our scotland editor sarah smith sent this report from perth. welcome to scotland. noisy independence protesters are determined to be heard, as the tory leadership race arrives north of the border. at the nearby scottish game fair, voters were considering how the contest could affect scotland. borisjohnson would be more likely to lead to an independent scotland in the shorter term. why? just because he is rather outspoken, and to a certain extent, he's the antithesis of what people in scotland are looking for as a politician. i think boris is not popular in scotland. why is that? why is boris not popular in scotland? i think he's too flippant. i don't think he's serious enough for the scots. he's not down—to—earth enough. despite the foxhounds, not everyone here is a hunt fan. i hate to say it, but probably boris. why? oh, gosh, i don't know. because he has more personality, i think. borisjohnson has got eager support from several scottish tory mps, who clearly don't think him or his brexit plans are a threat to the union. my first priority is obviously the unio

person in scotland. we did not vote for this, we wa nt scotland. we did not vote for this, we want nothing whatsoever to do with it. hardly any mps were for this and were against triggering article 50, but yet we are subjected to this. you mention scottish independence, the prospect of boris becoming prime minister was enough to ta ke becoming prime minister was enough to take independence to 53% in the polls. i think we will see a number of opinion polls that show if anything positive could come out of this, it could be a great recruiting place for scottish independence. this, it could be a great recruiting place for scottish independencem there an acceptance perhaps more generally now that as part of the united kingdom we are where we are, and we've just got to make the best of this? no, because we got options in scotland. we didn't want anything to do with this, we voted overwhelmingly against it. we, thank goodness can have the lifeboat of scottish independence which will secure a place in the europe

of scotland. we should celebrate those and not try to undermine them like the smp constant do it that we have seen today as well. you're sounding very upbeat today but of course scotland did not vote conservative, he did not vote borisjohnson, he vote conservative, he did not vote boris johnson, he did vote conservative, he did not vote borisjohnson, he did not about brexit and it did not vote no deal, and apart from voting conservative, you are the same, you did not vote for three of those things. have you changed your mind or are you making the best of a bad job seeing as he is got boris johnson? the reason you have a conservative government is because he had a record resulting in scotland. we returned 13 smp so we are part of the uk government and i think it‘s important we highlight that. you have got great colleagues who work in listening step standing up who work in listening step standing upfor who work in listening step standing up for scott and‘s interest and that a positive, something

there will be some sunshine in eastern scotland and england and wales. a day similar to monday in that there should be some lengthy spells of sunshine around, staying dry. temperatures in the high teens to low 20s, the exceptions of the northern isles are temperatures are still a little on the cool side. it's another dry day at wimbledon and again there should be some spells of sunshine coming and going through the day, really. in the middle part of the week, our area of high pressure is still firmly in charge of our weather and that means more in the way of dry weather. there could be a few showers just sneaking in across the extreme north of scotland where also there will be a fair bit of cloud. but the more broken cloud there is the more sunshine there will be. temperatures similar, really, 18—22, still a little cool up north with just 12. there will be some changes as we head into thursday. our area of high pressure slips a little bit further west, that allows some rain to come into scotland. whereas scotland gets wet, for england and wales gets a

scotland, if you take the results just for scotland, voted to remain. the fact is you are part of the union and that is what borisjohnson has made very clear, that he wants to keep the union together. by you saying with this bluff and bluster that he is not listening to what scotla nd that he is not listening to what scotland is saying, you are not listening to what the union wants. we offered a differentiated approach that could respect how scotland voted even if the uk had to leave the european union. we set out a compromise proposal to try and protect what was important to scotland, but by that compromise that was on that table and the prime minister refused it, did everyone in the uk know that a no—deal brexit would mean recession? that is what all economists are pointing to. a ratio is that —— recession, unemployment, disguise —— a decline in exports and i think with this information and knowledge that the prime minister has to reflect and act responsibly, but scotland has voted to stay in the european union. scotla nd voted to stay in th

than recently. —— western scotland. 0ne bit warmer than recently. —— western scotland. one or two showers in the east of scotland in the evening. that weather front will still be lingering across the same areas as we go into sunday, stretching back into increasing cloud in the south—west. there might be the odd isolated shower elsewhere, but the vast majority have a day of sunny spells. not as warm as it has been, but it should feel pleasant in the sun. a reminder of our top story. the uk's biggest ever modern slavery gang is broken up after a four—year investigation. eight people from poland have been vindicated of offences. that's all from the bbc news at six. 0n bbc one, we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. goodbye. this is bbc news. the headlines. the biggest network of modern—day slavery is exposed in the uk. eight people are convicted after forcing more than 400 victims

it wasn't such a case for northern ireland and scotland. we've just seen this got the match come to an end behind me. they were up against really tough opponents, south africa, who have been on form at this tournament and proving too strong for the scots in the end, south africa winning 68—34. sorry, 66—38, ijust checked the scoreboard behind me! scotland showing some real fight and scoreboard behind me! scotland showing some realfight and it scoreboard behind me! scotland showing some real fight and it was also the same fate for northern ireland earlier today, a slightly closer match come up against malawi. they lost that match only by four in the end, not quite able to keep up with the pace of the african nation but really holding their head high, knowing they gave a top team a good run for their money. unfortunately that means northern ireland and scotla nd that means northern ireland and scotland will probably feature out of the top eight of this tournament which is disappointing particular for scotland, who are ranked seventh in th

eastern side of scotland, well. the eastern side of scotland, much of england and wales and much of the day is going to be dry with hazy sunshine. it is a wet night through northern ireland and much of scotland, northern england and north wales. it will be a warmer night to come, but the further south and south—east you are it will stay dry. the room tomorrow will retreat northwards into north—west scotland. elsewhere, we will see a lot of luke wright around to start the day. it may linger on the coast. near 30 degrees in eastern england, and it gets hotter still for some of us as the week goes on. hello this is bbc news with shaun ley. the headlines... please confirm that you are not intending to violate international law, by unlawfully attempting to boa rd. dramatic audio reveals how a british warship warned iranian forces not to seize a uk—registered oil tanker in the gulf. meanwhile iran's ambassador to the uk has said that increasing tension between britain and iran is ‘quite dangerous and unwise at a s

into northern ireland, with the scattering of showers ahead of it, into western scotland. now that's going to continue through the night, but it will gradually drift its way northwards, at the same time, we could see a few sharp and thundery downpours across the far northeast of scotland. but to the south of that weather front, it stays relatively quiet, a more comfortable night for getting a good night to sleep, with overnight lows of 12—16 degrees. so we start off the new working week, still with that weather front there, but it's drifting its way into scotland, and it will weaken all the time to a band of showers, as we go through the day. a ridge of high pressure builds across england and wales, that's where the best of the weather is likely to be at the start of the new working week, but there is an area of low pressure starting to push in the isles of scilly and into cornwall by the end of the day. in terms of the feel of things, if you keep the sunshine, we'll see some pleasant warmth, 24—26 degrees, but it will turn increasingly windy down to the southwest. som

and the white backdrop there in scotland in scotla nd backdrop there in scotland in scotland is a place that voted to remain. both contenders are committed to getting the uk out of the european union. in boris johnson's case, definitely by the 3ist johnson's case, definitely by the 31st of october, and that is what jeremy hunt is also aiming for.l very tricky position for them here in scotland. a majority of people here amongst the wider electorate voted in favour of remaining in the european union. you get a sense of how challenging the position might be, whoever becomes prime minister, in the fact that the present incumbent, theresa may, was up in scotla nd incumbent, theresa may, was up in scotland yesterday. she said there was a very real risk of the uk breaking up in the event of a new deal brexit, underlining just how important she thinks this issue will be for her successor. so a very tricky balancing act in terms of the european union and the other union when it comes to scotland, that of the uk. many thanks for the latest from those hustings. let's bring you some breaking news

scotland play jamaica, why is a win so important for scotland? scotland have had a tough tournament here, they have only won one match so far and that is mainly because they have been a tough side of the draw. they face jamaica, one of the draw. they face jamaica, one of the draw. they face jamaica, one of the top teams in this tournament, they've had a difficult run, jamaica, losing to south africa in the early stages and losing to england on monday. they are desperate for this win to keep their semifinal hopes alive. scotland one awin to semifinal hopes alive. scotland one a win to keep their hopes of being in the top eight alive. it will be an interesting match. there will be hoping to keep that scoreline as close as possible. i am not sure scotla nd close as possible. i am not sure scotland at the options in the team to beat a very strong jamaican team. we will keep an eye on the match, as well as the england match. it will be live from 240 5p this afternoon. —— 2:45pm. you can watch live coverage of england v trinidad and tobago at three

and thejobs they say will be lost to scotland and the jobs they say will be lost to scotland in the event of a no—deal brexit. to scotland in the event of a no-deal brexit. lorna gordon for now in scotland, thank you. we can turn to norman, our assistant political editor in westminster. norman, the government says it is turbo—charging preparations for no deal. what will that involve exactly? basically, it's a shake—up of the government machinery, preparing for no deal. the view of team johnson is that under mrs may it all became a bit complicated and convoluted and it lacked oomph and cache. mrjohnson has stripped it back to two committees, one run by michael gove, the daily nuts and bolts of a no deal committee, responsible for putting in place detailed plans to make sure there are no huge queues at ferry ports and no shortage of supplies. then there will be a second committee chaired by boris johnson that will meet twice a week, consisting of key members of the cabinets that will essentially make all the big decisions about brexit. the thinking is obviously to step up prepar

across the northern half of scotland. some particularly heavy bursts of rain for the western highlands, breezy here as well, and temperatures across scotland between 14—16 degrees. but further south, 25 or 26 degrees looks likely towards the south—eastern corner. now, another warm day to come in the south on friday, with some sunshine. but that cloud in the north will make a bit more progress southwards through scotland, northern england, northern ireland, taking a band of rain with it. and that band of rain is associated with a weather front, a cold front, which will continue to journey southwards as we head into the start of the weekend, and that opens the door to some cooler air spreading its way down from the north. so temperatures dipping away for all of us as we head towards the weekend, but it looks like staying predominantly dry. that's all from me for now. this is the briefing. i'm sally bundock. our top story: two women are among those chosen by eu leaders to hold the union's topjobs — they're now facing a

so turning wet for northern ireland and western scotland through the morning. a dry start for eastern scotland and for england and wales on wednesday, with some morning sunshine. things will tend to cloud over as the day goes by, with the rain getting into western fringes of england and wales, and across into eastern scotland as well. now, to the east of our weather front, that's where the highest temperatures are going to be. we'll still be reaching temperatures of around 25 for norwich and london, still feeling rather humid, but ultimately that weather front will push through. it's a cold front, and it will be bringing that fresher air right the way across the country by the time we get to thursday. so thursday's a day of rain clearing, followed by some drier weather and sunshine for england and wales. showers moving into northern ireland and scotland and perhaps northern england as well. the showers quite widespread, heavy, and likely to be thundery at times too. temperatures high teens across northern areas, 23, 2a degrees in the warmest spots further south

and scotland and northern ireland will hope to make it through to the next stage. scotland have been a much improving team recently, now seventh in the world best ranking to date but unfortunately they find themselves in a very tough group. we a lwa ys themselves in a very tough group. we always seem to draw england, we played them at the commonwealth games and we know what they are like but it will amazing to be in the atmosphere because it sold out within 2a hours and we know you will have english fans making noise but we have a good support from scotland so we have a good support from scotland so it is exciting to play in such a big occasion. australia are the defending champions hoping to put right the loss at the commonwealth games and they go against northern ireland in their first match and the captain of australia is hoping to make a good start. northern ireland will be a great first game, they have a familiar face and the coaching staff who knows the ins and outs of the australian players and i am looking forward to see what dan puts on his team. who bette
