Arlene Foster 'open to talks' to avert Stormont meltdown

Stormont's former First Minister Arlene Foster has said she is open to talks with Sinn Féin to avert a meltdown of Northern Ireland's power-sharing institutions.

The Democratic Unionist leader also announced plans for a public inquiry into the botched green energy scheme that prompted the resignation of the Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness on Monday.
