The Scottish Conservative leader, Ruth Davidson, has ruled out | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
short-term Holyrood tax cuts, but has said her manifesto will set | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
out how Scottish taxes could come down in future. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
She made the pledges at her party's conference in Edinburgh, | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
where both she and the Prime Minister David Cameron insisted that | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
only the Tories could hold the next Scottish Government to account. | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
From the conference, here's our political correspondent, | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
Ruth Davidson is not playing to win power at Holyrood. | :00:37. | :00:44. | |
Her party's pre-election conference at Murrayfield, | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
is a pitch for the Conservatives to displace Labour and become | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
the principal opposition to an SNP government. | :00:50. | :01:03. | |
To challenge them to keep NHS spending rising. NHS funding should | :01:04. | :01:14. | |
rise by 2%. Every single penny should be passed on. She said the | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
time was not right for a tax cut but promised to resist tax rises. There | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
is no justification, none at all, for demanding a higher tax burden on | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
Scottish families than there is on people elsewhere in the UK. | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
In all previous Holyrood contests, it would have been laughable | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
for a Conservative leader to talk seriously of overtaking Labour. | :01:35. | :01:44. | |
Opinion polls suggest the Tories are still the third-placed party. | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
But the gap between them and Labour has never been narrower. | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
In his address, the Prime Minister challenged his party | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
Today, we are the effective opposition and for the next 62 | :01:54. | :02:03. | |
Today, we are the effective we will fight to become the official | :02:04. | :02:04. | |
opposition. We have worked so | :02:05. | :02:04. | |
on the EU referendum. We have worked so | :02:05. | :02:16. | |
economy growing, to get our people into work, to see living standards | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
rise, leaving the EU could put so much of that at risk. | :02:22. | :02:22. | |
But on the conference fringe, the alternative view. | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
I think that we as a country should be able to make our own laws and | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
control our own borders, which we can't do while we are in the | :02:36. | :02:36. | |
European Union. Here, the Tories have a Holyrood | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
election to focus on, College lecturers across Scotland | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
are to go on strike. They've voted overwhelmingly | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
for action in a long-running Their union says there will be | :02:55. | :02:55. | |
a national one-day strike the week after next and that the action | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
could quickly escalate. Here's our education | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
correspondent Jamie McIvor. Well, this is a complex pay dispute | :03:03. | :03:15. | |
and it is linked to the return of national pay bargaining. At issue is | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
the planned 1% national pay rise along with the differences between | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
what lecturers earn an different colleges, despite doing similar | :03:25. | :03:25. | |
jobs. colleges, despite doing similar | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
Lecturers' Association so they are dashed say there are discrepancies | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
of thousands of pounds a year. There is going to be a one-day strike on | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
Thursday but the dispute could escalate quickly if the dispute is | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
not resolved. There could be one escalate quickly if the dispute is | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
strike a week every day escalate quickly if the dispute is | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Easter holidays. This could become a major issue in the run-up to the | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
elections. There has been a shake-up in this area in | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
elections. There has been a shake-up have been cut and there are a large | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
number of cuts in the number of part-time students. These are | :04:05. | :04:05. | |
controversial issues for some in part-time students. These are | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
sector and we expect to hear them raised on strike today although the | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
disputed Saab is strictly over pay. The body that represents colleges in | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
Scotland says that the pay deal is the best on offer in the current | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
difficult financial circumstances. The Scottish Government says that a | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
strike would be in nobody's interest and it calls on both sides to get | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
together to find a solution. The operators of Inverness Airport | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
have announced plans for a ?900,000 The investment will almost double | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
the size of the departure lounge, and create a new arrivals hall | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
for international passengers. The airport has seen | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
a steady increase in flights to and from other European cities, | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
and wants to maintain that growth. Demolition on the St James centre | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
in Edinburgh will begin in May. of an ?850 million retail, | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
restaurant, hotel, housing Edinburgh Council is setting up | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
a special squad to tackle It is to spend ?180,000 | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
on an intensive programme of repairs It is a full-time job, | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
but a temporary solution. These teams are out | :05:17. | :05:25. | |
with a quick fix to a problem For regular users, the state | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
of the roads is a constant concern. One minute you are | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
driving and the next minute, Then you are driving away, | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
so you don't really take heed I ride a bicycle in | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
town a lot, and there are a lot of serious potholes that | :05:45. | :05:54. | |
could really crush a wheel. One of the most rattling | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
rides I have had Up and down the country, | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
it seems the streets Here in Edinburgh, | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
councils acknowledge there has been an increase this | :06:14. | :06:30. | |
year, which is why they have set up The council says it will also invest | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
in permanent repairs We are looking at rolling out | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
a new surface, so we can do more roads and it means they will not get | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
into that condition. We are looking at a particular | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
problem at bus stops and reinforcing bus stops in certain areas | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
with heavy numbers of buses We are looking at every way | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
we can to prevent us getting to the situation | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
where the roads are in It is also encouraging residents | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
to report defects Cyclists want | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
a long-term improvement. Riding to work should be | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
pleasant and enjoyable, but going with the potholes, | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
it is rough and not as safe, because you have to | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
keep avoiding them. If you go into them, | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
you might come off. In Edinburgh, the council say | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
that the pothole patrol is part of a ?50 million | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
investment in the roads. Rugby now - and in tonight's Pro12 | :07:22. | :07:31. | |
match Edinburgh were unlucky not to capitalise after a Hidalgo-Clyne | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
kick in the 69th minute took -- they add a fifth place -- the | :07:39. | :07:48. | |
fifth suicide and a bonus point. Let's get the weather | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
outlook for the weekend The weather front is still in place. | :07:55. | :08:11. | |
North of the border, we are in this north, north-easterly airflow which | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
will drive wintry air flows into eastern Scotland. Increasingly | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
wintry into low levels. We could see some significant at the relations of | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
a high-level roads particularly from Murray and Aberdeenshire. But also | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
the Highlands and the Lothians. There could be a frost and tricky | :08:35. | :08:42. | |
conditions on the road first thing. But a fine weather for western | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
Scotland. A a dry, bright start and spells of sunshine. Cloud building | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
up as the day goes on. If similar story from Northern Ireland, western | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
England and Wales. But for other parts, a different story, cloudy | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
with frequent showers which are given in on brisk northerly winds. | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
Across the country, those wins were lent a chilly feel tomorrow. Even in | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
the sunshine, temperatures only five or 63 is at best. Tomorrow evening, | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
that weather front -- five or 6 or 63 is at best. Tomorrow evening, | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
degrees. North of the border, it becomes mainly dry and high pressure | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
builds on from the West. It cold night and the widespread frost | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
taking us into Sunday. Sunday is a cracking day. Some wintry showers | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
for the Northern Isles and the Highlands, Murray and Aberdeenshire, | :09:39. | :09:39. | |
and perhaps some coming into the Highlands, Murray and Aberdeenshire, | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
East Coast, but most places will be dry and bright with sunshine. Light | :09:44. | :09:52. | |
winds. On Monday, we are so pulling in air from the Arctic, so it is | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
cold, but still drive. From the late team here | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
