The online bike store Chain Reaction is to cut around 300 jobs. | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
The Ballyclare-based firm was taken over earlier this year. | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
The new owners say they intend to concentrate warehouse | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
Our Economics and Business Editor John Campbell reports. | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
It has been our biggest retail success story of the Internet era. | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
The company is one of the world was mad men online sellers of bicycles | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
and cycling accessories. It started in 1995 as a single bike shop owned | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
by the Watson family. But having built a world-class operation | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
employing more than 400 people, they sold it earlier this year to a rival | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
firm. Now, they are planning a shake-up, meaning many staff will be | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
moving to Wolverhampton. The company said it was necessary to retain its | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
position, remain competitive in the UK as well as increasing local | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
markets. That means up to 152 staff jobs and 161 agency positions will | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
go. They promised employees they will be treated fairly and in line | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
with their values. This afternoon, one regular customer at all that she | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
shares in the staff's shock. It is not just the front facing is that we | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
talk to as customers on a daily basis, it is all the backroom staff, | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
the stock room, the clerical, the admin, everything. If you're into | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
bicycles, it is very much a family feeling when you go in and shop. I | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
will really, really miss it. A local MLA said that jobs are effectively | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
being shifted across the Irish Sea. Distribution would like it is going | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
to be transferred to Wolverhampton, in England, so it is with sadness | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
that we hear this news, today. We know that this local firm, locally | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
owned, had great investment in our local community here. And with this | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
takeover, we see what is happening. It is taking away the distribution | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
part. The company says it will keep at least 275 jobs here, in rolls | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
like Management, IT and seals. It's real building operation will also | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
remain in Ballyclare. -- it's a real building. Major loss of that such a | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
respected company will shock many people but any competitive murky, | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
the new owners were never going to be sentimental about Northern | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
Ireland jobs. Staff leaving this site tonight have been reluctant to | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
comment, but the trade union have reacted furiously. They see these | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
job losses are completely indefensible and may amount to | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
corporate asset stripping. The company may refute that, but it is | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
still likely that by the time we get to the summer of next year, 300 jobs | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
will have gone. A jury at Belfast Crown Court has | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
found two people guilty of murdering a disabled Lurgan man | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
and dumping his body in a bin. Stephen Hughes and Shaunean Boyle | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
were standing trial for the murder The 40-year-old had been badly | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
beaten and left unconscious Ita Dungan has been | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
following the trial. For five weeks, Owen's parents | :03:14. | :03:23. | |
and siblings have listened to evidence of how he was beaten up | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
and left unconscious on a sofa | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
until he died two days later. The jury had listened to that same | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
evidence and had been instructed by the judge to answer the question | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
of who killed this man. Was it Stephen Hughes | :03:36. | :03:43. | |
and Shaunean Boyle together, After five hours deliberating, | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
they came back with their answer. They found both Stephen Hughes | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
and Shaunean Boyle guilty of murder. The pair had kicked, | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
punched and stamped on the disabled man, | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
who weighed just over seven stone. His injuries included 15 broken | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
ribs, a fractured breastbone, bleeding to the brain | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
and a bruised heart. And it had all happened here, | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
at Stephen Hughes's home, Owen Creaney, Stephen Hughes | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
and Shaunean Boyle had arrived back in the early hours of the morning, | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
having been on a drinking Shortly after, Owen Creaney | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
was beaten unconscious. As he lay on a sofa | :04:28. | :04:37. | |
upstairs, friends called most of them unaware | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
of what was happening. She described foam coming out | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
of his mouth and said the smell One day later, | :04:46. | :04:55. | |
Owen Creaney was dead. Shaunean Boyle and Stephen Hughes | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
then slid his body into a wheelie Shortly afterwards, | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
the police arrived. When the verdicts were being read | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
out, Stephen Hughes Shaunean Boyle broke down in tears, | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
sobbing into her hands. Then, as the judge handed | :05:09. | :05:19. | |
down two life sentences, there was an outburst | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
from the public gallery, a member of Shaunean Boyle's family | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
shouted at Stephen Hughes, Then, as Shaunean Boyle | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
was being led away, for the first time during the trial, | :05:26. | :05:39. | |
she turned to Stephen and said, The pair will be sentenced | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
on the 18th of November. Naomi Long has been | :05:42. | :05:51. | |
elected as the new leader The MLA was endorsed | :05:52. | :05:52. | |
by party activists tonight Our Political Correspondent | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
Stephen Walker was there. Around 150 party members came to | :05:56. | :06:12. | |
vote in an election race were there was only one candidate. Naomi Long | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
has been and party leader ever since David Ford announced he was stepping | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
down. After she was elected, Naomi Long outlined what her priorities | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
would be. I am tired of the kind of politics that makes people feel | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
excluded, depressed, set up with Northern Ireland. It is a fantastic | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
place but we need a change in our politics. It is actually about | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
optimism, trying to do the best that we can, not blind to the challenges, | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
but celebrating the diversity that we have as a strength, rather than | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
treating every division as a weakness. And the new leader got the | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
full backing of the party faithful. I am ecstatic, I am so happy, such a | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
way forward for the party. She is definitely the best person, most | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
capable to lead us forward. I believe this could be a time when | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
Alliance will grow stronger, bigger and there will be more depth and | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
breadth to it, with the LGBT community, ethnic community and the | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
POL community and the Nationalist community. We are a shared future | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
party and I believe that may will lead that way. I believe it is a new | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
dawn and chapter for the party. I think it will herald a real change | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
in how we engage with our constituencies. My only will bring | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
it to a grassroots level. When another party activists is one | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
thing, but Naomi Long knows that she wants to see the Alliance Party | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
grow, they need more members, more votes and seats. And in a crowd as | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
political marketplace, that will be difficult. She may be the new leader | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
of the Alliance Party, but she is facing some familiar challenges. | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
The PSNI has arrested four people as part of an investigation | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
into right-wing tensions in north eastern Europe. | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
The men, who are aged between 29 and 46, were detained at houses | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
A number of searches were conducted and several items removed | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
An Assembly committee has been told that a botched green energy scheme | :08:02. | :08:12. | |
which landed taxpayers with a bill of hundreds of millions of pounds | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
is the "biggest scandal" encountered by politicians here. | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
An overgenerous subsidy meant firms piled into the scheme | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
designed to get them to switch from oil to wood chip boilers. | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
20 years of guaranteed payments has left a huge hole | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
The regulators Ofgem E-Serve were before the assembly's | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
public account's committee and were heavily criticised. | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
You're supposed to be the regulator. It is very clear the department was | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
asleep at the wheel, but I am completely horrified that you as | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
well were asleep at the wheel in relation to this. No minutes, | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
limited records, nor responsibility, no ownership. It is... It is | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
appalling. You're bound to accept that. It is public money. We can | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
hardly afford the health service and now we have to fork out for this. | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
A woman believed to be in her 30s has died in what's believed to have | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
been a riding accident in County Down. | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
It happened this afternoon on the Moss road near Ballygowan. | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
In County Armagh, the A28 Gosford Road in Markethill is closed | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
between its junction with the Tandragee Road | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
and the Ballyvally Road due to a serious road traffic collision. | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
The road is expected to remain closed overnight. | :09:30. | :09:37. | |
Now, there was disappointment for County Down's Andrew Smith | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
after he failed to win the Great British Bake off. | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
The final of the hugely popular series was aired on BBC One | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
earlier this evening and our reporter Mervyn | :09:46. | :09:46. | |
I will start with 20 and keep an eye on them. I am nervous about this, | :09:47. | :09:56. | |
because a tiny imperfection in a cake could mean last in the | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
technical... The proof in the pudding was in the eating and | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
Northern Ireland's Bake Off finalist was let down by the trade of all | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
bakers, foggy bottom. The flavour of that is delicious. However... You | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
probably work that pastry a little bit too much. That should fall | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
apart. Let's try the Stuart Hogg retard. | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
The winner of the great British Bake Off 2016 is Candice! | :10:23. | :10:37. | |
He was picked by fellow finalist canvassed during this evening's | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
finale. If the aerospace engineer had come through, he would have been | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
the first ever Bake Off winner from you. All three finalists rose to the | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
occasion. In the end, there could only be one winner but this did not | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
sour relations between them. Candice has been fantastic throughout. I am | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
chuffed to bits for her. Well done! The competition was a tight, in this | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
the last episode of the award-winning programme on the BBC | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
before it transfers to Channel 4. Now back in February 18-year-old | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
Oran McKenna from Belfast was involved in a road accident | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
in which he suffered Tonight and eight months | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
on from his horrific accident. Oran came off the bench as captain | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
of St Marys CBS College in their winning Mageean Cup hurling | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
final against St Killians of Garron Tower at the | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
Queen's playing fields. Afterwards Oran spoke | :11:23. | :11:30. | |
of his gratitude to the medical The doctors, even though they have | :11:31. | :11:41. | |
been pessimistic, they have outlined what the rest isn't everything but | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
have been great I was on a Glasgow coma Scale of four, in an induced | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
coma, and it was down to the hard work of the Doctor, integrating at | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
the side of the road, he saved my life. | :11:57. | :11:57. | |
Now, with the weather forecast, here's Geoff Maskell. | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
Plenty of cloud cover, so that should help to keep temperatures in | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
high single figures. Overnight those of eight or 9 degrees. By dawn | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
tomorrow morning, we are going to start to see a few showers working | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
their way in. It not last terribly long, with another cloudy but mild | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
day. Once those showers little out, a few breaks in the clouds starting | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
to open up and that will help the temperatures. Another day, those | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
temperatures will be maybe 14 degrees on a south-westerly breeze, | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
just drawing in that warmer air. We take the wider view, you can see | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
exactly what is going on. An area of high pressure sitting out towards | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
the side of the British Isles. To the north, a stronger breeze and | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
later on, we will see this band of rain starts to work its way in. That | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
comes in overnight onto Friday morning. The cloud cover helps to | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
keep the temperature is on the mild side. Come the end of the week, and | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
the weekend, that ridge of high pressure starts to extend, to give | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
us a little bit of protection from the Atlantic weather systems. | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
Friday, a band of rain will slowly moves north, dries out behind it. | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
For all of the early Halloween celebrations, it should be trying | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
it. Looking pretty good as we cast an eye towards the weekend. Cloudy | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
and Miles, temperatures in the low teens. Not too bad and the largely | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
fair all the way through the weekend and on into the start of next week, | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
with only very little bit of light rain around as we go through the | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
next few days. | :13:27. | :13:28. |
