The UK is going to the polls on the 8th of June, an early | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
Westminster election called by the Prime Minister before | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
As our political correspondent Stephen Walker reports, | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
over the coming days, potential pacts in key | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
Once a snap general election was a long shot, | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
Every poll creates winners and losers, and Northern Ireland | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
Already, some are suggesting the general election of 2017 has | :00:34. | :00:44. | |
created its first casualty - the talks process and devolution. | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
I think quite frankly, we're seeing the freezer bags come out | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
and the deep-frost button being pressed in the Assembly, | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
But if that makes this place the centre of politics | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
for Northern Ireland, then we need to make sure | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
we have a strong DUP team here working for all the people | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
By calling the election during the talks process, | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
some think the Prime Minister has disregarded the wishes | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
She has shown no interest anyway in Northern Ireland so far. | :01:13. | :01:25. | |
She has hardly ever been to Northern Ireland, | :01:26. | :01:26. | |
How she can do anything over the next seven weeks? | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
It's just a disgrace what they're doing. | :01:35. | :01:35. | |
Others insist that the Prime Minister is putting | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
Yet again, we have Theresa May acting with the Tory Party in a very | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
selfish way about protecting Tory Party interests, | :01:43. | :01:43. | |
rather than protecting the needs of the people of Northern Ireland. | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
It's not just devolution that's on the minds of unionists. | :01:49. | :01:58. | |
Their co-operation in key Westminster seats helps | :01:59. | :01:59. | |
I'm sure there will be discussions over the next few days | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
of where we can come to the best agreements around | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
What we want to do is make sure we have representation | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
There is no point electing people that will not take their seats in | :02:12. | :02:22. | |
The election will take place on Thursday, June 8th, | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
meaning Parliamentary time is running out. | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
Within days, emergency financial measures needed in the absence | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
of the Stormont Executive will be pushed through here, | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
in advance of the dissolution of Parliament in May. | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
So the starting pistol has been fired for an early general election. | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
Our second poll this year. Get ready for leaflets, posters, TV debates | :02:44. | :02:44. | |
and election broadcasts. A motorcyclist has died | :02:45. | :02:51. | |

that the police investigation into the fake online modelling | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
agency began last year. A woman had told police that she had | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
been contacted via Facebook by a modelling agency | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
based in London. More contact was made by another | :03:56. | :04:01. | |

photographs of herself fully The police said that | :04:06. | :04:08. | |

are out of action because of theft or vandalism, the city's | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
council has revealed. The damage is costing ratepayers | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
about ?20,000 a year and is putting future plans to extend | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
the scheme in jeopardy. Over the Easter weekend, | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
19 of the bikes were stolen and only Our call is for members of the | :04:55. | :05:07. | |

CCTV and watch people take these bikes and do nothing about it. We | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
are not encouraging people to interact with people taking by | :05:17. | :05:20. | |

The stars and planets have had a special impact on an autistic | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
Hayden Geraghty didn't speak his first words until he was three. | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
But that changed when he watched British astronaut Tim Peake's | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
And he's been talking about space ever since. | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
Our reporter Declan Harvey caught up with Hayden | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
Still a little shy at times, but Hayden Geraghty | :06:07. | :06:14. | |
is unrecognisable from the boy he was just over a year ago. | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
He didn't like much eye contact and his speech was very delayed. | :06:19. | :06:27. | |
But all that changed in December 2015, when Major Tim Peake became | :06:28. | :06:36. | |
the first British astronaut to blast off to the International | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
He started doing the countdown, right up to the blastoff. | :06:39. | :06:49. | |
This was the first real length conversation or sentence from him. | :06:50. | :06:58. | |
I never imagined how it's developed on. | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
What planet is it that you want to go to? | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
Can you tell him whereabouts Mars is? | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
It's the fourth planet away from the sun. | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
Hayden met his hero in Belfast last year. | :07:18. | :07:18. | |
He's also the youngest member of the Astronomy Ireland Club. | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
It's transformed Hayden with his learning, development and speech. | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
That wee personality, that we used to worry | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
about if we were ever going to really find out | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
The charity Autism And I have said there are things that other families | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
That despite the challenges and differences that come | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
with autism, there are many positives - and sometimes, | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
A firefighter from Omagh has been hailed a hero after coming | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
to the help of a runner during the Boston Marathon. | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
Crew Commander Terry Canning, who's pictured here on the right, | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
saw that an American runner was overcome with heat | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
Along with another competitor from Chile, he helped carry her up | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
to the finishing line, then set her down so she | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
He said it was the right thing to do. | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
Time for a check on the weather forecast now. | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
Good evening, a lot of dry weather this month and we do not expect much | :08:15. | :08:29. | |
rain. Spots of drizzle the night and otherwise fairly cloudy and mild | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
temperatures not much lower than seven, 8 degrees. Some of the cloud | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
quite low and sitting on the Hills so a bit dull and dreary tomorrow | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
but hopefully we will see brightness is developing later and a bit of | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
sunshine. Drizzle here and there in the morning, but not too much and it | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
will disappear and a good part of the day will be dry but fairly | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
cloudy. Lovely weather towards the South Coast of Ireland with | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
sunshine, and towards London and South East England before it starts | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
the cloud, edging southwards. It wet day for North West Scotland with | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
persistent drizzly rain and hill fog and showers elsewhere. That is the | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
case for Northern Ireland, a lot of dry weather, quite cloudy, drizzly | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
showers and where it brightens which is more likely in the used, it feels | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
quite pleasant and temperatures could hit 15, 16 degrees. A weather | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
front on Friday moving South bringing rain for a while, but | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
nothing heavy, and temperatures will fall after that so it will be cooler | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
this weekend, but we expect a lot of dry weather. Rain for a time on | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
Friday and it may brighten in places, temperatures fall, at 11 | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
degrees towards the North coast. And on Saturday, more typically 10 | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
degrees but hopefully with that cooler air, we will see a bit of | :09:49. | :09:49. | |
sunshine as well. Our next BBC Newsline | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
