KARUNA SHINSHO, CNN ANCHOR: Political leaders in Northern Ireland have until Monday to respond to proposals that could make or break the Good Friday Peace Agreement. The British and Irish governments hammered out the plan after intensive talks. Mark Webster has the details.</s>MARK WEBSTER, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Anxiously awaited here, this document spells out the concessions the British government is prepared to make over reducing its military presence when the security situation allows. But at a press conference at Hillsborough Castle this morning, the British and Irish governments insisted that this was a balanced approach, with something for everyone. s Yet they were consistently asked about destruction of paramilitary weapons.</s>BRIAN COWEN, IRISH FOREIGN MINISTER: The question of putting arms beyond use is a collective responsibility of everybody. There are people out there with arms, and we want to see a situation where arms are taken out of the equation completely, in all respects.</s>WEBSTER: Yet wasn't the document full of sweetness for IRA to make the first move.</s>JOHN REID, BRITISH NORTHERN IRELAND SECRETARY: If this is seen as only a victory for one side or the other, then the peace process would never have started, wouldn't continue, and will never conclude. It has to be a victory for the whole of the Northern Irish people and society, and that is what we believe we put forward today.</s>WEBSTER: Yet this is the continuing reality of life in Northern Ireland: a vigil overnight, ahead of today's funeral, for 18-year-old youth gunned down outside a Gaelic football club by loyalist paramilitaries. They had wanted to kill a Catholic. He happened to be Protestant out with his Catholic mates. His father, a paramedic, had fought desperately to save his son's life.</s>MICHAEL BRETT, VICTIM'S FATHER: We can't keep on killing each other because</s>WEBSTER: Today's funeral will provide a poignant but terrifying reminder of what could face Ulster if the peace process fails. Mark Webster, ITN, Hillsborough Castle.
