Good evening. Welcome to BBC Newsline. A three-month-old baby

:00:00.:00:11.

girl who was taken to hospital with injuries earlier this week has died.

:00:12.:00:14.

A postmortem examination will be done in the next few days. This

:00:15.:00:18.

morning, the child's father, 23-year-old Christopher O'Neill from

:00:19.:00:20.

Glasvey Park in Twinbrook, appeared in court charged with grievous

:00:21.:00:28.

bodily harm against her. A charity worker who was at the

:00:29.:00:31.

Odyssey in Belfast last night has described the scenes there as being

:00:32.:00:35.

like a disaster zone. It emerged today that more than a hundred young

:00:36.:00:38.

people attending a DJ Hardwell gig had to be treated for the effects of

:00:39.:00:42.

drugs and alcohol. Helen Jones' report contains strobe lighting.

:00:43.:00:52.

Just over 24 hours later, and a clearer picture of exactly what

:00:53.:00:58.

happened at the Odyssey Arena has emerged. In 9500 strong crowd packed

:00:59.:01:04.

the arena for the gauge. It was billed at an over 16 gig, but many

:01:05.:01:10.

were much younger. It has been said that some were already drunk or high

:01:11.:01:15.

on drugs and were refused entry. A major incident was declared and the

:01:16.:01:19.

news travels fast. This woman was waiting to hear from her son who was

:01:20.:01:26.

at beginning. People were throwing up all over the floor, people passed

:01:27.:01:30.

out, there were fights left, right and centre. I was trying to text him

:01:31.:01:36.

and I was getting a reply, and then I began to think, oh, I was hearing

:01:37.:01:40.

that people were being taken to hospital, and is he one of those

:01:41.:01:44.

people taken to hospital, I cannot get hold of him. It was panic

:01:45.:01:51.

stations. This video gives us a glimpse of what was going on

:01:52.:01:57.

inside. Punches were thrown. In total, 108 people needed medical

:01:58.:02:02.

treatment and 19 of them were in hospital. The Belfast trust again a

:02:03.:02:07.

major incidents to deal with the numbers. We were told we could

:02:08.:02:12.

expect that they would be very ill and they might need intensive care

:02:13.:02:18.

or on a and other kinds of care. Happily, that was not the case. As

:02:19.:02:23.

things turned out, 19 patients attended the matter hospital or the

:02:24.:02:27.

Royal Hospital, and they needed to be admitted. They were sick enough

:02:28.:02:30.

to be admitted. But happily, most of them have there been discharged. The

:02:31.:02:35.

Odyssey Arena said the skill of incidents inside the arena was

:02:36.:02:40.

abnormal levels for a gate of its size. We do not sell alcohol without

:02:41.:02:45.

ID, that has to be a passport or a drivers license. We have security

:02:46.:02:57.

and a supervisor around, and it wasn't a heavily drinking crowd, is

:02:58.:03:01.

we're confident that we believe that properly. There is a certain time

:03:02.:03:04.

length before intoxication can show, so certain people has got inside

:03:05.:03:09.

before that. Weekend after weekend, teenagers are found drunk across the

:03:10.:03:12.

streets of Northern Ireland, and it is often volunteers that big up the

:03:13.:03:16.

pieces, as they did at the Odyssey Arena last night. We found people

:03:17.:03:21.

that had too much to drink, they do not know their limits. They are

:03:22.:03:25.

throwing up, they are sometimes unconscious, we do the best we can,

:03:26.:03:30.

and we speak to medical staff full-forward ever they need. What

:03:31.:03:33.

went on here tonight has had an impact is elsewhere. The gig has

:03:34.:03:41.

been threatened in Scotland as a serious threat to public health and

:03:42.:03:43.

safety. And you can see more on this story

:03:44.:03:46.

on our news website. An explosive device has been taken

:03:47.:03:50.

away for examination after a security alert in Lurgan. Residents

:03:51.:03:54.

had to leave their homes in Crozier Park for a time. The device was

:03:55.:03:58.

found during a planned search of a property by police.

:03:59.:04:02.

Martin McGuinness has told delegates at the Sinn Fein Ard Fheis that the

:04:03.:04:06.

time for an agreement on flags, parades and the past is 'now'. The

:04:07.:04:15.

Deputy First Minister called on those he described as sensible

:04:16.:04:18.

unionists to break free from the nay-sayers. Meanwhile the Sinn Fein

:04:19.:04:21.

chairman told delegates at the conference in Wexford that personal

:04:22.:04:27.

criticism of Gerry Adams should end. Let me say this tonight. The

:04:28.:04:30.

relentless campaign of vilification against the Republican leadership

:04:31.:04:34.

and specifically Gerry Adams in this state is a disgrace, and it should

:04:35.:04:39.

stop immediately. And you can see more from the Ard

:04:40.:04:43.

Fheis at eight o'clock tomorrow night on BBC Two.

:04:44.:04:46.

A man in his thirties has been taken to hospital after a shooting in west

:04:47.:04:49.

Belfast. It's believed two men forced their way into a house in

:04:50.:04:53.

Corrib Avenue and shot him in the knees and ankles. His injuries are

:04:54.:04:55.

not thought to be life threatening. A disability car has been set on

:04:56.:05:02.

fire during an attack on a house in Larne. A number of bricks were

:05:03.:05:05.

thrown through the front window of the property in Knockdhu Park late

:05:06.:05:08.

last night. Police say a hate crime is one line of enquiry. The owner of

:05:09.:05:13.

the car, who has spina-bifida, says the vehicle was his lifeline. My car

:05:14.:05:25.

is my life, it is my reels. -- wheels. I need it to get out and

:05:26.:05:32.

about the place. I would really need to use it.

:05:33.:05:35.

The Giro d'Italia organisers say the cycle race will generate two and a

:05:36.:05:39.

half million pounds for the local economy in May. It's predicted that

:05:40.:05:42.

more than 40 thousand visitors will come here for the three days of

:05:43.:05:49.

racing. Mark Simpson reports. Stand by for some thrills. And some

:05:50.:05:59.

spills! And plenty of colour. Including one in particular, pink,

:06:00.:06:02.

the traditional colour of the Giro d'Italia. People dressed their

:06:03.:06:08.

houses, businesses gardens, I know the government, they will have pink

:06:09.:06:11.

flowers, pink dressing around the root of the race, think of the

:06:12.:06:15.

colour of the leaders jersey, so it is great importance for the Giro

:06:16.:06:20.

d'Italia and everyone should embrace it in the month of May. Day one of

:06:21.:06:25.

this race is the team time trial from the Titanic Quarter to Stormont

:06:26.:06:32.

and back. Then there is a chip to the Causeway Coast. D3 is from

:06:33.:06:38.

County Armagh to Co Dublin. Local cycling fans can hardly believe

:06:39.:06:41.

their luck, 200 of the best cyclists in the world in three months time

:06:42.:06:45.

here on their doorstep, and to watch this race, that would be free. Even

:06:46.:06:50.

those in charge of crowd control are looking forward to it. I cannot wait

:06:51.:06:55.

for it to get here, but I'm sure there are people across the province

:06:56.:06:59.

only waking up to what a party this would be in Belfast and for the

:07:00.:07:05.

wider province in that weekend in May. Everyone is being encouraged to

:07:06.:07:07.

go pink, does that include the police? Planning is in the early

:07:08.:07:14.

stages, but watch this space! It looks like it will be a colourful

:07:15.:07:18.

occasion. Rugby and Ulster have beaten the

:07:19.:07:21.

Ospreys 10-7 at tonight's Pro12 clash at Ravenhill to move up to

:07:22.:07:25.

second place in the table. The Ospreys started the scoring with a

:07:26.:07:28.

try from Sam Lewis after ten minutes. Ruan Pienaar got the first

:07:29.:07:31.

points for the home side with this penalty after 23 minutes. Ulster's

:07:32.:07:35.

only try in the match came early in the second half from Darren Cave and

:07:36.:07:42.

was converted by Pienaar. In Gaelic football tonight there was

:07:43.:07:45.

a narrow victory for Down in their national league game against Armagh

:07:46.:07:49.

at the Athletic Grounds - the final score, Armagh two goals and five

:07:50.:07:52.

points, Down two goals and seven points.

:07:53.:07:57.

In ice hockey, the Belfast Giants have beaten the Hull Stingrays by

:07:58.:08:01.

three goals to nil at the Odyssey arena. The win means they extend

:08:02.:08:05.

their lead at the top of the Elite league to 21 points.

:08:06.:08:10.

That was the news, now onto the weekend weather forecast and with

:08:11.:08:11.

the details here's Cecilia Daly. Good evening, we get two fine days

:08:12.:08:22.

and then the rain returns. Once again, another warning for heavy

:08:23.:08:26.

rain which is valid for the next couple of hours to the other side of

:08:27.:08:31.

midnight. Still heavy for a while with gusty winds do the east coast.

:08:32.:08:38.

Dry during the early hours and temperatures might become a bit

:08:39.:08:40.

chilly in 12 spots on the countryside. Weekend, it would be

:08:41.:08:43.

quite unsettled, particularly tomorrow with heavy showers and

:08:44.:08:48.

gusty winds. It will start dry, but it will not be long before the

:08:49.:08:51.

showers arrive and some of them will be heavy and prolonged. Overall,

:08:52.:08:56.

we're looking at a very unsettled stay across Britain and Ireland. The

:08:57.:09:02.

area of low pressure is to the north with lots of showers coming across

:09:03.:09:04.

the Republic of Ireland and western areas of Britain and particularly

:09:05.:09:08.

heavy in Wales and southern counties of England with very gusty winds

:09:09.:09:11.

over the south-west of Britain and possibly damaging gusts. Much better

:09:12.:09:15.

weather for north-east Scotland and Eastern counties of England which

:09:16.:09:19.

could get some shelter and more in the way of sunshine. For Northern

:09:20.:09:22.

Ireland, quite cool compare to the last few days, very unpleasant

:09:23.:09:27.

compared to the sunshine we had today. Sunday, sunshine and a bit

:09:28.:09:33.

more in the way of gaps between the showers. Still some wet weather also

:09:34.:09:38.

and wintry showers over high ground. Monday starts off with icy

:09:39.:09:46.

weather and a lull in the weather for a while before the next low

:09:47.:09:50.

pressure comes in on shoes day. More wet and windy weather for next week.

:09:51.:09:53.

That is it for now, you can keep up-to-date online and follow this

:09:54.:09:55.

programme on Facebook and on Twitter.

:09:56.:09:57.

From everyone here, good night, and have a
