The DUP have denied a report by the Times that the party is about to agree to a deal meaning NI will take some EU rules after Brexit. The Times claims the party has agreed "to shift its red lines" and "drop its objections to regulatory checks in the Irish Sea" as part of a new deal to replace the backstop. But the DUP leader Arlene Foster has denied that and says "anonymous sources lead to nonsense stories". Stephen spoke to Oliver Wright, Policy Editor of The Times who wrote this story along with his colleague Bruno Waterfield.
