Infrastructure Minister John O'Dowd says mutualisation would lead to household water bills
Pacemaker
Stormont's infrastructure minister has ruled out mutualising NI Water, saying it would inevitably mean household water bills.
Mutualisation would involve converting NI Water from a government company to one owned by its customers.
MLAs have been debating a UUP motion calling for a review of NI Water which could involve mutualisation.
John O'Dowd said while the principle of a mutual company may appear to have merits, it would involve charging.
"Fundamentally a mutual company requires a guaranteed and predictable funding stream which is not subject to direct political control or competing public sector priorities," Mr O'Dowd told the Assembly on Monday.
"Mutualisation leads directly to domestic water charges, there's no other way around it," he added.
"If you want to go down the mutualisation route you end up charging hard-pressed workers and families directly for water."

Little is known about the new brand
Reuters
The Duchess of Sussex has launched what appears to be a new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
The surprise unveiling was made on Thursday with a new Instagram account and web page containing few details.
Meghan closed her former lifestyle brand, The Tig, upon her engagement to marry the Duke of Sussex.
Since stepping back from official royal duties, she has embarked on media ventures, many aimed at female audiences.
There are few details about the new brand available.
The American Riviera Orchard Instagram account features a brief, grainy video showing hands arranging flowers, Meghan stirring a pot in a kitchen, and a woman in a ballgown standing at the end of a long colonnade.
The website includes the brand logo and a prompt to sign up for a waiting list.

A planning application from a zoo and animal rescue centre has been turned down because it may cause "harm" to the Green Belt.
Wildway Wildlife Ltd applied for temporary permission to operate a "small mini zoo and animal education centre" on land at Lower Mount Farm near Cookham, Berkshire.
Cookham Zoo has an unpaid team of about nine people and about 70 animals.
Windsor and Maidenhead Borough Council refused the retrospective application.
Its finding follows an earlier decision to refuse the zoo a license.

President Joe Biden has promised Israel "ironclad" US support amid fears that Tehran could launch reprisals for an attack that killed senior Iranians.
Mr Biden warned that Iran is threatening to launch a "significant attack" after Israel struck the Iranian consulate in Syria 10 days ago.
"We're going to do all we can to protect Israel's security," he added.
Earlier on Wednesday, Iran's leader said the Israeli attack in Damascus was equivalent to an attack on Iran itself.
"When they attacked our consulate area, it was like they attacked our territory," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a televised speech.

Microsoft Windows as a service in the works with new Cloud PC launch
Consumers and businesses alike are well used to buying PCs running Microsoft’s Windows operating system and then either installing their own applications, or using Office 365 or other cloud productivity applications.
However this model may soon change radically following reports that Microsoft is working on a new 'Cloud PC service' that will offer both OS and productivity applications via a subscription fee.
ZDNet has discovered that Microsoft was looking for a program manager for its Cloud PC team. The job description is not too detailed, but it gives a brief understanding of what Microsoft is working on and confirms the company’s long-time intention to make Windows a service
According to Mary Jo Foley, a journalist with good sources with knowledge of Microsoft’s plans, the software giant intends to roll out its Microsoft Cloud PC in Spring 2021.
Windows as a service
The company’s description of its Cloud PC reads as follows:"Microsoft Cloud PC is a strategic, new offering that is built on top of Windows Virtual Desktop to delivering Desktop as a Service. At its core, Cloud PC provides business customers a modern, elastic, cloud-based Windows experience and will allow organizations to stay current in a more simplistic and scalable manner."
The Windows Cloud PC is expected to be a “Microsoft 365-powered experience” that will be managed by Microsoft and sold for a fixed per-user price.
Microsoft already offers Windows Virtual Desktop powered by Azure, but this service is charged in accordance with consumption of Azure. Furthermore, Microsoft also offers its Microsoft Managed Desktop (MMD) subscription that includes Windows 10 Enterprise E3, Office 365 ProPlus, Windows Autopilot, and the company’s management service that includes app deployment, updates, device configuration, security monitoring, and 24/7 end-user support. The MMD is only available for select enterprise customers and requires usage of certain hardware.
Microsoft has not disclosed any official details about its Microsoft Cloud PC initiative. Ideally, a Microsoft Cloud PC would enable businesses to buy extremely cheap thin clients and then rent a virtual PC from Microsoft with all software and applications at a fixed price.
Obviously, such an approach has a number of limitations If a business needs scalable ultra-cheap workplaces that do not need management, the idea may work. Meanwhile, it remains to be seen how one adds professional software and hardware to a remote system that is managed by Microsoft.

Russia has warned Western supplies of weapons to Ukraine risk escalating the war to levels not seen so far.
Andrei Kelin, Russia's ambassador to the UK, told the BBC his country had "enormous resources" and it was yet to "act very seriously".
His remarks come despite more than a year of fighting and widespread evidence of Russian war crimes.
In the interview with Laura Kuenssberg, he suggested he was offended when challenged about Russia's conduct.
Speaking exclusively to the BBC, Mr Kelin warned of a "new dimension" in the war.
Insisting Russia "hasn't just started yet to act very seriously", the ambassador said "Russia is 16 times bigger than Ukraine. We have enormous resources."
The length of the conflict, he said, "depends on the efforts in escalation of war that is being undertaken by Nato countries, especially by the UK".
He added: "Sooner or later, of course, this escalation may get a new dimension which we do not need and we do not want. We can make peace tomorrow."
'We're ready to begin counter-offensive' - Ukraine
Russia attack on hospital 'pure atrocity' - Zelensky
Hundreds of expelled Germans set to leave Russia
The ambassador's comments came as one of Ukraine's most senior security officials, Oleksiy Danilov, told the BBC the country is ready to launch its long expected counter-offensive against Russian forces.
But Mr Kelin's claim that Russia has "enormous resources" available to fight clashes with multiple reports on the ground of its forces being poorly equipped and without proper training.
Those warnings have even come from the head of Russia's Wagner mercenary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, who has been heavily involved in the conflict.
He has been one of Vladimir Putin's staunchest supporters, but has been increasingly vocal and critical of the regime, suggesting in the last few days "we could lose Russia" if the war carried on without extra resources being provided.
Earlier this month he publicly scolded Putin's ministers in a post on social media, surrounded by dead bodies of his fighters. "Where is the... ammunition?", he said. "They came here as volunteers and die for you to fatten yourselves in your mahogany offices."
The denial of the situation on the ground by Mr Kelin was accompanied by his repetition of baseless claims about Russia's invasion, which he still insisted on calling a "special military operation".
Mr Kelin was speaking in his residence, underneath a chandelier, where the chairs are gilt and coffee served by staff with white gloves.
He tried to blame Ukraine for provoking the conflict. It's a familiar and untrue claim that has been used by Russian leaders for more than a year to try to justify its illegal invasion of Ukraine in the first place.

Many of the hot hatches of today are a far cry from their altogether simpler and less complex ancestors, in some cases costing upwards of £50,000 and having technical specs that wouldn't look out of place in touring car racing.
Forget about any notion of emotional appeal for a second, and it's against this current era of the hot hatch where suddenly one powered by electricity doesn't seem quite so daft. Bigger, heavier, more complex and more expensive – hot hatches were going there anyway.
The Abarth 500e is the first of the electric hot hatch breed, a true pioneer in trying to find out whether one of the most loved and revered types of car can cut it in its transition to the electric world.
As its name suggests and Abarth's way of making cars dictates, it is closely related to the Fiat 500. Very closely in fact – the two sharing almost all key running gear including the battery and motor.
The motor, a single front-mounted unit, has had more power and torque liberated from it (it's now rated at 152bhp and 173lb ft, increases of 35bhp and 11lb ft from the Fiat) thanks to some optimisation of internal losses and simply making it work harder.
The battery is the same 42kWh floor-mounted lithium ion unit with some current tweaks, while the single fixed gear ratio has gone from 9.6 to 10.2, for a better balance between acceleration and top speed. The range drops from 199 miles to 164 miles due to these revisions (and more to the styling that goes all-in on sportiness rather than aero-optimisation), though the 85kW maximum charging speed is retained.
These changes, says Stellantis's chief BEV propulsion engineer Maurizio Salvia, are still enough to make the Abarth 500e "quicker everywhere" that matters than the familiar and well-loved Abarth 695, which stays on sale as a petrol hot hatch offering for Abarth, similar to what Fiat has itself done with petrol and electric 500s.
It's quoted as being a second quicker from 12mph to 25mph and again from 25mph to 37mph, that same second faster on a lap around Stellantis's Balocco test track and finally quicker by an unspecified amount in a "traffic light sprint". The 0-62mph time is half a second slower, mind, ultimately unsurprising given the extra 28bhp, 26lb ft and, most crucially, just over 400kg weight surplus over its 1.4-litre turbo-powered range-mate.
There is no radical chassis makeover in the 500e's evolution from Fiat to Abarth, the days of Abarth bits arriving at your dealer in a wooden crate to be fitted sadly over. Instead, the standard MacPherson strut front and torsion beam rear suspension has been given new tuning and the new shock absorbers new rates, while as much dynamic benefit between petrol and electric Abarths will be felt with the 24mm-longer wheelbase, 60mm-wider tracks and an improved front/back weight distribution from 63/37 to 57/43. Bespoke Bridgestone Sport Compound tyres have been developed for the car, too.
The biggest change dynamically, if you can call it that, has been the addition of the Abarth Sound Generator, a big external speaker, multi-channel amplifier and subwoofer mounted under the boot floor where the spare wheel well would be. It sounds like something from the Max Power era and makes the sound of something like that too, its booming exhaust-imitating note being a reproduction of the classic Abarth Record Monza.
Hit the starter button, and the sound from this generator is felt not only in your eardrums but through your backside, too. It's loud, so loud in fact that Abarth says it's on the limits of homologation. It took 6000 hours to develop and 'petrolhead' Abarth fans were consulted during its development.
The brand is "unapologetic" about its inclusion, Abarth's European boss Gaetano Thorel saying it's needed as well to "stir all the emotions". Whatever you think of it, credit to Abarth for not shying away from the fact that electric performance cars sound poor, and that noise is so central to their involvement.
It's the Balocco test track where we drive the 500e first, hot on the heels of some sighter laps in the 695. Waiting to leave the pits, once you're relieved to know that the driving position in the new EV is no longer as comically high as in the petrol car, you can admire the lovely dark Alcantara trim that adorns much of a cabin that's ultimately entirely familiar from the electric Fiat 500 otherwise. The other addition is some contrast stitching to match the strikingly named Acid Green and Poison Blue new paint colours offered.
The new Abarth is not as alive on the track as the 695, nor a car you ever feel as in tune with. Yet unlike most electric cars it doesn't feel out of depth on circuit and it is still able to raise a smile with no drop-off in performance as the temperature of the running gear rises.
The steering is lighter and more relaxed than in the petrol car, yet retains the precision. The front end feels sharper and it turns in more keenly, offering greater resistance to understeer that ultimately still wins out.

A Siberian flying squirrel is captured making use of a disused bird nest to keep warm in the winter
BBC Studios/Kensho Goto
Arctic foxes are turning to cannibalism as they struggle to find food in a warmer world.
That's one of the never-before-captured behaviours in Sir David Attenborough's latest series - Mammals.
It focuses on how these animals are adapting to a world rapidly changed by the most dominant mammal - us.
We also see otters navigate the busy roads of Singapore and lemurs clinging to toothbrush trees in an attempt to keep cool in rising temperatures.
'Mammals' is a challenging series to watch but also shows the incredible ingenuity of the world's most successful animals.

Everton have been dragged closer to a first relegation in 73 years after being deducted two points for breaching Premier League profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) up to 2023. It is the financially troubled club’s second PSR-related points deduction of the season and leaves Sean Dyche’s team two points above the relegation zone with seven matches remaining.
An independent commission imposed the sanction with immediate effect after Everton admitted breaching PSR by £16.6m for the three-year period ending June 2023. The club were docked a record 10 points in November for a £19.5m overspend in the four-year period up to 2022 – two year’s figures were taken on aggregate due to the Covid pandemic – although that was reduced to six points on appeal.

Israel's military said on Sunday that it was reducing its numbers of soldiers from southern Gaza, leaving just one brigade in the area.
The military stressed a "significant force" would remain in Gaza.
"This is another stage in the war effort", Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman Lt Col Peter Lerner told the BBC.
The pull-out is being interpreted as tactical, rather than a sign the war may be moving closer to its end.
Also on Sunday, Israel and Hamas said they had both sent delegations to Cairo to join fresh ceasefire negotiations.

Nico (left) and Inaki WIlliams are the first siblings to play for Athletic Bilbao since 1986
Sign up for notifications to the latest Insight features via the BBC Sport app and read the latest in the series here.
Inaki Williams always knew his brother Nico was special, even if his younger sibling used to get so nervous he would ask Inaki, already a star in Bilbao, not to watch his youth games at the Athletic Club academy.
Inaki is a pioneer.
He helped raise Nico while their parents worked tirelessly to make ends meet, but also paved the way for his brother and other sons of immigrants to represent a club whose policy of only fielding players born or raised in the Basque Country inevitably meant the squad has historically reflected the predominantly white society around it.
Inaki, 29, was not the first player of African heritage to represent the club - that was Jonas Ramalho, son of an Angolan father and Basque mother, in 2011 - but he is the first black player to establish himself at San Mames, having made more than 300 La Liga appearances, including an unprecedented 251 in a row.
Nico, eight years his junior, is, in Inaki's words, now "making waves in football" too, and any nerves the youngster feels these days are channelled into realising childhood dreams of performing on the biggest stage alongside his big brother, mentor and guardian.
"As an older brother, it makes me really proud to see how he has grown, to see how he is improving as a footballer. He has no ceiling," Inaki tells BBC Sport. "I'm here to help him, to teach him and give him everything he needs."
It is a journey that began long ago, and a long way from Bilbao. Their mother, Maria, was pregnant with Inaki when she left Ghana with father Felix in search of a better life.
The couple crossed part of the Sahara barefoot. Inaki only learned the full extent of their story when he was 20. He had known his father had problems with the soles of his feet, but not that scorching sand was the reason why.
Felix and Maria made it to the Spanish territory of Melilla in north Africa, jumping a border fence, but were detained by the civil guard.
A lawyer advised them to lie, to say they were from war-torn Liberia instead and seek political asylum.
He arranged help in Bilbao from Catholic priest Inaki Mardones, who met the couple at Abando railway station when Maria was seven months pregnant, found them an apartment and took them to hospital for Inaki's birth.
Mardones baptised the future star, even gave him his first football shirt, and became his godfather.
He is whom Inaki takes his name from
