It's not just Aberdeen that has been affected by the oil crisis, it is a

microcosm of the impact. 65,000 job losses. That is a figure we have

been working on for the last few months.

They reckon by 1-there will be more losses of jobs.

It is also the shops, the restaurants

and the hotels that rely on the oil and gas.

This is a smaller rank. Fred Wallace has been taxiing for 14

years. Before that, he was in the fishing industry. He is one of those

who business has been hit by the knock-on effect of the oil and gas

downturn. The effect on the average taxi

driver is a reduction of certainly 30 to 40% of income.

That is even working extra hours. Fred is not alone. Hotels,

restaurants, shops in Aberdeen have all been affected.

There is nothing else. There was the fishing industry, that is not there.

In Aberdeen there is nothing else. Maybe some will go back to old

trades but is there a business there for them? Industry body, Oil and Gas

UK, estimates by the end of the year, 120,000 jobs will have been

lost. That includes the supply chain. That is jobs, not just in

Aberdeen but across the UK. Yes, as the oil price edges up it

helps but thinking of the dramatic drop we have had to deal with and

sustain over the past couple of years it must stay at a level to

bring the confidence back and the revenues

back to the industry to start spending money again.

Fred Wallace knows he is lucky to still have work, despite the

redundancies and the loss of business, it is estimated more than

redundancies and the loss of 330,000 jobs around the UK rely on

oil and gas. That now 1 to,000 figure will be a

big talking point at Oil and Gas UK's annual conference next week.

Some of the leading figures in the world will be there. Also the

politicians, Keith Brown will be there, and we understand, making her

first visit to Aberdeen, a year after getting the job, the UK Energy

Secretary, Amber Ru de, d could be making an appearance there.

The number of people charged under football-related offensive behaviour

laws has increased by almost 50% in the past year.

Ministers claim it shows the controversial policy is working,

but some fans and opposition politicians say the laws

are still targeting law-abiding football supporters.

These scenes from last month's cup final at Hampden are a reminder of

Scotland's problems with football-related disorder. The clash

between Hibs and Rangers, marred by a pitch invasion that led to

violence on the ground. And figures published today by the

Scottish Government show that was not an isolated incident.

There were 287 football-related hate crimes reported in the past year,

they related to 177 games held across 29 stadiums. That

is an increase from problems with 54 games played at 21 stadiums, the

year before. Scotland's Justice Secretary says that the figure shows

that the government was right in passing

specific laws to tackle the problem. The legislation place an important

part in sending a messageage that offensive billionaire related to

football is not to be tolerated and there will be action taken to pursue

individuals to be involved in that activity.

But not all agree, some fans reckon that current legislation targets

law-abiding football supporters, say that the first-degrees don't tell

the story. In 2013 and 14 when the figures went

down, both ministers said then that was evidence that the act was

working, I think we all know that the act is not working B the figures

are tiny. They are talking about 90 people in addition this year, the

conviction over the whole period is about 30%. The act is not working.

Meanwhile, 12 men appeared in court following the Cup final, and

ministers say that they are committed to action to put a stop to

stiff opposition from rival parties. Andrew Black, #k7 reporting

Scotland. A zoo in Cumbria has been fined more

than quarter of a million pounds, after one of its keepers was mauled

to death by a tiger. Sarah McClay, who was

24, was from Glasgow. Peter Marshall reports

from Preston Crown Court. Zoo, David Gill left court,

unwilling to talk about the failings that ended in the role of Sarah

McClay's death. 24-year-old Sarah considered it a

privilege to work with big cats. She died in maybe 2013, when a tiger

entered the keeper's area of the tiger house, through what should

have been a self-closing locked door. But the mechanism was faulty.

The zoo's maintenance had been inadequate.

It was fair of the judge to say that he doesn't want the zoo to close,

for people to lose their jobs b it is a guilty plea that makes a

difference. That helps us move forward, knowing

that someone was responsibility. The zoo admitted failing to ensure

the safety of Sarah and staff, of visitors and admitted to offences of

a keeper falling from a ladder while preparing feed for big cats. Fined a

total of almost ?300,000 and given ten years to complete payment.

the zoo to close, we really wanted Sarah's co workers and future zoo

employees to feel safe. The zoo's barrister expressed deep

sympathy to Sarah's family, saying no-one would forget the horror of

that day. The judge recognised that safety was

a priority at the zoo. It remain as priority.

Barrow Council has given the zoo strict conditions it will have to

meet before the licence is renewed. You're watching Reporting

tonight's programme: Making a political point -

the art students whose exhibition expresses their fears

over future resources. And does this record-breaking runner

have what it takes to win The final pint of milk

is being produced today at the North East's last

remaining large-scale dairy. Muller Wiseman is closing

its Aberdeen factory and relocating production to Bellshill near Glasgow

with the loss of 87 jobs. It means dairy farmers

in the North East will have to foot the bill for transporting their milk

to Glasgow, as Kevin Keane reports. This is the modern sharp end of

Scottish dairy farming, automated milking on a large scale.

There are just 950 dairy farms left here,

and that number is shrinking. We have 200 milking in here. Bruce

Mackie is one of the 43 farmers whose milk is being processed in

Aberdeen, facing the costs of shipping it to Glasgow.

It equates to a month's milk cheque for ourselves. So as one of my

colleagues remarked, it is like milking a cow for 12 months and

being paid for 11 of them. The dairy in Aberdeen has been

winding down ahead of today's closure, these are some of the last

pints to be produced. Mueller says it is providing a

long-term home for the milk produced by the north-east dairy farmers. And

it insists that even with the new transportation charged imposed,

farmers will get more per litre from them, than with many other

processors. But after today, these big tankers will make the 150 mile

journey to Belshill instead of being emptied here.

The dairy industry has been in decline for decades, with were

dictions of doom from as early as 1984.

A continuing growth of shop sales... Those forecasts proved to be right.

The latest change is put in part down to the demands of supermarkets

with their huge central distribution centres like this one in Livingston.

But farmers say it is them that are losing out.

We are looking at a situation for Mueller imposing unilaterally a

transport charge on Aberdeen farmers that no other Mueller farmers in the

UK pay. Transport costs had been absorbed across the whole number of

producers, we feel it is the thin end of the wedge.

an increased presence in South Queensferry,

but senior officers say they believe There was a high police presence

today. Taking statements from people who have been in the area today, one

week from when the incident took place, off that busy cycle path. The

detectives have been walking us through what happened. They have

been telling us that the attack took through what happened. They have

place off the cycle path in the wooded area here. This is an area

where the young 7-year-old girl was used to playing. The girl told

difficults that her attacker was white, high school age with brown

hair with what she described as a temporary tattoo on a hand.

Somebody in the community could have seen something, perhaps seen

somebody walking down the cycle path or looking hurried or dishevelled or

own easy, they may have seen something, whether it could be here

or in the queens ferry area. This person could be a key for

information for ourselves. The detectives praised the young

girl. Saying she was courageous and impressed with the level of detail

able to provide. She is now recovering well. Senior officers

believe this was an opportunistic attack, very rare. They are

confident to get the man responsible.

Gay marriage in church has moved one step closer today,

after the Scottish Episcopal Church voted to remove references

to marriage only being between one man and woman in its Canon Law.

The change - which must still be ratified next year -

means that the Episcopalians could become the only Anglicans

in the UK willing to marry people of the same sex.

As husband and husband! marriage became legal in Scotland in

2014 but only the civil version. A vote at the Synod of the Scottish

episs cop alchurch could been to change that. Members were asked if

the wording of Canon Law, defining marriage as between a man and a

woman should be amended. The majority said it should.

The motion is therefore carried... The debate will move to the church's

seven diocese, a ahead of a final vote. If that passes, it means that

Scotland will see same-sex couples walking down the church aisle aisle.

Jesus without a shadow of a doubt referred to marriage as between a

man and a woman, or a bride and a bridegroom. Never

was there reference to a marriage between two people of the same-sex.

Any change will mean that the episs copal church is singing from a

different himself sheet to other Anglican Churches. But that is

nothing new says its leader. We are, shall we say, a slightly

feisty group who can be a little bit on the edge in terms of our views of

things. In January, the leaders of the world

Anglican Churches, including Archbishop of Canterbury punished

American episs copals when they endorsed same-sex marriage, which

means that the next meeting between Justin Wembley and David Chilling

David's got for us. The man who coached Yvonne Murray

Laura Muir has more potential than any female

having broken a long-standing Cottish Episcopal Church, It was a

the Scottish record was about to fall as Muir finished just behind

the world No 1. Laura Muir out on her feet. Having pushed herself so

hard, did she know the record had gone? Yes, I thought. So I knew what

the British record was. Hopefully that will be a Scottish one as well.

It means a lot to me. The man who helped Yvonne Murray to records and

medals is backing Muir for glory. She has the most potential of any

female athlete I have seen in Scotland. She is up there with

Yvonne Murray, Liz and well capable of meeting and probably beating,

because she has such potential. But doing times is one thing, running in

championships like Yvonne did in Seoul and competing and getting the

medal on the hour is what it is about. But as Boyle looked over

future stars, he is convinced this about. But as Boyle looked over

to match Murray. It probably hasn't escaped your

was not in the queue. I can't bear the way the media crows and blows,

if they win there would be a certain amount of pain involved. It is

churlish not to wish England all the best, but I would prefer it if Wales

or Northern Ireland or the republic won the tournament. The one I'm

going for is a nation which tries to personify football as the beautiful

game and that is Spain. You see kids in the streets with Barca strips,

Real and so on. So there a great affection for Spanish football. I

Real and so on. So there a great think the Scots will support Ireland

or Wales. I don't think many support England. That is... I do believe we

should be supportive of England. It should be a great tournament and I'm

envious of all those folk there. Bad news I have got Austria in the

125 students from Glasgow School of Art have

taken over 12 railway arches for an exhibition,

which they hope will draw attention to their concerns

Twenty Five Per Cent Extra refers to the planned increase

in the number of students over the next few years,

which they fear will squeeze resources, space and teaching.

Our arts correspondent Pauline McLean reports.

It is usually only final year students who stage an end of year

show, but these second years from Glasgow School of Art decided to

bend the rules. Many have been displaced by the fire in the

building and wanted to find a way of bringing the school together again.

A lot of my year don't know anybody else in photography or sculpture and

I think it is a shame to go through the whole four years and not know

everyone. We have so many skills. The skills have been put to good use

as they cleared out 12 railway arches and filmed them with their

work. The title refers to the increase in the number of students

at the school and their concerns that studio space and teaching will

be squeezed. It not about slamming anyone, all we want to get out of it

is a dialogue with the school for them to be more transparents with

the issues they face. And how they're impacting us and how we can

work on its together. As oppose posed to feeling that we are the

last thought. Glasgow School of Art admits student numbers are up, but

they say staffing and space has been increased to match and say they are

listening. There is a lot of consultation, but I can understand

the frustration that if you have to worry it is not resolved soon. But

it is amazing what the students have done and it is great to have this

show and it is almost like a fringe show to the degree show which opens

next week. What started as the concerns of a few students has

become a major art exhibition and because seen wror staff plan to come

along they have achieved their ambition of being listened to.

Let's see what the weather has in store for us this weekend.

It is a grey day, but some blue skies in Shetland. For many, it was

more like this. Fairly leaden skies. And those conditions lasting

tonight. Some patchy rain almost anywhere really. And also some mist

and low cloud affecting North Sea coasts. Clearer in the Northern

Isles. For many double digit temperatures tonight. To the weekend

and very little in the way of wind. Widely spiced isobars. But a weather

front bringing cloud and rain. But it is not a washout. For many it is

dry, but grey and cloudy. Just cater for the odd spot of rain or drizzle.

Perhaps even some brightness around the Clyde coast. By mid afternoon,

in the west we are looking at temperatures around the mid to high

taens. Further cool and Gray. Maybe just 12 degrees in Aberdeen. To the

west in the north-west Highlands, just 12 degrees in Aberdeen. To the

patchy rain continuing. The Northern Isles have the best of sunshine. If

you're hill walking or climbing. Western ranges are cloudy with

patchy rain. The winds are light. Temperatures there on the sum mitts

and some brightness on the Galloway Temperatures there on the sum mitts

hills. In the east cloudy with drizzle and extensive hill fog.

Winds light. On the the inshore waters in the south-west, a south,

south-easterly force four. Moderate visibility. In the east it is an

east south-easterly force 4. Again some mist and murk. Saturday evening

cloudy with patchy rain. All from the low pressure influencing

conditions. Sunday no great change. Some differences in where we will

see the best conditions. Sunday seeing the best of drier brighter

weather in the north-west. Elsewhere cloudy with patchy rain. Again not a

washout. Temperatures perhaps in the high teens. Low pressure stays us

with next week. That is the forecast for now. Thank you.

Now, a reminder of tonight's main news.

An estimated 120,000 jobs will have been lost by the end of the year
