there is no such thing in northern ireland. it isa no such thing in northern ireland. it is a devolved matter and it is for the northern irish is in beta debate and decides at issue. some who wish to circumvent the assembly‘s role may be doing so to avoid its position. the dup is a pro—life party, and it is an extremely sensitive issue, not one that should have people taking to the streets in celebration. she finishes off with a reference of the fa ct finishes off with a reference of the fact that storm and has not been sitting for many months. she says "i wa nt to sitting for many months. she says "i want to see the assembly restored. " some of those up of the same people blocking devolution are demanding that westminster change the law are simultaneously opposing direct rule. the dup's position very clear, there. that was arlene foster. let's ta ke there. that was arlene foster. let's take a look at the weather forecast. there has been a lot of talk about these thunderstorms. it has been beautiful and other areas. but southern and central areas, that thunderstorm

travel to northern ireland. we spoke to emma campbell, and abortion rights activist with the alliance for choice and a photographer with the x-ile project. highlighting the portraits of an estimated 170,000 women who have had to travel abroad to access abortion oututside of ireland ad northern irereland. >> in 1967 when the u.k. government introduced the 1 1967 ababortion act, whwhich allowed women -- amy: d doctors, wastwo nenever extended to northernrn ireland. its own ireland had parliament and never introduced the act. since then, there are been many occasions when northern ireland hasn't had a devolved government and has been directly ruled by u.k., westminster. and in that long period of time, the act was never extended d to northern ireland, never introduced. on a number of occasions when there was an attempt to extend itit to northernrn ireland, isiticians in the dep, which the democratic unionist party, but regardless of the name, they're not very democratic, but ruruled with the uninited kingd. they''r

do not want to be part of all ireland united ireland, so i think it is... yes, i did some research on this. it is a minority, but it is much more than 30 years ago. if you look at the irish people and northern irish people, there was, like, 4% wishing that the countries were reunited. now it is more like 30%. but you are forgetting about the referendum that will take less than the republic as well. of course! and that's northern ireland, and southern ireland could come to some sort of agreement is really speculating pretty far into the future. ireland's border with the uk is at the heart of the negotiations for brexit. after the uk leaves the eu next year, how will goods and people travel between them? this week, the most senior customs official in the uk said it could happen, but at a price. max fac, the preferred option of the brexiteers designed to minimise delays at the irish border, or indeed between british ports and the continent, will cost businesses between 17 and £20 billion a year. that's about twice as much as britain's net annual contribution

how has the result in the republic of ireland been viewed in northern ireland today? welcome our busy, yesterday's result any referendum was a momentous the women's rights, but it is vital that no woman on the island of ireland has left behind. all eyes are now on the uk government. they need to decide if they are going to remain complicit in the harm and suffering of women living under these restrictive abortion laws, or if the politicians in the republic of ireland, they are going to stand with an sad other women in northern ireland and urgently legislates a much—needed and long overdue reform. be dup has 0rigi said that northern allott must not be forced into doing something just because of what has happened in the south. this is a devolved issue, how can you ask westminster to intervene? well, the dup are wrong. they are out of step with their own electorate, on that. amnesty polls and other opinion polls have the illusion that the majority of people in northern ireland favour reform, which includes the decriminalisation of abortion. health and justice are indee

that isn't an option in ireland. i know people come to in a dab terminations done and to deliver a dead foetus anne bury at and i know they fill out forms to say how they want the remains to be disposed of, that's the same if you are english or irish. the human rights council of the united nations has looked at this a couple of times and concluded that ireland has failed to strike the right balance between the protection of the features on the rights of women. they say the irish situation imposes a high level of mental anguish which amounts to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment on irish women in these situations. let's look at that. there are six committees at the un how will have been highly critical of our abortion laws and have issued edicts dictating we should change them according to their diktats. the fa ct them according to their diktats. the fact is, there are no committees who have power to either expand or interpret the conventions and the treaties which they monitor. they can simply monitor and report.

our policy is the same from the north of ireland right through to the bottom of ireland, we want to see the same policy, we need to show care and compassion towards women. ice cream, ice cream! in belfast today, a sense that the debate now moves here. northern ireland remains the only part of the uk where abortion is illegal unless there's a risk to a woman's life. i would love to see a referendum up here. um, again, political parties, you know, probably it will never happen. but hopefully, it will start a bit of a conversation going. i don't think it should be legalised at all up here, whatsoever. um, i do think it'll probably have a knock—on effect, like a domino effect that'll come up in this direction. i think it is a popular opinion throughout northern ireland that we should not have a liberalised abortion regime, we should not have the 1967 abortion act here. but, uh, as i say, in the absence of a devolved assembly, there's no possibility for discussion on those issues. the priority is to restore devolution, say number 10, so northern ireland politicians can decide. but a number

singing a transformative moment for ireland. more emphatically than anyone had predicted, the country has voted for change. it has been such a long time coming. we have won. it's a massive relief. two years fighting and campaigning and finally we've shown the rest of the country that we got what we wanted and what we fight it for. it is showing a sea change in our society and how we treat women. exit polls indicated a landslide. by midday, pro—life campaigners conceded defeat but resolved to continue their campaign. this result will pave the way, and everything about abortion on demand. we stand by everything we said during the campaign. the opinion on abortion is now so strongly against the messages you are putting forward — i continue to oppose what many women want? we have many women ourselves who have gone through abortion ourselves and have been hurt by it, it gives us strength in continuing with this. more than two thirds of voters supported repealing ireland's controversial law which has restricted access to abortion

across the border in northern ireland. more now on our main story — the political uncertainty in italy. our correspondent, james reynolds, has this assessment. this is now a real clash between president and populist. it is about easily‘s relationship with the european union. the populists had wa nted european union. the populists had wanted to appoint a finance minister that has had any past that italy should be prepared to leave the euro the president vetoed this. he told the president vetoed this. he told the populists you cannot speak italy out of the currency had helped create. you need to have a proper national debate about it first. and so national debate about it first. and so perhaps the only solution right now would be early elections in which, for the first time, italy's membership of the euro and its relationship with the eu might be up for discussion. more stories making the news now. as many as nine russian troops have been killed by militants in syria. a number of government soldiers also died in the atta

the commission and have seen the northern ireland border as a way again of trying to thwart i mean they really do think that if this keeps going on that eventually people will say let's have another referendum that is not going to happen and finally a cape if. you might have a big if perhaps a man present something to the commons does she then we'll have a majority took over the pru customs union vote from the house of lords yes and the customs union vote in the house of lords was a very peculiar kind of wording. it wasn't actually saying stay in the customs union but yes i think the more important one coming back from the lords of course is the date to keep the date in they took the date and i'd be i would just say something that most people talk about that i think will be a lot more labor m.p.'s who will abstain and there were a number of at labor m.p. substandard last time gets hardly noticed but after the council elections after what's happened up in leave the areas i think we'll find that a lot of people will say we're not going to let the nords actually try to really give us an ex

bar exists in northern ireland. she goes on to say that legislation governing abortion isn't about matter and it should be for the northern ireland assembly to debate and decide on such issues. of course, there is no executive in stormont at the moment. they've been without an executive for 16 months. the government here is trying to get the parties over there to negotiate, get back around the table and get some sort of power—sharing agreement back up and running. but of course thatis back up and running. but of course that is why the question is coming here to westminster, because in the absence of the ruling executive in northern ireland pressure is being put on the prime minister by the labour party, by the liberal democrats also, to take this as an opportunity to create change in northern ireland. thank you very much. president trump says discussions about his possible meeting with the north korean leader, kim jong—un, injust over two weeks, are going "very well". earlier this week mr trump pulled out of the

ireland causing a huge shock by defeating pakistan. it is fitting they are the opponents in this historic first test match. they are the favourites, but captain william porterfield wants to create an upset again. there is no reason with these conditions we cannot beat pakistan. it is a test for a reason. it isa pakistan. it is a test for a reason. it is a test of ability and technique and mental attitude towards the game. i think we have a lot of those boxes ticked off and we are confident with the experience in the squad we can beat any nation on any given day. it will not be an easy challenge. they will go in as favourites and they deserve to. it is our first test cricket experience, but we have everything we need. ireland may be inexperienced at test match level but have been playing one—day internationals for 12 years and the captain knows they have a bank of international experience to call upon. they have not played test matches but they play regularly and play county games as well. they know how to play and it is not easy to c

you could also see in ireland the essence of ireland, the spirit of ireland, which those people had brought with them to america. so for me, that visit meant a huge amount to the irish, to me as a young boy. what it meant was that for the first time, we in ireland became aware, in a very dramatic way, of the power of the global irish. the president's visit highlighted brilliantly the fact that we had a global family of people of irish descent all over the world, and that many of them had climbed to positions of considerable eminence in their countries where they had settled and where their descendents had lived and worked. so it was a huge eye-opener for us. it opened a window on the world for ireland. remember, it was only a few years before that that ireland had decided to open up our economy. we were a very insular country in the 1950's. in the late 1950's, we decided to change the nature of our country and embrace the world, rather than regarding it with fear and suspicion. that is the basis of ireland's development since that time, of the growth and development of the irish economy and

"it shows one of the important reasons we need a functioning executive back up and running", the source said. well, joining me now from exeter is the conservative chair of the health select committee, sarah wollaston. good afternoon. the source in downing street highlights an important fact, this should be a decision for the executive. of course who would all like to see the stormont assembly back up and running. it's now an acceptable that women in northern ireland will be in the only part of the united kingdom not to have the same human rights as women elsewhere. and also things moved have on in the republic of ireland too, so it's absolutely time for us to change this. if the stormont assembly was in place, that would be the first port of call, but it isn't. and i think if an amendment is allowed by the speaker to the domestic violence bill, to a

in the republic of ireland. conservative chair of the health select committee, sarah wollaston, says she welcomes the referendum result and hopes it can bring about change in northern ireland. this is a great result that we've seen in the republic of ireland. it's now completely unacceptable that women in northern ireland will be in the only part of the united kingdom not to have the same human rights as women elsewhere. and also things have moved on in the republic of ireland too, so it's absolutely time for us to change this. if the stormont assembly was in place, of course that would be the first port of call, but it isn't. and i think if an amendment is allowed by the speaker to the domestic violence bill, to allow women to have the same rights as the rest of the united kingdom, i will certainly be voting for it, and it would be likely that would be a free vote. and i think parliament would vote to bring those rights in line with the rest of the united kingdom. it has always been an anomaly that women in nor
