forget a first look at the papers over on the BBC News Channel. But | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
now on BBC One, Hello, and welcome to BBC Newsline. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
The First Minister has suggested Stormont's powers over social | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
security could be given back to Westminster - if there is no | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
political agreement over welfare reform. But Sinn Fein have called on | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
Mr Robinson to join with them in opposing the legislation. Chris Page | :00:21. | :00:28. | |
reports. In the debate over welfare reform, | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
Peter Robinson has talked about the possibility of nuclear options. He | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
says, at the moment, that doesn't mean he would consign to the bunker. | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
In the night's edition of The View, he said that it's possible that | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
powers on West... Welfare could be given back to Westminster. | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
It can be as simple as saying that this government is not competent to | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
take on welfare decisions. Therefore, you have to take this off | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
us. The DUP has given increasingly cataclysmic warnings of the | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
consequences of financial penalties at Westminster has imposed. | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
But this Sinn Fein minister has criticised Mr Robinson's latest | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
comments. Our call to Peter Robinson is to stand united with the | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
Executive and with vulnerable people in society to stand up to the | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
government in Westminster. This is worrying for people on | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
benefits, according to a charity. People are living on subsistence | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
levels as it is. They are concerned about what is happening, and how it | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
is going to impact on them. The bus and has not yet been pressed | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
on nuclear options. Around election time, politicians tend to retreat to | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
their bunker anyway. With elections in each of the next three years, | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
meeting agreement on contentious issues like welfare could prove | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
difficult. And you can see that interview with | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
Peter Robinson in full on The View immediately after this bulletin. | :02:04. | :02:16. | |
Shareholders in the Fivemiletown Co-operative have been meeting | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
tonight to discuss the future of the business. | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
The future of Fivemiletown creamery is being decided tonight, at the | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
workers here have been in the dark so far. The creamery owners and | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
stakeholders are meeting representatives of the much bigger | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
company, the cheese reduction company. Fivemiletown's small | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
factory has seen around 4,000 tonnes of cheddar cheese per year. They | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
want to transfer about production to one of their bigger factories. But | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
it's the workers, the 50 staff here at Fivemiletown, you are most | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
worried about their futures. You have to look at the employees. | :03:05. | :03:13. | |
There are a lot of orders coming in, everyone is trying to help the farms | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
out in a difficult time. We are willing to help out the farms. Show | :03:20. | :03:28. | |
the farmer that we will support him. With losses at around ?100,000 a | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
month, the shareholders are forced to make a decision, probably a | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
radical one. There is still the prospect of alternative bidders, | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
with Lake lads coming in, but at the moment it seems that the bigger | :03:46. | :03:55. | |
company is most likely to take over. The Chief Constable has told the | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Policing Board that he wants a former senior PSNI officer to | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
clarify his claim that Downing Street asked for the release of a | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
republican who was arrested for attempted murder. | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
Yesterday, retired Detective Chief Superintendent Norman Baxter told a | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
committee of MPs an attempt had been made in 2007 to get republican Gerry | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
McGeough, seen here leaving court, released. He was being questioned | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
about a 1981 attempt to kill a UDR soldier. Mr McGeough was later | :04:19. | :04:29. | |
convicted of attempted murder. I have asked the deputy, who is | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
responsible for issues of conduct, and I have asked Mr Baxter to give | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
us an account of what happened, why whom and when. I would liken to | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
explain his statement yesterday so we can make an assessment. | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
A twenty-three-year-old woman has died following a two vehicle | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
collision in County Londonderry. She was Leanne Dripps from the | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
Upperlands area of Maghera. It happened on the Agivey Road in | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
Kilrea shortly after eight o'clock this morning A second person has | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
been taken to hospital with injuries that are not life-threatening. The | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
police have appealed to anyone who was travelling on the Agivey Road | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
around the time of the accident to contact them. | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
Jim Allister is to stand in the forthcoming European elections. The | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
former MEPs said he would be offering voters the chance to | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
improve representation in Brussels, and give their verdict on the | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
performance at Stormont. On the day that it was revealed that | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
the Irish Open is to come to Northern Ireland twice in the next | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
three years, the BBC has learned that negotiations are under way to | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
bring the biggest competition in golf - the Open Championship itself | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
- to Northern Ireland. Stephen Watson reports. | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
A hole in one for the First Minister, on the day the Executive | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
delivered to professional golf tournaments. But a third, and the | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
biggest of them all, could be on the way. Go see Asians are at an | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
advanced stage to bring the Open back to Northern Ireland for just | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
the second time. -- negotiations are at an advanced stage. | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
I am still confident that we are capable of coming -- it is capable | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
of coming to Northern Ireland. What stage of the negotiations at? | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
They are way past the early stages. I am not going to come out why we | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
are still talking, to indicate the level of confidence I have. As I am | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
determined to ensure that we put every effort we can in order to | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
bring the Open to Northern Ireland. For now, a deal has been struck with | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
the European Tour with the Irish Open's return. | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
We are show showcasing one of the world's greatest events here at | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
Royal County Down. We know where we are going in the south, and this is | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
simply a tremendous day for the Open tour. | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
Royal County Down has staged big tournaments before, like the British | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
senior open. And the amateur Walker Cup which saw | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
Rory McIlroy play the world-famous links. That is the first time in 75 | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
years that the Irish Open will have been held here. It will be great for | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
the course to have such fabulous players playing on it. | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
We are consistently ranked high in the world, and Northern Ireland as a | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
whole will benefit. It will bring golf tourists into the whole of | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
Ireland, not only the North. Lough Erne will host the event for | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
the first time. We've got Northern Ireland coverage now with the Irish | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
Open. It's going to be wonderful. The golf | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
course is certainly able to take this event, and I think that the | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
tour pros will have a wonderful time playing here. So it's a double | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
celebration for goals in Northern Ireland, with good news possibly | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
still to come. Now with the weather here's Angie | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
Phillips. Many of us had a gloomy day to day, | :08:13. | :08:21. | |
and it will remain overcast overnight. Central and western areas | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
should stay bright. Further pulses of rain. There is some uncertainty | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
about how far inland that rain will get, but there is certainly | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
potential for heavy bursts. The Met office has a rain morning in place. | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
Be aware that there is a risk of localised surface water flooding. | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
The rain should be out of the way by tomorrow morning, and things are | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
improving by the afternoon. Many of us are looking at dry weather. It | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
will be gloomy and grey with mist and hill fog to start with, although | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
the rain should clear away quickly. Across the Republic of Ireland, it | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
is starting to Brighton after a dull start. Also also brightening parts | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
of Wales. It's mainly dry and the air quality is certainly better than | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
in recent days, as the wind changes direction. It is still quite warm - | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
up to 70 degrees. A weather front is lying across here bringing further | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
spells of rain and a chilly wind. -- up to 17 degrees. In Northern | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
Ireland, it does look a little bit brighter with hazy spells and one | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
too scattered showers. Most places are drying with highs of 13 or 14 | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
degrees. Similar temperatures into the weekend, but rather unsettled | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
with further spells of rain at times. | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
