Donaldson rejects proposals
The anti-Agreement Ulster Unionist MP Jeffrey Donaldson says there is not "a snowball's chance in hell" of any of the Unionists putting themselves forward for election as First Minister on the basis of the new proposals handed to the parties today.
At a press conference in Hillsborough, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Brian Cowen, said the decommissioning issue must be resolved through the De Chastelain Commission.
