Is a DUP deal with the Conservatives in trouble?

The state opening of Parliament takes place this morning - but the minority Conservative government still hasn't managed to strike a deal with the DUP.

The state opening of Parliament takes place this morning - but the minority Conservative government still hasn't managed to strike a deal with the DUP. Talks are continuing at Downing Street to secure an agreement that will see the DUP supporting the Conservatives in crucial votes in Parliament. DUP sources have expressed concern that the party is being "taken for granted" in the discussions. And Damien Green, Theresa May's deputy, told 麻豆社 Radio Five Live this morning that it's possible the Conservatives will not be able to reach a deal with the party. Stephen got the views of former DUP MLA and commentator Nelson McCausland, 麻豆社 Northern Ireland's political editor Mark Devenport, commentator Malachi O'Doherty, Green Party Leader Steven Agnew, Alliance Party's Stewart Dickson and SDLP's Claire Hanna.

Also on the programme, over 拢250K spent on food subsidies for Stormont last year - we get reaction from TUV leader Jim Allister.

And, a grandmother in her seventiess forced to leave her home after bonfire material set alight - Stephen talks to Jean and her son Chris.
