that is geoffrey donaldson, | quick. that is geoffrey donaldson, the leader of— quick.hern ireland protocol, and geoffrey donaldsonjust ireland protocol, and geoffrey donaldson just saying there, we will not be rushed in ourjudgment of this new deal, we want to take our time to give a considered view, and looked through the legal text. so just saying they want to take their time, would not say whether that might be weeks or months, so we will have to wait for that verdict. very important indeed. the first female speaker of the house of commons, betty boothroyd, has died aged 93. before becoming speaker, she served as labour mp from 1973. the current speaker sir lindsay hoyle has described her as "an inspirational woman" who was known for her "no—nonsense style". here�*s a selection of clips from throughout her life and career. betty boothroyd�*s election as speaker of the commons left some members puzzled as to how they should address the first woman to hold the post. she left them in no doubt. i stood up to my great height and i said, "call me madam." she�*d come from

we can hear now from the leader a, d, b jeffrey donaldson. he was spoken to just a few moments ago and here's what he had to say about it. i haven't seen it yet. so once we've seen the legal tax will come to you or do you feel positive? well, no, the positive or negative. i think that we need to take time to look at the data. what's available? how does not match our 7 tests? so the politicians remaining very non committal at the moment is understandable. i haven't actually seen the deal in detail yet. what about the people of northern ireland? because where she's tonight said this would make an immediate positive difference to the lives of people. what do they want or the main problem with a northern protocol and how it affects the northern ireland, the people. it is political. it's because this building here behind me, which is the storms assembly storm a parliament essentially is currently paralyzed. the d u p. pulled out of it months ago in protest over the protocol. and they will not come back here. they will not restart that power sharin

donaldson fearful storm. he writes to and so this is the note they find they eventually find four different bottles. but the big find is off of muskegon when. they find the body of newton grimwood, a post guy, is walking along the beach. he smells something horrible. they find the body inside the pocket, a library card identifying. newton grimwood and his notes are there, too, about flying. now, i'm to save the notes for what he wrote, because it's a great pitch for my book. i'll give you an address two or a place to get it. at the end of the talk, i will say that there's nothing in there about storm. there's nothing about the crash. but he got his exclusive and sadly, it was the last story that he ever wrote. another bottle was found in a collection, not on the beach, but a bottle collection. years and years later, that said, i'm in love with the lady from the circus. please give all my money to the you know, to her. and of course, there is no the don right away after donaldson vanishes, they have to find an

all suggestions he's going to meet with donaldson but that could donaldson later, but that could well for well happen in london. but for the prime minister u.s. the prime minister in the us. this could more this fall could be much more pleased with reception that pleased with the reception that this has received, pretty this deal has received, pretty warmly in parliament warmly received in parliament there. tom, last night. warmly received in parliament there. tom, last night . leaders there. tom, last night. leaders have welcomed it here as the other northern irish political leaders . if look at some leaders. and if you look at some of the headlines in the papers today, papers that today, including papers that have been have not necessarily been terribly of rishi terribly supportive of rishi sunak past, like the sunak in the past, like the daily to think daily mail, they seem to think that pulled a blind show on that he's pulled a blind show on all this, but in the end dup, all of this, but in the end dup, support will be crucial not just to the restoration stalwart here in belfast,

what peter are, what jeffrey donaldson said about the european court of justice. it is interesting because initially opposition to the protocol was driven by the friction surrounding trade between great britain and northern ireland and was only at a later stage that union started talking about the e c. j as a central issue. and so that, that was added into the mix a little bit later and has been brought to prominence. and the danger i think is that there is in this new agreement, there is a mechanism that would allow 30 members of the 90 member assembly in northern ireland to challenge the application of you law and alerts. the british government to their dissatisfaction, jeffrey donaldson, may see that as a mechanism by which unionists could repeatedly prevent e you laws from applying in northern ireland. it's possible that that's, those are the parent terms of which he's thinking on its own. clear yet how that mechanism will work with the mechanism you're referring to the, the, the parliament in westminster would have veto power over that mechanism. is that corr

jeffrey donaldson they are. holding statement from dup, some earlier reaction, but they will take their time to go through details with lawyers, and see what the reaction longer term will be. that could take weeks in fact. there are various political big dates on the diary, anniversary of good friday agreement, and elections in may, and will dup extract a financial price from the uk government for their support of a new deal? we will have to wait and see. we will get more on all of that in the next few hours, i am sure today. we will get more reaction. the key thing is, once this deal is agreed and published, we will then see what people say about it, both in the conservative party and the wider political field in the uk. also, in the labour party, keir starmer has said they are keen to support any deal because they see it would be better than the existing stalemate. our sharing of course has been suspended in northern ireland. they are also hoping that from this deal better relations on other areas, for example

big decisions for jeffrey donaldson. he said last week. big moment . donaldson. he said last week.donaldson. he said last week. big moment . this is a big moment big moment. this is a big moment for his leadership. he can't mess this up if rishi sunak has bounced or about to bounce to democratic unionist party. i think that could be a very dangerous court and i think it will be. it should be ought to be inconceivable that mr. sunak could bring forward any deal without being absolutely that the democratic unionist is going to back it. and we have evidence and no confirmation that there has been in—depth negotiations policy with jeffrey donaldson and his and his aides on this whole issue. so it could be a very dangerous for rishi sunak and for jeffrey donaldson . okay. and for jeffrey donaldson. okay. look, both of you, what i'm going to do is now just ask you quite a short. we're awaiting the start of this press conference. another angle i want to get stuck into this with my next guest. but look, don't next guest. but look, we don't know the info at all or know all of the info at al

sir jeffrey donaldson . can i thank jeffrey donaldson.or his efforts in relation to the northern ireland protocol? it is unacceptable that northern ireland has been put in this place with a protocol imposed upon us that harms place in the united kingdom. it must replaced with arrangements that are acceptable and restore our place in the united kingdom and its internal market. does the prime minister accept how important the and democratic issues are in relation to getting a solution ? relation to getting a solution? and will he agree with me that is unacceptable that eu laws are imposed on northern ireland with no democratic or consent ? and no democratic or consent? and will he assure me he will address these fundamental constitutional issues and do so not just by tweaking the protocol but by rewriting the legally binding treaty text? i'm going to stop . i thank the right going to stop. i thank the right honourable gentleman for his question, but also thank him for the role that he has played in recent months in articulating unionist . i

as jeffrey donaldson described , the very donaldson described, the very fact that steve baker has as, this could be doable. does that indicate that there is some of mechanism that they've actually found and i think scaled was the phrase being used on the powers the ecj again i don't know steve baker's you know made some slightly comments of late so i honestly don't know whether there's any significance to that tool . i can't really to that tool. i can't really comment on that right. breaking news as we speak to you let me read this from press association rishi sunak and the european president, ursula von der leyen have struck a deal over northern ireland protocol. a senior government source has said , government source has said, well, the worst kept secret , well, the worst kept secret, perhaps indications that many people are saying, you know, this was done a week ago or even earlier , that maybe as blue earlier, that maybe as blue peter would say, his here's one we made earlier. let's hope it's something rather more substantial on the sticky back plastic this time, however , can pl

we understand some jeffrey donaldson , that the jeffrey donaldson, that the willingness is there , butt is exercising them is this so—called stormont break. is that a veto or not? well, this is a really question, andifs well, this is a really question, and it's something i've been able to get some clarification on in the last. there able to get some clarification on in the last . there were lots on in the last. there were lots of reports yesterday that this storm break would need cross community consent to be able to be deployed, i.e. unless the dup and sinn fein both agree they wouldn't able to stop eu law. well, i understand that's not actually how it would work. the way that this stormont break would work is if there was new eu law coming in being imposed on northern ireland that people within northern ireland did not want. sir members of the legislative assembly in northern ireland, 30 mlas. that's one third of the assembly from two parties. they would be able to put forward a petition of concern. right. that would then dis apply that law before . it dis apply that law before. it w

we had for him, jeffrey donaldson, who's the d p later this morning. essentially saying that it will take as long as it takes, but they want to make sure that they get it right and they reach a decision based on consensus within the party. there are lots of things i hate about protocols. there are lots of things that richie see next say, have been fixed with the winds that framework things to do with tray, things to do with the constitutional position of northern audit. within the u. k. there is some encouraging flexibility i think being shown perhaps by the d u. p, which i hadn't heard previously this morning. jeff donaldson said that whereas it had looks like he was a po, any application of the law within northern ireland. now it seems like that saying that actually there are areas in which they would be okay with that. basically, when it applies to northern honest position with the single market and see that the customer brought the single market off, the european union would apply to northern on and trade position within the u. k. backs where they

in his mid-20's, he met and fell in love with his landlord's recently divorced daughter, rachel donaldsonwhile she was described later in life is a dowdy woman who smoked a pipe, in her youth that she was considered both beautiful and popular. she and jackson married in 1791 and later adopted a son, andrew jackson junior. shortly after their wedding, they learned that her divorce had not been finalized. despite their legal remarriage in 1794, the couple he was greatly ostracized in social circles in the years that followed. in fact, the scandal surrounding their marriage provided much fodder for jackson's political opponents during his first presidential campaign. when his wife died shortly before his inauguration on december 28, 1828, jackson blamed them for her untimely death. he saw the first white house with running water, the first president to be censured following the bank of united states controversy, and the first presidential assassination attempt. his vice presidents were john calhoun and after a falling out with him, martin van buren. after the presidency, jackson retired to t

yes, sir jeffrey donaldson, as you say, the | jeffrey donaldson, as you say, the leader of the democraticnist party has a vote of party officers who basically run the party, there are other important members who will be consulted, not least grassroots members elected politicians at local government level, councillors in northern ireland who will be facing the electorate in just over a couple of months on the 18th of may, there will be council elections held there on that day and that is a very important political dynamic playing into all this with the main electoral threat that the dup would see, i don�*t think it comes from more moderate political forces see, i don�*t think it comes from more moderate politicalforces such as the ulster unionist party, for example, orthe as the ulster unionist party, for example, or the alliance which is not and neither unionist nor nationalist. they would be looking to make games that these elections is the voice and that is a more hard line unionist party and it has one member out of 90 here at stormont, the leader of the traditional... who is... of pow

so there are big decisions for jeffrey donaldson to make. and the next few days, they're having a meeting on saturday to try to decide what line they will take. but it's just a matter of where he's going to have to decide. do they go in, in the short term, or in the long term? or do they simply stay are which kids are going to be isolated? okay, let me begin mr. baton in dublin obviously, you know, you don't just come to these agreements overnight. there's a lot of negotiations even behind the scenes. and i was wondering from your take, how much input has that been from dublin through the e u to bring the u. k. and, and mr. soon acts ideas to fruition to what to the point that we are right now. well, the irish government has a vested interest in finding the closest possible relationship between united kingdom and, and the european union is certainly in our interest as the only frontier between the european union and, and the united kingdom. we are the full line of war. i just want to address briefly the point about about the union is positio

the thing donaldson proved to me is don't be the first day.really hard when you are cutting through timber creating the initial path. the people followed us found it to be much easier. liz: the fed became more transparent, remember obviously when post alan greenspan, he started news conferences and you see every meeting has a news conference jay powell, is that good? >> i think it's probably fine. the question is whether mr. powell has been effective or not most people he started too late. i have people who feel he's always been a little too late so in the case of jay powell and fed reserve, they say the only thing that's really visible is happened because of this rate increases we have had a modest slowdown and the construction industry. the rest of the world seems to go like it always has. liz: let me ask you, where are the bargains? there are still some bargains, are there not? were in the business of looking and scraping around. >> always digging for bargains but i find they come out of the ground once in a while and you just don't find ba

the leader of the dup, sirjeffrey donaldson, said the deal represented progress but he thought therestill issues with it. our ireland corrrespondent chris page is at the port of larne. you could say northern ireland has been on the front line of brexit in many ways. under the previous arrangement known as the protocol, goods arriving to ports like here in laugharne from the rest of the uk have been subject to checks to ensure they comply with eu rules. rishi sunak hopes his new deal will end any sense, as you said, of there being a border in the irish receive and pave the way for the dup to lift its veto on power and restore northern ireland's devolved government. the brexit journey has the brexitjourney has lasted for seven years. borders have moved to the centre, dominating politics here. but the prime minister thinks here. but the prime minister thinks he has finally found a solution. at a factory in county antrim he told people the devolved governments would have a unique economic advantage with local businesses having full access to british and eu markets. . , , ~ markets. that

and jeffrey donaldson , looking.ay, that it could be up to a year, a long time. dougie, i think what the prime minister actually said at the time was if you've got to fill in those forms, tell them to ring the prime minister. i don't think they did. and dougie, got a point for dougie, i've got a point for you.so dougie, i've got a point for you. so look, i read the withdrawal agreement and the fiscal in october 2019 fiscal protocol in october 2019 as an mep and i saw within moments before the ink was even dry dup would not be dry that the dup would not be happy with this. all we any nearer do you think to an agreement because the sea border is still there is still seems to me that the ecj would have dominance. can you see a breakthrough or can we just see a betrayal ? quite seriously, the a betrayal? quite seriously, the mood music yesterday was we are seeing a i think we're seeing movement here, but we're seeing movement here, but we're seeing movement from what is suggested by one say does actually bringing us back

but darren, you know, what was said very clearly by sir jeffrey donaldson is they want to have a lookthe legal texts . are we. look at the legal texts. are we. do you think we're any closer to understanding whether the so—called veto really is a veto and whether whether this means. well is going to be fundamental treaty change? so i think in some regards, yes. because jeffrey donaldson gave the impression this morning that he is at least superficially looked at this idea of the so—called stallman break. and he does seem to think that it could possibly work . but you're right, the dup work. but you're right, the dup have drafted in lawyers to go through all of this . there are through all of this. there are also about just how also questions about just how much unfettered access there will through, these green will be through, these green lanes. they're lanes. you know, they're not getting customs getting rid of customs arrangements on green arrangements even on the green lanes. arrangements even on the green lanes . and as you have suggested lanes. and as you have suggested , well, th

wilson as jeffrey as you point out jeffrey donaldson leader of the dup , donaldson as leader of the dup got a big job persuading the sammy wilsons of on that of this world to move on that issue . and of course, we're issue. and of course, we're looking at, you know, 25 years on the additional sort of ingredient that's been added notes brandon lewis, former northern ireland, talking about perhaps reform of the good friday architecture as he described it, in terms of reflecting the views of the alliance party in, terms of its changing electoral and therefore, what that would mean for the dup . yeah. you sense the for the dup. yeah. you sense the frustration and that's represented by those comments from lewis with the fact that the northern ireland executive keeps collapsing. if you look at the last six years of so—called power sharing those institutions not been in place for 60% of the time. that's worse in the first six years when it was perhaps excusable when northern ireland was of conflict. and was coming out of conflict. and so government option so the government has the option of th

the dup leader said donaldson says that further eu concessions are needed. further eu concessions are. and tory mp meets needed. and tory mp meets tonight at 5 pm. to fire questions at the foreign secretary in an important 1922 committee meeting . well, let's committee meeting. well, let's make sense of some of these big stories now with the political editor of the daily express, sam lister , who joins me in the lister, who joins me in the studio. sam first of all, on this cash that seemingly has been magic out of nowhere . this been magic out of nowhere. this because tax receipts are higher than were expected. yes. so in january, there's always bump in january, there's always bump in january because it is when people do their self—assessment. so you always this little spike in the amount of tax that's coming in in january. but what happened this january was that that spike was much bigger than anybody had actually. the more people doing their self—assessment and paying in and there was a £5 billion surplus, there was more collected in tax than we spent that month, which is a great th

raise some concerns— jeffrey donaldson did raise some concerns but also welcome some parts of it is—orse _ hope will be that the dup may not endorse the deal that will not come out against it. i think the initial reaction — out against it. i think the initial reaction from the tory party, and generally— reaction from the tory party, and generally in the house of commons, rishi sunak— generally in the house of commons, rishi sunak has managed to win more than many— rishi sunak has managed to win more than many expected and therefore there _ than many expected and therefore there could still be at rebellion and a _ there could still be at rebellion and a vote that has been promised but i'm _ and a vote that has been promised but i'm struggling right now to see it being _ but i'm struggling right now to see it being the worst case scenario rebellion — it being the worst case scenario rebellion that was being mooted. interesting. thank you for that reaction from westminster. let's go a bit wider and get an international perspective. want do we look like here from a us perspective, joel r

so what will be the key factors for the dup and their leader, sirjeffrey donaldson?ns will continue to apply in northern ireland, what sort of influence were members of the northern ireland assembly at stormont have and how those regulations are applied? how strong will of the role be of the european court ofjustice, the eu's highest court, in northern ireland? the dup have said they will want to take time to study the detail of any deal, so i immediate response from them is unlikely and we are likely to instead of a period of time where their party want to consult the grassroots about this highly important decision.- grassroots about this highly important decision. chris page, thank you- _ important decision. chris page, thank you. let's _ important decision. chris page, thank you. let's go _ important decision. chris page, thank you. let's go to - important decision. chris page, thank you. let's go to ]ess - important decision. chris page, l thank you. let's go to ]ess parker thank you. let's go tojess parker in brussels. what will this deal mean to the european un

if we look back to what sir jeffrey donaldson said on friday, he seemed pretty optimistic, but at the text of any legislation would have to be looked at carefully. this is all pretty retractable, if a deal comes in the next couple of days, i don't think the dup will throw their hands up and say, right, this is great, we will go back into stormont. they will go back into stormont. they will say we will have to look at this very carefully. i will say we will have to look at this very carefully.— will say we will have to look at this very carefully. i would ask you how close was _ this very carefully. i would ask you how close was the _ this very carefully. i would ask you how close was the feeling - this very carefully. i would ask you how close was the feeling that - this very carefully. i would ask you how close was the feeling that we | how close was the feeling that we are to deal, but i guess it's all about, reminds?— are to deal, but i guess it's all about, reminds? this as it is aired. in terms of— about, reminds? this as it is aired. in terms of how _ about, reminds? this as it

tom, as you with a very powerful intervention by jeffrey donaldson of the dup and much mocking from keirer . so mocking from keir starmer. so for her to even sit down with me and in office for a 20 minute interview and talk about northern ireland is pretty punchy and in the full interview you can listen to her issuing a veiled threat. she said in that in that clip that she's resigned before when she's found the terms of conditions intolerable . in the full interview, she says , look, stormont won't work says, look, stormont won't work if we don't have the deal. whoopee it's as simple as that . whoopee it's as simple as that. i don't think she approaches northern ireland. she has any great long standing history , great long standing history, northern ireland or deep, deep interest in the very complex politics in northern on with all respect to her. she approaches it as a lawyer and she is legally offended. she is conscious , attitudinally conscious, attitudinally offended that what she calls in a phrase that's likely to stick a phrase that's likely to stick a politicised and expansionist

jeffrey donaldson - much indeed. we willjust leave it there.f and correct the wrongs of the last year. it does seem promising and it does seem like talks have made some progress in belfast this morning. tesla is recalling more than 350,000 of its us vehicles due to safety concerns. the national highway traffic safety administration said the company's full self—driving software may cause a crash. tesla said it's not aware of any injuries or deaths related to the recall issue, but as samira hussain explains, the full self—driving beta software is a big part of tesla. this self—driving technology for tesla is a big part of its business plan. it's what tesla and elon musk has been pushing and they believe it is the absolute future. elon musk has also said this self—driving technology is better, and in many cases, safer than just regular drivers. but what tests have shown is there has been incidents in which some of these technologies have caused accidents. while in this particular software update instance, they are saying that, look, what we are do

in a positive signal, we have heard from the dup leader jeffrey donaldson expressing his gratitude toishi sunak. and taking credit that they have pushed so hard, brussels has moved, but still says he needs time to digest the bill. after he came out, not one tori spoke out against the deal, including boris johnson and liz truss. dani: i wonder how burned they are from not knowing the text in advance. great coverage. go get a warm cup of tea. lizzy burden with the latest on the u.k. the adani investor roadshow has arrived in hong kong. this is the indian conglomerate continuing his charm offensive with investors to ease concerns about its financial health. in an exclusive interview, the cfo says adani group is not seeking to refinance debt or inject capital. annabelle, you spoke to the adani cfo, what were your takeaways? >> that's right. just to give you some context, adani group is taking a roadshow this week. they have been in singapore on monday, hong kong today and tomorrow. essentially, the key message is that the group is meeting with investors from different banks. today was pos

the lawyers to look at it and how these various locks and controls work from rishi sunak's view, donaldson not saying no is progress it gives the prime minister in the uk grounds for optimism. >> let's look at the prime minister then. this is an important political win for him. is this big enough to change the polls? >> the polls in the uk have been showing the conservative party and rishi sunak's party way behind the opposition labour party. against that back drop, this is seen in the uk press which is enthusiastic which sees it being good for rishi sunak and good for the government and breaking the logjam it could give the conservatives a chance in the next election that i don't think they thought they had >> in terms of the future of rishi sunak as well, even if he does not win the next general election, does this agreement mean he will be able to remain as the leader of the conservative party or do you think a change is inevitable >> if the conservatives were to lose the general election, chances are rishi sunak would not stay on. the conservative party in the uk is incredibly quick at

so, the path to the naacp office in washington would go from donaldson up to walter white, walter whiteld pass the letter on to marshall. who would pass it to the naacp lawyer and they would figure out how to respond, whether to contact a local branch or whether to contact justice directly or both. watch the files reveal, -- what the files reveal, really for the first time for legal scholars and for others interested, in how our government works and the role of organizations like the aa -- the naacp, is what is going on in the doj in response to thurgood marshall. now we have the doj file with the correspondence between the lawyers at the department of justice including lawyers situated in the south. one case for example, there is a guy prosecuted in the south, his name is parker, who is resistant to pursuing any cases. he has been barred once. he lost the case before a federal jury. he doesn't want to try any others and the lawyers in washington keep prodding him to move forward with these cases. marshall is prodding both lawyers in washington, some of these cases come out of universit
