That's all from the team here in Glasgow. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
That's all from us. You can watch all of the action | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
A man who was shot in both legs in Londonderry was "shot by | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
The attack was carried out in a playpark in the mainly loyalist | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
The police have described it as horrific and barbaric | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
Here's our North-West reporter, Keiron Tourish. | :00:24. | :00:34. | |
The horror of the playpark shooting. Specialist cleaning equipment from | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
the deer we had to be brought in to remove blood from this mistake in | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
Waterside. Most of the footage graphic to be broadcast. -- is too | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
graphic to be broadcast. A local man who was 32 years | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
of age was shot in both legs just a few feet | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
from this playground around 11:30pm And it is understood he was made his | :00:57. | :01:09. | |
way to his home and was taken to hospital. | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
The DUP say there is speculation that the victim may have been told | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
in advance to turn up to be shot in this punishment-style attack. | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
The party says there can be no justification for it. | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
I think it's disgusting this happened here in a playpark. | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
This area has been relatively quiet over the last year, as has a lot | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
of loyalist areas, and I am really surprised and shocked that this has | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
happened, but to happen in a playpark, where you have children | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
The police say they have interviewed about them in hospital, where he has | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
undergone emergency surgery. The police say they have interviewed | :01:36. | :01:36. | |
about them in hospital, Detectives are keeping an open mind as to the | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
cause of the attack. It's a horrific attack, | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
a beautiful warm evening in Lincoln Courts last night, | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
this man was shot in each leg. Thankfully he is in hospital getting | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
medical treatment, but it was Police have issued an appeal | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
for information. They want to hear | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
from anyone who noticed any suspicious activity or witnessed | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
the shooting to get in touch. DUP Minister Nelson McCausland has | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
rejected a report which found he deliberately misled | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
a Stormont committee. The report by the Social Development | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
committee concluded the Minister had misled members over | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
meetings he had attended. Its investigation followed a | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
BBC Spotlight programme that examined allegations surrounding | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
public housing contracts. Here's our political | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
correspondent Gareth Gordon. The inquiry was launched after this | :02:20. | :02:32. | |
BBC Spotlight programme alleged political interference in the | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
running of the Housing Executive. It considered a meeting Nelson | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
McCausland held in April 2012 to discuss double glazing contracts. He | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
claimed it was with a trade body called the Glass and Glazing | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
Federation, but it was with a company called Turkington Holdings, | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
which has in the past backs the DUP. In the light of evidence to date, | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
and the discovery exercise in my department, I acknowledged I | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
inadvertently misinform the committee in this letter. Let me | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
assure you this was not in any way deliberate. This staff from | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
Turkington Holdings were at the staff -- were at the meeting but I | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
believed they were putting forward the interests of the Federation. But | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
the committee found that attempts the Minister made to remove | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
references to Turkington Holdings from the record were not | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
unintentional. This is the only place on these islands where a | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
minister can face these charges and remain in place. It is a serious | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
conclusion the committee has reached and there are questions that need to | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
be addressed by those remain -- by those named in this report. This DUP | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
committee member claims the inquiry is a witchhunt. I do not believe he | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
has done anything wrong other than hold meetings with a company which | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
is the result of those meetings, he saved millions of pounds for the | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
public purse, which means there is more money for other things like | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
housing, that is not a minister neglecting his duty but a minister | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
doing his duty. This month Mr McCausland wrote the committee | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
claiming the report was flawed and weak in its analysis and statement | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
of the facts, and which therefore it should not be published in its | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
current form. Nelson McCausland was not giving any interview today. This | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
inquiry is far from over. It begins again in September and will also be | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
debated in the Assembly. The committee intends to double the | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
number of evidence sessions in the autumn from one to two a week. | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
The Finance Minister has circulated a paper which proposes millions of | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
pounds in cuts across departments, except health and education. | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
The BBC understands the paper follows intense discussions | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
between the First and Deputy First Minister about how to deal with | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
quarterly spending plans, and tens of millions in financial pressures. | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
Sinn Fein says no deal has yet been agreed. | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
The party also said it had not changed its position that Treasury | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
fines over welfare reform are separate | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
Our political correspondent Martina Purdy has the details. | :05:22. | :05:32. | |
This is a budget paper and it takes unspent funds from the last quarter | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
and their racks them to areas where it is needed, so the will be some | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
good news for departments like the Department of Health, but the | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
downside is that there are huge spending commitments that they do | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
not have the money for, tens of millions of pounds, and the Finance | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
Minister has a headache around welfare reform penalties. They are | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
about ?87 million. Sinn Fein say they have not agreed to welfare cuts | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
and have not agreed these penalties should be part of this round. Other | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
parties say it is acknowledged that the welfare issue will have to be | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
dealt with in the next round, so there is still hope this paper will | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
go forward to an executive meeting early next week. | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
It's been another day of sunshine across Northern Ireland. | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
With temperatures hitting 27 degrees, it was the warmest day | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson has been to the north coast to see how people | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
It's not Spain, it's not Portugal. It's not Brazil, its Northern | :06:29. | :06:43. | |
Ireland. The visitors who came here expecting rain rather than sunshine | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
couldn't quite believe it. It's lovely, really nice. Is it like this | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
all the time here? This is the first time I have been here in ten years | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
were it has been sunny. The weather is not normally like this, in | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
Cyprus. It is cooler here. This is Port Stewart. There are more people | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
around, they come out earlier in the morning and stay out later and it | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
helps ice cream sales a lot, especially takeaway ice creams, so | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
it is good for everyone. I love it but it is a bit too hot when you're | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
working but I am going on holiday on Saturday so I can sunbathe them. It | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
was so hot, no wonder so many people came to Portrush to try to cool | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
down. The water is pretty warm! It came to Portrush to try to cool | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
is not often you can say that about the north coast. When the weather is | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
so good, it is only right you make a song and dance about it, and here I | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
group from Britain's Got Talent performed. It was a spectacular day | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
all over Northern Ireland. Tomorrow could be even hotter. Let's hope | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
that is the case. The Northern Ireland Executive is | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
coming under pressure to make up a shortfall | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
in funding to turn Armagh's historic The jail's conversion | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
will cost ?25 million. But its owner, Armagh Council, is | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
fearful the project could be lost. The private development partner may | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
withdraw his ?11 million because Stormont departments will | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
not pledge more financial help. The reality is, there have been | :08:24. | :08:37. | |
question marks over the business case in the last year and if the | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
business case stacks up, I do not see white e-book cannot support | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
that, but until we see a buyable business case, because questions | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
have been asked by each department, so let see that and we will take it | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
from there. And the excitement has been at fever | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
pitch in Glasgow for the opening The world champion cyclist | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
Martyn Irvine was the flag bearer With a total of 116 athletes | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
from here competing in 14 different sports, | :09:04. | :09:15. | |
it's the biggest team from here ever The action all begins tomorrow, | :09:16. | :09:15. | |
and Northern Ireland has a lot of competitors to look out for | :09:16. | :09:15. | |
on day one. Could we get among the medals | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
and get off to a winning start in Glasgow? | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
Nial Foster looks ahead now. Done. Ray. Me. This team hope to | :09:23. | :09:38. | |
scale the heights tomorrow as they start Northern Ireland's quest for | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
silverware in Glasgow at the lawn bowls centre just hours after the | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
opening ceremony initials. In the Strathclyde country Park, | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
Londonderry to athlete Aileen Reid will find out if the long hours in | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
the C and road will pave the way for a medal. I know I can perform well | :09:58. | :10:06. | |
when I am at my best, so it is just about pressure from outside to do | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
well, I just do the best I can do. Sticking with the water, the charge | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
for glory is in the pool as the swimming gets under way and for the | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
first time Northern Ireland will be presented in netball. The ladies | :10:22. | :10:31. | |
face Malawi. Now, let's find out what the weather has in store for | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
us. It has been a scorcher of a day, the hottest day of the year so far, | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
and this will continue until the other week. It will freshen up over | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
the weekend and that will mean cooler nights. Tonight the heat is | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
not going anywhere, warm and muggy, dry for much of the night but a | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
little cloud bringing spots of rain towards the end of the night. There | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
may be Mr Unionists along parts of the east coast tomorrow but we are | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
expecting a good deal of hot and sunny weather. To begin with, one or | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
two genres in the west, otherwise increasing sunshine from the east of | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
the day goes on. Any mistiness across the Irish Sea Kosher does | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
appear that it will stay misty and foggy in parts of north-east | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
Scotland. There will also be showers in parts of Mayo, Sligo, Donegal, | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
and a few over south-west England but most places will have fine | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
weather, temperatures in the mid to high 20s. Temperatures in Northern | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
Ireland easily reached 24 degrees, hats in the north-west, and that may | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
spark off one or two thundery showers towards the end of the day. | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
For Friday, not much change, cooler towards the east coast, but | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
otherwise lots of sunshine, very warm and the risk of one or two | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
showers late in the day. On Saturday, a change of wind direction | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
so it will turn fresher. There will be showers around but still | :12:02. | :12:02. |
