Don't forget, a first look at the papers over on the BBC News Channel. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
The police have described a gun attack in west Belfast | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
A patrol car's bullet-proof glass saved two officers | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
when they came under attack yesterday evening. | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
It's believed the weapon used could have been an AK-47 assault rifle, | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
previously used by dissident republicans. | :00:24. | :00:24. | |
Last night, a police officer stared certain death in the face | :00:25. | :00:35. | |
Two bullets smashed into the passenger side window of | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
The vehicle was parked in Rossnareen Avenue just before | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
seven o'clock last night as part of an ongoing investigation into | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
The gunmen opened fire with a heavy calibre weapon, | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
hitting the unmarked vehicle a number of times. | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
The two policemen sitting inside this vehicle were badly shaken up | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
But for the armour plating in the vehicle and the bullet-proof glass, | :00:55. | :01:02. | |
they would have been badly injured or killed. | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
The police believe up to eight shots were fired at the car, | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
and other bullets may have missed their intended target. | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
It was significant weaponry to bring into what is | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
Lots of housing, people trying to go about their normal business, | :01:13. | :01:23. | |
children walking about the street. | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
People here, they don't want this kind of action | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
They have made that very clear, and they are calling | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
on anybody who is involved in this type of thing to desist. | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
Last night's attempted murder attack also drew condemnation from | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
the First Minister and Deputy First Minister at today's | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
British Irish Council meeting in London. | :01:46. | :01:46. | |
If anybody is so mindless that they think that by going out | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
and attempting to kill two policemen that they are going to | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
change the course of the Executive and Assembly, they really are fools. | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
We are absolutely determined, we have an agreement, | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
I believe the whole of the community in Northern Ireland | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
and we will not be dragged back by these people. | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
A stolen black BMW car believed to have been used | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
by the gunmen was found abandoned and set on fire at Cluain Mor Drive | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
in the Springfield Road area of west Belfast. | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
Police are blaming dissident republicans for the shooting. | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
The police are treating as a hate crime an arson attack | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
Their car was destroyed and the house damaged. | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
Two children were inside, along with their mother | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
Community solidarity for a young mother, the victim of a deliberate | :02:33. | :02:44. | |
attack on her family car and her home. The woman and her two children | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
were asleep upstairs when the attack happened at around six o'clock this | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
morning. Shortly afterwards she spoke to me and described what | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
happened. My girls were sleeping in this room, I was sleeping in that | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
other room. I opened the door and started to scream when I saw the big | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
fire. I screamed, and my goals didn't know why. They got up from | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
bed and also started screaming. I really had a hard time with my | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
girls. She didn't have her husband at her side - key is in India | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
tending his father's funeral today. Grief in India compound did buy an | :03:28. | :03:39. | |
attack you're in Ireland. There are about 60 Indian families in and | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
around this area. They have been here for ten to 15 years, and most | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
work in local hospitals. They are either doctors or nurses. It is not | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
like we came for a few years. We came to live here. Our children are | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
born here, they go to schools and universities. The neighbours were | :03:58. | :04:11. | |
also stunned. Shocked, disgusted. Out working every day, doing nobody | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
any harm. Why in a body would target them, I don't know. For most local | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
children, this was a normal morning heading to school. For the two | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
children in this one, they were still being comforted at a | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
neighbour's coast. -- neighbour's house. | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
The Royal Children's Hospital in Belfast has had to cancel all | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
planned elective surgery because of a higher number of admissions. | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
The Belfast Trust says 12 beds in intensive care are near capacity, | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
and a theatre recovery unit is being converted to facilitate more beds. | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
The pressure is being blamed on an increase in cases of bronchiolitis, | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
a respiratory condition which can develop into a serious | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
Elective surgery will be reviewed daily. | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
A senior PSNI officer has settled an alleged discrimination case. | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
Will Kerr applied to become Deputy Chief Constable last year, | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
The board says the case been settled on mutually acceptable terms. | :05:05. | :05:15. | |
And will not now proceed to a hearing next week. | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
The police in Bangor say they need the help of the public | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
to catch those who attacked a community worker with a hammer. | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
The victim has thanked people who have supported him | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
following the assault, which he believes may have involved the UDA. | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
He is back at work and he is not backing down. Aaron McMahon and his | :05:30. | :05:45. | |
family have been overwhelmed by support since Wednesday night's | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
attack. He says he was targeted after criticising paramilitaries, | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
but he won't stop his community work and he won't be leaving anger. It we | :05:55. | :06:05. | |
can work, what does that tell the young people? Accept Euro rock? | :06:06. | :06:17. | |
Who was behind this attack? I believe a member of the UDA. Muscles | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
have been flexed the over flags and bonfires for some time. People have | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
been coming into this community from an outside area, a faction of the | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
UDA who have been trying to intimidate this community. Sam White | :06:37. | :06:45. | |
works for a restorative Justice group. He has condemned Wednesday | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
night's attack. The UDA are being blamed. What do you say? From | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
speaking to individuals and community workers, this is | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
completely untrue. That organisation had no part to play in that | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
whatsoever. The other question being asked today was whether police and | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
politicians could have done more to resolve the tension in the town. We | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
have had numerous meetings with the council, the PSNI. I myself as an -- | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
have numerous e-mails trying to organise meetings. The police are | :07:25. | :07:32. | |
out there daily, on the streets every day, we are patrolling this | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
district. We are protecting the community, keeping people safe, | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
bringing people to justice. Aaron McMahon says he has heard it all | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
before, but he hopes by speaking out at this time more will be done. | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
Rugby, and Ulster lost to Leinster in the Pro12 tonight | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
in a gruelling match at the RDS in Dublin. | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
The only try came from the home side, | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
in the latter stages of the first half. | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
Ulster kept battling and had possession | :08:07. | :08:07. | |
for almost the last three minutes of the game | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
in a search for the equalising score, but it was to no avail. | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
Now, finally, onto the weather prospects | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
Today's unsettled weather stays with us through the weekend. Double | :08:21. | :08:32. | |
pressure continues to bring in busting wind and outbreaks of rain, | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
especially on Saturday. Temperatures close to freezing. Some of the | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
scattered showers tonight will be following athlete and snow, | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
especially for high ground, maybe the touch for low-level areas but it | :08:46. | :08:53. | |
will not lie. It stays quite cold. Gusty winds continuing to Britain. | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
Outbreaks of rain from the morning, so we wet start to the weekend. It | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
will last through most of the day. For West areas of Britain, cloudy, | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
eastern areas better sunshine, but it will cloud over quickly. Cold | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
feeling for many areas tomorrow with a westerly winds and outbreaks of | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
rain. Northern Ireland looking at highs of setting, maybe 8 degrees. | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
Factoring in the wind and rain, it will feel at you degrees colder than | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
that. Sunday will be a better picture. It won't be completely dry. | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
There will be outbreaks of rain, but perhaps glimmers of sunshine as | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
well. Eight or 9 degrees are high on Sunday. Wind making it feel a bit | :09:40. | :09:47. | |
colder out and about. Into next week and the beginning of December, no | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
settled spell in the forecast just yet. | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
And that's it from us until 5:50 tomorrow evening. | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
In the meantime, you can keep up to date with news online | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
From all of us here on BBC Newsline, goodnight and have a great weekend. | :10:01. | :10:04. |
