Northern Ireland ‘peace babies’ reflect on Good Friday agreement’s 25th anniversary – BBC Newsnight

What can the visit of US President Joe Biden to Belfast do for peace in Northern Ireland and to help restore the government there?

Amist a huge security operation, the President arrived last night to mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday peace agreement.

Radio 1 Newsbeat’s politics reporter Jordan Kenny was born in 1998 after the agreement was signed.
