Mark Simpson in Westminster. A huge majority for the government. | :00:55. | :01:12. | |
That was a surprise but what was not was what happened in terms of | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
Northern Ireland MPs. 11 out of the 14 voted in favour of the government | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
motion, the three SDLP MPs against, but all the unionists voted in | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
favour of the government motion. Let's talk to Ian Paisley from the | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
DUP. Your reaction to the size of the majority? That was decisive. | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
These are not easy decisions, they are difficult calls but this battle | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
is already on our streets. We are already under threat and we have to | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
take that white back to them. What you say to viewers to think you have | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
a huge mistake, another Iraq about to happen. Armchair generals are | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
good at giving you advice that we have to decide on the evidence in | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
front of us now. We are in present danger and the aeroplane that was | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
low enough over the peninsula in Sinai could have been destined for | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
the UK, there could have been 300 British citizens kills. This battle | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
is on our doorstep and we have to take it back to them. Just to recap, | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
11 out of 14 MPs from Northern Ireland back the government motion, | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
and it means within the next 48 hours those air strikes against | :02:38. | :02:38. | |

speaking to MPs who took part That's on BBC Radio Ulster | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
starting at 6:30am. Detectives have revealed that | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
a witness has contacted them with significant new information | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
for their investigation It's alleged | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
the unit shot unarmed civilians A member of the public phoned | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
the police shortly after their appeal for witnesses to | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
two killings and other shootings. Our home affairs correspondent, | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
Vincent Kearney, reports. 43 years ago, members of a secret | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
army unit used unmarked cars to There were 40 members of what was | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
called the Military Reaction Force. Two years ago, a BBC Panorama | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
programme broadcast claims by former members who said the unit | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
had shot unarmed civilians as part They spoke on condition that | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
their identities were disguised. We were not there to act | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
like an army unit. We were there to act | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
like a terror group. We were not a death squad. We were | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
there to do a job, to eliminate After the programme was broadcast, | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
the Director of Public Prosecutions instructed | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
the PSNI to investigate the claims. This morning, the police issued | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
an appeal for anyone with information about the army unit's | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
alleged activities to come forward. They also released maps showing | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
the locations, dates and times of 18 shooting incidents, including | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
the killings of 44-year-old Patrick McVeigh in May 1972, and 18-year-old | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
Daniel Rooney four months later. Hours after making the appeal, | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
the detective leading the investigation said there had | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
been a potential breakthrough. Today, I have had significant new | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
information into my investigation. A member of the public, a witness, | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
has phoned in 43 years later and that gives me great encouragement | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
and I would appeal to anyone, 43 years later, whatever information | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
you have, it may not be significant to you but it could be | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
highly significant to my The witness has provided me with | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
significant new information, That news has been welcomed | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
by the daughter of one of the men I'm delighted to hear it. | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
The more the merrier. That's good, very good. | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
I'm glad to hear it. It could be a vital piece | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
of information that could be used The MRF operated in West Belfast | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
for 18 months All records | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
of its activities were destroyed. A 12-year-old boy was hit | :05:20. | :05:28. | |
by a car near East Belfast this afternoon and is in | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
a critical condition in hospital. He was on his way home | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
from school when he was knocked down on Ballygowan Road | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
at its junctions with Manse Road Police investigating a bomb attack | :05:38. | :05:56. | |
at a hotel due to hold a BS in my recruitment event have arrested two | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
men. The hotel in Londonderry was threatened in the sober and the | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
event was cancelled because of safety fears. -- in October. | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
There's controversy in Newry over a new big TV screen | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
The council says it will help create a social hub. | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
The church says it wasn't consulted and wants it removed. | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
Newry Cathedral is one of the city's most iconic buildings | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
and its newest neighbour is at the heart of a holy row. | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
We just want it moved. It has to be moved. | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
There is an absolute outcry by the parishioners here in Newry | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
As residents on Hill Street, there was absolutely no consultation. | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
As part of the planning application, the planners have | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
a responsibility to publicly advertise the applications. | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
It is obviously in the shadow of the cathedral. | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
People aren't happy with that, what is your answer to them? | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
My view is that this is an event space for the city centre. | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
The council intend using this for a large number of events. | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
We think the location is perfect for all of the events | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
Work is ongoing but the big screen will be up and running | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
It's cost around ?110,000 and the council says it will show | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
a range of things from Christmas films to football at next | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
I think it's a bit of an eyesore, to be honest with you. | :07:26. | :07:35. | |
It's blocking the view of our beautiful cathedral. | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
I know social media is giving it a hard time at the minute but | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
if it improves the town centre or city centre it has to be good. | :07:45. | :07:54. | |
It's been a mild start to winter this year, | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
but this time five years ago we were about to enter the big freeze. | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
Weather records were shattered as thermometers plunged well | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
It caused headache and misery, but also excitement. | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
On tomorrow's programme we'll be looking back at the coldest December | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
That's here on BBC One at 6:30pm tomorrow. | :08:09. | :08:20. | |
Thankfully things are milder than that. Here's Cecilia. It's dry and | :08:21. | :08:33. | |
will stay dry through the night. Some clear skies around so it will | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
get quite chilly, we could have frost by the end of the night across | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
parts of the West and up towards the north coast, where we expect our | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
lowest temperatures. A chilly start tomorrow, you may need to scrape the | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
car windscreen, but not everywhere. It will start dry everywhere but not | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
necessarily stay dry. The best sunshine will be across the North | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
and West, so dear skies towards Belfast, down and Armagh will | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
threaten some rain and that is due to this weather front which will | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
move north before it starts -- stops. South of the weather front, | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
cloudier skies but dry weather and mouth towards London but in this | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
area of rain some of it will be quite heavily. Dublin, Cork, heavy | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
rain here and a weather warning for Wales and parts of England. First | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
some of Northern Ireland tomorrow afternoon, especially Belfast and | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
associate it will be chilly, some rain for a time but it will dry up | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
in the afternoon. Thursday night dry, quite cold, maybe some frost | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
and ice, milder weather returns on Friday but some rain in the second | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
half of the date and on Friday night it will get wet and windy. Unsettled | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
weather for a time this weekend, heavy rain and strong winds on | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
Saturday but a nice day on Sunday. Our next BBC Newsline is at 6:25am | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
