Senior figures at the Magee campus of the University | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
of Ulster have demanded an urgent meeting with the Employment and | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
It follows the announcement that he has shelved | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
plans to expand the campus because of a threatened funding shortfall. | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Earlier this week other Stormont departments warned of budget cuts | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
due to a failure among the parties to agree on welfare reform. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Our Education Correspondent Maggie Taggart reports. | :00:28. | :00:38. | |
For decades, there has been pressure to expand university provisioning | :00:39. | :00:47. | |
County Derry, and recent promises seem to be satisfying local demand. | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
The target was an extra 1000 students by next year, but it looks | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
like the expansion. At 650, at least for the foreseeable future. When we | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
play fast and loose with the budget, there are consequences, and | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
duplications that the expansion has, this would be a consequence of it. | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
People have to wake up to the consequence of it. People have to | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
wake up to the consequences that an impromptu protest at the campus. | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
Given the fact that the case has not reached his table yet, how can any | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
minister suggested this will be pulled when he has not looked at the | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
finer details? It is irresponsible, he has too retracted, and the people | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
of the city will not be happy with that call. Last month, it won | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
permission for a new 11 million pounds building at the Magee campus. | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
We were aware that there were budget cuts, but we had no discussions on | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
impact on specific projects. University wants an urgent meeting | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
to discuss this announcement. The Minister will meet University of | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
Ulster and that will happen next week, but he is adamant that any | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
help of expansion in this climate are unrealistic. | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
Well that stalemate over welfare reform has been described by the DUP | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
as having the potential to derail devolution. | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
Peter Robinson said Sinn Fein were in "shameless denial" | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
However Gerry Adams in turn criticised unionists for failing to | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
Our Political Reporter Stephen Walker has more. | :02:20. | :02:30. | |
Stormont is having a face-lift. The roof is being repaired. But Gerry | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
Adams thinks it needs more than cosmetic changes. He believes that | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
the political process needs to be shaken up from its foundations. The | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
biggest party in the executive is not committed to what it signed up | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
to when it went into government with Sinn Fein and the other parties. | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
That confidence has been eroded. Sinn Fein also insist that welfare | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
reform changes must be opposed and they want the executive to appear | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
united. But Unionists think that Gerry Adams is all talk and no | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
action. We can all bluster, it is very, very easy to do, but it gets | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
us nowhere, particularly when Sinn Fein stick with this message of | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
us nowhere, particularly when Sinn Fein stick with this message Brits | :03:20. | :03:20. | |
out but leave the open cheque-book behind. It is a bit rich coming from | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
Gerry Adams when because of the Republicans, politics didn't move on | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
whilst they robbed banks, killed people and they did not decommission | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
weapons. A big problem that Gerry Adams and Sinn Fein created a lot | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
of. The Alliance party also criticised Gerry Adams saying that | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
his claims are nonsense. Tonight, the First Minister said that the | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
failure to implement the reform is the problem is likely to bring down | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
the devolved institutions. His party colleagues think that Gerry Adams' | :03:57. | :04:08. | |
comments are a smoke screen. People are losing jobs, public services are | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
being cut, this is a diversionary tactic to divert from the fact that | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
Sinn Fein are not stepping up to the market and responsible government. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
Sinn Fein says that the political process at Stormont needs to be | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
restored, but today, this was the only visible sign of rebuilding. | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
A 51-year-old Londonderry doctor has appeared in court charged with | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
Dr Lee Casey, a GP from Mansefield Grove is denying the charges. | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
The assaults are alleged to have taken place on two teenage girls | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
The Speaker of the Assembly Willie Hay is to be | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
The future Lord Hay says he's "delighted, but humbled". | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
Will Leitch looks back at his political career. | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
Order, order I would ask people to be careful of their language | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
Willie Hay has been a DUP politician for 30 years. | :05:00. | :05:10. | |
Originally a councillor and later mayor of Londonderry, | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
the Foyle MLA has been speaker of the Assembly since 2007. | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
And in that time he's seen his fair share | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
You always seem to know who the culprits are going to be. | :05:21. | :05:29. | |
Now Mr Hay is one of 22 men and women whom the Queen has | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
It's not clear when he'll take his seat as Lord Hay and leave the | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
He was hard on everyone, never turned a blind eye to DUP | :05:38. | :05:45. | |
colleagues, he respected the role of speaker. | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
He never turned a blind eye, he knew that if the speaker did not have | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
authority, respect, it wouldn't matter who was in the chair, whether | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
it was the Deputy Speaker, he was very, very insistent that this role | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
It is never an easy job, you have to face up to issues, I am | :06:03. | :06:11. | |
a person that never runs away from dealing with a difficult issue or | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
He'll sit with his Democratic Unionist colleagues | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
in the Lords on the cross benches, even though in one of those quirks | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
of politics, Mr Hay is Donegal born and holds an Irish passport. | :06:24. | :06:31. | |
The Red Arrows are the star attraction at tomorrow's | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
annual air show in Newcastle, County Down, however they're not | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
Our reporter Mervyn Jess joined one of the teams on a practice flight | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
yesterday and because of limited room in the cockpit had to film much | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
There is nothing Mickey Mouse about this aircraft, now is | :06:47. | :07:02. | |
the moment of truth, I now have to get strapped into the ejector seat. | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
Tighter than my normal mode of transport. | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
The Vampire was the last aircraft flown by the RAF | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
squadron at Aldergrove when it was disbanded in 1957. | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
Now, the jets are part of the Norweigan | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
Yesterday they flew me down to Newcastle to practice | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
their "loop the loops" on what they described as a dry run. | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
It is like the world is on my shoulders! We are upside down over | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
Newcastle Bay! That is something else! I have never seen the Strand | :07:32. | :07:39. | |
After all the G forces my stomach could handle, | :07:40. | :07:49. | |
it was a low level, hedge hopper of a ride back to Aldergrove... | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
Thank you for that, I'm so glad we didn't have to use | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
Rory McIlroy is the halfway leader at Golf's US PGA championship. | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
He is currently nine under par and two shots clear. | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
Darren Clarke failed to make the cut while Graeme McDowell | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
Whether you're heading to the links or the airshow, | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
Good evening, much quieter and much try after the early downpours and | :08:18. | :08:31. | |
thunderstorms and it should stay dry for the rest of the night. Clear at | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
times, one or two light showers and also temperatures could get a in the | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
countryside. A bit cool and fresh with some early mist. Saturday, | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
starting lovely with bright, sunny weather. The chance of a shower in | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
the south-east, but most places will be dry and showers will be over | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
Donegal. Showers will make their way in from the West in the afternoon | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
tomorrow. High-pressure across Britain and Ireland so lots of fine | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
weather to come. Wet and windy weather clearing and during the | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
afternoon, some showers will arrive across western counties of Ireland | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
and it is from the west that we see the showers tomorrow afternoon. Some | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
showers moving from the West, they may not reach the east and | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
south-east, but some rain before the end of the day. In the sunshine, | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
temperatures reaching 20 degrees. Sunday, this is when the remnants of | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
Hurricane Bertha will affect parts of Britain, particularly southern | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
and eastern areas of England and Scotland with some very wet and | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
unusually windy weather following on behind. For Northern Ireland, one or | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
two splashes of rain, particularly in eastern areas, so some showers | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
around and it will turn cool and blustery into the new week. Have a | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
great weekend. | :09:58. | :09:59. |
