patriots go get their recruitment effort on the growing population of britains who live in cities like london and glasgow. as well as north american cities, like new york and boston. citye 18 century, the economies were tied to britain's atlantic trade. patriots' message of imperial reform and economic expansion was very appealing to these people who were living in centers of imperial commerce. the patriot party did especially well with urban artisans. apprentices, shopkeepers, and independent merchants. the patriots focused on public outreach, with a few reasons for the movement's astounding success. by the beginning of the 1740's, the patriot party amassed a network of supporters on both sides of the atlantic. ok, so, now that you have a better idea of who these early patriots were, and what they stood for, let's focus on how patriot ideas help to jumpstart the age of imperial warfare. that brings us to part two of our talks. earlier, aned interventionist foreign policy was one of the key elements in their political agenda. they believe the burton's military was a tool that could and should be used to

post-game scotland is also set to stage some games edging the euro with glasgow being one of the competitions at 12 host cities. so it's off coming from me, the players they are standing in, they should be in the competition and show their best. how good that we are. so now that we're there, we can show that to the rest of us the world and get back to where we are, where we haven't been for so long. our fans have been celebrating in north macedonia. the national team is on its way to a major tournaments for the 1st time and their history. goran pandev, its goal, saw them when their play off against georgia, one nil ranked 65th in the wall. they'll face the netherlands ukraine on austria at the euros hungry scored twice in the last 2 minutes of the match to beat iceland 21 in their playoff. they'll join portugal, france and germany in group with the best one of the host, cities and slovakia scored a winner in extra time to end northern ireland's hopes of reaching the finals or goal at a slightly lower level of competition has been grabbing the global attention. take a look at this effort from nikolai, than duri

country, and here in the central belt, which includes glasgow and edinburgh, pubs and restaurants have been closed. the central belt as well as the cityhe closest to lockdown. areas like the western isles and murray, they will be brought down into tier 1, so they will face fewer restrictions because they've had fewer cases. the deputy first minister said today that he is hoping the results of these tough restrictions, which are beginning to show, he said there is possibly a slight levelling out in the increase in cases and also moving into the five—tier system he is hoping that could possibly avoid a lockdown. but he has not ruled out a second lockdown in scotland. because of that, the first minister nicola sturgeon, she has welcomed the extension of the furlough scheme for another month. but she has been asking, what happens if scotland goes into lockdown at a different time to england? will that furlough scheme still apply? the leader of the scottish conservative party, douglas ross, he put out quite a strong statement today. he said that scotland needs to be treated in the same way as england and said any future lockdown in scotlan

2 million people that are affected are across 11 council areas and that includes here in the city of glasgow glasgow. that is across central scotland and across western scotland. the kinds of restrictions that we are going to see is that hospitality is going to close, james are going to close, and nonessential shops are going to close. —— gyms and hairdressers will close as well. schools will remain open although the unions have called for a blended learning system in level four areas, they say the school should not be fully open in those areas. there has been a mixed reaction, it is obviously a very difficult time for businesses, especially coming up to christmas but nhs greater glasgow and clyde put out a statement last night saying they have seen a steady increase in the number of people going into hospital in the last few weeks, 700 people in hospital with covid at the moment and they say that their staff are under the same kind of pressure that they were at in the peak of the covid ist of may. thank you very much for —— the covid first wave. thank you very much. leading doctors have war

these areas are at the city of glasgow, renfrewshire, east renfrewshire, east dunbartonshire, west dunbartonshireces eve ryo ne recent weeks because of sacrifices everyone has been making. but in all of these areas, the infection rate remains stubbornly high. if the situation continues like that, the fa ct situation continues like that, the fact is more people will die orfall seriously ill. there is also a danger if we do not get infection rates down that our hospital and i see you services will become even more stretched as we move deeper into the winter period. that will obviously affect the nhs‘s ability to treat covid patients and also offer services to people with other illnesses. in addition, we want rates to come down further before the christmas period when people might be meeting up with family members a bit more than is the case now. the fact is, the fewer people in the population who have covid by the time we get to christmas, the lower the risk of others being infected with it during that period. it is very important for me to be clear that the risks would not be zero, which is why we

but there's concern about high infection rates in glasgow and many surrounding areas. the leader of hull city—19. the leader of the council, stephen brady, called it a health emergency and has written a letter to the prime minister. he says the infection rates are, quite frankly, astonishing and terrifying. we've seen once again to be the forgotten city with no contact from national governments. he goes on to ask for a range of extra help, things like extra supporter testing sites, more help in hospitals and also the flexibility to have more restrictions on schools and close them if and when necessary. we have not had any official response from the government to this but the schools minister has said it is vital that schools stay open for children's mental health and education. but the leader of the council says that half the schools are affected council says that half the schools a re affected by council says that half the schools are affected by covid and resilience alone and fighting spirit will not get them through this pandemic. thank you very much. there's been some more good news on th
