tonight at 10pm: three years after brexit took effect, there's a new trading deal for northern ireland. the uk and the eu shake hands on a deal that's meant to allay any fears that northern ireland's place in the uk is weakened. british goods destined only for northern ireland will no longer need customs checks — they'll be using a new green lane. this means we have removed any sense of a border in the irish sea. it provides for long lasting solutions that both of us are confident will work for all people and businesses in northern ireland. we've been talking to business people in northern ireland, asking for their reaction to the new arrangements. and, we'll get the latest analysis

from our colleagues in brussels, at westminster and in belfast. we'll also be asking if this will be enough to satisfy the democratic unionists and to break the political deadlock in northern ireland. also tonight... the cap on household energy charges is being reduced, but bills are still going to rise in april. we'll be asking why that is. i think it is time that members of this house grew up. and, the woman who made history as the first female speaker of the commons, betty boothroyd, has died at the age of 93. and coming up on the bbc news channel. lionesses is boss sarina wiegmann is amongst the winners at the star—studded fifa best awards in paris.

good evening. three years after the united kingdom left the european union, rishi sunak says he's now resolved the major dispute over trading arrangements between great britain and northern ireland. the prime minister and the president of the european commission, ursula von der leyen, met at windsor today, where they declared a �*decisive breakthrough'. but how much of a breakthrough is it in reality? and will it be enough to break the political deadlock in northern ireland? this new deal is called the windsor framework and it involves creating green and red lanes for goods moving into northern ireland from britain. those goods destined only for northern ireland would use the green lane, with virtually no checks needed, so this controversial border in the irish sea would disappear. that is part of the plan. those goods destined

for the republic of ireland, in other words destined for the european union, would still have to be checked in the red lane. the northern ireland assembly would have the power to fend off changes to eu regulations. that is being called the stormont brake. the eu says it's for emergencies only. but the northern ireland assembly isn't even sitting right now, that's because the democratic unionists have withdrawn their cooperation because of these current trading arrangements. so, the real test here today is getting the support of those democratic unionsists, as well as a number of conservative mps, for the new deal. rishi sunak says that they will get a vote on the deal �*when appropriate�*. there is no date attached to it. we�*ll be looking at the windsor framework, we�*ll be asking if it�*s the "big breakthrough" and where it leaves the uk�*s relationship with the eu. let�*s start with our political editor, chris mason.

for months, negotiations have rumbled on in the undergrowth. finally, then, at a posh hotel near windsor, just outside london, in a spot with a keen sense of its place in british history, the stage is set. the prime minister welcomed the president of the european commission, ursula von der leyen. diplomatic niceties but personal warmth between the two that appeared genuine. a few hours later at windsor�*s guild hall, the announcement. windsor's guild hall, the announcement. ., . announcement. together we have it chan . e the announcement. together we have it change the original— announcement. together we have it change the original protocol- announcement. together we have it change the original protocol and - change the original protocol and today are announcing the new windsor framework. today�*s agreement delivers smooth flowing trade within the whole of the united kingdom, protects northern ireland�*s place in our union and to safeguard sovereignty for the people of northern ireland. find sovereignty for the people of northern ireland.— sovereignty for the people of northern ireland. �* . ~ ., , northern ireland. and take a listen to the european _

don�*t go back into government in northern ireland after all of this, does it ultimately amount to a failure? quite often we focus on the politics of situations, westminster and all the rest of it, but this is about the people of northern ireland, about the communities, about the businesses there. not exactly a direct answer. and then answer matters because the ultimate prize is the restoration of devolved government here at stormont in northern ireland. if that happens, there will be a first ministerfrom sinn fein for the first time. we minister from sinn fein for the first time-— minister from sinn fein for the first time. ~ ., ., , first time. we have always said it was possible _ first time. we have always said it was possible to _ first time. we have always said it was possible to have _ first time. we have always said it was possible to have a _ first time. we have always said it was possible to have a deal. - we�*ve always said that with pragmatism, solutions could be found. so the fact that both sides have arrived at that point today and this represents the end of the negotiation, i think is something that will be well received. tonight in the commons, the scene of so many brexit defeats and so many prime ministers recently, rishi sunak had a plan to sell, sceptics to persuade. sunak had a plan to sell, sceptics to persuade-— sunak had a plan to sell, sceptics to ersuade. ., , ., ., to persuade. now is the time to move forward as one _ to persuade. now is the time to move forward as one united _ to persuade. now is the time to move forward as one united kingdom. - to persuade. now is the time to move forward as one united kingdom. but l forward as one united kingdom. but the biggest question of all, what about northern ireland�*s democratic

and the head of the cbi, the uk�*s biggest business group, said the deal should help people in northern ireland stop feeling as though life �*has been on hold for the past couple of years�*. our ireland correspondent emma vardy reports. as political leaders chart a new course for trade between britain and northern ireland, business groups welcoming the new deal which they are hoping will end years of brexit tensions. i don�*t think any of 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 for others, the dual market advantage. something the new deal now protects. the northern ireland protocol has really allowed us to continue to operate as we were pre—brexit. while 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. one of the problems negotiators were trying to solve was suppliers in britain being put off from sending goods over the irish sea because of costly paperwork and checks. now the new deal promises to reduce these barriers for goods staying in northern ireland. if barriers for goods staying in northern ireland.— barriers for goods staying in northern ireland. , ., northern ireland. if there is enough friction removed _ northern ireland. if there is enough friction removed by _ northern ireland. if there is enough friction removed by the _ northern ireland. if there is enough friction removed by the new- northern ireland. if there is enough friction removed by the new green | friction removed by the new green lane, we should see some bounce back. if this removes enough friction, that bounce back will be almost within days and weeks. will almost within days and weeks. will that be the real test? it _ almost within days and weeks. will that be the real test? it will - that be the real test? it will be the real test. _ that be the real test? it will be the real test. that _ that be the real test? it will be the real test. that there is - the real test. that there is still some caution while _ the real test. that there is still - some caution while businesses look at the details of what the requirements will be to send goods through their new streamlined green lane. ., ., ., . ., lane. from the announcement what we reall need

what businesses make of the deal tonight is really only one part of the picture here because northern ireland has been without a government for a year, so the big political question here is, is there enoughin political question here is, is there enough in this deal to persuade the dup to go back into stormont? there were clearly parts of the prime minister�*s announcement today that the design to help the dup present this as a win. he was saying there is no more bordering the irish sea, that problems with getting things like sausages or parcels over the irish they have been resolved. but saying that, already tonight we have seen a few dup mps coming out saying their initial reaction is they are still sceptical. they don�*t know if this deal goes far enough. but the dup leader sirjeffrey donaldson hasn�*t beenjumping to dup leader sirjeffrey donaldson hasn�*t been jumping to any quick conclusions. he says the party is still going through the detail with a fine tooth comb. but the longer the dup reservesjudgment on a fine tooth comb. but the longer the dup reserves judgment on this, the dup reserves judgment on this, the more pressure the party may come under from

the more pressure the party may come underfrom business the more pressure the party may come under from business to support it. emma, many thanks for the latest at stormont. emma vardy. as we heard, the current post—brexit deal has had plenty of critics in northern ireland, who say the checks on goods between britain and northern ireland have made business much more difficult. others have been keen to point out that being in the eu single market for goods has meant much easier trade with the republic of ireland. our global trade correspondent dharshini david is here to explain how things work now — and how they�*re likely to change. thank you. these rules will make it simpler to take your pet from britain to belfast, and for those in northern ireland to order online shopping from the rest of the uk. but this new deal matters wherever you are in the country — it�*ll shape our future relationship with europe, and all ourfortunes. fundamentally, it�*ll streamline this process here, sending goods across the irish sea.

the good news in particular for those selling fresh foods — sausages, eggs, fruit from great britain, it will get easier. the current checks at irish ports and paperwork — dozens of forms sometimes — added costs and time, too onerous for some producers. in fact, two thirds of shoppers in northern ireland, according to one study, noticed smaller ranges and higher prices in shops. one cafe took smoothies off the menu because they couldn�*t get the ingredients. the new deal should help them, it should spell minimal formalities for the majority of british goods, those going via the green lane, destined to stay in northern ireland. the chairman of marks and spencer calls the deal "a big step forward, "solving the rubiks cube of the protocol". it should mean a smoother passage for the rest going via the red lane, where the sharing of trade data with the eu will also help. those goods, heading for the eu will still have to follow the blocs existing rules and standards. staying in that single market has helped some businesses in the province to trade with the rest of europe. the northern ireland economy may

have suffered a smaller hit, claims one study — equal to 0.7% of its income — than the uk as a whole. these new arrangements may help further. moreover, the warmer tone between the eu and the uk could help agreement in areas where our post—brexit arrangements are yet to be settled — financial services, the manufacture of electric vehicles for example — and iron out issues in our existing trade deal. and relationships. the relationship with president macron is good. 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 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 £1,000 per uk household. but before this plan becomes a reality, the government is looking for political backing — in this, the most bitterly contested part of the post—brexit agreement. many thanks. analysis there of what the current arrangements are and what they are likely to be. let�*s draw some things together now with our political editor, chris mason, at westminster. but first our europe editor katya

adler in brussels. the fact this deal has been agreed, and you will have looked closely at the chemistry between the two, does this tell us something more about the relationship now between the uk and the eu? the the relationship now between the uk and the eu? ., ., , , .,, and the eu? the relationship has definitely been _ and the eu? the relationship has definitely been affected - and the eu? the relationship has definitely been affected already. | definitely been affected already. the warm words at the press conference, dia rishi sunak, said the leader, and both of them talked about a new chapter in eu uk relations. what a contrast to those bilaterally bitter former brexit negotiations. of course the eu knows that rishi sunak is a brexiteer but they see him as an outward —looking pragmatist. working so closely together on northern ireland has done a lot to repair years of broken trust. looking at the bigger picture, relationships between the eu and uk have been normalising in the years since russia invaded ukraine. the two sides have cooperated closely on russia�*s sanctions and helping kyiv. today

the prime minister and european commission president to say that with better relations come better opportunities, working together on for example. on a deal on financial services. but what happens if the uk ultimately doesn�*t put this new northern ireland deal into practice? relations could sour pretty quickly. if the uk government goes back to a a threat to act unilaterally. a looming trade war with the eu, still our biggest trade partner, could be back on the table in the blink of an eye. back on the table in the blink of an e e. ~ . , back on the table in the blink of an e e. ., back on the table in the blink of an e e. ~ ., ,, ., back on the table in the blink of an ee. ~ ., ,, ., ., eye. many thanks. straight to westminster _ eye. many thanks. straight to westminster and _ eye. many thanks. straight to westminster and chris. - eye. many thanks. straight to westminster and chris. whatl eye. many thanks. straight to | westminster and chris. what is eye. many thanks. straight to - westminster and chris. what is your reading of the events today and what they might mean for rishi sunak and they might mean for rishi sunak and the government? it is they might mean for rishi sunak and the government?— the government? it is worth taking a ste back. the government? it is worth taking a step back. brexit _ the government? it is worth taking a step back. brexit will, _ the government? it is worth taking a step back. brexit will, for _ the government? it is worth taking a step back. brexit will, for many, - step back. brexit will, for many, always remain contentious. this new framework, as we learn to call it, is an acknowledgement of a fundamental truth. that is there is a different relationship still

between northern ireland, still part of the uk and european union, compared with the rest of the uk. tonight i can tell you that downing street are very happy with how this is going down. there has been a blanket of warm words in the house of commons from a former prime minister, from former ministers, from backbenchers who had previously been very sceptical about multiple concerns of government�*s attempts at delivering brexit. we still don�*t know yet because it is still early days precisely how that might break down in numerical terms. as i say, i think the prime minister will be relieved. we wait, though, the verdict of the democratic unionist party. a couple of their mps have explicitly said they aren�*t particularly comfortable. the leadership say, let�*s go away and take a look at it. if, and it remains an f, the prime minister can deliver this deal and deliver the return of power—sharing in northern ireland, that would be a huge political achievement. —— it remains

colletta smith explains. we don�*t need the heating running around with him! little rupert is keeping his mum and dad on the go, but keeping their pre—payment energy meter topped up hasn�*t been easy. the gas is just excruciating, isn�*t it? as soon as we put the heating on, we�*re on like £10 a day, which just isn�*t feasible at all — cannot afford that. despite both working full—time, vanessa and derek still went into emergency credit on their meter recently. it still took us into our overdraft. but needs must when you�*ve got kids in the house. everyone is trying to do the juggle. henry and william are getting good at this game, balancing the lights, the heating and the power plugs to keep everyone happy and the bills down. but at home, it�*s not a game for their mum. hot water bottles, electric blankets, more blankets and, i hate to say it, but we are relying on the wood burner to be able to keep on top of the bills that

keep going up and up and up. over recent months, the global prices of gas and electricity have actually gone down, which is why by april the regulator is lowering the price cap. but we won�*t end up paying less because at the moment we�*re not paying the whole bill. we�*ve been paying a lower level set by the government and they�*ve been paying the difference. but now, they want to pay less and for customers to cover more of each bill. so from april, they�*re increasing the rate we�*ll be charged. so now, a typical household�*s bill will go up from around £2,500 a year, to £3,000 a year — that�*s an increase of £500. this april�*s rise comes at exactly the same time that the extra payments of £66 per month to each household directly from the government, also stop. so the chancellor�*s under increasing pressure from opposition parties and charities not to raise the rate we all have to pay.

where are people going to get that money from? they�*re already stretched as it it is. so ijust don�*t understand how they�*re going to be able to pay it. for vanessa, it�*s frustrating. no, we're not saving at all. we're not as bad off as other people but we're still struggling. unless the chancellor can deliver a surprise at the budget in a couple of weeks time, we�*ll all be facing another energy bill increase for the year ahead. colletta smith, bbc news, in wallasey. now a look at some other stories making the news today. police in northern ireland have released cctv footage of the car they say was used by the gunmen who shot a senior police officer in omagh. the so—called new ira has claimed responsibility for the attack. the 44—year—old detective chief inspector remains critically ill in hospital.

"with a no—nonsense style". james landale looks back at her many achievements. 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�*s no answer to that". betty boothroyd was a formidable ringmaster, full of authority and wit, but with a steel that was forged in dewsbury, in yorkshire, and in london�*s west end, where she was for some years a professional dancer — one of the famous tiller girls. vote labour — vote boothroyd! but it was in politics that she found her real stage. showing again, that determination behind the charm. are you going to be voting for me tomorrow? i hope so. you hope so — so do i too, yes. with a cheery smile like that i�*m sure you are. she stood five times before winning a seat in a by—election in 1973.

it shows total disillusionment in ted heath and his tories and it�*s time they cleared out. as a member of the labour�*s national executive in the 1980s, she took on the party�*s hard left — dismissing them as head bangers, extremists and militants. but her popularity across all parties led to her being elected and ceremonially dragged to the speaker�*s chair. the first women — the first without a wig. i don�*t think i could work in a full bottom wig. if i turned my head one way, the wig would stay in place and i�*d be seen in profile. for eight years in the 1990s, she brought order to the commons amid tory decline and labour rise, always, she hoped firm but fair. and at all times she brought a steady hand to proceedings, until she retired to the house of lords, finding her voice again, opposing brexit and borisjohnson with equal vigour. but let�*s not beat around the euro—bush. the prime minister set the course

we�*re on and shows no remorse for steering it off course. i think she captured me there — a working woman and that�*s enough for me because that�*s what i am. thus, betty boothroyd — dancer, speaker, one—of—a—kind. time�*s up. cheers betty boothroyd, the former speaker of the commons, who�*s died at the age of 93. last night, many of you watching across britain will have been treated to this — the great sight of the northern lights. this was the sky above glen almond in perthshire. the light effect is caused by atoms and molecules colliding with particles from the sun. the green light is characteristic of oxygen, while purple, blue or pink are caused by nitrogen. usually, it�*s scotland and parts of northern england that get to enjoy the spectacle, but this time, areas much further south were treated, in shropshire, in kent, and in cornwall too.
