We start with some news just in and a man has died in a house | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
It's thought it happened around six o'clock this evening | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
Nearly 100,000 low paid local workers got a pay rise today | :00:14. | :00:21. | |
with the introduction of a National Living Wage. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
The new rate of ?7.20 an hour is for workers aged 25 | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
and above and represents a 50p uplift on the minimum wage. | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
Its impact will be felt most in the hospitality, | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
Our business correspondent Julian O'Neill has more. | :00:37. | :00:49. | |
The pace week there will be felt in this small bakery in Newtownards and | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
in many, many other businesses. Good news on the shop floor but there is | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
concern, and this company isn't alone, in wondering how it will | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
afford in what is a compulsory rise. We may have to shorten the working | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
day. And we may need to lose staff, I hope it doesn't come to that. It | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
is very difficult. Where do we get the extra money from? This woman is | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
a clean and one of tens of thousands of workers benefiting from a hump in | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
the wage. She has two jobs and says this increase doesn't make up for | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
years of poor pay. You're already playing catch up anyway so it isn't | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
going to make a big impact. Somebody working 30 hours and getting ?15 a | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
week, what does ?15 get you? Not much. Look at the crisis of stuff in | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
the shops. The local hospitality sector will see the greatest impact. | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
One in every three employees in this labour force will move to the new | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
rate. This Belfast hotel is part of a larger operation with 600 staff on | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
its payroll. Living costs are going up so it's only appropriate that our | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
staff are rewarded appropriately. But it will have an impact on our | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
business and on our bottom line, and the financial impact for us is | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
?300,000 a year. The union organised event demanding an even higher | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
hourly wage was barely noticeable in Belfast at lunchtime. Pay levels | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
here are among the lowest in the UK and today will not alter that. Even | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
with this boost to so many wage packets. | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
A Dungannon woman serving time in jail in Peru for drug smuggling | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
Michaella McCollum was arrested with another woman at Lima airport | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
A court will now decide when she's allowed to return home. | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
What's your name? Michaella McCollum. What's your nationality? | :02:55. | :03:13. | |
Irish. Michaella McCollum was arrested trying to leave Peru with | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
?1.5 million worth of cocaine. The two women had said they were coerced | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
but later pleaded guilty to drug smuggling. In December 20 13th they | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
were jailed for six years and eight months. Yesterday evening, it of | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
over two years into their sentence, Michaella McCollum was released from | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
prison. It followed a successful application for parole. Her | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
solicitor had revisited described conditions in the jail as horrendous | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
and attempts were being made to transfer her to a prison in Northern | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
Ireland. This won't be necessary. One man with her in court this week | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
says she will be doing community work with his church and others | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
under the terms of her parole. She handled herself extremely well. She | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
wants her life to be different. And she gave evidence before the judge | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
of the seriousness of her intent. She did her time. It isn't a walk in | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
the park here. Michaella McCollum has been spending time with family. | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
It'll still be up to the Parisian court to decide when she might | :04:20. | :04:20. | |
return home. Those responsible for putting | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
the personal details of a serving police officer on social | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
media have been described The officer in question was on duty | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
during a junior Orange parade in South Belfast on Tuesday | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
where CS spray was used. Today, a 12-year-old boy affected | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
by the spray described Sitting beside his dad, this is the | :04:37. | :04:50. | |
child who says he was told he was lucky not to have lost his eyesight | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
after an incident involving the use of CS spray. He was appearing at a | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
news conference organised by the Progressive Unionist party. The 12 | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
old was with his grandad taking part in the junior Orange parade. | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
Scuffles broke out join the return leg of the parade, involving some | :05:11. | :05:19. | |
police officer s and bandsmen. It started stinging and burning. It | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
really hurt. I had to go to the opticians the next day. What are | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
they say? They said I was lucky not to lose my side. The PSNI so they | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
don't accept their officer made a mistake. We really regret to young | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
people have been caught up with the effects of CS spray. That would | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
never, ever have been our intention but a set of circumstances unfolded, | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
officers believe they needed to defend themselves and CS spray was | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
used. It is now for the police ombudsman to determine whether this | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
was appropriate. The 12-year-old's dad would like him to continue with | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
the band despite what happened. Obviously, I am concerned. It's | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
never happened before. I've been in the band 23 years, and nothing has | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
ever happened like that before. As I say, I wouldn't want it to happen to | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
anyone else, no matter what faith. As for the policeman in the centre | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
of this, he has had to move house after his photograph, name and | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
address appeared on social media. I call on all people who identified | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
this policeman to take action on to them. That was irresponsible in the | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
extreme. It is unforgivable. On the day 49 new PSNI recruits graduated, | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
the police say it is their duty to protect everyone. Not everyone | :06:52. | :06:52. | |
agrees. In rugby, Ulster have beaten | :06:53. | :06:53. | |
Connaught 18-10 in the Pro-12 Ulster did enough against their | :06:54. | :07:05. | |
interprovincial rivals thanks to some experienced campaigners. | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
Ireland captain Best was back to lead the team and after two early | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
penalties, Best went over for the try. More of the same for the home | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
side after the break. This was the second try, Gilroy. Connacht refuse | :07:25. | :07:33. | |
to lie down and Blade touchdown as the visitors came back to within | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
eight points. The men in white held on for a significant win. Ulster | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
have three games remaining in the push for the play-offs, which starts | :07:43. | :07:43. | |
in two weeks' time away to Zebre. Glenavon are through to | :07:44. | :07:52. | |
the Irish Cup final after beating Crusaders in a high scoring | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
semifinal at Windsor Park tonight. Matthew Snoddy fired Crusaders | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
in front after 24 minutes. But Kevin Braniff had Glenavon back | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
on level terms after three minutes Straight from the kick-off Snoddy | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
made it 2-1 for the Crues, Braniff equalised for Glenavon | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
just before the break. And it was the man of the match | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
Kevin Braniff who scored the decisive goal and his fourth | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
of the night to make it four, Glenavon will meet either Linfield | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
or Lurgan Celtic in the final next And now with the weekend weather | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
forecast here's Geoff Maskell. It has been a different day. The | :08:25. | :08:39. | |
rain that moved in last night stayed with us through the daylight hours. | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
It is gradually sinking away overnight tonight, but it isn't | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
saying goodbye. It'll be back. Behind the rain, we have some | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
clearer, cooler air, meaning the temperatures will drop away tonight. | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
In some rural spots, temperatures down to two or three degrees, which | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
means there is the chance of mist book or fog. We stayed dry | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
overnight, which won't last because as the front makes its return, it | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
pushes up slowly north and west through the day so while we start | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
off dry, it won't take long for the skies to count over and for the rain | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
to return. You get a very good sense of what's going on in this wider | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
view. For London and the south-east, top temperatures are at 15. To the | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
north of that front, much cooler, which is where we find ourselves. | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
It'll be a cooler day on Saturday and with the rain spreading through | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
all parts, it would be pleasant. We won't see a sunset like that on | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
Saturday night. The good news is things improve on Sunday. A few | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
showers around early on, then it is going to be drier, bright and warm | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
as we go through the second half of the weekend with temperatures up to | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
11 or 12. So, pretty respectable for the time of year. Things continue to | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
improve as we head into the start of next week. | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
