absolutely clear that the scottish government remains committed to supporting and empowering the lgbtqi plus community, including trans people. we will continue to build on our work across government to strengthen this. we work closely with the lgbtqi plus stakeholder group to ensure the voices of those with the experience helps improve outcomes for these communities. we are also delivering the non—binary equality action plan to improve conditions for non—brenktey community in scotland and the plan includes actions on their way, such as meaningfully including non—binary people in decision—making. are committed to consulting on an into conversion practices for both sexual orientation and gender identity detailed proposals for legislative change will be published in the new year for the conversion practices which aim to change or suppress a person's sexual orientation or gender identity are destructive acts which violate human rights. we

remain committed to our work with nhs scotland to improve access to delivery of gender identity health care and we work closely with people with experience, organisations representing trans people and nature scotland to prevent the actions of the 21 strategic action promo. we have established a national gender identity care reference book and established a range of work, including the reporter waiting times, a transgender health care, knowledge and skills framework of training opportunities for nhs staff, a programme of research on long—term health outcomes for people who access gender identity health care and the developers of national standards for accessibility and delivery of gender identity health care. this work is well under way. we also delivering the recommendations of the lgbtqi inclusive education group, which has, in partnership with co set —— cosla, which has engage with young

people to seek their views and experience and are delivering improved learning environments for all children and young people. before the end of the apology yet, we will bring forward a new human rights bill for scotland let me turn to the gender recognition reform bill specifically to the reforms remain the policy of the government and, as we can see from the cross—party support for the bill, they remain what this parliament would like to see enacted, but the uk government intervention means the bill cannot proceed to royal assent and it remains a bill passed by the majority of this parliament and we will not be withdrawing it. there is a strong indication that any approach would be unacceptable to the uk couldn't, as alisterjack stated in westminster, two different regimes create adverse effects, it's therefore impossible to see how progress can be made, particularly when the rules of this parliament require that amendments made at consideration stage are consistent with the general principles as

agreed at stage one. nonetheless, our offer is still there, if the current uk government is willing to work together on this, we will happily sit down with them. if a future uk government are willing, we will do so with them so that section 35 can be lifted and the build progresses. it seems clear that the current government will not do this and it remains to be seen if a future government will do. parliamentary discussion of this shows that the section 3a power was always suggested as a long stop last resort, at which a spectacle and seek to raise issues to tip that is in black and white both in devolution debate in westminster parliament in 1998 and the memorandum of understanding between governments. but that is not how the secretary of state for scotland used the power. it is the scottish government view that this uk government view that this uk government and the secretary of state see section 35 has a veto can

apply to any legislation passed by this chamber that they disagree with, to ignore the memorandum of understanding sets a very worrying precedent for democratic powers of this parliament. regardless of peoples views and opinions on gender recognition, that is a very worrying place for our parliament to be. due to the intransigence of the current uk government, i am confident any repetition of our offer to six compromise would again be rebuffed. we will therefore focus on working with an income uk government which we hope will have more respect for devolution and is willing to work together, even when it sometimes we disagree. i recognise that many trans people will be disappointed by this decision. to them, i say this. the scottish government will never waver in our commitment to your rights. you deserve to be respected, included and supported. you are not a threat and you will always be able to live your lives free from prejudice and abuse in the type of

scotland we all want to see. we will continue to work towards a society thatis continue to work towards a society that is equal and fair and where people can live as they are, just as we will continue to protect the democratic powers of this, scotland's parliament. applause the cabinet secretary for social justice talk about why the scottish government is not going to appeal a court ruling which upheld the uk government block on promote into reforms. they would have made it easier for people to change gender from the age of 16 but the uk government ruled it could have had an adverse impact on equalities legislation across the uk we believe that they're in hollywood for that moment we are going back to manchester crown court for more on the news that a boy and a girl, both aged 16, have been made guilty of the murder of teenager brianna ghey in a park near warrington stop our correspondent is outside manchester crown court. a really disturbing

court case, this. took us through some of what has been heard. when you look at what this was, two 15—year—old children lowering a 16—year—old into a park, breanna thought she was going to beat one friend at the bus stop when she travelled from her home she got off to find two people to dip she didn't think anything more of it. she wasn't suspicious. she went with them willingly for the afternoon. it was a peppery afternoon at a weekend. she went through a walk through a park with them and was brutally murdered stabbed 28 times with a hunting knife, and absolutely horrific crime. in the next few minutes, find me we will see some of the camera crews and reporters, we are going to be hearing from the police officer involved in the case, but also from brianna's mother and

keith spooner, brianna's father, and they will be giving some reaction to what has happened in court today for the the jury was out for four hours and a0 minutes. it's been a three week long trial in which both defendants x and y, as they are known, because they are not allowed to be named because of their age, they both give evidence in the case. they basically blamed each other. they basically blamed each other. they both admitted they were there. they both admitted they were there. they both admitted they were there. they both admitted they had been having what they described as a fantasy. they said they had been sending messages talking about the desire to kill someone, purely as some type of twisted fantasy, but they would through with it all. that has been the really disturbing part of this case, that this was two children who had access to the dark web on the internet, where they watched torture videos, where they talked about serial killers and how

they felt about serial killers, and they felt about serial killers, and they carried through with those actions. that is perhaps the most disturbing and appalling part of this crime what perhaps started out as some type of sick and twisted fantasy became real life. tote as some type of sick and twisted fantasy became real life. we have had a resnonse — fantasy became real life. we have had a response from _ fantasy became real life. we have had a response from the - fantasy became real life. we have had a response from the crown i had a response from the crown prosecution service as well? gees. prosecution service as well? yes, the ave prosecution service as well? yes, they gave a _ prosecution service as well? yes, they gave a statement _ prosecution service as well? yes, they gave a statement a - prosecution service as well? ,~ they gave a statement a short time ago. i will summarise it they said, this has been one of the most distressing cases the cps has had to deal with. the planning, the violence at the age of the killers is beyond belief, it says. brianna ghey was subjected to a frenzied and ferocious attack, stabbed 28 times in a public park both the girl and boy appear to have been a deadly influence on each other, it says, and turned what may have started out as a dog fantasy about murder into a reality. it goes on, the pages of whatsapp messages between the two,

planning and plotting to kill people, talking of murder, torture and cruelty, were very difficult to read. the messages provided a terrifying insert, it says, into the minds of the two defendants. , it also provided us, cps, with the detailed planning of the attack and then the attempts to cover it up. what they are talking about is that messages were planned, they talked about the planning of the whole attack and then, after the attack, they carried on texting one another and sending messages to one another that was still found on their phones. they haven't tried to delete them for the day talked about what had happened in the aftermath, what happened when they got home and how they were going to go on. the girl even sent text messages to brianna, pretending she was alive, even though she knew she was dead, trying to push off blame and deflect the blame from her on to anybody else at all. thejury blame from her on to anybody else at all. the jury heard all this and

threw it out. they weren't taking any of this seriously four hours a0 minutes, not a long time for the jury minutes, not a long time for the jury deliberated on a three week long trial before they came back today, here at manchester crown court, and found both defendants, girl x and boy why, now 16, court, and found both defendants, girlx and boy why, now16, who court, and found both defendants, girl x and boy why, now 16, who were 15 years old when they carried this out, both have been convicted and they will be sentenced probably in they will be sentenced probably in the new year. find they will be sentenced probably in the new year.— they will be sentenced probably in the new year. �* , the new year. and the 'udge said she would have to _ the new year. and the 'udge said she would have to impose — the new year. and the judge said she would have to impose a _ the new year. and the judge said she would have to impose a life _ the new year. and the judge said she would have to impose a life sentence | would have to impose a life sentence but she wanted to go away for some consultation in terms what the minimum amount of time they would serve would be.— serve would be. yes, what will ha en serve would be. yes, what will happen at _ serve would be. yes, what will happen at this _ serve would be. yes, what will happen at this stage _ serve would be. yes, what will happen at this stage is - serve would be. yes, what will happen at this stage is there l serve would be. yes, what will. happen at this stage is there will be reports taking place into both of their states of health, their mental health and how young they are and their defence teams will try to bring that up. not as mitigation perhaps but as explanation but there

is only one sentence that can be put down for murder, and that is life. it isjust a down for murder, and that is life. it is just a question of how many years philip the horrific nature of this crime, the fact that they were children, the fact that they planned this and carried it out. there is some very disturbing information that came to court, after the case, after the murder happened, the police searched 2a hours later inside girl x's bedroom and found a handwritten note with emojis on the note, and i can redo some of that. it is quite disturbing, and if you have young children perhaps turn it down for a moment. these were the murder planned for what happened. meet x at the wooden post at 1pm, walked to the library, wait until brianna gets off the bus then the three of us walked a linear park, and that's what happened. go to the

senior doctors drafted in to provide emergency cover. this latest walk—out will be followed by a six—day strike injanuary, the longest in nhs history. it comes after talks between the british medical association and government broke down earlier this month. 0ur health correspondent sharon barbour reports. across england, tens of thousands ofjunior doctors stopped work at 7:00 this morning and walked out of hospitals in a dispute with the government over pay, their strike ending on saturday morning. we don't feel valued. we're getting tired. we're getting burned out. and people are looking at other options realistically for what they can do. you know, they want to help people, but how long can they look after themselves in these conditions? but it's action that health bosses were dreading, coming at the worst time of the year with hospitals already struggling. the doctors, though, say pressures on them are growing and they say their pay hasn't kept up with inflation. dr greenhaus is

a surgical registrar. he's already qualified to undertake major knee and hip surgery. we're not asking for a huge pay rise. what we're asking for is our pay to stop being caught and to reverse the pay cuts we've already suffered. i want us to reach fair and reasonable settlements, and i've managed to do that with consultants and with specialist doctors. i want to do the same with junior doctors, but them calling a strike and walking out of negotiations is not the way to secure that. the strike action will mean the cancellation of thousands of appointments and operations. sally said she was in excruciating pain and had two appointments for an operation cancelled because of strike action, unable to take it any more, she's now paid more than £13,000 to get her hip operation done privately. it was a big decision because obviously i'd been saving the money to leave to my kids

or to have a nice holiday. but it's my health rather than this poor soul who's wandering around screaming in pain. what do you say to people who are having their operations, their appointments cancelled or postponed as a result of the strike action? of course, i'm sorry to anyone who has had their operation or appointment postponed, but unfortunately the government are not bringing us a credible offer that we can put to members to end this. with consultants covering for theirjuniors and surgical teams diverted to help on the front line, emergency care will continue, but hospitals are warning of long waits in a&e. we're entering into unchartered territory and the level of risk and uncertainty we in the nhs confederation come together with patients organisations to call on the government to try to resolve this dispute that we have or for both sides that is to suspend this action.

the government says talks can continue if the junior doctors call off their strikes. sharon barbour, bbc news. the volcanic eruption in iceland is becoming less active. iceland volcano, still active this morning. overnight, glowing rivers of lava continued to flow. the eruption may now have peaked but mother nature isn't done wreaking havocjust mother nature isn't done wreaking havoc just yet. mother nature isn't done wreaking havocjust yet. in daylight, this was the scene, and the fear now that fumes from the volcano are quickly

making their way towards the capital, reykjavik, just 2a miles away. this is as close as we could get to the volcano before the authorities stopped us. overnight more lava has continued to flow and this is something that is difficult to predict, which is why authorities are warning people to stay away from this area for their safety. inside the exclusion zone, to recite so close, including the blue lagoon spark but the volcano itself has become an attraction for visitors from around the world. terrifying and beautiful _ from around the world. terrifying and beautiful at _ from around the world. terrifying and beautiful at the _ from around the world. terrifying and beautiful at the same - from around the world. terrifying and beautiful at the same time. i from around the world. terrifying i and beautiful at the same time. its mother nature itself. you feel so tiny. _ mother nature itself. you feel so tiny. like — mother nature itself. you feel so tiny, like you can't do anything in front— tiny, like you can't do anything in front of— tiny, like you can't do anything in front of this — tiny, like you can't do anything in front of this nature.—

eggs, that you can detect quite easily but it can cause acid rain, irritation in the eyes, in strong enough concentration, and respiratory issues for anybody that might suffer from asthma or be susceptible to breathing conditions. we are looking at that long line, a few kilometres long, which is where the lava is coming out in fountains from the earth. it's so dramatic. what is happening there right now? what is happening there right now? what makes it continue for such a long time?— what makes it continue for such a ton: time? , ., , long time? over the past few months, the have long time? over the past few months, they have been _ long time? over the past few months, they have been getting _ long time? over the past few months, they have been getting lots _ long time? over the past few months, they have been getting lots of- long time? over the past few months, they have been getting lots of signs i they have been getting lots of signs and monitoring, so earthquakes where you can detect movements underground, with molten rock pushing towards the surface, and what's happened now since it's reached the surface, there is a long crack on the ground, a fissure eruption, so it happens in a long line and they have been tracking the movement of these earthquakes over several months and now they have

finally reached the surface. so there was a lot of concern for the local town, about three kilometres from where the eruption has happened, so the southern edge of this long line of the eruption. at the moment, the town has been spared of the eruption itself and most of the lava that has poured out has gone towards the east and a bit towards the west, so there is future concern that this crack, this extension of the eruption may continue and, if it continues towards the south, it will get closer to the town, but for the moment the residents have been spared this outpouring of lava. thea;r spared this outpouring of lava. they can build barriers— spared this outpouring of lava. they can build barriers to _ spared this outpouring of lava. they can build barriers to trade with it a certain way, can't they estimate what they make them from? not entirely sure, but possibly concrete. they try to protect power stations so there is some infrastructure that might be impacted by lava flows. at the moment, it seems to be more roads and electrical infrastructure at

risk, but there is a power station quite close by and obviously the town i know that some of the residents in the north of the town are calling for some sort of defensive wall to be built. that was heather handley, an expert on volcanic hazards. complaints about rat infestations in rented homes have risen sharply to many lentils are blaming their tenants for the problem rather than try to solve it. a resident rat. caught on camera in the kitchen cupboard. jojo set it up. i camera in the kitchen cupboard. jojo set it u -. . ., camera in the kitchen cupboard. jojo setitu. , ., , , set it up. i put it on there because i think they _ set it up. i put it on there because i think they could _ set it up. i put it on there because i think they could be _ set it up. i put it on there because i think they could be getting i i think they could be getting through there. she i think they could be getting through there.— i think they could be getting through there. i think they could be getting throu:hthere. ,, ,, �*, , through there. she says she's been livin: with through there. she says she's been living with rats _ through there. she says she's been living with rats in _ through there. she says she's been living with rats in her— through there. she says she's been living with rats in her rochdale i living with rats in her rochdale home two years. i’zre living with rats in her rochdale home two years.— living with rats in her rochdale home two ears. �* , , , home two years. i've sent messages and they've _ home two years. i've sent messages and they've been — home two years. i've sent messages and they've been and _ home two years. i've sent messages

that when they looked at the phones of the girl and the boy, who today have been convicted of her murder, they found plans for other people, for other children to have been killed. it'sjust for other children to have been killed. it's just that brianna happened to be there and was in their sites and unfortunately she was the one who got murdered. her mother and father are going to be coming outside behind me, where you can see the cameras and reporters, in a few minutes there are still proceedings going on in court. then they will come downstairs and give a statement. in the last few minutes, a statement from manchester pride. i said it wasn't being seen as a transgender crime but it was inevitable that it's seen as such. following the guilty verdict for the two individuals involved in the murder, a spokesperson for manchester pride said, as we hear the outcome of the verdict in the tragic murder a brave young trans

woman from cheshire, our hearts go out to brianna but group family and friends. she wasjust16 out to brianna but group family and friends. she was just 16 and deserved a future where trans individuals live securely and with respect but instead her life was devastatingly cut short. no amount of legal accountability can ever make up for the profound loss to brianna's family, friends and the lgbtq+ community, and crimes like this show how much more needs to be done to protect the trans community, enabling them to live free from fear. it says today it is sombre reminder to safeguard trans lives. our beautiful community should never be harmed or doubted but protected and loved during the trial, there was evidence heard that the boy, known as y, who can't be named to protect his identity, did make comments about brianna and referred to brianna as it rather than she was brought up in court, but the defence team said that y had no hatred of

trans people. it wasjust team said that y had no hatred of trans people. it was just that he was interested in what was happening. that was part of that. the case has not ended. both have been convicted of murder. we will hear from the family a bit later. gala at manchester crown court, thank you. we expect to hear from brianna parents and also the place. we will go to that when it happens. stay with us on bbc news. live from london — this is bbc news. a new resolution is set for a vote in at the united
