Single year since 2007. But we have taken spending decisions and believe you me, iam proud of them. We are spending hundreds of millions of pounds to lift children out of poverty. Through the scottish Child Payment we are putting £26 a week directly into the hands of low income families for each eligible child, a measure described as the most significant intervention in tackling inequality in europe since the 1980s, that is what youre Snp Government is doing. And labour, the Labour Government is pushing tens of thousands of children in scotland into poverty by keeping the tory, now at the labourer, to child, by sticking to Tory Debt Rules and by extension forcing the whole of the uk to do the same. Labourer appeared to want us to abandon low income families, to abandon children in poverty. Delegates, we are not going to do that. Up lets instead resolved together it to abandon the whole rotten westminster system, that is what we should be abandoning. Applause conference, next week i wi

Just two drops as the un begins vaccinating against polio in gaza. A dose is easy to give, but carrying out a Mass Immunisation campaign in a Combat Zone is a huge challenge.

The army. With him, two other men who tried to escape. Killed in an air strike as they ran. Israel says all were involved in shooting and bombing attacks. The eastern areas ofjenin and its refugee camp have both been sealed off for the past three days and there are fresh reports of casualties including an 82 year old man who paramedics said was shot nine times. This morning the army pulled out of the camp. The destruction of their camp enough to remind residents of the war.

Last year, the west midlands had the highest rate of knife offences in england and wales with many victims in their teens. Police launched something called project guardian to try to combat the problem five years ago, but since then, the numbers have kept going up. Young people are in fear. Because they hear stories like this and think that they need to equip themselves with a knife. So you know, a lot of young people i mentor tell me i don t want to die. Or if in a situation that i ve got a knife, what do i do? outside the house, people come to lay flowers in tears. But there s a fear, too. There s a real danger around this area.
