He also outlines the advances made in progress politically in Northern Ireland and calls the Good Friday Agreement the only true way forward in Northern Ireland. He profiles the Good Friday Agreement obligations to parties on decommissioning as he sees it. Then he outlines the terms of the proposals published last week on by passing the decommissioning issue, outlining the fail safe measures which bring down the Executive if actual decommissioning doesn?t take place, and highlights the role of DeChastelein commission in the process. He says the failsafe protects Unionists and claims the proposals will reveal within days if the paramilitaries are genuine about decommissioning. He makes an appeal for support from people to wait thirty days to find out. Then William Hague (Tory Leader) says they back the Good Friday Agreement. He then wants Blair to make it clear that Republicans and Loyalists responsible for the current impasse. He raises two concerns about proposals firstly no cast iron guarantee IRA will decommission, he wants a timetable inserted, then secondly on the fail safe measure, suspending the Executive means non-paramilitary linked to parties will suffer as well as Sinn Fein/PUP/UDP. He wants these parties only, suspended and a stop put on prison releases. Blair responds by highlighting the big picture view, and the lack of trust here, and that not only has decommissioning not happened but the Executive hasn't been set up. He is trying to build in certainty not trust to the proposals, but he can't force parties to go into a government with each other, on prison releases he says other laws apply. He again says if we don't put these proposals to the test we will never know if they work.

Description:
As the Ulster Unionist Council meets to decide for or against the Mitchell plan to by-pass the decommissioning impasse, this programme is live, waiting on the voting outcome which decides both Trimble's and the peace process immediate future. Inn the studio is Mike Nesbitt with political commentators, Ken Reid, Arthur Aughy (UU) and Sydney Elliott (Queens University, Belfast), early indications are a win for Trimble in high fifty per cent. A Aughy comments on the decision by J. Taylor to support Trimble, then Nesbitt announces the figures from a piece of paper, then Lord Rogan (UUP) announces the exact voting figures. Trimble wins by four hundred and eighty votes to three hundred and forty nine, which is fifty eight per cent to forty two per cent.

Back to the commentators, who give their reactions, Ken Reid reviews the Yes/No campaigns, they comment on the offer of Trimble to resign by February it there's no decommissioning, in fact postponing the final decision, then A. Aughy gives his analysis of the vote from the Unionist party point of view how it effects the Yes and No Camps within Unionism, the fifty per cent is the same figure Trimble got when elected UUP leader. They comment on the atmosphere within the debate, Trimble produced a letter from Norah Bradford to support the deal, and Ken Reid speculates on the future position of UUP MLA's (8) who voted against Trimble. Then from the No camp, Willie Thompson (MP) joins the discussion, he says it's not a good vote for Trimble, the party is split. Then he's cut off as Trimble arrives for a new conference, W. Thompson says he'll resign as UUP man when Sinn Fein join the Northern Ireland Government. Then over to Trimble conference statement, he calls the UUC vote, a clear endorsement to procede towards devolution on the basis decommissioning will follow soon after, with a review of the situation in February. He praises an extremely good, courteous debate, then he says, 'Mr Adams its' over to you, we've jumped you follow'. At this point questions begin, but he doesn't take them. Then in the studio, J. Donaldson (MP) from No Camp, gives his reaction to the vote, he looks forward to revisiting the issue next February. He doesn?t know what assurances John Taylor got to make him vote yes, as a democrat he accepts today's vote and hopes the PIRA will decommission, all he has done is stand by his pledge to Northern Ireland people he says. (Then a short break). Then from the studio, Ken Reid outlines what will happen next week when the Executive is set up. Northern Ireland will have two Sinn Fein Minister for the first time, then Darren Nesbitt (UUP) from the Yes camp, is asked how he feels two Sinn Fein Ministers will be in Northern Ireland Government, he answers by looking to the positive aspects and says the UUP is testing Sinn Fein/IRA. No Unionist today was free of heart, he recalls a woman saying yes who's husband was killed by PIRA, then from No camp, William Ross (MP) says he is gutted, the UUP betrayed the Ulster people. There will be no decommissioning he says, he says he'll stay in the party to win this battle. Refers to Trimble's days in Vanguard which he says was a disaster for Unionist Party. Nesbitt says he hasn't betrayed the party, their position is genuine belief, he says he has adapted to changing circumstances and explains how, he then answers questions on his position on decommisioning and silent guns being no threat to a working Government. Then D. Burnside (UUP) joins the panel, he abstained in the vote today, he explains why he couldn't vote yes, because of the SDLP's position, but he's glad it's being revisited in February incase it doesn?t work although he wants it to work. Then Ken Reid, looks ahead to who will be UUP Ministers, he says D. Nesbitt, J. Taylor and R. Empey all candidates. It?s also expected within twenty four hours. The IRA will appoint a delegate to DeChastelein Commission, this is another event in the process and a risk for Trimble. Then from Fermanagh, Tom Elliott (UUP, Cllr) declares he voted No, from Lurgan, Jon Bell (UUP, Cllr) says he also voted No, both men gives their reactions to the outcome and explain their positions. They promised to keep Sinn Fein/IRA out of Government without decommissioning. (another quick break) then recap of today's events, with Sydney Elliott (Queen's University, Belfast) thoughts on Trimble's performance and his two concessions to the No camp in face of threat to resign from No Camp. Then A. Augy comments on threats of resignation and the extent of risk Tirmble took today as compared to the lack of political risk facing other parties, even Sinn Fein and SDLP. S. Elliott says the politics changes when Stormont Executive is running, Stormont then replaces primacy of Westminister MP's. A. Aughy highlights the fine line Trimble has thread since the Good Friday Agreement and explains what he means, he is still on the positive side of the line, Ken Reid highlights DUP claim that Unionist majority is against the deal by quoting the votes of MLA's. He says the DUP will broaden it's appeal to the Unionist electorate, and role of Unionism is about to change, it will go middle of the road. Next is a film report on reaction outside the Waterfront as Trimble left, while instead the comments of M. McGimpsey (MLA) and Arlene Foster (MLA), then Roy Begg Jnr on his UUP future, then Ken Magennis (MP) is heckled by No supporters outside as he gives his views to the press praising the Yes vote.
