it was agreed by me in december 2017 in the wake of public concern about harassment of nicola sturgeon for some time about the investigation, i have had no role in the process and have referred to it before now and to have referred to it before now would have compromised the integrity of the internal investigation. but nicola sturgeon also says alex salmond is now challenging the scottish government's siege in court. she says this focus cannot detract from the fact complaints are made and we re the fact complaints are made and were swept under the carpet. i have been clear on many occasions that all organisations on workplaces must make it possible to report concerns and have confidence they will be treated vastly. this must be applied without fear or favour regardless of the identity, seniority or political allegiance of the person involved. finally, nicola sturgeon says, my relationship with alex salmond makes this an extremely difficult situation for me to come to terms with. i am acutely are dashes are aware how upsetting this will be. my priority must be to insure fair and due pro

it is a difficult time for nicola sturgeon generally.oney and the taxpayer wouldn't tolerate a second referendum purely on fiscal grounds. and because the economy isn't doing as well a she would have hoped. so it is obviously hard for her and the party. people might look at it as honourable that the allegations... nothing has been proven. people are innocent before being proved guilty. it shows his loyalty to the party that he doesn't want to taint the courts with what he has alleged to have done. maybe the separation of powers is quite significant. nicola sturgeon has commented tonight, this has put her in a difficult position. she released a long statement referring to him as mentor and friend over 30 years and that the independent courts remains untainted because obviously that is separate to the allegations he is facing. and he has done the right thing in separating the allegations from the party itself. on a macro level it is damaging, of course it is, and the headlines won't read well here or north of the border. it comes at a high

i don't think nicola sturgeon will get her way., if it is going to happen, she thinks that the prime minister's plan b should be to stay in the customs union and in the single market and that that should become the uk government approach to brexit. that has already been ruled out. i think in any event nicola sturgeon and the scottish government will be disappointed on brexit. they think that they are in the business of damage limitation and they can make their voices heard but ultimately the negotiations are conducted between the uk government and the eu through the chief negotiator michel barnier. what nicola sturgeon is still weighing up and is expected to come back to this scotland's parliament on in the autumn once the outcome of these brexit talks become a bit clearer is whether or not she should push for the power to hold another referendum on scottish independence. that is a big call for her to make later year. thank you. a seven year old boy has died in a house fire in south east london, which police are now treating as mur

well, the scottish parliament returns from its summer recess next week, next thursday nicola sturgeonamber at holyrood to answer first ministers questions. i think it's fair to say that she and the party she leads had been coming under a lot of pressure from opposition parties here to suspend alex salmond following as allegations of sexual misconduct, allegations of sexual misconduct, allegations which mr salmond denies. he was well aware of this, and he chose the timing of the resignation statement very carefully, to take place ahead of parliament returning. indeed in that statement he said he didn't come into politics to facilitate opposition attacks on the snp and he tendered his resignation to re m ove snp and he tendered his resignation to remove this line of opposition attack. whether he has managed to do thatis attack. whether he has managed to do that is not at all clear. he has almost opened another line of attack for opposition parties in hollywood in the crowdfunding campaign he started to fund a legal challenge against the scottish government, a government to use to lead u

no word on theresa may on brexit as she arrived at these talks with nicola sturgeon near the scottishent in edinburgh but in advance of the meeting the first minister said she wa nted meeting the first minister said she wanted the prime minister to roll out a no—deal brexit which she thinks would be catastrophic economically. i don't think theresa may is in a position to give that sort of guarantee because the eu has already criticised her current brexit proposals. it was agreed by the cabinet at chequers and it is not yet clear if her overtures to leaders like the president of france will lead to a breakthrough. so she has a dilemma, if she compromises further with the eu she risks backlash from brexiteers, and if she stands firm she risks that no deal outcome that both sides in the negotiations say they want to avoid. glenn, thank you. glenn campbell in edinburgh there. a seven—year—old boy has died in a house fire in south east london, which police are now treating as a murder investigation. the body ofjoel urhie was found after the blaze in deptford in the early hours this morning
