Crunch time in the Stormont talks - have we finally arrived at a make or break situation? @AlexKane221b and @AllisonMorris1

Another deadline slipping away in the power-sharing talks at Stormont. Last Tuesday Arlene Foster said a deal must be reached within ten days at the most or there will be a return to direct rule. So today is the deadline Arlene spoke of. But could the real 'make or break' day come as soon as the start of next week? Yesterday it was revealed in the Commons that emergency legislation dealing with the political situation here could be debated at Westminster as early as Monday evening. The BBC understands legislation has been prepared for a number of eventualities, including a deal on restoring devolution or the need to approve Stormont's budget via a Westminster act. Vinny got the views of commentators Alex Kane and Allison Morris.
