What happens next? Are the problems of controls between Britain and Northern Ireland insurmountable? And can the new US administration step in? Newsnight political director Nick Watt reported. Along with Kirsty Wark, one of the architects of the Good Friday Agreement is Jonathan Powell, DUP MP Carla Lockhart and Democratic Congresswoman Brendan Boyle. #Newsnight #BBCNews Newsnight is the BBC’s premier news and current affairs television program – with strong analysis, discussion, exclusivity and dialogue.
