another awe-male leadership team from being located. Here on BBC One, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Health managers have urged the public to only visit hospital | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
There's been a big rise in the number of patients at E and D | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
departments - up 25% at the Ulster, 17% at Antrim | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
Every year more people go through the doors | :00:19. | :00:29. | |
It looks like 2016 will be no exception. | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
At the weekend a surge in numbers prompted the Health | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
and Social Care Board to issue a public plea. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
It said all emergency departments were under a "high level | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
of pressure" and people shouldn't attend unless their "symptoms | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
Here at the Ulster Hospital, the situation was described | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
as extreme, with 25% more attendances | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
But those working on the front line say the situation was exacerbated | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
That absolutely puts pressure, especially on nursing staff, | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
but patients who are waiting for prolonged periods of time | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
That detracts from nursing staff and medical staff | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
for front line care for patients presenting and will ultimately | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
eat up the number of cubicles available to see patients. | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
This evening around 17 patients are waiting in the Ulster's | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
emergency department for a bed on a ward. | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
The problem is some of those beds can't be freed up until nursing | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Discharge delays are an issue across Northern Ireland. | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
It's been highlighted in figures obtained by an MLA which show | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
the numbers waiting over eight weeks for a care package. | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
Across the North, 229 people waiting to get back home with care packages | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
across the North. That did shock me. | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
On occasion the delay can be that there | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
is simply no nursing home or residential home bed available | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
for the patient, on other occasions it can be | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
because it is not possible to secure a domiciliary care package | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
that is appropriate for the patient's need and | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
The winter pressures experienced here and at other emergency | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
But with no cold snap so far this winter, it's possible | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
more pressure could come to bear in the weeks ahead. | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
The challenge for those in charge is meeting that need. | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
And there'll be an interview with the Health Minister, | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
Simon Hamilton, on Good Morning Ulster tomorrow morning. | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
A 75-year-old woman has died following a crash involving two cars | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
on the A2 between Bangor and Holywood. | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
A man driving the second car was also taken to hospital. | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
His injuries aren't life-threatening. | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
The road was closed for several hours while the police investigated | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
the crash, which happened at Carney Hill | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
There were long tailbacks and traffic diversions. | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
The Met Office has issued a warning of more heavy rain tonight, | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
for eastern and southern parts of Northern Ireland. | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
The wet weather has affected traffic and travel over the last couple | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
of days, with heavy flooding in some rural areas. | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
Parts of the Republic have again been very badly hit, | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
Taking the plunge after four weeks of flooding. | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
This is near Lisnaskea in County Fermanagh. | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
The woman driving the car has three children and says she's no choice | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
In recent days she's been forced to buy a new car - and a dinghy - | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
Although you cannot see it in the video, alongside that laying there | :03:28. | :03:42. | |
is a deep drain and if you go off the road or if the Jeep is pushed | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
off the road, that is it. You can see it is nearly floating. It | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
worries me but at the end of the day the bills are still coming in and | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
have to be paid. Over the weekend dozens of roads | :03:58. | :03:58. | |
were closed and some train Today, however, almost everything | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
was operating as normal. We are aware a number of roads have | :04:02. | :04:12. | |
been flooded in western Fermanagh. We have staff on stand-by 24 hours a | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
day to deal with flooding incidents and have been doing that the last | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
number of days. The situation off the roads, though, | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
is proving difficult for some. This was just outside | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
Lisburn this afternoon - heavy farming vehicles struggling | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
in the soaking fields. This cemetery in East Belfast | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
was forced to close early The heavy rainfall is causing | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
problems here but it's nothing In recent days more than 260 | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
homes have been flooded, Today the Irish president visited | :04:35. | :04:55. | |
some of the worst affected areas. More rain is forecast this week and | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
services on both sides of the border will remain on stand-by over the | :05:02. | :05:02. | |
coming days. Belfast City Council votes tomorrow | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
night on whether to invite the Republic of Ireland football | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
team to a reception marking qualification to the Euro | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
finals this summer. It would be a joint event | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
with the Northern Ireland team. But some councillors | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
are against the Republic's inclusion as BBC Newsline's | :05:15. | :05:15. | |
Mark Simpson reports. Two teams in green | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
and one big question - should Northern Ireland | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
and the Republic both be invited to Belfast City Hall | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
for a fond farewell The reality of this | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
city is that people have an allegiance to Ireland | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
in its entirety, other people don't and that's fair enough so this | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
is an acknowledgement of The double reception was proposed | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
at the council by the SDLP Belfast is supposed to be open | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
for everybody and that's what we're The final vote on the double invite | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
will take base at a council meeting tomorrow night and Unionists say | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
they'll be voting no. Belfast City Council has already | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
held a successful reception for the Northern Ireland | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
team in November and this was well attended | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
by the entire squad, coaches and management, | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
so to now hold another civic reception takes away | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
from that original event, Regardless of what happens over | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
the civic reception tomorrow night, will councillors be cheering | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
for both teams this summer? Unless they're playing | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
Northern Ireland I will certainly support all teams | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
from the British Isles I will support the | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
Republic of Ireland and hope they do well | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
in the tournament. Will you be supporting | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
Northern Ireland in the Euros? I'll be wishing them | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
well, I wish them I support Ireland, that's my team, | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
but that's fair enough. I would like to see anybody | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
with a green shirt do well. In football terms, that | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
sounds like a score draw. Almost 12,000 retired police | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
officers and police widows in Northern Ireland did not | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
receive their pension today because of a failure | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
in processing payments. The police said there | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
was a technical error It's hoped that payments should be | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
in the pensioners' 2016 is a year of centenaries, | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
anniversaries of two significant events in history - | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
the Easter Rising To set the scene we have reports | :07:28. | :07:28. | |
this week from Mark Simpson in Dublin and Mervyn Jess | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
in northern France. 100 years on from the 1916 Easter | :07:35. | :07:51. | |
rising, what is being done to mark the centenary? I've been finding | :07:52. | :08:01. | |
out. 100 years after the Battle of the Somme, our report from the | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
trenches of the 32nd Ulster division here in France. | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
And that's from tomorrow here on BBC Newsline. | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
What's the weather going to do to us over the next couple of days? | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
We have more wet weather to get through tonight. We still have a | :08:20. | :08:29. | |
weather warning across many areas, especially the east and south-east, | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
until midnight. We then lose the warning but will continue to see wet | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
weather through the night and temperatures will dip to five or | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
six, so not especially Chile. Tomorrow stays unsettled, we can | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
expect more wet weather of the RSC, especially for parts of Antrim, | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
County Down and admire, drier conditions further west. It will be | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
quite unsettled, no weather warnings across Ireland but some for | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
Scotland, England, the south-west and south-east with spells of | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
sunshine in between. Quite windy in places, gusts coming in from the | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
east. Scattered showers will continue along eastern counties | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
tomorrow afternoon and evening, drier further west where we may get | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
sunshine, but in the evening most wet weather will give weight to | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
drier conditions overnight into Wednesday. It will be Chile with | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
temperatures falling below freezing in places, so a chilly but dry start | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
to weapon states but by the end of the day the rain returns from the | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
south, some of it heavy and persistent through Wednesday night. | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
Cooler conditions Thursday and Friday with sunshine but also some | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
scattered showers. Good night. But from me, good night. | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
during Breakfast here on BBC One. You'd better come in | :09:52. | :10:03. | |
with a brilliant product. | :10:04. | :10:07. |
