Of the worlds youngest and most lavish cities, in the travel show at 8. 30 pm. Good evening and welcome to bbc news. The International Trade secretary liam fox has said there can be no final decision on irish border arrangements after brexit until the uk and the eu have reached an agreement on future trade. The comments come as the eu demands enough progress on issues including the border within the next few weeks, in order for talks to move on to the next phase. Irish officials have suggested that they might veto that, unless they have guarantees on how the border will work in future. Our Political Correspondent chris mason reports. Could this be the 310 mile Sticking Point that stops the brexit talks moving on . The border between Northern Ireland and the republic, what will soon be the frontier between the uk and the eu. Ireland insists it must remain open, and almost invisible after brexit, or it could block the negotiations progressing to discuss trade. But the government says until there is a discussion about the future, the border issue cant be resolved. We cant get a final answer to the irish question until we get an idea of the end state, and until we get into discussions with the eu on the end state, that will be very difficult. So the quicker we can do that, the better, and were still in the position where the eu doesnt want to do that. And were getting close now to 2018, when we will be talking about next year when we leave the european union. Theres long been irritation in government here that the eu wont let talks progress until sufficient progress has been made on money, Citizens Rights and the irish border. Both london and dublin agree that they dont want to see the return of a hard border, but neither side has yet publicly suggested a solution which both would be happy with. The government wants the uk to leave whats known as the Single Market and the Customs Union after brexit. Meaning, in broad terms, our economy and the eu economy would be governed by different rules. Some say that means itll be impossible not to have a more obvious border, and so. The way to stay the same on the island of ireland, as it is today, post brexit is for at least the uk to take their red line off the table. But to stay in the Customs Union and Single Market gives us what we have today, an invisible border, seamless trade, and it also will build and help us keep those relationships. Ministers here though insist that will not happen. Labour says the government needs to be willing to be more flexible. What this government has done is it has ruled out remaining a member of the Single Market or a member of the Customs Union. That is what they have said very clearly, that they are going to leave both of those institutions. We have not ruled those off the table. Weve said they are still options. Christmas is getting closer, but next months crunch eu summit is closer still. This is a delicate operation. All sides agree a unique solution is needed for the irish border. But they agree too that pulling that off is an incredibly tricky manoeuvre. Chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. 0ur ireland correspondent Chris Buckler described the frustrations growing on both sides of the border. The british and irish governments have always talked about the shared interests they have along with the shared border but the language is hardening, even today, eu commissionerfrom hardening, even today, eu commissioner from ireland saying that the country will use its veto to prevent talks moving on to trade u nless to prevent talks moving on to trade unless they get guarantees about the border. The republic of ireland has been dangling this idea that even if the rest of the uk was to leave the Customs Union and the Single Market, Northern Ireland could potentially stay in it. That is a solution that is completely unacceptable to the democratic unionists party, they say that in simple terms it would create a border between one part of the uk and another, a border down the irish sea, with new checks at ports. A very difficult situation, then, the dup Voice Matters on this. The minority government in ireland, they have their own problems at the moment, a political row is threatening to force a snap election but there is consensus across parties in dublin about this issue and they feel they will do all that they can to ensure there is no hard or physical border on this island. Lets get some insight into how trade might be affected by a change to the current arrangement. Im joined the trade lawyer anthony woolwich, a partner at the law firm hfw. Thank you very much for giving up your sunday night to be with us, how avoidable is a hard border of some sort between Northern Ireland and ireland, when the uk leads the Single Market and Customs Union. Ireland, when the uk leads the Single Market and Customs Unionm would be hard to avoid a border of some sort, the government has suggested that there could be solutions such as streamlining procedures, using technology, to facilitate movement. But, if there is going to be a border, if when leaving the Customs Union, and the republic of ireland, as part of the remain within it, there needs to be some way of controlling the flow of goods. How would a border, on literally the boundary between Northern Ireland and ireland, affect trade . It doesnt necessarily have to be on the border, there is talk of controls being inside Northern Ireland. Because of the sleeve the political ramifications of having a physical Border Security post on the border it self could be significant. But, inevitably, if you are going to have some sort of check s, there is the possibility of some friction a nyway the possibility of some friction anyway being introduced in trade between the republic of ireland and Northern Ireland and that could be difficult because there is a lot of trade which passes in both directions everyday. How different then would it be if the border were outside Northern Ireland, and you used the whole of the island of ireland north and south as a separate entity for trade. You would be talking about introducing a border between Northern Ireland and great britain, which, i think, border between Northern Ireland and great britain, which, ithink, the government has ruled that out already, and of course, politically, that would be very difficult for the dup to accept. What examples are there for lawyers to draw upon, to possibly use this as a template, to get around this . There is not a direct precedent, in cyprus, between Northern Cyprus and the republic of cyprus, there are special arrangements based on eu law but there are border checks between the two. And there are security posts. And similarly, between bosnia and croatia, another example, which the uk government has cited, there are border posts between the two. From a professional point of view, this must be a fascinating problem to have to come to terms with. It is very interesting, from a technical legal point of view but obviously, commercially, it is hugely important and politically it is hugely important. Thank you very much for joining us. Thank you very much.

Owners of drones could have to register and take Safety Awareness tests, as part of proposed new legislation. Police will also be given new powers to crack down on criminal use of the devices. But asjoe lynham reports the government is also keen to develop the technology. They could be one of the most coveted presents this christmas. Prices have come down and you can do a lot more with them. This potential customer says he would use one for Aerial Surveys and research. But he knows there needs to be more controls. Its all for safety, isnt it . We dont want drones crashing into planes and things like that. Safety concerns surrounding drones were highlighted in july, when Gatwick Airport had to close when a drone was flown under a plane about to land. There have been near misses at leeds bradford, cork and manchester airports since 2015. And to prevent drones getting too close, the proposed drone bill could mean that owners of drones weighing more than 250g will need to register and do a test. They will be banned from flying near airports, or higher than 120 metres, or 400 feet. And police will get new powers to seize unmanned aerial vehicles. But drones have a growing list of useful applications. This prototype can fly into water and propel itself back out. These drones can be used on oil rigs to fix cables in treacherous conditions. And they are the types of uses that the aviation minister wants to encourage. Weve looked at the drones today which can help in the construction industry, in the mining industry, an offshore oil rigs. And whats really exciting is that they can do the jobs that actually put people at risk, so hopefully it will help with safety as well. With the rising popularity of drones comes the issue of potential misuse by the public. This legislation could mean that new users wont be able to simply take it out of the box and start flying it straightaway. Joe lynam, bbc news.
