Rick Farragher reports. An Irish Coastguard helicopter with | :00:29. | :00:43. | |
heat-seeking event called off its search for today at quarter to nine | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
oh stop a lifeboat crew along with the Irish Coastguard have been | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
searching for the third man for around six hours. When man was | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
discovered in our after that. Conditions were described as trustee | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
of the time of the incident. We are searching an area called viewpoint. | :01:02. | :01:14. | |
There is an area... A few days fishing out on the lake. They were | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
doing a bit of pike fishing. The weather wasn't great at the time. | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
The search will resume at first light tomorrow. | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
A County Londonderry gas fitter has been sent to jail for health and | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
safety breaches that led to the deaths of two teenagers. George | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
Browne from Ballygawley Road in Aghadowey got two years for the | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
manslaughter of Aaron Davidson and Neil McFerran. They were poisoned by | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
fumes from a boiler Brown's firm had installed. | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
Poisonous gas is leaking from this type and it killed two young men. It | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
should have been secured with four small screws, but the failure to do | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
that cost Aaron Davidson and Neil McFerran their lives in August of | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
2010. They were having a break with another friend in an apartment I had | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
of getting their exam results. When they did not result -- return homes, | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
their parents came here. They found two of the boys died and one is | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
seriously ill. They were poisoned by carbon monoxide. Within days, this | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
man's name was made public, George Browne was responsible for fitting | :02:24. | :02:33. | |
the apartment. An extensive investigation was carried out in the | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
case took three and a half years to reach the conclusion. That was | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
something that big judge criticised today. The lesson is that shoddy | :02:41. | :02:49. | |
work showmanship -- workmanship costs lives. Get a gas engineer to | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
put everything in and make sure it is service. If you have chimneys, | :02:55. | :03:04. | |
make sure it is clean. Brian -- Browne eventually pled guilty to | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
many safety breaches. He put his head down as the judge said that his | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
cavalier attitude was impossible to comprehend and run Sebastopol -- | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
reprehensible. He said it was caused by sure laziness. He was sentenced | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
to four years. He will spend half that time in jail. He was also fined | :03:29. | :03:56. | |
?19,000. The Alliance party's Euro candidate | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
has been criticised for saying she favours a united Ireland. Anna Lo | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
made the remarks in the Irish News. Our political correspondent Martina | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
Purdy has the details. What will voters make of her preference for | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
United Ireland if a majority agree? I think it is such a small place, a | :04:09. | :04:16. | |
corner of Ireland to be part of the United Kingdom. It is very | :04:17. | :04:24. | |
artificial. I think together, working with the UK, we are at a | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
better place. Economically, socially and politically. She also told the | :04:30. | :04:38. | |
Irish news she was anti-colonial. Unionists have condemned the | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
remarks. She is entitled to her opinions. She is entitled to have an | :04:42. | :04:52. | |
assertion of Ireland. It is not a colony. It is part of a United | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
Kingdom. She needs to apologise. In a statement, the Alliance Party said | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
that the party had a diverse membership on adding that's Anna Lo | :05:03. | :05:11. | |
has her own aspirations. But this former MLA says that her comments | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
are damaging, particularly for an East Belfast MP who was caught up in | :05:16. | :05:25. | |
a row over the union frag. -- flag. Where did she get the votes to elect | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
her as and he for East Belfast? Only from the unionist population. But | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
Sinn Fein says her remarks are not rational. I do not welcome her | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
comments and I think they are disgraceful. They are unforgivable. | :05:42. | :05:50. | |
There are seniors who are asking for an apology. | :05:51. | :06:01. | |
And the Alliance Party leader David Ford will be giving his reaction on | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
The View straight after this bulletin. | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
Two police officers who were filmed leaving an incapacitated woman in a | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
bus lane in Londonderry are to be repositioned following a | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
recommendation by the police ombudsman. Mobile phone and CCTV | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
footage shows the two officers abandoning Bridget Mongan in the bus | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
lane on John Street on Saint Patrick's Day. The move means the | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
two officers will not perform duties which bring them into direct contact | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
with the public. The digital revolution has been | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
progressing quietly in a lot of our towns and cities. Many of them are | :06:33. | :06:41. | |
already well ahead when it comes to providing free Wi-Fi. Belfast is due | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
to get its own system next year, but people may have to pay to use it. | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
Conor Macauley reports. You cannot see it, but this town is | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
encased in a giant bubble. For the last six months, people have been | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
able to access free public Wi-Fi on the streets here, part of a scheme | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
to make it available in towns across Northern Ireland. There is a | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
repeater box for the Wi-Fi behind me. We will see if we can log into | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
the service. There it is. Free Wi-Fi. And there is live coverage of | :07:11. | :07:20. | |
the House of Commons. The scheme as part of a general roll-out. So far, | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
the Department for social development has approved ?564,000 to | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
be spent on installing free Wi-Fi in 22 towns across Northern Ireland. | :07:32. | :07:40. | |
And this town, it is being picked up by local councils. This man helps -- | :07:41. | :07:50. | |
this man knows about the free Wi-Fi system. He has no doubts about the | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
benefits. I have heard, especially from American Taurus, the lack of | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
good, open up why Spike -- Y pipe -- Wi-Fi hotspots. The likelihood is | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
that it will not be entirely free. It is expected an initial period | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
after login will be free, but people will be expected to pay her | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
continued usage. -- for continued usage. | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
After a reasonable afternoon, the temperatures this evening and | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
tonight have dropped off quite market leap. The showers tonight | :08:31. | :08:40. | |
will turn increasingly wintry. The Met Office has a yellow warning in | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
place for ice that is in force from midnight tonight until nine o'clock | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
tomorrow morning. Friday is going to start quite chilly. As we go through | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
the morning, it stays reasonably warm -- dry through the first half | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
of the day, and that is because we are in this gap between a couple of | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
fronts before the next weather front moves in, and that is the dominant | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
feature in the UK and Ireland tomorrow. It is a decent brighter | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
day in the southern areas. North and west, it is cloudier and showery and | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
quite breezy. Look at what we have to contend with tomorrow afternoon. | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
Wintry rain and eight cold and blustery ride home. Quite streaky | :09:29. | :09:36. | |
and challenging. Stay tuned to BBC radio Ulster for the latest updates. | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
As we head into the weekend, chilly temperatures continue on Saturday. | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
It is a similar sort of set up on Sunday as well. It will get brighter | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
on the high-pressure works its way in and kills off the showers. An | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
unsettled few days. Sunday afternoon, the best of it. You can | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
keep the date -- you can keep up-to-date | :10:02. | :10:02. |
