court handling of the loyalist protest, has an impossible job got

even harder? Gay marriage - Stormont says no again as Northern Ireland is

:00:23.:00:28.

about to go its own way. This is something that is already legal in

:00:29.:00:32.

the rest of the UK and not yet here for some reason only known to the

:00:33.:00:37.

DUP. Gary Barlow described her voice as incredible, Sam Bailey will be

Frampton is on the brink of the tonight with his manager, Barry

McGuigan. And we tonight with his manager, Barry

:00:53.:00:56.

opponent to take him on. We start tonight with breaking news.

:00:57.:01:32.

Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams has been arrested in connection with the

:01:33.:01:37.

1972 murder of mother of ten Jean McConville. He presented himself to

:01:38.:01:41.

the police the seasoning and was arrested. Here is what he said about

:01:42.:01:50.

the case. Brendan Hughes alleged there was only one man who gave the

:01:51.:01:58.

order for that murder. Batman is the head of Sinn Fein. That is what

:01:59.:02:06.

Brendan Hughes said. Did you give the order for the execution of Jean

:02:07.:02:11.

McConville? I had no active part to play in either the abduction, the

:02:12.:02:14.

killing or the burial of Jean McConville or any of these other

:02:15.:02:19.

individuals and Brendan was telling lies. Jean McConville was a

:02:20.:02:25.

37-year-old widow, abducted from her West Belfast home and shot dead by

:02:26.:02:31.

the IRA. Gerry Kelly, what is your reaction? Gerry Adams said if you

:02:32.:02:37.

weeks ago that he would talk to the police and offer to talk to the

:02:38.:02:41.

police and he has done that and I have to say it is gratuitous that he

:02:42.:02:47.

has been arrested, he went there of his free world. What is gratuitous?

:02:48.:02:56.

There was no reason to arrest him. How do you know? Because I know. If

:02:57.:03:01.

someone goes to the police station and is immediately arrested, that is

:03:02.:03:07.

the wrong way to deal with that. He is the one who offered to talk to

:03:08.:03:14.

the police. My thoughts are with the family because this rings back the

:03:15.:03:18.

memories of the loss of her mother and I welcome this development, it

:03:19.:03:23.

shows that nobody is above the law and Gerry Adams, that arrest will be

:03:24.:03:27.

welcomed by a lot of people. A lot of people felt that Sinn Fein

:03:28.:03:31.

leaders were not going to be arrested for crimes they may have

:03:32.:03:34.

committed and the First Minister this week said that if the evidence

:03:35.:03:40.

is there, people should be arrested and ultimately charged, if the

:03:41.:03:44.

evidence stacks up so I hope it does not end with Gerry Adams. If

:03:45.:03:48.

evidence comes against Martin McGuinness and he needs to be

:03:49.:03:51.

arrested, he should be and brought before the courts. They need to be

:03:52.:03:55.

held accountable for crimes they may have committed. These are the people

:03:56.:04:01.

you are in government with? That is correct and we went into government

:04:02.:04:06.

knowing full well the history when it comes to Sinn Fein

:04:07.:04:09.

representatives but that does not change but what we have always made

:04:10.:04:14.

clear is if anyone committed any offence, regardless of who they

:04:15.:04:18.

are... You should not call anyone guilty unless they find guilty by a

:04:19.:04:22.

court of law and you are bringing Martin McGuinness into this, the

:04:23.:04:26.

Deputy First Minister, the man who parades around with your own First

:04:27.:04:29.

Minister, Peter Robinson, around the world. Arrest him for what? If he is

:04:30.:04:37.

ever investigated for crimes that may well have been committed under

:04:38.:04:41.

his watch, he is a self-confessed IRA commander and if there is

:04:42.:04:45.

evidence, he should be investigated and that leads to arrest, he should

:04:46.:04:50.

be arrested. That is why we said there should be no amnesty, no

:04:51.:04:53.

surprise that Sinn Fein campaign for an amnesty because they knew the day

:04:54.:04:57.

would come when the ghosts would catch up with their wicked crimes.

:04:58.:05:02.

Sinn Fein have never campaigned for any amnesty and the record is there

:05:03.:05:08.

and if he stayed with the Haass talks, you would have known we have

:05:09.:05:13.

argued for the truth process and an international truth process plus the

:05:14.:05:17.

fact that people go through the courts, they can do that. You were

:05:18.:05:22.

the ones who rejected that. You would be very happy going into the

:05:23.:05:28.

selection that if every leader in Sinn Fein was arrested and that is

:05:29.:05:32.

not going to happen. Go to the election, the people, and we will

:05:33.:05:36.

see what happens. A respective of the election... The fact that this

:05:37.:05:43.

has happened, not to the election, it can be more than coincidence. It

:05:44.:05:52.

has been badly timed. Are you suggesting this is deliberate? I am

:05:53.:05:57.

so busy adjusting that it is ordered, to say the least, that this

:05:58.:06:02.

is happening as Gerry Adams is campaigning. I'm being very strict

:06:03.:06:06.

about this, at the time and Gerry Adams is the most popular leader in

:06:07.:06:12.

Ireland. Does that mean Gerry Adams is above to process? You have said

:06:13.:06:16.

he should not have been arrested, it was on timely. It might not be the

:06:17.:06:21.

way that Sinn Fein want business to be carried out. We are talking about

:06:22.:06:26.

the way the police do that and I was questioned under caution not so long

:06:27.:06:31.

ago but I was not arrested. That is the way you do it, I went to the

:06:32.:06:34.

police tension and I was questioned under caution and that is a simple

:06:35.:06:39.

way to do this. There is no reason that could not have been done now.

:06:40.:06:46.

Someone made the decision, and you are criticising the PPS. The PPS

:06:47.:06:54.

made its choice and I would agree with you only on this, that it

:06:55.:06:57.

should be consistent and nobody is above the law. In this instance, I

:06:58.:07:02.

believe the timing of this and the fact that it is coming into the

:07:03.:07:07.

election, that has significance. Let us move on. The police chief has

:07:08.:07:14.

this irritated legal and sometimes violent loyalist Flag protests, that

:07:15.:07:18.

is a verdict of a High Court judge on the PSNI this week. This could

:07:19.:07:23.

have massive implications on policing, parades and protests.

:07:24.:07:27.

Gerry Kelly, let us start with you on this. How do you read this

:07:28.:07:34.

judgement and the implications for how policing should occur in

:07:35.:07:39.

Northern Ireland in the future? The judgement is emphatic and every go

:07:40.:07:44.

to the beginning of this on December 2012 and I spoke on a number of

:07:45.:07:48.

locations and we did meetings with the Chief Constable and others and

:07:49.:07:52.

we said they were facilitating parades and the judge has said

:07:53.:08:01.

exactly that was the truth. They argued that there was some confusion

:08:02.:08:03.

in the law and there was no confusion. These were illegal

:08:04.:08:09.

parades and I understood that and the head of the Parades Commission

:08:10.:08:13.

understood that, Peter Osborne, and indeed they try to push this onto

:08:14.:08:17.

the Parades Commission. In fact, he said, as we did, any parade is

:08:18.:08:22.

supposed to be applied for and therefore it should be dealt with as

:08:23.:08:27.

a legal. Clearly, what the police are trying to do is look at the big

:08:28.:08:30.

picture and what would happen if they moved in to try to block any

:08:31.:08:35.

parade or make arrests on the day and that took an operational

:08:36.:08:37.

decision to make some of those arrests later on. Let us look at the

:08:38.:08:44.

practical example. I am waiting for you to say that you expect arrests

:08:45.:08:47.

to happen immediately! Let us do with this, what this was about,

:08:48.:08:53.

about parades every Saturday passed the Short Strand, which the police

:08:54.:08:58.

could have stopped and they were illegal and you say, why would they

:08:59.:09:03.

not? Because was violence, the people in the Short Strand, the

:09:04.:09:06.

residents deserve to be protected and they were not. That is the fact.

:09:07.:09:14.

Are you saying that they should not protect them? That is interesting

:09:15.:09:19.

because the Chief Constable went to a Westminster committee, the

:09:20.:09:23.

Northern Ireland committee, and he said his fear was he might have had

:09:24.:09:27.

to deal with 2000 or 10,000 or 20,000 so he is succumbing to the

:09:28.:09:33.

fact that there might have been more violence. He is being realistic. He

:09:34.:09:38.

is not, are you saying that because someone threatens or in his view, he

:09:39.:09:43.

thinks this might have increased, that is a reason to allow the people

:09:44.:09:47.

of the Short Strand to be attacked? Just to be clear, you want the

:09:48.:09:54.

police... Matt Baggott apologised, he apologised to the people of the

:09:55.:09:57.

Short Strand because it did not protect them. He says he will appeal

:09:58.:10:03.

this and use tax payers money and it is a waste of time to overcome this.

:10:04.:10:08.

What Canon, plastic bullets, you want the police to go in like that?

:10:09.:10:19.

-- what Canon. -- water. You have but the answer in the question.

:10:20.:10:24.

would have been able to have happened

:10:25.:10:24.

would have been able to have independence of the

:10:25.:10:34.

would have been able to have totally erroneous. This action was

:10:35.:10:34.

taken after the police did what they did over a period of three months

:10:35.:10:40.

and this is a judgement upon that. The Policing Board does the same

:10:41.:10:45.

thing. I cannot argue that we would interfere with the independence of

:10:46.:10:49.

police operations, you have the right afterwards to say this is

:10:50.:10:52.

wrong, or even when the process is going on, say, you are wrong in

:10:53.:10:58.

doing this. We are using those exact words from that judgement, the

:10:59.:11:02.

police are facilitating these illegal parades. This is a damning

:11:03.:11:06.

indictment of the police. It is hugely critical but this is the

:11:07.:11:11.

initial trial judge, this is where the Court of Appeal, which is

:11:12.:11:15.

superior, and they will have to consider the evidence before them.

:11:16.:11:19.

Do you support the way the police handled this? I think the police

:11:20.:11:24.

were put under difficult circumstances and they need to have

:11:25.:11:28.

flexibility in dealing with that and often it is the lesser of two evils

:11:29.:11:32.

and that is a choice and the police need to be able to make because if

:11:33.:11:36.

they go in heavy-handed, that can inflame the situation and lead to

:11:37.:11:45.

worse outcomes. Do they stand back? They have to make a judgement as to

:11:46.:11:50.

what they can achieve and what ultimately will be the long-term

:11:51.:11:54.

benefit. They have taken this approach to gather the evidence and

:11:55.:11:59.

come after you. So people get away with breaking the

:12:00.:12:04.

law, then are punished afterwards? People can openly flout the law in

:12:05.:12:08.

this country, then maybe arrested later? That is essentially at the

:12:09.:12:15.

heart of this discussion? But that is a difference between a huge crowd

:12:16.:12:20.

or mob coming into our district, attacking the district, and in the

:12:21.:12:23.

case of many of these protests, there were three or four or five

:12:24.:12:28.

young people, running, standing in the street, clearly a difference

:12:29.:12:31.

between that, and the difficulty here is the decided to take inertia

:12:32.:12:40.

as a policy, not dealing with the three or four people optimistic, but

:12:41.:12:46.

in the earlier, when you had hundreds and possibly thousands

:12:47.:12:49.

coming down and who were at times violent, they decided to do nothing

:12:50.:12:54.

about that, that is what is wrong, not the argument that police cannot

:12:55.:12:59.

make a decision. The police cannot win, and need the flexibility to

:13:00.:13:05.

make a judgement call, I am concerned this constrains them to be

:13:06.:13:09.

able to handle situations that can be very volatile in an appropriate

:13:10.:13:14.

fashion, but if the judgement is upheld, the implications, not just

:13:15.:13:18.

the Loyalists, who need to uphold the law, and if they break the law,

:13:19.:13:21.

there will be consequences, no one is beyond the law. But in Republican

:13:22.:13:26.

areas, with illegal Republican parades, the police don't even put

:13:27.:13:35.

police officers into those areas, allowing Republicans to police

:13:36.:13:39.

themselves, and the police need to be in those areas, need to stop any

:13:40.:13:47.

criminal activity. There is a question about political leadership,

:13:48.:13:51.

and we can remind ourselves what was happening, Peter Robinson telling

:13:52.:13:54.

the protesters to stay off the streets, meanwhile some members of

:13:55.:13:59.

the DUP were the protesters, let us remind you of this, and that the

:14:00.:14:03.

police turned on those protesters, gone in there with a tough response,

:14:04.:14:08.

what with the DUP have said? Thanks in their own members, inside those

:14:09.:14:16.

protest? There were times when we were critical of how the police

:14:17.:14:19.

conducted themselves towards a lot of these protests, but occasions

:14:20.:14:25.

when police officers were calling me and saying, protesters taking

:14:26.:14:29.

place, we need you to be there and use your influence to keep people

:14:30.:14:34.

calm. And I went there and helped people calm. I told them they should

:14:35.:14:42.

not be blocking the roads, needed to clear the roads, helping to diffuse

:14:43.:14:46.

the situation. The man in the glasses? The police are dammed if

:14:47.:14:54.

they do, dammed if they don't, Gerry Kelly is head of the Policing Board,

:14:55.:14:59.

and he may not agree with me. But I would say that there was a potential

:15:00.:15:06.

for this to escalate across the whole province, if the police had

:15:07.:15:10.

been heavy-handed, but I'm glad that Mr Kelly is saying there should be

:15:11.:15:16.

heavier placing and the police should be farmer, because I would

:15:17.:15:20.

like to see this at the public and parades, when Dresden paramilitary

:15:21.:15:26.

guard, dressed with masks this week. -- when dressed in. I wonder if they

:15:27.:15:33.

can get photographs and identify those people. Alan Mains, what

:15:34.:15:44.

position does that put the pleasing? -- put the police in? We need to

:15:45.:15:49.

take the politics out of policing, they make decisions with the best

:15:50.:15:54.

possible information given the circumstances, and maybe a year 16

:15:55.:15:58.

months later, a judge in the comfort of the courts there is they have

:15:59.:16:03.

done it wrong, basically. I do not think anyone anticipated two years

:16:04.:16:08.

ago what would happen, and I think the police, I believe, dealt with it

:16:09.:16:13.

as best as they could without escalation. Before five people Jerry

:16:14.:16:17.

talks about standing on a corner, women and children would become five

:16:18.:16:22.

or 6000 had the police done something. With the police have

:16:23.:16:29.

enough resources when something is kicking off to move in, not watch

:16:30.:16:34.

and make arrests later? We must go back in time and they openly did not

:16:35.:16:40.

have the resources to deal with it, and will go on record to say that,

:16:41.:16:44.

they do not have the army as they did in previous times, did not have

:16:45.:16:49.

mutual aid, did not have been trained in riot situations. He is

:16:50.:16:54.

saying exactly what Matt Baggott said. If you had gone over to four

:16:55.:17:01.

or five people, and incidentally some of the police on the ground

:17:02.:17:05.

were seeing this to us, simply go over and say, you have ten minutes,

:17:06.:17:11.

we need you to move off the street, had that turned -- hide a good time

:17:12.:17:21.

then to five 6000 is beyond me. -- how that would turn into five or

:17:22.:17:27.

6000 is beyond me. I repeat what I said earlier. There is an absolute

:17:28.:17:31.

difference between border five people, blocking the street, not

:17:32.:17:37.

causing difficulty, and hundreds of people coming down who were going

:17:38.:17:42.

through an area they knew was an interface and we're there would be

:17:43.:17:49.

trouble. If there were a Republican sitting in the middle of the road in

:17:50.:17:52.

protest, are you telling the police to move in and move them off that

:17:53.:17:59.

road? I have said this on different occasions, about a blanket judgement

:18:00.:18:06.

about the police making a different decision on five people, I find it

:18:07.:18:14.

people... But if it is Republicans? I knew you would do this. So you

:18:15.:18:23.

should have had an ants. -- had an ansa. So the police might have

:18:24.:18:33.

discretion? Of course they do. Let me tell you this, I do not know why

:18:34.:18:37.

I have to repeat this, there is a difference between

:18:38.:18:42.

I have to repeat this, there is a information about for a five people

:18:43.:18:43.

blocking a road, and information about for a five people

:18:44.:18:47.

later and dealing with that issue, because they may not have the

:18:48.:18:51.

manpower, and protecting our district, an enclave of people where

:18:52.:18:55.

there are hundreds, sometimes thousands, coming down and there

:18:56.:19:00.

could be violence. No one is arguing about that. Let us be clear, you

:19:01.:19:04.

could repeat this ten times, about that. Let us be clear, you

:19:05.:19:11.

they believe to be the right thing for all people. And can be wrong.

:19:12.:19:19.

they believe to be the right thing They protect life and people, call

:19:20.:19:23.

it as they see it, and the judge can decree something else, the police

:19:24.:19:28.

are big enough to say that that flags see that. -- the police are

:19:29.:19:35.

big enough to see that. The lady at the back. The people on the

:19:36.:19:44.

Newtownards Road a attack, even on Easter Monday, you see it on

:19:45.:19:49.

television when the parades are coming back, people attacked, so you

:19:50.:19:54.

should not sit there and say hi Innocent people are, because they

:19:55.:20:00.

are not, and they can be the ones instigating it. And you are sitting

:20:01.:20:09.

there saying they are not. We should not label an entire district, should

:20:10.:20:15.

we? We should not say they are innocent, and they can be the ones

:20:16.:20:19.

causing the problems. I have seen it myself, when one parade was

:20:20.:20:26.

attacked, not one person was lifted, it was on YouTube, showing you the

:20:27.:20:30.

faces of people throwing paint bombs, babies, old men, women

:20:31.:20:38.

enjoyed, for what? Why are they not being held accountable? It was not

:20:39.:20:45.

all of Short Strand. The young man up year, go ahead. One main point I

:20:46.:20:52.

will make is obviously the police were heavy-handed with even

:20:53.:20:56.

protesters who were not doing anything wrong at the end of the

:20:57.:20:59.

day, and the police still being heavy-handed, keeping on pushing and

:21:00.:21:04.

pushing, making everyone walk away. No one wanted to walk away. They

:21:05.:21:09.

wanted to stand there believing what they believe in. You spoke about

:21:10.:21:17.

Short Strand. Some president areas are tightly and night. -- Protestant

:21:18.:21:26.

areas. You willing to take responsibility for the lack of

:21:27.:21:28.

leadership that leaves the police in the middle, you cannot find

:21:29.:21:33.

compromise, cannot work it out, then the police are left in the middle?

:21:34.:21:39.

Getting battered? The police again are dammed if they do, dammed if

:21:40.:21:45.

they don't. Whose fault is that? Your fault? Other politicians'? When

:21:46.:21:55.

walking past Short Strand, those people should not be subject to

:21:56.:22:01.

attacks. Politicians cannot agree, that has something to do with the

:22:02.:22:09.

DUP and other parties? Sinn Fein have moved to a cultural campaign

:22:10.:22:14.

and if they respect cultures, tensions will not be raised, which

:22:15.:22:17.

they go out of their way to raise and get hackles up. Sinn Fein would

:22:18.:22:23.

be the last people -- the first people to criticise the police if

:22:24.:22:27.

they went into the Short Strand so the people parading past were not

:22:28.:22:31.

subject to attacks, the first to say that was over the top, the police

:22:32.:22:35.

should have allowed space, but when it comes to Loyalist, the police

:22:36.:22:42.

need to not hold back, but take a softly, softly approach in

:22:43.:22:47.

Republican areas. I did not say this should we then anywhere. Most people

:22:48.:22:53.

listening, 100 police officers injured during that time, not just

:22:54.:22:58.

by standing by, but proactively trying to withhold and hold the rule

:22:59.:23:04.

of law, so let's be that in mind, the 700 arrests that followed, let's

:23:05.:23:14.

be that in mind. Final word. He is right and we should be that in mind.

:23:15.:23:20.

I am for proper policing and I am on the Policing Board for that purpose.

:23:21.:23:26.

But your position is not at risk because of the odd timing of the

:23:27.:23:31.

arrest of Gerry Adams? Why should I consider it? You still support them?

:23:32.:23:40.

We are on the board to hold them to account. You are right, but taking a

:23:41.:23:46.

particular incident, and I was trying to say that was okayed. If

:23:47.:23:50.

the police act wrongly, it is right to criticise them. And they are big

:23:51.:23:59.

enough to take that. Matt Baggott has taken it on the chin, he has

:24:00.:24:06.

apologised. He is appealing it, has criticised criminal justice

:24:07.:24:14.

Inspectorate ports, and he had -- cruel justice Inspectorate ports, he

:24:15.:24:17.

is more famous for refusing criticism than he is for taking it.

:24:18.:24:24.

Very unfair. Please give our guests round of applause. Lots to talk

:24:25.:24:31.

about tonight. I have no doubt that plenty of you in the audience will

:24:32.:24:38.

be keen to join the debate. There is the number. If you are treating as,

:24:39.:24:51.

you can do that, here are the details. -- if you are tweeting us.

:24:52.:25:04.

Now, my next guest is on his way to superstardom in the world of boxing.

:25:05.:25:08.

Earlier this month, he saw off Hugo Cazares inside two rounds in front

:25:09.:25:14.

of a packed home crowd in Belfast. That leaves the way clear to

:25:15.:25:17.

challenge Santa Cruz for the world super-bantamweight title. Take a

:25:18.:25:20.

look at this. A nice little one two from Hugo

:25:21.:25:28.

Cazares. My gosh! Brilliant left-hand! Superb punch from

:25:29.:25:36.

Frampton! Hugo Cazares can't believe it! He has been counted out! He has

:25:37.:25:47.

stopped him! He got it wrong. He was listening to their kind and has been

:25:48.:25:53.

counted out. -- listening to the count. He's here with his manager.

:25:54.:25:58.

It's Carl Frampton and Barry McGuigan. CHEERING. That was some

:25:59.:26:21.

reception! Thank you very much! I believe you have some fantastic

:26:22.:26:28.

news? My wife, Christine, is pregnant! I just find out. That is

:26:29.:26:45.

the scan. 12 weeks. I am going to have to blame this man for this!

:26:46.:26:54.

Really? ! All of the training camps, back at home. In between fights.

:26:55.:26:59.

That is what has caused that! I am pleased. That is really special. Not

:27:00.:27:09.

your first? No, I have a daughter, Carla, she is three. Lovely kid,

:27:10.:27:15.

very nice, getting cheeky but that is good. We can see your daughter on

:27:16.:27:22.

screen in a second. In the world of boxing it always strikes me that

:27:23.:27:28.

here you have all of the dangers that is often talked about and then

:27:29.:27:33.

you have this family life. You are a daddy and soon for a second time.

:27:34.:27:35.

Look at that. Does that bring daddy and soon for a second time.

:27:36.:27:41.

home to you the danger that your sport has? It does, it is a

:27:42.:27:48.

dangerous sport. You go in there and my last fight, the first time I ever

:27:49.:27:55.

had to do it, I had to sign a form for the WBC, that if anything

:27:56.:28:02.

happened to me, who gets the purse. It is a dangerous sport. But there

:28:03.:28:10.

are rules and stuff. How do you handle that in your mind? You do not

:28:11.:28:15.

think about it and it is few and far between, injuries, but there are

:28:16.:28:21.

also injuries and other sports. Does your wife worry about you? As the

:28:22.:28:27.

fights get more important, she does. What does she say? She is watching

:28:28.:28:34.

the fights and at the ringside she is watching through her fingers. She

:28:35.:28:42.

cries a lot. Barry, his family and other people have to put their arms

:28:43.:28:47.

around her. That is the bit I did not think about. The wife of a

:28:48.:28:53.

boxer. And the worrying. That would be very natural? It is the only

:28:54.:28:59.

sport where you can kill someone. There is the gorgeous girl. Fabulous

:29:00.:29:07.

girl. And she handles and very well but each fight becomes more

:29:08.:29:11.

important and there is more pressure and the significance is greater and

:29:12.:29:16.

greater and we are at the pinnacle, right at the very top. And this kid

:29:17.:29:24.

is sensational. How good is he? One of the best fighters I have ever

:29:25.:29:30.

seen. Why? I just see him in training and I watch him and I know

:29:31.:29:34.

what he does and if he can reproduce a deeper centre that, that is

:29:35.:29:40.

phenomenal, this stuff he does. And I have been in this game for a long

:29:41.:29:44.

time and I have seen hundreds and thousands of amateurs who never

:29:45.:29:48.

quite made it professionally. It is just the stuff he does, his punches,

:29:49.:29:53.

the power and the ability, going back and forward, his speed and

:29:54.:29:58.

intelligence and he is a very nice kid, that is the bonus. Most boxers

:29:59.:30:06.

who are very talented are pretty skittish. And volatile. Would you be

:30:07.:30:13.

jealous of him? You wish it was still view? You had his youth and

:30:14.:30:19.

you were landing the sponges) he wishes he had my hair! -- be

:30:20.:30:33.

punches. No, we all, in fact, everybody who comes to watch him, he

:30:34.:30:38.

lives their life vicariously. They want to see him doing well and that

:30:39.:30:42.

is the most amazing thing about this kid and for all of the fighters that

:30:43.:30:46.

have come between me and him, over the years, I do not think anybody

:30:47.:30:50.

has got the sort of response this kid has got. They really love him

:30:51.:30:56.

and they want to see him doing well. They live every minute and second

:30:57.:31:01.

with him. I saw the where the Belfast crowd had just packed out

:31:02.:31:07.

the arena here in the capital city and we will see this in a second.

:31:08.:31:15.

Just watch this. Just the atmosphere at home that was created in Northern

:31:16.:31:19.

Ireland. And this is a crowd united, both communities. This is what you

:31:20.:31:25.

are doing in Northern Ireland? What does it feel like? Honestly, it is

:31:26.:31:33.

amazing, I love it. I never expected that I would ever get that big and

:31:34.:31:39.

I'm still not a world champion yet. I am just trying to imagine winning

:31:40.:31:44.

the world title and coming back home to defend that. It is amazing. What

:31:45.:31:51.

are the chances of getting that major fight here in Northern

:31:52.:31:57.

Ireland? That will be difficult. We are against it because we're still

:31:58.:32:04.

in the negotiating phase but we have heard that possibly Santa Cruz is

:32:05.:32:10.

not as keen as he was and after that left hook, that he not died Hugo

:32:11.:32:14.

Cazares with, he would not be as keen. He was very keen before the

:32:15.:32:22.

fight. Checking? I do not think so but he is thinking more carefully.

:32:23.:32:31.

This is mandatory, so he has to fight him. We were hoping it would

:32:32.:32:35.

be sooner but if it is not within nine months, he has to give up his

:32:36.:32:41.

belt. What is your message to him? I will not call anybody out, he knows

:32:42.:32:45.

that I want to fight him and that is all that needs to be said. That is

:32:46.:32:50.

pretty lightweight. It is not lightweight! Don't pick on me! That

:32:51.:32:57.

will happen later on. He said before the fight that he desperately wanted

:32:58.:33:03.

to fight because this is the most exciting fight of any of these super

:33:04.:33:12.

bantamweight fighters. Carl Frampton and Santa Cruz, that is the best

:33:13.:33:17.

combination of styles and all of the fans of the game, they can see this,

:33:18.:33:21.

the most exciting fight in this division. Why could we not wring

:33:22.:33:25.

something like that coming to Northern Ireland? We have seen that

:33:26.:33:29.

with the golf and the cycling. Why not here? Boxing is most popular,

:33:30.:33:36.

successful sport that this has ever had. By a country mile. -- that this

:33:37.:33:45.

country. The government, are you listening? Give me a hand. It is

:33:46.:33:55.

difficult for them. It is an individual sport and I don't want to

:33:56.:33:59.

give them any excuse but it is difficult so we just want to get him

:34:00.:34:03.

over here to fight. It looks highly unlikely we can get the fight back

:34:04.:34:08.

here. Are you obsessed by him? Everyday when training? Not really,

:34:09.:34:15.

when training I am usually thinking about my next meal, really! Tell me

:34:16.:34:30.

about it! When I am eating, I'm thinking about the next meal! But I

:34:31.:34:35.

am not obsessed, I want to fight Santa Cruz, he has to fight me at

:34:36.:34:44.

some point. Will you be Tim? 100%. -- beat him. Do you know what? I

:34:45.:34:58.

really hope that Barry McGuigan is right, I hope that you go all the

:34:59.:35:04.

way. And I can tell, I have been at this for awhile, and when walks out

:35:05.:35:08.

there, the result was applause but sometimes there is that little extra

:35:09.:35:12.

run from the crowd and you will know this, what that is about is star

:35:13.:35:18.

quality. You have got it. And the people of Northern Ireland are

:35:19.:35:21.

behind you and we hope you go all the way. Thank you very much. Thank

:35:22.:35:41.

you. Right. Just before you go, we have a little bit of a surprise for

:35:42.:35:47.

you because we have lined up a mystery challenger for Carl Frampton

:35:48.:35:59.

later on. Are you up for it? Yes. That is coming up later on. Bring it

:36:00.:36:07.

on! Stay watching. Please show your appreciation one more time for Ari

:36:08.:36:13.

McGuigan and Carl Frampton! -- Barry McGuigan. Thank you. Right... Still

:36:14.:36:29.

to come... You had over 1 million votes! How do you feel? We have a

:36:30.:36:36.

stunning performance from X Factor winner Sam Bailey. Right. The second

:36:37.:36:51.

debate. Yesterday, same-sex marriage was rejected by the Stormont

:36:52.:36:54.

Assembly for the third time within 18 months. 51 MLAs

:36:55.:36:55.

Assembly for the third time within voted yes. Disappointment for those

:36:56.:37:01.

who were lobbying our politicians to support the change. Here's what some

:37:02.:37:05.

equal marriage protestors had to say in Belfast earlier this week. Equal

:37:06.:37:23.

marriage, yes we will. England and Scotland have passed an even better

:37:24.:37:26.

bill and it is time Northern Ireland stepped up to the plate. For more

:37:27.:37:33.

people to be getting married is a great thing, celebrating love and

:37:34.:37:36.

stability and the joy that people have. I just find it upsetting that

:37:37.:37:43.

Northern Ireland is taking one step backwards. I am not able to get

:37:44.:37:50.

married in May own country, I would have to go to England or Scotland.

:37:51.:37:55.

The DUP would have me believe that I am already in the UK, so why would I

:37:56.:38:02.

have to go there to get married? I am gay and at the time civil

:38:03.:38:05.

partnership came in, I thought this is not good enough. There needs to

:38:06.:38:10.

be equality on this. I want the right to be available here. We

:38:11.:38:15.

believe in the institution of marriage and we want to get married.

:38:16.:38:21.

More and more, Northern Ireland is getting a reputation for being godly

:38:22.:38:24.

and I am embarrassed sometimes when I go on holiday and tell people

:38:25.:38:32.

where I am from. People will go to the polls knowing that some

:38:33.:38:35.

politicians here do not want to fight for the policy for equality

:38:36.:38:49.

between two people. Equal marriage! Lots of use will be coming into the

:38:50.:38:56.

programme. All of the details are coming up. Catriona Ruane, the

:38:57.:39:04.

Assembly has voted this down three times. Sinn Fein brought this motion

:39:05.:39:14.

two days ago. It was to ensure that there was equality for all citizens

:39:15.:39:17.

here in the North. You knew that you were going to lose this? It was not

:39:18.:39:22.

to enter anything? We hoped that the Assembly would support equality for

:39:23.:39:30.

the gay community. They did not. The DUP used a petition of concern to

:39:31.:39:36.

block it and I think it is absolutely disgraceful. I will tell

:39:37.:39:39.

you why... We have six ministers from the DUP. Five ministers and one

:39:40.:39:45.

junior minister and they have a responsibility under the law, under

:39:46.:39:55.

this, and one of them is for sexual orientation equality and the

:39:56.:39:57.

minister who is responsible for jobs, trade, enterprise and

:39:58.:40:01.

investment is speaking out against equality. She includes you, Arlene

:40:02.:40:07.

Foster? I would expect that but this is not about equality and that has

:40:08.:40:11.

been recognised by the United Nations, Europe and our own human

:40:12.:40:15.

rights commission, this is not about equality. And I will not take

:40:16.:40:20.

lectures about equality on human rights from Catriona Ruane, an

:40:21.:40:24.

apologist for an organisation that engaged in the abduction of Jean

:40:25.:40:29.

McConville, took them away, from her ten children... Are you going to

:40:30.:40:42.

allow libellous comments like that? She is talking about the IRA. You

:40:43.:40:48.

can respond. What Arlene Foster is doing is deflecting from the fact

:40:49.:40:53.

that their own party have been against gay and all of the different

:40:54.:40:56.

issues that have come before the Assembly, her Health Minister...

:40:57.:41:03.

They have squandered money. Defending the indefensible. ?100,000

:41:04.:41:09.

to date on the court cases, appealing court cases. Using our own

:41:10.:41:17.

money. The money of the people here. It is incorrect about what she said

:41:18.:41:20.

about equality because this is an equality issue. If you read what the

:41:21.:41:26.

equality commission said... It said this is an equality issue. The gay

:41:27.:41:33.

and lesbian committee should get equality. Tell gay people either in

:41:34.:41:41.

this audience or at home why they cannot marry the people be loved?

:41:42.:41:47.

Legal recognition of their relationships was given and civil

:41:48.:41:54.

partnerships. And you did pose that? Just for clarity. And if you

:41:55.:42:02.

could, you would reverse it? No, that is what the law is now. You

:42:03.:42:09.

accept civil partnerships? Yes. What we are saying is... So you were

:42:10.:42:19.

wrong at the time? We were not. In relation to marriage, I am standing

:42:20.:42:23.

up for the definition of marriage, which is a bollard to the union

:42:24.:42:29.

between a man and a woman, a complementary union that is there

:42:30.:42:32.

for the good of all of society. I am standing up for marriage, I am

:42:33.:42:37.

standing up for marriage, and in terms of equality, she very quickly

:42:38.:42:42.

brushed away the issue that I brought up in relation to Jean

:42:43.:42:47.

McConville, but I am glad there will be equality in terms of Jean

:42:48.:42:50.

McConville, no matter who was involved in her murder and

:42:51.:42:55.

disappearance, that they will be brought to justice. Can we stick to

:42:56.:42:59.

this issue. That is an important issue that we need to address.

:43:00.:43:06.

People will want to talk about this. For example, this young man. From a

:43:07.:43:13.

Christian perspective, the Bible says God instituted marriage between

:43:14.:43:17.

one man and one woman. And in the beginning it was Adam and Eve, not

:43:18.:43:24.

Adam and Steve. So what gives Sinn Fein the right to propose this

:43:25.:43:27.

motion when God started the institution? This is the third time

:43:28.:43:33.

this debate has been brought up in the assembly. Why is the

:43:34.:43:37.

this debate has been brought up in Democratic... Will of the assembly?

:43:38.:43:45.

Yellow macro why is the Will not being respected? It is being

:43:46.:43:55.

respected. Three times, our LGBT communities were discriminated

:43:56.:43:57.

against and Sinn Fein will continue to bring motions to ensure equality

:43:58.:44:03.

and will make no apology for it. In relation to Christianity...

:44:04.:44:09.

and will make no apology for it. In I respect your right to hold

:44:10.:44:11.

and will make no apology for it. In but part of the motion we brought

:44:12.:44:15.

forward gives churches but part of the motion we brought

:44:16.:44:19.

define and practice marriage according to their beliefs,

:44:20.:44:22.

define and practice marriage we are and what we are supposed to

:44:23.:44:25.

be our legislators and we should legislate on the basis of equality.

:44:26.:44:33.

This young man at the front, Dean, and maybe you can in a nutshell,

:44:34.:44:37.

This young man at the front, Dean, knowing it is a long story, and you

:44:38.:44:39.

will be on the radio programme tomorrow, but you try to take your

:44:40.:44:44.

own life, because you did not feel... I did not feel accepted, did

:44:45.:44:49.

not feel I was normal. feel... I did not feel accepted, did

:44:50.:45:05.

disgusted people cannot marry. And what that man in the audience said

:45:06.:45:10.

about the Bible, and the Bible also said it did not remit and women to

:45:11.:45:15.

express authority, but you would have to stand down. CHEERING.

:45:16.:45:27.

So if you are going to that certain beliefs to suit your needs, it

:45:28.:45:32.

cannot be idle for one and a different one for anyone else and

:45:33.:45:33.

your slogan for the European different one for anyone else and

:45:34.:45:38.

election is, let's keep Northern Ireland moving forward, you should

:45:39.:45:41.

start, never mind keep it moving forward. Thank you for mentioning

:45:42.:45:56.

our last slogan... We are not getting into the European election

:45:57.:46:00.

slogan, don't! Let's address his issue. You know why we are not

:46:01.:46:07.

getting into this. It is my question, we have had enough from

:46:08.:46:14.

Catriona. I never mentioned the Bible. But a lot of your members do.

:46:15.:46:23.

People without faith believe in marriage. What would your problem

:46:24.:46:32.

be? I respect who you are. I respect you. We will not get married?

:46:33.:46:42.

LAUGHTER. I am already married. Go with me one second, take the heat

:46:43.:46:44.

out of this, and the point-scoring, you see is his place in this

:46:45.:47:26.

society, he wants to be equal and feels to get married would underline

:47:27.:47:32.

his equality? But the two are separate issues and we need a wider

:47:33.:47:36.

discussion about rights and about the rights of the LGBT communities.

:47:37.:47:41.

And I am up for that. But you need to understand as well how dear the

:47:42.:47:46.

institution of marriage is the people of faith and people of no

:47:47.:47:51.

faith. Because they believe in a complementary union between a man

:47:52.:47:57.

and a woman. But not every gay person would get married, they

:47:58.:48:00.

should be allowed the choice in 2014. All right. Here's what some of

:48:01.:48:06.

our MLAs who opposed the motion had to say. Marriage has only one

:48:07.:48:13.

definition. It is a lifelong commitment between one man and one

:48:14.:48:20.

woman. That has been the accepted position since the dawn of creation.

:48:21.:48:27.

It is not appropriate to the -- to brand those who oppose same-sex

:48:28.:48:35.

marriage as bigoted and backward, it is people of many faiths and they

:48:36.:48:41.

should not be lamb asked it. I do not believe there is widespread

:48:42.:48:45.

public support in Northern Ireland for such a proposal. Whilst I remain

:48:46.:48:50.

tolerant of the views and lifestyles of others, the same cannot be said

:48:51.:48:54.

of those who want to promote change of this nature to Christians, whose

:48:55.:48:58.

personal convictions put them at odds on an issue such as this. If a

:48:59.:49:05.

man says, I am in love with two women, is he in title -- entitled to

:49:06.:49:12.

have polygamous marriage? That equality embrace polygamy? Do we

:49:13.:49:17.

have to provide for everyone because that is their right? I am

:49:18.:49:22.

pro-marriage and profamily and believe we would go down the wrong

:49:23.:49:25.

road today if we believe we would go down the wrong

:49:26.:49:30.

such a fundamental institution. -- if we were. Lots of your views. This

:49:31.:49:40.

man here. The argument this man put across there, saying it was a

:49:41.:49:44.

dominion and Adam and Steve, what an embarrassing argument! -- saying it

:49:45.:49:51.

was Adam and Eve. Andy Ackerman is put forward by the DUP are the same

:49:52.:49:56.

arguments put forward in the 70s against interracial marriage. --

:49:57.:50:03.

arguments put forward. They look foolish and you look foolish.

:50:04.:50:12.

Someone at the very back. I am a Christian, but the Bible was written

:50:13.:50:17.

2000 years ago, and what happened 2000 years ago in that society, and

:50:18.:50:23.

we are not moving forward, quoting stuff from 2000 years ago! Reverend

:50:24.:50:33.

David McIlveen? The Bible carries the same principles we want to

:50:34.:50:37.

espouse and indoors for society. Thou shalt not kill, not steal, and

:50:38.:50:43.

so on, but Mrs Forster touched an important point and that marriage is

:50:44.:50:48.

not based on equality, but something more, based on a complementary

:50:49.:50:51.

relationship between husband and wife. We had a beautiful picture of

:50:52.:51:00.

Carol Frampton and his wife, and expecting child, which is what form

:51:01.:51:07.

society and marriage is the foundation for family life for the

:51:08.:51:10.

mutual health of society and comfort. -- Carl Frampton. I agree,

:51:11.:51:20.

we had a beautiful picture, but could equally have had a beautiful

:51:21.:51:26.

picture of two young men or women. At the demonstration the other day,

:51:27.:51:28.

there were lovely young women with their child, and that child in a

:51:29.:51:36.

lovely happy loving home. What we need is love, we do not need

:51:37.:51:39.

discrimination. It is an equality issue. And the question I would like

:51:40.:51:58.

to put to Arlene. You against the decriminalisation of homosexuality,

:51:59.:51:58.

except it because it is the law. They were against civil partnerships

:51:59.:51:59.

and accepted because it is the law. If a legal cases taken because of

:52:00.:52:02.

inequalities for lesbian and gauge unities in terms of marriage, and it

:52:03.:52:07.

is successful, will be DUP are accepted? Or will you with public

:52:08.:52:16.

money? One minute. We have devolution and make the laws. We are

:52:17.:52:26.

legislators and I will and for the question. We are the legislators,

:52:27.:52:31.

not the courts, we make the laws, and under the legislation given to

:52:32.:52:34.

us it is up to the people, and democracy, that provide a lot, you

:52:35.:52:39.

mentioned the petition of concern, which was not needed because there

:52:40.:52:46.

was a majority against the motion. And this is the last question. You

:52:47.:52:51.

said at the beginning of this interview that you should look at

:52:52.:52:56.

the rights for gay people. I'd use seeing the DUP as a party is

:52:57.:53:00.

actively looking at giving gay people more rights? The issue of

:53:01.:53:07.

rights, such as the right to be recognised as next of kin, that is

:53:08.:53:11.

not necessarily wrapped up in marriage. And a dialogue can be had.

:53:12.:53:21.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank Arlene Foster and Catriona Ruane. Unlikely

:53:22.:53:32.

career change. But that's exactly what happened to my next guest when

:53:33.:53:36.

she scooped the top prize on The X Factor. Since then, she has

:53:37.:53:39.

supported Beyonce on her World Tour, clocked up a number one album in the

:53:40.:53:43.

UK charts. Just last month, she announced she's expecting her third

:53:44.:53:46.

child. Ladies and gentlemen, singing Get Here, please welcome Sam Bailey.

:53:47.:53:47.

biggest mouth in the country! A sumo wrestler who put on weight for this

evening. Let us be having you into the centre of the ring, gentlemen.

might be. Can we ring the bell? Away we go.

:58:46.:58:49.

LAUGHTER. Oh! The court nor Lindauer. -- he caught Nolan! I

:59:07.:59:23.

Go and not that one out! -- go and knock that bum out!

Will you start hitting me properly! Carol Frampton is getting the better
