Good evening, welcome to BBC Newsline. Here, are the headlines.

Two arrest after an investigation into the financial abuse of

Housing associations could buy up millions of pound worth of empty

:00:41.:00:47.

homes here. A warning women here are among the least aware at

:00:51.:00:56.

made a difference. I might not have, but it might have, I will never

:00:56.:01:05.

know that, because now it is too late. �1 million is to be spent

:01:05.:01:08.

encourage people back in to Belfast, especially at night. I am here in

one of the newest restaurants to learn more about that advertising

Crusaders Irish Cup win against Linfield. And less fresh snow but

:01:24.:01:33.

ice is a major hazard, I will have more for you shortly. BBC Newsline

:01:33.:01:37.

has learned that a couple could be banned from operating two care

:01:37.:01:42.

homes, after the regulator found they had been responsible for what

:01:42.:01:49.

it called significant financial abuse of six vulnerable adults. The

:01:49.:01:55.

regulator's investigation focused on the care home in County Armagh.

:01:55.:02:05.
:02:05.:02:13.

The police are investigating. We And we will try and bring you that

:02:13.:02:18.

report later in the programme. But moving on to senior officers from

:02:18.:02:22.

the Metropolitan Police who ran the operation in response to the London

:02:22.:02:28.

riots are helping the PSNI with the flag protests here, it has merged

:02:28.:02:32.

the police are in discussion with the Parades Commission about

:02:32.:02:36.

whether it should make a der nag about the weekly parade to Belfast

:02:36.:02:40.

City Hall. The Parades Commission says it is taking legal advice on

:02:40.:02:50.
:02:50.:02:55.

And I am sorry sweem to be having a few technical problems with the

:02:55.:02:59.

first two story. Donna will join us with news of a poup 1 million

:02:59.:03:02.

response to the economic damage caused by the flag protest and

:03:02.:03:06.

riots and we will try and bring you those opening two reports later in

:03:06.:03:10.

the programme. But for the first time housing associations here will

:03:10.:03:15.

be able to offer houses for sale, rather than just providing social

:03:15.:03:19.

housing for rent. It is part of a new �12 million scheme, which aims

:03:19.:03:23.

to turn empty houses into a affordable homes. Our business

:03:23.:03:29.

correspondent has been finding out more. Refurbishing derelict houses

:03:29.:03:33.

like these and bringing them back in to use is one of the key aims of

:03:33.:03:39.

this new �12 million scheme. Until now, housing associations normally

:03:39.:03:45.

only provide rented accommodation. But a fund has been made available,

:03:45.:03:48.

which will give them an enhanced role.

:03:48.:03:52.

PROBLEM WITH SOUND . Here on BBC Newsline we are

:03:52.:03:56.

having some fairly serious sound problems, which we will try and

:03:56.:04:02.

resolve as soon as we can. Now, more than 150 investigations into

:04:02.:04:06.

allegations of criminal activity and misconduct by police officers

:04:06.:04:14.

are to resume. The investigations by the police ombudsman were

:04:14.:04:17.

inspected, after officers said the independence of the office had been

:04:17.:04:21.

compromised. Many of the cases involve allegation of collusion,

:04:21.:04:25.

the majority were refurred to the ombudsman by the historical

:04:26.:04:32.

inquiries team. Which was legally barred from investigations. Our

:04:32.:04:42.
:04:42.:04:54.

Home Affairs correspondent reports. Well, as you can tell we are having

:04:54.:04:58.

some more technical problems this evening. Apologies for that, we

:04:58.:05:02.

will try and cross to Donna, who is in our Belfast City centre

:05:03.:05:11.

restaurant. Yes, a lot of glitches tonight. In the wake of the union

:05:11.:05:15.

flag protests, I am in a part of the city that has been rejuvenated

:05:16.:05:20.

over the past couple of year, it has lots of new restaurants and

:05:20.:05:25.

hotels, and also a theatre. Now, January is normally not a great

:05:25.:05:31.

time for this type of business, but over the past eight weeks or so,

:05:31.:05:35.

BBC Newsline has seen how people have been discouraged because of

:05:35.:05:39.

the demonstrations from coming into this city centre to shop and also

:05:39.:05:44.

to socialise. Now, two gentlemen who are behind a big marketing

:05:44.:05:47.

campaign to get Belfast buzzing again, so to speak are with me.

:05:47.:05:51.

People who are involved in the protest have told our reporter,

:05:51.:05:57.

journalists, that you in a sense, and people like you, are making

:05:57.:06:02.

them a scapegoat, post-Christmas and in a recession people aren't

:06:02.:06:05.

going to come into the centre. have never commented on the protest.

:06:05.:06:11.

We are not talking about being down on normal trade, we have adjusted

:06:11.:06:15.

the figures we know what to expect and we are down on those. You have

:06:15.:06:20.

to remember we are also down on the hospitality sector, it earns its

:06:20.:06:23.

keep for quarter of year's turn over is done in the five-weeks of

:06:23.:06:27.

Christmas, we didn't get that, that impact is crippling the industry.

:06:27.:06:34.

How many jobs have been lost, how many are in jeopardy? Well, I mean,

:06:34.:06:38.

in actual fact one company paid off 506789 I was ringing round before

:06:38.:06:45.

we came here, that has hit the 100 odd. We asked them to hold the line,

:06:45.:06:49.

we were coming with this campaign, because we need to make sure when

:06:49.:06:52.

people come into Belfast, we have the staff. The places are ready to

:06:52.:06:55.

go, so the industry has come up to the channel. We are holding staff.

:06:55.:06:59.

We are going to be here. Belfast is going to be fun, it really s we are

:06:59.:07:04.

back in business. We are back in Belfast. This will be up to a �1

:07:04.:07:09.

million marketing campaign, John. What is the message? The simple

:07:09.:07:13.

message to the people of Belfast and first and foremost, Belfast is

:07:13.:07:17.

open for business. It's the same great city, lots of crack, great

:07:17.:07:20.

offer, fantastic offers in the bars and restaurants and in the retail

:07:20.:07:24.

environment. The only thing that has been missing has been the

:07:24.:07:27.

citizens coming back into town. You are right, there are a lot of

:07:28.:07:31.

reasons but all of them together, it has been a difficult time.

:07:31.:07:36.

are you targeting the message too? It is just local people? Working

:07:36.:07:40.

with the City Council and through Belfast visitor bureau and with

:07:40.:07:44.

Colin and the pubs of Ulster, we are targeting greater Belfast. The

:07:44.:07:48.

people who live and work there. If we can get them to stay in town at

:07:48.:07:52.

night. Come back in and enjoy what it has to offer, that is a start.

:07:52.:07:56.

We do have to move further out, but for now, between now and certainly

:07:56.:08:00.

the end of February, the concentration is the people of

:08:01.:08:08.

Belfast. Yet as I said frugal times, yet we saw the post-Christmas sale,

:08:08.:08:12.

one anchor tenant had record bids. Perhaps people are holding back on

:08:12.:08:16.

their money. They don't want to spend so much. They don't want to

:08:16.:08:20.

spend in a pub or restaurant. is fair to say retail hasn't been

:08:20.:08:24.

as badly hit. Which is why the council is supporting the evening

:08:24.:08:27.

economy and the entertainment economy. If you didn't get a chance

:08:27.:08:30.

to get into town to buy a watch today, you can go back tomorrow. If

:08:30.:08:35.

you didn't sit in a pub, that day has gone. If you didn't lie down on

:08:35.:08:39.

a bed in a hotel that evening is gone. It is vital for the economy,

:08:39.:08:44.

for the jobs and the sense of the place. We need the vibrancy back.

:08:44.:08:49.

Colin, how big and how quick a turn round do you need this to be?

:08:49.:08:53.

need it overnight, and we are saying we started a viral campaign

:08:53.:08:58.

ourself, last weekend, and we seen an upturn. It is turning into a

:08:58.:09:02.

movement, the number of people contacting us. This will turn round,

:09:02.:09:05.

I have no doubt. We will have people back in. The problem is we

:09:05.:09:08.

have to recover, keep going and rebuild what we lost, but we are on

:09:08.:09:14.

the move. OK. I must leave it there so �600,000 has been secured from

:09:14.:09:17.

Stormont for that marketing campaign. More money has still to

:09:17.:09:20.

be finally approved by Belfast City centre, the traders are hoping that

:09:20.:09:24.

the effect of that marketing campaign will happen sooner rather

:09:24.:09:31.

than later. Thank you. Now, we will return to tonight's top story. Let

:09:31.:09:35.

us hope we have fixed the sound issues we had at the start of the

:09:35.:09:39.

programme. We have learned a couple could be banned from operating two

:09:40.:09:45.

care homes, after the regulator found they had been responsible for

:09:45.:09:49.

significant financial abuse of six vulnerable adults. The regulator's

:09:49.:09:55.

investigation focused on a care home in County Armagh. The police

:09:55.:10:03.

are investigating. It was concerns about possible financial abuse of

:10:03.:10:08.

vulnerable adults that sparked an investigation by the social care

:10:08.:10:15.

trust, here at this care home and here at its sister home a few miles

:10:15.:10:23.

away. Both are owned and run by Norman and Mildred Wiley. The

:10:23.:10:26.

independent body with responsibility for inspects health

:10:26.:10:32.

and social care services is the -- regulation and Quant quality

:10:32.:10:38.

improvement. It has moved against the couple, deeming them to be

:10:38.:10:42.

unfit. It says on the balance of probability, significant financial

:10:42.:10:47.

abuse of six vulnerable adults did take place. This took the form of

:10:47.:10:51.

unjustified and significant overpayment, in relation to meals,

:10:51.:10:55.

the same in respect of the home's transport scheme, and unjustified

:10:55.:11:01.

and significant supervision charges. When I called I was told nobody was

:11:01.:11:06.

available for interview. This afternoon I have spoken to several

:11:06.:11:12.

people close to inquiries into the care home here, and the other one.

:11:12.:11:17.

One man who had a relative there said the vast majority of families

:11:17.:11:23.

were supportive of the owners. They say they didn't believe anybody had

:11:23.:11:26.

been duped. However, another source close to the inquiry told me that

:11:26.:11:30.

while that did reflect the position of some of the families, it wasn't

:11:30.:11:36.

the view of all of them. The police confirmed to me they were aware of

:11:36.:11:39.

the allegation and an investigation was under way. They confirmed man

:11:39.:11:42.

and woman had been arrested, questioned and released on bail,

:11:42.:11:49.

pending further inquiries. Two senior officers from the

:11:49.:11:53.

Metropolitan Police who ran the operation in response to the London

:11:53.:11:58.

riots are helping the PSNI with the flag protest here. It has merged

:11:58.:12:01.

that the police are in discussion with the Parades Commission about

:12:01.:12:04.

whether it should make a determination about the weekly

:12:04.:12:07.

loyalist parade to Belfast City Hall. The Parades Commission says

:12:07.:12:12.

it is taking legal advice on the matter. The police have said

:12:12.:12:17.

publikely they are only part of the answer to the flags' issue. Today

:12:17.:12:19.

they repeated that they would pursue people who had been involved

:12:19.:12:25.

in criminal acts during that dispute. And that a team of 70 had

:12:25.:12:29.

been set up to do the work. It is understood the police feel there's

:12:29.:12:33.

is a public appetite for a firmer response after seven weeks of

:12:33.:12:37.

disruption. They have promised that and in addition they say they will

:12:37.:12:41.

be searching through hundreds of hours of CCTV for pictures of

:12:41.:12:44.

people attacking their Officers, and blocking roads. Blocking the

:12:44.:12:49.

road is a criminal act. If you are obstructing the high way we will

:12:49.:12:55.

investigate that. If you want to attack police, if you want to throw

:12:55.:12:59.

petrol bombs at them, fire fireworks at them. Those are

:12:59.:13:02.

criminal acts. Through our work with the public prosecution service

:13:02.:13:06.

and the various mechanisms we have for disposing of the different case,

:13:06.:13:10.

we will come to some arrangement where by as many people as possible

:13:11.:13:20.

feel and understand the Some of the protests have drawn

:13:20.:13:28.

large crowds. So far, 174 people have been arrested. Two senior

:13:28.:13:33.

officers from the Metropolitan Police, who oversaw the London

:13:33.:13:41.

riots to no good years ago, are now working alongside the PSNI. -- two

:13:41.:13:49.

years ago. The PSNI is currently 7,000 strong. The part social media

:13:49.:13:55.

has played in this is also believed to have caused some difficulties.

:13:55.:14:05.
:14:05.:14:12.

So far, comments have been referred, but none have been charged to have

:14:12.:14:18.

been in relation with their protests. The police have been in

:14:18.:14:22.

contact with the Parades Commission to establish whether there should

:14:22.:14:28.

be a determination made about any decisions made. Go for the first

:14:28.:14:32.

time, housing associations here will be able to offer houses for

:14:32.:14:38.

sale, rather than just offer social housing for rent, are as part of a

:14:38.:14:45.

new scheme that will turn empty houses into affordable homes.

:14:45.:14:49.

Refurbishing derelict houses like these and bringing them back into

:14:49.:14:55.

use is one of the key aims of this new �12 million scheme. Until now,

:14:55.:14:59.

housing associations normally provided rented accommodation, but

:14:59.:15:04.

now they will have an enhanced role, and that -- allowing them to buy

:15:04.:15:09.

repossessed houses and, for the first time, sell them on to members

:15:09.:15:14.

of the public. The affordable housing sector is immensely

:15:14.:15:20.

important, because for some people, it is the only option. We need the

:15:20.:15:25.

help from all of the different sectors of society. It will show

:15:25.:15:29.

that housing associations can set - - step up to the mark and be

:15:29.:15:33.

innovative. We need a strong housing association sector in

:15:33.:15:40.

Northern Ireland. Most of the �12 million will go towards building

:15:40.:15:45.

new homes for sale through shared equity schemes, but the remainder

:15:45.:15:49.

will go on empty properties. Some of the money will be spent by

:15:49.:15:54.

housing associations buying vacant properties like these. Contractors

:15:54.:15:58.

will then be on hand to refurbish them. The scheme will bring some

:15:58.:16:03.

employment along the way. The houses will be sold on to people on

:16:03.:16:08.

a coal ownership tied basis, which will make them more affordable, but

:16:08.:16:12.

not everyone is convinced the scheme is a good idea. This

:16:12.:16:17.

apartment went on the market today for �25,000. The continuing slide

:16:17.:16:25.

in property prices, one expert says, is because people cannot get

:16:25.:16:31.

finance. -- financing. That money could be spent giving 1,000 first-

:16:31.:16:35.

time buyers money to go out and get their properties. They would be

:16:35.:16:39.

better off writing a first-time buyer a cheque and telling them

:16:39.:16:46.

that they could go get a home and said of trying to put properties.

:16:46.:16:53.

Some housing associations are already have their eyes are on some

:16:53.:17:03.
:17:03.:17:05.

vacant homes they want to refurbish. More than 150 investigations into

:17:05.:17:07.

allegations of criminal activity and misconduct by police officers

:17:07.:17:14.

are to resume. The investigations by the Police Ombudsman were

:17:14.:17:16.

suspended 16 months ago after inspectors said the operational

:17:16.:17:19.

independence of the office had been compromised. Many of the cases

:17:19.:17:22.

involve allegations of collusion. The majority were referred to the

:17:22.:17:24.

Ombudsman by the Historical Enquiries Team, which is legally

:17:24.:17:26.

barred from investigating allegations of misconduct by police

:17:26.:17:35.

officers. This man was a Catholic police officer, shot dead in 1977.

:17:35.:17:40.

It has been claimed that or you see colleagues helped his killers. The

:17:40.:17:45.

investigation into those claims was more than 150 cases suspended by

:17:45.:17:51.

the Police Ombudsman 16 months ago. Michael Maguire was appointed last

:17:51.:17:57.

summer. In his previous role, he produced a hearty critical report

:17:57.:18:01.

about the office he now leads. He said the way historical

:18:01.:18:07.

investigations were carried out had compromise the independence of the

:18:07.:18:11.

Office from the police. He said that the relationship between the

:18:11.:18:15.

Ombudsman and the police had become too cosy. Some inspectors have said

:18:15.:18:20.

that a number of reports into historical events had been altered

:18:20.:18:26.

to produce criticism of the police. One report said that the reports

:18:26.:18:30.

and to historical events should be suspended and will problems had

:18:30.:18:34.

been addressed. Another report today said that enough improvement

:18:34.:18:44.

had been made to resume those investigations. Some people have

:18:44.:18:47.

come into the organisation with significant investigative

:18:47.:18:55.

experience. That gives us a lot of confidence within forward.

:18:55.:19:00.

Office of the Ombudsman has been given �12 million for a dedicated

:19:00.:19:04.

team of 40 investigators to complete more than 150 historical

:19:04.:19:08.

cases during the next six years. Michael Maguire has welcomed the

:19:08.:19:11.

green light to resume the investigations, but will the time

:19:11.:19:16.

and money he has been given be enough? I think it is an achievable

:19:16.:19:23.

-- I think it is achievable. It is ambitious. I do not have resources

:19:23.:19:28.

to address all of the concerns. Sinn Fein has welcomed the move and

:19:28.:19:32.

says it will help restore public confidence in the Ombudsman's

:19:32.:19:38.

Office. But the DP takes a very different view. We remain of the

:19:38.:19:42.

few that these cases should not be dealt with by the Police Ombudsman.

:19:42.:19:49.

The Ombudsman was made to deal with current cases. We feel it

:19:49.:19:54.

undermines the Ombudsman. These historical cases require a large

:19:54.:19:58.

amount -- amount of time and resource, and we feel it would be

:19:58.:20:02.

better if they were dealt with elsewhere. I think Michael Maguire

:20:02.:20:09.

is up to the task and has made the changes that are necessary. We are

:20:09.:20:13.

very much up for that. This is the right place to do these

:20:13.:20:21.

investigations into wrong doings in the past. We will also be dealing

:20:21.:20:26.

with present issues as well. Michael Maguire knows he cannot

:20:26.:20:36.
:20:36.:20:37.

afford to make the mistakes he said were made in the past.

:20:37.:20:40.

A woman who is terminally ill with ovarian cancer says more needs to

:20:40.:20:43.

be done to raise awareness of the disease especially among GPs in

:20:43.:20:45.

Northern Ireland. According to the latest statistics, 119 women died

:20:45.:20:48.

here from the cancer last year. With poor early detection rates it

:20:48.:20:58.
:20:58.:20:59.

is felt that many lives are being lost unnecessarily.

:20:59.:21:04.

This woman is getting ready to hit the road, having produced her own

:21:04.:21:08.

album, through music, she is spreading her knowledge of ovarian

:21:09.:21:13.

cancer, a condition she was diagnosed with three years ago. She

:21:13.:21:19.

first Duchy had irritable bowel syndrome, -- she first thought she

:21:19.:21:29.
:21:29.:21:30.

had irritable bowel syndrome, when a tumour was released -- discovered.

:21:31.:21:35.

I think there could have been a difference if the diagnosis was

:21:35.:21:42.

made earlier. A part of the problem is that sentence of ovarian cancer

:21:42.:21:49.

at similar to other conditions. Among them are or a pain in the

:21:49.:21:56.

pelvis or abdomen. Those involved in current research say that more

:21:56.:22:03.

cases must be detected sooner. recognise that survival is better

:22:03.:22:08.

if the disease is picked up at an earlier stage, however, many of

:22:08.:22:15.

these women, the survival figures, comparing them with 10 years ago,

:22:15.:22:22.

have changed dramatically. Last year, 119 women died of the disease.

:22:22.:22:27.

Criticism that GPs are ill-equipped to spot different types of cancer

:22:27.:22:32.

has been rejected by the BMA. feel that the GM's -- GPs are very

:22:32.:22:40.

aware of cancer. This is the silent killer, and we as GPs have for many

:22:40.:22:44.

fifth round replay suggests Linfield's grip on the domestic

pill to swallow for Linfield. Not only was at one of their former

Everyone just believes they can win every trophy we go for. That is the

League Cup final against Cliftonville on Saturday.

This year's Six Nations championship was officially

launched in London today. Ireland's campaign will begin with an trip to

Cardiff on Saturday week to play Wales. The Welsh won the

corresponding game in Dublin last year. Ireland will have a score to

settle. However, the coach today found himself fielding more

:26:01.:26:04.

questions about his decision to switch the captaincy from Brian

:26:04.:26:06.

O'Driscoll to Jamie Heaslip. needed to give Brian O'Driscoll

:26:06.:26:12.

some space so he could get up and going. Sometimes you have to do

:26:12.:26:17.

what do you think is right for the player. Hopefully, by giving him

:26:17.:26:21.

this time and space, he will be stronger when he comes back. You

:26:21.:26:26.

always a need him as a player more than union -- more than you need

:26:26.:26:32.

him as a captain. I know you like to belt out a tune, but some people

:26:32.:26:37.

do not have a musical note in their head. Others are naturally talented,

:26:37.:26:41.

like Steven Bell. He spent last year composing a song for every

:26:41.:26:47.

single date in 2012. Why? We found out when we went to take a look at

:26:47.:26:57.

his remarkable audio diary. Some people find an achievement in

:26:57.:27:02.

writing one song, but Steven Bell wrote one for every day last year.

:27:02.:27:08.

He explains why he did it. John Lennon said that a song should be

:27:08.:27:14.

Britain on one day, a record at the next day, pressed the next day,

:27:14.:27:17.

promoted the next day and released the following day. I wanted to do

:27:17.:27:22.

all of that in one day. That is where the idea came from. It was

:27:22.:27:29.

just a moment of madness, really. His two children were among many

:27:29.:27:35.

things that gave the full-time dad inspiration. Just from what I was

:27:35.:27:41.

doing, those days, sometimes you pick up the paper and read

:27:41.:27:47.

something or you just hear a phrase, and sometimes you write out of

:27:47.:27:52.

frustration. If you were trying to write a diary for a year, every day,

:27:52.:27:56.

it would be difficult. Putting a song together every day is fraught,

:27:56.:28:00.

and there would be times when he would have to come to our House to

:28:00.:28:05.

work on his songs and record at 12 o'clock at night. It has been very

:28:05.:28:12.

difficult. It takes a lot of commitment and hard -- hard work.

:28:12.:28:17.

Along with pursuing a career in music, he hopes to perform all of

The winter is still very much here. At least no more snow today. Yes,

:28:30.:28:38.

things are at a good deal, then they were. Not much and the way of

:28:38.:28:45.

fresh snow. It did not get the chance to fall, really, either. You

:28:45.:28:51.

can see in this picture, the waterlogged day. It is not really

:28:51.:28:55.

until the end of the week that we will see a decent bowl. We have

:28:55.:29:01.

lost the snow, but we have seen some ice causing some pretty major

:29:01.:29:05.

problems on our roads. The ice is likely to cause a fair bit of

:29:06.:29:11.

disruption. Tonight, another bitterly cold night to calm. We

:29:11.:29:20.

could see -- another cold night to come. We have got some freezing fog

:29:20.:29:25.

patches around, and they might be quite slow to clear in the morning.

:29:25.:29:30.

It will certainly be a cold start and an I c one as well. Probably

:29:30.:29:38.

the best day to get out and about, though. Through the afternoon, the

:29:38.:29:43.

breeze will pick up, and we have got some FTSE thickening up, and
