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

:00:00.:00:08.

Political leaders in Glasgow - for the British-Irish Council -

:00:09.:00:12.

talk about the impact of Jo Cox's killing.

:00:13.:00:18.

hold their surgeries and talk about their own security

:00:19.:00:21.

concerns, Our political editor examines the changing nature

:00:22.:00:23.

And Andy Murray survives an injury scare en route

:00:24.:01:15.

to the semi-finals of the Queens Club tournament.

:01:16.:01:17.

to commemorate the Labour MP Jo Cox, who was killed in her

:01:18.:01:26.

Earlier political leaders on the British-Irish Council,

:01:27.:01:29.

meeting in Glasgow, stressed their determination

:01:30.:01:31.

to continue engaging with the public but they urged an end

:01:32.:01:34.

to what they called the "vitriol" infecting politics on social

:01:35.:01:37.

to commemorate the Labour MP Jo Cox, who was killed in her

:01:38.:02:33.

Five minutes ago the First Minister led other politicians in laying

:02:34.:02:38.

wreaths and lighting candles in memory of Jo Cox and in tribute to

:02:39.:02:45.

her family. It was greeted by a round of applause orchestrated by

:02:46.:02:48.

the City Council leader who said it was a way for Glasgow to show

:02:49.:02:53.

determination solidarity with the woman who had lost her life. The

:02:54.:02:58.

situation right now is that, as I said, members of the public are

:02:59.:03:03.

going forward behind me here to light individual candles and sign

:03:04.:03:08.

the book of condolence to express their solidarity. There may be

:03:09.:03:12.

community singing later thchl is the scene later at the vigil. I caught

:03:13.:03:19.

up with the tensions and drama within politics. In Yorkshire

:03:20.:03:25.

leaders divided by party, unite in tribute to their fellow MP, Jo Cox,

:03:26.:03:32.

cruelly killed. In Glasgow, the British Irish Council meeting opens

:03:33.:03:37.

with a minute's silence. Then the reaction, the stores why. I received

:03:38.:03:41.

what the police regarded as a credible death threat. That threat

:03:42.:03:46.

to the Scottish Secretary came in a letter to his constituency office

:03:47.:03:50.

just after MPs backed air strikes against Syria last December. He

:03:51.:03:56.

urged everyone to cool down the anger poisoning politics. I think,

:03:57.:04:05.

particularly with social media, we have very, there is a

:04:06.:04:10.

characterisation of politicians. We should be held to our account and

:04:11.:04:15.

our actions questioned. It has got personal and very shrill. The talks

:04:16.:04:21.

covered the economy, social care, the European Union, but the killing

:04:22.:04:29.

cast a long, gloomy shadow. A passionate, brilliant, committed

:04:30.:04:31.

politician who made a huge contribution to public life and will

:04:32.:04:35.

be sadly missed from parliament. Above and beyond all of that the

:04:36.:04:38.

mother of two young children much I will not be the only person who

:04:39.:04:43.

couldn't sleep last night for thinking about these young kids.

:04:44.:04:46.

Political leaders from Northern Ireland are too accustomed to

:04:47.:04:49.

threats of violence. They urged resolve. I have been threatened as a

:04:50.:04:54.

result of my role within the peace process and my home has been

:04:55.:04:57.

attacked much I get up every day, I do my job, I don't do it in fear. I

:04:58.:05:02.

do it because I know the overwhelming majority of the people

:05:03.:05:05.

of Ireland support the peace process. The If there's a risk in

:05:06.:05:10.

all of that, it's certainly a risk I'm prepared to take. With social

:05:11.:05:15.

media and what have you now we take abuse, bordering on threats at

:05:16.:05:18.

times. That's unfortunately where we are today. What we musn't do is to

:05:19.:05:22.

allow the people that deliver that abuse and those sorts of threats to

:05:23.:05:28.

win. These leaders have their differences, driven by geography,

:05:29.:05:31.

history, policy, but today those were set aside.

:05:32.:05:41.

The killing serving parliamentarian is rear indeed but assaults,

:05:42.:05:47.

violence, threats, intimidation, those are not unfortunately, unknown

:05:48.:05:51.

in the political world. So how to politicians continue to cope with

:05:52.:05:54.

the daily business, their daily lives, attempting to serve the

:05:55.:06:00.

public, Andrew Kerr reports. It should be a safe place for

:06:01.:06:04.

constuts to bring their problems. Today the Labour MP, Ian Murray had

:06:05.:06:08.

a discreet police presence, although they didn't want it filmed. The

:06:09.:06:11.

parliamentary thorlingts did advice us to contact our local police to

:06:12.:06:14.

let them know if we were doing activities this weekend. We did so

:06:15.:06:18.

yesterday and we had a police officer at my open surgery this

:06:19.:06:21.

morning, which I think was the right thing to do. Not just for the pups

:06:22.:06:26.

of security, but also to give that reassurance to both the public and

:06:27.:06:35.

it the staff. Over in Glasgow, another MP who has received death

:06:36.:06:39.

threats and threats of sexual violence, after expressing support

:06:40.:06:43.

for the Kurdish community. To brush under the Carter threats that are

:06:44.:06:48.

made online, in my own circumstance, I felt that the threat was severe

:06:49.:06:52.

enough to contact the police. Other people might not do that but what we

:06:53.:06:57.

saw yesterday was that people can commit heinous acts against people

:06:58.:06:59.

in public life. MPs are now much commit heinous acts against people

:07:00.:07:03.

more vigilant as they meet the public. Although they are often

:07:04.:07:05.

seeing people at their lowest point, public. Although they are often

:07:06.:07:11.

when they are seeking help. Obviously, now, with events that

:07:12.:07:14.

have happened, you are a bit more conscience. So we have, here in the

:07:15.:07:20.

open area of a local community centre, as opposed to the private

:07:21.:07:23.

room in the back. It is going to change things slightly. Not so much

:07:24.:07:27.

too much. The surgeries will go ahead but I will certainly be much

:07:28.:07:30.

more vigilant. Friday is the day that the politicians meet the people

:07:31.:07:32.

in the community but now our MPs and that the politicians meet the people

:07:33.:07:37.

MSPs face a difficult dilemma. They want to be accessible but now they

:07:38.:07:41.

have to be very mindful of their own security. It is merciful rare formy

:07:42.:07:54.

politician to be attacked and killed but does the death of Jo Cox raise

:07:55.:07:58.

concerns about the tone of political debate? I think it does. The general

:07:59.:08:05.

tone these days of political discourse between the public and

:08:06.:08:09.

politicians can tend to be one of disdain. If you look at the scenes

:08:10.:08:13.

behind me here, it is different. The members of the public are filing

:08:14.:08:19.

forward to lay now the dozens of wreaths and candles being lit with

:08:20.:08:23.

Jo Cox's picture in the middle. They are offering sympathy and support.

:08:24.:08:27.

The general feeling is one of disdain and distrust. Of course,

:08:28.:08:31.

politicians should be held firmly to K of course they should be

:08:32.:08:34.

challenged for their actions and Frankly some of their actions have

:08:35.:08:37.

contributed to that sense of disconnect between the public and

:08:38.:08:40.

politicians, but you get this view that all politicians are in it for

:08:41.:08:49.

themselves, a bunch of rogues, it isn't true, it is trite, wrong,

:08:50.:08:53.

misplaced and unhelpful. Thank you very much, Brian.

:08:54.:08:55.

You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC.

:08:56.:08:57.

Still to come on tonight's programme:

:08:58.:08:58.

We meet the Scots film maker behind documentary on the culture of whale

:08:59.:09:02.

We're at Queens Club in London - where Andy Murray's

:09:03.:09:06.

We're in Japan with the national rugby team and we're on the diving

:09:07.:09:12.

board and in the pool with a Scots Olympian.

:09:13.:09:14.

One of the most divisive issues throughout the referendum campaign

:09:15.:09:27.

has been the rights of people from across Europe to live,

:09:28.:09:29.

work and study here and the impact that has

:09:30.:09:31.

Our Economy Editor Douglas Fraser reports now from Arbroath,

:09:32.:09:37.

where hundreds of people from Eastern Europe help gather

:09:38.:09:39.

For 600 years, this harbour has seen migrants come and G Scotland now has

:09:40.:09:57.

more than 5 million residents. Around 300,000 of them foreign

:09:58.:10:01.

nationals. Most of them from other European Union countries. It's one

:10:02.:10:05.

of the fundamental rules of the European club, that people can cross

:10:06.:10:09.

borders. Scots can go overseas to live and work and study and to

:10:10.:10:14.

retire and people can come here to do the same things in Scotland. What

:10:15.:10:19.

happens if Britain votes to leave the European Union, it's not very

:10:20.:10:22.

clear but the rhetoric suggests that there will be a real constraint on

:10:23.:10:27.

migration, which could have big implications for our berry farms,

:10:28.:10:33.

such as this one. In Angus, this farm relies on more

:10:34.:10:40.

than 800 eastern European staff to help with the summer harvest. 25

:10:41.:10:44.

years ago we were picking two or three acres we are now picking 360

:10:45.:10:49.

acres of fruit under tunnels. It couldn't be done without seasonal

:10:50.:10:54.

workforce that we have access to. It's allowed the UK consumer to be

:10:55.:11:02.

able to buy fresh fruit, consistently every day of the

:11:03.:11:05.

summer. They are good people. They mix in well with everyone that's

:11:06.:11:11.

here on the farm. And we've had some wonderful times over the years

:11:12.:11:16.

working with them. In nearby Arbroath, there are mixed views on

:11:17.:11:21.

the impact of EU migration. I think there's too many coming in. Yes. But

:11:22.:11:29.

for jobs, they are taking jobs out that our people don't want. I

:11:30.:11:32.

actually think they are more willing to work than a lot of the people

:11:33.:11:37.

from the area. So if they want to come in and work hard then I'm all

:11:38.:11:41.

for it. Now all the foreigners are here, you can't get a job on a farm

:11:42.:11:46.

or any place. And they are getting all the factory jobs as well. I'm

:11:47.:11:50.

not saying it is aed about thing, it is pretty good for the economy but

:11:51.:11:55.

it is making a lot of our people unemployed and unemployable. I think

:11:56.:12:01.

they are doing jobs that people don't want to do, so there is

:12:02.:12:05.

nothing wrong with them working here. Net migration is at near

:12:06.:12:10.

record levels N Scotland last year, it was 20 thou.d half of the UK's

:12:11.:12:15.

new members are from outside the European Union, they have to secure

:12:16.:12:20.

a veesia, the other European Union citizens who can settle in any

:12:21.:12:27.

European Union country. The UK workers, then firms can benefit

:12:28.:12:31.

through lower wage costs. In terms of those who lose out, it will

:12:32.:12:35.

primarily be the UK workers competing with the migrants for the

:12:36.:12:39.

jobs and that has tended to be the low-skilled and low-paid workers. If

:12:40.:12:43.

voters choose to leave the EU, Government in Britain could then

:12:44.:12:47.

pick who comes here, but from farms to factories, hotels to hospitals,

:12:48.:12:50.

employers will still need workers. There would have to be fresh rules

:12:51.:12:55.

for incomers and leavers. Migration remains two-way traffic.

:12:56.:13:16.

Brussels may seem a world away from some of Scotland's remote

:13:17.:13:19.

communities, but many of them rely on help from the EU -

:13:20.:13:22.

in the form of subsidies and development funds.

:13:23.:13:24.

So how is the debate playing out there?

:13:25.:13:26.

Jackie O'Brien reports now from the Scoraig Peninsula

:13:27.:13:28.

in the West Highlands - which is home to 70 people.

:13:29.:13:30.

! This is a lifeline for the Scoraig pen Ince la. With the crossing

:13:31.:13:36.

several minutes, the other route, several hours on foot, the only

:13:37.:13:40.

other altern ti. It knows a will the about independence, it is offgrid

:13:41.:13:43.

and offroad. There is hardly a car on the pen Ince la. We have had to

:13:44.:13:48.

swafbling miles today to meet residents but residents, who are

:13:49.:13:52.

responsible for their own power and water supplies, feel far from cut

:13:53.:14:00.

off from international affairs. Hugh is a wind power pioneer and one

:14:01.:14:06.

one of the first to design small turbines for domestic use. From his

:14:07.:14:12.

workshop he consults on renewable schemes across Europe and warns

:14:13.:14:15.

against severing ties. We are a part of Europe now, there are a lot of

:14:16.:14:19.

people who live here who have come from other countries. I don't feel

:14:20.:14:23.

they are foreigners. We all live and work together. I personally do a lot

:14:24.:14:26.

of business with Europeans and people from all over the world. I

:14:27.:14:30.

cannot see any advantage on turning our backs on Europe. Wits tiny

:14:31.:14:35.

population, there is little in the way of significant European

:14:36.:14:43.

investment on this peninsula. -- with this tiny population. That's

:14:44.:14:48.

bus it think it is far from Scottish society hounchts can somebody who is

:14:49.:14:52.

far remote, moved away from the seat of power, have any influence. We

:14:53.:14:59.

know how much, we are not really in the European Union as much as we

:15:00.:15:03.

would like. But along the road, a sound and sight of more European

:15:04.:15:08.

harmonies as this violin-maker entertained two German lodgers on a

:15:09.:15:12.

working holiday in Scotland. I think we have got more in common,

:15:13.:15:17.

culturally and politically, with Europe than America and I fear that

:15:18.:15:23.

we we live Europe, we'll get more closely aligned with America. I

:15:24.:15:28.

think the EU is very good for young people that they can travel around.

:15:29.:15:35.

It is supposed to be an economic joining, not political. We are

:15:36.:15:38.

in and it has got to the point where in and it has got to the point where

:15:39.:15:43.

- this is not what we have signed up for, it has changed. We have to do

:15:44.:15:47.

something different. I don't mind going along but that's enough. With

:15:48.:15:52.

their polling station a boat ride away many of the residents here have

:15:53.:15:56.

cast their referendum vote by post. While the outcome may not bring

:15:57.:15:59.

significant change to this alternative way of life, everyone

:16:00.:16:02.

here is determined to have their say.

:16:03.:16:07.

A look now, at other stories, from across the country.

:16:08.:16:10.

Edinburgh Council has appointed an architect to lead

:16:11.:16:12.

an independent inquiry into the Edinburgh school crisis.

:16:13.:16:17.

John Cole has overseen a series of major public building projects

:16:18.:16:24.

17 schools in the capital were forced to close

:16:25.:16:28.

in April after concerns over their construction.

:16:29.:16:29.

3,000 pupils remain displaced and won't be able to return

:16:30.:16:32.

to their own schools until after the summer holidays.

:16:33.:16:36.

Work has been halted on the Aberdeen bypass for seven days

:16:37.:16:39.

Heavy rain has caused the Scottish Environment Protection

:16:40.:16:43.

It's amid concerns that mud and silt is flowing from construction sites

:16:44.:16:54.

into tributaries of the rivers Dee and Don.

:16:55.:16:57.

A man wrongly accused of being a terrorist has graduated

:16:58.:16:59.

from Aberdeen University three years later than planned.

:17:00.:17:01.

Medical student, Yousif Badri, was detained after

:17:02.:17:03.

He was found not guilty by a jury after a seven week trial,

:17:04.:17:10.

a verdict the judge said he wholeheartedly agreed with.

:17:11.:17:12.

The Dobbies Garden Centre chain has been sold by its owner Tesco,

:17:13.:17:15.

but its headquarters will remain at Lasswade in Midlothian.

:17:16.:17:20.

It's been bought by two private investment firms.

:17:21.:17:22.

There are 35 Dobbies garden centres in Scotland,

:17:23.:17:25.

The captain of a Royal Navy frigate in the North Sea says his role

:17:26.:17:31.

in finding and tracking foreign warships and submarines in the area

:17:32.:17:35.

is vital for maintaining the security of the country.

:17:36.:17:38.

In the past few weeks, HMS Somerset has been detecting

:17:39.:17:40.

and escorting Russian submarines and Chinese warships

:17:41.:17:42.

We often see vessels proceeding past the United Kingdom on their right of

:17:43.:17:57.

transit, whether it be Russian or Chinese, and the UK regularly goes

:17:58.:18:03.

to monitor those veriesesels and their activities to make sure they

:18:04.:18:05.

keep clear of UK waters. Five years ago, the Scots filmmaker,

:18:06.:18:11.

Mike Day, came to the Edinburgh International Film Festival to pitch

:18:12.:18:13.

an idea for a new documentary. He wanted to explore

:18:14.:18:16.

the culture of whale hunting in the Faroe Islands -

:18:17.:18:18.

a tradition now under threat because the whales have become

:18:19.:18:21.

contaminated with marine pollution. Our arts correspondent,

:18:22.:18:23.

Pauline McLean, met him ahead of the premiere of The Islands

:18:24.:18:25.

and the Whales. A rare insight into one of the last

:18:26.:18:33.

communities in the world where whale hunting still happens. There is a

:18:34.:18:43.

long tradition of hunting whales in the islands. For Mike Day it was a

:18:44.:18:47.

long and slow process. Five years in the making. One of the many

:18:48.:18:52.

challenges he faced. In terms of the weather we lost a few cameras. One

:18:53.:18:56.

challenges he faced. In terms of the gave me an electric shock in my eye,

:18:57.:19:02.

down a cliff in the middle of the night, because it was so wet. We

:19:03.:19:05.

could be sitting there for three months waiting for that to happen

:19:06.:19:10.

and to capture that. It was a sensitive subject so no-one had been

:19:11.:19:14.

able to really film it the way we had, from the outside at least. The

:19:15.:19:20.

whale hunters face opposition, not just from anti-whaling campaigners,

:19:21.:19:23.

but from their own community who are concerned about the increase in

:19:24.:19:30.

Mercury, and other pollutants in whale meat. It's about how we live

:19:31.:19:39.

with the natural world. The Faroe's are a microcosm for the pollution we

:19:40.:19:45.

face. Mercury can be reversed. He the United Nations are trying to

:19:46.:19:50.

reduce Mercury emissions worldwide. If it's not done it will double we

:19:51.:19:57.

will all face the dilemma that our food is contaminated and damaging

:19:58.:20:01.

the health of our children. Mike Day is back to premier the finished film

:20:02.:20:05.

along with a number of the community who helped him make it.

:20:06.:20:14.

giving British tennis fans a bit of a fright in the process.

One set to love up and heading for the semi-finals. Then...

:20:55.:21:04.

COMMENTATOR: Oh, dear, oh, no. I hope the noise was worse than any

:21:05.:21:07.

injury he might have. It's alwayses... Sharp intakes of breath

:21:08.:21:15.

all round, and 10-days before Wimbledon, cause for concern. You

obviously don't expect that. It comes out of nowhere. It's a shock

:21:19.:21:21.

obviously don't expect that. It at first. The then you're fine. Did

:21:22.:21:26.

the slipup affect him? COMMENTATOR: Yes. A bit. Losing the

:21:27.:21:33.

second set and his temper. Composure regained, Murray wins the deciding

:21:34.:21:37.

set, 6-1. COMMENTATOR: That's it. I tried to

:21:38.:21:40.

set, 6-1. up my intensity and try to be a

:21:41.:21:43.

little more aggressive at the beginning of the set and it worked.

:21:44.:21:49.

COMMENTATOR: Andy Murray is through to the semi-final here... The Scot

everywhere we're surrounded by Japanese culture. Their culture is

:22:26.:22:28.

based on pride. When Scotland knocked them out of the Rugby World

:22:29.:22:32.

Cup last year, the Japanese were upset. On the back of last year we

:22:33.:22:36.

have a foundation to build on from now. Going forward, especially

:22:37.:22:41.

towards the 2019 World Cup, obviously it's the first home game

:22:42.:22:48.

for us as a campaign, we are looking forward to it. The Scottish team

:22:49.:22:51.

for us as a campaign, we are looking trained outside the city centre.

:22:52.:22:57.

Looking back to the World Cup, it was close for a time. I really felt

:22:58.:23:01.

we pulled away and played extremely well in the game. I felt we stepped

:23:02.:23:06.

forward in the six nation this is year. We feel as a team we are in a

:23:07.:23:10.

good place and want to move forward and win the next couple of Test

:23:11.:23:15.

matches. One man with a unique perspective on tomorrow's match is

former Edinburgh coach, who is now kroechg one of Japan's top club

sides. Certainly, there are lots of parents and things trying get their

:23:27.:23:29.

kids into rugby at a younger age. It's good to see. With that comes

:23:30.:23:32.

expectation, so the results at the World Cup, while they were good, the

:23:33.:23:38.

new audience expects Japan rugby team to play like that all the time.

:23:39.:23:43.

Tomorrow it's to be fine and sunny. The Scots are in for a hot reception

:23:44.:23:45.

in more ways than one. Edinburgh athlete, Grace Reid,

:23:46.:23:53.

says it was a massive relief making the British Diving Team for the Rio

:23:54.:23:56.

Olympics. The European Gold medal winner has

:23:57.:23:58.

been named in the team for the Games in August and has been speaking

:23:59.:24:01.

to our reporter, Jane Lewis. It's twisty, it? Yes. You get dizzy.

:24:02.:24:08.

You have made the diving team, how much of a relief was that? What was

:24:09.:24:13.

the reaction when you found out? I just screamed for a good five

:24:14.:24:16.

minutes. So excited. You know, there be has been such a build-up to this

:24:17.:24:21.

it's a relief. If I'm going, I want to do well. I'm not going to make up

:24:22.:24:26.

numbers. What have you learnt from this season? If I go in confident

:24:27.:24:31.

and believe in my ability and the training and work I put in, that is

:24:32.:24:35.

enough to stand me in good stead. When you are competing with Tom

:24:36.:24:41.

Daley at the Europeans, I know you won't at the Olympics, how helpful

:24:42.:24:44.

is it to have someone with his experience? Amazing. So much media

:24:45.:24:50.

interest with Tom, a fantastic athlete. Great to have him push me

:24:51.:24:54.

in a way. I wanted to step up and prove I was right to be his partner

:24:55.:24:58.

at the Europeans. I think I did that. When you are standing here,

:24:59.:25:01.

about to go, what goes through the mind again? Honestly, not a lot. We

:25:02.:25:04.

about to go, what goes through the kind of - I get a few coaching

:25:05.:25:08.

comments. I stand on the board, think about them briefly and I kind

of blank and go into that muscle memory and allow my body to do what

:25:12.:25:13.

it can. What an ending. That's tonight's

:25:14.:25:16.

sport. Thanks for that. Now the weather: good evening to

:25:17.:25:27.

you. It was a fairly cloudy and for some a wet day. A sunny glow. There

:25:28.:25:32.

is sunshine on the way. Here is the latest satellite and radar picture.

:25:33.:25:35.

A bank of cloud across the country. The West Coast there was sunshine as

November night, temperatures 8-10 Celsius. Cooler in the north-west

cloud will thin and break. For most of us, as we head through the course

be lighter than they have been around northern coasts. 16-19

walking and climbing across western ranges there will be plenty of

sunshine. There is a risk of sun burn. Across eastern ranges the

showers, warmest and sunniest in the east. That's the forecast for now.

Thank you, Christopher. That's all for now. We will leave you this
