Now, the scottish greens have accused the snp of an act of political cowardice in ending the power sharing deal. It comes after scotlands first minister, humza yousaf, called an emergency meeting of his cabinet. Later, the breakdown of the power sharing deal follows criticism of a decision to scrap the countrys 2030 climate target and the manner in which a review into gender services was conducted. The end of the deal means the snp will now be forced to operate as a minority government. It labour is promising to renationalise the railway if it wins the next general election. The party says it will be the biggest overhaul in a generation, and claims the taxpayer will not pay a penny in compensation costs. It would mean all networks would transfer to Public Ownership within labours first term. Current government proposals would see the creation of a Public Sector body, which would award contracts to the private sector. But labours plan goes further, promising to establish a publicly owned network led by Rail Industry experts say the system of grading schools with one word judgements should stay. Thats according to the department of education. The government says grades such as outstanding or inadequate provide significant benefits and give parents a succinct summary of schools. The grading system of schools. The grading system came under scrutiny following the death of headteacher ruth perry, who took her own life after a report downgraded her school. Her sister Julie Walters , says the governments response is woefully inadequate. A is woefully inadequate. A stabbing at a school in wales yesterday was reportedly halted when a heroic teacher intervened, placing the attacker intervened, placing the attacker in an arm lock. Amman Valley School was put into lockdown yesterday when a student allegedly attacked two teachers and a pupil. Their injuries are not life threatening. Darrell campbell, a teacher and chairman of a local rugby club, reportedly disarmed the alleged attacker , putting her in an arm attacker, putting her in an arm lock until Emergency Services arrived. The school will remain arrived. The school will remain closed today while forensic teams investigate it and the suspect remains in custody. The suspect remains in custody. The government is accusing labour of failing to keep britain safe after the party declined to support an increase in defence spending. The Prime Minister says £75 billion of new funding will show our enemies that we are resolute and determined. But shadow financial secretary james murray says the government hasnt laid out a clear plan. While the size of Britains Army has actually been reduced. Has actually been reduced. Government havent set out their Spending Plans up to 2030, so if the government want to pubush so if the government want to publish their Spending Plans for 2030 and explain how theyre going to get there , then well going to get there, then well look at them, of course. And actually, i think that you know, at the moment people are keen as well to judge the government by their record because they have beenin their record because they have been in power for 14 years. You know, we know that over £15 billion has been wasted on mismanaged defence procurement since 2010. We know how much the army has been reduced. You know, people i think will look at the governments record over the last 14 years when considering how much they can trust any of the promises they are making now and the number of shoplifting offences recorded by police in england and wales has risen to the highest level in 20 years, is over 430,000 offences were logged by forces last year. Thats up more than a third on the year before. Its the highest figure since current records began, according to the office for national statistics, which described the latest increase as notable. It comes after major retailers raised concerns about the rising cost of theft. And for the latest of theft.

It is indeed. And another day, another crisis for the Scottish National party. The first minister, humza yousaf, has today terminated his partys power sharing agreement with the scottish greens , meaning hell scottish greens, meaning hell now head a minority government. Now head a minority government. Us. Whilst he sought to downplay the coalitions collapse by saying it had served its purpose, the scottish greens accused the first minister of an act of political cowardice , and act of political cowardice, and the scottish conservatives called it an utter humiliation. So there you go. Different interpretations of the same thing. But could this spell the end for humza yousaf . Well, lets get more on this now with our gb news scotland reporter, tony maguire. Tony, youre there in holyrood for us. Did people see this coming today . 7 good . Good morning. 7 good morning. Well certainly not. I think this has shocked pretty much everybody. The report started to come in late last night that a meeting would be held, an emergency meeting of the cabinet this morning, albeit actually went ahead. There were actually went ahead. There were a couple of hours earlier than first thought, and thats only ever happened twice before. Once when alex salmond failed to get a budget through in his first couple of years, and then one immediately the day after brexit was voted for in order to plan the next independence referendum. So it gives you an idea of how extraordinary this was. But for many people , was. But for many people, theyll be thinking that this was inevitable and only a matter of time. Weve seen relationship deteriorate quite significantly over the last couple of weeks. First, with those, 2030 green targets of Greenhouse Gases reductions by 75. Last week. And then, of course, the withdrawal of hormone therapies for children. Now, i went out and i spoke to people in edinburgh today to break the news to many of them, actually, and to ask them how much confidence they still had in this minority snp government. I think its a good thing for scotland. I think the greens scotland. I think the greens have not been a force for good in our country. So i frankly, i think yes, its im glad. Im glad to see the bute house agreement come to an end. And you think the snp will still be okay with a minority and minority government . Well, i think it will put them under a bit of pressure , them under a bit of pressure, well see. Id heard , rumours and things id heard, rumours and things that are going on, but i didnt actually know that has happened today. So, not as confident, not particularly, i think in a mess at the moment. I think thats been going on for a while. Do you think we need. Would you like to see an election, probably. I need. Would you like to see an election, probably. I think need. Would you like to see an election, probably. I think they election, probably. I think they might have to call an election. Yeah, but thats a sad event. No, i havent been for a long time, actually , but i didnt time, actually, but i didnt really see the news this morning. So the greens have left the snp a minority government how. Now. Yeah, so am i right in saying you might fancy an election with that queer thing . Yes, i think we should. Yes yes, i think we should. Yes so there you go. A lot of kind of confusion in the first part, but then i think were also seeing people now facing facts that this is going to be difficult. And indeed humza yousaf said this morning this will be tough. And indeed, if he will be tough. And indeed, if he cant get things through like a budget or if he cant get other politicians on side and lets face it, an Election Year where everyones already champing at the bit for a good scrap in the chamber, then he is going to have a really difficult time. No really, really difficult time indeed. Well, tony maguire, thank you so much for bringing us those views, that analysis, and also for organising those bagpipes in the background of those interviews with the public. Really appreciate it. Public. Really appreciate it. Its great when, when we, when its the first time someones received the news and you just get that instant reaction, the quintessentially scottish scene there in edinburgh , in the capital there, edinburgh, in the capital there, shall we speak to Katherine Forster for some more analysis on this . Our Political Correspondent , catherine, what correspondent, catherine, what does this mean for the snp and their now minority government . Their now minority government . Yes. Well, now a minority government. So potentially in quite a lot of trouble, theres 129 seats in the Scottish Parliament, the snp only holds 63. So theyre just two short of a majority, which is why they needed , this deal with the green needed, this deal with the green party that theyve had since 2021. But its all broken down exceptionally acrimoniously today. Exceptionally acrimoniously today. And fundamentally because today. And fundamentally because of the rowing back on their net zero plans, because of unhappiness about the gender reform, etc, the scottish greens were already going to have a vote on whether to continue to in this agreement or not. I think humza yousaf decided to get ahead with it and basically pull the plug on it. So of course now the scottish greens are furious. Theyre accusing him of betraying a generation now fundamentally vie and the snps only real friends were those seven, scottish green mps in that they also wanted , in that they also wanted, independence. Of course, the conservative msps dont, nor do laboun conservative msps dont, nor do labour. So this is really, really bad news for humza yousaf. The fact that now hes going to have to have a minority government. I mean, yes, its his choice, but its going to be difficult. And of course it just piles more woe upon him, doesnt it . Given that its only a week or two since the arrest of Peter Murrell , of course, the former murrell, of course, the former snp treasurer, mr Nicola Sturgeon, if you like, are now being charged with embezzlement after a year long Police Investigation which saw those extraordinary scenes of a blue police tent in the sturgeon front garden. So humza yousaf, hes only had just over a year in power. Things are looking very, very difficult for him and people like kate forbes, who of course narrowly missed out on the leadership, he might have to turn to her for help. She might possibly get a big promotion. Possibly get a big promotion. Ash regan she was another of the leadership candidates. She left leadership candidates. She left the Scottish National party. She went over to the alba party. So the days of the snp ruling the roost in scotland effectively for a long time pretty much operating as a one party state, i think are well and truly over. And of course, the westminster elections coming up at the end of the year, labour are expecting to take a lot of seats from the snp and that could really, really help labour to a majority back in westminster. Its really interesting to look at how the snp has managed in minority before, because when they were first elected in two thousand and seven, they were a minority government. But i suppose the question of independence was far less visceral, far less real, not the biggest dividing line in scottish politics. They could rely on unionist parties, issue by issue to pass votes. Perhaps it now, given the question of, of separation, of partition of independence is so very real. I find it very hard to imagine that any lib dem, any labour or conservative msp would vote with them and given now that humza yousaf has summarily dismissed the greens, theyre not going to be willing to work with him ehheni be willing to work with him either. I find it very hard to imagine how hes going to pass any legislation, and then we get on to the question of perhaps an early election, catherine a e yes, indeed , he he basically has yes, indeed, he he basically has lost now with this action, his friends, the green party. So hes got them now very cross with him. No friends in labour and the conservatives of course. And the holyrood elections, the next one isnt scheduled till may 2026, so thats a long way from where we are now. Is he really going to be able to get through the next two years . And of course , two years . And of course, theres a reason why, you know, he did this deal, with, with the scottish greens, just as you know, theresa may did. That was different wasnt it. Confidence and supply deal with the dup. But you need to have the numbers. Politicians you know all about numbers. If you havent got the numbers. So it will be very interesting to see what happens, what happens next. But yeah hes taking the initiative here. But still not a good day for the snp. Not at all. Thank you very much indeed, Katherine Forster there, our Political Correspondent, very interesting to talk to you and get the facts on that. I do wonder, though, tom, is there something to say about could this be Party Management from humza yousaf . In a way many of his backbenchers talk about the scottish greens with disdain. Yeah, weve heard from particularly those who supported kate forbes. Theyve called them wine bar revolutionaries. They are very much extreme , perhaps are very much extreme, perhaps on the left wing of politics. Would this allow for humza yousaf to perhaps rule in a more pragmatic way, ditching these green targets, ditching some of the extreme gender policies that are there . I mean, is that some are there . I mean, is that some good spin there for humza yousaf . Optimistic spin . Because ultimately humza yousaf now is in office but not in power , he in office but not in power, he cant guarantee the votes to do anything as first minister. And whats more than that, he probably jumped before he was pushed , as catherine was saying pushed, as catherine was saying they were going to vote on on disassembling this coalition anyway. Hes taken the initiative now to make it look like it was his decision. But having done that, hes really irritated the greens. So on an issue by issue basis , perhaps issue by issue basis, perhaps hes even lost authority and lost power and lost bargaining ability as well. And hes hoping hes hoping that somehow the opposition parties will act constructively with him. But theyve made it very clear in their statements that they will not. When asked when humza yousaf was asked if his decision to u turn on this pact with the greens shows hes weak, he said quite the opposite. It shows leadership. Ive got to make sure i do whats in the best interest of scotland. Scotland. However, the scottish greens, their co leader lorna slater , their co leader lorna slater, has said that this is an act of polit
