SDLP leader Mark Durkan said he still thinks a deal can be done on policing and justice in the North.

Politicians are coming together at Hillsborough Castle this afternoon for all-party talks.

The Irish and British governments have given them until tomorrow to come to an agreement or they will publish their own proposals.

The leaders of the four main churches are urging politicans to redouble their efforts in a bid to save the future of Stormont.

"There is a bit more perspective being shown today," Mr Durkan said.

"I think people have a bigger sense of the importance of individual issues, but also the important of the overall picture… of making sure that we have devolution, that it is stable, and that it goes forward."
