:00:00. > :00:12.The families of the two Scots couples killed in the Tunisia terror

:00:13. > :00:15.attacks last June have been speaking of the devastating

:00:16. > :00:20.Today the coroner delivered his conclusion at the inquest.

:00:21. > :00:23.He found that all 30 Britons were unlawfully killed.

:00:24. > :00:30.Cameron Buttle was at that hearing for us and sent this report.

:00:31. > :00:37.It was a holiday the celebrate the beginning of a retirement they'd

:00:38. > :00:42.both worked so hard for. Anne and Jim from Cumbernauld were in their

:00:43. > :00:57.60s. As they enjoyed their holiday, a terrorist cell was watching their

:00:58. > :01:10.hotel. It was seen as a soft target for

:01:11. > :01:17.. Jim died on the way to hospital after waiting 20 minutes with a

:01:18. > :01:23.gunshot wound to his pelvis. Their family watched the final day of the

:01:24. > :01:27.invest via video link. Three weeks before Jim and Anne were killed, my

:01:28. > :01:36.wife and I retired and we had a party. And that was the last time

:01:37. > :01:43.the whole family were together. Unfortunately, in the aftermath of

:01:44. > :01:49.what happened in Tunisia, we lost another sister-in-law who died three

:01:50. > :01:53.weeks after the incident. So the whole family's been in shock really

:01:54. > :01:56.for the past year-and-a-half. Lisa and Billy Graham were celebrating

:01:57. > :02:01.their wedding anniversary at the resort. The couple from Perthshire

:02:02. > :02:05.ran into the hotel to get away from the gunman but, as this hotel CCTV

:02:06. > :02:07.shows, the gunman followed them upstairs. He caught them on the

:02:08. > :02:11.first floor and shot them both once upstairs. He caught them on the

:02:12. > :02:16.in the chest. They died in the corridor. Today at the inquest, the

:02:17. > :02:19.judge was highly critical of the Tunisian Security Forces, saying

:02:20. > :02:25.there were only three unarmed guards on duty at the hotel when the

:02:26. > :02:30.shooting started and two of them ran away and one hid. He said the police

:02:31. > :02:35.response was at best shambolic, at worst cowardly. He said there was a

:02:36. > :02:38.specialist response unit nearby minutes away but it returned to base

:02:39. > :02:47.to get more weapons. The judge said, this was a deliberate and

:02:48. > :02:50.unjustifiable delay. Security Forces eventually cornered the gunman

:02:51. > :02:57.outside the hotel and gunned him down. He'd been shot 20 times. I

:02:58. > :03:01.don't think there'll be any total closure on it until such time as we

:03:02. > :03:07.hear what recommendations are going to be made by the coroner. I think

:03:08. > :03:11.that'll probably help us then. The judge said that there were

:03:12. > :03:14.endless what ifs, what if there were more guards, more security cameras,

:03:15. > :03:21.better travel advice. But ultimately, he said it was a sudden

:03:22. > :03:25.and unexpected attack, and it would have made little difference.

:03:26. > :03:28.There are calls for the Scottish Government to curb alcohol

:03:29. > :03:30.advertising in a bid to protect children.

:03:31. > :03:33.Alcohol Focus Scotland said there was clear evidence that

:03:34. > :03:36.exposure to alcohol marketing through sports sponsorship

:03:37. > :03:39.and public adverts led children to start drinking at a younger age.

:03:40. > :03:56.Alcohol marketing is all around us. We often see it in sports like rugby

:03:57. > :04:01.and football. And Scotland's best-known music festival is named

:04:02. > :04:05.after the brewer which sponsors it. Now the charity, alcohol Focus

:04:06. > :04:12.Scotland, says this kind of marketing is enticing children to

:04:13. > :04:19.drink at an earlier age. But does the man in charge of Tea in the Park

:04:20. > :04:25.think this is the problem. I don't think alcohol sponsorship per se is

:04:26. > :04:32.an issue in itself. I think people's approaches to alcohol is where the

:04:33. > :04:37.problems are, the cheap availability of alcohol is a real problem. So was

:04:38. > :04:40.there enough evidence to link advertising to consumption? If

:04:41. > :04:44.children are exposed to it and you can measure that by just simply

:04:45. > :04:47.asking them what they've seen and you can see that a 13-year-old who

:04:48. > :04:55.has seen a lot of alcohol marketing is more likely to drink, not just

:04:56. > :05:00.then but you go back to them a year or two later. Tobacco advertising

:05:01. > :05:03.has been banned since 2002. The authors of the report says that

:05:04. > :05:06.played a huge part in the nation's health and they want similar

:05:07. > :05:10.restrictions for alcohol. But would that make a difference to young

:05:11. > :05:15.people today? There should be a cutdown on how much is shown on TV

:05:16. > :05:20.and bill boards and stuff because young people who maybe don't have an

:05:21. > :05:23.understanding of the effects of alcohol will see vodka adverts and

:05:24. > :05:30.understand it's not a really strong spirit. I drink for pleasure with

:05:31. > :05:34.friends and I see more marketing against alcohol than I do for

:05:35. > :05:37.alcohol. The Scottish Government wants to tackle problem drinking

:05:38. > :05:41.through minimum alcohol pricing but that policy's been delayed because

:05:42. > :05:44.of legal action. Ministers say they'll study today's report while

:05:45. > :05:46.continuing to press the UK Government which has responsibility

:05:47. > :05:49.for broadcast advertising. The first minister, Nicola Sturgeon,

:05:50. > :05:53.is accusing the Conservatives of attempting to use Brexit

:05:54. > :05:55.to unpick the powers Her political rivals say she's

:05:56. > :06:00.scaremongering to boost the case Our political correspondent

:06:01. > :06:14.Glenn Campbell reports. It's no surprise that Nicola

:06:15. > :06:16.Sturgeon believes the UK system doesn't serve the Scottish

:06:17. > :06:22.Government well, Mo surprise she sees the Brexit vote where Scotland

:06:23. > :06:26.voted one way and the UK as a whole voted the other as an illustration

:06:27. > :06:29.of that. This evening, she's not jumped the rhetoric a little,

:06:30. > :06:37.accusing some Conservatives of trying to use Brexit to

:06:38. > :06:42.fundamentally undermine the existing devolution settlement. The promises

:06:43. > :06:47.the leave campaign made in the EU referendum that a Brexit vote would

:06:48. > :06:51.almost see swathes of new powers repatriated from Brussels to

:06:52. > :06:55.Holyrood, there is not yet any real guarantee that the Scottish

:06:56. > :06:59.Parliament and other devolved administrations won't in fact be

:07:00. > :07:04.stripped of some of our existing powers. In my view, and it's a very

:07:05. > :07:09.strong view, the post-Brexit landscape, would and should demand a

:07:10. > :07:14.rebalancing of powers across the UK. I think she's particularly worried

:07:15. > :07:18.that fishing and farming powers could be eroded, rather than

:07:19. > :07:22.enHaned. But her political opponents have hit back. Labour say she's

:07:23. > :07:27.scaremongering. The Conservatives say this is synthetic grievance,

:07:28. > :07:30.more about making the case for another independence referendum. The

:07:31. > :07:33.UK Government say they've made clear that they don't intend to take any

:07:34. > :07:39.powers back from the Scottish Parliament and that they will use

:07:40. > :07:41.the Brexit process to look for ways of giving devolved Members of

:07:42. > :07:45.Parliament and assemblies more power.

:07:46. > :07:49.MSPs have been told compensation for survivors of childhood abuse

:07:50. > :07:52.in Scotland, could reach at least ?200 million.

:07:53. > :07:55.Holyrood's Justice Committee has been taking evidence on a government

:07:56. > :07:57.Bill to allow victims of abuse, to claim compensation beyond

:07:58. > :08:08.Here's our Home affairs correspondent, Reevel Alderson.

:08:09. > :08:14.Charities say few child victims of sexual abuse report the offence

:08:15. > :08:17.within eight years, but the law allows victims three years to sue

:08:18. > :08:21.their abuser, that's why the Government wants to extend the

:08:22. > :08:26.so-called time bar back to 1964. How much will the cost of compensation

:08:27. > :08:29.be? A small inquiry into institutional child abuse in Jersey

:08:30. > :08:36.may give a guide, the committee was told. You have an average cost of

:08:37. > :08:40.around ?40,000 and in Scotland that would involve about ?200 million if

:08:41. > :08:45.we had the same kind of numbers which would be around 5,000 in

:08:46. > :08:51.Scotland. So the scale of this, even at its potentially lowest level is

:08:52. > :08:55.highly significant. The Government estimated its Bill would result in

:08:56. > :08:59.2,200 court actions. Police say records they've examined of just one

:09:00. > :09:04.former force, Strathclyde, going back just 17 years, suggests that's

:09:05. > :09:12.a serious underestimate. We've found or we have catalogued for those

:09:13. > :09:21.specific types of terms of reference just less than 2,300 files. That

:09:22. > :09:25.said, we have 4,400 victims. MSPs wanted to know who'd pay the cost of

:09:26. > :09:28.legal actions which could affect the services voluntary groups and

:09:29. > :09:33.services provide. Would the Government step in? It should be

:09:34. > :09:36.adequately resourced and if local authorities cannot meet those

:09:37. > :09:41.resources, absolutely there should be extra funds available to cover

:09:42. > :09:44.that and it may well be circumstances in which local

:09:45. > :09:50.authorities didn't have insurance and then you get significant amounts

:09:51. > :09:54.of claims coming in. So that will be of serious and significant impact to

:09:55. > :09:59.local authorities, yes. The Government said it's consulting on

:10:00. > :10:05.the issue of financial redress, but it added: All bodies who have

:10:06. > :10:07.liability are required in law to meet that.

:10:08. > :10:10.Police searching for a missing teenage girl from North Ayshire

:10:11. > :10:13.believe she may have travelled to England to meet with

:10:14. > :10:18.16-year-old Abbey Lewis was last seen late on Sunday evening

:10:19. > :10:24.She was heading towards the train station.

:10:25. > :10:27.It is thought Abbey may be trying to get to the Birmingham area

:10:28. > :10:29.to meet someone she met on the internet.

:10:30. > :10:31.Police investigating the rape of a woman in a Renfrewshire

:10:32. > :10:34.village, revisited the scene of the attack last night and spoke

:10:35. > :10:38.The woman was attacked behind the Wallace Primary School

:10:39. > :10:44.Officers want to find a man who is described as white

:10:45. > :10:49.Local residents are also being asked to check their gardens and bins

:10:50. > :10:52.for any unfamiliar items of discarded clothing.

:10:53. > :10:56.Football; Hamilton beat Aberdeen 1-0 in the Scottish Premiership tonight.

:10:57. > :11:05.The home side scored in the ninth minute through Mikey Devlin and held

:11:06. > :11:07.The result moves Hamilton off the bottom of the table

:11:08. > :11:16.Now it's over to Kirsteen with the weather.

:11:17. > :11:22.Thank you very much. Good evening to you. Tomorrow marks the beginning of

:11:23. > :11:26.the meteorological spring. However, we still have some wintry conditions

:11:27. > :11:31.in the forecast over the next couple of days. Certainly tonight, wintry

:11:32. > :11:35.showers continuing in the north, given some slight accumulations of

:11:36. > :11:39.snow to low levels, especially across inland areas. Otherwise dry

:11:40. > :11:44.with a widespread frost and a risk of ice on any untreated roads and

:11:45. > :11:49.surfaces as skies clear at times in the north and temperatures fall to

:11:50. > :11:52.around freezing if not just below. That's continues into tomorrow

:11:53. > :11:56.morning. Around 8 o'clock, perhaps cloudier

:11:57. > :12:01.skies across the far south-west at times with one or two showers

:12:02. > :12:06.affecting these areas. For the most part of southern, central and

:12:07. > :12:11.eastern Scotland, it's a dry, cold, frosty start with plenty of sunshine

:12:12. > :12:14.developing. A few showers remain in the Western Isles, the north-west

:12:15. > :12:18.Highlands and in towards the Northern Isles, again wintry in

:12:19. > :12:21.nature. As we go through the day, they'll become fewer and further

:12:22. > :12:29.between and generally the snow level will be across the mountains, hills

:12:30. > :12:34.and highest levels. Lower ground it will be sleet. A lot of dry weather

:12:35. > :12:37.in the day with some sunshine. A chilly feel, however, across the

:12:38. > :12:40.north. For the rest of the UK, after a dry, bright start, the rain

:12:41. > :12:45.continues to push in during the afternoon. As it tracks north-east

:12:46. > :12:50.during tomorrow evening, it may begin to fall as snow over the hills

:12:51. > :12:55.and high ground and, all the while, winds strengthening across the far

:12:56. > :12:58.south-west, gale force gusts, so all in all perhaps some tricky Driving

:12:59. > :13:05.conditions here into tomorrow evening. Wintry showers again across

:13:06. > :13:08.the north of Scotland for a time. Generally they'll become fewer and

:13:09. > :13:14.lighter during the day. A bright and breezy day to come for many of us,

:13:15. > :13:17.plenty of sunshine around. Some rain arriving into the south-west later

:13:18. > :13:24.and temperatures ranging from around six to 11. That's the forecast.

:13:25. > :13:30.Thank you. That is Reporting Scotland. The next update is at

:13:31. > :13:40.Breakfast at 6. 25 in the morning. From the late team,

:13:41. > :13:41.It's like bake a cake, but we flipped it.

:13:42. > :13:45.Oh, my God, we love flipping. Cake-a-bake. Cake-a-baking.

:13:46. > :13:48.I love it. I so love it when this happens.
