:00:08. > :00:12.The evening. A US investment firm is in the process of completing the
:00:13. > :00:16.biggest ever Northern Ireland property deal.
:00:17. > :00:19.It will take control of office blocks, hotels, building sites, pubs
:00:20. > :00:22.and shopping centres which had been in the Irish government's bad debt
:00:23. > :00:25.bank NAMA. The assets were once valued at ?4.5 billion, but the sale
:00:26. > :00:33.is for much less. Here's our business correspondent, Julian
:00:34. > :00:38.O'Neill. This deal is huge, one which alters
:00:39. > :00:46.the landscape in terms of commercial property. Out goes a major player,
:00:47. > :00:54.the so called bad bank in June, which managed the portfolio of loans
:00:55. > :00:58.or assets hit by the. What is being sold are not just buildings that
:00:59. > :01:03.parcels of undeveloped land, over 1000 property assets now under the
:01:04. > :01:09.control of new owners, a New York investment firm. NAMA had been
:01:10. > :01:16.funding the completion of this Belfast office block but a lot of
:01:17. > :01:21.lesser project is on its books are sitting idle. Experts predict this
:01:22. > :01:27.New York firm will change that. To a large extent, NAMA found that its
:01:28. > :01:35.hands were tied. A lot of projects have been on hold for many years, so
:01:36. > :01:42.hopefully now they can come out of storage and those projects can be
:01:43. > :01:45.bought through to completion. The price has not been disclosed but it
:01:46. > :01:52.is expected to be close to ?1.3 billion. NAMA said this represents a
:01:53. > :02:02.significant achievement and the sale was the best possible result for the
:02:03. > :02:04.Irish taxi -- tax player. The fact an American company sees an
:02:05. > :02:10.investment opportunity here is visiting a fantastic sign as well.
:02:11. > :02:14.If we can get some more of these projects of the ground, then we will
:02:15. > :02:21.see jobs for people on these projects. The deal comes with the
:02:22. > :02:24.blessing of the first Minister who recently criticised NAMA for not
:02:25. > :02:28.doing enough to help the local economy. Now the onus is on a new
:02:29. > :02:31.player. A 31-year-old man has been arrested
:02:32. > :02:35.under the terrorism act in relation to trouble in Larne last Sunday
:02:36. > :02:38.night. A number of people and homes were attacked in disturbances which
:02:39. > :02:41.the police have blamed on the south-east Antrim UDA. The man was
:02:42. > :02:45.arrested in Carrickfergus this afternoon.
:02:46. > :02:47.The Secretary of State says it's unrealistic to suggest the
:02:48. > :02:51.government could take back powers from Stormont to legislate for
:02:52. > :02:54.welfare changes. Last night, the First Minister, Peter Robinson, told
:02:55. > :02:58.the BBC that might have to be one of the options explored if the logjam
:02:59. > :03:08.with Sinn Fein over welfare reform continues. Here's our political
:03:09. > :03:12.correspondent, Gareth Gordon. Bridge building not bridge burning
:03:13. > :03:15.was on Peter Robinson's mind as he helped open a new one in East
:03:16. > :03:24.Belfast today, accompanied by the Sinn Fein Lord Lane. But less of a
:03:25. > :03:29.welcome from his government partners for a claim that the D P once
:03:30. > :03:34.believed it had had an agreement with the Deputy first Minister over
:03:35. > :03:41.the fixed subject of welfare reaffirmed -- welfare reform. It is
:03:42. > :03:47.your belief that he took that agreement to the wider party and
:03:48. > :03:52.they said no? It is not my belief, it is my knowledge. I know that was
:03:53. > :03:59.the case. Martin McGuinness does not agree. He quite clearly crossed the
:04:00. > :04:02.line he should not have crossed. For a start, in terms of his
:04:03. > :04:08.interpretation of the discussions that took place between his party
:04:09. > :04:16.and my party on welfare cup is, what he said for no reality in relation
:04:17. > :04:21.to the outcome. I have said I would go to my party to seek the sanction
:04:22. > :04:28.and support of my party. That was for the outcome of the discussions
:04:29. > :04:35.that we have had with PDU P. I made it very clear in the interval -- the
:04:36. > :04:38.interview that no deal is done until we have the support of both
:04:39. > :04:44.parties. I outlined that position and I stand by it. But Mr
:04:45. > :04:50.Robinson's claim that without agreement, power could be held back
:04:51. > :04:55.-- handed back to Westminster appears to be a nonstarter. The
:04:56. > :05:04.powers are clearly in the devolution settlement. It is not practical to
:05:05. > :05:07.bring them back to Westminster. So Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness
:05:08. > :05:11.need to make up and this dispute over welfare reform must be
:05:12. > :05:20.resolved, though it is unlikely to happen ahead of the right -- the
:05:21. > :05:23.elections in May. 50 staff at Fivemiletown Creamery
:05:24. > :05:26.are to begin talks over redundancy. It follows the decision to sell the
:05:27. > :05:29.business to Ireland's largest dairy processor, Glanbia. They have agreed
:05:30. > :05:34.to buy the milk supply and the Fivemiletown brand, effectively
:05:35. > :05:37.ending processing in the town. People, some of them pensioners, had
:05:38. > :05:40.to flee their homes early this morning in Londonderry when
:05:41. > :05:44.arsonists set fire to an oil tank. The blaze took hold outside a block
:05:45. > :05:49.of flats in the Carnhill estate. The Fire and Rescue Service say it's
:05:50. > :05:52.lucky no one was hurt. With the rise in the number of
:05:53. > :05:58.tablets and mobile phones among children and young people comes a
:05:59. > :06:02.rise in cyber-bullying. And that's been shown in a new survey carried
:06:03. > :06:04.out among teachers at dozens of schools across Ireland. As Kevin
:06:05. > :06:08.Sharkey reports, many schools are already taking action to create a
:06:09. > :06:13.greater awareness of the problem. Hands up if you have a tablet of any
:06:14. > :06:23.description. Hands up if you have a mobile phone. Mobile communication
:06:24. > :06:25.to allergy becoming increasingly popular amongst schoolchildren and
:06:26. > :06:32.leading to an increase in cyber bullying. According to this new
:06:33. > :06:34.report, one third of primary school principals see cyber bullying is a
:06:35. > :06:41.growing problem in their own schools. 92% of school leaders want
:06:42. > :06:47.advice on tackling online bullying. When it happens, it has. This was
:06:48. > :07:00.sent to a 13-year-old in another part of Northern Ireland:
:07:01. > :07:06.cyber bullying is not a problem at this class and the school wants it
:07:07. > :07:16.to stay that way. It is beginning to emerge. It is not a crisis by any
:07:17. > :07:20.manner of means but we are finding example of children with technology
:07:21. > :07:26.beginning to misuse it. It is not just a problem in primary schools
:07:27. > :07:30.either. In this report, three quarters of secondary school pupils
:07:31. > :07:34.agreed cyber bullying was a problem in their school as well. This school
:07:35. > :07:41.does not have a cyber bullying problem, but does have an awareness
:07:42. > :07:46.and campaign about it. I know it is a growing issue. I think it is more
:07:47. > :07:52.of a problem than physical bullying in school. There are restrictions on
:07:53. > :07:57.when and how pupils can use their phones in school and cyber bullying
:07:58. > :08:03.only becomes a problem when they break the rules inside or outside
:08:04. > :08:07.school. And Belfast boxer, Carl Frampton,
:08:08. > :08:09.has earned a chance at a world title bout. He defeated the two-time
:08:10. > :08:13.former champion Hugo Cazares from Mexico at the Odyssey arena in a
:08:14. > :08:17.second round knock-out. He should now go on to fight the WBC champion,
:08:18. > :08:20.Leo Santa Cruz, later this year. Football, and in tonight's League of
:08:21. > :08:23.Ireland game Derry City beat Sligo Rovers 1-0 at the Brandywell. It's
:08:24. > :08:32.their first win of the season. Now the weather with Angie Phillips.
:08:33. > :08:36.We are heading into the weekend with mixed fortunes. There is rain in the
:08:37. > :08:39.forecast and the priest will be picking as well. Other positive
:08:40. > :08:48.note, dry spot between those bands of rain and the priestly -- the
:08:49. > :08:54.breeze lifts the gloom. Patchy fog and patchy rain overnight, turning
:08:55. > :08:58.more persistent, but mild the close of six degrees. Into tomorrow,
:08:59. > :09:03.things will improve after dismal start. First thing, wet with heavy
:09:04. > :09:08.and persistent spas offering clearing from the East Coast
:09:09. > :09:13.mid-morning. That rain and edges into western and central parts of
:09:14. > :09:15.Scotland, northern England and Scotland. Another pageant of the
:09:16. > :09:19.Republic of Ireland later on as well. The breeze is picking up a
:09:20. > :09:25.little bit in the south-west to, helping to clear the list and see
:09:26. > :09:29.fog, including -- improving the air quality across the West of England.
:09:30. > :09:34.Coming back to Northern Ireland for the afternoon, with the rain out of
:09:35. > :09:39.the way, it looks that bit drier. Still a good bit of cloud around,
:09:40. > :09:45.with temperatures reaching 13 or 14 degrees. Through tomorrow night, we
:09:46. > :09:49.have another batch of rain moving its way in, giving us a damp start
:09:50. > :09:53.on Sunday again. A breezy day as well. That rain will move along and
:09:54. > :09:59.that afternoon looks brighter and drier. Much fresher because of the
:10:00. > :10:00.breeze. That's it for now. You can keep up
