Prime minister Theresa May will call on the EU to evolve its position on Brexit.

Prime minister Theresa May will call on the EU to evolve its position on Brexit this morning in Belfast.

Prime Minister Theresa May will call on the EU to evolve its position on Brexit this morning in Belfast.

Regarding the White Paper published last week, the PM will say that she has developed proposals for the future and it is 'now for the EU to respond'.

She will add that the EU should - 'Not simply fall back onto previous positions which have already been proven unworkable. But to evolve their position in kind. And, on that basis, I look forward to resuming constructive discussions.'

The UK and EU have both agreed, of course, that there should be no hard border in Ireland after Brexit, but are at odds on how to achieve it. The EU has proposed a backstop that would mean Northern Ireland staying in the EU customs union.

However, the UK has rejected that.

Also on the programme, Falls Road business owner claims new bus lanes has forced him to close his deli, Stephen speaks to inspirational cancer survivor who is to climb four of Ireland's highest peaks in 24 hours - doing it on crutches. And, Belfast's new George Best Hotel is set to have a statue of the Man United legend on the roof. Would you welcome it?
