the BBC's BOSS in Northern Ireland, whose job primarily is to oversee

is in charge of 650 staff and a senior Executive on the

broadcasters -- broadcaster's national management board. It was

:02:13.:02:17.

in this capacity that he became involved in the Newsnight story

:02:17.:02:21.

prior to its broadcast. What at his involvement was exactly is not

:02:21.:02:27.

known. On the sex abuse story, he was not the top of the chain of

command, that much is clear. Interview requests have been

:02:47.:02:52.

There has been weeks and weeks of failure to get our grip. If you do

:02:52.:02:56.

not get hold of things, in this sort of situation they tend to get

worse. It is going to take them a wild to clamp down, as it were, and

sure about is that we do not lose sight of the fact that BBC

journalism is by and large very robust. It is not perfect, but it

is not -- does not need a complete a people. An internal report on the

The family of a man killed by an off-duty police officer during a

robbery today watched a video of the incident at his inquest. He had

cameras inside caught the moment he was shot by an off-duty police man

who happened on the robbery. The images were played today at the

:04:39.:04:42.

inquest. They showed him moving towards the officer at the door, a

knife by his side. A succession of witnesses Aba garage gave evidence.

They each said they have heard her clear, precise warning from the

:04:52.:04:56.

off-duty officer to stop or risk being shot. Only a couple of

:04:56.:05:04.

seconds elapsed, they said, before a single shot rang out. Several

:05:04.:05:08.

members of the family stayed in court to watch the CCTV images.

:05:08.:05:11.

They showed the man had not physically threatened staff or

:05:11.:05:18.

customers. He had �215 in cash in his hand as he left. An

:05:18.:05:21.

investigator with the Police Ombudsman said a fire had been

:05:21.:05:24.

prepared for the Public Prosecution Service and it had decided the

:05:24.:05:28.

officers should not face charges. He was asked whether the police man

:05:28.:05:32.

could have shot him in such a way as to disable him. Mr Smith said

:05:32.:05:39.

officers were not trained that way, it wasn't misconception. -- it was

:05:39.:05:42.

a misconception. He said using a firearm was a matter of a last

:05:42.:05:47.

resort. The inquest heard that the officer, who is listed only as

:05:47.:05:56.

Constable a, had offered to reassure him and tried first aid.

:07:45.:07:47.

companionship. I can't imagine life without him. I can't. He was a

great storm. If we knew he had been sick, or whatever, you could accept

I know what was. 37 years of rage, never, ever give us a bit of bother.

:09:15.:09:18.

A Hong Kong bus company has ordered 50 new double-decker buses from the

:09:18.:09:23.

County Antrim firm, Wrightbus. The Kowloon Motor Bus Company agreed

:09:23.:09:28.

the deal with a view to ordering more vehicles from the Ballymena

:09:28.:09:31.

manufacturer in the near future. News of the order emerged as the

:09:31.:09:35.

First and Deputy First Minister has left to lead a trade mission to

:09:35.:09:41.

Shanghai and Hong Kong. An early start for the First and

:09:41.:09:46.

Deputy First Ministers as they head off on their six-day visit. The

:09:46.:09:51.

politicians are accompanying around 35 local companies and university

:09:51.:09:55.

representatives seeking to expand trade and cultural ties with China.

:09:55.:09:59.

China is probably one of the fastest growing economies in the

:09:59.:10:04.

world. We are talking about a population of 1.4 billion people.

:10:04.:10:07.

No small economy like ours can afford to miss out on the

:10:07.:10:12.

opportunities that exist there. Here at Wrightbus, no one is in any

:10:12.:10:16.

doubt about the importance of the Chinese market. A Hong Kong firm

:10:16.:10:22.

has just ordered 50 new double- decker buses from the Ballymena

:10:22.:10:27.

manufacturer. In Hong Kong we used double-deckers, and they are used

:10:27.:10:37.
:10:37.:10:37.

in the UK. They are high quality. Some Wrightbus workers are due to

:10:37.:10:42.

head out to China to work on the contract. The University of Ulster

:10:42.:10:48.

is getting them up to speed in Chinese. If we want to show that we

:10:49.:10:52.

are serious about engaging with the Chinese, we have to reciprocate.

:10:52.:10:56.

They have learned our language, we have to show we are engaging with

:10:56.:11:02.

their language and culture. If in April, China's most high riding

:11:02.:11:05.

stateswoman visited Northern Ireland. She invited the First and

:11:05.:11:09.

Deputy First Ministers to pay her a return visit. Because of a

:11:09.:11:12.

wholesale change in the Chinese leadership, that political trip has

:11:12.:11:16.

been delayed until next year, but the Stormont politicians decided

:11:16.:11:21.

they should go ahead in any case with their current business mission.

:11:21.:11:26.

We have taken advice from the Irish and British ambassadors. Their view

:11:26.:11:29.

is that whenever you try to build links with China, there is no point

:11:29.:11:33.

in going on a one-off trip. You have got to get to know people and

:11:33.:11:38.

build connections. China is on track to overtake America as the

:11:38.:11:42.

world's largest economy within the next 15 years and our local

:11:42.:11:45.

business and political leaders say that is a fact of life they cannot

:11:45.:11:52.

ignore. Detectives investigating the murder

:11:52.:11:57.

of the Coleraine pensioner Bertie Acheson have arrested a 22-year-old

:11:57.:12:02.

woman in the Antrim area. Mr Acheson was assaulted by an

:12:02.:12:05.

intruder in the home he shared with his wife. He suffered a heart

:12:05.:12:09.

attack during a burglary. The woman was arrested this morning.

:12:09.:12:12.

Detectives investigating the murder of the teenager Caroline Graham

:12:12.:12:17.

want the person who sent them a map to make contact. In 19-year-old was

:12:17.:12:22.

reported missing in Portadown in April 1989. Since then, a series of

:12:22.:12:26.

searches has been carried out in the town to try to find her body.

:12:26.:12:30.

The police say they need clarification about some of the

:12:30.:12:34.

information contained in the map. When it comes to our personal

:12:34.:12:37.

finances, we know we have to be extremely careful with bank cards

:12:37.:12:42.

and credit cards to avoid being defrauded. BBC Newsline has been

:12:42.:12:45.

speaking to a couple who did all the right things, yet still ended

:12:45.:12:49.

up having their bank account and teach. Their card was intercepted

:12:49.:12:55.

when they were waiting for it to arrive in the post and the thieves

:12:55.:13:00.

got away with hundreds of pounds. Between January and July of this

:13:00.:13:08.

year, more than �180 million was stolen from cards in the UK. Three

:13:08.:13:12.

weeks ago, David and Rebecca Williams and discovered they had

:13:12.:13:17.

also become victims. We had not used our card all weekend. It was

:13:17.:13:22.

just the usual Monday morning, filling the car with diesel.

:13:22.:13:28.

Luckily I had paid for my days off. I tried to use my card for

:13:28.:13:32.

something else and it was rejected. A quick call to their local bank

:13:32.:13:35.

and the couple discovered the new card they were waiting on had been

:13:35.:13:40.

intercepted and was being used in Maidenhead, near London. On the

:13:40.:13:43.

Internet, they did not need my pen. You never need a pin for the

:13:44.:13:50.

internet. They were able to buy things using the start date, expiry

:13:50.:13:54.

date and the digits at the back. They would have had my address from

:13:54.:13:59.

the latter. The thieves took hundreds of pounds from a couple's

:13:59.:14:04.

account, spent on a variety of items, including Pizza and Howth

:14:04.:14:08.

furniture. I was worried that more body was going to go into this

:14:08.:14:14.

account and I did not know if it was waiting to go. Because I have

:14:14.:14:18.

an overdraft, I was worried they would take that as well. If what

:14:18.:14:21.

they could not understand is how they were not enough checks in

:14:21.:14:25.

place to prevent thieves from using someone else's card on the internet.

:14:25.:14:29.

If you are never going to be able to put in a system which provides

:14:29.:14:33.

that convenience for customers but does not make it impossible for

:14:33.:14:39.

fraudsters to use the card. I would stress, there are security measures

:14:39.:14:45.

in place in all kinds of areas, boast that the customer sees and

:14:45.:14:49.

that retailers are a wearer, and the banks are a whereof, to try and

:14:50.:14:56.

make life difficult for the fraudsters. In the last few days,

:14:56.:15:03.

the couple received a full refund for the money they lost, but they

:15:03.:15:05.

said they would ever want to go through the inconvenience of a

:15:05.:15:15.

Coming up, he is still on target. Rory McIlroy's amazing year rolls

:15:15.:15:25.
:15:25.:15:26.

The Irish government says that it will now take up an annual

:15:26.:15:32.

invitation to be the main -- hold the main Remembrance Sunday

:15:32.:15:39.

ceremony at the Cenotaph in Belfast. At a local soccer match, a minute's

:15:39.:15:49.
:15:49.:15:51.

silence was disrupted by some fans. By the ceremonial remains largely

:15:51.:16:01.
:16:01.:16:03.

the same. Tradition and poignancy. Some returning year after year, of

:16:03.:16:11.

all soldiers like Alex. -- old soldiers. At the Cenotaph this year,

:16:11.:16:16.

a new participant. For the first time on a Remembrance Sunday, an

:16:16.:16:22.

Irish government minister. Among the poppy wreaths, a Laurel wreath.

:16:22.:16:26.

From the Government of Ireland. here to remember on behalf of the

:16:26.:16:30.

Irish government will lives that were lost and the suffering that

:16:30.:16:35.

was injured, and the families that were touched. It was not only the

:16:36.:16:42.

Cenotaph in Belfast. At the war memorial in Enniskillen, the

:16:42.:16:47.

Taoiseach remembered the dead. While the leaders remember the

:16:47.:16:55.

fallen, there was also discord during a minute's silence at an

:16:55.:17:05.
:17:05.:17:10.

Irish a football match in the heart of Belfast.

:17:10.:17:14.

In the nationalist Irish News today, praise for the Irish government.

:17:14.:17:18.

The paper's editor except that low- level problems will take more time

:17:18.:17:23.

to resolve. I think a lack of maturity there. People booing

:17:23.:17:26.

during the silence, possibly a little adventure is to ask people

:17:26.:17:33.

at a football match with the local passions, to observe an event like

:17:33.:17:40.

that. Maybe an educational process on all sides. We hope that people

:17:40.:17:44.

will behave in a dignified way and show respect for each other, and

:17:44.:17:48.

that clearly did not happen at a football match on Saturday. It did

:17:48.:17:51.

happen at the Remembrance Day services over the weekend. While

:17:51.:17:58.

not everyone is ready to change their minds on Remembrance, those

:17:58.:18:01.

from very different political backgrounds who did stand together

:18:01.:18:08.

want that to be the image of the future.

:18:08.:18:12.

And people have been posting comments on that story on our

:18:12.:18:17.

Facebook age. Join the discussion on that and other reports.

:18:17.:18:24.

Next, Rory McIlroy and success has been his middle name for some time!

:18:24.:18:27.

More celebrations. Absolutely, it has been an

:18:27.:18:34.

incredible season. His second major success, winning the US PGA Tour.

:18:34.:18:40.

With that, 10 or $11 million. Very nice. And yesterday he won the

:18:40.:18:47.

European version, the race to Dubai. More importantly, he is the second

:18:47.:18:52.

golfer in history to win both of those in the one here. Take a look

:18:52.:18:56.

at this because this is how he did it. He guaranteed he would finish

:18:56.:18:59.

top of the pile with a strong finish to clinch third at the

:18:59.:19:06.

Singapore Open. Six-under-par in the final round. One more

:19:06.:19:11.

tournament left, the finishing tournament in a couple of weeks'

:19:11.:19:16.

time. As of now, nobody can beat him. This afternoon, no bodies and

:19:16.:19:20.

they finished with an eagle. It was very nice. -- bogies. I needed

:19:20.:19:28.

something like this to get be up there. I will take a couple of days

:19:28.:19:33.

off, and then we're going to Hong Kong. I will get myself ready for

:19:33.:19:39.

that and try to win another tournament. It was an Ulsterman who

:19:39.:19:43.

broke Irish rugby hearts at the weekend. Ruan Pienaar produced a

:19:43.:19:48.

try-scoring performance to help South Africa beat Ireland. It is

:19:48.:19:52.

Ireland's worst losing sequence for 14 years and it will not get any

:19:52.:20:00.

easier when they beat Argentina. It was always going to be physical,

:20:00.:20:06.

but at times it was over the top. South Africa attempted to rattle

:20:06.:20:11.

Ireland. But when many were losing their heads, the coolest man in the

:20:11.:20:21.
:20:21.:20:21.

Aviva Stadium was Rimell -- Ruan Pienaar. It took a special team

:20:21.:20:27.

performance. We made a lot of mistakes in the first half. In the

:20:27.:20:32.

second half, I thought we controlled the game nicely. It is

:20:32.:20:39.

an awesome stadium to playing. -- play in. It was a lot of fun and I

:20:39.:20:44.

enjoyed it. For one of his team- mates, his man-of-the-match

:20:44.:20:50.

performance came as no surprise. is classic Ruan Pienaar. We knew

:20:50.:20:55.

all about him. He had another outstanding game. Whatever team he

:20:55.:21:05.
:21:05.:21:05.

plays in, he is pivotal. He knows what to do it. Great for him, and I

:21:05.:21:09.

am happy that it was a successful day for them but for us it was

:21:09.:21:13.

disappointing. There were positives for Ireland. Some new faces make

:21:13.:21:16.

their mark but too often they found the Springboks impossible to bring

:21:16.:21:22.

down. As a coach, you always take positives out of so many young men

:21:22.:21:29.

coming through. There are a lot of new guise spreading enthusiasm to

:21:29.:21:34.

the game. My overriding feeling his disappointment because I know that

:21:34.:21:38.

they are inside and we need to close the deal one of these days.

:21:38.:21:43.

With another drop at the start of December, the results me to turn

:21:43.:21:48.

around, and fast. -- Another draw. Johnny Evans

:21:48.:21:55.

tonight is one of four players in the northern Ireland squad ahead of

:21:55.:22:01.

the World Cup final. -- Final. Opposition is not be underestimated

:22:02.:22:11.

but the Northern -- by the Northern Ireland manager. We expect a very

:22:11.:22:16.

tough game. It is not a case of turning up and getting three points.

:22:16.:22:20.

We will have to work equally hard, as we did in Portugal. I would

:22:20.:22:24.

expect us to have more possession and have a more attacking approach.

:22:24.:22:29.

But this is going to be every bit as difficult. Bahrain, as it has

:22:29.:22:34.

been in all the home games, is three points. -- our aim.

:22:34.:22:37.

Football Association of Ireland confirmed that John Waters has been

:22:37.:22:40.

local football, top of the Premiership after one defeat in

their last nine games. They defeated the champions, Linfield,

:22:59.:23:05.

3-1, opening up a six-point gap between them and the pack.

:23:05.:23:09.

Up until this game, Linfield were the bookies favourites to retain

:23:09.:23:14.

the title, but such was the manner of this victory that Cliftonville

:23:14.:23:24.
:23:24.:23:24.

occupy this position. Their top striker was the star of the show,

:23:24.:23:30.

making it eight goals in eight games. For a striker, it is all

:23:30.:23:34.

about goals and one goal in every day is -- in every game is perfect.

:23:34.:23:41.

I hope it carries on. Linfield are 12 points behind. It was their 6th

:23:41.:23:45.

defeat of the season. Things went from bad to worse for David

The more spectacular strike of the weekend came courtesy of Stephen

two minutes into injury time secured three points for Glentoran

against Dungannon Swifts. They have dominated the club scene

They simply did not have any answers to the Crossmaglen Rangers

team. The Armagh champions make it look so, so simple. That is how it

:25:02.:25:06.

looks on the scoreboard but it is a tough, physical game. We have not

played in a month and we were glad to get the game. The fact that

:25:10.:25:15.

we're playing next week is probably good for us. Hopefully it will be a

success. They are the champions. Rory in the dressing room, I do not

think it will affect them. Confidence in gym and confidence in

Crossmaglen as the familiar journey to success continues with relative

We do not have the best of whether to hang out the washing today but

:26:19.:26:25.

let's look ahead. -- best-of weather. It has been a grim start

:26:25.:26:30.

to the week. Of course, the sun has gone into

hiding once again. We will not be seeing a lot of it in the days

ahead. We're going to hold on to cloud, and it will be wet at times.

:26:43.:26:46.

Thursday looks at being our better day at this point. But least it is

:26:46.:26:52.

not looking too cold. I think the night frost should not be too much

:26:52.:26:56.

of an issue. Certainly, plenty of cloud in the sky with bits and

:26:56.:27:00.

pieces of rain running through. Once they clear, it will be very

:27:00.:27:05.

mild. It is going to stay pretty mild tonight. Relatively dry for a

:27:06.:27:09.

time this evening, at least to begin with. Overcast, misty and

:27:10.:27:17.

murky and with more rain falling in the south. Look at the temperatures.

:27:17.:27:22.

No lower than 10 or 11. Into tomorrow, I think it is going to be

:27:22.:27:26.

a slightly breezy good day for many. There will be more spells of rain

:27:26.:27:30.

to come. Having said that, that rain may ease off for the rush-hour

:27:30.:27:33.

in places but it is going to be dull and damned to start the day.

:27:33.:27:38.

There will still be puddles to look out for. Added will not be long

:27:38.:27:41.

before persistent rain starts to engine. It looks as though the West

:27:41.:27:47.

is going to be in the firing line first off. Eventually, parts of

:27:47.:27:54.

Mid-Ulster, maybe Armagh and Antrim, too. If you're in County Down, you

:27:54.:28:00.

may avoid the worst of it. For all of us, it will be mild again. The

:28:00.:28:02.

rain lingering in the North and West tomorrow night and into

:28:02.:28:07.

Wednesday. By that stage, it may be starting to ease off. Thursday
