:08:14. > :08:15.in rejuvenating shopping Here's our business correspondent
:08:16. > :08:29.Julian O'Neill. According to the experts, Belfast
:08:30. > :08:37.ranks a pretty lowly 16th in comparison to other UK cities in the
:08:38. > :08:41.quality shops. Retail needs a new lease of life, and here, on Royal
:08:42. > :08:45.Avenue, is a prime example where change is needed. A report to the
:08:46. > :08:50.council says Belfast falls well below other cities in terms of
:08:51. > :08:56.luxury or high-end retail. There are gaps in the high Street which
:08:57. > :08:59.visitors can notice. In Manchester we have Selfridge's and then in
:09:00. > :09:07.Newcastle various clinics and they are the big department stores. --
:09:08. > :09:12.varies Fenwicks. In Belfast I wouldn't say we have that. I like it
:09:13. > :09:17.here in Belfast, it is very compact and there is a lot of different
:09:18. > :09:20.range, and it has been good. Analysts believe Belfast is playing
:09:21. > :09:26.catch up. The report says over 200 brands are missing from Belfast.
:09:27. > :09:30.John Lewis would be a major catalyst in uplifting retail fortunes.
:09:31. > :09:38.Potentially driving up city shops spending by 17%. Should John Lewis
:09:39. > :09:42.prefer spruce field reports suggest that the Belfast retail income would
:09:43. > :09:47.drop by an initial 9%, the equivalent of about ?47 million per
:09:48. > :09:55.year. It is a scenario that city retailers want avoided. John Lewis,
:09:56. > :09:58.Brian Thomas, we don't mind, we want to be supporting on the business
:09:59. > :10:01.community to develop and making it a great place for people to come in
:10:02. > :10:06.and spend time. John Lewis has always been seen as favouring of
:10:07. > :10:10.Belfast although no planning application is presently on the
:10:11. > :10:15.table, but from this report Belfast is signalling it is not giving up on
:10:16. > :10:22.a new department store. John Lewis is being actively courted. There is
:10:23. > :10:25.a retail element to a major plan called Royal exchange, a ?400
:10:26. > :10:30.million regeneration scheme between the Royal Avenue and Cathedral
:10:31. > :10:33.Quarter. Its owners, as well as the Council, would dearly love a big
:10:34. > :10:35.name anchor tenant. There's plenty still to come on
:10:36. > :10:37.the programme. We've
:10:38. > :10:39.details of a new plan to increase Long awaited plans to relax alcohol
:10:40. > :10:52.licensing laws moved a step closer today,
:10:53. > :10:54.with the proposals being The changes will mean some extra
:10:55. > :10:58.drinking time but they don't go as far as many in the hospitality
:10:59. > :11:01.industry would like. Our Economics and Business Editor
:11:02. > :11:12.John Campbell is here. What are the main proposals? I
:11:13. > :11:16.should say they are fairly minor proposals and they will not be a big
:11:17. > :11:19.radical change with us having all-night continental style
:11:20. > :11:24.drinking. Looking at the graphics, the main changes are that we will be
:11:25. > :11:28.able to serve until 2am on 12 occasions per year basically meaning
:11:29. > :11:32.that there is a late licence once a month. The latest is currently one
:11:33. > :11:38.a.m., so it is an extension until two a.m.. The second part is that
:11:39. > :11:42.drinking uptime is extended from half an hour to an hour. Those are
:11:43. > :11:46.the changes, but they are not huge. They had been proposed quite a while
:11:47. > :11:51.now and many people might ask why it is so modest. This has been floating
:11:52. > :11:55.around for four years, and even a decade to get this stage. I think
:11:56. > :11:58.the answer is to do with an age of alcohol. Yes, it allows lots of
:11:59. > :12:04.people do have a good time but also brings with it social problems so it
:12:05. > :12:07.means that such -- progress has been cautious and slow. Also as the
:12:08. > :12:11.minister responsible for licensing laws were saying today, there are
:12:12. > :12:15.religious matters to be considered around some areas of licensing. The
:12:16. > :12:19.Republic of Ireland doesn't allow any opening on Good Friday and
:12:20. > :12:21.that's not the approach we have in Northern Ireland so there have been
:12:22. > :12:26.modest changes proposed in the bill, but what I would say is there would
:12:27. > :12:29.not be an Easter holiday in Northern Ireland unless it was grounded upon
:12:30. > :12:34.the religious aspect, so that has to be respected by the people involved
:12:35. > :12:39.in the hospitality trade. As we said earlier, not everyone is happy about
:12:40. > :12:42.this. What has been the reaction? The hospitality trade have waited
:12:43. > :12:45.for a long time to get here so they are happy that something is
:12:46. > :12:48.happening but they would prefer those late licences rather than
:12:49. > :12:52.being monthly, they would be available every weekend. The main
:12:53. > :12:58.opposition parties have also said that the measures do not go far
:12:59. > :13:00.enough. On a separate matter, the possible fallout from Brexit and the
:13:01. > :13:08.news that some money might be logjam. Yes, there was a big
:13:09. > :13:11.question over lots of European funding due over the next five years
:13:12. > :13:15.so the Chancellor of the Exchequer said it was OK, as long as you have
:13:16. > :13:19.your application sorted by the 23rd of November the Treasury will
:13:20. > :13:23.underwrite it, even after Brexit, we will pay. There has been a rush to
:13:24. > :13:28.get applications in by that deadline but today the finance minister said
:13:29. > :13:32.that there were ?120 million worth of grants logjam in the system. He
:13:33. > :13:36.said he did not want to start a blame game about why it is but I
:13:37. > :13:40.understand the issue is to do with the cross-border nature of the money
:13:41. > :13:43.and the UK Government will say they will underwrite it, but the Irish
:13:44. > :13:46.government position is a bit more uncertain. They would be may be
:13:47. > :13:50.reluctant to commit to the schemes because it's not clear if they will
:13:51. > :13:53.get money from the EU to pay for them after Brexit, and at the same
:13:54. > :13:56.time the EU would be reluctant to get involved in funding matters
:13:57. > :14:00.because that is the part of the negotiations still to come when the
:14:01. > :14:02.Prime Minister triggers article 15, so lots of convocations in the
:14:03. > :14:07.story. -- article 15. The DUP has denied it blocked
:14:08. > :14:09.the publication of a report commissioned last year which listed
:14:10. > :14:11.20 ways Brexit could The report was compiled by officials
:14:12. > :14:17.in the Office of the First and Deputy First Minister but not
:14:18. > :14:22.published before the referendum. It has been obtained through
:14:23. > :14:26.a Freedom of Information request. Here's our political correspondent
:14:27. > :14:38.Gareth Gordon. Leave all remained was the biggest
:14:39. > :14:42.question posed to voters in a generation and it divided our two
:14:43. > :14:45.biggest executive parties, the DUP and Sinn Fein. But it has emerged
:14:46. > :14:50.that they had information which was never shown to the public, until
:14:51. > :14:54.now. A report on the possible effects on Brexit in Northern
:14:55. > :14:58.Ireland was compiled by Stormont officials in May of last year. The
:14:59. > :15:01.report said the immediate financial impact was likely to be negative
:15:02. > :15:07.with the loss of billions of euros in funding. It claimed Northern
:15:08. > :15:09.Ireland might be less attractive for foreign investment from companies
:15:10. > :15:14.wanting to do business within the European Union. A lack of subsidies
:15:15. > :15:20.would put farmers and agriculture related industries at a severe
:15:21. > :15:22.disadvantage, and it warned the cost of cross-border trade and economic
:15:23. > :15:27.cooperation would increase. The report never saw the light of day,
:15:28. > :15:31.but does that really matter? From my perspective the arguments had been
:15:32. > :15:34.made anyway by leaders of political parties in favour of remain,
:15:35. > :15:39.including ourselves and Sinn Fein through the course of the campaign.
:15:40. > :15:44.The other executive parties at the time say they never even saw the
:15:45. > :15:48.document. We had a missed opportunity in terms of having a
:15:49. > :15:53.proper discussion. We needed to have a better public debate on Northern
:15:54. > :15:58.Ireland. The DUP denies the chance. We did not block it, and the fact is
:15:59. > :16:00.that some of the predictions made in the document saying that Northern
:16:01. > :16:05.Ireland would suffer an immediate economic id have been proven to be
:16:06. > :16:09.false as that is not the case. There was not a single positive thing in
:16:10. > :16:14.that report, which is why it was discounted. But the journalist who
:16:15. > :16:19.obtained the report through a Freedom of information request has a
:16:20. > :16:22.different view. The negotiations have yet to take place several of
:16:23. > :16:30.the potential locations identified by this group of experts may yet be
:16:31. > :16:34.barriers that we are yet to cross. The opposition raised the issue in
:16:35. > :16:38.the assembly today. Mr Speaker, you might perhaps further consider
:16:39. > :16:42.whether the non-publication of this document represented a breach of the
:16:43. > :16:47.ministerial code with regard to openness. The speaker said it was
:16:48. > :16:51.not a matter for him. Of course, a majority of people in Northern
:16:52. > :16:53.Ireland voted to remain in the EU in any case. Whether this document
:16:54. > :16:58.would have made any difference we will never know.
:16:59. > :17:00.For years money has been pumped into the conservation
:17:01. > :17:03.But the numbers still appear to be falling.
:17:04. > :17:11.So under a new plan up to 50 farmers will be asked to manage their land
:17:12. > :17:13.for the good of the waders like curlew and lapwing,
:17:14. > :17:15.and in doing so they will get an income.

:17:38. > :17:42.it is great around for the breeding waders that live along the shore.
:17:43. > :17:47.That is why Simon has been asked to sign up to a new scheme to improve
:17:48. > :17:54.their habitat. It's as much about what you don't do as it is what you
:17:55. > :18:01.do. So the grazing at particular times of year, like the nesting

:19:44. > :19:55.A few seconds later he had to be restrained again. As he struggled,
:19:56. > :19:58.the bomb outside exploded. The people were starting to scream, and
:19:59. > :20:01.I stood up and looked around and it was pretty dark but I could see
:20:02. > :20:09.people huddled together in corners and people were on the ground. The
:20:10. > :20:13.screaming just went on and on. His job was to be the eyes and ears of
:20:14. > :20:15.the audience, and he did that through some of the most difficult
:20:16. > :20:21.days in the history of Northern Ireland. His friend and former BBC

:21:29. > :21:34.at Hazelteen for this week's Ryder Cup.
:21:35. > :21:37.Yes, fresh from his 11 and a half million dollar Fed Ex Cup
:21:38. > :21:42.win Rory McIlroy has joined up with European team in Minnesota.
:21:43. > :21:46.Tonight, the players will be given a motivational talk by former
:21:47. > :21:48.Ireland rugby captain Paul O'Connell who has invited
:21:49. > :21:53.Today, practice got underway ahead for the contest
:21:54. > :22:01.against America at Hazeltine, Stephen Watson is there.
:22:02. > :22:09.When the European team's star player is in red-hot form no wonder his
:22:10. > :22:14.captain looks so happy. Darren Clarke first met a ten-year-old Rory
:22:15. > :22:20.McIlroy 17 years ago. Now the two are side-by-side on the biggest
:22:21. > :22:25.stage in goal. He's been fantastic. There's a lot of motivational quotes
:22:26. > :22:32.upon the wall, and they have been special for him but also special to
:22:33. > :22:36.Europe as well. Years of iconic sporting stars and I've been in
:22:37. > :22:39.constant touch with him and that is the thing I've liked so far. He's
:22:40. > :22:43.definitely very organised and he bounces things off make every now
:22:44. > :22:46.and again and I'm glad to have that relationship, that he trusts me
:22:47. > :22:52.another one thinks highly of me that I can make a difference. And that
:22:53. > :22:57.could be key as there are six debut players in the European side, and
:22:58. > :23:02.the skipper is determined to enjoy this unique experience. The Ryder
:23:03. > :23:08.Cup is a very, very special event to be part of, let alone to be picked
:23:09. > :23:13.to be captain, and to be able to lead out that team and be captain of
:23:14. > :23:18.hopefully a winning Ryder Cup team is a huge honour. Two years on I'm
:23:19. > :23:22.one of the most experienced on the team and I think it's up to a few of
:23:23. > :23:26.us who have played a few Ryder cups to be the leaders and be a voice in
:23:27. > :23:31.the room or just lead by example on the course. I feel it is that time
:23:32. > :23:34.for me to step up and take that on my shoulders and tried to be one of
:23:35. > :23:39.the leaders of the team and I'm ready for that responsibility. And
:23:40. > :23:42.ready, he says, to help Darren Clarke deliver what would be a
:23:43. > :23:46.record-breaking fourth win in a row for Europe.
:23:47. > :23:48.Rugby, and Ulster centres Stuart McCloskey, Stuart Olding
:23:49. > :23:50.and Luke Marshall will miss Saturday's Pro12 game
:23:51. > :23:55.against the Ospreys in Belfast through injury.
:23:56. > :23:57.But the league leaders have plenty of cover according to Darren Cave,
:23:58. > :24:02.who scored in last Friday night's win away to Glasgow.
:24:03. > :24:08.I think we have had a backline is as good before but maybe not so much
:24:09. > :24:12.depth. That is the one thing. Every game we play we look at the players
:24:13. > :24:17.not playing and that is the most staggering thing, particularly in
:24:18. > :24:21.the backs. You look at the injured back line and it's always pretty
:24:22. > :24:25.spectacular as well. At the end of the day, no one player wins the
:24:26. > :24:28.league and you contribute when you can and you could play every week,
:24:29. > :24:32.but we try and push each other to make each other better and when you
:24:33. > :24:33.get the opportunity to play you help the team win.
:24:34. > :24:35.Ireland's cricket team were well beaten by Australia in today's
:24:36. > :24:37.one-day international in South Africa.
:24:38. > :24:39.The Aussies are currently ranked number one in the limited overs
:24:40. > :24:54.It all started so well. A super shot. Captain William Porterfield
:24:55. > :24:58.won the toss, elected to bat and he and Paul Stirling got island off to
:24:59. > :25:03.a steady start. But once they were removed the rest of the Ireland
:25:04. > :25:08.innings creaked. The steady loss of wickets and a non-competitive final
:25:09. > :25:12.total of 198 all out. The Australians replied and Tim Murtagh
:25:13. > :25:16.put a stop to the aggressive David Warner but the run chase was always
:25:17. > :25:20.a comfortable one with a second century wicket partnership from
:25:21. > :25:25.Khawaja and Smith. It was not island's day in the field, but a
:25:26. > :25:29.comfortable Australian victory by nine wickets -- it was not island's.
:25:30. > :25:30.Finally, Derry City play Shamrock Rovers tonight
:25:31. > :25:32.at the Brandywell as they look to secure European
:25:33. > :25:35.We'll have the result on our later bulletin.
:25:36. > :25:38.Now the weather forecast, and I thought it was unlucky to open up an
:25:39. > :25:45.umbrella indoors. It is, but it's part of public art
:25:46. > :25:48.in a well-known alleyway, but thankfully we didn't leave the
:25:49. > :25:51.umbrellas and people were tweeting as impression -- pictures of their
:25:52. > :25:57.washing drying on the line. Some sunshine tonight, and overnight it
:25:58. > :26:00.will be largely dry and quite windy so some people are looking to go
:26:01. > :26:04.towards the north coast to spot the Northern lights, and if you're
:26:05. > :26:09.headed that way, do wrap up warm because it will be dusty. Most other
:26:10. > :26:13.places are 12 or 13 degrees and that sets us up a warmer day tomorrow,
:26:14. > :26:17.unseasonably warm to the time of year. But it's going to stay quite
:26:18. > :26:21.windy and to begin with although it will be a dry start we will have
:26:22. > :26:28.patchy and drizzle moving across in the morning. -- patchy rain. There
:26:29. > :26:33.will be brighter weather developing, and 20, maybe 21 degrees well above
:26:34. > :26:36.average for the time of year. If you're travelling tomorrow, the more
:26:37. > :26:43.unsettled conditions will be across Scotland, quite windy, and heavy
:26:44. > :26:47.rain as well. South of that, some rain for the north-west of England
:26:48. > :26:52.and Wales with the best of the sunshine in London with highs of 22
:26:53. > :26:57.degrees. Across Ireland, a lot of cloud, but quite warm, 22 degrees,
:26:58. > :26:59.but look out of the rain in the Atlantic heading our way late
:27:00. > :27:03.tomorrow afternoon and into the evening. Some of the rain will be
:27:04. > :27:08.heavy and it will come with stronger winds. Tomorrow night we are likely
:27:09. > :27:14.to see gales along the north coast, 50 or 60 mph, and also quite gusty
:27:15. > :27:19.inland so we might see tree branches reaching the roads. Nine or 10
:27:20. > :27:23.degrees is the low tomorrow night, so slightly cooler. As we go into
:27:24. > :27:28.Thursday, stronger winds coming across and it will be a cooler day
:27:29. > :27:31.with 13 or 14 degrees. Some of the showers will also come with thunder
:27:32. > :27:35.and lightning but there will be sunshine in between. As we make our
:27:36. > :27:42.way towards Friday the weekend, noticeably cooler but it won't be
:27:43. > :27:44.dried as you might need the umbrella. Goodbye.
