The national child abuse inquiry in crisis.

Its chair resigns after she's accused of making comments that

Leaders from Scotland's fishing industry meet the government over

concerns about our future relationship with the EU.

We speak to one of the jurors in the Liam Fee murder trial

about the impact of such a distressing case.

It is the aftermath people don't really understand. And later in the

programme... We are live at Wimbledon as Andy Murray bids for a

place in the quarterfinals. The chair of the Scottish

Child Abuse Inquiry, It follows efforts by

the Scottish Government to remove her from post

following what they describe as "unnacceptable comments"

about the abuse of children. It was to be a four year inquiry,

headed by one of Scotland's leading QCs and it made this call. If you

are in the care of the state in any sense, then we would like to hear

from you. But comments made by Susan O'Brien in a training session have

now seen this investigation collapsed before it has got started.

She is accused of appearing to make light of the abuse suffered by an

individual at a boarding school. The complaint came from this child-abuse

expert, who was advising on the appropriate use of language. Doctor

Claire Fyvie said if it was an attempt to lighten the mood it was

wholly in Opry -- inappropriate. In her resignation letter, Susan

O'Brien said she had accurately reported what the survivor had said

O'Brien said she had accurately about his attitude towards his own

abuse, adding, I cannot reassure the public the inquiry will

be conducted independently of government. Throughout this, my

concern has been to maintain support for survivors of

sexual abuse, who will have an inquiry that will address the

serious issues they have faced. This Benedictine Abbey runs a

school... At the Fort Augustus Abbey School in the

Highlands, some boys were subjected to abuse by the very people supposed

to be looking after them. The remit of the inquiry is to investigate

allegations at boarding schools, secure unit and children's homes but

allegations at boarding schools, has already been criticised for

having a remix which is too narrow. An inquiry into child abuse needs to

have the trust of the survivors taking part. Many are angry and so

ministers now have to begin the difficult task of rebuilding

confidence. Leaders of Scotland's fishing

industry have been meeting the Government to discuss

what happens following The industry has said for years

that it has been treated unfairly by the EU and many fishermen have

welcomed the Brexit vote. The Scottish Government though says

it's working to maintain The fish are still being landed at

Peterhead port, but the fishing industry says it has seen better

days. It points up the common fisheries policy is the problem, but

they feel they won't have to do is much heavy lifting in the future

after the UK voted to leave the EU. There's just one problem, the

Scottish Government is doing everything it can to keep the

country in Europe. This morning representatives from fishing

industry bodies met with the Government to press their case.

There is an opportunity for fundamental change in how the UK

manages its fisheries in the same way it manages for instance its oil

and gas, that was traded away in 1973. Now is the time when we can

have that back. According to the 1973. Now is the time when we can

Government, the Scottish fishing fleet has 2030 vessels. Together

they catch more than 480,000 tonnes of fish each year, valued at ?514

million. The fishermen 's leaders say fleets have shrunk under the EU.

The issue was a potent one during the referendum campaign. The

Scottish minister responsible says he has got to defend everyone's

interests. Over two thirds of our fish are exported to EU countries

and we need to continue trade, and also we need in the processing side

to continue to enjoy the benefits of the work of so many people that are

from EU states working in Scotland. The two sides will meet again in

late summer. At that point we may know whether Scotland's relationship

with the EU has been frozen. And there's a special BBC Scotland

debate tonight on the result Glen Campbell is presenting it

and can tell us more. After that vote for the UK to leave

the European Union, we are asking what next for Scotland? Our audience

here in Glasgow will have the chance to put their questions to a panel of

politicians including the Scottish Government's external affairs

Jackie Baillie for Scottish Labour, and the former leader of the Leave

Scotland. There are calls for jurors

to be given more support to cope with the effects

of traumatic court cases. It comes in the week Rachel

and Nyomi Fee are due to be sentenced for murdering

Rachel's son, Liam. It's regarded as one of the most

distressing cases heard Our reporter Lisa Summers has been

speaking to one of the jurors. Alan Tait was at first excited

about being on the jury TV cameras, a high-profile case -

that view was short lived. You look down the list of charges

and realised that this This is something I would much

rather not be doing. Day after day, the evidence against

the Rachel and Nyomi Fee mounted. It came into focus,

and there was a picture of Liam As quick as it appeared, it had gone

again. I can't get that picture out

of my head. Allen fell ill and was excused

halfway through the trial. He couldn't share his experiences

with family or friends. Experience like this have led to

calls for more support. Some of the experiences reported are similar to

those caused by post-traumatic stress disorder. They might

experience flashbacks, they might experience imagery that they have

witnessed during the trial. They might remember some distressing

testimony, they might find that they are more irritable, prone to tea

fullness, feel that the world is a different, perhaps less safe place.

When you are selected for jury duty, there is no turning back.

You cannot quit just because the evidence

Kenneth is a defence solicitor. The lawyers know what the witnesses

going to say because they have been preparing the case for the last six

months, but for the jaw as there are no opening speeches, they don't know

what type of evidence will be given. For those on the Liam Fee Jury, they

must find a way to cope with the aftermath.

It is the aftermath that I think people don't really understand.

I'm back at work, there are people there who are aware

of where I was, and they are still, it's over.

A 24-year-old man has appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court charged

with murdering a pensioner in the east end of

stabbing and killing 76-year-old John Baker and also of robbing one

woman and assaulting with intent to rob another.

He made no plea and was remanded in custody.

The family of a Cumbernauld pensioner who has been

missing since Saturday say they just want him to come home.

79-year-old Thomas Lamb's wife recently died and he should be

taking medication for a heart condition.

They had been together for 50 years when Jean died of cancer, less than

two weeks ago. Thomas Lamb's son said he was struggling to cope. I

think he found her passing very difficult. We cannot really

determine how difficult, what is going on inside his mind, but he

clearly was... He found the whole week, I would think, quite

traumatic. We just want him to come back so we can help him through that

process. Police say that there was an unconfirmed sighting of Thomas

Lamb at Buchanan Street bus station after he left home on Saturday

morning, and another outside the shopping centre later that

afternoon. Police Scotland and Thomas Lamb's family are also

concerned for the pensioner's safety Thomas Lamb's family are also

because he has a heart condition and should be taking daily medication.

As far as they are worth, he doesn't have the medication with him. -- as

far as they are aware. This is the last sighting of him at the shopping

centre on Saturday evening. Police believe he was on the way home. We

are appealing for residents of Cumbernauld to check their shirts,

disorientated. -- -- sheds. Meanwhile concern is growing for

this elderly, frail man who has already been missing for two night.

We'll start at Wimbledon, where Andy Murray's playing

Centre Court cheering for the fans' favourite and now tournament

favourite. With Novak Djokovic gone, a nation expects. From the first

game he looked determined to rise to it. The 21-year-old so-called bad

boy went toe to toe. But with Andy Murray himself in battle mode, he

started to power ahead. Minutes later, he broke to take the first

set 7-5. Early in the second set, it was going with serve but the

Australia -- Australian was becoming erratic. And with momentum now with

Andy Murray, it wasn't long before he broke him in the second set.

Kheredine Idessane joins us now from Wimbledon.

I thought there might be a shock on the cards in this match, shows you

what I know. We knew it was going to be pretty tough for Andy Murray,

that was certainly the case in the first set, but clearly the defining

moment of this match was Andy Murray braking at the end of the first set

to take it 7-5. He won the second set 6-1, so as he stands right now

he is one set away from the quarterfinals, and he has just

broken Nick Kyrgios again in the third set so the unrelenting

pressure has told on the talented Aussie. Andy Murray very much in the

driving seat to be in the quarterfinals on Wednesday. I don't

wish to tempt fate, but should Andy Murray prevail, he will play Jo

should have any fears about facing? Let's just tempt fate, no is the

when they have gone head-to-head, it is 12-2 in Andy Murray's favour. Jo

Wilfried Tsonga is a very talented player, he has been in a grand slam

final way back in 2008, the first that Novak Djokovic won, so he is a

very good player but with Andy Murray on this form, you would fancy

his chances strongly against Jo Wilfried Tsonga if he gets there.

Weather, and a miserable day for much of the country.

A changeable week of weather on the cards. There will be some showers

and longer spells of rain. We should see some drier and brighter

interludes at times. This evening across central and southern

Scotland, the rain continuing for a time. It will move into the North

Sea through the course of the night. It will leave dry night for many

with clear spells, but a scattering of showers across northern and

western coastal areas. Temperatures holding up around eight to 10

Celsius, perhaps something a little lower for some sheltered, rural

areas under clear skies with mostly light winds. Into tomorrow, a lot of

dry, bright weather to start the day with spells of sunshine around.

Across the North and east, we will see showers developing during the

morning. Frequent and at times heavy showers for a time in the morning

and into the early afternoon period with the odd rumble of thunder not

out of the question. Across the Northern Isles, dry, bright weather.

A scattering of showers. Sunny spells. Showers continuing across

the north-east and especially for Eastern, coastal areas tomorrow

afternoon. In Glasgow, Stirlingshire in towards Dumfries and Galloway,

the Argyll area and the West Coast, the Western Isles, a lot of dry,

bright weather to come tomorrow afternoon with spells of sunshine.

Temperatures around 14 to 18 Celsius. Into the evening, Ridge of

high-pressure will kill off any of these showers, so a fine end to the

day for most of us with brightness and indeed sunshine. On Wednesday,

high-pressure pulls away again and we will see another batch of rain

moving into the West during the course of the day. Eastern areas

holding driest, brightest whether the longest. Cloud continuing to

increase in the West during the day, followed by outbreaks of rain and

strengthening southerly winds. Highs of 17 Celsius.

It is good for the plants. Have a good
