Talks To Restore Power-Sharing Executive Continue

Talks between Northern Ireland's five main parties to restore a power-sharing Executive are continuing at Stormont.

Politicians have been holding talks since last month.

Northern Ireland has been without an Assembly for over a year, following an argument between the DUP and Sinn Féin over the botched Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme.

Secretary of State Karen Bradley is to update the House of Commons on the progress that has been made later this week.
