After a long and at times uneventful campaign,

:00:28.:00:31.

brought its share of surprises and drama.

:00:32.:00:35.

winning an unprecedented third consecutive Holyrood term.

:00:36.:00:39.

Nicola Sturgeon returns as First Minister,

:00:40.:00:42.

but she won't have an overall majority.

:00:43.:00:45.

The Tories, whose leader Ruth Davidson predicted they'd come

:00:46.:00:48.

second during the campaign did so and by a fair margin.

:00:49.:00:51.

It was another disastrous night for Labour,

:00:52.:00:54.

their worst result in Scotland in more than a century.

:00:55.:00:57.

Our political editor, Brian Taylor, reports.

:00:58.:01:03.

But just clock that grin from the Conservative leader,

:01:04.:01:10.

as they gained from a constituency swing across Scotland.

:01:11.:01:21.

But on the roundabouts, the list seats, they fell back,

:01:22.:01:23.

they're still dancing, but now without an overall majority.

:01:24.:01:29.

Nicola Sturgeon remains First Minister, with, she says,

:01:30.:01:32.

the right to implement her manifesto programme.

:01:33.:01:35.

We won a clear and unequivocal mandate, and I secured the personal

:01:36.:01:39.

mandate I sought to implement the bold and ambitious programme

:01:40.:01:46.

for government that I asked the country to vote for.

:01:47.:01:52.

I can confirm that when we reconvene in the coming days, I will ask

:01:53.:01:58.

the Scottish Parliament to formally re-elect me

:01:59.:02:01.

On independence, she said that she will continue to make

:02:02.:02:07.

Our aim is to persuade, not to divide.

:02:08.:02:15.

That applies to other areas of government as well.

:02:16.:02:18.

The First Minister will seek support from other parties

:02:19.:02:20.

for health and education reforms, and for the annual budget.

:02:21.:02:25.

As First Minister, I know that I have a duty to rise above party

:02:26.:02:29.

politics and to govern in the best interests of all of our country.

:02:30.:02:36.

My pledge today is that I will always seek to do that.

:02:37.:02:41.

But no coalition - not necessary, say the SNP,

:02:42.:02:44.

placed third in Scotland for the first time in a century.

:02:45.:02:53.

Kezia Dugdale consciously avoided challenging independence,

:02:54.:02:56.

trying to move the debate onto tax and spending.

:02:57.:03:01.

Overnight, she conceded that had not worked with voters.

:03:02.:03:04.

In my determination to try to move the Scottish debate on,

:03:05.:03:07.

it will have cost me and my party votes.

:03:08.:03:09.

For Labour, a fundamental rethink, but not a new leader.

:03:10.:03:17.

and get the Labour Party in Scotland fit to the future once again.

:03:18.:03:22.

For the Tories, triumph, after years of genteel decline.

:03:23.:03:28.

but, more, they depicted themselves as sole defenders of the Union.

:03:29.:03:38.

Today, Ruth Davidson warned against a second referendum

:03:39.:03:42.

She said that she stood ready to serve as the principal

:03:43.:03:45.

That is one which will hold the Government to account,

:03:46.:03:49.

saying no to a second independence referendum and making them

:03:50.:03:51.

concentrate on the things that matter - schools, hospitals,

:03:52.:03:53.

Popping the corks, the Liberal Democrat celebrated

:03:54.:03:59.

winning two mainland constituencies, to add to Orkney and Shetland,

:04:00.:04:07.

as the Greens overhauled them on the list.

:04:08.:04:12.

Their leader remains a perpetual optimist.

:04:13.:04:15.

Not only have we won in Fife, where I am now the MSP,

:04:16.:04:20.

but also in Edinburgh West, with Hamilton,

:04:21.:04:24.

and a stonking big majority up in Orkney and Shetland.

:04:25.:04:26.

People were writing us off before the election,

:04:27.:04:30.

A winners' hug, because lest we forget,

:04:31.:04:40.

the Greens took one seat more than the Lib Dems overall.

:04:41.:04:42.

Patrick Harvie certainly has not forgotten.

:04:43.:04:44.

We will be able to continue to bring constructive pressure

:04:45.:04:46.

to sometimes put them beyond their comfort zone.

:04:47.:04:50.

We will give them credit where it is due, but we will be

:04:51.:04:53.

unrelenting and challenging where we think they have

:04:54.:04:55.

Ukip forecast they would take seats across Scotland,

:04:56.:04:59.

After a tepid campaign, an interesting outcome.

:05:00.:05:15.

Uncertainty to come, but one clear, sharp facet tonight,

:05:16.:05:18.

an historic third victory for the SNP.

:05:19.:05:20.

In other news, the mother of the toddler Liam Fee

:05:21.:05:25.

has described hearing a blood-curdling scream,

:05:26.:05:27.

The jury has been listening to a police statement by Rachel Fee

:05:28.:05:34.

From the High Court in Livingston, Lisa Summers sent this report.

:05:35.:05:39.

the ways the jury heard a police statement made by Rachel Fee,

:05:40.:05:42.

accused alongside her partner Nyomi of murdering Liam. She said she

:05:43.:05:52.

thought it was around seven o'clock when Nyomi said she was going to

:05:53.:05:56.

check on Liam, and she heard a bloodcurdling cry as Nyomi shouted,

:05:57.:06:02.

Rachel, racial, she said she panicked and ran into the bedroom

:06:03.:06:05.

and could see that he was pure white and lifeless. She said Nyomi was

:06:06.:06:10.

putting him on the floor, she screamed at him to get an

:06:11.:06:14.

unbalanced. Rachel Fee told officers she came out of the bedroom, shouted

:06:15.:06:19.

at another child, what have you done? He gestured, she said, putting

:06:20.:06:25.

a hand to his mouth and around his neck. Her lawyer questioned the

:06:26.:06:28.

detective who took a statement. The court heard an ambulance had been

:06:29.:06:32.

called. He asked if it was possible Rachel was estimating the time of

:06:33.:06:38.

events. The detective agreed. Rachel and Nyomi deny murdering Liam Fee.

:06:39.:06:43.

The trial continues. The Tangerines went 3-0 ahead

:06:44.:06:58.

against Inverness Caley Thistle, but two goals ensured a nervy final 20

:06:59.:07:01.

minutes before the visitors could claim the points.

:07:02.:07:03.

with the weather outlook for tonight and tomorrow.

:07:04.:07:13.

Good evening, pleasant conditions across many parts of the country

:07:14.:07:20.

today, some sunshine, some cloud, some hazy sunshine, 18 degrees on

:07:21.:07:24.

the Solway coast. Tonight is dry and cloudy, mist and low cloud halve

:07:25.:07:29.

forming by tomorrow morning, a murky start at times, cloudy for many.

:07:30.:07:34.

Some sunshine coming out across western parts of Scotland. Across

:07:35.:07:38.

the UK as a whole, largely dry through the course of the morning,

:07:39.:07:43.

but notice this showery weather working northwards, Banbury

:07:44.:07:46.

downpours through parts of the Midlands, the North of England into

:07:47.:07:52.

Wales as well. Warm in the south, temperatures around the mid to high

:07:53.:07:55.

teens in the West, shall re-rain approaching in mid-afternoon.

:07:56.:08:02.

Further east, cooler with a combination of the breeze from the

:08:03.:08:06.

sea. Towards the north-west, a cloudy afternoon compared with the

:08:07.:08:09.

sparkling sunshine today, and a chilly feel if you are close to the

:08:10.:08:14.

coast. The showery rain arrives through Saturday evening and works

:08:15.:08:19.

its way northwards, so a cloudy, murky, damp night. But as we had

:08:20.:08:23.

through the early hours towards Sunday, the system that is producing

:08:24.:08:28.

this starts to pull away, and at the same time drags in that warm air

:08:29.:08:34.

that they have had down south. One or two showers in the West, then for

:08:35.:08:39.

many plenty of sunshine and warm sunshine at that. In the West,

:08:40.:08:43.

temperatures into the low or mid 20s. Cooler further east,

:08:44.:08:48.

particularly on the coast. Monday, cranking up the temperature, maybe

:08:49.:08:51.

24 degrees in the West, cooler in the East. That is the forecast for

:08:52.:08:59.

now. That is it for tonight, have a good

:09:00.:09:01.
