u. k. into the island and does it stay in northern ireland, there will be no checks and that reduces the barriers. the trade barriers between northern ireland and the rest of the u. k. would use system for quite a lot. say this is what these people in northern ireland who feel very strongly aligned to britain. this is what they really have been asking for. and now you has made a concession. it doesn't mean that it is all going to be plain sailing, and you still has some sort of influence in northern ireland and some form of loss will still have to be applied. but definitely the, you from the british point of view has been very nice to which is sooner. and there was definitely a reason for him to smile. jackie are as big as just said lots of concessions there from the you side. how much? how far did b e, you go to make this deal go through? well, i think when we look at this, what they've tried to do is just a kate, the british government, in the sense of these, these red and green lanes. this mi

u. k government says the protocol treats goods coming to northern ireland from the u. k . as if they were going to another country. it wants to change this and less than the use continuing reach into u. k. affairs. but such a deal would not satisfy the unionist and loyalist community. we think it on acceptable that there should be a division between northern or nuclear breton, a customs frontier that separates the turns the united kingdom, india divided kingdom by administering european union checks dallas unacceptable. noey law, noey court, a new e check. your nina support is necessary for richey soon act to push through the u. k. e u. d. on the protocol. but it is preferable to habit the dangers of an invested unit community or continued to political paralysis. and possibly even this law as post a threatens a return to violence. so much depends on the detail of any u. k. e. u deal. when it finally appears. many businesses want the protocols benefit maintained, but union as parties would rather a disappeared altogether. rory, talents, out of era. belfast, dozens of runners have taken part in a unique half marathon and engine, malaise for climate change means this could be the 1st

u. k. look, we've had leaks about what is in this. it's about smoothing the passage of goods from the u. k. mainland into northern ireland goods that aren't going any further into the u. k. minimizing the role of the european court of justice that has been so contentious. the question of course is, would it be acceptable to the d u p? that is a question. if it isn't, would it be scuffled? that's another question. just getting the deal is only the 1st hurdle at this point for issue soon, like the prime minister. jonah, thank you for the update you on a whole live there in london. and he, $62.00 people, including 12 children, have died in a ship rack off the coast of southern italy. more than 80 people have been rescued . official say the boat was traveling to italy from turkey though on board were trying to reach year through the mediterranean. carline women is from doctors without borders. she says governments in europe are making it more difficult to carry out rescue mission. what we know is that over the last few months, i am italian authorities are again, making the work of villian search and rescue o

u. s. and it sounds really like what might come into play in the u. k. when they bring in what's going to call the new espionage act, which is an amalgamation of the old official secret fact which is going to indeed increase the terrorists who with los angeles to 14 years volunteer. so this is all to discourage others. of course, it's a power play and i think it's so important to remember that people do not blow the whistle just because they want to, you know, get a certain bit of glory or whatever they ruined allies by doing it. they turn their lives inside out and upside down. and they can never again, a professional status as you know, as i know, and for people to be penalized and even worse and more badly with the senses. you know, 14 years in prison because you are a treasurer or something like that. you're not sure i should trying to protect the rights for your country and your family says you're trying to protect the very nature of democracy. rather than trying to allow the government to encroach on all civil liberties. i cannot say this strongly

u. k. was go into the west and ukraine that it would respond if it went to invade the mode. they've been breakaway region of trent leave here. that's where the peacekeepers have been station for more than 3 decades. and an interview is going on the ground. we're now the investigative journalist seymour pledge breaks down the alleged us prob.

u. k. general election into a de facto referendum on independence disquiet within the past. he, how much further far was that kinda stopped? you would actually pick the party in the independence movement. so i think that will probably end up being the issue that defines the leadership contest. and it will be interesting to see if there are differences. nicholas dodge and worked with 5 different u. k prime ministers through that have political dominance, north of the border, seemed unassailable. shall leave big boots to fail. and the questions about the future have scotlands independence movement, rory helen's houses era? well that's it for this bulletin, but do stay with us on ours is the inside story is coming up next. thank you for watching. ah ah. hello there, it's very quiet story across much of east asia. after that wintry mix moved away from japan. we sing, temperatures recover here over the next few days, more in the way of sunshine than cloud. vast areas of china. and while temperatures will be coming down across the north in cities like beijing, they'll be picking u

u. k, and e u countries has declined significantly. however, overall trade between russia into china reached a reco level in 2022, up by 30 percent year on year. both rush us imports from and exports, especially oil and gas to china, grew. china now becomes moscow's most important, trained partner by a large margin. now china of course, seems to be trying to balance its political support for russia, with its eager nomic need to get things going again after the coven lockdown. how is it managing that or jail, as a war, drags on billions, losses increase as a u. as in europe increasingly view china as a strategic competitor, bady has suffered the fact of multilateral export controls, investment restrictions, and other measures that could hinder its long term growth prospects. the emphasis on no alliance as i mentioned, indicate that aiden is, are slightly adjusting his policy towards russia. now, many china experts downplayed previous official statement that china friendship with russia has no limit. then it was a, a rhetoric statement that should not be taken literally eventuall

u. k. as one of europe's largest businesses and europe, largest oil and gas company. and that level of, of tax spent a bit put into the exchequer. here in the u. k, is, i think, not what most people would expect. so whilst of course, the oil and gas jobs will always argue that they need to plow their profits into exploration into an into future developments. i think they're going to wind up paying more tax in the u. k. for sure, the discussion is then going to be about whether the quid pro quo of allowing them to explore more and invest more is going to happen because what you can't be is a double ante. you can't say that got to pay much more attacks and they're not allowed to go out and take more fossil fuels out of the ground, which is the position of a lot of people are currently in in society. but that's no longer interestingly because of the energy crisis, the position of people like the biden administration who argued last year that the fracking industry in my west should go out and, and i'd stop at nothing to increase production. ok, i can't get a keep moving on because i want to stick with this money issue

u. k. you know, into the clip upgraded was one of what was i'm a day i want to ask you about voter participation. obviously, this is a huge, a huge experiment in, in, in democracy right now the, there's a lot riding on these elections. and there is a question about how high the voter turnout will be. there were 93500000 registered voters of that are, were told that it's about 87000000 that got their cards. who are going to be able to vote today. but some people say they don't think there will be a high turnout in that that could impact his elections. what do you think? do you think more people will be coming out in this election cycle versus the other election cycles in the past? more people are out to be in this particular election, some home a while ago, i drove through some areas and i said it was still under what us right down the streets because people want to make it mac. we are tired of this current situation . we, i, in this country to last, why this tomorrow? the number of those people that came out to colorado pvcs increase on let odda electra not want to make it mark and let. and you

u. k. official secrets act was passed into law in 1911. it outlawed making public any information that could in any way, quote aid or assist the enemy on quote. what that meant was open to broad interpretation. the official secrets act was updated many times over the years. and again, in 1989, not to reform it, but to make it even tougher than 1989 version remove the public interest defense. thus making it impossible for a defendant to stand up in court and explain that what he or she released to the public was done in the public interest, such as reporting a crime that had been classified to keep it secret. in the fall of 2022, the british parliament began consideration of yet another revision of the 5th secrets act. a new provision would make it illegal to be an undeclared foreign spy in the united kingdom, even if that undeclared spy was not carrying out any active espionage, was not working on behalf of a foreign state and posed no threat to the national security. in essence, the act would make illegal whatever activity the government
