Joe Wilson reports. That's all from | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The Police Ombudsman is taking the Chief Constable to court | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
and has accused him of obstructing investigations into allegations | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
Michael Maguire is taking the unprecedented legal action to | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
try to force Matt Baggott to hand over sensitive intelligence | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
material, including details about police informers. | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
The killings include those carried out by the UVF in Loughinisland | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
and the IRA murder of a police officer in Newry. | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
Our Home Affairs Correspondent Vincent Kearney | :00:38. | :00:38. | |
Six men, all Catholics, murdered in a bar as they watched a World Cup | :00:39. | :00:53. | |
game. It remains one of the worst atrocities of the Troubles. Today it | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
is at the centre of claims that police haven't told everything they | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
know about it and other kills. The claims from the police ombudsman. He | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
has put pressure on the police to disclose everything that is know | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
about the killings. One suggestion is that the RUC didn't conduct a | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
full investigation, because they were protecting an informer and | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
because there was collusion between some officers and the killers. As in | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
many of the cases, no one has been convicted. A report by a previous | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
ombudsman concluded the RUC failed to properly investigate what | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
happened here. But said there was insufficient evidence of collusion. | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
Those findings were quashed after a legal challenge by relatives of | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
those killed. Now there is a fresh investigation and the Chief | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
Constable is accused of obstructing him by refusing to hand over | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
intelligence material the ombudsman said is essential for him to do his | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
job. The ombudsman saids the Chief Constable is making it impossible | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
for his office to investigate serious allegations of criminal | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
activity and misconduct by police officers. We are talking about | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
complex investigations into over 60 murders, where there have been | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
allegations of police criminality and misconduct, the fact they may | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
have been protecting individualed involved and appsing those questions | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
requires -- answering those questions requires access to | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
material. I need access that to come to a view to meet the allegations. | :02:39. | :02:49. | |
He - He has launched a legal action. The police ombudsman office does not | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
do investigations by negotiation. This is fundamental to the | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
independence of the office and the requirement for me to undertake a | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
clear and independent investigation. We cannot have a situation where | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
those sungt to investigation will determine what information is given | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
to the investigators. The Chief Constable is accused of blocking | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
including incidents where police officers have been killed. There has | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
been claims that Special Branch had been claims that Special Branch had | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
advance warning about one attack. Other kafss are more recent and -- | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
advance warning about one attack. cased are more recent and involve | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
the PSNI. In a statement the PSNI said it had responded appropriaty to | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
each -- appropriately to each request. | :03:51. | :04:00. | |
A Sinn Fein councillor Tommy Casey was murdered by UVF gunmen | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
His family say they want to see his killers brought to justice. | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
Obviously somebody does know something, somebody is hiding | :04:08. | :04:16. | |
something. And RUC now PSNI, somebody in their ranks know | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
could be one of reasons why they're could be one of reasons why they're | :04:23. | :04:23. | |
the end and gets what he needs. Peter Robinson and members | :04:24. | :04:44. | |
of the Muslim community said they wanted to draw a line under | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
the controversy and move on. Our political correspondent, | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
Martina Purdy reports. The First Minister and junior | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
minister were greeted by one of the leading Muslims in Northern Ireland. | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
There were smiles, despite the leading Muslims in Northern Ireland. | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
controversy over this visit and even flowers, a symbol of friendship. In | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
the Sen term it was standing room only and outside the media gathered. | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
Was Peter Robinson going to apologise over remarks he made about | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
Muslims? I know many of you have, as the press often do, centre on an | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
issue of an apology. I apologise to these gentlemen if anything I said | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
had caused them hurt and I can see that in many cases it has. I | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
apologise to them, you say in private. I say I apologise to them | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
face to face personally, man-to-man, the way it should be done. And I | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
told people inside that a lot of people seem to think that sorry is a | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
difficult word to use. I have to say that whether it is because of my | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
background or my mischievous childhood, I have been used to | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
saying it. I don't find it a difficult word to use and I made it | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
very clear to the people present tonight that I apologise for any | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
offence that I might have caused and I made it very clear to them that | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
the last thing that I would have on my mind would be to cause any one | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
hurt or difference tress or to insult them. And I make that | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
publicly clear in the clearest possible terms. We are very | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
satisfied that he came here and I think it will go a long way to build | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
relations. That is what is important. We need to work to build | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
community relations and to work together to bring racial equality | :06:37. | :06:45. | |
policy and we need to look at what ethnic minorities are doing for | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
Northern Ireland. The First Minister will be hoping tonight's apology | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
will end this controversy, but his critics might not be so quick to let | :06:55. | :07:03. | |
it go. The SDLP leader said he wanted the standards committee to | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
investigate whether he the code of conduct had been breeched. | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
The Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness has welcomed | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
Mr Robinson's public apology, saying it was the right thing to do. | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
He urged Pastor McConnell to now publicly withdraw his comments. | :07:19. | :07:21. | |

And in Newry, 68-year-old Wilfred Vaughan Chambers died following a | :07:29. | :07:32. | |

The 28-year-old played over 150 times for Ulster and Ireland, | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
It has all happened sud ply. - Sudeley. It wasn't long I was here | :07:56. | :08:13. | |
thinking I would play for three or four years. It is tough to take, but | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
I have loved every minute. Paddy Wallace said for any young guy | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
coming through, don't underestimate the journey you will go on. The | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
journey I have been on is one I will remember. | :08:29. | :08:42. | |

But it will be a mixture of sunshine and showers. That wet weather around | :09:06. | :09:15. | |

and even here some scattered showers. Most of wet weather will be | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
confined to Britain. A lot of rain and cloud and that will hold back | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
the temperatures to between the mid to low teens. For Northern Ireland | :09:39. | :09:42. | |

threat of some wet weather. This a it from BBC Newsline. Have a good | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
night. | :10:20. | :10:21. |
