Welcome to BBC Newsline. Here are the stories making tonight's

headlines... We witness the arrest of four

people at a suspected sham marriage in Dungannon.

The brother of a man murdered by vigilantes is forced out of

Londonderry by a death threat. I am disgusted and heartbroken. How

am I supposed to tell the kids? Can do better - schools told to

pull up their socks in an inspector's report.

More join the dole queue - but a ground-breaking scheme to help

young people into work. This job took me some time to get

started, but I have been here almost six months and I am happy as

Larry. I am live at the club where it all

began for Niall McGinn. Still some further outbreaks of

rain to come along with gusty winds. Will it improve by tomorrow? Find

out shortly. Four people have been arrested at a

suspected sham marriage in Dungannon. BBC Newsline was there

when the police swooped on the ceremony as it was about to take

place in the town's council offices this afternoon. Our district

journalist reports. The registrar at Dungannon council

offices waits for her next couple. But there was to be no marriage

today. Just moments before the couple were due to meet in this

office, officers from the UK Border Agency stepped in, Sebri did a

couple and began to question them to decide whether or not this

marriage was real. Their answers did not satisfy the officers. This

28-year-old Pakistani man had been due to marry this 48-year-old

Polish woman. Both are under arrest. The groom has been arrested and

will be taken away by police. The woman that was to be his wife is

still being questioned, a process that is being held up by her

apparently fainting. We are convinced this was a suspicious

marriage which may have led to the sham marriage. The this woman, also

Polish, had been due to act as bridesmaid. Minutes before the

ceremony, the groom find himself short of a witness. This man

stepped in and is now also under arrest. What would the benefits

speak to a sham marriage? It is typically someone from outside EA

trying to a married -- marry someone who is resident, to get a

visa to remain in the UK. This helps them to stay here for as long

as they like when in fact, perhaps their Beazer is running out or are

they need to leave the country for another reason. -- a visa. This is

to try and circumvent the immigration rules. It is

immigration crime and something we are determined to stamp out.

lived here for some time. The pair, if found guilty, faced jail or

deportation. The brother of a Londonderry man

who was murdered by Republican vigilantes has been forced out of

the city by a death threat. Daniel Allen and another man were told to

leave Derry or be shot. His brother Andrew was murdered by a group

Republican Action Against Drugs in County Donegal last February.

have been warned by police of a death threat. The family believe it

is because they stood up to a Republican vigilantes. He was shot

Against Drugs in County Donegal. His mother says he has done nothing

wrong. The this is horrendous. We are devastated. To get the same

thing again, a repeat of a death threat, after what they actually

did, but is awful. The partner of Daniel Allen says there is no

justification for the threat and she believes the Republican

vigilantes are nothing more than police. I am disgusted. I am gutted,

there is no other word. I am devastated. What sort of an effect

has this hard on you and your family? Everybody is falling apart.

They won't leave us alone. Just let us grieve for Andra, leave Dan

Miller alone and let him get on with his life. -- let us grief for

Andrew, leave Lino alone. There have been tensions in the community.

his family has suffered a lot. For another member of the family to be

under threat, it is about double what they are going through. For

the community as well, a lot of work has been going on in the

community to help lower tensions. The family said it will not be

intimidated and have vowed to continue to speak out until they

say they achieve justice for Andrew. Police teams are searching an area

of farmland near Comber in County Down in connection with the

disappearance of 25-year-old Lisa Dorrian. She went missing in

February 2005 after a party at a caravan park in Ballyhalbert, about

16 miles away on the Ards Peninsula. Officers are using specialist

equipment to survey an area of ground which they have cordoned off

on the edge of Comber. It is understood they may be looking for

a vehicle that could have been used in the murder. Police say at this

stage they are not looking for the woman's body.

A disqualified driver who killed a 12-year-old boy when he fell off

the back of his scrambler motorbike has been jailed for eight years.

Andrew Paul Morrow from Belfast drove on after his pillion

passenger, Daniel Mooney, fell under a parked vehicle. He wasn't

wearing a helmet and died from head injuries. The judge said the 33-

year-old from Vara Drive was a dangerous offender who poses a

significant risk to the public. Coming up...

The latest in our series on hate crime. The man who says police must

do more to protect people like him from abuse. It makes me feel that I

am totally trapped. Schools are constantly being told

they have to improve their performances and many have

extremely good exam results. But the latest report from the Chief

Inspector of Schools is not all rosy. Of particular concern is the

poor exam results among pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Skills are keen to display their talents, but behind the success is,

there are feelings. The good news is that so exam success has

improved. The bad news is it has not improved enough. The target is

five or more good GCSEs including English and maths. Less than 60%

achieve that. Less well-off pupils do much worse, with just over 30%

managing to hit the target. That is not surprising when 20% of pupils

leave primary-school has without reaching targets in English and

maths. 22% are below standard. It is much worse in post-primary, were

39% of leaderships do not make the grade. Principles, their senior

teachers and board of governors are said to be feeling, but the

association representing 900 principles doubts the figures.

There is nothing in a report that would enable schools to celebrate

and it will have a negative impact in terms of morale. We are

concerned about the figures and we will be asking a Chief Inspector

for the evidence base from which to produce the figures. The chief

inspector says the information is not in question. The evidence is

first-hand evidence collected on inspection and fed back to the

skills and provided to those reinspect. We have the evidence to

back it up. They want to point out the problems in exam achievement

and the management of schools. The leadership of schools does need to

be improved and perhaps one radical tactic would be to reduce job

security of screw principles. should increase the salary of Head

Teachers and give them a fixed-term contract, say five years. They

should know that they need to keep stretching their performance and

keep on top of it. We should not have the complacency and other

aspects of protectionism. That is not only his -- his only radical

proposal. He said schools should be inspected without warning.

It is the usual grim news on the jobs front - more people joining

the dole queue. The new figures out today show 200 more people are out

of work here. It means more than 8% of the population is jobless.

That's a total of 63,400. A big chunk of those are young people.

More than a 5th of those between 18 and 24 are now unemployed. That is

a rise of 3% over the last year. Natasha Sayee has been finding out

that it is young people who have left care who are really struggling

to get on the employment ladder. Mark his 21. He gets up at 5

o'clock in the morning to cycle five miles to the job he enjoys. He

spent much of his childhood in care and light thousands of other young

people with the same background, he found it difficult to get work.

out there it is difficult to get a job anywhere. I feel that other

people are looking down on you because of what your background is,

whether they know it or not. It just feels a bit worse. To years

ago he became involved in a programme which helps young people

who have left care to find jobs. He has been working for the Belfast

Health Trust for the past six months. Your day goes by quicker

and it gives you something to do, and you won't be getting into

trouble. You won't be doing the study used to be doing. You feel

settled and do have a pay cheque. These young breed of have severe

difficulties when it comes to its training education and training and

an armoured opportunities. As a result, the Government looked at

health trusts and said they should address the problem. The service

looks at young people's needs and tries to match them with employers

and opportunities that come up. Belfast Trust Trust has ring-fenced

and number of posts in all sorts of areas for young people who have

left care. We put our young people through a recruitment process and

they are interviewed in the same way as anyone applying for those

posts. A certain percentage of those posts are ring-fenced for

hard to reach groups, those furthest from the labour market,

that really need the additional help and support to gain posts

within the trust. The project hopes that private sector employer it

will also consider ring-fencing posts for young people who have

left care. That means, like Mark, they can avoid becoming an

unemployment statistic. The Supreme Court in Dublin has

dismissed an appeal by Fermanagh businessman Sean Quinn Junior

against his conviction and imprisonment for contempt of court.

But the judges ruled that he should not have been jailed indefinitely.

Mr Quinn has already served three months. Still to come...

Many of these kids dream of playing professional football. Their hero

is now Maginn and he started his career at their club. -- Niall

McGinn. To the final part of our series

looking at hate crime. Tonight, we hear from a disabled man who says

the police need to do more to protect people like him who are

living in fear of abuse are attack because they are seen as being

different from society. This week, we have been looking at our hate

crime legislation, which was brought in in 2004 and asking, is

it working? Giving so few cases result in a hate crime legislation

-- conviction. Michael Bailey, who was injured in the Troubles,

certainly doesn't think so. He has seen life from two perspectives -

as able-bodied and as disabled - and feels he has become a victim of

hate crime. 21st July, 1972, bloody Friday, one

of the blackest days of the Troubles. IRA bombs exploded across

Belfast, killing nine and injuring 130. Michael Bailey was one of the

injured. Although he recovered, got married and had three children, he

says the effects of the bomb have taken their toll. Seven years ago

he was diagnosed with a muscle- wasting illness, which has left him

in a wheelchair. That is when the trouble started. The tontine,

spitting in the street, his bins and shed were set on fire, his

mobility scooter destroyed. He says he is too scared to leave home at

night. It makes me feel I am totally trapped. I feel unsafe. I

feel like I have nowhere to go to feel safe. Apart from the daily

abuse, Michael has also been confronted in the street in broad

daylight. They were calling me names and pushing me, and digging

me in, I had �10 and I gave it to them. They went through my sports

bag and took whatever they wanted. I held on to my nature. I said, you

have mothers, you have grandmothers, why are you doing this? I pressed

my panic button and they dispersed. Michael has reported many of the

incidents to the police but he wonders if they realise her fright

and he is. IPhone 999. -- I called 999. He said that it was just for

emergencies. He gave me the impression as if it was not an

emergency for me. In Leicestershire in 2007, Fiona Pilkington told

herself and her disabled daughter after years of torment by youths.

She had contacted the police many times over many years. Michael was

devastated by her case and fees lessons must be learned to avoid

such a tragedy again. And they keep saying about different parts of the

roads, a child is knocked down, it is only until somebody is killed

that something happens. After we carried out that interview,

the Housing Executive and the police have assured Michael they

will be dealing with his case and have promised extra security until

he can be rehoused. According to a recent report, there have only been

a handful of hate crime prosecutions here. The police say

it is down to their difficulty in proving a crime was motivated by

hate. Is this the right message to be sending to victims? I put that

question to Chief Superintendent Mark Hamilton.

Clearly, the needs of victims are at the heart of what we want to do,

but we are investigating the crimes. Edie 5% of hate crimes reported get

prosecuted, that is a fact. -- 85%. Many paid a have a crime

investigated. I accept there is disappointment. Clearly there is

more I have to do with my colleagues to provide extra

evidence to satisfy the PPS that my cases can go through court with a

good chance of success. A When you look at the case of Michael Bailey,

who fees he has been targeted again and again because he is disabled,

he has been told by the PSNI he should not bring 999 any more.

he is the victim of an emergency he has to ring 999. If you live is at

risk or you are in danger or distress, you need police quickly,

you must ring 999. The PSNI used to have designated hate crime officers

but they have been withdrawn. What message does that send? Many groups

have expressed their concern and disappointment. We do not -- what

we have and are appointing his to hate crime officers per district,

he will do it as part of their other work. All neighbour heard

surgeons across all areas, 50 or 60 sergeants, will be trained as hate

crime officers. We are very keen to try and replace any damages that

have been done. We have been contacted by the Be

Safe, Stay Safe project, which supports disabled adults and their

families across Northern Ireland to feel safer in their homes and their

communities. Their web address is besafestaysafe.org.

They came oh so close to a massive upset. Still, Northern Ireland's

footballers produced an outstanding performance last night to draw with

one of the best teams in the world, Portugal. The Northern Ireland

World Cup goalscoring hero is from County Tyrone. Gavin Andrews is

live tonight at Niall McGinn's old club.

Is there a bit of a bus down there? Yes, welcome to the Home Of

Dungannon United youth. The kids are practising. This facility did

not exist when at Niall McGinn started at the age of seven. Before

we hear from his old coach, we will their back on the night when he

upstaged one of the world's best, Cristiano Ronaldo.

He left his hotel perched on the precipice of sporting immortality.

A few are as later, Ronaldo and Portugal were plummeting without a

parachute. Jonny Evans found Kyle Lafferty and then, this... I cannot

believe this course. It is a dream come true. I am over the moon, I am

delighted to get on the scoresheet. Deduce what you Jersey? I want to

keep it because it was my first international goal. Cristiano

Ronaldo's shirt went to Oliver nor would. It was a good game. It will

be framed as soon as we are home and I will put it on that wall.

When you wash it? Yes. It emerged that Roy Carroll had a laser beam

shone in his eyes intermittently throughout the 90 minutes.

official picked up on it. It happened in the first the minutes

of Monday night. It is something that it is difficult for the

Portuguese to controlled, with 50,000 capacity. Disappointing but

it did not have any repercussions for the game. Match officials have

confirmed the matter has been reported to FIFA.

They will be talking about this for a long time in Dungannon. With me,

Dixie Robinson. What are your memories of Niall McGinn? He was

not much higher than a grasshopper. At he has not grown much! Know, he

hasn't. From the moment we saw him we knew he had talent. He has gone

on to prove himself as an international footballer. He did us

all proud. What was the reaction from the boys here? They were

saying today, everybody is talking about the goal and Ronaldo. It is

the stuff dreams are made of. It gives the club agreed left and the

coaches and players were very glad. A sensational result for Northern

Ireland. It was fantastic. All credit to Michael O'Neill, but

where he said that he was superb. On the counter-attack earth. They

were fantastic. They worked hard. They fully deserved the point to. -

- the point. The Portuguese community are not very happy. We

try to catch up with some of them. Ronaldo did not have a good night.

I do not understand, he is a good player. I think he needs to play

for other teams. I do not know why it happened. He is very good, all

of Portuguese players are good. Some did not have sense. Portuguese

are number one in Europe, there are good players. They were not happy.

What has the Banda been like in time? We have some Portuguese kids

playing. They are a great bunch of boys. They have brought something

new to us. Unfortunately today they have been taking a bit of stick.

Yesterday they were saying they were going to win. What does it

mean for these young players to say what can happen for Northern

Ireland? It shows them what can be achieved. We have plenty of talent

and good kids and hopefully they can go on to better things.

Pressure is off for Michael O'Neill, a great result last night. Still a

question over the future of Giovanni Trapattoni. Despite its 41

-- 4-1 win over the Faeroe Islands. The players were feeling the

pressure, so too was the manager. When Keith Andrews missed a

glorious opportunity in the first half... The pressure was beginning

to show. Giovanni Trapattoni and the Republic of Ireland needed

something special. And founded in the form of a County Antrim man.

The Republic of Ireland, Constable winners against the Faeroe Islands.

-- comfortable winners. The pressure is on everyone. The

boss has been brilliant and Barnet continue. The future of Republic of

Ireland's manager remains uncertain, but Trapattoni remains certain he

will continue as boss. I know there is speculation. I do not think

about it. I am preparing a team to win at the next game. No problem.

The Republic enter the next game against Sweden in March. It remains

to be seen whether Giovanni Trapattoni will be there as well.

That is it from Dungannon. Forget the Ronaldo step over, everyone is

practising to be like my home again. Should we be battening down the

hatches? I think so. Especially along the

east coast. The clocks will go back in 10 days, so it or get Barbara

warnings in place across County Antrim and county down. Some

localised flooding, particularly during the early hours of Thursday

morning. Tonight, not actually as it has been recently. Some places

staying in double figures tonight. The rain will stay place -- stay

with us over night. Many places getting off to a grey and damp

morning, some rain around. Some heavy bursts across the West.

During May Day, drier weather will begin to come out. Very little in

the way of sunshine. The wind staying a little strong across the

east coast. Still feeling cooler when you factor in some of the

showers. By the end of the day, more sunshine. A better end to the

day tomorrow. There will be the odd outbreak of rain coming in, because

of the low pressure sitting over us into tomorrow night. Crueller

feeling tomorrow, but not by much. -- crew are feeling. Largely dry

for Friday. It looks like we will see brighter weather and good

spells of sunshine. It will not be completely dry but the emphasis is

on drier weather. It will feel a bit fresher out and about. Not a

bad weekend to come. It will be rather cloudy at times but we are

looking at drier weather, apart from the odd shower. They will be

very isolated. Temperatures will stay at around 12 degrees. It will
