Pro-Palestinian protesters disrupt Fringe event featuring John Swinney
Mr Swinney was speaking to comedian Susan Morrison when the event was disrupted five times by six different groups of protesters who held up signs that spelled the word 'genocide'.
As the event went on, tensions rose between the protesters and other members of the crowd, with three police officers called in and the First Minister's security team forced to keep people back from berating Mr Swinney on the stage.
The protesters shouted at the First Minister to stop funding arms companies through the Government's commercial arm Scottish Enterprise, as well as to describe the ongoing crisis in Gaza as a 'genocide'.
The First Minister sat quietly during the protests.

What do this year's exam results mean for the future of the Scottish education system?
Around the time that Scottish school pupils were sitting their preliminary exams in February, people in the SNP were whispering in my ear that the Education Secretary, Jenny Gilruth, was vulnerable to being moved from her post in a Scottish Government reshuffle. Today, alongside many young people north of the border, the education secretary will be relieved at this year's exam results. She will see them both as a vindication of how she is doing her job – and the fact that she kept it. Overall attainment is up, with 30.8 per cent of pupils who sat a Higher exam receiving an A grade and 75.9 per cent passing their tests. That is a slight increase on last year and – in the case of top grades – a decent bump on the 2019 results, which were the last set of exams sat before the Covid-19 pandemic. The awards handed out during the various lockdowns were higher than usual as pupils had high-stakes exams removed. In 2020, they were based on heavily moderated teacher estimates before a series of smaller assessments were then used to determine grades the following year. These latest set of results were a key test after a series of controversies last year: from falling pass rates, to blank emails being sent to thousands of pupils instead of exam results, to controversy over how some exams were marked. Chaos, in other words. It had to go smoothly this year and, so far, it has for Gilruth. So, that's the good news. The downside is that the SNP is still being judged on a pledge made a decade ago by former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. 'My aim - to put it bluntly - is to close the attainment gap completely,' she said in a 2015 speech. 'It will not be done overnight - I accept that. But it must be done.' The following year, the Scottish Government's programme for government said ministers were aiming to 'substantially eliminate the gap over the course of the next decade'. Well, we're 12 months out from that deadline, and while the gap has narrowed a little year on year, it is largely stuck at the same level as it was pre-pandemic. Indeed, it has widened for advanced highers. Gilruth, a former modern studies teacher, who was appointed to her cabinet post in 2023, believes that the key to progress is by focusing on what goes on in classrooms and listening to those leading them. Her family and friends still work in the profession, meaning she is left in no doubt about concerns from those on the frontline. She is determined to work with teachers and that has informed her approach to the new body, Qualifications Scotland, which will run next year's exams. Donna Stewart, Scotland's chief examining officer, is a former deputy headteacher, and others are being moved straight from classrooms into senior positions. Teachers at the sharp end say this is filtering down to them with a 'very positive' Curriculum Improvement Cycle, which was set up in 2021 to help develop how subjects are taught, listening to those in classrooms and being unafraid to criticise the outgoing Scottish Qualifications Authority. The SQA is being scrapped – and replaced by Qualifications Scotland – because of a series of exam controversies. The biggest of these was the decision to use an algorithm to use schools' past performances to change some pupils' grades when exams were first scrapped during the 2020 lockdown. After public protests from pupils and teachers – and a vote of no confidence being tabled in the education secretary of the day – 124,000 exam results were reinstated. So who was that education secretary, who survived that vote on his future only after U-turning on the original policy? It was the current First Minister, John Swinney. If these exam results are signs that a mess is being cleared up, his successor could argue that much of the untidiness is of her boss's making.

Starmer has ‘made a mistake' with plan to recognise Palestinian state
The Government last week said it will recognise a Palestinian state in September unless Israel agrees to meet certain conditions, including a ceasefire and a revival of the two-state solution. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister reiterated that Hamas must release the hostages, sign up to a ceasefire, disarm and play no role in the government of Gaza. The Government will then make an assessment in September 'on how far the parties have met these steps', the Prime Minister said. During a visit to a farm in Little Walden, Essex, on Tuesday, Mrs Badenoch said she would never agree to recognising a Palestinian state while Hamas is still in power in Gaza. She said: 'Absolutely not. No. Hamas is a terrorist organisation. We should not be creating a new terrorist state. 'This is basic stuff, and I don't understand why Keir Starmer doesn't understand that.' The Tory leader added: 'Keir Starmer has made a mistake. What we need to focus on now is a ceasefire and getting the hostages home. 'We've been seeing images of a hostage who looks like he's being starved to death, forced to dig his own grave. This is what Hamas is about. 'Now is not the time to reward them for their atrocities and for the massacre they committed on October 7 by giving them statehood recognition. 'We want to see a two-state solution after a peace settlement done in the right way at the right time. It is not the right thing to do now. 'And I'm not surprised that British hostages like Emily Damari have condemned the Government for the approach they've taken.' Ms Damari, a British-Israeli woman who was held hostage by Hamas for more than a year, has said she believes Sir Keir is 'not standing on the right side of history' after his conditional pledge to recognise Palestine. Mrs Badenoch's comments came as it was announced a protest will take place in London this weekend opposing Sir Keir's plans to recognise Palestine as a state. Demonstrators, including some British family members of hostages still held by Hamas, will march on Downing Street calling for the release of the remaining hostages before any talk about the recognition of Palestine. Marchers will include the relatives of Avinatan Or, who was kidnapped from the Nova music festival with his girlfriend Noa Argamani. Mr Or's cousin Ariel Felber, from London, said: 'Keir Starmer has failed the hostages and their families by not making it a condition that all the remaining hostages are brought home to their loved ones before he can even entertain talk of state recognition of Palestine. 'He urgently needs to correct this.' Steve Brisley from Bridgend, Wales, whose sister and nieces were murdered on October 7 and his brother-in-law Eli taken hostage, said: 'As British families of hostages and victims, devastated by the ongoing suffering of our loved ones, our emotional torture has been exacerbated by the suggestion that the UK may recognise a Palestinian state without securing the release of the hostages as an absolute precondition. 'This is not about politics. This is about basic humanity.' The family members are expected to be joined by Jewish leaders and other supporters on their National March For The Hostages through central London on Sunday afternoon. Tzipi Hotovely, Israeli ambassador to the UK, said on X that Hamas's actions 'must never be rewarded' as she highlighted the plight of one of the hostages, 24-year-old Evyatar David. Hamas released a video on Saturday which showed Mr David looking skeletal and hollow-eyed in a dimly lit Gaza tunnel. Ms Hotovely said: 'He is clearly malnourished and ill-treated. A shadow of his former self, his suffering is unimaginable. 'Like countless others who saw it, I was appalled by the sickening footage of Evyatar being forced to dig his own grave. 'This abhorrent footage shows Hamas for what they are – wicked terrorists who seek to inflict as much death, destruction and suffering on as many Jews and Israelis as they can. Their actions must never be rewarded.'
