but both key players in northern ireland. well it is and i mean there is the there is an absentee in this discussion and that's the british government and it was the british government who promised they would never be any kind of order in the r.t.c. and bars johnson the prime minister explicitly promised that that would never happen now and weeks after he became prime minister that is exactly what he did the other aspect of this is the british government is not properly operating the protocol they are going slow they are not cooperating with the european union they have been months behind in producing the sort of evidence that they should produce to take the committees to responsible for a minute giving the protocols and packed haven't even met and some kids as ormandy during the 8 they come to no decision because the british government actually wasn't ready to leave on the 1st of january they hadn't got the position and the customs positions in place at the ports here and there was an initial period of 2 or 3 weeks rather sh

ireland secretaryjulian northern ireland secretary julian smith northern ireland secretaryjulian smith and the irish foreign minister, a deal was struck to get the power—sharing stormont executive back again. since then devolved ministers led by arlene foster and michelle 0'neill, they have been facing probably the biggest challenge they could have faced, the covid—19 pandemic, and arlene foster said there is still plenty of work to be done over the coming weeks in guiding northern ireland through that pandemic but certainly i don't think anyone thinks it is going to be anywhere near finished think anyone thinks it is going to be anywhere nearfinished by think anyone thinks it is going to be anywhere near finished by the end ofjune and then she will be handing over the reins to somebody else in her party. over the reins to somebody else in her -a . , ., ., her party. chris, for the moment, thanks for— her party. chris, for the moment, thanks forjoining _ her party. chris, for the moment, thanks forjoining us. _ her party. chris, for the moment, thanks forjoining us. chris - her p

ireland otherwise when we're looking ahead to a grim summer potentially of violence in northern ireland as you say boris johnson has been calling for dialogue and not violence and you suggest that perhaps he should fire over there and have some i guess deep negotiations did you do you think negotiations would help to fix or or has the damage already been done do you think well little room for negotiations the e.u. protocol does allow for us especially this joint committee to try and work through some of the actions of the protocol but you need a summit level dialogue between boris johnson and you leaders you body johnson also needs repair relations with the doubling government which clean floors of late and he needs to encourage greater cooperation between the parties in northern ireland who were never going to agree on bragg's nationalists didn't want briggs it and a majority but by no. all eunice did want breaks it so you know boris johnson ultimately has to bear responsibility he's the person who signed the deal with the e.u. which was about the northern protocol the assumption was t

elsewhere in scotland, northern ireland, northern england, the odd wintry shower. plenty of sunny spells. lots of cloud from wales, the midlands across two east anglia, the midlands across to east anglia, where it's a damp start. some showery rain spreading south into southern england. the breeze continuing to ease as we go through the day, but while some in southern england and south wales hold onto temperatures into double figures, elsewhere, it will be a colder day and a cold weekend to come. hello, this is bbc news with kasia madera. the headlines... police say last night's rioting in belfast was the worst they've seen in years. the northern ireland secretary holds urgent talks. we do believe that there was a level of preplanning. you don't come by such volumes of petrol bombs and missiles and fireworks without preplanning. the way to deal with these things is through a diplomatic, democratic political process. there is no legitimisation or excuse for taking to violence to deal with any of these issues. england's health secretary says the risk of getting a bloo

in northern ireland and northern england. from the wales, midlands and east anglia, southwards the cloud some patches showery rain spreading a little bit further south and temperatures for some, the further south you are, still into double figures. we are into the arctic air over the weekend but into thatjust this weather system across southernmost parts on saturday and clearing on sunday, delivering some outbreaks of rain, still a lot of uncertainty about how far north across southern england and into east anglia that is going to get, there may be the potentialfor a bit of sleet and snow on the back edge before it clears away going into sunday. but for much of the uk on saturday and indeed and sunday too, it will be sunny spells, there will be a scattering of wintry showers around — what does that mean? it could be some sleet, hail, perhaps some snow out of the showers at times but with those sunny spells in between. what is for sure, though, it is going to be a cold weekend to come with widespread frosty nights. this is b

the brexit trade deal comes with the northern ireland protocol, stipulating that northern ireland, in effect, stays in the eu single market for good and so selling goods moving to northern ireland from the rest of the uk are subject to checks. the checks, we were told, would not happen, and that has brought pressure on northern ireland's peace settlement. the good friday agreement was signed in the �*90s and ended violence between nationalists, who want northern ireland to join the republic of ireland, and loyalists, who wanted to stay in the uk. and as part of this, the irish border is all open with no checks. and the eu and the uk agreed that any land border checks risked anger. but there was no equivalent calculation for loyalists and checks in the irish sea. and anger has followed. we have been betrayed and we feel like foreigners in our own country. tea and sympathy will not cut the mustard. we have also seen violence in loyalist areas. this was belfast in april, connected to upset over the handling of a large republican funeral last year and that is connected to a broader perc

was british soldiers being killed in northern ireland. as opposed to local northern ireland people. noel, do you agree with that? it seems to me there is a squeamishness in london—based newsrooms about these sorts of incidents in northern ireland. i know myself, when i was a reporter for newsround back in 2013, i was sent there to cover the flag rights. —— the flag riots. the last time there was a major flare—up of violence. and it was the most intimidating story i ever covered. i spent a long time researching it but in terms of the identity politics, everything that you could say wrong that could upset, or worse, offend a large group of people. do you think there is a problem with london—based newsrooms simply not wanting to tackle these issues? the flags issue was probably easier to cover because of the symbolism and the notion that a flag was being taken down from public buildings and there was an erosion in a sense of identity. even though it was a result of a democratic vote by an elected body. people could probably focus o

maybe slightly cooler, though, under the cloud in scotland and northern ireland. very little rain again on monday, it's just hanging around towards the north—west. after a dull and misty start for eastern england, we'll get some sunshine coming through. sunny spells as we head into the afternoon with some patchy cloud around. again it's looking pretty dry, it's warming up in scotland, and those temperatures continuing to climb across england and wales. it's going to be a warmer few days for the start of the week, and then from midweek it does turn a little bit cooler, but once again there's little or no rain. good morning. welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and victoria fritz. our headlines today: reflections after the day the queen and the nation bid farewell to the duke of edinburgh. one of the defining images, her majesty sitting alone as she said goodbye to her husband of 73 years. the royal family will continue to grieve this week, although the period of national mourning has come to an end. also this morning, the melting of the world's biggest iceberg,

those engaged in this destruction and disorder do not represent the people of northern ireland. the reasons, he said, were complex, but had been fuelled over a lack of prosecutions of those who attended a funeral for a former ira member and tensions over checks on goods entering northern ireland from great britain, agreed as part of that uk—eu brexit deal. but the answer to all these issues and any others lie in dialogue, engagement, and the democratic process, not through violence or disorder. it is incumbent on all of us engaged in political discourse to support northern ireland in leaving its divisive past behind and continuing instead to look ahead to all of the opportunities of the future. for labour, the violence was unjustified and unjustifiable. the prime minister made promises to the people of northern ireland that there would be no border with great britain, knowing full well his brexit deal would introduce barriers across the irish sea. he made those promises because he knew economic separation would be unacceptable to the unionist community, and the growing politic
