:00:00. > :00:00.and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

:00:00. > :00:10.After last week's election, MSPs are sworn-in as the new Parliament

:00:11. > :00:16.Their first act is to elect the Labour MSP, Ken Macintosh,

:00:17. > :00:22.as Presiding Officer to replace Tricia Marwick.

:00:23. > :00:29.The revitalising of this Parliament reminds me of the promise offered by

:00:30. > :00:30.devolution, which is to work together across the party defied for

:00:31. > :00:34.the common good. The former

:00:35. > :00:37.boss of RBS, Fred Goodwin, won't face prosecution over the sale

:00:38. > :00:40.of shares in the months before After more than 100 years

:00:41. > :00:44.at Pittodrie, Aberdeen FC unveils Newly-relegated Dundee United

:00:45. > :00:53.appoint Ray McKinnon as manager. And the animals that ancient

:00:54. > :00:57.Egyptians turned into mummies Holyrood has a new

:00:58. > :01:15.Presiding Officer. He's Ken Macintosh -

:01:16. > :01:17.who's been a Labour MSP Mr Macintosh told BBC Scotland

:01:18. > :01:28.he wants to reassert the role Earlier, MSPs took the oath

:01:29. > :01:33.of allegiance in This from our political editor,

:01:34. > :01:48.Brian Taylor. For MSPs, a therefore family. A day

:01:49. > :01:57.for photos. At this one, the new SNP group, large but now the minority.

:01:58. > :02:02.But also a day from voting. In Hollywood's only secret ballot to

:02:03. > :02:07.choose Parliament's neutral Presiding Officer. No nominees from

:02:08. > :02:11.the SNP, they need every vote they can get to govern, but five

:02:12. > :02:16.contenders from Labour and the Conservatives. After three rounds, a

:02:17. > :02:17.clear winner. Ken Macintosh is elected as Presiding Officer of

:02:18. > :02:28.APPLAUSE. A former Labour leadership

:02:29. > :02:33.contender, Ken Macintosh was swiftly congratulated by current party

:02:34. > :02:36.leaders. By definition, to win he required SNP support. He takes over

:02:37. > :02:41.a tough job, convening a parliament required SNP support. He takes over

:02:42. > :02:44.with new powers but no clear majority and acting as an envoy for

:02:45. > :02:50.Scotland. I have known Ken Macintosh as a colleague and friend since 1999

:02:51. > :02:54.and I wish you well in what is the best job in Scotland. The new

:02:55. > :02:58.Presiding Officer promises conciliation and consensus. To work

:02:59. > :03:03.together across the party defied for the common good. And he told me he

:03:04. > :03:08.wants to take the heat out of chamber questions. If I could do

:03:09. > :03:11.anything I would like to try to take some of that hostility, some of that

:03:12. > :03:16.sting and the theatrics out of first Minister's Questions. Klister June

:03:17. > :03:20.was earlier the first to deliver the obligatory legible legions to the

:03:21. > :03:24.Queen but not without a preamble. The Scottish National Party legis

:03:25. > :03:27.loyalty to the people of Scotland in mind that the Scottish concentration

:03:28. > :03:34.on tradition of the sovereignty of the people. I, Ruth Elizabeth

:03:35. > :03:37.Davidson... Reflecting the power structure, she was followed by Ruth

:03:38. > :03:43.Davidson for the Tories and Kezia Dugdale of the Labour Party and

:03:44. > :03:45.Patrick Harvie of the Greens. Our party will always serve the people

:03:46. > :03:51.of Scotland, who are sovereign. And among the leaders, Willie Rennie of

:03:52. > :03:55.the Lib Dems, wearing in tribute, a Taiwan sworn by the late Charles

:03:56. > :03:59.Kennedy. All have to swear or affirm in English butter or add-on options.

:04:00. > :04:17.Peter Chapman, a north-east Conservative, shows Scots.

:04:18. > :04:26.HE SPEAKS IN SCOTS. Like others, Kate Forbes repeated the pledge in

:04:27. > :04:33.Gaelic. Aber Sarwar opened in Arabic. Sporting a distinctively

:04:34. > :04:44.Scots Asian, Hamza Yousuf repeated the oath in Urdu. Only one, the

:04:45. > :04:50.youngest MSP, Ross Greer of the Green Party, opted for the clenched

:04:51. > :04:54.fist. And so tempting emerges from the Shadow of Labour defeat.

:04:55. > :04:59.Inverness born, married with six children and a former BBC producer,

:05:00. > :05:01.the new siding officer says he wants to reassert the role of Parliament,

:05:02. > :05:05.but politely. -- Presiding Officer. In Parliament they are still voting

:05:06. > :05:17.for Ken Macintosh's deputies. The latest news, there will be the

:05:18. > :05:23.election of the first deputy, Linda Fabiani, a former SNP minister and

:05:24. > :05:25.one who played the role in the construction, contentious

:05:26. > :05:30.construction project for this building. She came out a clear first

:05:31. > :05:34.and they are voting for the second deputy and the contenders are Ken

:05:35. > :05:38.Gibson and Christine Grahame from the SNP and Margaret Mitchell from

:05:39. > :05:41.the Conservatives. Ken has been knocked out so disgusting Grahame

:05:42. > :05:46.against Margaret Mitchell, who came second in the first round but the

:05:47. > :05:49.final vote is down to the MSPs. Many thanks.

:05:50. > :05:51.The former boss of RBS, Fred Goodwin, won't face criminal

:05:52. > :05:54.charges in connection with the sale of shares in the bank,

:05:55. > :05:59.The Crown Office has investigated the bank's decision to sell shares

:06:00. > :06:02.in a rights issue in 2008, which led to huge losses for people

:06:03. > :06:11.Our Business and Economy Editor, Douglas Fraser, is here.

:06:12. > :06:12.Douglas - this goes back eight years.

:06:13. > :06:25.Going back to April 2008, the economic storm was already clearly

:06:26. > :06:29.brewing, Fred Goodwin, then Sir Fred, went to the shareholders and

:06:30. > :06:36.successfully persuaded them to put up ?12 billion more to underpin the

:06:37. > :06:39.rapid growth of the bank, it was very successful for several years

:06:40. > :06:45.and they accepted assurances that RBS was on footing, five months

:06:46. > :06:50.later, it hit the rocks, it required more than 45 million pounds of

:06:51. > :06:56.taxpayer bailouts, the shareholder value was slashed and shareholders

:06:57. > :07:01.have been asking, where we misled when he parted with ?12 billion?

:07:02. > :07:08.When the bank executives must have known that a serious risk of

:07:09. > :07:11.collapse? The Crown Office, the prosecutor in Scotland, has been

:07:12. > :07:20.asking that question as well, was this criminal fraud? Was company nor

:07:21. > :07:22.broken? After five years, 160,000 documents, it has been extremely

:07:23. > :07:28.complex and they say there is insufficient evidence to proceed any

:07:29. > :07:33.prosecution. Nor have they find any grounds for any prosecution over the

:07:34. > :07:37.treatment of business customers with distressed assets after the

:07:38. > :07:41.financial crash, whether have been serious allegations about the

:07:42. > :07:46.behaviour of the bank. Is RBS out of the woods? This clearly removes one

:07:47. > :07:49.behaviour of the bank. Is RBS out of obstacle from the civil case, which

:07:50. > :07:55.continues and is being pursued by groups of shareholders, one by the

:07:56. > :07:59.senior executives, to defend their actions as well as the bank doing

:08:00. > :08:04.so, Fred Goodwin produced a witness statement which has just arrived

:08:05. > :08:09.with lawyers recently and I am told it runs to more than 150 pages and

:08:10. > :08:12.that could come into open court scheduled for March of next year but

:08:13. > :08:16.that good stuff. The current leadership would like to get out

:08:17. > :08:20.from under this cloud, it is expected to table a proposal for an

:08:21. > :08:26.out-of-court settlement but even if it gets to that, other legacy issues

:08:27. > :08:29.roll on about the safe -- sale of toxic assets before the crunch,

:08:30. > :08:35.mis-selling of financial products, rigging markets since 2008 and share

:08:36. > :08:39.price that is less than half of what it needs to be for the taxpayer to

:08:40. > :08:41.break even. It may have kept itself out of the criminal courts here but

:08:42. > :08:44.it is still a long way from being out of the criminal courts here but

:08:45. > :08:46.fully recovered. Douglas, thank you for

:08:47. > :08:48.You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC.

:08:49. > :08:52.Still to come on tonight's programme? The new exhibition

:08:53. > :08:58.We'll hear what one of their players makes of the new manager.

:08:59. > :09:02.And what's the Scotland manager doing in a car showroom?

:09:03. > :09:09.And who is he calling the Yoda of Scottish football?

:09:10. > :09:12.Changes to the way BBC Scotland is governed have been set out

:09:13. > :09:15.as part of wider reforms to the corporation.

:09:16. > :09:21.The UK government says Scotland will be represented on the main BBC

:09:22. > :09:26.board and there will also be a group set up to oversee Scottish services.

:09:27. > :09:30.But the Culture Secretary said the BBC must do more to serve

:09:31. > :09:37.Our Westminster Correspondent, David Porter, has more.

:09:38. > :09:45.Comedy favourites Craig and Ford wrap the BBC in Glasgow today,

:09:46. > :09:51.launching a new series of still game. In which they pay pensioners

:09:52. > :09:56.Jack and Hector. Back after a nine-year absence from our screens.

:09:57. > :10:00.It is almost as if the launch was some kind of distraction from the

:10:01. > :10:05.White Paper? Some people will need that White Paper! Maybe so but what

:10:06. > :10:11.has been decided for the BBC will affect most everyone. The Secretary

:10:12. > :10:17.of State for culture, media and sport... And other stage, this time

:10:18. > :10:19.of a political nature and more details of how the future BBC should

:10:20. > :10:27.look. The BBC will also be required details of how the future BBC should

:10:28. > :10:30.to give greater focus to underserved audiences, in particular those from

:10:31. > :10:35.black, Asian and ethnic minority crimes. And from the nations and

:10:36. > :10:39.regions, who are currently less well served. What is planned? The BBC

:10:40. > :10:44.Trust is to be replaced with a new board set up to run day-to-day

:10:45. > :10:49.matters. It will have a Scottish representative and there will be

:10:50. > :10:54.what is called a sub board for Scotland. The licence fee, currently

:10:55. > :10:59.just over ?145 every year, will continue for at least the next 11

:11:00. > :11:04.years. And in future, viewers will also need a license if you want to

:11:05. > :11:08.use iPlayer catch-up services. Politically, a broad welcome for the

:11:09. > :11:14.proposals but a feeling that more can be done. It is important to

:11:15. > :11:18.drive up standards in the BBC in Scotland and the Secretary of State

:11:19. > :11:22.clearly said today that Scotland is underserved by the BBC and we have

:11:23. > :11:26.said that for a long time. The BBC is less trusted in Scotland in any

:11:27. > :11:33.of the other constituent nations in the UK. For many, top of the list is

:11:34. > :11:40.a Scottish generated national and international TV news bulletin, a

:11:41. > :11:44.so-called Scottish six. Others believe that is a step too far.

:11:45. > :11:48.There are those who do not believe in a common national British

:11:49. > :11:54.identity and, if in that we might unintentionally create a wedge

:11:55. > :11:58.between Scotland and England, I would urge the Secretary of State to

:11:59. > :12:05.exercise caution but the amount of diversity that is given to the

:12:06. > :12:11.devolved nations. And BBC management north of the border say that the

:12:12. > :12:15.White Paper will lead to changes in what Scottish audiences get from the

:12:16. > :12:20.broadcaster. We recognise that there is a deficit in certain areas of

:12:21. > :12:23.output, there is a need for more portrayal and representation through

:12:24. > :12:28.drama output and comedy and we recognise that television news has

:12:29. > :12:32.to adapt to a country which is increasingly being devolved. The

:12:33. > :12:36.BBC's present Charter expires at the end of the year. Ministers say the

:12:37. > :12:37.new plans will help guarantee the corporation's future in the

:12:38. > :12:41.long-term. A look now at other stories

:12:42. > :12:44.from across the country. Glasgow has been named among 11

:12:45. > :12:47.urban areas in the UK and Ireland which have breached air

:12:48. > :12:52.pollution safety levels. The city featured in the data

:12:53. > :12:55.published by the World Health The health body warned poor

:12:56. > :13:00.air quality causes more than three million deaths around

:13:01. > :13:02.the world every year. The city council said it

:13:03. > :13:05.took its responsibility to monitor Plans for a huge offshore wind farm

:13:06. > :13:12.in the outer Forth estuary The project has lost

:13:13. > :13:15.a vital subsidy deal, The scheme's backers argue

:13:16. > :13:21.the decision is invalid and are confident it

:13:22. > :13:25.can be overturned. The wind farm's also

:13:26. > :13:28.the focus of a legal challenge by RSPB Scotland,

:13:29. > :13:30.which argues the scheme's a threat The jazz musician Joe Temperley has

:13:31. > :13:39.died at the age of 86. The Fife-born sax player performed

:13:40. > :13:42.with some of the biggest names in jazz and was the last surviving

:13:43. > :13:45.member of the Duke He only started playing

:13:46. > :13:49.the saxophone because his brother had bagged his preferred

:13:50. > :13:53.instrument - the trumpet. He never forgot his Scottish roots,

:13:54. > :13:56.and helped to found a youth jazz A new budget rail service

:13:57. > :14:02.between Edinburgh and London has First Group will be allowed to run

:14:03. > :14:07.five services a day, Fares will be less than ?25,

:14:08. > :14:13.with the service starting Police are searching for a Mercedes

:14:14. > :14:19.which had a fake number plate, after a hit and run collision

:14:20. > :14:23.in Livingston yesterday. It struck a parked car on Thymebank

:14:24. > :14:27.at about nine o'clock The Mercedes driver failed to stop,

:14:28. > :14:36.and then sped from the scene. Aberdeen Football Club has unveiled

:14:37. > :14:38.plans to leave its Pittodrie home and move to a new stadium

:14:39. > :14:41.to the west of the city. It's the club's third attempt

:14:42. > :14:44.to build a new purpose-built site, but, as you might expect,

:14:45. > :14:46.not everybody's pleased. Our reporter John McManus

:14:47. > :15:04.is at Pittodrie for us tonight. Not long until Aberdeen kick-off

:15:05. > :15:07.against hearts here at Pittodrie but for the dons fans, to see their team

:15:08. > :15:12.in action, there will be something else undermined, is the team finally

:15:13. > :15:18.about to leave its historic home and move to a new residence in the

:15:19. > :15:22.suburbs? It has been the home of Aberdeen football club for more than

:15:23. > :15:28.100 years. It is still going strong but for how long? The club have

:15:29. > :15:33.served -- surveyed sides on this new piece of land. This is a stadium

:15:34. > :15:38.near Westhill that the dons hope to move into 20 19. With it, a new

:15:39. > :15:44.state-of-the-art training facility. Over the past 15 years, the club has

:15:45. > :15:47.had attempts to move from the beach-side ground. But it says that

:15:48. > :15:54.staying put is not an option. The demands of the modern football club

:15:55. > :16:01.dictate that we need 3G pitches, we need grass pitches, we need to get a

:16:02. > :16:05.professional team onto the services that they will be playing on every

:16:06. > :16:09.week in the leagues, we need all-weather facilities because as we

:16:10. > :16:14.know, it is not always as sunny as this in Aberdeen and the surrounds.

:16:15. > :16:20.There is concern in Westhill. I'm not sure about this, purely because

:16:21. > :16:28.of the traffic for the area. It is bad enough as it is. It is a good

:16:29. > :16:34.idea. It has pleased me, I was an ex-season-ticket holder and be

:16:35. > :16:42.great. The Dons fans had mixed opinions tonight. Fans on the other

:16:43. > :16:46.side of the City, getting over to Westhill on Saturday will be

:16:47. > :16:52.difficult for me. It is great news for the supporters. And a very

:16:53. > :16:55.positive way forward for the club. The City council says a new stadium

:16:56. > :16:58.is a vital part of upgrading the infrastructure of the region. But it

:16:59. > :17:02.still has to get through the planning process.

:17:03. > :17:08.That planning application will happen after an initial 12-week

:17:09. > :17:13.consultation. The club said it expects an answer within this year.

:17:14. > :17:15.So watch this space. Thank you very much for that.

:17:16. > :17:18.Let's get the rest of the sports news - with David.

:17:19. > :17:20.Just over a week after sacking Mixu Paatelainen,

:17:21. > :17:27.Former player Ray McKinnon has signed a three year deal

:17:28. > :17:30.at Tannadice, following his departure from Raith Rovers.

:17:31. > :17:33.The Dundonian made over a hundred appearances for the Tannadice side,

:17:34. > :17:35.and says he's 'looking forward to rebuilding'

:17:36. > :17:51.A new strip for what will be a team with a new manager next season and

:17:52. > :17:57.one player says Ray McKinnon has the perfect credentials for the job. You

:17:58. > :18:05.have seen what the job he did at Brechin, close to getting them into

:18:06. > :18:12.the... Getting promotion and he has carried on this season. McKinnon

:18:13. > :18:16.becomes Dundee United's third manager in less than a year. But

:18:17. > :18:20.this particular appointment appears to have gone down well with fans of

:18:21. > :18:24.the club. I think he will probably do well. He has done well with

:18:25. > :18:29.raift. Why not United? If that what is we are going for, you get behind

:18:30. > :18:32.the the manager. He has to get the respect of the players rights away.

:18:33. > :18:40.If he brings in his own squad, he will do that. One former fans

:18:41. > :18:45.favourite said McKinnon requires one thing. Everyone this it is great if

:18:46. > :18:50.you have played for the club, but it is all down the the results and that

:18:51. > :18:58.is what will if it is the right decision. McKinnon will watch from

:18:59. > :19:02.the stands at the final game. But then the hard work will begin.

:19:03. > :19:04.The Scotland manager Gordon Strachan hopes resting the majority

:19:05. > :19:06.of players from Celtic, Aberdeen and Hearts will help

:19:07. > :19:09.Scotland face a double header with Italy and France,

:19:10. > :19:12.and Strachan says it will help him as national manager later

:19:13. > :19:15.in the year if he has more players taking part in European competition.

:19:16. > :19:34.Celtic's 2-1 defeat to St Johnstone, Leigh Griffiths hitting the 40-goal

:19:35. > :19:40.mark. But no place for Griffiths or other Celtics or Aberdeen players. I

:19:41. > :19:44.go back to ten or eleven years ago when Celtic and Rangers were doing

:19:45. > :19:48.very well in Europe. That definitely benefitted, ask the coaches back

:19:49. > :19:53.there, that benefitted the national side with these guys play being top

:19:54. > :19:57.sides. I'm hoping we can give these guys a rest and that will benefit

:19:58. > :20:02.their clubs. In the long-term that will benefit me and the national

:20:03. > :20:09.side. The former Scotland boss Craig Brown said the current squad lack

:20:10. > :20:16.the quality to compete at major tournaments. Craig is probably the

:20:17. > :20:22.Yoda of Scottish football, but what I have got is a great bunch of lads

:20:23. > :20:26.and we have to work as a team and put in more hours, because we don't

:20:27. > :20:31.have the individuals that... Other international teams have got. The

:20:32. > :20:37.media Conference held in a car show room, one car seemingly less than

:20:38. > :20:44.impressed by the inclusion of Rangers' Lee Wallace and Barry

:20:45. > :20:51.McKay. We have to pick both... ALARM GOES OFF! It is the wrong thing

:20:52. > :20:55.picking them. It must have been a Celtic supporter setting that off?

:20:56. > :20:57.The former Celtic manager, Martin O'Neill, says he's not

:20:58. > :20:59.at all surprised Roy Keane is being linked with

:21:00. > :21:02.O'Neill is currently Keane's boss at the Republic of Ireland,

:21:03. > :21:07.and was asked what it would take to prise his deputy away.

:21:08. > :21:17.As he often says his favourite phrase, rofy's boat. But me has

:21:18. > :21:20.enjoyed it here. I think it has been good for him. Is he ready to go?

:21:21. > :21:25.Yeah he could very well Andy Murray will be seeded second

:21:26. > :21:28.for the French Open, tennis' second Grand Slam

:21:29. > :21:30.of the season, when it gets Regardless of how well he does

:21:31. > :21:34.at this week's Masters series event in Rome,

:21:35. > :21:36.Murray will move back up to world number two due to Roger Federer's

:21:37. > :21:39.third round defeat today. Murray himself against

:21:40. > :21:42.France's Jeremy Chardy. Let's finish off in the pool,

:21:43. > :21:48.where Scottish diver Grace Reid helped win Britain's first gold

:21:49. > :21:51.medal at the European Championships and has now set her sights

:21:52. > :21:54.on qualifying for the Rio Olympics. Reid was ably assisted

:21:55. > :21:56.at the London Aquatics Centre by Olympic bronze medallist

:22:00. > :22:10.metre synchronized event. We should give that a go. Not the

:22:11. > :22:16.mixed obviously. Thank you. Egypt is famous for mummies, but did

:22:17. > :22:19.you know it also produced tens Many were brought back to the UK

:22:20. > :22:23.as souvenirs and they'll feature in a new exhibition which opens

:22:24. > :22:25.at Glasgow's Kelvingrove Our Arts Correspondent,

:22:26. > :22:44.Pauline McLean, reports. From cats and birds to more exotic

:22:45. > :22:50.creatures like this crocodile, there are few animals the Egyptians didn't

:22:51. > :22:54.consider preserving. Unlike human mummies, it was not for the after

:22:55. > :23:03.life - these were gifts for the gods. Mplts. They were a way of

:23:04. > :23:08.communicating with the Gods. You would give an image, maybe a bronze

:23:09. > :23:13.statue or a mummified version of an animal. There was plenty of

:23:14. > :23:24.communicating going on. Millions of animal mummies, many brought back to

:23:25. > :23:27.the UK Victorian souvenir hunters. This collection brings together a

:23:28. > :23:32.number of works which tell the story of the vast trade in animal mummies.

:23:33. > :23:38.Including this object, already familiar from the city's Burrell

:23:39. > :23:42.collection. It has a nice number of star Egyptian objects. One of which

:23:43. > :23:56.we have brought here to be the star of this exhibition and it is a

:23:57. > :24:01.gilded Ibis. One advantage that we have over ancient Egyptians and

:24:02. > :24:05.Victorian collectors is we have the technology to look inside the

:24:06. > :24:08.mummies, with some surprising results. Some of the animal mummies

:24:09. > :24:13.don't contain what we expect. So results. Some of the animal mummies

:24:14. > :24:19.researchers at the university of Manchester have been working and

:24:20. > :24:24.shown only a third of the mummies contain an animal. Some contain part

:24:25. > :24:28.of animal and the last third contain nothing. The exhibition which opens

:24:29. > :24:32.this weekend and runs to September hopes to cast fresh light on Egypt

:24:33. > :24:37.and an age-old industry. But first, here's Andrew Kerr

:24:38. > :24:49.with details of Scotland 2016. We will have the first live

:24:50. > :24:54.interview with Holyrood's new Presiding Officer Ken MacIntosh as

:24:55. > :24:58.he prepares to steer the Parliament. And the UK Government sets a course

:24:59. > :25:02.for the future of the BBC in a new White Paper. We will discuss if the

:25:03. > :25:05.corporation's independence can be guaranteed. That is at 10.30 on BBC

:25:06. > :25:18.Two. Today is the last of the warmest

:25:19. > :25:23.temperatures. Plenty of sunshine was on offer today as well as

:25:24. > :25:29.illustrated here by our weather watcher in Inverness. Thank you to

:25:30. > :25:33.TJ. We have getting some wonderful pictures. Tonight the emphasis is

:25:34. > :25:39.for a cloudier picture than we have been used to over the last few

:25:40. > :25:43.nights. But not a cold one. Here is a picture from 7pm, plenty of late

:25:44. > :25:47.evening sunshine, cloudier conditions in the far north with

:25:48. > :25:51.light and patchy rain and that will continue to sink south during the

:25:52. > :25:57.night. Further west more in the way of clearer skies and a mild night to

:25:58. > :26:01.come across the board. As we head into tomorrow morning, it is a dry

:26:02. > :26:07.and bright start for many southern parts, this cloudier picture

:26:08. > :26:10.continues to sink further south and behind that cooler air and a

:26:11. > :26:14.brighter picture with sunshine on offer. If we look at the

:26:15. > :26:19.temperatures, quite a difference to what we have been used to at the

:26:20. > :26:25.beginning of the week, particularly along the west coast. We have become

:26:26. > :26:30.used to the low 20s, now it is around 15 Celsius. But still plenty

:26:31. > :26:34.of dry and bright weather and sunshine for many parts of north and

:26:35. > :26:41.the Northern Isles. But temperatures pegged back with a fresh onshore

:26:42. > :26:45.breeze. At the weekend, although we have cooler air, we are still under

:26:46. > :26:48.the influence of high pressure and plenty of sunshine on offer. That

:26:49. > :26:52.can only be a good thing. Plenty of sunshine around through many central

:26:53. > :26:58.and southern parts. More cloud with one or two showers around in the far

:26:59. > :27:02.north, highs of around 13 Celsius and a similar story as we head into

:27:03. > :27:08.Sunday, highs again of 13 or 14 Celsius. So to recap for the

:27:09. > :27:12.weekend, plenty of sunshine around, and in the sunshine feeling pleasant

:27:13. > :27:16.and chilly at nights. Now, a reminder of

:27:17. > :27:17.tonight's main news. Holyrood has a new

:27:18. > :27:19.Presiding Officer. He's Ken Macintosh -

:27:20. > :27:21.who's been a Labour MSP Mr Macintosh told BBC Scotland

:27:22. > :27:26.he wants to re-assert the role of Parliament

:27:27. > :27:29.and he wants less hostility I'll be back with the headlines at 8

:27:30. > :27:34.and the late bulletin just Until then, from everyone

:27:35. > :27:37.on the team right across the country -

:27:38. > :27:40.have a very good evening.
