further. By handing this seemingly good intentions lies a deliberate

malice. If there are serious about building consensus and negotiating

in good faith, then they would have taken a second referendum off the

table. In turn, this man attacked the Tories. He said hard-working

let Scotland down now. And outside the chamber,

this former Belgian Prime Minister who is

the Scottish Government on Brexit thinks some EU member

states would be nervous about Especially a country

:04:47.:04:49.

like Spain, with a secessionist movement

:04:50.:04:55.

in Catalonia and the Basque country, but also

:04:56.:04:58.

in other countries around

:04:59.:04:59.

Europe, where you have regions which at least

:05:00.:05:03.

have a tendency towards secession,

:05:04.:05:05.

for example, Belgium. The First Minister has made clear

:05:06.:05:11.

she is prepared to explore all options to protect

:05:12.:05:13.

Scotland's relationship with the European Union,

:05:14.:05:15.

including independence. She is seeking direct talks

:05:16.:05:20.

with the governments and institutions of the EU,

:05:21.:05:22.

and they will begin here in Brussels tomorrow, when Nicola Sturgeon comes

:05:23.:05:25.

to the parliament to meet its Meanwhile, at Westminster the

:05:26.:05:45.

political turmoil continues with a Tory leadership battle and a vote of

:05:46.:05:50.

no-confidence in the Labour leader. Earlier today, the Scottish Labour

:05:51.:05:57.

leader had this to say. I took on this job round about the same time

:05:58.:06:02.

as Jeremy Corbyn was elected leader. We have assembler process and

:06:03.:06:07.

similar mandate. I have 72% of Scottish Labour behind me. If I had

:06:08.:06:10.

just lost 80% of Parliamentary colleagues, I simply could not do my

:06:11.:06:14.

job. I think it's extremely difficult Jeremy Corbyn to continue.

:06:15.:06:22.

Our political correspondence has been monitoring events at

:06:23.:06:26.

Westminster. Those comments, a real sign of just how much pressure

:06:27.:06:30.

Jeremy Corbyn is under tonight. But no sign here at Westminster at

:06:31.:06:34.

least, that he is about to stand down from the position. He said

:06:35.:06:38.

tonight that he wouldn't betray the members who elected him. We fully

:06:39.:06:42.

expect it to be a leadership challenge in the coming days. In the

:06:43.:06:49.

car Scottish contest, a sign of just how difficult things could be for

secretary position past Mr Jeremy Corbyn remained in post. The SNP

:07:01.:07:05.

tonight said that wasn't good enough. They have called for a

:07:06.:07:08.

decision to be made as soon as possible. We are in a remarkable

:07:09.:07:12.

situation where the leader of the SNP here at Westminster, is more

:07:13.:07:16.

support than the national leader of the Labour Party. Tomorrow, focus is

:07:17.:07:20.

likely to switch at least in part to who will take over as the new

:07:21.:07:26.

Conservative leader. Stephen Crabb, and Liam Fox are likely to throw

:07:27.:07:27.

their hat in the ring. They'll be up and Liam Fox are likely to throw

:07:28.:07:31.

against Tory big beasts including Boris Johnson and Theresa May.

:07:32.:07:39.

Investigators in Norway say a helicopter which crashed had

:07:40.:07:44.

previously been involved in a road accident. Fatigue crack has been

:07:45.:07:49.

identified as the most likely cause of the accident. The accident, which

:07:50.:07:55.

happened before it was installed on the EC two to five, instigated the

:07:56.:08:00.

subsequent failure of the component. The manufacturer says a lorry

:08:01.:08:04.

crashed while transporting the main gearbox. It points out that no link

:08:05.:08:07.

has yet been established between the two accidents. Ian Stewart from

:08:08.:08:13.

Aberdeenshire was one of 13 people who died in the accident in April.

:08:14.:08:22.

One of the three members of the Scottish Child Abuse inquiry

:08:23.:08:24.

has resigned from the panel, blaming the Scottish Government

:08:25.:08:27.

for interfering in its work and threatening its independence.

:08:28.:08:29.

Michael Lamb said there had been repeated threats to the enquiry. A

:08:30.:08:35.

major review was scheduled to last four years, but has been criticised

:08:36.:08:39.

by survivors of abuse. The government said it entirely rejects

:08:40.:08:48.

Mr Lamb's comments. Pressure is mounting on Aberdeen's City Council

:08:49.:08:52.

after it was heavily criticised for cremating bodies of babies as

:08:53.:08:56.

unrelated adults. Some parents have said it shows a lack of empathy

:08:57.:09:02.

towards them. It's Chief Executive is still refusing to answer

:09:03.:09:09.

questions. This child died from cot death and his ashes were never

:09:10.:09:14.

returned. Like others, his parents now know it's possible he was

:09:15.:09:22.

created with unrelated adults. They say that the council has done

:09:23.:09:26.

nothing to support them. They need to start getting in touch with the

:09:27.:09:29.

parents that are affected by this. Any to start coming out and

:09:30.:09:31.

answering the questions that have now been opened up, more so now by

:09:32.:09:39.

the result of the report. Yesterday, the council's Chief Executive

:09:40.:09:42.

offered an apology but refused to answer the many questions still

:09:43.:09:49.

hanging. How complicit was the authority in the cover-up, why when

:09:50.:09:52.

practices investigated fully? Why have parents been left so alone? The

:09:53.:09:59.

National investigation followed the scandal at the cemetery near

:10:00.:10:03.

Edinburgh, where babies' ashes were scattered without their parents'

:10:04.:10:09.

knowledge. The report focused on 14 crematoria across Scotland, but

:10:10.:10:13.

Aberdeen was by far the worst. This lawyer says the handling of parents'

:10:14.:10:17.

grief has been equally shocking. It's an entirely different attitude

:10:18.:10:22.

Aberdeen have taken to other councils we have been working with,

:10:23.:10:27.

other crematoria. They have taken a very shutdown, drawbridge, closed

:10:28.:10:31.

approach, which slows no regard or empathy to our clients. We've tried

:10:32.:10:37.

again today to speak to the Chief Executive of Aberdeen City Council,

:10:38.:10:41.

but were told she was out of town. Her predecessor, who now works in

:10:42.:10:44.

Northern Ireland, has not returned our calls. The elected leader says

:10:45.:10:50.

the chief executive enjoys her full confidence. She's also declined

:10:51.:10:55.

requests to speak to us. And mounting pressure, this she give

:10:56.:11:03.

executive will face questions tomorrow, reporting Scotland,

:11:04.:11:04.

Aberdeen. And now for the weather forecast for

:11:05.:11:14.

tonight and tomorrow. Good evening to you all. Most of us have had

:11:15.:11:19.

quite a cloudy day and evening. Overnight, it remains cloudy for

:11:20.:11:22.

many of us with fabrics of showery rain. Weather front after weather

front being pushed in from the Atlantic. The winds are generally

:11:27.:11:30.

light, but rain is a quite heavy and persistent at times. Overnight, we

:11:31.:11:36.

will continue to see showery outbreaks of rain. These mainly

:11:37.:11:41.

confined to more northern areas, with clearest bales for more central

:11:42.:11:43.

confined to more northern areas, and southern parts. For all, widely

tomorrow, largely dry conditions across the South with some dry

:12:21.:12:25.

In the rest of the UK, we will see one of these weather fronts pushing

:12:26.:12:29.

through bringing outbreaks of rain. It is feeling much cooler,

:12:30.:12:33.

temperatures around the mid to high teens, around average for the time

:12:37.:12:41.

spells across Northern Ireland later in the day, and some brighter spells

for the Southwest and West Coast. Heavy showers across the far north

of Scotland could come with the odd rumble of thunder, could last into

:12:49.:12:54.

much of the day as well. Into Thursday, some dry moment and then

:12:55.:12:57.

we will start to see some showery conditions toward the West. Later on

:12:58.:13:05.

in the day, some outbreaks of showery rain. For most of us on

:13:06.:13:08.

Thursday, there will be some dry weather around the showers,

:13:09.:13:11.

especially during the course of the morning. By the afternoon, they

:13:12.:13:13.

become more frequent. It doesn't really feel like the end

:13:14.:13:23.

of June. Our next update is during breakfast at 6:25am tomorrow. From

everyone on the late team here in Glasgow and across the country, good
