:00:27. > :00:32.Good evening. Here are the headlines: The son and nephew of

:00:32. > :00:38.the Fermanagh businessman Sean Quinn are jailed 40 months.

:00:38. > :00:43.The moment when an gunmen fired shots in Ardoyne.

:00:43. > :00:46.Furniture retailer or Fulton's goes into administration.

:00:46. > :00:51.Find out what role these children will play in the opening ceremony

:00:51. > :00:55.of the Olympic Games. It has been a disappointing day for

:00:55. > :01:01.Rory McIlroy at their Open Championship, but Graham Meadowhall

:01:01. > :01:09.is still in that to win another title. -- Graeme McDowell.

:01:09. > :01:13.Keith and we will have the weather later.

:01:13. > :01:21.The Sun and the nephew of Fermanagh businessman Sean Quinn have been

:01:21. > :01:25.sent his two at least three months in jail for their part in trying to

:01:25. > :01:32.hide a property portfolio from at the Anglo-Irish back. Sean Quinn,

:01:32. > :01:37.once almonds richest man, now bankrupt, was spared jail. -- once

:01:37. > :01:43.the richest man in Ireland. When the the Bank tried to get its

:01:43. > :01:47.money back, Sean Quinn Junior and Peter Darragh Quinn conspired to

:01:47. > :01:56.could the property beyond the reach of the bank. They are now facing a

:01:56. > :02:00.period behind bars. Our reporter is at the High Court in Dublin.

:02:00. > :02:05.A remarkable day of drama here at the High Court in Dublin. Sean

:02:05. > :02:15.Quinn is spared jail for now. He could still face jail if he does

:02:15. > :02:16.

:02:16. > :02:21.not take actions in the next three months. One person did not show up

:02:21. > :02:27.for the trial, and another person is heading to jail. Sean Quinn

:02:27. > :02:32.junior used to travel in it a private jet. Today he was heading

:02:32. > :02:37.for jail. An indefinite prison term ahead of him. He should have been

:02:37. > :02:42.joined by Peter Darragh Quinn, that he failed to turn up to the hearing.

:02:42. > :02:46.A warrant for his arrest has been issued. Sean Quinn is Senior has

:02:47. > :02:52.escaped prison for a knife. His co- operation with the authorities is

:02:52. > :02:57.now crucial in avoiding his own incarceration. He must have first

:02:57. > :03:01.asset transfers which have deprived the back of hundreds of millions.

:03:01. > :03:06.Once the 12th richest man in the United Kingdom, Sean Quinn erupt

:03:06. > :03:12.soldiers with it that rich and powerful.

:03:12. > :03:19.-- he rubbed shoulders with the rich and powerful.

:03:19. > :03:25.But he went bust owing millions to aback. He blamed the back for his

:03:25. > :03:33.downfall. What Anglo Irish Bank has done to my group is like somebody

:03:33. > :03:40.taking a sledgehammer to a toy. They have destroyed it. The bank

:03:40. > :03:49.said it was simply collecting money ought to the taxpayer. 2.8 million

:03:49. > :03:55.euros is of concern to the taxpayer. I do not expect to recover all but,

:03:55. > :04:01.but our job is to recover as much as we can.

:04:01. > :04:11.The banks hope of gaining back any money lay in at portfolio. Much of

:04:11. > :04:12.

:04:12. > :04:18.that was an Eastern Europe. But it was literally locked out.

:04:18. > :04:22.What is the problem? The shopping centre is worth �40 million. It

:04:22. > :04:26.turns rent of several million per year, but the bank has not seen a

:04:26. > :04:36.penny duty transfers illegally made by Sean Quinn, his son, and his

:04:36. > :04:40.nephew. This is the only English-speaking

:04:40. > :04:44.country in Central America. This dusty post office box his

:04:44. > :04:52.headquarters to a company that took charge of �100 million. But the

:04:52. > :04:57.money remains out of reach. The assets were transferred offshore.

:04:57. > :05:00.The documents were backdated. His empire may have fallen, but an

:05:00. > :05:03.international chase for hidden treasure has begun.

:05:03. > :05:07.A one thing you could say in the defence of Sean Quinn is that he

:05:07. > :05:12.did not act until after he lost control of the empire. We know that

:05:12. > :05:17.because of the backdated documents, but it is an eager to fence. At a

:05:17. > :05:22.time he was shifting assets, he was no longer in charge of the empire.

:05:22. > :05:26.He had been deposed. He was a bogus director using fake documents to

:05:26. > :05:30.take assets that belongs to the highest taxpayer beyond their

:05:30. > :05:35.control. Sean Quinn escapes jail for now, not because he was less

:05:35. > :05:42.guilty than his son or nephew, but some do because the judge hopes to

:05:42. > :05:45.be him out will see money returned more quickly.

:05:45. > :05:50.Lawyers for the defendants said it was almost medieval to put the son

:05:50. > :05:54.in jail in the hope that the chieftain would co-operate with the

:05:54. > :06:01.back. At that is what the judge has chosen to do. He is also seeking

:06:01. > :06:04.Peter Darragh Quinn. Meanwhile Sean Quinn senior must

:06:04. > :06:08.co-operate with the back within three months or he himself could

:06:08. > :06:14.face jail. -- the bank.

:06:14. > :06:21.Sean Quinn is a hero to many people in the Fermanagh and cabinet the

:06:21. > :06:24.region. How has the case gone down there? -- Fermanagh and Cavan.

:06:24. > :06:29.There is a feeling in this community that Sean Quinn has been

:06:29. > :06:34.made a scapegoat. There is a fierce loyalty here to a man who has

:06:34. > :06:37.provided employment to thousands of people over the past 40 years. Many

:06:37. > :06:42.people believe that the court action taken against him is not

:06:42. > :06:48.just. What inspired thousands of people

:06:48. > :06:54.to take to the streets in support of Sean Quinn?

:06:54. > :07:00.One reason. Jobs. 40 years ago for a manner was an

:07:00. > :07:08.economic backwater. As Sean Quinn's empire grew thousands of families

:07:08. > :07:15.came it to depend on it for their livelihood.

:07:15. > :07:21.Sean Quinn has worked for 40 years. That was his contribution to people.

:07:21. > :07:25.His contribution was to make jobs for people. He has gone into

:07:25. > :07:31.situations where jobs were being lost and he has saved them. He may

:07:31. > :07:34.have been a billionaire, but here he was just Sean Quinn.

:07:34. > :07:38.Here they do not understand why millions of Euros are being spent

:07:38. > :07:44.pursuing him through the courts. There seems to be a court case in

:07:44. > :07:53.every country in the world. He is at for contempt of court again.

:07:54. > :07:59.There is a big court case next year. But how much is this costing the

:07:59. > :08:09.taxpayer? This week a protest has been taking

:08:09. > :08:11.

:08:11. > :08:16.place. When I met Sean Quinn first we made

:08:16. > :08:26.a deal and we were told I would be a very old man before the contract

:08:26. > :08:27.

:08:27. > :08:34.was over. His handshake was his Honour. This man says the former

:08:34. > :08:40.billionaire if treated in the same at anybody else. If he saw me in

:08:40. > :08:46.trouble he would stop the car and talk. Over the last 18 months there

:08:46. > :08:51.has been vandalism and a tax on property owned by eight the Sean

:08:51. > :08:57.Quinn group. Following today's judgment there has been an appeal

:08:57. > :09:01.for calm. He left a great legacy of jobs. It is incumbent upon us all

:09:01. > :09:10.to look after jobs and look after the legacy that Sean Quinn has

:09:10. > :09:14.given us. Many families here still depend on

:09:14. > :09:18.those jobs he created. The main feeling here is that nothing is

:09:18. > :09:22.done to jeopardise the future of those jobs.

:09:22. > :09:31.You can get more details and analysis of that case on our news

:09:31. > :09:35.website. Film footage has emerged showing a

:09:35. > :09:39.republican a dissident gunman opening fire on police during the

:09:39. > :09:49.12th trouble in Ardoyne. Police say they will examine the pictures

:09:49. > :09:49.

:09:49. > :09:55.which reveal a total of 17 shots were fired on riot officers.

:09:55. > :10:01.This is the video. In the foreground is a crowd and a burned-

:10:01. > :10:07.out car. Then the sound of rapid gunfire. We have highlighted a

:10:07. > :10:14.gunman. He fires 17 shots. This is one of the bullets being directed

:10:14. > :10:19.upwards towards the police fat line. Their attack was mounted at the

:10:19. > :10:24.height of the 12th day of rioting. At the time police say there were

:10:24. > :10:31.at least 10 it shots are fired. A classic as attempted murder.

:10:31. > :10:38.This was where this it shooting happened. The footage was boot on

:10:38. > :10:44.the internet on 13th July. -- was put on.

:10:44. > :10:49.The footage shows how the crowd was used as cover. The gunman is on at

:10:49. > :10:56.the far footpath. He seems crouched over. As he moves backwards he

:10:56. > :11:03.fires up. In separate developments two more

:11:03. > :11:13.men have been charged in connection with the rioting. Witnesses are

:11:13. > :11:14.

:11:14. > :11:19.being sought. There may be no Glastonbury this

:11:19. > :11:22.year but the music plays on at our very own the Glasgowbury.

:11:23. > :11:31.At Rory McIlroy finds the going tough in the second round of the

:11:31. > :11:36.Open Championship. A well-known furniture retailer has

:11:36. > :11:44.been placed into administration. Fultons Furnishing has been in

:11:44. > :11:50.business for 50 years. The company employs 57 people. It is best known

:11:50. > :11:58.for her it at huge show room in Belfast. It will continue to trade

:11:58. > :12:04.while the administrator decides of it has a future.

:12:04. > :12:10.This type of store is facing serious competition. Supermarkets

:12:10. > :12:14.are now selling more and more furniture. Many small independent

:12:14. > :12:20.furniture stores have also closed their doors. People are putting off

:12:20. > :12:24.buying furniture. People are pitting of what they would class as

:12:24. > :12:30.luxury items. That poses particular problems to retailers such as

:12:30. > :12:32.Fulton's. I member of the National Trust

:12:32. > :12:36.Advisory Board in Northern Ireland has resigned over the decision to

:12:36. > :12:42.launch a legal challenge to the building of a golf course near the

:12:42. > :12:46.Giants Causeway. Peter Dixon, whose day job is chief Executive of

:12:46. > :12:55.Phoenix Gas, up was not happy with the opposition of the trust to the

:12:55. > :12:59.Mickey Harte said a summer camp set up on behalf of his daughter

:12:59. > :13:09.celebrated all that is good in people. He was speaking at the

:13:09. > :13:09.

:13:10. > :13:15.finale of the event in County Tyrone.

:13:15. > :13:20.Michaela McAreavey was passionate about faith, fashion and fun. They

:13:20. > :13:26.were the first elements in the camp. From his widower and her father,

:13:26. > :13:30.Mickey Harte, it was a superb way to celebrate her life. It is the

:13:30. > :13:34.end of a wonderful week, where everything good and positive about

:13:34. > :13:38.life was espoused from the minute the young girls came through.

:13:39. > :13:44.Everything good you see in young people in general. It is such a

:13:44. > :13:49.change from the stuff we had to deal with. Last week, two men were

:13:49. > :13:52.acquitted of murdering Michaela on her honeymoon. The authorities are

:13:52. > :13:56.pressing on with the murder investigation. This week,

:13:56. > :14:01.Michaela's relatives have been focusing on giving these children

:14:01. > :14:07.the most enriching experience possible.

:14:07. > :14:11.70 girls aged between 11hf13 took part in the camp. Michaela's

:14:11. > :14:16.sister-in-law was one of the leaders. Michaela would have been

:14:16. > :14:20.in her element, especially with it being here, a place very special to

:14:20. > :14:23.her. Michaela went to school her. She did teaching practise here. So

:14:23. > :14:28.I know that Michaela has certainly been with us every single step of

:14:28. > :14:32.the way, not just this week, but without all of the planning.

:14:32. > :14:36.Certainly to help us out today, keeping the rain away. Thanks to

:14:36. > :14:40.Michaela. The camp will be back next year. The families want to

:14:40. > :14:45.take it beyond Tyrone, hoping Michaela's legacy will last many

:14:45. > :14:51.years and touch many people and places.

:14:51. > :14:57.Now, at a time when some music festivals are being forced to scale

:14:57. > :15:03.back or cancel, one musician's collective in the Sperrins is

:15:03. > :15:07.planning to expand. Glasgowbury was set up more than a decade ago to

:15:07. > :15:17.showcase local talent. The organisers say they have big plans

:15:17. > :15:19.

:15:19. > :15:23.Now in its 12th year the organisers of Glasgowbury are determined to

:15:23. > :15:27.put local talent at the heart of the festival.

:15:27. > :15:34.These boys will be performing this year.

:15:34. > :15:37.Glasgowbury is not just a festival. We have children's and youth

:15:37. > :15:46.programmes throughout the year, music and multi-media. It is a real

:15:46. > :15:51.busy time. Seasoned musicians believe

:15:52. > :15:56.Glasgowbury is one of the few festivals which gives raw talent

:15:56. > :16:02.the chance to perform. The setting is wonderful I's all for new music.

:16:02. > :16:12.That's the thing. It is mostly unseen bands. A lot of bands from

:16:12. > :16:16.

:16:16. > :16:22.the north-west are here. It's the place to be for music.

:16:23. > :16:29.Therapy will headline this year's gig. Other highlights include an

:16:29. > :16:36.appearance by Japanese Pop stars and there'll be a kid's zone. But

:16:36. > :16:46.the focus, as ever, will be on new and emerging talent, like 15 Jemma

:16:46. > :16:53.

:16:53. > :16:59.Bradley. This multi--talented Very nice too! Looks good. Good

:16:59. > :17:07.talent there. It is day two of the Open. Poor old Rory McIlroy has

:17:07. > :17:11.been struggling. Graeme McDowell is still at the hub. Hello.

:17:11. > :17:16.Good evening. We know that Graeme McDowell is the man for the big

:17:16. > :17:20.occasion. He has led this championship before. He won the US

:17:20. > :17:24.Open in 2010. Last month he finished second in the same

:17:24. > :17:30.tournament. Now he has given himself a big chance to win the

:17:30. > :17:35.biggest prize of all. He is tied for fourth place, one shot behind

:17:35. > :17:40.Tiger Woods and six behind the leader. As for Rory McIlroy, well

:17:40. > :17:45.his challenge faltered after another eventful day. When the

:17:45. > :17:49.cloud clears this morning, it was obvious that the heavy overnight

:17:49. > :17:55.rain had caused all sorts of problems.

:17:55. > :18:02.It was trouble of a different kind which Rory McIlroy found himself in.

:18:02. > :18:09.Keep it under the branch! Some way ward shots saw him slip down the

:18:09. > :18:13.leaderboard. He's right on the middle of the fourth tee. McIlroy

:18:13. > :18:22.bounced back. But it was not long before the

:18:22. > :18:26.alarm bells were ringing. He found himself in too many of

:18:26. > :18:36.these treacherous 205 bunkers. A disappointing day for the world

:18:36. > :18:38.

:18:38. > :18:42.number two. Too far! It made the tough balls

:18:42. > :18:48.play tougher. It felt like every hole was in the wind. It was one of

:18:48. > :18:51.those days where I could not get on my game and I struggled to get any

:18:51. > :18:55.momentum. It was straight back to the practise range for him to work

:18:55. > :18:59.with his coach. At the same time Graeme McDowell was mounting a

:18:59. > :19:07.challenge. Lovely!

:19:07. > :19:10.The Portrush man once again found his delicate touch on the greens.

:19:10. > :19:17.This shot helped produce another birdie and move him into a tie for

:19:17. > :19:21.fourth place at the half-way stage of the round.

:19:21. > :19:25.The reigning champion was warming up. Try and show some of the form

:19:25. > :19:32.that won him the tournament last year. This is two at the fifth.

:19:32. > :19:37.Darren Clarke left it too late to make the halfway point. As did the

:19:37. > :19:44.British amateur champion on his Open debut. Despite an impressive

:19:44. > :19:53.round today. Haring on the will be here for the

:19:53. > :19:58.weekend, -- Harrington will be here for the weekend. On last night's

:19:58. > :20:02.programme we brought you the story of how Rory McIlroy struck a

:20:02. > :20:07.spectator with a way ward drive. The young man is called Jason Blue.

:20:07. > :20:13.He is a bigger fan now, despite what happened. Last night, to say

:20:13. > :20:17.sorry, Rory gave him a treat and met up with him again today. BBC

:20:17. > :20:20.Newsline was there. We didn't see his ball coming through the air at

:20:20. > :20:27.all. I felt something hit me in the head. It knocked me over, the force

:20:27. > :20:30.of it. It took me a few seconds to work out what hit me. I didn't know

:20:30. > :20:36.it was McIlroy's until he walked over. It was an amazing experience.

:20:36. > :20:45.It was not what I expected at all. How is the head? A bit sore. But it

:20:45. > :20:50.will be OK. No stitches? I was at a local cricket camp camping. Went

:20:50. > :20:53.back to the campsite. Half an hour later, we got a call from his

:20:53. > :20:58.manager offering to put up newspaper a hotel for a night, so

:20:58. > :21:02.we had a nice night. Very comfortable. You got to meet him

:21:02. > :21:07.today? Met him. Had some photos. I guess it is something you will not

:21:07. > :21:13.get to do again. An interesting experience! More like a painful

:21:13. > :21:18.experience, but a nice touch from Rory McIlroy. Now it is the show

:21:18. > :21:26.piece occasion of the Gaelic football season. This weekend

:21:26. > :21:35.Donegal put their title on the line. Donegal were going for back to back

:21:35. > :21:40.Ulster titles the last time they faced Down 21 years ago. They had

:21:40. > :21:47.other ideas! A classy forward. Just look at the

:21:47. > :21:51.smile on the manager's face. James McCartan is now the man

:21:51. > :21:56.calling the shots. The bookmakers might be making his squad underdogs,

:21:56. > :22:01.but he's hoping history will repeat itself.

:22:01. > :22:04.We find it difficult to put back- to-back Ulster matches together.

:22:04. > :22:08.They are looking to put championships together. People are

:22:08. > :22:12.talking about all-Ireland contenders and rightly so. Look,

:22:12. > :22:16.we're coming under the radar. We're not fancies. I don't need to talk

:22:16. > :22:21.down our chances. It is what it is. We think we have a fighting chance.

:22:21. > :22:25.We will try and deliver on the day. Donegal have been impressive en

:22:25. > :22:28.route to the final, particularly in their last match against Tyrone.

:22:28. > :22:32.Tofrpblgts be back in a second final, it sort of gives you the

:22:33. > :22:36.confidence as well. It is a huge test, a huge challenge for the

:22:36. > :22:42.players and you know, we came through it and, to be back, two

:22:42. > :22:48.years in a row, in the final, we will definitely, you know, stand

:22:48. > :22:52.the younger players moving forward and give them great confidence.

:22:52. > :22:59.Down have many experience. Many playing in an all-Ireland final two

:22:59. > :23:03.years ago. None of them though have won a provincial winners' medal.

:23:03. > :23:08.seems to be different all together. If they are defending well, then

:23:08. > :23:13.they are breaking out in attacking stage, then nobody can say they are

:23:13. > :23:17.defensive. When you see seven or eight players attacking at the same

:23:17. > :23:20.time. It is a challenge to have to overcome, if we try and take the

:23:20. > :23:26.chance. It will be very tough. Sunday evening, one of these teams

:23:26. > :23:32.will be in an all-Ireland quarter- final, the other will be battling

:23:32. > :23:37.in the back door. And the match is live on BBC Two on Sunday. That's

:23:37. > :23:41.it from Lytham. I'm off to catch up with Graeme McDowell. He is just

:23:41. > :23:47.finishing, way up there, on the 18th hole. You can hear that

:23:47. > :23:53.interview on tonight's BBC News Line.

:23:53. > :23:57.Now, just how nervous and excited would you be if you were to sing to

:23:57. > :24:02.billions of people? Well, that is the prospect for members of a choir

:24:02. > :24:05.here. They are going to be in a video which will form part of the

:24:05. > :24:11.Olympic opening ceremony next Friday.

:24:11. > :24:14.Looking this way, everybody, looking this way. Last mf minute

:24:57. > :25:03.last few days they have travelled to Northern Ireland's best-known

:25:03. > :25:08.location to perform our best-known song. I think Danny Boy is a good
