The political parties here have begun talks aimed | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
at resolving their differences over parades, flags and the past. | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
The talks took place at Stormont and, | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
as our correspondent Shane Harrison reports, they will resume tomorrow. | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
Over the Christmas and New Year period, the American diplomat Dr | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
Richard Haass could not resolve this issue is of parades, flags in the | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
past. But today saw the start of six scheduled days of talks aimed at | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
resolving them. With so many party leaders absent, there was little | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
expectation of a breakthrough. Parading was very much on the minds | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
of the unionist parties and the DUP had this morning. To date, both | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
nationalism and republicanism has shown a complete lack of tolerance | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
and lack of respect. Were that to continue, the prospects of success | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
are very limited. Sinn Fein says there is and can be no decoupling of | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
parades from the issues flags and past. And any agreement in all three | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
might require new laws. There might be legislation needed. That would | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
take at least a year to deal with. It would be -- to be very clear, we | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
are not dealing with specific parades are protests in these | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
discussions and I want to make that absolutely crystal clear. Despite | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
those comments, politicians are all too aware that the talks will resume | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
tomorrow morning very much under the shadow of the expected Parades | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
Commission billing on the return parade passed the Ardoyne shops. -- | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
Parades Commission billing. In London, there was further | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
political disagreement on the The leaders of the Executive | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
met David Cameron in London. Speaking afterwards, Peter Robinson | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
said the Prime Minister had made it clear there was no more room for | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
manoeuvre on implementing the cuts. I think it is impossible for any | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
intelligent person not to know what the consequences of the action is. I | :02:12. | :02:19. | |
find it an outrage that people would allow the Northern Ireland community | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
to suffer as a result of the failure to have the courage to take a | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
decision that they know is necessary. We're not in conflict | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
with Peter Robinson the DUP on the issue of this. We are in conflict | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
with the British Government and we said that to David Cameron during | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
the course of the week. I reminded him that I have been involved in | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
putting together two programmes of Government with Ian Paisley and | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
Peter Robinson in 2011 were none of this was discussed. -- were none. | :02:50. | :02:58. | |
Part of the Ormeau Road in Belfast was closed in both directions this | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
evening after an unstable derelict building had to be demolished. | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
The building was at the junction of the Ormeau Road and | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
University Street Avenue in the south of the city. | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
Work had already been going on at the site. | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
Traffic was diverted to allow builders to knock down the front | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
Council staff monitored the operation. | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
Several hundred loyalists have protested outside a police station | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
They held the demonstration as four bandsmen were questioned | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
by police about alleged breaches of Parades Commission rulings. | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
The bandsmen attended the station voluntarily and were not arrested. | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
A teenager who has anorexia has criticised treatment | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
at our only Child and Adolescent Mental Health Unit. | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
Aoife Boyle was admitted to Beechcroft in South Belfast in May | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
but her parents were so alarmed at her treatment they discharged her | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
I spoke to the Boyle family and to management at the unit. | :03:45. | :03:58. | |
A teenage girl in crisis. Aoife Boyle had had eaten nothing in ten | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
weeks when she was admitted to Beachcroft underweight and seriously | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
ill. I hated every minute of it. It was like being in prison and not | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
allowed to go anywhere. I could not stand as that was considered | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
exercise. I could not walk anywhere by myself in case I harmed myself. I | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
was told, if you do by myself in case I harmed myself. I | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
you know what will happen, in a threatening way. The Boyle family | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
feel they were excluded threatening way. The Boyle family | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
being watched 24/7. There threatening way. The Boyle family | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
She did not sleep well threatening way. The Boyle family | :04:42. | :04:42. | |
them. Looking at 24 hours a day. threatening way. The Boyle family | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
the bottom of her bed effectively looking at her. This | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
could be e-mail support staff or support staff. Beachcroft opened | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
four years ago to meet the growing demand for mental health services | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
for young people. Other families have complained about the style of | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
treatment for eating disorders. The Karen -- they say they cannot | :05:14. | :05:24. | |
Young boys would prefer to have a female and in terms | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
of who is helping them, some people strike a particular | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
relationship with staff and they feel more comfortable, but all | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
of the staff are trained to deliver that in a safe and dignified way. | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
In the end, the family discharged Aoife from hospital | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
They're paying for private help, something that Aoife also believes | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
This is all you think about constantly. | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
Even if there is something coming up, like going out with | :05:45. | :05:58. | |
Elderly people going without food and not being kept hydrated - | :05:59. | :06:12. | |
those were allegations made to BBC Newsline by a whistleblower | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
Today, they led to official criticism of the watchdog body | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
that's meant to carry out inspections across Northern Ireland. | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
Now the independent watchdog body , the RQIA, has been told it should | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
Our health correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly reports. | :06:30. | :06:40. | |
It was here at Cherry Tree Nursing Home that | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
a former care worker alleged basics like feeding and toileting were | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
But she said it wasn't just staff who ignored the basics. | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
In fact, the regulators ignored her complaints, | :06:50. | :06:50. | |
leaving her with no option but to become a whistleblower. | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
Nine years on and a review confirms that the | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
This latest review focussed on how the RQIA responded to | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
In its report, the review team said the regulator | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
should have taken a more rigorous approach to enforcing care | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
And that, despite repeated and multiple failings at the home, | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
enforcement action was taken on just three occasions in eight years. | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
The team said the RQIA's inspection reports gave little assurance that | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
what was wrong at Cherry Tree had been properly addressed. | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
In their recommendations, the report?s authors said the RQIA | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
should review its enforcement policy for nursing homes like Cherry Tree. | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
That it could consider the recruitment of assessors with | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
care home backgrounds to take part in inspections. | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
And that there should be greater support and protection | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
The BBC's investigations on nursing homes has triggered the question - | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
is the regulator tough enough on those who breach regulations? | :07:49. | :08:00. | |
You can drive a relationship rebuilding the big steak or through | :08:01. | :08:12. | |
-- the big steak or through mutual engagement. We believe in both. | :08:13. | :08:21. | |
Last year, Elizabeth Calvert told the BBC how she found her | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
She said families shouldn't have had to wait this long for answers. | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
It has been going on for nine years and I look forward to | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
They need to improve because all people deserve a kinder | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
The owners of Cherry Tree said that while the | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
report's recommendations do not deal with Cherry Tree House specifically, | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
the report provides useful insight into our own shortcomings. | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
Angie has the weather for tomorrow and looking towards the weekend. | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
We have just had seven months in a row when the average temperatures | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
were above average. Despite the cloud and rain today, temperatures | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
have been decent as well at 20 Celsius in parts of the south-east. | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
We have also had rain around and that will ease away during the first | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
part of the night. It will be drier. Sitting around 10 Celsius. Tomorrow, | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
with the rain out of the way, we have dry weather. Some clouds, but | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
it will be bright spells around particularly in the morning in parts | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
of the south and east. Very similar in the Republic of Ireland. Best of | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
the brightness in the south and east. Scotland enjoying dry weather | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
to begin with, also much of England. The best sunshine is for the south | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
and East, quite warm, with temperatures of around 26 Celsius. | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
In between these two, we have the remnants of our weather front | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
sitting across Wales and the North of England. That will ease with | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
time. Cast your eyes to the West of Scotland and Ireland. We have yet | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
more rain nudging its way in. That will nudge into Northern Ireland as | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
well into the afternoon and again particularly in northern and western | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
medias. It is mainly late and patchy. Temperatures not too bad, | :10:00. | :10:07. | |
18-19 degrees. Things are settled on Friday. Weather front moving in from | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
the Atlantic and that will bring wet weather, heavy burst sovereign and | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
risk winds. At the weekend, the brighter, heavy showers. | :10:16. | :10:16. | |
