that, thending majority of people in northern ireland voted to remain in the european union. the majority of the representatives elected to the ireland assembly want to remain in the custom union and single market. it is likely the majority of people living in northern ireland will remain european citizens after brexit because of the unique status under the good friday agreements, which allows them to be british citizens, hirer citizens or both -- irish citizens or both. the breakthrough achieved before christmas means the united kingdom is guaranteed that whatever the future relationship with the european union, a hard border on the island will be avoided. the common travel area and all associated rights that flow from it will be maintained. as the negotiations move forward in the face to, we look into -- phase two, we will rely on your solidarity to work what has been promised is delivered and practice. there can be no backsliding on this. it is important these commitments are fully reflected in the legal text of the withdrawal agreement, and firmly embedded in the u.k.'s fu

and that's how he tried to explain the value of the european union why it is so important to be together to really punch above its weight and then he also stressed something that for many european countries isn't that important anymore or at least it's not at the forefront of what people are thinking about in those countries anymore and that is the peace value that the european union has of course most of the conflicts in europe are far in the past and that's a good thing but not all of them and in ireland one of those conflict zones is very close the conflict between northern ireland and ireland and this is how you explained the value of the european union when it comes to peace between northern ireland and ireland. today there is a peace bridge crossing the river foyle bringing together the divided communities in john's native city of derry in northern ireland a great ship the european union helped to build. defriended hard to imagine the good friday agreement being made with as i shared membership of the european union and it's single market. and

and for my parted i hope that new relationship that exists between the united kingdom and european union is as close and deep as possible but consistent with the needs of the union to protect our internal markets and customs union. mr. president, i was born european, as had part of a new generation of political leaders who were born after our countries joined the european union or its predecessors. we treasure what has been achieved and share the vision of the founders for further entegration and cooperation. while i've always lived with it benefits, i've never taken them for granted. i very much granted what was hard won by past generations and what they sacrificed for us. that vision delivered peace in europe and opened the door to peace and prosperity in my own country. these values of solidarity, partnership which are central to the european project have brought ireland from the position of being one of the least developed states to one of the most prosperous today. and for us europe enabled our transformation from be on the prolifry to it common european home which we helped build.

we're leaving the european union, but we're not leaving europe. would you like to take a final question from the french media? reporter: translation: good evening. great britain is giving money and agrees to ta ke britain is giving money and agrees to take some migrants on its territory and migrants it was something expected for many months. you have agreed upon many of the... 0k. you have agreed upon many of the... ok. we will leave that press conference now. the two leaders taking a variety of questions, brexit of course, but also co—operation on security and on migrants on the other side of the channel. we can speak now to our chief political correspondent, vicky young, at sandhurst and listening to the whole press conference. what are the whole press conference. what are the main points you took away from that? well i think it was interesting, wasn't, it the tone of the whole thing. talking about all the whole thing. talking about all the shared interests of the two countries going back over many centuries. talking about all the areas of co—op

and the irish prime minister praises the european union as the peacemaker europe continues to need him with briggs it looming he calls on the e.u. to ensure brittany onus of its pledges on northern ireland to. me with. hello and welcome my name is christopher spring a good to have you with austria's youthful chancellor sebastian cortes is in berlin for talks with german chancellor angela merkel the meetings under close scrutiny for any divisions between the two that is with courts at the head of a controversial coalition with austria's anti immigration far right vienna has adopted a far tougher stance on migrants from berlin called. himself has been a vocal critic of man whose refugee policy was but to want to find common ground on improving the protection of europe's borders ahead of his trip the president called stressed that germany was an important partner for austria. the two leaders have been holding a press conference let's listen first to what michael had to say about the new austrian government. you know we will judge the new austrian government by its actions that's what i've

that is going on in spite of all the nationalism that we are experiencing at the moment in the european union because on a global stage all the big countries in the world all the biggest cities in the world are not european so globally and you said as much europe is the union of small countries and that's why everybody had to stick together and of course it is a piece project remains of peace project and nowhere else than in ireland and northern ireland you can see that more that it still helps maintain peace and i believe we have a sound bite on that. today there is a peace bridge crossing the river foyle bringing together the divided communities in john's native city of derry in northern ireland a bridge that the european union helped to build. defriended hard to imagine the good friday agreement being made without our shared membership of the european union and its single marcus' and in our land we are now having to contemplate our future without that foundation which underpinned it and made it possible. so you can really tell how important that is for ireland even more important this whol

mission to the european union for a total of five years so you know i do know european union and how it works and i also know that the european union is vague enough and complex enough and. indoor stringless i can't think of the un transparent enough i guess. that anyone can say when they want about the european union and you know there are facts that support that but the fact is that the european union is very much an organization that exists and was founded to. each piece on the european continent by building institutions into which nations pooled their sovereignty yeah and just because the nations are there you know in the council talking with each other does not mean that they haven't lost a lot of sovereignty to the european commission to the european parliament and to the way they act within the council as kind of half elected officials of their own government and the half european union officials it's much more complex than your correspondence us what is your take on that. very simple here there's the all the big decisions when it comes to defense when it comes to the crucial

don't think that that is the right call in these circumstances and i think we need a stronger european union but it's very important that the union will and i was very carefully what are those areas where integration these are really needed and economic growth potential creation of common market seen real single market it's not yet fully completed environmental protection. and security matters in a broad sense i think that in these areas the european union can play a major role and it's needed to small countries especially in europe they need to scale and the european union can provide that scale that force the reason why finland decided to join also single gabrial said that in order for europe to become politically stronger it needs to be even stronger in order to become more cyber and in that case to come i mean seven from russia's opinion from china as a painting from united states opinion do you feel like brussels should have more power than the national capitals in the european states because becoming stronger politically kind of means that as well i think it's a very critical question

is typical that old legacies play a week role in politics and it's not only in the european union the sense we are as well in the united states in russia in japan in china in many countries and i have to say that i'm coming from a small country i think sometimes those who have imperial history or history of the great successes in the history they don't fully understand the world is changing very fast and and we have to be able to to change the model of. operation or our concept in a way that it is in line with the with the context and if you look at the course you can develop and for example now the context we are living in with the next five to ten years it's dramatically going to be changed and if you're not wake up you don't understand what's going on and you are doing the wrong conclusions. you kind of so by you know there are other politicians who actually believe that technology will progress doesn't change the core human nature and that's why that should be fought in the first place i'm sorry to bring the chorus again from segment gavriel but i was hilarious he actually said th

and you know there are facts that support that but the fact is that the european union is very much an organization that exists and was founded to. each piece on the european continent by building institutions into which nations pooled their sovereignty yeah and just because the nations are there you know in the council talking with each other does not mean that they haven't lost a lot of sovereignty to the european commission to the european parliament and to the way they act within the council as kind of half elected officials of their own government and the half european union officials it's much more complex than your correspondents what is your take on that. very simple here there's the all the big decisions when it comes to defense when it comes to the crucial stuff they they are unanimous decisions we need twenty eight hands up and now it is right this is a is a complex enterprise about that is because you know you have things where for instance the european parliament can veto a decision but that does not infringe on the sovereignty of the of the nation state there are

we've got a huge market in cheese and what we're trying to do hey we show that once we leave the european union you'll have some great products european style never before has an e.u. country which is being monitored for corruption and unlawful policies by the e.u. been asked to run part of the e.u. well that is until tonight european union leaders met tonight in the bulgarian capital sofia as the country takes over the helm of the e.u.'s rotating presidency it's the first time bulgaria has held the post since joining the e.u. back in two thousand and seven the balkan nation in south eastern europe is hoping to use the chance to improve its image garia is the e.u.'s poorest member state and it is rape by transparency international as having the worst corruption in the e.u. so who would want to stay there were despite slow but steady economic growth many of vogue areas young people there packing their bags to find a better future outside ball game. the nine hundred centuries garion writer constantine off appears to gaze with confidence into the future but the mood in sofia could hardly be more d

when european union leaders have weighed in on a new british debate on whether to hold a second breaks at referendum saying that britain would be welcome to stay in the e.u. and we're addressing parliament and straw spring today european commission president john paul younger and the european council president oliver thomas said that if the country changed its mind britain was welcome to stay mr toes referenced a comment made by the u.k.'s breaks it minister david davis about the reversibility of the twenty sixteen referendum it. wasn't it's david davis. if that democracy can not change its mind it's just to be a democracy we haled a continent haven't had a change of heart our hearts are still open. thank heavens don't tell us there let's go now to our correspondent max often he is standing by in stross burg good evening to you max donald tusk saying the door is still open just just like our hearts how has britain's prime minister theresa may reacted to that offer the door to downing street concerning this matter seems to be closed the answer was quite clear in saying that the brits vo

lackeys of the european union?ber, theresa may making her own way to davos desperately needs eurosceptic support. her first challenge, as ever, keeping a handle on her own party. i'm very concerned about the bickering that is still going on on the government side. transitional arrangements are necessary and needed now and we need to agree them. the fact the government still does not have a settled position is deeply worrying. there is some clamour from the eu, too. by the end of the week the government will have shown a bit more of its hand, but as the prime minister joins herfellow leaders in switzerland tonight, there are multiple audiences she needs to keep onside. laura kuenssberg, bbc news. let's speak to our economics editor kamal ahmed, who's at the world economics forum in davos. theresa may has arrived. what reception can she expect tomorrow? i think this is not her natural habitat. rather dismissively people here are sometimes described as the global elite and speaking to business leaders they are baffled

don't think that that is the right call in these circumstances and i think we need a stronger european union but it's very important that the union will and i was very carefully what are those areas where integration these are really needed and economic growth potential creation of common market seeing real single market it's not yet fully completed environmental protection. and security matters you know broad sense i think that in these areas the european union can play a major role and it's needed smaller countries especially in europe they need to scale and the european union can provide that scale the reason why finland decided to join also single gabrial said that in order for europe to become. politically stronger it needs to be even if the political stronger in order to become more sever and in that case to come i mean sovereign from russia's opinion from china is a painting from united states a pain in do you feel like brussels should have more power than the national capitals in the european states because becoming stronger politically kind of means that as well i think it's a very

it is worth remembering that back in 2014, ukip won the european union elections in this country, whichly that was, but it has gone, i think ukip's time is over. 0k. let us go now to the financial times again and this time the us shut down. i thought this happened all the time. it has only happened four times all the time. it has only happened fourtimes in 25 all the time. it has only happened four times in 25 year, the difference one party the republicans are in control of both houses, so thatis are in control of both houses, so that is unusual. what is going on? they have failed to agree to roll over the agreement to keep funning the federal government. without that, it means that apart from the very basic law enforcement and the military, everything shuts down, they can't pay the wanes of people who work in it, and they don't have to work until that i do, they are going to meet again on monday so presumably the last shut down was 16 day, they will aim do better than that. it is interesting you say it has only happened four times in 25 yea rs, has only happened four times in 25 years,

i do believe we have a european union, and we will be, u nfortu nately, european union, and we will bedepends on you. i do respect this vote. i do regret it, andi respect this vote. i do regret it, and i would love to welcome you again. ican and i would love to welcome you again. i can see... and i would love to welcome you again. ican see... eurovision... and i would love to welcome you again. i can see... eurovision... my vision, in the very short run —— your vision. to be much more concrete, and less bureaucratic, to protect people and address their issues and our collective issues, concrete issues. but we have to prepare for a new organisation which could be the following. there will be 27 of us at eu level, and for me the mid to long run by definition is to gather some countries, within or in some corporation with this eu, let's say, but it will enlarge precisely to be and that will be a counterpart of turkey or russia. i don't know whether through corporation or through joining, but it should have a pillar of the single market, common values and rights, to be defended. that is th

a lot of people in ireland and also across the european union think that if a hard border were reintroduced be. i mean northern ireland and our lead this would cause a whole lot of problems maybe even conflict between the two unions the two countries . max hoffman for us here in strasbourg max thank you very much. now at home in austria he governs in a coalition with the far right party today sebastian cortes austria's new chancellor is in berlin for talks with america is anti immigration euro skeptic stance clashes with the german chancellor courts has been a vocal critic of michael's open door policy but the two will try to find common ground on the protection of the u.s. borders ahead of his trip to berlin quite stressed that germany is an important partner for syria. temper business with monica and the ops and downs of bitcoin yeah and right now it's down sue me cryptocurrency bitcoin has been in a freefall in the last twenty four hours by the end of last year it was trading close to fourteen thousand u.s. dollars now let's remember that at the beginning of twenty seventeen bitcoin was

some leverage with all parties that they could employ deploy rather it's too difficult for the european union representing so many countries to be able to make a decision which is so controversial so i think that we will see european policy makers encouraging individual countries to take steps that empower the palestinian authority that recognize props. the state of palestine they talk about i know the czech republic prime minister had said that in the future in the framework of a peace agreement the czech republic would be happy to recognized east jerusalem as the capital of palestine in west jerusalem as the capital of israel i think this is in fact the official position of russia it's will that in the future in an agreement on a two state solution that is truism could be the capital palestine in west jerusalem the capital of israel well that's the position of many countries the the irony and the shame is that no country is making a decisive step to make that theoretically arrangement in reality mr buckley we have to take a very short break now but we'll be back in just a few minutes stay t

i softened house and european union reacted. the official line of the european union also for a long time has been they want a two state solution yes but they want to have a negotiated result of that so they would probably be ok with the part where mahmoud abbas says we need to restart the peace process we need to start negotiating probably not so with the other part that you mentioned but they did say that they want the debate to continue here in brussels to find a solution how to kick start the peace process again we've heard that many times so unclear what that really means to give mahmoud abbas something to take home with them they said that they would invision to have an association agreement with the palestinian territories which would give them a better access for the goods that they produce there and they also reiterated what you said at the beginning fill that east jerusalem should be the capital of a palestinian state but as i just said a palestinian state can only exist if it's the result at least in the eyes of the e

since the european union has admitted, rightly so, that it is not part of any military activity, it's military alliance. but on the economic side it has so far limited its participation, its contribution to a share of humanitarian aid. when you say a share, it is by far the largest done —— donor of humanitarian aid. we're talking about more than 10 billion euros, $12 billion. but for reconstruction, a conservative estimate, according to the un special envoy to syria staffan de mistura, is $250 billion. why should they be paying for that now when russian planes are still bombing syria? what the russian planes have been doing, throughout the over two years of russia's involvement in combating terrorism there inside syria, has been destroying the facilities of isil and al—nusra, which are designated by the united nations as terrorist organisations. and been involved in bombing hospitals. there is no record of any deliberate bombing of hospitals. it is a fact that those terrorist organisations have been using civilian facilities, hospitals, schools even, as shields and also as their own h

initiatives i mean two that they rebalance the economic dimension with the social dimension in the european union a serious also also off legal initiatives i mean to. force a bit of the european to support european social mobility that was more or less dismantling during the crisis and the austerity policy so there is a chance probably this is the moment when we can really catch the momentum for changing i mean for moving to a different model and can you tell me given the current scenario in the in the world and particularly here in davos we're talking about dealing with a fragmented world is solidarity among those in the labor movement as important as it's ever been given the current circumstances. where you know there's been a trend in the last years to come back to the nation of naming sure i mean for fear maybe for let's say. three show not to be able to influence of the international decision in the globalized war dummy but you know this is not a solution in this globalized warding the globalized economy we need even more international easements of the of the of the of the labor movement tha

mostly because the european union is not sufficiently a union in foreign policy what makes you believe that even if your strength and the mechanisms of integration if you make them more formal that there is a tendency is will be arraigned then because there is you know as we know in politics there is always a formal way but when the formal way doesn't work you can always say this is not a matter for mal it is this is a matter. sharing decisions and their food in making these decisions. only through the necessary consensus has been reached around the european union the decision to turn. libya could not have been taken what can i tell you believe me i have no other because this is a counterfactual history and history is another one but i'm still convinced that there really. is very useful to reduce their aggressive propensity but it was not the head that that's the thing it was not an act of aggression i think back in two thousand and eleven it was seen as a humanitarian intervention and it was actually something good it was basically eliminating gadhafi so you don't think it was

because it's part of the whole financing of our european union. change in terms of full access to the financial single market, it doesn't make sense for the others. so i want to preserve what we created post—world war, and what we created is this sophisticated organisation called the european union, which is for the very first time not a hegemony of one over the others, but a very concrete democratic, economic construction. why do you think the british voted to leave this sophisticated structure? look, i'm not the one to judge or to comment on the decision of your people, but my interpretation is that a lot of losers of this new globalisation and this new system suddenly decided that it was no more for them. you always take a risk when you have such a referendum — just yes or no in a very complicated context. if france had had a referendum it might have had the same result? yeah, probably. in a similar context, but our context was very different, so i don't want to make any... i mean, to take any bets, but i would have definitely fought very hard

i would say that we are in for cooperation, both with a european union countries and with a european es and others. but in the case of the united states it takes two to tango and in the case of the european union it takes 29, so far. thank you for coming on hardtalk. following hot on the heels of the stormy weather yesterday that brought wind gusts of 83 miles an hour to eastern england, the focus today is on the snow. the satellite pictures shows snow showers to the north—west and here is a little trough, a cold front that enhances the amount of snow, the frequency and heaviness of snow showers. where it is going? western scotland, arriving in time for the morning rush—hour. you could see further disruption here with significant accumulations of snow. it could be one of those mornings. certainly worth checking the condition of the roads before heading out on a journey in this part of the world. northern ireland will see snow showers, causing problems out and about and if is it is not slowed then there is the risk of ice. further south, showers across southern wales and england, many

course the contribution not just about those small number of nations which are members of the european union it's about the forty seven member the come to your bear in the great european area but what about all these breaches of the rules of the convention and human rights manifest that many of the member states i mean a lot of concentration on russia but if you could look at tough came we could lose recently spain fairly frequent violations of the of the european convention and then you have a title task it was the council get up doing about this violation of its own findings that people should not consider that in all these violations take place only in new emerging countries i mean violations frequently because there's been one or two investigations in the u.k. in practices in there and of course there is on a continuous basis throughout the european area but you know it's a balanced what you do about that how you train our you help do you jim you say you're a member and therefore go on because there are different systems different values case and we hear the voices in the u.k. saying loo

some leverage with all parties that they could employ deploy rather it's too difficult for the european union representing so many countries to be able to make a decision which is so controversial so i think that we will see european policymakers encouraging individual countries to take steps that empower the palestinian authority that recognizes props. the state of palestine they talk about i know the czech republic a prime minister had said that in the future in the framework of a peace agreement the czech republic would be happy to recognized east jerusalem as the capital of palestine in west jerusalem as the capital of israel i think this is in fact the official position of russia as well that in the future in an agreement on a two state solution the.

to the european union. to. the e.u.itutions see a window of opportunity to resolve many of europe's most pressing problems but the window of opportunity might not be as large as many people are hoping for and that's mainly due to that woman that you can see behind the flags of the german chancellor. in many ways she's still the queen of europe of course but as long as she doesn't have a governing coalition in berlin her hands are pretty much tied to. the man who's blowing wind into the sails of a reformed european union is french president michel going to let these given many speeches express many ideas and grand visions for two thousand and eighteen and beyond the critically one of them establishing a real european monetary fund to support countries that need help to avoid bankruptcy like greece in thousand two. and ten. another one giving the eurozone its own budget to invest and absorb economic shocks overall my call is calling for much deeper european integration. but not everybody is on board with that at all there

, for example, a huge amount of trade in the european union, a lot of trade from the european union intohe financial capital of europe. those sectors that are most intertwined with europe were those that were most concerned. uncertainty was rife, but there were further complications to come. i have just chaired a meeting of the cabinet, where we have agreed that the government should call a general election to be held on the 8th ofjune. the conservative party thought this would give them a bigger majority in parliament, and a stronger hand going into negotiations with the eu. the gamble didn't pay off. big ben chimes. and what we are saying is the conservatives are the largest party — note they don't have an overall majority at this stage. in the past half—hour, the prime minister has apologised to colleagues after losing a parliamentary majority and having to depend on support from the democratic unionists. i obviously wanted a different result last night, and i am sorry for all those colleagues who lost their seats, who didn't deserve to lose, and of course i'll reflect on what happene

. >> to deliver trade between the uk and european union, 80% of welsh exports in the uk maintaining the integrity of priority. >> questions for the prime minister. >> mister -- mister speaker, i have been asked to reply. my right honorable friends, the prime minister, is in china building on ties between our two countries and accompanied by the largest business delegation this government have yet led. >> mister speaker. a number of employees live in my constituency and an apprenticeship, some uncertain future. will the government act on future corporate theft where they are siphoned off hundreds of millions of pounds in pension contributions for dividends and assistance to themselves, what options the government purports? >> mister speaker, the anxiety must be affecting the apprentices and their families, the honorable gentlemen's consistency, in last week's debate, the construction industry training board, taken responsibility for finding alternative employers to enable all those apprentices with karelian to continue and complete their qualifications. and i shall certainly ensure t

there is a great convergence within the european union, once the refugees are in the union. we do not yet have any unified opinion on this, but we are working on it. and it brings me to the challenge. only if we are economically strong will we have the necessary strength to forge such a corporation of ethics. this is the essence. it's very important. we have a great debt. from colonial times vis-a-vis africa. there are different levels of prosperity. this compact with africa for a very good reason was called a compact with africa because we don't want to have -- we want to be at eye level with our african partners. and we want them to also share in the prosperity of the world. it is a completely new development in the corporation. there is one problem. let me come back to europe. we regret the u.k. will not be a member of the european union for long. tomorrow, you will receive my colleague theresa may. it for germany and for all of us, we want to have a good partnership. we will be very clear as regards to the question connected to the exit. the single market, it will be the

the man who's blowing wind into the sails of a reformed european union is french president michel goingfit he's given many speeches and express many ideas and grand visions for two thousand and eighteen and beyond the critically one of them establishing a real european monetary fund to support countries that need help to avoid bankruptcy like greece in thousand two. ten. another one giving the eurozone its own budget to invest and absorb economic shocks overall my call is calling for much deeper european integration. but not everybody is on board with that at all there is resistance in germany among others for example and it seems like some of the old fault lines are becoming visible again three g. and a foot fault lines between spending and austerity but also between the west. and east especially on migration the e.u. institutions want a comprehensive deal on asylum and relocation until june but hungary's viktor orbán is still unwilling to accept refugee quotas and he has allies that. we should concentrate on issues where we feel that they be a ready to reach an agreement it would be a

cheek mistake and you mentioned the europeans on doing it i think this is so important that the european union continues those sanctions would it help that also the united states will follow the europeans about sanctions against russia i think the cohesion of the alliance. is the most important factor of deterrence and that's what i saw coming out of the defense minister was last week our great secretary defense and journals cooperating and the other leaders of the alliance so unified to me that's what is most important and so i'm very satisfied with so let let's speak about these things a little bit more concretely there are no signs that russia is leaving crimea what steps do you suggest to force them out so i think i might disagree with you you know russia has come up publicly and said hey we think maybe there ought to be a peacekeeping force here that whatever that peacekeeping force looks like or whatever the fact that they're asking for that i think indicates that you know they don't want to see this last forever. i think that the. they were surprised i think by how well the ukrainians o

the most competitive country demoed country the most technologically and digital country in the european union they created an enormous number of jobs quality jobs and at the same time they have integrated two hundred fifty thousand migrants they have the highest ratio between migrants and not eve citizens in the ward i mean of course sweden is a very small country i mean comparably to other countries i mean eight to ten million not eve city since amy and they have integrated not only welcome because you know it's not only a matter of welcoming people and putting them in attempts i mean seen in several countries i mean the problem is that first you have to create economic environment to to integrate them and then you have to put in place policies for integration that means languages their language teaching that means providing good jobs i mean that corp with the skills that these people are improving their skills if needed i mean and then created also a societal environment that is really helpful i mean not to create tensions but on the contrary to create an amalgam i mean some kind of will. a

some leverage with all parties that they could employ deploy rather it's too difficult for the european union representing so many countries to be able to make a decision which is so controversial so i think that we will see european policy makers encouraging individual countries to take steps that empower the palestinian authority that recognizes perhaps the state of palestine they talk about i know the czech republic prime minister had said that in the future in the framework of a peace agreement the czech republic would be happy to recognized east jerusalem as the capital of palestine and west jerusalem as the capital of israel i think this is in fact the official position of russia as well that in the future in an agreement on a two state solution that could be the capital palestine in west jerusalem the capital of israel well bad for the position of many countries and the they are any and the shame is that no country is making a decisive step to make that theoretically arrangement in reality mr busking we have to take a very short break now but we'll be back in just a few minutes stay tu
