Transcript
00:00 UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar will visit Stormont

00:15 Sunak arrived in Belfast on Sunday, a day after the devolved government was restored
00:20 following a two-year impasse. He said the new power sharing executive was a fantastic
00:26 cause for optimism. This morning he was greeted at Stormont Castle by Northern Ireland's First
00:31 Minister Michelle O'Neill and Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengeley.
00:43 Members of the Northern Ireland Assembly appointed a power sharing government on Saturday. The
