Any hi-tech solution to the problem of how to keep the Northern Ireland border open after Brexit is at least 10 years away. That's according to a leaked Home Office document. The memo said the cost and complexity of using new technology to remove the need for border checks meant "the challenges of this work cannot be underestimated". And the third most powerful politician in the United States - House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi - has delivered a hard-hitting message to British and Irish politicians. Ms Pelosi, who's visiting the border this morning, has repeated her warning that if a Brexit deal is seen to undermine the Good Friday Agreement, there will be no chance of a UK-US trade deal. Vinny spoke to Downing Street Brexit spokesman Matthew O'Toole and the DUP MLA Jim Wells.
