struggled with an Australian barrage all tour. Let's hope this guy has a | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
lot more success Good evening. The political talks | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
chaired by the former US diplomat, Richard Haass, have broken up | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
without agreement. Dr Haass has gone home for Christmas. He'll now send | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
revised proposals on flags, parades and the past to the five Executive | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
parties, and will decide later whether to return. Mark Devenport | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
has this report. Dr Richard Haass had harboured real | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
hopes is could broker a deal before Christmas. Last night's overnight | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
session was his most determined effort to persuade the parties. But | :00:41. | :00:48. | |
after eight hours, Dr Haass and his co-chair had to concede there would | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
be no deal for now. I'm not in the business of doing postmortem -- | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
postmortems because the patient is still alive. It became clear over | :00:58. | :01:06. | |
the last few hours that despite the fact we had invested something like | :01:07. | :01:14. | |
40 hours in the last two days alone, it just became clear that it | :01:15. | :01:23. | |
wasn't going to be possible. The negotiators made the best of the | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
outcome. We have to be realistic. There remains a significant | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
difference across all three areas under negotiation. I think with | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
further effort we are capable of closing the gap. We could have done | :01:39. | :01:48. | |
a deal. We didn't manage to do it. Dr Richard Haass says he may come | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
back. We did not get there tonight but I think we did get real in terms | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
of a better understanding of what everybody's bottom line is and why | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
they are taking the positions they are taking. I remain optimistic. | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
There is a lot we can get over the line in the next few days. We have | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
not got a Christmas Eve deal but we can still achieve a New Year's Eve | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
deal. That is the purpose of the night. Tonight we have been talking | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
about those fundamental issues. People no need to reflect on what | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
they have heard and what they have said and on their own position, and | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
they need to reflect on that in light of the expectations in our | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
community. There was no single stumbling block. But unionist | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
expressed concern that some proposals for dealing with the | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
troubled past may deal -- may lead to the security forces being under | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
tough scrutiny than polymeric -- paramilitaries. The future of a deal | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
depends on the responses of the parties to Dr Richard Haass's next | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
proposals and his acceptance of their willingness to compromise. | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
Police are investigating reports of a gun attack on Lisnaskea PSNI | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
station in County Fermanagh. Local people heard shots shortly after | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
eight o'clock last night. No one was hurt. Andy West reports. | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
Through the snow, what appeared to be bullet holes puncturing the | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
perimeter fence. The police cannot confirm they have come under | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
attack, but gunfire was reported at eight o'clock last night. It is | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
thought an automatic weapon was used. I have spoken to one of the | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
people in the houses next to the police station. He said he heard the | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
gunfire coming from the road. It appears to be a drive past | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
shooting. It was an automatic rifle. So clearly there are a still some | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
people intent on murder and mayhem. It is important that people give | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
information. There are people out there who know who carried this out. | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
Nobody was injured. Police are looking through CCTV footage and | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
following all lines of inquiry. A 26-year-old man has been remanded | :04:05. | :04:07. | |

in hospital. This report from Dan Stanton. | :04:16. | :04:24. | |
Ballymena court was told that Andrew Linton from Clark Mills threw a | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
punch which knocked his victim down. -- cloth mills. It happened in the | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
early hours of yesterday morning after the two men had been drinking | :04:33. | :04:37. | |

while his victim lay unconscious on the ground. He also said the victim | :04:46. | :04:51. | |

Andrew Linton was remanded in custody and will appear in court in | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
the New Year. Two men were stabbed in Lisburn | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
early this morning. It's thought trouble broke out as people tried to | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
get into a property in the Iniscarn area. The men's injuries are said to | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
be not-life-threatening. A woman was treated for facial and body | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
injuries. A 25-year-old man was arrested but later released. | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
