Good evening. This is BBC Newsline with Noel Thompson.

:00:14.:00:17.

The headlines this Monday evening - homeless charities say more people

:00:17.:00:20.

than ever are being forced to sleep rough, leaving them vulnerable to

:00:20.:00:29.

unprovoked attacks. You have people coming over and

:00:29.:00:34.

kicking you when you are sleeping. They call you names.

:00:34.:00:38.

It is wet, it is called committed Wendy, yet here tonight many people

:00:38.:00:44.

will be looking for a doorway to sleep in.

:00:44.:00:47.

Also on the programme tonight... We hear from Antrim snooker star

:00:47.:00:57.
:00:57.:00:59.

A no-ball g from easyJet to a blind women who refused to let a board

:00:59.:01:02.

with a guide dog. The army killing of a teenager 40

:01:02.:01:08.

years ago. Papers could be with the prosecution service in a fortnight.

:01:08.:01:12.

We will hear from a disappointed Mark Allen after losing the biggest

:01:12.:01:18.

game of his stricken career. -- his snooker career.

:01:19.:01:22.

And as we have seen, it's a pretty wet evening, and another very windy

:01:22.:01:25.

spell is on the way with snow for some, as well.

:01:25.:01:28.

This wintry chill makes us want to rush home from work or shopping to

:01:28.:01:33.

get into the welcoming warmth for a cup of tea.

:01:33.:01:36.

But what if you had no home to go to, no respite from the weather

:01:36.:01:39.

except a doorway and a damp sleeping bag? Homeless charities

:01:39.:01:42.

say more people than ever are being forced to sleep rough, especially

:01:42.:01:45.

in Belfast. Tonight we have the first of two reports on what it is

:01:45.:01:49.

like to be homeless. Our reporter Will Leitch joins us live from the

:01:49.:01:53.

rain-streaked city centre. Belfast is busy, with two shopping

:01:53.:01:58.

weeks left until Christmas. But night time brings a different story

:01:58.:02:02.

- the growing number of people who have nowhere to stay and have to

:02:02.:02:06.

sleep where they can. I have been meeting one group of ordinary

:02:06.:02:10.

people who don't even live here. They are from Richill in Armagh,

:02:10.:02:18.

but regularly drive up to Belfast to do what they can to help.

:02:18.:02:24.

A busy city centre. Shoppers hurried by a with purses and

:02:24.:02:28.

wallets to NT and banks to fill. What a difference a few others can

:02:28.:02:33.

make. By half-past 10, someone is sleeping rough in the same spot on

:02:33.:02:37.

what of the stormiest night of the winter as though far.

:02:37.:02:43.

Have you enough layers, there is another jumper here? Do you want

:02:43.:02:51.

another jumper? This man has been unable to get a space in the any

:02:51.:02:58.

hostel. He is cold, and with arthritis weakening his legs he

:02:58.:03:06.

cannot move to a more sheltered spot. He is being helped from a

:03:06.:03:11.

Christian group from County Armagh. They cannot do much except of a

:03:11.:03:16.

food and clothing and just stay for a while. A one of the men in our

:03:16.:03:20.

team met a man for a night, a homeless guy, and he spoke to him

:03:20.:03:24.

and he said at said -- it was the first conversation he had had in

:03:24.:03:33.

weeks. He said that a smile is worth �1 million. Across the city,

:03:33.:03:38.

Gary is checking his possessions before searching for a hostel bed.

:03:38.:03:41.

But I haven't got a clue yet, to be honest.

:03:41.:03:47.

If I get in, I get income if I don't. 21 years, on and off,

:03:47.:03:52.

walking these streets. It doesn't bother me, it is a bit cold tonight,

:03:52.:04:01.

though. He goes to find a bed. All the signs pointing towards these

:04:01.:04:07.

days be much harder than it used to be. Stephen's bed might be a mile

:04:07.:04:12.

away, but he can't be sure. I don't know until I go to the

:04:12.:04:18.

place, and hopefully I will have a roof over my head, a cup of tea or

:04:18.:04:21.

coffee or something like that. What if it falls through?

:04:21.:04:26.

I will have to lie on the street wrath somewhere. You have people

:04:26.:04:31.

coming over kicking you when you are sleeping, calling unions. It is

:04:31.:04:38.

not on, because I could beat anybody. It could be them.

:04:38.:04:42.

Unfortunately it is not them, it is me, it is myself.

:04:42.:04:48.

He set off hoping it is worth his while. Every night in Belfast,

:04:48.:04:52.

these men are far from the only ones. Sleeping rough in this kind

:04:53.:04:55.

of weather. Tomorrow on BBC Newsline we look at

:04:55.:04:59.

fears that a change in the law in the New Year could mean more young

:04:59.:05:06.

Easyjet has apologised for any inconvenience caused to a blind

:05:06.:05:10.

woman who wasn't allowed onto a flight with her guide dog. The

:05:10.:05:13.

airline said Joanna Jones didn't have the proper documents to prove

:05:13.:05:16.

the animal was trained for flying in the cabin of a plane. Mervyn

:05:16.:05:26.
:05:26.:05:27.

Flying home for Christmas, and a lead indicator of one passenger on

:05:27.:05:33.

morning. Joanna Jones, who lives in Lisburn, was stopped from boarding

:05:33.:05:38.

a flight to Belfast last night in London, because she had no

:05:38.:05:41.

documentation to show her dog was a guide dog. This letter frustrated

:05:41.:05:44.

and angry. The guide dog Association could

:05:44.:05:49.

provide you with a certificate or any documentation when you qualify

:05:49.:05:54.

but the dock, and I was not also told when I boot the assistance of

:05:54.:05:58.

the week before last and told them I was travelling with a guide dog,

:05:58.:06:03.

they never mentioned this paperwork then.

:06:03.:06:09.

She is wearing her harness and has attack on, that -- I thought that

:06:09.:06:13.

would be good enough. When you were told that was not,

:06:13.:06:16.

what does that -- was your response?

:06:16.:06:20.

Why have I been allowed to fly with them for the last 12 years?

:06:20.:06:24.

EasyJet says it welcomes and carries hundreds of passengers with

:06:24.:06:29.

guide dogs in the last year. -- in the last year.

:06:29.:06:39.

However, on its website, a statement says...

:06:39.:06:43.

EasyJet has apologised to her for the inconvenience caused. The issue

:06:43.:06:46.

got up a head of steam after it appeared on social media sites last

:06:46.:06:53.

night. If it was not already on the airline's radar, it is now.

:06:53.:06:56.

And you have been joining in the debate today on that story on our

:06:56.:06:59.

Facebook page. Most people are expressing sympathy with Joanna

:07:00.:07:09.
:07:10.:07:19.

It is looking very likely that we'll soon be back paying for

:07:19.:07:25.

prescriptions. The Health Minister Edwin Poots has been hinting at it

:07:25.:07:28.

since he came to office in May, but in an Assembly debate this

:07:28.:07:31.

afternoon Mr Poots said he would put the issue out to consultation

:07:31.:07:36.

sometime in the New Year. We will move forward Ben de la Parc

:07:36.:07:42.

of the new year with the consultation on introducing some

:07:42.:07:49.

form of subscription charge -- prescription charge to provide the

:07:49.:07:53.

appropriate care for people with life-threatening illnesses.

:07:53.:07:56.

Tributes have been paid to the County Armagh GAA player who was

:07:56.:07:59.

murdered at the weekend. James Hughes was in a taxi in Dundalk in

:07:59.:08:02.

the early hours of Sunday morning when shots were fired into it. Two

:08:02.:08:05.

other people in the car were other people in the car were

:08:05.:08:09.

wounded. A 32-year-old man later wounded. A 32-year-old man later

:08:09.:08:13.

handed himself into the gardai. Julie McCullough reports.

:08:13.:08:18.

James Hughes was a familiar figure in his home town of Crossmaglen. It

:08:18.:08:22.

was where he had played for the local Gaelic senior football team.

:08:22.:08:28.

The 35-year-old was killed outside a house in an estate in Dundalk

:08:28.:08:32.

just after four o'clock yesterday morning. He was in a taxi when a

:08:32.:08:38.

man approached the car and fired a number of shocks. There is a strong

:08:38.:08:43.

sense of shock and disbelief in the tragic killing of James Hughes, a

:08:43.:08:46.

very well-known young man in their area, very well liked and his

:08:46.:08:51.

family is very popular. This is a huge tragedy for them and my

:08:51.:08:54.

sympathy goes out to them, and people are struggling to come to

:08:54.:09:00.

terms with any rationale for a senseless killing.

:09:00.:09:04.

Two other people were in the car when James used was killed, 21-

:09:04.:09:08.

year-old woman and a 40-year-old man who was driving the taxi were

:09:08.:09:13.

both injured but not seriously. A 32-year-old man has been arrested

:09:13.:09:19.

after handing himself into a Gardai station. Irish police say they are

:09:19.:09:21.

investigated a motive for the attack.

:09:21.:09:24.

The police have confirmed that a suspicious object which caused a

:09:24.:09:27.

security alert in county Armagh Keady was a bomb. It had been left

:09:27.:09:31.

near to Keady PSNI station. A number of homes nearby were

:09:31.:09:33.

evacuated last night after a telephone warning. The army made

:09:34.:09:37.

the device safe. BBC Newsline has learned that a

:09:37.:09:40.

file on the controversial killing of a Londonderry teenager could be

:09:40.:09:42.

handed over to the Public Prosecution Service within a

:09:42.:09:44.

fortnight. On Friday an inquest found that 15-year-old Daniel

:09:44.:09:47.

Hegarty was innocent when he was shot dead by a soldier during

:09:47.:09:52.

Operation Motorman in 1972. As Kevin Sharkey reports, the victim's

:09:52.:10:00.

family say the soldier should be brought before a court.

:10:00.:10:06.

The quest for justice has taken a long time. Four decades. It was

:10:06.:10:10.

delivered by an inquest jury in just four hours. This brought

:10:10.:10:16.

relief to Daniel Hegarty's family, their brother's good name restored

:10:16.:10:22.

and a long campaign vindicated. He was cleared of all wrongdoing.

:10:22.:10:27.

We did not do it out of revenge or hatred, we just wanted justice. We

:10:27.:10:33.

wanted somebody held to account. We went down to the grave yesterday,

:10:33.:10:42.

and now he can rest in peace. I will always miss Daniel.

:10:42.:10:47.

One chapter of this case is closed now, but it raises another question

:10:47.:10:50.

about the soldier who killed Daniel Hegarty.

:10:50.:10:54.

The they are referring to someone as soldier become a letter of the

:10:54.:10:59.

alphabet, and that this individual has killed a 15-year-old child. It

:10:59.:11:03.

is distressing for the family, but I think the family had always

:11:03.:11:09.

believed at some stage they would stand before a criminal court.

:11:09.:11:14.

For the family, law and order dictates nothing less.

:11:14.:11:18.

I respect the law, treat everyone with the same equal rights and

:11:18.:11:23.

bring this mantra the court. Despite bringing this man to the

:11:23.:11:32.

court. What has remained here ever since - the steam on Daniel

:11:32.:11:36.

Hegarty's good name. What happens now to the soldier who killed him?

:11:36.:11:40.

The coroner has told BBC Newsline today he will make a decision

:11:40.:11:50.
:11:50.:11:53.

You are watching BBC News line. Still to come on the programme...

:11:53.:11:56.

The Prime Minister has told the House of Commons that he acted in

:11:56.:11:59.

the UK's best interests last week in Brussels by vetoing attempts to

:11:59.:12:04.

change the fundamental treaties of the European Union. Has he has he

:12:04.:12:08.

done the best for Northern Ireland? And an Aladdin's cave of Irish

:12:08.:12:18.
:12:18.:12:22.

treasure north and south is put up for sale in Dublin.

:12:22.:12:27.

Last week. Without Without the safeguards for the Uk's financial

:12:27.:12:30.

services industry he wanted, David Cameron said it was better to allow

:12:30.:12:33.

the other countries to close a separate deal for the Eurozone. So,

:12:33.:12:35.

are the implications for Northern Ireland clearer after today's

:12:35.:12:37.

Common's statement? Our Business and Economics Editor Jim

:12:37.:12:42.

Fitzpatrick has been keeping a close eye on developments.

:12:43.:12:47.

Particular interest for Northern Ireland in this debate. Yes, there

:12:47.:12:52.

is. There was bad weather forecast, but within Europe there is a storm

:12:52.:12:57.

forecast. Unfortunately, we could be within the eye of that storm.

:12:57.:13:01.

We're the only part of the UK with a land border with the eurozone,

:13:01.:13:05.

the Republic. We are so involved in the economy, in terms of things

:13:05.:13:11.

like exports but even things like property. There are public property

:13:11.:13:15.

agency controls our property market. The Republic has a �5 billion loan

:13:15.:13:23.

from the UK, so we are entirely interwoven in the Northern Ireland

:13:23.:13:26.

economy with the Republic. Scotland has complained no

:13:26.:13:30.

attention was given to them in this refusal to go along with the rest

:13:30.:13:35.

of the eurozone. Does that apply to Northern Ireland, as well? Was

:13:35.:13:38.

there any attention given to our needs?

:13:38.:13:41.

The Prime Minister says he looks out for the interests of the UK as

:13:41.:13:46.

a whole, and he was supported today by the DUP's Nigel Dodds in the

:13:46.:13:50.

House of Commons. The Prime Minister made the point that UK

:13:50.:13:53.

financial services are such a big industry, they account for 10% of

:13:53.:14:00.

taxes. Northern Ireland get a �9 billion paid -- bail out in the

:14:00.:14:07.

year, and no one asks us to pay that back. Whether these laws are

:14:07.:14:12.

protected or not, is a moot point. If you are trying to export to the

:14:12.:14:15.

Republic, you would be more concerned.

:14:15.:14:19.

The Prime Minister has insisted he is not going soft on the banks and

:14:19.:14:23.

there will be more explanation about what happened to RBS and the

:14:23.:14:29.

subsidiary, the Ulster Bank. Yes, a lot of these problems in Europe and

:14:29.:14:33.

in the UK started in the banking system. Those were certainly a

:14:33.:14:39.

major factor in Ireland's problems. Ulster Bank, UK owned, and now

:14:39.:14:44.

taxpayer owned, was a problem child for RBS in the island. It accounted

:14:44.:14:49.

for a disproportionate amount of its bad loans. You can see why

:14:49.:14:53.

financial-services at a big part of the UK economy and why Europe wants

:14:53.:14:56.

to control them slightly differently. That debate is still

:14:56.:15:05.

Bus drivers were all too often victims of attack in the Troubles.

:15:05.:15:08.

More than 20 lost their lives, countless others were caught up in

:15:08.:15:11.

hijackings and burnings as they kept buses running in those

:15:11.:15:14.

dangerous decades. Tonight they will be honoured for their services.

:15:14.:15:20.

BBC Newsline's Julian O'Neill reports.

:15:20.:15:24.

Belfast in the mid- 1970s was a dangerous time and bus drivers will

:15:24.:15:30.

often easy targets. In the worst cases, it lives were lost keeping

:15:30.:15:37.

services running. Some will rush died on the job in 1970 free, hit

:15:37.:15:42.

by a stray loyalist bullet aimed at a security checkpoint. It was a

:15:42.:15:47.

kind of bravery just to go out in those days and try to pass. I think

:15:47.:15:52.

are many just realising that today when you asked me was he in danger.

:15:52.:15:57.

Now I realise that was the kind of courage. A sense of duty came from

:15:57.:16:07.
:16:07.:16:09.

the top down. This is the German boss bowls from the time. He

:16:09.:16:15.

probably carried away as suspect parcel bomb. But do you think will

:16:15.:16:18.

be tempted to come and carry suspect packages of the buses of

:16:18.:16:25.

the need arises in the future? told the Chief Constable at

:16:25.:16:28.

midnight, there is an thing happening one minute after midnight,

:16:28.:16:34.

it is someone else's problem. often ended up as burning

:16:35.:16:40.

barricades. Decades later, drivers of finally being honoured at a

:16:40.:16:44.

civic reception in Belfast tonight. They risk their lives doing nothing

:16:44.:16:48.

more than their job but they did it with a dedication and commitment

:16:48.:16:51.

because what they were risking their lives for was to bring a

:16:51.:16:55.

sense of normality to Belfast at the time and it definitely was not

:16:55.:17:01.

normal. Today's buses operate in better times but recognition for

:17:01.:17:06.

pass service has been a long time coming. The head of the grammar

:17:06.:17:09.

schools group which uses the GL Assessment transfer test says he

:17:09.:17:12.

regrets the breach of security and copyright which allowed some

:17:12.:17:15.

children to view past papers. But as our education correspondent

:17:15.:17:23.

Maggie Taggart reports, a more serious claim has not been proved.

:17:23.:17:28.

The papers in question were the 2009 English and maths transfer

:17:29.:17:32.

tests. The Catholic Principals Association raised the alarm when a

:17:32.:17:36.

parent reported having obtained a copy from a grammar school,

:17:36.:17:39.

completely against the rules of the commercial company that provides

:17:39.:17:44.

the test. The investigation could not find evidence that the test had

:17:44.:17:47.

been seen before people sat it but it did find that copies had been

:17:48.:17:53.

made and circulated among some pupils practising for the exam the

:17:53.:17:56.

following year. What we have found is that there was a breach of

:17:56.:18:00.

security, but the papers were not returned warfare to copied and

:18:00.:18:05.

handed out as a practice paper. We cannot establish if there was an

:18:05.:18:09.

unfair advantage to any child because the source of the leak was

:18:09.:18:16.

not identified. The minister says he is still open to hearing more

:18:16.:18:19.

evidence of further security breaches.

:18:19.:18:23.

Now it was a close thing for Mark Allen as he fought for his first

:18:23.:18:28.

big title. But it was not to be. Antrim's Mark Allen lost narrowly

:18:28.:18:32.

to Judd Trump of England at the UK Snooker Championships. During the

:18:32.:18:34.

tournament, Allen criticised World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn about

:18:34.:18:38.

changing the format of the competition. But he says he would

:18:38.:18:42.

like to meet to settle their differences. Thomas Kane reports on

:18:42.:18:50.

what was a thrilling final. He may have looked relaxed but this

:18:50.:18:55.

was the biggest game that Mark Allen had ever played in. He

:18:55.:19:04.

trailed by as many as FF5 during the first to 10 contest. But

:19:04.:19:14.
:19:14.:19:17.

produced three breaks over 130, to battle back. Then came the turning

:19:17.:19:27.
:19:27.:19:28.

point. A long road from Mark Allen missed by the smallest of margins

:19:28.:19:32.

and it turned out be his last shot of the final and of the tournament,

:19:32.:19:42.
:19:42.:19:43.

has Judd Trump won the biggest prize of his career. I'm obviously

:19:43.:19:48.

disappointed to lose, you come here to try and win the event. But

:19:48.:19:52.

sometimes you just have to say that your opponent was the better player.

:19:52.:19:57.

He might not have let your with the title but his performance boosted

:19:57.:20:06.

his ranking to 10th in the world and its bank balance by �46,000.

:20:06.:20:08.

Rory McIlroy has withdrawn from this week's Thailand Golf

:20:08.:20:12.

Championship as he recovers from a virus. He won't play again until

:20:12.:20:16.

the New Year. McIlroy couldn't quite finish the season as the

:20:16.:20:19.

number one player in Europe yesterday. Despite rolling in a few

:20:19.:20:24.

birdie putts, his challenge faded at the Dubai World Championship.

:20:24.:20:28.

McIlroy ended the year as runner up in the Race to Dubai to Luke Donald,

:20:28.:20:35.

with prize money of over �2.7 million.

:20:35.:20:37.

Belfast swimmer Melanie Nocker clinched her first major

:20:37.:20:41.

championship medal yesterday. She took bronze in the 200 metres

:20:42.:20:44.

backstroke final at the European Short Course Championships in

:20:44.:20:50.

Poland. Nocker had set an Irish record in the qualifying heats, and

:20:50.:20:55.

went even faster in the final. Her medal is a major boost to her

:20:55.:20:58.

confidence ahead of her attempts to ensure qualification for next

:20:58.:21:02.

summer's London Olympics. Glentoran's Gary Hamilton is set to

:21:02.:21:07.

be named as the surprise new player manager of Glenavon Football Cclub.

:21:07.:21:11.

It's expected terms will be agreed between the clubs this week.

:21:11.:21:14.

Hamilton was a disappointed man at the weekend as Glentoran lost to
