:00:27. > :00:39.Our political correspondent Enda McClafferty reports.
:00:40. > :00:44.Politicians are getting an extension. They had been working
:00:45. > :00:51.towards a deadline early next month to rebuild the power-sharing

:01:18. > :01:19.Fein say they are big questions about the commitment of the
:01:20. > :01:28.government to restoring the institutions. It is fair to say that
:01:29. > :01:29.is a growing belief from the nationalist community that the
:01:30. > :01:37.British government did not want this to work because they did not want
:01:38. > :01:44.the people here taking a firm stand on Brexit, because the people here
:01:45. > :01:50.voted for us to stay within the European Union. I am disappointed
:01:51. > :01:55.that deadlines for the beginning of next month are unlikely not to be
:01:56. > :02:00.bit. But there is an obligation on everybody to make sure that the
:02:01. > :02:04.executive and assembly are re-established here at the earliest
:02:05. > :02:19.opportunity. Much of the talk today was about alliances. Sinn Fein Said
:02:20. > :02:24.they were willing to discuss them. But the SDLP said they wanted an
:02:25. > :02:32.alliance of parties opposed to Brexit. We will not form a sectarian
:02:33. > :02:38.pact with one party which would exclude another part of the
:02:39. > :02:43.community. Other parties may want to do that. We want to form an alliance
:02:44. > :02:47.against Brexit. We want the Prime Minister to be a weird that the
:02:48. > :02:51.people here do not want that. No decision has been taken is to bring
:02:52. > :03:00.the current process will start, but the parties still feel a call will
:03:01. > :03:05.be made long before polling day on June the 8th.
:03:06. > :03:07.A five-year-old child was so traumatised by a gun attack
:03:08. > :03:09.on her west Belfast home that she stopped breathing
:03:10. > :03:13.for a time, according to her cousin who was with her during the attack.
:03:14. > :03:15.The shots were fired at the house in Atch-namona
:03:16. > :03:17.Crescent late last night. Martin Cassidy reports.
:03:18. > :03:20.About 10pm last night, shots were fired at a terraced house
:03:21. > :03:22.here in the Crescent and there were two people
:03:23. > :03:25.in the house at the time - one a young woman and also
:03:26. > :03:37.I just thought someone had put the fist and banged
:03:38. > :03:42.But then there was another one, then another one.
:03:43. > :03:44.I just stood in the room and my cousin
:03:45. > :04:03.They escaped injury, but the little girl was traumatised by
:04:04. > :04:06.They were beating on the heart of the five-year-old.
:04:07. > :04:21.Eventually, she did start breathing again. But the five-year-old did
:04:22. > :04:23.stop believing. The attack has been
:04:24. > :04:32.condemned by Sinn Fein. It is clear the attackers who fired
:04:33. > :04:35.through the windows of the house did not care who the target was,
:04:36. > :04:38.there was a young woman with a five-year-old and we're
:04:39. > :04:41.grateful none of them were harmed. People in this area and the family
:04:42. > :04:44.are asking why this attack happened, because no-one has
:04:45. > :04:47.explained to them why it occurred The people who carried out
:04:48. > :05:03.this attack must come Hiddink police enquiries
:05:04. > :05:10.A public meeting has taken place in Roslea in protest at the closure
:05:11. > :05:14.The former GP retired last year and patients have
:05:15. > :05:15.now been transferred to a surgery in Lisnaskea.
:05:16. > :05:18.The meeting heard from people who now face a round trip of
:05:19. > :05:21.30 miles in an area poorly served by public transport.
:05:22. > :05:23.But they were told no doctors applied to take

:05:39. > :05:46.governments and providing best practice and they think that can be
:05:47. > :05:58.best provided with an a system of peer support. And it is very
:05:59. > :05:59.difficult to find the law comes. We are establishing a good practice in
:06:00. > :06:01.this new arrangement. A former international cricketer has
:06:02. > :06:04.been found guilty of possessing a hammer and assaulting
:06:05. > :06:06.a doorman outside a pub 61-year-old Rodney Ontong,
:06:07. > :06:09.who is originally from South Africa but now lives at Elm Court
:06:10. > :06:12.in the city, was fined ?350. The court heard that the doorman has
:06:13. > :06:15.left his job and his doctor believes he now has

:06:21. > :06:23.in County Antrim are opposing plans to land power cables
:06:24. > :06:25.from an proposed tidal The company says Murlough Bay
:06:26. > :06:29.is just one option and there will be planning conditions attached
:06:30. > :06:31.to any approval. Here is our Agriculture
:06:32. > :06:32.and Environment Correspondent, It is one of the most picturesque
:06:33. > :06:42.places along the coastline. A designated place of
:06:43. > :06:46.scientific interest. It also has strong sea curerent,
:06:47. > :06:48.hence its attaction The final design for the tidal
:06:49. > :06:53.energy scheme has not been put forward, but is believed to include
:06:54. > :06:55.certain elements which would stick Given that this is such
:06:56. > :07:02.a breathtaking part of the countryside, there
:07:03. > :07:04.are reservations about how the power cables get on to the land and get
:07:05. > :07:21.hooked up into the grid. And that is where
:07:22. > :07:28.the problems start. Patrick is worried about the cables
:07:29. > :07:31.coming ashore here and a new power station having to be
:07:32. > :07:37.built on the cliffs. It would create a massive
:07:38. > :07:44.scar on the landscape. It would also take
:07:45. > :07:50.many years to achieve. If that is really the thinking
:07:51. > :07:53.about this proposal, there are certain to be
:07:54. > :07:59.a lot of objections. The other would be a much longer
:08:00. > :08:04.and more expensive undersea cable If this gets the go-ahead,
:08:05. > :08:12.there will be a range of conditions We hope to work with the various
:08:13. > :08:18.residents, interest groups and licensing authorities,
:08:19. > :08:24.with regard to that. The energy company
:08:25. > :08:26.has only applied for permission for what it
:08:27. > :08:30.wants to build at sea. A plan for the onshore substation
:08:31. > :08:32.is expected to be submitted But most 15-year-olds

:09:02. > :09:07.but are they happy? The OECD asked half a million
:09:08. > :09:09.pupils in 70 countries to score how satisfied
:09:10. > :09:11.with their lives they were. From a zero, which meant
:09:12. > :09:14.they were very unhappy, to a ten, which meant
:09:15. > :09:17.they were very happy indeed. The average life satisfaction
:09:18. > :09:19.score in Northern Ireland was 7.24 out of ten,
:09:20. > :09:21.around the European average but higher than England,
:09:22. > :09:22.Scotland and Wales. But what about young
:09:23. > :09:34.people in West Belfast? I am working hard
:09:35. > :09:44.and I have support. Have good relationships
:09:45. > :10:02.with my friends. When you test yourself
:10:03. > :10:08.and get the results you want, that also gives
:10:09. > :10:13.you motivation. The study also found
:10:14. > :10:15.pupils performed best when they talked regularly
:10:16. > :10:24.with their parents about school. He says you should go and get
:10:25. > :10:30.help with your GCSEs. School can only help the children
:10:31. > :10:33.for so long in a day and then they The strategy at school is one
:10:34. > :10:37.we hope will be carried through That is what we are
:10:38. > :10:41.attempting to do. It wasn't all plain sailing,
:10:42. > :10:44.there are still worries about exams and bullying remains a problem
:10:45. > :10:47.but what this study suggests is that contrary to some of the stereotypes,
:10:48. > :10:49.the majority of our teenagers are happy, ambitious
:10:50. > :10:59.and highly motivated. The next fight for the Belfast boxer

:12:06. > :12:13.during the course of the day. The yearly rain and drizzle should ease
