Former Stormont agriculture minister edwinpootsmla denies he tried to dilute the UK government's protocol bill with a letter sent in July:
reported that Mr Poots wrote to the then-UK environment, food and rural affairs secretary, George Eustice.
It said Mr Poots argued it was "unacceptable" that the protocol bill would force farmers to accept the same agricultural subsidy as the rest of the UK.The Northern Ireland Protocol has created some new checks on goods entering Northern Ireland from Great Britain In response, Mr Poots has said he "reasonably suggested one change which would maximise the UK's ability to use state aid under World Trade Organisation rules".
A new subsidy system is expected to come fully into force in the UK from 4 January, which is designed to allow the devolved regions to deliver subsidies tailored for their needs.The UK government and the EUabout the protocol, while the legislation continues to progress through parliament. Traditional Unionist Voice leader Jim Allister accused Mr Poots of putting "expediency before principle" by writing the letter, to which Mr Poots replied "it does not dilute the bill in any way, on the contrary it makes it better".

Lethal Electric Field Thresholds for Cerebral Cells With Irreversible Electroporation and H-FIRE Protocols: An In Vitro Three-Dimensional Cell Model StudyAbstract. The lethal electric field (LEF) thresholds for three typical cerebral cells, including a malignant glioblastoma (GBM) cell line and two cell lines from the healthy blood-brain barrier (BBB), treated by irreversible electroporation (IRE) or high-frequency irreversible electroporation (H-FIRE) protocols were investigated in an in vitro three-dimensional (3D) cell model. A conventional IRE protocol (90 pulses, 1 Hz, and 100-μs pulse duration) and three novel H-FIRE protocols (1–3–1, 0.5–1–0.5, and 1–1–1) were used to treat the cerebral cells in both 3D single-cell and two-cell models. The electrical conductivity of the 3D cell model under different electric field strengths were characterized with the method of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Based on EIS, a numerical electrothermal model of electroporation was built for the determination of the LEF threshold with different protocols and temperature monitoring. Cell viability was assessed by fluorescence staining 6 h after the treatment. The results showed no thermal lethal effect on cells when these protocols were used. The LEF threshold for GBM cells was significantly lower than that of the healthy BBB cells. These results suggest the possibility of selective ablation of human cerebral GBM by IRE and H-FIRE treatments with no injury or reversible injury to healthy cells, and the potential use of IRE or H-FIRE for transient disruption of the BBB to allow chemotherapy to reach the tumor.
