:05:46. > :05:50.political turmoil continues with a Tory leadership battle and a vote of
:05:51. > :05:57.no-confidence in the Labour leader. Earlier today, the Scottish Labour
:05:58. > :06:02.leader had this to say. I took on this job round about the same time
:06:03. > :06:07.as Jeremy Corbyn was elected leader. We have assembler process and
:06:08. > :06:10.similar mandate. I have 72% of Scottish Labour behind me. If I had
:06:11. > :06:14.just lost 80% of Parliamentary colleagues, I simply could not do my
:06:15. > :06:22.job. I think it's extremely difficult Jeremy Corbyn to continue.
:06:23. > :06:26.Our political correspondence has been monitoring events at
:06:27. > :06:30.Westminster. Those comments, a real sign of just how much pressure
:06:31. > :06:34.Jeremy Corbyn is under tonight. But no sign here at Westminster at
:06:35. > :06:38.least, that he is about to stand down from the position. He said
:06:39. > :06:42.tonight that he wouldn't betray the members who elected him. We fully
:06:43. > :06:49.expect it to be a leadership challenge in the coming days. In the
:06:50. > :06:54.car Scottish contest, a sign of just how difficult things could be for
:06:55. > :06:55.Corbin. -- in the Scottish context. Someone told me today that nobody
:06:56. > :07:00.will take up the set shadow Scottish Someone told me today that nobody
:07:01. > :07:05.secretary position past Mr Jeremy Corbyn remained in post. The SNP
:07:06. > :07:08.tonight said that wasn't good enough. They have called for a
:07:09. > :07:12.decision to be made as soon as possible. We are in a remarkable
:07:13. > :07:16.situation where the leader of the SNP here at Westminster, is more
:07:17. > :07:20.support than the national leader of the Labour Party. Tomorrow, focus is
:07:21. > :07:26.likely to switch at least in part to who will take over as the new
:07:27. > :07:27.Conservative leader. Stephen Crabb, and Liam Fox are likely to throw
:07:28. > :07:31.their hat in the ring. They'll be up and Liam Fox are likely to throw
:07:32. > :07:39.against Tory big beasts including Boris Johnson and Theresa May.
:07:40. > :07:44.Investigators in Norway say a helicopter which crashed had
:07:45. > :07:49.previously been involved in a road accident. Fatigue crack has been
:07:50. > :07:55.identified as the most likely cause of the accident. The accident, which
:07:56. > :08:00.happened before it was installed on the EC two to five, instigated the
:08:01. > :08:04.subsequent failure of the component. The manufacturer says a lorry
:08:05. > :08:07.crashed while transporting the main gearbox. It points out that no link
:08:08. > :08:13.has yet been established between the two accidents. Ian Stewart from
:08:14. > :08:22.Aberdeenshire was one of 13 people who died in the accident in April.
:08:23. > :08:24.One of the three members of the Scottish Child Abuse inquiry
:08:25. > :08:27.has resigned from the panel, blaming the Scottish Government
:08:28. > :08:29.for interfering in its work and threatening its independence.
:08:30. > :08:35.Michael Lamb said there had been repeated threats to the enquiry. A
:08:36. > :08:39.major review was scheduled to last four years, but has been criticised
:08:40. > :08:48.by survivors of abuse. The government said it entirely rejects
:08:49. > :08:52.Mr Lamb's comments. Pressure is mounting on Aberdeen's City Council
:08:53. > :08:56.after it was heavily criticised for cremating bodies of babies as
:08:57. > :09:02.unrelated adults. Some parents have said it shows a lack of empathy
:09:03. > :09:09.towards them. It's Chief Executive is still refusing to answer
:09:10. > :09:14.questions. This child died from cot death and his ashes were never
:09:15. > :09:22.returned. Like others, his parents now know it's possible he was
:09:23. > :09:26.created with unrelated adults. They say that the council has done
:09:27. > :09:29.nothing to support them. They need to start getting in touch with the
:09:30. > :09:31.parents that are affected by this. Any to start coming out and
:09:32. > :09:39.answering the questions that have now been opened up, more so now by
:09:40. > :09:42.the result of the report. Yesterday, the council's Chief Executive
:09:43. > :09:49.offered an apology but refused to answer the many questions still
:09:50. > :09:52.hanging. How complicit was the authority in the cover-up, why when
:09:53. > :09:59.practices investigated fully? Why have parents been left so alone? The
:10:00. > :10:03.National investigation followed the scandal at the cemetery near
:10:04. > :10:09.Edinburgh, where babies' ashes were scattered without their parents'
:10:10. > :10:13.knowledge. The report focused on 14 crematoria across Scotland, but
:10:14. > :10:17.Aberdeen was by far the worst. This lawyer says the handling of parents'
:10:18. > :10:22.grief has been equally shocking. It's an entirely different attitude
:10:23. > :10:27.Aberdeen have taken to other councils we have been working with,
:10:28. > :10:31.other crematoria. They have taken a very shutdown, drawbridge, closed
:10:32. > :10:37.approach, which slows no regard or empathy to our clients. We've tried
:10:38. > :10:41.again today to speak to the Chief Executive of Aberdeen City Council,
:10:42. > :10:44.but were told she was out of town. Her predecessor, who now works in
:10:45. > :10:50.Northern Ireland, has not returned our calls. The elected leader says
:10:51. > :10:55.the chief executive enjoys her full confidence. She's also declined
:10:56. > :11:03.requests to speak to us. And mounting pressure, this she give
:11:04. > :11:04.executive will face questions tomorrow, reporting Scotland,
:11:05. > :11:14.Aberdeen. And now for the weather forecast for
:11:15. > :11:19.tonight and tomorrow. Good evening to you all. Most of us have had
:11:20. > :11:22.quite a cloudy day and evening. Overnight, it remains cloudy for
:11:23. > :11:26.many of us with fabrics of showery rain. Weather front after weather
:11:27. > :11:30.front being pushed in from the Atlantic. The winds are generally
:11:31. > :11:36.light, but rain is a quite heavy and persistent at times. Overnight, we
:11:37. > :11:41.will continue to see showery outbreaks of rain. These mainly
:11:42. > :11:43.confined to more northern areas, with clearest bales for more central
:11:44. > :11:48.confined to more northern areas, and southern parts. For all, widely
:11:49. > :11:56.dipping to around eight or 12 Celsius. To my morning, largely aid
:11:57. > :12:01.dry start. If you showers in the north. If you are heading out at AGM
:12:02. > :12:10.tomorrow, largely dry conditions across the South with some dry
:12:11. > :12:14.spells, sunshine. -- at 8am tomorrow. Shetland, very different
:12:15. > :12:20.sort of day competitor when you have seen today. It will be cloudy with
:12:21. > :12:25.outbreaks of rain the morning. -- day compared to what you have seen.
:12:26. > :12:29.In the rest of the UK, we will see one of these weather fronts pushing
:12:30. > :12:33.through bringing outbreaks of rain. It is feeling much cooler,
:12:34. > :12:36.temperatures around the mid to high teens, around average for the time
:12:37. > :12:41.of year but it will feel cooler under the cloud. Some brighter
:12:42. > :12:45.spells across Northern Ireland later in the day, and some brighter spells
:12:46. > :12:48.for the Southwest and West Coast. Heavy showers across the far north
:12:49. > :12:54.of Scotland could come with the odd rumble of thunder, could last into
:12:55. > :12:57.much of the day as well. Into Thursday, some dry moment and then
:12:58. > :13:05.we will start to see some showery conditions toward the West. Later on
:13:06. > :13:08.in the day, some outbreaks of showery rain. For most of us on
:13:09. > :13:11.Thursday, there will be some dry weather around the showers,
:13:12. > :13:13.especially during the course of the morning. By the afternoon, they
:13:14. > :13:23.become more frequent. It doesn't really feel like the end
:13:24. > :13:27.of June. Our next update is during breakfast at 6:25am tomorrow. From
:13:28. > :13:28.everyone on the late team here in Glasgow and across the country, good
:13:29. > :13:32.night.
