:00:28. > :01:10.Mohammad Aslam and Talat Aslam are a couple from the Newlands area on the
:01:11. > :01:47.South Side of Glasgow. Mohammad Aslam was in his 70s, his

:01:56. > :01:59.of what is believed to be their extended family from Manchester.
:02:00. > :02:02.This afternoon, I spoke to a very good friend of the family. And he
:02:03. > :02:04.said he completely understood why such warm tributes have been paid
:02:05. > :02:08.today on social media. Particularly to Talat Aslam, who he said was a
:02:09. > :02:11.very warm and outgoing person. She was a ladies lady. All the
:02:12. > :02:14.functions, charities. All the groups, she was there. The ladies
:02:15. > :02:17.will be missing her. And Mohammad Aslam, a very helpful friend? To me,
:02:18. > :02:20.like my own brother. And anything I needed, he would come over and help
:02:21. > :02:23.me out. When I moved to this house, to put the windows in all bathrooms,
:02:24. > :02:25.or whatever. He was a thorough gentleman. So they will be missed?
:02:26. > :02:29.Definitely very much missed and I am really deeply sorry about it. For
:02:30. > :02:30.other people, three adults and a baby, also died in that crash. Those
:02:31. > :02:33.members of the family come from Manchester. Press have already been

:02:37. > :02:39.draft climate change plan is too much of a "techno fix" with not
:02:40. > :02:42.enough focus on changing behaviour. The environment secretary has laid
:02:43. > :02:44.out a series of proposals for reducing greenhouse gas
:02:45. > :02:46.emissions by 66% by 2032. Our environment correspondent
:02:47. > :02:48.Kevin Keane reports. They are the three industries
:02:49. > :02:50.responsible for our greenhouse gas emissions - energy,
:02:51. > :03:02.transport and electricity make up 80% of the gasses
:03:03. > :03:04.in the atmosphere. Today, a plan to fix
:03:05. > :03:07.the damage they have caused. At the end of the day,
:03:08. > :03:09.if we don't fix this problem, the negative impact will be on huge
:03:10. > :03:23.numbers of people. On transport, the aim is to make two
:03:24. > :03:24.fifths of all cars ultralow emission by 2032. Half of all buses will be
:03:25. > :03:26.the same. There is a commitment to decarbonise
:03:27. > :03:29.the electricity sector with increased capacity for energy

:03:32. > :03:36.the nutrient value of soil. NFU Scotland welcoming

:03:39. > :03:43.is clear, what is good for the planet is good
:03:44. > :03:47.for your pocket and we will support The Conservatives accused
:03:48. > :03:53.the minister of not fully costing the plan,
:03:54. > :03:55.but gave it their backing. The announcement today
:03:56. > :04:00.of the intention to reduce emissions by 66% by 2032 against the 1990
:04:01. > :04:02.baseline, is a transformational The plan is a 178 page document
:04:03. > :04:12.and the devil will be in the detail. There was no commitment
:04:13. > :04:14.on a workplace parking levy like the one in Nottingham,
:04:15. > :04:21.but it wasn't dismissed. And heat pump technology
:04:22. > :04:24.made in Glasgow will be in area examined to help decarbonise
:04:25. > :04:27.the heat supply from 2025. I don't think it goes
:04:28. > :04:29.far enough on areas I think there is scope
:04:30. > :04:34.for all parties to come up with good ideas on how the plan can be made
:04:35. > :04:37.more specific and the steps can be James Watt's steam engine sparked

:05:33. > :05:34.on the menu, Brexit. Enter Theresa May, to articulate her
:05:35. > :05:37.vision of the future. Britain is and will always be,

:05:46. > :05:51.a direct message to Scotland It comes in the week Mrs May
:05:52. > :05:58.explicitly ruled out remaining Today in Whitehall, more talks
:05:59. > :06:05.on the nitty-gritty of Brexit. But the Scottish Government
:06:06. > :06:07.is still angry with the Prime I think it is a breach of the terms
:06:08. > :06:14.of this particular meeting. We were meant to be
:06:15. > :06:16.involved in decisions not There will be a general view it
:06:17. > :06:20.breached the process After two hours of talks which did
:06:21. > :06:29.little to improve the mood It was the wrong thing
:06:30. > :06:33.to say at the wrong time. It is fair to say, in great part,
:06:34. > :06:36.the other administrations were very concerned she had
:06:37. > :06:38.pre-empted the meeting. She made a pronouncement
:06:39. > :06:41.on the single market, which is the wrong
:06:42. > :06:44.pronouncement to make. She had done so frankly,
:06:45. > :06:47.with contempt. Anger from some of Northern
:06:48. > :06:50.Ireland's politicians, but a more emollient tone
:06:51. > :06:53.from the Scottish Secretary. The Prime Minister has set
:06:54. > :06:55.out her plan for how Britain should exit from the EU,
:06:56. > :07:01.which is what people voted for across the United kingdom
:07:02. > :07:07.on the 23rd of June. Obviously, we will have differences
:07:08. > :07:09.with the Scottish National I don't think people
:07:10. > :07:15.would expect otherwise. The First Minister and the Prime
:07:16. > :07:21.Minister are due to meet again soon and Brexit will be top
:07:22. > :07:25.of the agenda. Further discussions will be held
:07:26. > :07:27.between Scottish and UK Also next week, the Supreme Court
:07:28. > :07:35.will make a key ruling on how the Brexit process should
:07:36. > :07:37.get under way. But most are expecting a long,

:08:57. > :09:00.for another bus. They are talking about taking
