Sir Jackie Stewart talks about his wife's battle

with dementia, which he describes as Helen's long-term memory is

faultless. More Murray magic at Wimbledon,

as Jamie makes it through to the quarterfinals of the men's

doubles after a five-set epic. Scotland's business and political

leaders have been holding talks about the aftermath

of the EU referendum. In recent days, financial

markets have settled down But the underlying economy

is beginning to show Our business and economy

editor, Douglas Fraser, Since Brexit, warning signs have

been flashing more insistently. A poll of British business today

suggested pessimism about the economy went from a quarter of those

taking part in nearly half. After the initial shock 11 days ago, stock

markets have made up some ground, though some sectors have not,

including banks and house-builders. The pound continued to weaken today,

having already fallen 10% as soon as the Brexit result came in. That

should help at least some exporters. Some uncertainty about what happens

next in politics is undermining confidence in the economy.

Today Aviva and MMG joined this giant with a halt in trading,

fearing investors would rush to withdraw their stakes. Following the

referendum result the company said market conditions at exceptional and

extraordinary. Hopes of selling the government stakes in Scotland's big

banks have been pushed back by the prospect of slower growth and slower

earnings. This will be a setback, let's be honest. A couple of years?

I think at least a couple of years, but markets turn round and go

positive as quickly as they go negative. That was a background for

meetings today between business and political leaders. The First

Minister heard concerns from the main industry bodies. I think

there's a number of areas that government can be looking at, to

make Scotland a more attractive and competitive place to do business,

particularly around tax cuts around a PD, around infrastructure projects

and making sure that infrastructure economic Lee and physically, to help

do business. Half a mile away trade bodies were out lobbying the UK

Government. How do we approach international trade deals quest what

do we need to renegotiate those deals or can we put in place

mechanisms that allow the benefits we already have two be secure going

forward? We need a clear message today around making sure we have the

best possible access to the single market, as well as making sure the

trade deals we have are kept in place. The Scotland Secretary voted

last month to remain in the European Union. He said he told you this

would happen. I very much hope that we won't have a recession situation,

but we obviously are going to have a period of uncertainty, a period

where people will not be keen to invest in projects which may have

been going ahead in this period. That is why is important to bring as

much certainty in a shorter timescale. But I'm not dismissing

the challenge of doing that. The Governor of the Bank of England Mark

Carney spoke out for a third time in recent days,

reassuring us that he's taking measures to ease lending

conditions for banks. But he was also warning

of the Brexit effect spreading to the housing market and to foreign

investment - already sharply down. Some foreign investors continue

to be big spenders here, but this notorious one brings

further uncertainties ahead Donald Trump's success in America

means more uncertainty for the economy.

Thank you, Douglas. The First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon,

has renewed her call for all EU citizens resident in the UK to be

given the right to remain. She was speaking after talks

with diplomats from EU Here's our political

correspondent, Glenn Campbell. Tourists come from near and far to

see the First Minister's Edinburgh town house, most only catch a

glimpse from the outside, but today's visitors included diplomats

representing all corners of Europe, invited to share their concerns

following the Brexit vote. We are getting a lot of phone calls from

people who could become Belgium's, because they want to drop the

British citizenship into the Belgium one. There is panic among Europeans

not knowing what will happen next White 18 consuls attended talks with

the First Minister who stressed that hasn't yet been any change to the

status of EU citizens living here. And I hope no one should leave the

country. It is deeply regrettable people living here feel the need to

consider citizenship of another country. These are concerns that are

being communicated to us. I am very keen to get a message across that we

value people living here. As well as appealing to the UK Government, to

give all EU citizens already living here the right to remain, the First

Minister is also exploring options to maintain Scotland's links with

the EU, even if the rest of the UK is coming out, and she's made clear

those options include a possible second referendum on Scottish

independence. Diplomats tend to use diplomatic language about

independence, not wishing to take sides. Any question of independence

for Scotland is an internal matter and we would make no comment on

that. However, it is clear that were Scotland to be independent, we'd

welcome the EU. One consul general couldn't resist the temptation. I

have to stay impartial, but... Between the and you? I do. Wait and

see. Germany's man was more cautious. Best to wait and see what

happens, he said. In the past two minutes the results

of the first round of the race to be leader of the Conservative Party and

Prime Minister has been announced. Doctor Liam Fox came last in the

ballot and has been eliminated. The Home Secretary Theresa May came top

with 50% of the vote. Andrea Leadsom the second, Michael -- Michael Gove

with third. Stephen Crabb is also still in the running. The next round

of the competition is on Thursday. A survivors' group says it's lost

confidence in the Scottish It follows the resignation

of chairwoman Susan O'Brien, who stepped down after

the Deputy First Minister began But John Swinney has denied undue

interference and insisted the Government was trying

to ensure costs associated From 1964-74 Helen Holland was

abused at home in Kilmarnock run by the Catholic order of the sisters of

Nazareth. She now starts a helpline for survivors of care abuse. Helen

views current of elements with concern. They have done so with the

assurance this is independent of the government. If they are now finding

out it is not on the government are having involvement where they

shouldn't be, then there are major trust issues in relation to that as

well. Speaking on radio Scotland, Deputy First Minister said the

government was required to ensure value for money and questioned the

use of QCs to take witness statements at the cost of around

?100 an hour. He firmly denied putting cash and control ahead of

the welfare of victims. I want to assure survivors today and I will

the welfare of victims. I want to work to do it for the foreseeable

future, the inquiry will be free to take all of the evidence, to look

into all of the issues it needs to look into without fear or favour and

to make sure it does that job properly and competence of links. In

addition to Susan O'Brien, Cambridge Professor Michael site resigned last

week citing government interference. That leaves glens used in, a social

care expert from Northern Ireland as the only remaining panel member for

now. A government spokeswoman said today officials had been instructed

already to identify replacements. She also insisted that evidence

gathered so far for the inquiry would stand, and that public

hearings planned for November would go ahead.

This Scottish head of the National children's charity says it is vital

to get the inquiry back on track. Clearly until the inquiry is fully

staffed again, victims will be concerned, and I think it's

important the government acts swiftly to set the inquiry on a

sound footing. Victims will seek those reassurances

and more when they meet the Deputy First Minister to see what happens

next. Still to come on this evening's

Reporting Scotland: We take a look at the

National Museum of Scotland Andy Murray on his quarter-final

match against Jo Wilfred And we're with a golfer enjoying

a highland homecoming Shell has announced its plans

to leave the giant legs of its three Brent oil field platforms

in the North Sea, when it completes Each leg is made of concrete

and steel and weighs Decommissioning is already well

underway on Shell's grand delta. At some point next year as specialist

barge will move into place, the final will lift, cutting the

platform from the legs and it will take just ten seconds. The structure

will be dismantled onshore. But these huge concrete and steel legs

will be left standing, each the equivalent weight of the Empire

State building. The collision risk is about one in every 10,000 years.

On balance we think the risk associated with the technical

complexity associated with cutting and lifting the legs doesn't make

sense to do anything other than leave them. The operation started in

the early hours of the morning. Shell officers, police and staff

were hoisted by crane. Shell still bears the scars of this

decommissioning in the 1990s, attempts abandoned amid direct an

embarrassing action by Greenpeace. Shell says it has consulted widely

on what to do this time, but one environmental group is not

convinced. This is an industry that pushed the boundaries of science and

engineering to get hold of oil and gas in the North Sea, so they should

be pushed as hard to make sure they use the same technology and

engineering skills to try and clean up as much as possible. Shell will

need permission from the UK Government to leave behind this

man-made mark. The question is, will this become the benchmark for the

hundreds of North Sea installations that will eventually have to be

decommissioned? Thousands of people who have joint

replacements may, in future, may have their recovery monitored

by a tablet hand-held computer. The Golden Jubilee hospital

in Clydebank is the first hospital in Europe to try out the technology,

which allows doctors to keep a much closer eye

on the recovery of their patients. Here's our health correspondent,

Eleanor Bradford. For a select number of people, going

home after a knee replacement has become more technical. I have one of

these vices to check your range and motion on your knee. Just put this

tracker onto your leg. The Golden Jubilee and Clydebank is trialling

the use of the new gadget to monitor movement. This device here. You can

see your knee on the device. I will get you to bend your knee up and

down. It uses motion sensors similar to those in mobile phones and

pedometer and allows the hospital to constant monitor its patients, which

is very different from what normally happens. Normally we telephoned the

patients two weeks after surgery and then have a further follow-up at six

weeks. What this device would enable us to do is to continue assessment

on a daily basis and we can pick up patients having problems earlier. It

just keeps you on course. Just the reassurance you are doing it right.

During her recovery when Di continues to use the monitor and

tablet and it pushes her to do that rehab. Although she did need a hand

with the newfangled technology. Once I got it home, I have to say my son

was helping me... But once you got into the swing of it all, and you

are doing it every day, then it just became sort of second nature. That

shows how well she has been able to move her knee. At the hospital Mr

Welsh gets the results even if his patient is miles away. This is her

getting much more flexibility. Yes, a lot more range of bend. This study

just goes to show the technology we use to using at home on tablets and

mobiles is also being used by the medical world, and because it is

cheap, it's getting closer to patients, to improve their

experience. A look at other stories

from across the country. Major rail improvement

projects are behind schedule with costs spiralling,

according to a new report Transport Minister,

Humza Yousaf, has said that the Edinburgh-Glasgow line

will not run electric services until July 2017, seven months

later than scheduled. Network Rail Scotland said

they are committed to delivering improvements

within agreed funding limits. 24 families have lost

their school places for the 2016/17 session,

after being caught giving false statements to get their children

into Edinburgh schools. Officials uncovered 13 catchment

frauds at high schools The original Declaration of Arbroath

is to be given special status The letter - written in 1320 -

voices support for an independent Scotland and is still

regarded as a statement UNESCO status recognises

its cultural significance and will offer protection

to the rare and delicate document, which was last on public

display 11 years ago. Dr Who star, David Tennant,

received an honorary degree The 46-year-old studied there

from 1988 to 1991, when it was known as the Royal Scottish Academy

of Music and Drama. The second stage of flood defence

work on the Water of Leith New walls, embankments

and floodgates will be erected along the stretch of river

at Murrayfield and Roseburn. The areas suffered

extensive flooding in 2000. Two years ago, the wife

of the former Formula One world champion, Sir Jackie Stewart,

was diagnosed with dementia. For the first time, Sir Jackie has

been talking publicly about his wife's condition,

which he describes as the biggest Family life, Formula One life. These

binders that your mum painstakingly did, they've taken on new meaning

now. I remember well doing it with her. I used to sit next to her. Ive

was six, seven years old. She likes talking about the past. Every time

he won, she was by his side. Every time there was another death, she

was there too. He was outspoken fighting for better safety. Now,

facing his biggest ever personal challenge, he is fighting dementia.

Today he launches a charity with ?1 million of his own charity. Race

against dementia is what it's called. That's what motor racing is.

We changed things faster and more successfully in the shortest of time

than any other industry or any other activity in the world. The current

great designers called Adrian Newey, he's won nine World Championships

for different teams. I want to find an Adrian in the medical research

area. All these girls were around me on the podium. You've dealt with

fear through your career. Do you feel that fear with dementia? Now

I'm trying to manage my head in the same way as I handled it by getting

back into a racing car, when somebody was killed. So at the

moment, my focus is starting up this new charity and I just hope we'll

get the support we need. The best of luck to him.

What's happening in the sporting world, David?

Andy Murray says he can't afford to think about the later stages

at Wimbledon or he'll get distracted from tomorrow's quarter-final.

He faces the world number 12, Jo Wilfried Tsonga, of France.

Andy's not the only Murray looking forward to playing in the last eight

at the championships, as Kheredine Idessane reports.

A memorial for the longest match of all time, 70-68 in the fifth between

Isner and mahut. Jamie Murray is this way.

This is court 17. Last night they finished at 9pm at 13-13 in the

fifth. Surely we're not in for another epic? Thankfully not. In

fact only another four games were required as Murray and suarez came

through 16-14 on the fifth. The goal was to win the tournament. We won

three matches so far. Concentrate hard on the next match. It's going

to be tough regardless of who we play. Going to be a tough match for

them as well. We're playing some good tennis. I think we're both

really excited about it. Little brother is just as excited for him

tomorrow a quarter final against Jo Wilfred Tsonga of France, with no

thought spared for the big names like Novak Djokovic who've already

been knocked out. Those results that have happened don't affect me yet.

If I reach the final, maybe. It's different coming up against someone

different to know rack, but right now -- to Novak. Right now it has no

bearing. Songhoy Blues will be -- Jo Wilfred Tsonga will be tough in the

next round as well. Concentrating on those matches. You get distracted at

this level, it can cost you. The Davis Cup won't be a distraction,

it's after Wimbledon and both Murray brothers are in the team for the tie

away to Serbia. Andy says he will wait until he's done in SW19 until

deciding whether to play. could be career-building

stuff for him. The Inverness-born player has flown

from his home in Florida for the Scottish Open,

which begins on Thursday, July in the Highlands is a tad

cooler than in Florida, but Russell Knox is well versed to

acclimatising. Though having jetted in this morning, the local boy has

just one thing on his mind. To get the clubs here this afternoon and

maybe go stroll nine holes and try to stay awake, yeah. I think that

would be number one. It's just golf. It's a numbers game. I'll figure it

out. Players from all the world have once again gathered here for the

fourth staging of the Scottish Open. Xnox isn't the only American based

Scot returning to his roots. It's a big tournament. But yeah, I'm

looking forward to a great week. Who knows what will happen at the end of

the week. Jimmy Gunn, like many this week, hoping for a good showing, as

four qualifying spots are still available for The Open Championship

next week. But for Russell Knox, who has already qualified, the goal is

the Ryder Cup in September. This is career-building stuff. If I can go

out, you never know, someone's going to get really hot here and maybe win

a couple. Just going to try and take it one shot at a time and smile and

hopefully I'll have a chance. If he wins here at home, expect even

greater smiles. That's all from me. It's hello Dolly in her new home.

The National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh has had

Morag Kinniburgh has been given a preview.

The upgrade is unveiled, finishing touches to galleries ahead of the

opening on Friday. We wanted things that would be inspiring, things that

would be excited. We wanted things that would be surprising. We have

old favourites like steam locomotives and ship models. We've

got brand new things like Formula One cars and tiny bits of biomedical

kit. There's more to entertain and inspire as well as educate. The

150-year-old Victorian museum was getting a little tired, so they've

invested in modernising the science and arts sections to make them more

interesting and interactive. This energy machine, a new way to learn

about power. Three quarters of these objects have been brought out of

storage, unseen for at least a generation. The National Museum of

Scotland now ranks amongst the best in the world. There's no other

National Museum in the world with such a huge breadth of collections

under a single roof. I think putting together the breadth of the

collections with the engaging way in which we've interpreted them

provides a unique experience here in Scotland. Visitor figures are

predicted to rise again with the latest phase of modernisation. We

are judgment posing past and -- juxtaposing past and present.

They're using new materials and challenging our perception of what

fashion or footwear is. Such as challenging our perception of what

these here. You have got that in contrast with the 19th century bath

shoes. Reflecting Scotland to the world and the world to Scotland, in

the hope of attracting generations to come.

We're reflecting the weather now with Christopher.

Good evening. Fairly unsettled with Christopher.

conditions last week and indeed this week. Why? We need to look to the

jet stream, this river of wind way up in the atmosphere moving across

the Atlantic. It's static. It's not moving north or south. It's just

delivering weather system after weather system all last week and

indeed, all this week. Periods of showers, rain at times and at times,

quite a cool, fresh feel as well. It's the dividing line between

really quite warm air to the south of it and cooler air to the north.

We're on the cusp of it. It's not a washout. We will have some sunshine.

This was the scene in north Berwick earlier, very nice. But also heavy

down pours across the north-east today. Those showers are easing away

through the course of the evening. Can you see it on the satellite

there, the showers just pulling away. For many, some late sunshine

to end the day. The showers fading away. Then largely dry overnight,

light winds away from Shetland. Temperatures in towns and cities

around eight or nine Celsius. But in the countryside, under those clear

conditions, it could be down to a chilly four or five. Tomorrow, it

gets off to a bright start for most, chilly four or five. Tomorrow, it

but quickly clouding over in the west with outbreaks of rain. Then

through the course of the day just edging inland to about the spine of

the country by mid-afternoon. Here's the scene then at 4pm. Across the

southern Uplands, the rain will be light and patchy. Fairly persistent

across the West Coast. Further east through the central belt, expect

things to turn a bit damp. Driest here for longest and thus warmest,

18 degrees. Dry for the far north and Northern Isles. Here it is,

there it goes, working right across the country. So a fairly soggy night

heading overnight Wednesday to Thursday. Come Thursday, the rain

has cleared away for most. Still affecting Shetland, perhaps northern

parts of the mainland. For many on Thursday, it's dry with spells of

sunshine. In the east, highs of 20 degrees.

Tonight's main news: Liam Fox has been eliminated from the race to be

the next leader of the party. The Home Secretary, Theresa May topped

the ballot, followed by the Energy Minister, Andrea Leadsom. Michael

Gove and Stephen Crabbe are still in the running. That's Reporting

Scotland. Good evening.
