:00:10. > :00:12.Fire officers say it may have started accidentally.
:00:13. > :00:28.Fire crews were called at around 4:30am this morning to Wear one
:00:29. > :00:36.building in the talents was already well alight. No one was hurt but
:00:37. > :00:40.people had to move to safety quickly. They are now being helped
:00:41. > :00:45.by family and friends knowing they had a narrow escape. Among those
:00:46. > :00:48.rescued were only young family awoken by the warnings of a
:00:49. > :00:51.neighbour. Everyone is safe and it looks like all the presents the
:00:52. > :00:58.children received yesterday have been destroyed. The Fire Service
:00:59. > :01:02.says several local crews were deployed but the ferocity of the
:01:03. > :01:07.blaze has led to structural damage. I dread to think what happened
:01:08. > :01:11.because a number have been left temporarily homeless. Credit has to
:01:12. > :01:18.be given for those brave people coming out in the early hours of
:01:19. > :01:22.Boxing Day and once again thank God there has been no fatalities.

:01:26. > :01:27.stabbed in west Belfast. The victims, who are in their 20s,
:01:28. > :01:30.were attacked by a man on a footbridge close
:01:31. > :01:32.to the Westlink at 7 Their injuries aren't believed
:01:33. > :01:37.to be life-threatening. Just over 18 months ago,
:01:38. > :01:40.50 workers at a County Tyrone cheese factory were given their redundancy
:01:41. > :01:43.notices and a century of milk processing in the Clogher
:01:44. > :01:46.Valley was about to end. But now Fivemiletown Creamery
:01:47. > :01:48.is continuing the cheese making tradition, winning awards
:01:49. > :01:50.and new customers. Our south west reporter
:01:51. > :02:08.Julian Fowler has the story. In April 2014, the factory gates
:02:09. > :02:13.were about to close for good. The business had suffered large losses
:02:14. > :02:18.and the factory was sold. Staff were given their redundancy notices until
:02:19. > :02:22.their jobs were at an end. But then Dale farm stepped in to carry on
:02:23. > :02:28.producing the handmade speciality cheese saving the jobs of about half
:02:29. > :02:32.the workforce. We had always regarded enviously the products and
:02:33. > :02:37.brands that they had and we were delighted to be able to get involved
:02:38. > :02:41.and rescue the business. Over the last year the company has been
:02:42. > :02:46.winning back its customers and its cheeses have been winning awards. It
:02:47. > :02:53.is now a very different atmosphere. The loss of the factory would have
:02:54. > :03:00.been devastating. We are still making a Bee Gees, still winning
:03:01. > :03:06.awards. On a regular basis, so it is a lot more positive than 18 months
:03:07. > :03:10.ago. After a year when milk prices have been in the headlines premium
:03:11. > :03:21.products like these offer higher returns. These products behind me
:03:22. > :03:26.are more than twice the price of a powder. The aim is to grow sales and
:03:27. > :03:31.the company has won a contract with the major European supermarket. This
:03:32. > :03:34.business has become profitable once again and it is hoped the long
:03:35. > :03:35.tradition of cheesemaking here will continue.

:04:32. > :04:37.in London and it is possible to do it in Rio. I am feeling good and
:04:38. > :04:39.feeling strong and I just have to get myself in that race and who
:04:40. > :04:40.knows what would happen. It's been a cold and wet Boxing Day,
:04:41. > :04:52.here's Angie with a look It has been dampened places and also
:04:53. > :04:56.chill a particularly in the West, and through the evening as patchy
:04:57. > :04:59.rain moves away, we get that cool are flooding across all parts
:05:00. > :05:03.through the course of the night, so it will be called with the
:05:04. > :05:09.temperature close to freezing in quite a few areas and maybe a couple
:05:10. > :05:14.of degrees lower end rural areas. Frost around and some mist and fog
:05:15. > :05:19.forming and one or two icy patches. A cold start to the day with some
:05:20. > :05:23.mist and fog slow to clear but for many, a bright start before rain
:05:24. > :05:28.moves then again, so the fog as I mentioned will be stubborn and
:05:29. > :05:32.places but where it goes we will get a few rays of sunshine, and it will
:05:33. > :05:36.be a merely dry and bright start across the Republic of Ireland and
:05:37. > :05:43.much of Scotland, and also across northern England and Wales where
:05:44. > :05:46.they have had that wet weather. Towards the south, private cloudy
:05:47. > :05:50.and mild at 15 Celsius. This weather front is the remnants of the heavy
