our ireland correspondent chris page is at stormont — and what chance is there of some progress? interesting position at westminster and has heaped the pressure on them to get back to some form of government here in northern ireland. there are other factors to which mean the the pressure is on the parties. they say there is a real crisis on the health service in northern ireland. because there has been no political direction of government for three years, nobody has been a chance to move money around a part of the nhs are said to be near collapse. nurses are on strike for the first time in their history. as a big pressure from voters. the backdrop is that is a big gap coming, the 30th ofjanuary. if they haven't got a deal by then the secretary of state will call a fresh assembly elections because the dup didn't perform very well in the general election and lost many votes, it is unlikely we are going to wa nt votes, it is unlikely we are going to want to hit another election where voters can choose to punish them again at the ballot box. we are shortly could be hearing from the d

chris page is in stormont and will bring us the latest as talks continuing there to attempt to restoren as the deputy first minister resigned his position. since then there have been several rounds of negotiations to bring back the coalition and none have succeeded so here we are a few days away from another talks deadline. you get the sense here that things are intensifying. the dup are holding several party meetings we understand here this afternoon. some of their mps have been brought back ally from westminster. that suggests they could be discussing the merits of the potential draft deal but that doesn't mean necessarily that the announcement of any agreement to restore devolution is imminent. it is understood the two biggest parties have received a briefing on the text of a potential deal but the other three parties involved, the ulster unionist party and the alliance party event, although the alliance party event, although the alliance party event, although the alliance party have been told to expect the briefing about 5pm. you get the impression that one way or another things ar

and as i know everyone's quoted to you, chris, he took a page from gilbert and sullivan's lancy, and said i did nothing in particular and did it very well. and i think that's what john roberts would like to walk away with, because, again, we're talk -- if it got to witnesses, you're not asking me about a vote on something like how many days of the house managers presenting their articles of impeachment or the white house lawyers defending the president. you're talking about one of the most significant salient questions we've got going here, witnesses. and chief justice john roberts probably does not want to get in the middle of that. one thing i'll say to people who often comment, well, when the vice-president sits and presides over the senate, he is able to break a tie. and that's absolutely true. but that's because the constitution specifically says when there's a split vote among senators, the vice-president can do that. the constitution does not outright say that the chief justice can. and, you know, it hasn't been tested in the modern era. i think john roberts is not in a positi

chris has questioned that, saying if there were real problems, is he the one to fix it? >> the real problem is, if there was systemic issues, not just in the carter pagetill looking at. so again, i think mr. chris being involved has now sort of brought credibility issues to a process. and i think ultimately this could damage the program which i care about the most. this is a legitimate program that is necessary and when appropriately applied is important for national security. but now this could cause congress to make adjustments that could weaken those powers. >> shannon: the case of the navy shooting, many others were injured. there is a lot of information that they've been able to get today but today the attorney general said we need apple to work with us on fully unlocking these phones. i think in this case they change course and actually work with the fbi. apple says, they reject the work allegation that they haven't responded, and they don't like how this is playing out in public. >> they don't but this has been an issue with apple for a long time. and the acting attorney general trying to work on how we work with the technology company with the
