u. k. and e u physically made with a 500 kilometer boredom. keeping that border open is a crucial part of the 1998 good friday agreement, which ended a long running conflict in northern ireland that killed more than 3000 people to avoid any physical border checkpoints, the protocol created accustomed divide in the irish c instead, which is inside the u. k. and to add to the complicated process, the northern ireland, northern ireland rather must follow a you rules as a condition of bricks it over same by the european court of justice, u. k. e's adamant that must change for more on this story. let's bring in andrew simmons in belfast. thank you for joining us, andrew. it's quite a complicated situation. but what has the u. k. bricks minister been saying to day he obviously wants his northern island protocol changed. he doesn't just want it changed more or less once it ripped up. it was a really caught an extraordinary sequence of, of events with his speech because he started off about talking about

u. k. is the most important issue that is surrounding and it's in the u. k . e u relations. now the problem is, is that the european union, having seen how the u. k signed up to those deals at the beginning of the year in order to be able to have a post breaks that trade relations. it fundamentally as seen the u. k as a non trustworthy partner. because having dial back as it were, the success of all of the trade agreement that they signed. initially the u. k. had said that this was a tremendous agreement that it was paid paving the way for normal relations. but now since then, especially with the brakes that minister david frost as well, they've said that says plenty wrong with that agreement. so really the u. k is not really carrying a lot of favor in terms of trustworthiness with the european union front being of course absolutely central to the european union itself is not going to sort of bend towards any demands that the united kingdom is going to make at this moment. certainly, these issues now moving on and hundreds of migrants have disembarked from a turkish flagged c

u. k and the e. u. both sides agree. customs checks in northern islands simply aren't working, but they don't to agree on the solution. is this a dispute about trade or politics and could at risk the peace in northern ireland? this is inside story. ah. hello and welcome to the program. today with me, pete adobe now when the u. k, left the european union, both sides agreed to a set of trade rules known as the northern island protocol. goods from britain, a checked at ports in northern ireland. the province remains in the e. u. single market. so trade can move freely across its land border with the republic of ireland. but nearly 2 years after breakfast, the u. k says that arrangement is not working. the government wants a new deal and it doesn't want the european court of justice as agreed on the bricks it to have oversight of the protocol. the e u is offering to remove some customs checks, but is calling for compromised to will bring in our guests in just a moment. first, this report from andrew simmons

u. k. feel they're being set apart from the rest of the country and fear it would boost those who want to join island. unlike the rest of the u. k, northern ireland must follow e. you rules on standards with a european court of justice overseeing dispute. under simmons travel to belfast in northern ireland to see what effect aroused having as the u. k is bricks, it minister prepared to speak in portugal. kieran sloane was taking a delivery from the irish republic. it's his main supply line now and without it. his delicatessen. in northern ireland will be out of business. his main suppliers used to be in the u. k, but the trade board were in the irish. c means he can't rely on them any more. karen had been hoping the you was about to smooth things out with concessions over regulations on food exported from the u. k. and streamlined custom checks, but the way the british government is now behaving leaves karen and business people all over northern ireland in doubt. how much with lack of it her until now he along with many others, never realize the role of the european court of justice was an issue in the post bricks of crisis here. no, i was thinking about has b

u. k. used to be part of the e. u is common fisheries policy that gave all european fishing boats equal access. after briggs, it e u and u. k. vessels needed licenses to fish in each other's territorial waters. the boats have to prove that they had fish there in the past. to make things more complicated, the self governing british territories of jersey in guernsey and the channel islands issue their own licenses. france accused the u. k. of only granting at a small number of the licenses it's entitled to britain denies this, saying those boats at rejected couldn't prove a track record of fishing in the area. the dispute escalated on thursday when france detained a british trawler accused of fishing without a license. another boat was fined for not complying with maritime checks. frances, threatening to block british boats from ports. if the issue isn't resolved by tuesday, alexey o'brien has more from the port of love, frances laid down an ultimatum. if its fishermen did not get the licenses that they say they deserv

u. k. making some very big demands of the e. u. was the response likely to be them from brussels? well it's like as a bait, in fact is almost certain to be very generous when it comes to the whole issue of border checks. of the customs areas are all on the ports here and also regulations on goods. and it's set to be something like half of the half of the customs checks will be lifted on on all of food products. not, not all food products, but most of them, and also apply products as well. and medicines will be free flowing, so that making major concessions, but the issue of the european judges, the european court of justice being, having the overarching role in this treaty. they say that's an immovable, immovable situation. it's a red line, whereas the u. k is pushing hard on it, but what's going on with the people on the ground business? people seem to be thinking, well, this is good news where we can look forward to this. but on the other hand, if that's now going to be the big stand off with your what, what, what's gonna happen with the e u and the u. k. relations, could it get

u. k. goods and cargo. now, the whole dispute dates back to 2016 when britain voted to leave the e. u. in the years that followed the block and the u. k. struck a deal where britain offers access to french fishermen who can prove that they previously fished, that piracy says only half of french vessels eligible for british pressing elections have been given. one london in turn is warning that france has ultimatum would violate the e u u k. trade and cooperation agreement and wider international law. well, let's try and get a grip on this. mike hooker, who's a former british m e p, and former fishery spokesman of the u. k. independence body joining us here live on our team to national. thank you so much for coming on. what do you make of, frances, ultimate, to britain, a as a bid to get more licenses? is it a proportionate measure? do you think so? no, i don't. i think it's a once again, it's, we say that the, the french book, using volleyball tactics. if remember, last year there was a shock in our, in our vessel over the channel, or do they really want to get into a trade well with, wi

u. k. and to add to the complicated process, northern ireland must follow e. you rules as a condition of briggs. it overseen by the european court of justice. the u. k. is adamant that must change, adams and andrew simmons reports from belfast. as the case, breakfast minister prepared to speak in portugal, karen sloane was taking a delivery from the irish republic. it says main supply line now and without it, his delicatessen in northern ireland will be out of business. his main supplies used to be in the u. k. but the trade board in the r c means he can't rely on them any more. karen had been hoping that you was about to smooth things out with concessions over regulations on food exports from the u. k. and streamlined custom checks, but the way the british government is now behaving leaves karen and business people all over northern ireland. how much of a her until now he along with many others, never realize the role of the european court of justice was an issue in the post bricks of crisis. no, i was thinking about it was bracket and you know, protocol and t

u. k. penny in northern ireland has said the e proposal falls short. what more has the u. k side had to say, well that, that, that is interesting in terms of falling short, but that actually came into without just era by jeffrey donaldson, leader of the day because of unit his party here at the northern ireland descent. this is what he had to say. it still leaves in place and i receive border. there will still be checks on the movement of goods within the united kingdom, and that's not something we find acceptable. now this is a welcome. first step, the will be intensive and focused negotiations. so let's see where we get to what we do need to see more progress. this falls well short of what we require, but for where we were a few months ago, we've moved forward. no, those words are a lot more diplomatic than the ones we heard from david frost. the british sher bricks. it minister only 24 hours ago when he went straight into the, to an attack on the, the e, you and demanded that there has to be a different way of going about this altogether. and he was talking of actually a

u. k. chancellor. together with the e mail and letters from the u. k. regulatory authorities and the bank of england urging the americans to go easy on hsbc. it was too big, too high or too big to regulate. and that is not the only example that we use is it is you can most corrupt. we have a bank of credit and commerce international which was shut down in 1991. it was the world's biggest banking fraud in the 20th century. to this day they had been their investigation. and i, a 45 and a half year legal battle with the u. k. government to get hold of one secret document. this is under the freedom of information. and that document showed that the bank was looted. my operatives of al qaeda, saudi intelligence. there was smugglers, them a gun runners, you name it. but the u. k. government has hushed up the whole thing. and we have to remember that al qaeda and taliban themselves are funded and, and by the west of the authorities that were trained by western r. there has been absolutely no accountability and this particular bank, banks collapse was never re

u. k. left the european union, both sides are still at odds over trade in northern ireland. the e u is unveiling proposals to address a dispute. the u. k has asked the blog to rewrite the part of the brakes it deal that's created custom checks between great britain and northern island. it says these calls challenges in the region. the repulse changes are expected to ease the flow of goods including meet plants and medicine. so what exactly is the protocol that the you and britain are divided about while northern island is the only area where the u. k. and the blank physically needs is a 500 kilometer border. keeping that open is a crucial part of the 1998 good friday agreement. the accord ended the long run in conflict in northern ireland that killed more than 3000 people. to avoid any physical border, checkpoints or protocol created a customs, divide in the irish c instead, which is inside the u. k. and to add to the complicated process on an islands must follow e rules as a condition of rex it or was seen by the european court of justice. but the u. k is adamant that must change

u. k. better that of the e u in august. a lot of that was due to the services sector, opening up in august in the u. k. but they better that you hillary ford, which of the british american business association. thank you so much for your time . the pleasure. brandon rachel. and finally, we have an update for you on that russian film crew that made it their mission to create the 1st ever movie film in space. they made it back safely, land in cars, it's done after spending 12 days at the international space station. the actress and director involved were accompanied on the return by a season ca not who had been at the i assess for $191.00 days, bringing his overall total to $531.00 days in space. the crew film themes for their upcoming movie, the challenge which a doctor traveled the space to treat a sick patient. now this is fascinating, this, this is played out. i mean, we see so many movies that say they take place in outer space, but this one actually does. do you think this is just the beginning? i think it in just the be

u. k. out of the e u constitutional. not a single state is always super, sees that the, you appear laws because europe was un, unable to give or to solve the constitution over 50 years. we owe and the mass respect to the state constitution and also the european union should find their way . but i would say, 1st of all, on the illegal term by dialogue, by setting up an committees of legal experts on the error kiosks. if dears does not happen, i will say, i'm afraid we shall to think about a polish for a friend among the same way. and that the friend the was that was the done in the britain in january of this year. because otherwise, we're all just in a deadlock, we are, we are just unable to move for wars. and the cries is so will, to my understanding the only increase over the next month, because we have seen so many quizes now. but many, the and so many intentions between the european union and the poland over the last year. turkey has joined algeria in lashing out to the french president after ammonia microns suggested

u. k. goods and congo. well, the dispute dates back in 2016 when britain voted to leave the e u. in the years that followed the block and u. k. struck a deal with bush off as the french fishes who can prove they previously fish. there are says any harmful french vessels eligible for a british fishing license, having, given what london in town is warding france, is ultimate. him. von of e u. u k. trade agreements on why the international law. we heard earlier from you could form a spokesperson for fisheries. mike cook him and mark the a. who's the head of norman these committee on fisheries. they offered their opposing views on the matter. i think it's a president that says that's got an election coming up on the horizon and he's, he's trying to be yeah, the bit of the statesman narrow and bit of a bully. boy. i can say that marin lot plan is doing very well and i'm not no french cost, and he's not going, he's desperate to get those brought back again. we have to be very, very strong would never ever while down to a bullying and we shouldn't, don't. now, we shouldn't allow this man

and of course the thing underneath are on top of all of these conflicts is a very difficult you, k e u relationship with the u. k. government now seeking a for renegotiation of the brakes. it vo, it reached in and ratified in 2019. so there are very many points of tension. fishes, one of them, but there are very, very many sedans. daniel anchor later abdel fatter, albert han has dismissed at least 6 ambassadors after they spoke out against monday's military. takeover is increasing opposition both at home and abroad. on wednesday invoice from several western countries visited after prime minister della ham dock at his residence, where he's under heavy security, the u. s. and u. n. have cold for the immediate release of civilian ladies. his morgan has more than the capital cotton. people are still calling for civil disobedience and general trying to stay away from work, both at state and federal level, but they've been political moves to try to mediate between the 2 side. that is to say between the civilian component of the, the post transition government and the military that took over

and of course cit thing underneath are on top of all of these conflicts is a very difficult you, k e u relationship with the u. k. government. now seeking a full renegotiation of the brett's it, vo into it reached and, and, and, and ratified in 2019. so there are very many points of tension. fish is one of them, but there are very, very many, i'm sorry, is this dispute in danger? of spinning out of control and what would be the ramifications if that did happen? so i think there is a problem and the problem is the manual matter on faith is a fairly difficult election next april. not because macro mo, lose. but because the trajectory of the coven pandemic in economic implications also uncertain. one cannot be sure about the risk of new variance crossing the channel and having an impact on restrictions and subsequent economic activity that ultimately presents a risks for mac cronan, i think heading in to the uncertain election cycle. standing up for french interests and especially french fishermen against what is perceived to be a u. k. foot dragging on applications and licenses, i think

u. k. goods on congo. well, the dispute all way back to 2016 when bush and voted to leave the e. u in the year that followed the block and the u. k. struck a deal where burton offers access the french fishers who can prove they previously fish there. paris says only half a french vessels eligible for british fishing license have been given one london in turn is warming, frances ultimate and vonn. it's e u. u. k. agreements and indeed, water international law. we heard earlier from you could form a spokesman for fisheries mark him, and mark de la, hey, who's the head of normandy, committee on fisheries. they offered their opposing views on the issue. i think it's a president that's got an election coming up on the horizon and he's trying to be a bit of a statesman. they're a bit of a bully by we can say that the moraine finding doing very well along the know french cost and he's not going to be desperate to get those books back to you. again. we have to be very, very strong with never, ever down to bullying and we shouldn't. now we shouldn't allow this month of bullying to that, th

e. u, the u. k. gave up so much sovereignty, sovereignty and tons of ocean the fishing rights for the waters. so some of these fishermen, these french fishermen have been fishing in these waters the decades and for generations of their family. so given the agreement, the agreement, the proxy agreement, it was that those fishing whites will be phased out to 2026. in fact, less licenses given to french fisheries, a fish fishermen each year. so what is the issue right now to bring you up to speed it is that french fishermen have applied for these licenses? well, according to lord frost, i'm, he's the british. brick said minister, he has said that 98 percent of all those applications have been fulfilled and they've been licenses issued the french so want to fish them more. and the french fishermen have actually threatened that they will block calais. don cook the ports of dollar cal, aidan cook, and the child, if they don't get more fishing lights, but those waters are sovereign to the u. k. the u. k. h

u. k. couple of things you write on this, the article 16 has been threatened. i think what has happened is that the e u has come back and they have dropped about 80 percent of the regulations in terms of the checks on goods. that was what was causing a bottleneck. what has happened is you've had a bottleneck. we talked about the sausage was, which was the sort of the symbolism for all of the cold meats, from the u. k being check going into northern ireland, but also medicines. this has been really a terrible situation where the medicines were held up, going in to northern ireland hospitals, et cetera. you know, a long time ago i said this whole issue should have been caught access not breaks it because the northern ireland is part of the u. k and lord ross has said, we are one united kingdom we're going to remain one united kingdom. the law sticking issue is this european court. what law fossa said, quite rightly, is that why should the european court, a court from one side preside over an issue that both parties have what he is advocating, what the u. k is advocating is an independent quarter to mod
