it and the other half and this is the rub off of them the prospect of a head it's in the kingdom at play while the hard to show that artists laws in this plan first despite writing to every tour d.m.p. to explain her novel tactics it may not be possible to hold her parliament tea party together in under three years as prime minister she already holds a record over in thirty ministerial resignations and. so will the tory party finally splinter breaks it. is the conservative prime minister who repeatedly told us that no deal is better than a bad deal now approaching labor m.p.'s to block a very jolly when you see the rubrics very well most economists servitude of m p's votes lawton chiles. the european union to do with the clean break presumably knowing that. the second problem with the prime minister's cutting plan is it

jeremy corbyn may be wise to the tactic and to cling to right to the government's rescue he may say why should i believe you i here today i'd go into mortal prime minister about to be the place by breaks a tear by the fall why don't hold an election no rather than after you've gone in the autumn. so let me ask you had she been the leader of the opposition and invited to the drug trial going this year would she have been fortunate to accept. so as to be her duty to resign or just back to the usual mabel it however whatever else may be said about me is latest move at least as a change in the script we've broken out at long last of the talk to a process of never ending thoughts on this theme deal now she wants the votes of the labor party to pass or withdraw all agreement as opposed to the votes of the big cities and the d p this may even be a relief to the m.p.'s who this week of being fixed to their benches with the same

superglue as a climate change protesters themselves to the glass in the visitors gallery. over here are. the prime minister clearly intends to be the last woman standing on bricks it before she finally keeps her promise to resign. want to tease amaze biggest miscalculations has been to underwrite the strength of the democratic unionist parties opposition to her backstop proposal despite its very clear articulation many times including on this very program when she pursued certain the stock market not going to go anywhere that's a question i'm asking the chill us and our civil servants to to listen to those are a values around her who thought we were bluffing they know no i we're not often but in this show we examine how the big city baby changing the fixed assumptions of northern irish politics but first your tweets mess just and even those we've had so many and a sponsor the wonderful young people we had on last week sure from belfast few want

to say is a great show the young people were smart articulate and above all decent i have every confidence in the future simply listening to them thanks alex now we bit wiser northern ireland and he's putting it says the future looks bright with these young students for the whole of ireland love your show alex martha says well said young ones times are a changing tommy said those youngsters are definitely tuned in to what's happening fantastic and finally tony says as a seventy year old living in the south those young people were amazing the future is in good times couldn't agree more tory now over to alex in belfast where parliament square in london was crowded with pro bright demonstrators last friday a demonstration of a very different crime was taking place nor moment communities were demonstrating against the threat of a hard border from the heart breaks that i spoke to john shared with them one of

the organizers of the protest. dr showed welcome to the exam and sure it's very much of it your farm let alone on the board and for minor tell me a bit about how how does your father meet the border when it was the best way to describe it is if you just imagine an eighty degree angle. and where we meet the border i am fairly at a ninety degree angle so it only leaves me i have only my only access to the north is about forty five degrees forty five degrees of a country that i was born and reared in and could always go three hundred sixty degrees in our country you know maybe my memory is playing tricks on me but i seem to remember june the b.s.e. crisis started years ago at a level in paisley making a speech where he declared that northern irish cattle irish and therefore could avoid the the export by the if of my method did you take that as a sign that perhaps economic imperative sometimes prevails over

a traditional attitude they always do they always do economic imperatives you know which is why we in northern ireland want to hold the economic status that we have at the moment on the island of ireland recently you met michel barnier the european negotiator the came to become to see the farmer all the bought up to be sure a keen understanding of the of the issues involved when he cam for a keen understanding we actually met him in the guild hall in derry he wanted purely to discourse with border communities and business people how it was going to affect them in the referee day lives and he insisted he says i have to represent the twenty seven i have to represent them legally and that's all i'm here to do legally he says so i don't want to hear anything about flags around i'm starvin to your ideology but tell me about the organization that you're a problem member off the bat just arises that as the situation developed as a spontaneous a grassroots organization for twenty twenty five years you know where was used to

dealing with people all along the border. knew many people and those people just came together after the referendum and said this is terrible because this is going to absolutely ruin our businesses and i think it's the fact that people along the border authentically realize the trading that goes on from north to south and back from south the north they have it's in their psyche it's in their blood in the early so they have a good perception of what it meant to leave europe if you could get just for the sake of argument if you get the six hundred fifty members of the house of commons up to your health and you had them assembled more or less like you assemble your sheet for would you be said i just may keep them corralled there for as long as i could and and bring a doctor to see them i think that they haven't they certainly weren't thinking of the border and the certainly weren't thinking of northern ireland when they were having a referendum we had responded i had received i spoke to him very very close to the

farm and showed him to communities we stood looking down on the villages of black lion boku and i told him he was just putting a sledgehammer between the two of them and if he's at them he'd be very polite because he always says to us we bought a lady on our star and it's late and articulate but his business isn't going to the wall he can move his business he can even tell the people really hard as he already has i know that i'm making a lot of money both himself personally and for us companies. but the audacity to turn round and united kingdom people that could be fifty years before they would have the theoretical grip britain or united kingdom that they hope to have mediately withdrawing from europe he knows well enough i like that that's not true . so you know it's people who look at him and just feel that the far right has gone too far do you think. the debate over the us to now years is

changing the undergrowth of northern irish politics you know we've had to fix blocks. for a long time is it changing people's perception to opening up the constitutional question over there that out there that people know even though a lot of people don't want to put their head above the parapet but people know where they make their money they know where their progression comes from i wouldn't see the border community against drugs that are just an underground thing and affecting how it affects our daily lives we look much waiter out of the not were plenty of people are asked beginning to ask exactly which union you want to belong to the united kingdom of the european union one we are all going to be. a settlement there always is with despite the confusion and despite the best efforts of politicians are you confident that the case that border community is ability to collating will will win for well as you say there's always been

a status went the way we look at it is that we want to remain a mic the backstop i suppose is the best of a bad lot and we hope to still plenty in that backstop where it is. i think that europe won't move on its legalities of it have been properly explained europe i know do not want to get into the constitutional business of united kingdom. but they also have to protect their single market and they also have to protect their customs union and the only way that can be done on the island of ireland is to make sure that the regulatory law in which is already there on the scene at the ports is held and intensified the fact that maybe only three percent checks would be taking place now and i'd say they're looking at maybe an eighty percent check so people simply cannot believe

why the backstop can't be accepted they're having met michel badly the european negotiator the euro europe lifestyle farmer you used the negotiation could you have done business with them yes i could i think that i think the westminster. needs a few michel barnier is amongst of the six hundred fifty members. it's unbelievable to call yourself the fifth largest country in the world and for the last two and a half or may as well call it three years no nearly i like this still have not been able to hammer out. a trade deal. with the biggest consumer bloc in the world a lot of people don't realize how little it was costing to stay in it in billion wasn't it in believe me it was ten half don't realize erasmus schemes the

don't realize the integration on security they don't realize the integration in the economy on health on research on education all those things i don't think of ever being properly articulated to the general public know if bragg's is such a good thing why are six hundred fifty employees in such chaos if it was such a good thing whiteland to just go obviously the must know something that we don't and i think they have a response. ability to watch and properly articulate to the people exactly what they're doing upon themselves and what's likely to happen in the future i don't agree to put it well he says i think the realities of the present day i'm starting to catch up with the theory of the opportunism after breaks and a dog will have to look what i do know i kind of government here i dislike him but

what i can see him externally seeing michelle bodley this is a quick loving cup scotch whiskey odalisque whiskey no french brandy none of this stuff only scotch and liquid gold but good it's one of these red lines it. thanks very much i'd like to get thanks very much i'll treasure that joined us after the break when alex speaks to keep players in the northern irish economy. desperate for a single purpose. they have a superman. they start training very young. eight months of intensive school. rats. and they save lives.

young elephants have come to us. especially brutal budging incidents because you so often do you see them as being killed but also because. i do believe the elephant smile i see it's only someone. so expressive. welcome back one of northern islands most successful entrepreneurs in the

hospitality industry recently made his first ever intervention into the political debate of the province. dr bill will see why bedsit was bringing people from off the sidelines and on to the pitch but was lee welcome to the exam ritual delighted to be here. you have someone very prominent successful business person or belfast and elsewhere but you're somebody who wasn't too said much about plot politics but recently you've been putting your head above the part of what is moved to make some political statements absolutely i do not want to return then the the dark days so the border i have you know the thought of that coming back fills me with fear we need to do what's best for northern ireland we need to do much best for our economy and if we have a strong economy that should not just be for the business class that should be for the good of all the people of this province. a large number of people are kept well

away from politics and perhaps under the stars some people argue that segments of the middle classes people who normally would be leading or drawing political parties been a vast to get involved in politics do you think blacks are changing or yeah i mean the say in the back in one thousand nine hundred plus want to play golf and never returned as probably true fact in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight anyone to give it any degree of thought knew that compromise was the way forward but we had politicians who put simple answers to complicated questions one was pretty true and the other birds bred it and they were very simple answers to their communities anyone who thought about it knew that there was a horrendous sectarian dirty little war going on and they decided the best thing to do was keep their head down and try to build

a business many people would argue that the backstop deal is that. and taters potentially for normal but the prime minister seems incapable of getting an argument across officially persuasively so. serious danger despite overwhelming opinion you'll find unrepresented and cries unanswered. there is not only a great danger i think that's exactly what will happen but both are major political parties are way dime by the past the day you pay. i mean have never liked anything about europe and entrust only social and fear. of never been european they've been that lately they've come on board because they say that it gives them some political advantages but i fear that the day you pay will stick to their possession and share in fear in harvard an opportunity they should've in my humble

view they should have got the. piece together they say they're the party for all arrant and so they're the only party that sets both sides of the border they had an opportunity to go over and make a point and then pulled back for other things changing behind the scenes i mean the changes were seamen normally supportive of the d.p. supplanting traditional unionism sion fein supplanted with the opi we've been often the blogs but couple circumstances capable of picking people think the balls particularly if we are peoples bottom line and live a hooter's for this is actually a way to to energize a bit of creative thinking people who no longer associate themselves with any religion there are a lot of people like that you know from the low forty's and there they have just turned their back on the whole political situation they have no interest in

politics at all they feel there's nobody there the represent them. so that leaves the supporters of the two blocks shin feehan under the pay and they both suck the life blood out of the two smaller parties that you mentioned and pretty much adopted their clothes and they sit there and i'd i don't think they are any either party wants to accommodate the other the whole brags that thing i think has made the day you pay particularly think twice they saw themselves as the party of business and here is business and you're not representing us you have no understanding of what will be better for us and in turn be better for for the community and i think that has made the day you piece sit up and take notice but they are not a part they used to make a new turns are quick changes it's just not within their or their whole makeup and

then cynthia and they just set the whole thing they just say year these are huge changes we must get in here and get involved but they won't. they want to turn parliament they leave those seats empty and they're just going to make the boost the most of a tricky situation the bill if you could get all six hundred fifty members of the westminster parliament to one of your top class with tails for a week and you had the more kupchak there or would you be saying to them don't come i do this room and tell you you have brought together some sort of compromise that represents all the people of the u.k. and absolutely pick up your bloody bill in the way it. well was with q so what. i'm going to put forth all the i'm presuming to come up with the quick the scots go

if a loving cup thank you very much give me quick moment. just scot discover. thank you very much thanks again. the trends that bill wall slee has identified started to be picked up in polling a recent survey assured in deep dissatisfaction with the brics a process with an increasing majority for remain across the province backing for the new board of poll and irish unity is approaching party with opposition with a significant twenty two percent of protestant photos expressing support for such a referendum the polling shows opposition to united ireland the only forty five percent still fifteen percent ahead of support but with more than twenty percent undecided and among young people the gotten out of his father of support for ai this unity within touching distance of the opposition twenty years of peace brought the dividend and border communities nearly was once the economic black spot of the

entire province know the economy is flushing i spoke to dr kahn of part of a director of enterprise northern ireland and one of the key figures leading this change dot com a partisan welcome to the salmon show thank you you've been instrumental many of the development initiatives a mile and but it when you see in the border the area that didn't do it was substantial success do you attribute that to the the good will the sort of after the peace agreement all of a b. in other aspects been instrumental in getting that economy moving and the kids have nuri were i grew up in the first half of my life. the experience i had i grew up in a housing stamp my father was on employed was one of widespread spread poverty and thirty percent of the population and the one nine hundred seventy s. were without it without work. employment in your area is two percent so it's

a remarkable transformation not a threat be able to a foreign direct investment or public sector employment in the case of noori but the home grown old printer nurse who are able to take advantage of an open border and i know there are businesses poets can get in the way of the economic development. politics often kind of create an economic so much but the consent to get in the way of breaks that could well get in the way of the success you've been enjoying in u.t. the problem of bragg's and i it makes national a down to the decision the house to be made it choose to be there are a share bradish whichever choice you make consequences but will the choices change many people who perhaps are the interested deliberately so whether to keep a poet it's own course or perhaps came from a woman seeking for me you know. the price of that's not the fret in the bottom line. the sort of thing that shifts that i think what i and all others have been

trying to say at the people in the unionist community is don't think of your irish dimension as being you know something that house to be limited if you're expressing an irish an issue also expressing a european identity and if you could get the six hundred fifty members and i was the colemans to newly i'm sure all of them unemployment to four percent on economy which has been transformed over the last generation and. nobody wants to put risk what would be the key point you would have you would make to the assembly of parliamentarians who unexpectedly the said upon your i think yes prescription was not to be torah bowl nationalise you know to respect the opportunity that people are giving you in all their jurisdictions and offer the best of what you have so it's about collaboration and sharing i would say at a. he's in the house of commons you know you don't have to assert your british mis

people yeah but you have a lot of self par you know widely loathed for all of your you're lying your language you're not there to hear your music the example that you have given to the world in so many respects lotsa enough to be getting almost you know you can conquer the world without without having to a start so nineteenth century and period. historical model that's no longer going to be accepted. in the field of economic forecasting you know if i was asked to you know to make a political what do you think the end game of this breaks to be is going to be and the way i think this was an actual or says i'm that was all was going to have to hop on. the board of view of a narrow group. a reaches of british society the elites. those

that continue to make money out of brags that caylus but ultimately they're going to roll into the buffers but i cound say bragg's it can save them so we the british population without explanation i can see that succeeding the next generation after too good to be to these these ideals of sovereignty against i think well it might be the last some men before i came here was speaking to a group of primary seven kids and you're about the last and from the force of my life known as the throw balls. they all understand and we've all learned a lesson to respect the all or. whatever we do whatever disagreements we have we don't turn to violence because violence is ultimately self destructive so if we've learned our lesson and we hear. why there are threats from one. section of the population here i don't think that group can survive so will not last and i thing.

well apply spraggs it and people will have learned that there's nothing wrong in paying bradish europe and you don't have to be exclusively british so how x m of a certain age and i am of the star trak generation and i believe in the starship enterprise ok that captain car could be on the bridge but without a spark of that as you heard of that is check off. the starship enterprise could not have gone boldly to strange new new war those dots the model that i grew up with you know we're human beings and ultimately we will conquer the challenges we face but only if we do it well don't count out of sun don't forget to that's why we have plenty of good is a quick and the only stipulation of course in presenting you with it is only school in the cli of course i think you spend a pleasure on pleasure so i can thank you well here in east belfast this wallace piece small and the short stop in separates

a catholic on glee from the predominantly protestant community is a harsh reminder that by leo's in the island doing just potentially exist between north and south but within communities even here and now and i was great to city have a marshall we've had the economic realities frew the breaks debate starting to bring about a change in attitudes a potential political realignment the question is is the leadership here in order to make that realignment a reality and will it be entirely to secure nonviolence peace and prosperity. i know from being on myself and all of the shore it's good bye for tomorrow.

in the politics of this ins and the what's in the hollywood movie because hollywood movies you do not know what the next step on the major development because it is just like. that's a must but the. element of palm idea like the field comedian even alexa and you have. a lot of developments which would not be possible to have in hollywood movies because this is why politics is so interesting to. us veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either they're already several generations of them so i just got

this memo from a certain french officer says we're going to attack and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with their money others with lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war and surely we can risk some just come for an easy way for.

four hundred deal is a done deal and we will not step. back and washington after to. cancel his purchase of the russian missile defense system as nato outlined new measures to moscow. a un expert says atrocities are on the rise in the west african country of mali with ethnic communities being massacred despite a french an us troop presence. and the rights activist bogdan played by slamming western women who wear the headscarf when visiting a wrong for supporting a discriminatory law on that debate and. i think it.
