that wasn't possible because the rules governing power sharing me the dup and sinn fein have to agreeof their opposition to the post—brexit trading arrangements. michelle o'neill was telling people today, i believe the dup just don't want power—sharing because they don't want to serve as a deputy first minister alongside a first minister who is a nationalist. they are punishing people leaving people without a government. the dup have responded to this quickly, they say they deny that, they are prepared to go back into power—sharing, they respect the mandate of voters that their opposition is to the brexit arrangements which have left northern ireland with a trade bother between it and the rest of the uk. strong words from michelle o'neill and the party is filling up the mess here today because not only have they become the largest party in northern ireland, the poll suggests they could be on course to also become the largest party in the republic of ireland at the next irish elections. if they become the largest in the north, in northern ireland, in the republic of ireland, that of co

there has been a pretty strong response from the dup about this.ared to do it while at the moment there is this irish sea border, causing problems getting from —— good is getting from great britain to northern ireland. they say that is why —— why they are saying out of government. very strong words from sinn fein today about the stormont crisis. but you have to remember of course if you think back a few more years, northern ireland of course, this is not the first time it has been left without a government. in 2017, the government collapsed and that time it was sinn fein walking out. you need to take a wider look at history when you hear things like this at party conferences. but sinn fein are in a confident mood today because of their success at the last elections and they hope that eventually when power—sharing does return, that one day michelle o'neill will be taking up day michelle o'neill will be taking up that first minister role. it is historic, not only because it is the first on the nationalist had been in the majority in —— the largest pa

that is dup has denied.e mandate that was brought back from the voters at the ballot box in may but it says it cannot do that at the moment because it is so deeply opposed to the new irish sea border created by brexit, something they see as severing northern ireland from the uk, its place in the uk as a whole. there will be some really strong words today from michelle 0'neill about the dup, the position at stormont and the critical deadlock leaving people without a government. don't forget, this is not the first time people in northern ireland have been left without a government. back in 2017, there was no government then and thenit there was no government then and then it was sinn fein who collapsed then it was sinn fein who collapsed the assembly by walking out over a whole other different row indeed. both sides in this debate have used their power of veto at different times. but sinn fein are feeling pretty optimistic. it was a great success for them, and historic moment in may when they became the larges

demands. 0r, the eu that meet the dup's demands.to override parts of the protocol is something else that the dup wants to see before it says it will go back into power sharing. the problem with that is that it is a collision course with the eu, consider that breaking international law and taking legal action over there. the big picture is that solving the crisis here at the moment doesn't really seem to be within the gift of stormont because it is all dependent on what is going on between the uk and the eu. although, saying that, lots of criticism from the dup's opponent sinn fein for the sense they are taking on this, sinn fein saying that it doesn't say voters to be holding us to ransom and staying out of power—sharing on this point of principle over the northern ireland protocol. an election everyone believed wasn't going to solve that. here we are. still no government, but no election either. we will have to see what comes from the talks with the eu. covid—19 infections have dropped in the uk but have continued to increase in ir

there won't be any power sharing unless the dup and sinn fein agreed to share power.y see this new irish sea border under minding ireland's place in the uk. under minding that affects their negotiation taking place between the eu and the uk. is there any progress there? behind the scenes, rishi sunak is hopeful there will be so he wants to allow more time to allow those to develop to take back to the parties. whether the uk can get concessions from the eu far enough in advance that will satisfy the dup that remains to be seen but it is not something that can be resolved at stormont, that is something you have to resolve the eu.— have to resolve the eu. thank you very much- _ 0ur correspondent now. the headlines on bbc news... plans for a new multi billion pound nuclear power plant in suffolk are under review as part of government spending cuts. northern ireland secretary chris heaton harris says there will be no stormont elections before christmas. keeping the lights on this winter — a new scheme launches which will see customers offered discounts on their energy bill

what replaced the dup as the largest political force in stormont.the big issue, which, at the moment, is at the centre of a deadlock in stormont and another measure announced this afternoon from chris heaton—harris is he will cut the pay of stormont assembly members who are on a salary of £51,500 a year but have rarely beenin of £51,500 a year but have rarely been in the chamber since april when the assembly broke up for the last election, so the idea of cutting their pay will probably be popular with memos of the public at a time when bills are still going up and up, but however the dup for their part have said it will not make any difference to their position on the protocol and they say this is about principles and not the level of pay. the us midterm election results are coming in with republicans projected to take control of the house of representatves and a dead heat in the senate. the result is expected shortly of a strike ballot by nurses — they're likely to vote for industrial action. prime minsiter rishi sunak said he 'obviously regrets' a

the dup won't go back into power sharing with sinn fein because of their deep opposition to the brexitg border between northern ireland and the rest of the uk. but this christmas election had been repeatedly promised. so why the change? we understand there was an intervention from the new prime minister, rishi sunak, behind the scenes, wanting to give things a little bit more time. negotiations continue on those problems between the uk and the eu, but for now some more clarity for the parties here at stormont. they are expecting the northern ireland secretary to pass new legislation to push that deadline back even further because, as you say, as it stands, by law, there would still have to be one at there would still have to be one at the moment byjanuary the 19th there would still have to be one at the moment by january the 19th but in reality now no one is expecting that. ., ., , in reality now no one is expecting that. . ., , ., ~ you, at stormont. there's going to be huge disruption on the railways again from tomorrow, as members of the rmt and tssa unions stage more strikes in the

on board and unblock some of the dup on board and unblock some of the blockages that have been there music on that is sounding a bit better. the northern ireland secretary chris heaton—harris this morning has said he is a glass half—full kind of person and there is a lot of expectation from the negotiations between brussels and london. but i have got to say looking at the specifics it is not clear where that logjam is going to be unlocked. it is not totally clear if enough has changed to allow a new deal. so the optics on that will matter with that caveat that it does not necessarily mean a solution. secondly, as you mention, there is the discussion with nicola sturgeon, scotland was my first minister, and mark drakeford, the first minister of oil, and that matters in terms of optics as well because it is a very public show that rishi sunak wants to do things differently from liz truss who did not speak to nicola sturgeon or mark drakeford at all in her period in downing street. i think rishi sunak wants to give the impression that he is trying to come up impression that he is trying
