- 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.
For those born after the Agreement was signed, it was hoped their lives would be free of brutal sectarian conflict that scarred the generations before them.
Radio 1 Newsbeat’s politics reporter Jordan Kenny was born in 1998 after the agreement was signed. He has been talking to other young people like him about what it means to be a so-called ‘peace baby’ in a place still grappling with its past, and what the future of this still-divided nation could hold.

It's sad to see young people internalise the rhetoric older people throw around about them being ignorant and whatnot. You are very self aware, thoughtful and inspiring. To all other teens and young people - don't let anyone look down on you or your whole age group because of their shallow beliefs. You are just as smart as previous generations.
And now they are being flooded with Africa. 🤔
HA! No... I am Gen Z myself and even I can see the decline in sanity between generations.
@@Jarmint Then you're looking in the wrong places
I see examples of us improving and examples of us declining, even though it's difficult sometimes I must remember the former for my sanity
Hello my friend of Northern Ireland❤
I’m from Singapore 🇸🇬
- Congratulations 🎉 25th Anniversary❤❤❤
what a privilege, to know peace- this hopefully gives the new generation a different perspective from their parents and enables both sides to work together. Hope and peace accords conquer violence, it’s the only way!♥️🙏🏼
it is human nature to commit violence
It was the violence that got them power sharing and civil liberties etc in the north aswell as liberation in the south. Irish history is the ebb and flow of peace and guerilia war.
@@MrFriendlyCsgoContent Male violence is the scourge of this planet. It's time women bred it out of them. It's ridiculous that men run anything, they thrive on conflict and nonsense. It's time that the word men is used to prefix their violence. Tired of it and the excuses made for it.
@@MrFriendlyCsgoContent it's also human nature to adapt, learn and evolve from our experiences. Believing human beings are innately violent seems to be a bit of a cop out to me, surely we can one day move on from our barbaric histories
@@bluediamond1414 Times change, but people stay the same. War has been around for thousands of years, what makes you think we are any different from our ancestors?
World peace is nothing but a fantasy.
We're not going to be anywhere in the next 20 years we are going nowhere.
Frankly the more we populate the island with people that don’t remember anything about the troubles, the better. We don’t need these ghosts coming back. Let the prejudice and ignorance die with their grandparents and parents, and pray they didn’t pass it on to their children.
1690????
This show totally ignores that the cours of the troubles, a divided Ireland,is still with us
It’s hard to call it divided when the North can join a anytime it elects to. There’s nothing keeping it apart except the will of the population of NI.
@@muckraker7942 exactly
I really hope it doesn't start all over again..
Peace is fragile, but what's the alternative? There isn't a viable alternative, is there..
Believing in the Lord comes with so many bonuses, like experiencing the joy and love He has for you.
BBC까지 와서 개랄을 떨어, 독교 정신병자 샠
Wow, younger northerners sound almost southern
What a load of nonsense! I'm not a peace baby, I grew up in the troubles. One thing I never had to deal with was a police helicopter flying over my house for hours everyday like I have done this last 2 weeks. I didn't have police landrovers up and down my street several times a day either. What this doesn't tell you is that they moved these paramilitary groups away from christian fundamentalism and set them up in the drug business, bravo. The streets and communities are now run by cocaine, heroin and a bunch rebels without a cause.
Exactly! This has nothing to do with religion anymore, it's about crime and who gets the biggest pay offs.
The Provisional Irish Republican Army and the Irish National Liberation Army were not Christain fundamentalists, nor were either guided by any fundamentalist Christain doctrine. Yes, both insurgent groups' membership was overwhelmingly Catholic, however, that was coincidence and not a deliberate goal either organizations Army Council. The main ideological glue of both the PIRA and INLA was ethno-nationalism, they were no different to any other anti-colonial movement in the post-World War Two era seeking to assert sovereignty over their nation and expel the foreign colonial occupier.
1998? My sympathis you didn't get born in the 70's or 80's to live through the best years.
8:22 Peace (or suppression of violence at least) benefits all, whether people appreciate it or not. Peace/suppression of violence does not mean lack of injustice or deceit. There is obviously a huge gap between peace/suppression of violence and true peace.
Lets all move on and look to the future. No one really gives a toss anymore
Ffs keep those kids away from Biden
Top of the morning to ya lol
At no time should there be aphreid faith schools.
lol this is a very cleansed segment by the BBC especially when they went to Derry. Dare I say bias. That parade has been happening for years only now they make a big thing of it. Throwing petrol and paint bombs at police is very common in both communities and nearly all done by teenagers. Maybe if Parliament invested more into Northern Ireland and tackled the economic conditions this would be a less of a problem but there's only so many resources, so people naturally are more tribal not to mention 800 years or so of generational trauma to reinforce it.
Bidens greatest achievement of peace is the acknowledgement of a 25 year old peace deal in a country his ancestors came from 😂
Wtf does the president of the US have to do about this news story? Jesus Christ, get some perspective and focus into your life.
ireland watching more bbc
Free Ireland
'I didn't know Catholics were a thing until I was 10' - I'm getting quite the laugh from that. I know it's very sad but I love the way of speaking up North - their best days I believe are coming.
Why is everything in northern ireland expensive crap?
The kids make more sense than the DUP
🇻🇳❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸
Ehm..
That's an Irish
Jesus Christ called people everywhere to repent, so if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe with all your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved and inherit the kingdom of heaven and eternal life. To this, people would accept Jesus Christ in life in their hearts and told other people how Good he is, how he saves, heals and frees and gives eternal life for freе
My grandfather was born in 1898 in Cork City. He fought in the British army in WW1. Then he joined the IRA. Funny that, he wanted his country to be free from the death and oppression caused to his ancestors and family after 7 centuries of British rule. ❤
A population of war veterans is an empires worst nightmare. America's revolutionaries fought in the 7 years war prior to 1766
Growing up in NW England during The Troubles I’m still terrified of the idea of even setting foot in NI
Wise up! 🙄
I agree, why they still have segregated schools beggars belief.
Safer than most of England. Hop on a boat
If we lived thru it you can too
@@IslaSprollie grooming catchment to enforce republican beliefs and ancient victimhood. Much as radical islam schools rest of UK. Kids x generation never trully mix or learning side x side
It's totally safe. Whatever violence happens is secterian, and even that is very, very, limited.
Edit: obviously there's "normal" violence happening as well, but all in all NI is quite a safe place to go to. As a tourist I think it's as safe as it gets.
Elon brought the fire! You can't bring a knife to a gunfight. But in this scenario, James brought spongebob inflatable arms.
Who is this hot dude?
Good Friday to Catholics 👈 brutal dead of JESUS was good to them 👈 Amen 🙏
The only way there will ever be peace is when they make a huge massive saw and cut along the border and let both north and south drift apart...
Religion is so peaceful.
Should be made illegal to brainwash kids into it..
@@paul7TM religion had nothing to do with the conflict it was a simplifying term.
The Koran and Talmud will be your new religion.
@@paul7TM it's not 1920 anymore..
ELON MUSK INTERVIEW WITH BBC REPORTER.
PRICELESS !
Jesus Christ, get a life, stop idolizing individuals and think for yourself.
The Republic of Ireland is quickly becoming very multicultural as well. I hope it works better than it has in the North.
That's not rape, that's diversity
The Koran and Talmud will be the new religion.
It has already turned out bad. Have you not seen the hundreds of videos of Irish people turning out to turn immigrants away?! Ireland has no need for any immigrants, they are superfluous, unnecessary.
Where's the peace baby leprechauns?
This time of day, already too pissed to attend
If Britain weren't going around invading countries then thousands of their invading soldiers would be alive or wouldn't be seriously injured.
You're head still stuck firmly in the past I see.....nice !
humans are too aggressive and greedy for war to ever go away. thousands dead in ukraine and dying right now as i type.
If by Britain you mean Israel, then yes, definitely
@@MattyEngland The kingdom of Israel merged with the kingdom of Judah which was then invaded by the Romans and it was the Romans that change it's name to Palestine. Nothing to do with the British.
@@sebastianguerre6868 Made up boomer history, bought to you by the same people who told you that freemasons played golf on the moon 54 years ago 😂😂
cant we just ditch northern island and leave them to it and if they try to do or say anything to us just sanction them hard
We would love nothing more than to be left alone by both Westminster and Dublin. You are both doing shite atm. 🙄
stop talking balderdash
I think the UK and Ireland should become a new country.
You are right after seeing the sorry state of the UK and seeing more evidence I don't agree with what I said 4 months ago. Irony I was just thinking about this the other day. Irland is doing way better than I thought @@thejiggitygiggity90
Brexit?????
