:01:46. > :01:50.Natalie McGarry ousted Margaret Curran of Labour in Glasgow East at
:01:51. > :01:53.the UK general election. It was part of a clean sweep for the SNP in
:01:54. > :01:56.the UK general election. It was part Glasgow. Natalie McGarry was at
:01:57. > :02:01.Nicola Sturgeon's side to celebrate that success. And the sense of
:02:02. > :02:05.uplift continued when McGarry made her maiden speech in the House of

:02:11. > :02:16.I was swept here on a tide of optimism. That tide seemed to turn

:02:24. > :02:26.Women for Independence. Natalie those concerns emerged, Miss McGarry
:02:27. > :02:31.resigned the whip in December last year, determined, she said, to clear

:02:59. > :03:03.offences including embezzlement of funds, breach of trust, and an
:03:04. > :03:08.offence under the Scottish independence referendum act 2013.

:04:12. > :04:17.bow, a lone piper heralds the arrival of this controversial
:04:18. > :04:20.delivery. The petrochemical giant receiving it says it is necessary
:04:21. > :04:25.for jobs. It's cost effective today, and looking forward it will take
:04:26. > :04:29.some time to develop the shale gas industry in the UK. When that comes
:04:30. > :04:33.that's going to be a benefit. In the meantime we will secure jobs to get
:04:34. > :04:37.the business running. Ships come and go along the Firth of Forth but this
:04:38. > :04:43.one was always going to attract attention. And this is the iconic
:04:44. > :04:47.scene it's all about. 27,500 cubic metres of shale gas about to
:04:48. > :04:52.disappear under the Forth Bridge on its way to Grangemouth. The
:04:53. > :04:57.controversial shipment was meant to arrive at the quayside with a
:04:58. > :05:00.fanfare, but high winds meant it didn't stop. When it's finally
:05:01. > :05:05.off-loaded, the eating will be fed into the many miles of pipes here,
:05:06. > :05:10.ultimately coming out as small plastic pellets Manufacturing. A
:05:11. > :05:14.Scottish minister was there to greet the sheet -- no Scottish minister
:05:15. > :05:17.was there to greet the chip today, they are keeping their distance
:05:18. > :05:24.while the policy on fracking is considered. It is important that we
:05:25. > :05:29.have a moratorium in place while we in Scotland understand the science
:05:30. > :05:33.behind the proposed technology. It's not for the UK Government to tell
:05:34. > :05:37.the Scottish Government what to do on this issue. We are clear on our
:05:38. > :05:42.policy position in the rest of the UK. We believe there is significant
:05:43. > :05:45.economic benefit that can come from fracking, but in Scotland it is a
:05:46. > :05:49.matter for the Scottish Government. In the States shale gas has boosted
:05:50. > :05:52.the economy but not without controversy. Seismic tremors and
:05:53. > :06:02.water pollution among the issues some have felt. No fracking! No
:06:03. > :06:06.fracking! Here protesters gathered, albeit in small numbers, to reflect
:06:07. > :06:10.those concerns. The impacts of fracking are devastating wherever it
:06:11. > :06:13.happens, and the refrain of the global anti-fracking movement is not
:06:14. > :06:19.here, not anywhere. For now the shale gas ship remains anchored in
:06:20. > :06:20.the first. It will make a fresh attempt to dog on tonight's high
:06:21. > :06:23.tide. More than quarter of the jobs
:06:24. > :06:26.supported by Britain's oil and gas That's according to
:06:27. > :06:29.the industry's own figures. With the sharp fall in the price
:06:30. > :06:32.of oil, spending and new investment So that's left the question,
:06:33. > :06:37.will the North Sea industry be ready to grow again when this
:06:38. > :06:40.downturn is over? Here's our business and economy
:06:41. > :06:48.editor, Douglas Fraser. The past two years have brought
:06:49. > :06:51.a big financial storm With the oil price well under half
:06:52. > :06:58.of its level until 2014, firms have The cost of producing the average
:06:59. > :07:02.barrel of oil is down The numbers directly employed have
:07:03. > :07:08.fallen from 42,000 to 34,000 - four in every five of them
:07:09. > :07:10.based in Scotland. But it's the supply chain and those
:07:11. > :07:13.who benefit from its spending that The total number supported
:07:14. > :07:23.by the oil and gas industry down from 450,000 two years ago,
:07:24. > :07:31.to 330,000 this year - nearly two out of every five
:07:32. > :07:34.of that total in Scotland. Those lower costs should
:07:35. > :07:36.help to make more projects But firms are reducing the number
:07:37. > :07:42.of projects in their business plans. And exploration is down to only six
:07:43. > :07:47.wells sunk so far this year. So for every barrel newly
:07:48. > :08:03.discovered, four are being extracted If you don't have the investment,
:08:04. > :08:06.you don't have the exploration, you don't have to development, it
:08:07. > :08:09.obviously leads into a drop in production in coming years. So we
:08:10. > :08:14.think we'll see production continuing to go up because of
:08:15. > :08:17.previous investment and efficiency improvements but it's the question
:08:18. > :08:20.of what then after those years, we've gone through those years.
:08:21. > :08:22.Just before the oil price plummeted, the offshore industry was seeing
:08:23. > :08:28.As a result of that, we're now seeing output rise, a bit.
:08:29. > :08:36.That's after steep falls from the peak, 16 years ago.
:08:37. > :08:39.That's expected to level off soon and to fall unless those stranded

:09:27. > :09:31.a victory that didn't come easy. One that brought the party's power

:09:41. > :09:50.forth will gerrymander the NEC and allow for the decision made at the

:09:57. > :09:59.opportunity to close the door on our allies who make the accusation that
:10:00. > :10:04.Scottish Labour cannot talk for Scotland. A challenge that

:10:16. > :10:21.claims that it's controlled by London. And after days of wrangling
:10:22. > :10:23.here in Liverpool, this is a victory for cosier Dugdale. She's got the

:12:56. > :12:59.particularly accident and emergency. It means it's increasingly difficult
:13:00. > :13:03.for patients to register with practice. We are beginning to see a
:13:04. > :13:10.situation where lack of GPs mean there may not be a GP available
:13:11. > :13:13.outside of hours. The Royal College of General practitioners has

:13:35. > :13:40.don't know. I liked the idea that you get to do a bit of everything
:13:41. > :13:44.and build a community, build up a relationship with your patients,
:13:45. > :13:49.follow progress. People, families, stuff like that. The GP crisis is
:13:50. > :13:54.especially Knute Imro areas like Shetland. Here patients can be seen
:13:55. > :13:58.by an advanced nurse practitioner who can diagnose, prescribe and
:13:59. > :14:06.treat them without them seeing a surgery. It cuts down my costs,
:14:07. > :14:10.obviously, and probably, I would think, cuts down on the National

:14:21. > :14:24.GP time which is also seen as beneficial for patients. It's about
:14:25. > :14:30.the choice and a better environment to be seen in. I see the patients in
:14:31. > :14:32.their own homes which is a safe and friendly environment. The other
:14:33. > :14:38.option is for them to go and visit their GPs. If we see them in their

:24:36. > :24:39.be perfectly honest, in Champions League nights. It's where this club
