The DUP has claimed the Government has agreed to improve the treatment of military veterans in Northern Ireland. It comes as talks continue between the DUP and the Tories to give Theresa May a Westminster majority. Unionists have long called for the Military Covenant to be extended to NI. But the move has been opposed by SF. Last night on BBC's The View - former Conservative minister Iain Duncan Smith was asked how he could sell the Military Covenant to nationalists. UUP's Doug Beattie and former SF MLA Daithi McKay joined Stephen to discuss.
