used to attack the u.k. mainland. now history could repeat itself. >> they have been using this in game plans as a provisional i.r.a. there's nothing gnaw. they can't think any new ideas. so anything that was done in the past, you could be sure that they'll try and duplicate that. >> but the threat isn't the same. they don't have the same amount of weapons or explosives as the i.r.a. used to have. >> the threat from the republicans is a serious one but nothing like the ones in the past. it's something that provides the possibility of occasional lethal attack, rather than sustained campaign on the mainland, but it's something which people in the government and in the security circles clearly take very seriously on the basis of evidence, rather than just imagination. >> dissident republicans don't have any political support here. 99% of people in northern ireland are against them. but there's no sign of the violence ending, and the fear is it could get worse. bbc news, belfast. >> delegates at the special united nations

the u.k. is a special envoy to afghanistan who's been an outspoken critic of the military policy there has stepped down from his position but the move has a field speculation that sharad cooper coals was forced out because of his views on the conflict artie's laura emmett is following the story for us in london. he had clashed with u.s. and nato officials his line has always been that there is no military solution to the problems that we're seeing in afghanistan and the only way forward is to open some sort of dialogue a close an egg of relationships with the taliban and the military solution just isn't viable he also. in june two thousand and ten he took an extended leave of absence from his post and already a couple of months ago it seems unlikely that he would return possibly a slightly less clear cut issue is whether he jumped or was pushed he was quite influential with david miliband who was the former foreign secretary before this new government came in four months ago but the moment the
