:03:52. > :03:54.in as many weeks. BBC Newsline's Mark
:03:55. > :04:06.Simpson reports. At the scene of the latest tragedy,
:04:07. > :04:10.a plea for help. A call for action in Belfast, to try to stop
:04:11. > :04:15.homelessness. The messages we aren't doing enough, we can do better than
:04:16. > :04:19.this. There are endless empty buildings everywhere you look in
:04:20. > :04:23.Belfast, and if you look you up, you see them, and if you look down their
:04:24. > :04:27.people on streets. We need to work together and create a sustainable
:04:28. > :04:32.solution. The man who died last night was in his 40s. He was found
:04:33. > :04:36.dead in a city centre doorway, just after seven o'clock stop it was a
:04:37. > :04:41.cold and a lonely death. But the early indications are that his
:04:42. > :04:48.sudden death wasn't a direct result of the freezing savages. A person
:04:49. > :04:52.that has lost his life did have accommodation and we can't
:04:53. > :04:58.understand why he wasn't in it yesterday evening. Furthermore, my
:04:59. > :05:04.department has in recent years but in some ?35 million for
:05:05. > :05:08.homelessness. The money hasn't yet solved what is a complicated
:05:09. > :05:13.problem. In the past three weeks three people have died in the city
:05:14. > :05:17.centre. The first a man in his 30s on Donegal Place. Less than a week
:05:18. > :05:22.later, the body of another man was found this time in the toilet of a
:05:23. > :05:29.fast food restaurant. Then last night just a few metres away on
:05:30. > :05:32.Castle Place, another man died. At Belfast City Hall this afternoon
:05:33. > :05:35.groups involved in trying to help the homeless came together. We have
:05:36. > :05:40.identified and know that there is a population of about 35 individuals
:05:41. > :05:46.with really, really conflict needs in the city centre who have
:05:47. > :05:48.accommodation and I would like the public to know they have
:05:49. > :05:51.accommodation, but did their conflict needs, they are making
:05:52. > :05:56.decisions, often to stay on the street overnight. This afternoon I
:05:57. > :06:00.spoke to one of them. He didn't want to be shown on camera. Why wouldn't
:06:01. > :06:07.you go to a hostel? Because I got stabbed. You got stabbed? Yeah, in a
:06:08. > :06:14.hospital. There is a scar down there. That is a big scar. Three
:06:15. > :06:20.holes in my bowel, and part of my spleen. That happened inside a
:06:21. > :06:28.hostel? Now you know why white I won't go in. It's clear there is no
:06:29. > :06:32.easy solution. There is now a renewed effort to try to find one,
:06:33. > :06:37.though for some it's too late. What happened here last night caused huge
:06:38. > :06:41.distress and shock but has the tragedy change anything? On the
:06:42. > :06:44.evidence so far this evening, no. I've counted six people, all close
:06:45. > :06:50.to here, still sleeping on the streets. Mark Simpson, BBC Newsline,
:06:51. > :06:51.Belfast city centre. Earlier, I spoke to Liam Kinney
:06:52. > :06:53.from the Housing Executive. He said there are very complex
:06:54. > :07:04.reasons why people have been dying. There is a street outreach that we
:07:05. > :07:07.fund that goes out in the day and the night every day and night. They
:07:08. > :07:11.are approaching these individuals and trying to help them from the
:07:12. > :07:16.streets into a place of help and safety. Unfortunately for their own
:07:17. > :07:20.individual reasons, some of them prefer to stay on the streets rather
:07:21. > :07:24.than engage with that, so the support is there. The issue is how
:07:25. > :07:28.do you get these individuals to engage with that support. I
:07:29. > :07:33.appreciate that is a very difficult question to answer, but we can't let
:07:34. > :07:37.people die? Absolutely not, and as I said we are committed across all
:07:38. > :07:43.agencies to ensure that doesn't happen. And we will do our utmost.
:07:44. > :07:47.We are doing an immediate review of the services we provide across all
:07:48. > :07:51.the sectors, said housing, health, voluntary sector, with the police
:07:52. > :07:53.and the council and others. That has been taken forward as a matter of
:07:54. > :07:54.urgency. More than 120 women who had
:07:55. > :07:56.suspected breast cancer and who weren't seen by a consultant
:07:57. > :08:00.within the 14 day target were later A cancer charity has described
:08:01. > :08:04.the news as very worrying. A survivor of the disease has told
:08:05. > :08:07.the BBC that targets Our Health Correspondent
:08:08. > :08:26.Marie-Louise Connolly has more. Running her own business. Nina's
:08:27. > :08:29.life is often stressful, but she says it's nothing in comparison to
:08:30. > :08:34.the stress she enjoyed while waiting to see a cancer specialist. You
:08:35. > :08:39.can't think clearly, you lose your appetite. Eventually, I had lost my
:08:40. > :08:46.appetite completely and I lost a lot of weight. And I had to eventually,
:08:47. > :08:49.I couldn't wait any longer, and I went privately. Breast cancer is
:08:50. > :08:53.back in the headlines after it emerged that over 100 women last
:08:54. > :08:57.year with suspected breast cancer weren't seen by a consultant within
:08:58. > :09:01.the 14 day target and they later developed cancer. The bigger picture
:09:02. > :09:06.shows the huge numbers passing through the cancer centre, one
:09:07. > :09:18.specialist told me that one late diagnosis is to many. According to
:09:19. > :09:26.the official figures, last year 2755 women who had an urgent referral of
:09:27. > :09:34.those the vast majority didn't have cancer. 121 women who were not seen
:09:35. > :09:38.within the 14 day target were later diagnosed with cancer. It's not good
:09:39. > :09:42.enough for the Department and the Minister to be saying demand was too
:09:43. > :09:47.high, and that they don't have enough staff. We know whether demand
:09:48. > :09:50.is going to be, we are able to predict that, and also far a star is
:09:51. > :09:56.concerned, that is just down to money. They simply won't spend the
:09:57. > :10:00.cash. Earlier this month the BBC revealed that cancer rates are due
:10:01. > :10:05.to increased by 65% in the next 20 years. A local charity says
:10:06. > :10:12.decision-makers must stop preparing. We really feel the need to be a
:10:13. > :10:17.strategic overview, a cancer plan, that is properly measured, and the
:10:18. > :10:22.whole service has looked at, so that we are prepared for the future. The
:10:23. > :10:25.Belfast Health Trust said it is to avoid a further consultant breast
:10:26. > :10:30.cancer surgeon to cope with the demand. -- a point.
:10:31. > :10:34.The Former Sinn Fein MP Michelle Gildernew has spoken
:10:35. > :10:38.publicly for the first time about the controversy surrounding

:10:53. > :10:55.Then last weekend she was chosen again as Sinn Fein's
:10:56. > :11:00.She has been speaking to our political correspondent
:11:01. > :11:04.Stephen Walker for tonight's edition of The View,
:11:05. > :11:10.I was disappointed, of course, I think people were very shocked. But
:11:11. > :11:15.you know that's the nature of democratic decisions, within the
:11:16. > :11:18.party, and I think a lot of people were surprised that I lost out and I
:11:19. > :11:22.think people feel that the solution that the could have come up with is
:11:23. > :11:26.a very pragmatic and common sense one, so I think we will proceed on
:11:27. > :11:30.that basis. And was everything about the selection process aboveboard?
:11:31. > :11:34.Things were running actively. I think there was a disparity in the
:11:35. > :11:39.figures, I think somebody had accidentally got two ballot papers
:11:40. > :11:43.or something, but I can't fault at all, or in the convention, or
:11:44. > :11:46.anybody who was involved without. And you can see more
:11:47. > :11:58.on that story on The View There will be some frost around and
:11:59. > :12:04.I but it won't be as cold as recent nights. The travel and at times but
:12:05. > :12:06.overall there will be a lot of cloud around, temperature is close to
:12:07. > :12:10.freezing but in some places won't fall below. Mostly dry bar one or
:12:11. > :12:13.two close all showers, but we do have some showers coming in tomorrow
:12:14. > :12:16.over the south and west. A tomorrow different fields of the day,
:12:17. > :12:20.noticeably more breeze, blowing in from the east so it will feel cold
:12:21. > :12:24.at times especially towards the east coast. Plenty of cloud around as
:12:25. > :12:27.well, maybe some preflight browse through the morning, and some
:12:28. > :12:30.showery rain edging up from the Republic of Ireland which will
:12:31. > :12:34.mainly affect Southern and western counties, with maybe a hint of sleet
:12:35. > :12:37.with it as well. A area of low pressure over the Republic of
:12:38. > :12:42.Ireland, most of the unsettled weather is there. Some showery wait
:12:43. > :12:47.for parts of rain and south-west England, and I stay with some
:12:48. > :12:50.sunshine around although on the chilly side. It will be cold here
:12:51. > :12:54.and because of the breeze, more cloud than the risk of some showers
:12:55. > :12:56.here and there, it's not going to feel just as pleasant as recent
:12:57. > :13:01.days, but this unsettled weather is moving away, so on Saturday most
:13:02. > :13:05.places will become dry again, there should be a bit of brightness around
:13:06. > :13:09.as well. Temp just still only around five or 6 degrees, but the wind
:13:10. > :13:13.eases away so Saturday night could see fairly sharp frosts, but at
:13:14. > :13:17.least that will bring a return to sunnier skies on Sunday, and then it
:13:18. > :13:18.is all change on next week, as Atlantic Systems return, bringing
