what message are you getting, jeffrey donaldson?you do that is being in government, then you have the power to sort out the mess. you are the only ones who can put yourselves back in government. we are not, we rely on other parties, it is power—sharing. actually you don't. i find the irony of ironies, we have sinn fein here tonight saying we don't want a tory government, we are against a tory government. and they're prepared to hand over the reins of power in northern ireland to that same tory government because believe me if we don't get stormont running, directs rule from westminster and the tory government is what you are facing and you are responsible for handing that power back to them. it's your responsibility? i think the dup and sinn fein both have already handed back power to westminster. it was called welfare reform. what we can do is sort our problems out. we have already said this, i don't actually understand, jeffrey, why the dup, who believe in the united kingdom, are afraid to see marriage equality, for example. it's

and jeffrey donaldson is right, why should northern ireland constituents be less important.that goes to places like newcastle and sunderland. the problem for the government is each time they talk about austerity, everybody will point to this deal. yeah. now on to the news from the united states. a clear victory for national security. that‘s what president trump is calling the supreme court‘s decision to partially reinstate his travel ban which has been held up in the legal system for months. it impacts citizens from six muslim majority nations and now it will be enforced for anyone who doesn‘t have an existing relationship with a person or entity in the united states. the supreme court will examine the case in full in october and in today‘s statement the president said this ruling will allow him to use an important tool for protecting the us. joining us now to discuss the impact is strategist ron christie. the president says this is a clear victory for him over a contentious issue, this travel ban, but it is not a total victory is it, they didn‘t go as far as he might have w

jeffrey donaldson and gary williamson sitting... there you go, that's the moment.d jeffrey donaldson of the dup. the two chief whips signing each document. and counter signing. so, that is the deal that we've just heard outlined by chris. we don't have all the nitty—gritty of the deal but what that means is that the conservative party can now bank a majority when the queen's speech is voted on in the commons on wednesday, thanks to the support of those ten dup mps. that's the moment, then, chris. it is signed and sealed, we just need to hear exactly what they have properly signed up to. we can see evidence of it being signed and sealed without actually quite knowing yet, because the discussions are still ongoing behind me, exactly what they have signed and sealed up to. interesting seeing those pictures of the two chief whips. what a job they have got and what a partnership they are going to have to attempt to strike because even with the addition of those ten mps from the dup, the majority, such as it is, for the looser arrangement between the conservatives and th

said jeffrey donaldson said this evening that he is confident that there will be a so—called supply andi have to say i detect a bit of a chill in the air on both sides. the senior tories, i think, chill in the air on both sides. the seniortories, ithink, in chill in the air on both sides. the senior tories, i think, in the dup, are pushing their luck. there was a suggestion a few days go that the government was willing to put a 750 mount —— £750 million package on the table. the dup said that was lovely, we would like to be 2 billion, because that would look better. these tories are saying that theresa may really can take the risk of not signing a formal agreement with the dup, because are really going to bring down this government and increase the chances ofjeremy corbyn becoming prime minister? and the dup are now really irritated with the northern ireland office. i'm told that they are really upset that senior officials are casting a shade on the dup. otherwise would be inserting words into the proposed agreement that the government will be studiously impartial in the process , be st

there's a good chance his party will reach an agreement with the conservatives by next thursday jeffrey donaldson said talks to form a coalition with the ruling party were progressing well. the uk chancellor echoed that sentiment saying he's confident the two sides can reach a deal the dup are one of these tough, tough negotiating northern ireland parties, a bit like sinn fein, they have years of tough negotiating. that's why the british government is finding it hard to nail them down >>> philip hammond also said that he will push for an early transition deal to avoid a cliff edge brexit. the issue of britain's eu divorce is front and center at the council summit theresa may is preparing to set out the uk's plans to protect expatriates rights after brexit. willem is in brussels. of all the suf isstough issues t there, the one that is the most pathetic, saddening and worrying are the rights of people who have contributed to europe and are british and want to live there, and the rights of the europeans in britain who have contributed for many years and don't know about their rights. i think it's a

sold jeffrey donaldson, adp mp said it will probably happen at the beginning of next week.ps will vote for the queens speech. it is likely it will go through. it is not straightforward. 0pposition mps will put amendments down to try to change the details of the queens speech, make adjustments around brexit. we will see what sort of numbers will try to attach amendments. the labour party will wa nt to amendments. the labour party will want to cause mischief. even getting this queen's speech over its initial hurdle will not be straightforward for theresa may. as laura said, this is so farfrom for theresa may. as laura said, this is so far from the parliamentary situation that theresa may envisaged just three weeks ago before we had the result of the general election. she listened at this point she would be dominant. she could ride through the contentious policy stuff that was in the manifesto. most of it had to be binned. tossed on the bin. the dementia tax, that is what critics pointed to. means testing of the winter fuel allowance. grammar schools. all those initiatives tha

jeffrey donaldson, of the dup, in northern ireland, the last time around you has eight mps.of the selection, called to get the prime minister the overall majority? good evening from lisburn, northern ireland. this is perfect territory for the dup. if the conservatives are short of an overall majority it puts us in a strong and go shooting position. that is one that we would take with relish. and what would the negotiating position be? just for those who do not know?” negotiating position be? just for those who do not know? i am not going to spell that out in detail add this stage. as of 2015, with aspects of elation and in the conservatives managed the overall majority. i am conservatives managed the overall majority. iam not conservatives managed the overall majority. i am not going to pre—empt the outcome. but we are going to the serious players with a hung parliament, talking to whoever it is, and it looks as the conservatives would be the largest party. we have got a lot in common. we wa nt party. we have got a lot in common. we want brexit working for the united kingdom
