Welcome to a shorter Election Reporting Scotland tonight - | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
we're making way for Question Time, which is on next, from Edinburgh. | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
Nominations have closed for candidates standing | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
Our political correspondent Nick Eardley is here. | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
Nick, what do the nominations tell us? | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
They close this afternoon. We have the numbers. A a few days before we | :01:11. | :01:19. | |
sift through them. We know tonight that everybody across Scotland on | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
the 8th of June will have the choice of voting for someone from the SNP, | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
Lib Dems, Tory and Labour. They stand in all 50 90s. We have spoken | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
quite a lot about how Weans are outstanding and very few. You could | :01:35. | :01:42. | |
buy standing in eight more. -- Greens is standing in very few. | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
Theresa May will be taking her pitch to Labour's heartland? | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
She will be on Jeremy Corbyn's one. She will argue in the north-east of | :01:50. | :01:58. | |
England that Labour are abandoning working people. It's not the first | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
time she has made a unashamed pitch to Labour voters. She will say | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
tomorrow that you respect them and understands where families have | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
voted Labour the whole lives. She asks them to change their mind. | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
Libraries agrees and say that bills will go up under the Conservatives | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
for the same families. -- labour disagrees and says that bills will | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
go up. The Nationalists say it is disingenuous. | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
Now Graham Stewart has the rest of today's news. | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
A lawyer who handled Craig Whyte's takeover of Rangers in 2011 | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
has told a court that the club's owners were desperate to get | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
Gary Withey's comments came as he gave evidence | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
in the trial of Mr Whyte, who's accused of acquiring | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
Our correspondent David Henderson reports. | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
Gary Withey, the London lawyer at the heart | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
He was back in court today, giving evidence for a second day. | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
Six years ago, his client was a company run by Craig Whyte, | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
which launched a takeover bid for the Ibrox club. | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
Mr Whyte is on trial for fraud and accused of funding | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
most of the deal with the club's season tickets. | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
Rangers was being sold by the Murray Group, | :03:16. | :03:16. | |
controlled by this man, Sir David Murray, and Mr Withey told | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
the jury he came under pressure to get the deal done. | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
One Murray Group director, he said, wanted reassured that this didn't | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
turn into an almighty mess and embarrass everyone. | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
Mr Withey said the sellers didn't ask how Craig Whyte's team | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
They didn't seem to care, he claimed. | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
This is the only deal I know where the vendor, the seller, | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
He said, I have never been pushed so hard on any deal. | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
They were desperate to get the deal over the line. | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
Mr Withey said he was repeatedly asked for assurances that | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
Craig Whyte had the money to buy Rangers. | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
If I didn't trust my client, I would have walked away. | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
But the prosecution claims the deal was mostly funded | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
through the sale of Rangers' season tickets to accompany. | :04:08. | :04:19. | |
-- tickets to a company called Ticketus. | :04:20. | :04:20. | |
The prosecutor asked Gary Withey, were steps taken to conceal it? | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
Gary replied, I was told that Ticketus must not be shown. | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
Mr Withey told the defence advocate it was impossible to keep | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
the involvement of Ticketus a secret when so many people were involved. | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
Mr Findlay asked him, were people coming up to you saying, | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
I hear you are in with Ticketus to do a deal for Rangers? | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
Gary Withey returns to the witness box on Monday. | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
Craig Whyte denies the charges and the trial continues. | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
A former Catholic monk in Australia accused of abusing boys | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
at a boarding school in the Highlands is eligible | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
for extradition to Britain, according to a magistrate in Sydney. | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
The decision whether to send Father Denis Alexander back | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
to Scotland for trial now rests with Australia's attorney general. | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
Father Alexander denies allegations of sexual abuse at the former | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
He's been refused bail and remanded back into custody in the hospital | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
Hopes are rising that there could be a resolution to an industrial | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
Today, lecturers across the country have been holding their fourth | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
one-day strike over pay and conditions. | :05:38. | :05:38. | |
The EIS says progress is being made in talks with the colleges | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
More strike action is still scheduled for next week. | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
Poorer people are more likely to die or become ill | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
Researchers at Glasgow University examined the health records of | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
They say the stress of poverty can lead to a less healthy lifestyle, | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
The reason that poor people experience greater levels of alcohol | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
harm is not because they are drinking more. | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
Actually, it seems that even if someone who is more | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
disadvantaged in society drinks the same amount of alcohol | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
as someone who is richer, they are still at | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
Even accounting for things like binge | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
Now lets take a quick look at how the campaign's been | :06:26. | :06:36. | |
The major offence in Scottish politics and they were First | :06:37. | :06:49. | |
Minister's Questions and the close of nominations for the general | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
election. Confirmation that Greens will only run if he candidates in | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
the election and a point of order was raised in the chamber saying | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
that they should not have a question if they are now a wholly owned | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
subsidiary of the SNP. Ross Gray hit back at this and said that the | :07:09. | :07:17. | |
Tories, Mr Fraser's party, are a owned subsidiary of Ukip. The other | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
Tories, Mr Fraser's party, are a point of interest was the Labour | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
manifesto leaking in entirety. Alex Salmond is familiar follows is an. | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
He treated that Labour have become a magpie party copying key policies | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
the SNP. I don't think Labour would agree that those years have been | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
such a success. Kezia Dugdale wasn't very impressed with the league. She | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
was thinking more about dogs and magpies. She took this self of | :07:47. | :07:56. | |
contenders often. Another party taking ideas from previous campaigns | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
was the Liberal Democrats. They make reference to Ed Miliband's stone. | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
That was at the end of the general election campaign in 2015. Finally, | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
we are used to seeing the Presiding Officer ringing order to unruly | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
proceedings but we saw him don a republic and glasses for Stroke | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
Scotland. I would suggest he keeps the wake for future proceedings in | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
the chamber. Four weeks tonight, | :08:32. | :08:32. | |
the polls will have closed Maybe you can't wait | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
for the prospect, but if electioneering | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
is getting you down... Here's political satirist | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
James Devoy with his top tips JAWS THEME PLAYS. We did this last | :08:40. | :09:01. | |
week, there can be another election. Fine, let's do it. -- there can't be | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
another election. Yes, we are having another general election. Here are | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
my top tips for surviving. I protection. Seeing so many | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
miserable politicians grinning as enough to give anybody eyestrain. | :09:24. | :09:37. | |
Neck support. No matter what side of the argument you're on, you will | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
either be nodding or shaking your head. Constantly until the next | :09:43. | :09:50. | |
general election. Bend at the waist. Look stupid, keep | :09:51. | :10:02. | |
your neck twisted. Don't bend at the waist for your shaking. Just shake | :10:03. | :10:10. | |
the head for that one. Keep calm. Listen to someone else | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
on, do some yoga or some other hippy nonsense. Before turning on your TV | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
and throwing it straight out the window. | :10:22. | :10:30. | |
Stay hydrated. Remember fruits and vegetables. This is a good trip | :10:31. | :10:41. | |
because I care about your health. Yup, stay hydrated. | :10:42. | :10:50. | |
And the number one top tip for surviving this snap general election | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
is just be nice to everybody. It's not hard. Just a bit of basic | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
civility. Yes, Twitter will say things that you don't agree with but | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
keep your cool. Depending who brings obviously! -- depending who wins | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
obviously! Just before we go our | :11:15. | :11:15. | |
