priest. What can a democratic state actually do in this situation? Join | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
me on BBC Two. Here on BBC One, it's time | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
for the news where you are. Hundreds of North Sea workers | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
are on a 24-hour strike as part of an ongoing row over plans | :00:08. | :00:15. | |
to cut pay and allowances. It's the fist stoppage of its kind | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
in the sector since the 1980s. While onshore, workers have been | :00:19. | :00:21. | |

described the action Shame on you! Support onshore for | :00:26. | :00:49. | |
the strike offshore. Members of the RMT and Unite unions demonstrate | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
outside the Aberdeen headquarters of Wood group and Shell. On the | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
platforms, the striking workers spent their 12 hour shifts in a | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
designated rooms. It is thought around half of the 350 workers | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
involved in the dispute are currently offshore and taking part. | :01:08. | :01:12. | |

how they can change. Simply because oil companies are not leaking as | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
much money, why should the workforce had to pay for that. -- making. They | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
appear as far apart as ever in this dispute but both sides say they want | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
to negotiate further to find some kind of solution. The reason we are | :01:48. | :01:55. | |
taking the action we are taking is we are being responsible about | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
sustainable jobs and cost bases in the future. That is tough to do. | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
What we do want to do is minimise the effect and in gauge in that | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
process and we will continue to do that. Shell says oil and gas | :02:09. | :02:17. | |

A man has been charged with murder following the death of a bodybuilder | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
Michael O'Hanlon, who was 45, was found with serious injuries at | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
Moorpark Industrial Estate in Stevenston, in Ayrshire, on Monday. | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
The emergency services were called but he died at the scene. | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
Steven Kirkwood, 43, appeared from custody | :02:42. | :02:42. | |
He made no plea or declaration at the private hearing. | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
The First Minister has set out five key areas she believes must be | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
protected, even when the UK leaves the European Union. | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
But with so much unknown about what life will be | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
like after Brexit, how will Nicola Sturgeon be able | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
to keep the parts of the EU she likes | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
Here's our political correspondent Nick Eardley. | :03:02. | :03:12. | |
Nicola Sturegon wants Scotland to keep some of the best bits | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
At the heart of This Is Democracy, whether we respect the UK vote to | :03:15. | :03:29. | |
leave or the Scottish vote to remain and that, well it's up for | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
The EU also brings social protection, things like | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
They could be safeguarded in a variety of | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
The most obvious way of protecting the current level of | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
protection, guaranteed by EU law would be to enact legislation | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
post-Brexit, that sort of preserves the status quo. | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
Much of that, though, will be down to the UK Government. | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Being part of the EU means cooperating on issues like | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
Does Scotland lose access to that cooperation? | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
have to ask ourselves - do we want to continue as part | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
And if so, we will need to negotiate with the EU to do | :04:12. | :04:25. | |
that, to ask - can we be part of these arrangements? | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
Or we will have to fall back on international | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
agreements to the extent that they exist and to the extent | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
that we have ratified or are willing to ratify them. | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
One of the biggest questions is the extent | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
to which we retain access to | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
the European single market and the free movement | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
For the First Minister, those issues are key for the economy. | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
It is conceivable that the UK stays in the | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
single market, after having left the EU. | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
If the UK leaves the single market, things get a lot trickier | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
because it would require a special status for Scotland if Scotland | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
If Scotland became independent, of course, it would be | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
The First Minister wants Scotland to not | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
only access the single market but to be able | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
Until now, that's something that only members of the European Union | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
So is there a chance of a deal which allows Scotland a say | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
In theory that is of course possible. | :05:16. | :05:25. | |
Everything is possible in politics, in theory but | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
there is no precedent for this, so it is unlikely such a thing | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
In particular for a country that would not, that is | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
That's of course unless Scotland is in the EU as an independent country. | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
On her wish list of five, well, it seems on most | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
of those aspects of EU life, there is room for negotiating | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
and testing the rules, and we'll of course | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
Two Canadian pilots charged with being impaired by alcohol | :05:50. | :06:00. | |
as they prepared to fly a passenger jet from Scotland to Toronto have | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
Captain Jean-Francois Perreault and Imran Zafar Syed were arrested | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
They were due to fly an Air Transat plane, with 345 passengers | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
Both were remanded in custody at Paisley Sheriff Court last week. | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
Today, they were granted bail on condition they | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
Edinburgh's festivals are worth more than ?300 million | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
to the Scottish economy, according to a study | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
Attendance at the 12 festivals held in the capital last year | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
topped four and a half million, matching the FIFA World Cup, | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
Our arts correspondent Pauline McLean reports. | :06:39. | :06:46. | |
A full-scale Military Tattoo proclaims it is once again festival | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
Edinburgh first branded itself as a festival city in 1947. | :06:50. | :07:04. | |
Not one but several festivals offering themselves as a | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
platform for film, international music and dance. | :07:07. | :07:16. | |
Today that's grown into 12 distinct festivals | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
staged across the year which between them, notched up 4.5 | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
million attendances in 2015, that's on a par | :07:22. | :07:22. | |
with the Fifa World Cup and | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
We knew tickets sales had gone up by 20% in 2010 to 2015, the | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
We hoped the economic impact went up that | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
much so we were pleased to seat economic impact for Scotland has | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
The study found it wasn't just the fringe which | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
All 12 festivals staged across the year had grown, offering | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
over 6,000 full-time jobs and contributing over ?300 million | :07:51. | :07:51. | |
It is a timely reminder of the need for support and investment. | :07:52. | :08:07. | |
We are here to put on great events and it | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
is the quality of shows we put on that ensure we stay attractive to | :08:11. | :08:19. | |
visitors and locals but the economic impact is a really | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
important thing to remember that happens in Edinburgh, particularly | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
Festivals have carried on sustaining the economy right the | :08:25. | :08:45. | |
way through the recession and as we move into uncertainty | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
it will be slight tricky times over the next few years. | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
Just a reminder what we do here in Edinburgh does an | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
important job for Edinburgh and Scotland. | :08:57. | :08:57. | |
It is business as usual as the jazz festival draws | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
to a close and the fringe is about to begin. | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
Edinburgh's multi-million pound festival season is under way | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
Lews Castle in Stornoway is home to Scotland's newest museum, | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
opening its doors to visitors for the first time | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
The restoration project cost ?19 million. | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
It opened its doors on the 14th of July. The castle is a massive | :09:13. | :09:27. | |
restoration project. It cost 19 million. As well as a museum on the | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
ground floor the rest of the castle is being developed into a 26 bedroom | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
hotel. In front of us now is a large illuminated wall, filled with a lot | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
of photographs local people have sent in. Nicky Smith is the curator | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
of the museum. Standing in front of the fantastic... These objects on | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
display are on loan from National museums Scotland. There is also a | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
significant loan from the British Museum. | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
The Western Isles reserved a state-of-the-art museum | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
for quite some time is capable of holding objects | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
I think this means an awful lot at a Scottish level and | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
What I find wonderful about this museum, it | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
looks at the Western Isles very much through the experience of the people | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
It is all about bringing forward the stories that | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
people had to tell in order that we can best communicate their | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
The council expect a substantial return | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
It will become an attraction in itself. The weather is not always | :10:33. | :10:46. | |
good and it is good to have a place where people can come and go. | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
We see the expansion of people coming back from foreign countries | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
looking at their roots which is why we have that part of the | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
It attracted twice as many visitors as expected. | :10:57. | :11:05. | |
It's over to Kawser now with the weather forecast | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
It has been quite cloudy and a wet end to the evening for many have | :11:08. | :11:20. | |
that cloud will be with us for some time. The night at rain will | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
gradually clear up and we will start to see clearer spells developing in | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
more central and southern parts of the country. Still some heavy bursts | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
as it clears overnight. Clearer spells where we see temperatures in | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
rural areas down to 16 degrees. Towns and cities, 11 and 12. In the | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
far north-west, the Northern Isles, more cloud and shower conditions. | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
Tomorrow morning, quite a bright start to the day, especially in the | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
south and east of the great Glen with decent spells of sunshine, but | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
still cloudy in the far north-west and the Northern Isles where it | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
stays like this for much of the day. At eight o'clock in the morning, | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
plenty of fine and dry conditions. 13 and 14 degrees with light winds | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
generally. A fresh wind for a time coming from the West and for the | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
Northern Isles as well without eggs of rain which could be heavy at | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
times. For the rest of the UK the best of the bright conditions are | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
across Northern Ireland, southern Scotland and northern England. | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
Further to the south of England, cloudy with some showers. The | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
temperatures in the middle to high teens further north and low 20s in | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
the south. About average for the time of year. Feeling pressure in | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
coastal areas with westerly wind. As we take a look at Thursday, low | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
pressure is not far away and with that we will see some showers | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
pushing in. A lot of uncertainty about it. It looks like the bulk of | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
the rain will be across southern parts of Scotland. Northern England, | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
Northern Ireland and southern England as well. Elsewhere it will | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
be largely drive. We can see on Thursday that Scotland for most of | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
the day looks to be largely very dry. It could be heavy at times. A | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
lot of uncertainty. You can keep up-to-date with the forecast and | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
that rain could push further north to the central belt. We will keep | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
you updated. And that is Reporting Scotland. The next update is on | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
breakfast at 25 past six tomorrow morning. From everybody in the late | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
team in Glasgow and right around Scotland, good night. | :13:28. | :13:29. |
