:01:41. > :01:49.Danielle McLaughlin from Buncrana, who was described as beautiful
:01:50. > :01:53.and kind-hearted, was found in Goa at breakfast time yesterday.
:01:54. > :01:54.She'd received injuries to her head and face.
:01:55. > :01:57.In a moment, we'll have the latest from India, but first
:01:58. > :02:03.here's our North-West reporter, Keiron Tourish.
:02:04. > :02:14.Described as bright, bubbly and full of life, but Danielle McLaughlin's
:02:15. > :02:18.life ended tragically in India. She was discovered at 8am local time
:02:19. > :02:25.yesterday in an isolated spot close the tourist spots in Goa. Her parish
:02:26. > :02:33.priest said the family had been devastated by the death. They are
:02:34. > :02:41.understandably grieving. They are overwhelmed by the sense of loss.
:02:42. > :02:46.They are supported by staff and the community and the people around them
:02:47. > :02:50.but nevertheless, as with all grief and loss, there is a terrible
:02:51. > :02:56.loneliness attached to it. Danielle McLaughlin had been a pupil in
:02:57. > :03:01.Buncrana before going to university in Liverpool. She loved travelling
:03:02. > :03:05.and was hugely popular. She was outgoing, lively, she took part in
:03:06. > :03:12.school musicals, she was a great Irish dancer, she had done soccer
:03:13. > :03:17.and athletics. She was a great part of the school. In Buncrana itself,
:03:18. > :03:26.people were left numb by the news. She was backpacking. Very sad time
:03:27. > :03:31.for people in Buncrana. It is terrible, awful, devastating news
:03:32. > :03:38.for the family especially. An absolute tragedy for the family.
:03:39. > :03:43.Full of beans, happy-go-lucky. Buncrana is a town reeling from this
:03:44. > :03:45.tragedy. Everyone here says the thoughts and prayers are with the
:03:46. > :03:48.grieving family. Our correspondent, Yogita Limaye,
:03:49. > :03:51.joins us live from Goa now. What more do we know
:03:52. > :04:06.about the investigation It is in this field by minute that
:04:07. > :04:09.Daniel's body was found yesterday morning. Police say she had injuries
:04:10. > :04:13.to her face and head. They were initially able to identify with the
:04:14. > :04:16.help of other foreign nationals living in the area as well as
:04:17. > :04:21.information from social media platforms. A couple of hundred
:04:22. > :04:25.meters to my right as the main highway that connects north and
:04:26. > :04:29.south Goa with lots of beaches and restaurant around it that this is
:04:30. > :04:36.quite an isolated spot. I have speaking with the officer
:04:37. > :04:39.investigating the case and he says the for by people in connection with
:04:40. > :04:45.the case and arrested one man yesterday. They believe they have
:04:46. > :04:48.found the main culprit because they found compelling evidence including
:04:49. > :04:53.CCTV camera footage showing the accused with the victim as well as a
:04:54. > :04:56.two wheeled vehicle with blood stains on it and produce with blood
:04:57. > :05:01.smears on them. They say have they had been in touch with British and
:05:02. > :05:06.Irish embassies but are still awaiting the result of the
:05:07. > :05:14.postmortem examination. Any reaction locally in Goa? Locally, a lot of
:05:15. > :05:20.people were organising a vigil. One thing is certain, it is brought back
:05:21. > :05:25.memories of the Scarlett Keeling case, a 15-year-old British national
:05:26. > :05:29.was murdered and raped in 2008. Her court case went on for years and it
:05:30. > :05:34.is only late last year that it came to the conclusion and even then, the
:05:35. > :05:39.two men accused of killing her were acquitted by a local court here.
:05:40. > :05:43.Police say that they believe that in this case, they actually had strong
:05:44. > :05:53.evidence, they feel confident, they had been questioning this man to see
:05:54. > :05:56.if he was acting on his own or if there were other people involved,
:05:57. > :05:57.and they have him in custody until the 21st of March to continue that
:05:58. > :05:57.investigation. Bonfire material dumped
:05:58. > :05:59.on a new multi-million pound greenway in east Belfast has been
:06:00. > :06:02.cleared after a month-long Workers from the Environment Agency
:06:03. > :06:06.removed the wood and tyres which had been stockpiled
:06:07. > :06:23.at Connswater Community Greenway. There will more than 100 wood
:06:24. > :06:27.pallets on the Greenway but now there are none. There were dozens of
:06:28. > :06:34.tyres but one by one they have been gathered up and taken away. Work
:06:35. > :06:40.started at ATM. The Environment Agency ordered the clear up and no
:06:41. > :06:46.one stood in the way. The bonfire material had been here for weeks. In
:06:47. > :06:51.spite of complaints about the mess on the new ?40 million Greenway, the
:06:52. > :06:56.authorities were reluctant to intervene. Then last night, a local
:06:57. > :07:00.agreement was reached. Community worker Robert Osborne said the
:07:01. > :07:04.decision had widespread support. There was a lot of money spent here
:07:05. > :07:09.and we do not want to see that going to waste. If we make our community
:07:10. > :07:14.better, it is better for us. So how are you able to persuade people to
:07:15. > :07:18.allow this material to be removed? They understand that the community
:07:19. > :07:25.comes first, there is a lot more to it. If we can progress as people. So
:07:26. > :07:31.has there been a deal done? No deal, we have just come to an agreement.
:07:32. > :07:36.It is just between us and the community. Would there be a payback
:07:37. > :07:44.for the community? Definitely, from us, we will help the community out
:07:45. > :07:48.anyway we can, if you approach me or any member of the community. We do
:07:49. > :07:51.not want to see ?40 million go to waste. Can you guarantee there will
:07:52. > :07:58.not be more bonfire material here tomorrow? We have come to an
:07:59. > :08:03.agreement that there will not be a bonfire here at all. Although some
:08:04. > :08:08.of the material was set alight, the damage has been minimal. Belfast
:08:09. > :08:10.City Council say they are confident this new multi-million pound
:08:11. > :08:14.Greenway will soon look as good as new.
:08:15. > :08:16.The discovery of a white substance in an envelope
:08:17. > :08:19.at Lagan Integrated College in the Castlereagh hills led
:08:20. > :08:26.to a security operation there this afternoon.
:08:27. > :08:28.The principal says classes continued as normal but pupils were supervised
:08:29. > :08:31.by police and staff leaving the school at home time.
:08:32. > :08:47.The police cordoned off from around midday. Fire and Rescue Service were
:08:48. > :08:52.also according to deal with what amounted to a security alert. The
:08:53. > :08:56.security alert began this morning after an envelope was received at
:08:57. > :09:00.the offices of the school, containing white powder. The
:09:01. > :09:04.emergency services were called in and that envelope and powder are the
:09:05. > :09:08.subject of a close examination. Pupils continued the class is what
:09:09. > :09:13.the operation to deal with the suspect went on although they were
:09:14. > :09:16.kept away from that part of the building where the powder was
:09:17. > :09:20.discovered. The principle of the school kept in touch with parents by
:09:21. > :09:24.e-mail and text, telling them their children would leave the school as
:09:25. > :09:27.usual at 3:30pm under the supervision of the police and
:09:28. > :09:35.teachers. They were anxious parents waiting at the school gates. It was
:09:36. > :09:43.a bit of a shock, coming to the school. There was no panic at all, I
:09:44. > :09:47.don't think, no real danger we felt anyway. The police investigation
:09:48. > :09:50.into who was behind today's is continuing.
:09:51. > :09:53.A Sinn Fein MEP who said the Prime Minister could stick
:09:54. > :09:55.a hard or soft border where the sun doesn't shine was dismissed
:09:56. > :09:58.as belligerent in the House of Commons today.
:09:59. > :10:01.Sinn Fein said Martina Anderson was reflecting anger
:10:02. > :10:03.over Brexit but, so far, there's been no comment
:10:04. > :10:06.from the party's Stormont leader, Michelle O'Neill.
:10:07. > :10:14.Here's our political correspondent, Gareth Gordon.
:10:15. > :10:23.This is the moment that Sinn Fein member of the European Parliament
:10:24. > :10:28.became an Internet sensation. Armoured cars, tanks and guns could
:10:29. > :10:33.not do in Ireland 27 member states will not be able to do, so your
:10:34. > :10:41.notion of the border, hard or soft, stick it where the sun does not
:10:42. > :10:46.shine! The Secretary of State will have heard the belligerent utterance
:10:47. > :10:50.of the former Sinn Fein director of the Unionist engagement to the Prime
:10:51. > :10:55.Minister can stick a hard or soft border where the sun does not shine.
:10:56. > :11:01.Can I buy the Secretary of State to remind Martina Anderson that it sets
:11:02. > :11:06.the terms for the future of Northern Ireland based on the majority of the
:11:07. > :11:10.will of the people is not changed? James Brogan Scheidt dodged the
:11:11. > :11:15.question, repeating only that the government did not want to see a
:11:16. > :11:20.return to the borders of the past. Sinn Fein's Stormont leader recently
:11:21. > :11:26.criticised her colleague for saying that Sinn Fein had put manners on
:11:27. > :11:29.the DUP leader, Arlene Foster. I have spoken to Michelle but it is
:11:30. > :11:36.not language I would use. I have seen in the last number of weeks and
:11:37. > :11:40.months the DUP treat the public with contempt, arrogance and disrespect.
:11:41. > :11:43.That is not the way we should conduct ourselves. Today she led a
:11:44. > :11:48.protest alongside family is calling the inquests into the deaths of
:11:49. > :11:52.their loved ones. So far she has not commented on Martina Anderson's
:11:53. > :11:56.remarks but in a statement, Champagne told the BBC that the
:11:57. > :12:00.comments were reflective of that anger that Northern Ireland could be
:12:01. > :12:04.dragged out of Europe by someone who has no mandate in Ireland. Today
:12:05. > :12:07.Martina Anderson issued a statement claiming that Brexit could
:12:08. > :12:09.jeopardise further infrastructure projects that using much more
:12:10. > :12:12.measured language. The government is not intending
:12:13. > :12:15.to erect posts on the border with the Republic after the UK
:12:16. > :12:17.leaves the European Union. That was the message from
:12:18. > :12:19.the Brexit Secretary, David Davis, Mr Davis confirms the plan is to use
:12:20. > :12:24.new technology to monitor Our political editor,
:12:25. > :12:40.Mark Devenport, was watching How close is this high-tech border
:12:41. > :12:43.to becoming a reality? David Davis told MPs that officials from the
:12:44. > :12:47.Customs service and the Northern Ireland Office are already working
:12:48. > :12:50.with their Irish counterparts in trying to design a new system but
:12:51. > :12:55.admitted there was a lot of design work still to do. He expressed
:12:56. > :12:58.confidence they would resolve the problems facing them because he said
:12:59. > :13:02.both governments were determined to do it because he has also said the
:13:03. > :13:08.technology available was much better than it was 20 years ago. The fact
:13:09. > :13:11.is, there is a board of the and there are duty differences across
:13:12. > :13:20.the border which are dealt with but dealt with in a subtle and not
:13:21. > :13:24.highly visible way. And the trusted scheme I was talking about before is
:13:25. > :13:29.the sort of thing that operates, and that is what we would have in mind.
:13:30. > :13:38.It is not going to be easy, it will cost us money, a lot of work on
:13:39. > :13:44.technology and so one, but without having heard a personal and so on,
:13:45. > :13:48.and that is what we intend to do. Does David Davis think the European
:13:49. > :13:52.Union will object? He does not think they will. He thinks they will
:13:53. > :13:56.cooperate with this and the maintenance of the Common travel
:13:57. > :14:00.area which allows for the freedom of movement of people between the UK
:14:01. > :14:04.and Ireland because he says the European Commission has a strong
:14:05. > :14:07.emotional investment in the Northern Ireland peace process and does not
:14:08. > :14:11.want to do anything to jeopardise that. Speaking of the peace process,
:14:12. > :14:16.we also heard from the Secretary of State today on the talks.
:14:17. > :14:23.Absolutely. He was asking questions in the Commons on the state of
:14:24. > :14:26.talks. He says progress is being made but more has to be achieved. He
:14:27. > :14:31.would not get into speculating about contingency planning for failure or
:14:32. > :14:34.any extension of the deadline instead he wants to concentrate on
:14:35. > :14:39.trying to achieve a deal within that three-week period.
:14:40. > :14:42.The global bank Citigroup has said it does not expect Brexit
:14:43. > :14:44.to have a negative impact on its operation here.
:14:45. > :14:46.The bank is one of Belfast's biggest employers.
:14:47. > :14:48.But the hospitality sector has warned that tougher
:14:49. > :14:50.immigration rules after Brexit could hit its plans to expand.
:14:51. > :15:00.Here's our economics and business editor, John Campbell.
:15:01. > :15:07.Citigroup has been a Belfast success story. It is set up here in 2014 and
:15:08. > :15:13.after a series of reinvestment employs more than 2000 people. There
:15:14. > :15:20.has been uncertainty after financial services jobs right across the UK.
:15:21. > :15:26.Some will be relocated as was at the Brexit. HSBC is planning to move
:15:27. > :15:31.1000 staff to Paris. But now the UK boss of Citigroup has reassured
:15:32. > :15:35.there will be no exodus from Belfast. He said there is no
:15:36. > :15:40.fundamental reason why Belfast's attractions to us should change as a
:15:41. > :15:45.result of Brexit. I do not see its standing in the way of either what
:15:46. > :15:49.we have gotten Belfast all our plans to continue developing. Also
:15:50. > :15:53.announced today wasn't planned the big new office block in Titanic
:15:54. > :15:58.Quarter. There is speculation that Citigroup is lined up as a tenant.
:15:59. > :16:03.Meanwhile the hospitality industry has been giving evidence about
:16:04. > :16:09.Brexit effects. Migration is a big issue in this sector. Look at the
:16:10. > :16:15.numbers. Migrant workers are 8% of the Northern Ireland workforce. But
:16:16. > :16:20.they make up 20% of the manufacturing workforce and almost a
:16:21. > :16:24.quarter of all hospitality jobs. One representative said it is already a
:16:25. > :16:31.struggle to fill jobs. There is a huge challenge for us to make a
:16:32. > :16:38.demand. It affects the migrant workers we get from Europe. We still
:16:39. > :16:43.do not know what limits will be placed on migrant workers after
:16:44. > :16:46.Brexit. We could have a system of regional work permits controlled by
:16:47. > :16:49.the Executive. That is assuming we have an executive.

:17:36. > :17:38.first flight, Coast Guard helicopters returned to resume the
:17:39. > :17:43.search for the missing colleagues. As well as the operation in the air
:17:44. > :17:49.and on the sea, the search is now taking place under the water with
:17:50. > :17:55.sonar equipment deployed and naval and Garda divers on stand-by to see
:17:56. > :17:58.whether they should focus their efforts. Wreckage from the
:17:59. > :18:02.helicopter was brought ashore throughout yesterday. Last night
:18:03. > :18:08.relatives arrived at the Lighthouse to be briefed on the search
:18:09. > :18:10.operation. Earlier in the day, Captain Dara Fitzpatrick was
:18:11. > :18:20.recovered from the sea. Also on board was the chief pilot and the
:18:21. > :18:25.winchman. Dara Fitzpatrick's sister, mother and father say they are
:18:26. > :18:30.devastated by her loss. We feel like the lucky ones now because we have
:18:31. > :18:41.the. We can kiss her, hold her, hold her hand. At the end of the day, I
:18:42. > :18:49.hope the torment will be over, to a certain extent. Because this is
:18:50. > :18:53.torment. Rescue 116 was often involved in missions in Northern
:18:54. > :18:57.Ireland. The tragedy has been felt at the Coast Guard operations centre
:18:58. > :19:07.in Bangor. They were like a family. It has hit steep. We had a visit
:19:08. > :19:15.from the Queen when Dara was here. It still has not sunk in the rescue
:19:16. > :19:19.116 and a Q1 not come home from the mission. Last weekend, the Dublin
:19:20. > :19:25.-based helicopter was providing support. It has been a privilege to
:19:26. > :19:29.work with them. They are consummate professionals, highly passionate
:19:30. > :19:34.about what they do and highly experienced and a fantastic bunch of
:19:35. > :19:35.people. As the search continues, so too does the agonising wait for
:19:36. > :19:41.news. Still to come on the programme:

:19:49. > :20:03.language act would cost ?8.5 million over five years,
:20:04. > :20:05.according to a leading Conradh na Gaeilge also estimate
:20:06. > :20:13.the act would cost ?2 million a year to implement,
:20:14. > :20:30.as our education correspondent, It's led to loud protests and widely
:20:31. > :20:35.bearing estimates of the cost. The reason I am against an Irish
:20:36. > :20:40.language act is because of the cost of it, tens of millions of pounds.
:20:41. > :20:42.One of the main groups who want an Irish language act have produced
:20:43. > :20:48.this, document which lays out what it would mean and what the bill
:20:49. > :20:55.would be, ?8.5 million over five years, ?2.5 million a year to
:20:56. > :21:00.implement. Among those costs are ?150,000 to establish and half ?1
:21:01. > :21:05.million a year to run a translation department in Stormont. Of the ?1
:21:06. > :21:12.million initially spent translating documents and forms and bilingual
:21:13. > :21:17.road signs. But given Conradh na Gaeilge want an act, the figures
:21:18. > :21:23.authoritative? There is no doubt our figures will hold up to scrutiny. We
:21:24. > :21:27.think these are practical proposals that can be implemented at the best
:21:28. > :21:35.possible time. This economist has also had a look at the plans. He
:21:36. > :21:41.thinks they are an under estimate. Let me say this in front of the BBC,
:21:42. > :21:45.they are leaving the costs to fall on the Department for Education and
:21:46. > :21:50.have not cost of those. This is if anything is an understatement of
:21:51. > :21:54.what anybody would expect to be the cost, if they develop an Irish
:21:55. > :21:59.language process, became more established. Conradh na Gaeilge said
:22:00. > :22:02.they have set up a reasonable bill for Irish language legislation but
:22:03. > :22:04.those opposed it may not be convinced.
:22:05. > :22:07.Unionists no longer have a majority in Stormont but it's 20 years

:23:17. > :23:19.twice. He concedes the earth did not fall on wind unionists lost the
:23:20. > :23:24.majority but says there were important shifts. Once we lost the
:23:25. > :23:29.majority, the symbolism at the City Hall of the flag of the country
:23:30. > :23:33.flying at the capital city of the country, that was removed, and that
:23:34. > :23:37.caused huge tensions in the city. The battle between the two camps
:23:38. > :23:46.raged for decades during troubled times. The mayor does not want to
:23:47. > :23:51.dwell on the Doctors of the past and says we need to seem beyond orange
:23:52. > :23:54.and green. It is not about nationalism and unions are many
:23:55. > :24:01.more. In my view, it is about those who live here in this blossoming
:24:02. > :24:08.Irish community. The new Belfast people all over the city, the
:24:09. > :24:11.greens, those on the left, those who have dreamt of a brighter future.
:24:12. > :24:17.For many years, the Alliance Party has held the balance of power. One
:24:18. > :24:21.academic says there is no longer any majority community. There are
:24:22. > :24:26.unionists, nationalists and people classified as being other, so there
:24:27. > :24:29.are three different groups of people, three different population
:24:30. > :24:34.groups. The balance has to be struck between them because the reality is
:24:35. > :24:41.there is no majority, there will not be a majority. We are all minorities
:24:42. > :24:46.now that is how we have to make future. Alliance held the first
:24:47. > :24:50.mayor position and was the support that enabled the first National is
:24:51. > :24:54.mayor. The way we have seen the city developer has largely been as a
:24:55. > :24:58.result of more collaborative working because despite the fact some of
:24:59. > :25:01.those things are contentious, many decisions are taken on a cross-party
:25:02. > :25:06.basis and there is much more discussion before decisions are
:25:07. > :25:11.taken. It is not comparing like with like many believe the past of
:25:12. > :25:16.Belfast City Council could help the future Stormont. Tell us what you
:25:17. > :25:18.think on our Facebook page. Tonight, hundreds of motorcycle fans
:25:19. > :25:29.are getting the chance to meet This venue is starting to fill up
:25:30. > :25:33.and it will be a sell-out tonight for our special meet the stars
:25:34. > :25:38.evening. Lots of new bikes and teams are here as well, lots of big names
:25:39. > :25:44.including a couple of home-grown stars. Alistair, to you first of
:25:45. > :25:49.all, you are the record-holder, number of wins with 17, can you
:25:50. > :25:55.extend this year? I have been trying my best. I have a good team for this
:25:56. > :26:05.year. We will go and try to add to our tally. With Kawasaki, for me, it
:26:06. > :26:09.is continuity, I am with teams and bikes for I know, so we will try to
:26:10. > :26:14.add to the tally break another effort. Ryan, you told as recently
:26:15. > :26:21.that crash last year when you almost lost your life, you are bringing a
:26:22. > :26:26.team to the North West 200 this year? I have just announced today
:26:27. > :26:35.that Lee Johnson or right for me at the North West 200 on a bike in
:26:36. > :26:40.ambulance colours, a charity very close to my heart. I thought was
:26:41. > :26:47.good time to do something different. Support a charity that I feel will
:26:48. > :26:57.save a lot of lives, not just a motorsport but in everyday life. I
:26:58. > :27:00.also have a South African rider coming in as a newcomer. There are a
:27:01. > :27:09.lot of road racers who have never heard of him that he is a big-name.
:27:10. > :27:14.It will be an exciting battle. What is the appeal of the North West 200
:27:15. > :27:22.to you? Because it is a local event, coming here is a boy and cheering on
:27:23. > :27:26.the Dunlops, now for me to get that in the last lap, it is unreal, and
:27:27. > :27:32.for me it is the atmosphere. You have got the seaside resorts, you go
:27:33. > :27:36.there in the summertime, and we spend a week and it is a good family
:27:37. > :27:43.outing, I tried to keep as calm as possible but come Saturday... Race
:27:44. > :27:44.week starts on the 8th of May and all the action you can see and hear
:27:45. > :27:47.on the BBC. Now let's get the
:27:48. > :27:58.weather with Geoff. It has been a bit dull. Grey and
:27:59. > :28:03.cloudy. This picture from our Weather Watcher sums up the problem,
:28:04. > :28:09.a blanket of cloud sitting over us. Other than that, nothing much to
:28:10. > :28:12.talk about at all. As we go overnight tonight, we will start to
:28:13. > :28:17.see a bit of rain in the mix working its way in from the West. Light and
:28:18. > :28:21.drizzly for the main, mostly confined to the higher ground, but
:28:22. > :28:27.it marks a card for what is to come tomorrow. Overnight lows of seven or
:28:28. > :28:31.8 degrees. Tomorrow, rain to the morning. It will brighten up later
:28:32. > :28:35.on but that comes with a sting in the tale, too. As we go through the
:28:36. > :28:39.morning, we will start to see these bands of rain working their way in
:28:40. > :28:44.and as the weather fronts coming, the warmest temperatures through the
:28:45. > :28:49.morning, nine and 10 degrees. Once this front of cleared out of the
:28:50. > :28:55.way, cool, bright, clear air. Afternoon temperatures, highs of six
:28:56. > :28:59.or 7 degrees. But it leaves plenty of brightness. Because we have got
:29:00. > :29:04.those clearing skies, overnight, temperatures will drop away and we
:29:05. > :29:08.will have a chilly night with overnight lows down to two or three
:29:09. > :29:13.degrees. The outlook for Saint Patrick's Day is not good. A wet and
:29:14. > :29:19.windy day, really rather unpleasant. This is the scene on Friday morning.
:29:20. > :29:25.That rain sitting over us, spreading into all parts, heaviest in the
:29:26. > :29:29.West, best chance of any bright nurse East. Very few places that
:29:30. > :29:34.will get through Friday without seeing at least a little bit of
:29:35. > :29:40.rain. As we head into the weekend itself, we will keep that rainy
:29:41. > :29:44.theme. It will feel like the day that is starting to clear up just a
:29:45. > :29:49.little bit. A hint of positivity there. With lots of sporting events
:29:50. > :29:51.and parades in pageants planned for riding, I am just sorry the weather
:29:52. > :29:53.is not playing its part. Our late summary
:29:54. > :29:58.is at half past ten.
