The headlines on BBC Newsline: A family escapes injury

:00:13.:00:18.

as a hoverboard explodes in their home.

:00:19.:00:25.

This Antrim toddler had a pioneering kidney transplant

:00:26.:00:26.

If you stop and think about it too much it becomes hard to get your

:00:27.:00:40.

head around and overwhelming. Arlene Foster tells Enda Kenny

:00:41.:00:41.

that he must not interfere The police apologise to the family

:00:42.:00:45.

of a former republican prisoner for failing to properly

:00:46.:00:48.

investigate his disappearance. Also in the programme: The Hollywood

:00:49.:00:53.

star who has returned home to help young people get a start

:00:54.:00:57.

in the industry. Ulster welcome back key

on the way tonight which could lead to difficult road

:01:05.:01:11.

conditions for some. First to that fire at a house in

:01:12.:01:27.

Belfast. The family say a hoverboard caught fire as it was charging

:01:28.:01:33.

overnight. A downstairs room was destroyed by the flames but the

:01:34.:01:36.

family were able to get out of the house. We have been too eased

:01:37.:01:38.

Belfast and describe what happened. It is really only is you come into

:01:39.:01:47.

the house here on Ardgowan Street that you can see the extent of the

:01:48.:01:51.

damage caused by the fire which started shortly before 7pm last

:01:52.:01:56.

night. This hoverboard exploded and caused huge amount of damage.

:01:57.:01:59.

Sitting here in the living room, where Sharon Massey, her daughters

:02:00.:02:08.

and a granddaughter. What happened? I was sitting on the sofa feeding my

:02:09.:02:16.

granddaughter and my daughters were sitting here on their phones. We

:02:17.:02:22.

just heard this almighty bang and it burst into flames. In a matter of

:02:23.:02:26.

seconds everything was on fire. I just threw the dinner and grabbed

:02:27.:02:31.

the child and got out as quickly as possible.

:02:32.:02:35.

How long have you had it? It has been charged before?

:02:36.:02:43.

Yes, it was a Christmas present. I wouldn't have put it on charges

:02:44.:02:47.

nobody was in the house, in order to keep an eye on it.

:02:48.:02:55.

You're starting dialysis tomorrow, you are in a difficult situation

:02:56.:02:59.

yourself. Yes, I have been on the kidney

:03:00.:03:05.

transplant list for over a year and am going for dialysis tomorrow.

:03:06.:03:08.

And now in the middle of that you need to find someone new to live and

:03:09.:03:16.

replace belongings. The remains of the hoverboard are

:03:17.:03:20.

still here in the corner of the living room. The entire house is

:03:21.:03:25.

covered in a layer of suit and the family are now looking for a new

:03:26.:03:28.

home. A fire which broke out in the cabin

:03:29.:03:28.

of a cargo ship in Londonderry About 50 firefighters,

:03:29.:03:32.

including specialist teams from Belfast, worked to bring

:03:33.:03:34.

the blaze under control. There are no reports

:03:35.:03:36.

of any injuries. In a world first, 3-D printing

:03:37.:03:40.

technology has enabled a County Antrim toddler to receive

:03:41.:03:44.

a life-saving kidney transplant. The organ was donated by her father

:03:45.:03:47.

and the printing technology allowed surgeons to build a paper model

:03:48.:03:51.

and then work out exactly how they could fit the adult kidney

:03:52.:03:56.

into the child's body. Our Health Correspondent,

:03:57.:04:04.

Marie-Louise Connolly, Chris Boucher reading his daughter

:04:05.:04:25.

her favourite book. Lucy's health complications began when she falls

:04:26.:04:29.

for weeks old. She suffered heart failure which impacted on her bowel

:04:30.:04:35.

and kidneys. Well it is common for children to receive dialysis,

:04:36.:04:38.

surgeons in London felt a kidney transplant was the best option. With

:04:39.:04:42.

her dad the perfect match, a 3-D printer enabled the team to build a

:04:43.:04:50.

replica of Chris' kidney and Lucy's stomach so they could understand how

:04:51.:04:53.

to proceed with the complex operation.

:04:54.:04:56.

It is strange. If you stop and think about it too much, it is hard to get

:04:57.:05:01.

your head around and overwhelming, that there is a part of you inside

:05:02.:05:06.

your daughter and is giving her all this energy and growth and ability

:05:07.:05:10.

to do things she could not do before. And as meaning she does not

:05:11.:05:15.

have to be on dialysis three days out with. You can get quite

:05:16.:05:20.

emotional if you think about it too much.

:05:21.:05:23.

Pioneering technique made it onto the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire Show.

:05:24.:05:30.

They linked up with Lucy's surgeon in London.

:05:31.:05:41.

This is Lucy's -- Chris' kidney and we are essentially trying to place

:05:42.:05:45.

that in the right position. We are thinking about incision, how to

:05:46.:05:50.

approach the vessels and the best lie of the kidney inside Lucy.

:05:51.:06:03.

Lucy turned to the last week. It is a milestone the family thought they

:06:04.:06:05.

would never see. The prognosis is good. We are hoping

:06:06.:06:12.

that Chris' kidney will last for 15 to 20 years, hopefully into adult

:06:13.:06:21.

food, and then we will see. It shows how technology and the

:06:22.:06:24.

health service are constantly saving lives.

:06:25.:06:33.

An overnight arson attack in south Belfast is being treated

:06:34.:06:36.

It happened at around two o'clock in Ebor Street.

:06:37.:06:41.

The car was extensively damaged and the attack is being investigated

:06:42.:06:44.

The vehicle has since been removed for closer examination

:06:45.:06:49.

Next, the debate over the UK's continued membership

:06:50.:06:54.

of the European Union and what's called the Brexit Referendum.

:06:55.:06:58.

Remarks by the Taoiseach in Downing Street yesterday have

:06:59.:07:01.

sparked criticism from the First Minister and other unionists.

:07:02.:07:04.

In a moment, we'll hear from our Dublin Correspondent,

:07:05.:07:07.

but first to Stormont and our Political Correspondent,

:07:08.:07:18.

Arlene Foster said that Enda Kenny can have an opinion but cannot

:07:19.:07:34.

interfere in the EU Referendum Bill. You as a flavour of what she said.

:07:35.:07:42.

-- here is a flavour. I don't think he is entitled to

:07:43.:07:46.

interfere in the referendum and encourage people to vote in a

:07:47.:07:50.

particular way. It is a matter that we will have to take under

:07:51.:07:54.

consideration and we will look at the package, in terms of the Prime

:07:55.:07:59.

Minister's negotiations. We will look at that and decide in the

:08:00.:08:02.

interests of Northern Ireland and the night Kingdom, whether we should

:08:03.:08:10.

leave or stay in the European Union. Do you interpret these remarks as

:08:11.:08:12.

interference? You could interpret them as

:08:13.:08:16.

interfering but I prefer to take a benign view and say that he is

:08:17.:08:22.

expressing his views. We will take our own counsel on these matters.

:08:23.:08:26.

No date has been set for the referendum but she did mention

:08:27.:08:31.

timing. The assembly election will take

:08:32.:08:36.

place in May and much talk of the EU Referendum Bill place in June and

:08:37.:08:43.

the closeness of those dates bothers Mrs Foster.

:08:44.:08:49.

I think the two things could become intertwined. A lot of the national

:08:50.:08:59.

focus will be on that issue instead of the fundamental issues here in

:09:00.:09:06.

Northern Ireland. Where do we want to see Northern Ireland in those

:09:07.:09:10.

five coming years coming up to the centenary of Northern Ireland? Have

:09:11.:09:15.

a lot to talk about in the assembly elections. I think we have the

:09:16.:09:20.

referendum close to that, that will get lost.

:09:21.:09:21.

Is there any surprise in government circles there by the strength

:09:22.:09:25.

There is a realisation that there is an assembly election in May but they

:09:26.:09:39.

have been pointing out that what the Taoiseach said was nothing new. He

:09:40.:09:46.

has said it many times before. It is the Irish government's view that the

:09:47.:09:54.

referendum is for the people to decide on but it does have a

:09:55.:10:02.

national interest at stake. He says it is in everybody's interest for

:10:03.:10:07.

the UK to remain in the EU. One report said a Brexit could cost the

:10:08.:10:15.

state here 3.3 billion euros every year. There are implications for

:10:16.:10:29.

freedom of movement, border posts and trade and commerce. Because it

:10:30.:10:36.

has a stake in it, the Irish government will continue to make its

:10:37.:10:44.

nuclear. I was unaware of any rare action -- reaction from Sinn Fein.

:10:45.:10:56.

There is some amusement in Dublin with Sammy Wilson describing the

:10:57.:11:02.

Taoiseach's comments as an inappropriate invasion of affairs.

:11:03.:11:10.

He's very strongly lobbied that then finance minister about a portfolio.

:11:11.:11:20.

Pleading that there would be no sell-off of the portfolio.

:11:21.:11:33.

This is BBC Newsline and still to come on the programme:

:11:34.:11:37.

The Belfast actress who has returned from Hollywood to help young people

:11:38.:11:41.

The Assistant Chief Constable has offered to meet the family of a man

:11:42.:11:50.

from Londonderry to personally apologise over the police

:11:51.:11:53.

investigation into his disappearance and subsequent death.

:11:54.:11:59.

The Ombudsman said there were serious failings in how

:12:00.:12:02.

officers reacted to Gerard Hampson going missing and recommended that

:12:03.:12:05.

Here's our North-West reporter, Keiron Tourish.

:12:06.:12:16.

53 ruled Gerald Hanson disappeared in November 2000 and seven. At the

:12:17.:12:26.

time he was wanted in connection with the kidnapping and the public.

:12:27.:12:31.

Six weeks later, his naked body was found on these shores. The

:12:32.:12:36.

postmortem was inconclusive but a pathologist concluded there could be

:12:37.:12:42.

suspicions around the death. It is still unclear how he died. Patrick

:12:43.:12:48.

complaint from the family, the police ombudsman identified what he

:12:49.:12:53.

described as serious failings in the investigation.

:12:54.:12:58.

We found that the investigation into the disappearance was inconsistent.

:12:59.:13:01.

Actions that should've been taken were not taken. People did not take

:13:02.:13:04.

responsibility for actions they should have completed. In essence,

:13:05.:13:09.

nobody gripped those important first steps of the inquiry. As a

:13:10.:13:13.

consequence of that, the family were left none the wiser as to what

:13:14.:13:16.

happened. It was disgraceful. They would not

:13:17.:13:22.

treat dogs the way they treated me and my family. Just because of his

:13:23.:13:29.

Republican background, they didn't bother.

:13:30.:13:37.

He said these feelings had not been motivated by a desire to cover

:13:38.:13:42.

police -- by police to cover up crying.

:13:43.:13:49.

We wanted to speak to him and he was treated as a wanted person rather

:13:50.:13:53.

than a missing person. That was wrong and we are sorry about that.

:13:54.:13:59.

The police say the case remains under active investigation and

:14:00.:14:02.

pointed to the fact that there has been a recent arrest. But they

:14:03.:14:06.

acknowledge and accept that lessons need to e-learning. -- we learned.

:14:07.:14:12.

The funeral of the murdered pensioner Eddie Girvan has taken

:14:13.:14:15.

The 67-year-old was found dead in his home in

:14:16.:14:18.

His hands had been tied and he had been stabbed.

:14:19.:14:22.

A 29-year-old Belfast woman has appeared in court

:14:23.:14:23.

The SAS opened fire on the men in the 1987. Another man who drove past

:14:24.:14:47.

was also killed. The Belfast Islamic Centre hopes

:14:48.:14:51.

to get planning permission for a new and bigger centre close

:14:52.:14:55.

to Queen's University. With a growing Muslim population

:14:56.:14:58.

boosted by students and refugees, the current centre is

:14:59.:15:02.

no longer fit for purpose, The Islamic centre has been at the

:15:03.:15:20.

heart of Northern Ireland's Muslim timidity since 1968. It seems the

:15:21.:15:22.

committee has no role in its premises.

:15:23.:15:30.

We can't all congregate at one time. We can truly have social activities

:15:31.:15:36.

that we would like to have. According to the Census, the

:15:37.:15:47.

community was 4000 but we need to add students that come every year.

:15:48.:15:58.

We may see 5000 or 6000. It is not just the case of papering

:15:59.:16:02.

over the cracks, it is time to move on a grand scale.

:16:03.:16:07.

This is the iconic building a plan to move to later in the year. It

:16:08.:16:09.

used to belong to the Methodist Church. It is close to the city

:16:10.:16:15.

centre. We did not have a use for it and

:16:16.:16:19.

struggled for a number of years to sell it. Eventually be sold to a

:16:20.:16:24.

developer who then sold it to the Islamic centre. We would welcome

:16:25.:16:30.

that building being used and would seek to be what we would call a good

:16:31.:16:34.

neighbour and a friend of those who come to use the building.

:16:35.:16:40.

Building takes time. There is the planning process.

:16:41.:16:43.

A record number of cruise ships will visit Belfast this year.

:16:44.:16:46.

By now though the luxury liners should have been berthing

:16:47.:16:49.

at a dedicated terminal near the Titanic Belfast.

:16:50.:16:52.

But that location has been abandoned.

:16:53.:16:56.

Plan B is several miles away, as our business correspondent,

:16:57.:16:59.

Belfast is a more popular stop off than ever. 81 cruise ships will day

:17:00.:17:13.

trip year this year, up by one third on last year and a new record. They

:17:14.:17:17.

have been docking in amongst the cargo ships after plans for a

:17:18.:17:25.

dedicated terminal near Titanic Belfast were scrapped due to

:17:26.:17:29.

environmental issues. Now there is a plan B but the tourist attraction is

:17:30.:17:33.

disappointed that it is miles further down the lock. Subject to

:17:34.:17:43.

planning, ?40 million will be spent on a new facility which will be open

:17:44.:17:48.

to cruise ships by next year, it is hoped. The harbour believes the

:17:49.:17:53.

location is better suited to larger vessels.

:17:54.:18:02.

The challenge in the narrow area is whether cruise liners can get in in

:18:03.:18:07.

all conditions. Cruise visitors are predominantly

:18:08.:18:12.

North American and take jaded tours and coach trips to Belfast and

:18:13.:18:17.

beyond. One day stays are not usually

:18:18.:18:22.

lucrative but tourism officials have a target figure they are more than

:18:23.:18:26.

halfway towards meeting. He destination like ours a balanced

:18:27.:18:34.

portfolio of day trips, leisure tourism and business tourism. It is

:18:35.:18:40.

the equivalent of 200 jobs so is not to be sniffed at.

:18:41.:18:47.

By this time next year, there should be evidence of an investment aimed

:18:48.:18:49.

at capturing future growth. The worldwide cargo handling

:18:50.:18:53.

business Swissport is creating 100 jobs at Belfast

:18:54.:18:57.

International Airport. Swissport says the jobs will include

:18:58.:19:00.

positions in passenger check-in, The expansion will bring

:19:01.:19:03.

its workforce at the International to around 350, making it the biggest

:19:04.:19:08.

employer at the airport. Swissport says its expansion

:19:09.:19:12.

was based on planned airline growth at Aldergrove,

:19:13.:19:16.

with Ryanair due to begin operating Last year, the airport group

:19:17.:19:31.

passenger numbers by around 10% across the year. During that year,

:19:32.:19:37.

there were some increases in operations with increased traffic

:19:38.:19:41.

with easyJet and now this year we have the announcement of a large

:19:42.:19:49.

Ryanair base here. That is generating lots of additional jobs

:19:50.:19:51.

right across the business. Over the past few years

:19:52.:19:54.

with a booming local filming industry, more and more people

:19:55.:19:56.

are trying to break into the world Getting experience isn't easy

:19:57.:19:59.

but as our arts correspondent Robbie Meredith reports that some

:20:00.:20:02.

big names are helping young people What is your name? I bet my hat that

:20:03.:20:21.

was your sister. She acts alongside stars like

:20:22.:20:24.

Jennifer Lawrence in films like the hunger games. But now she is back

:20:25.:20:31.

working with youngsters at the start of their careers.

:20:32.:20:41.

We are playing a family with a young son and they sort of come up against

:20:42.:20:44.

it in this film. The family gets torn apart and I play it

:20:45.:20:52.

policewoman. For many of the young people

:20:53.:20:55.

involved, it is invaluable experience.

:20:56.:20:59.

I am the trainee first assistant director and that somebody who keeps

:21:00.:21:04.

the ball rolling so that we keep to schedule and to get everything we

:21:05.:21:08.

need for that day. It feels more important, every

:21:09.:21:13.

second of every hour. It is precious because you have such little time to

:21:14.:21:18.

get the whole film done. Paula has acted in all 400 games

:21:19.:21:22.

films, right from the start of the series.

:21:23.:21:29.

There was so much heat around them and they were part of the zeitgeist.

:21:30.:21:33.

It was expected. It certainly took off. This film has

:21:34.:21:41.

to be shot in a week. There's a difference to shooting a

:21:42.:21:44.

big budget blockbuster? Hopefully teaching as well as doing our work.

:21:45.:21:52.

But sometimes you have to do that in Hollywood as well but rarely.

:21:53.:22:00.

You will able -- be able to see it in March.

:22:01.:22:02.

Now sport - and Stephen Watson has news of a boost for the Ulster Rugby

:22:03.:22:06.

team with a return of an Irish international.

:22:07.:22:08.

Stuart Olding looks set to return to the Ulster team this Saturday,

:22:09.:22:12.

after ten months out with a knee injury,

:22:13.:22:14.

which followed another lengthy spell out with a similar

:22:15.:22:16.

He made his latest comeback in the Ulster A side's match

:22:17.:22:21.

in Bristol at the weekend, scoring a try upon his return,

:22:22.:22:24.

and was relieved to emerge unscathed.

:22:25.:22:28.

I was more nervous on Monday or Tuesday when I was thinking the game

:22:29.:22:36.

was around the corner. Once I got out on the pitch, I was so pleased

:22:37.:22:40.

to be there and just thinking this is exactly where I want to be and

:22:41.:22:45.

take advantage of everything I can. It was a relief to get back out. Ten

:22:46.:22:51.

months hard work paid off. It was nice to get a wee try in there and

:22:52.:22:54.

took with my shoulders. World Hockey's governing body,

:22:55.:22:57.

the FIH, today announced the Ireland captain David Harte

:22:58.:23:00.

is their goalkeeper of the year. Harte played a major part

:23:01.:23:02.

in Ireland's first ever qualification for the Olympic Games

:23:03.:23:04.

and put in a series of fine displays as the team won bronze

:23:05.:23:07.

at the European Championships - Ireland's first ever medal

:23:08.:23:10.

at a major international event. Kris Meeke experienced the highs

:23:11.:23:12.

and lows of competing in the World Rally

:23:13.:23:14.

Championship at the weekend. He led the field on day one

:23:15.:23:17.

of the Monaco Rally - but then damage to his car

:23:18.:23:19.

forced him to retire, But Meeke wasn't too disappointed,

:23:20.:23:22.

as this is a season where In one respect, the pressure is off.

:23:23.:23:49.

There is no set target. I want to build my experience so we want to

:23:50.:23:54.

cover as possible but when there is not so much pressure you

:23:55.:23:55.

considerably enjoy yourself and maybe that is when the results come

:23:56.:24:01.

more easily. I am excited to be here at the beginning of the new season.

:24:02.:24:06.

We are going to be doing the first two rounds then take a break then we

:24:07.:24:09.

will be back again for the European events.

:24:10.:24:13.

In Monaco, he led the rally before a broken gearbox forced him to retire

:24:14.:24:19.

but the speech he showed was encouraging.

:24:20.:24:24.

When you do something crazy enough more often it becomes normal. The

:24:25.:24:31.

first time you step into the environment, it is crazy. But as you

:24:32.:24:36.

gain experience and climb up the ladder, it becomes more normal.

:24:37.:24:41.

Getting my opportunity at this level very late in my career but when you

:24:42.:24:48.

are new to this game you feel young and I think I have many years ahead

:24:49.:24:53.

of me to challenge for a World Championship.

:24:54.:24:57.

His first drive in what will be a year of experimenting for Meeke and

:24:58.:25:02.

has French team. It suggests they are heading in the right direction.

:25:03.:25:04.

The Belfast Giants are back in action tonight when they face
