this was the reaction of the sinn fein president gerry adams speaking at stormont a little bit earlierany money coming in given the history of hostility and conservative cuts was helped to offset all of that pressure on public services is a good thing. let me say that. secondly we have two other side of the deal, the price to be paid for keeping this tory government in power and remember tory government in power is not good for ireland, north or south. the dup have agreed to support the tory government and all the motions of confidence, on the queen's speech, on the budget, finance bills money bills and supply and appropriation legislation and estimates. all legislation and estimates. all legislation pertaining to british national security and to support legislation on brexit. that is the price for whatever is contained in this package. the first minister of wales, carwynjones, told my colleague huw edwards that the deal was unfair — and said more money should now be given to wales, scotland and the english regions. this is cash for votes. this is ten mps, their support being bought in

gerry adams has given a news conference.f a deal between the conservatives and the dup. we don't believe that any deal between the dup here and the english tories would be good for the people here. and any deal which undercuts in any with the process here, or the good friday agreement or other agreements, is one that has to be opposed by progressives. one of the main issues for sinn fein is that they would save the conservatives hedge their westminster wagons to the dup, it proves that james brokenshire can't act as an impartial broker in the stormont talks. mr brogan shura says he doesn't see the need for an independent chair. the 22nd ofjune is the final deadline for a deal to bring back power—sharing. if that doesn't happen, westminster will ta ke doesn't happen, westminster will take over running northern ireland, what is known as direct rule. politicians are back behind the talks table today. but they will be thinking about events on the other side of the irish sea. chris page, thank you. one of the biggest surprises of

gerry adams has said it would not be good for the people of northern ireland. the sdlp said that if there is an economic package as a result of the discussions in london thenit result of the discussions in london then it should reflect economic need not the dup‘s political priorities. both parties say it showed the british government cannot be an impartial broker at stormont. james brokenshire has says it could be separate to stabilising the government in stormont. a few months ago the mantra was that "brexit means brexit. " now, though, it's increasingly unclear what that means, and the eu is beginning to show signs of impatience. the eu's chief negotiator michel barnier urged london to start talks "very quickly" and appoint a negotiating team that is "stable, accountable and with a mandate." the european parliament's guy verhofstadt said the eu is growing impatient as it waits to learn the uk government's negotiating position. live now to gavin lee in strasbourg. the message from various we are ready. it is. they are ready and becoming impatient, those were t

gerry adams endorsed a campaign that decimated the country for 40 years.t strike a chord with people in scotla nd strike a chord with people in scotland and wales. it should be an important discussion, which may be guilty of why the queen's speech has been delayed. thank you very much for joining been delayed. thank you very much forjoining us. as hejust mentioned, the queen's speech, scheduled for next monday, has been delayed. we are not sure if that has ever happened again. as we said, a few days where expected, but it is royal ascot next week, so it may well be the following week. he brexit negotiations are still scheduled for that day. detectives investigating the london bridge attack have made another arrest. six other men remain in custody. projections for the parliamentary party suggest that they will get nearly 80% of the seats going to the new party four of macron. i asked them what their reaction was from those who earlier doted his ability? the amazing rise of him through the internet by his supporters and within a year, he has become this incr

he is very happy for senior republicans like gerry adams and is now a prominent member of the republicck when i was negotiating a deal with the ulster unionists back in 2010, i said they do not see why he talented northern ireland citizens should be excluded from politics. once the belfast agreement had been signed and brought huge benefits after huge stage by the governments and i thought the key thing about it would be that after that, the republicans would play a key pa rt that, the republicans would play a key part in british politics. there is no indication of that happening. the problem we have is our local level that. i am the problem we have is our local levelthat. i am sorry the problem we have is our local level that. i am sorry for interrupting you, but we are having a major problem with the sound. we are losing a lot of what you are seeing. if i can just are losing a lot of what you are seeing. ifi canjust make are losing a lot of what you are seeing. if i canjust make one are losing a lot of what you are seeing. ifi canjust make one last point, the dup said there were no r

the sinn fein president gerry adams has said no deal between the conservatives and the dup will be goods speaking ahead of talks aimed at restoring devolution which are due to begin at stormont this afternoon. if we do not believe that any deal could be good for the people here. and any deal which undercuts in any way the process agreements here is one which has to be opposed. that puts a huge bonus on the new president of ireland. i know this has already been expressed to the british prime minister. let's speak now to danny morrison, sinn fein's former communications director. he said these talks would undercut any prospect of getting the power—sharing agreement back up and running. it is a distraction. we believe the newly appointed secretary of state that he sides with the unionists on the likes of legacy issues. we think we know what the dup wants. that is exactly why the dup wants. that is exactly why the assembly fell apart at the end of last year. they had reneged on previous agreements. unless we get these previous agreements up and running, i cannot see any prospect of this goi

gerry adams of sinn fein said she was in breach of the good friday agreement.it? it was never going to be easy even without the question of a deal with the dup overshadowing this whole process. use various degrees of annoyance and anger from the parties as they came out after their bilateral meetings with the prime minister this afternoon. president of sinn fein gerry adams talking about the fact that he believes the government is in breach of the good friday agreement at the moment. i've just finished a meeting with the british prime minister and her secretary of state. we told her very directly that she was in breach of the good friday agreement and we itemised those matters in which she was dellatorre reorient default in relation to that agreement. —— or in default. the last person to come out was the deputy leader of the dup nigel dodds. he suggested that there was no reason they couldn't get on with the power—sharing executive even though there was no formal deal to keep this government in power in westminster. he was absolutely clear that he thought parti

gerry adams was asked several times in the last couple of days, now you have increased your representation sinn fein, i think one thing is significant. there is no power—sharing executive and there has not been for some time in northern ireland. it broke down for reasons we do not need to go into right now. the british government in whatever talk school or now after the election. they were suspended during the election. it is supposed to be an almost broke. this alliance with the dup will make that a little more difficult in any future talks with the british government sort of refereeing whoever the secretary of state for northern ireland maybe. in the middle. while the dup are in an alliance, even at a loose electoral alliance. that is the biggest paradox in my eyes. people who are imported there will now be part of the government. and it will make it more difficult to re—establish power—sharing in northern ireland, which is important or northern ireland right now. that is an interesting point you made about the economic agenda and the concerns aboutjobs and employment and so on because t

gerry adams, leader of sinn fein, said any deal should be opposed by nationalists.d the english tories would be good for the people here. and any deal on their cuts —— undercuts in any way the process here and the good friday and other agreements. we have a long—standing view that the reddish government are players, are partisan and have their own interests in this. in terms of whether arlene foster should stand to one side, that remains our decision and are subject to the talks we have. it doesn't become an issue unless we have a deal. on the surface, it looks as if the different parties are as far apart as ever. however, if you look carefully at their words and talk to people behind the scenes, there are signs of a very slight softening that may improve as the deadline ticks away. jonny dymond, thank you. some very important points made by jonny dymond, alistair ross, a formerjunior minister jonny dymond, alistair ross, a former junior minister and member of the stormont assembly with the dup joins me now. thank you for coming to talk to us. on the main point here

that was the only way i gained the trust of ian paisley, then leader of the dup, and gerry adams andof sinn fein. the only way i could do it. if those two were able to trust me as secretary of state and tony blair as prime minister, thenit and tony blair as prime minister, then it was possible to get them to begin to understand that they could work with each other, even though they had never exchanged any words with each other directly. so the northern ireland peace process and the good friday agreement process, which was bitterly hard—fought four, took over ten years to achieve, going back tojohn major's day, not just tony blair's heroic efforts, it is like carrying a glass of champagne on a high wire suspended between two mountains, it is a very delicate process, and there has been an unfortunate neglect by this conservative government, both under david cameron and under theresa may, of the crucially important role that number ten has and the british government has in making sure that the northern ireland process keeps moving forward, and ifear now the northern ireland process keep

gerri: adam, i'm sure watched every second of this as well. we did take out the funny statement.ut who what do you think is going to be the take away? what do you make of how democrats will react? >> the mainstream media is obsessed with the story line that doesn't add up. you are looking at the attorney general of the united states, former u.s. attorney for southern alabama, known for integrity, honor and telling it like it is, before a panel of his peers. i'm glad he stepped forward and responded to questions, and i thought he did it very well. but what this is is an example of what you have might call the alibi people in washington talk about instead of not talking about what they are not getting done. i think americans are seeing tonight that fashion, and they are ready for the business of america. and absurd allegations. >> if you want something more like cloak and dagger. have a hearing on uranium one. gerri: , a whole other kettle of fish, but we don't have time for it. what we are leaving on the table right now is tax reform, right? and the solution for obamacare which is

gerry adams not welcoming the deal with open arms.act, a bill of rights and a thing called a petition of concern which as a blocking mechanism that the dup have used to block for example the introduction of same—sex marriage shearer northern ireland. i would expect talking to go on and storm at through the night and by tomorrow morning we should at least have more idea if a deal is doable. thank you. the time is five 30 2pm. headlines any moment. he was the weather. it doesn‘t feel like the beginning of summer this week. tim beachis beginning of summer this week. tim beach is a below par and rain is on the way. it would reach us in the short term, the rest of this evening is looking fine but not necessarily in northern ireland. you are the clothes are increasing, the first area of whether closing in and buy six or seven o‘clock it is raining across the far north—west of the uk. for the majority of the country a dry and sunny evening. pleasant warm across the east and south—east. the rain sweeps across the country during the night. he

all the others, not just sinn fein, notjust gerry adams is the leader, but all the other parties havehe secretary of state and the prime minister can be neutral. that is really interesting, and i ta ke that is really interesting, and i take your point, you are not saying that this is specific to the dup. that said, i am curious what experience you have, what knowledge you have of some of the people who might negotiating here. nigel dodds, you may know little more of, what are your thoughts about the attack they will be taking and what they might be asking for? nigel dodds, the parliamentary leader, is a very seasoned negotiator, a tough one, extremely able. there are others in the team, ian paisleyjunior, a very bright and effective mp and representative of the dup. arlene foster, the leader, has been badly damaged over the past year by her handling of this renewable heating crisis. this precipitated the fall of the assembly. but nevertheless she is an able figure as well. they are tough negotiators, and they will demand a high price for this, because it is not compensated for them. t

those born fires will be figures of everyone from the poor up to the irish nationalists leader gerry adams maybe i'll get a dummy this year i did one year anyone that they hate anyone from a roman catholic background like me could end up on the bonfire they are linked to protestant part of military killers madrassas people who attacked people for no other reason than that they were catholics on mob of them earn have nice carpets they're actually the oddest group of people you could possibly imagine really starts. no there's no discourse and not a group a lot of at that point you have to try and bet a main as the election campaign and the way the media portrayed it was how could you possibly vote for this guy called been linked to sixty mists you know the fact that jeremy over many years has met with politicians from northern ireland and tried to build peace try to bring people to the process met with chen seen when no one else would speak to feed recognize that the nationalist community was being ignored and were being discriminated against he's always try to build peace while. it's in the

the westminster government and want to restore the devolved government, and the sinn fein leader gerry adamshere in the last hour or so. he has made it clear he is not at all happy about the prospect of a deal between the conservatives and the dup. we don't believe that any deal between the dup here and in the stories will be good for the people here. and any deal which undercuts in anyway the process here, or the good friday and the other agreements, is one which has to be opposed by progressives. so what of the main issues for sinn fein, they would say the fact that the conservatives are on the verge of pitching their westminster wagons to the dup shows that northern ireland's secretary james brokenshire can't act as an impartial broker in the talks process. mr brokenshire has said he doesn't see the need for an independence share at the moment and has also stressed the deadline for june 29 for these talks is absolutely the final in movable deadline and if there is no deal here by then then westminster will have to take over running northern ireland, direct road ministers as they are now o

leader of the dup and martin mcguinness, who became his deputy first minister, and his colleague gerry adamsnners in number ten under david cameron, obviously planning ahead for the last election in case he didn't getan for the last election in case he didn't get an overall majority, and it has continued since. i had personal, one—to—one discussions with james brokenshire, the secretary of state for northern ireland, and! secretary of state for northern ireland, and i expressed my concern also on the floor of parliament. you have got to be neutral. if the government and the prime minister depend on the dup, then all sorts of backroom deals will be done which could impact on the good friday process , could impact on the good friday process, could put it in jeopardy, and could destroy confidence amongst the other parties. i don't only mean sinn fein — the sdlp, the ulster unionists and the alliance party are all crucial to keeping this peace process going forward. let's talk practicalities, then, of that. so, if we are in a situation where it comes the stormont negotiations. the secretary of s

it seems to be ok for sinn fein to go to the dail and gerry adams who thankfully these days is pursuingl means is a member of the dail and would like to bea member of the dail and would like to be a member of a future republic of ireland government. if it's ok for them, i really don't see why unionists, and don't forget the belfast agreement enshrines in law the consent principles so northern ireland remains a paid up member of the united kingdom so long as it has the united kingdom so long as it has the consent of the people of northern ireland. and there is no prospect of triggering a border poll at the moment. the last poll i saw in 2016, the autumn 2016 showed a massive majority for remaining in the united kingdom so why shouldn't democratically elected members of the uk parliament participate fully and support the government of the uk? talking about supporting the government you're off to the 1922 committee meeting. what do you sense in terms of what mps are going to say to theresa may? the whole mood of that meeting. well, i probably better report back once we've had the meeting!

i don't think it is, it's because gerry adams has said, "this election is a barometer for a border pollinn fein regard this election, that if they do well, they will go to the secretary of state and ask for a border poll. i believe a border poll would be very destabilising. therefore, we have to respond to that. we can't sit on our hands and pretend it isn't happening. and yes, we are saying to the unionists, you need to turn out and vote, and why? because the union is important to pay for the health service, to pay for our schools, for all the public services. but they did turn out in march, you got 250,000 votes. and we are pushing for a greater turnout in this election and we will get it. and john o'dowd, whatever the result of the election, you will still push for the border poll? yes, we will campaign for the referendum because as i said earlier, partition has failed and we need to move forward to an alternative and we see that as an agreed ireland, a new ireland where unionists, nationalists, republicans and others have their rights protected in law but when jeffrey donaldson talk

on the political front, gerry adams says his party is against any deal between the conservative and northernreland's democratic in the nest party. -- democratic unionist party. fireandling of the london has been criticized with the premise are facing questions or not meeting locals when she visited the scene. the tragedy has highlighted divisions within british society, wealth and equality, and frustrations with the political establishment. all of this as brexit negotiations with the eu are due to begin on monday. still with us is mark burgess. we were talking a little bit, mark, about the underlying factors in the u.k. economy. the indicators fell short of expectations. given that and the political turmoil, would you stay away from the u.k.? mark: one has to remember the u.k. stock market is not the u.k. economy. one of the reasons the u.k. stock market has done so well post-brexit has been because it is not the u.k. economy and the currency has fallen, which has given profits a big kick. but underlying that, given how consumption is so important, and how confidence appears to be falling aw

then the sinn fein president, gerry adams, says that the dup, the unionist plot that mrs may wants tor stark statement from sinn fein. annita can join rather stark statement from sinn fein. annita canjoin us from northern ireland, just a few comments on that statement from sinn fein. when i look through what was said at that sinn fein news conference, it is clear that it is very much focusing on returning to the power—sharing assembly, at this building behind me, storm on. the 29th ofjune, that is the date coming up in the knot in the not too distant future for the party to nominate a first and deputy first minister and begin the process of getting a functioning assembly working again. there were all sorts of questions over whether that could happen in that time frame. because of the general election result and because of how the dup are in this position being kingmakers, potentially the party that can allow theresa may to govern for the conservatives. when we saw the dup earlier, of course, they had, i think it's fair to say, a slightly different take on what had been happening today

gerri: thanks so much for coming on with us. breaking news from the treasury department. adam shapiro has the details.reporter: it's the first of four reports the president wanted from the treasury department about simplifying the financial regulatory system. it will make small and community bank operators pleased if they go into place. the way to do that, taylor the regulatory approach and require great regulatory reform and cooperation and align regulations to support liquidity investment and lending. the dodd-frank stress test. if you have $10 billion in total assets you are subject to that stress test. the treasury is willing to raise it to $50 billion. i'm going to read from the report. the cca our qualitative assessment is too transparent and should be eliminated as the sole objection. bottom line in english. one of the proposals is that stress test threshold from $10 billion to $50 billion, that would free up community and smaller banks to lend. gerri: the small banks are responsible for getting so much money to small business. adamaging, thank you so much. less than a week after former f.b.i.
