00:22 Look, this is a difficult time. I don't think I'm revealing any secrets in saying that,
00:27 but there's absolutely nothing I can say given the circumstances.
00:30 So I'm now going to go out for a walk, if that's alright with you.
00:34 I know you've got jobs to do, but I'd also ask you maybe to give my neighbours some peace.
00:39 There's nothing going to be happening here.
00:42 How difficult is this for you personally?
00:44 It's incredibly difficult, but that's not the main issue here.

01:07 These are serious, serious developments.
01:11 And as per the police statement, we now know that an individual has been charged,
01:19 Peter has been charged, with the allegation of embezzlement from party funds.
01:25 And that's a really serious matter indeed.
01:28 Many people in the SNP, right across Scottish politics, will be shocked by the news.
01:36 This is an ongoing investigation. Police, the Crown, have a job to do,
01:43 just as I have a job to do as First Minister.
01:46 And that job, of course, is ensuring that I support business,
01:50 that I help households at the cost of a living crisis,
01:53 that I help to cut waiting times in the NHS, that I advance the cause of independence.
01:57 So that's the job that you can imagine I'm focused on.
