:00:14. > :00:24.Good evening. This is BBC Newsline, with Donna Traynor and Noel

:00:24. > :00:28.Thompson. The headlines this Friday evening: the police apologised to a

:00:28. > :00:32.couple whose wedding be stopped because they thought it was an

:00:32. > :00:36.immigration scam. A man is accused of killing his

:00:36. > :00:41.cousin in a hit-and-run. Marian Price is charged in

:00:41. > :00:45.connection with the murder of two soldiers.

:00:45. > :00:48.And in a new deal, Ireland will save hundreds of thousands of euros.

:00:48. > :00:52.There's something strange on the beach at Portstewart, but what is

:00:52. > :00:55.it? Find out later in the programme. Also, on the North Coast they're a

:00:55. > :00:58.big step closer to landing a major golf tournament.

:00:58. > :01:06.Will it be a weekend for ice-cream and barbeques? I'll have your

:01:06. > :01:09.First to the sham wedding that wasn't. Just before they were to

:01:09. > :01:13.say "I do", the bride and groom were arrested and the couple spent

:01:13. > :01:16.the next five hours in a police station. The police said they

:01:16. > :01:19.suspected it was an immigration scam. By the time the police

:01:19. > :01:22.admitted they'd made a mistake, the ceremony at the Guildhall in

:01:22. > :01:25.Londonderry had been cancelled. The couple, who are expecting their

:01:25. > :01:33.first child, say the police apology doesn't even begin to make up for

:01:33. > :01:38.the disruption of their big day. Julia Paul reports.

:01:38. > :01:43.They may look like any young couple in love. But when Neil McElwee and

:01:43. > :01:47.his Chinese fiancee, Yanan Sun, tried to get married this week, the

:01:47. > :01:49.police thought differently. Suspecting the marriage was just a

:01:49. > :01:54.immigration purposes, as the ceremony was about to go ahead,

:01:54. > :02:00.they arrested the couple. They were taken to a police station, Forster

:02:00. > :02:04.to dress in forensic clothing and separated. This is our wedding day.

:02:04. > :02:11.They made a big mistake. I kept trying to explain to them, say to

:02:11. > :02:18.them, this is insane. You know, how has this happened? They were

:02:18. > :02:24.looking at the ground. I had my make-up done and my hair done. It

:02:24. > :02:30.was perfect. I was very excited for my wedding and to see my husband.

:02:30. > :02:35.In just two minutes, I got to the city walk and then had to go to

:02:35. > :02:39.another room. The couple were held for five hours and only released

:02:39. > :02:44.when the solicitor colder. She says it appears the police may have been

:02:44. > :02:50.looking for illegal immigrants. One wedding guest has been referred for

:02:50. > :02:56.deportation. I do have concerns that the board Agency have taken a

:02:57. > :03:03.few here that if it is a sham, it is a great opportunity for this

:03:03. > :03:08.wedding ceremony to see how many nationals here do not have their

:03:08. > :03:13.paperwork in working order. police said they had an anonymous

:03:13. > :03:17.tip-off. They have accepted their mistake. We have apologised and

:03:17. > :03:22.said we are sorry for the trauma we caused them, and we do get things

:03:22. > :03:28.wrong. Eventually, the couple were able to marry the next day but they

:03:28. > :03:33.say nothing will make up for what happened. They have completely

:03:33. > :03:39.destroyed our day. I don't think we will ever be satisfied. We got

:03:39. > :03:42.married on Wednesday but all the magic and Spock had disappeared.

:03:42. > :03:45.The cousin of a man who died after a hit-and-run in Coalisland has

:03:45. > :03:48.been charged with his murder. Declan Quinn was knocked down on

:03:48. > :03:51.Saturday. Today 21-year-old Anthony Joseph Quinn of Maplebrook Hill, in

:03:51. > :03:59.Coalisland, was in court. Our district reporter, Louise Cullen,

:03:59. > :04:07.reports. Appearing at the Magistrates Court

:04:07. > :04:11.was Anthony Joseph Quinn, from a poor Burchill. The 21-year-old is

:04:11. > :04:16.charged with driving while disqualified. His cousin died on

:04:16. > :04:19.Monday, two days after he was hit by a car. The sergeant objected to

:04:19. > :04:24.bail and told the court Anthony Joseph Quinn was already on bail

:04:24. > :04:28.for assaulting a guard. There also concerns about failing to attend

:04:28. > :04:33.court and interfering with witnesses. The solicitors said his

:04:33. > :04:39.client had gone to his mother's house, where he made arrangements

:04:39. > :04:42.to hand himself in on Tuesday. The court was told this was not

:04:42. > :04:47.resemble hit-and-run. He said the client had been called to his

:04:47. > :04:56.father's house and was being attacked. When he arrived, three

:04:56. > :05:01.man chased him by car and on foot. The Declan Quinn was then attacked

:05:01. > :05:09.with a hammer. Anthony Joseph Quinn ducked behind the wheel, fearing

:05:09. > :05:13.for his life, and then realised his windscreen had been smashed.

:05:13. > :05:17.Anthony Joseph Quinn's solicitor said he had answered all the police

:05:17. > :05:21.questions and had broken down after giving his account. Bail was

:05:21. > :05:24.refused and he will appear again next month.

:05:24. > :05:28.The convicted IRA bomber Marian Price has been charged in

:05:28. > :05:30.connection with the murders of two soldiers in Antrim in 2009. She is

:05:30. > :05:34.accused of providing property for the purposes of terrorism,

:05:34. > :05:37.understood to be a mobile phone. Mrs Price, now known as Marian

:05:37. > :05:41.McGlinchey, is currently in prison after her early release licence was

:05:41. > :05:49.revoked earlier this year. Her lawyer says the new charge is an

:05:49. > :05:53.abuse of legal process. Chris Page reports.

:05:53. > :05:59.This is Marian Price, leaving court three months ago to go back to

:05:59. > :06:03.prison. A veteran Republican who is 57 had her early release licence

:06:03. > :06:06.suspended after she appeared at this dissident republican rally.

:06:06. > :06:11.She is also known as Marian McGlinchey, and she held a piece of

:06:11. > :06:16.paper which a man in a balaclava read a speech from. Now she is

:06:16. > :06:22.being charged in connection with the murder of two soldiers in

:06:22. > :06:25.County Antrim. The men were shot dead by the Real IRA in March 2009.

:06:25. > :06:29.Marian Price is accused of providing property, specifically a

:06:29. > :06:34.mobile phone, for the purposes of terrorism. She did not appear in

:06:34. > :06:38.person at the hearing today in Belfast Magistrates Court. Her

:06:38. > :06:41.solicitor told the court she had first been questioned 18 months ago.

:06:41. > :06:49.He argued there must have been insufficient evidence to charge her

:06:49. > :06:54.then. He claims no new evidence has emerged since. He said he would try

:06:54. > :06:57.to RUN out as an abuse of process. He claimed the new charges were

:06:57. > :07:02.linked to the Secretary of State's decision to revoke her early

:07:02. > :07:10.release licence. She was convicted of being a dog and the IRA bombing

:07:10. > :07:13.of the Old Bailey in 1973. -- being involved. The defence lawyer's want

:07:13. > :07:18.to question two senior detectives and another witness about the case

:07:18. > :07:22.against Marian Price. She is expected to appear via video link

:07:22. > :07:26.for the next hearing in the case in two weeks time.

:07:26. > :07:28.The police say a device found in East Belfast was a viable fire bomb.

:07:28. > :07:33.Homes were evacuated in the Harkness Parade and Banbury Street

:07:33. > :07:36.area while the army dealt with the bomb.

:07:36. > :07:42.You're watching BBC Newsline. Still to come on the programme:

:07:42. > :07:52.How Ireland's first female aviator put Carnmoney on the map.

:07:52. > :07:52.

:07:52. > :07:56.And why these sea creatures are A council worker has been killed in

:07:56. > :08:06.an industrial accident in Coleraine. It happened at a recycling plant.

:08:06. > :08:07.

:08:07. > :08:15.Nicola McHugh reports from there. The accident happened just before

:08:15. > :08:19.midday at the recycling plant in Coleraine. These are pictures taken

:08:19. > :08:23.from the scene. The man has not yet been named and few details about

:08:23. > :08:27.what led to his death have been released. The entrance to this

:08:27. > :08:31.disposal and recycling centre remains cordoned off as a full

:08:31. > :08:35.examination is carried out. What we can see inside and to the left is a

:08:35. > :08:40.number of police officers who are carrying out preliminary

:08:40. > :08:44.examinations. War we know is that the victim was a 39-year-old man

:08:44. > :08:50.after becoming trapped behind a lorry somewhere within the site. --

:08:50. > :08:55.what we know of. He worked for the council. A statement has said the

:08:56. > :08:58.accident was a tragedy and that thoughts and prayers are with the

:08:58. > :09:08.family. The Health and Safety Executive has taken over the

:09:08. > :09:11.investigation. The site will remain closed until further notice.

:09:11. > :09:14.Is there finally a glimmer of hope for the Republic's economy? A deal

:09:14. > :09:16.reached among European leaders means a cut in the interest rate

:09:16. > :09:19.Dublin is paying on the international loans which are

:09:19. > :09:22.keeping its economy afloat. Government officials suggest it

:09:22. > :09:25.will mean an annual saving to taxpayers of at least 600 million.

:09:25. > :09:30.Jennifer O'Leary reports. The government had lobbied hard to

:09:30. > :09:38.persuade Europe that the interest rate in Ireland's bail out loan was

:09:38. > :09:45.unsustainable. 45 billion euros of a bail out was stamped with a 5.8%

:09:45. > :09:50.interest rate. The rate was felt to be unfair, but as EU leaders agreed

:09:50. > :09:54.new plans to save the euro, Ireland also secured a number of

:09:54. > :09:59.concessions. At a 2% cut in the bail out interest rate. That is a

:09:59. > :10:03.saving of at least 600 million euros a year. And the period for

:10:03. > :10:07.repaying has been extended to 15 years. The government is keen to

:10:07. > :10:10.stress the positives. We have achieved the interest rate

:10:10. > :10:14.reduction and the extended repayment period takes a lot of

:10:14. > :10:20.pressure off us and makes it much easier for us to we access the

:10:20. > :10:24.international markets to get out of the bail out programme. But the

:10:24. > :10:27.deal last night does not necessarily mean less payment of a

:10:27. > :10:37.public. The Irish government is still spending around & more than

:10:37. > :10:38.

:10:38. > :10:42.it will take in this year in tax. - - around 10% more. And what about

:10:42. > :10:46.Ireland's low corporation tax rate? That Taoiseach is is no conditions

:10:46. > :10:50.are attached to the interest rate condition but they have had to

:10:50. > :10:53.agree to participate in talks which could lead to corporation tax

:10:53. > :10:56.changing. And this evening the Chancellor,

:10:56. > :10:59.George Osborne, has confirmed that the Treasury will cut the interest

:10:59. > :11:04.rate on the �3.2 billion it has loaned to the Irish Government as

:11:04. > :11:08.part of the bail out. A park in Glengormley is being to

:11:08. > :11:10.be renamed in honour of an English noblewoman. But Lillian Bland,

:11:10. > :11:13.whose family lived in County Antrim, was no run-of-the-mill aristocrat.

:11:13. > :11:17.As our district journalist, Ciara Riddell, reports, she's in the

:11:17. > :11:27.history books as the first woman to make and fly her own airplane. But

:11:27. > :11:33.

:11:33. > :11:37.before now her achievement has largely gone unrecognised.

:11:38. > :11:42.1,900s in County Antrim. The fact that Lilian -- Lillian Bland was a

:11:42. > :11:47.woman did not deter her. certainly did things that were not

:11:47. > :11:52.accepted as the norm at that time. She was a tomboy. She would have

:11:53. > :11:57.shot rifles and been part of the boys' club. She was certainly

:11:57. > :12:03.different from everybody else in the village. In 1910 she proved her

:12:03. > :12:07.worth as a pioneering aviator, flying higher plane and months

:12:07. > :12:17.later becoming the first woman to ever fly aboard her own aircraft.

:12:17. > :12:22.

:12:22. > :12:25.Her only help, hair aunt's garden. This was a thrill to me to think

:12:26. > :12:35.that my grandmother would be involved in something like this.

:12:35. > :12:40.This girl, 100 years ago, was able to design and build and fly her own

:12:40. > :12:45.aircraft with no training or knowledge. Today, Queen's

:12:45. > :12:50.University students study her work. A computer-generated image shows

:12:50. > :12:55.just how advanced she was. This was the equivalent of space today. A

:12:55. > :13:02.lot of people still do not believe that flight was possible in those

:13:02. > :13:06.days. So they were on the edge of technology. A model of the plane

:13:06. > :13:10.has now been elected in the park and next month, Lillian Bland will

:13:10. > :13:17.finally get the recognition she deserves when the party is

:13:17. > :13:22.officially renamed in her honour. - - when the park.

:13:22. > :13:30.I had never even heard of her before. Lots of people had not.

:13:30. > :13:32.The sports minister has told BBC Newsline she will attend the

:13:32. > :13:35.Northern Ireland football team's Euro 2012 qualifier next month

:13:35. > :13:38.against the Faroe Islands at Windsor Park. But Caral N Chuiln

:13:38. > :13:45.says she will not be present at the playing of the National Anthem.

:13:45. > :13:48.As you might expect the stance has prompted considerable debate across

:13:48. > :13:50.the airwaves today, but before he got round to talking football, our

:13:50. > :13:53.reporter Austin O'Callaghan first sought the minister's opinion on

:13:53. > :13:59.the possibility of a major golf tournament coming to Northern

:13:59. > :14:04.Ireland. I would welcome all the opens, the

:14:04. > :14:09.Irish and British Open. I think the Irish Open should come off, given

:14:09. > :14:15.that from 14 months ago we have had three sporting champions in golf.

:14:15. > :14:19.Why wouldn't it? Why shouldn't we be organising it to make sure it is

:14:19. > :14:24.brought here? What you support Northern Ireland

:14:24. > :14:29.against the Faeroe Islands? I am hoping to be there. I have

:14:29. > :14:32.received an invitation. I am aware there is an invitation and I am

:14:32. > :14:38.hoping to be there. And will you stand for the anthem?

:14:38. > :14:43.I will not be there for the anthem, that is part of the arrangement.

:14:43. > :14:48.The arrangement I am hoping to reach. I don't want to be

:14:48. > :14:56.politically insensitive to the community, but I don't want to be

:14:56. > :15:03.insensitive to the community I represent, either.

:15:03. > :15:13.Could you not make a gesture? Edwin Poots as -- was at a special

:15:13. > :15:15.

:15:15. > :15:21.game, and with respect, Mary McAleese is not representing wealth

:15:21. > :15:26.but -- west Belfast, I am. We both have our local to his --

:15:26. > :15:29.local constituencies. I am hoping to go to the game without this

:15:29. > :15:32.being an issue. I understand that, but can you

:15:32. > :15:42.understand one section of the community may be slightly offended?

:15:42. > :15:45.I think to be honest the way this will be dealt with will be, there

:15:45. > :15:48.are political sensitivities about me even going to the game,

:15:48. > :15:57.regardless of the anthem, and I am prepared to do that. I am asking

:15:57. > :16:02.people to be flexible, as well. Northern Ireland has taken a

:16:02. > :16:04.significant step closer to hosting a major golf tournament. Royal

:16:04. > :16:07.Portrush was today given Stormont's financial seal of approval. The

:16:07. > :16:10.Executive has confirmed that, should the North coast course

:16:10. > :16:12.attract a European Tour event - likely to be the Irish Open - then

:16:12. > :16:15.it would provide substantial backing. Gavin Andrews has more.

:16:15. > :16:18.These were the scenes when Darren Clarke returned with the Open

:16:18. > :16:24.Championship trophy this week. There is no doubting the support

:16:24. > :16:30.and interest for golf here. Now it is time to take advantage.

:16:30. > :16:35.wanted to grasp the momentum. Watch we need to work on over the next

:16:35. > :16:40.period in time, the structures we need to change, the changes we need

:16:40. > :16:44.to make in relation to the needs of a European Tour event. We are

:16:44. > :16:49.hopeful that we can deliver, because when you look at the

:16:49. > :16:53.logistics around an event, like St George is when people were being

:16:53. > :16:57.brought in from large distances away, I think Northern Ireland

:16:57. > :17:05.could coped well. According to last year's US Open

:17:05. > :17:09.champion, the course is ready. They knew holes have been stretched

:17:09. > :17:13.to 270 yards, and everyone loves this layout and part of the world.

:17:13. > :17:17.When the sun shines, it is particular menace. It is tournament

:17:17. > :17:24.standard, British Open started, and it will be a great test for the

:17:24. > :17:28.best players in the world. It is a stepping-stone to getting this

:17:28. > :17:32.important championship back in this area of the world.

:17:32. > :17:41.One rat -- one man who will be responsible for that is Graham's

:17:41. > :17:46.brother, Gary, who works on the green.

:17:46. > :17:53.It would be fantastic to get a major event here, and C Graham

:17:53. > :17:55.playing, all the Irish boys, it would be great to see. This is a

:17:55. > :18:01.championship course and deserves a good tournament.

:18:01. > :18:05.Still, everything is in place, banning something unforeseen, the

:18:05. > :18:09.Irish links will see a tournament in two years time. There has been

:18:09. > :18:14.private sponsorship, and along with today's Government backing there

:18:14. > :18:17.should be no problem coming up with the 4 million euros it will take.

:18:18. > :18:21.Over the last few years there has been very little love lost between

:18:21. > :18:26.Armagh and Tyrone. The teams meet again tomorrow in an all-Ulster,

:18:26. > :18:29.all-Ireland qualifier. It is a rivalry which has defined gaelic

:18:29. > :18:35.football for the last decade as these pictures from 2005 certainly

:18:35. > :18:38.illustrate. Such was their pulling power that at their collective

:18:38. > :18:41.height the teams regularly brought crowds in excess of 60,000 to croke

:18:41. > :18:42.park. Many of the familiar faces which saw the teams dominate the

:18:42. > :18:44.which saw the teams dominate the footballing landscape will be on

:18:44. > :18:47.display in Omagh tomorrow evening display in Omagh tomorrow evening

:18:47. > :18:52.as they vie for the right to take on Roscommon in the fourth round of

:18:52. > :18:55.the qualifiers. The game is live on BBC Radio

:18:55. > :19:01.Ulster tomorrow as is the double header from croke park where Derry

:19:01. > :19:05.play Kildare followed by Down We stay with gaelic games and ask,

:19:05. > :19:08.is the sport in the grip of a cruciate ligament injury crisis?

:19:08. > :19:11.This season alone, no fewer than 14 high profile inter-county careers

:19:11. > :19:14.have been halted because of serious knee injuries - but do the

:19:14. > :19:18.statistics point to an actual increase? Or is there just a

:19:18. > :19:25.greater awareness of the problem. Thomas Niblock has been to meet one

:19:25. > :19:31.of Northern Ireland's leading knee surgeons.

:19:32. > :19:36.That feels very solid... I would say...

:19:36. > :19:41.Another day at the clinic, another day treating a cruciate ligament

:19:41. > :19:46.injury. The players feel the numbers suffering from the dreaded

:19:46. > :19:51.knee are on the increase. It is not dies. We have seen it all

:19:51. > :19:59.and Bradley and Paddy Bradley with cruciate ligaments. It is a long

:19:59. > :20:05.road to recovery. -- it is not nice. Every day it seems to be someone

:20:05. > :20:09.with cruciate ligament. Whether it is the book's order pictures or the

:20:09. > :20:13.training... However, medical opinion

:20:13. > :20:16.contradicts the theory that cruciate ligament are on the

:20:16. > :20:25.increase. I think the ugliness is on the

:20:25. > :20:30.increase. The numbers have been roughly the

:20:30. > :20:34.same over the past ten years. There is a simple reason why Gaelic

:20:34. > :20:41.Athletic Association players are more likely to suffer knee injury.

:20:41. > :20:45.Gaelic players play in the summer, and the ground is hard. If you

:20:45. > :20:50.plant your studs in the winter, your foot slips, if you plant them

:20:50. > :20:54.in the summer, your foot sticks. The slip can protect the need, and

:20:54. > :20:59.it is the combination of hard ground, studs and the summer that

:20:59. > :21:03.causes the problem. Hard ground, the main reason why

:21:03. > :21:13.some of the top Gallagher Fliss -- Gaelic Athletic Association players

:22:33. > :22:40.workshops are run to give local musicians the chance to develop

:22:40. > :22:45.their talent. It is local talent the chance to be seen and heard. It

:22:45. > :22:50.is all about them, that is the beauty of it, it is just about

:22:50. > :22:54.local talent. Glasgowbury brings huge benefits to

:23:10. > :23:17.For the first time, there is a comedy stage and no shortage of

:23:17. > :23:22.aspiring comedians. Did you hear about the tractor that

:23:22. > :23:26.went down a lane and turned into a field?

:23:26. > :23:29.The old ones are the best! People have been flocking to

:23:29. > :23:33.Portstewart Strand today to see something rather unusual that's

:23:33. > :23:39.washed-up on the shore. BBC Newsline's Natasha Sayee is there.

:23:39. > :23:47.What is going on? The first I had heard about this is

:23:47. > :23:53.when I got a tweet to say a hideous sea monster had washed up in

:23:53. > :24:01.Portstewart. It is fairly hideous. They are just barnacles, is that

:24:01. > :24:04.right? They are not uncommon to this area.

:24:04. > :24:11.We have never had them in this quantity before.

:24:11. > :24:20.This is quite a rare sight? It is. We have had them on various

:24:20. > :24:24.bits of wood before, but never in this quantity. People are flocking

:24:24. > :24:27.to it. They are, and it is an amazing

:24:27. > :24:32.sight with all the different collars. It is something children

:24:32. > :24:35.will probably never see again. They are moving at the moment, but

:24:35. > :24:39.there are some dead ones, what will you do with this?

:24:39. > :24:43.We are talking to our different parts bar agencies to see what best

:24:43. > :24:49.we can do. It is a substantial piece of wood they are all attached

:24:49. > :24:54.to, so we have to see what way we can best move it out over the

:24:54. > :24:57.coming two days. Thank you very much indeed. We

:24:57. > :25:03.understand they are delicacies in Spain, but looking at them is

:25:03. > :25:10.enough to put them off your dinner. Some people like to eat snails and

:25:10. > :25:15.mussels. But if it was all alive and moving

:25:15. > :25:19.it would be horrifying. Well, there are rumours of a heat

:25:19. > :25:20.wave next week, but Cecilia Daly is going to tell us something

:25:20. > :25:25.going to tell us something different.

:25:25. > :25:31.The I am going to sort this remote, once and for all. We are expecting

:25:31. > :25:36.temperatures to rise next week, but what exactly is a heatwave?

:25:36. > :25:39.According to the World Meteorological but -- organisation,

:25:39. > :25:45.temperatures have to be five degrees above the average, for a

:25:45. > :25:51.sustained period, five days or more. That means we need maximum

:25:51. > :25:55.temperatures of 22 or 23 Celsius or more for a week. We may get one or

:25:55. > :25:58.two days like that, but not a heatwave. It will be nice to the

:25:59. > :26:03.weekend, a lot better than it has been, a massive improvement on last

:26:03. > :26:08.weekend. A couple of showers are lingering at the moment, the cloud

:26:08. > :26:12.this afternoon is already picking up, as well. Nice weather this

:26:12. > :26:17.evening, cooling off quickly, and that will be a feature of the

:26:17. > :26:23.weekend weather. Temperatures falling to 45 degrees in the rural

:26:23. > :26:27.areas. Fresh start to the morning, it will warm up nicely with

:26:27. > :26:31.sunshine around. Plenty of sunshine tomorrow morning, and like today

:26:31. > :26:36.the cloud will build towards lunchtime into the early afternoon.

:26:36. > :26:41.Not as much as today and it will stay dry. If you are along the

:26:41. > :26:44.north coast, a bit of a breeze, slightly cooler, but probably the

:26:44. > :26:49.north coast seeing the best of the sunshine. Higher temperatures will

:26:49. > :26:56.be further inland, up to 20 Celsius across parts of the south-east,

:26:56. > :27:01.some areas of cloud building. Great day for Glasgowbury, but chilly

:27:01. > :27:05.evenings, so take some layers with you if you are heading that way.

:27:05. > :27:11.There will be plenty of other nice things to do this weekend, are

:27:11. > :27:15.locked along the north coast. Or, just sit in the back garden. Sunday,

:27:15. > :27:19.more sunshine, slightly higher temperatures. The plots of a screen

:27:19. > :27:23.this weekend, the warm weather continues into next week.

:27:23. > :27:28.We decided earlier the definition of a heatwave in Northern Ireland
