:00:10. > :00:13.The chair of the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry resigns.

:00:14. > :00:18.It follows efforts by the Scottish Government to remove

:00:19. > :00:20.Susan O'Brien from post following what they describe

:00:21. > :00:22.as "unnacceptable comments" about the abuse of children.

:00:23. > :00:25.But she says moves to dismiss her were based on misunderstandings

:00:26. > :00:40.It was to be a four-year enquiry headed by one of Scotland's leading

:00:41. > :00:46.QCs, and just what months ago it made this call. If you are in the

:00:47. > :00:57.care of the state in any sense, then we would like to hear from you. But

:00:58. > :00:58.comments from Susan O'Brien have nosiness investigation collapse

:00:59. > :01:05.before it has got started. -- have nosiness investigation collapse

:01:06. > :01:10.led to this investigation collapsing. The complaint came from

:01:11. > :01:16.this child abuse expert who was advising on the appropriateness of

:01:17. > :01:28.language. -- appropriate use of language. Claire Fyvie said:

:01:29. > :01:41.in her resignation letter, Susan O'Brien said:

:01:42. > :01:48.to write this, my concern has been to maintain the confidence of

:01:49. > :01:51.survivors of sex abuse that they would have an enquiry that filly and

:01:52. > :02:00.independently addressed the serious issues they have raised. --

:02:01. > :02:03.throughout this. At the Fort Augustus Abbey School in the

:02:04. > :02:09.Highlands, some boys were subjected to abuse by the very people who are

:02:10. > :02:13.meant to be looking after them. The enquiry's remit is to investigate

:02:14. > :02:16.abuse allegations at boarding schools, secured units and

:02:17. > :02:22.children's homes. But it has already been criticised for having a remit

:02:23. > :02:25.which is too narrow. I am sure the wall Scottish legal establishment

:02:26. > :02:31.are appalled at two-day's development, added his unprecedented

:02:32. > :02:35.in Scottish history to see this level of Government interference

:02:36. > :02:42.into a badly resourced and handled enquiry. A balance enquiry needs to

:02:43. > :02:46.have the cost of the survivors taking part. Many are angry, and

:02:47. > :02:50.ministers now have to begin the difficult task of rebuilding

:02:51. > :02:51.confidence. -- needs to have the trust of survivors.

:02:52. > :02:53.Leaders of Scotland's fishing industry have met the Government

:02:54. > :02:55.to discuss what happens following the UK vote

:02:56. > :02:59.The industry has said for years that it has been treated unfairly

:03:00. > :03:02.by the EU and many fishermen have welcomed the Brexit vote.

:03:03. > :03:04.The Scottish Government, though, says it's working to maintain

:03:05. > :03:15.The fish are still being landed at Peterhead port, but Scotland's

:03:16. > :03:19.fishing industry says it has seen better days. It points to the Common

:03:20. > :03:24.Fisheries Policy and the problem. But they feel they won't have to do

:03:25. > :03:32.as much heavy lifting in the future after the UK voted to leave the EU.

:03:33. > :03:34.There is just one problem. The Scottish Government is doing

:03:35. > :03:39.everything it can to keep the country in Europe. Two-day

:03:40. > :03:41.representatives from fishing industry met with the Government to

:03:42. > :03:56.representatives from fishing put forward the case. Now is the

:03:57. > :03:59.time when we can have back control. The Scottish fishing fleet has 2030

:04:00. > :04:10.battles. Together they catch 480,000 The Scottish fishing fleet has 2030

:04:11. > :04:16.tonnes of fish each year, valued at ?540 million. But leaders say fleets

:04:17. > :04:18.have shrunk under the EU. The issue was a potent one during the

:04:19. > :04:21.have shrunk under the EU. The issue referendum campaign. The Scottish

:04:22. > :04:27.minister responsible says he has got to defend everyone's interests. Over

:04:28. > :04:32.two thirds of our fish are exported to EU countries, and we need to

:04:33. > :04:37.continue trade, and also we need in the processing site to continue

:04:38. > :04:42.enjoy the benefits of the work of so many people that are from EU states

:04:43. > :04:47.who are working in Scotland. The two sides will meet again in late

:04:48. > :04:48.summer. At that point, we may know whether Scotland's relationship with

:04:49. > :04:53.the EU has been frozen. Political leaders on opposing sides

:04:54. > :04:55.in the Brexit campaign in Scotland continue to disagree

:04:56. > :04:58.on the way forward. On a BBC One Scotland debate

:04:59. > :05:01.tonight, the SNP maintained they would continue to look

:05:02. > :05:03.at all options before considering a second

:05:04. > :05:05.independence referendum. But the Leave campaign say

:05:06. > :05:08.they believe a second independence referendum is part

:05:09. > :05:18.of the nationalists' plan. Let's see what the options are, and

:05:19. > :05:23.if we get to the stage that the only way we can maintain the level of EU

:05:24. > :05:28.representation and interest that we want that we require independence,

:05:29. > :05:33.then we would go back to Parliament. The problem would be, I think, and I

:05:34. > :05:36.do not underestimate the problems of winning a second referendum, is that

:05:37. > :05:41.an off a lot of people come to this issue on independence with an

:05:42. > :05:45.emotional rather than a rational perspective. But let's make no

:05:46. > :05:49.mistake. The reason the Scottish Government have raised this issue

:05:50. > :05:53.about continued Scottish membership of the for one reason only, to only,

:05:54. > :05:56.to try to engineer a second independence referendum, because

:05:57. > :06:01.that is always the directly with nationalists. -- always the

:06:02. > :06:02.priority. There are calls for jurors

:06:03. > :06:05.to be given more support to cope with the effects

:06:06. > :06:07.of traumatic court cases. It comes in the week Rachel

:06:08. > :06:10.and Nyomi Fee are due to be sentenced for murdering

:06:11. > :06:11.Rachel's son Liam. It's regarded as one of the most

:06:12. > :06:14.distressing cases heard Our reporter Lisa Summers has been

:06:15. > :06:21.speaking to one of the jurors. Alan Tait was the first excited

:06:22. > :06:23.about being on the jury of a High Court trial. TV cameras, a

:06:24. > :06:33.high-profile case. That view was short lived. I realised, this is

:06:34. > :06:40.going to be a hard slog. This is something I would much rather not be

:06:41. > :06:44.doing. The after day, the evidence against Rachel and Naomi fee

:06:45. > :06:49.doing. The after day, the evidence extremely distressing. Accounts of

:06:50. > :06:58.torture and injuries, images of his dead body. Allen remains haunted by

:06:59. > :07:03.some of it. In the photograph you could not see real, just this mess

:07:04. > :07:08.of towels, and then suddenly it came into focus and there was Lee

:07:09. > :07:12.underneath the duvet. As quick as it appeared, it had gone again. I

:07:13. > :07:20.cannot get a picture out of my head. cannot get a picture out of my head.

:07:21. > :07:23.-- there was Leon. Alan felt I was excused during the trial. He could

:07:24. > :07:30.not share his experiences with family or friends. Experiences like

:07:31. > :07:36.his have led to calls for more support. Some of the symptoms

:07:37. > :07:38.experienced are similar to those experienced by people with

:07:39. > :07:43.post-traumatic stress disorder. There are a number of symptoms. They

:07:44. > :07:50.might experience flashbacks, imagery that they have witnessed during the

:07:51. > :07:55.trial. They might remember some of the stress and testimony. They might

:07:56. > :07:59.find that they are more irritable, prone to cheerfulness, feel that the

:08:00. > :08:03.world is a different and perhaps a less safe place. When you are

:08:04. > :08:08.selected for jury duty, there is no turning back. You cannot quit just

:08:09. > :08:12.because the evidence becomes too distressing. Ultimately it is up to

:08:13. > :08:16.you to decide the fate of the accused. No wonder it can have

:08:17. > :08:19.lasting effects. There is a counselling service available for

:08:20. > :08:22.jewellers in Scotland, but it is up to the judge whether to offer it or

:08:23. > :08:32.not, and many would like to see help more routinely available during

:08:33. > :08:39.difficult trials. -- a counselling service for jewellers. For the

:08:40. > :08:42.jewellers, there are no opening speeches. They do not what is

:08:43. > :08:49.happening, the type of evidence that is going to be given. For those on

:08:50. > :08:54.the Liam Fee jury, they must now find a way to cope with the after

:08:55. > :08:59.effects. It is the aftermath that I don't really understand. I am back

:09:00. > :09:06.at work, and enough people there are aware of where I was, and it is

:09:07. > :09:09.still not over. It is never going to be over.

:09:10. > :09:11.A 24-year-old man has appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court charged

:09:12. > :09:13.with murdering a pensioner in the East End of

:09:14. > :09:17.Peter Telfer is accused of stabbing and killing 76-year-old John Baker

:09:18. > :09:19.and also of robbing one woman and assaulting with intent

:09:20. > :09:32.A campaign to improve the safety of farm workers is underway.

:09:33. > :09:36.The farmers union NFU Scotland are concerned at the number

:09:37. > :09:38.of deaths and injuries, and believe their members

:09:39. > :09:43.The campaign highlights key dangers such as falls from height,

:09:44. > :09:45.Andy Murray is through to the quarterfinals of Wimbledon.

:09:46. > :09:47.He beat the Australian number fifteen seed Nick Kyrgios

:09:48. > :09:51.Murray's next opponent will be the Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

:09:52. > :10:03.He took the first set 7-5 and after that it was one-way traffic. The

:10:04. > :10:08.second set was much easier. When match point came around, he was able

:10:09. > :10:11.to get that on with one big serve to see him through to the quarterfinals

:10:12. > :10:17.on Wednesday, and afterwards he was asked her years handling the of

:10:18. > :10:22.being the favourite for this treatment after Novak Djokovic's

:10:23. > :10:27.shock exit. It is not any different this year than any other year I have

:10:28. > :10:31.been here. Obviously try my best to win my matches, go as deep as

:10:32. > :10:35.possible, and I have been playing well so far in this event, but you

:10:36. > :10:41.possible, and I have been playing know, the Mac is obviously as you

:10:42. > :10:50.progress get tougher. -- the matches get tougher. It is Jo-Wilfried

:10:51. > :10:54.Tsonga for the quarterfinals on Wednesday, but the head-to-head

:10:55. > :10:59.between those two gives much cause for optimism for the Scot. In the

:11:00. > :11:03.last 12 matches, Andy Murray has won 11 of them, so I think you will go

:11:04. > :11:08.into this one on Wednesday as the clear favourite to make the

:11:09. > :11:11.semifinals, and a whisper it, he has played four, 14, and yet to drop a

:11:12. > :11:15.set this Wimbledon. -- 14. Well, it's over to

:11:16. > :11:27.Kirsteen for the weather. Yes, a miserable day of weather

:11:28. > :11:31.across much of Scotland, as illustrated by one of our Weather

:11:32. > :11:36.Watchers in Fife. That rain will continue its journey into the North

:11:37. > :11:40.Sea. It becomes dry for most of us, and clear spells. Just a few showers

:11:41. > :11:45.holding on across northern and north-western coastal areas.

:11:46. > :11:49.Tomorrow Dawn on a dry note over most of the country. A lot of dry

:11:50. > :11:54.and bright weather to come across other and central Scotland. Mostly

:11:55. > :11:57.and bright weather to come across light winds. Across much of the

:11:58. > :12:02.north, much cloudier start, and showers will tend to become that bit

:12:03. > :12:08.more frequent and heavy in nature, even by eight o'clock tomorrow

:12:09. > :12:11.morning. Dry and brighter across the Northern isles, and like

:12:12. > :12:16.north-westerly winds. Through the day, the showers will become more

:12:17. > :12:20.frequent across the north and east. Some will be heavy with the odd

:12:21. > :12:23.rumble of thunder as well. The driest and brightest conditions

:12:24. > :12:27.tomorrow afternoon will be across western coastal areas in towards the

:12:28. > :12:33.Glasgow area and the south-west, with highs of around 17 Celsius.

:12:34. > :12:35.Across the rest of the UK tomorrow afternoon, across Northern Ireland,

:12:36. > :12:39.dry and bright weather to come. Similar for much of Wales and

:12:40. > :12:43.England, although we could see just a few heavy showers beginning to

:12:44. > :12:48.feed their way into the north-east of England. In the south-west,

:12:49. > :12:51.temperatures peaking at around 22 Celsius. Into the evening in

:12:52. > :12:55.Scotland, a ridge of high pressure will essentially tell of many of

:12:56. > :13:01.these showers, so it is find enter the day for most of us with spells

:13:02. > :13:05.of brightness and sunshine. Looking ahead to Wednesday, across the UK,

:13:06. > :13:09.dry and bright start across the board. Fairly quickly we will see

:13:10. > :13:12.some rain pushing into Northern Ireland, reaching western Scotland

:13:13. > :13:16.during the course of the day. Eastern areas will hold onto the

:13:17. > :13:19.driest and brightest weather for the longest, and southerly winds will

:13:20. > :13:21.strengthen that rain moving in. That is the forecast.

:13:22. > :13:25.Our next update is during Breakfast at 6:25 tomorrow morning.

:13:26. > :13:33.But from everyone on the late team, goodnight.
