The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency says it's trying to | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
iron out problems local motorists have had taxing their cars. | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
Some people have had difficulties in getting documentation | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
since many functions were transferred | :00:17. | :00:17. | |
And it's a particular problem for drivers changing number plates. | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
Big Mac the Driver and Vehicle Agency used to have responsibility | :00:23. | :00:45. | |
for taxing cars. Last month, the system was transferred to Wales. | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
Some people have had problems. This man tried to taxes than at the post | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
office but was told he needed to contact the DVLA in Swansea. It is | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
annoying. You go to the post office to get insurance and MOT. It should | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
be a form and it is taxed and off you go, but then it is less simple. | :01:11. | :01:18. | |
Northern Ireland has quite a lot of personalised numbers and with | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
Coleraine closing down that is where the problem has been. Everything has | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
gone to Swansea. It is taking longer. The major hold-up is when we | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
send the paperwork away it is not just going off the road. The DVLA | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
said they had technical difficulties for a small number of vehicles that | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
had migrated from Northern Ireland... | :01:45. | :01:54. | |
I am extremely frustrated at this. I am furious at the DVLA in Swansea. | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
They knew these problems were likely to occur. These are issues we | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
flagged up prior to the transfer and it is largely why we fought so hard | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
against the transfer of this service to Swansea. These problems will be | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
worked through the system but in the meantime, many people have been left | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
with the frustration of not knowing whether their vehicle is | :02:18. | :02:18. | |
Belfast City Council is taking legal advice over an event | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
hosted by the Bradford MP George Galloway. | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
The DUP have called for next week's event to be cancelled, | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
because of anti-Israeli remarks made recently by Mr Galloway. | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
He is known for being outspoken and controversial. But the DUP said | :02:33. | :02:48. | |
George Galloway went too far in a recent speech about the Middle East. | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
We have declared Bradford and Israel free zone. We don't want any Israeli | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
goods. We don't want any Israeli services. We don't want any Israeli | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
academics coming to the University or the college. We don't even want | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
any Israeli tourists. Next week he is due to speak in Belfast at the | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
Ulster Hall. The DUP say Mr Galloway's views are so extreme he | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
could damage Kameni tea relations here. BBC Radio small in, he had | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
back. To be lectured on good relations by the DUP is like being | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
told to sit up straight by the hunchback of Notre Dame. He might be | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
keen to try and deflect attention onto other issues or, with | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
meaningless abuse -- come out with meaningless abuse, but this is a | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
real issue and we do not want those views expressed in a Belfast city | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
council facility. The Ulster Hall is run by Belfast city council. They | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
say they are aware of the Unionist complaints and are taking legal | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
advice. The event is billed not as a political rally but more of a | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
laid-back discussion. It is entitled, Saturday Night With George | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
Galloway, and it is supposed to take place on Saturday week. | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
The Commissioner for Older People says criminal charges should be | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
brought against care homes where staff | :04:20. | :04:20. | |
That's according to the Commissioner for Older People, Claire Keatinge. | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
Her comments follow highly critical reports | :04:25. | :04:25. | |
into several homes that have been highlighted by the BBC including | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
Cherry Tree House in County Antrim. | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
I was disgusted at the level of abuse people living in that facility | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
had been provided with. For over eight years, a damning catalogue of | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
perk are persisted in spite of all of the system of protection. -- at | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
care. Older people had to put up with levels of abuse we should be | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
The number of people claiming unemployment benefit | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
in Northern Ireland fell for the 19th month in a row. | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
Official figures show 52,700 people claiming the benefit, | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
As many as six fire engines attended a blaze close to the Shankill Road | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
Eight derelict houses went on fire in Glenwood Street, | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
sending smoke billowing through the area. | :05:11. | :05:11. | |
The police say at this stage they do not believe | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
Ireland's women rugby players have lost their world cup semi-final | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
against England in Paris despite a good start as Thomas Kane reports. | :05:21. | :05:34. | |
The Irish team have exceeded all expectations in this competition and | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
in front of the men's coach, who was in the crowd for the game, they | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
could hardly have asked for a better start. After consulting the video | :05:46. | :05:57. | |
referee, Philip Doyle's side were awarded a try. A well struck | :05:58. | :06:07. | |
conversion put them seven ahead. The English hit back soon after. | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
Pressure led to Michelle Clarke going over. Within three minutes the | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
World Cup favourites crossed the line again, merchant showing power | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
and pace. -- Merchant. Ireland must pick themselves up for a third-place | :06:26. | :06:26. | |
play-off. To football, and there was | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
a full programme of fixtures in the Irish Premiership this evening | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
with Belfast rivals Glentoran With seconds of the first half | :06:32. | :06:47. | |
remaining, David Scullion received a precise free kick. Glentoran doubled | :06:48. | :06:56. | |
their tally for the night with a spectacular strike from outside the | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
box. The blues battled back. Darren Burns headed in Lindfield's first | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
goal of the season. Then the visitors equalised, Peter Thompson | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
controlling the ball. In stoppage time, Darren Burns scored a dramatic | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
controlling the ball. In stoppage winner. Elsewhere, league champions | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
Cliftonville defeated Portadown at Shamrock Park. Joe Gormley scored | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
the only goal of the game. In Dungannon, McCaffrey put the home | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
side in front on the half-hour mark. McMenamin equalised for | :07:34. | :07:41. | |
Ballinamallard United. Crusaders drew 2-2 with Ballymena, | :07:42. | :07:49. | |
Institute beat Coleraine 2-0 and Warrenpoint lost by 2-02 Glenafton. | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
-- 2-0, two Glenafton. Rain overnight but it should be out | :07:56. | :08:05. | |
of the way by dawn tomorrow. We have this band seeking slowly south | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
during the small hours. Temperatures dipping to ten or 11 degrees | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
overnight. Tomorrow we still have showers in the mix. It has become a | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
refrain over the last few days. This is the picture you're waking up to. | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
Showers to start and then a reasonably bright morning. We have | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
got this from seeking ash max ending slowly south across Ireland and | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
bringing rain into Wales and the southern parts of England. What we | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
get behind that is fresh conditions. The rain works its way in along the | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
south coast. For us a bit of a cooler day as the wind whips around | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
the low pressure. It means the breezes coming out of the North. | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
Holding temperatures down just a little but as we go through the day | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
on Thursday. A few showers around but highs of 16 or 17 degrees. It is | :08:55. | :09:06. | |
a bit of a brighter picture by the time we get to Friday. Still the odd | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
shower but fewer and further between and we will have a few more bright | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
and sunny breaks. Not much of an impact on the temperatures because | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
of the northerly breeze. Highs of 16 or 17 on Friday. A drier end to the | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
week with a few showers popping up by the time we get to the weekend. | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
