the dreadful weather we had today in belfast but it was symbolic of low expectations of this visit. why are they low, one simple reason is there is no power sharing executive at stormont. that means there will be no big plenary session between the president and the five main parties here in the northern ireland assembly tomorrow, he will meet the individual leaders but make them one on one after he speaks at a different location so this president is treading very carefully because the dup, it is up to them to decide if they go back into power sharing and they regard him as overly sympathetic to nationalists. while there is some hope in the government that the dup will go back in, they were encouraged byjeffrey donaldson the other day, chris heaton harris said at the weekend he thinks that a deal can be done but this party is divided so no one is making any assumptions about what they might
than we did in the troubles, and we need to look at, you know, diversity, the change in demographics. ending violence against women and girls, championing relationship and sex education, doing that work on the ground to make sure that everyone here can not only survive but thrive and live healthy, fulfilled lives. i mean, surely that s what peace is all about. the final person i m meeting on my tour of derry is student elliejo, at one of the city s newest tourist hotspots. northern ireland s been without an executive now for over a year. it s not the first time this has happened. what impact does that have on you and your friends and other young people? you know, i m only 18 years of age. i actually don t really know a functioning stormont. we only had it there for about two or three years before it actually broke down once again. i think when i actually look at my study in politics, what political leadership have i seen? what actual politics have i seen? and it s all been
acceptable for anyone, i don t know anyone who thinks that claim is a reasonable one. it is anyone who thinks that claim is a reasonable one. reasonable one. it is an opening ambit reasonable one. it is an opening gambit isn t reasonable one. it is an opening gambit isn t it? reasonable one. it is an opening gambit isn t it? i, reasonable one. it is an opening gambit isn t it? i, i do reasonable one. it is an opening gambit isn t it? i, i do not i reasonable one. it is an opening gambit isn t it? i, i do not know| gambit isn t it? i, i do not know the inside gambit isn t it? i, i do not know the inside story, gambit isn t it? i, i do not know the inside story, their gambit isn t it? i, i do not know the inside story, their exact i the inside story, their exact negotiation, what i can see is doctors who have very good pensions to look forward to, a lot ofjob security and compared to the rest of the public sector very high wages find, behaving like a trade union and not li
and other non striking staff, such as experienced consultants. are more likely to have booked days off. combining all of this is why there are predictions of 250,000 or more elective procedures and outpatient appointments impacted by this strike. that would be a larger disruption than the six days ofjunior doctor strikes in 2016. and recovering from those delays will add an extra pressure on already stretched services. for every day you lose, you have to get a day back. and there are nearly 1.5 million people referred into hospital for treatment every month. so losing the days that we are coming up to will probably take some months to catch back up, assuming there are no further strikes and that will require people to work harder and you know, quite a lot of extra effort. and that is one of the things i think is a worry because of course while the doctors are on strike, other people are taking the strain.
