Good evening. Last night's trouble in East Belfast has been condemned | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
by First Minister Peter Robinson. Four police officers were hurt when | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
a protest turned violent outside the Skainos community centre, where | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
former IRA bomber Patrick Magee was speaking. Mark Simpson reports. | :00:19. | :00:31. | |
It was billed as a night of reconciliation but it turned into a | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
confrontation. Loyalist protestors objected to the presence of this | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
man, former IRA bomber Patrick Magee. He was invited to speak in | :00:40. | :00:48. | |
east Belfast. A crowd of more than 50 people gathered outside. Some of | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
them wanted to get inside. Jim Wilson was one of those at the | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
meeting. On his way out, he was attacked. Or does he think organised | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
the demonstration? It could be the Twitter and Facebook people. They | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
decide to do what they want to do. I don't have a problem but they have | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
to do it in a manner that is respectful to everybody. Reverend | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
Leslie Carroll was one of those involved. As she any regrets? We | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
would not want to put the police in that position again. People were | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
injured. There were all sorts of safety issues. That has to be | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
balanced alongside the statement we wanted to make, which was that you | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
can move freely around this wonderful city. It belongs to all | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
others. What happened here last night was very different to what | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
happened 14 months ago when Martin McGuinness arrived for the official | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
opening of this new complex. It was smiles all around and not a protest | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
inside. So what has changed in east Belfast? It is a fluid situation. We | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
are now in a different situation. There is the backdrop of protests, | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
the continuing decline in the relationship between policing and | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
law and order. Chose a lack of leadership. We have seen an | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
inability within recent months within recent -- within loyalism, | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
where people have difficulty accepting this place is diverse. | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
Four people -- police officers were injured last night. There were no | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
arrests. A court has ruled that a husband and | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
wife accused in connection with a sexual slavery case, can be | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
identified. 57-year-old Keith Baker and Caroline Bernadette Baker, 51, | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
are from Drumellen Mews in Craigavon. The husband faces 15 | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
charges against two women, one of whom suffers from a severe learning | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
disability. His wife is charged with falsely imprisoning the same | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
vulnerable woman between 2004 and 2012. | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
Around 50 employees of Mivan could get new jobs, with the sale of the | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
firm's assets to the Newry based MJM Group. Mivan effectively went out of | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
business at the start of this week, with the loss of 250 jobs. MJM says | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
it will revive the Mivan brand and create new employment. John Campbell | :03:23. | :03:33. | |
has more. With Mivan in administration, it | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
looked like one of the best-known names in local construction would be | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
gone for good, and with it all of the jobs. But now the MJM group has | :03:40. | :03:48. | |
snapped up the Mivan name and some of its artists. -- acids. It will | :03:49. | :03:56. | |
run Mivan as a stand-alone business. It will take on between 40 and 50 | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
people. Former Mivan staff can expect to be at the front of the | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
queue. In the coming days and weeks recruitment will begin, machines | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
will start up again and the business will be trading. This is the | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
existing factory for MJM in Newry. The firm has come a long way since | :04:16. | :04:23. | |
1983. It specialises in fitting out cruise ships and super yachts. It | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
turns over ?20 million a year and directly employs 150 people. I asked | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
its owner how many jobs he aims to create. I was asked this question | :04:35. | :04:43. | |
about ten years ago in country. I said we would get to 30 or 40. Last | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
year we had 715 employees. No subcontractors. Some were temporary | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
workers. I have the same hopes for this company. The new owner is | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
bullish. The local MP was also thinking of those who will not be | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
getting a new job. The news that is coming from Mivan today is something | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
that will be encouraging. But we are not there yet. There are still a lot | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
of people who are employed that are not employed. Over the past five or | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
six years, many well-known construction businesses have | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
disappeared completely. The fact anything has been saved from the | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
collapse of Mivan will be seen as positive. | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
Sinn Fein has condemned online abuse targeted at one of its councillors | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
who teaches at the Boy's Model School in north Belfast. The party's | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
education spokesman, Chris Hazzard, says that the teacher has been | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
subjected to what he describes as a witch hunt by the Protestant | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
Coalition. That's rejected by Willie Frazer from the Coalition, who says | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
he condemns any threats made against the teacher. But he says that her | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
role at the school should be looked at because of her political views. | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
The abuse has been condemned by the Ulster Teachers Union as an attack | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
on democracy. Tens of thousands of pounds worth of | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
damage has been caused to 28 cars at a Bangor car dealership. Vandals | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
poured paint thinner or acid over the cars in the early hours of this | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
morning. All of the cars will now have to be re-sprayed. The owner | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
says he doesn't know why his business has been targeted. | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
I have been in Banga selling cars for the past 26 years and never had | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
any problems. I cannot sell any of these cars. The businesses on its at | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
this moment. Two men in their twenties have been | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
arrested in connection with the attempted murder of teenager Scott | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
Vineer in Lisburn in 2012. The autistic teenager was discovered | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
lying unconscious in the grounds of a disused warehouse. He'd been | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
repeatedly beaten around the head. The former US diplomat, Richard | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
Haass, says he believes that the five Executive parties will | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
eventually agree to compromise on flags, parades and the past based on | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
his final proposals. On New Year's Eve, Dr Haass presented a blueprint | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
to the parties, which has yet to achieve political consensus. | :07:06. | :07:15. | |
These ideas now provide a new baseline. Whether it is next week, | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
next month or next year, sooner or later the five parties will have two | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
return to these negotiations. The range of compromise will not be | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
fundamentally different to what was in the negotiations. Even if we did | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
not succeed now, something like this will have to take effect if Northern | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
Ireland is really going to move forward. | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
Sport now, and the Irish women's rugby team have defeated Scotland by | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
a record 59-0l in their opening game in defence of the Six Nations title | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
they won last year. Now it's been a wet and windy day. | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
Conditions were particularly bad in parts of County Down. Here in | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
Newcastle sandbags were given out after the water rose dangerously | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
high on this road. To tell us what sort of weather we | :07:59. | :08:06. | |
can expect for the weekend, here's Cecilia Daly. | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
Good evening. There is a lot going on in the weather in the next 24 | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
hours. We have a snow warning in force. We are expecting heavy | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
showers to turn more to snow. Moving in from the West. The snow mostly | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
over the hills. Some snow dropping to lower levels, too. Dropping | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
temperatures will mean some very icy conditions. Further wintry showers | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
on Saturday morning. If you are on the roads tonight or tomorrow | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
morning, you may come across snow. Icy conditions. Over the hills, it | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
could be up to five centimetres tomorrow morning. Later on Saturday, | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
Gales will become an issue. Low pressure off the coast of Donnie | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
Gold, driving lots of showers across us, and high winds. That could lead | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
to big waves onto parts of the East Coast. Possibly some flooding. | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
Wintry showers piling in thick and fast across Northern Ireland | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
tomorrow. There will also be a hazard of snow across Scotland and | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
northern England, particularly over high ground. Showers of mostly rain | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
further south. Severe gales developing on the Irish Sea. It will | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
affect many coasts of western Britain. Some strong winds across | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
the Republic of Ireland. During the afternoon, most of the showers | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
falling as rain. Temperatures recovering. It is not all bad news. | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
On Sunday we get a bit of a break. Still some showers around but drier, | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
brighter and less windy. Then we do it all over again as we returned to | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
work next week. More heavy rain. Have a great weekend. That's it for | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
now. Our next television news is tomorrow afternoon. Good night. | :09:58. | :10:01. |
