Britain's embattled Prime Minister Theresa May has finally secured a governing majority in the UK Parliament after agreeing a deal with a political party with 10 MPs from Northern Ireland.
The deal with the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) will ensure the government's Queens Speech and budget passes through Parliament.
Arlene Foster, leader of the DUP, was pictured signing the deal with May at Downing Street.
Some critics have warned that the arrangement risks peace in Northern Ireland because it ties the UK government to one side in the peace process.
May's Conservative Party lost its parliamentary majority at the country's general election earlier this month and faced the unappealing prospect of forming a minority government.
The move will be met with huge relief in May's administration. May had faced a turbulent few weeks since suffering the setback of failing to achieve an overall majority in the election.
