Jeffrey Donaldson, leader of Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party, has stepped down after confirming he has been charged with "allegations of an historical nature." The DUP has suspended him from membership pending the outcome of the judicial process. Donaldson's resignation comes amid a tumultuous period for the party and the region, with elections to the British parliament expected later this year.
