:00:00. > :00:00.That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me.
:00:00. > :00:17.And on BBC One, we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.
:00:18. > :00:20.Tonight, on an extended Reporting Scotland election special.
:00:21. > :00:23.ScottishPower is fined 18 million pounds for failing to
:00:24. > :00:33.Lengthy call wait times, but you don't get anywhere.
:00:34. > :00:36.In the election campaign we have the second of our leader interviews.
:00:37. > :00:38.Tonight it's the turn of Willie Rennie the leader
:00:39. > :00:46.And I will be reporting from Glasgow Pollok on the SNP battle. I will
:00:47. > :00:50.talk to the people and I will talk to the parties.
:00:51. > :00:54.How a lack of ventilation in your home might be exposing
:00:55. > :00:59.And Jamie Murray returns to his roots - the Davis Cup winner
:01:00. > :01:20.is in Dunblane to say thanks to the town for its support.
:01:21. > :01:27.Scottish Power has been told to pay ?18 million in penalties for failing
:01:28. > :01:35.It has been criticised by the industry regulator Ofgem
:01:36. > :01:37.for "unacceptable" delays to call handling, billing and complaints.
:01:38. > :01:42.Our business and economy editor, Douglas Fraser, reports.
:01:43. > :01:51.At ScottishPower, we think about what energy is and what it can do in
:01:52. > :01:55.the real world. In the real world outside this advert, its customers
:01:56. > :01:57.have been left waiting on the phone, or for their bill. One of the big
:01:58. > :02:03.have been left waiting on the phone, six energy supplies, ScottishPower
:02:04. > :02:07.joins rivals in being heavily penalised for the treatment of its
:02:08. > :02:12.customer. In Lanarkshire, this lady was one. She set up a direct debit
:02:13. > :02:20.to pay her bills. Founder money was not taken out of account and she was
:02:21. > :02:24.ignored and is now left with a backdated claim. They think I still
:02:25. > :02:30.owe them money. It is well over ?1000. They have no record of any
:02:31. > :02:37.gas that was supplied, but they have been chasing me for it. It has been
:02:38. > :02:42.well documented and it is stressful in my late stages of pregnancy. The
:02:43. > :02:45.regulator found the Spanish owned company let down customers while
:02:46. > :02:53.changing its IT system four years ago. Call waiting times were found
:02:54. > :02:58.to be too high, which some reported reach 30 minutes. 300,000 bills were
:02:59. > :03:01.late, leading to a million complaints and those complaints were
:03:02. > :03:07.handled too slowly. The problems were still being resolved earlier
:03:08. > :03:12.this year. Ofgem is giving ScottishPower a fine of only ?1, but
:03:13. > :03:17.requiring it to pay ?80 million on penalties after 15 million for
:03:18. > :03:21.failing to support vulnerable customers and 3 million to charity.
:03:22. > :03:24.It is the second-biggest finally have imposed in relation to not
:03:25. > :03:31.treating domestic customers fairly. This should send out a message, ?80
:03:32. > :03:37.million is a large fine and it says we expect companies to treat their
:03:38. > :03:42.customers fairly at all times. ScottishPower had no one available
:03:43. > :03:51.to interview but in a statement it said...
:03:52. > :03:56.Later this year, ScottishPower will occupy this city centre
:03:57. > :03:59.headquarters, a grand building that underlines the important role of the
:04:00. > :04:04.company in the Scottish economy. But the penalty issued today is a
:04:05. > :04:09.reminder it cannot afford to get to grand for its customers and
:04:10. > :04:10.demonstrates the danger when company's computer systems need to
:04:11. > :04:15.be renewed and rebooted. In more disturbing evidence
:04:16. > :04:17.to the Liam Fee murder trial a young child said he felt "unsafe"
:04:18. > :04:20.with the two accused. The boy says Nyomi and Rachel Fee
:04:21. > :04:24.told him his dad was dead and that Nyomi and Rachel Fee deny murdering
:04:25. > :04:31.Liam and harming two other boys. Some viewers, particularly young
:04:32. > :04:36.children, may find some of the details in Lisa
:04:37. > :04:45.Summers report upsetting. Two-year-old Liam Fee was found dead
:04:46. > :04:51.at his home in March 20 14. For a second day, the jury has been
:04:52. > :04:57.watching video evidence from a child Rachel and Nyomi Fee are accused of
:04:58. > :05:03.mistreating. Liam said he believed his dad was dead because Rachel told
:05:04. > :05:10.him full. She said she had killed them because she doesn't like liars.
:05:11. > :05:17.The question -- social workers said she assured him that his father was
:05:18. > :05:20.alive. He said he broke down and didn't want to go back to the house.
:05:21. > :05:25.The child says on one occasion Naomi tried his hands behind his back with
:05:26. > :05:29.a dressing gown cord and forced him to sleep naked in a dark room all
:05:30. > :05:37.night. He was asked who was there. He said, just me and the rats. The
:05:38. > :05:39.rats were in and this makes, but they were in boxes. And the boa
:05:40. > :05:44.constructor is. Nyomi Fee told him they were in boxes. And the boa
:05:45. > :05:49.it eats little boys. They deny killing Liam and deny harming him
:05:50. > :05:56.and two other boys. The trial in Livingston, continues.
:05:57. > :05:58.In the Holyrood election campaign, the SNP leader, Nicola Sturgeon,
:05:59. > :06:01.says she has not ruled out cutting the number of local
:06:02. > :06:08.But rivals are not convinced structural reform is necessary.
:06:09. > :06:11.Here's our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell.
:06:12. > :06:19.Getting rid of your rubbish is not the only thing your council does. It
:06:20. > :06:26.is also in charge of local roads, school education and social care in
:06:27. > :06:30.partnership with the NHS. This city of Edinburgh Council is one of 32
:06:31. > :06:39.local authorities in Scotland and the SNP wants to review the role and
:06:40. > :06:42.review the responsibility of these councils and how they work together
:06:43. > :06:47.with the network of health boards that run NHS services. The party
:06:48. > :06:53.leaders made it here that would mean having fewer councils in future. I
:06:54. > :06:55.am not ruling anything out or in. We will review the situation in
:06:56. > :07:01.partnership with local government. The provision of public services and
:07:02. > :07:05.the governance is changing. In health and social care, we now have
:07:06. > :07:11.new partnership that bring health and local government together.
:07:12. > :07:13.Health and social care became an integrated service earlier this
:07:14. > :07:18.month, with cross-party backing. The Conservatives favour more joint
:07:19. > :07:24.working rather than trimming down the number of councils. The Scottish
:07:25. > :07:27.Conservatives don't leave in the wholesale review of services. We
:07:28. > :07:30.don't think there should be wholesale organisation because we
:07:31. > :07:34.should be doing the best job of service delivery. That means
:07:35. > :07:41.councils working closer together but not a wholesale, structural review.
:07:42. > :07:44.Scotland's eight Fire Services were merged into just one during the last
:07:45. > :07:50.Parliament and a single police force was created. The Liberal Democrats
:07:51. > :07:55.call its centralisation and don't want it extended to councils. We
:07:56. > :07:58.don't want me meddling around with the boundaries of councils, that is
:07:59. > :08:05.a distraction. We should be pushing into communities. The SNP took
:08:06. > :08:09.control of the police, they threatening to take control over the
:08:10. > :08:13.schools. It is not acceptable. Local government reform could cut the cash
:08:14. > :08:18.available for poorest areas. It is government reform could cut the cash
:08:19. > :08:21.20 years since local government was last overhauled, when regional
:08:22. > :08:25.councils like Strathclyde were abolished. Labour says its manifesto
:08:26. > :08:31.tomorrow will not propose another big shake-up. We have to be careful
:08:32. > :08:35.about any further SNP centralisation, that has been
:08:36. > :08:39.unpopular. I think we can get the government to work in a more joined
:08:40. > :08:47.up fashion, breaking down the silos and barriers between counsel
:08:48. > :08:51.apartments. The SNP says it wants more local decision-making, not
:08:52. > :08:53.less. Either way, it has managed to put who provides what service on the
:08:54. > :08:59.election agenda. And staying with the election
:09:00. > :09:01.campaign, every night this week, we'll be hearing from party leaders
:09:02. > :09:03.here in the studio. Tonight, it's the turn
:09:04. > :09:05.of Willie Rennie, who'll be setting out why you might
:09:06. > :09:08.want to cast your vote Before we hear from him,
:09:09. > :09:15.here's a bit of background. Willie Rennie says he wanted to have
:09:16. > :09:21.fun during this campaign. He certainly seems to be doing just
:09:22. > :09:26.that. By the power of the Lib Dems. I am healed. Doing better than the
:09:27. > :09:28.2011 election is the priority. He I am healed. Doing better than the
:09:29. > :09:38.became leader after his party was routed and was left with just five
:09:39. > :09:44.MSPs. The Liberal Democrats are back to our best and we can grow in the
:09:45. > :09:47.selection. The Lib Dems key manifesto commitments include half
:09:48. > :09:54.?1 billion more every year for education, funded by a 1p rise in
:09:55. > :09:56.income tax. An increase in the share of the budget spent on mental
:09:57. > :10:00.income tax. An increase in the share services. And the pledge, to not
:10:01. > :10:05.only protect civil liberties, but allow for greater public scrutiny
:10:06. > :10:10.for example, of police Scotland. The polls suggest the Lib Dems won't win
:10:11. > :10:14.the election, but Willie Rennie has got himself noticed. We like to
:10:15. > :10:18.organise our visits to send a message in pictorial terms of
:10:19. > :10:23.exactly what we are asking for. It does it very well, I don't know how,
:10:24. > :10:30.but it does it and somebody will work it out at some point.
:10:31. > :10:39.And Willie Rennie joins me now. The first and second Scottish
:10:40. > :10:44.Parliaments, you were in coalition. The last Parliament, five seats,
:10:45. > :10:50.1999 must seem like a long time ago? It does, but this election, we are
:10:51. > :10:54.having great fun and getting across a positive message about the future.
:10:55. > :11:00.The situation is urgent. We used to have the best education system in
:11:01. > :11:05.the world, it is just average now. People wait for a long time now for
:11:06. > :11:09.treatment on mental health services. We need to exceed our climate change
:11:10. > :11:14.targets. But we need to make sure we guarantee our Civil Liberties. Those
:11:15. > :11:19.are big, positive issues that Liberal Democrats are pioneering in
:11:20. > :11:23.this election campaign. We are finding more people are coming back
:11:24. > :11:28.because we are positive, uplifting, outward looking and we are going to
:11:29. > :11:34.grow in this election. What do you put the slump down to, this downward
:11:35. > :11:40.trajectory? Is it still a question of trust, tuition fees and coalition
:11:41. > :11:43.with the Tories. I do think we are growing this time, we have turned
:11:44. > :11:46.the corner. We are getting back to our best. The last few years
:11:47. > :11:51.the corner. We are getting back to been difficult, the coalition and so
:11:52. > :11:54.on. What we have had that debate, learned our lesson and we know it
:11:55. > :12:00.was difficult. I think we are stronger as a result. That is why we
:12:01. > :12:05.have got a positive agenda in this campaign. I have been all over the
:12:06. > :12:08.country in this campaign of areas of traditional strength, but also more
:12:09. > :12:14.challenging areas. Everywhere I go, people tell me they like what they
:12:15. > :12:17.have got to see and they like the way we are saying it and we are
:12:18. > :12:23.optimistic about the country's future. I take great heart from
:12:24. > :12:28.that. Do you think you have done enough, because in the last Scottish
:12:29. > :12:32.parliament, in 2011, you were pretty hammered and that was supposed to be
:12:33. > :12:38.the protest vote. At the general election last year, one seat! People
:12:39. > :12:43.have got long memories? I did think it is the end of the cycle. I also
:12:44. > :12:49.recognise in the last five years, and I do think people recognise
:12:50. > :12:52.this, the small team of Liberal Democrats in the Scottish Parliament
:12:53. > :12:55.have punched well above their weight. Who would have challenged
:12:56. > :13:00.the Scottish Government from the beginning about the centralisation
:13:01. > :13:06.of Lee Scotland? Who would have stood up on things like industrial
:13:07. > :13:13.stop and search. Guns on the police with police officers. Who would have
:13:14. > :13:17.challenged all those issues. And also nursing education. Those issues
:13:18. > :13:21.would not have been dealt with and it is only the Liberal Democrats who
:13:22. > :13:24.has guaranteed them. You look at the record, the positive offer for the
:13:25. > :13:29.future and that is why I am optimistic. And now, when it really
:13:30. > :13:37.matters, with that background, you will win and lashed in -- election
:13:38. > :13:41.by putting a penny on income tax? I have already mentioned it is an
:13:42. > :13:47.urgent situation. Scottish education used to be the best, and now it is
:13:48. > :13:51.just average, according to the OECD. If the situation is urgent it
:13:52. > :13:56.requires an urgent and an exceptional measure. Putting a penny
:13:57. > :14:04.on income tax to secure ?505 million worth of investment, for education,
:14:05. > :14:08.in a pupil premium to help kids struggling at school to get on but
:14:09. > :14:11.also in colleges to repair the damage is to cuts to colleges in
:14:12. > :14:16.recent years. That package, people will know what they are getting for
:14:17. > :14:22.their money, it is a modest increase and it make sure it is progressive.
:14:23. > :14:26.He would have to earn over ?21,500 to pay any more under these combine
:14:27. > :14:32.measures with the tax thresholds at Westminster. It is fair, it is
:14:33. > :14:35.positive and it is going directly towards investing in education so we
:14:36. > :14:42.can have the best education system in the world again. The problems in
:14:43. > :14:47.education, they haven't happened overnight and you were in Coalition
:14:48. > :14:51.Government for eight years since 1999. Presumably you were investing
:14:52. > :14:57.then? Did it all go wrong when you stop? The OECD, the international
:14:58. > :15:04.body, highlight that ten years ago just won the SNP came to power, that
:15:05. > :15:07.we were at the top in terms of mathematics, but now we are just
:15:08. > :15:13.average. It has happened in a relatively short period of time. I
:15:14. > :15:18.might suggest the destruction of the referendum might have taken the
:15:19. > :15:20.focus off, needing to improve education in Scotland, but
:15:21. > :15:25.certainly, investment in education is part of the solution. As Liberal
:15:26. > :15:26.certainly, investment in education Democrats we believe in giving
:15:27. > :15:32.everybody the opportunity to succeed, nobody should he held back
:15:33. > :15:37.by circumstances of their birth or their background.
:15:38. > :15:43.Let me go back to those eight years when you were in power. Presumably,
:15:44. > :15:48.you did shovel money into the education system, and that money
:15:49. > :15:53.should have been transformational. ?500 million sounds a lot, but for a
:15:54. > :15:57.country's education system, it's not a vast amount, though you hope it
:15:58. > :16:03.will be transformational. We did invest, in the teaching community to
:16:04. > :16:08.make sure we had good, qualified teachers who were properly paid in
:16:09. > :16:11.the classroom. We invested in new buildings, invested in the
:16:12. > :16:16.infrastructure of our education system to make sure we had a
:16:17. > :16:19.reformed system for the future. We started at work, and it is a shame
:16:20. > :16:24.that it has taken a slide in recent years. Part of it is because the SNP
:16:25. > :16:28.haven't been focused, but there is a need to make sure we keep up with
:16:29. > :16:32.the best countries in the world, who are very competitive now. The answer
:16:33. > :16:38.to that is education investment. During that time, would you not
:16:39. > :16:42.dealing with PFI schooling? Has that not come home to roost? Of course,
:16:43. > :16:46.dealing with PFI schooling? Has that there have been issues around PFI,
:16:47. > :16:51.and we need to have a thorough investigation into what went wrong
:16:52. > :16:55.with this specific contract. I think the issue of finance is not related.
:16:56. > :17:01.I think it is very much related. We will wait and see. What is important
:17:02. > :17:05.as, at that time, the Liberal Democrats with our coalition
:17:06. > :17:10.colleagues invested in education to get it improve. In recent years, it
:17:11. > :17:13.has slipped down. It is a great disappointment, and we are
:17:14. > :17:19.determined to change it. Your manifesto has many proposals on
:17:20. > :17:24.education, health care, civil Liberties, climate change - these
:17:25. > :17:29.things have to be paid for. Where are your big, headline ideas to make
:17:30. > :17:35.money? The state can't do it all itself, we have to provide money.
:17:36. > :17:40.We're facing problems at the moment. Unemployment rose by 20,000 in the
:17:41. > :17:42.last quarter, there is a manufacturing slump - what are your
:17:43. > :17:46.headline ideas? Queries the dynamism? Jackie, the real answer is
:17:47. > :17:54.to invest in our people. They are a dynamism? Jackie, the real answer is
:17:55. > :17:57.biggest asset -- where is the dynamism? They can contribute
:17:58. > :18:02.towards business in this country to make businesses grow and pay tax. It
:18:03. > :18:07.is that virtuous circle. That's what we need to do. That is why we are so
:18:08. > :18:10.passionate and determined to invest in education in the future. No one
:18:11. > :18:14.would disagree, but we're talking about our five-year plan for
:18:15. > :18:18.education. The problems we're facing now, we need something in the here
:18:19. > :18:23.and now. What are the Liberal Democrats going to do? Part of that
:18:24. > :18:26.is immediate. We need immediate answers in terms of training young
:18:27. > :18:32.people in college as, for instance. For what jobs? People come here
:18:33. > :18:37.because of the skills of our workforce, it is why we have some of
:18:38. > :18:41.the best universities and renewable industries in the world. That is why
:18:42. > :18:44.we have some of the great businesses across the country that I have been
:18:45. > :18:49.visiting in the last few weeks. They come here because of our people.
:18:50. > :18:53.They are our biggest asset and that is why I want to invest in them.
:18:54. > :18:57.During the campaign, Ruth Davidson of the Conservatives has said she's
:18:58. > :19:02.not going to win but she is going to be the opposition. She is going to
:19:03. > :19:07.hold the SNP, if the polls are to be believed, to account. What will your
:19:08. > :19:12.role be? The Lib Dems will play a constructive role in the parliament.
:19:13. > :19:15.We will oppose where we disagree, like on police centralisation. And
:19:16. > :19:20.we will look agreement where we can. We want to deliver a big boost for
:19:21. > :19:24.mental health services. Far too many people are waiting too long for
:19:25. > :19:28.urgent treatment on mental health on the environment, we want to make
:19:29. > :19:34.sure we will work with others to exceed our climate change targets by
:19:35. > :19:40.investor meeting in warm homes, we want to put into fracking and
:19:41. > :19:46.opencast coal. All of this is -- all of those issues will come to the
:19:47. > :19:52.fore. But you want form any coalitions -- you won't form any
:19:53. > :19:57.coalitions? We have seen in the Parliament, where we had coalition,
:19:58. > :20:02.minority and majority Government, there are a variety of ways. I want
:20:03. > :20:04.to exert our influence using the power of more MSPs behind me to get
:20:05. > :20:09.all those things delivered in the Scottish Parliament. I think people
:20:10. > :20:12.deserve a better mental health service in this country. I think
:20:13. > :20:18.people deserve that this country should exceed its climate change
:20:19. > :20:24.targets, guarantee Civil Liberties. We shouldn't have this ID database
:20:25. > :20:28.that the SNP want. I will hunt for anyone who is prepared to work with
:20:29. > :20:32.me on those things. The polls suggest that you are battling with
:20:33. > :20:37.the Greens for fourth place. If you fail and you end up fifth, will you
:20:38. > :20:42.consider your own position as leader? Jackie, I am having the time
:20:43. > :20:46.of my life. It looks like it! Apart from having great fun going round
:20:47. > :20:50.and enjoying things, I am having the time of my life because we are able
:20:51. > :20:58.to campaign on the things we feel strongly about. I'm optimistic that
:20:59. > :21:12.we have done in the last five years. Would you concede that there is
:21:13. > :21:16.voter apathy? No. Across the country, people are coming up to me
:21:17. > :21:20.and saying, it is so refreshing, so upbeat, and it's great that they
:21:21. > :21:24.have a liberal force in Scottish politics that wants to grow and be

:47:10. > :47:19.had to put on layers of protective clothing. Easier said than done! To
:47:20. > :47:27.stop us bringing dust and dirt into the lab. Inside, under special
:47:28. > :47:33.lighting, engineers are hard at work on systems designed to boost the
:47:34. > :47:36.strength of mobile phone signals. What is being made in this

:47:43. > :47:48.will be chopped up and turned into tiny silicone chips like these,
:47:49. > :47:55.which will be embedded in mobile phones. Making this work takes time,

:48:03. > :48:06.there is potential for huge sales. One of the company's founders told

:48:32. > :48:34.this to be in the past. New firms really matter, because Scotland's
:48:35. > :48:39.traditional employers face a challenge like never before. Falling
:48:40. > :48:45.oil prices have forced the offshore industry to shed thousands of jobs.
:48:46. > :48:49.But other types of business are hungry for growth. Scotland is a
:48:50. > :48:57.land of food and drink, exporting seafood to more than 100 countries,
:48:58. > :49:01.so how do we boost those exports? We have to think about how we can help

:49:08. > :49:13.Our biggest competitors are outside of Scotland, not inside, so I would

:51:16. > :51:23.struggle in point for people with a learning disability. In order to --
:51:24. > :51:27.according to Enable Scotland, people with learning disabilities face

:52:03. > :52:08.give people with learning disabilities who go to a polling
:52:09. > :52:13.station to vote? Our staff are trained to help all types of voters,
:52:14. > :52:17.those with learning disabilities and those without. We have produced a
:52:18. > :52:21.guide to give assistance on how to register on how to vote. You can ask
:52:22. > :52:27.for as much or as little assistance as you want in the polling station
:52:28. > :52:30.on the day. I suspect that what works for Peter could work for the
:52:31. > :52:31.public at large when it comes to accessible communication from our
:52:32. > :52:44.politicians. We heard earlier the economy was a
:52:45. > :52:48.big battle ground in this election. This is another one, energy. Not
:52:49. > :52:52.just how we heat our homes and how we pay bit, but how to make it
:52:53. > :53:00.sustainable. We have examined had to examine the huge changes underway
:53:01. > :53:06.and the challenges they bring. This power line's pylons March from
:53:07. > :53:09.the Highlands to the lowlands, carrying power generated by the wind
:53:10. > :53:14.in the North to consumers in the South. The line is controversial,
:53:15. > :53:21.but is also a symbol of Scotland's energy revolution. It is a
:53:22. > :53:23.revolution which has brought the days of Scotland's coal-fired power
:53:24. > :53:38.stations to an end. Things move on, days of Scotland's coal-fired power
:53:39. > :53:42.we have to move on. That is it. The ultimate goal, cutting carbon
:53:43. > :53:48.emissions and meeting Scotland's climate change targets. The Paris
:53:49. > :53:54.agreement is adopted. This woman is a global leader in the fight against
:53:55. > :53:57.global warming. Despite the Scottish Government's repeated failures to
:53:58. > :54:03.hit its own targets, she argues Scotland is a leader, largely
:54:04. > :54:10.because of the switch to renewables. Once we have a target and we focus
:54:11. > :54:17.and ring together private sector ingenuity, financing and policy, we
:54:18. > :54:20.can actually meet and exceed targets. Forgive me, the interim
:54:21. > :54:26.targets are being missed, how much of a concern is that? What you have
:54:27. > :54:33.to look at is what is the direction of travel? The direction of travel
:54:34. > :54:37.is fundamentally very sound. There is a huge political commitment to
:54:38. > :54:42.continue this. I am not concerned about the little ebbs and flows. It
:54:43. > :54:53.is what is the direction. But analysts warn cuts in subsidies made
:54:54. > :54:55.at Westminster have cast a shadow over the sector. There has been a
:54:56. > :54:59.chilling effect on a number of projects we are working on. Some of
:55:00. > :55:03.them have been cancelled or won't go ahead in the current form. We are
:55:04. > :55:07.now more dependent on wind energy more than ever before. Coal burning
:55:08. > :55:11.now more dependent on wind energy has gone, gas is on the back burner
:55:12. > :55:16.and the Scottish Government is opposed to new nuclear. We cannot be
:55:17. > :55:22.certain if these turbines for turn when we need them most. In
:55:23. > :55:27.certain if these turbines for turn and March, there were days when
:55:28. > :55:32.there was no renewable input of any size to our electricity generation.
:55:33. > :55:37.We were relying on importing electricity, probably nuclear, from
:55:38. > :55:43.France. There are other challenges, Scotland's cold climates means much
:55:44. > :55:49.of the energy we consume is used to heat our homes. We have to turn our
:55:50. > :55:53.focus to the heating sector which is more than 50% of our energy needs.
:55:54. > :55:55.We have to look at how we heat our homes and the leadership from the
:55:56. > :56:00.Nick Scottish Government. Introducing a warm homes act, that
:56:01. > :56:06.will attract investment to Scotland, tackle emissions and tackle fuel
:56:07. > :56:10.poverty in Scotland. For the power in Scotland, it matters to all
:56:11. > :56:18.others. Expect this debate to continue crackling with energy at
:56:19. > :56:25.Holyrood and beyond. Just before we go, time to remind you of another
:56:26. > :56:29.election debate on Scotland 2016. Tonight, in Glasgow, an audience of
:56:30. > :56:32.voters will get the chance to question a panel of politicians
:56:33. > :56:38.about their plans on an issue that matters to us all. Housing. Join us
:56:39. > :56:45.later on BBC Two Scotland at 10:30 p.m.. Back to Brian for a final word
:56:46. > :56:51.from Glasgow Pollok. D-Day approaches, but there is still a
:56:52. > :56:56.manifesto to come? Yes, one little gap in the manifesto lists, that is
:56:57. > :57:00.the Labour manifesto. It is due to be published and launched tomorrow.
:57:01. > :57:05.Labour seems to want to have the last word. We don't expect any
:57:06. > :57:09.surprises. One said to me, don't expect subtlety, it will be pushing
:57:10. > :57:14.up the message of investing in the future. The argument from Labour
:57:15. > :57:18.being, you require taxation increases, 1% across-the-board,
:57:19. > :57:24.increased at the very top rate to 50%. You require that to produce
:57:25. > :57:27.investment in public servers. It has been the core debate through the
:57:28. > :57:33.whole of the selection. It will be the core debate tomorrow, with the
:57:34. > :57:36.Labour manifesto and for the final week. Thank you very much. A
:57:37. > :57:40.reminder of the end headline: week. Thank you very much. A
:57:41. > :57:47.people were unlawfully killed in the Hillsborough disaster, an inquest
:57:48. > :57:51.jury has ruled. The worst sporting tragedy in UK history took place in
