the old testament reading given by first minister humza yousaf from psalm 19.irmament proclaims his handiwork. day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge. there is no speech, nor are there words. their voice is not heard. yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. in the heavens he has set a tent for the sun, which comes out like a bridegroom from his wedding canopy, and like a strong man runs its course with joy. its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and nothing is hidden from its heat. now we hear psalm 23 sung in gaelic by the 2010 winner of the gaelic singing competition, joy dunlop. # dhomh dheasaich bord air beul mo namh. # le ola dh�*ung mo cheann. # cur thairis tha mo chopan fos, aig meud an lain a th�* ann. # ach leanaidh math os trocair rium. # an cian a bhios mi beo # is comhnaicheam an aros dhe # ri fad mo re �*s mo lo.# # ach leanaidh math os trocair rium. # an cian a bhios mi beo # is comhnaicheam an aros dhe # ri fad mo re �*s mo lo.#

now that is not a view shared by scotland's first minister, humza yousaf, he doesn't agree, he says thegnalled that his government is not serious about tackling the climate emergency when it comes to issuing these new licenses. that is also a view shared by environmental groups — i'll give you a few of their views, 0xfam uk says, "the decision is wrong—headed," and calls the government's policy hypocritical and dangerously... " on the unprecedented wildfires as heat waves are around the globe." you've already discussed that the prime minister said this would support thousands ofjobs across the uk and has defended issuing these new oil and gas licenses as the right thing to do. but i think in this area specifically, they will be digesting the news today, and actuallyjust waiting for a little bit more detail on the timescales we can expect and exactly how much money we can expect to flow into this area.— to flow into this area. rebecca, thanks so _ to flow into this area. rebecca, thanks so much. _ many times we've reported on the plight of uyghur muslims in china, with hundreds of thousa

they were also in st giles' cathedral for the ceremony and the scottish first minister humza yousaf gavetle and the red arrows have taken part in a fly byjust a short time ago. people are still lining the streets, catching their last glimpse of the procession. now it is time for a look at the weather forecast. hello. tuesday was certainly a disappointing day for the outer courts at wimbledon, with heavy rain arriving during the afternoon. it was welcome news for gardeners and growers. in fact, in lowestoft, in suffolk, we had just shy of a month's worth of rain in the space of 2a hours. the low pressure responsible is causing some issues with the strength of the wind across the low countries at the moment. but for us, it's a quieter story for our wednesday afternoon, a case of sunny spells and scattered showers. there will be quite a few showers around, but there will be light in nature. and so if you miss them, those temperatures are likely to peak between 1a and 20 celsius, that's 68 fahrenheit, just a little bit below par really for this time of year. through the evening, most of thos

that is not a view shared by scotland's first minister humza yousaf.government is not serious about tackling the climate emergency when it comes to issuing these new licences and that is a view held by many environmental groups, too. but people here will be digesting the news and really looking for some more detail about timescales and just exactly how much money will be coming for the acorn project. rebecca curran, thank you very much. i rebecca curran in st fergus. ukrainian troops are continuing to make advances around the city of bakhmut in the east of the country. russia captured it earlier this year after intense fighting and the battle for bakhmut has become one of huge symbolic importance in the war. our defence correspondent jonathan beale has been given access to a team of elite ukrainian snipers there: they are called the ghosts of bakhmut. we're on our way to a secret location, a place they call the edge of existence. behind the wheel, the man simply known as ghost. he tells me his team of snipers are all known as the ghosts of bakhmut beca

the first minister humza yousaf has welcomed the plans were sent fergus, saying that this type of fundingighly critical of the decision to issue new north sea licences. he says that it shows, in his words, the prime minister is willing to recklessly gamble the future of our planet for what he says is a cheap political gain. the prime minister, meanwhile, says it is simply the right thing to do. people here will be digesting this news, they will be watching and waiting for some more detail around the timescales and whether or not this millions of pounds of investment will finally see a carbon capture and storage facility finally brought to fruition in the north—east of scotland. but ruben, critic sadie government is going soft on the green agenda, is it? , , , , ., ., , it? number ten insists not. i was talkin: it? number ten insists not. iwas talkin: to it? number ten insists not. i was talking to one — it? number ten insists not. i was talking to one source _ it? number ten insists not. i was talking to one source in - it? number ten insists not. i was talking to one source in the - it?

scotland's first minister, humza yousaf, said the licences demonstrated the uk government wasn't seriousling the climate emergency, but welcomed the carbon capture and storage plans. a key selling point for rishi sunak, speaking in aberdeen today, was his claim that the deal would deliver energy security, defending the public against the disruption of global energy supplies — something the shadow climate change secretary ed miliband refuted. we'll discuss with the conservatives and labour in a moment — first here's kate. we've been getting oil and gas from the north sea since the 19705. today, even without politics, production is in decline. principally because the gap between what's been used and what's left has shrunk significantly. grant shapps, secretary of state for energy security and net zero, has said he wants to "max out" these small but symbolic reserves — including issuing hundreds of new oil and gas licences. one reason, he suggests, is energy bills. now, it can take decades between a licence being issued and fossilfuels being produced. but even then, the impact on household

but in the last few months maybe not quite an identity crisis, but i think humza yousaf is still tryings quite keen on telling people that this was just around the corner. hi. hello. stephen noon is the former chief strategist of the snp yes campaign and a member of the snp. how would you characterise the state of support for independence at the moment? well it is at historic levels. i think support for independence is slightly more complex than the yes/no number might suggest. i think we will move to a position where we are more independent, but we will have a looser relationship with the rest of the uk and an enhanced relationship with the rest of europe. and i think it will make take 20 or 30 years to find that right balance. i think we live in an interdependent world and so the reality of independence in an interdependent world is we will have a partnership with the rest of the uk, we will ha ongoing relationship with the uk, uk, we will have ongoing relationship with the uk, ongoing relationship with europe and more independence. so i think it will take a period, of 20, 30 years to
