The First Minister has signed a letter requesting the powers | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
for another referendum on Scottish independence. | :00:37. | :00:37. | |
Nicola Sturgeon argues Scotland deserves the right to choose | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
what path to follow in the wake of the Brexit vote. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
The UK Government has already said it will block a referendum, | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
until after the Brexit process has been completed. | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
Here's our Scotland editor, Sarah Smith. | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
Nicola Sturgeon is signing the letter that she will send to Downing | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
Street. There's been a picture released tonight by the Scottish | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
government when you can see Nicola Sturgeon with her shoes kicked off, | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
her legs tucked up working on the letter. It's a much more informal | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
image than we saw of Theresa May in Downing Street where she was | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
starting -- signing the Article 50 letter. The contrast? That's no | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
accidents, believe me. Whilst she might look casual, the contents of | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
the letter couldn't be more serious. In it, she repeats she has a clear | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
mandate for an independence referendum, not just because of what | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
was in the manifesto last but because she's got the backing of the | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
Scottish Parliament. She repeats she thinks the boat should be held in | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
18-24 months' time because she says the shape of the Brexit deal will be | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
clear that and Scottish voters could make a decision. She knows what the | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
answer is going to be. Downing Street have been very clear. They | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
say now is not the time to talk about another independence | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
referendum and they don't even want to enter discussions about this | :01:50. | :01:50. | |
until the UK has left the EU and to enter discussions about this | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
they are suggesting maybe for even several years after that. | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
Earlier the First Minister accused the Westminster government | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
of planning a "power grab", with its plans to move thousands | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
of pieces of European Union law onto the UK statute book, | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
UK ministers say the changes will include significant new powers | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
Our political correspondent Nick Eardley reports | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
on what the bill might mean for Scotland. | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
A quieter Westminster today, parliament moving on from | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Focus switching to how Brexit woodwork. | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
Deconstructing the media village is swift, but dismantling the rule | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
Today, part of the plan was published. | :02:28. | :02:38. | |
A bill converting European law into domestic legislation. | :02:39. | :02:39. | |
Now is the time to come together in ensuring the UK as a whole | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
is prepared for challenges and opportunities presented | :02:44. | :02:44. | |
Under the bill, thousands of laws would be created, | :02:45. | :02:54. | |
Scottish ministers get power to amend the bold legislation, | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
the UK Government says a number of powers will come to Holyrood | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
from Brussels, but some may go to Westminster. | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
Ministers say that it is necessary to protect stability. | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
My preference is more devolution rather than less. | :03:09. | :04:45. | |
There will also be a review of provision in schools. | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
But some organisations say it lacks ambition, and funds. | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
Here's our health correspondent, Lisa Summers. | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
Overall, what did you make of the strategy? | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
I thought there were a couple of things missing. | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
First, there was no mention of black and minority ethnic people in terms | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
This woman began to experience mental health | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
Half of all mental health problems begin in childhood. | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
It was a long wait for NHS counselling, so found | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
I had a lot of anxiety, which I think I've always had. | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
I cannot remember not having it, I still have it. | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
What I now know is depression, but at the time didn't know that. | :05:23. | :05:32. | |
The government says it wants parity between mental and physical health. | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
But the mental health Minister acknowledges that only one in three | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
people who would benefit from treatment is actually | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
There has also been a great deal of criticism about missed | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
For children and young people getting access | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
We want to create a Scotland where stigma related to mental | :05:50. | :05:58. | |
The strategy was presented to Parliament this afternoon. | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
The mental health Minister said that she would implement 40 actions, | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
including employing 800 specially trained staff, a review | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
of counselling services in schools, and a clinical framework | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
This is the sort of thing the government is investing in. | :06:12. | :06:35. | |
Earlier today, the Minister visited a weekly drop-in centre, a hub | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
Prevention and early intervention are the priorities. | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
You see for the first time over ?1 billion being spent | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
There is already 150 million in place, and the First Minister | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
recently announced an extra ?35 million. | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
What we have committed to today is making sure that spending | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
on mental health will increase above what is spent | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
Opposition parties and charities are concerned the strategy lacks | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
Psychiatrists say that they are pleased with the vision to equate | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
mental and physical health but are concerned about funding. | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
23% of the work done in health services surrounds mental health, | :07:11. | :07:21. | |
yet just under 8% of the budget goes to mental health services. | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
With 300 million, that brings us up to about 8%. | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
So, we are still looking at a significant gap | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
between the size of the problem and the size of the | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
This woman has her own worries about how far the strategy will go, | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
but she says early intervention is key. | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
It has been a lot easier for me to know understanding when I'm | :07:39. | :07:46. | |
I genuinely think if I did not get that help at the age of 16, | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
Lisa Summers, reporting Scotland, Edinburgh. | :07:52. | :08:00. | |
A dr who misled other medics about Pauline Cafferkey, | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
a nurse who developed the Ebola virus, has been suspended | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
Dr Hannah Ryan took Ms Cafferkey's temperature at Heathrow airport, | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
as they returned from West Africa, where they'd been volunteering. | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
Although the Scottish nurse was running a high temperature, | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
a warning sign of the virus, Dr Ryan, pictured here | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
agreed to a lower value being recorded. | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
The Medical Practitioners Tribunal said she'd been guilty | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
The way victims of sexual assault are treated by the NHS | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
and the police after making a complaint, has been | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
strongly criticised by an independent watchdog. | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
The Inspector of Constabulary says services offered to some victims | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
are "unacceptable," and lag behind the rest of the UK. | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
Our home affairs correspondent, Reevel Alderson reports. | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
This clinic in Glasgow is regarded as a model for the treatment | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
They receive professional care here while forensic medical | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
examiners gather evidence to put before a court. | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
But it's the only one of its kind in Scotland and is not always | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
The Inspector of Constabulary says this gives a two tier system whilst | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
elsewhere in Scotland the service offered is described | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
There should be one examination able to address any immediate clinical | :09:11. | :09:20. | |
needs and retrieve any forensic evidence but more importantly that | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
care pathway and actually intervene to meet the wider counselling | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
and follow-up care that an individual might need. | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
The report says the priority in medical forensic examinations | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
should be to address the immediate medical needs of patients | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
The gathering of evidence for future criminal proceedings should be | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
But the report also says most forensic medical examinations | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
in Scotland take place in police stations which it says rarely | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
have discreet access and are much more difficult | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
It goes on to say that Scotland is lagging behind the rest | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
of the UK in dealing with sexual assault victims. | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
In England there are 43 sexual assault referral centres. | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
In Wales four where victims are treated what evidence is retrieved. | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
But in Scotland only one, the report says the government | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
This former senior detective wrote a report four years ago making | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
Victims need to have faith in the process from end to end | :10:28. | :10:35. | |
and if that includes a medical examination it should be done | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
sensitively and a appropriately and with specialist, | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
highly trained and skilled professionals. | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
The Scottish Government says it is committed to improving | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
services to meet the needs of victims, it has announced | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
an expert group to do that with new standards being published | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
Now, before we go, it's time to find out what the weather's going to be | :10:55. | :11:06. | |
like for tonight and the end of the week. | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
Good evening. Fairly wet conditions tonight, here's the latest rainfall, | :11:09. | :11:18. | |
slowly starting to turn heavy. Pretty much tonight, it's cloudy, | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
turning wet, but it will be mild with temperatures 8-10. Tomorrow | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
morning, it is wet, but the heaviest and most persistent of the rain in | :11:29. | :11:36. | |
the West. East of here, the Borders into the Lothians, cloudy, with a | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
spot of drizzle. Similar into parts of eastern five, Angus, | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
Aberdeenshire, perhaps even some morning sunshine. Although it is a | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
dry start for the Northern Isles, there it is, marching northwards, so | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
if you start the day dry, expect a few spots of rain through the | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
morning as that wet weather journeys north. Across the UK, we have most | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
of the wet weather tomorrow. South of the border, a case of some | :12:14. | :12:27. | |
showers. Temperatures into the mid, maybe high teens. Some sunshine and | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
showers in Northern Ireland. For the weekend, we welcome in April, and we | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
welcome the April showers. This Saturday, the showers are | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
everywhere. As we head through to Sunday, a ridge of high pressure | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
builds which means the second half of the weekend, Sunday, will be | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
better weather-wise because it is drier, brighter, with spells of | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
sunshine. It is fresher, with winds from the south-west. Then a sneaky | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
look at next week because we have weather fronts Monday and Tuesday | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
threatening some wet weather. High pressure in the Atlantic muscles its | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
way in from mid week onwards settling things down, meaning it | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
will be largely dry and bright, likely to last with us for a few | :13:16. | :13:16. | |
days. That is the forecast for now. There are regular updates | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
from 6:25am during Breakfast. But, from everyone on the late team | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
here in Glasgow and around Explore the speed of life with | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
