there is a joint investigation with the integrity unit which is an independent body, they are now looking designer drugs which cannot be detected, they said they are a real challenge in the sport of athletics which is why they rely on these type of investigations. and man has been arrested in connection with an arrested in connection with an arrested hate crime against raheem sterling at the weekend. police had been investigating reports he was racially abused and attacked after arriving at training, the club has not yet commented. craig overton says he believes the england side are not far off winning games despite having just lost the ashes to australia. he went off with a cracked rib as they lost the third test in perth and he is a major doubt for the fourth game in melbourne, 3—0 down in the series, the spectre of another 5—0 whitewash down under are now haunts england. it in the background but we are confident that we have been competing in this series and not been that far off winning games. they have just performed better and for longer periods than as. we know what we‘ve got to do

we will do that while we respect the constitutional integrity of the united kingdom. and while we respect the internal market and protect the internal market of the united kingdom. those neighbor members who , that is the whole point of the second phase of the negotiations.

united nations is supposed to be about. standing here today, being force to defense integrity of my country, the united states of america, many of the same thoughts come to mind. the united states is by far the single largest contributor to the united nations and its agencies. we do this in part to advance her values and interests. when that happens our participation in the un produces great good for the world. together we see, close, and educate desperate people. we hold out machines accountable. we do this because it represents who we are, it is our american way. but, we will be honest with you, when we make generous contributions to the un, we also have a legitimate expectation that are good willis recognized and respected. when a nation is singled out for attacking this organization, that nation is disrespected. what's more, that nation is asked to pay for the privilege of being disrespected. in the case of the united states, we are asked to pay more than anybody else for that privilege. unlike in some un member countries, the united states government answers to its people. as such, we have an obligation to acknowledge wh

belfast agreement and in doing so we will continue to preserve the constitutional and economic integrity of the united kingdom. but e.u. chief brecht's negotiator michel barnier says sorting out the store on the issue will need special talks to citizens. in northern ireland's democratic unionist party has stood in the way of an agreement so far their support is vital to may's minority government and even now they're not satisfied with what's been agreed so far. but the talks can still proceed from here that's the e.u. leaders sign off on the deal at a council summit next week. joining me now is quentin peel he's at up on a mentor studious quentin is in alice with the ukip think tank chatham house welcome quentin is this a right to call this agreement that they've come up with in brussels as a breakthrough. it is a breakthrough but still quite a modest one because the really heavy lifting or lies ahead what is going to be the long term relationship between the united kingdom and europe but nonetheless the three questions which they had to settle in advance were all very difficult ones there's one the f

and in doing so, we will continue to observe the constitutional and economic integrity of the united the early hours of this morning, the prime minister made a dash to brussels and sealed a deal on phase one. but was there a lot more give than take? and has she just parked the northern ireland problem in the long—stay car park? we ask one keen brexiteer. we've opened up the negotiations to talk about that future partnership deal, and the win—win of that deal on trade and security cooperation and all those other things is within sight. so i think it vindicates the prime minister's approach. i listened to michael gove and boris johnson today, and thought, were we on the same side?! i simply couldn't believe it. i will say this to you — i think within the next 48 hours, you will hear a lot more conservative voices who perhaps kept quiet this morning saying, actually, they're not happy with what's happened today. but does the hard work start here? the battle lines have been drawn for phase two, then. the eu's demand for a level playing field, and the trend towards a softer brexit anyway,

belfast agreement and in doing so we will continue to pursue the constitutional and economic integrity of the united kingdom. max often joins me for more unless the irish border issue almost led to the collapse of these talks so what led to this brics one what has changed. the big question we're all asking ourselves and rita is is this really a big breakthrough and you need to look at the paper here of course they want to avoid a hard border to reason may said so but there are only two known ways of doing this lets you get really creative and the first one would be to align the u.k. and the e.u. concerning the e.u. rules on trade being basically part of the customs union like switzerland like norway if you do this then it begs the question why did you leave the e.u. in the first place and that's certainly something the braggs it's yours won't want so the second possibility is only to align northern ireland to the e.u. rules and that way you push the border from inside ireland the irish island at least outside of ireland but that is something that the d u p doesn't want they are part of the governmen

belfast agreement and in doing so we will continue to preserve the constitutional and economic integrity of the united kingdom but the e.u.'s chief brecht that negotiator michel barnier says sorting out this the money issue will need special talks. until now northern ireland's democratic unionist party had stood in the way of an agreement their support is vital to may's minority government now despite reservations the d u p has agreed to move ahead with this part of the deal it means trade talks can now get underway that's if e.u. leaders sign off on the deal at a council summit next week. german social democrats are meeting in berlin to consider what he issues they want to take into talks as anglo-american on forming the country's next government party leader martin schulz stressed the role of germany in europe pledging to push for reforms that would have. lead to a united states of europe. delegates voted on thursday for coalition talks with merkel's conservatives will start next week after more than two months since germany's elections to w.'s thomas sparrow spoke exclusively with martin shields an

belfast agreement and in doing so we will continue to pursue the constitutional and economic integrity of the united kingdom. but e.u. chief brecht's negotiator michel barnier says so sing out the stone the issue will need special talks to citizens. in northern ireland's democratic unionist party has stood in the way of an agreement so far that support is vital to may's minority government and even now they're not satisfied with what's been agreed so far. but the talks can still proceed from here that's the e.u. leaders signed off on the deal a council summit next week are let's get you more now from our correspondent in brussels a modest who's reporting on this story extensively both sides are saying this as a breakthrough was actually chafe since monday. well if we look at the key subject here the question of a hard border or the regulatory alignment that is apparently guaranteed now by the british side in case there is no better deal after breakfast on the table nothing much has changed and the real difference here is now that the unionists in northern ireland so the party who are the part of the

united kingdom is leaving the european union, leaving the single market, leaving the customs union. i think that is a very important statement to have and it is vitally important of course the integritywe would like to see clarified. we ran out of time essentially. we think we needed to go back again and talk about those matters but the prime minister has decided to go to brussels in relation to this text and she said she has done that in the national interest. that is the view of the dup. the idea is government said their red line was they wanted to guarantee that there would not be a return to any checkpoints on the land frontier between the irish republic and northern ireland. they acknowledge the details could not be worked out until the next phase of brexit talks. they wanted to guarantee that no matter what happens in the next stage, there would not be a hardening of the border so in dublin this morning leo varadkar gave the agreement the thumbs up this morning. we have achieved all that we set out to achieve in phase one of these negotiations. we have the assurances and guarantees we need from the united kingdom, and support for them from the european union. i'm satisfied that

will he confirm that this week, the integrity of the united kingdom comes first, and if necessary, noictionless border is one that is best dealt with in the next phase, phase two. that is notjust my view, but the view of the taoiseach, who said on august 20, i think the suggestion has been made, and toa think the suggestion has been made, and to a certain extent, it is common sense. it would be much easier to sort out any border between ireland and northern ireland. indeed, isuddenly between ireland and northern ireland. indeed, i suddenly realised the right honourable gentleman opposite also said the same thing. to be fairto opposite also said the same thing. to be fair to david davis, he is right on issues like northern ireland. there is only so far you can go before you move the next phase. ifi phase. iflam to phase. if i am to accommodate a significant numberof if i am to accommodate a significant number of colleagues, there is a premium on brevity, which is always brilliantly exempt the fight by the right honourable gentleman for leeds central, mr hilary benn. thank you very much

belfast agreement and in doing so we will continue to preserve the constitutional and economic integrity of the united kingdom we have taken this week time this week to strengthen and clarify this part of the agreement following discussions with unionists in northern ireland and across the u.k. the two shockley over africa and i spoke yesterday and we've both committed that there should be no barriers either north south or east west and i believe this agreement delivers that to underline. the importance of these principles i'm writing today to the people of northern ireland to set out our approach. millions of jobs depend on the future trading relationship we will determine and i'm optimistic about the discussions ahead but in the meantime reaching this agreement now ensures that businesses will be able to make investment decisions based on an implementation period that offers welcome certainty. i will be seeing president trusts courtly and i look forward to the publication of his guidelines i also look forward to next week's european council meeting where i hope and expect we will be able to get the

ireland but agreement on no hard border but also respecting the constitutional and economic integrity of the unitedrn ireland, how come your partner, the dup, accepted that? will it not mean that the rest of the uk will also remain in the single market? it doesn‘t actually mean what you suggested. we‘ve been very clear, if you look at the text of the joint report, it says that we will work to achieve the relationship, the trading relationship, between the uk and the european union that we want to see, that we believe will also be a good trading relationship for northern ireland. if that is not the case then we will look for specific solutions to what are the unique circumstances of northern ireland. everybody recognises that because northern ireland is the only part of the uk with a land border with a country that will be remaining within the european union, that is a set of unique circumstances, and indeed there are already unique circumstances and specific solutions for northern ireland. there‘s a single electricity market across the island of ireland for example, but i‘m confident that we can, i

the economic and constitutional integrity of the united kingdom must not be compromised in any way.on of this party. the prime minister has told the house of commons there will be no border in the irish sea. the prime minister has been clearer the uk is leaving the european union as a whole. and the european union as a whole. and the territorial and economic integrity of the uk will be maintained. we want to ensure the common travel area is continued. we wa nt common travel area is continued. we want a strict time—limited implementation period. the republic of ireland government claim to be guarantors of the belfast agreement, but they are clearly seeking to unilaterally change that belfast agreement without our input or our consent. and of course we will not stand for that. thank you very much. thank you very much. thank you. so the reality kicking in. clear disquiet. a rather shaky voice arlene foster giving reaction to reports that a breakthrough in the brexit talks is not far—away. donald tuskis brexit talks is not far—away. donald tusk is saying he is encouraged by progress. an

international community protecting itself protecting the standing of international law protecting the integrity of the united nations because if countries acquiesce to the u.s. and if they accept being punching bag for the american administration and voting in accordance with directives from nikki haley then what's the point of having the united nations that's what the countries have at stake today and that's why the vote today is so decisive not just because the resolution under consideration is in line with international law there is absolutely no reason for any member of the united nations to vote against this resolution because even the text of the resolution is based almost exclusively on language that was previously adopted by the security council there's nothing controversial about this resolution the only controversy that the u.s. is imposing on the united nations is that this resolution this language that international law in fact stands in opposition to the current american administration's position which is undermining the very prospects of feet peace as we as we saw very evident from the speech o

belfast agreement and in doing so we will continue to pursue the constitutional and economic integrity of the united kingdom. is following developments in brussels and joins me now from there lax the irish border almost led to the collapse of these talks so what led to this breakthrough and what has changed. well let's see first if it's really a breakthrough on the question of the border between northern ireland and ireland in the document we have here it says ok avoid hard border now bear with me this is complicated they want to reach that through the over all you u. k. relationship meaning they want to basically find the rules for this later on if they don't and this is also lined out in paragraph forty nine in here if they don't then there needs to be a specific solution between the u.k. and the e.u. and if they can't find a specific solution for that border then it says here they need to maintain full alignment with those rules of the internal market and the customs union all this very complicated what does it mean it basically means that if the u.k. doesn't come up with a solution for this bord

of the eu single market and the customs union but we are equally clear we must respect the integrity of the unitedr's party too — who said she should say this to the eu. you need to change this process, and to back off. otherwise we get on with other arrangements. that was in westminster. in dublin, the irish prime minister had to face his own parliament. remember he thought there was a done deal — only to find out theresa may hadn't cleared it with the dup. here he is earlier. we cannot move on to phase two until we have the assurances that we need, that there will be no hard border. and indeed the assurances we have been promised for 18 months now, and even longer. as things stand, the ball is very much in london. the ball is very much in london. the ball is very much in london. the ball is in london's court. finally we shift to brussels. that perhaps given what the eu is saying i shouldn't have bothered. "the show is now in london" it says. true — the show may be there, but the eu's in brussels and its clock is ticking. the short term deadline is to get to this point where sufficient progress h

we will do that while we respect the constitutional integrity of the united kingdom.we... because we will deliver this, we aim to deliver the best part of our overall trade deal between the united kingdom and the european union. and we can only talk about that when we get into says two. we have a plan, he has none. 18 months after the referendum, the prime minister is unable to answer the question. and on monday, as she thought she was coming here to make a statement, it was vetoed by the leader of the dup, detail really is wagging the dog here. mr speaker, the brexit secretary told bbc programme injune, it is myjob, i do not think out loud and i do not make the guesses. i try and make decisions, you make those based on data, the data has been gathered. we have 50, nearly 60 analysis nearly done. this house voted to see those a nalyses done. this house voted to see those analyses that today, the brexit secretary told the select committee they actually do not exist. can the prime minister put us out of our misery? do they exist or don't go? have they done the work or h
