The First Minister has formally requested the transfer of powers | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
from Westminster to hold an independence referendum. | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
In a letter to the Prime Minister, Nicola Sturgeon says there is "no | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
rational reason" why this request should be declined. | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
But Downing Street says it would be wrong to hold | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
talks while the details of Brexit remain uncertain. | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
And the Scottish Tories accused the First Minister | :00:27. | :00:27. | |
On a sofa, the image of shoes off relaxation, | :00:28. | :00:36. | |
the First Minister signs a letter urging an Independence | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
Referendum, an obvious contrast with the Prime Minister, signing goodbye | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
to the EU at a desk below a portrait of Britain's first Prime Minister. | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
One I sit around the day goes shipping table... | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
Nicola Sturgeon says she wishes Theresa May every | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
success in Brexit talks, promising full and constructive support. | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
But she reminds the Prime Minister that the Scottish | :01:05. | :01:12. | |
Parliament has now voted for an Independence Referendum to coincide | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
with the inclusion of those Brexit negotiations. | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
The First Minister adds that there appears to be no | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
rational reason for you to stand in the way of the will of the Scottish | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
Parliament, and I hope you will not do so. | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
I asked the First Minister why now, when she knew the Prime | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
I'm writing to the Prime Minister today, | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
to set out the rational case for the will of the Scottish Parliament. | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
I'm writing to her to formally request that she | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
respects the view of the Scottish parliament. | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
What we're dealing with his natural gas me or the SNP, this | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
If she refuses to enter into these discussions, what I said very | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
In my view the will of the Scottish parliament must be | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
It is a question not of if it is respected, but how. | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
Spokesman for the Prime Minister confirmed she would not enter any | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
The Scottish Tories say the focus should | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
It is a highly theatrical gesture we have all been | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
This is a request for a referendum which the people of | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
Scotland don't want, and the Prime Minister has made it | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
clear she does not believe now is the time. | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
In many respects this is pure theatrical | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
It will not serve any meaningful purpose and we will not | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
be having a referendum in the immediate future until our future | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
outside of the European Union is clear. | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
Nicola Sturgeon insists Scotland must be given a choice. | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
The driver of a bin lorry which crashed in Glasgow, killing six | :02:54. | :03:02. | |
people in December 2014, has been banned from driving | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
for three years and will have to wear an electronic tag | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
Arriving at the sheriff court knowing he could face a custodial | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
Last month, Harry Clarke, on the right, pleaded guilty to | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
His licence was taken away after he lost | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
consciousness at the wheel of a bin lorry which crashed in Glasgow city | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
But just nine months after the crash, he was seen back behind | :03:31. | :03:47. | |
Harry Clarke admitted driving on this road | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
Neighbours had seen him from a window | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
getting into his car in the | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
private car park near his home, turning on the headlights and | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
In his defence, Harry Clarke's lawyer said | :04:02. | :04:10. | |
he had driven the car 30 yards from the car | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
park to the front door and | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
In court last month, Harry Clarke admitted | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
or should have known he was | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
unfit to drive following the bin lorry tragedy, and an episode more | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
than four years earlier when he worked as a bus driver for first | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
But a fatal accident enquiry also held here heard he had a | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
history of fainting and blackouts over 30 | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
years, and had been to the | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
The enquiry found he had lied on forms | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
And the crash could have been avoided had he told the truth about | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
Harry Clarke's lawyer said nothing he said today in | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
mitigation is intended in any wait to diminish the events of December | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
Sentencing Harry Clarke today for driving again, the sheriff | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
told him the decision he had taken to drive | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
short distance, was wholly irresponsible and reprehensible, and | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
placed the safety of the public at risk. | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
He said, you must have been acutely aware of the possible | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
consequences of you losing consciousness while driving. | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
Harry Clarke has been banned from driving | :05:23. | :05:23. | |
for three years, although his license had already been revoked | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
He will be supervised for a year, is tagged and on a curfew | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
If he breaches this, the consequences could be | :05:33. | :05:45. | |
An employment tribunal case taken by two foster carers in Glasgow | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
could have wide-ranging implications for the future status | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
James and Christine Johnstone want all carers to be treated | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
as employees by local authorities, with all the rights | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
Glasgow City Council says it works closely with its carers to resolve | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
We work with vulnerable young people, we are | :06:08. | :06:17. | |
We're getting involved, we are trying our | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
Why local authorities kicks -- scared to give us employee rights or | :06:23. | :06:31. | |
The Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry has called for people who wish to appear | :06:32. | :06:43. | |
during its first public hearings to come forward. | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
They'll begin at the end of May, and will hear evidence | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
from survivor groups and large care providers as well as | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
The inquiry says evidence is continuing to be taken | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
Every pregnant woman in Scotland will receive free | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
The Scottish Government said the move was aimed at improving | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
the health of parents and children, and had widespread support | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
Football, and Aberdeen thrashed Dundee 7-0 at Dens Park to ensure | :07:06. | :07:13. | |
that Celtic will have to wait to be crowned | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
The Dons were four up at half time, and Andrew Coinsidine scored | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
They're now 11 points clear of Rangers in third place. | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
Edinburgh lost by 22 points to 32 against La Rochelle | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
at Murrayfield, in the quarter finals of the European | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
Duncan Weir's penalty drew Edinburgh to within four | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
points of the French side, but they pulled away again. | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
Well, It's over to Kirsteen now with the weather outlook | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
After some rain across much of the country, tonight is looking largely | :07:44. | :08:01. | |
dry, fairly cloudy, do hold onto some light patchy rain, hourly | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
across the far north north-west. The 1st of April, it dawns on a cloudy | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
node with how big is raining in west, particularly giving way to | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
showers in the morning which will eventually become fairly widespread. | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
It will be bright sunny spells in between. Around 2pm tomorrow, we | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
could see some showers just about anywhere, fairly heavy, some will be | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
slow-moving with little in terms of wind. Brightness, some sunshine in | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
between the showers, and with temperatures around 1013 Celsius for | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
most of ours, given some sunshine and light wind. It would feel too | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
bad. Across the rest of the UK, much the same story, sunshine and April | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
showers. Heavy, slow moving, potentially thundery in nature, but | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
with plenty of brightness and sunshine in between. Temperatures | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
are widely entered double figures, peeking into 16 Celsius across the | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
south-east. Tomorrow evening, we have this ridge of high pressure | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
which begins to Bruges in, and that will kill off the UK. A dry night to | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
come, clear with a touch of Frost in some sheltered rule spots. As we | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
head into Sunday, high-pressure staying with us, a dry day to come | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
across brightness and sunshine. Temperatures climbing well into | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
double figures and with light winds that will yield really quite | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
pleasant in the sunshine. A look ahead to the beginning of next week, | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
that area of high pressure will begin to pull away, we'll see some | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
rain moving into the west of Scotland and across Northern | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
Ireland, always back and try a further east. Hazard | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
From everyone on the late team here in Glasgow, | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
to sit down and really flush everything out. | :10:00. | :10:07. |
