Brokenshire: NI Could Face Second Assembly Election
Secretary of State James Brokenshire has said Northern Ireland could face another election if political parties fail to reach an agreement within three weeks.
Mr Brokenshire warned there would be "significant consequences" if there is no agreement to form a power-sharing Executive.
