This is BBC Newsline with Donna Traynor. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Tributes have been paid to Ryan McBride - | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
the captain of Derry City's football team who died | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
just a day after he led his side to another league victory. | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
Hundreds of people lined the streets tonight | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
as his coffin was carried to his home. | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
He was a warrior on the field of play and a quiet, | :00:23. | :00:31. | |
Ryan McBride only ever wanted to play for his hometown club | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
and was delighted to be given the captain's armband two years ago. | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
He died suddenly at his home in the Brandywell last night. | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
It's right next to the stadium where he turned out for the Candystripes. | :00:45. | :01:02. | |
Devastated players gather to remember a highly popular player | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
with all union. This is going to be a difficult one for everyone in the | :01:10. | :01:20. | |
city. And the players loved Ryan. He was a perfect example to any young | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
player coming through. 14, 15. He never gave 99%. | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
The club's chief executive says contract negotiations | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
with Ryan McBride were always straightforward | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
as he was a passionate fan of the club as a young boy. | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
Our main man, Captain fantastic, old superlatives you use | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
or all for him, 100%, call it what you want, | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
he was our man and we are devastated as a football family. | :01:50. | :02:00. | |
He just love playing for Derry City. He loved being captain. He was | :02:01. | :02:11. | |
turning into the best defender in Irish league football. And you could | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
only see him getting better. It is just so sad that it has been cut | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
short. The Football Association of Ireland | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
will remember Ryan McBride with a tribute at the World Cup | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
qualifier against Wales The FAI said Irish | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
football was in mourning. Irish President Michael D | :02:24. | :02:33. | |
Higgins led the tributes, clubs and former players | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
across Ireland and beyond. While Derry City fans | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
reflect on a huge loss, the wider community | :02:39. | :02:48. | |
will be affected also. He is only a young man with a big | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
career in front of him, coming from The community is deeply | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
hurt and deeply The funeral will take place on | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
Thursday. A former soldier has been in court | :02:58. | :03:14. | |
charged over the killing of a man Dennis Hutchings led an army | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
patrol which carried out 43 years after his patrol shot dead | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
a man with learning difficulties, former colour sergeant Dennis | :03:23. | :03:36. | |
Hutchings finds himself in court. John Pat Cunningham had the mental | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
age of a child aged between six and ten at the time | :03:40. | :03:50. | |
of his death. His family say he had a fear of men | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
in uniform and it was perhaps best that prompted him | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
to take the fateful decision to run away from an army patrol | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
he encountered near Benburb. The preliminary inquiry will decide | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
whether or not to send Dennis Among the witnesses | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
were a former military policeman who was | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
first on the scene. The former military policeman told | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
the court that on the day in question he had seized an SLR rifle | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
at the scene from a soldier. He was asked why he | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
had done this and he said this was normal practice | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
when you suspected a weapon Asked why he suspected | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
as particular weapon had been fired, he said, | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
"I was told it had been." He was asked who had told him | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
and he said "the defendant". Summing up, the judge said that | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
Dennis Hutchings had shot dead a vulnerable and innocent man | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
and all this must be Sinn Fein say the Prime Minister | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
will receive a clear anti Brexit message from the party | :04:46. | :05:17. | |
when she visits Northern Ireland. Theresa May will trigger Article 50 | :05:18. | :05:17. | |
on Wednesday next week. Our Political Editor | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
Mark Devenport reports. Theresa May was in Wales at the | :05:20. | :05:30. | |
start of a UK-wide tour today. Despite those to remain in both | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland, she is stressing that the UK will leave | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
the EU as one United Kingdom. When people voted in a referendum last | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
year I think they did vote for change. They voted for a change in | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
the way the country works, to make sure it works for everyone, not just | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
a privileged few. It is unclear whether the Prime Minister will make | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
time to see politicians at Stormont Castle, where the politicians remain | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
locked in talks, but if she does the message from Sinn Fein will be | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
forthright. Obviously the people here voted in majority to remain in | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
the EU, so the British government are acting against the express | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
wishes of the people here who want to stay within Europe, so we will be | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
making that message very clear to them. We will make that message very | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
clear to her, that this is bad news for the people of Ireland. With one | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
week to go until the deadline in restoring devolution, there is no | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
sign of a breakthrough in the Stormont talks. With the UK formally | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
triggering its departure from the European Union on Wednesday next | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
week, the attention of most politicians at Westminster will be | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
focused on Brexit rather than the deadlock here. | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
More wreckage from the Irish coastguard helicopter which crashed | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
last week has been found near Blacksod lighthouse off | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
One crew member died, three others are missing. | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
Bad weather has hampered the search. | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
Health trusts are funding private care homes to try to reduce | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
the number of people staying in hospital because | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
there isn't a suitable care package in the community. | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
Around a hundred and twenty people are unable to leave | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
Our Health Correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly has more. | :07:09. | :07:18. | |
After breaking her hip, this 86-year-old was sent to the | :07:19. | :07:28. | |
independent care home to recuperate, funded by the Belfast Health Trust. | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
The one-to-one care meant she wasn't left in hospital. | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
The minute I was wheeled in, the atmosphere hit me. | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
The atmosphere and the homeliness and the friendliness and the food, | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
And I was hungry for my food, I was hungry | :07:44. | :07:53. | |
in the morning getting up for my breakfast. | :07:54. | :08:01. | |
Every day, 120 people cannot be discharged from hospital | :08:02. | :08:02. | |
because there is not enough caves facilities. | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
It is hoped this type of facility will be more efficient. | :08:08. | :08:16. | |
It is definitely in demand because there are difficulties with packages | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
of kid at home and obviously the more independent someone | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
is the less help they will need in the | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
Those 65 and over are expected to increase in numbers by 2025 | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
Despite government attempts to use less residential care and | :08:34. | :08:47. | |
look after people in their own homes, that has slowed down | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
and it is speculated that is because there is not enough | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
In the past three years, we have gone through for health ministers. | :08:54. | :09:05. | |
We need to have a consistent, constant approach to that reform and | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
Well a range of community care services are offered, | :09:09. | :09:16. | |
judging by waiting lists, demand is outstripping supply. | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
A Commons committee says the government should consider | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
giving the local tourism industry a tax break after Brexit. | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
The industry would like to see its VAT rate more than halved. | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
Here's our Economics and Business Editor John Campbell. | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
The local tourism sector has been on the up for more than 20 years. | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
Attractions like this have helped grow it into a wealthy business. | :09:44. | :09:56. | |
It points to competition from south of the border. | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
Tourism businesses south of the border pay just 9% VAT. | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
EU law generally events member countries from varying | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
That means at present the government cannot get Northern Ireland tourism | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
a special deal, but after Brexit there will be more flexibility | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
and there therefore the potential for a tax cut. | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
We want the government to look closely at the benefits | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
that the Republic of Ireland appear to have gained when | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
It seems to have done a great deal of good there. | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
The tourism trade has been asking for this for a long time. | :10:37. | :10:44. | |
But it is not just the EU that is a barrier to this policy. The UK | :10:45. | :10:53. | |
Treasury is sceptical. It says any reduction in tax revenue is matched | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
by a reduction in the money Stormont gets from Westminster. The Northern | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
Ireland Minister of Finance should be prepared to make this a priority. | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
A hotel building boom in Belfast suggests an industry with some | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
confidence about the future. Just what extra support and incentives it | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
needs will be a matter for the next executive. | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
Now here's our investigations reporter Kevin Magee with a story | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
he'll have on tomorrow's BBC Newsline. | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
Tomorrow, we reveal the story of a Belfast man who confessed to police | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
in 1985 that he was a serial child abuser, but who never faced justice. | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
We found him living openly here in northern Canada. | :11:41. | :11:41. | |
More on that exclusive story from Kevin Magee | :11:42. | :11:43. | |
Here's Geoff Maskell with the weather. | :11:44. | :11:55. | |
Good evening. It is a cold night across Northern Ireland. There is a | :11:56. | :12:03. | |
severe weather warning in place for both snow and ice. Showers from the | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
West will become increasingly wintry overnight with temperatures dropping | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
to below zero. Snow falling on the hills and at lower levels as well. | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
Ice will be a problem so that will be a challenge for the gritters to | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
get the salt down between the showers. Tomorrow, a chilly start | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
and then a mixture of sunshine and showers, some of them wintry in the | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
West, further east we have more chance of seeing a bit of | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
brightness. We saw temperatures of 11 Celsius across parts of County | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
Down this afternoon. We will not get anything like as warm as that | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
tomorrow. We are in a cold air mass across the North, with the fun | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
sitting in the middle and some warmer temperatures ahead of that | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
for south-east England. There, they will see double-figure temperatures. | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
For us, Tuesday night in who wins they could be the coldest bit of the | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
week. The Wings wardrop allowing the cold air to pool advocacy | :13:07. | :13:14. | |
temperatures of -3 in some places. Dry and the West on Wednesday, but | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
some positive news as we get through this week. We will see a ridge of | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
high pressure building, helping out temperatures which will start to | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
recover towards the end of this week. | :13:26. | :13:27. |
