Unemployment rises in Scotland again - business groups say it | :00:20. | :00:27. | |
should trigger an amber alert for the Government. | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
The former Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers, is the front runner | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
to take over at Celtic, with the club's | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
He's a great manager. He's proved that at Liverpool. I think he's a | :00:37. | :00:51. | |
worthy candidate for Celtic. We'll have the latest | :00:52. | :00:52. | |
from Celtic Park. Also on the programme, | :00:53. | :00:54. | |

climbing sport of Parkour out Nicola Sturgeon has | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
unveiled her new Cabinet, stressing that her main focus | :00:59. | :01:18. | |
is to ensure a world-class To that end, the biggest change | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
she's made is to move the Deputy First Minister, | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
John Swinney, from His old job is split in two, | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
with Keith Brown becoming Economy Secretary and Derek Mackay promoted | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
to become Finance Secretary, to oversee the parliament's | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
new tax powers. With more details, here's our | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
political editor, Brian Taylor. With suitable solemnity the Lord | :01:41. | :01:58. | |
President accompanied by 14 other judges administers the oaths of | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
office to Nicola Sturgeon. She accepts | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
power with the customary nod. Signing the parchments she becomes | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
once more First Minister and keeper of the great seal of Scotland, | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
symbol of authority. Lord noted her duties would be | :02:15. | :02:26. | |
arduous. First duty, a Cabinet reshuffle at Bute House, her | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
official residence. First to arrive her deputy, John | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
Swinney. He moves from finance after nine years | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
to take charge of education, Ms Sturgeon's top priority. It is the | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
issue I want my Government and me as First Minister to be judged on. | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
It underlines the importance I have to give him the responsibility to | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
take forward the Government's agenda on that issue. | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
John Swinney's finance remit is split, with Keith Brown taking | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
charge of the economy, while newcomer Derek Mackay handles | :02:59. | :03:07. | |
finance, including tax powers. As part of that Angela Constance will | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
handle the new welfare powers. Getting his jacket on in readiness | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
Fergus Ewing arrives to join cabinet for | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
the first time. He moves from energy and the | :03:17. | :03:30. | |
controversial topic of fracking to take charge of the | :03:31. | :03:31. | |
pledge of universal broadband links. Three Cabinet Secretaries stay where | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
they are. Shona Robson at health, Michael Matheson at justice and | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
Fiona Hyslop at culture. But there are changes too. The | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
Scottish Government has ambitious targets to tackle climate change, | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
but has failed to meet them. That topic is | :03:55. | :03:55. | |
of the rural affairs department, where it was felt it was swamped. | :03:56. | :04:04. | |
Roseanna Cunningham takes charge as part of her environment brief. | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
Richard Delays over farm payments brought | :04:08. | :04:16. | |
criticism but his wants to focus on his children and his wife, who has | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
breast cancer. These things put life into perspective. I think after nine | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
years I want to take a back seat from Government. Also standing down | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
Alex Neil from social justice. The new team still ten in Cabinet, | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
still gender balanced, but with new remits for six Ministers to match | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
new priorities. Brian How do you assess today's reshuffle? | :04:38. | :04:47. | |
It is an intriguing thing at Holyrood. The opposition leaders are | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
wishing their personal best to the new incumbents, but stressing they | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
will be judged by results. In the case of John Swinney that is | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
literally true. The task he has been set is to close the so-called | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
attainment gap, school performance, the gap between those from richer | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
backgrounds and those from poorer backgrounds. He will be judged by | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
that result. Nicola Sturgeon says she wants her Government to be | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
judged on that. Ays she wants her Government to be judged on that. | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
Junior Ministers - four new names coming in for the first time. Mark | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
McDonald, Kevin Stuart and Shirley-Anne | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
Somerville. Jean Freeman, no strange er to Government. She was a special | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
adviser to Jack McConnell as the Labour First Minister. Brian, thank | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
you. As we've heard, the Queen has set | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
out the UK Government's But just over half of the bills | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
actually apply to Scotland and critics have dubbed it | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
a "wasted opportunity". Here's our Westminster | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
correspondent, Nick Eardley. day of pomp and ceremony at | :05:48. | :05:58. | |
Westminster. The Queen on her way to the House of Lords to set our | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
Government's plans for the next 12 months. My Government will continue | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
to work in co-operation with the devolved administrations to | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
implement the extensive new powers in the Scotland Act. But how much of | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
the speech is aliberalable north of the border? The Scotland Office says | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
13 the 21 bills apply to Scotland at least in part. That includes areas | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
like a crackdown on corruption, and extending high-speed broadband. | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
There was support for Audit Commission spaceport, with four | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
Scottish sites in the running. But other announcements like those on | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
prison reform and education don't apply. | :06:35. | :06:35. | |
The UK Government says that's a national consequence of more powers | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
being devolved. In the last session we passioned the Scotland Act, which | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
will make the Scottish Parliament one of the most powerful Parliaments | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
anywhere in the world. The real task now for the UK Government is to | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
work with the Scottish Government to make sure that that Act is | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
implemented. The Queen's Speech has said a lot of things they've said | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
before. They are talking about public finances, they've failed to | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
get the debt down and under control. There's a lot in the Queen's Speech | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
get the debt down and under control. which isn't relevant to Scotland | :07:10. | :07:10. | |
because of the devolved powers. A bit of a | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
damp squib all round really. The SNP set out its alternative programme. | :07:15. | :07:23. | |
It's Westminster leader thinks the speech should have offered more for | :07:24. | :07:24. | |
Scotland. This Queen's Speech have nothing to do with Scotland. It | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
is a missed opportunity to make changes, changes | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
to austerity, to boost growth. Boost growth. Exports, the economy - these | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
would have been good things, things the SNP proposed but unfortunately | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
the Tories aren't going to legislate on. | :07:42. | :07:41. | |
It is not long after the Queen's Speech that Westminster returns to | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
the business of politics. Over the next 12 | :07:49. | :07:48. | |
many of the issues discussed here will be of importance to Scotland. | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
But as Holyrood gets more powers And Nick joins me now | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
from Westminster, where a Tory MSP has written to the standards | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
watchdog there, calling for an investigation | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
into the expenses of two SNP Hosie, had relationships with a | :08:06. | :08:22. | |
female journalist. It's claimed that the journalist spent time in a | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
hotel, which Mr McNeill had claimed under | :08:26. | :08:25. | |
MPs' expenses. Under the rules here, MPs are | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
perfectly entitled to claim for overnight accommodation, up to ?150 | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
per night. There is no requirement for them to say who they were with. | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
But the Deputy Leader of the Scottish Conservative Party has | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
written to the Standards Commissioner saying that she should | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
look into these claims. He has also raised questions over Mr Hosie and | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
whether or not the woman spent time in accommodation funded | :08:55. | :08:55. | |
by the taxpayer with him. Tonight Mr McNeill issued a statement to the | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
BBC saying that all his expenses were | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
compliant with the rules. The SNP have also issued a pretty robust | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
statement, saying that the Conservatives are praying politics | :09:10. | :09:10. | |
with what are personal issues. One of the women accused | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
of murdering toddler Liam Fee has told a court that she never | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
assaulted the child and was in complete shock | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
when she realised he had died. But Nyomi Fee accepted that she'd | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
neglected him by not seeking medical Joanne Macaulay reports now | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
from the High Court in Livingston. of evidence from Nyomi Fee, seen | :09:29. | :09:49. | |
here on the right with partner and co accused Rachel Fee. | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
She herd screaming in his bedroom and when she went to investigate | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
another child said he had been standing on the toddler's leg and | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
had thrown him across the room. She said the boy | :10:06. | :10:06. | |
had his hands over Liam's mouth. The court heard | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
that Nyomi Fee had searched on the internet for advice on broken legs | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
and hips and she and Liam's mother had not taken the child to hospital | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
to seek medical attention. She was asked if | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
she agreed that would make her guilty of neglect. | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
She said yes. The prosecutor put it to her, | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
he was an in excruciating pain and you knew there was a risk of death | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
and you failed to get help. She replied, yes, that's right. He | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
said, you didn't care if you lived or died? She said, yes, di. He said, | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
but if you had cared, would have taken him to hospital. | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
Earlier Nyomi Fee's defence counsel asked about the day Liam died. She | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
said she found him looking white and lifeless but she denied there was | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
any delay in dialling 999. Mr Stuart asked: | :11:06. | :12:01. | |

There's been another rise in unemployment in Scotland, | :12:09. | :12:22. | |
with the Federation of Small Businesses describing it | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
as an "unsettling" development which should trigger an amber | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
Our business and economy editor, Douglas Fraser, is here | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
But in Scotland, 53,000 fewer than the end of last year. | :12:30. | :12:49. | |
They weren't all becoming unemployed. | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
The big growth was in the number of Scots counted as not | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
But there was a small rise in unemployment, | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
up 8,000 in Scotland, a drop of 6,000 across the rest of the UK. | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
The unemployment rate used to be close, it doesn't look that way now. | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
It's higher only in north-east England. | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
The downturn in oil and gas is a big factor affecting Scotland | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
Redundancies have led to new beginnings, as Kevin Keane reports. | :13:14. | :13:23. | |
Just dive in. The shifting sands of business world can produce some | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
Just dive in. The shifting sands of astonishing outcomes. While tens of | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
thousands are losing their jobs, entrepreneurs are cashing in on | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
ideas like this 3D mapping in a sandpit. It allows for talk to be | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
transferred... Tristan is a former then near who's developed this new | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
tool to speed up the process for drilling wells. He says the downturn | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
meant he was pushing on an open door. Drilling operators have that | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
opportunity to take innovation and try alternative techniques which | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
wouldn't necessarily have been so easy to have justified at $115 a | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
barrel. When the operation could easily be provided at a profitable | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
without needing alternative tech niece. At this social enterprise, | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
they helped over 1200 people get their business ideas off the ground | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
last year. 6% South help because they were facing redundancy. Here, | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
they believe it is a bigger change driving entrepreneurs. Scotland is | :14:25. | :14:32. | |
becoming better an introducing the concept of enTRONureship at an | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
earlier stage. We, as an organisation, have been engaging | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
particularly over the last five years, with schools, the local | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
college, universities. From small ideas flow big creations. | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
Supportingent menures is seen as vital for developing future | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
Supportingent menures is seen as business, supporting entrepreneurs. | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
is confidence for business investment and among consumers. | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
Shop sales last month down more than 3% on April last year. | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
and grocery sales were down less than 2%. | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
A chillier April was partly to blame. | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
According to retailers, fashion and footwear have been 'feeble' - | :15:11. | :15:12. | |
An 18-year-old has appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court, | :15:13. | :15:29. | |
after the death of a nurse, who was knocked down in the city. | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
Dylan Jenkin was charged with causing death by dangerous | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
driving, and failing to stop when signalled by police. | :15:35. | :15:36. | |
and the case was continued for further inquiry. | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
33-year-old Jill Pirrie was walking home from work at the Edinburgh | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
Royal Infirmary last Thursday evening when she was killed. | :15:44. | :16:10. | |
The fishing boat which sank off the Western Isles last month | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
Investigators have taken the unusual move to raise her from the sea. Then | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
followed a journey by barge, taking two days to bring the boat from the | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
western isles to a quiet boat yard on the Clyde. The boat was at anchor | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
in benign weather conditions when in the early hours of the morning the | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
crew woke to find her taking on water and was forced to abandon | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
ship. The 29-year-old, Martin Johnson, and Chris Morris son from | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
Stornoway day. Lachlan Armstrong managed to swim the 250 metres to | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
shore. He has spoken of the life raft failing to inflate and their | :16:53. | :16:54. | |
attempts to make it float. Searches for the skipper were still | :16:55. | :17:07. | |
taking place. Rescue and research teams combing the area. He's press | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
#50u78ed dead. We have a dive survey before everything's touched. Every | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
hatch and door will be documented whether it's open or closed. We'll | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
have a reflection of that on the bottom. After that initial survey | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
undertaken by divers, the crab catch has to be cleared and then | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
investigators can get to work. The areas we look at once we're able to | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
access the vessel will be the material state of the vessel, the | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
condition of the pipework, the condition of the hull, the interior | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
of the vessel and also the life raft and things which may have saved the | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
fishermen's lives when they had to abandon the vessel. The boat sank in | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
just 15 metres of water and was reasonably close to land. This is a | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
tragedy which poses many questions. Inspectors hope to be able to get on | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
board the boat within the next couple of days. Their initial | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
examinations should takes in the middle of next week. After that, | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
parts of the vessel could be removed for forensic examination. It will be | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
into the start of next year, however, before their report will be | :18:10. | :18:11. | |
ready and released. Let's get the latest | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
sport now with David. Celtic hope to decide who they want | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
as their new manager within a couple of days according to the club's | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
major shareholder Dermot Desmond. He's told the BBC, over half a dozen | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
people have been interviewed. But, tonight, there appears to be | :18:26. | :18:34. | |
a clear front-runner. Our Senior Football Reporter Chris | :18:35. | :18:36. | |
McLaughlin is at Celtic Park. A big name emerging? Yeah, tonight, | :18:37. | :18:48. | |
David, everything points towards Brendan Rodgers, the former Swansea | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
and Liverpool manager has been a name in the frame for this job for | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
some time. We understand he held talks with representatives from | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
Celtic yesterday. Lengthy negotiations for the second time. We | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
understand he has an obvious track record. Led Swansea from the English | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
championship to the Premiership. Finished second with Liverpool two | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
years ago. Let's hear from the man who will ultimately make the | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
decision. I wouldn't speculate on who's the person at that point in | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
time. All the people we've interviewed merit the job. How many | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
has the club interviewed at the moment? In excess of six. And | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
Brendan Rodgers one of those managers? I can't tell a lie! Give | :19:36. | :19:43. | |
us your thoughts of him as a manager, what he did at Liverpool | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
and Swansea football club? He's a great manager. Proved that at | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
Liverpool. I think that he's a worthy candidate for Celtic as all | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
the other candidates are. David, it's worth pointing out before | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
Dermot Desmond spoke today, Celtic released a statement saying they'd | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
no preferred candidate as yet. They were working through a long list. As | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
it stands, everything points towards Brendan Rodgers. Thank you very | :20:17. | :20:17. | |
much. A decision on whether women | :20:18. | :20:19. | |
golfers are to be admitted as members at Muirfield | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
will be announced tomorrow. The East Lothian course | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
is on the Open championship circuit, most recently hosting | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
the event in 2013. A two thirds majority is required | :20:28. | :20:29. | |
for the change to take place. Muirfield and Royal Troon | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
are the only venues with male-only membership policies | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
to regularly host the Open. The Glasgow Warriors head coach | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
Gregor Townsend believes his team are good enough and mentally tough | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
enough to reach the final of this The defending champions finished | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
third in this season's league meaning they must win a tough away | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
tie to have the chance Murrayfield, the home of Scottish | :20:55. | :21:06. | |
rugby. This season, the venue for the final of the pro-12 league. To | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
reach it, the only Scottish team in the play-offs will have to do what | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
no other team's managed in the history of the competition. And that | :21:16. | :21:22. | |
is to win an away semi-final. COMMENTATOR: Glasgow, the ball is | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
broken. Here they are looking for the winner. They've got it. As if | :21:26. | :21:34. | |
the burden of history isn't enough, Glasgow's opponents, Connacht, | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
haven't lost at home since accept. They play with a lot of passionate | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
home. The atmosphere is similar to gas glow. Really noisy. Tough for | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
referees. It is important the referee on the day is strong and not | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
influence by crowd noise. Our players stay strong as well. If | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
decisions go against us, we keep focussed. I have cupeling belief in | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
this group of players we can come back with a win. The Warriors didn't | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
manage that a week-and-a-half ago. Connacht beating them in the regular | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
season. There's no no doubt it is pretty magical at the sports ground. | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
But it's the one-off gapes now. We know they'll come back stronger. We | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
have to prepare so we can give it our best shot. We know how hard it | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
will be. It's a huge challenge to go over there. Also a great occasion | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
and opportunity. The Glasgow captain's had the opportunity to | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
psych out his opposite number from Connacht and vice versa. Now they're | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
taking it though, both having eyes only for the pro-12 trophy. That's | :22:48. | :22:49. | |
tonight's sport. A school in Aberdeen says the | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
introduction of Parkour into the curriculum is improving the | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
confidence and fitness of pupils. The extreme sport, which is also | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
known as "free running", has grown in popularity | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
since it was featured in films And it's making its way from | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
the street into the school yard. Fiona Stalker's been to find out | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
what the buzz is about. This is PE Bond-style. All about | :23:10. | :23:22. | |
movement of the body, going over objects rather than round them. | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
Pushing boundaries. Land hand strong and roll to the side. Parkour is now | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
part of the curriculum here at the Northfield Academy. Pupils have | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
grabbed it with both hands. It is great for their fitness. Their | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
fitness's has developed, strength, cardiofitness. The things which keep | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
them coming back is enjoyment. It is a change for them. They're used to | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
being told don't climb up there, you'll hurt yourself doing that. | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
They've been taught how to do it safely. Built from a basic level. | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
Now it is a case of encouraging them, try that, see if you can get | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
to the top of that. This climbing, jumping and running sport began in | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
France notice 1980s. It is now bursting through school gates, | :24:13. | :24:14. | |
flying into the playground and in gym halls. Parkour Scotland, the | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
organisation which promotes the sport say there's been a big | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
increase in participation in the last couple of years. The recent | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
uptake of parkour in schools is hugely welcome. Introducing the | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
sport to a whole new audience and they can't get enough. It's really | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
cool. It is a bill different from football and basketball, badminton | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
and netball. You get a rush. You don't know what's going to happen | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
next. You hope for the best, really. I've always admired parkourists. | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
Jumping across roofs, jumping off buildings. It's really scary but, | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
yet, you really do enjoy the thrill afterwards. And with every pupil in | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
the school now getting the chance to experience that thrill, parkour is | :25:02. | :25:03. | |
here to stay. Now just before the weather | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
