This is BBC Newsline. The headlines this Thursday evening:

:00:13.:00:14.

The First Minister Arlene Foster rejects a call by Martin McGuinness

:00:15.:00:17.

We've always been very clear that the National crime agency is the

:00:18.:00:29.

appropriate organisation to deal with any allegations.

:00:30.:00:31.

A man is critically ill after an incident involving police

:00:32.:00:33.

More than half of people here don't want a border poll,

:00:34.:00:37.

according to a survey commissioned for the BBC.

in Rio she goes for gold in the pool tonight.

:01:16.:01:17.

And despite a dry start to Friday, it promises to be a wet and windy

:01:18.:01:22.

The First Minister Arlene Foster has rejected a call by Martin McGuinness

:01:23.:01:35.

for a cross-border NAMA inquiry saying it's "not appropriate."

:01:36.:01:39.

She said the National Crime Agency is the correct organisation

:01:40.:01:42.

to investigate revelations on the BBC Spotlight

:01:43.:01:49.

programme this week, when the Belfast

:01:50.:01:51.

businessman, Frank Cushnahan, was recorded accepting

:01:52.:01:52.

?40,000 in cash from a property developer

:01:53.:01:55.

who was a NAMA borrower at a time when Mr Cushnahan was working

:01:56.:01:58.

Here's our political correspondent Stephen Walker.

:01:59.:02:05.

Tuesday night Spotlight programme investigated Frank Cushnahan who

:02:06.:02:18.

was... The committee's job was to advise on NAMA's ?1 million

:02:19.:02:22.

portfolio here. An experienced businessman and former banker, he

:02:23.:02:26.

was praised by DUP ministers during Stormont committee meetings last

:02:27.:02:30.

year. Spotlight obtained at recording of Frank Cushnahan doing

:02:31.:02:33.

his own cash deal with developer John Miskelly. In return for his

:02:34.:02:47.

?40,000, John Miskelly was hoping Frank Cushnahan could help him with

:02:48.:02:52.

the deal to refinance his loans, get out of NAMA and retake control of

:02:53.:02:56.

his properties. This would represent a serious conflict of interest.

:02:57.:03:01.

Frank Cushnahan has consistently denied any wrongdoing. Any

:03:02.:03:03.

statement, John Miskelly said... Today, there was a call for the

:03:04.:03:21.

affair be investigated on an all Ireland basis. What we need is

:03:22.:03:27.

obviously the police investigations whether it be the American ones are

:03:28.:03:33.

not, investigated as soon as possible so we can have all the

:03:34.:03:36.

information about what was actually going on and I think we need an all

:03:37.:03:43.

Ireland investigation. The First Minister has rejected the call for

:03:44.:03:48.

an all Ireland enquiry. The National Crime Agency will continue with

:03:49.:03:51.

their investigation and ones that investigation is over, then we can

:03:52.:03:55.

look to see if there are any other consequential investigations that

:03:56.:03:58.

will have to take place. We have always been very clear that the

:03:59.:04:01.

National Crime Agency is the appropriate and professional

:04:02.:04:04.

organisation to deal with any allegations. This is a story that

:04:05.:04:08.

has many strands to it. There's a fear is being investigated by

:04:09.:04:12.

political committees in Dublin and Belfast and the number of law

:04:13.:04:15.

enforcement agencies. NAMA may no longer have a in Northern Ireland,

:04:16.:04:20.

what remains is a long list of unanswered questions.

:04:21.:04:23.

A man is in a critical condition in hospital after an incident

:04:24.:04:26.

involving police officers in Belfast city centre this morning.

:04:27.:04:30.

The Police Ombudsman's office is investigating what happened

:04:31.:04:32.

on Great Victoria Street, as Michael Fitzpatrick reports.

:04:33.:04:41.

One of Belfast's busiest roads were sealed off this morning as a police

:04:42.:04:46.

ombudsman investigation into what happened here got underway. Police

:04:47.:04:51.

were called to greet Victoria Street shortly before 5am after a report

:04:52.:04:55.

that a man had become violent. It is understood the man dressed only in

:04:56.:04:59.

his underwear was involved in an altercation with a number of taxi

:05:00.:05:03.

drivers. This taxi, sitting within recording, appeared to sustain some

:05:04.:05:09.

damage. During the man's arrest, spray was used and who later became

:05:10.:05:12.

unwell. He was taken to hospital where he is now any critical

:05:13.:05:19.

condition. The staff are in the process of photographing the scene

:05:20.:05:22.

and there are a number of items that are potentially relevant to the

:05:23.:05:28.

investigations, we've also conducted CCTV enquiries. We've secured some

:05:29.:05:33.

CCTV material and fitted and there will be further CCTV enquiries to be

:05:34.:05:38.

carried out. We've obtained a number of witness statements as well and

:05:39.:05:41.

there will be further witness statements in the next couple of

:05:42.:05:45.

days. The police ombudsman 's office has also said that restraint used by

:05:46.:05:50.

police. The investigation will seek to establish whether officers

:05:51.:05:53.

employed any other devices. Great Victoria Street was reopened this

:05:54.:05:56.

afternoon after forensic officers completed their friends at

:05:57.:05:59.

investigation of the scene. Well some statements have been gathered

:06:00.:06:03.

from witnesses, the police ombudsman's office has appealed for

:06:04.:06:06.

anyone else who has witnessed what has happened to contact them.

:06:07.:06:08.

More than half of people here do not want the government

:06:09.:06:11.

to call a border poll, according to a new survey

:06:12.:06:13.

carried out for the BBC's political programme The View.

:06:14.:06:16.

In the wake of June's referendum result, which saw the UK

:06:17.:06:19.

opting to leave the EU, Sinn Fein called on the Secretary

:06:20.:06:22.

of State to hold a border poll under the terms

:06:23.:06:24.

However, as our political editor Mark Devenport explains,

:06:25.:06:28.

Between the mid-August and early September, we interviewed more than

:06:29.:06:44.

1000 people face-to-face at locations across Northern Ireland.

:06:45.:06:48.

There are questions for the BBC were designed to shed some light on

:06:49.:06:52.

Northern Ireland after Brexit. In the immediate aftermath of June's

:06:53.:06:56.

referendum, Sinn Fein call her a border poll to decide Northern

:06:57.:07:00.

Ireland's constitutional status. Only one third of those interviewed

:07:01.:07:03.

agreed with them whilst more than half don't want a border poll. A

:07:04.:07:09.

further 15% didn't know whether they wanted one not. Predictably,

:07:10.:07:12.

enthusiasm for a border poll is greater amongst people with a

:07:13.:07:18.

catholic background than those with the Protestant background. More than

:07:19.:07:20.

half of the Catholics interviewed backed holding a border poll whilst

:07:21.:07:25.

more than seven out of ten of the president interviewed opposed such a

:07:26.:07:29.

move. Not surprisingly, because you live to the border, the more likely

:07:30.:07:32.

you seem to be in favour of a referendum. This shows the highest

:07:33.:07:42.

level of support with 47% in favour of holding a border poll whilst

:07:43.:07:45.

greater Belfast appears to be the most sceptical -- sceptical with 60%

:07:46.:07:51.

against the idea. Having established whether people want a border poll,

:07:52.:07:56.

they then went on to ask the key questions. How would you vote and

:07:57.:08:00.

has the UK's decision to leave the European Union change to your view?

:08:01.:08:05.

We will have the answers to those questions on it tonight's edition of

:08:06.:08:06.

the View. And to learn the full results

:08:07.:08:10.

of that opinion poll, don't forget to watch The View

:08:11.:08:12.

on BBC One at 10.45pm You're watching BBC Newsline.

:08:13.:08:15.

Still to come on the programme: An institution of the airwaves,

:08:16.:08:22.

Talkback celebrates its 30th year. A woman who was sexually abused

:08:23.:08:29.

as a child by her foster father has waived her right to anonymity

:08:30.:08:33.

to urge other victims Jackie O'Connor's foster

:08:34.:08:36.

father, Brian Gregory was jailed after pleading

:08:37.:08:40.

guilty to several I went to meet Jackie this afternoon

:08:41.:08:44.

at her home in Bangor. A secret kept for almost 30 years

:08:45.:08:58.

has finally been revealed. Abused from the age of five until she was

:08:59.:09:03.

11, Jackie O'Connor says she always knew it was wrong. Her abuser

:09:04.:09:07.

admitted the charges and was jailed for four years. Jackie has two small

:09:08.:09:11.

children and it was their birth that finally gave her the courage to go

:09:12.:09:15.

to the police. I want my children to know that they can always come to me

:09:16.:09:21.

and tell me anything, they will never be any secrets in my house.

:09:22.:09:27.

When they are old enough, they will be told. She says the four-year

:09:28.:09:31.

sentence has given her release and the strength to go on with her life.

:09:32.:09:36.

It impacted on my entire life until I went to the police. It's only now

:09:37.:09:40.

that I feel I can be the person that I want to be. I feel strong. How do

:09:41.:09:47.

she feel now about the only father she had ever known? I feel sad for

:09:48.:09:55.

him. I really feel sad for him that he... He took my childhood away. He

:09:56.:10:07.

ruins a father daughter relationship. I feel sad that way.

:10:08.:10:12.

Although advised against going public, she says she wants to tell

:10:13.:10:15.

other people who have been abused to have the confidence to come forward.

:10:16.:10:19.

I think it's really sad to know there are so many out there and they

:10:20.:10:24.

feel they don't have support really don't have anybody. To go forward

:10:25.:10:30.

and go to the police to report this. They must do it. There is so much

:10:31.:10:36.

support out there, there's a whole big network and you will have full

:10:37.:10:41.

support. And it will make a difference? Of course, a huge

:10:42.:10:45.

difference. How do you feel about life and I'm looking forward?

:10:46.:10:51.

Amazing, honestly, it's amazing. I have life name, it's a week there

:10:52.:10:54.

has been lifted off me. Jackie O'Connor speaking to me earlier.

:10:55.:10:56.

The charity, Childline, says it carried out nearly 350

:10:57.:10:58.

suicide counselling sessions with children

:10:59.:11:00.

According to the NSPCC, who runs the service, girls are far more

:11:01.:11:04.

likely to make the call and talk to a counsellor than boys.

:11:05.:11:07.

Ita Dungan has been finding out more.

:11:08.:11:16.

Thoughts of taking your own life means feeling of despair, darkness

:11:17.:11:22.

and utter loneliness. That is the situation each child in Northern

:11:23.:11:26.

Ireland found themselves in nearly every day of last year. For the

:11:27.:11:31.

first time, ChildLine has been able to break down some of its National

:11:32.:11:37.

statistics. The figures show almost 350 children each year contact the

:11:38.:11:40.

charity and mentioned suicidal thoughts or plans. Girls, the

:11:41.:11:46.

figures suggest, are six times more likely to share those suicidal

:11:47.:11:50.

feelings with a ChildLine volunteer than boys. According to the

:11:51.:11:53.

statistics, it is children between the ages of 12 and 15 who are most

:11:54.:12:00.

at risk. And across the UK, the number of children talking to the

:12:01.:12:04.

charity about taking their own lives has increased by 120% since 2011.

:12:05.:12:12.

The reasons why children have such a difficult time vary greatly. Some

:12:13.:12:17.

children at a very early age we do notice suffer from depression and

:12:18.:12:20.

that will make it very difficult for them to make friends and maintain

:12:21.:12:24.

friends. They may not have a good family background, it could be

:12:25.:12:28.

abusive, a whole variety of issues that will link into this. Being told

:12:29.:12:33.

that someone to talk to is very much part of youngster's lives. Every

:12:34.:12:38.

year we will deliver the programme to approximately 435 private schools

:12:39.:12:45.

reaching more than -- many children. Hopefully through their journey

:12:46.:12:49.

through school, they will get is really important messages reinforced

:12:50.:12:53.

many times throughout their education. Speaking out and staying

:12:54.:12:57.

safe, a simple but effective message.

:12:58.:12:58.

It's the start of the academic year and a busy time for our colleges

:12:59.:13:01.

For the school leavers who got their GCSE and A-level

:13:02.:13:05.

results last month, a college can be a pathway to employment

:13:06.:13:08.

Donna Traynor visited the South Eastern Regional

:13:09.:13:12.

This is the space building in the Bangor, a ?12 million facility that

:13:13.:13:29.

opened just last year for students in performing arts, competing and

:13:30.:13:34.

engineering. It has industry grade facilities and the emphasis here is

:13:35.:13:38.

very much on matching the students with skills that are necessary to

:13:39.:13:43.

get a job in industry ought to make them entrepreneurs of the future.

:13:44.:13:49.

This really is a melting pot for education from A-levels to

:13:50.:13:52.

apprenticeships, two foundation degrees. With me are two people

:13:53.:13:56.

who've been to this college. You left school when you had your GCSEs.

:13:57.:14:02.

What was your journey after that? I continued on to the level three

:14:03.:14:05.

extended programme which is the equivalent to three A-levels. I then

:14:06.:14:09.

progressed straight through the foundation degree. What subject did

:14:10.:14:18.

you study? Engineering. It was a mixture between manufacturing

:14:19.:14:22.

engineering and my degree was Mecca try, that is basically mechanical

:14:23.:14:28.

and electronic engineering. I like both aspects of engineering which

:14:29.:14:32.

was decent. Why do you think this was the best course for you to do? I

:14:33.:14:37.

always wondered whether or not it was going to be the job I wanted,

:14:38.:14:43.

like engineering. With this course, I was able to do my placement within

:14:44.:14:48.

the second year and it was only three months but three months is

:14:49.:14:50.

easy enough to know whether you are going to like what you're going to

:14:51.:14:54.

do and I very much enjoyed it. Best of luck in the future. You did go to

:14:55.:14:59.

university to start off with but then it changed your course and

:15:00.:15:06.

education. What happened? I had been studying medical science at

:15:07.:15:09.

University and didn't like it and dropped out and moved home. I wasn't

:15:10.:15:13.

finding any opportunities that I wanted so that I began looking

:15:14.:15:16.

education again and looked at the open University. I thought the

:15:17.:15:21.

competing degree would give me the best chance of employment. How

:15:22.:15:25.

important is it to have those practical skills in the workshops

:15:26.:15:30.

here? It's been very valuable for myself. Without it, I wouldn't have

:15:31.:15:35.

the practical experience I need in my day-to-day job now. Good luck in

:15:36.:15:39.

the future. It is a melting pot of education and is lots of students on

:15:40.:15:44.

this campus, this man is in charge of the curriculum. How important is

:15:45.:15:48.

that linking education with employment? It's absolutely vital

:15:49.:15:55.

for us. We need to ensure that we are supporting the local economy in

:15:56.:16:01.

Northern Ireland and part of that is the skill level of our staff so we

:16:02.:16:07.

invest a lot of time and effort into the professional development and

:16:08.:16:10.

ensuring that our staff have the right skills to deliver practical

:16:11.:16:14.

experience of students require. What makes you different from the

:16:15.:16:20.

University? One of the main differences is the focus is on the

:16:21.:16:24.

practical skills, we have smaller class sizes and the student loan to

:16:25.:16:28.

support each other and learn from each other. A big focus for us... We

:16:29.:16:37.

send staff over to Germany to train up on skills that we can then bring

:16:38.:16:46.

back and deliver to our students. We have attendance rates of 90% and 90%

:16:47.:16:53.

of the students who complete go on to either further study or

:16:54.:16:57.

employment. Those statistics speak for themselves. -- 98%. We have

:16:58.:17:04.

sustained a performance over a number of years. Some strings will

:17:05.:17:08.

come to this college and others who have completed their GCSEs and then

:17:09.:17:11.

out of the school environment which can be quite a shock. How do you

:17:12.:17:15.

help them in the transition? During the first two weeks of time, we have

:17:16.:17:19.

an induction to the college and the purpose of that is to develop the

:17:20.:17:26.

team-building exercises with our students. Students will inevitably

:17:27.:17:29.

learn from each other as much as learning from the tutor. They will

:17:30.:17:34.

get that support throughout the year from their peers. We want to make

:17:35.:17:39.

sure that the very happy in the college and can settle in quickly

:17:40.:17:42.

and become accustomed to the freedom that they wouldn't have at a normal

:17:43.:17:49.

or a school environment. Thank you. It is the start of the new academic

:17:50.:17:53.

career, the start of an exciting and new challenge for so many of the

:17:54.:17:57.

students here in the Bangor and elsewhere. If you'd like to share

:17:58.:18:02.

your experience of going to college, look at the conversation on our

:18:03.:18:08.

Facebook page. Coming up on the programme before seven, the

:18:09.:18:11.

Paralympian Bethany Firth breaks her own world record in Rio.

:18:12.:18:15.

A Londonderry woman who died after trekking in Indonesia last

:18:16.:18:18.

year is being remembered by a project in her name

:18:19.:18:20.

The young physio helped save the lives of several people

:18:21.:18:25.

The Lisa Orsi Foundation will also sponsor young people

:18:26.:18:33.

Here's our north-west reporter, Keiron Tourish.

:18:34.:18:40.

Lisa died in March last year after suffering extreme altitude sickness.

:18:41.:18:47.

Although only 22, she'd have travelled the world and lived life

:18:48.:18:51.

to be filled. She was working as a physio in Singapore hospital was

:18:52.:18:56.

part of this team which won the 24 Asian games in Kuala Lumpur. A

:18:57.:19:02.

foundation has been set up in her name. The aim is to give youngsters

:19:03.:19:06.

a chance to travel and experience new cultures. But they have to earn

:19:07.:19:11.

their chance to take part in the Asian games in China later this year

:19:12.:19:15.

by coaching younger members at their local clubs around the county. The

:19:16.:19:20.

last couple of years in the summer camps here I've been helping out and

:19:21.:19:24.

just trying to get the club up and going and get the most out of the

:19:25.:19:27.

games because they are always overlooked in the sport. The

:19:28.:19:31.

foundation also promotes organ donation. After her death, Lisa

:19:32.:19:37.

helped save more than five live as well as having several others. The

:19:38.:19:42.

more we keep Lisa's memory alive, the more people will decide, first

:19:43.:19:49.

of all, to take sport seriously, willing to donate their organs if

:19:50.:19:55.

the worst thing happens. The more Lisa's memory is alive, the more

:19:56.:19:59.

people will be inspired. We miss Lisa terribly bad but this is the

:20:00.:20:02.

one thing that is really keeping us going in life. The teenagers

:20:03.:20:06.

involved have enjoyed the challenge of coaching the children but for

:20:07.:20:11.

Lisa's family, it was also another important aspect to all of this

:20:12.:20:15.

highlighting the benefits of organ donation and how that can give

:20:16.:20:23.

precious life to many others. A lasting legacy.

:20:24.:20:24.

A special birthday was celebrated today -

:20:25.:20:26.

BBC Radio Ulster's Talkback programme has been

:20:27.:20:28.

A party was thrown in its honour here at Broadcasting house and BBC

:20:29.:20:32.

Newsline got an invitation. Helen Jones reports.

:20:33.:20:39.

30 years and going strong in an ever-changing industry, that is

:20:40.:20:45.

something to celebrate. Balloons, cake and party food, lots of guests

:20:46.:20:50.

and listeners who have been tuning in from the very start. I've been

:20:51.:21:00.

listening to Prugh from day one. -- Prugh. Prugh almost didn't get a

:21:01.:21:06.

slot back in the day when the BBC took a chance. 2015 National

:21:07.:21:08.

Security Strategy and Strategic Defence and Security Review it broke

:21:09.:21:11.

the mould in those days 30 years ago. Top back, the programme that

:21:12.:21:17.

gets people talking and not only on air that fear. Lots of interesting

:21:18.:21:22.

public affairs in Northern Ireland and we are better for it.

:21:23.:21:53.

I thought Ian Paisley was going to jump into the roof when he heard it.

:21:54.:22:02.
