Stormont talks continue through the night

Talks between Northern Ireland's Executive and the UK government have been continuing through the night.

Politicians are at Stormont trying to reach an agreement on the future of the Northern Irish administration's power share.

They are also discussing how much money the country should get from Westminster.

Yesterday was set as the official deadline for the 11-week process to end, but negotiations are now expected to last until later this morning.

Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams said he believes a deal can be done.

Mr Adams said: "We came here for a comprehensive agreement, we've been true to that.

"Sinn Féin will endeavour to encourage all of the parties, but in particular the two governments, to play their role, we want to play our role.

"It is impossible to know how long this is going to go on."
