Scotland's business and political leaders have been holding | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
talks about the aftermath of the EU referendum. | :00:12. | :00:23. | |
The underlying economy is beginning to show more signs of stress. | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
Our Business and Economy Editor, Douglas Fraser, has more. | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
Yes, the economy was already slowing up before the referendum. Since the | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
Brexit, the warning signs have been flashing more. A poll of British | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
Business Today suggested pessimism about the economy has gone from a | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
quarter of those taking part to nearly half. After the initial shock | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
11 days ago stock markets made up some ground, but some sectors have | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
not including banks and house builders. The pound continued to | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
weaken today having fallen over 10%. That should help exporters. | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
weaken today having fallen over 10%. Uncertainty about what happens next | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
in politics is undermining confidence in the economy. | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
Today Aviva and MMG joined this Edinburgh financial giant | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
with a halt to trading in their UK property fund, fearing that | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
investors would rush to withdraw their stakes | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
destabilising funds for continuing customers. | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
Following the referendum result, the company said market conditions | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
Hopes of selling the Government stakes in Scotland's big banks have | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
been pushed back by the prospect of slower growth and lower earnings. | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
This will be a setback, let's be quite honest. | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
I think at least a couple of years will be pushed back because of it, | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
but markets turn around and go positive as they do as quickly | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
That was the background for meetings today between business | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
The First Minister heard concerns from the main industry bodies. | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
I think there's a number of areas that government could be looking at, | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
to make Scotland a more attractive and competitive place to do | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
business, particularly around tax cuts, around APD, | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
around infrastructure projects and making sure that infrastructure | :02:10. | :02:10. | |
economically and physically, to help do business. | :02:11. | :02:23. | |
Half a mile away trade bodies were out lobbying the UK Government. | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
How do we approach international trade deals quest what do we need | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
to renegotiate those deals or can we put in place mechanisms that | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
allow the benefits we already have two be secure going forward? | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
We need a clear message today to government around making sure | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
we have the best possible access to the single market, | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
as well as making sure the trade deals we have are kept in place. | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
The Scotland Secretary voted last month to remain | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
He says we told you that this would happen. | :02:48. | :02:57. | |
I very much hope that we won't have a recession situation, | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
but we obviously are going to have a period of uncertainty, | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
a period where people will not be keen to invest in projects that may | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
have been going ahead in this period. | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
That is why is important to bring as much certainty in a shorter | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
But I'm not dismissing the challenge of doing that. | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
Wel, the Governor of the Bank of England Mark Carney spoke out | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
for a third time in recent days reassuring us that he is taking | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
measures to ease lending conditions for banks. | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
But he was also warning of the Brexit effect spreading | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
to the housing market and to foreign investment. | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
Well, some foreign investors continue to be big spenders here, | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
this one on golf courses, but Donald Trump's political | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
breakthrough in America means further uncertainties ahead | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
Douglas Fraser there with that report. | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
Meanwhile, the First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has renewed her call | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
for all EU citizens, resident in the UK, to be given | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
She was speaking after talks with diplomats from EU | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Here's our political correspondent Glenn Campbell. | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
Tourists come from near and far to see the First Minister's | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
Most only catch a glimpse from the outside, but today's | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
visitors included diplomats representing all corners of Europe, | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
invited to share their concerns following the Brexit vote. | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
We are getting a lot of phone calls from people | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
who could become Belgians because they want to drop | :04:30. | :04:38. | |
the British citizenship into the Belgian one. | :04:39. | :04:39. | |
There is panic among Europeans not knowing what will happen next White | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
18 consuls attended talks with the First Minister who stressed | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
that hasn't yet been any change to the status of EU | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
These are concerns that are being communicated to us. | :04:49. | :05:15. | |
I am very keen to get a message across that we value | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
As well as appealing to the UK Government, to give all EU | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
citizens already living here the right to remain, | :05:23. | :05:23. | |
the First Minister is also exploring options to maintain | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
Scotland's links with the EU, even if the rest of the UK is coming | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
out, and she's made clear those options include a possible second | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
Diplomats tend to use diplomatic language about independence, | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
Any question of independence for Scotland is an internal matter | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
for the UK and we would make no comment on that. | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
However, it is clear that were Scotland to be independent, | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
One consul general couldn't resist the temptation. | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
Best to wait and see what happens, he said. | :05:54. | :06:11. | |
Liam Fox has been eliminated from the race to be the next | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
Conservative leader and Prime Minister. | :06:20. | :06:20. | |
Dr Fox, who was born in East Kilbride, finished last | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
Home Secretary Theresa May topped the ballot followed by energy | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
Michael Gove, the Edinburgh-born Justice Secretary, | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
Stephen Crabb, the Inverness-born work and Pensions Secretary, | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
A survivors' group says, it's lost confidence in the Scottish | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
It follows the resignation of chairwoman Susan O'Brien | :06:40. | :06:48. | |
who stepped down after the Deputy First Minister began formal | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
But John Swinney has denied undue interference and insisted | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
the Government was trying to ensure costs associated | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
From 1964 to 1974, Helen Holland was abused at home in Kilmarnock run | :06:56. | :07:05. | |
From 1964 to 1974, Helen Holland was abused at a home in Kilmarnock | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
run by the Catholic order of the Sisters of Nazareth. | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
She now staffs a helpline for survivors of care abuse. | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
Helen views current developments with concern. | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
The survivors who have participated so far have done | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
so with the assurance that this is independent of the government. | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
So if they're now finding out it is not on the government | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
are having involvement where they shouldn't be, | :07:26. | :07:26. | |
then there are major trust issues in relation to that as well. | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
Speaking on Radio Scotland, Deputy First Minister said | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
the Government was required to ensure value for money | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
and questioned the use of QCs to take witness statements | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
But he firmly denied putting cash and control ahead | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
I want to assure survivors today and I will work to do it | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
for the foreseeable future that the inquiry will be free | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
to take all of the evidence, to look into all of the issues it | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
needs to look into without fear or favour and to make | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
sure it does that job properly and comprehensively. | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
In addition to Susan O'Brien, Cambridge Professor Michael Lamb | :08:06. | :08:14. | |
resigned last week also citing government interference. | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
That leaves Glen Houston, a social care expert | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
from Northern Ireland as the only remaining panel member for now. | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
A Government spokeswoman said today that officials had been instructed | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
already to identify replacements for Ms O'Brien and Professor Lamb. | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
She also insisted that evidence gathered so far | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
for the inquiry would stand and that public hearings planned | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
This Scottish head of a national children's charity says it is vital | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
Clearly, until the inquiry is fully staffed again then victims will be | :08:44. | :08:54. | |
concerned, and I think it's important the Government acts | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
swiftly to set the inquiry on a sound footing. | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
Victims will seek those reassurances and more when they meet | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
the Deputy First Minister to see what happens next. | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
Tennis, and Andy Murray says he can't afford to think | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
about the later stages at Wimbledon or he'll get distracted | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
He faces the world number 12 Jo Wilfrid Tsonga of France | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
A memorial to the longest match of all time, 1768 in the fifth | :09:26. | :09:37. | |
Last night they finished after 9pm at 13-13 in the fifth. | :09:38. | :09:51. | |
Surely we're not in for another epic. | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
In fact only another four games were required as Murray and Suarez | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
Yeah, concentrate hard on the next match. | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
It's going to be tough regardless of who we play. | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
But it is going to be a tough match for them as well. | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
I think we're both really excited about it. | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
Little brother is just as excited for him tomorrow a quarter-final | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
against Jo Wilfred Tsonga of France with no thought spared for the big | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
names like Novak Djokovic who've already been knocked out. | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
Those results that have happened don't affect me yet. | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
It's different coming up against someone different to Novak. | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
Tsonga will be tough in the next round as well. | :10:40. | :10:51. | |
It is worth concentrating on those matches. | :10:52. | :10:52. | |
If you get distracted at this level, it can cost you. | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
The Davis Cup won't be a distraction, it's after Wimbledon | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
and both Murray brothers are in the team for the tie | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
Andy says he will wait until after he's done in SW19 | :11:03. | :11:11. | |
Well, time now to get the weather forecast for tonight | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
Good evening. It has been unsettled and no real change this week. Why? | :11:16. | :11:26. | |
The jet stream, it steers weather systems our way and its position is | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
fairly flat, it is static. It is not moving north or south. So day after | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
day, we will see weather system after weather system, showers, rain, | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
breezy at times. Remember that it is also the dividing line between the | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
warm air to the south generally and cooler air to the north. We are on | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
the cusp so it is not a complete write off, but yes, changeable. We | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
have seen heavy showers around today, but tonight it is dry. Some | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
clear skies, chilly in the countryside. Tomorrow morning, it is | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
a bright, sunny start for most. A fairly pleasant start to Wednesday. | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
Here are the temperatures at 8am. Around about 11 or 12 Celsius. Light | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
winds and a fairly decent start to the day. Perhaps one or two light | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
showers around the north-east coast and the far north, but really, it is | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
a dry morning. But then change as we head through the course of | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
Wednesday. We will start to see cloud thickening in the west as the | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
weather front arrives bringing rain across the Hebrides in towards | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
Argyll. Across the UK as a hole, well for most of England and Wales, | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
it is dry and bright. Some cloud, yes, but also sunshine. But that wet | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
weather edging in across Scotland and indeed Northern Ireland. The | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
further east and south-east that you are, the warmer it will be. For us | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
here in Scotland, 15 to 17 Celsius, but as the rain arrives feeling | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
cool. A soggy night overnight to Thursday, | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
but it clears through smartly. So by Thursday morning, yes, still wet | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
weather for Shetland and the far north, but for many, a dry day. | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
Looking across the UK as a whole on Thursday, you'll notice there is | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
this trailing weather front producing outbreaks of rain for | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
North Wales and Anglesey and towards Cumbria as well, but the Midlands | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
southwards generally drier and for us here in Scotland decent spells of | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
sunshine and temperatures of 21 Celsius. That's the forecast. | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
Our next update is during Breakfast at 6.25am tomorrow morning, | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
but from everyone on the late team, here in Glasgow, and around | :13:23. | :13:26. |
