:01:34. > :01:36.overnight. A downstairs room was destroyed by the flames but the
:01:37. > :01:38.family were able to get out of the house. We have been too eased
:01:39. > :01:47.Belfast and describe what happened. It is really only is you come into
:01:48. > :01:51.the house here on Ardgowan Street that you can see the extent of the
:01:52. > :01:56.damage caused by the fire which started shortly before 7pm last
:01:57. > :01:59.night. This hoverboard exploded and caused huge amount of damage.

:02:09. > :02:16.and a granddaughter. What happened? I was sitting on the sofa feeding my
:02:17. > :02:22.granddaughter and my daughters were sitting here on their phones. We
:02:23. > :02:26.just heard this almighty bang and it burst into flames. In a matter of
:02:27. > :02:31.seconds everything was on fire. I just threw the dinner and grabbed
:02:32. > :02:35.the child and got out as quickly as possible.
:02:36. > :02:43.How long have you had it? It has been charged before?
:02:44. > :02:47.Yes, it was a Christmas present. I wouldn't have put it on charges
:02:48. > :02:55.nobody was in the house, in order to keep an eye on it.
:02:56. > :02:59.You're starting dialysis tomorrow, you are in a difficult situation

:03:06. > :03:08.transplant list for over a year and am going for dialysis tomorrow.
:03:09. > :03:16.And now in the middle of that you need to find someone new to live and
:03:17. > :03:20.replace belongings. The remains of the hoverboard are
:03:21. > :03:25.still here in the corner of the living room. The entire house is
:03:26. > :03:28.covered in a layer of suit and the family are now looking for a new

:03:29. > :03:32.of a cargo ship in Londonderry About 50 firefighters,
:03:33. > :03:34.including specialist teams from Belfast, worked to bring
:03:35. > :03:36.the blaze under control. There are no reports
:03:37. > :03:40.of any injuries. In a world first, 3-D printing
:03:41. > :03:44.technology has enabled a County Antrim toddler to receive
:03:45. > :03:47.a life-saving kidney transplant. The organ was donated by her father
:03:48. > :03:51.and the printing technology allowed surgeons to build a paper model
:03:52. > :03:56.and then work out exactly how they could fit the adult kidney
:03:57. > :04:04.into the child's body. Our Health Correspondent,
:04:05. > :04:25.Marie-Louise Connolly, Chris Boucher reading his daughter
:04:26. > :04:29.her favourite book. Lucy's health complications began when she falls
:04:30. > :04:35.for weeks old. She suffered heart failure which impacted on her bowel
:04:36. > :04:38.and kidneys. Well it is common for children to receive dialysis,
:04:39. > :04:42.surgeons in London felt a kidney transplant was the best option. With
:04:43. > :04:50.her dad the perfect match, a 3-D printer enabled the team to build a
:04:51. > :04:53.replica of Chris' kidney and Lucy's stomach so they could understand how
:04:54. > :04:56.to proceed with the complex operation.
:04:57. > :05:01.It is strange. If you stop and think about it too much, it is hard to get
:05:02. > :05:06.your head around and overwhelming, that there is a part of you inside
:05:07. > :05:10.your daughter and is giving her all this energy and growth and ability
:05:11. > :05:15.to do things she could not do before. And as meaning she does not
:05:16. > :05:20.have to be on dialysis three days out with. You can get quite
:05:21. > :05:23.emotional if you think about it too much.
:05:24. > :05:30.Pioneering technique made it onto the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire Show.
:05:31. > :05:41.They linked up with Lucy's surgeon in London.
:05:42. > :05:45.This is Lucy's -- Chris' kidney and we are essentially trying to place
:05:46. > :05:50.that in the right position. We are thinking about incision, how to
:05:51. > :06:03.approach the vessels and the best lie of the kidney inside Lucy.
:06:04. > :06:05.Lucy turned to the last week. It is a milestone the family thought they
:06:06. > :06:12.would never see. The prognosis is good. We are hoping
:06:13. > :06:21.that Chris' kidney will last for 15 to 20 years, hopefully into adult
:06:22. > :06:24.food, and then we will see. It shows how technology and the

:07:02. > :07:04.sparked criticism from the First Minister and other unionists.
:07:05. > :07:07.In a moment, we'll hear from our Dublin Correspondent,
:07:08. > :07:18.but first to Stormont and our Political Correspondent,
:07:19. > :07:34.Arlene Foster said that Enda Kenny can have an opinion but cannot
:07:35. > :07:42.interfere in the EU Referendum Bill. You as a flavour of what she said.
:07:43. > :07:46.-- here is a flavour. I don't think he is entitled to
:07:47. > :07:50.interfere in the referendum and encourage people to vote in a
:07:51. > :07:54.particular way. It is a matter that we will have to take under
:07:55. > :07:59.consideration and we will look at the package, in terms of the Prime
:08:00. > :08:02.Minister's negotiations. We will look at that and decide in the
:08:03. > :08:10.interests of Northern Ireland and the night Kingdom, whether we should
:08:11. > :08:12.leave or stay in the European Union. Do you interpret these remarks as
:08:13. > :08:16.interference? You could interpret them as
:08:17. > :08:22.interfering but I prefer to take a benign view and say that he is
:08:23. > :08:26.expressing his views. We will take our own counsel on these matters.
:08:27. > :08:31.No date has been set for the referendum but she did mention
:08:32. > :08:36.timing. The assembly election will take
:08:37. > :08:43.place in May and much talk of the EU Referendum Bill place in June and
:08:44. > :08:49.the closeness of those dates bothers Mrs Foster.
:08:50. > :08:59.I think the two things could become intertwined. A lot of the national
:09:00. > :09:06.focus will be on that issue instead of the fundamental issues here in
:09:07. > :09:10.Northern Ireland. Where do we want to see Northern Ireland in those
:09:11. > :09:15.five coming years coming up to the centenary of Northern Ireland? Have
:09:16. > :09:20.a lot to talk about in the assembly elections. I think we have the
:09:21. > :09:21.referendum close to that, that will get lost.
:09:22. > :09:25.Is there any surprise in government circles there by the strength
:09:26. > :09:39.There is a realisation that there is an assembly election in May but they
:09:40. > :09:46.have been pointing out that what the Taoiseach said was nothing new. He
:09:47. > :09:54.has said it many times before. It is the Irish government's view that the
:09:55. > :10:02.referendum is for the people to decide on but it does have a
:10:03. > :10:07.national interest at stake. He says it is in everybody's interest for
:10:08. > :10:15.the UK to remain in the EU. One report said a Brexit could cost the
:10:16. > :10:29.state here 3.3 billion euros every year. There are implications for
:10:30. > :10:36.freedom of movement, border posts and trade and commerce. Because it
:10:37. > :10:44.has a stake in it, the Irish government will continue to make its
:10:45. > :10:56.nuclear. I was unaware of any rare action -- reaction from Sinn Fein.
:10:57. > :11:02.There is some amusement in Dublin with Sammy Wilson describing the
:11:03. > :11:10.Taoiseach's comments as an inappropriate invasion of affairs.
:11:11. > :11:20.He's very strongly lobbied that then finance minister about a portfolio.

:12:32. > :12:36.Six weeks later, his naked body was found on these shores. The
:12:37. > :12:42.postmortem was inconclusive but a pathologist concluded there could be
:12:43. > :12:48.suspicions around the death. It is still unclear how he died. Patrick

:12:54. > :12:58.described as serious failings in the investigation.
:12:59. > :13:01.We found that the investigation into the disappearance was inconsistent.
:13:02. > :13:04.Actions that should've been taken were not taken. People did not take
:13:05. > :13:09.responsibility for actions they should have completed. In essence,
:13:10. > :13:13.nobody gripped those important first steps of the inquiry. As a
:13:14. > :13:16.consequence of that, the family were left none the wiser as to what
:13:17. > :13:22.happened. It was disgraceful. They would not
:13:23. > :13:29.treat dogs the way they treated me and my family. Just because of his
:13:30. > :13:37.Republican background, they didn't bother.
:13:38. > :13:42.He said these feelings had not been motivated by a desire to cover
:13:43. > :13:49.police -- by police to cover up crying.
:13:50. > :13:53.We wanted to speak to him and he was treated as a wanted person rather
:13:54. > :13:59.than a missing person. That was wrong and we are sorry about that.
:14:00. > :14:02.The police say the case remains under active investigation and
:14:03. > :14:06.pointed to the fact that there has been a recent arrest. But they

:14:59. > :15:02.boosted by students and refugees, the current centre is
:15:03. > :15:20.no longer fit for purpose, The Islamic centre has been at the
:15:21. > :15:22.heart of Northern Ireland's Muslim timidity since 1968. It seems the
:15:23. > :15:30.committee has no role in its premises.
:15:31. > :15:36.We can't all congregate at one time. We can truly have social activities
:15:37. > :15:47.that we would like to have. According to the Census, the
:15:48. > :15:58.community was 4000 but we need to add students that come every year.
:15:59. > :16:02.We may see 5000 or 6000. It is not just the case of papering
:16:03. > :16:07.over the cracks, it is time to move on a grand scale.
:16:08. > :16:09.This is the iconic building a plan to move to later in the year. It
:16:10. > :16:15.used to belong to the Methodist Church. It is close to the city
:16:16. > :16:19.centre. We did not have a use for it and
:16:20. > :16:24.struggled for a number of years to sell it. Eventually be sold to a
:16:25. > :16:30.developer who then sold it to the Islamic centre. We would welcome
:16:31. > :16:34.that building being used and would seek to be what we would call a good
:16:35. > :16:40.neighbour and a friend of those who come to use the building.
:16:41. > :16:43.Building takes time. There is the planning process.
:16:44. > :16:46.A record number of cruise ships will visit Belfast this year.
:16:47. > :16:49.By now though the luxury liners should have been berthing
:16:50. > :16:52.at a dedicated terminal near the Titanic Belfast.
:16:53. > :16:56.But that location has been abandoned.
:16:57. > :16:59.Plan B is several miles away, as our business correspondent,
:17:00. > :17:13.Belfast is a more popular stop off than ever. 81 cruise ships will day
:17:14. > :17:17.trip year this year, up by one third on last year and a new record. They
:17:18. > :17:25.have been docking in amongst the cargo ships after plans for a
:17:26. > :17:29.dedicated terminal near Titanic Belfast were scrapped due to
:17:30. > :17:33.environmental issues. Now there is a plan B but the tourist attraction is
:17:34. > :17:43.disappointed that it is miles further down the lock. Subject to
:17:44. > :17:48.planning, ?40 million will be spent on a new facility which will be open
:17:49. > :17:53.to cruise ships by next year, it is hoped. The harbour believes the
:17:54. > :18:02.location is better suited to larger vessels.
:18:03. > :18:07.The challenge in the narrow area is whether cruise liners can get in in
:18:08. > :18:12.all conditions. Cruise visitors are predominantly
:18:13. > :18:17.North American and take jaded tours and coach trips to Belfast and
:18:18. > :18:22.beyond. One day stays are not usually
:18:23. > :18:26.lucrative but tourism officials have a target figure they are more than
:18:27. > :18:34.halfway towards meeting. He destination like ours a balanced
:18:35. > :18:40.portfolio of day trips, leisure tourism and business tourism. It is
:18:41. > :18:47.the equivalent of 200 jobs so is not to be sniffed at.
:18:48. > :18:49.By this time next year, there should be evidence of an investment aimed
:18:50. > :18:53.at capturing future growth. The worldwide cargo handling
:18:54. > :18:57.business Swissport is creating 100 jobs at Belfast
:18:58. > :19:00.International Airport. Swissport says the jobs will include
:19:01. > :19:03.positions in passenger check-in, The expansion will bring
:19:04. > :19:08.its workforce at the International to around 350, making it the biggest
:19:09. > :19:12.employer at the airport. Swissport says its expansion
:19:13. > :19:16.was based on planned airline growth at Aldergrove,
:19:17. > :19:31.with Ryanair due to begin operating Last year, the airport group
:19:32. > :19:37.passenger numbers by around 10% across the year. During that year,
:19:38. > :19:41.there were some increases in operations with increased traffic
:19:42. > :19:49.with easyJet and now this year we have the announcement of a large
:19:50. > :19:51.Ryanair base here. That is generating lots of additional jobs
:19:52. > :19:54.right across the business. Over the past few years
:19:55. > :19:56.with a booming local filming industry, more and more people
:19:57. > :19:59.are trying to break into the world Getting experience isn't easy
:20:00. > :20:02.but as our arts correspondent Robbie Meredith reports that some
:20:03. > :20:21.big names are helping young people What is your name? I bet my hat that

:21:05. > :21:08.the ball rolling so that we keep to schedule and to get everything we
:21:09. > :21:13.need for that day. It feels more important, every
:21:14. > :21:18.second of every hour. It is precious because you have such little time to

:21:34. > :21:41.It was expected. It certainly took off. This film has

:22:22. > :22:24.in Bristol at the weekend, scoring a try upon his return,
:22:25. > :22:28.and was relieved to emerge unscathed.
:22:29. > :22:36.I was more nervous on Monday or Tuesday when I was thinking the game
:22:37. > :22:40.was around the corner. Once I got out on the pitch, I was so pleased
:22:41. > :22:45.to be there and just thinking this is exactly where I want to be and
:22:46. > :22:51.take advantage of everything I can. It was a relief to get back out. Ten
:22:52. > :22:54.months hard work paid off. It was nice to get a wee try in there and
:22:55. > :22:57.took with my shoulders. World Hockey's governing body,
:22:58. > :23:00.the FIH, today announced the Ireland captain David Harte

:23:08. > :23:10.at the European Championships - Ireland's first ever medal
:23:11. > :23:12.at a major international event. Kris Meeke experienced the highs
:23:13. > :23:14.and lows of competing in the World Rally
:23:15. > :23:17.Championship at the weekend. He led the field on day one
:23:18. > :23:19.of the Monaco Rally - but then damage to his car
:23:20. > :23:22.forced him to retire, But Meeke wasn't too disappointed,
:23:23. > :23:49.as this is a season where In one respect, the pressure is off.
:23:50. > :23:54.There is no set target. I want to build my experience so we want to
:23:55. > :23:55.cover as possible but when there is not so much pressure you
:23:56. > :24:01.considerably enjoy yourself and maybe that is when the results come
:24:02. > :24:06.more easily. I am excited to be here at the beginning of the new season.
:24:07. > :24:09.We are going to be doing the first two rounds then take a break then we
