That is all from us. Don't forget there's a first look | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
Hello and welcome to BBC Newsline. The BBC has learned that the Belfast | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
Health Trust is investigating the circumstances surrounding the death | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
of an elderly patient in the emergency department of the Royal | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Victoria Hospital. The woman was brought to the Royal's emergency | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
department last month and lay on a trolley for four hours before being | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
seen by a consultant. While the woman was elderly and extremely ill, | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
there's concern that the delay may have been a factor in her death | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
which occurred around seven hours after she'd arrived in the | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
department. The health trust is currently examining five other cases | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
where a delay in treatment could have been a contributing factor in | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
the death. Meanwhile in another development | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
today and just weeks after telling BBC Newsline he wouldn't resign, the | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
Chief Executive of the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, Colm | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
Donaghy, announced he was quitting and moving to a new post in England. | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
Our Health Correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly reports. While | :00:56. | :01:04. | |
it is there to shoot -- treat critically ill patients, the | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
department itself has been in a critical position. The college of | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
emergency medical report described the department as being | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
non-sustainable. News that waiting times had | :01:20. | :01:31. | |
contributed to the deaths of five patients last year followed. I | :01:32. | :01:41. | |
cannot continue to deliver added benefit of the publishing of Belfast | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
and to the patients would depend on us for K -- care. Spending around ?3 | :01:45. | :01:56. | |
million daily with a staff of over 20,000, the Belfast trust is the | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
second-largest the UK. For this chair, it is a thankless task. He | :02:02. | :02:10. | |
did an excellent job in the Northern trust was at this is the most | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
difficult job in Northern Ireland. I do not think anybody else could have | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
done better. We would struggle to get someone to take it on. That is | :02:18. | :02:26. | |
clearly issues about bed shortages and the need to staff up. The BBC | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
understands there may be further changes in June when the permanent | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
secretary is involved in A.D. Shuffle. The Spotlight is fixed on | :02:40. | :02:51. | |
one man. I think the Minister needs to take positive decisions to | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
safeguard and secure the delivery of services for patients within all of | :02:56. | :03:04. | |
Northern Ireland. Colm Donaghy 's future remains in her. He takes a | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
proposed in England in the summer. The key witness in the trial of two | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
men accused of beating an Armagh man to death, has told a court it was | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
the victim who started the fight. But the witness, who is the former | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
girlfriend of one of the defendants, said what happened had become "more | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
than a fight". Gordon Adair reports from Armagh Crown Court. Lindsay was | :03:24. | :03:35. | |
walking along this path with two men when she spotted Lee Smith coming | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
across this bridge. She says she saw him and Nigel Wilson square up to | :03:39. | :03:47. | |
each other. She says Lee Smith went for Michael Wilson and a fight | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
began. She urged another man to break it up but then he joined in. | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
The two men then overpowered Mr Smith. Michael Wilson then capped an | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
punching and kicking the man who the prosecution say was defenceless on | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
the ground. She said he was covered in such -- and so much blood he was | :04:16. | :04:30. | |
and recognisable. The former girlfriend gave evidence about how | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
he had become involved in and I command at a party the evening | :04:36. | :04:46. | |
before. Somebody had thrown a garden ornament at the wall of the house. | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
He went out, angry. He was intent on finding who had done it. | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
Lady Justice Hallett has been appointed to conduct an independent | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
review of the On the Runs scheme following the collapse of the John | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
Downey Trial, one of the men accused of the IRA Hyde Park bombing. Lady | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
Hallett, who will report to the Secretary of State Theresa Villiers, | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
has a legal career spanning four decades. | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
The former US Diplomat Richard Haass says the controversy over the on the | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
run letters doesn't justify any party walking away from | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
negotiatioins. Dr Haass chaired months of talks trying to deal with | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
problems associated with flags, parades and the past. Speaking to a | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
congressional committee in Washington this afternoon he | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
expressed his concerns about the potential for increased division in | :05:34. | :05:46. | |
the community here. What worries me in that kind of environment where | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
politics does not appear to be making progress alienation continues | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
to fester and violence could re-emerge. It is premature to put | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
Northern Ireland, as much as we would like to, in the outbox of | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
problems solved. I would love forehead to be there. I look forward | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
to that Dave was a bit is not there yet. | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
Two wallabies are still on the loose in County Down. The mother and her | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
joey escaped from privately-owned land in Clough near Newcastle on | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
Friday. Our reporter Mark Simpson spent the day on their trail. This | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
is what they are looking for. Wallabies. To escape here on Friday | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
evening. In Newcastle, it is the talk of the town. People have been | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
out searching for the Walkabout Wallabies. Several times we got up | :06:40. | :06:49. | |
and had a look about them being missing. We looked around where we | :06:50. | :07:00. | |
are that there were no sightings. People are keeping an eye open for | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
that we are hopeful that they will turn up. The little Joey is only | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
four weeks old. Anybody who spots the mother and baby is advised not | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
to approach them but to contact the police. They are unlikely of | :07:14. | :07:22. | |
attacking a person. It would be protective towards its young. The | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
future will be spooked by people, dog walkers or whoever. How many do | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
you think we have in Northern Ireland? We have a field that are | :07:34. | :07:44. | |
good at getting out. We have had a few. There are a number and they | :07:45. | :07:54. | |
seem adept at getting out. The problem for the search teams is that | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
that are so many different places to look. Miles upon miles of | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
countryside. If that was not bad enough, you also have the mourns. | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
The Walkabout Wallabies may be a long way from home. | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
Now with the weather here's Barra Best. | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
We have had another cracking spring day with plenty of sunshine. It is | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
much more to come tomorrow. We are in for a chilly night. Temperatures | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
will fall to freezing in many places. There will be a widespread | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
frost and there will be dense pockets of fog as well. A chilly | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
start tomorrow but it will brighten up as we go through the morning. | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
Tomorrow morning, the frost will slowly lift. Some of the fog will be | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
slow to clear as well. Visibility problems on some roads. Otherwise, | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
the high pressure remains in control across Britain and Ireland tomorrow. | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
The best of the early morning sunshine across Scotland and down | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
through northern England and into Wales. As we go through the day, | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
there will be some good spells of sunshine to enjoy. Towards the North | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
and West, integers of about 11 Celsius. -- temperatures. Out and | :09:13. | :09:23. | |
about tomorrow, you will need the umbrella -- you will not need the | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
umbrella. Feeling quite pleasant. Tomorrow evening, cloudier but is | :09:28. | :09:41. | |
largely dry day on Thursday. Both places staying dry. It will be a | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
similar picture as we head into the weekend. | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
