:02:32. > :02:35.wrong, they were asked. We have gone backwards on your watch in Scotland,
:02:36. > :02:40.from second to third. You were meant to be winning back Scotland on the
:02:41. > :02:42.basis that we would be more radical. There is a big fight ahead and a
:02:43. > :02:47.long road back. The SNP are actually There is a big fight ahead and a
:02:48. > :02:51.doing an austerity programme while pretending they are not. Think Kezia
:02:52. > :02:57.Dugdale is doing a Rhun job, a fantastic role model. I think she is
:02:58. > :03:03.doing a fantastic job and is a great role model for Labour across this

:03:07. > :03:10.been angry response to Mr Sinclair's comments from some people supporting
:03:11. > :03:15.Jeremy Corbyn. Alex Rowley says the idea that he would stand is rubbish.
:03:16. > :03:20.A leadership challenge, he says, is not on the cards. Neal Findlay is
:03:21. > :03:24.one of Mr Corbyn's closest allies in Scotland, seen welcoming him
:03:25. > :03:29.yesterday. He stood in the last Scottish leadership election against
:03:30. > :03:36.Kezia Dugdale. We asked if he would consider standing again. Absolutely
:03:37. > :03:41.no way, 1000, 1,000,000%. Kezia Dugdale has a large mandate to lead
:03:42. > :03:46.the Scottish Labour Party. This former Labour MP thinks it is time
:03:47. > :03:51.to get behind the Scottish leader. I thought it was appalling and I don't
:03:52. > :03:53.envisage a challenge to her. Kezia Dugdale has been elected by the
:03:54. > :03:58.Scottish party members and is working hard to make sure that
:03:59. > :04:03.Labour regains its electoral position in Scotland. Can this man
:04:04. > :04:06.or his rival help with that, or might they get in the way?

:04:28. > :04:34.They are popularly known as legal highs, but since the law changed
:04:35. > :04:38.three months ago that name is no longer appropriate. New psychoactive
:04:39. > :04:43.substances can no longer be sold legally and importing them is also
:04:44. > :04:48.against the law. Police Scotland say the new law has had a significant
:04:49. > :04:52.effect. Before it, there were 90 retailers selling the drugs across
:04:53. > :04:56.Scotland and now there are none, with premises closed, or selling
:04:57. > :05:00.other products. Police say there have been no arrests for offences
:05:01. > :05:04.under the act but they admit that they know it is still going on.
:05:05. > :05:10.There is a small minority of premises that are a persistent and
:05:11. > :05:16.resistant element continuing to sell them. That falls within the realms
:05:17. > :05:18.of the legislation, so the police and our partners will robustly
:05:19. > :05:24.target those individuals and we would in courage them to cease
:05:25. > :05:27.selling. The problem in the past was that legal highs could be easily
:05:28. > :05:33.chemically altered to help overcome any legal ban. The new legislation
:05:34. > :05:39.has been designed to overcome that. But in Ireland, where there is a
:05:40. > :05:43.similar law, consumption of new psychoactive substances has actually
:05:44. > :05:47.risen since it was introduced. That is concerning this drugs awareness
:05:48. > :05:52.charity in Edinburgh, which fears that driving the sale of the streets
:05:53. > :05:56.might actually cause difficulties for users. When these were on open
:05:57. > :06:00.sale was shocking to people but the fact that they were on open sale was
:06:01. > :06:06.perhaps suggesting incorrectly that they might be safe because they were
:06:07. > :06:09.being tolerated. Now that they are banned, I suppose the worry is that
:06:10. > :06:14.there is even less accountability. If these are sold online, or through
:06:15. > :06:17.traditional drug dealing networks, we feel the price will go up and
:06:18. > :06:21.there is more risk of harm to people. The charity and police are
:06:22. > :06:27.warning users that buying the drugs online from overseas rings a risk of
:06:28. > :06:31.prosecution as it could be classed as importing them, which is
:06:32. > :06:35.prohibited under the new law. -- it brings a risk of prosecution.

:07:04. > :07:08.September. At nine of them, drivers were told they could not drive past
:07:09. > :07:14.in peak hours. The result, confusion and frayed tempers. Nearly one year
:07:15. > :07:19.on, Edinburgh City Council says the scheme delivered real benefits, not
:07:20. > :07:24.least for children, many of whom now walk to and from school. It means
:07:25. > :07:26.signs like this are set to become a permanent feature across some
:07:27. > :07:31.schools. But are all the drivers obeying the rules? This is another
:07:32. > :07:35.school that asked to take part in the pilot. When school finished at
:07:36. > :07:41.lunchtime today, some drivers were clearly ignoring the signs. I got a
:07:42. > :07:47.phone call to pick up my friend's child, because she is stuck in
:07:48. > :07:53.traffic, she is late. And I did the same, which is wrong. Parents say it
:07:54. > :07:58.is not unusual. Every day, and it will never change. The police have
:07:59. > :08:04.been at the top of the road and they still tried to pull in. It is a
:08:05. > :08:07.nightmare. A report on the pilot scheme goes before the Transport
:08:08. > :08:12.Committee on Tuesday with a recommendation that it becomes
:08:13. > :08:14.permanent. One walking charity says all local authorities should
:08:15. > :08:19.consider adopting the scheme, but they will need to act tough.
:08:20. > :08:23.Enforcement has to be part of this. It can be soft to begin with but now
:08:24. > :08:27.we are one year on and parents should know the drill and it
:08:28. > :08:31.probably needs somebody to pick up people, possibly just warning them
:08:32. > :08:37.and going after persistent offenders. Edinburgh Council says
:08:38. > :08:41.that peer pressure might help. Parents are frustrated with those
:08:42. > :08:46.they cannot get onside, those who park on yellow lines and on corners.
:08:47. > :08:52.It is a minority who spoil it being a safe area for young people to get

:11:13. > :11:18.?15 billion because of the low oil price. Opponents are saying that
:11:19. > :11:23.more than words are needed. There is not a lot in this document that many
:11:24. > :11:29.people will object to. Many of the aims are very worthy. Our concern is
:11:30. > :11:33.that it misses the point. The Scottish economy is underperforming
:11:34. > :11:36.the economy of the UK as a whole. We have a productivity gap between
:11:37. > :11:41.Scotland and the rest of the UK. There is little in this document to

:12:58. > :13:05.opportunity to take things away from a clinical, medical setting. It has
:13:06. > :13:08.been a lifeline for this couple. At first I thought it would be good for
:13:09. > :13:13.him to get out because everywhere I go, he is with me. I thought, if he
:13:14. > :13:18.goes, I will go. Last week I decided I would come and I thoroughly
:13:19. > :13:24.enjoyed it and I am back today. Why were you reticent to come? Possibly
:13:25. > :13:32.I did not want to be roped in as an invalid, which I am not, just
:13:33. > :13:35.somebody that forgets. The benefits of the so-called natural health
:13:36. > :13:39.service are well documented but less is known about the obstacles that
