:00:00. > :00:00.manifesto has leaked, we will have an extended peep at what is in it.

:00:00. > :00:00.Join me on BBC Two. On BBC One it is Good evening on Election

:00:00. > :00:07.Reporting Scotland tonight... Will Brexit have an

:00:08. > :00:19.impact on GP services? Like my patients to have access to

:00:20. > :00:22.GPs whenever they need to. And the Scottish Greens reveal just

:00:23. > :00:24.how many seats they'll In the run up to the general

:00:25. > :00:47.election next month, we're bringing you an extended

:00:48. > :00:49.late-night Reporting Scotland but that hasn't stopped it creeping

:00:50. > :00:58.into the general election The Royal College of GPs

:00:59. > :01:04.is concerned that doctors from EU countries may not be allowed to stay

:01:05. > :01:08.in the UK after Brexit. And they say that could mean

:01:09. > :01:12.Scotland losing more than 200 GPs. Let's hear first from our political

:01:13. > :01:30.editor Brian Taylor. Millport, on the Clyde for violent.

:01:31. > :01:35.A local MP, originally from Poland. Talk of Brexit leaves her and fellow

:01:36. > :01:39.EU nationals nervous. Their concern extends to her patients. I would

:01:40. > :01:44.like my patients to have access to GPs whenever they need to. In

:01:45. > :01:50.emergency situations as well as appointments. I'm not sure what will

:01:51. > :01:53.happen to that, so that could be potentially dangerous. And the issue

:01:54. > :02:00.took centre stage in the election campaign today with the focus on

:02:01. > :02:04.Brexit. He weighed all the pies? Nicola Sturgeon did in East Martin

:02:05. > :02:09.should. She said the issue proved the need for a big SNP presence in

:02:10. > :02:14.the Commons. This really highlights the dangers they had, reckless

:02:15. > :02:17.Brexit, and that makes it important that this election delivers MPs from

:02:18. > :02:28.Scotland who will fight Scotland's corners. Spend all your time...

:02:29. > :02:33.Kezia Dugdale here the... That is for Holyrood, not Westminster. They

:02:34. > :02:38.say they have the... For doctors, Labour says things can only get

:02:39. > :02:45.worse. There is a workforce crisis amongst GPs, but letters not pretend

:02:46. > :02:50.that did not exist before Brexit. It will get worse with independence.

:02:51. > :02:54.that did not exist before Brexit. It Dingwall, this man dresses his case.

:02:55. > :02:58.He says the concern over doctors says this is a blunder. This is one

:02:59. > :03:01.of the many reasons that we are discovering to why we should be

:03:02. > :03:06.remaining at the heart of Europe, because it is going to damage our

:03:07. > :03:12.NHS with the loss of MPs. We're going to lose many nurses from the

:03:13. > :03:18.NHS, too. But what is it all mean for the price of fish? This man in

:03:19. > :03:22.Peterhead says the industry will gain from escaping the EU rules. The

:03:23. > :03:28.SNP fears UK ministers will strike a deal to maintain access for EU

:03:29. > :03:31.fleets. On today's other European topic, the Tories say they want an

:03:32. > :03:37.agreement to keep EU doctors here, but they diagnosed other health

:03:38. > :03:41.problems. We have got to look about NHS are for the future why is it

:03:42. > :03:45.that there is an effective cap on the number of Scots going to

:03:46. > :03:48.Scottish medical schools, why is there a cap on the doctors of the

:03:49. > :03:53.future? That is something we can sort right now in Scotland. Student

:03:54. > :03:58.numbers for medicine have long been controlled, but competition is eased

:03:59. > :04:02.slightly in recent years. Back in Millport, this doctor has elevated

:04:03. > :04:04.her first year as the island GP. She hopes for many more. Taylor,

:04:05. > :04:05.Reporting Scotland. Well, with me now is the health

:04:06. > :04:15.journalist Pennie Taylor. Good evening to you. Is the Royal

:04:16. > :04:20.College of GPs are right about this? Not just by GPs, but for NHS staff.

:04:21. > :04:27.We have known since the Brexit discussion started long before the

:04:28. > :04:31.vote that the potential for harming our health workforce is there in the

:04:32. > :04:38.decision to leave Europe and to prevent the free movement of people.

:04:39. > :04:46.The doctors unions are saying one in 25 GPs working in Scotland currently

:04:47. > :04:50.is a European national and that if it means that that they would leave

:04:51. > :04:55.or they are not allowed to stay, then that is potentially very

:04:56. > :04:59.alarming for the NHS in Scotland. The Royal College had already warned

:05:00. > :05:04.before this that Scotland had lost 90 GPs in four years, and we would

:05:05. > :05:10.need another 800 by just 2021, so actually it is a pressure point

:05:11. > :05:14.anyway. The problems with general practice are very long-standing.

:05:15. > :05:20.These problems have been seen coming for the last 15 years that the very

:05:21. > :05:25.least and they have been various efforts to mitigate the problems,

:05:26. > :05:29.but they are not working. You are seeing people pulling out of general

:05:30. > :05:33.practice, people, young doctors not wanting to take it up as a

:05:34. > :05:39.profession, and there is an issue here with how we manage primary

:05:40. > :05:43.care. I think things have to change pretty fundamentally from the way it

:05:44. > :05:48.has been done. We have general practice working the way since

:05:49. > :05:51.before the NHS was formed in the 1940s, and you have to ask yourself

:05:52. > :05:55.whether it is fit for purpose and whether we are brave enough about

:05:56. > :06:01.looking at other models. And very quickly, GPs will be at the centre

:06:02. > :06:06.of the community-based health system that is hopes for foot in the

:06:07. > :06:10.future. But there is a lot more to community-based health care then

:06:11. > :06:14.GPs. There are fantastic nurses that are piloting new ways of working

:06:15. > :06:17.which are thought to be extremely effective and a more mixed economy

:06:18. > :06:17.would benefit patients. Pennie Taylor,

:06:18. > :06:22.Well, to discuss the issues in the studio is Phillipa Whitford,

:06:23. > :06:25.an SNP candidate and the Scottish Labour MSP Anas Sarwar,

:06:26. > :06:38.Good evening to you both. I will come to you first. This is not

:06:39. > :06:43.directly about health, is it? That relates to Brexit and that a hard

:06:44. > :06:47.Brexit will lead to the loss of doctors from EU countries. Can

:06:48. > :06:51.Labour make a commitment to protect NHS staff, do you think, in this

:06:52. > :06:55.eventuality? Absolute. I would wish that every political party can make

:06:56. > :06:59.that commitment in this campaign because they are right to highlight

:07:00. > :07:06.the crisis in general practice. The reality is that this crisis has been

:07:07. > :07:09.in place way before Brexit, but the reality is that if we lost hundreds

:07:10. > :07:13.of GPs because of leaving the EU, that would only amplify the crisis

:07:14. > :07:18.and not minimise the risk. That is why I think every political party

:07:19. > :07:23.should guarantee the rights of all EU nationals to remain here and

:07:24. > :07:28.across the United Kingdom. We should thank all of them that have come to

:07:29. > :07:33.make Scotland, the UK their home and wanting to work for the NHS. I think

:07:34. > :07:36.political parties should be saying that special arrangements should be

:07:37. > :07:41.in place, should attract people from right across the EU, to come and

:07:42. > :07:45.make Scotland their home and work in the NHS, particularly in an time

:07:46. > :07:49.during a workforce crisis. Philippa Whitford, critics say the SNP has

:07:50. > :07:54.been in Government for ten years already with responsibility for the

:07:55. > :07:57.NHS, so any problems with GP numbers, which we already know

:07:58. > :08:09.exist, it should have been locked out before now, before this issue. I

:08:10. > :08:11.think as was said, the issue around attracting more young doctors into

:08:12. > :08:14.general practice is something that has been going on for a long time,

:08:15. > :08:16.and some of that is within the profession itself. General practice

:08:17. > :08:21.has to be more respected and students encouraged into it, not

:08:22. > :08:25.seen as some sort of second class specialism, which is something is a

:08:26. > :08:29.case during my time as a doctor. Why is it still not appealing,

:08:30. > :08:34.especially in rural areas? I think that has been a lot of attempts,

:08:35. > :08:38.creating more trainee praises. But I think in the universities, our young

:08:39. > :08:42.students and doctors when they just graduate need to spend time in

:08:43. > :08:46.general practice and then they actually see what the whole point

:08:47. > :08:50.that is. By husband is a GP and despite all the articles that say

:08:51. > :08:55.how awful it is, he loves what he does. The other side of it, he is

:08:56. > :09:00.German, and he has worked in our NHS for 31 years, and 11 months on has

:09:01. > :09:06.no idea what his future is this country. Let me come back to you

:09:07. > :09:11.quickly, because Labour's draft general election manifesto has just

:09:12. > :09:16.reportedly been leaked this evening among plans, nationalising energy

:09:17. > :09:22.industry, scrapping tuition fees as well, Labour also says committing to

:09:23. > :09:26.renewing the UK's nuclear weapons system Trident. As a something that

:09:27. > :09:28.Scottish Labour would be behind as well? As you said, the manifesto may

:09:29. > :09:33.Scottish Labour would be behind as have been leaked. You may have a

:09:34. > :09:39.good opportunity to read it. He plans to released on Tuesday. We are

:09:40. > :09:42.around health and social care which is my brief in the Scottish

:09:43. > :09:44.parliament. We have a clip a patient on opposing the renewal of Trident.

:09:45. > :09:48.Kezia Dugdale when she became lead on opposing the renewal of Trident.

:09:49. > :09:49.was very clear that policy decisions would be made in Scotland by the

:09:50. > :09:55.Scotland Labour Party and that would be made in Scotland by the

:09:56. > :09:59.remains a policy position on Trident. Going back to GPs for a

:10:00. > :10:06.moment, letters not pretend that GP cases do not happen for accident. We

:10:07. > :10:12.have had ?1.6 billion cut out of primary care. I welcome the reversal

:10:13. > :10:21.of the courts. But that isn't too little too late. OK, Philippa? I do

:10:22. > :10:25.not think it is too little too late. There has been a big increasing

:10:26. > :10:31.community investment, but we need investment in GPs. Brexit is to hit

:10:32. > :10:35.health in much wider ways than losing our European health insurance

:10:36. > :10:37.health in much wider ways than card, European medicines agency, and

:10:38. > :10:41.the research we do right across Europe as part of the EU. And these

:10:42. > :10:45.things are really important, it is not just about trade. Thank you both

:10:46. > :10:46.very much for joining us this evening.

:10:47. > :10:49.More from the campaign trail coming up, but first Anne Lundon has

:10:50. > :10:54.A BBC investigation has discovered girls are being repeatedly

:10:55. > :10:56.trafficked to Scotland by Eastern European

:10:57. > :11:01.One Slovakian girl was discovered to have been trafficked

:11:02. > :11:05.Others have been sold to Asian crime gangs and forced

:11:06. > :11:10.And the pursuit of profit has opened up diverse forms of trafficking,

:11:11. > :11:19.as Sam Poling reveals in this exclusive report.

:11:20. > :11:31.What you are watching is an illegal organ deal. How much do you want?

:11:32. > :11:44.45. Euros or sterling? This roaming in is selling the kidney of the one

:11:45. > :11:47.beside him. He says she is his wife. People and now the most lucrative

:11:48. > :11:52.commodity and to drugs, sold with labour force tech shall expectation

:11:53. > :12:00.of our organs. We discovered criminal gangs are now specific --

:12:01. > :12:06.targeting specific areas with women trafficked from abroad. There is a

:12:07. > :12:11.link between European crime gangs with human trafficking being one of

:12:12. > :12:15.the things they do, but links with organisation gangs in Glasgow, so

:12:16. > :12:21.Eastern European crime gangs will provide the victims and Asian crime

:12:22. > :12:25.gangs will provide accommodation. I went to Slovakia to try and track

:12:26. > :12:28.down some of the victims, including one girl who was trafficked twice

:12:29. > :12:36.previously to Glasgow first up when we get to the house, we are in for a

:12:37. > :12:43.shock. Where has she gone? Glasgow. Maybe is she is back to Glasgow. You

:12:44. > :12:45.think your daughter is trafficked back to Glasgow? Other victims

:12:46. > :12:50.appear to have been trafficked a game. We know there are three girls

:12:51. > :12:58.currently missing who are back in the UK in Glasgow? Yes. And inside

:12:59. > :13:02.this house, this girl was sold for a sham marriage. The marriage allows

:13:03. > :13:08.the groom, pop commonly Pakistani or Indian, to allow for citizenship as

:13:09. > :13:14.she is now married to an EU citizen. If IS the questions I really want to

:13:15. > :13:20.ask, the men will get angry? This is a transit house where they are kept

:13:21. > :13:25.before being transported to Glasgow for sham marriages. How many girls

:13:26. > :13:34.will have come here? Five, ten? Hundreds? More than 100. Really? I

:13:35. > :13:37.searched Scotland's marriage records and found numerous suspicious

:13:38. > :13:43.marriages between young Eastern European brides and old Asian men

:13:44. > :13:49.with same addresses used on multiple occasions, and yet little trace of

:13:50. > :13:54.any of the couples living there. The EU's law-enforcement agents said it

:13:55. > :13:56.was being targeted by the trafficking trade. Samantha polling,

:13:57. > :13:59.Reporting Scotland. A lawyer who handled Craig Whyte's

:14:00. > :14:01.takeover of Rangers Football Club has told a court that Mr Whyte

:14:02. > :14:04.was presented as a man Gary Withey also defended

:14:05. > :14:08.the assurances he gave ahead of the deal that Craig Whyte had

:14:09. > :14:12.the funds available to buy the club. He also told the jury that

:14:13. > :14:17.after he met Mr Whyte he began taking instructions from him

:14:18. > :14:20.on the Rangers takeover. Mr Whyte denies fraud in connection

:14:21. > :14:22.with his acquisition A man has been convicted of abusing

:14:23. > :14:28.a girl aged between three The High Court in Glasgow heard

:14:29. > :14:34.videos and still photographs made by 39-year-old Hugh Sim

:14:35. > :14:38.from Renfrew were seen during a police investigation

:14:39. > :14:40.in New Zealand into This established one of the users

:14:41. > :14:46.had logged on from the UK, and it was revealed

:14:47. > :14:48.the subscriber was Sim. The jury found him guilty of five

:14:49. > :14:50.offences and he'll be The Scottish Football Association's

:14:51. > :14:58.former compliance officer has told BBC Scotland a zero tolerance

:14:59. > :15:02.approach to betting within football has to be maintained

:15:03. > :15:05.to prevent match fixing. This comes a day after the SFA took

:15:06. > :15:07.action against a player and a chairman for gambling

:15:08. > :15:12.on football matches, Last night, we told

:15:13. > :15:43.you the Scottish Greens were fielding a limited number

:15:44. > :15:46.of candidates in the election. Today, we found out it's

:15:47. > :15:50.only going to be three. Our political correspondent

:15:51. > :15:54.Nick Earldey reports from Byres Road in the Glasgow North constituency,

:15:55. > :16:04.which is one of the Green's We knew that the Greens were going

:16:05. > :16:10.to stand fewer than ten candidates in Scotland. Today it has been

:16:11. > :16:16.confirmed it will be just three. Voters here in Glasgow North will

:16:17. > :16:20.have a candidate, so too in Edinburgh North and Leith and in

:16:21. > :16:25.Falkirk. Why are they standing in so few seats? One they argue is the

:16:26. > :16:30.system. First past the post makes it less likely that the smaller parties

:16:31. > :16:37.will do well. The other is cash. Because of the size of the deposit

:16:38. > :16:41.and the thought that some local branches of the Greens are

:16:42. > :16:47.cash-starved after local elections. But some smell a rat and thank the

:16:48. > :16:51.Greens are standing aside because they feel that their coalition

:16:52. > :16:59.partners the SNP could face a tight race. There are calls from the

:17:00. > :17:00.Conservatives for them to stand down from the television debate they were

:17:01. > :17:03.going to stand in on the BBC. Now, the results of the council

:17:04. > :17:06.elections last week created a bit of a shift in the local

:17:07. > :17:11.government landscape, Is there a Tory surge

:17:12. > :17:16.after 20 barren years? Can the Lib Dems and Labour improve

:17:17. > :17:23.on their solitary seats? I asked Matt Singh -

:17:24. > :17:25.the founder of Number Cruncher Politics -

:17:26. > :17:36.a bit earlier. I think we need to exercise a good

:17:37. > :17:41.deal of caution. Local elections are different from general elections and

:17:42. > :17:49.they have different candidates and issues. There are quite a lot of

:17:50. > :17:54.caveats in terms of the difference but it gives you a clue as to

:17:55. > :17:59.whether the geographic spread of the voting goes at the moment.

:18:00. > :18:03.What did that show because it seemed to suggest SNP supporter still very

:18:04. > :18:06.strong and central belt but that changed in the different regions of

:18:07. > :18:10.Scotland. Talk is that it what you so.

:18:11. > :18:20.The SNP support in absolute tempters well above its electoral average.

:18:21. > :18:24.But he much unchanged from 2012. In terms of geographic patterns, very

:18:25. > :18:28.strong in the central belt and areas where Labour has traditionally been

:18:29. > :18:31.dominant but there have been significant shifts. In the

:18:32. > :18:37.north-east in particular and others where the Conservatives were strong

:18:38. > :18:44.a few decades ago, there has been a shift there. In council areas like

:18:45. > :18:52.Aberdeenshire, Angus, Moray. There has been a drop away from the SNP

:18:53. > :18:56.and games for conservatives. It seems like the Tory surge came at

:18:57. > :19:01.the cost of the Labour Party when you look at the numbers so in terms

:19:02. > :19:05.of trying to unseat current SNP MPs, that is going to be difficult in

:19:06. > :19:09.terms of the Labour vote is moving toward conservatives rather than

:19:10. > :19:15.coming away from the SNP. It is for that reason and also for

:19:16. > :19:19.the fact that some SNP incumbents have quite big majorities. One

:19:20. > :19:25.interesting aspect of the realignment of Scottish politics

:19:26. > :19:30.around the Constitution is the shift from Labour to conservative and that

:19:31. > :19:37.is putting the Conservatives with good chances in places like Stirling

:19:38. > :19:45.and East Renfrewshire, where there is a much bigger Labour vote. But

:19:46. > :19:51.even north-east areas, some people who voted for SNP but voted no in

:19:52. > :19:55.the Scottish referendum or lead in the EU referendum, some of those

:19:56. > :19:59.voters seem to be coming over to the Conservatives. There is evidence of

:20:00. > :20:04.that even if they didn't change seats in local elections, there were

:20:05. > :20:08.a pretty big swings. With lots of Jade possible, do you

:20:09. > :20:17.think it is likely we will see targeted campaigning for these

:20:18. > :20:21.seats? -- lots of change possible. It is difficult to say. They have

:20:22. > :20:26.big ambitions. We saw Ruth Davidson and a couple of places in the

:20:27. > :20:31.north-east today. They were in Banff and Buchan at one point, which the

:20:32. > :20:37.Conservatives haven't had for some time. They are targeting these seats

:20:38. > :20:39.but whether they will do so or not we will have to wait and see.

:20:40. > :20:41.Well, we've got two politicians in Edinburgh tonight -

:20:42. > :20:44.the Scottish Conservative MEP Ian Duncan and the Scottish Lib Dem

:20:45. > :21:01.I wonder how much of this apparent surge is people abandoning Labour

:21:02. > :21:05.rather than may be embracing the Conservative Party.

:21:06. > :21:11.I think up in somewhere like Perth and North Perthshire agency quickly

:21:12. > :21:19.that the swingers from the SNP to the Conservatives. There is a swing

:21:20. > :21:22.but also a switch and the switch is caused by Brexit, weariness, people

:21:23. > :21:28.who even though they naturally support the nationalist cause cannot

:21:29. > :21:35.win another referendum right now so the move is to the Conservatives.

:21:36. > :21:38.Why are you targeting particular seats?

:21:39. > :21:42.For 20 years we represented the people of Edinburgh West. With

:21:43. > :21:49.Spielberg be served them well. We -- we feel that we serve them well. We

:21:50. > :21:57.narrowly lost the seat and since then there has been moved back the

:21:58. > :22:02.Lib Dems. We won five seats just within Edinburgh West in the Council

:22:03. > :22:09.elections last week so we feel there is a very strong move towards us and

:22:10. > :22:13.a kind of anti-SNP feel to this seat. People see us as the most

:22:14. > :22:18.likely threat to the SNP so we're getting support not just from

:22:19. > :22:21.disillusioned SNP supporters but Labour supporters and some

:22:22. > :22:27.conservative supporters as well. To what extent do you think the Lib

:22:28. > :22:32.Dem votes are becoming localised? There seems to be successful in a

:22:33. > :22:36.few areas, Edinburgh West possibly being one. Is it the party image or
