I remind members of the Covid-related measures that are in place and that face coverings should be worn when moving around the chamber and across the Holyrood campus. The next item of business is a member's business debate on motion 2301, in the name of Fulton MacGregor, on human rights day 2021. The debate will be concluded without any questions being put. I would ask those members who would wish to speak in the debate to please press the request to speak buttons now, and I call on Fulton MacGregor to open the debate up to seven minutes, please, Mr MacGregor. It is a real privilege to bring this member's debate to the chamber today, and I want to thank those members across the chamber who supported the motion. Tomorrow marks human rights day 10 December, which is the day that the United Nations General Assembly adopted in 1948 the universal declaration of human rights. As members will mode out the declaration was and still is a milestone document that proclaims the unchallangable rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being, regardless of race, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or any other status. The theme this year relates to equality and article 1 of the UDHR, namely that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. The principles of equality and non-discrimination are at the heart of human rights, and now more than ever we need to show that human rights are at the centre of everything we do. The pandemic has shown that, as we make a recovery, people under rights have to be front and centre to ensure nobody is left behind. Just the other day, for example, in the equality and human rights committee, during an evidence session on women's unfair responsibility and unpaid care and domestic work, we heard quite clearly what I think we already knew that almost every aspect of the pandemic affected women more than men, every aspect from the virus itself to the restrictions imposed. For example, from working from home and balancing childcare and home schooling to a front-line workforce, mainly women, to even very simple things, like women taking their one-hour-per-day less exercise than men did. I would encourage members to read the evidence sessions from Tuesday, as that is just a snippet of it. However, whether it is based on the scientific advice or the political decisions, it is clear that the structural bias is there and present. We cannot get away from that, and the fact that restrictions are very similar across the world demonstrates that that is an issue beyond individual advisers and Governments. However, as we consider more restrictions, we must not make the same mistakes when or hopefully more like it if more restrictions are put in place. Let us make sure that they do not unequally harm women and lessons are learned from the past two years. More generally, as we build back and through this pandemic, we need to do it with the human rights grounding. As we remobilise our health services, improve our justice system, move to net zero and take the opportunity to reshape our education system for our children and young people, who, as we all know, have sacrificed so much already, they need to be first and foremost in our considerations as we build back. For example, I was glad earlier this year that reopening schools safely was prioritised above all else. On the issue of young people and human rights, I think that the Government has already demonstrated that through our commitment to the incorporation into law of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child to the maximum extent possible as soon as practical. I was on the committee that took the bill through Parliament in the last session, a bill unanimously agreed by the Parliament, a bill that sought to remedy any human rights violations that children and young people experience by Government and or public bodies in Scotland, as well as other reporting mechanisms around children's rights violations and how Scotland can best protect its young people and their rights. Members will not need me to remind them that the UK Government took the bill to court to stop it, and maybe that will tell you all that you need to know about the values and priorities of the two Governments. By moving on to the First Minister's advisory group that was established in 2017 to make recommendations on how Scotland can continue to lead, for example, in the field of human rights, this was an approach that was multidisciplinary with human rights being discussed through economic, social, cultural and environmental factors. The group published its full report in December 2018 with seven key recommendations, and in responding to the advisory group's report, the First Minister welcomed the proposal for a new statutory human rights framework for Scotland, put to be delivered by means of an act of the Scottish Parliament. The Scottish Government, as we know, is already committed via the 1819 programme for government to prioritise actions that can be taken to address the human rights and the quality impacts of Brexit. I know that the cabinet secretary might speak a bit more about that. As referred to in the motion, we have also seen the action through the establishment of a national task force for human rights leadership, which was established in 2019 to take forward the recommendations of the aforementioned advisory group. Its further remit was to design and deliver detailed proposals for new statutory human rights framework for Scotland, together with the associated requirements for a public participatory process and for capacity building initiatives. On the final report, which was published on 12 March 2021, it contained 30 recommendations that have been unanimously accepted by the Scottish Government. Upon publication of the report, Professor Miller noted how remarkable Scotland's increasing confidence in its international approach to human rights leadership and noted the progress that had been made since devolution. He talked through his experience throughout the process of developing human rights in Scotland from pre-devolution into the present and noted that the UK's exit from the EU and the Covid pandemic had put human rights into sharp focus at the forefront. The establishment of such a new statutory human rights framework is, in itself, an urgent and essential part of Scotland's value-based and sustainable post-Covid recovery. In view of the UN, the experience of Covid has taught all countries that those societies that have been called better were those that had already embedded economic and social rights and therefore had an increased economic and social resilience. Additionally, those societies that had already made efforts to reduce structural inequalities had feared better in responding to the pandemic or are fearing better in responding to the pandemic. Coming from that is the commitment of the Scottish Government to introducing a new human rights bill during this parliamentary session. It shows just how serious we are about our promise of ensuring fairness for all. The bill will incorporate into Scotland's law as far as possible with individual competence the international covenant on economic, social and cultural rights alongside three further new UN human rights treaties that will strengthen protections for women, disabled people and ethnic minority people. It will include a right to a healthy environment, a right for older people to ensure equal access to their human rights so that they can live a life of dignity and independence and provision to ensure equal access for everyone to the rights contained in the bill. I want to thank the cabinet secretary and Christina McKelvie for their work in leading the bill so far. I particularly want to wish Christina McKelvie a speedy recovery and return to this chamber to continue leading it up with the cabinet secretary. I am very much personally excited about the prospect of another such transformational bill coming before this Parliament soon. I am very sorry, but I apologise. In 1946, two years before the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights was adopted, Eleanor Roosevelt became chairperson of the UN Human Rights Commission and then went on to become the author of the UN Declaration. Isn't it remarkable back then, but singularly appropriate, that a woman was to lead one of the most important international declarations ever made? In her speech of 1948 in Paris, she had this to say, Basic human rights are simple and easily understood, freedom of speech and a free press, freedom of religion and worship, freedom of assembly and the right of petition, freedom from arbitrary arrest and punishment. The words are simple and clear, but regrettably they remain unfulfilled in many, perhaps most, corners of our world some 73 years later. Why, for example, is there still arbitrary imprisonment of the likes of Sansushi, Nazanine Zagari-Rackliff and Don Jean? Why are we still having to struggle to enshrine the most basic of rights? The answer, I think, lies in the words of Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor of both Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps. It is a problem of profound indifference, he said back in 1999. The political prisoner in his cell, the hungry children, the homeless refugees, not to respond to their plight, not to relieve their solitude by offering them a spark of hope is to exile them from human memory and in denying their humanity we betray our own. As members may know, I am concerned about the indifference shown by some towards the hard won rights of women. Rights that have always merited some attention that do not compromise the rights of others but that are coming under increasing threat too often. I think that at times we are all guilty of this. We pursue the rights of those with whom we sympathise but in such a way that we deny or compromise equally important rights of others. This is not the path to universal human rights. Freedom gained by denying freedom to others is no freedom at all and the antithesis of human rights. One of the most remarkable men who well understood the tyranny of seeking to gain power to deny the rights of others was Nelson Mandela. His words at his trial in 1964 are as relevant today as they were then. I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is not enough to celebrate human rights day. We need to stop our indifference to the suffering of others and we need to aspire to be remembered as Eleanor Roosevelt was remembered by Adlai Stevensson.  I now call Pam Gozel to be followed by Carol Mockant up to four minutes please Ms Gozel. Thank you Presiding Officer. I am honoured to stand here today to represent the Scottish Conservatives. I will start by saying that I fully support today's motion and welcome the Parliament's acknowledgement of human rights day. It is on this day that we must reflect on the progress that we have made when it comes to human rights and inequalities in our society. Let me be clear, Presiding Officer, we have vast room for improvement in our goal to become a world leader in human rights. We have heard from various MSPs, advocacy groups, charities and so on throughout this Parliament session about the impact that the pandemic has had on many people in Scotland and all of whom have been impacted by the pandemic in one way or another. Some stories have been hard to hear. Of course there are those who have been especially hard to hit by the pandemic. Young people, women, BME groups, low earners, people with disabilities and low in parents. Therefore, it must be a priority of this Parliament to ensure that we place the rights-based approach at the heart of our recovery from the pandemic. I am proud to serve just like my member spoke to Fulton MacGregor on the Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee and to see the hard work that is conducted by all the organisations and individuals involved. Their dedication and commitment deserve nothing but our praise and thanks. Presiding Officer, the pandemic has further exposed structural inequalities that exist in Scotland and we now have the unique opportunity to learn from that. It goes without saying that I recognise the work that is conducted by the First Minister's advisory group on human rights leadership and the recommendation of the national task force for human rights leadership. I therefore support the Scottish Government's commitment to introducing a human rights bill based on those recommendations, and I eagerly await further details. However, we must not forget that those children who have been needlessly affected by the pandemic continue to be affected even today. I speak for everyone across the chamber when I say that children's rights are of the utmost importance. Distressing evidence suggests that, during the pandemic, there has been a raise in child abuse, neglect, exposure to domestic abuse, educational inequalities and digital exclusions. The evidence reminds us of the importance of the incorporation into the domestic law of the UNCRC to the maximum extent possible, which would maximise children's rights across Scotland. The Scottish Conservatives support the UNCRC bill at all stages and work constructively to amend and improve the bill throughout the passage through Parliament. Since the member mentioned today that the Parliament voted to pass the bill, it was his party that ignored the advice that it was exceeding its legislative competencies. It was his party that is responsible for delaying the incorporation of children's rights into domestic law. It was his party that is delaying the passing of the legislation, as we have yet to hear when the bill will return to the Parliament. The longer we await a revised bill, the longer those rights are unprotected by domestic law. I therefore call on the Scottish Government to act with urgency to bring the bill back to Parliament along with my colleagues on those benches. I await further news and when this will be. In conclusion, I fully support the motion under discussion. I welcome the Scottish Government and the cross-party commitments to advancing human rights in Scotland. We all have a responsibility here, and we must continue to work together across the chamber to advance human rights in Scotland. I now call Cara Mocken to be followed by Stephanie Callaghan up to four minutes. I welcome the commitment to incorporate into law the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. It is a measurable and moral step that we must take together as a country. I thank Fulton MacGregor for bringing this full debate to the chamber. No-one will be surprised to hear me say that we can always do a lot more. I would like to focus on some tangible rights that we should be pursuing here at home, but I must reflect on a broader concern. I would love to see human rights becoming a universal standard in which we can build a better world, but in reality that is far from the case. We only need to cast our memories back to the fortnight ago when 27 people drowned in the English Channel trying to reach our shores. A news story far too many people have already forgotten about pushed aside by a daily churn of the 24-hour news cycle. What has happened to their rights? Did they disappear when they left home for a better life? It is truly a shameful situation and we must keep their story in the spotlight. Their fate does not surprise me, however, when we have a Tory Government at Westminster that thinks that it is funny to ignore their own rules and laugh at Covid restrictions while people die. You can only imagine their lack of concern for people beyond our borders and their story must remain in the spotlight. However, as I return here to Matys at home, I do not need to tell my fellow MSPs that we have children sitting in school too hungry to concentrate and parents not eating meals so that their children can be fed. In 2019, 31 per cent of single-parent households in Scotland, with one or more child reported being food insecure, and one in 10 people living in the UK are malnourished or at risk of being malnourished. Labour-led councils in North Lanarkshire and North Ayrshire have taken positive steps toward addressing hunger during school holidays with the club 365 and summer voucher schemes, steps that are very welcome, I am sure, across the chamber. However, the Scottish Government has to do more and be more radical in ensuring that they are being rolled out right across Scotland. However, the fact that we need these schemes also confirms the desperate need for a right to food, a right that is not currently enshrined in Scottish law. Fortunately, thanks to my colleague Rhoda Grant and previously Elaine Smith, we will soon have the opportunity to secure that right here at home. I ask everyone in the chamber, particularly the backbenchers in the Government, to support that at the first opportunity that comes to them. Linked to that as part of a wider concern about health, the UNCRC states that children should have the right to leisure, play and culture, the state that Governments must play an active role in ensuring that. How are we doing in Scotland? A report commissioned by the Observatory for Sport in Scotland highlighted that there is evidence of decreasing participation rates in sports outside school lessons and a high level of drop-out by girls reaching their teenage years. We also know that between 2014 and 2018, the average charges per hour for ffifoside football, bybwnton squash, table tennis, golf and swimming for kids all increased. Furthermore, participation in physical activity and sport is considerably lower for those living in the most deprived areas compared to those in the least deprived areas. That is a division that will last past childhood and is one that accounts in part for increased mortality throughout people's lives. I am asking the Scottish Government, they must do more if they want to claim that they are taking an active part in children's right to leisure, play and culture. To conclude, it is positive that the Scottish Government appears keen to adopt the use of the UNCRC into Scottish law, but it is equally concerning that hunger is on the rise and the cost of sport in Scotland is unaffordable in getting worse. If we can recognise the importance of securing formal rights that will push us forward as a country and give the next generation a platform from which they can flourish, then we can begin to change that trajectory. The UNCRC is a welcome start, but, as I often say in this chamber, we have plenty more to do. I thank Fulton MacGregor for bringing that to the chamber. Tomorrow, as has been said already, we celebrate human rights in commemoration of the day when the UN General Assembly adopted the universal declaration of human rights in 1948. That declaration forms the backbone of the human rights architecture of our societies, where each of us, without discrimination, has the right to live and thrive in peace and safety. Since its adoption, laws and policies embracing human rights have made us freer. Children can assert their needs, women can make their own choices, persons with disabilities can live more independently. We now all enjoy safeguards against her name abuse, but those privileges are not to be taken for granted. Worse, they are under threats. Human rights are far more than legal concepts. They are the very essence of humanity. Denynt them and you deny one's humanity. They are inalible. And yet, as I know, too often people try to divide us. We are told that those in the margins of society are like aliens from another planet. Too often we hear the word them instead of us. Those narratives propped up by the right wing media and reinforced by the policies of some so-called democracies, including Westminster, must be challenged. Human rights must be at the centre of economic policy, housing, healthcare and education. By doing that, we can create a human rights-based economy that supports better, fairer and more sustainable societies for present and future generations. In order to embed a culture of human rights, putting those most marginalised at the centre of policies, we must incorporate rights into law. In Scotland, we will incorporate four international human rights treaties into law through the new human rights bill, making those rights enforceable in real. As we recover from the pandemic, we have the chance to reset. Yet, at this most pivotal juncture, as Scotland looks to close the gaps in rights provision, the UK Government is moving in the opposite direction, showing time and again a willingness to abandon human rights. Earlier this year, the Scottish Government unanimously backed the enshrining of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child into Scots law, ensuring accountability when things go wrong, but that was challenged by the UK Government. Last night, the Nationality and Borders Bill passed its third reading in the UK Parliament, and the bill judges a person's right to claim asylum according to how they arrived in the UK. Not need or the level of danger. It proposes that millions of dual nationals could be stripped of their citizenship by the Home Office without warning, creating a second tier category of citizenship in the UK, and discrimination is at the heart of such proposals. Coupled with the police crime and sentencing bill, which will seriously restrict the right to peaceful process, the UK Government is heading in a dangerous direction, and we must push back. In Scotland, we have an entirely different vision, one where we treat all those who find themselves loving among us with dignity and respect. As we remember the events of Kenya Street 2, where ordinary people stood up for their neighbours detained by the Home Office raid, it was a heartening show of solidarity, and local communities must unite against cruel and divisive immigration policy. The way in which we treat those in the margins determines how we progress as a society as a whole. Our actions reflect who we are and who we want to become. That is why I campaign for an independent Scotland, grounded in civic nationalism, a Scotland that embraces and opens an outward society, that is empowered to tackle the root causes of inequality and injustice, and that incorporates a human rights approach to governance that leads no one behind. Like others, I begin by thanking Fulton MacGregor for bringing forward his motion and this debate today. Tomorrow is human rights day, which also marks the end of the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence. I would like to take this opportunity to thank colleagues from across the chamber for their contributions in recent debates about women's rights during these 16 days. This year's human rights day theme relates to equality and article 1 of the universal declaration of human rights. All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. The principles of equality and non-discrimination are at the heart of human rights, but we know only too well that here in Scotland and around the world people are not all born equal. A baby born in Somalia faces an infant mortality rate nearly 25 times higher than that of a baby born here in the United Kingdom. Women are more likely to bear the brunt of global health crises in every aspects of their lives, from employment to access to healthcare. People fleeing war and famine are drowning in the English Channel, as we have already heard, because of inhumane and uncompassionate approaches to foreign policy. Black people in Scotland are more likely to face discrimination in the workplace and in access to housing. Trans people face exclusion from and barriers to accessing vital, life-saving health services. Inequality is everywhere we look, but none of that is inevitable. The structural inequalities that exist are a product of political and economic choices and we can make different choices. Having equalities and human rights at the centre of what we do can help us to identify the better choices that we can and must make. The experiences of individuals and communities around the globe never mind the history of the last century and show us the importance of the centrality of human rights in all that we do. We know that we want to see a Scotland where people understand their rights and those of their neighbours, where they feel valued and included, where they are empowered to claim their own rights and to stand in solidarity, compassion and justice to help others to achieve theirs too. We want Scotland to play a role in ensuring that this vision does not stop at our borders. We must play our role to fight for equality around the world. During the coming year, we will see the beginning of the consultation on how we embed those principles in the important work that we will be doing. The human rights bill that we want to bring will, as far as possible, with the now-devolved competence, incorporate key human rights treaties into Scots law. We have already heard about many of them this afternoon, including the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the Convention of the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women and the Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. I mention them by name because they are important and this will be a world-breaking legislation when we deliver it. Beyond those international treaties, we must also ensure that we follow international best practice and including a right to a healthy environment, as Fulton Greger mentioned. Equal access for all, especially those older and LGBTQI-plus people, to the rights that must be contained in the bill. Because putting human rights into law is only the start of the work that we must do, we then need decisive, bold action to design and implement the policies, services and institutions that will make those rights a reality, not only for us in Scotland but further afield, too. Our vision and our imperative for action is a Scotland that is fairer, more inclusive, more progressive and more equal, and a Scotland that can play its part in making the world fairer, more inclusive, more progressive and more equal. That is our work. I would like to thank Fulton Greger for securing this important debate to acknowledge human rights day, which will be marked around the world tomorrow. I would also like to draw members' attention to my declaration of interest as a trustee of the Freedom Declared Foundation, a charity that exists to support the right of everyone to freedom of thought, conscience, religion or belief. I draw members' attention to my membership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Given the history and origins of my church and its earliest adherents, members will understand that freedom to live in peace, according to one's beliefs and conscience, devoid of offence toward others, is a matter of deeply felt importance to me. The First President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Joseph Smith, declared the human right to exercise that free independence of mind, which heaven has so graciously bestowed upon the human family, is one of its choice gifts. There are 30 articles in the UN Declaration of Human Rights. All of them are worthy of reflection and consideration, but due to time constraints today, my focus will fall on article 18, which reads, Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This right includes freedom to change his religion or belief and freedom either alone or in community with others and in public or private to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance. I want to talk about an important aspect of freedom of religion or belief, and that is the way that the Scottish Government has treated public religious worship during the pandemic. Since my election to this place, I have asked ministers many questions about places of worship, about the differentiated set of restrictions that still apply to places of worship compared with other indoor settings, specifically in relation to the wearing of face coverings. I cannot see any evidence to justify those differences, and answers, I am afraid, there have come none. There was also widespread alarm at the Scottish Government's order to close places of worship and what that implied about how ministers perceived the human right of freedom of religion or belief. The Court of Sessions subsequently ruled against the Scottish Government's ban on public worship. Lord Bred said in his ruling quote, It is not clear that the respondents have fully appreciated the importance of article 9, that is the article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights. They have admittedly paid lip service to article 9 by referring to it, but there is no evidence that they have accorded it the importance which such a fundamental right deserves. So I asked the minister what lessons have been learned by the Scottish Government from this, what steps have been taken or being taken to increase the levels of appreciable religious literacy among ministers and their officials. In the western world, the growth of aggressive secularism is in my view an undisguised attempt to marginalise religion in the public sphere. Only last week we heard about the memo sent by the EU to member states asking them to stop using the word Christmas in the name of inclusivity. This is an absurd statement. Removing the word Christmas excludes Christians who want to talk openly about their faith. We should not regulate what members of the public can and cannot say and we must allow the expression of faith in the public sphere to flourish. I agree with Bishop John Keenan when he recently said that while freedom of religion and their belief is enshrined in law in the UK, it is not always respected by society. Last week, a group of young British Jews were celebrating Hanukkah on Oxford Street in London. During those celebrations, a group of young men started spitting at them and making Nazi salutes, an appalling anti-Semitic attack. Earlier this year, vandals damaged the lords cave at the Carfin Grotto in Motherwall. I listened with interest to the speech by the new member of Parliament for Adrian Shots and Nan Khwazar in the House of Commons last month. It was a deeply personal speech about Islamophobia and she listed many shocking incidents, including petrol bombing of her mosque. We do not need to agree with someone to respect them for who they are and what they believe. It is a fundamental human right—respect. The United Kingdom is rightly seen as a global leader in promoting and defending freedom of religion and belief. We must be alert to see that freedom of religion or belief is not only protected in law but respected, appreciated and embraced as fundamental to our values as a people. It is a privilege to follow Stephen Kerr, who has, I know for many years, talked about the protection of religion and non-religion. It raises the interesting question that we hear so much about the talk of human rights, the intention of human rights, but we need to look at the results and how we are empowering those people to enforce their human rights. I welcome the opportunity to contribute to today's debate. I fear that we are living at a time where there is an erosion of human rights, where instead we need to strengthen and advance them. The way we do this is by reducing the inequalities and pursuing equality, as this year's theme reminds us. At the heart, we have heard, of course, about the universal declaration of human rights. The moment when people with any disability—our carers, our young, our old—every individual feels that they have the ability and are supported to contribute to their full ability. Because of that, human rights must be at the heart of our fight against inequality. The motion talks of the Scottish Government's commitment to incorporate the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Children into Scottish law to the maximum extent possible as soon as is practicable. Where is this commitment in action? It is just in words at the moment. Let us focus on what we can do here to implement the UNCRC in Scotland in real ways. Most importantly, the focus being on the lives of children that this impacts on having their rights incorporated into Scottish law and protected. I mention this because there is a need to respond to the Supreme Court ruling. Why has this not been done? It is turning into a debate about an anger at another place. Rather than one about how we can best protect our children here, pursue a better and more equal future for them. I think that this Chamber can agree that on this issue of human rights, it is not a constitutional battleground. It is what we can give our young people here in Scotland. It is of the utmost importance. The Scottish Government follows through on the commitment because it is our young people who are of the utmost importance. This should still be a priority, not a tick box exercise because of something that was completed and lost in the Supreme Court. Finally, we are reminded today that having human rights rests at the centre of our policy and the action is the best way for us to fight inequality. It is important that we remember that this is of a particular significance when we look at our children and young people of this generation, the Covid generation, those who are at greater risk of being left out with extreme disparity, poverty and inequality. That is why the UNCRC is so important for building a better and more equal Scotland for the future. What is the Scottish Government doing to ensure on tomorrow's human rights day? Our children's rights are championed and protected. Surely it can't be, as Michelle Thompson says, just profound indifference. I hope that I can hear an announcement of when this Bill will return to this place where I ffervently believe it will have cross-party support to become law for the children to start their empowerment, to not only demand and hear talk about their rights, but to have a vehicle to enforce it. I now call on Cabinet Secretary Shona Robison to respond to the debate up to seven minutes. I begin by thanking my colleague Fulton MacGregor for bringing the debate to the chamber today. I am delighted to conclude what has been a mainly constructive debate and some very good contributions across the chamber. When it was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights set out the fundamental human rights that form a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations. As we have heard today, it also proclaimed a principle that is central to the purpose and practice of the Scottish Parliament, the universal truth that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. The human rights day is therefore a reminder of our duty to respect, protect and fulfil human rights. As Michelle Thomson said, the need to end the indifference to the plight of others is crucially important. Carol Malkin reminded us of the plight of asylum seekers and refugees and the recent tragedies that we have all witnessed. Stephanie Callaghan was right to highlight concerns about the UK nationality and borders bill. Ensuring that internationally recognised human rights are given practical everyday effect is a core function of the Scottish Government. As we have heard from members today, the Covid-19 crisis has brought that duty into sharp focus and Pam Gosol gave some powerful examples of that. We are determined that human rights should be at the forefront of our on-going work. In the coming year, we will begin consulting on a strategy to embed equality, inclusion and human rights across the whole of the public sector. That will be critical in helping Scotland to recover from the impact of Covid and to build back better in a way that delivers for every member of society, including those who have been worst affected and have suffered the greatest disadvantage and, of course, Fulton MacGregor outlined the disproportionate negative impact of the pandemic on women, as did Maggie Chapman. As members have also mentioned, we are now developing a new human rights bill for Scotland, as part of implementing the bold and ambitious recommendations presented in March by the national task force for human rights leadership. This new bill will enhance economic, social and cultural rights and rights for women, disabled people, minority ethnic people and older people and LGBTI people. Recognising the bill as an opportunity for all of Scotland to lead on human rights, we have established internal and external governance and engagement forums as part of the bill's progression. That includes an executive board comprised of senior decision makers from across the public sector, an advisory board comprised of key stakeholder groups with expertise in the rights that will be included in the bill. We are also continuing to give priority to ensuring that people with lived experience of facing barriers to accessing their rights have a voice at the heart of the bill and will be heard and, of course, importantly inform its development and delivery. The Scottish Government has committed to consulting on the human rights bill in the coming year and will ensure that the consultation is developed with the assistance of stakeholders to listen and learn from their feedback to make the consultation as accessible as we can. Carol Mocken referred to food and, of course, the Scottish Government's view is that a right to food is best considered and taken forward in the context of this new human rights bill rather than a separate bill, which I think would risk creating a fragmented approach to the incorporation of human rights. We are also, as many members have mentioned, the UNCRC bill, and we remain committed to the incorporation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child to the Maximum Extent Possible. Incorporating the UNCRC into Scottish law will deliver a revolution in children's rights in Scotland, as described by Fulton MacGregor. We are therefore urgently but also carefully considering the most effective way forward for this important legislation following the UK Supreme Court judgment. The Deputy First Minister will come back to Parliament with our proposals as soon as practical. It is not the case that the UNCRC is going to become incorporated in any other legislation, is it? As I said, those are complex legal issues that many of us have been involved in looking at. What is important is that those have been considered carefully and that it is brought back to Parliament as soon as possible. I am sure that the member and others will be informed as soon as possible around the timetable for that. I would gently point out to Pam Gosall that we would not be in this position had the UK Government not gone to the Supreme Court in the first place, but that is a mainly consensual debate and I want to keep it that way. 2021 also marked the 70th anniversary of the UK's ratification of the European Convention on Human Rights, which was incorporated into UK law by the Human Rights Act 1998. It is no exaggeration to say that the Human Rights Act, in combination with the Scotland Act, has transformed human rights in Scotland and is a central pillar of Scotland's constitutional settlement, albeit there is further work to be done. I therefore urge the UK Government, which is considering its response to the independent human rights act review, to step back from any attempt to undermine or erode existing human rights protections. The Scottish Government will robustly oppose any attack on the human rights act. I invite members to reaffirm the long-standing view of this Parliament that there must be no changes to the human rights act without our explicit consent. I am sure that something Stephen Kerr will agree with. Thanks to the cabinet secretary for giving away. Given the fact that she is running out short on time, I wonder whether she might reflect on the questions that I asked about freedom of religion and her belief in relation to the court of session judgment and also on the general appreciation of this freedom by ministers going forward and how that will be enhanced. I did hear what Stephen Kerr said. Difficult decisions were made all during the crisis and are still being made during the pandemic. Those decisions are not made in a way to single out a particular community or do things that are deliberately difficult. The public inquiry will be an important forum to look at any lessons learned across the board. I am sure that that can be an aspect that Stephen Kerr might wish to pursue through that route, because we should learn lessons going forward—important lessons. On marking human rights day, it is important that we look at rights across the board. So much is achieved for human rights around the world by brave individuals who are prepared to stand up for the principles that are set out in the universal declaration of human rights. For our part, the Scottish Government will continue to do everything that it can to uphold those values to make rights real for people in Scotland and to stand up for human rights wherever they are under threat.


As telegraph networks sprung up in different countries, the benefits of joining them became very apparent and in fact the first interconnection treaty was signed between Prussia and Austria such that messages could be carried between the cities of Berlin and Vienna and this was in late 1849 and shortly thereafter in fact in early 1850s a cable was laid between Britain and France. Now this was not a very long cable but this was nonetheless a landmark event because it connected the two major imperial powers of the time and it was also the longest underwater cable laid to this point and within just a couple of years it didn't take very long most of the other European countries had these interconnection treaties such that messages could travel between all the different countries and of course today we would call these agreements as peering agreements where different networks could carry messages between each other and also share their capacity which led to more growth within each of the individual networks and of course the more networks and the more people using them the higher the need for more peering agreements and more peering agreements led to more growth which established this virtuous cycle and of course this also enabled a number of innovations in the underlying technology and the first of these and perhaps the most important are improvements in the actual copper cable and the installation of the cable so the early cables failed very often and they were not insulated well against the elements because the technology simply was not there we did not know how to do that so as more of these cables especially the underwater cables between France and England were laid we got a lot better at creating more reliable cables at the same time recall that a lot of the inefficiencies in the early telegraph systems were due to inefficiencies within the office so another big area for innovation was automation and there's probably no better example than Edison's stock ticker which is what you see here and this was effectively a remote printer where an operator on one side would send a message and on the other side you would have the stock ticker so you didn't need the second operator instead this machine would print out the actual message so this became very very popular and then last but definitely not least was the rapid adoption of what became to be known as capsule pipelines and the way this worked is that once the message arrived on the wire the message would actually be the physical message would be put into a capsule at the telegraph office and it would travel through quite literally a series of tubes to the destination so this is the physical message not the electric signal so for example the first deployment was between the telegraph office in London and the London stock exchange where this distance was only about 200 meters but it enabled it nonetheless enabled much quicker delivery of messages both between the telegraph station and this London stock exchange and these systems were deployed all over many different cities in a very quick order such that by the mid 1850s you already saw the emergence of the Victorian internet where multiple interconnected networks could carry messages from Britain to France or Austria on the order of minutes but even all of this pales in comparison to the grand vision that one man Cyrus Field had for the telegraph and specifically he wanted to connect North America to Britain which is a distance of approximately 4300 kilometers but he did much more than dream about it he managed to find investors and build a cable long enough to have his first expedition in 1857 to attempt to actually lay this cable and they made it about halfway there so they laid about 2000 kilometers of this cable at which point it failed and unfortunately they had to return and abandon the entire 2000 kilometers of this cable but that didn't stop him in 1858 with a better cable they set out on the second expedition which unfortunately also suffered the same fate they failed once again but within the same year he was back they got the extra 2000 kilometers of cable that they needed and set out on a second expedition and this one believe it or not actually succeeded so in 1858 they had the first instance of a cable from Britain to Newfoundland in Canada and then from Newfoundland they had another cable to the New York City and this was definitely a landmark event because the world shrunk by an order of magnitude with this cable in place and on August 18 1858 the first telegraph message between North America and Britain were sent between a president of the United States and Queen Victoria and the message was only 98 words but nonetheless it actually took about 16 hours to send this message unfortunately the cable wasn't very good and at the time we didn't have the knowledge for how to interpret these very weak signals because the signal degraded as it traveled across this very long distance and not only that but within two weeks because of a number of factors the cable actually failed so we were able to send some messages but shortly thereafter the the cable went bad once again which of course was a major setback but in a true example of grit and perseverance Cyrus Field nonetheless managed to raise more money later it took him a little bit of time it was not until 1865 that he would make his fourth attempt to lay this cable and believe it or not this one once again failed and a lot of people thought that this was just not meant to be but in 1866 he tried again and not only did he actually complete the cable but he also fixed the cable that they lost in 1865 so by 1866 we actually had two operating cables between North America and Britain and the world was never the same after that with two of these cables in place we could actually transport about eight words per minute reliably between North America and Britain and the time to deliver a message shrunk from literally weeks by ship to just on the order of minute for a short message and once we knew this was possible that we could actually have a transatlantic cable that reliably sends telegraph messages across these very long distances we started seeing a lot more of these and we began to interconnect remote parts of the world and to put this into perspective let's look at some numbers so by 1874 we had over 1 million kilometers of telegraph cable laid across the world which is a huge number and not only that but we also had over 50 000 kilometers of underwater cable and all of this combined enabled 20 000 plus cities and towns to interconnect with each other which dramatically changed how we communicate in 1844 a message sent from London to Mumbai would take 10 weeks and by 1874 once we had all of this telegraph cable in place the same message would take four minutes so if you do the math this works out to be about 25 000 times faster which is also the single biggest improvement in the overall latency throughout the history because if we wanted to make this four minute delivery time 25 000 times faster once again we would actually have to travel faster than the speed of light or rather a message we have to travel faster than the speed of light which of course is impossible so this period between 1844 to 1874 is where we've seen the largest absolute improvement in the overall latency and it is definitely not an understatement to say that the Victorian internet was already in place by the late 1800s we had different networks they were interconnected or if you prefer peering agreements were established between the different countries we had the underwater cables and we were able to communicate between the most part of the world


File Overview The Foundation is not the only group with an interest and investment in the paranormal and metaphysical. There are many other groups in existence who possess, use or attempt to create SCP objects either for their own personal gain or for the protection of mankind. Some are rival organizations, some are splinter groups of the Foundation and some are trusted associates of the Foundation. In any case, it has been deemed necessary to create and distribute a brief on what agencies the Foundation knows about and or stands towards them. Gamers Against Weed Overview Gamers Against Weed is a loosely organized confederation of anomalous individuals as well as associates thereof that produce or procure anomalies for satirical purposes and or for their own amusement. Originally, however, they have also been implicated in supplying anomalies to left-wing political organizations. While Gamers Against Weed organizes its activities primarily over internet channels, several real-world locations associated with the group have been identified and raided. Current intelligence suggests that Gamers Against Weed is in the process of creating and distributing a set of anomalous humanoids to parody Dr. Wondertainment's Little Mister series and that it is aware of the Foundation's operations if not its exact nature. Detainment of Gamers Against Weed members has proven more difficult than anticipated. Some of the group's organizers are believed to possess reality-altering capabilities either in their own right or through access to outside resources. Current operations are focused on the containment of related anomalies and the identification and analysis of Gamers Against Weed's most dangerous members. The Global Occult Coalition, GOC Overview The GOC was created in the aftermath of World War II from the remnants of defecting occultists, physicists, priests, and scientists from Nazi, Soviet, and Allied states brought together and formed by the Allies as the world stage broadened. So, too, did the number of countries that had their hands in the GOC until it became what it is today. The GOC are a largely political force, seen of cells as the police of the paranormal world. They pry themselves on destroying supernatural entities and make use of the most high-tech experimental technology possible obtained from their benefactors. Many potential SCPs have been destroyed by them before the Foundation could obtain and contain them. They have been both on the side of the Foundation and against it at times, depending on the situation. They largely hold the Foundation in contempt for their use and containment of SCP items rather than their out-and-out destruction. The GOC has respected the Foundation's formidable might enough to leave it mostly alone, although there have been some questionable incidents with which the GOC have strictly denied involvement. Evidence of the GOC are to be treated with suspicion. Gru Division P Overview Originally known as the Chudhakan, or Fourth Department of Normal Occurrences Commission, it was established in early 1935 by direct decree of J. V. Stullin, its first task being the investigation of the murder of S. M. Kirov. During World War II, the Commission expanded into the newly reorganized Gru as Division P, Psychotronics, working to counteract anomalous threats from the SS, Ananerbi, and the Vatican, and to capture and study anomalous artifacts both at home and abroad for the benefit of the Soviet government. Division P has carried on with its role throughout the Cold War, making Foundation operations in the countries of the coming turn difficult. After 1991, rapid restructuring coupled with budget cuts and the decommissioning or sale of significant assets resulted in numerous defections of their personnel. A significant proportion of both Chaos Insurgency and MC&D operatives in Eastern Europe originated from Gru Division P ranks, and the flooding of the European black market with anomalous items formally in their possession. Currently, this group of interest poses little direct threat to the Foundation.

Our next speaker, Rick Housley, he's going to talk about a reverse engineering embedded systems and memory mapped IO accesses with Ghidra. So take it away. All right, awesome. Good afternoon guys. Like he said, my name is Rick Housley. I'm gonna be talking about Perch and as he mentioned it's a Ghidra plugin for adding some memory mapped IO functionality. Right now I work at United Technologies. I'm part of the product security red team on aviation platforms. Previous to that, I worked at Redblown Security where I did a whole bunch of electromagnetic fall injection research and more recently, Thring-Greacrat, the big Cisco route of trust disclosure. And actually if you stick around in like an hour, John is going to be talking about that. All right, so what are we going to see today? We're going to do a quick review of Ghidra for those of you who aren't as familiar. We'll talk a little bit about memory mapped IO and why diversity is actually really painful in this regard. You know, the current methods and tools for, you know, reverse engineering hardware and dealing with peripherals right now and then kind of the solutions that I came up to solve that. I'll briefly mention formal grammar and we'll see how it's actually really cool. And despite having formal in the name, it's not quite as scary. And then at some point I'll hopefully show a working demo and talk about extending the extension and some of the future work that can come out of tools like this. All right, so cool. Ghidra, for those of you who have never heard of Ghidra, Ghidra is NSA's kind of open source, now open source equivalent of Ida Pro. It's really great and really cool in that it has a full decompiler built in. It supports a whole bunch of processors and it has a really fantastic scripting and plug-in architecture that allows you to augment it instead of bugging ill-talk about something new. So this is what it looks like. It was released in March. Also it has Undo, which is kind of magical, even though Ida now apparently has Undo. So this is what it looks like, a typical view of it. You have your disassembly.  And then like I mentioned, a really great feature is the decompiler that it has as well. I'm not going to really dive into the basics of Ghidra, but if you're interested and want to jump in, I would highly recommend this talk from Alexi and Jeremy. They do a really great job of kind of easing that learning curve into developing and reverse engineering with Ghidra. What I'm going to talk about is this new window that's an add-on. It's called Perch. And that allows you to kind of explore black box hardware and their kind of peripheral interactions. But before we see that demo and how that works, let's talk a little bit about memory mapped IO. So unlike, you know, typical OS reverse engineering, when you're dealing with embedded systems, you often really care about the peripherals. And those peripherals are often mapped directly in memory. So, you know, the processor and IO devices are mapped using memory addresses. So if you want to flip a pin, you're going to write to some address in memory. If you want to set up some peripherals for SPI or your interactions, those are all just directly in memory that you need to write to or read from. So this is what memory maps look like when you're reading tons and tons of data sheets. And the one thing that I really want to point out here is that these are both STM32s, the same, you know, family-ish, and they have completely different memory maps. And that's kind of where this complexity and why memory mapped IO is really hard when you use tools like Ghidra or IDA is they have a really great support for the core. They have, you know, all the disassembly for ARM and PowerPC and everything like that. But then when you're dealing with these different peripherals that are being written to, they can't support every single processor. And so what you end up having is just a really poorly kind of shown peripheral interactions in firmware. And we're going to take a look at that right here. So this is actually the firmware you're going to be seeing is some Vaporware. It's some IoT VAPE firmware. So it's using this little NRF ARM core. And this is what it kind of looks like in IDA when you first start scrolling through, when you first open it up. And what you see here is, well, really nothing is kind of the problem. It's really hard to tell what's going on. So the first thing that you'd want to do is you want to go open up that datasheet, finds their kind of memory map and start augmenting Ghidra's memory mapping, where you add the peripheral chunks. And now after that, Ghidra is going to start recognizing, all right, this is an address in the peripheral region. But this is still pretty useless. So you see up top, it's loading or writing to some address up to the four C thousand range. And so then run back to the datasheet, read, you know, get 60 pages, find your memory map, and then you say, all right, cool, this is dealing with a temperature sensor that's built into this chip. And then for every single one of these, so then you can go label that, find all the registers, label all those registers. And you know, there's, you know, dozens per each one of these peripherals. So it kind of becomes a major pain to do this for one thing. And then when you get a new project, or you want to start something new, you have to do all over again.  And it's kind of a pain. And somebody very smart realized on the Ghidra GitHub, they're like, Hey, for ARM chips, there's this great thing called an SVD file. And what an SVD file is, is it's just a description of all the peripherals for a certain processor. And so they're like, Hey, somebody should write a parser, and parse this format, and then augment Ghidra with it. And, and somebody beat me to that. And that was Thomas Roth, who's speaking next. And he released this loader, which is essentially perched for, for ARM things. Now, unfortunately, and I would check this out, this is open source and available right now, unlike perch, which is going through open source review. But unfortunately, I don't always have the privilege of working with ARM stuff. Sometimes I have to work with kind of random architectures and power PC. And these SVD files are not created for things other than ARM, and they're not available from the manufacturer. So I kind of need a different solution than the SVD parser that Thomas Roth supplies. So on a site side tangent, back when I was working on RedBloom doing some development, we use this amazing tool called a lotterbok. This is the lotterbok trace 32 software. And it's really expensive, but it's expensive for a reason. And that's because it has amazing support for everything. It's a JTAG to plug it in. You can step through all your instructions. And there's this one magical little window where at any given point, you can just see all of the peripherals and you know what's going on in them. And it's just it's really clean and nice. And this is something you kind of write off as like, Oh, that's just cool. But then when you're using tools like GEDRA, you're like, wait, I want that. But in GEDRA. And like I said, they support lotterbok supports pretty much every processor. There's a 942 supported families.  And I say families because memory map diode change is not just in your family, but from processor to processor within a family. So this includes if you have a family, all of those other sub processors within that family, that whole STM32F, whatever line underneath it as well. So how does lotterbok do it? How do they have all this support? Well, they painstakingly work with the manufacturers to create these peripheral files. And this is what a peripheral file looks like, a little similar to the SVD ones, but a lot more painful actually. But they have great support of even at the bit level for inner register what each bit means. These are massive, you know, 100,000 lines of really structured text. And unfortunately, they do some wonky stuff too. I don't know if you can see this here, but they decide to have like fully evaluatable expressions built into this document. So that's where this tool comes in. So what is Perch? It's this peripheral file conversion helper tool that integrates with Ghedra. It takes that peripheral file, you know, massive 100,000 line file. It then parses that file using some formal grammar. And then, you know, you can run some, if you're interested in certain peripherals, you can filter those out, that kind of thing. It translates it into intermediary, and then you can load that into Ghedra. Hopefully at some point you could also load that into Ida and augment it that way. All right, I mentioned formal grammars. So this is the how the parsing works. So because this file is heavily nested, doing a kind of line by line approach parsing, I kind of needed a better way of doing that. And I found that formal grammars are fantastic for this, and you basically take this specification from, you know, LotRBox PDFs, and then you load that into this kind of form you see on the left, which just kind of describes all the different possibilities in a line.  And then you can have an interpreter go and run through the syntax tree and generate kind of the, that intermediary representation for Ghedra after that. So you see this input line on the left. It's some of that crazy math that they love putting in all their files. And then it converts that down all down to that tree and then interpret this and evaluate it to actually just the number that it's supposed to be and then go and label that in Ghedra. All right, so that's, I think, enough talking for now. I'm going to show you a little bit about what Perch actually looks like in Ghedra. And we're going to start off actually in the same spot that I had shown you earlier with that vape firmware in that temperature sensor region. So, oh, this is hard. Yeah, that's the right one. Let me see if I can mirror here. Maybe not. All right, so what you see here is you see Perch on the left. And this is a peripheral tree of all of the different peripherals that are included in the NRF firmware. I mean, the NRF chip, sorry. And so we can navigate this tree and you'll see that these are all the peripherals and it's colored by utilization. And so let's jump to, well, what was my good example? So the MPU, for example. In this, that's kind of neat actually from a security perspective. Disable protection mechanisms in debug mode. Cool. So what we can do is we can just follow that to where that's written. And you can see it's kind of now cleanly written in memory or in a disassembly here. And so we can walk through all these different peripherals and start to get a really high level idea of what certain functions are doing. Initially, if you were to look at this function, just see a bunch of data accesses. But now you see, okay, this is actually setting up some clock stuff. Let's see, what was one of the good examples? So you can see, all right, this is the function that's setting up and starting the watchdog and all that fun stuff here. And then another, from like a very high level perspective, this vape, I don't own this vape, I just have the firmware. And so I really wanted to be able to see, okay, so what is the even hardware look like? And you can get a really quick idea of like, all right, well, they're not using SPI for anything. They are using the temperature sensor. You can go, oh, I wonder if they're using the temperature sensor for the actual vape product or what have you. So that's Perch and a nutshell in terms of demo me. Here's some, you know, great examples as well of what's happening behind me. You know, the RNG getting set up. And so what comes after this? All right, cool. So this is that, the cleaned up Perch version of that initial shot that I showed you. Some of the features that it supports, the short and long register descriptions, so you can really cleanly see like you saw. All of those, those axisies, the tree hierarchy is actually really nice because Lauterbach does a great job of nesting peripherals. So in, well, in some cases, you'll have, you know, debug registers nested with another debugging for some specific sub peripheral. And then like I mentioned, the colorization is really helpful for seeing kind of a high level overview. It's what, what is happening in. Okay. So now that we have this, other than helping with, you know, general reverse engineering efforts, what kind of like other things now that we have this new layer in Ghidra can we do? And what's great about Ghidra is you have these plugins. This is a plugin or extension, and then you could script on top of them as well. So one of the scripts that I developed that is now on top of the perch layer is finding setup functions. So a really quick heuristic for finding a setup function is you see, all right, I want the one function that does the maximum number of rights to a peripheral family, right? So SPI flash you'll say. Let's find the function that sets that up. Go through all the different functions and find the one with all the rights to that peripheral. And so you can immediately label in Ghidra all of the different setup functions for all the different peripherals really quickly. What else can you kind of do with this kind of infrastructure built in? So this is a terrible picture of a control flow graph that you'll pretty normally see in something like IDIF or, you know, and Ghidra in a really terrible view. But what you can do now is you can also add in your peripheral interactions. So in this diagram when you see all of the colored dots are the peripherals, and you can start to immediately notice, like see this tree over here, that's pretty obviously a setup function. And I actually have a better shot of this next one. You can find some really interesting stuff, like this is the radio, and it's also looking at like one time program of memory. So, hey, is this doing some key stuff? Is it just setting up the ID, that kind of thing? And this is without looking at a single line of disassembly, you can start getting these kind of insights, which is something I enjoy. All right. So what should you walk away thinking after this brief little talk here? Memorymap.io is kind of a hard thing to deal with given the massive diversity of all these processors. Fortunately, tools like Thomas Roth's SVD parser and Perch are hopefully going to make that a lot easier. Thomas Roth's tool is available today. You can find it on Twitter. Perch is going through open source review, so that will be also available. Those peripheral files I mentioned are also entirely available on Lauterbach's website. They're not proprietary. You don't have to buy their equipment to access them, and they're for now still online. The kind of general big picture things that I think you should take away is the value in Ghidra is more than it just being a cool hardware versus engineering tool that's pretty equivalent to Ida. It's actually, in my opinion, the ability to extend it so much further, and it's really well documented foundation. It's just great bones to add on to from a reverse engineer's perspective. And then you can do some pretty neat stuff with graphing outside of Ghidra and get pretty cool insights without touching the assembly. I didn't really talk that much about it, but formal grammars, I do want to give them a shout out, are a lot less scary than they seem, and they're incredibly useful for doing large text parsing quickly and accurately. And yeah, I think that sums it up. If anybody has any questions, please let me know, or if you want to know what this spirally thing is, find me, well I guess, in the beer garden after. All right, let's think quick. And we'll do Q&A as usual outside.

Hello people of the internet, my name is Johnny and welcome back to Five Nights at Freddy's News. I said in my last couple of videos that even with the recent controversy around FNAF, the franchise Scott, you know, his retirement, all of that, I'll still be making FNAF videos and hopefully all of this news can bring some positive energy to your day because we do have a lot of things to look forward to. So honestly, let's not waste any more time. I've been gone for like the entirety of the month basically with FNAF News so I've missed out on a lot of stuff. I apologize. Before we hop into it though, look at this number. Look at how close we are to 20,000 subs. Please, if you are not subscribed, please do so. Or just double check. It takes like two seconds. Scroll down, click the button. It's, I want to get a 20k subs man, please. Anyways, let's start off with some news on the Fazbear Frights book series. On June 5th, again, I told you I've been late to all this. The most common words and phrases for the Fazbear Frights number nine, the Puppet Carver was revealed. As you can see, you have a lot of names. Jack, Molly, Porter, Peyton, Colton, Sage, Crutchfield, which if I had to take a guess is a town name. And then you have the Ticket Pulverizer, which appears to be one word. If I had to take a guess, I'm guessing that is the arcade machine that we're going to learn about in the second story. The summary for the Puppet Carver goes as followed. Consumed by failure, desperate to keep his kitty Pizzeria from bankruptcy. Jack lets his animatronics tech pitch him a new invention that might just give him some perspective. Frustrated by an unfair arcade game, again, that could be the Ticket Pulverizer. Colton throws himself into re-engineering the device at any cost. Molly's best friend goes missing on a tour of the Freddy's Pizza Factory.  The book comes out on July 6th, however, I do have some insider info. Sometime later on in the week, I'll be releasing a video which is very spoiler-heavy, so keep that in mind if you see it. And in that video, I'll be summarizing all three of the stories, including the epilogue in the Puppet Carver before it comes out. So if you don't want to miss that, again, hit that subscribe button. Moving on now, we have a three-page preview for the 10th book in the Fast and Furious series, Friendly Face. I think I'm allowed to show these on video. We're going to find out. It is a very quick preview. Again, it's only three pages, six technically. The preview is told from the perspective of a boy named Edward, and something noteworthy about Edward is that he is a teenager. People are pointing this out a lot because apparently, Andrew makes an appearance in the book, and Andrew is supposed to be eight. However, the preview in the book makes it very clear that Edward is a teenager, and he's not a child like Andrew. The summary for the book goes as followed. Act in haste, repent at leisure. After losing his friend in a terrible accident, Andrew can't spend his money fast enough on a happy companion guaranteed to keep his friend's memory alive. Mark quickly flushes his brother's creepy new pets, but the creatures have other plans. Eager to put her classmates in their place, Homecoming Queen Jessica doesn't stop to double-check her homework, reprogramming a defunct animatronic. We've got a ways to wait for this book. It comes out on September 7th. Moving on to some news about the ports. Unfortunately, nothing of the fanverse just yet. However, we do have an update on Ultimate Custom Night, Sister Location, and also all of the ports. Earlier in the month, Clickteam said we are pushing FNAF's Ultimate Custom Night update for Xbox and Switch today. Please see the change logged below, still working with Sony to get the same patch released on PlayStation 4. Unfortunately, it seems like the update is still not out on PS4 just yet. We are releasing today a patch for Ultimate Custom Night on Xbox and Nintendo Switch. Please read below for the changes. We are still working with Sony to deliver the same to PlayStation 4. The update includes the following added controller sensitivity options, added a pause screen, added cheats, moved the flashlight from A to B, fixed pressing on Helpy, fixed all off button shortcut, fixed the speed of adjusting the AI levels, and fixed the faz coin sometimes not appearing on the cameras, fixed missing sounds for Afton and Rockstar Foxy, fixed the warning showing on the counter-intuitive side of the screen, removed the ability to cheat challenges. For Xbox One, they added a keyboard and mouse support, and for the Microsoft Store, it is now available on Windows 10 on PC. A massive update, one that we have been waiting on for about a month, so I'm super super happy that this is finally out. I can't wait to hop back into UCN on Switch. However, there has been an issue. That's right, there was an issue among us. They tweeted out earlier in the month. We received a ratings issue for FNAF Ultimate Custom Night on Sony PlayStation 4. We have corrected the issue and have resubmitted for review. It is scheduled to start the review process with Sony on the 16th of June. I will provide more information as it comes to me. Right now, it is the 21st and there has been no word from Clickteam. And also, a similar ratings issue for FNAF System Location on Sony PlayStation 4 was uncovered. We have corrected the issue and have resubmitted for review. It is scheduled to start the review process with Sony on the 17th of June. And once again, there has been no word from Clickteam just yet. Some very interesting news from Clickteam was revealed the other day about the ports. They said Clickteam is knee deep in providing full subtitles to all seven titles. We are currently rigging UCN with the new code. We are still deciding on the languages included once the code is in place. So that is some very unexpected but also very exciting news for all of the foreign FNAF fans. Moving on now, we have FNAF AR. They made a tweet the other day saying the wicked tides and their strange denizens are moving back to the sea. But gears are whirling and there's a tick talking. We're not sure what all that could be. And actually on Thursday, June 17th, the day that the brand new skin and the tick talking event was supposed to release, FNAF AR put out a tweet saying hello all we know a lot's been going on in the community in the past week. Referencing the whole Scott drama and Tim retiring which I believe was the same day. We'll still release the Scream punk event in coming weeks but thought it was best to give everyone time and space this week. So we won't be launching the event this week. We appreciate all of y'all deeply. No, I'm not going to lie. I think this tweet is acting a little sus. I appreciate them giving, you know, us FNAF fans to, you know, like calm down because of all the drama and what's going on with Scott. But the fact that they said the next coming weeks, I understand, you know, like this is a huge deal. You know, Scott created the franchise seven years ago and he's retiring. But delaying it by weeks, that's a long time. Now it is a brand new week this week, you know, it being Monday, so I don't know if they're going to release it on Thursday this week or if they're going to again keep waiting all these weeks. It makes me hope that they're maybe working on a new character right now and that's why they need a lot more time. Because while I do think that they are taking time off for the fans, I also think that they are taking time off to work on some other things. But who knows puzzle pieces have been releasing a little bit. They stopped now, of course. But we're just going to have to wait and see. The first skin appears to be a valourous skin here are the puzzle pieces. Moving on to some news about FNAF Plus. We have Phil Moog tweeting out might as well put this out now. Unfortunately, Scott Cawthon will not return to voice Phone Guy in FNAF Plus. There were plans for a long time, but he ultimately declined once I approached him to record his lines. Thought it'd be an appropriate time to break the news to everyone. As for who will, I don't know. Certainly not going to be me, that's for sure. This kind of sucks since Phone Guy is a huge part of FNAF One, but I'll have to walk around it and see if I can find something that will hopefully make up for this loss. We'll see. So some very unfortunate news. Scott not voicing Phone Guy in FNAF Plus. People are chalking this up to the recent drama. I don't think that's the case. Based on how Phil warded, the tweets that makes it seem like this happened a little bit ago, and he's only breaking the news right now because Scott's on everyone's mind. So either Scott wasn't interested because he was looking to retire soon, or, I don't know, he just didn't want to do it. Maybe he can't really do Phone Guy that well anymore. He hasn't done it since, oh boy, 2015? FNAF 3? I'm not sure. It's some very unfortunate news. I hope Phil can find a suitable replacement. I'm sure he'll keep us updated because I was really looking forward to Phone Guy, but it seems like he's going to go for some either alternative voice or just a complete, you know, different guide. Moving on to Kane Carter and Pop Goes Evergreen. Earlier in the month Kane tweeted out there was a near-endless supply of unseen and, quote, lost content from old Pop Goes projects that I have access to. If there was enough demand, I might make a second Twitter account dedicated to it on Pop Goes' fifth anniversary or something. No longer canon, but I know there are fans. And as you can see, you have Spring Bonnie and, I believe, JJ? Up on the show stage. I'm not all too familiar with all the Pop Goes lower and all that stuff, so sorry if I don't know what's going on or who some characters are.  Then you have some sort of minigame it seems like. And then you have whatever the heck this terrifying creature is. And actually, three days after that post, Kane made another post, saying, I've decided to follow through with this. On the 26th of June, which is in only five days, I'll begin sharing previously unseen and obscure content from the original Pop Goes series to this profile. At Lost Pop Goes, it will be linked down below if you want to go give it a follow. Feel free to follow in advance. Hope you guys enjoy it. There you go. If you want to see some lost and obscure content from the original Pop Goes series, go give that page a follow. Again, it'll be linked down below. About a week and a half ago, Kane made another tweet, saying bad timing because I was going to share this anyway. But I sent Scott an update on Evergreen last night with previews for four environments in the game. He said, thanks for the update. This game is looking amazing so far. Really great stuff. Only a couple days ago, Kane posted an image of the UI screen for Pop Goes Evergreen. He said, been playing around with a menu UI stuff for Evergreen. Last time I walked on this was like August of last year. The left redacted is for the other collectibles and the middle one is for the post night gameplay sections. Mini game replacements. Still a walk in progress, just experimenting. He also replied with, here's a yellow version with the kitchen for fun. No idea if this would happen in game or if we'd even use the cameras for the background lol. So that is the walk in progress menu UI for Pop Goes Evergreen. I think it looks amazing. All of these fan games, I'm looking forward to immensely. Now I do have some more updates on the Fanverse Initiative. One out of Flunkies 3 however, it's kind of an interesting topic. So I'm going to save that for a future video which should hopefully be out maybe tomorrow or the next day. So if you want more news on the Fanverse Initiative, again, hit that subscribe button. But we're not done with Pop Goes just yet. Kane provided some info on the game modes that are going to be in Pop Goes Evergreen. He said the premium edition, which if you guys don't know, the premium edition is just paid for. Meaning if you get it on console or mobile and I also believe that Pop Goes Evergreen is going to be on Steam. So the premium edition of the game has three other game modes planned at the moment. New Game Plus, which is the advanced gameplay with experimental mechanics. New Game Minus, nostalgic gameplay with the original mechanics. And then Challenges, a long list of unique single night challenges with phone rewards. And finally, I'm very late to this, but Kane Carter revealed the official full render for the brand new design for Stone the Crow. And here it is. I think it looks absolutely amazing. As you can see, he's holding the walk in and drive through sign. And he's also got a little red score font. Kane also provided a drawing of Stone from the Pop Goes pizzeria. And then this terrifying banner of Stone in front of the Pop Goes Evergreen logo. I think he looks amazing. I think he looks especially terrifying in that third picture. However, we do have more surprises for Pop Goes coming very soon. Kane the other day tweeted out, Oh, and also, we're in the midst of setting up something very cool for Darko's upcoming charity stream, which is also on Pop Goes' fifth anniversary. It's not huge, but it's very unique. It could go tits up, but fingers crossed it works out how we're planning it. So some very exciting news coming soon. And in case you don't know what he's talking about, Darko made a tweet saying 24 hour charity stream for the Trevor Project, Saturday 26th of June. I've released a schedule closer to the date. Now this was announced during the whole, you know, Scott political drama about all his donations and such. But Darko did reveal that this was planned way, way, way before that. However, Scott did reply and he did say I will be there. Now there's been a lot of mixed reactions about this. Some people are thinking, Oh, he's only doing this to, you know, make up for who we donated to. And then you have everyone else who's like, Well, he's always at Darko's charity streams. In my opinion, I think he was going to be there anyways.  Oh, I'm so sorry. I donated to these people here. Let me do this in return. I don't think that's the case. I just think this is kind of bad timing. But yeah, Mark your calendar is the 26th of June 24 hour charity stream. My gosh, Darko, bless your heart, man. I don't know how you can do 24 hours. And finally, let's talk about ScottGames.com. Though I'm sure you haven't missed it by now. ScottGames.com was updated the other day with Scott's retirement letter. And only a couple of days after that post, the site went completely blank. Now we're kind of used to Scott games having something on there. If there's no image at the very least, it has the ScottGames.com logo. This time, however, it's very different as the site contains absolutely nothing. And unlike FNAF World, which has been blank for a very, very long time, I believe the last time we had something on FNAF World.com was the lead up to Freddie and Space 2, which was in 2019. And since then you can see the site has just a blank black image. However, you go to ScottGames.com and the site again literally has nothing on it. So it's unclear what's going to happen with the site as of right now. If it's going to be used by the person who gets FNAF next, or if the site goes down because Scott doesn't want to pay for having the site up. I don't know. It's a little sad. Again, this is the end of an era, but hopefully we can have some good news very, very soon. Oh boy, was that a long news video. I apologize again. I've been gone for like the entire month. We haven't had a FNAF news video since I think it was like the 3rd of June. And again, we still have more news to talk about. Junicrome and One Night at Phone Piece 3. Basically the entirety of the Fanverse initiative. What's happening with that now that Scott has retired? We got news on the Puppet Co-over. And I'm sure at some point I'll get out that news video about FNAF Plus. But that's it for this video. Thank you guys so much for watching. And I hope you have a very, very fantastic rest of your day. And I'll see you all on the flip side.
