A man has told the Historical Institutional Abuse

:00:08.:00:10.

Inquiry that he was physically and sexually abused as a young boy

:00:11.:00:13.

while in the care of the Presbyterian Church in Australia.

:00:14.:00:15.

He was an orphan sent abroad from Tyrone.

:00:16.:00:17.

Meanwhile, another child migrant, who was sent to Australia at

:00:18.:00:20.

the age of 10, has been telling his story to our reporter Helen Jones.

:00:21.:00:43.

I can recall lying on a horsehair mattress, looking up thinking, what

:00:44.:00:52.

do they ever do to deserve this cruel, harsh environment? Painful

:00:53.:00:57.

memories of what he describes as a robbed childhood in this really are.

:00:58.:01:02.

Part of the migration scheme, Tony was rounded up and shipped off. Just

:01:03.:01:08.

ten years old he arrived in Fremantle to a rude awakening. It

:01:09.:01:15.

has left us all with the scars of trauma, cruelty, intimidation,

:01:16.:01:22.

ridicule and put down. Equally, with the appalling ill-treatment and

:01:23.:01:27.

exploitation of children through hard labour and reversion that all

:01:28.:01:35.

was part of that appalling culture. He is revisiting his long lost

:01:36.:01:39.

family on his fathers side. He wasn't aware he had any family until

:01:40.:01:44.

2001. When he was four years old his mother put into care. She was

:01:45.:01:50.

unmarried. I can't recall my mother, to be honest. I can recall a

:01:51.:01:56.

lady with an orange bag. What hurts me more than ever is that my mother

:01:57.:02:02.

did go back looking for me and I had been moved on. Just imagine the

:02:03.:02:09.

heart rate for VAT woman. I never met her. The closest I got to her

:02:10.:02:13.

was her grave. That is the reality of what I have had to come to terms

:02:14.:02:23.

with. I mother died F56 traumatised by the fact she was denied access to

:02:24.:02:29.

her child. I feel robbed and deceit, as she would have felt. He told me

:02:30.:02:37.

he was hoping his mother was looking down on

:02:38.:02:37.

A Polish couple and their five children living in

:02:38.:02:42.

Moneymore in County Londonderry say they are being harassed out of their

:02:43.:02:44.

Last night a window was smashed when a piece of concrete was thrown

:02:45.:02:49.

This Polish family has been living in Moneymore for two years. They say

:02:50.:03:04.

that since June they have been the targets of 13 separate incidents of

:03:05.:03:09.

harassment. The worst was last night when a piece of concrete smashed

:03:10.:03:14.

their front window. Such is the fear felt by this family from Poland that

:03:15.:03:17.

they don't want to be identified, but they do want to be moved from

:03:18.:03:23.

this house in Moneymore. The Polish couple have five children. There are

:03:24.:03:30.

12-year-old daughter spoke for the family. We moved here to live in

:03:31.:03:46.

peace. Our children were born here. We never thought that anything bad

:03:47.:03:51.

would come to our family. We want to live in Northern Ireland, but not in

:03:52.:03:54.

Moneymore because we have had enough. Mum and dad are worrying

:03:55.:03:59.

about us. So you want out of here now? Yes. If we cute, we would move

:04:00.:04:09.

by tomorrow. It has been going on since June. I want to condemn this.

:04:10.:04:16.

It is totally unacceptable. The police are appealing for information

:04:17.:04:19.

about the attack last night on the family home, which is being treated

:04:20.:04:20.

as a hate crime. Two men charged with setting fire to

:04:21.:04:22.

a family's pet dog were today accused in court

:04:23.:04:26.

of repeatedly lying about their whereabouts on the morning

:04:27.:04:27.

of the incident in August 2012. The 23-year-olds are accused

:04:28.:04:30.

of causing unnecessary suffering to the Border collie, which had to be

:04:31.:04:32.

put down after it was attacked. You may find some of the pictures

:04:33.:04:35.

in her report disturbing. Jamie Downey from Moira, seen here

:04:36.:04:54.

on the left covering his face as he walked from court this afternoon. At

:04:55.:05:00.

the end of the proceedings today. Richard Stewart, from Wellington

:05:01.:05:04.

Park and the time, left the same building. At the start of the case

:05:05.:05:07.

today the judge warned the jury that they might find some of the details

:05:08.:05:12.

to stressing. This is Cody, the three-year-old collie owned by the

:05:13.:05:18.

act new family. On a Sunday morning two years ago they noticed she was

:05:19.:05:24.

missing. She arrived at the door one time aggregators suffering from

:05:25.:05:27.

severe burns. She had to be put to sleep. In the prosecution's opening

:05:28.:05:34.

statement the jury was told that the two accused had told lie after lie

:05:35.:05:38.

about their whereabouts on the Sunday morning and added that the

:05:39.:05:41.

pair had done the circuit of the village, either to walk off the

:05:42.:05:46.

effects of the party they were at the night before or to finish off

:05:47.:05:50.

alcohol they had with them. For whatever reason, they then decided

:05:51.:05:54.

to take a dog, poured flammable liquid on it and set it alight. Both

:05:55.:05:59.

men denied the charges. The trial is due to resume tomorrow.

:06:00.:06:03.

Northern Ireland's two biggest electricity suppliers say they will

:06:04.:06:05.

not raise household prices for the rest of 2014.

:06:06.:06:08.

The announcements came from Power NI and SSE Airtricity.

:06:09.:06:10.

The utility regulator said it was welcome news coming

:06:11.:06:12.

into the winter months, but warned of price uncertainty in the medium

Visitors to Belfast Zoo got a shock when a baby giraffe was born

:06:16.:06:25.

The new arrival had been expected, though not quite so soon.

:06:26.:06:29.

Mother and baby together just minutes after the birth. It happened

:06:30.:06:43.

in full view of visitors to the zoo. They could not leave their eyes as

:06:44.:06:48.

the baby suddenly appeared. If you are squeamish you may want to look

:06:49.:06:51.

away because the actual moment of Earth was caught on video by Lurgan

:06:52.:07:02.

teenager Maria Armstrong. In all, the baby dropped five feet. If you

:07:03.:07:07.

watch the footage again and you can see it had a relatively soft

:07:08.:07:15.

landing. Within 30 minutes it was on its feet and meeting its family. The

:07:16.:07:21.

big question is, is it a boy or a girl? Foo zookeepers are not sure.

:07:22.:07:26.

Since the baby was born, they have been allowing it to bond with its

:07:27.:07:31.

mother and her their distance. They have come up with two names, one for

:07:32.:07:37.

a boy and one for a girl. The birth was on Monday. There were some

:07:38.:07:43.

concerns about the health of the giraffe, but nothing serious and he

:07:44.:07:47.

or she should be back in the public eye very

:07:48.:07:48.

Football now and the Republic have beaten Oman 2-0 in their final

:07:49.:07:53.

international friendly before the beginning of the Euro 2016 campaign.

:07:54.:07:55.

Oman didn't put the home team under too much pressure at the Aviva

:07:56.:07:58.

Kevin Doyle scored the first for Ireland with a well-taken header

:07:59.:08:02.

from Robbie Brady's perfectly delivered first-half corner-kick.

:08:03.:08:03.

It was another Brady corner in the 80th minute that gave Alex Pearce

:08:04.:08:06.

We have another fine and dry night to come. It will be mild for most of

:08:07.:08:31.

us, temperatures staying at ten or 11 degrees. Maybe added colour under

:08:32.:08:38.

any bricks on the cloud. Some missed or a fork will form, but that was

:08:39.:08:44.

left quickly tomorrow morning. Tomorrow will be much like today,

:08:45.:08:50.

with a fair amount of cloud around. There will be bright spells and some

:08:51.:08:53.

sunshine. It will be warm in the sunshine with light wind. A few

:08:54.:09:02.

packets of mist and fog as well, but again it will left early. A lot of

:09:03.:09:08.

settled weather all over Great Britain and Ireland tomorrow. There

:09:09.:09:13.

will be spells of sunshine to enjoy. Warm in the south-east of England at

:09:14.:09:20.

24 degrees. We are above average all over for the time of year. For

:09:21.:09:26.

Northern Ireland, over for the time of year. For

:09:27.:09:27.

Northern there will be a fair amount of cloud around. It will break up

:09:28.:09:32.

and we will see the sun from time to time. There is a slight risk of an

:09:33.:09:43.

isolated shower, but not a lot to worry about. Friday will be cloudy,

:09:44.:09:47.

with the week weather from coming south. There will be some light

:09:48.:09:51.

drizzle, but not much to worry about. For Saturday and Sunday, a

:09:52.:09:53.

lot of dry weather. You can keep up to date with
