some big decisions to make. That's it | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
The eight-year-old boy who died in a slurry tank accident in | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
County Antrim yesterday afternoon was Robert Christie. His father | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
Bertie remains in a critical condition in hospital. | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
They were at the farm of a family friend near Dunloy when they were | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
Our North-East Reporter David Maxwell has been to the scene. | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
Today, the farm where eight-year-old Robert Christie died fell silent. | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
The young boy came here with his dad, who was helping out | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
Exactly what happened is unclear, but it's understood | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
while mixing slurry, both of them were overcome by | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
The two were discovered by a postman, who raised the alarm. | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
Emergency services were quickly on the scene. | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
But it was too late for the young boy, who was airlifted to hospital. | :00:54. | :01:02. | |
The community is still coming to terms with the tragic events | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
which unfolded on this farm this afternoon. | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
It's yet another sobering reminder of the many hazards encountered by | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
It is a reminder to us all that we don't know what a day is going to | :01:16. | :01:31. | |
bring. Here are a family and a community that have been plunged | :01:32. | :01:32. | |
into indescribable sorrow, and our thoughts and prayers are | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
with the family, who are well known in this community, and it is another | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
reminder to us all just how quickly The Christie family regularly | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
attend this church. This morning, | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
they were remembered in prayer. Along with his two sisters, | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
Robert also went to the Sunday school at this church, just yards | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
from the farm where he died. they are on our minds very much this | :01:52. | :01:59. | |
morning. We are just beside where it happened. I would | :02:00. | :02:15. | |
like to express our sympathy and condolences to the family, | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
This afternoon, staff met at the primary school | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
where the eight-year-old was in the P4-P5 class. | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
The principal says everything possible will be done to help | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
What he didn't know about farming wasn't worth knowing. | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
He would frequently tell me about things he had done at the | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
weekend or what he was going to do. His loss will have a huge impact. | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
I would say that there is a very close family spirit here | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
The Health and Safety Executive are investigating this incident - | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
the latest in a long line of farming tragedies. | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
A 38-year-old man has been charged in connection with dissident | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
He's accused of directing a terrorist | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
organisation and membership of a proscribed organisation. | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
The Catholic Archbishop of Dublin has said the truth must come out | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
about the mother-and-baby home in County Galway and homes elsewhere. | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
Dr Diarmuid Martin was speaking on reports of a mass grave of infants | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
and children found in the grounds of a convent run by nuns in Tuam. | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
There is no point only investigating what happened at Tuam | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
and then next year finding more, we have to look at the whole | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
They are talking about medical experiments there. | :03:23. | :03:31. | |
we have to look at the question of adoption. | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
They are complicated and sensitive issues but the only way we will come | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
out of this particular period of our history is when the truth comes out. | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
A number of Antrim residents have had to leave their home tonight | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
because of flash flooding. Several homes around Ballymena are believed | :03:54. | :03:54. | |
to be in -- affected. The Ulster Council | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
of the GAA are investigating a mass brawl before this afternoon's senior | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
championship match between Armagh The fighting, involving | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
the majority of both sets of players, began as they were about to | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
line up for the pre-match parade. In the match itself, | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
Armagh won by one goal and 12 points The local boat taking part | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
in the Clipper Round-the-World Yacht Race has left New York, | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
en route for Northern Ireland. The Derry-Londonderry-Doire yacht is | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
one of 12 taking part During its stop in New York, | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
the yacht welcomed potential investors to promote business in | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
Derry and across Northern Ireland. It'll arrive | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
on the Foyle later this month I've been trying to prepare the guys | :04:31. | :04:43. | |
for the welcome there. In the last race, the Derry stopover was one of | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
the biggest and best by all reports, and that was before the people of | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
Derry-Londonderry knew what it was about, what to expect, so I think | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
this time the welcome will be bigger and better. | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
Coming up on tomorrow's BBC Newsline: | :05:03. | :05:03. | |
As a booming property market in London and the south east | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
of England brings an interest rate rise ever closer, what will | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
London and the south-east may be able to cope with eight 2% or 3% | :05:10. | :05:20. | |
bank rate. Can an area like Northern Ireland, which is just in the early | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
stages of recovery, deal with that in the same way? The question -- the | :05:27. | :05:35. | |
answer is no. Here is the weather. Things are looking quieter tonight. | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
Most of the heavy showers are moving away north so are fairly mild night. | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
A little mist and cloud around tomorrow morning, otherwise it will | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
brighten nicely. There will be some showers but not as many or heavy as | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
today. Many places get away with a dry warning -- morning. It will get | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
cloudier as the day goes on but most showers will be across western | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
areas, drifting up from western island with fine weather in the | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
East. Some showers over central and southern areas of Britain with | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
temperatures towards London reaching mid 20s but elsewhere the high | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
teens. Compared to today there will be more dry weather and most showers | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
will be in the far West with a small risk of a thunderstorm and many | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
places in the East will be dry with sunshine and feel warm. We expect | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
the downpours to return on Monday night into Judy. Most of the week | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
will be warm and there is a question over rain on whether state, I will | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
come back to you on that. Heavy rain moves away on shoes date to the | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
north of Scotland. Some downpours but also pleasant spells of | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
sunshine, not as hot in the south-east. On Wednesday this rain | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
dressed up into southern Ireland. Most places will be dry with | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
sunshine. On Thursday we will find most of the rain comes on Wednesday | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
night and then added clears away there will be sunshine with just the | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
odd shower. We may find that the worst of the downpours of this week | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
are on Monday night into Tuesday and the rain may come on Wednesday | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
night, leaving a lot of the daytime fairly dry and temperatures mostly | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
staying above average. Have a great night. That's the local news for | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
now. Our next bulletin | :07:33. | :07:33. |
