:00:56. > :01:16.of Labour's election manifesto - which includes the renewal
:01:17. > :01:19.of Trident on the Clyde. Scottish party leaders said the leak
:01:20. > :01:23.showed Labour in disarray. But after talks in London,
:01:24. > :01:26.the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the package had been endorsed
:01:27. > :01:29.unanimously, after changes. This from our political
:01:30. > :01:35.editor Brian Taylor. In hot pursuit of Jeremy Corbyn, not

:02:06. > :02:11.when the Corbyn car ran over his foot. Mind the Gap. From Labour in
:02:12. > :02:16.London, an update on the manifesto was leaked overnight with its plans
:02:17. > :02:20.for ownership -- public ownership of rail and royal energy. Kezia Dugdale
:02:21. > :02:24.told me the leak was far from ideal. She stressed that Scottish Labour
:02:25. > :02:28.would publish its own manifesto, reflecting devolved powers. But how
:02:29. > :02:32.about Trident? The manifesto backs renewal of the nuclear deterrent
:02:33. > :02:37.while urging extreme caution about its use. Renewing Trident runs
:02:38. > :02:41.contrary to Mr Corbyn's own views and a vote by the Scottish Labour
:02:42. > :02:45.conference. I always said we would give our party membership the space
:02:46. > :02:48.to debate these issues. We took a position against the renewal of
:02:49. > :02:52.Trident. The final vote of the Labour Party is to renew Trident,
:02:53. > :02:58.but also to work on the basis of discussion. So the Scottish Labour
:02:59. > :03:04.Party was overruled? It was part of a democratic process and this was
:03:05. > :03:09.the result. The manifesto promises to campaign tirelessly against any
:03:10. > :03:12.repeat of the 2014 independence referendum, and it backs a new
:03:13. > :03:19.constitutional settlement for the UK.
:03:20. > :03:26.I understand that Scottish Labour wanted changes firmly backing the

:03:35. > :03:38.gas industry. But rivals say the row leaves Scottish Labour looking like
:03:39. > :03:44.tartan onlookers. For the SNP, Nicola Sturgeon was visiting St
:03:45. > :03:48.Andrews university. She marks Labour done. When you look at Labour, you
:03:49. > :03:51.are not looking at a party that is fit to be in government. On Trident,
:03:52. > :03:55.the SNP position is clear. We are against nuclear weapons in
:03:56. > :03:59.principle. These are weapons of mass destruction. But at a time when
:04:00. > :04:05.public services are under so much pressure, spending tens of billions
:04:06. > :04:07.of pounds on new weapons of mass destruction is the wrong thing to
:04:08. > :04:10.do. The Liberal Democrats published what they called a commit card,

:04:31. > :04:37.are prepared to step up and be that strong opposition if people back us
:04:38. > :04:41.in this election. And the Conservatives say Labour's plans are
:04:42. > :04:46.unsustainable. The only thing which hasn't been leaked seems to be how
:04:47. > :04:51.they would pay for all the suggestions. Even Jeremy Corbyn's
:04:52. > :04:55.enemies don't seem to want to leak how they would deliver these
:04:56. > :05:02.policies, so it is clear from that that they have no idea. And the

:05:51. > :05:55.people of Scotland deserve a government that will for once focus
:05:56. > :05:58.on their priorities and not on hers? But the First Minister said the
:05:59. > :06:02.Conservatives had a reason for wanting to change the subject. When
:06:03. > :06:09.Ruth Davidson talks about the time spent in this chamber debating the
:06:10. > :06:15.constitution, what she's trying to distract attention from is that that
:06:16. > :06:21.constitution, what she's trying to has been time debating the
:06:22. > :06:23.implications of Brexit, the Brexit disaster. Labour were keen to
:06:24. > :06:30.highlight their campaign on NHS funding. Our hospitals don't have
:06:31. > :06:35.enough nurses. Those nurses don't have enough money in their pocket.
:06:36. > :06:36.Our hospitals don't have enough doctors, but there is enough money
:06:37. > :06:40.Our hospitals don't have enough for private health firms. Is this
:06:41. > :06:42.what the NHS looks like when the government is more interested in
:06:43. > :06:49.running a referendum than running the NHS? The performance of
:06:50. > :06:52.Scotland's schools and in particular a decline in some literacy and
:06:53. > :06:57.numeracy skills has made the headlines this week, a point made

:08:50. > :08:52.than the purchaser. He said, I have never been pushed so hard on any

:09:00. > :09:02.he was repeatedly asked for assurances that Craig Whyte had the

:21:51. > :21:57.wants change, the first parting company with head coach Sterling
:21:58. > :22:03.Davis. I was certainly disappointed, I would have liked to work with him
:22:04. > :22:06.this year but my gut instinct was we needed to do something different and
:22:07. > :22:11.Sterling Davis was on board with that as well and as a consummate
:22:12. > :22:14.professional. So they are searching for a new coach and looking for

:22:21. > :22:26.some pretty big ambitions. What do you want to see achieved next

:22:51. > :22:53.more popular. Now a lot of people are playing it. Membership of

:23:05. > :23:08.potential there. There is certainly enough interest in the sport that
:23:09. > :23:15.there could be two franchises in the future. I think the rocks would
:23:16. > :23:22.benefit from that in terms of having a local derby. Have you ever been to
:23:23. > :23:26.see the Glasgow rocks? Yes, two or three times. They do have their off

:24:30. > :24:33.haven't recorded a drop of rain for about two weeks since the 28th of
:24:34. > :24:40.April, today no different for most of us. Call up around the east coast
:24:41. > :24:44.with stubborn cloud. Plenty of evening sunshine pretty much across
:24:45. > :24:48.the board, but overnight there will be some cloud forming around eastern
:24:49. > :24:51.coasts, some low cloud drifting inland through the central belt at
:24:52. > :24:58.times and a few showers pushing towards Galloway, Kintyre and the
:24:59. > :25:02.Hebrides. But for most dry night with temperatures no lower than
:25:03. > :25:11.around five Celsius, but at school in the countryside. Showers for the
:25:12. > :25:13.Hebrides tomorrow, but a good part of Central Scotland bright and
:25:14. > :25:17.sunny, then come the afternoon showers pushing in across the south.
:25:18. > :25:21.This time yesterday we were expecting those showers to be

:25:43. > :25:46.coast from the south-east. As we had through into the evening, these
:25:47. > :25:52.showers in the south-west heavy for a time. That is low-pressure moving

:25:58. > :26:01.Saturday looks fairly cloudy and rather wet at times. A rash of
:26:02. > :26:05.showers across the country, some quite heavy with the odd rumble of
:26:06. > :26:09.thunder in the mix as well. Still breezy around the coast, and the
:26:10. > :26:13.temperatures similar despite the cloud and rain so quite busy
