TOPIC 1: ARMED POLICE
Campaigners have hailed a decision by police to overturn the controversial policy of some officers carrying guns in public on regular patrols. Police Scotland announced yesterday it is ending the practise after coming under criticism from communities and politicians. Dave Thompson, MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch welcomed the decision saying: "The decision to strike a balance between the legitimate concerns of the public against the duty of the police to keep people safe, is a victory for common sense"

TOPIC 2: PARKINSON'S
At the start of a 22 night sell-out tour of Scotland Billy Connolly has made light of his health problems. Appearing on stage in Scotland for the first time since being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease the 71-year-old struggled with memory loss and was visibly affected by the disease but assure the audience "it doesn't bother me all that much." Despite extensive notes the 71-year-old had difficulty recalling some of his routine at times but poked fun at the crowd asking if they were "watching for me shaking". And, after receiving a rapturous reception when taking to the stage, told his fans: "You're only doing that because I'm no' well."
