The First Minister arrived in Brussels today to a warning

:00:09.:00:11.

from Spain's prime minister that he will oppose any attempts

:00:12.:00:14.

to hold talks with Scotland over its membership of the EU.

:00:15.:00:16.

Mariano Rajoy says that if the UK goes Scotland goes too.

:00:17.:00:19.

Nicola Sturgeon has been in Brussels meeting EU officials and politicians

:00:20.:00:21.

as she attempts to keep Scotland in the EU following last

:00:22.:00:24.

Our political correspondent Glenn Campell has been

:00:25.:00:27.

They have met before, but this time the First Minister

:00:28.:00:43.

wants the EU commission president to know she is prepared to consider

:00:44.:00:47.

all options to maintain Scotland's relationship with the EU

:00:48.:00:49.

But by the time of their meeting, the Spanish Prime Minister had

:00:50.:00:59.

sought to limit those options, he said Scotland was not

:01:00.:01:02.

have the confidence to negotiate with the EU, and that Spain

:01:03.:01:05.

opposes negotiations other than those with the UK,

:01:06.:01:06.

and that if the UK leaves, Scotland leaves, as well.

:01:07.:01:17.

Spain does not want the EU to do anything to Scotland that might

:01:18.:01:20.

encourage independence movements inside Spain.

:01:21.:01:28.

And its voice matters, because whatever Scotland's future

:01:29.:01:30.

relationship with the EU, whether as part of the UK or not,

:01:31.:01:32.

it will have to be agreed by all EU member states.

:01:33.:01:38.

The First Minister seemed relaxed about Spain's intervention.

:01:39.:01:45.

I don't think it is surprisingly hear the acting Spanish

:01:46.:01:48.

Prime Minister said that, that is the view Spain has,

:01:49.:01:51.

The second thing, we are in uncharted territory

:01:52.:01:54.

and the situation compared to the situation in 2014

:01:55.:01:56.

You would need all the other EU countries...

:01:57.:02:12.

Of course, but we are at the very early stage of the process,

:02:13.:02:15.

and we will have to work our way through this, but we are not yet

:02:16.:02:19.

a week on from the referendum, and in this early stage my priority

:02:20.:02:22.

is to make sure there is an understanding across Europe

:02:23.:02:30.

that Scotland voted differently to the rest of the UK

:02:31.:02:32.

and that there is an aspiration in Scotland to protect

:02:33.:02:35.

a relationship with the European Union.

:02:36.:02:42.

Nicola Sturgeon took that message to the president of the

:02:43.:02:45.

After this appeal it was clear the First Minister would get

:02:46.:02:52.

a sympathetic hearing in Brussels but European politicians are wary

:02:53.:02:55.

about taking sides over Scottish independence.

:02:56.:03:02.

Most of my colleagues will not want to get dragged

:03:03.:03:05.

into domestic Scottish politics, the line we will take

:03:06.:03:08.

is that this is a question, the future of Scotland

:03:09.:03:10.

in the United Kingdom, which will have to be sorted out

:03:11.:03:13.

in Edinburgh and then it will have to be dealt with with London.

:03:14.:03:18.

However, the Scottish voice needs to be heard in the next weeks

:03:19.:03:20.

and months, and my colleagues will support that.

:03:21.:03:28.

Mr McAllister clashed with the only pro Leave MP in Scotland,

:03:29.:03:41.

We respect the decision of the British people.

:03:42.:03:50.

We voted as a United Kingdom and that is that.

:03:51.:03:59.

We don't want to move back, because it is not the same situation

:04:00.:04:02.

we will be moving back into and we think in terms

:04:03.:04:05.

of fisheries we can manage our affairs far better than Europe.

:04:06.:04:08.

Support for the First Minister's approach is not universal

:04:09.:04:10.

but she insists Scotland's distinctive vote in the referendum

:04:11.:04:12.

Meanwhile the SNP is pressing the case in the Commons

:04:13.:04:19.

Our Westminister correspondent Nick Eardley was following today's

:04:20.:04:22.

developments there from Scotland's point of view.

:04:23.:04:31.

The party's leader here is urging the Prime Minister to respect the

:04:32.:04:37.

result in Scotland and fight for Scotland's continued place in the

:04:38.:04:41.

EU. The Prime Minister said he was happy for Nicola Sturgeon to be in

:04:42.:04:47.

Brussels having those discussions and he would point out himself that

:04:48.:04:53.

Scotland voted differently from the UK as a whole, but he thinks

:04:54.:04:57.

Scotland's interests going forward would be better served as part of a

:04:58.:05:02.

UK wide negotiation that gets the best deal and Best access to the

:05:03.:05:03.

single market. The Chief Executive

:05:04.:05:04.

of Aberdeen City Council has offered to meet the families affected

:05:05.:05:06.

by the baby ashes scandal Angela Scott spoke to the BBC

:05:07.:05:08.

after days of pressure following a damning

:05:09.:05:12.

report into practices Kevin Keane's report contains

:05:13.:05:14.

evidence from the inquiry which some A comforting arm as Aberdeen's chief

executive finally faces the music. Alongside her, the director

:05:18.:05:26.

in charge of the crematorium whose graphic words to the inquiry have

:05:27.:05:28.

caused such offence. Things like turning ovens off

:05:29.:05:37.

at night, leaving the baby to smoke, do you believe those

:05:38.:05:40.

are acceptable comments? The damning report says babies

:05:41.:05:42.

were cremated with unrelated adults and it says staff were given no

:05:43.:05:53.

written guidance on how to handle remains until last year,

:05:54.:05:56.

despite three previous Parents say the authority did

:05:57.:05:57.

nothing to offer support. So has this chief executive shown

:05:58.:06:09.

the right leadership? It was appropriate to allow

:06:10.:06:11.

the investigation to conclude, to understand the full extent

:06:12.:06:13.

of the issues in the crematorium. Other councils offering a supporting

another report for councillors Police have named the elderly man

in the city's Bridgeton area. He was robbed and wounded

:07:18.:07:24.

in Abercromby Street around half past midnight and died

later in hospital. Police, who have launched a murder

enquiry, believe the same man may have attacked two women earlier

:07:30.:07:33.

outside Central Station This is a dangerous man. He attacked

:07:34.:07:51.

two women alone in the city centre and ultimately came here and carried

out a cowardly attack on a man in his 70s. It is imperative we catch

:07:56.:07:56.

this man. Detectives investigating

the mysterious death of a London woman whose body was found

near Edinburgh say they've They've joined her family

:08:00.:08:02.

in reissuing an appeal for help after a fresh sighting

:08:03.:08:05.

of 36-year-old Saima Ahmed emerged on Portobello beach

:08:06.:08:07.

at the end of August. Five months after her remains

were found, her death is still being Next to a tragic case

:08:10.:08:12.

of a young woman whose death On Crimewatch new information

:08:13.:08:17.

emerged about her disappearance. The ticket was purchased

:08:18.:08:21.

just after 5pm... There was a fresh appeal for help

:08:22.:08:26.

after a new witness had been traced Monday morning, 31st of August,

:08:27.:08:30.

2015, he was walking his dog on the beach and the woman he spoke

:08:31.:08:34.

to, remarked about the beach and how she wanted to see the beach

:08:35.:08:38.

and that she had travelled from London and was

:08:39.:08:41.

going back that day. Detectives want to speak to anyone

:08:42.:08:43.

who remembers seeing her in this Did she stay in a guest host locally

:08:44.:09:03.

or perhaps use public transport? They are trying to work out her last

movements. The 36 U Gould took a train from Wembley North on the 30th

:09:11.:09:15.

of August. Police believe she arrived in Edinburgh that night and

:09:16.:09:17.

new information places her on Portobello beach the next day. A

:09:18.:09:22.

postmortem could not establish how she died. The family have no idea

:09:23.:09:29.

why she would have travelled to Edinburgh, we have no family links,

:09:30.:09:33.

and it is the not knowing that is difficult. The is hopeless fresh

:09:34.:09:39.

information can jog memories and help establish what happened to her.

:09:40.:09:41.

Andy Murray says he's doing all he can to try to reel

:09:42.:09:44.

in Novak Djokovic and feels his coach Ivan Lendl can

:09:45.:09:46.

The Scot also credits his second round opponent at Wimbledon

:09:47.:09:50.

tomorrow with helping him become a better player.

:09:51.:09:52.

Well, it's been a horrible day weather-wise at

:09:53.:09:55.

Hardly any play except under the Centre Court roof.

:09:56.:10:00.

That meant a soggy practice session for Andy Murray as he prepared

:10:01.:10:02.

You could argue the man he's playing turned Murray into

:10:03.:10:09.

It was this man in the 2008 Olympics which made a 21-year-old Andy Murray

:10:10.:10:15.

He said it ultimately turned him into an Olympic and

:10:16.:10:23.

I learnt a lot from that loss, really.

:10:24.:10:29.

I certainly became a lot more professional afterwards.

:10:30.:10:34.

I was so pumped to be at the Olympics.

:10:35.:10:39.

I got caught up in everything else and forgot that

:10:40.:10:41.

Now, Lui has shown recent good grass court form.

:10:42.:10:51.

He will be much of a test for Andy Murray than

:10:52.:10:54.

If you believe in omens, how about this?

:10:55.:11:01.

Last time Ivan Lendl coached him here, Andy won the title in 201

:11:02.:11:07.

and his second round opponent was Lui again.

:11:08.:11:11.

Time now for the weather outlook for tonight and tomorrow.

:11:12.:11:27.

Good evening. For many of us it has been a dry and evening than today

:11:28.:11:33.

and many of the caught some late evening sunshine. There are still a

:11:34.:11:39.

few heavy showers around but as we head through the night they will

:11:40.:11:42.

tend to ease becoming confined to western coastal areas. Across the

:11:43.:11:47.

East, clear spells and the temperature of around nine Celsius.

:11:48.:11:52.

The West to see some showers and some could be quite heavy and if

:11:53.:11:57.

you're heading out by 8am, while it looks largely dry across the

:11:58.:12:00.

south-west and south-east there may be one or two showers around,

:12:01.:12:05.

showers across western parts and the Northwest during the morning, and

:12:06.:12:11.

dry across Aberdeenshire and Orkney and maybe some showers across

:12:12.:12:17.

Shetland. As we head through the day the showers become more widespread

:12:18.:12:22.

across the country and across Scotland and Northern Ireland and

:12:23.:12:24.

also parts of Wales and Northern Ireland. Along the spine of the UK

:12:25.:12:29.

we see some sunshine and the temperature in the mid-teens.

:12:30.:12:34.

Aberdeen up to around 18 in the sunshine and the south-east of

:12:35.:12:37.

England hangs on at around 20 Celsius. Tomorrow evening, more

:12:38.:12:43.

persistent rain pushes into the south-west of Scotland than spreads

:12:44.:12:46.

further east overnight but by the time we'd each Friday morning we are

:12:47.:12:51.

expecting just some showers to start with dry eye whether further to the

:12:52.:12:54.

east but these showers once again become more widespread on Friday and

:12:55.:12:59.

the showers on Friday are likely to be quite heavy with the risk of some

:13:00.:13:05.

thunder rant he'll and fairly slow so if you catch one it is likely to

:13:06.:13:08.

be with you for some time, and we will keep you updated but the Met

:13:09.:13:13.

office is considering a warning for Friday. The temperature in the high

:13:14.:13:21.

teens at best but fresher around western coastal areas, keep

:13:22.:13:21.

teens at best but fresher around up-to-date online.

:13:22.:13:23.

Our next update is during Breakfast at 6:25 tomorrow morning.

:13:24.:13:27.

But, from everyone on the late team here in Glasgow

:13:28.:13:30.

and around the country - good night.
