he's meeting the taoiseach, simon harris.resetting uk irish relations as starmer becomes the first prime minister to visit our nearest neighbours for five years. >> so what exactly does starmer actually want to get out of it? >> let's talk to political commentator piers pottinger, who's here. and i mean, it's a very good point, isn't it? what does he think he can achieve? >> well, it's a bit of showboating from starmer, really. i mean, he's been to germany already to reset the relationship. basically he's going around with a begging bowl. and of course, we all know he's a committed remainer and would like us still to be in the eu, because he's doing so badly at home in the. i've never known at home in the. i've never known a prime minister to be. well, apart from perhaps liz truss. do so badly in such a short space of time. he's facing a very difficult week. next week in parliament, because he's got a debate on the removal of the winter fuel allowance for pensioners. he also is introducing the renters rights act to the horror

he has gone inside now with his irish counterpart, the taoiseach, simon harris, and we do know they areside farmleigh house in dublin here today. so, that gives us an indication that trade between britain and ireland is pretty high up the agenda when these two leaders are talking today. we�*re also told that they are going to be talking about international matters, such as what is happening in gaza and ukraine. now, we know relations haven�*t been, possibly, in a good place. i heard you say there that sir keir starmer is the first british prime minister to visit the republic of ireland in the last five years, and i think that gives you a real indication of where those relations have been at. there were really difficult conversations, there were fallouts over the outworkings of brexit and then how the legacy of northern ireland�*s troubles should be dealt with, so they might be matters that are discussed today. but then the busy day ends on quite a light note, because both leaders will be attending the aviva stadium in dublin to watch a football match between the republic of ireland and

keir starmer was in dublin meeting the taoiseach simon harrisjust on dublin meeting the taoiseach simon harris fair to say that if the conservative government were still in power, this public inquiry would not have been announced, because that legacy act meant there would be no future public inquiries for troubles — era killings. but the labour party since they came in to power, into government, they said they would repeal and replace the legacy act. we are still waiting to hear more details on that, but this obviously shows a very firm step forward in doing just that, and announcing this public inquiry. we heard about this reset of relationships, that was the work that was used again and again, a reset of relations between britain and ireland, and this will certainly be an important step forward in that. well, our ireland correspondent they're speaking to us and are just giving us context of that. thank you so much on that day when we have been hearing from the family of pat finucane. we have a live page on our website where we have much more reaction, analysis to this news that the inquiry w
