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 | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
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. | |
from 7pm. We will hang onto bits of the rain and the far north. | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
Elsewhere some rain before dawn for parts of the South West. Some good | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
clear spells. We could see some sheltered rural glen stepping 2-1dC. | :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. | |
mist and fog patches around for parts of the Highlands. Decent | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
weather, good spells uprightness, particularly so for the North West | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
Highlands. Elsewhere, a bit more in the way of cloud, but temperatures | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
responding well, his 15 Celsius. That is your forecast. | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
Our next update is just after the Ten O'Clock News. | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
Until then, from everyone on the team here in | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
Glasgow, enjoy the rest of your Sunday evening. | :06:01. | :06:02. |
