Police investigating the murder of a three-year-old boy in Lisburn have | :01:04. | :01:16. | |
arrested two people. Brendan Owens was found dead at a house near the | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
town centre in July. Conor Macauley reports. | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
This goes back to an incident in July when police were called to a | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
house here at Trinity Terrace near to the centre of Lisburn. Detectives | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
found the body of three-year-old Brendan Owens who was already dead. | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
found the body of three-year-old A postmortem examination was carried | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
out on his remains and that appears to have been inconclusive. Today, | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
police announced they had begun a murder enquiry and had arrested a | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
27-year-old woman. And this afternoon, detect and said they had | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
made a second arrest, a 51-year-old man also being held in connection | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
with the enquiry. The news this is now a murder enquiry has shocked the | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
people of Lisburn. This is a heartbreaking story, it is very | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
tragic and my heart goes out to the family that are affected by this. | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
Anyone who loses a child, particularly in the circumstances, | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
it is devastating and now there is a police investigation. Police carried | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
it is devastating and now there is a out door-to-door enquiries in this | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
area to establish what might have happened to Brendan Owens. Residents | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
say the woman who lived in her house and was in her 20s had only moved in | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
shortly before the body of the child was found. | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
A charity has warned that vulnerable children are in danger of getting | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
lost in the middle of political squabbling. The warning comes as it | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
emerged there was an attempt to introduce legislation to protect | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
missing children three years ago, but it never got off the ground. 30 | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
people have been arrested as part of the investigation into the sexual | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
exploitation of at least 22 teenagers. Our health correspondent, | :02:59. | :03:08. | |
Marie-Louise Connolly, has more. Despite being among the most | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
vulnerable in society, sometimes children, especially those in care, | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
on that given the best protection. As this week 's news has been | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
dominated by reports 22 people here were sexually exploited, it is not | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
surprising questions are being asked whether more could be done to | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
protect them. Many attempts were made, including three years ago, | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
when some politicians and charities try to introduce legislation but | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
money and politics got in the way. This research paper reveals in 2010, | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
attempts were advanced to introduce a private members bill to protect | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
missing and runaway children. The NSPCC and the probation board | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
responded and Barnardos produced a report, but the attempt fell at the | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
final hurdle, less than a year later. My understanding is that at | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
the time, the Department of Health had traces to make about budgets and | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
what it should spend money on. -- choices. Those included spending on | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
what it should spend money on. -- Accident and Emergency services. The | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
guest speaker this afternoon said she now regret she did not stick | :04:16. | :04:24. | |
with the bill. They told me this was not an issue. What I was proposing | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
would criminalise young people in care. But what I found most | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
distressing is that during this time care. But what I found most | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
of debate, with senior officials, was the children and young people | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
that were being abused and sexually exploited. This afternoon in South | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
Belfast, the safeguarding board updated charities on the process. | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
Among them is Barnardos who were at the centre of train to push through | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
the Private members Bill. We would have supported that Bill. But it is | :04:55. | :05:04. | |
far better the have supported that Bill. But it is | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
responsible take that responsibility. Behind the politics, | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
there are the children, and those who represent them. Today, their | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
message was clear about the focus. We want to bring the focus back to | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
children. And considering the messages they are hearing and what | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
they are reading. Young people are very concerned and angry about the | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
language being used and it has made very concerned and angry about the | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
them very upset. We are concerned because that has affected the | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
relationship between them and the residential worker. Meanwhile, -- | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
Meanwhile, the Chief Constable has told a Stormont Committee today he | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
would welcome a review into how police investigate child sex | :05:45. | :06:01. | |
exploitation. The American diplomat Richard Haass | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
has been told by business leaders of The American diplomat Richard Haass | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
the costly damage done to the economy by problems over flags and | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
parades. It has been claimed that disorder and protests linked to the | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
City Hall flag row were a factor in Belfast retailers losing more than | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
£50 million in the past year. This Belfast retailers losing more than | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
report from our business correspondent, Julian O'Neill. | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
Belfast had a Christmas nightmare which building to 2013. The chamber | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
of commerce held a summit today as Richard Haas attempts to broker a | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
of commerce held a summit today as deal on flags, parades and the past. | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
Away from here, he has been meeting business delegations who told him a | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
breakthrough can help the economy. We just ask of our political leaders | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
to be statesmen, to try to raise above some of the issues. If we | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
to be statesmen, to try to raise can, through the intervention of | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
Richard Haas, see light at the end of the tunnel, the business | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
Richard Haas, see light at the end community will do the rest. The | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
impact on trade is well rehearsed. But it has emerged retail revenue in | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
Belfast took a clobbering in the past 12 months. It dropped by almost | :06:57. | :07:06. | |
10%, that is a £55 million hit. Richard Haas was told some of that | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
is because of the flags. The riots and the roadblocks or only part of | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
the story, there were horrendous economic conditions on the High | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
Street last year anyway but retailers will tell you the flag | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
situation made a bad situation worse. Back in Belfast campaign | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
helped retrieve some lost revenue and visitors spent £7 million. But | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
the talks today, if successful, are set to offer the prospect of greater | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
rewards. The target is to create 50,000 jobs in the tourism sector | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
alone. People are nervous of investing and we have to have a | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
stable investment to grow the economy and that will help everyone. | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
The politicians are back with Richard Haas tomorrow and it is they | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
who face the hard job of settling festering problems. What business | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
pointed out today was the easy part. The Orange Order has denied it has | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
been infiltrated in North Belfast by the PUP and the UVF. The denial | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
follows claims made by Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness on a number of | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
occasions, including during his speech in Warrington last night. Our | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
political correspondent, Gareth Gordon, reports. | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
As the protest over the refusal of allowing Orangemen to walk a stretch | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
of the Crumlin Road continues, the PUP has been plagued, but Sinn Fein | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
has been claiming the relationship goes further than that. This | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
dangerous combination of the activities of the UVF, the PUP and | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
the Orange Order in North Belfast activities of the UVF, the PUP and | :08:45. | :08:53. | |
were there clearly indistinguishable -- indistinguishable and have | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
clearly been behind the problems. Last night, and Orangemen took to | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
clearly been behind the problems. Twitter to reject the barrel -- | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
rejected the allegations and after Twitter to reject the barrel -- | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
meeting the diplomat Richard Haas, leadership denied it was in league | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
meeting the diplomat Richard Haas, with anyone. We are being | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
infiltrated by no one. As an institution, we embrace people from | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
various shades of unionism and various shades of pastors -- of | :09:18. | :09:25. | |
Protestantism. But we take our own decisions and we stand by those and | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
support each other in those. The PUP in North Belfast say Sinn Fein is | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
support each other in those. The PUP trying to undermine them. Martin | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
McGuinness is absolutely wrong. The lies he is telling debases the | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
political office he holds and that is sad for the political | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
institutions. We are seeing a very clear agenda from Sinn Fein to try | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
to attack the PUP and the Orange Order. It is one more example of how | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
to attack the PUP and the Orange events on the streets of North | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
Belfast continue to affect the events on the streets of North | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
political process. You're watching BBC Newsline, still | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
to come on the programme: The violin that it is claimed was played on the | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
Titanic goes on display in Belfast. The PSNI is to hold a series of | :10:05. | :10:14. | |
events to encourage Catholics to apply for jobs as police officers. A | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
campaign was launched today to recruit 100 new officers, and there | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
are plans to employ nearly 400 more next year. It is the first | :10:21. | :10:29. | |
recruitment drive since the abolition of the 50-50 rule, which | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
meant half of all new officers had to be Catholics. Our home affairs | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
correspondent, Vincent Kearney, has the story. | :10:36. | :10:43. | |
It has been more than three years since the PSNI took new recruits | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
in. There are just under 7,000 officers but around 200 leave each | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
year because of retirement and other reasons. Within two years, the | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
number will fall to a level senior commanders say will make it | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
difficult for the PSNI to do its job. An internal review of future | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
needs say 7,000 is the bottom line. We need that to deliver a police | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
service to Northern Ireland, to keep people safe and deal with the rise | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
service to Northern Ireland, to keep in demand we have seen recently and | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
potential rises in future years. This is what the PSNI calls a surge | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
in demand. We swear in the firing line when violence erupted after an | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
Orange Order parade was stopped on the 12th of July. Hundreds of | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
officers from police forces in Britain were brought in as | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
reinforcements at a cost of more than £7 million. A campaign has been | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
launched to recruit 100 officers before the end of March next year | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
and the PSNI wants to recruit another 378 for the next financial | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
year. This is the first recruitment another 378 for the next financial | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
drive since the end of the 50-50 rule and their concerns in the PSNI | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
the of Catholic officers had declined during the next few years. | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
For that reason, it is launching a series of events to encourage | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
applications from Catholics as well as women and young people. The 50-50 | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
campaign was controversial but also very successful in attracting | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
Catholic applicants and we are now sitting at over 30% Catholic police | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
officers. We want to maintain and build on that success through this | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
engagement and outreach programme. New recruits will start on a salary | :12:22. | :12:31. | |
of just over £23,000. A court in Belfast has heard a woman | :12:31. | :12:45. | |
denied for the second day running she invented claims that her father | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
denied for the second day running raped and sexually assaulted her | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
more than thirty years ago. 40-year-old Aine Adams was giving | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
evidence at the trial of 58-year-old Liam Adams, of Bernagh Drive in West | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
Belfast. He denies ten charges Liam Adams, of Bernagh Drive in West | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
dating from the '70s and '80s. Ms Adams also told the court she had no | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
faith in the Police or the Police Ombudsman investigations into her | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
claims. We are in danger of becoming a | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
backwater when it comes to libel laws, according to a top newspaper | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
executive. Lord Black of Brentwood was speaking at the launch of a | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
private member's bill at Stormont. Here is our political editor, Mark | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
Devenport. Published, but do not necessarily be | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
dammed, that is the happy position for newspapers in England since a | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
new Westminster act reformed the law on libel, raising the threshold for | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
people wanting to go to court. But on libel, raising the threshold for | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
in Northern Ireland, the Stormont executive chose not to rubber-stamp | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
the new law. That could mean courts here will apply very different rules | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
to courts in London which will prove a big headache for Fleet Street | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
editors. They would have to produce sanitised copy, which means people | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
here would never get the full story about what was going on, or if the | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
worst came to the worst, which I hope it will not, they would have to | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
take the decision if they want to continue publishing here. Mike | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
Nesbitt, a former journalist, has brought forward a new bill that | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
would change the law here. It is important for Northern Ireland and | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
for universities and for our economy that we bring in modern laws that | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
acknowledge the fact there is something called the Internet. At | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
acknowledge the fact there is one celebrated libel lawyer scoffs | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
at the idea Fleet Street papers might boycott Northern Ireland. The | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
definition moors in Ireland are very similar to our current laws and it | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
has not stopped the Daily Mail, the Telegraph, various English | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
newspapers from distributing in Ireland, that is absolute nonsense | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
and there is no evidence to support that contention. A public are being | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
asked to submit their views on changing the libel law before the | :14:47. | :14:58. | |
end of November -- the public. And staying with politics, The View | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
is back for a new season tonight. Mark Carruthers will be discussing | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
the Haass talks with guests including the DUP and Sinn Fein. | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
That is on BBC One after the late news. | :15:08. | :15:08. | |
A violin which its claimed was news. | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
played onboard the Titanic has gone on display at Titanic Belfast. Out | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
of all the artefacts put on display at the exhibition centre, the | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
instrument has generated the most global interest. But some sceptics | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
have questioned if it really was on board the ship. BBC Newsline's | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
Mervyn Jess has the story. Many good tunes have been played on | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
an old violin but one instrument has a sour note among historians of the | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
Titanic. It surrounds voracity of the violin it is claimed was used to | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
play as the ship sank in the North Atlantic. And this is the instrument | :15:44. | :15:51. | |
of controversy. It has gone on public display at the Titanic centre | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
in Belfast where it has been the focus of close inspection and | :15:55. | :16:02. | |
debate. Just to look at this, and to believe it is the genuine article. | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
It is a fairy tale thing and you want it to be like that so you will | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
believe, I think. It is amazing it survived, how did it survive in that | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
sea water? How did it get to hear? The violin will go to public auction | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
next month and the centre 's management are in no doubt it is | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
genuine. The violin belonged to Wallace Hartley, the band leader, | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
and he was given the violin by his fiancee as a present. And he was | :16:32. | :16:40. | |
last seen cajoling and encouraging the people on board the Titanic, | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
trying to cheer them up as the tragic events unfolded. But some | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
historians here and further afield tragic events unfolded. But some | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
have cast doubt on whether this is tragic events unfolded. But some | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
the violin played by Wallace Hartley as the ship went down. Anybody who | :16:54. | :17:05. | |
is a Titanic fan, it is the hope, but there is no absolute proof or a | :17:05. | :17:11. | |
paper trail from our side of the water to your side of the water that | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
indicates it is indeed that violin. But there is nothing to disprove | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
that it is indeed that violin. Seven years after the violin was | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
discovered in an attic in Yorkshire, it will be up to collectors to | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
decide if a believe that days after the tragedy, it was plucked from the | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
Atlantic. And if so, how much they are prepared to bid for it. | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
Atlantic. And if so, how much they Still to come, why this outdoor | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
theatre production has been described as one of the most | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
ambitious projects in the UK City of Culture calendar. | :17:45. | :17:52. | |
One of our top athletes is agonising over his choice of venue for a | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
winter training camp. More on that shortly, but first, breaking news | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
from France and a certain Ulster rugby player. Mark Sidebottom is | :17:59. | :18:07. | |
here with the sport. We heard it last night that Ruan Pienaar might | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
be on the move. Yes, Ulster remain tight-lipped on | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
the matter, but the French sports daily L'Equipe are claiming tonight | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
that Ruan Pienaar has agreed to move to the Heineken Cup champions Toulon | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
at the end of this season. The South African international is due back at | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
Ulster at the beginning of next month, with his contract with the | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
province set to expire in June next year. L'Equipe tell us that the | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
World Cup winner will then be heading to France next season on a | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
two-year deal. It is a tough call for sprinter | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
Jason Smyth. The Eglinton man says he is "undecided" about whether to | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
return to Florida this winter to resume training under athletics | :18:44. | :18:45. | |
return to Florida this winter to coach Lance Brauman. Brauman leads | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
the training group which includes the US sprinter Tyson Gay, who | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
failed a doping test last July. Austin O'Callaghan has spent today | :18:51. | :18:58. | |
in Dublin with Jason Smyth. Jason Smyth was in Dublin city | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
centre to promote a new drive to attract more visually impaired | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
people into sport. His vision for the next step in his athletics | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
career is less clear. For the last couple of years, his winter training | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
base has been with the US sprinter Tyson Gay in Florida. But Tyson Gay | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
's positive test for it planned steroid casts doubt over whether he | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
should mix in that company any longer. In life, you can only be | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
sure about yourself and you can only know what you are doing or rocketing | :19:29. | :19:37. | |
into your body. So for me, I know everything about myself -- -- or | :19:37. | :19:43. | |
putting into your body. I know how I go about trying to be the best I can | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
be. And no matter what anybody does anywhere in the world, you cannot | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
worry about them because that is a distraction. You were never offered | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
anything? No, I have never been anywhere, I have never heard or seen | :19:58. | :20:05. | |
anything to do with that. Despite winning double Gold in France this | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
year, Smith -- Jason Smyth says persistent knee and back injuries | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
have hampered his form and the lack of commercial opportunities has also | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
affected morale. Being a Paralympic athlete has not got cheaper, he | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
says. That he is energised by the prospect of running in a Northern | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
says. That he is energised by the Ireland vest in the Commonwealth | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
claims in Glasgow. -- Commonwealth Games. We do not get the opportunity | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
often and winning -- missing the last one makes it more desirable to | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
have the opportunity to compete for Northern Ireland, that is something | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
I am looking forward to. He has been training in recent weeks at the | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
I am looking forward to. He has been University of Ulster and he plans to | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
spend time at home before finalising his winter plans. | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
One way or other, he will no doubt his winter plans. | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
feature at the Commonwealth Games. But that is not the case for this | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
man. Lisburn gymnast Luke Carson had told BBC Newsline that its very | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
probable he will never compete in the vault again. The Commonwealth | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
Games hopeful remains in hospital with a badly broken leg, sustained | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
during a recent training session. He has been speaking to us from his | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
bedside. If you days ago, he was tipped as a | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
medal prospect for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow -- a couple of days | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
ago. But his world has come tumbling down. A broken leg saw him miss out | :21:27. | :21:34. | |
on the London Olympics and after a long rehabilitation process, he was | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
back performing when this happened. I felt an horrific snap of my tibia | :21:39. | :21:46. | |
and I knew straightaway my leg had broken. The pain, I never saw | :21:46. | :21:53. | |
anything like it in my life. Where are you regarding your future? A | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
difficult question and I am really not sure, I am not sleeping, I am | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
just sitting up thinking about everything, Wayne got everything. I | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
am not sure whether it will be possible for me to do for fault | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
again. -- Wayne got. His tibia had broken in precisely the same ways as | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
previously. Only at a full consultation with medical experts | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
will Luke Carson decide if he will ever compete again. | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
We hope it is not all over for Luke ever compete again. | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
Carson, and we will have oxen for you. We will hear from Barry | :22:31. | :22:41. | |
McGuigan and Carl Frampton. It is one of the most ambitious | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
projects in the entire UK City of Culture Year, an open-air theatre | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
production which focuses on controversial events like the | :22:47. | :22:48. | |
Vietnam War, 9/11 and Bloody Sunday. controversial events like the | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
It is called the Conquest of Happiness and it opens in | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
Londonderry tomorrow night. Here is our North-West reporter, Keiron | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
Tourish. It is certainly not lacking in | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
ambition. A multinational cast has taken over this square for an | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
open-air performance which will examine conflicts like the Vietnam | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
war, was near and the Middle East. -- Bosnia. There is a strong local | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
dimension as well, the moment this Bloody Sunday Vic and was shot and | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
lost his life in 1972 is dramatically re-enacted. But there | :23:19. | :23:29. | |
is a poignant twist. In this drama, dramatically re-enacted. But there | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
Jackie does not pass away on the streets but goes on to marry a | :23:34. | :23:41. | |
beautiful bride. As a family, at certain times of the year, | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
Christmas, but days, weddings, we would talk about, what if Jackie had | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
lived? Would he have married? What would he be doing? It is a question | :23:51. | :23:59. | |
we ask ourselves and this play, they are answering a question for us. The | :23:59. | :24:06. | |
Conquest of Happiness draws its inspiration from world renowned | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
pacifist Bertrand Russell who wrote the book in 1930. The Bosnian | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
director says his message is as relevant in 2013. Bertrand Russell | :24:19. | :24:25. | |
's words of wisdom, but also bravery, and a moral stand and | :24:25. | :24:33. | |
ethical voice that he had and still has and I think without ship -- | :24:33. | :24:40. | |
without doubt, he speaks to our time. | :24:40. | :24:49. | |
One leading Northern Ireland composer admits it is a challenging | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
production. I have never done anything on this kind of scale, of | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
this size, outdoors. The chorus that we have, three choirs from Derry, | :25:02. | :25:08. | |
ten actors, it is a massive scale, massive undertaking. Unusually in | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
this the epochal performance, the audience is in the Open air and | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
amongst the actors. The intention is you become immersed in the drama | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
around you. Let's hope the weather improves. | :25:20. | :25:29. | |
Let's find out now. It just might. What a difference a | :25:29. | :25:30. | |
day makes. After the rain last night, it is a | :25:30. | :25:39. | |
clearer picture this evening. The chance of a shower here or there but | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
much better than last night. Temperatures tonight down to around | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
seven degrees. This is what we had last night, rain coming in over. At | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
4am, wide awake, could not get back to sleep as that rain hammered down. | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
As we head into tomorrow, it is a much better day. Dry and right. Just | :25:59. | :26:06. | |
about everywhere. This is the picture tomorrow morning. -- dry and | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
right. Occasional showers, but a dry picture everywhere. And some breaks | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
in the cloud. That will help temperatures. Highs of 15, 16, | :26:16. | :26:23. | |
through the day on Friday. Not a bad day. And into the evening, it is a | :26:23. | :26:31. | |
quiet Friday night weather-wise. Temperatures will be a bit warmer, | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
ten, 11 degrees. We have more cloud on the way wrote in by the tail end | :26:36. | :26:43. | |
of this tropical storm -- brought in. The chance of some rain for | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
Saturday. But the upside is we have this warmer air. Temperatures of | :26:49. | :26:57. | |
around 17 degrees. That is not bad for the middle of September. As we | :26:57. | :27:04. | |
head into the weekend, the trend of temperatures being on the rise will | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
continue. Into Sunday, you can see plenty of cloud around. But where we | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
get wakes in that cloud, temperatures could be on the rise -- | :27:13. | :27:20. | |
breaks. Up to 20 on Sunday, very pleasant for the middle of | :27:20. | :27:21. | |
September. We will take that! You pleasant for the middle of | :27:21. | :27:27. | |
can stay up-to-date on Twitter. We will have any updates on there. | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
Something to look forward to. Our late summary is at 10:25. You can | :27:33. | :27:35. | |
