Tonight's top stories: The Londonderry man who went | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
to Syria is found not guilty on | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
The jury could not reach a verdict on three | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
The latest on the renewable heat controversy. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Now it emerges tens of thousands of pounds | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
have been paid out to dormant companies. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Police raid farms on both sides of the border as new figures | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
And the debate continues over the border, | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
Both British and Irish governments agree there should be no | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
And also on the programme: The rugby game between two grammar schools | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
The Northern Ireland executive did not agree its Budget before the | :00:51. | :01:03. | |
collapse of the Assembly. I am in Downpatrick to find out what that | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
means for those helping vulnerable people. | :01:06. | :01:06. | |
I will be back with the details along with the | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
A jury in Londonderry has been discharged after failing to reach | :01:14. | :01:21. | |
a verdict, on three charges, in a case linked to alleged | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
Eamon Bradley, who's 28, from Melmore Gardens in the city, | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
was found NOT GUILTY of having explosives with intent | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
However, the jury told the judge they couldn't reach a verdict | :01:33. | :01:41. | |
on charges of attending a terrorist training camp and receiving training | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
in the making or use of weapons for terrorism. | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
Eamon Bradley said he got on a bus in Derry three years ago, travelled | :01:48. | :01:58. | |
to Dublin and then got a flight to Istanbul. And that he said he | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
crossed the border into Syria to help rebel fighters in the war. His | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
interviews with the police were read to the jury during the trial. This | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
trial is still down to a number of issues, among them was Eamon Bradley | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
recording facts when he told detectives he went to Syria to help | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
rebels or was he a fantasist who might never have been in Syria at | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
all? The prosecution say Eamon Bradley told the truth about the | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
events in question and that there was no evidence he was a fantasist | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
or that he makes things up. But questions were raised about details | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
of what it told the police. On the one hand, he said he went to Syria | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
to join the Army of Islam and said he fought in three battles, two | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
against Government forces and one against IS. But he said he never | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
fired a shot, never used a grenade and hid under the sun -- under a | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
tree during the battles. The jury deliberated for five hours and when | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
it returned, they found Eamon Bradley not guilty on three charges | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
of high explosives. Then they resumed their deliberations and a | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
short time later returned to tell the judge they could not reach a ten | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
to one majority verdict on the three charges. As a result of the hung | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
jury on the three charges of attending terrorist training in | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
Syria, this case will now go back to the Public Prosecution Service. They | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
will then decide if there should be a retrial on these three charges. | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
A judge has said it would be premature to hold the trial | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
of man who's on the run without him being present. | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
Damien McLaughlin from Ardboe faces charges in connection | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
with the murder of the prison officer David Black in 2012. | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
He was due to go on trial next week but hasn't been seen | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
David Black was killed on his way to work. The following month, Damien | :03:42. | :03:57. | |
McLaughlin was arrested and charged in connection with the killing. The | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
40-year-old from Ardboe faces a number of charges, including aiding | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
and abetting the murder which was claimed by dissident republicans. He | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
was granted bail in May 2014, but in November last year, he stopped | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
reporting to police. He has not been seen since and a European warrant | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
has been issued for his arrest. His trial was due to begin here on | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
Monday and today, a prosecution barrister made a highly unusual | :04:23. | :04:31. | |
application that the trial should proceed in the absence of the | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
accused. He said it appeared that the man had absconded ahead of a | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
pending trial. Mr Justice Tracy said he was mindful of the fact that | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
delays in this case are causing distress to the family of the | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
deceased. The given the ongoing investigations and fact a European | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
arrest warrant has been issued, it would be premature to proceed with | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
the trial in the absence of the accused. That decision will be | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
reviewed again at the end of April, unless that is, Damien McLaughlin is | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
arrested or hand himself in. You're watching BBC Newsline, | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
still to come on the programme: We join a cross-border police | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
operation targeting the theft It's emerged that | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
a number of companies registered as being dormant | :05:07. | :05:16. | |
have been claiming tens of thousands of pounds | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
from the renewable heat scheme. A BBC programme has obtained a list | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
of all recipients which is currently Our business correspondent | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
Julian O'Neill joins me. The Nolan programme | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
obtained this list. Well, this list was obtained by the | :05:28. | :05:42. | |
Nolan programme and enlist every beneficiary under the scheme and how | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
much they have been paid. It is the same lift the Department for the | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
economy has wanted to publish but has been prevented from doing so in | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
full by a court injunction. Some of the information contained is very | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
interesting. It shows a small number of dormant or inactive companies | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
have been getting receipt of tens of thousands of pounds under the | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
scheme. It also shows that one company received a colossal quart of | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
?1 million for running just one of boiler over a period of 18 months. | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
This is many, many, many times what should be possible to claim for one | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
boiler, even if it was running 24 hours a day. | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
in the context of what's already known about the RHI scandal? | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
Bred we already knew the scheme was badly designed and overgenerous and | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
I think these revelations will add to the sense it was also being | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
abused. We know that fraud is suspected and the audit office told | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
us that in a report a number of months ago and I think this will | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
simply adds to questions about the validity and legitimacy of some | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
payments. The programme did ask companies for an explanation. They | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
were not given a one and threatened with legal action should they choose | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
to name the companies. I think we will get some answers in the months | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
ahead. Remember, there will not just be a public inquiry, but the | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
Department for the economy has pledged to have an audit on every | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
boiler and every single payment. Thank you. | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
A man's in his 20s is recovering in hospital after he was shot | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
The attack happened on the Falls Road last night. | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
Richard Morgan's report begins with the moment a bystander nearby | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
recorded the gunshots on a mobile phone. | :07:27. | :07:37. | |
A's believed that was the moment a man was shot in both legs. It was | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
recorded on the mobile phone of a passer-by who was filming a car | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
doing handbrake turns on the Main Falls Road. The shooting happened | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
further down the road at an alley on the opposite side of the jobs and | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
benefits office. The mobile phone pictures clearly record for macro | :07:58. | :08:06. | |
shots. -- four shots. The victim was aged in his 20s and police were | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
called to the scene at about 8:30pm. The man was taken to the nearby | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
Royal Victoria Hospital where he is said today to be stable. One woman | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
who lives close by said she ran out of her house when she heard the | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
gunfire and saw the man being put into an ambulance. The police today | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
appealed for anyone who may have witnessed the shooting to contact | :08:27. | :08:27. | |
them. Coming up on the programme before | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
seven: We find out how a community scheme in Downpatrick is affected | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
by the Assembly's collapse. The Republic's Foreign Minister has | :08:33. | :08:43. | |
said it would be counterproductive to try to get a special Brexit deal | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
for Northern Ireland. Sinn Fein, SDLP and Alliance have | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
all proposed a special status which would mean Northern Ireland | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
staying inside the EU Charlie Flanagan has now ruled that | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
out, but says the Irish Government will work for arrangements | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
which recognise Northern Here's our Economics | :09:01. | :09:01. | |
and Business Editor John Campbell. Last June, the UK voted to leave the | :09:02. | :09:19. | |
EU, the Northern Ireland voted to Remained. We are leaving anyway said | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
the Prime Minister. Brexit means Brexit. Some part is to special | :09:23. | :09:30. | |
status deal which would say those stains IDU released the single | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
market. In October, the Assembly voted against such a deal, but Sinn | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
Fein, the SDLP and Alliance have not given up. Sinn Fein are raised the | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
matter yesterday evening. The Republic's Foreign Minister said the | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
whole idea is counter-productive. The reality is of the unique | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
circumstances of the Ireland of Ireland, concept of terms like | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
special status give rise to serious concerns for the EU partners. This | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
would risk reminding -- undermining the efforts of the Government to | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
specifically address and mitigate the very real impact is facing us | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
and the people of Northern Ireland in particular. That means the UK and | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
Irish governments are now on the same page. The Secretary of State on | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
Tuesday. To other concepts of Northern Ireland remaining within | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
the EU when the whole of the UK's leading, well, I do not see how that | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
works, which is why I have made comments about special status. But | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
what I does not it is their particular circumstances, very | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
relevant issues in Ireland that we do need to and will approach in the | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
negotiations to come. So there will be some attempt to tackle Northern | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
Ireland's specific issues, short of special status. That was echoed by | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
Mr Flanagan. This relates to the border, citizenship and | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
constitutions and human rights. The Government would also advocate the | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
continuation of a range of EU policy supports to Northern Ireland. | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
Meanwhile, the Irish Government has confirmed that that part of its | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
contingency plan it is identifying locations which could be used as | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
customs posts. There was just one individual queueing up this post | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
today. Both would like it is dead is quiet. It was misty and murky along | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
the border today. But Irish Government on Brexit is becoming | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
much clearer. It wanted the soft as possible Brexit with no physical | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
borders and no disruption to trade with the UK. But in our faces an | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
enormous diplomatic task. To persuade its EU partners that that | :11:37. | :11:37. | |
outcome is in everyone's interest. A cross border PSNI Garda | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
operation's targeted the theft New figures show a 9% | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
increase in rural crime and the Ulster Farmers' Union says | :11:43. | :11:50. | |
criminals are hitting local farmers on an almost daily | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
basis in some areas. Our reporter in the south east | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
Gordon Adair went with the police on a raid aimed at disrupting | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
criminal activity In the morning mist, a long convoy | :12:04. | :12:13. | |
of police vehicles makes his way into the South Armagh. Inside, | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
police officers suspect the farm act as a gay before stolen animals being | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
moved into or out of Northern Ireland and the Republic, across the | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
border. Garda offices of carrying out a similar operation. We are | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
targeting this farm in relation to role crime and stolen livestock. | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
Animals are examined and DNA samples taken. The operation to identify the | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
animals is still going on. But we have moved and it doesn't sound like | :12:47. | :12:54. | |
the many animals here. The police or concerned with all aspects of rural | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
crime, so they are trying to gain access and finding a rather stubborn | :13:00. | :13:07. | |
door. We've found a view issues in relation to property, but also the | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
property from the Republic of Ireland. They've established a few | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
offences in the Republic of Ireland and seized documentation in relation | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
to the sale of animals in the Republic. But we've also found Ian | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
Tikes, lying discarded here. They are not registered to this heard and | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
that will lead us to an investigation on another farm, not | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
that far away from here. Rural crime is estimated to cost the Northern | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
Ireland economy between ?3 million and ?4 million annually, with | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
hundreds of animals going missing every year as well as machinery and | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
fuel. When operations like this can't disrupt the activity of the | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
criminals, farming experts agree vigilance remains the key to | :13:53. | :13:53. | |
reducing rural crime. It's the quarterfinal of the rugby | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
Schools' Cup this weekend, but many of one team's players | :13:57. | :13:58. | |
are on a ski trip. Friends School in Lisburn appealed | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
to the Ulster Branch Schools Committee to reschedule the match, | :14:02. | :14:03. | |
but that was rejected last night. A 30 nil win over Grosvenor took | :14:04. | :14:31. | |
this cool took place down lobbying for many years. A quarterfinal. The | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
big game against Belfast Royal Academy will be played this | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
Saturday. But there is a problem, and nearly all of the first 15 who | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
helped get to the match will be on the field. That is because they are | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
on a ski trip and those return until Saturday night, hours after bland | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
kick off time which the Ulster brand schools committee which was the | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
competition says can't be changed. We did not know we would get this | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
far in the competition, so it's and unforeseen and exceptional event. It | :15:01. | :15:02. | |
would be so simple if they would only allow us to play the match two | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
days late. I know that messes up their itinerary a little, but it is | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
not insurmountable. These are professional rugby players or | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
grown-ups, they are kids and our hearts are broken. The school said | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
the ski trip was booked in 2015 and eight form to the committee -- | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
inform the committee they wouldn't be able to play. The school asked | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
the committee to consider changing the schedule. But the committee said | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
while it has complete sympathy with the players, the situation could | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
have been avoided by the school. It says the confirmed dates for this | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
season was a accommodation are clearly communicated to schools in | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
figure 2016 by signing the participation agreement last | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
November, all schools committed to the terms and conditions. Earlier | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
this week, the committee turned down an appeal from France. -- friends. | :15:53. | :16:04. | |
The rules and regulations that come with the committee, they are | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
sticking by it. But a bit of common sense would not go amiss to get this | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
fixture to go ahead. I've played in cup finals and is lads, that is | :16:11. | :16:12. | |
their Cup Final. This game on Saturday. It is very unfortunate. | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
The school has not yet said what it will do, but it is understood coming | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
early is not an option for the players. If they forfeit the game, | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
the school may not be able to enter the tournament next year. | :16:25. | :16:25. | |
Now, as part of our continuing election coverage, we are | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
profiling the leaders of the five main parties. | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
Tonight it is the turn of the Alliance Leader Naomi Long. | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
Our Political Correspondent Stephen Walker joined her on the campaign | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
The political waters of this part of the world are rarely stirred by the | :16:36. | :16:50. | |
Alliance Party. It is not the natural battle ground. The divan. | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
Naomi Long and her canvassing for votes, young and old. This is Naomi | :16:55. | :17:06. | |
Long's first election as party leader. In the last Assembly | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
election, the Alliance votes went down, so is this the election when | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
the alliance make a breakthrough? The party say this is an election | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
about how we should be governed. Let us vote on the questions that | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
matter, who can deliver good Government for Northern Ireland, who | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
can represent all of the people of Northern Ireland fairly and they | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
will put their interests first is that the party and personal | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
interests? What about those who say you had a chance of stinking | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
Government, but you walked away? We walked away from bad Government. I | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
would do it again after this election. If the only thing on offer | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
is another divisive carve up of power blocs with no ambition for | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
Northern Ireland. We will not walk away from governments, because we | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
will continue an opposition told them to account. So as Naomi Long | :17:56. | :18:04. | |
faces her first electoral test as leader, how should successfully | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
measured? If you come back with a low vote share than David Ford, is | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
that failure? Every election is different, so we have to gauge it in | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
terms of what happens each time. From our perspective, I'm not trying | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
to be different from Ford, but to be me. Last year, Alliance won eight | :18:22. | :18:29. | |
seats. So what will their strength the post-election? Is a shrinking | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
environment in terms of the overall number of Assembly seats. Eight | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
seats for Alliance in an Assembly of 90 is much more significant than if | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
there was a would you accept eight seats now? I'm quite happy to wait | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
until March the 2nd. Because I have great faith in the people of | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
Northern Ireland and I think in this case in the election they see an | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
opportunity to do something new. Convincing voters to try something | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
different is the alliance mantra. In a fortnight, we will discover if | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
they succeeded or whether the political landscape remains | :19:05. | :19:05. | |
unchanged. Stephen Agnew spoke of his party's | :19:06. | :19:25. | |
manifesto launch in Belfast. They believe Stormont has become a byword | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
for this function to it by crisis after crisis. Stephen Agnew has | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
called for a constitutional convention to be established after | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
the March election. The Green Party is offering 18 candidates across | :19:40. | :19:41. | |
Northern Ireland to change the face of politics. We want to end the | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
waste opportunities and give people back their voice. This in the | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
traditional pot to destroy the Good Friday Agreement we want to reform | :19:53. | :19:53. | |
and review and revitalise it. The TUV leader Jim Allister has | :19:54. | :19:54. | |
called for more transparency over the names of those who have received | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
payments from the controversial The Traditional Unionists have taken | :19:58. | :19:59. | |
a leaf out of the US President Donald Trump's book, | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
calling their Assembly election The manifesto says the Renewable | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
Heat Incentive scheme is just the latest in a series of Stormont | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
scandals which the party has been It has been incredible incompetence | :20:13. | :20:29. | |
and I think people are rightly angry about that. They look at the fact it | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
is still costing ?85,000 a day. They recognise that the three nurses for | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
year, multiply that by everyday and you can see we would begin to tackle | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
the great deficit in our health service. But instead, we want to | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
squander it in the manner which it has been wasted. | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
There's still a lot of uncertainty over what's going to happen | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
voluntary and community groups funded by Executive | :20:58. | :20:58. | |
which didn't agree its budget before it collapsed. | :20:59. | :21:00. | |
With this financial year coming to an end, they have already warned | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
that some staff face the prospect of being laid off. | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
Donna Traynor paid a visit to an initiative in Downpatrick | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
to see the sort of work that's in jeopardy. | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
This hub is a shared space. Home to start a music groups under voluntary | :21:16. | :21:23. | |
service for vulnerable people. But because of that funding limbo, by | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
the end of next month, this place will be empty. I've been inside to | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
talk to one of the organisers of a counselling and mentoring service. | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
And also to a young man who says his life has been turned around because | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
of the work it does. We deal with people with mental health problems | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
and social isolation and evictions. We provide them with artist therapy, | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
group mentoring, one-to-one counselling, suicide intervention | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
and crisis intervention, all within the one place. We have no Government | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
funding at all in place and people do their furniture to as and all | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
sorts of broken down bits and pieces and we put them forward for members | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
and we tell them let's see what we can make out of this. There are also | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
restoring confidence and in an open and safe environment where they can | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
talk about their health problems and addictions and you can speak to all | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
of them and they will tell you they are alive today because we are here | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
and this service is here for them. I came here in 2040 with drug and | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
alcohol problems and I was involved in crime, too. I knew everything bad | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
in my life came from drugs and I, self into a rut I could not get out | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
of alone. So when I stepped in through that front door, by | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
livestock to coming back to normal. -- my life started coming back to | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
normal and I would go home feeling brilliant, I was going out, doing | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
things, meeting people and see what addictions I had and I knew there | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
was a way out. I knew I had a second chance to do something good with my | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
life instead of it falling apart. How was the change made a difference | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
to not only you, the job family? I have a life now. My day-to-day life | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
before was drugs. Now I can get to be make my own decisions and get up, | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
go to work without them -- without relying on drugs. My family just | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
can't believe how far I've come in the last couple of years and they | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
are not always worrying now about me. They are now at ease. They are | :23:34. | :23:45. | |
so proud of me and the fact I've changed my life about. Two and a | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
half years ago, I was nowhere and I was nobody. | :23:52. | :23:52. | |
The Department for the Communities told BBC Newsline that the Social | :23:53. | :23:54. | |
Enterprise Hub pilot project in Downpatrick and in other | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
areas had been extended following a positive evaluation. | :23:58. | :23:59. | |
But that future support has not yet been agreed. | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
Boxing and negotiations for a third fight between the Belfast man | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
Carl Frampton and the WBA featherweight super-champion | :24:08. | :24:09. | |
Leo Santa Cruz may be about to take a new twist. | :24:10. | :24:11. | |
The Association's president has revealed it may intervene | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
if the to fighters' camps can't reach a deal. | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
Gilberto Heysus Mendoza is considering a mandatory order | :24:22. | :24:23. | |
for the fighters to clash for a third time. | :24:24. | :24:25. | |
That order could come as early as next week. | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
Frampton wants to face Santa Cruz in Belfast but the champion's team | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
After a promising start, it is now pretty miserable. But the weekend is | :24:39. | :25:03. | |
shaping up to be fairly dry. Especially during daylight hours. | :25:04. | :25:11. | |
Here are the last few frames of our local weather radar. The rain is | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
becoming lighter. Heavy bursts should ease off. There will still be | :25:16. | :25:26. | |
dampness around, that any heavy rain will have edged away. Mist and low | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
cloud by the end of the night. But it is mild. To begin on Friday, it | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
will be dull and damp. It should improve. A good part of the day is | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
fairly dry. Dull, drizzly weather initially. Mist and low cloud, foggy | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
and murky, be brightening up as the morning goes on. Not promising lots | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
of summer, but skies will lift a bit. Lunchtime temperature should be | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
11-12 . Not too breezy. A dry 11-12 . Not too breezy. A dry | :25:56. | :26:05. | |
Later in the day, we are expecting a few showers to drift up from the | :26:06. | :26:13. | |
south. A little dampness by the end of the day and wetter tomorrow | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
night. The breeze picks up. Most rain eases off again toward the end | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
of the night. As far as the weekend goes, we have early rain on Saturday | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
and a bit of rain late on Sunday. In between go, dry. Temperatures above | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
average. That rain moves away on Saturday morning. Skies brightened | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
up. Much of the day is dry, reasonably bright. If you're going | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
to the match on Saturday afternoon, it will be warmer than it was. 'S | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
match and it should be dry. Temperatures of 12 degrees. Sunday, | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
dampness first thing. Otherwise, the wet weather holds off till later the | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
day. We will keep the mild weather pattern into the start of next week. | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
Fairly dry conditions this weekend. Mild, too. Our main story is a game: | :27:08. | :27:18. | |
a Londonderry man who went to Syria has been found not guilty on three | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
terrorism charges. The jury could not reach a verdict on three other | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
charges. The trial of this man in connection with the murder of a | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
prison officer will not go ahead as planned next week, as he is on the | :27:32. | :27:32. | |
run. Our late summary | :27:33. | :27:33. | |
is at half past ten. You can also keep in contact with us | :27:34. | :27:34. | |
