:01:07. > :01:09.Ruth Davidson, has promised to fight for NHS spending increases
:01:10. > :01:11.and against Scotland becoming She made the pledges at her party's

:01:25. > :01:40.here's Glenn Campbell. Ruth Davidson is not playing to win
:01:41. > :01:45.power at Holyrood. At Murrayfield, her pitch is for the Conservatives
:01:46. > :01:46.to displace labour and become the main opposition to an SNP
:01:47. > :01:48.government. To challenge them to reduce NHS
:01:49. > :01:57.targets and keep the health budget rising. Spending on
:01:58. > :01:59.our health service should rise each year by
:02:00. > :02:06.whatever is biased, whether that is inflation, 2%, or by extra funding
:02:07. > :02:09.from Westminster. Every single penny passed on.
:02:10. > :02:18.She said the time was not right for a tax cut but promised to resist tax
:02:19. > :02:22.rises. There is no justification, none at all, for demanding a higher
:02:23. > :02:33.tax burden on Scottish families than on people elsewhere in the UK. It
:02:34. > :02:36.would have been laughable previously for a Conservative leader to suggest
:02:37. > :02:44.the Tories might overtake the Labour Party. To be honest, it is still an
:02:45. > :02:48.ambitious target. The polls suggest they are still third placed that
:02:49. > :02:52.begat between them and Labour has never been narrower, and the Prime
:02:53. > :02:55.Minister things it can be closed. Today we are the effective
:02:56. > :03:02.opposition and for the next 62 days we will fight to the official
:03:03. > :03:05.opposition. He also touched on his case for us to remain in the EU.
:03:06. > :03:09.We have worked so hard to get our economy growing, to get our people
:03:10. > :03:15.into work, to see living standards rise.
:03:16. > :03:24.Leaving the EU could put so much of that at risk. On the fringe, the
:03:25. > :03:28.alternative view. I think we should be to make our own laws and control
:03:29. > :03:33.our borders, which is why I want to leave because we cannot do that
:03:34. > :03:36.while in the European Union. The EU vote divides the Tory party but in
:03:37. > :03:39.Scotland they have a Holyrood election to focus on first. Let us
:03:40. > :03:50.win for Scotland. Brian Taylor joins me from
:03:51. > :03:56.Edinburgh. We have heard from Ruth Davidson but what is the strategy
:03:57. > :04:02.underlying what she said? In essence, to some extent it is a
:04:03. > :04:06.legacy from the referendum. She is positing the prospect of a
:04:07. > :04:09.continuing SNP government with Nicola Sturgeon returned as First
:04:10. > :04:16.Minister and the opinion polls bear that out. It is a legacy from the
:04:17. > :04:20.referendum. Just as the SNP have managed to corral the yes vote to
:04:21. > :04:24.continue to vote for them in elections, so Ruth Davidson believes
:04:25. > :04:28.a substantial section of the No voters can become rows to the
:04:29. > :04:32.Tories. She was hugely tempted to offer a tax cut as part of the
:04:33. > :04:36.programme but it was not playing well on the doorstep, so at the very
:04:37. > :04:41.least she offers to undercut the labour and Liberal Democrat offer.
:04:42. > :04:47.Basically, it is a transactional deal with voters. It is saying, we
:04:48. > :04:50.don't trust the SNP, the Conservatives will stand against tax
:04:51. > :04:56.rises and against a second referendum on independence, offering
:04:57. > :05:01.to be a Bulwark and is to the SNP at Holyrood. It is a transactional
:05:02. > :05:04.bargain but whether the voters by it is another matter.

:05:48. > :05:50.Let's talk now to our education correspondent Jamie McIvor who's
:05:51. > :06:12.It is a complicated pay dispute but essentially linked to the return of
:06:13. > :06:17.national pay bargaining in colleges. The main issue for many colleges is
:06:18. > :06:21.the planned 1% national pay rise, along with differences between what
:06:22. > :06:28.lecturers earn a different colleges, despite doing similar jobs.
:06:29. > :06:30.According to the further education lecturers' Association there are
:06:31. > :06:36.disparities of up to ?10,000 per year. The plan is for a national
:06:37. > :06:40.one-day strike a week on Thursday but it could escalate very quickly.
:06:41. > :06:45.One plan would see national strikes three days a week every week
:06:46. > :06:48.following the Easter break. This has the potential to become a major
:06:49. > :06:54.running national strike in the run-up to the Scottish election.
:06:55. > :06:57.There has been a big shake-up in the college sector. Has that been part
:06:58. > :07:03.of the issue that has exercised college lecturers? Well, the dispute
:07:04. > :07:04.of the issue that has exercised itself is strictly over pay but
:07:05. > :07:09.there has been that big shake-up in itself is strictly over pay but
:07:10. > :07:13.the college sector in recent years. Jobs have gone, budgets are down and
:07:14. > :07:16.there has been a big drop in the number of part-time students. These
:07:17. > :07:22.are controversial issues for some and I doubt we will hear them raised
:07:23. > :07:28.by some who go on strike. Although the dispute is strictly about pay
:07:29. > :07:32.and pay alone. The body that represents Scotland's colleges has
:07:33. > :07:36.issued a statement. It says the pay deal on offer is the best possible
:07:37. > :07:41.in what it describes as the current difficult financial situation, and
:07:42. > :07:45.the Scottish Government says a strike would be in nobody's
:07:46. > :07:47.interests and is calling on both sides to get together to try to find
:07:48. > :07:48.a solution. You're watching Reporting

:08:53. > :08:56.that comes around every year. For regular users, the state of the
:08:57. > :09:02.roads is a constant concern. One minute you are driving and the next
:09:03. > :09:06.minute, straight into a pothole. Then you are driving away, so you
:09:07. > :09:13.don't really take heed of what to do about it. You just drive on. I ride
:09:14. > :09:20.a bicycle in town a lot, and there are a lot of serious potholes that
:09:21. > :09:27.could really crush a wheel. They should be filled. The bus ride from
:09:28. > :09:33.the airport was horrendous. One of the most rattling rides I have had
:09:34. > :09:38.for a long while. Up and down the country, it seems the streets are
:09:39. > :09:40.littered with potholes. Here in Edinburgh, councils acknowledge
:09:41. > :09:45.there has been an increase this year, which is why they have set up
:09:46. > :09:51.special teams to fix them. The council says it will also invest in
:09:52. > :09:54.permanent repairs in targeted areas. We are looking at rolling out a new
:09:55. > :09:57.permanent repairs in targeted areas. surface, so we can do more roads and
:09:58. > :10:02.it means they will not get into that condition. We are looking at a
:10:03. > :10:06.particular problem at bus stops and reinforcing bus stops in certain
:10:07. > :10:11.areas with heavy numbers of buses coming in and out. We are looking at
:10:12. > :10:16.every way we can to prevent us getting to the situation where the
:10:17. > :10:20.roads are in such poor condition. It is also encouraging residents to
:10:21. > :10:26.report defects to a dedicated website. Cyclists want a long-term
:10:27. > :10:31.improvement. Riding to work should be pleasant and enjoyable, but going
:10:32. > :10:36.with the potholes, it is rough and not as safe, because you have to
:10:37. > :10:41.keep avoiding them. If you go into them, you might come off. In
:10:42. > :10:44.Edinburgh, the council say that the pothole patrol is part of a ?50

:18:18. > :18:21.things up inside an hour and a half, the perfect start to Britain's title

:19:45. > :19:50.Tayside. Predictions, and a man who has played for both sides. I have to
:19:51. > :19:55.say Rangers, purely because they are on the front foot. They have scored
:19:56. > :20:01.in every game this season as well. But Dundee will go in there thinking
:20:02. > :20:06.they can get an upset. Since their absence from Scotland's top league,
:20:07. > :20:11.Rangers have played top-flight opposition on 12 occasions. Of those
:20:12. > :20:18.12 games, they have won five. They haven't faced Dundee though. They
:20:19. > :20:23.have to defend this corner... It's a Dundee side in fine form. They held
:20:24. > :20:27.Celtic to a draw at Parkhead at the weekend and this sitter was all that
:20:28. > :20:36.denied them victory. Is there a favourite? No. A cup game with two
:20:37. > :20:40.good squads. Both teams try to make the semifinals. Rangers deservedly
:20:41. > :20:45.knocked out Kilmarnock in the last round. It will be a cracking game.
