Supporting the people of Northern Ireland, protecting the peace, preserving the belfast good friday agreement is a priority. Its regarded as the day that helped and decades of violence here during the 1970s, 80s and 90s. Reactions to it being signed were largely positive. For the generation to come, it will be fantastic, one of the greatest things in our history, anyway. Some were not convinced. I dont think we will ever see peace. Itll take something different. I have come to dromore, a town in county down, roughly 20 minutes outside of belfast, and is home to around 6000 people. Its also where i grew up and went to school. I was born in 1998, the year the good friday agreement was signed here in Northern Ireland. It means i grew up after the troubles ended and didnt have to worry as much as maybe my parents did, for example, about getting caught up in the conflict happening here. Me and others like me born after it was signed are known as peace babies and im keen to find out where

karin kneissl, the former austrian foreign minister who famously danced with putin at her own wedding in 2018. now, she lives in exile, forced out of austria, she says, by death threats. what does her story say about vienna s close ties to moscow and the impact of austria s neutrality? karin kneissl, in northern lebanon, welcome to hardtalk. thank you very much for your invitation, mr sackur. well, it s a pleasure to have you on the show. i think we have to start with this question about your location. you were a senior member of the austrian diplomatic political elite, until recently. now, you ve left your home country and you re in exile in lebanon. just explain to me why. well, when our government literally imploded in 2019, all i wanted was to continue my academic work and publishing, but i had to find out that there was not a single contract. furthermore, a lot of harassment, also the death threats. but the bigger problem, honestly, was this de facto prohibition to work,
they pulled off a remarkable 5 1victory at brighton, who themselves are chasing a european qualification place. the win moves sean dyche s side out of the relegation zone. it was a superb display of counterattacking football from everton who were 3 0 up after 35 minutes. dwight mcneil and abdoulaye doucoure each scored twice. it means everton are two points above the drop zone with three matches left to play. you got it wrong and sometimes people forget it s not like you got it wrong. it might still be the right tactic. but they have taken it on. they was very open minded to it. that s really pleasing, because that s the whole point of coaching, that s the whole point of managing. it is to have a format for them to work on and then go deliver it. so the players deserve a lot of credit tonight. they have taken that on. and not only taken it onon but take along with a plum. it s a very pleasing thing as a coach, and for the players of course. before this game, we were playing f
