the largest unionist party in northern ireland, the democratic unionist party — the dup, heavily criticised. so, their support is key to restoring power—sharing there. here's what its leader is saying. progress has been made. we continue to have some concerns. we will examine the legal text. we will look at all of this in around and come to at all of this in around and come to a decision. we are reasonable people, but we want to ensure that but the pre—minister has said is matched by what is actually in the agreement itself. but some in the dup are more sceptical of the deal because they believe european law would still play a significant role in northern ireland. you don't defend the union by acting in a way— you don't defend the union by acting in a way which takes you out of the united _ in a way which takes you out of the united kingdom because you implement foreign _ united kingdom because you implement foreign law, which drives you further— foreign law, which drives you further and further away from the country— further and further away from the country that you belong to. so the firs

the broadly got a pretty positive response will be at the democratic unionist party, at whom so much of the emphasis is aimed trying to get them back into power sharing, trying to get them behind the steel. they are still holding their council listening and talking to people in northern and they say, scrutinizing the details of this text. and that deliberation will take, they say, as long as it takes them as they look more closely at the detail, small cracks beginning to appear in the details in some of the wording being used. some of the prime minister's own wording in his statement of parliament. last night saying this deal removes the border in the i receive for good will. one union is politicians say that really isn't the case. with all this talk of red and green lanes. it's clear, this is still a customs border. is the external border of the single market with the rest of the united kingdom and they will god it, he said with the laws and all that questions also about the storm on break this soul written right? supposedly given to know them not to be able to veto any of those law

as for political reaction, we have already heard from the democratic unionist party and the democratich of them welcoming the announcement by the government in london. alsojust had announcement by the government in london. also just had a statement read from the irish foreign minister. as chris heaton harris said in his statements, thejudge who made the ruling 18 months ago, which has now led to the british government move to establish an inquiry. said that there should be an investigation carried out by the irish government. also it was not in his power to rule that the irish government should dojust his power to rule that the irish government should do just that. nonetheless the irish foreign minister has said that he will be consulting with his ministerial colleagues in dublin, including the ministerforjustice, to decide on their next steps. the cross—border element to all of this may well be important in that. the bomb was transported into 0magh from the other side of the irish border. this has been a long—running story, nearly a quarter of a century since the bomb exploded just ya

the democratic unionist party says this cuts northern ireland off from the rest of the uk, and for twoears they've refused to share power at stormont until a different solution is reached. our political correspondent iain watson has the story. the political stakes for rishi sunak are high. a deal with the eu appears to be moving closer. this would avoid a trade war between the uk and its largest market, but it could lead to a growing gulf within his own party, with some mps wanting the entire brexit agreement in northern ireland upended, and unless the democratic unionist party approve the deal, they won't agree to rejoin a power—sharing government at stormont. so, the prime minister has taken to the pages of usually conservative supporting newspapers to reassure sceptics in his own ranks that any deal won't be a sell—out. in an interview with tomorrow's sunday times, he says... but in the sun on sunday, he seems to suggest that his oven—ready deal still requires a few more ingredients. as for that progress, it's understood that any deal would make it much easier and less bureaucratic

there is also the crucial cat my question of how much or not this satisfies the democratic unionist partynto a power—sharing government in northern ireland unless the changes that they want to the current arrangements are made. that is left northern ireland without a functioning government at the moment. there is huge pressure on rishi sunak to try and resolve that. they have always said that they want to see the text of the deal and really pour over the detail before they come into any kind of judgment on it. i think if and when they have such attacks they will certainly be looking at the finer details of it and try and make sure that their tests are met and that they are not and they still refuse to go back into government that could prove another politically challenging movement for rishi sunak. ., . challenging movement for rishi sunak. .. ., ., ., sunak. the fact that we have had the statement issued _ sunak. the fact that we have had the statement issued now _ sunak. the fact that we have had the statement issued now in _ sunak. the fact that we have had the statement issued now in

last february, the democratic unionist party collapsed northern on and power sharing government in protest with serious consequences for things like health and education. the u. k government says the protocol treats goods coming to northern on and from the u. k. as if they were coming to another country. it wants to change this and less than the use continuing reach into u. k. affairs. but such a deal would not satisfy the unionist and loyalist community. we think it on acceptable that there should be a division between northern or nuclear breton. a customs from tier that separates the turns the united kingdom, india divided kingdom by administrative european union checks, dollars on acceptable, no wheel or no. we court a new each act union. a support is necessary for risha soon act to push through the u. k. e. u. d on the protocol, but it is preferable to have it. the dangers of an invested unit community are continue to political paralysis and possibly even this law as post a threatens a return to violence. so much depends on the detail of any u. k. e. u deal when it finally appears. man

party will at the pound shot up the markets like it. he's taken a major gamble here because he risked in doing this, a backlash, not just from the democratic unionists saying no, but from these hard line prob, record m, p 's on the right of his party, who said they would take their cue from the d. u p. if he can win them over and remember that constituency isn't nearly as strong as it once was. if he could win them over, it's a major coup. it's a big turning point in relations between the u. k. and the e u. and of course, it finally gets briggs, it does not. richie soon acts old bus boys. johnson who promised that he had done that. but rashid sumac himself could be caught a moment for they student leadership. so many thanks. well from all of this where we challenge has a little bit more on the deal from belfast. this deal, if it is going to stick, has to satisfy 2 key political constituencies. one of them is bricks at hard line as within the conservative party, but perhaps more importantly than them. it also has to satisfy the democratic unionist party here in northern ireland. both of these groups have been fiercely critical of the northern ireland

if the democratic unionist party don't go back into government in northern ireland after all of this,it ultimately amount to a failure? quite often we focus on the politics of situations, westminster and all the rest of it, but this is about the people of northern ireland, about the communities, about the businesses there. not exactly a direct answer. and an answers matter. because the ultimate prize is the restoration of the devolved government here at stormont in northern ireland. if that happens there will be a first ministerfrom sinn fein for the first time. we have always said it was possible to have a deal. we've always said that it was possible to have a deal. we've always said that with pragmatism, solutions could be found. so the fact that both sides have arrived at that point today and this represents the end of the negotiation, i think is something that will be well received. tonight in the commons, the scene of so many brexit defeats and so many prime ministers recently, rishi sunak had a plan to sell, sceptics to persuade. now is the time to move forward as one united kin

if the democratic unionist party don't go back into government in northern ireland after all of this,s it ultimately amount to a failure? quite often we focus on the politics of situations, westminster and all the rest of it, but this is about the people of northern ireland, about the communities, about the businesses there. and what's best for them. not exactly a direct answer. sinn fein, the largest party in the northern ireland assembly, have a clear view. we welcome the fact the deal has been done. we have always said it was possible to have a deal. we've always said that with pragmatism, solutions could be found. so the fact that both sides have arrived at that point today and this represents the end of the negotiation, i think is something that will be well received. for ursula von der leyen, tea at windsor castle with the king, a brew some feel uncomfortable about, bolted onto a very a political visit. most will forget that though if, and it remains an if, today's deal delivers everything she and the prime minister hope for. chris mason, bbc news, in windsor. northern island bu

the democratic unionist party have been firmly opposed to the current system, and have refused to enternt until a solution is reached. the uk prime minister rishi sunak has told the sunday times paper that his government was "giving it everything" to strike a deal. the irish prime minister leo varadkar says we're getting closer to a deal. i think the talks on reforming the protocol are inching towards a conclusion. certainly the deal isn't done yet but i do think we are inching towards conclusion and i really want to thank the uk government, the european commission and the northern ireland parties for the level of engagements that they've done in recent months to get us to this point. we just encourage everyone to go the extra mile to come to an agreement, because the benefits are huge. it allows us to have the northern ireland assembly and executive back up and running in the north, to have the good friday agreement working properly again and also to put relations between the united kingdom and ireland and the european union on a much more positive footing. and that's really important,
