he was collected by a family member The mistake was realised a few hours | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
later around half past four. I want to apologise to the public | :02:05. | :02:15. | |
this morning for what is he very serious mistake on the part of the | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
prison service. It is the role of the service to hold those people in | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
care and on this occasion, we have failed in our responsibility. The | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
Brady serious situation has arisen. Mr Armour, who declined a request | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
for a television interview, has also apologised to the family | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
of Stephen Carson, He was shot dead in front | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
of his partner and young son in their home off | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
the Ormeau Road last year. Yesterday the police took | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
the unusual step of publishing this photograph of Michael Smith | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
in an appeal for his whereabouts. He's said to be dangerous | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
with a history of violence. The police are urging | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
the public not to approach him Michael Smith was last seen | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
here in Finaghy around two o'clock More than 48 hours | :02:56. | :03:04. | |
later, and the police Whilst the police have | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
launched a man hunt, It says procedures will be robustly | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
reviewed to ensure this The judge overseeing the inquiry | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
into the renewable heat incentive scheme has said he won't be | :03:16. | :03:24. | |
reporting within months, The first public session | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
of the inquiry is due in April, but it could be some time before | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
witnesses are called Here's our Agriculture | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
and Environment Correspondent The Senate chamber at Stormont | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
will be the setting for a drama that This is where witnesses will come | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
to tell what they know about the setting up and running | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
of the Renewable Heat Today the man in charge set | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
out his housekeeping rules. Sir Patrick Coghlin, | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
who'll chair the inquiry ruled out Sir Patrick Coghlin, | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
who'll chair the inquiry, ruled out He said his inquiry | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
was a fact-finding mission, "no power to determine any person's | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
criminal or civil liability. He poured cold water on talk | :04:04. | :04:15. | |
of a six-month timeframe, saying "no-one would thank the inquiry team | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
for producing a fast And he ruled out an interim report | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
some have looked to as a way out of the current political stalemate | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
saying any prelimininary conclusions that | :04:28. | :04:28. | |
could be reached would necessarily So no commitment from Sir Patrick | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
to any kind of a timeframe, other than a promise to do the work | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
as quickly as possible Those who thought the inquiry might | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
provide a quick political fix, or could run side by side | :04:39. | :04:47. | |
with the negotiations at Stormont now have a much clearer idea | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
of the potential timeframe - and it seems to be stretching | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
into the distance a bit. The Secretary of State James | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
Brokenshire has warned that voters could be asked to return | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
to the polls if the parties can't reach agreement | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
in the next three weeks. In a letter to all MPs, | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
Mr Brokenshire said there would be "significant consequences" | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
if there is no deal to restore Here's our Political | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
Correspondent Stephen Walker. Stormont - to some, | :05:08. | :05:15. | |
it's an uphill struggle. To others, a chance to catch | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
a glimpse of this history. Away from the cameras | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
the talking continues. Today in a letter to MPs, | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
the Secretary of State said he wanted devolution to work | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
but warned that if there is no deal So should we get | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
ready to vote again? I think if there was another | :05:31. | :05:43. | |
election, there would be huge frustrations. The people have given | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
their say and they have been very clear about the message they have | :05:48. | :05:48. | |
sent. Never mind about elections or | :05:49. | :05:59. | |
anything else, this is about the public, who came out in very large | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
numbers to tell us to get the job done. | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
discussions particularly when the Ulster Unionists met | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
He also said they were still following very far short in giving | :06:09. | :06:22. | |
what the UK Government promised, which was full disclosure. | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
that it was British Government who had reneged on agreements. | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
As we come towards the end of week one, we haven't seen anything | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
written the table from the British government on how we can deliver on | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
important issues. The public are action. | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
Tonight the Irish Foreign Affairs Minister | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
Charlie Flanagan left Belfast after two days of talking. | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
I do detect willingness to do business. I'm not underestimating | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
the challenge. There are real and serious issues outstanding, some of | :06:55. | :06:55. | |
which go back 18 years. So another day of talking ends | :06:56. | :07:04. | |
the day will be perhaps be remembered for this stark warning | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
by the Secretary of State - if you don't do a deal, | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
prepare for another election. Stephen Walker, BBC | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
Newsline, Stormont. A terminally ill woman has told | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
the BBC that without a government or Health Minister in place | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
she feels that no-one Melanie Kennedy, who stood | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
as a candidate in the recent elections, says politicians' | :07:22. | :07:33. | |
priorities need to change. Health organisations are also | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
warning that the continuing political impasse is preventing | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
important decisions being taken. Our Health Correspondent | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
Marie-Louise Connolly reports. Despite having terminal cancer, | :07:40. | :07:40. | |
Melanie Kennedy stood as a candidate She says she felt so passionately | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
about someone leading the charge on health - | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
but now the current impasse has let The reason I started all this is | :07:47. | :08:00. | |
because, where do I turn? I am at the point where I could be told in | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
the next couple of months that that reasonable treatment for me and that | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
I should go home and make my plans and say goodbye to my children. | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
Where can I turn when there is no stable government or health | :08:12. | :08:12. | |
Minister? are being put on hold including | :08:13. | :08:13. | |
implementing a cancer strategy Take cancer and performance targets | :08:14. | :08:26. | |
in Scotland, where they are sitting at 90% and there is a public outcry. | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
We have been sitting at 70% and less for a considerable period of time, | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
and I think there is a real understanding now that that is not | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
acceptable and we need our strategy in place to address this going | :08:42. | :08:42. | |
forward. Take mental health - | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
before stormont's latest fall Take mental health - | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
before Stormont's latest fall momentum had been building | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
to improve access and waiting Now that's its broken fears | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
are growing for how quickly As professionals, it is very | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
frustrating. We have met with ministers, and while there is a | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
commitment to improve mental health, it is deeply frustrating and | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
disappointing that any delay will prevent the development of these | :09:15. | :09:15. | |
essential services. the more contentious issues such | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
as how NI should deal with cases A report had reached the Executive - | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
that too is on hold. I suppose we felt progress was being | :09:22. | :09:37. | |
made, and given the current political situation, we are at a | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
standstill, hopefully not for too long. I suppose much depends on what | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
happens in the next few weeks. With those working in social care, autism | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
and speech therapy, you could argue that rebooting Stormont can't happen | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
soon enough. An Irish language act | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
is a "necessity" which has been That's one of the key | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
findings of a report from the Council of Europe, | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
which is highly critical Our Education Correspondent | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
Robbie Meredith reports: It has led to protests and political | :10:06. | :10:24. | |
arguments. Now campaigners for an Irish Language Act have received | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
support from the Council of Europe. The report says... | :10:30. | :10:43. | |
The Council of Europe is the leading human rights body in Europe and what | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
they have stated reinforces what the Irish language community have been | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
saying for many years, that we need political protection for the | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
language within domestic law. We want this dealt with in a | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
comprehensive manner and we want to keep it away from the politicians. | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
But the executive didn't give any information to the report's authors, | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
and for some, that makes it forward. Then the response was good to the | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
executive, there was no agreement and no submission, so with no input | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
from the Northern Ireland executive, it was largely shaped by lobby | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
groups in various sectors, and so is of limited value. But the report | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
says responsibility for an act goes beyond the executive. It wants the | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
UK Government to push for one. In this spirit of external experts | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
saying this is the way forward, it would be politic for the British | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
government to go ahead and introduce an Irish language act. The Council | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
of Europe is monitoring body, it cannot compel the executive or the | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
UK Government to do anything. But at a time when an Irish language act is | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
high on the agenda, what this report says and how it says will attend | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
attention at Stormont and beyond. Ulster Bank is to close | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
nine of its 64 branches It says it has made the decision | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
as more of its customers It is understood the move | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
will affect 16 jobs, 10 of them The Catholic primate | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
Archbishop Eamon Martin has said he is ashamed of revelations | :12:17. | :12:31. | |
about the Tuam mother and baby home in Co. | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
Galway. A recent report found | :12:35. | :12:35. | |
that there were significant human remains buried in a field linked | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
to the home that was run by nuns Our Dublin correspondent | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
Shane Harrison has been Where the remains of nearly 800 | :12:41. | :12:53. | |
children and babies, some unborn, buried beneath this field, some in a | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
septic tank. At question was first asked by a local historian in Tuam | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
three years ago, and after last Friday's report that found evidence | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
of significant human remains there, she feels vindicated. It is a great | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
day for survivors, to know that they may be able to find their own | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
relatives and give them a proper burial. Society's then attitude to | :13:20. | :13:28. | |
unmarried pregnant women was harsh. The Tuam mother and baby corn was | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
just one institution run by nuns to which they were sent, mimicked by | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
their families. Barnes broke into our homes to kidnap her children, we | :13:37. | :13:46. | |
gave them up maybe to spare them the savagery of gossip. The language of | :13:47. | :13:55. | |
delight in which the holier than now are particularly fluent. In his | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
remarks this week, Ireland's first Citizen said the Tuam report was a | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
necessary step in blowing open the locked doors of Ireland's hidden | :14:05. | :14:14. | |
doors. The attitudes to wards what were called unmarried women and | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
illegitimate babies. The order of nuns which ran the Tuam home still | :14:20. | :14:27. | |
operates some hospitals today. It has shipped to comment on the detail | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
of Friday's report. The Catholic bishops met this week and the prime | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
at again apologised for what he called the mistakes of past. Many | :14:36. | :14:44. | |
people in the church and society are ashamed of the past. The best thing | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
for us to do is to open it up carefully and respectfully, and I | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
think establish the truth, the whole truth about what happened at that | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
time, so that we as a community, as a society, as people in this island, | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
can move on, understanding the shadows and the darkness and those | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
terrible chapters our past. The last week has seen the Republic witness | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
the international glare of media attention on the past relationship | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
between the church and state. And yet, little mention of the role of | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
fathers at Tuam and other baby homes. There will be more reports | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
and more like Sean on that dark past. | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
A researcher at Queen's University has been defrauded out of almost | :15:36. | :15:43. | |
?1,200 after scammers pretending to be from the Home | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
The man, who doesn't want to be identified, moved | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
The man came to Northern Ireland with his wife and two young children | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
to work at the University as a researcher. Yesterday, he was | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
contacted by someone claiming to be from the Home Office. He told he was | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
being investigated for financial crimes committed in India. The given | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
two to leave the UK in 24 hours or pay a fine. The fine. I said to them | :16:12. | :16:20. | |
I don't have ?1800. They said you can transfer what you have and we | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
can manage the rest. Unfortunately, I made the transfer. I consider | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
myself fairly educated, but if it can happen to me, it could happen to | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
anyone. According to the police, in the last three years, 17% of people | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
living here have been the victim of scams, but this doesn't include the | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
thousands of others who have recognised a scam or those who | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
haven't reported one. The police it's important to know what to look | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
for. I don't know of any government agency or a public body whoever | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
demands money from people over the phone. If you get a call at | :17:00. | :17:11. | |
that, put the phone down. Just don't answer the call. But for this man, | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
that advice is too late. He says the scammers now left struggling to | :17:16. | :17:17. | |
support his family. I have just started my new job in Belfast in | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
February, and I've already spent ?5,000 on visas and everything to be | :17:21. | :17:28. | |
here. I don't know how to survive for this month, to pay my rent next | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
week. The advice from police is that if you are contacted out of the | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
blue, asked for money and personal details over the phone, it is | :17:38. | :17:38. | |
probably a scam. The Queen was among those | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
who attended a commemoration event in London today to remember those | :17:43. | :17:44. | |
who served and died during the conflicts | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
in Iraq and Afghanistan. However there's been controversy | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
over who was and wasn't invited from Northern Ireland among those | :17:50. | :17:59. | |
left feeling angry and upset. The Queen and the Prime Minister | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
were among the VIPs at today's service of commemoration | :18:03. | :18:12. | |
and memorial unveiling. But it's the questions that have | :18:13. | :18:14. | |
arisen around who weren't there that's shrouded | :18:15. | :18:16. | |
the event in controversey. Bereaved families of soldiers killed | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
during the conflicts are angry that they werent asked | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
to attend...among them Brenda Hale, whose Army captain husband Mark | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
was killed in Afghanistan in 2009. We've all been in contact over the | :18:30. | :18:39. | |
last 48 hours and we are all hurt. This is like a scam, they have left | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
is bleeding. They are traumatised, lots of families, we'll go back to | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
that day when our doors were locked and we were told they were not | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
coming home. And to find the Ministry of Defence cannot even pay | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
respect to those soldiers by inviting their next of kin to the | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
event, is very difficult to stomach. There is a time for everything and a | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
season for every activity under heaven. Add time to be born at the | :19:10. | :19:20. | |
to die. -- a time to be born and E time to die. | :19:21. | :19:21. | |
There were representatives of service personnel | :19:22. | :19:23. | |
from Northern Ireland at the event....but a former | :19:24. | :19:24. | |
veteran who was awarded the Military Cross serving | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
with the Royal Irish Regiment believes the Ministry of Defence | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
They maybe didn't realise about this sensitivity. The controversy around | :19:30. | :19:40. | |
this commemoration shows the depth of feeling that exists within the | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
families of those killed fighting in conflict zones around the world. | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
Sales of Northern Ireland goods to overseas markets are booming. | :19:53. | :19:55. | |

are part of the ?35 million expansion. Seals to overseas markets | :20:17. | :20:24. | |
are buoyant, but the post-referendum slump in sterling is making luxury | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
carpets cheaper to customers in Europe and beyond. As a business, we | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
keep focused on what we are doing. They always have been a strong | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
export company and we see strong figures coming through. New figures | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
show solid growth for Northern Ireland or the role. Export values | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
rose to nearly ?8 billion. That's up by almost 12% on 2015. Just over | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
half our goods went to European Union countries. The Republic is our | :20:57. | :21:04. | |
biggest market. Other destinations accounted for 45% of exports, with | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
sales to the USA currently sorting. Exports are just one part of the | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
economy. A weaker pound cuts both ways, driving up the cost of | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
imported goods. That might not be much of an issue here, most of the | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
war comes from England, but it is impacting on other businesses and, | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
of course, consumers. Exports are key to adding value to our economy. | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
The boss here is also president of the Northern Ireland should chamber | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
of Commerce and he wants other companies thinking globally. We need | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
people to have the ambition, the drive, to take that risk, the first | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
step. There's a great opportunity for Northern Ireland as a whole. | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
Ulster Carpets has just won another order from a Las Vegas casino. | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
Business is strong, but the great unknown for all companies is what | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
kind of trade deals exit will bring. -- Brexit will bring. | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
It's been confirmed the stadium roof will be closed for Ireland's six | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
nations match in Cardiff tomorrow night - Mark is here | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
It will be raucous Tara - evening, everyone - | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
the theory is that the closed roof generates more noise handing | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
The exchange a few blows and lifted one trophy. But for the first time | :22:32. | :22:58. | |
in this six Nations championship, Ireland have agreed to play with the | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
roof closed. A hostile environment is expected under the Friday night | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
lights and the team are ready for a cauldron of noise. Regardless of the | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
roof open or closed, it will be loaded. From an international point | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
of view, is probably one of the best stadiums in the world to play in, | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
because the atmosphere is electric. If you feel you're shouting at your | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
fellow players during a normal game, it will be really hard to heed each | :23:25. | :23:33. | |
other here. They want to avoid a third six Nations defeat in a row. | :23:34. | :23:43. | |
We are in a goldfish bowl in Wales and year we had of bit. At the | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
national team doesn't succeed, you will get a fair bit of flak. That's | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
life, nothing changes. They have to knuckle down and gets to do it. All | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
roads lead to the Welsh capital till tomorrow night, where it is win or | :23:59. | :23:59. | |
bust for our island. The weigh-ins have taken place ahead | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
of tomorrow night's big boxing bill Paddy Barnes, who won his | :24:06. | :24:13. | |
professional debut when his then opponent was disqualified | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
for lifting, is hoping tomorrow's bout against | :24:18. | :24:27. | |
Argentina's Adrien Damos Garzon - He's not that strong, so I don't see | :24:28. | :24:39. | |
any problems. Boxing is an individual sport, how important is | :24:40. | :24:48. | |
it to make sure events at this happen more often here? It's really | :24:49. | :24:59. | |
important. It is something that has been lacking in the last few years. | :25:00. | :25:12. | |
It affects myself, Jamie and Tyrone. Colourful and feisty. | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
Finally, despite a persistent groin problem which has sidelined him | :25:18. | :25:19. | |
for over two months, Corry Evans is expected | :25:20. | :25:21. | |
to be named tomorrow, in Northern Ireland's squad | :25:22. | :25:23. | |
for Sunday fortnight's World Cup qualifier at home to Norway. | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
We have had some fantastic pictures in over the 24 hours. This was the | :25:29. | :25:48. | |
sunset last. Tonight, too much cloud for a similar scenes, but I'm sure | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
our photographers will do the best to prove me wrong. Overnight, the | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
sky is clouding over and that rain moving through. It introduces Miles, | :26:01. | :26:10. | |
damp air. Tomorrow is going to be a career picture. Dal, damp and | :26:11. | :26:20. | |
drizzle never very far away. Top temperatures 11 or 12 degrees. We | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
are drawing in warm air from the sides. The best chance of brightness | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
as that cloud clears will be to the North of any high ground. As we go | :26:31. | :26:39. | |
overnight Friday to Saturday, more rain coming across, and cloud cover | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
again. A mild night. The rain is on schedule to come through overnight | :26:46. | :26:53. | |
for the next couple of nights. This is good news if you want to get out | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
and about in the daytime. Saturday will get off to a cloudy start, but | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
it will improve as we go through the days. On sat rain clears out of the | :27:06. | :27:14. | |
way, it is going to be dry. Temperatures up to 30 degrees, which | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
is very respectable for early March. On Sunday, cooler air, but plenty of | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
brightness. We are into some pretty settled weather as we head into the | :27:28. | :27:33. | |
start of next week. It might be daring to say Spring has sprung, but | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
there has been more of a springlike fields are weather recently. | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
Our late summary is at half past ten. | :27:43. | :27:46. |
