The First Minister Arlene Foster has spoken to the Chief Constable | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
after police officers used CS spray at a Junior Orange Order parade | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
Disturbance broke out during the parade on the Ormeau Road | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
Two police officers received minor injuries and a police | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
California's District Attorney, who was investigating the collapse | :00:29. | :00:37. | |
of a balcony that killed six young people, | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
has said there is insufficient evidence to bring any criminal | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
charges in connection with the incident. | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
The families of the bereaved and injured are to continue | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
with civil legal proceedings following last summer's tragedy. | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
It was meant to to be the happiest of occasions, | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
a 21st birthday party, but which ended horrifically. | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
Around 40 young people, many on a working holiday | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
from Ireland, were enjoying themselves here at the Library | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
Without warning the balcony collpased, claiming the lives | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
of five Irish students and an Irish American relative. | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
Another seven young people were seriously injured. | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
After a nine-month investigation, the California District Attorney's | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
office now says it will not be bringing any criminal proceedings | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
as there was "insufficient evidence" to bring manslaughter charges | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
against any one individual or company. | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
The District Attorney's office said it was not satisfied that it had | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
enough evidence to prove any charges beyond a reasonable doubt. | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
Its chief investigator though says what it found about the balcony | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
collapse could now be used in civil proceedings being taken | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
Is just unfortunate in this tragedy, our hearts go out to those who have | :01:58. | :02:12. | |
suffered so much. In looking at the building of this apartment, that | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
there was just many different parties involved that contributed. | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
To this tragedy. There was just not enough evidence to go after one | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
individual or one company. The investigation concluded | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
the balcony collapsed because "water had been trapped in the deck" | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
during the construction phase which had led to "eventual | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
and extensive dry rot damage". The civil legal proceedings | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
by the families of those killed and injured are continuing | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
against 30 companies connected with the construction | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
and maintainance of the building. Their lawyers said the District | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
Attornery's decision was not unexpected given the high | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
burden of prooof required, but confirmed that the DA's | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
investigation would benefit A County Armagh schoolboy has | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
appeared in court charged over admitted putting a bin | :02:58. | :03:10. | |
on the railway line to entice police Two police officers were injured | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
in what was described That trouble meant more disruption | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
to rail services with the line The line between Portadown | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
and Lisburn was closed twice The level crossing | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
on Lake Street in Lurgan. It's right next to the nationalist | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
Kilwilkie estate. Yesterday a van was set on fire | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
here in the early hours, and in the afternoon bins | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
were pulled onto the line. It is the main line between Belfast | :03:46. | :03:56. | |
and Dublin but is becoming a familiar story to hear that it is | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
closed. People in Lurgan are used to having to be patient while the | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
trains go through the centre of the town. But for those commuters | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
regularly disrupted, there is real frustration. Having to climb on a | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
bus before you go to work, it is a lot of hassle. I just want peace and | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
I wish people would look to peace and stop this carry on because it is | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
not going to achieve nothing. When you leaves around this area, you get | :04:29. | :04:37. | |
used to it and you need to have a plan B ready. | :04:38. | :04:38. | |
There have been proposals in the past to avoiding the level | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
crossing altogether, either by diverting the line | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
It's a very expensive proposal. If you were to look at moving the | :04:45. | :04:56. | |
railway line, that would be very expensive. It would have to be | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
realigned with quite as smooth curve. There is a significant cost | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
inland and a multi-million pounds project to move the line. Is there | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
anything else that could be done? You could close the road and that | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
would cause more disruption to the people of Logan and that is not | :05:19. | :05:19. | |
really an option. -- Lurgan. Translink say that safety | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
is their top priority, and they work closely with PSNI | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
when security alerts occur. They told us they "maintain services | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
for as long as it remains Alternative bus substitution | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
services are put in place." But it's passengers who have | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
to put up with long waits, And any way round this level | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
crossing seems too difficult A senior member of the Orange Order | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
says it's sad that some republicans sought to link the commemorations | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
of the Easter Rising to the present The Reverend Mervyn Gibson | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
who is Chaplain of Belfast County Hundreds took part in today's | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
Junior Orange parade thorough members of the Orange Order | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
for their Easter demonstration. This year the focus fell | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
on the Battle of the Somme One to mark the death | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
of the youngest soldier killed We always look forward to Teesside | :06:16. | :06:30. | |
Tuesday outwith the juniors. A hundred years ago today, the | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
youngest member of the division was killed. A Samuel Williams. He died | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
in France and we will be laying everything his memory and in the | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
memory of others who died. Mervyn Gibson also reflected | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
on the numerous Loyal order parades and 1916 Rising commemorations that | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
took place over the Easter period. I think the apprentice boys had a | :06:48. | :06:59. | |
great day yesterday. We are looking forward to another great day today. | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
There were some who wanted to take us back but we hope the police will | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
be able to deal with those matters. We saw the official parade in Dublin | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
for the rebellion that passed on well and people enjoyed themselves. | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
Unfortunately, they're always people who want to link it with the present | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
and past terrorist campaign and that is sad for us all. | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
The PSNI says it's been gathering evidence around suspected breaches | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
of Parades Commission determinations in Coalisland and un-notified | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
republican Easter parades in Ardoyne and Lurgan. | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
The police say they will be presenting reports | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
to the Public Prosecution Service with a view to | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
A 69-year-old man who died in a road crash in Sligo | :07:36. | :07:44. | |
The accident happened yesterday when his car hit a ditch | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
A new government scheme called Rent to Own is aimed at helping people | :07:49. | :07:58. | |
on low incomes to get onto the property ladder. | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
Instead of paying rent with no prospect of a return, | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
tenants receive 25% of their money back after three years to use | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
as a down payment to purchase a property. | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
Here's our South West reporter Julian Fowler. | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
The first steps towards owning a home can be a challenge. The social | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
develop Minister Lord Morrow used to be an estate agent so he knows how | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
difficult it can be. Buying your own home, it is the biggest decision | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
will you will ever make and many of us have done that with some | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
trepidation. We have all been there and therefore I think this will be | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
an incentive to young married couples in particular for them to | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
get on the home ownership ladder. This new development is one where | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
tenants can become homeowners. After paying rent for three years, they | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
received 25% back to use as a deposit on a mortgage. There is a | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
shortage of mortgages and the availability of finance ride across | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
Northern Ireland services initiative for us to get down to that situation | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
and help people to aspire and the Filbert dreams of getting a home of | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
their own. That could be through code ownership or purchase of the | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
mortgage. They are standing 100 new homes across Northern Ireland at a | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
cost of 12 and a half million pounds. It is hoped this news team | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
will help those who are currently renting take their first step | :09:33. | :09:33. | |
towards owning their own home. On tomorrow's BBC Newsline we look | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
again at the property market One in five homes is now owned | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
by a private landlord. In the main that's because more | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
families are living in a rented There are new charges and new rules | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
for landlords and we look to see if that's good news or bad news | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
for anyone paying the rent. That's tomorrow evening | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
here on BBC Newsline. The Republic of Ireland drew 2-2 | :10:00. | :10:05. | |

fell to Ross Gaynor, who hit low into the net. | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
And in the Ballinmallard Crusaders game, the visitors' captain | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
Colin Coates grabbed the winner in the fourth minute of injury time. | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
Let's get the latest forecast details with Barra Best. | :11:45. | :11:59. | |
Showers this evening. It will turn quite chilly across the board. | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
Temperatures will fall close to freezing, perhaps just below in | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
countryside areas stop a late frost tomorrow morning. Tomorrow will be | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
much like today. Some good sunny spells to enjoy, watch out for some | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
scattered showers. There will be a fair amount of dry weather here now. | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
A lot of cloud that it won't take long before that cloud breaks up and | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
let the sunshine come through. Right across Britain and Ireland, not a | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
bad day apart from the isolated shower. Quite dry with some cloud | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
and sunny gaps everywhere. Temperatures will about normal for | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
the time of year. The odd shower will continue on an off but many of | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
us will have a fine and to the day with some evening sunshine. Not | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
particularly one first, temperatures ten or 11 sows ears at best was part | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
of the south and east. Thursday, largely dry, there will be a risk of | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
the odd isolated shower to watch out for the temperatures, ten or 11 | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
Celsius at best. Plenty of dry weather tomorrow and Thursday but | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
come the end of the week, it is going to change. We have this area | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
of low pressure which is going to move in from the Atlantic. It is | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
doing to bring some stronger winds and is going to bring a fair amount | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
of rain break through the day on Friday. Some of that phrase will | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
return again on Saturday so before then, enjoy any sunny gaps you can | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
get. Good night. Our next BBC Newsline is at 6.25am | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
