northern ireland was created in 1921 an remained part of the u.k. while the republic of ireland became an independence -- inch state. that created a split between unionists and nationalists. in the late 1960's, armed group from both sides carried out bombings and shootings. a period began known as the troubles. they lasted 30 years, and more than 3,000 medium died and after those decades of violence, we had this moment in 1998, the signing of the good friday agreement. it brought peace, created a devolved ainistration from northern ireland which dictated that the largest party would always govern together. that is under pressure, in part the unionists say is because of the protocolonel but others say changing the protocol is not thages. >> the position is clear. it stands and maintains and in fact the protocol refers and sits on the good friday agreement. so the yesterday that one side has the protocol and another side can take it upon itself to make changes is a problem, wrong and not sustainable. let's understand the european union's position furt

ireland, you wouldn't be in despair? ireland, you wouldn't be in despair? i recognise that every time that union reacts in this kind of over—the—top way, it discombobulated nationalists in northern ireland, who suddenly feel like, what's the point of giving this a go? when we could have unity instead. and ijust think that unionism in some ways has dealt itself every kind of self harming plot with brexit and with the reaction to the protocol. i think it is unhelpful. i the reaction to the protocol. i think it is unhelpful.— the reaction to the protocol. i think it is unhelpful. i 'ust want to return think it is unhelpful. i 'ust want to eumt to t think it is unhelpful. ijust want to return to something - think it is unhelpful. ijust want| to return to something personal before being wound up. you referred to the late nights on twitter, you refer to the fact that it is likely fighting about. i imagine that you have a lifetime of being... abused. i aet a lot have a lifetime of being. .. abused. i get a lot of— have a lifetime of being... abused. i get

lets talk about the northern ireland protocol. i i the northern ireland protocol. i cannot work out what the strategy is because essentially, the northern ireland economy is doing pretty well, outpacing scotland, england and wales. the potential legislation will annoy the eu, annoy washington, could divide your party, many conservative mps are not happy about this. , , , :, :, , conservative mps are not happy about this. , , , :, , :, this. firstly, the protocol is not even et this. firstly, the protocol is not even yet being _ this. firstly, the protocol is not even yet being implemented, l this. firstly, the protocol is not - even yet being implemented, because it has been put into cold storage while we try and manage it. were it to be implemented, it would do even more damage diverting trade and that is upsetting the balance of the belfast good friday agreement. the problem at the moment in northern ireland, the stormont assembly, the government of northern ireland cannot meet because of the effects of the protocol, it creates unnecessary barriers on trade east

while there are no such checks on the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland. what the uk government now wants to implement is a two lane system. a green lane, without any checks, for goods intended for northern ireland only. and a red lane, with checks, for items that are intended to travel on into the irish republic. the eu don't like this system as they say it will be open to abuse. the legislation would also end the oversight role of the european court ofjustice as well as eu control over state aid and value added tax in the region, and aim to reduce bureaucracy for businesses. well, the criticism is coming in from all sides in politics but what do business leaders make of the proposals? roger pollen is head of the federation of small businesses northern ireland. good morning to you, roger. so what is your reaction to what the uk government is proposing? we have spent about 18 months analysing how the protocol is working and looking at where it is not working and raising those concerns with the eu and the uk government, the americans and others and i think

the people of scotland and northern ireland said no to brexit, the people of northern ireland, the vast majority, the overwhelming numbers in northern ireland, said that we shouldn't have brexit, and it was clear that what we needed to do, if you look at our politics, for example, was that we needed some kind of soft landing zone, and we were denied that by the dup and the conservatives. given that you like to stress the positive, can you see a way out? of course. first of all, in terms of how we deal this, there is always a way out, but it is the same way that that is for northern ireland and its difficulties, respect, negotiation and trust. but trust also has to be between the unionist community and the british government, so you can't do a deal with brussels if they haven't yet done a deal with the unionists, can they? actually, they can, because international relationships is not of ofcom and the good friday agreement and the requirement for cross community consent only applies to those issues which are devolved matters, not to those which are in. in northern ireland and a majority

northern ireland. even the european court of justice will no longer have any influence. johnson's fellow party members warn him that unilaterally changing the international treaty would be foolish and probably illegal. e representatives are disappointed and are already threatening punitive measures. the u. k has been in many ways a standard bearer for international law and the protection of international law for many, many years. this is damaging that rep reputation in a very fundamental way. but it's also a new low in terms of the relationship between britain and ireland. the british government has now introduced the bill in parliament, even though it still risks a legal dispute with the you or brussels correspond christine lumber, is covering the story and joins us now. christine, remind us again of how the northern erwin customs issue is currently dealt with under the briggs agreement. i know this is complicated, but try to put it in a nutshell bigger than that. right, terry? the e u has specific fo

a special arrangement was made for northern ireland, which kept northern ireland in the single e u market in the, in the sense that northern ireland still keeps to e. u. stand it. so any goods coming in to northern ireland from the rest of our off britain are subject to those east standards. what the british government is now seeking to do is, for example, propose 2 lanes at that border. one processing goods that are coming in are form from the rest of britain that are destined to stay in northern ireland, which the u. k. government says should only be subject to u. k. standards. and then another line for goods that are destined for the rest of the european union that would be coming from britain. but this in simple or words, terry is of course going against what was agreed upon. i in that northern ireland protocol that came into effect at the end of 2021. if maurice johnson does unilaterally change the terms of the deal on northern ireland, what impact that have on trade with the ear, cherry there, people are starting to use the words trade war. could we see a trade war between, between

devolved governments here in northern ireland is not happening i northern ireland is not happening because the democratic unionist party says it won't return to it while there are checks on things arriving from england, scotland and wales. the planned new law would get rid of these for goods staying in northern ireland, giving the uk greater flexibility over tax here and remove the role for the court of justice in sorting out disputes. tar justice in sorting out disputes. for the uk to justice in sorting out disputes. tr?" the uk to renege on an international treaty is something that i think does represent a new low point. so how did we get here? the prime minister has been on a farm in cornwall today, and was asked... have you driven any other tractors? i've driven a lot of tractors, yes, i've driven a lot of tractors, yes, i have _ i've driven a lot of tractors, yes, i have. ., ., ., , _, i have. not long after becoming prime minister _ i have. not long after becoming prime minister nearly _ i have. not long after becoming prime minister nearly three - i have. not long after becoming i p

now because of the political history, which is very sensitive between ireland and northern ireland, bricks it negotiators afford it wise not to impose a hard border between ireland and northern island, which is effectively the kind of instrument that you would need to be able to facilitate these very strict checks at the e, you are required on its product. so the workaround there was that all goods coming from the rest of great britain, that is england, scotland and wales would be checked in northern ireland. especial arrangement was made for northern ireland, which kept northern island in the single you market in the, in the sense that northern island still keeps to e. u. stand it. so any goods coming in to northern ireland, from the rest of our off britain are subject to those east standards. what the british government is now seeking to do is, for example, propose 2 lanes at that border. one process in goods that are coming in are from, from the rest of britain that are destined to stay in northern ireland, which the u. k. government says should only be subject to you k standards. and t

but now it doesn't like what this means for northern ireland. people can't access the goods they need to access, we're not able to implement the same tax benefits in northern ireland as we are for the people of great britain, so this is a very serious issue that we need to fix. we have sought a negotiated settlement for the last 18 months, but as yet, the eu have been unwilling to change the terms of the protocol. and they've not changed their mind today, either. no workable alternative solution has been found to this delicate, long—negotiated balance. any renegotiations would simply bring further legal uncertainty for the people and businesses in northern ireland. for these reasons, the european union will not renegotiate the protocol. so, what impact does the protocol have on people in northern ireland? beth runs a garden centre in ballynahinch in county down. a lot of the growers don't want to get involved with the paperwork. i think it's made things harder. you're trying to get stock from different sources. but others, like the meat and da
