:00:07. > :00:11.BBC Scotland has learned that the cost of the inquiry
:00:12. > :00:16.into the Edinburgh trams fiasco is already more than ?3.7 million.
:00:17. > :00:19.The Scottish government set it up two years ago to look into why
:00:20. > :00:22.the project came in late and at more than double its original budget.
:00:23. > :00:34.The Edinburgh trams have been running for about two years now and
:00:35. > :00:38.they seem to be proving popular. Passenger numbers are higher than
:00:39. > :00:44.expected. The line runs from Edinburgh airport to the city
:00:45. > :00:48.centre. The cost, ?776 million. It was five years overdue, and the line
:00:49. > :00:56.did not go as far as it was meant to. Swift and Fera was the aim when
:00:57. > :01:01.the tram enquiry was launched back in June 20 14. It is said to be
:01:02. > :01:05.making good progress, already collating more than 6 million
:01:06. > :01:08.documents. A Freedom of information request from the BBC to the Scottish
:01:09. > :01:14.Government shows that the costs have already exceeded ?3.7 million. That
:01:15. > :01:21.includes ?1.8 million on staffing costs. And ?716,000 on legal fees.
:01:22. > :01:24.On the streets of the city, another multi-million pound headline
:01:25. > :01:27.involving the trams does not seem to be going down well. The enquiries
:01:28. > :01:33.cost the earth. I am not be going down well. The enquiries
:01:34. > :01:36.with that. I think it is wrong that they should have to pay so much for
:01:37. > :01:42.an enquiry that should have been paid for by the people that cost us
:01:43. > :01:45.this much money. Why? It is like school, is somebody going to get the
:01:46. > :01:52.cane? I don't think so, they just get moved on. Some transport experts
:01:53. > :01:54.say there has to be an enquiry into such an expensive and controversial
:01:55. > :01:58.project and it will be worth it. We need to understand the reasons why
:01:59. > :02:03.that happened so that we can then inform the design and planning of
:02:04. > :02:06.other major transport infrastructure schemes in the future and hopefully
:02:07. > :02:09.save ourselves money in the future. That is why we should not
:02:10. > :02:14.necessarily be too concerned about the cost of the enquiry, because
:02:15. > :02:19.when we compare it to the potential savings from implying its findings,
:02:20. > :02:23.we could save ourselves a lot of money. -- applying its findings. A
:02:24. > :02:27.spokesman said that Scottish ministers have been clear from the
:02:28. > :02:30.start that it should be timely and cost effective. The government said
:02:31. > :02:31.that the enquiry team is committed to delivering a fair and balanced
:02:32. > :02:37.report with their recommendations. A holiday park operator has been

:03:53. > :03:54.said there would be consultations with the Scottish Government
:03:55. > :03:56.but that it would not be able Here's our Westminster
:03:57. > :04:11.correspondent, David Porter. A month ago today, we were voting on
:04:12. > :04:16.whether to stay in the EU. Scotland voted overwhelmingly to remain, but
:04:17. > :04:22.the UK as a whole decided to leave. That set about quite a train of
:04:23. > :04:28.events. A Prime Minister has resigned. A new occupant has moved
:04:29. > :04:32.into Downing Street. And the Labour leader is fighting for his survival.
:04:33. > :04:40.The First Minister has indicated a second independence referendum is
:04:41. > :04:44.now in her words highly likely. Four weeks on and minds are turning to
:04:45. > :04:50.how Brexit will work and what role Scotland will have. The Prime
:04:51. > :04:56.Minister has stated that Brexit means Brexit and the First Minister
:04:57. > :05:01.of Scotland has stated that for us, remain means remain. Do you agree
:05:02. > :05:04.that the will of Scotland should be respected? By Minister has indicated
:05:05. > :05:09.that she will not trigger Article 50 until there is a UK approach to
:05:10. > :05:17.Brexit. Does the learner gentleman agree that there should be
:05:18. > :05:20.researched on to see... All Parliament of the UK, including the
:05:21. > :05:23.devolved administrations, should be able to participate in the process
:05:24. > :05:27.of developing the United Kingdom's approach to these negotiations but
:05:28. > :05:31.that does not mean that any of the parts of the United Kingdom have a
:05:32. > :05:37.veto over this process. And so consultations most certainly, but
:05:38. > :05:40.veto, I am afraid not. From an English Eurosceptic Conservative,
:05:41. > :05:43.this. I am quite happy with the government consulting with the
:05:44. > :05:49.devolved administrations, but what concerns me is that we do not finish
:05:50. > :05:53.up being held to ransom by Scottish Nationalists. I think the Prime
:05:54. > :05:56.Minister has been very clear that the United Kingdom will leave the
:05:57. > :06:01.European Union and that means all of the United Kingdom. As MPs packed
:06:02. > :06:06.their bags and head for their summer break, they know one thing is almost
:06:07. > :06:10.certain, whatever else may happen, when they get back, the Brexit
:06:11. > :06:12.question is likely to dominate all other issues.
:06:13. > :06:14.Yesterday economic data revealed that the Scottish
:06:15. > :06:16.economy is stagnating - and growing at less than half
:06:17. > :06:25.Much of that is down to the impact of the downturn in the oil industry,
:06:26. > :06:28.but what sort of effect could Brexit have on Scottish business?

:07:10. > :07:15.is a big, productive output. Definitely. We have grown quick and
:07:16. > :07:18.rapidly. It is an exciting time for the business. How important our

:07:39. > :07:42.now, it is uncertain. No-one seems to know the answers to the
:07:43. > :07:47.questions. Butter, sugar, margarine, everything that is an important
:07:48. > :07:51.ingredient in the products we use, sadly they are all in price. Whether
:07:52. > :07:56.or not we are in the European Union, you will want to the single market
:07:57. > :08:00.to continue. Without a shadow of a doubt. We needed to continue as a
:08:01. > :08:04.business. We would have to adapt and change as we have done in the past,
:08:05. > :08:05.but for us to maintain growth at such a healthy way, we need the
:08:06. > :08:10.market to remain open. The Royal Navy is investigating how
:08:11. > :08:12.a Faslane-based nuclear-powered submarine collided with a civilian
:08:13. > :08:16.boat off the coast of Gibraltar. HMS Ambush has now been taken
:08:17. > :08:18.into port to be checked. Here's our correspondent,

:08:34. > :08:36.with significant damage. The boat is being assessed for repairs. It
:08:37. > :08:41.struck a merchant vessel off the coast of Gibraltar. One defence
:08:42. > :08:47.analyst says it may have been trying to hide as part of an exercise. One
:08:48. > :08:52.suspects that perhaps she was using a relatively noisy tanker as cover
:08:53. > :08:55.and got too close. Perhaps she misjudged the draft of the tanker.
:08:56. > :09:01.It was apparently a bunkering tanker and they go up and down. If she did,
:09:02. > :09:07.she made an error. A retired sub Mariner has some sympathy with the
:09:08. > :09:08.crew. If you listen to all that noise of vehicles underneath
:09:09. > :09:15.crew. If you listen to all that Forth Road Bridge, that noise, that
:09:16. > :09:21.is what you hear in the Gibraltar Strait. A stop start, with fishing
:09:22. > :09:30.vessels and draft tankers, lots of them. You never get a minute to just
:09:31. > :09:35.stop. It is the latest incident involving an astute class submarine.
:09:36. > :09:40.One ran aground off sky in 2010. This kind do not carry nuclear
:09:41. > :09:44.weapons but they do have nuclear reactors. The Royal Navy say that
:09:45. > :09:51.there was no threat to the reactor but the SNP have expressed concerns.
:09:52. > :09:59.The MoD have explained to do as to how this happened. It calls into
:10:00. > :10:02.question the overall safety aspect. The MOD do not yet know if the
:10:03. > :10:06.submarine will be repaired here at its home base on the Clyde or
:10:07. > :10:10.elsewhere. What we do know is that this has been an embarrassing
:10:11. > :10:11.incident for the Royal Navy, a service which normally prides itself
:10:12. > :10:22.on stealth and seamanship. Three people who died after a
:10:23. > :10:26.disturbance in Aberdeen on Tuesday night have been named. Police
:10:27. > :10:30.believe the 40-year-old Tracy Gabriel and 40-year-old Keith Taylor
:10:31. > :10:33.were murdered by Stuart Gallacher, 57. He plunged to his death from a
:10:34. > :10:39.12th floor balcony after police arrived. The Scottish Police
:10:40. > :10:43.Federation has claimed that senior officers were sent to charity shops
:10:44. > :10:48.to buy equipment. Officers escorting a child in a police car went to the
:10:49. > :10:50.shops to buy sunblinds to screen the child from public view. Police
:10:51. > :10:52.Scotland acknowledged budget challenges.

:11:02. > :11:09.Hearts lost 2-1 at home to Malta's Birkirkara.
:11:10. > :11:11.But it was good news for Aberdeen, with a 1-0
:11:12. > :11:13.win over Ventspils in Latvia, bokking them a place
:11:14. > :11:21.Let's get the weather outlook for tonight and tomorrow
:11:22. > :11:29.Most of us have had a fairly pleasant day of weather with bright
:11:30. > :11:34.or sunny spells. Tonight, it becomes cloudy for most of us with some
:11:35. > :11:39.outbreaks of rain. Especially across West of Scotland. Some fairly heavy
:11:40. > :11:46.pulses at times. It will be a muggy night foremost temperatures around
:11:47. > :11:49.13 Celsius. Tomorrow, cloudy note, with outbreaks of rain tracking West
:11:50. > :11:54.to east. Eight o'clock tomorrow morning, some Brighton is holding an
:11:55. > :11:58.across the far north-east. And something of a clearance already
:11:59. > :12:03.beginning to show its hand across the Western Isles, and for some
:12:04. > :12:07.West, coastal areas. Otherwise, looking cloudy with outbreaks of
:12:08. > :12:09.rain. As we go through the course of the day, that rain will continue
:12:10. > :12:13.rain. As we go through the course of track east towards, becoming lighter
:12:14. > :12:17.and patchy, eventually clearing into the North Sea. Something of a legacy
:12:18. > :12:24.of cloud for some eastern areas. One or two shark showers in the
:12:25. > :12:32.afternoon, otherwise some sunshine. Taking a look into tomorrow
:12:33. > :12:34.afternoon, some spells of sunshine and heavy, thundery downpours
:12:35. > :12:42.developing throughout the London area and East Anglia. The odd rumble
:12:43. > :12:47.of thunder, and hail in the mix. Temperatures peaking around 25 or 26
:12:48. > :12:51.Celsius, feeling warm in the sunshine. Into the evening, and
:12:52. > :12:56.Scotland will hold onto showers across Aberdeenshire, perhaps for
:12:57. > :12:59.Easter and coastal areas too. Otherwise looking dry and bright
:13:00. > :13:06.with sunshine. Saturday, we have a weather front making inroads during
:13:07. > :13:07.the morning, gradually tracking across eastern areas during the
:13:08. > :13:11.course of the day. The driest, across eastern areas during the
:13:12. > :13:16.brightest weather will hold on across the far south and east
:13:17. > :13:19.although showers developing here, too, and a fairly muggy, quite warm
:13:20. > :13:21.feel, especially across the south-east. And it is a fresher feel
