leaders have been holding talks about the aftermath | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
of the EU referendum. In recent days, financial | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
markets have settled down But the underlying economy | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
is beginning to show Our business and economy | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
editor, Douglas Fraser, Since Brexit, warning signs have | :01:28. | :01:46. | |
been flashing more insistently. A poll of British business today | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
suggested pessimism about the economy went from a quarter of those | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
taking part in nearly half. After the initial shock 11 days ago, stock | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
markets have made up some ground, though some sectors have not, | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
including banks and house-builders. The pound continued to weaken today, | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
having already fallen 10% as soon as the Brexit result came in. That | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
should help at least some exporters. Some uncertainty about what happens | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
next in politics is undermining confidence in the economy. | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
Today Aviva and MMG joined this giant with a halt in trading, | :02:20. | :02:31. | |
fearing investors would rush to withdraw their stakes. Following the | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
referendum result the company said market conditions at exceptional and | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
extraordinary. Hopes of selling the government stakes in Scotland's big | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
banks have been pushed back by the prospect of slower growth and slower | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
earnings. This will be a setback, let's be honest. A couple of years? | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
I think at least a couple of years, but markets turn round and go | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
positive as quickly as they go negative. That was a background for | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
meetings today between business and political leaders. The First | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
Minister heard concerns from the main industry bodies. I think | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
there's a number of areas that government can be looking at, to | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
make Scotland a more attractive and competitive place to do business, | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
particularly around tax cuts around a PD, around infrastructure projects | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
and making sure that infrastructure economic Lee and physically, to help | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
do business. Half a mile away trade bodies were out lobbying the UK | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
Government. How do we approach international trade deals quest what | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
do we need to renegotiate those deals or can we put in place | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
mechanisms that allow the benefits we already have two be secure going | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
forward? We need a clear message today around making sure we have the | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
best possible access to the single market, as well as making sure the | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
trade deals we have are kept in place. The Scotland Secretary voted | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
last month to remain in the European Union. He said he told you this | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
would happen. I very much hope that we won't have a recession situation, | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
but we obviously are going to have a period of uncertainty, a period | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
where people will not be keen to invest in projects which may have | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
been going ahead in this period. That is why is important to bring as | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
much certainty in a shorter timescale. But I'm not dismissing | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
the challenge of doing that. The Governor of the Bank of England Mark | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
Carney spoke out for a third time in recent days, | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
reassuring us that he's taking measures to ease lending | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
conditions for banks. But he was also warning | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
of the Brexit effect spreading to the housing market and to foreign | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
investment - already sharply down. Some foreign investors continue | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
to be big spenders here, but this notorious one brings | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
further uncertainties ahead Donald Trump's success in America | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
means more uncertainty for the economy. | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
Thank you, Douglas. The First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, | :04:58. | :04:58. | |
has renewed her call for all EU citizens resident in the UK to be | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
given the right to remain. She was speaking after talks | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
with diplomats from EU Here's our political | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
correspondent, Glenn Campbell. Tourists come from near and far to | :05:07. | :05:18. | |
see the First Minister's Edinburgh town house, most only catch a | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
glimpse from the outside, but today's visitors included diplomats | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
representing all corners of Europe, invited to share their concerns | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
following the Brexit vote. We are getting a lot of phone calls from | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
people who could become Belgium's, because they want to drop the | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
British citizenship into the Belgium one. There is panic among Europeans | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
not knowing what will happen next White 18 consuls attended talks with | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
the First Minister who stressed that hasn't yet been any change to the | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
status of EU citizens living here. And I hope no one should leave the | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
country. It is deeply regrettable people living here feel the need to | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
consider citizenship of another country. These are concerns that are | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
being communicated to us. I am very keen to get a message across that we | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
value people living here. As well as appealing to the UK Government, to | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
give all EU citizens already living here the right to remain, the First | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
Minister is also exploring options to maintain Scotland's links with | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
the EU, even if the rest of the UK is coming out, and she's made clear | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
those options include a possible second referendum on Scottish | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
independence. Diplomats tend to use diplomatic language about | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
independence, not wishing to take sides. Any question of independence | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
for Scotland is an internal matter and we would make no comment on | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
that. However, it is clear that were Scotland to be independent, we'd | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
welcome the EU. One consul general couldn't resist the temptation. I | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
have to stay impartial, but... Between the and you? I do. Wait and | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
see. Germany's man was more cautious. Best to wait and see what | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
happens, he said. In the past two minutes the results | :07:13. | :07:21. | |
of the first round of the race to be leader of the Conservative Party and | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
Prime Minister has been announced. Doctor Liam Fox came last in the | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
ballot and has been eliminated. The Home Secretary Theresa May came top | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
with 50% of the vote. Andrea Leadsom the second, Michael -- Michael Gove | :07:34. | :07:43. | |
with third. Stephen Crabb is also still in the running. The next round | :07:44. | :07:44. | |
of the competition is on Thursday. A survivors' group says it's lost | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
confidence in the Scottish It follows the resignation | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
of chairwoman Susan O'Brien, who stepped down after | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
the Deputy First Minister began But John Swinney has denied undue | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
interference and insisted the Government was trying | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
to ensure costs associated From 1964-74 Helen Holland was | :07:59. | :08:16. | |
abused at home in Kilmarnock run by the Catholic order of the sisters of | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
Nazareth. She now starts a helpline for survivors of care abuse. Helen | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
views current of elements with concern. They have done so with the | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
assurance this is independent of the government. If they are now finding | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
out it is not on the government are having involvement where they | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
shouldn't be, then there are major trust issues in relation to that as | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
well. Speaking on radio Scotland, Deputy First Minister said the | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
government was required to ensure value for money and questioned the | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
use of QCs to take witness statements at the cost of around | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
?100 an hour. He firmly denied putting cash and control ahead of | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
the welfare of victims. I want to assure survivors today and I will | :09:05. | :09:05. | |
the welfare of victims. I want to work to do it for the foreseeable | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
future, the inquiry will be free to take all of the evidence, to look | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
into all of the issues it needs to look into without fear or favour and | :09:13. | :09:21. | |
to make sure it does that job properly and competence of links. In | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
addition to Susan O'Brien, Cambridge Professor Michael site resigned last | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
week citing government interference. That leaves glens used in, a social | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
care expert from Northern Ireland as the only remaining panel member for | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
now. A government spokeswoman said today officials had been instructed | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
already to identify replacements. She also insisted that evidence | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
gathered so far for the inquiry would stand, and that public | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
hearings planned for November would go ahead. | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
This Scottish head of the National children's charity says it is vital | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
to get the inquiry back on track. Clearly until the inquiry is fully | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
staffed again, victims will be concerned, and I think it's | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
important the government acts swiftly to set the inquiry on a | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
sound footing. Victims will seek those reassurances | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
and more when they meet the Deputy First Minister to see what happens | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
next. Still to come on this evening's | :10:21. | :10:21. | |
Reporting Scotland: We take a look at the | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
National Museum of Scotland Andy Murray on his quarter-final | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
match against Jo Wilfred And we're with a golfer enjoying | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
a highland homecoming Shell has announced its plans | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
to leave the giant legs of its three Brent oil field platforms | :10:39. | :10:51. | |
in the North Sea, when it completes Each leg is made of concrete | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
and steel and weighs Decommissioning is already well | :10:54. | :11:06. | |
underway on Shell's grand delta. At some point next year as specialist | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
barge will move into place, the final will lift, cutting the | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
platform from the legs and it will take just ten seconds. The structure | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
will be dismantled onshore. But these huge concrete and steel legs | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
will be left standing, each the equivalent weight of the Empire | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
State building. The collision risk is about one in every 10,000 years. | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
On balance we think the risk associated with the technical | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
complexity associated with cutting and lifting the legs doesn't make | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
sense to do anything other than leave them. The operation started in | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
the early hours of the morning. Shell officers, police and staff | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
were hoisted by crane. Shell still bears the scars of this | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
decommissioning in the 1990s, attempts abandoned amid direct an | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
embarrassing action by Greenpeace. Shell says it has consulted widely | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
on what to do this time, but one environmental group is not | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
convinced. This is an industry that pushed the boundaries of science and | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
engineering to get hold of oil and gas in the North Sea, so they should | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
be pushed as hard to make sure they use the same technology and | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
engineering skills to try and clean up as much as possible. Shell will | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
need permission from the UK Government to leave behind this | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
man-made mark. The question is, will this become the benchmark for the | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
hundreds of North Sea installations that will eventually have to be | :12:34. | :12:34. | |
decommissioned? Thousands of people who have joint | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
replacements may, in future, may have their recovery monitored | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
by a tablet hand-held computer. The Golden Jubilee hospital | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
in Clydebank is the first hospital in Europe to try out the technology, | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
which allows doctors to keep a much closer eye | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
on the recovery of their patients. Here's our health correspondent, | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
Eleanor Bradford. For a select number of people, going | :12:56. | :13:05. | |
home after a knee replacement has become more technical. I have one of | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
these vices to check your range and motion on your knee. Just put this | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
tracker onto your leg. The Golden Jubilee and Clydebank is trialling | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
the use of the new gadget to monitor movement. This device here. You can | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
see your knee on the device. I will get you to bend your knee up and | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
down. It uses motion sensors similar to those in mobile phones and | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
pedometer and allows the hospital to constant monitor its patients, which | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
is very different from what normally happens. Normally we telephoned the | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
patients two weeks after surgery and then have a further follow-up at six | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
weeks. What this device would enable us to do is to continue assessment | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
on a daily basis and we can pick up patients having problems earlier. It | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
just keeps you on course. Just the reassurance you are doing it right. | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
During her recovery when Di continues to use the monitor and | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
tablet and it pushes her to do that rehab. Although she did need a hand | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
with the newfangled technology. Once I got it home, I have to say my son | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
was helping me... But once you got into the swing of it all, and you | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
are doing it every day, then it just became sort of second nature. That | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
shows how well she has been able to move her knee. At the hospital Mr | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
Welsh gets the results even if his patient is miles away. This is her | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
getting much more flexibility. Yes, a lot more range of bend. This study | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
just goes to show the technology we use to using at home on tablets and | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
mobiles is also being used by the medical world, and because it is | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
cheap, it's getting closer to patients, to improve their | :14:53. | :14:52. | |
experience. A look at other stories | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
from across the country. Major rail improvement | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
projects are behind schedule with costs spiralling, | :14:59. | :14:59. | |
according to a new report Transport Minister, | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
Humza Yousaf, has said that the Edinburgh-Glasgow line | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
will not run electric services until July 2017, seven months | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
later than scheduled. Network Rail Scotland said | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
they are committed to delivering improvements | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
within agreed funding limits. 24 families have lost | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
their school places for the 2016/17 session, | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
after being caught giving false statements to get their children | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
into Edinburgh schools. Officials uncovered 13 catchment | :15:31. | :15:32. | |
frauds at high schools The original Declaration of Arbroath | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
is to be given special status The letter - written in 1320 - | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
voices support for an independent Scotland and is still | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
regarded as a statement UNESCO status recognises | :15:48. | :15:49. | |
its cultural significance and will offer protection | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
to the rare and delicate document, which was last on public | :15:56. | :15:57. | |
display 11 years ago. Dr Who star, David Tennant, | :15:58. | :16:05. | |
received an honorary degree The 46-year-old studied there | :16:06. | :16:07. | |
from 1988 to 1991, when it was known as the Royal Scottish Academy | :16:08. | :16:18. | |
of Music and Drama. The second stage of flood defence | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
work on the Water of Leith New walls, embankments | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
and floodgates will be erected along the stretch of river | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
at Murrayfield and Roseburn. The areas suffered | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
extensive flooding in 2000. Two years ago, the wife | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
of the former Formula One world champion, Sir Jackie Stewart, | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
was diagnosed with dementia. For the first time, Sir Jackie has | :16:45. | :16:46. | |
been talking publicly about his wife's condition, | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
which he describes as the biggest Family life, Formula One life. These | :16:53. | :18:23. | |
binders that your mum painstakingly did, they've taken on new meaning | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
now. I remember well doing it with her. I used to sit next to her. Ive | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
was six, seven years old. She likes talking about the past. Every time | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
he won, she was by his side. Every time there was another death, she | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
was there too. He was outspoken fighting for better safety. Now, | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
facing his biggest ever personal challenge, he is fighting dementia. | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
Today he launches a charity with ?1 million of his own charity. Race | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
against dementia is what it's called. That's what motor racing is. | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
We changed things faster and more successfully in the shortest of time | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
than any other industry or any other activity in the world. The current | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
great designers called Adrian Newey, he's won nine World Championships | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
for different teams. I want to find an Adrian in the medical research | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
area. All these girls were around me on the podium. You've dealt with | :19:22. | :19:30. | |
fear through your career. Do you feel that fear with dementia? Now | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
I'm trying to manage my head in the same way as I handled it by getting | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
back into a racing car, when somebody was killed. So at the | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
moment, my focus is starting up this new charity and I just hope we'll | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
get the support we need. The best of luck to him. | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
What's happening in the sporting world, David? | :19:56. | :19:57. | |
Andy Murray says he can't afford to think about the later stages | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
at Wimbledon or he'll get distracted from tomorrow's quarter-final. | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
He faces the world number 12, Jo Wilfried Tsonga, of France. | :20:05. | :20:06. | |
Andy's not the only Murray looking forward to playing in the last eight | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
at the championships, as Kheredine Idessane reports. | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
A memorial for the longest match of all time, 70-68 in the fifth between | :20:18. | :20:30. | |

This is court 17. Last night they finished at 9pm at 13-13 in the | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
fifth. Surely we're not in for another epic? Thankfully not. In | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
fact only another four games were required as Murray and suarez came | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
through 16-14 on the fifth. The goal was to win the tournament. We won | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
three matches so far. Concentrate hard on the next match. It's going | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
to be tough regardless of who we play. Going to be a tough match for | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
them as well. We're playing some good tennis. I think we're both | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
really excited about it. Little brother is just as excited for him | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
tomorrow a quarter final against Jo Wilfred Tsonga of France, with no | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
thought spared for the big names like Novak Djokovic who've already | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
been knocked out. Those results that have happened don't affect me yet. | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
If I reach the final, maybe. It's different coming up against someone | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
different to know rack, but right now -- to Novak. Right now it has no | :21:34. | :21:41. | |
bearing. Songhoy Blues will be -- Jo Wilfred Tsonga will be tough in the | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
next round as well. Concentrating on those matches. You get distracted at | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
this level, it can cost you. The Davis Cup won't be a distraction, | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
it's after Wimbledon and both Murray brothers are in the team for the tie | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
away to Serbia. Andy says he will wait until he's done in SW19 until | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
deciding whether to play. could be career-building | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
stuff for him. The Inverness-born player has flown | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
from his home in Florida for the Scottish Open, | :22:07. | :22:08. | |
which begins on Thursday, July in the Highlands is a tad | :22:09. | :22:22. | |
cooler than in Florida, but Russell Knox is well versed to | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
acclimatising. Though having jetted in this morning, the local boy has | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
just one thing on his mind. To get the clubs here this afternoon and | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
maybe go stroll nine holes and try to stay awake, yeah. I think that | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
would be number one. It's just golf. It's a numbers game. I'll figure it | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
out. Players from all the world have once again gathered here for the | :22:45. | :22:52. | |
fourth staging of the Scottish Open. Xnox isn't the only American based | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
Scot returning to his roots. It's a big tournament. But yeah, I'm | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
looking forward to a great week. Who knows what will happen at the end of | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
the week. Jimmy Gunn, like many this week, hoping for a good showing, as | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
four qualifying spots are still available for The Open Championship | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
next week. But for Russell Knox, who has already qualified, the goal is | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
the Ryder Cup in September. This is career-building stuff. If I can go | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
out, you never know, someone's going to get really hot here and maybe win | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
a couple. Just going to try and take it one shot at a time and smile and | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
hopefully I'll have a chance. If he wins here at home, expect even | :23:39. | :23:48. | |
greater smiles. That's all from me. It's hello Dolly in her new home. | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
The National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh has had | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
Morag Kinniburgh has been given a preview. | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
The upgrade is unveiled, finishing touches to galleries ahead of the | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
opening on Friday. We wanted things that would be inspiring, things that | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
would be excited. We wanted things that would be surprising. We have | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
old favourites like steam locomotives and ship models. We've | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
got brand new things like Formula One cars and tiny bits of biomedical | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
kit. There's more to entertain and inspire as well as educate. The | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
150-year-old Victorian museum was getting a little tired, so they've | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
invested in modernising the science and arts sections to make them more | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
interesting and interactive. This energy machine, a new way to learn | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
about power. Three quarters of these objects have been brought out of | :24:41. | :24:42. | |
storage, unseen for at least a generation. The National Museum of | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
Scotland now ranks amongst the best in the world. There's no other | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
National Museum in the world with such a huge breadth of collections | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
under a single roof. I think putting together the breadth of the | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
collections with the engaging way in which we've interpreted them | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
provides a unique experience here in Scotland. Visitor figures are | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
predicted to rise again with the latest phase of modernisation. We | :25:04. | :25:11. | |
are judgment posing past and -- juxtaposing past and present. | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
They're using new materials and challenging our perception of what | :25:16. | :25:16. | |
fashion or footwear is. Such as challenging our perception of what | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
these here. You have got that in contrast with the 19th century bath | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
shoes. Reflecting Scotland to the world and the world to Scotland, in | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
the hope of attracting generations to come. | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
We're reflecting the weather now with Christopher. | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
Good evening. Fairly unsettled with Christopher. | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
conditions last week and indeed this week. Why? We need to look to the | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
jet stream, this river of wind way up in the atmosphere moving across | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
the Atlantic. It's static. It's not moving north or south. It's just | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
delivering weather system after weather system all last week and | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
indeed, all this week. Periods of showers, rain at times and at times, | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
quite a cool, fresh feel as well. It's the dividing line between | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
really quite warm air to the south of it and cooler air to the north. | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
We're on the cusp of it. It's not a washout. We will have some sunshine. | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
This was the scene in north Berwick earlier, very nice. But also heavy | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
down pours across the north-east today. Those showers are easing away | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
through the course of the evening. Can you see it on the satellite | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
there, the showers just pulling away. For many, some late sunshine | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
to end the day. The showers fading away. Then largely dry overnight, | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
light winds away from Shetland. Temperatures in towns and cities | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
around eight or nine Celsius. But in the countryside, under those clear | :26:40. | :26:41. | |
conditions, it could be down to a chilly four or five. Tomorrow, it | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
gets off to a bright start for most, chilly four or five. Tomorrow, it | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
but quickly clouding over in the west with outbreaks of rain. Then | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
through the course of the day just edging inland to about the spine of | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
the country by mid-afternoon. Here's the scene then at 4pm. Across the | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
southern Uplands, the rain will be light and patchy. Fairly persistent | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
across the West Coast. Further east through the central belt, expect | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
things to turn a bit damp. Driest here for longest and thus warmest, | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
18 degrees. Dry for the far north and Northern Isles. Here it is, | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
there it goes, working right across the country. So a fairly soggy night | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
heading overnight Wednesday to Thursday. Come Thursday, the rain | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
has cleared away for most. Still affecting Shetland, perhaps northern | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
parts of the mainland. For many on Thursday, it's dry with spells of | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
sunshine. In the east, highs of 20 degrees. | :27:38. | :27:47. | |
Tonight's main news: Liam Fox has been eliminated from the race to be | :27:48. | :27:51. | |
the next leader of the party. The Home Secretary, Theresa May topped | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
the ballot, followed by the Energy Minister, Andrea Leadsom. Michael | :27:56. | :28:00. | |
Gove and Stephen Crabbe are still in the running. That's Reporting | :28:01. | :28:03. | |
Scotland. Good evening. | :28:04. | :28:08. |
