Here on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
The Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness says his party | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
colleague Mairtin O'Muilleoir has his full support and will not be | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
The Assembly's Finance committee called for him to stand aside | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
during an investigation into a secret contact | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
between a witness to the committee's Nama inquiry and the man | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
who was chairing the committee at the time - | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
The Finance Minister say he has not done anything wrong. | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
Here's our political correspondent, Gareth Gordon. | :00:38. | :00:46. | |
As Finance Minister Mairtin O'Muilleoir has one of the biggest | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
jobs at storm want. But not long ago he was playing Mairtin O'Muilleoir | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
MLA, a member of the finance committee on the day it had | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
explosive evidence from this man, loyalist Jimmy Bryson. His colleague | :01:04. | :01:12. | |
... Given that there has been reference | :01:13. | :01:30. | |
to the finance member then of the committee, Mairtin O'Muilleoir, now | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
a minister. People are picked up what he would say, when he would | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
say, at what stage you would comment. It is now impossible in any | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
fair process for a minister to be carrying on an office and have the | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
confidence of the assembly. The call for the minister to step | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
aside was backed by all the other parties on the committee bar Sinn | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
Fein. The confidence has been so seriously | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
eroded and damage that he cannot possibly continue, regardless of | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
whether he is guilty of misdemeanours or inappropriate | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
behaviour or not. But Mairtin O'Muilleoir claimed -- | :02:10. | :02:19. | |
but other members were accused of playing politics. | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
The committee for standards is investigating this issue and that is | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
the place for that investigation to take place. That committee bordered | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
on farcical at times today. For all that was said today, the | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
committee they cannot force Mairtin O'Muilleoir to resign. That is both | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
his party and he has Sinn Fein's full support so far. Emphasising | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
that support this afternoon, Mark McGuinness said... | :02:51. | :03:02. | |
The committee meets again in a fortnight, but all sides showing | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
signs of digging in. A number of pupils at a Newry school | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
have been disqualified from an A-level exam | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
and had their grades cancelled. The sanctions came after | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
an investigation by an exam board, as our education correspondent, | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
Robbie Meredith, reports. The BBC understands that around 15 | :03:17. | :03:31. | |
students here at Our Lady's Grammar School who sat the exam in Sociology | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
are affected. It is understood that a number of questions from exam | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
taken in late June were shared on social media by some students had to | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
the test earlier jitter timetable class. That is not understood how | :03:49. | :03:56. | |
the claims came to light but the students were informed of the | :03:57. | :03:57. | |
outcome and the sanctions last week. No one from the school was available | :03:58. | :04:13. | |
for interview but, in a statement to the BBC, they said they regretted | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
the incident. The also said the matter was dealt with by the school | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
and the examination board in line with qualifications guidelines and | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
the students involved sanctioned. There has been no suggestion, they | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
went on, of any breach of examination or individuation | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
protocol by the school. The also new that this was a time of difficulty | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
for the students and they would offer support to those affected, who | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
had had an unblemished record thus far. | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
A man with multiple sclerosis says he feels his human rights have been | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
violated by a "Do Not Resuscitate" order being put on his medical file. | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
Neill Birnie, who's 48, is paralysed from the neck down | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
The Northern Health Trust insists the order was discussed | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
Our Health Correspondent, Marie-Louise Connolly, | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
Despite his condition, Neill Birnie wants to live as long as possible. | :05:08. | :05:24. | |
Communicating but by a computer, Neill gloves I did joke and has a | :05:25. | :05:35. | |
wicked sense of humour. Let me assure you the lights are on | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
and I am definitely at home. Mentally alert, in 2014 after being | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
admitted to hospital with pneumonia, Neill discovered a DNR order was | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
placed on his record. He did not ask for one, nor did his family. | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
There was no effort to ask for my opinion. The consultants did at the | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
end of my bed flight by two junior doctors saying that I had to face | :06:07. | :06:16. | |
facts and I had -- he had consulted with the intensive care unit and so | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
he was putting her do not resuscitate order on my file. | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
In a statement, the health board said... | :06:27. | :06:47. | |
Guidelines emphasise the need for medics to clearly discuss the impact | :06:48. | :06:57. | |
of a DNR notice. Equally, a family should be notified of the impact CPR | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
can have any person's body. It is terribly distressing because | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
someone who has had CP are applied to them, he is maybe elderly frail | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
or sick and the CPR can be traumatic. | :07:12. | :07:19. | |
A puppy arrived last week for Neill's 48th birthday. They hope it | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
will heal the scars. The precious gift of my life was | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
considered valueless by the hospital. | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
He says is mission is to spread the message that not all chronically ill | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
patients are waiting for assisted suicide. | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
The police in Brazil claim to have uncovered emails | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
between the arrested Olympic official Pat Hickey and a sports | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
company in which they discuss the illegal sale of Rio tickets. | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
In a news conference this evening, the police gave further | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
Mr Hickey, who has stepped aside as the President | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
of the Olympic Council of Ireland, denies the allegations. | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
Pat Hickey's arrest in Brazil six days ago sparked controversy around | :07:56. | :08:12. | |
the world. This evening, investigators in Rio claimed tickets | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
had been transferred from the Council of Northern | :08:16. | :08:27. | |
Ireland to THG Sports, who didn't have licensed to sell them. Three | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
senior officials were asked to attend this police station for | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
questioning but one has since been told he's free to leave. Another has | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
yet to give his statement and must do so within the next two days. It | :08:46. | :08:54. | |
is not clear when the former OCI German Pat Hickey will appear in | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
court. -- chairman. It was alleged that Patrick E's wife was told he | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
had gone to Ireland when they arrest attempt was made. He says his | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
attention -- detention by police was under mere assumptions. | :09:16. | :09:31. | |
Two abandoned seal pups that were nursed back to full health have | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
Conor Macauley was with them as they took to the water. | :09:38. | :09:47. | |
The backyard is not normally the place you'd expect to find seal pups | :09:48. | :09:55. | |
but Peril and Coral have been living here for almost two months. The | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
biologist it going when they were abandoned. Knows -- now that they | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
have had a specialist formula of milk and cream -- crushed fish and | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
cream, it is time to send them back although they do not seem that keen | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
on the idea. They were underweight at birth which normally means | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
certain death unless an expert like Sue intervenes. | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
They have to be able to swim with the mother and the water for their | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
mother to care for them and they wouldn't have been able to keep up | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
and would have got stranded. So they are on their way back to the | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
sea, hopefully to hook up with other members of the seal family. But | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
after several weeks of hand rearing, there is an inevitable bond. One | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
takes off without much persuasion but for the other, parting is a long | :10:55. | :11:05. | |
drawn-out affair. Even she is more attracted to other | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
seals than us so as soon as she is able to break that bond she will be | :11:10. | :11:19. | |
fine. That is more than 20 pups that Sue | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
Wilson has helped back into the waves. | :11:23. | :11:30. | |
Out into the big bad world. Football now and Dundalk's heroic | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
attempt to become the first Irish side to make the Champions League | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
group stages narrowly failed as they lost 3-1 to Legia Warsaw | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
on aggregate, despite a 1-1 Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
successfully steered Celtic into the group stages | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
of the Champions League, despite a 2-0 defeat tonight, | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
the Scottish champions beating Hapoel Be'er Sheva of | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
Israel 5-4 on aggregate. The weather forecast | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
with Cecilia Daly. Skies clearing nicely across | :11:51. | :12:03. | |
Northern Ireland and it looks like being clear and dry for the rest of | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
the night. A cooler night than recent nights with temperatures | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
dropping into single figures, especially in the countryside, and | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
that may lead to some fog in the morning. A fresh start as well. But | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
a nicer day than today. Dry virtually everywhere and lots of | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
sunshine, especially through the morning. It is a fine summer 's day | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
across much of Britain and Ireland. Maybe a few showers for Western | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
counties of Ireland in the afternoon and some sharp showers across parts | :12:36. | :12:50. | |
of southern England. It won't be as hot everywhere across England and | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
Wales tomorrow but temperatures will still get close to 30 degrees in the | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
London area. I think we will still be happy with the temperatures in | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
Northern Ireland after a quite dismal day. We are likely to see | :13:00. | :13:10. | |
more showers on Thursday but still semi-decent temperatures. It looks | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
like the showers disappear on Friday so another fine day with sunshine | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
and temperatures close to 20 degrees. Saturday is dry but with | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
more cloud and adventure Lee some but hopefully a good part of the day | :13:25. | :13:25. | |
will be tried. At | :13:26. | :13:31. |
