:00:24. > :00:27.as the euro crisis claims were beggars road project that are now
:00:27. > :00:33.threatened, jobs and economic growth, too.
:00:33. > :00:42.Also on the programme, where will be millions taken from be a fight
:00:42. > :00:46.the spend? No thank you, the UUP's leader response to the Tory party's
:00:46. > :00:52.recommendation to start a new party. Many McAlees gives an emotional
:00:52. > :00:56.farewell. After a very melts November day, it
:00:56. > :01:05.will be another male tonight. Things will change, I will tell you
:01:05. > :01:09.The Irish government is watching nervously as the crisis in the
:01:09. > :01:14.Eurozone it appears to go from bad to worse. Germany dismissed reports
:01:14. > :01:18.that it has discussed with France shrinking the Eurozone with problem
:01:18. > :01:21.members like the Republic pushed out. Also today, the Irish
:01:21. > :01:28.government announced spending cuts of three-quarters of a billion
:01:28. > :01:35.Euros. Those cuts include funding for the A5 road upgrade. That is
:01:35. > :01:40.postponed indefinitely. But is worth bearing in mind that
:01:40. > :01:43.the decision not to go ahead with the A5, which was Northern
:01:43. > :01:47.Ireland's beggars roads projects, was taken here in Dublin in
:01:47. > :01:52.government buildings, not in Parliament Buildings at Stormont.
:01:52. > :01:54.That tells us that the euro crisis is having a direct impact in the
:01:54. > :01:58.Northern Ireland through their links with the Republic, which is
:01:58. > :02:03.our biggest trading partner outside of Great Britain. Those cuts which
:02:03. > :02:06.we were talking about our infrastructure cuts. They're
:02:06. > :02:09.cutting �750 million out of spending next year. There seemed
:02:09. > :02:15.massive cuts in the Budget and increases in the taxes, which will
:02:15. > :02:18.total something like �3.8 billion. That is coming out of the domestic
:02:18. > :02:23.economy here and the Republic of Ireland. The people of Northern
:02:23. > :02:27.Ireland are relying on the detail spend and exporting, and other
:02:27. > :02:31.areas such as construction. It is having a deal impact. Here in
:02:31. > :02:37.Ireland, despite the toughness, people are simply getting on with
:02:37. > :02:41.it. Michael here is with the union. You are against the austerity
:02:41. > :02:45.measures, but we are not seen people writing in the streets.
:02:45. > :02:50.are not seeing that, but whenever they have been called out on a
:02:50. > :02:54.march, and we have called three matches in the past year and a half,
:02:54. > :02:59.over 100,000 of people have come out on the streets of Dublin. It is
:02:59. > :03:03.a considerable amount given the small population. There will be
:03:03. > :03:08.marches coming up to the Budget and afterwards, but when you see the
:03:08. > :03:14.impact that this Budget will have, and it will be particularly vicious,
:03:14. > :03:18.I think you will see more action been taken. Not only through trade
:03:18. > :03:21.union movement, but social organisations. What are the
:03:21. > :03:26.alternatives? These cuts are being implemented to keep to the bail-out
:03:26. > :03:30.plan. Europe is being piloted at the moment. Do you want to see the
:03:30. > :03:35.return of the punt? It is not a matter of seeing the return of the
:03:35. > :03:39.punt. It is a matter of pursuing the best deficit reduction strategy.
:03:39. > :03:45.Austerity does not actually cut the deficit, it cuts economic growth.
:03:45. > :03:49.As we have just seen, we have seen unemployment is rising now. Job-
:03:49. > :03:53.creation rate is falling. Growth is falling. Even with the additional
:03:53. > :03:56.austerity measures that the Government introduced, they will
:03:56. > :03:59.actually even be borrowing more than they anticipate earlier this
:03:59. > :04:05.year and the debt will be even higher. Effectively, pursuing
:04:05. > :04:08.austerity is like running in quicksand. A there you have it.
:04:08. > :04:13.Some pews out today and relation to growth in the Republic of Ireland.
:04:13. > :04:19.It will grow at twice the European that average. Do not get the
:04:19. > :04:28.champagne out yet, that this growth of 1.1% next year. Easy average is
:04:28. > :04:32.0.5%. It means Europe as a whole is almost back in recession.
:04:32. > :04:37.As we know, the A five road upgrade is a casualty of infrastructure
:04:37. > :04:41.cuts for the Republic government, but it is still unclear whether the
:04:41. > :04:45.�400 million earmarked for Stormont will go. It was a long discussion
:04:45. > :04:52.at today's executive meeting on how the money might be spent.
:04:52. > :04:55.What were they told? Promises by the Irish government to part from
:04:55. > :04:58.the A five have rights -- have led to know where. It is a major
:04:58. > :05:04.disappointment for many that the project will not happen, but it
:05:04. > :05:08.could throw up opportunities elsewhere, when the funding is
:05:08. > :05:12.reallocated. Spending more than �400 million at short notice is not
:05:12. > :05:16.as easy as it might appear. Under Treasury rules, it has to be spent
:05:16. > :05:21.on capital projects. Essentially, that his physical infrastructure.
:05:21. > :05:25.Things like roads, buildings on the equipment. Time is also an
:05:25. > :05:29.important factor. Under Treasury rules, a lot of this money will
:05:29. > :05:33.have to be spent by the end of next year. Today, there were calls for
:05:33. > :05:36.the money to be spent elsewhere in the construction centre. I am
:05:37. > :05:41.talking about her transport networks, or schools and hospitals.
:05:41. > :05:44.I am saying that because we start with a deficit of some 30 years of
:05:44. > :05:49.under-investment in around the structure. The fear would require
:05:49. > :05:53.economy, then we need that the infrastructure. That should be a
:05:53. > :05:57.priority for our executive. money is not likely to go on big
:05:57. > :06:02.schemes like this the Critical Care Unit at the Royal, because the
:06:02. > :06:05.longer lead-in time is needed to plan such projects. If the focus is
:06:05. > :06:09.to keep some of the money and road- building, one scheme which might
:06:09. > :06:13.happen is the A2. That is the main road between Belfast and Carrick
:06:13. > :06:18.Fergus. A lot of the preliminary work there has been carried out
:06:18. > :06:21.already, so it may happen within the right time frame. Other
:06:21. > :06:25.projects which might benefit immediately are making his budgets
:06:25. > :06:28.for hospitals, schools and roads. They do not take as long to plan.
:06:28. > :06:32.They will also be seen as attractive options because they
:06:32. > :06:36.would boost employment and local building firms, many of which have
:06:36. > :06:39.suffered a downturn. Any benefits from spreading be a fight money
:06:39. > :06:44.across other projects will be at the expense of those in the north-
:06:44. > :06:48.west who would have used the new road.
:06:48. > :06:52.Mr Bain is a town desperate for better road links to Derry, Dublin
:06:52. > :06:56.and Belfast. The A5 road up trade would have gone a long way to
:06:56. > :07:00.achieving that. Our correspondent has spent the day in the border
:07:00. > :07:03.town. This house has stood just off the
:07:03. > :07:07.current a five road for almost two centuries. It would have been in
:07:08. > :07:14.the middle of the new road. We will have to him off, and there. To
:07:14. > :07:18.knock down the whole House. The road will go right through it.
:07:18. > :07:26.Cecil says that the postponement of the project has lifted a strain off
:07:26. > :07:30.him and his family. It is the best news we have had any long time.
:07:30. > :07:35.In the town centre, it is a different story. We need people to
:07:35. > :07:39.come by her door, and any kind of improvement in infrastructure will
:07:39. > :07:46.help my business. In parts of the A5 road, there are passing light
:07:46. > :07:50.between Donegal and Oman. But between Omar and Strabane, it is
:07:50. > :07:56.winning all the way. From Strabane to bury it is a series of
:07:56. > :08:00.roundabouts and traffic lights. People think this could be improved.
:08:00. > :08:04.You do not want to be stuck behind a tractor on the way to Strabane in
:08:04. > :08:10.the morning. He has to make a living as well, but we are stuck
:08:10. > :08:13.behind. It takes an hour. million is being spent on the
:08:13. > :08:17.project so far, and many are asking where the rest of the money will go
:08:17. > :08:20.now. The 400 million was set aside for the show is primarily to
:08:21. > :08:25.benefit the North West, and I do not like to think the money will go
:08:25. > :08:29.elsewhere. Supporters of the project say it would have brought
:08:29. > :08:36.much-needed jobs and investment to the region. Driving to Esteban --
:08:36. > :08:41.to Strabane is an ordeal and from here to Omar is an ordeal.
:08:41. > :08:45.That the infrastructure may never get the green light.
:08:45. > :08:49.We have just heard that the first and Deputy First Ministers are to
:08:49. > :08:52.have talks tomorrow in Dublin about the A5 road project. That is after
:08:52. > :08:55.Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness have attended the in
:08:56. > :08:59.occupation of the new president. In other news, the Conservative
:08:59. > :09:03.Party has written to the Ulster Unionist Party suggesting that the
:09:03. > :09:07.Ulster Unionist Party disband at a new quarry led party be formed. The
:09:07. > :09:13.offer came in a letter to the Ulster Unionist leader, Tom Eliot.
:09:13. > :09:17.As her correspondent reports, he has rejected the idea.
:09:17. > :09:21.Last month, on Patterson got a warm welcome at the Ulster Unionist
:09:22. > :09:25.Party conference. Now, the Tories want to make also unis party
:09:25. > :09:29.Gavin's a thing of the past. Party chairman has suggested that the
:09:29. > :09:33.Northern Ireland Conservatives and the Ulster Unionist Party should be
:09:33. > :09:38.disbanded add a new grouping formed. The chairman of the Conservative
:09:38. > :09:42.Party has taken a very bold and forthright step. He believes that
:09:42. > :09:47.the -- he believes that the Prime Minister believe it. The board of
:09:47. > :09:51.the Conservative Party believe it. Closer ties between the two parties
:09:51. > :09:55.are not new. In the last European and general elections, the two
:09:55. > :10:00.groups for an electoral alliance and feel that tried candidates.
:10:00. > :10:05.However, UUP leader Tom Elliot says scrapping his party is out of the
:10:05. > :10:08.lead -- out of the question. I for one, as leader of the Ulster
:10:08. > :10:12.Unionist Party, but not be recommending to any of our party
:10:12. > :10:17.that the Ulster Unionist Party with this band. This is the latest twist
:10:17. > :10:20.to a political marriage which in recent years, has had more setbacks
:10:20. > :10:23.and golden moments. If the two parties cannot agree to this
:10:23. > :10:32.proposal, it has been suggested that they may finally go their
:10:32. > :10:36.separate ways. Mary McAlees has carried out her
:10:36. > :10:42.last official engagement as President of Ireland. She visited a
:10:42. > :10:47.hostel for homeless men in Dublin, before returning to say goodbye.
:10:47. > :10:49.Have the more threads the past 14 years has been building bridges. As
:10:50. > :10:53.our correspondent reports, she has a special message for people in
:10:53. > :11:02.Northern Ireland. One last photocall on her last day
:11:02. > :11:10.as President. Andy many these local schoolchildren will treasure.
:11:10. > :11:15.all met her and we defer a card we said we love you. Cedars looked at
:11:15. > :11:25.me and smiled. It is her last day, we want to give a good wishes and
:11:25. > :11:27.
:11:27. > :11:34.all of that. She made peace with Northern Ireland and and proper
:11:34. > :11:39.island. She invited the Queen and its all of that. Many McAlees a may
:11:39. > :11:45.have sat with the greats, but when she came -- but he came to this
:11:45. > :11:49.hostel to one of the good. As a teenager, she washed dishes. She
:11:49. > :11:53.recalled the time her family have where forced out of their home in
:11:53. > :11:59.Belfast. On the day she leaves, she says she feels gratitude and
:11:59. > :12:03.sadness. Do not worry, there are a lot of tears going on at the moment.
:12:03. > :12:07.She advised the President elect to enjoy every moment, and send this
:12:07. > :12:10.message to people in Northern Ireland. I just want to see to all
:12:10. > :12:14.my friends and family in Northern Ireland, it has been one of the
:12:14. > :12:18.greatest joys and if my life in the past 14 years to see the huge
:12:18. > :12:22.release into serried society and the body politic in modern Ireland
:12:22. > :12:27.Office so much of what I would call repressed friendship.
:12:27. > :12:33.Friendship, compassion and bravery. The teashop played tribute to the
:12:33. > :12:43.qualities he said had made her an exemplary president.
:12:43. > :12:47.The end of an era. Still to come: a special series marching Teniers the
:12:47. > :12:54.PSNI, be here from Catholic officers in Derry. An incredible
:12:54. > :12:57.fund-raising effort from children in the developing world.
:12:57. > :13:00.The Princess Royal has been carrying out a series of
:13:00. > :13:06.engagements in Northern Ireland. She began the day by visiting
:13:06. > :13:11.Annette de Beaufort in Dunmurry. The firm makes the safety equipment
:13:11. > :13:14.for their claims. Products like that are sold all over the world.
:13:14. > :13:17.Later at an event in Carrick Fergus, Princess Anne planted an oak tree
:13:17. > :13:21.with the help of some local schoolchildren. It is part of a
:13:21. > :13:26.scheme to plant 6 billion trees across the UK to mark the Queen's
:13:26. > :13:32.Diamond Jubilee. The latest in a series marking
:13:32. > :13:35.Teniers the PSNI. Tonight, we ask, how is the service performed in a
:13:35. > :13:45.divided community like Londonderry, and what is it like being a
:13:45. > :13:50.
:13:50. > :13:53.So, what happened last night Michael? The main problem at the
:13:53. > :13:57.moment is people putting cones out on the road and they are still in
:13:57. > :14:01.their vehicles. It is perhaps one of the most difficult assignments
:14:01. > :14:05.and the PSNI, policing the streets of Derry. It is an area where the
:14:05. > :14:11.dissident threat is at its highest, and personal security is taken very
:14:11. > :14:16.seriously. You must worry about the dissident republican threat?
:14:16. > :14:21.course I worry about it. It is at the forefront of my mind, but does
:14:21. > :14:25.not dominate everything I do. It is a terrible thing to have to educate
:14:25. > :14:35.your child about and making security conscious, but it has to
:14:35. > :14:37.
:14:37. > :14:41.be done. What sort of dog is a? Tracy Flynn is a Catholic from
:14:41. > :14:45.Dublin and she relishes her role in the PSNI. She joined as a civilian
:14:45. > :14:50.worker, but like the organisation so much she applied to become a
:14:50. > :14:53.constable. It is very important to me that the PSNI is accepted by
:14:53. > :15:03.everyone. It is part of the community and is there to help, not
:15:03. > :15:06.
:15:06. > :15:12.hinder, not go backwards, it is there for everyone to use. Can you
:15:12. > :15:14.make your way to help a member of the public there? A call comes in
:15:14. > :15:20.from the control centre and they asked to deal with an issue on the
:15:20. > :15:24.ground. Then it is on to this road where a neighbourhood police
:15:24. > :15:28.officer that he is dealing with a problem causing great concern,
:15:28. > :15:34.anti-social behaviour. Youngsters are using traffic cones to stop
:15:34. > :15:37.vehicles and then stoning them. If for local people, this is the way
:15:37. > :15:41.in and out from work. They are travelling in their cars, bringing
:15:41. > :15:51.their kids from school, the last thing we need is people throwing
:15:51. > :15:55.
:15:55. > :16:02.stones at people. How are you all doing? You probably will not see me
:16:02. > :16:06.too much round here. I'm across the road most of the time. This officer,
:16:06. > :16:10.a Catholic a originally from court, says Derry is one of the best
:16:10. > :16:15.places to work. He is aware of the deep mistrust of the up RUC in some
:16:15. > :16:19.areas, but insists the PSNI is a service for a new generation.
:16:19. > :16:25.Obviously there is a legacy, you cannot ignore it, you hear it from
:16:25. > :16:29.people, but by saying that, you can acknowledge how different the
:16:29. > :16:34.reception the PSNI gets. Many colleagues talk about how difficult
:16:34. > :16:39.it was. You can have a neighbourhood unit, every two
:16:39. > :16:43.officers, can go about doing their job. You cannot take your safety
:16:43. > :16:47.for granted. That is true in Derry, where there have been a series of
:16:47. > :16:50.bombings in the city in recent years and in the summer, BPs and I
:16:50. > :16:57.had to deal with rioting in the Bogside, when you've attack them
:16:57. > :17:01.with petrol bombs. The PSNI say they are determined to deal with
:17:01. > :17:04.the dissident threat, while providing a police service that is
:17:04. > :17:08.responsive to the wider community. I am very confident about the
:17:08. > :17:13.future of the PSNI. I could only speak for my personal experience
:17:13. > :17:17.and I have not experienced mass mistrust. There is clearly not a
:17:17. > :17:24.welcome everywhere, but the PSNI hopes its work on the ground will
:17:24. > :17:28.help the service and greater confidence across the community.
:17:28. > :17:34.Tomorrow, in the last of the series, we investigate how international
:17:34. > :17:38.crime gangs are increasingly targeting Northern Ireland. Amid
:17:38. > :17:42.controversy within the UK Border Agency, and accusations of lack
:17:42. > :17:46.some passport controls, private colleges here are complaining about
:17:46. > :17:49.new tighter regulations. These are rules are causing job losses and
:17:49. > :17:59.there are major worries over the future recruitment of overseas
:17:59. > :18:00.
:18:00. > :18:03.students. This language school relies on fees from overseas
:18:04. > :18:08.students, many of them from outside the European Union. In an attempt
:18:08. > :18:11.to curb illegal immigration, the Border Agency under the Home office
:18:11. > :18:15.has tightened regulations and they are about to get tougher. His
:18:15. > :18:22.private college has students from all over the world. It have come
:18:22. > :18:26.here from Brazil, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iran, India, China and
:18:26. > :18:30.Japan. Increasing visa restrictions means that the business here is
:18:30. > :18:34.grinding to a halt. Over the last year, they have lost 50 per cent of
:18:34. > :18:36.their long-term students and had to make four teachers redundant. The
:18:36. > :18:45.school says that while other countries are relaxing their
:18:45. > :18:48.student begins, they have all been allowed 21, when these have 200.
:18:48. > :18:52.There are checks on students to make sure that only the best come
:18:52. > :18:55.here. The level and the number of changes have meant that it is very
:18:55. > :18:59.difficult for education providers to make sure that they are being
:18:59. > :19:02.compliant and that they have not missed anything. But new
:19:02. > :19:06.legislation will prevent students in private colleges from doing any
:19:06. > :19:09.part-time work and from bringing their families. One woman from a
:19:09. > :19:16.ramp so she may have to Abridge her three children and send them home.
:19:16. > :19:24.It is not fair for me, they should put this law for a new students,
:19:24. > :19:29.not for a previous students. I have missed everything, my job in Iran
:19:30. > :19:34.and I cannot go back. The same new safeguards apply to theology
:19:34. > :19:37.students at this college. They complain that the goalposts keep
:19:37. > :19:40.changing and there visa allowance has been reduced and although they
:19:40. > :19:43.have astringent quality Test already, they would will have to
:19:43. > :19:48.pay thousands of pounds for a new audit and they cannot find out he
:19:48. > :19:53.will carry it out in Northern Ireland. We are been charged the
:19:53. > :19:59.same cost as other larger institutions, �20,000 a year, which
:19:59. > :20:02.to us seems unreasonable. We have about 200 full-time students,
:20:02. > :20:06.whereas other bodies like Queen's University have tens of thousands
:20:06. > :20:10.of students. The Home office has defended the reforms, saying the
:20:11. > :20:14.end is to eliminate abuse and reduce net migration to sustainable
:20:14. > :20:21.levels. The college is worried that the rules could damage what had
:20:21. > :20:25.been a growing business in Northern Ireland. An update for you now or

:24:24. > :24:30.is all by results? Yes, but they did not get what they deserved.
:24:30. > :24:37.does the team react so that? Were we are of two points ahead in the

:25:13. > :25:18.currency taking hold of Estonia is football. Good morning Seraph. It
:25:18. > :25:27.is really good for us. The Estonians are hoping that we will
:25:27. > :25:33.win. There I am excited about that. Now is still you want to bring that
:25:33. > :25:36.new-found football confidence one step further. Haven't already shown
:25:36. > :25:40.no other -- Northern Ireland the exit door in Euro 2012, there is
:25:40. > :25:46.nothing they would like better than to repeat the feat against another
:25:46. > :25:50.team ingrained. That is why the Republic's coach and captain was
:25:50. > :25:57.being cautious. They it is the first time that this story have
:25:57. > :26:05.participated in this play-off. Net be it is the game of their lives,
:26:05. > :26:09.but also for us. There are no easy games. People would say we are the
:26:09. > :26:15.favourites. Anything can happen. It will be a tough game. We are
:26:15. > :26:20.expecting them, they are playing at home and they will want to get a
:26:21. > :26:25.result. We will have to be careful. The these players are desperate to
:26:25. > :26:33.qualify, desperate. A challenge now for these players is to translate
:26:33. > :26:43.that desperation into a performance tomorrow night. We will have more
:26:43. > :26:48.We have had a cracking day. Temperatures were well above
:26:48. > :26:52.average for the time of year. This evening, nothing changes much. We
:26:52. > :26:56.will hold on to those milder temperatures overnight, around 10
:26:56. > :27:00.or 11 degrees. The cloud that does push in today will bring with it
:27:00. > :27:03.some light rain and drizzle as we go through the early hours of
:27:03. > :27:07.Friday morning and unfortunately, that signalled a change for
:27:08. > :27:12.tomorrow. It will turn windy and it will become more wet as well as the
:27:12. > :27:16.rain continues to push its way in. The winds will be quite strong,
:27:16. > :27:22.coupled with that rain it will feel quite blustery out and about. But
:27:22. > :27:26.rain will eventually push into western areas, and eastern parts
:27:26. > :27:29.into the afternoon. Some of the it will be heavy, but although
:27:29. > :27:35.temperatures are still above average, around 13 or 14 degrees,
:27:35. > :27:39.as a result of the winds and rain, it will feel colder than that.
:27:39. > :27:43.Eventually, the rain will edge away, turning drier in the western areas,
:27:43. > :27:46.but it will linger in Eastern Counties for a while in the evening,
:27:46. > :27:52.but eventually it will clear away giving us a dry night as we head
:27:52. > :27:55.into the weekend. It will be slightly cooler, 79 degrees. The
:27:55. > :28:00.weekend will be pretty decent, we can look forward to plenty of dry
:28:00. > :28:04.bright and sunny weather. During the evening on Friday and then
