throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel. We will be back with

:00:00.:00:00.

the late Police in Perthshire

:00:00.:00:07.

are investigating the death It happened on a farm,

:00:08.:00:11.

which is used as a base for migrants employed

:00:12.:00:16.

as fruit pickers. This is the site behind me were

:00:17.:00:27.

emergency services were called to reports of a fire in the early hours

:00:28.:00:32.

of Sunday morning. It's the mains of a farm, which amongst other things

:00:33.:00:36.

grows fruit. In the emergency services got here this morning they

:00:37.:00:40.

found a caravan on fire. There are in fact dozens of caravans here

:00:41.:00:45.

which are homes to the many migrant workers which pick the farm fruit.

:00:46.:00:50.

Regular visitors to the shop have met some of those visitors. There

:00:51.:01:00.

are quite a few dozen that lives on the farm. Police have been here all

:01:01.:01:04.

day and they say the investigation is well underway. They also say that

:01:05.:01:09.

there was a fatality from this fire. They haven't given any more details

:01:10.:01:13.

yet until the next of kin have been informed.

:01:14.:01:13.

Talks are to be held tomorrow to try to break the stalemate

:01:14.:01:18.

between management and unions involved in a long running dispute

:01:19.:01:21.

Abellio, who run ScotRail, insist it must be the driver.

:01:22.:01:31.

But the RMT union, who are today staging another strike

:01:32.:01:36.

over the issue, fear that not having a guard

:01:37.:01:38.

We want a safety trains, safety certified guard on the trains. We

:01:39.:01:53.

would welcome an extension where there is a driver on the operated

:01:54.:01:57.

trains, we would look for a ticket examiners to be guaranteed on them.

:01:58.:02:02.

There is no guarantee at the moment. It is not good enough. Our proposal

:02:03.:02:07.

to find a way forward is all about having a conductor on the train. We

:02:08.:02:12.

made that proposal at the back end of last week. We are working with

:02:13.:02:15.

both the unions about having a conductor on the train. Very similar

:02:16.:02:21.

duties to what we have currently exactly what the doors to be

:02:22.:02:24.

controlled differently, because that is very important for us to deliver

:02:25.:02:29.

a good really for our customers. I am convinced we will find a way

:02:30.:02:30.

I am convinced we will find a way forward.

:02:31.:02:33.

Police investigating a serious sexual assault in Aberdeen

:02:34.:02:35.

say they want to trace a car seen in the area.

:02:36.:02:38.

Officers have given no details of the victim of the attack,

:02:39.:02:40.

which happened in Torry's Grampian Lane early yesterday.

:02:41.:02:42.

They want to speak to the owner of a light coloured estate car seen

:02:43.:02:45.

Edinburgh's 20mph speed limit has been

:02:46.:02:49.

It's being introduced in the city centre first,

:02:50.:02:53.

before being rolled out across the capital.

:02:54.:02:54.

It's the first city-wide limit of its kind in Scotland.

:02:55.:02:57.

The idea is to improve safety and make streets more people friendly.

:02:58.:03:14.

When complete, around 80% of Edinburgh's is not had a limit of 20

:03:15.:03:19.

miles per para. Most of the streets included in the scheme will be those

:03:20.:03:24.

in shopping residential areas. Critics fear the new limit will

:03:25.:03:28.

disrupt trade, add the driver frustration and increased traffic

:03:29.:03:32.

times. Edinburgh Council said a network of key roads will be

:03:33.:03:38.

maintained at 30 or 40 mph. Police got the daily will enforce the new

:03:39.:03:39.

There are fears that as many as 80 jobs

:03:40.:03:43.

could go at an Aberdeen fish processing factory.

:03:44.:03:45.

Nolan Seafoods says it's consulting with its workforce on the move,

:03:46.:03:47.

which it says has been brought about by volatility

:03:48.:03:49.

in the marketplace and a drop in supply of salmon.

:03:50.:03:52.

The company, which has a base in Belfast, also blames the high

:03:53.:03:55.

Housing bodies have welcomed the formal end today

:03:56.:03:58.

of the Right to Buy scheme in Scotland.

:03:59.:04:00.

Nearly 500,000 council and housing association homes

:04:01.:04:02.

were sold under the policy, which was introduced in 1980.

:04:03.:04:04.

It allowed tenants in social housing to buy their homes

:04:05.:04:06.

MSPs voted to scrap the measure two-years-ago.

:04:07.:04:18.

The research that we commissioned last year so that we have a backlog

:04:19.:04:25.

at the moment of 60,000 houses. That will give you some idea. We have not

:04:26.:04:29.

been replacing the Housing at the same rate that were having to sell

:04:30.:04:34.

the housing, so, ultimately, it has taken housing out of social renting

:04:35.:04:38.

And we'll have more on that story on Reporting Scotland tomorrow evening.

:04:39.:04:42.

prospects for this evening and the start of the week.

:04:43.:04:46.

Much of the country dry this evening. Bushehr as we have seen

:04:47.:04:59.

today becoming confined to Western and "Alias. They will continue

:05:00.:05:03.

throughout the night. Otherwise, it becomes dry with clear periods. A

:05:04.:05:09.

fairly chilly nights for sheltered and rural areas. For the most part

:05:10.:05:17.

we hold up around nine to 11 degrees. Scattering of showers

:05:18.:05:20.

across the north tomorrow. It will become more widespread as we go

:05:21.:05:23.

through the day, especially towards the north-east which could be heavy

:05:24.:05:27.

in the afternoon. Otherwise it is looking mostly dry with some spells

:05:28.:05:33.

of brightness and sunshine. Feeling pleasantly warm in the sunshine with

:05:34.:05:39.

highs of around 19 Celsius. For Tuesday, dry and bright weather with

:05:40.:05:42.

plenty of sunshine and feeling warm in the sunshine. However, this

:05:43.:05:46.

weather front makes inroads from the Atlantic later in the afternoon.

:05:47.:05:48.

Our next update is just after the 10pm news.

:05:49.:05:53.

Until then, from everyone on the team here in Glasgow,

:05:54.:05:55.

enjoy the rest of your Sunday evening.
