:00:07. > :00:09.The Prime Minister has promised a new, more active Union,

:00:10. > :00:12.in an effort to strengthen the links between Scotland and England.

:00:13. > :00:14.At the Conservative conference in Glasgow, Theresa May warned

:00:15. > :00:17.against what she calls allowing the UK to "drift apart".

:00:18. > :00:19.The SNP say Conservative claims to be interested

:00:20. > :00:26.This from our political editor, Brian Taylor.

:00:27. > :00:28.They are Tory, Unionist, they don't need convincing.

:00:29. > :00:31.The Prime Minister knows that others do.

:00:32. > :00:36.She argued that Brexit made the unity of the UK more vital still.

:00:37. > :00:39.As Britain leaves the European Union and we forge a new place

:00:40. > :00:42.in the world, the strength and stability of our union

:00:43. > :01:00.She deplored a tendency for Whitehall to forget Scotland.

:01:01. > :01:04.She wanted a new, active Union, outside the EU.

:01:05. > :01:08.At all times, we will seek to strengthen and enhance the ties

:01:09. > :01:17.I am determined to ensure that as we leave the EU,

:01:18. > :01:21.we do so as one United Kingdom, which prospers outside the EU

:01:22. > :01:31.For farming and fishing, that might mean returning powers

:01:32. > :01:33.and subsidy from Brussels, only to create new common

:01:34. > :01:42.Still no word as to what the Prime Minister does if Nicola Sturgeon

:01:43. > :01:47.demands the power to hold another independence referendum.

:01:48. > :01:52.But it might go towards Scotland's interests if she does not,

:01:53. > :01:58.because if the SNP got another and lost, they can't have another.

:01:59. > :02:00.As the British Government, we should have a say

:02:01. > :02:05.on when the referendum is held and what the question might be.

:02:06. > :02:07.We do street stalls against a second referendum and people elbow

:02:08. > :02:14.each other out of the way to sign the petition.

:02:15. > :02:17.The Scottish Secretary appeals to the First Minister to ditch talks

:02:18. > :02:21.of a second referendum, but confirmed a possible process.

:02:22. > :02:24.If there is a request for an independence referendum,

:02:25. > :02:27.the process is the same as previously.

:02:28. > :02:31.There would have to be agreement between the governments.

:02:32. > :02:33.We have always been clear there could be another

:02:34. > :02:40.Our argument is that there should not be one.

:02:41. > :02:43.Back on stage, the final act was the Act of Union.

:02:44. > :02:47.We are four nations, but at heart we are one people.

:02:48. > :02:51.That solidarity is the essence of our United Kingdom

:02:52. > :02:55.and is the surest safeguard of its future.

:02:56. > :02:59.Let us live up to that high ideal and let us never stop making

:03:00. > :03:06.loudly and clearly the positive, optimistic and passionate case

:03:07. > :03:11.for our precious union of nations, and of people.

:03:12. > :03:21.A woman driver has died after a two-car collision in Moray.

:03:22. > :03:24.It happened on the A96 Keith to Elgin road

:03:25. > :03:30.Another woman driver was taken to Dr Gray's Hospital.

:03:31. > :03:34.The road remains closed and diversions are in place.

:03:35. > :03:36.The crew of a fishing boat are recovering tonight

:03:37. > :03:40.after a lucky escape when their boat began to sink off Shetland.

:03:41. > :03:43.The crew of the Ocean Way were forced to jump into the sea

:03:44. > :03:55.The crew prepare to jump for their lives.

:03:56. > :04:01.In less than a minute, their 60-foot boat sinks below the waves.

:04:02. > :04:03.Just as we got alongside, the boat started to sink

:04:04. > :04:07.and the boys jumped into the water alongside the lifeboat.

:04:08. > :04:14.We fished them in and hoisted them aboard.

:04:15. > :04:16.Once she stopped moving and was rolling, it was

:04:17. > :04:19.more difficult, which was why they jumped into the water.

:04:20. > :04:22.It was safer than getting trapped between the boats.

:04:23. > :04:32.We got them on board, got their wet clothes off

:04:33. > :04:41.It was just before 7am when the crew sent out a Mayday.

:04:42. > :04:43.It is believed the vessel's trawl door may have struck

:04:44. > :04:51.For over an hour they battled to save the vessel, taking two pumps

:04:52. > :04:55.on board to try to stem the surge of water, but it was not to be.

:04:56. > :05:01.Around 10am, the fishermen arrived back in harbour.

:05:02. > :05:03.After a checkup from paramedics, who boarded the lifeboat,

:05:04. > :05:11.The final moments were the bow of the boat sticking out of the water.

:05:12. > :05:16.Less than one minute from when they decided to jump

:05:17. > :05:27.Marine accident investigators have launched an enquiry

:05:28. > :05:30.There is a warning that we are hurtling towards larger waistlines

:05:31. > :05:35.Cancer Research UK says the risk is being fuelled

:05:36. > :05:44.Tempting, isn't it, a shop full of sweets?

:05:45. > :05:48.Guidelines say that sugar should form no more than 5% of our diet,

:05:49. > :05:50.but on average, adults and children in Scotland consume

:05:51. > :05:59.According to the report, 39% of Scots will have at least one

:06:00. > :06:03.sort of confectionery every day, including sweets, cakes

:06:04. > :06:06.and biscuits, compared to 30% in England,

:06:07. > :06:14.And these statistics have led cancer specialists to give this warning.

:06:15. > :06:17.Only one in four Scots recognise that obesity is the leading

:06:18. > :06:23.It is the single leading preventable cause after smoking.

:06:24. > :06:26.Levels of awareness are low, and we know the biggest contributor

:06:27. > :06:33.Physical activity is important but diet is key, and we have seen no

:06:34. > :06:38.change in overweight or obesity rates in Scotland in a decade.

:06:39. > :06:41.Two thirds of adults and over a quarter of children in Scotland

:06:42. > :06:48.One idea from Cancer Research UK is to call on the Scottish Government

:06:49. > :06:52.to get restrictions put on promotions like multi-buys

:06:53. > :06:58.of foods that are high in sugar, fat and salt.

:06:59. > :06:59.Ministers say they are committed to tackling

:07:00. > :07:06.We will be engaging with the food industry, but we are already

:07:07. > :07:14.Barrs have announced they are re-formulating their recipe.

:07:15. > :07:18.Tesco and other retailers are changing practices as well.

:07:19. > :07:21.But why is the healthy eating message not getting through?

:07:22. > :07:27.We eat what we want, as far as I'm concerned.

:07:28. > :07:33.Advertisements in shops, I do not think they put enough

:07:34. > :07:38.out there to tell people that it is not good for you.

:07:39. > :07:41.People have formed their own food traditions, and it is very difficult

:07:42. > :07:48.I think a wee bit of chocolate is allowed.

:07:49. > :07:51.So it seems changing tastes and attitudes will take far longer

:07:52. > :08:00.than it does to choose in the sweet shop.

:08:01. > :08:07.Let's get the weekend weather forecast now, from Kirsteen.

:08:08. > :08:14.Good evening. We have had some lovely spells of sunshine again

:08:15. > :08:19.today across the North. And a lovely sunset this evening. Thank you to

:08:20. > :08:23.one of our weather watchers in the Highlands for this picture. Tonight,

:08:24. > :08:29.a cloudy prospect for most. Outbreaks of rain, the clearest

:08:30. > :08:34.skies will be across the far North. Perhaps a touch of frost. Tomorrow

:08:35. > :08:38.is mostly cloudy, but there are bits of rain pushing North during the

:08:39. > :08:42.morning. Due to the persistent and at times heavy nature of the rain

:08:43. > :08:46.across parts of the East and North East, we have a Met Office yellow

:08:47. > :08:50.warning for the risk of some localised flooding and hazardous

:08:51. > :08:54.driving conditions. Tomorrow afternoon, I think we should see

:08:55. > :08:57.considerable improvement across the light of the prison Galloway,

:08:58. > :09:02.towards the Borders, with skies brightening here at times. Across

:09:03. > :09:06.much of the Central Belt, a drier prospect tomorrow afternoon, albeit

:09:07. > :09:10.rather cloudy. Across much of the North, we hold onto Clodius guides

:09:11. > :09:16.and are bits of rain. The very driest and perhaps conditions in

:09:17. > :09:20.these areas tomorrow afternoon will be across Shetland. A cold feel for

:09:21. > :09:26.most, a brisk East to north-easterly wind. For the rest of the UK,

:09:27. > :09:31.tomorrow afternoon, a fairly cloudy prospect with outbreaks of rain.

:09:32. > :09:35.Generally central and eastern areas doing better with some brightness.

:09:36. > :09:40.Back on home turf, tomorrow evening, the rain continues to track North

:09:41. > :09:45.may eventually becoming confined to the Northern Isles with strong to

:09:46. > :09:49.gale force winds here into Saturday. Otherwise, largely dry. Sunday, we

:09:50. > :09:51.will have a mixture of bright spells and showers. Heaviest and most

:09:52. > :09:54.frequent in the South and West. From everyone on the late team

:09:55. > :09:59.here in Glasgow and around
