:02:09. > :02:11.83,000 people in receipt of disability living allowance. She
:02:12. > :02:18.would like the Scottish Government to take a different approach. It is
:02:19. > :02:23.a very demeaning process. All disabilities are not the same. Even
:02:24. > :02:27.visual impairment is not the same. If you have arthritis Sundays during
:02:28. > :02:33.able to do things, other days not and all of these things have to

:02:39. > :02:43.over 11 benefits including the disability living allowance,
:02:44. > :02:47.Personal Independence Payments, the spare room subsidy and Carer's
:02:48. > :02:52.Allowance. These will have a direct impact on people living here in
:02:53. > :02:54.Scotland. I would love to hear politicians talking about and
:02:55. > :02:59.enabling, progressive welfare system that supports people with a
:03:00. > :03:03.disability to integrate and live independently in society. That is
:03:04. > :03:06.very different to the narrative we hear from UK politicians and I think
:03:07. > :03:11.that is the sort of conversations that disabled people in Scotland
:03:12. > :03:14.want to hear. Not only will the next Scottish Government be taking over
:03:15. > :03:19.existing benefits, they will be able to top these up and create new ones.
:03:20. > :03:28.But they will have to find money to pay for these. We left Aviemore and
:03:29. > :03:35.headed to the stand to meet Morag. She is a a leading disability
:03:36. > :03:39.campaigner. For the next Scottish Government, what would you like them
:03:40. > :03:43.to do? I would like them to listen and I think a disabled person should
:03:44. > :03:48.be on any committee they have with these decisions are being made. The
:03:49. > :03:51.Scottish Government itself a number of years ago said there is no
:03:52. > :03:55.substitute for the real-world knowledge of the service user. I
:03:56. > :04:00.wish they would take that on board and have disabled people in the
:04:01. > :04:05.earliest stages of decision-making so that they can have input and
:04:06. > :04:14.influence. They should make what they're more acceptable. Evan has

:04:31. > :04:31.from a future Scottish Government with his long-term Scottish
:04:32. > :04:38.disability isn't being continually assessed. I don't suppose you made a
:04:39. > :04:42.screen to change quickly. At no point is going to improve it is grim
:04:43. > :04:46.to be a lifetime thing, so once they have realised that, they should not
:04:47. > :04:53.have took the test it. -- it is going. There are expectations that
:04:54. > :04:58.the Scottish Government will fall back some of the controversial
:04:59. > :05:02.welfare changes but one expert says there may be little room to do so.
:05:03. > :05:05.They will have a limited sum of money and it will have two manage
:05:06. > :05:11.that money anyway they have never done before. The way that it works
:05:12. > :05:14.for the most part for the Scottish Government is that they get a
:05:15. > :05:21.certain sum of money, divided according to what they want to send
:05:22. > :05:25.it on -- spend. Benefits aren't like that, they are driven by the numbers
:05:26. > :05:30.of people in need. The second problem is that you can't make
:05:31. > :05:34.anybody better off without making somebody else worse off somewhere
:05:35. > :05:45.else unless you're to spend more money and often a lot more money.
:05:46. > :05:49.Disabled people like Joy saved when the Scottish Government get control
:05:50. > :05:52.of welfare benefits, they would like them to stop continually reassessing
:05:53. > :05:58.them, particularly when they have lifelong conditions and instead take
:05:59. > :06:02.account of their geography and a variable nature of the disability.
:06:03. > :06:07.The question is, in five years' time, could the welfare's systems
:06:08. > :06:12.north and south of the border be different east 's? -- beasts.
:06:13. > :06:16.Joining me now to talk about all that here in the studio
:06:17. > :06:20.In Edinburgh for Scottish Labour is Ian Murray,
:06:21. > :06:21.and from the Liberal Democrats, Alex Cole-Hamilton.
:06:22. > :06:24.We asked the Scottish Conservatives to take part, but they told us
:06:25. > :06:36.Humza Yousaf, if the S is re-elected, will be see a very
:06:37. > :06:45.different welfare system to England in five years' time? -- SNP. It will
:06:46. > :06:49.be different. We don't have all the welfare powers the SNP would like to
:06:50. > :06:52.have but there will be fundamental differences, one of the most
:06:53. > :06:55.important what is a new Social Security agency to take a new
:06:56. > :07:01.approach. It would be the language of scroungers and spongers, it will
:07:02. > :07:06.be dignity and respect, but when it comes to practicalities, we will
:07:07. > :07:12.abolish the bed and tax when we can, the 84 day rule so that disabled or
:07:13. > :07:18.ill children will not have their carer allowance taken off them. We
:07:19. > :07:23.will not cut disability allowance and there a lot of other things we
:07:24. > :07:27.have set out in our manifesto and a fundamental is about dignity and
:07:28. > :07:30.respect. I'm not surprised nor Conservative has turned up, they're
:07:31. > :07:34.probably hiding from disastrous decisions that they have made have
:07:35. > :07:38.really affected people were your studio is in the heart of Govan. I'm
:07:39. > :07:46.not surprised they have chosen not to turn up. Ian Murray, what would
:07:47. > :07:50.Scottish Labour do that is radically different from now? Someone in your
:07:51. > :07:53.package said we should involve disabled people and I think that is
:07:54. > :07:57.the best way of going forward to design a new system when these
:07:58. > :08:01.powers are transferred but it's not just the 11 powers that are actually
:08:02. > :08:04.on the face of the bill, but we were successful in getting amendments
:08:05. > :08:08.adopted by the Government that allows the adoption of a new benefit
:08:09. > :08:12.in a devolved area and to top up reserve benefits. For example, we
:08:13. > :08:15.will make sure that Carer's Allowance is paid at the level of
:08:16. > :08:19.jobseeker's allowance and that the Scottish welfare fund will allow
:08:20. > :08:23.payment in cash and kind and as Humza Yousaf had said we will make
:08:24. > :08:26.sure the bedroom tax is no longer in place in Scotland. Their animal host
:08:27. > :08:31.of things that can be done and this gives us a real opportunity for that
:08:32. > :08:33.change and I think one of the most important aspect of this whole
:08:34. > :08:38.debate is getting away from the rhetoric that the Conservatives have
:08:39. > :08:41.been using. We have fallen into the ability of talking about welfare
:08:42. > :08:46.when we should be talking about Social Security, so a new engagement
:08:47. > :08:51.with disabled people, he knew of Ettrick and compassion that we want
:08:52. > :08:57.for ourselves and families -- rhetoric. We also need to make sure
:08:58. > :09:01.that assessment is that are done with disability living allowance are
:09:02. > :09:06.done with compassion because someone who is blind is not going to get any
:09:07. > :09:11.less blind and deaf or when their assessment is done they should be on
:09:12. > :09:15.that benefit for the remainder of their lives unless they can
:09:16. > :09:19.miraculously reading their site but alongside that kind of example is
:09:20. > :09:22.ensuring that people who want to go into work, and the vast majority of
:09:23. > :09:27.disabled people as they can work, they desperately want to work, the
:09:28. > :09:30.new powers allow us to design a new work system that would support them
:09:31. > :09:35.back into the workplace and employment. Alex Cole-Hamilton, we
:09:36. > :09:41.had complaints in the film about the lack of employment opportunities,
:09:42. > :09:44.particularly in rural areas. Disabled people and already more
:09:45. > :09:48.than twice as likely to be unemployed as able-bodied people. Is
:09:49. > :09:53.there anything the Liberal Democrats would do to address that? I think
:09:54. > :10:00.the scale of that problem is horrific. A local authority plan to
:10:01. > :10:04.get 200 young people with disabilities back into employment
:10:05. > :10:10.and had only succeeded in 11 the following year. There are range of
:10:11. > :10:13.inhibitions in that. I later, these programmes and complain about SNP
:10:14. > :10:17.policy but there is broad consensus across the parties represented on
:10:18. > :10:24.this programme tonight about what the package of new powers to be used
:10:25. > :10:26.for -- could be used for and I think we need to increase the Carer's
:10:27. > :10:32.Allowance to the level of jobseeker's allowance. Due to go
:10:33. > :10:36.further than that. It is not just about welfare powers, it is about
:10:37. > :10:42.the existing powers we have now. We passed an act of Parliament in the
:10:43. > :10:45.last session, the self-directed support act which is about
:10:46. > :10:48.disability empowerment so that people with disabilities can direct
:10:49. > :10:52.out that budget is spent. That is working well in some places but
:10:53. > :10:55.there isn't just the service provision necessary to make that
:10:56. > :11:01.dream a reality. We need to do more to address that. The broad consensus
:11:02. > :11:05.across the parties on how we should use the welfare powers. Broad
:11:06. > :11:11.consensus but you had the professor in that package saying you can't
:11:12. > :11:13.make anyone better off without making someone worse off, so Humza
:11:14. > :11:19.Yousaf, if you improve disability benefits, who will be worse off? I
:11:20. > :11:25.suppose in one respect, the highest earners in Scotland will be paying
:11:26. > :11:29.more than those south of the border. We will make sure that the tax cut
:11:30. > :11:33.that Tories are giving to highest earners will not be happening in
:11:34. > :11:42.Scotland so those entering the most will not -- will be paying. You made
:11:43. > :11:48.a lot of other financial promises. Sure but our manifesto is fully
:11:49. > :11:54.costed. Secondly, we be balancing the books for nine years with John
:11:55. > :11:59.Swinney every year. I certainly got faith in a finance minister lay John
:12:00. > :12:02.Swinney but these are difficult decisions to make. I would like to
:12:03. > :12:06.do it with a full set of financial levers to be able to do that. It
:12:07. > :12:09.will be challenging but I have no doubt that the changes to be made
:12:10. > :12:15.will not only improve disabled people's lives but we managed in the
:12:16. > :12:18.budget. Ian Murray, there are difficult decisions ahead for
:12:19. > :12:23.Holyrood. Would you actually be able, with the tax increases your
:12:24. > :12:29.suggesting, to fund promises to disabled people? Humza Yousaf said
:12:30. > :12:33.he wanted to use the power of taxation to raise more money but is
:12:34. > :12:39.refusing to use them, particularly the introduction of the 50p tax rate
:12:40. > :12:42.for those earning ?150,000 per year. What is critical when it comes to
:12:43. > :12:45.disability benefits and the most vulnerable in society who need all
:12:46. > :12:52.support the social cutesy system that they rely on public services --
:12:53. > :12:56.Social Security, and if we go down the road of not using the powers,
:12:57. > :12:59.we're just going into another five years of cuts. If we continue to cut
:13:00. > :13:03.public services and not invest in the future, it is the vulnerable and
:13:04. > :13:09.disabled in rural areas that will lose out the most. If we continue to
:13:10. > :13:13.cut college education, which is a vital way for disabled people to get
:13:14. > :13:17.back into the workplace, you can't do that on the cheap and the SNP are
:13:18. > :13:22.offering no additional resources to be able to do that. Alex
:13:23. > :13:25.Cole-Hamilton, how would a Liberal Democrats pay for their pledges you
:13:26. > :13:30.are making to replace the work programme and double the help for
:13:31. > :13:35.people with mental health problems? Will an extra penny in taxpayer for
:13:36. > :13:40.that? The penny earned taxes for education. We would significantly
:13:41. > :13:46.read profile the health budget. I would like to address a fundamental
:13:47. > :13:51.mistake. There is a suggestion that money given to people with
:13:52. > :13:55.disabilities is just dead money. It's not. It's an investment in
:13:56. > :13:58.helping them to realise their potential and get them economic
:13:59. > :14:02.reactive so it is not just a money pit, it is something that will make
:14:03. > :14:07.them more active participants in community and economic producers.
:14:08. > :14:09.Scientists at Glasgow University have established a world first
:14:10. > :14:13.by cracking the communication code of our brains.
:14:14. > :14:15.The pioneers in the world of cognitive neuroimaging have
:14:16. > :14:18.examined how brains process what we see.
:14:19. > :14:22.And as our science correspondent Kenneth Macdonald reports,
:14:23. > :14:25.they've done it with more than a little help from Voltaire -
:14:26. > :14:46.If you are and how Salvador Dali's mind work is a matter of conjecture.
:14:47. > :14:53.This helps a lot how our minds work, or how our brains see. Our main
:14:54. > :14:58.interest was studying how the brain works as an information-processing
:14:59. > :15:00.machine. It is quite difficult to do because we observe brain signals but
:15:01. > :15:09.it is difficult to know what they do. Do the get information from the
:15:10. > :15:16.visual world, do they not? If so, how? To be sent information from one
:15:17. > :15:21.region to the brain, if so, how? Misses were Salvador Dali comes in
:15:22. > :15:33.and 40. In 1940 Dali painted slave market. That is Voltaire, or is it?
:15:34. > :15:38.You can see here to faces. The colour of the dress and the dress.
:15:39. > :15:42.If you default is a bit and step away from the image or take off your
:15:43. > :15:49.glasses, you will see the bust of Voltaire with the two faces of the
:15:50. > :15:55.nuns become to eyes. Techniques like these have made it possible to open
:15:56. > :16:02.our heads to cognitive neuroimaging. We can find early on amongst the
:16:03. > :16:06.early seconds of processing that the brain processes very specific
:16:07. > :16:12.features, such as the left eye or the right eye, a corner of the nose
:16:13. > :16:19.or mouth. With this at about 200 million seconds, we also find the
:16:20. > :16:23.brain transfers features across the two hemispheres in order to
:16:24. > :16:28.construct a fool representation. It has taken 15 years and funding from
:16:29. > :16:32.the Wellcome trust for the Glasgow research to be able to track the
:16:33. > :16:39.brain 's processes, measured in 1000th of a second. We asked people,
:16:40. > :16:44.what do you see here? Do you see Voltaire? Or do you see the nuns? Or
:16:45. > :16:51.do you not know what you are seeing? After many such trials, with
:16:52. > :16:55.mathematical techniques, we can reveal what features the brain is
:16:56. > :16:59.using for each perception. For the nuns, it would be primarily the two
:17:00. > :17:07.heads and for a volunteer, which are seeing right here, which is a more
:17:08. > :17:12.global view of this face. It makes Glasgow University and kind of

:18:07. > :18:11.how the information is processed in the brain, not only will inform

:18:26. > :18:29.information-processing, some information pathways being
:18:30. > :18:39.disrupted, by strokes for example. So far, researchers have cracked the
:18:40. > :18:43.code but how do our brains decide that is Voltaire or two nuns? More
:18:44. > :18:49.research is needed before we can answer that one. Indeed, some people
:18:50. > :18:53.think one of the nuns is a beard. Maybe the two Dutch merchants.
:18:54. > :18:54.Whatever you think, it's your decision. Science is getting closer
:18:55. > :18:57.to working out how you made it. Fascinating stuff there

:19:01. > :19:02.Bletchley Park of the Brain. Now, in a fortnight's time
:19:03. > :19:05.the polls will have closed And while one party leader may be
:19:06. > :19:11.getting the royal treatment, we'll have to wait till then
:19:12. > :19:29.to see who reigns supreme. The SNP launched their manifesto
:19:30. > :19:33.yesterday. Make no mistake, unlikely manifestos of other parties, this
:19:34. > :19:41.manifesto is the programme for Government. And, to be honest, it
:19:42. > :19:46.looks as though despite the obvious candidate waiting in the wings to
:19:47. > :19:53.replace higher and the people who think her regime has too much power
:19:54. > :20:04.in the land, she will continue to reign over us at least for the next
:20:05. > :20:10.few years. Yes, in case you missed any of the coverage, today is the
:20:11. > :20:14.Queen's 90th birthday. Celebrated with patriotic fervour across the
:20:15. > :20:23.country. Although, not everyone joined in. Apart from that, what
:20:24. > :20:30.else has been setting the heather alight this week in the Holyrood
:20:31. > :20:35.campaign? To be honest, not much. Shall I put the soil in? There has
:20:36. > :20:40.been a succession of photo opportunities. Some more bizarre
:20:41. > :20:44.than others. Ruth Davidson has been making mud pies and promising that
:20:45. > :20:48.ending the council tax freeze would allow local authorities to spend
:20:49. > :20:53.more on schools. I am not sliding down it, I can guarantee. For the
:20:54. > :20:58.Lib Dems, Willie Rennie was blinded by the light. He is calling for the
:20:59. > :21:03.immediate publication of a national survey of skills attainment in
:21:04. > :21:11.Scotland. And Patrick Harvie of the Greens has been out enjoying the
:21:12. > :21:19.sunshine. Ukip brushed off more claims two claims that the party is
:21:20. > :21:24.dysfunctional. And Labour's Kezia Dugdale played nicely. Before
:21:25. > :21:31.challenging the SNP to match her pledge to protect education budgets
:21:32. > :21:35.from cuts. Meanwhile, back at the SNP manifesto launch, there was a
:21:36. > :21:39.commitment to baby boxes for appearance of all newborns. A
:21:40. > :21:45.promise to close the attainment gap in education, a pledge to use tax
:21:46. > :21:50.and social security powers to lift people out of poverty, and ambitious
:21:51. > :21:57.targets to tackle climate change. That is all the party manifestos
:21:58. > :22:02.published them. Apart from labours. That is not out until Wednesday of
:22:03. > :22:02.next week. We go to the polls a week today.
:22:03. > :22:08.Here now to talk about that and some of the day's other news
:22:09. > :22:09.is the journalist Cal Flyn and businessman
:22:10. > :22:23.Kevin, it would be fair to say you are no fan of the SNP. Do you think
:22:24. > :22:27.this manifesto is a programme for Government, as Nicola Sturgeon says?
:22:28. > :22:33.A programme for Government... It's a triumph, is what it is. A triumph of
:22:34. > :22:38.form over function. It is glossy and big but timid. Maybe that meditate
:22:39. > :22:43.is because it is a programme for Government but what it is in effect
:22:44. > :22:46.is a programme of in action. Isn't it more realistic than the other
:22:47. > :22:51.parties? They would never have to input lament the policies of the
:22:52. > :22:57.polls are to be believed. I think the idea of raising ?1 billion of
:22:58. > :23:01.tax in the Scottish economy would be unrealistic as narrow thinking,
:23:02. > :23:07.particularly if you look at the SNP RE party who have talked about
:23:08. > :23:15.social justice and the mentioned austerity once. The mentioned social
:23:16. > :23:18.justice zero times. The party that says they want to offer an
:23:19. > :23:23.alternative to Tory austerity and yet do almost nothing on tax, that
:23:24. > :23:31.is in action, I think. That is timid. Cal Flyn do you think that
:23:32. > :23:35.that have worked out where the centre of that goal opinion truly
:23:36. > :23:40.is? Is that what we are seeing in this manifesto? Yes, I think when we
:23:41. > :23:46.look at the policies that come from all across the spectrum. We have a
:23:47. > :23:50.Scandinavian style with the baby boxes and on the other style we have
:23:51. > :23:55.the money going directly into the hands of head teachers. This is like
:23:56. > :24:00.the Academy programme down south. Saying that, what you see here is
:24:01. > :24:04.you look for total domination. They are not looking for the traditional
:24:05. > :24:09.left footers, they are looking for the centre as well. It is rich with
:24:10. > :24:13.the unionist parties to be looking at the SNP and criticising them for
:24:14. > :24:18.not using tax powers that we only have because of the yes movement and
:24:19. > :24:25.the SNP. We have those tax powers, fought for them and do not use them.
:24:26. > :24:28.That is weird. We are going into an election and... They have powers but
:24:29. > :24:33.they do not want to use them. I think they do not want to not use
:24:34. > :24:38.them but it would be a bad time to bring it up. Anybody else having a
:24:39. > :24:42.good campaign this week? I think Willie Rennie had a stroke of genius
:24:43. > :24:48.with an amusing photo call. I think a lot of people have been talking
:24:49. > :24:52.about. It is taking the same line that has brought Ruth Davidson into
:24:53. > :24:57.the spotlight. Somebody who's not afraid to laugh at themselves. It
:24:58. > :25:01.can backfire terribly but it is nice to see a sense of fun in the
:25:02. > :25:06.Scottish politics at the moment. Let's move on, you might have
:25:07. > :25:11.noticed it is the Queen's 90th birthday today. Lots going on to
:25:12. > :25:16.mark the day. Do you think, Kevin, Scots care as much as the rest of
:25:17. > :25:21.the UK about the monarchy? Whether it's as much as the rest of the
:25:22. > :25:25.UK... They clearly do, you just have to look at the referendum and the
:25:26. > :25:32.yes campaign argued for the Queen to remain as monarch. So, that is
:25:33. > :25:37.really an affection for the Royal family. Whether there is an
:25:38. > :25:43.affection for the hereditary village, which some of us struggle
:25:44. > :25:49.with, is another question. -- privilege. We might be against the
:25:50. > :25:53.principle but the Queen seems like a good egg. We saw Prince William
:25:54. > :25:57.talking yesterday about how the Royal family as to modernise and
:25:58. > :26:03.stay relevant. That's it challenge for him. Can they do that? I do not
:26:04. > :26:10.know if they monarchy can be modern. The print seems to be at a loss as
:26:11. > :26:15.to whether that is possible. -- the Prince. Nobody is willing to take on
:26:16. > :26:20.this huge constitutional question. Maybe after Queen Elizabeth that is
:26:21. > :26:25.a time when that question is going to arise. Barack Obama flew into
:26:26. > :26:28.London this evening and he is going to make an appeal for the unity
:26:29. > :26:34.kingdom to remain within the European Union. How is that going to
:26:35. > :26:41.go down, do you think? Obviously the outcome pain will hate it but it
:26:42. > :26:45.will be interesting to see how many did not scream foul when he
:26:46. > :26:51.expressed an opinion on the Scottish referendum. How did that go down? Is
:26:52. > :26:56.that helpful when somebody like home intervenes on domestic issues? On
:26:57. > :27:02.the UK level, it is. He still has star dust about him. The sheen might
:27:03. > :27:06.have come off in his own country but he is respected worldwide. It would
:27:07. > :27:12.help the campaign with somebody of his credibility express an opinion,
:27:13. > :27:15.which he is entitled to. We saw eight former Treasury Secretary is
:27:16. > :27:22.writing from America. We have many voices from across Europe as well.
:27:23. > :27:25.If it is not Obama alone then require people from overseas telling
:27:26. > :27:32.us the same message, perhaps that will have a good effect. It is
:27:33. > :27:37.hypocritical, Boris Johnson says, for a US president. Why should she
:27:38. > :27:44.be advocating the UK sovereignty... Has it got point? No, I do not think
:27:45. > :27:47.he does. If you are watching a friend doing something you think is
:27:48. > :27:53.stupid, you should tell them. Maybe that, really he is watching someone
:27:54. > :27:59.with whom he has a special relationship with a decision which
:28:00. > :28:03.is a bad idea. Is this about Britain or self interest? I think self
:28:04. > :28:08.interest. This is a bridge from America to Europe. If the UK is up
:28:09. > :28:12.there, the do not have the same influence in Europe. If the UK is
:28:13. > :28:17.outside Europe, it could have a domino effect. Sweden could be next.
:28:18. > :28:18.I think itself interest. Thank you both very much.
:28:19. > :28:20.That's it for tonight and for this week.
:28:21. > :28:23.With news of the untimely death of one of the world's most
:28:24. > :28:25.influential musicians, Prince, we'd like to leave you with one
:28:26. > :28:29.of his tracks that I know means a lot to me, and I'm sure
:28:30. > :28:50.# I only wanted to you laughing in the purple rain.
:28:51. > :29:03.Make the most of the BBC News app.
:29:04. > :29:06.Personalise it by selecting "edit menus"
:29:07. > :29:09.and get the news that matters to you.
