life changing experience. The question is whether the Games will | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Extra staff have been brought into the Royal Victoria Hospital in | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
Belfast to deal with the large number of patients. The trust has | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
also made more beds available to cope with the pressure. | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
At one point today, there were over 100 people waiting in the emergency | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
department and another 30 on trolleys. The trust triggered what | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
they call escalation plans and brought in extra staff. This is the | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
largest apartment in Belfast, the lead -- is the believed the backlog | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
developed because of pressures at the weekend. A union representing | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
health care workers says the situation is stressful for staff. It | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
is exhausting, morally and physically. They are doing their | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
best for patients. Patient safety is the top priority. The Royal's | :01:08. | :01:16. | |
emergency department became the centre of attention last month when | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
the trust declared a major incident because of a backlog of patients. | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
Today, the situation has eased but as of yet o'clock, there were 80 | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
patients waiting with 15 on trolleys. One had been there since | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
two this morning. The trust says they are monitoring the situation | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
closely. Two men have been charged in | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
connection with an assault in north Belfast yesterday. A 24-year-old man | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
is in a critical condition in hospital following an attack on a | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
group of four men in the Antrim Road area. The police have tonight | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
charged a 23-year-old man with attempted murder, assault, and | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
several drugs charges. A 31-year-old man has been charged with causing | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
actual bodily harm and also faces drugs charges. Both will appear in | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
court tomorrow. County Down fishermen say their | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
families are having to rely on food parcels because months of bad | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
weather has forced the fleet to stay in port. Now fishermen say they are | :02:16. | :02:32. | |
at breaking point. This skipper has just arrived back | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
from C. He took his boat out and it cost over ?200 for fuel. His entire | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
hall is in one bag. This is our catch for today. The weather has | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
been atrocious in the last four months. It is making it impossible | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
for us to make any money. In bad weather, prawns burrow into the sea | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
bed for shelter. Today was relatively calm but few had | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
surfaced, but to the despair of local fishermen. This skipper has | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
only been to see twice this year. Now he and others are having to rely | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
on charity hand-outs. The indignity of having to go on television and | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
say that people arguing for food vouchers. Fishermen are proud | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
people, they don't want to have to do this. David is a fish processor, | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
he buys the prawns from the fishermen for expert. This is all he | :03:34. | :03:43. | |
got today. Today, is devastating and you can see for yourself how empty | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
it is. One of the poignant images for me in this industry is to see | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
these ones strong dignified men standing in a queue waiting for a | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
hand-out from the fishermen 's mission. Like foreigners, they feel | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
they are entitled to subsidies, especially in bad weather. -- like | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
foreigners. The Sinn Fein Policing Board member | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
Gerry Kelly is taking legal action against the Chief Constable about an | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
incident in which he was carried on the front of a police Land Rover in | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
Belfast. Both Mr Kelly and the officer driving accept informed | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
warnings for their actions at Carrick Hill in June last year. | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
The father of a student who ended up in hospital after a night out says | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
drink promotions must end. John Kelly's 19-year-old son drank a | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
bottle and a half of wine and six shots of tequila at a club in the | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
Odyssey in Belfast last 30. The teenager's cousin Joby Murphy died | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
after a similar night out in 2012. BBC Newsline's Tara Mills has been | :04:48. | :04:58. | |
talking to the father and son. Two dads who want an end to drinks | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
promotions. Joby Murphy died after he fell into the river after a night | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
out two years ago. His cousin ended up in hospital after attending a | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
drinks commotion at the Box nightclub last Thursday. The | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
19-year-old did not want to appear on camera. It was ?6 for a bottle of | :05:16. | :05:26. | |
wine and ?1 for a shot. I should not have been drinking that much. There | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
was no need for it. I took responsibility for the amount I | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
drank, it was stupid. He collapsed outside the club and ended up with | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
hypothermia. His dad says it could have been worse if he had not been | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
taken to hospital when he was. I went down to the hospital and I | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
opened the door and he was there, ice-cold, two drips into him, one | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
for blood and one for fluid. Hypothermia blanket over him, | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
unconscious. I could not get any sense out of him. I thought I had | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
lost him. I thought, here we go again. I don't know what was going | :06:08. | :06:23. | |
through my mind. It is down to cheap drink. Drinks promotions are regular | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
here and the student says he was thrown out by the bouncers for being | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
too drunk but management said they called the ambulance when he was | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
found unconscious. On Thursday night, Friday morning, at last week, | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
but the ones who reported the incident to the ambulance so I think | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
it has been taken out of context incense of the timeline. I am happy | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
that our staff had a Judy of care that night. The Odyssey has had its | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
fair share of publicity surrounding events at the complex and allows | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
couple of weeks. Those that run the Box nightclub said they are happy | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
they have all the adequate safety measures in place. | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
More than 200 jobs are being lost in Dungiven following the collapse of | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
its largest employer. KPL which carried out work for utility firms | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
like BT, NIE and NI Water was placed in administration on Friday. Over | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
the weekend, the administrators said the efforts to save the business had | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
been unsuccessful. There have been calls for politicians to help the | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
town. The time for tea and sympathy has | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
passed, we need action. Places like this have struggled with maybe one | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
factory going and then another. We are being told, we are doing all we | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
can. Nothing ever happens. We see announcement after a announcement in | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
Belfast and it seems there is not a level playing field. | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
You can find out what MLAs had to say today on the KPL losses on | :08:04. | :08:06. | |

Football and in the premiership tonight: Linfield beat Glenavon 2-1 | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
tonight. In the Setanta Cup tonight there were a few bruising encounters | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
for the four local teams in action. Crusaders went down 4-1 against | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
Sligo Rovers. Coleraine managed the only win with a 3-2 victory over | :08:25. | :08:28. | |

The low pressure has moved in and there is a lot of rain over eastern | :08:40. | :08:47. | |
counties. Temperatures fall to four or five degrees. There may be the | :08:48. | :08:56. | |
odd patch of frost. Tomorrow, many of us getting a dry and bright | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
start. The low pressure will stay in control so there will be some | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
showers coming in from the West but it will not be raining all day. In | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
between the showers, there will be some sunshine and sunny spells. The | :09:07. | :09:15. | |
showers will extend right across Ireland but for Britain it will be a | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
largely dry and bright start of the day with some good spells of | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
sunshine. Eventually the wet weather will push across affecting Scotland | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
and Wales and the south-west before gradually nudging its way eastwards. | :09:28. | :09:35. | |
For Northern Ireland, if you are out and about, it will be quite windy | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
and the showers will continue to come across with those winds. | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
Temperatures, cooler than today. More normal for the time of year. | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
The showers will continue overnight into Wednesday. It will improve | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
during the day, eventually brightening up with some good spells | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
of sunshine. Those will be short lived however because on Wednesday | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
night, more rain and on Thursday and Friday, sunny spells and scattered | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
showers. That's it for now. | :10:08. | :10:10. |
