The SDLP leader Colum Eastwood is calling for the two governments to implement the 'draft accommodation' between the DUP and Sinn Fein.

The SDLP leader Colum Eastwood is calling for the two governments to implement the 'draft accommodation' between the DUP and Sinn Fein. He's meeting the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and T谩naiste Simon Coveney in Dublin later today. He joined Stephen this morning from our Foyle studio.

Also on the programme, DUP deputy leader Nigel Dodds has said if the fall-back position contained in an EU draft legal document is adopted Northern Ireland would effectively leave the UK. For that reason, Mr Dodds says the document is unacceptable and should be rejected. The EU draft document is based on the agreement struck between Theresa May and the EU in December to conclude the difficult "Phase 1" negotiations. It will be published later today. The so-called "backstop" option would kick in if the two other plans can't be agreed. The Taoiseach Leo Varadkar says it is up to Britain to bring proposals to the table if it does not wish to trigger the backstop agreement. Stephen spoke to RT脡's Europe Correspondent Tony Connelly, UUP MLA Steve Aiken and Fine Gael's spokesperson on EU Affairs and the chair of the Seanad's Brexit Committee Senator Neale Richmond.

And, coming to terms with the death of one child is any parents worst nightmare. To lose five - unthinkable. One Belfast family are trying to do just that. 4 year old Lacey Pollock passed away on Monday morning. She is the fifth sibling from the family to die from a mystery illness - that health professionals cannot explain. Lacey, follows her brother Jordan who died at 11 months, Jamie-Lee, aged 13, Ellie aged 6 and Lexi, who died at only 9 weeks. Parents Jamie and Mark - want to thank the huge outpouring of support and sympathy - the family have received. Stephen has been talking to Jamie.
