:07:31. > :07:32.And Nick, this is the first time these two men have met
:07:33. > :07:39.That is right. I think today was about two things in particular.
:07:40. > :07:42.Firstly it was a chance for the Scottish Government to set out its
:07:43. > :07:47.key interest, the one we have heard a lot about in the last fortnight is
:07:48. > :07:50.membership of the European single market. The Scottish Government
:07:51. > :07:54.beliefs we need to stay in, the UK Government is yet to detail exactly
:07:55. > :07:58.what it thinks on the issue. Secondly it was a chance for the
:07:59. > :08:04.Scottish Government and the UK Government to discuss what role
:08:05. > :08:07.Scottish ministers should have in formulating the UK Government's
:08:08. > :08:11.Brexit strategy, and one area in particular that came up today is
:08:12. > :08:17.what role Scottish ministers play when it comes to discussing devolved
:08:18. > :08:22.issues. Massively embedded in how the whole of the UK is now, we
:08:23. > :08:29.believe in moving on from that, but it would be inconceivable that the
:08:30. > :08:32.areas were negotiated on by anybody else. They are the responsibility of
:08:33. > :08:37.the Scottish Government and Parliament and I think we have to
:08:38. > :08:44.make that clear. We are at a very early stage in the process, we have
:08:45. > :08:47.to understand how we take forward the respective interests of
:08:48. > :08:50.Scotland, indeed other pars of the United Kingdom and how the
:08:51. > :08:54.negotiations are going to be structured.
:08:55. > :08:58.He also told the BBC he is still open to Scotland having a slightly
:08:59. > :09:00.different relationship with Europe, than the rest of the UK, post
:09:01. > :09:06.Brexit. But that is not an idea that than the rest of the UK, post
:09:07. > :09:11.is shared by everybody at the UK cabinet table. I am told there will
:09:12. > :09:15.be more details of Scotland's role in the Brexit talks, in the next few
:09:16. > :09:19.weeks and there will be more of these talks between the Scottish and
:09:20. > :09:23.UK Governments as they try and formulate some common cause moving
:09:24. > :09:29.forward. I think it is unlikely all will be as positive as today.

:09:36. > :09:39.Victims groups welcomed the move - they say for too many years

:09:42. > :09:43.when the mental torture can often be worse.
:09:44. > :10:05.Cover yourself up. Nobody wants to look at you. Domestic abuse takes
:10:06. > :10:10.many forms. It can go on for year, gradually gnawing away at the
:10:11. > :10:14.victim's self of sense. Make me feel worthless. Abuse for five years this
:10:15. > :10:20.woman's former partner was eventually jailed. She is still
:10:21. > :10:25.suffering. Depressed. Isolated. Anxious. Always feeling you had to
:10:26. > :10:31.run thing past and ask for permission. And trying to separate
:10:32. > :10:35.me from my friends, who could see through him. There tends to be a lot
:10:36. > :10:38.of self blame because they have been told over and over and over that
:10:39. > :10:44.this is only happening because they are not doing things right, they are
:10:45. > :10:51.not behaving in a proper way, they are not cooking, cleaning properly,
:10:52. > :11:01.and so, you know, that sense of person is eroded. This abuse is
:11:02. > :11:06.designed to be tackled by the new legislation. It is the controlling
:11:07. > :11:10.nature and the psychological abuse, and we have in the existing law,
:11:11. > :11:16.provisions the deal with the physical aspect of it. What this new
:11:17. > :11:19.legislation will do is to help with the psychological consequence that
:11:20. > :11:22.go with domestic violence. Cases of physical domestic abuse are
:11:23. > :11:26.currently prosecuted under existing criminal laws like breach of the
:11:27. > :11:30.peace or assault. Experts say they don't give sufficient powers to
:11:31. > :11:33.bring abusers to justice. The new law that is coming into place in
:11:34. > :11:37.Scotland will allow officers to go incidents and look at the whole
:11:38. > :11:40.story of what is happening in that particular relationship. So it is
:11:41. > :11:45.not just about the physical assault, not just the sexual assault it is
:11:46. > :11:48.about the isolation the controlling behaviour, the put downs and
:11:49. > :11:52.together they can be panelled up and put to the problems ray for fiscal.
:11:53. > :11:56.We are offering victims protection, we are offering the police more

:14:43. > :14:45.One of the real difficulty is knowing whether a patient has a

:23:07. > :23:11.a familiar story. Even if many of this cast weren't around when Train
:23:12. > :23:20.spotting first burst on to the Scottish cultural scene. They all
:23:21. > :23:24.grew up with RRenton, Spud. It is riddled in Scottish culture in terms
:23:25. > :23:28.of the book and film, everything. Getting a part like that, also doing
:23:29. > :23:37.something a little different with it so people aren't going, cool, like
:23:38. > :23:41.the film. The fill can which 20 years on, is still instantly

:24:47. > :24:50.escape the world they're in. That's politically, socially, culturally.
:24:51. > :24:58.That's as relevant now as in the eighties. One packet of mouth pass
:24:59. > :25:03.tells. A bottle of mutty vitamins. It's a circle which has taken over

:25:24. > :25:28.Good evening. For some, it was warm. We start with Cowles. Beach weather
:25:29. > :25:37.for some today. Not all. That picture taken on the north
:25:38. > :25:43.Sutherland coast. 26 was our top hot spot in Boyne in Aberdeenshire. If
:25:44. > :25:47.you had cloud down the west or east coast, much cooler. That wet weather
:25:48. > :25:51.spreading across the country overnight. Fairly murky down the
:25:52. > :25:53.east coast. The rain coming your way by dawn tomorrow. That should clear,
:25:54. > :25:58.that low cloud. It is a fairly mild by dawn tomorrow. That should clear,
:25:59. > :26:03.night tonight. We'll see a spell of rain. Temperatures around 13 degrees
:26:04. > :26:07.in town. Perhaps a touch cooler in the north-west once the rain clears.
:26:08. > :26:10.Tomorrow morning, a wet start for eastern Scotland with rain first
:26:11. > :26:14.thing. Clearing away. Perhaps taking a while to clear the north-east of
:26:15. > :26:18.Aberdeenshire and Shetland. Elsewhere, dry and bright. Spells of
:26:19. > :26:23.sunshine. A fresh feel. Temperatures 15-17 Celsius. Bear in mind some
:26:24. > :26:28.areas today had temperatures in the mid--20s. A different day entirely.
:26:29. > :26:32.Around the west coast, cloud, sunshine and finally, we've lost
:26:33. > :26:36.that low cloud around the north sea coasts. Shetland, perhaps showery
:26:37. > :26:39.outbreaks of rain lingering into the afternoon for you. The rest of the
:26:40. > :26:44.afternoon into the evening, largely dry. Some clear spells a ridge of
:26:45. > :26:48.high pressure builds in as we head overnight into the weekend. Quite a
:26:49. > :26:52.chilly night Friday to Saturday. The countryside perhaps down into
:26:53. > :26:57.mid-single digits. But that ridge of high pressure with us for Saturday.
:26:58. > :27:00.That means the first half of the weekend is dry and bright. Some
:27:01. > :27:03.lovely spells of sunshine. Temperatures where they should be
:27:04. > :27:07.for the time of year, about 17 Celsius are. Perhaps some thicker
:27:08. > :27:10.cloud, the odd spot of rain in the far north-west later. Sunday, that's
:27:11. > :27:18.when the rain really arrives. The weather front pushing in. The rain
:27:19. > :27:19.heavy at times. The exact timing of it making further eastwards likely
:27:20. > :27:22.to doubt. That's the forecast. I'll be back with the headlines
:27:23. > :27:26.at 8pm and the late bulletin
:27:27. > :27:28.just after the 10 o'clock news. Until then, from everyone on the
