an mla, someone who was elected to the _ about?_ about? an mla, someone who was elected to the local devolved - elected to the local devolved institutions at stormont, we haven't had a fully functioning local government in northern ireland since february of last year because the dup removed itself from the structures of locally devolved power so currently our departments are run by civil servants who don't have ministerial power and there has been some quasi—direct rule from london, there are a lot of issues that remain understanding, a policy that can move forward, because those 90 elected lawmakers who were elected in may haven't been able to do their job yet because of the block that there is on stormont and devolution because of the db's objections to the protocol. because of the db's ob'ections to the preheat because of the db's ob'ections to the rotocol. �* , ., the protocol. always worth reminding us of the context. _ the protocol. always worth reminding us of the context. thanks _ the protocol. always worth reminding us of

that means that if a third of the mlas stormont, so that's 30 of the 90 members of the assembly if theyt to an eu law that's down the line that might take hold in northern ireland. they can tell the uk government that they object it and those mlas have to be from two different parties. so that basically stops the dup. should they have? that number having their own veto then the uk government can technically veto whatever comes from brussels . it really throws the brussels. it really throws the ball back in the dpp's court because of course getting trade work in again in northern ireland between northern ireland, gb that was one part of the deal . the other is resurrect the deal. the other is resurrect in the stormont assembly of course, with the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement up in april. agreement coming up in april. it's real momentous it's it's a real momentous time. it's a carrot for the dup. they're saying if you want the potential to block new eu law, you've really got to back into powersharing before this mechanism set up . but mechanism can be set up. but related

mla did it 30 years ago. what we need to do today, but our job is today, is to continue to work and look at what the social policy is of the day. which makes a difference in peoples lives, what is the new social safety net for families? it is paid family and medical leave, it is paid six days. it is affordable childcare. it is for equal pay, for equal work for men and women in this country. that is the new social state. and for those who think it is a pipe dream, only several years, ago we are at the center of the public discourse on these areas, and we need to try harder, we need to fight harder in order to get it done, and we should not negotiate away and undermine the direction that we want to go in to get these bills passed and across the finish line. i will leave you at this. i love being in this building, because francis perkins is my hero. he's my hero. can i tell you this? when i went to interview for the position of secretary of labor, with then-president elect obama, who was in chicago on a very col

so been a paisley dup mla.s. will stand contradictions. this will stand and fall. on whether stormont and or fall. on whether stormont gets reconvened opinion . i'm gets reconvened by opinion. i'm just going to come to some of your views. you've not got much longer left show, mike. longer left on the show, mike. i said ursula von der leyen is the de facto of state as she is president of the european union. i think it's time to lay off king charles. now, this is about all paul, i'm going to all twits. paul, i'm going to bnng all twits. paul, i'm going to bring you this, all of that in just a minute, is merely just a minute, which is merely sideshow a distraction to a sideshow and a distraction to a moment signing yesterday, romney says still says the european union still has of northern has ultimate control of northern ireland the of ireland rules by the rule of law. the nation northern law. the nation of northern irish european union irish means the european union have the british have broken up the great briti

largest party sinn fein is the largest party in northern ireland now in terms of and the role dup of mlas the role dup members, let's be clear this who might feel a little bit uncomfortable into uncomfortable going into government a first minister government with a first minister from sinn fein ? so if you add from sinn fein? so if you add all that together, it is maybe not surprise that the dup are not a surprise that the dup are not a surprise that the dup are not rushing into the decision on all of this . no, i understand all of this. no, i understand that the internal politics, local elections , all of that. local elections, all of that. but darren, you know, what was said very clearly by sir jeffrey donaldson is they want to have a look at the legal texts . are we. look at the legal texts. are we. do you think we're any closer to understanding whether the so—called veto really is a veto and whether whether this means. well is going to be fundamental treaty change? so i think in some regards, yes. because jeffrey donaldson gave the impression this morning that he is at least superfici

sir members of the legislative assembly in northern ireland, 30 mlas.wo parties. they would be able to put forward a petition of concern. right. that would then dis apply that law before . it dis apply that law before. it was there and the uk government would the final say on that. now there is nothing within that mechanism. that means it has to be cross—party . interestingly, be cross—party. interestingly, two parties that could be, for example , the dup and the eu—uk example, the dup and the eu—uk to unionist parties could band together and that eu law. okay very quickly, we haven't heard from the lg. we haven't heard from the lg. we haven't heard from boris johnson. what's going behind the scenes ? no we haven't behind the scenes? no we haven't heard from boris johnson. clearly, the lg is compiling its group of its staff chamber lawyers to pull through the legal text. the dup also getting senior lawyers to look through that. senior lawyers to look through that . boris senior lawyers to look through that. boris johnson has noticed quite a statement ha

and within waiting of sinn fein and a bit of a press call it rained the great hall here before the mlaso vote to try and elect a speaker the speaker. of course the dup and unionism very opposed to the protocol , saying opposed to the protocol, saying as soon as a speaker is elected, well then the government is then put in place and there's no way of putting it back down. this legislation was passed by of the parties here. it must be said before the collapse of this government, and it couldn't be put through the books quick enough. put through the books quick enough . it was brought down. enough. it was brought down. robin swann, the former health minister, an ulster unionist member, said it was one of his proudest achievements was that piece of legislation and he wanted it to go . we had people wanted it to go. we had people like naomi long of the alliance party saying this was the time and this was the place for this. but the dup who have gathered ground in the polls the last few weeks are really saying , we told weeks are really saying, we told you and we said nothing will go ahead. t

is it only 30 mlas? these are the questions that are not yet answered . but if it not yet answered. presented so far , there is no presented so far, there is no denying this is a big win for rishi sunak. you know , he's rishi sunak. you know, he's trying to do really that. i thought was quite clever. whether people agree with whether or not people agree with it or not is just something he tried to do, which is keep saying. isn't about saying. this isn't about politics. isn't this politics. this isn't about. this isn't reading between isn't about reading between lines. or the eu , lg or lines. the dup or the eu, lg or all of those talks backstage . all of those talks backstage. this is the people of this is about the people of northern ireland. i was taking some on with this. he was some notes on with this. he was saying that what this deal do is it make easier for the same it make it easier for the same foods we've over here foods that we've got over here on mainland, as it be on the mainland, as it were, be in the over in northern in the shelves over in northern ireland, people wan

the mla is the critical part of our efforts. the truth is that everybody should be able to take leave when they need it. there are many valid reasons for taking leave, but they all have one thing in common. it is called living life. supporting families. we are all human beings. we can get health conditions, cancer, surgery, mental illness and other things. we need to be able to support our families. people who have complex pregnancies, they give birth and care for a new board, they need leave. all of these different things that i talked about and many other opportunities that people need leave for. we asked military members to put themselves at risk and they need leave. they are covered by fmla. we have loved ones, we drop everything to help them when they need, they drop everything to help us when we need them, we need to be able to do the same thing. a parent, spouse, a child. we need later. leave is granted under fmla, for over 500 million times since it was enacted. think about that, 500 million times. this time helped famil

i'm glad he set me right on mep, they are of course mla. rishi sunak said it unlock great opportunity because they're in the british market and in this single market as well. you spent so much time when you were ambassador to the united states trying to encourage investment in the united states with “p investment in the united states with up to think this will be a big shot leon for northern ireland? i think it could potentially _ leon for northern ireland? i think it could potentially to _ leon for northern ireland? i think it could potentially to be. - leon for northern ireland? i think it could potentially to be. it's - it could potentially to be. it's ironic to have our a prime minister who was of course a passionate brexiteer himself making clear the secret source here is the association with the european single market. —— secret sauce. the fact is that investment in britain from outside in america and all the other countries have flatlined since the brexit decision in 2016. i hope that northern ireland can reap these benefits as a pri

the support of 30 mlas from two parties. and once done so be crystal clear .ent crystal clear. the uk government then does have an unequipped co veto. and what i've said that the uk government wants to sit down with the parties in northern ireland, the assembly, to codify how the uk government would use that veto, to make sure that everyone reassurance that will work properly . and that it will work properly. and that's i'd like to engage that's what i'd like to engage with parties and it's with with the parties and it's one of the key parts of this deal safeguard sovereignty for the institutions of the people. institutions of northern people northern ireland is what people were the windsor were asking for. and the windsor framework delivers. it and i think it's more anyone think it's more than anyone expected and hope that's why expected and i hope that's why people that is people can see that this is a really positive. step forward. okay, where she said okay, so that's where she said that we are always going to be returning that story. some of the angles thi

we can go live to 0magh now and speak to daniel mccrossan, who is the sdlp mla for west tyrone at stormont us. you have been calling for a inquiry of a public inquiry, into what happened for some time. are you satisfied with the terms of an set out by the northern ireland secretary? irate terms of an set out by the northern ireland secretary?— ireland secretary? we have been callin: for ireland secretary? we have been calling for a _ ireland secretary? we have been calling for a full— ireland secretary? we have been calling for a full public— ireland secretary? we have been calling for a full public inquiry - calling for a full public inquiry from the british and irish governments, given the nature of what happened in 0magh in august 1998, given the bomb came from the south to 0magh, but today is a huge and significance tap in the right direction following on from the high courtjudgment in 2021, which deemed that, which basically said this was a necessary process that should happen, and obviously as outlined earlier, there is no power over the irish government, but certainly the british go

of concern mechanism, which is a good friday agreement institution that requires the support of 30 mlas, rob watson, says the prime minister still has a few more hurdles to get the deal over the line. rishi sunak has to sell it to the main party and the democratic unionist party who left the power—sharing. of course he also needs to share it to his own governing conservatives that have been so notoriously split over brexit. i guess you say this, 48 hours ago this was being described as a make or break moment for rishi sunak. it was either going to be fantastic, borisjohnson as the bungler, he must�*ve brexit in northern island, who puts brexit on the back burner or he somehow re—ignites the civil war in the conservative party and suffers the same fate as teresa may. so far and would always want to be cautious, it's looking much more of the former than that of the civil war ladder. yes in some of that scepticism and also that backbench rebellion, those that were not happy with the deal. explain a bit of the history and context of this. we often talk about the democratic unionist party, b

so it's not it's not the majority also and majority of mlas at stormont written in the protocol on resolvingense perhaps within the political world and within the political world and within the political world and within the media world that we want to get this story completed. but something comes and there never is an end to it . yeah. is that the driving that everyone just wants some kind of conclusion this and looking at what we're hearing from dublin and micheal martin and any negotiated outcome , the uk and negotiated outcome, the uk and the eu would trans send anything else. full stop . well know that else. full stop. well know that the, the renegotiation is ongoing because of the impact that's the post—brexit trading arrangements political disquiet around that is having on devolution and northern ireland that stormont isn't progressing through with all of the laws and all of the legislation and that the people here want to be delivered only today the, the secretary of state chris heaton—harris announced that westminster will progress the organ donation legislation through westminster

how much of a say do mlas have in that process of now tonight been a criticism that effectively thingsrussels that people in northern ireland didn't effectively have a say over ? and second of all, you're over? and second of all, you're right, it's about role of the european court of justice. now does seem that the ecj is still going to have the final say you like in all of this. however it will be very much viewed as a last resort with an attempt to deal any, first of all, deal with any, first of all, fundamentally in the court system in belfast's . that is, system in belfast's. that is, i think what going to land in all of this. the other of course i should have noted that you talk to us a little bit earlier on. is that von der leyen is going to stay here in berkshire afternoon while the prime minister heads back tea with minister heads back for tea with the we have this explored the king. we have this explored in i think it's in restatements. i think it's pretty from pretty clearly statements from buckingham in which they buckingham palace in which they made clear that the king was

, are civil politicians, whether are civil servants it's council servants or whether it's council mlassses, people up and down the country, right throughout the pubuc country, right throughout the public are not looking the money that they coming into them and not remembering that this is taxpayers money, it's precious funds. and most importantly it's limited. yes look, thank you very much. always a pleasure, eliot. character he is of the taxpayers alliance . his their taxpayers alliance. his their investigations campaign manager. are you particularly angry , all are you particularly angry, all of this stuff? i get the fact that the optics of this are awful, by the way, and undoubtedly is some waste, especially when surrounds especially when it surrounds financial wine. i do. financial and fine wine. i do. i do get all of that. but there are i would argue, other bigger things that government and things that the government and everybody else is wasting a lot of money on. but it would mean patrick christys news. patrick christys on gb news. coming book contains coming up, any book contai

joining me now is the former mp for fermanagh tyrone, which is just down the road, a nice ulster unionist mlattle bit about what went on here last night. well, it appears the officer who was a volunteer marine as a as a youth coach , it was just clearing up coach, it was just clearing up from his youth session and a coaching session. and he was approached by two masked gunmen who fired a number of shots and hurt him. and as you say, he is now critically ill and hospital. tell us a little bit about this area. what sort of area is this area. what sort of area is this a number? well, it's a it's a middle class area. it's quite mixed. and it's religion and community. there's a bit of industry here in the area, but the sports complex is very, very widely used by a whole section of all sports clubs, not only football , but gaelic athletics, football, but gaelic athletics, a and it's just very, very popular in most evenings. you wouldn't get a car parking space here at all. and, you know, it's used by everybody and that's what makes it, i suppose, even more difficult to accept is this this man was c
