now, john swinney was asked about this potential challenge today. he said he would respect any democratic process, but did argue that a contest could potentially delay the party from rebuilding. but in terms of what's next, if a contest does happen, it will trigger a leadership battle, which could go on until the end of may. the 27th of may is the cutoff for the snp to choose its next leader. but if there isn't a contest, john swinney could be in the top job in the coming days. it's been a staple of breakfast tables and cafes across france for generations — we are talking about the humble croissant. now bakers in paris are challenging tradition — and addressing climate change — by making the pastry without using butter. our paris correspondent andrew harding has the story. the french, as we know, take their food and all its traditions seriously. almost like a religion. so what to make of this? in a paris bakery, something close to sacrilege. c'est bon. it is a croissant made entirely without butter. like everything else on sale here. the baker
