SNP leader has resigned...Humza Yousaf is to resign as Scotland's first minister, the BBC understands.

He has arrived at Bute House in Edinburgh, the first minister's official residence, for a press conference at 12:00.

The SNP leader has been under pressure since he ended a power-sharing deal with the Scottish Greens last week.

Opposition parties in the Scottish Parliament had tabled two confidence votes - one in the first minister and another in the SNP government.

Mr Yousaf has been struggling to secure support to lead a minority government.
