ash regan, who leads alba in the scottish parliament, is obviously in a highly influential position, given the political arithmetic. she will be meeting with humza yousaf at his invitation. she'll take with her some very reasonable, positive proposals which, hopefully, if the first minister accepts them, will help him to get out of a very tight political corner. the main opposition parties say the first minister has run out of road, but the snp leader struggles on in a bid to secure enough support to keep hisjob. alexandra mackenzie, bbc news. ukraine's commander—in—chief has said the situation on the front line there has worsened in the face of multiple russian attacks. he confirmed that ukrainian forces had withdrawn from positions close to the town of pokrovsk in the eastern donetsk region, where there has been fierce fighting. he also said russia had what he called "partial successes" near kupyansk, but said ukrainian forces had stopped their advance. russia is trying to take advantage of its current superiority in manpower and artillery before ukrainian forces get supplies o

history of the scottish parliament. the 2030 targets could and should have been met. we need urgent climate action this decade, not more delays like this. the snp and its partners in government, the scottish greens, are now under pressure to explain in detail how scotland can credibly meet its 2045 emissions target without hitting the 2030 milestone. james cook, bbc news. in many parts of the world, cinemas are still struggling to bring in audiences. in some instances, film fans not totally won over by streaming are exploring new ways of watching movies by going to what are called microcinemas. micro—cinemas can be found in all kinds of new york locations. inside this former fire station, or behind this non—descript brooklyn store front. they are modest, makeshift spaces often showing experimental or non—mainstream work. micro—cinema is put simply just a small cinema. you really don't need more than folding chairs, a projector and a white wall. staffed often by dedicated volunteers with a passion for film, micro

this has been a really interesting day here at the scottish parliament because of course, here in edinburgh, the greens as james was pointing out, are in government with the snp. so this has been a day, as the scottish conservatives have been saying, of abject humiliation for the snp, and the greens in government. now, of course, they are still hoping to reach that 2045 net—zero target, but they are dropping this interim target and what makes it perhaps particularly embarrassing for the government here is that they have been quite forceful in the past in having these world—leading targets as they have been described. the former first minister nicola sturgeon said they were the most stretching in the world. it will be interesting now for us to wait and see not only the reaction from the opposition parties here, but also the reaction from green party members as well who have to agree to the greens standing up being in government with the snp. some people have also said this might be the lib dem moment for the greens, of course, the lib dems were in coalition with the conservative party at
