Its wednesday 16th august. Im rebecca jones. Welcome to bbc Newsroom Live. The government has said it does not want border posts between Northern Ireland and the republic after brexit. A document, published later today, will say ministers back a Seamless Border so people and goods can move freely. But critics maintain there are no credible details on how an open border could be maintained. In a moment we will talk to our ireland correspondent chris page, who is at the border. First To Westminster and our Political Correspondent ben wright. Tell us more about the proposals. This is the fourth formal Position Paper the government are sharing with eu negotiators. It is one of the key issues they want resolving, before talks can go much further and look at the future relationship between the eu and the uk. Both sites are aware of how potent and difficult decision will be. What to do in Terms Of Trade and goods and migration, along the only land border that will exist between the uk and eu after brexit. Both sides have strict aspirations about where they want is to end up. They dont wa nt they want is to end up. They dont want a hard ball. They want is to end up. They dont wanta hardball. They want is to end up. They dont want a hardball. Both sides have shared aspirations. They want to protect the Good Friday Agreement. James brokenshire has sketched out the kinds of things that the government is looking for and how they think they can be found. Todays paper makes it very clear that the uk government doesnt want to see any infrastructure, border posts, at the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic Of Ireland. Why does this matter . Because of the way that people live their lives. The whole issue of the politics and how much progress weve made over so many years. Im not wanting to see that going backwards. Todays paper sets out a number of details. It builds on the Customs Papers that we published yesterday. Separate proposals in relation to either a streamlined Customs Arrangement or a new Customs Partnership. It also looks at regulatory issues. One of the Key Industries on the island of ireland is agriculture and food. Therefore, we are suggesting that we may need to have Greater Regulatory clearance around that. As well as also goods in transit. It looks at a range of different issues from goods as well as the movement of people and upholding the Common Travel Area, which has served us so well since the 19205. Mr brokenshire denied that he was proposing a whole raft of fantasy solutions. He conceded that this would take some real work and it wasnt difficult. Clearly, he thinks there is a path to working this through that can be found. This will depend on a whole jigsaw of issues. The customs questions, questions around regulatory convergence between the uk and eu after brexit. How a free trade deal might work. All of that will be pouring into the various solutions that the government will be seeking. The outline of where they see this ending up in 3 4 years time, is what we find out today. Lets find out why the irish border is such a complicated issue. Our correspondent chris morris is here to explain the details for us. Its its a very sensitive issue, isnt it . It certainly is. All of these Brexit Issues seem particularly real in Northern Ireland, arguably the part of the uk which will be most affected by brexit. And probably standing in Northern Ireland on the southern shore of a lock and county down. On the other side of the water, that is the Republic Of Ireland. In the past, this castle stood guard over this limit of the sea. There have been any fortifications on the border for some time. In the past, they were Customs Checks but that ended with european integration in the 1990s. There are also used to be security checks, watchtowers, helicopters often in the sky. For People Living in border areas like this, the prospect of any return to Border Checks brings back some unwelcome memories. Thats why this issue is so memories. Thats why this issue is so politically sensitive and why everybody is stressing that they are committed to getting it right. The government says it was a breach in this, Seamless Border. The question is whether this can be achieved. There is a Customs Conundrum here, the uk outside the european Customs Union, leaving, and the Republic Of Ireland in sight. How do you square that circle . How do you allow goods to cross the border with an old checks, as they do at the moment . With no checks. In the paper today, the government sets out a couple of approaches as to how to approach this problem. One would be to have a Customs Partnership with the European Union, where the tariff arrangements on either side by the same, no need for Customs Checks. The other is what they call a technological solution, a Seamless Border, some electronic checks on vehicles and larger traders such cross the border regularly can sign up cross the border regularly can sign up to trusted trader status. Smaller businesses, 80 at least of cross border customs, they could have a extension. All of this depends on negotiations with the European Union. How this can be worked out and comply with eu will, the Irish Government says they welcome the clarity in this paper. Critics in the nationalist Political Parties say that brexit is not going to be good for Northern Ireland and the majority of people here did not fought for it. Many say that the governments plans lack of detail. Did not vote for this. Lets find out why the irish border is such a complicated issue. Our correspondent chris morris is here to explain the details for us. If they change. When brexit happens, the uk will suddenly have a major land border with the eu. Here it is. A big change. Between Northern Ireland and the Republic Of Ireland running for 310 miles. During the troubles, there were just 20 official Border Crossings between Northern Ireland and the republic. The british army shut down, spiked or cratered the rest. But following the Good Friday Agreement theres been rapid change. Now there are more than 260 public roads that cross the border. The centre for cross border studies, has estimated that between 23 and 30,000 people cross the border daily for work. While around 170,000 lorries and 1. 85m cars are recorded crossing the border each month. Which means that every year 31 of Northern Irelands exports go to the republic, and 27 of its imports come from the republic. So theres a lot at stake delays could lead to huge costs for Business Plus theres the risk of tax evasion, and various types of smuggling both of goods and people. But Above And Beyond that there are massive political issues creating any kind of hard border would be incredibly sensitive politically and could do serious damage to the peace process. So what are the possible solutions . Well, some new technology that may help the authorities deal with Future Customs Issues already exists. Number plate recognition has already replaced toll plazas on the m50 in ireland it could also be used to help with Customs Checks. And if you combine Smart Technology with some pre clearance and exemptions for local traders, it will help, but it only gets you so far. Norway and sweden do manage to avoid long queues at the external border of the Customs Union, as Do Switzerland and germany. But these are light touch borders, they are not invisible ones with no physical infrastructure at all. So what the uk wants on the irish border is unprecedented. And complicated by history. Which is why the government says its crucial to negotiate with the eu on the irish issue and on a future Customs Relationship at the same time and as soon as possible. Donald trump has faced renewed criticism from within his own Republican Party by again blaming both sides involved in the clashes in virginia last weekend. The us president appeared to distance himself from his own statement a day earlier in which he condemned White Supremacists. Our washington correspondent david willis reports. He was scheduled to make a statement about infrastructure, only to veer wildly off message and refer to his original assessment of the cause of saturdays violence. I think there is blame on both sides. You look at both sides, i think there is blame on both sides and i have no doubt about it, and you dont have any doubt about it either. Only the nazis. and, and if you reported it accurately, you would see that. Condemned for failing to apportion lame for the violence which left one person dead and more than 30 injured, the president took to the white house on monday to denounce racism and the white supremacist groups that organised the rally. A carefully worded statement which briefly served to cool the embers of outrage, only for the president himself to reignite them 2a hours later. You had a group on one side that was bad and a group on the other side that was also very violent. Nobody wants to say that, but i will say it. The remarks prompted sweeping condemnation from leaders of his own party. The speaker of the house took to twitter to say. A notable source of support came from david duke, the former leader of the ku klux klan. He applauded the president. Saturday boots protests were prompted by plans to remove. President trump wondered what would be next. I noticed that Stonewall Jackson is coming down, i wonder, is its George Washington next week and Thomas Jefferson the its George Washington next week and thomasjefferson the week its George Washington next week and Thomas Jefferson the week after . Its George Washington next week and thomasjefferson the week after . You have to ask yourself, where does this stop . With Police Forces around the country bracing for similar protests to the one in charlottesville, there is concern the latest remarks might serve to embolden certain elements at those protests. Well, twitter is President Trumps Communication Tool of choice, but his predecessor still commands a huge social media presence. So much so this tweet from former president obama is now the most liked post ever. He was responding to the violence in Cha Rlottesville the message, quoting nelson mandela, reads. Its been liked nearly 3 million times since it was posted on sunday. New figures show that unemployment fell again in the three months tojune. The Unemployment Rate dropped to 4. 4 , the lowest since 1975. With me is our Business Correspondent ben thompson. As ever, some good and bad these numbers. The one that most politicians will look at, the Headline Rate of inflation is 4. 4 the number of people out of work. Its lowest level since 1975. Lets look at the numbers and 109,000, thats the number of non uk nationals coming to work in the uk. A lot has been made about what happens to labour flows after brexit, whether people will still come to the uk, whether it will be easy for them to work. Its still an increase but its going up much less than before. It went up by toulouse and 7000 last time. About half the figure system. 200 and 7000. The one thing that is important is wages. They are going up by 2. 4 . It sounds like a board and it is a significant jump at yesterday we learned that prices and inflation was going up by 2. 6 . There is still a gap and our wages are not quite going up as well as prices are. We still feel worse off and in real terms we are at worse off than we we re terms we are at worse off than we were last year. We are 0. 5 worse off what about productivity, given the level of unemployment . When unemployment is low, this means that the economy is working properly. Youd imagine the economy is growing strongly. No one can work out why people are at work but they are not working as hard as before. They are not creating as much for the economy. That perhaps is related to the fact of low wage increases. Nobody is incentivised to do much work as they are not seeing a pay rise. Technologies have made us more productive. That has been a boost for productivity but we are seeing that that has tapered off in the League Tables of how we can better other developed economies in europe and the united states. Also, the received dollars contract issue. That has been discussed a lot. Whether people that are on these no guaranteed our contracts zero hour contracts. There are now fewer people on these contracts. Perhaps more awareness that people have recognised they are on one of these contracts and they dont want to be. There are also more pressures on employers to guarantee work to staff. Its good to. Co. Thank you. The headlines. The government says that to avoid checkpoints or physical barriers on the average border after brexit is a top priority in its new Position Paper. Unemployment fell to 4. 4 in the three months to june. Unemployment fell to 4. 4 in the three months tojune. But its lowest level since that isnt defined.
