now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.

The family of the Scottish victim of a helicopter crash in Norway has

said they are devastated by his death.

:00:11.:00:12.

Iain Stuart from Laurencekirk in Aberdeenshire was one of 13

:00:13.:00:15.

people on board the Super Puma when it crashed on the

Iain Stuart, 41, leaves behind a wife in two children. In a

statement, they said... These pictures show the rotor blades

:00:32.:00:49.

of the Super Puma clearly separated from the aircraft, which had crashed

:00:50.:00:52.

moments earlier on the rocky coastline. Iain Stuart was one of 13

:00:53.:00:59.

passengers on board. 11 bodies have been recovered, two others are

:01:00.:01:02.

presumed dead. It has emerged the helicopter

involved had returned to base three days earlier because of a warning

light. In a statement, the operator said...

:01:10.:01:24.

Commercial flights in the UK by this type of helicopter have since been

:01:25.:01:32.

granted by the civilian aviation authority, but an online petition is

:01:33.:01:36.

calling on them to go further and remove this type of Super Puma from

servers permanently. It has gathered thousands of signatures, some from

:01:43.:01:44.

relatives of those killed in other incidents.

:01:45.:01:48.

The investigation into the cause of the crash continues.

:01:49.:01:50.

Leaders of Scotland's political parties will meet

:01:51.:01:51.

in the final TV debate before the Holyrood election tonight.

:01:52.:01:56.

The leaders of the SNP, Labour, the Conservatives,

:01:57.:01:57.

the Liberal Democrats and the Greens will all make their final

:01:58.:02:00.

pitch to the electorate at the event at Hopetoun House.

:02:01.:02:03.

The last TV debates were held over a month ago.

:02:04.:02:05.

Our political editor Brian Taylor is there and joins me now.

:02:06.:02:11.

Brian? Thanks very much. The setting here

:02:12.:02:20.

may be redolent of history, redolent of the past, that this will become,

:02:21.:02:26.

in just over an hour, the setting for a very modern, contemporary

:02:27.:02:29.

political battle. It is the last chance for the five leaders of the

:02:30.:02:34.

parliamentary parties in Scotland to confront each other. Of course, they

:02:35.:02:37.

will campaign right until the very close pole on Thursday, the less

:02:38.:02:42.

will be the last opportunity to confront each other over

:02:43.:02:46.

independents, and issue dear to the cause of the SNP. To confront each

:02:47.:02:51.

other over public services like education and health, above all,

:02:52.:02:55.

perhaps, to confront each other over the question of tax related to

:02:56.:02:59.

public spending. That is still emerging as the dominant factor in

:03:00.:03:04.

these elections. For the very first time, the Scottish Parliament has

:03:05.:03:06.

full control of income tax, rates and bands in Scotland, meaning these

:03:07.:03:11.

elections matter more than ever before. All the parties will be

:03:12.:03:15.

trying to gain the votes of the electorate. One little tiny thing,

:03:16.:03:22.

the family name associated with this ancestral home is Hope. I think that

:03:23.:03:24.

could be fitting. You can see that ancestral home is Hope. I think that

Sturgeon says she wants to work with teachers to provide the best

education for young people. Drivers on the M8 in Glasgow faced

:03:47.:03:48.

major delays this afternoon following a crash which left

:03:49.:03:51.

two people injured. At around 12:40pm, two vehicles

:03:52.:03:54.

collided on the westbound carriageway at junction 16,

period. Some heavy bursts for Argyll towards Lochaber, and in towards the

:04:54.:04:57.

Highlands. But for the East, the likes of Edinburgh and the far

strengthening southerly winds, but the temperatures are mild
