BBC World Service – Newshour, Historic day in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland has its first Irish nationalist leader in the restored power-sharing government. After a two-year hiatus, Sinn Féin’s Michelle O’Neill has taken on the top job as first minister. We hear from a journalist who spent the day watching events unfold in the parliament buildings at Stormont.

Also on the programme: Gaza’s youngest reporter; and the woman who donated her kidney and part of her liver to her mother.
