senior minister lives in northern ireland, but i'm thinking of its place in history and what the careen d -- queen has done there that's been significant for the northern peace in ireland. when that peace agreement was made in 1998, there were big and significant changes that were made here to sort of lose some of the sort of royal overtones, the police service became the police service of northern ireland, and for some of those serving offices, that was tough. they're deeply and intensely loyal to the crown. so what happened the queen came over to northern ireland, she presented the cross to -- who had lost his legs in an ira bombing. this was a medal given by the queen, the highest award she could give as respect for their sentiment that they were now changing their name to a more neutral, less royal name that could perhaps be felt by both parts of the community here to serve both parts of the community. hillsborough castle was the venue for that. the queen was the person that gave this award. and i think that symbolizes the importance of hillsborough castle, the importance of the rol

the unionists of northern ireland. all one of my workmates turning to me and saying, just excited to be whicpart of ireland do we own? for a london laborer to askou that, it tells you about the perception of english people -- the loyalty has never been reciprocated by the british people. good evidence in historical records that reddish politicians weren't really concerned of bringing northern ireland with them so the unionists should believe themselves as part of the united kingdom and -- loyalty to the british monarchy, they must be in a state of confusion. fear would be putting it too strongly. [indiscernible] as british unionists in the future as we move to cotitution talks. juan i wanted to ask you about jas connolly w an irish republan socialist and tra ion lear over 100 years ago back in 1911, he wrote a piece titled "the british monarchy is an affront to decracy." what is your view in terms of the monarchy itself and the possibilities that being raised now for the first time to consider ending the monarchy? >> we

as your queen, i am now even more closely concerned with the affairs of northern ireland. there was conflict between nationalists who believed the island of ireland should be one independent country and unionists who were loyal to the british crown. on one visit, her motorcade was attacked in belfast when a concrete block was dropped onto the bonnet of her car. during the troubles, the violence touched the queen's own family in 1979, when lord mountbatten, her cousin, was murdered by the ira in ireland when a bomb was detonated on their boat. but as the peace process gathered momentum, the queen herself took part in symbolic moments of change. there was a historic handshake between her majesty and martin mcguinness, himself a former commander of the ira, the paramilitary group that had carried out many of the violent attacks during the troubles, including on her own family. the handshake with martin mcguinness was a clear indication that that conflict was over, and that was something that meant a lot to people like me who had stood against violence over many, many years, b

that when we talk about the good friday agreement, when we talk about what's been achieved in northern irelandnishment, almost an elimination of the border between ireland and northern ireland. the the right to self-determination in northern ireland, the birthright to identify yourself as irish, british or both, the manifestation of that is, if you are identifying yourself as irish, you're an irish citizen. ireland is part of the eu. brexit can do anything to change that. the belfast agreement is not an internal agreement. it's an international agreement, filed with the united nations and defensible within the context of the international law. >> representative bowman if you could which you like to hear from mr. thompson, with his opening remarks? does your schedule and allow -- >> absolutely. thank you, mr. chairman. my schedule does allow. i have time. this has been great, thank you so much for having it. yes i will hang around for a while. >> thank you so much. mr. thompson, you will be the benefit of all of the prior comments i guess. i want to thank you for being part of this and it just

as your queen, i am now even more closely concerned with the affairs of northern ireland. ho believe the island of ireland should be one independent country and unionists who are loyal to the british crown. on one visit, her motorcade was attacked in belfast when a concrete block was dropped on to the bonnet of her car. during the troubles, the violence touched the queen's own family in 1979, when lord mountbatten, her cousin was murdered by the ira in ireland when a bomb was detonated on their boat. but as the peace process gathered momentum, the queen herself took part in symbolic moments of change. there was a historic handshake between her majesty and martin mcguinness, himself a former commander of the ira, the paramilitary group that had carried out many of the violent attacks during the troubles, including on her own family. the handshake with martin mcguinness was a clear indication that that conflict was over and that was something that meant a lot to people like me who had stood against violence over many, many years, but that handshake, and basically, clearly sai

there are good things happening in northern ireland.hese issues, these are the ones that are the hardest to solve. certainly they weren't factored in in 1998. and subsequent comes to do that right from bradley to the present day have not gone very far. >> if you wanted to follow that up. >> it's just picking up on the representative cicilline's question. there's been attempts to address the legacy of the past. there is unity between all political parties in the irish government, and the other parties in britain, by the conservative party. the best way forward is the stomont agreement. they all the executive parties in the north, the crux of the matter is that the legacy of the past is not a devolved matter to a devolved government in belfast. it's retained particularly and deliberately by the uk government. it's shield itself from any examination of the past. the context of the parties in the north of ireland had the ability to move forward and implement their own legislation, they would've done it longer. the blockage is the uk. and it

that when we talk about the good friday agreement, and we talk about what's been achieved in northern ireland, an almost elimination of the border between ireland and northern ireland. so the right to self determination in northern ireland, the birthright to identify yourself as irish, british orbit, the manifestation of that is if you identify yourself as our. you are in our citizen. ireland is part of the. and brexit can't do anything to change that. the belfast agreement is not an internal agreement, it's an international agreement, a treaty filed with the united nations, defensible within the context of international. thank you, mister chairman. >> thank you, representative. representative bowman, if you could, would you like to hear from mr. thompson and his opening remarks? or does your scheduling allow this? >> absolutely, good morning, everyone, thank you, mister chairman, for putting this together. my schedule allows the time. this has been really great, thank you so much for having it yes, i will hang around for a while. >> thank you so much. finally, mr. thompson, with the benefit

he didn't say northern ireland. he didn't say ireland. he said this place.do you see yourself as part of the united kingdom or do you see yourself as part of ireland? he went on to say, as we mense mentioned here in this discussion, the queen's important role of bringing together those who history have separated. now to the pro united ireland part of the community here, that might almost sound as a tip of the hat towards unitedwords des people together but not to foend either side and i think that is the significance of what he was trying to achieve here. of appealing to everyone. and i think very significant, again, that you have alex masky, a political organization, a post the monarchy whose para militaries were responsible for killing king charles's great uncle mountbatten and it represents how far people have poved on and the king emphasized however needs to be done. >> we saw alex masky saying i can't believe that i'm really here. but he was. what an important moment where every word, almost every syllable matters so much. all of you, please stand by, t

northern ireland was divided along sectarian land lines, and catholic nationalists were watching northern become one country as the protestant unionist to favor northern island -- the catholics remained in northern island faced discrimination on parrot treatment by law enforcement. they were treated the second class citizens. most of the -- world by protestant unionists, many refused to hire catholics. partisans were often given preference when it came to housing. and northern ireland education system was segregated along religious lines. this conflict sparked an explosive era of deadly political violence from the late 1960s through the 1990s. it was known as the troubles, a time that was fraught with car bombs, rights and revenge killings across northern ireland. british troops were called in only to make matters worse. an estimated 3600 people were killed and 30,000 in georgia during those three decades of strife. a solution came in 1998 with american help and the signing of the so-called good friday agreement. the deal establish a new government for northern ireland representing both p

, what does the king's visit mean for northern ireland? >> reporter: it means an awful lot to me people in different ways. it is an important visit. the king want wanting to visit all the countries of his united kingdom before he lays his mother, the queen to rest. but northern ireland, as you know well, jose, its history, its violent history is fraught. and the british monarch is mixed up with that. you think about bloody sunday. the best of catholics in 1972 at the hands of british military. you think about that charles lost his uncle to an ira bomb on a boat there in northern ireland. and then that moment that people may remember back in 2012 when the queen shook the hands of martin mcginnis from the ira. that moment of reconciliation. and that is some of the thoughts that people will have in their mind as they look at these pictures. this community service trying to bring the community together. those pictures of people cheering and shouting god save the king, not everybody in northern ireland will share that sentiment. not everybody w

inside, there was no disguising the tensions that still prevail here and which have suspended the northern irelandembly. as dignitaries waited in the throne room, subdued, quiet, the king greeted northern -- greeted northern ireland's leaders. >> had a great role here in terms of reconciliation. >> those sentiments we echoed more formally in an event that would once have been inconceivable here. >> during this period of public morning -- >> in the throne room, the speaker of the northern hireling -- northern ireland's assembly addressed the king with these words. >> queen elizabeth was not a distant observer. she personally demonstrated how individual acts of positive leadership can help break down barriers and encourage reconciliation. queen elizabeth showed that a small but significant gesture -- a visit, handshake, crossing the street, or speaking a few words of irish -- can make a huge difference in changing attitudes and building relationships. >> in reply, the king said he would follow what he called his mother's shining examp. >> she never ceased to pray for the best of times for this place

our special correspondent sent this report. >> it is his 40th visit to northern ireland, so he knows village well, but this is the first time his car has flown the royastandard of the sovereign. the warmth of the public welcome was unmistakable. this is what this tour of the nations is for -- direct engagement, informal and relaxed, between the new monarch and the people. th lingered, devoting more time to this. his late mother remarked that she had to be seen to be believed. public visibility is already a hallmark of the new rain -- the new reign. this a gesture of gratitude for the flowers left for the queen. the royal residence at hillsboro has been at the heart of reddish and irish affairs for centuries. as they entered for the first time as king and queen consort, the artillery fired a 21-gun salute. but inside, there was no disguising the tensions that still prevail here and which have suspended the northern ireland assembly. as dignitaries waited in the throne room, subdued, quiet, the king greeted northern -- greeted northern ireland's leaders. >> had a great role here in ter

[laughter] i do not know what the issue is. i do not know what the issue is. rushanara ali: thank you, mr. speaker. can i also congratulate the prime minister on her appointment. inflation is at a 40-year high; the nhs is on its knees

there's a lot of activity now in northern ireland because that's where king charles just left a service that concluded, and he spent a little time shaking hands but now is on his way home. charles was greeted earlier by thousands of mourners there before the body of his mother, queen elizabeth ii will return from london to scotland and tonight will be at buckingham palace. and the king's visit is a reminder of the history in the region marched by the violent sectarian conflict between loyalists and irish nationalists known as the troubles. and embodied by the 2012 photo of elizabeth shaking hands with the deputy first minister, a former commander in the irish republican army, the group responsible for assassinating her cousin in 1979. it was an event that rocked the royal family. that is the challenging historical context charles finds himself in as monarch, and the question now looming over his reign, what does the future of the region look like under his rule? any moment now, king charles and queen consort camilla will be heading to the airport to leave belfast to return here to londo

the source of tension is the northern ireland protocol comedy brexit trading arrangements for northernn the land border between northern ireland and the irish republic. under president biden, washington has made it clear that it believes that the priority has to be preventing any need for checks on back land border, and there has been plenty of talk, on both sides of the atlantic, about the need to protect the good friday peace agreement, which largely ended the conflict here in northern ireland in 1998, but there are perhaps differing interpretations as to what that means. britain including liz truss and chris heaton—harris, the new northern ireland secretary, emphasising that the balance between the communities here has been disrupted by the protocol in that unionists view the protocol as an economic border within their own country, something that undermines northern ireland's place in the union, whereas in washington, more of an emphasis on avoiding any new barriers, any new littoral barriers, checkpoints, on the island of ireland. so, we can certainly see there is tension playing o

sinn fein is now the biggest party in northern ireland. >> it is separate, the queen from the symbolismmonarchy, which as far as replicants are concerned is associated with imperialism, colonialism, and ruling ireland for centuries. however, they were able to develop a relationship with the queen. now, whether that will continue with the new king is another matter. reporter: king charles may have popularity. this is his 40th visit here, the first as monarch. he has pledged to follow in his mother's footsteps and seek the welfare of all the people in northern ireland. his relations with both sides of the divide here is one of the first big tests. andrew simmons, al jazeera, belfast. ♪ >> the u.n., u.s., and the you have called for de-escalation after fighting overnight between armenia and azerbaijan. russia's president also appeals for calm. the prime minister of armenia says 49 of his soldiers were killed along the shared border, while azerbaijan says it lost 50 troops. this is the worst escalation of hostilities since the 2020 conflict in the dispute -- and the dispute in the region. w

one of unity for northern ireland. yes, very conciliatory, indeed. and in fact, those condolences were red up by alex mosby. he is a shin fein, a politician. the speaker of the northern ireland assembly are quite extraordinary, really because he used to be a really fiery republican back in the eighty's ninety's. and there he is. now, speaking words of condolence to the king, king charles the 3rd king. chelsea actually say that he referred to his mother's being or feeling the significance of her role in bringing together those who history had separated. those were her words, by his words about her actions over the years in which she's come to northern ireland. for $22.00 visits in total, most of them are after the conflict here, which last to 30 years. also king charles referred to the sorrows of our family, a clear reference there, sir. when he was a young prince back in 1979. his favorite uncle, very, very close to lord louis. mild baton, was killed in an i r. re a bombing on a boat or just off the shore of county mayo, a fishing boat, 2 others died

in northern ireland, if you say northern ireland, then that implies you're pro british. if you're pro united ireland, you would say the north of ireland. so the king choosing his words so carefully. he talked about the pain felt by those who felt separated by his history, that his mother worked to overcome that, of course, a reference to the fact that northern ireland was carved off from the rest of ireland. so speaking across all communities here. and the support and love for the monarchy on display here, particularly by the row pro-british here, who were here outside saint ann's cathedral, who the king waved to, came out and shook their hands afterwards, all these details are details that would have been worked out in advance. again, reflecting on what we've seen in northern ireland today, it's been the words so well choreographed, john. >> that's remarkable as well, so many remarkable elements to this as we say farewell to britain's longest reigning monarch, getting a hello, introduction to the new king at the same time and the delicate diplomacy he faces as we watch

if we cannot reach a negotiated settlement with the eu to make the passage of goods between northern ireland and ireland smoother than it is now. there's lots of disruption to communities. they can't get the goods and medicine in northern ireland they need. the government needs to sort this out. >> there are a lot of challenges the prime minister faces, including economic ones, in large part, because of russia's war on ukraine. do you see political risk to the alliance in the months ahead? >> no, i think the alliance -- the nato alliance has shown it is stronger than ever. there has been a remarkably united response to president putin's invasion. the same is true of the transatlantic relationship between europe as a whole and the united states more broadly. leaders will be able to get together in the forthcoming u.n. general assembly, where i think you'll see more outpourings of support for ukraine. there's no doubt there is a cost of living crisis. that's not unique to britain. we have introduced measures around energy bills and energy prices to try and help ordinary households. and the cha

all of northern ireland is one of division. and the good friday agreement from nearly 25 years ago brought a power sharing agreement, which is shakia times. but nevertheless, it holds pieced together. so what today is about isn't just remembering the queen and welcoming the new king. it's about actually bringing people together. this church behind me, the cathedral of saint hands, a church of ireland, which is an all island church and has significance because it may be protestant is there is a high church sector to in a linked to the roman catholic church that has to be one box now won't think about it. i think charles, this is his 40, is it t northern ireland? the 1st obviously as well, but i am in the 2015 is sure the hands are all from jerry evans, president of champagne at the time. a man i rumored to have been a member of the aisle re army counselor, and that was really quite a lot of speculation on bad manners passed. he was involved with support and violence throughout supporting violence, but in the end, a man of the pe

nic robertson joins us from belfast, northern ireland. tell us how the new king is being received there. >> reporter: oh, very positively. very warmly. before he went into hillsborough castle, viewing the flowers laid out for the queen consort and the crowd there. there is a growing crowd here outside of st. ann's cathedral. we're seen hundreds of people, community and religious leaders headed into the cathedral for the service that should begin within the next hour or so. but i think perhaps some of the most significant moments were those inside of hillsborough castle where the pro-united ireland anti-monarchy if you will, speaker of the northern island assembly gave a speech to the new king where he talked about the healing that the queen had brought to the country. the importance of her handshake with former para military leaders, the importance of moments when she had spoken in irish. and king charles, for his part, his speech very carefully tailored to a very broad audience here. speaking about the way his mother tried to work to bri

the deep blue and green colours show that parts of northern ireland and southwest scotland could seehich could cause some disruption. so, spells of heavy, thundery rain, always wettest in the west, and it will often be quite windy — dare i say it will feel quite autumnal. so, as we go through this evening and tonight, we'll see heavy rain developing across parts of northern ireland and southwest scotland, this rain becoming quite persistent. some rain into west wales, southwest of england, the odd shower elsewhere. some dry weather, some clear spells, but it will be a pretty mild night — 13—16 degrees. then, into tomorrow, a soggy start for much of northern ireland, that rain getting into southwest scotland at times also perhaps into west wales and the far southwest of england. the odd sharp shower is likely to break out through northern england, parts of the midlands, east anglia, down to the southeast. could be some flashes of lightning, some rumbles of thunder contained within those hit—and—miss showers with spells of sunshine in between. highs of 2a for london, butjust 16 in belf

and of course, that distinction about the northern ireland goes like this. there's a division politically, ethnically, religiously, in this country. it's a quarter of a century since there was peace after the 30 year conflict. and then, of course, a whole series of attempts to heal the divisions. and now the royal family were involved in that the queen especially shaking hands with martin mcguinness, a former i r a leader back in 2012. that made a massive difference to the way britain del with ireland, the commitments by republicans to actually stay peaceful and then develop and now an extraordinary political development. we have our, the shin fame, which was once the political wing of the ira and the biggest party and it's vice president. and now the 1st minister designate here, now she originally st. condolences. she's wearing back black when she actually made those condolences and the speech in support of the royalty and what they've done for northern ireland. many disbelieving such words after the roll sion fame played back in the so called troubles, but

showers are possible in scotland and northern ireland. it gets windy in northern ireland.ndy in northern ireland in particular scotland with gales northern ireland in particular scotland with gates in the north—west and temperatures similar to today. the rain by the time we get to monday morning is in the english channel sweeping through quickly followed by sunshine and showers mainly in the north and east. a much stronger northerly wind on monday. temperatures at best 15, 16 in the south and feeling colder elsewhere. this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at seven... the chancellor, kwasi kwarteng has defended his tax cuts aimed at boosting economic growth, saying they're fair for all — but they're receiving a mixed reaction from the public. i think it probably will help, yes, to a degree, but depends i don't know. we'll see. they are basically saying that if you are very wealthy, the labour leader, sir keir starmer arrives in liverpool, ahead of his party conference, telling crowds he'll set out the dividing lines between labour and the new tory government. t

to be british but she also knew how important it was to reach the hand out of friendship. >> northern ireland is not part of the commonwealth. it's one of the home countries so it's not quite the same, but there are discussions about what might happen in the future to all of ireland. whether at some point it will be reunited. there are also discussions about scotland. i know you look at what's been going on with the monarchy around the world through that lens. what are your thoughts? >> yeah, it's really interesting, actually, to hear within the uk those same questions about you know, what happens next and who are we. it really does come down to identity. clearly with northern ireland, you know, these issues have been going on for a long time. i remember growing up in england, you know, the ira was a big deal. i remember bombs and bomb threats and just being aware of the whole situation. one thing about charles, king charles, he's old enough to have seen all of that. to have had conversations with his mother and to be well versed and understand enough how important it is that the peace proces

more likely, though, across parts of western scotland and northern ireland through the afternoon. otland, compared to what we've seen through recent days. but a warm and humid one in the sunny spells, even though there's a bit more cloud — temperatures 20—25. biggest changes will come this weekend. could see a zone of showery, thundery rain from southwest scotland, northern ireland through towards east anglia. dry to the north of it with some strong winds. clearer slots to the south of it with some sunshine at times, but more in the way of heavy, thundery rain out in the west later. and the winds will be a feature on saturday, to the west of the country and more especially in the north. northwest scotland could see winds touch gale force at times. here are your temperatures for saturday — nice enough when the sun shines out. it'll feel cooler, though, in the wind and where you have the rain. and as i said, potential for more rain to come not just through sunday, but into monday. and any of these areas of low pressure that spin up, whilst there's a bit of uncertainty around them, th

as your queen, i am now even more closely concerned with the affairs of northern ireland. nder of the ira, the paramilitary group that carried out many of the violent attacks during the troubles, including on her own family. the handshake with martin mcguinness was a clear indication that that conflict was over and that was something that meant a lot to people like me who had stood against violence over many, many years, but that handshake basically, clearly said the conflict is over. let's get on with building peace. today, loyalty to the monarchy in unionist areas is more prominent in northern ireland then perhaps anywhere else in the uk, and belfast�*s iconic road has become a focal point for tributes. but today, the attention was on the royal route it really means a lot to welcome the new king. to sympathise with him on the death of his mother. we love the royal family, i certainly love the royal family. i will be at the funeral in london. for northern ireland, there is now new hope the unifying legacy the queen is remembered for will be continued. there has been a rath

her critics say she has used opposition to the northern ireland particle and the eu itself -- ireland protocol and the eu itself to garner support in the conservative party. do you think she will dial down the temperature now that she has been elected? >> i think that is likely. liz truss is no longer campaigning. she's going to be confronted by the realities of government. particularly realities of government in crisis. her options are going to be limited. she will have to adopt a conciliatory tone. it will be interesting to see when that happens. once the political costs become apparent, you will see the tipping point. if nothing else, liz truss is a flexible politician. we can say this throughout her career. she has changed positions openly , repeatedly. absolutely we will see a different kind of figure. folly: do you agree with that? she was tough with the eu during negotiations for brexit. she was confrontational at times with brussels. are we going to see continuity when it comes to brexit, or a change? lydia: i certainly hope we will see a change because i think everybody loses
