The DUP and Sinn Fein have become embroiled | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
in a war of words today following the First Minister's comments that | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
the Assembly system is not fit for purpose in its current form. | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
Peter Robinson said he wanted the Government to convene new talks | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
The Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness questioned whether they | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
would be successful because of opposition from some unionists. | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Our political editor Mark Devenport has this report. | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
Complaints about the delays and vetoes built into the current | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
But what is bringing the issue to the boil now is the divide between | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
Sinn Fein MLAs demonstrated outside the Assembly building yesterday | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
against what they view as Tory welfare cuts. | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
Republicans appear prepared to maintain their opposition, at least | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
until next year's general election, in the hope that a new Government in | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
London might cut Northern Ireland benefit claimants a better deal. | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
By contrast, the DUP fears Treasury fines combined with the price of | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
introducing a standalone computer system will break the Stormont bank. | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
We now have an issue which simply cannot be left on the shelf, it is | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
one that has to be dealt with, because we simply cannot afford in | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
terms of welfare reform to lift up the tab of ?1 billion a year, when | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
we only have a budget for resource expenditure of ?10 billion. | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
We simply couldn't cut by ?1 billion the services we give to the people | :01:35. | :01:42. | |
and the people who provide those services within the public sector. | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
If you don't get what you want, is this a resigning matter? | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
You are not going to find any member of the Democratic Unionist | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
Party who will be willing to cull that much out of the budget. | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
What kind of party would be prepared to allow the people of | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
Northern Ireland to suffer by having the welfare costs applied | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
By calling for a round of negotiations, | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
just like the St Andrew's talks in 2006, Peter Robinson is consciously | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
He is arguing it is time to scrap the system we had for | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
the past seven years and replace it with something radically different. | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
Sinn Fein has always been up for an engagement on meaningful and genuine | :02:26. | :02:33. | |
and positive dialogue and discussion to resolve problems and we will do | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
so again, but I do caution everybody as to whether or not this is a | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
serious attempt to resolve these issues, and I think many people out | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
there will be asking themselves very serious questions about those who | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
have been invited, to talk to them, who have not yet been agreed and the | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
negative approach they have adopted to these institutions over | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
Stormont has the builders in, carrying out vital repairs. | :03:04. | :03:13. | |
When or whether political repair work gets | :03:14. | :03:14. | |
Media reports in Mauritius say four people are being questioned | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
in connection with the murder of Tyrone woman Michaela McAreavey | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
Her family say they've been informed about new developments. | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
Michaela McAreavey was 27 when she was murdered by one honeymoon in | :03:28. | :03:44. | |
Mauritius in January 2011. The daughter of Mickey Hart, she was | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
staying at the legend's hotel with her husband John. Two former hotel | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
workers were acquitted of the killing following a high-profile | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
trial in the summer of 2012. No-one has ever been convicted of her | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
murder. A fresh investigation was launched by police in Mauritius | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
following the trial. Today a statement on behalf of the McAreavey | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
family said they had been informed of new developments into the | :04:11. | :04:19. | |
investigation. It is believed the investigation is looking at former | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
workers at the hotel. The families have criticised what they claimed | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
was a lack of progress in finding the killers. Now the sale will wait | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
for the information before making additional comment. -- now they say | :04:34. | :04:41. | |
they will await further information. The Education Minister has | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
welcomed agreement by the Executive to go ahead with a single education | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
board instead of the current five. It marks | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
the complete end to plans for the Education and Skills Authority - | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
or ESA - favoured by John O'Dowd. Our education correspondent | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
Maggie Taggart reports. For seven years, a plan to create an | :04:55. | :05:03. | |
all embracing Education and Skills Authority, or ESA, has missed a | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
series of deadlines. So far it has cost ?60 million. As time ran out, | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
the Education Minister had to admit he could not get an agreement that | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
had to go for a less radical alternative. A single body that | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
leaves out the other bodies in sectors he hopes to include. Even | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
more modest proposal has taken time be agreed. Now the DUP says | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
increased as -- increased support for these skills has won them | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
around. All parties have to compromise and we need stability. | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
The impasse over ESA was unsustainable. Education boards have | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
been winding down for years. Everyone recognised the current | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
scenario was unsustainable and we had to move forward. We needed to | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
compromise but I think this has brought about a stable educational | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
and environment which will be better for the system. The Department for | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
Education will construct new legislation much can be approved by | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
all parties by the deadline of next year. | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
The financial services company Deloitte is creating more than 300 | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
jobs in a major expansion in Belfast. | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
The well-paid posts are in technology as well | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
as finance and will be delivered over the next five years. | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
It is the second time that Deloitte has expanded here in as many years. | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
The average salary here is around 33,000 for the jobs we have | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
announced today. That is a good, high level, particularly for | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
graduates and people who are looking at an opportunity to move back to | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
Northern Ireland to get a job. Deloitte is a global firm and we | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
have two face-off other international competition and we | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
have secured this for Belfast. Hundreds of people gathered | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
at Belfast City Hall today to pay tribute to the boxer Carl Frampton, | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
who was crowned world IBF Champion The man from Tigers Bay | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
in the city was the special guest Mervyn Jess was there for | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
BBC Newsline. He strolled on the stage at City | :07:01. | :07:10. | |
Hall as Belfast's new sporting hero. Crowds of people turned out to catch | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
a glimpse of Carl Frampton, he was given a Lord Mayor's reception to | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
mark an exceptional achievement. There are hundreds of people here to | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
welcome and to congratulate the latest World Champion | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
from this part of the world, Carl "the Jackal" Frampton, standing | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
beside the Lord Mayor of Belfast. This is obviously a very important | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
day for the city, but just explain why it was you thought it was | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
important to have Carl on that stage There was no point | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
in doing something behind closed doors, the people of Belfast wanted | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
to show how proud they are. What about these people gathered | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
round, how important are they when you are stepping into a ring | :07:50. | :08:01. | |
in a fight like that? I said it before, you know, | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
the biggest crowd before this was 9,000 in the Odyssey, | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
I said it adds 10% to my game. Now with the weather forecast | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
here's Angie Phillips. The cloud broke up nicely in many | :08:10. | :08:35. | |
parts go into today, giving sunshine. Tonight, clear spells. | :08:36. | :08:43. | |
Quite cool with temperatures of around six - eight Celsius. Some | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
cruel sports, particularly in the south, could be close to freezing. | :08:47. | :08:59. | |
-- some rural spots. It looks as if the best of the sunshine tomorrow | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
will be in the West. In fact, fine day for the rest of Ireland and | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
Britain as well. Yes, there will be some cloud around, particularly in | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
northern Scotland and eastern England and the south-east. But | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
still some bright spells. Best of the sunshine in the West. | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
Temperatures getting into the low 20s. A very pleasant and Friday. It | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
stays dry and bright in Northern Ireland into the afternoon. Best | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
sunshine in the West. This is where we could see CM pictures -- | :09:29. | :09:39. | |
temperatures getting up to 18. As we head in to first day and the | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
weekend, the dry weather looks like it will continue. We still have that | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
South East MEPs. A little bit of clouds drifting in from time to time | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
but even then we are looking at some fairly decent bright and sunny | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
spells as well. Summer seems to be back. That was | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
BBC Newsline, good night. | :10:00. | :10:00. |
