:00:34. > :00:36.Last year during the inquest into their deaths, new evidence

:00:42. > :00:50.That evidence involved a palm print, discovered on a stolen van recovered

:01:27. > :01:31.The PPS is mindful of the reaction of the families.
:01:32. > :01:40.They were informed of the decision this morning. I was sceptical to
:01:41. > :01:42.start with but then as the months went on I thought there must be on
:01:43. > :01:44.to something. But then the policemen came
:01:45. > :01:47.to my door this morning to give me the file setting out all the reasons
:01:48. > :01:51.why the PPS didn't go ahead with it So I have to accept
:01:52. > :01:55.that this was going nowhere. We deserve to get the truth,
:01:56. > :02:03.we are never going to get justice, but we deserve the truth,
:02:04. > :02:10.and all their families... The coroner's office has confirmed
:02:11. > :02:14.that in light of the PPS decision, it is now giving consideration
:02:15. > :02:17.to the scheduling of dates for the Kingsmills inquest
:02:18. > :02:18.to recommence. This news from the prosecution
:02:19. > :02:20.service is a knock-back for the families of
:02:21. > :02:22.the Kingsmills victims. The focus now falls back
:02:23. > :02:30.on to the coroner's enquiry. The Secretary of State has told
:02:31. > :02:33.business leaders here that he wants a return to devolved government
:02:34. > :02:35.after the election. James Brokenshire was addressing
:02:36. > :02:37.the Institute of Directors in Northern Ireland,
:02:38. > :02:51.where Brexit also dominated More than 200 delegates from the
:02:52. > :02:54.Institute of directors gathered in Belfast with an assembly election in
:02:55. > :02:58.the offering and Brexit knocking on the door. For the newly appointed
:02:59. > :03:03.Belfast born director general of Northern Ireland is at the heart of
:03:04. > :03:07.the negotiations over leaving the EU. The border and ASCII puts
:03:08. > :03:10.Northern Ireland front and centre of the negotiations because it has such
:03:11. > :03:17.an impact. There are a lot of people moving between the border because of
:03:18. > :03:19.work and education, there are 32,000 border crossings every day and half
:03:20. > :03:36.relate to business and education so we mustn't
:03:37. > :03:38.interrupt that flow in any way. The lack of devolved government is also
:03:39. > :03:40.causing concern. There was real frustration in the business
:03:41. > :03:42.community that we're getting very close to the triggering of Article
:03:43. > :03:44.50 and we don't have our politicians and the institutions representing
:03:45. > :03:47.the members here in Northern Ireland and uncertainty is one of the most
:03:48. > :03:50.difficult things for business to deal with. If they know they are
:03:51. > :03:52.dealing with and they can have a plan and they can react to move
:03:53. > :03:54.things forward but Northern Ireland business people are used to
:03:55. > :04:03.uncertainty, it is an occupational hazard there. I for 1am not
:04:04. > :04:09.contemplating any other outcome but a resumption of devolved partnership
:04:10. > :04:13.government. That is what people in Northern Ireland want and it is what
:04:14. > :04:16.we are working to deliver. Certainty of any kind will be welcomed by
:04:17. > :04:19.Meanwhile, Sinn Fein's Stormont leader Michelle O'Neill says
:04:20. > :04:21.James Brokenshire should not have a role in negotiations
:04:22. > :04:24.On tonight's edition of The View Ms O'Neill was asked
:04:25. > :04:27.if she thought the Secretary of State could be an honest
:04:28. > :04:43.If you look at his actions to date, for example his comments in relation
:04:44. > :04:46.to British soldiers and how he is ignoring the views of the people in
:04:47. > :04:51.the North who want to stay in the European Union, if you look at his
:04:52. > :04:54.one-sided and partisan views on a lot of things, I don't believe James
:04:55. > :04:56.Brokenshire is an honest broker, no, I don't.
:04:57. > :04:58.And you can watch that interview with Michelle O'Neill straight
:04:59. > :05:03.The inquest into the death of a man who died after leaving a ward
:05:04. > :05:05.at the Ulster Hospital has heard of more concerns by experts
:05:06. > :05:07.in psychiatry about the way he was cared for.
:05:08. > :05:09.22-year-old, James Fenton lay undetected for ten weeks.
:05:10. > :05:24.This is Ward 27, the mental health unit at the Ulster Hospital, with a
:05:25. > :05:28.smoking area outside. 22-year-old James Fenton was admitted there one
:05:29. > :05:32.night in July 2010 and by then he was a troubled young man. He had
:05:33. > :05:37.been ill and his family were relieved, said to the hospital would
:05:38. > :05:43.look after him. Today two consultant psychiatrists expressed severe
:05:44. > :05:47.concern about how they did. Both men were based in England that had
:05:48. > :05:49.written reports for the Foreign Office for the Fenton family. Both
:05:50. > :05:54.questioned the hospital diagnosis they believed James was clinically
:05:55. > :05:59.depressed and they question the level of supervision he received on
:06:00. > :06:04.the ward. One professor said he had a number of concerns about the
:06:05. > :06:07.medical care. He said he did not think that placing Mr Fenton on
:06:08. > :06:12.routine observation was an appropriate decision. Doctor Trevor
:06:13. > :06:16.Turner concluded the hospital did not take appropriate steps to
:06:17. > :06:21.safeguard his health given the real and immediate rescue showed. In
:06:22. > :06:25.court yesterday two other consultant psychiatrists said they disagreed
:06:26. > :06:30.with these conclusions. One of them is a director of mental health
:06:31. > :06:35.services at the south-eastern trust. He defended the hospital diagnosis
:06:36. > :06:39.and actions. It is almost seven years since James Fenton left the
:06:40. > :06:44.ward and was lost just a few dozen metres away. His family has now
:06:45. > :06:46.spent four days listening to the evidence of 20 witnesses. Tomorrow
:06:47. > :06:48.the coroner will issue its findings. Tomorrow the coroner
:06:49. > :06:50.will issue its findings. The number of agency workers doing
:06:51. > :06:52.jobs in the Northern Ireland The department of finance says
:06:53. > :06:56.the use of agency workers is normal But a trade union has described
:06:57. > :07:02.the situation as disgraceful, believing too many people
:07:03. > :07:16.were paid-off under a Stormont For the Northern Ireland executive
:07:17. > :07:20.to be spending ?10 million a year on agency staff is disgraceful. It
:07:21. > :07:24.would equate to roughly 300 permanent full-time jobs so you are
:07:25. > :07:27.borrowing money, paying interest, and putting people out of work and
:07:28. > :07:32.then the next day you go to sector company and say you let too many
:07:33. > :07:37.people go, can we hire from your company? Some of the same people
:07:38. > :07:39.back again so you also paying the agency and all around in Ireland
:07:40. > :07:43.loses, loses, loses. A jury has begun considering its
:07:44. > :07:45.verdict in the trial of a West Belfast man accused
:07:46. > :07:47.of killing his baby daughter. Christopher O'Neill,
:07:48. > :07:49.from the Whiterock Road, has pleaded not guilty to murdering
:07:50. > :07:51.three-month-old Caragh She died two days after
:07:52. > :07:56.being taken to hospital Mr O'Neill denies the prosecution
:07:57. > :08:02.case that he lost control and used considerable violence
:08:03. > :08:13.against the infant. Sarah Keane has replaced Pat Hickey

:08:24. > :08:26.resigned from the post after he was arrested at Brazil at the Olympic
:08:27. > :08:29.Games. He was charged with ticket touting although he was eventually
:08:30. > :08:30.released on bail and is now back in Ireland.
:08:31. > :08:32.It's been quite chilly today, let's see how it looks for tomorrow.
:08:33. > :08:41.There is not much sign of it warming up in the next few days but at least
:08:42. > :08:45.it will stay mostly dry. Tonight a lot of cloud around but it only has
:08:46. > :08:48.to break briefly to allow temperatures to drop to around
:08:49. > :08:52.freezing or just below. A couple of wintry showers here and there as
:08:53. > :08:57.well which could dampen surfaces and lead to the risk of a few icy spots
:08:58. > :09:00.tomorrow. Not a widespread frost but there could be frost here and there
:09:01. > :09:17.tomorrow and it will be another cold day. In the breeze at all will feel
:09:18. > :09:20.absolutely bitter. Bacardi started most places with a few which we
:09:21. > :09:23.should bloggers around. By and large dry data, brightening up as the
:09:24. > :09:25.brighter skies edged down from Scotland and across much of Northern
:09:26. > :09:28.Ireland. It will be quite cloudy and cold in the Republic of Ireland and
:09:29. > :09:30.sleet and snow showers in North Sea coastal areas. It is cold
:09:31. > :09:32.everywhere. Temperatures really struggling and tomorrow temperatures
:09:33. > :09:35.will not get higher than four or five. It will eventually brighten up
:09:36. > :09:39.the sunshine by the end of the day. It needs to clear frosty nights on
:09:40. > :09:44.Friday and brighter and sunny day on Saturday to start the weekend. Cold
:09:45. > :09:47.and frosty to begin with. It looks as though cloudy skies will return
:09:48. > :09:53.on Sunday with a few flurries but on the whole will be dry.
