Hello and welcome to BBC Newsline. The headlines this Tuesday evening. | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
We hear the human cost as over �100 million is spent settling medical | :00:27. | :00:36. | |
negligence claims. Jenny will never be back as the same person and | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
there is no money in the world that can bring him back. A man accused | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
of leading the Real IRA walks free from court for a second time. How | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
the man charged with murdering baby Millie explained why her blood was | :00:48. | :00:56. | |
on his clothes. Two fishermen are rescued after their boat sinks off | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
the County Down coast. I'm live with the details. A win for | :01:02. | :01:11. | |
Coleraine against Linfield leaves the title race wide open. It was a | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
mild 15 degrees today but will temperatures be the same tomorrow? | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
Find out shortly. �116 million of public money has been spent | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
settling medical negligence cases here over the last five years. The | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
figures have been revealed in a report by the spending watchdog. | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
Dealing with all the cases which are going on at the moment could | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
cost even more. And on top of that, there are the lasting human costs, | :01:38. | :01:46. | |
as Chris Page reports. Four-and-a- half years ago, James Stewart went | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
into hospital with chest infection. He suffered brain damage after a | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
series of mistakes by staff and the Belfast Health Trust expressed | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
regret. His family care for him in his home in west Belfast. They have | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
taken legal action which is still not fully resolved. No money in the | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
world will ever bring him back. All we want is for things to be right. | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
There are mistakes in everyday life. But he will never be back the same | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
person. There is no money in the world that can bring him back. This | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
is the consequence. Now, the financial cost of negligence to the | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
health service is clear. The spending watchdog has found that | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
the bill for settling claims was �116 million over the last five | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
years. Of that, �77 million was compensation, the rest was made | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
above legal and administrative costs. The report estimates that | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
case is currently in the system could cost the Department even more. | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
Up to �136 million. The solicitor who is involved in a number of | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
negligence cases says the sums are not surprising. It is because of | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
the cost of care, in medical negligence cases and catastrophic | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
cases is very high. If it goes over a long period of time, you find | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
that makes up the bulk and you find that with birth defects and so on, | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
that is over a young child and over the cost -- course of their life. | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
The report says that Northern Ireland's Health trusts provide a | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
high standard of care but it says that reducing the number of | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
incidents where patients are put at risk is our responsibility for the | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
trusts and the Department of Health. To do that, it says they should | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
have a culture in which incidents can be reported easily, honestly | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
and without fear of blame. The Health Minister says his department | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
will consider the findings as part of ongoing work to ensure that | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
services are safe, effective and Patient focused. But he says it | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
would be inappropriate to comment further. Because the report is | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
likely to be the subject of a hearing by the Assembly's Public | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
Accounts Committee. Linda Stewart and her family are hoping their | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
case will be settled next month. Whatever money is involved, the | :04:16. | :04:24. | |
personal cost of what has happened is impossible to estimate for them. | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
A man accused of being one of the leaders of Real IRA has had | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
terrorism charges against him dropped. It's the second time that | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
Kevin Barry Murphy has walked free from court after facing serious | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
charges. Niall Blaney reports. This is the man that police described as | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
the leader of the Real IRA in East Tyrone and a member of its ruling | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
army council. This afternoon, Kevin Barry Murphy walked free from a | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
court in Armagh after the Public Prosecution Service withdrew the | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
charges against him. He had been accused of involvement in an | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
alleged bomb-making factory discovered in South Armagh in April | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
last year. The 41-year-old was arrested after searches in Keady | :05:04. | :05:12. | |
uncovered components used for home- made bombs. Mr Murphy from Altowen | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
Park in Coalisland always denied his involvement. Consistently for | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
14 months, we have denied this and asked one every hearing in front of | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
this judged to produce this evidence, produce any evidence of | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
any sort or release us on bail. We have been consistently denied all | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
of this because the truth is, somebody said we were guilty of | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
something without evidence and that that isn't tantamount to internment, | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
nothing is. In 2004, Mr Murphy was one of four men acquitted of | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
conspiracy to murder members of the security forces. They claimed they | :05:49. | :05:56. | |
had been set up by an alleged informer, Gareth O'Connor. His body | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
was discovered in a car in Newry canal in 2005. Today, charges | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
relating to the bomb-making factory were also withdrawn against four of | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
Mr Murphy's co-accused, three of whom remain in custody on separate | :06:04. | :06:14. | |
:06:14. | :06:17. | ||
alleged offences. Two fishermen were at the centre of a dramatic | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
sea rescue this morning when their trawler sank 12 miles off the | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
County Down coast. The Ardglass registered boat, the Snowdonia, was | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
off Kilkeel when it got into trouble. Julie McCullough is in | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
Kilkeel tonight. What more do you know about what happened? I can't | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
tell you that the two men had been fishing for prongs this morning and | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
their boat, Snowdonia, started taking on water. To save themselves, | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
they actually jumped into the water and assured time later, the boat | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
completely sank. Thankfully, another fishing boat was in the | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
area and it was able to take both men are on board. As Andrew | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
McConnell from Kilkeel lifebuoy explained, by that time, both men | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
had been in the water for around him minutes. When we got there, | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
they were on board, the crewman was in the Calais with a coat around | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
him and the skipper was in the wheelhouse. He was in a bad shape | :07:21. | :07:31. | |
with hypothermia, and he was freezing with the cold. Shaking. | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
Because of concerns for their health, they decided to get the | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
coastguard helicopter from Dublin to get the men to Daisy Hill | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
hospital as quickly as possible. The good news to the story is that | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
both men have since been discharged. Back to the studio. Thank you very | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
much. Still to come on the programme. Is Derry on your list of | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
dream destinations? We'll be finding out why it's the place to | :07:55. | :08:05. | |
be. The man accused of murdering Millie Martin told police that he | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
had blood on his clothes from his attempts to resuscitate the toddler. | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
The trial also heard that when Barry McCarney was arrested he told | :08:13. | :08:23. | |
:08:23. | :08:24. | ||
the child's mother, Rachael Martin, to trust him. Barry McCarney said | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
he returned to the house after taking Millie Martin to the Erne | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
Hospital. He wanted to pick up close for Rachael Martin and | :08:31. | :08:38. | |
collect her teddy bears to bring to Belfast. He said he had put on | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
trainers as he had left the house in his socks and that he changed | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
his top as there was blood on the sleeve. He said he had nicked | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
Millie's lip when he was breathing into Millie's mouth to resuscitate | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
her and that he had wiped his mouth on his sleeve. The previous day he | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
said Millie wasn't eating and that Rachael was completely stressed. At | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
home he said Rachael burst into tears and he comforted her. He said | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
he had a very good relationship with Rachael and that they were | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
also very good friends. He said Rachael would use his nickname when | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
putting Millie to bed, asking if she had a kiss for Barry Budgie. | :09:09. | :09:19. | |
:09:19. | :09:20. | ||
She always does, he said. Even though he had two children of his | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
own, he told police he had never once in his life changed a baby's | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
nappy. He said he sometimes looked after Millie while Rachael was at | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
the shop but he was never left alone with the toddler for more | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
than an hour. When he was arrested by a policeman on suspicion of | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
raping Millie, Barry McCarney said he told Rachael, don't listen to | :09:38. | :09:46. | |
what he says, trust me. The School of Dentistry at Queen's University | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
has been severely criticised by the UK body which regulates dental | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
professionals. Following a re- inspection of the school, the | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
General Dental Council said only limited progress had been made and | :09:57. | :10:05. | |
the programme remains in a fragile state. The head of the medical | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
school says the teaching accreditation for dentistry is not | :10:07. | :10:16. | |
at risk. Marie-Louise Connolly reports. For students enrolled, it | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
is a tough five-year programme where medical knowledge is mixed | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
with clinical experience. Part of Queen's University, Northern | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
Ireland's only dental training school, is based in the Royal | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
Victoria site in Belfast but after members of staff faced concerns | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
last year, the standard of teaching and the level of funding was | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
inspected by the General Dental Council, the UK body which | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
regulates the profession. Following a reinspection in 20th March 12, | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
the inspectors' report talks about the slow pace of progress in an | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
environment where staff morale is low. It highlights lack of | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
leadership and that many senior academic posts remain unfilled. | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
Queen's University says improvements have been made, | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
including attempts to find staff and improving the overall student | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
experience. And they insist they are not at risk of losing their | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
teaching accreditation. I actually believe that but all the activity | :11:15. | :11:22. | |
going on a the moment, led by the University, the course is sound and | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
that is a comment that came from the chief executive of the General | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
Dental Council. Four years ago, the school was full to the best in the | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
UK and those in the field say it's paramount that standards are | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
maintained to attract the best to combat teach and work in Belfast. | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
The school is really important in the lives of dentists in Northern | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
Ireland from the point of view of teaching, postgraduate teaching to | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
those dentists, the research the school provides and the service to | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
patients that is consultant lead and that's very important. Why the | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
report describes as good as being fragile, the inspectors also said | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
that the programme should continue it to be deemed sufficient. However, | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
if that is to continue, they want to see evidence that certain | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
requirements have been met when they return it next year to carry | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
out another inspection. San Francisco and Amsterdam are at the | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
top of many people's dream holiday destinations but what about | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
Londonderry? It has joined those two tourism powerhouses as one of | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
the world's top cities to visit in 2013. The recommendation is made by | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
a leading travel guide. Keiron Tourish has more. It's the type of | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
publicity you could not buy. Being placed on a list of one of the best | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
places to visit next year. According to the Lonely Planet's | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
Best In Travel 2013 guide, Derry is ranked in fourth position, behind | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
places like San Francisco and Amsterdam. Naturally enough, | :12:55. | :13:02. | |
there's a great sense of pride on the banks of the Foyle. It is | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
fantastic because the city has come on so well in recent years. | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
Hopefully, it will bring a huge influx of tourists. I just cannot | :13:13. | :13:21. | |
believe it. I have had a smile on my face all morning. The travel | :13:21. | :13:28. | |
guide says that Derry is the UK City of Culture in 2013 and it is a | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
vibrant, historic city undergoing a renaissance. The Lonely Planet | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
travel guide says it is a brilliant example of a city that has bounced | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
back from difficult times. A city with heart which shines through in | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
its exciting arts and music scene. It is described as a place | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
undergoing a renaissance in the book and we stand by that, this is | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
a place that people have maybe looked at in the past and thought, | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
I will not go there now. Go, you'll enjoy it. But can the city cope | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
with the visitors expected next year? There are challenges but I | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
feel that we can maximise the opportunities that we have here. It | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
has been a difficult investment environment for the past couple of | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
years and whilst we would like more new builds, we have new rooms | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
coming on board within the next few months and we see that as an | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
opportunity for the region. During the Troubles, Derry and Northern | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
Ireland generated the type of images which put people off coming | :14:26. | :14:36. | |
:14:36. | :14:36. | ||
here. But now it seems there is a different perception of the place. | :14:36. | :14:43. | |
It is very nice. The people are very nice. I love Derry. It is a | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
very friendly place. Locals say that friendly attitude and a very | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
parochial greeting always makes visitors welcome. Here is a flavour. | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
What about you? What is the crack? There is no doubt that the | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
publicity generated by the ranking will be seen as a huge marketing | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
opportunity by those promoting the City. The challenge now, of course, | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
is to be in a position to cater for all those tourists intent on coming | :15:11. | :15:21. | |
:15:21. | :15:21. | ||
here next year. Just a couple of weeks ago we told you about this | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
year's disastrous apple crop in County Armagh, with yields | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
decimated by the poor weather. But there is a silver lining to the | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
Orchard County's cloud. Cider. A decade ago there wasn't a single | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
artisan producer in the county. Now, there are seven and all seem to be | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
on the up with demand growing relentlessly. Gordon Adair has been | :15:36. | :15:45. | |
to meet some of those at the core of this boom. A bright cider apple | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
is a thing of beauty and it is something that is increasingly | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
inspiring passion. What makes good cider? By good apples. You can make | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
cider in 10 days, fermenting apple juice. But making it palatable, | :15:59. | :16:06. | |
with people coming back for, that is the art. This is from Keady, | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
this is very sweet. David up Richard is one of those practising | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
that art. We have got to the stage where people want quality product. | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
They are prepared to pay more for that. Over the next cheers, we | :16:21. | :16:28. | |
would like to see people coming round and changing to a product | :16:28. | :16:35. | |
that has a feel that is closer to the Apple itself. Philip was one of | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
the first artisan producers to set up here. The out, he is the biggest. | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
They say it's a long-term project and that is an understatement. | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
patted his first cider orchard in the mid- 1990s but it was one | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
decade and a have before he could produce commercially on his farm. | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
Just three years ago, he was producing less than 7000 litres, | :16:57. | :17:04. | |
and this year? Probably about 120,000 pictures. Because they make | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
cider from apples and not from concentrate, we have to put down | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
all of the cider in this next month. We cannot buy apples after that. | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
They are only available at harvest time. In 2000, he helped form an | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
association of Mecca's, an association which are still growing. | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
It is a craft industry, it is very widely available in the West of | :17:30. | :17:38. | |
England and in France. That is to recreate that value added craft to | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
the farms. Everybody would prefer to have locally produced food, no | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
miles, keeping it simple but still having a very high quality and that | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
is what will decide the success of the project. Providing the cider is | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
a high-quality and remains a high quality and they will be a huge | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
market for it. Producers like David and Philip are determined to take | :18:04. | :18:13. | |
advantage of that market. You're watching BBC Newsline. Later in the | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
programme. The end of an era as the digital switchover is marked by the | :18:19. | :18:29. | |
:18:29. | :18:29. | ||
first-ever joint BBC UTV project. Sport and Linfield, usually so | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
dominant in local football, aren't having it their own way so far this | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
season. Coleraine are starting to have a real say in the Premiership | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
season. A five-goal thriller at the Showgrounds saw the Bannsiders | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
snatch a dramatic 3-2 win over champions Linfield. So, David | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
Jeffrey's side remain in the lower half of the table, 11 points behind | :18:45. | :18:54. | |
the leaders. Mark Sidebottom reports. Tough times for David | :18:54. | :19:02. | |
Jeffrey. 30 trophies in 15 years. Linfield are beset by pretenders to | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
their throne. Coleraine show the champions little respect with an | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
early two-goal salvo. Darren boys's clinical opening blow was followed | :19:11. | :19:20. | |
by a this second thrust from Curtis Allen. When did, the champions | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
responded. Just like that! before half-time, they had a very | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
strong claim for a penalty, denied by the officials. They might have | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
something to say about that. men it looked to have snatched a | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
point in the dying moments through the foot of Brian Henderson. Only | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
for her artistry at the other end to secure the win and three points | :19:44. | :19:52. | |
for the home side. Right at the death! The champions stay in 8th | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
place, Coleraine are in second. Celtic face arguably the ultimate | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
challenge in club football tonight away to Barcelona in the Champions | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
League. Manager Neil Lennon admits that it will be a real test taking | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
on one of the best sides in Europe, with Lionel Messi, the best player | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
in the world, within their ranks. don't think I could come up with | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
any superlatives that will do the Manchester us. But we cannot just | :20:20. | :20:29. | |
concentrate on him. Pedro, Fabregas, the list is endless. The players | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
that could be a potential threat but a Lionel Messi it is that bit | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
special. But we're not here for a holiday. We're here to play | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
football. And we are going to be in for a very tough 90 minutes but we | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
want Barcelona to be in for a very tough 90 minutes as well. | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
organisers of motorcycling's North West 200 say that the success this | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
year of Thursday night racing means further changes will be made to the | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
race programme next year. An enthusiastic response from both | :20:55. | :21:03. | |
fans and riders has led to changes to the festival. The race format | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
will change, three races on Thursday night, Superstock, | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
Supersport and the supertwin. Last year, we had racing on the evening | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
and this year we introduced three races and on the Saturday race day, | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
five races, including a new race on Saturday. We have taken a lot of | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
feedback from competitors and the team's to say that they need a | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
break in the afternoon. Because they have five races. Supertwins, | :21:31. | :21:39. | |
that should help. They may have lost their injured captain for | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
eight weeks but Ulster are able to recall another key player, Roger | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
Wilson, to the squad for Friday's Pro12 game against Newport Gwent | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
Dragons. Wilson, who began his career at Ravenhill, is set for his | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
first competitive match of the season since rejoining Ulster from | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
Northampton. His return is a big boost for his team-mates. It is | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
going to massive, Berkeley is a great player and he had 100 caps | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
for Ulster. 100 for Northampton. That speaks of his quality and how | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
well he can do it. It has been unfortunate with injury but you can | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
see a real impact from him. That will be live on the BBC on Friday. | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
Finally, congratulations the Northern Ireland women's under 19 | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
side who have beaten Hungary 3-2 to guarantee qualification for the | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
Elite stage of UEFA European Championships in the spring, one | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
stage away from the finals. The Republic of Ireland and Scotland | :22:26. | :22:35. | |
:22:36. | :22:36. | ||
women's teams have also made it through. It really is the end of an | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
era as Northern Ireland completes the digital switchover. The | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
analogue signal will be turned off later tonight. That means no more | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
BBC One, BBC Two or the commercial channels unless you have digital TV. | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
And to mark what really is a technological milestone, the first | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
ever joint BBC-UTV programme will be broadcast tonight as Natasha | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
Sayee reports. The BBC's Blackstaff studio is buzzing as the camera | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
crews get ready for tonight's special programme. While we say | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
goodbye to the old analogue channels. Yes, there's a touch of | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
nostalgia. But it is a celebration, too, looking back at best of local | :23:12. | :23:20. | |
television over the past 60 years. It does not matter if you are 18 or | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
20, there is something there for you that you will remember from | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
your past and the music and the clips and those personalities | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
involved. It is a real trip down memory lane and visually, it will | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
not happen again, and we are looking at the past but with this | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
switchover, we'd move seamlessly into the future. Plus there's a | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
chance for you to get involved we want to know your most memorable TV | :23:46. | :23:54. | |
moment. Here's what you can choose from. I had to go to the Minister | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
at Stormont to fight for fair play. Don't you argue with me. I'm the | :24:00. | :24:10. | |
:24:10. | :24:14. | ||
Pope! Thank you very much! sorry, this is my traditional route. | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
I would just pass on, here. Traffic wardens are hardly a Belfast | :24:20. | :24:30. | |
:24:30. | :24:38. | ||
phenomenon. Ph.. Phe... Phenomenon! A this is a Dublin train. I'm going | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
to take part in a protest in Ballymena. You can vote for your | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
magic moment online. Of course, there's an important message coming | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
out of all of this. The fact that at 11.30pm tonight, all analogue | :24:54. | :25:04. | |
:25:04. | :25:04. | ||
channels will be gone. People will have more choice, things like high- | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
definition broadcasting and other ways to incorrect but the same | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
great programmes we have all this produced. Today, the talent, the | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
producers, we have come together to make one programme for the audience, | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
current affairs and light entertainment, things that made | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
television great over the last 60 years. The Magic Box will be shown | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
on BBC One NI and on UTV tonight at 10:35pm and if you are still stuck | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
in the switchover process and need some help, there are advice points | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
across Northern Ireland, including outside Belfast City Hall and | :25:33. | :25:43. | |
:25:43. | :25:43. | ||
outside the Guildhall in Londonderry tomorrow and Thursday. | :25:43. | :25:51. | |
Giant haystacks gets my vote! Now We say goodbye to the old graphics | :25:51. | :25:58. | |
on Ceefax but we shall keep you up- to-date. Today, we reached | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
temperatures of 15 degrees, above average for this time of year so | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
not too bad. We have a lot of cloud around at the moment and as a | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
result, that will act like a blanket. Many areas will not fall | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
below double figures. It's a mad night. Some countryside areas, in | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
the West, could run and that. That brings us into tomorrow and it will | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
be a rather cloudy day as that cloud sticks around, perhaps not as | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
sunny as in some places but it shall be mainly dry. To begin with, | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
lots of cloud, easily wind feeling cooler on the Antrim coast but in | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
the West, not bad. The cloud breaking up eventually for the | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
afternoon and a lulling hazy sunshine to come through. | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
Especially in the West but even in parts of Antrim and County Down and | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
County Armagh, one or two bricks. Temperatures, 13 or 14 degrees and | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
in any sunshine it will fade better than that. We end on a pretty | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
decent note with the chance of damp weather towards the south-east but | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
for most people, it's a dry end to the day. Tomorrow night will be | :27:05. | :27:11. | |
colder. 10 or 11 degrees, tomorrow, seven or eight degrees. They will | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
be a chill in the air. Thursday will be colder. 10 or 11 degrees | :27:16. | :27:23. | |
for most of us. The easterly wind keeping it feel cooler. It's a dry | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
day with the best chance of damp weather across the east over Antrim | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
and down and perhaps parts of Armagh. It will be colder overnight | :27:32. | :27:39. | |
into Friday and that is when we begin to taste the first Arctic. It | :27:39. | :27:44. | |
will feel cold from Friday and into the weekend. Temperatures barely | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
getting up into seven or eight degrees. As you can imagine, it | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
will be pretty chilly at night. We will keep you up-to-date, follow us | :27:51. | :28:00. |
