:04:42. > :04:45.and all this must be Sinn Fein say the Prime Minister
:04:46. > :05:17.will receive a clear anti Brexit message from the party
:05:18. > :05:17.when she visits Northern Ireland. Theresa May will trigger Article 50
:05:18. > :05:19.on Wednesday next week. Our Political Editor
:05:20. > :05:30.Mark Devenport reports. Theresa May was in Wales at the
:05:31. > :05:34.start of a UK-wide tour today. Despite those to remain in both
:05:35. > :05:39.Scotland and Northern Ireland, she is stressing that the UK will leave
:05:40. > :05:43.the EU as one United Kingdom. When people voted in a referendum last
:05:44. > :05:48.year I think they did vote for change. They voted for a change in
:05:49. > :05:52.the way the country works, to make sure it works for everyone, not just
:05:53. > :05:56.a privileged few. It is unclear whether the Prime Minister will make
:05:57. > :06:00.time to see politicians at Stormont Castle, where the politicians remain
:06:01. > :06:04.locked in talks, but if she does the message from Sinn Fein will be
:06:05. > :06:08.forthright. Obviously the people here voted in majority to remain in
:06:09. > :06:12.the EU, so the British government are acting against the express
:06:13. > :06:15.wishes of the people here who want to stay within Europe, so we will be
:06:16. > :06:21.making that message very clear to them. We will make that message very
:06:22. > :06:25.clear to her, that this is bad news for the people of Ireland. With one
:06:26. > :06:29.week to go until the deadline in restoring devolution, there is no
:06:30. > :06:33.sign of a breakthrough in the Stormont talks. With the UK formally
:06:34. > :06:37.triggering its departure from the European Union on Wednesday next
:06:38. > :06:40.week, the attention of most politicians at Westminster will be
:06:41. > :06:43.focused on Brexit rather than the deadlock here.
:06:44. > :06:45.More wreckage from the Irish coastguard helicopter which crashed
:06:46. > :06:47.last week has been found near Blacksod lighthouse off
:06:48. > :06:51.One crew member died, three others are missing.
:06:52. > :06:56.Bad weather has hampered the search.
:06:57. > :07:01.Health trusts are funding private care homes to try to reduce
:07:02. > :07:03.the number of people staying in hospital because
:07:04. > :07:05.there isn't a suitable care package in the community.
:07:06. > :07:08.Around a hundred and twenty people are unable to leave
:07:09. > :07:18.Our Health Correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly has more.
:07:19. > :07:28.After breaking her hip, this 86-year-old was sent to the
:07:29. > :07:33.independent care home to recuperate, funded by the Belfast Health Trust.
:07:34. > :07:37.The one-to-one care meant she wasn't left in hospital.
:07:38. > :07:40.The minute I was wheeled in, the atmosphere hit me.
:07:41. > :07:43.The atmosphere and the homeliness and the friendliness and the food,
:07:44. > :07:53.And I was hungry for my food, I was hungry
:07:54. > :08:01.in the morning getting up for my breakfast.
:08:02. > :08:02.Every day, 120 people cannot be discharged from hospital
:08:03. > :08:07.because there is not enough caves facilities.
:08:08. > :08:16.It is hoped this type of facility will be more efficient.
:08:17. > :08:21.It is definitely in demand because there are difficulties with packages
:08:22. > :08:24.of kid at home and obviously the more independent someone
:08:25. > :08:30.is the less help they will need in the
:08:31. > :08:33.Those 65 and over are expected to increase in numbers by 2025
:08:34. > :08:47.Despite government attempts to use less residential care and
:08:48. > :08:50.look after people in their own homes, that has slowed down
:08:51. > :08:53.and it is speculated that is because there is not enough
:08:54. > :09:05.In the past three years, we have gone through for health ministers.
:09:06. > :09:08.We need to have a consistent, constant approach to that reform and
:09:09. > :09:16.Well a range of community care services are offered,
:09:17. > :09:21.judging by waiting lists, demand is outstripping supply.
:09:22. > :09:28.A Commons committee says the government should consider
:09:29. > :09:30.giving the local tourism industry a tax break after Brexit.
:09:31. > :09:33.The industry would like to see its VAT rate more than halved.
:09:34. > :09:36.Here's our Economics and Business Editor John Campbell.
:09:37. > :09:43.The local tourism sector has been on the up for more than 20 years.
:09:44. > :09:56.Attractions like this have helped grow it into a wealthy business.
:09:57. > :10:00.It points to competition from south of the border.
:10:01. > :10:04.Tourism businesses south of the border pay just 9% VAT.
:10:05. > :10:12.EU law generally events member countries from varying
:10:13. > :10:19.That means at present the government cannot get Northern Ireland tourism
:10:20. > :10:22.a special deal, but after Brexit there will be more flexibility
:10:23. > :10:26.and there therefore the potential for a tax cut.
:10:27. > :10:29.We want the government to look closely at the benefits
:10:30. > :10:31.that the Republic of Ireland appear to have gained when
:10:32. > :10:36.It seems to have done a great deal of good there.
:10:37. > :10:44.The tourism trade has been asking for this for a long time.
:10:45. > :10:53.But it is not just the EU that is a barrier to this policy. The UK
:10:54. > :10:56.Treasury is sceptical. It says any reduction in tax revenue is matched
:10:57. > :11:04.by a reduction in the money Stormont gets from Westminster. The Northern
:11:05. > :11:09.Ireland Minister of Finance should be prepared to make this a priority.
:11:10. > :11:13.A hotel building boom in Belfast suggests an industry with some
:11:14. > :11:17.confidence about the future. Just what extra support and incentives it
:11:18. > :11:20.needs will be a matter for the next executive.
:11:21. > :11:22.Now here's our investigations reporter Kevin Magee with a story
:11:23. > :11:27.he'll have on tomorrow's BBC Newsline.
:11:28. > :11:35.Tomorrow, we reveal the story of a Belfast man who confessed to police
:11:36. > :11:40.in 1985 that he was a serial child abuser, but who never faced justice.
:11:41. > :11:41.We found him living openly here in northern Canada.
:11:42. > :11:43.More on that exclusive story from Kevin Magee
:11:44. > :11:55.Here's Geoff Maskell with the weather.
:11:56. > :12:03.Good evening. It is a cold night across Northern Ireland. There is a
:12:04. > :12:07.severe weather warning in place for both snow and ice. Showers from the
:12:08. > :12:14.West will become increasingly wintry overnight with temperatures dropping
:12:15. > :12:19.to below zero. Snow falling on the hills and at lower levels as well.
:12:20. > :12:26.Ice will be a problem so that will be a challenge for the gritters to
:12:27. > :12:31.get the salt down between the showers. Tomorrow, a chilly start
:12:32. > :12:36.and then a mixture of sunshine and showers, some of them wintry in the
:12:37. > :12:40.West, further east we have more chance of seeing a bit of
:12:41. > :12:45.brightness. We saw temperatures of 11 Celsius across parts of County
:12:46. > :12:50.Down this afternoon. We will not get anything like as warm as that
:12:51. > :12:53.tomorrow. We are in a cold air mass across the North, with the fun
:12:54. > :12:57.sitting in the middle and some warmer temperatures ahead of that
:12:58. > :13:01.for south-east England. There, they will see double-figure temperatures.
:13:02. > :13:06.For us, Tuesday night in who wins they could be the coldest bit of the
:13:07. > :13:14.week. The Wings wardrop allowing the cold air to pool advocacy
:13:15. > :13:18.temperatures of -3 in some places. Dry and the West on Wednesday, but
:13:19. > :13:22.some positive news as we get through this week. We will see a ridge of
:13:23. > :13:25.high pressure building, helping out temperatures which will start to
:13:26. > :13:27.recover towards the end of this week.
