British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak arrives at Northern Ireland's Assembly in Belfast on the second day of his two-day visit to the UK territory, which comes after Sinn Fein's Michelle O'Neill made history by becoming its first nationalist leader. O'Neill, a pro-Irish unity politician, has predicted that Northern Ireland will hold a vote on unification with Ireland within the next decade.
