:00:51. > :00:53.on a student visa five years ago, but since finishing her studies,
:00:54. > :00:56.Mrs Brain has been unable to find a job that would allow
:00:57. > :01:05.It was the Brain family's dream to live in Scotland, and being here has
:01:06. > :01:08.exceeded expectation. Seven-year-old Lachlan knows nothing else, but the
:01:09. > :01:12.scheme that brought them here has come to an end. They have been
:01:13. > :01:18.fighting to stay but today is the end of the line. Unless Kathryn gets
:01:19. > :01:21.a job offer. We are still hopeful common sense will prevail and the UK
:01:22. > :01:27.Government will see that they made a promise to us six years ago that
:01:28. > :01:31.these visas would be available, and encouraged us to sell our house,
:01:32. > :01:36.invest our lives here on a multi-year programme. And our
:01:37. > :01:42.livelihood as well. Our livelihood. I gave up ?40,000 your job to come
:01:43. > :01:46.here. So what happened? In 2010 the family were granted at visa with the
:01:47. > :01:50.promise of staying here for two years after study. In March 2011
:01:51. > :01:53.this was scrapped. The family arrived here three months later. It
:01:54. > :01:56.was only the following year they arrived here three months later. It
:01:57. > :02:01.realised the post study work Visa was to be withdrawn. It ended a
:02:02. > :02:05.month later. The family feel the British Government is going back on
:02:06. > :02:08.its promise. They do not want to go back to Australia. Yes, we love
:02:09. > :02:15.Australia and we have friends and relatives back there. But this is
:02:16. > :02:18.where we belong, and this is all Lachlan knows as well. He has grown
:02:19. > :02:21.up your and he does not remember Australia at all. So we do really
:02:22. > :02:25.feel belonging to this place. The Home Office see all Visa
:02:26. > :02:28.applications are considered on their merits, and applicants must meet
:02:29. > :02:34.requirements of immigration rules. The value is to keep fighting. Ten
:02:35. > :02:38.years of planning and struggling and saving and looking at visa options,
:02:39. > :02:43.going through a house fire. Both of our mothers dying of cancer in that
:02:44. > :02:47.period and telling us, do not try with your dreams still inside of
:02:48. > :02:53.you. It took us ten years to get there. We do not do giving up. The
:02:54. > :02:56.Brains say they do not know what will happen at midnight, but
:02:57. > :03:01.tomorrow they are expected to start making arrangements to leave.
:03:02. > :03:03.A Labour MSP has officially lodged proposals to scrap
:03:04. > :03:04.the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act.
:03:05. > :03:07.James Kelly says the law, which was introduced in 2012,
:03:08. > :03:10.had damaged trust between police and football fans.
:03:11. > :03:25.When the law came in in 2012, the Scottish Government said it was
:03:26. > :03:28.needed to tackle unacceptable behaviour like this. Historically
:03:29. > :03:33.linked to football, especially in the West of Scotland. It has always
:03:34. > :03:38.been controversial, prompting protests from supporters. Now this
:03:39. > :03:45.Labour MSP is launching a consultation on scrapping the Act.
:03:46. > :03:48.The Act is unjust and unfair. It criminalises football fans, has
:03:49. > :03:52.created division between fans and police. And it has been widely
:03:53. > :03:55.criticised by judges. I think something had to be put in place.
:03:56. > :03:59.Legislation is now in place that shows we have an issue and we will
:04:00. > :04:03.deal with it. If it is not the right legislation, let's look at that, but
:04:04. > :04:08.at the moment I think it gives the police the powers they need to take
:04:09. > :04:12.through any problems that arise that happen within the football arena.
:04:13. > :04:15.The Scottish Government says its law is making things better. It claims
:04:16. > :04:22.80% of Scots support the legislation. The catalyst for this,
:04:23. > :04:26.if you remember, was an Old Firm game, and prior to that game it did
:04:27. > :04:29.seem this sort of behaviour was seen as acceptable from people outside
:04:30. > :04:35.Scotland, to people in Scotland, and I think for the first time in a long
:04:36. > :04:38.they will be having these Old games on a regular basis again, it is
:04:39. > :04:41.certainly not the time to be scrapping the Bell and certainly not
:04:42. > :04:46.if we cannot see what we will replace it with. All four opposition
:04:47. > :04:51.parties at Holyrood have pledged to repeal the law so there could now be
:04:52. > :04:57.moved in Parliament for kicking the act into long grass.
:04:58. > :05:01.A dispute between ScotRail and the RMT union over driver-only
:05:02. > :05:04.The train operator believes some actions by the union
:05:05. > :05:06.contravene legislation that governs industrial action.
:05:07. > :05:08.The RMT says it will respond once it's examined
:05:09. > :05:11.Further strikes are planned later this month over plans
:05:12. > :05:15.An independent investigation is to be carried out
:05:16. > :05:17.after Police Scotland breached guidelines on accessing
:05:18. > :05:19.data in a row linked to journalists' sources.
:05:20. > :05:21.Durham Constabulary has been asked to look into the circumstances
:05:22. > :05:23.after Police Scotland admitted it fell below the required standards.
:05:24. > :05:26.The five breaches were linked to the investigation into the murder
:05:27. > :05:37.of Emma Caldwell, who was killed in 2005.
:05:38. > :05:41.They were the forerunners of modern photography.
:05:42. > :05:44.Camera obscura - the projection of images into a dark room
:05:45. > :05:47.from a pin hole or glass lens - date back at least 2000 years.
:05:48. > :05:51.One in Dumfries is thought to be the oldest in continuous operation
:05:52. > :06:09.As this rope, if you look up words, you will see that the cover to the
:06:10. > :06:14.camera obscura opens... 180 years old, still in perfect working order.
:06:15. > :06:22.The mechanism, original. The table I use for focusing, so as I bring it
:06:23. > :06:28.up words, to make the picture come clear... The lens project on live
:06:29. > :06:33.picture of Dumfries, people on their daily business, moving cars and
:06:34. > :06:38.bridges, familiar landmarks from an unfamiliar angle. The old bridge
:06:39. > :06:41.across here, running behind it. As I show the picture, people are still
:06:42. > :06:55.amazed it is in colour. That is a question we get at -- a lot. The --
:06:56. > :06:59.Dumfries is in colour. Formally a corn mill, it was bought by the
:07:00. > :07:02.astronomical Society and turned into an observatory, though not quite as
:07:03. > :07:07.quickly as the founding fathers hoped. They come across this guy in
:07:08. > :07:10.1835 and they really hoped to have the instrument installed in time to
:07:11. > :07:14.view it. But unfortunately due to the time it took to convert the
:07:15. > :07:18.building and commission the instruments, they were not prepared
:07:19. > :07:24.quite intentionally did not see it. The Observatory opened eventually on
:07:25. > :07:27.the 1st of August 18 36. Too late for Healy 's Comet, but that did not
:07:28. > :07:31.stop people flocking here to pay sixpence at a time to see unique
:07:32. > :07:35.moving colour images of Dumfries. Scotland's first camera obscura was
:07:36. > :07:38.in Edinburgh, but it change location, so this is the longest
:07:39. > :07:42.continuous operation in this country, and it is believed, in the
:07:43. > :07:46.world. Modern life viewed through ancient technology. Big Brother's
:07:47. > :07:58.been around longer than you thought. Thank you very much. Good afternoon
:07:59. > :08:01.to you. The first day of August so far has provided us with a lot of
:08:02. > :08:05.drives bright weather and some spells of sunshine and there will be
:08:06. > :08:10.very little in terms of change this afternoon. Just a scattering of
:08:11. > :08:14.showers, primarily across the North. One or two heavy showers across
:08:15. > :08:18.Aberdeen shower this afternoon. And a fairly cloudy prospect in Shetland
:08:19. > :08:23.with perhaps very late and Apache outbreaks of rain. It surely feel
:08:24. > :08:24.across the northern Isles and Caithness, generally with fresh
:08:25. > :08:31.westerly winds -- and Apache Caithness, generally with fresh
:08:32. > :08:34.outbreaks of rain. Temperatures 17 to 19 Celsius, peaking around 20
:08:35. > :08:38.degrees for central and southern parts and a pleasant feel in bright
:08:39. > :08:42.or sunny spells. This evening, the showers will tend to fade. A few
:08:43. > :08:47.hanging on across the Northern Isles. A dry night will follow for
:08:48. > :08:52.most of us with clear shelves. Temperatures include rural areas
:08:53. > :08:56.falling to four or five Celsius, quite chilly. But for the most part
:08:57. > :09:00.holding up around eight or 10 Celsius with light winds. Tomorrow,
:09:01. > :09:03.a ridge of high pressure will maintain mostly dry and settled
:09:04. > :09:08.conditions for a good part of the day, although this weather front
:09:09. > :09:11.will gradually make inroads into the south-west later. A dry and bright
:09:12. > :09:15.start, plenty of sunshine. Very gradually as we go through the day
:09:16. > :09:19.we will see cloud increasing from the south-west, and that will be
:09:20. > :09:24.followed by outbreaks of rain later in the day. Temperatures tomorrow
:09:25. > :09:25.will peak around 20, is not 21 Celsius. That is your forecast.
:09:26. > :09:28.Thank you very much.
