:01:14. > :01:17.leaders have been holding talks about the aftermath
:01:18. > :01:20.of the EU referendum. In recent days, financial
:01:21. > :01:22.markets have settled down But the underlying economy
:01:23. > :01:27.is beginning to show Our business and economy
:01:28. > :01:46.editor, Douglas Fraser, Since Brexit, warning signs have
:01:47. > :01:51.been flashing more insistently. A poll of British business today
:01:52. > :01:55.suggested pessimism about the economy went from a quarter of those
:01:56. > :02:00.taking part in nearly half. After the initial shock 11 days ago, stock
:02:01. > :02:03.markets have made up some ground, though some sectors have not,
:02:04. > :02:08.including banks and house-builders. The pound continued to weaken today,
:02:09. > :02:13.having already fallen 10% as soon as the Brexit result came in. That
:02:14. > :02:17.should help at least some exporters. Some uncertainty about what happens
:02:18. > :02:19.next in politics is undermining confidence in the economy.
:02:20. > :02:31.Today Aviva and MMG joined this giant with a halt in trading,
:02:32. > :02:35.fearing investors would rush to withdraw their stakes. Following the
:02:36. > :02:39.referendum result the company said market conditions at exceptional and
:02:40. > :02:43.extraordinary. Hopes of selling the government stakes in Scotland's big
:02:44. > :02:47.banks have been pushed back by the prospect of slower growth and slower
:02:48. > :02:52.earnings. This will be a setback, let's be honest. A couple of years?
:02:53. > :02:57.I think at least a couple of years, but markets turn round and go
:02:58. > :03:01.positive as quickly as they go negative. That was a background for
:03:02. > :03:05.meetings today between business and political leaders. The First
:03:06. > :03:08.Minister heard concerns from the main industry bodies. I think
:03:09. > :03:13.there's a number of areas that government can be looking at, to
:03:14. > :03:19.make Scotland a more attractive and competitive place to do business,
:03:20. > :03:25.particularly around tax cuts around a PD, around infrastructure projects
:03:26. > :03:31.and making sure that infrastructure economic Lee and physically, to help
:03:32. > :03:37.do business. Half a mile away trade bodies were out lobbying the UK
:03:38. > :03:39.Government. How do we approach international trade deals quest what
:03:40. > :03:42.do we need to renegotiate those deals or can we put in place
:03:43. > :03:46.mechanisms that allow the benefits we already have two be secure going
:03:47. > :03:50.forward? We need a clear message today around making sure we have the
:03:51. > :03:54.best possible access to the single market, as well as making sure the
:03:55. > :03:59.trade deals we have are kept in place. The Scotland Secretary voted
:04:00. > :04:04.last month to remain in the European Union. He said he told you this
:04:05. > :04:09.would happen. I very much hope that we won't have a recession situation,
:04:10. > :04:13.but we obviously are going to have a period of uncertainty, a period
:04:14. > :04:16.where people will not be keen to invest in projects which may have
:04:17. > :04:22.been going ahead in this period. That is why is important to bring as
:04:23. > :04:26.much certainty in a shorter timescale. But I'm not dismissing
:04:27. > :04:30.the challenge of doing that. The Governor of the Bank of England Mark
:04:31. > :04:36.Carney spoke out for a third time in recent days,
:04:37. > :04:38.reassuring us that he's taking measures to ease lending
:04:39. > :04:40.conditions for banks. But he was also warning
:04:41. > :04:42.of the Brexit effect spreading to the housing market and to foreign
:04:43. > :04:45.investment - already sharply down. Some foreign investors continue
:04:46. > :04:47.to be big spenders here, but this notorious one brings
:04:48. > :04:55.further uncertainties ahead Donald Trump's success in America
:04:56. > :04:57.means more uncertainty for the economy.
:04:58. > :04:58.Thank you, Douglas. The First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon,
:04:59. > :05:01.has renewed her call for all EU citizens resident in the UK to be
:05:02. > :05:04.given the right to remain. She was speaking after talks
:05:05. > :05:06.with diplomats from EU Here's our political
:05:07. > :05:18.correspondent, Glenn Campbell. Tourists come from near and far to
:05:19. > :05:23.see the First Minister's Edinburgh town house, most only catch a
:05:24. > :05:27.glimpse from the outside, but today's visitors included diplomats
:05:28. > :05:31.representing all corners of Europe, invited to share their concerns
:05:32. > :05:38.following the Brexit vote. We are getting a lot of phone calls from
:05:39. > :05:41.people who could become Belgium's, because they want to drop the
:05:42. > :05:45.British citizenship into the Belgium one. There is panic among Europeans
:05:46. > :05:49.not knowing what will happen next White 18 consuls attended talks with
:05:50. > :05:54.the First Minister who stressed that hasn't yet been any change to the
:05:55. > :05:58.status of EU citizens living here. And I hope no one should leave the
:05:59. > :06:03.country. It is deeply regrettable people living here feel the need to
:06:04. > :06:06.consider citizenship of another country. These are concerns that are
:06:07. > :06:12.being communicated to us. I am very keen to get a message across that we
:06:13. > :06:16.value people living here. As well as appealing to the UK Government, to
:06:17. > :06:21.give all EU citizens already living here the right to remain, the First
:06:22. > :06:26.Minister is also exploring options to maintain Scotland's links with
:06:27. > :06:31.the EU, even if the rest of the UK is coming out, and she's made clear
:06:32. > :06:37.those options include a possible second referendum on Scottish
:06:38. > :06:39.independence. Diplomats tend to use diplomatic language about
:06:40. > :06:45.independence, not wishing to take sides. Any question of independence
:06:46. > :06:50.for Scotland is an internal matter and we would make no comment on
:06:51. > :06:57.that. However, it is clear that were Scotland to be independent, we'd
:06:58. > :07:03.welcome the EU. One consul general couldn't resist the temptation. I
:07:04. > :07:10.have to stay impartial, but... Between the and you? I do. Wait and
:07:11. > :07:12.see. Germany's man was more cautious. Best to wait and see what
:07:13. > :07:21.happens, he said. In the past two minutes the results
:07:22. > :07:25.of the first round of the race to be leader of the Conservative Party and
:07:26. > :07:29.Prime Minister has been announced. Doctor Liam Fox came last in the
:07:30. > :07:33.ballot and has been eliminated. The Home Secretary Theresa May came top
:07:34. > :07:43.with 50% of the vote. Andrea Leadsom the second, Michael -- Michael Gove
:07:44. > :07:44.with third. Stephen Crabb is also still in the running. The next round
:07:45. > :07:47.of the competition is on Thursday. A survivors' group says it's lost
:07:48. > :07:49.confidence in the Scottish It follows the resignation
:07:50. > :07:52.of chairwoman Susan O'Brien, who stepped down after
:07:53. > :07:54.the Deputy First Minister began But John Swinney has denied undue
:07:55. > :07:58.interference and insisted the Government was trying
:07:59. > :08:16.to ensure costs associated From 1964-74 Helen Holland was
:08:17. > :08:21.abused at home in Kilmarnock run by the Catholic order of the sisters of
:08:22. > :08:24.Nazareth. She now starts a helpline for survivors of care abuse. Helen
:08:25. > :08:31.views current of elements with concern. They have done so with the
:08:32. > :08:37.assurance this is independent of the government. If they are now finding
:08:38. > :08:41.out it is not on the government are having involvement where they
:08:42. > :08:45.shouldn't be, then there are major trust issues in relation to that as
:08:46. > :08:50.well. Speaking on radio Scotland, Deputy First Minister said the
:08:51. > :08:55.government was required to ensure value for money and questioned the
:08:56. > :08:59.use of QCs to take witness statements at the cost of around
:09:00. > :09:04.?100 an hour. He firmly denied putting cash and control ahead of
:09:05. > :09:05.the welfare of victims. I want to assure survivors today and I will
:09:06. > :09:09.the welfare of victims. I want to work to do it for the foreseeable
:09:10. > :09:12.future, the inquiry will be free to take all of the evidence, to look
:09:13. > :09:21.into all of the issues it needs to look into without fear or favour and
:09:22. > :09:23.to make sure it does that job properly and competence of links. In
:09:24. > :09:26.addition to Susan O'Brien, Cambridge Professor Michael site resigned last
:09:27. > :09:31.week citing government interference. That leaves glens used in, a social
:09:32. > :09:35.care expert from Northern Ireland as the only remaining panel member for
:09:36. > :09:42.now. A government spokeswoman said today officials had been instructed
:09:43. > :09:46.already to identify replacements. She also insisted that evidence
:09:47. > :09:49.gathered so far for the inquiry would stand, and that public
:09:50. > :09:53.hearings planned for November would go ahead.
:09:54. > :09:59.This Scottish head of the National children's charity says it is vital
:10:00. > :10:05.to get the inquiry back on track. Clearly until the inquiry is fully
:10:06. > :10:09.staffed again, victims will be concerned, and I think it's
:10:10. > :10:13.important the government acts swiftly to set the inquiry on a
:10:14. > :10:16.sound footing. Victims will seek those reassurances
:10:17. > :10:20.and more when they meet the Deputy First Minister to see what happens
:10:21. > :10:21.next. Still to come on this evening's
:10:22. > :10:23.Reporting Scotland: We take a look at the
:10:24. > :10:25.National Museum of Scotland Andy Murray on his quarter-final
:10:26. > :10:31.match against Jo Wilfred And we're with a golfer enjoying
:10:32. > :10:38.a highland homecoming Shell has announced its plans
:10:39. > :10:51.to leave the giant legs of its three Brent oil field platforms
:10:52. > :10:53.in the North Sea, when it completes Each leg is made of concrete
:10:54. > :11:06.and steel and weighs Decommissioning is already well
:11:07. > :11:11.underway on Shell's grand delta. At some point next year as specialist
:11:12. > :11:14.barge will move into place, the final will lift, cutting the
:11:15. > :11:20.platform from the legs and it will take just ten seconds. The structure
:11:21. > :11:25.will be dismantled onshore. But these huge concrete and steel legs
:11:26. > :11:28.will be left standing, each the equivalent weight of the Empire
:11:29. > :11:33.State building. The collision risk is about one in every 10,000 years.
:11:34. > :11:39.On balance we think the risk associated with the technical
:11:40. > :11:42.complexity associated with cutting and lifting the legs doesn't make
:11:43. > :11:47.sense to do anything other than leave them. The operation started in
:11:48. > :11:54.the early hours of the morning. Shell officers, police and staff
:11:55. > :11:57.were hoisted by crane. Shell still bears the scars of this
:11:58. > :12:03.decommissioning in the 1990s, attempts abandoned amid direct an
:12:04. > :12:07.embarrassing action by Greenpeace. Shell says it has consulted widely
:12:08. > :12:11.on what to do this time, but one environmental group is not
:12:12. > :12:14.convinced. This is an industry that pushed the boundaries of science and
:12:15. > :12:18.engineering to get hold of oil and gas in the North Sea, so they should
:12:19. > :12:21.be pushed as hard to make sure they use the same technology and
:12:22. > :12:26.engineering skills to try and clean up as much as possible. Shell will
:12:27. > :12:29.need permission from the UK Government to leave behind this
:12:30. > :12:33.man-made mark. The question is, will this become the benchmark for the
:12:34. > :12:34.hundreds of North Sea installations that will eventually have to be
:12:35. > :12:37.decommissioned? Thousands of people who have joint
:12:38. > :12:40.replacements may, in future, may have their recovery monitored
:12:41. > :12:44.by a tablet hand-held computer. The Golden Jubilee hospital
:12:45. > :12:46.in Clydebank is the first hospital in Europe to try out the technology,
:12:47. > :12:52.which allows doctors to keep a much closer eye
:12:53. > :12:55.on the recovery of their patients. Here's our health correspondent,
:12:56. > :13:05.Eleanor Bradford. For a select number of people, going
:13:06. > :13:11.home after a knee replacement has become more technical. I have one of
:13:12. > :13:16.these vices to check your range and motion on your knee. Just put this
:13:17. > :13:19.tracker onto your leg. The Golden Jubilee and Clydebank is trialling
:13:20. > :13:26.the use of the new gadget to monitor movement. This device here. You can
:13:27. > :13:32.see your knee on the device. I will get you to bend your knee up and
:13:33. > :13:36.down. It uses motion sensors similar to those in mobile phones and
:13:37. > :13:38.pedometer and allows the hospital to constant monitor its patients, which
:13:39. > :13:43.is very different from what normally happens. Normally we telephoned the
:13:44. > :13:47.patients two weeks after surgery and then have a further follow-up at six
:13:48. > :13:52.weeks. What this device would enable us to do is to continue assessment
:13:53. > :13:56.on a daily basis and we can pick up patients having problems earlier. It
:13:57. > :14:01.just keeps you on course. Just the reassurance you are doing it right.
:14:02. > :14:05.During her recovery when Di continues to use the monitor and
:14:06. > :14:10.tablet and it pushes her to do that rehab. Although she did need a hand
:14:11. > :14:16.with the newfangled technology. Once I got it home, I have to say my son
:14:17. > :14:21.was helping me... But once you got into the swing of it all, and you
:14:22. > :14:26.are doing it every day, then it just became sort of second nature. That
:14:27. > :14:31.shows how well she has been able to move her knee. At the hospital Mr
:14:32. > :14:36.Welsh gets the results even if his patient is miles away. This is her
:14:37. > :14:42.getting much more flexibility. Yes, a lot more range of bend. This study
:14:43. > :14:47.just goes to show the technology we use to using at home on tablets and
:14:48. > :14:52.mobiles is also being used by the medical world, and because it is
:14:53. > :14:52.cheap, it's getting closer to patients, to improve their
:14:53. > :14:55.experience. A look at other stories
:14:56. > :14:58.from across the country. Major rail improvement
:14:59. > :14:59.projects are behind schedule with costs spiralling,
:15:00. > :15:03.according to a new report Transport Minister,

:18:24. > :18:26.binders that your mum painstakingly did, they've taken on new meaning
:18:27. > :18:33.now. I remember well doing it with her. I used to sit next to her. Ive
:18:34. > :18:39.was six, seven years old. She likes talking about the past. Every time
:18:40. > :18:43.he won, she was by his side. Every time there was another death, she

:19:31. > :19:35.fear through your career. Do you feel that fear with dementia? Now
:19:36. > :19:40.I'm trying to manage my head in the same way as I handled it by getting
:19:41. > :19:45.back into a racing car, when somebody was killed. So at the

:20:47. > :20:53.fact only another four games were required as Murray and suarez came
:20:54. > :20:59.through 16-14 on the fifth. The goal was to win the tournament. We won
:21:00. > :21:02.three matches so far. Concentrate hard on the next match. It's going
:21:03. > :21:05.to be tough regardless of who we play. Going to be a tough match for
:21:06. > :21:09.them as well. We're playing some good tennis. I think we're both

:21:45. > :21:48.next round as well. Concentrating on those matches. You get distracted at
:21:49. > :21:51.this level, it can cost you. The Davis Cup won't be a distraction,

:22:30. > :22:32.just one thing on his mind. To get the clubs here this afternoon and
:22:33. > :22:38.maybe go stroll nine holes and try to stay awake, yeah. I think that
:22:39. > :22:44.would be number one. It's just golf. It's a numbers game. I'll figure it
:22:45. > :22:52.out. Players from all the world have once again gathered here for the
:22:53. > :22:56.fourth staging of the Scottish Open. Xnox isn't the only American based
:22:57. > :23:01.Scot returning to his roots. It's a big tournament. But yeah, I'm
:23:02. > :23:07.looking forward to a great week. Who knows what will happen at the end of
:23:08. > :23:12.the week. Jimmy Gunn, like many this week, hoping for a good showing, as
:23:13. > :23:18.four qualifying spots are still available for The Open Championship
:23:19. > :23:22.next week. But for Russell Knox, who has already qualified, the goal is
:23:23. > :23:26.the Ryder Cup in September. This is career-building stuff. If I can go
:23:27. > :23:31.out, you never know, someone's going to get really hot here and maybe win
:23:32. > :23:38.a couple. Just going to try and take it one shot at a time and smile and
:23:39. > :23:48.hopefully I'll have a chance. If he wins here at home, expect even
:23:49. > :23:51.greater smiles. That's all from me. It's hello Dolly in her new home.
:23:52. > :23:53.The National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh has had
:23:54. > :23:57.Morag Kinniburgh has been given a preview.
:23:58. > :24:03.The upgrade is unveiled, finishing touches to galleries ahead of the
:24:04. > :24:07.opening on Friday. We wanted things that would be inspiring, things that
:24:08. > :24:11.would be excited. We wanted things that would be surprising. We have
:24:12. > :24:15.old favourites like steam locomotives and ship models. We've
:24:16. > :24:21.got brand new things like Formula One cars and tiny bits of biomedical
:24:22. > :24:25.kit. There's more to entertain and inspire as well as educate. The
:24:26. > :24:29.150-year-old Victorian museum was getting a little tired, so they've
:24:30. > :24:34.invested in modernising the science and arts sections to make them more
:24:35. > :24:40.interesting and interactive. This energy machine, a new way to learn
:24:41. > :24:42.about power. Three quarters of these objects have been brought out of
:24:43. > :24:46.storage, unseen for at least a generation. The National Museum of
:24:47. > :24:49.Scotland now ranks amongst the best in the world. There's no other
:24:50. > :24:53.National Museum in the world with such a huge breadth of collections
:24:54. > :24:56.under a single roof. I think putting together the breadth of the
:24:57. > :24:59.collections with the engaging way in which we've interpreted them
:25:00. > :25:03.provides a unique experience here in Scotland. Visitor figures are
:25:04. > :25:11.predicted to rise again with the latest phase of modernisation. We
:25:12. > :25:15.are judgment posing past and -- juxtaposing past and present.
:25:16. > :25:16.They're using new materials and challenging our perception of what
:25:17. > :25:21.fashion or footwear is. Such as challenging our perception of what
:25:22. > :25:26.these here. You have got that in contrast with the 19th century bath
:25:27. > :25:29.shoes. Reflecting Scotland to the world and the world to Scotland, in
:25:30. > :25:35.the hope of attracting generations to come.
:25:36. > :25:38.We're reflecting the weather now with Christopher.
:25:39. > :25:41.Good evening. Fairly unsettled with Christopher.
:25:42. > :25:46.conditions last week and indeed this week. Why? We need to look to the
:25:47. > :25:50.jet stream, this river of wind way up in the atmosphere moving across
:25:51. > :25:54.the Atlantic. It's static. It's not moving north or south. It's just
:25:55. > :25:58.delivering weather system after weather system all last week and
:25:59. > :26:02.indeed, all this week. Periods of showers, rain at times and at times,
:26:03. > :26:05.quite a cool, fresh feel as well. It's the dividing line between
:26:06. > :26:09.really quite warm air to the south of it and cooler air to the north.
:26:10. > :26:14.We're on the cusp of it. It's not a washout. We will have some sunshine.
:26:15. > :26:19.This was the scene in north Berwick earlier, very nice. But also heavy
:26:20. > :26:23.down pours across the north-east today. Those showers are easing away
:26:24. > :26:26.through the course of the evening. Can you see it on the satellite
:26:27. > :26:30.there, the showers just pulling away. For many, some late sunshine
:26:31. > :26:35.to end the day. The showers fading away. Then largely dry overnight,
:26:36. > :26:39.light winds away from Shetland. Temperatures in towns and cities
:26:40. > :26:41.around eight or nine Celsius. But in the countryside, under those clear
:26:42. > :26:45.conditions, it could be down to a chilly four or five. Tomorrow, it
:26:46. > :26:51.gets off to a bright start for most, chilly four or five. Tomorrow, it
:26:52. > :26:55.but quickly clouding over in the west with outbreaks of rain. Then
:26:56. > :26:58.through the course of the day just edging inland to about the spine of
:26:59. > :27:02.the country by mid-afternoon. Here's the scene then at 4pm. Across the
:27:03. > :27:06.southern Uplands, the rain will be light and patchy. Fairly persistent
:27:07. > :27:12.across the West Coast. Further east through the central belt, expect
:27:13. > :27:18.things to turn a bit damp. Driest here for longest and thus warmest,
:27:19. > :27:21.18 degrees. Dry for the far north and Northern Isles. Here it is,
:27:22. > :27:24.there it goes, working right across the country. So a fairly soggy night
:27:25. > :27:30.heading overnight Wednesday to Thursday. Come Thursday, the rain
:27:31. > :27:33.has cleared away for most. Still affecting Shetland, perhaps northern
:27:34. > :27:37.parts of the mainland. For many on Thursday, it's dry with spells of
:27:38. > :27:47.sunshine. In the east, highs of 20 degrees.
:27:48. > :27:51.Tonight's main news: Liam Fox has been eliminated from the race to be
:27:52. > :27:55.the next leader of the party. The Home Secretary, Theresa May topped
:27:56. > :28:00.the ballot, followed by the Energy Minister, Andrea Leadsom. Michael
:28:01. > :28:03.Gove and Stephen Crabbe are still in the running. That's Reporting
:28:04. > :28:08.Scotland. Good evening.
