A 20-year-old woman has died in a crash in County Armagh. | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
The accident between a car and a lorry happened at around | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
3:30pm on the Legacorry Road in Richhill. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
She's the eighth person to die on our roads in the first month | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
The female driver of the car was taken to hospital | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Break across Northern Ireland in the last few weeks, it has been | :00:26. | :00:37. | |
horrendous. We wonder where it will end. Almost on a daily basis, there | :00:38. | :00:47. | |
are accidents. Just last week it was two young men. | :00:48. | :00:48. | |
And in Co Tyrone there has been a two-vehicle collision | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
The Moor Road, near Ashbrook Care Home, has been closed. | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
Naomi Long says she considered not returning to politics | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
after her general election defeat in East Belfast last May. | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
The Alliance deputy leader was tonight one of three candidates | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
chosen by the party to fight the seat in the forthcoming | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
But she admitted that it was only at Christmas that she finally | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
After me, I find myself very tired and exhausted. It had been a | :01:12. | :01:24. | |
bruising five years and I took the time to think about it and to thank | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
my passion because they did not want to come back simply because people | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
expected me to. I wanted to come back because I felt I had something | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
to contribute and there was something I wanted to do which I | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
felt could make a difference. After reflecting on that, I'm convinced | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
there are still work to be done and is still a | :01:43. | :01:53. | |
role for the Alliance Party in the assembly and I want to be part of | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
that. I'm not somebody who could go off and have a nice life for myself. | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
There's been anger in Londonderry after two handguns were found | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
A controlled explosion was carried out on the vehicle which was parked | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
close to the graves of people who recently died. | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
Here's our North-West reporter, Keiron Tourish. | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
This has been a deeply distressing time for Fiona Kelly. Her husband | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
and father both died on the stately beaks ago. The car at the centre of | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
the cemetery alert was parked on the yards from her husband's grave and a | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
controlled explosion was carried out on it after two semiautomatic | :02:32. | :02:41. | |
handguns were found. Totally distressed. Disgusted. | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
Saddened that someone would come to a cemetery where people are supposed | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
to be resting in peace. In the past, people have never bothered anybody | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
who died. Why now? What is it all for? It is terrible that people are | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
coming to see the graves of loved ones and they couldn't even get in | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
yesterday. There has been a wave of revulsion | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
across the city as forensic teams carried out their follow-up | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
operation. My reaction has to be the same as | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
everybody else's. A sense of outrage. Why are these things | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
happening in this day and age in our communities? People who are abusing | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
the sanctity of the cemetery so as to maybe take life. I certainly have | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
to condemn it. The PSN I say they are delighted to | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
have taken to weapons of the streets in recent days that they say the | :03:45. | :03:55. | |
dissident republicans remain determined to kill Paul officers and | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
asked people to remain vigilant. -- police officers. | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
Northern Ireland's most senior organ transplant doctors have told the BBC | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
that Northern Ireland isn't ready yet for an opt-out donor system - | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
that's where the public have to register their wishes | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
not to donate their organs when they die. | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
The move, which is the opposite to the current system, | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
had been proposed by an Ulster Unionist MLA. | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
Here's our Health Correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly. | :04:19. | :04:19. | |
Imagine waiting for someone to donate you one of their organs. | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
Lucia Quinney knows all about it - in her 16 years she's had | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
All these different things that young people | :04:26. | :04:35. | |
start to think about that they'd want to do with their life. | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
With her own Facebook page and plans for a blog, | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
Lucia wants to encourage people to join in the conversation | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
She prefers the current system where people sign up | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
It means to know that a donor and possibly not even | :04:49. | :04:59. | |
the donor but the donor's family has made that decision, | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
To know it was something they wanted to do. | :05:04. | :05:13. | |
The organ donation debate is back in the headlines after an attempt | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
to change the law here to an opt-out system was blocked by DUP | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
and Sinn Fein members of the Stormont Health Committee. | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
The proposal brought by an Ulster Unionist MLA had meant | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
that those who didn't want to donate organs would need | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
But showing a united front, for the first time | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
Northern Ireland's most senior clinicians involved in this | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
speciality came together and told the BBC that the opt-out system | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
We have a good system, we want to do whatever will make it | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
better and we're not convinced just yet that | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
the public in Northern Ireland have the inside understanding | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
We are concerned it will make things worse. | :05:52. | :06:00. | |
Wales adopted the opt-out system in December last year. | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
With a population of over three million, so far, | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
around 86,000 of those have opted out. | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
According to campaigners, it's early days. | :06:07. | :06:07. | |
While health service showing overwhelming majority of people | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
believe in organ donation, actually doing something | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
about it is a completely different matter. | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
The challenge for health professionals | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
and politicians is coming up with a system which encourages | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
people to turn those thoughts into action. | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
The Deputy First Minister says he believes the Government | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
is reluctant to move to break the deadlock on legacy issues | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
In an interview on The View programme, Martin McGuinness | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
describes the Secretary of State as being "not keen" to resolve | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
I made the point when I had the conversation with Theresa Villiers | :06:40. | :06:53. | |
that if it was a matter of waiting until after the assembly elections, | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
what needs to be done between now and then, so that we are not then | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
facing the public with this prospect that there will be no talks. This | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
needs to be resolved immediately after the assembly elections. | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
And you can see that full interview with the Deputy First Minister | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
A Belfast landmark has opened the doors on a major expansion - | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
one which the city hopes will brings tens of thousands of new visitors. | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
The Waterfront Hall's extension has generated much debate over its looks | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
but, as our business correspondent Julian O'Neill has been finding out, | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
The new Waterfront has been taking shape for months. | :07:27. | :07:34. | |
?30 million has been spent doubling its size so Belfast | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
Today, organisers of major UK conferences got a first look | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
inside as the venue pitched for business by showcasing | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
I love it, it is so close to the airport, easy into the city. | :07:47. | :08:02. | |
I think the important thing is that it is | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
There's now room for conferences hosting 5,000 people at a time, | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
meaning Belfast can better compete for money-spinning national | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
30 conferences are already booked and there's confidence | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
We have found once we can get a client into the building and city, | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
They are so impressed by the venue, the welcome they receive | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
We took our decision when we didn't even see the plan so you can see | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
what a big risk it was but we're absolutely delighted. | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
Business visitors can spend big, and Belfast hopes that by 2020 | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
conferences will have delivered a ?100 million windfall. | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
Almost 20 years old, it marks the beginning of a new era | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
for the waterfront with new hotels springing up | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
There is a lot riding on the business it hopes to do. | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
The partner of the late motorcycle medic Dr John Hinds has said | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
she's hopeful that an air ambulance will be in place | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
A public consultation on the service was completed last week. | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
In her first interview since the death of Dr Hinds last | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
year, Janet Acheson has told BBC Newsline the service would be | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
a fitting tribute to the "flying doctor". | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
Special recognition for the work of her partner - | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
Janet Acheson receives an Irish Motorcycling Award | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
for the contribution of Dr John Hinds. | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
His death last July shocked the racing community. | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
Now Janet wants to see a lasting legacy for the flying doctor. | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
Nothing will compensate me for John's loss but he got a lot | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
of fulfilment out of saving people's lives and limbs at road racing. | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
And hopefully that will bring that for everyone | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
It is time-critical medical attention and that was the beauty | :10:09. | :10:17. | |
in some ways of Irish road racing because the medical team were there, | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
If you have your accident in the hills or in the mountains, | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
on a roadside somewhere that's not beside a hospital, | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
you don't get that time-critical intervention. | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
Dr Hinds lost his life in an accident while providing | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
medical cover during practice at the Skerries road races | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
If there is anything good that comes out of his death, | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
it is hopefully that there are lives saved that would otherwise have died | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
without it and that is the long-term goal. | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
In some ways this is much bigger than John. | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
John's unfortunate death has brought this into the spotlight in a way | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
that I don't think it would have been otherwise. | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
And hopefully in the not too distant future we | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
will come in line with the rest of Europe and the world | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
and have that life-saving service. | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
Thousands of children will get their transfer test results | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
this Saturday and on tomorrow's Good Morning Ulster programme | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
families affected and the teaching unions will be talking | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
about their experience of the selection procedure. | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
That's tomorrow on BBC Radio Ulster starting at 6:30am. | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
And with some really wintery weather out there, | :11:36. | :11:37. | |
let's have a look at the weather now with Angie. | :11:38. | :11:45. | |
We have lots of potential hazards and the weather over the next few | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
days, including our next named storm, Gertrude. Tightly packed | :11:51. | :12:00. | |
isobars bringing stormy conditions and spells of rain. We have another | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
couple of batches of rain to move through tonight. The risk of | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
localised flooding particularly in the West. We see those winds gusting | :12:09. | :12:16. | |
up to 70 or 80 mph. They are potentially damaging and an amber be | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
prepared warning is in place. There could be power lines down and main | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
structural damage. The highest winds tomorrow are still during the | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
morning time. Eventually the skies brightened. In the meantime, the | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
weather front moves across England and Wales as a band of showery rain. | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
It brightens up across northern England, Scotland and Ireland with | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
those Boston showers turning when three of the Scottish Highlands. | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
Quite stormy for the northern isles letter on. For Northern Ireland, | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
still quite a blustery afternoon. You could see gusts up to 60 mph. | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
Plenty of squally wind. Even colder tomorrow night and into Saturday. | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
Sleet and snow forecast and icy conditions. We could see blizzard | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
conditions and any early warning for snow is in the forecast. | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
Our next BBC Newsline is at 6:25am during Breakfast here on BBC One. | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
