A French motorcycle racer is in a critical condition in hospital after | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
a high speed crash during racing at today's Ulster Grand Prix. | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
Pierre Favre was competing at the Dundrod circuit for the first time. | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
The incident happened during the lightweight race this afternoon. | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
An Air Accident report has revealed that a pilot briefly lost control | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
of a plane coming in to Belfast, when his prosthetic arm became | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
The Flybe flight landing at Belfast City Airport earlier this | :00:32. | :00:41. | |
The pilot had an artificial arm which had been specially adapted. He | :00:42. | :01:06. | |
had flown many times before but cheering light in February, | :01:07. | :01:14. | |
suddenly, something went wrong. It happened just as the aircraft was | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
about to land. Here is a Flybe flight. The pilot has to work to try | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
and keep the plane straight. In fabric, at this point, the pilot's | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
left arm became detached. The pilot did have a co-pilot that there | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
wasn't enough time to let him take over the control column which is | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
left arm had been operating, instead, the pilot concluded his | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
best course of action was to move his right hand from the power levers | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
to regain control. He did this but a normal touchdown was followed by a | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
bounce from which the aircraft landed heavily. Just like the smooth | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
landing, no damage was done, no one was hurt and all the passengers | :01:48. | :01:48. | |
arrived safely. He is not the only Pollard with one | :01:49. | :02:03. | |
arm. We had to go through really stringent testing and we're | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
scrutinised more than an able-bodied person. We have to be ten times | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
better than an able-bodied person to stick at the same job. In a | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
statement, Flybe said: according to the official report the | :02:13. | :02:29. | |
pilot realised he needed to be more careful when checking whether his | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
artificial arm is firmly attached. He also recognises his need to prove | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
his co-pilot to be ready to take the controls | :02:40. | :02:39. | |
350 new jobs are being created by the Craigavon-based | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
The investment will generate salaries of over ?9m a year. | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
Our economics and business editor John Campbell reports. | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
These machines, which are giant pharmaceutical mixers, are working | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
round-the-clock to keep up with demand. They will be exporting beef | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
products all over the world. The company is already one of our | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
biggest and successful home-grown firms. Its workforce will increase | :03:13. | :03:26. | |
by 10% over the next five years. We are looking to recruit 350 new jobs | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
over five years, those will range from operator level jobs through | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
technicians, right through to management, logistics people, IT, | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
engineering, a whole range, some graduate, some non-graduate, so | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
there are opportunities for all. The new jobs are in the Almac divisions | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
which to contract work for big pharmaceutical and biological | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
companies. That involves developing, manufacturing and packaging drugs | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
and then managing their distribution. It will mean an | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
investment of more than ?50 million. They will be a ?5.5 million grant | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
from invest Northern Ireland. The pharmaceutical industry has been a | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
star performer in recent years, growing through the recession. In | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
the last year it is growing by 10%. This huge investment shows there is | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
still room for more growth. The former Derry Gaelic football | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
captain Kevin McCloy is stable in hospital this evening - | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
after collapsing The 35-year-old was playing | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
for his club Lavey. He received treatment from ambulance | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
staff on site, before being Police say they have found blood | :04:34. | :04:52. | |
belonging to mystery woman. 15-year-old disappeared after a | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
night out. Two years ago fresh searches were carried out in the | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
terror back row derelict flat. Sectors said the blood does not | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
appear in the national DNA database. They have appealed for anyone in the | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
flat at any time to contact them. Stormont government departments | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
spent more than ?2.5 million on hospitality last year - | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
that's around ?50,000 each week. The figures were revealed | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
in answers to questions from the TUV Mr Allister reckons that Executive | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
ministers need to clamp down on what he describes as the "lavish spending | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
of taxpayers' hard earned cash". Here's Our Political Editor Mark | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
Devenport. Last year the TUV homed in on | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
Stormont's sweet tooth, revealing the money that had been spent on | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
Mints provided free of charge. These latest figures are more wide | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
ranging, covering spending incurred by individual government departments | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
and agencies covering areas like health, education and job creation. | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
The education department comes top of the league. | :05:57. | :06:31. | |
At a time when we were being told, because of austerity and budget | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
cuts, we may not have enough money to fix the street lights or the | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
potholes, it is astounding that in the last two years, departmental | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
expansion on hospitality has risen by a staggering 22%. However, | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
Stormont ministers argued that whether it is wooing potential | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
investors or dealing with local lobby groups, some generosity is | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
required. Invest Northern Ireland and the tourist board need to be | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
able to attract inward investors and tourists here, and if you look spend | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
from the tourist board, it has gone down over a number of years now. So | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
I am quite content with the way we're managing our budget. When I | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
meet a delegation of teachers, trade unionists, I offer them a cup of | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
tea. That will be classed as hospitality. Is he suggesting that I | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
advise those groups to bring a flask with them and pour out their own tea | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
and coffee? Without dismissing the important responsibilities, I do | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
encourage and look after public funds sensibly and there is a | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
responsibility on all of us to do that. Our ministers would stop | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
toasting visiting VIPs but will be more than aware they will asked to | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
explain every last drop. Students here received their A-level | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
results today. They have again scored well, | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
and are 7 percentage points ahead of pupils in England and Wales | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
in the top four grades. They have again scored well, | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
and are 7 percentage points ahead of pupils in England and Wales | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
in the top four grades. However students THERE did better | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
on the A star grade. After a nice try, bright evening, it | :08:16. | :08:26. | |
is a clear and cool night ahead. Staying mostly dry, those clearing | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
skies mean temperatures will drop away. We might see mist and fog by | :08:33. | :08:40. | |
dawn tomorrow morning, but Friday is shaping up to be quite a decent day, | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
a little on the course because we do have this north-westerly breeze, | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
that is going to hold those temperatures back as we go through | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
the day. Through the UK and Ireland, much better day. The rain we saw | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
today is hardly there at all, just a few showers. Drier, brighter and | :09:00. | :09:09. | |
warmer just about everywhere. For Northern Ireland, a pretty pleasant | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
end the week. A few showers popping up, but much fewer and further | :09:15. | :09:26. | |
between them we have seen of late. Not a bad end to the day if a little | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
on the course. Into the is cloudier, with more rain around, particularly | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
out in the West. Saturday is probably going to be the better day | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
of the weekend. The start of next week, temperatures to really start | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
to tumble. An autumnal blast might be heading | :09:47. | :09:47. |
