MLAs have been debating an amendment which would allow them to make | :00:20. | :00:37. | |
exceptions in cases of comedy VDU P, who oppose it, have developed a | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
working group on the issue. The latest I am joined from Stormont | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
by our Political Correspondent. What is the latest? There are few more | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
difficult or sensitive issues facing politicians here. Not surprisingly | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
it has been a passionate debate, and emotive debate, and after four | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
hours, just over four hours, it is not quite over yet. We have not got | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
a result. But the issue is the question of whether the law in | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
Northern Ireland should be changed to allow abortions in the cases of | :00:57. | :01:05. | |
fatal foetal abnormality. If we are to continue to fail women in | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Northern Ireland in this there we are up to getting our duties as | :01:10. | :01:18. | |
representatives. A traumatic journey for women to England is becoming a | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
shame on Northern Ireland. Looking elsewhere for sport and health makes | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
this worse. VDU P already made it clear they | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
opposed the amendment. What have they been saying? They say | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
it is too rushed. And that last night they said they would ask the | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
health minister to set up a working group involving clinicians and | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
people with legal backgrounds to work some recommendations for the | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
future as to how the issue might be addressed. Here is the junior | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
minister. I have not had the village of | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
bringing a child into this world. But I can empathise with all my | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
heart, the wished for, they longed for, can so quickly turned to | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
tragedy. The way forward that we are proposing is a compassionate one. | :02:14. | :02:23. | |
The working group will be set up by the end of this month but will not | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
report for six months, according to Sinn Fein, that is too long. | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
They have said they are sporting a commission which will report in six | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
months. What about the plight of women in the here and now? What | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
about the woman who are pregnant as a result of rape? Or women who are | :02:46. | :02:54. | |
faced with fatal foetal abnormality? We have still not had a vote but the | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
feeling is that with the DUP opposing, and the SDLP opposing, and | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
various others, it is likely, though not certain, but this is not the end | :03:06. | :03:06. | |
of the issue. Sinn Fein has made a formal | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
complaint to the Assembly Commissioner for Standards | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
following an incident involving the DUP MLA Jim Wells | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
in the Assembly chamber last night. It's the second complaint | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
against him in as many days after he was recorded making alleged | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
sexist comments during last week's Our political editor | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
Mark Devenport reports. It happened last week at a session | :03:22. | :03:34. | |
of the Public Accounts Committee. The microphone up whispered comment | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
from Jim Wells. He said he was scared out of his whip is when a | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
female civil servant, who reminded him of Arlene Foster, entered the | :03:45. | :03:45. | |
room. Then this quip... He described it as a | :03:46. | :04:05. | |
self-deprecating joke, but on social media many criticised him, including | :04:06. | :04:14. | |
Sinn Fein's Megan Fearon, who described the comments is disgusting | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
and showing contempt for women. Late last night the MLA was leading the | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
assembly chamber when on the opposite side, Mr Wells quickly rose | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
from his seat and appeared to confront her at the door before he | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
left. Her party colleague saw what was happening and moved to | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
intervene. Still Wells said he warned her the comments with the | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
sanitary. Tonight, Sinn Fein said they make a formal complaint to the | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
standards commissioner, saying the complaint is on the grounds of | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
equality, respect, and good working relationships between MLAs. | :04:51. | :04:51. | |
The scramble for tickets by Northern Ireland fans | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
is continuing after many loyal supporters lost out yesterday. | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
Today the Irish Football Association insisted the fans should | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
Many fans were so confident of getting tickets for France they had | :04:58. | :05:21. | |
already booked flights, hired cars, and hotels. Only to find out | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
yesterday they did not get any match tickets. Supporters like Roy McKie, | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
a regular for over 40 years. Disappointed, but at. Annoyed. | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
Four members of his family applied, only to got them. But they are all | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
still going to France together. The reason I am going is because the | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
flights are paid for. The accommodation is paid for. The cars | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
are paid for. And my son put it down as a driver of one of the cars. | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
So you have to go! I have to go! | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
Of course, there were winners as well as losers, I spoke to one | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
supporter who was embarrassed that the amount of tickets he got, having | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
undergone 21 qualification game at Windsor Park, he applied for, and | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
got, tickets to all three group games in France, in fact, he got to | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
tickets for each. Here is a copy of the e-mail he got. As well as two | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
tickets for the group matches he has been guaranteed tickets for any | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
match as Northern Ireland might play in the knockout stages. But it has | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
all come at a price. More than 1500 euros upfront. Around ?1200. It | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
appears that how much money supporters have been prepared to | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
spend has been important, not just the number of matches they have been | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
to in recent years. But the IFA say that the most loyal supporters | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
should get tickets soon in an extra allocation made available by Uefa. | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
They are in limbo at this point. I would ask them to have a small | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
amount of patience, wait, we will check all the data, make sure we get | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
all the right names into the system, and we will get Uefa to contact them | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
in the near future so they get access to the new ticket portal. | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
That should happen before the end of this month. As for Republic of | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
Ireland supporters, their long-awaited ticket news should on | :07:15. | :07:15. | |
Friday. Gardai say they are making progress | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
in their investigations into the recent | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
suspected gang murders. They have identified some of those | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
who carried out Friday's murder at the boxing weigh-in | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
and they believe those who murdered a taxi-driver on Monday night left | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
may have left DNA evidence in the get-away car | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
they failed to set on fire. Our Dublin correspondent | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
Shane Harrison reports. Crumlin in Dublin South inner city. | :07:32. | :07:47. | |
Not a very well off area. Long associated with drugs and crime. The | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
vast majority of people here are honest, law-abiding citizens. There | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
is a tiny minority. It is perhaps an unlikely starting point for a global | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
drug empire worth tens of millions of pounds. This man led the Crumlin | :08:02. | :08:10. | |
gang. Also known as Dapper Don, he is now based in Marbella, Spain. He | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
is said to have extraordinary personal wealth. It was a shooting | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
in Spain last September that prompted this outbreak of violence, | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
and exposed deep divisions. This man was a member of the gang, but it is | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
believed they killed him, suspect he was a police informant. Gary Hutch | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
was also a nephew of this man, known as the monk, he was a notorious | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
criminal in the 1980s and 1990s, but now says he has retired from crime. | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
The killing last Friday at a boxing promotion in Dublin was believed to | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
be a direct retaliation for the killing. David Byrne, a close tenant | :08:55. | :09:05. | |
of Kinahan was murdered, and for others injured. Within days, the | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
cycle of retaliation claimed another victim. And this is another uncle of | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
Gary, killed on Monday night. Few believe he was a gang member. The | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
widespread suspicion being that he was murdered simply because of his | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
surname. This afternoon, flowers from David Hearn's family outside | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
the Regency hotel where he was murdered. A Belfast on crime | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
correspondent said the amount of money one gang leader is making is | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
enormous. A senior anti-drug official told me | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
that Kinahan was the Manchester United of drug dealing. He has | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
things with Colombian cartels. He is that big that he can pick up the | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
phone and talk to people in Colombia. He is absolutely massive. | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
He has a fortune worth tens, if not hundreds of millions of euros. | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
With such a financial killing to be made the murders are perhaps not | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
surprising. And with armed Gardai on the street the suspicion is there | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
will be more fatalities in what is increasingly becoming personal. | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
Until the last few days the number of gangland killings had been | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
falling dramatically, and it is widely believed that Kinahan ordered | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
an end to all the future because they were hampering the making of | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
money. So the question now is, why the current killings? Are any | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
younger, more reckless generation taking over, in both camps? With | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
jewels still to take place parts of the city are living in fear and | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
dreading the next few days. -- with two funerals still to take place. | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
A coroner has told the West Midland's police to provide a list | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
of evidence in connection with the 1974 Birmingham pub | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
bombings which has been lost or destroyed . | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
21 people were killed when two bombs exploded at two pubs | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
The Coroner is deciding if inquests should be held. | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
The police are against resuming the inquests but victims relatives | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
and one of those wrongly convicted of the bombings want | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
With just two weeks to the General Election | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
in the Republic, our Economics and Business Editor John Campbell | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
has been in Dublin to look at the state of the Irish economy. | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
He's been speaking to people working with those on the margins of society | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
and to business people behind major projects on both sides | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
It is palpable. And it is very exciting at the moment. However, I | :11:23. | :11:37. | |
would say that there is a real nervousness as to whether it will | :11:38. | :11:38. | |
last. It is going to be clear in places | :11:39. | :11:54. | |
throughout the course of tonight, particularly in land and in eastern | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
areas. Temperatures will drop toward freezing, may be lower in some rural | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
spots. We are looking at Rost, mist and fog. And the threat of cloud | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
feeding in showers overnight, particularly over the hills. There | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
is the risk of a few icy patches. Tomorrow, generally speaking, a good | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
deal of dry weather, still some bright spells around. Eventually | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
more cloud than we had today. And with the fog patches in the morning, | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
there could be visibility issues, it could take some time to clear. Still | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
some showers towards the north-west. Fog will be stubborn to clear across | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
the Republic of Ireland but once it does, dry and bright. Variable cloud | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
across the rest of written. -- Britain. It could be quite brisk, | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
the wind, but elsewhere, mainly spells of sunshine, though not | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
particularly warm. Northern Ireland, the afternoon, more cloud than this | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
afternoon, still a few bright spells, and apart from the odd | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
shower, mainly dry with temperatures at 5-6dC. Friday, it also looks dry | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
and chilly but the trees with pick-up. The threat of rain on | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
Saturday, the main thing through the weekend is it is very cold, with | :13:17. | :13:17. | |
strong winds. Our next BBC Newsline is at 6:25am | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
