There is to be a badger cull in Northern Ireland as part of measures to control TB in cattle. Announcing the move the Agriculture Minister, Edwin Poots, said the cull would be only in targeted areas and will not be a wholesale removal of badgers. Farmers in Northern Ireland have been critical of the time it has taken to get this decision, but wildlife charities said the policy is unjustifiable and morally wrong, and legal challenges have already been issued against the proposed cull. Fishers in Whitby say they're unsure the industry will ever recover after widespread shellfish deaths along the North East Coast of England last winter. As we've reported they're unhappy with official explanations about what's causing the problem - but now the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has closed its investigation into the deaths for a second time. It says surveys done this month found healthy catches of crabs and lobsters - but fishermen are still concerned. And talks between Canada and the UK about a Free Trade Agreement are underway. Canada is the world's fifth largest exporter of agricultural and agri-food products. Presented by Charlotte Smith Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons

Björn Þór Sigbjörnsson og Guðrún Hálfdánardóttir ræddu í Heimsglugganum við Boga Ágústsson um ástandið í Mjanmar, sem áður hét Búrma. Herforingjar rændu völdum þar fyrir ári og síðan hefur ástandið í landinun hríðversnað og svo er komið að óttast er að borgarastyrjöld brjótist út. Herforingjastjórnin hefur barið niður mótmæli og andstöðu af mikilli hörku. Vitað er um 1500 sem her og lögregla hafa orðið að bana en almennt er talið að miklu fleiri hafi verið drepnir. Víðtæk verkföll hafa lamað atvinnulífið og það hefur orðið mikið bakslag, svo mjög að hætta er á hungursneyð. Sameinuðu þjóðirnar áætla að þjóðarframleiðslan í Mjanmar hafi dregist saman um að minnsta kosti tíu prósent á síðasta ári. Alþjóðabankinn segir raunar að ástandið sé enn verra, efnahagssamdráttur vegna valdaránsins og áhrifa covid sé meira en 30 prósent. Michelle Bachelet, mannréttindastjóri Sameinuðu þjóðanna, hefur sagt að ástandið hafi breyst úr pólitískri krísu í mannlegar hamfarir. Þróunarstofnun Sameinuðu þjóðanna taldi um mitt ár í fyrra að helmingur þjóðarinnar yrði undir fátækrarmörkum í byrjun þessa árs. Það eru meir en 25 milljónir manns. Framtíðin virðist mjög dökk, lítil von er um frið, fréttaskýrendur hafa sagt vopnaða baráttu gegn herforingjunum nánast vonlausa, hún verði tæpast sigruð á vígvelli. Það eru afar litlar líkur á að efnahagurinn nái sér, raunar margt sem bendir til þess að efnahagsástandið versni enn. Edwin Poots, landbúnaðarráðherra Norður-Írlands, fyrirskipaði í gærkvöld öllum að óvörum að tollverðir ættu að hætta eftirliti með vörum sem koma frá Bretlandi. Það er brot á Brexit-samningunum og getur sett samninga um framkvæmd þeirra í uppnám. Í lokin var rætt um San Quentin fangelsið alræmda í Kaliforníu í Bandaríkjunum. Hefur Gavin Newsom, ríkisstjóri, fyrirskipað að dauðaganginum í hinu alræmda San Quentin fangelsi verði lokað. Það eru nærri 700 fangar á dauðadeildinni og þeir verða fluttir í önnur fangelsi og þar verður farið með þá eins og aðra fanga sem dæmdir hafa verið í lífstíðarfangelsi án möguleika á að verða látnir lausir. San Quentin hefur komið fyrir mörgum kvikmyndum og sjónvarpsmyndum, margar bækur hafa verið skrifaðar þar sem fangelsið kemur við sögu og svo er náttúrulega hið fræga lag Johnny Cash, sem heitir einfaldlega San Quentin. Þekktasta útgáfa lagsins var tekin upp í fangelsinu sjálfu 1969 þar sem fangar voru áheyrendur. Cash syngur fyrir munn fanga um hversu ömurlegt fangelsið sé, lifandi helvíti og að hann hati hvern þumlung. Fangarnir taka vel undir þegar Johnny Cash bölvar San Quentin.

Noord-Ierse minister trekt stekker uit Brexit-afspraak De Brexit-afspraken over Noord-Ierland zorgen al sinds het akkoord is gesloten - kerst 2020 - voor grote problemen. Zodat er vrije verkeer van goederen -en personen tussen de twee Ierlanden mogelijk te houden, moeten wel weer producten uit het Verenigd Koninkrijk door Noord-Ierse autoriteiten gecontroleerd worden. Voor de DUP, de protestante regeringspartij in Belfast, is de maat nu vol. Hun prominente minister Edwin Poots verraste vriend en vijand door aan te kondigen dat er geen douanecontrole meer gaat plaatsvinden.

Italiaanse fascisten grijpen hun kans in pandemie In het naoorlogse Italië is het fascisme nooit echt weggeweest. Ondanks wetten die fascistische propaganda verbieden, zijn organisaties als Forza Nuova en Casa Pound al decennia prominent actief in Italie. Met de coronapandemie groeit de sympathie voor dit soort organisaties. Een reportage van Angelo van Schaik.

This time of year should be a boom time for Cornish oyster exports to continental Europe; they're an integral part of festive celebrations in several countries. But since the end of the Brexit transition in January, shipping bivalve molluscs to the EU has become largely impractical, because of a trade dispute about coastal water quality. We hear more from fishers on the Falmouth Estuary. Northern Ireland's Agriculture Minister, Edwin Poots, has revealed his proposal for schemes to replace the current subsidy system, whcih will replace the EU's Common Agricultural Policy. And in answer to a listener query, we explore when the UK's dependence on migrant labour began - as the Government insists companies should be investing in attracting more British workers to work in food processing and agriculture. Finally, we hear from a Snowdonian sheep farmer who wants more of us to eat locally sourced meat for Christmas; even if it means a break with tradition...

Northern Ireland Agriculture Minister, Edwin Poots, says GPS technology could be used to reduce the need for checks on products travelling from Great Britain for use in Northern Ireland. Under the Northern Ireland Protocol, products travelling from Great Britain and Northern Ireland are subject to checks to make sure they comply with EU standards. Since leaving the EU's Common Agricultural Policy, part of the Government's plan for farming in England includes an ‘exit scheme' for those who want to leave the industry. A consultation was held over the summer, and ended in August, but farmers are still waiting for the final details of the scheme, which is supposed to open next year. The consultation suggested giving farmers a lump sum of just over 2 times their normal Basic Payments in return for selling or renting out their land. The payments would be capped at 100 thousand pounds. And we visit a dairy in Wales to find out about a local cheese with a Dutch heritage.

Writer, political strategist and The New European's Editor-at-Large Alastair Campbell joins the podcast to discuss why politicians, and the media, won't acknowledge Brexit, the upcoming Labour Party Conference and what Keir Starmer should be saying in his speech.

British lamb may still be years away from American plates, despite news that the USA is to lift its ban. The Americans banned UK lamb along with sheep genetics in 1989, blaming BSE. The prime minister has now announced that ban will be lifted, calling it a 'solid incremental step on trade'. The National Sheep Association has welcomed the news, saying there is a strong market for British sheep semen and embryos in the US, but it warns it will take time to work through the details before exports to the US can actually start. Farmers in Northern Ireland are getting £15 million pounds extra money. We hear from the agriculture minister, Edwin Poots, who has announced the addition to this year's single farm payment. Mr Poots also says he is trying to tackle the labour shortage in abattoirs, by lobbying the Home Office for permission to bring butchers from the Philippines to work in Northern Ireland. As part of our week's focus on muck, we learn how human sewage is turned into a product that can be spread on farmers' fields. And, with gas prices up by 250%, farmers growing veg under glass are reconsidering their plans. Gas is used to heat glasshouses, so costs are skyrocketing.

Are you listening Jeffrey?Unionism, especially its DUP component, has been talking up unionist and loyalist resistance to the Irish Protocol since before Boris Johnson dirty-joed them, broke his commitments to them, negotiated and then signed up to the Protocol.There is some evidence of this in the loyalist street disturbances earlier this year and the sacking of Arlene Foster and of Edwin Poots. The dramatic decline in the polling fortunes of the DUP, as it flounders about trying to assert its former role as the undisputed leader of unionism, is also linked to its stance on Brexit and its transparent efforts to blame everyone else for a debacle they helped create.Reclaiming the EnlightenmentThe best kind of history is that which successfully brings the stories of our past to life. Recently I had the good fortune to buy three little books that do exactly that from An Fhuiseog on the Falls Road, beside Sevastopol Street. The three are Mary Ann McCracken 1770-1866 – Feminist, Revolutionary and Reformer; The United Irishmen and the Men of no Property, The Sans Culottes of Belfast; and Cave Hill and the United Irishmen.Together they give a wonderful insight into the lives and working experience of those in the Belfast region who helped shape the United Irish Society of the late 18th century. They are all written by John Gray who is the former Librarian of Belfast's Linen Hall Library. John Gray has written and lectured on “many aspects of Ulster's Labour and radical history.”  The pamphlets are written under the auspices of ‘Reclaim the Enlightenment' which “is committed to recalling and celebrating that progressive era in Belfast's past. We are convinced that doing so can lend inspiration in the present.”

Baol ar Stormont a scor faoi Dheireadh Fómhair. The DUP leader is threatening to disband the Stormont institutions by October if the Northern Ireland Protocol is not amended. Tá ceannaire an DUP ag bagairt institiúidí Stormont a scor faoi mhí Dheireadh Fómhair muna leasaítear Protacál Thuaisceart Éireann. Script The DUP leader is threatening to disband the Stormont institutions by October if the Northern Ireland Protocol is not amended. Scriopt Tá ceannaire an DUP ag bagairt institiúidí Stormont a scor faoi mhí Dheireadh Fómhair muna leasaítear Protacál Thuaisceart Éireann. The Westminster Government says it will implement legislation for the Irish language in the North in the same month. Deir Rialtas Westminster go gcuirfidh sé reachtaíocht don Ghaeilge sa Tuaisceart i bhfeidhm an mhí chéanna. Yesterday, Jeffrey Donaldson said that Westminster 's promise about the Irish language is one - sided. Inné, dúirt Jeffrey Donaldson go bhfuil geallúint Westminster faoin nGaeilge aontaobhach. In his short time as leader of the DUP, Edwin Poots was unwilling to promise that Irish language legislation will be introduced before next year's election. Ina sheal gairid mar cheannaire ar an DUP ní raibh Edwin Poots sásta gealltanas a thabhairt go dtabharfaidh reachtaíocht Ghaeilge isteach roimh thoghchán na bliana seo chugainn. To avoid an early election the British Government has agreed to Sinn Féin's request to introduce legislation in Westminster if Stormont does not introduce it before the end of this month. Chun toghchán luath a sheachaint d'aontaigh Rialtas na Breataine le hiarratas Shinn Féin reachtaíocht a thabhairt isteach i Westminster muna dtabharfadh Stormont isteach é roimh dheireadh na míosa seo. It is clear that this is not going to happen and the DUP leader has expressed dissatisfaction that the British Government is going to introduce a cultural package but is not going to protect the UK internal market by making changes to the protocol. . Is léir nach bhfuil sin ag dul ag tarlú agus míshástacht curtha in iúl ag ceannaire an DUP go bhfuil Rialtas na Breataine ag dul a thabhairt isteach pacáiste cultúrtha ach nach bhfuil siad ag dul ag cosaint margadh inmheánach na Ríochta Aontaithe trí athruithe a dhéánamh ar an phrotacál. Jeffrey Donaldson did not give a deadline on when the party would walk out of Stormont if the protocol was not changed but said that it was weeks and not months that would suggest that when the Westminster Government introduced language legislation that was the deadline. . Níor thug Jeffrey Donaldson spriocdháta ar cén uair a shiúlfadh an páirtí amach as Stormont muna ndéanfar athraithe ar an phrotocál ach dúirt gur seachtainí agus ní míonna atá i gceist a thabharfadh le fios gur nuair a thabharfas Rialtas Westminster reachtaíocht teanga isteach gur sin an sprioc- am. Maras Sefcovic was on his last day visiting here. Bhí Maras Sefcovic ar a lá deireanach ar cuairt anseo. Queen's University held a small demonstration where he gave a speech. Bhí léirsiú beag ag Ollscoil na Ríona áit a dtug sé óráid. And again he stressed that Brexit was the problem and not the protocol and said that fresh negotiations on the protocol would create instability and uncertainty. Agus arís chuir sé béim ar gur Brexit an fhadhb agus ní an protacál agus dúirt go gcruthódh idirbheartaíocht úr ar an phrotacál neamhsheasmhacht agus neamhchinnteacht.

Jeffrey Donaldson spoke to Anton Savage following his first meeting with Taoiseach Micheál Martin. The new DUP leader was in Dublin to discuss his concerns about the protocol and his recent efforts to calm the violence in the North. During the interview, they also talked about his leadership of the DUP since he took over from Edwin Poots in June.

Who is Jeffrey Donaldson, the new leader of Northern Ireland's troubled Democratic Unionist Party? What are the challenges he faces? How did former leader Edwin Poots get it so badly wrong, losing power after just 21 days in the job, and why is the Irish language such a thorny issue in the politics of the North?

The political future of Northern Ireland has been thrown into uncertainty after the unexpected resignation of DUP leader Edwin Poots after just 21 days in office.  What is the future of unionism now and are we looking at a possible General Election in Northern Ireland? Eamon Torsney was joined by Mike Nesbitt Member of Northern Ireland's Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Strangford and former Leader Ulster Unionist Party. He said that the Tánaiste Leo Varadkar's comments earlier this week were ill-advised. Nesbitt emphasized the importance of structured political dialogue in order to achieve lasting stability.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall. * Inniu an naoú lá déag de mhí an Mheithimh. Is mise Gwyneth Nic Aidicín Ní Loingsigh. D'éirigh Edwin Poots as mar cheannaire an DUP ar an Aoine tar éis trí seachtaine sa phost. Ar an lá céanna vótáil tromlach mór de bhaill an DUP in aghaidh cinneadh Poots leanúint ar aghaidh le hathdhéanamh Feidhmeannas Stormont agus ainmniú Paul Givan mar Chéad-Aire Tuaisceart Éireann. Aontaíodh oíche Déardaoin go dtabharfaidh Rialtas na Breataine an reachtaíocht chultúir agus teanga isteach i Westminster i mí Dheireadh Fómhair mura ndéanfar i Stormont é roimhe sin. Chuir baill shinsearacha den DUP a míshástacht leis an margadh in iúl do Poots agus bhí fearg orthu gur lean sé leis. Bhí cruinniú ag an bpáirtí i mBéal Feirste oíche Dé hAoine chun an easaontú a phlé agus nuair a d'fhág Poots an cruinniú, d'fhógair sé a eirí as. Fanfaidh Poots sa phost go dtí go dtoghfar a chomharba. Ón Aoine, beidh gach duine i Sasana os cionn ocht mbliana déag d'aois in ann a gcéad dáileog de vacsaín i gcoinne Covid-19 a fháil. Tharla leathnú aoise don vacsaín tar éis nuacht go bhfuil an chéad dáileog ag ceathrar as cúigear daoine fásta sa Ríocht Aontaithe, sé mhí ó tugadh an chéad vacsaín neamh-trialach. Ní ba luaithe sa tseachtain d'fhógair Boris Johnson go gcuirfear siar oscailt na tíre ón 21ú de mhí an Mheithimh go dtí an 19ú de mhí Iúil. Tá an NHS ag iarraidh an vacsaín a ofráil do gach duine fásta roimh an dáta nua. In Éirinn beidh an vacsaín ar fáil do dhaoine idir 35 agus 39 bliana d'aois ón Domhnach. Fuair Kenneth Kaunda, uachtarán bunaidh na Saimbia, bás ar an Aoine ag aois nócha a seacht. Tá cáil ag Kaunda mar laoch frith-choilíneach agus gníomhaí VEID/SEIF san Aifric. Bhí cáil ar Kaunda as a chumas leithleach cainte agus as a mhodh síochánta sa troid ar son neamhspleachas na Saimbia ón Ríocht Aontaithe. Nuair a bhuaigh sé neamhspleachas don tír i 1964, rialaigh sé mar uachtarán ar feadh seacht mbliana is fiche. Bhí conspóid ag baint leis níos déanaí sa rialtas nuair a chuir sé toirmeasc ar an bhfreasúra, agus thit sé as cumhacht. Tar éis a ghníomhréime polaitiúla, ghníomhaigh Kaunda in aghaidh VEID/SEIF trasna na hAifrice, i ndiaidh bhás a mhic ón ngalar. Fiú ina sheanaois lean sé ag caint amach in aghaidh éagóra agus cos ar bolg agus in ainneoin na conspóide ag baint leis, le haghaidh sin a chuimhneofar é. Beidh tréimhse bróin trí seachtaine ar a shon sa tSaimbia. * Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain. Tá an script ar fáil i d'aip phodchraolta. * GLUAIS tromlach - majority feidhmeannas - executive leathnú - widening neamh-trialach - non-trial frith-choilíneach - anti-colonial cos or bolg - oppression

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/yzsujf59 Edwin Poots resigns as leader of the DUP. Edwin Poots éirithe as mar cheannaire an DUP. Edwin Poots has resigned as leader of the DUP tonight after the majority of party members opposed his decision to nominate a First Minister despite their dissatisfaction with the British Government's decision to introduce an Irish Language Act in the North. Tá Edwin Poots éirithe as mar cheannaire an DUP anocht tar éis d'fhormhór fheisirí an pháirtí cur in aghaidh a chinnidh Céad-Aire a ainmniú ainneoin a gcuid míshástachta faoi chinneadh Rialtas na Breataine Acht Gaeilge a thabhairt isteach sa Tuaisceart. In a statement tonight, Edwin Poots said he had asked the DUP chairman to set up an election process for a new leader. I ráiteas anocht, dúirt Edwin Poots go raibh iarrtha aige ar chathaoirleach an DUP próiseas toghchánaíochta do cheannaire nua a chur ar bun. He also confirmed that the DUP had asked him to remain a leader or a successor would be elected. Dhearbhaigh sé chomh maith gur iarr an DUP air fanacht ina cheannaire nó go dtoghfar comharba. At a meeting this morning, a majority of DUP assembly and parliamentary members expressed dissatisfaction with the party leader's approach. Ag cruinniu ar maidin, chuir formhór fheisirí comhthionóil agus parlaiminte an DUP a míshástacht in iúl faoi chur chuige cheannaire an pháirtí. It is reported that 24 of the 28 assembly members and seven of the eight parliamentarians voted at the meeting against the proposed Edwin Poots. Tuairiscítear gur vótáil 24 den 28 feisire comhthionóil agus seachtar den ochtar feisire parlaiminte ag an gcrunniú in aghaidh a raibh beartaithe ag Edwin Poots. They seem to believe that Edwin Poots - by default anyway - accepted the British Government 's decision last night to pass an Irish Language Act in Westminster if it was not passed in Stormont by the end of September. Dealraíonn sé go gcreideann siad gur ghlac Edwin Poots - trí mhainneachtain ar aon chuma - le cinneadh Rialtas na Breataine a fógraíodh go deireanach aréir Acht Gaeilge a rith i Westminster mura rithfí é i Stormont faoi dheireadh Mheán Fómhair. According to the act, the Irish language would have official status in the North in future and a wide range of public services would be provided in the language. De réir an achta, bheadh stádas oifigiúil ag an nGaeilge sa Tuaisceart feasta agus chuirfí raon leathan seirbhísí poiblí ar fáil sa teanga. While Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald welcomed the British Government's decision, she suggested that the DUP might in the meantime make another attempt to veto the Irish Language Act in the meantime. Cé gur fháiltigh ceannaire Shinn Féin Mary Lou McDonald roimh chinneadh Rialtas na Breataine, thug sí le fios go mb'fhéidir go ndéanfadh an DUP iarracht eile fós idir dhá linn an tAcht Gaeilge a chrosadh.

Vincent Kearney, Northern Editor, on the resignation of Edwin Poots as leader of the DUP, following a tumultuous 24 hours in Northern Irish politics.

We get reaction to a dramatic twenty-four hours in Northern Irish politics

Joe Brolly was Kieran's guest on Friday, the afternoon following the resignation of Edwin Poots as the leader of the Democratic Unionist Party. He contended that this is the continuation of the end of the party in a modern Northern Ireland.

Northern Ireland is facing a new period of political instability after DUP leader Edwin Poots announced his resignation after just 21 days in the job. The move followed an internal party revolt after a deal between Sinn Féin and the British government on Irish language legislation. Our Northern Editor Vincent Kearney has the latest.

This week on Playback. Nasty, Brutish and short – Edwin Poots resigns as DUP leader after only 21 days. We get jiggy with pigeons and slugs. And the latest on Covid – it's good news – honest. All on Playback presented by Sinéad Mooney.

In a political upset the Liberal Democrats have won the by-election in Chesham and Amersham in a massive poll swing from the Tories. And in other political the new DUP leader Edwin Poots has resigned, leaving his party to figure out what to do next. To dissect what happened, Cindy Yu is joined by James Forsyth and Katy Balls. 

An incredible 24 hours. This is how the drama played out.

What does it mean for the future of devolution?

Acht Gaeilge le tabhairt isteach ó thuaidh san Fhómhar. It has been confirmed that the British Government will introduce an Irish Language Act in the North if the legislation is not passed in Stormont by the end of September. Tá sé deimhnithe go dtabharfaidh Rialtas na Breataine Acht Gaeilge isteach sa Tuaisceart mura rithfear an reachtaíocht i Stormont faoi dheireadh Mheán Fómhair. The British Government announced the decision shortly after midnight last night. D'fhógair Rialtas na Breataine an cinneadh go gairid tar éis meánoíche aréir. According to the act, the Irish language will have official status in the North in the future. De réir an achta, beidh stádas oifigiúil ag an nGaeilge sa Tuaisceart feasta. A wide range of public services will be provided in Irish, education through Irish will be promoted and bilingual signage will be provided throughout the North. Cuirfear raon leathan seirbhísí poiblí ar fáil i nGaeilge, cuirfear oideachas trí Ghaeilge chun cinn agus cuirfear comharthaíocht dhátheangach ar fáil ar fud an Tuaiscirt. It is understood that the appointment of an Irish Language Commissioner, as well as an Ulster-Scots Commissioner, will begin in October. Tuigtear go gcuirfear tús le Coimisinéir Gaeilge, chomh maith le Coimisinéir Ultaise, a cheapadh i mí Dheireadh Fomhair. Although the political parties in the North agreed in January last year to introduce an Irish Language Act, the DUP was not willing to accept it afterwards. Cé gur aontaigh páirtithe polaitíochta an Tuaiscirt i mí Eanáir anuraidh Acht Gaeilge a thabhairt isteach, ní raibh an DUP sásta glacadh leis ina dhiaidh sin. Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald said the news announced last night was a great turn for Irish speakers. Dúirt ceannaire Shinn Féin Mary Lou McDonald gur cor iontach é do lucht na Gaeilge an scéala a fógraíodh aréir. Sinn Féin, she claimed, overcame the DUP's backlash. D'éirigh le Sinn Féin, a mhaígh sí, bacóireacht an DUP a shárú. There was a danger that the Stormont executive would be fired if an agreement was not reached before next Monday. Bhí an baol ann go scoirfí feidhmeannas Stormont mura dtiocfaí ar chomhaontú roimh Dé Luain seo chugainn. In light of the new arrangement, Sinn Féin will accept the nomination of Paul Givan of the DUP as First Minister and will re-nominate Michelle O'Neill as Deputy First Minister. I bhfianaise an tsocraithe nua, glacfaidh Sinn Féin le hainmniúchán Paul Givan ón DUP mar Chéad-Aire agus ainmneoidh siad féin Michelle O'Neill arís mar LeasChéad-Aire. The nominations are expected to be made later today. Meastar go ndéanfar na hainmniúcháin níos deireanaí inniu. Northern Secretary of State Brandon Lewis said he was pleased the two parties had reached an agreement DUP leader Edwin Poots said it was never the party's business to lay down strict rules on decentralization of power. Dúirt Stát-Rúnaí an Tuaiscirt Brandon Lewis go raibh sé sásta gur tháinig an dá pháirtí ar chomhaontú Thug ceannaire an DUP Edwin Poots le fios nárbh é gnó an pháirtí sin riamh rialacha dochta daingeana a leagan síos maidir le dílárú na cumhachta. Health, education and the economy are far more important than the art of political parties, he said. Tá cúrsaí sláinte, cúrsaí oideachais agus an eacnamíocht i bhfad níos tábhachtaí ná an ealaíon a bhíonn ar bun ag páirtithe polaitíochta, a dúirt sé. However, Edwin Poosts has not confirmed whether the language legislation will be passed in Stormont or Westminster in the Autumn. Mar sin féin, níor dheimhnigh Edwin Poosts pé acu i Stormont nó i Westminster a rithfear an reachtaíocht teanga san Fhómhar. Taoiseach Micheál Martin has welcomed the arrangement. Tá fáilte curtha ag an Taoiseach Micheál Martin roimh an socrú.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/yjyxqkga "No more proximity in talks on an Irish Language Act" - SF. "Gan aon ghar níos mó i gcainteanna faoi Acht Gaeilge" - SF. Northern Finance Minister Conor Murphy of Sinn Féin has said the party will not nominate a Deputy Prime Minister unless language legislation is introduced within the timescale agreed by all key northern parties in January last year. Dúirt Aire Airgeadais an Tuaiscirt, Conor Murphy ó Shinn Féin, nach n- ainmneoidh an páirtí LeasChead-Aire mura dtabharfar reachtaíocht teanga isteach taobh istigh den achar ama a d'aontaigh na príomhpháirtithe ar fad ó thuaidh i mí Eanáir anuraidh. It is true for Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald, he said, that talks with the DUP are no longer good as that party has no intention of living up to their promises. Is fíor do cheannaire Shinn Féin Mary Lou McDonald, a dúirt sé, nach bhfuil aon mhaith a thuilleadh i gcainteanna leis an DUP mar nach bhfuil rún ar bith ag an bpáirtí sin a ngealltanais a chomhlíonadh. Last night, Mary Lou McDonald indicated that a few weeks ago the British Government had proposed passing an Irish Language Act in Westminster but that Sinn Féin had responded at the time that the party preferred the legislation to be introduced in Stormont. Aréir, thug Mary Lou McDonald le fios gur thairg Rialtas na Breataine roinnt seachtainí ó shin Acht Gaeilge a rith i Westminster ach gur fhreagair Sinn Féin ag an am gurbh fhearr leis an bpáirtí gur i Stormont a a thabharfaí an reachtaíocht isteach. She said it was now clear, however, that talks with the DUP are no longer close. Dúirt sí gur léir anois, áfach, nach bhfuil gar níos mó i gcainteanna leis an DUP faoin gceist. Conversely, Sammy Wilson of the DUP pointed out that the British Government should not accede to a request from Sinn Féin and the introduction of Irish language legislation in the North regardless of the decentralized government in Stormont. Os a choinne sin, thug Sammy Wilson ón DUP le fios nár chóir do Rialtas na Breataine géilleadh d'iarratas ó Shinn Féin agus reachtaíocht Gaeilge a thabhairt isteach sa Tuaisceart gan spleáchas don rialtas díláraithe i Stormont. Sammy Wilson said the decentralization of power in the north was undermined the last time the British Government introduced legislation regardless of politicians. Dúirt Sammy Wilson gur baineadh an bonn de dhílárú na cumhachta ó thuaidh an uair dheireanach a thug Rialtas na Breataine reachtaíocht isteach beag beann ar pholaiteoirí. He was commenting on the abortion legislation introduced in the North in October 2019, at a time when the decentralized government in Stormont was not functioning. Ag trácht a bhí sé ar an reachtaíocht maidir le ginmhilleadh a tugadh isteach sa Tuaisceart i mí Dheireadh Fómhair 2019, tráth nach raibh an rialtas díláraithe i Stormont ag feidhmiú. Following the resignation of Arlene Foster as First Minister of the North yesterday, the DUP and Sinn Féin have a week to reach a new agreement and re- enter into a coalition government. Tar éis do Arlene Foster éirí as mar Chéad-Aire an Tuaiscirt inné, tá seachtain ag an DUP agus Sinn Féin le teacht ar chomhaontú úr agus dul i mbun comhrialtais le chéile arís. While Paul Givan has been nominated as First Minister by new DUP leader Edwin Poots, Sinn Fein must accept his nomination and nominate a Deputy First Minister themselves. Cé go bhfuil Paul Givan ainmnithe mar Chéad-Aire ag ceannaire nua an DUP Edwin Poots, ní mór do Shinn Fein glacadh lena ainmniúchán agus LeasChéad-Aire a ainmniú iad féin. If both parties fail to bargain, the Stormont Executive will be dissolved and the Secretary of State for the North will have to call an assembly election. Mura n-éireoidh leis an dá pháirtí margadh a dhéanamh, scoirfear Feidhmeannas Stormont agus beidh ar Stát- Rúnaí an Tuaiscirt toghchán comhthionóil a ghairm.

Plus, DUP leader Edwin Poots ducks commitment to Irish language law.

In Northern Ireland, Unionism has been in an unhappy place since the turn of the year, when the Northern Ireland protocol, the part of the the Brexit deal that creates a customs border in the Irish Sea, was implemented. Now Unionism's main party, the Democratic Unionist Party, is in political turmoil after a change in leadership left many of its membership angry and alienated. With an election less than a year away, and with a real possibility of Sinn Féin becoming the largest party at that election, can the DUP under new leader Edwin Poots come together to save the Union - or do its problems run too deep?

Alex Kane, Political Columnist and Commentator, on Edwin Poots being formally ratified as leader of the DUP last night.

Mike Indian looks at the explosive claims made by Dominic Cummings, asking what his testimony tells us about the Prime Minister and the Government – and what it tells us about Cummings himself.

And he looks at Northern Ireland politics now that Edwin Poots has taken over the leadership of the DUP. Hrkn to www.shareradio.co.uk for more .. Learn more about your ad choices.

The EU Commission President has rejected attempts to change the Northern Ireland Protocol, blaming the problems with it on Brexit rather than Brussels. Simon Hoare, Conservative MP for North Dorset and chair of the Northern Ireland affairs committee, tells Bloomberg Westminster's Caroline Hepker and Roger Hearing he is disappointed with the commission response. Hoare also says the new DUP leader Edwin Poots is likely to be more flexible in negotiations on this issue than he appeared to be in the leadership campaign. Plus Andrew Wilson, professor of East European Studies at University College London and author of Belarus: The Last European Dictatorship joins to discuss the results of EU pressure over the Ryanair plane incident - saying the coerced confession of the detained journalist is a "hostage video".

The latest LucidTalk poll suggests support for the DUP has halved in 18 months. Who are going to be the major beneficiaries and can Edwin Poots right the ship? Frank spoke to lead pollster Bill White and David McCann See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Edwin Poots has been named as the new leader of the Democratic Unionist Party. A farmer from the outskirts of Lisburn, not far from Belfast. Mr Poots entered political life in 1997 - and, since then, he's slowly but steadily risen to the top. He's held four Ministeries including health and agriculture and is viewed across the sectarian divide as a shrewd political strategist. A devoutly religious and committed member of the Free Presbyterian church, Mr Poots's ultra-conservative views on issues such as abortion and gay marriage have attracted heavy criticism over the years, as has his strongly held belief that the earth is approx. 6,000 years old. His supporters, however, insist that his personal beliefs have no bearing on his ability to do his job - and to lead the DUP into a new era. Via in-depth interviews with family, close personal friends and political commentators, Becky Milligan reveals the character behind the caricature sketched by media, the real person behind the public persona of Edwin Poots.

The EU says aligned food standards could solve 80% of NI Protocol friction. The UK calls for equivalence. Deputy Foreign Editor Colm Ó Mongáin & Europe Editor Tony Connelly look at the stalemate & at claims the protocol is blocking access to cancer drugs in NI. Also: Northern Editor Vincent Kearney's full interview with new DUP leader Edwin Poots.

In all the dozens of podcast interviews broadcast by the Holywell Trust, one idea to strengthen our society has been put forward repeatedly – citizens’ assemblies. They are not universally popular – both DUP and Conservative Party politicians have expressed concerns they would undermine the link between elected representatives and their constituents, threatening politicians’ legitimacy. But the experience of Ireland’s citizens’ assemblies has inspired many. Assemblies provided routes to resolving politically challenging issues: same sex marriage, abortion, climate change and, now, gender inequality. And in Northern Ireland we seem bound into a future programme of the assemblies given that New Decade New Approach commits to at least one per year, possibly more, and incoming DUP leader Edwin Poots has promised that all of the NDNA will be implemented. The principle behind citizens’ assemblies is that a randomised selection of the population, representative of the population, comes together to consider in detail a policy challenge. Members will be informed by experts and then deliberate carefully, before reaching their conclusions. The format has not only produced intelligent and careful proposals, but has been trusted by the wider population to be fair and balanced. In the latest Holywell Trust Forward Together podcast, Jane Suiter of Dublin City University provides her expert view of how citizens’ assemblies work and their strengths and weaknesses. She is one of the people most closely involved in Ireland’s citizens’ assemblies. Jane is not only professor of communications at DCU and director of its Institute for Future Media, Democracy and Society, but she is also senior research fellow with Ireland’s citizens’ assembly on gender equality, having been intimately involved with citizens’ assemblies and other forms of deliberative democracy for more than a decade. The Holywell Trust Forward Together podcasts are funded by the Community Relations Council’s Media Grant Scheme.   Disclaimer: This project has received support from the Northern Ireland Community Relations Council which aims to promote a pluralist society characterised by equity, respect for diversity, and recognition of interdependence.

Extended interview with new DUP leader Edwin Poots

De Europa Podcast is lichtjes aangepast, met wat nieuwe rubrieken, buitenlandse stemmen tierelantijntjes. Podcast under construction, zie het als het coronapaspoort of de vrede in Noord-Ierland. Tips zijn immer welkom op ons mailadres de wereld at bnr punt nl. Het was ook een week waarin.... ...Viktor Orban officieel een uitdager kreeg voor de Hongaarse parlementsverkiezingen. Waarin na 16 maanden de buitengrenzen van de Europese Unie weer voor 'open' werden verklaard, zij het voor volledig gevaccineerden. Waarin de Europese Unie een oproep wilde doen tot een staakt-het-vuren tussen het Israëlische leger en Hamas maar één lidstaten dat standpunt niet wilde steunen. En waarin een meerderheid in de Tweede Kamer pleitte voor gratis PCR-testen plus reisverklaringen om deze zomer de grens over te mogen. Dossier coronapaspoort Of het nou coronapaspoort, vaccinatiebewijs, coronacertificaat, Digital Green Certificate of EU Covid Pass heet: BNR's Eurocommissarissen Hahn en De Vries zitten inmiddels diep in dit dossier. Hahn en De Vries geven je de laatste ins en outs rondom dit heikele dossier, dat juist deze week doorsuddert in de Brusselse snelkookpan en in de diverse Europese regeringssteden. Volgende week, dan moet het eigenlijk een hamerstuk zijn... De uitkomst van de laatste onderhandelingen is op moment van opname nog ongewis. Hahn en De Vries schetsen echter graag hoe het achter de schermen knettert. In Transitie Veel aandacht ook in deze aflevering voor het Just Transition Fund. Een relatief klein miljardenfonds binnen de Groene Deal van Frans Timmermans. Het aannemen ervan deze week in Brussel zorgde echter voor nieuwe inzichten op het gebied van subsidieverstrekking. En de nieuwe leider van de Noord-Ierse unionisten heet Edwin Poots. Hij wil de DUP weer richting conservatievere vaarwateren sturen. Zijn eerste zorgen zijn echter het verenigingen van zijn achterban om vervolgens Boris Johnson in de pan te hakken met het Noord-Ierse Protocol. Een profielschets, met verwijzingen naar onder andere: Dit interview van Poots met RTE. Een boeiend portret van Patrick van IJzendoorn voor De Volkskrant.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall. * Inniu an cúigiú lá déag de mhí na Bealtaine. Is mise Niall Ó Siadhail. Fógraíodh i dtuarascáil chróinéara Dé Máirt go raibh deichniúir íospartach sléachta i mBaile Uí Mhurchú i mBéal Feirste in 1971 go hiomlán neamhchiontach agus níorbh iad aon bhagairt ar na saighdiúirí a dhúnmharaigh iad. Tháinig an breithiúnas seo i ndiaidh feachtas fada chun ainmneacha na n-íospartach a ghlanadh. Cáineadh príomh-aire na Ríochta Aontaithe Boris Johnson mar níor ghabh sé leithscéal poiblí as an choir. Agus idir an dá linn sa Tuaisceart, ceapadh Edwin Poots mar cheannaire ar an Pháirtí Aontachtach Daonlathach, sa chéad toghchán ceannaireachta a bhí acu riamh. Chuaigh an ghéarchéim sa Mheánoirthear in olcas inné nuair a bhí ar dhaoine i dtuaisceart Gaza a mbaile a thréigean roimh ionsaithe ón aer, ón fharraige agus ón talamh a rinne Fórsaí Cosanta Iosrael. Tá níos mó ná 120 duine marbh san fhoréigean, 31 páiste ina measc. Thosaigh an ghéarchéim sa cheantar Sheikh Jarrah in Iarúisailéim Thoir, áit a bhfuil grúpaí Giúdacha ag iarraidh Palaistínigh a chur amach. Tá imní ann go dtarlóidh an foréigean is measa ó bhí 2014 ann. Tá séasúr Chumann Lúthchleas Gael linn arís. Cuirfear tús leis an tSraith Náisiúnta Peile an deireadh seachtaine seo. Mar gheall ar an phaindéim scarfar na ranna ina dhá leath i mbliana, tuaisceart agus deisceart, amhail Leath Cuinn agus Leath Moga fadó. Imreoidh Dún na nGall in aghaidh Thír Eoghain san Ómaigh, agus Gaillimh in aghaidh Ciarraí i dTrá Lí sna chéad chluichí Dé Sathairn.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/yh6xsa96 Arlene Foster to resign as First Minister of the North. Arlene Foster le héirí as mar Chéad-Aire an Tuaiscirt. Arlene Foster has announced her resignation as leader of the DUP and First Minister of the North. Tá sé fógartha ag Arlene Foster go bhfuil sí le héirí as mar cheannaire ar an DUP agus mar Chéad-Aire an Tuaiscirt. In a statement, she said she will step down as leader of the DUP on May 28 and as First Minister at the end of June. I ráiteas, dúirt sí go n-éireoidh sí as mar cheannaire ar an DUP ar an 28 Bealtaine agus mar Chéad-Aire ag deireadh mhí an Mheithimh. Arlene Foster said it is important to "give people" space in the next few weeks to make arrangements to elect a new leader. Dúirt Arlene Foster go bhfuil sé tábhachtach "spás a thabhairt" do dhaoine as seo go ceann roinnt seachtainí socruithe a dhéanamh faoi cheannaire nua a thoghadh. Her decision is thought to be related to efforts that have been going on for a few days by some senior members of the DUP to persuade her to step down from the leadership of the party. Meastar go mbaineann a cinneadh le hiarrachtaí atá ar bun le cúpla lá ag roinnt comhaltaí sinsearacha den DUP áitiú uirthi éirí as ceannaireacht an pháirtí. It is understood that 22 out of 28 assembly members and four out of the party's eight Westminster MPs signed a letter stating that they did not trust her or deputy leader Nigel Dodds. Tuigtear gur chuir 22 feisire comhthionóil as 28 agus ceathrar feisirí Westminster as an ochtar atá ag an bpairtí a n-ainmneacha le litir inar dúradh nach raibh muinín acu aisti ná as an leascheannaire Nigel Dodds. Earlier today, a meeting of the North / South Ministerial Council was canceled this morning due to the absence of Stormont Agriculture Minister Edwin Poots from the DUP. Níos túisce inniu, cuireadh cruinniú den Chomhairle Aireachta Thuaidh/ Theas ar ceal ar maidin mar nach raibh Aire Talmhaíochta Stormont Edwin Poots ón DUP i láthair. Edwin Poots is believed to be among the candidates for the DUP leadership and the post of First Minister. Creidtear go mbeidh Edwin Poots i measc na n-iarrthóirí do cheannaireacht an DUP agus don phost mar Chéad-Aire. He has often expressed his dissatisfaction with the Northern Protocol. Tá a mhíshásamh faoi Phrótacal an Tuaiscirt curtha in iúl go minic aige.

The South Down politician also outlined why he wants Edwin Poots to replace her as leader of the party See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
