MLAs have voted to allow the government to roll out | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
its welfare reforms here during a special sitting of the Assembly. | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
It was called after yesterday's agreement | :00:15. | :00:15. | |
between the DUP, Sinn Fein and the British and Irish governments. | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
The deal settled issues which had been threatening | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
Our political correspondent Chris Page reports. | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
The architects of the agreement have called the deal a fresh start. The | :00:31. | :00:39. | |
two biggest parties say it is a new awakening, others that it is a false | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
dawn. The deal unlocks the deadlock on | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
welfare. Today the Assembly passed a motion | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
allowing Westminster to legislate on the issue. | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
I am asking the Assembly to pass this consent motion, which will | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
enable us to reform the welfare system, whilst helping the most | :00:58. | :01:04. | |
vulnerable... The DUP pollen -- the DUP poster minister's proposal was | :01:05. | :01:12. | |
-- DUP Minister's proposal was supported by Sinn Fein. | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
This gives us protection is better than exist anywhere on this island. | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
Both parties are behind the deal. Westminster is set to pass the law | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
is changing the welfare system here, but Stormont will put in place | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
arrangements to help the -- people worst affected. The Executive is | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
setting aside ?585 million for this over four years. | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
But the SDLP, do you -- UUP and Alliance are not impressed. | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
How dare anybody to reduce this chamber to a post box after the | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
years of democratic struggle and the pain and grief suffered by our | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
people? To pass all this over to Westminster | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
is a clear admission of a lack of elliptical mature too. | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
This conference of agreement plus the proposals are described as a | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
fresh start, they are about as fresh as a student's bag of rugby. | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
-- a lack of political maturity. The alliance voted for the motion. | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
The SDLP and Ulster Unionist voted against. | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
The talks ended with a breakthrough, a new atmosphere of | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
corporation between the two largest parties. | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
But the day after the deal, the scrutiny has begun. | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
Victims' groups have criticised the deal reached between the parties | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
Both the British and Irish governments say whilst significant | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
progress has been made, a final agreement | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
on setting up new bodies to deal with the past couldn't be reached. | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
There are dozens of peace walls like this throughout Northern Ireland. | :02:57. | :03:05. | |
This new deal with attempt to address the whole issue of | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
interfaces by bringing what it calls a confidence -- confidence building | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
measures. The UK says it will provide ?60 million over five years | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
in an attempt to bring down the walls and create a shared future. | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
The past and how we deal with it could not get any agreement, despite | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
what the Government says is some significant progress. | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
I'm starting to despair whether there will ever be agreement on when | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
these issues. Whilst there is talking still ongoing, that has got | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
to be welcome, but my frustration is that at the end of the day they're | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
not going to be able to agree so Bill be another opportunity -- I | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
don't know if we will ever get the energy of the willpower back again. | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
This is the woman whose remit it is to give victims a voice. | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
It is critical that the two governments and the parties involved | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
and ourselves pushed to get this across the line. These issues will | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
come round again and if they do get parked, this is people who need to | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
have some truth. For some, no deal is better than a | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
bad Bill. The issue of national security is a stumbling block. -- | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
bad deal. The British Government has stepped | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
in and said they have two -- it is independent but they are to check | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
everything with us. That's not independent. | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
Theresa Villiers has agreed to meet with relatives. For others, it is | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
the issue of the -- A-level playing field when it comes to dealing with | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
the past. We would wish to see everything | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
brought out in the open. -- a level playing field. | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
The difficulty is that whilst there may be pressures coming to bear on | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
the Government, there are limited pressures that can be brought to | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
bear on terrorist organisations. None of us are getting any younger, | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
that is the main concern. A cynic might suggest that perhaps that | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
might suit the state, to let people die off and deal with legacy issues | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
in that way. Clearly there is a lot to consider | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
when it comes to victims, survivors and how to do with our past. It may | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
be some time yet before they get the answers that will help them move on | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
with their lives. An extra ?48 million is to be given | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
to the health service - most of it The announcement was made as part | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
of a reallocation of funds known The health minister welcomed | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
the news. We have been planning for this for | :05:40. | :05:49. | |
some time in of getting the resources. That means we are well | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
down the line in planning for this. Some people will start to get | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
notifications of these procedures in the next number of days. We are | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
going to try and use the maximum number of capacity in our hospitals, | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
and looking to others in the independent sector. We have ?40 | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
million to spend on waiting lists, I want to make sure the marks number | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
get the most assessments and surgery they possibly can. | :06:19. | :06:20. | |

happening. everywhere and finally the fight's | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
want this fight, they everywhere and finally the fight's | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
me before, but there is plenty of money on the line that is why | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
they're taking it. This fight is better than anything he has been | :07:19. | :07:19. | |
involved in or higher -- or I have. better than anything he has been | :07:20. | :07:27. | |
This place is going to be packed out, 20,000 people. It will be | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
something Scott Quigg is not used to. | :07:33. | :07:34. | |

BBC Newsline and we've part two of our series from Hydebank young | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
Our reporter Rick Faragher talks to a long-serving prison officer who | :07:51. | :07:59. | |
now also teaches craft classes to the inmates, and hears how some | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
A lot were apprehensive, a lot said, it will not work. But then | :08:03. | :08:14. | |
eventually surprisingly it turned it around. | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
And you can see more of that on BBC Newsline tomorrow night at 6:30pm. | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
Yesterday it was the South, today it has been part of the North -- parts | :08:21. | :08:34. | |
of the North that have borne the brunt of the high winds. Here in | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
Northern Ireland they peaked earlier this evening, nevertheless we have a | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
wind warning for some damaging gusts and some disruption. We could see | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
severe gale force gusts of up to 60 mph. Eventually they subside, but it | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
remains windy. Into tomorrow, a bright, breezy day coming up. | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
Airfare and mud of sunshine around but still a few showers. -- a fair | :09:00. | :09:09. | |
amount of sunshine. Bright, breezy, sunny spells in most of Britain, | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
cloudier for South Wales, south of England. We have a weather front | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
pushing in towards the north of Scotland, wringing wet conditions | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
there. Maybe wintry conditions over the hills. -- bringing wet | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
conditions. For more than added in the afternoon still a few shearers | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
-- showers around, towards the north and parts of the West particularly. | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
Temperatures are little bit down on today. That cooling trend continues | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
as we had through Friday into the weekend, in fact turning quite | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
wintry with cold, northerly winds. We are likely to get a few wintry | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
flurries as we head into Friday and Saturday. Some frost at night and a | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
bitter wind chill. Have a good evening, goodbye. | :10:01. | :10:03. |
