:01:03. > :01:07.Northern Ireland. Belfast is host city in 2021. We struggle with the

:01:08. > :01:11.latest winter storm to hit our shores and we will continue to feel

:01:12. > :01:17.the ghastly effect from Storm Henry right into tomorrow.

:01:18. > :01:25.First to that ?1.6 million which is being given to private

:01:26. > :01:27.companies who run residential care homes and care packages for people

:01:28. > :01:32.Just two months ago health professionals told us about a crisis

:01:33. > :01:36.in such care with a need to improve staffing.

:01:37. > :01:40.While workers have told the BBC their wages have to reflect

:01:41. > :01:43.the cash injection, the independent providers warn the new finance

:01:44. > :01:54.Our Health Correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly has the story.

:01:55. > :02:04.You all right? Go. It might look like chance play, but caring for the

:02:05. > :02:07.elderly is a difficult business. Presently, the difficulty is

:02:08. > :02:11.recruiting highly trained staff to work in residential care homes.

:02:12. > :02:20.Especially as demand for places continues growing. Staying longer,

:02:21. > :02:26.that is it, and continuity of staff, it is important. Always. According

:02:27. > :02:30.to staff, the hourly rate of no more than ?6.70 does not make it an

:02:31. > :02:38.attractive profession. Basically it is down to wages. There are better

:02:39. > :02:45.hourly rates needed to in harms and make more people come forward. --

:02:46. > :02:49.enhanced. It is hoped that the ?1.6 million investment today aimed at

:02:50. > :02:52.the Independent, or private sector, will address some of these

:02:53. > :02:58.challenges. How will the money be used? The hourly rate that health

:02:59. > :03:04.trusts currently pay domiciliary care toys will increase by 2%.

:03:05. > :03:08.Currently it is not clear how residential care home owners will

:03:09. > :03:12.use the additional funding. The big question is if employees pass the

:03:13. > :03:18.financial benefit on to class -- on to star. We will do best to renew

:03:19. > :03:22.eight staff as best we can. They do a difficult job answers -- often

:03:23. > :03:26.under difficult circumstances and they deserve to be well paid for

:03:27. > :03:29.what they do. The top minister said since meeting the sector he was

:03:30. > :03:35.aware of the different challenges, including recruitment. He said the

:03:36. > :03:38.package should bring stability to the sector and reassure residents

:03:39. > :03:42.and families all this being done to make sure of their continued

:03:43. > :03:46.well-being. The financial package today will receive more of a boost

:03:47. > :03:50.on the 1st of April when the Department of Health said it will

:03:51. > :03:54.make additional money available in order to cope with the impact of the

:03:55. > :03:59.national living wage. It means for the over 25 is working in this

:04:00. > :04:06.sector, the hourly rate will increase from ?6.70 per hour, up to

:04:07. > :04:10.?7.20. Good news for the workers but according to the owners of places

:04:11. > :04:13.like this, it is a major challenge. While employers welcome the cash

:04:14. > :04:18.boost today they call for the entire system to be reassessed. There is a

:04:19. > :04:23.need for an independent review, a root and branch review of the

:04:24. > :04:28.structure and model of the support of the social care structure and

:04:29. > :04:30.funding. The much-needed investment today is a significant nod from the

:04:31. > :04:33.department that at last they are trying to prioritise caring for

:04:34. > :04:37.people in the community. A man has been in court charged

:04:38. > :04:40.with the murder of Anthony McErlain Details of how he died have not

:04:41. > :04:44.been made public. Natalie Lindo reports

:04:45. > :04:54.from Coleraine Magistrates Court. The body of the 48-year-old father

:04:55. > :05:00.of two, Anthony McErlain, was found at a house in this area Ballycastle

:05:01. > :05:02.on Thursday night. A 33 roles appeared in Coleraine Magistrates

:05:03. > :05:08.Court charged with the murder of Anthony McErlain. He was dressed in

:05:09. > :05:12.a sweatshirt and tracksuit bottoms. The detective constable told the

:05:13. > :05:18.court that he believed he could connect him to the charge. He did

:05:19. > :05:23.not apply for bail and he is June in court again on the bridge the 29th.

:05:24. > :05:27.Senior investigating officer, does protect you and to Tolbert, said he

:05:28. > :05:34.suffered a dramatic and frightening death. He said he described the

:05:35. > :05:38.killing initially as a venous crime. Police have been granted extra time

:05:39. > :05:38.to question a 50-year-old also arrested in connection with the

:05:39. > :05:52.murder. Detectives are investigating the

:05:53. > :05:55.assault of a woman during a robbery in which her jaw was broken.

:05:56. > :05:58.Maureen Shepherd, who 76 years old, was attacked as she walked along

:05:59. > :06:01.an alleyway near the Falls Road last Friday night.

:06:02. > :06:05.Her attacker stole money and a mobile phone.

:06:06. > :06:11.The latest winter storm is already causing some travel disruption and

:06:12. > :06:15.threatening electricity. It has not been easy to get about. As shoppers

:06:16. > :06:19.have experienced in the city centre of Belfast it was a struggle to put

:06:20. > :06:22.one foot in front of the other, never mind protecting your job from

:06:23. > :06:28.the showers coming with the strong wind. -- yourself. A home

:06:29. > :06:34.furnishings company on this road was blown out in the strong gusts.

:06:35. > :06:41.Earlier, as the storm hit, a tree came down on the old Letterkenny

:06:42. > :06:42.Road. It has now reopened. The strongest winds today was on the

:06:43. > :06:53.County Down coast. This is the latest of the winter

:06:54. > :07:00.storms. It was here with a highest wind speed was recorded to date, 75

:07:01. > :07:05.mph. With wind of that kind of speed, you will get some damage. We

:07:06. > :07:08.have seen some trees down in various parts of Northern Ireland today.

:07:09. > :07:12.These scenes have become very familiar. We did not see the

:07:13. > :07:18.electrical power cuts that we saw last week with storm Gertrude when

:07:19. > :07:25.almost 20,000 homes and businesses lost power. But the wind will not

:07:26. > :07:31.peak until this evening. There is the potential for more disruption.

:07:32. > :07:35.The PSNI have warned motorists to take care, especially high sided

:07:36. > :07:43.vehicles on motorways, where they are particularly vulnerable.

:07:44. > :07:47.Translink have said buses using the M2and M5could face delays and have

:07:48. > :07:52.warned passengers to expect delays to the journey this evening. In

:07:53. > :07:56.short, the weather warning this evening, the yellow warning, it will

:07:57. > :08:01.remain in place until ten o'clock tomorrow morning. The message is

:08:02. > :08:03.take care on the roads and batten down the hatches for another stormy

:08:04. > :08:12.night. Full marks for braving those

:08:13. > :08:13.conditions. Angie Phillips will have a full forecast before the end of

:08:14. > :08:23.the programme. Still to come, a door into the dark.

:08:24. > :08:26.How one man forged a new career from an ancient trade.

:08:27. > :08:29.Michelle Gildernew has been dropped as a Sinn Fein candidate

:08:30. > :08:32.for the Fermanagh and South Tyrone constituency

:08:33. > :08:37.in May's Assembly election.

:08:38. > :08:40.She has been replaced on the ticket by the current MLA,

:08:41. > :08:43.The latest selection convention took place in Enniskillen last night,

:08:44. > :08:46.reversing a decision taken back in the middle of December.

:08:47. > :08:53.Our political editor Mark Devenport joins me from Stormont.

:08:54. > :09:02.How much of a surprise is this? I think it was a bit surprising. It

:09:03. > :09:05.has been a topsy-turvy sign time -- time for Sinn Fein. She lost her

:09:06. > :09:10.seat in Westminster last year to Tom Elliott. Then it looked like she

:09:11. > :09:15.would make a dramatic comeback in the middle of December, when she was

:09:16. > :09:19.selected instead of Flanagan to come forward as one of the candidates for

:09:20. > :09:24.the Assembly elections. But the ruling council ordered a rerun

:09:25. > :09:29.because apparently there were complaints about procedural errors.

:09:30. > :09:32.That decision taken in December has been turned around, with Phil

:09:33. > :09:40.Flanagan back on the ticket along with Sean Lynch and John Feeley.

:09:41. > :09:46.Michelle Gildernew losing out. Any sense at all about what her future

:09:47. > :09:50.might hold? Not very clear tonight. Given her high profile you would

:09:51. > :09:53.think, she is not just a former MP but a former agriculture Minister,

:09:54. > :09:58.that Sinn Fein would look to find a place for her. They have rules about

:09:59. > :10:02.wanting more than 30% of the candidates to be female. But that is

:10:03. > :10:07.across all elections rather than any one particular constituency. We did

:10:08. > :10:12.have rumours they might shift her next door to Mid Ulster because Mark

:10:13. > :10:16.McGuinness has gone back to his home constituency, but that is being

:10:17. > :10:19.ruled out tonight. She continues to work for Sinn Fein in a backroom

:10:20. > :10:23.capacity but no sign of any particular job in the offing.

:10:24. > :10:27.Interesting times in the run-up to the election.

:10:28. > :10:29.A new study says university students from Northern Ireland have some

:10:30. > :10:31.of the poorest reading, writing and maths skills

:10:32. > :10:35.The findings come from the worldwide Organisation

:10:36. > :10:36.for Economic Co-operation and Development.

:10:37. > :10:38.Our Education Correspondent Robbie Meredith takes a closer look

:10:39. > :10:54.Almost half of young people here go to university. But a number struggle

:10:55. > :10:58.with ASIC skills. The report compares university students in 23

:10:59. > :11:02.countries. -- ASIC skills. Northern Ireland came 22nd in literary skills

:11:03. > :11:08.with only students from England below. In numerically, 21st. Only

:11:09. > :11:13.about England and the USA and a long way behind countries like Finland,

:11:14. > :11:18.Holland and career. It is a worry for those that helped to prepare

:11:19. > :11:21.young people for work. Numerically and literacy skills are very

:11:22. > :11:27.important. No matter what walk of life you go into. I think it has got

:11:28. > :11:31.to be a concern. It not only puts young people at a disadvantage

:11:32. > :11:37.without these skills, but also local business and industry as well. The

:11:38. > :11:41.report also says some students can do little more than read the

:11:42. > :11:48.instructions on a bottle of aspirin, or understand a petrol gauge on a

:11:49. > :11:52.car. What do students think of that? People have different strengths in

:11:53. > :12:00.different subjects. Mine was more English. I got some jobs. It depends

:12:01. > :12:07.if they give me 20p extra armour to get the ?5 note back. They were

:12:08. > :12:11.trying to work that out for me. Even my younger brother would help me.

:12:12. > :12:14.Food for thought for everybody involved in the education system and

:12:15. > :12:19.not just universities. In some ways we did well. GCSE and A-level

:12:20. > :12:25.results are among the best in the UK. But this report said we need to

:12:26. > :12:26.pay more attention to the old disciplines, reading, writing and

:12:27. > :12:33.the rest take. -- arithmetic. People across Britain and Ireland

:12:34. > :12:35.have been expressing their sympathy and shock at the death

:12:36. > :12:37.of Sir Terry Wogan. The broadcaster died yesterday

:12:38. > :12:39.after suffering from cancer. He spent more of his working life

:12:40. > :12:42.in London but made several programmes on this side

:12:43. > :12:56.of the Irish Sea Maggie Taggart has -- Irish Sea. He was born in

:12:57. > :13:01.Limerick and he grew up in Dublin, where he started his broadcasting

:13:02. > :13:05.life. Most of his long career was with the BBC, from a DJ on a

:13:06. > :13:14.breakfast radio programme to Eurovision, where for almost 30

:13:15. > :13:20.years he showed his sardonic style. Oh, that is goodbye, good night. A

:13:21. > :13:24.series of programmes featured a round trip of Ireland and one stop

:13:25. > :13:29.was at the Titanic Quarter in Belfast where he was moved by the

:13:30. > :13:32.story of a descendent. He seemed to be interested in my particular

:13:33. > :13:36.family story. My great-grandfather gave my grandfather to pennies

:13:37. > :13:40.before sailing on the Titanic and of course did not come back. Sir Terry

:13:41. > :13:46.Wogan keen he should be able to hold those pennies and he seemed

:13:47. > :13:49.genuinely moved. He had a chat show for ten years and in 1995 he

:13:50. > :13:52.appeared on the BBC Northern Ireland programme with Gerry Anderson

:13:53. > :13:58.discussing an infamous appearance by George Best. When he came out I

:13:59. > :14:04.would across, to meet him. The light hit him and he was footless. A

:14:05. > :14:09.former BBC journalist remembers working with him on a children in

:14:10. > :14:13.need trip to Norway. The return to London demonstrated his massive

:14:14. > :14:16.popularity. We walked through Heathrow and everybody stopped what

:14:17. > :14:20.they were doing. Everybody stopped and went quiet, looked at him,

:14:21. > :14:26.waving, shouting out his name. It was like walking through Heathrow

:14:27. > :14:29.with the Queen! Do it now! Children in need was one of his passions. He

:14:30. > :14:34.presented it for more than three decades. He has fronted the

:14:35. > :14:40.programme since it started in 1980. 34 years. Last year was the first

:14:41. > :14:46.time he has not been there but he is very much with us in spirit. In

:14:47. > :14:51.Limerick, the city of his birth, a book of condolences was open in

:14:52. > :14:58.memory of the local boy, who though long gone, never forgot his roots.

:14:59. > :15:01.It's a common childhood condition - yet many parents and carers don't

:15:02. > :15:03.know anything about it until it happens.

:15:04. > :15:06.We're talking about febrile seizures which are caused by a high

:15:07. > :15:08.temperature and can affect children up until they are five years old.

:15:09. > :15:11.Our reporter Julie McCullough spoke to one mother who says every parent

:15:12. > :15:29.What is that on the TV? Hannah is completely fine now. Three weeks

:15:30. > :15:33.ago, she took a seizure in the middle of the night. Her mum Tracey,

:15:34. > :15:42.a nurse, did not know what was happening. She was foaming at the

:15:43. > :15:45.mouth. Her lips were blue. Luckily enough the seizure only lasted about

:15:46. > :15:51.a minute. She went into Lady sleep but was on responsive. -- not

:15:52. > :15:55.responsive. I could not understand why my daughter was taking a

:15:56. > :15:59.seizure. She is a perfectly healthy child. I thought she was dying. That

:16:00. > :16:04.is what most parents believe but in fact it is a more common condition

:16:05. > :16:09.than you might think. They are a type of seizure which can happen in

:16:10. > :16:18.children between six months and five years, with a temperature. It is

:16:19. > :16:21.very common. Just putting it in perspective, one in 50 children

:16:22. > :16:26.would have had it by the age of five in the UK and Ireland. When we were

:16:27. > :16:31.filming at the hospital, baby Jake was being monitored after having

:16:32. > :16:35.one. If your chart does have a seizure it is important to do a

:16:42. > :16:46.recovery position. You are a doctor on the children's ward and Kathryn,

:16:47. > :16:52.you are a nurse. Show me how to put her in the recovery position. I'm

:16:53. > :16:57.closest to you up to the head. Bring the hand across the body and back of

:16:58. > :17:04.the hand to the cheek. Lift the need service to up. Roll the child onto

:17:05. > :17:08.the site and open the airway. Make sure not to put anything into the

:17:09. > :17:15.child's mouth and do not stop the child making the jerking movement.

:17:16. > :17:18.Then call an ambulance. I think every parent should be trained in

:17:19. > :17:25.the first eight on how to manage a seizure. In antenatal classes they

:17:26. > :17:32.should cover this. -- first aid. If you know your child is not well,

:17:33. > :17:37.keep the temperature under control. Something to take note of.

:17:38. > :17:39.100 years ago, all of us would have lived

:17:40. > :17:43.The blacksmith was relied on to keep horses shod and cart wheels turning.

:17:44. > :17:46.The skill has all but died out, except for a handful of craftsmen.

:17:47. > :17:50.He's a former shipyard welder who retrained to help revive

:17:51. > :17:52.Our Agriculture and Environment Correspondent Conor Macauley,

:17:53. > :18:09.Owen Mort always liked metal. As a charter was intrigued by the

:18:10. > :18:14.twisting and swelling of his old farm gate at home in the valley.

:18:15. > :18:19.Modernity one over. He trained in mechanical engineering and worked as

:18:20. > :18:25.a shipyard welder. One night at the end of a long shift, a glance

:18:26. > :18:31.through the paper changed his life. I saw an advert in the paper. Would

:18:32. > :18:38.you like to be a blacksmith? I applied and got it. What is it about

:18:39. > :18:43.the job you love so much? It is great to wring some raw materials,

:18:44. > :18:50.ringing them to life. Creating unique things. -- bringing. It is

:18:51. > :18:56.more or less the same skill as those used hundreds of years ago. Then,

:18:57. > :19:02.nobody was far from a forge, a workplace celebrated in a poem by

:19:03. > :19:08.Seamus Heaney. Inside the short pitched ring, the unpredictable

:19:09. > :19:15.sparks and hiss when a new shoe toughens in water. The Heritage

:19:16. > :19:20.Lottery fund paid ?15,000 towards the cost of his retraining. Much of

:19:21. > :19:26.his work is now done on heritage projects like Carrickfergus Castle

:19:27. > :19:33.and an area where work is celebrated. His bushy beard is more

:19:34. > :19:41.than a throwback to times past. It is not just a fashion statement.

:19:42. > :19:46.When I forge pieces of metal and sparks will fly, it hits my face. If

:19:47. > :19:50.I was cleaning a shave and it would hit my face and stick me. With the

:19:51. > :19:57.beard it is singeing and falling. It is health and safety! Owen is one of

:19:58. > :20:01.a handful of blacksmiths qualify for this kind of heritage work. It is an

:20:02. > :20:06.agent skill kept safe in modern hands. -- ancient skill.

:20:07. > :20:11.Sport, and we've hosted Sports Personality,

:20:12. > :20:18.the Giro D'Italia and the World Police and Fire Games and now

:20:19. > :20:20.another major sporting event is coming to Northern Ireland,

:20:21. > :20:24.Yes, Belfast will host the Commonwealth Youth Games

:20:25. > :20:28.It will see around 1,000 athletes aged between 14 and 18 coming

:20:29. > :20:33.The decision to award the event to Northern Ireland

:20:34. > :20:35.was revealed this morning by the Commonwealth

:20:36. > :20:49.The presentation was second to none. They answered every question fully.

:20:50. > :20:54.They also added a little bit extra, to show what else they could give

:20:55. > :20:58.us. What they could do with the village. It was already built and

:20:59. > :21:04.you did not have to worry about infrastructure. One bed in one room

:21:05. > :21:11.with ensuite. That has been unheard of. Things like that, it has been

:21:12. > :21:14.great. That is what it is all about. A cultural and educational

:21:15. > :21:18.experience. As well as sport in the background. But keep it revolving

:21:19. > :21:23.and encourage people, this is what they can achieve, meet friends and

:21:24. > :21:26.work for the next games. Ultimately the aim should be possibly the big

:21:27. > :21:30.games depending on which country they come from. -- the Olympic

:21:31. > :21:31.Games. Ulster can go to the top

:21:32. > :21:35.of the Pro12 table with a win A bonus point victory in Italy

:21:36. > :21:39.against Treviso at the weekend has left Les Kiss' side well placed

:21:40. > :21:49.to challenge for the They came on the back of a 25 match

:21:50. > :21:53.losing streak but made it tougher for the visitors. Ulster had to wait

:21:54. > :22:00.until the second half before the floodgates opened. Ulster's second

:22:01. > :22:04.try, just at the end of the third quarter. A win assured and the hosts

:22:05. > :22:10.were deflated and Ulster pushed along. It is going to be another

:22:11. > :22:16.one. Yet again! Try number three for Ulster. That should put the tin hat

:22:45. > :22:57.After just one game, it is far too early to assess the step up to the

:23:01. > :23:05.of the challenge he faced in Division 1 and this was an abrupt

:23:06. > :23:11.reminder. Donegal dominated. Winning by 17 points. Ryan McGeever found
