That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Good evening. The headlines on BBC Newsline: | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
The First Minister Peter Robinson calls the abuse of young boys | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
at the Kincora home in east Belfast a "national scandal". | :00:21. | :00:28. | |
We are now being told that there were agencies of the state who were | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
aware of it and did nothing. That is the most serious allegation that can | :00:33. | :00:43. | |
be made. The controversy over a UDA parade and a memorial in South | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
Belfast. It's all smiles at Exploris | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
in Portaferry as the under threat aquarium gets | :00:48. | :00:48. | |
a financial lifeline from Stormont. It means that Portaferry will not be | :00:49. | :00:57. | |
dead on its feet. If explorers had closed, the town would be | :00:58. | :00:58. | |
devastated. Northern Ireland's medal tally | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
continues to rise - join me live for all the latest | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
from the Commonwealth Games. And we can expect some wet | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
and windy weather this weekend A "national scandal" - | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
that's how the First Minister today described the child abuse at the | :01:15. | :01:27. | |
Kincora boys home in east Belfast. Peter Robinson said Kincora needs to | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
be included in the Westminster investigation into sexual abuse | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
in institutions across the UK. A former army intelligence officer | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
has told the BBC that MI5 stopped an investigation into abuse | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
at the home five years before the police discovered that | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
teenage boys were being sexually It was set up as a place where | :01:44. | :02:01. | |
teenage boys could be cared for. But inside the Kincora home in Belfast, | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
many were abused. In the early 1980s the scandal was made public and | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
three men, including loyalist William McGrath, were convicted of a | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
series of offences. But it is claimed that years before a police | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
inquiry, MI5 stopped an investigation into the home. In | :02:22. | :02:30. | |
1975, Brown Gemmill was gathering information about the Army and he | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
gathered information about Kincora. He told me to not just stop | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
the investigation into Kincora and McGrath and what happened | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
but to drop Royal Flush. After recent revelations involving | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
Jimmy Savile and others, there are many who feel it is time | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
to re-examine exactly what happened at Kincora, especially as there are | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
allegations that establishment Today the First Minister said he had | :02:51. | :03:08. | |
written to the Prime Minister about what he described as a scandal. He | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
is calling for it to be included in the Home Office inquiry into | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
historical abuse. There are matters which when you put them together | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
indicate clearly there was a knowledge in very high positions in | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
Northern Ireland at that time. I have heard the rumours, I have read | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
some of the documentation in relation to it. There is certainly a | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
case which would merit an investigation. There have been | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
enquiries in the past but they were limited in terms of their powers of | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
investigation. A former Army press officer who has long called for a | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
new investigation believes the links to Kincora may stretch across they | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
are safe. Paedophile groups in the 70s form very close alliances for | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
protection, and it may well be that some of those links are very | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
important when we look at why the Army and the police were not allowed | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
to take action. One abuse victim from Kincora revisited the house | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
today. Clint Massey has long argued that there was a cover-up. I have | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
passed it many a time and a hairs on the back of my neck though up and I | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
just want to see the building gone. I want to turn up and see an empty | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
space. Then I will know it has gone. Industry around what was a care | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
home, Kincora is a name associated with shame and scandal, and a key | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
question remains, how much is still secret? | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
The Housing Executive has defended spending ?11,000 on a new memorial | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
garden in South Belfast, which was part of a UDA parade last night. | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
The Executive says it's a garden of reflection marking the First World | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
War and not designed to promote any paramilitary organisation. | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
A publicly funded war memorial garden and a public tribute to the | :05:01. | :05:19. | |
UDA. The Housing Executive paid for this memorial to be built. It cost | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
?11,000. And last night it hosted a UDA event which began with a parade | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
down the warmer road. -- the warmer road. | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
It was held to remember UDA members, including Joe Bratty and | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
Raymond Elder, shot dead by the IRA 20 years ago. | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
They were both suspected of involvement in the Sean Graham | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
bookmakers attack in which five Catholics were killed. | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
But nothing was ever proved, and at the opening of the memorial garden, | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
The two men's names were on a plaque unveiled. Everyone who was involved | :05:52. | :06:04. | |
in organising tonight, fantastic job, something to be proud of. The | :06:05. | :06:14. | |
Housing Executive insists they garden was designed to commemorate | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
the First World War and there are poppies on the memorial plaque. An | :06:19. | :06:19. | |
executive spokesperson said... The UDA plaque and flags have been | :06:20. | :06:42. | |
removed. The parade here last night has once again brought into focus | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
the issue of remembering the past where it should be done, how it | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
should be done, what is appropriate and what is inappropriate. A new | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
tribute to hunger striker Bobby Sands was unveiled today in West | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
Belfast. Afterwards, Gerry Adams was asked about last night's UDA event. | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
People have the right to commemorate and pay respect to those who fail in | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
the struggle and who they may have an affinity with, that is entirely | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
appropriate, but if it is not lawful, if in some way, as I hear | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
suggested, public money has been used to finance that, that is a | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
different question. Some used to finance that, that is a | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
the parade insist they did nothing wrong. | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
A court's been told tensions in Omagh remain high over | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
the death of a local woman whose partner is charged with her murder. | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
The comments were made during a bail hearing for Noel Knox | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
In February this year, the police were called to a house | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
There, Mairead McCallion told them 50-year-old Noel Knox had grabbed | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
her by the hair, banged her head off a wall | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
The 36-year-old woman had suffered head injuries. | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
Knox, from Knockshee Park in Omagh, was charged with her murder. | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
He was granted bail with stringent conditions earlier this year. | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
Those conditions included staying out of Omagh and living | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
Today, the High Court was told Knox had surrendered voluntarily to | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
custody in June, after the hostel closed down. | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
A new application was being made to give Knox bail | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
A crown barrister told the court he'd spoken to police, | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
and that tensions in the town were still running high with regard to | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
But he said Knox had complied with all the conditions imposed | :08:38. | :08:51. | |
Mr Justice Maguire granted Knox bail at his relative's address. | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
But he told him some areas of the town, where he might encounter | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
members of Mairead McCallion's family, were off limits to him. | :09:01. | :09:09. | |
A financial lifeline for the under-threat Exploris | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
Tax workers here have been striking today in an ongoing dispute | :09:15. | :09:31. | |
The Public and Commercial Services Union, which represents 1500 | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
workers, says the action is against the closure of inquiry | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
The strike has been timed to coincide with the deadline | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
for tax credit renewals and self-assessment payments. | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
Gardai have sealed off part of a waste recycling plant | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
in Dublin after a human leg was discovered there last night. | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
It was among waste material at Thornton's plant in Ballyfermot. | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
A second body part was also found during a forensic examination | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
A protest has been held outside the BBC's rod casting house this evening | :10:02. | :10:16. | |
calling for an end to the Israeli bombing of Gaza. | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
Hundreds of demonstrators, many waving Palestinian flags | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
and placards, said they were angry at what they called the BBC's | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
The BBC has reiterated that it stands by its reporting. | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
As part of remembering the sacrifice of the First World War, the public | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
are being asked for their ideas for the creation of a centenary wood. | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
Although it'll be based just outside Londonderry, it'll mark | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
the contribution of all soldiers from across the island of Ireland. | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
Here's our North-West reporter, Keiron Tourish. | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
It is an ambitious project, transforming this ancient land into | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
a Saint hearing -- centenary would to commemorate all soldiers who lost | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
their lives in the Great War. It will recognise the sacrifice of all | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
those from the island of Ireland. We have acquired 53 acres and that | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
would be the commemorative would not just for Northern Ireland but | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
All-Ireland. We are conscious that people from the island, something | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
like 200,000 went to work, 40,000 never came home, they were part of | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
the great effort in the 14 to 18 war. Similar woods are being created | :11:32. | :11:39. | |
in Scotland and Wales and England. The Princess Royal met some of those | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
involved. That is a nice picture there. Among them was Stanley and | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
his wife Roberta. Stanley's 26 rolled uncle went off to war with | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
the Royal Irish Fusiliers, never to return. There was an officer in no | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
man's land who was Moon did and he went out with a stretcher -- who was | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
wounded and he went out to get him, a German shell exploded and they | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
were all killed by shrapnel. His grave was never found. The family | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
have many mementos, including this brooch with pictures of arrive at | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
Edmund Gray and his fiancee. This lady was known to have walked the | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
roads for many weeks afterwards trying to deal with grief. There | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
were not many ways of dealing with it and I suppose this was how she | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
dealt with it, and I think it was eight or nine years before she | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
married. Tragically, she died at the birth of her first child. The mayor | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
of Derry says it is important to honour the memory of all who lost | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
their lives in the war. We have to remember there were a lot of Irish | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
people who died in the First World War and they have largely been | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
forgotten, so I would be going out and attending events to mark the | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
100th anniversary of the First World War and I think this is a great way | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
to market. The Woodland Trust wants the public to become actively | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
involved in this process. It wants to hear from individuals, groups, | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
even schools, about how to develop this vast 53 acre site. | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
Coming up shortly, we have all the latest from the Commonwealth | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
Games in Glasgow, including boxer Michael Conlan's win in his | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
The Stormont Executive has approved funding to save the | :13:32. | :13:42. | |
Exploris Aquarium in Portaferry, which had been under threat | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
?900,000 of capital funding has been earmarked for the aquarium. | :13:47. | :14:04. | |
At their fingertips, a whole new world just waiting to be explored. | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
Until yesterday, the future of Exploris was unclear. It has been | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
given a lifeline. Never mind banging on tanks, these fish have been under | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
stress since it was first suggested the aquarium close in September. | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
This guy is taking it all in his stride. As for these three, it is | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
all they are talking about. Even the Rae is jumping for joy. It is very | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
important to Portaferry. It is dear to our hearts because we are proud | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
of it. The people Portaferry are proud of it. It didn't come with the | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
fight. In September, Ards Borough Council voted to close Exploris | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
because they could not afford it. There was a stay of execution. | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
Everyone here local has done so much work to do this, and it is such good | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
news for Portaferry and a whole Ards Peninsula. It is proved that if we | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
pulled together and get support from people, old and local parties can | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
achieve something. These little fellows are orphaned seals given | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
sanctuary. The council hopes to accept the offer but says it will | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
not decided until it has considered the detail at a meeting next week. | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
We have challenges as to how we get more people through the door, | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
especially in winter months when it is more quiet, and how we build up | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
utilisation of the facility and get more revenue. That is a challenge, | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
how we market this better and get more people in, but this is a good | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
step and we are delighted more people in, but this is a good | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
to build on it. Was busy today, people voting with their feet, | :15:53. | :15:54. | |
to build on it. Was busy today, to see a more certain future. A door | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
has been opened and a lifeline loan. to see a more certain future. A door | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
The future of Exploris now lies in the hands of the council. | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
The good news keeps on coming? Yes, absolutely. | :16:10. | :16:20. | |
The overall total of medals has now climbed to 12, after our lawn | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
But first, the focus is very much on boxing. Nine fighters in semifinal | :16:24. | :16:33. | |
action today. Two have bowed out but will still | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
go home with a bronze medal. And two won and are through to | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
tomorrow's finals, This bot light was on Northern Irish | :16:43. | :16:57. | |
boxing today. -- the spotlight. Flyweight Walsh faced off with an | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
Indian fighter in the first fight. And the 21-year-old made her mark in | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
the ring again, to progress after a split decision victory. I was very | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
nervous. It was a big fight for me, I saw this morning that she beat the | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
five-time world champion and Olympic medallist so I knew it would be | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
tough. Her win sets up a final bout against the Olympic champion. | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
tough. Her win sets up a final bout final, you both want to win gold, I | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
want to win gold, I want final, you both want to win gold, I | :17:36. | :17:47. | |
Michaela Walsh has just laid down a marker for the rest of the Northern | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
Ireland boxing team. Up next is Olympic bronze medallist Michael | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
Conlan. The first word that springs to mind for this semifinal is mouth | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
watering. For the second time at these games, Michael Conlan was cut | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
after an accidental clash of heads. But he was awarded the win because | :18:10. | :18:17. | |
he was ahead on points. And now he faces a nervous wait to see if the | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
doctors will pass him fit to fight tomorrow. Hard as nails, I can take | :18:22. | :18:29. | |
anything. I got cut in my third or fourth fight, so I am happy enough | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
for tomorrow. You would have to cut my head off to stop me from | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
fighting. It wasn't to be for Sean Duffy, but he was still delighted to | :18:41. | :18:48. | |
win bronze. Very proud to be winning a medal, I took a couple of years | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
out and to get to that standard I am proud. Shaw McGlinchey lost his | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
semifinal but exceeded his own expectations. I got a gold medal. | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
That's back I got a bronze medal I would have been happy with a gold | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
but I was up against a good opponent and I wish him well. So two silver | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
and two bronze medals are guaranteed. The trail for Gould | :19:15. | :19:24. | |
continues tonight. And that is now three bronze medals because within | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
the last couple of minutes, Alanna Audley-Murphy has just lost her | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
semifinal am so she gets a bronze as well. | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
Now to the bowlers, who secured their second medal | :19:41. | :19:42. | |
The women pairs team beat Jersey to win bronze. | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
After five Commonwealth Games, this was their bowl which clinched a | :19:49. | :19:56. | |
first medal for Barbara Cameron. Its yield a thrilling one point victory | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
to spark celebrations with her partner, Mandy Cunningham. This is | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
unbelievable. I think I am still shocked. That last bowl, the bull | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
that won the game, I will never forget it. We have looked all around | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
at the scenarios of if it came out the side or the Jack went out the | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
back, and we thought, just go for it, you will not get this chance | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
again, and it worked. Barbara Cameron, the experienced skipper for | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
Ireland, will be proud of winning a medal. 20 years of trying to get to | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
the stage and eventually a Commonwealth Games medallist. You | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
could give me any colours, as long as I got on that podium! This could | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
be me finished. Before I came away, I made my mind up, get some am out, | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
so 75 international caps this year, I think this is a time to bow out. A | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
fitting way to sign of a brilliant bowling career. You never know, she | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
might be back. It was a good day also for | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
our netball team, playing at their Ranked 12th in the world, they had | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
aimed for a top eight finish here. And they've actually exceeded | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
that with a comprehensive 58-36 win over Wales this morning to | :21:15. | :21:16. | |
finish seventh overall. The Games are already over | :21:17. | :21:24. | |
for many of our competitors, but for cyclist Sean Downey, | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
they're just about to begin. The 24-year-old will ride | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
in Sunday's road race, and has just arrived here fresh from | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
some tough training with his younger Sean Downey is hoping his delayed | :21:34. | :21:50. | |
arrival in Glasgow could prove to be perfect timing. The 24-year-old has | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
swapped the bars of the athletes village for extra training hours | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
into more. I hope I am a little bit better here and staying focused and | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
the last few weeks has been pretty hard for the training, I have been | :22:06. | :22:13. | |
training up to 200 miles a week. Sean was part of the pursuit team | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
that clinched bronze in Delhi four years ago. This time he moves from | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
the track to the road race and expects the streets of Glasgow will | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
be challenging. The city centre is like a criterion with steep climbs | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
and twists and turns, it will stretch the bunch out and then you | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
have hills and it is going to be aggressive from the start. That | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
seems to be a sentiment that resonates with the family. Sean's | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
younger brother Mark has just returned from junior European | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
Championships in Portugal, where he won a silver medal. While Mark is | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
focused on being selected for the 2018 games, this weekend his | :22:55. | :23:02. | |
priority is supporting Sean's bid. Absolutely cracking, he is motivated | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
for this and I hope he can pull something. There may be another | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
medal added to the family collection come Sunday. Good luck to him. | :23:11. | :23:19. | |

It's been well documented in Monaghan that we haven't won a | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
championship game here, but we're looking at kill their and it has | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
been no surprise they had a run in qualifiers this year, they do it | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
every year, so to see them in the last 12 was no surprise, they are a | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
good team and have their act together and they will be ready for | :24:44. | :24:44. | |

Keep your fingers crossed. We will indeed, Stephen, and good luck to | :25:28. | :25:38. | |
all the boxers. Let's find out what the weather has in store for us. The | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
mini heatwave from last week seems like a distant memory. This day last | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
week it was the hottest day of the year! Nothing like that today. This | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
weekend there will be wet weather. Not everywhere, the best of the dry | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
weather will be across the west, especially Tyrone and Fermanagh, but | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
when the rain sets in in the east it will feel cool and perhaps on the | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
tumble side, but fortunately the whole weekend is not a wash-out -- | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
autumnal. We have some showers around and there is another clump of | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
rain heading up Sligo and Fermanagh and some of that will be around this | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
evening, especially in southern counties and the east, but later a | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
lot of showers will fizzle out and where skies clear, temperatures will | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
drop. To begin tomorrow there will be dry weather and the bulk of the | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
rain will fall across eastern counties. It is all down to this | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
area of low pressure which will move up over the weekend, bringing heavy | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
rain to England and Scotland, we will monitor it for Northern | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
Ireland, and also some north north-westerly winds behind it. To | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
begin tomorrow, a lot of places dry but Shaba is never too far away from | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
Belfast and the south-east, and that creeps onto the east coast. Further | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
west it is dry with sunshine and will be present, at that rain will | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
set into eastern areas, expecting Belfast pride, the Parade, it we'll | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
feel cool when the rain arrives, the best of the weather towards the | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
south-west, maybe the odd shower but temperatures could reach 18 degrees. | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
Tomorrow night that rain will become more widespread and then on Sunday | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
the rain will still be there to begin with, especially towards north | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
and east, but it will gradually move away so Sunday is a getting better | :27:34. | :27:40. | |
day. Thank you, Cecilia. From all of us here, good evening. | :27:41. | :27:45. |
