Scotland Changes Leader

Hundreds of activists rallied in Glasgow on Saturday to urge world leaders to act on climate change, in the biggest protests yet in the Scottish city ahead of the crucial COP26 summit.

There is a running joke in Scotland that it has more pandas than Conservative members of parliament. The centre-right unionist party has been an endangered species in Scotland for two decades -- it has one MP compared to two pandas at the Edinburgh zoo -- but that could change on June 8.

Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond will step down as leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP) at its annual conference on Friday after Scots voted against independence in September.
