The Secretary of State says she wants the European Arrest Warrant to keep operating in Northern Ireland after Brexit.

It's after the PSNI Chief Constable raised concerns after reports we could be kicked out of the system - which he's described as "critical" to security here.

George Hamilton gave an interview to the Belfast Telegraph this morning.

Karen Bradley has told MP's she's been speaking with the police chief saying: "I've discussed this matter this morning with the Chief Constable. We need to make sure that there are arrangements in place so that the way the arrest warrant has operated in Northern Ireland very successfully can continue".
