8:30 pm
after losing her bid for the leadership, to the former minister hamza yousaf. she had been promised a "significant" role in the new government after opting not to run against mr swinney and will control of the economy portfolio. when this court first convened, james v was scotland's king, henry viii governed england. by those standards, this ceremony is brand—new. john ramsay swinney, to be first minister of the scottish government... mr swinney becomes just the seventh first minister since devolution in 1999. do you swear that you will well and truly serve his majesty king charles in the office of first minister of the scottish government? three times he nodded as scotland's seniorjudge administered the oaths of office. and then, with his family looking on, he put pen to parchment, making it all official. please be seated.
8:31 pm
it is the privilege of my life, and i look forward to dedicating my future to serving the people of scotland as i have done so for so many years, and to do that as first minister. what are your priorities for government? my overriding priority will be to work to eradicate child poverty in scotland. cameras click. the formalities over, the focus has now shifted here to bute house, the official residence of the first minister, wherejohn swinney is appointing his cabinet. the big change — last year's snp leadership contender kate forbes is back in government as deputy first minister is back in government. it is an enormous privilege and i look forward to supporting the first minister as he pursues the priorities of the scottish people — eradicating poverty, ensuring economic growth and ultimately uniting the country behind the great opportunities of our day.
8:32 pm
it all brings back memories for this man, labour's jack mcconnell, now in the house of lords. so, what advice does the third first minister have for the seventh? i think we need to give him the benefit of a fresh start, and i think people should be willing to work with him, but he needs to give a clear indication that he is willing to notjust talk about working with other people but to be open to new ideas, open to cross—party work, open to cross—government work with other parts of the uk. cameras click. first minister and prime minister spoke by telephone this afternoon, with both promising to be constructive. james cook, bbc news, brian taylor is with us political commentator and columnist for the herald. kate forbes back in government. her appointment would suggestjohn swinney is a series by dragging his party to the centre ground. trier? party to the centre ground. very much s0- _ party to the centre ground. very much s0- many _ party to the centre ground. - much so. many commentators are saying, what has changed is most of the cabinet posts are reconfirmed, there in the same agreement. on the
8:33 pm
basis of that very little has changed and of course everything has changed. there is a new first minister following the rather abrupt departure of humza yousaf. there is another deputy first minister in the person of kate forbes. last time she was in cabinet before the previous leadership contests she produced a white paper stressing need for enterprise, for economic growth, stressing the need to drive the economy forward in scotland in order to afford public services. there is one other big change. there is no longer a pact with the greens who stress specifically that they do not regard gdp economic growth is being a salient and substantial measure of well—being in the economy. kate forbes does and so doesjohn swinney, you're quite right. it is an absolute clear signal that they are taking a party to the centre ground in preparation for a uk general election and a subsequent hollywood or election to come. fin hollywood or election to come. on

8:35 pm
extent of the demands to be placed upon them by the more zealous greens with their drive for climate change action. john swinney is saying, we have not given this up, we have not given the simple biblical at a pace that perhaps matches what he would regard as practicality rather than absolute desire.— regard as practicality rather than absolute desire. let's talk timing. obviously the _ absolute desire. let's talk timing. obviously the first _ absolute desire. let's talk timing. obviously the first focus _ absolute desire. let's talk timing. obviously the first focus will - absolute desire. let's talk timing. obviously the first focus will be i obviously the first focus will be the westminster general election. coming up sometime this year. we suppose. he has not got time to change minds on background, but what about, we are a long way from stylish parliamentary elections, 2026. so can he get there unelected without a mandate from his party and from the people and at the head of the minority government? the first three labour _ the minority government? the first three labour leaders _ the minority government? the first three labour leaders in _ the minority government? the first three labour leaders in the - the minority government? the first three labour leaders in the stylish i three labour leaders in the stylish part of it after 1999 change one through demise and what their departure that was out there being a contest. it is the way they fixed
8:36 pm
term part of the event that is set out a term within that the lead of the first minister is elected at. i think there is an argument to be made, certainly the opposition parties are arguing for the snp have brought things to such a pass that it demands an election. the constitution to set up in a way to prevent that. to have the fixed term basis of the elections. john swinney will argue he is bringing forward a new approach in bringing forward a new approach in bringing forward a new dynamic and that he is entitled to be given a chance to do so. it is intriguing that mr swinney, he is a moderate controlled sustained and organised individual, but he is also an extremely passionate nationalist. so he's going to have to contain that zeal, to some extent, and stop the heckling that he used to do from sedentary positions in the chamber of the scottish parliament. it's almost promising to be a well—behaved board in the future. you like to try and work with the parties in the scottish parliament. he cannot rely on the greens. the
8:37 pm
pact is gone and the steps he is taking is driving him a wave with that so he is the deal with tories, labour, lip tabs, each extremely tough because there is a big obstacle in the way which is that they support the union into he supports independence. is he playing the independence, but what he trying to place it in the context of what people want saying, i will work for you on the cost of living, i will work for the economy, i will work for you on public services, just by the way consider how much more i could do if only i had the full powers of what he calls, normal country. powers of what he calls, normal count . , ., country. intriguing. it will be a fastenin: country. intriguing. it will be a fastening few _ country. intriguing. it will be a fastening few months - country. intriguing. it will be a fastening few months ahead . country. intriguing. it will be a| fastening few months ahead of country. intriguing. it will be a - fastening few months ahead of us. good to see you and they keep coming on, brian. a german spy chief said the far right alternative for the door slam party poses a risk for the party. if the regular of extremism but the beat of his phone clearly student significant party figures in extremist or even former and

8:42 pm
new bbc analysis suggests the world's oceans are struggling to deal with the effects of climate change, with temperature records repeatedly broken last year. that analysis is based on figures from the eu's copernicus climate service. our oceans absorb around a quarter of the carbon dioxide humans produce soaking up excess the heat. and the worry would be that they won't be able to do it as effectively as they did before. on nearly 50 days, the existing high in our ocean temperatures was exceeded by at least a third of a degree celsius. the natural weather event el nino has supercharged that effect. and it is of course effecting our
8:43 pm
delicate ecosystems. there has been a mass bleaching of coral, and the decline in species including emperor penguins. our climate editor, justin rowlatt, has more. the menai bridge between north wales and the island of anglesey. scientists have been monitoring the plants and animals on the sea shore here for almost 70 years. it's invaluable and it tells us so much about where species were, how quickly they've moved. they've been going back to the same places all around the uk, creating a unique record of the changing populations on our country's rocky coasts. in that time, sea temperatures around this country have warmed by an average of about one degree celsius. the big thing that i've seen is species aren't all moving at the same rate — so things are moving further north, but not at the same speed. so, all the community compositions are changing everywhere
8:44 pm
because different species are moving at different rates. some creatures can't move at all — like barnacles. so, this is a really disruptive process for ecosystems? i think if i was a barnacle, i'd be quite worried, yes! if one species vanishes or a new one comes in, it can affect all the other plants and animals in the system. at aberystwyth university, scientists track the changes with the same technology the police use at crime scenes. i think we're going to put this down about five metres. the researchers collect the traces of dna animals leave in the water. it is known as edna, environmental dna. it's possible to use edna to to track the movement of invasive species. there is a japanese species of sea squirt. it's called a carpet sea squirt. they form a blanket, a carpet,
8:45 pm
if you like, over the sea bed. they prevent the growth of native organisms in the areas that they colonise. because they do so well in our environment, they can potentially take over huge areas of the seabed. what we are finding is that the ones that are more invasive appear to be responding more strongly to global warming and increasing water temperatures. it is evidence ofjust how fragile some of our marine ecosystems are and stands as a warning that, as our seas continue to warm, we can expect unpredictable changes in the marine life of the uk. i'm joined now byjoel hirschi associate head of marine systems modelling at the national oceanography centre here in the uk. when you look at these temperature records, the ocean temperature records, the ocean temperature records which are rising and have
8:46 pm
been through the year, is there a sense within the scientific community that we are now perhaps at a tipping point and for the climate system? i a tipping point and for the climate s stem? ., ., . , a tipping point and for the climate sstem? ., ., . i- system? i would not necessarily say a ti -|n~ system? i would not necessarily say a tipping point- _ system? i would not necessarily say a tipping point. the _ system? i would not necessarily say a tipping point. the temperatures . a tipping point. the temperatures are spectacular remarkably above the previous levels that we have observed. however, it should not come as a surprise. it is quite a few factors aligned in 2023 and now in 2024 to keep these temperature is very high. so we have el nino, we have global warming, the global warming background and otherfactors that led to abnormally warm temperatures in the north atlantic and southern indian ocean as well as some serious regional heat waves like the one you observed around the uk and ireland last year. what like the one you observed around the uk and ireland last year.— uk and ireland last year. what do warmer sea _ uk and ireland last year. what do warmer sea temperatures - uk and ireland last year. what do warmer sea temperatures due - uk and ireland last year. what do warmer sea temperatures due to | uk and ireland last year. what do i warmer sea temperatures due to the weather system? in

8:48 pm
poking through the surface occasionally. in the coming months we would expect these warm temperatures as we have in the tropical equatorial pacific to be gradually replaced with a neutral and as we move further into the year, with cooler temperatures. most forecasting agencies do forecast predicting that there will be a la nina event in the second half of the year which could be quite pronounced with the end of this year. if that occurs, one would expect the temperatures global ocean temperatures global ocean temperatures to drop down from where they are now and probably also fall below the level that we observe in 2023. ., ., ., ,. , �* 2023. you are a scientist. but we have 'ust 2023. you are a scientist. but we have just been — 2023. you are a scientist. but we have just been hearing _ 2023. you are a scientist. but we have just been hearing from - 2023. you are a scientist. but we - have just been hearing from scotland that the new first minister is downgrading targets to make them more achievable, perhaps more palatable to the electorate. all over europe, policy is being watered

if you are a sci—fi fan — and especially so if you are a trekky — then you will be with the term warp speed. hang on to your hat while i explain what it is. so the thinking goes that these hypothetical engines, could manipulate the fabric of space—time itself, compressing the stuff in front of a spaceship and expanding it behind. that would create a "warp bubble" that allows a craft to travel at incredible velocities — many times faster than the speed of light. stuff of fiction. or is it? a new study suggests that in fact superfast propulsion may not forever elude us for ever. here to explain... ..the team from applied physics, the thinktank behind the study. lead author is jared fuchs and also here applied physics co—founder and ceo, gianni martire. thank you gentlemen for being with us. now, be very gentle. because you're talking to a physics moron here. how would a real life work

8:56 pm
and fog developing too. those temperatures, 8—11 celsius. so this is the picture for thursday, high pressure sitting pretty much on top of the uk. this weather front continues to push northwards to bring more rain to northern scotland but once again, tomorrow morning we could see some dense mist and fog patches first thing. but very quickly, the strong may sunshine will melt it away, we should start to see widespread sunshine for england and wales, northern ireland, central and southern scotland. it looks like the rain will become confined to the far north highlands and the northern isles through the day, so turning drier there. could see up to 20 celsius or so in central and southern scotland, 19—20 for belfast, 22—23 in the warmer spots for england and wales. as we move through thursday night, it looks like it will stay dry once again. light winds, a bit of mist and fog developing here and there. still a few spits and spots of rain for the north of scotland as that weather front loiters around. it could be a little milder as well to start friday, 9—12 celsius. friday, anotherfine looking day, plenty of sunshine around.
8:57 pm
a bit more cloud across scotland but even here, it should be dry, including the north of scotland. light southerly breezes, those temperatures reaching the mid—20s for the warmest spots in england and wales, up to 21 celsius for the central belt of scotland, 20 there for belfast. high pressure continues to bring fine weather into the weekend but as it pulls away to the east, it starts to allow low pressure and weather fronts to gang up on us from the south and from the west, so it will start to turn more unsettled gradually. could see some heavy showers across scotland on saturday, warm and sunny elsewhere. it could be very warm in the south on sunday — increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms, though, later on sunday.
