:00:12. > :00:14.and for household bills - are rising.

:00:15. > :00:16.Official inflation data almost doubled last month and it's widely

:00:17. > :00:18.expected this could be the start of a new bout

:00:19. > :00:22.One of the main factors driving this up are fuel prices.

:00:23. > :00:31.Here's our Business and Economy Editor Douglas Fraser.

:00:32. > :00:35.Inflation had risen to 0.6% to August, and it was expected

:00:36. > :00:45.to rise, but it was up 1% in September against a basket

:00:46. > :00:48.to rise, but it was up 1% in September across a basket

:00:49. > :00:51.One of the reasons was the increase in fuel costs.

:00:52. > :00:53.Petrol and diesel have been rising steeply

:00:54. > :00:56.and they are expected to continue rising in the weeks to come.

:00:57. > :00:58.They have been hit by a double whammy.

:00:59. > :01:01.Brent crude, is the benchmark price and that has been rising

:01:02. > :01:05.and in January it hit a low point of $30 but now it is over $50.

:01:06. > :01:08.The pound since the European Union referendum, it has dropped in value,

:01:09. > :01:10.so anything which is valued in foreign currency including oil,

:01:11. > :01:20.That is driving costs up right across the economy.

:01:21. > :01:22.Inflation is measured with a shopping basket of more

:01:23. > :01:24.than 700 everyday items in the household budget

:01:25. > :01:27.and many of them will be affected by the same thing.

:01:28. > :01:34.decided to leave the European Union our currency sterling has declined

:01:35. > :01:36.in value, down about 18% against the dollar and the euro

:01:37. > :01:44.The price of importing raw materials is up.

:01:45. > :01:45.Two more items rising fast, clothing and hotel

:01:46. > :01:52.But there are exceptions - competition remains fierce

:01:53. > :01:56.in the supermarkets keeping prices down, and that means food prices

:01:57. > :02:02.continue to fall in September, but don't expect that to last.

:02:03. > :02:05.The price inflation basket is a very large one but it is not big enough

:02:06. > :02:09.to include housing costs, and we also get figures on them.

:02:10. > :02:13.The average home in August sold for 4.3% more than last year,

:02:14. > :02:16.nothing like the price rises seen in England, partly because of

:02:17. > :02:21.The oil sector has stalled and city prices have plunged 18%

:02:22. > :02:30.Home-buyers and consumers are looking for confidence,

:02:31. > :02:33.but they are facing uncertainty and that is with

:02:34. > :02:40.We can put up with inflation, as long as we can expect

:02:41. > :02:42.to see incomes rising, but is it rising, will it rise

:02:43. > :02:50.We will find out more when we get wider figures about the labour

:02:51. > :02:55.Ukip's David Coburn says he's considering running to become the UK

:02:56. > :03:00.leader of his party - if he's asked by colleagues.

:03:01. > :03:02.There's a leadership vacuum in Ukip, which has had a torrid time

:03:03. > :03:07.But, the party's former Scottish chairman says he laughed

:03:08. > :03:09.when he heard David Coburn - Scotland's only elected

:03:10. > :03:12.Ukip politician - was considering the move.

:03:13. > :03:18.Our political correspondent, Andrew Kerr has more.

:03:19. > :03:20.David Coburn was elected two years ago to serve

:03:21. > :03:31.Now his sights could be set on the top Ukip job.

:03:32. > :03:34.Nigel Farage's departure has left a power vacuum in the party,

:03:35. > :03:39.his successor Diane James was in post for just 18 days,

:03:40. > :03:40.as the leadership contest opens David Coburn has said

:03:41. > :03:46.Many people have suggested it, but I will wait

:03:47. > :03:52.It is more important to get someone we can unite around,

:03:53. > :03:55.that is the most important thing, but if nothing else I've got some

:03:56. > :03:59.experience in running Scotland so hopefully that would be helpful,

:04:00. > :04:04.but we have a lot of people, very talented in Ukip and we need

:04:05. > :04:16.to settle on somebody who will do a good job that we can agree with.

:04:17. > :04:18.But the MEP was shunned by the Scottish political

:04:19. > :04:23.There are wider problems for Ukip with the leading leadership

:04:24. > :04:24.contender having dropped out after an alleged

:04:25. > :04:32.You have elected politicians fighting each other where there

:04:33. > :04:34.is this hatred in some cases towards Nigel or anyone who is seen

:04:35. > :04:41.Some people called me his puppet, things like that.

:04:42. > :04:44.Whilst that is happening, they are letting down the members

:04:45. > :04:49.I do think at this stage Ukip is ungovernable.

:04:50. > :04:57.David Coburn doesn't recognise that portrayal.

:04:58. > :05:05.We are not easy to govern, why should we be?

:05:06. > :05:07.We are ordinary people, it is not like the smooth

:05:08. > :05:10.politicians who want to head for the House of Lords.

:05:11. > :05:12.But here in Scotland, for some people the prospect

:05:13. > :05:16.of David Coburn becoming Ukip's UK leader is a step too far.

:05:17. > :05:22.Ukip's former Scottish chairman fell out with the party,

:05:23. > :05:29.I laughed when I heard it and I phoned a few friends,

:05:30. > :05:32.former Ukip, who also had the same reaction, it is not funny,

:05:33. > :05:39.The idea that the man has any leadership qualities to lead a party

:05:40. > :05:47.If David Coburn decides to run he could be against these Ukip

:05:48. > :05:51.figures, Paul Nuttall, Suzanne Evans and Raheem Kassam.

:05:52. > :05:55.These people and the party have achieved what they set out to do,

:05:56. > :05:58.David Coburn might wonder about the leadership,

:05:59. > :06:06.while others wonder about the future direction of the party.

:06:07. > :06:08.There were numerous failings in the treatment and assessment

:06:09. > :06:11.of a mentally ill man who attacked his parents in Troon.

:06:12. > :06:14.Four years ago, Graeme Morris, who was living in Brighton

:06:15. > :06:16.at the time, travelled to Ayrshire where he killed his mother

:06:17. > :06:19.A new report criticises mental health services

:06:20. > :06:26.Ten patients of the Sussex Partnership Trust have killed

:06:27. > :06:30.Aileen Clarke has been looking into this Scottish case.

:06:31. > :06:33.In October 2012 Graeme Morris, who was 30 at the time.

:06:34. > :06:38.to his parents' home in Troon and he

:06:39. > :06:40.slapped and pushed his mother and beat up his father,

:06:41. > :06:53.He was diagnosed as a schizophrenic and pleaded guilty to culpable

:06:54. > :06:59.homicide and is being detained indefinitely.

:07:00. > :07:03.He had attacked his parents, such was his paranoia

:07:04. > :07:06.he believed his father had abused him and along with his mother

:07:07. > :07:13.This lengthy independent report into Graeme Morris's care

:07:14. > :07:17.in Brighton where he was living has found a number of failings

:07:18. > :07:21.and weaknesses in his treatment and assessments and a failure

:07:22. > :07:24.to involve either his family or a former partner,

:07:25. > :07:25.when assessing the risk he might pose.

:07:26. > :07:35.To discover, that he was using drugs, for example, and legal highs.

:07:36. > :07:40.Despite that the report concludes that Graeme Morris's violent attack

:07:41. > :07:43.on his parents was neither predictable or preventable.

:07:44. > :07:46.However the report notes that his family do not agree.

:07:47. > :07:55.They believe it could have been predicted and prevented.

:07:56. > :07:57.Today the chief executive of the Trust responsible

:07:58. > :07:59.for his care, gave this apology to his father.

:08:00. > :08:05.I apologise entirely, this is not something we wanted

:08:06. > :08:10.to happen and I can understand how devastating it is for him.

:08:11. > :08:13.There is nothing I can say that can bring his wife back.

:08:14. > :08:15.I would want to assure him that we are serious

:08:16. > :08:25.Cafes, shops and restaurants in Aberdeen have signed up

:08:26. > :08:27.to welcome women who want to breast-feed on their premises.

:08:28. > :08:29.Figures show almost half of new mums feel uncomfortable

:08:30. > :08:31.nursing their babies in front of others.

:08:32. > :08:35.It is still a fairly uncommon sight in public,

:08:36. > :08:40.but here in Aberdeen that could be about to change.

:08:41. > :08:52.Businesses are being recruited to display their breast-feeding

:08:53. > :08:55.I have gone to a few places myself where I've been desperate

:08:56. > :08:59.to breast-feed and to have a sign on the door to say that

:09:00. > :09:01.you are welcome is good and I will feel less uncomfortable.

:09:02. > :09:03.Still in this country compared to Sweden where I'm from,

:09:04. > :09:07.you rarely see people breast-feeding in public, and it is important that

:09:08. > :09:08.women who have just given birth have got

:09:09. > :09:10.the opportunity to go out and do

:09:11. > :09:13.what needs to be done and also have safe places to breast-feed,

:09:14. > :09:15.where we have facilities to change our babies

:09:16. > :09:26.This is one of more than 60 cafes, shops and restaurants

:09:27. > :09:29.in Aberdeen which have already signed up to the scheme,

:09:30. > :09:33.they will display a logo saying that breast-feeding is OK here,

:09:34. > :09:36.women can see it as a safe and secure environment for them

:09:37. > :09:44.The aim of the scheme is to reduce the stigma and to make it more

:09:45. > :09:48.It is a woman's right to be able to breast-feed in public

:09:49. > :09:52.but it is helping them to feel more comfortable to do that.

:09:53. > :09:56.This cafe is already a haven for breast-feeding mothers,

:09:57. > :10:03.We have had a great response, we have done this now for four years

:10:04. > :10:06.and there has been no negativity from any guests and we have

:10:07. > :10:09.been bold enough to say, use our units to breast-feed.

:10:10. > :10:13.Is this it scheme something older mothers approve of?

:10:14. > :10:16.Someone of my age, we didn't do it, but it is all changed

:10:17. > :10:21.When you were breast-feeding you would not have gone

:10:22. > :10:27.If it had been happening at the time, I would have done,

:10:28. > :10:33.but everything was hidden in those days.

:10:34. > :10:37.This is the logo to look out for, it is dotted around businesses

:10:38. > :10:39.in Aberdeen city centre but the scheme is already expanding

:10:40. > :10:41.into rural areas, another important step to a breast-feeding

:10:42. > :10:50.The number of people killed in fires in Scotland has gone up slightly.

:10:51. > :10:55.45 people died - that's up four on the previous

:10:56. > :10:56.12 months, according to the Scottish Fire

:10:57. > :11:01.More than half the number of call-outs were false

:11:02. > :11:17.Here is the weather. There is a lot of dry and settled

:11:18. > :11:23.weather in the forecast over the next few days and we need to look to

:11:24. > :11:29.the jet stream to understand. This steers weather systems across the

:11:30. > :11:32.Atlantic. Its shape is important. Developing into a horseshoe shape

:11:33. > :11:36.keeping the rain at bay and within the apex of that high-pressure sets.

:11:37. > :11:42.That will edge and sweet and over the next few days keeping as largely

:11:43. > :11:47.dry and settled. Some crisp autumnal sunshine. Tonight mostly dry. One or

:11:48. > :11:54.two showers. Still quite breezy. Nothing to call. Tomorrow morning a

:11:55. > :11:56.number of showers to start on the West Coast, through the Hebrides,

:11:57. > :12:03.but most of the mainland starting dry and bright. Temperatures there

:12:04. > :12:06.at eight in the morning. Showers in the Inverness area, far north-east,

:12:07. > :12:15.north-west and Northern Isles. I please from the north-west. Through

:12:16. > :12:19.their course of Wednesday showers in the West tend to fizzle and feed

:12:20. > :12:30.away. There will be some on the East coast. Elsewhere plenty of sunshine.

:12:31. > :12:34.Down the East coast from the Borders towards his anger and cant quite

:12:35. > :12:41.breezy with a number of showers elsewhere. Dry and bright. Light

:12:42. > :12:46.winds and sunshine, it should feel fairly decent. Into the evening

:12:47. > :12:51.showers across Eastern part of a country but more cloud and a call

:12:52. > :12:55.that night. Into Thursday, high-pressure still with us. Keeping

:12:56. > :12:59.that low pressure at bay and keeping their weather front in the Atlantic

:13:00. > :13:03.there. We start to see thickening cloud for the Western Isles but for

:13:04. > :13:05.most it is dry and bright and sunny. Temperatures similar. And to

:13:06. > :13:06.most it is dry and bright and sunny. little in the way of change. Might

:13:07. > :13:11.it not sunny spells. One or Our next update is during Breakfast

:13:12. > :13:19.at 6.25 tomorrow morning. But from everyone on the late team

:13:20. > :13:22.here in Glasgow and around the country, enjoy what's left

:13:23. > :13:35.of your Tuesday evening. It was the most beautiful view

:13:36. > :13:37.I've ever been through.
