DUP: Arlene Foster is only candidate for DUP leadership

Northern Ireland's Finance Minister Arlene Foster looks set become the next leader of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) as no rival candidates entered the leadership contest before Wednesday's deadline expired.

The 45-year-old is likely to be appointed by the party next Thursday, to replace Peter Robinson when he steps down on 11 January.
