Now it's time for the news where you are.

:00:00.:00:07.

It's been revealed that the murder of a police officer 37

:00:08.:00:10.

years ago could have been prevented by senior RUC commanders.

:00:11.:00:14.

A police ombudsman team has been investigating the death of Sergeant

:00:15.:00:17.

The PSNI has already apologised for what's been called

:00:18.:00:20.

"significant shortcomings" in police investigations at the time.

:00:21.:00:22.

Sergeant Joe Campbell was a Catholic father. He was shot in decade. --

:00:23.:00:51.

the head. 47 years later, the ombudsman said he was field. Failed.

:00:52.:01:05.

-- -- failed. Because of the nature of the intelligence provided, had

:01:06.:01:17.

the proper actions being taken, I think it could have been different.

:01:18.:01:23.

Nobody has ever been convicted of Sergeant Joe Campbell's murder. This

:01:24.:01:35.

man was tried and acquitted. The family believe it was collusion with

:01:36.:01:47.

loyalist groups. I do not know what the threshold is to be able to say

:01:48.:01:53.

that it was close. You only have to read the report. It does not take

:01:54.:02:02.

the leap of faith. Somebody at the most senior level concluded. --

:02:03.:02:17.

colluded. Some retired police officers assisted by Bubbles refused

:02:18.:02:21.

to cooperate. The ombudsman wishes he could have compelled them. The

:02:22.:02:26.

Chief Constable at the time told investigators he does not really

:02:27.:02:31.

remember the Sergeant Joe Campbell case. This is an investigation into

:02:32.:02:41.

how the police acted before and after he died. The family says its

needs answers. On his final day in office,

:02:47.:02:50.

the outgoing Chief Constable Matt Baggott has said the police should

:02:51.:02:53.

no longer be responsible for investigating Troubles-related

:02:54.:03:01.

murders that took place before But his idea of a new authority

:03:02.:03:03.

taking over the investigations The past of them casts a shadow. We

:03:04.:03:28.

need to separate the past from the present. However it is done, the

:03:29.:03:33.

police service in Northern Ireland should no longer be accountable with

dealing with issues which predate the Good Friday Agreement. We need

:03:37.:03:47.

to focus on the here and now. I would find it incredibly difficult

:03:48.:03:49.

to understand how we can have two police forces in Northern Ireland,

:03:50.:04:00.

it would lead to confusion. Overlap. Serious mistakes being made. People

:04:01.:04:07.

in Northern Ireland, through the number of investigations that we

:04:08.:04:12.

have had, I think they have come to a place with is a consensus. Sinn

:04:13.:04:21.

Fein has always believed that those should be an independent process.

:04:22.:04:29.

The Chief Constable has been widely criticised. His comments come less

:04:30.:04:37.

than a week before all parties are due to debate the issues of flags

:04:38.:04:50.

and parades. As he departs, Matt Baggott appealed to them to stop

:04:51.:04:53.

using policing as a political football. The policing has to come

:04:54.:05:00.

out of politics. Do not criticise from a political viewpoint. George

Hamilton will take over the job on Monday. The new chief Kosovo will

:05:28.:05:34.

called for the Secretary of State to sack the commission, saying its

:05:35.:05:39.

members are not fit for purpose. I think it is time for the Secretary

:05:40.:05:50.

of State to call the commissioners and tell them they are not fit for

Giorgios Samras was the hero for millions of his fellow Greeks when

he scored the last minute penalty that sent his country through to the

:06:25.:06:27.

knockout stages of the World Cup. But, undoubtedly, the number one fan

of the former Celtic striker lives And the appreciation is mutual,

as Thomas Kane reports. They say that you should never meet

your heroes of this relationship between Jay and Samaras has now

:06:50.:06:58.

developed into a close friendship. They might have been separated by

thousands of miles, not when Samaras score this penalty at the World Cup,

:07:03.:07:11.

Jay could not have been proud of. Yes! In front of the word's media,

:07:12.:07:20.

Samaras used his press conference to send a message from South America to

:07:21.:07:28.

Lurgan. I want to thank Jay for all the strength that he has given me.

:07:29.:07:36.

The support, your strength gives strength to everybody. I am proud,

:07:37.:07:48.

very proud that you are my friend. I hope to see you soon. That is only

:07:49.:07:58.

one team and one clear that Jay wants to see progress farther than

Temperatures in the single figures. Ten, 11 degrees. It is going to be a

For most it is a dry picture. Similar on Sunday. Showers and
