it didn't help ulster that they had a player sent off. your speed on the track and your shooting skills. can you hold your nerve and aim when out of breath at the end of 400 metres? well the world tour and british championship for target sprint takes place in bristol this weekend and i've been to train with some of the country's top athletes and some other beginners. three, two, one. and they're off, the class of 2018 who're notjust learning how to be the fastest around the 400 metres track in pe, but as they cross the line it is all about their composure and speed of thought. so here they come then, they have done 400 metres on the track, understandably out of breath, it is a hot day and now they have to compose themselves, control their breathing, pick up the air rifles and hit the five targets. it is a combination of speed and also accuracy. once they have hit the five targets ten metres away, they run again, before more shooting, and finally a gruelling 400 metre race to finish. props to the people that do it pro, because it is really

that is the leader of the ulster unionists. our banks to him for joining us today. most of scotland has told her party conference that scottish independence is clearly in sight. she accused the westminster government of stumbling from disaster to disaster while the scottish government, she said, was living up to its responsibility. she said it was up to the scottish people to choose their own future. it seems to me that one of the lasting casualties of brexit is the notion that the uk is in any sense a partnership of equals. i will vote to remain in the eu ignored, the scottish government's, my plan to stay in the single market, dismissed. in request for a role in the negotiations cast aside. a raid on our parliament's powers. and when the scottish parliament said no to that raid, the uk government could and should have respected that decision. instead, they took us to court. that is not partnership, that is westminster control, scotland deserves better. nicola sturgeon speaking to the party conference earlier today. the time is 5:37pm here on the bbc. a convicted b

but theresa may does not have a majority, she relies on the ulster unionist dup for her majority in parliamentept, not to swallow what she has to offer as a compromise to try to get some sort of deal through. so the politics are incredibly difficult. now, it is not impossible that at some point in the next week to ten days, there is a classic european fudge, that new forms of language are concocted that allow a deal to be patched together. but i think it is increasingly difficult to see that happening, actually. is anyone else more optimistic than iain, at all? i think that he's onto something. i think the european union has been very good at kicking the can down the road, and that is probably what is going to happen. the president of the commission, juncker, was very upbeat this week. he said that we will find a deal. so my impression is that there will be some sort of fudge, some kind of invisible border in northern ireland, there will be some magic there. a deal will be found and then there will be this frictionless trade, which is the keyword at the moment. nobody wants a mess, so they wil

for the way this has been handled, a feeling amongst men that judge kavanaugh been falsely accused ulsterf the speech in mississippi the president appealed to mothers about their sons, what if this was your son or brother being falsely accused? i think the polling is starting to suggest that are suffering because of the whole kavanaugh story, because the republican base is being galvanised and male voters are being galvanised and male voters are being galvanised because of the wayjudge kavanaugh galvanised because of the wayjudge kava naugh has galvanised because of the wayjudge kavanaugh has been treated. where are we with the fbi investigation? we hear that could be released imminently? it is now about 3pm in washington and it could, during the course of today. there could be a vote onjudge course of today. there could be a vote on judge kavanaugh course of today. there could be a vote onjudge kavanaugh later this week. i spoke to two democratic senators early this morning, two women who said they are feeling this effect in their own polling numbers of support the judge effect in their

dawn over the bay and an ulster woman is already out and at the all is.or two records. one is the oldest woman ever to row any ocean solo and also the first irishwoman. you are not of water woman, though, this is not your natural medium? i hate getting my head and wet and i didn't swim up until about six weeks ago. i wanted a challenge that was really, really tough for me. so this is, it doesn't get any tougher than this. at sea, she will need to get out of the boat to clean the whole, for example. for a new swimmer, that will be a challenge. what you are seeing here is the first time that shelley has ever been out of her depth. overseeing his cloak —— coach niall bates. he says were all her inexperience, she has what it takes. she is doing things in a very short space of time in terms of the learning curve. can she do it? absolutely. that's the way she is, she will do this, she will be ready. there is no knocking herfrom that and that is the attitude that will get harry cross. back in the marina, the boat is being kitted out with all the safety equipment

the democratic unionist party and ulster unionists held separate meetings in brussels.barnier recently called for "less drama" over the so—called brexit backstop regarding the irish border. let's look at what still has to happen in the brexit negotiations on 18th october eu leaders meet for a summit where the withdrawal agreement was supposed to be finalised. however, this is not now seen as feasible and the focus is on a special one—off summit that has been arranged for mid—november. if an agreement is reached, it must then be approved by the uk parliament. this vote is due at the end of the year. if the deal passes this hurdle and is ratified by the other eu staes, the uk will leave the eu on 29th march 2019. with me is our assistant political editor norman smith in westminster. also, i'mjoined by adam flemming in brussels. hello, let's talk first of all about those meetings going on between the two major unionist parties in northern ireland, especially the dup. of course, this whole issue of the irish border is absolutely vital, that must be sorted out ahead of the s

of brexiteers, including 0wen paterson, iain duncan smith, and lord trimble, who was leader of the ulsterolution to the irish border conundrum. they argue you could use technology to do all of the checks that you need, so that nobody would notice there was a border between the uk and northern ireland, or northern ireland and ireland. the commission is of the same view, sort of, that technology could be used to some extent to sort this problem, but with a different legal basis. the eu is saying if there is in a future trade agreement between the uk and the eu, there is no other option to avoid hard border, they will use their backstop which is to say northern ireland is staying in the customs union, and applying lots of rules and regulations for the single market, as well. the people visiting michel barnier this morning are opposed to that totally. this is a chance for michel barnier to listen to what is going on in the uk. this isn't a negotiating session. i'm sure women -- i'm negotiating session. i'm sure women —— i'm sure when we hearfrom mps, we will hear that there were no negotiatio

tory leader and from david trimble who used to be first minister of northern ireland, leader of the ulsterervative peer, but they all have in common is they are leading proponents of brexit and they are also leading critics of theresa may's plan with the economic partnership between the uk and the eu in the future. remember, theresa may was this so—called chequers plan which would make a common rule book which would make a common rule book which could be updated byjoint agreement in the future. the three that were here today were here to see michel barnier say that will not work and it should just be a normal free trade agreement, the kind of which the eu has with other countries around the world. i imagine that michel barnier would have thought, "yes, i agree with you on that point." but the point is that the uk will not be able to get the frictionless trade and close trading arrangement they want if thatis trading arrangement they want if that is the view. they came out of a meeting with michel barnier playing very nicely, saying they weren't undermining the prime minister, they we re un
