Lord frost has been talking about the government seeking changes to the government seeking changes to the Trading Arrangements between britain and Northern Ireland under the Eu Brexit deal. Lord frost saying there is nothing wrong with seeking changes to the Brexit Deal because some sections relating to Northern Ireland are not working. He said we have all learned from experience and it is clear we know what is working and what is not. We believe the best way to resolve the situation is try to negotiate changes. We dont see whats wrong with that. Anyone would think it was a highly unusual thing to renegotiate a treaty. It is not, said Lord Frost. And the leader of the Northern Ireland democratic unionists has welcomed that an welcomed british demands for an overhaul of the Eu Exit deal as a significant first step. It must be followed, said the dup, with a proper renegotiation. Lets listen to what Lord Frost has been saying. The issue of people in Northern Ireland is raised, of course the protocol itself requires there to be no impact on minimised impact on the everyday lives of people in Northern Ireland. The facts of that is not being observed is one of the major problems with the current situation and that is why we wish to see if we can resolve it in a negotiated way. The issue of the agreement is raised. We have made clear what opposition is on that, it is an agreement by equivalents that can solve the problems, but what we are proposing in this paper is something more fundamental. It is dealing with the fundamentals of the difficulties rather than the problems and there is a proposal for a rather than the problems and there is a proposalfor a regulatory rather than the problems and there is a proposal for a regulatory zone with appropriate processes backing it up and one of those could be an agreement which will resolve these issues in a more fundamental way. More now on our main story. The Home Secretary, priti patel, has insisted the uk will continue to work with france on schemes to try to cut the number of migrants attempting to cross the channel. It comes as the number of migrants arriving in small boats this year has now surpassed the total for the whole of 2020. A total of 8,161 people have now made the dangerous journey to the uk by small boat. France is to double the number of police patrolling its beaches, as part of an agreement with britain aimed at stemming the flow. The uk will pay a further £54 million to support the french efforts. When questioned by mps the Home Secretary said the government was introducting a bill to deter the people traffickers. What we are seeing right now effectively, people trafficking, smugglers, criminal gangs exploiting our Asylum System to bring in economic migrants and people that quite frankly, are circumventing our legal migration routes to come into our country illegally and this is difficult, there are difficult reforms here. But the bill has a set of comprehensive measures that look at the entire system from an end to end perspective, from a legal migration to clandestinely entry, to economic migrants masquerading as asylum seekers. The Home Secretary also said that discussions with france and other eu countries are ongoing to try and tackle the problem, which she said had increased considerably. There are millions of people on the move. This isntjust an issue for the united kingdom, this is an issue for European Countries as well. We have formal, pre existing readmissions agreements with both Switzerland And Bulgaria and romania and we continue to process returns on those bassists. So there is a significant amount of work taking place and returns agreements. Finally, just in relation to france, in discussions with my counterpart last night that there is a recognition with france, that there is more that we need to do together to do much more collaborative when it comes to returns. France is rolling out new rules on accessing public places, in a bid to curb what it says is a fourth wave of covid infections. Only those with proof of vaccination, immunity or a negative Covid Test will be able to visit most museums, cinemas and theme parks. It comes the day after the Health Minister announced 18,000 new infections in just 2a hours. This was compared to fewer than 7,000 cases a day last week. France now has a surge of 150 , as the highly contagious Delta Variant spreads throughout the country. 0ur Correspondent Hugh Schofield is outside the louvre he explained how things have changed there. Wednesday morning, it has just opened and you can see the lines of people all going smoothly. But for the first time, these people will have to have with them, their health task, the covid pass. Itll mainly be on peoples mobile phones, and its a sign that you had either a full vaccination or that you had a recent, negative test, or you recovered recently from covid, and an id card, so that its not a fake pass, so that you can go in. If they dont have that, people are being turned away and they asked to go round the corner to a chemist where they can pick up a Covid Test pretty quickly. It is the same for galleries, museums, theatres, gyms and cinemas. You have to have a pass and cinemas. You have to have a pass and it will be more stringent because ten days from now the rule will be extended to bars, cafes and restaurants and from the beginning of august, there will be a lot of things in france he will not be able to do unless you have a pass. How is the public accepting it . Poll suggests the majority do accept it and believe, let the government said it is an important way to fight the wave which is breaking over france, the fourth wave of the Delta Variant. Also an important way of incentivising people to get vaccinated. But they are as a minority, strong minority that is very angry about this. They are either anti vax is all they are saying the government is wrong to create this division in society between those who have the vaccination and those who havent got the vaccination and expect people to police each other. Because thatis people to police each other. Because that is what the government is asking people to do, in museums are cafes, staff have to check up on people. There are those in france who believe this is completely wrong. The headlines on Bbc News.

There were five of them. I was very surprised. I saw a bird that was meant to be extinct. Hed seen the cerulean paradise flycatcher, a bird only found here in sangihe and considered extinct for decades. Its Island Home is rich in gold and now a canadian company has a permit to mine for it. Their concession covers more than half the island. They insist the mine doesnt threaten the unique environment. We basically are under very strict environmental guidelines. It took a long time to get an environmental permit and they dont just hand it to you im a canadian company. Canadians are kind of freaky about the environment. So, i, as a ceo, would be basically extremely stupid to do anything that would cause issue. So what kind of money are you expecting to make from this Gold Mine . Millions and millions and millions of dollars he chuckles. Once we get rolling, we hope to, basically, within a few years, be extracting thousands of ounces a month. The company says 5,000 jobs will be created. But not everyone is convinced. The group save Sangihe Island is demanding the permit to be revoked. Translation we will lose ourjobs and it. Will destroy our childrens futures. The mine will mean families will not be able to farm their land. And fishermen will not be able to catch fish. I because the sea will be polluted. The Islands Deputy Regent was a vocal critic of the mine. He died on the 9th Ofjune and locals say his death hangs over the island. Its future uncertain.
