That concludes General Questions. Before we move to the First Minister's Questions, I invite members to join me in welcoming to the gallery Abbey Taylor, Presiding Officer of the Tobago House of Assembly. I also invite members to join me in welcoming his Excellency, Dr Robert Andreicec, Ambassador of Slovakia to the United Kingdom. The next item of business is First Minister's Questions. At question number one, I call Douglas Rox. I remind the chamber that my wife is a serving police officer with Police Scotland. Body Worn cameras are vital for police officer safety and to increase public trust. The SNP has left Police Scotland as the last force in the United Kingdom to roll out body worn cameras, but, yesterday, Police Scotland said that they could not guarantee that body worn cameras will be rolled out next year. Humza Yousaf did not deliver them when he was just the secretary. As First Minister, will he let police officers down again? First Minister. First and foremost, of course, we have increased the budget for Police Scotland. I am pleased that, after last week, Douglas Ross seems to have accepted the point that the Scottish Government has increased the budget for Police Scotland by 6.3 per cent by an additional £80 million. Let me quote directly from Deputy Chief Officer David Page and what he actually said around body worn cameras. He said, and I quote, Our current plans are that we will continue to roll out our national body worn videos as outlined in previous plans. When I was just the secretary, I ensured that we had the capital budget to ensure that that could begin. I am pleased to say that the Scottish Government has increased the budget for Police Scotland, but, much like Chief Officer David Page said yesterday, the plans are to roll out our national body worn video cameras for our police officers, who, of course, are the ones who should be credited for the fact that we have seen one of the lowest crime rates in Scotland for almost 50 years. The evidence was very clear that next year they will not be fully rolled out. Hamza Yousaf said in his programme for government last week that they were a priority, but Police Scotland now says that they cannot guarantee it because there is a £300 million black hole in the capital budget. The First Minister likes to quote from Police Scotland, so let me quote a submission that he put to this Parliament's Justice Committee for yesterday's session. Our current capital allocation is among the lowest in UK policing. This is significantly short of the funding required to improve conditions and equipment for the wellbeing of officers and staff. If this really is a priority for Hamza Yousaf, will he now treat it like one? Let's deal with the facts. The fact is that the UK Government has cut our capital budget by over 6.5 per cent, but here are some more facts for Douglas Ross. The Scottish Government has increased Police Scotland's budget by £80 million this year. The fact of the matter is that we have more police officers per head in Scotland than England. Of course, when we look at recorded crime levels, they are at one of their lowest in Scotland in almost 50 years. In fact, recorded crime has fallen by 42 per cent since the SNP came into power. That is a fact. When it comes to looking at whether Scotland is safer under the SNP, there is simply no denying that Scotland is undoubtedly safer under the SNP Government. That is a fact. Budgets are so stretched that the police say that officer redundancies are now on the table. Let's look at facts that the First Minister wants to reiterate. £300 million black hole in Police Scotland's capital budget, fact. Officer numbers in Scotland are at their lowest levels in 14 years, fact, First Minister. They started to slip when he was Justice Secretary and now they are in freefall as he is First Minister. Without further funding, Police Scotland warned yesterday that 2,000 police officers could be let go in the next five years. 600 could be offered streets by April next year. So why is the Government even considering these cuts, which will stretch policing in Scotland to breaking point? First of all, can I just remind Douglas Ross once again that this year Police Scotland has seen a significant increase to their budget? We are doing that, of course, in the face of a UK Government that has cut our capital budget. Let's look at how we are spending that money, not only are we ensuring that we have more police officers on the beat per head than England. If we look at fair pay, we have just concluded a deal with our police officers for a generous and a fair pay increase to them. That means in Scotland that the minimum and maximum salary is now higher for police officers in all ranks in Scotland compared to their counterparts in England and Wales. When it comes to the budget, of course, we will negotiate, we will engage with all political parties right across the chamber in relation to the budget. However, what Douglas Ross cannot do is demand more money that is spent and at the same time demand that we cut taxes. That is simply not a credible position. The First Minister is getting angry again. Either a civil servant has not put this stat in his briefing pack or he is not reading it. Police officer numbers in Scotland under the SNP are now at the lowest level in 14 years. That is a fact, First Minister, and that is what we are facing on the streets of Scotland right now. Police Scotland will be the last force in the UK to roll out body warm cameras. Officers no longer have the resources to investigate every crime. Their workplaces are not fit for purpose, and now the number of officers could be cut by 2,000. The thin blue line is barely visible at this rate, so does the First Minister accept that, with falling officer numbers, communities in Scotland will feel less safe? I do not accept that in the slightest. Around 1,280 new recruits have joined Police Scotland in the last 18 months. Over 350 more police officers than we took office in 2007. When it comes to real terms increases in Police Scotland's budget, that is a fair enough call for any political party to make. Of course we will give that consideration when it comes to the budget. Has Douglas Ross ever asked himself why a real terms increase was difficult this year? Of course it was difficult because inflation is sky-high because of his party's complete economic mismanagement of the public finances. When it comes to real terms increases, of course we will give that consideration. However, it was Douglas Ross a year ago that stood here that demanded the Scottish Government to copy Liz Truss's disastrous many-budget. If we had done that, we would not have money to spend on our police service or on any of our public services. Thank goodness that Douglas Ross is nowhere near the public finances of Scotland, Presiding Officer. Last year, the then health secretary promised no one would be waiting more than 18 months for an NHS procedure by September 2023. However, the most recent figures show that there are still 17,200 people on an NHS waiting list who have already waited over 18 months for hospital procedures, yet another broken promise from a health secretary that has failed upwards. The result is people turning to private care. Figures out this week show that 40 per cent of all knee and hip replacements carried out in Scotland are being self-funded by patients—40 per cent. Why does Humza Yousaf think that it is acceptable that almost 5,000 patients last year were forced to cover the costs of their hip or knee replacements because of his failures? First Minister, of course, as every right to ask around the waiting times that our NHS are experiencing, but what I would say to Anas Alwar is that every time he asks the question, he fails to mention, of course, the biggest shock our NHS has ever faced in its 75-year existence. Health services right across the UK, including in Scotland, are, of course, ensuring that we recover. When it comes to the longest waits, again, just to inject some facts into the exchange, the number waiting over two years for a new outpatient appointment is down 59 per cent in Scotland. When we look at the 18-month wait that is reduced by 40.6 per cent, we look at those waiting over a year—34 per cent of specialities had fewer than 10 patients waiting over 52 weeks. There is progress, there is recovery and, of course, that recovery is going to take time. What helps with that recovery is making sure that we have NHS staffing at near record levels, as they are under this Government, but also making sure that we do not lose a single day of the NHS to industrial action. I am pleased that this Scottish Government has ensured that our NHS staff remain the best paid in the entire UK. Anna Sarwar, the First Minister surely knew about Covid when he made the promise last year that we were eradicated by this time this year. The First Minister may not like it, but that is happening on his watch. In the last financial year alone, there were 43,000 patients treated privately in Scotland, an 8 per cent increase in one year. 4,739 hip and knee replacements paid for privately. 7,805 cataract surgeries paid for privately. 1,980 colonoscopies, 2,055 endoscopies, 995 hernia repairs and, most shockingly of all, 1,745 rounds of chemotherapy paid for privately by patients. Healthcare-free at the point of need, a founding principle of our NHS. How can the SNP get so bad that patients are having to find the cash to pay for life-saving cancer treatment? We do not want people to have to fund care out of their own pockets. We know, of course, the impact that the pandemic has had on our health service and, indeed, on those waiting lists. I go back to the point to Anna Sarwar that this is something that has been seen right across health systems across the globe, let alone across the United Kingdom. When we look at those happening here in Scotland as well as across the United Kingdom, and I look at the figures from the private health information network over the first quarter of 2023, it shows worrying trends in relation to those who are accessing private healthcare, but it also shows that Scotland has a lower rate of take-up of private healthcare compared to England and Wales. The rate of people who are self-funding for private inpatient daycare is 16 per cent higher in England, and in Wales it is 51 per cent higher where the Labour Party is in charge. Of course, that will be cold comfort for people who have to dig deep into their own pockets to pay for healthcare, but what I would say is that it is not unique here to Scotland. What we will do is continue to see that recovery, continue to reduce waiting lists, and what we will continue to do is make sure that our NHS staff are the best paid in the UK so that they continue to provide the excellent service that they do to patients up and down Scotland. Anna Sarwar The number of people going private each year is going up, and those answers from the First Minister are going to mean no comfort to the 43,000 patients who are being forced to pay privately. One person I spoke to in Camposlang just a few weeks ago was £15,000 for a hip replacement because he had to wait three years, completely and utterly unacceptable. In the middle of a cost of living crisis, where people are struggling to pay the bills, they should not also have to worry about the cost of getting sick. On the SNP's watch, 43,000 Scots are being forced to find £15,000 for a hip or knee replacement, £3,000 for cataract surgery, £3,000 for a colonoscopy, £4,000 for a hernia repair and even cancer patients forced to find thousands of pounds for their chemotherapy. Patients in pain and heartbroken families trying to scrape together the cash, some even being forced to remortgage their homes to pay for the care that they should be getting on the NHS. First Minister, why are more and more Scots being forced to pay the price for SNP incompetence and failure? The First Minister What we're seeing, of course, is the impacts of that global pandemic, which has impacted every single health service, including, of course, the health service here in Scotland. If Anna Sarwar wants evidence of the recovery, we are seeing more and more activity within the NHS. When I look at the activity in relation to inpatient daycare, activity for quarter two was at its highest since the start of the pandemic. That's not the first, not the second, but actually the sixth quarterly increase in a row, with 58,813 patients seen in Q2. We're seeing more and more patients, in patients in this case, and daycare patients being seen. I'm pleased that Anna Sarwar mentioned the cost of living crisis, because we are taking action to tackle that cost of living crisis. Because of the action that we are taking, of course, it's estimated that 90,000 fewer children will be in absolute or relative poverty. In stark contrast to the position of Anna Sarwar of a summer of U-turns, where he has aligned himself with cruel Tory policy, after cruel Tory policy, we are unashamedly anti-poverty, unashamedly pro-growth. The only thing Anna Sarwar is unashamedly pro-starmer. 3. Ross Greer To ask the First Minister what action the Scottish Government is taking in response to the first UN global stock-take report on the Paris climate agreement. Well, it's simply no denying that the conclusions of the global stock-take report are deeply concerning, and that all countries, including Scotland, must seek to do more. The report found that nothing less than radical decarbonisation and systemic transformation will do. Scotland will, of course, play her part. Internationally, we will continue to urge greater ambition, greater action towards a just transition to net zero through our core chairmanship of the under 2 coalition. I will highlight this as a matter of urgency while at the New York climate week, and we look forward to COP28 to make clear decisions on fossil fuels, renewable energy and climate finance must be progressed with urgency. At home, Scotland has made progress on our net zero journey, though we know more has to be done. We will continue to work with communities, businesses and international partners towards a net zero future. Scotland has a deserved international reputation as a leader on climate action, but our domestic record needs to match up to that reputation. With Scottish green policies that are removing peak time rail fares from a few weeks from now, we are taking action to reduce emissions. The First Minister said that he is about to join other world leaders at climate week and then at COP. What new actions is he bringing to the table to demonstrate Scotland's commitment to tackle this global emergency? Well, Ross Greer is absolutely right. It is incumbent upon Governments right across the world to ensure that they are bringing urgency, pace and, indeed, initiative to tackling the climate. Emergency Scotland has already had a big impact on the global stage, particularly through our pioneering commitment to loss and damages, and I am determined to keep building upon that. In terms of new initiatives, that is where my programme for government committed to serious climate action. Cheaper public transport through free bus travel, trialling the scrapping of peak rail fares on ScotRail, as Ross Greer has mentioned, investing almost £5 billion in the net zero energy economy, a new climate change adaptation programme, a heat and buildings bill and the natural environment bill, much more on top of that, that we will continue to build upon as we develop our new climate plan. That is why I am looking forward to hosting all party leaders so that we can get some sort of consensus, I hope, on the urgency that is required to tackle the climate emergency. Given that the Scottish Government has consistently failed to live up to our climate target, which is bad news for the 38 per cent of households living in fuel poverty, whose energy bills have increased, what does he say to the millions of people across the world and here in Edinburgh, who will be campaigning on the streets this weekend to demand the just transition, given that his government has flip-flopped an oil and gas and failed to deliver retrofitting of people's homes who are living in fuel poverty? Can I say to Sarah Boyack that she would have more credibility on this issue if her party didn't U-turn on its support on low emission zones or indeed it didn't dump its £28 billion green prosperity fund? That is the very, very point here. That time and time again, this Scottish Government doesn't just talk the talk, we're prepared to walk the walk. We will bring forward serious action to tackle the climate emergency, but what would really help, Presiding Officer, is that those parties that demand we meet our targets don't then oppose every single measure that we bring to this chamber. If Sarah Boyack is serious and the Labour Party is serious about tackling the climate emergency, join with us, support us and bring forward ideas that will help us collectively to tackle the climate emergency. Don't simply just dump the policies that you had and don't simply just oppose those policies that we bring forward and support us, because collective action is needed to tackle the climate emergency. Thank you, Presiding Officer. Could the First Minister update the chamber on when we should expect to see the published update to the climate change plan? Thank you, and we move to question 4, and I call Jackie Dunbar. To ask the First Minister, in light of reports that no bids were received for offshore wind projects in the UK Government's latest contract for difference round, what action the Scottish Government has taken to encourage investment in offshore wind and hydrogen power in Scotland? Jackie Dunbar absolutely exposes the UK Government's complete failure to capture one of the greatest opportunities for Scotland's net zero economy. Its inexplicable stance is anti-climate, but it is also anti-growth. Industry has said that the UK Government has a clear signal that the strike price must increase and we back those calls 100 per cent. To ensure that we seize this opportunity, the Scottish Government supports the strategic investment model with public and private sector partners, specifically aimed at enabling a move from project-led to sector-level investment. Launching later this year will be the next tranche of hydrogen funding. The green hydrogen fund, the flagship fund, will focus on supporting renewable hydrogen production from Scotland's abundant renewable energy resources, seeking to give us first mover advantage. I hope that on the back of industry calls that the UK Government will listen to the industry and, of course, hopefully will have a successful future round. Jackie Dunbar I thank the First Minister for his answer. A new report from Aberdeens Robert Gordon University published just this week further reinforced that we cannot afford to get this wrong and we must see investment in renewable technologies gather pace. The SNP Scottish Government has shown its ambition by committing £500 million to a just transition fund, but this has to be matched by Westminster. Can the First Minister provide his response to this new report and any update on discussions with the UK Government to match the Scottish Government's just transition fund? The First Minister I welcome the report from Robert Gordon University. Jackie Dunbar is absolutely right. UK Government, successive UK Governments have taken billions and billions and billions from our north-east and are not prepared to put a fraction back in. The very least that the UK Government should do is to match our £500 million just transition fund. What I would also say to the UK Government is that the latest round is an abject failure to capitalise on the huge, vast renewable potential that Scotland has. What I would say to the UK Government is not just that it is this harm our economy but that it is seriously harming our planet of a summer in which we have seen the disastrous visual impacts of the climate emergency. This is a time for climate leadership. What we are getting from the UK Government is, of course, complete political abdication. Thank you, Presiding Officer. The fact that there are no bids received should be a wake-up call to this Government. Offshore wind should be part of an energy mix. Instead, they are putting all their eggs into one basket, a basket that is considerably more expensive than the Scottish Government has to do. Will the First Minister look again at having a more balanced energy mix that includes nuclear energy? The First Minister rightly looks embarrassed, as he should be, Presiding Officer. The Scottish Government is somehow responsible for the failure of the contract for different auction that the UK Government controls. It is seriously desperate from the member. If he does not want to listen to me, he should listen to the likes of Keith Anderson, who said, and I will quote directly, that this is a multi-billion-pound lost opportunity to deliver low-cost energy for consumers and a wake-up call for the UK Government. Let's listen to Dan McRail, the CEO of Renewable UK, who says that the results of the contract for difference auction round should set alarm bells ringing in the Government, as the UK's energy security and net zero goals can only be met if we have offshore wind as the backbone of our future energy system. I agree with Dan McRail, and I agree with Keith Anderson. If the Conservatives had any influence in that regard, they would make sure that the UK Government listens to the industry as opposed to those who back fossil fuels alone. Offshore wind is a sustainable source of energy and a key part of Scottish Government plans to reach net zero targets. However, the Scottish Government's first round of leasing sold our natural environment short with a cap price per square kilometre. Will the Scottish Government ensure that any future leasing rounds are not undersold in order to get the maximum amount possible to reinvest in public services? Scotland is the first evolved leasing round for offshore wind. Development of Scottish waters is the first leasing round in Scotland in a decade. We will make a significant contribution in terms of our public finances, not only the £750 million in revenues to the public purse, but the billions of pounds that it will create in terms of opportunity to the supply chain. The cabinet secretary will be more than happy to speak to the member in relation to what more we can do to improve future leasing rounds. However, the point here is that the Scottish Government believes in the vast potential of our renewables industry and our renewables potential. In the face of a UK Government, that has turned its back on Scotland's renewable potential. I hope that members, such as Beatrice Wishart, and other members across political parties, will join with the SNP-led Scottish Government to put pressure on the UK Government to do more to unlock the huge potential that Scotland has for renewables. To ask the First Minister what the Scottish Government's responses to statistics are, reportedly, showing that the number of complaints against Social Security Scotland has increased by 350 per cent in one year. Social Security Scotland has introduced 13 Scottish Government benefits, seven of which are available only in Scotland, thanks to a total investment of £12 billion, supporting people who need assistance. In 2022-23, it received almost 370,000 applications, hundreds of thousands of phone calls and web chats, too. Social Security is a fundamental human right, which is why we have established a very radically different benefit system, built on dignity, fairness and respect. Our system vigorously promotes benefit take-up to ensure that as many people as possible get what they are entitled to, while mitigating the austerity impacts of UK Government policies in our fixed budgets. In 2022-23, there were a total of 1,790 complaints, so complaint numbers remain low. In fact, in relation to total applications, it is less than 1.5 per cent. I am sure that the First Minister must agree that the situation is not acceptable. MSPs from across Parliament will be aware of increasing costs and complaints that are experienced by our constituents. SNP ministers have said all is well, however, we are seeing increased processing times, delays in benefit roll-out and the possibility of the full devolution of all benefits not happening until 2026. Therefore, can I ask the First Minister when does he expect all benefits to be devolved to Social Security Scotland? The more than happy for the cabinet secretary to write in detail to Miles Briggs, not just around the question that he asked specifically, but also on the significant improvements that we are making in relation to application processing times. Social Security Scotland is a success story because of Social Security Scotland, because of the actions that we have taken in relation to Social Security and, indeed, progressive taxation. It is estimated that 90,000 children will be lifted out of absolute and relative poverty this year. It is the reasons why, of course, poverty levels in Scotland are still too high, but we have seen rises, higher rises, and we have seen rises in poverty across the UK where the situation in Scotland has stabilised. We want to make sure that poverty reduces. The final thing that I would say to Miles Briggs and me will furnish him with further detail. When it comes to the satisfaction levels of those who interact with Social Security Scotland, 81 per cent—over 8 out of 10 respondents—agreed that it was easy to contact Social Security Scotland, and 94 per cent—over 9 out of 10 respondents—agreed that social security staff treated them with kindness. That expected is the stark difference to the DWP. Can the First Minister confirm that user survey results demonstrate Scotland's social security system as adhering to the founding principles of dignity, fairness and respect, so that people are benefiting from the powers over Social Security being in the hands of this Parliament? Yes, Clare Stevenson is absolutely right that the survey shows just that. When I look at satisfaction levels, almost 9 out of 10, 89 per cent of respondents said that Social Security staff were able to help them. 89 per cent of respondents said that Social Security staff were knowledgeable about benefits. As I have already said, through the actions that this Government has taken to the hard work of the excellent team at Social Security Scotland, we have seen significant results when it comes to tackling poverty and child poverty in particular. That would not have been possible. It is not for the hard work of the excellent staff at Social Security Scotland and, of course, the ethos that we have had from the very beginning around dignity, fairness and respect. To ask the First Minister what the Scottish Government is doing to tackle repeat offending in the light of a recent report that found that people who experience frequent and serious repeat violence often do not bring this to the attention of the authorities. The Scottish Government commissioned the report that the member refers to, precisely because we knew that victims of repeat violence do not report their experiences. It is, of course, important for us to understand the reasons and rationale behind why and how we can help them to access that support. While there are fewer crimes and fewer victims than over a decade ago, the impact on victims, particularly of sexual and violent crimes, can of course be absolutely devastating. That is why we are investing in law enforcement, crime prevention and reducing offending and reoffending through a range of activity, including our violence prevention framework. We are also putting victims of crime at the heart of our justice system through our victims' witnesses and justice reform bill, and we have invested £93 million over the past five years to support victims. I welcome the report by the Scottish Government, which seeks to better understand repeat violent victimisation. It found that, of those men who experience and repeat physical violence in Scotland, they live in deprived areas, have experienced homelessness or are living in supported accommodation and in recovery from addiction. Whereas intimate partner abuse was the highest among women aged 16 to 24, also living in deprived areas. The report talks about local communities, led by mentors, peer mentors and those with lived experience, were uniquely positioned to support people experiencing repeat violence. It is, First Minister, a slightly different perspective on crime, so I ask the First Minister what can be done to support the grass roots organisations, which the research found is quite limited by insecure funding? Pauli McNeill will make some very important points indeed. The point that she makes is exactly why we will continue to support programmes such as Medics Against Violence and, of course, the delivery of the excellent navigator programme. It is why we have continued to invest in the violence reduction unit, which has been hailed as a great exemplar globally. In terms of supporting grass roots organisations, I cannot agree more with Pauli McNeill. I think that the investment in those third sector partners is absolutely crucial. That is why more than 20 organisations have received awards from our victim-centred approach, including Victim Support Scotland, who were awarded over £18 million to support families bereaved by crime service. We will continue to invest in those grass roots interventions. I would say to Pauli McNeill that, of course, Justice Secretary, we are more than happy to continue the conversation with Pauli McNeill. We have received that report, and it is really important that we act upon what that excellent report is telling us. We move to general and constituency supplementaries, and I call Claire Adamson. Does the First Minister share my disney that Motherwell Concert Hall and Theatre was closed with immediate effect until further notice due to the discovery of rack concrete in the roof of the building? Of course, safety is absolutely paramount. Motherwell Civic Theatre and Concert Hall is a beloved venue, both by professional and amateur performers, not least the cast of the acclaimed Christmas panto. Will the Scottish Government engage with the local authority on the challenges facing the future of this important local cultural venue? Yes, we will continue to engage with local authorities, as we have done throughout the course of the last not just few weeks, but few months. I am more than happy for the Cabinet Secretary to speak directly to Claire Adamson. Claire Adamson is right, those are difficult issues. It is really important that local authorities and others continue to align themselves with the Institute of Structural Engineers guidance. That is what partners are seeking to do. Of course, that empowers them to take the appropriate mitigations, and that can include, at times, unfortunately having to close down buildings where they feel that that is necessary. I am more than happy to ensure that the Cabinet Secretary to be right to Claire Adamson. I am sure that she will be happy to engage with Claire Adamson, too, on this very important issue. First Minister, childcare formed the cornerstone of your programme for government. It is also central for child development and allowing parents and carers to get back to work. Yesterday, out of the blue, Cury primary school families lost their before-and-after school clubs. Parents have contacted me desperate for help, with one unsure how they can balance childcare and their job as a teacher in Dulkheath. First Minister, will you meet me to discuss solutions to this very pressing local issue? I will be more than happy for Sue Weber to furnish the Government with the full details. She has given a synopsis of the situation, and the Cabinet Secretary to be more than happy to meet Sue Weber. Sue Weber is right. Childcare was a cornerstone, not just of my programme for government, but it has been a cornerstone of this Government since 2007. We now have a very generous childcare offer, one that I am keen to build upon. That is why the staff who do a phenomenal job in providing childcare will ensure that the funds are available to pay them £12 an hour in the PVI sector. If Sue Weber can furnish the Government with full details, I will ensure that the Cabinet Secretary engages with her on this issue. This week, disabled people in Glasgow have written to all MSPs in the region, including the First Minister, to say that, and I quote, "...despite our large numbers, disabled people have never been a priority for the Scottish Government. The Glasgow Centre for Population Health has described the situation as a human catastrophe and the CEO of Glasgow Disability Alliance has said that the result is that disabled people are dying of poverty, nobody knows and nobody cares." Can I ask the First Minister, does he know that it is this bad for disabled people in the city that he represents and does he care enough to commit to taking action to address it, including to end non-residential care charges? I do understand, of course, because I met with the Glasgow Disability Alliance just a matter of weeks ago. I heard from the members of the board of the Glasgow Disability Alliance and Tresor Burke, who very powerfully, over the years, has articulated the concerns for disabled people living in Scotland. That is why my programme for government, of course, committed to reopen the independent living fund, which was an ask from disabled people's organisations. Of course, that is why I will continue to work with them to see what more we can do, including the ending of non-residential care charges, which we are still committed to doing by the end of this parliamentary term. However, I would say to Pam Duncan-Glancy that that will come at a significant cost, so it is really important that when Labour do engage with us, they do not turn their back on progressive taxation, as Anna Sauer seems to have done, and to turn their backs on any ability for us to raise any revenue, because all of these initiatives, well-intentioned, can make a difference, will cost money, and it is so important that we engage in a credible discussion on how we raise that revenue. The Linda Norgrove Foundation in my constituency has been desperately trying to get 20 female medical students out of Taliban ruled Afghanistan and into medical schools in Scotland. However, they are being stymied by UK visa issues. I know that the foundation was extremely appreciative of the cabinet secretary's help when they met with her last month. Is there anything further the Scottish Government can do to help these inspirational women? I hope that all of us as a Parliament can unite to back this particular cause. I want to pay tribute to the excellent work that Linda Norgrove Foundation does. It is incumbent on all of us to put pressure on the UK Government on the Home Office to help, given that we all know how difficult the plight is for women in Afghanistan. I know that the cabinet secretary has engaged with the foundation and that we have also understood and written to the UK Government and the Home Office on this particular matter. I will see if there is anything more that we can possibly do on this issue, but I would hope that we can collectively join as a Parliament to say to the UK Government that their response, their foot dragging on this particular issue, I am afraid, is simply not good enough and is letting down women and girls in Afghanistan. Grym Simpson. Thank you. The cost of building the Glen Sannocks and Glen Rosa is an ongoing scandal. We do not know when they will be finished, we do not know what the final bill will be, and we do not know what has happened to all the money. The Auditor General says that he needs extra powers in order to find out what has happened to £128 million of money that was spent by FML. Will the First Minister grant those powers? Presiding Officer, there has been a number of inquiries to which, of course, the Scottish Government and, indeed, those at Ferguson's have cooperated fully. Hundreds of documents that have been published and put into the public domain around what is happening at Ferguson's. I will not hesitate and apologise to our island communities for the fact that they are still waiting for the completion of both 801 and 802. What I will not do, Presiding Officer, is to apologise for the fact that the Scottish Government did step in and made sure that we secured and saved hundreds of jobs in Inverclyde. Police Scotland recently released a report that highlights that this year's funding allocation represents a real reduction. As a result, the number of police officers has been reduced to 16,600 in Scotland. At the same time, the number of calls being made to Police Scotland is reportedly only increasing. Will the First Minister advise what action the Scottish Government is taking to ensure that Police Scotland is suitably funded to deal with the demand? We are funding Police Scotland suitably because, of course, it has received an increase of 6.3 per cent and £80 million to their budget. Not only have they had an increase to their budget, of course, recorded crime is at one of its lowest levels in almost 50 years. When we look at police officer pay, they are, of course, the best-paid police officers in the UK, so we are making sure that Police Scotland is appropriately funded. If Foyster Shawdry thinks that there should be an increase to the budget, what the party cannot do is turn their back on progressive taxation or, indeed, any way in which we can raise revenue to ensure that our public services are appropriately funded. First Minister, the Aquafill factory in Kilburney, which carries out interlacing and twisting for the carpet yarn industry, has been unexpectedly earmarked for closure as early as next month with a loss of up to 40 jobs. That will be a devastating blow to the workers and wider community. Aquafill blamed, and I quote, Covid and Brexit for the challenging conditions in the UK and a doubling of energy costs. I will meet with the company on-site tomorrow. What steps can the Scottish Government take to assist the company, the workforce and lessen the impact of any proposed redundancies? Neil Gray will be happy to meet the member around Aquafill and we will see what can be done where necessary to hopefully prevent job losses or where that unfortunately becomes a material reality where we can help those into alternative employment. It is interesting that Kenny Gibson says that there are three factors that have contributed Covid, Brexit and, indeed, high energy costs. Of course, Covid is affecting business right across the globe, but the other two factors are very unique to the UK Government, so they are very unique to the UK and self-inflicted damage that Brexit has done. The utter mismanagement of the UK public finances is why, of course, we are seeing high energy and high inflation costs, which are damaging businesses right across Scotland. Thank you, Presiding Officer. During FMQs on 22 June, I raised a point of order that the First Minister had misled the chamber. On 29 August, the First Minister wrote, telling me what he had intended to say, but what he has stated to me in writing is not true. A freedom of information request reveals that weeks of civil service time and effort was spent trying to engineer a face-saving response rather than the First Minister simply admitting that he had misled us all. Does the First Minister share people's concerns that the Scottish civil service appears to be increasingly politicised, which could destroy public trust? What will he do to prevent such partisan protection from ministers who intentionally mislead in the future? I have a member who is telling me what I was actually meaning to say and meaning to think. It is incredible that we have Liam Kerr talking about disrespecting Parliament. I am meant to take a lecture from the Conservatives about disrespecting Parliament. Sorry, let's treat one another with courtesy and respect. Let's hear the First Minister. I am meant to take a lecture about disrespecting Parliament from the Conservatives who illegally shut down the Parliament. I am meant to take lectures about truth and honesty from the party that gave us Boris Johnson. The very difference between myself and Liam Kerr between the SNP and the Conservatives is that the SNP wants to power our just transition. It wants to empower our offshore renewable sector. The Tories, I am afraid, just want to hold us back. Audrey Nicholl This morning, new data shows the vast majority of Scots view immigration as a positive benefit that enriches Scotland culturally and economically. Can the First Minister update the chamber on his interactions with the UK Government on labour shortages in key sectors as a result of the UK's archaic immigration policies? The First Minister Audrey Nicholl articulates very well the positive benefits of migration. Virtually every single study under the sun shows that migrants who have come to the UK have contributed more than they have taken. I have to say that the absolute hostile environment that has been created by successive UK Governments is woeful. The UK has become a pathetically insular country. Not only is it morally wrong, but it undoubtedly cuts our nose despite our face in terms of the economic potential that migrants could bring to Scotland and, indeed, to the rest of the UK. I urge political parties to have lost hope with the UK Government, the Conservative UK Government, when it comes to migration. I would plead with Anna Sauer to use any influence he has when it comes to Keir Starmer and the UK Labour Party, who seem to be engaged in a race to the bottom when it comes to the issue of migration. That is not going to help the UK, certainly it is not going to help Scotland at all. It has been a persistent issue over many years with the short running of trains, serving the Fife to Edinburgh service, which is well used by my constituents. I raised this previously with ScotRail and with the previous transport minister. I was assured that this would be resolved, but it continues. Today, for example, the 08.11 service from Edinburgh Keating, a very busy service, had just two carriages, leaving passengers stranded on the platform, having to wait 20 minutes for the next service, meaning that they would be late arriving at their place of work. It is very welcome that we are seeing a reduction in peak time fares, but that is no use to people if they cannot get on the train in the first place, so when is this finally going to be brought to an end? We have invested significantly in the rolling stock in Scotland in the time that we have been in office. I know that the previous transport minister held a meeting with Fife MSPs in relation to the issues that Murdo Fraser mentioned earlier in the year in spring time, but I am more than happy for the cabinet secretary to write to Murdo Fraser on where appropriate meet with Fife MSPs so that we can ensure that the people of Fife get the service that they absolutely need and require. That concludes First Minister's questions. The next item of business is a member's business debate in the name of Julian Mackay. There will be a short suspension to allow those leaving the chamber and public gallery to do so.


Here's up you guys, welcome back to another one. If you are new to the channel, I am Gold Pony. I review new cars, trucks, SUVs on YouTube. And today we are in the new 2020 Honda Civic Sedan, courtesy of Apple Honda in York PA. For more information on their inventory, please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. And so I ended this one today because not only did I used to sell Hondas for a brief period of time, but I have actually owned three of them in my lifetime so far, back when I had an insane commute to work every single day. And they did go over 200,000 miles very easily for me, so that's always a plus. And that is backed up by the above average reliability rating by Consumer Reports, if you wanted to simply take a look at that. And so you guys may already know, I did review the 2020 Civic hatchback earlier in the year, and I'll leave a link to that particular video at the very end of this video. So, did want to check out a video and make one specific to the Civic Sedan. So therefore, I will be going over everything about this one today, testing out everything I can. So, what do you say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing. And so as expected, there are several different trim levels for the 2020 Civic Sedan. First one being the LX, starting at $20,650. Sport starting at $21,550. EX starting at $23,800. EXL, which is the one we are actually in today, starting at $25,000 even. And lastly, the Touring starting at $27,700. Then when it comes to the power plant on the Civic Sedan, there are actually two of them dependent upon the trim level that you go with. And so, for the LX and the Sport trim levels, that one is going to be powered by a two-liter, naturally aspirated inline four-cylinder, putting out 158 horsepower at 6,500 RPM, 138 pound-feet of torque available at 4,200 RPM. Power sent to the front wheels through a six-speed manual for the Sport trim level only. That is the only trim level you can get that six-speed on if you wanted to go with the manual configuration or a CVT with paddle shifters, which is available on the Sport coming standard on the LX. Zero to 60 time for that particular engine setup comes in at approximately 8.2 seconds, which is identical to the 2020 Toyota Corolla. With MPG numbers coming in at 25 in the city, 36 highway for the manual, 30 in the city, 38 on the highway for the CVT, either way, taking regular unledded fuel, AKA 87 octane. That's it, but then there is the other engine setup available for all other trim levels, being a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder, the one we have today, putting out 174 horsepower at 6,000 RPM, 162 pound-feet of torque available from the power band of 1,700 to 5,500 RPM. Power sent to the front wheels through a CVT once again with paddle shifters if you go with the touring trim level, otherwise you're not gonna get those paddle shifters. Zero to 60 time for this engine setup coming in at 6.8 seconds. Quite a substantial difference there and absolutely blows the Corolla out of the water when it comes to this particular engine setup. MPG numbers 32 in the city, 42 on the highway with the EX and EXL trims at least, 30 in the city, 38 highway for the touring. That's due in part because the touring does have a larger wheel and tire combination, so that is gonna reduce the MPGs there in case anybody was curious. But 42 MPGs on the trim level that we have today, that is absolutely ridiculous you guys. And so to go along with that though, let me mention to you guys the econ button located just behind the shifter. And so back when I owned my three Civics, I of course did play with that econ button and I had an hour 45 minute commute to work into the Inner Harbor every single day and I pushed that econ button because the majority of my drive was highway driving and what I found is that econ button essentially added 10 miles per gallon, believe it or not. I was getting 50 miles per gallon on the highway in a car that was rated for 40 on the highway. So I would imagine this might do even better than that. If you have a lot of highway driving at least and you press that econ button because what that button is actually going to do is adjust the shift points of course and the climate control settings as well. So on a hot day, if you have the AC on, it is gonna reduce that AC I found which is kind of the trade-off but if you can deal with that, you're gonna get some insane miles per gallon even more so than the already insane number that the Civic gives you. But so anyways, now having mentioned all of that, what do you guys say? I think it is time, let's do a quick little acceleration test see if it really does feel like 6.8 seconds. It's gonna be going slightly up a hill here but that's okay. I think the Civic can handle it. Let's go ahead and come to a stop on our trusty bridge here and five, four, three, two, one, go! Oh, okay. Not bad, not bad actually. Definitely not gonna have any issues of merging onto the highway I'm coming off of driving the Honda Fit so it is quite substantially quicker than that of course but actually not that much quicker than I remember but I never had this engine setup in the Honda Civics that I personally owned but this thing is a lot quicker than I remember for a Honda Civic and this isn't even the SI so well done Honda, I do like that acceleration. That was pretty good. Having said that, the CVT is still a little emotionless but it is a good transmission for the Honda Civic. I will say that but I would have preferred maybe a conventional automatic or a DCT just to give the car a bit more emotion and that's just personal preference on my end but anyways, to go along with that acceleration as always you guys, braking is equally important and so up front you will find 11.1 inch ventilated front disc and the back 10.2 inch solid rear disc as far as that 60 to zero braking distance number goes for the 2020 Civic it comes in at 113 feet which isn't bad, I gotta be honest. For comparison's sake, the 2020 Toyota Corolla comes in at 119 feet, the Honda Fit I just reviewed since it's fresh in my mind comes in at 126 feet so 113 feet is definitely pretty darn good if you ask me, so no issues there. As far as the braking feel goes it's been again perfectly fine. There's no brake pedal delay or anything like that certainly brings you to a quick stop so I do like the braking feel and that's certainly good for a commuter car as well. I've been touching on suspension and handling a bit.  Thank you for Honda for not throwing a Torsen beam rear axle back there. Front and rear stabilizer bars coming standard with the sport trim level and up so not the LX. You do have to go with the sport trim level if you want those front and rear stabilizer bars. Of course giving you a little better handling around the turns on the back roads. As far as ride quality goes actually feels a lot smoother than I remember so pleasantly surprised there but perhaps my favorite part about this new Honda Civic as I am about to turn back onto the road here is the steering feel. It is much weightier actually than I remember so well done Honda for that. And then when it comes to cabin noise I am getting a little bit of road noise coming into the cabin here but it's not too bad. It's pretty much as expected for the Honda Civic but I did want to mention that. It's probably not something that's gonna bother me personally but it may bother you so I wanted to mention that. Then touching on visibility a little bit I can see perfectly fine out the back and really with any sedan you're definitely not gonna have any issues there so that is definitely a plus as well. And to go along with that actually touching on visibility there are rain sensing windshield wipers coming standard with the touring trim level only. Essentially what that is when the Civic detects any kind of rainfall or mist it will automatically turn on those windshield wipers for you kind of like automatic headlights so it's just one last thing you have to worry about when you're actually driving so you can better focus more of your attention on the drive itself so that's definitely a big plus as well. And again along the lines of visibility there is of course Honda Lane Watch that comes with the EX, EXL and touring trim levels and what that is is when you put on your right turn signal there's actually a camera in that right side mirror and that is going to display up on the infotainment screen what is in your blind spots you're less likely to turn into somebody in that blind spot on the highway perhaps so that is a huge plus big safety feature as well. It's kind of Honda's version of the blind spot monitoring system I guess you could say but that about rounds out the performance segment of this review let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior of this new 2020 Honda Civic sedan. All right here she is you guys the 2020 Honda Civic sedan. Let's go ahead and start up front. So to the sides all trim levels but the touring will come standard with projector beam halogen headlights with the automatic feature meaning when it starts to get dark out at night they will turn on automatically for you then. LED daytime running lights also coming standard however LED headlights coming with the touring trim level only that is how you're going to go ahead and get those fog lights though down below will come standard with the sport trim level and up did want to add along those lines gloss black fog light surrounds coming with the sport trim level however since we have the EXL today you're going to find those chrome surrounds or that chrome perimeter around the fog lights basically for all other trim levels with the fog lights besides the sport and of course at the very bottom you guys can see that front mounted intercooler since we do have the turbo charged engine set up today that always looks good behind there and going ahead and making our way to the side of the Civic sedan chrome windows surrounds coming standard amber colored front fender lighting and I know that's a US thing but I would swap those out to clear fender lighting in a split second but nonetheless they are there body colored power adjustable side mirrors will come standard they will be heated for the EX trim level and up and they will come with LED integrated turd signals for the touring trim level and up then take a look down at the wheel setup 16 inch wheels with covers will come with the LX trim level 17 inch alloy wheels which you are looking at right now will come with the EX and EXL trims I love the double five spoke design love that the color of those wheels matches our exterior paint color just perfectly as well and of course 18 inch alloy wheels coming standard with the sport and touring trim level so bumped up that wheel size once again and although the sport touring trims do come with the same size wheels style wise they are going to differ slightly with gloss black inserts coming with the sport and a gloss gray insert coming with the touring trim level and I did want to mention in addition to that that touring trim is also going to add chrome door handles as well but so then going ahead and making our way to the back body colored rear spoiler coming with the EX trim level and up you will find a gloss black rear spoiler of course with the sport trim level that's it's theme as far as the taillights go they will come with LED integrated light bars of course you will have some trim level badging if you go with either the sport or the touring trims all other trims will completely eliminate that trim level badging as Honda was always known to do back in the day but for the sport and touring trim you still have that back there but chrome accenting found on the lower portion of that rear bumper and I did want to add to that there is a black rear diffuser with a single chrome exhaust outlet if you go with the sport so actually for all other trims that exhaust will be tucked away which is currently what you guys are looking at right now so what do you say you guys know what we have to do next as always here is that exhaust clip it's up and now since we are around back when it comes to opening that rear trunk there actually is a button on the key fob there's also a button on the driver's side door and of course a button on the trunk itself there are several different ways to go about doing that once opened up cargo capacity is going to come in at 15.1 cubic feet for all trims but the touring touring trim level is actually going to give you 14.7 cubic feet so slightly less probably not really anything where you're actually going to notice the difference though but for comparison's sake the Toyota Corolla comes in at 13 cubic feet even so a little bit more space when it comes to the Honda Civic sedan there if that was not enough space though these rear seats do fold down there is a 6040 split adding a good bit of extra space there and you will find cargo lighting in that back area as well then make your way to the rear legroom that comes in at 37.4 inches so for reference I'm an even six feet tall this is how much space I had back there again for comparison's sake the 2020 Toyota Corolla sedan comes in at 41.4 inches so little bit more rear legroom with the Corolla but a little bit more cargo space for the Civic sedan so I guess that's the trade-off for those rear passengers in the Civic though they will find a rear seat center armrest with cup holders for the EX trim level and up there's also a passenger side seat mat pocket if they wanted to store their maps or perhaps some toys for kids really and they do want to mention heated rear seats actually coming standard on the touring trim level that is definitely a big old plus as well then make our way to the front seats manually adjustable claw seats for the LX and sport trim levels eight-way power adjustable driver seat for the EX trim level and up that is definitely something that I appreciated when I first hopped in this one leather seating coming of course with the EXL meaning leather and touring trim levels heated front seats for the EX trim level and up also four-way power adjustable passenger seat if you were to go with the touring trim level but to then take a look at the steering wheel one of my favorite parts about this new Civic sedan it is tilt and telescoping for all trim levels it is leather wrapped for the sport trim level and up and I say it's one of my favorite parts not only because of the steering feel which is a little bit weightier than I'm used to but the 10 and two grips are actually bolstered quite nicely a lot of times in compact cars they're gonna be kind of wimpy kind of smaller I guess you could say but in the Civic sedan it's actually quite nice a little bit thicker grips there so I definitely appreciate that then when it comes to the startup let me first start by showing you guys the key here you do have your Honda logo on the one side and when you flip it over lock unlock that button to pop the rear hatch and you guys see that circular button towards the bottom there that is your remote start and that is gonna come standard on the CVT sport trim level and up and again with the sport trim level and up you will also get a push button start which is located just by the driver's right knee so all I am going to do here is simply put my foot on the brake and press that engine start button there it's up at then what started up engine temp is all the way to your left fuel information on your right and essentially everything else is gonna be located front and center including the tachometer there is a digital speedometer within that tachometer and to control anything else that you wanna be displayed up there there are actually steering wheel mounting controls found on the left side of this one so that's gonna give you a bunch of different things you can scroll through like how many miles you'll have left until you hit empty when you need your next oil change there's your Bluetooth information up there radio information, a ton of different things you can actually check out up there if you wanted to and take a look at overall interior quality the power and moon roof that we have here today is gonna come with the EX trim level and up dual zoom climbing control once again with the EX trim level and up auto dimming rear view mirror with home link controls that is gonna come with the EXL that we have today and touring and so that gives you home link controls or garage door openers for up to three different garage doors found on the bottom portion of that rear view mirror and that's always nice cause the alternative is that rattling garage door opener found on the sun visor so I'm always a big fan of home link controls for that particular reason sport pedals found on the sport trim level of course and touring trim levels perhaps my one room for improvement when it comes to interior quality with the Civic is there's no ambient lighting that comes standard you can get it as an accessory I've seen on the website but it goes for like $900 and at that price point it's not really worth it but cars like the Volkswagen Jetta do give the ambient lighting for up to like 10 different color choices too so that's pretty cool so I would have loved to have seen that on the Honda Civic so Honda perhaps in the next generation throw in some ambient lighting that would be pretty cool especially for the buyers that are buying the Civic I think that's something they would definitely like but overall certainly not a bad finish whatsoever very nice finish and I love this design that they have just behind the infotainment screen it ties together well with the doors a lot of very nice stitched leather found on the door as well as just above the passenger side glove box and the seats themselves are actually super comfy and I like that they're a gray leather as opposed to your stitter black leather that's also a huge plus for me at least just in front of the shifter you actually have a little USB connection port but that is gonna be it there because most of your wires are gonna be stored underneath of that and I always like that the Civic does that you do have a 12 volt power outlet found underneath there any USB charging port down there too but it's kind of like out of sight out of mind it gives you a much cleaner look so that is the reason I absolutely love that so you just simply have that one USB port right in front of the shifter there and kind of tucks the wires underneath that's pretty cool there's an electromechanical parking brake just behind the shifter along with a brake hold button there there's also dual cup holders just behind the shifter as well and of course within your center armrest you have a little sliding tray and a fairly deep storage area actually as well so it kind of surprised me how deep that was so that was pretty cool too but overall an actual very nice interior quality in my personal opinion again, a lot of stitched leather a lot of nice designs to it so overall I'm perfectly happy with the interior here but now let's take a look at the tech display so it is gonna differ amongst the trim levels five inch color LCD screen with the LX trim however all other trims will give you a seven inch color touch screen display either way you get Bluetooth and audio streaming but when it comes to Android, Auto and Apple CarPlay that's only going to be with the seven inch color touch screen display so you're gonna have to go with any of the other trims but the LX to get that so that's important because all you need to do then is hook your smartphone up to the Civic that is gonna give you free navigation displayed up on the infotainment screen as well as the ability to like and dislike your Pandora songs you can stream YouTube music up there there's a bunch of compatible apps really so that's definitely a huge plus for me at least the factory navigation system is gonna come with the Turing although you really don't need it the better navigation system in my opinion is gonna be through that Android, Auto or Apple CarPlay anyways you can of course set a clock or a wallpaper to be displayed up on that infotainment screen I used to do that on my old Civics and you can of course check out your radio settings up there as well as expected so when it comes to the sound system you will get four speakers and 160 watts for the LX that isn't a whole lot but if you go with the Sport EX or EXL trim that we have today you will find an eight speaker sound system with 180 watts and lastly, if you go with the Turing that is gonna give you a 10 speaker sound system including a subwoofer with 450 watts that's gonna be ridiculous but as I said, we do have the eight speaker sound system today so let's go ahead and turn on the radio see what we got playing today and let's test out the clarity of this one Oh I see nothing more than actually decent sound system for the Civics today and not a ton of bass but it's pretty much as expected there the only thing I would have liked a little bit better is a tune button to actually control what station you wanted to change it on especially if you're scrolling through SiriusXM with all of those stations you have to constantly press that channel button on the infotainment screen it takes a little bit of time but with the tune button I think that would be a little bit quicker but that's my only constructive criticism there but last thing I wanted to mention to you guys on that tech display is when you do put the Civics sedan in reverse you will find a rear view camera letting you know who or what is behind you when it does come with dynamic grid lines actually for all trim levels across the board so that is pretty cool and that is going to lead us into safety and so first thing and most important thing I wanted to mention when it comes to safety the Civics sedan is an IIHS top safety pick with the LED headlights found on the touring only so if you wanted the top safety pick version of the Civics sedan go with the touring trim otherwise it's not front side, side curtain airbags will come standard in the back you're gonna have latch aka lower anchors to tether your children for the rear car seats also back there rear child door locks there is a tire pressure monitoring system but also standard for all trims across the board automatic high beams as well as Honda sensing and so Honda sensing is Honda's version of advanced safety features and that will include collision mitigation braking system, road departure mitigation system adaptive cruise control that's a big one because that doesn't come standard on every manufacturer out there lane keep assist for collision warning and lane departure warning as well and so when it comes to my final thoughts of the 2020 Honda Civics sedan I've personally always been partial to Civics if I wasn't I wouldn't have purchased three of them and part of the reason I am partial to them is because I trust their reliability I think the Civic that I kept the longest went around 230,000 miles and I was dang proud of it I wanted to take that thing as long as I could and it never had any issues so I'm sure it could have kept on going but the handling is also a big plus for me and the Civics sedan it's definitely a way to your steering feel and it's something that I've always enjoyed taking on back roads because the handling is spot on on this one excellent fuel economy that's another huge plus like I had mentioned to you guys I got up to 50 miles per gallon in one of my older Civics and I'm sure this one can do just the same if I did that much highway driving with that econ button but then on the other side of things when it comes to room for improvement there's always room for improvement no matter what vehicle I check out I feel like for example ambient lighting would have loved to have seen ambient lighting just like the Volkswagen Jedi recently reviewed exterior design when it comes to that that's probably one of the other things that holds me back a little bit the front end is absolutely amazing they nailed that but the side profile and specifically the back end it's something I would have changed a little bit the overall teardrop kind of shape is kind of reminiscent of a Toyota Prius or even the Honda Insight not that I think the Honda Insight is bad looking I just don't want the Civics sedan a sportier car in nature to show the shape of a hybrid I guess it's just two completely different cars it should be more of a sportier shape kind of like the Civics used to be honestly specifically back maybe 96 to 2001 for example the Civics they used in fast and furious even that would have been awesome but then in the back end I just think it needs to be brought back down a little bit the back end is left a little bit higher I've said this in other videos when I mentioned design that's brought back down like let's say the 2000 Honda Civic that would have been a much better design in the back at least in my opinion but overall a very solid pick nonetheless again if you're looking for fuel economy it doesn't get much better than this also the steering feel is absolutely amazing now my personal experience with Civics they've always gone over 200,000 miles so you really can't beat that but that is about it for this one you guys thank you so much for watching feel free to follow me on social media at the bottom of the screen there

That was very nice And path Rear Muff was Steelers Michael Joseph Oh, I think what not sports is just uh, what not specific Like because you know how what not you can sell a lot of different things on their platform I think when we tag what not sports, that's just the like what not official page For just the breaking like hobby part of their of their community If that that's what that's what you mean Because like there's like at what not which of course is like the official just instagram of what not But then they kind of separate it out like at what not sports at what not pokemon or you know, etc Etc. Alrighty guys. Well, I'd have to say pretty solid first box not a bad second box But a Zach Wilson nebula one-on-one Uh, Greg Newsom is your autograph Tyler Murray boom boom Sorry, this is backwards Peyton Manning black gold very nice. Appreciate you guys the next two boxers on the website Uh jaspyscasebreak.com


Hello friends, I am Sanjay Gupta. I welcome you on Sanjay Gupta Tech School. In this video, I am going to explain how you can read structure from file and how you can write structure variable into a file. So before starting, if you go to description of this video, you will find links of pages, playlists, related to C language. So you can follow them. Now coming onto the topic. So I will be explaining two separate programs. So first program will be reading data from user and storing that into a file. So for example, I am going to read student data through structure from user and I am going to write that structure variable into a file. Then in second program, I will be reading that structure variable from file and I am going to write that structure variable into second one. So this will be the first process and this will be the second process. So let's start the first process. So before implementing main function, I need to write the structure because I am going to use this structure inside main function. So struct student, its members are rule number, integer type, main is of type character and then I am drawing it here. Then I am writing main function, inside main function, I am declaring file pointer so that I can open a particular file. Then I am declaring a structure, sorry, I am going to declare structure variable struct student S. So this struct student is a data type because we declared it before main and this is the variable of structure. So I hope if you are watching this video, it means you have already watched videos or you have not as related to structure. So I hope you understood what is the statement. So now first we need to open this file. Then we need to read the data from user and then we need to write that into file one. So now I am going to open the file. So name of file is file one dot pxt. I am going to open it in w mode because I am going to write data into it. And in setting program, I will be opening this into w mode. Now after this, you can check condition if fpw equals to null. So if your file is not opened due to any reason, whether you have not sufficient space or you have not, your file is not available in the system. So in any case, your file pointer is having null. Then you can print a message by null form and you can write exit so that the further steps will not be executed. Now after this, you can write a print test and you can display the message and enter roll number and name. And you can read that roll number to scan as %p and %s dot roll number. So this is the process through which we can read matters of structure. So we need to use structure variable then dot and then structure map. Then to read name, I am using letters as dot name. So this way structure variable s is containing a student name and its roll number as a rule. So now I need to write this structure variable as a whole into the file. So for that purpose, I am going to use a predefined function that is f write then address of s. So this is structure variable, its address we need to pass. Then we need to tell the size of struct student. So we need to define like which type of variable we are going to write into file. Then we need to tell the quantity. So right now this s is a variable. Let's say you have this area of structure. If you are writing this area of structure, so in that case, instead of writing one here, you will write 10. Because this area is containing 10 elements. But right now we don't have any area, we have just variable. So I am writing one and the file pointer in which we are going to write the data. So this s will be stored into this file pointer and this file pointer is pointing to this file one not used. So it means the data which is provided by the user will be stored into this file one effectively with the help of this f write. And you can see with a statement statement, we are able to write the data which is available into a structure. And after this, you can write as close fp. So then we close the main function. So as close with close, the open file which is stored, whose address is stored into fp pointer. So this way I hope you understood this process. So first we receive input from user and then we store the input data into file one. And now with the help of this file one, I am going to implement a steady program. So this time file one will be opened in read mode and file two will be opened in w mode. So whatever data we stored right now with this program into file one, we are going to read this and we are going to copy this into file one. So I am going to give you some statements. So this time we need two files. So I am using these. I need to find pointers because I am going to open two files. So this is f1. This is f2 then structure variable now f1 will be open into read mode. So then we can read the data which is available into it. Then f2 equals to f open. Here I am writing file 2.exe and it will be open in w mode. After opening both the files we need to flag if f1 w equals to null or f2 w equals to null. So if any file pointer whether it is f1 or it is f2 will be containing null. And this condition will be true. And you can write printf file not sum and exit one. So if exit is executed it means after this whatever you have written will not be executed. So if both the file pointers are not equal to null. It means they are pointing to a particular file. Similarly this condition will be false otherwise it will be true. So let's say if this condition is false. So control will be here and I am writing every so that I can read structure from this file. I am going to read structure into this s variable then size of structure. So I am indicating like how much memory a particular variable required and the quantity available is 1. So this amount of data one time will be received from f1 file. So f1 will be storing the data into this s variable. So whatever is available into f1 will be stored into s variable and this much size and single point. So if you have stored data of two students into pipeline. So the data of a student will be received off. So if you want to store multiple students data then you can convert this structure variable into add right. And here you can write f right address of s size of struct student 1, f2. So this time value of s will be stored into f2. And then you can write f close all. So this time we open two bytes with two file pointers. So if you want to close those files together so you can use f close all instead of f close. So this way I hope you understood how we transfer the data which is available into file 1 into file 2 with help of every reply. And these two functions are capable of reading structure from file and writing structure into file 2. So I hope you understood whatever I explained in this video. And you can implement both the programs in your laptop so that you can understand them well. And if you want to watch more programming related videos then go to description of this video. And there you will find links of various playlists. There you will find lots of videos related to C language so do watch them. And thank you for watching this video.


To this is for them niggas. That's always in my inbox like listen if you're not gonna ask for my cash up Just so I can keep up myself. So you can keep looking at me on Instagram.
