:01:20. > :01:23.in, in tax. In percentage terms it means
:01:24. > :01:25.the deficit here has climbed to more than twice the level of the UK
:01:26. > :01:28.as a whole. Much of the increase is as a result
:01:29. > :01:30.of falling oil revenues, but the figures are key

:01:50. > :01:55.Douglas Fraser with the numbers. These numbers help us understand how
:01:56. > :01:58.much Scots pay in tax and how much So, in the year to April, Scots paid
:01:59. > :02:03.nearly ?54 billion in tax. Almost quarter of that
:02:04. > :02:05.was income tax. Nearly ?69 billion was spent
:02:06. > :02:13.on Scotland by national So the difference last year -
:02:14. > :02:20.nearly ?15 billion. More than a third of that spending
:02:21. > :02:25.was on pensions and benefits, Now, it's OK for government to run

:02:38. > :02:49.10% of total economic output - more than twice the scale
:02:50. > :02:54.of the UK overspend. In Scotland, government spending
:02:55. > :03:01.was ?12,800 per head, while across the UK,

:03:36. > :03:38.a deep worsening with the financial crash, and while austerity has
:03:39. > :03:41.driven the UK deficit towards 4%, the Scottish overspend
:03:42. > :03:50.has been getting worse. but of course these figures have

:03:57. > :04:08.Brian Taylor, what's been The reaction has been intriguing. It
:04:09. > :04:13.depends on your stance. This is about sums, but it has been
:04:14. > :04:19.political from the outset from the early days when it was deployed by a

:04:45. > :04:50.message of these figures is, the low oil price and tax cuts to support
:04:51. > :04:56.the industry has had an impact. But the fundamentals of the Scottish
:04:57. > :05:00.economy are sound and strong. It has grown by more than the fall in oil
:05:01. > :05:04.revenues. Let's make sure we have the best environment to continue to
:05:05. > :05:08.grow our economy and that is why I am worried about Brexit, because it
:05:09. > :05:13.will make the task so much more difficult. But onshore growth was
:05:14. > :05:20.almost wiped out by a sharp fall in the North Sea tax take. Dry

:05:48. > :05:52.as teachers through this initiative in Aberdeen. Everyone wants growth
:05:53. > :05:57.onshore and off, but the Scottish Secretary said it was time to forget
:05:58. > :06:01.independence. We have got the very challenging prospect in negotiating
:06:02. > :06:07.Brexit. We need to get the best possible deal for Scotland and the
:06:08. > :06:11.rest of the United Kingdom. But what these figures confirm, is the really
:06:12. > :06:15.important union for everybody in Scotland is the union with the rest
:06:16. > :06:21.of the United Kingdom, rather than being part of the European Union. No
:06:22. > :06:23.one is giving up on the North Sea, but with Scotland still in the red,
:06:24. > :06:32.the aim is to diversify and grow. How will these figures be wielded in
:06:33. > :06:36.the debates about independence and about independence in Europe,
:06:37. > :06:41.potentially? It is about both and its substantial element in those
:06:42. > :06:48.two. European Union rules says a member state should keep its deficit
:06:49. > :06:53.below 3% of face possible sanctions. Scotland's deficit is 10%. Nicola
:06:54. > :06:57.Sturgeon shrugs that. She said these figures are not the starting point
:06:58. > :07:01.for independence, not the point to which Scotland would move towards.
:07:02. > :07:05.There would be different calculations, the allocation of debt
:07:06. > :07:10.with the UK Government. This was not how Scotland would look under
:07:11. > :07:14.independence. European Union members, European Union officials
:07:15. > :07:17.can see like everyone else, that Scotland's economy was fundamentally
:07:18. > :07:25.strong. And she said she wasn't seeking to apply a renewed European
:07:26. > :07:30.Union membership, she was trying to hold onto the existing membership.
:07:31. > :07:37.All of which is a case she is making very strongly. Just to add or borrow
:07:38. > :07:38.the word she used, economically the future for Scotland looks
:07:39. > :07:42.challenging. An investigation by BBC Scotland has
:07:43. > :07:45.revealed that some of the most vulnerable people in Scotland
:07:46. > :07:47.are being exploited by rogue landlords in the midst
:07:48. > :07:50.of the First Minister's constituency And that some landlords
:07:51. > :07:52.are continuing to work in the Govanhill area of Glasgow
:07:53. > :07:55.despite being officially struck off. Our political correspondent
:07:56. > :08:04.Lucy Adams has the first in a series Here in the heart of Nicola
:08:05. > :08:09.Sturgeon's constituency, communities and cultures come together to create
:08:10. > :08:12.a neighbourhood unlike any other. Decades of immigration from Ireland,
:08:13. > :08:18.south Asia and Eastern Europe have shaped Govanhill. Its problems can
:08:19. > :08:24.be found in other Scottish cities, so what, if anything, makes this
:08:25. > :08:30.place different? It has always been an area that attracted migrants, new
:08:31. > :08:34.Glaswegians. It has always been a welcoming area. It has always been a
:08:35. > :08:39.reasonably priced area to buy property in, if you were a
:08:40. > :08:45.first-time buyer. Over the years, it has changed more into private rented
:08:46. > :08:49.and I think that is where people, some of the landlords, not all, but
:08:50. > :08:54.a lot of them are not willing to invest in the structure of the
:08:55. > :08:59.property. Overcrowding and neglect have taken their toll, leading the
:09:00. > :09:03.council and Scottish Government to launch a unique ?10 million project
:09:04. > :09:08.to buy out properties from the worst landlords and take them into public
:09:09. > :09:14.ownership. As you can see, this flat has been affected with rot, and we
:09:15. > :09:19.are finding a number of properties like this. Govanhill Housing
:09:20. > :09:31.Association is using the money to transform tenements. This
:09:32. > :09:35.corner is at the heart of that project, aimed at tackling
:09:36. > :09:38.regeneration and landlords. But the BBC has learned that almost half of
:09:39. > :09:40.the properties bought were from those who already owned the flat
:09:41. > :09:43.they lived in, the very people the project hoped to keep. The question
:09:44. > :09:47.is, whether this project in its current format is really working. It
:09:48. > :09:51.wasn't the plan. The Housing act was flawed because it didn't include
:09:52. > :09:57.compulsory purchase orders. The idea was to attack the rogue landlords,
:09:58. > :10:05.bringing down the area. Without the compulsory purchase orders, and to
:10:06. > :10:11.achieve the targets, they are turning to people who want to sell
:10:12. > :10:15.just to move out. Was the aim to buy up so many owner occupied
:10:16. > :10:20.properties? I don't think it necessarily was. But if it is within
:10:21. > :10:28.the target area and it adds to what we are trying to do, we will support
:10:29. > :10:34.but going forward. There are eight properties close, you need to have
:10:35. > :10:40.five. It enables you to manage the block. As the housing project
:10:41. > :10:45.continues in Govanhill, the BBC has learned a number of rogue landlords
:10:46. > :10:50.are continuing to practice, despite being deregistered. And a number of
:10:51. > :10:58.cases are not being pursued because witnesses are too afraid to speak
:10:59. > :11:02.up. So, who are these landlords? This man was deregistered as a
:11:03. > :11:07.landlord in May after taking ?7,000 worth of deposits from tenants. His
:11:08. > :11:12.letting agency was dissolved earlier this year, but the BBC has learned
:11:13. > :11:17.the business in Govanhill has stayed open. He has now been reported to
:11:18. > :11:23.prosecutors for alleged fraud, theft and acting as a landlord while
:11:24. > :11:29.unregistered. This man paid almost ?1400 up front to him for a flat he
:11:30. > :11:33.never set foot inside. The student from Bulgaria, one court case
:11:34. > :11:39.against him, but still hasn't got his money back. We felt quite
:11:40. > :11:43.helpless. You are just a simple pawn and you cannot do anything about it.
:11:44. > :11:49.It just felt unfair to me that someone could do this and get away
:11:50. > :11:54.with it for so long. He told the BBC he denies the charges and is
:11:55. > :11:58.appealing his deregistration. Hundreds of families each year have
:11:59. > :12:03.suffered from scams by a range of landlords and from housing beneath a
:12:04. > :12:07.tolerable standard. The worst ones are the ones where children are
:12:08. > :12:12.involved. New babies not having hot water, you just can't have that. You
:12:13. > :12:15.hear the stories about children with bedbugs and these landlords just
:12:16. > :12:21.raking it in and making this money on the back of exploiting someone.
:12:22. > :12:26.It is incredulous, there are these organisations working against it and
:12:27. > :12:30.so slow to bring it to justice. Much is being done in this extraordinary
:12:31. > :12:33.neighbourhood to kick-start regeneration, but for now, children
:12:34. > :12:35.continue to live in substandard housing, while so-called rogue
:12:36. > :12:42.landlords reap the profits. Tributes have been paid

:13:36. > :13:39.family. It is tragic for his family, friends and colleagues at Fort
:13:40. > :13:42.George, who are brave men and women in the Armed Forces who put their
:13:43. > :13:47.lives at risk every day. Sometimes when they are on combat missions you
:13:48. > :13:49.can be prepared for the difficult phone call or difficult
:13:50. > :13:53.announcement. But when it is a training exercise it is even worse
:13:54. > :13:59.for the people with him at the time and his family who have now lost a

:14:22. > :14:26.tourists continue to visit this old fortification. Within these walls
:14:27. > :14:30.where The Black Watch battalion is based, there will be sadness and
:14:31. > :14:35.shock over the tragic death of a fellow soldier. These guys come in,
:14:36. > :14:42.they are not far away from the village. It is devastating news. The
:14:43. > :14:48.Army have a lot of questions to answer, why was this allowed to
:14:49. > :14:52.happen on a training exercise. A major investigation is continuing to
:14:53. > :14:56.establish exactly what did happen on Monday night, but at this stage,

:22:20. > :22:26.teeth. It was an amazing effort by the plays on the back of everything
:22:27. > :22:31.we have been through before. Huge applause to them and I am delighted
:22:32. > :22:35.we got the reward. Reaching the Champions League has financial
:22:36. > :22:40.rewards as well, qualifying worth an estimated ?30 million. The manager
:22:41. > :22:44.might want some of that upfront and quick to improve the squad. He is
:22:45. > :22:49.still assessing players at the moment, he needs to get more in.
:22:50. > :22:54.Going into the Champions League you do not want to embarrass yourself,
:22:55. > :22:58.you need a strong squad. Tomorrow the draw will reveal which three
:22:59. > :23:03.clubs will be arriving along Celtic way. One of these European giants
:23:04. > :23:08.could be among them. Barcelona, Bayern Munich and the defending
:23:09. > :23:13.champions real Madrid. A lot of the fans would like to see Real Madrid
:23:14. > :23:18.here because they have Barcelona and Manchester United, top-class teams
:23:19. > :23:21.in the past years. Madrid is yet to visit here and the stars they have
:23:22. > :23:28.got, it would be a special night if they were to come. It will be 50
:23:29. > :23:35.years since Billy McNeill the Celtic captain lifted the European cup in
:23:36. > :23:36.May. Nobody is suggesting they will win it this season, but that will
:23:37. > :23:37.not stop supporters from dreaming. It has been five years
:23:38. > :23:45.in the making and has cost more than ?30 million, but
:23:46. > :23:47.Scotland's new Sports Performance centre is about
:23:48. > :23:49.to open for business. The concept of a centre for sporting
:23:50. > :23:51.excellence followed a report by former first minister
:23:52. > :24:05.Henry McLeish criticising Set in the grounds of Heriot Watt
:24:06. > :24:08.University, it is on the outskirts of Edinburgh. 90% of the cost has
:24:09. > :24:13.come through public funding with the balance of ?4 million coming from
:24:14. > :24:23.the university, but is it money well spell? -- well spent. In comparison
:24:24. > :24:32.to other places in the country, it is up there with them. The Scottish
:24:33. > :24:38.will use this facility for all their national games, but it is not just
:24:39. > :24:43.about football. Rugby, netball, basketball, squash and racquetball
:24:44. > :24:46.will all use this facility, and in particular the high-performance
:24:47. > :24:52.ring. Each individual athlete will get their own space. If you are in
:24:53. > :24:56.the gym with the public, it would be difficult to get the equipment and
:24:57. > :25:02.move around and it will help us become more professional. We want to
:25:03. > :25:07.become professional athletes. It is not all about elite sports men and
:25:08. > :25:11.women with specialist equipment open for the general public. And the Hibs
:25:12. > :25:17.women with specialist equipment open against Hearts football match under
:25:18. > :25:20.20 game has taken place on the impressive pitch with fans in
:25:21. > :25:24.attendance giving the venue the thumbs up. It is absolutely
:25:25. > :25:31.brilliant, the pitch is massive, I am impressed. The sports science and
:25:32. > :25:37.sports medicine and conditioning they get, they can get prepared.
:25:38. > :25:40.There is an expectancy of improved results on the field of play. We are
:25:41. > :25:45.doing well in the six Nations, in results on the field of play. We are
:25:46. > :25:50.the World Cup in rugby and we want to qualify across all age groups.
:25:51. > :25:55.All age groups will be here and we want to see the local community get
:25:56. > :26:00.more involved in sports. It officially opens its doors on Monday
:26:01. > :26:02.with an improvement in our national sporting squad is expected to
:26:03. > :26:17.Now, let's get the weather. It was a lovely day across the vast majority
:26:18. > :26:22.of the country. There was some stubborn cloud in the North East and
:26:23. > :26:27.in the Western Isles and Northern Isles, but foremost we had guys like
:26:28. > :26:33.that. To end the day, lovely spells of late sunshine. The cloud will
:26:34. > :26:37.build in Central and eastern parts of the country, but it is mild
:26:38. > :26:41.overnight with temperatures holding in double digits. Tomorrow
:26:42. > :26:47.low-pressure nearby and a weather front in England produces heavy
:26:48. > :26:52.outbreaks of rain, but we are in between and we should escape. It is
:26:53. > :26:56.cloudy tomorrow compared to today, the best of the sunshine in the
:26:57. > :27:01.West. The rain in the North of England perhaps coming into the
:27:02. > :27:07.Borders. A few light showers in the Western Isles, but that wet weather
:27:08. > :27:12.should stay away. Another dry day, the lion's share of the sunshine in
:27:13. > :27:18.the West. Cooler where we have the cloud, but in the sunshine 20 or 21.
:27:19. > :27:25.Across the Western Isles a chance of a few light showers. As we head
:27:26. > :27:27.through the afternoon and into the evening the rain clears away,
:27:28. > :27:33.perhaps brushing through the Borders. Low-pressure as we head
:27:34. > :27:35.through towards Friday producing a few showers for the Highlands and
:27:36. > :27:40.through towards Friday producing a Islands, but for most of the country
:27:41. > :27:44.it is another dry and fine day. The highest temperatures in eastern
:27:45. > :27:52.parts. In the West the cloud will break. On the face of it Saturday
:27:53. > :27:55.looks fine and dry with sunshine, but take a look to the south of the
:27:56. > :28:05.border and what is lurking and you will see a rather large area of
:28:06. > :28:11.rain. It is likely to come our way. If you have planned this weekend,
:28:12. > :28:14.stay tuned to the forecast. Is it from us, goodbye.
