:02:59. > :03:02.first intervention in this election has been to say that she would put
:03:03. > :03:06.Jeremy Corbyn in number ten. Labour's Jeremy Corbyn has ruled out
:03:07. > :03:11.a collision with the SNP, and Nicola Sturgeon steered clear of such talk
:03:12. > :03:16.today, arguing that Labour had no transfers winning. You only have to
:03:17. > :03:19.take one look of the polls to know that Jeremy Corbyn ain't going
:03:20. > :03:24.anywhere near number ten Downing St on his own or with the help of
:03:25. > :03:27.anywhere else. They said that they wanted the Tories to win UK power to

:04:24. > :04:32.The issue was certainly raised repeatedly at questions, you know,

:04:37. > :04:40.of view she does not want this to be or intend this to be, I have spoken
:04:41. > :04:46.to several Government ministers here at Holyrood, and they don't expend
:04:47. > :04:50.-- expect this to be a referendum on a referendum. They held at the last
:04:51. > :04:55.election 56 out of the 59 Scottish seas. They see it as a possible trap
:04:56. > :04:58.that if they fall even a fraction below that extremely high level than
:04:59. > :05:02.perhaps their Conservative opponents would say, you are slipping back,
:05:03. > :05:07.the demand for a referendum has eased, slacken, gone away. So why do
:05:08. > :05:12.not think they want it to be about that. They want to be, as they put
:05:13. > :05:16.it, standing up against a hard Brexit and Tory austerity. Does that
:05:17. > :05:17.mean that Nicola Sturgeon has given up a referendum? The answer to that

:05:51. > :05:55.Jeremy Corbyn think this election is still up for grabs. But you might
:05:56. > :06:00.put him in ten Downing St in seven weeks' time. Much of the media and
:06:01. > :06:04.the establishment are saying, this election is a foregone conclusion.
:06:05. > :06:08.But of course they do not want us to win. Because when we win, it is the

:06:14. > :06:18.happen. Especially without the help of other parties. He says no to a
:06:19. > :06:25.coalition. But what about an informal arrangement? If we were to
:06:26. > :06:28.become the largest single party but not have a majority, we would then
:06:29. > :06:31.set out our policies. It would then be for the SNP, policy by policy, to
:06:32. > :06:36.decide whether they thought they should vote with us or not, that is
:06:37. > :06:40.the honest way of doing politics. For now, it's hypothetical. Many
:06:41. > :06:44.think it is likely to happen. But the Conservatives say it is a
:06:45. > :06:48.danger. There is a very clear choice between strong and stable government
:06:49. > :06:51.with strong leadership under Theresa May and the Conservatives, or a
:06:52. > :06:54.coalition of chaos with Jeremy Corbyn propped up by the Scottish
:06:55. > :07:03.National Party and the Liberal Democrats. The SNP says it would be
:07:04. > :07:05.interested in alliances, if that could keep the Conservatives out of
:07:06. > :07:08.Government. But they think it is unlikely. There is no prospect of
:07:09. > :07:10.Labour coming back into power on the back of this election. Of course, in
:07:11. > :07:14.the unlikely event that there were to be ways we could oust the Tories
:07:15. > :07:17.from office and support our progressive alliance, we could do
:07:18. > :07:21.that. It is not just the Nationalists that have been rooted
:07:22. > :07:26.as potential members. The Greens say they are disappointed that Labour is
:07:27. > :07:28.ruling out a formal deal. I'm deeply disappointed, and people up and down
:07:29. > :07:38.the country are disappointed because it is yet more of the same kind of
:07:39. > :07:41.politics that puts their own political self interest above the
:07:42. > :07:43.interests of the country. Labour have ruled out a deal so early in
:07:44. > :07:45.this campaign because they think that rumours of one seriously
:07:46. > :07:47.damaged them last time around. But that is exactly why the
:07:48. > :07:51.Conservatives will talk up the prospects. Opinion polls suggest it
:07:52. > :07:55.is extremely unlikely. But at the end of the day it is all down to
:07:56. > :07:58.you, the voters. Jeremy Corbyn think this race is far from over.

:08:21. > :08:26.For some youngsters, their school dinner is the most important meal of
:08:27. > :08:30.the day. At this school, fresh fruit and vegetables are always an option.
:08:31. > :08:35.It's important that you always healthy and you get your five a day.
:08:36. > :08:39.It's not OK to have pizza and chips every day because it's bad for your
:08:40. > :08:44.help. Is it OK to eat sweets some of the time? It is only for treats, not
:08:45. > :08:48.everyday. There are Government guidelines to try to make sure that
:08:49. > :08:54.the meals on offer are healthy and varied. Councils are responsible for
:08:55. > :08:56.the local service. Scottish Government have strict legislation
:08:57. > :09:00.that we followed to the letter. Chips only appear on the menu once a
:09:01. > :09:04.week. What is most important is making sure that the other options
:09:05. > :09:07.that are available are healthy and enticing for the young people point
:09:08. > :09:12.many schools and councils would highlight what they see as good
:09:13. > :09:16.practice. But although there are national guidelines, is their
:09:17. > :09:21.national consistency? The quality of school meals that are offered across
:09:22. > :09:24.Scotland varies dramatically. Local authorities tended to offer puddings
:09:25. > :09:31.more often than soup, and they regularly serve processed food and
:09:32. > :09:34.red meat. We feel that needs to change. They also want schools to
:09:35. > :09:39.cut down on processed foods, and the change. They also want schools to
:09:40. > :09:42.vegetables, soups and salads should take priority over puddings. The
:09:43. > :09:46.Government is currently reviewing the guidance. What I would say to
:09:47. > :09:50.parents is that the standards that we have in place or enforced that
:09:51. > :09:56.Jude, they are of the highest quality, they guarantee that young
:09:57. > :10:00.people are getting high-quality, high nutritional value food in their
:10:01. > :10:02.schools, but we are constantly considering and assessing those
:10:03. > :10:09.regulations to make sure that the high standards that we to set are
:10:10. > :10:13.able to be delivered in practice and we set up inspections to make sure
:10:14. > :10:17.that is the case. Back in this dining hall, healthy choices seem to
:10:18. > :10:23.be popular choices. Councils can be held to account for the quality of
:10:24. > :10:25.school meals, and the council elections are just a fortnight away.

:11:01. > :11:06.a jury was selected for this case. It's made up of eight men and seven
:11:07. > :11:11.women. Craig Whyte faces two charges relating to the way the club changed
:11:12. > :11:16.hands some six years ago. He is charged with fraud and with a breach
:11:17. > :11:21.of the companies act. The first charge, the fraud charge, alleges
:11:22. > :11:24.that Craig Whyte pretended to the then owner of Rangers, Sir David
:11:25. > :11:28.that Craig Whyte pretended to the Murray, that he had sufficient funds
:11:29. > :11:34.to take a controlling stake in the Ibrox club. And the Crown claims
:11:35. > :11:40.that in fact Mr Whyte did not have sufficient money, but funded the
:11:41. > :11:44.deal through a loan taken out against future season ticket sales
:11:45. > :11:50.for Rangers. The second charge under the companies act centres on the ?18
:11:51. > :11:55.million payment between Mr Whyte's company and Rangers to clear a bank
:11:56. > :11:59.debt. Mr Whyte has pleaded not guilty to both these charges. David,
:12:00. > :12:03.there has been a lot of publicity in this case, hasn't there? What did
:12:04. > :12:09.the judge have to say about that? Well, that's right. The judge, Lady
:12:10. > :12:13.Stacey, asked the jury to consider matters before evidence was to be
:12:14. > :12:16.heard. She said, do you know Craig Whyte? Were you a Rangers
:12:17. > :12:22.shareholder or a season-ticket holder at the time of the deal? Is
:12:23. > :12:27.there any good reason, she said, why you can't be impartial in this case?
:12:28. > :12:33.In the event, none of the jurors had to be excused, and the first witness
:12:34. > :12:38.is expected to begin giving here tomorrow in a trial which could

:13:35. > :13:41.many of those discussions about the new framework were also held behind

:15:47. > :15:51.commute to work by bike. Maybe we put off by sharing the with cars all

:16:04. > :16:07.logged into the habits of 250,000 commuters across the UK over a
:16:08. > :16:13.five-year period, and said there was a link between regular cycling and a

:20:21. > :20:36.In magnificent Monte Carlo, could Andy Murray live up to his
:20:37. > :20:47.surroundings? The early signs were promising indeed. His opponent was a
:20:48. > :20:52.Spanish clay court specialist, and took the first set. Although the
:20:53. > :20:56.Spaniard hit back immediately to force the deciding third. It was
:20:57. > :21:02.textbook Andy Murray as he raced to the lead, but despite shots like
:21:03. > :21:11.this the winning script was ripped up as 4-0 became 4-4. Being 4-0 up
:21:12. > :21:15.in the third, I haven't lost many matches like that in my career so
:21:16. > :21:20.I'm disappointed but my elbow felt pretty good, I served much better
:21:21. > :21:24.today than I did yesterday and that will only get better so hopefully I
:21:25. > :21:28.will keep going in the right direction. His year as world number

:21:36. > :21:40.grand slam ended early in the fourth round. It emerged Andy Murray was
:21:41. > :21:48.suffering from shingles, which made his win in Dubai all the more
:21:49. > :21:53.repressive. -- impressive. After one month out, he survived one round in
:21:54. > :22:00.Monte Carlo. A disappointing year so far but his status as world number
:22:01. > :22:11.one isn't yet under threat. Could Monaco's lost the Portugal's gain?

:22:28. > :22:29.A schoolgirl has taken part in her first lifeboat rescue,
:22:30. > :22:32.after getting the call-out when she was in class.
:22:33. > :22:35.Eighteen year old Danielle Marr joined other crew members to help

:22:39. > :22:53.Lifeboats on a rescue mission. 25 foot vessel suffered mechanical
:22:54. > :23:04.failure. A short time earlier Danielle Marr was in class, busy
:23:05. > :23:10.with her studies. Alerted by a pager message, Danielle was on her way to
:23:11. > :23:14.her first rescue. I thought, this is the first time, I wasn't really sure
:23:15. > :23:22.what to expect when I got down there. Danielle made it here on foot
:23:23. > :23:27.in a matter of minutes ready to play her part in the rescue. She has been
:23:28. > :23:35.a lifeboat volunteer for several months. She has carried her pager
:23:36. > :23:41.since January. When it goes and off, the waterproofs replace the blazer.
:23:42. > :23:46.I have been inspired by my brother, following in his footsteps. What
:23:47. > :23:52.went through your mind as you headed out? I was pretty unsure because
:23:53. > :23:59.I've never been on a shout before but it went really good. The RNLI
:24:00. > :24:03.depends on volunteers like Danielle. It is essential. Without the
:24:04. > :24:07.Youngblood, we would stagnate, we would get to the point where we
:24:08. > :24:11.don't have people fit all young enough to do the job, and hats off
:24:12. > :24:16.to the school for their support and allowing her to do it. One rescue
:24:17. > :24:22.under her belt, Danielle is waiting for the next time you call goes out
:24:23. > :24:24.but not during the exam she is sitting in a few weeks' time.
:24:25. > :24:26.Let's get the latest on the weather outlook.
:24:27. > :24:40.It is turning quite cold. Some lovely spells of sunshine around.
:24:41. > :24:44.The best of the sunshine in the east, which topped 19 degrees.
:24:45. > :24:48.Further west with the cloud it was cool but if you had blue skies in
:24:49. > :24:53.Aberdeen it was a very pleasant day indeed. Tonight pretty cloudy across
:24:54. > :24:59.the board, outbreaks of rain across the north and west extending
:25:00. > :25:06.southwards, but the good part of the central lowlands and the south dry,
:25:07. > :25:10.and on the mild side. Cold across Shetland, windy too from the
:25:11. > :25:14.north-west. Tomorrow a cloudy morning, this rain edging southwards
:25:15. > :25:18.through because of the day but the further south and east you are any
:25:19. > :25:22.wet weather light and patchy and it should brighten up as we head
:25:23. > :25:27.through the afternoon. In mid-afternoon still available cloud
:25:28. > :25:35.in the south. Temperatures ten and much cooler, further north it should
:25:36. > :25:40.be brightening up by this point. Forget the 19 degrees we had today.
:25:41. > :25:45.With it a few showers coming on the strong winds, some of those showers
:25:46. > :25:50.could be a touch wintry across Shetland. Overnight some late spells
:25:51. > :25:54.of sunshine, and relatively calm as we had through towards Saturday.
:25:55. > :26:00.High pressure nearby. Still that north westerly flow but largely dry
:26:01. > :26:03.and fairly cloudy. Some morning brightness around, but showers
:26:04. > :26:08.across the far north and north-east. Wintry across the hills and
:26:09. > :26:13.temperatures reaching to Celsius but again wintry for Shetland. On Sunday
:26:14. > :26:17.an area of low pressure moving across the country, and a spell of
:26:18. > :26:22.wet and windy weather focused across northern areas. As it clears as we
:26:23. > :26:29.had through to next week, we open the floodgates for really cold
:26:30. > :26:38.arctic air. April showers of rain, sleet and snow. That's the forecast
:26:39. > :26:44.for now. I will be back with the late bulletin just after ten o'clock
:26:45. > :26:45.news. From everyone on the team and right across the country, goodbye.
