Journalist killed as she covered Northern Island riots

The death of journalist Lyra McKee has spurred the UK and Irish governments to renew talks to resolve Northern Ireland's devolved government. Ms McKee, 29, was shot dead by the so-called new IRA as she covered riots in Derry/Londonderry, Northern Island, on 18 April. In a joint statement, the two leaders say the reporter's funeral sent a strong message that people across the country want to see 'a new momentum for political progress'.
