Unionists hit out at Sinn Fein over hard border civil disobedience warning

Unionist anger this morning after Sinn Fein's Chris Hazzard said a hard border after Brexit could lead to civil disobedience. The South Down MP told a Westminster press conference that "If we see a situation where we are going to have border customs posts or any particular type of hardware, I would think that would be something people won't want. "And I go even further. An awful lot of the focus has been on maybe dissident republican organisations and threats, but it is wider than that - it goes right down to a feeling of civil disobedience. "When you talk to normal people in civic society they are very, very angry and frustrated at even the thought of a customs post going up." So is that a realistic view of the potential fall out of a hard Brexit or are they reckless comments from a senior politician? Stephen got reaction from UUP MLA Doug Beattie, TUV MLA Jim Allister and commentator Jude Collins.

Also on the programme, Jean Faulkner, the woman who fronted campaign to keep open her nursing home, has passed away aged 98. Stephen spoke to her cousin Sheena.

And, Northern Ireland's health regulator tells Nolan people are dying in hospitals without a nurse around them in their final moments because of staff shortages. Stephen spoke to SDLP health spokesperson Mark H Durkan and Garrett Martin, deputy director of the Royal College of Nursing.
