well, if our moving goods do northern ireland... well, from northern ireland... well, from northern ireland... well, from northern ireland to great britain, no, because we have said in terms of from northern ireland to gigabits that it will be frictionless. but could i come back to that fair question on declarations, just to be clear, the exit summary declarations will be required. in terms of northern ireland, to great britain. that was stephen barclay. our reality check correspondent chris morris has been trying to get to the bottom of the claims and counterclaims. further video emerged this afternoon of the meeting he had last night or yesterday with business leaders in northern ireland, in which he said, when it comes to trade going from northern ireland into great britain there will be no checks, no barriers of any there will be no checks, no barriers ofany kind, there will be no checks, no barriers of any kind, no forms to fill in. now, the forms but in particular is basically in direct contradiction to what his brexit secretary, stephen barclay, said in pa

great britain to northern ireland. it doesn't mean everything will be checked but the mixed message is to say there won't be anything different in the future. it will look different under the agreement that the prime minister has assigned. very quickly to try and explain this to people away from northern ireland and those business dynamics in that region, how would the situation post brexit compare with what is going on now in terms of checks? so even out there are some checks on trade between northern ireland and the rest of the united kingdom. those checks take place for example on animal movements because there is a single zone for animals and the whole of ireland. those checks of goods going from great britain to northern ireland will be enhance and there we re ireland will be enhance and there were also be checks to see whether goods will need to be paid custom duties which i do not have to pay 110w duties which i do not have to pay now and coming from northern ireland to great britain, there would need to great b

what the eu wanted was to offer a northern ireland backstop, a northern ireland only backstop, a northern ireland only backstop, which they refer to a task, which would keep northern ireland in the customs union and single market forever. but northern ireland is in its own customs zone so there is a border down the irish sea. absolutely not, if you read the treaty we have done with the eu, the deal that is ready to go, northern ireland, it says explicitly, northern ireland is part of the uk customs territory. a customs union is an area with a perimeter where ta riffs is an area with a perimeter where tariffs are charged. and the tariffs that northern ireland will charge on goods with third countries around the world, whether it is japan, india, where ever, will be the ta riffs india, where ever, will be the tariffs that the uk charges, not what the eu charges. this is a nonsense, northern ireland will operate within the eu customs zone. with great respect, you are wrong.|j will check that. i think you should. northern ireland will be offering for free trade northern ireland will be offeri

northern ireland though will have to try to qualify via the play—offs. they drew 0—0 with the netherlands after captain steven davis missed a penalty in belfast. scotland will also have to qualify via the nations league play—offs despite getting their first away win under steve clarke in cyprus. they took the lead through ryan christie's great strike, his first international goal. but cyprus responded with a brilliant goal of their own, former dundee and rangers player georgios efrem the goal—scorer. scotland weren't behind for long, though, john mcginn scoring the winner. 2—1 the final score. well england have of course already qualified for euro 2020 but they face kosovo in pristina this afternoon in their final group game. kosovo manager bernard challandes is calling england ‘the best side in europe right now‘. and gareth southgate says that's all because of an abundance of attacking options. we have got a lot of good attacking players. that is the beauty of this team, that we can... it's difficult for defences to focus on one person to tr

it came after video emerged of him last night in northern ireland talking to a group of northern ireland businessmen. more video of that meeting has emerged in the last couple of hours in which mrjohnson says that for trade in the future, under his deal between northern ireland and great britain, he assures the assembled throng, if throng it was, no forms, no barriers of any kind, which is in direct contradiction of what his own brexit secretary has said and what his brexit agreement says. that while there will be minimal administrative procedures, we are not talking about blokes in pink caps standing by the side of the road, but we are talking about filling in some export declarations, a lot of people in northern ireland are concerned about that. because they say however minimal it is, that is breaking the promise of u nfettered is breaking the promise of unfettered access for northern ireland to the great britain market. what he said there is that there will be no forms, not what his brexit secretary told parliament a few weeks ago. that is one we have to look at and see how that goes.

and for northern ireland and scotland, it should turn increasingly break through the day. it's still chilly, single digit temperatures for most of us. now, into the start of the new working week, this little ridge of high pressure is going to try to work its way across the british isles. and that should give a drier and brighter day on monday. this is the day where we do get to dry out. there will be a few showers brought into north sea coastal areas on a brisk, northerly wind, but otherwise it's fine. there is some sunshine. it stays pretty chilly, 6—10 degrees at best. but as we head deeper into the week, it does turn more unsettled again. we will see further outbreaks of rain, heaviest in the west. this is bbc news. welcome, if you are watching her in the uk, on pbs or around the globe. i am james reynolds. our top stories: prince andrew breaks his silence on thejeffrey epstein scandal in an exclusive bbc interview. he was question of staying at the home at the convicted sex offender. buckingham palace denies all allegations of inappropriate behaviour. evo morales, th

in northern ireland, sadly, it is becoming quite commonplace. here is where decisions should be taken to help tackle the problem but there is paralysis at stormont because northern ireland has been without a devolved government for nearly three yea rs, devolved government for nearly three years, since power—sharing collapsed. civil servants are running the health service in northern ireland, in the absence of a minister, but powers are limited. the minister, in my view, would either have sought more money and may have got it; or, they would have changed the priorities and spend more money on the waiting list times. if stormont is not restored soon, with patients at risk, there will be pressure on westminster to intervene. two men who were using metal detectors to look for treasure have been jailed for stealing a viking hoard of coins and jewellry worth millions of pounds. george powell was jailed for ten years and layton davies was sentenced to eight—and—a—half years. robert hall reports. the treasure stolen by a viking invader, gold, si
