Newscast – Nicola Sturgeon speaks to the BBC.

It’s a controversy that has swirled around the SNP for years – but on Monday former chief executive Peter Murrell admitted embezzling more than £400,000 from the party. In this episode of the newscast, former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon sits down with Laura for her first interview since her husband pleaded guilty. Sturgeon, who was previously arrested and released without charge, discusses what she knows, defends her concerns about her party finances, and how the revelations have affected her.
