And on BBC One, we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

The largest North Sea pipeline, delivering more than 40%

of Britain's oil and gas, is bought by the Grangemouth

Why we need to do more of this, a warning that 1.6 million

Scots are inactive and at risk of an early death.

Her husband wants more people to be aware of the illness to help

It still haunts me greatly because in the last week, I would say of

Liz's life, she was delirious, she was nauseous, she was constantly

vomiting. Also on the programme,

The 94-year-old who played a pivotal diplomatic role

during the Cold War. And Brendan Rogers says

he's not going anywhere. Celebrations as Celtic win

their sixth league title in a row. At this moment in time I am very,

very happy, very content, in every aspect of my life. I am in my dream

job, that is the reality of it. A ?200 million deal's been struck

to sell the North Sea's oldest oil pipeline,

Forties, which pumps 450,000 barrels of oil every

day from the North Sea. BP has been running the Forties

pipeline since it was first Its new owners - Ineos -

already own the Grangemouth refinery Here's our business and economy

editor, Douglas Fraser. The symbolic Royal start to the

North Sea oil boom 42 years ago. And they are indeed it is. No longer

shipped by tanker the 40s pipeline made did fireball, since then it has

carried the lion's share of 43 billion barrels of oil from the

North Sea. The system covers oil and gas from 40 offshore installations

from 40 operators to a single landing point and then it goes

through three pumping stations to Grangemouth and a terminal by the

Forth Bridge. BP and all associated with them have been in the forefront

of achievement on our continental shelf... When BP started operating

at the company was half owned by the government. It is now selling it to

at the company was half owned by the INEOS which already owns Grangemouth

refinery and petrochemical plant. INEOS have skill in running assets

efficiently, we think we can apply the same skills to the pipeline

system, we are trying to extract maximum economic value out of what

everyone understands is a declining stock of oil and gas in the North

Sea. BP insists it is still committed to the North Sea and

installations like this one West of Shetland but it is looking into new

assets. Is about what skills are best for new acids, -- which assets,

is we are exploring and drilling wells etc but for INEOS, they have

experience and baby taking 40s pipeline system from the reservoir

to loading arms and Tigers and they will be running these assets from

now on. 300 staff to be consulted and no redundancies planned yet as

Grangemouth workers found the hard way in 2013 INEOS can be very tough

in driving efficiencies. You are effectively signing the keys of the

kingdom to one individual, a company driven by one individual. They were

speaking about such a key asset, not just to the Scottish economy but to

the UK economy. The oil that flows to the refinery and petrochemical

plant here is just half of what it to the refinery and petrochemical

was at peak production for the North Sea but and is reckoned that it

could still be operating 30 years from now. One small pipeline, a very

big asset for the economy. Douglas Fraser, Reporting Scotland,

Grangemouth. The First Minister is in California,

where she is due to discuss climate Our Correspondent James Cook joins

us from outside the state capital Jackie, I think she hopes to achieve

a couple of things. First and foremost she wants to exchange ideas

with the governor of California, a Democrat who has been a fierce

opponent of President Trump especially on climate change. The

two share an interest in reducing emissions whereas the White House

and Trump has made it clear that it favours economic growth over climate

change. The First Minister will also discuss trade and investment, she

stresses she will meet executives from some Californian companies who

are investing in Scotland. And also she will be making a speech tomorrow

at Stanford University, one of the world's leading universities at

which she will discuss Brexit and the Middle East and of course she

will discuss Scottish independence. As for the reaction to that back

home, as it can imagine, some protesters are coming past us now.

This is what happens all the time in the United States these days, what

people are saying back home especially opposition politicians is

that the First Minister should concentrate on the day job. Those

were built words of the Scottish Tories, they say she should get back

to work and stop grandstanding abroad. Thank you, James Cook.

Nearly 40% of Scots are physically inactive.

A study by the British Heart Foundation warns that

as a result 1.6 million of us have a significantly increased

risk of coronary heart disease and early death.

Woking up and appetite, these fitness fanatics in Glasgow

regularly squeeze in an exercise class in their lunch hour. Finch and

brightens your day, breaks up your day, gives you a better outlook,

something to do when I go back to work I am energised, refreshed,

focused. Alaves you just end up putting on weight when you work in

an office so I think it's important. It makes me feel good, means I can

get away from my desk for half an hour, come to the gym, meet people,

and it keeps me fit. It seems so simple but the British Heart

Foundation say not enough of us are doing it.

The charity estimates 1.6 million people in Scotland are physically

inactive. They say the average man spends around 84 days you're sitting

down. For women it is 81 days ago. And overall women are 24% more

likely to be classified as physically inactive than men. What

we should be doing according to medical guidelines is 150 minutes a

week spread over a few days of something that gets the heart

moving, a brisk walk, running or cycling. For some people as part of

their daily routine, for many it is not. Inactivity is something that

can really creep up on you. And apparently it is creeping up on

around one quarter of us. Of course you will find people sweating

in the gym but just a few hundred yards away how active are people on

the streets outside? I didn't figure that I was unfit until a doctor

actually said, you need to do more exercise than just walking. Not a

lot of people to sport, I can't think of one of my friendship group

that does it. Received lots of many people walking on the streets, maybe

they are going in taxes than they should walk. The British Heart

Foundation say it is no laughing matter and doing regular vigorous

exercise like this will significantly reduce the risk of

coronary heart disease or early death. Rebecca Curran, Reporting

Scotland, Scotland. Seven months ago Julie Walker

and her six-year-old son, Lucas, Today it's emerged that safety

measures there remain unchanged despite a group being set up to look

at the provision of safety equipment Our reporter Steven

Duff joins us now. That's right, Jackie, a lot of talk

about risk assessments, what we should do but we still don't

actually know what happened on that Saturday afternoon last August, how

Julie and her six-year-old son Lucas got into such difficulty that they

lost their lives. We still don't know if any extra life-saving

equipment or lifeguard cover would have made any difference that

afternoon. We still don't know if the life-saving equipment that was

in place was working properly and we also don't know whether any

provision of lifeguards would have made a difference. The problem we

have is that the City Council, this agency, has admitted that nothing 's

safety wise has been done since the incident seven months ago. Currently

on the beach there is no change in the provision of equipment, because

at the minute the risk assessment process is being carried out. The

management group met for the first time eight weeks ago is the group

has not been long together. That it is seven months since two people

died here. You are saying it only met eight weeks ago? That's in

response to the National strategy drowning. Julie's Sun and because's

older brother Samuel survived, last August, other people in the water

survived, frenetic efforts were made to try to save this family. Thank

you very much. A widower campaigning to raise

public awareness of the condition sepsis following the death

of his wife says he's "astonished" that some Scottish health boards

are wary in case it cases "alarm". BBC Scotland can reveal one NHS

board is warning it could increase "unnecessary" attendance

at GP surgeries. Sepsis kills around 44,000 people

every year in the UK. Sepsis is a hidden killer

responsible for more deaths than lung cancer or breast, bowel and

prostate cancer combined. Hard-hitting video about a

potentially lethal conditions, and awareness of symptoms save lives but

some health. Want us to have more information. Liz Robertson is a

victim of sepsis, she died in hospital last year, her husband

believes she could be still alive if she had been diagnosed sooner. It

still haunts me greatly because in the last week I would say of loses

life, she was nauseous, delirious, constantly vomiting, she did not

know where she lived. This doctor is one of Scotland's leading experts in

sepsis, treats patients every day for sepsis and nose increased

awareness can mean the difference between life and death. I would

support an awareness campaign. We've been working with health care

professionals but we need you to help us. For every hour's delay in

antibiotics the risk increases by 8% so if we can get people in the

community to the hospital is quicker that will surely make a difference.

Somehow boards like NHS Grampian would welcome a national campaign

raising awareness of sepsis among the public, they say. All actively

work to raise awareness of sepsis that some health boards are wary.

NHS Dumfries and Galloway said a public campaign specifically about

sepsis may cause alarm and increase and necessary attendance at GP

practices or A E departments. NHS Forth Valley said it is necessary to

consider the unintended consequences of inappropriately increasing public

awareness. See the expression on her face? Jim focuses on the good

memories and the hope that speaking about his loss may stop others dying

from sepsis. Greater awareness to the public would be a very, very

good legacy. Fiona Stalker, Reporting Scotland.

A legal battle between a grandmother and the Aberdeenshire golf resort

owned by President Trump is under way at the small claims

It's an unlikely case, being brought by the woman

after she was filmed by Menie Golf Resort staff doing

She says that filming was a breach of data protection law.

Rohan Beyts, left, arrives at court, one woman taking on a large company,

making a claim against Donald Trump's International golf club in

Scotland. This is her at home, she told the court she likes to take

long walks, on April 11 last year she went for a walk on me Menie

estate. She passed the golf course, where she was on the beach she

realised she needed the toilet urgently. She said she went into the

sand dunes where she thought no one could see her and she said she

followed 90 laying Scotland guidelines on what to do if you need

to go outdoors. -- mountaineering Scotland. Three days later there was

a knock at the door and police charged with you relating in a

public place in a manner which would have caused or was likely to have

caused annoyance. She said that she was shocked to think that she was in

the view of everyone. Police later said that three men, two of whom

were employed by the development, had secretly filmed her. She said

she knew she hadn't done anything wrong and the Procurator Fiscal took

no action. But, upset, she took out a claim instead. Felt that people

should not be filmed when they are out in the country doing something

that... I was not doing anything wrong. It is something that many

walkers, many climbers, people who access the outdoors do. It is a fact

of life, there are not toilets out there. At the time Trump

International wasn't licensed to hold such data, in view of strict

data legislation laws, Rohan Beyts said she made this a good of the

fact that he opposed the development from the early stages and was

involved in a Facebook page, Tripping up Trump. The lawyer for

the organisation said that from her posts she didn't appear distressed.

She continues to challenge the claims. The case will be heard again

tomorrow. The largest North Sea pipeline -

which delivers more than 40% of Britain's oil and gas -

is to be bought by the Grangemouth What's it like going

into a black hole in space? We have the answer to that and other

mind-boggling scientific questions. We all dream of a peaceful

retirement with Frank Meehan is 93 and enjoys his

days in Helensburgh. But as a BBC Scotland documentary

to be shown this evening reveals, the work he looks back put him

at the centre of 20th Frank seems much like any other

pensioner. But in fact, this modest man was a key player in some of the

most erratic moments of the Cold War. His parents were from

Clydebank, where Frank was born in 1924 in America and spent the first

nine years of his life there, before moving back to Scotland. At the end

of the war he was conscripted into the U.S. Army. On a whim, he applied

to join the diplomatic service. I read in the army newspaper, stars

and stripes, that you could get a free day pass to take the

examination. The three-day pass was something that any GI would look at

carefully. I went to do the written exam. I did not do terribly well in

it. I managed to scrape through, enough to be eligible to take the

oral examination. I did a bit better, I think. I'm an early

highlight of Frank's was his part in the Gary Power spy swap drama. An

American plane was shot down over Soviet territory. It leads to an

admission that the US has been conducting reconnaissance flights

over the Soviet Union biplanes like this one. Frank was sent through

checkpoint Charlie into East Berlin. this one. Frank was sent through

You were a young diplomat and you were at the epicentre of the global

Cold War which could have exploded at any moment into a third World

War. Did you feel the burden on your shoulders? I do not remember it that

way. There were tense moments, obviously. I didn't know when I was

working, I did not know how he would be. Would he be well and would I get

him? Would I be able to get out myself? It was all such touchy

stuff. Frank would rise to become US ambassador in Czechoslovakia, Poland

and then East Germany. He served right through the Cold War and nine

US presidents. Why did you decide to settle in retirement in Scotland and

not go back to the United States? That is fairly easy. My wife wanted

to come here. I felt I owed it to her a bit. I dragged her around

Eastern Europe all her married life. When we came here it was our 23rd

full move in our married life. When you have asked a wife to do that, I

think you do owe her something. One of the key elements of the UK

leaving the European Union is uncertainty over the rights

of people from the EU Facing concern over their future,

some are applying for We've been following the story

of one such woman who's been This woman arrived in the Highlands

from Poland on a six-month working holiday. 13 years on she's still

from Poland on a six-month working here and is well-known in Inverness

is a popular trader in the cityVictorian market. However you?

Good, thank you. Living and working here for over a decade was not

enough to give her the right to vote in last year's EU referendum. I

disagree with that. I have decided to live in this country make this

country might own. Only because I don't have a British passport I'm

not able to make any decisions for the future of myself and my family.

With the referendum outcome casting a shadow, the owner of the shop is

taking matters into her own hands but she is in the process of

applying to become a British citizen. She is furiously revising

for two upcoming citizenship tests. Sometimes it is very entertaining

and sometimes quite scary. You do have very common questions about

what do British people eat for Christmas? When you have questions

like, what is the population of Muslim people in Britain? And you

are thinking, how many British people know that? To make that very

point she has been putting British citizens to the test. So, the

question is, what is the correct order of the patron Saints days? And

you have three options. Whenever you feel free, press the button. Failed.

Apparently. Who'd have thought it? You to wonder whether it will help

in everyday life in Britain to know when Saint Patrick's Day is. OK.

I've read it? A very impressive hillfort can still be seen today at

Maidenhead Castle. What English county does it standing? Up Dawson.

I was going to say Cornwall. Wrong. Not relevant to becoming a citizen,

I don't think. She has travelled from Inverness to Glasgow, taking a

I don't think. She has travelled major step on the road to becoming a

British passport holder. She re-emerges to hours later after

sitting compulsory tests in English and UK general knowledge. At the

end, they tell you if you have passed or not. I did pass both of

them. There is much believe she is now on course to apply for a British

passport. But the Polish immigrant will be required to swear an oath of

allegiance to Queen and country to citizenship ceremony before finally

adopting Scotland as her legitimate home. I will be really very glad to

be able to vote in an election and to make a difference in this

country, since I have been living there for such a time.

Brendan Rodgers has assured Celtic fans he is staying at the club.

If you are happy and you know it, raised the flag. At the Celtic

training ground today it was pretty much a league title loving. They

have good reason to celebrate. This was empowering their way past heart

yesterday. It was never really in doubt. Like so often this season

they put on a show to go with the victory. The architect of the club's

they put on a show to go with the since the sex was once again the

focus of today's back pages. -- success. The man who has been now is

not interested for now. 18 months after the Liverpool job, I was

sacked. Now I am very happy and content. I'm in my dream job. That

is the reality of it. The other reality is his players are on course

for a treble and a possible season unbeaten. I know you do not like to

talk about it but there must be something you focus on in that

dressing room. It is the history that people talk about for years and

years. To get the squad to do that, I believe we have the potential. We

just need to keep working hard, as I have said. Something this man

demands. But they know when they do they get the rewards.

What's it like going into a black hole?

The Edinburgh science Festival is aiming to do this and more.

Is it art or is it science question at scientists used lasers to

simulate lack holes in the laboratory. This artist was working

alongside them. The whole version are making light travel slower than

the speed of light then making it vanished down a cosmic plughole. I

spend most of my residency probably looking like I was doing nothing. I

chose to sit in the laboratory corridor, which was not very

comfortable. Every time someone was milling around, I would peer over

and ask questions. There is a tendency to think about art and

science as being separate. Here is a work of art that the base of the

laws of physics. After this exhibition is over it would be used

in a scientific experiment. Researchers will be using it to save

energy can be extracted from vortices like these. Elsewhere in

the exhibition Art inspired by research into the waters of

Scotland, including a coral reef in the Western Isles. The data and

information the scientists gather has a great beauty to it. It is very

tactile and sensory. It has been interesting for me talking them

about how we can represent that and asking interesting questions like,

if you were to walk along the sea bed at 600 metres depth of the

coast, what would it feel like and what would you see? The artist did

not just watch but worked with the scientists. The process involved a

lot of design, discussion, sketching ideas. Much like science. I don't

think it's that important that the public understand the details of

what we are doing in the lab but what is important is that the public

has a good time, enjoys themselves and see something new and learn

something new and gets excited about the science. More than a dozen

artists are taking part in the exhibition. It is at this venue

until mid-May to show that science is beautiful.

It has been a going downhill type of day for many of us with rain moving

in from the West. Blustery conditions for many. Particularly so

along the West Coast and across the Northern Isles. This evening and for

a time to write, further bands of rain coming in from the West,

crossing the country and eventually clearing away into the North Sea. In

the early hours, a lot of dry weather with showers moving in

across the North West and Northern Isles. Clear spells in the sheltered

east and a touch of ground frost. For the most part, temperatures

around two to five Celsius. Wins will be veering westerly overnight.

Tomorrow will start the day with a lot of dry weather. Plenty of

brightness and sunshine. A chilly start as well. As we go through the

day cloud will increase across many areas and we hold on to the showers

across the North. There will be fairly frequent showers and at times

heavy with hail and strong to gale force winds come tomorrow afternoon.

Across much of the mainland, a fairly cloudy prospects tomorrow

afternoon. The best of the brightness and sunshine will be in

this sheltered East. Temperatures will peak around 13 Celsius. The

showers continued to affect the Western Isles and the north-west

Highlands, accompanied by brisk, westerly winds. Tomorrow evening the

winds will strengthen further across the Northern Isles. Gusts up to 65

miles an hour and the showers will continue to affect the North also

goes into Wednesday's high-pressure building in from the south of the

back of things to come with more settled weather coming our way for

the second half of the week. On Wednesday we will see a few showers

across western areas at least in the morning. The best of the brightness

and the sunshine will be in the east with highs of 13 Celsius. Thursday

looks mostly dry. The best of the brightness will be in the East.

Frank Meehan is 93 and enjoying his retirement in Helensburgh,
