A former member of the Parachute Regiment who was arrested

:00:00.:00:09.

by police investigating the Bloody Sunday shootings has been released

:00:10.:00:12.

The man was detained in Northern Ireland just yesterday morning.

:00:13.:00:18.

I'm joined from the newsroom by our reporter Maggie Taggart.

:00:19.:00:20.

We learnt yesterday that a 66-year-old former soldier had

:00:21.:00:24.

been taken in for questioning by the police in County Antrim

:00:25.:00:26.

about the murder of three civil rights protesters in Londonderry.

:00:27.:00:30.

13 people were killed on Bloody Sunday in 1972 after the army

:00:31.:00:33.

opened fire on crowds of protesters in the Bogside in Londonderry.

:00:34.:00:39.

It is understood this soldier was one

:00:40.:00:41.

of those who gave evidence to the Saville Inquiry into the killings.

:00:42.:00:43.

Five years ago, in 2010, the Prime Minister apologised

:00:44.:00:46.

and said none of those who died had been posing a threat.

:00:47.:00:51.

At the time, police said a murder enquiry was underway.

:00:52.:00:53.

Families say the police told them they had eight suspects.

:00:54.:01:00.

The first arrest, a 66-year-old former member of the Parachute

:01:01.:01:03.

Regiment, was taken from his home in County Antrim and questioned

:01:04.:01:06.

in a Belfast police station about the death of John Young,

:01:07.:01:09.

The arrest was welcomed by families, who have been complaining

:01:10.:01:17.

about the slow progress of the police investigation.

:01:18.:01:20.

Now we learn that the former soldier has been released,

:01:21.:01:23.

The mother of an eight-year-old boy killed while walking to catch the

:01:24.:01:31.

school bus a year ago today says she still blames the Education Board.

:01:32.:01:35.

Adam Gilmour's mum, Sarah, and brothers and sisters were also

:01:36.:01:38.

Today, the education authority said its thoughts were with the family

:01:39.:01:43.

circle on the first anniversary of his sad and tragic death.

:01:44.:01:47.

Since Adam died, the family have moved from the house.

:01:48.:01:50.

A year on, with heavy hearts and still consumed by grief. Hammam,

:01:51.:02:08.

dad, granny and ant what the short distance to the scene of the

:02:09.:02:13.

horrific crash that claimed the life of eight-year-old Adam. The physical

:02:14.:02:18.

injuries are still there, too. Adam's mum and brothers were also

:02:19.:02:22.

badly hurt, but every day the family deal with the brutal reality that he

:02:23.:02:28.

is gone. The kids are all finding it really hard. I would say mostly Kyle

:02:29.:02:37.

and Rhys. Kyle is lost without him. Him and Adam were together doing

:02:38.:02:42.

everything. Rees sort of stopped speaking, he still speaks, but not

:02:43.:02:47.

very much. He is very quiet and withdrawn. Sarah had worn the

:02:48.:02:52.

education authorities that the walk to the bus stop was not safe. There

:02:53.:02:57.

was no footpath for part of it and it was on a bad end, but even she

:02:58.:03:00.

could not have imagined that are worst fears would be realised. I

:03:01.:03:07.

went to Jim Allister and said to him I need your help, I can't get this

:03:08.:03:13.

bus. It is not the distance, I am not complaining about that. I said

:03:14.:03:17.

to him one morning we will get skittled, but I never thought to

:03:18.:03:21.

three weeks later it would happen, never. They had done what I had for

:03:22.:03:25.

Adam would be at school and everything would be fine. So, I say

:03:26.:03:31.

it again, I hold them responsible for what happened. Here in his

:03:32.:03:36.

granny's guard and his brothers and sisters have planted a little

:03:37.:03:42.

memorial garden. Should I live to be a hundred, that scene will never

:03:43.:03:48.

leave, never. School bags and shoes and coats lying across the road. We

:03:49.:03:57.

baby's buddies, twisted and useless. For everyone who loved

:03:58.:04:02.

Adam, today is just as difficult as every other day they have had to

:04:03.:04:06.

MLAs from all parties have joined in an act of remembrance at Stormont

:04:07.:04:10.

to mark Armistice Day, but nationalists and the Alliance Party

:04:11.:04:12.

say they're disappointed at an impromptu singing of the national

:04:13.:04:15.

This report by our political correspondent

:04:16.:04:19.

Chris Page begins with the Assembly Speaker, Mitchel McLaughlin.

:04:20.:04:28.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.

:04:29.:04:37.

Stormont's first Republican speaker joined with his deputies in leading

:04:38.:04:41.

the Assembly's act of remembrance. MLAs from all parties joined in the

:04:42.:04:47.

silence at 11 o'clock. The national anthem was not on the programme but

:04:48.:04:56.

as the event ended, this happen. SINGING..

:04:57.:05:05.

Most unionists seem to join in the spontaneous rendition of God Save

:05:06.:05:11.

The Queen. Sinn Fein said it was not in the spirit of the occasion. It

:05:12.:05:16.

was inclusive. There was no music, no anthems. It was scripture and

:05:17.:05:21.

poetry that was read out. It comprised of Members of the Assembly

:05:22.:05:26.

from all backgrounds. I just felt it was very disappointing that someone

:05:27.:05:32.

decided, forward ever reason, to pull a stunt at the end. The SDLP

:05:33.:05:38.

saw it -- said it was unfortunate. The Alliance said it was a moving of

:05:39.:05:45.

them but some people thought otherwise. I don't see why anybody

:05:46.:05:54.

should be offended I have this year. If you watch a recording of what

:05:55.:05:58.

took place, the vast majority of people who attended obviously felt

:05:59.:06:02.

that we should have been singing the national anthem as well because they

:06:03.:06:06.

joined in with me. I always on the national anthem and it is part of

:06:07.:06:09.

the normal remembrance service, therefore I think it is normal that

:06:10.:06:14.

it was sung today. I welcome the fact that we had people from all

:06:15.:06:18.

parties. I think that is a step forward. The Ulster Unionist leader

:06:19.:06:24.

spoke to Martin McGuinness after the ceremony and apologised for what he

:06:25.:06:31.

called a stunt. The national anthem in my opinion should be part of the

:06:32.:06:34.

ceremony but everybody should know that it is part of the ceremony. I

:06:35.:06:39.

don't think it is good that people feel ambushed and embarrassed. I

:06:40.:06:43.

would not like that to happen to me. As he worked through this decade,

:06:44.:06:47.

there should be no surprises. Tonight, the lighting at Parliament

:06:48.:06:55.

buildings reflects remembrance. There is more consensus around

:06:56.:06:59.

commemoration now than there has been in the past, but today's and

:07:00.:07:03.

then show there are still contentious issues.

:07:04.:07:06.

Almost another 200 jobs are being lost at manufacturing companies.

:07:07.:07:08.

100 of them will be at Caterpillar which has facilities in Larne,

:07:09.:07:11.

Another 40 jobs are to go at Londonderry textile firm Invista.

:07:12.:07:15.

In Carrickfergus, Schrader Electronics said it was ending the

:07:16.:07:17.

The Fire Service say it could be several days before they can

:07:18.:07:29.

establish the cause of a blaze at a disused recycling plant

:07:30.:07:31.

It's thought the site at Maydown contained thousands of tonnes

:07:32.:07:35.

Almost 50 firefighters were deployed and people living nearby were urged

:07:36.:07:39.

to keep their doors and windows closed.

:07:40.:07:46.

A twilight market in Belfast city centre tonight has drawn large

:07:47.:07:49.

crowds to the free event featuring top chefs and local food companies.

:07:50.:07:52.

It may have been the first evening opening for the St George's Food

:07:53.:07:55.

Market, but lots of people were eager to sample it and hundreds

:07:56.:07:58.

They were treated to an array of artisan foods, pop up

:07:59.:08:02.

restaurants, food tastings and chef demonstrations showcasing the city's

:08:03.:08:04.

The weather forecast now with Angie Philips.

:08:05.:08:16.

Good evening. Storm Abigail is still developing out in the Atlantic and

:08:17.:08:22.

it will be deepening, moving in towards the north-west of the Duce

:08:23.:08:27.

to bring a wild spell. The night in comparison is quite tame. Sure I

:08:28.:08:33.

read rain clearing away the Leeds dries spells. Quite cool, six or

:08:34.:08:37.

seven in the towns, Laura in the countryside. Heading into tomorrow,

:08:38.:08:41.

this is the deepening gloom that is Abigail that will bring Stormy

:08:42.:08:46.

weather across parts of northern and western Scotland, but even here in

:08:47.:08:49.

Northern Ireland we will see strong winds developing. We have rain in

the forecast, as well begin with as it is mainly dry start. Already, the

:08:55.:09:03.

southerly wind picking up. Mainly dry and bright across much of

:09:04.:09:05.

England and Wales, Easter in Scotland, though eventually we will

:09:06.:09:09.

start to see the cloud moving its way used it in the afternoon. Still

:09:10.:09:14.

mild in the south of 16 degrees. You can see the weather front bringing

:09:15.:09:20.

heavy spells of rain. In the West of Scotland is where we could see the

:09:21.:09:25.

disruptive wind tomorrow night. In Northern Ireland, we will have dual

:09:26.:09:28.

Force twins initially from the south, but they will change

:09:29.:09:30.

direction behind that weather front. It is tomorrow evening when

:09:31.:09:37.

we could see the highest wind dust with plenty of showers rattling

:09:38.:09:43.

through, just south to 60 mph. Still blustery in the Friday and colder

:09:44.:09:46.

with the wind chill, showers which could be wintry on the Hill, and
