:00:09. > :00:10.than forty Muslim nations, they must unite, to defeat
:00:11. > :00:19.Speaking in Saudi Arabia, he said the Middle East cannot wait
:00:20. > :00:21.for American power to crush the "barbaric criminals".
:00:22. > :00:36.And we're live in Edinburgh tonight - where the Scottish party leaders
:00:37. > :00:41.have engaged in their first televised debate of the campaign.
:00:42. > :00:42.Take your second referendum off the table...
:00:43. > :00:45...Do what you promised the people of Scotland...
:00:46. > :00:50.There were some robust exchanges on the question
:00:51. > :00:52.of Scottish independence - the impact of Brexit -
:00:53. > :00:56.And we'll have the latest reaction to Conservative plans for reforming
:00:57. > :01:20.social care and winter fuel benefit for pensioners.
:01:21. > :01:26.President Trump has told the leaders of more than 40 Muslim nations,
:01:27. > :01:28.they must join forces to defeat religious extremism.
:01:29. > :01:30.He also said Arab leaders had a responsibility to tackle violence
:01:31. > :01:35.Speaking in Saudi Arabia, on the second day of his tour
:01:36. > :01:38.of the Middle East and Europe, he said extremists must find no
:01:39. > :01:40.sanctuary, and he accused Iran of representing "the tip
:01:41. > :01:45.of the spear of terrorism," helping to fuel sectarian conflict.
:01:46. > :01:52.Our North America Editor, Jon Sopel, is travelling with the President.
:01:53. > :01:56.The president has been on a deep immersion into Middle East politics
:01:57. > :01:59.today, and a charm offensive, meeting a host of Arab and Gulf
:02:00. > :02:06.And one central geopolitical subject, the fight against Islamist
:02:07. > :02:08.extremism, and how to make good on his pledge to destroy
:02:09. > :02:16.But after the trenchant and some would say Islamophobic language
:02:17. > :02:19.of the Trump election campaign the president chose a much more
:02:20. > :02:27.We are not here to tell other people how to live.
:02:28. > :02:34.Instead, we are here to offer partnership.
:02:35. > :02:39.Based on shared interests and values.
:02:40. > :02:42.And he framed the choice that Arab leaders faced like this.
:02:43. > :02:44.This is not a battle between different faiths.
:02:45. > :02:55.This is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate
:02:56. > :03:03.human life and decent people all in the name of religion.
:03:04. > :03:09.This is a battle between good and evil.
:03:10. > :03:12.And he said that if terrorism was to be defeated it was up
:03:13. > :03:14.to the people in that room to do more.
:03:15. > :03:17.A better future is only possible if your nations
:03:18. > :03:28.Drive them out of your places of worship.
:03:29. > :03:43.This speech was a far cry from the language that
:03:44. > :03:46.Donald Trump and his allies used during the campaign.
:03:47. > :03:58.No more mention of this being a clash of sterilisations.
:03:59. > :04:02.-- No more mention of this being a clash of civilisations.
:04:03. > :04:05.And the one phrase that he chided Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama
:04:06. > :04:07.for not using, radical Islamic terrorism was not even mentioned.
:04:08. > :04:11.Donald J Trump is calling for a total and complete
:04:12. > :04:12.shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.
:04:13. > :04:14.Radical Islam is coming to our shores.
:04:15. > :04:18.We have a radical Islamic terrorism problem, folks.
:04:19. > :04:24.Donald Trump has made a lot of friends with his
:04:25. > :04:30.A more inclusive tone, a pledge of American help,
:04:31. > :04:32.combined with a strong attack on Iran.
:04:33. > :04:37.Exactly what his Saudi hosts were hoping for.
:04:38. > :04:40.And this is what President Trump wants to see more of,
:04:41. > :04:43.the new global centre for combating extremist ideology that
:04:44. > :04:47.And the clear message, this is a worldwide problem
:04:48. > :04:56.Our Security Correspondent Frank Gardner joins us
:04:57. > :05:04.from the Saudi Capital Riyadh now, Frank.
:05:05. > :05:10.And the listened intently to the President's words, but what do you
:05:11. > :05:23.think many of them are subjects and citizens made of his speech? They
:05:24. > :05:27.nearly always is a considerable gulf between what leaders and government,
:05:28. > :05:34.official media says, and what people are saying at street level. At an
:05:35. > :05:39.official level, it has gone down well, there is some relief in Riyadh
:05:40. > :05:44.that somebody who shoots from the hip and goes off script has stuck to
:05:45. > :05:51.the script. And has said things that have gone down pretty popularly
:05:52. > :05:55.here. At street level people are saying, one speech isn't going to
:05:56. > :06:00.undo the prejudice they think America shows towards the Muslim
:06:01. > :06:04.nations, that goes back decades in their view. People in Iran are
:06:05. > :06:10.saying this is a slap in the face for their election that they had
:06:11. > :06:14.only two days ago, which has re-elected a relative reformer.
:06:15. > :06:16.People in some other countries have pointed to the fact that Saudi
:06:17. > :06:23.Arabia has been supporting some fairly extreme groups, or money has
:06:24. > :06:28.ended up in extreme hands in Syria. It is a mixed reaction. I would not
:06:29. > :06:30.call it a total success in terms of the way the Middle East sees this.
:06:31. > :06:38.Thanks very much. Now with the latest general election
:06:39. > :06:41.news, let's go live to Huw Edwards, who's in Edinburgh tonight,
:06:42. > :06:42.Huw. In Edinburgh tonight -
:06:43. > :06:46.the party leaders in Scotland have engaged in their first major
:06:47. > :06:48.debate of the campaign - there were some robust exchanges -
:06:49. > :06:51.on the question of a second independence referendum -
:06:52. > :07:01.and on the implications of Brexit. They also touched on some
:07:02. > :07:03.of the welfare reforms that the Conservatives
:07:04. > :07:05.are proposing at Westminster. We'll have more on the
:07:06. > :07:07.debate in a moment. But first - the latest on those
:07:08. > :07:09.controversial Conservative plans - for reforming social care in England
:07:10. > :07:12.- and the winter fuel Our political correspondent
:07:13. > :07:15.Alex Forsyth reports. In elections, manifestos are key,
:07:16. > :07:17.a pitch to voters, one of her promises last week -
:07:18. > :07:21.a fairer country for young and old. Real technical education
:07:22. > :07:26.for young people. And the first ever proper plan
:07:27. > :07:34.to pay for and provide social care. But in her party there
:07:35. > :07:36.is some disquiet about What it'll mean for pensioners
:07:37. > :07:42.and homeowners, not least On the doorstep yesterday,
:07:43. > :07:55.Theresa May was to explain. Well, currently in England you pay
:07:56. > :08:01.for care if you have assets Under the new plan that'll
:08:02. > :08:10.go up to ?100,000. So nobody with assets worth less
:08:11. > :08:13.than that will have to pay. But that new calculation will
:08:14. > :08:16.include the value of your house, The Work and Pensions Secretary
:08:17. > :08:21.today said nobody would have to sell their home in their lifetime
:08:22. > :08:24.and the plan would protect some And people who are lucky
:08:25. > :08:39.to have had great rises in property value will still,
:08:40. > :08:41.I think, decide that the ?100,000 But this has got to be put
:08:42. > :08:47.into the context of this is funding The Conservatives say this policy
:08:48. > :08:51.shows if they end up back in here they will make the tough
:08:52. > :08:55.choices needed by governments. Boris Johnson said he understood
:08:56. > :08:56.people's reservations, However, the party's political
:08:57. > :09:05.opponents sense some vulnerability. What we are seeing this weekend
:09:06. > :09:08.with the Conservatives under increasing pressure
:09:09. > :09:10.because they have If you or your loved one has
:09:11. > :09:15.or will get dementia, Labour, too, is on the attack,
:09:16. > :09:21.claiming the Tory plan is unfair. The reason some people unfortunately
:09:22. > :09:24.call this a dementia tax is because you don't know
:09:25. > :09:26.what condition you'll suffer from. If it is a more serious one
:09:27. > :09:29.like dementia, and I'll tell you, I've been through this in my family,
:09:30. > :09:33.I know what it is like, what happens But the Tories say to sustain
:09:34. > :09:38.a system that is stretched they will stick to this plan
:09:39. > :09:42.and consult on the detail. Nonetheless, Labour's pitching
:09:43. > :09:45.hard to older voters, confident on this they can
:09:46. > :09:47.gain some ground. Here in Edinburgh tonight -
:09:48. > :09:55.the party leaders debated the question of a second
:09:56. > :09:59.independence referendum - the likely impact of Brexit -
:10:00. > :10:01.and the direction of health and education policy -
:10:02. > :10:04.two areas of responsibility Our correspondent Lorna Gordon
:10:05. > :10:22.reports on the first leaders' debate The question of whether there should
:10:23. > :10:27.be a second independence referendum dominates politics in Scotland.
:10:28. > :10:29.Tonight's election debate covered Brexit and Scotland's future
:10:30. > :10:34.relationship with Europe. No surprise that the Fire East comments
:10:35. > :10:41.were about Scotland's place in the UK. -- the fiery comments were about
:10:42. > :10:45.Scotland's place in the UK. Arguing over who has been driving the
:10:46. > :10:49.constitutional debate so far. She says I talk about nothing else. She
:10:50. > :10:56.talks so much about independent I cannot get a word in. I have a Tory
:10:57. > :11:00.leaflet here and it mentions an independence referendum 26 times. It
:11:01. > :11:05.doesn't mention the NHS ones. It doesn't mention education once.
:11:06. > :11:09.There was a simple way, if people want me to stop fighting
:11:10. > :11:15.independence, there is a simple way of doing it, take your second
:11:16. > :11:18.referendum of the table. The Labour manifesto is clearly against
:11:19. > :11:21.independence and a referendum because of the ?15 billion worth of
:11:22. > :11:28.additional cuts that would come with that. For the SNP it's always about
:11:29. > :11:33.independence. Today Brexit is the excuse. Every other day it could be
:11:34. > :11:37.any excuse. There were questions from the audience, some on devolved
:11:38. > :11:40.issues such as health, education, and passion from the party leaders.
:11:41. > :11:59.The You have had ten years. Proud of
:12:00. > :12:05.cuts, fewer support staff, and a widening gap between the richest and
:12:06. > :12:11.poorest, that your -- that is your record. The gap between the richest
:12:12. > :12:17.on the poorest is not widening. The gap between the richest and the
:12:18. > :12:20.poorest is narrowing. You should put a modest penny on income tax to have
:12:21. > :12:28.a colossal effect on public services. We want to invest
:12:29. > :12:31.education... For Ruth Davidson the task was to defend decisions at
:12:32. > :12:39.Westminster at times. You are having remote ability cars taken away. More
:12:40. > :12:44.have been issued now since 2010. For the Greens and you get a chance to
:12:45. > :12:47.pitch to a wider audience. Plenty for voters to ponder with a general
:12:48. > :12:50.election campaign which still has weeks to run.
:12:51. > :12:55.Well our Scotland Editor Sarah Smith is here.
:12:56. > :13:01.She has been busy, she was motivating the debate earlier this
:13:02. > :13:06.evening. There were tough exchanges. This is a Westminster election, yet
:13:07. > :13:09.the debate will be on that. There were some good questions from the
:13:10. > :13:13.audience about health and education that sparked some of the liveliest
:13:14. > :13:19.issues. That is controlled by the Scottish Government in Holyrood.
:13:20. > :13:24.They have been in government for ten years now. People are taking into
:13:25. > :13:29.account how the schools and hospitals are being run. It cannot
:13:30. > :13:35.be divorced from the Westminster election. Nicola Sturgeon got a hard
:13:36. > :13:40.time about that. She also had a few blows on Ruth Davidson, talking
:13:41. > :13:44.about austerity cuts. It is noticeable that Ruth Davidson often
:13:45. > :13:47.looks at her most uncomfortable when she is defending policies of the UK
:13:48. > :13:52.Conservative Party that come from Westminster. Brexit and independence
:13:53. > :13:58.were the main topics of the night. Nicola Sturgeon wanting to get a
:13:59. > :14:02.message across, a vote for the SNP is to get Scotland's voice heard in
:14:03. > :14:06.the Brexit negotiations. She didn't answer the question about how bad
:14:07. > :14:12.will happen when the PM has already ruled out having a seat at the
:14:13. > :14:14.Brexit negotiating table. On the independence referendum, labour and
:14:15. > :14:18.the Lib Dems keen to say they will block a second referendum, they will
:14:19. > :14:21.not let it happen. They are worried the Tories have portrayed themselves
:14:22. > :14:25.as the party that will do the most to protect the UK. They want to get
:14:26. > :14:28.in and say they will block any referendum, as well. Thanks very
:14:29. > :14:35.much. Consumer borrowing is approaching
:14:36. > :14:38.levels not seen since the 2008 financial crisis -
:14:39. > :14:40.with almost three million people struggling with severe
:14:41. > :14:41.debt across the UK. It's an issue both the Conservatives

:14:54. > :15:00.keeping your head above water can be really hard work,
:15:01. > :15:03.and if you look at our combined personal debt in the UK,
:15:04. > :15:06.we owe something like ?1.5 trillion. Look at those zeroes,
:15:07. > :15:08.it is a lot of money, the equivalent of everyone over 16
:15:09. > :15:12.owing ?28,000 each. The bulk of that money
:15:13. > :15:18.is on mortgages, at ?1.3 trillion. Then if you look at spending
:15:19. > :15:21.on credit cards, that is Overdrafts, personal
:15:22. > :15:32.loans, and a big growth Not included is student-loan debt,
:15:33. > :15:40.at about ?86 billion, which has What do people actually
:15:41. > :15:48.think about that? We rounded up a couple
:15:49. > :15:53.of swimmers, Tracey and Mike. There is a purpose for credit cards,
:15:54. > :15:59.I use them for overseas transactions and things I am not familiar with,
:16:00. > :16:02.but I pay it off immediately, In my student days, I was in quite
:16:03. > :16:09.a large amount of student debt, and that is an area I do not
:16:10. > :16:14.want to return to. Bills come in constantly,
:16:15. > :16:25.but I try to look at the positives, because there are people
:16:26. > :16:29.who are a lot worse off. Next time you can have a swim

:16:45. > :16:48.issues, and debt issues There has been a change in the type
:16:49. > :17:01.of people coming with debt problems? Yes, it used to just be people
:17:02. > :17:04.on low income, benefit income, but now it is people working,
:17:05. > :17:06.they are using their credit facilities to get
:17:07. > :17:10.through to the next payday. There is a lot of debt
:17:11. > :17:16.sloshing around out there, but how do we compare
:17:17. > :17:20.to our neighbours? This shows debt as a percentage
:17:21. > :17:26.of disposable income, and you can see the UK is quite
:17:27. > :17:29.high, but not as high as Australia, Denmark and Canada,
:17:30. > :17:31.all of which have robust Do we need to worry
:17:32. > :17:35.about being in debt? Debt sounds like a dirty word,
:17:36. > :17:39.but it does not have to be, as long as you can repay
:17:40. > :17:43.what you borrow, and you are not using it to cover your
:17:44. > :17:44.day-to-day living expenses. Wages are not expected to go
:17:45. > :17:48.up and inflation is, so that could squeeze our household
:17:49. > :17:50.incomes, and we will If rates went up by 1%,
