David Cameron's efforts in Brussels? Join me on BBC Two. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The First Minister says she will make every effort to soften | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
the blow of 1,000 job losses announced at Bombardier. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
It's emerged the company is also suspending recruitment | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Meanwhile, a company which is one of Bombardier's biggest local parts | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
suppliers says it's saddened by the cuts. | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
The firm though is confident about its own future, | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
Our business correspondent Julian O'Neill reports. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
A section of the new Bombardier C Series aircraft being made in county | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
This is precision engineering, it is one of their main local parts | :00:39. | :00:47. | |
suppliers and here any setback at the Canadian aerospace giant, | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
especially one which costs jobs, is followed closely. | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
It's a major thing losing those jobs. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
It's not going to be easy to get employment. | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
As a company we're quite confident we will still be going forward. | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
Bombardier help support thousands of jobs in its Northern Ireland | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
Dozens of small to medium-sized firms are watching developments | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
and now more than ever chasing new customers. | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
There is hope on the horizon that those companies that have grown | :01:23. | :01:31. | |
and built from support from Bombardier can win other | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
That is exactly what they have been doing here. | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
It's branched out using its expertise for Bombardier to win | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
business with Airbus whose plane production | :01:45. | :01:45. | |
Bombardier have the new C Series but it's slow to get off the ground. | :01:46. | :01:59. | |
The Airbus has the new products that are growing exponentially | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
year-on-year and for any manufacturing company wishing | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
to grow their business they have to be on the programmes. | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
Across the local aerospace sector, there is on average a 25% | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
Diversifying the order book is seen as being key going forward. | :02:13. | :02:21. | |
Spreading its wings beyond Bombardier has helped this | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
Very soon, it will double the size of its production base, | :02:24. | :02:32. | |
moving into what was once an old shirt factory next door. | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
Individual workers at Bombardier expect to learn about their future | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
Understandably they have been reluctant to speak in advance | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
of further details about redundancy deals. | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
However this afternoon, one worker spoke to us | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
on the condition we wouldn't identify him. | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
He explained how he was facing up to an uncertain future. | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
car payments, the money issue comes through the mind. | :03:02. | :03:22. | |
Bombardier is a good employer that pays good wages so how do you go | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
from earning a good wage to earning near nothing? | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
I'm a second generation Bombardier worker. | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
My father worked there and my uncles are employed there. | :03:35. | :03:52. | |
Even going in as an apprentice and you could rise all the way up | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
You can go as high as you want and travel the world. | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
That's why I joined it and what I aspire to do. | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
With my skill set, I believe I'll be comfortable, | :04:03. | :04:12. | |
confident, of doing that move because I'm confident | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
in my own skills and their development. | :04:15. | :04:15. | |
It could be halfway across the world. | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
A man's been shot in the leg in a paramilitary-style shooting | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
It happened at around 7.45pm in Ardmonagh Parade. | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
The victim, who's in his 20s, has been taken to hospital. | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
An Orange hall in County Tyrone has been attacked for the second time | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
Strawletterdallon Orange hall, near Newtownstewart had windows | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
and doors damaged on Wednesday night and the Orange Order says more | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
windows were smashed this evening around seven o'clock. | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
The same hall was damaged five years ago in an arson attack. | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
One man has been arrested for causing an obstruction | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
during a standoff between police and environmentalists at a forest | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
near Carrickfergus - where an oil company plans | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
A group of protestors blocked access to Woodburn Forest. | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
Our environment correspondent Conor Macauley has more. | :05:07. | :05:18. | |
Contractors turned up this morning to begin preparatory work | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
on the site, they found their way blocked by protesters opposed | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
A woman who parked car in the middle of the road was removed by police. | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
Look, lads, we're not doing anything wrong. | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
That being on the back of the low loader, it doesn't matter. | :05:33. | :05:42. | |
That being cut down, that is a disgrace. | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
This project has proved controversial because campaigners | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
say it could threaten the water supply for thousands of homes | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
The site is in the catchment of a reservoir. | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
The land has been leased to the oil company by Northern Ireland Water. | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
They say the project does not pose a risk. | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
We're been here for 24 hours and we will stay here as long | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
A second vehicle was blocking access to the site and it is being moved | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
after an intervention by the police but as you can see this trailer | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
is parked in the access route and it will be some time yet before anyone | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
One man was arrested as part of a police operation. | :06:24. | :06:36. | |
Later a senior police officer suspended a right-of-way | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
through the forest as people protested his power to do | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
so and this afternoon the man arrested returned to the protest | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
where supporters had a whip round to reimburse him for the ?85 | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
fine he had been hit with. This evening, the trailer which had | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
been blocking the access all day was finally moved. | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
Concrete bollards were put in place by contractors. | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
There is a suggestion protesters could seek an injunction to stop | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
further work, a matter for the courts to decide. | :07:11. | :07:20. | |
The inquest into the death of Arlene Arkinson has been told how | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
social services flagged up a possible relationship | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
between her and the man widely suspected of killing | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
The 15-year-old disappeared in 1994 after a night out in Donegal. | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
Arlene Arkinson was last seen with the convicted child killer Robert | :07:33. | :07:48. | |
Howard who was acquitted of her murder in 2005. Her body was no | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
longer -- her body was never found. Robert Howard died in prison last | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
year. Information was recorded in a hand | :08:01. | :08:09. | |
written note to the constable. He said it would not be fair to comment | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
what sort of relationship that was. The court was also told of the | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
troubled background of Arlene Arkinson. There was also a mention | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
of her relationship with a second older man. The initial investigation | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
followed two lines of inquiry, that Arlene Arkinson had travelled to | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
Birmingham for an abortion or that Robert Howard was involved in her | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
disobedience. At that stage it was not a criminal investigation. The | :08:44. | :08:44. | |
inquest has been adjourned. Uefa has agreed to give more tickets | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
to Northern Ireland supporters following complaints | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
about allocations. More than 500 have been made | :08:53. | :08:53. | |
available for the match against Ukraine - and almost 100 | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
for the game against Germany. The showdown with the world | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
champions is Northern Ireland's And one local man is guaranteed | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
to be on the pitch. Jonathan Calderwood from just | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
outside Ballymena is not a player or part of the Northern Ireland back | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
room team - but he will play a key role when it comes to match day, | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
Nial Foster has been to meet him. Paris, it's a long way | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
from County Antrim but one man from the area has made a name | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
for himself in the capital. Jonathan Calderwood, | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
star of a French television advert is the head groundsman | :09:28. | :09:35. | |
at the Parc des Princes. When I went to the school | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
in Ballymena, in your last year at school you had to do | :09:38. | :09:52. | |
a week's work experience. Being a football fanatic | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
and a big Glentoran fan, it was only right I should go | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
to Glentoran and see if they would take me | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
as a groundsman. From there, next up was | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
the old Wembley Stadium in London. Then to Aston Villa where he won | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
the Premier League Groundsman He met one of the game's | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
most respected managers, The Frenchman recommended him | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
to his current employers. The Premier League pitches | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
in England are known to be the best in the world so normally if you have | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
one of the best pitches in England you have the best pitch | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
in the world. Gerard said straightaway, | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
I think the best groundsman in the world is Jonathan Calderwood | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
so with those recommendations, Jonathan's expertise and pitch | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
management has helped craft one of the best playing surfaces | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
in Europe and as luck would have it at Euro 2016 | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
in June Northern Ireland will play Germany in their final group game | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
in Paris When the draw was taking place, I | :10:50. | :11:05. | |
had been talking about it for weeks, I said it was not going to happen. | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
When it did happen it was unbelievable. | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
to play Germany in Paris on my pitch, it doesn't get | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
If Northern Ireland can topple the world champions you know | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
who to thank for the pristine playing surface. | :11:24. | :11:31. | |
David Cameron is tonight in Brussels negotiating on EU reform, | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
and Brexit and its possible implications for Ireland, | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
north and south, will be discussed on Good Morning Ulster tomorrow. | :11:38. | :11:47. | |
Here is the weather forecast. After a call today it is turning cold | :11:48. | :11:56. | |
again into the first part of tonight. Becoming frosty, some mist | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
and fork patches. Becoming I see in places given the wet surfaces. Later | :12:04. | :12:16. | |
in the night the ice may start to lift. Temperatures creeping up as | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
cloud increases. Spells of rain. That is setting the scene for | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
tomorrow. Wetter for a time. Quite blustery in places particularly | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
around the course. Wet and windy weather extending across the | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
Republic of Ireland into Wales, Western England, Scotland, turning | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
to snow over the mountains. Not reaching the south-east until later | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
in the day. Temperatures tomorrow, that little bit higher. The rain | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
will start to shift away in the afternoon. A drier end to the day. | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
Despite those higher temperatures to Belize still making it feel quite | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
cool. A weather front over the top of us at the weekend. It is likely | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
to bring spells of rain and particularly on Saturday. After a | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
damp start that rain clears away south on Sunday and colder weather | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
follows. That is all for now. We are back 25 | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
six tomorrow. | :13:28. | :13:32. |
