Today as a fourth trial was due to get underway, | :00:47. | :00:48. | |

against Mark Donnelly from Greencastle in County Tyrone. | :00:52. | :00:54. | |

Here's our South-West reporter Julian Fowler. | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
19-year-old Jason McGovern was found dead in his friend's home | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
Hours earlier, he had been attacked in the car park. | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
A postmortem revealed he had a fractured skull and died | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
as a result of bleeding on the brain. | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
Mark Donnelly had faced two trials in Dungannon. | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
He had maintained that he was innocent and was wrongly identified | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
by a witness as being the man who threw the permission which led | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
-- punch which led to Mr McGovern's death. | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
Each time, the jury was unable to reach a verdict on the charge | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
on manslaughter, but he was found guilty of affray for | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
Another trial had to be aborted for legal reasons. | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
Today, a prosecution lawyer said they were offering no evidence | :01:49. | :01:50. | |

He will be sentenced for affray in September. | :01:54. | :02:02. | |

He was driving a car which was in collision with a lorry | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
A ruling that abortion law in Northern Ireland is incompatible | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
with human rights law is being challenged | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
The appeal has been taken by the Department of Justice | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
Our health correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly reports. | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
Basically the Department of Justice and the Attorney General are trying | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
to overturn last year's ruling by Justice Horner, who found | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
that the Northern Irish law on abortion is incompatible | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
The Department of Justice believes the ruling could eventually lead | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
to a widening of abortion law in Northern Ireland. | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
In one of ten opening submissions John Larkin said... | :02:50. | :03:06. | |
The Human Rights Commission is calling for women to be allowed | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
to choose access in the termination of a pregnancy, especially | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
in circumstances of serious malformation of the foetus, | :03:17. | :03:25. | |
The appeal is expected to last for three days, | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
with a judgment to be made by the end of the year. | :03:30. | :03:40. | |
Football, and the Northern Ireland Manager says his team can as he put | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
it "hurt" the world champions Germany in their final | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
is more than 10,000 Northern Ireland fans are already here, and there | :03:46. | :04:10. | |
will be more tomorrow. There is some excitement, some nervousness, and | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
also expectation. Can Northern Ireland deliver? We have a lead very | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
latest from the Northern Ireland team camp. This time tomorrow night | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
we will know in Northern Ireland have made it through to the knockout | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
stages of Euro 2016. And joined by the captain. Stephen, how confident | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
is the team that you can make it through? We're in a great position, | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
looking forward to the game. For so long in my career and felt that we | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
would never get to play at this stage. We are cherishing being here | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
and do not want the fairy tale to end. If beating Ukraine was the | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
proudest moment of your career, is this the biggest challenge? It will | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
be a huge test. We are under no illusions. But it is a game to look | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
forward to. If we go out and give our all, come off the page and get a | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
result, there will be unbelievable pride and satisfaction. But there is | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
a lot of work to do before that happens. Is the team ready? | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
Definitely. We have been looking forward to the game since the final | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
whistle the other night. We will have to be at our very best if not | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
better to get a result that we were against Ukraine. But we're really | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
enjoying being here and we want that to continue. What would it mean to | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
you and your team mates to make it through, and everybody in Northern | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
Ireland? It would mean everything. We get to see the reaction back | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
home, the reaction of the fans, the atmosphere in the stadium the other | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
night was unbelievable. Everybody is enjoying the moment and proud of the | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
country. It is great to see. Stephen, thank you very much. And | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
the game tomorrow night is live on BBC One. For many fans this visit to | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
Paris marks the very end of a very long journey. From Nice to the | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
French capital. They say it has been worth it. The fans arriving in their | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
thousands. The welcome in Paris has been warm, but wet. Very wet. But | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
the supporters are still loving the city. It's massive. You come here, | :06:15. | :06:25. | |
you could fit Belfast in that we corner over there. I stay in a | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
hotel? We are staying in a tree house. A tree house in a camper van | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
site. It is excellent. It is different, but outstanding. | :06:42. | :06:54. | |
Absolutely brilliant. Many fans are staying on international campsites | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
just outside Paris. And they are all mixing well. What do you think of | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
the Northern Ireland fans? Best friends. Best friends here in | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
France. CHEERING | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
Will you still say that if Northern Ireland B Germany tomorrow night? | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
No. We are at the other end of the campsite. How has it been for your? | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
I am too old for this. At three o'clock in the morning when you're | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
hearing the singing... I had to go out and buy earplugs last night. | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
These fans have spent the last two weeks camping intense at Euro 2016, | :07:35. | :07:42. | |
but they give up last night. It was bucketing down, so we decided we | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
would get ourselves a caravan. We travelled all day, we were a grumpy, | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
the pitch was beside the seven where it happen flooding, without we would | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
get ourselves some luxury. The good news for the fans is that the | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
weather forecast for the rest of the week is sunshine. Across Paris | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
tonight the fans are mixing well. The German and Northern Ireland fans | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
are even in some of the same bars, sharing a singsong. Whatever the | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
result of tomorrow night's match, it does promise to be quite an | :08:14. | :08:14. | |
occasion. The Republic need to beat Italy | :08:15. | :08:15. | |
in their final group game in Lille on Wednesday if they want to have | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
any chance of staying in the Euros. There has been heavy rain | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
across a lot of the country today and there are concerns over | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
the condition of the playing surface in Lille, so much so that you waiver | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
has asked Italy and the Republic of Ireland not to hold | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
planned training sessions There hasn't been much time | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
to reflect on the defeat to Belgium but assistant manager Roy Keane says | :08:37. | :08:50. | |
the players must become more cynical as they battle to stay | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
in the tournament. You have to be | :08:54. | :08:54. | |
streetwise in this game. The fans are doing that | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
but for the players, if you smell danger, | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
if you hold a play up and you can win the ball, | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
fantastic, but if you think, we are in trouble here, then yeah, | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
you do whatever you can It might get you a yellow card, | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
you may even get a red, You have to make sacrifices | :09:15. | :09:31. | |
for your team. It is like boxing, you see a great | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
boxer get knocked down, you get back up and hope | :09:38. | :09:47. | |
for the best. As for the fans ? well, | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
they have left their own Our reporter Ita Dungan has been | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
travelling with them Right on the Belgian border, | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
this city is a bit Belgian, By this time tomorrow afternoon it | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
will probably be around 80% Irish. The fans are starting to arrive | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
and their reputation If the local authorities | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
here contacted their colleagues in Paris, they would | :10:19. | :10:29. | |
probably be told to expect thousands of fans but no | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
trouble and an awful lot of craic. French TV and newspapers have heaped | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
praise on Irish fans and there have been videos of their antics, | :10:38. | :10:45. | |
seen serenading a young woman in Bordeaux, singing lullabies | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
to a child on a tram in Bordeaux and clearing up | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
after themselves at 2am. The most popular YouTube video, | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
with almost a million hits already, was filmed by BBC newsline cameraman | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
Bill Hilditch as we made our way # Go home for the French police | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
Go home for the French police... Irish fans will hope | :11:11. | :11:29. | |
that the players turn up the heat And that video from our cameraman | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
of the singing police officer has now had more | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
than a million hits online. It has not been too bad today, the | :11:40. | :11:55. | |
longest day of the year. It is a day early this year because it is a leap | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
year. And it also coincides with the Strawberry Moon, and those two only | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
meet once every 70 years. It happened just after 11:30 p.m.. A | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
bit of cloud around, temperatures will fall to around 11 degrees. As | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
for tomorrow, it will be like today, mainly dry, at cloud but the sun | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
will come out. Not a bad picture if you are travelling tomorrow. Across | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
Britain and Ireland it is largely dry with good amounts of sunshine. | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
There will be scattered showers popping up later. Across western | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
Scotland and making their way inland. Some grey skies along the | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
West Coast of Ireland and they will give us some scattered showers. | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
Further east it will stay mainly dry. For us where we get the best of | :12:43. | :12:50. | |
the sunshine temperatures could reach 20 Celsius. Watch out for the | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
showers later on mainly in the West. Wednesday is similar, the odd | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
isolated shower, but the emphasis is on dry weather. Temperatures perhaps | :13:00. | :13:07. | |
reaching 17-18. For the rest of the week, with low pressure in is always | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
the risk of showers are plenty of dry weather and some sunshine. A few | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
showers could be heavy come Friday. Our next BBC Newsline | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
is at 6.25 in the morning | :13:18. | :13:22. |
