nicola sturgeon resigns as first minister of scotland and leader of the scottish national party. she says after eight years as leader she can no longer give the job the commitment it deserves. giving absolutely everything of yourself to this job is the only way to do it. the country deserves nothing less. but in truth, that can only be done by anyone for so long. pressure had been mounting on the first minister but here in edinburgh there is still a sense of shock at this sudden decision. we'll have all the political reaction to the announcement. also this lunchtime... the bittersweet gene therapy that can save the life of toddler teddi shaw, but not her terminally ill older sister with the same condition. two 15—year—olds appear in court charged with the murder of brianna ghey. the death toll from the earthquakes in turkey and syria rises to more than 40,000 but people are still being rescued alive — nine days on. and more turmoilfor welsh rugby, as players threaten strike action over uncertainty about their playing contracts. and coming up on the bbc news channel. welsh rugby p

it shows no sign, whoever is the leader of the scottish national party, of going away.t: james cook, many thanks for joining us. nine days after the deadly earthquakes that hit the eastern mediterranean region, thousands of syrian war refugees who fled to turkey have lined border ossings in the hope of retuing to their home country. millions of others across the two nations are living in makeshift camps and are in desperate need of aid. caroline davies visited a hospital ship that is more near the quake's epicenter, and she sent this report. caroline: in the aftermath of the earthquake, shelter and help come in many forms. these arrivals are boarding a floating hospital. the ship arrived about five days ago. it is normally used as a tourist ship, but now of course it is a floating hospital. here is where people are and are assessed on what need they have. on board, they offer checkups, a pharmacy and warm food for up to 1000 people. nadia and her children have slept here for the last several days. >> for a couple of days, we were on the streets until the ship arrived. w

let's talk now to the scottish national party mp for angus, david doogan. ep down? i think everybody across the independence - to step down? i think everybody - across the independence movement yesterday was shocked at nicola's announcement and plans to step down as leader and first minister of scotland. the way she, as she always does, skilfully laid out the reasons and reasoning behind her decision i think left all of us in no doubt that she has always had and always does make a strategic decision in the interest of the snp but principally in the interests of scotland, which will be best served by independence. and she has made what must have been an extremely difficult decision, and acknowledged the way the media works has resulted in her becoming a divisive figure in some people's eyes and that's having a material impediment to the progress of the independence movement. i think i wish it wasn't so but in the event that her analysis says that it is, i have to accept that, and so do we all across the independence movement, but she is and always will be a g

so the scottish national party is now looking for a new leader and a new path. they are now in a state of flux, and the key question for them is what do you do about independence? what's the independent strategy? and mckeever is a political analyst who watches scottish politics closely. it comes back to the decision that the u. k. supreme court made the backend of last year, where they said the scottish parliament did not have the power to hold a referendum by itself. nicholas surgeon's answer to that question was what she called the defect to referendum. in other words, she boutique a national election like the general election that we expect next year. and she would turn that into a vote on independence, but many in the s n p. so this is too risky, and it looks like the tactic is now dead in the water. a special party conference where sturgeon would have argued for it has been called off for now. appetite for an imminent rerun if the 2014 referendum is falling. and recent polls suggest pro independence has become a minority view. once again, nicholas sturgeon'

the scottish national party begins the task of choosing a new leader — after nicola sturgeon steps downs first minister. there is no obvious person who has the charisma of nicola sturgeon and alex salmond who might be able to do the job and to push support for independence up. but that's the task that will face them. an italian court acquits the former prime minister, silvio berlusconi, of bribing witnesses to lie about his "bunga bunga" — sex parties. # i can rub and scrub this house # till it's shining just like a dime...# coffee 7 and tributes for the hollywood film star and model raquel welsh, who's died at the age of 82. thousands of refugees who fled the war in syria to cross into turkey have arrived at the border hoping to go back to their home country after last week's earthquakes. turkey has said it will allow them to leave for up to six months. the combined death toll in turkey and syria has climbed to more than 41,000, and millions are in need of humanitarian aid. the bbc�*s laura bicker has been to antakya close to the turkish border, where desparate syrian families continue

anyone who wants to run for the leadership of the scottish national party has to garner enough supportpresumably be a contest, we very much expect a contest, which will happen over two weeks in march with the winner being announced after the ballot closes on monday the 27th of march. and then the scottish parliament will have to decide whether they want to vote that person in as first minister which seems very likely. one person who as you said a few moments ago will not be standing asjohn swinney, the deputy first minister, saying this evening, the snp needs to carefully consider and with a fresh perspective our aims. he says he is encouraging an open debate within the snp to chart the direction and that, many will see as a reference to this conference which was going to this conference which was going to discuss the tactics for independence, including this controversial idea of perhaps turning the next general election into a referendum on independence by default. that has been postponed. james cook in edinburgh, thank you. the hollywood actor bruce willis has been diagnosed with dem
