engagement. there has been a tony, if i may, it is so fitting that you should be watching this tremendous push to change across the whole country. has enough been done literally surrounded by the loved in terms of recruitment from black ones, the families of the pilot and and ethnic minority groups?|j also crew members who were there. i in terms of recruitment from black and ethnic minority groups? i think thatis and ethnic minority groups? i think that is a difficult question to mean, in many ways, it is exactly answer. because what you don‘t want how this story should be. thank you. to do is recruit somebodyjust because of their skin colour or i can't believe all this. this is because of their skin colour or because of their religion. i think thatis because of their religion. i think that is wrong. what we want to do in unbelievable to me. gym, give us a all the police forces across the thought, i know many members of your country is recruit the best people family are here today. they are all for thejob. ata family are here today. they are all at a table over there. good morning we also heard to you guys. what has this meant for from leroy logan, who is a former superintendent in the metropolitan police and former chair of the metropolitan branch yourfamily? of the black police association. he discussed diversity in the police force on the today programme. to you guys. what has this meant for your family? it is awesome. i think it isa your family? it is awesome. i think it is a memorial to the men but as much to tony as them, and the it is very striking that people nobility of the human spirit. and would not see the met police as an meghan, i heard you gasping a couple of times when you are watching that. employer of choice, and i think that is something that needs to be especially as the one plane went up addressed, because that is one of the reasons why the met police is and the symbolism, there, the not a reflective organisation. 20

missing man, was just and the symbolism, there, the missing man, wasjust so touching in ways that i can't even imagine that. yea rs not a reflective organisation. 20 years later, and in the initialfew i hadn't expected it to be that yea rs years later, and in the initialfew years just after the macpherson spectacular. i don't know what i was report was published, we saw 100% expecting but it was more than i ever could have hoped for. yeah, it increase and there were smaller is so powerful, isn't it? and to know that their names, all of the numbers, but because of the ten us service men, were on one of measuring of the indicators to see the planes going above us, and with a huge crowd as well, thousands of progress around numbers and people who have come here to commemorate the service which your recruitment was so stark because of relatives gave. it is incredible, the independent oversight from the home secretary chairing the steering isn't it? we are so pleased you all took the trouble to come. i know it group. what gets measured gets done. has meant a lot to you, tony, to meet face to face these family and we need to get focused on those members. it has, very much so. it recommendations to get the progress we wa nt means so members. it has, very much so. it means so much for us to meet you as recommendations to get the progress we want to see and i call on well. we will get together again. cressida dick, the commissioner, to look at these things and i‘m willing you say that. we will. well, we have to work with her, just like i worked with the previous commissioner on been very blessed... making sure we get a reflective breaking news now to bring you. we organisation. are hearing that ian austin, the mp

research indicates that almost a third of young people have for dudley, has decided to leave the lived through a traumatic experience, making them twice labour party. this newsjust as likely to develop mental health issues. the findings, from king‘s college emerging in the last few minutes. he london, suggest that one in every thirteen young people in england and wales has experienced post—traumatic stress disorder has tweeted about it himself before reaching the age of 18. our health correspondent already. there you go. catherine burns reports. he has spoken to the local flow shaman looks like any healthy newspaper, which you may be able to 20—year—old but as a baby she was see in the tweet. we understand that although he is leaving the labour seriously ill and needed life—saving party, it is not tojoin surgery and had several traumatic experiences in hospital. then, when although he is leaving the labour party, it is not to join the independent group. that is our she was eight, she had a breakdown. understanding at the moment. but she was not diagnosed with ptsd this resignation means he has become until she was 16. i had all these the ninth mp to leave the labour party this week. he talks about a labels, depression, ocd, panic attacks, but the main cause was ptsd and it was eight years before i got broken party and this puts even more the proper diagnosis. researchers pressure on]eremy corbyn to make say ptsd is all too common in young clear what he is going to do about people. they asked a group of 2018 the brexit in the crucial days —year—olds in england and wales about their experiences of trauma. ahead. our political correspondent

that can be anything involving the ben wrightjoins us from westminster. we were wondering if threat of death, injury or abuse. about one third said they had been there would be more resignations. exposed to it. of that group, about now we have ian austin. it was 2596 exposed to it. of that group, about 25% went on to develop ptsd, and a lwa ys now we have ian austin. it was always felt further like —— are more those children were highly likely to likely that further defections and have other mental health problems. resignations were to come on the ptsd is curable but researchers say labour side, that feeling again only a minority of children with it ]eremy corbyn is deep, that was got medical help. the government evident from a meeting at the start of the week and one of the mps who says supporting the mental health of came out of that was really angry children and young people is a key particularly about how the party was priority and that it is increasing handing anti—semitism, that was in funding for this work faster than austin, the mp for dudley north any other area. catherine burns, bbc since 2005. he has given an interview to the local newspaper news. there, which is an excoriating attack, really on]eremy corbyn‘s well, let‘s now hear from professor andrea danese, leadership. he says the hard truth a senior researcherfrom institute of psychiatry, psychology is that party is tougher on the and neuroscience at king‘s college thank you very much forjoining us people complaining about anti—semitism than it is on the to talk about the study. ptsd is not something we usually associate with anti—semites. it is the way the children and young people, is it? this has been developed studying abuse has been meted out to some labour mps vetera ns,

abuse has been meted out to some labourmps and abuse has been meted out to some labour mps and the way he feels this has been developed studying veterans, but we see increasingly those people have been treated by but it is something that also applies to young people. ptsd is the leadership are at the root of his despair with]eremy corbyn‘s characterised by a set of symptoms leadership so he feels there is no such as re—experiencing traumatic option now but to leave the party. he's obviously been wrestling with this for quite awhile. as you said, memories, distressing memories, he is not planning tojoin new group nightmares and avoiding reminding us yet. but he is out of the labour of the trauma, detachment, party. —— the new group. yet. but he is out of the labour party. -- the new group. this irritability. it doesn't have to be emphasises, again, doesn't it, the something that happened directly to fracturing of politics we are seeing the child or young person themselves. it could have happened now, both over anti—semitism in the to someone they know. that is case of the labour party, as well as correct. there are indirect types of of course along the lines of brexit trauma, but the direct ones are the as well. politics is splintering at ones that count the most for the the moment. i think the issue risk of ptsd. you say in the study unifying the new independent group that providing effective treatment early on could prevent mental health is brexit, they are united in problems continuing into adulthood. feeling it is going disastrous hero and you say we encourage parents and they want another referendum but ca re rs and you say we encourage parents carers to seek support if children i think on the labour side of the are exposed to trauma and suffer fracture you talked about, yes, brexit is part of it and deep anger from distressing psychological in parts of the parliamentary labour symptoms. so, first of all, what party about how the leadership is

approaching it, its reluctance to symptoms. so, first of all, what symptoms should parents and carers embrace another referendum. there is look out for? it is very normal for children exposed to trauma to have also anger at]eremy corbyn‘s emotional symptoms, such as being positioning of the labour party, his upset or clingy, and these will personal leadership and in particular, the way that the anti—semitism crisis just isn't recede in a few days or weeks for going away and is now driving people most of them. symptoms that are out of the party. i think for ian severe last more than one month and austin, that issue is the trigger they should be referred to child and for his departure. ben, thank you, adolescent mental health services. for his departure. ben, thank you, for the moment, thank you very much lasting for more than a month, that and we will get more reaction to the is the key to look out for. what is news that ian austin, the mp for the challenge then for child and dudley, has decided to leave the labour party, the ninth mp to leave the labour party this week. let's go adolescent mental health services for the government or anyone involved in this area? there are live to dublin now where ireland's several barriers that we need to foreign minister and deputy prime minister simon tony is speaking about the irish government's plans understand and one is about stigma for a no—deal brexit scenario. and shame that prevents young people from accessing health care. the about the irish government's plans for a no-deal brexit scenario. we have health provisions to protect second is probably with health care citizens on a north—south basis so itself, in terms of the lack of that children from belfast can resources as well as training to continue to come to dublin for specialist paediatric care, so patients in donegal can continue to identify it, this very complex form cross the border to access hospital

of psychopathology. if families have ca re a child experiencing the sort of cross the border to access hospital care in derry. new laws to protect employees, if their companies go symptoms you describe, lasting for a month or longer, do most family insolvent, new powers for state struggle and i just agencies to help businesses. we will month or longer, do most family struggle and ijust hope the child will get better by themselves somehow? very often that is the case have laws to ensure bus operators because of stigma and shame can enter and operate in the uk, associated with mental health, so it‘s important we discuss these issues so people feel more confident grant legislation to protect irish and british students so that we can and comfortable talking about their continue to travel to each other‘s countries for education. laws to problems with health care professionals. i'm assuming there is good evidence that if you get that make sure ferry crew can continue to intervention early on, it it is operate in our ports here. a major section to ensure that there will be successful in stopping the problem is carrying through into adult hood. noissue section to ensure that there will be no issue with social welfare and there is very good evidence, some pension payments in the future, for guidelines released for ptsd, the thousands of british citizens in showing there is a very good outcome ireland who rely on british pensions when children are treated early with each week for their income, and indeed, the irish citizens in the uk who rely on pensions coming from trauma focused cognitive behavioural here. laws on extradition and the therapy, so the key is identifying early so effective treatment can be protection of the single electricity market on the island. all crucial delivered and prevent the enormous burden of child and adolescent issues that need a new legal base in

mental health problems later on. thank you very much for coming in to the context of a no—deal brexit. in talk about the study. to you. bought a nutshell, this legislation is about maintaining the things that now. let‘s get a full round—up. here work so well today. but let me be is mike. very clear in saying, a disorderly we start with some breaking news brexit will be a lose lose lose, for regarding chelsea..not the manager, but they won‘t be allowed to register new players for the next the uk, the eu and for ireland. we two transfer windows. cannot offset all of the damage that it would hamper any new manager it will do but we are doing wanting to bring in new players. everything we can through legislation, through preparation, it‘s a punishment by fifa for breaches through investment, through relating to the international transfer and registration of players information and through support of the multiple sectors and the under the age of 18. that has common in the last ten multiple numbers of people that will minutes, a transfer ban on chelsea be impacted potentially by that which will last the next two worst—case scenario. so i am going tra nsfer which will last the next two transfer windows. we are yet to have to ask my colin to say a few words any reaction from the club itself. 110w to ask my colin to say a few words now and i look forward to your the current team questions, thank you. thank you and are doing well at least in the europa league. good morning, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here. as the they eased the pressure,

on manager, for maurizio sarri tanaiste has thank you for being here. as the ta naiste has outlined thank you for being here. as the tanaiste has outlined what we are announcing today, it has been part with a comfortable 3—0 win of huge process of work under way over malmo, of sweden. goals for three years now, for preparation from olivier giroud, ross barkley, and this for three years now, for preparation for brexit as a whole. it is work from callum hudson—odoi,at stamford bridge. that we are doing which we hope will sarri isn‘t out of the woods just yet though — chelsea play essentially ensure that we protect manchester city in sunday‘s, league cup final, and tottenham in as much as possible the status in the premier league next week, quo for people, the hundreds of which will be much bigger tests. thousands of people on this island football is based on results, who will be affected. it focuses on so if you don‘t get results, you get pressure — not only measures to protect individuals but the coach, also the players. so we are trying to keep this also to protect the economy, jobs, growth and in particular sectors momentum and go forward. which we know are going to be impacted. i think importantly, as arsenal needed to score at least twice, the tanaiste has outlined, this is to overturn a 1—0 deficit following, their away tie, legislation, most of which we hope against bate borisov. never to have to use because they did more than that, at the emirates, to win 3—1, obviously, our objective is to ensure at the end of this, we have on aggregate and book their place in the last 16. an orderly withdrawal, and we have an orderly withdrawal, and we have an agreement between the eu and the we pushed and we carry on every time uk. however, even with an agreement, and we scored the second goal. there are some parts of this that i think this mentality is good also will still i need to be limited and because the match is very dangerous for us, if they can ina no will still i need to be limited and in a no deal scenario, every part of it will need to be amended. —— will

still need to be implemented. if i score in our stadium. could take this opportunity to thank the attorney general, his office and the attorney general, his office and the team for all of the work they have done on this, but also to thank celtic‘s hopes of making the last 16, our own staff and team and officials are over once more, in the department of foreign as they bowed out in valencia. ]eremy toljan, was sent off, affairs, in the department of the in the first half, and the spaniards made them pay. taoiseach, in finance, public kevin gameiro making it 3—0 expenditure and reform, education, health, transport and communications, a huge amount of on aggregate to valencia. work has gone into what is amen —— a monumental piece of work, let‘s have a look at some notwithstanding the fact that of this morning‘s back pages. departments have to get on with everyday business as well as other kiss of life — a big picture of callum preparations for brexit, so just to hudson—odoi‘s goal celebration thank everybody for that piece of after he helped chelsea to that 3—0 work. the next steps, the tanaiste win over malmo in the europa league. will lead the bill at the second stage debate which will start next buying maurizio sari sometime week on tuesday, the 26, and it will according to the daily mail. continue on the 27th and possibly the mirror also features chelsea and arsenal‘s europa league wins, the 28th as well, while the second but they fast forward to sunday‘s stage is always taken on the floor big premier league match between manchester united of the house, the committee stage is and liverpool, quoting the reds‘ captain]ordan henderson who says usually ta ken by of the house, the committee stage is the kop stars are relsihing usually taken by the individual or the title battle. releva nt usually taken by the individual or relevant committees, but given the fa ct we relevant committees, but given the fact we have so many issues that it and in the times half of the back is spread across nine government

departments and almost as many page, is about manu tuilagi, apparently getting set committees, it has been decided that to turn his back on england, this will be taken on the floor of and play for paris side, racing 92. the dail, which enables all sectors and spokespersons to contribute to this but also allows individual ministers to speak to their own players based abroad sections and to go through this line cannot be considered by england. by line, which we will be doing. this will take place from the 4th of march until the eighth and then it will move to the seanad where it will move to the seanad where it will be taken for second stage on the 11th and 12th of march and then although any contract wouldn‘t start until after the world cup moving to committee and support in]apan in the autumn. stage on the 13th and 14th of march. looking ahead while it is usual in presenting a to the six nations this weekend, bill that we have pre—legislative we will be live in cardiff scrutiny, with the agreement and support of all political parties but for sportsday this evening ahead of that clash between wales also of the business committee, that and england, as well as previewing has been waved to try to ensure this the other men‘s and women‘s third round matches. tune into the bbc news channel is passed as quickly and efficiently as possible. but in saying that, all at half past six for more on that and a full of the ministers have come before their own relevant committees and round—up of today‘s sport. have addressed their own various different sections before the in cricket, england‘s women members as well. in addition to this are in action this morning, playing their first one day international against india. england won the toss piece of primary legislation, there

microphone, are you ready? we will normal match. ta ke microphone, are you ready? we will take two questions at a time before matches are one frame only, the ministers respond so maybe we up to the final and last will kick off with simon? tanaiste, a maximum of 10 minutes. white won 54—26. businesses are still in the dark let‘s finish with the olympics — and we have heard about breakdancing very much on north—south measures. potentially featuring, in 202a. we know a lot of east but when can well, before that, the 2020 games will feature bmx you start getting into detail or freestyle for the first time. north—south issues, sbs checks, customs checks and the like. in here‘s a taste of what you‘ll see. recent days, you have gone back to the political declaration of december 2017. you might explain the how do you not get dizzy doing that? logic behind that, why that might stand in the event of a no—deal brexit, given that the agreement, the divorce agreement, if that is this is the latest instagram post from germany‘s chris bohm. not ratified by westminster, the bmx freestyle, one for us to 2017 agreement is hardly going to challenge ourselves with before the count, it is as worthless as the 2020 olympics next year. how did he divorce deal. i wondered if you could explain the back ground and not fall off? i hope that hasn‘t that? devlin mackay, iwill go left you dizzy, anita. more from the bbc sport centre at 1115. could explain the back ground and that? devlin mackay, i will go to rte as well, maybe? no. —— tanaiste, i feel a challenge ifeel a challenge coming i feel a challenge coming for you, mike. might need a bit of practice, that one. thanks, mike. i will go. the point i have made repeatedly is that long before the

withdrawal agreement was agreed between the 28 governments, and that was the result of a long and ian austin says he has no plans to torturous negotiating process, where join the new independent group in the commons. the irish government effectively, a backstop and an irish rubbishes legislation for a no—deal protocol as part of the withdrawal brexit, a scenario the irish foreign agreement was designed around british red lines, because an minister said would cause widespread insistence of the uk are leaving the customs union and single market, as damage. and remembering the ten, well as the european union, then the backstop was the only workable honouring the anniversary of a world war ii plane crash in which ten fallback position that was going to soldiers lost their lives. an update act as an insurance mechanism. in on the markets, here is how london other words, if the future and frankfurt stand, and in the us, relationship discussions did not thatis and frankfurt stand, and in the us, that is how the dow]ones closed. a comprehensively deal with delivering an absence of border infrastructure if there were not other proposals that could solve the problem, then the backstop kicked in. but the weekly sunday service will no longer be compulsory for churches after a original conversations around the principal of that insurance vote was passed by the church of mechanism, if you like, happened in england‘s ruling body. the general

synod voted to change the law dating the build—up to december 2017, when back 400 years which required a ireland made the case that we cannot sunday service in every church they move this negotiation on to talk looked after. we can speak to the about the future relationship, u nless we chaplain to the speaker of the house about the future relationship, unless we get a guarantee from the uk side that no decision they will of commons, and thank you for joining us. churches and sunday make will result, as an unintended consequence of it, because nobody services, they go together, don‘t they? but times are changing. times wa nts consequence of it, because nobody wants border infrastructure, in physical border infrastructure re—emerging. and that is why, in are changing, but it‘s notjust the shortage of clergy but it‘s also the december 2017, essentially as... fa ct shortage of clergy but it‘s also the fact people work on sundays and the fa ct we fact people work on sundays and the fact we build recreational re—emerging. and that is why, in december2017, essentially as... in activities around it, football, order to move the process on, the by, activities around it, football, rugby, whatever, so things are happening that prevent people from british government gave a guarantee being in that place on a particular to ireland under the eu that they would deal, working with the eu, day, on a sunday, so we have to find with the irish border in three ways, creative ways of holding acts of in one of three ways, i should say. worship, notjust on a sunday, but first, they hoped to be able to solve the problem with a compressive future relationship agreement but if people say tuesday might be the new that was not possible, they would offer bespoke solutions to ireland. sunday, for us, here in the city, in but if there was no agreement on london, thursday is the new sunday those bespoke solutions, which because i don‘t do a sunday service

presumably would have been technology and so on, then the in my church but i do hold a service default position, if you like, would ona be to maintain full alignment of the in my church but i do hold a service on a thursday and i have other mid week times two. so it's not the day rules of the customs union and single market in the area necessary to prevent border infrastructure, to of the week someone is worshipping, it is the fact they are worshipping. facilitate an all ireland economy now and in the future and to protect it is wonderful to have the day when the peace agreement. that was very everybody can concentrate on that, but we know that is not a reality clear. it was a political agreement. any more so we need not cry over it was not contingent on a withdrawal agreement being spilt milk. we need to find creative finalised. and so that principal ways to make sure we continue to discussion, in return for which, by worship. is there some regret for the way, ireland and the eu move to you over the fact of sunday perhaps the way, ireland and the eu move to the process on, which is what the uk not being that special day that it we re the process on, which is what the uk were looking for, to talk about the has been seen as for so long?” future relationship and what it might look like, and so that commitment and that political discussion at the time, i think, is very relevant in the context of a think personally it is regrettable no—deal brexit, should it happen. we don‘t have the special day but we have to be realistic and there‘s no because nobody on this island wants point trying to do something if you to see physical border infrastructure re—emerging and don‘t have people coming to it and therefore, we know that we can do you have to go to where people are, this through regulatory alignment if so perhaps it is a little harbour no other mechanism works. certainly, that you create a place of work and

ina no no other mechanism works. certainly, in a no deal scenario, the british and irish governments and the eu in parliament i have services of holy communion on a wednesday and i would have to work collectively together to figure out a way of doing that but i suspect the know there are other things that happen and prayer meetings happen, regulatory alignment route would end and in other churches they do find up regulatory alignment route would end up looking something quite similar other days to do things with children after school, etc.” to the current backstop proposal because of course we have looked at other days to do things with children after school, etc. i think there are examples of priests in rural areas having 20 churches to this and all alternative proposals. look after and physically somebody the only workable solution that i cannot get round to all of those think is on the table right now, churches on one day. do you have any having looked at this for two years concerns about whether this might affect some parishioners more than others, perhaps elderly parishioners also, —— orso who find it more difficult to having looked at this for two years also, —— or so is a mechanism that looks very much like the backstop. travel? i am not sure that that will that is where this is coming from, simon, andi bea travel? i am not sure that that will be a major problem. i think we that is where this is coming from, simon, and i don't think it is unreasonable ask to ask the british, to follow through on a commitment travel to other things that we want to go to and participate in and they have already made in this area which by the way is in their already churches in rural areas are interests, too, in a context of northern ireland and the people there, as well as ours of course. configuring how they do their sorry, simon, we have to move on, we worship and people would have been a are under pressure stop sean?” sorry, simon, we have to move on, we are under pressure stop sean? i will try to come back in a second. sorry, custom to having a church on their

door share, so i don‘t think it will sean. go on. inaudible question bea door share, so i don‘t think it will be a problem. i know some people are very attached to their building and wa nt very attached to their building and want something in their building but we have to be realistic all round and the important thing is that we look, i mean, we are challenged in worship, which have a day of the lots of ways in relation to week it is, we offer prayers and praise to god. looking at a purely north—south cooperation, even if there is a brexit deal. we don't practical point of view, the church have devolved institutions in and state and the cost and upkeep of northern ireland. the north—south ministerial council is not meeting these churches, if they are not asa ministerial council is not meeting as a result. many of the north—south being used, perhaps it makes sense bodies don't have the kind of ona being used, perhaps it makes sense political direction that they need on a practical level to either sell because of the absence of devolved the land, the building, or do something else with it?” government instalment —— in the land, the building, or do something else with it? i am not keen of getting rid of things. i‘m stormont. there are challenges in not keen on that. what we find more absence of the pressure is a brexit although brexit adds to that even and more, the churches are becoming further and that is why the british and irish governments need to work larger and the community can gather closely together in relation to the for various activities, so we need issues that will involve north—south cooperation in the context of to ensure that the buildings are being used, not just to ensure that the buildings are being used, notjust for an hour on brexit, deal or no deal, as we move a sunday but used during the week by through the next few weeks and the community and it becomes a real months. you know, as late as last place where the community can have a

night, i would months. you know, as late as last night, iwould have months. you know, as late as last night, i would have been speaking to my counterpart in the british sense of ownership and can government about those issues. 0k, participate in the life of that sean defoe. tanaiste, in the beefing place. thank you so much for your time this morning. let mejust up sean defoe. tanaiste, in the beefing up of enterprise ireland to provide more investment, is government money remind you of the breaking news in going to be put behind that and in the last hour that the dudley north terms of individual businesses, what can they expect from there? and also mp, ian austin, says he is leaving in relation to talking this week the labour party, becoming the ninth about support for farmers, fisheries mp this week to leave the party. mr and small businesses with the eu, is austin says he has no plans tojoin there a fund of the eu have put the new independent group of mps but aside? what kind of numbers are we talking about? first, what this two of them have come out in support of his decision and chukka umuna legislation does for enterprise ireland is gives them the capacity to lead to a business. it does not have the legal basis to do that right now. at the moment, enterprise ireland can essentially take an equity stake in a company or they gave him massive respect, it‘s a can provide grant aid. but low painful and hard but he stayed true to his values and what he believes to his values and what he believes facilities are being facilitated as to be in the national interest. ian well. i think the one element of austin‘s main reason for leaving the this legislation that we would labour party is of the anti—semitism probably be doing anyway but not in this timeline is in the increased —— issue. also luciana berger, one of those to leave the party earlier

capacity for enterprise ireland have more sex ability in terms of how this week says, i fully understand why ian austin has come to this they support business. this would have been part of a broader piece of difficult and painful decision. we legislation that probably would have been introduced between now and the will have more on that developing end of the year. we have fast story coming up for you. right now forwarded this element of it so that it is time for the weather forecast. enterprise ireland would have maximum flexibility to support good morning. for many of us of businesses, particularly in vulnerable sectors, and we also know another very mild, springlike day but we have a fly in the ointment that we have a change in the state and that is fog, dense in places aid rules, that allows enterprise through eastern, south—eastern and ireland to be able to give more southern areas of england but it money directly to businesses that should lift into low cloud although may be vulnerable as a result of it will peg back temperatures and it will feel a little bit is external pressures, in this case, brexit. we are seeing some reports appointing. it is mild for all of us in the media today of the first and we are drawing up warm air in example of the supports that may be the southerly wind and it‘s giving made available to certain companies those damages an extra boost. for in the food industry in the context most areas it will shift as we go through the morning, but in western ofa in the food industry in the context of a company working with enterprise ireland in that regard. potentially, scotla nd through the morning, but in western scotland it is quite blustery and thatis ireland in that regard. potentially, that is the flavour of things to come in terms of how the state may you could see gusts of 45 mph, and be able to support companies to diversify because of an external plenty of sunshine on offer albeit factor outside of their control, hazy at times, so these are the into other markets. in terms of the winds, fairly light for england and

wales. temperatures still doing broaderfinancial into other markets. in terms of the broader financial supports that may well. 13 up to 16 celsius maximum be available, i think it is too today and north—east england and early to say i was at a long brexit meeting last night in sligo and we north wales and north devon, we talked about this with farming could see 17 or 18. the wind will organisations. until we know will strengthen for northern ireland and have more detail on what a no—deal the western isles of scotland brexit looks like from a british overnight. 55 mph is possible. perspective, in the context of the elsewhere, light winds, clearskies trading environment that they would and we see the return of mist and or would not facilitate, as regards fog, especially in eastern england and it shouldn‘t be too cold to the application of tariffs for start saturday morning. the mist and example, or not, for that matter, thenit fog will take a while to clear, example, or not, for that matter, then it is hard to anticipate what rather like today, but we still have this might cost to support a high pressure in the driving seat and this weather front will try to business to allow them to survive through a very difficult transition sneak in, but as it bumps into high period, where they would have to pressure it will fizzle out and it look to diversify away from the uk will introduce more clout for northern ireland, outbreaks of potentially. what we're doing at the patchy rain working into western moment with the condition and within scotland, and it might clip parts of our department of in particular, is west wales and the far south—west of england and away from there, once to look at different options that the mist and fog has lifted, lengthy could be adopted, depending on circumstances and decisions in spells of sunshine and still mild. westminster. i mean, it is... i

temperatures between 11 and 15 at mean, it is really extraordinary that with 36 days to go, we don't the maximum. it looks like it will have clarity on some of these things bea the maximum. it looks like it will be a chilly start in the south—east but that is where we are and that is on sunday morning and the mist and what we need to adapt to. stephen low cloud, fog in places, that will be more widespread and will take a o'brien. to add to that, may be while to clear but the winds will be looking at more longer term support lighterfor northern while to clear but the winds will be lighter for northern ireland and western scotland and as the day goes from the commission and from the european at the moment, at the on we will see sunshine emerging but it will be a touch cooler on sunday general affairs council and the finance, is now focusing on the next but temperatures above average for seven—year term for the european the time of year, and a similar budget switches 1.100 £35 trillion story at the start of the week with high pressure in charge, the weather —— meadow 1.100 35 euros, but that fronts are trying to make inroads as is not taking into account that the we head through the week. to summarise, mild into next week, some current budget is as well so we are sunshine on offer, chilly nights to looking at the flexibility in the come and for many spots, fog will be next budget to deal with the outcome of no—deal brexit so that is looking an issue. but today, it is at the longer term and obviously the springlike. cap on research, innovation and various other areas will be significant for us in that regard. helen mcentee, the minister for european affairs for the irish government, alongside the deputy prime minister and foreign minister,

simon kavanaugh, who said a disorderly brexit would be lose lose lose for the uk, ireland and the eu. —— simon callow the knee. he set out the no—deal brexit plans. he said in a nutshell, the legislation is about maintaining the things that work so well today. he's been talking about citizens‘ well today. he‘s been talking about citizens‘ rights, health care, transport and education. let‘s go back to dublin and talk to chris page. mr cohen is saying that it is astonishing with 30 days to go that they don‘t have clarity on these areas. . yes, you got a sense listening to simon coveney and the european affairs minister in the irish republic, helen mcentee, the complexity of the legislation they have published this morning to prepare for a no deal scenario. there are remarkable thing about all of this i suppose is that the irish

government hopes that all of the work they have done, all this contingency planning, will go to waste, in a sense. they want a deal and they have said that no matter what they do in terms of no—go preparations, they have had to com pletely preparations, they have had to completely mitigate the effects —— they can‘t completely mitigate the effects but they want to be as well prepared as they possibly can be. listening to mr coveney in the news conference just across the road from me in dublin, in the irish government headquarters buildings there, the areas he listed, everything from pensions to bus transport to ferry transport to air transport, to farming, to support or businesses who may be negatively impacted by tariffs being imposed on imports and exports, to pensions, a whole range of areas that are going to be affected by brexit one way or another, but the impact of brexit on this country will be so much more severe if the uk leaves without a deal on the 29th of march. what the government have done as you heard, if they have looked at all of their existing laws, looked at the areas of cooperation that are currently

between ireland and its nearest geographical neighbour, the uk, and they have seen what they can do to try to ensure that things basically continue as normally as possible, if the uk, in mr coveney‘s rights, becomes a third country overnight, if there is a sudden no deal exit by the uk from the european union in 35 days‘ time. but there‘s no doubt about it, the impact of a no deal here in this country will be felt more greatly than in any other european country. there is no such thing, many people in government circles here, many people in the opposition here will say there is no such thing as a good brexit for ireland, even if there is a deal, ireland, even if there is a deal, ireland are still going to face massive challenges and if there is a no deal, you get a sense this morning that the challenges are going to be that much greater. this page, our ireland correspondent, in dublin, there. —— chris page. time for the weather, now.

dublin, there. —— chris page. time forthe weather, now. good morning, for many of us, and other mild and springlike day but we have some lingering i sulk in many places, drawing up a plume of warm airon places, drawing up a plume of warm air on southerly winds, helping to give the temperatures a boost. some of that fog will lift into low cloud and linger through the day, particularly for southern and eastern parts of england and hear the temperatures will be pegged back and it will feel quite disappointing. hazy spells of sunshine elsewhere, more clout for northern ireland and western scotla nd northern ireland and western scotland where it will be quite blustery, temperatures widely13—16 celsius and some spots could see 17 or 18. overnight, when strengthening for northern ireland and particularly the western isles where we could have gusts of 55 mph. like a wind elsewhere and clear skies. we will see the return of some low cloud, mist and fog through eastern england. not a particularly cold start to the day on saturday morning. we will see rain pushing eastwards through northern ireland into western scotland, western fringes of wales, down towards the south—west before the end of play.

elsewhere, another fine and south—west before the end of play. elsewhere, anotherfine and dry south—west before the end of play. elsewhere, another fine and dry day with lengthy spells of sunshine and temperatures well above average.
