they've still got a long way to go. That's all from us. | :00:00. | :00:18. | |
Good evening. People with eating disorders have claimed that the | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
treatment they have received here has been second rate. One woman has | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
told BBC Newsline that she received electric shock treatment for | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
depression associated with her illness. More than 300 adults and | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
109 children were treated for eating disorders here last year, as Tara | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
Mills reports. Two | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
Amanda Gibson has spent 20 years living with bulimia, 18 months ago | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
she decided she had enough and decided to get treatment. She spent | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
three months in a treatment hospital. Amanda and her sister both | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
say they were surprised that the treatment she was given. Most days I | :00:54. | :01:02. | |
just sat on the bed or walked around the Ward, because there was not much | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
to do. Next, she was given electric shock | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
therapy, or ECT, 12 sessions in six weeks. | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
My memory was very bad. I had forgotten things like where I | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
lived, I had to ask my mum when I lived, I forgot my last house and | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
how old I am. There are concerns about children | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
with eating disorders. One father whose daughter is now being treated | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
in London told us the care she received at the Beachcroft unit in | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
south Belfast is completely different than the regime in | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
England. A complete ban on any kind of exercise, any kind of fresh air, | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
any kind of home visit. She was really kept inside for two | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
or three months. The health and social care board say | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
they are working to improve the service. Even if we had a local | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
specialist unit we may still have to send people across the water because | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
of those unique and conflict situations, but I accept it would be | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
ideal if we had in due course a regional specialist unit and we are | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
thinking about it. Families will hope that will happen | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
sooner rather than later. Two men - including a soldier in the | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
Royal Irish Regiment - who were charged with murder - have admitted | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
unlawfully killing a man in Armagh. Lee Smyth never regained | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
consciousness after the attack four years ago. Gordon Adair reports. | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
23-year-old soldier Michael Wilson, who is from the game and Gareth | :02:35. | :02:47. | |
McAuley from -- Gareth McKinney from Portadown were originally charged in | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
2010. The pair beat Lee Smyth that a police officer described him as | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
unrecognisable. Lee Smyth never regained consciousness, spending two | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
years in a nursing home before his life-support machine was switched | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
off. Today as the trial here was about to go into its second day, | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
lawyers for the two men asked for them to be rearranged. Again, they | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
pleaded not guilty to murder but pleaded guilty to manslaughter. | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
Prosecuting lawyer said that in the interests of justice he would accept | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
their plea to the lesser charge. The judge then instructed the jury here | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
to find them not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter by way of | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
confession. They will be sentenced at a later date. | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
The Ulster Unionist minister Danny Kennedy says his party wants Richard | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
Haass to clarify his remarks that violence could re-emerge in Northern | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
Ireland. Speaking in Washington, Mr Kennedy | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
said that they wanted to know how the former US diplomat, who chaired | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
months of talks on parading, flags and the past, had reached that | :03:49. | :03:57. | |
conclusion. We were interested in that comment, | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
and clearly I would like to perhaps pursue with Dr Haass who made that | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
comment to him, or whether or not he had gained that by his own | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
instincts, but certainly if Republicans were in some way trying | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
to bully either Dr Haass or others involved in that process by using | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
that thinly veiled threat, I think that is a huge mistake. | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
It has been revealed that the final bill for hearing loss claims by | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
former RUC officers could be almost ?250 million. | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
More than ?135 million has already been paid-out to settle over 8,500 | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
claims. Our Home Affairs Correspondent, Vincent Kearney, | :04:35. | :04:35. | |
reports. The RUC knew from the mid-1960s that | :04:36. | :04:46. | |
officers engaged in firearms training should have been provided | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
with proper ear protection. But they were not issued with adequate | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
equipment like this for 30 years. It was a costly mistake. The BBC | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
revealed two months ago that up to the end of November last year more | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
than ?135 million was paid out to settle hearing loss claims by over | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
8500 former police officers. More than 2000 claims have still to be | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
settled and David Ford has revealed the estimated cost of doing so over | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
the next five years. The bill for the next two years will be over 27 | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
million and more than 49 million during the following three. The | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
total estimated five-year cost is more than ?103 million. That will | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
bring total payments to just under ?239 million with nearly half on | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
legal fees. Legal sources say they expect a significant numbers of new | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
claims to be lodged. The Justice Minister was questioned on the issue | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
in the Assembly yesterday. Is the Minister aware of a growing level of | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
frustration at the cost of this to the public purse? | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
It is an operational issue for the chief constable administered by the | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
PSNI and not their apartment of justice. | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
As it is an operational issue responsibility lies with the chief | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
constable. More than 20,000 RUC officers are | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
believed to have undergone firearms training using inadequate ear | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
protection, and so far more than 11,000 have lodged claims. These | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
compensation payments come on top of the redundancy scheme for police | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
officers that cost around ?500 million. | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
That means the combined bill for compensating officers for early | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
retirement and hearing loss could be around 750 million. | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
A soldier has been remanded in custody charged with murdering a | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
Royal Irish Regiment soldier at his base in England. Lance Corporal | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
Richard Farrell appeared in court this morning, accused of killing | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
Corporal Geoffrey McNeill, from Ballymoney, at the weekend. The | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
32-year-old was found dead at Clive Barracks in Shropshire on Saturday. | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
The mental health charity that has been told it has to leave the coffee | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
shop it runs at Hillsbrough Castle, is refusing to move. Campaigners | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
trying to save the coffee shop, held a small protest outside the castle | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
earlier today. Praxis says it's spent four hundred thousand pounds | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
developing the garden and coffee shop, but the NIO has turned down a | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
request for compensation. The running of the Castle is being taken | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
over by Historic Royal Palaces who want to re-develop the grounds in a | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
bid to increase visitor numbers. However the charity says it has | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
"nowhere to go". The Secretary of State has said that | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
she really wants is to leave within four weeks, and we have said to her | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
that we have absolutely no matter moved to. We have also said to her | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
that the 16 learning disabled people who depend on this site for their | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
jobs are very distressed at this point in time. | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
In a statement, the NIO and Historic Royal Palaces said that Praxis had | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
more than a year's notice that they would have to move and that the | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
terms of its licence made clear that it could not be compensated. | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
And now for a look ahead to some of our news programming tomorrow. | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
Figures show one in ten adolescents here self harms and Good Morning | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
Ulster hears from two people about why they do it, their efforts to | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
stop and who try to help them. That's from 6:30pm tomorrow. | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
And now on to the weather forecast with Geoff Maskell. | :08:22. | :08:30. | |
Wasn't that a fantastic day? Tomorrow is promising to be almost | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
as good. Clear skies this evening mean temperature dropped off sharply | :08:38. | :08:49. | |
tonight so -- then the cloud cover later on in the night. Tomorrow is | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
looking not bad day, dry and mild everywhere but we have a little more | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
cloud around than today. Still, it will not be bad, plenty of bright | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
spells breaking through and temperatures up to the mid-teens. | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
That is really reflected across the UK and Ireland, only the West coast | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
of Scotland missing out. They are getting strong winds and breezes. | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
Elsewhere the temperature is looking really respectable for this time of | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
year, well into double figures. If you are lucky enough to be heading | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
to Cheltenham Festival it will be a nice day, around 12 Celsius with a | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
light breeze. For us in Northern Ireland, not a bad afternoon, plenty | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
of bright and sunny spells at temperatures up around 12 or 13 | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
degrees. The high pressure is very much in charge of our weather over | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
the next few days. We have some weak fronts coming through and that means | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
we will have a little bit of rain coming through in the West on | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
Friday, generally not a bad day at all. Towards the weekend, that | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
lovely settled quality looks set to be with us right through until next | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
week. That is it for now, from BBC Newsline, enjoy the rest of your | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
evening. Good night. | :10:02. | :10:10. | |
can't just magically appear from nowhere, out of thin air. | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
Can it? Why have I got the lurking suspicion that we're not | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
looking at a gift here but some kind of message? | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
Brand-new Jonathan Creek continues... | :10:25. | :10:27. |
