The headlines this Thursday evening: It's emerged the Unilever price

dispute is impacting on more than 200 stores here -

A defendant accused of killing this man describes in court how

Christmas shoppers in Belfast are set to lose free city

centre parking this year and not everyone is happy.

Concerned. Yet again, keeping shoppers out rather than welcoming

them. The prison service has been criticised for how it has been

handling prisoners with mental health problems. I have been asking

what steps have been taken to improve the problem. This family

have been without wifi for 48 hours. Three... Two... One... We'll do it

for Friday. A row over supermarket products

in England is happening here too. Around 200 shops in Northern Ireland

are involved in the dispute over food prices with Unilever -

which has resulted in supply SuperValu, Mace and Centra shops

are no longer getting goods The same row involving Tesco

was resolved late this afternoon. Our business correspondent

Julian O'Neill joins us live Julian, is this identical to

the Tesco-Unilever stand-off then? It is exactly the same dispute that

has been making the headlines. Unilever manufacturers some of the

most well known products. Marmite, PG Tips, Pot Noodle. It has been

Tesc to remain profitable. Tesco has resisted this, so has Mace. About

200 stores in cities, towns, villages. But unlike Tesco, Musgrave

Group has decided it is not going to absorb the costs and pass them to

the customer, so Unilever is going to be refusing to supply them as of

Monday. They own 200 shops. One of the

largest retail groups at Ireland. I have seen a waiter, and they have

said that they are hugely dissatisfied with the behaviour of

Unilever. -- letter. It is going to take some time to resolve. The high

street retail is a hugely competitive market. Customers notice

these changes. We can probably understand why these shops wanted to

resist these increases. We have learnt that Tesco have resisted

this, but come to an agreement but Musgrave have said negotiations are

continuing. They have stressed that this is not a situation of the

meeting. And that prices rising have not been demanded.

A man accused of killing a friend broke down in court as he described

how he put the victim's body into a wheelie bin.

Giving evidence for the first time, Stephen Hughes denied murdering

Owen Creaney at a house in Craigavon in July 2014.

Stephen Hughes to the stand, first day of the defence team case. Under

questioning he gave his account of what happened at his house at July

2014. He said he was drinking with the victim Owen Creaney. And his co

accused. Answering a question, Stephen Hughes said that they had

had an argument, and he described looking away and then hearing a

thud. When he looked up, Owen Creaney was on the floor. He said

that he tried to grab her, and denied any involvement with the

assault. Owen Creaney died of injuries two days later. Stephen

Hughes said that it was the woman who first mentioned ugly then -- the

wheelie bin, and then described how they lay the bin, slid his remains

inside. Both next it was the turn of Shaunean Boyle's lawyer.

Shaunean Boyle's lawyer then referred to the past convictions of

Stephen Hughes, showing that he had a propensity for violence, to

convictions of assault against two women, one of them who was his

former partner who was pregnant. He also had convictions for assaults on

his father, children, and a police officer. Stephen Hughes said that

just because I have a history of violence does not mean that I

actually did what I'm sitting here today for.

A Newtownards man with alleged paramilitary links has appeared

in court accused of murdering a man in Coleraine last month

Our North East reporter, Sara Girvin, was at

Said was a heavy police presence as the 35-year-old window cleaner

Richard Dalziel appeared at court. It is said that the accused had

argued with the deceased, Mark Lamont, in a bar in September 26.

Richard Dalziel lift the bar with his girlfriend and went to the

house. Three men with faces covered forced into the property, minor

altercation and then the men left. But then there was a fight. A police

officer told the court that Richard Dalziel had jumped up and down on

Lamont's head. He left the scene but later handed himself into police, he

said it was a fight he had one. Mr Lamont died on Tuesday night. The

police said that Richard Dalziel had links to paramilitary organisations.

Richard Dalziel said that he did not deny the fighting but that it was

self-defence. The case is going to be held again later this month. --

heard. The skipper of a County Down trawler

that was almost sunk by a submarine last year has accused the Royal Navy

of playing Russian roulette with the fishing fleet

in the Irish sea. Unbeknown to them, the danger was

closing fast. It almost capsized. It was dragged backwards, she and the

crew more just terrified passengers. The nuclear powered submarine had

left Faslane on an exercise. Moving at speed and faced with dozens of

trawlers, they assist all the vessels as merchant shipping which

they could clear at depth. Not making any allowance for the nets.

It passed 30 before hitting me. Dip was going to happen. It could not

have navigated safety. It was Russian roulette. You can sum up

this report on several sentences. It was going too fast, and to deep

through the busy fishing ground. After three hours, they knew they

had snagged it, but it took the Royal Navy five months to admit. The

Royal Navy's rules say that they should give a wide berth to the

trawlers, so that they can see what is going on. If they hit one,

they're meant to stop and help. None of that happening. You can see that

the Navy have not engaged as much as they could have done, had they been

more co-operative then we could have produced a more detailed report

which would have helped safety in a better way. The Royal Navy has

apologised and acknowledge the incident, it has reviewed the rules

that they are supposed to operate by, put in place after a sub knocked

a trawler resulting in the loss of lives.

Christmas shoppers in Belfast are set to lose free city

Councillors voted against making fifteen hundred free

spaces available at night and at weekends in December.

The took the decision after Translink claimed the free

Our reporter, Michael Fitzpatrick, went to find out what shoppers

. People have been looking for these, driving round and round,

creating congestion and it was not good for anyone. With free parking

on the way out, Translink is reducing fares, increasing services.

The nearest train station is about six miles away. Two buses. That does

not make much difference. I think it is better with the car. I live in

the city selected these buses often. I am looking forward to that. The

final decision will be made at next month's council meeting. This

Belfast businessman thinks that those who have voted to end the

parking have got things wrong. I am concerned that this is yet again

another deterrent to keep shoppers out of Belfast. Instead of welcoming

them. Facilitating some extra car parking, do not forget this is just

wrong 5pm to the end of shopping, at Christmas. Last year, this was

designed to attract shoppers to the city centre, and away from

out-of-town centres. This year, councils are hoping that the

increased bus services will do the same.

The man in charge of Northern Ireland's high security

jail has said prisons are not suitable for dealing with people

We'll hear from the governor of Maghaberry prison shortly.

But intensely covered at the second part of the Listeners scheme. The

Listeners scheme, overseen by the prison service and The Samaritans

offer support to some inmates who have been trying to cope with the

pressures of serving sentences. I will be speaking to the Governor

about that. But a prisoner talks to the home affairs correspondent.

About how speaking to a fellow inmate has helped him survive. On

any date, about 20 prisoners are at these special observational cells,

because they are under risk of taking their own life. About one

quarter of the prisoners have mental health problems. This man was one of

them. I have called him John. He has served six years for manslaughter

after killing a man in a fight. Haunted by what he has done, his

mental health deteriorated and he has looked to the Listeners. I am in

for killing somebody. No hope. Turned to drugs. I had nobody to

talk to. I was just in the cell. Thinking about things. And when

things were really bad, how often will you talking to these name? At

my most point, probably talking about three times a week. That was

for a couple months. And how low were you? Felt suicidal. He said it

was easier to talk to another prisoner about his problems because

they understood what he was going through. He has not feel the need to

use the service for more than two years. If you happier, better about

myself. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. At that point I

had no plans. I was no hope. Just this former prisoner also used the

service. He has gone on to become one of the Listeners himself. He

served half of a 12 year sentence for drug-trafficking. Life in prison

is difficult. People do not understand. So many pressures. If

you have got all this anger and frustration it does not take much to

trigger that. But just went up to one of these days. When the

Samaritans launched the recruitment drive, he volunteered. He said the

fact that he had been using the service was helping him to help

people. Walking the walk, how do you know how I feel if you have not done

it. You know nothing about my life. But I know what has happened. And it

could have been somewhat, to something that you are going

through. I was able to relate. Michael completed a degree in

criminology will been behind bars. He plans to a PHD. Give the also

helps to train some of the volunteers working with prisoners.

Inmates with mental health problems need treatment from professionals,

so should the be here? I have been speaking to the governor. He has

given me his opinion about the Listeners service. I think it

provides support and it is valued by the prisoners and the staff.

Immediate support, immediately when the prisoner goes into crisis, and

it is a good sounding board for them to talk, completely non-judgemental.

I think if you think the population, about 900 then I would assess about

250 would have some severe mental health issues. It places enormous

stress on the prisoners, families, staff and partner organisations. Do

you the jail is being used as a think mental health waste bin?

People deposited here, rather than at a dedicated medical facility?

Irrespective of what condition someone has when the comment, --

they come in, they are human beings. We respond to the needs of every

individual. You only need a warrant to get in. I say no. Cannot anybody

who comes to the present I am going to exit, we will manage them and

deal with them, to the best of the ability. The prison service as they

would -- deals with criminals, I think we are dealing with criminals

and we're not mental ill nurses. So should those in need of the

treatment be in prison? Where would they go? What do you think? The best

place for treatment. When the population go to accident and

emergency they would expect to be treated by nurses, not somebody with

first aid qualifications. We have experience of dealing with more

liberal mental health. And when you have some extreme cases, prison

officers can struggle. Categorically, I can point to a

number of instances where we have seen place. I can think of some

prisoners, had it not been for the action of my staff that they would

have died. But you still have ongoing problems following critical

reports. How do you describe the level that has been given,

inadequate? I would not suggest that it is inadequate. We have to learn

from mistakes and progress. I think in terms of what I have seen, I have

seen a core of staff who care deeply. And that expands from prison

officers, to the south east trust. All of them, doing the best that

they can. How much easier would make your job if you had a dedicated

medical facility? It would make my job easier. Present, it is part of

society. These people, from society and vehicle back to society. The

listening services at prisons have helped some of the prisoners

suffering from anxiety and depression. But with male prisoners

eight times more likely to die from suicide, is this the best week to

help them? -- way. Now, could you live without wifi

for 48 hours? One family in Garvagh has been

trying - after I went to their home on Tuesday night and persuaded

them to turn it off. BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson is back

there tonight, to switch Tara. Your name is mud in this

house! It has been the longest to these for this family. What has it

been like? Holy arrears. Fun. Of all. And you are the youngest. That

tells the story. I have got good news. I am going to switch this back

on. But not just yet. We are going to look at the issue of wifi and

mobile technology. How it affects businesses.

Here's our Economics and Business editor John Campbell.

This is a business built on mobiles. They started selling cupcakes at the

market in Belfast. But it was when she started posting pictures on

Instagram that things began taking more. I was using harsh times, and

people could find me through that. It was one of most. Contacting me on

Facebook. I do a lot of seals. Social networking is a good way to

get and keep customers, but it also means that customers have certain

expectations. It is difficult work, it is not just the posting but it is

the emails. People expect you to be replying all the time. And the

majority of my day is spent at the kitchen. This is an altogether

bigger business. It is built on the growth in mobile devices. Turns over

about ?50 million every year and is hungry for more. It makes

applications used by people on the move, for maintenance men, helping

them become more efficient. This is what a worker would do. The company

expects more and more companies to adopt this technology. What should

workers be worried? Managers could have them under constant

surveillance? Always people going to be worried about technology, but we

are seizing employees one, two hours a day. That leaves and often, for a

sneaky break, cup of tea, a chat. But when they are on the job it

allows them to focus. That is more satisfying. In her job, This woman

tries to help people put mobile phones down. She is a mental

practitioner, helping companies reduce staff. We just give them a

break. Take a break from Facebook. It is not that Facebook is bad, the

internet, anything like that, it is just the relationship. It is how we

use it. And how we manage it. It seems inevitable that mobile

technology is going to feature more and more in working lives. That

should be liberating but it is going to take here for management to make

sure it does not become overwhelming.

No way he could go 48 hours without wifi. But the family have done it.

No no! Cheating? You said it has been unusual. Last night, I was

sitting down and had a cup of tea, and we were talking. It was unusual.

Go on! Put it on! And get your devices. People have said that they

could not do it. The neighbours, even the postman. But my digital

detox goes on. One more day. This is the happiest and most relieved

family in Western Europe. That is brilliant. Thank you to the family.

Staff at Belfast zoo are delighted at the arrival

Nearly two months old. It is on the critically endangered species list

but this is part of a breeding programme to try to keep them from

extinction. It is feared no more by 2030. From one baby gorilla to

another! Thank you. It has been a consistent story with the weather,

but that is going to change as we go to this weekend. But we have got 24

errors of this, and it is going to get some more showers. Going to

continue tonight. Tomorrow is going to be in the forecast again. As has

been the case, throughout this week if you want to see some better

conditions then you have got to go to the waist. As we go through the

day, temperatures of about 12 and 13. Lovell. Dry weather. It starts

to come round, at the south west and that introduces some weight with

her. The weekend is going to have some more significant showers. It

looks like it is going to break down, and introduce heavy bands of

rain. Some but the weekend is not going to be a total wash-out. It is

certainly going to be pretty heavy. By next week we're going to start to

see the breeze coming from the south west. Currently, one of the

hurricane is at Bermuda and we will see the effects of that. It is not

going to head towards a spot of just this going to make things more

uncertain. Thank you. Our late summary is at

half past ten. You can also keep in contact with us
