Police have charged the Glasgow East MP Natalie McGarry | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
Ms McGarry has been under investigation after the Women | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
for Independence campaign group reported discrepancies | :00:18. | :00:18. | |
The MP stood down from the SNP group at Westminster last year | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
A report will now go to the Procurator Fiscal. | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Our political editor, Brian Taylor, has more details. | :00:30. | :00:40. | |
Natalie McGarry, Scottish National Party, 24,000... | :00:41. | :00:41. | |
May last year, triumph - Natalie McGarry ousted Margaret | :00:42. | :00:49. | |
Curran of Labour in Glasgow East at the UK general election. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
It was part of a clean sweep for the SNP in Glasgow. | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
Natalie McGarry was at Nicola Sturgeon's side to celebrate | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
And the sense of uplift continued when Ms McGarry made | :00:58. | :01:04. | |
her maiden speech in the House of Commons. | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
I am privileged to be here, serving the people of Glasgow East. | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
I was swept here on a tide of optimism. | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
That tide seemed to turn when concerns were raised about | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
funding within the campaign group Women for Independence. | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
Natalie McGarry was a leading member. | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
As those concerns emerged, Ms McGarry resigned the whip | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
in December last year, determined, she said, | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
Although no longer part of the SNP she has remained | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
She even wore her wedding dress for a Commons photoshoot of female | :01:33. | :01:40. | |
MPs after having her marriage blessed in a historic | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
Enquiries continued and her solicitor said his client | :01:43. | :01:52. | |
attended Govan police station this morning on a voluntary basis. | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
He said following an interview the MP | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
was charged with several alleged offences including embezzlement of | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
funds, breach of trust, and an offence under the Scottish | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
That is the statute which set out the rules | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
It is understood the charges against Natalie McGarry relate both | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
to Women for Independence and to the SNP Glasgow | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
From the outset the MP has stressed her innocence. | :02:18. | :02:27. | |
The first shipment of shale gas from America has arrived here - | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
but the tanker has so far been unable to dock at Grangemouth | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
But the fracked gas is highly controversial. | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
The Scottish government has a moratorium on fracking | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
while environmental studies take place. | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
The plant's owners - INEOS - say it's good | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
Here's our environment correspondent, Kevin Keane. | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
A new dawn breaks over the North Sea. | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
And a traditional water salute welcomes the first shipment of shale | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
On the tip of the bow, a lone piper heralds the | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
arrival of this controversial delivery. | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
The petrochemical giant receiving it says it is necessary for jobs. | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
It's cost effective today, and looking forward it will take | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
some time to develop the shale gas industry in the UK. | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
When that comes that's going to be a benefit. | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
In the meantime we will secure jobs to get the business running. | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
Ships come and go along the Firth of Forth but this | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
one was always going to attract attention. | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
And this is the iconic scene it's all about. | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
27,500 cubic metres of shale gas about to | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
disappear under the Forth Bridge on its way to Grangemouth. | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
The controversial shipment was meant to arrive at the quayside | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
with a fanfare, but high winds meant it couldn't dock. | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
When it's finally off-loaded, the ethane will be fed | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
into the many miles of pipes here, ultimately coming out as small | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
No Scottish minister was there to greet the ship today, | :04:04. | :04:11. | |
they are keeping their distance while their policy position on | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
It is important that we have a moratorium in place while we | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
in Scotland understand the science behind the proposed technology. | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
It's not for the UK Government to tell the Scottish Government | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
We are clear on our policy position in the rest of the UK. | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
We believe there is significant economic benefit that can come from | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
fracking, but in Scotland it is a matter for the Scottish Government. | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
In the States shale gas has boosted the economy but not | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
Seismic tremors and water pollution among the issues | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
Here protesters gathered, albeit in small numbers, to reflect | :04:46. | :04:55. | |
The impacts of fracking are devastating wherever it | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
happens, and the refrain of the global anti-fracking movement is not | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
For now the shale gas ship remains anchored in the Firth. | :05:05. | :05:14. | |
It will make a fresh attempt to dock on tonight's high tide. | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
A bin-lorry driver has admitted causing the death of an 80-year-old | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
Scott Hamilton reversed a Stirling Council recycling lorry | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
into a mobility scooter used by Peter Wills. | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
At the High Court in Stirling, the 44-year-old was banned | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
from driving immediately and will be sentenced in October. | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
The offence carries a maximum penalty of five | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
Scottish Labour is to get new powers to set its own policy | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
and send a representative to the party's UK executive. | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
The measures were agreed at the party's conference | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
in Liverpool, despite claims part of the package was undemocratic. | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
From Liverpool, here's our political correspondent, | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
A vote she hopes will help Scottish Labour | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
One that brought the party's power struggle to the fore. | :06:03. | :06:16. | |
whether Ms Dugdale should get a seat on the UK executive. | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
The package going forth will gerrymander the NEC and | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
allow for the decision made at the weekend to be vetoed. | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
That contested by Ms Dugdale's allies. | :06:30. | :06:39. | |
An opportunity to close the door on our opponents who make | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
the accusation that Scottish Labour cannot talk for Scotland. | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
A challenge that ultimately ended in failure. | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
Resolution one on NEC rule changes was carried. | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
This is about more than who has a say on which body within | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
The Scottish party spent years trying to fend off | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
claims that it's controlled by London. | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
And after days of wrangling here in Liverpool, this is a victory | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
She's got the autonomy she craves and she has more | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
A delighted Ms Dugdale says she'll take the seat | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
It's the biggest change to how the Labour Party organises | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
itself in a generation and it's been a long time coming. | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
How do you now persuade the country to vote for you? | :07:21. | :07:30. | |
I understand to a lot of people this might seem like navel gazing, | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
internal to the Labour Party, but it is clear that the Labour Party | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
speaks up for Scotland and puts Scotland first. | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
Tomorrow this man will be beating the drum for his | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
policies, but how closely will that be echoed by the Scottish party? | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
The sister of a man accused of the murder of a restaurant worker | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
in North Lanarkshire almost 20 years ago has told the High Court | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
in Glasgow that he claimed to have got away with "the perfect murder". | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
Margaret Chisholm was giving evidence at the trial | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
He denies fatally stabbing Surgit Singh Chhokar in Overtown | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
in North Lanarkshire in November 1998. | :08:09. | :08:09. | |
Now - do we have a crisis in keeping doctors in general practice? | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
It's a question MSPs have been discussing on the Health | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
Committee today - with one in four practices | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
The Health Secretary set out her vision for | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
Our Social Affairs Correspondent, Reevel Alderson, has been | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
Each Tuesday this GP surgery in Edinburgh | :08:31. | :08:39. | |
offers a handful of places on its patient list. | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
I think it's quite degrading a wee bit, making | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
When really you should be able to walk in when you want to register. | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
It's the third unsuccessful attempt to join the practice for this | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
I will say they are very uncompassionate. | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
Doctors' leaders say the shortage of GPs is affecting the | :08:57. | :09:07. | |
It will mean more pressure on hospital services, | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
It means it's increasingly difficult for patients to register with | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
We are beginning to see a situation where lack of GPs mean | :09:18. | :09:26. | |
there may not be a GP available outside of hours. | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
The Royal College of General Practitioners has | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
launched a campaign to persuade more medical students like these at | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
Aberdeen University to join the profession, emphasising it's not | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
I don't really know what it is about community medicine, | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
it's something you have to be passionate about to want to do. | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
I suppose you probably get to know your patients a lot | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
better in community medicine but I don't know. | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
I like the idea that you get to do a bit of everything | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
and build a community, build up a relationship with your patients, | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
You get so many people, families, stuff like that. | :10:04. | :10:17. | |
The GP crisis is especially acute in areas like Shetland. | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
Here patients can be seen by an advanced nurse practitioner | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
who can diagnose, prescribe and treat them without them seeing a | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
It cuts down my costs, obviously, and probably, I would | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
think, cuts down on the National Health Service costs. | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
Because Chris, our community nurse, can come along | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
and check me at his convenience and mine. | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
government has developed to free up GP time, | :10:39. | :10:49. | |
which is also seen as beneficial for patients. | :10:50. | :10:50. | |
It's about the choice and a better environment | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
I see the patients in their own homes which is a safe and | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
The other option is for them to go and visit | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
If we see them in their own home it frees up GP time. | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
It is all about cost and feasibility. | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
Nurses, pharmacists and other specialists are being recruited to | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
work in GP practices, which the government says is part | :11:09. | :11:10. | |
of an increased investment in primary care. | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
Well, it's over to Christopher Blanchett now with the weather | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
outlook for tonight and tomorrow... | :11:20. | :11:27. | |
Good evening. One word sums up the weather for the next few days, | :11:28. | :11:42. | |
windy. Low pressure pushing west to east and the north of the country | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
bringing windy and fairly wet weather. By the end of the week, | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
blustery showers. On the face of it it is a decent start to Wednesday, | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
some morning sunshine around. Temperatures around 11 to 13 Celsius | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
and at this stage winds moderate. The chance of one or two morning | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
showers towards Inverness and the far north-west but they are light | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
and well scattered. After the dry, find morning, things go downhill | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
fairly rapidly. You can see behind me that area of rain sweeping its | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
way inside and by late morning, lunchtime, meaning most areas | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
getting fairly wet through the early afternoon. Pushing through Northern | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
Ireland quite quickly, south of the border, dry and bright, some | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
sunshine, quite warm in the south, into the low 20s. It will be windy | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
and after the rain around lunchtime dryer through the afternoon, still | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
cloudy, but holes in the cloud, temperatures up to 19 or 20 in the | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
South West of Scotland. Another band of Wednesday evening moving | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
eastwards. With it, windy again. You can see on the southern flank of | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
that low front the tightly packed isobars, strong winds through | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
Thursday. We have a yellow warning for disruption on the travel, not | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
only the fairies but probably restrictions on bridges as well, | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
gusts likely around the gale force to severe gale force category, with | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
it blustery showers and a much cooler feel. | :13:23. | :13:31. | |
The next update is from 6:25am tomorrow morning. From the | :13:32. | :13:32. |
