the westminster constituency i�*m in has a sinn fein mp.t is very much that political republicanism, sinn fein very clear and unequivocal in its condemnation of the attack on the police. back then 25 years ago well before the good friday peace agreement was signed in 1998, sinn fein would not have been condemning attacks on police officers, they then would have been linked to the ira would have been carrying out many of those attacks, but the peace process has changed so much, changed the security landscape, the whole area around here is much less militarised than it once was, so the support that dissident republicans have i think is very small indeed and police officers will say republican groups are small in number, have next to no in their communities, but they still can pose a threat to members of the security forces . the number of asylum seekers waiting for a decision on their case in the uk has risen to record levels. there are now around 166,000 people in the backlog. last year more than three—quarters of all claims were sucessful —

in may, there was an election where for the first time, sinn fein overtook the first time, sinn feindup to become the biggest party at stormont. if devolution is restored here, that would mean for the first time, sinn fein would hold the first time, sinn fein would hold the first minister's office. that is one of the domestic, if you like a political dynamics going on here, which could be feeding in to the dup's which could be feeding in to the dup�*s analysis of where it goes from here. the dup fundamentally, its leader said jeffrey donaldson says it is up for restoring the devolved government if the northern ireland protocol is substantially changed, if trade barriers between northern ireland and england, scotland and wales are removed and if, as they see it, northern ireland's place in the uk is fully restored. as things stand, the dup views the northern ireland protocol as an economic barrier in the irish sea, something which separates northern ireland from the rest of the uk. so the dup have been pretty clear that they are not going to make any swift decision on any deal that co

however, what about sinn fein and would stormont be re—established, sinn fein have the largest vote at and brand consulting company. he began by giving us some context to these figures. it's quite disappointing, there was hope at the beginning of this year that inflation in food and drink was going to start falling, but it seems to have kicked up again and that is before the latest news about shortages in fruit, vegetable and salads. it is worth remembering, we have now got pretty used to high level of inflation, because it's exactly a year since the race of price increases, just started, which was then kicked on with the energy crisis brought about by the ukraine war. we are hoping that price inflation will start moderating this year, starts to come down, but that doesn't mean prices will fall, just means they are not going up quite quickly. means they are not going up quite cuickl . 9 , 9. means they are not going up quite cuickl . 9 , :, , : means they are not going up quite cuickl . 9 , : :, :, quickly. when you expect that to ha--en? quickly. when you expect that to happen? it's _

and then i believe last will be sinn fein. well 1015 seems like that magic time.e'll keep our eyes peeled closely to the goings on. there belfast. but for now, dougie beattie thank you for joining us. let's get some reaction to this now from conservative side of things. matthew is the chairman of the northern ireland conservatives and. matthew, have you been speaking in your capacity , the speaking in your capacity, the conservative party in ireland, to people in westminster about the pro—gay rights? because i do stress how long this process has been going . well, we have a been going. well, we have a great team in the northern ireland office with chris heaton—harris and steve baker, and we've had a series of conversations since they've been imposed over the course of the negotiations. we've always remained, from the conservative standpoint in northern ireland, are open minded to the negotiations. yes we have some of the same concerns that unionism has broadly as it relates to northern ireland protocol. we're also pragmatic and we need get a deal over the line her

sinn fein early next week.ing of the border on the island of ireland and a protection of the good friday agreement in all of its parts. those are the core elements and aspects that need to be protected . it seems to us that protected. it seems to us that it's very much game on. we're very heartened by that. we're very, very conscious a deal can be done, should now be concluded speedily. we hope that will be the case. the snp has postponed a conference on independence . a conference on independence. the resignation of the first minister, nicola . it comes as minister, nicola. it comes as the executive committee said a ballot to select the new party will close on the 27th of march. deputy first minister john swinney and south west mp joanna have already announced . they have already announced. they won't be entering the race . won't be entering the race. around 1500 ambulance workers in wales will now join almost 10,000 gmb members across england in a strike on monday. it's after the gmb union announced its staff

. parties, the likes of sinn fein.is , are actually in pa here he is, are actually in pa here and also in the republic of ireland for to use their mep to make sort of try to change those laws or move around them and say europe. so basically northern ireland for unionists have become a cold. it's been annexed , but it's been done in such a way that this is a trade deal and people keep on saying this is a brilliant deal, it's a great deal, it's not a good deal for northern ireland because what it is a way of the eu protecting this single market. it's all about money and you just i just think it's just to bnng just i just think it's just to bring this down to sort of real everyday bread and butter issues. the single market rules aren't just about trading between countries. they also about things like state about things like like state aid. so the, the, the energy subsidy that everyone's getting sort of lots and lots of money off their bills in scotland, wales and in england. it has to be done differently in northern irela

so if you add from sinn fein?if you add all that together, it is maybe not surprise that the dup are not a surprise that the dup are not a surprise that the dup are not rushing into the decision on all of this . no, i understand all of this. no, i understand that the internal politics, local elections , all of that. local elections, all of that. but darren, you know, what was said very clearly by sir jeffrey donaldson is they want to have a look at the legal texts . are we. look at the legal texts. are we. do you think we're any closer to understanding whether the so—called veto really is a veto and whether whether this means. well is going to be fundamental treaty change? so i think in some regards, yes. because jeffrey donaldson gave the impression this morning that he is at least superficially looked at this idea of the so—called stallman break. and he does seem to think that it could possibly work . but you're right, the dup work. but you're right, the dup have drafted in lawyers to go through all of this . th

sinn fein has welcomed the deal and says dup should now enable the return of devolved government thealled the windsor framework and principally it involves creating green and red lanes for goods moving into northern ireland from great britain. those goods destined only for northern ireland would use that green lane with virtually no checks needed and so getting rid of that highly controversial customs border in the irish sea. however, that will stay, as we can see, for the second lane, the red line, the goods destined for the red line, the goods destined for the republic of ireland, in other words the european union. they would still have to be checked in that lane. the northern ireland assembly would have the power to fend off any changes to eu regulations. it is called the stormont break, but the eu is saying that will only be for emergencies. but as we know, the northern ireland assembly isn't even sitting right now and that is because the democratic unionists have withdrawn their cooperation because of the current trade deal arrangements. the question is, will the attitude change

we have also heard from sinn fein basically calling for the resumption of talks in the political processhat your take is on how the deal has gone down? —— wider reaction. jim on how the deal has gone down? -- wider reaction.— wider reaction. jim alister has been the dup arch _ wider reaction. jim alister has been the dup arch nemesis. _ wider reaction. jim alister has been the dup arch nemesis. he - wider reaction. jim alister has been the dup arch nemesis. he is - wider reaction. jim alister has been the dup arch nemesis. he is one i wider reaction. jim alister has been the dup arch nemesis. he is one of| the dup arch nemesis. he is one of the dup arch nemesis. he is one of the seats here in the assembly a traditional unionist voice, a party which is more hard—line than the dup, the dup under pressure not to accept that deal, not to resurrect power re—sharing here becausejim alister would be opposed to sinn fein first minister coming as well indeed being the case of michelle o�*neill being first mr as institutions are restored. so the dup bearing in mind the electoral threat from mr ali

sinn fein is there now with the pm, mary lou mcdonald, the leader of sinn fein, and michelle o'neillt michelle o'neill, the first minister, and winning both entered here about 20 minutes ago. they're meeting will be over very shortly and then we are expecting in the dup now of course dup have to buy into deal course dup have to buy into deal. unionists do not the protocol they have never liked . protocol they have never liked. it says that it takes them away from the uk. it takes this part of the uk away , even making laws of the uk away, even making laws and under the laws of the uk. 70% of the goods that are sold and northern ireland are through the uk and vice versa . nearly the uk and vice versa. nearly 20% anywhere from 12 to 20% of the food that is in the uk comes from northern ireland. so there's quite a big relationship there's quite a big relationship there between the uk and northern ireland and that is being broken by the protocol today. being broken by the protocol today . these talks and tend to today. these talks and tend to try and straighten that out and get the gover

sinn fein described the attack as "outrageous and shameful". party has called for those responsible to be brought tojustice. 0ur correspondent emma vardy has more. the shooting happened in front of young players, training at a football coaching session. it's thought the off—duty officer was shot multiple times at around 8 o'clock in the evening. local political leaders have condemned the attack, calling it despicable and cowardly. i'm totally devastated and in shock and without words as to why or how this has happened in 0magh or any part of our community on this island. there are no words for the details that i'm hearing. the impact it has already had and will have when other details emerge. the officer is known to be a senior detective, and he's being treated at altnagelvin hospital in londonderry. irish police have increased patrols in neighbouring counties after reports the gunman may have fled across the border after the attack. there's continued to be a security threat against police officers in northern ireland since the end of the troub

i have spoken to sinn fein . they have spoken to sinn fein. they have spoken to sinn fein.e's been a lot of discussion between the dup and the unionist movements and the government because of course, obviously, that is the fundamental schism that's emotive , very evolved since the emotive, very evolved since the protocol was negotiate by the government previously . so, yeah, government previously. so, yeah, i think the other communities and as i can see, the nationalist parties , they will nationalist parties, they will be supporting this deal because it does keep the fundamentals of access the single market in place. i've thought it also does is make sure that it just gives a lot more smooth firmness and a lot of the barriers that were put within the united kingdom have been tackled. they did that because rishi sunak chose to talk and negotiate rather than continue the rules. but hopefully now we can put this behind us, because none of nothing in this deal takes us anywhere more in a more advanced place than were before the protocol. so we've just basically got back to the

sinn fein saying it is a shameful attack, the dup calling it reprehensible.rity threat against police officers. that is something that dates back to the conflict here known as the troubles, but today it is much more rare for police officers to come to harm. the last time a police officer was shot was in 2017. a murder attempt by dissident republican paramilitaries, and in 2011, a police officer was murdered in a bomb under his car. so, tonight, this incident will come as a real shock. we don't know any of the details yet behind the attack, but all police are saying is a serving police officer has been shot and remains in hospital. in the last few minutes prime minister rishi sunak has said i am appalled by the shooting tonight. my thoughts are when the officer and his family. there is no police in our society for those who seek to harm public servants protecting communities. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme — can you solve the mystery? look at this — it washed up on a japanese beach — and everyone is asking �*what is it?�* pr
