for the Orange Order as the Parades Commission refuses permission.

:00:34.:00:40.

Will the sudden give the economy a bounce?

:00:40.:00:45.

Leah, you are going to be my business partner.

:00:45.:00:50.

Celebrations in Londonderry as a local woman wins the The Apprentice.

:00:50.:00:53.

We get our hands on this 3000 -year-old treasure.

:00:54.:01:01.

I European -- it is meltdown for Rory McIlroy, who said he felt

:01:01.:01:03.

unconscious during today, disappointing through the opening

:01:03.:01:08.

round. And if anything the temperatures are

:01:08.:01:18.
:01:18.:01:18.

rising again, potentially even Parades Commission has banned the

:01:18.:01:22.

Orange Order from walking past the flash point of the Ardoyne area in

:01:22.:01:28.

north Belfast. And you application by Lodges in Ligoneil to use the

:01:28.:01:33.

same route as the return Twelfth parade has been rejected. On a

:01:33.:01:38.

nightly basis there has been street violence in north Belfast and other

:01:38.:01:42.

areas. The latest ruling means Saturday's march will go from the

:01:42.:01:48.

Shankill Road along the Woodvale Road but will be stopped there. It

:01:48.:01:54.

will not be allowed to go past the Ardoyne area, up the Crumlin Road to

:01:54.:01:58.

Ligoneil Orange Hall. The Orange Order says anyone intent on causing

:01:58.:02:02.

trouble should stay away from Saturday's parade.

:02:02.:02:07.

Our political corresponded reports. The Parades Commission said no, but

:02:07.:02:12.

still, the protest goes on. Seems last night just hours after it

:02:12.:02:17.

emerged the Orange Order and reapplied to use the route refused

:02:17.:02:26.

them on the 12th of July. The leadership of the Orange Order

:02:26.:02:32.

has shown itself not to be very skilful, has shown itself to be

:02:32.:02:38.

doggedly reactionary in relation to trying to deal with this situation

:02:38.:02:42.

in a positive basis. I believe that the Orange Order should reflect

:02:42.:02:47.

very, very carefully on what they are doing, because they are leading

:02:47.:02:51.

people astray. This afternoon's decision by the Parades Commission

:02:51.:02:54.

on the Orange Order was welcomed by nationalist residents and

:02:54.:03:02.

politicians. The last thing we need here is more interface issues, more

:03:02.:03:06.

attention brought to the situation. They need to get out of the bubble

:03:07.:03:10.

they have income if I can put it like that, and realise the vast

:03:10.:03:16.

majority of people want a quiet summer and toxin September. That

:03:16.:03:22.

means not putting in more of these requests. -- Botox in September.

:03:22.:03:27.

In a statement, the grand Lodge appealed for calm and urged anyone

:03:27.:03:32.

intent on trouble to stay away from Saturday's parade as a violence is

:03:32.:03:39.

counter-productive and serves no purpose while damaging oranges. What

:03:39.:03:42.

do nationalist residents say about the possibility of the Ligoneil

:03:42.:03:46.

Lodges walking past the Ardoyne shops in future? All three loyal

:03:46.:03:52.

orders Mark as Michael march on that stretch of the Crumlin Road during

:03:52.:03:59.

the year. It is contentious, but I think that, yes, why not? They need

:03:59.:04:04.

to discuss the issue? Absolutely, I think everything is up for

:04:04.:04:08.

discussion and I don't think the people of Ardoyne will be found

:04:08.:04:12.

wanting. In making its decision, the Parades Commission said it was

:04:12.:04:15.

disappointed not to receive any representation from either Unionist

:04:15.:04:21.

politicians or the parade organisers.

:04:21.:04:25.

A combination of flag protests and the freezing spring weather may have

:04:25.:04:29.

been responsible for the Northern light -- Northern Ireland's economy

:04:29.:04:35.

shrinking slightly in the first three months of the year. As Helen

:04:35.:04:38.

Jones reports, for some, the summer months apart about a change in

:04:38.:04:43.

fortune. A much-needed boost to the high

:04:43.:04:47.

street. A new business opens its doors in Belfast for the first time

:04:47.:04:51.

today. Is there a new confidence, despite the continued weakness in

:04:51.:04:56.

the economy? The economy is good, but there are people investing in

:04:56.:05:02.

different projects. People are still going out to eat, that is people's

:05:02.:05:08.

treat. People still want to socialise. Especially with this

:05:08.:05:13.

weather, around Belfast the restaurants are busy. With sunshine

:05:13.:05:17.

comes optimism. It is hard to deny the tourism potential and visitors

:05:17.:05:23.

are tapping into it. Most things tend to look better in the sun. It

:05:23.:05:27.

is hard to believe a few months ago it was an altogether different

:05:27.:05:32.

picture. Two events contributed to a downturn in our economy. Loyalists

:05:32.:05:36.

took to the streets in protest after the council voted to restrict the

:05:36.:05:40.

flying of the union flag from City Hall.

:05:40.:05:46.

Trouble spilled into other areas. Hardly surprising, then, that

:05:46.:05:52.

consumers were reluctant to set foot in Belfast. Then came the snow.

:05:52.:05:56.

Communities cut off from each other, and all that meant our economy meant

:05:56.:06:01.

-- shrank by nearly 1% while in the UK as a whole there was a little bit

:06:01.:06:08.

of growth. Have things picked up since then? Overall, growth has been

:06:08.:06:13.

relatively weak in 2013, though things should improve next year. We

:06:13.:06:17.

look on the whole better than we have seen in quarter one, so we may

:06:17.:06:23.

see a rebound in the second-quarter. The UK and Northern Ireland

:06:23.:06:25.

economies are structurally different. Northern Ireland has a

:06:25.:06:28.

lot of small firms and more productivity per head, they don't

:06:28.:06:35.

export as much as the UK, so it seems it will take us a bit of time

:06:35.:06:40.

to catch up. One day has made all the difference

:06:40.:06:44.

for women from Londonderry with a big business idea. Leah Totton is

:06:44.:06:49.

hanging up her doctor's Court in London to be the business partner of

:06:49.:06:54.

the molten -- multimillionaire Lord Sugar. Last night she won the BBC TV

:06:54.:07:02.

contest The Apprentice which will see investment into her plan for a

:07:02.:07:05.

chain of cosmetic clinics. Back home her family has been celebrating.

:07:05.:07:11.

This report begins with a moment they had all been waiting for.

:07:11.:07:16.

The devil in me has to take a risk. Leah, you are going to be my

:07:16.:07:23.

business partner. Oh my God, thank you.

:07:23.:07:28.

It was a moment of triumph or Leah Totton, the 25 good old Doctor who

:07:28.:07:30.

became Lord Alan sugar's business partner after winning the

:07:30.:07:37.

apprentice. -- winning The Apprentice.

:07:37.:07:41.

Back home there were tears of joy, and more than a little excitement.

:07:41.:07:45.

That would have been about the happiest and proudest moment in my

:07:45.:07:49.

life, when that voice said you are my new business partner. What you

:07:50.:07:54.

have seen tonight is the best, it won't be matched.

:07:54.:08:00.

Leah Totton beat of her rival, Luisa Zissman, to win a �250,000

:08:00.:08:03.

investment for her cosmetics business. She said she found it very

:08:03.:08:07.

tough, but she can be very focused and she will not let anything beat

:08:07.:08:13.

her, so I knew she would stick at it. Leah Totton is the first winner

:08:13.:08:17.

from Northern Ireland, making her family immensely proud. I was the

:08:17.:08:22.

first in my family to leave Northern Ireland and to go to university, so

:08:22.:08:27.

it is not just a great achievement for me, but in particularly --

:08:27.:08:32.

particular for my family, as well, my aunts, my cousins, my granny and

:08:33.:08:36.

grandad. We are quite a tight-knit family and it is an amazing

:08:36.:08:41.

achievement for all of us. The former Londonderry College girl

:08:41.:08:46.

plans to offer anti ageing skin treatments and hinted she may open a

:08:46.:08:53.

clinic in her hometown one day. is big thing. This is Lord Sugar's

:08:53.:08:56.

business partner. It is just amazing. It doesn't get any better

:08:56.:09:04.

than that. It really doesn't. She said she was only after 16,000 for a

:09:04.:09:09.

receptionist, so... I don't want it! Tears of joy. We are so overwhelmed

:09:09.:09:15.

for her. I suppose you cannot wait to see her now?

:09:15.:09:20.

I am hoping she does me a wee job when she comes home!

:09:20.:09:24.

It is something I will think about, but none of them need it, they look

:09:24.:09:30.

fantastic. Everyone is very proud of Leah and

:09:30.:09:40.
:09:40.:09:41.

it looks like this party will with us here in the BBC Newsline

:09:42.:09:47.

studio tomorrow. If there is anything you would like me to ask

:09:47.:09:53.

her, check our Facebook page. The police are investigating damage

:09:53.:09:56.

to murals on the Shankill Road in Belfast. A memorial for the victims

:09:56.:10:02.

of an IRA pub bombing had paint thrown over it. The Bayardo Memorial

:10:02.:10:06.

was attacked overnight and police are appealing for information.

:10:06.:10:11.

The DUP's Edwin Poots has called for the governing body of European

:10:11.:10:16.

football to investigate following reports of pro-IRA chanting at last

:10:16.:10:19.

eight's match in Belfast between Cliftonville and Celtic. He said

:10:19.:10:24.

what had been a great footballing set -- spectacle had been marred by

:10:24.:10:29.

the singing of sectarian songs. Several people at the game reported

:10:29.:10:34.

some chanting apparently coming from Celtic supporters from Scotland. The

:10:34.:10:39.

BBC contacted Cliftonville for a response, but no one was available.

:10:39.:10:44.

A former chairman of Westminster's Essex watchdog has won the -- warned

:10:44.:10:51.

-- ethics watchdog has warned Stormont needs to properly supervise

:10:51.:10:57.

advisers. The role has come under increasing scrutiny. A recent BBC

:10:57.:11:01.

Spotlight programme aired claims DUP adviser had tried to pressure rise

:11:01.:11:06.

Housing executive at a meeting. It is an account he disputes. Do the

:11:06.:11:16.
:11:16.:11:18.

rules that govern this particular behind the scenes, but increasingly

:11:18.:11:25.

they are making headlines. It was the appointment of Mary Macleod or

:11:25.:11:35.
:11:35.:11:35.

as a ministerial adviser that put this role in the spotlight. -- Mary

:11:35.:11:43.

McArdle. She was convicted for her part in the murder of a woman. Now I

:11:43.:11:46.

will prohibits anyone with a serious conviction from being a special

:11:46.:11:51.

adviser. They are arms length from the

:11:51.:11:55.

minister when it suits, and when the minister wants a message out, etc,

:11:55.:12:00.

this person can be useful, and sometimes it is deniable, but they

:12:00.:12:04.

are the power behind the throne. Special advisers are employed to

:12:04.:12:09.

give ministers advice, brief MLAs, review newspapers and assist the

:12:09.:12:14.

minister. They are civil servants paid for by public funds. Their role

:12:14.:12:18.

is governed by a code of conduct stating they can carry out party

:12:18.:12:22.

political work but it is limited. It states that at all times they must

:12:22.:12:30.

uphold political impartiality. So com are the rules too lax and

:12:30.:12:37.

should the work of advisers be more controlled? Conor McDevitt used to

:12:37.:12:42.

be a special adviser. The best advisers should advise ministers.

:12:42.:12:46.

They should not be public political figures. They should not engage in

:12:46.:12:50.

electoral politics and they should understand there role is as a

:12:50.:12:55.

temporary senior civil servant, not party official. It is that conflict

:12:55.:12:58.

between working as a civil servant and having a political role that can

:12:58.:13:03.

cause tension. Extra care needs to be taken to

:13:03.:13:07.

insure that the Minister in particular properly supervises those

:13:07.:13:15.

special advisers and makes sure they do not either deliberately or

:13:15.:13:17.

unwittingly get involved in activities that not only clash with

:13:18.:13:23.

the rules, but would not justify the payment of their salaries from

:13:23.:13:28.

public funds. The executive has 19 special advisers who can earn as

:13:28.:13:34.

much as �90,000 per year. There needs to be clarity, and maybe

:13:34.:13:38.

it is time the parties said these men and women who are ministerial

:13:38.:13:42.

advisers, we will pay for them, then they are political and everyone

:13:42.:13:47.

understands. But they can't be political and paid for by taxpayers.

:13:47.:13:50.

Sometimes, special advisers create more headlines than ministers. Sinn

:13:50.:13:56.

Fein moved adviser Mary McArdle to another position after her original

:13:56.:14:00.

appointment cause controversy. Former IRA prisoner, Paul Kavanagh,

:14:00.:14:06.

who is also a Sinn Fein adviser, may also be on the move soon. He advises

:14:06.:14:09.

Martin McGuiness but new legislation barred him from remaining in office.

:14:09.:14:15.

The Ulster -- Ulster Unionist Party sacked adviser Brian Crowe in 2911

:14:15.:14:20.

when he was found to have sat -- sent sexually explicit

:14:20.:14:24.

correspondence. Recently, the spotlight fell on DUP adviser

:14:24.:14:28.

Stephen Brimstone. Advisers are meant to live life in the political

:14:28.:14:31.

shadows, but at Stormont it seems they are really out of the

:14:31.:14:36.

limelight. -- rarely out of the limelight.

:14:36.:14:40.

Still ahead this evening... Stephen Watson is at the open golf

:14:40.:14:44.

championship. It has been a very disappointing day

:14:45.:14:48.

for Rory McIlroy, but Darren Clarke has shown glimpses of his

:14:49.:14:58.
:14:59.:14:59.

championship winning form. All the latest from Muirfield.

:14:59.:15:01.

next to something described as the most important piece of the historic

:15:01.:15:07.

gold jewellery ever found in Northern Ireland. It is called a

:15:07.:15:13.

torc and is 3000 years old. It was discovered by a metal detector

:15:13.:15:16.

enthusiast and County Fermanagh and is now on display at the Austin

:15:17.:15:26.

Museum in Belfast. -- the Ulster Museum. It is behind

:15:26.:15:33.

glass in the Ulster Museum. If you months ago, this piece of jewellery

:15:33.:15:40.

resembled a boggy lump of metal. It was bought by the Department of

:15:40.:15:44.

culture for the people of Northern Ireland. The finder is legally

:15:44.:15:49.

obliged to report it to the relevant authorities. It is then considered

:15:49.:15:53.

by the coroner and the coroner makes a decision as to whether or not it

:15:53.:16:00.

is treasure. That decision is based on the age of the object, and the

:16:00.:16:04.

gold content and on both counts it qualified as treasure. Treasure

:16:04.:16:10.

today, but in 1300 BC, it would have been the must have fashion

:16:10.:16:14.

accessory. But it did not always looked like this. The 120

:16:14.:16:19.

centimetres of twisted gold would have been worn as a loop around the

:16:19.:16:24.

neck or waste. When the owner died and was buried, so was the piece of

:16:24.:16:29.

jewellery. Those in charge of the burial ceremony appear to have taken

:16:29.:16:35.

the easy and slightly selfish option. If it looks like a

:16:35.:16:40.

concertina and it is small, it is easier to bury, that we think that

:16:40.:16:44.

is a deliberate act, it is not something casually done. It was a

:16:45.:16:49.

conscious decision. It was like an act of decommissioning, the act --

:16:49.:16:53.

the idea being that no one -- the owner was not going to wear red and

:16:53.:16:58.

neither was anyone else. The Ulster Museum does not like to put a

:16:58.:17:06.

monetary value on things like this, but the object weighs 727 -- 720

:17:06.:17:16.
:17:16.:17:22.

grams, it is over 70% gold, and 11% silver.

:17:22.:17:27.

Careful hands needed there! It has been a hot day at the office for day

:17:27.:17:31.

one of the Open Championship to be held that near field. Rory McIlroy

:17:31.:17:41.
:17:41.:17:43.

has had a day to forget. Thank you. It is a glorious evening but it has

:17:43.:17:48.

been a horror show for Rory McIlroy. He slumped to donate overpower

:17:48.:17:58.
:17:58.:18:02.

opening round, 13 shots behind the clubhouse leader. -- over power. He

:18:02.:18:04.

said he does not understand how his record-breaking game of last year

:18:04.:18:10.

has unravelled. He says he's going back to the drawing board. Golf has

:18:10.:18:14.

always come very easily to him and this lull is something he has never

:18:14.:18:19.

experienced before. Rory McIlroy arrived at near field confident he

:18:19.:18:25.

was ready to reignite his season. But his open production all went

:18:25.:18:33.

horribly wrong. Oh, it's not off the back. The main problem was his

:18:33.:18:43.
:18:43.:18:48.

potter. -- his potter. He struggled to find his touch. He missed shot

:18:49.:18:54.

after shot. His round was littered with errors. Mistakes which left the

:18:54.:19:04.
:19:04.:19:06.

world number two confused as to what is going wrong. It is so brain-dead.

:19:07.:19:10.

I feel like I have been walking around like that for the last couple

:19:10.:19:16.

of months. I am trying to get out of it. I do not know how. It is nothing

:19:16.:19:26.

to do with technique, it is all mental out there. Sometimes I feel

:19:26.:19:31.

like I am walking around and I am unconscious. I need to try and think

:19:31.:19:37.

a little bit more. I am trying to think, trying to focus. Yes, I

:19:37.:19:43.

just... I cannot really father met at the minute and it is hard to

:19:43.:19:47.

stand up here and tell you what is really wrong. Darren Clarke is

:19:47.:19:50.

trying to work out how to win his second open championship. The 2011

:19:51.:20:00.
:20:01.:20:01.

champion got off to an excellent start. Yes! What a rattler.Graeme

:20:02.:20:09.

McDowell showed audiences of why he has one already this season. --

:20:10.:20:14.

showed glimpses of why he has been successful. Graeme McDowell is one

:20:14.:20:24.

over par. Gareth Maben is three over after nine holes. One interest --

:20:24.:20:32.

one interested spectator was Neil Lennon. Celtic beat Cliftonville

:20:32.:20:42.
:20:42.:20:44.

three goals to zero. It was an enchanting clash. They mingled and

:20:44.:20:48.

they bounced and bellowed. The Champions League had drawn into

:20:48.:20:54.

town. It is the match that every Cliftonville man, player and

:20:54.:21:00.

official has dreamt of. On a night of firsts, Celtic struck first from

:21:00.:21:10.
:21:10.:21:15.

a corner. Then it was to hyphens zero. The Greek found the

:21:15.:21:23.

bull's-eye. To hyphens zero. The Celtic defence was resolute. It

:21:23.:21:33.

finished three hyphen zero on the night. On the final whistle, Neil

:21:33.:21:40.

Lennon went walkabout. We are privileged to be back here. The

:21:40.:21:45.

atmosphere, the occasion was fantastic. We had a job to do and we

:21:45.:21:49.

did it very well. I was very wary going into the game. People had been

:21:50.:21:52.

talking negatively about our preseason but the players performed

:21:52.:21:59.

well in their attitude was great. All you have to do is go to Glasgow

:21:59.:22:06.

and scored four goals. That will not be a bother. Of course! But they are

:22:06.:22:11.

a class act. We knew that we were coming up against but we showed

:22:11.:22:20.

well. We have only been back. reality check, but the paying

:22:21.:22:24.

customers enjoyed a handsome cheque for the club. The revenue runs into

:22:24.:22:30.

tens of thousands. There is more European but alternate

:22:30.:22:34.

in the Europa League. Then field are in Greece, Derry City are in Turkey

:22:34.:22:38.

and we will have the results of those games later. We will also hear

:22:38.:22:44.

from Graeme McDowell he has nearly finished his first round. It will

:22:44.:22:47.

take us a while to get into the clubhouse when you trudge through

:22:47.:22:53.

this rap. We will get there in time. Is at a golf course or a prairie?

:22:53.:22:57.

The town of Coleraine has become synonymous with the sport of rowing,

:22:57.:23:02.

especially with the success of Richard Chambers, Peter Chambers and

:23:02.:23:08.

Alan Campbell. They may inspire up-and-coming competitors but money

:23:08.:23:12.

helps to, like money given to the club which inspired our Olympic

:23:12.:23:18.

medallists. Welcome to the River Bann. It is a

:23:18.:23:22.

wonderful evening to be out on the water. You will remember the great

:23:22.:23:25.

excitement here last year during the Olympic Games when the local

:23:25.:23:30.

Coleraine robbers were doing so well at Eton Dorney at the Olympic Games.

:23:30.:23:34.

One thing that was highlighted was the lack of funding for running in

:23:34.:23:43.

Northern Ireland. The facilities here at the bank club world for some

:23:43.:23:46.

of the athletes started their career. Money has come down the

:23:46.:23:52.

pipeline and it is being used to good effect. We can find out more

:23:52.:24:00.

from coach Jeff Bones. We were very successful for funding. We got money

:24:01.:24:04.

from a variety of sources. We have used it to purchase equipment to

:24:04.:24:11.

bring young people on. One of the most important assets is this piece

:24:11.:24:15.

of equipment. Have you had much interest from people wanting to get

:24:15.:24:24.

into the sport? We had a lot of interest last year. At one stage we

:24:24.:24:34.
:24:34.:24:36.

were sitting there with young girls, but not so many young men. For any

:24:36.:24:39.

man who want to try it out, please give us a shout. Let us find out how

:24:39.:24:42.

this new equipment is getting on. Erin Barry is here with me this

:24:42.:24:45.

evening. How have things improved? Training is more enjoyable with

:24:45.:24:50.

shiny new toys to play on. You can train more athletes at the same

:24:50.:24:54.

time. You can train them to a higher standard. I understand you are doing

:24:54.:24:59.

well? Tell me about that. I got selected for the Junior World

:24:59.:25:03.

Championships for Ireland in August. You have got this new shiny

:25:03.:25:07.

equipment but tell people about the training regime for this sport? We

:25:07.:25:11.

train every day apart from Friday, sometimes twice every day. It is

:25:11.:25:20.

very tough and tiring. Thank you. Erin Barry, remember that name. We

:25:20.:25:24.

expect to see an Olympic gold medal around her neck, and annex of many
