The SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon has launched her party's manifesto | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
for the Holyrood elections, stressing that she's out to win | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
She said that improved education for all would be the "defining | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
mission" of her government, if she is returned to power. | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
But she also intends a new campaign to build support for independence. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
This from our political editor Brian Taylor. | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
They queued as a rock concert. The pre-gig itself is, the programme for | :00:33. | :00:40. | |
Government. They love the support act. Waiting in the wings, the best. | :00:41. | :00:50. | |
No, not Springsteen, Sturgeon. To the manifesto, big emphasis of the | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
early years and support for pensioners. They liked both but from | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
the soles of their shoes, a yen for independence. What about that second | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
referendum? I would like that very much. But she went contemplated | :01:06. | :01:15. | |
unless there is clear majority support or Scotland is taken out of | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
the EU against popular well. She plans a new campaign to build | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
backing for independence. This manifesto is about devolved powers. | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
Among other policies, the manifesto pledges ?750 million extra for | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
schools, aimed at helping those in more deprived backgrounds. A large | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
chunk of the money goes directly to school headteachers, effectively | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
bypassing local authorities. ?2 billion extra for the NHS. There | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
will be from package for the NHS, particularly me for mental health | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
care. There's also a ?20 billion for infrastructure to boost economic | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
growth in Scotland, roads, railways, schools, housing and broadband. | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
Nicola! They have raised money from council tax. Unlike some rebels, | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
they have freeze the standard rate paid by all and would increase the | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
very top rate. Nicola Sturgeon, is personal. This manifesto is | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
essentially my job application as I asked people to elect me as the | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
First Minister of Scotland. It is very much a programme for | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
Government. This election is not a contest for second place, it is not | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
a game of chance on the electoral system. It is a decision about who | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
forms the next Government and who is the next First Minister of our | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
country. I'm asking people on the strength of this manifesto to elect | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
me to be the First Minister. They promise a fairer welfare system, | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
including scrapping the bedroom tax. Seeking growth, they would it then | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
the small business bonus so 100,000 small firms pay nothing in rates. | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
Finally, on stage, the backing band. Seeking your support. | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
The state of the economy is always a crucial part of the political | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
agenda and today new figures were published showing the jobless | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
total here in Scotland increasing by 20,000 in three months | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
and remaining at a higher rate than the rest of the UK. | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
Our business correspondent David Henderson has the details. | :03:22. | :03:30. | |
This engineering plant is a long way from the north sea but it is still | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
feeling the impact from the collapse in the price of oil. It makes | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
high-tech parts for the offshore industry that buyers are saving | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
their cash so jobs here have been lost. Things have got much tougher | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
over the last year. We are a fraction of the turnover we have | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
been doing before, we have lost six people from our workforce, I've had | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
to make them redundant. Most of our competitors have done the same | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
thing. The oil industry has been hit hard and that is bad news | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
re-employment. The latest figures across Scotland showed the number of | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
people out of work and looking for a job rose by 20,000. Scotland's | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
unemployment rate is now higher than it is across the UK as a whole. | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
These problems go beyond the north-east and the offshore | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
industry, Scotland's manufacturers have had a difficult year with some | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
of the best-known names facing closure. Gollum's service sector | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
which employs the most people has barely grown in recent months. You | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
think this would be concentrated in the oil industry, the figures for | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
women are worse for those than men. This doesn't augur well going into | :04:53. | :05:02. | |
the future. So as our big employers face big challenges, what scope is | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
therefore small-scale job creation? As the offending God today, | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
entrepreneurs and community groups were talking shop, using old empty | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
buildings for new ventures and new jobs in uncertain times. This is | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
happening all the world. Maybe if we actually recognise this and go, we | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
are looking in on the most volatile economic times. We need to allow the | :05:27. | :05:38. | |
innovation. This engineering firm is taking up that challenge, looking | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
for orders beyond the oil industry. The question now, can other Scottish | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
employers and its workforce do the same? | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
Well, the employment figures were the hot topic on the election | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
With a round-up, here again is our | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
Today, the parties 's role setting out their stalls. The opposition | :05:55. | :06:05. | |
party thing that the SMB 's economic programme was wrong, that they had | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
the balance wrong. The SNP do not agree. We can see all of the | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
International reports about the difficulties that have been exposed. | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
Odyssey that has an effect on the Scottish economy. We can try to make | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
measures and initiatives that try to improve the employment prospects of | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
people within our country. We have managed to stave off closures. It is | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
a very worrying number of statistics. We must redouble our | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
efforts to support people have just lost their jobs and that is why the | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
Labour Party is advocating for a new agency to help people out of work | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
get into work. It will also support people in work to get on in work. | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
The increase in high point is deeply concerning. It shows how we aren't | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
we are on the north sea and how much a Bollywood have been to rely on | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
that for independence. That is why we really need now to invest in the | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
skills and the talent of people who live and work in Scotland. That way | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
we can grow the economy. What we see today, there is a clear difference | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
now between Scotland and the rest of UK. That will only get wider if we | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
make some parties want in this election, make Scotland the highest | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
taxed part of the UK. It will put off the jobs investment and growth | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
that we need to catch up. We expect the Labour manifesto week today, we | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
that we need to catch up. We expect got from the polling. The focus was | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
primarily on the SNP, the launch of got from the polling. The focus was | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
their manifesto, a big moment in the campaign for any party. From now on, | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
all the parties, all the parties, have the opportunity to convince | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
people and persuade. After that, it is make your mind up time is for the | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
voters. The funeral service has been held | :07:52. | :07:52. | |
for 15-year-old Paige Doherty who went missing in Clydebank | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
in West Dunbartonshire last month. A man has been charged | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
with her murder. Hundreds of mourners gathered | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
at St Margaret's church in the town and afterwards the teenager's coffin | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
was taken to the cemetery During the service Paige's mother | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
paid tribute to her daughter. She had a smile across her face | :08:05. | :08:19. | |
every day. That is how she should be remembered. She was taken from us in | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
the most cruel way imaginable. I take comfort in knowing that pages | :08:27. | :08:27. | |
are now happy place. Keep dancing in the sky | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
and show heaven A major medical trial is set | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
to start in Scotland aimed at preventing type one | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
diabetes in children. If successful, the study | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
could challenge long-established thinking on what lies | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
behind the disease. Here's our health correspondent | :08:44. | :08:44. | |
Eleanor Bradford. Kyle is one of the first | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
to sign up to a massive trial which wants | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
to trace every child in Scotland who has | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
My dad has to take insulin a lot of the time. | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
And then I saw the poster, then I said, come on, Mum, | :09:03. | :09:11. | |
He will have a simple blood test to see if he is | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
If he is at high risk of diabetes, researchers want to | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
find out whether giving him a common diabetes drug could | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
stop it from developing, offering the first real hope of a | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
preventative treatment for childhood diabetes. | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
It is all based on a new theory about what causes type 1 | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
Until now, it has been thought it is a disorder of the | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
immune system which attacks cells in the pancreas. | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
Maybe the immune system is not at the front... | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
Of the sequence that causes diabetes, maybe | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
And maybe modern living factors in modern life are | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
stressing the beta cells and they are sending | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
certain people with certain genes, it is coming and attacking the beta | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
Scotland has the third highest incidence of type 1 diabetes in the | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
If this trial shows drugs can stop it developing, not only will | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
thousands of cases be prevented, but our understanding of the illness | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
Football now and Celtic is in the market for a new manager. | :10:19. | :10:32. | |
Ronny Deila has announced he's standing down at the end | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
of the season after two years in charge. | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
Former boss Neil Lennon says he's interested in the job. | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
I thoroughly enjoyed my four years. The 18 months Appleton as well which | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
is totally different spectrum of the game. I think I'm far more better | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
off with the experience of both ends, both clubs. That's five and | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
half years as a manager now so I have got the experience. I know what | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
I'm walking in as well. If I were to speed to the board. -- speak. | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
And one football result tonight in the Championship. | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
Hibernian moved within three points of second-placed Falkirk | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
Well, after a lovely day for most of us, | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
time for the weather from Christopher. | :11:18. | :11:26. | |
Chile at times but YouTube rural part of the south. Thick cloud as | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
we're seeing today against the far north. One or two light showers but | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
most the mainline, getting off to a bright, sunny start the Thursday | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
morning. The temperatures at eight o'clock, early miss passes well gone | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
by this point. Thick cloud to start the day to parts of northern | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
Grampian, over towards the north west and a few light showers. Orkney | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
and Shetland starting the day sunny and staying that way. As we head to | :11:55. | :12:02. | |
the cause of Thursday, improving and brightening up against the final. | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
Also, sunny, the cloud building up more so than did today. Across the | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
UK a whole, high carb across England and Wales. Temps is for many in | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
between the mid-teens, including us in Scotland. Always cooler the | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
further north you are. They're looking ahead towards Friday, low | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
pressure in the southern approaches. A band of rain towards the | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
south-west of the UK. It is the high pressure that we are looking at | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
because it is to thing its way westwards and actually that means we | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
don't start to see another they will develop. Around the high-pressure, | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
the winds will drag and those cold winds. Looking at the detail for | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
Friday, cloudy across the good part of England and Wells. Rain in the | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
south-west. There will be some showers. Temperatures, five or six | :12:54. | :13:02. | |
Celsius. We are going to be mid-teens tomorrow. Into the | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
weekend, the showery theme continues. Best of the sunshine in | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
the west. One or two showers here as well. Sunday, fairly frequent | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
showers. Just five or six Celsius in the north. Temperatures up to nine | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
or 10 Celsius. That is the forecast for now. | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
It was nice wasn't it? Our next update is during Breakfast | :13:25. | :13:25. | |
at 6.25 tomorrow morning. But, from everyone | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
on the late team, goodnight. | :13:30. | :13:32. |
