Sinn Fein meets for crucial police talks

Sinn Fein's national executive has met for crucial talks on whether to hold a party conference at the end of the month, where a historic debate on support for policing will take place.

The motion being put forward by Gerry Adams is to convene an Ard Fheis in Dublin on January 28.

If passed it could create the conditions for republicans to make a landmark shift in support for the police in Northern Ireland.
