will have another 18 weeks | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
Helicopter operator CHC will no longer fly Super Puma 225s | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
from its Aberdeen base unless customers | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
The announcement comes six days after European aviation safety | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
officials extended the grounding of certain types of Super Pumas | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
Signs of metal fatigue were found in components after a crash | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
off Norway in April that killed 13 people. | :04:23. | :04:33. | |
Commonwealth Games silver medallist Stephanie Inglis has | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
held her father's hand for the first time since waking from a coma. | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
The 27-year-old judo player from Inverness was placed | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
in an induced coma after suffering head injuries in a motorbike | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
She's now being treated in a hospital in Thailand. | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
Almost ?300,000 has been raised for her care, | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
after her travel insurance was deemed invalid. | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
To the European referendum now, and the latest in our series putting | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
The EU guarantees certain minimum rights in the workplace, | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
from working hours to maternity leave and protection | :05:03. | :05:03. | |
In a special report, Brian Taylor asks, | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
This is Greenock on the lower Clyde, a place anonymous down the decades | :05:11. | :05:22. | |
with business, industry, sometimes buoyant, sometimes struggling. That | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
means that employment and employment rights really matter here. | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
Tate Lyle, the sugar trade, exports, business, the work - in, | :05:32. | :05:39. | |
and more. This is the last giant remnant of a | :05:40. | :05:49. | |
business dating back to 1711. The work has changed, although | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
Inverclyde still resounds to the sound of swing, hammer, swing. | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
The Ferguson Marine yard is reviving. Workers here and across | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
Scotland are protected by laws underpinned by the | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
EU, everything from the hours they are obliged to work to and | :06:03. | :06:14. | |
consultation writes that I've guaranteed by EU minimum standards. | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
These rules are designed to make sure that EU member states compete | :06:18. | :06:27. | |
in a single market that is strong. Attitudes to these laws have varied. | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
John Major secured an opt out from extended social policy powers as | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
part of the Maastricht Treaty put up his successor, Tony Blair, scrap | :06:38. | :06:38. | |
that five years later. The EU laws also cover pregnancy | :06:39. | :06:52. | |
writes and maternity leave. They also give protection against any | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
form of discrimination. Earlier I talk about workers' writes here at | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
the James Watt. In Greenock. If you look at the analysis of the | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
situation, Sarah Connor in the Financial Times, who is pro-Remain, | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
and the BBC's own reality check website, they have taken included -- | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
they have concluded that very little will change in terms of workers' | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
rights if we leave the EU. People on your own site, including pretty | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
Patel, say it is about bringing these powers back home and cutting | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
red tape. Some would say that as a version of cutting workers' rights. | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
Double lots of scare stories before the 2010 general election. There is | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
not a majority in the House of Commons, even in the Conservative | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
Government for removing a lot of these rights. Are you confident | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
these rights would remain if we let? I am not confident. A lot of these | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
rights were introduced by the EU and had the lukewarm response from the | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
Westminster Government. I remember the negotiations we had with | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
previous Labour Government over their working time directive and the | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
EU workers directive. It was hard to find improvements in these | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
directors. My experience is that it would be difficult to make progress | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
in relation to workers' rights. There is a concern that over time | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
these rights will be eroded perhaps we are giving up rights for no | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
reason. Some of the rights we have we are giving up rights for no | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
got were created at UK level. And they are better than the rights we | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
have run the EU. The EU sets a minimum standards. Britain first | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
went ahead with 52 weeks maternity leave. The minute he -- the minimum | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
write within the EU is 14 weeks. There are members of your on-site to | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
want to cut back on those. It is a campaigning organisation that will | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
finish on the 24th of June. I recognise that a lot of these rights | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
are pre-existing but they have been underpinned by EU legislation and | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
extended by it. Tom mentioned maternity rights. That is a result | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
of the EEC legislation that women cannot be -- discriminated against | :09:12. | :09:22. | |
at a result of the EU. Which party will go into the general election | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
saying that they want people to abort one because the bulk up | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
rights? In 2007, there was a damaging and odd decision made, | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
which was that the writers strike was subject to the right of the | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
Freedom of movement of goods and services. The first time that | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
argument is used... Tom is right about that, but we have seen | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
progress more recently in a case in about that, but we have seen | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
Finland which is more positive. We have bad judgments from British | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
courts and we fight these. I think it's important to work with our | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
colleagues in the EU. We work with other progressive governments to | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
make progress. It could be argued that there is no point in workers' | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
rights if they are undermined by migrant workers coming here. We are | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
not overwhelmed by migrant workers from the EU. They are less than 2.5% | :10:20. | :10:29. | |
of the population. I think using the migration card is being dishonest, | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
and I think this dangerous. Comeback on that. Who is accountable to | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
and I think this dangerous. Comeback others in Britain for our workers' | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
rights? Is it unelected officials in Brussels or our Government? I would | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
prefer to live under a democracy than unelected bureaucrats... Let's | :10:49. | :10:58. | |
deal with democracy. Only the European Commission is made up of | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
unelected officials. We have the Council of ministers, the parliament | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
and the European Council, all made up of elected politicians. And | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
Britain can't get rid of them. Britain can use it influence but it | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
doesn't because it is so negative about Europe. I accept that. You | :11:15. | :11:23. | |
cannot describe it as democratic. Fangs for joining us. | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
Scotland has a new chief scientific adviser. | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
She's Professor Sheila Rowan of the University of Glasgow. | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
Professor Rowan, who's an expert on gravitational waves, | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
The current moratorium on fracking and the ban on growing GM crops | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
in Scotland are expected to be on the new adviser's agenda. | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
The post, which is appointed by the government, has been vacant | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
I expect and hope that this job will be a great opportunity to help feed | :11:45. | :12:02. | |
in where possible science across the broad spectrum of issues that are | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
relevant for the Scottish Government and the Scottish people, and see | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
how, wherever it is relevant, science can help support the | :12:12. | :12:12. | |
decisions that the Government makes. Tens of thousands of people look | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
after a loved one and more of us will be expected to | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
do it in the future. Each year carers save the nation | :12:21. | :12:22. | |
billions of pounds, but how much support are those carers | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
receiving themselves? Right, Lewis, socks on. Lift your | :12:26. | :12:39. | |
leg just a little. Julie's caring responsibilities start early in the | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
day. Bail-mac OK. Next one. Your leg brace. --. OK. | :12:45. | :12:57. | |
Lewis could have a seizure at any time. You are responsible for your | :12:58. | :13:05. | |
own life and another person's and well-being. And that is 24/ seven. | :13:06. | :13:15. | |
It never eases up. Yellow light this week is carers week. Deli -- this | :13:16. | :13:32. | |
week is carers week. Your needs are totally kicked to the kerb. You are | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
focusing so much on your loved one that you forget to care for | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
yourself. There are 800,000 carers in Scotland. That saves the country | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
?11 billion a year. If you are a carer, you are twice as likely to | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
suffer from poor health. We will get your medicines first. At some point | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
in our lives, three out of five of us will be a carer, probably for an | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
elderly relative. For many, it is not possible to get back to work, | :14:06. | :14:13. | |
and many are trapped in poverty. Is it just about cash? No, it is | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
sometimes just about organising different lake and saying, we know | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
you are a carer, we could put you in touch with support that you need. We | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
can make our workplace more flexible, we can make our services | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
more flexible. Sometimes, it's not about money but about doing things | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
differently. We cannot walk away. We hear about different strikes going | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
on. Carers could never do that. Who would look after our loved ones? Not | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
that we would want to strike, but we do need the resources and help. | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
Government is fully aware of this. Julie knows that this is a long-term | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
commitment. OK, Kenny. Have a good day at school. What she's looking | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
for is just a little more help. The new chief executive | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
of Edinburgh's Fringe is promising greater access for audiences | :15:07. | :15:08. | |
and performers, and unparalleled The programme for the world's | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
biggest fringe festival comprises more than 50,000 | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
performances and is forecast to generate over ?140 million | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
for Scotland's economy. An incredible mixture of all kinds | :15:19. | :15:31. | |
of Chandras. Challengers going forward. 70th anniversary, and we | :15:32. | :15:39. | |
are opening access. True to our founding principles - that has to be | :15:40. | :15:40. | |
our big challenge. Sport now, and a new era | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
imminent at Hibs, David. The former Celtic agreeing | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
to succeed Alan Stubbs. When the Northern Irishman makes it | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
official he'll become the highest Our senior football reporter | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
Chris McLaughlin has the latest Evening, Chris. What's the latest? | :15:59. | :16:13. | |
The chief executive LeAnn Dempster left here and our ago for a meeting | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
with Neil Lennon. When she returns, she will have the signature of the | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
former Celtic manager on a one-year rolling contract. It is something of | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
a coup, there is no doubt about that. Still basking in the one blow | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
of their Scottish cup success, the fans feel pretty good about their | :16:36. | :16:44. | |
new manager two. Who expected to get Neil Lennon for Hibs. Well done, | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
LeAnn Dempster. As long as he gets them up. I don't think we could do | :16:51. | :17:00. | |
better. He now faces a very different challenge from when he was | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
in charge at Celtic. We need a holding midfield player. He would be | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
terrific for the Hibs supporters if we could carry on after the cup | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
final to progress in the Premier League. Harnessing the Hamdan | :17:16. | :17:29. | |
feel-good factor will be important. Compared to three or four years ago, | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
these clubs are in far better places and Neil Lennon coming in will give | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
them a big boost. He is not well liked by Hart s finds. That will add | :17:41. | :17:52. | |
to their rivalry. What about the future? Neil Lennon, Hibs hero? Over | :17:53. | :18:02. | |
to the man himself. As I mentioned, the man himself is talking to | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
members of the board at the club's training ground now. No news | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
conference but he will speak to the media about his new job at some | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
point tomorrow. Thanks very much, Chris McCann Klinar at Easter Road. | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
She won gold at the Olympics in London 2012 and she's targeting | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
But its been announced that Scots rower Katherine Grainger has failed | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
to make the GB womens' eight crew for Rio 2016. | :18:30. | :18:32. | |

time of axe King Katherine Grainger got her hands on an Olympic gold | :18:51. | :18:58. | |
medal. Would she tried to defend that title in Rio? Well, after a | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
two-year break, the Scot announced that she would and was paired with | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
Welsh rower Vicky Thornely. Things started well, winning European | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
bronze last year. But this year they have struggled and the pairing was | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
dissolved. She then set her sights on the women's eight and fail to win | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
a place in that boat. Some thought that signalled an end to the Olympic | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
dream. A statement said that she had been given a chance to impress in | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
the eight but referring to them as a partnership, they said... | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
British rowing say that selection for the women's doubles school is | :19:41. | :19:47. | |
still ongoing, Katherine Grainger could be reinstated in the doubles | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
and find herself at the Olympics. The team is named tomorrow but can | :19:55. | :19:56. | |
be amended up until mid-July. The Commonwealth Bronze medallist | :19:57. | :19:59. | |

you speak well? Robin Hague knows film in her home village where if | :22:03. | :22:07. | |

I was you to work remotely and for me, it is the Highlands and the | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
landscape and their people that inspire me. This will be the focus | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
for all the creative activity that normally happens in the Highlands | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
behind closed doors. Whether that is music, Kraft, film or television. | :22:29. | :22:30. | |
Organisers hope that the networking music, Kraft, film or television. | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
going on today will spark project that will last all year round. | :22:36. | :22:44. | |

Two Scotland at 10:30pm tonight. We are all obsessed with the weather. I | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
don't know if it is a particularly Scottish trait to think it is all | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
going to end soon. Friday. Mice tomorrow, though. A lovely day for | :23:26. | :23:34. | |
many. The high temperatures sparking a few thunderstorms in the South | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
West but if you had the sunshine it was lovely. Great picture from one | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
of our weather watchers in the capital. Dry, some late sunshine. | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
Overnight, it is dry with a mixture of clear skies and clouds. | :23:50. | :23:59. | |
Temperatures in towns and cities holding into double digits. It could | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
be somewhat muddy. Thursday, high-pressure holding a on for one | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
more day but weather fronts waiting in the wings, coming our way on | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
Friday. A slow start tomorrow but it should brighten up. At low cloud | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
could be stubborn at times but it should then the back. In the West, | :24:24. | :24:35. | |
20-22dC. Further east, cooler. The shower is not as potent as today and | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
the Thunder risk is minimal. Light winds. If you get sunshine, still | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
pleasant. Overnight, the shower is holding on and that is when it goes | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
downhill. As we head towards Friday, weather fronts arrived bringing | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
cloud and rain and much cooler conditions. If you're not a fan of | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
the temperatures into the 20s, Friday is the day for you. Friday, | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
try a further north. Some sunshine there. Temperatures in mid teens at | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
best. Into the weekend, they pick up. It is going to be cloudy and | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
breezy at times. There will be some rain to come. We are a fan of your | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
niches. If you would like to join our weather watchers, go online. The | :25:30. | :25:39. | |

the meantime the current bridge is fit to carry on. I will be back with | :25:49. | :25:56. | |
the headlines at 8pm. The late bulletin at just after 10:30pm. For | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
