The leader of the Democratic Unionist Party has warned sinn fein that it needs to get serious if the devolution is to be restored in Northern Ireland. The power sharing executive at stormont collapsed injanuary and now the Dups Arlene Foster has told her Party Conference that unless a deal is agreed soon, westminster would have to take over the running of the government. Heres our ireland correspondent chris buckler. The democratic unionists are making the most of the influence they have a downing street. They have at downing street. Without a government at stormont, Arlene Foster is now no longer Northern Irelands first minister, but her 10 mps make a formidable team, because the conservatives need their crucial votes in westminster. It is this party that stands in the heart of government, not in Northern Ireland, but across the united kingdom. But the dup desperately wants to be in power at stormont. And thats not possible because of the ongoing divisions between unionists and irish republicans. This was the Party Conference a year ago. Arlene foster was riding high, but the last 12 months have been difficult. A scandal over a botched Green Energy Scheme and deep differences with sinn fein over culture, identity, and brexit, have left stormont in months of limbo. They complain about brexit, all the while refusing to form an executive or take their seats in parliament. And they go to conference and glory in the murder of the ira. Applause yet, when you listen to sinn fein, they blame everyone else. Now its time sinn fein got serious. Despite the flags, cheers, and shouts, this has felt a more muted Party Conference. And perhaps that reflects a deal with sinn fein is looking unlikely, and that the entire future of devolution in Northern Ireland is uncertain. Chris buckler, bbc news, belfast.

We are joined by michael gugelmin with the Asia ProgrammeDeputy Editor and Senior Associates of south asia at the Woodrow Wilson centre. Thank you indeed forjoining us. We have seen the protests spread from islamabad to lahore to karachi. Where do you see this going . I think that now that the military has stepped in and has tried to disperse the protesters are think it isnt going to be as bad as it could have been. I think the military in pakistan is popular and inspires a lot of or these protesters will be willing to disperse if they know the military is going to be out there as opposed to the government, which as we saw earlier today when we have police out there, it wasnt able to do much ofa out there, it wasnt able to do much of a good job at all of getting the protesters to disperse. I would like to think and hope that in the coming days, you know, these are the protest are days, you know, these are the protest a re bro ken days, you know, these are the protest are broken up elsewhere in the country along with those in islamabad will end up petering out. At the damage is done, as you said, today many major cities in pakistan we re today many major cities in pakistan were hit by protests coming from hardliners with very dangerous views. To the protesters themselves ina minute, views. To the protesters themselves in a minute, but if the government thinks of the army as its trump card, why did it take so long to play it . There are several factors. 0ne play it . There are several factors. One is that these protesters were out there because of very sensitive issues, religious issues, dealing with issues of blasphemy and things like that and pakistan of course is a very conservative and religious country, and i think that the government really would have preferred this issue would have gone away without it having to get involved. The other factor is this isa involved. The other factor is this is a government who is weak and vulnerable, it has been hampered by corruption allegations and didnt wa nt to corruption allegations and didnt want to be in a position out there and crackdown with the use of force against protesters, where there could be bloodshed. As it turns out thatis could be bloodshed. As it turns out that is what happened, the protest turned violent as it was the worst possible scenario to the pakistani government. Who do you think will come out looking any good at this, the government may appear weak introducing the army, the army i suppose is doing itsjob, or will the protesters think they have made their point . They occupied a major interchange, and no one could do anything about it. A lot of people cheering about those demands. The military has the upper hand at the end of the day. They have made the government look bad. The government was essentially looking like it was sitting on its hands for two weeks unable to deal with what was a small group of religious hardliners in islamabad. When it finally did come out and try to crack down today, it did not go well and the police had to retreat. It looks good. The government looks bad. They look even more unpopular in the eyes of the pakistani public. That is to the benefit of the pakistani military. Thank you very much. Bangladesh is warning Rohingya Muslim refugees returning to myanmar that theyll have to live initially in temporary camps. Its because most of their villages have been burnt down. It is likely to cause concern in the un, which is already warning about the dangers of returning rohingyas to confinement and ghettos. Nicola carroll reports. Hundreds of thousands of people have fled their homes in rakhine state. They accuse the Myanmar Military of carrying out mass killings, rape, and setting fire to homes.

The governments of bangladesh and myanmar now have an agreement for their return. Translation the returnees will be taken to their original lands or wherever they want to live. In primary stages, they will stay in temporary camps. The two sides have agreed to complete the repatriation process in a reasonable time. After a verification process, the displaced rohingya will be taken back. 0ur priority is to ensure their safe return to their homeland with honour. We are aiming for that. The arrangement will cause concern at the un, which has warned of the danger of returning rohingya facing confinement and ghettos. Many of the issues that forced the region to flee the first place remain are addressed and some refugees say they do not want to return unless they get citizenship in myanmar. Translation i cant trust the myanmar government. If the International Community supports us, and if there are people to protect us, we will go. If they send us back without this guarantee, we will be persecuted again. Rights groups say the idea that myanmar would allow them to return with open arms is wishful thinking. It is also not clear whether the Myanmar Military will agree to the latest deal. For now, these Rohingya Muslims continue to face an uncertain future. Nicola carroll, bbc news.

They were called the dreadnoughts of the trenches, and changed the face of modern warfare. Now, 100 years after the first tanks were deployed in the battle of combray in the first world war, members of the royal tank regiment have returned to the french town, to commemorate those who died. Robert halljoined the crowds paying their respects. 0n the terraced lawn of the cambrai memorial, todays tank crews look back to a week which cemented the bonds of a new military family. In november 1917, the early tank men clambered into over 400 lumbering machines, for the largest tank attack ever mounted. Inside the metal hulls, crews were overcome by heat and exhaust fumes. Many tanks broke down. 0ne battle scarred veteran has been adopted by the French Village where it fought. Tank d51 deborah to her crew was abandoned and lost. Until a local historian found her back in 1998 and began the task of preserving her. Today, deborah is the centrepiece of a new museum, commemorating her part in the battle and the five crewmen she lost. It is simply a love story. Its a love story which has started when first i met a lady who let me know that she knows a place where a tank was buried. Deborahs crew are buried nearby, lost on a day when tanks advanced further and faster than anyone imagined. But the bravery and the crews and the sheer power of the tanks came to naught. The allies were once again driven back. Cambrai, however, did mark the start of a change in the way wars were fought. The tank had proved its worth. A machine that is still evolving, still a terrifying presence. Its birth came at a high cost. These ceremonies mark the passing of the tank men who still lie under the rolling farmland they crossed.

Hello once again. Saturday was pretty much a cold day right across the British Isles and before that, you have to thank a supply of cold north westerly wind coming between an area of low pressure up towards the north east, High Pressure down towards the south west. And on that run of north westerlies, there were quite a few showers across northern and western parts. If you have some overnight, then ice could be a problem first thing on sunday, especially on untreated surfaces. Here we are first thing on sunday morning. Still that wind across the north east of scotland, showers there. Showers too coming through the North Channel down across the irish sea into the north and West Midlands thomas through the north west of england. We will come back to those in a second. But further east or south, dry, fine, sunny, chilly to start off the new day, and perhaps a little more in the way of cloud already at this stage across parts of the south west and the far west of wales. Cloudy right from the word go across Northern Ireland. This is all coming ahead of a set of weather fronts which make themselves known in Northern Ireland late on in the afternoon. The wind ahead of those fronts just beginning to come a bit more westerly and maybe not as cold as the north westerly wind of saturday. But that the supply of showers i was talking about coming out of the irish sea could be a bother at burnley and at huddersfield. Not such an issue down at southampton gloriously clear here. Kilmarnock, just the first signs of the cloud spilling in from Northern Ireland to temper the sunshine then rob you of it altogether as you get on through the afternoon. Certainly by evening, wet and windy fair piling its way down and across the British Isles. Notice the number of isobars there, 40 mile gusts perhaps inland and on some of the western facing hills, 30 40 millimetres of rain, but at least this is mild air. We have a spell of relatively mild conditions for the new week. But then it turns much colder and there will be a noticeable biting wind coming in from the north. Monday, a day of transition. It will take a while before we see the last of the overnight rain getting away from the south of england and wales. Double figure temperatures here. But slowly but surely, once all of the fronts have moved on through, that allows those isobars to bend back into a much more northerly direction and a long that, that is the highway for the cold air to percolate its way down from nearly the arctic across all parts of the British Isles. I am showing you here the middle part of the week, cold air absolutely dominant. And that extends probably towards next weekend. This is bbc news, the headlines. The government in pakistan has called on the army to send troops to the capital islamabad after battles between police and islamist demonstrators.
