:01:05. > :01:08.Hello. Screening has long been recommended as a frontline weapon
:01:08. > :01:11.against breast cancer but new research suggests it has had little
:01:11. > :01:14.effect on the numbers of people who die from the disease. Death rates
:01:14. > :01:17.are falling but even though Northern Ireland introduced
:01:17. > :01:21.extensive screening more than ten years ago before the Republic, the
:01:21. > :01:24.figures are much the same. The authors in the British Medical
:01:24. > :01:29.journey sake better treatment and improved medicines are helping
:01:30. > :01:34.people live longer. They suggest a move away from universal screening.
:01:34. > :01:36.Our health correspondent Marie- Louise Connolly says the message
:01:36. > :01:40.has been rejected by local patients and medics.
:01:40. > :01:45.Having a mammogram takes a matter of minutes but the results can be
:01:45. > :01:50.life-changing. Every week around 350 women are put -- attend the
:01:50. > :01:55.centre in Belfast. They are aged between 50 and 70 aren't -- and are
:01:55. > :02:00.entitled to the service every three years. A have had four sisters all
:02:00. > :02:04.died with breast cancer. I have always, always come. I have always
:02:04. > :02:07.had it done from the word go. new research suggests that breast
:02:07. > :02:12.cancer screening is having little impact on death rates from the
:02:12. > :02:16.disease. Experts compared data from several European countries --
:02:16. > :02:19.countries, including Northern Ireland and the Republic. Death
:02:19. > :02:23.rates in the North fell by a similar rate to the south, even
:02:23. > :02:26.though screening began more than ten years earlier. We were very
:02:26. > :02:29.disappointed that we were not able to determine the exact amount of
:02:29. > :02:34.the improvement that was due to screening, because there has been
:02:34. > :02:38.such major effect -- such major effects with improvements was
:02:38. > :02:42.treatment and the way services are reorganised. Those who run the
:02:42. > :02:47.screening Service disagreed. Instead they argue that it it plays
:02:47. > :02:50.a vital role in reducing the number of women who die from the disease.
:02:50. > :02:53.Of the 1000 breast cancers in Northern Ireland each year, around
:02:53. > :02:58.one quarter are diagnosed through the screening programme. Otherwise
:02:58. > :03:02.they would not know they had breast cancer. Those women, around 97%,
:03:02. > :03:09.will be alive after five years. That compares to 84% for other
:03:09. > :03:12.women. After my last chemo, my hair was starting to grow back. Sisters
:03:12. > :03:16.Patricia and Joan, reminiscing about a time when family life was
:03:16. > :03:21.returning to normal. In 2009, Patricia was diagnosed with breast
:03:21. > :03:25.cancer. At 48, she was not entitled to free screening with her health
:03:25. > :03:30.trust. However a chance decision by her sister to make appointments
:03:30. > :03:37.with an action cancer mobile unit made just have saved her life.
:03:37. > :03:43.was picked up with five p in dots, classifications, which were told
:03:43. > :03:46.that in five or ten years, I could have cancer in any part of my body.
:03:46. > :03:53.Which was a shock to my system because I had no lumps. I was very
:03:53. > :03:59.fit. Ready and waiting, it was the turn of these women this morning to
:03:59. > :04:04.step on board. It is a good idea. It is nice to know that everything
:04:05. > :04:12.is OK. Newark in and out in five or ten minutes. It is very easy, very
:04:12. > :04:16.simple. They make you feel at ease. While the latest research suggests
:04:16. > :04:21.that screening may not be the ideal solution for detecting breast
:04:21. > :04:25.cancer, those who work in the airier would argue that the current
:04:25. > :04:28.benefits of breast cancer screening outweigh the risks of not screening
:04:29. > :04:35.and therefore more women should come forward and make their
:04:35. > :04:38.appointment as soon as possible. A man who posted a menacing and
:04:38. > :04:44.offensive message about the MP Gregory Campbell on Facebook has
:04:44. > :04:49.been fined �500 and given them five-month jail sentence suspended
:04:49. > :04:53.for three years. Darren UN -- Daryl O'Donnell said the DUP Maj deserve
:04:53. > :04:57.to be shot over remarks about the bloody Sunday inquiry. The MPs says
:04:57. > :05:01.people must realise they can't say what they like and hope to get away
:05:01. > :05:05.with it. Daryl O'Donnell from Belvedere
:05:05. > :05:09.Parchin voice brings was found guilty of committing the offence on
:05:09. > :05:13.the 20th June last year. The father of two admitted posting a message
:05:13. > :05:17.on Facebook about Gregory Campbell, in which he said he should get a
:05:17. > :05:22.bullet in the head. He was responding to criticism made by the
:05:22. > :05:27.East Londonderry MP about the cost of the Bloody Sunday inquiry. After
:05:27. > :05:30.the publication of the findings last summer. The district judge at
:05:30. > :05:35.today's hearing again repeated his view that Gregory Campbell was
:05:35. > :05:38.entitled to his field, even though people might disagree with him. The
:05:38. > :05:43.district judge described Daryl O'Donnell's comments as disgraceful.
:05:43. > :05:47.He said that violence, or the talk of violence, was ungodly and
:05:47. > :05:52.against all decent human principles. He said that when Daryl O'Donnell
:05:52. > :05:56.takes a drink he opens his mouth and does not engage his brain. He
:05:56. > :06:01.says he should keep his mouth shut and stay away from electronic
:06:02. > :06:06.equipment. Daryl O'Donnell received a jail term for five months
:06:06. > :06:12.suspended for three years and was fined �500. Afterwards he defended
:06:12. > :06:16.his comments. I still stand by what I said. The judge said himself that
:06:16. > :06:20.everybody is entitled to their opinion as on it -- as long as it
:06:20. > :06:25.is not breaking the law. It wasn't breaking the law because I never
:06:25. > :06:31.meant him or his family and the harm. He is a politician, he gets
:06:31. > :06:36.paid to do this stuff and I'm just an average Joe Bloggs, buttering my
:06:36. > :06:40.opinion. The lesson should be that there is always room for free and
:06:40. > :06:44.frank exchange of views. I am very robust in what I say, others should
:06:44. > :06:49.be likewise, but you have to draw the line somewhere. The line is
:06:49. > :06:52.because you disagree with someone, however much profound -- however
:06:52. > :06:57.profoundly you may disagree with them, you do it threatened to kill
:06:57. > :07:02.them as a result of that disagreement. The court was told
:07:02. > :07:08.that Daryl O'Donnell admitted us some trip -- a set -- a separate
:07:08. > :07:12.charge of... Some were shouting abuse at police including Irish
:07:12. > :07:16.students. The court heard on that occasion Daryl O'Donnell swore at
:07:16. > :07:20.police. He told them at least the dissidents are tackling antisocial
:07:20. > :07:25.behaviour. The father of two, who has 11 previous convictions for
:07:25. > :07:29.public order offences, was fined �200 and had another five month
:07:29. > :07:32.jail term suspended for three years. The judge said O'Donnell did not
:07:32. > :07:37.come to court with clean hands and the public should not think this
:07:37. > :07:42.was a case where some ordinary, decent person was outraged by
:07:42. > :07:46.Gregory Campbell's comments. The High Court has heard claims
:07:46. > :07:49.that a man murdered his second cousin by crashing a car into him.
:07:49. > :07:55.The allegation was made during a bail application by Anthony Quinn,
:07:55. > :07:58.who is accused of murdering Declan Quinn in Coalisland two weeks ago.
:07:58. > :08:04.Declan Quinn suffered fatal injuries when he was hit by a
:08:04. > :08:08.Vauxhall Corsa or on the road in Coalisland. He was 37 and lived in
:08:08. > :08:12.the town. His second cousin, 21- year-old Anthony Quinn, is charged
:08:12. > :08:15.with murder and driving while disqualified. At the bail hearing
:08:15. > :08:18.today here at the High Court, the prosecution lawyer said that
:08:18. > :08:23.Anthony Quinn drove the car straight at his relative, knocking
:08:23. > :08:27.him into the air. Declan Quinn died two days later. The prosecuting
:08:27. > :08:31.lawyer said the debt had raised public heckles and the area where
:08:31. > :08:35.it happened -- death. She said bail should be refused because Anthony
:08:35. > :08:39.Quinn might try to leave Northern Ireland. Anthony Quinn, from
:08:39. > :08:43.Coalisland, went to the police voluntarily the day after his
:08:43. > :08:47.cousin died. He denied a try eight -- driving at the victim
:08:47. > :08:49.intentionally. The defence lawyer said that on the night of the death
:08:49. > :08:53.Anthony Quinn's father phoned the accused to say three men were
:08:53. > :08:58.trying to break into his home. The court heard that when Anthony Quinn
:08:58. > :09:03.went to the house he was chased. According to the lawyer Declan
:09:03. > :09:06.Quinn waved a Hamra at the accused and someone else raised a gun. The
:09:06. > :09:10.court heard that Anthony Quinn drove away and it was only later
:09:10. > :09:14.that he discovered that Declan Quinn had been hit. The car was
:09:14. > :09:17.found that this forest. Dealing with concerns of a feud between
:09:17. > :09:21.relatives the defence lawyer said the family had indicated that there
:09:21. > :09:29.would be no more violence. The judge granted a Anthony Quinn bail.
:09:29. > :09:32.He must report to police every day. The man who was critically injured
:09:32. > :09:35.and an industrial accident in Ballymena on Monday morning has
:09:35. > :09:39.died. It is understood a piece of machinery fell on him as it was
:09:39. > :09:41.being serviced. It happened at the JTI plant in the town, which used
:09:41. > :09:45.to be the Gallagher cigarette factory.
:09:45. > :09:49.A report has found that the plane crash which killed a Cont --
:09:49. > :09:53.accounted a woman and more than 200 others was the result of a series
:09:53. > :09:58.of errors by the pirates -- County Down. The Rio de Paris flight
:09:58. > :10:01.plunged into the Atlantic two years ago. Eithne Walls from County Down
:10:01. > :10:05.was a young doctor who had performed with Riverdance. She had
:10:05. > :10:09.been travelling home from holiday with two friends from the Republic.
:10:09. > :10:13.Faulty speed sensors also contributed to the class. Air

:10:35. > :10:39.with the latest from Ballymena. Local crafts are no longer just
:10:39. > :10:43.about Aran sweaters or bog oak carvings. A month of exhibitions
:10:43. > :10:45.and demonstrations is celebrating innovation as well. For example as
:10:45. > :10:51.our arts correspondent Maggie Taggart reports, the opening show
:10:51. > :10:55.features a fabric made with MRSA bacteria!
:10:55. > :10:59.The textiles used in this quilled have been treated with MRSA,
:10:59. > :11:04.counteracted by antibiotics. All it must be said now sterilised in
:11:04. > :11:08.hospital. The messages that bacteria we think of as life-
:11:08. > :11:12.threatening have virtues as well. The dress has areas on it which are
:11:12. > :11:17.stained with natural bacteria, because a lot of bacteria produce
:11:17. > :11:21.different pigments and the embroidery is on there, using
:11:21. > :11:25.natural antibiotics in this case, so the MRSA is using some bit --
:11:25. > :11:29.synthetic antibiotics, the most powerful thing we have in our fight
:11:30. > :11:33.against infection, and these are using natural ones. More embroidery
:11:33. > :11:39.thread is used in the guerrilla tactic of yarn bombing, decorating
:11:39. > :11:43.unsuspected areas -- unsuspecting areas. It is reactions to the
:11:43. > :11:47.spaces we go to. We create these installations that are removable.
:11:47. > :11:52.So in this case you have taken bits of netting sticking out of a wall?
:11:52. > :11:57.Indeed, we have created beautiful geometric lines and reacted to the
:11:58. > :12:02.space and what we have here. looks like a loon. It is, I am a
:12:02. > :12:06.weaver, it is geometric. This is the latest art gallery in Lisburn
:12:06. > :12:11.and it is the third -- the focal point for the opening of August
:12:11. > :12:14.craft month. When, you might ask? Tomorrow afternoon. It looks raw at
:12:14. > :12:17.the moment but they are sure it will be ready on time. The building
:12:17. > :12:23.is the former family home of the gallery owner, who has been
:12:23. > :12:28.planning this for ten years. It was built in 1781, in the centre of
:12:28. > :12:33.Lisburn. By parents bought in 1953. It was our family home. I grew up
:12:33. > :12:38.in it until the 1970s, went to school locally and my parents moved
:12:38. > :12:42.out as the family did. My father kept it on. When the work is done

:13:15. > :13:20.Farmers' Club. It started in the 1930s but folded nine years ago.
:13:20. > :13:27.Now these former members are coming back together to put it back
:13:27. > :13:31.together. There are a lot of young ones
:13:31. > :13:36.around. They are starting to go to other clubs and we would like to
:13:36. > :13:42.see this club up and running again. I would like to think my children
:13:42. > :13:46.could be in the Young Farmers Club. It is being set up to help the
:13:46. > :13:51.young people in this farming community but they do not have to
:13:51. > :13:55.be from a farming background. Many are keen to find out what it is

:15:02. > :15:05.debating and I think it gave me a good grounding for what I did later
:15:05. > :15:10.in life. So they are not just about sitting
:15:10. > :15:16.around talking about your latest tractor purchase, it is also about
:15:16. > :15:21.what talent. I remember singing, in the County

:16:11. > :16:18.eclipsed by Northern Ireland's number one amateur, Portstewart's
:16:18. > :16:25.Paul Cutler. His aim was to make the halfway cut,
:16:25. > :16:30.but he might now be revising that goal. His second round of 67,
:16:30. > :16:37.leaves him three shots from the elite. He could emulate his friend
:16:37. > :16:45.who won the title as an amateur two years ago. Unbelievable, beyond my
:16:45. > :16:50.expectations. I played last year and that helped me this week. I
:16:50. > :17:00.tried to play my own game, and it has worked for me. Several of the

:17:09. > :17:14.Darren Clarke saw this bogey on the 15th. It was his fifth of the round.
:17:14. > :17:22.I had at tough day, and could not get anything going at all. It is
:17:22. > :17:30.not what I wanted. This man will also miss their weekend as will
:17:30. > :17:39.Paul McGinley. McDowall came safely through his rough patch and

:21:07. > :21:14.guards at a similar stage in the championship before. The Donegal
:21:14. > :21:22.game will be tight. I imagine it will not be high-scoring but if we
