:02:41. > :02:46.is the leader of Ukip in Scotland. The letter says he is not suited to
:02:47. > :02:51.being the Scottish face of the Brexit campaign and should be
:02:52. > :02:56.replaced as spokesperson. This former activist in Glasgow agrees
:02:57. > :03:00.changes needed at the top. The parties really autocratic, it is a
:03:01. > :03:07.pure dictatorship so there will be no change in Scotland unless the top
:03:08. > :03:11.brass are fully removed. Jobs are what we require. Despite the
:03:12. > :03:17.criticism David Coburn continues to make the case for Ukip in Scotland.

:03:39. > :03:44.prospect of getting elected into Hollywood all sorts of rivalries
:03:45. > :03:48.come into play. Mr Farage is expected to join David Coburn on the
:03:49. > :03:52.campaign trail tomorrow but white Ukip is fighting an election and
:03:53. > :03:54.referendum party members in Scotland are also fighting among themselves.

:03:59. > :04:11.It is often said that divided parties do not win so this is
:04:12. > :04:14.damaging for Ukip at a time when they are fighting for seats here in
:04:15. > :04:17.Holyrood, in a campaign that should give them their best chance of a
:04:18. > :04:23.breakthrough here because the backdrop for that campaign is the
:04:24. > :04:27.bigger debate about the UK's membership of the European union,
:04:28. > :04:33.whether we should be in or out, and to achieve an Out vote is the reason
:04:34. > :04:38.that Ukip exists. And in the Scottish context they are in a
:04:39. > :04:43.unique position with six parties with elected parliamentarians in
:04:44. > :04:48.Scotland there is is the only one to advocate a Leave vote. Despite all
:04:49. > :04:52.of that questions for Nigel Farage and David Cockburn as they campaign

:04:58. > :05:01.divisions this letter reveals within the party, the doubts that exist
:05:02. > :05:05.about the leadership of David Coburn. There's been a big bout of
:05:06. > :05:12.infighting in Ukip Scotland before. In fact it led to the party being
:05:13. > :05:15.put into special measures by the UK leadership and it's never come out
:05:16. > :05:20.of that position which has fuelled some of the frustration felt by
:05:21. > :05:25.activists who feel that their voices are not heard and that this party
:05:26. > :05:27.has turned into something of a dictatorship. Thank you.

:06:06. > :06:11.many miles away. Their own school buildings are too dangerous to open.
:06:12. > :06:16.It's very good, actually. Because it has been here longer and we have
:06:17. > :06:21.more fun. It feels awkward being bussed all over the city but I am
:06:22. > :06:25.glad we have been off for a few weeks. It takes time to transport
:06:26. > :06:29.the children at rush hour, time which should be spent learning. It
:06:30. > :06:32.the children at rush hour, time might be fun for the children but
:06:33. > :06:36.one week extra holiday and Easter has meant extra childcare costs and
:06:37. > :06:40.more time off work for many families and now there are fresh concerns,
:06:41. > :06:45.how this disruption will affect their education. I am more scared
:06:46. > :06:51.today about them going on coaches. I'm not happy about that. It is a
:06:52. > :06:54.pain but I would rather they were safe than in harms way. The
:06:55. > :07:02.education will be spoilt because they have to travel. Warm welcomes
:07:03. > :07:07.from many schools but this school had yet another day off, they will
:07:08. > :07:12.start again tomorrow. At first it seemed the impossible task, the
:07:13. > :07:16.early we were in was full of rubbish and was not clean and did not look
:07:17. > :07:21.like classrooms but thanks to the stuff it's been transformed into a
:07:22. > :07:25.lovely school. The school buildings affected are owned and managed by
:07:26. > :07:29.Edinburgh schools partnership. Again no update come in a statement, no
:07:30. > :07:34.interviews from them. The council has been left to cope. We've had to
:07:35. > :07:39.put these operations in place, there's no doubt of it, not a
:07:40. > :07:42.perfect situation, clearly disruptive, time to minimise the
:07:43. > :07:48.disruption as far as we possibly can. Some schools are split over
:07:49. > :07:52.several locations, their teaching team fragmented, siblings separated
:07:53. > :07:54.and parents worried there is still no word when this major displacement
:07:55. > :07:57.of children will end. A retired Catholic priest has
:07:58. > :07:59.appeared in court charged with sex Eighty-year-old Father Paul Moore,
:08:00. > :08:03.who lives in Largs, was charged at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court
:08:04. > :08:05.with lewd, indecent and libidinous He made no plea or declaration
:08:06. > :08:15.and was granted bail. The trial of two women accused
:08:16. > :08:18.of killing two-year-old Liam Fee, who was found dead at a house
:08:19. > :08:22.in Glenrothes, has heard a young boy say he made up a story
:08:23. > :08:24.about strangling Liam In a recorded interview the child
:08:25. > :08:29.said he'd put his hand over the toddler's mouth earlier
:08:30. > :08:31.in the week but that he was Liam's mother, Rachel Fee,

:08:36. > :08:37.on another child. The trial at the High Court
:08:38. > :08:42.in Livingston continues. People in Falkirk have been coming
:08:43. > :08:45.to terms with the news that one of their most-enduring employers
:08:46. > :08:48.is shutting down. The closure of Falkirk sink
:08:49. > :08:51.manufacturer Carron Phoenix is also occupying political minds
:08:52. > :08:55.at the Scottish TUC in Dundee. But first Aileen Clarke reports
:08:56. > :09:08.on the mood in Falkirk. The day shift leaving Carron Phoenix
:09:09. > :09:13.in Falkirk this afternoon. 24 hours on from hearing that the site will
:09:14. > :09:17.close by the end of next year. Can I ask you what the mood was like in
:09:18. > :09:22.the planned today? It wasn't very good at all. As you can
:09:23. > :09:32.they are quite sad. Falkirk town centre just miles from the Carron
:09:33. > :09:37.Phoenix works. The busker doing his best to play happy to but that was
:09:38. > :09:42.the only cheer in a high street looking for retailers and a town sad
:09:43. > :09:46.to lose so many skills, well-established jobs. Should
:09:47. > :09:51.imagine most people in Falkirk had some sort of connection to the
:09:52. > :09:55.plant. There's enough redundancies and unemployment in the town at the
:09:56. > :10:02.moment as it is. Quite devastating for a lot of families. The steeple
:10:03. > :10:05.has been renovated as part of a drive to reinvigorate the high
:10:06. > :10:09.street and the council will also be involved in efforts to get the
:10:10. > :10:13.workforce re-employed. Just recently we've seen the effect of one closure
:10:14. > :10:18.and that has affected companies round about here in Falkirk, so
:10:19. > :10:22.Falkirk's economy has faced a number of upheavals in recent years and we
:10:23. > :10:27.are still working on that. What we want to do is make sure that we can
:10:28. > :10:32.be as positive as possible in the circumstances. The council point to
:10:33. > :10:37.a successful bus company just down the road as evidence that there is
:10:38. > :10:41.life left in Manufacturing here but Frank, who own the works, say
:10:42. > :10:44.life left in Manufacturing here but upgrading in Falkirk was not viable.
:10:45. > :10:49.Production is being moved to Slovakia. This plant does have a
:10:50. > :10:53.long and very proud history but one worker told me he had today that he
:10:54. > :10:56.believed it was a lack of investment in recent years which has led to
:10:57. > :11:02.this decision to close it. And that is a bitter blow for the staff.
:11:03. > :11:07.Aileen Clarke, Reporting Scotland, Falkirk.
:11:08. > :11:09.Meanwhile, political leaders from all parties have promised to do
:11:10. > :11:11.all they can to help the Carron Phoenix workers.
:11:12. > :11:14.The issue was raised at the Scottish TUC conference in Dundee.
:11:15. > :11:15.I'm joined from there by our political editor
:11:16. > :11:18.Brian, what are the politicians saying?
:11:19. > :11:22.It was Nicola Sturgeon's turned to address Scottish TUC delegates in
:11:23. > :11:28.the hole behind me. Her theme among other points, it was a
:11:29. > :11:29.willingness to intervene in industry in an
:11:30. > :11:42.effort to protect jobs where possible. It turned out to be grimly
:11:43. > :11:44.appropriate. What can politicians do in the face of job losses? Nicola
:11:45. > :11:48.Sturgeon said her party had intervened to
:11:49. > :11:53.help with the Clyde and Lanarkshire steel jobs.
:11:54. > :11:57.And so, when she met workers from Carron Phoenix in Dundee she
:11:58. > :12:04.promised to do everything she could, while stressing that it would be
:12:05. > :12:05.vital first to gather the facts. We will do everything possible to
:12:06. > :12:12.secure given to the workers and the trade
:12:13. > :12:15.unions. We made a similar commitment with the steel plants and have been
:12:16. > :12:19.able to secure a future for them. But this stage I'm not going to tell
:12:20. > :12:26.someone that I can deliver what I don't yet know that I can
:12:27. > :12:28.deliver but I will promise, as we did in steel, to leave no stone
:12:29. > :12:32.unturned. Obviously she cannot assure it but they will be an
:12:33. > :12:39.outcome this way that way she says she will deal with that and and is
:12:40. > :12:44.good she is on our side. Of course we are in the middle of the
:12:45. > :12:48.Hollywood election campaign and presumably all parties have voiced
:12:49. > :12:50.their willingness to assist? They have, of course, all the parties
:12:51. > :13:01.seeking to protect their policies on the campaign. Full of
:13:02. > :13:02.comments of anxiety and sympathy for those facing job losses.
:13:03. > :13:08.Very worrying time for people in Aberdeen and Falkirk, losing jobs,
:13:09. > :13:11.we must redouble our efforts to help those people out of work. Helping
:13:12. > :13:16.them access the skills they need to return to work.
:13:17. > :13:19.In the longer term we have to make sure we have government support
:13:20. > :13:23.available for people to Rhys Gill all the time. The economy in
:13:24. > :13:27.Scotland needs robust intervention strategy to make sure we are
:13:28. > :13:31.supporting vital industries in Scotland. We also need to make sure
:13:32. > :13:33.we have a skilled workforce and that is why we have the Carron
:13:34. > :13:36.Phoenix workforce, some excellent workers and we need to support them
:13:37. > :13:42.to make sure we've got continued employment, we need to
:13:43. > :13:44.invest in skill and training, education is that part of this.
:13:45. > :13:50.Rhys we need all our government agencies to work on the ground,
:13:51. > :13:54.helping, to see if there is only as far we can take this forward,
:13:55. > :13:58.helping with the workforce themselves, we also need a regime in
:13:59. > :13:59.Scotland, business regime that supports the companies
:14:00. > :14:06.that are here. And of course the Scottish TUC here describing this
:14:07. > :14:12.unbelievable Falkirk workers and pleading for support to help them in
:14:13. > :14:14.that regard. In terms of the election the focus tomorrow moving
:14:15. > :14:18.on to the SNP manifesto, I'm certain the jobs and
:14:19. > :14:21.economy will be centre stage for that as well. Thank you.

:15:18. > :15:21.one income -based tax. And the E for environmentalism, they want free
:15:22. > :15:26.public transport. So the movement turned into a party, how

:15:27. > :15:34.in the manifesto introduction, except percentage with pens and they
:15:35. > :15:39.get the threshold wrong for the 40p tax rate. Small details, says the
:15:40. > :15:43.party, look at the bigger picture. Rise offers an alternative, a
:15:44. > :15:49.manifesto no one else is offering, we are talking about a living wage
:15:50. > :15:53.to eradicate poverty wages, 100,000 new houses, affordable housing and a
:15:54. > :15:57.second referendum primarily because that is the big issue in this

:16:20. > :16:24.this party risks splitting the pro-independence vote. There was
:16:25. > :16:28.never going to be one route to independence and I don't believe
:16:29. > :16:35.that one party will ever get there and I think the SNP realise that as
:16:36. > :16:38.well. The independence referendum fundamentally changed the political
:16:39. > :16:39.landscape and now the party hopes voters will rise up to the prospect

:17:26. > :17:29.and since then Hibs players have recuperated at the East Lothian
:17:30. > :17:34.training base. But it will be a hectic schedule coming up for Alan
:17:35. > :17:40.Stubbs and his players. The Easter Road side still has four league
:17:41. > :17:44.matches and then the play-offs. If successful, a double-header in the
:17:45. > :17:52.play-off final as well as a return to Hamden Park. A total of 11 games
:17:53. > :17:58.in 36 days. Yes, it is a lot of games but success is one thing that
:17:59. > :18:02.everybody strives for in football. Players and managers. And when you

:22:48. > :22:52.but when I heard about the musical, I started listening to their songs,
:22:53. > :22:57.and I listen to them every day. We have fallen in love with the music.
:22:58. > :23:01.And for Gallagher and Lyle, that love of Largs has never left them.
:23:02. > :23:05.Some of those songs we wrote in London, I don't think we realised at
:23:06. > :23:11.the time, but we were very influenced by the upbringing here,
:23:12. > :23:15.and it is great to see it still there, still getting these very
:23:16. > :23:23.emotional sweeps, when you see the kids doing it, it is wonderful. It
:23:24. > :23:26.is not a daft dream. We were told, get a real job, but luckily we held
:23:27. > :23:35.an long enough until Paul McCartney signed us, and that saved us from a
:23:36. > :23:39.miserable failure! The show opens tomorrow, but like
:23:40. > :23:48.its most famous sons, the hope is it will travel the world.

:24:00. > :24:03.Tonight, an audience of voters will get the chance to question
:24:04. > :24:09.politicians about their policies on energy and the environment. So
:24:10. > :24:11.please do join us tonight at 10:30pm on BBC Two Scotland.
:24:12. > :24:25.Hello. Lovely spring sunshine for many of us today, some blue skies,
:24:26. > :24:33.but I picture perfect scene there in Dumfriesshire. Clear skies mean a
:24:34. > :24:37.largely clear night but also chilly. A little breeze from the south-west,
:24:38. > :24:42.and a few spots of light rain. To the south and east of the great
:24:43. > :24:48.Glen, it is dry and largely clear, quite chilly. A few inland parts of
:24:49. > :24:54.Aberdeenshire could be down to freezing or even lowers. A largely
:24:55. > :24:57.Aberdeenshire could be down to settled day tomorrow, but one or two
:24:58. > :25:02.weather friends could wring some thicker cloud, and one or two
:25:03. > :25:05.showers. That will slowly drifting towards parts of Murray and
:25:06. > :25:07.Aberdeenshire, elsewhere dry and broke through the morning, the
:25:08. > :25:13.clouds slowly building through the course of the afternoon. Prolonged
:25:14. > :25:18.sunshine likely along the Solway coast, but inland, it is dry and
:25:19. > :25:21.bright but slowly gliding over. Pleasant, 14 Celsius, with light
:25:22. > :25:27.winds really quite nice. Further north, a little more in the way of
:25:28. > :25:30.cloud once again, but you will notice some brighter moments coming
:25:31. > :25:35.through as we had through the course of the afternoon. Into the evening
:25:36. > :25:40.and overnight, staying largely dry, the cloud melting away. Then the
:25:41. > :25:45.Thursday, the high pressure just about holding on but retreating west
:25:46. > :25:50.out of the Atlantic, so a sign of change afoot. But for most on
:25:51. > :25:57.Thursday, another dry and settled day, sunny in the south, cloudy in
:25:58. > :26:01.the north and then a role reversal. Cooler in the north, up to 15
:26:02. > :26:05.Celsius in the south, but it doesn't last, look at that chart for the
:26:06. > :26:12.weekend, cold northerly winds, so a real change in type. We will start
:26:13. > :26:15.to see that cold air on Friday, 7-8dC in the north, still just about
:26:16. > :26:21.double digit in the south, but cold air for the weekend. S
:26:22. > :26:25.Now, a reminder of tonight's main news.
:26:26. > :26:27.Senior Ukip activists are calling for Scottish leader David Coburn
:26:28. > :26:28.to be replaced, complaining of "dysfunctional management"
:26:29. > :26:39.Mr Coburn has declined a formal interview, but dismisses the
:26:40. > :26:40.criticism is nonsense. That's it from us. Good
