Unlike the uk| government which can borrow year on year, the scottish Budget Government has to balance its budget. The choices being made are not about reducing the totality of this vendor, it is about moving money around the overall plot that the Scottish Government has, in order to deliver on objectives. Particularly around things like pressures on public Sector Pay, commitments already made on Social Security, they start to eat into your overall Spending Pot and youve got to find the money from somewhere else, you cannot borrow from that, and that is essentially what the Cabinet Secretary is outlining today, where ceilings are going to be made in some areas, particularly in areas such as Winter Fuel payments, health, in tightening the belt across the administration within the Public Sector in scotland, and also using one off revenue as a backstop to potentially draw upon, to Help Fund the stated commitments.

Why was that lacking . One of the challenges the government faces is around that half of its budget is public Sector Pay and if it doesnt set out a clear Pay Policy at the time of the budget and doesnt have a clear plans for that pay, then essentially if the pay awards run ahead of the growth and the budget they are make savings, and that is where we have come today, where the commitment of the government in trying to sort pay deals, coming in above the overall growth in the budget is meaning they essentially have to make savings elsewhere. And that is outside of the usual budget process, this is an Emergency Statement at the start of a new parliamentary term. The ability of parliament to scrutinise all these choices is much more constrained than what would be the case in normal times. figs constrained than what would be the case in normal times.

Frances Interior Minister said at least 12 people have died after a Boat Carrying migrants capsized in the english channel, to other people are missing and a large Rescue Operation is under way. A spokesperson for the french coastguard said more than 50 people have been rescued and need medical treatment. Several people are understood to be in a critical condition, it is believed to have happened near a stretch of coastline, one of the shortest distances from the english coast. Emergency services have been responding since around half past 11 in the morning local time. Our correspondent in paris has the latest on the Death Toll. It is a confirmation latest on the Death Toll. It is a confirmation of latest on the Death Toll. It is a confirmation of the latest on the Death Toll. It 3 a confirmation of the Death Toll settling around that figure of 12, 13. The Interior Minister is on his way there, it is a sign of the gravity of the event and said it was 12 dead with two missing. And that seems to be where we are settling on, with may be others in hospital who are in a critical condition who may be in life threatening situations, it is a big event. Over the last weeks there have been regular deaths, but they tend to be one or two and not get much coverage. Now we have again a big tool, the biggest this year and a sign discussing is ever more popular and dangerous, as the traffickers use more unscrupulous ways of getting people across, crowding more people onto these dodgy boats. I cannot say for certain but i know this happened, its height was four hours ago, five hours ago now. A Boat Heading towards the english coast, not far from the french coast it would seem, was seen in great difficulty, coming apart and breaking up, all the people on board ended up in the water and this is different from other situations where the boat is gradually sinking and people have some time to cling to the boat while the Rescue Services arrive, this seems this time everyone was in the water is the boat came apart. There was 50, maybe 60 or even 70 people aboard this boat. 50 people have been rescued at least and then there is this Death Toll. I imagine it is a question of people cheating treating people cheating treating people on shore any be looking for the last bodies that may not be out at sea. Everything is in the framework of the last big event in this saga which was the Rishi Sunak Emmanuel Macron meeting a year ago, in which it was promised there would be a lot of new money put into the effort and it looked more Police Work and cooperation applied to try and bring the numbers down and to invest in new technology and more criminal investigations into the networks. Some of which has worked, there has been a certain degree of success in prosecuting and stopping migrants crossing over, but the flood goes On And on. Whatever is applied is never enough. On.

The man was attacked in Franklin Park in braunstone on Sunday Evening when walking his dog. You sense died of his injuries. A reporter has more. It has been a miserable day for locals in braunstone town. They have received this awful news that an 80 year Old Man has died after walking here In The Park behind me. This is Franklin Park, an area which is usually tranquil and quiet, a place where people come to bring their children to play, a place where people walk their dogs. It was on Sunday Evening at around 631 a man, an 80 year Old Man was out walking his dog here. He had reached a point behind me, one of the entrances to The Park beyond that chording when he was attacked by five years. We know the five youths fled the scene very quickly. We were told at the time Emergency Services arrived, they had already gone, so the man having sustained serious injuries at that point was taken to a nearby hospital and sadly has died from those injuries that he sustained in that attack. What do we know about the people involved . Five children have been arrested, three confirmed to have been 12 years old, to others a boy and a girl confirmed to have been 14 a girl confirmed to have been 1a years old.

They set this area behind the couple of officers out on patrol and say they are carrying out reassurance patrols in this part to try and calm the neighbourhood and let people know there is going to be a Police Presence so they can still come and walk The Park. Significantly Leicestershire Police have sent themselves to the police watchdog, the iopc. Because the man who died, the elderly man walking his dog was already in touch with Leicestershire Police before the incident happened, so that is Something Thatis happened, so that is something that is now going to be examined. They have referred themselves to the iopc, so we will wait and see what comes from that. In the meantime, this investigation is said to be moving at pace to try and establish exactly what happened.

Pope francis is injakarta in indonesia for the start of a historic and ambitious trip to asia. Let me show you the pictures of the pontiff being greeted at the international airport at the capital. Indonesia is the worlds most populous muslim Majority Country and the pope is due to visit a mosque and a neighbouring church. The vatican said the focus of the trip is interfaith harmony. The pulp has reduced his travel in recent years due to health problems, but this 12 Day Trip is the longest trip he has done as pontiff. As well as visiting indonesia he will travel to Papua New Guinea and singapore. He is set to travel nearly 33,000 kilometres during the 12 Day Trip and he is scheduled to attend more than a0 different events. Lets speak to a lecturer at a university in indonesia.

Indonesians are overjoyed by the arrival of Pope Francis, the leader of the Catholic Church. His presence has captivated all divisions indonesians, not only the catholics. In the past months many institutions have organised seminars, webinar talks, prayerand organised seminars, webinar talks, prayer and activities to welcome him, and many books have been written, and social media, and we have provided extensive coverage about him. We are so excited about this event. ,. , event. You said all indonesians, event. You said all indonesians, it event. You said all indonesians, it is i event.

Yes, you are right that the you are right that the Indonesian Catholic population is only 3 , and it makes around 8. 6 million people, but all of indonesians are welcoming the coming of the pope. I myself am asking why the pope chose indonesia to be visited on his journey to asia. I found that even though the Indonesian Catholic minority here in indonesia, the Indonesian Catholic has a big call for universal Catholic Church. In the past indonesia is considered a missing land, but nowadays catholics in Indonesia Indonesia plays a crucial role in the universal Catholic Church. So many missionaries have been sent from indonesia to all of the world. Indonesia has been considered an exporter of missionaries to the world nowadays. I think for Pope Francis and for the general universal Catholic Church, catholics in indonesia should be considered. Moreover, as the biggest muslim country, the coming of the pub in indonesia has a significant the pope in indonesia is significant for brotherhood between religions, in particular the relations between catholics and the muslims, the Majority Religion in indonesia. Muslims, the Maority Religion in indonesia. In indonesia. You are right because in indonesia. You are right because the in indonesia. You are right because the vatican in indonesia.

Back| you in the uk, from providing a warm space for communities to hosting activities and offering free access to books, libraries have been a key part of many of our lives, but the busy analysis has found since 2016 one in 20 libraries in the uk have been lost and deprived communities are times more likely to have lost a publicly funded Library In that time. Four times more likely. Lets talk to a former childrens laureate, thank you for your time. When i read out the number of libraries closing, what is your reaction when you hear numbers of that scale . It distresses me. I feel angry about it and i feel sad, distresses me. I feel angry about it and ifeel sad, i am about it and i feel sad, i am angry about it and ifeel sad, i am angry because i see this as disadvantaging the disadvantaged, it makes people poorer who are already poor, in having access to books and literacy, so that makes me sad. And angry both. It also deprives them of what you just described there, safe public spaces, and libraries in britain and All Over The World provide to much more than books these days, they provide access to digital platforms of all kinds, and also they are places where events go on, so they become very social, and i do events in libraries myself, i do readings in little ones, performances, or two adults, these events are nearly always free and this encourages people to read and find out about the world beyond themselves, but libraries are places where you can find out more about yourself, you can regard them as mirrors as well as windows or doors that you go through.

I was listening at the start of the day to a Radio Interview done by Lee Child who has written the hugely popularjack reacher books, and he was describing libraries as a Food Bank for the mind, a palace of books, thatis the mind, a palace of books, that is how he remembers it as a child. What are your reflections and what do you remember about being younger and going to libraries and reading . Mr; and going to libraries and reading . And going to libraries and reading .

There was a main library and a Childrens Library to one side, and i remember going with my friends and poring over the Picture Books that went on to become Mary Poppins movies, and that reminds me that we live in what we now call an intermediate world, which means we are reading books, we read online, we watch tv, we watch streaming, and it has not these things are in competition with each other, but they bounce off each other, but they bounce off each other, but they bounce off each other, and the great advantage of reading and the print is it gives us access to the language of power, the language of power is written in a particular way, particularly structured any way, and we want children or adults to access that particular way of talking that particular way of talking that government use, administration, lawyers, doctors, teachers and schools use, and one way to do that is freely move amongst books, reading widely and often, browsing for books, discovering what you like and accessing that special way of writing and that special way of writing and that special way of writing and that special language we find in books. That is the language of power. If we deprive people of power. If we deprive people of that, you are basically saying this line which of power is not for you. It is a powerful statement when we start closing libraries. It is interesting start closing libraries. It is interesting about start closing libraries. It is interesting about the start closing libraries. It is interesting about the language of power, more libraries have been lost in more deprived communities, so you get a sense of where so much power is being lost four people perhaps you do not have the voices in the first place.

Search and Rescue Operations are continuing, they said after the alarm sounded, the missiles hit. There were explosions and several minutes where there was confusion. There was no parade or any other event at the time. We will have more on that Breaking Development here injust will have more on that Breaking Development here in just a moment. Good afternoon. Some differences in the feel of the Weather Today depending on where you are. That was certainly the case last night. Parts of Eastern England only got down to around 18 c. Compare that with three degrees in parts of Northern Ireland and the highlands of scotland. Now that cooler, fresher air is slowly but surely sinking its way southwards and eastwards for the middle part of the week. But it is unlikely to last long because for the end of the week we will pick up this feed of humid air once again from the near continent. With that, some of us will see some outbreaks of rain in the short term. High pressure trying to build from the west, but still the remains of a couple of Weather Fronts bringing some cloud and some showers. This band of showery rain pushing across Northern Ireland, the Western Side of scotland. Also some pretty sharp showers down towards the South East of england here. A warm afternoon 23, 2a, 25 degrees, but that cooler, fresher air in place further North And West and that will steadily push a little bit further southwards and eastwards overnight. Therell be some areas of low cloud, mistand murk, some showers, perhaps most especially across south West Scotland and into Northern Ireland. But temperatures in the highlands again could get down to around four degrees celsius. 1a in london, so not quite as warm or as muggy as it was last night. Into tomorrow, well, really it is a sunshine and showers day. Some of the showers will be on the heavy side. Little cluster here of heavy showers and thunderstorms likely to move across eastern, central and eventually southern parts of scotland. But it is going to be a fresher day across the Board 1a to 20c. Now this little frontal system here through Wednesday Night into thursday, its going to sink its way southwards and will then start to join forces with this broader area of low pressure developing over continental europe. For a time, that could bring some pretty wet weather across southern parts of england, the midlands, into wales. There could be enough rain to cause some localised disruption, but further north, something a little bit drier. The winds in the north, relatively light, but it will be blustery in the south and we will start to pick up a humid feel, which will take us towards the end of the week. Temperatures for some could get into the mid 20 celsius, but there will be some rain, especially in the south. Live from london. This is bbc news.
