:00:11. > :00:13.Philip Hammond also announced measures to support
:00:14. > :00:17.But the Scottish government says despite today's funding boost
:00:18. > :00:19.there's been almost ?3 billion worth of cuts to the Scottish budget
:00:20. > :00:33.Here's our political correspondent, David Porter.
:00:34. > :00:41.The clock is ticking and the pace of events is speeding up. Today, it is
:00:42. > :00:44.all about the numbers but like everything in politics at the
:00:45. > :00:52.moment, this is a budget that has to be seen through the prism of Brexit
:00:53. > :00:55.and what it could mean for Scotland. For the Chancellor, the first
:00:56. > :01:00.opportunity to pose with the red budget box outside number 11 Downing
:01:01. > :01:06.St. Once in the Commons, a very direct message to Scotland and
:01:07. > :01:09.Scots. Our announcements today deliver on it -- additional funding
:01:10. > :01:17.of ?350 million for the Scottish Government. Cheers from his own
:01:18. > :01:20.side. From the nationalist benches opposite, a muted reaction. In
:01:21. > :01:28.Edinburgh, ministers were not so impressed. In the context of ?2.9
:01:29. > :01:31.billion worth of production since the Tories came into office, it is a
:01:32. > :01:37.production overall in terms of what we would have had. But it is a drop
:01:38. > :01:44.in the ocean to the resources that we could have had. At Westminster,
:01:45. > :01:49.to coincide with the budget, and International woman's Day, a noisy
:01:50. > :01:52.protest by female pensioners who say they have been unfairly treated.
:01:53. > :01:57.Likewise opposition parties were less than condiment tree of the
:01:58. > :02:04.Chancellor 's handiwork. He did not mention Brexit, the biggest
:02:05. > :02:09.influence in generations. A damp squib of a budget. There is nothing
:02:10. > :02:14.to help living standards in Scotland and across the rest of the UK. We
:02:15. > :02:17.always knew this was going to be a difficult budget because the
:02:18. > :02:25.Chancellor does not have much spare cash. It became apparent today that
:02:26. > :02:28.he has no ideas and no ambition. Although few overt references to
:02:29. > :02:35.Brexit, it's clear the message the Chancellor wants to get across. Our
:02:36. > :02:41.United Kingdom has a proud history. We have done remarkable things
:02:42. > :02:43.together. But we look forward, not backwards, confident that our
:02:44. > :02:53.greatest achievements are ahead of us. In the shadow of Big Ben, a
:02:54. > :02:58.piper plays. This time many for the benefit of the tourists. With Brexit
:02:59. > :02:59.talks due to start soon, not everything in the future might be as
:03:00. > :03:02.harmonious. Our business and economy editor
:03:03. > :03:06.Douglas Fraser has been looking at the impact on Scotland's
:03:07. > :03:18.finances. How will it play down at the dog and
:03:19. > :03:27.duck? That is one key question for any budget. Making a further ?100
:03:28. > :03:32.million of capital available immediately for new tree arch
:03:33. > :03:38.Project at English hospitals. Philip Hammond isn't just UK Chancellor, he
:03:39. > :03:48.is Finance Minister Foderingham. But how does it all translate to
:03:49. > :03:51.Scotland? It only partly mitigates the cuts that were already on the
:03:52. > :03:56.way. How is he going to pay for that? By raiding the income of
:03:57. > :04:06.self-employed people and in Scotland, that is one in eight
:04:07. > :04:10.workers. The rise in national Insurance for those above low play
:04:11. > :04:15.with the coupe is to bring them into line with employees but it is far
:04:16. > :04:20.from welcome. It makes it much more difficult to justify becoming
:04:21. > :04:23.self-employed. The government to not understand the benefit to the wider
:04:24. > :04:29.economy of having self-employed flexible workforce where businesses
:04:30. > :04:34.can bring in help and resources for short periods of time which
:04:35. > :04:38.ultimately helps employers expand their business and actually take on
:04:39. > :04:45.more people. The Chancellor repeated his intention to help draw more
:04:46. > :04:49.investment into oil and gas. Though no decisions yet. By taking away
:04:50. > :04:52.this barrier we have highlighted we think it will encourage assets to
:04:53. > :04:57.transfer more effectively and we know that when that happens, we will
:04:58. > :05:01.see more investment and activity being stimulated. And more
:05:02. > :05:06.development drilling. That leads into more production later on. And
:05:07. > :05:14.what wasn't spelled-out today, cuts to welfare, previously announced,
:05:15. > :05:17.soon to bite. The big picture, the economic outlook is not as bad as
:05:18. > :05:23.feared last year but is the pain being delayed? It is still very
:05:24. > :05:27.uncertain. If you look at what has been driving growth, it has been
:05:28. > :05:31.about what is happening in consumption but other levels of
:05:32. > :05:36.investment and greater stability still remain relatively fragile. We
:05:37. > :05:40.are still very much in the wait territory. The main theme from
:05:41. > :05:41.Philip Hammond, uncertainty and caution as governments and economy
:05:42. > :05:44.face up to the Brexit challenges Police say they're confident
:05:45. > :05:47.that the body of missing airman, Corrie McKeague, will be found
:05:48. > :05:49.at a landfill site The 23-year-old disappeared last
:05:50. > :05:52.September after a night out in the nearby town of Bury St
:05:53. > :05:54.Edmonds. It's now known that a bin lorry
:05:55. > :05:56.which collected rubbish from where he was last seen
:05:57. > :06:13.was carrying a significantly heavier Slowly and methodically, specially
:06:14. > :06:17.trained officers carefully rake through waste, mindful that just
:06:18. > :06:20.feet below them could lie the remains of Corrie McKeague. Nearby,
:06:21. > :06:27.a digger waits to come -- collected after each search. To search this
:06:28. > :06:33.area, we are using the digger to draw out the waste, to lay it out on
:06:34. > :06:38.the ground carefully. Katie Elliott from Suffolk police has led a
:06:39. > :06:40.five-month investigation. She is confident her team will find Corrie
:06:41. > :06:53.McKeague the year. This landfill site is massive. Police have said up
:06:54. > :06:57.a compound for the search teams. This is the last image of the
:06:58. > :07:02.23-year-old airman in the early hours of the 24th of September. He
:07:03. > :07:05.went missing from this area of Bury St Edmonds, a rubbish lorry made a
:07:06. > :07:09.collection from here within an hour of his disappearance. The last
:07:10. > :07:19.movements of his mobile phone coincided with the route the lorry
:07:20. > :07:22.took to the landfill. It is not the agony of not knowing, because when
:07:23. > :07:32.you don't know, you can still believe that they are alive. The
:07:33. > :07:40.agony is when you do know... We had just got to find him first. Police
:07:41. > :07:43.say the error over the weight was made by the waste company who
:07:44. > :07:47.provided the data but they say there was no intention to mislead the
:07:48. > :07:51.investigation. Had the least known at the outset about the true weight
:07:52. > :07:57.of the bin, how different would this investigation have been? But also,
:07:58. > :08:01.why did it take more than five months for this fact to emerge and
:08:02. > :08:07.if Corrie McKeague was in that bin, how could a body be taken to a land
:08:08. > :08:15.full like this and for no one to have noticed? It bothers me, of
:08:16. > :08:18.course it bothers me that somebody... Is that is what has
:08:19. > :08:22.happened, then we need to understand how that has happened and to
:08:23. > :08:28.understand the circumstances of what happened. In five months, police
:08:29. > :08:35.only made one arrest. Last week they arrested a man on suspicion of
:08:36. > :08:40.attempting to convert the course of justice. A second man was also
:08:41. > :08:44.caution. All eyes are now focused on this landfill site near Cambridge.
:08:45. > :08:45.Corrie McKeague 's family are praying for the best but are now
:08:46. > :08:52.more than prepared for the worst. Police are understood to be looking
:08:53. > :08:55.into whether the death of a 14-year-old boy in Fife was linked
:08:56. > :08:57.to prescription drugs Liam McAlpine was found at home
:08:58. > :09:00.in Glenrothes on Sunday. A number of youth football
:09:01. > :09:04.clubs have been suspended from their leagues due
:09:05. > :09:06.to their coaches not having It follows the Scottish Youth
:09:07. > :09:09.Football Association's promise to tighten up procedures
:09:10. > :09:11.after our investigation found thousands of coaches were working
:09:12. > :09:13.without the necessary disclosure. Earlier I spoke to our Senior
:09:14. > :09:27.Football Reporter, Chris McLaughlin. Following on from our investigation
:09:28. > :09:30.last year, they found two and a half thousand coaches were working in
:09:31. > :09:36.Scotland in youth football without the necessary background checks.
:09:37. > :09:41.They said OK, you have until the 28th of February to get your house
:09:42. > :09:46.in dash into order. Let's have a look at some figures given that
:09:47. > :09:50.deadline has now passed. 488 coaches have now been suspended. The fallout
:09:51. > :09:56.from that is that 18 clubs have now been kicked out of the league. That
:09:57. > :10:02.is actually a revised figure. I was told earlier it was 20. We believe
:10:03. > :10:05.around 350 children will be impacted, basically meaning that
:10:06. > :10:09.around 350 children who should have had a game of football this weekend
:10:10. > :10:15.will not have a game of football this weekend. Who is to blame, that
:10:16. > :10:18.is the question? They have got to get their house in order and that is
:10:19. > :10:22.what they are doing with the actions they have taken. We have to look at
:10:23. > :10:25.the SFA because they are the government body for football in
:10:26. > :10:29.Scotland and that is where we need to be looking at, good governance
:10:30. > :10:37.and good anticipatory action from them. The Association released a
:10:38. > :10:40.statement disabling saying it is disappointing but player safety is
:10:41. > :10:42.the number one priority. I did speak to one chairman of a club this
:10:43. > :10:48.evening and he said the association is to blame in his opinion. He said
:10:49. > :10:51.they cannot deal with the backlog and honest coaches are being
:10:52. > :10:55.suspended and it is extremely unfair.
:10:56. > :10:58.MSPs have defeated the Scottish government in a vote on education.
:10:59. > :11:00.Parliament backed a Labour motion describing the SNP's stewardship

:11:06. > :11:09.It has also lost votes this month on NHS recruitment and university
:11:10. > :11:30.Thank you. And a very good evening to you. We saw plenty of showers
:11:31. > :11:37.rattling through today but we did see some brighter interludes. Rain
:11:38. > :11:40.for a time tonight and it will be windy. It is tied in with this
:11:41. > :11:45.weather front crossing the country, bringing outbreaks of rain. It
:11:46. > :11:49.sweeps away fairly quickly. Tomorrow morning, we are left with the legacy
:11:50. > :11:52.of Cloud initially. Something brighter coming through at times but
:11:53. > :11:58.also a few showers across eastern Scotland. There will be the odd
:11:59. > :12:02.shower. And then the start of something brighter coming through.
:12:03. > :12:08.Some showers across northern areas. It will still be quite breezy across
:12:09. > :12:15.Orkney and Shetland. The rest of the day is improving. Showers dying
:12:16. > :12:20.away. Scattered with lighter winds. Temperature is not bad either. Nine
:12:21. > :12:29.or 10 Celsius in the sunshine. A pleasant feeling spring day. And
:12:30. > :12:32.that goes for the rest of the UK. Good sunny spells. Temperatures
:12:33. > :12:39.looking quite warm across the Farsala. 14 or 15 across the London
:12:40. > :12:46.area. Some cloud coming into the far south-west later in the day. Back
:12:47. > :12:52.home in Scotland, it is still a dry end to the day. Plenty of sunshine
:12:53. > :12:55.as we head towards dusk as well. These conditions will lead to a dry
:12:56. > :13:01.night with fairly lengthy clear spells across northern Scotland.
:13:02. > :13:05.Quite a widespread frost. A touch of frost in the south and then another
:13:06. > :13:09.change coming our way on Friday, as you can see. Starting off largely
:13:10. > :13:15.dry but outbreaks of rain eventually. It will be wet across
:13:16. > :13:23.western Scotland initially. Rather murky conditions. Shetland does stay
:13:24. > :13:24.dry. All in all, a rather dull and damp day with hints of bright
:13:25. > :13:27.weather. That is your forecast. Our next update is during Breakfast
:13:28. > :13:31.at 6:25 tomorrow morning.
