:00:18. > :00:36.Well, this was the base for the rally drivers and the teams, but

:00:37. > :00:42.tonight he have all packed up and driven away after a very sad

:00:43. > :00:45.evening. The rest of the Ulster Rally has been called off as a mark

:00:46. > :00:54.of respect to Timothy Cathcart. Although all the race attracts

:00:55. > :01:00.drivers from all over, Timothy Cathcart was local. It was during

:01:01. > :01:09.special stage three of this competition near five male tone that

:01:10. > :01:16.this crash happened. -- Fivemiletown. There were no other

:01:17. > :01:23.vehicles involved. His codriver was injured. He was a mac listed by the

:01:24. > :01:38.helicopter -- here lifted -- air lifted. The Ulster Rally is

:01:39. > :01:43.organised by the Northern Ireland Motor Club. They see that there will

:01:44. > :01:48.be an investigation which they will cooperate fully with. Once the

:01:49. > :01:51.police have finished looking into this then there will be another

:01:52. > :01:57.inquiry carried out by the governing body of the sport. They say that the

:01:58. > :02:01.thoughts and prayers of everyone connected with the Ulster Rally I

:02:02. > :02:09.with the family and friends of Timothy Cathcart. -- are with. The

:02:10. > :02:13.role of Co Fermanagh has been stunned by this news. -- the Hall

:02:14. > :02:15.of. The Arts Council has told

:02:16. > :02:18.the groups it funds that they should make plans for cuts of up to 5% of

:02:19. > :02:21.their budgets for this year. As our arts correspondent

:02:22. > :02:23.Maggie Taggart reports, 37 bodies were told that it's the result of

:02:24. > :02:36.?78 million worth of cuts agreed by As the Belfast Circus School has

:02:37. > :02:40.final rehearsals for it August show, the organisers are dealing

:02:41. > :02:45.with unwelcome financial developments. 37 organisations which

:02:46. > :02:51.get the largest annual funding were called to a hastily arranged meeting

:02:52. > :02:57.yesterday. They were told to prepare for cuts of up to 5% by October. We

:02:58. > :03:04.were told to go away and preparing 5% cut to submit the impact of that

:03:05. > :03:10.cut to the Arts Council. For us, that means that we have to break at

:03:11. > :03:14.savings of ?8,000 in the remainder of this financial year and it was a

:03:15. > :03:20.big shock to think that we had the security of a grant being awarded to

:03:21. > :03:27.us back in the end of March and then in August to find out that, no, that

:03:28. > :03:30.is not going to happen. Almost halfway through the financial

:03:31. > :03:34.year organisations like these ones were told to work out how they could

:03:35. > :03:39.save 2.1% of their budgets. They said that the message was not that

:03:40. > :03:44.the cuts were potential but definite. The Arts Council has tried

:03:45. > :03:49.to reassure and says that it will work to mitigate the effect on those

:03:50. > :03:52.that it supplies of funding. That did not come across yesterday, that

:03:53. > :03:58.would be lovely if that was the case, but that did not come across.

:03:59. > :04:08.Wait map or did come across? That this is how it is and that this will

:04:09. > :04:13.get worse. The initial cut for this organisation would be around ?3000.

:04:14. > :04:17.At this point of year it is a big change to our plans for the year. It

:04:18. > :04:24.also means that we will have to look closely at where our key funding

:04:25. > :04:30.will be. The cost is from artist -- for artists come from the Arts

:04:31. > :04:33.Council funding. We have to make changes quickly and we do not have

:04:34. > :04:40.time to find the funding complement it. The Tate a mac Northern Ireland

:04:41. > :04:56.seekers Association said... The Arts Council has asked for and

:04:57. > :04:57.now -- a list of possible savings to be delivered within less than a

:04:58. > :05:01.week. The police have confirmed they are

:05:02. > :05:04.conducting enquiries in to the death of a 22-year-old man at Belfast City

:05:05. > :05:07.Hospital more than a year ago. Sean-Paul Carnahan died five months

:05:08. > :05:10.after he sustained a brain injury The details emerged at a preliminary

:05:11. > :05:29.inquest hearing into his death. Sean-Paul Carnahan was admitted to

:05:30. > :05:36.Belfast City Hospital in March, 2013, after he had tried to take his

:05:37. > :05:40.own life. He had been a regular user of so-called legal highs. He was

:05:41. > :05:46.left brain damaged. Following his death, his mother spoke publicly to

:05:47. > :05:51.warn others of the dangers of taking legal highs. Do not touch that

:05:52. > :05:59.stuff. You would not want to be left the way that my son was left. He was

:06:00. > :06:12.a happy Kent. A brilliant chef. -- are happy child. Always smiling. And

:06:13. > :06:16.fortunately, like most children, he did not realise the danger he

:06:17. > :06:24.brought onto himself. She accuses the hospital was not looking after

:06:25. > :06:27.him properly. They gave up on him. My child died of starvation. I had

:06:28. > :06:31.to watch my child died, waste away in front of my eyes. When my child

:06:32. > :06:35.died he was six foot and he died in front of my eyes. When my child

:06:36. > :06:42.five stone. I am traumatised by that. I thought that when I put my

:06:43. > :06:54.child into their care that he would get better, not basically that he

:06:55. > :06:58.would be starved to death. Mrs Carnahan's solicitor did confirm

:06:59. > :07:04.that she has put in an official complaint about the care given to

:07:05. > :07:10.her son. The coroner queried whether this constituted a charge of

:07:11. > :07:16.corporate manslaughter. There has been agreement that it did. The

:07:17. > :07:23.inquest cannot continue until the PSNI's investigation into the

:07:24. > :07:27.complaint is carried out. The hospital said that it offered its

:07:28. > :07:30.complaint is carried out. The deepest condolences to the family.

:07:31. > :07:31.It also said that it would be inappropriate to make any comment

:07:32. > :07:35.whilst there is an ongoing process. The Catholic Primate Cardinal Sean

:07:36. > :07:38.Brady has confirmed that he offered his resignation to

:07:39. > :07:40.the Pope last month in anticipation During his 18-year period as

:07:41. > :07:44.Archbishop of Armagh he has had to deal with strong criticism of his

:07:45. > :07:47.and the Church's handling of cases The Coadjutor Archbishop, Monsignor

:07:48. > :07:51.Eamon Martin, will become the next Primate of All Ireland when Cardinal

:07:52. > :08:00.Brady's resignation is accepted. The number

:08:01. > :08:02.of new mortgage repossession cases coming before the courts fell to

:08:03. > :08:04.the lowest level since 2007 There were just over 1,600

:08:05. > :08:11.cases between January and June. That compares to almost 2,000 cases

:08:12. > :08:18.in the same period last year. Belfast City Council has confirmed

:08:19. > :08:20.that an event hosted by George Galloway will take place

:08:21. > :08:23.at the Ulster Hall as scheduled. The council, which owns the

:08:24. > :08:27.Ulster Hall, had taken legal advice after the DUP called for next week's

:08:28. > :08:30.event to be cancelled because of anti-Israeli remarks made

:08:31. > :08:39.recently by Mr Galloway. Now let's have a look

:08:40. > :08:58.at the weather forecast. It has been a reardrive day-to-day.

:08:59. > :09:08.Things Damian McBride, just the odd shower overnight. Temperatures stay

:09:09. > :09:16.in double figures -- things have been Parma. Quite cloudy start of

:09:17. > :09:23.the day on Saturday, the Shermer is starting to work their way in on the

:09:24. > :09:34.westerly breeze. In north -South split. A very different day across

:09:35. > :09:37.England and Wales. For us, we will see those Shermer is coming from the

:09:38. > :09:43.west as they go through the afternoon on Saturday. It should not

:09:44. > :09:47.be enough to disrupt the racing, but it is not what we would expect for

:09:48. > :09:53.the middle of August, with those temperatures topping out at around

:09:54. > :09:59.17 degrees. We will notice these wind gauges starting to pick up, the

:10:00. > :10:04.north-westerly breeze coming in, holding down the temperatures, the

:10:05. > :10:10.showers become much heavier. The temperatures struggling above 14

:10:11. > :10:13.degrees. A disappointing end to the weekend, next week looks like it

:10:14. > :10:15.will be autumnal.
