Battles lines drawn as DUP tell PM they don't trust her over Brexit

Battles lines drawn as DUP tell PM they don't trust her over Brexit. Where did it all go wrong? And where do we go from here?

It all started out so well. Two years ago Theresa May and Arlene Foster watched on as a one billion pounds deal was struck between their two parties in London. Fast forward to yesterday and things started to unravel. The DUP wasn't happy as details of the EU backstop plans started to emerge in Brussels. The front pages of the local papers say it all today. The News Letter goes with "DUP not bluffing in Brexit threat to May". The Belfast Telegraph headline "we don't trust you, DUP tells PM may". So where did it all go wrong? And where do we go from here? Stephen spoke to 成人快手 NI political editor Mark Devenport, SDLP MLA Claire Hanna and Frank Shivers from the NI Conservatives.

Also on the programme, an 81 year old woman from Moneymore says she's trapped in her own home because of bird poo. Mary Devlin's home on the Drummullan Road is bombarded with flying faeces - so much so she can't put her washing out or have her grandchildren visit... And she's resorted to tying bin bags on the roof and fence to keep the birds at bay. Mrs Devlin is recently widowed and has heart problems - and says she's asked NIE to help her but she can't afford their costly solution. Our reporter, Nicola Weir, went to visit Mary.

And, mystery surrounds a DUP SpAds' email which appears to show someone in the party did not want cost controls introduced. Newsletter political editor Sam McBride on the latest revelations from the RHI Inquiry.
