party leaders and officials are meeting today in belfast to discuss the key issues for an incoming stormont executive. the northern ireland assembly will sit on saturday to elect a government for the first time in two years after the british parliament agreed to revamp post—brexit trade rules to break a political stalemate. the country has been without devolved government since the pro—british democratic unionist party walked out in protest over the post—brexit trade rules, which it said created barriers with the rest of the united kingdom and undermined northern ireland's place in it. but dup leader sirjeffrey donaldson said his party would end its boycott. mark devenport is the former bbc northern ireland political editor — he told me more about today's events.

we are going to have first of all an informal meeting of politicians today to work out who will go into a power—sharing government and who will go into opposition and tomorrow we will have formal election of a new speaker at the legislative assembly and the appointment of ministers and one important symbolic moment will be the appointment of the first irish republican first minister for northern ireland which is something that 100 years ago for northern ireland was created, the assumption was by its creators that it would always have a pro—british unionist majority. that is still the case as we speak but the largest party here is an irish nationalist party here is an irish nationalist party that would actually like northern ireland to join the party that would actually like northern ireland tojoin the irish republic, independent of the uk, to form a new united ireland and it is one of the leaders of that party michelle 0'neill who will head up this power—sharing government at

belfast. this power-sharing government at belfast. ., , belfast. there have been conversations _ belfast. there have been conversations about - belfast. there have been - conversations about divisions belfast. there have been _ conversations about divisions within the dup about this deal. could there be any further for not following the restoration of the government in northern ireland? the restoration of the government in northern ireland?— restoration of the government in northern ireland? the leader of the ro-british northern ireland? the leader of the pro-british democratic _ northern ireland? the leader of the pro-british democratic unionist - pro—british democratic unionist party sirjeffrey donaldson face is quite a difficultjob of party management now in the months and years ahead. he has decided there has been enough on the proposal from the british government to assuage his concerns about what unionists sow a diminution of northern ireland �*s british political and economic identity but there are some in his party to take a more purist line, who still believe trade for instance will not be a smash between belfast and london as it would be between london and cardiff or london and glasgow and they are not very happy so we actually have a scene in the houses of parliament yesterday when democratic unionist party mps

talking in opposition to their own leader. but it looks like he's decided he has the numbers even though it is quite a narrow majority and he will press ahead with the deal in the formation of the power—sharing government and hope things work out in practice and that he is indicated in the end. mm? he is indicated in the end. away from the politicians, _ he is indicated in the end. away from the politicians, what - he is indicated in the end. away from the politicians, what do i from the politicians, what do everyday people in northern ireland make up the return to power—sharing? whilst there are still some concerns amongst the unionist grassroots for people who support the democratic unionists, i think the majority of people in northern ireland would be happy to see a return of the power—sharing government. for the last two years our public services have been run by unelected civil servants who have done their best but they have not been able to make various decisions and we have faced a situation in which we have been short of financial resources. we have not had our public sector workers paid in line with their counterparts elsewhere in the uk and

we have had a severe deterioration in public services, hospitals and schools, big waiting lists for instance for operations. so alongside the politics of the deal which will see power—sharing return, it is expected we will get quite a big cash infusion from london. the talk is about £35 billion over the next three years and that would be very important to address all those kind of concerns that we have seen in terms of deteriorating public services. . . , in terms of deteriorating public services. . ., , ., �* �* services. that was the former bbc correspondent _ services. that was the former bbc correspondent mark _ services. that was the former bbc correspondent mark davenport. i the scottish government has partnered with the international charity givedirectly, to launch the first ever cash program using funds pledged to address loss and damages due to climate change. nearly 3,000 families in malawi who survived the world s longest cyclone will receive mobile money payments to spend on housing, food, and sending their children to school. ahead of cop28, the programme aims to demonstrate how the soon—to—be—created un loss and damage fund can be delivered in cash directly to those

on the front lines of the climate crisis. with me is rory stewart who is senior advisor of "give directly�*. thank you forjoining us. i imagine there is a lot of work for this programme that you are carrying out with the scottish government but there has been hesitant is especially by western governments towards carrying out reparations for climate change damages to communities in the less developed parts of the world. how sure are you this programme will gain traction with other governments? we this programme will gain traction with other governments? we very much have to hepe — with other governments? we very much have to hope because _ with other governments? we very much have to hope because i— with other governments? we very much have to hope because i think _ with other governments? we very much have to hope because i think the - have to hope because i think the thing we forget about climate change is the impact will be felt most in the poorest countries of the world. they are notjust the poorest countries of the world. they are not just the countries the poorest countries of the world. they are notjust the countries most vulnerable to flooding and cyclones but if people are very proud they have no resilience, you lose your

of the fact we came forward immediately when we found the fort, we published it on the website because i'm a very charities all over the world or suffering fraud and we believe it's incredibly important to be open and learn the lessons and share the lessons with others and make sure it does not happen again. others and make sure it does not happen again-— others and make sure it does not hauenauain. �* ., ~ ., �*, happen again. before you know, it's im ortant happen again. before you know, it's important to — happen again. before you know, it's important to ask _ happen again. before you know, it's important to ask you _ happen again. before you know, it's important to ask you about - happen again. before you know, it's important to ask you about what's l important to ask you about what's happening in the middle east, you have a long career in the foreign office working in the middle east 0ffice working in the middle east and also as a government minister. we are hearing from the us plans to carry out strikes on iranian targets in iraq and syria and obviously there's been concern that the conflicts happening in the middle east could spread. are when you hear about the us extending the types of strikes at scurrying to target iranian targets? i strikes at scurrying to target iranian targets?— strikes at scurrying to target iranian targets? strikes at scurrying to target iranian taraets? ~' ,, ., , iranian targets? i think the us has a difficult balance _ iranian targets? i think the us has a difficult balance to _ iranian targets? i think the us has a difficult balance to strike - iranian targets? i think the us has a difficult balance to strike on - iranian targets? i think the us has a difficult balance to strike on the| a difficult balance to strike on the one hand it has to respond, you cannot be in a situation over 100 strikes have taken place over us soldiers, three us soldiers have been killed and do nothing but on the other hand you have to be

careful about escalation and dragging iran under the neighbouring countries into a conflict. so i think what they will be looking for is to do a series of clear targeted strikes which make it clear to the militia that there are consequences for attacking us troops without drawing national governments into the fight. drawing national governments into the fiuht. ., ,, drawing national governments into thefiuht. ,, ., ,, ., the fight. robbie stewart, senior adviser of give _ the fight. robbie stewart, senior adviser of give directly, - the fight. robbie stewart, senior adviser of give directly, thank - the fight. robbie stewart, senior| adviser of give directly, thank you forjoining us. adviser of give directly, thank you forjoining us-_ adviser of give directly, thank you forjoining us. for “oining us. thank you so much. forjoining us. thank you so much. -- rory stewart- _ forjoining us. thank you so much. -- rory stewart. breaking - forjoining us. thank you so much. -- rory stewart. breaking news i forjoining us. thank you so much. i -- rory stewart. breaking news from —— rory stewart. breaking news from manchester crown court. i can -- rory stewart. breaking news from manchester crown court.— manchester crown court. i can tell ou the manchester crown court. i can tell you the judge _ manchester crown court. i can tell you the judge in — manchester crown court. i can tell you the judge in the _ manchester crown court. i can tell you the judge in the case - manchester crown court. i can tell you the judge in the case of - manchester crown court. i can tell you the judge in the case of the i you the judge in the case of the brianna ghey sentencing has lifted the order in relation to the naming of the children involved in the case. they are both 16, up until now they have been known as girl x and boy y for legal reasons but we can tell you that real names which are eddie ratcliffe, 16 from luke and

scarlettjenkinson, also note 16 and from cultures. convicted in december of murdering brianna ghey almost exactly a year ago. the media had made an application for the names to be brought into the public domain and thejudge has be brought into the public domain and the judge has lifted that did this morning. we are now awaiting the sentencing of the two teenagers for the murder of brianna ghey. she was attacked in linear park in february last year, the teenagers, scarlettjenkinson and eddie ratcliffe were convicted of murder and she died after being stabbed 28 times in what was described as a ferocious and frenzied attack. we are going to hear statements this morning from members of the family of brianna ghey talking about the impact her death has had on them and we will get the sentencing from the church. she has already told the teenagers they will be given life sentences but we will hear how long

they will serve in prison as a minimum time before there will be potentially eligible for parole. just stay with us, this is baking is at the moment which is the two children who were found guilty of murdering brianna ghey have been named as eddie ratcliffe and scarlettjenkinson. what are we expecting to hear from the courts because the sentencing is meant to because the sentencing is meant to be today as well? the because the sentencing is meant to be today as well?— be today as well? the sentencing will take place — be today as well? the sentencing will take place at _ be today as well? the sentencing will take place at some _ be today as well? the sentencing will take place at some point - be today as well? the sentencing i will take place at some point today. the process will be that we will hear the victim personal statements from family members of brianna ghey. we expect to hear from her mother and a family members who will talk about her as they remembered her and the impact her death has had on them and it is their chance to have their moment in court and say what they want the church to share in terms of the impact this has had on them. we will then expect to hear some legal argument probably from the legal

representatives of the two people convicted of murder who will offer probably some sort of mitigation, their views in terms of how long the sentencing should be, how long they should have to serve in general and were then expect there will be a brief gap when the judge will go away to consider her sentence and she will come back and there will be a televised sentencing for about missus justice yip a televised sentencing for about missusjustice yip will appear on missus justice yip will appear on camera missusjustice yip will appear on camera and we will be able to bring that to you on the bbc news channel and she will deliver her sentence for the teenagers for the murder of brianna ghey. they will be given life sentences but the key part will be the minimum term that they are given, how long they will have to stay in jail for before they are potentially eligible for parole. remind us of what scarlettjenkinson and eddie ratcliffe were found guilty of because this was a crime that shocked the country? yes.

having a first for murder. that culminated in this preplanned attack on brianna ghey the chap on a saturday afternoon in broad daylight on the 11th of february last year. the teenagers were arrested that same weekend. an faced trial in december. there was a trial that lasted several weeks but it took the jury lasted several weeks but it took the jury less than five hours to return guilty verdicts of murder on both the subjects in the trial. what guilty verdicts of murder on both the subjects in the trial. the sub'ects in the trial. what more can the subjects in the trial. what more can ou the subjects in the trial. what more can you tell— the subjects in the trial. what more can you tell us _ the subjects in the trial. what more can you tell us about _ the subjects in the trial. what more can you tell us about scarlett - can you tell us about scarlett jenkinson and eddie ratcliffe because they appeared in court throughout the trial? the? because they appeared in court throughout the trial?— throughout the trial? they did. eddie ratcliffe, _ throughout the trial? they did. eddie ratcliffe, they _ throughout the trial? they did. eddie ratcliffe, they have - throughout the trial? they did. eddie ratcliffe, they have bothj throughout the trial? they did. - eddie ratcliffe, they have both been diagnosed with traits of autism. eddie ratcliffe during the trial stopped speaking to anybody other than his mother and when he was giving evidence he did via a keyboard with a support worker who then read out what he was saying. he has stopped speaking to anyone other

them not to be named saying that could potentially impact on the rehabilitation, if and when they left court and put them at risk while they were in prison and also scarlettjenkinson, herfamily have scarlettjenkinson, her family have already scarlettjenkinson, herfamily have already faced death threats as scarlettjenkinson, her family have already faced death threats as a result of the court case. they were worried about the welfare of the killers and other fun this as well. and their families as well. baking is coming in over the past few minutes, which is that the killers of brianna ghey have been named publicly as 16—year—old scarlett jenkinson and eddie ratcliffe, at the same age. for viewers who might bejoining us remind us of this case and what scarlettjenkinson and eddie ratcliffe were found guilty of? , ., , eddie ratcliffe were found guilty of? , .,, of? this was a shocking case. the events unfolded _ of? this was a shocking case. the events unfolded on _ of? this was a shocking case. the events unfolded on the _ of? this was a shocking case. the events unfolded on the 11th - of? this was a shocking case. the events unfolded on the 11th of- events unfolded on the 11th of february last year when scarlett jenkinson and eddie ratcliffe

hatched a plan to kill brianna ghey. they plotted this over text messages. they had drawn up, scarlettjenkinson had written a note about how they were planning on killing her. the lurcher to a park a saturday afternoon and went for a walk through the park and then at some point, she was stopped 28 times with a large knife. the teenagers who were 15 at the time, brianna ghey was 16, are then seen skipping away into a nearby field. brianna ghey was discovered by a couple walking their dog but sadly died at the scene. the teenagers were arrested soon after and stood trial in december here at manchester crown court. during the trial, it was revealed how scarlettjenkinson had a sort of fascination with serial killers and have been searching the dark web looking at material relating to killing and torture and

murder. she had downloaded a special browser allowing her to search parts of the internet not indexed on google. in court, both of them had tried to blame the other saying they had had nothing to do with the murder of brianna ghey themselves but the jury took less than five hours at manchester crown court to find them both guilty of murder in december last year.— december last year. thank you so much for that _ december last year. thank you so much for that update _ december last year. thank you so much for that update from - december last year. thank you so - much for that update from manchester crown court. we can now look at the background to this case. and nick barnett chances. she came across as very polite. she was very quiet. in terms of scarlett. there were no red flags. i

think sitting and listening in court to the messages between eddie and scarlett, was very surreal. , trying to imagine that anyone would talk in that way, plan in that way. and for it to be a child that you have actually met is even more shocking. the friend of brianna ghey had dark fantasies she shared with eddie ratcliffe, he smuggled a hunting knife from his home. unaware on a saturday afternoon, brianna ghey went to meet them. they walked the park and murdered her in cold blood. stabbing her more than two dozen times before running off across the fields, leaving her to die alone. they were arrested shortly after the attack and convicted in december. i shortly after the attack and convicted in december. i feel like the need convicted in december. i feel like

there of the 16—year—olds. they are due to be sentenced in the coming hours this afternoon at manchester crown court. they have been named in quite an unusual ruling, we do not see this very often. as scarlett jenkinson and eddie ratcliffe and we are showing you those pictures on your screen now. now let's get more on this and go back to manchester crown court, our correspondent there, rowan ritchie has been following proceedings and the case itself. —— woven bridge. the church has allowed journalists to name the killers of brianna ghey for the first time, so many different aspects to take into consideration. she had to weigh up the potential ramifications for the welfare of the killers but also the impact on their families as well. the family of

scarlettjenkinson have already received death threats so she had to balance out the welfare of the teenage killers involved in this case versus the incredible level of public interest there has been in the case on the principle of open justice around british courts and also if you look at previous cases when child killers have been named, there has been an argument of a deterrent effect that people need to know and understand who these people are to understand what happened fully and also to potentially help. anyone else from thinking of a similar act if they see the real person and how long that the person will have to stay in jail. i should also point out we have been receiving a few more details. the kc stood up this morning and explain how scarlettjenkinson had been assessed by psychiatrists after she was convicted and she told the psychiatrist that she had been the

one who stabbed brianna. she told the psychiatrist that she grabbed the psychiatrist that she grabbed the knife from eddie ratcliffe and stabbed her repeatedly. she told the psychiatrist she was excited by what she was doing. she was asked how many times she stabbed brianna and she said, a lot. we have also started to get victim personal statements, these are statements from family members of brianna gate when they get to talk about the impact of her death. —— ghey. peter spooner, brianna ghey�*s father, had talked about how he had been signed off work and would never come to terms with the loss of his daughter. he said every day, something reminds me of brianna and what she went through on that day. i wish i wasn't standing here reading this statement today but if i wasn't, it would have been another father standing here and i wouldn't wish this on anyone. we have also had a statement from the mother, esther gate. the mother

of brianna gaye. who talked
