:00:16. > :00:19.Good evening. This is BBC Newsline with Noel Thompson and Donna

:00:19. > :00:24.Traynor. The headlines this Wednesday

:00:24. > :00:34.evening: Workers braced as hundreds of jobs set to go at Ulster Bank -

:00:34. > :00:36.

:00:36. > :00:41.we have the very latest. Passengers have a lucky escape as a

:00:41. > :00:44.bus crashes into a stop in Belfast city centre.

:00:44. > :00:46.Police still don't know what caused a mystery blast in Londonderry

:00:46. > :00:49.which was heard several miles away from the city.

:00:49. > :00:52.Will the Stormont executive have to learn how to subtract one

:00:52. > :00:55.department? On a big European week for Ulster

:00:55. > :00:58.rugby, a World Cup winner commits his long-term future to Ravenhill.

:00:58. > :01:06.And a cold front coming south tonight will bring some wet weather,

:01:06. > :01:09.but for how long? I'll tell you shortly.

:01:09. > :01:12.First tonight, speculation is mounting that the Ulster Bank is

:01:12. > :01:19.poised to make a major announcement which will see hundreds of staff

:01:19. > :01:22.north and south of the border. - - lose their jobs. Our business

:01:22. > :01:24.correspondent, Kevin Magee, joins us live from outside the Ulster

:01:24. > :01:32.Bank's headquarters in the centre of Belfast. Kevin, what can you

:01:32. > :01:36.tell us? The chief executive to date had a meeting with the first

:01:36. > :01:40.and Deputy First ministers to discuss lending but it is also

:01:41. > :01:45.likely that the issue of job losses was also discussed. A major

:01:45. > :01:49.announcement is expected tomorrow and staff arriving at work tomorrow

:01:49. > :01:56.expect to be told the extent of the expected job cuts on both sides of

:01:56. > :02:01.the border. A what might be the extent of the losses? Well the most

:02:01. > :02:06.realistic estimate is between 609 hundred people could lose their

:02:06. > :02:11.jobs on the island of Ireland. That works out at between 10 and 15 per

:02:11. > :02:18.cent of the total workforce. The bank employs around 6000 people,

:02:18. > :02:23.2000 of them here in Northern are none. So between 203 hundred people

:02:23. > :02:30.here could be affected. There are where a lot of job losses a few

:02:30. > :02:34.years ago, will staff be surprised that the extent of this round?

:02:34. > :02:39.is correct, staff have been here before. What they do not know it is

:02:39. > :02:43.the extent to which the job cuts will take place. What they will be

:02:43. > :02:47.interested to know is the extent and also the circumstances behind

:02:47. > :02:51.them. Are they likely to be voluntary or compulsory

:02:51. > :02:54.redundancies? Two people were taken to hospital

:02:54. > :02:59.in Belfast this afternoon when a Translink Metro Bus crashed into a

:02:59. > :03:05.bus shelter. It happened on Queen Street in the City Centre. Will

:03:05. > :03:10.Leitch reports. Translink said the accident

:03:10. > :03:15.happened just after a quarter past took this afternoon as people were

:03:15. > :03:19.waiting for the bass. The single- decker bus appears to have pulled

:03:20. > :03:25.out around another double-decker and then tried to cut sharply into

:03:25. > :03:30.the stock. For whatever reason, in pulling in the bus struck the bus-

:03:30. > :03:34.stop, knocking it over partially and shattering panes of glass.

:03:34. > :03:38.Fortunately none of the three passengers waiting inside the

:03:38. > :03:44.shelter were seriously hurt. The bust did not strike the passengers.

:03:44. > :03:48.Workers in nearby shops came out to help immediately after the accident.

:03:48. > :03:55.Two women were taken to hospital thought to be suffering from minor

:03:55. > :04:05.cuts and bruises and shock. The other was able to walk away.

:04:05. > :04:06.

:04:06. > :04:12.just pulled out. I thought he had gone into the kerb. Then the

:04:12. > :04:15.pavement slabs had left it up. Police were taking measurements at

:04:15. > :04:20.the scene at this afternoon as the debris was cleared up. Queen's

:04:20. > :04:24.Street has now been reopened. Translink say there will be a full

:04:24. > :04:27.investigation. The cause of a loud explosion in

:04:27. > :04:30.Londonderry yesterday evening is still unclear. People living in the

:04:30. > :04:39.Spencer Road and Fountain Hill areas of the city had to leave

:04:39. > :04:42.their homes. They were only allowed back in this afternoon. The police

:04:42. > :04:50.carried out extensive searches for much of the day. Our north west

:04:50. > :04:54.reporter, Keiron Tourish, reports. Police were trying to establish the

:04:54. > :04:59.exact location of the explosion occurred at around teatime

:04:59. > :05:05.yesterday. Last night it led to the evacuation of several homes.

:05:05. > :05:09.Residents stayed with relatives or in a local church hall. But some

:05:09. > :05:18.opted to stay in their homes in spite of the alert. We had

:05:18. > :05:23.different reports that a tyre blew up on a lorry. We knew the general

:05:23. > :05:29.area it came from. The police have now confirmed that a number of

:05:29. > :05:34.officers where in the area yesterday afternoon. Around about

:05:34. > :05:40.the same time there were reports of masked men being seen near by.

:05:40. > :05:45.Police say that is why they took the decision to evacuate the area

:05:45. > :05:49.after the loud explosion. But across the River Foyle on the City

:05:49. > :05:54.side, some businesses here are convinced there is a more innocent

:05:54. > :05:59.explanation. Workers at a tyre depot rushed outside after hearing

:05:59. > :06:04.allowed bang just around 5 o'clock. Moments earlier a large lorry had

:06:04. > :06:09.driven past. There was a cloud of white smoke so I went down to see

:06:09. > :06:16.if any damage had been done. The place was covered in it rubber from

:06:16. > :06:25.the tyres. The hold will pulls off the lorry. Even the man next door

:06:25. > :06:29.thought it had been a bomb. It broke all the windows. We had bombs

:06:29. > :06:34.before or during the Troubles but I never heard anything like this. We

:06:34. > :06:38.were convinced that there had been a bomb in the street. Thank God

:06:38. > :06:42.nobody was hurt. At lunch time today residents were allowed back

:06:42. > :06:46.into their homes and businesses opened again in this part of the

:06:46. > :06:52.waterside. This area of waste ground will still be cordoned off

:06:52. > :06:55.for the next few days as police searches continue.

:06:55. > :06:59.A shake-up at Stormont is on its way with the Department responsible

:06:59. > :07:02.for our universities and colleges set to be scrapped. The First and

:07:02. > :07:06.Deputy First Minister say it's just the start as they seek more

:07:06. > :07:09.efficient government. Some other Executive parties are complaining,

:07:09. > :07:15.but their efforts at negotiations proved to be a lesson in power. Our

:07:15. > :07:19.political correspondent, Martina Purdy, has this report. Being

:07:19. > :07:23.summoned to the castle for talks can be a bit like going to the

:07:23. > :07:28.headmaster's office. You can state your case but it is clear who is in

:07:28. > :07:34.charge. And there was a problem to be resolved - who should be justice

:07:34. > :07:38.minister. Should it be David Ford? He got the job to stop him fighting

:07:38. > :07:43.between the DUP and Sinn Fein. Here is what the first minister had to

:07:43. > :07:47.say about the problem. This issue is one of the mechanisms of

:07:47. > :07:54.government and we do not wanted to get in the wake of the real

:07:54. > :08:00.business of government. We were not going to allow this to lie around

:08:00. > :08:03.until the last day. ABBA Castle other solutions were explored. Keep

:08:03. > :08:09.David Ward in the job a little longer. But other parties cried

:08:09. > :08:14.foul, saying the Alliance party was getting the job from the DUP and

:08:14. > :08:19.Sinn Fein and not from the voters. I'm not the teacher's pet. We

:08:19. > :08:25.agreed with them a programme that would be put into implementation by

:08:25. > :08:33.an alliance Party minister. We have also disagreed with both of them at

:08:33. > :08:41.times. But the Alliance Party won its second peak - - second place in

:08:41. > :08:47.the elections. The other parties cried it was not fair. We listen to

:08:47. > :08:52.what we have considered to be legitimate complaints articulated

:08:52. > :08:58.by the SDLP and Ulster Unionists about a party that had less

:08:58. > :09:01.electoral support in the assembly elections. Off after talks it is

:09:02. > :09:07.now being proposed that the employment and learning department

:09:07. > :09:10.be scrapped. This pleased the Ulster Unionist Party. We have been

:09:10. > :09:15.successful in highlighting that inequality and we are pleased that

:09:15. > :09:18.other parties have listened. But the SDLP is still upset that the

:09:18. > :09:22.rules of the Good Friday agreement were put aside in the first place

:09:22. > :09:26.and is not convinced that the solution is going to work either.

:09:26. > :09:33.There is a sense that people are making it up as they go along to

:09:33. > :09:37.fix situations that are lies. That is not a principled approach to

:09:37. > :09:42.democratic politics. Party is like these can submit their views to the

:09:42. > :09:47.first and Deputy First Ministers by 5pm on Monday. But Peter Robinson

:09:47. > :09:51.and Martin McGuinness are powerful enough to do what they want and do

:09:51. > :09:55.not seem to anticipate a backlash from the universities and colleges

:09:55. > :10:03.that their department is being scrapped.

:10:03. > :10:07.Our education correspondent, Maggie Taggart, has more on that. There is

:10:07. > :10:14.no anticipated backlash but what are people sank on the ground?

:10:14. > :10:18.is not what I have been hearing. The problem is not getting rid of a

:10:18. > :10:23.department, but if you scrap this department, who takes on the

:10:23. > :10:27.different duties of that department. If you're talking about jobs,

:10:27. > :10:32.higher and further education, the most natural department is the

:10:32. > :10:38.Department of Education, and further education. But everyone I

:10:38. > :10:43.have spoken to today opposes that. People in further education

:10:43. > :10:47.colleges and universities have spoken to me to date and the

:10:47. > :10:55.majority of people involved seem to think they would be better off not

:10:55. > :10:59.in the Department of Education. They want to be linked to the jobs.

:10:59. > :11:03.The before, at further-education and training, beware in separate

:11:03. > :11:09.departments. So to save money, is this not just an exercise in

:11:09. > :11:11.reverting back to what was there before? Further and higher

:11:11. > :11:16.education and school education used to be together. But the latest

:11:16. > :11:22.thinking is that you should align be jobs and employment prospects

:11:22. > :11:28.with the organisation's training or education young people for that

:11:28. > :11:32.employment. That seems to most people to be the most natural mix.

:11:33. > :11:37.And what is your reckoning on the way that the portfolios will be

:11:37. > :11:44.shared out? It has been said that these two departments will take

:11:44. > :11:49.over the duties. But it has not actually been set in stone. There's

:11:49. > :11:53.bound to be a lot of lobbying from the universities and colleges who

:11:53. > :11:58.do not want to be seen as second best. They are worried that other

:11:58. > :12:02.departments may see them as the Cinderella of education. Clear

:12:02. > :12:05.early more to come on this. And later in the programme, we

:12:05. > :12:09.focus on secondary school education and what could be a wholesale

:12:09. > :12:16.change in rural areas. You're watching BBC Newsline, still

:12:16. > :12:22.to come on the programme. As three Fermanagh schools announced plans

:12:23. > :12:29.to close, can rural secondary schools survive? And out with the

:12:29. > :12:32.old and IND with the new. Getting ready for the digital switch-over.

:12:32. > :12:38.The trial of two men accused of murdering the PSNI officer Stephen

:12:38. > :12:40.Carroll has been told that he died from a bullet wound to his head.

:12:40. > :12:43.The state pathologist for Northern Ireland reported the findings after

:12:43. > :12:45.carrying out a post mortem examination. Constable Carroll was

:12:45. > :12:49.shot after responding to a hoax emergency call in Craigavon in

:12:49. > :12:58.March 2009. Our reporter Natasha Sayee is following the case and has

:12:58. > :13:01.The state pathologist took to the witness stand today and confirmed

:13:01. > :13:05.he had carried out a post-mortem examination on the body of

:13:05. > :13:10.Constable Stephen Carroll the day after the killing. He said that he

:13:10. > :13:14.was a help the man for his age barb that he had died as a result of a

:13:14. > :13:18.bullet wound to the head, which would have been rapidly fatal. The

:13:18. > :13:22.court heard from a number of forensic police officers, who had

:13:22. > :13:27.carried out searches in the Craigavon area after the killing.

:13:27. > :13:34.One told the court that during searches in a pine Bank estate, he

:13:34. > :13:38.had find an AK- 47 assault rifle, wrapped in clingfilm and hidden

:13:38. > :13:41.underneath an oil tank. The prosecution claimed this is the

:13:41. > :13:45.weapon that was used to kill Constable Carroll. Police officers

:13:45. > :13:49.who had searched the homes of the accused also gave evidence and told

:13:49. > :13:53.the court that they had seized a number of items ranging from

:13:53. > :13:58.clothing to mobile phones to video cameras, as well as swabbing the

:13:58. > :14:04.properties for DNA and gunshot residue. In the dark, Brendan

:14:04. > :14:10.McConville from Craigavon and John Paul Whitten from Lurgan sat with

:14:10. > :14:15.their own files, taking notes and conferring. They both denied the

:14:15. > :14:18.murder and the trial continues in the morning.

:14:18. > :14:21.The two men charged with the murder of Michaela McAreavey in Mauritius

:14:21. > :14:24.last year have appeared in court. The daughter of the Tyrone GAA

:14:24. > :14:27.manager, Mickey Harte, was found dead in her hotel room on her

:14:27. > :14:31.honeymoon. The police believe the newly-wed was strangled after

:14:31. > :14:39.interrupting a burglary. Avinash Treebohun and Sandip Moneea have

:14:39. > :14:42.pleaded not guilty to murdering the 27-year-old last January. The trial

:14:42. > :14:49.is due to start on 22nd May. It is not certain if Michaela's husband,

:14:49. > :14:52.John McAreavey, will have to attend. The police have failed in a court

:14:52. > :14:55.action to force the BBC to handover video of a Real IRA parade in

:14:55. > :14:58.Londonderry last Easter. The PSNI claims the material could help them

:14:58. > :15:01.identify the 10 masked men, one of whom delivered a speech threatening

:15:01. > :15:06.the Queen ahead of her visit to Dublin, and anyone supporting the

:15:06. > :15:11.police. The court was told the nearest police officer to the event

:15:11. > :15:14.was more than a mile away in Strand Road. The judge ruled against the

:15:14. > :15:20.police, saying they failed to prove the video would be of substantial

:15:20. > :15:22.value to their investigation. Are we about to see the beginning

:15:22. > :15:25.of the end for rural secondary schools? Recommendations on the

:15:25. > :15:28.future of all Catholic post-primary schools are due to be published

:15:28. > :15:32.next month. The principals of three schools in County Fermanagh have

:15:32. > :15:42.already told parents that the only way they will survive is by merging

:15:42. > :15:42.

:15:42. > :15:46.into one. On their own, none of these schools

:15:46. > :15:56.meet the criteria for pupil numbers or offer the full range of courses

:15:56. > :16:01.

:16:01. > :16:05.for 11-19 year olds. This school The principles of these schools

:16:05. > :16:10.have told parents they support the plan for a merger, to form one

:16:10. > :16:13.Catholic post-primary schools in rural South East Fermanagh. They

:16:13. > :16:17.say they have to take account of the educational and financial

:16:17. > :16:22.challenges and to make sure new arrangements were viable

:16:22. > :16:28.unsustainable. It would mean the closure of two schools. It is a sad

:16:28. > :16:32.day for the community here. It is a sad day for me personally. Myself

:16:32. > :16:37.and a previous principal work so hard for 32 years to keep the

:16:37. > :16:41.school open and to protect. We left no stone unturned to keep the

:16:41. > :16:46.numbers up and to keep the quality of the education of, and to enable

:16:46. > :16:49.the students and the community to achieve. Parents told me that the

:16:49. > :16:53.closure of the school would be a tragedy. They could not understand

:16:53. > :16:57.why they school with good results should have to close. They have

:16:57. > :17:02.been told the plan will proceed if the Catholic grammar schools in

:17:02. > :17:07.Enniskillen end academic selection. If this merger goes ahead it could

:17:07. > :17:12.ensure the survival of one of the school's most likely in Lisnaskea.

:17:12. > :17:15.There are no guarantees. A final decision rests with the Department

:17:15. > :17:21.of Education and they could still decide that in future, all

:17:21. > :17:27.secondary pupils in Fermanagh are taught at a school in Enniskillen.

:17:27. > :17:31.A World Cup winner has committed his future to Ulster Rugby.

:17:31. > :17:33.Now, the sport. Four years ago, Ruan Pienaar was

:17:33. > :17:36.part of the all-conquering Springboks squad. Today, the

:17:36. > :17:40.talented South African signed a contract extension which will keep

:17:40. > :17:50.him at Ravenhill until June 2014. After careful consideration,

:17:50. > :17:52.

:17:52. > :18:00.second-choice scrum half Paul Marshall has also put pen to paper.

:18:01. > :18:07.He is one of Ulster's most influential players. He has decided

:18:07. > :18:14.to sign a new two-year contract. am excited to stay longer. I have

:18:14. > :18:20.enjoyed my first two seasons over here. I am glad that the club is

:18:20. > :18:23.moving forward. We are starting to show our true potential. It would

:18:23. > :18:27.be special to be part of it for another two years. It is an

:18:27. > :18:30.ambitious club and everybody knows where they want to be in the next

:18:30. > :18:35.couple of years and what they want to achieve. It will be special for

:18:35. > :18:39.me to be part of those plans. Ulster fans have reason to cheer.

:18:39. > :18:44.The scrum half position looks strong as Paul Marshall has also

:18:44. > :18:49.signed a two-year extension. When you do negotiations you weigh up

:18:49. > :18:52.all your decisions. I feel like I am enjoying rugby at the minute and

:18:52. > :18:59.outside rugby as well, I have so many things here that I laugh and

:18:59. > :19:03.growing up in Ulster, you want to play for Auster. -- that I'd love.

:19:03. > :19:08.I want to play for Ulster. I want to enjoy rugby and keep trying to

:19:08. > :19:10.play well. The friendliest of rivalries is set to continue for

:19:10. > :19:13.another few years. Following his public pre-Christmas

:19:13. > :19:16.spat with Barry Hearn, Antrim's Mark Allen has told BBC Newsline

:19:16. > :19:22.that he and the man in charge of world snooker have now settled

:19:22. > :19:32.their differences. Allen had called for Hearne to resign, but they've

:19:32. > :19:33.

:19:33. > :19:39.since shaken hands and now agree to disagree.

:19:39. > :19:43.Mark Allen has never been shy about speaking his mind. The gaffer tape

:19:43. > :19:48.moment during last month's UK Championship was his a humorous way

:19:48. > :19:52.of telling the public that he would not be silenced. His criticisms of

:19:52. > :19:56.Barry Hearn's running of the sport attracted attention at the time but

:19:56. > :20:01.now, a face-to-face meeting between the pair to clear the air appears

:20:01. > :20:07.to have resolved some of the issues. He saw me as a silly little boy and

:20:07. > :20:11.I saw him as a dictator. We know now that neither of those are true.

:20:11. > :20:15.It is one of those things. I will have to concentrate on playing

:20:15. > :20:20.snooker and he will have to concentrate on making the money.

:20:20. > :20:25.The last bit comes with a blunt bottom line. It is my way or the

:20:25. > :20:30.highway, as they say. Mark is entitled to his opinions. The

:20:30. > :20:34.little chap we had was very good at opening his mind to, where does he

:20:34. > :20:40.want to be? Does he want to be a superstar in an ever-expanding

:20:40. > :20:45.global sport? Or does he want to go back to billiard rooms and snooker

:20:45. > :20:48.parlours and eat out a living? His prize money this year is probably

:20:48. > :20:51.double what he earned in the last couple of years so why must be

:20:51. > :20:55.doing something right. We had a very frank and open and friendly

:20:55. > :21:00.exchange of views. What is the biggest worry you would have about

:21:00. > :21:06.the changes he is proposing? Getting away from the traditions of

:21:06. > :21:10.the sport, shot clocks and people being rowdy and drinking. I do not

:21:11. > :21:15.think that is what people need. I think he knows that but he also

:21:15. > :21:19.knows that as a business you have to try new things. Snooker was a

:21:50. > :21:54.digital switch-over. It is based at the changing the way we get a

:21:54. > :21:57.signal to our TV from analogue to digital. It means we will have a

:21:57. > :22:07.lot more channels to watch, but if your TV is not ready by October,

:22:07. > :22:11.you won't be able to see a thing. Television has come a long way over

:23:13. > :23:18.what you can see on your television. If you can see a menu that looks

:23:18. > :23:22.something like this and you have more than 10 channels, then you do

:23:28. > :23:37.channels at the moment, it doesn't mean you need a new TV set. Unit --

:23:37. > :23:41.you do need to get ready. The basic thing is, 95% of televisions will

:24:25. > :24:29.everything! We got temperatures more normal for

:24:29. > :24:35.springtime. Double figures for many of us. The bad news is it will get

:24:35. > :24:38.cooler over night. Today we had a lot of cloud around. A cloud

:24:38. > :24:45.prevented the sunshine from coming out. But temperatures did not

:25:44. > :25:50.tomorrow evening means it will feel much colder, especially in parts of

:25:50. > :25:56.the East, where we will have clear skies. Temperatures dipping below
