Robinson makes first address as DUP leader

Peter Robinson is to address the DUP annual conference in Armagh later today for the first time as the party’s leader.

He's expected to tell members that the party will not budge from its refusal to agree a date for devolving policing and justice.

He's also expected to criticize Sinn Féin for its refusal to agree an agenda for a meeting of the power-sharing executive, which hasn't convened since mid-June.

The conference takes place in the run-up to tomorrow's British Army homecoming parade from Iraq and Afghanistan, which Sinn Féin are to protest against.
