:03:22. > :03:29.Brexit boat says he now has no option but to put the project on
:03:30. > :03:33.hold. Brexit is a false, the 40% funding would likely have been

:03:39. > :03:43.This is the implication of that decision. But in the House of
:03:44. > :03:47.Commons today, the government repeated its promise if EU started

:04:19. > :04:21.He will match it? He said only up to 2020. The British government could

:04:42. > :04:44.a project like this which could improve the quality of life and
:04:45. > :04:51.improve the air quality in those areas as well? Concerns were raised
:04:52. > :04:57.this afternoon. All roads lead to this interchange. Three motorways
:04:58. > :05:02.and all the major strategic road network. We could have a member
:05:03. > :05:07.sitting for two an hour in traffic. At the moment it cost about ?1 a
:05:08. > :05:12.minute to operate a 42 tonne lorry, so time is money. The minister says
:05:13. > :05:16.he understands these concerns and although the upgrade scheme is on
:05:17. > :05:19.hold, he does still hope to carry it out. But it is unlikely to be soon.
:05:20. > :05:24.Our business and economics editor John Campbell joins me now.
:05:25. > :05:31.Could they still get the money from Europe? Yes, they could. We need to
:05:32. > :05:36.unpack a little bit around this guarantee the British government say
:05:37. > :05:40.it or give around European funding. If you bid for competitive funds in
:05:41. > :05:44.the EU and this interchange project would qualify for those funds. If
:05:45. > :05:51.you win, but cannot draw the money down because Brexit, the Treasury
:05:52. > :05:56.said it will make up the money. The pot of money the Department of
:05:57. > :06:00.infrastructure want to bid for only opens in 2018. It will be in the
:06:01. > :06:05.teeth of the Brexit negotiations. Their fee would be, on that time
:06:06. > :06:09.frame, the EU might say they are not taking any new bits. So they
:06:10. > :06:12.couldn't have appeared in and couldn't win anything. Under those
:06:13. > :06:14.circumstances you cannot go to the Treasury and ask for the money
:06:15. > :06:20.because the Treasury will say, you never had it in the first place.
:06:21. > :06:24.There is massive uncertainty around it. That is the issue, the amount of
:06:25. > :06:29.uncertainty and the fact they may not get these funds if they go
:06:30. > :06:36.through the process. Can they get it elsewhere? Yes, we need to look out
:06:37. > :06:40.for the Autumn Statement next month. The news around the Chancellor is he
:06:41. > :06:43.will announce infrastructure spending. A certain amount of that
:06:44. > :06:47.will flow to storm aren't automatically then it is up to storm
:06:48. > :06:52.want to decide what to do with it. If he goes big on infrastructure,
:06:53. > :06:56.whole lot of money could arrive at Stormont and this project could be
:06:57. > :07:01.back on the road easily. It is such a bottleneck, will it ever happen?
:07:02. > :07:05.This thing has planning and all the hoops have been jump through, it is
:07:06. > :07:09.just a question of the money and the executive, although it is not one of
:07:10. > :07:13.their five priority projects, they want to do this. Hopefully it will

:09:29. > :09:32.remained cordoned off today. The police say a 22-year-old man was
:09:33. > :09:36.shot in the leg and was the victim of a paramilitary style attack. He
:09:37. > :09:41.was said to have crawled 20 or 30 yards along the road for help,
:09:42. > :09:45.before the alarm was raised by a local resident. The victim told a
:09:46. > :09:51.Sinn Fein councillor he had been abducted from his home in Derry and
:09:52. > :09:56.brought to Dungiven before being shot. From my understanding, a young
:09:57. > :10:01.boy was abducted from his home in Derry. He was on his way to visit
:10:02. > :10:05.his father in hospital, who is seriously ill. We are in shock, it
:10:06. > :10:11.is a warning for everyone. It has to be condemned. It is the second time
:10:12. > :10:15.in a week there has been a shooting in Dungiven. Last Wednesday night
:10:16. > :10:19.several mass man approached the house and threatened a woman. There
:10:20. > :10:25.were a number of children in the house at the time. The gang then

:10:29. > :10:34.dangerous, they are a small man to, but they can cause problems for the
:10:35. > :10:38.wider society. We need to tackle that. Detectives have issued an

:10:42. > :10:49.anything suspicious or any unusual activity in and around Derry between

:13:03. > :13:06.the number of MPs by 50 and create constituencies
:13:07. > :13:08.that are the same size. The move would mean Northern Ireland
:13:09. > :13:11.would lose an MP and Belfast would go down from
:13:12. > :13:15.four seats to three. But could Conservative
:13:16. > :13:16.rebels sink these plans? Here is our Political
:13:17. > :13:30.Correspondent Stephen Walker. Under the boundary commission plans,
:13:31. > :13:34.new parliamentary seats would be created and Northern Ireland would
:13:35. > :13:40.have 17 MPs instead of 18. The moves have received much criticism. The
:13:41. > :13:42.boundaries themselves, quite frankly, our adult's dinner. Look
:13:43. > :13:47.what they have done in County Antrim. All they needed to do was
:13:48. > :13:51.lose one seat in Northern Ireland, there was already a blueprint in
:13:52. > :13:56.place for 17 seats. Then they have this monstrosity of a carve up. In
:13:57. > :14:01.Belfast there is strong opposition to the loss of the seat. Not only
:14:02. > :14:06.would we lose an MP, we would lose five assembly members at the next
:14:07. > :14:10.election and Belfast would be downgraded. We would create West
:14:11. > :14:14.Antrim. It is at Westminster where the arguments for change are now
:14:15. > :14:20.being played out. This is where the battle for the boundaries will be
:14:21. > :14:26.won or lost. And numbers are key. The Labour Party oppose the move.
:14:27. > :14:29.Since Theresa May has a small Commons majority, it would only take
:14:30. > :14:37.a handful of Conservative MPs to rebel and these plans could be in
:14:38. > :14:42.trouble. And a number of Tory MPs are unhappy. It is your politics, we
:14:43. > :14:47.are getting rid of the MEPs and the powers are going back to the UK
:14:48. > :14:51.Parliament after Brexit. Not much justification for reducing the
:14:52. > :14:56.number of MPs now. As things stand, the status quo is not acceptable. So
:14:57. > :15:04.as of today you would vote against? I would. But those behind those
:15:05. > :15:09.changes say they make sense. This is so important, it is not about
:15:10. > :15:14.individual MPs, it is about ensuring we have equal size constituencies
:15:15. > :15:18.and it represents the modern world. The public consultation about these
:15:19. > :15:22.changes is ongoing at this debate is far from over. It is clear those
:15:23. > :15:24.seeking reform still have a lot of persuading to do.
:15:25. > :15:27.You can see more on this on Tonight's The View programme
:15:28. > :15:40.Almost ?54 million was spent up to March of this year
:15:41. > :15:42.on the development of stadia in Belfast for rugby,

:15:46. > :15:58.Good evening. I am here to find out what work is involved in making
:15:59. > :16:05.grass-roots sport at this rugby club success. We are now seven years into
:16:06. > :16:09.a 10-year Stormont backed plan called Sport Matters. It is aimed at
:16:10. > :16:16.developing sport and recreation in Northern Ireland. We ask how much
:16:17. > :16:21.has been spent so far in grass-roots sport. The records have not been
:16:22. > :16:25.held for the culture, arts and leisure department, but since its
:16:26. > :16:32.formation in May, it is looking to spend ?10 million grass-roots sport.
:16:33. > :16:36.Here, the Larne Vikings is a mini rugby club. It is self financing,
:16:37. > :16:43.caters for boys and girls of primary school age and is run by volunteers.
:16:44. > :16:49.Two of them join me now. Colin, what costs are involved in running a club
:16:50. > :16:54.like this? The biggest expense is insurance. The kids have to be
:16:55. > :17:00.covered. Probably over 50% of the fees is covering insurance for the
:17:01. > :17:05.kids. We have also got the kit to buy so they can play at tournaments
:17:06. > :17:11.and feel a part of the group and the team and they all dress the same.
:17:12. > :17:14.Neal, money doesn't come from central government, but also local
:17:15. > :17:18.government. Councils give a lot of money to many different sports, what
:17:19. > :17:24.has been your experience of getting that funding? To be honest, we are
:17:25. > :17:28.quite new to the funding aspect in the council area. We ran a festival
:17:29. > :17:41.to apply for medium grant funding and first attempt at it. It is a
:17:42. > :17:47.massive undertaking. We had massive thanks from the sports development
:17:48. > :17:50.minister, he pointed us in the right direction and we hope to look at
:17:51. > :17:57.coaches and equipment and other bits and pieces to try and get people out
:17:58. > :18:02.here to play. Thankfully, the children came out to do a special
:18:03. > :18:05.training session this evening, but what commitment is involved in
:18:06. > :18:09.running this club? From a coaching aspect, we need to have trained
:18:10. > :18:13.coaches and the Ulster Branch has given us great assistance with that
:18:14. > :18:18.none offers coaching courses on a regular basis. We also have
:18:19. > :18:22.commitment from parents and local businesses sponsor us and give us a
:18:23. > :18:26.bit of money towards our funding and running the club. There is a bit of
:18:27. > :18:30.commitment, training nights and organising matches. Social media
:18:31. > :18:34.makes it easier to contact people I get in touch a lot easier and
:18:35. > :18:39.organise these things. But you wouldn't do it if you didn't like
:18:40. > :18:42.it. You are all volunteers, but what do you, coaches and parents and
:18:43. > :18:48.particularly the children, get out of being part of this? I get a lot
:18:49. > :18:51.of enjoyment seeing them progress and their natural progression. Some
:18:52. > :18:56.good players coming through the system. The boys, what we try to
:18:57. > :19:01.instil into them our core values, like discipline and respect.
:19:02. > :19:04.Timekeeping is sadly lacking in society, rugby has been a great
:19:05. > :19:08.experience for me and hopefully I can pass that on to the kids and
:19:09. > :19:12.they can get the same enjoyment I did as a player and coach. Great
:19:13. > :19:17.inspiration, hopefully they will go on to greater and bigger things. Can

:19:24. > :19:29.our condolences on to the Foley family at this time and Munster. It
:19:30. > :19:35.has been a tough time for them. Our condolences go out to them at this
:19:36. > :19:39.time. About 100 children turn out for mini rugby here in Larne most
:19:40. > :19:45.weekends. We would like to hear how your grass-roots clubs are getting
:19:46. > :19:54.on. Look at our Facebook page and add your opinion there. Back to you.

:23:20. > :23:26.in November, do a bit of a trial run and see if I like it. He aims to
:23:27. > :23:30.fight half a dozen times in 2017. Las Vegas and Ireland are on the
:23:31. > :23:36.itinerary. But his Debbie will come in New York City where he will top
:23:37. > :23:43.the bill. I can't remember the last debit and who topped their own bill.
:23:44. > :23:49.It is very special and put it to be Madison Square Garden on Saint
:23:50. > :23:51.Patrick Day, is amazing. That is when and where the next chapter
:23:52. > :23:52.begins. He'll be in MotoGP action
:23:53. > :23:54.in Australia this weekend, but on a recent visit home
:23:55. > :23:57.it was back to school The Toomebridge man was a special
:23:58. > :24:00.guest at Taylorstown community play group outside Moneyglass
:24:01. > :24:15.where he was put through his paces He is used to position, but whilst
:24:16. > :24:20.back home, Eugene Laverty is on two wheels of a different variety. The
:24:21. > :24:22.Moto GP racer was the star attraction for these kids, just
:24:23. > :24:29.weeks after making the difficult decision to go back to the world
:24:30. > :24:34.Superbike championship. It was difficult because I had moved to
:24:35. > :24:42.MotoGP, put in two seasons of hard work and I wanted to continue that.
:24:43. > :24:49.But I had to be realistic. It became an easier decision then, because I
:24:50. > :24:55.needed to get winning races again. A tough call for Eugene Laverty... But
:24:56. > :25:02.a big boost for the championship. He will go head-to-head with the
:25:03. > :25:06.current world champion. It is great for Northern Ireland to have two
:25:07. > :25:10.riders who will be competing together. Johnny is already there,
:25:11. > :25:14.he is a world champion and looks on course to be world champion again. I
:25:15. > :25:19.have to step in and try to challenge him. I am not the only guy, I think
:25:20. > :25:24.everybody else is trying to chase him down. The rivalry is one to look
:25:25. > :25:26.forward to, but there is plenty of time to have fun before the serious
:25:27. > :25:43.stuff starts. Typical quiet autumnal day. We did
:25:44. > :25:47.have some patchy grass fog and mist and fog. But once the sun got up, it
:25:48. > :25:52.really did clear the mist and fog. Quite pleasant in many areas. Cloud
:25:53. > :25:56.as well, particularly this over the East which lingered into the
:25:57. > :25:58.afternoon. Beneath that, not that unpleasant, the brightness was
:25:59. > :26:03.coming through the cloud and there was a few glimmers of sunshine as
:26:04. > :26:08.well. We head into deceiving, not a bad end to the day. Variable cloud
:26:09. > :26:11.and clear spells. For part of the North and east in particular, those
:26:12. > :26:15.clear spells could be holding throughout the night. Rural areas in
:26:16. > :26:20.these spots good season patches of grass frost Ansah mist and fog
:26:21. > :26:24.patches. 6 degrees in towns and probably part of the West. Maybe
:26:25. > :26:30.staying frost free because we will see increasing amount of cloud.
:26:31. > :26:34.Tomorrow, many will see some cloudy skies, still mainly dry but because
:26:35. > :26:38.of the cloud, I don't think the mist and fog will be quite as widespread
:26:39. > :26:44.as it was this morning. Look at this lovely scene. There will be some of
:26:45. > :26:49.it around, but because of the cloud it will lift quite quickly. We could
:26:50. > :26:53.see a couple of showers popping up towards the West, due to a nearby
:26:54. > :26:57.weather fronts but it won't amount to a great deal. Into the afternoon
:26:58. > :27:01.in particular, hopefully bright spells developing again, especially
:27:02. > :27:04.towards the North. By that stage towards the east and south-east, you
:27:05. > :27:09.might get the odd shower but you will be unlucky to catch one of
:27:10. > :27:13.those. Through tomorrow night, dry, clear spells so we are looking at a
:27:14. > :27:18.frost and fog in the countryside. Towns around five or 6 degrees.
:27:19. > :27:22.Shall start creeping towards these coast later, so they will be
:27:23. > :27:26.drifting inland on Saturday for a time. A brighter day once though
:27:27. > :27:30.showers fade away. Plenty of sunshine. Probably the better day of
:27:31. > :27:32.the weekend. More cloud and breeze on Sunday, but still mainly dry.
