:08:59. > :09:03.see progress on this. How soon is that?
:09:04. > :09:07.As soon as possible, which means that I do not know exactly the times
:09:08. > :09:12.and dates but I am putting pressure on the Council for them to be
:09:13. > :09:16.removed as quickly as possible. The sooner the better, say many
:09:17. > :09:20.people walking around here. They have spent loads of money to
:09:21. > :09:25.make this area the way it is at the moment, and it is beautiful, and
:09:26. > :09:30.they are bringing tyres and all of this stuff here. It is spoiling the
:09:31. > :09:36.area. I think it is a sin, all of that money wasted.
:09:37. > :09:41.Who should sort it out? I think the community and the
:09:42. > :09:46.Council should work together. It should be any area for a bonfire,
:09:47. > :09:48.but not any park. Hundreds of thousands of pounds spent on this
:09:49. > :09:54.park. As we were filming, a loyalist
:09:55. > :09:57.community number spoke to me and did not want to appear on camera but
:09:58. > :10:02.said meetings will take place in the next couple of days to resolve the

:10:46. > :10:51.This afternoon, the DUP leader Arlene Foster was asked how
:10:52. > :11:00.talks between her party and Sinn Fein were going.
:11:01. > :11:07.My goodness, how would you describe it?
:11:08. > :11:11.I actually think it is very businesslike, and constructive. We
:11:12. > :11:16.are trying to work. We have had a series of meetings at leadership
:11:17. > :11:19.level with Sinn Fein and the other parties, and our own Government, Her
:11:20. > :11:22.Majesty 's Government and the Irish Government, so I think there has
:11:23. > :11:26.been a good deal happening this week in terms of getting these talks
:11:27. > :11:28.underway. Getting the issues onto the table... And we will remain very
:11:29. > :11:30.committed to taking it forward. Staying with politics,
:11:31. > :11:32.and school pupils got the chance to put their own questions to MLAs,
:11:33. > :11:36.councillors and activists today. It was during an event
:11:37. > :11:38.at St Mary's Christian Brothers Grammar School in west Belfast,

:11:48. > :11:52.election, with a lot of Personally, I'm disappointed
:11:53. > :11:56.with the result, in the fact that 56% of the first preference votes
:11:57. > :12:00.still went to the two main parties. We haven't really seen
:12:01. > :12:02.politics have changed, the two main parties have
:12:03. > :12:05.still stayed the same, and I think we're going to end up with the same
:12:06. > :12:08.sort of dysfunctional executive They had the ear of politicians,
:12:09. > :12:11.including three MLAs, for the afternoon, and they came
:12:12. > :12:15.prepared with advice. I think that we need
:12:16. > :12:18.to just push aside any bias from parties, and just
:12:19. > :12:21.go ahead with negotiations and put forward the plans that
:12:22. > :12:23.need to be put forward, As a Gaeilgoir, Acht na Gaeilge
:12:24. > :12:28.needs to be put forward. We need to focus on issues

:12:36. > :12:39.to ensure the best outcome especially for the youth
:12:40. > :12:42.of Northern Ireland. But as young people,
:12:43. > :12:45.they were looking to the future. I'd just like to get all this
:12:46. > :12:48.behind, all the Brexit, RHI, Irish language,
:12:49. > :12:49.all that controversy beside, pass those bills, sort it out
:12:50. > :12:52.and start focussing on the things Like stuff like getting
:12:53. > :12:55.the budget sorted out, focussing a bit more on education,
:12:56. > :13:00.especially integrated education, and, sort of, work to build
:13:01. > :13:05.maybe a better future for us. Louise Cullen,

:13:19. > :13:24.primaries are using their time together to learn a new skill,
:13:25. > :13:27.as our education correspondent Robbie Meredith has
:13:28. > :13:33.been finding out. A catch - in a classroom without
:13:34. > :13:45.walls but with lots of water. It is OK sitting in class doing
:13:46. > :13:47.work, but this is way better because it is fun.
:13:48. > :13:49.These 10- and 11-year-olds from St Patrick's and Seaview Primaries
:13:50. > :13:55.in North Belfast are learning how to fish together.
:13:56. > :14:02.The thing that looks like a match, it changes if we have got something
:14:03. > :14:03.but we have not caught anything but seaweed yet.
:14:04. > :14:17.It was heavy and very heavy. It came off the hook.
:14:18. > :14:21.These kids very often would not see this aspect of nature, so they are
:14:22. > :14:25.out looking at things they would not normally see, even though schools
:14:26. > :14:29.are close together in north Belfast they would not have the opportunity
:14:30. > :14:31.to socialise together, so this is so important that they get this chance.
:14:32. > :14:35.community relations now, but the hope is that it
:14:36. > :14:44.will also benefit the pupils as they get older.
:14:45. > :14:55.How often do you get the opportunity to sit down and think, for quiet...
:14:56. > :14:59.A bit of solace or me time. How often do you get that in this day
:15:00. > :15:03.and age, with social media and the rest? This is an escape from all of
:15:04. > :15:04.that and fishing is the ideal avenue for that.
:15:05. > :15:07.And while Pierce's carp went back to swim and other day, he's already
:15:08. > :15:19.How big was the fish? About that size.
:15:20. > :15:22.From the 1st of April, every home in Northern Ireland
:15:23. > :15:25.will be given access to a food waste recycling service.
:15:26. > :15:27.Councils say that's good for the environment and their budgets.
:15:28. > :15:30.Donna has visited a recycling plant on the outskirts of west Belfast
:15:31. > :15:39.to find out about the cost of not watching our waste.
:15:40. > :15:46.When the idea of recycling first started, we bought into the idea
:15:47. > :15:51.that rubbish could be waste used for other purposes. The lorry behind me
:15:52. > :15:56.is bringing food waste to this recycling centre. Here, food waste,
:15:57. > :16:03.and the contaminants are taken from it and it gets processed and ends up
:16:04. > :16:06.composter. Compost is then sold to garden centres, farms and golf
:16:07. > :16:13.courses. At the moment, too much food waste is ending up in black and
:16:14. > :16:19.grey bins and not Brown ones. You are commercial director at this
:16:20. > :16:24.plant. How much of Belfast City Council's food waste comes your?
:16:25. > :16:28.80,000 tonnes of organic material every year, and that is probably
:16:29. > :16:32.household food and garden waste... What we do here is accelerate
:16:33. > :16:35.natural processes of the composition.
:16:36. > :16:38.A lot of food waste is recycled here, so how much are we throwing
:16:39. > :16:45.into the black bins? In Northern Ireland every year, we
:16:46. > :16:51.know around a tonnes of food a year and biodegradable material ends up
:16:52. > :16:56.in a lack then when it should not. That is costing our councils more
:16:57. > :17:02.than twice as much to dispose of, as it would be via the brown bin. It
:17:03. > :17:06.would be around ?60,000 cheaper to dispose of via the brown bin, and it
:17:07. > :17:11.is costing our councils ?6 million per year more than it needs to. It
:17:12. > :17:14.is quite simple. If you are throwing your food waste into the black bin,
:17:15. > :17:21.you are throwing away money. Use the brown bin to dispose of your food
:17:22. > :17:24.waste, and then everybody will benefit financially and
:17:25. > :17:28.environmentally. 42% of our waste is recycled at the
:17:29. > :17:38.moment. The EU target is 50% by 2020. Ricky is representing six
:17:39. > :17:41.councils in Northern Ireland. It is about education, but some people
:17:42. > :17:45.need to get into the habit. It is not always easy when there are
:17:46. > :17:50.different coloured pens and not all councils are the same.
:17:51. > :17:55.Not all of the councils are the same, but food waste is simple to
:17:56. > :17:59.get, I think. Put it in the appropriate container and not in the
:18:00. > :18:02.black bin. Putting it in the black bin does not make environmental or
:18:03. > :18:07.financial sense. Putting it in the container that you have got for it
:18:08. > :18:09.makes absolute sense. We get value from that. Everybody in the
:18:10. > :18:15.household after the 1st of April will have a container for food
:18:16. > :18:20.waste, so use it. I am sure you use it. If it is waste food, put it in.
:18:21. > :18:25.Work recently shows there are 7 million tonnes of food waste in the
:18:26. > :18:28.UK, and that means roughly for every single person, every day, somebody
:18:29. > :18:34.is putting almost a pizza in the bin. But the pizza in the right
:18:35. > :18:38.then, that is what we say. Thank you, Ricky. Changing habits
:18:39. > :18:42.can be difficult, but what about turning food waste into something
:18:43. > :18:43.like this composter can be reused? Tell me your thoughts our Facebook

:18:47. > :18:48.on the site of a former south Armagh security base as a memorial
:18:49. > :18:51.to the victims of the Troubles. Schoolchildren in Forkhill
:18:52. > :18:53.helped with the project - part of a wider plan to increase

:19:10. > :19:13.this area used to look. The trees are planted in memory of victims of
:19:14. > :19:19.the troubles. The site chosen was once at the heart of the conflict
:19:20. > :19:22.here. For three decades, it was one of the most heavily guarded security
:19:23. > :19:28.force bases in Northern Ireland. The regular target for attack.
:19:29. > :19:35.The damage to the base is not as extensive as it might have been.
:19:36. > :19:40.Eight chaps slightly wounded mainly by flying glass.
:19:41. > :19:44.Now only this blast wall remains. In place of the base, a community
:19:45. > :19:48.garden planted as a memorial to those who died.
:19:49. > :19:52.The dream of peace has been realised, and that is the most
:19:53. > :19:55.amazing thing. The idea of the peace forest is to plant as many trees as
:19:56. > :20:02.possible along the border to create a great forest of peace trees.
:20:03. > :20:06.The police and army base dominated the village of Forkhill for decades,
:20:07. > :20:10.and many myths grew up around it, including one that a nuclear bunker
:20:11. > :20:14.had been built underneath. Different people believed it was
:20:15. > :20:20.true. When the army left, they did not take the foundations away of two
:20:21. > :20:22.buildings, and it was 12 inch concrete reinforced, and there is
:20:23. > :20:27.certainly nothing underneath. This is part of a wider drive to
:20:28. > :20:35.increase trees in South Armagh, where the density of them is low.
:20:36. > :20:39.We have added about 120,000 trees in South Armagh recently, so this is
:20:40. > :20:42.another project for that. 1000 native trees are being planted
:20:43. > :20:46.here and they will soon arrive on this site.

:21:25. > :21:27.stay that way for the match, but it is quieter than it will be in just
:21:28. > :21:34.over an hour, where the atmosphere will be electric. Joining me pitch
:21:35. > :21:37.side is a former Ireland half Tony Ward. What effect will the
:21:38. > :21:42.atmosphere have on proceedings? Magic. I can feel the adrenaline and
:21:43. > :21:46.it is heaving outside of the ground. Give me a choice between Friday
:21:47. > :21:50.night and Sunday, and it is a no-brainer. This is the first and we
:21:51. > :21:53.have played a six Nations game on a Friday night, and tonight this place
:21:54. > :21:59.will rock. What can Ireland expect from the
:22:00. > :22:04.Welsh side who lost the last two games?
:22:05. > :22:09.Enormous pressure. I think it has been a good piece of psychology,
:22:10. > :22:14.under pressure, and picking the same 23. He is demanding a performance
:22:15. > :22:20.for them. If it ain't broken, don't fix it. So, two very different
:22:21. > :22:26.psychology is going into it. It is a difficult one to call, but a
:22:27. > :22:28.humdinger, and I hope and believe it will be Ireland.
:22:29. > :22:32.How important are the opening 20 minutes?
:22:33. > :22:36.Important no matter what game you play, and a huge emphasis on that.
:22:37. > :22:40.If Wales get up and running early, they will connect with the crowd and
:22:41. > :22:42.there will be more pressure against us.
:22:43. > :22:47.Thank you. We will find out what effect the roof has on the match
:22:48. > :22:51.tonight, live on BBC radio Ulster and on BBC television from 7:30pm.
:22:52. > :22:55.Ulster play Zebre in the Pro12 tomorrow at the Kingspan Stadium.
:22:56. > :22:58.Victory with a bonus point over the Italians will be the aim
:22:59. > :23:00.to keep Ulster in the hunt for a play-off place.
:23:01. > :23:03.And Charles Piutau will try and continue his try scoring good form.
:23:04. > :23:14.He is enjoying his rugby and his experience.
:23:15. > :23:19.He gathers and he scores! Above what I expected, just a
:23:20. > :23:25.welcoming welcome for the club and the people here. That has helped me
:23:26. > :23:30.gather my team-mate around me. Everyone, and they call it around me
:23:31. > :23:35.has made my job easier. I am able to enjoy my rugby and do what I do.
:23:36. > :23:40.When you get the ball, there seems to be an atmosphere. Do you feel
:23:41. > :23:47.that out there are? Definitely. I feel people getting
:23:48. > :23:52.excited and it is great fun. When the teams... When the team is hot on
:23:53. > :23:58.attack, scoring tries, it does lift the spirit.
:23:59. > :24:05.Inspired by the big names, Ulster scored six away to Zebre two weeks
:24:06. > :24:09.ago. Expect more of the same and some on Saturday night.
:24:10. > :24:13.Northern Ireland football manager Michael O'Neill has named his squad
:24:14. > :24:15.to face Norway in this month's vital World Cup qualifier in Belfast.
:24:16. > :24:18.Among the forwards, Liam Boyce comes in for the injured Will Grigg,
:24:19. > :24:21.and in a big boost to O'Neill's defensive options Watford's
:24:22. > :24:23.Craig Cathcart returns, having missed all four previous
:24:24. > :24:35.Very important, because we have not had him in four games. Difficult
:24:36. > :24:41.start to the season with the injury, carried over from France. We saw how
:24:42. > :24:45.good Craig was in France for us, and he has a player who sometimes we
:24:46. > :24:52.have to change our tactical shape if he is not available. Having him back
:24:53. > :24:53.and fit, and with Johnny and Gareth in terms of centre backs, it is a
:24:54. > :24:55.plus for us. Stormont plays host to round two
:24:56. > :24:57.of the World Hockey League, The Ireland men's team
:24:58. > :25:01.are currently ranked as high as they have ever been,
:25:02. > :25:03.and so are among the favourites to win the tournament and progress
:25:04. > :25:06.to the next stage in the summer, which also brings a shot
:25:07. > :25:14.at World Cup qualification. Jonathan Rea was fastest
:25:15. > :25:16.in practice in Thailand ahead of this weekend's second
:25:17. > :25:18.round of the World Superbikes Championship - Rea, remember,

:25:45. > :25:48.An exciting weekend ahead, but will the weather be exciting?
:25:49. > :25:52.Not too bad. The last few weeks blue skies but today is about the cloud
:25:53. > :25:58.amounts. Certainly plenty of cloud. This is the picture, a coward hiding
:25:59. > :26:04.in the mist. Particularly shy. Cloud sitting over us overnight tonight.
:26:05. > :26:07.This band of rain working through, a mild night at seven or eight
:26:08. > :26:10.Celsius. Tomorrow's starts off cloudy and not too long before we
:26:11. > :26:17.see a bit of lovely blue skies above us. Maybe not for one peninsula,
:26:18. > :26:21.because of that when the front through tonight. A bit stubborn,
:26:22. > :26:25.clinging on across the East Coast. Gradually moving away, and behind
:26:26. > :26:29.the cloud peels back in the West. That means we are going to see the
:26:30. > :26:32.best of the brightness out in the west tomorrow afternoon. Always a
:26:33. > :26:37.bit more cloud further east, temperatures at ten or 12 Celsius.
:26:38. > :26:42.With more prolonged periods of sunshine, up to 13 or 14 Celsius.
:26:43. > :26:48.Very nice for the time of year. Our pattern of rain like last night, it
:26:49. > :26:52.will rain tonight and tomorrow. It continues. This cold front moving
:26:53. > :26:58.through, and again Sunday will be cloudy and damp to start. Again it
:26:59. > :27:02.will be a day that improves. If this cold front moves away, it introduces

:27:07. > :27:11.Celsius. Plenty brightness between showers. A classic day of sunshine
:27:12. > :27:15.and showers. Over the weekend, this area of high pressure starts to
:27:16. > :27:19.build in. That settles down our weather very nicely, and turns of
