Hours before a major report on the 2020 Covid pandemic is due for release the first minister is quizzed about his decision making during the crisis.
Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar tells John Swinney, who played key government roles during the Covid years, that he has serious questions to answer.
Swinney says he is sorry for the suffering and adds that the actions of ministers were based on the "information at the time".
Scottish Conservative leader Russell Findlay focuses on what he calls the "national emergency" faced by the oil and gas industry.
He urged Swinney to back his call for the UK government to drop its energy profits levy in next week's budget. The first minister says his government has already made that call and reminded Findlay that it was the last Conservative government which brought in the windfall tax.

After congratulating Scotland's footballers on qualifying for next year's World Cup finals, the Scottish Conservative leader turns to the news that hundreds of jobs are to go at Exxon Mobil's plant at Mossmorran in Fife.
"Scotland's oil and gas industry is being destroyed before our eyes," he says.
Findlay blames both the Labour and SNP governments and he asks where the Mossmorran transition plan is.

Football has managed a rare feat. It's united Scotland's politicians.
The Conservative MSP and referee Douglas Ross asked an urgent question about the World Cup qualification at Holyrood yesterday, pointing out it was something MSPs had never discussed before because the last time the Scotland team were at the World cup was pre devolution.
He said the match was "breathtaking, nerve-wracking and emotional" and that next year's tournament would be the better for the Tartan Army's presence.
