:00:24. > :00:29.With all the votes counted, they've won 27 seats, just one
:00:30. > :00:32.behind the Democratic Unionist Party.
:00:33. > :00:35.Sinn Fein's President, Gerry Adams, has described the result as "an end
:00:36. > :00:40.The two parties now have three weeks to try to agree
:00:41. > :00:49.The battle between unionism and nationalism has been
:00:50. > :00:53.at the centre of politics in Northern Ireland for decades.
:00:54. > :00:57.And the harsh words of old returned during this election campaign.
:00:58. > :01:01.The DUP leader even compared Irish republicans to crocodiles.
:01:02. > :01:04.If you feed a crocodile, they're going to keep coming back
:01:05. > :01:13.The increase in support for Sinn Fein has left them just
:01:14. > :01:16.a single seat behind the Democratic Unionist Party.
:01:17. > :01:18.Until the start of this year, they worked in coalition
:01:19. > :01:23.But now the animosity has returned, and that leaves major
:01:24. > :01:27.questions about the future of power-sharing at Stormont.
:01:28. > :01:29.It's time for political leadership, it's time to get back
:01:30. > :01:31.to the principles of the Good Friday Agreement.
:01:32. > :01:34.It's time to fix what's wrong, and I think that is all doable
:01:35. > :01:36.if people come at it with the right attitude.
:01:37. > :01:42.But after such a bitter break-up, getting unionists back together
:01:43. > :01:44.with republicans won't be easy, and that's particularly true
:01:45. > :01:47.because of one demand Sinn Fein is making of the DUP.
:01:48. > :01:50.They want Arlene Foster to step aside as First Minister,
:01:51. > :01:53.while a public enquiry takes place into a financial scandal linked
:01:54. > :01:58.Last night the DUP leader left her count centre, having
:01:59. > :02:06.A lot of what they are asking for is undeliverable,
:02:07. > :02:08.because whilst they dress it up with nice platitudes
:02:09. > :02:11.and nice language, actually it's incredibly one-sided.
:02:12. > :02:15.It doesn't fit with the notion of partnership.
:02:16. > :02:17.For so long the big beast of politics here,
:02:18. > :02:22.unionism is facing a fresh roar from nationalism.
:02:23. > :02:29.Just months ago, they seemed to be working together.
:02:30. > :02:32.But in unionist East Belfast, where the CS Lewis Square has been
:02:33. > :02:34.built in honour of the author's mythical tales of battle,
:02:35. > :02:36.there is a certain concern about what is emerging.
:02:37. > :02:41.Our whole government system is not working for the people who need it,
:02:42. > :02:44.because they are up there squabbling over very little, to be honest.
:02:45. > :02:52.We should get off our backsides and get out and vote, now.
:02:53. > :02:56.Many see the current divisions as a return
:02:57. > :02:58.to the politics of the past, and once again, a time
:02:59. > :03:10.These were already politically turbulent times. Brexit poses
:03:11. > :03:14.particular problems for Northern Ireland, which is the only part of
:03:15. > :03:20.the UK with a land border with the EU. There's a lot of trade crossing
:03:21. > :03:22.that border. This result has already had consequences. The Ulster
:03:23. > :03:27.Unionist Party De has stepped down because of the poor result of his
:03:28. > :03:30.party within these elections and beyond that the DUP reduction in
:03:31. > :03:34.seats meant they have lost what is known as a petition of concern, a
:03:35. > :03:41.veto to block any legislation they don't like. For example they used
:03:42. > :03:43.that to stop the introduction of same-sex marriage. Looking towards
:03:44. > :03:47.the future, the DUP and Sinn Fein have to try and pick up the pieces
:03:48. > :03:52.to try and form a power-sharing government. That isn't going to be
:03:53. > :03:55.easy and it does raise the prospect Westminster might have to take over
:03:56. > :03:57.for a time and run government in Northern Ireland while they can try
:03:58. > :04:00.to come to an agreement. The French car-maker which owns
:04:01. > :04:03.Peugeot and Citroen has reportedly reached an agreement to buy
:04:04. > :04:05.the Vauxhall and Opel brands The deal could raise
:04:06. > :04:08.concerns about the future of Vauxhall's two UK factories,
:04:09. > :04:11.which employ more than 4,000 people. An official announcement
:04:12. > :04:14.is expected on Monday. Our business correspondent

:04:27. > :04:29.new bosses from Monday when it's likely that the company which makes
:04:30. > :04:33.Peugeot cars, PSA, confirms that it But with too many factories
:04:34. > :04:45.in Europe and not enough demand, PSA is likely to have a long,
:04:46. > :04:48.hard look at which That puts Vauxhall
:04:49. > :04:50.under the microscope. Vauxhall employs just under 2000
:04:51. > :04:53.staff in its Ellesmere Port plants, Its van making factory in Luton
:04:54. > :04:58.employs 1400 people with around 18,000 jobs dependent on Vauxhall
:04:59. > :05:01.around the UK. In all, Vauxhall makes just under
:05:02. > :05:05.200,000 cars a year. And Vauxhall isn't the only British
:05:06. > :05:09.car-maker which is facing upheaval. Nissan said this week is now needs

:06:14. > :06:22.correspondent Ellie Price. How significant is this? I think
:06:23. > :06:27.it's a measure this hasn't happened in five years, and there could be
:06:28. > :06:31.some awkward moments. In recent months Boris Johnson has accused
:06:32. > :06:35.Russia of war crimes in Syria, suggested there is no case to relax
:06:36. > :06:39.sanctions over the Ukraine and also suggested Russia has been engaged in

:06:44. > :06:47.suggested Boris Johnson bonds to reopen the Cold War. Much to talk
:06:48. > :06:51.about. We are told during this visit Boris Johnson will continue to be
:06:52. > :06:57.robust and that this isn't about cosying up to Moscow. But actually
:06:58. > :07:02.an improvement in relations could be in the national interest of Britain.

:09:19. > :09:21.If his career had gone to plan, James Taylor would be a key member
:09:22. > :09:24.of England's one day side in the West Indies right now.
:09:25. > :09:26.But, just as he neared the peak of his career,

:09:52. > :09:56.exactly why the professional Cricketers Association invited James
:09:57. > :10:00.Taylor to their rookie camp. I'm a glaring example of that, anything
:10:01. > :10:05.can happen, no matter how young and no matter how healthy you think you
:10:06. > :10:09.are, anything can happen. Sometimes I'm confident with my body and then
:10:10. > :10:15.I have a real setback because my heart is doing things I'd never felt
:10:16. > :10:20.it do before. It's a roller-coaster in trusting my body and it's a scary
:10:21. > :10:24.place to be. James Taylor's internal defibrillator helps keep him alive.
:10:25. > :10:29.His heart condition rare, his attitude exemplary. Being a former

:10:36. > :10:39.international Dan Vickerman, after 63 Test matches, he seemed to be
:10:40. > :10:44.dealing well with retirement. He wasn't. Every case is different, but
:10:45. > :10:48.sport often demands a shared mentality. I always thought I was
:10:49. > :10:53.invincible, every professional sportsman, everybody thinks they are
:10:54. > :10:56.invincible. It dawned on me for months after this happened and that
:10:57. > :11:02.hit me the hardest, knowing that I'm not invincible. The PCA encourages
:11:03. > :11:08.Cricketers to develop new careers, to practice presentations to become
:11:09. > :11:12.teachers or baristas. Anything, only a few English cricketers ever reach
:11:13. > :11:17.the international scene. Standing here right now it's hard to imagine
:11:18. > :11:22.a sultry summer evening. But feels like snow. But Edgbaston will be
:11:23. > :11:26.holding the first-ever Day night Test match an England soil, when
