Good evening. This is BBC Newsline. Our main news: A former President | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
of the Ulster Farmers' Union - my union is fined for illegal dunking | :00:26. | :00:34. | |
-- dumping. The boy racer causing havoc in a | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
small County Antrim village. We are live in Ballycastle for a | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
special Christmas broadcaster with music from two local schools. | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
Who will be BBC Sports Personality of the Year? We hear from Northern | :00:48. | :00:54. | |

tomorrow but it is unlikely to be a A former President of the Ulster | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
Farmers' Union could face a bill of almost �200,000 to clear-up waste | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
he allowed to be illegally dumped on his land. Details of the | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
potential cost emerged in court as 54 year old Graham fury was fined | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
in relation to debris at a former hospital. | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
Below ground is a huge amount of illegally dumped waste, tons of it, | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
buried by a contractor involved in the demolition of a hospital. The | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
land is owned by a Graham fury who was President of the Ulster | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
Farmers' Union for two years. Having admitted four charges | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
admitting to waste disposal, a judge at Downpatrick Crown Court | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
today imposed his sentence of �20,000. The court was told there | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
were 1900 tonnes of waste buried illegally. The prosecution told the | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
court that the cost of clearing it up could be as much as �180,000. | :02:13. | :02:21. | |
The Contractor was also fined. Some of the waste was hazardous, | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
including oil and car. Graham If you read claimed the worst had been | :02:26. | :02:36. | |
left as a result of fight -- fly- tipping and not by the contractor. | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
Graham Fury. A no comment. There will now be talks with the local | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
council as to whether the waste will have to be excavated at huge | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
cost. It is a clear message from the court that people cannot treat | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
environmental crime with a cavalier attitude. Other courts around the | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
country should enclose -- impose similar finds. Summing up, the | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
judge said he should have known better given his position as a | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
former President of the Ulster Farmers' Union. He said the find | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
and the potential clean-up costs would send out a message to | :03:16. | :03:25. | |
landowners in respect of their The former billionaire businessman | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
Sean Quinn has failed to have new bankruptcy proceedings against him | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
put on hold. A High Court judge refused to restrain the former | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
Anglo Irish Bank from serving him with a summons. Papers can now be | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
served at his home. The bank said it would not try to bankrupt him | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
until the conclusion of a related court case in Belfast, where the | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
bank is trying to have his bankruptcy on this side of the | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
border, annulled. A bar has been badly damaged in an | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
arson attack in County Down just before it was due to reopen. New | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
management had recently taken over the castle arms. | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
People here say they are disappointed and disgusted at this | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
attack on a popular pub. It is thought the arsonist broke in | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
through this downstairs window. Police and firefighters were called | :04:21. | :04:29. | |
just before 3 o'clock this morning. Two fire fighters entered into the | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
property and dealt with the fire. They had to do a search because it | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
was an clear whether anyone was in the pub. Very quickly we found | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
there was no one in the pub, thankfully, and they quickly | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
extinguished the fire. But there was severe damage. New management | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
has recently taken over. It has been closed for two weeks. It was | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
due to reopen tomorrow but that will not now happen. A councillor | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
says it is dreadful news for the new manager. I know him well and he | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
is a gentleman, a very popular fellow. My heart goes out to the | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
family. They have put a lot of effort into getting the place ready | :05:15. | :05:23. | |
and with this happening, it has stalled. This is usually a quiet | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
village known for its use than for trouble. Residents say they hope | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
the police will catch whoever set fire to the bar. | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
26 people have been found guilty of staging an illegal protest during | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
an Orange Order protest in north Belfast last year. It was on 12th | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
July in Ardoyne. They were fined and nine he resisted arrest had to | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
pay an additional penalty of �200. A son of the self-confessed INLA | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
killer Dominic McGlinchey says he will make a formal complaint to the | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
Director of Public Prosecutions and the Police Ombudsman about | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
allegations made at a murder trial this week. During the trial of | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
Colin Duffy and Brian Shivers who are accused of killing two soldiers | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
outside Massereene barracks, a barrister said the police had | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
reliable information to indicate that one of the McGlinchey sons | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
drove the car used in the attack. In a statement issued through his | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
solicitor, Dominic McGlinchey Junior denied the allegations which | :06:22. | :06:32. | |

We are in Ballycastle for a special Christmas broadcast. A few miles | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
down the road that way, boy the races are causing havoc. Residents | :06:42. | :06:51. | |
fear someone will be killed. I District journalist t reports. | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
This footage captured from the bedroom of a resident and one | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
resident says he has had enough worrying about his children's | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
safety. They spin the car around and around in the junction four or | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
five times creating huge screeching noises, burning rubber. I don't | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
know how they can afford to keep replacing the tyres. I am positive | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
somebody at some point will get killed. They have no regard for | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
safety, oncoming drivers or pedestrians. This is a popular area | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
for those racing their cars. They speed along here, cross over the | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
junction and jump a bridge at the other side. A lot of this is | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
happening in broad daylight and yards from a local primary schools. | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
Doing handbrake turns is a regular occurrence along the length of the | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
busy road. It is a hot topic of conversation at the local district | :07:50. | :07:55. | |

They go away in a cloud of dust and you can't see the registration | :08:08. | :08:17. | |
number. When we arrive, we have the problem with mobile phones and the | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
message gets about that the police are operating in the area. We would | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
ask the community to phone us and give us registration numbers to | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
identify drivers doing this and to give us statements. Drivers doing | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
is have been caught and prosecuted already and residents are | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
determined to put the brakes on it in the future. | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
Worrying times. We have been here in the town all day as it gears up | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
to Christmas. It looks beautiful and there is a great buzz as people | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
get their last bits and bobs. Joining me is someone very glad to | :08:57. | :09:02. | |

A summer boot camp for second year computer science students could | :10:16. | :10:23. | |
produce the net -- next Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. One of the six | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
undergraduates has been voted a winner. Our Education correspondent | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
has met up again with some of the young men we met back in July. | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
Remember these computer science students keen to develop their own | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
applications? After months of development, they have launched | :10:41. | :10:48. | |
their products. The overall winner is one application which tracks | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
spending so users don't have to go into the red. He has a commission | :10:53. | :11:00. | |
from his local council man. I can then go on to other projects. It | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
will allow tourists to you everything they can do through | :11:05. | :11:11. | |

things he could make money to cover and expand to cover the North of | :11:22. | :11:29. | |
Ireland. From a normal It student to someone | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
who is trying to improve their CV at all times. The company has | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
offered all six work placements and hopes to create a pool of future | :11:40. | :11:50. | |

As we prepare to gorge ourselves over the next few days what better | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
time to talk about chocolate. I have been to a chocolate making | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
factory for this week's family focus where they are doing more | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
than just producing tasty treats. Melting Belgian chocolate in all | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
kinds of flavours. This isn't Willie One car but another kitchen | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
where the pressure is on to get orders ready for Christmas. This is | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
a social enterprise business run by a charity - an alternative to day | :12:40. | :12:47. | |
care for adults with autism and it is hugely popular. I love it to | :12:47. | :12:57. | |
:12:57. | :12:58. | ||
bits. I would come on a Monday and Thursday and totally love it. | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
have eight trainees who come to the factory and learn all about the | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
chocolate making process. They really get involved with everything | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
from hand making the chocolate to packaging it and then selling it. | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
One of the most popular flavours is the raspberry and white chocolate. | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
Its creator is Andrea and she is delighted with its success. She | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
says she finds the whole experience invaluable. It is important because | :13:26. | :13:35. | |
it gives you a purpose. It gives you something to do and it means it | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
is a stepping stone to the big world and having a normal job like | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
everyone else. 26 year-old David has also found working him a boost | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
and says he often struggled to fit in. He now hopes to put his | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
chocolate making skills to good use. I would like to work in a | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
restaurant as a chef and have more experience in a kitchen. Social | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
enterprise is a great way for charities struggling with funding | :14:08. | :14:16. | |
to make money for themselves. These chocolates are now selling in many | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
locations in Northern Ireland and every chocolate sold sees money | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
going back into developing further opportunities for young adults with | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
autism and hopefully employment opportunities in future. | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
In just under a few hours we will find out who will be crowned BBC | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
Sports Personality of the Year it and with to Ulstermen in the | :14:37. | :14:47. | |
:14:47. | :14:48. | ||
running, it's exciting. Absolutely. There are two golfers | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
in the next. Either way, our Open champions will be on the red carpet | :14:54. | :15:04. | |
:15:04. | :15:06. | ||
Darren Clarke fulfilled a lifetime's ambition by lifting the | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
iconic Open Championship Claret Jug. Rory McIlroy won his first major at | :15:12. | :15:20. | |
the US Open. The 2010 BBC Sports Personality of the Year is AP | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
McCoy! CHEERING Now both golfers are | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
trying to get their hands on another piece of famous silver ware. | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
Will it be my first time ever attending the awards. I feel as | :15:32. | :15:39. | |
ifive got a bit of a chance. Yeah, it's something I always watched | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
growing up. It was always at Christmas time. It will be nice to | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
win, a huge honour, the list of names on that trophy. Will it be | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
pretty special to put my name among those great British sports stars. | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
Just enjoy the fact I've been nominated and have had such a great | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
year. I'm so proud of you. There were memorable and emotional | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
homecomings for Rory and Dan during the summer. Tonight their family | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
and friends will be supporting in the audience. It is wonderful to be | :16:13. | :16:20. | |
nominated. If the public vote for me, I will will be... Hopefully | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
introduce them to people they watch on the TV all the time. It is more | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
important to me they have a good night as opposed to how I do in the | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
voting. As long as they enjoy themselves it will be fine with me. | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
Northern Ireland's other major winner isn't sure whether either of | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
his friends will win. Having three golfers in the voting is office | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
difficult. It waters down the golf vote a little bit. Myself and Lee | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
Westwood discovered that last year. Rory has won a major and followed | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
it up with another two great wince. Darren, the emotional vote. For the | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
first time the sports personality of the awards are been staged here | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
in Salford. You can vote when the event is screened live on BBC One | :17:05. | :17:12. | |
at 8 o'clock tonight. And you can see a full list of the nominees on | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
the BBC sport website: For most of us Christmas is a time | :17:16. | :17:24. | |
to kick back and relax, but not for owl footballers. Derby Day is | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
Boxing Day. The rivalry is getting stronger | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
every year. This fixture has been value for money in recent seasons. | :17:35. | :17:43. | |
Just two-and-a-half miles separate Cliftonville and Crusaders, so just | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
why has this Derby arguably become the most entertaining in Belfast | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
even ahead of Glentoran against Linfield? This is why. 31 goals in | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
the last six meetings, the passion of the Derby is its biggest | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
strength. It helps that Cliftonville and Crusaders have | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
pushed for honours and there's also been the odd glimpse of red mist. | :18:10. | :18:17. | |
Players can see one reason why this Derby is outshining others in the | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
City. Over the years a lot of the years I played for them they always | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
had a core four or five players from east Belfast. Linfield did as | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
well. Cliftonville and Crusaders, a lot of local boys. For a lot of | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
players friendship is put on hold for the 90 minutes. He's a good | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
friend of mine but I don't think we'll be friends on the day. | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
They've been sending each other Christmas cards with a difference. | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
A strike! Gareth can see the funny side of it. Both teams will be hope | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
hoping to put on another unmissable Derby display. | :19:01. | :19:07. | |
Joining me is a man who know as thing or two about Belfast's Derby. | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
Now manager of Coleraine. A Boxing Day, it is special isn't it? | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
massive game. It is one that everybody looks forward to. How did | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
you make the adjustment for Christmas. I imagine Christmas in | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
your house will be different as a manager. Big time. The odd glass of | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
wine compared to as a player you have to look after yourself to make | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
sure you are ready for docksing day. Is it trickysome is there a buzz | :19:33. | :19:40. | |
about the place when trying to select players. Are you thinking | :19:40. | :19:47. | |
about who you are going to pick on Boxing Day? The old cliches that go | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
out the window. You have to pick a team on the day you know will fight | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
for everything to get a good result. It is going to be a big one. It's | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
been massive. Ballymena probably with a change of manager has | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
brought about a wee bit of form. For that, from that point of view | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
it is a tough game. A clash of this size, everybody just wants to win | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
it. I know our teacher. We are going to hear a bit of singing from | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
the choir. Have you been involved in that. We just work with the | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
sport. I stay well clear of that side of it. We'll come back in a | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
couple of minutes and Oran and I will go through our scales. This | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
time last year the ground was covered in snow and it was bitterly | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
cold. As we approach the Christmas weekend, it is a completely | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
different story this year. I think, would you not agree, it is pretty | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
would you not agree, it is pretty good. | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
mild as we head into the Christmas weekend. But that's after a | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
temporary drop in temperatures as we head into tomorrow. Nothing like | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
we had last year. Just a reminder of the widespread ice and snow in | :21:02. | :21:09. | |
the run-up to Christmas last year. On this day last year we had seem | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
temperatures dip to mine 17.5. This morning they were plus 10, a | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
difference of almost 28 degrees. We saw a record-breaking low of | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
minus 19 Celsius. It is going to turn chillier tonight. Not as cold | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
as that, thankfully. It is mild, cloudy and breezey. Then we get a | :21:29. | :21:35. | |
batch of rain. As that rain edges in, the breeze eases down. Some of | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
the rain persistent and heavy for a time. It starts to move away from | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
the west. Maybe dipping to 3 degrees in parts of the west. We | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
might get the odd icy patch. Tomorrow, a colder day that. Cold | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
air digs in for a time. That's going to bring a mixture of bright | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
spells and showers. Some of those could be wintry. Perhaps not first | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
thing. Will it be dry from a time behind that batch of rain. It | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
should be bright, but colder than we've been used to over the last | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
