Here on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.

:00:00.:00:09.

A report into child sexual exploitation in Northern Ireland

:00:10.:00:15.

says the police made no sustained effort to find out

:00:16.:00:18.

who was responsible for abusing children being looked after in care.

:00:19.:00:21.

The authors of the review into ten of more than 22 cases reported

:00:22.:00:24.

are critical of the authorities for not doing enough

:00:25.:00:26.

Operation Owl was the police investigation into the alleged

:00:27.:00:30.

sexual abuse of 22 young people in care here.

:00:31.:00:36.

Now a report by the Safeguarding Board for Northern

:00:37.:00:38.

Ireland has looked into how the police handled ten

:00:39.:00:40.

It says police officers were effective in locating

:00:41.:00:43.

and returning the teenagers, but that they failed

:00:44.:00:45.

to find and stop the alleged abusers.

:00:46.:00:47.

It calls that effort "limited and inconsistent".

:00:48.:00:51.

And it says they failed to properly examine

:00:52.:00:59.

the extent of child sexual exploitation taking place.

:01:00.:01:01.

The report's main author says a much clearer focus is needed.

:01:02.:01:05.

Who is it that is prepared to exploit these vulnerable children,

:01:06.:01:14.

and how is it we best disrupt these people and how, if profitable and

:01:15.:01:18.

appropriate, can we get the prosecution of these people? -- if

:01:19.:01:21.

possible and appropriate. In a statement

:01:22.:01:21.

the head of the PSNI's Public Protection branch says

:01:22.:01:23.

they welcomed the report, and the opportunity

:01:24.:01:25.

to further examine how the PSNI and our partner agencies

:01:26.:01:27.

are dealing with this very important The Safeguarding Board now wants

:01:28.:01:30.

to review the situation again. In 12-months' time there should be a

:01:31.:01:59.

further audit of what is being done, too, if you like, keep the momentum

:02:00.:02:05.

going. -- to keep the momentum going.

:02:06.:02:08.

The Stormont Health Minister Simon Hamilton has

:02:09.:02:10.

And there'll be more on this story on Good Morning Ulster tomorrow

:02:11.:02:14.

The level of Lough Erne is continuing rise,

:02:15.:02:17.

It has gone up by two inches in the past 24 hours,

:02:18.:02:21.

and is now just six inches below the 2009 peak which saw large parts

:02:22.:02:24.

Here's our South West reporter Julian Fowler.

:02:25.:02:30.

If you're going for a swim at the Lakeland Forum Leisure Centre,

:02:31.:02:33.

you could get wet before you get to the pool.

:02:34.:02:36.

Even going to catch a bus at the depot in Enniskillen

:02:37.:02:38.

As can finding a parking spot in the town, or somewhere

:02:39.:02:46.

The disruption caused by slowly rising water is spreading.

:02:47.:02:55.

But it is rural areas that continue to be worst affected.

:02:56.:02:59.

There are a number of areas like this around Upper Lough Erne

:03:00.:03:02.

affected by the flood water.

:03:03.:03:03.

Most are managing to cope but if the levels get any higher,

:03:04.:03:06.

plans are being put in place to help those who may find

:03:07.:03:09.

The emergency services and government agencies are working

:03:10.:03:13.

together to reach those who need to get essential

:03:14.:03:15.

We provided services to a family who had been trapped.

:03:16.:03:28.

A family of seven, including five children.

:03:29.:03:32.

The operators of two hydroelectric dams at Ballyshannon say

:03:33.:03:34.

they are discharging, at the maximum rate,

:03:35.:03:35.

At the moment, the loch is filling up faster than it can get out.

:03:36.:03:49.

The Secretary of State Theresa Villiers says she'll meet victims'

:03:50.:03:52.

groups next week amid an ongoing row over the Government's position

:03:53.:03:54.

Two victims' groups today accused her of failing to deliver

:03:55.:03:58.

on a commitment made in the Stormont House Agreement,

:03:59.:04:00.

by insisting upon a veto on material to protect national security.

:04:01.:04:04.

But Ms Villiers said the veto is essential,

:04:05.:04:06.

and she wants the process to be transparent.

:04:07.:04:09.

And the way we have proposed to do that is to have a direct right of

:04:10.:04:17.

appeal to the High Court saw families can be confident that the

:04:18.:04:23.

veto power would never be misused -- so families can be confident. It is

:04:24.:04:30.

crystal clear it will be separate from the Government and if any

:04:31.:04:32.

Secretary of State were trying, as you have alleged, to cover up the

:04:33.:04:36.

truth, that would be overturned by the High Court.

:04:37.:04:37.

And you can see more of that interview on The View

:04:38.:04:40.

Stormont departments are being told to plan for cuts of up to 10%.

:04:41.:04:44.

They're due to get details of how much cash they're losing by way

:04:45.:04:47.

Senior civil servants have already begun to brief Stormont committees

:04:48.:04:51.

of the impact the cuts will be on their departments.

:04:52.:04:53.

One senior official from the Department of Social Development

:04:54.:04:55.

explained today how it would deal with the cuts.

:04:56.:04:59.

We would be seeking to provide a suite of options to the Minister

:05:00.:05:06.

which would have a range within them. As you say, smaller or bigger

:05:07.:05:11.

cuts in particular areas, consequences being outlined and also

:05:12.:05:16.

outlining possibly somewhere where we would suggest stopping

:05:17.:05:20.

altogether, giving the level of the cuts we have already sustained, it

:05:21.:05:24.

is impossible to deliver the same with less now at this stage.

:05:25.:05:25.

Two men have been charged in connection with a drugs find

:05:26.:05:28.

Police said cocaine and benzocaine with an estimated street value

:05:29.:05:32.

of almost ?750,000 were seized during searches of five houses

:05:33.:05:35.

and two cars yesterday in Portadown and Craigavon.

:05:36.:05:37.

The men, who are both 32, are due to appear before

:05:38.:05:40.

Craigavon Magistrates Court in the morning.

:05:41.:05:41.

Rory McIlroy was in Belfast tonight with his new fiancee Erica Stoll

:05:42.:05:44.

as the couple attended a charity function organised by former Ulster

:05:45.:05:47.

and Ireland rugby player Paddy Wallace.

:05:48.:05:54.

Speaking before the event to Stephen Watson, the Holywood man

:05:55.:05:56.

It is very, you know, it Israeli important to me and over the past

:05:57.:06:07.

few years it has become increasingly more difficult -- is really

:06:08.:06:11.

important. Any time I do get to spend at home, I relish it and enjoy

:06:12.:06:16.

it and make sure I have a good time with my friends and family. With a

:06:17.:06:23.

new fiance as well, congratulations. Thank you, yes. Everything in my

:06:24.:06:29.

life is going great and I couldn't be more happy with how the season

:06:30.:06:33.

ended and obviously without the year has ended. Nice to bring Erica with

:06:34.:06:39.

you tonight. She enjoys coming with you to Northern Ireland? She loves

:06:40.:06:42.

it here actually. She really does. We have become quite close with

:06:43.:06:49.

Paddy and Tina, Paddy's wife as well, so we come back, she is more

:06:50.:06:54.

comfortable and get to know more people, so it is great. The next

:06:55.:06:58.

time you will be back in this building will be for the Sports

:06:59.:07:03.

Personality Of The Year Awards. How excited are you by that event and

:07:04.:07:06.

how big a deal is it for Northern Ireland? I am really looking forward

:07:07.:07:12.

to it. The sports personality over the past few years is moving around,

:07:13.:07:16.

Manchester, Scotland, London and here. I think it is great, all these

:07:17.:07:21.

great events coming to Belfast and Northern Ireland, it can do the city

:07:22.:07:24.

and the Province good and show off what we have here. How did your eye

:07:25.:07:32.

surgery go? A success? Yes, I had it yesterday evening in Dublin and I

:07:33.:07:35.

woke up this morning and it was like a whole new world, it was

:07:36.:07:38.

incredible. I have struggled with my eyesight now for ten to 15 years,

:07:39.:07:44.

with contact lenses and glasses, but now I don't have to worry about any

:07:45.:07:50.

of that. As well, I think it should hopefully improve me on the golf

:07:51.:07:52.

course a little bit, just make everything a bit sharper as well,

:07:53.:07:56.

another positive to take into next year. Good news for all of us golf

:07:57.:08:05.

fans, maybe not much for the opposition. Enjoy the rest of your

:08:06.:08:09.

night. Back to you. These are the scenes from county Antrim tonight.

:08:10.:08:13.

Drivers had to content with tricky conditions in the snow showers. So

:08:14.:08:18.

onto the forecast for tomorrow and the rest of the weekend.

:08:19.:08:21.

Now with the weather forecast here's Cecilia.

:08:22.:08:25.

A chilly one tonight. It will stay cold over the next few days, and

:08:26.:08:30.

there will be more rain for the coming weekend. Sleet and snow

:08:31.:08:34.

showers in place as tonight. Lying snow over the high ground of Derry

:08:35.:08:40.

and Antrim, but not exclusively. Temperatures are also dropping to

:08:41.:08:43.

around freezing so watch out for some ace tomorrow morning. It will

:08:44.:08:47.

be a wintry start to the day -- some ice. Through the morning rush hour

:08:48.:08:52.

is well. You can see snow almost anywhere for a time but any lying

:08:53.:08:55.

snow will mainly be over high ground. In between there will be

:08:56.:08:59.

sunshine and the showers will ease later in the day. Strong winds

:09:00.:09:03.

across the North coast and also for Scotland, bringing frequent snow

:09:04.:09:06.

showers to the hills, and also for the high ground of northern England.

:09:07.:09:12.

Further south, across Wales and the Midlands, and eventually the

:09:13.:09:14.

Southern counties of England, it will brighten up with some sunshine

:09:15.:09:17.

and eventually become dry. In the Republic of Ireland a lot of fine

:09:18.:09:21.

weather to come to. The rains will ease tomorrow afternoon and most of

:09:22.:09:27.

the showers will ease away as well. And improving picture tomorrow. It

:09:28.:09:30.

will be called and stay cold tomorrow night, though, with frost

:09:31.:09:38.

and ice once again. In new area of low-pressure coming northwards,

:09:39.:09:42.

bringing rain for Saturday, Sunday and into Monday, some of which could

:09:43.:09:45.

be heavy with even snow over the high ground. The risk of further

:09:46.:09:50.

flooding and disruption therefore particularly across the Western

:09:51.:09:54.

counties so do stay tuned for the forecasts.

:09:55.:09:55.
