A man and a woman in their 50s have been shot in the Turf Lodge | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
The couple who are believed to be married were both injured | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
in the legs during the attack which happened this evening. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
Our reporter David Maxwell has been to the scene. | :00:16. | :00:23. | |
It was just after 6:15pm this evening when shots were fired inside | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
this house. It is understood to be the home of a married couple who | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
were both injured in the legs. They were taken to hospital for | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
treatment, but their injuries and thought to be life-threatening. | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
There is still a very active police presence in this area this evening | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
as people come to terms with this attack on a couple who are said to | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
be well-known and in this community. The fact that they were unknown to | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
me, there is no way this family is involved in commonality of any sort. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
Whatever the motivation was for the shooting, there is absolutely no | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
justification for it whatsoever. The people in this street are now | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
terrified as a result of this shooting. Kids are scared, women and | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
other people in the street are terrified as a result of what has | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
happened. Police have appealed for anyone with | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
information about this attack to get in touch. | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
A boy is in a critical condition in the Royal Victoria hospital | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
after being knocked down in Magheralin in County Down. | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
It happened at Malcolmson Park just before five o'clock this evening. | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
Funding to an Irish Language scheme has been reinstated, | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
The ?50,000 cut to the Liofa scheme caused anger, | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
and supporters protested at the office of the Communities | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
Our Education Correspondent Robbie Meredith reports. | :01:42. | :02:00. | |
A protest which tended to bit of a party, due to an unexpected U-turn. | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
The minister said he had found money for the Liofa scheme, which had been | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
stopped on the last day before Christmas. The crowd behind me are | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
salivating the return of the ton-macro funding. This is the | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
latest occasion of rows over the Irish language and the prominence it | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
has in our society, having made the headlines. Two years ago, the DUP's | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
Gregory Campbell appeared to mark Irish to thank the speaker in the | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
assembly. Last year, the DUP agriculture minister ordered that | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
the Irish nameplate on a fisheries inspection boat be removed and | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
replaced with a name in English. Although the boat's power supply | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
today was still defying her decision. Irish language activists | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
want much more than the Liofa scheme. They want laws which put | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
Irish on a par with English as an official language. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
We have asked all the parties who have stood with us thus far to | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
continue to stand with us, and not to agree to any agreement or | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
executive, or any political agreements coming out of the current | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
crisis, without an Irish language act for Irish speakers being a real | :03:09. | :03:09. | |
issue. So what in practice with an Irish | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
language act mean? Would guarantee a number of things, including the | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
option for Irish to be used in court, in debates in the assembly, | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
and its use by all state bodies, including the police. There would | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
also be an Irish language commissioner to ensure that the | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
language was being facilitated. So, was today's U-turn itself part of a | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
deal between the DUP and Sinn Fein? The answer was unambiguous. | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
It absolutely isn't, and it won't be either. The decision at round at | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
removing Liofa was a disgraceful one. I am glad it is reversed. What | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
we need coming out of an election, and that is the only way this will | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
get sorted is an election, is an Irish language act and an Irish | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
language strategy. And tonight, no soft words from Paul | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Givan. The Irish language has been doing | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
very well through Stormont, and the Ulster Scots has been playing catch | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
up for a long time in respect of that. But Sinn Fein wanted to use | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
that decision in order to try and extract during the selection process | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
damages, as they would see it, upon the DUP, and I was not prepared to | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
allow them to do that. So even the dogs in the street don't | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
know if today heralds any future agreement. | :04:20. | :04:20. | |
So can the Liofa decision help prevent a political | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
crisis at Stormont? It appears not. | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
After a day of meetings, everyone is agreed an election | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
Here's our political correspondent Gareth Gordon. | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
Where the DUP seemingly in reverse, Sinn Fein signalled it was full team | :04:38. | :04:45. | |
ahead. Destination: Election. Martin McGuinness laid out a | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
delegation this morning, and we met with both the British and Irish | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
Lions. We reminded them of their responsibilities as co-guarantors of | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
the Good Friday Agreement in relation to the delivery of | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
equality. We reminded them that the DUP cannot be allowed to continue to | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
block equality and deliver for all of our citizens. Martin made his | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
position very clear when he tendered his resignation in the assembly on | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
Monday. We now need to move to an election. | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
They only allowed two questions and they were off. Nothing else needed | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
saying. The man whose job it is to try and save the day appeared | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
resigned to failure. The reality remains, the | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
hypermobility remains that we are heading towards an election. | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
The Irish government met the parties, then set it to. | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
I said on Monday in the aftermath of the publication of the letter of the | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
then Deputy First Minister that I felt an election was likely. I say | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
now as we move towards the end of the week that that scenario is even | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
more likely. The DUP's critic in chief, Paul | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
Givan's change of heart over Irish language bursaries, was a | :05:59. | :05:59. | |
humiliation. They certainly acted at the demand | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
of Sinn Fein, such as the desperation of the DUP to avoid an | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
election. When it comes to politics here, you | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
never quite rule anything in or out of right now, an election is as | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
close to a certainty as you are going to get. Stormont's committees | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
continue to meet, maybe for the final time. | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
I will advise members that the next meeting of the committee is | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
scheduled to take place on Thursday, January 19, 2025. | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
The laughter, nervous, with good reason. | :06:36. | :06:36. | |
The BBC understands that a radical plan to tackle hospital Waiting | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
lists in Northern Ireland has had to be shelved due to the political | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
Last November the Health Minister, Michelle O'Neill, said | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
she would make a significant announcement in January | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
about a detailed strategy to tackle the soaring lists | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
The Vice President of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine, | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
Sean McGovern has said he and his colleagues feel let down. | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
Political wrangling over Stormont's plan to mitigate the impact | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
of the so-called bedroom tax appears to be coming to an end. | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
The Communities Minister Paul Givan said he will introduce legislation | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
next week which will set up the mitigation scheme. | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
The legislation should have been approved by the Executive | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
but as it is no longer functioning Mr Givan said he will take | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
the extraordinary step of bringing it direct to the Assembly. | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
And The View will have the very latest on all those stories coming | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
up in the next few minutes with Mark Carruthers. | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
Yes, Tara - whether it's bedroom tax, Irish language funding | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
or what looks like the inevitable election, we have the only guests | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
you'd want on a day like this - the DUP's Paul Givan | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
That's The View, here on BBC1 immediately after this bulletin. | :07:42. | :07:50. | |
A Toomebridge man has been jailed for a year for selling fake fire | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
safety glass to the construction industry which was installed | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
at schools, shops and hospitals in Northern Ireland and England. | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
58-year-old Seamus James Laverty, of Deer Park Road, pleaded guilty | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
to 16 counts of fraud at Antrim Crown Court last month | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
Police say that lives had been put in danger. | :08:08. | :08:18. | |
get the forecast. Hello. We are all in very very chilly night | :08:19. | :08:29. | |
as snow showers continued to come in. Warning is enforced through the | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
day tomorrow. On top of that, as temperatures to nightfall to | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
freezing and below, we have the added risk of ice. So through the | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
night as snow showers continue to come and go, problems on the roads | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
first thing. Showers will be hit and miss, not for everyone, so don't be | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
disappointed if you wake up tomorrow morning to no snow, but some of us | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
will, so you may need to clear the car windscreens of snow tomorrow, | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
because it will be a frosty start. Through the day, we hold onto Arctic | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
winds which continue to drive some scattered showers our way. Mainly | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
for high ground areas, some lower-level areas will see a dusting | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
of snow as well, so causing further problems on the roads. | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
The snow showers will most likely be confined to northern areas of | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
Ireland and parts of Scotland first thing. The much of Britain an island | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
tomorrow, not a bad day in terms of dry weather. Plenty of sunshine too, | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
but feeling bitterly cold when you factor in those winds. If you | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
scattered showers will continue to the day across parts of Northern | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
Ireland, here and there, but an awful lot of dry weather too and | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
some crisp sunshine to go out and enjoy. Into tomorrow evening, we | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
continue to see a flow of scattered showers. A bit of a mix of sleet and | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
snow as temperatures rise a little bit, so tomorrow night, 2-3 degrees. | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
For Saturday, temperatures continue to climb, so increasingly, showers | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
fall as rain. We hold onto bitterly cold winds, however. Sunday, | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
temperatures are back into double figures. | :09:52. | :09:52. | |
