in broadbrush terms, they're irish sea? in broadbrush terms, they‘ re pretty irish sea? in broadbrush terms, they're pretty much the same. what michael gove was saying is different todayis michael gove was saying is different today is under the previous arrangements we could have had an awful lot of goods coming from great britain into northern ireland will be subject to tariffs or trade taxes and under this new trusted trader scheme, that will happen. the other thing he was suggesting was there will be certain goods like sausages which would have been banned altogether, but they will still be able to come in. however only for six months. so it does seem likely that the sort of range of checks and controls that we were talking about a year ago controls that we were talking about a yearago in controls that we were talking about a year ago in this deal was originally done, they were largely still apply and the progress has made on the customs side of things, the terrace will be charged on goods coming into northern ireland in virtually all circumstances. but nonetheless, t

for manufacturers that bring raw materials over the irish sea, some relief today that new tariffs will be minimised. but, like this firm which makes plastic goods, from hairbrushes to aeroplane parts, the real challenge is dealing with new documentation over where their products are sold on. what difference does the added paperwork make to your business? the bureaucracy, we think, is going to be one of the major burdens of brexit, unfortunately, we understood that from the start, and that is indeed a cost burden for business. and the tracking and trace required to understand where materials are actually consumed, and which products, and ultimately which markets to which they're sold into, that's a very complex process. there are just 22 days left until the brexit transition period ends, but even then, it's not the final destination. all these new trading arrangements for northern ireland will continue to evolve well into the future. emma vardy, bbc news. medical regualtors have recommended that people with a history of significant allergic reactions should not have the pfizer—biontec

that irish sea border. it is a new reality. and really this is a real test now because the ports in northern ireland have been scrambling to get ready for all the changes, don't forget a lot of the processes that have to be agreed were only really agreed in the last few weeks. businesses and people at the ports have had months and months of uncertainty, but the test is now it all kicks in, there is a bit of phasing in over the next few months but it does mark a huge change for northern ireland and there's been a lot of work to do for a lot of businesses who get goods in from great britain and bring goods over the irish sea to get that paperwork in order and to see if they can really fit into this new system. one of the big questions is will he put off businesses in great britain from shipping to northern ireland and too much hassle, how is this going to look at reality and going to find out in the weeks and months to come. and this will be very closely watched in the eu. yes. absolutely. the eu have a huge interest in making su

sea onto the sheu over the irish sea onto the shelf but the devil will be in the detail and it will all be revealed tomorrow. don't forget injanuary revealed tomorrow. don't forget in january those special arrangements will kick in for northern ireland where northern ireland had to continue sticking by eu rules because northern ireland is effectively becoming a new gout way into the eu. -- becoming a new gout way into the eu. —— a new gateway. people are fond of reminding borisjohnson people are fond of reminding boris johnson because companies having to get ready for the new checks and paperwork, he told them previously, looked don't worry when you get through all of this, you'll be able to chuck some of that paperwork into the bin. we are going to find out tomorrow if that is really the case and how much the added burden on red tape on traders will be reduced and of course the reason why that's important is that any added bureaucracy has an implication for the cost of goods that we have on the shelves and the range of goods, particularly that consumers in northern ireland can

to pick up, particularly in the evening through the irish sea. these are the daytime temperatures, between nine and 13 degrees. through the evening the wind will really strengthen across the irish sea and areas adjacent to it and the rain moves from the west towards the east with some heavy bursts as well. there will be a lot of low cloud, ill fog across the moors and through wales, cumbria and the southern uplands but as we go through the night, after an early dip in temperatures, they will rise and if you look at these, they are not too dissimilar to what we are looking at during the day and for some they will be higher, so once again we have this range between nine and 13 degrees. through the course of tomorrow we start with hill fog, some cloud around as well and then we have the next system coming in from the west which is likely to produce heavy rain, particularly across south—west england and wales as you can see through the flashes of green. it is falling on saturated ground so could lead to issues with flooding and these black circles

the fear was they would have a cheque in the irish sea, but what is going to happen? they are not going to be any customs checks orfilling in a document not going to be any customs checks or filling in a document for trade going between northern ireland and great britain but it is the trade between great britain and northern ireland in that direction into northern ireland, and the biggest problem really is on food supplies, because a lot of it goes across in that direction, and at the moment michael gove says it is nothing new to have checks on animals, for example, but look at the numbers. in 2020, 1837 consignments of livestock going into northern ireland which have to be checked, about five per day, but when you talk about food because then you are talking in any food of animal origin in the new regime, 460 containers per day and each of those containers can have multiple consignments within it. a lot is going to depend on how much goodwill there is which i think therefore means whether or not an overall trade deal because if the eu decides it wants to stick to the

sea into some of the western parts of the uk. but in general, fewer showers, i think, on tuesday, more places will be dry with some sunshine and the winds won't be quite as strong either, but temperatures may not be quite as high. 9—11 degrees is still above normal for this time of the year. really, through the rest of the week, it stays mild. we're not looking at any frost overnight, but it stays very unsettled. some windy weather for western areas on wednesday, rain for all parts for a while, and then it goes more showery, perhaps wetter again on friday. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment with anne and james — first the headlines. another deadline extended, brexit talks will now continue. both sides agreed to carry on talking because they've been unable to come to an agreement. i am afraid we are still very far apart on some key things but where there is life, there is hope. we will keep talking in the uk certainly won't be walking away from the talks. i think people expe

gusts of wind are likely to reach about 60 miles an hour through some of these exposed irish sea coast and elsewhere about 30 mph, so certainly a noticeable wind through the day on wednesday. between nine and ii through the day on wednesday. between nine and 11 degrees, so still mild for the time of year but cooler than it has been out there today. heading through wednesday into thursday we have a brief ridge of slightly higher pressure pushing m, of slightly higher pressure pushing in, so that will squeeze most of the showers away during the day on thursday and still a few for the north west of scotland, perhaps xiao state —— south—east england and may be dry before the next area of cloud moves in on thursday. that's all from the bbc news at six. so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm jane dougall. banned and fined after two driving convictions. aston villa captainjack grealish says he's deeply ashamed. more on the dementia crisis in rugby, we hearfrom a player who took action against french cl
