World The British and Irish prime ministers flew in to chair crisis talks earlier this week to try to stave off the snap election that would almost certainly follow a definitive break-down in negotiations. The premiers left Wednesday after giving the predominantly Catholic Sinn Fein and the pro-British, mainly Protestant Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) until Friday to come up with their plans or Britain and Ireland would publish theirs. "I think there has been progress over the last number of days, but there are still matters which need to be resolved, which we need to be certain about," DUP leader Peter Robinson told reporters. "If it's not a successful outcome today, then we will keep working on it tomorrow. We are not interested in deadlines, not interested in threats from anyone. If the deal is not right, it won't be done. If the deal is right, it will be done." Sinn Fein's Conor Murphy, a member of the Northern Ireland Assembly and the Westminster parliament, reserved the right to abandon the talks. "If there is a possibility of a deal, we will pursue that, but at some stage, we will have to call whether the DUP are capable or willing to do the business," he said. MAJOR STEP AT STAKE A deal on devolving police and justice powers from London to Belfast would give Northern Ireland its first justice minister and be one of the boldest steps since the 1998 Good Friday Agreement that ended nearly three decades of sectarian violence, which cost 3,600 lives. In addition to the involvement of Britain and Ireland, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton phoned the various parties. The mood at Hillsborough Castle, outside Belfast, where the talks are taking place has swung from optimism to pessimism and back again throughout the week. Early Friday, U.S. economic envoy to Northern Ireland Declan Kelly said the U.S. administration believed the sides were "tantalisingly close" to a deal. Sinn Fein, which ultimately wants Northern Ireland to be part of the Republic of Ireland, has long pressed for an early date on the transfer of the powers most associated with British control during the years of the Northern Irish troubles. Brown said Wednesday he believed it was feasible for the Northern Ireland Assembly to consider plans on devolving policing and justice powers from London to Belfast in March and to implement them "around the beginning of May." Sinn Fein has accused the DUP, which wants Northern Ireland to remain part of the United Kingdom, of stalling, a charge the DUP has denied. Apart from the timeframe, the major sticking point is the parades commission, which oversees the province's Orange Order Protestant marches. The DUP wants this form of oversight over the tradition abolished. Sinn Fein, which sees the parades as provocative, wants the commission to remain.
