Good evening. This is BBC Newsline. The headlines this Wednesday | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
evening. The trauma and it Sidey because by delays and the justice | :00:22. | :00:31. | |
system. We hear the it experience of one family. But best you are | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
ignored, and you're also seen as a nuisance. Anger from Health Service | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
workers are over job cuts and relocation. Downpatrick to | :00:42. | :00:50. | |
Ballymena is a no go. It is 50 miles there and 50 miles back. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
some pharmacies say they are in financial crisis as a result of | :00:53. | :01:00. | |
funding cuts. A you been harassed by unwanted adverts on your mobile | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
phone that? I am live in Belfast finding out why. The Met Office is | :01:05. | :01:12. | |
warning of even more disruptive winds before tomorrow. The daughter | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
of a murdered Newry pensioner has said her family at times felt | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
ignored by the criminal justice system during the trial of the | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
woman convicted of the murder. She has joined others including Victim | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
Support in welcoming a review by the independent watchdog, Criminal | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
Justice Inspection, which says victims and witnesses in court | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
cases should receive better treatment. Our Home Affairs | :01:35. | :01:42. | |
correspondent reports. Mother of eight Maire Rankin seen here | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
playing with her grandson was beaten to death with a crucifix on | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
Christmas morning three years ago. Two months ago her neighbour, Karen | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
Walsh, was found guilty of the murder and has been sentenced to a | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
minimum of 20 years in jail. One of more awry can's daughters met a | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
Victim Support to discuss how the family was treated during what she | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
describes as a long and tortuous legal process. Initially you were | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
made to feel that she did not have a role, that the state prosecutes | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
the criminal and the families and the victims do not have any role. | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
At best you are ignored and at worst, you are seen as a nuisance. | :02:26. | :02:33. | |
You were in limbo all the time. You could not make any plans. You could | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
not get information, there was a lack of communication throughout | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
the whole process. That experience is far from unusual. The report | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
published today says more needs to be done to improve the treatment of | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
victims and witnesses involved in court cases. It criticises the | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
length of time it takes for Craig - - for cases to be completed and the | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
lack of communication which inspectors say increases anxiety | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
and trauma for those involved. The report recommends a single point of | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
contact for victims and witnesses to get the information that they | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
need. A what they lack is that lays some advocate, someone who can link | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
up with the family and answer questions. That is what we found. | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
It took us a long time and a lot of digging before we develop the | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
contacts. Not all crimes are as brittle or a high profile as the | :03:31. | :03:39. | |
murder of Maire Rankin. Victims of other crimes often also feel | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
marginalised by the criminal justice system. The author of the | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
report says that concern is shared by many who go through the court | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
system. The justice organisations need to make an extra effort to | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
recognise the impact that crime has on individuals and to develop what | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
should be a more personalised service. Some of the more emotional | :04:00. | :04:07. | |
impacts of the crime. The reports also recommends improved services | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
for witnesses who at times find themselves sitting beside | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
defendants they are due to give evidence against. Justice Minister | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
David Ford has welcomed the report and accepted his recommendations. | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
He said all parts of the criminal justice system are committed to | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
improving the treatment of victims and witnesses. About 100 people | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
were moved out of their homes last night because of a pipebomb attack | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
in Poleglass in West Belfast. The device was thrown through the | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
window of a house in Woodside Park at about 10pm. There were no | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
reports of injuries. A motive for the attack is unclear. There has | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
been anger and dismay from health administrators whose jobs are being | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
redeployed. Up to 100 jobs are to be lost and another 400 staff are | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
being forced to relocate because services are being reorganised. The | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
Department of Health says the moves will reduce administration and | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
duplicates and -- duplication. There was not a lot of Christmas | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
cheer at this Health Trust Office at the dacha hospital complex today. | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
30 staff are affected here in the payment section and they have been | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
told in future they will be working either in the new Ballymena centre | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
of excellence are will be redeployed. Downpatrick to | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
Ballymena is a no go. It is 50 miles there and 50 miles back. A | :05:32. | :05:40. | |
100 miles round trip. I cannot travel there, I have two young | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
children. We have not been given any assurances that we will be | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
redeployed or whether there will be redundancies. The Department of | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
Health centralise a sound plan means for art macro new | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
administration centres. At Belfast of us will do with pay roll, Armagh | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
will handle human resources and finance income will go to Omagh | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
with place... 43 a human resources staff in Derry will be dispersed | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
and that means facing the day the prospect of travelling to Armagh | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
and back for some of them. We can get a bus that leaves from Derry at | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
4:30am that will get us there at 8:30am, so we may be able to get to | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
work in time. It was total and utter shock. We have a consultation | :06:32. | :06:40. | |
period. To be hit with this with just a few weeks before Christmas... | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
There are concerns over redundancies. They're quite a few | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
young members of staff who will not be offered the chance of voluntary | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
early retirement. I also have a fear that this will not work and | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
that staff will be put through quite a lot of distress and in a | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
number of years that decision will have to be reversed. | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
Department's plan includes an 18 month long process of relocation | :07:03. | :07:12. | |
and retraining with 100 job losses taking place by the middle of 2013. | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
The people who run our chemist shops have told BBC Newsline they | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
are having to take out bank loans are cash in pensions to keep their | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
businesses open. Pharmacists do much more than hand out | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
prescriptions. They run smoking clinics, help vulnerable people to | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
the right drugs at the right time and supply a range of community | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
services. According to the body that represents pharmacists, the | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
budget to fund all that was cut this year by �38 million. This | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
man's weekly trip to his local pharmacy is helping to prevent | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
diseases such as heart attack and stroke. A diabetic for 12 years, it | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
was this Pharmacy, not his health centre, which got him back to be | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
dealt. I came here and, blood sugars monitored, blood pressure | :08:00. | :08:08. | |
monitored. In four to five weeks I was down Matt, I was no longer a | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
diabetic in real terms and I have lost two stone in weight and I had | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
a completely new quality of life. There are over 500 community | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
pharmacies in Northern Ireland, while the Department of Health | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
wants to enhance the role they play in delivering health care, | :08:25. | :08:33. | |
according to this but the budget was cut by 30%. We have had to seek | :08:33. | :08:42. | |
emergency funding to continue been able to operate. That is all over | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
six or seven months to continue to employ two pharmacists. The | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
potential cuts, shortening our powers, a general loss of services | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
to the patient. According to community pharmacists they play a | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
vital role in dispensing prescriptions. They offer advice on | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
quitting smoking and weight management. They operate the minor | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
ailments scheme for Coles, immunised patients and offer advice | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
on sexual health. They acknowledge that times are difficult, community | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
pharmacy end I'd say the cuts are too much too soon. We're finding | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
that pharmacists and having to revert to banks for emergency | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
funding, they are having to revert to family members for funding and | :09:27. | :09:37. | |
:09:37. | :09:37. | ||
we have heard that some are cashing in at their own pensions. | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
Pharmacies are facing a 30% reduction and this is unworkable. | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
The Department of Health considers that there has been no change in | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
the mind of recurrent funding or in the fees pharmacists are paid for | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
dispensing prescriptions. Part of the problem could be increased | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
competition from the High Street and that lesser medicine is being | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
prescribed. When they talk about the work that they're doing been | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
down, but the formula for giving them funding been the same, that is | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
a pretty fair treatment. It'll be interesting to see what happens | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
when there is a review of the formula. With the ongoing changes | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
to how local health care is being delivered as in parts of England, | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
the idea might be that some health centres could dispense medication. | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
All could be revealed next week when the review into health care is | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
due to be published. During a recent Assembly debate, a number of | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
MLAs questioned if this was the wrong time. For so many communities | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
and local businesses for taking a massive head. With little light on | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
the economic horizon, the question is if there is ever a good time for | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
such a move. Clearly a lot depends on the outcome of the review. Still | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
to come on the programme. A law that allows some to children to be | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
absent from school for nearly half the year, but that could change. | :11:03. | :11:12. | |
Team work makes life a lot easier for fans at the soccer club. People | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
in Glengormley say they are fed up with large gangs of youths | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
gathering in the area and causing trouble. Police have charged 29 | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
young people in relation to anti- social behaviour and the fighting | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
which takes place most weekends between rival sectarian gangs. I | :11:28. | :11:38. | |
new community group has been formed in a bid to claim back the streets. | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
We do not seem to have that report, we will try to get back to it. It | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
may surprise you to know that there are some children who can miss have | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
at the school year and their parents are not penalised for it. A | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
legal loophole permits widespread absenteeism in a particular group | :11:55. | :12:02. | |
of pupils, children from traveller families. That could change to help | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
the children's learning. Travel a pupil's progress is hampered by a | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
high level of absenteeism. It is much higher than average at primary | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
school but by secondary school, traveller children are staying away | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
for almost half the term and some are not even register that the | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
school. It is important to improve travel or attendance. If attendance | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
reaches a certain level, we involve the education and welfare officer | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
and in recent years we have been doing that even more. Travel | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
attendance has improved. Because of the way they move around, traveller | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
children allow it to be absent for have this the year without their | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
parents facing prosecution. That law could be repealed. There is | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
also a recommendation not to restrict travellers to special | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
schools, but some children disagree. She says she likes guilt and has | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
many friends but does not like it when she gets called names. She | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
would like to be in a school just for travellers and would like | :13:04. | :13:14. | |
:13:14. | :13:16. | ||
teachers to stop people when they call travellers' names. We have to | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
encourage the traveller community based on the best information to | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
ensure that young traveller children are given the opportunity | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
to attend school. The Minister for education is to order an action | :13:27. | :13:37. | |
:13:37. | :13:40. | ||
If we will go back to Glengormley now. They are claiming that the | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
area from dudes. Atypical weekend night in | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
Glengormley. The police have observed gangs of young people. The | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
majority of these teenagers are socialising but there is a sinister | :13:54. | :14:04. | |
:14:04. | :14:04. | ||
element. Intent in causing trouble. It can be as many as 40. They are | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
arranged around 14. They are from different religions and they will | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
taunt each other. -- may our age. They exchanged verbal abuse and | :14:14. | :14:22. | |
this can escalate. This policeman and his team's aim is to keep them | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
apart but local residents are sick of the trouble and have come out to | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
help. Glengormley community group was only formed one year ago. This | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
other group were chipping away, trying to do stuff. The more people | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
come out and do things, the more effect we are going to have. It was | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
on our doorstep. It was happening outside my Matt Holmes, night in, | :14:47. | :14:55. | |
night out. It got worse at the weekends. Outside our homes. That | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
with the police team, the policeman is called to the outer road where | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
rival gangs are goading each other. The rest of the night will be a | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
game of cat and mouse as police keep them apart. We stop them | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
clashing and fighting with each other. There is usually a preamble | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
to the fighting. That is young crowds gathering in numbers. They | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
are shouting and taunting. One young man were shouting abuse | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
across. The police have charged for 29 young people in Glengormley this | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
year. There are no arrests this time but after our cameras leave, | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
the TA to clash again. -- the teenagers. Hugo Swire has | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
warned about the possibility of dissident groups using forthcoming | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
centenary anniversaries such as the Battle of the Somme and the Easter | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
Rising for their own purposes. Speaking in Westminster, he said | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
Stormont have a role to play. there that the Executive and the | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
mainstream political parties must take the lead in ensuring those who | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
would seek to undermine the political process do not have the | :16:06. | :16:16. | |
:16:16. | :16:17. | ||
opportunity to do so. These other people who oppose forbearance and | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
oppose dissidents. They will try and use anniversaries to further | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
their agenda. An extra 700 undergraduate places are to be made | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
available for students who want to study in Northern Ireland over the | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
next three years. Most of the places will be split between | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
Queen's University and the University of Ulster. All of the | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
places will be in science, technology, engineering and | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
mathematics subjects. It is expected more local students will | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
want to stay at home to study to take advantage of cheaper tuition | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
fees. Just how smart is a smartphone? | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
Does yours ever send you adverts when you are in a shopping centre, | :16:55. | :17:03. | |
leaving you wonder -- wondering how you could know where it is? It is a | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
central feature of the digital age but is it becoming an unacceptable | :17:07. | :17:17. | |
:17:17. | :17:24. | ||
and -- a intrusion into privacy? We have been looking at mobile | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
phones and how the message is get to you and how they work. I have | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
been going out into the streets of Belfast and finding out more about | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
what goes on out there. It is another day in the busy city street. | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
Your smartphone goes off and it is a message imploring you to buy | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
something. Perhaps from a shop you have just passed. This man is one | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
of these -- those people who regularly receives adverts. | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
seems like an invasion of preserve these -- are busy. I do not like it | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
that they know where I am. A partly targeted? Yes. Perhaps in things I | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
have shopped in previously. Where do you think the information is | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
coming from? It must be my online shopping habits. Information the | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
online companies have had access to. He is claimed that people who are | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
sending the message do not know of the you are. The use a complex | :18:20. | :18:27. | |
system for using your smartphone's facility. That is how they know you | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
are near by and they get your message. A recent survey revealed | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
89% of users found that the adverts annoying. No one is breaking the | :18:38. | :18:46. | |
law. It depends on the technology that is used for the adverts. It is | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
coming through a spandex message, there is an issue there we would be | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
issued -- interested in hearing about. -- Spam a text message. It | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
is sent the a Bluetooth, the legislation is less clear. For the | :19:01. | :19:07. | |
Protection of people's privacy, it should not be happening. Is there | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
any way we can reduce those ads we receive? | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
That is very hard. I am in a busy mobile phone shop. Lots of | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
different phones. That is the point. It depends on your phone. Some | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
phones do not take the messages. Others you have to as the provider | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
to switch them off. If the phone it uses Bluetooth, you have to switch | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
that off if you are in a city. That should reduce the adverts. Social | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
media groups are committed to gathering more information and | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
Cohesion, Sharing and Integration Strategy information with other | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
people. This is just going to get worse, is it not? | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
Yes. If you look at what is happening in the United States, it | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
is dreadful. We are only seeing the very edge of a very big phone | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
Messaging iceberg. It is already starting to annoy people. | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
Yesterday you that their privacy on our computers. Today it is about | :20:08. | :20:15. | |
smart phones. What is next? Tomorrow I will look at satellite | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
navigation systems in your car. But something goes back to the | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
manufacturers' you may not be aware Glentoran had a new facility at the | :20:28. | :20:35. | |
Oval for fans with disabilities. The project was entirely funded by | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
supporters. This is the new purpose-built | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
facility at the Oval. The previous enclosure could only cater for | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
three wheelchairs but his area now allows access for up to a dozen | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
shares and also has room for carers. Everybody banded together and | :20:53. | :21:00. | |
wanted the same thing. We had this Dem -- determination. We are all | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
happy we have achieved it. supporters' group was set up | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
earlier this year and is the only one of its kind in local football. | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
It is a big area for him and it is more comfortable. They have a | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
better view. A is safer for them. They are not on the pitch side. | :21:19. | :21:28. | |
This section is into rented -- integrated. It is a hell of a | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
difference. We didn't have anything, more or less, the 4th. Anything | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
else is an improvement. The home side might only have managed to | :21:39. | :21:46. | |
draw but these fans are celebrating success of the pitch. | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
We have a new world champion. He is a school boy from the north coast. | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
He has taken North Carolina by storm. And the McLellan's next | :21:55. | :22:04. | |
target is to conquer a stretcher. - - Andy McClelland. | :22:04. | :22:11. | |
One resident has been making waves in a different sport. It is very | :22:11. | :22:18. | |

aggressive York choices are. He claimed first place in the USA. | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
the north coast to say we have a world champion is fantastic. We | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
have various people doing very well on surfboards. To add a different | :22:41. | :22:48. | |
type of serve craft to that is amazing. People will be looking at | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
Andy and saying, where is he from? With everything going online, it | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
will be instant. People will see where he is from an recognise that. | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
With competitors from over 20 countries taking part, it makes and | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
the's win even more significant. You train very hard for these | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
competitions. There is a four year build up. He is a goal I always had. | :23:12. | :23:21. | |
It means all the training starts to pay off. Next up is Australia in | :23:21. | :23:31. | |

particularly through the the Mans of Scotland. The Met Office has | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
