That's all from me, stay with us on BBC One - it's time | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Edinburgh City Council says structural surveys into the 17 | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
The council is promising updated information will be confirmed as | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
Aileen Clarke has been talking to parents affected | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
This afternoon the Bhandari family had all the superheroes out | :00:27. | :00:35. | |
for nine-year-old Jay who has cerebral palsy. | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
But with his special needs school being one of the 17 schools | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
the council has closed until further notice, it has been a very | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
stressful weekend trying to organise childcare. | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
We have no understanding at all at this point as to how long | :00:48. | :00:56. | |
The word indefinitely has been used on the website, | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
It is not sustainable and it is quite difficult, | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
especially coming in after the Easter break when we have | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
Whether that will be unpaid leave or annual leave, | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
The Edinburgh Schools Partnership, who manage the schools, | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
have been in meetings all day today, since revealing yesterday that | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
missing wall ties in St Peter's Primary and Oxgangs Primary have | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
prompted the council to shut down all 17 schools built under the same | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
In Oxgangs, these parents were doing their best | :01:30. | :01:38. | |
to keep their Primary One daughter from worrying about what will now | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
Oxgangs Primary was closed just before the holidays for remedial | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
work on wall problems and it should have reopened tomorrow. | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
We had an issue one, now it is an issue two, | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
They have had all the Easter holidays, I don't know | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
how they could just find out that one day. | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
When the wall collapsed at this school in January, parents thought | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
But as one said to me tonight, had it not happened, | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
when would these further safety issues have come to light? | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
Questions are now being asked as to why they were not spotted | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
Aileen Clarke, Reporting Scotland, Edinburgh. | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
Four of Scotland's party leaders have now | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
Politicians here have been reacting in the wake | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
of the Panama Papers scandal, which saw the Prime Minister publish | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
tax details after being criticised for having an offshore account. | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
Our political correspondent Andrew Kerr reports. | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
In black and white, the SNP leader's tax return. | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
There had been calls for Nicola Sturgeon to publish it | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
after the Scottish Labour Leader released hers yesterday. | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
The more transparency we have, the better, my only income | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
It is a very good one but it is all I have got | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
I will put it out there and people can look at it. | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
I think all politicians, certainly in a position | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
Another leader who published his tax returns, the Prime Minister, | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
after being criticised for having shares in an offshore trust. | :03:15. | :03:22. | |
The Scottish Conservative leader published hers but | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
I am happy to publish my tax return but I do not believe that ad hoc | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
I believe it is about finding out the right balance, the right rules, | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
so that everyone abides by the same rules. | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
Not quite the Masters at Augusta, but the Liberal Democrat Leader | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
in Kirkcaldy is keen to eye up the land on this issue | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
Before we go any further we have to have a cold, calm look at this, | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
to make sure that we are not creating barriers to politics that | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
Therefore, perhaps outside of the election period, | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
having a proper commission to look at these arrangements. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
Politician's dough has been the focus of the Labour Party | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
Today they have gone further wanting strict tax rules for | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
companies who were handed government contracts. | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
If a company or an individual avoids tax, they should not be able | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
And so a future Scottish Labour government would make sure that no | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
public contract could be awarded to a company or individual | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
if they have been found to be avoiding tax. | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
Debates about tax affairs have dominated the agenda this weekend. | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
There will be fresh political arguments this week | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
as the main parties start to release their manifestos. | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
Andrew Kerr, Reporting Scotland, Edinburgh. | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
In football, Rangers played Peterhead in the Scottish Challenge | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
Sportscene has all the weekend's highlights, so if you don't | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
want to know today's score, look away now. | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
It's over to Anne now with the weather forecast | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
Elsewhere, largely dry, a bit more weight in the cloud. And | :05:05. | :05:55. | |
Aberdeenshire, the Moray coast, weight in the cloud. And | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
kidneys and Shetland. Orkney and from much of the North West | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
Highlands, plenty of dry weather and some good spells of sunshine. For | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
much of the country through the course of the day. That is the order | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
of play through the morning. And improving picture for the far South | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
West. Some reasons those of sunshine. More Anhui Oakwood for the | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
East coast. For the best of UK, fine weather on offer. This rain | :06:24. | :06:27. |
