The PSNI have issued a warning about the use of illegal | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
and prescription drugs, after a number of sudden deaths | :00:09. | :00:17. | |
in Belfast, mostly involving teenagers and people | :00:18. | :00:18. | |
In a statement, the district commander for Belfast said | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
he was concerned about the number of recent deaths of young | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Although knowing that numbers have been released, | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
Although no exact numbers have been released, | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
it's understand understood at least three people have died | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
Two of these deaths are believed to have happened in west Belfast | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
Chief Superintendent Chris Noble says postmortem examinations | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
have been carried out, but the police are waiting | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
for the results of toxicology tests to determine the cause | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
The police say in some cases possible links to drug or substance | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
abuse are still strong lines of enquiry. | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
They are urging people not to take drugs or prescription medication not | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
They've also warned of the dangers of mixing any type | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Today's message has received support from alcohol and drugs charities. | :01:06. | :01:15. | |
I think the police are correct to put a statement out at this time of | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
year. Certainly it is a time when people drink excessive amounts of | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
alcohol and they don't see the added dangers and risks of taking it with | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
drugs prescribed medication is particularly to the drug-taking | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
population. People are now taking more one substance quite commonly | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
and they need reminded of the added risks that come with that. | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
Police have also said that anyone suspected of involvement | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
in the supply of drugs will be arrested and brought before | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
the courts to help reduce the threat of harmful and illegal activity. | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
Three Lithuanian men have appeared at Belfast Magistrates' Court | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
accused of conspiring to supply heroin. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
It follows the discovery of ?500 worth of the drug yesterday. | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
Police told the court that heroin use has been escalating recently | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
and is linked to the deaths of four people. | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
An elderly woman remains in hospital after a fire at her home in west | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
The woman and a dog who were in the house | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
in Glengoland Gardens when the blaze began were rescued by fire crews | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
The property was badly damaged and the Fire Service say the cause | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
Just over 100 people in Northern Ireland feature | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
Among the recipients are the Northern Ireland Football | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
manager Michael O'Neill and the Paralympic | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
Michael O'Neil gets an MBE after leading Northern Ireland | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
to the Euro finals in the summer, the first time the team had | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
qualified for this stage of the championship. | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
Their success attracted thousands of fans who travelled to France | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
to support their team in what was viewed as a massive | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
It is a fantastic honour and totally unexpected, to be honest. I suppose | :03:02. | :03:13. | |
in many ways I am getting the recognition of what not only the | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
team but the Association of teams as well, you know, over the past year, | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
the Euros, but I think over the past two years for where we are now. | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
Paralympic swimmer Bethany Firth from County Down who won | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
Belfast Science Park creator Professor John McCanny has been | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
knighted in recognition of his services to higher education | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
I think the general public are probably not as aware as they might | :03:41. | :03:53. | |
be as to what actually goes on at the science Park these days. There | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
are something like 160 high-tech companies employed there so it helps | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
to shine a light on that and that's fantastic because they are a lot of | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
young people doing wonderful things. under his taxi in 1991, | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
has been awarded the MBE for services in support of victims | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
and survivors of the troubles. It is a great achievements not only | :04:14. | :04:26. | |
for me but also for my colleagues who have helped me. This is for the | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
victims of islands in Northern Ireland. | :04:32. | :04:41. | |
and from all walks of life featured in the New Year 's Honours list. | :04:42. | :04:51. | |
Rugby and Ulster were well beaten by Leinster in the Pro-12 league | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
Poor defending by Ulster let in Rory O'Loughlin for Leinster's | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
first try early in the first half and Luke McGrath put the home side | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
17-0 up at half time when he was able to run | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
through easily for their second try; a consolation try | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
from Ulster's Charles Piutau near the end of the game wasn't | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
enough and Leinster ran out winners by 22-7. | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
