The Scottish Government has announced a package of financial | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
support for businesses following protests | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
?44 million will go to curb rate rises in the hospitality | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
industry, the north-east and in the renewables sector. | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
The move has been widely welcomed - although the Conservatives said | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Ministers had been forced into a climb-down. | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
This from our Political Editor Brian Taylor. | :00:27. | :00:40. | |
Worktable is that? Table ten. Remembers Sheila? We told you how | :00:41. | :00:48. | |
her hotel faced a business increased rate of more than 10%. She warned of | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
how her community risked becoming a ghost town. Derek Mackay has already | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
acted, diverting ?155 million to cut rates and exempt more small firms, | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
but it wasn't enough. Particular pain felt by hotels, pubs, | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
restaurants and cafes, whose value is linked to turnover. Many were | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
facing huge increases. I can confirm today that we will now offer a new | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
national relief that caps increases for hotels at 4.5%. That | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
announcement covers the entire catering industry. But the owner of | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
this 5-star Aberdeen Hotel is still refusing to be any increase at all. | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire have been badly had by the oil downturn. Rates | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
rises from within 1000 officers in these areas will also be capped prop | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
.5%. We can see that the Scottish Government has listened to the | :01:50. | :02:00. | |
region. There is additional support. The Tories welcomed the move, but | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
said ministers had been forced into a U-turn after first denying there | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
was a problem. It is all too typical that the actions of a Government | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
that time and time again. At the wheel and only wakes up when it | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
crashes the car into the wall. Back to Sheila in Stonehaven is good and | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
I is the statement. Her response... It is a big relief, because it means | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
my rates bill will go up by ?100 a month | :02:30. | :02:44. | |
instead of ?1000 a month. It is a big relief and I can go forward and | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
relax not having to sit and analyse whether I am going to have to pay of | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
staff or not. One satisfied customer. There may be more change | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
to come. Even so reviews during the Meanwhile, MSPs have voted to set | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
income tax for the coming year, and, for the first time, | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
the arrangements here will be Higher earners living in Scotland | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
will be asked to pay more than those in England, | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
Wales and Northern Ireland. For as long as revenues have flowed | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
from income tax, the charges applied have been the same on both | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
sides of the Tweed River, and in all parts of the UK, | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
but that is about to change. In Scotland, tax isn't going up, | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
but SNP ministers have decided not to match | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
a tax cut for higher If there's a percentage of taxation | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
in Scotland which is marginally higher, it is well spent | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
if spent on the NHS. We are one country and | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
should have the same tax From April, you will | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
pay income tax at 20p in the pound on annual earnings | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
of above ?11,500, same as south of But there is a difference | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
for those paying higher Elsewhere in the UK | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
you would only pay that In Scotland, the threshold | :03:41. | :03:54. | |
is frozen at ?43,000. It means higher rate taxpayers | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
here will pay up to ?400 more each year than | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
elsewhere in the UK. With policies like free | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
prescriptions and free university tuition, the finance secretary | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
argues that Scotland has the best But there are those | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
who think the Government is not making enough | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
use of its tax powers. We are disappointed there is not | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
enough there to battle austerity My union is a union | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
of tax workers, and we believe in tax, justice, | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
and redistribution of wealth. Others think that | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
taxing Scots more than those in the rest of the UK | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
could damage the economy. I think it could be | :04:22. | :04:36. | |
a significant disadvantage It's the potential for sending out | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
messages that Scotland is going in that direction | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
and we think income tax is There will always be | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
a disagreement over how much tax we pay, | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
but what is settled is that when it | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
comes to income tax, it's politicians here that | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
will decide the rates and bands that apply to taxpayers | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
living in Scotland. A stonemason has told a fatal | :05:00. | :05:08. | |
accident inquiry into the death of an eight-year-old boy, | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
who was killed by a falling gravestone, that the memorial | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
was a definite hazard and dangerous. Peter Hayman told the hearing that | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
if he had seen the gravestone before Ciaran Williamson's death, | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
he would have fenced Ciaran Williamson's | :05:21. | :05:21. | |
family leave court, having heard testimony | :05:22. | :05:32. | |
from a stonemason who examined gravestones | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
at Craigton Cemetery after Here, on the evening of the 26th | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
of May nearly two years ago, Ciaran Williamson came | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
here to play with friends. Not long after arriving, | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
a gravestone fell on top of him. Today, the court heard | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
from Peter Hayman from the National Association of memorial Masons, | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
who told the fatal accident enquiry that if he inspected the gravestone | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
before Kiran's death, he would have fenced it off immediately and said | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
it was a definite hazard and danger Under questioning, he said | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
that the problem with the gravestones was a lack of dowels, | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
combined with the roots of a nearby He said the headstone | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
would have failed or Later, a representative | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
for the Council asked that if he thought the | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
headstone was so perilously balanced Peter Hayman replied no, | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
but if it was leaning Later in the afternoon, | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
there were tears from Ciaran Williamson's family, | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
as the pathologist reports detailing It said that the stone | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
fell on top of his head, and then fell further down | :06:41. | :06:50. | |
and hit his chest and tummy. The fatal accident enquiry | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
here at Glasgow Sheriff Police in Renfrewshire | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
are investigating reports that a 27-year-old woman was raped | :06:59. | :07:07. | |
on a pathway behind An area near the Wallace School | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
in Elderslie near Paisley The suspect is described as a white | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
male aged between 35 to 50, with dark receding hair, | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
and a medium to stocky build. It's estimated there are almost | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
30,000 carers in Scotland who are under 18, and more | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
than a quarter of them Whilst many are proud | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
of their role as young carers, others suffer serious stress, | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
isolation and depression. Fiona is partly paralysed | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
by an autoimmune disease. Her 13-year-old daughter, | :07:38. | :07:58. | |
Abbey, is her Qera. I was never like the other kids, | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
because my mum was... I had some issues | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
like being out with my friends, or I would have to be | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
home if my dad was at work. Over a quarter of Scotland's young | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
carers care for more than one parent She has to be my carer | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
and I regret it, she should be a teenager and do the normal | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
things that teenagers do. There are 29,000 young | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
carers in Scotland. It is thought many more | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
are trying to cope. Scared of asking for help | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
in case they are separated. There are those who have | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
more demand, and heavier In some instances, that | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
would impact on their mental health and we must make sure we have | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
the appropriate services for those The survey found many feel | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
left out or stressed. I've become more confident | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
because I'd gone to things like that, before | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
I was not confident at all. The Scottish Government says | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
that young carers make a vital contribution, | :09:00. | :09:07. | |
they spend ?130 million on targeted programmes but except more | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
support is needed. She gets fed up and | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
I understand that. I don't think I am special, | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
it's how I have to be. For as long as I could remember, my | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
mum has had the disease and I have One of the senior figures carrying | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
