well, it is a good thing the northern ireland and i welcome the northern ireland and i welcome the factrgued that the election just a few weeks ago that all parts of the uk needs extra money the public services, they are strapped for cash right across the whole of the uk. so one of the questions that will come out of this, of course, is what this means that other parts of britain, in particular scotland and wales, given the way money is traditionally allocated equitably across the uk, does this mean there will be extra money for them as well? again, the government has said this is money that will be spent by the northern ireland executive, it won't be spent, obviously, by the dup per se. no, and that gets us to the crux of the matter, really, which is does this help or hinder the prospect of getting the power—sharing executive that has been suspended for six months up and running? we have got talks going on even as we speak in belfast, trying to do that. some of the parties prior to this deal were worried that the dup being in bed with the tories at westminster would compromise the abil

peace process is the uk government needs to be impartial, between all competing interests in northern ireland jurisdiction ireland. the good friday agreement saysjurisdiction shall ireland. the good friday agreement says jurisdiction shall be exercised with rigorous impartiality. that is entirely right. that was always the intention right from the start of the negotiations. the danger is that however much any government tries, they will not be seen to be impartial if they are locked into a parliamentary deal at westminster with one of the northern ireland parties and you never know in what unpredictable way events will turn out. and we cannot know if that impartiality is going to be crucial and some stage in the future. very, very interesting comments from the former conservative leader, sirjohn major, speaking on radio four in the last half an hour. it is very noisy, if you can still hear me! helicopters are above. the meetings are still going on. we are keeping an eye on it. as soon as arlene foster emerges from number ten, we will be straight back with you. we wa nt to will be straight bac

and jeffrey donaldson is right, why should northern ireland constituents be less important. hat 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 wa

we can talk to the former northern ireland secretary theresa villiers, whojoins us northern ireland secretary out there. what is your reaction? i believe that as the public are given us a hung parliament it is our responsibility to make that work and producing workable government is greatly assisted by this confidence and supply agreement, which has been published today. workable. how difficult is going to be? it is very difficult is going to be? it is very difficult from when we have the coalition government in it was basically unity between the two parties to work together for a full term and it gave a working majority of around 50 mps. this is a working majority of ten individual mps. individual mps in both parties will have a lot of sway going ahead. individual mps in both parties will have a lot of sway going aheadm will be very different from the coalition with the lib dems. there will be challenges ahead. it will require hard work on all sides but, actually, minority government and arrangements of this sort are very common in many european countries. for example, in ireland they've had

in northern ireland. theresa may has abandoned her evenhandedness, the government‘s even approach, regardless of party interest, to the northern ireland peace process. that does put contiued progress at risk. the first secretary of state is talking about the agreement between the dup and the conservatives. . it's the dup and the conservatives. . it‘s in the uk‘s interests at this crucial time. this agreement means the dup will support the government on votes on the queen‘s speech, the budget and on legislation relating to our exit from the european union and national security. it will ensure that we can govern in the national interest, strengthening and enhancing the union, keeping our country and enhancing the union, keeping our cou ntry safe, and enhancing the union, keeping our country safe, delivering prosperity for all and securing a departure from the european union which benefits all parts of the united kingdom. to support this agreement, the government will chair a coordination committee involving

that's true because as colum says, northern ireland's position is recognised in the good friday agreementent. that is where we have to locate the argument. special status, i believe, is something the republic of ireland should be looking for so that they can continue their trade with northern ireland and gb. 70—80% of the trade coming out of ireland... wouldn't special status for both be better? we don't need it. northern ireland, as part of the uk, is leaving the eu as part of a uk wide referendum. the uk entered the eec as one nation and it will leave the european union as one nation. article 50 has been triggered so the most important part of it is the 18 mp5 of northern ireland going across to westminster and arguing our point. the best time that northern ireland ever gained out of europe was when the three meps, john hume, ian paisley and jim nicholson, were in europe, arguing on behalf of northern ireland. the best deal northern ireland will get out of leaving the european union is when they have 18 mp5 sitting on the benches of westminster, arguing our case as northern ireland plc.

, not just dup benefit everyone in northern ireland, notjust dup boaters. up boaters. there are a number of sticking points at stormont, sinn fein want legal recognition for the irish and would, the dup have been opposed to bringing in same—sex marriage in northern ireland. some observers think nationalists will be wary of the deal between the main unionist party and the conservatives. sinn fein in particular and the other ones that count are going to be very suspicious of what's in the deal because even if there is a document and details, first they had to decide if there's anything else behind—the—scenes that we don't know, what could there be, for either be? the key question here is that the agreement to stabilise the uk government will help to bring stability to northern ireland. there arejust over stability to northern ireland. there are just over three days left to save devolution. and chris page is in belfast. the last talks to 18 days, no luxury of that with this set. that's absolutely right simon and right now here at stormont negotiators are the ga

returning to the issue of the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland, one of the key issues that eu negotiators, illuminate for us if you would how the dup‘s position on that and the conservative position might affect brexit. arlene foster had said prior to the election that she did not want a hard border between the north and the south, and if we leave the customs union and there is nothing put in its place, there is nothing put in its place, the northern ireland border will be the northern ireland border will be the outer border with the eu and so for that reason, if we left the customs union, there would have to bea customs union, there would have to be a hard border, customs checks on all the goods coming from the south and the rest of the eu into northern ireland. 0nce and the rest of the eu into northern ireland. once you start talking about hard borders, you are into difficult territory because there are 300 crossing points between north and south of ireland. it will cost very large sum of money to police those crossings. some of it can be done by electroni

or northern ireland right now.he economic agenda and the concerns about jobs and employment and so on because that is something that was almost completely missing from this discussion and one of the reasons why i really despise corbyn labour as an ex lefty myself is that it is now a completely bourgeois phenomenon. this is now a monopoly, monopolised by urban professionals and middle—class university students, and there has been scarcely a word said about the tragedy, the post—industrial tragedy, of working class communities in this country. it is now dead, that kind of life, a community built around a local industry, steelworks or manufacturing or coal mining. that is gone. we have lost a generation. and those are the truly forgotten people and nobody on either side of the fence and it is particularly culpable on labour's part has had a word to say about this. there is no easy solution, but they might have had something to say to the old industrial proletariat. i think that is a very interesting point. 0bviously,

he is bbc northern ireland's political and economics editor. good morning, john.have learned, what is the inside track on the discussions that have been going on, statement issued overnight from both the dup and the prime minister? it was a bit messy overnight with that statement ping—pong in the early hours but ultimately what is going on here is the dup are looking for a financial deal. if we go back to 2015, the dup had planned specifically for a hung parliament and what they would want in return for their support for propping up a minority government. at the heart of the document were three things. they wa nted the document were three things. they wanted real terms increase in health and education spending overfive yea rs, and education spending overfive years, they wanted investment in northern ireland infrastructure, and they wanted help with transforming public services. those are quite vague requests, they are also potentially very expensive. the dup does not want to seek further austerity, back in 2015 there were calling for the abolition of the bedroom t

the needs that northern ireland faces arejust as much needs that northern ireland faces are just as muchre massively lower than they are for the average citizen in wales, scotland and the english regions, and yet this bung, this extra money, is being given to northern ireland, after seven years of the austerity that the whole of the uk has faced. we are used to sta ble the uk has faced. we are used to stable majority government in this country, but in plenty of european countries, there are deals done between political parties. that is the way of politics. but other countries where that happens to not have a northern ireland legacy to manage. it is not so long ago when the bombs and the bullets were erupting in northern ireland. i don't think we will go back to that, but it is absolutely essential that a british prime minister must be seen as an honest broker, to use john major, the former conservative prime minister said, i am, as a secretary of state, afraid that the interests of theresa may have been put ahead of the interests of the peace protest, and the interests of wales, scotland

is that the taxpayers in england and wales and scotland will continue to suffer austerity and northern irelandorthern irish control of parliament. it's about being able to make westminster work at all. ministers knew this criticism would come — are they prepared? i'm not against investment in northern ireland, i welcome investment in infrastructure and public services but there ought to be fairness. if there's investment coming to northern ireland, scotland should be getting its fair share. you're paying £100 million to the dup for every single one of their votes. you've bought them off, haven't you? people in all parts of the country are benefiting from the fact that we have a strong enough economy that we can afford to spend more money on health. we placed 8 billion on health around the country. if you're cancelling austerity in northern ireland, you're not cancelling it anywhere else and people in scotland, wales, the north of england, haven't they got every right to feel quite cross about this? well, people in scotland, wales and different parts of england are getting money but this is sep

of ireland, between the republic and northern ireland, if thatis republic and northern ireland, if thate anything else if we got out of the single market and the customs union, if it is a hard border, then the dup will be massively attacked at home. they don't want that, and therefore, this whole deal could impact on the brexit negotiation as well, and we could see the government effectively being pushed into a position where theresa may does not want to be, though there would be a majority in parliament forum at —— in parliament for it... the temptation is to look at this from one side as being what about the conservatives get out of the dup, but the dup will push strongly, and this may come down to more money for northern ireland. yes, i think they will. they are entitled to, and i would in their shoes. they will push very hard, and i'm sure they will want to secure more investment, better support for well per —— welfare provision, the provision of pensions, all of those issues, and they will strike a very ha rd issues, and they will strike a very hard deal. they are very professional

well, i have spoken to a number of former northern ireland secretary‘s to a number of former northernhern ireland secretary‘s state today to ask them for their opinions on the deal that has been worked out between the dup and theresa may and the conservatives and what impact that could have on the political talks in northern ireland. shaun woodward was one of those, he was labour‘s northern ireland secretary between 2007 and 2010 and he told me that theresa may was treading a dangerous line by forcing a deal with the dup. since the time of john major, we got into position for the british government, labour, conservative, have taken a view that they must be neutral in dealing with they must be neutral in dealing with the politics and politicians and the parties of northern ireland. that was how we put together the good friday agreement, it is how we have put forward the many devolution programmes achieving full devolution in 2010. theresa may now, for her own survival, is now going to drive a coach and horses through the principle that neutrality. it is essential for both sides, unioni

will northern ireland only get the money if a northern ireland power sharing deal goes ahead?the parties in northern ireland? my understanding and i haven't seen the full details, i haven't seen the full details, i have seen the public document that was released is that the money is for the northern ireland executive to spend and the best way for that to spend and the best way for that to happen is for all the political parties in northern ireland to get back to stormont and take over devolved government because what we wa nt devolved government because what we want here in westminster is for the northern ireland executive to run those devolved issues in northern ireland. that's our desire. that's what we're ailing for. ok. ok, but you are not clear on that so that does need clarification. let me bring in our other guests who have questions for you. we have an snp mp and the metro mayor of liverpool and rebecca webster and elliot who has mental health issues and has been affected by austerity. who would like to talk to james first as a representative of the conservative govern
