Old Newscast: The Good Friday Agreement, 1998 (Part 1)


Listen Later

Today, we’re going back to April 10 1998, the day the Good Friday Agreement was signed in Belfast.

It was the deal that brought an end to 30 years of conflict in Northern Ireland, known as the Troubles - and cost the lives of more than 3,500.

Adam is joined by Nick Watt, Newsnight’s political editor and Annita McVeigh, BBC News chief presenter, who closely followed events at the time.
