halfway through their world cup tie northern ireland trail i—o halfway through their world cup tie northern after a controversial penalty was awarded. there is a defeat for scotland as well as the netherlands beat them in a friendly. and we will have the action from the women's ashes test in sydney where england have work to do going into day two. we will start with that disappointing night for northern ireland. michael o'neill's side was beaten. our sports correspondence is at windsor park. it was a hugely frustrating night given the way the goal came about? i think that is absolutely right. there were 18,000 fa ns absolutely right. there were 18,000 fans in the stadium behind me. you may be able to see the floodlights still on that still is referred to as windsor park and they made a tremendously enthusiastic noise right through the 50 minutes of the match. it was fair to say that switzerland were on top. they could of and should have scored once or twice before the infamous incident. that is hard to accept the way in which switzerland got their chance to score their goal. a volley from s

much more attacking spirit from the northern ireland tea m spirit from the northern ireland team in thisrst one, but heartbreak for eve ryo ne first one, but heartbreak for everyone involved. they can be proud of the performers they put into night, and proud of the remarkable journey they have been on in the last five years. they have gone from a team languishing outside the world's top 100 to 18just a team languishing outside the world's top 100 to 18 just outside the world's top 20. now you wonder how many of those faces in the team will stay there for the next olivine campaign which gets under way for the euro 2020. the veterans aaron hughes, steven davis, gareth mcauley, ageing players, will be still be a part of that side considering that they are getting older? perhaps this was the last roll of the dice for them. manager michael o'neill has been receiving many plaudits for the way he has transformed this northern ireland team. he has been linked with the va ca nt scotla nd team. he has been linked with the vacant scotland manager's job, team. he has been linked with the vacant scot

but if a fix emerges that seems to turn northern ireland into a back door route into the single markett month, there will be a long way to go. police helicopters take so long to reach crime scenes that more than 40 % of incidents are over before the air support has arrived, according to a watchdog. inspectors have called for the service in england and wales to be urgently reformed or replaced, as our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford reports. air support has become an essential part of policing. for tracking criminals during crimes in action, for monitoring crowds, and for searching and filming from the air. but since the national police air service replaced individual force helicopters, the number of aircraft has dropped by a third, the number of bases has halved. there's no doubt in the country where your proximity to a base really counts about how quickly a helicopter gets to you, that's created some winners and losers. so in london, for example, the metropolitan police still gets a really fast response time when they call for a helicopter. it's there in a few minutes. in o

true that if you can at least have some agreement in principle about how you might solve the northern ireland not have a final resolution on that until you know what the trading relationship will look like. the issue would have been a snap election in ireland. we saw the resignation of the deputy prime minister earlier this week. we look towards the eu summit and we have the german coalition talks ongoing. there is a lost going on, background noise, as it were. this was something that people were always going to have to be ready for, the fa ct going to have to be ready for, the fact that the world was not going to stand still while it played out. the upshot is we are seeing it is possible to make progress on some of these points while that background noise is happening. in terms of background noise, let us look at tony blair. a former british prime minister doing an exclusive interview with le figaro in france. they grilled him about brexit. he is talking about the fact that perhaps something can be done in terms of the huge brexit bill. he is pointing out the fact that the bill is getting bi

sunny skies in the afternoon in northern ireland as the cloud breaks up, and a decent afternoon to comerow across northern england. eventually, things brighten up any standing. towards south wales and the south—west, we keep cloud, and across south—western areas, outbreaks of rain, turning light and patchy for a time during the day. but in the evening, the rain will turn heavy again, coupled with strong wind. further north on saturday night, cold with a touch of frost. as we move into sunday, remembrance sunday, of course, we lose the wet weather from the south. at this stage, we get into that crisp autumn weather, cold weather, though, the aircoming crisp autumn weather, cold weather, though, the air coming all the way from the arctic down across the british isles. we will see strong winds on sunday, gailes close to the eastern coast. in northern and eastern coast. in northern and eastern areas, showers, wintry over high ground. in lower levels in scotland, a lot of sunshine as well, temperatures 6—10 at best. southern areas will have to wait to see the mixture of sunshine and showers

northern ireland's border is being used as a bargaining chip in the brexit negotiations, according tone foster. she's accused ireland and the rest of the eu of being careless and reckless in the way they are using concerns as part of the brexit talks. it comes as the prime minister theresa may said she's ready to move the brexit talks forward. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports. the answers aren't written in the sky, but number ten has got ministers on board to dangle the promise of a bigger payment to brussels. theresa may hopes that will shift the eu to talking trade next month. we are ready to move onto phase two, to see those talks about a deep and special partnership with the eu for the future. but a hypothetical bigger bill isn't the only demand the brexit secretary's counterparts are making. the eu's pressing the uk to be more specific about what happens at the border between northern ireland and the south when it's time to leave. the northern ireland border cannot be fully addressed if we're not taking into account the shape of our future partnership with the europe

just to bring you up—to—date with the northern ireland tea m up—to—date with the northern ireland teamto midfield to replace the suspended corry evans. kyle lafferty who played as a lone striker in the first leg loses his place, having a tough time of it of late. it has been a year since he has scored an international goal. 0n been a year since he has scored an international goal. on paper, you have to say that northern ireland are massive underdogs in this match, quite a bit below switzerland in the world rankings. they are only three match losing streak, scoring just one goal. in the first leg against switzerland, they did not manage a single shot on target. but you have to say, northern ireland have been one of the surprise packages in european football in recent years. they had that incredible run in the european championships just last summer, reaching the last 16, fantastic result for them. and although, you have to say this is a formidable task for northern ireland, because they have shown themselves to be quite a formidable force in recent years, quite a resilient years, you wo

the hardest question in the brexit talks is about northern ireland.ey remains a major sticking point in the negotiations, but we know how we can fix that. there is no simple way out of the irish question. let us say britain is no longer in a customs union with the european union. that will let us strike trade deals with third countries who have no similar deal with the eu. but the eu needs to be able to stop goods from that third country flowing into northern ireland and then into the eu via the republic. further, what if we decide to divert from eu rules, so goods in our markets no longer meet all eu standards? ireland need to be able to check stuff and may be turned back before it gets into the market. so they need a border. now, everyone says they want to avoid that. a hard border would be a major economic burden, especially for farmers, and could undermine the peace process. the eu appears to be shifting position. in september, they said the onus to propose solutions which overcome the challenges created on the island of ireland remains on the uni

quite a lot of cloud in northern ireland, at a mainly dry day. could have an early shower spreading south in northern england. the stronger sunshine in northern england. sunny spells in east anglia and the south—east may not last too long. wales has cloud. that will spread east. outbreaks of rain as well. especially south wales and the long southern england into the afternoon and evening. some persistent spells for some of us. north—east england has plenty of sunshine. across scotland, showers in the far north. dry but cloudy in northern ireland. milder in south—west england. not that way with the cloud and rain elsewhere. single figure temperatures. cold air still with us on saturday night. rainfora time still with us on saturday night. rain for a time in south wales and southern england. more of us are clear in sunday morning. more widespread frost, a sharp frost for some, especially through scotland, northern, central and eastern parts of england. western areas could have bob on sunday. here we have cloud and patchy rain advancing north—east, m

so how would a border on literally the boundary between northern ireland and ireland affects trade?necessarily have to be on the border. there is talk of controls being inside northern ireland. because obviously the political ramifications of having a physical border security post on the board itself could be significant. inevitably if you are going to have some sort of check, there is the possibility of some friction anyway being introduced in trade between the republic of ireland and northern ireland and that could be difficult because there is a lot of trade which passes in both directions every day. how different then would it be if the border were outside northern ireland and you used the whole of the island of ireland, north and south, as a sort of separate entity for trade purposes? then you would be talking about trying to introduce some sort of border between northern ireland and great britain. i think, the government has ruled that out already, and of course politically it would be very difficult for the dup to accept. what examples are there for lawyers to draw upon to po

set a budget for northern ireland.s has been made, the parties have not yet reached an agreement. i'm not in a position to bring before the house the legislation necessary for an executive to be formed this week. the consequence of this is that it is now highly unlikely that an executive could be in place within a timetable to be insured of passing a budget before the end of november. which is the point at which we and the northern ireland civil service assessed that northern ireland will begin to run out of resources. no government could simply stand by and allow that to happen and we would you shirking our responsibilities to the people of northern ireland were we to do so. james brokenshire's opposite number used the opportunity to attack theresa may. we believe that the prime minister of great britain and northern ireland could get stuck into this problem and try and bring about a resolution over the impasse. it is, in my view, inexcusable and completely inexplicable that she's only visited northern ireland once du

and you're exempt in scotland, wales and northern ireland so the cost rests ona northern ireland so theare not exempt, people of working age with asthma, hmv, depression they are the people paying these description charges, it is tough to label these people as fraudsters, they need medical assistance and should be supportive and informative information from government rather than perhaps the sort of like behaving today. do you feel that in some ways it may be understandable that some people who are struggling with long—term conditions which mean they have to keep paying, they may occasionally try and circumvent that payment? we're talking with people with long—term pain so if you have arthritis or asthma medication you are taking is not trivial, it is about keeping it out of hospital and making sure you can stay and work. if those scots suddenly become higher than you can afford, you have to make some really difficult choices about whether you can afford food or heating, or medication. peeved putting people in that kind of impossible situation is something that has to be looked at both.

customs and trade barriers between northern ireland and the rest of the uk. strongly opposed to, the thing that will feel too much let them move towards a united ireland, if there was not some kind of special arrangement within the eu resembling the customs union. david davis, the brexit secretary, firmly ruling out possibility out. although the government to recognise the unique circumstances around northern ireland, and that for the issue, any solution to that would not mean there would be a border effectively placed in the uk itself. sinn fein said the documents showed northern ireland had to remain within the eu legal framework. they said ireland had to remain within the eu legalframework. they said if britain did not agree to that, then the irish government should use their veto to prevent brexit negotiations progressing onto the next phase. all in all pretty difficult to see how this particular circle can be squared. for more on this i'm joined by michaeljohnson, who is a former trade negotiator for the uk government and adviser on international trade po

but if their favoured solution, retaining northern ireland as part of the eu's customs union is to takenorth will have to be convinced that that is not pushing them towards a united ireland. the constitutional position can only be changed if there is a referendum and a united ireland, and that is contained in the good friday agreement. we are campaigning for that and we want to see that referendum and win that referendum. this is a practical measure. what can the uk say, short of keeping the north in the customs union, to convince ireland it should allow brexit talks to move on? we have not had sufficient detail from the uk government will stop when it comes to the border, we had a fine speech from the prime minister in florence and a lengthy paper but neither of which had any decent level of detail for the irish government to put out a proposal in relation to a new customs union. we want to make sure we have something similar or advanced from the uk government. back in fermanagh, what they want is a minimum of disruption to their supply chain, and a special status for the north that mi

on the other side of the river, northern ireland, the uk. of ireland. how do you resolve this? as we have heard, there is a bit of disagreement between britain and the irish government. the irish government, one of the 27 eu states that will be negotiating with britain. the british government say you can avoid physical checks on the border if you employ some kind of technology, some kind of electronic monitoring system for declaring goods even if you have the uk outside the customs union and the uk outside the customs union and the republic of ireland inside it. the irish government say that is not going to work, they would like a situation where northern ireland continues to follow the rules of the european union on customs, even if the rest of the uk doesn't. the problem with is that would mean checks between northern ireland and the rest of the uk. unionists, the political group that wanted to protect northern ireland's position in the uk, they are not happy about that. they are suspicious of anything that might be playing into the hands o

always on paper, northern ireland we re always on paper, northern ireland were the big underdogs, buthey put into night. proud of the incredible journey they have been on the last five or so years where they have come from a team ranked outside the world top 100 to just outside the world top 100 to just outside the world top 20. remarkable stuff, and testament to the manager and coaching staff. close for northern ireland but not close enough, and sadly their world cup dream is over. and the wait goes on. it has already been over 30 years. exactly, 31 yea rs been over 30 years. exactly, 31 years since northern ireland last reached the world cup. they have been a surprise package in european football in recent years with an incredible run in the euros in 2016, just last summer when they got to the last 16. many than expected they could do it here again and qualify for world cup. for the first time it would have been back—to—back major tournaments for them, but as i say, not close enough here. they gave a good account of themselves and i think they will be proud of the performance they p
