8:35 pm
there is a lot of unrest and these protests once again as the parliament begins to debate these reforms. the president did remove some of the most unpopular bits of it, things like cuts to pensions and new taxes on exports. the bill is expected to get past into parliament, but nonetheless, these protesters are very unhappy about what they say will penalise those on the lowest incomes, particularly those cuts. that privatisation of allstate run companies would be privatised under this bill. —— all the state run companies. we are getting more details of that breakthrough in northern ireland that could pave the way to a return of power—sharing at stormont, northern ireland's devolved assembly. so what's in the deal? well, before brexit, trade between northern ireland, the rest of the uk and the republic
8:36 pm
of ireland was straightforward because they were all in the eu and shared the same free trade rules. but when the uk — including northern ireland — left the eu, a deal was needed to allow trade to continue with the republic of ireland — which remains in the eu — without imposing border checks, which are unacceptable to unionists. the original deal meant new checks on goods from great britain coming into northern ireland had to take place at ports in northern ireland. that was disputed over claims it would put northern ireland at a disadvantage economically. so, it was amended and two "lanes" for goods arriving in northern ireland from great britain were created. a green lane for goods that would remain in ni. a red lane for goods that could be sent on to the republic
8:37 pm
of ireland, or the eu. this deal this week will reduce checks and paperwork on goods, and there will be no routine checks on british goods that are staying in northern ireland. it's also been enough to get the party to end its boycott of stormont — a move that left northern ireland without functioning government for nearly two years. here's how the dup's leader sirjeffrey donaldson described the deal. this agreement is something we have worked hard to deliver for the people of northern ireland. this is our achievement after two years of hard work and negotiation. live now to frankie devlin, partner with kpmg belfast. frankie, gaddafi you with us. important day, we have a bit more detail about what this deal looks like. the you be describing it as not perfect, but one that gets them back around the table —— ddu p. what do you make of the detail that we had today and what difference do they make day—to—day —— dup. goad they make day-to-day -- dup. good evenina. they make day-to-day -- dup. good evening- as — they make day-to-day -- dup. good evening- as a — they make day-to-day -- dup. good evening. as a community, _ they make day—to—day —— dup. (13mm evening. as a community, we're
8:38 pm
delighted that a deal has been reached, no functioning executive can get back hopefully in the next couple of days, which is really important for public services. in terms of what's in the deal itself, where working our way through the that sets out the main issues and some legislation which has been released. essentially, it should reduce certain checks in relation to retail goods coming into northern ireland and stay in northern ireland, and we've been for some time in the business community, but thatis time in the business community, but that is something we want to see. we do expect to see reduced checks on those types of goods and businesses will be all for that. simplicity is what they want. in terms of other
8:39 pm
things that have been achieved, we are expecting to see some further movement with regards to customs paperwork and customs decorations, because it's removing within the uk internal market, there shouldn't be a requirement for every declaration, so there should be a move towards commercial data, which should be sufficient. hopefully businesses will see an improvement in relation to the and more efficiency and less checks and controls.— to the and more efficiency and less checks and controls. people will be for: iven checks and controls. people will be forgiven for— checks and controls. people will be forgiven for looking _ checks and controls. people will be forgiven for looking at _ checks and controls. people will be forgiven for looking at this - checks and controls. people will be forgiven for looking at this and - forgiven for looking at this and saying what difference do a few extra checks make in the big scheme of things? but will say this is not like it disadvantage, this is pure politics. what difference with those
8:40 pm
checks have made to businesses? i think or that northern ireland is a complicated place, which i'm sure you're aware of. for some businesses, they would be looking at that purely from an economic perspective. because of brexit and additional checks and controls and things that are now required, it's not going to be easy any longer. it's going to be more costly. businesses will look at that from an economic point of view, not necessarily constitutional. it is certainly the case that things have been complicated and difficult, and again, businesses want to see those simplified as much possible. there obviously the consequences, and you're probably correct in that there is a mr of the economic and there is a mr of the economic and
8:41 pm
the politics. looking at what's in the politics. looking at what's in the paper, it does seem thatjeffrey donaldson has achieved quite a lot in terms of what he was hoping to get in relation to that. and get in relation to that. and you mentioned _ get in relation to that. and you mentioned this _ get in relation to that. and you mentioned this in _ get in relation to that. and you mentioned this in your- get in relation to that. and you mentioned this in your first - get in relation to that. and you - mentioned this in your first answer, but there are two real things at play here. one is the frictionless trade that you've talked about already. the other is just getting politics back up and running in northern ireland, in stormont. for two years, there hasn't been a functioning government. there are so many other things that the public and the business community need to be resolved. that will happen until the politicians are back around the table. == the politicians are back around the table. ., �* ., , , the politicians are back around the table. @ ,,, table. -- won't happen. businesses have been looking _ table. -- won't happen. businesses have been looking at _ table. -- won't happen. businesses have been looking at this _ table. -- won't happen. businesses have been looking at this for - table. -- won't happen. businesses have been looking at this for the . have been looking at this for the last number of years, and to some extent, we're looking at this is a missed opportunity. we haven't had the stability and the certainties
8:42 pm
that businesses need in order to make those critical investment decisions. they need to plan ahead for the next three years, five years. again, if we have instability around the rules and regulations, businesses will get on with it and they will make those decisions, they will invest in the business. we know an investment conference in the autumn last year, we know there's a lot of interest in what this framework can do. access to the eu, the rest of the uk doesn't have. now that we have this revised with the changes in the improvements, the uk internal market, the unfettered access to trade within the great britain market from northern ireland is something that nobody else has. we really want to see opportunity ——

8:44 pm
in a harbour environment. so, we're just flying the drone from from ship to shore. we think there's business potential to use drones for that type of activity in the future. those behind the programme say they've shown they could deliver supplies to large civilian vessels within the harbour. there's been ship—to—shore deliveries like this in singapore since 2022. unfortunately, the regulatory barriers we have, as well as the weather here, limit us from operating as much as we do in over in other countries. over in other countries. we want to expand that in the near future as regulations and regulators start to open up. the team say the trials have been a success and hope to be doing it for real soon. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. - you're live with bbc news. let's turn to the israel gaza conflict _ let's turn to the israel gaza conflict. john _ let's turn to the israel gaza conflict. john kirby- let's turn to the israel gaza conflict. john kirby said - let's turn to the israel gaza conflict. john kirby said the | conflict. john kirby said the current— conflict. john kirby said the current suspension- conflict. john kirby said the current suspension of- conflict. john kirby said the . current suspension of funding conflict. john kirby said the - current suspension of funding did not apply— current suspension of funding did not apply that _ current suspension of funding did not apply that the _ current suspension of funding did not apply that the measure - current suspension of funding did not apply that the measure was i current suspension of funding did - not apply that the measure was going to be permanent _ not apply that the measure was going to be permanent. here's— not apply that the measure was going to be permanent. here's what-

8:46 pm
contains some testimony and images you may find distressing. born amid the horrors of gaza's war. she's never known a parent's hug. she was delivered by c—section after her mother hanna was crushed in an israeli air strike. she died before she could name her baby. translation: we have lost connection with her relatives, nobody came. - her mother was killed and we don't know what happened to her father. over three months of relentless israeli bombardments haven't spared the youngest gazans. israel says it tries to avoid hurting civilians... ..but more than 11,000 children have reportedly been killed. many more have seen their families wrenched away. "the bomb fell on my mum's lap," abid says. "it took us days to take all her body parts from the rubble of the house."
8:47 pm
by the sandy graves of some of their relatives in a school turned shelter, the cousins of the hussein family sit together in trauma and grief. each has lost one or both parents. every day is hard. "it's not nice. there is no water, food or drink," says kinza. "everything is sad." all gazans now strive to find safety, and rely on aid hand—outs for the basics of life. the un's children's agency says its biggest concern is for an estimated 19,000 children who are orphaned, or have ended up alone, with no adults to look after them. for the youngest one, they very often cannot even say their name. they — and even the older one, they are usually in shock. when the extended family can be found, they also have their own children,

so sometimes it is difficult, so sometimes it's difficult, if not impossible, for them to take care of those unaccompanied and separated children. with their lives shattered, unicef says nearly all of gaza's children need mental health support. and even when the war is over, many will be left with terrible losses and even when the war�*s over, many will be left with terrible losses that they;ll struggle to overcome. that they'll struggle to overcome. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. if you want one that story, bbc .com/ news. also on the investigation looking at the scale of the description. ajay did —— aid agencies warning that gaza is

becoming unlivable. some of the world's biggest music stars will fall silent on tiktok — if a row between universal music and the social media platform isn't resolved. the move means tiktok will no longer have access to songs by artists including taylor swift, eltonjohn and drake. universal says tiktok has been "bullying" and wanted to pay only a fraction of the rate for music agreed with other sites. tiktok says universal is spinning a "false narrative". music companies earn royalty payments when their songs are played on streaming and social media platforms. to take a deeper look at the relationship between tiktok and universal, i'm joined by tatiana siri—san. the search is still on for the monkey that escaped it could mean a lot of miss music

8:51 pm
that's the issue because universal is accusing tiktok of being a music platform by the back door. and you touched on it there. they both need each other because we know that a lot of stars these days don't rely on radio plays, they don't rely on being on tv, they get discovered on platforms like tiktoker. we see that in our surveys to find out how users are discovering music was. we see that 16—19 —year—olds mostly used tick—tock, so it is an important promotional tool. with the music industry, labels are starting to see this is important for future revenue. social tends to come up a lot in those conversations. it's also putting it on this emerging
