Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon spoke out against the US-led missile strikes on Syria.

NICOLA STURGEON SCOTLAND'S FIRST MINISTER "That is a danger that action that is taken hastily, action that doesn't necessarily contribute to peace, actually risks not just escalating the civil war but escalating the tensions internationally as well.

There are these questions over the efficacy, there are questions over the consensus behind it, and rather than building international consensus around a coordinated approach to resolving a situation, and alleviating the humanitarian suffering which should be a priority in all of that, what we do - albeit I am prepared to accept on the part of the prime minister inadvertently - is we risk escalating an already complicated situation."
