Details on that and a full forecast coming up. Good morning. First, our main story The Snp Will Today accuse the government of being too scared to allow a second independence referendum. Deputy leader Angus Robertson will open his partys Spring Conference by saying the conservatives have a desperate desire to prevent anyone rejecting brexit. But theresa may will tell her own 777mm; riflff if that she will fight to keep what she calls the precious union. Our scotland correspondent lorna gordon reports. Two leaders, both talking tough in the battle over scotlands future. Theresa may and rejecting a referendum on independence before the uk leads the eu, saying now is not the time. Nicola sturgeon determined it should go ahead, and ata time determined it should go ahead, and at a time of her choosing. Determined it should go ahead, and at a time of her choosinglj determined it should go ahead, and at a time of her choosing. I think it would be unacceptable it would be completely unacceptable and outrageous, and almost antidemocratic, for a conservative government with one mp in scotland to seek to block the democratic will of the scottish parliament, and stand on the way of the scottish people having the right to choose their own future. Miss sturgeon will use her Party Conference in aberdeen use her garty conference in aberdeen keep the spotlight on her to keep the spotlight on her argument that downing streets position is unsustainable. 2000 Party Members who will pack this later will likely agree. Hole later will likely agree. Elsewhere in the granite city the views were mixed. Maybe sometime in the future we can vote on it. As far as it was announced, what they were proposing, i dont think. For me, thatis proposing, i dont think. For me, that is not something i would like to vote on. Although theresa may says to wait until a deal, the deal is about being taken out of europe, so is about being taken out of europe, soi is about being taken out of europe, so i dont think theresa may has any right to stop it has been two right to stop her. It has been two make you since people of Scotland First loaded on whether to leave the united kingdom, for now they will be none of this. Both sides are instead focused on trying to persuade people in scotland that they are right about the timing on any possible second independence referendum. 0ur Political Correspondent mark lobel is in westminster for us. Mark, both sides showing no sign of backing down on this.

She thinks it would 2019 ante. She thinks it would not be good to be the energies she needs to get a good brexit deal against those needed to hold a referendum, in fact last night she launched her plan for britain including some technical errors which was a gift for opponents, at e point saying it which was a gift for opponents, at g point saying it wasnt which was a gift for opponents, at e point saying it wasnt working, one point saying it wasnt working, and her objectives for brexit being to strengthen the union.
