the arrival of boris johnson at the party conference promising they would be no border down the irish seaup is that she had been hoodwinked by the prime minister and that she placed too much faith in borisjohnson and that she had been attracted by the stardust around boris johnson, inviting stardust around borisjohnson, inviting him to stardust around boris johnson, inviting him to the party conference, to leave the dash to lead the dup up the garden path, and i don't think she could have recovered from that. she started well as the dup leader, and of course a very strong westminster election result in 2017 which gave the dup the balance of power at westminster but for critics of arlene foster within her party, that was a balance of power that was granted and i don't think her position ever recovered from that. added to that, the things chris page has talked about, the renewable heat incentive scheme, and a section of her party that never quite took to her party that never quite took to her as party leader because she had been a member of the dup�*s rival party the ulster you and is in he

our ireland correspondent emma vardy has been on the journey over the irish sea, to see what impact ther, they're getting goods ready to be shipped over the irish sea. and we're coming along, because what's happening could have implications for the very unity of the uk and, some believe, for the peace and stability of northern ireland. so, we're three months into all this. how's it going? at the beginning, it was a struggle. some some members were geared up better than others. some businesses are dealt with it better than others. ultimately, we still have a few issues where paperwork is not done correctly, and freight still ends up sitting on the floor. if the paperwork�*s not right, it can't leave here? if it's not right, it can't leave here. exactly that. sending goods to northern ireland used to be largely paperwork free. there you go, there's your paperwork. ok, brilliant. fully loaded. everything is ok. but now the journey our driver graham has been doing for 20 years involves a lot more red tape. this is the compromise borisjohnson agreed with the eu to avoid having checks over th

confusion that is creating on the ground in northern ireland because this whole thing about the irish sea border is widely interpreted in different ways but both key players in northern ireland. well it is and i mean there is the there is an absentee hipness discussion and that's the british government and it was the british government who promised they would never be any kind of order in the r.t.c. and burns johnson the prime minister explicitly promised that that would never happen now and weeks after he became prime minister that is exactly what he did the other aspect of this is the british government is not properly operating the protocol they are going slow they are not cooperating with the european union they have been months behind in producing the sort of evidence that they should produce so they the committees responsible for a minute giving the protocols and packed haven't even met in some kisses or money during the 8 they come to no decision because the british government actually wasn't ready to leave on the 1st of january they hadn't got the position and the customs position

voters on the doorsteps as to why they ended up with the thing they least wanted, a border town the irish seagning against the brexit arrangements for northern ireland, also risks angering nationalist parties here, who do want to make the irish sea border arrangements work. and recent history shows us that any increase in divisions in the power—sharing partners here at stormont can eventually potentially affect the overall running of northern ireland altogether. overall running of northern ireland alto . ether. . overall running of northern ireland altoaether. . . , altogether. emma vardy, with the latest thoughts _ altogether. emma vardy, with the latest thoughts at _ altogether. emma vardy, with the latest thoughts at stormont. - in india, the pandemic continues to worsen with more than 200,000 deaths officially confirmed. on average in the past week, more than 340,000 cases of coronavirus have been reported each day — that's an infection rate more than 20 times higher than two months ago. as for deaths, the official count is an average of more than 2,600 people a day over the past week. bu

there's resentment over the new brexit arrangements, a new partition for trade in the irish sea, andning part of the uk see what's happening with brexit as weakening their british identity. and there's fury over sinn fein politicians who escaped prosecution for attending the funeral of a former ira leader, which many saw as a blatant disregard for covid rules. what i see within the unionist and loyalist community now is grassroots, legitimate and justified anger which is widespread throughout the entire community. you say there's legitimate anger, but is that to legitimise violence? do you condemn what's happened? when it comes to loyalists on the ground, there has been a lot of protests that are taking place. there will probably be a lot more, and like i said, loyalist activists are doing their utmost to dissuade people from engaging in violence. the rioting was sporadic and still considered relatively low—level here. but police believe paramilitary organisations, who still have influence in some communities, had some involvement. signs of anger over the irish sea border are everywh

but there was no equivalent calculation for loyalists and checks in the irish sea.we've also seen violence in loyalist areas. this was belfast in april. this was connected to upset over the handling of a large republican funeral last year. and that is connected to a broader perception that loyalists are not being treated fairly. anger at the form brexit�*s taken plays into that. for his part, borisjohnson expressed concern at the violence. and he's called the checks in the irish sea unnecessary — arguing that: we are getting the barnacles off the thing. and they have been, and sam papering it into shape. this is prime minister arguing to sandpaper away the checks that he agreed to. in fact, the uk has now delayed some of those checks — which the eu says breaks breaks international law. all of which highlights that how to be outside the eu and to avoid checks remains a problem that's hard to sandpaper away. and so, not for the first time, belfast s port is centre stage. this, after all, is the city that built the titanic. something its creators thought was unsinkable
