Nicola Sturgeon unveils case for Scottish independence
Scotland's first minister Nicola Sturgeon launches a fresh independence campaign and says she "stands ready" to negotiate with PM Boris Johnson to hold a second referendum.
When the country held the first vote in 2014 its go-ahead was possible because the UK government granted the necessary power, called a Section 30 order.
However, in the near eight years that have passed two Conservative prime ministers - Theresa May and Mr Johnson - have refused to give that order a second time.
Ms Sturgeon now says she is confident that Scotland can navigate towards a legal independence vote and the detail of how that could be done would be presented to the Scottish Parliament "very soon".
