1. Adams urges IRA to embrace peace
BBC


Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams has appealed to the IRA to help rebuild the Northern Ireland political process.

In a direct call to the terror group, he asked it to "fully embrace and accept" democratic means.

Republicans are under pressure to end IRA activity after the £26.5m Northern Bank raid and the murder of Belfast man Robert McCartney in January.

Downing Street said it was "a significant statement" and hoped it was the way forward for republicanism.
