Scotland's political leaders have declared their determination | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
to maintain democratic freedom in the face of terror. | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
They were speaking at Holyrood, as more details emerged of | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
Here's our political editor Brian Taylor. | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
Shuffling just a little self-consciously, MSPs | :00:27. | :00:27. | |
prepare for a minute's silent and solidarity. | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
The event consciously timed to coincide with a similar | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
This shocking event should serve to remind us of the importance | :00:36. | :00:47. | |
of holding firm to our humanity and defending our democracy. | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
The First Minister arrived for questions knowing that all had | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
Above all, we stand in solidarity with London, a vibrant, diverse, | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
wonderful city that will never be cowed by mindless acts of violence. | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
Terrorists seek to undermine our values and destroy our way of life. | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
Whatever our disagreements, in this chamber or any other, | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
we stand united in our core values of democracy, human rights | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
These values are strong, and they will endure. | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
Rivals applauded each other, determined to project | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
The First Minister stressed there was no intelligence suggesting | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
a specific threat to Scotland, and she urged vigilance | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
That response does involve a substantial uplift | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
in armed officers on duty, and also a configuration | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
of resources to ensure that there has been a high-profile | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
non-armed police presence across the country. | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
Ruth Davidson praised the police and security services | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
Yesterday a coward killed three innocent people and injured many | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
more in an attempt to attack the symbol of our | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
His attack on our values failed as he died, while paramedics | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
demonstrated what our civilised society is as they | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
And also it warned that there should be no backlash against Muslims. | :02:21. | :02:34. | |
This cannot and must not turn into a war on any one community. | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
Bringing people together must be part of the solution | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
The lasting injury that some people wish to inflict upon us | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
all is to destroy the empathy and solidarity which our society | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
depends upon, so we must all be united in expressing and building | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
that empathy and solidarity, in particular challenging those | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
who would seek to blame, stigmatise and alienate people | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
Nicola Sturgeon vigorously endorsed that, reflecting | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
Finally, Willie Rennie recalled his time as an MP walking | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
to work over Westminster Bridge, then a scene of splendour, yesterday | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
I don't think I will be able to walk that route again without thinking | :03:19. | :03:28. | |
The three people who died, perhaps some were tourists taking pictures. | :03:29. | :03:38. | |
Parliament moved to debate other topics, hospitals, | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
care of the elderly, mundane, yes, defiantly so. | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
A determination to maintain democracy, to carry on. | :03:50. | :04:04. | |
Today's tributes at Holyrood reflected events at Westminster, | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
where MPs returned to the House of Commons after yesterday's attack. | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
Here's our political correspondent Nick Eardley. | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
Westminster was quiet this afternoon. | :04:16. | :04:29. | |
But this city has faced attack before, and always | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
got back to business, with heavy hearts, but defiant. | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
A minute's silence from politicians, followed by calls for unity. | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
As generations have done before us and as future generations | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
No terrorist outrage is representative of any faith | :04:55. | :05:06. | |
or of any faith community, and we recommit ourselves | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
to strengthening the bonds of tolerance and understanding. | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
Cherishing what happened here yesterday, with staff coming | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
together who were terrified and frightened, all supporting each | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
other, and that in itself is a way to say to terrorism that it | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
Defiance in tribute, but also reflection, | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
on the innocent victims and how Westminster starts to move on. | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
The sister of a police officer, who none of us really know | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
what they have to go out to do everyday in a uniform, | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
and the sad fact is that somebody lost their life yesterday predicting | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
so that we can come back to work today. | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
What has been really heartening the support there has been, | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
and the fact that we have gone back to work today, and carried | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
on as normal, and that means that anybody who seeks to bring down | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
On the day, people are very determined, often very calm, | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
and there is quite a lot of camaraderie looking outreach | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
other, but it is often the next day and the days after that that it | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
sinks in, and certainly what you could see today was that | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
people were almost more shaken today than yesterday, because the | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
different what if scenarios started to run through people's minds. | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
Tonight, some of the streets around the centre of British | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
A political village under wider city getting back | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
to business, hurting, yes, cowed, no. | :06:29. | :06:37. | |
A pilot who admitted preparing to fly a passenger jet | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
from Glasgow Airport to America while more than double the legal | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
alcohol limit has been jailed for ten months. | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
He's the second member of the plane's crew to be jailed. | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
Willie Johnston reports from Paisley Sheriff Court. | :06:51. | :07:00. | |
The pilot here after his arrest last summer, along | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
with fellow United Airines pilot Carlos. | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
They were due to fly a Boeing 747 with a passengers on board | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
from Glasgow to Newark on the 27th of August last year. | :07:08. | :07:15. | |
They arrived at the airport early in the morning | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
Security staff smell alcohol on the pilot's breath, | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
Police removed them both from the flight. | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
The co-pilot was seven times over the legal limit flying | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
and was jailed for ten months seven two weeks ago. | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
Today Paul Grebenc was also jailed after admitting intending to fly | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
The test found 42 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. | :07:38. | :07:47. | |
Passing sentence, the judge said there were mitigating circumstances, | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
including difficulties in Paul Grebenc's private life, | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
but he was experienced pilot who must've been aware | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
of the dangers of flying under the influence of alcohol. | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
He had also flouted his employers' guidelines and ignored | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
what they regarded as a safe eight hour gap between drinking | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
After the hearing, Paul Grebenc's wife, herself a pilot | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
with the US Air Force, left caught without comment. | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
Two other pilots were arrested last July before they were due to fly | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
They are also accused of being over the legal limit for alcohol, | :08:30. | :08:40. | |
but denied the charges, and will appear again in April. | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
Police have completed their search of the Monkland canal | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
in Lanarkshire, but have found no human remains in their search | :08:52. | :08:53. | |
The schoolgirl went missing in Coatbridge in 1957. | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
A number of bones were recovered, but they've been found | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
The Education Secretary John Swinney has said the way schools are run | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
must change if standards are to improve. | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
He also said it was worrying that some didn't accept | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
But critics fear councils could be undermined. | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
Here's our education correspondent Jamie McIvor. | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
The Scottish Government says it wants to be judged on education, | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
Both literacy and numeracy are not good enough and helping more | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
children from disadvantaged areas scored top marks is | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
Detailing the challenges that we faced... | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
Today, John Swinney signalled he would tackle critics head-on. | :09:42. | :09:51. | |
He hopes giving parents and schools more help but some | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
There is a strong body of opinion which does not accept | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
What is worrying is that body of opinion is from | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
I want to be clear that my opinion, the view of the Scottish | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
Looking at the data, the status quo is not an option. | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
Change is needed, change is happening and more change is coming. | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
John Swinney may have a mild manner but the government | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
could have a real fight on its hands. | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
Some in local government will resist any attempt | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
Some headteachers are worried about additional | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
I'm interested to hear what it is headteachers want to do | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
Our members are saying what they want is proper | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
support, they want systems which are not bureaucratic. | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
could also empower parents. parents thinks in heads | :10:44. | :10:53. | |
The attitudes and values of the headteacher, that dictates | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
how the school works with parents, because it trickles down. | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
We hope what we will see is an empowerment of headteachers | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
to work more effectively with the parent body. | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
John Swinney accept improvements will take time. | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
Other parties point out the SNP has been in charge for almost ten years. | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
More details to possible changes of how schools are governed | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
Stuart Hogg has been named the Six Nations Player | :11:17. | :11:26. | |
of the Championship for the second year in a row. | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
The 24-year-old fullback scored three tries in this | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
year's tournament - including two against Ireland - | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
as Scotland won three of their five matches. | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
Let's get the weather forecast now from Chris. | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
Good evening. Dry but cold tonight with clearing skies across central | :11:45. | :11:53. | |

morning. Chilly initially, winds initially left. Not quite as cold in | :12:14. | :12:24. | |
other places. More of a breeze further north from the south-west. | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
Through tomorrow the wet weather in the far north tends to clear away. | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
Elsewhere dry and bright but with higher cloud spilling in the | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
sunshine will start to turn hazy. Across the UK as a whole high | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
pressure in charge keeping conditions dry and settle. Sunshine | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
but also cloud towards the Midlands and the South and parts of Devon and | :12:50. | :12:55. | |

for Scotland in sunshine will feel pleasant. The afternoon and evening | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
is dry once again. Clear conditions leading to a frost. The | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
high-pressure stays with us through the weekend. Around the northern | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
flank the height one or two weather fronts dry to edging with a bit more | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
cloud. A few spots of rain. South of probably Inverness it is bright and | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
sunny on Saturday and warm. By mid afternoon temperatures may be 16 in | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
places. The far north a little bit cooler but still respectable. Sunday | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
and the high shifts so there will be cloudy weather in the East but some | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
need further west and mild for the time of year. That is the forecast | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
for now. Good night. We set off at about two o'clock | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
