:03:12. > :03:17.Political ping-pong? No, the real thing at the Royal Hospital for
:03:18. > :03:22.children in Glasgow. The First Minister promises to fund vital
:03:23. > :03:27.services like this hospital. She also says that tax isn't a gain,
:03:28. > :03:33.it's real money from real households, and so caution. The SNP
:03:34. > :03:38.would freeze UK tax at levels, but block UK tax cut for higher earners.
:03:39. > :03:44.They would only raise the threshold by inflation. We would increase

:03:48. > :03:55.meet, but equally we don't think it is right to give a hectic tax cut to
:03:56. > :04:01.those on highest incomes. Nicola Sturgeon said she looked hard at a
:04:02. > :04:05.new tax rate, but concluded that tax earners could avoid it. She said
:04:06. > :04:10.that her scheme will raise ?1 billion over five years, but that
:04:11. > :04:17.means higher earners paying more in Scotland and elsewhere. The
:04:18. > :04:21.Conservatives say that that is wrong and that tax in Scotland should be
:04:22. > :04:25.no higher than the rest of the UK. Scotland is going to be the highest
:04:26. > :04:28.taxed part of the UK if she gets back into office. Fundamentally, I
:04:29. > :04:34.don't think we should be taxed more then the UK. The Liberal Democrats
:04:35. > :04:39.say that it will be a one in 1% increase across all rates of zero
:04:40. > :04:43.rate tax band. They said that the SNP have bottled it. It is
:04:44. > :04:47.pathetically timid. They are not going to raise a single pound extra
:04:48. > :04:55.for public services. Kezia Dugdale going to raise a single pound extra
:04:56. > :05:03.also wants to pump up tax rates. She also backs the rate for the highest
:05:04. > :05:08.earners. She wants to replace the council tax with a new property tax.
:05:09. > :05:17.They would review all Scotland's houses full stop they would be a
:05:18. > :05:22.base rate of ?450. Above that value, the charge would be not for 9%. The
:05:23. > :05:27.maximum charge in the first year would be ?3000. After that, annual
:05:28. > :05:35.increases would be capped at 3%. They would be rebates for low
:05:36. > :05:39.earners. We would base income tax on the value of your property today. It
:05:40. > :05:46.percent of people would pay less than they do today. Labour would
:05:47. > :05:51.also allow council tax to pay a levy tax. It's about what you pay, about
:05:52. > :05:58.Scottish income tax. It's about council tax and it's your choice.

:06:41. > :06:43.The Abusive Behaviour and Sexual Harm Bill
:06:44. > :06:45.is being described as a landmark piece of legislation,
:06:46. > :06:47.but falls short of creating a specific offence of
:06:48. > :07:02.Barbara, as we have called her, survived an abusive marriage. Caught
:07:03. > :07:05.in a vicious cycle of physical, emotional and psychological harm.
:07:06. > :07:11.The feeling of isolation, the feeling of being trapped, of not
:07:12. > :07:16.being in control of my own life. She says the legislation is a welcome
:07:17. > :07:23.step to helping others. It identifies the behaviours other than
:07:24. > :07:29.physical violence are unacceptable in law. Therefore, they are
:07:30. > :07:39.unacceptable to society. The new Bill will expand the law. It sets
:07:40. > :07:49.out a new specific aggravation. It will make nonconsensual sharing of
:07:50. > :07:53.private images and offence. At the end of the case, if a person is
:07:54. > :07:58.found guilty of eight case and the court is satisfied that there has
:07:59. > :08:04.been psychological or physical harm, they must state that in court and
:08:05. > :08:08.the court must take that into account in sentencing. This may fall
:08:09. > :08:14.short on creating a specific offence for domestic and try abuse, but it
:08:15. > :08:18.will make the court process more transparent. Further legislation is
:08:19. > :08:25.being considered. Charities say that the legislation is in Dott an
:08:26. > :08:30.important step, but they must acknowledge that it is more than
:08:31. > :08:34.physical. Women have been telling us for years that the worst abuse is
:08:35. > :08:44.emotional and psychological entrapment that controlling domestic
:08:45. > :08:46.abuse looks like. This new Bill will lead the way for others tackling
:08:47. > :08:49.abuse. 100-year-old laws governing burials
:08:50. > :08:51.and cremations have been modernised The legislation will require
:08:52. > :08:54.councils to retain details of services, as well as creating
:08:55. > :08:58.a legal definition of ashes. It takes forward recommendations
:08:59. > :09:00.from Lord Bonomy's inquiry into the secret disposal of baby
:09:01. > :09:05.ashes without the parents' knowledge at Mortonhall Crematorium

:09:09. > :09:14.in Aberdeen, Fife and Glasgow. A city-region deal has been agreed
:09:15. > :09:17.for the Inverness area, which will see ?315 million worth
:09:18. > :09:19.of public money being invested in a range of projects
:09:20. > :09:23.over the next ten years. The cash will help pay
:09:24. > :09:25.for improvements to roads, telecommunications coverage
:09:26. > :09:39.and tourism schemes. It's taken two years of
:09:40. > :09:43.negotiations, but today it finally became reality, with ministers from
:09:44. > :09:47.the UK and Scottish regiments, together with Highland Council,
:09:48. > :09:52.signing an agreement which will see more than ?300 million pumped into
:09:53. > :09:56.the economy of Inverness and the wider Highlands. One high-profile
:09:57. > :10:01.scheme is to transform Inverness Castle, currently the home of the
:10:02. > :10:06.city's Sheriff Court, into a central to research action. It will mean
:10:07. > :10:11.that there is a premier tourist attraction available to terrorists.
:10:12. > :10:16.One of the issues at the moment is the dwell time. People don't stay
:10:17. > :10:19.here. If you make an attraction like the castle, it will increase the
:10:20. > :10:24.amount of money being spent in this area. It is hoped that it will help
:10:25. > :10:32.money being invested in private accounts also. This will create
:10:33. > :10:36.thousands of jobs. We want to really encourage young people who are born
:10:37. > :10:40.in this region to stay here, but then attract new young people to
:10:41. > :10:44.come and make their life this year. That will transform the economy of
:10:45. > :10:56.Inverness and the Highland region. There is to be investment also in a

:11:06. > :11:09.want us to get on with it and I want us to think about what the next
:11:10. > :11:13.thing will be, how can we attract more to do more? The ultimate hope
:11:14. > :11:17.is that all of this economic investment will persuade young
:11:18. > :11:22.people in the Highlands that there are opportunities and a reason to

:11:23. > :11:33.It's over to Kawser now for the weather outlook.
:11:34. > :11:42.A largely cloudy night so far and that will remain through the night.
:11:43. > :11:48.In Angus there was bright sunshine today. You can see from the
:11:49. > :11:53.satellite images there is lots of cloud. We will continue to see those
:11:54. > :11:56.cloudy conditions. High pressure has been dominating our weather and will
:11:57. > :12:01.continue to do so at least for the time being. For the rest of the
:12:02. > :12:05.night, largely cloudy conditions for staff in the Borders, temperatures
:12:06. > :12:09.may dip to two or three Celsius. We are likely to see a frost tonight.
:12:10. > :12:14.Tomorrow morning, a cloudy start. There may be some damp weather for
:12:15. > :12:19.the far north-west and Northern Isles, but elsewhere largely dry and
:12:20. > :12:22.maybe brighter spells across the south-eastern corner. Tomorrow

:12:28. > :12:32.conditions of the hills in Aberdeenshire, Tim butchers around
:12:33. > :12:39.six or 7 degrees, so quite cool. We will see a week weather front making

:12:45. > :12:48.Scotland. Temperatures around nine or 10 degrees. Elsewhere, holding
:12:49. > :12:54.onto the dry weather, needy 30 degrees here. That week weather
:12:55. > :12:58.front would continue to make its way across. Perhaps bringing some patchy
:12:59. > :13:04.weather across Glasgow and Edinburgh to end the day. It's not to last,
:13:05. > :13:09.because there is another weather front pushing in across the west
:13:10. > :13:16.bringing some wet and windy weather for Thursday. Quite wet and windy
:13:17. > :13:21.for Thursday, especially across the Northern Isles. Temperatures around
:13:22. > :13:25.nine or 10 degrees, is appealing cool. For Good Friday, that will
:13:26. > :13:27.clear through, so largely dry conditions. The best of conditions
