it is an issue that was huge during the brexit negotiations. the du p is a poster that border as unionist and view it as an economic barrier within their own damages northern islands place in the u.k.. sinn fein would say brexit on the whole is a very bad thing. they have criticized boris johnson for planning to take unilateral action for being able to scrap parts of the protocol. balancing the critical relationships is very difficult. boris johnson says he was going to sort out the protocol and says it has to be a legislative solution. in other words, he's pulling toward government plans are put together a new law, if there is not a new deal with that you you -- with the e.u. ross: mcdonald's is selling its business in russia in response to the war with ukraine. it says is not consistent with its values to continue operating there. a correspondent has more from moscow. reporter: mcdonald's had temporarily shut its restaurants across russia back in march. that's when international companies had suspended their operations. the fact that mcdonald

it would be ridiculous for brexiteers — but as some brexiteers do — to not admit that it has created difficulties. it's essentially creating trade barriers. for me, it was never really about that, it was about democratic fundamentals and greater autonomy. i would say it is balanced. i say there is an economic issue, obviously, and the deal needs to be improved, but if you look at two disasters that have happened since brexit, in both of them, covid with vaccines — and i wouldn't wish to overstate this — but with ukraine, but you see evidence there of the benefits of greater national autonomy. a bit of national self—interest. crosstalk. if it's a state of mind in the way of sort of pursuing geopolitics. just one — the issue then is, as an island, if we are seeing this deglobalisation, how best we cope with that? because islands are inevitably dependent for getting things — people, skills, whatever — from outside. well, i would predict that at some point in the next 5—10 years, the deal is going to need re—examining. britain's going to have to try bring down some of the

after the brexit vote in 2017, i think it�*s fair to say a number of disgruntled labour voters and brexit voters moved over and started voting tory, we saw that in the general election in 2017, the local election and general election after that as well. but since the pandemic, things are beginning to change most of last year we had the senedd elections in wales and mark drakeford�*s labour government exceeded expectations and did much better. i think we basically mirrored that in wales in the local elections. what we didn�*t expect potentially was such a big downfall for the tories here in wales. they have done worse, losing all over the gains they made in 2017, losing the majority and the only councils they controlled, monmouthshire in wales are now in monmouthshire, for the first time, labour is now the biggest party. that is the first time for labour there. labourtook that is the first time for labour there. labour took back control two of the council is a last time around. they were unable to take the third one and they lost one as well due to a local issue. some of the other stor

this is brexit as i keep saying. all of this is brexit catching up with northern ireland politics, it transformed part of the electoral map of great britain, we saw that in 2019 and see it continuing to unfold in the local elections which have just happen to foster now is catching up with northern ireland. annita. yes, that analysis is right. brexit catching up with northern ireland, people's chance to react to that in the polls. we can go live to the meadowbank sports arena in magherafelt. you can see in the centre that picture michelle o'neill, sinn fein�*s leader in northern ireland as well as mary lou mcdonald in the pinkjacquet, slightly hidden in that picture. the leader of the party sinn fein arriving at the count. michelle o'neill�*s vote was counted at the centre. she easily passed the quota to be elected on first preference votes in the first round and we are expecting a news conference here from sinn fein or a statement to be made from sinn fein for sublets if we can hear anything. we were turning up o

brexit also features in the main story in the daily telegraph, which outlines a post—brexit visa scheme for foreign graduates. the ft has a picture ofjoe biden laying flowers at the texas school where 21 people were shot dead. its lead report focuses on the international fight against inflation. there's a striking portrait on the front of the guardian of the jockey lester piggott, whose death was announced today. lester piggott also features on the front page of the daily mail, which leads on a story about how 12 million people are going to attend platinum jubilee street parties. images of the queen projected onto stonehenge dominate the times�* front page. its main story features concerns over power supplies due to the war in ukraine. so that was a quick look through some of the front pages. jemma and caroline, good evening to you both. jemma, you are going to kick us off, please. front page of the metro, and it is the fallout from the champions league match that took place in paris yesterday.— league match that took place in paris yesterday. yeah, a terrible ni . ht for paris yest

of the lack of clarity over how brexit would be imposed. and of course, people are still a little bit torn between whether they should stay there or join with the republic of ireland, and even broader question. since the good friday peace agreement of 1988, there has been an assembly and military coalition, at this time around, sinn fein, the irish nationalist, could become the largest party. history could be in the making. our correspondent in belfast. reporter: the sinn fein leader on the campaign trail, supporting local candidates in west belfast. in this republican heartland, many hope this election will be a turning point in history. for a century, northern ireland has been dominated by politicians loyal to the british crown. [chatter] >> this election, sinn fein has the opportunity to become the largest party, but also take the post of first minister. the significance in historical terms but also contemporary terms, is that politics changed in ireland. that ireland is changing. that we are now more open and more progressive society, b

the dup supported brexit and the consequence of brexit is that there has to be checks on goods moving between the uk and the eu and those checks are now happening at northern ireland's ports and the dup say that undermines northern ireland's ties to the rest of the uk. the arrangement borisjohnson agreed on are known as the protocol, goods are checked as they are moved from england, scotland and wales so they don't have to be customs posts along the land border between the republic of ireland where they enter the eu, and installations on the land border would pose a real threat to the peace process. the irish foreign minister says the eu has made proposals for flexibility to improve things and that the uk should engage with them. this things and that the uk should engage with them. , , ., ., ., with them. this is not a time for unilateral _ with them. this is not a time for unilateral action _ with them. this is not a time for unilateral action and _ with them. this is not a time for unilateral action and announcing legislation which would essentially break international law and creat

you've not got brexit done. no, i disagree with that very much. but, chris, where you're right is that we have a residual issue. it's causing... in northern ireland, it's causing stresses and strains. back in county down, another guitar is finished, but the soundtrack and consequences of brexit can still be clearly heard. the prime minister emphasised he wants to do everything he possibly could to restore power sharing government here, and today was step one. tomorrow will be step two with a speech from the foreign secretary liz truss setting out a plan for a new law to override elements of the protocol. something plenty in the eu say would be a breach of international law. the government hopes that by the end of this week they may have done enough to persuade the democratic unionist party to go back into the assembly, so the assembly can meet again, but thatis so the assembly can meet again, but that is not the same as executive and devolved government. that is likely to take much longer. studio: many thanks, chris mason, a political editor in be
