Bring us the correspondent, thank you for updating us and bring us the latest. If you missed any of updating us and bring us the latest. If you missed any of what Lorna Outside or want what Lorna Outside or want to get more detail, there is a lot more on the Bbc News Website on a life page. Lets get my reaction. Lets speak to graham roy. I knew you were listening to everything being said in holyrood a little while ago. How much do the savings announced go towards tackling the severity of the economic situation . Situation . There are quite Certificate Situation . There are quite certificate savings, situation . There are quite certificate savings, so situation . There are quite certificate savings, so we| situation . There are quite certificate savings, so we know overall the Scottish Budget is going up this year, but commitments, particularly in things like Social Security and public Sector Pay are eating into that budget increase, so what the government are trying to do is find some in to do is find some headroom in order to meet these commitments, and they are looking for around about 1 billion worth of movement, about half of that coming through Spending Reprioritise nation, so cuts in some areas and using the money to fund additional expenditure elsewhere, and around half 1 billion coming through, using a technical thing called scott when, which is a one off payment to the Scottish Government has got through the selling of offshore renewable licences. selling of offshore renewable licences.... licences. There was a lot of talk of balancing licences. There was a lot of talk of balancing a licences. There was a lot of talk of balancing a budget, | licences. There was a lot of. Talk of balancing a budget, but it is important to emphasise that it it is important to emphasise thatitis it is important to emphasise that it is not like a household budget. A lot of this is political decisions, so do you think, does it seem that the decisions that were announced Todayis Decisions that were announced today is the only option for itss finances . Today is the only option for itss finances . Unlike the Uk Government itss finances . Unlike the Uk Government which itss finances . Unlike the Uk Government which can itss finances . 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. Help fund the stated commitments. ~ ,. commitments. We spoke to the aeneral commitments. We spoke to the general secretary commitments. We spoke to the general secretary of commitments. We spoke to the general secretary of the general secretary of the scottish Trades Union Congress earlier who said that actually there are other ways of doing this, there are ways of taxing people differently, changing the taxation system. Is that not an option that the Scottish Government could have used. It is not an option this year. The Scottish Government has to set its Tax Policies for the next financial year. Its Tax Policies for the next financialyear. In its Tax Policies for the next financial year. In the future, yes, it could change its Tax Policies if it wanted to to raise revenues, but for this year, the statement was about balancing the budget in this financial year, for that it is constrained. It has to rely on repair ties and spending within the year. I repair ties and spending within the ear... the year. I want to ask you about one the year. I want to ask you about one of the year. I want to ask you about one of the the year. I want to ask you about one of the things the year. I want to ask you | about one of the things that were said after the report by the commission, which was about the commission, which was about the more Transparency And Planning be needed around pay awards. 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. gs constrained than what would be the case in normal times. As we heard from the case in normal times. As we heard from our the case in normal times. As we heard from our scotland heard from our Scotland Correspondence there is a bit of a Blame Game being played here. The snp blaming the Uk Government, Scottish Labour blaming the snp, Uk Labour government blaming its tory predecessors. Where is the blame proportion. Who has the responsibility for the situation that the finances find themselves in . Ultimately, we say this find themselves in . Ultimately, we say this is find themselves in . Ultimately, we say this is about find themselves in . Ultimately, we say this is about policy we say this is about Policy Choices at a uk level, to determine overall spending across the uk, which determine the Barnett Consequential for the Barnett Consequential for the Scottish Budget, there is Policy Choices by the Scottish Government in the devolved taxes they have got to decide, how much they raise, the balance between supporting the economy and increasing tax rates, and the choices that the Scottish Government has got to make in what it prioritises in spending. In scotland, the introduced new Social Security payments that do not have equivalent payments and the rest of the uk. They are you, there time. Just to remind you, there is more on the Bbc Website on the life page. All the details of that announcement of Savings Worth 500 million in the current Venture Year announced by the Finance Secretary for scotland. Lets return to one of our other top stories. 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.

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.
