The First Minister has described the abuse at Kincora Boys' Home | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
in east Belfast as "a national scandal". | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
Peter Robinson made his remarks after a former army intelligence | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
officer said he was ordered to stop investigating Kincora by MI5 | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
in the 1970s, five years before the police discovered that | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
teenage boys were being sexually assaulted on a regular basis. | :00:25. | :00:36. | |
It was set up as a place where teenage boys could be cared for. But | :00:37. | :00:45. | |
inside the key home, many were abused. The scandal was made public | :00:46. | :00:54. | |
in the 1970s, when the men were convicted of serious offences. But | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
it is claimed that years before any enquiry, MI5 stop the investigation. | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
In 1975, Brian was gathering information. He prepared the report | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
for a leading security services officer. He told me not just to stop | :01:12. | :01:24. | |
investigating into the boys home and into my past, but to stop the | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
investigation totally. The First Minister has described this as a | :01:31. | :01:40. | |
national scandal. There are matters when you put them together that | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
there was knowledge of high positions in Northern Ireland at | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
that time. I read some of the documentation in relation to it, and | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
I feel there is a case that merits investigation. Victims revisited the | :01:57. | :02:08. | |
house today. Client has always maintained that there was a | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
cover-up. I went to the police station, but they did not want to | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
hear me. They do not know if they did anything, but they were not | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
hearing anything bad about them. The whole always be associated with is | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
shame and scandal. The question now is how much more is to be green | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
fields? -- revealed. The Housing Executive | :02:36. | :02:45. | |
has defended spending ?11,000 on a memorial garden in south | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
Belfast which featured in a UDA The Executive says the garden | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
is to remember World War One and has no connection to | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
paramilitaries, despite a UDA plaque A publicly funded memorial garden | :02:56. | :03:10. | |
and a tribute to the Ulster defence Association. It cost ?11,000. Last | :03:11. | :03:21. | |
night, it hosted an Ulster defence event, which started with the parade | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
down the street. It was to commemorate the members who were | :03:30. | :03:39. | |
shot by the IRA. They were said to be associated with attacks on | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
Republicans, but nothing was ever proved. The Housing executive say | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
the garden was to commemorate the World War I. Although there is | :03:52. | :04:01. | |
nothing on the memorial to mention the First World War, there are | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
poppies on the plaque. The Housing executive have said. | :04:07. | :04:18. | |
The flags and placards being removed. It has once again brought | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
into focus the whole issue of remembering the past, how it should | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
be done and what is appropriate and what is an appropriate. | :04:30. | :04:41. | |
A protest has been held outside the BBC's Broadcasting House in Belfast | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
this evening, calling for an end to the Israeli bombing of Gaza. | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
Hundreds of demonstrators, many waving placards and Palestinian | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
flags, said they were angry at what they they called | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
the BBC's "inadequate coverage" of the crisis. | :04:52. | :04:52. | |
The BBC has reiterated that it stands by its reporting. | :04:53. | :05:05. | |
Hundreds of local people and Fermanagh have galloped to discuss | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
the controversial issue of cracking. affects the whole island. It is very | :05:12. | :05:25. | |
important that people all over article note this. | :05:26. | :05:28. | |

Team Northern Ireland won six more medals today, all of them bronze. | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
One came in the lawn bowls - more of that shortly - | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
in the boxing. But four of our fighters have made | :05:38. | :05:41. | |

When the defending champion enters the arena, there is a special | :06:02. | :06:10. | |
atmosphere. Today, Barnes totally outclassed as Ugandan opponent. He | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
has set up a gold medal bout with an Indian boxer. I have beaten him in | :06:15. | :06:27. | |
the Olympics. What would it mean to you to defend your championship? It | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
would be fantastic. The youngest member of the team wants to join | :06:36. | :06:45. | |
them. 19-year-old Joe Fitzpatrick enjoyed a unanimous victory. He | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
nearly did not make it into the ring at all. I had an eye injury and the | :06:51. | :07:03. | |
doctor said it was touch and go. Pet and do not be hacked, that is the | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
key. It is a busy night ahead for the medical team. Earlier today, | :07:12. | :07:17. | |

win because he was ahead at the time. I can take anything. I am | :07:22. | :07:31. | |
happy enough. They would have two cup my head off to stop me getting | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
in the rain! He has to wait to find out whether the doctor will pass him | :07:38. | :07:44. | |

tomorrow, as Northern Ireland go for a four gold medals. | :08:18. | :08:27. | |
Earlier today, Northern Ireland's lawn bowls team picked up a second | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
medal of these games when the women's pairs beat Jersey by one | :08:32. | :08:33. | |

to add to the silver won by the men's triples earlier in the week. | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
And for Barbara, in her fifth games, what a fitting way to retire | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
Now, at the Milk Cup tonight, and Northern Ireland made history by | :08:46. | :08:56. | |

when they were awarded a penalty. It was sent sailing past the Canadian | :09:30. | :09:37. | |
goalkeeper. The boys have been terrific, right from the captain all | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
the way through. They deserve everything they get. Earlier in the | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
junior final, County Antrim were beaten by Corinthians. The cop | :09:50. | :10:03. | |

Finally, time for the weekend weather forecast, with Cecilia Daly. | :10:21. | :10:28. | |
The weather is something of a mess in the next few days. The showers | :10:29. | :10:39. | |
that there are around will to fizzle out, so it should be dry in many | :10:40. | :10:40. | |
places. The bulk of the rain on Saturday | :10:41. | :10:51. | |
following in Eastern counties during the course of the afternoon. | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
Tomorrow afternoon, starting July, but showers never too far away in | :10:58. | :11:05. | |
the East, with the needle you are to the Irish Sea, the more likely you | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
are to ensure some heavy rain. Heavy rain warnings are in mourning place | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
across Britain. None of them in Northern Ireland as yet, but it is | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
something we will have to continue to monitor. Parts of Northern | :11:20. | :11:30. | |
Ireland, particularly in the West will enjoy the best of the weather. | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
Once that rain in the East sets in, it will be persistent. More wet | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
weather on Saturday night and Sunday morning, but things will gradually | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
improve. Sunday is an improving day and it looks as though temperatures | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
will begin to pick up as we head up into the new week. | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
That is it for now. I will be here with the next | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
Newsline tomorrow at half past five. You can keep up to date with News | :11:57. | :11:59. | |

This is the story of how motoring came to the masses. | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
How dictatorships and democracies alike pursued the dream | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
