GB News Northern Ireland's reporter Dougie Beattie has been left outraged after being accused of "fake news" by the First Minister of Northern Ireland.

Speaking to the People's Channel after the heated accusation, Dougie told GB News that today is "absolutely the day" to be having a discussion about "open borders" in the country.

Pressing Michelle O'Neill on Sinn Féin's "open border policy", Dougie quizzed her on why her party "insists on a porous border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland".

Ms O'Neill hit back at Dougie, telling him: "Quite the monologue there Dougie, and fake news."
