Here, on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Scotland is to receive an extra ?350 million, | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
Philip Hammond also announced measures to support | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
But the Scottish government says despite today's funding boost | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
there's been almost ?3 billion worth of cuts to the Scottish budget | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
Here's our political correspondent, David Porter. | :00:20. | :00:33. | |
The clock is ticking and the pace of events is speeding up. Today, it is | :00:34. | :00:41. | |
all about the numbers but like everything in politics at the | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
moment, this is a budget that has to be seen through the prism of Brexit | :00:45. | :00:52. | |
and what it could mean for Scotland. For the Chancellor, the first | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
opportunity to pose with the red budget box outside number 11 Downing | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
St. Once in the Commons, a very direct message to Scotland and | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
Scots. Our announcements today deliver on it -- additional funding | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
of ?350 million for the Scottish Government. Cheers from his own | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
side. From the nationalist benches opposite, a muted reaction. In | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Edinburgh, ministers were not so impressed. In the context of ?2.9 | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
billion worth of production since the Tories came into office, it is a | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
production overall in terms of what we would have had. But it is a drop | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
in the ocean to the resources that we could have had. At Westminster, | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
to coincide with the budget, and International woman's Day, a noisy | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
protest by female pensioners who say they have been unfairly treated. | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
Likewise opposition parties were less than condiment tree of the | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
Chancellor 's handiwork. He did not mention Brexit, the biggest | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
influence in generations. A damp squib of a budget. There is nothing | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
to help living standards in Scotland and across the rest of the UK. We | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
always knew this was going to be a difficult budget because the | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
Chancellor does not have much spare cash. It became apparent today that | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
he has no ideas and no ambition. Although few overt references to | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
Brexit, it's clear the message the Chancellor wants to get across. Our | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
United Kingdom has a proud history. We have done remarkable things | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
together. But we look forward, not backwards, confident that our | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
greatest achievements are ahead of us. In the shadow of Big Ben, a | :02:44. | :02:53. | |
piper plays. This time many for the benefit of the tourists. With Brexit | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
talks due to start soon, not everything in the future might be as | :02:59. | :02:59. | |
harmonious. Our business and economy editor | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
Douglas Fraser has been looking at the impact on Scotland's | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
finances. How will it play down at the dog and | :03:07. | :03:18. | |
duck? That is one key question for any budget. Making a further ?100 | :03:19. | :03:27. | |
million of capital available immediately for new tree arch | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
Project at English hospitals. Philip Hammond isn't just UK Chancellor, he | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
is Finance Minister Foderingham. But how does it all translate to | :03:39. | :03:48. | |
Scotland? It only partly mitigates the cuts that were already on the | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
way. How is he going to pay for that? By raiding the income of | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
self-employed people and in Scotland, that is one in eight | :03:57. | :04:06. | |
workers. The rise in national Insurance for those above low play | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
with the coupe is to bring them into line with employees but it is far | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
from welcome. It makes it much more difficult to justify becoming | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
self-employed. The government to not understand the benefit to the wider | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
economy of having self-employed flexible workforce where businesses | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
can bring in help and resources for short periods of time which | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
ultimately helps employers expand their business and actually take on | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
more people. The Chancellor repeated his intention to help draw more | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
investment into oil and gas. Though no decisions yet. By taking away | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
this barrier we have highlighted we think it will encourage assets to | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
transfer more effectively and we know that when that happens, we will | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
see more investment and activity being stimulated. And more | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
development drilling. That leads into more production later on. And | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
what wasn't spelled-out today, cuts to welfare, previously announced, | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
soon to bite. The big picture, the economic outlook is not as bad as | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
feared last year but is the pain being delayed? It is still very | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
uncertain. If you look at what has been driving growth, it has been | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
about what is happening in consumption but other levels of | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
investment and greater stability still remain relatively fragile. We | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
are still very much in the wait territory. The main theme from | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
Philip Hammond, uncertainty and caution as governments and economy | :05:41. | :05:41. | |
face up to the Brexit challenges Police say they're confident | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
that the body of missing airman, Corrie McKeague, will be found | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
at a landfill site The 23-year-old disappeared last | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
September after a night out in the nearby town of Bury St | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
Edmonds. It's now known that a bin lorry | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
which collected rubbish from where he was last seen | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
was carrying a significantly heavier Slowly and methodically, specially | :05:57. | :06:13. | |
trained officers carefully rake through waste, mindful that just | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
feet below them could lie the remains of Corrie McKeague. Nearby, | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
a digger waits to come -- collected after each search. To search this | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
area, we are using the digger to draw out the waste, to lay it out on | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
the ground carefully. Katie Elliott from Suffolk police has led a | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
five-month investigation. She is confident her team will find Corrie | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
McKeague the year. This landfill site is massive. Police have said up | :06:41. | :06:53. | |
a compound for the search teams. This is the last image of the | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
23-year-old airman in the early hours of the 24th of September. He | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
went missing from this area of Bury St Edmonds, a rubbish lorry made a | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
collection from here within an hour of his disappearance. The last | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
movements of his mobile phone coincided with the route the lorry | :07:10. | :07:19. | |
took to the landfill. It is not the agony of not knowing, because when | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
you don't know, you can still believe that they are alive. The | :07:23. | :07:32. | |
agony is when you do know... We had just got to find him first. Police | :07:33. | :07:40. | |
say the error over the weight was made by the waste company who | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
provided the data but they say there was no intention to mislead the | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
investigation. Had the least known at the outset about the true weight | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
of the bin, how different would this investigation have been? But also, | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
why did it take more than five months for this fact to emerge and | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
if Corrie McKeague was in that bin, how could a body be taken to a land | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
full like this and for no one to have noticed? It bothers me, of | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
course it bothers me that somebody... Is that is what has | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
happened, then we need to understand how that has happened and to | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
understand the circumstances of what happened. In five months, police | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
only made one arrest. Last week they arrested a man on suspicion of | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
attempting to convert the course of justice. A second man was also | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
caution. All eyes are now focused on this landfill site near Cambridge. | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
Corrie McKeague 's family are praying for the best but are now | :08:45. | :08:45. | |
more than prepared for the worst. Police are understood to be looking | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
into whether the death of a 14-year-old boy in Fife was linked | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
to prescription drugs Liam McAlpine was found at home | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
in Glenrothes on Sunday. A number of youth football | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
clubs have been suspended from their leagues due | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
to their coaches not having It follows the Scottish Youth | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
Football Association's promise to tighten up procedures | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
after our investigation found thousands of coaches were working | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
without the necessary disclosure. Earlier I spoke to our Senior | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
Football Reporter, Chris McLaughlin. Following on from our investigation | :09:14. | :09:27. | |
last year, they found two and a half thousand coaches were working in | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
Scotland in youth football without the necessary background checks. | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
They said OK, you have until the 28th of February to get your house | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
in dash into order. Let's have a look at some figures given that | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
deadline has now passed. 488 coaches have now been suspended. The fallout | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
from that is that 18 clubs have now been kicked out of the league. That | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
is actually a revised figure. I was told earlier it was 20. We believe | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
around 350 children will be impacted, basically meaning that | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
around 350 children who should have had a game of football this weekend | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
will not have a game of football this weekend. Who is to blame, that | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
is the question? They have got to get their house in order and that is | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
what they are doing with the actions they have taken. We have to look at | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
the SFA because they are the government body for football in | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
Scotland and that is where we need to be looking at, good governance | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
and good anticipatory action from them. The Association released a | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
statement disabling saying it is disappointing but player safety is | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
the number one priority. I did speak to one chairman of a club this | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
evening and he said the association is to blame in his opinion. He said | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
they cannot deal with the backlog and honest coaches are being | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
suspended and it is extremely unfair. | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
MSPs have defeated the Scottish government in a vote on education. | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
Parliament backed a Labour motion describing the SNP's stewardship | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
of education as "failing teachers, parents and pupils" | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
The SNP has not had an overall majority at Holyrood | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
It has also lost votes this month on NHS recruitment and university | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
Thank you. And a very good evening to you. We saw plenty of showers | :11:10. | :11:30. | |
rattling through today but we did see some brighter interludes. Rain | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
for a time tonight and it will be windy. It is tied in with this | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
weather front crossing the country, bringing outbreaks of rain. It | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
sweeps away fairly quickly. Tomorrow morning, we are left with the legacy | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
of Cloud initially. Something brighter coming through at times but | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
also a few showers across eastern Scotland. There will be the odd | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
shower. And then the start of something brighter coming through. | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
Some showers across northern areas. It will still be quite breezy across | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
Orkney and Shetland. The rest of the day is improving. Showers dying | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
away. Scattered with lighter winds. Temperature is not bad either. Nine | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
or 10 Celsius in the sunshine. A pleasant feeling spring day. And | :12:21. | :12:29. | |
that goes for the rest of the UK. Good sunny spells. Temperatures | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
looking quite warm across the Farsala. 14 or 15 across the London | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
area. Some cloud coming into the far south-west later in the day. Back | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
home in Scotland, it is still a dry end to the day. Plenty of sunshine | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
as we head towards dusk as well. These conditions will lead to a dry | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
night with fairly lengthy clear spells across northern Scotland. | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
Quite a widespread frost. A touch of frost in the south and then another | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
change coming our way on Friday, as you can see. Starting off largely | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
dry but outbreaks of rain eventually. It will be wet across | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
western Scotland initially. Rather murky conditions. Shetland does stay | :13:16. | :13:23. | |
dry. All in all, a rather dull and damp day with hints of bright | :13:24. | :13:24. | |
weather. That is your forecast. Our next update is during Breakfast | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
at 6:25 tomorrow morning. | :13:28. | :13:31. |
