:00:00. > :00:08.Sinn Fein say they won't be nominating their Stormont

:00:09. > :00:11.leader Michelle O'Neill as Deputy First Minister tomorrow.

:00:12. > :00:15.The party says the current phase of inter party discussions

:00:16. > :00:18.has run its course - the decision means no power sharing

:00:19. > :00:20.Executive can be formed in time for tomorrow

:00:21. > :00:30.Here's our political editor Mark Devenport.

:00:31. > :00:36.As talks deadlines approach, you often get contradictory assessments

:00:37. > :00:41.of the chances of a breakthrough. But Sinn Fein could not have sounded

:00:42. > :00:46.more pessimistic, pointing out the DUP negotiators were not even at the

:00:47. > :00:50.talks venue, and indicating that no power-sharing Executive can be

:00:51. > :00:54.formed. The governments and the DUP have failed in their approach to the

:00:55. > :00:59.talks process and negotiations. They have not stepped up to the plate,

:01:00. > :01:04.and the British Government refused to honour their responsibilities as

:01:05. > :01:15.we all know they have. The DUP countered that their leadership had

:01:16. > :01:17.been available for many hours, and their refusal to negotiate on

:01:18. > :01:19.Sundays is a long-standing policy which shouldn't surprise anybody.

:01:20. > :01:22.They said -- this time had been wasted, and Sinn Fein had proved --

:01:23. > :01:29.been unwilling to attend roundtable sessions. Today, Alliance's leader

:01:30. > :01:31.said if their party is offered the Justice department, it would look

:01:32. > :01:38.for reforms rejected by the DUP and Sinn Fein last year. We seem to keep

:01:39. > :01:43.repeating the same mistakes. The reality is that if that is a high

:01:44. > :01:47.bar, the Executive will not work for Northern Ireland. What we asked for

:01:48. > :01:53.was respect for other parties in Government, we ask that we would

:01:54. > :02:00.deliver, but that is a low bar. At noon tomorrow attention goes to the

:02:01. > :02:07.Assembly. But after today's developments, it seems unlikely that

:02:08. > :02:19.any election -- electing of deputies will happen.

:02:20. > :02:22.Tom Elliott of the Ulster Unionist Party said that the talks process

:02:23. > :02:26.was the worst in recent times. He added that a massive change in

:02:27. > :02:27.attitude was needed from the two largest parties.

:02:28. > :02:30.Naval divers have recovered the body of a crew member from the Irish

:02:31. > :02:32.coastguard helicopter which crashed off the coast of Mayo

:02:33. > :02:39.Gardai confirmed that the body is that of captain Mark Duffy,

:02:40. > :02:43.The search for the two other crew members is continuing.

:02:44. > :02:49.A piper accompanied captain Duffy's cortege as it was brought ashore.

:02:50. > :02:52.A postmortem is expected to be carried out today.

:02:53. > :02:54.Captain Dara Fitzpatrick died after she was rescued from the sea

:02:55. > :03:00.A 31-year-old man has been arrested in connection

:03:01. > :03:02.with the attempted murder of police officers in Strabane.

:03:03. > :03:04.He was detained in the town yesterday.

:03:05. > :03:07.A roadside bomb, with a command wire attached, exploded on Tuesday

:03:08. > :03:08.evening while police officers were on patrol.

:03:09. > :03:10.Detectives have also been given additional time

:03:11. > :03:12.to question a 20-year-old man, who was arrested on Friday

:03:13. > :03:25.A security alert in Limavady has been declared a hoax by the PSNI.

:03:26. > :03:27.A suspect device was found in Benbradagh Avenue, around five

:03:28. > :03:35.Northern Ireland play Norway in a World Cup qualifier tonight,

:03:36. > :03:37.at the national Stadium at Windsor Park in Belfast.

:03:38. > :03:39.The manager and captain know that everyone fans

:03:40. > :03:56.There's a of expectation, but if we turn up we're going to win games. --

:03:57. > :04:02.level of expectation. But we've got to be quite level-headed and make

:04:03. > :04:06.sure we continue to show the same desire and quality we've shown to

:04:07. > :04:09.get us here, but also strengthen our position in the group and put us in

:04:10. > :04:14.a good position at the halfway point. But we understand it's going

:04:15. > :04:19.to be a difficult game but it's one we're looking forward to. Norway

:04:20. > :04:25.have a of British-based players in their squad, it will be a game I

:04:26. > :04:35.think possibly more akin to a game in the English Premier League

:04:36. > :04:38.Championship, and when we are at our best, a good atmosphere in the

:04:39. > :04:41.stadium, it will make it difficult for the opposition to settle into

:04:42. > :04:43.the game. These are all the things we will be seeking to create

:04:44. > :04:44.tonight. And tonight's match is live

:04:45. > :04:47.on BBC Radio Ulster, Gaelic Games - in today's

:04:48. > :04:50.penultimate round of the national Football League, defeats for Down,

:04:51. > :04:52.Derry and Fermanagh leave all three Ulster sides fighting to avoid

:04:53. > :04:55.relegation from Division two. Meanwhile Donegal and Monaghan drew

:04:56. > :04:57.to remain in contention in Division one, but Tyrone lost

:04:58. > :05:13.at home to Mayo. Today's encounter was both intense

:05:14. > :05:18.and tired. Mail's Tom Parsons scored the decisive goal to give the

:05:19. > :05:22.visitors a 1-0 lead at the break. It was nip and tuck all the way to the

:05:23. > :05:29.final whistle, as time and again Tyrone drew level. Only for the

:05:30. > :05:35.recent nemesis to pop over the winner. It came in stoppage time.

:05:36. > :05:43.Mayo are now post -- poised to win in Division 1, Mark Sidebottom, BBC
