in 300 years, no—one came closer to ending scotland's union with england than alex salmond.n my estimation, has been the greatest campaign in scottish democratic history. a formidable political figure who guided a party that for decades was on the fringes of politics to the heart of power, changing the political landscape of the united kingdom and delivering a referendum on independence. this is desperately sad news, that alex salmond has died, and i extend my deepest condolences to his wife moira and to his family. this is a moment that individuals will reflect on the exceptional leadership and contribution that alex salmond has given to public life in scotland, with his service in the house of commons and in the scottish parliament, and especially as the first minister of scotland. it was while studying economics at st andrews university that alex salmond joined the snp. he worked for a time as an oil economist, but politics soon exerted its pull. the mp for bantam buckham, alex salmond, has won the leadership of the scottish national party. mr salmond first led the snp in

you can read alex's book. so please do that. this is the beginning of the celebration, the real celebration is when you read it. so if you had read the first part of -- or the first edition of alex's book, you would know he joined us over 18 years ago for the first time in 2005/ 2006 as an intern. an idealistic young guy who read our founder, robert egger's book. fighting hunger differently and trying to break the generational, the destructive generational cycle of -- or cycles of incarceration, addiction, abuse, and ultimately poverty. and alex came to us and spent a semester here working out of his office or what we -- many people refer to as a box and a chair with -- it had at least three legs, i think, alex. we were pretty good at that point in time. alex went back to academia, came back and forth, toggled back and forth at d.c. central kitchen, doing some grants. and finally, i think, just sort of gave up that hope he might do something his parents might have wanted him to do and came to work in that shelter basement on sec

alex salmond has won the leadership of the i scottish national party.d first led the snp in the 1990s but it was during his second stint that his party became a major political force. it is good to be back. within three years, the snp were in government in edinburugh. then in 2011, he pulled off a few thousand thought impossible, winning a majority at holyrood. alex salmond negotiated a referendum on independence with david cameron. he was a formidable and inescapable voice in the debate that followed in on the airwaves, voice in the debate that followed on the airwaves, and the towns and cities across scotland. in the end, the referendum result was no and alex salmond stepped down his first minister and snp leader, alex salmond stepped down as first minister and snp leader, carrying on the fight for independence of the new political party. speaking to someone the other day, of him speaking with a colleague at the royal bank of scotland and outlining a strategy for achieving independence are scotland and i think he thought about that every day of his li

>> reporter: yeah, alex, it is bad. it may be a category 2, but we are getting a brunt of those winds right now and a good sense of why hurricanes like this are so damaging because we were standing here for a long time and the wind was going that way. and then it started to pick up, and not only did it get stronger, it shifted direction and started coming right at us. and that is one of the things about hurricanes that makes them so damaging. on toff of that, you mentioned it, the flash flood warning here in tampa. the alert going out to people not only tells them it is a flash flood warning but it is a life threatening situation. and the only reason you should leave where you are if you yourself are experiencing those floods and you need to get out of a place to try to escape the water. but i can tell you that right now these winds, 70, 80, 90-mile an hour gusts at a bare minimum, we are really seeing the intensity in the last half hour ratchet up. and while that surge, that historic surge people are worried about here

alex was my best friend.that really gets me. i'll never recover from it, truly. it's not known why alex bought the pills. he was always having trouble sleeping, and this had got worse with his adhd medication. and, um... my hunch is he probably bought them to calm himself down and try and get some sleep, i think. but that's a theory. alex is one of hundreds of people in the past year whose deaths have been linked to nitazenes. many of them have been heroin users, but bbc research can reveal nitazenes have now also been found in fake medicines sold as being able to treat conditions like anxiety or insomnia. we've analysed results from the national drug testing service wedinos, and found 130 instances in the 12 months to september where people tried to buy medication found to have been contaminated by nitazenes. experts say some people are seeking out prescription medicines illegally because they want to self—medicate. so they look the same, same packaging. - the colour will be the same. and there's always been

king charles has lead tributes to scotland's former first minister, alex salmond, who died on saturday at the age of 69. it's understood the former msp collapsed after delivering a speech at an international conference in north macedonia. joe biden is in florida, where he's expected to announce more than half a billion dollars to restore power grids damaged by hurricanes helene and milton. millions of homes and businesses are still without power. now on bbc news — newscast. newscast. newscast from the bbc. hello, it's laura in the studio. paddy in the studio. and henry at home. with a terrifying plant. remind us, it's an ethos or something? or a pothos or a pathos? ican't remember. it's about a year ago. sorry. this is sort of a recurrent plot line from some years ago now. um, recurring plant line. it's a pothos, isn't it? i don't know, it's getting quite big, though. yeah. well, yeah, i've been tending it. despite both of you claiming that it looks terrible. i think it needs to be pruned so that it's less long and more more plant like. it's a trailing plant. that's the point. prune yo

his ending you, alex. unfortunately, you know, it doesn't look like any of the goals that israel has set for itself, which, which continue by the way, to expand will allow their military operations to end anytime soon they started their operations by saying that they wanted to just push hezbollah off of their northern border so that there citizens in the north could come back. the ones who have been forcibly displaced since october 2023. now, we're seeing them put out these evacuation notices to the lebanese way off the border which could be a sign that the israelis are now planning a more a deeper invasion and possibly an occupation of southern lebanon. >> that of course is a major concern among the lebanese population is clear, i think you would agree that the u.s. sees an opening here for what they hoped would be a stronger lebanese government. this is a country that has been consumed by turmoil for the past few years a government that marginalizes hezbollah, how likely do you think that is? >> well i m

he is trying to reach out and grab those through media appearances, alex.eting the airways, makes sense. thank you for that. joining us now is the vice president of political strategy for crooked media and the head of vote america. welcome back, ladies. good to have you here. ashley, governor walz has been out this week specifically trying to win over male voters. in our new nbc news poll, if found a huge gender gap between harris and trump, with men backing trump by 16 points. can tom nichols help narrow that? >> i think he can but more importantly, harris needs to do more to shore up the female vote and make sure women turnout on election day. in the same way trump is trying to shore up the mail vote, i think, yes, it makes sense for tom nichols to continue the strategy but at the end of the day, harris has to shore up the female vote and the poll shows people will vote based upon the issue of abortion, which i said on the show before, will be a sleeper issue for turnout on election day. this election is all going to come down to turn out. that is evidenc

and like you say, alex is absolutely right.ic missiles rained down on washington or london, there would be some kind of response. but the broader context is a wider conflict encompassing multiple countries. and of course, israel has a right to defend itself. but lebanon also has a sovereign territory, which doesn't merit being invaded. a thousand lebanese have died in the last ten days. a thousand people, around a quarter of them women and children. that's that's a huge problem. and i think countries like the uk can actually be part of the solution. that's my view. i know for a long time, people that say the current leadership team as it is. >> keir starmer, david lammy , is >> keir starmer, david lammy, is this the a team? >> well i would i would i would struggle to think that they could do their own weekly grocery shopping. but in the abstract, i think that we have some of the best diplomats in the world. yes, we could be part of the solution. >> i accept that point about the quality of our diplomats. that's something we do h

what will your abiding memory be of alex salmond? 2007 election, and hearing alex salmond speaking from edinburgh where he had arrived and essentially said that because we had won the election, scotland had changed and would change forever as a consequence. i remember feeling at that moment all of the years of endeavour that we had all put in had suddenly reached fulfilment because we had the opportunity to shape the future of our country in a way that we had never had before. that is an extraordinary privilege that we are able to build on today. a genetic study of the remains of the explorer christopher columbus strongly suggests that he wasjewish. the finding is based on more than 20 years of research by spanish scientists. he's likely to have been born in western europe, possibly in the spanish city of valencia. it's thought colombus — whose voyages began the spanish conquests in the americas — concealed hisjewish ethnicity, or converted to catholicism to escape religious persecution. practising jews were expelled from spain in 11

alex salmond believed in scottish independence. his decades in politics. today remembered at the parliament where he was once the dominant force and in the area he used to represent. i always thought he was really interested in the local community. it was sad to hear that he passed away. really sorry for his family and friends. didn't agree with a lot of the things he did for scotland but it is sad he has passed too soon. it is a sad day for scottish politics. he done well for scotland. as first minister alex salmond led the snp into government at holyrood and pave the way for a the snp into government at holyrood and paved the way for a historic referendum. his opponents saw a formidable politician, his supporters a leader that made a nation believe in itself. as well as being a strong leader he had an ability to reach out to people who disagreed with him. that is why he had so many cross—party friendships. and when he was first minister he didn'tjust surround himself with those who agreed with him on everything. he had people in

i feel like alex's love for music was... escape from the struggles of daily life. alex harpum dreamed of becoming an opera singer. injuly last year, he'd just finished his degree at a prestigious music school. when he was found dead in his student flat. he was 23 years old. in his bedroom, police found anti—anxiety medication he'd taken that turned out to be fake. tests later revealed the pills contained nitazenes — super—strength synthetic opioids. half of me has gone, that will never come back. i miss him all day every day. alex was my best friend. there's no one else i can talk to now that really gets me. i'll never recover from it, truly. it's not known why alex bought the pills. he is one of hundreds of people in the past year whose deaths have been linked to nitazenes. in many cases, it has been found in harrowing samplings. —— harrowing. bbc research can reveal nitazenes have now also been found in fake medicines sold as being able to treat conditions like anxiety or insomnia. we've analysed results from the national

that is just cool. >> that's an extremely important moment, alex. what you are seeing is -- with the dr. king holiday to the first african-american and first woman president. it's an extraordinarily important and resonant moment. >> i love that you put that into context for us. thank you. as i continue asking you this -- chris harris has routinely questioned trump's mental fitness for office. she called out the many reports that trump is canceled interviews due to exhaustion, saying he can't finish a sentence. is this a reality that's going to go through to voters in a way that may be policy details might not? >> i might. but it has always been on display, and it may resonate with voters even more in this particular moment. we got down to crunch time, this is the period where it is time to kind of get serious. trump is not doing that. that may resonate more with people. however, it's important to vote in lieu of democrats recognizing you have two weeks, if you've ever felt engaged in politics, why did you do it but not this time? trump's lunacy has

again, alex, there's a lot of layers.think the disinformation, i would say the threading of disinformation across all social media platforms from the far right, maga , or even paid influencers, i think is making a mark. and again, that is what worries people like me who have been involved in fighting this information for so long. >> yeah, but relative to the military, to veterans, as you are touching on, we saw generals millie and mattis weighing in. they were talking to bob woodward on trump lines get retribution rhetoric. but much of their sentiments are new. so, do voices like there is move the needle now that the election is right around the corner? are people paying attention? >> this is going to be a realistic splash of cold water right now. i think what the republicans were harris is trying to move are only about 1-3% of republicans right now. i think you have a lot of republicans that won't pull the lever for trump, but they are not going to pull the lever for harris, either. because you hear some ridiculous thing
