Sinn Fein have accused first minister Arlene Foster of "unvarnished arrogance" over the RHI scandal, and have warned that the crisis could bring down Stormont. Its chairman Declan Kearney has said: "The political process has now been dragged recklessly by the DUP, culminating with the RHI crisis towards an unprecedented tipping point". And they have not ruled out fresh elections if the situation is not resolved.

Also on the programme: For many today is the first working day of the new year and most people will be easing themselves in gently to 2017. But one business is gearing up for what is likely to be one of its busiest days of the year: Royal Mail. Staff are being told to expect a 50 per cent jump in the volume of parcels being returned on what is being nicknamed "take back Tuesday".

Plus, what do you order from your local takeaway? Burger? Pastie, Fish and chips? Some cold and flu remedy? That was the order given to one local take away over the Christmas period. Feeley's Fish and Chip Shop revealed the unusual request on its Facebook page on Friday. The online order asked the driver to stop and get cold and flu tablets.
