:01:40. > :01:41.It's the latest blow to the manufacturing sector

:02:06. > :02:10.George, you will not find a more significant employer in Northern
:02:11. > :02:14.Ireland than Bombardier. It is of course a major name in the world of
:02:15. > :02:18.aviation, but it has had a major financial troubles as well. Recently
:02:19. > :02:22.the state government of Quebec in Canada gave them $1 billion to try
:02:23. > :02:24.to tide them over. However, it has failed to deal with all of those
:02:25. > :02:32.troubles. Workers left Bombardier's plants
:02:33. > :02:35.today with real concern about their future. All were talking about the
:02:36. > :02:40.potential impact of these job losses on their friends behind the gates
:02:41. > :02:44.and their families beyond them. Everybody is depressed about it and
:02:45. > :02:49.stuff like that. I have just got to hope I am still employed next year.
:02:50. > :02:54.But like I say, I am 62, it is going to affect younger ones more than me,
:02:55. > :03:00.honestly. It is shocking, but what can you do? The company has a plan,
:03:01. > :03:04.it is doing its best for us. The Belfast factory where Bombardier
:03:05. > :03:09.produces parts for planes has a long history associated with aviation. It
:03:10. > :03:14.was originally home to Short Brothers, the world's first aircraft
:03:15. > :03:19.manufacturer. A heart-warming sight for Northern Ireland, a 100 tonne
:03:20. > :03:23.transport aircraft built for the RAF... The modern industry is very
:03:24. > :03:28.competitive, and Bombardier has seen an international drop in demand for
:03:29. > :03:31.its business jets. It has also had real problems with the C series, a
:03:32. > :03:35.new passenger plane it is introducing to try to compete with
:03:36. > :03:40.Airbus and Boeing. The spiralling costs of the new aircraft have left
:03:41. > :03:44.it having to make cutbacks, despite huge financial support from the
:03:45. > :03:48.state government in Quebec, where Bombardier is based. The whole
:03:49. > :03:52.global aerospace world is trying to minimise the cost base, and that
:03:53. > :03:56.includes going to what we would call lower cost countries, and if we want
:03:57. > :03:59.to compete, being in a global marketplace, we need to take
:04:00. > :04:04.advantage of that where it is relevant. Bombardier insists it
:04:05. > :04:08.still sees a bright future at its plants here, but that continued
:04:09. > :04:13.concern about costs will be a worry to some workers. It has been
:04:14. > :04:22.confirmed for us, even in the board meeting earlier, that the long-term
:04:23. > :04:24.future of the Belfast plant is secure, and we will see into the
:04:25. > :04:26.future, generations, manufacturing and aircraft in Northern Ireland.
:04:27. > :04:30.The relationship between Air Canada and Bombardier... Today in go back
:04:31. > :04:34.the company was looking to concentrate on the positive. Air
:04:35. > :04:40.Canada has made an order for 75 of the new C series planes, and it is
:04:41. > :04:45.procuring jobs, which is important on this side of the Atlantic, where
:04:46. > :04:49.the wings are made. But Bombardier knows that it is vital for its
:04:50. > :04:53.business that sales of the C series really take off.
:04:54. > :04:58.It is important to say that four out of five jobs are safe, and today
:04:59. > :05:00.Northern Ireland ministers been talking up manufacturing, but the
:05:01. > :05:03.unions are very concerned about the industry because these job losses
:05:04. > :05:09.follow the decision by Michelin to pull out of the plant Ballymena and
:05:10. > :05:12.Gallagher, a tobacco manufacturer, is shutting its plant there. Really,
:05:13. > :05:15.those jobs are going to be very difficult to replace.
:05:16. > :05:18.Well, across the UK as a whole, there was some better news on jobs,
:05:19. > :05:21.with figures showing yet another fall in the number of unemployed,
:05:22. > :05:26.I'm joined now by our industry correspondent, John Moylan.
:05:27. > :05:33.I guess beggars like that when I gave show a labour market that is
:05:34. > :05:37.strong? -- figures. The good news is that the trends are continuing,
:05:38. > :05:42.unemployment is falling, employment is at record levels. We can see some
:05:43. > :05:47.of the figures here, as you said, unemployment fell by 60,000 in the
:05:48. > :05:51.last three months of the year to reach 1.69 million. If we look at
:05:52. > :05:57.the jobless rate, it is now actually at 5.1%. I mean, that is the best
:05:58. > :06:00.for about ten years. But he is the big conundrum, the labour market is
:06:01. > :06:04.really tight, and yet pay is not rising in the way that we would
:06:05. > :06:08.expect. Average earnings have risen by 2%, a little more last month, but
:06:09. > :06:12.behind where we were in the middle of last year, and one reason for
:06:13. > :06:15.that maybe the fact that we have record vacancies across the economy
:06:16. > :06:19.at the moment. But these figures were broadly welcomed today, the
:06:20. > :06:24.Government said it showed that the UK was the jobs workshop of Europe.
:06:25. > :06:27.Labour, of course, focused on the pay issue, they talked about a pay
:06:28. > :06:31.crisis. If there is a concern tonight, it is the fact that, yes,
:06:32. > :06:34.the economy is creating lots of jobs, but what quality are these
:06:35. > :06:37.jobs, and are they putting enough money in people's pockets? All
:06:38. > :06:41.right, thank you very much. Now, we all know that fizzy drinks
:06:42. > :06:44.are often the worst culprits when it comes to sugar,
:06:45. > :06:46.but this will surprise you - some hot drinks from high-street
:06:47. > :06:49.chains like Starbucks and Costa contain more than double
:06:50. > :06:50.or even triple the recommended daily
:06:51. > :06:52.intake of sugar. The campaigning group
:06:53. > :06:54.Action on Sugar said one drink contained the equivalent
:06:55. > :06:56.of 20 chocolate digestives. Our health correspondent
:06:57. > :07:08.Sophie Hutchinson has more. A daily routine or an occasional
:07:09. > :07:11.treat, new research suggests that some heartstrings from high street
:07:12. > :07:18.cafes should be consumed in moderation. -- hot drinks. Today's
:07:19. > :07:23.report by campaigners Action on Sugar says many of these things are
:07:24. > :07:28.excessively sweet. It and lies 131 of them from nine of the UK's
:07:29. > :07:33.biggest chains and found 98% had high levels of sugar. -- it
:07:34. > :07:39.analysed. Just to put it into context, this contains 90 spoons of
:07:40. > :07:47.sugar, but compare that to this caramelised drink which contains 13
:07:48. > :07:51.teaspoons of sugar. This chai latte contains 20 teaspoons of sugar, but
:07:52. > :07:57.the worst is this hot fruit drink, which contains 25 teaspoons of
:07:58. > :08:03.sugar. Back out on the streets, there was some surprise that a
:08:04. > :08:12.coffee had as twice as much sugar as a can of cola. Wow, two times? Good
:08:13. > :08:17.heavens! Wow! That does surprise me, that it is double. That is a hell of
:08:18. > :08:22.a lot. I don't really order things like that for that very reason, to
:08:23. > :08:27.be fair. Starbucks has said that it is committed to reducing sugar by
:08:28. > :08:31.25% by 2020 and already offers a wide range of lighter options, and
:08:32. > :08:36.Costa said it had already taken significant steps to reduce sugar
:08:37. > :08:41.content. But experts are concerned about the impact of these drinks are
:08:42. > :08:44.on heart disease, dental health and obesity, and many insist people need
:08:45. > :08:49.much more help to make healthier choices. If we had proper calorie
:08:50. > :08:54.labelling on the dreams we consume out of home, in the way that we now
:08:55. > :08:58.see on cans in the supermarket, for example, at least people could make
:08:59. > :09:01.an informed choice. It is also a matter of portion size, because the
:09:02. > :09:05.reason there is so much sugar in some of these drinks is they are
:09:06. > :09:09.ridiculously large, and I think the time has come for us to think about
:09:10. > :09:13.having a cap on the portion size of some of these drinks. Pressure has
:09:14. > :09:17.been growing for the Government to bring in a tax on sugary drinks
:09:18. > :09:22.after evidence from abroad that it can reduce the amount that people
:09:23. > :09:26.buy. A decision is expected in its much delayed obesity strategy, which

:20:19. > :20:25.Language is the key not just to stories but to learning. Makes a

:20:30. > :20:34.understand us, we can understand them. They love learning. The
:20:35. > :20:38.children at this age have a thirst for learning. By the time children
:20:39. > :20:42.start reception, they need to be able to use and understand a large
:20:43. > :20:47.range of words. Not just for subjects like English, but also for
:20:48. > :20:53.learning maths. This research shows that makes a difference throughout
:20:54. > :20:58.school. And the children who struggle at the age of five will
:20:59. > :21:08.still have problems at 11 if they do not have those crucial
:21:09. > :21:16.communications skills. It may look simple but activities like this make
:21:17. > :21:21.a difference. Two-year-olds playing a game that is all about words.

:21:33. > :21:36.difference. He has learned things like juice, post, biscuit. He has
:21:37. > :21:40.learned so many new words. Every time he comes home he will say
:21:41. > :21:45.something new. This nursery is run by a graduate
:21:46. > :21:48.trained in early years. That meant Darcy was given extra speech

:21:57. > :21:59.people. She did not feel comfortable. Now she can
:22:00. > :22:04.communicate. The social skills seem to have come
:22:05. > :22:10.with it. This research shows why learning language early matters. But
:22:11. > :22:15.not all of these courses are run by graduates. Children's charities say
:22:16. > :22:18.that should change. They know how to structure the activities in the

:23:27. > :23:32.only emits water. But its makers want to sell it as more than a green
:23:33. > :23:36.machine. We are not targeting the eco-sector as our market. We want
:23:37. > :23:43.people to take this car because they wanted, simple as that. Unless you
:23:44. > :23:50.are on motorways, 60 mph feels to us as very adequate speed. The company

:23:57. > :24:04.hydrogen cars. Even Hummer have been going green. People are talked about
:24:05. > :24:09.hydrogen cars being the future for decades. They have always been stuck
:24:10. > :24:13.at a crossroads. Even now there are only about a dozen fuelling stations
:24:14. > :24:19.around the UK. To build many more there would need to be a lot more
:24:20. > :24:23.demand. The idea of this car is that you only need to fill up once a
:24:24. > :24:30.week. But will that persuade people to come off cheap petrol and diesel?
:24:31. > :24:36.Low oil prices are not forever. They are playing havoc with the car

:24:52. > :24:59.Apologies because I am starting off with a dreary picture. It is fairly
:25:00. > :25:02.indicative of the story today. There has been some rain around. This is a
:25:03. > :25:08.Weather Watchers photograph in Staffordshire. Cloud and rain
:25:09. > :25:13.continues to sink South and East. We are still concerned that we could
:25:14. > :25:19.see more of a mix of sleet and snow. Primarily for higher ground. But
:25:20. > :25:26.maybe at lower levels. Further west, clear skies and ayes could be a
:25:27. > :25:36.problem. If you are barely enough, check your BBC local radio station.
:25:37. > :25:41.-- if you are up early enough. Further west in the morning it is a
:25:42. > :25:44.cold start. Lovely sunshine. Ice could be an issue as temperatures
:25:45. > :25:50.hovered close to freezing. Still the risk of some wintry showers in
:25:51. > :25:53.Northern Ireland and Scotland. Temperatures at around 1 degrees as

:26:15. > :26:17.into Friday it starts off cold and frosty with the best of the sunshine
:26:18. > :26:25.in the east. Milder air from the West. Snow for a time but it will
:26:26. > :26:29.continue to turn back to rain. Mild air in the south-west pushing in for
:26:30. > :26:34.the start of the weekend. 14 degrees not out of the question for England
:26:35. > :26:37.and Wales. Cold in the far north of Scotland. That would be the boundary
