but certainly in any election, my part of the scottish national party will be wanting to put the scottish interest absolutely. foremost in that good for the prime minister, who said that sure, our goal was to ignore the democratically elected 1st minister of scotland. nicholas dungeon, i think which you was trustful, were not be more than this play minister in that sense. under the sooner we can have something better, that will be all to the good. as i outlined, mechanism for general action just isn't there. how do you see this is happening? well, that could be through a hold of no confidence in the prime minister. it with the line conservatives voting that way, but i think if they recognized that the only way forward was a general election, then the mechanism would be found in order to do that. but right under the unwritten constitution we have in the united kingdom by a very much wish. this wasn't the case, but you're right, the rational route to that and it's whoever can command our majority in the house of commons. or i think it would be extraordinary signal, the democrats, a competit

and the question for the scottish national party in the next general election is, ok, if this is goingbe sure that that's what people are actually voting for? people vote in general elections for all kinds of reasons and all kinds of motivations as they go to the polls. and, you know, a question i would be asking and i have been asking, in fact, people in the party is — is it a one line manifesto from the scottish national party in the next election from the snp just saying — scotland should be an independent country and if you vote for the snp, you're voting for us to open negotiations with westminster to secede from the union? now, i was speaking to someone quite senior in the party who was saying they don't think that's likely, but they think the entire manifesto, if this goes ahead, if this happens, if we end up in this scenario, will be based around that and will be a manifesto drawn up to describe why independence would be, in their view, the way forward for scotland. now... but to come to your point, it's a time of extraordinary turmoil and i think that cuts both ways, because o

the scottish national party has accused the uk government of "chaos and confusion" when it opened its he also said that independence is the only way for scotland to — as he put it — "get rid of the tories for good". 0ur political correspondent david wallace lockhart is there for us in aberdeen. interesting, reflecting on the dup conference today alongside the snp conference. very different sorts of conversations going on about the respective places in the union. what you think the snp is hoping to achieve from its this year? well, like every year, the snp conference, m this is the first time they have been able to physically get together since the pandemic, one aim of the conferences to boost the morale of the party faithful, of the activists, but then everyone who goes on that stage to speak nose thatis goes on that stage to speak nose that is the potential of what they say to go wider than the delegates here and we heard earlier on from keith brown, the snp �*s deputy leader, really pointing the finger of blame for a recent economic problems at the door of liz truss and the uk gover

scottish mps are already dissatisfied with the new prime minister of britain, the head of the scottish national partyon in blackford parliament. he says that the sunok will be as bad for his people as johnson about the lister. no one remembers rish anymore, just like johnson was also at an illegal lockdown party and also paid a symbolic fine, as for unpaid parking , it means if the conservative party considered crystal honesty and the absence of fines obligatory for the position, the risha would not have passed to power today with his premiership. sunak is obliged to fight johnson, firstly, because johnson mediocrely missed power and secondly, because when power was mediocre or passion was lost, johnson returned, and fears of new alcohol sexual scandals within the party returned to the country, so risha is an antidote , antiboris. and anti-stress, and the country and the party have hope, it is connected with the fact that neither one nor the other will fall apart, well, boris johnson has the hope that risha will be good, but not so good as not to let him return lisa herzen boris hausen natalya markev

that there's that also placement in blackford as a member of parliament and leader of the scottish national party and the british parliament speak speaking out there, he said the government has new economic credibility and just call an election. what's been referred to as cross adobe has been trust, has been put into the bid and everything that the trust government brought forward with that financial statement a few weeks ago was no longer there. but let's not forget that the damage that this has caused these unfunded tax cuts ended up with the financial crisis, with a run in the pony with the bank of england having to step in and buy bonds to stop pension funds, crushing. but ultimately, what it does mean is that millions of people that will be renegotiating the mortgages are facing sharply higher rates. what's been estimated by the resolution foundation as people paying thousands pounds, vor and mortgage costs. and the blame for this lies with the prime minister. she needs to accept the responsibility of the chaos that she has cause i, quite frankly, tonight i think what the british public one

the scottish national party conference has begun in aberdeen, in person for the first time since theiticise the prime minister, liz truss, telling delegates she was a �*symptom of the dysfunction at westminster�*. at their party conference, the dup leader has warned power sharing in northern ireland won't be restored unless his party's demands on the northern ireland protocol are met. sirjeffrey donaldson said the protocol was contributing to the cost—of—living crisis. the dup is refusing to rejoin power—sharing until changes are made to the part of the brexit deal covering trade in northern ireland. one of britain's most notorious serial killers, peter tobin, has died afterfalling ill in prison. the 76 year old, who was serving three life sentences, was taken from hmp edinburgh to hospital on wednesday. david cowan reports. a schoolgirl waiting for a bus on a winter's night. as each day goes past, i lose a bit more faith that she's still alive. i pray to god that she is. an 18—year—old hitchhiking home from a music festival. 1% of me thinks she's alive and the other 99% thinks she's

the scottish national party leader was talking to our political editor, chris mason, ahead of the start stage for the next party conference. the snp run scotland and are the third biggest party at westminster. but the first minister told me she's still not had liz truss on the phone — a month after she became prime minister. i don't know whether that is arrogance, lack of respect or insecurity — whatever it is, it's not the right way to do government in a grown—up way. hovering over this gathering is a ruling coming soon from the supreme court on whether the scottish government can legally hold an independence referendum. the weight of legal opinion suggests the answer will be no. nicola sturgeon wants another referendum next year. let's talk about priorities. a poll by survation in the last week suggesting just 35% of people in scotland want a referendum in the next year. you've acknowledged we're in the middle of a cost of living crisis, there's war in europe. is it the right priority for you to be talking about a constitutional question right now? i was elected as first minister on a

yes, a great shock here as it is across the uk and the same calls here we have had from the scottish national partyt we have heard from the labour leader, sir keir starmer, calls for an immediate general election. that is what nicola sturgeon told me when i spoke to her moments ago. she said it is a necessity the country should go to the polls. liz truss was the fourth prime minister nicola sturgeon had to deal with, but in truth she didn�*t deal with her at all. liz truss said she would ignore nicola sturgeon and in the end, that is what she said. the two of them in the 45 days had no formal discussions at all, no telephone call whatsoever, they exchanged a few words informally after the death of the queen, but there was no formal start of the relationship between the two governments. what happens now? nicola sturgeon said liz truss would be a footnote in the realms of political history. i asked about borisjohnson and the possibility of his returning to british politics at the highest level. she said it was a ludicrous idea and a ridiculous idea. it is worth pointing out the scottish conservative

but at the same time assured her supporters that even if such a decision is negative, the scottish national partyh she leads, will participate in the next elections, and if the majority votes for this political force that advocates independence from great britain, it can be considered an informal referendum, and anyway ms. sterzhen then added that she still hopes that the referendum will take place next year. literally in two days, well, and in conclusion. and where is kirill? i am talking about a person who called himself the patriarch of the so -called rpc a few days ago in the press service of this organization, because it is impossible to call it a church they reported that kyrylo had contracted the coronavirus, that the disease would be in a mild form, that he would be working at home, where he was being treated, but the day before , there was information that everything might not be as good with him as they are trying to report to the hospital. and some even say that he could and die, unfortunately, the information has not yet been confirmed, but always when the russians actively deny somet

the scottish national party said it was a sleazy back room deal. and what they're saying is that sula braverman who had potentially harboured leadership chances herself or leadership ambitions herself chose to throw her weight behind. richie soon acts leadership, successful leadership bed and therefore. busy she was being rewarded with an early return to cabinet. and of course, these are accusations and the they were denied by the prime minister who resorted that this was simply him making a united cabinet that brings experienced and stability to the heart of government. and i think it's not good, it really seriously damage richie stew neck, but it does call into question his professed aim to bring integrity, professionalism, and accountability back to the heart of government. it's. it's an early set back, but not one in this honeymoon period that i think it's going to wound him too badly . all right, thanks so much for brian that still have an al jazeera, the 90 year old former head of the catholic church in hong kong appears in court. who's been
