Now, on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
A rescue deal has been agreed to save Northern Ireland's only | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
direct daily flight service between Belfast and New York. | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
The BBC can reveal that financial assistance, | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
believed to be in the region of ?9 million over three years, | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
is to be provided to prevent US airline United from axing the route. | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
Here's our business correspondent Julian O'Neill. | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
The New York route is highly prized. The US is the local economy's | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
biggest inward investor and the very real prospect of losing United has | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
ever required emergency action. And as package worth millions of pounds | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
has been put together quickly after United a marked Belfast as one of | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
its permanent UK departures. Company macro were looking at the potential | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
of pulling roots. Essentially, that was it. We had nearly lost it. It | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
was a huge Northern Ireland team ever to get it back. | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
Northern Ireland have believed its jets could be more profitable on a | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
more does on an internal route. But the sisters has come worth ?9 | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
million, mostly coming from the Executive. I look to the issue and | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
the portions of it. I made a recommendation to the Executive and | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
I'm very pleased that the First Minister has signed off and on this. | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
It allows us to keep this very important route in place. This is | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
not the first time there has been political intervention in order to | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
secure the New York route. When United's commitment wavered a while | :01:52. | :02:01. | |
back, these negative responded by abolishing tax on flights, which | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
cost it millions a year. But again, Northern Ireland's -- United's | :02:08. | :02:19. | |
struggles have been highlighted but it is the only one we have and | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
keeping it is important. There's been a homecoming | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
celebration in Belfast for the boxer Carl Frampton following his latest | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
world title victory. He became the WBA Featherweight | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
champion in New York last week, two years after securing a world | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
super-bantamweight crown. They turned out in their thousands | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
at Belfast City Hall to welcome And one who knows he has | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
really hit the big time. But for Carl Frampton, | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
this homecoming was special. I have read on social media and a | :02:44. | :02:55. | |
buzz on it, but I haven't done a lot since I came home. I have tried to | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
do my head down. This is the first time I have come out amongst the | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
people and seen the support. It is fantastic. | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
For the fans who turned out, it was worth the wait. | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
He is a way Belfast man, super-duper, and why not. What is it | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
about him? He's gorgeous. This brought back memories | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
of more than 30 years ago for Carl's manager, | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
Barry McGuigan. It only what he deserves, years a | :03:21. | :03:30. | |
great kid and he has put his life into boxing. When you make the | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
effort that he made, you deserve the rewards when they come. We are proud | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
of Carl Frampton! Thank you very much. Thanks, everyone. | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
There are no answers yet on the next fight. | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
But it looks like any Belfast date will certainly pull the crowds. | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
Ireland made Olympic history today after winning a medal in the rowing | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
Brothers Paul and Gary O'Donovan from Cork won silver | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
in the lightweight double sculls in Rio. | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
But unfortunately, it's been a disappointing day for one | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
of Northern Ireland's medallists from 2012, as Stephen | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
Heartbreak for Alan Campbell. The only athlete from Northern Ireland | :04:04. | :04:17. | |
to ever compete at four Olympics. The Coleraine rower dreams of | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
signing off on a high. But despite a valiant effort, he could only manage | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
falls. Not the way he wanted it it to finish. -- he could only manage | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
fourth. I can hold my head high without a doubt. The fairy tale | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
ending is not to be this time but I didn't come here to make up the | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
places, I came here to do a job. Unfortunately, that wasn't to be. | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
And I did everything within my power to make it happen. Huge | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
disappointment for Alan Campbell... There have been a lot of sacrifices | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
as well. Not just on my behalf, in a lot of people have helped me along | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
the way. Bobby Platz was one of my very first coaches. Just incredible. | :05:06. | :05:14. | |
Yeah, I mean, it's really tough but... But I have to say, I have | :05:15. | :05:23. | |
been so lucky and I'm really thankful to those people, my | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
parents, my wife... You know, I put it all out there. I did was I the | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
possibly do in the circumstances, I am very proud. As Alan Campbell said | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
goodbye, two brothers were entering rowing big-time. The Donovan | :05:39. | :05:48. | |
brothers one Ireland's first medal. We did as best we could and all over | :05:49. | :06:04. | |
the lane at the end, but... So, celebrations for team Ireland. Their | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
The Great Britain hockey team has historic day. | :06:08. | :06:16. | |

Now on to the weekend weather forecast with Angie Phillips. | :06:37. | :06:45. | |
Once the rain moves away, the winds will ease down. Still breezy in | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
places. A scattering of showers from the West. But not too chilly. | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
Tomorrow, we are looking at more dry weather. Generally, a good deal of | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
cloud and a few showers running through on the westerly breeze, | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
especially in the morning. Across much of Britain and Ireland, we are | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
looking at variable amounts of cloud. There will be showers around, | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
especially for western areas. Most frequent for parts of Scotland. The | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
best of the sunshine in the eastern fringes and the South, where it will | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
feel quite warm. Further than that fashion than that in the north and | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
west. Temperatures down on today but a dry afternoon and the cloud may | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
even sent out to give a few bright intervals. On Sunday, a fair amount | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
of cloud but some sunshine coming through and warming up into the | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
start of next week. Our next BBC Newsline | :07:42. | :07:42. | |
