Description

Reuters reporter Tom Coulter reports from Belfast on latest moves in the Northern Ireland peace process. Democratic Unionist Party leader, the Reverend Ian Paisley puts forward his forceful views condemning UK Government-planned talks with Sinn Fein and claims they want Northern Ireland to be part of a Union of Ireland not the UK. Also reports on Sinn Fein calling for a 48-hour postponement of the talks, possibly so president Gerry Adams will be back from Washington DC to join in.
