With 100 days to go until Scotland goes to the polls to choose the next | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
Scottish Government, the campaigning has begun. | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
While Labour's Kezia Dugdale insists she can turn round her party's poor | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
showing at recent elections, the SNP Leader Nicola Sturgeon says | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
she's taking nothing for granted and will be fighting for every vote. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Here's our political editor, Brian Taylor. | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
Kezia's leading a fantastic campaign. | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
Labour's Scottish leader talks tactics with Jeremy Corbyn's Shadow | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
Polls suggest Labour is struggling in Scotland, | :00:45. | :00:54. | |
It is a challenging time, the polls are evidence of that | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
but I'm determined to turn that around. | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
I am confident and I'm upbeat about the future and faced | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
between using the new powers of the Parliament to invest | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
in our kids' education or to continue to manage austerity | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
are intent on doing, I know which one Scots will choose. | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
The First Minister leads Scottish Cabinet talks on North Sea | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
oil and gas, identifying four key areas for action. | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
She defends the SNP's record in power but looks | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
Education and closing the attainment gap is top of my agenda, | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
the health service so that it copes with challenges of the future, | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
and make sure we are supporting a knowledge-based | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
So we'll have big ideas and big ambitions in this | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
campaign and I look forward to persuading people in Scotland | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
Ruth Davidson says she is ready to tackle the challenge | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
of supplanting Labaour as principal opposition at Holyrood. | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
I would say to people out there, if you don't change | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
the Government, think about changing the opposition, have an opposition | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
that will truly hold the Government to account. | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
The Scottish Conservatives pledge to properly do that. | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
Also to protect your family's finances when the new tax powers | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
always stand up for Scotland's place in the UK. | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
Willie Rennie's current team at Holyrood is limited, | :02:21. | :02:21. | |
but he insists there is potential support out there. | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
People in Scotland like their liberal values of investing | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
in education, protecting the NHS and what's best about it, | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
but also safeguarding our civil liberties and protecting | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
People like those policies, that package is progressive | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
and positive and that's why I think more and more people will come back | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
Enduring the inclement climate in Glasgow, the Greens say they can | :02:43. | :02:54. | |
move up the Holyrood ranks with focus on the environment. | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
There is no reason we couldn't overtake the Liberal Democrats | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
to become the fourth party, or better still, in the next | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
Parliament, but the most important thing | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
is to get the message right about the direction | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
A fairer, more equal, more sustainable and healthy society. | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
Told you these elections were a big deal! | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
The Electoral Commission and the homeless charity Shelter | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
have urged everyone to register to vote, but don't worry, | :03:14. | :03:22. | |
the ballot boxes that you fill should be to scale. | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
Earlier I spoke to our political editor Brian Taylor and I asked him | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
what's going to be different in this election. | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
We are used to debates about education, the health service and | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
transport, about public sector -- pub expecting. In the next 100 days | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
of other parties will have to spill at their plans on tax and | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
specifically what they plan to do to amend or replace the council tax. | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
There are plans for business rates and above all their plans for what | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
they will do with the new powers coming Holyrood's week on all the | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
income tax rates and banned in Scotland. This is why this is a big | :04:05. | :04:05. | |
election. -- bans. A second man has been arrested | :04:06. | :04:19. | |
following the death of a 21 year-old Jamie Johnstone, from | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
Cranhill, died after being found with serious injuries | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
in Balbeggie Street, Police have confirmed that | :04:27. | :04:27. | |
a 25-year-old man has been arrested and is being detained in connection | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
with the incident. 22-year-old Nico Donnelly has | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
already been charged A man's been arrested | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
after a shopkeeper was shot in the leg during an attempted | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
robbery at a convenience store The 25-year-old who's been detained | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
is expected to appear The engineers in charge | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
of the construction of the Queensferry Crossing say | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
they're using every available break in the winter weather to ensure | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
the bridge can be completed, as scheduled, by | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
the end of this year. Our transport correspondent, | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
David Miller, reports. The Queensferry Crossing is now less | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
than a year from completion. This remarkable drone footage | :05:02. | :05:11. | |
reveals the progress being made. Construction remains under | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
budget and on schedule, This is the first break | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
in the weather we have had The rain has stopped for the moment | :05:18. | :05:26. | |
but as you can probably see, the wind remains strong, | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
and all of that has an impact out there, where high winds can play | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
havoc with the schedule. Sections of the deck cannot be | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
slotted into place in high winds, that can mean a long | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
and frustrating wait for workers. We took a section out | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
there on the barge, we had it sitting underneath | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
the South Pier all day. It looked as if it wasn't | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
going to be able to go, but we knew there was a chance | :05:52. | :06:00. | |
of a lull, and they got finished Bosses say that once it is complete, | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
the new crossing will be well-placed The wires are coated in wax, | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
then encased in this sheathing. The wires were exposed for a year | :06:10. | :06:33. | |
or so on the Forth Road Bridge against the elements, | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
and when they were protected a lot of moisture was already in the cable | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
at that point before so that is the fundamental | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
difference between the two. It is still hard to believe | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
the first vehicles are due to cross this bridge in December, | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
much remains to be done but plans are already under way | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
for the opening celebrations. The storm that caused severe | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
blizzards across the east coast of America at the weekend brought | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
heavy rain and winds to much High winds upturned two lorries | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
on the A1. Pupils in Aberfoyle had to be | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
rescued from a flooded school. And in Edinburgh, a passenger | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
on a bus was injured after a chimney For the two drivers, a lucky escape. | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
of wind on the A1 this morning, In the capital, the high | :07:07. | :07:19. | |
winds were responsible In Edinburgh, there were dramatic | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
scenes earlier when a chimney pot It left a male passenger injured. | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
and smashed into the window The road remained closed | :07:29. | :07:36. | |
for much of the day. As the rain hammered | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
down and winds swept through, there was | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
transport disruption. Waves crashed over the train line | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
in Saltcoats, and in Stornoway waves Much of the afternoon was spent | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
pumping water away on the A9. The M8 carriageway | :07:52. | :08:02. | |
was closed for a while. It is persistent rain, | :08:03. | :08:11. | |
not necessarily a downpour, The hills are wet, the water | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
is running off them Even though the drainage | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
system is running free, that amount of water on the road, | :08:17. | :08:27. | |
the drainage system Firefighters were called out | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
to a flooded school in Aberfoyle But the bad weather always brings | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
joy to some, this windsurfer was catching some very | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
big waves in Troon. With more rain on its way tonight, | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
maybe it is time to get Tony Blair says he thinks Scotland | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
will become an independent country if the UK votes to break away | :08:46. | :08:54. | |
from the European Union. Speaking to a French radio station, | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
the former Prime Minister added that he hopes voters will choose | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
to stay part of the EU Earlier this week, | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said there would be "overwhelming demand" | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
for a second independence vote, should Scotland be taken out | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
of Europe, despite Figures out today show there were no | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
lives lost in accidents on the A9 between Inverness and Dunblane | :09:11. | :09:18. | |
during the second half of last year. It's the longest period of time | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
without a fatal crash on the road Safety groups say it's clear that | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
average speed cameras, installed last October, | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
are saving lives. I think it does show the indication | :09:31. | :09:40. | |
for the measures that have been put in place. Some have criticised, but | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
what it has shown is that we have been able to save lives, make the | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
roads safer, reduce speeding and particularly excessive speeding. | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
Plans to restrict camping in the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
National Park have been approved by the Scottish Government. | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
New bylaws will "regulate" camping in three areas. | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
Ramblers Scotland and the Mountaineering Council | :10:01. | :10:01. | |

Thank you, Sally. Good evening. Sunshine Tour parts of Aberdeenshire | :11:17. | :11:28. | |
but for most of us it was wet and windy. Our weather watcher on the | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
Isle of Bute sending in this picture of the high tides. More rain in the | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
forecast tonight. A devil we're warning in force tonight for the | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
risk of flooding and difficult conditions on the roads. -- be | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
aware. If you are joining up and down the road like the A9 tonight or | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
first thing tomorrow morning, what bearing in mind. Through the course | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
tomorrow morning, the wet weather will head towards the North Sea and, | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
some nice it is reasonably dry through the central belt and the | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
South, perhaps one or two spots of rain in some places. The timing of | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
the green cleaning from the North East could be a little bit longer | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
compare to what we are showing any graphics. -- clearing. The winds are | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
lighter across the country compared with today of all the West towards | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
the afternoon. Mid morning some brightness coming through but you | :12:30. | :12:31. | |

South, the weather fronts staggering down towards the channel with some | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
