Scottish Leader Seeks Second Independence Referendum

BBC World Service - Newshour, Scottish Leader Seeks Second Independence Referendum

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon will ask for permission to hold a second referendum

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed she will ask for permission to hold a second referendum in order to protect Scottish interests in the wake of the UK voting to leave the EU. Also in the programme, Turkey's diplomatic rows in Europe intensify after President Erdogan accused the Dutch government of behaving like Nazis and in Syria new statistics suggest 2016 was the deadliest year of the conflict for children.
