:00:00. > 3:59:59Thank you. That is all from us for this evening. It is good night from
:00:00. > :00:09.me, The UK Independence Party is
:00:10. > :00:13.celebrating winning its first seat in Scotland
:00:14. > :00:15.in the European elections. Of the six seats up for grabs,
:00:16. > :00:18.the SNP won two. They also had the biggest share
:00:19. > :00:21.of the vote, although it's Labour also kept its two seats
:00:22. > :00:26.and saw its share of The Conservatives retained
:00:27. > :00:31.their one seat with UKIP had
:00:32. > :00:34.the fourth biggest number of votes after seeing their share double
:00:35. > :00:37.since 2009, giving them their first Their gain was at the expense
:00:38. > :00:42.of the Liberal Democrats who came sixth below the Scottish Greens
:00:43. > :00:44.and lost their seat Here's our political editor,
:00:45. > :01:04.Brian Taylor. They could hardly wait. Finally,
:01:05. > :01:14.their first elected politician in Scotland. David Coburn is anti-EU
:01:15. > :01:18.and would curb immigration. He's libertarian and would look at
:01:19. > :01:25.decriminalising drugs, and he is pro-business. Build business. We
:01:26. > :01:32.need to get the weight of Holyrood and Westminster and Brussels off
:01:33. > :01:40.their backs. The SNP topped the poll and had hoped to prevent UKIP from
:01:41. > :01:46.taking a seat. UKIP in England pulled almost 30% of the vote, they
:01:47. > :01:50.got a third of that in Scotland and came fourth in Scotland as opposed
:01:51. > :02:01.to top of the poll in England. There is a world of difference between the
:02:02. > :02:04.two results. The decision to polarise the campaign between the
:02:05. > :02:12.two extremes is why he is with us today. The Tories have a new NDP and
:02:13. > :02:16.an increased vote. This is the largest number of people that have
:02:17. > :02:22.voted Scottish Conservative in the European elections since 1989. The
:02:23. > :02:29.greens were fifth, and the Liberal Democrats were approved sixth. UKIP
:02:30. > :02:33.took to the streets. Do these results tell us all that much about
:02:34. > :02:38.the independence referendum? Not really. Supporters of the union
:02:39. > :02:43.through clenched teeth set at a UKIP women suggest that Scotland is more
:02:44. > :02:51.in line with England than is otherwise argued. Supporters of the
:02:52. > :02:53.SNP 's take no, they talk to -- topped the poll and remain on
:02:54. > :02:56.course. Work to recover art works
:02:57. > :02:59.and documents have been continuing today at the Glasgow School of Art
:03:00. > :03:02.which was severely damaged Items that have been removed have
:03:03. > :03:21.been taken to a nearby gallery where It is a painstaking task. Every
:03:22. > :03:26.precious piece that can be rescued and restored as being retrieved.
:03:27. > :03:30.Staff and students as well as specialists from historic Scotland
:03:31. > :03:35.have been retrieving items from the building. Effectively passing them
:03:36. > :03:38.down a human chain into the McLellan Galleries where they will be
:03:39. > :03:45.inspected by expert conservationists. We are recording
:03:46. > :03:48.for each bit has come from, expert conservation staff will relate back
:03:49. > :03:51.to the information they have about the contents of the building so we
:03:52. > :03:56.will know in detail for each fragment has come from and what it
:03:57. > :04:02.is likely to have been part of. The main part of the damage from
:04:03. > :04:08.Friday's blazes in the West Wing of the building. It is not possible to
:04:09. > :04:11.confirm the extent of their impact beyond the fact that the Macintosh
:04:12. > :04:17.library and the studio above it are both lost. The fire rescue service
:04:18. > :04:22.say that 90% of the building is viable and they managed to protect
:04:23. > :04:28.up to 70% of the contents. Even the extent of the fire, it is remarkable
:04:29. > :04:33.to see what has survived. It looks bleak when we see these black into
:04:34. > :04:38.fragments coming out, but at the same time, we have to be so grateful
:04:39. > :04:45.for what has survived and for the efforts of the Scottish fire service
:04:46. > :04:49.in making that happen. Citizen firefighter, a bronze sculpture is a
:04:50. > :04:54.tribute to firefighters past and present. Today, he was making --
:04:55. > :04:55.wearing a message that could have been written by Charles Rennie
:04:56. > :05:00.Mackintosh himself. Two bodies have been discovered
:05:01. > :05:02.at Kinnoull Hill Police say there's no known
:05:03. > :05:06.connection between the finds and they were not treating
:05:07. > :05:08.the deaths as suspicious. Attempts are being made to
:05:09. > :05:10.identifying those involved. A woman has died after being hit
:05:11. > :05:14.by a lorry in Aberdeen. The accident happened after 9
:05:15. > :05:16.this morning on King Street. The road was closed while
:05:17. > :05:19.investigators examined the scene. Hibernian have begun
:05:20. > :05:21.a big clear-out as they come to terms with relegation from Scottish
:05:22. > :05:23.football's top flight. 14 players have been released,
:05:24. > :05:26.while many others have been told It's a sad end to the season
:05:27. > :05:31.for Hibs who join their Edinburgh rivals Hearts in dropping
:05:32. > :05:34.down to the Championship. Here's our senior football
:05:35. > :05:39.reporter Alasdair Lamont. Today's action took place off the
:05:40. > :05:43.field. Hibs under fire chairman Rod Petrie and incoming Chief Executive
:05:44. > :05:47.LeAnn Dempster were at the club's training ground for the manager had
:05:48. > :05:52.a busy morning. Terry Butcher spoke to the Hibs squad individually,
:05:53. > :05:56.telling some experienced players that they have no future at Easter
:05:57. > :06:03.Road. What of the manager himself? My future is not in my own hands. I
:06:04. > :06:08.want to stay and get a team together back in mode is serious motion
:06:09. > :06:15.challenge next year. If we do continue next year, we will rebuild,
:06:16. > :06:22.haps this club needs a chance to regroup. Come back fighting and
:06:23. > :06:27.stronger. As the man who delivered news that cleared out today, Terry
:06:28. > :06:35.Butcher looks safe for now, but the men at the top attracted most of the
:06:36. > :06:40.fans anger. We are going down and down and down. The trouble lies deep
:06:41. > :06:51.within the club. There is a lack of investment. Rob Petrie and to a
:06:52. > :06:55.lesser extent Rob Farmer. He has given us hardly any funds to buy
:06:56. > :06:59.decent players. If the purse strings were tight before relegation, they
:07:00. > :07:04.will be even tighter now. Several under contract players will have to
:07:05. > :07:07.take a pay cut or find a new club. At least the bands will have four
:07:08. > :07:15.Edinburgh derbies next season. A salt producer on the Isle of Skye
:07:16. > :07:18.is harnessing the power Because of the climate in the area,
:07:19. > :07:23.it can only be produced from April The Isle of Skye Sea Salt Company
:07:24. > :07:28.trialled the product last year and They hope to harvest between 3
:07:29. > :07:41.and 4 tonnes. The poly tunnels are low the sun to
:07:42. > :07:48.come through, allows the UV rays to come through. From April through to
:07:49. > :07:51.September. That is the basic principle, that they can harness the
:07:52. > :07:57.sun to hit the water. Now before the weather, here's Sarah
:07:58. > :08:00.Smith with news of a programme Now let's get the weather
:08:01. > :08:12.forecast from Christopher. This is a momentous year for
:08:13. > :08:16.Scotland, I will be bringing you all the news and chat. Join me at half
:08:17. > :08:26.past ten on BBC Two tomorrow for the first edition of Scotland 2014.
:08:27. > :08:33.It was an afternoon of sunshine and showers. He is the current satellite
:08:34. > :08:38.picture. The showers becoming confined to the north-west, evening
:08:39. > :08:42.sunshine across the South and along the east coast. This evening and
:08:43. > :08:48.overnight, those showers will fade away slowly. Then it is largely a
:08:49. > :08:51.dry night. Some clear skies, low cloud affecting the east Coast and
:08:52. > :09:02.Northern Isles. Perhaps some light rain and drizzle there. A fairly
:09:03. > :09:05.mild night. Judy gets off to a dry but cloudy start. There will be some
:09:06. > :09:12.brighter skies around. North of the central belt, some hazy sunshine
:09:13. > :09:19.here. As they had through to the afternoon, some heavy showers in the
:09:20. > :09:26.south-west. But largely dry a way from the south-west. Quite warm as
:09:27. > :09:31.well. Can along the east coast with an onshore breeze. In the
:09:32. > :09:40.north-west, some heavy showers they are as well. Pretty chilly for
:09:41. > :09:50.Orkney and Shetland, 1112 degrees here. For the rest of the afternoon
:09:51. > :09:57.and evening, -- 11 or 12 degrees. The rest of the afternoon and
:09:58. > :09:59.evening, some showers moving in. Thank you. That is all for now. I am
:10:00. > :10:13.back at 1030. Good night. Good evening. If I were to conduct a
:10:14. > :10:17.straw poll about the weather events today, I suspect we would get a
:10:18. > :10:18.split decision. There
