The Swinney takes it all?

Today, we look at who could be the next first minister of Scotland. And an exclusive report from the West Bank.

Right now, John Swinney looks set to become Scotland’s next first minister, as Kate Forbes confirms she will not challenge him. Swinney says he wants to "unite the SNP and Scotland for independence", but will he be able to? Adam speaks Scotland Editor James Cook.

And, as violence in the West Bank escalates, the BBC have found evidence of potential breaches of international law by the Israeli military, including the death of an eight-year-old boy. The IDF say the circumstances of the death are “under review”. Adam is joined by the team who led the investigation, Isobel Yeung and Josh Baker, to hear about their new film ‘The Other War’.
