fails to produce an agreement among the five Executive parties. Richard | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
Haass said he would be contacting the and it seemed a return to | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
Belfast was dependent on whether progress could be made. The | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
Americans will return to Northern Ireland short the and will hold | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
individual meetings with the five political parties on Saturday, it is | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
expected there will be a round table meeting on Saturday night. Before he | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
left Belfast, Richard Haass said he was disappointed in the work that | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
had been done on flags when no agreement could be found. On the | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
issues of parading in the past, he said the work done by the parties | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
was quite impressive. He remains hopeful that an agreement can be | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
achieved by the end of the year. A pilot and his passenger needed | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
hospital treatment after the small plane they were in crash-landed | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
yesterday in County Armagh. It came down close to houses near an | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
airstrip at Mullahead Road near Tandragee. One of the men was in | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
intensive care, but is now said to be in a stable condition. The other | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
man's condition is not known. A 21-year-old man is in a serious | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
condition in hospital after being stabbed in West Belfast. It happened | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
in a house at Roden Street this morning. | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
Kennels designed for Presidential guard duty have become home to | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
rescue dogs in County Tyrone. The police have donated the dog pens | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
used during the G8 Summit in June to an animal shelter near Omagh. Our | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
district reporter, Julian Fowler, has been to see how the dogs are | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
settling in to their new surroundings. | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
From G8 to canine, these pens were used to house police dogs during the | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
summit of world leaders at Lough Erne in June. Now surplus to | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
requirements, the PSNI donated these kennels and runs to help support the | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
work here. They are professional, they will | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
hold two or three dogs at one time, and the kennels are dry and secure | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
for the dogs, so it is really good. Great to get something that has been | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
used and we will feel the benefit from the G8. | :02:44. | :02:53. | |
This charity nearly faced homelessness early this year. The | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
rescue animals are now settling into their new surroundings. Residents | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
have been keeping a close eye on the work taking place here. | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
Over the past 15 years, the shelter has re-homed over 10,000 animals and | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
their new site will allow the charity to open to the public for | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
the first time. We hope the turnaround will become a | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
lot faster and we will save a lot more animals. This year, we have | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
saved just over 600 and hopefully, we will increase that next year. | :03:26. | :03:37. | |
They are now hearing up for January. -- gearing got. January is normally | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
their biggest month, with unsold puppies and unwanted cats and dogs | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
and pets given.. Now they have found a new home, the shelter can | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
concentrate on looking after all the animals in their care. And providing | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
good homes. Sport now, and in local football, | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
Linfield extended their lead at the top of the table to six points, | :03:54. | :03:57. | |

Crusaders. Glenavon won 3-2 against Portadown and Ballymena United | :04:02. | :04:07. | |

And in hockey, in the first-ever double-header of Finals at | :04:17. | :04:19. | |

Good evening, I hope you have made the most of a lovely Boxing Day | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
because it is all change from here. We already have framework and into | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
the West and the Met Office has a yellow warning for strong winds and | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
heavy rain -- we already have rain. An unpleasant night, plenty of rain | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
and wind, wet and wild. When we get to Friday morning, showers and | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
strong winds throughout the day. It is a complete contrast to the | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
weather we have enjoyed today. This is the picture on Friday, plenty of | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
showers. Just about everywhere. Seven or eight degrees, but it is | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
not going to feel very nice. Just a horrid day. A day to stay inside by | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
the fire. What is driving the weather is this low-pressure system. | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
We get a bit of a respite behind it, giving us a couple of clearer days | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
into the weekend. Saturday is not too bad. It will stay reasonably dry | :05:47. | :05:55. | |
with bright intervals. The wind will drop of three Saturday. Sunday | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
starts in a similar fashion, not a bad day. Then the skies cloud over. | :06:02. | :06:11. | |
The picture over the next couple of days is those Atlantique | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
low-pressure systems. Stormy days, before storms return on Monday -- | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
Atlantique. The next news is at 10:15pm, that | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
afternoon. Enjoy the rest of your Boxing Day. -- good afternoon. | :06:28. | :06:30. |
