gavin robinson, the leader of the dup. we invited the leader of the dup.e invited the sinn fein leader and the party tonight is represented by chris hazzard. colum eastwood is a leader of the sdlp and the leader of the alliance party is naomi long. and we also invited the of the ulster unionists, the deputy leader, robbie butler, completes the line—up. on the order they are positioned in was determined by the drawing of lots. the questions come from our studio audience. largely made up of grassroots party supporters from across all parties standing in northern ireland. we also have a number of undecided voters. at home, join the discussion on social media. a hashtag is #bbcnidebate. i should point out the team of bbc news correspondents are fact checking this debate on the news nite website. let's get started. question one comes from kellie cowen, an electrical engineer from belfast. how do the parties justify voting to cut the health service budget by £184 million? very good first question. sinn fein, you hold the finance ministry, this is your budget. ju

well, there are three, i guess, main unionist parties standing the up, the dup and the tuv.vours of unionism, if you like. and they're all calling for the removal of what they say is the irish sea border. now after brexit, although obviously it impacted the entire of the uk in its entirety, of course it did. northern ireland was a little bit different, as we often are, because we're the only part of the uk that shares a land border with part of the eu, the republic of ireland. so there had to be, you knnow, a lot of toing and froing, a lot of organising about how goods were going to pass between northern ireland and gb. if we talked about how all that got settled, we would honestly be here for two or three days, but at the moment we have the windsor... yeah, we do. we have the windsor framework. you know there's been so many things, we have the northern ireland protocol, we do have the windsor framework. and that has left, unionists say, a border in the irish sea. they're not happy about that. they think that that sees northern ireland treated differently than the rest of th

another pro—brexit party, the traditional unionist voice, is accusing the dup of compromising too much they wanted. that's the problem. but the brexit they wanted could never be delivered. the whole cohesion of the union has been damaged because of brexit, but the irish sea border needs to go. irish nationalists ultimately want to remove another border — the land frontier with the republic of ireland. they argue that most people in northern ireland would want to rejoin the eu and irish unity is the only way to do it. i don't think it's likely, given the political context, particularly in england, that any government will rejoin the european union. i genuinely believe that will be very difficult to get back into the european union as full members while we're still part of the uk. in recent years, sinn fein has become the first nationalist party to win the most seats in councils and the devolved assembly. it says brexit has caused too much blockage. people want to see us move forward. people want to see that strong leadership. the positive change in their communities. unionists say they

let's listen to some of what the dup leader gavin robinson had to say. from our doorstep conversations that our message is getting through and it's resonating. it's clear that voters in every constituency are alive to the big issues of the campaign, and they know that it's teams from this party that are knocking doors and having real engagement. voters can tell the difference between those who have been fighting for them and can win for them and those that can't win and don't care if they splinter the pro—union vote and reduce the number of pro—union mps representing northern ireland in our parliament. the publication of our manifesto marks ten days to polling day on the lith ofjuly. voters will face a clear choice. the choice made in ten days' time, will determine who will go to parliament and whether they will be representatives, unashamedly making the case for northern ireland, wanting to promote it and doing what is best for it. or will there be representatives who won't go? or who will spend their time talking northern ireland down? and make no mist

they prorate the dup for being who to call implementers.on the right of the dup and would not be over protocol and for mentors that has created a particularly messy situation for the unionist voice and it turns out this tie up with reform uk seems to have backfired on them.— backfired on them. we've been talkin: backfired on them. we've been talking as _ backfired on them. we've been talking as well _ backfired on them. we've been talking as well about _ backfired on them. we've been talking as well about what's - talking as well about what's happening in france with the president they're calling the snap election try to draw people to the middle ground, the centre and saying stop looking at the extremes here. there is a danger that was so much division in uk politics right now and we have heard a lot from the conservatives about splitting the vote and that would allow kirsch number that super majority and we've also discussed the danger here that people are voting on very specific individualistic things but in looking perhaps at the whole.

the dup came out today.were trying to make it into something , and it was the first bit of real fizz that i've seen in politics so far, and they were pointing to all the things they had achieved and how much more they do have to do, but of course they're up against it in some of these constituencies, because there is multiple unionist parties standing and where there was a huge majority at one stage, we're now down to what was known as vote shredding . and of course, gavin robertson, the leader of the dup . well, he took to the stands, spoke very well about where his party was going. but on the 3rd of july, the former leader of the dup will appear in court, for those accusations that took him out of the leadership in the first place. so right on the eve of polling, they will have that to deal with as well. so a hard run for the dup, they have the alliance party in areas such as east belfast, east antrim and lagan valley . that will push lagan valley. that will push them hard. but overall a pretty good manife

it is pro—remain and it's strongly challenging the pro—leave dup in some of their strongholds. its place in the eu — could be changing the face of politics here. the brexitjourney has taken northern ireland in a different direction to the rest of the uk and the final destination is still uncertain. at this music festival, people say there have been years of political disharmony since the referendum. there was a lot of misinformation that maybe led to a vote that people didn't want. northern ireland really isn't capitalising on the position that we're in, being the link between the uk and the rest of europe. i feel like that's been a completely wasted opportunity. northern ireland is in the unique position of having full access to the eu and british markets. but there's also been a trade border in the irish sea — checks on goods arriving here from great britain. that led the democratic unionist party to veto the formation of a power—sharing devolved government for two years until a new agreement four months ago. it's not a job done, but it's significant work progress and we're g

, won current leader of the dup, won by 1900 votes?in there, well of course that will come down much further. and quite possibly the alliance party could take that seat. the same thing will happen in east belfast and in areas like east antrim and again in fermanagh, south tyrone . but that brings us south tyrone. but that brings us then on to the nationalist side of the electorate, where, of course, sinn fein, just lost an amazing amount of support in the repubuc amazing amount of support in the republic of ireland during those eu and local council elections because mainly of their stance on immigration and their opposition to the rwanda deal. i mean, i've been talking to republicans out and about, and they're all telling me the same thing, that they would quite like a rwanda deal. not all of them, but quite a few of them who i was actually surprised to hear saying that because, of course, northern ireland is a very small country. it only has about 2 million people in it, and our services now are completely stretched. and then we have

the democratic union party or dup also unveiled their plans.sto marks ten days to polling day. and make no mistake , the outcome of this election will matter. the democratic unionist party has the strength and the depth to be able to unashamedly make the case for northern ireland. we go to parliament and we make that case on your behalf. the dup has an experienced track record of working for you on the issues that matter , whilst others talk that matter, whilst others talk about delivery . about delivery. >> well, let's let's cross live now to our northern ireland reporter dougie beattie for more. dougie, this election of course, is taking against a backdrop where we have for the first time the first minister in northern ireland, who is not from the unionist side of the equafion. equation. >> entirely correct, andrea. and really, that comes about because of one of the questions that i have asked all the unionist parties here is the shredding of votes . there is, to many votes. there is, to many unionist parties standing in these elections in wha

the mention of dup dates back to the 19th century, all the way back. came to him to ask for a happy family life. it’s a pity, but the oak tree was not preserved in its original form; it was hit by lightning, but even what was left of it probably has magical powers. a park dressed in a bogryan of autumn colors, an ancient estate immersed in the gold of fallen foliage, at this time of year, there is a special atmosphere here that you so want to enjoy and which you are so eager to catch. using these paintings, more than one generation will study our history, the history of this beautiful park and many more interesting objects of the belarusian capital. minsk has been painted at all times, its history seems to come to life on the canvases of artists, and it is different, familiar with its pristine beauty of past centuries and unknown, here are the first buildings, brisk trade, narrow streets, the first churches. the tradition continues today when a generation of contemporaries strives to capture objects that have become symbols of modern belarus. in terms

the dup have brought their manifesto out. what's in it?o be honest. but they launched this morning at danny blanchflower stadium , trying to blanchflower stadium, trying to put a bit of fizz into what has otherwise been a very flat election for everyone here. and i'm not too sure why that is. martin, was it that we've already had councillor elections? we've had mla elections, or was it the just a short period of time, or is it the fact that people cannot be bothered with politicians anymore? it really does have that feeling in northern ireland at this moment in time. that feeling in northern ireland at this moment in time . sinn at this moment in time. sinn fein launched earlier on in the week the tuv reform launched last friday, and the dup today on, their role and what they have brought to northern ireland. broadband with that theresa may conference supply deal theresa may conference supply deal. many of the roads that were brought in because of that money, they've they've really went down the route of look at what we've done rather than

the tuv, party and the dup. reason that i'm going down that road is, as i've been out around the province, the one thing that unionist voters are very, very clear, clearly are asking for is unionist unity. now back in our day when we were voting, and you will remember this well, eamonn, you had two major parties. you had the ulster unionist party and you had the sdlp. and when the 1998 good friday agreement was signed, lots of those smaller parties started to come in from the sides and, and after the election, i think it was in 2004, 2005, david trimble, the then leader of the ulster unionist party, lost his seat and the collapse of the ulster unionist party started at that stage, and the dup became the largest party, as did sinn fein passing the sdlp , and most of passing the sdlp, and most of these parties are now facing real problems to decide what their policies will be and having to give real policies to the people. the dup are facing problems over the framework document and sinn fein are facing problems ov

dup and sdlp launched their manifestoes yesterday.eel like things are getting up and running in a northern ireland with seven days to go. audience members you can see behind me, some of them will be asking questions of those political leaders. and i for listening into some of the discussions, some of the snippets. we can, i hope, give you an idea of the issues of her discussion. health service is a big one in northern ireland. waiting lists are the longest in the u.k. here. i'm waiting discussions of what is happening in the middle east, how norther ireland is funded, and trust in politicians. i've heard a few audience members talk about that. you can watch that debate on the bbc news channel at 9:00 and also -- how all of that is discuss this evening. christian: thank you very much indeed. let me take you to georgia, atlanta -- atlanta, georgia -- where president biden come down the steps of air force one. he's about to be transferred to cnn studios for tonight's live televised debate. he has been in a debate prep. last few days at c

i encourage you to join our on the air, because one of them will be in touch with us, olga dup busenchaudnd mr. yevgeny, how do you see their chances? first of all, i wish our compatriots victory, and i will say that their presence already raises the ukrainian issue, because, i am sure, they constantly emphasize ukraine, for once. secondly, in 5 years there will be many more ukrainian men and women on these lists of candidates for the european parliament. this is also an obvious fact. but i think that our main question and our main, well, merit or not, but one of the main facts is the fact that the ukrainian issue is loud in europe , and we can actively, i would say, operate on it and draw attention to what is happening in our country, that is, we should draw attention, for example, today, yes, today is the normandy anniversary, the landing of allied troops in normandy, and we must say in this context that as 80 years ago, americans and other european soldiers, there, well, canadians and others, landed in order to defeat nazism on the territory of europe, so we have joint efforts break ra

northern ireland up for grabs at westminster, and the way that all work out last time, it's all the dupbehind with seven, the sdlp had two and alliance had one. as you can see, final preparations are here under way in the studio where this evening's northern ireland leaders debate will be taking place. studio and audience members are taking their seats, and we know the politicians, the leaders are in the building — they may not be quite asjovial as are in the building — they may not be quite as jovial as the audience and for ours, but i think it's fair to say it's been quite a lackluster campaign here in northern ireland so far. even on the party —— all the parties must make manifest have been quite low—key. there's been no surprises, it's been all issues that have been rehearsed by the parties again and and the uup and sdlp launch their manifestos just yesterday — so it only feels things are getting up and running here with seven days to go. you can see the audience numbers behind me, some of them will be asking questions of those political leaders, and i've just been listening in on s

again, another hung, with the dup back in 2010.his is really is a wish list for the liberal democrats. nothing more than that. and when you ask ed davey aside, what's the point of it all? he says he wants to create local champions, maybe as many as 50 local champions who can fight for individual people, individual communities when they're elected . so yeah, but they're elected. so yeah, but i think ed davey he's having fun. he's at thorpe park, he's doing the rides. he wants to show there's fun in politics, but also a degree of seriousness. and the big story, i think the big issue might be for, viewers and listeners of gb news is if they get anywhere near power, they get anywhere near power, they want to get a lot closer to they want to get a lot closer to the european union, maybe the single market where we take the rules, but we don't make them. >> brexit, the ultimate roller coaster ride. and here we are once again, talking about it. chris hope, always a delight to have you on the show live there from thorpe park. now the parent

perhaps an official coalition or if not a confidence and supply agreement, like theresa may had with the duphat would happen about brexit. as we know, the liberal democrats are now saying very openly that they would be happy to rejoin the eu, rejoin the single market. keir starmer was a huge rejoiner back in the day , but he's cast off in the day, but he's cast off that cloak altogether and now sounds like a serious brexiteer. he's done that to try and get the red wall back on side. what would happen if he had to go into some sort of a pact with ed davey? could we end up in a situation where britain would be rejoining the single market? this is all very theoretical at the moment. labour is 25 or so points ahead in the polls, and it looks like they're heading for a pretty big majority. but everything could change in the next three weeks, very much to olivia utley katherine forster and christopher hope. >> all out and about for us this morning. appreciate it. >> the princess of wales is, we heah >> the princess of wales is, we hear, may be making a surprise appearance at the trooping of the co
