:01:16. > :01:19.Good evening. One of our biggest leisure centres says a company
:01:19. > :01:21.hired to test its water for the bacteria that causes Legionnaire's
:01:21. > :01:24.disease has admitted producing fake test results over a six month
:01:24. > :01:27.period last year. Newtownabbey Borough council which operates the
:01:27. > :01:29.Valley leisure centre says no one has been infected but the company
:01:29. > :01:33.has potentially put lives at risk. The leisure centre and swimming
:01:33. > :01:36.pool are still open but the spa has been closed as a precaution, while
:01:36. > :01:40.more tests for the Legionella bacteria are carried out.
:01:40. > :01:44.Legionnaire's disease is a potentially fatal form of pneumonia.
:01:44. > :01:49.People can get affected when they breathe in a tiny water droplets
:01:49. > :01:53.contaminated with bacteria. That is why the Valley Leisure Centre
:01:53. > :01:58.employed a company called healthy buildings international Ireland Ltd,
:01:58. > :02:00.based in east Belfast, to carry out monthly cheques. The council
:02:00. > :02:05.received an anonymous letter last week which made allegations about
:02:05. > :02:13.the testing of Legionella within the swimming pools. So we launched
:02:13. > :02:18.an immediate investigation into it. As a result, the company admitted

:02:38. > :02:41.continue testing. We asked for a common but they have not yet
:02:41. > :02:46.replied. I cannot believe any company would carry out such an
:02:46. > :02:51.action, potentially put at risk the health of the public. But we have
:02:51. > :02:54.taken immediate action and that company will not be used to every
:02:54. > :02:59.game in the future and a new company will be appointed to carry

:03:11. > :03:13.attempted car hijacking. A youth threatened her with a knife outside

:03:18. > :03:23.speaking to her. Friday his constituency day and Anna Lo was
:03:23. > :03:28.working in her office here and she was parked on this street, Laurence

:03:36. > :03:40.nasty surprise. What happened? opened the car and put a couple of
:03:40. > :03:46.bags into the cab and I realised somebody had stood behind me. I
:03:46. > :03:51.turned round and he had a knife. It was a large kitchen knife, he was
:03:51. > :03:57.pointing it at me and he shouted at me and said give me your car! When
:03:57. > :04:07.I did not say anything he shouted it again. Instinctively I said no,
:04:07. > :04:13.I felt like he was going to take my keys so I put them behind my back,
:04:13. > :04:21.I think he then recognised me and sprinted across the road and down
:04:21. > :04:27.an alleyway. Very frightening for you. In fact, I don't think I was
:04:27. > :04:33.frightened, more angry. I was thinking how dare you. Taking my
:04:33. > :04:39.property, my car! But had he grabbed me, or had the knife been
:04:39. > :04:42.closer to me, I would not fight with him. But I kind of
:04:43. > :04:49.instinctively felt I could still put up with a bit of a fight and
:04:49. > :04:53.said no, you're not getting my car. Thank you for talking to us. Anna
:04:53. > :04:57.Lo is not the first person this has happened to. Stinson -- since the
:04:57. > :05:01.start of the year there have been 13 car jacking as in Belfast and
:05:01. > :05:05.six attempted attacks, which has led police to set up a dedicated
:05:05. > :05:09.task force. 10 people have been arrested and four charged. But it
:05:09. > :05:15.seems that is not tearing everyone from carrying out this kind of
:05:15. > :05:18.crime. The mother of one of the men
:05:18. > :05:20.accused of the murder of Constable Stephen Carroll has pleaded guilty
:05:20. > :05:23.to obstructing police officers investigating the killing. Sharon

:06:01. > :06:04.Belfast City council committee which oversees the crematorium.
:06:04. > :06:14.Critics say the increase should have been phased in earlier over a
:06:14. > :06:15.
:06:15. > :06:19.number of years. There's only one sure thing about life - someday
:06:20. > :06:25.we'll all die. And the issue about what to do with all the dead people
:06:25. > :06:30.is something which is constantly on the agenda of those whose job it is
:06:30. > :06:33.to deal with it. Burial is still the choice of most, but the number
:06:33. > :06:39.of cremations has been rising and now Belfast City Council will
:06:39. > :06:44.operate Northern Ireland's only Crematorium, are hiking the cost of
:06:44. > :06:49.cremations by 25%. The increase will bring him roughly �120,000
:06:50. > :06:53.year into the city council and our committee has to make sure our
:06:53. > :06:59.equipment and how we deal with the dead in society is dealt with
:06:59. > :07:05.properly. That costs money. The committee needs more money to
:07:05. > :07:11.maintain and develop and service. The review of burial and cremation
:07:11. > :07:21.rates means charges for Belfast residents will go from �198 an

:07:26. > :07:30.edification at the beginning of March and not all councillors are
:07:30. > :07:34.in favour. We can't understand why members felt it was important to
:07:34. > :07:39.push it up as high as 25%, especially in the present situation
:07:39. > :07:42.where many people are finding it hard to make ends meet. I have no
:07:42. > :07:47.doubt that the greater number of people in Belfast will be horrified
:07:47. > :07:51.at this decision. Undertakers have also been taken aback by the scale
:07:51. > :07:56.of the rise. Even if the understand a need for more investment in
:07:56. > :08:01.infrastructure. -- they understand the need. It will change
:08:01. > :08:07.dramatically because they are running out of ground. They will
:08:07. > :08:11.need places to go, the only place to go risk to the crematorium and

:08:26. > :08:29.The Old Bailey bomber Marian Price has been moved from Maghaberry
:08:29. > :08:32.Prison to the women's jail at Hydebank Wood in Belfast. The
:08:32. > :08:34.authorities say it's for health reasons. News of the transfer came
:08:34. > :08:37.as the Secretary of State rejected further claims that her detention
:08:37. > :08:40.was a form of internment without trial. Our Political Correspondent
:08:40. > :08:43.Gareth Gordon reports. Marian Price was moved to Hydebank
:08:43. > :08:47.Wood this morning. The Prison Service said it was because of
:08:48. > :08:51.concerns about her health and had nothing to do with claims she is
:08:51. > :08:56.being interned without trial. The woman best known for bombing the
:08:56. > :08:59.Old Bailey in 1973 was released from prison in 1980 on
:08:59. > :09:02.compassionate grounds but she was sent back nine months ago after
:09:02. > :09:06.being filmed at a dissident republican rally in Londonderry
:09:06. > :09:14.last Easter. She has been charged in relation to that and in
:09:14. > :09:18.connection with the murders of two soldiers in March 2009. Placed
:09:18. > :09:24.twice in prison over three weeks. There was a considerable
:09:24. > :09:28.deterioration on her health. She is 47, a mother, and Auntie, sister. I
:09:29. > :09:32.believe unless there is a case tabled in court than the woman
:09:32. > :09:42.should be released. Today the Secretary of State said he entirely
:09:42. > :09:52.
:09:52. > :10:00.There were mixed views today on the decision. I think in the face of
:10:00. > :10:07.very strong public opinion, not only last night, but this has been
:10:07. > :10:13.building amongst people that he has made this decision. There are
:10:13. > :10:17.questions to be asked as to why she has been moved in the first place.
:10:17. > :10:22.It is important she stays in prison and that is the key thing because
:10:22. > :10:25.there has been due process followed, the Secretary of State has made it
:10:25. > :10:31.clear this is not internment, so to suggest there is pandering to do
:10:31. > :10:35.some Republicans. The case is being considered by an independent panel
:10:35. > :10:45.of parole Commissioners but it is another example of how the past in
