:01:14. > :01:17.The agreement between the Treasury and the Scottish Government followed
:01:18. > :01:26.a day of drama and behind the scenes talks.
:01:27. > :01:31.The First Minister says it means not a penny will be cut from Scotland's
:01:32. > :01:34.Budget. The Chancellor says Holyrood will now be answerable to voters
:01:35. > :01:36.over tax and spending. From Holyrood, here's our political
:01:37. > :01:44.editor Brian Taylor. After a day of intense negotiation,
:01:45. > :01:48.Nicola Sturgeon told MSPs a deal had been done with the Treasury. My
:01:49. > :01:53.camera port of Parliament that there is now an agreement in principle
:01:54. > :01:56.that I believe we can recommend to Parliament. The plan to give
:01:57. > :02:01.Scotland control of all income tax rates and bands will now go ahead
:02:02. > :02:05.from next year. The deal sets out how and by how much the Westminster
:02:06. > :02:10.block grant is cut in future. The Treasury had wanted a system which
:02:11. > :02:13.might have meant cuts in Scotland's Budget if the Scottish population
:02:14. > :02:18.decline and the tax take was lower, but Scottish ministers resisted that
:02:19. > :02:20.fiercely. The agreement now is that there will be no automatic cut in
:02:21. > :02:24.the Budget for six years and that after that there would be a review
:02:25. > :02:30.but without prejudice or defaulting to the Treasury plan. They said the
:02:31. > :02:37.initial Treasury plan would have cut the Budget by ?7 billion over a
:02:38. > :02:40.decade. There will not be 7 billion, or ?3 billion of detriment. This
:02:41. > :02:43.deal will not allow a single pound or even a penny to be taken from the
:02:44. > :02:47.Scottish Government's Budget. It delivers on the vow we made
:02:48. > :02:50.to the people of Scotland. It is fair to the taxpayers
:02:51. > :02:53.of all of the UK. And it gives Scotland
:02:54. > :02:55.one of the most powerful, devolved
:02:56. > :03:01.parliament in the world. I think the debate will now shift
:03:02. > :03:05.from whether Scotland has these tax and spending powers to how they are
:03:06. > :03:12.used to the benefit of the Scottish people. Tonight's agreement sets out
:03:13. > :03:19.a packet and opens the door to a new phase in Scotland's political story.
:03:20. > :03:21.Brian joins us now. This was a key part of the deal following the
:03:22. > :03:26.independence referendum, but it has taken some time.
:03:27. > :03:31.It has taken some time because, Jackie, it is a key part of a very
:03:32. > :03:35.big deal. There have been concessions on both sides. The
:03:36. > :03:38.Scottish Government has got all it wanted in terms of paying for the
:03:39. > :03:42.costs of transition. They have had to agree that there would be
:03:43. > :03:46.independent scrutiny of the Scottish economy, not just because generated
:03:47. > :03:50.from within the Scottish Government. On the other hand, however, the
:03:51. > :03:53.Treasury have had to make big concessions, as well. They have had
:03:54. > :03:57.to concede, basically, that the proposal they made for their model
:03:58. > :04:01.to be used when to be happening in that way. It will be a model which
:04:02. > :04:07.is typically used. But over the next six years it will be tweaked to make
:04:08. > :04:12.sure a penny -- make sure not a penny in cut as a consequence of
:04:13. > :04:14.devolution. They will then be an open discussion between the two
:04:15. > :04:23.governments to take place after the next round of elections. The big
:04:24. > :04:28.prize for both sides, for Scotland and Holyrood, securing the tax
:04:29. > :04:31.powers, securing control of welfare, securing borrowing powers. It will
:04:32. > :04:35.transform the Scottish election into a debate over the use of those
:04:36. > :04:38.powers. The big gains in the UK Government, they are able to argue
:04:39. > :04:43.that Scotland is now fiscally responsible. The Holyrood parliament
:04:44. > :04:47.behind me is responsible for spending, it is responsible for tax,
:04:48. > :04:51.and that builds a narrative whereby they say Scotland is determining its
:04:52. > :04:53.own affairs and not, as they would argue, reliant upon the remainder of
:04:54. > :04:59.the UK. Thanks very much.

:05:38. > :05:44.the Hercules aircraft at Glasgow airport. It marks yet another twist

:05:53. > :06:00.with Ebola virus. Doctors said she had made a full recovery in a month.
:06:01. > :06:04.Speaking in autumn she hoped the worst was behind her. Started with a
:06:05. > :06:09.few problems. My hair fell out. It has taken me a good few months to
:06:10. > :06:12.recover from it. That is the thing, you just don't know in the
:06:13. > :06:14.long-term, either. Hopefully this is it, this is the end of it, but we
:06:15. > :06:20.don't know. But nothing could have it, this is the end of it, but we
:06:21. > :06:23.prepared her for the turn of events. The virus re-emerged, having lived
:06:24. > :06:28.on in her brain and spinal fluid and cause meningitis. She survived being
:06:29. > :06:34.critically ill a second time but was monitored more closely. The
:06:35. > :06:37.monitoring team picked up something more unusual, which has led to
:06:38. > :06:42.today's admission to hospital. Probably more has been learnt about
:06:43. > :06:45.Ebola virus from Pauline than any other person on this planet. She is
:06:46. > :06:52.probably the most investigated case on Ebola on planet Earth at the
:06:53. > :06:57.moment. That investigation will help her. It will help the medical and
:06:58. > :07:00.nursing team look after her, which is their primary thing. It will help
:07:01. > :07:06.the rest of us gathered knowledge about this infection. Specialist at

:07:27. > :07:28.Exploration is at an all-time low in the North Sea -
:07:29. > :07:37.Tonight we are taking an in-depth look at the crisis and its
:07:38. > :07:50.consequences. Over the last 18 months the price of
:07:51. > :07:55.oil has fallen a very long way. And as a result the offshore industry,
:07:56. > :08:01.based in Aberdeen, has shed tens of thousands of jobs. But difficult
:08:02. > :08:06.days still lie ahead with investment levels falling very fast. The
:08:07. > :08:13.industry is having to scramble to save money. They are now calling on
:08:14. > :08:21.the Chancellor to step in, to safeguard North Sea production. This
:08:22. > :08:25.is how when oil firm saves $15 million. The boss of Chevron talks
:08:26. > :08:34.to the team on one of his offshore platforms to maximise production.
:08:35. > :08:38.How are things going today? The drilling operations impact... The
:08:39. > :08:43.company has also cut more than 300 jobs in the face of plummeting oil
:08:44. > :08:47.prices. The challenges are numerous. They are hitting us from a number of
:08:48. > :08:50.angles. It is important to continue working collaboratively, with more
:08:51. > :08:54.innovation, and even increased collaboration to get our costs down,
:08:55. > :08:59.improve efficiency, and further reduce the tax burden over time. The
:09:00. > :09:06.industry, here and across the UK, has had to work hard to adapt to
:09:07. > :09:11.lower oil prices. Last year it cost nearly $30 to produce a barrel of
:09:12. > :09:17.oil. Now, thanks to a efficiency is and tens of thousands of job losses,
:09:18. > :09:25.that cost has been driven down to around $20 a barrel, but it still
:09:26. > :09:29.isn't enough. Around half the oil fields are still running at a loss.
:09:30. > :09:36.And if that is worrying, considered huge investment plans. Over the last
:09:37. > :09:41.five years the industry has spent around ?8 billion a year on new
:09:42. > :09:48.projects. That is the level of investment. This year they only plan
:09:49. > :09:52.to invest around ?1 billion. With everything that means for jobs and
:09:53. > :09:57.production. And that has prompted a clear warning. The industry is
:09:58. > :09:59.really trying to fight for its survival in the years ahead. What we
:10:00. > :10:03.have seen is investment falling so survival in the years ahead. What we
:10:04. > :10:08.that new investment has come to an all-time low. And indeed,
:10:09. > :10:12.exploration. In a more positive view, production is up and getting
:10:13. > :10:16.better but unless we keep investing we have a very stark future in the
:10:17. > :10:22.North Sea. So what helped as the industry need to help with the low
:10:23. > :10:29.price of oil? -- help. There are calls for a cut in tax paid for by
:10:30. > :10:33.oil producers. We are paying 30% corporation tax. 10% more than the
:10:34. > :10:39.normal rate. On top of that, there is a supplementary tax, which was
:10:40. > :10:42.introduced taking into account higher oil prices and what they
:10:43. > :10:49.called excess profits. Doesn't make sense to have both of these. With
:10:50. > :10:54.less than a month until the Chancellor unveiling his Budget, it
:10:55. > :10:58.is clear now where oil firms want George Osborne to go. Further tax
:10:59. > :11:03.breaks might be on their agenda, but it is unclear if they are on his.
:11:04. > :11:08.That is how the industry is seeing things tonight but it isn't just
:11:09. > :11:12.people working offshore, or working in the oil industry who are feeling
:11:13. > :11:18.the pain. There is a knock-on impact for people right across the
:11:19. > :11:23.north-east of Scotland working in allsorts of businesses, who are also
:11:24. > :11:25.losing their jobs, losing a livelihood, because of the downturn
:11:26. > :11:34.in the North Sea industry. A Cachopa the copy for these friends

:11:55. > :11:58.seeing me and their dad going out for work, they are now asking about
:11:59. > :12:03.how much things cost, should we be spending this amount of money, when
:12:04. > :12:08.will you get a job? And there is a knock on effect, particularly when
:12:09. > :12:13.middle income jobs are lost. I had a chap doing some gardening for me. I
:12:14. > :12:18.had somebody earning for me on a weekly basis. I haven't seen my
:12:19. > :12:23.butcher since the turn of the year. All of these ancillary people that
:12:24. > :12:26.you own salary supports also need to be considered. Aberdeen has been
:12:27. > :12:31.reliant on the oil industry for decades and it has prospered. That
:12:32. > :12:35.steady flow of income is drying up, though, at least for now. But it
:12:36. > :12:37.isn't just workers within the oil industry who are affected. Across
:12:38. > :12:42.isn't just workers within the oil the region thousands of jobs are at
:12:43. > :12:45.risk. Hotel room revenues continue to slide with employers cutting back
:12:46. > :12:48.on staff. Restaurants say their to slide with employers cutting back
:12:49. > :12:52.earnings are also down with people spending less when they dine out.
:12:53. > :12:57.Many who have lost jobs are wary about speaking out, they are worried
:12:58. > :13:04.they might damage their future prospects. That isn't a problem for
:13:05. > :13:05.Bill Bruce who runs his own chauffeuring business, ferrying
:13:06. > :13:11.well-heeled executives around Aberdeen. We have to look at cutting
:13:12. > :13:17.back because of the lack of work that is going on in Aberdeen at the
:13:18. > :13:20.moment. Obviously it isn't just our company, it is other companies. We
:13:21. > :13:25.have had to lay off two people in the last three months. Big oil
:13:26. > :13:31.companies can sustain a certain percentage of their staff, but for
:13:32. > :13:35.smaller companies it has a knock on effect. Disappearing jobs and in
:13:36. > :13:37.many cases reduced hours it is a scenario for the north-east that
:13:38. > :13:44.doesn't seem likely to change any time soon.
:13:45. > :13:52.I am now joined by James Brame, many thanks for joining us tonight. We
:13:53. > :13:56.heard in that report from people who thanks for joining us tonight. We
:13:57. > :14:01.are having to cut back on spending, having to lay off staff, who are
:14:02. > :14:05.losing jobs themselves, how widespread is that feeling now? It
:14:06. > :14:09.is without doubt challenging times in the North East. It is not just
:14:10. > :14:13.the North Sea operators feeling a difficult environment. We are seeing
:14:14. > :14:18.supply chain companies feeling it, but also people like hoteliers,
:14:19. > :14:24.restaurant owners, and retailers as we start to see the reduced impact
:14:25. > :14:27.from households take hold. The oil and gas industry completely
:14:28. > :14:34.dominates this economy. We can see it here. The Vista here at Aberdeen
:14:35. > :14:38.harbour. Is there a plan B? Are there other ways here for people to
:14:39. > :14:45.earn a living? This is a resilient region. We have a long-term economic
:14:46. > :14:49.plan here. That is the good news. The oil and gas sector will
:14:50. > :14:52.diversify. It will be a success and continue to be a success
:14:53. > :14:56.internationally and in the North Sea with research and innovate. But we
:14:57. > :15:02.will also look at other sectors were just wrong already. The food and
:15:03. > :15:09.drink sector is one. -- which are strong already. There is a long-term

:21:38. > :21:43.games and tip nem our favour. -- them. When do you think they need to
:21:44. > :21:48.question the coach and players? I don't think we do. We are playing
:21:49. > :21:52.good rugby. We are performing better than what the results have been so
:21:53. > :21:56.far. This weekend will be the one. That's a big statement from the
:21:57. > :22:01.players. There is also a plea tonight to the fans. You know, stick
:22:02. > :22:04.by us. I know they will. That's Scottish mentality. There will be
:22:05. > :22:07.by us. I know they will. That's travelling support to Rome. We are
:22:08. > :22:12.going over there to win that game as much as for them as for ourselves.
:22:13. > :22:14.Scotland must turn good performances into victories or the clock may
:22:15. > :22:19.start ticking for those involved. Andy Murray's first match
:22:20. > :22:22.since becoming a Dad will be in next week's Davis Cup tie in Birmingham,
:22:23. > :22:24.alongside his big brother Jamie. The Murrays helped Britain win

:22:44. > :22:47.flares during a game It happened during their Europa
:22:48. > :22:52.League match against Fenerbatchey. Part of the fine is for the conduct
:22:53. > :22:56.of the team, receiving five or more Celtic's womens' team have
:22:57. > :23:05.signed a Danish winger - nothing so unusual about that
:23:06. > :23:08.you could say, but stick with me - the story gets a lot
:23:09. > :23:10.more interesting. For a start, her partner
:23:11. > :23:24.also plays for Celtic. This isn't just a football story.
:23:25. > :23:29.It's a love story. It was my twin sister's best friend. That's why I
:23:30. > :23:35.met her. We have always known each other since we were 12 years and
:23:36. > :23:41.been together since Wes were 14. We are 25 and 24. We know each other
:23:42. > :23:45.well. Her football has been parallel with mine. They share a life and
:23:46. > :23:52.passion for football and now a joining. She is joining a few weeks
:23:53. > :23:57.after Erik. I played for one of the top three teams. That is almost the
:23:58. > :24:04.same for Celtic. I will do my very best to keep them in the top and do
:24:05. > :24:10.even better. Her debut will have to wait for an obvious reason. In seven
:24:11. > :24:15.weeks I will give birth. Yeah. It's very soon. We are excited. Are you
:24:16. > :24:19.prepared for fatherhood and the sleepinessisation and all that?
:24:20. > :24:24.Sleepiness night I will take. We made a good agreement I can take the
:24:25. > :24:35.couch sometimes. We will be ready, for sure. Anna and Erik's baby boy
:24:36. > :24:40.is expected in April. Expect his first photo shot shortly afterwards.
:24:41. > :24:46.Indeed. That's your sport for tonight. Thank you.
:24:47. > :24:48.Yesterday, Iain Brown was rescuing men, women and children
:24:49. > :24:50.from treacherous seas around Turkey and Greece.
:24:51. > :24:52.Today, he was back at his home in Ayr.
:24:53. > :24:58.Over the past three weeks this man has saved the lives of over 250
:24:59. > :25:02.people. Iain Browne who volunteers with Air Coastguard was so moved by
:25:03. > :25:09.the pictures of children who drowned at sea that he flew out to Greece
:25:10. > :25:13.and worked for a charity for free. The rescues were dangerous and
:25:14. > :25:19.Harrowing. I opened the back hatch of the lifeboat. The first thing
:25:20. > :25:26.that hit me was the fumes and the carbon monoxide. I looked down it
:25:27. > :25:31.was a sea of faces, kids, women and just wimpering and crying and
:25:32. > :25:40.screaming. Iain was filmed rescuing families by the BBC last month. They
:25:41. > :25:47.were happy. The children got to me the most. I was lifting children up
:25:48. > :25:53.and I probably bruised everybody that I touched because my grip was
:25:54. > :25:58.so intense because you don't want to let that child go. You don't want
:25:59. > :26:01.that child in the water. An estimated two children a day are
:26:02. > :26:08.drowning in the eastern Mediterranean. It's reminiscent of a
:26:09. > :26:14.war. There are bodies everywhere. There is a complete disaster.
:26:15. > :26:20.Despite the horrors, Iain says he'll probably go back.
:26:21. > :26:23.here's Christopher with the forecast.
:26:24. > :26:30.Thank you there. Were showers around, as captured by one of our
:26:31. > :26:33.weather watchers. A snow shower, dramatic scenes. The snow showers
:26:34. > :26:37.continuing to northern parts of the country this evening. Fairly dry and
:26:38. > :26:42.Prosty elsewhere. We do have a yellow be aware morning to northern
:26:43. > :26:46.parts of the mainland, northern isles and western isles because of
:26:47. > :26:52.the snow showers to low levels and icy patches. For many, dry, clear
:26:53. > :26:55.and cold. Temperatures as low as minus five or more in the
:26:56. > :26:59.countryside. Tomorrow morning, rain showers to the south-west. More
:27:00. > :27:02.cloud here compared to today. For most of central, southern and
:27:03. > :27:07.south-eastern Scotland a dry sparkling day. Wintry showers
:27:08. > :27:13.pushing into northern parts of the mainland and northern isles. By mid
:27:14. > :27:18.afternoon a cloudier prospect across the south-west compared with today.
:27:19. > :27:23.One or two showers. Further east, dry and bright. Similar too through
:27:24. > :27:28.the central belt, some cloud here and there. Further north, the
:27:29. > :27:34.north-west cloud. Bright spells but frequent wintry showers. Quite a
:27:35. > :27:38.cold feel, two or three Celsius. Winds lighter than today but will
:27:39. > :27:43.feel raw at times. Into the evening wintry showers to northern parts of
:27:44. > :27:48.the mainland, icy patches, elsewhere largely dry, clear and cold once
:27:49. > :27:54.again with a widespread frost. Thursday, very few if any icer bars
:27:55. > :27:59.on the chart. Dry and bright for many. Sparkling sunshine for central
:28:00. > :28:03.southern parts. Further north the wintry showers continuing, confined
:28:04. > :28:07.to the north-west. Dryer to the north-east. The temperatures three
:28:08. > :28:13.to four Celsius. A cool feel despite the sun. Friday and the weekend, low
:28:14. > :28:18.pressure near by. Another largely dry settled picture. A few showers
:28:19. > :28:20.by Saturday to eastern parts of the country. That's the forecast for
:28:21. > :28:21.country. That's theforecast for forecast for now. Thank you
:28:22. > :28:26.Christopher. I'll be back with the headlines
:28:27. > :28:30.at 8.00pm and the late bulletin just Until then, from everyone
