alternative measures that would bring benefits in terms of seamless trade both to the border between northern ireland but which if successful, more generally could be applied to give us smart borders on all the united kingdom's external borders, and perhaps offer us some export opportunities for that technology, as well. emily thornberry quoted the us speaker of the united states house of representatives, nancy pelosi, on a recent visit to northern ireland. who made it clear that if the uk government disrupted the open border in northern ireland, we could forget all about a free trade deal with the us. so the government will spend millions giving donald trump the red carpet, golden carriage treatment injune, and maybe the state banquet might even be worth it, so long as he is forced to sit next to greta thunberg! or how about this, if he has greta on one side and david attenborough on the other? that would be three hours well spent. but the truth is, mr speaker, that it will all be a giant waste of taxpayer money, because the us congress will never agree to a trade deal unless we have a solution for

sadly northern ireland has known far too many of these deaths in the past.ests were in the past and this happening now in 2019 is utterly shattering for so many people, particularly i think a younger generation who hasn't known this, experienced this. lyra was a well—known figure in the journalist and activist communities because she stood up for causes she believed in. she once wrote about the trauma of the ceasefire babies. what drove her to write the piece and look at her country's history? the sort of journalism she did was very reflective and considerate of the society she had grown up in and was opening to build a future in with her partner, sarah. looking back at the horrible conflict from which we have emerged, too many people still do not have justice, have emerged, too many people still do not havejustice, too many have emerged, too many people still do not have justice, too many deaths and injuries. ithink do not have justice, too many deaths and injuries. i think she was interested in exploring those stories and hearing the legacy handed down fro

is not functioning, and particularly given there hasn't been an executive in northern irelandn as they would put is on attainable, obviously situation that's rejected by all the mainstream parties, but will be interesting is whether this incident will help to try to put the pressure on the political parties of northern ireland to seek to resolve the differences and reconvene the executive has a separate two years. way back i was in northern ireland recently covering brexit, that was the thing that some of the people we re the thing that some of the people were talking about. they were talking about storment isn't sitting, had the question is how close are the parties if at all, to being able to come together? the noise is, that has been coming out, would suggest that they're not. there's very little sign that they are there's very little sign that they a re close there's very little sign that they are close to an agreement, and really there's been no momentum for it at least 8—12 months coming holdings gone quiet, it's interesting today that simon has gone off apparently to me

welcome to west to reduce the lander's game of thrones or in reality northern ireland. large parts of the famous t.v. series were filmed here over the past ten years. one of the main reasons the game of thrones came to northern ireland was the well for scenery every one of our six countries has a slightly different look to it it has a different geology has a different landscape for two seasons richard hodgson played one of the wild links in game of thrones. now he gives tours of the locations. fans can visit the original settings for example the twelfth century in chappie south of belfast and if they like they can even become knights of western isles for a brief moment. and in every step they retort we took pictures of it it's amazing it's amazing it's i felt like i'm actually in the foul it's amazing. in the landscape score just on its own that's quite impressive especially coming from australia you don't have anything like this. game of thrones is set in a fantasy. world where families battle for control of the continent of western or else. they're coming. our enemy d

yesterday saw a huge outpouring of grief and shock and sorrow, notjust in northern ireland but aroundformer president bill clinton has been tweeting his shock and sadness at the moor that happened on thursday night. what about the range of political action and the sense there has been one message coming from all the communities in northern ireland to express their horror at this attack? the leaders of six of the parties attended a vigil in londonderry where lyra mckee was shot, leaders of the dup, the uup, the sdlp, sinn fein, the alliance party and the green party standing as one. they have released a joint statement earlier in the day saying the killing was a pointless and futile act to try to wreck the progress made in the past 20 years. yesterday was good friday, the good friday agreement was signed on good friday in 1998. there has been a universal condemnation from politicians here of the killing and many have attended other vigils. there will be more vigils across northern ireland today, perhaps indicative of the horror and revulsion that this young woman plasma killing has pro

we northern ireland over the last 20 years.ers of the democratic unionist party, arlene foster and michelle 0'neill, the sinn fein northern leader, come together at a vigil near the scene of the murder. that was quite a show of the murder. that was quite a show of unity. that is not an area of the city where unionist politicians would be seen out on the streets and they were given a warm welcome by they were given a warm welcome by the people of that area. at that vigil sara canning, the partner of lyra mckee also spoke. the senseless murder of lyra mckee has left a family without a beloved daughter, a sister, an aunt, and a great aunt, has left so many friends without their confidant. victims of the lgbtqa community are left without a tireless advocate and activist. it has left me without the love of my life, the woman that i was planning to grow old with. we are all poorer for the loss of lyra. 0ur hopes and dreams, and all of her amazing potential, was snuffed out by a single barbaric act. this cannot stand. lyra's death mus

then came a reproachful plea, directed at northern ireland's divided politicians. god's name, does it take the death of a 29—year—old woman with her whole life in front of her... applause an uncomfortable reminder that more than two years since the breakdown of power—sharing in northern ireland, these leaders, who've come together in solidarity today, have failed to show the same unity in government. i dare to hope that lyra's murder on holy thursday evening can be the doorway to a new beginning, and i detect a deep desire for this. church organ plays exactly 21 years after the good friday agreement, lyra mckee, gunned down by the new ira, has prompted a backlash against modern day dissident republicans. applause the shock of lyra mckee's death has been felt widely, but there is also a sense of hope here it can bring a new turning point which helps northern ireland move forward. it should have been a thing of the past, you know. it's ridiculous, you know. it's a small minority who hold the whole country to ransom, or who are trying to do it, you know? a young girl'
