You can see more on all of today's stories on the BBC News Channel.

:00:00.:00:00.

But do stay with us on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.

:00:00.:00:09.

The First Minister has said anyone planning to use their EU referendum

:00:10.:00:13.

vote as a way to win Scottish independence should vote

:00:14.:00:16.

However, Nicola Sturgeon's opponents say she's sending mixed

:00:17.:00:23.

The comments came as referendum campaigning resumed

:00:24.:00:27.

Today, slowly but surely, campaigning in Scotland ahead

:00:28.:00:38.

of the EU referendum began to get back to normal.

:00:39.:00:42.

Supporters of a vote to leave the European Union were out

:00:43.:00:44.

on the streets of Glasgow in the hope of winning more backers.

:00:45.:00:48.

In Edinburgh, the Remain side was making its case.

:00:49.:00:51.

Also campaigning today, the First Minister.

:00:52.:00:56.

Nicola Sturgeon says a second independence referendum could be

:00:57.:00:58.

triggered if the rest of the UK votes to leave the EU

:00:59.:01:02.

But she wants the UK to stay and had this message for voters.

:01:03.:01:11.

If you are basing your decision, and I am not, but if you are basing

:01:12.:01:15.

it on what you think is best for the case

:01:16.:01:18.

of Scottish independence, do not vote to leave.

:01:19.:01:20.

Conservative MSP Graham Simpson who backs a Brexit says that put

:01:21.:01:33.

It is simply not credible that every single SNP parliamentarian thinks

:01:34.:01:37.

If you are a nationalist, which clearly I am not,

:01:38.:01:49.

it seems to me it is the natural thing to want to leave

:01:50.:01:52.

Campaigning had been suspended since the killing of MP Jo Cox

:01:53.:01:55.

There is no gesture of a link but this campaign has brought

:01:56.:02:07.

controversial issues like immigration to the forefront

:02:08.:02:08.

of the public debate, so could there be now a change

:02:09.:02:11.

I think it will cause those in the forefront of the campaign

:02:12.:02:15.

to be a little more careful with their words, but I do not hold

:02:16.:02:18.

with the view that this murder had anything,

:02:19.:02:20.

or was directly to do with some of the more unpleasant

:02:21.:02:23.

So after a tragic event which has united political opponents in grief,

:02:24.:02:39.

it is now on to a final push for arguments before voters go

:02:40.:02:42.

mother-of-four Kirsty Aitchison, whose body was recovered

:02:43.:02:52.

Flowers were placed at the side of the river today,

:02:53.:02:59.

while an online fundraising drive is asking for contributions

:03:00.:03:02.

towards her funeral costs and to support her children.

:03:03.:03:04.

Kirsty Aitchison had been at a social event for the deaf

:03:05.:03:12.

community last Saturday afternoon and was last seen by friends leaving

:03:13.:03:16.

a bar in Sauchiehall Street at three on Sunday morning.

:03:17.:03:19.

She was captured on CCTV holding her high heels

:03:20.:03:21.

Extensive searches were organised involving police divers

:03:22.:03:28.

Those close to her organised appeals.

:03:29.:03:34.

her body was discovered in the River Clyde.

:03:35.:03:41.

Police are not treating her death as suspicious.

:03:42.:03:49.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon will confirm the plans

:03:50.:03:53.

when she addresses the Royal College of Nursing congress

:03:54.:03:55.

She will say that discussions will begin over the summer

:03:56.:04:01.

with the aim of putting health staffing on a statutory basis.

:04:02.:04:04.

The RCN welcomed the promise, but said it would only work

:04:05.:04:07.

if it was backed up with funding for extra staff.

:04:08.:04:12.

Tennis, and Andy Murray warmed up for Wimbledon in perfect fashion,

:04:13.:04:14.

by winning the grass court tournament at London's Queen's Club.

:04:15.:04:17.

He's now won the competition a record five times,

:04:18.:04:19.

overtaking the likes of John McEnroe, Boris

:04:20.:04:20.

The Scot took on Milos Raonic and it did not go the favourite's way,

:04:21.:04:38.

losing the first set to the Canadian on a tie-break.

:04:39.:04:43.

broken all tournament but Murray managed in the second set.

:04:44.:04:48.

And he then went on to win the second set

:04:49.:04:50.

He took it 6-3 in the last set to set the scene for Wimbledon at

:04:51.:04:54.

Now, let's get tonight's weather forecast and a look ahead to

:04:55.:04:58.

Good evening. And a very good evening to you at home. This is the

:04:59.:05:07.

shortest night, tomorrow will be the longest day. We have arrived at the

:05:08.:05:11.

summer solstice already. Tonight our breaks of rain will clear and it

:05:12.:05:14.

will be confined to Shetland courtesy of this weather front. It

:05:15.:05:18.

is not seen much investment at all so a bit of a shock to the system.

:05:19.:05:23.

As the rain clears will see a change in the wind direction. This sets us

:05:24.:05:24.

up for the week. Westerly winds and

:05:25.:05:40.

that means for the East of Scotland drier and brighter weather. We will

:05:41.:05:42.

see some changeable spells and some good sunny spells and dry weather

:05:43.:05:44.

interspersed with showers at times. It's that cloudy in the West with

:05:45.:05:47.

one or two showers. Sunshine in the East. The remote clear from

:05:48.:05:50.

Shetland. As far as the rest of the UK, Northern Ireland brightens up as

:05:51.:05:54.

old Yorkshire. We have this area of rain running across the South and

:05:55.:05:58.

that will bring misty and muggy conditions. They will gradually

:05:59.:06:03.

clear to the ease by cloud. Temperatures under that cloud at 21

:06:04.:06:07.

degrees. In Scotland, we could see 21 degrees for inland parts of

:06:08.:06:11.

Aberdeenshire, a big change. Typically 17 or 18 degrees. Sunny

:06:12.:06:17.

weather elsewhere, cold in the North. Showers for the Northwest.

:06:18.:06:21.

weather elsewhere, cold in the Quite windy here. Plenty of dry and

:06:22.:06:24.

sunny weather through central, Southern and Eastern Scotland. That

:06:25.:06:26.

is your forecast. Our next update's at 6:25am tomorrow

:06:27.:06:27.

morning during Breakfast. Until then, from everyone

:06:28.:06:30.

on the weekend team, enjoy the rest
