BBC drops Andrew Neil interview with SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon
The scheduled one-to-one is the latest political interview to be postponed in light of the terrorist attack in Manchester on Monday night
Nicola Sturgeon's interview with Andrew Neil will not go ahead following the terrorist attack in Manchester that took place earlier this week.

It is not yet clear whether Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's grilling will take place tomorrow evening or when the postponed interviews will be rescheduled.
Tonight's slot will instead by filled by a broadcast of The One Show hosted by Michelle Ackerley and Amol Rajan.
