:00:08. > :00:10.The British and Irish governments are to become involved

:00:11. > :00:14.It's the latest attempt to try to get agreement between the parties

:00:15. > :00:19.at Stormont on issues including flags, parades and the past.

:00:20. > :00:22.The initiative was announced by the Secretary of State, Theresa

:00:23. > :00:24.Villiers, at the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham, from where

:00:25. > :00:33.our political reporter, Stephen Walker, has sent this report.

:00:34. > :00:41.This conference has not got off to the best of starts with the

:00:42. > :00:44.resignation and made defection capturing the headlines. The Tories

:00:45. > :00:48.want to unveil a series of new measures and one of the first

:00:49. > :00:53.Cabinet ministers to speak was the Secretary of State who has plans to

:00:54. > :01:03.Blake the -- break the political lock at Stormont. It's important to

:01:04. > :01:10.get down to business. All the parties need to work together. The

:01:11. > :01:16.Secretary of State also said that the talks process should be time

:01:17. > :01:19.limited. It all makes sense to set ourselves the deadline. The closer

:01:20. > :01:27.we get to the general election, the more difficult it is to find common

:01:28. > :01:33.ground. Her intervention comes after she faced criticism from the Labour

:01:34. > :01:36.Party and SDLP, who claimed the government has been detached from

:01:37. > :01:40.the political process in recent months. The precise nature of these

:01:41. > :01:44.talks will become clear after the Secretary of State has held

:01:45. > :01:45.discussions with the five main parties and the Irish

:01:46. > :01:57.A short time ago, the First Minister, Peter Robinson, gave his

:01:58. > :02:14.It would be very silly if we weren't there. I encouraged the other

:02:15. > :02:21.parties to join in those talks. It's important every party has issues

:02:22. > :02:26.they have to raise. Hopefully, when there is a measure of agreement, we

:02:27. > :02:27.will have more intensive discussions.

:02:28. > :02:30.The Prince of Wales has attended a National Police Memorial Day

:02:31. > :02:33.Senior officers from across the UK were also

:02:34. > :02:50.Sterling pedals to remember fallen police officers. More than 2000

:02:51. > :02:58.people gathered at the plural in Belfast to reflect and remember. In

:02:59. > :03:03.a written message, Prince Charles paid tribute to police officers

:03:04. > :03:07.across the UK killed while on duty. The Prince highlighted what he

:03:08. > :03:12.called the enormous sacrifices made by the RUC and PSN eye. He said

:03:13. > :03:21.their bravery would never be forgotten. Among the Stormont

:03:22. > :03:25.politicians at the event was the justice minister. He said the police

:03:26. > :03:33.don't always get the credit which they deserve. Police officers are

:03:34. > :03:38.seen as a normal part of society but on a day like today, you remember

:03:39. > :03:40.the challenges that face police officers and difficulties and

:03:41. > :03:46.dangers they put themselves into everyday and that applies to every

:03:47. > :03:50.part of the UK but particularly acute in Northern Ireland. After the

:03:51. > :03:53.service, some of the families of police officers who died were given

:03:54. > :04:01.the opportunity to meet the Prince of Wales. He listened to their

:04:02. > :04:07.stories and offered his sympathy. That means an awful lot and the fact

:04:08. > :04:18.he said he was honoured to meet me... I felt it was me that was

:04:19. > :04:21.honoured to meet him. The prince said society owes police officers

:04:22. > :04:32.and their families an immense debt of gratitude. Families were moved

:04:33. > :04:35.from their homes last night after a bomb was found. It was discovered

:04:36. > :04:38.under a railway bridge following a phone call to police shortly before

:04:39. > :04:43.nine p.m.. Northern Ireland golfers

:05:47. > :05:52.scintillating form as well. He showed exactly why he is the

:05:59. > :06:03.beat American Rickie Fowler. Rory McIlroy becomes the first golfer
