newsnight has been to rutherglen and hamilton west ahead of the vote there on october 5th.s never far away. giant warehouses of the internet economy are mushrooming alongside the m1. some wealth, but areas where life can be a bit more of a struggle. mid bedfordshire, a rock solid conservative seat for the last 92 years, now faces a by—election after the long, drawn out resignation of nadine dorries. by—elections in conservative held seats have followed a familiar pattern in recent years. it doesn't take long to work out who the main challenger is and the no hoper, well, they run a dignified but not exactly energetic campaign. not so this time. labour and the liberal democrats, well, they're going toe to toe, giving the conservatives hope that maybe they can sneak through the middle. recent by—elections, we've seen an absolute collapse in the votes of one of the parties, either the liberal democrats or the labour party, depending on if it was the labour party or the liberal democrats in with the greatest chance of winning that seat. the opponents opposing each other. the lab

police say joshua parker and briana sterrett both homeless, were parked on west hamilton avenue when officers contacted them last month. police say their three children, ages three, six and eight, were in the vehicle, living in unsanitary conditions. they say both parents were on drugs and they also found oxycodone pills within arm's reach of the children. the parents are now facing child abuse charges. the fbi's san francisco office has released photos of a person investigators say may have critical information in a sexual exploitation investigation involving a child. he is described as being 18 to 25 years old. the fbi says agents are looking for him as part of an operation that seeks unknown subjects who visibly displayed their faces in associates with child images. san francisco city attorney david chu says the city is pleased with a new appeals court ruling on enforcing laws on homeless encampments. while the judges declined to alter the injunction. that limits the sweeps, chu said it appears the decision will allow sweeps of people who refuse the offer of shelter. the city atto

obviously we've got this by—election coming up in rutherglen and hamilton west following the resignationver the mp margaret ferrier over the covid rule break. and clearly, if labour reclaims some of their territory in scotland , they're territory in scotland, they're going to be a massive threat to the snp. well i think the problem facing the snp is in a way the same problem facing the tory government . tory government. >> nicola sturgeon was very like bofis >> nicola sturgeon was very like boris johnson, that she used government to campaign campaign politically for independence for her independence was the answer to everything, whether it was poor policing or nhs waiting or all the or any problem that people raise. now she's gone. it feels as though a veil has been lifted. people are going to know what the government in scotland are meant to deliver. core pubuc are meant to deliver. core public services, good schooling , good education, good transport, good trains, regular trains, good bus services, good policing and all of these things. and people are going well. actually, i'm not getti

about scotland's political direction next week when a by—election takes place in rutherglen and hamilton west's your favorite flavour? my favorite flavour is chocolate fudge brownie. that is a good shout. do you do mint choc chip? yes, here is a mint chocolate right here. alex helps run the business. it's been in herfamily for over a century. but like small firms everywhere, rising prices are proving tricky. right now here in rutherglen, i would say the cost of living is the biggest challenge for everyone at the moment, notjust us as a business, but the general public. monthly, we are more than double the bill of what we were before for gas and electricity. i think people especially want to know that somebody is going to address these issues and do it quickly. the cost of living looms large over so many decisions, but this vote is proving a big test of scotland's political direction. the by—election here has become one of the most important in scotland for years. for the first time in a decade or so, snp dominance of scottish politics is in question. and this seat is a must—win for labour bec
