Jeremy Corbyn's allies are backing Kezia Dugdale to remain | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
It comes after a former adviser to Gordon Brown suggested she'd face | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
a challenge for her position from a pro-Corbyn MSP. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Our political correspondent, Nick Eardley, has the story. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
Fresh from last night's hustings, Jeremy Corbyn in Edinburgh today. | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
Voters have joined the Labour Party to support him but the leader | :00:30. | :00:40. | |
in Scotland is backing his rival, saying Mr Corbyn | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
It has been suggested that could lead to Mr Corbyn's supporters | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
The deputy who supports him will probably challenge Kezia Dugdale. | :00:48. | :01:01. | |
He is a man whose ambition may be in inverse proportion | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
to his ability, but he is certainly ambitious. | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
The UK candidates made their pitch to Scotland last night. | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
What has gone wrong, they were asked. | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
We have gone backwards on your watch in Scotland, | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
You were meant to be winning back Scotland on the basis | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
There is a big fight ahead and a long road back. | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
The SNP are actually doing an austerity programme | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
Think Kezia Dugdale is doing a Rhun job, a fantastic role model. | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
I think she is doing a fantastic job and is a great role model for Labour | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
What does that mean for the Scottish Labour leader? | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
There has been angry response to Mr Sinclair's comments from some | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
Alex Rowley says the idea that he would stand is rubbish. | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
A leadership challenge, he says, is not on the cards. | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
Neal Findlay is one of Mr Corbyn's closest allies in Scotland, | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
He stood in the last Scottish leadership election | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
We asked if he would consider standing again. | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
Kezia Dugdale has a large mandate to lead the Scottish Labour Party. | :02:16. | :02:25. | |
This former Labour MP thinks it is time to get behind | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
I thought it was appalling and I don't envisage | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
Kezia Dugdale has been elected by the Scottish party members | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
and is working hard to make sure that Labour regains its electoral | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
Can this man or his rival help with that, or might | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
They were called "legal highs" but are now very much "illegal | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
highs" and the police say that a change in the law three months ago | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
banning their sale and distribution is having a "significant effect." | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
But some say the new laws on psychoactive substances | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
could actually be causing further problems. | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
Our home affairs correspondent, Reevel Alderson, reports. | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
three months ago that name is no longer appropriate. | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
New psychoactive substances can no longer be sold legally and importing | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
Police Scotland say the new law has had a significant effect. | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
Before it, there were 90 retailers selling the drugs across Scotland | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
and now there are none, with premises closed, | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
Police say there have been no arrests for offences under the act | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
but they admit that they know it is still going on. | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
There is a small minority of premises that are a persistent | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
and resistant element continuing to sell them. | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
That falls within the realms of the legislation, so the police | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
and our partners will robustly target those individuals | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
and we would encourage them to cease selling. | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
The problem in the past was that legal highs could be easily | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
chemically altered to help overcome any legal ban. | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
The new legislation has been designed to overcome that. | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
But in Ireland, where there is a similar law, | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
consumption of new psychoactive substances has actually risen | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
That is concerning this drugs awareness charity in Edinburgh, | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
which fears that driving the sale of the streets might actually cause | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
When these were on open sale was shocking to people but the fact | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
that they were on open sale was perhaps suggesting incorrectly | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
that they might be safe because they were being tolerated. | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
Now that they are banned, I suppose the worry is that there | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
If these are sold online, or through traditional drug dealing | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
networks, we feel the price will go up and there is more | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
The charity and police are warning users that buying the drugs online | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
from overseas brings a risk of prosecution as it could be | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
classed as importing them, which is prohibited | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
Drivers in Edinburgh look likely to be asked to stay away | :05:13. | :05:21. | |
The city's council has been piloting a scheme which bans vehicles | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
from some areas to try and cut accidents and promote walking. | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
Edinburgh's experiment with traffic movement around schools | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
At nine of them, drivers were told they could not | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
The result, confusion and frayed tempers. | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
Nearly one year on, Edinburgh City Council says | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
the scheme delivered real benefits, not least for children, | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
many of whom now walk to and from school. | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
It means signs like this are set to become a permanent feature | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
But are all the drivers obeying the rules? | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
This is another school that asked to take part in the pilot. | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
When school finished at lunchtime today, some drivers were clearly | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
I got a phone call to pick up my friend's child, | :06:14. | :06:21. | |
because she is stuck in traffic, she is late. | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
The police have been at the top of the road and they | :06:24. | :06:35. | |
A report on the pilot scheme goes before the Transport Committee | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
on Tuesday with a recommendation that it becomes permanent. | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
One walking charity says all local authorities should consider adopting | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
the scheme, but they will need to act tough. | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
It can be soft to begin with but now we are one year on and parents | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
should know the drill and it probably needs somebody to pick up | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
people, possibly just warning them and going | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
Edinburgh Council says that peer pressure might help. | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
Parents are frustrated with those they cannot get onside, | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
those who park on yellow lines and on corners. | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
It is a minority who spoil it being a safe area for young | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
East Lothian Council already run a similar scheme. | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
So far, other areas have yet to signal that they are on board. | :07:30. | :07:38. | |
Kilmarnock took on visitors Rangers at Rugby Park tonight | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
The Ayrshire side dominated the first half and took | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
But a free kick in the second half saw the visitors equalise | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
Kilmarnock had a man sent off and had to withstand | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
a late surge by Rangers, but they held on to claim a point. | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
Let's get the weekend weather outlook now from Christopher. | :08:00. | :08:10. | |
Good evening. It was the case of sunshine and showers today and a few | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
rainbows around as well. Our weather Watch is taking plenty of pictures. | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
There's showers fade tonight and tomorrow very little in terms of | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
weather going on. Dry, fairly cloudy, but we have this weather | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
front producing outbreaks of rain that will move north towards | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
Midlands. In Scotland, a generally dry start, some brightness around at | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
times and a few spots of rain in the south-west extending up to the | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
north-west and perhaps one or two lighter spots in the central belt by | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
mid-afternoon. Across the UK, that is where the real action is. You can | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
see this plume of white weather from of the wash down to Dorset. It will | :08:51. | :08:58. | |
be wet. For most of Wales and northern England and Northern | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
Ireland, cloudy. Similar for us. Temperatures up to 19-20 with the | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
chance of some rain at times, nuisance value than anything else. | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
Across the West, spots of rain here but generally dry. The far north | :09:13. | :09:20. | |
Northern Isles, or and Shetland, best chances of sunshine for you. In | :09:21. | :09:29. | |
the evening, fairly dry. And then to Sunday we have a ridge of high | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
pressure in the Atlantic and the wet weather pulling away towards | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
Scandinavia. For us, and other dry day after a damp start. Certainly | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
for the North and South. Through the afternoon, drying up with sunny | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
weather pushing in from the West Coast. Look at the north-east and | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
south-east, heavy downpours likely at times. That is the forecast for | :09:51. | :09:51. | |
now. From everyone on the late team | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
here in Glasgow and around | :09:55. | :09:58. |
