the mechanism, known as the windsor framework, aims to give the stormont assembly a greater say on howure —— but it's not known whether the european research group of euro—sceptic conservatives will join them. labour is backing the deal so the government is expected to win the vote. the northern ireland minister steve baker — who was formerly the chairman of the eurosceptic group of mps the european research group — said he would be voting for the deal as it was in the best interests of northern ireland of course it matters what the dup think, and they are entitled to have their concerns about what is a compromise. but what is really important as we serve the best interests of the people in northern ireland. i would say two things, firstly, let's not misrepresent what the protocol bill would do, it would have put in place a red and green channel for goods going to northern ireland, but in using that bill, we would wreck our relations with the european union and damage are standing internationally. that is a price we were willing to pay to get the kind of arrangements we now have in the

i could start with a stormont. stormont? yeah i know it's not stormont, but . but stormont? as at stormont and anyone want anyway , my kids are anyone want anyway, my kids are , you know, they're sort of in their thirties and are pretty close to it and why did i throw all their toys out? because when you talk about antiques, do you think about the antique roadshow things you think you're talking things you think you're talking things that are 100 years old, at least, but a set of pokemon cards who recently is going for £21,000? yeah, apparently 90 memorabilia is where it's at. we're talking tamagotchis beanie babies pokemon merchandise. it might be tartan, as you call it. yeah fireman sam. goodness knows what all these things are on our house. goodness is what i've with them. auctioneer and toy specialist hayley davis. now to tell us more. so the nineties is the treasure trove ceilidh it is it's up come in. i think what we all want to do is get back a little bit of our childhoods and now the children of the nineties are getting to the age where they've got a bit of disposabl

it does ease some of the protocol and it does provide a break to stormont. a democratic benefit. no, i don't mean you have the lawyers view that all those claims that you just made on the prime minister's behalf, because they claims that he made are in fact not borne out by the not the small print, just by clause by clause analysis . so what's clause analysis. so what's happenedis clause analysis. so what's happened is very straightforward. theresa may tried to get the most awful deal .bons tried to get the most awful deal . boris tinkered with that deal, which rishi is now good with boris's deal, but we still are a situation after all that in which eu law prevails in northern ireland. now the conservative manifesto in terms in terms it we will leave the eu as one uk. well you know northern ireland is part of the uk and it's still in the single market and it's still subject the ecj and european law is still supreme too and many areas. so no, i didn't give the prime minister credit for this . prime minister credit for this. i think he's gone down the path of

that's ri . ht it is local government at stormont.. that's right it is been more than a _ local government at stormont. that's right it is been more than a year - right it is been more than a year now, february last year when the dup effectively resigned from power—sharing the devolved government at stormont. there were rules were that unionists and nationalists had to form a government. the regional government can't function at all without the dup. while other parties have been having their say on the windsor framework, the dup verdict is most focus on the because the dup would be key to unblocking the luggage at stormont and restoring power—sharing. in addition to those two party leaders i mentioned there are members of the is this community, a solicitor who has close links to the dup, the idea is that pinellas will appeal to a range of people across northern ireland and take interest in different sectors in northern ireland and the verdict that the panel comes out with could well form the basis of the dup decision as to whether or

and and stormont will and running and stormont will not be up and running following the saying theygainst the motion tomorrow. and do you think that the dup have that justified objection or some commentators are saying is their version of brexit so pure it's almost like a unicorn version of it that will never be achievable. no, i think their bafic achievable. no, i think their basic point is that the country voted as the united kingdom to leave and the problem with the northern ireland protocol and the windsor framework is that it leaves northern ireland still subject to a degree of eu interference and rules and the degree in lane so so—called , if degree in lane so so—called, if you come into the green line into the united kingdom from abroad, you have no checks, nothing. you just walk through . nothing. you just walk through. you may stopped, but you walk you may be stopped, but you walk through the line from through with the green line from gb to northern ireland, part of the same country. you will have to fill out a form that requires 21 pieces of information. so there a big barr

instead, what the dup is saying is it wants greater guarantees in uk law that if the stormont break—upo act on it and have some teeth and would not later turn out to feel a bit weak —— the stormont brake. they also want more reassurances for unionists while northern ireland will remain aligned to the eu that over time it will not end up diverging from the uk market. the dup says there is definitely room for the uk government to provide these greater guarantees, it will vote against this on wednesday but it is not closing the door entirely, saying it is a know for now. members of the royal college of nursing have voted to accept a new pay offer from the scottish government. the union had recommended its members back the deal which would see a 6.5% increase from april, coupled with a promise of other changes. a narrow majority voted for the proposal, which ends the immediate threat of strike action. the online retail giant amazon has announced plans to cut another 9,000 jobs to save costs. the firm, which employs 1.5 million people worldwide, said the cuts would fall mainly in areas incl

there's no veto within stormont . a commentator here in stormont.ator here in northern ireland accurately described it. it means that someone sitting in the back of the car and say to the driver, would you be so kind as we appued would you be so kind as we applied the brake and the driver being the united kingdom government can in its own discretion decide to do so or not. the veto would rest with the united kingdom government, which on passport will be in no mood upset the eu. so i think the veto is a call a and a mirage rather than a reality . mirage rather than a reality. but fundamentally, okay , if but fundamentally, okay, if northern ireland is to continue as a party united kingdom, then we must be given the brexit that the rest of the uk kingdom got, rather than been left behind. as we have been . this agreement we have been. this agreement does not diminish the fact that we have been left behind within the eu . jim will the we have been left behind within the eu .jim will the dpp agree the eu. jim will the dpp agree to this in your view ? i

the concern , the so—called stormont concern, the so—called stormont brake that's exactly right.ay this this morning is because this is about a specific part of the windsor framework, the way in which windsor framework will be implemented over time, in the government's view, is there are parts that don't require parliamentary assent at all and then there are certain statutory that are required to pass through parliament in order to set up different parts of the windsor framework , the first of windsor framework, the first of those to be voted on parliament will be voted on this wednesday andifs will be voted on this wednesday and it's on this stormont break. so the dup been able to look at this in isolation and say does this in isolation and say does this meet all tests in terms of delivering what we want to see with the protocol or changing the way in which our brexit agreements are done and worry that the dup have said a statement released just in the last few minutes is that whilst represents real progress , this represents real progress, this break does not deal with the fund

for over a you like, stormont for over a year. you like, stormont for over a year .ar. the dup collapsed it you like, stormont for over a year . the dup collapsed it over year. the dup collapsed it over their concerns with the northern irish protocol . now although irish protocol. now although jeffrey donaldson has admitted that this is much and substantial progress has been made , there are of course these made, there are of course these concerns about the stormont brake that in theory allows northern ireland to overrule or block eu laws coming in. now they're saying it's going to be very difficult to do that. but of course that stormont brake can only be applied if stormont is sitting and at the moment is not sitting and there is no prospect of that happening. so where we go from here in, terms of government in northern ireland, really, who knows? but another factor might be of course that fein now have the other largest party, northern ireland, and that's going to be difficult for the democrats the unionist party if and when they do go back into and that they will

the stormont brake is at the heart of the westminster framework. .gnty to the united kingdom _ as a whole and to the people - of northern ireland in particular. the vote passed by 515 to 29 overall, with the backing of other tories, labour and the snp. of the 29 to vote against the stormont brake, 22 were conservative mps— including mark francois who is a member of the european research group of tories mps. he explained to the house why the erg were not persuaded by the government's arguments in its favour. the stormont brake is a brake with no brake pads. it's incredibly complicated. it isn't a veto, if you look at the detail. it has been sold to us as a veto. it's most plainly is not. and i'm afraid that government — and i choose my words carefully — completely oversold it. let's talk to doctor hannah white, _ oversold it. let's talk to doctor hannah white, doctor, - oversold it. let's talk to doctor hannah white, doctor, if- oversold it. let's talk to doctor hannah white, doctor, if you i oversold it. let's talk to doctor l hannah white, doctor, i

in northern ireland, hopes of a return to power—sharing at stormont have been dealt a blow following the new deal on trading arrangements following brexit. the windsor framework is meant to reduce the number of checks on goods entering northern ireland from great britain. it's backed by a majority of politicians at stormont but the dup say the new deal doesn't deal with all of their concerns. 0ur ireland correspondent emma vardy reports. that is the prize that is on offer. hailed as a success by the prime minister, the windsor framework promises to make it easier to get goods from britain to northern ireland. barriers to trade over the irish sea deeply anger unionists. but the dup are still unwilling to give the new deal its support. we haven't come this far to falter in the final lap, as it were. we want to ensure that we get the progress that is needed to protect northern ireland's place within the united kingdom. the deal allows politicians in northern ireland to use what's called the stormont brake, to object to new laws applying if they believe it would put businesses at a disad
