And british media reporting that a deal has been breached of the significant stumbling block in bracks it talks if true the agreement would ensure that there is no hard border between Northern Ireland which is part of the u. K. And the republic of ireland which is not britains Prime Minister teresa mayes in brussels for a day of talks on the countrys exit from the European Union there had been worries that the reimposition of border controls on the island of ireland would threaten the good friday agreement which sealed the peace after decades of Armed Conflict european negotiators have that refused to discuss britains future trading relationship with the block until that issue was settled. So whos agreed to walk in how is that going to go down lets get more from d. W. Correspondents gheorghiu matters in brussels and burke at mass in london welcome both lets start with you gay org whos agreed to what. Official confirmation rather scarce here in brussels at the moment theres a number of indicators that there seems to be a compromise here and a deal in the making but these are not officially confirmed so for instance the Irish Foreign minister has said that the irish Prime Minister is about to give a positive statement hinting that there is progress on the question of a hard border of voiding a hard border but that it has been postponed and the reason for that seems to be that the head of the European Council donald tusk hasnt been able to step forward and that means they are still talking about the key sticking points in this whole process to move forward to face number two well lets lets start with this potential agreement on an island to go to mass in london burkett threesome a parliamentary majority depends on support from Northern Irelands d u p they have said they will not back any deal that treats Northern Ireland differently to the rest of the u. K. So this is going to be a tough sell. This is not going to be easy because you have to remember the did the u. P. The union is they want to stay close to the u. K. For them this is the border that matters they dont want any hard border between arlen Northern Ireland and the u. K. They also want to have the good friday agreement they want to have that continued but for them its really most important that they want to stay close to the u. K. And they have come forward and they have been very very skeptical of of this deal its not as gags had been confirmed yet but they dont want any special status for Northern Ireland so this deal if it is confirmed its also going to cause to reset my problems with scotland the countrys the nations first minister nicholas sturgeon has already been tweeting she says if one part of the u. K. Can retain regulator the alignment with e. U. And effectively stay in the Single Market which is the right solution for Northern Ireland there is surely no good practical reason why others a can the whole thing is starting to unravel burkett even before the deal was actually done. Well yes its all about Northern Ireland and its special status it was suggested that the Northern Ireland could retain effectively a membership of the Single Market and the Customs Union in order to make trade between the republic of ireland which is so crucial for the republic and Northern Ireland continued to be seamless as it is now but if this is to be the case other parts of the United Kingdom might want to have the same and you mentioned scotland as also london for example the london mayor has suggested that london should have a special status so whats going to happen how is this going to play out with in the union this is going to be very very very tricky indeed go back to us in brussels despite the question marks over this deal there seems to be a sense of momentum now to the negotiations last week the two sides were talking about getting close to to a deal on the brakes a divorce bill now there seems to be Movement Regarding the Northern Ireland to border who or what has changed whereas always agreements suddenly sprung from. Of course part of part of the answer has to be that britain faces a cliff at each at the end of this process in the beginning of two thousand and nineteen they would crash out of the you unless they can strike a deal now for them it is therefore a crucial to reach face number two and start these trade talks to prepare for a future relationship and two things we should bear in mind here is number one to get from phase one to face to all human mistakes have to agree and it is now the republic of ireland that has played hardball here and said we want assurances we want safeguards that there is no hard border and the e. U. s made clear we back island if island is not happy were not happy and the other main reason of course is that the e. U. s set the u. K. A deadline for the brakes a bill unless you move the message was we cant move on to a second phase and. Time is of the essence here really because trade deals are not made in a fortnight but they take a year sometimes and theres not a lot of time left until the beginning of two thousand and nineteen when the u. K. Would crash out without a trade deal let us in brussels burg at mass in london thank you but now police in multiple have arrested ten people in connection with a car bomb that killed a journalist on the island in october definitely couldnt cut a anya was one of the countrys leading investigative journalists whose reporting focused heavily on corruption the suspects are described as maltese nationals most of whom have criminal records investigators now have forty eight hours to question them and decide whether to seek charges against them.
