the two main parties involved, sinn fein and the democratic unionist party, the dup, seem unable to agreech is blaming each other for the lack of progress. one of the main stumbling blocks between the parties seems to be the nationalist and republican demand foran nationalist and republican demand for an irish language act which the dup opposes. the deal a few weeks ago between the dup can deprive minister, theresa may, to prop up a government essentially, seems to have muddied the waters on the discussions. last night, downing street issued a statement after theresa may spoke to both sinn fein and dup leaders. she said her government would do everything they could to help the parties and get a successful conclusion, but she urged them to find the agreement. today there was a campaign in belfast, a rally for same—sex marriage. northern ireland remains the only pa rt northern ireland remains the only part of the united kingdom where it is banned. at the rally, sinn fein president gerry adams, who is in favour of same—sex marriage, outlined why are there would be no deal by monday. the dup

as british prime minister theresa may looks to make a deal with northern ireland's main unionist partycritics say she risks stirring up trouble with die hard republicans and loyalists who still live divided by a wall. here, we meet two men, living on opposite sides of the wall, holding opposite views of what's to come. reporter: for robert mcclenaghan, noises like this revive memories of the 16 years he spent in prison. he was an ira man -- a bomber, who blew up shops for the cause, hoping to force the british government to end its rule in northern ireland. he calls himself a soldier, but others called him a terrorist. today, the cell that once held him is a museum. robert: they were raidin' our homes. they were killin' my relatives. so what do you do? do you bury your head in the sand and pretend that all this doesn't happen? or, like me and my generation, do you stand up and do you fight back? reporter: then, i meet noel -- just a stone's throw away, but on the other side of a vast gulf. noel was a hitman. he did 20 years in prison. he calls himself a soldier for the crown, fighting

embarrassment came a hugely unpopular decision to cut a deal with the northern irish democratic unionist party despite assumptions that may would step down oh my goodness let me go we didn't resign prime minister out for a whopping one billion pounds was thrown at the problem essentially one hundred million per m.p. to form a working majority with me coming under fire for shaking the magic money tree to save herself questions appeared about why it wasn't chic and for others there isn't a magic money tree that we can shake that suddenly provides for everything that people want the way they got the. less than a week after the election gamble the ground fell fire tragedy created another public storm on the heels of the prime minister for not showing enough compassion and even avoiding meeting the survivors two unanswered questions about the death toll just as for ground fell became another reason to rage at the government. the pressure was also mounting after four terror attack. shook the u.k. in just three months with teresa mayes decision as home secretary to make cuts to the police force thrus

gerry adams says it would take what he called a "step change" to reach a deal with the democratic unionist partydeadlines to try to resolve their differences. chris buckler reports from belfast. for months, northern ireland has been without a government. deadline after deadline has passed and despite long days and nights of negotiations at stormont, every still no deal to restore power sharing and the parties are blaming each other. at this in time it requires sinn fein to change its attitude and its approach to these talks and not demand what it is looking for. sinn fein is demanding that the dup agrees the official status for the irish language and the introduction of same—sex marriage in northern ireland. this is now the only part of the uk where two men or two women cannot get married and at the weekend, there was a large march in the centre of belfast in either of changing the law. we want a quality and rights for everybody and we do have a rights —based society for everyone people ‘s rights, whether you are from the orange or any other tradition is protected under law. 4pm last thursday ha

following the conservative‘s confidence and supply deal struck with northern ireland's democratic unionist partyives have described homosexuality as repulsive, wrong, vile, immoral, offensive and obnoxious. does the minister agree that it is these hateful remarks themselves that are repulsive, wrong, vile, immoral, offensive and obnoxious? and they should have no place in our politics let alone in government. the dup once ran a campaign called save also from sodomy. isn't it time to save ulster from bigotry? —— save ulster from sodomy. the views that she set out are absolutely not ones that i agree with or indeed i think our shared by this house. as i said to her, i think it is important that the way in which we have this debate and progress continued improvements in lgbt rights, women's rights, in the rights of disabled people. all sorts of people who face discrimination in our country is in ameasured fashion. where we can find some consensus, we will steadily win the battle in that fashion. equality and tolerance are important british values. we should be proud of them. will the minister work

still no agreement between sinn fein and the democratic unionist party.ints, but by far the biggest one i understand remains the issue of the irish language. sinn fein want a piece of legislation, an irish language act, which would promote and protect the gaelic tongue, but the dup are pushing for a broader law which would also incorporate some cultural issues which are imported to unionists. our lead story: there's been global condemnation of north korea's latest missile test. russia and china put a joint statement demanding that north korea freeze its missile and nuclear programmes. bbc world service reports that police in italy have carried out raids against the calabrian mafia. around a 1000 officers targeted 23 mafia gangs who, it's alleged, traffic cocaine around the world. hanoi in vietnam is considering banning all motorbikes by 2030. it's a big job — there are 5 million of them at the moment. the idea is to reduce congestion and pollution. that is from bbc vietnamese. a motorway has been closed in austria to allow emergency services to round up c

sinn fein has blamed the deadlock on the democratic unionist party's deal with theresa may to support an agreement over the summer. northern ireland has been without a functioning devolved government since january because of a dispute between the political parties. the new director of the tate galleries has said she wants to make them much more accessible to the public and turn them into the most culturally diverse institution in the world. maria balshaw ran two successful museums in manchester before landing the job. she's the first woman to lead the tate in its 120—year history. 0ur arts editor will gompertz has been talking to her at london's tate modern. tate modern, the most visited museum of modern art in the world. it is the crown jewel in the tate empire built over the past three decades by sir nicolas serota who recently stood down as the institution's director. his replacement is maria balshaw, one of the forces behind manchester's recent cultural rennaissance and this institution's first female boss. it will be different because i am a different generation, i think differen
