mr speaker, perhaps the irish sea.perhaps the single most important area of trade between great britain and northern ireland is food. three quarters of the food in northern ireland supermarkets comes from the rest of the uk. get the particle applied the same burdens on shipment from... —— get the protocol. if it was limited in full we would see supermarket lorries needing hundreds of certificates for every single item, every civil document checked, supermarket staples like sausages banned altogether, more delays, less choice, so did a's agreement fixes all this with a new permanent legally binding approach to food. we will expand the green lane to food retailers and notjust supermarkets but wholesalers and hospitality too. instead of hundreds of certificates, lorries will make one simple, digital declaration to confirm the goods will remain in northern ireland. visual inspections will be cut from 100% now to just 5%. physical checks and tests will be scrapped on this we suspect fraud, smuggling or disease. and so there

fundamentally, it�*ll streamline this process here, sending goods across the irish sea. d paperwork — dozens of forms sometimes — added costs and time, too onerous for some producers. in fact, two thirds of shoppers in northern ireland, according to one study, noticed smaller ranges and higher prices in shops. one cafe took smoothies off the menu because they couldn�*t get the ingredients. the new deal should help them, it should spell minimal formalities for the majority of british goods, those going via the green lane, destined to stay in northern ireland. the chairman of marks and spencer calls the deal "a big step forward, "solving the rubiks cube of the protocol". it should mean a smoother passage for the rest going via the red lane, where the sharing of trade data with the eu will also help. those goods, heading for the eu will still have to follow the blocs existing rules and standards. staying in that single market has helped some businesses in the province to trade with the rest of europe. the northern ireland economy may have suffered a smaller hit, claims one s

they hope that in the future trading will get easier across the irish sea.ig political question is, does this deal go far enough to satisfy the unionist party here, the dup, their demands? that matters because in this building behind me there has not been a functioning government for a year. that is because the dup pulled out of government in protest over the current arrangement. they are not giving anyone a quick answer tonight. they say they want to look through the detail of this deal, line by line, and from a legal perspective, they want to know does this restore northern ireland's place within the u.k., restore the integrity of the u.k. market from their perspective? they set out seven tests to judge this by. they'll be going through that tonight but will not jump to any conclusions. they need to weigh whether this sufficiently meets their demands to decide whether they can support it. that is one of the questions hanging over northern ireland tonight. kasia: the reaction from northern ireland. let's take a look at what european union officials are sayi

whether they can realign the market now to go back to trading across the irish sea.might take a few days or weeks. we will see how that pans out. james: 25 years ago, the u.s. played a role in brokering the good friday peace accord. this is slightly different, it is about trade going back and forth. but i'm curious as to how involved the united states might be in keeping an ion what is happening? emma: it has been about trade. it has also fed into the delicate balance between eunice -- between unionists and nationalists. the u.s. and nancy pelosi particularly, she was outspoken about this saying, the protocol must be upheld, we can't break agreements with the eu. and saying, the protocol arrangements wereo uphold the good friday agreement, which of course, america is very much supportive of her unionists saw it differently. they said actually, we have upheld the good friday agreement on the one hand, we have cap an open -- keeping an open border. because we have upset trade going from gb to northern ireland, we have upset the unionists side of things and we need -- a

irish sea, a trade border, invisible one, by border, not an invisible one, by the , that lawful.way, that it's lawful. what does this mean for the people of northern ireland? well, i think as group of politicians, we as a group of politicians, we wanted to bring this case to see whether or not the protocol was lawful . it breached the act of lawful. it breached the act of union, which is a very formation of the united kingdom and whether it breached the northern ireland of 1998, which is belfast agreement. you had a case because it splits the country. yeah, absolutely. and so today the supreme court, the highest court the land, has highest court in the land, has confirmed that the withdrawal agreement, contained the agreement, which contained the protocol modifies the protocol, actually modifies the acts of union and modifies the belfast agreement. and we're always talking about changing the belfast agreement and how that's sacrosanct and how you cannot and here we cannot change it. and here we have highest court, the have the highest court, the land saying actually parliament di

northern ireland from great britain get checked before they enter, and that creates a border in the irish seans hate it. they say it is bad for business, and threatens the integrity of the uk. the dup is boycotting the parliament in stormont in protest. this all comes just as rishi sunak reaches a crucial point in his negotiations with the eu over the protocol. the negotiations are complex and sensitive. it's thought that any deal would involve a reduced role for the european court ofjustice and a green lane for goods designed to stay in northern ireland. this would mean fewer regulations, but the details are crucial, and negotiations are being kept under wraps, which makes this intervention all the more controversial. he is trying to wreck the thing, because he is opposed to the prime minister, he wants — he and his supporters want to undermine the prime minister, it isjust a continuation of the fratricide or war that we see in the conservative party. the government is playing down borisjohnson�*s comments. the whole point of this is it has to work for the people of northern ireland. everyth

but for goods crossing the irish sea, they are checked on arrival in northern ireland, effectively creating border between northern ireland and the rest of the uk. this is in order to keep open its border with the republic. the democratic unionist party says this cuts northern ireland off from the rest of the uk, and for two years they've refused to share power at stormont until a different solution is reached. our political correspondent iain watson has the story. the political stakes for rishi sunak are high. a deal with the eu appears to be moving closer. this would avoid a trade war between the uk and its largest market, but it could lead to a growing gulf within his own party, with some mps wanting the entire brexit agreement in northern ireland upended, and unless the democratic unionist party approve the deal, they won't agree to rejoin a power—sharing government at stormont. so, the prime minister has taken to the pages of usually conservative supporting newspapers to reassure sceptics in his own ranks that any deal won't be a sell—out. in an interview with tomorrow's sunday times,

they will still be a border in the irish sea but the difference will be that it will only pertain tothen into the irish republic. the dup might say that test is passed but there is still that stumbling block. the european court ofjustice. there are some signs that some in the dup will not budge on that. can some signs that some in the dup will not budge on that.— not budge on that. can you explain the im act not budge on that. can you explain the impact that _ not budge on that. can you explain the impact that not _ not budge on that. can you explain the impact that not having - not budge on that. can you explain. the impact that not having stormont functioning because the dup won't take part, because of the northern ireland protocol, is having on northern ireland. it’s ireland protocol, is having on northern ireland.— northern ireland. it's been a disaster for— northern ireland. it's been a disaster for northern - northern ireland. it's been a| disaster for northern ireland. northern ireland. it's been a - disaster for northern ireland. the disasterfor northern ireland. the institut

this is what unionists call a border in the irish sea. proposed deal it's likely goods travelling from great britain to northern ireland and remaining there would no longer be subject to checks. these would only apply to goods going via northern ireland to the irish republic and therefore to the eu. and people in northern ireland would get a say over any future eu rules that might affect them. if there are any new rules that would apply in relation to northern ireland, it must be right that there is a northern irish democratic check on that. and again, that would mark a significant shift... now i know this may seem hard to believe, but getting a deal with the eu could be the easier of the prime minister's tasks. more importantly, he has to win over northern ireland's biggest unionist party, the dup. they are warning that a bad deal will deepen divisions and if they don't like the detail of what rishi sunak has negotiated then they won't rejoin a power—sharing government in northern ireland. and some of the prime minister's colleagues here

which effectively creates a border down the irish sea. still an open border from northern ireland into the republic of ireland, which is part of the eu. the democratic unionist party have been firmly opposed to the current system, and have refused to enter a power sharing agreement at stormont until a solution is reached. our political correspondent ione wells gave us an idea of what might be going on now behind the scenes. i think it's certainly fair to say that in essence this deal is all but done. maybe not signed on the dotted line yet, but basically pretty much agreed. it's now a case of these talks over the weekend about how is this presented? we have had various signs of the fact that it is very close. we know that king charles, for example, was due to meet the president of the european commission in the uk today. now the palace and downing street say the meeting was called off due to operational reasons, but the fact she was meant to be here show she was poised to publicly present a deal of some kind. i think what is definitely at

which effectively creates a border down the irish sea.ll an open border from northern ireland into the republic of ireland, which is part of the eu. the democratic unionist party have been firmly opposed to the current system, and have refused to enter a power sharing agreement at stormont until a solution is reached. the irish prime minister leo varadkar says we're getting closer to a deal. i think the talks on reforming the protocol are inching towards a conclusion. certainly the deal isn't done yet but i do think we are inching towards conclusion and i really want to thank the uk government, the european commission and the northern ireland parties for the level of engagements that they've done in recent months to get us to this point. we just encourage everyone to go the extra mile to come to an agreement, because the benefits are huge. it allows us to have the northern ireland assembly and executive back up and running in the north, to have the good friday agreement working properly again and also to put relations between the united k

he says it will remove any sense of a border in the irish sea, or leon maralie is the is a former aide to u. k. cabinet minister steve barkley, during his time as breaks at secretary, he says the new agreement is a fairly substantial re negotiation compared to what came before the the whole way in which northern island is treated in the good the travel of goods between northern ireland, a great britain is entirely different, effectively gone, is the border in the irish sea gone is the need for checks on all goods entering northern ireland. and instead of what we've got is a much more practical way of doing things that still allows goods to travel freely between northern ireland and great britain, as well as maintaining the integrity of the e u. single market. so it is significant, there's been a very complicated set of scenarios that both the european union and the u. k. government have had to deal with. and i think anyone can pretend that bricks, it is not incredibly complicated, which it is. and it's a series of essentially compromises and no one in politics likes compromise. and i t

unionist parties argue that this places an effective border across the irish sea which undermines northern's place within the uk. the largest unionist party, the dup, is currently refusing to take part in the country's power—sharing government unless its concerns about the protocol are resolved. our ireland correspondent chris page is in belfast following the talks. northern ireland has been without a fully functioning devolved government now for more than a year. the dup says it will not relent until its concerns, chiefly the trade border between northern ireland and the rest of the uk, are addressed. the dup want an end to checks on goods arriving here from england, scotland and wales under that arrangement known as the northern ireland protocol. also something senior dup politicians have been mentioning more and more, particularly over the last 2a hours, has been the role of eu law in northern ireland. they don't want the european court ofjustice, the eu's highest court, to have any role in deciding laws for northern ireland. the likes of sammy wilson, the party's chief whip at westmins
