of the lack of clarity over how brexit would be imposed.d of course, people are still a little bit torn between whether they should stay there or join with the republic of ireland, and even broader question. since the good friday peace agreement of 1988, there has been an assembly and military coalition, at this time around, sinn fein, the irish nationalist, could become the largest party. history could be in the making. our correspondent in belfast. reporter: the sinn fein leader on the campaign trail, supporting local candidates in west belfast. in this republican heartland, many hope this election will be a turning point in history. for a century, northern ireland has been dominated by politicians loyal to the british crown. [chatter] >> this election, sinn fein has the opportunity to become the largest party, but also take the post of first minister. the significance in historical terms but also contemporary terms, is that politics changed in ireland. that ireland is changing. that we are now more open and more progressive society, but

it would be ridiculous for brexiteers — but as some brexiteers do — to not admit that it has createdabout democratic fundamentals and greater autonomy. i would say it is balanced. i say there is an economic issue, obviously, and the deal needs to be improved, but if you look at two disasters that have happened since brexit, in both of them, covid with vaccines — and i wouldn't wish to overstate this — but with ukraine, but you see evidence there of the benefits of greater national autonomy. a bit of national self—interest. crosstalk. if it's a state of mind in the way of sort of pursuing geopolitics. just one — the issue then is, as an island, if we are seeing this deglobalisation, how best we cope with that? because islands are inevitably dependent for getting things — people, skills, whatever — from outside. well, i would predict that at some point in the next 5—10 years, the deal is going to need re—examining. britain's going to have to try bring down some of the trade barriers. now, it's very difficult because the labour party will be accused, if it tries that — and i think they

the dup supported brexit and the consequence of brexit is that there has to be checks on goods moving those checks are now happening at northern ireland's ports and the dup say that undermines northern ireland's ties to the rest of the uk. the arrangement borisjohnson agreed on are known as the protocol, goods are checked as they are moved from england, scotland and wales so they don't have to be customs posts along the land border between the republic of ireland where they enter the eu, and installations on the land border would pose a real threat to the peace process. the irish foreign minister says the eu has made proposals for flexibility to improve things and that the uk should engage with them. this things and that the uk should engage with them. , , ., ., ., with them. this is not a time for unilateral _ with them. this is not a time for unilateral action _ with them. this is not a time for unilateral action and _ with them. this is not a time for unilateral action and announcing legislation which would essentially break international law and create a lot of unnecessary tension

you've not got brexit done. no, i disagree with that very much.here you're right is that we have a residual issue. it's causing... in northern ireland, it's causing stresses and strains. back in county down, another guitar is finished, but the soundtrack and consequences of brexit can still be clearly heard. the prime minister emphasised he wants to do everything he possibly could to restore power sharing government here, and today was step one. tomorrow will be step two with a speech from the foreign secretary liz truss setting out a plan for a new law to override elements of the protocol. something plenty in the eu say would be a breach of international law. the government hopes that by the end of this week they may have done enough to persuade the democratic unionist party to go back into the assembly, so the assembly can meet again, but thatis so the assembly can meet again, but that is not the same as executive and devolved government. that is likely to take much longer. studio: many thanks, chris mason, a political editor in belfast. —— our
