Good evening. The headlines this Friday evening: a high-profile | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
loyalist is ordered back to Northern Ireland for a trial. A | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
fresh attempt to tackle the peace lines. A popular Hollywood | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
restaurant faces big fines for employing illegal workers. The Red | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
Arrows are not coming here, but the tragic death of one of their pilots | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
will not be forgotten. Join me life. Two Irish football managers with | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
one goal tonight, to take a big step towards Euro 2012. There is | :00:55. | :01:04. | |
heavy rain on the way. A well-known loyalist has been ordered back into | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
custody ahead of one of the biggest criminal trials for decades. Mark | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
Haddock and 13 other alleged UVF men will stand accused of murder | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
and other terrorist offences. Mark Haddock had been out on bail. The | :01:16. | :01:26. | |
| :01:26. | :01:26. | ||
announcement of his return to prison was made only an hour record. | :01:26. | :01:36. | |
| :01:36. | :01:37. | ||
He was Alexei Northern Ireland. Why his return? He had been leaving -- | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
living at a secret location in England because of fears for his | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
safety. That is following allegations he was working as a | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
Special Branch informant -- Special Branch informant. He and 13 others | :01:52. | :02:00. | |
are due to stand trial in Belfast. In advance of that trial, a court | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
order was issued yesterday that he had to hand himself over to the | :02:04. | :02:12. | |
police no later than 5:00pm today. The order was made yesterday, but | :02:12. | :02:19. | |
the judge accepted that the details should not be made apparent until | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
today. There was concern that if this was publicised in advance, it | :02:24. | :02:32. | |
would give advance notice to anyone who wanted to attack Mark Haddock. | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
Looking ahead to the trial, what are the charges? Some serious | :02:38. | :02:46. | |
charges connected to a merger in 2000. Mark Haddock and eight others | :02:46. | :02:54. | |
are charged with that. -- a murder in 2000. There are other charges of | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
possession of firearms and assault. Much of the evidence comes from two | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
brothers, former members of the UVF. They admitted their role in the | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
murder. They are serving sentences for aiding and abetting that murder. | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
They were jailed for only three years. That was because they agreed | :03:16. | :03:26. | |
| :03:26. | :03:26. | ||
to give evidence against the 14 men who will appear in court. There is | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
to be a fresh attempt to bring down Belfast's peace walls. The move has | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
been put forward by Alliance councillor Tom Eakin, who admitted | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
it could only happen with the agreement of local communities. The | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
peace lines first went up at the start of the Troubles, and | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
sectarian clashes have insured they are still there. There is more than | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
40 now across the city. We sought the views of people living in the | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
shadow of these barriers. Many people were reluctant to speak, and | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
for some they are still wanted. I do not think they should be taken | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
down. They separate the community. We do not know what is on the other | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
side, I think it is better keeping it that way. We should make an | :04:04. | :04:12. | |
effort to live together. This summer saw serious sectarian | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
clashes in east Belfast. An indication that it will take longer | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
in some areas than others to bring the barriers down. Work goes on all | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
the time behind the scenes. This afternoon, I met two young people | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
from a cross-community group, Ambassadors For Peace, who have set | :04:24. | :04:34. | |
| :04:34. | :04:36. | ||
a target date of 2019 for the walls to come down. | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
There is trust in the cross- community projects that, and I | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
think people used the excuse that used to waltz as an excuse for | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
protection, but if the walls were not there, people would many get a | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
long because there is no wall protecting them. What kind of | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
project would encourage people to feel relaxed about the walls coming | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
down? Getting people to meet each other. You will see people on each | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
side of the wall who have never met. I was like that beforehand. I had | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
never met a Catholic. I was a bit worried at first and then I got | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
used to the idea and made a lot of friends. That way, at you could get | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
used to the idea. How do you bring them together? Community projects | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
and staff. Get together in youth centres and go on trips. Get to | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
know each other. It will change minds. How important is political | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
leadership in all of this? political leaders are the ones who | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
make the decisions. If there is going to be a change, they allow it | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
to happen. It is up young people. They must for set upon political | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
leaders that we what changed. From then on, the political leaders can | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
take action. Do you think there is a generation thing here, older | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
people are reluctant to see the walls come down? For I would say so. | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
The older generation has been through the Troubles, they have | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
seen it, they have had things like that, experience things that make | :06:25. | :06:35. | |
them that way. They grew up with prejudice. They would not agree | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
with it. The UN people I have asked have agreed with it and would not | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
minded because they do not hold anything against the people of the | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
other religion. -- the young people. It is an amazing thing, some of | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
those walls will have been up for half a century. It is the longest | :06:56. | :07:06. | |
| :07:06. | :07:06. | ||
in Europe. We plan to have been down by 2019. Opinions on the peace | :07:06. | :07:14. | |
lines in Belfast. A restaurant in North Down has been raided by | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
immigration officials who arrested two members of staff for allegedly | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
being in the UK illegally. The order of the premises says what | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
happened could threaten the businesses. The future is now in | :07:26. | :07:34. | |
the hand of the UK Border Agency. So officers arrived at the | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
restaurant as it opened for business last night. They question | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
three staff there about their eligibility to work in the UK. Two | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
men, an Argentinian and the New Zealand person, were arrested. They | :07:48. | :07:57. | |
are being detained. Last night was part of a national campaign by the | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
UK Border Agency to tackle immigration offenders working | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
illegally in Northern Ireland. Last night was a routine operation | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
whereby we detected two illegal workers working in a high-profile | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
restaurant. If the owners of the restaurant cannot prove they | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
carried out the proper checks, they could be liability -- they could be | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
liable for a fine of �10,000 for each worker. The restaurant is run | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
by a local restaurant Show, who has appeared on television to talk | :08:26. | :08:36. | |
| :08:36. | :08:38. | ||
about her business. She says the staff are dedicated -- devastated | :08:38. | :08:45. | |
by the raid and it could threaten her business. We are working | :08:45. | :08:55. | |
towards the legal route are becoming a sponsor, unfortunately, | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
time moved on and they did not happen. The border agency says it | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
is for employers to comply with these are regulations, and there is | :09:04. | :09:14. | |
plenty of advice on its website. Still to come: the pet friendly | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
cafe put in a the welcome mat for four-legged friends. Northern | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
Ireland are a depleted but not defeated. We will have the team | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
used just a little later. -- the team news. The libraries and | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
authority has expressed disappointment that a major | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
refurbishment of the inside of Belfast Central Library has been | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
cancelled because of governmental cuts. It means bad news for rural | :09:44. | :09:54. | |
libraries. Belfast Central Library was built 1888, and it had been | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
expecting another �20 million to restructure and renovate the | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
interior. That has been shelved because of budget cuts. A big | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
problem is getting hold of the books stored on seven floors behind | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
the scenes. If I wanted, I need to give and noted that this man, who | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
passed a search warrant. The idea is to preserve the old park but | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
embellish -- demolished the extensions. We are disappointed, | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
but we believe the tremendous resources in this building are very | :10:29. | :10:38. | |
important, not just to Belfast but Northern Ireland as a whole. | :10:38. | :10:46. | |
funding shortfall stretches to rural libraries. Because of raising | :10:46. | :10:54. | |
awareness of the library, Our profile has increased. There are a | :10:54. | :11:03. | |
lot more people coming in. You it is not all doom and gloom. He it is | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
disappointing that libraries are affected by this, but given the | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
fact we are in the position we are in, it is inevitable. There are | :11:11. | :11:18. | |
positive. Nearly 17 million has been spent on libraries. They will | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
decide which of the rural branches will close and which will be | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
reprieved. Portrush will play host to the biggest airshow in Northern | :11:27. | :11:37. | |
| :11:37. | :11:40. | ||
Ireland this weekend, with many demonstrations. This evening the | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
skies in Portrush are full of rain. Tomorrow they will be full of | :11:44. | :11:53. | |
different types of aircraft. Look the plan had been for a peak Red | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
Arrows to take part, but following the death of one of their pilots | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
that will not happen. The funeral will take place tomorrow will stop | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
the will be going to that. He will not be forgotten in Portrush. One | :12:06. | :12:13. | |
of the organisers is here. How will you pay tribute to him? We have it | :12:13. | :12:21. | |
organised. We have a parade across the front. The mayor will be there. | :12:21. | :12:30. | |
After that, we will have a silence, and then a plane, similar to the | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
Red Arrows, will fly in with a lady pilot. She has been flying planes | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
in Libya. That will come in very slowly, around the bay, and then | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
we'll come really fast back again, into infinity. That is a typical | :12:48. | :12:56. | |
tribute that they do in the forces. The Red Arrows was only one small | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
part of this year show, and one of those who will be in this guy is | :13:01. | :13:11. | |
this man, what is it you will be doing? I will be flying one of the | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
planes, and with a win walking demonstration. That is pretty | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
dangerous. It is not dangerous at all, we do about 100 a year shows a | :13:23. | :13:31. | |
year. It will be exciting. Plenty to see in this guide tomorrow, and | :13:31. | :13:41. | |
I can reveal exclusively that there Down the coast near Whitehead in | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
County Antrim, walkers have been told they are taking too big a risk | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
by ignoring warning signs about falling rocks. | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
Unstable cliffs have led to the closure of one end of Blackhead | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
Path which climbs around the Lighthouse at the mouth of Belfast | :13:54. | :14:03. | |
Lough. Kevin Sharkey reports. That chance of a closer view it | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
makes this 2.5 mile walk worthwhile. Locals and visitors come here daily | :14:09. | :14:19. | |
| :14:19. | :14:21. | ||
in their hundreds. It winds along the coast, along Belfast Lough, | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
towards the Atlantic. But now the council has closed the final leg of | :14:25. | :14:35. | |
the walk, due to unstable cliff conditions. It is the best part of | :14:35. | :14:44. | |
the path. It visitors will stop there, they will not go on. But the | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
locals ignored the gate and take their chances, going around the pav. | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
You have the caves and the deeper water and then you can see the rest | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
of the cliffs. You walk along a tunnel and in the distance you can | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
see the class. The unstable cliff face has caused problems in the | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
past and special meant -- measures have been taken to protect passers- | :15:11. | :15:21. | |
| :15:21. | :15:22. | ||
by. The see the signs and they might think there is not a | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
particular problem and they take a chance. People have to think | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
seriously about what they are doing when the path that point. The | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
surveys are very Clear and the indication is potential subsidence. | :15:36. | :15:45. | |
In all likelihood, more or wire mesh inmate be the answer. A -- | :15:45. | :15:53. | |
more wire-mesh might be the answer. It will be some time before or this | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
is open to the public again. Coleraine's rowers are in top form | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
at the world championships. And with big games in soccer | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
tonight, here's hoping that success is catching. With more, Austin | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
O'Callaghan. A potentially decisive night for | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
both Irish international teams as far as qualification for next | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
summer's European Championship finals goes. First, to Northern | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
Ireland's home game in Group C. Opponents Serbia have no Nemanja | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
Vidic and no fans at the game. UEFA have banned their supporters from | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
travelling to the remaining matches following crowd trouble earlier on | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
in the qualifying campaign. Mind you, we did spot one or two Serbian | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
shirts around Belfast today. Live now to Windsor Park and Mark | :16:31. | :16:40. | |
Sidebottom. The wars continue for Northern | :16:40. | :16:50. | |
| :16:50. | :16:50. | ||
Ireland. -- woes. Northern Ireland, in a pivotal game are sure and of | :16:50. | :17:00. | |
| :17:00. | :17:00. | ||
that capital players. -- are short of key players. If we're going to | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
qualify, we are going to do it the hard way. We can look at the build | :17:06. | :17:16. | |
up to this. It will be Healey and don't dropping off up top -- up | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
front of this weekend. It will be a big ask. The only saving grace is | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
that they have not won there since they beat us in a march. I do not | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
think they are the same side, but it will still be a big ask for us. | :17:34. | :17:44. | |
| :17:44. | :17:44. | ||
To get the second spot, we definitely need to win. I do not | :17:44. | :17:54. | |
| :17:54. | :17:56. | ||
think one. Will be enough to help us win. -- one point. When you | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
compare the standards, it is still a big gap. We have upset a few | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
people here before and perhaps against the odds people do it again. | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
The Mac is a life on that the radio. He will get highlights on Match of | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
the day this evening. We're hoping that the injury count does not | :18:18. | :18:25. | |
continue. The stakes are just as high for the | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
Republic of Ireland. They host Slovakia in Dublin but will be | :18:29. | :18:37. | |
missing Shane Long for the game. The West Brom striker got injured | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
in training, so Kevin Doyle, who was initially dropped for this game, | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
now starts alongside Robbie Keane up front. | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
There is no American twang to his action yet, but most Republic | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
supporters have wanted them -- their photos taken with the | :18:52. | :19:00. | |
Hollywood a resident. -- the Hollywood resident. Tonight's Mac | :19:00. | :19:10. | |
| :19:10. | :19:20. | ||
is a must win for the home team. will be tremendous for Ireland. He | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
does not get the credit that he deserves. He has been a great | :19:25. | :19:35. | |
| :19:35. | :19:39. | ||
player for this country. It is a great achievement what he have done. | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
-- what he has done. To qualify for this group, the Republic will need | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
something from their trip to Russia next Tuesday, but first and | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
foremost, three points tonight seems essential. | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
Our local rowers are still on top form at the World Championships in | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
Slovenia. Richard Chambers has won a bronze medal with the British | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
lightweight men's four crew, a day after his brother Peter won gold. | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
And another Coleraine man, Alan Campbell, has made it to the final | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
of the Single Sculls. Nial Foster reports. | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
There were beautiful conditions are once more on this late in the slow | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
been here as Alan Campbell looked to to make the final and book his | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
place in the 2012 Olympics in the process. He led from the start, | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
setting a punishing pace for the rest of the field, including the | :20:28. | :20:35. | |
reigning world champion. His tactics work as he pulled clear to | :20:35. | :20:45. | |
| :20:45. | :20:57. | ||
finish in the first place. -- his tactics work. Younger brother Peter, | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
after his gold medal yesterday has the bragging rights in that the | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
chambers's household for now. Rugby's PRO-12 League kicks off | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
this evening. This is the new name for the Celtic League. Ulster's | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
opening match is at home to Glasgow. Gavin Andrews is suited and booted | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
at Ravenhill. Ulster's fans arriving here at a | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
Ravenhill with high expectations. It did win against Harlequins last | :21:25. | :21:34. | |
week. David, a good buzz about the police? For it is hard to believe | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
the new season has already started. You get to a certain point when you | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
are ready to get back into competitive rugby. Last weekend was | :21:42. | :21:49. | |
a huge performance. This is where it really starts. Glasgow have made | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
it tough over the last couple of years. I do not think it has been | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
the last couple of years, I think we have always struggled with | :21:59. | :22:06. | |
Glasgow. Tonight is a big challenge, to continue this their lovably we | :22:06. | :22:14. | |
played last week. Hopefully the rain will stay away. How important | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
is it for the young people to make a good start this season? If you | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
had said to me two years ago that we would be going in with a living | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
are 12 of her starting team are missing, we would always have | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
struggled to see how competitive we could be. A lot of the young | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
players who have games plea from last year have performed very well. | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
A new face on show tonight and another next week. We have the new | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
players coming in over the next few weeks, the turning -- depending on | :22:50. | :23:00. | |

how it teams to at the World Cup. Hopefully, it will bear fruit at | :23:03. | :23:13. | |
| :23:13. | :23:15. | ||
tonight. Kick-off is at 7:05pm. A big Ulster fan, Rory McIlroy will | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
no doubt be keeping track of their progress. | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
The US Open champion is the joint leader at the halfway point of the | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
European Masters, but he may well be rueing a host of missed birdie | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
opportunities this evening. In the beautiful setting of Cran, | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
Switzerland, McIlroy started the day two shots off the lead but | :23:29. | :23:39. | |
improved his standing to eight under with a round of 69. However, | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
he missed good birdie chances that would have made him the outright | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
leader. Ireland's Peter Lawrie was a big mover. He shot a five under | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
par 66 to move up to joint ninth place And the Open champion Darren | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
Clarke had a steady level par round of 71 which keeps him at four under, | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
and so still in contention going into the weekend. | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
Finally, congratulations to the Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
Service Gaelic Football Team, who have won the gold medal at the | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
World Police and Fire Games, currently taking place in the Bronx | :24:06. | :24:16. | |
| :24:16. | :24:21. | ||
in New York. A sign outside a cafe saying "No dogs except guide dogs" | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
doesn't mean that by law you can't take your four legged pet inside. | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
And for a couple in County Down it's the perfect idea for a new | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
business as our district journalist Francis Gorman found out. | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
Relaxing indoors, not tied up outside. The owner say it is the | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
first dog friendly cafe here. People told them it would be | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
illegal, but it seems they were wrong. There is no law in the | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
country that says you cannot bring it all into the premises. It is up | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
to the proprietor of the Establishment as to whether dogs | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
are allowed in or not. He what was your reaction when you heard that? | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
I was relieved, it meant that we could go ahead and look for | :25:02. | :25:11. | |
premises. So far, so good. Docks and owners happy, they can stay | :25:11. | :25:21. | |
| :25:21. | :25:23. | ||
together over lunch. He did you feel about this? It was refreshing. | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
What do you do after a walk, before this cafe opened? Just basically go | :25:29. | :25:39. | |
| :25:39. | :25:42. | ||
home. We had to bring water for the dog and bags. Here, there are | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
toilets for the dog. You can also get a picture of your pet for the | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
wall of fame. There are plans to start a dog sitting service next | :25:52. | :26:02. | |
| :26:02. | :26:07. | ||
year. Freddie got off to a decent start, | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
but things quickly changed. It will be quite persistent rain in at some | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
places this evening and overnight. Enough to cause some localised | :26:17. | :26:27. | |
| :26:27. | :26:31. | ||
flooding. Temperatures are staying above average. It will rain | :26:31. | :26:38. | |
tomorrow at the Northern Ireland game. Perhaps a dry start for at | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
the Dublin game, but it me rain later. A damp start to the weekend, | :26:45. | :26:52. | |
but a decent day on Saturday. Drier conditions, and over the day on | :26:52. | :27:02. | |
| :27:02. | :27:06. | ||
Saturday. Showers lingering, but it will be foremost a dry day. It | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
should be a dry day four of the Year Show at Portrush. A pretty | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
decent end to the day and those dry conditions will last overnight into | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
Sunday. A decent start to Sunday, but things will change. It will | :27:22. | :27:28. | |
gradually become wetter and some of that rain will be heavy. The Met | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
Office says he can expect thunderstorms on Sunday. Monday is | :27:32. | :27:41. | |
unsettled, turning cooler. The once well pack up. If things change, | :27:41. | :27:45. |
