and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

Plummeting oil and gas revenues leave Scotland's economy nearly

:00:00.:00:07.

Nicola Sturgeon says continued growth onshore is the answer -

:00:08.:00:14.

the UK government says it shows Scotland is better off in the union.

:00:15.:00:23.

Claims that hundreds of families are being exploited by rogue

:00:24.:00:28.

We really felt quite helpless. You are just a simple porn and you

:00:29.:00:38.

cannot do anything about it. It just felt unfair to me that someone could

:00:39.:00:40.

do this and get away with it. We have the first of

:00:41.:00:43.

two special reports. Tributes are paid to the Scottish

soldier who died after being shot during a live firing

exercise in Northumberland. Celtic are bound for the grand stage

:00:50.:00:53.

of the Uefa Champions League. And Brendan Rodgers says

:00:54.:00:58.

Celtic's qualification for the Champions League is great

:00:59.:01:00.

for Scottish football. The Scottish government

:01:01.:01:15.

is spending nearly ?15 billion more than it's bringing

:01:16.:01:19.

in, in tax. In percentage terms it means

:01:20.:01:23.

the deficit here has climbed to more than twice the level of the UK

:01:24.:01:25.

as a whole. Much of the increase is as a result

:01:26.:01:28.

of falling oil revenues, but the figures are key

:01:29.:01:30.

in the constitutional debate. Those against independence claim

:01:31.:01:33.

it's a financial reality check, whilst pro-independence campaigners

:01:34.:01:37.

claim things would improve if Scotland was in charge

:01:38.:01:40.

of its own economy. We'll hear more on the political

:01:41.:01:45.

fall out from Brian Taylor in a moment, but first here's

:01:46.:01:49.

Douglas Fraser with the numbers. These numbers help us understand how

:01:50.:01:55.

much Scots pay in tax and how much So, in the year to April, Scots paid

:01:56.:01:58.

nearly ?54 billion in tax. Almost quarter of that

:01:59.:02:03.

was income tax. Nearly ?69 billion was spent

:02:04.:02:05.

on Scotland by national So the difference last year -

:02:06.:02:13.

nearly ?15 billion. More than a third of that spending

:02:14.:02:20.

was on pensions and benefits, Now, it's OK for government to run

:02:21.:02:25.

a deficit, but it has to be able The Treasury in London wants

:02:26.:02:30.

to lower the deficit that ballooned after the financial crash,

:02:31.:02:34.

and last year, it got to 4% In Scotland, the deficit was nearly

:02:35.:02:37.

10% of total economic output - more than twice the scale

:02:38.:02:49.

of the UK overspend. In Scotland, government spending

:02:50.:02:54.

was ?12,800 per head, while across the UK,

:02:55.:03:01.

the spend was ?1,200 lower. And what's going on to explain this

:03:02.:03:04.

rising deficit here, Most types of tax revenue keep

and profits plummeting, The results over time,

:03:22.:03:30.

look like this - a small UK surplus at the turn of the century,

:03:31.:03:35.

a deep worsening with the financial crash, and while austerity has

:03:36.:03:38.

driven the UK deficit towards 4%, the Scottish overspend

:03:39.:03:41.

has been getting worse. but of course these figures have

:03:42.:03:50.

been pounced on by those opposed to independence,

:03:51.:03:56.

Brian Taylor, what's been The reaction has been intriguing. It

:03:57.:04:08.

depends on your stance. This is about sums, but it has been

:04:09.:04:13.

political from the outset from the early days when it was deployed by a

:04:14.:04:19.

conservative Scottish office, against devolved self-governance.

:04:20.:04:23.

But today, the argument features Independence and also Brexit.

:04:24.:04:28.

Cutting the cloth to suit, Nicola Sturgeon at Mitsubishi challenging

:04:29.:04:35.

figures. But relies on the growth onshore, like this leather factory

:04:36.:04:39.

in Glasgow which winds global orders from airlines and others. The

:04:40.:04:44.

message of these figures is, the low oil price and tax cuts to support

:04:45.:04:50.

the industry has had an impact. But the fundamentals of the Scottish

:04:51.:04:56.

economy are sound and strong. It has grown by more than the fall in oil

:04:57.:05:00.

revenues. Let's make sure we have the best environment to continue to

:05:01.:05:04.

grow our economy and that is why I am worried about Brexit, because it

:05:05.:05:08.

will make the task so much more difficult. But onshore growth was

:05:09.:05:13.

almost wiped out by a sharp fall in the North Sea tax take. Dry

:05:14.:05:20.

statistics which mask human costs. Myself, like thousands of others,

:05:21.:05:23.

hundreds and thousands of others around the world lost our jobs. I

:05:24.:05:27.

was made redundant at the end of May. It was fantastic work, over the

:05:28.:05:35.

years I learned so much and enjoyed working with many interesting

:05:36.:05:37.

people. Then it came to an end, which was a big surprise. But after

:05:38.:05:44.

decade in the oil industry, both Roberts and Russell are retraining

:05:45.:05:47.

as teachers through this initiative in Aberdeen. Everyone wants growth

:05:48.:05:52.

onshore and off, but the Scottish Secretary said it was time to forget

:05:53.:05:57.

independence. We have got the very challenging prospect in negotiating

:05:58.:06:01.

Brexit. We need to get the best possible deal for Scotland and the

:06:02.:06:07.

rest of the United Kingdom. But what these figures confirm, is the really

:06:08.:06:11.

important union for everybody in Scotland is the union with the rest

:06:12.:06:15.

of the United Kingdom, rather than being part of the European Union. No

:06:16.:06:21.

one is giving up on the North Sea, but with Scotland still in the red,

:06:22.:06:23.

the aim is to diversify and grow. How will these figures be wielded in

:06:24.:06:32.

the debates about independence and about independence in Europe,

:06:33.:06:36.

potentially? It is about both and its substantial element in those

:06:37.:06:41.

two. European Union rules says a member state should keep its deficit

:06:42.:06:48.

below 3% of face possible sanctions. Scotland's deficit is 10%. Nicola

:06:49.:06:53.

Sturgeon shrugs that. She said these figures are not the starting point

:06:54.:06:57.

for independence, not the point to which Scotland would move towards.

:06:58.:07:01.

There would be different calculations, the allocation of debt

:07:02.:07:05.

with the UK Government. This was not how Scotland would look under

:07:06.:07:10.

independence. European Union members, European Union officials

:07:11.:07:14.

can see like everyone else, that Scotland's economy was fundamentally

:07:15.:07:17.

strong. And she said she wasn't seeking to apply a renewed European

:07:18.:07:25.

Union membership, she was trying to hold onto the existing membership.

:07:26.:07:30.

All of which is a case she is making very strongly. Just to add or borrow

:07:31.:07:37.

the word she used, economically the future for Scotland looks

:07:38.:07:38.

challenging. An investigation by BBC Scotland has

:07:39.:07:42.

revealed that some of the most vulnerable people in Scotland

:07:43.:07:45.

are being exploited by rogue landlords in the midst

:07:46.:07:47.

of the First Minister's constituency And that some landlords

:07:48.:07:50.

are continuing to work in the Govanhill area of Glasgow

:07:51.:07:52.

despite being officially struck off. Our political correspondent

:07:53.:07:55.

Lucy Adams has the first in a series Here in the heart of Nicola

:07:56.:08:04.

Sturgeon's constituency, communities and cultures come together to create

:08:05.:08:09.

a neighbourhood unlike any other. Decades of immigration from Ireland,

:08:10.:08:12.

south Asia and Eastern Europe have shaped Govanhill. Its problems can

:08:13.:08:18.

be found in other Scottish cities, so what, if anything, makes this

:08:19.:08:24.

place different? It has always been an area that attracted migrants, new

:08:25.:08:30.

Glaswegians. It has always been a welcoming area. It has always been a

:08:31.:08:34.

reasonably priced area to buy property in, if you were a

:08:35.:08:39.

first-time buyer. Over the years, it has changed more into private rented

:08:40.:08:45.

and I think that is where people, some of the landlords, not all, but

:08:46.:08:49.

a lot of them are not willing to invest in the structure of the

:08:50.:08:54.

property. Overcrowding and neglect have taken their toll, leading the

:08:55.:08:59.

council and Scottish Government to launch a unique ?10 million project

:09:00.:09:03.

to buy out properties from the worst landlords and take them into public

:09:04.:09:08.

ownership. As you can see, this flat has been affected with rot, and we

:09:09.:09:14.

are finding a number of properties like this. Govanhill Housing

:09:15.:09:19.

Association is using the money to transform tenements. This

:09:20.:09:31.

corner is at the heart of that project, aimed at tackling

:09:32.:09:35.

regeneration and landlords. But the BBC has learned that almost half of

:09:36.:09:38.

the properties bought were from those who already owned the flat

:09:39.:09:40.

they lived in, the very people the project hoped to keep. The question

:09:41.:09:43.

is, whether this project in its current format is really working. It

:09:44.:09:47.

wasn't the plan. The Housing act was flawed because it didn't include

:09:48.:09:51.

compulsory purchase orders. The idea was to attack the rogue landlords,

:09:52.:09:57.

bringing down the area. Without the compulsory purchase orders, and to

:09:58.:10:05.

achieve the targets, they are turning to people who want to sell

:10:06.:10:11.

just to move out. Was the aim to buy up so many owner occupied

:10:12.:10:15.

properties? I don't think it necessarily was. But if it is within

:10:16.:10:20.

the target area and it adds to what we are trying to do, we will support

:10:21.:10:28.

but going forward. There are eight properties close, you need to have

:10:29.:10:34.

five. It enables you to manage the block. As the housing project

:10:35.:10:40.

continues in Govanhill, the BBC has learned a number of rogue landlords

:10:41.:10:45.

are continuing to practice, despite being deregistered. And a number of

:10:46.:10:50.

cases are not being pursued because witnesses are too afraid to speak

:10:51.:10:58.

up. So, who are these landlords? This man was deregistered as a

:10:59.:11:02.

landlord in May after taking ?7,000 worth of deposits from tenants. His

:11:03.:11:07.

letting agency was dissolved earlier this year, but the BBC has learned

:11:08.:11:12.

the business in Govanhill has stayed open. He has now been reported to

:11:13.:11:17.

prosecutors for alleged fraud, theft and acting as a landlord while

:11:18.:11:23.

unregistered. This man paid almost ?1400 up front to him for a flat he

:11:24.:11:29.

never set foot inside. The student from Bulgaria, one court case

:11:30.:11:33.

against him, but still hasn't got his money back. We felt quite

:11:34.:11:39.

helpless. You are just a simple pawn and you cannot do anything about it.

:11:40.:11:43.

It just felt unfair to me that someone could do this and get away

:11:44.:11:49.

with it for so long. He told the BBC he denies the charges and is

:11:50.:11:54.

appealing his deregistration. Hundreds of families each year have

:11:55.:11:58.

suffered from scams by a range of landlords and from housing beneath a

:11:59.:12:03.

tolerable standard. The worst ones are the ones where children are

:12:04.:12:07.

involved. New babies not having hot water, you just can't have that. You

:12:08.:12:12.

hear the stories about children with bedbugs and these landlords just

:12:13.:12:15.

raking it in and making this money on the back of exploiting someone.

:12:16.:12:21.

It is incredulous, there are these organisations working against it and

:12:22.:12:26.

so slow to bring it to justice. Much is being done in this extraordinary

:12:27.:12:30.

neighbourhood to kick-start regeneration, but for now, children

:12:31.:12:33.

continue to live in substandard housing, while so-called rogue

:12:34.:12:35.

landlords reap the profits. Tributes have been paid

:12:36.:12:42.

to a soldier who was shot dead during a training exercise

:12:43.:12:45.

in Northumberland on Monday. He's been named as 24-year-old

:12:46.:12:47.

Private Conor McPherson from Paisley who was a member

:12:48.:12:49.

of The Black Watch and based at Fort George in the Highlands,

:12:50.:12:52.

from where Jackie O'Brien reports. Private Conor McPherson from Paisley

:12:53.:13:01.

was killed during night-time training at a firing range within

:13:02.:13:06.

the vast Otterburn training area in Northumberland. The young soldier

:13:07.:13:10.

was shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene. In a tribute to

:13:11.:13:14.

the 24-year-old, his commanding officer in The Black Watch battalion

:13:15.:13:16.

said... But his troupe rationed his third

:13:17.:13:29.

was to his parents and sister and was part of a very close-knit

:13:30.:13:35.

family. It is tragic for his family, friends and colleagues at Fort

:13:36.:13:39.

George, who are brave men and women in the Armed Forces who put their

:13:40.:13:42.

lives at risk every day. Sometimes when they are on combat missions you

:13:43.:13:47.

can be prepared for the difficult phone call or difficult

:13:48.:13:49.

announcement. But when it is a training exercise it is even worse

:13:50.:13:53.

for the people with him at the time and his family who have now lost a

:13:54.:13:59.

loved one. The Black Watch soldiers seen here during a recent royal

:14:00.:14:02.

visit left there for George base last week in these new armoured

:14:03.:14:06.

vehicles to take part in the exercise, Wessex storm. They have

:14:07.:14:10.

stopped that Otterburn for life firing practice on routes to

:14:11.:14:15.

Salisbury Plain. Outside for George today, life goes on as normal, as

:14:16.:14:21.

tourists continue to visit this old fortification. Within these walls

:14:22.:14:26.

where The Black Watch battalion is based, there will be sadness and

:14:27.:14:30.

shock over the tragic death of a fellow soldier. These guys come in,

:14:31.:14:35.

they are not far away from the village. It is devastating news. The

:14:36.:14:42.

Army have a lot of questions to answer, why was this allowed to

:14:43.:14:48.

happen on a training exercise. A major investigation is continuing to

:14:49.:14:52.

establish exactly what did happen on Monday night, but at this stage,

:14:53.:14:56.

Northumbria Police said they believed the soldier's death was a

:14:57.:14:58.

tragic accident. The Deputy First Minister has

:14:59.:15:02.

criticised the owners of the oil rig that ran aground on the West Coast

:15:03.:15:05.

of Lewis for transporting The Transocean Winner is now towed

:15:06.:15:08.

to Broad Bay on the island's other Huw Williams watched

:15:09.:15:12.

the rig's progress. This phase of the story is coming to

:15:13.:15:27.

an end. The Transocean Winner has been under tow since high tide on

:15:28.:15:33.

Monday night, but problems with the structure listing in the water means

:15:34.:15:37.

it has had to be towed a much slower than planned and so the journey has

:15:38.:15:42.

taken longer than originally predicted. Broadway should provide a

:15:43.:15:47.

more sheltered anchorage for it than the beach on the west side of Lewis

:15:48.:15:52.

where it originally ran aground. Tonight the Scottish government are

:15:53.:15:56.

asking why it was even at sea just over two weeks ago when such bad

:15:57.:16:02.

weather had been widely predicted? The transport connections were

:16:03.:16:05.

significantly restricted that we can and it was obvious from the Met

:16:06.:16:09.

Office warnings there was going to be a significant storm to contain

:16:10.:16:14.

with. There is a duty of care on those responsible presiding over

:16:15.:16:19.

these operators, principally the owners, to decide whether it was

:16:20.:16:23.

wise to undertake this operation. The plan is to spend the next three

:16:24.:16:28.

weeks assessing the structure of the rig and whether any temporary

:16:29.:16:32.

repairs are needed before experts decide what to do next. The Marine

:16:33.:16:37.

Accident Investigation Branch has already begun its inquiry, but there

:16:38.:16:42.

are wider political questions. Should their once again be an

:16:43.:16:47.

emergency tug based at Stornoway? These questions will not go away any

:16:48.:16:49.

These questions will not go away any time soon.

:16:50.:16:51.

Syrian officials have appealed to Scotland,

:16:52.:16:53.

to help save the ancient city of Palmyra.

:16:54.:16:55.

Many of the famous Syrian monuments were destroyed

:16:56.:16:57.

Now the city's been retaken, the country's chief curator's come

:16:58.:17:01.

to a cultural summit in Edinburgh to call for international help.

:17:02.:17:04.

Palmyra's monuments are nearly 2000 years old. These were a global

:17:05.:17:19.

tourist attraction before Syria's Civil War. This is a Roman temple of

:17:20.:17:27.

Bal. Look at it now. Isis militia destroyed many sites because they

:17:28.:17:34.

were symbols of idolatry. Behind this we have geological extremism.

:17:35.:17:42.

What happened in Syria under control of Isis, including in Palmeiro, it

:17:43.:17:48.

was a disastrous situation. His colleague and 14 other curators have

:17:49.:17:51.

been killed protecting their cultural heritage. Each day I have

:17:52.:18:03.

bad news about destruction, not only of the cultural heritage, but the

:18:04.:18:07.

difficulty for other life, but we refused to leave Syria for this

:18:08.:18:13.

reason. Palmyra has been recaptured and there are plans to rebuild. The

:18:14.:18:18.

professor has come to Edinburgh to seek international help and stop the

:18:19.:18:22.

black market in looted artefacts. We need contacts, expertise, because we

:18:23.:18:32.

have a lot of traffic in coming from that area. He is seeking expert

:18:33.:18:39.

support from the area and beyond so that one day these wonders can be

:18:40.:18:40.

restored. The Scottish Government's

:18:41.:18:43.

controversial named person policy will not be rolled out on the last

:18:44.:18:45.

day of August as planned. The Education Secretary John Swinney

:18:46.:18:48.

says changes need to be made after the Supreme Court ruled last

:18:49.:18:51.

month that some proposals breach The system would appoint a named

:18:52.:18:53.

person for every child The contenders for the leadership

:18:54.:18:57.

of the UK Labour Party will be making their pitches

:18:58.:19:02.

to Scottish members tomorrow. So how's the debate

:19:03.:19:06.

shaping in Scotland? We've sent our political

:19:07.:19:08.

correspondent Nick The banks of the Clyde in Greenock,

:19:09.:19:18.

an imposing reminder of Scotland's industrial past. Once safe Labour

:19:19.:19:24.

territory, now represented by the SNP. The logo label party you

:19:25.:19:30.

support a Jeremy Corbyn last year, but this time it is split. Some

:19:31.:19:35.

think he is still the right man for the job, but others think there

:19:36.:19:39.

needs to be a change of leadership to arrest the decline. These local

:19:40.:19:43.

members are backing Owen Smith. Christine Boyd never thought Mr

:19:44.:19:49.

Corbyn was the right man, and James, who did, has now changed his mind.

:19:50.:19:54.

We need hope, energy and ambition to show that Labour is fighting and can

:19:55.:19:59.

win again. And there when Smith is the man for that? That is what we

:20:00.:20:04.

believe. I have been a Labour Party member for 30 years and regardless

:20:05.:20:08.

of the outcome I will still be a member at the end of this process.

:20:09.:20:12.

Siobhan McCreadie was the first Labour candidate to lose her vote

:20:13.:20:18.

here and she disagrees. She thinks Jeremy Corbyn can win back Scotland

:20:19.:20:19.

for Labour. Every day I get people Jeremy Corbyn can win back Scotland

:20:20.:20:24.

who have been in the union for a Jeremy Corbyn can win back Scotland

:20:25.:20:29.

number of years and who are totally disinterested, but they are coming

:20:30.:20:34.

back on a daily basis. The party he narrowly nominated Mr Smith, but

:20:35.:20:40.

they are in the minority. From the local parties in Scotland who have

:20:41.:20:44.

picked a horse in this race, the majority are backing Jeremy Corbyn.

:20:45.:20:49.

But UK wide Jeremy Corbyn's lead over his challenger is far higher.

:20:50.:20:55.

We picked up nominations that were previously with Yvette Cooper and

:20:56.:20:58.

Andy Burnham, so very strong levels of support. The race has split the

:20:59.:21:05.

top team in Scottish Labour. There have been rumours of a split in the

:21:06.:21:09.

UK party, could there be one in Scotland? When you believe in the

:21:10.:21:14.

Labour Party, you believe in the collective. I hear a lot of talk

:21:15.:21:18.

about that and everybody is committed to the cause of labour.

:21:19.:21:24.

How to change the direction of Labour's electoral support could be

:21:25.:21:26.

In football, Celtic will find out tomorrow which teams they'll face

:21:27.:21:31.

They qualified for European club football's most prestigious

:21:32.:21:35.

competition after a four aggregate play-off win over Hapoel

:21:36.:21:37.

He says it was the most nerve wracking 90 minutes of his career in

:21:38.:21:54.

management, watching his team full two goals behind. If they had lost

another, their Champions League dream was over for another season.

:22:06.:22:13.

Little wonder joy was unconfined, Celtic through by the skin of their

:22:14.:22:19.

teeth. It was an amazing effort by the plays on the back of everything

:22:20.:22:26.

we have been through before. Huge applause to them and I am delighted

:22:27.:22:31.

we got the reward. Reaching the Champions League has financial

:22:32.:22:35.

rewards as well, qualifying worth an estimated ?30 million. The manager

:22:36.:22:40.

might want some of that upfront and quick to improve the squad. He is

:22:41.:22:44.

still assessing players at the moment, he needs to get more in.

:22:45.:22:49.

Going into the Champions League you do not want to embarrass yourself,

:22:50.:22:54.

you need a strong squad. Tomorrow the draw will reveal which three

:22:55.:22:58.

clubs will be arriving along Celtic way. One of these European giants

:22:59.:23:03.

could be among them. Barcelona, Bayern Munich and the defending

:23:04.:23:08.

champions real Madrid. A lot of the fans would like to see Real Madrid

:23:09.:23:13.

here because they have Barcelona and Manchester United, top-class teams

:23:14.:23:18.

in the past years. Madrid is yet to visit here and the stars they have

:23:19.:23:21.

got, it would be a special night if they were to come. It will be 50

:23:22.:23:28.

years since Billy McNeill the Celtic captain lifted the European cup in

:23:29.:23:35.

May. Nobody is suggesting they will win it this season, but that will

:23:36.:23:36.

not stop supporters from dreaming. It has been five years

:23:37.:23:37.

in the making and has cost more than ?30 million, but

Scotland's new Sports Performance centre is about

to other places in the country, it is up there with them. The Scottish

:24:24.:24:32.

will use this facility for all their national games, but it is not just

:24:33.:24:38.

about football. Rugby, netball, basketball, squash and racquetball

:24:39.:24:43.

will all use this facility, and in particular the high-performance

ring. Each individual athlete will get their own space. If you are in

:24:47.:24:52.

the gym with the public, it would be difficult to get the equipment and

:24:53.:24:56.

move around and it will help us become more professional. We want to

:24:57.:25:02.

become professional athletes. It is not all about elite sports men and

brilliant, the pitch is massive, I am impressed. The sports science and

There is an expectancy of improved results on the field of play. We are

Now, let's get the weather. It was a lovely day across the vast majority

:26:03.:26:17.

of the country. There was some stubborn cloud in the North East and

:26:18.:26:22.

in the Western Isles and Northern Isles, but foremost we had guys like

:26:23.:26:27.

that. To end the day, lovely spells of late sunshine. The cloud will

:26:28.:26:33.

build in Central and eastern parts of the country, but it is mild

:26:34.:26:37.

overnight with temperatures holding in double digits. Tomorrow

:26:38.:26:41.

low-pressure nearby and a weather front in England produces heavy

:26:42.:26:47.

outbreaks of rain, but we are in between and we should escape. It is

:26:48.:26:52.

cloudy tomorrow compared to today, the best of the sunshine in the

:26:53.:26:56.

West. The rain in the North of England perhaps coming into the

:26:57.:27:01.

Borders. A few light showers in the Western Isles, but that wet weather

:27:02.:27:07.

should stay away. Another dry day, the lion's share of the sunshine in

:27:08.:27:12.

the West. Cooler where we have the cloud, but in the sunshine 20 or 21.

:27:13.:27:18.

Across the Western Isles a chance of a few light showers. As we head

:27:19.:27:25.

through the afternoon and into the evening the rain clears away,

:27:26.:27:27.

perhaps brushing through the Borders. Low-pressure as we head

:27:28.:27:33.

through towards Friday producing a few showers for the Highlands and

:27:34.:27:35.

through towards Friday producing a Islands, but for most of the country

:27:36.:27:40.

it is another dry and fine day. The highest temperatures in eastern

:27:41.:27:44.

parts. In the West the cloud will break. On the face of it Saturday

:27:45.:27:52.

looks fine and dry with sunshine, but take a look to the south of the

:27:53.:27:55.

border and what is lurking and you will see a rather large area of

:27:56.:28:05.

rain. It is likely to come our way. If you have planned this weekend,

:28:06.:28:11.

stay tuned to the forecast. Is it from us, goodbye.
