salmonds breakaway, party, alex salmonds breakaway, it's 6464. however, i think i wouldn't be surprised if some of the snp msps themselves want to get rid of yousaf as well. so i suspect as a gambling man he's out next week one way or another. now that doesn't mean like we have in the uk parliament. it's not like a vote of confidence in the uk parliament in westminster that does not trigger an election here in the westminster parliament. if you vote against the government and they lose your confidence, that's it. general election immediately happens. no, no, no, there'll be 28 days to try and form a new government and only if that fails will there be new holyrood elections. so i suspect , fails will there be new holyrood elections. so i suspect, and my guess would be yousaf will probably go . the best he can probably go. the best he can hope for is a draw, with the presiding officer then voting for him. more likely he goes and then the snp need to work out how on earth they can put together a governing coalition again. >> just quickly before i br

she left the snp and joined the alba party, which is alex salmond... the former first minister who was also an snp first minister, the party he leads now. she set out a number of conditions that she would support mr yousaf on. if he loses the personal vote, he is not legally bound to resign but you could imagine there is political pressure on him. we have heard from one snp msp this morning that he believes that humza yousaf would have to stand down if he loses that vote. we are watching him at the moment trying to reclaim the narrative, sort of putting his party on an election footing and looking at some of the issues that he would like to take to the doorstep so that is where we are right at the moment. he is running a campaign now to fight for his life. let's get some of the day's other news now. a british man has been seriously injured in a shark attack on the caribbean island of tobago. the attack happened close to the shore in courland bay. the 64—year—old man is in intensive care after his left hand and left thigh were severed by a bull shar

one is that ash regan is now a member of the alba party, which is led by alex salmond, which mr yousaf has been extremely critical of in recent months and years . and now recent months and years. and now mr regan finds herself in a position where she actually needs to cast what is effectively one of the final votes on it. now. she was laughed out of the leadership election that mr yousaf subsequently won. she's not been taken seriously since, and now she finds herself very much as a kingmaker for his entire future in politics, irony does occasionally come about, but this is a particularly hurtful bout of karma for anyone in the snp who is laughing at alex salmond and laughing at ash regan and not taking their chances of a comeback seriously , chances of a comeback seriously, because they are very much now here and they have something to say . say. >> and if humza yousaf does resign, if he's forced out with these no confidence votes , who's these no confidence votes, who's there to replace him? oh, we are joined now by katherine forster. oh no we're not. i'm asking essentially what happ

salmond and its sole representative ash regan. the snp decided they didn't want to do that, to deal with alba or mr salmond with whom they had fallen out spectacularly. that led them going back to the agreement saying, could you support me from outside the government? they said no and that left him with no option but to go. mr yousaf, are you resigning today? a simple answer — yes. not at home in dundee, though, but here at the official residence of the first minister in edinburgh, the place which gave its name to the power—sharing deal with the greens which humza yousaf dumped so disastrously last week. unfortunately, in ending the bute house agreement in the manner that i did, i clearly underestimated the level of hurt and upset that caused green colleagues. i have concluded that repairing our relationship across the political domain can only be done by someone else at the helm. i have therefore informed the snp's national secretary of my intention to stand down as party leader and ask that she commences a leadership contest
