The DUP say No. Arlene Foster's party reject prime minister Boris Johnson's revised Brexit plan for Northern Ireland.

The DUP says no. The party has said that it "could not support" prime minister Boris Johnson's revised Brexit plan for Northern Ireland. In a statement released early this morning they stated "As things stand we could not support what is being suggested on customs and consent issues and there is a lack of clarity on VAT." Stephen spoke to Alliance Party leader Naomi Long, UUP MLA Steve Aiken and the Conservative MP Daniel Kawczynski - a former member of the ERG.

Also on the programme, school uniforms, naming - he / she / they, use of toilets and changing rooms, access to sports and admissions to single-sex schools - that's just some of the issues covered in new guidelines for schools in Northern Ireland on how to support transgender pupils. The guidance is from the Education Authority - the body responsible for schools here. The EA says it reflects best practice in supporting transgender pupils and applies to pre-schools, primary schools, post primary and special schools as well as other educational and youth service settings. Stephen got reaction from Commissioner for Children and Young People - Koualla Yiasouma and commentator Andre Walker.
