inspections would take place at northern ireland's ports. but that's prompted criticism that this arrangement has in effect created a border in the irish sea. the government's critics say this was perfectly clear when the deal was signed. the uk also wants to change the role of the european court ofjustice in overseeing these arrangements. lord frost said today he wanted to amend the protocol and support the good friday peace agreement in northern ireland. the protocol is not working, it's completely lost consent in one community in northern ireland. it's not doing the thing it was set out to do, protect the belfast good friday agreement. in fact it's doing the opposite. it has to change. lord frost there. the eu will set out its proposals tomorrow. 0ur europe editor katya adler is in berlin. tell us a little more of what we can expect in terms of a response. i tell you what we will not expect, and that is that we really are on the edge of a looming trade war between the eu and the uk, the focus in european capitals just is on soaring gas pr

the northern ireland protocol is the northern ireland i protocol is the northern ireland part of the deal that took us out of the eu and this is what it does, it sets up a series of checks and controls between great britain and northern ireland, so inside the uk, and that has made it more difficult to send stuff from great britain to northern ireland and the reason it does that is because both sides agreed there should not be a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland, an important part of the peace process, and when the map zooms out you understand why that is also important to the eu because ireland is part of the wider eu single market, so when things are in ireland it can travel anywhere across the eu. and so for them, that is an important thing that they need to protect them at the borders to the external market, but for the uk the external market, but for the uk the government is arguing that this is preventing us trading freely between one part of the country and another and specifically for unionists in northern ireland, they say it is putting the cons
