Billions of pounds could be wiped off Scotland's economy without an extension to the Brexit transition period, according to the Scottish government.

Economic modelling, external suggests GDP could be between £1.1bn and £1.8bn lower by 2022 (0.7% to 1.1%) without a delay.

The transition period, due to end on 31 December, can be extended by up to two years if agreed by the end of June.

The UK government has said it has no intention of doing so, and needs "flexibility" to deal with coronavirus.

Scottish Premiership clubs will be able to live stream matches and sell virtual season tickets after a deal was struck with Sky Sports.

The SPFL has also reached a settlement with Sky - believed to be £1.5m over five years - for games not broadcast when the 2019-20 season was curtailed.

The top-flight campaign is scheduled to start on 1 August behind closed doors.

Sky's £160m five-year deal allows it to show 48 games each season, but all other matches can be streamed by clubs.

Councils across Scotland are facing a £100m funding shortfall because of the coronavirus pandemic, Holyrood has heard.

The Scottish government intends to give councils an additional £155m, but local government organisation Cosla says this will not be enough to cope with the impact of the pandemic.

Its president Alison Evison told the local government committee that the budgets set by councils earlier this year "do not make sense now".

Councils have faced a range of additional costs linked to the pandemic - for instance providing help to the vulnerable and running hubs for the children of key workers.

Labour MSP Iain Gray says SCVO has reported this week that half of all Scottish charities will run out of cash in six months and fear closure.

Many have been unable to access crisis funds, he adds, asking how the first minister will respond to "this cry for help from a critical sector".

The first minister says she understands how critical this sector is and she says she deeply values the contribution it makes.

"I desperately want to see charities get though this crisis and flourish at the other end of it.

"I will give an assurance the Scottish government will do everything we can to support that."

She goes on to say every single one of us has a part to play here and everyone able to can perhaps think about making a donation to a charity.

Labour's Pauline McNeill has a question on support for young people shielding, saying she knows of two 19-year-olds who have had to give up jobs, resulting in a loss of income and opportunity.

Nicola Sturgeon replies that it is important to understand the shielded group are all individuals with their own needs and circumstances and says the government will be moving from "generic blanket advice to more tailored advice".

She points out that there is essential support available in terms of food and medicine, along with the provision of mental health care.

The first minister also appeals to employers to understand that those in the shielded category will not always display symptoms of illness or a critical condition and asks them to be flexible and allow work from home where possible.

SNP MSP Bob Doris highlights people with no recourse to public funds are facing destitution because they are not eligible for financial support, including those given temporary leave to remain.

'No recourse to public funds' is a standard condition applied to those staying here with a temporary immigration status.

The first minister says the Scottish government has consistently raised this issue with the Home Office.

She hopes the policy will be reversed, adding people who have come to this country must be assisted if our communities and economy is to recover from coronavirus.

Former Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson has a question on shielding - citing a concerned parent with cystic fibrosis who is worried his daughter may miss her first day at school because of his health.

The first minister says updated information to the shielded group, which will be issued soon, will be as "detailed and comprehensive" as possible.

"We want to be able to answer as many of these questions as possible," says Nicola Sturgeon.

Labour MSP Daniel Johnson asks about reports that Scotland has one of the highest per capita death rates for Covid-19 in the world.

The first minister says deaths in Scotland are higher than anyone wants them to be, and every single death is a tragedy.

However, she warns any direct comparisons with other countries is complex due to different ways of counting and different stages of the pandemic.

Mr Johnson says analysis from the Financial Times indicates the UK has had the second worst outbreak in Europe, with Scotland the third worst. He says the Scottish government must be held to account.

Willie Rennie says only 264 people have tested positive since the launch of the government's Test and Protect system last Thursday.

That’s just 1% of those estimated to have the virus, he says, asking why so many people are being missed.

The Scottish Lib Dem leader points out that Test and Protect is only going to protect us from 1% of the virus.

He asks what is the value of the Test and Protect system and is it capable of eradicating the virus.

The first minister replies: “Yes, I believe it is capable of playing a significant part in suppressing and hopefully eradicating the virus.”

Ms Sturgeon reiterates it won’t do it on its own and we will all have to play a part in complying with health advice and in particular physical distancing guidelines.

Willie Rennie says the Scottish government estimates that 19,000 people in Scotland have the virus.

The Scottish Lib Dem leader says that last week the Test and Protect system was launched and asks how many of those 19,000 have been tested and had their contacts traced.

The first minister replies: “We don’t yet have initial data from Test and Protect.”

Ms Sturgeon adds she hopes that data will be published next week.

Green Party co-leader Patrick Harvie urges anyone thinking about joining a Black Lives Matter protest over the weekend to behave responsibly and to respect social distancing, with those sentiments echoed by the first minister.

Nicola Sturgeon says if people do take to Scotland's streets, they "do it safely and not put others at risk."

Scottish Green Party co-leader Patrick Harvie says he stands in solidarity with US protestors campaigning against racism before asking when the Scottish government will be publishing any findings on the risk to ethnic minorities of the virus.

He also asks what action the government will take.

The first minister insists she will always be dedicated to combating racism and refers to earlier research from Public Health Scotland that found the risk to those from BAME backgrounds appeared no higher in Scotland.

However, she does add that further work is required in the field when more data becomes available.
