Hello and welcome to BBC Newsline. in Scotland. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
60 jobs are to go at Harland and Wolff. | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
The engineering firm which repairs and refurbishes vessels and oil rigs | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
is blaming the move on a downturn in the offshore oil and gas sector. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
The move means the company will lose a third of its permanent workforce. | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
Discussions are to get underway with the unions. | :00:25. | :00:33. | |
It. We are working with government to see what we can do. We believe | :00:34. | :00:42. | |
government should step in. This is a short-term issue, 5-9 months of | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
training, three invest NI and others. These jobs could be | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
maintained in the long term. A 35-year-old woman's been arrested | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
in connection with the attempted murder of a prison officer | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
in East Belfast last Friday. A bomb partially exploded under | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
the 52-year-old's van Police have been given more time | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
to question three men Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
was one of four politicians The outgoing Taoiseach Enda Kenny | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
was also put forward. The 32nd Dail has been meeting | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
for the first time after last But as expected there's been | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
no government elected. Here's our Dublin | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
correspondent Shane Harrison. A new Dail, talk of a new beginning | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
and lots of new TDs. Though some harder to | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
recognise than others. And this advice to the new members | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
from a veteran politician, even if he's only about to start his | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
second term as a Dail deputy. Remember who you are, and who you | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
represent, we are here for Ireland, not for party political advantage, | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
we are here for the people Inside the chamber, | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
the first serious business - the election of a Ceann Comhairle, | :01:56. | :02:06. | |
or Speaker, for the first time There were four candidates but one | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
winner, Fianna Fail's Sean O'Fearghaill, who signalled that | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
political reform and more powers for ordinary TDs would be the order | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
of the day on his watch. Disagreement is the beating heart | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
of democracy but argument chamber and | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
mutual respect is the foundation of Fine Gael chose their | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
leader, Enda Kenny. Fianna Fail speakers | :02:35. | :02:43. | |
nominated Micheal Martin. As leader of the largest All-Ireland | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
political party and as one of the architects of the Irish peace | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
process, Gerry Adams has consistently displayed qualities of | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
strong leadership, courage and But the radical left said | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
they couldn't support Mr Adams because Sinn Fein imposed austerity | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
on Northern Ireland and got An Independent TD accepted no | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
Taoiseach would be elected today but said the people | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
couldn't wait indefinitely. I don't want to start talking about | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
Civil War politics, the Sinn Fein, IRA or whatever, but 158 people here | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
have been voted in by the people of Ireland to form | :03:28. | :03:37. | |
a government, so do it. are unlikely to be repeated when the | :03:38. | :03:38. | |
Dail sits again. Not all politicians, it seems, | :03:39. | :03:50. | |
are yet musical brothers. The Independent TD Mick Wallace has | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
called for any new government in the Republic to hold an inquiry | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
into the Nama controversy. He first made allegations | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
about fixers fees paid out in relation to the sale | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
of Nama's Northern Ireland portfolio In an interview with tonight's | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
The View programme he said all the parties must stand | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
by their pledge to Fianna Fail called for an enquiry. | :04:10. | :04:24. | |
Sinn Fein called for an enquiry. The majority of the Independence called | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
for an enquiry. The only ones who didn't want an enquiry or so they | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
said were thinning guile and labour. They will not be a new government | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
without some people -- Fine Gael. If they do not initiate an enquiry they | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
have no credibility. And you can see more of that | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
interview on the View which is live Two men charged in connection | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
with the theft of a fire engine in Larne at the weekend have | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
been released on bail. The vehicle crashed into a number | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
of homes and cars in the town Like a trailer for the next Hangover | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
movie - that's how a solicitor for one of two men accused | :04:59. | :05:06. | |
of stealing a fire engine from Larne fire station described | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
the destruction in the town. The two men accused of involvement | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
applied for and were granted bail at Ballymena Magistrates' | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
Court today. The court heard that the alleged | :05:17. | :05:17. | |
driver, 19-year-old Ross Clarke of Fairway in Larne, | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
has a learning disability and had never driven a vehicle before, | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
while his co-accused, 66-year-old Robert Duffin | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
of Green Link in the town, allegedly had a fascination for blue | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
lights and that the men had been involved in making 20 hoax calls | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
to the Fire Service. The court was told one | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
of the accused is to reside in Newry, to which the judge | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
said he hoped A woman has been assaulted during a | :05:42. | :06:00. | |
burglary in North Belfast. Three men broke into a house at around 11pm | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
last night before making off in a car. Two children were in the | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
property but no one was seriously injured. | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
A dad has told BBC Newsline his child is only alive today | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
because of the help they got from the mental health charity Fasa. | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
As we reported on last night's programme the organisation - | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
which employs 60 people and has several branches - | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
For more than 20 years, Fasa has helped the desperate, | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
My child would not be alive today without them. | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
Now they're battling for their own survival. | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
Yesterday, Fasa announced it was effectively closing - | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
In its last set of accounts, questions were raised | :06:39. | :06:46. | |
An organisation which is the victim of our own success, we have grown to | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
deal with the demand on the ground with our communities and we have had | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
to use our own funding to cover those services and can no longer | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
We have significant job losses. There are countless service users | :07:00. | :07:20. | |
whose services have been taken away from them very suddenly. This will | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
be a crisis for all those individuals. | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
Last year, it opened its most ambitious project to date - | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
the Nightingale Centre in East Belfast, | :07:34. | :07:34. | |
One parent, who didn't want his own voice used, | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
You're not treated in there as a number and you're not given | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
You're treated as a child, as a human being. | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
How bad were things with your child before he went there? | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
My child before he went to Fasa was taking drugs on a weekly, | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
Diazepam, sleeping tablets, blues, yellows, things like that. | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
When he started talking to Fasa and engaging with Fasa | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
and feeling safe with them, he went off the drugs completely. | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
Meetings will continue over the coming days to try | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
and save the group, but anyone who needs help now is being asked | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
to contact Lifeline Counselling Services or the Samaritans. | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
Police and animal welfare officers are appealing for information | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
about an attack on a family pet in the Hillsborough area of County | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
Tiger, a young tabby cat, is suffering third degree burns. | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
You may find some of the pictures in Martin Cassidy's report disturbing. | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
Home and taking the first steps in his recovery, | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
after a horrifying attack which has left this long-haired tabby | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
Tiger's owner was too upset to appear on camera but described | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
how she found her injured pet lying at the front door. | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
The vet said what he thinks has happened is that they threw | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
an accelerant up his back and then they lit him, | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
so when they lit him, the fire poofed out over him and put | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
itself out, but all the damage is on his back legs, | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
on his back, he has no fur or whiskers on that ear there. | :09:07. | :09:14. | |
While Tiger's vet has been able to treat the burns and provide pain | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
relief, police say it's hard to understand why someone would do | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
I had to phone my childminder and tell her I'd be late. | :09:22. | :09:34. | |
I didn't know if he would come home last night, but thankfully he's | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
home, and with a lot of love and care and possibly his friends, | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
Just a few hours ago, it was to hard to know | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
if he would pull through, but after a reassuring cuddle | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
at home, Tiger suddenly starts to eat, a sure sign | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
The Environment Minister has apologised for a controversial | :09:57. | :10:06. | |
comment he made about abortion at a women's event. | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
The SDLP MLA Mark H Durkan was criticised for remarks he made | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
at the launch of a women's manifesto in Londonderry yesterday. | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
Mark H Durkan said it was an attempt to bring a bit | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
He was speaking at the launch of a women's manifesto at this | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
When he talked about abortion, he said: "Let's address the elephant | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
in the room - or should that be the elephant in the womb?" | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
Stunned silence and an intake of breath. | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
The minister continued to speak around the issue, | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
as we were leaving the event numerous women told me how | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
This morning, Mr Durkan said his comments weren't funny. | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
I would like to withdraw those remarks and apologise. | :11:02. | :11:13. | |
I made a clumsy attempt to bring a bit of levity to the discussion and | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
I apologise for any offence caused. He said he didn't intend to offend | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
anyone, especially anyone going through the trauma | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
of a crisis pregnancy. As we heard earlier | :11:25. | :11:26. | |
in the programme - 60 jobs are to go | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
at Harland and Wolff. BBC Good Morning Ulster will have | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
further reaction to that announcement, plus | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
all the latest news. That's tomorrow from 6:30am | :11:34. | :11:34. | |

get the forecast now from Cecilia. Temperatures have reached 12 | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
Celsius on the North It will continue mild | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
over the next few days, but there's going to be | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
about more cloud around, The cloudier skies tonight | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
will mean a milder night. A few spots of rain here and there, | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
but most places will stay Unfortunately we have some rain | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
in the forecast tomorrow, but it should dry up | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
for many places this To begin with, some dry | :12:09. | :12:10. | |
weather in the east. Maybe even a bit of brightness | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
for a time, but it will become rather cloudy and damp | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
from the West. Lots of low cloud developing | :12:21. | :12:22. | |
over the hills as well. Some brightness Dublin | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
southwards tomorrow morning. Otherwise some patchy rain breaking | :12:25. | :12:25. | |
out across the Republic of Ireland. Rain slowly nudging | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
into the West of Scotland. For many parts of Britain, | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
maybe some early fog, but otherwise it should be | :12:31. | :12:32. | |
a fine day although still quite chilly, particularly | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
across parts of East Anglia. Tomorrow afternoon is mild, | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
cloudy, damp in Northern Could be a fairly keen breeze | :12:38. | :12:38. | |
in places, but it is coming up We keep the mild weather | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
on Friday night. Still some dampness around | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
initially on Saturday, Generally quite cloudy in most | :12:47. | :12:47. | |
places, but hints of practice will perhaps even | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
sunshine for Belfast On Sunday there is more | :12:52. | :12:52. | |
chance of seeing some Probably still quite | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
cloudy initially, but temperatures when the sun comes out | :12:57. | :12:58. | |
should hit the low teens. At the moment it looks | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
like high-pressure will keep things dry as we move | :13:02. | :13:02. | |
into the beginning of next week. Our next BBC Newsline is at 6:25am | :13:03. | :13:15. | |
