:00:00. > :00:08.Here on BBC One it's time for the news where you are.
:00:09. > :00:11.A critical report into the state of Scotland's roads has found them
:00:12. > :00:16.Audit Scotland said spending by local authorities and government
:00:17. > :00:19.on maintenance was down and 57% of users were unhappy
:00:20. > :00:29.Every single road, there are potholes.
:00:30. > :00:33.June has been a career in Edinburgh for 32 years.
:00:34. > :00:37.It's not very good coming onto this road in the morning after you have
:00:38. > :00:45.With a fleet of vans, motorcycles and bicycles,
:00:46. > :00:53.I have had crystal, bottles, and every road, you are petrified
:00:54. > :00:58.in case something gets broken or the samples leak.
:00:59. > :01:02.Today's report shows over a third of council roads need repairs,
:01:03. > :01:16.with trunk roads and motorways also deteriorating.
:01:17. > :01:21.It is a huge issue of concern to the public.
:01:22. > :01:23.57% of the public in the Scottish household survey indicated
:01:24. > :01:25.dissatisfaction with the state of the roads.
:01:26. > :01:27.The local authority organisation say they are doing well,
:01:28. > :01:39.The state of the roads is a priority for us.
:01:40. > :01:41.We have invested ?6.5 billion which we had not
:01:42. > :01:45.We are investing in major infrastructure projects.
:01:46. > :02:02.Where the report says we can do more, we will look to do that.
:02:03. > :02:16.But this is where the cost of poorer repair it. A dozen coil springs. It
:02:17. > :02:20.is very common. Scotland has the highest proportion of pothole
:02:21. > :02:24.related breakdowns in the UK. This is the third critical report and it
:02:25. > :02:27.appears money will have to be found to keep them satisfied.
:02:28. > :02:30.The government says there's no public health risk to Scotland
:02:31. > :02:34.It follows the news that a small number of people have been diagnosed
:02:35. > :02:39.More than 50 people across the UK have been treated for the infection,
:02:40. > :02:44.which is associated with severe birth defects in babies.
:02:45. > :02:48.There is no health risk to the general public.
:02:49. > :02:55.The virus is transmitted by a mosquito and there are no
:02:56. > :02:57.mosquitoes in Scotland, because our climate is too cold.
:02:58. > :02:59.There is a very small risk of sexual transmission,
:03:00. > :03:02.and people who have been infected are advised very carefully
:03:03. > :03:08.about how to minimise transmission to sexual partners.
:03:09. > :03:09.One of the world's leading infectious disease researchers
:03:10. > :03:12.at the forefront of of the global battle against the Zika virus
:03:13. > :03:15.is Airdrie-born Dr Mario Stevenson, who now lives in Miami.
:03:16. > :03:17.Earlier, I asked him if there was a danger the world
:03:18. > :03:32.We want to put the risks in perspective. It is up to scientists
:03:33. > :03:36.and public health officials to be responsible and not exaggerate the
:03:37. > :03:40.situation and frighten the population but at the same time I
:03:41. > :03:46.keep repeating myself. We hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
:03:47. > :03:51.Six months ago, Governor Scott of Florida declared the state of
:03:52. > :03:54.emergency there. People thought that was an overreaction to the
:03:55. > :04:00.possibility that Zika could spread in Florida are now we have 14 cases
:04:01. > :04:07.of local infection, individuals who contracted the virus in Florida, in
:04:08. > :04:16.Miami actually. That was the right message. My fear is we want to hit
:04:17. > :04:24.that sweet spot of being cautious but not over the fear of Zika
:04:25. > :04:29.infection. It is serious for pregnant women but everybody else?
:04:30. > :04:32.For most people, four out of five individuals, you would not know you
:04:33. > :04:39.were infected, there are no symptoms. There is no risk to the
:04:40. > :04:40.general public but the situation is grey for a pregnant woman and that
:04:41. > :04:43.cannot be overstated. At least one Scot has been caught up
:04:44. > :04:46.in an attack on foreign tourists They were among 12 travellers
:04:47. > :04:50.ambushed while on their way Six were injured as well
:04:51. > :04:53.as an Afghan driver. The aftermath of a brutal attack
:04:54. > :04:58.in Herat province in the north-west The targets - an international group
:04:59. > :05:02.of travellers who had chosen to go One news agency reports a spokesman
:05:03. > :05:25.for the local Governor saying: 12 Among the 12, there were
:05:26. > :05:30.Americans, British, a Scot. And now I have got a picture
:05:31. > :05:33.from the scene from When you see this picture,
:05:34. > :05:37.the minibus is totally destroyed. They were very lucky
:05:38. > :05:40.to escape this attack. It is understood that the group had
:05:41. > :05:43.been in Darmian and may have been on their way to the city of Herat
:05:44. > :05:49.when they were attacked. It may seem unlikely,
:05:50. > :05:51.but search the internet and there are companies offering
:05:52. > :05:53.holidays in Afghanistan. This business, based in west
:05:54. > :05:56.Yorkshire, has a group in the area where the attack
:05:57. > :06:00.happened at the moment. I have been trying to contact
:06:01. > :06:03.them to get a comment. On their website, they say that some
:06:04. > :06:06.will regard it as premature to go to Afghanistan,
:06:07. > :06:09.given the continued conflict there and a lack of effective
:06:10. > :06:14.government control. But, they say, tourists
:06:15. > :06:16.going to Afghanistan and spending money there is a way of bringing
:06:17. > :06:21.direct benefit to local people, many of whom are still
:06:22. > :06:26.desperately poor. The Foreign Office has confirmed
:06:27. > :06:29.that it is providing assistance to British nationals involved
:06:30. > :06:32.in the attack in Herat, and is coordinating closely
:06:33. > :06:36.with local authorities. The hope is that tourism,
:06:37. > :06:40.money and jobs may freeze out the violence, but perhaps today's
:06:41. > :06:45.use shows that they react to that by proving that they can strike
:06:46. > :06:55.anywhere. Part of the island of Cumbrae
:06:56. > :06:58.in the Firth of Clyde has been cordoned off after what's thought
:06:59. > :07:02.to be a World War Two mine became The fishing vessel was taken
:07:03. > :07:06.to Stinking Bay to the north of the island, where it's understood
:07:07. > :07:08.to have released the device. A cordon has been placed around
:07:09. > :07:12.the area by local coastguards. A Royal Navy bomb disposal unit has
:07:13. > :07:15.been sent to investigate the device That's how the makers of the global
:07:16. > :07:23.gaming craze Pokemon Go are being described after they sited
:07:24. > :07:27.an animated character on a memorial to offshore workers who died
:07:28. > :07:31.in the North Sea's worst disaster. The group who maintain
:07:32. > :07:34.the Piper Alpha statue and garden Pokemon, a virtual game,
:07:35. > :07:44.the aim to capture animated characters that pop up
:07:45. > :07:46.on your smartphone Just grew up playing the games,
:07:47. > :07:52.and I have gone back It's really fun, and it makes
:07:53. > :07:58.you get out and about. Pokemon and his friends are popping
:07:59. > :08:01.up all over the place, I suppose it's the future,
:08:02. > :08:11.but as far as I am concerned, 167 men died in the Piper Alpha
:08:12. > :08:18.disaster in 1988. This memorial was created
:08:19. > :08:21.for their loved ones. For the families, their friends
:08:22. > :08:25.and people associated with Aberdeen, this is a place
:08:26. > :08:31.of reflection and remembrance. The last thing that everybody wants
:08:32. > :08:34.connected to this monument is to have hordes of people
:08:35. > :08:41.basically fussing around the site, looking for these virtual
:08:42. > :08:44.Pokemon characters. A crazy idea that people who come
:08:45. > :08:54.here to look for a Pokemon And it's not just there that
:08:55. > :09:09.the game has been causing distress. Nearby, this baby's memorial garden
:09:10. > :09:12.has also had a Pokemon character. The charity has been in contact
:09:13. > :09:14.with the game makers, Game makers Nintendo have also had
:09:15. > :09:20.requests to remove Pokemon characters from the Hiroshima peace
:09:21. > :09:24.Memorial Park and Auschwitz. Sport now and Andy Murray admitted
:09:25. > :09:34.he was speechless when he was asked to be Team GB's flag-bearer
:09:35. > :09:36.for tomorrow's Olympics He's also found out whom he'll face
:09:37. > :09:53.as he starts the defence This is the tennis arena where Andy
:09:54. > :09:56.Murray will play in the singles and's doubles. He has been speaking
:09:57. > :10:02.about that today and speaking about the fact he has been named the Team
:10:03. > :10:05.GB flag bearer. He said he has already had a wee practice are
:10:06. > :10:16.carrying the flag but admits it did not go according to plan. I was
:10:17. > :10:21.given directions and then ended up putting the flag in front of
:10:22. > :10:31.Princess Anne's face. I did not know what to do, to be honest. I think
:10:32. > :10:36.she said, make sure you don't put my eye out. I will try to get practice
:10:37. > :10:39.in before tomorrow night. A significant day for Andy Murray and
:10:40. > :10:46.today, you found out he we will play in the first round of the singles.
:10:47. > :10:49.He is playing with Jamie Murray in the doubles and they will take on a
:10:50. > :10:52.Brazilian pair. Aberdeen are out of the Europa
:10:53. > :10:55.League after an own goal in stoppage time saw them go down
:10:56. > :10:57.1-0 to Maribor. That was enough to see Maribor
:10:58. > :11:01.progress 2-1 on aggregate. An elderly man has been rescued
:11:02. > :11:04.by firefighters after becoming stranded on an island
:11:05. > :11:08.in the River Don at Inverurie. He was walking his dogs at the time
:11:09. > :11:12.and they were also taken to safety. A specialist fire service water
:11:13. > :11:14.rescue team was deployed to bring all involved
:11:15. > :11:20.to back to the riverside. Let's get the weekend weather
:11:21. > :11:32.outlook now from Kawser. Many of us ended the day with fine
:11:33. > :11:40.spells of late sunshine. A lovely pictures sent in. This from a lane.
:11:41. > :11:44.A lovely sunset here. It will be largely dry with any showers dying
:11:45. > :11:47.away. While it is rather cloudy, there will be clear spells
:11:48. > :11:53.developing. Mainly across central and western parts of the country.
:11:54. > :11:59.The winds falling light as well and temperatures dipping to 8-12d. Under
:12:00. > :12:03.those clearer skies, may down to single figures so quite cool
:12:04. > :12:07.tonight. Tomorrow, bright start of the day with spells of sunshine. If
:12:08. > :12:12.you are heading out around ATM, there will be a good deal of dry and
:12:13. > :12:16.bright with Iran. While in the way of cloud along the West Coast.
:12:17. > :12:23.Temperatures drop -- 14 degrees and along the east coast more in the way
:12:24. > :12:27.of cloud. One or two showers for the northern and western isles but the
:12:28. > :12:33.winds generally light and temperatures 11-12d. If we take a
:12:34. > :12:36.wider look at the rest of the UK, you can start to see cloud
:12:37. > :12:39.thickening across Northern Ireland, western Scotland and scattered
:12:40. > :12:44.showers arriving here is we had today. Elsewhere across the UK
:12:45. > :12:48.though, largely fine and dry with its positive sunshine. I pressure
:12:49. > :12:53.dominates our weather for tomorrow. Temperatures in the high teens,
:12:54. > :12:57.maybe the low 20s and the south-east of England. This feature will play
:12:58. > :13:06.away from Friday night. Clear spells, and other cool night, but an
:13:07. > :13:08.area of low pressure heads towards us. This is something we're likely
:13:09. > :13:13.to see in autumn not summer, but as we had through the weekend, dry and
:13:14. > :13:17.bright start, but further towards western parts of Scotland, outbreaks
:13:18. > :13:22.of rain and strengthening winds. Temperatures though still in the low
:13:23. > :13:25.20s further south. A Met Office early weather warning is in force
:13:26. > :13:28.for the strength of the winds, especially on Sunday.
