that's what both alba and the snp should be interested in.at's taken up so much bandwidth of the scottish government and also how you can return to what we call the people's agenda of education, health, housing and jobs and industry and ash regan has some proposals on how to do that, so these are very reasonable proposals and let's hope that humza yousaf gives it a receptive hearing. there are calls for more drug and alcohol support to be offered to people from black, asian and minority ethnic communities following concerns from charities that these groups are often underrepresented in treatment. anna crossley has been speaking to kim, a south asian woman who was addicted to heroin for 16 years and is now in recovery. i'm quite nervous. my stomach is churning. i feel quite sick, really, because this is where my addiction started. i had come away from a really unhappy, horrible marriage, and i thought i was going to start a new life here, but ended up spiralling into addiction. i didn't know. i didn't know that i was addicted to drugs. this is

we have stable relations with the alba group, which was once created on the initiative of venezuela, and a number of areas of cooperation, first of all, it is a political theologian. because alba really opposes attempts to reproduce neo-colonial schemes in the region, advocates for regional countries to decide their own destiny, in this sense alba plays a very positive role in supporting regional interaction within the community of latin american and caribbean states, in its subregion alba promotes... the same principles, the same values ​​that underlie the village, which we support in every possible way, from practical directions i would like to note the political dialogue, which is very intense and useful, we together with alba, we are among those who advocate reform of the un, including its security council, so that the structures of the united nations... more objectively reflect the legitimate interests of the world majority countries, latin america, africa and asia. we have very close coordination here within the united nations, and in addition to this, close contacts in the are

well, alba are rroin to what it's about? well, alba are going to win — what it's about?etic at the scottish parliament system would give alba around 20 seats in the scottish parliament but we've got to think what's in the interests of scotland and what's in the interest of scotland in my estimation is to get independence back to the top of the political agenda, to move away the culture wars and identity politics that are so divisive in scottish society and get the scottish parliament onto what we call the people's agenda ofjobs, housing, health, education and above all investment in key scottish industries and the energy sector. that is the proposal is that ash regan will be taking to the first minister. �* , ., minister. oko, we'll see what the outcome is. _ minister. oko, we'll see what the outcome is, thank _ minister. oko, we'll see what the outcome is, thank you _ minister. oko, we'll see what the outcome is, thank you for - minister. oko, we'll see what the| outcome is, thank you for bearing with the aberdeenshire rate, it's been great to have you on the programme

the snp decided they didn't want to do that, to deal with alba or mr salmond with whom they had fallenctacularly. that led them going back to the agreement saying, could you support me from outside the government? they said no and that left him with no option but to go. mr yousaf, are you resigning today? a simple answer — yes. not at home in dundee, though, but here at the official residence of the first minister in edinburgh, the place which gave its name to the power—sharing deal with the greens which humza yousaf dumped so disastrously last week. unfortunately, in ending the bute house agreement in the manner that i did, i clearly underestimated the level of hurt and upset that caused green colleagues. i have concluded that repairing our relationship across the political domain can only be done by someone else at the helm. i have therefore informed the snp's national secretary of my intention to stand down as party leader and ask that she commences a leadership contest for my replacement as soon as possible. as a young boy born and raised in scotland, i could never have dreamt that

and that means ash regan, scotland's own albas only msp and effectively leader of alba party and holyroodd you, ash regan, she left the government and not the snp, just the government. during the consultation period of the gender recognition reform bill and subsequently it was called the member not by her name. the member until she left the party. she has since obviously joined alba and she will be having quite a lot of discussions , i quite a lot of discussions, i imagine, this evening to see where this goes. so we know that the political parties don't have any faith. apparently in humza yousaf, but do the members of the public? well, i went out today and i spoke to members of the public in edinburgh and asked them , do they still have asked them, do they still have confidence in this government? i think it's a good thing for scotland. >> i think the greens have not been a force for good in our country . so i frankly i think country. so i frankly i think yes , i'm glad. yes, i'm glad. >> i'm glad to see the bute house agreement come to an end. >> and you think the snp will still be okay
