Editor John Campbell reports. It is a substantial business and

does work for the NHS. It is a way for the health service to keep

:02:36.:02:39.

waiting lists under control by contracting out work. By the start

of July the pause button was pressed because of budgetary initiatives.

:02:46.:02:52.

There is still a lot of work which has been done for the NHS. It is

said because of this move it cannot keep the same number of staff and is

expected to lose 50 jobs from a total workforce of 240.

:03:05.:03:20.

A coroner has criticised a local hospital for mistakes which led to

:03:21.:03:23.

Tracy Hook's baby, Alexis, was born by emergency Caesarean section at

:03:24.:03:27.

Within minutes she developed breathing problems and died.

:03:28.:03:30.

Coroner John Leckey listed five failings by midwives

:03:31.:03:32.

and medical staff, and said if the baby had been delivered sooner

:03:33.:03:35.

The Causeway Trust said it accepted that it failed to care for Mrs Hook

A security alert in Londonderry has ended and been declared a hoax.

:03:46.:03:48.

It began when masked men placed an object in the back

:03:49.:03:51.

of a lorry and told the driver to go to Strand Road Police station.

:03:52.:03:54.

Police have condemned those responsible and said,

:03:55.:03:56.

it was a frightening experience for a man going about his work.

:03:57.:03:59.

The alert began after a lorry was hijacked. An object was loaded onto

:04:00.:04:19.

a beagle and the driver was ordered to take it to Strand Road police

:04:32.:04:36.

extremely frightened and terrified as any individual would be and I

condemn those who put him in that position. The driver of the vehicle

:04:41.:04:49.

parked the van at a school not far from here. Staff were asked by

has caused huge disruption. People were also used -- moved from

business units in a nearby industrial estate. Communication was

:05:13.:05:21.

very poor as to what was going on. It was so close to us we were very

:05:22.:05:27.

concerned. Customers could not make it in, it caused disruption. Police

:05:28.:05:34.

and local people have condemned those behind the hijacking.

:05:35.:05:43.

There's been a significant increase in the number of people contacting

:05:44.:05:46.

Northern Ireland's main helpline for people at risk of suicide.

:05:47.:05:48.

Calls to the Lifeline crisis response service

:05:49.:05:50.

have increased by almost a third in the last three years.

:05:51.:05:53.

They've gone up to 1,500 calls per week.

:05:54.:05:55.

It's a big challenge for a charity which isn't getting any more money.

:05:56.:06:01.

We are upping the amount of stuff on the service and through the night

:06:02.:06:07.

they are moving from three councillors to four councillors and

statement that there were clear signs that the market is

:07:29.:07:34.

We do not want a boom and bust situation like me hard. A gradual

rise brings stability, confidence and ultimately that is what the

:07:47.:07:53.

last time prices fell was 2012 and recent figures represent the

strongest growth for years. The improvement is most pronounced in

Belfast and its surrounding areas. Tomorrow morning we hear why a legal

loophole means the prosecution cannot apply for stronger services

:08:23.:08:25.

It was a really cold night last night but it should not be so bad

:08:26.:08:41.

tonight. Cloud filling in bringing some showery conditions.

:08:42.:08:49.

Temperatures will be eight or 9 degrees overnight. A cold and cloudy

:08:50.:08:54.

day tomorrow with plenty showers around. It is all down to this

start throughout the morning and that is reflected across Scotland

:09:09.:09:11.

and northern England as we go through the day. The wind will pick

:09:12.:09:17.

up behind quipping around the wall pressure. Much warmer, drier and

:09:18.:09:23.

brighter across the south-east in particular. Things do pick up as we

:09:24.:09:28.

go through the afternoon. Showers sinking south and a few more bright

:09:29.:09:32.

spells. Temperatures struggling to feel much above 15 Celsius. On

:09:33.:09:42.

Friday, another day of sunshine and showers but rather more sunshine I

:09:43.:09:49.

would think. Again not having a huge impact on temperatures, high is

:09:50.:09:54.

around 14 degrees. Fewer showers by the weekend but not very warm for

:09:55.:10:02.

the time of year. That is all from us for now. Good night.
