Here on BBC One it's time for the news where you are.

:00:00.:00:17.

The First Minister has launched a stinging attack

:00:18.:00:20.

on the Conservatives at Holyrood - accusing them of bringing Scotland

:00:21.:00:23.

and the UK to the brink of economic crisis over Brexit.

:00:24.:00:28.

Nicola Sturgeon said the Tories were now "throwing in the towel",

:00:29.:00:30.

by refusing to back direct talks between Scotland and the EU.

:00:31.:00:36.

The Tory leader Ruth Davidson said Scottish trade with the rest

:00:37.:00:39.

of the UK was more important than EU links.

:00:40.:00:42.

Here's our political editor Brian Taylor.

:00:43.:00:46.

Like all political leaders, Nicola Sturgeon is now

:00:47.:00:53.

beset with uncertainty, the realm of known unknowns to quote

:00:54.:00:56.

We don't know who the Prime Minister is going to be.

:00:57.:01:00.

She is certain of one thing is, the Tories are to blame.

:01:01.:01:06.

The Conservatives have recklessly brought this country

:01:07.:01:08.

I will continue to do the job I was elected for and that is to

:01:09.:01:14.

I would not be fit to be First Minister if I did not do that.

:01:15.:01:19.

Ruth Davidson regretted Brexit but said it was a mistake

:01:20.:01:27.

to contemplate independence as a response.

:01:28.:01:29.

Our exports to the EU are worth ?11.6 billion but our exports

:01:30.:01:32.

The UK single market is four times more important to us

:01:33.:01:40.

The Labour leader warned of economic decline.

:01:41.:01:44.

The economic experts are clear, we must prepare for the worst

:01:45.:01:47.

and that means more job losses and further austerity.

:01:48.:01:52.

The First Minister said she was seeking to keep Scotland

:01:53.:01:57.

in the EU and would look at all options, adding...

:01:58.:02:03.

My starting point in these discussions is not independence

:02:04.:02:05.

She sought to silent ironic Conservative laughter by arguing

:02:06.:02:13.

that those who backed the UK in the referendum had

:02:14.:02:15.

now ended up putting EU links in jeopardy.

:02:16.:02:17.

Willie Rennie of the Liberal Democrats piled in, he regretted

:02:18.:02:23.

that Tory actions had build support for independence.

:02:24.:02:25.

Patrick Harvie of the Greens urged UK legislation to guarantee that EU

:02:26.:02:32.

citizens who had moved here could stay here.

:02:33.:02:36.

Neo-Nazi stickers have appeared in Glasgow claiming white zones

:02:37.:02:41.

and there are also reports that first, second and even third

:02:42.:02:43.

generation migrants have been told to go home.

:02:44.:02:51.

He sought support in condemning such behaviour.

:02:52.:02:53.

The response from the First Minister...

:02:54.:02:55.

One certainty then in a miasma of doubt.

:02:56.:03:04.

A former EU judge - who's advising the First Minister on Brexit -

:03:05.:03:07.

has suggested Scotland may need to become an independent country,

:03:08.:03:10.

if it wants to secure access to the single market.

:03:11.:03:13.

Professor Sir David Edward has told the BBC he thinks that

:03:14.:03:16.

a Norway, or Iceland style relationship may be a better option.

:03:17.:03:19.

Here's our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell.

:03:20.:03:28.

The crowd rallying outside Holyrood on Wednesday

:03:29.:03:29.

The First Minister says she is exploring all options

:03:30.:03:35.

to continue our EU links, especially access

:03:36.:03:36.

Sir David Edward thinks that may not be possible unless Scotland

:03:37.:03:44.

And if it does, during the two-year Brexit negotiation period,

:03:45.:03:51.

he is not convinced there would be enough time for Scotland to secure

:03:52.:03:54.

I find it extremely difficult to envisage that those negotiations

:03:55.:04:02.

could be conducted to bring it to a successful conclusion

:04:03.:04:05.

by the time that final breach between the UK and the EU.

:04:06.:04:16.

But he believes there is another option.

:04:17.:04:19.

It would be possible to negotiate potential membership of the EEA.

:04:20.:04:28.

Membership of the EEA, the European Economic Area,

:04:29.:04:32.

is what Gordon Brown has suggested for the whole of the UK.

:04:33.:04:37.

But the First Minister, on her visit to Brussels, did not seem keen.

:04:38.:04:40.

I think the best thing is for us to stay in the EU.

:04:41.:04:45.

What you get with the Norway solution is all the obligations

:04:46.:04:48.

of EU membership, the benefits of the single market,

:04:49.:04:50.

but you don't have a seat around the table trying to

:04:51.:04:53.

Norway and Iceland are in the EEA and Iceland's top diplomat

:04:54.:04:59.

in Europe told me it works for her country.

:05:00.:05:04.

It serves us well, it gives us access to the internal market

:05:05.:05:09.

of the EU but it does not include the Common Fisheries Policy

:05:10.:05:14.

which is very important for us, the common agricultural policy,

:05:15.:05:19.

and it is not a customs union which means we can negotiate

:05:20.:05:22.

free-trade agreement with countries outside the EU.

:05:23.:05:26.

In order to get access to the single market, do you have to accept

:05:27.:05:30.

Of course we do and we think that is beneficial for us.

:05:31.:05:36.

What works for Iceland may not suit Scotland or the wider UK but Brexit

:05:37.:05:40.

opened up new horizons and new uncertainties.

:05:41.:06:01.

John Baker was attacked in Abercrombie street early on

:06:02.:06:07.

Wednesday morning and died later in hospital. Police say enquiries

:06:08.:06:07.

but orders had to be given. For seven days, the British had

confidence was said to be high and there were even some

cheers as the men walked, not ran, but walked

toward the German lines. They had received

today, Yen Hsun Lu. In this power battle,

the outcome was only Yen Hsun Lu taking a 3-1

easily, it helps. You don't take so much

:11:08.:11:09.

for tonight and tomorrow. For most of us quite a cloudy

:11:10.:11:28.

evening with showers continuing in the far north and west. Some late

:11:29.:11:31.

glimmers of sunshine, this for my weather watcher in Aviemore. For

:11:32.:11:37.

most, largely cloudy and we will see more outbreaks of rain because there

:11:38.:11:43.

is a weather front pushing into the south-west, north-west of England

:11:44.:11:46.

spreading eastwards overnight tonight and by tomorrow morning only

:11:47.:11:51.

the remnants across the coast line but some showers pushing into the

:11:52.:11:56.

West of the country and through the morning the showers will become

:11:57.:12:00.

widespread and heavy. A closer look at 8am, some dry weather but some

:12:01.:12:06.

scattered showers. The showers mainly towards the west, the

:12:07.:12:10.

Northwest and early brightness across the North East and the

:12:11.:12:14.

remnants of the rain across Shetland with temperatures around 11 or 12.

:12:15.:12:20.

Throughout the day, showers become widespread, spreading further

:12:21.:12:23.

eastwards and there may be a rumble of thunder across Scotland, Northern

:12:24.:12:27.

Ireland and the shower was quite heavy and slow moving across the

:12:28.:12:32.

North. Elsewhere, moving through quickly with a fresh breeze.

:12:33.:12:36.

Temperatures in the mid or high teens but feeling cooler in the

:12:37.:12:42.

showers. Tomorrow evening, showers are still with us, some could be

:12:43.:12:46.

quite heavy, some late brightness. For the weekend, Saturday is a

:12:47.:12:50.

similar day, showers spreading eastwards, they could be heavy at

:12:51.:12:54.

times with rumbles of thunder but breezy on Saturday so showers moving

:12:55.:13:01.

through swiftly. Temperatures around 15 to 16 degrees. In the showers, it

:13:02.:13:07.

will feel cooler and the best of the brightness is likely further east.

:13:08.:13:11.

If we look ahead to Sunday, it will be rather cloudy for many, fewer

:13:12.:13:16.

showers, showers in the north of the country, the best of the brightness

:13:17.:13:22.

will be further towards the east and temperatures in the mid-teens.

:13:23.:13:24.

Our next update is during Breakfast at six twenty five tomorrow morning.

:13:25.:13:28.
