Alasdair McDonnell likely to face leadership challenge

The Social Democratic and Labour Party's Alasdair McDonnell looks likely to face a challenge to his leadership.

The BBC understands at least five branches of the party have nominated Colum Eastwood to stand against him at the party conference in November.

On Thursday, SDLP Mr McDonnell accused the DUP of not wanting to work with Catholics and said Sinn Féin "can't tell the truth" about the IRA.

His comments were recorded by the North Belfast News as he opened a new office.
