An estimated 120,000 jobs could be lost by the end of this year

because of the downturn in the oil and gas industry.

The industry body, Oil and Gas UK, says the figure shows the impact

of the problems in the sector on the UK economy as a whole.

You can sit there for an hour before anything happens.

Fred Wallace has been taxing in Aberdeen for 14 years. Before that

it was in the fishing industry. His business has been hit by the

knock-on effect of the lowering gas charge.

The effect on the average taxi driver is a reduction in 30 to 40%

of income. That is even working extra hours.

Fred is not alone. Hotels, restaurants and shops have all been

affected in Aberdeen. There is nothing else. There used to

be the fishing industry but now there is nothing else. I've some of

them all go back to their old trades but is the business there for them?

The industry body no estimates that 120,000 jobs will have been lost by

the end of the year, including the supply chain. That is not just in

Aberdeen but across the UK. If you think of the dramatic drop we

have two deal with in the last couple of years, it needs to go up

and stay at a level to bring confidence and revenues back into

the industry so we can start spending again.

Fred Wallace know he is lucky still to have worked. Despite the loss of

business, it is estimated more than 330,000 jobs around the UK still

rely on oil and gas. Meanwhile, BP has confirmed

that it has scrapped plans for a new gas sweetening plant

at Shetland's Sullom Voe terminal. The company announced

in March that the project, which would have employed 300

people in its construction and 30 permanent staff,

was on hold, The number of people charged under

football-related offensive behaviour laws has increased by almost

50% in the past year. Ministers claim it shows

that 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 Robins with food related

disorder. -- problems. The match was marred by a pitch invasion which led

to violence. Figures published today by the Scottish Government show that

was not an isolated incident. Scotland's Justice Secretary says

the figures show the government was right and passenger specific laws to

tackle the problem. This legislation continues to play

in a potent bat and sending a strong message that offensive behaviour at

football will not be tolerated and prosecutors will take robust action

pursuing those involved. Not everybody agrees. Some fans

reckon current legislation targets law-abiding foot all supporters and

see the figures do not tell the whole story.

When the figures went down in 2013 and 2014, ministers said that was

evidence the act was working. I think we all know it is not working.

We are talking about attaining any aid of people and a small increase

this year. The act is not working. Meanwhile,

12 men appeared in court following the cup final trouble. The

Department are committed, they say, to end scenes like these.

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.

The owner of the South Lakes Wild Animal Park left court this

afternoon, unwilling to talk about the feelings that played a

substantial role in Sarah McClay's debt. -- death.

Sarah McClay considered at it a village to work with big cats. She

died when entering through what should have been a self closing

locked door at the mechanism was inadequate.

It was fair for the judge to say he did not want the zoo to close

because he didn't want people to lose their jobs but it was good to

know somebody else was responsible. It was fined a total of almost

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

We never wanted the zoo to close complete payment.

because that is not what Sarah would have wanted but we just wanted her

ex-employees to feel safe. In mitigation, the barrister

representing the zoo apologised and said nobody would forget the horror

of that day. The judge recognised that safety was

a considerable priority in the zoo and it remains so.

The council has given the zoo 's strict new conditions which will

have to meet before its relations is renewed. -- it's a licence.

Nicola Sturgeon said that the policy being held up by legal argument

didn't justify walking out of the EU.

Let's get the weekend weather outlook now from Christopher.

It was a fairly cloudy day across many parts of the country bar

Shetland and Orkney, and a similar story tomorrow. That is how we start

tomorrow morning. The rain is light and patchy and not everyone will see

it but it will be cloudy for most. There will be a number of heavy

showers through the Midlands, thundery at times. Elsewhere, cloudy

with patchy outbreaks of rain. Feeling cooler than what we have

seen through the week. By mid-afternoon tomorrow, in the West,

one or two hefty showers. The good part of Central Scotland will be dry

but probably cloudy. This day and murky around the North Sea coast.

Fairly damp conditions stretching up to the north-west. All major went

dry with the best of the best sunshine and Shetland. As we head

overnight towards Sunday, little in the way of change. You will see

these weather fronts continue to pile in, bringing workload and

further spills of patchy light rain at times. Drier on Sunday and maybe

brighter. A humid feel in the West with some rain in the afternoon. Low

pressure stays in charge next week which means it will be fairly cloudy

with summit pics of rain but the winds generally liked. -- light.
