when a concrete slab fell on them Two towns in Northern Ireland | :00:24. | :00:37. | |
devastated by news from the other side of the world. Like so many | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
Irish nationals, the young men in their 20s were working on a | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
construction site in Perth. Only a few weeks into their jobs, they were | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
killed when a concrete slab fell from a crane. Joseph McDermott was | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
from Omagh. Today, the sad news has rippled through the time. A young | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
fellow turned down in the prime of his life. We went out to Australia | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
just a few weeks ago for an adventure, to make a few blind. He | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
is only a way five weeks tomorrow. The sense of grief in the town is | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
palpable. It is unreal. His colleague, Gerard Bradley, lived | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
outside cold rain but for years he worked in this pub. The night, his | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
friends gathered in Portstewart stunned. Everybody is devastated. | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
Terrible news. My phone has not stopped all day. Great guy, very | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
popular. Nobody in the time but have a bad word to say about him. The | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
life and soul of the party when he was out. A gentleman. Everybody is | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
devastated. Gerry was a big Arsenal fan. He was -- was a sports fan in | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
general, which is why he was often find here at the golf club. He was a | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
very good golfer. He joined here in 2,000. He was 14 and had a 14 | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
handicap. He was very popular with the members. A really nice kid. It | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
is just a tragedy. Questions are being raised about safety on the | :02:11. | :02:11. | |
construct an site in Perth. The family of an autistic teenager | :02:12. | :02:19. | |
who almost died in a brutal beating in 2012 have hit out at the sentence | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
handed down to his attacker. Ryan Craig, who was originally | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
charged with attempted murder, was jailed for five years after | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
pleading guilty to causing grievous Scott Vineer was discovered with | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
severe head injuries in Lisburn. The judge told Ryan Craig that his | :02:31. | :02:46. | |
behaviour in the aftermath of the attack on Scott Vineer was not | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
indicative of genuine remorse. Craig, seen here at an earlier | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
hearing, attacked police with a petrol bomb. A year later, the | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
20-year-old from Ashland Gardens and is burnt will spend five years in | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
prison and five years on licence. Scott Vineer's had hoped for a | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
longer sentence. He knew what he was doing. He knew it was wrong and he | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
deliberately kept details away from anyone who could help Scott. He | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
should have been given the maximum, as far as we are concerned. I reckon | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
he should have got 15 years. Judge Lynch also told Craig that although | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
he would be released from prison, Scott Vineer would never be released | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
from the imprisonment he subjected him to. The Vineer family have been | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
telling me how the attack left Scott with his life sentence. The judge | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
came to see us first and prepared us by saying he did not think he would | :03:49. | :03:58. | |
survive. -- the dock your. We were prepared to say our goodbyes. It was | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
absolute horror. Seeing him laying there, knowing how bubbly and how | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
strong he was, I just couldn't understand how anyone could have | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
done that, such horrific injuries, to him. Scott was just 17 when he | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
was attacked Ellie Watton from college. He has been left with | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
permanent brain damage. In August, Scott was best man at his mum and | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
stepdad's wedding. He fought back before and he is determined to live | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
a normal life. I hope to eventually get my own place when I 25 or so. I | :04:41. | :04:50. | |
don't want to go far away so I can see my friends, and all that. When | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
Scott was found unconscious by hand this disused furniture store, his | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
injuries were so severe that the police could not identify him from a | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
photograph. Although his recovery has astounded medical experts, but | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
he and his family will be dealing with the aftermath of this attack | :05:10. | :05:10. | |
for the rest of their lives. Police have confirmed they've | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
found a bomb near Dungiven. It was discovered this afternoon | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
following a controlled explosion The security operation is expected | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
to continue into tomorrow. It's the second alert in the area | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
in recent weeks. The Chancellor, George Osborne, has | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
scrapped plans to cut tax credits. The decision brings unexpected | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
relief to one in six households in Northern Ireland which stood to | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
lose hundreds of pounds a year. But there will still be tough times | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
ahead in terms of Stormont spending. Here's our business | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
correspondent Julian O'Neill. I would not be able to pay most of | :05:39. | :06:07. | |
my bills of the tax credits. It sees you through the month when you're | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
waiting for you we're just coming. So, it had looked like time was up | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
for child and working tax credits, going into today's Autumn | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
Statement, but then came a surprise announcement. Because I have been | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
able to announce today an improvement in the public finances | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
home of the most simple thing to do is not the phasing these changes but | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
to avoid them altogether. As a result, Natasha is among tens of | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
thousands of local people breathing a sigh of relief. We did expect him | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
to make some kind of changes because things had not been well received, | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
but I did not expect that to be a complete U-turn, which is great for | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
parents, working parents and makes me feel a lot more secure. The | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
outlook is not so good for Stormont generally. As the night of the wider | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
Autumn Statement will see day-to-day public spending feeling the squeeze | :07:06. | :07:06. | |
for years to come. The Stormont Executive had set | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
aside ?245million to cope with the Earlier today, | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
Finance Minister Arlene Foster told me they will now decide where that | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
money should be spent. That is a matter that we will have | :07:18. | :07:30. | |
to discuss. We thought there would be something on tax credits today | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
but there has been a complete change of direction so we now have to | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
decide what to do with that money. It is a ring fenced lot of money, | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
there is money set aside for welfare to the tune of ?345 million, but the | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
240 million that was set aside for tax credits we will have to discuss | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
how we can help people with that money. Does go into health, in the | :07:51. | :07:59. | |
welfare? I have to set a budget for 2016-17 based on the figures that | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
have prompted today and I have to set up at the end of January, so | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
there is not much time in which to have those discussions. | :08:06. | :08:17. | |
We had a cold snap last weekend and we are heading for another one for | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
this weekend. At the moment we are still in mild air begin with the | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
night it will be mainly dry with the cloud closing in through the night | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
to bring this down hill fog. Eventually, we will get its pieces | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
of rain and drizzle. Temperature is no lower than six or seven. In the | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
tomorrow, not a great deal of change. It will be dull and it will | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
be turning wetter. Initially, just misty and murky with patchy drizzle | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
with more persistent rain moving into the West Theatre in the | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
morning. The rain is edging across parts of the Republic, in towards | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
the West of Scotland. One or two showers for West Wales and the West | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
of England, but generally speaking dry weather. Some bright spots along | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
the east and south-east of England. Temperatures in double figures, some | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
out for the time of year. Northern Ireland can the afternoon the | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
rainbow trackers we were eastwards. Probably not clearing the East coast | :09:17. | :09:25. | |
until dusk or afterwards. Misty and murky, but milder 1213 degrees. | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
Enjoy them out weather because as we head into Friday this is the first | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
sign of the change. A weather front moving in, bringing heavy spells of | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
rain and some quite squally winds. It is the boundary between the mild | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
air that we have an colder air coming in of the Atlantic. On Friday | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
onwards it will turn cold, temperatures following with wintry | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
