Now it's time for all the news where you are.

:00:00.:00:09.

Police in Perthshire are investigating the death

:00:10.:00:12.

It happened on a farm, which is used as a base

:00:13.:00:16.

for migrants employed as fruit pickers.

:00:17.:00:18.

This is the site behind me where emergency services were called to

:00:19.:00:24.

reports of a fire in the early hours of Sunday morning.

:00:25.:00:27.

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

:00:28.:00:30.

When the emergency services got here this morning they

:00:31.:00:34.

There are in fact dozens of caravans here,

:00:35.:00:39.

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

:00:40.:00:43.

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

:00:44.:00:54.

Is a shock. Somebody dying always is.

:00:55.:00:56.

There are quite a few dozen that live on the farm.

:00:57.:01:00.

Police have been here all day and they say the investigation

:01:01.:01:02.

They also say that there was a fatality from this fire.

:01:03.:01:06.

They haven't given any more details yet until the next of kin have

:01:07.:01:09.

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

:01:10.:01:18.

between management and unions involved in a long running dispute

:01:19.:01:20.

The sticking point is over who will operate the doors.

:01:21.:01:24.

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

:01:25.:01:28.

But the RMT union, who are today staging another strike

:01:29.:01:30.

over the issue, fear that not having a guard

:01:31.:01:32.

We want safety trained, safety certified guards on the trains.

:01:33.:01:45.

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

:01:46.:01:48.

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

:01:49.:01:51.

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

:01:52.:01:54.

Our proposal to find a way forward is all about

:01:55.:01:57.

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

:01:58.:02:01.

We are working with both the unions about having a

:02:02.:02:03.

Very similar duties to what we have currently.

:02:04.:02:06.

We want the doors to be controlled differently, because that

:02:07.:02:09.

is very important for us to deliver a good really

:02:10.:02:11.

I am convinced we will find a way forward.

:02:12.:02:23.

Police investigating a serious sexual assault in Aberdeen

:02:24.:02:25.

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

:02:26.:02:27.

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

:02:28.:02:31.

which happened in Torry's Grampian Lane early yesterday.

:02:32.:02:35.

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

:02:36.:02:38.

Housing bodies have welcomed the formal end today

:02:39.:02:47.

of the Right to Buy scheme in Scotland.

:02:48.:02:49.

Nearly 500,000 council and housing association homes

:02:50.:02:50.

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

:02:51.:02:53.

It allowed tenants in social housing to buy their homes

:02:54.:02:55.

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

:02:56.:03:01.

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

:03:02.:03:04.

We have not been replacing the housing at the

:03:05.:03:11.

same rate that were having to sell the housing, so, ultimately,

:03:12.:03:14.

it has taken housing out of social renting

:03:15.:03:16.

In the golf it was a disappointing day for Scotland's Katrina Matthew.

:03:17.:03:36.

The Edinburgh golfer finished joint fifth on nine under. She started

:03:37.:03:42.

well with birdies at the second. I had a couple of slack shots causing

:03:43.:03:49.

bogeys. It was just a little thing like a bit of a struggle. Not too

:03:50.:04:01.

bad a beat. Disappointed. Look back now for the weather.

:04:02.:04:11.

Just a futurist peppering north-western coastal areas. Still a

:04:12.:04:20.

future across the north primarily. Becoming a bit more widespread for

:04:21.:04:23.

these areas as we go through the day. One or two showers for the

:04:24.:04:29.

north-east of the afternoon. A cloudy picture across Shetland with

:04:30.:04:34.

outbreaks of rain. A cool feel here with brisk westerly winds. Looking

:04:35.:04:41.

ahead to Tuesday again a lots of dry and bright weather to come. Plenty

:04:42.:04:46.

of sunshine around, too. A weather front moving in from the Atlantic

:04:47.:04:47.

later in the day. Our next update's at 6.25am tomorrow

:04:48.:04:49.

morning, during Breakfast Time. Until then, from everyone

:04:50.:04:52.

on the weekend team, enjoy the rest

:04:53.:04:54.

of your Sunday evening.

:04:55.:05:01.
