sirjeffrey donaldson, the dup leader speaking. sirjeffrey donaldson, the dup leaderspeaking.r speaking. let's take stock. we are well into the second day of this count in northern ireland, so let's take stock of where we are with our ireland correspondent chris page and a warning that his report contains flash photography. applause the political ground in northern ireland is shifting. that is generating delight for new assembly members and disappointment for the party which has won the last five elections. the race for the final few seats tends to be very tight but the picture is clear. a surge in support for the cross—community alliance party and a drop in votes for the democratic unionists, and sinn fein is on course to be the largest party in the northern ireland assembly. for the first time, a party which wants to take northern ireland out of the uk is expected to be its largest political force. sinn fein�*s vice president, michelle o'neill, is in line to become first minister. no irish nationalist has ever held the post before. michelle has led from the front, so i am de

let's start with donaldson's comments.opriate, he is calling t them racist. what do you think? >> tim anderson is one of baseball's brightest young stars, very exciting player, passionate and sometimes wears his emotions on his sleeve. in 2019 in a sports illustrated article, he said, i think of myself as this era's jackie robinson. jackie robinson schchanged the game. i can change the game by making it more fun. okay, fair enough. i you thing as an aside, although it's an innocently poor choice of words and we shouldn't make a big deal out of it, no person in the present day should compare themselves to present day jackie robinson. no baseball player should, especially a young player without a resume, any more than a white citizen should compare themselves to a king or a modern day abraham lincoln. it just doesn't fly. so that was probably a poor choice of words. let's go to jack donaldson. he's on his sixth team in the american league. a very good player. i do not know josh donaldson, but it is well known around baseball

donaldson is white.aseball. i said it to him in years past. not in any manner than just joking around, for the fact that he called himself jackie robinson. my meaning of that is not in any term trying to be racist. obviously, he deemed that it was disrespectful. look, if he did, i apologize. i guess not what i was trying to do by any manner. >> joining me is bradford william davis. he's an investigationive journalist with "insider" and former columnist with "new york daily news." the context matters. donaldson apparently called anderson jackie several times during the game. do you think it merited punishment? >> absolutely. i mean, he's using the legacy of a civil rights icon to instigate. that's point blank enough to narrate a serious look from the league. anderson perceived it as a problem. his manager called it racist. all of his team stood up for him at that point. that's astounding. to see 26 players rally around a black player. saying he didn't like what went down here. >> what about donaldson's de

democratic unionist party leader jeffrey donaldson says his party will wait til next week before deciding whether to enter a power—sharing government. the sovereign government here who can make the decisions, that will unlock the door to stormont is the uk government. that is absolutely clear. i'm in belfast for day two of the counting — and we'll be bringing you all the latest news and reaction. across the rest of the uk the conservatives have lost almost 500 seats in the local elections, with labour and the liberal democrats taking control of a number of councils. cheering. the snp remain the largest party in scottish councils — with labour overtaking the conservatives to finish second. labour was the biggest winner in wales, where the conservatives lost more than 80 seats. ukraine says it has recaptured five villages north—east of kharkiv, as it continues a counter—offensive against russian forces. the taliban continues to roll back on women's freedoms in afghanistan, ordering them to wear the face veil. chelsea get their new owners — terms have been agreed, with the consortium led by

donaldson admitted it but denied any racist tensions.aldson has a reputation for stirring up trouble. >> he has a prickly personality. he is a provocative guy. he is very edgy. he's had run-ins with umpires, with teammates, opponents. that is not unheard of among players, but he has a pattern of that. okay. when he read this sports illustrated thing, he says that he started calling tim anderson jackie every time their paths crossed. that is just designed to dig at him. and he has to be more aware. there is 1,000 ways if you want to be obnoxious, if you want to be a bench jockey, if you want to get on the other guy's nerves, there is a bunch of ways without going to that territory. >> josh donaldson has appealed the suts pspending. >>> and the celtics have evened up the series with the miami heat. jayson tatum led all scorers with 31 points for boston. the celtics jumped out to a big lead in the first quarter, never looked back. the heat shot a miserable 33% from the field and starting lineup scored only 18 points. game five is scheduled

>> so the first step under the analysis, under donaldson, is to identify the interest. and the second step is to identify whether the entity has been assigned as an agent of the state. the third step is if there are different interests, only 30 different interests, you get the -- type of analysis. if the interests are identical, there is a adequacy of representation on that metric. >> but are we to defer to the states understanding about the interest to us? suppose the state says, we think, members of the senate have a different interest than members of the house, because they might be led by different parties. or suppose that they said members of a particular committee have a different interest than other members? there are a variety of things that states could do to define their own interests that are not just legislative interests? would we defer to the states on that definition? those most boom or particular definitions? of those interests? so we can come up with five interests or ten interests, all of which might be expressed by various kinds of legislators? >> sta

jeffrey donaldson has been speaking to the bbc.ek whether to consider re—entering the power—sharing executive. he said it would depend on what borisjohnson said or what was said by the government in the queen's speech. a couple of weeks ago you may remember it seemed that the government was preparing to announce some powers within the queen's speech to change the protocol, to change the northern ireland protocol. that is a set of rules that govern is post—brexit trade in northern ireland. but then on the eve of the vote here, they northern ireland secretary brandon lewis said that wasn't the case and unionists have been telling me here this week that that has really damaged trust between them and the government at westminster. you know, as for what's said jeffrey donaldson has said, is that a sign of a slight shift of position? it is impossible to say at this stage. some of the chair is in the last few minutes in belfast... actually, before i go to a bit of that detail let me tell you about the relative positions of the parties. si

the leader of the dup, sirjeffrey donaldson, says the northern ireland protocol has left him with littleserious about getting this protocol sorted out. because of the harm it is doing, undermining political stability, damaging the agreements that have formed the basis of the political progress made in northern ireland, harming our economy, contributing to the cost of living crisis. this matter needs to be dealt with. but for sinn fein, now the largest party in stormont, it's an insult to voters, with michelle 0'neill saying the assembly should be forming an executive to put money in people's pockets and fix our health service. the dup has confirmed they will punish the public and not turn up. they are disgracefully holding the public to ransom over their brexit mess. if stormont isn't functioning, it means issues like the cost of living, the energy crisis and health aren't being tackled. we've had experience of that before, as you know. for three years. and the impact is the difficulties in making really difficult decisions on how to reconfigure and change our health service in northern

we heard party leader sirjeffrey donaldson | party leader sirjeffrey donaldson repeat this yesterdayr—sharing executive unless our concerns over the northern ireland protocol is sorted out but, as you alluded to, one of the big stories of the selection is the vice of the centre ground and how well the alliance party is doing. isn't that a mandate for something different for politics to really function well here and do you think thatjeffrey donaldson and party colleagues in the dup will have to take account of that? i think our structures do need to take better account of the centre ground. in northern ireland politics this is referred to actually in legislation is the group called the other but it is the group called the other but it is important to note here when you look back to 1998 when the belfast good friday agreement was signed the unionist block had about 39.6% of the vote. and lastly spark had about 39.9% of the vote. —— the nationalist bloc had about 39.9%. now the nationalist bloc has 40% of the vote. there hasn't been any actual dramatic change of that. but we're actually

mr donaldson isn't going to play ball, i think.l the protocol is sorted out. it is hard to tell. but i can't see the | unionists getting into power withj sinn fein being the largest party. the election may have delivered an historic result, but governing northern ireland is always a difficult balance. it looks like old disagreements will prevent much progress for 110w. danjohnson, bbc news, belfast. the boss of scottish power has urged the government to do more to help with rising energy bills. the company's chief executive, keith anderson, told the bbc that another expected increase in the energy price cap could see average bills rise to between 2500 and 3000 a year. mr anderson urged the government to do more to help people struggling with the cost, as our business editor, simonjack, explained. he's proposing to give 10 million households £1000 each off their energy bills. that enormous amount of money, £10 billion, that will be paid by adding about £30—eao on every single person's bill over the next ten years. now, that's a lot

bald men or they kind of donaldson bald meant.ortant to understand that, if avant and jarred feel that it will be better for their future to look out for their own good, even if it is at the expense of donald, that's exactly what will happen. >> really? so, in other words, you think that your cousin has word from her father, that approach? >> yeah, it's really important to remember that every relationship in my family's transactional. and every relationship is conditional. so, if it gets to the point where ivanka and jarred feel that they are in more danger if they continue to defend their father that they would be if they cooperated, then that's what will happen. because what's donald i don't think understands is that his turning on them or other people is useless, because he's the big fish that everyone is going after. so, it would be of benefit to jared and ivanka, again, if that's the calculus they make, to make that decision. >> okay. let's look at the 2022 midterms together here. according to an account by the new york times

jeffrey donaldson says his party won't do so unless post brexit trading arrangements are addressed. weand we've our position clear to him. and it is the position we have held before the election, throughout the election campaign, and will continue to hold. and that is until we get decisive action, taken by the uk government, on the protocol, we will not be nominating ministers to the executive. we want to see stable political institutions, we want to be part of the executive. we want to play our part and fulfil the mandate we have been given by the people of northern ireland. but we have also clear, given the damaging and harmful impact of the protocol, continue to have a northern ireland, driving up the cost of living, harming our economy, impeding our ability of businesses trade with their biggest market in great britain and fundamentally, undermining political stability, undermining political stability, undermining the principle of consensus politics which is at the heart of our political institutions, we need this to be resolved. when we re—entered the executive back at the beginni

leader will take up his position as deputy 1st minister behind. shin feigns michel o niel. jeffrey donaldson says he wants to see border protocol removed 1st. in northern ireland symbolism matters hugely. so while power sharing enshrined in the good friday peace agreement ensures that the positions of 1st minister and deputy 1st minister shared between the largest unionist nationalists parties have exactly equal powers. the changing of places in the storms assembly in this election carries enormous symbolic way. unionism isn't a very place. northern ireland had its and teen re last year, the celebrations of rather muted. and there was a sense of the future of the union, very much being at stake. and partly because breaks it and what that means. the northern ireland change relationship between overland in the u. k. with the dall agreements in the protocol. and that also what's going on with in unionism itself. it's very fragmented. and with that fragmentation comes the uncertainty over political stability in the short term and longer term questions about the future of northern ireland itself.

so for now, sirjeffrey donaldson will be passing by michelle o'neill, rather than governing northerntocol is endangering political stability and has accused the eu of being inflexible. i think the unionists are understandably concerned about the way the northern ireland protocol has been working, and we should be too because the treaty itself provides for its revision and that has not been successfully concluded, and it needs to be. it needs to be revised because it was always agreed that northern ireland remained a fundamental part of the united kingdom. but eu leaders have warned the uk it risks a trade war if it scraps the protocol. as the international impasse continues, many people in northern ireland are pointing to the dire effects of devolution standing still. hospital waiting times are the longest in the uk by far. doctors say ministers need to be in place to make vital reforms quickly. if we don't bring about change, we will be led to an unplanned collapse of the health service. if you're on a waiting list forfour years for a hip replacement, you're already feeling the impa

in a statement this afternoon the leader of the dup sirjeffrey donaldson said his party wants actionarties so far apart, can a visit from the prime minister end the stalemate at stormont? sara girvin, bbc newsline, stormont. let's get some analysis on this now. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. lebanese officials say voter turnout was just a1% in the country's parliamentary election. it is the first vote since an explosion of a container ship in beirut�*s port which killed over 200 people in 2020 and a devastating economic collapse which has led to the currency losing 90% of its value. a former president of somalia, hassan sheikh mohamud, has been re—elected to office after three rounds of voting by parliamentarians. he defeated the incumbent, mohamed abdullahi farmajo, who he also faced in the final round of the last election in 2017. supporters greeted the result by cheering and firing guns in the air around the capital mogadishu. voting was conducted in a heavily—guarded aircraft hangar at the international airport. the controversial american preacher frank

the leader of the dup, sirjeffrey donaldson, says the northern ireland protocol has left him with littlee. we are serious about getting this protocol sorted out. because of the harm it is doing, undermining political stability, damaging the agreements that have formed the basis of the political progress made in northern ireland, harming our economy, contributing to the cost—of—living crisis. this matter needs to be dealt with. but for sinn fein — now the largest party in stormont — it's an insult to voters, with michelle o'neill saying the assembly "should be forming an executive to put money in people's pockets" and "fix our health service. the dup has confirmed they will punish the public and not turn up. they are disgracefully holding the public to ransom over their brexit mess." if stormont isn't functioning, it means issues like the cost of living, the energy crisis and health aren't being tackled. well, we've had experience of that before, as you know, for three years. and the impact is the difficulties in making really difficult decisions on how to reconfigure and change our healt
