Here on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Another homeless man has died in Belfast City Centre this evening. | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
The man was found in a shop doorway in the city centre. | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
It was here on Belfast high street, a homeless man was found dead in a | :00:16. | :00:27. | |
doorway earlier this evening. The man is believed to have been in his | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
late 40s, or early 50s, and was known to homeless charities in the | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
city will stop one volunteer who I spoke to is visibly upset and stop | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
she said that he had been working with them for within two years. This | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
man is the third homeless person to have died on the streets of Belfast | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
in three weeks. All the deaths have been discovered within 250 metres of | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
this spot. And a short distance up a road, homeless charities were busy | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
handing out stew, tea, and coffee, and warm clothing. One man was very | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
grateful of the help. Where will you spend the evening to mark in my | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
sleeping bag. These people are good, the diverse food and clothing. | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
Leaving with everything a bag to find a sheltered spot. They will be | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
freezing tonight, as temperatures are expected to fall well below | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
zero. Armed police held a gun to a man's | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
head during a raid on a house They were targeting the property | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
at Aspen Walk in Twinbrook in the early hours of this morning | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
after a 41-year-old man was shot In the middle of the night, in the | :01:29. | :01:44. | |
middle of the street, armed police officers focus on one house. One by | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
one, those inside came out, the police didn't know if they had guns | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
or not, they were taking no chances. A police weapon was pointed to the | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
head of one man. The first to leave the house in Twinbrook was a woman. | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
She wasn't arrested, but she doesn't want her identity reveals. This | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
afternoon, she told me about the police raid. They told us up to put | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
the hands in the air, and to walk out one at a time and drop your | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
weapons and all, and I was the first one to walk out, and I was really | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
afraid, and I was really, really, really frightened. So frightened. I | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
was fighting for my husband, because they are going with a big gun right | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
in his face, come towards me, walks me will with your hands on your air. | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
Then we'll out the door, they were shouting get out, armed response, | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
everybody out. He told me to put my weapon down, which was my mobile | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
phone. There were no guns in the house? No, no guns in my house. | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
Police had been investigating a shooting in the area. A 41-year-old | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
man had been shot in the leg. It all happened around midnight. The | :02:55. | :03:03. | |
shooting was in the Stronger in Europe area. This house was half a | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
mile away. Was the reaction of the top of Sun has suggested? Some might | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
say, but we have to remember that there were weapons used in the | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
incident last night, so the police could have felt that the appropriate | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
response was taking given that the evidence of the event. Two men have | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
been arrested. One aged 25, the other aged 35. | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
The inquest into the death of Arlene Arkinson has heard | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
convicted child killer Robert Howard was seen near a forest carrying | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
It was claimed in a police inteligence document that a taxi | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
One of the last people to see the Castlederg teenager alive told | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
the court she "knew in her heart and soul" her friend was dead. | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
Arlene Arkinson disappeared in 1994, after a night out in County Donegal. | :03:55. | :04:09. | |
Her body has never been found. The 15-year-old was last seen with | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
convicted child killer Robert Howard. It partially blacked out | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
police intelligence document was read to Belfast coroner 's Court | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
today. In it, a taxi driver claimed he drove Howard and his then | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
partner, Patricia Quinn, to a forest, and they will told him they | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
were going fishing for them they had a spade and a bag with them. | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
Patricia and his daughter, who was giving evidence today, said oh my | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
God, no. Donna Quinn sobbed as she said she believed Robert Howard had | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
killed her friend. Donna Quinn said she had no doubt who killed her, | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
that he had sexually abused her and killed her. She said that she had | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
known within a week that something was badly, badly wrong. Counsel for | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
the Arkansan family said the Mrs Quinn had offered Arlene to Howard | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
as a sacrificial lamb. Mrs Quinn broke down sobbing. She said do you | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
not think I have suffered? She is was my best friend and I miss her | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
every day of the week. Donna Quinn confirmed that the day after Arlene | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
disappeared she asked Howard if he had sex with the teenager. She asked | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
him because she is that was the way Howard was. He said he would go to | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
hell for the damage he had caused and that she was just glad he was | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
dead. She had no idea what he had done with the teenager but my body. | :05:27. | :05:27. | |
The inquest continues. Now, the EU referendum | :05:28. | :05:28. | |
and the Stronger in Europe campaign had its Northern Ireland launch | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
today, but things didn't go quite as planned, as our political | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
correspondent It's pitched as the most important | :05:35. | :05:45. | |
vote in a generation and this was the Northern Ireland of the Stronger | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
in Europe campaign. But something was missing. The former Labour Mr | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
Allen Johnson was to be here but had to withdraw at the last moment | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
because of illness, which is a pity for the organisers, because as | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
launches go, this was as low-key as they come. Of course, here in the | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
place where the Titanic was built, they know that big launches aren't | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
everything. God is unfortunate that Alan Johnson is ill but I'm here | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
today with one of our political champions, and the Shadow Secretary | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
of State for Northern Ireland, and we are here together talking to | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
businesses, talking to voters, understanding why Northern Ireland | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
is stronger, safer, and better off as part of the European Union than | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
it would be on its own. Close by at Queens University, both sides of the | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
argument could be heard at a debate called Owning Our Future. Northern | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
Ireland can stay in Europe and survive. -- cannot stay in Europe | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
and survive the momentum is with the get out. Go and leave the United | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
Kingdom. That momentum is there now, and it will grow and grow. It is | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
looking like a very long campaign indeed. | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
Across the border Friday is Election Day and so far it seems | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
no party will get a clear overall majority of seats. | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
Our Dublin correspondent Shane Harrison reports. | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
When TDs gather in the Dail and marched the 10th -- on March ten, | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
opinions polls suggest the party will have an overall majority. That | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
is not stopping politicians canvassing for ever see last about | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
stop I'm just coming around to hope to sway due to support me. We are | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
still considering for the I know. This man is standing for Fianna Fail | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
in Dublin Bay north. As the outgoing Cabinet minister charged with | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
creating employment, he is adamant that his party and Fianna Fail | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
cannot do business because of what he says Fianna Fail's bad policies | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
that led to the banking crash, that cost the taxpayer six to 4 billion | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
euros, and 300,000 lost jobs. We are not going to allow Fianna Fail to | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
come through the back door into government we believe that Fine Gael | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
and labour have delivered a sustainable platform and will | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
continue to deliver strong growth and we can use that to solve many | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
people' problems. Both Fianna Fail and Fine Gael have their origins in | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
the Irish Civil War and in the original Sinn Fein party. Michael | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
Collins, who supported the Anglo-Irish Treaty, that created the | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
Irish free State, is a finny coil hearing, while the man who opposed | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
it sounded Fianna Fail. Both artists separatist parties. The two current | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
leaders insist there will be no grand coalition. If former Fianna | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
Fail minister doesn't rule it out however given the current opinion | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
polls and what he calls the need for political economic stability. Well, | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
I believe that it will fall to Fianna Fail, one way or another, if | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
they are behind Fine Gael, they may have to help Fine Gael to four down | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
government, a stable government that is. A former Fianna Fail Cabinet | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
minister will hope that Labour supporters will turn her to the Dail | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
after rejecting her in the last election. Can you help me? We will | :09:15. | :09:22. | |
do our best. We will do our best. She detects a change in the mood in | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
the two great parties of Irish politics. She has reservations about | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
joining forces. There are many people on the doors saying leave the | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
Civil War find you and come together. The difficulty I have with | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
that is that it leaves the door open for Sinn Fein to be not only be the | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
major opposition party this time but to be the government in waiting for | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
the time after, and that is not in the best interests of the country. | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
Nevertheless, something you might be constructed once the votes are | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
counted. The family of former hunger striker | :09:50. | :09:50. | |
Bobby Sands say they weren't consulted over the accuracy | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
of a book published about him. The Arts Council has been criticised | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
for funding the publication. 35 years after his death on a hunger | :09:56. | :10:11. | |
striker Bobby Sands remains as controversial in print as he was in | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
prison. And his story is still prompts very different | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
interpretations. Controversial two is the arts Council 's decision to | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
award national lottery funding of over ?5,000 to the publishers of | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
Bobby Sands freedom fighter. A move which has been condemned by a number | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
of Unionists, including a former culture minister. It is a book that | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
glamorises IRA terrorists, that glamorises the IRA, that endorses a | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
Sinn Fein IRA narrative. Described by the arts Council as a graphic | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
novel, Bobby Sands freedom fighter has received a more favourable | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
response from fellow republicans. It is appropriate that money should be | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
used in this way to educate people, and to tell people about the past. | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
Defending its decision to help finance the book, the arts Council | :11:05. | :11:05. | |
says: but the arts Council has chosen not | :11:06. | :11:23. | |
to do and into the debate on the book 's content, saying it does not | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
interfere with editorial content, nor draw a line with between content | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
chosen between publishers which may break cover Sue. -- provoke | :11:33. | :11:40. | |
controversy. The book about Bobby Sands may prove to be the most | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
incendiary. A very cold night ahead. | :11:43. | :11:43. | |
Here's Barra with the forecast. Hello. It's certainly a night for | :11:44. | :11:55. | |
the double tog duvet, possibly the thermals to, as temperatures wildly | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
fall below freezing, with a weather warding issued for coastal counties. | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
We may see a slight dusting of snow over high ground areas but overall a | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
mainly dry night, but quite chilly. Cabbage across the board fall below | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
40 degrees. It could reach minus seven or 8 degrees. Tomorrow morning | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
it would be worth giving yourself more time to defrost Carwyn | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
windscreen -- the car windscreen tomorrow, as it will be icy. | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
Tomorrow, the blues leave the map and the temperature rises a little | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
bit. A similar weather system is sitting across Britain, so if you | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
travel tomorrow, it will be the same most of the places you go. Plenty of | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
dry weather, good amount of sun, light winds. Temperatures across the | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
board questioning at times, between the midst to perhaps I single | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
figures in perhaps some southern areas. For the second part of the | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
afternoon you can expect plenty of dry weather, up good amount of | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
sunshine to as the skies stay clear, but because of that it will be | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
chilly again stop temperatures again fall below freezing, giving as a | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
chilly frosty start on Friday. Friday is shaping up to have a | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
little bit more cloud around, dry in the north, with some damp weather | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
coming in from the south later on. As we look ahead towards the | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
weekend, very little is changing in the forecast. | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
