:00:16. > :00:17.Good evening, this is BBC Newsline and these are the headlines this

:00:18. > :00:20.Friday evening: Swapping seats at Stormont, the new row over

:00:21. > :00:34.If they have some sort of embarrassment all reluctance to sit

:00:35. > :00:40.together in the chamber, then I do not think we are in the progressive

:00:41. > :00:43.time. I sit where I sit and Sinn Fein I'm sure we'll continue to sit

:00:44. > :00:45.where they sit. There will be no change.

:00:46. > :00:47.condition in hospital after crashing

:00:48. > :00:51.Brave and bold, the pictures that aim to open up

:00:52. > :01:02.I was given about 6-12 months to live. Two years later, I'm living

:01:03. > :01:03.life to the full. I completed treatment last August.

:01:04. > :01:09.And it'll be colder this weekend but will it stay dry.

:01:10. > :01:19.The Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt has called for seating

:01:20. > :01:21.arrangements in the Assembly chamber to change to reflect

:01:22. > :01:23.his party's decision to go into opposition.

:01:24. > :01:26.But the DUP leader and First Minister Arlene Foster says it

:01:27. > :01:29.won't happen, reminding him she won the election.

:01:30. > :01:31.Our political correspondent Gareth Gordon begins his report

:01:32. > :01:43.with Mr Nesbitt's challenge yesterday to other parties.

:01:44. > :01:53.Let battle commence! Battle number one. Seating arrangements. At

:01:54. > :01:56.Stormont, Sinn Fein and the DUP face each other across the chamber, even

:01:57. > :02:00.though they are in Government together. But in Westminster, the

:02:01. > :02:03.Government sits on one side of the chamber and the opposition on the

:02:04. > :02:08.other. And that is the model that Mike Nesbitt once in future.

:02:09. > :02:12.Ore-macro. If they don't want to sit side-by-side, while they sit in

:02:13. > :02:15.side-by-side as partners in Government? If they don't agree to

:02:16. > :02:18.change the seating arrangements if they have some sort of embarrassment

:02:19. > :02:22.all reluctance to sit together in the chamber, but I do not think we

:02:23. > :02:27.are in for a progressive five years. What does the DUP thing? We asked

:02:28. > :02:32.the First Minister as she spent the afternoon at the Balmoral Show. This

:02:33. > :02:35.is not Westminster, this is a devolved administration in Northern

:02:36. > :02:39.Ireland, I will sit where I sit and Sinn Fein will continue to sit where

:02:40. > :02:44.they sit. There will be no changing just for the benefit. I1 of the

:02:45. > :02:46.election and that Unionism is with me on these matters and that

:02:47. > :02:51.Unionism is with me in terms of wanting that a good, strong, stable

:02:52. > :02:55.Government for Northern Ireland. He did not tell people he was going

:02:56. > :02:58.into opposition when he was going on Northern Ireland. In fact coming at

:02:59. > :03:01.the post are thinking wanted to be First Minister, so he has misled the

:03:02. > :03:06.population of the Northern Ireland, but that is a matter for him. The

:03:07. > :03:18.man who drew up the plan for an official opposition was clearing his

:03:19. > :03:20.Assembly seat last week the believes if the FT LB joins the Ulster

:03:21. > :03:23.Unionists in opposition, they must work closely together. I do think

:03:24. > :03:28.there is strength in numbers. And on certain issues, you, together or you

:03:29. > :03:33.make sure you don't necessarily at the other party in a difficult

:03:34. > :03:39.position over motion as you table or the way you do your business. I

:03:40. > :03:43.think that is easy enough to do and define ways over the course of a

:03:44. > :03:48.five year term and that they may eventually look more like an

:03:49. > :03:51.alternative executive. -- Executive. Talks on the programme for

:03:52. > :03:53.Government resume here on Monday including the SDLP and the Alliance

:03:54. > :03:59.Party. For now at least. The 28-year-old man

:04:00. > :04:01.who died in a car crash in County Down this morning

:04:02. > :04:03.was Daryll Shaw from Castlewellan. near the village at a quarter

:04:04. > :04:07.to two this morning. Mr Shaw's car was the only vehicle

:04:08. > :04:10.involved in the crash. The motorbike racer Ryan Farquhar

:04:11. > :04:19.remains seriously ill after crashing The Dungannon rider was airlifted

:04:20. > :04:40.to hospital in Belfast last night. Ryan Farquhar is one of Northern

:04:41. > :04:44.Ireland's biggest road racing stars who has won more races than any

:04:45. > :04:49.other rider in the history of this sport. He had previously retired

:04:50. > :04:55.from a motorcycle racing, but last year, made a comeback. Last night,

:04:56. > :04:59.you suffered and pelvic injuries after a high-speed crash. He remains

:05:00. > :05:03.in a serious condition in hospital. I should warn you that the following

:05:04. > :05:10.report starts with footage the incident. The incident happened just

:05:11. > :05:13.after the bridge on the coast Road as Ryan Farquhar and Dan Cooper

:05:14. > :05:20.battled for the lead in the super twin class. The race was red flagged

:05:21. > :05:23.and paramedics attended the scene. Reiner for was airlifted to the

:05:24. > :05:29.Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast and underwent surgery. Dan Cooper

:05:30. > :05:34.was taken to another hospital and is charged overnight. This money,

:05:35. > :05:42.coming was back in the paddock, meeting a group of children. He

:05:43. > :05:46.acknowledged that he was very lucky. A dislocated shoulder and last night

:05:47. > :05:50.they were not too bad. I have had a fuel drugs to ease the pain, and

:05:51. > :05:57.this morning, they have worn off and now it just feels stiff. I'm just

:05:58. > :06:02.thinking it could be a lot worse. It is not nice, I hope Ryan is OK and I

:06:03. > :06:06.hope he will pull through. He is a fighter. James Hillier was just

:06:07. > :06:11.behind Ryan Farquhar and Cooper in the race and saw it unfold. You

:06:12. > :06:17.could see Ryan was pushing and when you honour the limits, it is easy to

:06:18. > :06:22.make a mistake. It caught him out, the bumps or the curb and he went

:06:23. > :06:26.down, so I was fortunate enough to make it through and as long as he is

:06:27. > :06:30.all right, that is the main thing and we are all here to have another

:06:31. > :06:33.go another day. As these two riders replayed on events of the night

:06:34. > :06:35.before, the thoughts of everyone here with Ryan Farquhar and his

:06:36. > :06:42.family. Race organisers today issued a

:06:43. > :06:46.statement saying they are optimistic that Reiner will make a full

:06:47. > :06:50.recovery and his team also confirmed that the other three riders will be

:06:51. > :06:54.racing tomorrow because the news from the hospital is more positive.

:06:55. > :06:55.I will be back with more from the North West 200 later in the

:06:56. > :06:56.programme. You're watching BBC Newsline

:06:57. > :06:58.and still to come: tackling Over the next few weeks,

:06:59. > :07:16.the famous landmark of Malin Head in County Donegal will be home

:07:17. > :07:18.to some famous movie characters. The latest instalment

:07:19. > :07:21.of the Star Wars movie series is due AS you can imagine,

:07:22. > :07:24.that has prompted huge Our North-West reporter

:07:25. > :07:40.Keiron Tourish is there. Well, indeed I can tell you that

:07:41. > :07:44.there is a great deal of excitement and it has reached fever pitch here

:07:45. > :07:49.in a Malin Head. Normally, people would come near to trying get a

:07:50. > :07:51.glimpse of the basking sharks or dolphins, but this weekend, they are

:07:52. > :07:59.on the Trail of Hollywood movie stars. Mark Hamill who plays will --

:08:00. > :08:03.Luke skywalker at Belfast Airport this morning. He and other bikes

:08:04. > :08:07.were arriving to form a scene for the next blockbuster in Hama Micro

:08:08. > :08:11.encountered on the goal. In the last few days, a massive construction has

:08:12. > :08:17.been taking shape on the edge of the Atlantic. But is it the famous

:08:18. > :08:19.millennium Falcon spaceship? Yes, it is. People may be a little

:08:20. > :08:24.disappointed if they are coming up and expecting to see the full sized

:08:25. > :08:28.Falcon bolt out there. It is a full-size, but only the underbelly.

:08:29. > :08:31.The top part is not on it, the scaffold is holding it up, so either

:08:32. > :08:37.they are shooting from underneath all be going to put the rest in late

:08:38. > :08:40.on. Roads were closed first thing this morning and local people were

:08:41. > :08:46.given special passes to allow them to move around freely. There is no

:08:47. > :08:51.doubting the Force is in Malin Head. It is unreal. It is being like a

:08:52. > :08:56.dream. Last year they were following at Kerry and I was going to take a

:08:57. > :09:01.trip down, but it was a seven-hour drive, so to hear they were coming

:09:02. > :09:05.up here, it is unreal. I had to go! It is fabulous. A dream come true

:09:06. > :09:10.for it is to be folded up here in Malin Head, our little corner of the

:09:11. > :09:14.country. We do not get much appeal. Everyone it seems is benefiting. But

:09:15. > :09:17.there is a lot of secrecy surrounding the plot. Who is

:09:18. > :09:23.actually here? We were contacted recently by the people who have a

:09:24. > :09:27.connection with Star Wars and they asked could I rent the house. They

:09:28. > :09:31.were specifically looking for a house with two bathrooms and I said

:09:32. > :09:35.well, who is renting it? And they said sorry, we cannot tell you that.

:09:36. > :09:40.Everything is shrouded in secrecy. So we Hollywood star could be in

:09:41. > :09:44.your kitchen? Who knows! And maybe they will leave me something to let

:09:45. > :09:49.me know who was there. Hollywood a list Mark Hamill has been to drop in

:09:50. > :09:53.on the locals. He would certainly feel right at home. There are plenty

:09:54. > :09:59.of star spotters, but we've not seen any stars as of yet. The cameras are

:10:00. > :10:06.rolling today and all over this weekend, the roads are closed, so we

:10:07. > :10:10.are not allowed to get a shot of them, but there's plenty of people

:10:11. > :10:13.trying. So this weekend will tell the tale. Some flight restrictions

:10:14. > :10:18.are now believed to be in place and the only thing in the air today is a

:10:19. > :10:21.transatlantic jets. No sign of any spaceships.

:10:22. > :10:28.Of course, we know that when part of Star Wars was filmed off County

:10:29. > :10:32.Kerry, it's provided a huge boost for tourism in that part of the

:10:33. > :10:34.country. The hope now in Donegal is that it will do the same for here.

:10:35. > :10:36.We shall wait and see. And later in the programme,

:10:37. > :10:39.we'll be telling you about a link between our studio and the last

:10:40. > :10:45.Star Wars movie. Alcohol licensing laws

:10:46. > :10:47.are again under the spotlight after heavy criticism from one

:10:48. > :10:51.of Northern Ireland's Michael Deane says the current

:10:52. > :10:55.legislation here is too restrictive and has left Northern Ireland out

:10:56. > :10:58.of step with the rest of the UK. Only some licensed premises

:10:59. > :11:00.with special permission can serve alcohol until 1am,

:11:01. > :11:15.but it seems that change Food and drink. It is a booming

:11:16. > :11:19.business in Northern Ireland, but our local alcohol laws hurting

:11:20. > :11:25.further growth? Restaurants such as this can serve alcohol until 11pm.

:11:26. > :11:29.It is the same with pubs. That is on a standard week, but it's times like

:11:30. > :11:36.Christmas and Easter, these hours become much more restrictive. When

:11:37. > :11:41.people are here on Good Friday, Saturday or Sunday, there should be

:11:42. > :11:44.a reasonable amount of time that people can enjoy food, drink,

:11:45. > :11:48.celebrating with their family or friends. I suggested we should be

:11:49. > :11:54.allowed to open a midday and serve alcohol until at least 1am. We

:11:55. > :12:00.recognise it is quite the restrictive licensing thing, but I

:12:01. > :12:03.would of legislation would be brought forward in the first few

:12:04. > :12:06.months of this new mandate. It wasn't possible before, because of

:12:07. > :12:09.the stalling of welfare reform, but we would like to make it happen as

:12:10. > :12:14.soon as we can, particularly given that this is the Year of Food and

:12:15. > :12:18.Drink. We think it will need to be extended in terms of attracting

:12:19. > :12:23.tourism but there would need to be a discussion around how we treat bar

:12:24. > :12:26.staff, hospitality staff on the back of that. Extended hours means that

:12:27. > :12:29.later finishing time and a lot of young people work in these jobs and

:12:30. > :12:33.we have to make sure they are safe as they go home. What about those or

:12:34. > :12:39.not from Northern Ireland and are used to very different alcohol laws?

:12:40. > :12:44.I think they need to get in line with everybody else. I'm not sure if

:12:45. > :12:49.it's a bad thing. It is only 1am. Tourism here is mostly thriving on

:12:50. > :12:53.that the Irish like to drink. I think it is fairly weird that

:12:54. > :13:00.religion police search a role in the consumption of alcohol. No good. No

:13:01. > :13:01.good to summer, maybe. But there are signs that last orders here could

:13:02. > :13:05.soon be called a bit later. Talking about cancer can

:13:06. > :13:08.be difficult enough, never mind agreeing to be

:13:09. > :13:16.photographed, scars and all. Well, that's exactly what 41 people

:13:17. > :13:20.of all ages have done to help tackle the stigma of living

:13:21. > :13:23.with the disease. Our Health Correspondent

:13:24. > :13:24.Marie-Louise Connolly has been to the Titanic centre

:13:25. > :13:40.in Belfast to take a look. Shocking. Bold. However you say it,

:13:41. > :13:46.these pictures are an honest portrayal of how cancer can ravage a

:13:47. > :13:51.body. I like to call it the beast. Basically, 45-6 months I was getting

:13:52. > :13:54.severe headaches, having to to the doctors and get taken in for

:13:55. > :14:00.emergency brain surgery. After that, I was Tiger nosed with a rare type

:14:01. > :14:05.of brain disease and I was given about 6-12 months to live. Over two

:14:06. > :14:08.years later, living life to the full, fit as a fiddle and finished

:14:09. > :14:13.treatment last August. Travelling as much as I can, squeezing as much out

:14:14. > :14:19.as I can. But some of the pictures are distressing. The test and is

:14:20. > :14:21.however all uplifting. I enjoy going to work, my family, all the little

:14:22. > :14:25.things in life that you take normally for granted, I appreciate

:14:26. > :14:30.so much more now. I wouldn't have done so before this journey. What do

:14:31. > :14:34.you hope to achieve out of this? We are hoping people will talk openly

:14:35. > :14:38.about cancer, to be honest about their treatment, how it feels when

:14:39. > :14:41.you are diagnosed, how to deal with the emotions. We are hoping people

:14:42. > :14:47.will support each other and awful lot more. I had cancer years ago and

:14:48. > :14:51.I want people to see also it is not necessarily a death sentence. I want

:14:52. > :14:55.to let people see also that people have marks of cancer beneath their

:14:56. > :14:58.clothes and to realise there's a lot going on. You don't know what people

:14:59. > :15:03.are suffering when you see them fully dressed. But I am still here

:15:04. > :15:06.and that is 30 years later. So by taking part in something like this,

:15:07. > :15:12.is it a form of therapy? Oh, definitely. We all get together and

:15:13. > :15:15.have such fun. We enjoy each other's company and make friends that will

:15:16. > :15:20.be in your life for ever. We are there to support each the good times

:15:21. > :15:23.and the bad. The exhibition will remain at the Titanic Centre in

:15:24. > :15:29.Belfast this weekend and will then tour across Northern Ireland.

:15:30. > :15:32.The organisers of the Balmoral Show have rejected suggestions

:15:33. > :15:33.that the roads infrastructure into and out of the

:15:34. > :15:37.Some motorists experienced long delays leaving the show last night.

:15:38. > :15:39.However, the Chief Executive of the Royal Ulster Agricultural

:15:40. > :15:42.Society says the vast majority of people who come to the show

:15:43. > :15:43.understand that delays are sometimes inevitable,

:15:44. > :16:00.Summertime is moving slowly, sometimes not moving at all. Leaving

:16:01. > :16:06.some people very frustrated. Madness! Madness. Outside the

:16:07. > :16:12.grounds, big car parks full to capacity. People coming here are

:16:13. > :16:16.enjoying the show, but for some, the end of their day out can leave a

:16:17. > :16:20.sour taste. Last night, there were delays getting out of the car park

:16:21. > :16:25.and long tailbacks on the roads. Some people brought their noise to

:16:26. > :16:29.social media. One person said it was mad. People coming at you from all

:16:30. > :16:33.directions. This is part of the difficulty. The sheer volume of

:16:34. > :16:38.traffic. Hundreds and thousands of cars all in the one place. Later in

:16:39. > :16:44.the day, when they all tried to move, well, that causes a problem.

:16:45. > :16:46.The show organisers Ike said there can be delays, but they say

:16:47. > :16:50.occasional difficulties need to be kept in the Bective. They also say

:16:51. > :16:55.there are more pressing priorities than new roads into the site. The

:16:56. > :16:58.Balmoral Show, it would be a help if we had it, but when you think of

:16:59. > :17:02.what the Government has to face a look at the difficulties in the

:17:03. > :17:06.health service, there may be a few things higher up on the agenda than

:17:07. > :17:13.that. So I think if the customers had to wait an extra 20-40 minutes,

:17:14. > :17:19.well. A motorway link was part of the proposed plan which included a

:17:20. > :17:23.cent of the site. Although that pay centre will not be developed, there

:17:24. > :17:27.was a commitment today to try and improve the road network. The centre

:17:28. > :17:30.is not happening now, but I would like to see the rest of the site

:17:31. > :17:34.developed and we are looking at the roads and we will look at that road

:17:35. > :17:38.issue over the next period of time. I'm not just here on the Maze site

:17:39. > :17:41.for this, I've been here for the events and I think the thing to do

:17:42. > :17:45.is build this place up in terms of economic development. It is a very

:17:46. > :17:49.important and strategic site for Northern Ireland. At the end of the

:17:50. > :17:52.three-day event, delays getting into and out of the main site may be an

:17:53. > :17:55.issue for some people. Others may simply reflect on their enjoyment to

:17:56. > :17:59.the relocated Balmoral Show. Now for a quick look behind

:18:00. > :18:02.the scenes here at BBC Newsline. During last week's election,

:18:03. > :18:04.we created a virtual And what's the connection

:18:05. > :18:10.to Star Wars? BBC Newsline's Mark

:18:11. > :18:22.Simpson explains all. It is called a virtual chamber for a

:18:23. > :18:27.reason. It is not really here. This is the reality, a big green studio,

:18:28. > :18:32.which has been built in to the main BBC Newsline studio. It allows us to

:18:33. > :18:37.mix between the real world over here and a virtual world over there.

:18:38. > :18:42.Where we can insert computer-generated images, just like

:18:43. > :18:47.they do in many films. And speaking of movies, this curve at the back of

:18:48. > :18:52.the studio was made by a firm which also made the nose cones for the

:18:53. > :18:57.fighters in the last Star Wars film. The battle ground we built here

:18:58. > :19:02.recently was of course Stormont and with this click, I can fill up the

:19:03. > :19:07.chamber with even more politicians. And here is my favourite bits. I can

:19:08. > :19:13.empty the chamber as well! Just like that. But how do I stop walking into

:19:14. > :19:17.the Stormont benchers? Well, if we turn of these images, you concede I

:19:18. > :19:22.have a bit of guidance on the floor here. That is how we do it. But

:19:23. > :19:27.there is one thing I always have to remember, never, ever wear green. If

:19:28. > :19:32.we bring Stormont back, you can see what happens if I wear a green tie.

:19:33. > :19:38.The camera replaces the green with the graphic and it all gets a bit

:19:39. > :19:41.messy. So in many ways, this virtual Stormont is just like the real

:19:42. > :19:45.Stormont, you have to be careful what you say, where you walk and you

:19:46. > :19:48.even have to be careful about what you wear. So now you know!

:19:49. > :19:56.Now sport and back to Stephen at the North West 200.

:19:57. > :20:02.Earlier in the programme, we heard how Dungannon rider Ryan Farquhar

:20:03. > :20:06.remains a serious condition after that high-speed crash last night.

:20:07. > :20:10.Also last night, there was history made at the North West 200 as

:20:11. > :20:15.Alistair Seeley became the race's most successful ever rider. He joins

:20:16. > :20:18.me now. The highs and lows of this spectacular a dangerous sport

:20:19. > :20:25.brought into sharp focus last night. I'm sure your thoughts are with Ryan

:20:26. > :20:28.Farquhar. Yes, nobody wants to see a crash and I was there when it

:20:29. > :20:33.happened. I heard of the gasps and I asked a friend who had seen it and

:20:34. > :20:37.he wasn't very happy about it. My thoughts are with Ryan and news from

:20:38. > :20:41.his team today is that things are looking up for him. So thoughts and

:20:42. > :20:47.prayers are with him and we all know the dangers of this sport and we are

:20:48. > :20:52.except it when we participate. How would you feel about beating the

:20:53. > :20:58.great Robert Dunlop and beating that record? You now have 16 wins. It is

:20:59. > :21:02.a very overwhelming feeling when I came into the podium enclosure. It

:21:03. > :21:06.is a dream come true. I've worked hard for it and will be mentioned in

:21:07. > :21:12.the same breath as a Dunlop, well that is unreal. As I will buy it, I

:21:13. > :21:15.was here and it just hasn't sunk in yet, because I'm fearless Dover a

:21:16. > :21:19.focused on what I have aired tomorrow with five races. It will be

:21:20. > :21:24.a very busy schedule, so it is an early night for me tonight and it's

:21:25. > :21:30.a nice feeling, and plenty of hydration and work to do tomorrow.

:21:31. > :21:35.What is possible for you tomorrow? Could you beat the five win in a

:21:36. > :21:38.single day record? Is all about the record coming here now and I have

:21:39. > :21:43.the chance of five in a day and things have changed. So it is always

:21:44. > :21:46.getting about something, but even the previous years when I was

:21:47. > :21:50.getting hat tricks around here, it is a big ask and it is definitely a

:21:51. > :21:56.dream date to the getting through, so to get one already, at the end of

:21:57. > :22:00.the week, and now I have Saturday ahead of me, I feel I will go out

:22:01. > :22:04.with my team is and do the best job I can and if I can get maybe one

:22:05. > :22:08.more, that will be good, but the talents of riders around here comes

:22:09. > :22:13.you saw last night, just a dogfight to the end. But in my head on the

:22:14. > :22:16.last lap and I managed to through it. Thank you for joining us

:22:17. > :22:19.tonight. This weekend sees Fermanagh host

:22:20. > :22:21.Antrim in the opening game of the Ulster Senior

:22:22. > :22:23.Football Championship. The teams meet for the fourth

:22:24. > :22:34.time in three years. Earlier this week, the Antrim County

:22:35. > :22:38.board threw open the gates to training at the home of this club in

:22:39. > :22:43.West Belfast. They invited the community and media to freely

:22:44. > :22:46.interact with its footballers. From this elevated site in Windsor Park,

:22:47. > :22:52.the recently redeveloped home of Northern Ireland football glistened

:22:53. > :22:56.in the sun. Just out of view and out of bounds, Casement Park. Decrepit

:22:57. > :23:00.and in a state of paralysis. These players and their management are

:23:01. > :23:06.homeless, but upbeat. I miss Casement Park. I went about a young

:23:07. > :23:13.boy and a senior player. It is about time we got as you say it to reopen

:23:14. > :23:17.and got things moving. We will be travelling for the next few years

:23:18. > :23:20.until we get something else. And hopefully we can push on two

:23:21. > :23:25.divisions and we need a good pitch and a good stadium for these bigger

:23:26. > :23:29.games. In stark contrast, Fermanagh have it sorted on and off the field.

:23:30. > :23:34.We are one of the teams in Allston who I think should have and have the

:23:35. > :23:37.rights to have legitimate aspirations towards winning an

:23:38. > :23:41.Ulster title. But in the short term, we want to play our best against

:23:42. > :23:47.Antrim and get positive results there. So Fermanagh out of the shed,

:23:48. > :23:53.but Antrim still in the shadows. It is up to us to inspire the younger

:23:54. > :23:57.generation, it is great to see is that big turnouts today as well.

:23:58. > :23:58.That is what we look for. The fans believe it is now down to the

:23:59. > :24:07.players. Finally tonight, golf,

:24:08. > :24:09.and Rory McIlroy, after an indifferent start yesterday,

:24:10. > :24:11.has had a sensational second round at the Players' Championship

:24:12. > :24:13.at Sawgrass in Florida. The world number three started

:24:14. > :24:16.the day on level par, he picked up seven shots

:24:17. > :24:25.in the opening seven holes and has just ended his round at 8 under,

:24:26. > :24:28.now just 2 shots off the lead and back into serious contention

:24:29. > :24:38.going into the weekend. That is it live from the north
