The Northern Ireland Deputy First Minister, Martin McGuinness, has announced he is pulling out of a trade mission to China.

He had been due to travel on Monday along with First Minister Arlene Foster.

He said that "unforeseen personal circumstances" prevent him from going.

Mrs Foster is expected to meet senior Chinese political and industry figures during the trip.
