Good evening and welcome to BBC Newsline. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
The Chief Constable of the PSNI has dismissed claims that the RUC had | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
advance warning of the 1993 Shankill bombing. | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
Yesterday, the Police Ombudsman confirmed it had received | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
a complaint alleging the RUC had information which would have allowed | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
George Hamilton was speaking at an event at Queen's University. | :00:17. | :00:30. | |
As I sit here tonight, I am 100% convinced that the police service at | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
the time had no knowledge of the Shankill bombing that could have | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
prevented it from happening. And that statement will be tested, | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
investigated and found to be right or otherwise by the Police | :00:48. | :00:48. | |
Ombudsman. The chief constable also told | :00:49. | :00:49. | |
the event that he wasn't sure that his officers will be able | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
to deliver justice to the victims A legal review is being carried out | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
into almost one hundred legacy killings and the police have been | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
criticised for taking too long to hand over classified | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
files to the courts. He said the current infrastructure | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
is inadequate to deal with the sheer weight of material | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
under examination. When you get a Zune Army of requests | :01:07. | :01:21. | |
coming in from the court through judicial reviews, and other | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
challenges, and every single one of those is a compelling case and it | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
has legal weight behind it and judicial authority for us to do | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
this, actually the whole organisation is going to grind to a | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
halt and that is the mess that we are in around this. | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
A family whose home was badly damaged by fire say it was caused | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
by a hoverboard while it was charging. | :01:49. | :01:49. | |
Last month some of the major retailers recalled the popular toy | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
Our Reporter Louise Cullen has been to the house in East Belfast. | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
It is really only as you come into the house here that you can see the | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
extent of the damage that was caused when the fire started shortly before | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
seven o'clock last night. The ladies in the house say that this | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
hoverboard exploded and caused huge amounts of damage. Sitting here in | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
the living room where Sharon Massey and her daughters and her | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
nine-month-old granddaughter, what happened? I was sitting on the sofa | :02:22. | :02:29. | |
feeding my granddaughter and Summer and Courtney were on the sofa on | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
their phones and I was feeding her and we heard this almighty bang and | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
it completely burst into flames and in a matter of seconds, everything | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
was on fire. I just threw the dinner and grabbed the tried and got out | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
the door as quick as possible. How long have you had the hoverboard? It | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
has been charged a few times since December, it was a Christmas | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
present. I have been very careful with it. I would not have charged | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
that if there was not someone in the house to watch it. You are starting | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
dialysis tomorrow. I have been attending the City Hospital for over | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
years and years but I have been on the kidney transplant list for over | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
a year and I have an appointment tomorrow, I am receiving dialysis. | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
In the middle of it, you need to find somewhere new to live and | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
replace belongings. Yes, as if I do not have enough stress. The remains | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
of the hoverboard are still in the corner of the living room, you can | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
see the damage that has been caused, the entire house is covered in soot | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
and Sharon and her family are looking for a new home. | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
In a world first, 3D printing technology has enabled | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
and County Antrim toddler to get a life-saving kidney transplant. | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
The organ was donated by Lucy Boucher's father. | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
The printing technology allowed surgeons to build a paper model | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
and then work out exactly how they could fit his adult kidney | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Our Health Correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly met | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
Chris Boucher reading his daughter her favourite book. These two have | :04:02. | :04:21. | |
their own unique story. Lucy's health complications began when she | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
was four weeks old, suffering heart failure which impacted on her bowel | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
and kidneys. While it is common for children to receive dialysis, | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
surgeons in London felt a kidney transplant was her best option. With | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
her father a perfect match, a 3-D printer enabled the team to build a | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
replica of his kidney and her stomach so they could best | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
understand how to proceed with the complex operation. It is strange. If | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
you think about it too much it becomes a bit hard to get your head | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
around and a bit overwhelming that there is now part of you that is | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
inside your daughter giving her all this energy and growth and | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
visibility to do things that she could not do before. It means she | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
does not have to on dialysis. It really... You can get quite | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
emotional thinking about it. The pioneering technique made it onto | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
the Victoria Derbyshire programme. The family who spoke from the County | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
Antrim home linked up with the surgeon in London. This is Chris's | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
kidney, you can see the size discrepancy, it is trying to place | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
that in the appropriate position inside Lucy's abdomen. It helps us | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
with not only planning that approach but thinking about our incision, how | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
we are going to approach the vessels and the best light of the kidney | :05:46. | :05:56. | |
inside the abdomen. Lucy turned three last week, it is a milestone | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
the family thought they would never see. The prognosis is good, we are | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
hoping that his kidney will last for more than 20 years, hopefully into | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
adult hood. By then, who knows what will happen. While your story | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
highlights the health challenges some children have to face, it also | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
shows how technology and the health service are constantly saving lives. | :06:22. | :06:32. | |
A happy little girl after her life-saving surgery. | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
The Assistant Chief Constable has offered to meet the family | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
of Gerard Hampson from Londonderry to apologise over the police | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
investigation into his disappearance and subsequent death. | :06:42. | :06:42. | |
The Ombudsman said there were serious failings in how | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
officers reacted to the case and recommended that ten | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
Here's our North-West reporter, Keiron Tourish. | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
53-year-old Gerard Hampson, a former Republican prisoner disappeared in | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
November 2000 seven. At the time he was wanted by the police in | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
connection with an alleged kidnapping in the Republic. Six | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
weeks later his naked body was found washed up on the shore of Loch Nate | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
Newton Bridge. A postmortem was inconclusive, but a pathologist | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
concluded that there must be considerable suspicions around the | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
death. It is still unclear how he died. After a complaint from the | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
family, the Police Ombudsman identified what he described as | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
serious failings in the police investigation. We found that the | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
investigation into the disappearance of Gerard Hampson was inconsistent, | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
actions that should have been taken were not taken, people did not take | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
responsibility for actions that they should have completed and no one | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
gripped those initial import and first apps of the enquiry. As a | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
consequence of that, the family were left none the wiser as to what had | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
happened to him. It was disgraceful. They would not treat a dog in the | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
street like they treated my family. Just because he was from a | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
Republican background. They cast him off. Doctor McGuire said it was a | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
bad investigation that failed the family. He said that these failings | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
had not been motivated by a desire from police to cover up a crime. I | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
think the failings were because we wanted to speak to Gerard Hampson | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
and he was being treated as a wanted person as opposed to a missing | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
person. That was wrong, the failings arose from that and we are sorry | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
about that. The police say the case of Gerard Hampson remains under | :08:36. | :08:36. | |
active investigation and they have pointed to the fact that there has | :08:37. | :08:54. | |
been a recent arrest, but they acknowledge and accept that lessons | :08:55. | :08:55. | |
need to be learned. There's been strong unionist | :08:56. | :08:56. | |
reaction to remarks by the Taoiseach Enda Kenny | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
about the UK's possible exit from the European Union | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
after a referendum. He said such a move would be bad not | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
just for the Republic Our Political Correspondent Stephen | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
Walker asked Mrs Foster Of course he is entitled to a view | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
but I do not think he is entitled to interfere in terms of the referendum | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
and encourage people to vote in a particular way. It is at the end of | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
the day and matter that we will have to take under consideration and look | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
at the package we end up with in terms of the prime Minster's | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
negotiations, we will look at that and decide in the interests of | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
Northern Ireland and in the interests of the United Kingdom as | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
to whether we should leave the European Union or stay. Do you | :09:37. | :09:47. | |
interpret these remarks as interfering? Well, you could | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
interpret them as interfering but I preferred to say that he is | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
expressing his views. We will take Carol Council on these matters. | :09:52. | :09:52. | |
The worldwide cargo handling business Swissport is creating 100 | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
jobs at Belfast International Airport. | :09:56. | :09:56. | |
Swissport says the jobs will include positions in passenger check-in, | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
The expansion will bring its workforce at the International | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
to around 350, making it the biggest employer at the airport. | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
Swissport says its expansion was based on planned airline growth | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
at Aldergrove, with Ryanair due to begin operating a new hub | :10:08. | :10:09. | |
Last year at the airport grew, passenger numbers by around 10% | :10:10. | :10:29. | |
across the year. During that year, there were some increases in | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
operations with increased traffic with easyJet and now this year, we | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
have the announcement of the establishment of a large Ryan are | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
based here at Belfast International and that is generating a lot of | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
additional jobs right across the business. | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
Ice Hockey and the Belfast Giants are through to the semi finals | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
They beat Manchester Storm 6-2 tonight. | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
That's a quarter final victory of 11-4 on aggregate. | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
The Republic's football fans have been given an extra 6500 tickets for | :11:04. | :11:11. | |
the games in France after talks between the Football Association of | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
Ireland, the officials say the new tickets will go a little way to | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
satisfying the huge demand. Fans applied for more than 275,000 | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
tickets. The total allocation now is just over 32,000 500. | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
Tomorrow the Good Morning Ulster programme talks to a County Down man | :11:30. | :11:32. | |

That's tomorrow on BBC Radio Ulster starting at 6:30am. | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
The weather is next with Angie Phillips. | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
Good evening. We certainly had some very lightly gusty winds today. | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
Thankfully the winds are not as strong tomorrow but before we get | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
there, they will pick up again through the night and we have some | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
wet weather on the way as well, some persistent and heavy bursts of rain | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
could linger in the north and west tonight, quite likely cars, | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
gale-force in places and we have arranged warning in place, | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
particularly for the north-west, there is likely to be disruption, | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
difficult conditions on the road with surface water and spray | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
tomorrow morning. A Sharon Lee day and it | :12:23. | :12:37. | |
will be cooling down after what will be a relatively mild start, seven to | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
9 degrees, the winds easing, bright spells, most of the showers in the | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
north and west. Further south, more persistent rain, in the Republic and | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
parts of England and Wales. Brisk winds and we have warnings in place, | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
there could be disruption but it is mild. In the north and west we have | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
cooler temperatures, starting to edge in as well as showers, snow | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
over the Scottish mountains and in Northern Ireland as the showers | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
moving, those temperatures will start to fall back through the | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
afternoon and we could see showers turning wintry over the hills. More | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
of those wintry showers to come tomorrow night possibly at low | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
levels, possibly frost and ice but only temporarily, mild and windy | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
conditions returning on Thursday and into Friday with spells of rain. | :13:18. | :13:18. | |
