first look at the papers over on the BBC News Channel, but now on BBC | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening. The Police Ombudsman has launched an investigation into | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
video footage that appears to show police officers leaving an | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
incapacitated woman in a bus lay-by in Londonderry. BBC Newsline has | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
obtained other CCTV footage which also shows the moments leading up to | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
the controversial incident. Here's our North-West reporter, Keiron | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
Tourish. This is the mobile phone footage at | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
the centre of controversy. It was taken on St Patrick's Day and shows | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
how police officers dealt with a woman who was lying on the the | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
roadway in John Street. She was moved a short distance before police | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
left. Many have been alarmed that the police didn't at least move the | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
woman on to the pavement. The man who took the footage, who didn't | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
want to be fully identified, said he was shocked. I just didn't think it | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
was right that two police officers left her on the bus lane. She could | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
have got run over. Just as if they didn't care. What about the people | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
who think you didn't care or do anything? I was going to go out and | :01:15. | :01:24. | |
help. Me and a friend was going to help, but somebody else came out and | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
so it was took care of. One councillor said the actions were | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
unacceptable. Totally inexcusable. It is not acceptable for that type | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
of response from the PSNI and they have failed this community and in | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
particular that young lady in relation to how they treated her. | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
BBC Newsline have obtained additional footage of the same | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
incident from a different angle. It shows a man who is believed to be | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
the partner of the woman being taken away by police before the incident. | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
From this position, we can see the young woman running at the police | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
car as they detain her partner. The police officers are again seen | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
moving the woman from the side of the vehicle to the bus lay-by, | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
before they get into the car and then leave the scene. A short time | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
later a number of people come out of a business and help the woman | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
inside. The policing board says that while the details are not clear, | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
video footage of the police response raises question of the most serious | :02:22. | :02:31. | |
nature. ?? YELLOW It was horrendous. It was bad news for us. The police | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
exist to keep people safe. Our police officers taking this female | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
from the middle of the road and leaving her in a bus lane does not | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
look good. This incident shocked many people. The challenge now is to | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
try to establish all the facts surrounding the episode. To that | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
end, the police ombudsman has begun an official investigation. | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
?? WHITE And tonight, the woman involved in the incident has been | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
telling Radio Foyle her version of events. She says that she was put at | :03:06. | :03:14. | |
serious risk by the police. I was drunk, obviously. It doesn't give | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
them the right to throw me down. It could have been on the path, where I | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
would have been safe but not lying on the side of the road where I | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
could have been killed. It is out of order. You can hear more of that | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
interview on the Morning Programme on Radio Foyle and Good Morning | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
Ulster tomorrow from 6:30. Two men have appeared in court | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
accused of the murder of a man in north Belfast at the weekend. Eamon | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
Ferguson was found dead in a flat in Ardoyne Place in the early hours of | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
Saturday. The accused are 26-year-old Louis Maguire, in whose | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
flat Mr Ferguson's body was found, and 31--year-old Christopher Power | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
of no fixed address. Both men deny the charge, and were remanded in | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
custody. There's a security alert in East | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
Belfast. Police sealed off a number of roads after a suspicious object | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
was found at the junction of Albertbridge Road and Castlereagh | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
Street. Army bomb experts were called to the scene. There are no | :04:09. | :04:20. | |
more details at this stage. MLAs have rejected a proposal to | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
reinstate the flying of the union flag on Belfast City Hall every day | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
of the year. In the Assembly tonight, the Ulster Unionist plan | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
was defeated on a cross-community vote. The decision was taken as part | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
of a two- day debate on the Local Government Bill. | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
The Chancellor unveiled his budget for 2014 today. George Osborne | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
claims his measures will boost the income of pensioners and savers hit | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
by low interest rates. The Finance Minister Simon Hamilton has welcomed | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
some of the proposals but has again warned that public finances will be | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
tight. Dan Stanton reports. The Chancellor called it a budget | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
for makers, doers and savers. But in this bar, there was not much cheer | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
over a reduction of 1pm the price of beer. I am not as sure that I will | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
see the penny off in the bars. It will not be reflected in the price | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
as we are paying. If I buy 360 pints, I will get one free, with a | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
penny. Although 1p of my not sound much, the organisation paths of | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
Ulster says it should preserve jobs in the industry. The main points of | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
the budget are the personal allowance, the amount that you own | :05:33. | :05:41. | |
before paying tax, will go up. Savers will also benefit. The amount | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
you can put into an ice will jump to ?15,000. It is ?5,000 at the moment. | :05:46. | :05:58. | |
Fuel duty is frozen and beers down one bite. Spirits stay the same and | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
cigarettes go up above inflation. There are positives for savers and | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
low-income families and we also have our first enterprise own year in | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
Northern Ireland and we want to capitalise to create employment | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
particularly in technology and financial services. There were some | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
positive feelings in this factory in Lurgan. It makes thousands of egg | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
cartons every week. The firm is doing well but the recovery is | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
taking time to get to the staff. This year will duty, they froze it, | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
so that may help. -- DC will duty. The income tax is the one for us. | :06:42. | :06:49. | |
They may be more extra money for Stormont for infrastructure costs | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
and departmental spending. One of the measures announced by the | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
Chancellor today was the creation of an enterprise zone near Coleraine. | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
The initiative has been welcomed, coming just days after it was | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
confirmed that the Driver and Vehicle Agency office in the town | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
was to close with the loss of 300 jobs. Here's David Maxwell. | :07:07. | :07:16. | |
Enterprise zones have been talked about for some time, but it has to | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
be said that today's announcement came as a pleasant surprise to the | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
business community here in Coleraine. The first enterprise zone | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
in Northern Ireland will be located close to the University of Ulster | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
campus on the outskirts of the town. An enterprise zone is an area | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
where the government offers tax or planning incentives to encourage | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
businesses to set up. They believe that this will be a particularly | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
attractive site due to the fact that a data centre has already been given | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
the go-ahead. That is somewhere where large amounts of information | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
can be processed and held. They believe that will attract online and | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
competing firms. There will be 15 jobs created by the data centre, but | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
we will have to see what other companies decide to take up these | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
incentives and set up business here. And staying on the hi-tech theme, | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
there's a special report on tomorrow evening's Newsline. | :08:14. | :08:22. | |
There are big plans for Belfast to get three public -- free public | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
Wi-Fi but it is already available in regional towns. We go to Dungannon | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
to find out if and how it works. Here is the weather forecast. | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
A cloudy start to the night but a change is on the way. This cold | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
front is working its way across Ireland over the next 24-hour is. As | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
we go through tonight, rain starts to work its way in from the West, | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
spreading to all parts by dawn tomorrow. That means that your | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
journey to work tomorrow morning could be quite interesting -- quite | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
tricky. There are strong winds to contend with as well. This is the | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
picture for tomorrow morning. The rain is just about everywhere. Some | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
of it could be heavy at times. It gradually clears over to the east. | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
That front as the dominant weather feature of the day. In front of it, | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
brighter, warmer conditions, behind it, showers and cooler spells. | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
Plenty of rain on the front itself. Through the afternoon across | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
Northern Ireland, a mix of sunshine and showers but because of the | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
colder air temperatures, some of those showers could fall asleep to | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
all smoke over the Hill. A chilly feel to the day on Thursday | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
afternoon. On Friday afternoon, we could see snow falling on the yields | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
-- we could see snow falling on the hills. It will not last, because the | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
sun is stronger. Quite unsettled picture. It will be wet and | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
unsettled all the way through this week. That's it. | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
Keep up-to-date with news online. But night. | :10:10. | :10:20. | |
From an East End dynasty of funeral directors to the hardware store | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
which could make you any kind of dolls house, | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
as I find out if family businesses are better businesses. | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
And not only is this an extraordinary archaeological find, | :10:32. | :10:36. |
