Nicola Sturgeon on new £420m flood protection strategy
The first minister has announced a 10-year flood prevention strategy worth more than £400m.
Nicola Sturgeon was visiting Newton Stewart, which was badly hit by floods last December, when she gave details of the Scotland-wide scheme.
The Scottish government will budget £42m each year for 10 years, to create a total of 40 new flood prevention schemes designed to help protect those who are most at risk.
BBC Scotland's political correspondent Andrew Kerr reports.
