:01:44. > :01:50.In the aftermath of the bloodshed in Paris, the Prime Minister has warned
:01:51. > :01:56.that so-called Islamic State terrorists, also referred to as
:01:57. > :02:02.Isis, pose a growing threat to the UK. In Edinburgh, the First Minister
:02:03. > :02:07.agrees. That is undoubtedly the case. What we have witnessed in
:02:08. > :02:11.Paris over the last few days, the terrorist attacks that have happened
:02:12. > :02:23.in recent months and everything else we know about the threat from Daesh,
:02:24. > :02:28.suggest there is a serious threat. Do you also agree with the Prime
:02:29. > :02:34.Minister that the case for taking military action has grown stronger
:02:35. > :02:38.since the Paris attack? I am not yet convinced. She is willing to give
:02:39. > :02:44.fresh consideration to the argument that bombing targets in Syria could
:02:45. > :02:48.be legal and effective. I am prepared to listen. Given what is
:02:49. > :02:53.happening and what has happened, it would be irresponsible not to do
:02:54. > :03:01.that. It is incumbent upon the Prime Minister, for him to make that case.
:03:02. > :03:08.He must address that case. I would ask that this resolution is passed
:03:09. > :03:13.by a claim? At the SNP conference last month, opposition to use UK
:03:14. > :03:18.military action in Syria was unanimous. You cannot, as I said
:03:19. > :03:25.yesterday, outsourced to a Russian veto the decisions we need to keep
:03:26. > :03:31.our country safe. Could strikes be legal without a UN mandate? That is
:03:32. > :03:39.what he has two demonstrate. You are a lawyer. Air strikes are taking
:03:40. > :03:44.place without that security mandate. Are they legal? I am trying not to
:03:45. > :03:50.get into a polarised position on this. In a series of interviews
:03:51. > :03:57.today, this former SNP leader said his party would not back as strikes
:03:58. > :04:00.without UN are tea. The UN resolution is a precondition of SNP

:04:16. > :04:19.Syria. -- legality. For British fighter jets to join the air
:04:20. > :04:23.strikes, David Cameron once the approval of parliament. He is
:04:24. > :04:24.increasingly confident of winning a vote on air strikes, with or without
:04:25. > :04:40.SNP packing. I certainly think we have had mixed
:04:41. > :04:44.messages from the SNP on this in the last 24-hour. At their conference
:04:45. > :04:50.they took a firm stance against UK military involvement in Syria. The
:04:51. > :04:55.First Minister has seen in the light of the Paris attacks to give the SNP
:04:56. > :05:00.some room for manoeuvre. While she is not yet convinced of the case for
:05:01. > :05:04.air strikes, she is prepared to listen to that case. If the Prime
:05:05. > :05:10.Minister intends to go ahead without UN backing, he would have to explain
:05:11. > :05:16.how he can so do legally and effectively. But the position set
:05:17. > :05:21.out by Alex Salmond boxes the party back in if there is to be a
:05:22. > :05:25.precondition for SNP support that there is a UN mandate. The Prime
:05:26. > :05:30.Minister has indicated he does not intend to go down that route because
:05:31. > :05:34.of the possibility of a Russian Beto. For the SNP, there is little
:05:35. > :05:38.point in saying you're going to listen to an argument if you have
:05:39. > :05:41.already decided you will object it. Thank you.

:06:37. > :06:41.have found are anticipated and it makes no difference to the operation

:09:05. > :09:09.6:30pm in September 2013. Then it is said she was left alone for around
:09:10. > :09:14.an hour. At around eight p.m., her carer found her unresponsive in the
:09:15. > :09:18.bath and she had been scolded. The cause of death was not established

:10:12. > :10:15.on a tram in Edinburgh. What are the commuters you're
:10:16. > :10:27.with saying about it? Well, sadly, the conversations on
:10:28. > :10:31.the tram are much like the conversations I have had out on the
:10:32. > :10:35.streets of Edinburgh. Some people think the tram extension is a good
:10:36. > :10:40.idea and others are terrible idea and all points in between. What
:10:41. > :10:45.everyone is conscious of is this project. The long delays, the huge
:10:46. > :10:49.cost overrun, and the damage it did to the reputation of Edinburgh.
:10:50. > :10:52.Certainly that is something that councillors were conscious of when
:10:53. > :10:56.they took the decision today. What they have agreed to in principle was
:10:57. > :11:01.the line would extend beyond the terminus in the city centre where we
:11:02. > :11:06.are heading at the moment. Beyond there, down Leith and to New Haven.
:11:07. > :11:10.Why would they want to do that? A number of different motivations.
:11:11. > :11:16.They say the city is growing and they need the infrastructure to cope
:11:17. > :11:19.with that. They also want Leith, having had the pain of the initial
:11:20. > :11:24.project, to get some of the benefits of the project. Lots of fare-paying
:11:25. > :11:33.passengers in the most densely populated area of Edinburgh.
:11:34. > :11:39.Potentially they could help the trams to return a profit. How are
:11:40. > :11:44.they planning to pay for it? That is a thorny issue. The proposal to use
:11:45. > :11:48.money from the bus company in the form of dividends to help pay for
:11:49. > :11:51.initial costs of borrowing have been met with some resistance. We saw
:11:52. > :11:58.that in the chamber today. At one point they looked like they might
:11:59. > :12:02.have derailed the project. That has not been done but they are going to
:12:03. > :12:07.review the business case. A step closer, albeit a small step.
:12:08. > :12:10.Ten former bosses at Halifax Bank of Scotland could be banned
:12:11. > :12:12.from working in the financial services industry.
:12:13. > :12:14.That's one of the conclusions in a report into the collapse

:12:32. > :12:36.It is certainly not good. It was never going to be good for those
:12:37. > :12:40.involved in what happened. The account of what went wrong may sound
:12:41. > :12:45.familiar. The Halifax Bank of Scotland is described as a simple
:12:46. > :12:48.bank that created a big problem. That was based on reckless lending
:12:49. > :12:51.and not enough attention to the risks that were building up. A lot
:12:52. > :12:55.of people at the top of the bank did not understand because they were not
:12:56. > :13:00.trained and experienced as bankers. That much was known. It is almost
:13:01. > :13:05.disputed today by the people named. There is criticism from the current
:13:06. > :13:10.regulator of the Financial Services Authority, which was the regulator.
:13:11. > :13:14.It is the watchdog that failed to bark in the case of HBOS. The
:13:15. > :13:18.question at ten former HBOS executives could be barred from
:13:19. > :13:22.working in the financial sector is more of a criticism of the regulator
:13:23. > :13:27.for not doing its job. Only one person has been barred and find for
:13:28. > :13:31.that that is Peter Cummings, he started as tea boy at the bank of
:13:32. > :13:37.Scotland and rose to be the man writing these loans for reckless
:13:38. > :13:43.corporate spending. Another way to look at this, a bank calamity where
:13:44. > :13:46.HBOS had to be taken over by Lloyds TSB and bailed out by the
:13:47. > :13:51.Government. Its business customers were among the first to suffer. We
:13:52. > :13:57.have been hearing from one of them today. The relationship changed
:13:58. > :14:02.radically, it changed overnight, when the banking crisis hit in
:14:03. > :14:06.2008. We were in the property industry and HBOS were over
:14:07. > :14:10.leveraged in that area. They decided that property was of no interest to
:14:11. > :14:14.them. As, like many other businesses, were swept into that
:14:15. > :14:19.net. What followed thereafter was a very difficult and challenging
:14:20. > :14:23.period of time where we effectively had to dismantle a business we have
:14:24. > :14:27.spent so long building up. To then take it apart in two to three years.
:14:28. > :14:32.It was a soul destroying experience. It is important there is now much
:14:33. > :14:40.stronger legislation and governance in place. Each -- HBOS, and they are
:14:41. > :14:45.not alone, were allowed to rack up enormous borrowings in the financial
:14:46. > :14:50.markets. That really cannot be allowed to happen again. Who is it
:14:51. > :14:57.down to now to pay for all of this? This is one arm of the Bank of
:14:58. > :15:01.England reviewing another arm of the Bank of England to take action. To
:15:02. > :15:09.be honest, it will not make much practical difference. Many have
:15:10. > :15:12.retired. It will not bring back the pride and status of Scottish
:15:13. > :15:17.banking. For Edinburgh, it has lost the cloud of two banking giants who
:15:18. > :15:20.collapsed. It is about making banking saves to ensure it cannot
:15:21. > :15:26.happen again put up some measures have been taken. Some say they are
:15:27. > :15:31.not radical enough and others that they have gone too far. The Royal
:15:32. > :15:36.Bank of Scotland today has said it is removing bonuses from its retail
:15:37. > :15:41.banking staff. They will get a pay rise in view of that. To take away

:18:05. > :18:14.of the club's general meeting, where successive European failings
:18:15. > :18:17.are sure to be raised. As Alasdair Lamont reports,
:18:18. > :18:18.tomorrow's AGM could throw up some
:18:19. > :18:27.interesting plot lines. There was a big story at Celtic
:18:28. > :18:32.today. Scott Bowen's new has plenty of space for reams of trophy winning
:18:33. > :18:36.tales and bold adventures by recent chapters on that front do not make
:18:37. > :18:39.pleasant reading. What is his message for fans who have lost the
:18:40. > :18:45.plot with European performances? Keep the faith with us. It has been
:18:46. > :18:49.a long couple of years not with Champions League football but we
:18:50. > :18:52.will get there. It is one of several issues likely to be raised here
:18:53. > :19:00.tomorrow as shareholders gallop, gather. Others include that the
:19:01. > :19:03.campaign to get Celtic to sign up as a visual Living Wage employers and
:19:04. > :19:10.the notion of a downsizing in terms of player investment and funniest of
:19:11. > :19:15.all the club's size on Rangers' use of EBT is and whether that impacted
:19:16. > :19:18.on success here. They will be asked about it and pressed about it and I
:19:19. > :19:23.know a lot of supporters have written to the club asking about it
:19:24. > :19:26.why would expect them to make some form of noncommittal statement that
:19:27. > :19:32.they will continue to burst to the interests of the club. Noncommittal
