Good evening and welcome to BBC Newsline. | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
A senior doctor and a patient are suing the Royal Victoria Hospital in | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
Belfast for negligence. It follows ongoing problems at the hospital's | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
accident and emergency department. Our health correspondent Marie | :00:21. | :00:29. | |
Louise Connolly reports. A senior medical consultant who works here | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
and a patient have both now instructed solicitors Madden and | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
Finucane to conduct formal proceedings against the health | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
trust. According to the statement, the action relates to negligence at | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
the hospital and a systematic failure which led to avoidable harm | :00:52. | :01:00. | |
and suffering of basic human rights. They say they have evidence of | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
appalling standards of care and negligence and an environment which | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
is both toxic for patients and for the members of staff who work there. | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
According to the solicitors, the evidence they have no means there | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
are calling for a full public inquiry. The Belfast Trust are still | :01:19. | :01:29. | |
waiting for correspondence from Madden and Finucane but say they are | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
fully corporate and in an investigation that is due to be | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
completed by the RQAI by the end of May. | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
Our health correspondent Marie Louise Connolly reporting. | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
The Prime Minister has paid tribute to Lord Ballyedmond, Eddie Haughey, | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
who was killed in a helicopter crash last night. David Cameron said he | :01:50. | :01:59. | |
was a towering figure in Northern Irish business life and passionate | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
about peace and good relations. The police say they are not treating the | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
crash as suspicious. The bodies have been recovered from | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
the wreckage. The Air Accident Investigation board is now in charge | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
of discovering why the helicopter crashed in thick fog. It has just | :02:15. | :02:24. | |
taken off from his country residence in Norfolk when it crashed into a | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
nearby field. We received a call from a member of | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
the public who reported hearing a loud crash. | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
It started off with a briefcase and a price list of imported products. | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
Lord Ballyedmond or Eddie Haughey was a lifelong peer. He made his | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
fortune in the pharmaceuticals industry. Among those he employed, | :02:55. | :03:04. | |
this site Foreman who had been alongside him in the helicopter. The | :03:05. | :03:15. | |
other people who died were Declan Small, and pilots Carl Dickerson and | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
Lee Hoyle. He was very generous with his time | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
and his energy and spent his time promoting Northern Ireland is a | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
place to do business in right across the world. He was very keen to bring | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
the rest of the world to Northern Ireland and that was his great | :03:36. | :03:36. | |
strength. The flanks flew at half-mast at his | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
factory today. There was a commitment to advance what was | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
described as his pioneering vision with a renewed determination. This | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
is the helicopter in which the four men died, taking off a few weeks | :03:58. | :04:06. | |
ago. It is said he was in dispute with the manufacturers, claiming | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
defects. The manufacturers say they won't comment on that but they will | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
cooperate fully with the inquiry. It is sure to focus on the worthiness | :04:15. | :04:24. | |
of the craft at the time of the crash. | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
The Police Federation which represents police officers has | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
warned them and the public to be vigilant after the discovery of a | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
bomb in Belfast. The under-car booby trap device was found lying on the | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
Blacks Road in the west of the city at around eight o'clock this | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
morning. It's believed it had fallen from a vehicle. The police haven't | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
confirmed if one of their officers was the target. A number of houses | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
had to be evacuated during the security operation. | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
This is yards from the bus stop where kids were standing waiting to | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
go to school. Where people were travelling to and from. | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
Two brothers found guilty of a series of sex offences against | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
family members have been jailed for a total of over 50 years. The men | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
were told by a judge that their actions showed a level of cruelty | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
and depravity which would not be tolerated by society. The men can't | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
be named to protect their victims who were all children when they were | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
abused. A man is recovering in hospital | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
after being rescued from a lighthouse on the County Down coast. | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
He got stuck 50 feet above the ground while he was painting Saint | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
John's Point Lighthouse in Killough. Claire Savage reports. | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
The emergency services got the call to see a man had been injured and | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
was hanging off the side of the lighthouse. It was suspended for | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
more than one and a half hours before the specialist crews got the | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
man down. It is understood he was painting the lighthouse when the | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
wind got him into a spin. That was when he was injured and fire crews | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
had to rescue him. Time is critical as we were aware of | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
the medical condition he might have which would mean that we needed to | :06:07. | :06:14. | |
be quick. It was a team effort to get him down as quickly as | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
possible. Our main concern was suspension | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
trauma associated with this kind of thing. He was lucky he had a safety | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
harness in place. The man is now being treated in | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
hospital and is said to be in a stable condition. | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
There's been an attack on the Quinn Packaging plant in Ballyconnell in | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
County Cavan. A vehicle was driven into the front of the building and | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
set on fire. It's the latest in an ongoing campaign against companies | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
once owned by the bankrupt billionaire Sean Quinn. Here's our | :06:49. | :06:56. | |
south-west reporter Julian Fowler. The attack follows a newspaper | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
report this week that the packaging plant could be sold. The Jeep was | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
driven down this embankment before crashing into the building. It was | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
then set on fire. One man who has worked for the company for more than | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
20 years says the attacks are threatening livelihoods and lives. | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
He didn't want to appear on camera. I don't understand their warped | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
mentality and what agenda they are persevering. Removing them won't do | :07:27. | :07:37. | |
anyone any good. He also wants to know why after a | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
three-year campaign of attacks those responsible have not been caught. | :07:43. | :07:52. | |
Rugby and Ulster's winning streak in the Pro 12 continued tonight at | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
Ravenhill. Paddy Jackson scored two tries as Ulster defeated the | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
Scarlets 26-13. Tommy Bowe also touched down while a Tom Court try, | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
right at the end, secured a bonus point for Ulster. Stephen Ferris | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
came off the bench in the second half to make his first appearance | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
after 16 months out with an ankle injury. | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
Now onto the weekend weather forecast, and here's Geoff Maskell | :08:15. | :08:15. | |
That's it for now. It has been a cloudy if rather | :08:16. | :08:26. | |
breezy day today and that means that tonight it will stay really quite | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
mild for the middle of March. All that cloud cover stays with us as we | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
go into tomorrow morning but the day just gets better and better. This is | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
the picture you'll be waking up to. Plenty of clouds to begin with but | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
then it breaks up and the sun makes an appearance and that helps the | :08:49. | :08:58. | |
temperatures rise. The West Coast of Scotland gets strong wind and rain | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
but elsewhere some really decent temperatures and bright skies. It is | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
a big day of rugby union tomorrow. It will be warm in Rome but let's | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
face it, there's only one game that matters and if you are lucky enough | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
to be in Paris at will be a fantastic occasion. Full coverage on | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
the BBC. Really very pleasant indeed with plenty of bright spells. By | :09:25. | :09:35. | |
contrast, Sunday is going to be a bit duller than that. The rain won't | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
ruin your weekend and the temperatures will stay mild. Another | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
bit of rain on Monday but Saturday is the best of the next few days. | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
