BBC Scotland. Good evening. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
for the news where you are. The police have started a fresh | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
search for the body of a young woman, Lisa Dorrian, | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
who was reported Following new information officers | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
moved into an area near Comber 25-year-old Lisa Dorrian | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
from Bangor hasn't been seen since going to a party at a holiday | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
caravan park 11 years ago. It is believed she was murdered | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
but her body has yet to be found. This morning the police cordoned off | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
an area of farmland on the outskirts of Comber and specialist search | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
teams moved in to begin a sweep. In a statement, the PSNI's | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
Serious Crime Branch said that this latest operation is a result | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
of new information being Detectives say that information has | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
been provided by someone who is not The police say the search | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
will involve significant This isn't the first time this piece | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
of land has been searched by police In 2012, hydraulic diggers | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
were brought here as police searched for a car believed to have been used | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
in her murder. At that time, there was no sign | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
of a young woman's body. This morning the police and search | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
teams arrived here in numbers and began a fresh search | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
of the farmland. This operation, which is expected | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
to last several days, is the latest in a long-running | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
and extensive investigation. It will include the use of search | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
teams, body recovery dogs, ground probes and other | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
specialist equipment. While this general area was searched | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
in 2012 when police were looking for a vehicle, this time the search | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
is concentrating on a different section of farmland and research | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
teams are looking for human remains. The inquest began today | :01:53. | :02:02. | |
into the death of another young woman whose body has | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
never been found. Arlene Arkinson, who was 15 | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
and from Castlederg, was last seen with child killer | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
Robert Howard when she disappeared He was later acquitted of her murder | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
and died in prison last year. Last week, just three days before | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
the inquest, it was revealed that the government was allowing | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
the police to withhold documents 22 years after she disappeared, | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
her family were looking to find She was the blue-eyed | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
girl of the family. I want people to know | :02:27. | :02:36. | |
the real Arlene. In court, the coroner heard that | :02:37. | :02:45. | |
Arlene was a bright but vulnerable girl who had been sexually abused | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
by her brother-in-law On the night when she disappeared | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
she told them she might be pregnant. Witnesses say that night Arlene | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
was the last of a group of friends to be dropped home after | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
a night out in Donegal. The driver was Robert | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
Howard, then in his 50s. He was acquitted of her murder | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
in 2005 but that jury could not be The court heard that he was | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
an extremely dangerous man capable He had a string of convictions | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
for rape and serious sexual assault, was out on bail at the time | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
of her disappearance and was the last person to be | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
seen with her alive. All the information about the police | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
investigation may not be heard. The PSNI have asked for a immunity | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
certificate to withhold details There are usually only issued | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
in terrorism cases. The family can't understand why one | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
would be issued in this inquest. There's absolutely no | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
reason for it whatsoever. As far as can see, unless some | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
justification can be brought before the court, because ultimately | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
the judge will have the final say. The police say these applications | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
are made in all kinds of cases and although they're committed | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
to transparency that must be balanced with their obligation | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
to maintain the integrity of the methods with which police | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
conduct complex and challenging The full court papers were served | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
today so the judge hasn't yet made a decision about whether or not | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
to withhold information Robert Howard died while serving his | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
prison sentence for the murder of a girl in England years | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
after her disappearance. As this case continues, the family | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
carry their questions with them. The funeral has taken place | :04:40. | :04:47. | |
in Dublin of the man murdered It's believed David Byrne's death | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
was part of a gangland feud which led to another man being shot | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
dead last week. Our Dublin correspondent | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
Shane Harrison reports. David Byrne, who lived near here, | :05:00. | :05:14. | |
was a 33-year-old partner, He was murdered by at least six | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
gunmen at a boxing weigh-in at the Regency airport | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
hotel earlier this month. It was believed to have been carried | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
out by a rival criminal gang linked David Byrne was a major player | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
in a drugs gang. Several members of the Spanish-based | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
family were present. There was also a heavy security | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
presence at this church but no trouble was reported | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
despite the tension, The murdered man was buried this | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
afternoon in the presence of family The funeral of Eddie Hutch Sr, | :05:43. | :05:51. | |
who is believed to have been shot dead in retaliation, | :05:52. | :06:00. | |
has yet to take place. It is expected to happen on Friday | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
with a similar Gardai operation. The First Minister is to attend | :06:06. | :06:16. | |
a Church of Ireland event to commemorate the Easter Rising | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
centenary in Dublin later this week. In a statement tonight, | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
Arlene Foster said that Wednesday night's event in Christchurch | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
Cathedral wasn't a commemoration but in line with the type of event | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
she would be happy to attend. A 56-year-old grandmother has been | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
charged with the murder of a man who died after a gun attack | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
in the Divis area of Belfast. As Maggie Taggart reports, | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
the woman's husband has already been Edward Gibson was a 28 your old | :06:44. | :06:57. | |
father of one. He was shot in the stomach and thigh in an alleyway in | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
October 20 14. He died in hospital the next day. In court today was 56 | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
old Margaret Goodman from Balla Murphy parade in Belfast. She is | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
charged with the murder and is also accused of possessing a firearm and | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
ammunition in suspicious circumstances. Her solicitor said | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
she had been arrested and interviewed by the police last year | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
and released without charge. The court heard that new game a evidence | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
has come to light but is a defence solicitor called it one piece of | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
circumstantial DNA. They choose woman had been arrested after going | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
to the police voluntarily. Police opposed bail for Mrs Goodman, whose | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
husband is already charged with the murder. An officer said there was a | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
risk she could abscond. Her solicitor described her as a mother | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
of seven and a grandmother of 20 with strong link to the community. | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
There was granted but she will have to wear an electronic tag abide by a | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
curfew and agree not to talk to witnesses. | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
With farm incomes at their lowest in a decade, young farmers | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
are going overseas to find work in the industry. | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
Jobs like milking cows in the Middle East and helping out | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
with the English harvest are increasingly the only options | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
He has a contract with a major supermarket and isn't in debt | :08:15. | :08:26. | |
to the banks but he too has seen his income tumble. | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
He says his profit from each of these animals is down by ?100. | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
That means that belts must be tightened across the board. | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
It also means he can't afford to pay a decent wage to his 20-year-old | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
son, who like many of his friends is leaving to look for work. | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
There are lots of people I know whose sons and daughters have left. | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
I know one guy who wanted to milk cows. | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
They come here to find staff because the boys can work. | :08:56. | :09:05. | |
At home Robert might make ?100 a week. | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
In England working long hours in silage in the harvest he'll make | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
It is a no-brainer from a financial standpoint but that doesn't make | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
I want to go and get experience doing all different things. | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
Bigger farms, but I have to leave my dad and | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
The income figures show just how tight it is on family farms. | :09:29. | :09:36. | |
Mixed farms where people have a couple of different interests | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
Still back at a quarter of last year. | :09:40. | :09:49. | |
Beef and sheep farms like here, they are getting by on around | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
And dairy farms, people there are struggling to get | :09:54. | :10:02. | |
by on an average income of around ?10,000. | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
A drop of 78% on last year's figures. | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
That's reflected in farm families looking for help. | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
Whether it's 30,000 overdraft or 200,000 overdraft, | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
we're finding across-the-board lots of problems. | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
And in an election year, this will be a key issue | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
There's no question it will be on the lips of every farming family. | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
There's lots of apathy and despair about the downturn in farming. | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
The industry believes it has a long-term future. | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
It's finding solutions to cash-flow challenges that are | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
Athletes who competed and won medals in last year's Special Olympics have | :10:42. | :10:50. | |
been honoured at Belfast City Hall tonight. | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
88 sportsmen and women went to the games in Los Angeles | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
and brought home 19 medals, five of them gold and nine silver. | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
The athletes, their coaches, family and volunteers were invited | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
to a civic reception to celebrate their success. | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
I went out there, had some fun and try to win a medal for Coleraine in | :11:09. | :11:30. | |
Belfast. I went for table tennis. Singles. The atmosphere was good but | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
it was very warm. Had to keep drinking loads of fluids. | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
In tonight's Irish Premiership matches there were wins | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
for Glentoran, Ballinmallard, and Dungannon Swifts. | :11:40. | :11:40. | |
Full details on the BBC Sport website. | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
And Carrick Rangers are through to the sixth | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
round of the Irish cup after a 1-0 win over Crumlin Star. | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
The weather is next with Angie Phillips. | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
Hello. A lovely start the week, if not chilly. As usual, things are | :11:56. | :12:04. | |
going to change. We have a couple of wet and windy spells heading our | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
way. The first tomorrow, the next towards the end of the week. In | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
between it'll become drier again through the middle part of the week | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
but it will also be that bit chilly. It has been a cold start of the | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
night, frosting places but it's only temporary. We'll have increasing | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
amounts of cloud, breeze picking up from the south and as a result the | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
bridges will rise. Tomorrow, Atlantic weather it systems had our | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
way. Tightly packed isobars show strengthening winds. The word go, it | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
will be pretty and eventually it will turn wet as well. It will be a | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
mainly dry start the day and could be deceptively bright freight time | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
across parts of the East but cloud will gather and rain is on the way. | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
That rain the whole island of Ireland as we had through the day. | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
Wet and windy for western Scotland, then it is now in the hills. There | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
could be some travel disruption here. Probably not reaching the East | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
of Scotland until the evening time and for much of England and Wales | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
it's mainly dry. For Northern Ireland, not very the afternoon, wet | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
and windy, heavy and persistent bursts of rain not very pleasant on | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
the roads. Eyes of a degree is the feeling cooler in the wind and rain. | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
That rain moves away later tomorrow night. A bit drier but chilly for | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
Wednesday. | :13:26. | :13:28. |
