:03:24. > :03:27.The term is used to describe people worse off than the majority

:03:28. > :03:33.Here's our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell.

:03:34. > :03:41.Marie and her two children are struggling to get by on benefits in

:03:42. > :03:47.Glasgow. I want to enjoy life and have a nice job and enjoy my family.

:03:48. > :03:52.But poverty, you're not going to get that in poverty. I just feel as if

:03:53. > :03:58.you're getting crushed. Officially she is living in relative poverty.

:03:59. > :04:07.That means she has less than 60% of the UK median income to live on.

:04:08. > :04:13.There are 820,000 Scots in relative poverty in 2013. That is up 110,000.

:04:14. > :04:19.The deputy First Minister met another low income family and blamed

:04:20. > :04:23.rising poverty on UK Government welfare changes. We shouldn't have

:04:24. > :04:29.so many people living in poverty in a country as rich as Scotland. There

:04:30. > :04:33.is a link between this and the austerity policies at Westminster

:04:34. > :04:38.and the restrictions in eligibility for tax credits. Tackling poverty is

:04:39. > :04:43.a responsibility Holyrood shares with Westminster H but the Scottish

:04:44. > :04:48.Government reckons its could do a better job if it had control of tax

:04:49. > :04:54.and benefit systems. This former First Minister favours more powers

:04:55. > :04:58.for Holyrood, but not in independence. If people want to

:04:59. > :05:03.change the situation for children in Scotland growing up in poverty, they

:05:04. > :05:06.need to campaign the Scottish and UK Government to change their policies.

:05:07. > :05:10.Not change the system of Government. Because the system is right. Home

:05:11. > :05:17.rule inside the UK is the best for Scotland. His former deputy, Lord

:05:18. > :05:23.Wallace, said poverty would have risen more sharply if the coalition

:05:24. > :05:27.had not cut public spending. It is 15 years to the day since the Queen

:05:28. > :05:33.opened the Scottish Parliament. Poverty has been on a down ward

:05:34. > :05:34.trend since, but o' for the first time since devolution, that trend

:05:35. > :05:41.has turned. A Labour parliamentary candidate has

:05:42. > :05:44.resigned after Tweeting an image of the Hitler Youth

:05:45. > :05:46.in relation to an anti-BBC protest. Kathy Wiles,

:05:47. > :05:48.who was to stand in Angus in next year's Westminster election,

:05:49. > :05:51.said she wanted to highlight the dangers of using children in

:05:52. > :05:53.political campaigns after a protest outside BBC Scotland headquarters

:05:54. > :05:58.in Glasgow on Sunday afternoon. A cow that got into the water at

:05:59. > :06:01.Aberdeen Harbour was shot by police marksmen after it couldn't be coaxed

:06:02. > :06:04.ashore. The cow had broken free while being loaded onto a transport

:06:05. > :06:19.float. The police said humane Now Sarah with the weather. We are

:06:20. > :06:23.seeing a change in the weather for Wednesday morning. That is down to

:06:24. > :06:32.this area of low pressure heading our way. So we are going to see

:06:33. > :06:36.mainly dry and bright weather across the mainland. But in the north-west,

:06:37. > :06:42.strong winds, touching gale force across the Western Isles and some

:06:43. > :06:46.rain. For many it starts dry and bright with temperatures around 14

:06:47. > :06:50.Celsius. So a mild and pleasant start. But as we head to the

:06:51. > :06:57.north-west Highlands, that cloud increases and that brings seem rinse

:06:58. > :07:01.across the -- some rain across the Western Isles. That rain will push

:07:02. > :07:06.south and east and it will be heavy in the Western Isles, Skye and the

:07:07. > :07:12.north-west Highlands. As it pushes south, it will start to fragment and

:07:13. > :07:15.for most of us it should stay dry. But turning cloudy in the afternoon.

:07:16. > :07:27.Temperatures still peaking at around 19 or 20 Celsius. But where the rain

:07:28. > :07:30.it will be cooler. We are back tomorrow morning at 6. 6.25.

:07:36. > :07:39.survives into the weekend, some rain around on Saturday.

:07:40. > :07:45.It's certainly been a feast of football again. The temperature in

:07:46. > :07:50.S?o Paulo was much the same as we had in Glasgow and Bristol. Here,

:07:51. > :07:51.temperatures are set to climb higher in the next few
