Tributes have been paid to the 10-year old boy who died in a farm

:01:25.:01:29.

accident in County Down yesterday. Aaron Macaulay has been described as

:01:29.:01:34.

an angel and someone who was full of life. We have been speaking to some

:01:35.:01:42.

of those who knew him. Surrounded by his brothers and sisters, 10-year

:01:42.:01:45.

old Aaron Macaulay was the youngest of five children from this

:01:45.:01:55.
:01:55.:01:57.

well-known family who farm close to money slain.

:01:57.:02:05.

He did at the daily grind yesterday afternoon. His brother, who was also

:02:05.:02:13.

injured, was able to leave hospital last night. Aaron was somebody who,

:02:13.:02:18.

as his mum described him this morning, he was an angel. He was a

:02:19.:02:24.

boy who was full of fun, he was full of life and he was, despite only

:02:24.:02:32.

being ten years of age, someone who lived life to the full. You cannot

:02:32.:02:36.

talk about Aaron without a smile coming to your face. He had a great

:02:36.:02:40.

sense of humour, it wonderful sense of timing and he would say things

:02:40.:02:46.

that would have myself, his family and the congregation and laughter on

:02:47.:02:50.

many occasions. At Aaron's school staff had been

:02:50.:02:56.

struggling to take in what has happened and are thinking how do

:02:56.:03:02.

they will be able to support the other children when they return.

:03:02.:03:07.

was known by everybody. He loved to help with the younger children in

:03:07.:03:13.

the playground. He would play with children who were playing by

:03:13.:03:17.

themselves. He was very popular and got involved

:03:17.:03:20.

in after-school activities. He always wanted to be involved and we

:03:20.:03:24.

appreciate his contribution to school life, even though it was very

:03:24.:03:30.

short. Aaron's death will be a stark

:03:30.:03:36.

reminder to many farming families across Ireland what a danger farming

:03:36.:03:43.

can be. He is the fourth person to die in a farming incidence this

:03:43.:03:48.

year, and the first child to die in such an incident in four years.

:03:49.:03:53.

The incident is already being investigated. His funeral is due to

:03:54.:04:01.

take place on Friday. The Clogher ballet stole -- the

:04:01.:04:11.
:04:11.:04:32.

celebration of rural life. But the farming community were

:04:32.:04:36.

overshadowed by the tragic death of Aaron Macaulay. Many people

:04:36.:04:41.

expressed their sympathy for them McCauley family and said that the

:04:41.:04:47.

death of the child brought into focus the danger involved in even

:04:47.:04:55.

the simplest farm tasks. Farming brings with it its fair

:04:55.:05:02.

share of hazard. Machines have been part of farming life for generations

:05:02.:05:05.

but even with advances in technology, the inherent dangers

:05:05.:05:10.

still exist. Working with animals and chemicals also poses serious

:05:10.:05:20.
:05:20.:05:22.

risks. Children and is younger people can work on a farm but we

:05:22.:05:31.

have to be that bit more vigilant. The rest for injury still exists for

:05:31.:05:41.
:05:41.:05:42.

people even those who have lived their whole lives on farms. Even the

:05:42.:05:47.

farmer himself has to be careful. For young and old, there are dangers

:05:48.:05:52.

on farms and this most recent death has remained a people just how

:05:52.:05:59.

quickly tragedy can strike. The Health and Safety Executive have run

:05:59.:06:09.
:06:09.:06:16.

a campaign about the dangers. Today, after another farming

:06:16.:06:19.

vitality that has brought very much into focus just how tragic it can

:06:19.:06:27.

The father of two young brothers found dead in the boot of his car

:06:27.:06:37.
:06:37.:06:38.

has been arrested on suspicion of their murders. 43 rolled man was

:06:38.:06:42.

detained following his discharge from hospital earlier. He was being

:06:42.:06:47.

treated for injuries received when his car hit a wall. The bodies of

:06:47.:06:54.

his sons were found after the crash on Monday afternoon.

:06:54.:06:57.

The Department of Health has confirmed that the delay to the

:06:57.:07:01.

opening of the new hospital block at the Royal caused by corrosion in a

:07:01.:07:07.

new pipework will be longer than first thought. It won't begin

:07:08.:07:14.

admitting patients until 2014, one year later than originally planned.

:07:15.:07:18.

The new critical care centre is one of the largest public sector

:07:18.:07:22.

building projects ever carried out here. Billed as a new centrepiece

:07:22.:07:28.

for the Royal and at a cost of �150 million, it was supposed to have

:07:28.:07:34.

opened its doors to patients by now. But there is a snag. Corrosion has

:07:35.:07:44.

been detected in the new seating system, delaying the opening. The

:07:44.:07:49.

pipes will now have to be repaired. We had hoped to show you the extent

:07:49.:07:54.

of the work going on but the main contract wouldn't let us in and

:07:54.:07:58.

declines to make any comment. The main emergency department for

:07:58.:08:05.

the city of Belfast and intensive care for patients across Northern

:08:05.:08:09.

Ireland will fill the first six floors. The top floor will

:08:09.:08:15.

eventually house maternity services. The extent of the repairs needed

:08:15.:08:20.

means that building will not now be handed over until 2014, one year

:08:20.:08:25.

later than expected. That means the emergency department of the Royal

:08:25.:08:30.

will have to remain in its temporary accommodation for at least an extra

:08:30.:08:40.
:08:40.:08:44.

12 months. There will be many knock-on effects. The ANA department

:08:45.:08:50.

is in a Portakabin, the building is not fit for purpose. -- the accident

:08:50.:09:00.
:09:00.:09:03.

and emergency department. One-year delay is impacting on patients and

:09:03.:09:10.

staff. But I have another concern, who is going to pay for this? When I

:09:10.:09:14.

asked the minister they told me that they would not be held accountable

:09:15.:09:21.

for the cost but who will be? The health minister was unable for

:09:21.:09:27.

comment. The Department of Health says it will phase no additional

:09:27.:09:32.

costs and the responsibility lies with the main contractor.

:09:32.:09:36.

Still to come before 7pm, the new Lord Mayor delivers his vision for

:09:36.:09:44.

Belfast at what to people on the street think?

:09:44.:09:49.

A photograph taken of the singer Breanna when she filmed a video in a

:09:49.:09:52.

vast is at the centre of a multimillion pound court case in

:09:53.:10:02.
:10:03.:10:07.

London -- the singer Rihanna. In 2011, Rihanna was shooting her we

:10:07.:10:17.
:10:17.:10:17.

found a love video in Northern Ireland -- We Found Love. One of

:10:17.:10:23.

those images ended up on a T-shirt in Topshop. They sold 12,000 copies

:10:23.:10:30.

of it. Rihanna wasn't impressed and complains to her legal

:10:30.:10:35.

representatives. She said people might have been led to believe this

:10:35.:10:41.

was a product she endorsed. She wanted the court to stop Topshop

:10:41.:10:44.

selling the court and to re-compound served for the ones sold in the

:10:44.:10:50.

past. The High Court actually agreed with her. What they didn't say was

:10:50.:10:54.

that you can't put people to graph of the celebrity only garment and

:10:54.:10:58.

themselves. They said that can sometimes be fine but in this

:10:58.:11:04.

particular case, because Topshop has such a strong relationship with many

:11:04.:11:09.

stars and Rihanna has her own merchandising line and the

:11:09.:11:15.

photograph was a recognisable one from one of her videos, many fans

:11:15.:11:23.

would have thought that this was part of her official merchandising.

:11:23.:11:28.

Is this because celebrities now covet their images so carefully?

:11:28.:11:33.

It is one of those things, yes. They can often make more money from

:11:33.:11:40.

associated merchandise than they can do from music sales or concert is.

:11:40.:11:46.

So the very jealously guard that image. This T-shirt didn't have her

:11:46.:11:52.

name or her famous symbol but still the court said some people would be

:11:52.:11:56.

fooled into thinking this was official merchandise. The Lord Mayor

:11:56.:12:03.

has outlined his vision for the city of Belfast, winning people together

:12:03.:12:05.

and focusing on the culture and arts.

:12:05.:12:15.
:12:15.:12:16.

He started today by appointing health vast's first poet laureate.

:12:17.:12:21.

It was all smiles at the City Hall. Also aids were represented and the

:12:21.:12:26.

new Lord Mayor represented his vision for all in the city. That was

:12:26.:12:33.

it all too good to be true. More jobs, more focus on the arts. Even

:12:33.:12:37.

the appointment of the first poet laureate. Can it really change the

:12:37.:12:44.

city? I have no idea what I am going to write yet. But through this new

:12:44.:12:48.

engagement with the city I am sure that lots of homes will come and if

:12:48.:12:53.

I have half a dozen homes about this city at the end of the year I will

:12:53.:13:01.

be very happy. In a message to everyone in the city, the new Lord

:13:01.:13:07.

Mayor promises to be positive and reach out across the debate. There

:13:07.:13:11.

aren't many supporters of Sinn Fein in this part of east Belfast but are

:13:11.:13:19.

they at least prepared to get the new Lord Mayor a chance? He is Sinn

:13:19.:13:29.
:13:29.:13:32.

Fein. People in east Belfast as gettable -- are sceptical of

:13:32.:13:39.

politicians as a whole. If he delivers then people will listen.

:13:39.:13:44.

the ground, what do people think of the message and the messenger?

:13:44.:13:50.

give him a chance. Politics is politics but if it brings jobs to

:13:50.:13:54.

Northern Ireland and brings the communities together, why not? It is

:13:55.:14:02.

for our accounts future. After what has happened in the City Hall in the

:14:02.:14:06.

last six months, I think it will take a lot more than talk to get

:14:06.:14:10.

things sorted and used Belfast. There are a lot of very disgruntled

:14:10.:14:20.
:14:20.:14:20.

people about. Do you think people in the Belfast will listen to the Lord

:14:20.:14:26.

Mayor? If he has something sensible to say, I'm all for it. I would

:14:26.:14:33.

listen to anyone who gets us back to where we were. What is the

:14:33.:14:38.

difference if he is Sinn Fein, as long as he has brains to solve the

:14:38.:14:44.

problems. People here at my imagination but

:14:44.:14:47.

politicians are judged by what they do and is not what they see and

:14:47.:14:57.
:14:57.:15:00.

judging the political gap is the gold. That is a lot of positivity in

:15:00.:15:10.
:15:10.:15:10.

this decision. How will you evaluate the success? I see Belfast as a

:15:10.:15:18.

place of great potential. I believe the best days of Belfast are in

:15:18.:15:27.

front of it. My term is 43 weeks and five days. We went to bring people

:15:27.:15:32.

together and create jobs. I want to drive my damnedest to do that.

:15:32.:15:39.

Businesses in Belfast have had a terrible year. It has been pretty

:15:39.:15:45.

damaging for them. How can poetry change that? It is a glass half

:15:46.:15:52.

full. Never ignore the arts and culture. Belfast is on the cusp of

:15:52.:16:01.

many things. 6000 students come into the University of Belfast every day.

:16:01.:16:09.

That could transform the city. We have an investment programme. In

:16:09.:16:19.
:16:19.:16:21.

terms of real action, taking the first delegation to Silicon Valley

:16:21.:16:27.

ever and going to New York, training and tackling poverty. These are the

:16:27.:16:36.

actions people want. What about rates? We have more to shops in

:16:36.:16:43.

Belfast than anywhere else in the UK. The council is working hard.

:16:43.:16:48.

Stormont is working hard as well. We can unite with the business

:16:48.:16:54.

community. When I meet the Belfast chamber of commerce they say build

:16:54.:17:03.

the economy and push it forward. I think we are trying to do the things

:17:03.:17:08.

that will build confidence and deliver the customers. Is your focus

:17:08.:17:14.

tourism? Do you have targets customer is a jobs or bringing more

:17:14.:17:20.

people in? It is all those things. We want them to spend half �1

:17:20.:17:28.

billion next year. It is also jobs. Every Friday, I went to visit

:17:28.:17:38.
:17:38.:17:49.

businesses. Who will join with us? Thank you very much.

:17:49.:17:52.

Ulster preparations for the new rugby season took them to Donegal

:17:52.:18:02.
:18:02.:18:04.

today. The Ulster squad are at their preparation camp in the West. They

:18:04.:18:09.

were on the shores of Donegal Bay. It is surely one of the more

:18:09.:18:15.

picturesque venues the club will train at this season. Today, members

:18:15.:18:25.
:18:25.:18:27.

of local clubs got to watch their heroes. We know well the support we

:18:27.:18:33.

have here is regular. They have come a long way to supporters. It is nice

:18:33.:18:37.

to give something back and to show that we appreciate all the support

:18:37.:18:44.

we have all year. Supporters are used to making the long trek to

:18:44.:18:50.

Belfast to see the players play. has been excellent. I tried to get

:18:50.:18:59.

some signatures. Whenever they stop training I try to get an autograph.

:18:59.:19:05.

They really love their rugby. They love the rugby during the winter. It

:19:05.:19:10.

is amazing but it is great for the children. The players got more than

:19:10.:19:17.

they bargained for on this trip. lot of them do not get to see as as

:19:17.:19:25.

much as they like. It was good for them to come out and see us. We got

:19:25.:19:31.

to see you and some that in some unusual clothing on social media.

:19:31.:19:41.
:19:41.:19:44.

What was that about M? It was all a bit of fun. Visiting Donegal makes

:19:44.:19:53.

good sense for those in charge. people from all around came up to

:19:53.:20:02.

Ravenhill on a Friday or Saturday to support the team. Fans in County

:20:02.:20:05.

Tyrone will have an opportunity to see the players at close tomorrow

:20:05.:20:08.

when the squad visits. The Milk Cup tournament attracts

:20:08.:20:11.

some of the biggest football clubs in the world to Northern Ireland

:20:11.:20:14.

each summer. Among them this year are Corinthians from Brazil. Nial

:20:14.:20:21.

Foster has been finding out about their recipe for success. Whether it

:20:21.:20:26.

be the World Cup or the milk cup, the Brazilians are brilliant and

:20:26.:20:30.

over the years, the experts have often wondered why they are so good.

:20:30.:20:36.

The answer could just be black beans. In Brazil, it is a common

:20:37.:20:46.
:20:47.:20:49.

dish. We usually eat for lunch and dinner rice with beans. It is cheap

:20:49.:20:59.
:20:59.:21:00.

and very complete food. To us, it is necessary. Corinthians have

:21:00.:21:02.

specifically asked for black beans to be served at lunch and dinner

:21:03.:21:10.

every day. We sort of get an idea from the dietician what they will

:21:10.:21:16.

eat. They tell us what they like and what they will eat. We work

:21:16.:21:20.

together. The Brazilian government recommends that everybody eats black

:21:20.:21:27.

beans every day because they are full of fibre and protein. Could

:21:27.:21:37.

they be the secret to the success of the Corinthians? No. Black beans

:21:37.:21:47.
:21:47.:21:53.

helps us feel like home. But the most important thing is how we play.

:21:53.:22:00.

I hope that the black beans make the difference. With the team undefeated

:22:00.:22:04.

so far, the beans seem to be doing the business.

:22:04.:22:06.

Today's World Twenty20 Women's Cricket qualifier between Ireland

:22:06.:22:10.

and the Netherlands was a wash-out in Dublin. They will try again

:22:10.:22:14.

tomorrow at 2pm. But if it is rained off again, Ireland will qualify due

:22:14.:22:22.

to a greater number of group match wins.

:22:22.:22:25.

One of Northern Ireland's largest ever sporting events will officially

:22:25.:22:30.

open tomorrow. 64 countries are taking part in the World Fire and

:22:30.:22:34.

Police Games over ten days. They'll be competing in a diverse range of

:22:35.:22:39.

sports which includes cycling, Biathlon, dodge ball and darts.

:22:39.:22:42.

We'll be covering the ceremony live on tomorrow evening's programme and

:22:42.:22:46.

bringing you coverage of events throughout the Games. We'll profile

:22:46.:22:49.

a number of athletes who've travelled the world to come to

:22:49.:22:54.

Northern Ireland to compete. Our reporter Helen Jones met up with two

:22:54.:23:04.
:23:04.:23:14.

in town. Playing it cool. After 23 years working for the FBI, they have

:23:14.:23:17.

seen it all before. Too tough guys who just happen to be married to

:23:17.:23:27.
:23:27.:23:31.

each other. I am a bench press. They took out the squat and I am doing a

:23:31.:23:39.

bench and a dead lift. The FBI is an arduous job. You must be very

:23:39.:23:49.
:23:49.:23:49.

strong. Does it come in useful? it does. I have been chasing a bank

:23:49.:23:54.

robber at one time. He tried to run, we jumped on top of him and he is

:23:54.:24:04.
:24:04.:24:05.

yelling stop, you have got me! tough cookie, just like her husband.

:24:05.:24:13.

I have been involved in a number of bombings. So you have come to

:24:13.:24:23.

Belfast for a break? Yes, pretty much. Gathering photographic

:24:23.:24:33.
:24:33.:24:33.

evidence. The first port of call is Titanic Belfast. Awesome.Next on

:24:33.:24:40.

the list is the gym. On Sunday I will be doing the triathlon. Then I

:24:40.:24:50.
:24:50.:24:54.

will be doing the ocean swim. haven't seen much of the crack yet?

:24:55.:25:03.

No, have I? Justice will be done when the medals will be one. Click

:25:03.:25:10.

-- Case closed. I would not like to be competing against the FBI.

:25:10.:25:14.

What will the weather be like for the big opening. Barra is here with

:25:14.:25:24.
:25:24.:25:31.

tonight. That is a lot of rain out there. Temperatures of 13 or 14

:25:31.:25:35.

Celsius. The break in the rain will be short lived. We already have

:25:35.:25:38.

another band are playing pushing up from the south. That would give us a

:25:38.:25:45.

wet start tomorrow. We could see some surface display problems on the

:25:45.:25:49.

road first thing. It would be a wet start and throughout the day the

:25:49.:25:52.

winds will pick up as well. The heaviest of the game will be in the

:25:52.:26:01.

east and south-east. It does look as if the heaviest rain will be

:26:01.:26:07.

confined to the North Coast in the afternoon. We should seek some dry

:26:07.:26:12.

weather developing later but up that very little chance of seeing any

:26:12.:26:17.

sunshine. Despite the cloud and rain, it will be a warm day of

:26:17.:26:24.

around 21 Celsius. The rain becoming more patchy later on. If you are

:26:24.:26:28.

heading over to the opening ceremony, it is a bit of a guessing

:26:28.:26:33.

game at the moment. We are hoping to stay dry but that is still a chance

:26:33.:26:37.

of showers. Prepare yourself just in case and bring the waterproofs with

:26:37.:26:45.

you. Tomorrow evening, it will turn dry your. A muggy night to come. For

:26:45.:26:52.

some, it may fall to 15 Celsius. But that set us up nicely for a good

:26:52.:26:59.

start on Friday. By the afternoon, with the heater drowned, we can

:26:59.:27:03.

expect the showers to develop. Some of those could be blessed tree. In

:27:03.:27:07.

the sunshine, if you manage to avoid the showers, it will not feel too

:27:07.:27:17.
:27:17.:27:17.

bad at all. Sunshine and showers on Friday and that looks likely to stay

:27:17.:27:25.
