The SNP leader has hinted at the possibility of another referendum on Scottish independence - after the 2016 Scottish Parliament elections.

She was pressed on the idea in the first televised debate between the four main Scottish party leaders last night.

She responded "I will fight one election at a time... I will decide the content of the next manifesto when we get there."

Her comments were met by groans from a section of the audience.

Our Scotland Correspondent, Colin Blane, assessed the chances of a second vote.
