Good evening. Jail sentences of six years and 21 months have been handed | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
down to two men over the death of a police officer last year. Constable | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
Phillipa Reynolds was killed when a stolen car crashed into a police | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
patrol in Londonderry. One of the men was convicted of her | :00:22. | :00:32. | |
manslaughter. Filippo Reynolds was described as a popular and friendly | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
officer committed to serving the community. Her police car was hit on | :00:37. | :00:46. | |
the night of February last year. This man admitted a series of | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
charges, including manslaughter. This man, who has a lengthy criminal | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
record, admitted aggravated vehicle taking, causing death. Both men had | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
been drinking heavily and had consumed a large amount of drugs. | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
The judge said nothing he could say would take away the terrible loss | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
suffered by the family of Philippa Reynolds. He said that the | :01:16. | :01:24. | |
defendants did not care for what they had been doing. One of them was | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
driving at 80 miles an hour before the fatal crash. The judge described | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
it as an act of recklessness. He said afterwards they behaved like | :01:40. | :01:54. | |
how words by fleeing the scene. The family of Filippo Reynolds, which | :01:55. | :02:04. | |
included her father and my mother -- mother sat in the public gallery as | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
the sentences handed down. Filippo Reynolds. | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
A man caught with ?1 million worth of cannabis has been given a | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
six-year sentence. 50-year-old Matthew Tyrie from Knockleigh Walk | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
in Greenisland will spend three years in prison and three years on | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
bail. Tyrie was caught with 210 kilos of cannabis resin when police | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
stopped a car outside Hillsborough last year. It was the biggest | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
seizure of cannabis resin for five years here. | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
A shift in planning policy will create greater challenges for | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
out-of-town shopping developments to get approval. The Department of | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
Environment move will be welcome news for town centres, as our | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
economics and business editor John Campbell reports. | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
Our town centres have been suffering for years. New figures suggest | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
Carrickfergus has suffered more than most. It has been suggested that | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
more than one in five shots are empty. The recession and Internet | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
shopping have definitely played a part. There are also large | :03:10. | :03:18. | |
superstores nearby. One retailer is bucking the trend. He is risking | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
opening a new shop, but is aware of the problems. It is difficult, but | :03:22. | :03:33. | |
we have got to try. Now, it is hoped it will be harder for large retail | :03:34. | :03:42. | |
chains to get fanning permission. The new planning reform suggests: | :03:43. | :03:52. | |
So, does this mean a blanket ran on out-of-town developments? It is | :03:53. | :04:05. | |
important that any policy should look towards how we can revitalise | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
our town and city centres which are suffering badly and have been for | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
some time. The move today could throw bleak plans into doubt. -- | :04:16. | :04:26. | |
throw these plans into doubt. Last year John Lewis withdrawal -- | :04:27. | :04:37. | |
withdrew its plans to move into and out of town area. There have been | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
questions over local councils applying the plan and with our local | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
councils getting their hands on running control, the focus will be | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
on their decisions as well. A woman has been robbed and kicked | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
in the face by two men as she pushed her child in a pram in Belfast. It | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
happened at Roden Street this afternoon. She was pulled to the | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
ground and her handbag taken. The woman was taken to hospital for | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
treatment to her injuries, which are not life threatening. Her child | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
wasn't hurt. A bill to make major changes to | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
public sector pensions has been passed by the Assembly. The Public | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
Service Pensions Bill aims to move pensions to a model based on average | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
earnings with the pension age linked to the state pension age. The change | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
will affect up to 260,000 workers. This is bad news for almost a | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
quarter of a million public servants today. They have been paying more | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
for their pensions and it has been confirmed that they will have two | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
work longer to get that pension. If they have to work up to an extra | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
eight years, that is a fifth of their working life and it will deny | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
young people opportunities. The Presbyterian Church has elected | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
a new moderator. A former schoolteacher, 63-year-old Reverend | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
Michael Barry, has been the minister of Sandy Street Presbyterian Church | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
in Newry for 28 years. Dr Barry will take up office in June in succession | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
to Dr Rob Craig, who will continue as Moderator until that time. | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
A petrol bombing in County Fermanagh knocked out telephone and broadband | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
services to hundreds of people. The attack was near the headquarters of | :06:21. | :06:30. | |
the former Quinn Group in Derrylin. Another attack, apparently aimed at | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
the communication network of local company. These cabinets were | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
opposite the headquarters. A number of men were seen on this road at | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
about 9:15pm last night. It appears that the boxes were pushed over | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
before petrol bombs were thrown. Significant damage has been caused. | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
The people who carried this out may have wanted to attack the company, | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
but once again the consequences of their actions have been felt in the | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
wider community. Several hundred customers in the area have lost | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
their telephone and broadband. It is the latest in a series of attacks on | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
properties owned by the Queen family. Their business empire | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
recently collapsed. Sean Quinn has condemned the attacks, saying those | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
responsible are not acting in his name. | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
A Japanese car parts firm has announced an expansion in the | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
workforce at its factory in Carrickfergus. Ryobi Aluminium | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
Casting is investing in new machinery to expand its product | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
range. The ?32 million investment will mean an extra 100 jobs and this | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
expansion will bring to 386 the number of people working at the | :07:46. | :07:55. | |
plant. 2014 we will increase our output by 25%, which is a big step | :07:56. | :08:04. | |
in one year. We see that continuing to increase within the next five | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
years. Certainly our volume is increasing over the next five years. | :08:08. | :08:17. | |
Football, and in the Danke Bank Premiership tonight Cliftonville | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
beat Ballymena United 3-1, while Coleraine drew 1-1 with | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
Ballinamallard United. Parts of Cork city are flooded tonight. The bad | :08:22. | :08:30. | |
weather is now heading north. Here is the weather forecast. Another wet | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
and windy night ahead. We have warnings for strong winds. Another | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
area of low pressure is brewing to the south of Ireland. Rain across | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
Northern Ireland and winds will touch severe gale force along the | :08:45. | :08:53. | |
north coast. The combination of strong winds, the heavy rain and the | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
high tide could mean a risk of flooding. Probably not so badgering | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
the day tomorrow, but not as bad as Monday, but it will be a bad day | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
with strong winds and heavy rain in many places. Unpleasant tomorrow | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
morning. Heavy rain with strong and gusty winds. There will also be an | :09:19. | :09:28. | |
area of heavy rain across the Grampians in Scotland. Wet weather | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
across southern Britain and the Republic of Ireland. There will be a | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
risk of coastal flooding. By tomorrow afternoon there will be a | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
fair bit of rain across Northern Ireland. Things gradually easing | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
later in the day and tomorrow night. On Thursday, showers in the | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
north and west. Bright and breezy, but not a bad day. Friday will be | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
better with some sunshine. Most places will be dry. That is it for | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
now. Good night. Aren't police meant to keep us safe? | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
Isn't that what they do?! and prove it, | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
or let me go back to work. | :10:11. | :10:27. |
