inability to solve the irish a big to manage but. with no border in ireland no one who watched a trilogy of programmes on ireland at the start of this year would be told surprised at the government's present and dangerous dilemma the three key figures we interviewed then ports on the u.k. proposals this is what they had to say what david davies lights to mention is the american canadian border. and i don't know why he keeps mentioning that because they always have to do is google this and you'll see the massive queues of traffic . waiting for the checkpoints so that's precisely the example you use this is precisely our fear i listened to theresa may and i listen to others from the english tories saying that. don't worry about the border in ireland ireland will be fine on the one hand and then insisting that britain will leave the customs union leave to single marcus and so on and of course the reality is that those two positions are completely at odds with each other i think the tories have played a very dangerous game no way can arl

as a journalist and founder of irish central dot com irish choice newspaper and irish america magazine he joins us on skype from syosset in new york what does this say about ireland and what does it mean for irish women. it's an incredible result if you look at the nasa opinion bones the tortoise example it was a seven to ten point margin in favor of some of the removing it and then but the actual result of that example is right and there's no reason to disbelieve it think it's already two point six three which is incredible and one that nobody foresaw in fact the big three are in aren't from the yes side ones that in the weeks leading up to devote to would be huge amount of pressure that would force a forward which stronger novo looked at from those people who are undecided but exactly the opposite thing happened there was a huge surge over the last seventy two hours i think women were saying we've had enough of this in our own not enough which can cornish to. go back is going to number of scandals to make to then on greece women have been treated over the years this week you had two

the irish sea has come up and over the irish sea has come up and over the hillsborough type area and that is one of the exceptions. that is on offer in places around the irish sea but away towards the northwest more than ever present is a weather front producing some rain into the far north—west scotland. where you keep the sunshine, temperatures well into the sunshine, temperatures well into the teens if not low 20s. a decent evening in prospect. if you're thinking of a barbecue, this is sunday. but front a bit closer into the north and west of scotland. we could find another degree or two on sunday in a number of places with regards to the temperatures. not a great deal of difference on bank holiday monday. perhaps more cloud for scotland. still some merc in the irish sea and somewhere in the southeast 26 or 27 —— still some murk in the irish sea. this is bbc news, our latest headlines.

and degrading treatment on irish women in these situations."ook at that. there are six committees at the un who have been highly critical of our abortion laws and have issued edicts dictating we should change them according to their diktat. the fact is, none of these committees have power to either expand or interpret the conventions and the treaties which they monitor. they can simply monitor and report. their statements and their conclusions are not binding on us, and it was very, very clear... it might give you pause for thought, though. it might indeed, and when you look at the european court of human rights's decision that they have seen where countries who have a margin of appreciation to make their own laws in relation to abortion and other controversial issues, they accept the balance we have struck but have suggested also that where we have allowed abortion in our law, that we must make it clear and the women must know when they can access it, so that's the legal position. i've focus quite a few questions on you, caroline, so, sinead,

board the issue has a marriage in the negotiations well it's been it's a marriage because the irish government changed it it's t. shock and the new t. shock has made this a big issue for his own political reasons and also because he wants to be seen very much as backing the e.u. the previous teashop was already involved in committees looking at technological solutions he stopped on that and i think it is using the border not the belfast agreement good friday agreement as a way of trying to force the united kingdom into staying in the customs union which of course would be totally against everything that we voted for because if you stay in the customs union you don't have your access to trade you don't have to follow the e.u. law and you have to pay money so it's not leaving the e.u. but if you've been surprised by the extent to which the teacher has managed to marshal the entire negotiating team of the european union behind this cause i know i'm not surprised because the irish have always had a very very clever role in the e.u. after all they got millions of millions of times over m

i don't think the irish will drop the irish!want an agreement, if the irish don't want it, too bad. something else you've touched on, all the while this is going on, and we will be endlessly debating this, you're making a valid point that there are many other countries that while britain is trying to escape, some try to do the opposite? a fact that went completely undetected in britain a couple of days ago, there was a big conference, an enlargement conference in brussels. yes, britain is checking out, but there are ten countries that are pushing to check in. one of them, ironically, could be scotland after brexit. so, there is a strong compulsion to join what is seen as a community of stability and certainty, of a rules—based system, especially in the western balkans, where the vacuum that the european union left in the last few years because of its weakness has been filled by russia. in the current instability, there is still an awareness that, with all its faults and problems, the european union is holding on. but if it is li

he was a man of irish descent born in pennsylvania. when he was sworn in, president kennedy was at the swearing-in of john cosgrove as president of the national press club. isn't that amazing? but the reason why i have a connection with john cosgrove is because he died some years ago at the age of 98, but some years back he donated to the embassy a wonderful painting of george washington's irish circle, a painting of 13 irishmen who were close associates of george washington during the period of the revolutionary war, two of whom signed the declaration of independence. thanks to john cosgrove, i am connected every day with president kennedy through his association with the president and through the history of ireland's connection with the united states going back to the time of george washington. i always say as you get older, history and memory start to merge. by the way, i am also a historian. i just posted a blog today, which i will mention maybe in a little while -- i post historical blogs on the embassy website on a regular basis.

i've come home because i think it's very important for irish women.istoric day and we will vote yes and finally irish women will have the right to autonomy over their bodies. it has been really horrible to watch from away and not be able to do much except for tweeting and facebooking and i really wanted to come home and cast my vote. a yes vote in this referendum would pave the way to legalise abortions up to the 12th week of pregnancy. i work in brussels and i am coming home to vote. i believe this legislation is far too extreme. i believe killing for convenience is terrible. ireland's traditional catholic roots have led to the country retaining some of the strictest abortion laws in the world. what is known as the eighth amendment of the country's constitution gives an equal right to life for a mother and the unborn. but leo varadkar, the country's first openly gay prime minister has been leading the call for change. i always get a little buzz from voting. it always feels like democracy in action. not taking anything for granted, of course, but quie

to the welcome he received from his irish hosts. and fromust like to -- this book, which i read today in preparation for this evening -- what you get very clearly is a which sense of the pride the irish people at that time receiving a great irish-american who had risen to the very top of the political tree to become president of the united states. on the one hand. and on the other hand, you got a sense of the pleasure and joy which president kennedy felt during that visit to ireland. just a small sample of a speech he gave when he received the freedom of wexford. ireland, i think you see something of what is so great about the united states. and i must say, in the united states through millions of your sons and daughters and cousins -- 25 million, in fact -- you see something of what is great about ireland. that is a wonderful insight on the part of the president, that he could see in ireland something of what had made america what it was then and what it is today, and had contributed an essential element to the fabric of modern ame

for example, the irish government will be now taking forward legislation through the irish parliament until a woman is 12 weeks pregnant, and in some circumstances afterwards. and they may well be considering whether to open up abortion services here in the republic to women from northern ireland. for example, the sunday times in london today is reporting that some senior conservative women mps, including some former cabinet ministers, have been calling on the government to consider legislating for northern ireland to loosen up the restrictions on abortion. but it is worth remembering, chris, that of the five main political parties in northern ireland, none of them are actually in favour of extending the abortion laws in the rest of the uk to northern ireland. you do have some political support from some more limited liberal organisations. the largest party, the democratic unionist party, currently propping up theresa may's minority government at westminster, well, they are opposed to any change in the law. and yesterday the dup mp ian paisley tweeted that northern ireland shouldn't b

out of three voters in yesterday's referendum choosing to scrap a constitutional ban on abortion the irish prime minister is describing the result as historic what we've seen today really is a culmination of a quiet revolution that's been taking place in ireland for the past ten or twenty years. and in european soccer fans are counting down to tonight's champions league final defending title holders real madrid taking on liverpool it's a dream match up will be looking ahead at the potential run up to the big game. hello and welcome my name is christopher spring a good to have you with us there's been a surprise meeting between south korean president moon in his north korean counterpart. came in as diplomatic efforts to rescue kim summit with u.s. president all trump continue the two leaders met inside the demilitarized zone that divides the two koreas south korean officials say they had a candid exchange of views of making the u.s. north korean summit in june a success it's the second meeting between the two men within just a month coming days off to president trump first council to summit

speaking irish cheering applause speaking irish speaking irish applause the result of all the constituenciesable online shortly. thank you. cheering cheering so there the official announcement on ireland's abortion referendum. you are pictures now of the people that gathered in the courtyard, it is incredibly noisy. this is dublin castle. it was piped over loud speakers into this crowd to the chance of yes. let's just watch. cheering so, that begins to give you an idea of what has been happening on this island of ireland. we heard from don mcavoy outlining why she did not wa nt mcavoy outlining why she did not want what has happened in the republic to come to the north, and then immediately the official announcement that has been awaited all day that there was a guest with this referendum to repeal the eighth. the language inserted into the constitution in 1983. let me bring in audrey. she has a watching this all day. what a moment. but a moment. the crowd had just been shouting the names so veto. she is a woman, was a woman who died in 2012 ina woman, was a woman who died in 2012 in a hospi

as the form of irish central dot com the irish voice newspaper he says he's not surprised by the projected yes result. the dog that didn't bark in the whole referendum of the catholic church their advice and their ministrations and their sort of outrage about this bill went out city nowhere and the reason is very obvious most of the last twenty years have been embroiled in horrific cases of kind of silly. and again to people are saying you know you're not going to influence my vote what was amazing about is from peter in particular was a rural areas if the example is right we were in areas almost every county in our and it seems voted for his legislation now a good scenario before the vote was taken was a doubling which has got one point two million people in its catchment area was going to be key that they would vote happening in favor and then the rest of the country to vote against but based on his example the entire country ordered far and which is incredible if you go back to the previews and then in one thousand nine hundred three and the numbers were almost reverse. so it's a sign o

the latest from an historic day of voting in the irish capital dublin an early exit poll by the irish times repeated by other news agencies including reuters that puts the results as follows sixty eight percent in favor of repealing the eighth amendment of the irish constitution thirty two percent in favor of keeping it in place the early exit polls seem to indicate a landslide win for the yes vote in some areas turnout was as high as sixty percent certain points during the day was much higher than in other previous votes including the last general election and including the last major referendum on same sex marriage back in two thousand and fifteen what we're seeing here appears to be a nation at a crossroads a nation that is prepared to embrace change a nation that is reevaluated women's rights and is prepared also to bring in changes to bring island more into line with the rest of the european union the official count begins at nine o'clock in the morning local time on saturday the official results will be given out later on saturday afternoon but it does look as if the yes campaig

it's bogus to pretend it's about the irish border.eally about is about a majority in parliament trying to subvert the result. we have not had a significant vote against yet. we have not had votes for customs unions or anything like that in parliament. and in brussels they know they are negotiating with parliament and notjust the government, and that's a weak position to be negotiating from. isn't the real truth of this, it is a shambles because the conservative party hasn't decided what it wants to get from brexit. it could, with the dup, have a majority in the house of commons if it could agree on something. it isn't agreed. when you think about the referendum, it was about five years ago that the conservative party declared it would have a referendum, and here we are, less than one year to brexit, and you still haven't decided what the heck we are going to do. if that isn't a shambles, i don't know what is. again, i don't think that is fair. the prime minister set out very early, first in the lancaster house speech, and then in flor

if you look at the irish people and northern irish people, there were like a 4% wishing that the countriesike 30%. but if you talk about the referendum that could take place in the republic, as well. and that's northern ireland and southern ireland could come to sort of agreement is really speculating pretty far into the future. ireland's border with the uk is at the heart of the negotiations for brexit. after the uk leaves the eu next year, how will goods — and people — travel between them? this week, the most senior customs official in the uk said it could happen — but at a price. max fac, the preferred option of the brexiteers designed to minimise delays at the irish border, or indeed between british ports and the continent, will cost businesses between 17 and £20 billion a year. that's about twice as much as britain's net annual contribution to the eu budget. theresa may's preferred alternative, a customs partnership with the eu would be a lot cheaper but has been dismissed in brussels as "magical thinking". i mean, alex, we heard that expression, we have heard it again from michel bar

well, partition itself, and the denial of irish national sovereignty.eement and regards the ira and sinn fein‘s decision to embrace constitutional politics of stormont as "the great betrayal". this isn't really a paramilitary display, but it's pretty close to it. as you can see from the military uniforms. there are no balaclavas and no weapons, but the message is quite clear. for these people, or many of these people, the war is not over. and the dissidents, have they got support? no, they don't. none at all? they may have the ability to carry out individual actions, but all thinking republicans are committed to peaceful and democratic means. the ira's gone. some of the leaders of one of the largest dissident organisations are your former comrades. what would you say to them? go away. i will respond back to mr adams, "we have no intention of going home, gerry." the chief constable believes that the threat from the wider dissident movement is a real danger. the threat that they pose is assessed as being severe. that is that an attack is highly likely. se
