northern ireland are looking to new solutions to its problemslj northern ireland are looking to new solutions to its problems. i think that people want to see politics that people want to see politics that delivers. they are not interested in the kind of tribal politics of the past in terms of unionism and nationalism. they want politics to put people first and that's what we have been offering. northern ireland is full of problems with her is the chaos around brexit or whatever and what they've been doing is offering solutions and that's what people want to see from their politicians and that's what we have given them. we have also had an interesting new member of the dup elected. for the first time in openly gay counsellor has been elected for dup. allison bennington elected for dup. allison bennington elected to the greater belfast council. what she was saying in her interview is that she thinks when you take everything together including that result it suggested may have been a progressive turn in northern ireland at this election. voters knew that allison was an openly gay woman and i wa

nationalist and loyalist communities in northern ireland? i think it a lwa ys in northern ireland? i think it always has been that we did it until now on a much smaller scale, that is the first time with dunnett in northern ireland constituency level. but we have grown our vote steadily and in recent government elections we had a huge surge towards the alliance party for that because we presented people with practical options but also we have a strong vision of a cohesive future where people work together, not looking at what is good for this or that community but talking about what is good for the entire community. i think people were encouraged by the idea that we could come together and work together for the common good. i think the brexit issue has broken up duopoly is which we had here in northern ireland, it has broken the duopoly even in westminster because what it has done is introduced the problem that is more complex and requires a different approach to politics. so i'm hopeful as a result of the brexit tobacco which has been deeply damaging that we may see at the other s

northern ireland has been left behind. will the prime minister do all she can to restore devolution before the end of the year? can i give my honourable friend that reassurance? i am as keen as she is to ensure we see the restoration of devolution in northern ireland. i believe that recently all the parties have come together with talks with the secretary of state and as appropriate to the irish government, and are ensuring those talks are continuing. 0bviously and are ensuring those talks are continuing. obviously there are issues that need to be addressed, concerns from the political parties on different issues. those need to be overcome such that we can see devolution restored because as she says, this is a matterfor the people of northern ireland and to ensure they have a devolved government that can ensure good governance in northern ireland. on two previous occasions i've asked the prime minister to do more to support the victims of the leasehold scandal. now she is about to move house anytime soon... laughter the pr

this is one of the biggest events in northern ireland. more than 100,000 people visit the balmoral show every year and one of the reasons why it is so huge is that agriculture and the food industry are massively important to the economy here. we have an industry here that is in fine fettle and really good form but potentially will be massively affected by brexit if we have a withdrawal without a proper agreement behind it. that could affect us in so many different terms, particularly around the movement of people and the access to markets and the tariffs associated with those. farm animals and farm produce are traded across the border all year round. the invisibility of the frontier helps to explain why 56% of people in this part of the uk voted to remain in the eu. no matter what three politicians are elected as meps on thursday, business people say they need clarity about brexit. we are frustrated because we are well—established hit within northern ireland but we would love to get a foothold within southern ireland and at the moment t

some showers for northern ireland. and some showers across parts of england and wales, especially in the south—east of england this time. those temperatures — there they are — still disappointing for this time of the year, below average and quite chilly again underneath the cloud and rain in northern england. that low pressure though is going to pull away or take away most of that rain with it as well. we've got low pressure, low pressure, high pressure, high pressure — it's what we call a cull, and when we have that sort of weather pattern you're going to get some showers. there's going to be some sunshine. difficult to say exactly where the showers are going to be. that's where they're looking at moment for friday. and some of those could be on the heavy side once again. but large parts of the uk will still have a dry day. but again, those temperatures are below par — 10—15 degrees fairly typically. however, as we head into the weekend, we've still got some chilly air to begin with, but it is going to be
