UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer started his tour of the UK nations in Scotland on Sunday.
He'll first meet Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar and is then due to hold talks with Scotland's First Minister and SNP leader John Swinney, whose party had a disappointing election.
Speaking in an interview with the BBC, Sam White, Starmer's former chief of staff, believes the new PM took the "narrow path" to lead Labour to victory in the general election.

Paris's mayor Anne Hidalgo has swam in the River Seine in a bid to show the water is clean enough for Olympic events.
Three Olympic and Paralympic events are set to be held in the Seine, including the triathlon, marathon swimming and Para-triathlon - though concerns were raised previously about the safety of the water.
Swimming in the Seine has been banned for a century because of the filthy water, caused by upstream industrial sewage and sanitation demands.
City swimming is set to be one of the major legacies of this summer's Olympic Games in France, with three open-air swimming areas set to be accessible from the quayside by 2025.

Spain has become one of Europe’s prime renewable energy hotspots, with a sharp increase in installation of solar and wind generators over the last few years.
However despite the successful move towards green energy sources, electricity consumption has been dropping.
This has triggered concern this could lead to a crisis in the industry.

Powerful Hurricane Beryl has hit Jamaica with heavy winds and rain, damaging buildings and felling trees on the Caribbean island.
The category four storm brought winds of up to 130mph (215km/h) on Jamaica's southern coast.
Social media photos show floodwater pouring down streets, with roofs ripped off by the wind.
The storm has killed at least seven people so far as it sweeps across the Caribbean. It has now been downgraded to a category three storm, and is due to make landfall in Mexico later on Friday.

Joe Biden and Donald Trump have clashed over the war in Ukraine, during the first televised debate of the 2024 US presidential election campaign.
Trump claimed that Russia and Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine because he saw how incompetent Biden's team was in their exit from the war in Afghanistan.
Biden defended his foreign policy record, and claimed that Trump told Putin to do "whatever you want".

The attempted assassination of Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania exposed a series of security lapses that allowed the gunman to mount his assassination attempt.
The gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to access a roof around 130 meters from the podium where Mr Trump was speaking.
It’s the job of the US Secret Service to protect sitting and former presidents. Somehow the gunman managed to breach the security perimeter with a rifle and reach an elevated position close to Mr Trump.
Video of the attack and the accounts of eyewitnesses suggest that members of the crowd became aware of the threat before the police and other security officials and attempted to alert them to the danger It was only when the gunman opened fire that officials recognised the danger and responded, with Thomas Crooks shot dead by armed officers.

A children's hospital has been seriously damaged in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv by Russian strikes, as 24 people were killed across the country in an early morning barrage.
At least 10 people were killed in Kyiv by the rare daytime attack, including two who died at the Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital, which sustained major damage during the blast.
Vitaliy Klitschko, Kyiv's mayor, said the bombardment was "one of the the worst attacks" on the capital since the start of the war.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is visiting Poland where he is expected to sign a security pact, said Russia must face consequences for its attacks on civilians.

A court in Moscow has issued an arrest warrant for the widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny on charges of extremism, according to state media.
The charges brought against Yulia Navalnaya, who lives outside Russia, in absentia are to do with her alleged "participation in an extremist society", Tass news agency said.
The opposition leader - Russia's most significant for the past decade - died in an Arctic Circle jail of natural causes, according to Russian authorities.
Mr Navalny had been serving 19 years on extremism charges that were widely seen as politically motivated.
But his widow accuses Russian President Vladimir Putin of killing him.

China has fiercely rejected accusations from Nato - whose leaders are meeting in Washington - that it's helping maintain Russia's war in Ukraine.
Beijing has described Nato's behaviour as "unreasonable", and urged nations to reflect on the "root causes" of the war.
The Nato gathering has mostly focused on support for Ukraine - but China's role has also come under the spotlight.
The military alliance said Beijing had become Russia's "decisive enabler", with its "large-scale support for Russia’s defense industrial base".
On Thursday, Nato will hold talks with the leaders of several Asia-Pacific countries about China.
Nato Secretary General Stoltenberg will hold a media briefing later in the day.

Japan's number of children has been reported to be at its lowest since 1950.
There are just 14.6 million children in the nation under the age of 14, according to figures from Japan's internal affairs ministry.
Japan's falling birth rate and high life expectancy is putting pressure on public spending and resulting in labour shortages.

Protesters have taken to the streets in Nairobi, Kenya, to challenge the government over a series of unpopular tax proposals - including a 16% levy on bread.
On Tuesday, hundreds of protestors - most of them younger people - braved tear gas lobbed by police to march through the capital, Nairobi, bringing the city's central business district to a standstill.
The government had earlier defended the tax hikes, which had been projected to raise $2.7bn (£2.1bn), saying they were needed to cut reliance on external borrowing.
MPs are now debating the revised bill and are expected to vote on it next Tuesday.

Talks between the Taliban and the international community in Qatar today will centre on measures to combat the production of illegal drugs and the economy.
The UN-led meeting is the first to include Taliban officials since they seized power in Afghanistan more than three years ago.
However, the absence of women at the Taliban’s insistence has prompted criticism from rights groups and activists.
The Taliban’s spokesperson said they wanted to engage, but urged others not to interfere in issues they describe as internal, including women’s rights.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has praised North Korea for "firmly supporting" Moscow's war in Ukraine, ahead of his first visit to Pyongyang in 24 years.
Mr Putin is expected to arrive in the capital to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Tuesday.
The two leaders last met in September at the Vostochny cosmodrome in Russia's far east, but this is Mr Putin’s first visit to Pyongyang since 2000.
The United States said it was concerned about the "deepening relationship between these two countries".

The White House has pushed back on questions about US President Joe Biden’s mental fitness.
Questions about the 81-year-old’s mental sharpness have intensified since a poor debate performance against Donald Trump last month.
Mr Biden took the highly unusual step of phoning in to a morning TV show, saying: "I am not going anywhere."
He dared doubters in the party to either challenge him or unite behind his candidacy.

US President Biden has addressed the nation after what the FBI are treating as an assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were briefed in the situation room by the Homeland Security team and the FBI director.
The president said the FBI is leading the investigation, which is in its early stages.
He said there is still no information about the motive of the shooter.
"I urge everyone, please, don't make assumptions about his motives or his affiliations," Biden said.
"Let the FBI do their job and their partner agencies do their job."
"I've instructed that this investigation be thorough and swift and the investigators will have every resource they need to get this done," he added.

Sejumlah sekolah dasar (SD) negeri di beberapa daerah mengeluhkan kekurangan murid lantaran orang tua murid lebih memilih sekolah swasta dan sekolah berbasis agama. Meski tidak terjadi di seluruh Indonesia, pengamat pendidikan menilai fenomena ini sebagai “peringatan” bagi dunia pendidikan.
Keputusan para orang tua untuk memasukkan anaknya ke sekolah swasta ternyata tidak berhenti pada masalah pilihan pribadi saja. Di beberapa daerah, keputusan para orang tua itu membuat beberapa sekolah negeri kekurangan murid.
Di Kabupaten Blora, Jawa Tengah, sebanyak 530 sekolah negeri dinyatakan mengalami kekurangan murid, seperti yang diberitakan Detik.com pada awal Juni lalu.
Pengamat pendidikan dari Universitas Paramadina, Totok Amin Soefijanto, berpendapat sekolah negeri atau swasta bukanlah masalah, selama memiliki mutu dan kualitas yang sama dan bisa membuat anak didik lebih cerdas dan berakhlak.
Namun, pada kenyataannya, Totok juga tidak menampik bahwa sekolah negeri—tidak semuanya—memang mengalami “penurunan kualitas”, sehingga orang tua lebih memilih menyekolahkan anaknya ke sekolah swasta yang dinilai lebih baik.
Meski memang tidak terjadi secara merata di seluruh wilayah Indonesia, tetapi Totok bilang fenomena ini “tidak bisa diabaikan begitu saja” dan menjadi “peringatan” yang membutuhkan perubahan untuk menghindari masalah di masa mendatang.

ドナルド・トランプ前米大統領が13日、東部ペンシルヴェニア州バトラーで開いた支援者集会で演説中、銃声のようなものが響いた。前大統領は顔をしかめ、右耳を手で押さえ、すぐさま屈みこんだ。
警護担当のシークレットサービスが前大統領を取り囲むと、さらに銃声のような音が続いた。シークレットサービスに囲まれた状態で前大統領が立ち上がると、耳の周りから出血しているように見えた。
「靴をとらせてくれ」と前大統領がシークレットサービスに言うのが聞こえる。続いて前大統領はこぶしを突き上げ、観衆に向かって叫びながら、歩いて警備車両に乗り込んだ。
トランプ陣営によると、前大統領は「無事」という。
捜査当局は米メディアに、男性容疑者と観衆の1人が死亡したと明らかにした。
現場を目撃したというグレッグさんは、BBCのギャリー・オドノヒュー記者の取材に対し、前大統領が演説を始める5分ほど前に、「クマのように」屋根の上をはう不審な人影を見かけたと話した。その人影について、グレッグさんは警察に指摘したという。
「男はライフルを持っていた。明らかにライフルを持っているのが見えた。自分たちはこの男を指でさしていて、警察は地面を走り回っていた。『屋根の上にライフルを持った男がいるぞ』と言っていたのに、警察は何がなんだかわかっていなかった」と、グレッグさんは話した。

Jay Slater's family said their "hearts are broken" after his body was identified in Tenerife.
Almost a month since the 19-year-old was last seen, a Spanish court confirmed that he had been identified through fingerprint tests and his injuries were "consistent with a fall in a rocky area".
The teenager, from Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire, had been missing since 17 June, after visiting an Airbnb rented by two people he had been with at the NRG music festival on the island.
His mother, Debbie Duncan, said "our hearts are broken" following the confirmation, which came after a 29-day search by police, family, friends and volunteers in difficult terrain across a mountainous area of the island.
