It will be 11pm in Scotland. On BBC One it is time

:00:00.:00:00.

The First Minister has told BBC Scotland that she's in talks

:00:07.:00:09.

with Gibraltar to find common ground in their efforts to maintain links

:00:10.:00:13.

The initiative came from Gibraltar's Chief Minister

:00:14.:00:17.

after both Scotland and Gibraltar voted to remain in the EU while

:00:18.:00:21.

Nicola Sturgeon said she would pursue all avenues

:00:22.:00:27.

Here's our political editor, Brian Taylor.

:00:28.:00:34.

This afternoon, Nicola Sturgeon held talks with the Irish president,

:00:35.:00:37.

but she's prepared to look even further afield in search

:00:38.:00:40.

She has agreed to talks with Gibraltar's Chief Minister.

:00:41.:00:47.

Gibraltar voted overwhelmingly to stay in the EU.

:00:48.:00:50.

For Gibraltar, for Northern Ireland, for London and for Scotland,

:00:51.:00:55.

this idea that we can be ripped out of the European Union against our

:00:56.:00:58.

will, with all the damaging consequences that will flow

:00:59.:01:00.

So I will forge alliances where possible.

:01:01.:01:11.

It is down to Holyrood to implement EU laws here, so MSPs might be

:01:12.:01:19.

But it is Westminster that has the final say on

:01:20.:01:24.

Could doing a reverse Greenland be on the table?

:01:25.:01:31.

The Arctic territory is part of Denmark, but opted out of the EU

:01:32.:01:35.

Could Scotland opt in after the UK leaves?

:01:36.:01:42.

Greenland is a remote territory of Denmark.

:01:43.:01:44.

Scotland and the UK are much more closely linked.

:01:45.:01:46.

So what would that leave on the table?

:01:47.:01:50.

In this expert in the law says Brussels might talk to Scotland,

:01:51.:02:05.

that issues like trade and free movement are ultimately our route to

:02:06.:02:06.

Scottish independence. Any continuing arrangements relating

:02:07.:02:07.

specifically to Scotland will be part of a broader process

:02:08.:02:10.

of an emergent independent Scotland in the EU,

:02:11.:02:12.

which will require a new referendum I don't think Scotland could enjoy

:02:13.:02:16.

semi-EU membership while in the UK. MSPs will be asked tomorrow to back

:02:17.:02:25.

the Scottish Government's attempt to maintain relations

:02:26.:02:28.

with the European Union. The motion makes no

:02:29.:02:31.

mention of independence. As ministers seek the widest

:02:32.:02:39.

possible support. Tories say a second independence

:02:40.:02:42.

referendum should be off the table. We were asked that question

:02:43.:02:45.

about whether we should stay part We voted on it, and that

:02:46.:02:48.

should be respected. People are seeing the instability

:02:49.:02:51.

that the vote has caused We don't need further division

:02:52.:02:53.

and instability on top of that. Seeking to reassure markets,

:02:54.:02:58.

the Chancellor has ruled out Boris Johnson says that signals the

:02:59.:03:03.

end of Project Fear. Nicola Sturgeon says it is a pity

:03:04.:03:16.

that Project Fear has been Meanwhile at Westminster,

:03:17.:03:18.

addressing the Commons for the first time since the vote,

:03:19.:03:21.

David Cameron said the UK's exit from Europe would be the most

:03:22.:03:24.

complex and important to be undertaken by the civil

:03:25.:03:27.

service in decades. Here's our political

:03:28.:03:28.

correspondent, Nick Eardley. Today was the first chance for MPs

:03:29.:03:38.

to meet in parliament and discuss the implications of last Thursday's

:03:39.:03:44.

vote. The Prime Minister wanted to give a message of stability. But he

:03:45.:03:48.

also want to talk of healing some of the winds of the referendum,

:03:49.:03:51.

bringing the country back together again. But perhaps an early

:03:52.:03:55.

indication of just how difficult that could be. The SNP's Angus

:03:56.:04:01.

Robertson saying the result and Scotland was clear, that he wouldn't

:04:02.:04:06.

allow Scotland to be dragged out of the EU against its will. He said

:04:07.:04:09.

that that required an independence referendum to happen, so be it. And

:04:10.:04:16.

other divisions night in the Labour Party. Jeremy Corbyn has faced open

:04:17.:04:20.

revolt today. And perhaps just a sign of how many Rob and he bases in

:04:21.:04:27.

that he's not managed to replace Ian Murray, the shadow Scottish

:04:28.:04:30.

Secretary, who resigned yesterday. The latest reshuffle has come out,

:04:31.:04:36.

and so far there isn't a new shadow Scottish Secretary. We'll find out

:04:37.:04:39.

more whether he can fill that position and more about Jeremy

:04:40.:04:41.

Corbyn's future tomorrow. The operators of the M's theme

:04:42.:04:43.

park say a roller-coaster which derailed yesterday had

:04:44.:04:45.

passed its annual safety Ten people, most of them children,

:04:46.:04:47.

were injured when a carriage of the Tsunami ride plunged 20 feet

:04:48.:04:51.

after it became detached The director of the theme park,

:04:52.:04:53.

which is near Motherwell, said he'd never seen an incident like it in 50

:04:54.:04:58.

years in the business, and was heartbroken that

:04:59.:05:01.

people had been injured. Panic and confusion,

:05:02.:05:03.

as an afternoon at a theme park which should have been fun turned

:05:04.:05:10.

very quickly to fear. Carriages from a roller-coaster fell

:05:11.:05:14.

20 feet onto an area below, part of it on to ride

:05:15.:05:18.

for very young children. One dad who was queueing

:05:19.:05:21.

for the roller-coasters thinks something went wrong

:05:22.:05:24.

on the ride before it crashed. It came to a very, very quick

:05:25.:05:29.

halt, as if the brakes I saw the frame of the

:05:30.:05:32.

roller-coaster shudder and shake. Firefighters worked alongside police

:05:33.:05:40.

and paramedics to free the nine passengers from the crashed

:05:41.:05:46.

carriages, mostly children. They say they arrive

:05:47.:05:50.

to see chaotic scenes. The front carriage was in

:05:51.:05:53.

an upside-down position, twisting to carriages

:05:54.:06:04.

the right way up. The ones in the rear

:06:05.:06:06.

were upside down. So you were dealing with a lot

:06:07.:06:08.

of child casualties, so that must have brought an extra

:06:09.:06:10.

dimensional to the rescue? There was a lot of distress,

:06:11.:06:13.

from the casualties It's something I don't think

:06:14.:06:15.

you can actually train for, for dealing with the distress

:06:16.:06:22.

that the children were He has chest, abdomen and leg

:06:23.:06:39.

injuries. Another new boy is also still serious, but his grandad was

:06:40.:06:45.

glad to post an update today and social media, saying Dr's efforts to

:06:46.:06:51.

save his arm and hand had succeeded. This couple were also hurt on the

:06:52.:06:56.

right. Katie has been discharged, but William is still being treated

:06:57.:07:00.

for any injury after flying out of his seat. That this is by far the

:07:01.:07:07.

worst incidents, There have been a number

:07:08.:07:09.

of occasions at M's over the years where firefighters have been called

:07:10.:07:12.

to free people from roller-coasters that have got stuck,

:07:13.:07:14.

including the Tsunami ride involved But M's insists that the Tsunami

:07:15.:07:16.

had recently passed We have never had an incident

:07:17.:07:19.

like this before in 50 years. We are heartbroken that people have

:07:20.:07:23.

come to Alma Park and been injured The Health and Safety Executive has

:07:24.:07:27.

mechanical and engineering experts on site to examine the wreckage

:07:28.:07:33.

and see if they can find out why They are looking at the structure

:07:34.:07:36.

of the roller-coasters. With the news emerging that one

:07:37.:07:43.

passenger was thrown from the ride, passenger restraints

:07:44.:07:47.

will have to be looked at, as well as the overall

:07:48.:07:50.

mechanics of the ride. Tonight, there are a total of seven

:07:51.:07:55.

children, aged between 11 and 16, being treated in hospital

:07:56.:08:00.

following yesterday's crash. A report into the operation

:08:01.:08:07.

of crematoria in Scotland has found what it describes as unethical

:08:08.:08:10.

and abhorrent practices in Aberdeen The report - by the former

:08:11.:08:13.

Lord Advocate Dame Elish Angiolini - found babies were cremated

:08:14.:08:19.

alongside unrelated adults. The inquiry was prompted by a BBC

:08:20.:08:23.

Scotland investigation It is where people come to grieve

:08:24.:08:26.

and find comfort, but for 15 years, the practices here only

:08:27.:08:34.

made things worse. Until 2010, the bodies of babies

:08:35.:08:39.

would be placed in these burners All the ashes would go

:08:40.:08:42.

to the adults' relatives. Parents of the infant were told

:08:43.:08:48.

there was nothing to hand over. Nicola's son Liam was born

:08:49.:08:53.

prematurely in 2002, She feels betrayed by the people

:08:54.:08:57.

who were meant to help her. I don't think they understand how

:08:58.:09:04.

much they have hurt people. I mean, we don't even have anything

:09:05.:09:24.

left... Even if we find that the remains and it was scattered, we

:09:25.:09:25.

would know where to go, but nothing. In two previous enquiries,

:09:26.:09:29.

staff misled investigators It was an anonymous whistle-blower

:09:30.:09:32.

who revealed the truth. Today, the Chief Executive

:09:33.:09:34.

of Aberdeen City Council offered The loss of a baby is devastating

:09:35.:09:40.

for parents and families, and we are deeply sorry

:09:41.:09:44.

for the distress our past You talk about transparency,

:09:45.:09:47.

but you are walking off as soon Instead, it was left to a string

:09:48.:10:00.

of deputies to provide answers. Part and parcel of the initial

:10:01.:10:05.

thing, staff were asked to come forward with anything that concerned

:10:06.:10:08.

them about procedures, so we could examine them to see

if there was anything The bit about babies in with adults

:10:11.:10:12.

was not brought forward. Hazlehead is one of 14 crematoria

:10:13.:10:21.

across Scotland cited in the report, but it is the one by far

:10:22.:10:26.

the most heavily criticised. The Scottish Government says it

:10:27.:10:29.

will follow all the recommendations laid out, including the legislation

:10:30.:10:32.

to make what happened Kevin Keane, Reporting Scotland,

Aberdeen. The Scottish breast screening

:10:37.:10:47.

programme is to be reviewed after it emerged invitations to thousands

:10:48.:10:50.

of women were delayed. The problem first came to light

:10:51.:10:52.

when a woman contacted a breast screening centre in August 2015

:10:53.:10:55.

to report that she had not been called for an appointment

:10:56.:10:58.

for more than three years. She was among about 3,800 women

:10:59.:11:00.

affected. The Scottish Government

:11:01.:11:02.

has asked Healthcare Improvement

:11:03.:11:04.

Scotland to investigate. And though the weather with

Christopher. Thank you. Really you can see why, low pressure up to

the northwest. All spinning around, rain, showers, some sunshine, a bit

:11:23.:11:30.

breezy and it will feel cool. That's the next seven days. Today we have

:11:31.:11:34.

sunshine and showers. A lovely picture from one of our Weather

:11:35.:11:39.

Watchers in Inverness. Tonight there could be showers confined to the

:11:40.:11:43.

north and Western Isles. Recently dry with sunny spells, 10 degrees in

:11:44.:11:51.

cities. First thing tomorrow and the Central Belt some sunshine around. A

:11:52.:11:56.

decent start to Tuesday. Towards Argyll, through the Highlands and

Islands, a of showers. Similar towards per-share and Aberdeenshire.

:12:01.:12:06.

Fife and Angus, it generally dry with sunshine. The showers friendly

frequent, dry start the day for Orkney and Shetland. That showers

are with us, and look at this area of rain edging into words the south.

:12:24.:12:28.

That is connected to this area of low pressure pushing through the

Irish CE, pushing towards northern England and Wales. Perhaps just East

Anglia and Kent Stein drive. Temperatures around 20 Celsius here.

:12:38.:12:46.

Elsewhere rather soggy, mid-teens. Parts of Scotland may be 17 degrees,

:12:47.:12:50.

but a wet afternoon. A lot of drive towards the west later on, fewer

:12:51.:12:55.

heavy showers. Into Wednesday, wet weather pushing in, how far north it

:12:56.:13:03.

comes is open to doubt. It could well push into the Southern uplands,

:13:04.:13:09.

maybe the Central Belt. But for many and Scotland come Wednesday, another

:13:10.:13:13.

dry day and breezy. Then Thursday onwards, staying unsettled, rain

:13:14.:13:19.

showers at times. Some bright spells in between, but breezy and feeling

:13:20.:13:22.

cool. That's the forecast for now. Our next update is during Breakfast

at 6:25 tomorrow morning. But from everyone on the late
