A former special adviser to DUP leader Arlene Foster has said he thought minutes had been taken of a key Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) meeting in Northern Ireland.

The overspending RHI led to the collapse of powersharing at Stormont 13 months ago after former deputy first minister Martin McGuinness resigned over the DUP's handling of the affair.

A former public servant in the North, Dr Maurice Hayes, has been remembered as a diamond standard citizen and servant of the people.

Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire has said he does not intend to appoint ministers to take political control at Stormont as he moved budget measures with the "utmost reluctance".

Crouch, pause, touch, engage... and, hopefully, do enough hand-shaking, grinning for the cameras, and small-talk to drive us over the line.
