Good evening. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
A man in his 20s is being treated in hospital after being seriously | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
assaulted in West Belfast in the early hours of yesterday. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
The police say he was at a house party in Wauchope Court off | 0:00:14 | 0:00:18 | |
Roden Street before the attack. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
Sinn Fein's National Chairperson has accused the First Minister | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
of unvarnished arrogance regarding the significance | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
of the political crisis over the renewable heat scandal. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:32 | |
Declan Kearney said the political process is being dragged | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
towards an unprecedented tipping point as a result of | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
the DUP's behaviour. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:42 | |
He has called for Arlene Foster to step aside to allow | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
an independent investigation to be held into the controversial scheme. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:52 | |
Three vehicles have been destroyed and a house damaged in a series | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
of arson attacks in Holywood. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
The attacks were in East Link, Abbey Ring and Abbey Place | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
in the early hours of New Year's Day. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
A van, a people carrier and a car were set alight | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
between 3:15am and 4am. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
The police say they are investigating a link | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
between all of the incidents. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
Two men arrested in connection with an attack in Portrush | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
in the early hours of yesterday morning have been released on bail. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
A 44-year-old man suffered a suspected broken arm | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
in the assault in the Dhu Varren Park area. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
A 69-year-old man was treated in hospital for cuts to his head. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:31 | |
Windows of a house and a car were also damaged. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
The Tyrone Gaelic Football manager Mickey Harte has said the GAA | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
could stop playing the Irish national anthem and flying | 0:01:38 | 0:01:43 | |
the tricolour at matches when, as he put it, "the time is right." | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
The GAA's president has said changes could come in the future as part | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
of an "agreed Ireland." | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
Mickey Harte was speaking to the BBCs Talkback programme. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
Life changes, things move on. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
There was a time in the '70s when you were not allowed to play, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
in adverted commas, foreign games and play in the GAA, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
so that has changed. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
There were times when the police force from this part of the world | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
were not allowed to play. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:15 | |
These things changed over time, but they have to change | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
when the time is right. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
Five students from Zambia have received diplomas in computing | 0:02:20 | 0:02:25 | |
with the help of tutors who were thousands of miles away | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
at South West College in Omagh. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
The students used a video link with the college | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
to do their studies, but made the journey | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
to County Tyrone to collect their diplomas in person, | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
as our South West Reporter Julian Fowler reports. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
A graduation photo to cherish. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
These five students from Zambia had been studying IT for the last four | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
years and have achieved their Level 4 Diploma in Computing | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
and Systems Development. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:56 | |
This is where they study - a classroom at Fatima | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
Girls Secondary School, in Ndola in northern Zambia. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:03 | |
Meanwhile, their tutors are 5000 miles away in the Virtual | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
Learning Centre in Omagh. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
Everybody told us at the start that this would never work, | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
that the challenges were too great and that we couldn't do it. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
But we have done it. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:15 | |
The students have persevered through significant challenges - | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
drought, lack of electricity, walking through the rainy season, | 0:03:17 | 0:03:23 | |
and they have achieved so much and we are so proud of them. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:29 | |
20 students began the course four years ago, and though only | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
five have graduated, it has given them new life skills. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:38 | |
They appreciate this opportunity that has been given to them. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
This is a big achievement, because by their education | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
and even this graduation they are going to | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
touch so many lives. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:48 | |
The computer equipment and internet connection in Zambia | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
was provided by a charity. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
They will earn their living and they will keep their families, | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
and that's the key to the whole thing. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
And they'll influence an awful lot of people to do something similar | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
to what they have done themselves, and that's the benefit. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
It may be small in numbers, five, but this will multiply. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:09 | |
It can be difficult for students in Zambia to fund further studies | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
after leaving school. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
These graduates hope to teach or get jobs in industry. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
I really never imagined it. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:23 | |
It's so unreal, I can say. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:24 | |
We are just really, really proud and happy to be here. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:29 | |
It's a wonderful moment. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
Patrick Chingaipe. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:32 | |
APPLAUSE. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
As they collected their diplomas, they were given loud applause | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
from the other graduates. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
The five Zambian students have been on a long journey | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
to get to this ceremony, and there is a great sense of pride | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
in their achievement. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:56 | |
The National Museum of Ireland has appealed to whoever anonymously sent | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
in archaeological discoveries to come forward. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:08 | |
This is one of the National Museum's four sites. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
It is next to the Dail. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
People visit each week to look at the collections, | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
covering different ages, including the Bronze Age | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
and the Viking periods. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:28 | |
Recently, they received four items sent anonymously with these | 0:05:28 | 0:05:33 | |
letters without a postmark, addressed to the History Museum | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
rather than the National Museum. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
It gives rise to a suspicion that the sender may not have been | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
living in Ireland for very long. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
The items include two Bronze Age axes, a Viking strap end that | 0:05:45 | 0:05:55 | |
originated in Scandinavia, probably Norway, and very rare | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
in Ireland, and a small, twisted ring which may be linked | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
to the strap end. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
The museum believes the items were probably discovered in at least | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
three different sites. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
There is also a suspicion that the artefacts were found | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
using a metal detector, even though it is illegal | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
to excavate items with a metal detector without a licence. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
The finder may not have known that, especially | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
if he or she is from abroad. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
But staff would like whoever discover the artefacts to come | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
forward, to let them know the circumstances and whereabouts | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
of the finds in order to help them build up the picture of Irish | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
history and prehistory. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:46 | |
Road conditions in some parts earlier today were described | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
as "treacherous" by the police and there were six crashes | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
in the Ballymena area. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
Let's hear if the cold weather is set to continue | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
with Angie Phillips. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
Hello, good evening. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
It's been a fairly settled start to the new year so far, | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
if not a bit on the cold side with some wintry showers. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
Not so much wintry showers in the forecast this week. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:08 | |
Some rain, not an awful lot of it though until we get | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
to the end of the week. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:12 | |
Variable cloud, so some bright or sunny spells. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
It will continue to feel quite chilly though for a good part | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
of the week as well. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:18 | |
And certainly quite cold in places for a time this evening. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
Clear spells inland and towards the south. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
The temperatures here dropping close to freezing, | 0:07:23 | 0:07:24 | |
even slightly below. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
That will lead to some frost. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
Where we have a few showers, maybe some icy patches as well. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
But only temporarily. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
We have more cloud edging its way in through the night. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
As it does so, the temperatures will start to rise a little, | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
but we will also get more in the way of rain or drizzle | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
pushing in as well. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:42 | |
Into tomorrow, if you are heading back to work it's a cloudy day. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
You will get some patchy rain around, particularly but not | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
exclusively across parts of the North and West. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
A bit more breeze bringing a few spots further inland. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
But for parts of Scotland, particularly the north | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
and North West, it's a wet and a windy day tomorrow. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
Elsewhere a few spots moving into northern England, North Wales. | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
Other than that the rest of England and Wales and the Republic | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
of Ireland largely dry after a frosty start. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
The best sunshine though towards the south and perhaps more | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
sheltered parts of the East. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
For Northern Ireland, plenty of cloud around | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
I think come the afternoon. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
And as I mentioned still some bits and pieces and rain running | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
through on the breeze. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
But mainly light and patchy, so there will be dry spells, | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
the best of those likely towards the south east. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
Temperatures a little bit better than today. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:26 | |
Seven or eight Celsius, but with more of a breeze, | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
particularly around the coast, it will continue to feel quite cold. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
Into tomorrow night, we still have the cloud, | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
patchy drizzle, the breeze, so it should be frost free. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
We also have a fairly weak weather front moving in from the North. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
That will bring a narrow band of rain south-westwards | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
through tomorrow night. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
That then clears away the south-west on Wednesday, | 0:08:44 | 0:08:48 | |
so a mainly dry and bright day following in behind that, | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
with highs of around seven or eight Celsius. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
The breeze easing down as well. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
There is off to a frosty start, mainly dry, but some rain on the way | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
for Thursday night into Friday, but a little bit milder. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
Our next television news is at 10:20pm tonight. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:07 | |
Good evening. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:11 | |
Join Alexander Armstrong | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 |
