:01:18. > :01:21.been setting out an upbeat vision for the future of the party as part
:01:22. > :01:30.of a federal United Kingdom. By contrast Jeremy Corbyn,

:01:44. > :01:46.overshadowed by Jeremy Corbyn and Labour's chances of government
:01:47. > :01:59.ebbing further away? Let's put it this way, there are two
:02:00. > :02:04.elements to politics, there is policy and in that regard Labour
:02:05. > :02:07.think that the announcement on federalism gives them a big
:02:08. > :02:11.cardboard alongside that is power. In opposition you get to say things
:02:12. > :02:14.but in government you get to do stuff. Kezia Dugdale is stressing
:02:15. > :02:18.the autonomy of the Scottish Parliament but she is only too well
:02:19. > :02:24.aware that difficulties for Labour south of the border tend to wash
:02:25. > :02:31.north to Scotland. Nice to see you. It started with a kiss, and a
:02:32. > :02:35.promise. Kezia Dugdale knows the last thing Labour wants to talk
:02:36. > :02:43.about is the constitution. Labour needs a new offer. Our vision, the
:02:44. > :02:47.Scottish Labour vision is for a radical reshaping of the UK that

:03:02. > :03:05.Kezia Dugdale visualisers a People's Convention. More clout for the

:03:09. > :03:13.put to the Scottish people if another independence referendum is
:03:14. > :03:17.held. I don't want to be another referendum. I can certainly see a
:03:18. > :03:23.legitimate case for if there were to be a referendum that you might put
:03:24. > :03:26.something as strong as a federalist solution the ballot paper.
:03:27. > :03:32.Implementing that would require Labour to be in power, not on the

:03:35. > :03:38.Labour member then now from a UK It has never been tougher being a
:03:39. > :03:44.wide perspective, we have never looked further from forming a
:03:45. > :03:47.government. Labour held of Ukip in the Stoke by-election but lost
:03:48. > :03:53.Copeland to the Tories, so where does that leave the leadership of
:03:54. > :03:59.Jeremy Corbyn. It is a disappointing result. I can't help but think, it
:04:00. > :04:03.is to blame for that. Jeremy Corbyn is our leader, he has the support of
:04:04. > :04:08.the entire Labour Party because we have to get on with it. Personally,
:04:09. > :04:15.I didn't vote for him but he is my leader, so I'll support him. The
:04:16. > :04:19.voice of the members, what does the leader think? Should Jeremy Corbyn
:04:20. > :04:24.consider his position? I am 100% behind him. I have a job to do here
:04:25. > :04:30.in Scotland. It is an autonomous party. I'm going to continue doing
:04:31. > :04:32.that. The conference will hear from Kezia Dugdale tomorrow and from
:04:33. > :04:34.Jeremy Corbyn on Sunday. Brian -- and Kezia Dugdale has been
:04:35. > :04:45.talking about the pressures Yes. That was also at that fringe
:04:46. > :04:50.meeting, reflecting that since the beginning of the years she has split
:04:51. > :04:54.from her partner of nine years and her best friend has died. She said
:04:55. > :04:59.it was dreadful and appalling to cope with but she did so simply by
:05:00. > :05:03.taking it one step at a time. But there will be huge pressures in the
:05:04. > :05:06.party and Labour need to take some galloping strides to advance its
:05:07. > :05:09.position both north and south of the border. In one regard, I think there
:05:10. > :05:26.will be movement on that idea of the
:05:27. > :05:28.People's Convention and I think that Tom Watson, the Deputy Leader of the
:05:29. > :05:31.party may give it its backing tomorrow and it is expected in the
:05:32. > :05:33.next few weeks or months that there will be an actual move to set up
:05:34. > :05:34.such an initiative. There was more gloomy news
:05:35. > :05:37.for the Royal Bank of Scotland today as it reported a 7 billion pounds
:05:38. > :05:40.annual loss -- the ninth year in a row that its
:05:41. > :05:42.failed to make a profit. The bank is now looking to make
:05:43. > :05:45.savings of two billion pounds, which will mean job cuts
:05:46. > :05:47.and more branch closures. But its chief executive wouldn't be
:05:48. > :05:54.drawn on their scale. I have not put a number out and I
:05:55. > :05:58.will not. My view is to always talk to our people first and there will
:05:59. > :06:04.be job cuts in this organisation, there has to be, given that over the
:06:05. > :06:07.next four years we will take ?2 billion worth of costs out of the
:06:08. > :06:13.organisation to make us a really good bank. These things are
:06:14. > :06:16.happening because banking is changing and it is changing rapidly
:06:17. > :06:16.as well and we need to be a competitive bank.
:06:17. > :06:19.I'm joined now by our business and economy editor Douglas Fraser.
:06:20. > :06:26.Douglas, are these losses better or worse than predicted?
:06:27. > :06:33.They are a lot worse and the pain goes on for longer. There is a core
:06:34. > :06:39.bank in their summer struggling to get out. It made not a bad figure in
:06:40. > :06:46.profits. That was last year. Set against that, you have ?10 billion
:06:47. > :06:51.of fines and legal costs and restructuring, that is for
:06:52. > :06:54.mis-selling, for claims that they misled investors, rigging markets,
:06:55. > :07:00.?2 billion for restructuring and a huge bill for trying to carve out a
:07:01. > :07:04.bit of Royal Bank of Scotland, which they called a different name, that
:07:05. > :07:08.has failed and they cannot sell it or floated and the costs of
:07:09. > :07:13.reintegrating it back into RBS and getting rid of the tuba gating
:07:14. > :07:14.branches, that looks like billions more, effectively for achieving
:07:15. > :07:16.nothing at all. So, how does RBS hope
:07:17. > :07:25.to turn this around? There is that core bank, it is
:07:26. > :07:30.attracting customers as well. They need to get these fines and legal
:07:31. > :07:35.cases behind them, their plans have slept for another year, they don't
:07:36. > :07:39.expect a profit from this year and we are looking at ten years of
:07:40. > :07:43.losses, probably more than ?60 billion of losses by that time and
:07:44. > :07:49.because they have slimmed down from the one of the biggest banks to
:07:50. > :07:51.focusing only on the UK and Ireland, costs are high relative to income by
:07:52. > :08:07.industry standards and they want to continue cutting costs, ?3 billion
:08:08. > :08:09.over the past two years. That means a lot of jobs, it means branch
:08:10. > :08:12.closures and that is partly because the industry is changing. Most of
:08:13. > :08:13.their customers use digital and mobile banking, one fifth use only
:08:14. > :08:15.their customers use digital and that so financial technology is a
:08:16. > :08:17.threat and an opportunity and RBS wants to be at the forefront of it.

:11:16. > :11:21.was at explaining that it was about exam time, they said it was really

:21:23. > :21:28.focus on that should make a huge difference to each player and the
:21:29. > :21:31.team in general. Patron of the team, the First Minister, helped with the
:21:32. > :21:35.announcement today and she will no doubt remember a similar arrangement
:21:36. > :21:38.which allowed the Scottish women's hockey team to go full-time in the
:21:39. > :21:43.run-up to the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. How much has
:21:44. > :21:47.been provided for our female footballers to go professional? The
:21:48. > :21:50.overall package could be worth over ?100,000. A third coming from the

:21:55. > :21:58.third from sport Scotland and a third from energy provider SSC. So
:21:59. > :22:06.many young girls would look at these players and this team and want to be

:22:38. > :22:40.enlisted to help ensure the long term survival of Scotland's
:22:41. > :22:44.native red squirrel. The scheme aims to reduce grey
:22:45. > :22:47.squirrel numbers in southern and central Scotland,
:22:48. > :22:50.and eradicate them Our environment correspondent,
:22:51. > :23:02.Kevin Keane reports. It might look like free food but
:23:03. > :23:07.this cute little red squirrel is giving a piece of himself every time
:23:08. > :23:12.he lifts the lid. Inside, little sticky pads take a tiny sample of
:23:13. > :23:17.the of the animal brushes against it. These are collected and examined
:23:18. > :23:22.to find that the prevalence of the red and grey squirrels. We have two
:23:23. > :23:26.here that are from the two species and without much doubt, the one on
:23:27. > :23:30.the right is grey and the one on the left is red. Sometimes you find
:23:31. > :23:37.both. That is when you really need a microscope to look at these pads
:23:38. > :23:40.because you have crisscrossing hairs from two species on the same piece
:23:41. > :23:46.of Velcro and you have to look very carefully. The ?2.5 million funding
:23:47. > :23:49.from the lottery fund will be used to set up large-scale community
:23:50. > :23:55.monitoring. They will then be able to target areas where grey squirrels
:23:56. > :23:59.are advancing and reduce their numbers. That is happening already
:24:00. > :24:03.in Aberdeen with huge success and now there is a new aim of
:24:04. > :24:07.eradicating grey squirrels entirely. It behaves like an island population
:24:08. > :24:16.so it is spread out and what we have managed to do is restrict them and
:24:17. > :24:21.eradication is feasible. This scheme has its critics. People asking,
:24:22. > :24:25.should we be killing one animal in favour of another? Conservationists
:24:26. > :24:31.argue this is an invasive species whose presence is causing the
:24:32. > :24:37.decline of a native animal. It is estimated just 120,000 red squirrels
:24:38. > :24:38.survive in Scotland and if the grey squirrels are controlled, the team
:24:39. > :24:40.hope that number can increase. A fairly decent day of weather in

:25:24. > :25:28.across western and northern isles and through Sam Northeast in coastal
:25:29. > :25:32.areas. Becoming increasingly mild as we go through the night with
:25:33. > :25:38.temperatures recovering to around seven to nine Celsius during the

:26:49. > :26:53.across the border hills perhaps, otherwise, some showers and winds
:26:54. > :26:58.from the south-west ranging from 30-60 mph. Tomorrow evening,
