Rail passengers across Scotland are facing the first in a series | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
of strikes tomorrow after talks at the conciliation | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
The RMT union says Scotrail wants to water down and wipe out | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
the safety role of the guard on long distance journeys, | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
ScotRail say this is nonsense and the majority of services | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Here's our correspondent, Andrew Kerr. | :00:23. | :00:37. | |
Raising a flag about rail safety. The RMT protested outside ScotRail | :00:38. | :00:46. | |
's HQ this morning. At the moment, on long-distance diesel trains there | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
is a driver and a guard. On the electrified suburban routes where | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
59% of journeys take place there is a drive around ticket examiner. The | :00:55. | :01:02. | |
union says ScotRail ultimately wants to reduce the safety role of the | :01:03. | :01:11. | |
guard. When trains have to be evacuated, they are not trained to | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
evacuate a train. And people like to see guards on trains were all sorts | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
of reasons but it is a critical role. ScotRail have expressed their | :01:20. | :01:31. | |
frustration saying safety and jobs are not at risk. They are calling | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
for the RMT to get a crown the table with no preconditions in a row that | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
appears to be over who opens and closes doors. We have operated a | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
safe system of work big Zachary which the RMT says is not safe. For | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
30 years we have operated that in Scotland. 59% of our customers today | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
travel with that safe system of operation. It is so disingenuous, so | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
avoidable and so unnecessary. Final efforts to resolve the strike failed | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
at the conciliation service ACAS in Glasgow at lunchtime. The prospect | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
of a strike can be annoying for travellers in any part of the | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
country but for commuters in the central belt, it is but a grievous | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
trading out as they are facing long central belt, it is but a grievous | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
journeys already because of the improvement works. It has taken 15 | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
minutes to come through. It is putting me off. It was always a | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
nightmare when the trains were delayed or cancelled. It is not | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
good. It is not going to affect me at all. I am going down to | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
Yorkshire. It is always frustrating. You hope your day is good to be what | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
you planned. So, the first strikers tomorrow. Another six days of action | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
are planned, with passengers being urged to check their journeys online | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
before travelling. With just days to go to the vote, | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
both sides of the EU referendum in Scotland have stepped | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
up their campaigning. The First Minister told nurses that | :03:05. | :03:05. | |
leaving the EU would end up But UKIP's Scottish leader said | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
Nicola Sturgeon couldn't be trusted. This from our political | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
editor, Brian Taylor. The referendum is dominant and so | :03:12. | :03:24. | |
addressing the Royal College of Nursing congress in Glasgow, the | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
First Minister took care to make her own position plain. I will be voting | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
to remain in the EU on Thursday and I hope others will do so too. She | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
told the nurses were dished exit would damage the NHS come as | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
economic decline would result in spending cuts and she broadened her | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
case. I think it is still looking very close across the UK, which is | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
right it is really important that everybody who wants to remain part | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
of the world's biggest single market, protect our own freedom of | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
travel across the EU, to protect workers' rights and this notion that | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
independent countries in the modern world come together to work together | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
for the greater good. If that is all world come together to work together | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
important to you, it is vital to get out and vote remain on Thursday. In | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
Edinburgh, voters seek backing from the public. Ever obliging, Ukip | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
Scottish leader follows photographic advice. He says Nicola Sturgeon | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
cannot be trusted on the NHS as her own record is poor. For him, this | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
referendum is about choice and about the UK regaining control. My | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
campaign message is vote to leave the European Union. It is best for | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
Scotland's interests. We get to decide who runs our country, not run | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
by an unelected bureaucracy in Brussels but by our own Parliament | :04:44. | :04:52. | |
in Holyrood and in Westminster. Make sure that we make our own decisions | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
and we can throw people out of cash every five years. In the Commons | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
this afternoon, tributes to the late Jo Cox MP, who was shot dead. MPs | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
united today, each wearing a white rose of her native Yorkshire. But | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
they and voters will divide once more for the referendum this | :05:16. | :05:15. | |
Thursday. In a debate on Reporting Scotland | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
earlier, key figures from both sides of the EU referendum clashed | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
on what a leave vote With more, here's our political | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
correspondent, Nick Eardley. Less than three days until the polls | :05:25. | :05:38. | |
open, what would staying in or leaving the union for Scotland? Key | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
topics which have dominated the UK wide campaign so far were prominent. | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
There was disagreement on whether wide campaign so far were prominent. | :05:48. | :05:48. | |
leaving would cause an economic shock. I think it would be a very | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
significant shock. It would be very serious and we would see the results | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
of it almost instantly as the markets open on Friday. It will be a | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
free trade agreement, all common sense tells you that will be the | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
case. And the shock will not in fact occurred. Debate two on the impact | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
of immigration. I think we need to challenge the myth that is what is | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
creating pressure on our public services in the United Kingdom is | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
migrants from the EU, it is not. We do need to have migrants coming to | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
our country but we need to be able to control the numbers so that we | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
are able to match the services for the schools, health service, | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
housing. Questions to over what a UK wide lever but a Scottish vote to | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
remain would mean for the independence debate. I believe very | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
strongly as I did throughout the independence referendum that | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
Scotland's future best lies within the United Kingdom and especially if | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
we were to leave the European Union and I sincerely hope that we don't, | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
that relationship comes even more important. The SNP said it would | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
leave to a groundswell of opinion for another referendum but in such | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
circumstances, would her party want an independent Scotland to use the | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
pound or the EU row? It would need to look at the economic conditions | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
at the time. We would not want to be tied to the pound if it nosedives | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
at the time. We would not want to be after a Brexit. The party 's former | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
deputies leader said there was no mandate for another referendum. | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
Nicola had the opportunity to add words they're saying in the event | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
Brexit turning out this way, I ask you a mandate in order to hold a | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
second referendum. She does not have the mandate. And Lord Forsyth called | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
on UK Unionists to back leave. The simple message to anyone who wants | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
to keep the union is that you should vote to leave in Scotland, otherwise | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
it will be used as a nation to make the case for another referendum. On | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
Thursday, the decision is down to voters across the UK. | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
There's been a further fall in crimes reported | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
They fell by just over 3% in the year to the end of last March. | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
There were fewer murders but overall violent crime was up by 5.6%, | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
with serious assaults rising by just under a quarter. | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
Sexual crimes also increased, although police say many of these | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
offences were historical, and there were fewer rapes. | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
More than ?11,000 has been raised online for the family of deaf | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
mother-of-four Kirsty Aitchison, whose body was recovered | :08:19. | :08:19. | |
The online fundraising drive is asking for contributions | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
towards her funeral costs and to support her children. | :08:24. | :08:32. | |
Minimum staffing levels in Scotland's NHS are to | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon outlined the plans | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
at the Royal College of Nursing Congress in Glasgow. | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
She says discussions will begin over the summer, | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
with the aim of putting health staffing on a statutory basis. | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
The Royal College of Nursing welcomed the promise, | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
but said it would only work if it was backed up | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
A new fundraising appeal is being launched to look | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
after the remote islands of St Kilda, to mark the 30th | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
anniversary of their designation as a World Heritage Site. | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
The National Trust for Scotland, which owns the islands, | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
spends ?270,000 a year preserving the historic remains | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
Celtic's new manager Brendan Rodgers and his squad had their first | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
There was an immediate focus on the European Champions League | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
as the qualifying draw was made this morning. | :09:14. | :09:14. | |
Monday afternoon and Brendan Rodgers gets his first chance to look at the | :09:15. | :09:30. | |
Celtic players and he must hit the ground running. Success vital in the | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
Champions League campaign, which begins in just over three weeks. He | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
is a very experienced individual. He has worked at top clubs and he | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
understands and knows what this club is about. He grew up supporting the | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
club. He understands the pressure that comes with the job. The demands | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
to perform and win. Celtic will face a trip to either Flora Tallinn of | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
Estonia of Lincoln of Gibraltar in the second qualifying round. The | :09:58. | :10:07. | |
more likely opponents to emerge from the first qualifying round tie will | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
be Flora Tallinn. The club was established in 1990 and has never | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
been relegated from the stony and top division. But also battling to | :10:16. | :10:28. | |
meet Celtic are Lincoln. We will make sure we do our homework and we | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
have to make sure we are to speed and fit and strong and the team is | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
fully prepared going into the game because we want to be in the | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
Champions League, so we can take no because we want to be in the | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
chances. Celtic have lost in the final play-off round for the past | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
two seasons. The immediate pressure, spoken or not, is for Brendan | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
Rodgers to meet the -- reach the group stage. | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
And Scotland has three other teams in European action next season. | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
The draw for the qualifying rounds of the Europa league | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
In ten days' time, Aberdeen will be at home | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
to Fola Esch from Luxembourg, while in Edinburgh, Hearts play | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
Hibernian will meet Valur Reykjavik or the Danish side Brondby. | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
That's in the second qualifying round in mid-July. | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
Well, it's over to Judith Ralston now with the weather outlook | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
Thank you. Indeed, the summer solstice, the longest Day, an | :11:16. | :11:28. | |
awesome sight if you do catch the sun going down. It is happening | :11:29. | :11:37. | |
about now across the far North. It is a drier look for Scotland through | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
the evening and overnight period. We will start to see a weather front | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
edging into Aussie far North West, introducing more cloud and summer | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
edging into Aussie far North West, showers by tomorrow morning. First | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
thing tomorrow, some lovely sunshine. Mild as well. Good sunny | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
spells across Scotland. The Northwest, Argyll, cloudy skies. | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
Showers here but it will be quite breezy. Dry the first thing. Those | :12:06. | :12:15. | |
showers keep coming in across the far north-west. In the afternoon | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
becoming more concentrated. Elsewhere, a scattering of light | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
showers. The emphasis on a lot of dry weather tomorrow with sunny | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
spells. It is quiet UK wise. A better day for the southern end of | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
the UK. No rain here tomorrow. Sammir stand low cloud lingering | :12:35. | :12:43. | |
along the channel. It will be launched -- warm across Scotland. We | :12:44. | :12:55. | |
are expecting 19 Celsius. We should see sending brighter coming through | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
for the Western Isles. And just a few showers edging into the Northern | :12:59. | :13:00. | |
Isles as we head through the afternoon. Those showers keep coming | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
in across the Northwest in the evening. Low pressure to the | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
north-west of us. Generating weather fronts, brushing the Northwest over | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
the next couple of days. Some showers. That is what we will see on | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
Wednesday but brighter skies in general for the Northwest. Feeling | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
pleasantly warm. Our next update is during Breakfast | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
at 6:25 tomorrow morning. But from everyone on the late | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
team, good night. | :13:27. | :13:30. |
