That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me and on | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
Victims say they were left in the dark over failure to agree on legacy | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
We think we have been left behind completely. It is shocking. | :00:21. | :00:38. | |
A Shankill pensioner asks why she is being repeatedly targeted | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
Ulster University scientists have made a major breakthrough | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
AP McCoy talks about life after racing at the premiere | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
In just over an hour, Ulster Rugby will kick-off | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
their European Cup campaign against the best team in English rugby. | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
It's a wintry start to the weekend with gales for some | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
and icy conditions developing in places, as well. | :01:01. | :01:12. | |
The First Minister says key documents on the legacy | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
of the Troubles which were part of the inter-party talks should be | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
Victims and survivors have called on politicians to apologise | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
for not including legacy issues in the 'Fresh Start' agreement. | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
Some victims told the BBC today that right up to the last minute | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
they were led to believe something was going to happen, but they were | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
Here's our political correspondent Chris Page. | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
The Troubles left a legacy of misery. | :01:43. | :01:43. | |
More than 3,500 people died and many more suffered dreadful injuries. | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
At the recent inter-party talks, there were discussions | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
on legislation to set up agencies which would examine the past. | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
But politicians didn't reach agreement on that issue. | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
That's not what members of the Victims' Forum expected. | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
It was a mixture of anger and disappointment. Because right up | :02:10. | :02:18. | |
until the very last minute we thought it was going to be a full | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
paper that came out. To think that we have just been left behind and | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
dismissed completely is shocking. We were led right to the water's edge, | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
so to speak. We were getting ready to discuss the finer detail of what | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
we thought was going to be draft legislation on the main issues. | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
Then, out of the blue, we were told it was all off. | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
They want an apology from those who signed the agreement. | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
I feel everybody has let them down. In some centre doesn't matter if one | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
party or another is more to blame for this. At the end of the day, | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
both governments and the parties need to support this. We need to | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
The DUP, Sinn Fein, and the British and Irish Governments are backing | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
the deal, which resolved issues around paramilitary activity | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
The First Minister thinks the key talks documents relating to | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
the legacy of the Troubles should be made public. | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
The victim set should have the opportunity to see what the problem | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
is where. I think it is a lack of respect to the vet them is that they | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
are not given that information. Let's give them all of the | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
information about what the situation is. Sinn Fein blamed the British | :03:41. | :03:50. | |
government. The problem is this term national security, which is being | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
used as a veto. The government has defended its negotiating position. | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
We want families to have as much information as possible that there | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
is a certain amount of sensitive information which it was publicly | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
known would potentially give assistance to terrorists. We simply | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
could not compromise on that. The Secretary of State is planning to | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
meet with thick them soon to discuss their concerns. The recent | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
negotiations have shown once again that there is no issue more | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
contentious or complex than how to deal with the past. Three men have | :04:24. | :04:33. | |
escaped injury in a shooting in west Belfast. They were sitting in a van | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
when a masked man opened fire at around 4:15 p.m.. The police are | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
An 88-year-old woman has been left badly shaken after being attacked | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
by three men who also ransacked her home. | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
They pulled the telephone out of the wall so she couldn't phone for help. | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
This isn't the first time we have reported on this Belfast | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
after two men had broken into her home off the Shankill, | :04:57. | :05:09. | |
Today, community worker Ian McLaughlin told me it's | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
This time, just before 7.00pm, allegedly three men entered her | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
She was slapped around the face several times and I think that | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
when she fell she either squealed or screamed very loudly, which perhaps | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
upset these people and they left the house with her purse and her | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
But these aren't the only times Josie Hamilton has | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
She was once robbed while walking along this stretch | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
A man even came to her door claiming he was returning money that had been | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
stolen from her, but she was robbed again. | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
In fact, her neighbour believes she has been robbed around five times | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
Her neighbour Marie didn't want to appear on camera. | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
She helped Josie in the moments after the robbery and | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
What kind of a state is she in today, Marie? | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
She's just crying and she's just sitting staring you know - she's | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
just saying why are they doing that to me? Why is this happening to me | :06:21. | :06:29. | |
I don't know these people - any money i've had I saved - and she | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
says I worked hard for my money when she was younger much younger - | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
and anything that she has she saves for her daughter, | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
her grandchildren, her great grandchildren, her funeral. | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
Despite what has happened - Josie told her neighbour that she | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
A senior judge has appealed for an end to a dispute between | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
defence lawyers and the Department of Justice over legal aid fees. | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
The row has led to delays in more than 500 court cases, | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
involving charges ranging from murder to drink driving. | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
Our Home Affairs correspondent Vincent Kearney reports. | :07:02. | :07:09. | |
New barristers at the start of the new legal year. For months now, many | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
of their senior colleagues and solicitors had been refusing to work | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
as defence lawyers on solicitors had been refusing to work | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
bid to have new legal aid rules which resulted in lower fees being | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
declared unlawful, but the judge said the new rules do not provide | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
fare pay the defence solicitors in some criminal cases. He also urged | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
the Department of Justice to speedily rectified the situation. | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
One of Northern Ireland's pussy nude judges, Lord Justice Wear, today | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
entered the fray. He said the dispute meant defendants charged | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
with what are often serious offences are unable to access the expert | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
legal advice they require and are, quite understandably, reluctant to | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
proceed without that advice. He said the dispute has resulted in a | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
significant and growing backlog. It has been revealed there is now a | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
backlog of just over 530 criminal cases involving nearly 630 | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
defendants. Speaking to barristers and solicitors during the review | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
court hearing to assess process and serious criminal cases, Lord Justice | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
Wear said defendants were increasingly concerned that the | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
delay. He said judges did not want to become involved in the dispute | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
but could see clearly the increasing adverse effect that was happening. | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
Lord Justice Wear said it wasn't everyone's interests for everyone | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
involved to do their very best to bring the matter during conclusion. | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
27 people have been arrested during an anti-crime operation | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
Six of the arrests were for drugs offences | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
20 properties were searched during the operation, | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
which happened yesterday, and there were 143 stop and searches. | :08:58. | :09:11. | |
Still to come. The berry singer songwriter Soak is up for the | :09:12. | :09:24. | |
Mercury Prize award tonight. -- the dairy singer. | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
A new discovery by scientists at the Ulster University is being | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
hailed as a global breakthrough in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
It's one of the most serious forms of cancer and only 4% of those | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
This new treatment makes use of bubbles and sound waves to | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
This is the front line of the battle against pancreatic cancer. Despite | :09:44. | :09:59. | |
much scientific research, low survival rates have not improved in | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
for decades. It is ethical to detect early and difficult to treat. The | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
satisfactorily as a pancreatic surgeon is that quite often we are | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
only able to carry out surgery to take the cancer away completely in | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
about 20% up to 25% of those who have surgery. Scientists here | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
believe they have had a breakthrough, targeting the tumour | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
is key. Traditional therapies like radiotherapy or chemotherapy | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
sometimes destroy good tissue, but this therapy uses Bubbles hundreds | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
of times smaller than the diameter of a human hair to tackle the | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
cancer. The bubbles are alluded to the core with oxygen and to the | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
outside of the bubble we attach a non-active drug. We can focus the | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
ultrasound at the pancreatic tumour, burst the bubble at the site, | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
release the oxygen and activate the drug dealing to the tumour reduction | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
effect. Scientists believe that reduction could be five times more | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
effective than current therapies. This treatment is not available yet | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
but it is hoped it will be soon. The first trials are a Jew to take place | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
in 2017. -- are due to take place. A pair of otters have been spotted | :11:15. | :11:31. | |
playing in the shadows recently, that is coming up. | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
One of the most prestigious music awards | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
is up for grabs tonight and in the running is Soak, the 19-year-old | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
She's on the shortlist for the Mercury Prize, | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
which is awarded to the best British or Irish album by an independent | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
This report from our North-West reporter, Keiron Tourish. | :11:47. | :12:00. | |
Bridie Monds-Watson, or Soak as she's known on stage, has had a | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
She left a local band to become a solo artist | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
"Before We Forgot How To dream" released this summer that's had the | :12:09. | :12:24. | |
All my songs are about things that I have experienced. When every GUI on | :12:25. | :12:43. | |
stage it is like the songs that you wrote alone you're sharing with | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
people and that leads to very vulnerable. It is nice that I am | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
able to share that the motion with other people and get something out | :12:53. | :13:00. | |
Undertones member and BBC Producer Michael Bradley | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
remembers a talented unassuming 15-year-old performing at | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
Nye days there are so many singers I'd hair, and so many great singers | :13:10. | :13:25. | |
and good musicians, that the rise above all that is a serious feat for | :13:26. | :13:39. | |
somebody so young. Soak's short listing for this music award is a | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
long way from the humble beginnings here along the banks of the River | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
Foyle were she played the small, intimate venues. Her family say they | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
are thrilled and delighted with the progress and the music critics say | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
she is a talented treasure. No one here disagrees with that. The best | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
It's not that often you get to spot one of our rare protected species, | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
so you can imagine the delight of two countryside rangers | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
when a couple of otters trotted up to within | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
a couple of feet of them and spent an hour snuffling around nearby. | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
Our Agriculture and Environment correspondent Conor Macauley | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
They are building a wildlife hides inside the shores of Strangford | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
Lough. It is an area rich in birds and mammals life which is managed by | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
The National Trust. Two of its countryside Rangers were doing some | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
work along the shore when a within a few feet of them. They sat | :14:34. | :14:43. | |
still hands for about 60 minutes watched as the two young otters, one | :14:44. | :14:45. | |
male and one female, watched as the two young otters, one | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
the mud flats right in front of them. Otters need to | :14:52. | :14:52. | |
the mud flats right in front of their body weight every day. They | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
would have been scavenging the shore looking for anything they | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
would have been scavenging the shore find. Hunger would have driven them | :15:02. | :15:02. | |
to ignore the humans. They came very close to | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
to ignore the humans. They came very not mind | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
to ignore the humans. They came very I have never personally had a | :15:16. | :15:23. | |
to ignore the humans. They came very to see a wild otter light. This was | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
something very inspiring. Otters were almost wiped out by pollution | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
here back in the 1970s. A combination of water quality and | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
conservation work and they are on their way back. | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
Here's Thomas Niblock. and the Ulster rugby team's European | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
It's 176 days until the European Champions Cup final and | :15:46. | :15:47. | |
if Ulster have any ambition in making it to the final, then, | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
realistically, they have to beat Saracens at home tonight. | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
The bad news is that Saracens are top of the English Premiership | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
The good news, however, is that Irish international Iain Henderson | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
Stepping in just in time for the start of Ulster's European campaign. | :16:00. | :16:18. | |
The Irish international will make his 50th Ulster appearance against | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
the English champions, opponents Ulster in the all too well. They are | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
always tough, whether we play over their order over here, they always | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
give us a good crack. They are well organised team and what they once. | :16:32. | :16:41. | |
They are well led by Owen Farrell at number ten. Leading from | :16:42. | :16:42. | |
They are well led by Owen Farrell at is Rory Best, who has | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
They are well led by Owen Farrell at winning side just once after losing | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
five of their last six meetings against Mark McCall's side. They | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
have been here the last couple of years and managed to win. For us, it | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
is all about making sure that we are prepared because you need to be at | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
the top of your game every prepared because you need to be at | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
seen in the past, if you lose a couple of games early on, there is | :17:09. | :17:10. | |
massive pressure couple of games early on, there is | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
afford any slip-ups. Neither team can take their eye off the ball at | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
the Kingspan Stadium tonight. There will be live coverage of | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
Ulster against Saracens on BBC Radio Croke Park in Dublin is the venue | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
for this year's International Rules Two years ago, a weak Australian | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
side were humiliated, beaten by 79 points, but the | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
tourists have arrived determined to make up for the 2013 embarrassment | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
with their strongest side ever. It is the best of the best. We | :17:36. | :17:49. | |
should the seriousness of it last year. We came to play last year. We | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
have been encamped for two weeks and the boys are very serious thinking | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
to do the same thing. The Irish boys, they are the same. We are a | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
proud nation. All the sports teams, they carry that pride on their | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
chest. They were hurt, they were disappointed by what happened, but | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
today is a new day and a new challenge for us. The bigger the | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
challenge they bring, the more we have to match that. | :18:25. | :18:25. | |
There will be live coverage on BBC Radio Ulster MW and online | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
of Ireland against Australia tomorrow evening. | :18:29. | :18:30. | |
Now, the curtain will come down on the international road racing | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
season when the Macau Grand Prix gets underway in the Far East. | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
Northern Ireland's Lee Johnston will start on the third row of the grid. | :18:38. | :18:39. | |
The Macau Grand Prix is regarded as the most challenging motor cycle | :18:40. | :18:51. | |
race in the world. Our unique street circuit where the top row grifters | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
will battle it out tomorrow. I will be trying as hard as I did at the | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
north-west, the TT just the rest. Everybody will drive hard. I am | :19:06. | :19:13. | |
looking forward to it. There is no reason why we can't do well here. As | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
Lee Johnston did at the reason why we can't do well here. As | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
Prix when he won a hat-trick earlier this year, but he is determined to | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
secure more international success. It is massive, especially at this | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
side of the world. It is nice to win races at home, obviously, but this | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
opens up a whole other shop window. If you look at the list of names, | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
the people that have won it from Grand Prix riders and everything, so | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
would definitely be nice. If he is to win, Johnson will have to be | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
Martin Jessop, who is in pole position. Just two riders from | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
Northern Ireland have won this Grand Prix, Robert Dunlop and Philip | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
McCallum, almost 20 years ago. Now Lee Johnston from County Fermanagh | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
has the chance to write his name into the record books. | :20:05. | :20:06. | |
Last night saw the premiere in Dublin of a new documentary | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
movie about this man, AP McCoy, and his final two years as a jockey. | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
Being AP follows the 20-time champion jockey as he battles back | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
from injury and then arrives at the difficult decision to retire. | :20:18. | :20:19. | |
McCoy has spoken to Mark Sidebottom, who asked what he made of life | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
on the red carpet compared to that in the saddle. | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
I would much rather be riding, all right. The film was something I was | :20:31. | :20:38. | |
Asta Diakite years ago and they nearly did it because of Archie, my | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
little boy, because he never remembered me riding. I did not | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
think we would ever get to see it in a cinema, but there you go! He has | :20:47. | :20:59. | |
taken 18 championship jockey titles, AP McCoy. Does this get to the | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
essence of AP McCoy? They were with me for the best part of two years, I | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
think. Nearly 200 hours of filming. They spent a lot of time in my home, | :21:11. | :21:18. | |
in my life, in my car, so they did not have great material to work | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
with, but I think the did the best they could with that. I am still | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
unsure, what drives you more, the fear of losing or the drug of | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
winning? I don't know. I have been asked a lot of times. I used to | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
think when I went home at night after having a good day, if I had | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
had four or five winners, I used to go to bed thinking I was really | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
happy, but by the time a get to sleep I was worried that may happen | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
again. There was a fear. Maybe it was the fear. How comfortable are | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
you with your own celebrity? I get the impression that for you it has | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
always been about success and not about fame. All I ever wanted to do | :22:01. | :22:09. | |
was ride horses. When I was lucky to do that all they ever wanted to do | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
was win. I was never bothered what people thought, to be honest. In a | :22:14. | :22:21. | |
way I am not very proud to admit, I was always very wrapped up in my own | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
little world and never cared what was going on outside that. I think | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
that is probably what kept me going for 20 years, living in my own | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
little world help me do that. -- helped. It is a fabulous film. | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
More wintry weather is in store for the weekend. | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
Angie Phillips has her latest forecast. | :22:45. | :22:54. | |
The cold air is well and truly digging in at the moment. That is | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
how we start the weekend. It will be bitterly cold with that winds and | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
there are more wintry showers in the forecast. Sunday doesn't like a | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
slightly better day, dryer and a bit brighter, but it will feel cold. | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
Today, the cold air has been sinking its way southwards. The white | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
lines, they will continue to get closer together. It is certainly | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
going to be a blustery evening with sleet and snow showers. Many | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
blizzard continuance -- conditions are likely. If you're heading to the | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
Kingspan Stadium he will certainly needs your thermals on against the | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
wind chill. We have a weather warning in place for the night for | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
wind. Deals or severe gales are likely, particularly in the north | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
and east. Gusts up to 60 miles an hour on the coast. They eventually | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
will drive the sleet and snow showers southwards, leaving a | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
dusting over the hills. With temperatures falling away back to | :24:00. | :24:01. | |
freezing or slightly below overnight, it could lead to icy | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
conditions for tomorrow morning. It'll be very unpleasant on the | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
roads in places. To take extra care. So, and icy start to the weekend for | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
some and we will still have a bitter wind blowing through tomorrow. More | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
wintry showers to come for a time as well. They will start to move in | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
from the north and west. It will be held wintry mix. They | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
from the north and west. It will be later in the morning and we will get | :24:29. | :24:29. | |
brighter spell for a time before later in the morning and we will get | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
more showers coming in the afternoon, but this time they will | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
mostly be following as rain. It will feel cold with highs of only five or | :24:38. | :24:44. | |
6 degrees. In the tomorrow night, blustery winds but still breezy and | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
calls with showers around. Sunday doesn't dryer and brighter. | :24:49. | :24:54. |
