The police have described the shooting of a man

:00:00.:00:09.

in West Belfast last night as a cold-blooded execution.

:00:10.:00:12.

They say they are keeping an open mind on why 43-year-old

:00:13.:00:15.

Joe Reilly was targeted at his home in Poleglass.

:00:16.:00:18.

The second shooting in pole glass in less than a week. Last night to

who were in the house lights on the floor and kept the victim in the

:00:41.:00:44.

living room, where they shot on a number of times in the chest. He

:00:45.:00:47.

died at the scene. Neighbours rushed over to try

:00:48.:00:50.

and help the injured man. Others chased the two

gunmen, who fled through It is really difficult to describe

:00:54.:00:54.

what happened last night. Words such as senseless and barbaric

:00:55.:01:06.

are not adequate. This was a cold-blooded

summary execution Today, investigators

:01:27.:01:31.

offences date back many years. Last Sunday dissident republicans are

:01:32.:01:35.

believed to have shot a man in the same estate but nobody has claimed

:01:36.:01:39.

responsibility for last night's murder and the two are not believed

to be connected. I would say to these aren't groups to stop doing

community are also suffering. In a joint statement,

the First Minister and Who short Joe Reilly dead

and why remains unclear. The police say they are keeping

an open mind at the moment. They want to hear from anyone

in the area at the time, particularly three children who were

playing nearby, as it is believed the gunmen may have run

with what had happened earlier The head of an organisation

which recently got nearly ?2 million of public money has launched

:03:49.:03:59.

a foul-mouthed attack on the Government, claiming it

:04:00.:04:02.

doesn't care about Northern Ireland. The SDLP has criticised

:04:03.:04:06.

the remarks by Dee Stitt, The DUP has said while it will work

:04:07.:04:09.

with people willing to move on, words and actions need to go

:04:10.:04:15.

hand in hand. Here's our political

:04:16.:04:18.

correspondent, Gareth Gordon. This is the headquarters of Charter

:04:19.:04:21.

NI, a community-based organisation. And this is Dee Stitt,

:04:22.:04:31.

pictured at an event last month, He is also the leader of the UDA in

:04:32.:04:49.

North Down. Here he is with Arlene Foster at an event last month. The

:04:50.:04:59.

award has been defended by Sinn Fein and the DUP.

:05:00.:05:00.

Now video has emerged in which he is asked

:05:01.:05:02.

if the British government is doing enough to tackle violence.

:05:03.:05:04.

No, the British government doesn't give a BLEEP about us.

:05:05.:05:07.

People see paramilitary groupings as a negative.

:05:08.:05:08.

Some people see that as a negative and they would use that

:05:09.:05:11.

against loyalist communities - their structure's still there,

:05:12.:05:13.

they're involved in crime, drugs, racketeering, blah blah blah.

:05:14.:05:19.

But loyalist groupings are doing some brilliant work for community

:05:20.:05:22.

North Down defenders are our homeland security.

:05:23.:05:28.

It's in the name - we're here to defend

:05:29.:05:30.

He may now have to defend himself from more questions

:05:31.:05:38.

about his suitability to hold a leading role in the organisation

:05:39.:05:41.

I thought the tone of his voice was disturbing.

:05:42.:05:53.

Is it appropriate for the leader of a community organisation getting

:05:54.:05:56.

millions of public money to be issuing these comments?

:05:57.:06:05.

In a recent statement, Dee Stitt said...

:06:06.:06:32.

The emergence of this video will increase pressure put on him

:06:33.:06:35.

The aerospace firm Bombardier is cutting around 10%

:06:36.:06:43.

The company has made a series of redundancies in recent years,

:06:44.:06:49.

Earlier our Business Editor, John Campbell, told

:06:50.:06:53.

Donna Traynor that the impact on its Northern Ireland

:06:54.:06:56.

We know Bombardier has been in a tough place for the last two years,

:06:57.:07:10.

the C Series jet is going over budget and the path to cut jobs that

:07:11.:07:14.

they were stabilised a bit because they got a bail-out from Canada but

:07:15.:07:19.

today the chief executive said they have to get the company back to

:07:20.:07:26.

productivity and has said they will cut 7500 jobs across the global

:07:27.:07:33.

workforce -- profitability. Have you any idea where that axe will fall?

:07:34.:07:40.

Bombardier said two thirds of those jobs will be in their railways

:07:41.:07:43.

devotion because they also make trains but none of that is in

:07:44.:07:48.

Belfast, so the bulk of it cannot affect Belfast, but the Chief

:07:49.:07:54.

Executive also said he intends to hire people to work on programmes

:07:55.:07:59.

like the C Series and the global 7000 and they are projects in

:08:00.:08:04.

Belfast, so Belfast could lose some jobs but also get jobs back.

:08:05.:08:06.

The funeral of Munster Rugby's head coach Anthony Foley has been

:08:07.:08:08.

Hundreds of mourners joined his former international

:08:09.:08:11.

and provincial team-mates to pay their respects,

:08:12.:08:13.

as the cortege made its way to St Flannan's church in Killaloe.

:08:14.:08:18.

The 42-year-old died suddenly last weekend while in Paris,

:08:19.:08:21.

Finally, onto the weekend weather forecast with Angie Phillips.

:08:22.:08:39.

Generally speaking, the settled spell of weather will carry on into

:08:40.:08:44.

the weekend. You're still beneath a ridge of high pressure although we

:08:45.:08:49.

have an area of low pressure to the South West and as it deepens we get

:08:50.:08:53.

a squeeze on the isobars and the breeze picks up into Sunday, but

:08:54.:08:59.

we're still looking at a lot of dry weather with occasional sunny

:09:00.:09:03.

spells. A fair amount of cloud today, especially in the West but

:09:04.:09:07.

that has been falling away, so mainly dry, cloud breaking up to

:09:08.:09:12.

give clear spells, close to freezing in parts of the countryside to

:09:13.:09:18.

expect some grass frost and patchy fog. Tomorrow, a few showers but it

:09:19.:09:25.

is the east that is more likely to catch hours, especially in the

:09:26.:09:30.

morning, West is best with a lot of dry weather and sunshine. Across the

:09:31.:09:36.

rest of Ireland and Britain, a mix of bright spells and showers, most

:09:37.:09:40.

showers towards the North Sea coast, not as many as a recent days but we

:09:41.:09:46.

still have a breeze coming in after North Sea, not as chilly further

:09:47.:09:52.

inland. Into the afternoon for Northern Ireland, most showers

:09:53.:09:58.

fizzling out, just the odd one so brightening up, highs around 12

:09:59.:10:02.

degrees. Into Sunday the breeze picks up, it will feel cool and a

:10:03.:10:07.

lot of dry weather and sunshine and still fairly settled into the start

:10:08.:10:14.

of next week. That's it from us until 5:35pm tomorrow. From all of

:10:15.:10:16.

us here, good night
