Scottish ministers to bodyswerve Salmond show
Scottish Government ministers will not appear on Alex Salmond's new talk show being aired on Russia Today, a spokesman for the First Minister has confirmed.
The Alex Salmond Show will debut on the Russian-state funded channel on Thursday, but the former First Minister has come under fire amid claims that the broadcaster is a "propoganda" vehicle for Vladimir Putin's regime. Ms Sturgeon said she would have advised her predecessor against choosing Russia Today for the show. Mr Salmond headed the Scottish Government for seven years until 2014, but asked today if any ministers from his former administration would appear on the debut show, Ms Sturgeon's spokesman replied: "No."
