Good evening. There has been condemnation of a pipe bomb attack | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
on a police patrol in Londonderry last night. The device did not | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
explode, nobody was injured. The attack was close to a controversial | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
bonfire in the bogside. Teresa Craig has this report. | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
Hundreds cheered watching on as the bonfire standing over a 20 foot high | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
is lit. It has been a controversial issue in recent weeks, with some | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
residents fearing it would spark anti-social behaviour. Crowds watch | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
on and the mood seems celebratory, at odds with the security alert the | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
PSNI say began last week after a pipe bomb was thrown at a police | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
patrol. This morning, this is the scene. Small rises and debris | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
littered the street. Wood and glass lay strewn across the road. This | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
bonfire still burns, much like the issues that surround it. It is | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
something that deeply divides this community and there is some anger in | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
the area. People feel threatened and vulnerable. There is a lot of anger | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
there, yes. People are saying it is a disgrace, you know, the way the | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
committee has then left. Has been widespread condemnation of the | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
attack on the police, which happened near by, and against the burning of | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
union flags and Sinn Fein election posters. Some political | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
representatives are blaming dissident republicans for a leading | :01:40. | :01:48. | |
young people astray. Without a shadow a doubt. The dogs off the | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
street are aware of the connected trade between some anti-community, | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
anti-social behaviour like this and those kind of organisations. Sinn | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
Fein posters were on this bonfire. Is that perhaps an indication that | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
you have lost touch with people here? Not at all. It is not the | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
first time a Sinn Fein poster was on a bonfire. If that is incitement to | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
hatred then we need to do with it is not the first time a Sinn Fein | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
poster was on a bonfire. If that is incitement to hatred then we need to | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
deal with that in that context. One local councillor says that younger | :02:16. | :02:24. | |
people... In the area have been forgotten about. By Nationalist and | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
Republican politicians. This is not only a mistrust of the police, this | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
is a massive mistrust of political representatives and community | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
representatives. There is a massive disconnect from the people this area | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
to what they would see as the establishment. A clean-up operation | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
is now underway. It will finish no doubt long before this debate has | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
ended. The Police Federation which | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
represents officers has called for an inquiry into the police | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
ombudsman's office. The call follows the revelation that a gun and | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
ammunition seized nine years ago were discovered in the office of one | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
of its investigators. The items should have been returned to an | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
evidence store but were found in a filing cabinet in June. The | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
investigator concerned resigned days after an internal inquiry began. He | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
said he had been planning to retire for some time. The Police Federation | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
says the discovery shows the ombudsman's office needs scrutiny. | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
At the Olympics, T Marilyn's last hope for a medal in boxing ended in | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
controversy. Belfast's Michael Conlan, tipped for gold, was beaten | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
in the quarterfinals. Stephen Watson reports from Rio. | :03:40. | :03:48. | |
It was a result unpopular with most people who watched the fight in the | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
arena. Michael Conlan's Olympic dream lay in tatters. He lost the | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
bruising on round contest against his Russian opponent on a unanimous | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
decision. And then the Belfast man vented his frustration at the judges | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
afterwards. They have stolen my Olympic dream and robbed me of | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
something I have cleaned off all my life. You know, I have always said I | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
was going to be Olympic champion. Today I feel it has been robbed of | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
me so I am distraught. I may not be crying but inside I am. Michael's | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
father is also his coat and the decision left him very angry. I | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
thought we won that fight clearly. First round we destroyed the guy. | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
Middle to long distance of the plan. I don't know what the judges are | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
looking at, what can fight are looking at. I can't even speak. | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
Stinking. He will never box amateur again if I have anything to do that. | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
Why should you? Form team Ireland, eight boxers qualified for the | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
Olympics all go home empty-handed. Elsewhere at the games there was | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
better news for the ceiling. A second medal. It was Ireland's first | :05:02. | :05:12. | |
sailing medal in 36 years. And the duo of Ryan Seaton and Michael Govan | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
are still in contention for a medal in the 49er class. They can be | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
together on Thursday. Well, we had some lovely one plunging today but | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
the weather is about to change with the forecast details for the next | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
few days. Hello, good evening. After a fine, | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
summary couple of days, things are about to... | :05:36. | :05:46. | |
Around 12 or so. A different day coming up tomorrow. A weather front | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
moving and that is going to be bringing spells of rain with that. | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
Initially, it is a dry start for many. Even some progress towards the | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
east, but the cloud will soon be filling in. That wrinkling and | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
towards the West. That persistence and body of rain moves across the | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
Republic of Ireland. Locally heavy bursts, some thunder mixed in as | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
well. And we will see some of that rain edging towards the West of | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
Scotland, western parts of Wales, and on towards the south-west of | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
inward. But to the east of that, it is still fine and summary. Plenty of | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
sunshine and we will see temperatures into the mid-20s | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
towards the South east. For Northern Ireland, where it is more | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
disappointing end to the it. Wait, still from Dundry bursts. | :06:27. | :06:33. |
