in a moment, but now on BBC1, it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Do not forget, Newsnight is starting on BBC Two. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Tests for the Ebola virus are being carried out on the body of man | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
The Health Service Executive in the Republic says the man had | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
Our reporter Mervyn Jess is at Letterkenny Hospital | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
As you say, the man died earlier today and his body was brought here | :00:23. | :00:38. | |
to Letterkenny Hospital and we were told and health officials were told | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
he had been displaying symptoms which were like Ebola. That raised | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
concerns and the hospital but its procedures into place. The body | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
itself was immediately quarantined and in the mortuary behind me here. | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
Other procedures are put in place because of the suspected likelihood | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
or not that this would turn out to be the virus. That is the situation | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
at the moment. One of the local councillors, the merit of | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
Letterkenny said that Apple was here earlier. I spoke to about the fear | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
of some people about the prospect of Ebola getting into this part of | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
Ireland. -- Ebola. I'm told the man was in his early 40s and from | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
Donegal. He returned recently from Sierra Leone. He has been affected | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
by the Ebola virus. He was in the African state of Sierra Leone, an | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
area where this outbreak -- the outbreak has been most prevalent. | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
Everybody who contacted us not actually die from it. 60% of people | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
do have died from it, but if caught early enough, it be treated. Tests | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
have been taken on this manner and those have been sent away to be | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
analysed and we are expecting results on that later tomorrow. | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
The family of the broadcaster Gerry Anderson have said they are touched | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
"overwhelmed" with the love expressed for Gerry, even in the few | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
"The great outpouring of grief today showed us how much he touched | :02:09. | :02:17. | |
the hearts and lives of all who knew him. | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
We are immensely proud of the courage and dignity with | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
which Gerry dealt with his illness over the past two years." | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
Maggie Taggart looks back on his life. | :02:28. | :02:36. | |
S we at the Scottish Halliburton into the Elvis were July to hearing? | :02:37. | :02:47. | |
Gerry Anderson meant humour, music and the right look at life. Born in | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
1944, Geri soon showed a talent for music and performing. For his daily | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
show, on BBC Radio Ulster, Gerry Anderson won acclaim and audience | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
affection. He was also a guitarist and an early break came on the | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
Manchester music scene where he worked the clubs. Tours of the UK | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
and abroad followed with his band the chessmen. He also join a bungled | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks. Back home, he settled long enough to | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
study for a degree in sociology and social anthropology. They get a | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
postgraduate diploma in education. He try teaching, but is it became | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
clear his place was in a radio studio or on camera. He was a man of | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
great wit and mischief. But he also brought great wisdom and insight to | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
what he did. And, of course, he will be sadly missed by all others but | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
also by his loyal listeners for who he often does when he often brought | :03:47. | :03:47. | |
light dark days. cold, ironic fashion, yet explained | :03:48. | :04:22. | |
how much he loved the job he was so good at. I just come here and enjoy | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
myself. I never regard it as a chore. Don't tell anybody, but I | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
would do it for nothing!. A man's been shot in the legs | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
in Strabane. He was attacked in the Ballycolman | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
estate in the town, A woman and a child have been taken | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
to hospital following a hit They were in a car which was | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
involved in a collision with The police have closed part of the | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
road while they examine the car. Two DUP ministers are warning | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
about the serious impact cuts will The Health Minister Edwin Poots | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
and the Social Development Minister Nelson McCausland say | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
their departments are losing Here's our Political | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
reporter Stephen Walker. Edwin Poots wanted a extra for his | :05:11. | :05:27. | |
health departments, but he got just 20 in a new budget revealed earlier | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
this month. He says the cuts mean nursing recruitment will be | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
affected, there will be less money for drugs and operations. -- | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
operations will be cancelled. I've no intention of making these cuts so | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
goes back to the executive. They need to either step up to the plate | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
and give me the money to do it. We potentially break the budget, they | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
find another minister to do it or indeed the executive takes a | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
decision. Earlier this month, the Finance Minister Simon Hamilton | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
criticised Edwin Poots -- his colleague for overspending. Some are | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
wondering if today's development is part of the DUP power struggle. I | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
would like to think it is not internal party politics or | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
leadership. It will be a shocking thing if the health of the people of | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
Northern Ireland was being used as any kind of political pawn. I would | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
like to think that the current health minister is finally doing the | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
right thing, standing up for the service, standing up for the people. | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
Others insist that Edwin Poots has created a political crisis in his | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
own department. I'm surprised he's not tendered his resignation and | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
that is a matter between himself and his party. But they do not need a | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
crisis at the moment. He needs to be stabilised by this minister or a new | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
minister. Today, Edwin Poots was not the only DUP minister to one of dark | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
days ahead. The social development Minister Nelson McCausland says his | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
department must save ?29 million. I must look round the department at | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
the areas of responsibility to see whether savings can be made. Is it | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
in housing, is it in housing, editing neighbourhood renewal is it | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
in the community voluntary sector or is it within the Department of | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
employment? I'm not a magician, I cannot make money out of thin air. I | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
must look for areas where savings can be made. Whether it is housing | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
or health, this new financial climate is beginning to take hold. | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
The former Taoiseach Albert Reynolds has died at the age of 81. | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
The Fianna Fail politician led his party in two coalition | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
governments and served as Taoiseach for three years. | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
Mr Reynolds negotiated the Downing Street Declaration with John Major | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
in 1993 and was considered to have played a significant role in the | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
peace process in Northern Ireland, including the 1994 IRA ceasefire. | :07:53. | :08:02. | |
He came along as tee shot at exactly the right time. He was very | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
concerned about the -- teashop. He was concerned about the mayhem on | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
the mainland. He was prepared to take risks to but it right. The | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
fight that he was prepared to take political risks for peace, knowing | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
in mind and badly, marks him out as a very special kind of person. | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
As we go through this evening and overnight, those clear skies mean we | :08:29. | :08:38. | |
are going to see temperatures fall away really quite markedly. They | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
will go down into single figures in many places, seven | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
will go down into single figures in even a bit cooler than that in the | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
countryside. A future was continuing overnight. The clear skies do is up | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
for quite a nice start to the day on Friday. Dry and bright in the main | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
and as we go through the day, while we do have a future was around, | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
is really much brighter feeling day. It is a much | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
is really much brighter feeling day. the UK and Ireland, the low pressure | :09:05. | :09:05. | |
system has moved on to the East, means we will see the odd shower, | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
but lots more in the way are means we will see the odd shower, | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
and sunny weather, really the only variation is in the temperature. It | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
gets warmer the further south and east you go. For us in Northern | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
Ireland, through the afternoon, any remaining showers will gradually | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
start to fizzle out. It is not going to be warm though. Highs of 14 or 15 | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
degrees in that north westerly breeze doorstop so, holding | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
temperatures down. As we go into the evening, it is another chilly | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
nights. Saturday has a similar sort of feel, reasonable amounts of dry | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
and bright weather, the odd isolated shower here and there, again, not a | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
warm day. Highs of 14 or 15 degrees. Things will change by the time they | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
get into the second half of the weekend am a front moves in late on | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
Sunday. It means it will be an unsettled Bank Holiday Monday. | :09:59. | :10:00. |
