a first look at the papers over on the BBC News Channel. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The police Ombudsman is investigating whether the PSNI acted | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
on information it was given - before a dissident republican bomb attack | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
that seriously injured Constable Padar Heffron four years ago. | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
Michael Maguire wants to find out if there was appropriate action | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
after the tip-off, but so far the police haven't allowed | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Our Home Affairs Correspondent Vincent Kearney reports. | :00:27. | :00:37. | |
The As captain of the PSNI's football team, Padar Heffron, seen | :00:38. | :00:46. | |
here on the left, was a high-profile target for dissident republicans | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
aiming to deter Catholics from joining the police. Three and a half | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
years ago, he was critically injured, when a bomb exploded in his | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
car, as he was travelling to work. The police received a tip-off, | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
claiming that weeks before the bombing, someone had warned the PSNI | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
of a potential attack on a police officer. We don't know the nature of | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
the information. It may be that it was so general or lacking in | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
information that nothing could have been done to minimise the risk. The | :01:18. | :01:25. | |
police ombudsman isn't any position to reach any conclusions. In effect, | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
he is no whiter than the rest of us. The police have also refused to give | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
information to ombudsman investigators probing the death of | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
senior Sinn Fein official Denis Donaldson, who was also the police | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
and MI5 informant. He was shot dead in Donegal in April 2006. He fled | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
there, after being told by police that the media were going to expose | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
his role as an informant. They are investigating investigations by his | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
family that PSNI officers may have exposed him as an agent and | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
contributed to his death. Yesterday, Michael McGuire told the | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
BBC that his office is legally entitled to this information. This | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
gets to the core of independence, it gets to the core of accountability. | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
We cannot have the situation, where those are the subject of an | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
investigation, determine what information is given to the | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
investigation. The PSNI says it has an legal responsibility for all the | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
information that it with holes, and it cannot release the information if | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
it could potentially endanger life. But they all have top-level security | :02:35. | :02:43. | |
clearance. That means they can have access to sensitive intelligence | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
material. Make a liar says that, because of that, the PSNI has no | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
legitimate reason to withhold the information that he has asked for. | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
The judge says he hopes it is not too late for the two sides to come | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
to an agreement. It is really important that they both get | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
together and start to resolve these issues, rather than having to have | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
the judge decide for them. A consolatory letter has gone back | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
from the police to the ombudsman. We hope that means the discussion will | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
happen. The PSNI will be questioned tomorrow. | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
A man has been arrested following the death of a woman in Portstewart. | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
Her body was found at around lunchtime in Knockancor Drive. | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
The victim has been named locally as Margaret Evans, a well-known | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
Officers say they are investigating the circumstances surrounding | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
The Orange Order has again been told it can't parade along | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
a contentious stretch of the Crumlin Road past Ardoyne in north Belfast. | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
The Order had applied to the Parades Commission to walk along | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
In a statement the Orange Order said it was | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
The Orangemen have been trying to complete their parade copy Crumlin | :03:53. | :04:06. | |
Road to their whole since last year. Today's decision, once again | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
stopping them from doing that, came as little surprise to most people. | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
The parade commission's decision means they will not get this far up | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
the road. They will be stopped some distance back down there. Which | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
means that the actual parade itself cannot come up past Ardoyne shops, | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
or up this road onto the Orange Hall. Meanwhile, the loyalist | :04:30. | :04:38. | |
protest camp continues. The Parades Commission stressed the level of | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
tension filled in the area, since last year's march was stopped and | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
the protest camp was set up. The commission says the sense of | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
conflict centred on the stretch of road is wrong and apparent amongst | :04:51. | :04:59. | |
supporters and objectors. It also noted the level of breaches of | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
conditions in support of the Orangemen. We are disgusted. We are | :05:04. | :05:13. | |
saddened. That the threat of extremism can stop us and our | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
religious expression. These thing -- these things can be resolved if | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
there is the urge to resolve it on both sides. I hope we can resolve | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
it. I hope we can get beyond this. Getting beyond that is something | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
mediators have been seeking, so far without success. | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
The Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness says political | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
and religious leaders here must make it clear that racist abuse | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
and hate crimes will not be tolerated in Northern Ireland. | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
Mr McGuinness was speaking earlier this evening after meeting with | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
local Muslim leaders at the Belfast Islamic centre in Belfast. | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
Last night, the first minister Peter Robinson used his visit to | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
the centre to apologise publicly for controversial remarks he made | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
about Islam last week defending a Belfast pastor who had called | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
I am here out of a sense of duty, out of a sense of responsibility, to | :06:02. | :06:14. | |
honour as a political leader, but to this community who have been treated | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
disgracefully. Tonight is about looking to the future. Peter Kinnear | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
last night, and he offered his apology, and that apology has been | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
accepted. It is now time for us to move on, and it is a time for us | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
to, as a government, identify what more we can do to ensure the comfort | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
and safety of the ethnic minorities here in Belfast. | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
A former head of the team of detectives set up to investigate | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
unsolved killings - says he believes the Hyde Park bomb suspect | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
Dave Cox, who stepped down from the Historical Enquiries Team last year, | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
was giving evidence to a Westminster committee of MPs - investigating | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
the Government's scheme for dealing with so-called on the runs. | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
The scheme only came to light when the trial of Mr Downey for | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
the 1982 bombing was halted - when it was revealed he had mistakenly | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
received a letter saying he was not wanted by any UK police force. | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
In your opinion, has Mr Downey, in both the EDR murders and the Hyde | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
Park murders, in your opinion has he been very lucky and got away with | :07:21. | :07:28. | |
murder? I might ask him what lottery numbers he picks. | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
Friday marks the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy - | :07:33. | :07:41. | |
an important battle in France during World War Two. | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
On tomorrow and Friday evening's programme, Donna talks to two of | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
the few local veterans still alive to recall the events of that day. | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
Tomorrow we hear from Bill Eames who is 91 years old. | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
He was an RAF pilot and honoured for his gallantry. | :07:56. | :08:11. | |
Do you need to be a particular type of person? I don't think so. I don't | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
think I was any better than anybody else. You are just lucky, that is | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
the thing. More on that interview tomorrow | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
at 6.30pm here on BBC One. Now with the weather forecast | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
here's Geoff Maskell. Hello. As we go over night tonight, | :08:27. | :08:38. | |
it is a cool and cloudy night. By dawn tomorrow, we could see a bit of | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
rain. That is the edge of a low pressure system that is tracking its | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
way up the British Isles. It was there today, and it is continuing | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
into tomorrow. It will be a cloudy day across Northern Ireland, with | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
the few showers. There will be more in the way of bright spells, and | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
that will help the temperatures on the rise, feeling just a little bit | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
warmer tomorrow than it has than today. We really are in the middle | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
of a couple of whether events, between these two when systems, over | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
the next 24 hours. This means we will see some better conditions, but | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
some real mixed fortunes across the UK. Scotland will get plenty of | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
rain, as will the East Coast of England. Elsewhere, a much brighter | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
and warmer picture. As we go through the afternoon, we will see the odd | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
shower popping up, some of those quite intense, but much more in the | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
way of bright weather. As we head into Friday, we are really waiting | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
for the next low-pressure system to arrive. We will escape in the main, | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
and exhibitors will feel warmer. Not a bad day, before the rain starts to | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
work its way in. Overnight Friday and into Saturday. The message is to | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
make the most of the next couple of days, because more rain is forecast | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
for the weekend. That is all for now. Goodbye. | :10:02. | :10:02. |
