DUP executive members are being briefed by Sir Jeffrey Donaldson on a possible deal to restore power-sharing government in Northern Ireland.

The DUP's 12 party officers have already decided on the deal, according to BBC understanding, and executive members will be informed.

Loyalist blogger Jamie Bryson claimed he was live tweeting "mayhem" from inside the DUP meeting over media leaks.
