Boris Johnson will urge the main parties in Northern Ireland to get back to work after recent elections.

But his government will also publish legislation this week to make unilateral changes to post-Brexit trading arrangements if Brussels won't amend the Protocol.

The EU's warning of a trade war if the UK acts unilaterally.

Belfast reporter Amanda Ferguson says the unionist DUP party won't take part in government for now.
