:00:07. > :00:13.Good evening. Jail sentences of six years and 21 months have been handed
:00:14. > :00:16.down to two men over the death of a police officer last year. Constable
:00:17. > :00:21.Phillipa Reynolds was killed when a stolen car crashed into a police
:00:22. > :00:32.patrol in Londonderry. One of the men was convicted of her
:00:33. > :00:36.manslaughter. Filippo Reynolds was described as a popular and friendly
:00:37. > :00:46.officer committed to serving the community. Her police car was hit on
:00:47. > :00:52.the night of February last year. This man admitted a series of
:00:53. > :00:59.charges, including manslaughter. This man, who has a lengthy criminal
:01:00. > :01:04.record, admitted aggravated vehicle taking, causing death. Both men had
:01:05. > :01:09.been drinking heavily and had consumed a large amount of drugs.
:01:10. > :01:15.The judge said nothing he could say would take away the terrible loss
:01:16. > :01:24.suffered by the family of Philippa Reynolds. He said that the
:01:25. > :01:31.defendants did not care for what they had been doing. One of them was
:01:32. > :01:39.driving at 80 miles an hour before the fatal crash. The judge described
:01:40. > :01:54.it as an act of recklessness. He said afterwards they behaved like
:01:55. > :02:04.how words by fleeing the scene. The family of Filippo Reynolds, which
:02:05. > :02:09.included her father and my mother -- mother sat in the public gallery as
:02:10. > :02:15.the sentences handed down. Filippo Reynolds.
:02:16. > :02:17.A man caught with ?1 million worth of cannabis has been given a
:02:18. > :02:20.six-year sentence. 50-year-old Matthew Tyrie from Knockleigh Walk
:02:21. > :02:24.in Greenisland will spend three years in prison and three years on
:02:25. > :02:27.bail. Tyrie was caught with 210 kilos of cannabis resin when police
:02:28. > :02:30.stopped a car outside Hillsborough last year. It was the biggest
:02:31. > :02:35.seizure of cannabis resin for five years here.
:02:36. > :02:37.A shift in planning policy will create greater challenges for
:02:38. > :02:40.out-of-town shopping developments to get approval. The Department of
:02:41. > :02:43.Environment move will be welcome news for town centres, as our
:02:44. > :02:51.economics and business editor John Campbell reports.
:02:52. > :02:58.Our town centres have been suffering for years. New figures suggest
:02:59. > :03:02.Carrickfergus has suffered more than most. It has been suggested that
:03:03. > :03:09.more than one in five shots are empty. The recession and Internet
:03:10. > :03:18.shopping have definitely played a part. There are also large
:03:19. > :03:21.superstores nearby. One retailer is bucking the trend. He is risking
:03:22. > :03:33.opening a new shop, but is aware of the problems. It is difficult, but
:03:34. > :03:42.we have got to try. Now, it is hoped it will be harder for large retail
:03:43. > :03:52.chains to get fanning permission. The new planning reform suggests:
:03:53. > :04:05.So, does this mean a blanket ran on out-of-town developments? It is
:04:06. > :04:12.important that any policy should look towards how we can revitalise
:04:13. > :04:15.our town and city centres which are suffering badly and have been for
:04:16. > :04:26.some time. The move today could throw bleak plans into doubt. --
:04:27. > :04:37.throw these plans into doubt. Last year John Lewis withdrawal --
:04:38. > :04:44.withdrew its plans to move into and out of town area. There have been
:04:45. > :04:49.questions over local councils applying the plan and with our local
:04:50. > :04:56.councils getting their hands on running control, the focus will be
:04:57. > :05:01.on their decisions as well. A woman has been robbed and kicked
:05:02. > :05:04.in the face by two men as she pushed her child in a pram in Belfast. It
:05:05. > :05:08.happened at Roden Street this afternoon. She was pulled to the
:05:09. > :05:11.ground and her handbag taken. The woman was taken to hospital for
:05:12. > :05:13.treatment to her injuries, which are not life threatening. Her child
:05:14. > :05:16.wasn't hurt. A bill to make major changes to
:05:17. > :05:23.public sector pensions has been passed by the Assembly. The Public
:05:24. > :05:27.Service Pensions Bill aims to move pensions to a model based on average
:05:28. > :05:34.earnings with the pension age linked to the state pension age. The change
:05:35. > :05:37.will affect up to 260,000 workers. This is bad news for almost a
:05:38. > :05:42.quarter of a million public servants today. They have been paying more
:05:43. > :05:47.for their pensions and it has been confirmed that they will have two
:05:48. > :05:54.work longer to get that pension. If they have to work up to an extra
:05:55. > :06:00.eight years, that is a fifth of their working life and it will deny
:06:01. > :06:03.young people opportunities. The Presbyterian Church has elected
:06:04. > :06:06.a new moderator. A former schoolteacher, 63-year-old Reverend
:06:07. > :06:09.Michael Barry, has been the minister of Sandy Street Presbyterian Church
:06:10. > :06:12.in Newry for 28 years. Dr Barry will take up office in June in succession
:06:13. > :06:16.to Dr Rob Craig, who will continue as Moderator until that time.
:06:17. > :06:20.A petrol bombing in County Fermanagh knocked out telephone and broadband
:06:21. > :06:30.services to hundreds of people. The attack was near the headquarters of
:06:31. > :06:38.the former Quinn Group in Derrylin. Another attack, apparently aimed at
:06:39. > :06:45.the communication network of local company. These cabinets were
:06:46. > :06:51.opposite the headquarters. A number of men were seen on this road at
:06:52. > :06:55.about 9:15pm last night. It appears that the boxes were pushed over
:06:56. > :06:58.before petrol bombs were thrown. Significant damage has been caused.
:06:59. > :07:04.The people who carried this out may have wanted to attack the company,
:07:05. > :07:09.but once again the consequences of their actions have been felt in the
:07:10. > :07:12.wider community. Several hundred customers in the area have lost
:07:13. > :07:19.their telephone and broadband. It is the latest in a series of attacks on
:07:20. > :07:25.properties owned by the Queen family. Their business empire
:07:26. > :07:28.recently collapsed. Sean Quinn has condemned the attacks, saying those
:07:29. > :07:33.responsible are not acting in his name.
:07:34. > :07:36.A Japanese car parts firm has announced an expansion in the
:07:37. > :07:38.workforce at its factory in Carrickfergus. Ryobi Aluminium
:07:39. > :07:41.Casting is investing in new machinery to expand its product
:07:42. > :07:45.range. The ?32 million investment will mean an extra 100 jobs and this
:07:46. > :07:55.expansion will bring to 386 the number of people working at the
:07:56. > :08:04.plant. 2014 we will increase our output by 25%, which is a big step
:08:05. > :08:07.in one year. We see that continuing to increase within the next five
:08:08. > :08:17.years. Certainly our volume is increasing over the next five years.
:08:18. > :08:19.Football, and in the Danke Bank Premiership tonight Cliftonville
:08:20. > :08:21.beat Ballymena United 3-1, while Coleraine drew 1-1 with
:08:22. > :08:30.Ballinamallard United. Parts of Cork city are flooded tonight. The bad
:08:31. > :08:35.weather is now heading north. Here is the weather forecast. Another wet
:08:36. > :08:40.and windy night ahead. We have warnings for strong winds. Another
:08:41. > :08:44.area of low pressure is brewing to the south of Ireland. Rain across
:08:45. > :08:53.Northern Ireland and winds will touch severe gale force along the
:08:54. > :08:58.north coast. The combination of strong winds, the heavy rain and the
:08:59. > :09:06.high tide could mean a risk of flooding. Probably not so badgering
:09:07. > :09:12.the day tomorrow, but not as bad as Monday, but it will be a bad day
:09:13. > :09:18.with strong winds and heavy rain in many places. Unpleasant tomorrow
:09:19. > :09:28.morning. Heavy rain with strong and gusty winds. There will also be an
:09:29. > :09:34.area of heavy rain across the Grampians in Scotland. Wet weather
:09:35. > :09:38.across southern Britain and the Republic of Ireland. There will be a
:09:39. > :09:43.risk of coastal flooding. By tomorrow afternoon there will be a
:09:44. > :09:48.fair bit of rain across Northern Ireland. Things gradually easing
:09:49. > :09:52.later in the day and tomorrow night. On Thursday, showers in the
:09:53. > :09:58.north and west. Bright and breezy, but not a bad day. Friday will be
:09:59. > :10:01.better with some sunshine. Most places will be dry. That is it for
:10:02. > :10:04.now. Good night. Aren't police meant to keep us safe?
:10:05. > :10:10.Isn't that what they do?! and prove it,
:10:11. > :10:27.or let me go back to work.
