Hello and welcome to BBC Newsline. the London Mayor, Boris Johnson. | :00:07. | :00:07. | |
A man originally from Nigeria has said he will not be | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
moving in to a Housing Executive property in east Belfast, | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
Banners with the words ?local homes for local people? | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
were hung on the gate of the house in the Garnerville area. | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
As BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson now reports police removed the banners | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
This man has been living in Northern Ireland for four years. He was | :00:26. | :00:37. | |
allocated a housing executive property in east Belfast. But the | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
house he was hoping to move into was covered in protest poster. Local | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
houses for local people was written on one of the banners. It's about | :00:48. | :00:57. | |
discrimination and intimidation and racism. It speaks for itself. The | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
banner they have placed there, local housing for local people. It is just | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
shameful this is happening in this era. Michael has a three-year-old | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
son who lives with him during part of the week. The protesters said | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
their opposition to the family was nothing to do with the colour of | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
their skin. They said the house should have gone to pensioners or | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
the disabled. The protesters only agreed to speak on television if | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
their faces were not shown. It is a mixed community. We do not have no | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
racism up here. Why does nobody want to appear on camera? Now we are | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
being called racist, which we are horrified. We are embarrassed about | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
it. We are not racist. This is about a bung allow ekiped for pensioners | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
and they cannot put families into them. As we were filming, the police | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
arrived and removed the banners from them. As we were filming, the police | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
around the house. One by one they were taken away and the street is | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
now back to normal. But it is too late for Michael. He was supposed to | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
move into the house this week. Now he says he doesn't know where he is | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
going to stay. But he wants to remain in Belfast. I have received | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
loads of text messages on Facebook as well and supporting me and they | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
condemned that act. That is enough for me to realise Belfast is not | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
bad. It seems this was not an isolated incident. Tonight the | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
housing executive said there had been more than ten cases in South | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
and East Belfast where people couldn't move into the house they | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
had been allocated. The First Minister Peter Robinson | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
said he doesn't think the protest He was speaking to our political | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
editor Mark Devenport. I'm not sure this can be described | :02:49. | :03:00. | |
as racism in term of what the intention of people was. There is | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
concern and local in these terms means very local. You might have had | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
the same reaction if it was somebody from up country moving into an area | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
where local people can't get houses. So really. Do you really think that | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
would have been the case if they had seen somebody with a white face | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
moving in. I know it has happened elsewhere. There is people who have | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
been brought up and raised and lived in housing estates all of their | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
lives, their children grow up in the area and they cannot get them | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
housed. So there is that resentment. Exactly 20 years ago today, | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
six Catholic men were shot dead by the UVF as they watched a World | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
Cup game at a pub in Loughinisland. Their relatives have reacted angrily | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
to a fresh appeal for information They've accused the PSNI | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
of hypocrisy for making the appeal - just two weeks after the Chief | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
Constable was accused of withholding Our Home Affairs Correspondent | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
Vincent Kearney reports. It should have been a night of | :04:00. | :04:16. | |
celebration. It goes for the shot. Ray Houghton! Shortly after goal | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
that beat Italy and secured the greatest victory in the republic's | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
history, within seconds men who had been watching the match had been | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
shot dead. A survivor has written about the attack and today Colin | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
read an extract describing how his best friend's father saved his life. | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
We are being hit, I shouted. He throws himself on top of me to save | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
me from the bullets. I'm falling back now. Off my stool. And again I | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
glimpse temperatures two boiler suits at the -- glimpse the the two | :05:00. | :05:11. | |
boiler suits at the door. I assumed they're bull elts, but I feel no | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
pain. I have nothing to compare this to. He is lying on me now. | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
Completely still. Too still, I think. I slide out from under him. | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
There are no moans, no breathing. Just silence. No one has ever been | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
convicted of the murders. 20 years on, the PSNI appeal ed to anyone | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
with information that could help catch the killers to come forward. | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
But a solicitor for the families said they're angry because evidence | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
provided at the time was destroyed. Thits This was a case the public did | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
provided at the time was destroyed. assist within hours the getaway car | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
was found by a member of the public. Within weeks all of the exhibits in | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
the case, the guns, Within weeks all of the exhibits in | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
the boiler suits, the gloves were all found by | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
the boiler suits, the gloves were securing that evidence, the police | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
set about destroying that evidence. The families have criticised the | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
PSNI for refusing to give the police ombudsman information about the | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
attack. Michael Maguire is investigating allegations that the | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
killings were not properly investigated, because an informer | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
was being protected. He is taking the Chief Constable to court in an | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
attempt to force him to hand over information he says his | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
investigators need. It is understood the two sides are engaged in | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
discussions about the issue. Meanwhile, tonight in Loughinisland | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
there was an anniversary mass for the six men who died followed | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
by a procession by relatives, other victims and friends. | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
They walked to the Heights Bar, where the shooting took place | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
and held a vigil The chairman of the | :06:54. | :07:03. | |
Historical Institutional Abuse The inquiry is examining allegations | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
of abuse in institutions run by the church, state or charities | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
between 1922 and 1995. If the extension is granted, | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
the inquiry's report will be given Campaigners say that's | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
too long to wait. If they need that extra year, change | :07:17. | :07:42. | |
the terms of reference and set up a redress board now for us victims. | :07:43. | :07:43. | |
There is enough evidence there through the acknowledgement form and | :07:44. | :07:44. | |
I'm sure they could study the report right up-to-date and find out | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
where... Who the onus is on for the neglect and abuse we suffered. | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
Rory McIlroy says he intends to play for Ireland at the Olympic Games | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
The 25-year-old from Holywood was eligible to play for Great Britain | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
or Ireland and his choice had been the subject of ongoing speculation. | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
He was speaking in County Cork ahead of this week's Irish Open. | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
I'm a product of Northern Ireland and you know we have the British | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
school system and we pay for everything in sterling. So there is | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
obviously parts of me that feel a bit that way. But I have always | :08:19. | :08:28. | |
grown up wanting to play for Ireland. Whether, it is not golf, | :08:29. | :08:43. | |
rugby, cricket, hockey, they all view Ireland as one. Obviously I'm | :08:44. | :09:11. | |
close to a lot of the Ulster boys and all they want to do is get in | :09:12. | :09:32. | |
the Ireland team and they're proud to pull on the green jersey. Just as | :09:33. | :09:46. | |
I will be in a couple of years time. It was another hot day today. But is | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
there a change on the way? We have had another cracking days with | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
temperatures up to 25 degrees. As we go through tonight, it won't be as | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
warm as it has been. Temperatures down to 12 degrees. So we will see | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
more cloud drift in and that will bring some cooler air tomorrow. But | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
it is still going to be pretty good. Temperatures will be back to normal | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
for the time of year, about four or five degrees lower than today. | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
Across Britain and Ireland tomorrow it stays settled with some rain in | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
England. Staying cool at 15 degrees in the north. Further south and west | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
it will be warmer with temperatures in low 20s. Tomorrow it will be dry | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
and bright and we will see some sunshine. Taerments up to about 19 | :10:17. | :10:27. | |
degrees. Still not bad for the time of year. Towards the | :10:28. | :10:29. |
