:04:53. > :05:01.accordingly? -- Northern Ireland change? I will be gathered by the
:05:02. > :05:03.evidence, it is important to listen to health fashion dolls and
:05:04. > :05:08.scientists and what they say about evidence. I don't want to get into
:05:09. > :05:14.hypotheticals about what might happen in the future, but I want to
:05:15. > :05:20.see the evidence from Great Britain, and if that is right it is proper we
:05:21. > :05:23.move in that Wrexham. Why are you different from your predecessors in
:05:24. > :05:29.that role who didn't take that opinion? I think my predecessors
:05:30. > :05:34.have always wanted to ensure patient safety is to the fore, and Great
:05:35. > :05:41.Britain moved with advance of many other places. Yet in regard to Edwin
:05:42. > :05:45.Poots, aged said his decision was a rational and appeared to be based on
:05:46. > :05:52.bias. That was what the judge said but I think my predecessors, and I
:05:53. > :05:58.base our decisions on available evidence and that is what I am
:05:59. > :06:03.asking for. If that evidence is that a one-year deferral is appropriate
:06:04. > :06:09.and helps blood safety standards, it is right to follow that. What time
:06:10. > :06:14.frame are you talking about? When will you get that piece of work and
:06:15. > :06:19.make that decision? SABTO have been looking at this on an ongoing basis
:06:20. > :06:24.so I don't think this will take a lot of time. If they can provide
:06:25. > :06:31.that evidence quickly, that will allow Jeremy Hunt or I, whichever of

:08:22. > :08:25.always knew when she was in the house. Yes, if it was quiet you
:08:26. > :08:28.began to worry. One day she saw an advert on TV
:08:29. > :08:31.about organ donation, and started discussing
:08:32. > :08:33.it with her parents. She just sort of announced that
:08:34. > :08:35.if anything ever happened to her, she would like to give her whole
:08:36. > :08:43.body away to help other children. We were astounded by this revelation
:08:44. > :08:46.but didn't think much of it afterwards.
:08:47. > :08:49.In fact she was so sure that she repeated it to her granny

:09:01. > :09:03.I'm just really thankful that we had that conversation with Erin
:09:04. > :09:06.because we found out from that terrible experience that it is not
:09:07. > :09:16.You are too much in shock to make rational decisions like that,
:09:17. > :09:19.so it's important to make the decisions now before anything
:09:20. > :09:22.happens so you know your loved one's wishes.
:09:23. > :09:24.Erin's organs have given life to three little boys

:09:47. > :09:52.the one thing that keeps me going, especially at this time of year and
:09:53. > :09:56.am conscious that if it wasn't for Erin's it could have been for other

:13:52. > :13:54.cheer in Dundalk. Stores report an uplift in Northern shoppers thanks
:13:55. > :14:00.to Stirling's continued strength against the euro. It's a nice onus
:14:01. > :14:06.when you get it but the local trade is what keeps you here 12 months of
:14:07. > :14:11.the year, so it is a nice change to see them come down. There is a
:14:12. > :14:16.difference. The low euro can work in the favour of price conscious
:14:17. > :14:23.shoppers. A bottle of vodka for ?21 in your rate is ?1 cheaper in
:14:24. > :14:30.Dundalk. The same perk you up ?68 in Newry was cheaper in Dundalk at ?64
:14:31. > :14:39.once converted. We also price check a leading brand's tablet. At ?319 in
:14:40. > :14:45.the sterling zone, it was ?25 cheaper when bought in the South in
:14:46. > :14:52.euros. There is a double bounce for the Republic's border retailers, not
:14:53. > :14:57.just more Northern customers but fewer of their own shoppers spending
:14:58. > :15:02.outside the euro zone. According to one AA survey the number of people
:15:03. > :15:06.travelling north to shop is that a seven year low and has been dropping
:15:07. > :15:14.steadily since the recession in 2008. You have to hold onto your
:15:15. > :15:18.own, it is like the old, so we were glad to win our own home supporters
:15:19. > :15:25.and then look for other supporters from Newry or what down. In Newry,
:15:26. > :15:29.eight new stores have recently opened in one of its shopping
:15:30. > :15:35.centres and southern customers still travel, just fewer of them. At the
:15:36. > :15:40.minute we are under the cosh but seven or eight years ago we were the
:15:41. > :15:45.beneficiaries of the disparity in the exchange rate then, so we get on
:15:46. > :15:51.with it. Older businesses have lived through this beef or and the town
:15:52. > :15:57.has adapted to the ups and downs of currency Markets. In Newry we have
:15:58. > :16:01.worked at prices through the years. You don't retail in Newry, you trade
:16:02. > :16:08.and you have to keep customers happy. Retailers have already
:16:09. > :16:11.battled hard to survive the recession, now border traders face
:16:12. > :16:12.another challenge to ensure Christmas delivers the bumper payday
:16:13. > :16:15.that shops on. With the Bank of England keeping
:16:16. > :16:18.interest rates at a record low, it's difficult for savers to get
:16:19. > :16:21.a good return on their money. Where you keep your
:16:22. > :16:23.money is also a factor. The spotlight has been put on four
:16:24. > :16:42.bank groups here that are offering Northern Ireland's it at banks and
:16:43. > :16:46.building societies have been giving savers next to nothing. The body
:16:47. > :16:51.that regulates banks isn't happy about it, so it has named and shamed
:16:52. > :16:59.them. The three worst rates in the UK are from Danske Bank, the Ulster
:17:00. > :17:08.Bank and Progressive Building Society Thomas, all offering less
:17:09. > :17:15.than 0.01%, and First Trust also offers a low rate. To put that in
:17:16. > :17:21.context, if I put 100 homes into any of those accounts, after one year of
:17:22. > :17:30.doubling interest, this is the prize haul I would receive for all my hard
:17:31. > :17:35.saving. So four of the worst rates in the UK are with Northern Ireland
:17:36. > :17:41.banks, so our customers switching? I certainly would, every year or two
:17:42. > :17:47.years. No, I would just go for it is better customer service because how
:17:48. > :17:54.long you have to wait, you have to get an appointment to get a bank
:17:55. > :17:59.account. What you look for? Hidden fees and yearly charges, things like
:18:00. > :18:06.that, and if they get too expensive I switch. The bank all told me this
:18:07. > :18:10.list only shows one of their accounts and better rates are
:18:11. > :18:14.available. Northern Irish people are generally cautious about switching,
:18:15. > :18:18.if people are prepared to shop around for a deal, banks and
:18:19. > :18:24.building societies would need to follow suit. Thanks he lost the most
:18:25. > :18:28.after the housing crash and savers here are still paying the price for
:18:29. > :18:31.that with low interest rates on lots of accounts -- banks here lost the

:20:01. > :20:06.their qualifications to find out who they will play, and when he got
:20:07. > :20:10.there he gave us his lots. I'm looking for to the draw tomorrow. It
:20:11. > :20:16.will be exciting and hopefully favourable. All of us have been
:20:17. > :20:21.scribbling what we think is the best and worst case scenario. Have you
:20:22. > :20:26.been doing that or is it a case of seeing what's out there? No, I have
:20:27. > :20:32.looked at different teams and different pots. I wouldn't say there
:20:33. > :20:39.is a team I would especially want or avoid but we will see what comes, we
:20:40. > :20:44.have played a lot of big teams so we'll be ready for what comes out.
:20:45. > :20:51.Is England won that you would want to avoid or not mind? It is not a
:20:52. > :20:56.game I would really like because the nature is to home nations, it may
:20:57. > :21:01.overshadow the other two games, at the end of the day three points are

:25:46. > :25:53.forecast coming up tracking areas of rain, rain fall for the call for
:25:54. > :25:56.areas like Fermanagh -- critical. No weather warnings yet for Northern
:25:57. > :26:02.Ireland but there are warnings for the Republic of Ireland, so heavy
:26:03. > :26:07.rain will not be far away. It is chilly tonight with starry skies,
:26:08. > :26:11.cold for the Ulster match and you make glimpse a meteor shower over
:26:12. > :26:16.the next few nights. Showers are easing away, temperatures will get
:26:17. > :26:21.close to freezing so some frost reflate the four weather system
:26:22. > :26:28.moves into Southern counties, and the risk a risk of snow in places
:26:29. > :26:32.tomorrow, mainly over high round but there could be sleet at lower

:26:39. > :26:42.Scotland, warm and wet across the South including the Republic, but in
:26:43. > :26:48.between there will be that risk of snow. Tomorrow morning mainly
:26:49. > :26:54.Fermanagh, Armagh and County Down will see heaviest rain, snow on the
:26:55. > :26:59.boards before it clears away, and the afternoon will be dry and
:27:00. > :27:06.brighter. One or two showers but not as many and today, and the breeze
:27:07. > :27:10.will be less light than today, so although the temperatures will be
:27:11. > :27:15.similar it should not feel as better, but of course we will have
:27:16. > :27:20.clear skies tomorrow and it means temperatures continue to fall away.
:27:21. > :27:26.Tomorrow night there could be a sharp frost, and that frost may
:27:27. > :27:31.still be around on Sunday morning. The next weather system comes north
:27:32. > :27:34.on Sunday, so to begin with it is dry, another few hours of wet
:27:35. > :27:39.weather, some have even earthed in the West but it does not last that
:27:40. > :27:42.long, so it looks like it will stay and settled into next week. And that

:27:56. > :28:00.is a helping hand.
