looks back at his life and career. Rik | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
There's to be a new round of political talks aimed | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
at resolving problems linked to the past, flags and parading. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
The five main parties will meet for two sessions being organised by the | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
Agreement eluded the former talks chairman Richard Haass at Christmas | :00:19. | :00:30. | |
but now the parties are set to intensify their own efforts in | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
23-day sessions. Agreeing a way forward on the flags, parades and | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
dealing with Northern Ireland's troubled past represents a | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
formidable challenge. Time is short with a marching challenge -- the | :00:45. | :00:53. | |
marching season underway. The Irish and British governments are saying | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
closely engaged and providing support. Sinn Fein say they have | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
already compromised during the Richard Haass negotiations and are | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
now looking for unionists to do the same. Here we are faced in a | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
position as a result of the party leaders meeting last week where we | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
have agreed that there will now be an intensive period of talks in what | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
is clearly a very limited window of opportunity up until the first | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
couple of days of July. But not for the first time, the mood music seems | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
to be discordant. I don't think there is much sign of momentum if | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
you look at the way Sinn Fein have been behaving in the last couple of | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
days. They refused to talk to the Westminster committee about the On | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
the Runs, they have been protesting about a parade in Dungiven where | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
there are no Flieds or bands or music or anything. If there is going | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
to be a new sense of momentum, it has to be realistic. The Ulster | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
Unionist 's will send a delegation but insist they will not engage in | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
negotiations about the legacy of the troubles until I have seen the | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
outcome of the review on the On the Runs. Talks are expected to be held | :02:05. | :02:05. | |
before the end of this month. A community has been expressing its | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
grief after the farm accident that claimed the life of eight-year-old | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
Robert Christie. His father, Bertie, was critically injured after they | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
were overcome by slurry fumes while helping an elderly neighbour | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
on Saturday. The dangers of farming life were | :02:19. | :02:30. | |
once again thrown into focus when the emergency services arrived at | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
this farm on Saturday. They were called after a postman discovered a | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
father and son unconscious. Poisoned by lethal slurry gases. The age old | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
boy was Robert Christie, he had come here with his father, 30, who was | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
helping the elderly farm owner. Slurry was being mixed when they | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
were overcome by the fumes. Robert was airlifted to hospital but he | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
could not be revived. His father remains critical. Totally | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
devastated, heartbreaking news. The whole community is just numb. You | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
feel for the farmers in a rock amenity like this where everybody | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
else knows everybody else. The whole farming community very much our | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
blue. This morning a special assembly to players at this small | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
school where Robert was in the p for class. Staff say a huge hole has | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
been left by the tragic death. Robert was a well loved member of | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
the school family. Very, very gentle natured, he made friends quite | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
easily and would have shared his time with others and he was very | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
popular. His loss is going to have a huge impact on his friends, his | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
classmates, the staff and the wider school family. A funeral service for | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
the age old is due to take place tomorrow. This latest forming a | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
tragedy is a reminder of the dangers of working with slurry. At this time | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
of year, farmers want to get that slurry out onto the land so they | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
have to mix the slurry and this is where the gases come from. The | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
message we want to get out is that once you start mixing slurry, get it | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
out immediately. There have been 24th at our seas on farms here in | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
the last three years but no slurry related deaths since September 2012 | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
when Ulster rugby player Nevins Spencer died with his father and | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
brother at their farm near Hillsborough. The Health and Safety | :04:30. | :04:34. | |

tragic accident. It says it will continue to explore ways to prevent | :04:39. | :04:39. | |
future farm that allergies. The police are treating an assault | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
on a 36-year-old man in West Belfast He was attacked in the Slieve Dubh | :04:46. | :04:49. | |

Thomas Mallon from Rathmore Road and charged with membership of a | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
prescribed membership, namely the IRA will stop he is also accused of | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
directing a terrorist organisation. Police believe they intercepted a | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
letter from a prescribed organisation to its prisoners in | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
Maghaberry prison last Thursday and Thomas was the author. It was | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
written on cigarette papers. It was found during a search of a man | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
visiting Maghaberry prison and described in court as the studio. | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
Police say after he left, he was later seen speaking to Thomas near | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
Maghera. These are trying to locate him. The prosecution claimed there | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
was DNA and handwriting evidence ending Thomas to the offences. At | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
one point in the letter, it states, I will not allow any jewel Army | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
operating along with the IRA and us not knowing anything about it. There | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
was also an instruction, tell the POWs not to engage in loose talk. A | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
defence by described the letter as a round and said the charge of | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
directing terrorism did not stand up. He said there were | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
instructions or orders being given. A detective comes to said the police | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
would impose bail on a number of grounds. The detective comes to said | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
the PSNI believed that Thomas was a prominent member of the IRA. If | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
released from custody, he would continue in that role. Thomas was | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
remanded in custody until the 3rd of July. As he was being taken from the | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
court, there was clapping and cheering from family and friends. | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
A man arrested in connection with the murder | :07:29. | :07:32. | |

69-year-old Margaret Evans, was a well known businesswoman | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
She was killed at her home on Wednesday. | :07:40. | :07:49. | |
Looking ahead to tomorrow evening's BBC Newsline, we'll have the first | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
of two reports from our Education Correspondent Maggie Taggart on | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
15 different groups have submitted bids for facilities, | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
to be shared between Catholic and Protestant pupils. | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
As they wait for decisions, we look at the range of ideas from | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
I would be very helpful but I think that we should be realistic that | :08:07. | :08:20. | |
there are a lot of good bits in there as well. | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
That's on tomorrow's programme at 6:30 here on BBC One. | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
Many areas seeing dry weather for a time tonight before the next batch | :08:26. | :08:41. | |
of weather coming in from the south. Not especially cold tonight with | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
temperatures at 11 degrees. The scattered showers will be with us as | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
we go into tomorrow and unlike today, tomorrow's thundery showers | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
could affect almost anywhere. Some heavy downpours for the rush hour | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
which could cause problems on the roads. They will continue to come | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
and go throughout the day. The best start to tomorrow will be across | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
England and Wales have plenty of dry, bright and sunny weather. Quite | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
an unsettled day for Scotland with some heavy and Bantry downpours as | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
well. I'd across Ireland tomorrow, along with spells of sunshine, there | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
will be a scattering of showers. Some will be thundery and there may | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
be some hail extent as well. It will not be raining all day, in between | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
the showers, there will be some spells of sunshine. Some of the | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
reinsurers will be slow to move and it could cause problems on the | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
roads. In the sunshine, temperatures reaching 17 degrees. Very unsettled | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
tomorrow but a much better day on Wednesday. Towards the end of the | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
week, more unsettled weather is on the way. | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
That's all from us, good | :10:02. | :10:02. |
