5:02 pm
how to regulate trade with northern islands. now the european union and the u. k. have made a breakthrough. you commission president, also a funder lion, and you k prime minister minister wishes to next struck a draft agreement following high level talks near london sooner. caled, a new chapter and relations with brussels and fonder. lions said the new so called winds up framework protected the markets of both parties and supported stability light in northern ireland. let's hear more of what the british prime minister had to say. i b l, a decisive. together. we have changed the original protocol another day, announcing the winner, the framework. today's agree deliver smooth, boeing tre, within the united kingdom for normal either the place now union and safeguards, sovereignty for the peace of european commission. president said she was confident
5:03 pm
this agreement would work for all parties involved. this new framework will allow us to begin a new chapter. it provides for long lasting solutions that both of us are confident will work for all people and businesses in northern ireland. solutions that respond directly to the concerns they have raced. and let's get the view from london and brussels. now there correspondence big at mass and a jack parish big. let's start with you in london. there. there was smiles. all round there. what's in this deal? well, richie sooner can definitely be very happy because the e u has made for him quite a few concessions. and they have agreed for example, to have gree so called green and red lines. that means those products that go from the u. k. into northern ireland and that stay in northern ireland, there will be no checks and that reduces the barriers. the trade barriers between
5:04 pm
northern ireland and the rest of the u. k reduces them for quite a lot. so this is what these people in northern ireland who feel very strongly aligned to britain. this is what they really have been asking for. and now the e u has made a concession. it doesn't mean that it is all going to be plain sailing and you still has some sort of influence in northern ireland and some form of you loss will still be have to be applied. but definitely the e. u from a british point of view. um has been very nice to richie sooner and there were definitely a reason for him to smile. jackie are as big as just said lots of concessions there from the you side. how much, but how far did b e, you go to make this deal go through? well, i think when we look at this, what they've tried to do is just to pick hate the british government in the sense of these, these red and green lanes. this might sound like my new shy for a province northern ireland of less than 2000000 people. where, why is this such
5:05 pm
a big deal? but this is really all about the philosophy of keeping that border on the island of ireland. open between the republic of ireland that remains within the european union and northern ireland, which is big it saying wants to remain as close to the united kingdom in a regulatory fashion as possible. bearing in mind the good friday agreement, which prevented the troubles, you know that the violence was taking place in the ninety's and earlier and that's been the real concern over this. i think it was so interesting in that press conference between suna and von july, and they were so keen to express this kind of calmness now after many terrible years between the british government and the european union. all the mood music from the capitols. and here in brussels, the officials that i've been speaking to that have not been negotiating this deal over the last couple of weeks is that there is a complete shift between the 2. not government. and boris johnson's government on this, where they're trying to show that there is
5:06 pm
a new relationship possible. and that's exactly what the british prime minister said during that press conference. this is a new chapter in relations and the atmosphere was visibly different between those 2 leaders at that pressed as a day. so in know chapter deal has been struck, but it's not the end of the line for issues. so like he still needs to sell this deal to his party, big of why is that such a problem he needs to sell a due to his party and also he needs to sell the deal in northern ireland. and that's going to be very, very difficult. say on one hand, the mute music between london and brussels as very good as jack describe very well . but on the other hand, what does it actually mean for bell fast to it is not going to be easy to sell the steel in belfast because there will still be people and quite a significant amount of people who feel that there should be no involvement of the e u in northern ireland, whatsoever i speak to a source earlier today,
5:07 pm
a social worker and she feels very strongly british and she says, well, why are they? why do they have any say at all? she doesn't want that. and she thinks this is a unification. with ireland by the back door and then i, she's very, very worried about this and there is a significant amount of, of these in northern ireland who feel very british that did this still will be unacceptable. so richey soon right now has the really big task ahead to talk to those unionists in northern ireland and then to those in his own party who are very strongly aligned with the union is. and that's not going to be easy at all or jack big and hinted on that. is it fair to say that you have preferred working with russia sooner? absolutely, no question about it. and that was really visible in the press conference. i think another thing that was interesting is richie soon. i only talked about you lot never in the past conference that he mentioned,
5:08 pm
the word european court of justice. he left that to us to live on the line to say that for the european union, the court that is in charge of this deal. the final deciding court is the european court of justice. and she mentioned that it showed to me that there must have been some kind of choreography between those 2 leaders. very uncommon in breast conferences of previous years that we've watched over the time as, as big. it was saying he has to sell that he has to get it through. and soon i took this sort of tone of kind of school teacher. we're going to allow people that time to look through this. we understand this is about people that they need to look through it from a brussels perspective. all of the officials that i've been speaking to this morning and earlier today, i've basically said that this is the deal that's done. the prime minister has to get this through and that there is absolutely 0 desire among you capitals or here in brussels. to go back to the negotiating to a table to really now. this is time to the u. k. government to get through to w. jeff park and big mass reporting from raso then from london. thank you both very
