:00:14. > :00:16.This is BBC Newsline and these are the headlines

:00:17. > :00:21.A plan to bring back a single transfer test for primary school

:00:22. > :00:30.children who currently face up to five days of exams.

:00:31. > :00:34.There was a shortened version of that and one version, it would help

:00:35. > :00:37.everyone. -- if there was. Five men walk free from court

:00:38. > :00:40.after kidnapping a cattle dealer and threatening to cut

:00:41. > :00:48.off his fingers. Arlene Foster and Martin McGuinness

:00:49. > :00:49.did the interview but the RHI crisis prevented the appointment of a new

:00:50. > :00:51.head of the civil service. We meet the man who went

:00:52. > :01:02.into a burning house A man was sleeping on the bed and

:01:03. > :01:03.the flames were around him and his legs were on fire.

:01:04. > :01:05.We have a full round-up of the weekend sport -

:01:06. > :01:08.including a look back at Ireland's defeat of France

:01:09. > :01:11.And tomorrow is the last day of winter in the meteorological

:01:12. > :01:14.calendar, and appropriately we have some wintry weather.

:01:15. > :01:23.First to that plan to bring back a single transfer test

:01:24. > :01:29.BBC Newsline has been told that talks between the organisations

:01:30. > :01:33.behind the current two academic selection tests will

:01:34. > :01:41.The aim is to have a common test in place by November 2019.

:01:42. > :01:43.The vast majority of local grammar schools use one or both

:01:44. > :01:49.Our education correspondent Robbie Meredith reports.

:01:50. > :01:52.For many of these P7 children at Andrews Memorial Primary

:01:53. > :01:55.in Comber, the transfer tests have come and gone, but

:01:56. > :02:10.Hard, long. It took ages and there were lots of practice papers. We

:02:11. > :02:17.could get some tests to keep going over the summer. The principal wants

:02:18. > :02:21.to see that testing system streamlined. Three Saturdays and

:02:22. > :02:24.potentially another one if they do blood tests and then another

:02:25. > :02:31.familiarisation day. When you have that over the course of the autumn

:02:32. > :02:33.term -- if there was a shortened version of that and just one test it

:02:34. > :02:35.would help everyone. A document drawn up for

:02:36. > :02:37.the Education Minister Peter Weir obtained by the BBC suggests

:02:38. > :02:40.what a common test could look like. Children could sit

:02:41. > :02:44.three test papers, Two papers will be in

:02:45. > :02:48.multiple choice format. The third paper will contain writing

:02:49. > :02:51.and maths exercises. The three papers could be

:02:52. > :02:53.taken on a single day. For a single test to happen, though,

:02:54. > :02:57.two significant hurdles AQE charge a fee for entry

:02:58. > :03:01.to their test, PPTC don't - The tests are also very

:03:02. > :03:18.different, so what format They are different types of tests.

:03:19. > :03:22.They are examined across a different number of days. There are

:03:23. > :03:27.significant differences as far as that is concerned. That still

:03:28. > :03:28.exists. We are going to have to be very resolved and very determined if

:03:29. > :03:30.we are to overcome those things. It's significant that the testers

:03:31. > :03:32.are getting round the same table, but it'll be November 2019

:03:33. > :03:35.at the earliest before Five men have been given suspended

:03:36. > :03:44.sentences for their part in a kidnap Their trial heard that a cattle

:03:45. > :03:50.dealer was held captive by an armed gang in County Tyrone for five days

:03:51. > :03:53.over an alleged His father was told to pay

:03:54. > :04:00.?400,000 or his son's Our South West reporter Julian

:04:01. > :04:08.Fowler was at today's hearing. Paul Gogan, who is originally

:04:09. > :04:10.from County Meath, thought he was coming to Northern Ireland

:04:11. > :04:13.to see a meat factory. Instead the cattle

:04:14. > :04:14.dealer was kidnapped at gunpoint and held here -

:04:15. > :04:18.in an old refrigerated shipping container at a motorsport

:04:19. > :04:22.track near Castlederg. The location is so remote the gang

:04:23. > :04:26.couldn't get a mobile signal. They put Paul Gogan

:04:27. > :04:28.in the boot of a car He was told to pay ?400,000

:04:29. > :04:36.or his son's fingers He replied, "Cut away,

:04:37. > :04:45."hung up and alerted Gardai. Paul Gogan was eventually released

:04:46. > :04:50.after ?100,000 was left in a hedge. He was accompanied on his trip

:04:51. > :04:52.by 59-year-old Robert He pleaded guilty to kidnapping,

:04:53. > :04:57.false imprisonment and blackmail. The judge said in an idiotic moment

:04:58. > :05:01.he had taken the law into his own hands to recover

:05:02. > :05:05.?200,000 he said he was owed - a debt which led to the collapse

:05:06. > :05:10.of his business and his marriage. The judge said he sold his soul

:05:11. > :05:13.to the devil when he contacted criminals in Dublin who in turn

:05:14. > :05:16.recruited some men from Omagh 44-year-old Patrick Noel McCaul

:05:17. > :05:23.from Slieveard Rise and 27-year-old Matthew McLean from Glenpark Road

:05:24. > :05:25.pleaded guilty to conspiracy 22-year-old Robert McLean

:05:26. > :05:31.from Deverney Park and Martin Arkinson,

:05:32. > :05:34.who's 21, from Ballycolman Estate in Strabane admitted assisting

:05:35. > :05:36.the blackmailers by buying food The judge said this was an unusual

:05:37. > :05:43.and indeed remarkable case. The victim and his family did not

:05:44. > :05:47.give evidence and the central players in the kidnap were not

:05:48. > :05:50.before the court. The five who admitted their role

:05:51. > :05:52.were given suspended prison sentences between 18 months

:05:53. > :06:02.and 2.5 years. Two 19-year-old men are still being

:06:03. > :06:05.questioned about the murder of a man Richard Miskelly, who was 24 years

:06:06. > :06:11.old, died after being assaulted He was found lying outside

:06:12. > :06:18.and died at the scene. We hear about a new initiative

:06:19. > :06:23.which is helping to break down A man in Londonderry has been

:06:24. > :06:33.describing how he went into a burning house

:06:34. > :06:36.to rescue his neighbours, His actions have been praised

:06:37. > :06:42.by the Fire and Rescue Service. It says the incident underlines

:06:43. > :06:44.the importance of having Here's our North West

:06:45. > :06:50.reporter Keiron Tourish. The fire was discovered

:06:51. > :06:52.in Altcar Park in Galliagh around A local man heard a smoke alarm

:06:53. > :06:57.while on his way home with his girlfriend and entered

:06:58. > :07:10.the burning house. A man was sitting on the bed and the

:07:11. > :07:14.flames were all around him and his legs were starting to get on fire.

:07:15. > :07:19.His wheelchair was just outside the room so I managed to get off the bed

:07:20. > :07:23.and put him on the wheelchair. We got him outside in the backyard and

:07:24. > :07:27.asked him was anybody else in there and he shuddered started -- shouting

:07:28. > :07:30.his partner's name and the house was getting a bit worse and filled with

:07:31. > :07:36.black smoke. I couldn't really see her. I severed her name and then I

:07:37. > :07:42.heard a soft voice -- shouted her name. Shuddered help. The warm or

:07:43. > :07:48.yellow flames. I got to see her again and she just crawled towards

:07:49. > :07:52.me and we'd got over towards me and I managed to grab her arm and pull

:07:53. > :07:56.her out. Eyewitnesses say the house was engulfed in flames. The couple

:07:57. > :08:00.who were taken from it were treated in Altnagelvin Hospital before being

:08:01. > :08:02.transferred to be Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast.

:08:03. > :08:06.They're now said to be in a stable condition.

:08:07. > :08:08.The BBC understands the Renewable Heating crisis

:08:09. > :08:11.prevented the completion of the appointment of one

:08:12. > :08:14.of the most important posts in the devolved government,

:08:15. > :08:17.the head of the Northern Ireland Civil Service -

:08:18. > :08:23.Arlene Foster and Martin McGuinness interviewed candidates last year,

:08:24. > :08:26.but as our business correspondent Julian O'Neill reports, the

:08:27. > :08:38.The head of the Civil Service acts as the principle policy advisor

:08:39. > :08:43.A failure to fill the job means this man, Sir Malcolm McKibbin, has

:08:44. > :08:47.temporarily put off his retirement to remain in charge of 23,000

:08:48. > :08:55.officials in government departments and manage a budget of ?11 billion.

:08:56. > :08:57.It is a powerful position at the heart of devolution,

:08:58. > :09:00.but replacing him has been delayed and the Executive will likely

:09:01. > :09:09.Last November, Arlene Foster and Martin McGuinness

:09:10. > :09:12.together interviewed two short-listed candidates.

:09:13. > :09:18.They were given training in equality laws and an HR consultant

:09:19. > :09:22.sat in to ensure proper procedures were followed.

:09:23. > :09:26.The two men they interviewed were senior, experienced civil servants -

:09:27. > :09:31.Both had worked with Mrs Foster when she was Minister

:09:32. > :09:34.at the Department of Enterprise and each has accepted responsibility

:09:35. > :09:43.The BBC understands the interviews produced a winner,

:09:44. > :09:47.but as the fall-out from RHI created a crisis, no appointment was made

:09:48. > :09:53.during a seven-week period before the collapse of the Executive.

:09:54. > :09:57.The recruitment process stalled and is now clouded by uncertainty.

:09:58. > :10:04.Having politicised the appointment, it needs a First and Deputy First

:10:05. > :10:07.Minister to complete - and no-one is confident those

:10:08. > :10:10.posts will be filled quickly after the election.

:10:11. > :10:12.A further complication is that Michelle O'Neill,

:10:13. > :10:18.having replaced Mr McGuinness, was not part of the interview panel.

:10:19. > :10:21.The Executive office will not comment on what it said

:10:22. > :10:28.No-one knows what the outcome will be - and it might even be

:10:29. > :10:39.an issue a London minister has to address.

:10:40. > :10:42.It's emerged that during a power cut in parts of Belfast this afternoon

:10:43. > :10:45.there was a delay in one of the back-up generators starting

:10:46. > :10:48.The Belfast Trust says it's investigating how it happened

:10:49. > :10:52.and if it had any impact on patient care.

:10:53. > :10:55.A fault in the NIE transmission network cut power for a short time

:10:56. > :11:01.to 27,000 customers in South and West Belfast.

:11:02. > :11:08.Damage to underground cables led to a power cut

:11:09. > :11:10.in Londonderry as well today - around 10,000 NIE

:11:11. > :11:14.The police have been told by the Appeal Court that they must

:11:15. > :11:19.disclose documents relating to two UVF murder attempts in the 1990s.

:11:20. > :11:22.The attacks were on a Catholic taxi driver from North Belfast ?

:11:23. > :11:24.57-year-old John Flynn - and it's alleged they were carried

:11:25. > :11:30.Mr Flynn survived and is suing the police, alleging collusion.

:11:31. > :11:32.The police admitted liability, but said providing the documents

:11:33. > :11:38.The Appeal Court today ruled the documents must be handed over

:11:39. > :11:44.The judges said it was hard to contemplate a more

:11:45. > :11:52.Sinn Fein's new leader at Stormont, Michelle O'Neill, says it's not fair

:11:53. > :11:57.to portray her as being in Gerry Adams' pocket.

:11:58. > :12:00.In the latest of our leader profiles in the run-up

:12:01. > :12:03.to the Assembly election, our Political Editor Mark Devenport

:12:04. > :12:06.accompanied Mrs O'Neill on the campaign trail last week

:12:07. > :12:11.in North Belfast just as Storm Doris was due to strike.

:12:12. > :12:13.Dark clouds are looming as Michelle O'Neill goes

:12:14. > :12:16.on walkabout on Belfast's Antrim Road.

:12:17. > :12:19.The Sinn Fein leader was born Michelle Doris,

:12:20. > :12:24.so she sees the funny side of a storm named after her.

:12:25. > :12:30.Do you see that I am Doris to my own name?

:12:31. > :12:35.Apparently so, it makes for a chuckle.

:12:36. > :12:38.The 40-year-old leader admits to having to rely on others to keep

:12:39. > :12:45.a track of her blizzard of appointments - this

:12:46. > :12:49.walkabout follows a session with business leaders and a visit

:12:50. > :12:54.She's not seeing much of her family, but as we take a break at a coffee

:12:55. > :13:01.shop she insists she's enjoying the campaign.

:13:02. > :13:06.Thank God I have got good people around me to try and keep the right

:13:07. > :13:10.but it is trying to be everywhere and get engaged with people. It is

:13:11. > :13:12.crucial and it is key but that is appetite out there. People want to

:13:13. > :13:16.talk to you about how they see things and how they see the future

:13:17. > :13:19.so it is all good stuff that has to be done and it is right to be out

:13:20. > :13:24.and engaging to stop it is what politics is about all year round. I

:13:25. > :13:29.took over about six years ago so it has been a baptism of fire setting

:13:30. > :13:32.from a generation to six weeks ago. People want to talk about their

:13:33. > :13:36.rights and the delivery and how we deliver in politics for them as

:13:37. > :13:40.individuals. The DUP have characterised you as being in Gerry

:13:41. > :13:44.Adams ultimate pocket, is that the? I think they are attempting to talk

:13:45. > :13:48.about everything else other than the RHI cash per ad scandal. This

:13:49. > :13:53.election is about the drip feed of all the money so I think they will

:13:54. > :13:57.be very content to talk about Orange and green issues and Gerry Adams. I

:13:58. > :13:58.consider the electric that no one has anything to fear from my style

:13:59. > :14:00.of government. Michelle O'Neill won't share power

:14:01. > :14:02.with Arlene Foster until a public inquiry delivers its verdict

:14:03. > :14:10.on the Renewable Heat scandal. Is there a compromise of you

:14:11. > :14:13.standing aside and nominating yourself if Arlene Foster nominates

:14:14. > :14:16.a comp tech as a caretaker First Minister? I don't think they have

:14:17. > :14:22.any reason to not put myself forward. The enquiry is into Arlene

:14:23. > :14:23.Foster and the handling of the cash for a scandal.

:14:24. > :14:26.The icing on Michelle O'Neill's cake would be if Sinn Fein could return

:14:27. > :14:31.It's an outside bet, but if it happens Mrs O'Neill says

:14:32. > :14:33.she'd have no problem serving under a different job title

:14:34. > :14:40.We'll have to get through Thursday's election, though, before we discover

:14:41. > :14:50.how much of an appetite Sinn Fein's new leader has for sharing power.

:14:51. > :14:57.Coming up... How Ireland is enjoying the feel-good factor after their win

:14:58. > :15:00.over France in the six Nations. A woman with a first class degree

:15:01. > :15:04.in biomedical engineering says her biggest challenge

:15:05. > :15:07.in getting a job was convincing employers to give her a chance

:15:08. > :15:12.despite her having a form of autism. As our health correspondent

:15:13. > :15:15.Marie-Louise Connolly reports, a new initiative is trying to help

:15:16. > :15:20.break down barriers. Everyone has a story,

:15:21. > :15:38.and for this County Down woman I have Asperger's syndrome which is

:15:39. > :15:44.on the autistic spectrum. I find communication are very difficult and

:15:45. > :15:49.it would be very anxious. Qualities that can hinder getting a job. I

:15:50. > :15:56.struggled with eye contact. I was very fidgety. I always came home

:15:57. > :16:02.crying if there was any social events I had to go to, because I

:16:03. > :16:07.just knew I couldn't communicate the way I wanted to. Everything was

:16:08. > :16:08.there in my mind but I couldn't get it out.

:16:09. > :16:11.A local company however is helping to break down those barriers both

:16:12. > :16:16.for those with autism and employers who are willing to listen.

:16:17. > :16:24.The full training looks at, as an example, stuff like eye contact, how

:16:25. > :16:30.to communicate with people on the spectrum because it is very

:16:31. > :16:32.important that both parties understand each other, because we

:16:33. > :16:38.want to make sure that the relationship works for both. Despite

:16:39. > :16:42.many initiatives to encourage those with disabilities into the workplace

:16:43. > :16:48.the employment rate for those with autism remains relatively low. In

:16:49. > :16:52.fact, according to the National Autistic Society, around 16% of

:16:53. > :16:53.those with autism in the UK are currently in full-time jobs.

:16:54. > :16:55.And according to Shelley's employer it's been a win-win

:16:56. > :17:07.We just gave her a little more time to talk to us. There are certain

:17:08. > :17:11.things you don't want to do, you don't ask too many indirect

:17:12. > :17:15.questions, you'd have to be little sometimes. Eye contact, make people

:17:16. > :17:20.feel more comfortable. I always like to make your -- people feel

:17:21. > :17:24.comfortable anyway but he had the extra mile. How happy are you?

:17:25. > :17:26.Really happy because I have found a job that I love and I have got to

:17:27. > :17:27.meet such lovely people. For those with autism,

:17:28. > :17:30.securing a job not only means bringing home a pay packet,

:17:31. > :17:32.but also means they have routine and can enjoy the benefits

:17:33. > :17:38.of being part of a team. There were wins for both

:17:39. > :17:41.Ireland's men and women's teams at the weekend

:17:42. > :17:43.in the Six Nations Stephen Watson starts his sports

:17:44. > :17:52.round-up with the men. The Ireland rugby squad

:17:53. > :17:54.threw open the doors And there was certainly a feel-good

:17:55. > :17:58.factor in camp following the weekend In demand for photos

:17:59. > :18:03.was Jonathan Sexton after his Ireland lie second in the table -

:18:04. > :18:21.and still in with a chance After their heroics on Saturday

:18:22. > :18:25.against France, Ireland were back at the Aviva Stadium in a much more

:18:26. > :18:30.relaxed atmosphere. The main attraction was the man who returned

:18:31. > :18:34.from a calf injury to kick 11 of Ireland's 19 points. It was great to

:18:35. > :18:38.be back in with the team. It was a frustrating few weeks after doing so

:18:39. > :18:41.much harder before Christmas. I hope the period I have gone through will

:18:42. > :18:47.make me stronger and I have learnt a lot from it and get a string of

:18:48. > :18:52.games now and hopefully, I feel I am on the verge of getting some good

:18:53. > :18:58.form but it has been cut short by injury for the IMO the worst. That

:18:59. > :19:04.is bad news for Ireland's thinks two appointments, Wales and England is

:19:05. > :19:10.Jonathan Sexton's influence on the game. He was the conductor, the

:19:11. > :19:17.violinist scored his first Irish try on behalf of Armagh. His deft touch

:19:18. > :19:22.demoralise the French. This drop goal felt almost like a six pointer.

:19:23. > :19:26.His replacement Paddy Jackson sealed the win and know all roads lead to

:19:27. > :19:30.Wales. They will be really hurting after the start that they had. The

:19:31. > :19:36.dog was very often. Looking forward to the Missouri Friday night game in

:19:37. > :19:39.Cardiff. A hostile atmosphere awaits and the countdown to prove their

:19:40. > :19:41.credentials is on. Ireland maintained their challenge

:19:42. > :19:43.for the Women's Six Nations Championship with a hard fought

:19:44. > :19:46.13-10 win over France in Dublin. Hooker Leah Lyons scored the only

:19:47. > :19:49.Irish try that put the home side The result leaves them level

:19:50. > :19:54.at the top of the table with England, who lead

:19:55. > :19:56.on points difference. Ulster ran in six tries

:19:57. > :20:02.as they secured a bonus point win After struggling in the first half,

:20:03. > :20:13.Ulster pulled away in the second There was this superb effort by

:20:14. > :20:20.Charles Patel and finished off and reached 40 points,

:20:21. > :20:22.with this score on his Ulster moved up to fifth

:20:23. > :20:26.in the table and are now just five points behind the Scarlets

:20:27. > :20:29.in their bid to make the end Jonathan Rea made the perfect

:20:30. > :20:32.start to the defence of his World Superbike

:20:33. > :20:34.title in Australia. The Ballyclare rider won the opening

:20:35. > :20:37.two races at Phillip Island. Rea, a back-to-back world champion,

:20:38. > :20:40.is trying to create history by becoming the only rider to ever

:20:41. > :20:56.win three championships in a row. This is maybe the worst track for

:20:57. > :21:03.our bike and I have made it work these last few years. I don't know

:21:04. > :21:08.why, we can't have started a season in better way. Pool position,

:21:09. > :21:09.fastest laps, double race win, thank you very much.

:23:23. > :23:26.Earlier today there was real hints of spring in the sunshine. Our

:23:27. > :23:30.Weather Watcher capturing this lovely shot in Belfast earlier this

:23:31. > :23:34.afternoon. There were a few showers around as Wells. A little bit of

:23:35. > :23:38.hail in parts of County Down. Because temperatures are already

:23:39. > :23:41.quite low the ice warning is now in force but tonight and tomorrow

:23:42. > :23:45.morning through the rush hour. There will not be too many showers around

:23:46. > :23:48.initially tonight, fairly clear skies. Temperatures falling to

:23:49. > :23:54.around freezing orders below. But during the early hours this band of

:23:55. > :23:57.rain, sleet and Hill snow comes into the north-west. Combined with

:23:58. > :24:00.subzero temperatures things could be very icy tomorrow morning through

:24:01. > :24:05.the rush hour. It is all tied into this area of low pressure. Some

:24:06. > :24:10.strong winds tomorrow. It will feel much colder and more wintry compared

:24:11. > :24:14.to today. And of course there will be the mix of rain, sleet and hill

:24:15. > :24:18.snow moving south eastwards through the morning. Some icy conditions,

:24:19. > :24:22.some wintry showers and some gusty winds to greet you tomorrow morning

:24:23. > :24:26.for the last day of February. Not a very pleasant start to the day. But

:24:27. > :24:30.it may be a little while, maybe after the rush hour, but those

:24:31. > :24:34.wintry showers finally get down to brass of County Down. Here there

:24:35. > :24:39.could be some sunshine. Most places will see some showery rain tomorrow,

:24:40. > :24:42.some sleet, hail or a hill snow. Mostly rain through the afternoon

:24:43. > :24:48.and some sunny guts. Even though temperatures slightly higher

:24:49. > :24:51.tomorrow. Largely dried tomorrow evening and a few showers tomorrow

:24:52. > :24:57.night and again some frost and a risk of ice. As we head into the

:24:58. > :25:00.start of March, and the start of spring, it is still an unsettled

:25:01. > :25:03.field to the weather but that doesn't mean it will be raining all

:25:04. > :25:08.the time. Some dry weather on Wednesday. But too bad a morning but

:25:09. > :25:13.it ends wet. On Thursday if you out and about, the afternoon will bring

:25:14. > :25:16.the best of the dry weather. That was BBC Newsline. Goodbye.
