goodbye northern ireland protocol, hello windsor framework. the prime minister presents his new trade deal for northern ireland with the eu. standing alongside the head of the eu commission, rishi sunak hailed what he called a turning point and a decisive breakthrough. today's agreement delivers free flowing trade in the whole of the united kingdom, protects northern ireland's place in the united kingdom and protect sovereignty for the people of northern ireland. the new agreement would significantly reduce customs checks and still allow northern ireland a say in any new eu rules that affect it. a day of careful choreography. it was all smiles and warmth between the two leaders and a sense of relief too.
6:01 pm
but the prime minister now has to sell his deal and persuade the sceptics. will the so called windsor framework get the approval of unionists in northern ireland and what will it mean for future relations with the eu? also on the programme. why your energy bills are likely to go up from april despite the amount companies can charge households going down. i think it is time that members of this house grew up. tributes are paid to betty boothroyd who's died she broke 700 years of tradition to become the first female speaker of the house of commons. and what does this bout between two more famous on social media than in the ring mean for the future of boxing? and coming up on sport on the bbc news channel, all set for a grandstand finish in new zealand as jack leach gives england the chance of a historic win in wellington. but will it be the last cheap upgrade for some time?
6:02 pm
good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. historic, a breakthrough, a landmark the words of the prime minister and the head of the eu commission to describe a new agreement for trade between northern ireland and the eu. what has been known as the northern ireland protocol has proved bitterly contentious ever since it was introduced as part of borisjohnson�*s �*oven ready�* brexit deal would be no more. it would be replaced by the windsor framework, a new deal aiming to solve the current onerous trade barriers. untiltoday, under the northern ireland protocol, certain goods have to be checked when they enter northern ireland from great britain to ensure they conform. and goods can then travel freely onto the republic, which is in the eu, without extra checks. but critics say these rules mean northern ireland is treated differently from the rest of the uk.
6:03 pm
so what would the new windsor framework mean? goods from great britain that stay in northern ireland would pass through a green express lane with little or no additional checks. and goods from great britain going to the republic of ireland ie into the eu, will have to be checked northern irish businesses would no longer be subject to eu rules on vat but would fall into line with the rest of the uk. the northern ireland assembly would be able to block new eu rules from applying to their businesses under certain conditions a so called stormont brake. crucial to the success of this deal will be the backing of conservative mps and the democratic unionist party who've yet to decide. our political editor chris mason reports. four months negotiations have rumbled on in the undergrowth. finally, ten, at a posh hotel near windsorjust finally, ten, at a posh hotel near windsor just outside finally, ten, at a posh hotel near windsorjust outside london, and with the support of british history, the stage is set. mind you, not

6:08 pm
that has been helpful. i think the political instability, the lack of understanding about where is all this taking us is not good for business. for some businesses in northern ireland the protocol has meant mountains of new red tape, but others have benefited from a dual market advantage. the northern ireland protocol has really allowed us to continue to operate as we were pre—brexit. when the rest of the uk exited and indeed northern ireland did, the protocol provided a mechanism that allowed us to continue to trade freely with the rest of the european union and also with the uk, where many of our competitors who are based on the uk mainland don't have. but one of the big problems negotiators have tried to solve were would suppliers in britain be put off from sending goods over the irish sea as companies are hit by the extra time and costs involved to comply with the paperwork and checks?
6:09 pm
this haulage firm is one of many now waiting to see the detail in the new deal, and how far it will go in reducing those barriers. if there is enough friction removed by the new green lane, we should see some bounce back. if this removes enough friction we will bounce back almost within days and weeks. would that be the real test? that will be the real test. but there is cautiousness while businesses wait to see how cumbersome the requirements might be to send goods through the new streamlined green lane. from the announcement what we really need to see now is the detail around the deal. we need to understand how green the green lane actually is. do you think suppliers in gb will be reassured by this? remember, we will be asking gb traders to do things that they don't do for the rest of the uk. they don't have to be part of a trusted trader scheme for england, scotland or wales, so for a small amount of the market we will be asking them to join schemes, provide data, potentially be audited, for what is a small
6:10 pm
part of their market. so it is about how this works in practice? we live this, we operate this every single day right down to the last box. we need to know how it affects us, how it affects our customers. if businesses back the new deal it will strengthen rishi sunak�*s hand in facing down any critics. in the long brexitjourney today we have arrived at a new destination, but it may take time for the full picture to become clear. what businesses make of this deal is really only one part of the equation here because northern ireland has been without a government for a year and the question is, is there enough in this deal to persuade the dup to drop their opposition and go back into stormont? on the face of it there were parts of the announcement today designed to address the dup's and says, things like giving politicians here are a say over which eu laws will apply to them. on
6:11 pm
the other hand, the continuing role of the european court ofjustice will not go down so well, but the dup is not making any quick decision, they are going through the detail. they will have to weigh up whether their demands are met sufficiently to decide whether they can support this. others appreciate that being in the single market for goods has made trade easierfor single market for goods has made trade easier for ireland.— trade easier for ireland. the row surrounding _ trade easier for ireland. the row surrounding trade _ trade easier for ireland. the row surrounding trade on _ trade easier for ireland. the row surrounding trade on the - trade easier for ireland. the row surrounding trade on the island l trade easier for ireland. the row. surrounding trade on the island of ireland may not feel relevant to everyone in the uk, but this new deal may shape our future relationship with europe and all of our futures. fundamentally relationship with europe and all of ourfutures. fundamentally it relationship with europe and all of our futures. fundamentally it will streamline this process, sending goods across the irish sea. good news in particularfor
6:12 pm
goods across the irish sea. good news in particular for those selling fresh fruit, sausages, eggs, milk, from great britain. the current restrictions and checks at the borders and paperwork, dozens of forms, sometimes add a cost and time to enrol for some producers. in fact, two thirds of shoppers in northern ireland according to one study noticed smaller ranges in shops and higher prices when those products came in. with the new deal, it should spell minimal formalities for the majority of british goods going via the green line destined to stay in northern ireland. that should mean a smoother passage for the rest going via the red line, where the sharing of trade data with the eu will also help. those goods destined for the eu will have to follow still the block. existing laws and standards. but staying in that single market has made it easierfor some businesses in the province to trade with the rest of europe. the northern ireland economy
6:13 pm
may have suffered a smaller hit, claims one study, about 0.7% of its income, down the uk as a whole. the new arrangements may help. moreover, that warmer tone between the eu and the uk could help agreement in areas where our post—brexit arrangements are yet to be settled. financial service, for example, the manufacture of electric vehicles, and also perhaps even ironing out issues with our existing trade deals and relationships. the issues with our existing trade deals and relationships.— and relationships. the relationship with president _ and relationships. the relationship with president macron _ and relationships. the relationship with president macron is _ and relationships. the relationship with president macron is good. - the relationship with the germans is better than it used to be. that means firstly, that the european union felt able to make the sort of concessions it has in this deal on issues like state subsidies and vat. it means secondly, it will probably be easier to unlock other areas cooperation, like cooperation in research. and finally what i think it means is it will be easier for the uk and the eu to work together on key issues like ukraine. this framework could also
6:14 pm
remove uncertainty — one reason why economists reckon investment in the uk in equipment, factories, technology the red line here stalled after the referendum, making us less efficient than we could be. this grey line shows where investment could be if it grew at the same rate as before the referendum. the impact of that gap, could, a bank of england study claims, equal over £1000 per uk household. but first, the government needs political backing for this plan the most bitterly contested part of the post—brexit agreement. in a moment we'll talk to our political editor chris mason in windsor, but first let's join our europe editor katya adler in brussels katya, there was no mistaking the warmth of the atmosphere between rishi sunak and ursula von der leyen and an indication that is this agreement goes ahead, others are likely to follow. that is right, and i think relations
6:15 pm
have already changed, as you say. that chemistry between the two, the smiles, the wards, what a stark contrast to those bad—tempered brexit negotiations of old. we had both leaders today talking about a new chapter in eu, uk relations, and of course brussels knows how it works in the uk. it knows that before this new deal can actually be put into practice rishi sunak has the hard task of selling it back home. but working so closely in cooperation to try to amend this deal has gone a long way to rebuilding broken trust. the eu likes rishi sunak, they know he is a brexiteer, but they see him as an outward —looking pragmatist. so if this deal is implemented, what could be looking to warm those relations and bring to even closer? firstly, the idea of a trade war between the two site, that would be off the table. we saw those two leaders in their press conference today
6:16 pm
hurrying to say what other goodies might follow, so a new deal on financial services perhaps, perhaps on immigration as well, on scientific research, and the eu wants to work more closely with the uk on defence and security. russia's invasion of ukraine, the conundrum of how to handle china, it has been a reminder of the priorities of the two sides share. shill a reminder of the priorities of the two sides share.— a reminder of the priorities of the two sides share. all sounding rather ositive two sides share. all sounding rather positive from _ two sides share. all sounding rather positive from the _ two sides share. all sounding rather positive from the eu, _ two sides share. all sounding rather positive from the eu, but _ two sides share. all sounding rather positive from the eu, but the - two sides share. all sounding rather positive from the eu, but the key i positive from the eu, but the key thing now is this windsor framer, will that's absolute central political question — that's absolute central political question. you may have noticed in my report— question. you may have noticed in my report no— question. you may have noticed in my report no end — question. you may have noticed in my report no end of voices, falling over— report no end of voices, falling over themselves, to say how pleased they were _ over themselves, to say how pleased they were with the deal. but the real power tonight lies in the hands and minds — real power tonight lies in the hands and minds of those who are keeping their council, who are looking through— their council, who are looking through the detail, scrutinising for

6:19 pm
bills for a typical household to £3,280 a year in england, wales and scotland that's a cut of around £1,000. but it won't actually mean lower bills, because the government is reducing its financial support both to the energy companies and directly to us, the customers. so in fact, the typical annual household bill will go up by nearly £1,000, to £3,000, from april as our cost of living correspondent colletta smith explains. little rupert is keeping his mum and dad on the go about keeping their prepayment energy meter topped up hasn't been easy. it’s prepayment energy meter topped up hasn't been easy.— hasn't been easy. it's 'ust excruciating, isn't it? h hasn't been easy. it'sjust excruciating, isn't it? as. hasn't been easy. it'sjust - excruciating, isn't it? as soon as you put the heating on, it isn't feasible at all. i can't afford it. despite both working full—time, vanessa and derek went into emergency credit on their metre recently. emergency credit on their metre recentl . , , , ., �* recently. needs must, when you've

6:21 pm
year, to £3000 a year, an increase of £500. this april's rise comes and the same time that the extra payments of £66 per month to reach household directly from the government, also stop. so the chancellor is under increasing pressure from opposition parties and charities not to raise the rate we all have to pay. charities not to raise the rate we all have to pay-— charities not to raise the rate we all have to pay. where are people auoin to all have to pay. where are people going to get _ all have to pay. where are people going to get the _ all have to pay. where are people going to get the money _ all have to pay. where are people going to get the money from? - all have to pay. where are people - going to get the money from? they're already stretched. i don't understand how they'll be able to pat’- understand how they'll be able to la . ., understand how they'll be able to ta , ., ., , , , ., pay. for vanessa it is frustrating. we aren't saving _ pay. for vanessa it is frustrating. we aren't saving at _ pay. for vanessa it is frustrating. we aren't saving at all. _ pay. for vanessa it is frustrating. we aren't saving at all. we - pay. for vanessa it is frustrating. we aren't saving at all. we aren't as had _ we aren't saving at all. we aren't as had off— we aren't saving at all. we aren't as bad off as other people but we are still— as bad off as other people but we are still struggling.— are still struggling. unless the chancellor _ are still struggling. unless the chancellor can _ are still struggling. unless the chancellor can deliver - are still struggling. unless the chancellor can deliver a - are still struggling. unless the i chancellor can deliver a surprise are still struggling. unless the - chancellor can deliver a surprise in the budget in a couple of weeks' time we'll all be facing another energy bill increase for the year ahead. colette smith, bbc news.

tributes are being paid to betty boothroyd the first female speaker of the house of commons who's died at the age of 93. the current speaker, sir lindsay hoyle, described her as "inspirational". james landale looks back on her colourful life which began as a dancer in london's west end before she smashed 700 years of tradition at westminster. house must come to order! at times she was a referee. order! and others more of a nanny. i think it is time that members of this house grew up. but there was always a smile close by. as eric morcambe would say, there is no answer to that. betty boothroyd was a formidable ringmaster, full of authority and wit. but with a steel that was forged in dewsbury and in london's west end where she was for some years a professional dancer.

critically ill in hospital. a bbc panorama investigation has uncovered evidence that women are being misled and manipulated about abortion by some crisis pregnancy advice centres in the uk. the centres, which operate outside the nhs, say they offer support to women dealing with unplanned pregnancies. but the bbc found more than a third gave advice which could dissuade women from having abortions. contrary to nhs advice, several said abortion could increase the risk of breast cancer, infertility and mental health problems. divya talwar reports. emma was 23 when she found out she was pregnant. it was not planned. i was very much in shock and thought what am i going to do? she went to a crisis pregnancy advice centre in belfast called stanton healthcare. it says it offers counselling and accurate medical information to women with unplanned pregnancies. emma was six weeks' pregnant and could have had medication to induce an abortion but she says that is not
