so it is written from the irish point of view.onight, and she is doing a speech tomorrow. there is concern amongst brexiteers in london that leo varadkar, who is the irish prime minister, is not really seeing the benefit of what brexit can do for the british isles is an area, and is being slightly played by brussels who are concerned about the impact of britain leaving on the european project, so are forgetting that there is a lot more that unites than divides us within the british isles, then he would think. divides us within the british isles, then he would thinklj divides us within the british isles, then he would think. i think the story isjust a then he would think. i think the story is just a lot of nonsense, it really is. the sun would never waste an opportunity to accuse someone like leo varadkar of being an airhead, but if you look at what they have said, all he is saying is that with no deal they will be no deal on skies, and that is absolutely true. he is not the first person to say that. everyone has acknowledged that

irish times.elief that the only way to do the backstop is on an all uk basis. i wonder if you would respond to that. you've already largely rejected that proposal. is there a way forward on that? secondly, there have been reports the commission is preparing an alternative draft to the protocol. is that the case? and how far has that developed? translation: in these negotiations, i've always tried to say things simply, and also always tell the truth. this is the most serious and most difficult problem. the european council and the member states insisted that if we are to have a withdrawal agreement, and we want an orderly withdrawal, they insisted that we have a legally workable solution in the withdrawal agreement on ireland. and then if we find a better solution in the future relationship, then we can replace one by the other, but in the meantime if we want a withdrawal agreement we need an operational solution in order to preserve the good friday agreement in all its dimensions, so as to avoid a

the irish government and michel barnier are saying, no, the irish government and michel barnierare sayingmichel barnier are saying, no, we cannot move ahead with anything to do with the withdrawal until we get the backstop sorted out. it doesn't need to be the wording that the eu have proposed, they have invited the british to come back, the irish have said we can sit down and talk about the wording. that may or may not happen. that is the first thing. the second thing is what happened in the house of commons, iain says it is probably dead in the water, or most of it is. any agreement based around a customs arrangement in the chequers agreement is not going to get through the house of commons. furthermore, michel barnier is pretty cool about it, he has sent back several questions through the british government, saying, can we have further details about how he would run a customs arrangement like this, so on and so forth. it is pretty unlikely that will form the basis of any negotiations. unless and until there is unacceptable irish deal that ireland is satisfied with, there will be no tra

when we look at the white house, what is it about that that is so distinctly american, from an irish -- from a european point of view? >> i think the first thing is that there was a journalist whose name was willis in the 1840s. he was quite representable on the basis that his paul bearers were led by longfellow and the other bearers were of harvard school so he was serious. he wrote a short description on the white house and he described it as being ultimately a sufficient measure of state for a republic. in other words, that it had enough of state in it and not too much. too much was, in fact, assertion of authority over a people. and i think essentially what washington had in mind all the time was that these states could easily fracture. that daniel webster later on effectively was to say that washington converted what was a congress, a compact between states into a constitution, which is a definition of a nation, which applies to individuals. so, instead of passing back through the states, in fact, one had to -- the constitution affected individuals directly. >> such a wonderful

he has a keen interest in the subject, as the irish republic has a land subject, as the irish republic is what he saying. unionists have nothing to fear from a british/irish intergovernmental conference. it is an agreed structure that both governments have signed up to as pa rt of governments have signed up to as part of good friday agreement. we do not deal with devolved decision—making in northern ireland. this is about protecting the institutions of the good friday agreement. trying to find a way to ensure that they can work and function which they aren't doing today. in that contribution the irish foreign minister addressed unionist concerns. some think this conference maybe a vehicle for increased meddling, as they would see it, by dublin. nationalists think it could inject momentum into the process. but i don't think anybody is expecting a break through until later in the year. thank you very much. you're watching afternoon live. the headlines: rescuers search for dozens missing after deadly wild fires in greece. police say they have found evidence more than 60 children were abus

they came in in huge numbers and they were all irish, of course. williamson observed how they drank and cursed and partied all night, and there was even a brothel opened beside the white house in the grounds. it was very nice. [ laughter ] the commissioners were scandalized, so hoban went defend betsy, the madam. they compromised by moving the brothel just outside of the grounds of the white house. so it continued in operation, and she was washington's first, i think. there was a lot of battling. hoban was no dummy. he organized a militia and the workmen all joined it. if they didn't, they got their pay docked. he mustered them every week. every sunday afternoon they were mustered. if they did not please him, he fined them and collected it out of their pay. that's how he controlled the workmen. well, williamson cannot stand it. the commissioners thought williamson was too much trouble. they asked a friend, a scot from edinburgh, who lived in georgetown who had stores in philadelphia and georgetown, they asked him to take letters to europe for them.

michel barnier is going back to the irish backstop, the border issue again.inning of the year, simply because theresa may yesterday, in a speech in belfast, tore it up and said, we don't need that any more. precisely, the withdrawal agreement... with money, transition, it has basically been blown apart by uk politics. maybe uk politics, but the point is that the british government signed up to this legal, operable, i think those are the keywords in it, backstop, so that it is now no longer operable because of what happened in the house of commons. so we have to renegotiate that. this process of withdrawal, and then future trade, it falls this autumn because it will crystallise in uk terms as we sign a large cheque, yes, we get transition. what do we get in return in terms of future trade? we get a vague commitment. so you don't need to pay the money. none of it will get to the house of commons. the most likely outcome then becomes no deal. exactly! that is what the maddest of the leaders have always wanted. jacob rees—mogg what they have always wanted, what t

the speaker of the irish parliament this week presented the uk parliament with a portrait of the firstmber, who never took her seat at westminster, instead becoming the first female cabinet minister in the irish republic. the picture, a copy of one in dublin, is currently on show in the voice and vote exhibition in westminster hall. markievicz is a sterling role model, i think, for women, still, right across europe. that she really pioneered, she pushed for the vote for women and pushed for independence for our country. and she was a very effective minister. she was a leader, in every sense of the word. for a long time, the first woman was recognised as nancy astor, who was actually the second woman elected to the house of commons. but for a long time, constance markievicz was wriiten out of british history, so of course we welcome the fact that the british parliament are finally recognising and acknowledging the very important role that she took part in 100 years ago. it's a very important moment for us and very newsworthy, in ireland, and i think also in britain to see this act of re

it'll probably stall somewhere around the irish sea as we head into tuesday.showers around northern england, possibly wales into tuesday, but that's pretty much it. it looks like that hot air will continue to pump in from the south and spread across france, germany, into scandinavia and poland as well. so we're just on the edge of the heat here actually. that's why it's only going to be hot across these eastern counties, the midlands and the south—east. many western areas here will be under the influence of that less hot air coming off the atlantic, but still temperatures of 20 in belfast, 2a in plymouth, and easily 30 degrees or more on tuesday. in fact, temperatures this week do get up to about 33 celsius. so a very hot week on the way, but further north it will be just that little bit cooler and more pleasant, with a spell of rain heading into northern ireland, i think, sometime midweek. that's it from me, bye—bye. welcome to bbc news — broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. our top stories: taken to safety injordan — israel evacuate
