so why did your members of the scottish parliament vote against increasing nurses‘ pay?sition. as is the case across the uk, we have a i% pay cap across the public sector. and you voted to sustain that. can ijust explain the position we are in and the action we have taken and what i think needs to happen in the future? we have had that pay cap to try to protectjobs and make sure that we could support a policy of no compulsory redundancies in our nhs. again, a policy that other parts of the uk don't have. no nurses have been made redundant in england and wales. 12,000 nhs staff have been made redundant. yes, but not nurses. there have been redundancies across the nhs. but not nurses. i would have to double check that, but i think you might be wrong on that point. we have a policy of no compulsory redundancies. we have also done two other things. let me finish this point, because it's important. we have done two other things that haven't been done in other parts of the uk. we have given bigger increases to those at the lowest end of the income scale. and we have also prote

a proposed member's bill put forward by highlands and islands green msp john finnie in the scottish parliament which aims to give children equal protection from assault. the consultation will run until 4th august. in england, wales and northern ireland there is no ban on smacking and parents are allowed to use "reasonable chastisement". however, hitting a child so hard that it leaves a mark, or causes bruising, swelling, cuts, grazes or scratches could result in criminal charges. under scottish law, parents can claim a defence of "justifiable assault" when punishing their child. the united states says it will consider its own interests first, as it reviews its climate change policy. the us secretary of state, rex tillerson, told a meeting of the eight nations with land

this election is about whether scotland's future is decided by the scottish people in the scottish parliamentrnment force of our future should always be in the hands of the scottish people. i think scotla nd of the scottish people. i think scotland should have a choice at the end of the brexit process because the alternative to that is that we simply have to take it or leave it, or we don't get the chance to leave it, we have to like it or lump it no matter how bad the deal turns out to be, even if theresa may ends up walking away with no deal. so i believe we should have a choice and i think that's fair and democratic. but there is the other opportunity in the election, which is to give scotla nd in the election, which is to give scotland the opportunity to influence brexit negotiations. that is why i say again, no matter how you voted last year, no matter how you voted last year, no matter how you voted last year, no matter how you voted in 2014, if you want scotla nd you voted in 2014, if you want scotland to have the strongest possible voice in these negotiations vote snp and strengthen s

the reason most of the scottish parliament underlined it. it will further reinforce a mandate. the circumstances, and he continued attempts to block scotland having a choice when the time is right and the options are clear, it would be democratically unsustainable. that will be a choice for the end of the present process. i want to be clear today, this election also present scotland with some more immediate opportunity. in the months ahead, we must make sure that our interests are not ignored in the budget negotiations. a vote for the s&p will make sure that scotland's voice is heard. the majority of people in scotland voted to remain in the eu. that voted toy leave, a real concern about the extreme phrases being pursued ivy prime minister. extreme brags it being pursued by the prime minister. universities, our businesses, almost every sector of our economy. that is why the scottish government published compromise proposals that would keep scotland in the single market. this proposal was brushed aside by the prime minister. this collection offers people the opportunity to give

we had a scottish parliament election in scotla nd scottish parliament election in scotland last year the snp won the election. subsequent to that the scottish parliament has now voted by a majority that there should be a referendum. that decision has already been taken. but where there is a difference between the snp and the other political parties is whether we support scotland's democratic institutions, oui’ scotland's democratic institutions, our parliament, our government, our right to decide our own future, and it is the snp that will be standing for the snp and the parliament and the people of scotland to decide on oui’ the people of scotland to decide on our own future. when the brexit decision was made and the negotiations are finished, everyone else in europe will have a say on oui’ else in europe will have a say on our future. 27 other european states will be saying that people in scotla nd will be saying that people in scotland should not be able to decide on their own future. i do not think so. when the people of scotla nd think so. when the people of scotland get to vote

we specified it incredibly clearly in the scottish parliament ma nifesto. in the scottish parliamentt is why we argued our compromised position should have been part of the uk government's negotiating ask. but we have a mandate for another referendum. the key point is, you don't have it at the drop of a hat. the first minister has been incredibly clear. we would not hold that until the terms of brexit are clear themselves. the backend of 2018, early 2019. the timescale theresa may has set. there will be won, we have a mandate to deliver and it cannot be until the terms of brexit are clear. then the scottish people can choose to go with brexit or perhaps take a different path. that was from hank. and finally, this is from james mchale. how can the snp be an anti—austerity party when in government you have cut education funding by more than £1 billion over five years? we are an anti—austerities party. we made changes to tax to bring in more revenue and put money into the health service, we have record funding and record high results of 160 and thousands kits at college. we have a recor

there is a scottish parliament.980s when margaret thatcher won big. when she did, she ruled the whole of the uk, there was virtually no local departments, and a scottish parliament. but if the tories were to win this one, there would be a celebration at conservative hq here because it will tell them what will happen in the general election. one of the big power bases, by the looks of the big power bases, by the looks of it, will not be the liberal democrats. they are the one big party going for the remain vote. it looks like a lot of leave voters have gone to the tories and others have gone to the tories and others have voted on the bin collection rather than voting for the remain party. the party of the 11% rather than the 48% by the end of today. steve a nd than the 48% by the end of today. steve and julia, enjoy the rest of the results. ranks forjoining us. a little later than planned, we will get the news, notjust the election news but the news as well let's join jane hill. the conservatives have made big gains
