weekend. That's it from the BBC News at six, time | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
Muirfield Golf club is stripped of the right to host the Open | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
championship after its members vote against allowing women to join. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
I'm disappointed, because we recommended a vote in favour of | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
admission of women. I hope there is another way to overturn this. I hope | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
there is a way to look through this again. | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
Also on the programme, Cal Mac sees off private competition | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
to win the contract for west coast ferry services. | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
Failures in the system of farm payments, | :00:39. | :00:40. | |

One of the accused in the Liam Fee murder trial says there was nothing | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
she could have done to prevent the toddler's death. | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
And a year after winning the Scottish Cup | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
John Hughes is set to leave Inverness after falling | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
Nicola Sturgeon has called the decision of Muirfield Golf Club | :00:58. | :01:21. | |
to reject women as members "indefensible". | :01:22. | :01:22. | |
A vote at the East Lothian club failed to achieve the two-thirds | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
majority of members required to allow women to join. | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
from hosting the Open Championship as a result. | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
VOICEOVER: Muirfield, the oldest recorded golf club in the world, | :01:32. | :01:41. | |
responsible for the original rules, it is a change to the role on | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
membership which has concentrated the minds on the club, women can | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
only play here as guests of visitors, to allow them to become | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
members needed a two thirds majority, most members voted for | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
change, that still was not enough. I'm disappointed, the committee and | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
direct amended membership vote in favour of admission of women but we | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
respect the views of the members and I'm delighted we have had a high | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
turnout. The captain was hardly back in the clubhouse before a statement | :02:14. | :02:24. | |
was issued by those that run the open, the R | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
the First Minister leaves that Muirfield has missed the chance not | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
just of hosting the championship but to do the right thing. This is | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
indefensible, they are a private club, in charge of their own rules | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
and regulations but this is 2016, Scotland has women leaders in every | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
walk of life, politics, the law, business, everywhere else, this | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
decision is wrong and I hope there is a way of looking at it again. The | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
Prime Minister David Cameron chipped in today, criticising Muirfield as | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
outdated, and one mile down the road from the Muirfield club, golfers | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
agreed. Given that the Army have women members, Augusta, Augusta | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
courses. -- given that the R the courses. -- given that the R the | :03:18. | :03:28. | |
-- given that the R have female members. When the open was last at | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
Muirfield in 2013, it was estimated to be worth ?70 million to East | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
Lothian, the loss of the open is a big disappointment for local | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
business. It is a big impact for us, not just the competition, it is the | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
run-up to it, we have two months to business beforehand, usually we use | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
that for planning things, and three forwards afterwards. It is a loss of | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
three months business. Muirfield is the most prestigious of clubs, at | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
more than 600 clubs in Scotland, it is one of 20 who are all men, 25 are | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
all women. STUDIO: Our Sport reporter Brian | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
McLauchlin is at Muirfield for us. Brian, the decision by the R | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
won't have come as a big surprise to the members voting at Muirfield | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
will it? Certainly not, throughout the | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
two-year consultation process, the committee here at Muirfield | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
constantly warned the members that the R could take this decision and | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
take away the club's membership status as an Open Championship | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
venue, and indeed, in eight weeks' time, the 145th Open Championship | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
takes place at Royal Troon, another club where women are not allowed to | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
join, as members now within the last few days, I understand, the members | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
at Royal Troon have been canvassed in regards to their opinions, and | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
indeed, hopefully a vote will take place later this year, but looking | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
at it, Royal Troon and Muirfield, they could be without two of their | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
most iconic Open Championship venues within just a few months. | :05:07. | :05:32. | |
The ferry operator, Cal Mac, has seen off competition from a private | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
sector rival -- and won a ?900 million contract to provide Clyde | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
and Hebridean ferry services for up to eight years. - The Scottish | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
Government faced criticism after announcing private companies would | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
have the chance to bid. But its decision to award the contract to | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
Cal Mac has been welcomed by islanders and union leaders. | :05:45. | :05:45. | |
Our transport correspondent, David Miller, reports: VOICEOVER: Up and | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
down the West Coast, varies bearing the distinctive black white and red | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
livery have been providing lifeline services for so long that they are | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
almost regarded as part of the scenery. We now know that will not | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
change any time soon, good news, we scenery. We now know that will not | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
are told, for staff and passengers. The last few years I have had a few | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
years at a time to see what we can invest in, now that is eight years, | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
proper development, investment, enhancements, in the last four years | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
we have brought in for new vessels, that is fantastic, in the next two | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
years we will bring on for new vessels, and new tonnage as well, | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
that is a fantastic opportunity, the next eight years looks fantastic. Do | :06:22. | :06:29. | |
Island agree, this was the reaction? Most islanders enjoyed giving them a | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
kicking from time to time. I think that one of the things that we have | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
seen personally, this brought up, was the fact that Cal Mac is very | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
much embedded, as the First Minister has said, into the fabric of | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
Scotland. We need new ferries, they need back-up, a ferry goes down in | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
the middle of summer, totally used, that would cause havoc. It is good, | :07:00. | :07:09. | |
Cal Mac do a good job. I think that it is a great thing that they have | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
got it back, they do a good job, I am very pleased. Meanwhile, Cal Mac | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
workers and politicians attending this long planned demonstration at | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
Holyrood found themselves overtaken by events. The members who work on | :07:24. | :07:32. | |
the service, the communities, the Highland communities, the Scottish | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
taxpayer, we are delighted for all of them, they will continue to | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
subsidise lifelong ferry service rather than staff the pockets of | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
shareholders. The rival bidder already operates North Link varies | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
to Auckland and shiny, in a statement it said that its tender | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
had been deemed to be noncompliant, stressed its bid had offered | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
significant improvements to quality and reliability and argued | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
efficiency improvements now promised by Cal Mac underlined the benefits | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
of competitive tendering. After months of uncertainty, months of | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
anxiety, a decision is made, a deal is done. Cal Mac workers and the | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
island communities which depend upon them will be hoping for calmer | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
waters ahead. STUDIO: The farmers' | :08:19. | :08:40. | |
union has called on the Scottish Government to "get | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
to grips" with what it calls The spending watchdog, | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
Audit Scotland has raised serious concerns about a new IT programme | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
which is MILLIONS of pounds over Our business correspondent | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
David Henderson is here and can Sally, in the past, Scotland's | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
farmers and crofters used to apply for their EU subsidies by filling | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
in pieces of paper. through a Scottish government | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
scheme called CAP Futures. But this IT system is set to cost | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
the taxpayer far more The budget has spiralled | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
from ?102 million, And Audit Scotland says | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
the new system has seen "multiple failures" | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
in the way it's been managed. VOICEOVER: Farmers the length and | :09:15. | :09:25. | |
breadth of Scotland, from Nairn to Lockerbie, have had a difficult | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
year, European subsidies, a mainstay of most farms, have been delayed, | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
because of problems with the new farm payment scheme. If you are used | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
to being paid in December and do not get it until January, February, in | :09:39. | :09:46. | |
some cases even made, it is quite stressful, that way. Families do not | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
get paid, the whole supply chain does not get paid. -- farmers do not | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
get paid. Fences do not get sorted, outside work does not happen, the | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
whole infrastructure of the rural community has ground to a halt. At | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
this office in Edinburgh, the Scottish Government has been | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
developing a computer system to process those farm payments. More | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
than 80 months ago, this man said it began to go badly wrong. -- 18 | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
months ago. I send an e-mail immediately to Nicola Sturgeon and | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
the agriculture Minister, to say, are you aware of what is going on? | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
John was working on the project, he says that thousands of competent | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
workers were being laid off for no apparent reason, he says that when | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
he blew the whistle, some inside the programme team were not impressed. | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
The main thing I received at that point was pressure to shut up. They | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
wanted this silent, they wanted me to be put on one side and kept | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
quiet. Among the issues he says he raised were concerns about a | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
conflict of interest involving a contract on the programme. Dominic | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
became the delivery director with a major role in recruiting staff, but | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
he also supplied workers to the project through his own company. | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
Accounts seen by the BBC show his firm 's assets have soared in value, | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
by ?3 million, in just a year. It is always important when public money | :11:20. | :11:21. | |
by ?3 million, in just a year. It is is involved that the highest | :11:22. | :11:23. | |
standards are maintained, and conflict-of-interest is must be | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
dealt with. The conflict was known about the safeguards put in place | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
were not strong enough to make sure the person could not influence the | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
criminal decision. In response the Scottish Government says it has | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
focused on putting the system right, preventing similar mistakes in the | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
future. What the audit Scotland report identifies is a potential | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
flaw in the arrangements, we require staff to declare | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
conflict-of-interest, but it is not a requirement on contract is, we | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
have got to explore whether in procurement rules and legislation we | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
can apply that to contractors. -- contracts. So that is the future, | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
but for now, police Scotland are investigating what went wrong, and a | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
crucial deadline is looming. -- contract, | :12:14. | :12:24. | |
the Scottish Government could face a penalty of up to ?120 million. | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
Police Scotland are investigating what went wrong. | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
The new payment system has to be working by the end of June. | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
If, by then, it still fails to meet standards set | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
by the European Commission, then the Scottish government | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
could face an eye-watering penalty, of up to ?125 million. | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
One of two women accused of murdering Liam Fee has denied | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
intentionally deleting three phone calls to her mother | :12:50. | :12:50. | |
Nyomi Fee also insisted there was nothing she could have | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
Steven Godden reports from the High Court in Livingston. | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
VOICEOVER: On the left, Rachel Feit, on the right, her partner, giving | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
evidence for a third day, under cross-examination she was asked why | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
on the night that the two-year-old died, she deleted three phone calls | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
to her mother, she said that she did not delete them on purpose, her | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
phone is damaged, held together by tape, I clicked highlight and | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
deleted them by mistake. In response it was said that it seemed odd, that | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
within that cluster, this is the only three not deleted. Focusing on | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
the build-up to the death, Nyomi Fee was asked, would you change | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
anything? She said, yes, I would have got medical attention for him, | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
I suspected that his leg was injured, she denied the suggestion | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
that the one thing that she could have done to prevent this was leave | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
them alone and never have taken up with her. Later, her best friend | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
wept as she recalled a phone call telling her that Liam was dead. The | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
explanation was that one of the boys have harmed him and it went too far. | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
Nyomi Fee, the jewellery were told treated the tenure of like a son. -- | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
jury. He was said that she had no problem with him staying with Nyomi | :14:05. | :14:13. | |
Fee before the death. Would you trust care to someone who suspected | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
that the toddler might have a broken leg but refused to taken to | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
hospital, she replied no. They deny murder, and abusing two other boys | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
in their care, the trial at the High Court in Livingston continues. | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
STUDIO: If ever there's an industry in Scotland that's fate has been | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
bound to the European Union, it's fishing. | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
The Fishing for Leave campaign, launched today in Peterhead, | :14:44. | :14:45. | |
says the Common Fisheries Policy has been a disaster. | :14:46. | :14:47. | |
But as Kevin Keane now reports, not everyone in the sector believes | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
that rushing to exit is for the best. | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
VOICEOVER: If there was a leave vote in June, people would be putting the | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
flags out, in fact they already are, bringing misery to their industry | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
and many have wanted the European Union to end for decades. They will | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
not let this boat go by without highlighting the change to the | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
community. Peterhead is one of the few survivors, and Peterhead alone, | :15:12. | :15:20. | |
has seen a 60 to 70% decrease. Grimsby, Aberdeen, whole, open, air, | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
Fleetwood, these towns synonymous with fishing, they are gone. Fish | :15:25. | :15:34. | |
was big business in the past, but the constant flow of both coming in | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
and out, that is now long gone. -- Hull, Oban, Ayr. Only the oil supply | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
ships keep them in trade. In Hull, Oban, Ayr. Only the oil supply | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
Peterhead it is not quite so bad, but this skipper has witnessed the | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
decline and would like fishing rights repatriated. Scotland and | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
Norway both owned the northern North Sea, negotiate with one another! | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
The Common Fisheries Policy has had a heavy effect on ports like this. | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
There's no doubting that Peterhead and other fishing communities are | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
very heavily in favour of the UK leaving the European Union. But this | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
processor says that decades of hardship from the Common Fisheries | :16:21. | :16:28. | |
Policy is finally paying off. We have thriving species and everything | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
is looking positive, throwing that away and say, we are going back to | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
square one, would be very dangerous. Much of this fish ultimately ends up | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
on dinner plates on the continent so the relationship with Europe is | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
complex. I think the closure of the Russian market illustrates the real | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
risks that there are for the industry. If we find ourselves | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
disconnected from many important customers in Europe. This is an | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
industry which is no stranger to fight, one over the EU could be its | :17:01. | :17:02. | |
most passionate. Now a brief look at other stories | :17:03. | :17:04. | |
from around the country... Reconviction rates for offenders in | :17:05. | :17:15. | |
Scotland have fallen to their lowest level for 17 years according to | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
official figures. In the year 2013-14 just over a quarter of | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
offenders were reconvicted within AEF. Figures show that those being | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
released from short jail sentences were more likely to reoffend than | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
those given longer sentences or those sentenced to community orders. | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
An attempt is underway to ditch controversial legislation aimed at | :17:41. | :17:49. | |
tackling sectarianism. The Glasgow MSP said it was time to axe the | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
hated law now that the SNP no longer had a majority at Holyrood. First | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
Minister Nicola Sturgeon said it was a strange priority for opposition | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
parties but she would discuss their concerns. 17 Scottish beaches have | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
been classed as excellent in terms of water quality under a new, much | :18:10. | :18:18. | |
stricter European standard. However 17 others are now rated as poor | :18:19. | :18:27. | |
under the new system. An area around Oban on the West Coast of Scotland | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
has been hit by two mini earthquakes, the strongest was last | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
night, 1.9 on the Richter scale and it was felt by residents in and | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
around the town. A 1.3 magnitude quake was recorded by the British | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
geological survey a few days earlier. Two Scottish postcodes are | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
among the luckiest postcodes for a big lottery wins. Paisley and | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
Kilmarnock followed Truro in Cornwall for the biggest winners per | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
head over the last two years. Now the sport with David. High tension | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
at Falkirk and Inverness? You are reading my script! Good evening. | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
John Hughes is on his way out of Inverness. | :19:12. | :19:13. | |
The man who lead Cally Thistle to their first major trophy | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
is negotiating details of a package to sever his ties with the club. | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
His relationship with the board breaking down in recent months - | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
with the player budget for next season central to that tension. | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
His star shone brightly but it now appears rather briefly at Inverness, | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
last week 's match against Dundee almost certainly being his last as | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
the manager. There has been a fallout somewhere between the | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
chairman and manager. Unfortunately when that happens, and bridges are | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
repaired, Something s Gotta Give and in this case it's looking like it | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
will be John. It was different a year ago, Inverness welcoming home | :19:55. | :20:02. | |
their hero. The manager of the Scottish Cup winners, Inverness | :20:03. | :20:04. | |
Caley Thistle! CHEERING Scottish Cup winners, Inverness | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
He was also manager of the year with Caley Thistle, finishing third in | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
the Premiership. Tensions emerged when the club refused to let him | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
speak to Dundee United about moving there and it deepened with disputes | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
over his playing budget. Losing the fight to resign the top scorer who | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
joined Aberdeen was perhaps the last straw. His successor will face | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
similarly tight financial restraints. The budget is set for | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
the season. I think they have something like ten players to find | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
on a budget so it will be a tough job for someone. It's a great | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
opportunity as well because it's a fantastic club. History will no | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
doubt Tibbetts had to Hughes, the man nicknamed Yogi will be a hard | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
act to follow. -- tip its hat. Well our Senior football reporter | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
Chris Mclaughlin is at Falkirk stadium this evening ahead | :21:01. | :21:02. | |
of the Premeirship promotion play off final first leg | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
against Kilmarnock, evening Chris. We'll talk to you about that | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
in a minute, but first what do you know about who's likely | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
to takeover from John Hughes Well, first of all, as you said, | :21:10. | :21:21. | |
John Hughes and Inverness will have to agree a severance package which | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
may not be simple given their financial constraints but one | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
suggestion is that Richie Foran could step up. He is popular with | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
the fans and has been at the club since 2009 but hasn't played for the | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
past couple of years because of injury. That would make financial | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
sense as well. Popular with the fans and players. If he was to step up | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
the suggestion would be that he would need an experienced man beside | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
him, first and foremost John Hughes and Inverness must agree the | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
severance package. Tonight's match now, supporters are beginning to | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
arrive, behind you, plenty at stake tonight with Championship Falkirk at | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
home to Premiership Kilmarnock. Absolutely, no need to water the | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
pitch, it is throwing it down for the past half-hour. A massive game | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
for both of the sides. For Falkirk it's about promotion from the | :22:19. | :22:27. | |
Championship. Relegated in 2010. For Killy it's all about survival, they | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
haven't been relegated in 23 years, all of the form and momentum with | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
Falkirk, not losing in seven games. Kilmarnock have only won three and | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
17. Just the first game in two. The second on Sunday at Rugby Park. You | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
can listen to that match live on BBC radio Scotland. | :22:49. | :22:59. | |
exhibition by the Scottish artist Jacqueline Donnachie. | :23:00. | :23:12. | |
It's called "Deep in the Heart of Your Brain", and follows a five | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
year period of research with women affected by myotonic dystrophy. | :23:16. | :23:17. | |
A progressive muscle wasting disorder. | :23:18. | :23:18. | |
It's a very personal subject for the artist, | :23:19. | :23:20. | |
since the condition runs in her own family. | :23:21. | :23:22. | |
Our arts correspondent Pauline McLean reports. | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
It's rare to find the worlds of science and medicine meeting in an | :23:27. | :23:34. | |
art gallery. But it's an ongoing interest for Scots artist Jacqueline | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
Donaghy and a very personal one. The connection with science came about | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
through my family being diagnosed with an inherited condition called | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
myotonic dystrophy. I don't have it but a lot of people in my family did | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
and I wanted to find out more. In an initial way it was a desire to gain | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
more knowledge which set me on the course of talking to doctors. She | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
spoke to sets of sisters where one had the gene and the other didn't, | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
mirroring her own family 's experience. The film has won acclaim | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
from art and medical experts. For the Gallery of modern Art this | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
exhibition offers a way into difficult discussion into care and | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
loss as well as the chance to well over -- win over a very different | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
audience. What I love about the space is the different groups of | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
people that sometimes an expected in an arts space and the conversation | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
that it generates especially around contemporary art but in particular | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
shows like this that have other themes running through it which are | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
kind of relating to wider discussions on science and health. | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
Indeed a number of talks and workshops will be staged here over | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
the next six months, culminating in a symposium in November in which | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
academics, artists and patients will discuss many of the issues raised by | :24:59. | :24:59. | |
the show. Now over to Shelley Joffre | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
for details of tonight's edition Tonight, just a day after the Rooney | :25:05. | :25:15. | |

It's now time for the weather. Hopefully some improvement after a | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
miserable day here. Have you got any good news? There is some good news | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
for tomorrow. Good evening. It has been grey and miserable with a bit | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
of rain around, the rain is now pushing into Aberdeenshire and | :25:47. | :25:48. | |
Shetland where we have seen largely dry weather today. Behind the rain | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
heavy showers and some clearer spells as well developing towards | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
western areas. Take a closer look and some of the showers are | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
spreading towards us and have had the odd rumble of thunder. We will | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
continue to see some of those showers as we had through the | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
evening. Clearer spells at times. Not particularly cold. The rain will | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
eventually clear by the early hours. It is an improving day. Some breaks | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
in the cloud with brighter spells and some sunshine by late afternoon. | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
Still a risk of sharp showers around by the afternoon, too. By 4pm, one | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
or two showers in Shetland but here temperatures could reach 13 degrees, | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
warmer than in recent days. Across Aberdeenshire 17 or 18 degrees. | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
Winds will be generally light. A good deal of sunshine around. The | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
South West in particular will see high cloud coming through but | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
temperature wise it is still fairly warm out there, 1718 degrees at | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
best. This rain is associated with this | :26:59. | :27:16. | |
weather picture for Friday night with rain coming through which may | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
be quite heavy and persistent. Eventually clearing through four | :27:20. | :27:21. | |
Saturday morning. Saturday will be dried to start but then we will see | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
showers coming in from the south and spreading northwards, quite heavy at | :27:25. | :27:26. | |
times with a risk of hail and thunder next in. There will be some | :27:27. | :27:29. | |
drier and brighter spells around, and temperature wise, fairly warm, | :27:30. | :27:31. | |
14-15d. Some sunshine for the Northern Isles. If we look ahead to | :27:32. | :27:33. | |
Sunday, there will still be further showers with some of those on Sunday | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
quite heavy and potent with a risk of hail and thunder. You can get all | :27:37. | :27:42. | |
of the details on the website. That's the forecast. Thank you. | :27:43. | :27:45. | |
Now, a reminder of tonight's main news... | :27:46. | :27:47. | |
Nicola Sturgeon has called the decision of Muirfield Golf | :27:48. | :27:49. | |
Club to reject women as members "indefensible". | :27:50. | :27:50. | |
A vote at the East Lothian club failed to achieve the two-thirds | :27:51. | :27:53. | |
majority of members required, to allow women to join. | :27:54. | :27:56. | |
The club has been barred from hosting the Open Championship | :27:57. | :27:58. | |
That's it from Reporting Scotland for now, I will be back with the | :27:59. | :28:10. | |
headlines at 8pm and the late bulletin just after the ten o'clock | :28:11. | :28:12. | |
news. Good evening. | :28:13. | :28:15. |
