A woman from County Tyrone arrested and jailed for drugs smuggling | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
in Peru says she is a good person who made a bad decision. | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
Michaella McCollum, from Dungannon, was freed on parole last week | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
after serving more than two years in prison in South America. | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
Relaxed and relieved - Michaella McCollum is pictured | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
here just days after her release from prison in Peru. | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
She'd tried to smuggle cocaine worth ?1.5 million out of the country, | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
an action she now describes as a moment of madness. | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
I simply made a decision in a moment of madness. I'm not a bad person, I | :00:46. | :00:56. | |
want to demonstrate that I'm a good person, and to do something good. I | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
regret the harm I've done and so much suffering I have caused to my | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
family and myself. In the time here I've thought it the drugs cost, what | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
would have happened? I would have had a lot of blood on my hands. | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
Along with Melissa Reid from Scotland, Michaella | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
was sentenced to six years and eight months in jail. | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
But last week, she was released on parole after serving | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
Now she's out of jail, and speaking out. | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
It feels like a dream, like its not real, like I'm going to wake up any | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
moment and be back in the nightmare. In an interview for a documentary | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
due to be broadcast on RTE tonight, the 23-year-old talks | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
about her regret of what happened... I was very naive, I was so young and | :01:39. | :01:48. | |
very insecure, a lot of times I didn't know how to say no to | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
somebody. I just followed along with that and part of me wanted to be | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
something I'm not. While she may be out of jail, | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
it's still not clear if Michaella will be allowed to return | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
to Northern Ireland, or if she'll have to stay | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
in Peru for even longer. The Alliance Party leader David Ford | :02:04. | :02:05. | |

during the Easter Rising Volunteers, policemen, | :02:44. | :02:46. | |

All lives are of equal value and 2016 must be the year in which the | :03:28. | :03:44. | |
narratives of all the people on this island are included and heard. | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
Behind each and every one of these last lives lies a story of | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
heartbreak. No matter what side the person served on or for those | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
innocently caught up in the conflict. | :04:00. | :04:00. | |

The 49-skiff event is one of the biggest | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
It was a really good Regatta for us, as always if you win, but at this | :04:59. | :05:12. | |
time of the year it means a lot, the start of the European season leading | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
up to the Olympics and we have been working hard, especially the last | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
six months, to try and improve and it is finally paying off so we are | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
really happy, things have come together, we have been working with | :05:29. | :05:32. | |

That's this week on BBC Newsline here on BBC One. | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
Now here's Angie Philips with the weather forecast. | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
I'm afraid or unsettled spell of weather will spill into the new | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
week. We have rain followed by showers, it becomes windy by the | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
middle of the week and will turn colder. This evening we have rain | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
showers scattered around with dry gaps in between and between those | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
showers it will become misty and murky and then later in the night | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
more persistent rain returns from the south-east. At least it is a | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
mild and frost free night. Tomorrow has an overcast start to the week, | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
also wet, a lot of surface water and spray on the roads, that rain works | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
its way inland through the morning and some heavy bursts are likely. | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
This prolonged band of rain extends from Scotland down into Ireland, | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
some heavy and potentially thundery showers moving into central England | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
but away from that dry and bright weather, still fairly reasonable | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
temperatures in the south-east that not as warm as today. For Northern | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
Brabant in the afternoon, the rain is still hanging about. Highest | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
rainfall totals are likely to be in eastern counties so bear that in | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
mind because there could be surface flooding. The best chance of drier | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
gaps towards the west later in the day. On Tuesday things are quieter, | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
we get brighter skies returning but on Wednesday Strong winds picking | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
up, colder air coming in and some rain mixed with hail -- hail and | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
thunder, which could be wintry on the hills. | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
