she is consulting on the text and she is talking to sinn fein.t. she has to win back the dup, but not in a way that sinn fein tumble out of the equation. it is very difficult. a dup source said this evening that the wording is toxic and has to go. another dup source said they did not like the wording and could just about envisage a situation where the existing wording stays, but the new wording would have to be dramatically in their favour for that to happen. plus, michel barnier has said, effectively, that there is 48 hours to sort this out. gosh, that clears the head. and intervention on philip hammond as well. he told the treasury select committee that it would be inconceivable for the uk not to pay its financial settlement of the uk, even if we don't have a deal. downing street came out a few hours later and said, i think not. they said the offer from the uk was contingent on getting that future trade relationship. a few hours earlier, david davis, the brexit secretary, confirmed that the government hadn't carried out a formal impact assessme

this was sinn fein's responds.ncluding the dup, acts in the common good. theresa may has now some hard thinking to do. a deal with the dup versus a deal with the eu. it may not be possible to have both. let's speak now to the bbc‘s former ireland correspondent, denis murray. he's in our belfast newsroom. it does seem somewhat surprising that the prime minister apparently made an offer to the irish government which was always going to be unacceptable to the unionists. well, there are two possibilities there. one is that either theresa may and her diplomats, her team thought it was acceptable to the democratic unionist party, or they hoped the text wouldn't get out. the text that appeared on the irish broadcaster rtp used that phrase about no regulatory divergences. in other words the con and macrocosm than trade regulations and so forth would remain the same. that is the proverbial red flag to the dup, because they say they would rather have a hard border. they say they don't want that but they would rather have a h

for everyone in northern ireland, there are other parties there and of course there is this point, sinn feinaise the issue of this time and again and tonight they are having the first of a number of rallies, talking about what was ireland needs in this. so you have a political situation that is becoming more and more difficult and i suppose devices for the prime minister as she tries to find some kind of compromise that keeps everyone happy. it is not going to be easy. thank you very much. within the hour we're expecting president trump to break with decades of us government policy by recognising jerusalem as the capital of israel — a decision that's already led to widespread criticism across the middle east. in his speech at washington's national defense university — mr trump is also expected to approve plans to move the us embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem — though that is not expected to happen for several years — as jon donnison reports. over the millenia, few cities have been so contested or seen so much conflict as jerusalem. israel regards it as its undivided capital. today, donald t

sinn fein don't take their seats at westminster, but we are talking about one of the constituent parts and spoke about being the prime minister of great britain and northern ireland. it is part of the uk and deserves similar treatment to the rest of the uk. that's hiving off divergence with the rest of the uk outside the european union and northern ireland locked into the republic and into the eu but with no real say in things would create a second—class situation for northern ireland. jan says, "we were told so many different things that it now seems clear nobody had a clue." emma tweets, "the conservatives haven't a clue. we are being led into a dayser. those in northern ireland are allowed to stay in the eu, while the rest are led into the abyss." another says geraintjones is an utter embarrassment. after 10am, we'll talk to the second contestant voted out of i'm a celebrity, former leader of scottish labour kezia dugdale who says she has no regrets and knows she now has to make amends with labour colleagues and voters. next, a warning that sex offenders are grooming children as the

that is something that sinn fein called for straight after the eu referendum result for northern irelandre the three positions we are dealing with. as you have highlighted, it is a delicate balance. you might presume that before the government had gone to the european union that they might have worked that out, but it doesn't seem that was necessarily the case. the reason theresa may went to brussels was she would get a deal. i believe that is why she went. in the morning they were very confident when she came out with jean—claude juncker to say we confident when she came out with jean—claudejuncker to say we are confident of a deal by lunchtime. that started to waver. at teatime it was all off. it was extraordinary for politics and for brexit negotiations. there is indication that the dup did know. the complexity about this is over the language. we haven't said that we are staying in the union, but there is this kind of alignment so to speak, which is what the dup are struggling with, the alignment and the shift towards dublin as opposed to london. let me show you the times this morning

the sinn fein president gerry adam is giving a qualified welcome to the brexit deal, saying in dublindress many areas of concern for many citizens. so, that's the reaction from gerry adams to that brexit deal. also let me just tell you what's happening in the democratic republic of congo. we're getting reports that a large number of united nations peacekeepers have been killed and wounded in an attack in eastern congo. we will bring you more on that as it comes to us. let's get a look at the weather. we know there is lots of snow around. yes, some amazing weather watcher pictures have been sent in today. yes, it is beautiful but it is bitterly cold out there. the showers have been coming in from the north and west throughout the morning into the afternoon. little change, really. favoured spots have been scotland and northern ireland and down towards the midlands, east anglia and the south—east of england. parts of wales as well. so far, we've got totals at about seven—11 centimetres. there will be further snow showers this evening, and that might make for some tricky driving condition

it's a ceremonial role but then they say, it is sinn fein and fine gael, you are from opposite sides,react to the language, i hearthe language... is to stay calm. don't react to the language, i hear the language... are you surprised? no, it does not surprise me. these are sensitive moment and there is a lot of risk, there is a lot of adrenaline in the uk following the decision to leave the uk but what is much more important is over time there's a realisation of what means and in particular around the island of ireland issues which means six months ago, people did not appreciate it. we could live without that language, it does not have relationships, but we have gone through worse. if we have to hear things we would rather not hear, soviet, i can deal with it politically but as long as i can go to my constituents and say we did good work because we avoided in the document any talks of a hard border, we are going to build the relationships on the good friday agreement and we are going to make sure that there is no divergence. if we can deliver on that, then we can ta ke we can deliver o
