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

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

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

atmosphere. Today, Barnes totally outclassed as Ugandan opponent. He

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.

Michael was cut after an accidental clash of heads. He was awarded the

win because he was ahead at the time. I can take anything. I am

:08:37.:08:38.

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.

becoming the first team to win the Elite competition for a fourth time.

Having shaken off the controversy of the match against Mexico, Northern

:09:11.:09:18.

Ireland dominated in the final against Canada. The only goal came

:09:19.:09:29.

when they were awarded a penalty. It was sent sailing past the Canadian

: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
