Tonight's headlines: A court hears how a mother killed her baby son | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
while suffering from psychotic episodes. | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
A shocking rise in the numbers going to food banks - | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
and the shock of the people who find they need to use them. | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
The first time I walked into a food bank, I'd didn't know where to hang | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
my head. Could jobs at Bombardier be | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
secured by a new deal A man accused of endangering an | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
transatlantic aircraft walks free. We hear from the parents who say | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
mixed martial arts is as safe On a bad day for Irish boxing, | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
Olympic champion Katie Taylor is one of three beaten in Turkey | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
as the road to Rio gets rocky. Colder but brighter this weekend | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
with a few frosty nights to come. I'll have the full forecast later | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
in the programme. Belfast Crown Court has heard | :01:07. | :01:14. | |
distressing details of how a mother killed her five month old son | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
while she was suffering The 32-year-old had originally been | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
charged with murder but a prosecuting lawyer said | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
all medical and legal experts agreed that the appropriate charge | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
was one of infanticide. The woman, who can't be named, wept | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
through most of the proceedings. The court was told she suffered | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
post-natal depression after the birth of her first child | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
and how she had become ill again three months after the birth | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
of her second child. Psychiatrists for both | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
the prosecution and defence say she The mother of two made a 999 call | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
on the morning of 9 April 2014. When police and paramedics arrived | :01:54. | :02:03. | |
at the flat they found her Paramedics managed to get the baby | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
to hospital When police spoke to the woman | :02:11. | :02:21. | |
she said, "I killed my baby. She was examined by a doctor | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
and admitted The defence said the woman is aware | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
of the gravity of what she had done and is living with guilt | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
and self blame. She will be sentenced | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
later this month. The use of food banks | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
in Northern Ireland The Trussell Trust charity says it | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
provided more than 25,000 emergency The Trussell Trust says demand | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
for emergency everyday food items like bread and cereal is up | :02:59. | :03:11. | |
by nearly 50% on last year. Of the 25,000 food packages | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
distributed by the Trussell Trust across Northern Ireland, | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
2230 of those are from here in Newtownards - | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
and half of those go to children. 99% of these donations are made | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
by members of the public. But why do people find themselves | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
turning to food banks? The Trust says low income remains | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
the single biggest reason, followed by benefit | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
delays and unemployment. But as for a typical | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
user, the charity says Especially with people losing jobs | :03:45. | :03:58. | |
with local businesses closing down and where people have been working | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
their whole lives and are coming in and that is what they say, I never | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
thought I would see myself in a food bank, so professional people working | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
full-time and then bank, so professional people working | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
they have nowhere else to go. That was the case for IT | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
professional Alwyn Van Niekerk, who used a food bank for six | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
months when he first moved to Northern Ireland | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
from South Africa after it took him and his wife longer | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
to find work than expected. The first time I walked into a food | :04:22. | :04:30. | |
bank, I didn't know where to hang my head. I was ashamed, I really didn't | :04:31. | :04:40. | |
know what to do with myself. And the lady at the food bank actually took | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
my hand, looked me in the eye and said, you've got nothing to worry | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
about, we're here to help. From the really desperate destitute right up | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
to people walking in with suits that were walking the streets looking for | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
work, anybody can walk into a food bank and say, you know what, I need | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
help. In order to meet demand, | :05:05. | :05:05. | |
the Trussell Trust has recently opened three new food banks in areas | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
of need - two in West Belfast They say that in order to end food | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
poverty in Northern Ireland, charities, politicians, | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
businesses and the public There's growing speculation that | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
Bombardier is close to finalising a deal to sell more than 100 | :05:18. | :05:26. | |
C Series planes to Delta Airlines. The wings for the plane are made | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
at the Canadian firm's Our Economics and Business Editor | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
John Campbell is here. Where is this speculation coming | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
from? This comes from two reports, both in | :05:38. | :05:48. | |
the Wall Street Journal and the Bloomberg news agency, so credible | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
organisations who employ aviation specialists and they say there is a | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
potential order on the table for Bombardier to sell 75 C Series jets | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
to Delta airlines with an option for a further 50, so a potential order | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
of 125, which would be by far the biggest order for this project. | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
Bombardier say they do not talk about potential customers but we | :06:13. | :06:22. | |
know Delta are into market to buy planes to replace old jets operating | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
on internal routes in the US so they are shopping for planes like the C | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
Series but have not finalised who they will buy them from, because | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
Boeing and Airbus would also like this order. | :06:37. | :06:37. | |
How important would this be for Bombardier? | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
The C Series has been bhaji's attempt to go head to head with Owen | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
and her boss that they have struggled to find buyers, it has | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
gone way over budget and time and that has cost jobs in Belfast, so if | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
they can land an order with an organisation like Delta, that could | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
turn their fortunes around. It wouldn't solve all their problems | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
but it would be a step in the right direction. Thank you, John. | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
The Ulster Bank is making job cuts in its Northern | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
Around 50 posts will go through voluntary redundancy. | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
The bank says it is part of efforts to build a sustainable business. | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
It is also ending Saturday morning opening at 11 branches | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
An American man who was forced to stay here for ten months awaiting | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
trial has been cleared of endangering an aircraft. | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
The 42-year-old is now considering taking legal action | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
against United Airlines after he was accused of behaving | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
so aggressively on board that the pilot had no choice | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
The United flight from Rome to Chicago was grounded in Belfast. | :07:40. | :07:54. | |
274 passenges and crew unexpectedly touched down here on the runway | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
at Belfast International Airport after an argument flared on board | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
Jeremiah Mathis Thede, seen here at an earlier hearing, | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
boarded the delayed United Airlines flight in Rome | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
He had just enjoyed a long holiday in | :08:09. | :08:18. | |
to his last few dollars and had eaten only an apple | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
Once on board, he immediately and repeatedly asked for snacks | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
and although he was given one portion, was refused a second. | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
Cabin crew claimed he then alarmed passengers with his erratic | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
behaviour and a relief pilot said as they could not calm | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
or de-escalate the situation, they had no choice but to divert. | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
A solicitor for the defendant said the decision to divert to Belfast | :08:42. | :08:50. | |
International Airport was based on inaccurate information from the | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
cabin crew and there was no credible evidence he acted in any way to | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
endanger the airport. His barrister Aaron Thompson said the whole place | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
was a bit crackers. Campaigners for same sex marriage | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
have called on candidates in the Assembly election to back | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
them and introduce legislation. The campaign called Love Equality | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
is supported by lesbian and gay groups, trade unions, student | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
activists and Amnesty International. Here's our political correspondent | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
Stephen Walker. Sally Bridge and her partner have | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
been a couple for 15 years and say they should have the same rights | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
as other people. I really want to get married, to | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
have the opportunity to get married. I can't say to people, I am married, | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
I have to say I am civilised! This new campaign is called | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
Love Equality and it is backed by Amnesty International, | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
trade unionists, student activists They all want to lobby election | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
candidates in the weeks ahead. Last year MLAs voted in favour | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
of equal marriage for the first time but the motion was blocked | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
because the DUP used Campaigners say that is not the end | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
of the issue and they will bring it We believe in the next mandate, | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
equal marriage will be That is the preferred method for its | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
introduction. Opponents say a law | :10:14. | :10:22. | |
change is unnecessary. Marriage predates the church | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
and state and we believe there is a common view on holding | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
to a definition of marriage between a man and a woman that | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
flourishes for everyone. Campaigners say they are hopeful | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
that a law change will happen Still to come on the programme, | :10:34. | :10:52. | |
remembering the victims who died in the Belfast Blitz 75 years ago | :10:53. | :10:53. | |
today. The chief executive of Sport Ireland | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
has said that mixed martial arts will have to accept proper | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
regulation for it to His comments were made | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
after the death of Portuguese fighter Jao Carvalho | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
following an event in Dublin People involved in the sport | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
on this side of the border say it is already safe | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
but that they would welcome It's the latest sport to have the | :11:14. | :11:27. | |
Spotlight shone on it. Made big by names like are shamanic, McGregor, | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
mixed martial arts is enormously popular but following the death | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
mixed martial arts is enormously Jao Carvalho at the weekend, it is | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
now in the news for all the wrong reasons. If you were wondering what | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
mixed martial arts fighting is, in some ways it is exactly what it | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
says, a mixture of boxing, wrestling, tae kwon do to name a | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
few, and did I mention the fighting takes place in a cage? Go! These | :11:57. | :12:05. | |
children aren't quite at that stage yet. Aged between six and 11, they | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
are learning the basics but they could progress to fill MMA when they | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
get older. Their parents think it is as safe as any other sport. In all | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
sports there is a risk of injury and I think there is a higher likelihood | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
of injury in other sports, for example rugby, American football, | :12:28. | :12:35. | |
they have talked about head trauma for years. I don't see a problem as | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
long as it is safe for him, and it is in a controlled environment, it's | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
not like he is outside. Rodney Moore runs this club. He says the sport is | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
safe and does regulate itself at fights already. We have a full | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
medical team, from doctors, ambulances, you have referees who | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
are affiliates of certain courses, everything is done. So you couldn't | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
really do more, and it is done to the government to get on board and | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
recognise it as a legitimate sport. Sport NI, the body that regulates | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
sportier, doesn't recognise MMA as a sporting activity in any form. An | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
application to have it mechanised five years ago was unsuccessful. -- | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
recognised. Memorial plaques commemorating those | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
who lost their lives in the Belfast Blitz are being put | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
up across the city. 75 years ago today, more than 900 | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
people were killed by German bombs The first memorial plaque | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
was unveiled at St George's Market. When the Luftwaffe started bombing | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
Britain, many thought This was Templemore Avenue | :13:49. | :13:56. | |
in the east of the city. This was Cliftonville | :13:57. | :14:05. | |
district in the north. So many people died | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
that the authorities didn't know St George's Market was turned | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
into a temporary mortuary. A memorial plaque was unveiled | :14:16. | :14:23. | |
at the market today and there to see it were some of the families hit | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
by the blitz. My sister Susan was killed in it and | :14:27. | :14:40. | |
my aunt Mary, her they were killed by the bombings. We were really | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
my aunt Mary, her they were killed afraid if we heard a plane, we would | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
just stand screaming. Mike and used to have to come out and bring a sin. | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
We lived through the Blitz. I was nine when the war began and I was | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
evacuated to Saintfield for about a year. Although it's only nine miles | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
from Belfast, the novelty of the farm working, I thought I was in | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
America, it was such a change. Historians say the use of St | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
George's Market as a mortuary shows how unprepared will fast was. For a | :15:17. | :15:23. | |
long period in the early stages of the war until the end of 1940, it | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
wasn't expected that will fast would be bombed, it was felt to promote. | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
But the Luftwaffe had the city in its sights and long after the war | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
ended, one of the German pilots involved spoke about bombing | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
Belfast. TRANSLATION: We simply didn't know there were so many | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
people winded. It was attacked as a military target but with the bad | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
weather it was hard to make out the port and I accept many bombs would | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
have fallen on residential areas. And in those areas, memorial plaques | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
will be placed to remember all those who died 75 years ago. | :16:05. | :16:12. | |

Now sport, and something of a shock in the Olympic boxing qualifiers. | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
The unthinkable, are, it has left us all a little flawed. | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
After an unbeaten run which stretches back fully five | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
The reigning Olympic champion was defeated in the semi-finals | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
of today's qualifying tournament in Turkey. | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
The road to Rio has got a little bumpy. | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
Katie Taylor hadn't lost in over five years. | :16:36. | :16:46. | |
The reigning Olympic champion has yet to book her place for Rio. Very | :16:47. | :16:56. | |
disappointed, I always go into these competitions hoping to bring home a | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
gold medal, so it was a tough one and it came as a bad time with such | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
a big competition, and Olympic qualifier, but I have had losses | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
before and come back from it and I will come back again. | :17:11. | :17:12. | |
There was also disappointment for Belfast flyweight Brendan Irvine | :17:13. | :17:14. | |
as he also lost in the semifinal to an Armenian opponent, but he can | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
still book a place in Rio if he wins the 3rd-4th bout tomorrow. | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
As can David Oliver Joyce in the lightweights after his defeat | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
After an eight month lay off Tommy Bowe will be back in action | :17:26. | :17:37. | |
for Ulster tomorrow away to Zebre in Parma. | :17:38. | :17:39. | |
Bowe sustained a nasty knee injury in last year's World Cup and given | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
Ulster's Pro12 run-in, his return is timely. | :17:43. | :17:44. | |
When Ulster have needed inspiration recently, Tommy Bowe has delivered. | :17:45. | :17:55. | |
The 32-year-old British and Irish line is back just in time for a | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
final play-off push. His active training, running some nice lines | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
and that is able used for everyone and gives them a lift. We need to | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
concentrate this week and not have too worry about chasing a bonus | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
point if we look after ourselves, concentrate on getting our stuff | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
right and everything will look after itself. There is no shying away from | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
the significance of the next three games. It is huge, the season on the | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
line every week from here on, but it is enjoyable and probably the most | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
important three weeks since I have been here. And a big win in Italy | :18:37. | :18:45. | |
keeps their hopes alive is. And tomorrow's game on BBC Northern | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
Ireland from 2pm. The World Snooker Championship gets | :18:49. | :18:49. | |
under way at the Crucible Mark Allen's tilt at the title | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
begins on Tuesday against Mitchell Mann, | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
a qualifier from England. As Thomas Niblock reports, | :18:56. | :18:56. | |
Allen is both keen and confident. It is a tournament that has provided | :18:57. | :19:05. | |
some incredible sporting moments. Alex Higgins becoming the best in | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
the world, and this moment. Dennis Taylor at defeating the man who | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
couldn't be beaten, Steve Davis, in 1985. The class of 2016 centres | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
around Mark Allen, hoping for success. There is an extra edge at | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
the Crucible that other venues do not have, it is so tense, it is very | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
small compared to normal arenas and it is the one you aspire to be, you | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
want to be world champion, no one wants to be DGC finals champion, | :19:40. | :19:47. | |
they want to be world champion, and it would be a great feather to have. | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
Mark Allen is working harder and longer than ever before. The recent | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
players tournament success shows he is on form but is he good enough to | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
be the best on the planet? I've beaten everybody the game has to | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
offer but I have nothing to fear. The biggest problem is controlling | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
my own performance, the last few years I have played OK but not my | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
best, I feel if I bring my a game and I am a match for everyone, I | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
expect to win. The bar has been set high. The World Championship begins | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
this weekend. It would be great to see him do it. | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
By this time tomorrow Crusaders could have secured | :20:31. | :20:32. | |
Win at Glenavon and if Linfield fail to beat Coleraine - it's all over. | :20:33. | :20:42. | |
We will try to come away with something from the game but it is a | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
tough place to go, they are playing well, very good players and we now | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
have to stay focused on what we are trying to do. We need to set our | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
stall out and do well, and if we cant we will push closer this time. | :20:59. | :21:06. | |
I'll have goals action and reaction on Final Score at 5pm tomorrow. | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
Geoff is here with the weather, and a blistering sunshine all weekend | :21:12. | :21:19. | |
please. You know how much I love my job, one of the best bet is opening | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
up the inbox each morning. Tonight will be a pretty good night for | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
taking photos, the only flight in the ointment is a chance of rain on | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
the coast, the remnants of some messy weather over the water, a mix | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
of a low pressure system appear and a cold front, and it has been | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
horrible. Our weather story has been much simpler. Once the rain came | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
through in the middle of the day we were into colder air, so overnight | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
the temperatures will drop. There is a risk of a frost overnight, | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
temperatures close to freezing, tomorrow we have eight cooler mix of | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
air so things will be brighter. We will see a fuchsia arbours, mainly | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
in the West, but for the rest of us it will be cool and bright, a little | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
breezy but not bad, top temperature seven or eight but if you catch some | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
of that sunshine it should feel quite pleasant. Staying bright as we | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
go through the second half of the day, so a decent end to | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
go through the second half of the but it will be another cold | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
go through the second half of the and as we go into the second half of | :22:35. | :22:36. | |
the weekend this ridge of high pressure ills in, the breeze picks | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
up and we get a little rain on pressure ills in, the breeze picks | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
end of this cold front. As we go into Sunday, we draw | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
end of this cold front. As we go westerly flow to our weather and | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
that will pull in more cloud, so a balancing act, while we | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
that will pull in more cloud, so a warmth from the sun it get | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
that will pull in more cloud, so a but stable conditions on | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
that will pull in more cloud, so a a top temperature of nine or ten. | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
That high pressure becomes more firmly established as we get into | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
the weekend so we will see more cloud but temperatures are very | :23:18. | :23:19. | |
covering nicely at the start of next week. | :23:20. | :23:26. | |
Our late news is at 10:30pm. From everyone on | :23:27. | :23:28. |
