sinn fein were unequivocal in their condemnation of saturday‘s attack. the kind of heightened focus on the relationship between the republic of ireland, northern ireland and the border in the light of the whole brexit situation? for republican dissidents, it is not about a hard border or soft border, basically do not want the border anywhere on the island of ireland. that said, the focus on the border through brexit has been useful for dissidents because it has focused again the issue upon the partition of ireland, the border and what to do about that border, so it is useful, but dissident violence preceded the rows about brexit and will carry on even if the issue of brexit is resolved. for dissidents, it‘s about removing british rule from northern ireland. brexit provides a useful opportunity for such dissidents. thank you for joining us from liverpool this morning. china has confirmed the birth of the world‘s first gene—edited babies, saying the scientist involved acted alone and broke rules banning the procedure. let‘s find out the latest from our chi

sinn fein, if you like, almost take the opposite argument to arrive at the opposite argument to arrives would give the dup a veto over the backstop and a backstop that can be vetoed is not a backstop at all. as regards the bottom line on these government proposals, in orderfor it to on these government proposals, in order for it to be on these government proposals, in orderfor it to be in place at on these government proposals, in order for it to be in place at all the stormont assembly would have to be restored and the general view here is that the current situation and impasse over brexit makes any restoration over devolution even more unlikely. chris page in stormont. so as mps begin another five days of debate, what will they be weighing up — and what is at stake? our reality check correspondent, chris morris, has this assessment. so, in downing street, they're trying to figure out the numbers in the house of commons, to work out whether they have any hope of getting this vote passed. but don't forget, amidst all the political drama, it's the documents that have been negotiated beh

so from the sinn fein's point of view these proposals are problematic because even if there was a numericaley say it is not going to give the dup a veto over the backstop and that would mean the backstop is in a backstop at all. the dup having taken the opposite position, they say this is not legally binding. they would see it more as could stormont being consulted rather than an official veto inside doesn't go far enough to deal with their concerns of the unionist position within the uk being undermined by this brexit withdrawal agreement. the parties have been out this morning, giving their thoughts on the government proposals before they were actually published, making those comments on the basis of various things that had appeared in the media and comments by david liddington on bbc radio four this morning. so nothing official since the document has been published in the last half an hour but i doubt we would see any significant changes in the positions of the two largest parties in northern ireland on this. if they don't agree to it, that will put a barrier in front of the restoration

would have jeremy corbyn and his here history in northern ireland, the fact that he sat down with sinn feinust to emphasise christian's points and a nerdy point on the maths, if the democratic unionist party mps did not votes with the government, she would have lost by one vote and that would have lost by one vote and that would be that. you two are very much in demand, i have more questions than i have time for but we will speak to christian soon. they disappeared and boris johnson speak to christian soon. they disappeared and borisjohnson popped up, we will not be having boris johnson later, we will have more of robertjohnson and christian fraser. billboard posters featuring pre—brexit quotes from prominent politicians have gone up around dover and london. a pro—remain group is behind them. the group posted quotes on twitter and asked followers to choose their favourites. this was one. it's a quote from 2017 by international trade secretary liam fox: "the free trade agreement that we will do with the euroean union should be one of the easiest in human history." this is another poster spot

sinn fein also rejected the government ‘s idea from the opposite point of view, they say if you takee dup a veto would not be acceptable because they regard the dup as being on the wrong side of the argument. one of the problem is that the assembly hasn't met for two years is that the assembly hasn't met for two yea rs now. is that the assembly hasn't met for two years now. so without any store might assembly, these planes by the comment could have taken shape anyway. the hold—up in the brexit process cove red anyway. the hold—up in the brexit process covered by no means, has anything been resolved today. with me is the chair of the commons brexit committee — the labour mp hilary benn. i'm just one. i'mjust one. i'm i'm just one. i'm wondering what you make of events today? the actual votes that took place and the controversy, what's your take on it? i think it'sjust controversy, what's your take on it? i think it's just the sound of polymer taking back control. some members of the house didn't like it. the argument was about whether we get to vote on an amendment. if people like it,
