:00:48. > :00:50.about Northern Ireland, weeks after the group he runs is

:00:51. > :00:59.School finances - more details on which ones are worst off.

:01:00. > :01:06.And Belfast, is it heading to watch the status of a holiday resort?

:01:07. > :01:08.Also on the programme, David Bowie's lyrics reworked,

:01:09. > :01:10.as Irish musicians pay tribute to him.

:01:11. > :01:12.The funeral of Munster rugby coach Anthony Foley,

:01:13. > :01:15.who died suddenly last week takes place in County Clare.

:01:16. > :01:17.And bar one or two changes, the weekend is still looking

:01:18. > :01:27.mainly dry and settled. Join me for the forecast.

:01:28. > :01:31.The police have described the murder of a man in West Belfast last night

:01:32. > :01:38.They say they are keeping an open mind on why 43-year

:01:39. > :01:41.old Joe Reilly was targeted at his home in Poleglass.

:01:42. > :01:59.It is the second shooting in the district within the space of a week.

:02:00. > :02:01.The shooting happened just after eight o'clock in Poleglass.

:02:02. > :02:03.The victim, a father of one, Joe Reilly,

:02:04. > :02:08.It is understood a friend of his in the house at the time

:02:09. > :02:13.Neighbours rushed over to try and help the injured man.

:02:14. > :02:15.Others chased the two gunmen, who fled through

:02:16. > :02:35.It is really difficult to describe what happened last night. It was

:02:36. > :02:39.once such a senseless and barbaric are not adequate. This was a

:02:40. > :02:49.cold-blooded summary execution of a man in his own house. Today,

:02:50. > :02:57.investigators are still trying to work out the motive for the model?

:02:58. > :03:01.It is believed that Joe Reilly as minor criminal convictions, but they

:03:02. > :03:07.are not believed to be related. Last week, there was another model in the

:03:08. > :03:14.district, described by police as a paramilitary attack. It is dreadful

:03:15. > :03:19.that this man has been killed in the week and his family are going

:03:20. > :03:28.through this. But the people in this community are suffering. In a joint

:03:29. > :03:35.statement, the First Minister and Deputy First Minister said.

:03:36. > :03:46.Whose short Joe Reilly dead and avoid remains unclear? The police

:03:47. > :03:50.CVR keeping an open mind at the moment. They want to hear from

:03:51. > :03:56.anyone in the area at the time, particularly three children who were

:03:57. > :03:57.playing nearby, as it is believed the gunmen may have run straight

:03:58. > :04:02.past. The head of an organisation

:04:03. > :04:04.which recently got nearly ?2 million of public money has

:04:05. > :04:06.launched a foul-mouthed attack on the government, claiming it does

:04:07. > :04:09.not care about Northern Ireland. The SDLP has criticised

:04:10. > :04:11.the remarks by Dee Stitt, The DUP has said, while it will work

:04:12. > :04:16.with people willing to move on, words and actions need to go

:04:17. > :04:18.hand in hand. Here is our political

:04:19. > :04:41.correspondent, Gareth Gordon. This is the headquarters of Charter

:04:42. > :04:53.NI, a community-based organisation. And this is Dee Stitt pictured at an

:04:54. > :05:01.event last month, ahead of the ?1.6 million grant for Charter NI the for

:05:02. > :05:05.future investment in the company. No video has emerged in which he is

:05:06. > :05:15.asked if the British government is doing enough to tackle violence?

:05:16. > :05:25.People she paramilitary groupings as a negative. Busy people still being

:05:26. > :05:30.involved in drugs, crime and racketeering. But these people are

:05:31. > :05:39.doing brilliant work for community development. They are our first line

:05:40. > :05:45.of security. We are prepared to defend ourselves from anybody. He

:05:46. > :05:49.may know how to defend himself is more questions about his suitability

:05:50. > :05:57.to hold a leading role in the organisation which receives so much

:05:58. > :06:04.money. I was shocked. I thought the tone of his voice was disturbing. Is

:06:05. > :06:07.it appropriate for the leader of a community organisation to be getting

:06:08. > :06:12.millions of public money to be issuing these comments. However, the

:06:13. > :06:24.Democratic Unionist party said. In a recent statement, Dee Stitt

:06:25. > :06:42.said. The emergence of this video will

:06:43. > :06:46.increase pressure put on him on those who have backed him.

:06:47. > :06:48.It was announced this afternoon that the largest teaching union,

:06:49. > :06:50.the NAS-UWT, plans strike action from the end of November.

:06:51. > :06:59.They are protesting about pay, workload and job losses.

:07:00. > :07:02.There was a warning recently that an increasing number of schools

:07:03. > :07:06.were set to move from the black into the red.

:07:07. > :07:08.Now new figures from the Education Authority show just

:07:09. > :07:10.how many schools are having financial problems,

:07:11. > :07:16.as our education correspondent Robbie Meredith reports.

:07:17. > :07:23.More schools are now struggling to balance the books. A number of

:07:24. > :07:31.secondary school some low in the red, many of them substantially.

:07:32. > :07:48.Here are some of the figures. Successful schools can still go into

:07:49. > :07:54.deficit but the head of the education authority said some may

:07:55. > :07:57.not be sustainable. Traditionally, the deficits have been funded by the

:07:58. > :08:03.education authority, but we cannot do that any more. It is very

:08:04. > :08:08.imperative that schools stay within budget and some of them will not be

:08:09. > :08:13.able to do that. The warning was repeated by the education minister.

:08:14. > :08:20.Schools can go on spending money they do not have. And if that

:08:21. > :08:24.happens to one school, that is a knock-on effect to others. One

:08:25. > :08:30.grammar school principal said a number of schools should be closed.

:08:31. > :08:39.It is clear from the information that 55% of the postprimary schools

:08:40. > :08:46.is unsustainable. Big decisions have to be made. More schools, especially

:08:47. > :08:50.payment is, are still in that light, some by large amounts, but the

:08:51. > :08:56.number in the deficit will increase again this year. With the education

:08:57. > :08:58.budget shrinking and strike action plans, these are challenging times

:08:59. > :09:00.in the classroom. There is plenty still to come

:09:01. > :09:03.on the programme, including a plan to boost farm incomes

:09:04. > :09:29.and a better environment. The economy minister Simon Hamilton

:09:30. > :09:31.has vowed to fight to save jobs at Bombardier in Belfast, after it

:09:32. > :09:34.emerged that its parent company is cutting around 10%

:09:35. > :09:36.of its global workforce. The impact on its Northern Ireland

:09:37. > :09:39.operation is not yet clear. The company has made a series

:09:40. > :09:50.of redundancies in recent years, Our financial correspondence joins

:09:51. > :09:57.me know. The chief executive says they could get the company back to

:09:58. > :10:05.profitability. But they are going to cut 6500 jobs worldwide, 10% of the

:10:06. > :10:13.total workforce. Do you have any idea we are that axe will fall? 2700

:10:14. > :10:19.of the jobs will be in the real weak division. None of that work is on

:10:20. > :10:24.bail first, the bulk of the jobs cannot affect Belfast. But the chief

:10:25. > :10:34.executive also said he intends to bring in people to work on projects

:10:35. > :10:40.which are in Belfast. It is possible they could lose some jobs, Beguine

:10:41. > :10:47.others. Still worrying time. What reaction has been from the

:10:48. > :10:50.workforce? Yes, there are worries. Especially because of the problems

:10:51. > :10:58.the company has experienced in recent times. I hope we can bring

:10:59. > :11:04.clarity around this as quickly as possible. I am determined to fight

:11:05. > :11:11.for the country to ensure reprieve preserve as many of these jobs as we

:11:12. > :11:16.possibly can. It is at the head of a big ear space industry that we have

:11:17. > :11:21.here. In terms of when job losses become clear, we will not know until

:11:22. > :11:26.after the consultation, which may come just before Christmas.

:11:27. > :11:29.A County Down GP accused of committing fraud by abusing

:11:30. > :11:31.his position to obtain a large quantity of prescription drugs

:11:32. > :11:33.for his own personal use is to stand trial.

:11:34. > :11:36.57-year-old Thomas Egerton, of Station Road in Holywood, appeared

:11:37. > :11:37.at Ards Magistrates Court, accused of possessing painkillers

:11:38. > :11:40.and tranquillisers - Class A and Class C drugs.

:11:41. > :11:42.The GP is also accused of breaching a number of drug regulations.

:11:43. > :11:45.He was released on bail and will reappear in court in December.

:11:46. > :11:48.A person died in an incident on the M2 near Sandyknowes this morning.

:11:49. > :11:52.Traffic has been diverted away from the scene for most of the day

:11:53. > :11:54.and the south-bound carriageway is closed, as the police

:11:55. > :11:59.Masked men attacked two houses in the Creggan area

:12:00. > :12:01.of Londonderry last night. Windows and doors were damaged

:12:02. > :12:02.in both properties at Ballymagowan Avenue.

:12:03. > :12:11.Farming can, at times, affect water quality and cause

:12:12. > :12:15.So, can you grow agriculture, as well as improve the environment?

:12:16. > :12:18.That was the question asked of an expert working group.

:12:19. > :12:20.Our Agriculture and Environment Correspondent Conor Macauley has

:12:21. > :12:34.been looking at their report, which was published today.

:12:35. > :12:47.James bone is in the minority of foreigners. He tests the soil to see

:12:48. > :12:54.what it does and does not need. I would be pleased with that. Just one

:12:55. > :12:57.in ten do this, but a high-tech version of this kind taking a sample

:12:58. > :13:04.of all the country learned is at the heart of the report. People would

:13:05. > :13:13.get precise information about the soil on the farms and in turn, only

:13:14. > :13:21.adds it needs. This would negate the effect of possible damage to nearby

:13:22. > :13:24.water wheeze. Knowing when we need nutrient and knowing when we do not

:13:25. > :13:31.and pitting on what is needed and not putting on what is not needed.

:13:32. > :13:35.The problem to protect the likes of water quality as we have been

:13:36. > :13:47.putting it on when we do not need it. It would also be a fairly

:13:48. > :13:54.important habitat for forms and animals. There can be environmental

:13:55. > :14:01.spin offs. James used to cut their cages, but no he has allowed them to

:14:02. > :14:10.rise to twice the Hague, which means a lot more food for birds. If we can

:14:11. > :14:13.maintain their habitats and also increase them, it is a win-win

:14:14. > :14:20.situation for everyone. The controversy could be the move away

:14:21. > :14:25.from enforcement to advice for those who have pollution problems. The

:14:26. > :14:30.current system of automatic fines Seagate creates a climate of fear

:14:31. > :14:34.which prevents people seeking help. Although there will be repeat

:14:35. > :14:36.sanctions for those who repeat offences.

:14:37. > :14:39.Coming up before seven, a look ahead to a big weekend

:14:40. > :14:42.Charles Piutau has recovered from concussion and will start

:14:43. > :14:49.tomorrow's must-win match in Belfast.

:14:50. > :14:50.Sunday trading hours in Belfast could be extended.

:14:51. > :14:53.It would happen if the city officially became a holiday resort.

:14:54. > :14:56.A plan to do that has passed the first stage at the Council

:14:57. > :14:58.and now, the public will be consulted.

:14:59. > :15:17.They have had holiday themed days in Belfast today before, but what was

:15:18. > :15:24.previously described as a bit of fun. If the city has legal status as

:15:25. > :15:30.a holiday resort, large shops can apply to open on Sunday mornings and

:15:31. > :15:35.it would potentially help the tourist industry. Belfast as a

:15:36. > :15:41.holiday resort. Really? Even some councillors admit it is a little

:15:42. > :15:45.over the top, but it is the phrase used in the legislation which would

:15:46. > :15:51.allow extra Sunday trading to take place. Before the council makes a

:15:52. > :15:54.final decision, a public consultation as planned. There is

:15:55. > :16:01.some concern about the impact it could have on workplaces having

:16:02. > :16:07.longer hours opening on Sunday. But most people seem to see the

:16:08. > :16:11.benefits. I think that is it for change in the council know. We

:16:12. > :16:20.recently opened the City Hall up on a Sunday. That has been a great

:16:21. > :16:26.success. So, Sinn Fein says yes to extra Sunday training, but what do

:16:27. > :16:33.the Democratic Unionist party see? I am not so sure our party would fully

:16:34. > :16:38.be in favour of it. Historically, it has been the stance of the party,

:16:39. > :16:44.never on Sunday. I think we have moved about whether times. If the

:16:45. > :16:46.plan does get the go-ahead, it could be in place by the middle of next

:16:47. > :16:48.year. The work of singer David Bowie,

:16:49. > :16:51.who died earlier this year, will be remembered in a very

:16:52. > :16:53.unique way this evening. Among the performers is Liam O

:16:54. > :16:55.Maonlai. Our Dublin correspondent Shane

:16:56. > :17:18.Harrison has been to the rehearsals. MUSIC. Today, and the speaker which

:17:19. > :17:22.overlooks Dublin Bay, there will be a celebration of the music of the

:17:23. > :17:24.late David Berry with a difference. His songs will be performed a

:17:25. > :17:42.knavish. Here is the lead singer of the

:17:43. > :17:47.hothouse flowers. Liam has his own private reasons for wanting to do

:17:48. > :17:58.another strong from the young Americans Albom. It introduced me to

:17:59. > :18:07.his music. There is one particular song we perform from it. It has a

:18:08. > :18:09.special connection for me. We are doing songs from very early end as

:18:10. > :18:24.Kerry breakthrough. Breakthrough to later material.

:18:25. > :18:27.Although there are no dates for the musicians, they are hoping to take

:18:28. > :18:36.the short on tour in the not too distant future.

:18:37. > :18:38.Tim Wheeler, the lead singer of local band Ash,

:18:39. > :18:40.has received an honorary doctorate from the Open University.

:18:41. > :18:43.The award was made for his services to the music industry

:18:44. > :18:45.and for his charity work in raising awareness of Alzheimers,

:18:46. > :18:48.At the ceremony, in the Waterfront Hall in Belfast,

:18:49. > :18:50.the singer-songwriter told the audience music that

:18:51. > :18:59.Munster Rugby bade farewell to a giant of the game today.

:19:00. > :19:01.Stephen Watson is here with this evening's sport.

:19:02. > :19:04.The funeral of Anthony Foley took place in his native Clare today.

:19:05. > :19:06.The former Munster head coach died suddenly from a heart

:19:07. > :19:08.condition while in Paris for a European Champions Cup

:19:09. > :19:12.Players and coaches from Munster and Ireland past and present

:19:13. > :19:33.were among the many to attend. Mark Sidebottom reports.

:19:34. > :19:44.From daybreak, the clouds descended on Killahoe. The loss still

:19:45. > :19:54.unfathomable and the short sorrel shear. At noon, the Church bill of

:19:55. > :20:02.St Flannan's Church told. Among the mourners, lawyers, Pearce,

:20:03. > :20:11.colleagues. Addressing his wife during the service, the priest said

:20:12. > :20:24.you stood for true love and how good you were together. She then spoke.

:20:25. > :20:28.Anthony was made to salt meat. We were perfect together. Former greats

:20:29. > :20:37.of Irish rugby then can his coffin to the nearby graveyard. His two

:20:38. > :20:48.boys close behind. Those present broke into spontaneous applause.

:20:49. > :20:50.Tomorrow, the war gather, free of his number eight jersey will be

:20:51. > :20:52.retired for the day. At the captain's run

:20:53. > :20:54.today, the Ulster squad observed a minutes silence

:20:55. > :20:57.in memory of Anthony Foley. Munster, of course, in European cup

:20:58. > :20:59.action against Glasgow tomorrow, Charles Piutau and Ruan Pienaar have

:21:00. > :21:20.both been passed fit The coach of Exeter has been equally

:21:21. > :21:30.disappointed with his team. He has asked them for a angry response. The

:21:31. > :21:37.have a good strong team at set pieces and that kicking. We have got

:21:38. > :21:41.to respond to that. We have to do something for the faithful who

:21:42. > :21:45.support will wheel. It was disappointing last week, we know

:21:46. > :21:49.that. We are going to put on something special.

:21:50. > :21:52.One of the ties of the weekend in the Irish League sees

:21:53. > :21:53.in-form Ballymena United travel to Glenavon.

:21:54. > :21:55.David Jeffrey's Ballymena side now unbeaten in all competitions

:21:56. > :22:07.And Glenavon manager Gary Hamilton knows what to expect.

:22:08. > :22:18.They have got to front players who have been scoring goals. They have

:22:19. > :22:21.done a really good job. Even when they haven't been running in their

:22:22. > :22:28.recent years, they have always had the best for words in the country.

:22:29. > :22:30.We will have to take any chances which come along.

:22:31. > :22:32.Loughguile and Slaughtneil meet in Armagh, in the Ulster club

:22:33. > :22:36.It is a repeat of the 2013 final, in which the Antrim champions came

:22:37. > :22:40.Back then, Johnny Campbell was the club captain.

:22:41. > :22:57.It is going to be a massive test. They have won their rate to be the

:22:58. > :23:01.and maybe this should have think that they should have won a title

:23:02. > :23:03.before. It is going to be a massive game.

:23:04. > :23:05.The match is live on BBC Radio Ulster,

:23:06. > :23:08.The biggest short circuit motorcycling event of the year,

:23:09. > :23:10.The Sunflower Trophy, takes place at Bishopscourt.

:23:11. > :23:26.Here is Angie, with your weekend weather forecast.

:23:27. > :23:32.Generally speaking, we will be sticking with this rather settled

:23:33. > :23:38.pattern we have been experiencing recently. Some changes coming on

:23:39. > :23:39.Sunday, with this area of low pressure pushing in from the

:23:40. > :23:54.Atlantic. Apart from a few scattered showers,

:23:55. > :24:01.think should remain fairly dry. As you can see, this lovely sunrise

:24:02. > :24:07.today. In the West, there were some afternoon showers. That is going to

:24:08. > :24:13.do not make it we very much farther inland. It should push off towards

:24:14. > :24:25.the north. Dry overnight, with clear spells. Low temperatures of 6-7dC in

:24:26. > :24:32.the countryside. Tomorrow, some brightness, but mixed in with a few

:24:33. > :24:38.showers. There is a reversal of fortunes from today. The East will

:24:39. > :24:42.see the majority of the showers, unlike today. These will break up as

:24:43. > :24:49.we go into the afternoon. Some brightness developing. Parts of the

:24:50. > :24:57.West being completely dry. That will also see the best of the sunshine.

:24:58. > :25:05.High temperatures of 11-12dC. Tomorrow, if you're heading for the

:25:06. > :25:08.rugby, best wrap-up. Temperatures in single figures.
