Now on BBC One its time for the news where you are.

:00:00.:00:10.

Parents in Edinburgh have been talking about the challenges

:00:11.:00:13.

they face in the week ahead, with 17 schools in the capital

:00:14.:00:16.

They've been shut because of concerns over construction safety.

:00:17.:00:19.

This afternoon this family had all the superheroes out for

:00:20.:00:32.

nine-year-old Chi who has cerebral palsy.

:00:33.:00:34.

With his special needs school being one of the 17 schools, and Council

:00:35.:00:39.

has closed until further notice, it has been a very stressful weekend

:00:40.:00:43.

trying to organise childcare. His mother and father both work.

:00:44.:00:47.

That is finding the appropriate options. We have no understanding at

:00:48.:00:51.

all at this point as to how long this will go on for. The word

:00:52.:00:56.

indefinitely has been used on the website, which is a worry. What does

:00:57.:00:59.

that mean? It is not sustainable and it is

:01:00.:01:03.

difficult, especially coming in after the Easter break when we have

:01:04.:01:08.

had to take some time off. Whether that will be unpaid leave or annual

:01:09.:01:14.

leave, I have yet to find out? The Edinburgh Schools Partnership

:01:15.:01:18.

who managed to schools have been in meetings today. It was revealed

:01:19.:01:23.

yesterday that missing header ties at St Peter's primary and Oxgangs

:01:24.:01:26.

Primary had prompted the council to shut down also begin School built

:01:27.:01:29.

under the same private finance agreement. And Oxgangs, these

:01:30.:01:33.

parents were doing their best to keep their prime one daughter from

:01:34.:01:36.

worrying about what will now happen at her school. Oxgangs Primary was

:01:37.:01:42.

close just before the holidays for remedial work on all problems and it

:01:43.:01:46.

should have reopened tomorrow. I do not have confidence now. We had

:01:47.:01:51.

an issue one, now it is an issue too, how other many issues will be?

:01:52.:01:56.

They have had the Easter holidays, how they could find out that one

:01:57.:02:00.

day, I do not know. When the ball collapsed in January,

:02:01.:02:05.

period started by shocking enough. But as one said to me, had it not

period started by shocking enough. happened, when with his father

:02:10.:02:12.

safety issues come to light? Questions are now being asked as to

:02:13.:02:16.

why they were not spotted when these buildings were being completed.

:02:17.:02:18.

Aileen Clarke, Reporting Scotland, Edinburgh.

:02:19.:02:22.

All four of Scotland's party leaders have now

:02:23.:02:24.

Politicians here have been reacting in the wake

:02:25.:02:27.

of the Panama Papers scandal, which saw the Prime Minister publish

:02:28.:02:30.

tax details after being criticised for having an offshore account.

:02:31.:02:32.

Our political correspondent Andrew Kerr reports.

:02:33.:02:37.

In black-and-white, the SNP leader's tax return. There had been calls for

:02:38.:02:44.

Nicola Sturgeon to publish it after the Scottish Labour Leader released

:02:45.:02:47.

her study. Ms Sturgeon was happy to do so.

:02:48.:02:52.

The more transparency we have, the better, might only income is my

:02:53.:02:56.

salary. It is a very good one but it is all I have got to declare on my

:02:57.:03:00.

tax return. I will put it out there and people can look at it. I think

:03:01.:03:05.

all politicians, certainly in a position of leadership, should do

:03:06.:03:07.

likewise. Another leader who published his tax

:03:08.:03:11.

returns, the Prime Minister. After being criticised for having his

:03:12.:03:16.

shares on and off shore trust. The Scottish leader published hours but

:03:17.:03:18.

the party has concerns. I am happy to publish my tax return

:03:19.:03:23.

but I do not believe that ad hoc publication is the way forward. I

:03:24.:03:28.

believe it is about finding out the right balance, so that everyone

:03:29.:03:34.

abides by the same rules. Not quite the Masters at Augusta,

:03:35.:03:38.

but the Liberal Democrat Leader in Kirkcaldy is keen of eye of the land

:03:39.:03:42.

on this issue before taking a swing. Before we go any further we have to

:03:43.:03:46.

have the cold, hard look at this, to make sure that we are not creating

:03:47.:03:51.

barriers to politics that would be unhelpful. Therefore, perhaps

:03:52.:03:54.

outside of the election period, having a proper permission to get

:03:55.:03:59.

these arrangements. Politician's goal has been the focus

:04:00.:04:03.

of the Labour Party the past few days. Today they have gone further

:04:04.:04:06.

wanting stretched actuals for companies that were handed

:04:07.:04:10.

government contracts. If a company or an individual avoids

:04:11.:04:13.

tax, they should not be able to benefit from public contracts. And

:04:14.:04:17.

so a future Labour government would make sure that no public contract

:04:18.:04:23.

could be awarded to a company or individual if they have been found

:04:24.:04:26.

to be avoiding tax. Debates about tax affairs have

:04:27.:04:30.

dominated the agenda this weekend. There will be fresh political

:04:31.:04:33.

arguments this week as the main parties release their main

:04:34.:04:37.

manifestos. Andrew Kerr, Reporting Scotland, Edinburgh.

:04:38.:04:41.

Football, and Rangers have won the Scottish

:04:42.:04:42.

The League One side had already scored an own goal before

:04:43.:04:47.

James Tavernier hit a superb volley before half-time.

:04:48.:04:49.

Rangers won't be eligible to play in this competition next season,

:04:50.:04:51.

as it is only for teams outside the Premiership.

:04:52.:04:54.

Time for the weather forecast for this evening and the start

:04:55.:04:57.

Not a bad day at all weather. Beeson spells of sunshine hear is the map

:04:58.:05:14.

:05:15.:05:18.

Elsewhere some rain before dawn for parts of the South West. Some good

:05:19.:05:24.

:05:25.:05:30.

Elsewhere, temperatures holding up between three and five Celsius. And

:05:31.:05:33.

to the start of the working week, not a bad start to the beat. Some

:05:34.:05:38.

:05:39.:05:41.
