:00:19. > :00:22.Good evening. The headlines on BBC Newsline: A Lisburn teenager with
:00:22. > :00:29.autism is left in a critical condition following what police say
:00:29. > :00:32.was a brutal and sustained attack. The regeneration of the Maze Prison
:00:32. > :00:42.site takes a significant step forward with the appointment of the
:00:42. > :00:43.
:00:43. > :00:47.man who's to head the project. See the site for what it is and not
:00:47. > :00:51.what it was. I want to change people's perception and we have to
:00:51. > :00:58.get people to come here. A family dog dies after being set on fire -
:00:58. > :01:06.a couple say their children are probably scarred for life.
:01:06. > :01:10.We knew she could not take the pain of much longer. But she was unable
:01:10. > :01:18.to walk at the end. We start a week-long test drive of an electric
:01:18. > :01:22.car - will it have the juice for my daily commute?
:01:22. > :01:25.Rory McIlory does it again. Today's weather, hardly fit for harvesting
:01:26. > :01:33.- find out how the rest of the week in shaping up later in the
:01:33. > :01:35.programme. An autistic teenager who was brutally beaten in Lisburn and
:01:35. > :01:41.lay unconscious and undiscovered overnight has been described as a
:01:41. > :01:45.gentle giant by police. Detectives investigating the vicious assault
:01:45. > :01:55.are baffled as to the motive and they have appealed for help from
:01:55. > :01:57.
:01:57. > :02:02.the public in tracking down the culprits.
:02:02. > :02:06.Scott is six foot three inches tall and weighs in at 15 stone. The
:02:06. > :02:10.teenager suffers from autism and is a well-known figure around Lisburn.
:02:10. > :02:16.Last Friday night, he was discovered badly beaten, lying in
:02:16. > :02:19.the grounds of these disused commercial units, next to the tow
:02:19. > :02:23.path not far from the centre Lisburn. He had been repeatedly
:02:23. > :02:28.kicked about the head and face. He lay undiscovered overnight before
:02:28. > :02:31.being tracked down by a police dog handler who knows the area well and
:02:31. > :02:36.he was acting on information from the teenager's friends that he was
:02:36. > :02:43.seen heading in the direction of the towpath. He was unconscious, he
:02:43. > :02:46.had been kicked repeatedly around the face and head. He but for the
:02:46. > :02:50.local knowledge of the police dog handler and the extensive search
:02:50. > :02:57.conducted, it is highly unlikely that he would have been found as
:02:57. > :03:03.quickly as he was. The dog handler knew the area and was able to go
:03:03. > :03:09.specifically to that spot. mother reported him missing on a
:03:09. > :03:13.Thursday night at 10pm. Police now I know he left the South Eastern
:03:13. > :03:19.College that afternoon. He played football in the nearby gardens and
:03:19. > :03:23.was last seen alone in a nearby area. Police don't know what
:03:23. > :03:29.happened in the 30 our period between then and a 17 year-old
:03:29. > :03:34.being fined. The fact he is artistic makes them more vulnerable.
:03:34. > :03:41.He has good friends, a loving family who are very shocked at this
:03:41. > :03:45.time. It was senseless, no reason for it. It was a brutal attack.
:03:45. > :03:48.Police are baffled as to the model for behind what they have described
:03:48. > :03:54.as the brutal beating of a vulnerable teenager. There is
:03:54. > :03:57.nothing to suggest it was sectarian or that a robbery was involved. The
:03:57. > :04:02.police officers investigating this case say somebody out there knows
:04:02. > :04:05.something and they want a person to get in touch with them. The Maze
:04:05. > :04:09.prison closed 12 years ago and since then, what to do with the
:04:09. > :04:12.site has been the subject of controversy. Today it was announced
:04:12. > :04:16.that the chairman of Glentoran Football Club is to lead the body
:04:16. > :04:20.which will oversee its redevelopment. Businessman Terence
:04:20. > :04:30.Brannigan is a former chairman of the CBI and is also a member of the
:04:30. > :04:32.
:04:32. > :04:36.DUP. There has been years of wrangling
:04:36. > :04:40.about how the controversial jail site should be developed but the
:04:40. > :04:47.appointment of this man, Terence Brannigan, means the project is now
:04:47. > :04:52.up and running. If you look here, you will have the peace building
:04:52. > :04:57.and conflict resolution centre air and over here, you will have the
:04:57. > :05:01.Royal Ulster Agricultural Society on 65 acres. The the plan is to be
:05:01. > :05:04.able to hold the agricultural show here next year while the peace
:05:04. > :05:09.centre is scheduled for completion by 2015 but given the massive scale
:05:09. > :05:13.of this site, developing work could still be continuing the 20 years.
:05:13. > :05:18.It is a long job but the developing corporation want to see the public
:05:18. > :05:23.using the site as soon as possible. We want to have events, music
:05:23. > :05:29.events, we want a community to come in and see the site for what it is,
:05:29. > :05:32.not what it was. The DUP were quick to welcome today's appointments.
:05:32. > :05:37.have a requirement to get a balanced board a living we have
:05:37. > :05:41.done very a belt. We have people with business acumen. Sinn Fein are
:05:41. > :05:45.also delighted. But for a short time this afternoon, Sinn Fein
:05:45. > :05:55.officials appeared concerned about this admission from the new
:05:55. > :06:00.chairman. You are a DUP member? At first, sources said he had not
:06:00. > :06:03.declared his DUP membership on his job application. Then the day
:06:03. > :06:07.because Minister played the matter down. I am quite relaxed about the
:06:08. > :06:11.political allegiances of people who are on it. If there's any
:06:11. > :06:17.controversy around one person in particular, which I am told the
:06:17. > :06:22.media have been interested in, that is a matter between that person and
:06:22. > :06:25.the people who processed the application will stop them is
:06:25. > :06:30.development board members also include a former Sinn Fein
:06:31. > :06:35.councillor and a former police assistant chief constable. Still to
:06:35. > :06:44.come on the programme: Why filling up your car could be cheaper than
:06:44. > :06:47.you ever imagined. Join me for more on our e-car trial. The collie dog
:06:47. > :06:50.who was set on fire two weeks ago has been put down. Three year-old
:06:50. > :06:54.Codie suffered serious injuries after she was doused with flammable
:06:55. > :06:58.liquid and set alight close to her home in Maghaberry. Her owners say
:06:58. > :07:08.they are devastated but that the vet decided she was just in too
:07:08. > :07:09.
:07:09. > :07:15.much pain. You may find some of the pictures in this report upsetting.
:07:15. > :07:20.Everybody loved her, she was not wary of any buddy. She loved
:07:20. > :07:25.orthodox and anyone in the village or anybody that you her knew she
:07:25. > :07:29.was at special dog. Two weeks ago, Codie suffered horrendous injuries
:07:29. > :07:33.when she was doused in flammable liquid and set alight. She appeared
:07:33. > :07:39.to be making progress but on Friday, the family that said there was
:07:40. > :07:44.nothing more he could do. The first week, she was not as bad as the
:07:44. > :07:49.second week. The pain was getting worse as the dead skin started to
:07:49. > :07:53.come away. Each day we saw her deteriorating and we knew she could
:07:53. > :07:59.not take the pain and much longer. She was on the strongest pain
:07:59. > :08:04.medication they could give her but she was unable to walk in the end.
:08:04. > :08:08.It has been hard watching her. family have been overwhelmed by
:08:08. > :08:13.support from the public with messages from home and abroad. They
:08:13. > :08:16.are appealing for anyone with information about what happened to
:08:17. > :08:24.their much loved pet to go to the police to make sure this does not
:08:24. > :08:29.happen again. It has scarred our children's lives for life, probably.
:08:29. > :08:36.We are always going to find it difficult to come to terms with. We
:08:36. > :08:40.don't have sympathy for people who do these sort of acts. Two men
:08:40. > :08:44.arrested in connection with the attack have been released on police
:08:44. > :08:49.bail pending further inquiries. Detectives say their investigation
:08:49. > :08:53.is continuing. Politicians at Stormont want the Chancellor George
:08:53. > :08:55.Osborne to cut taxes for tourism related businesses. A DUP motion
:08:55. > :09:01.today highlighted the tough competition the industry here faces
:09:01. > :09:04.from the Republic where VAT is less than half the rate here. Our
:09:04. > :09:12.Business and Economics Editor Jim Fitzpatrick has more and joins me
:09:12. > :09:18.now. Why single out VAT and the tourism
:09:18. > :09:22.industry in particular? Tourism employs a lot of people here. The
:09:22. > :09:28.good thing is, you don't need massive qualifications to get a job
:09:28. > :09:38.there and if we can grow that sector, it could bring young people
:09:38. > :09:41.at of employment. -- out of unemployment. Why VAT? Because it
:09:41. > :09:45.is less than half in the public and less again in some European
:09:45. > :09:50.countries. I spoke to one of our top restaurant years and he argued
:09:50. > :09:53.the case. It would be the best thing that could happen to the
:09:53. > :09:59.hospitality industry when you think of the percentage that is taken out
:10:00. > :10:06.of the overall turnover. Not the profit. To slice that much in to
:10:06. > :10:11.your week is a nightmare. A look at countries like France and is
:10:11. > :10:20.reduced to 5%. It just freeze so many things up, it is impossible
:10:21. > :10:25.for businesses to survive. I can see a lot of trades in big trouble.
:10:25. > :10:29.Stormont has no power over the 80 so was today's debate. Us?
:10:29. > :10:32.pointless but it was definitely powerless. That is why some people
:10:32. > :10:37.think Stormont would be better served looking at those taxes over
:10:37. > :10:45.which it does have control. Such as rates and I spoke to an expert who
:10:45. > :10:48.do is with businesses in trouble. The son has rates is an issue that
:10:48. > :10:52.Israel and is something that needs to be addressed. It has not been
:10:52. > :10:57.looked at in 10 years and that is the main cost within businesses
:10:57. > :11:01.today. We advise businesses who are struggling to pay their rates and
:11:01. > :11:04.we need Stormont to look at that. That is the one piece of
:11:04. > :11:07.legislation they can directly impact and changed so that is
:11:07. > :11:11.something where they have control of and if they have control of that,
:11:11. > :11:15.they should look at that to see where they can help reduce that and
:11:15. > :11:25.benefit businesses directly. much would a cut in either tax
:11:25. > :11:26.
:11:26. > :11:30.cost? Let's have a look. Northern Ireland, it raises �2400 million at
:11:30. > :11:35.you. That would not be the cost here because we're only talking
:11:35. > :11:39.about one sector, not liking it out entirely. Because this would have
:11:39. > :11:44.to be applied across the UK, the absolute cost to the Chancellor
:11:44. > :11:50.would be in the order of billions. Let's look at rates. In Northern
:11:50. > :11:55.Ireland, that is �500 million commercial rates. Stormont has
:11:55. > :11:59.control of that. If it cuts that, it would lose that money from its
:11:59. > :12:02.coffers so the question is, is it willing to put its money where its
:12:02. > :12:05.mouth is. The priest at St Patrick's church in north Belfast
:12:05. > :12:08.has offered to hold talks with a loyal order after a parading
:12:08. > :12:11.disputed lead to trouble in the area. Last month bands taking part
:12:11. > :12:15.in the Royal Black Institution parade defied a Parades Commission
:12:15. > :12:18.ruling by playing music outside the church. Now the administrator of
:12:18. > :12:25.the church, Father Michael Sheehan, has asked the Royal Black to meet
:12:25. > :12:27.with members of the Church. He said they have an opportunity to
:12:27. > :12:37.demonstrate with generosity and goodwill that it is possible to
:12:37. > :12:40.reach local agreement. Still to come on the programme: I'm
:12:40. > :12:50.live with some of the world's best anglers hoping to land the biggets
:12:50. > :12:51.
:12:51. > :12:55.prize in coarse fishing. We all know the price of diesel and
:12:55. > :12:58.petrol but what if someone offered to sell you a car with cheaper
:12:58. > :13:02.running costs but the only problem was you had to stop to top it up
:13:02. > :13:06.every 90 miles or so. This week on BBC Newsline we're taking an
:13:06. > :13:09.electric car for a test-drive. Our reporter Conor Macauley will be
:13:09. > :13:19.using it for his daily commute and he is just getting a little juice
:13:19. > :13:24.before he heads home. There are a range of battery
:13:24. > :13:30.operated cars on the moment -- on the market at the moment. This is a
:13:30. > :13:33.pure battery-operated car and has a range of about 90 miles. I have 25
:13:34. > :13:38.miles to do tonight. I brought it here to get a charge before I set
:13:38. > :13:42.off. Range is the key issue in these vehicles because many people
:13:42. > :13:48.are quite understandably afraid, worried they will run out of power
:13:48. > :13:54.before they get to where they are going. It is called range anxiety.
:13:54. > :14:01.The Executive is spending �200 million establishing these power
:14:01. > :14:04.points to get around that. We have 40 of them installed and in
:14:04. > :14:12.the next nine months, we will install another one hand and 30
:14:12. > :14:16.charge pounds. Electric vehicles have a range of around 100 miles.
:14:16. > :14:23.People have journeys which may exceed that and the need to be
:14:23. > :14:29.reassured that they can top up. People can be afraid to travel more
:14:29. > :14:34.than that distance. These charge pounds will help to alleviate the
:14:34. > :14:38.anxiety because people will know where they hour and they can charge
:14:38. > :14:45.up while doing their shopping. about the cost of the car and
:14:45. > :14:50.banning it? There are deer to buy but cheaper to run. This one costs
:14:50. > :14:57.�30,000 although there is a �5000 government grant. It is in the
:14:57. > :15:01.running costs were you will see the difference. I put � 40 of diesel to
:15:01. > :15:05.do my journeys and they tell me I could do the same mileage with
:15:05. > :15:10.about �10 of electricity. We will check all of this out around the
:15:10. > :15:15.car this week. If you have any questions, send a message on
:15:15. > :15:25.Twitter. Later, a report to get on a trip around Northern Ireland,
:15:25. > :15:31.
:15:31. > :15:35.purely on battery power! Rory McIlory has been quoted in a
:15:35. > :15:38.newspaper article today saying he feels more British and Irish. Some
:15:38. > :15:43.people have regarded that as important because of the Olympics
:15:43. > :15:48.in four years' time. Golf will be played there in real as a sport for
:15:48. > :15:55.the first time and it appears by these comments that Roy McIlory may
:15:55. > :15:57.planned to play for Team GB rather than team Ireland. He does go on to
:15:58. > :16:00.say it is a difficult choice and leaves them in an awful position
:16:01. > :16:06.and hopes everyone will understand would have a choice he makes. He
:16:06. > :16:15.has played all his got so far for Ireland. It is not definitive and
:16:15. > :16:22.the debate will go on. To many people, it does not really matter.
:16:22. > :16:28.What ever the case, he would make any Olympic team at the moment. In
:16:28. > :16:36.unbelievable form at the moment. Last Night's win was worth almost
:16:36. > :16:40.$1.5 million. He has won over $20 million in his short career and he
:16:40. > :16:45.has a chance in a couple of weeks' time to win another $10 million
:16:45. > :16:48.bonus in the play-offs. It is absolutely staggering. He told us
:16:48. > :16:56.the secret to his excess was winning that second major
:16:56. > :17:02.championship. To get in contention, I felt I hadn't been there for a
:17:02. > :17:06.while. Once I could finish it the way I did, it gave me so much
:17:06. > :17:10.confidence going into these events. In Boston when I had a chance to
:17:10. > :17:14.win, I was able to do it and today, having a chance going into the
:17:14. > :17:18.final day, it should be another great round. And then some of the
:17:18. > :17:28.best golf in my life now and confidence is high and we just want
:17:28. > :17:29.
:17:29. > :17:35.to keep this going as long as I can. To win with the best deals in golf,
:17:35. > :17:42.it is a nice feeling, knowing that you can turn up to these events and
:17:42. > :17:44.win and win regularly. It does a lot for your confidence. Northern
:17:44. > :17:54.Ireland have no fitness worries ahead of tomorrow night's World Cup
:17:54. > :17:54.
:17:54. > :17:58.qualifier against Luxembourg. Luxembourg provide the opposition.
:17:58. > :18:03.They may be regarded as footballing minnows but are 23 places above now
:18:03. > :18:05.than in the world rankings. The return of Shane Ferguson to the
:18:05. > :18:10.squad following injury gives Northern Ireland another attacking
:18:10. > :18:20.option. Against another country they have played only once, winning
:18:20. > :18:25.3-1. We tried to win and will utilise our possessions as much as
:18:25. > :18:31.possible and create as much opportunity as we can. Will there
:18:31. > :18:37.be many personnel changes? One or two, I think. We have a few things
:18:37. > :18:40.we have worked at and we have looked at the opposition. If I
:18:40. > :18:45.change the team, is a reflection on the team but as having a different
:18:45. > :18:51.approach to the team. David Healy made his debut in that match
:18:51. > :18:55.against Luxembourg 12 years ago. Michael said today he wanted to the
:18:55. > :19:03.striker to sign up for this game and the trip to Russia but he was
:19:03. > :19:05.unavailable. Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni has
:19:05. > :19:08.warned James McClean that he is lucky to still have an
:19:09. > :19:11.international career. James admitted sending a stupid and
:19:11. > :19:17.disrespect comment on Twitter after his omission from the starting
:19:17. > :19:20.line-up for the World Cup match against Kazakhstan on Friday. He
:19:20. > :19:25.has since apologised to the whole Irish squad. The Republic face Oman
:19:25. > :19:30.in a friendly at Fulham's Craven Cottage tomorrow. James McClean is
:19:30. > :19:33.on the bench once more. Coleraine moved top of the Irish
:19:33. > :19:36.Premiership after victory over bottom side Lisburn Distillery.
:19:36. > :19:40.Midfielder Stephen Lowry scored a second for the home side in a 2-1
:19:40. > :19:45.win. Linfield bounced back from their midweek defeat to Crusaders
:19:45. > :19:48.with a little help from the referee. Striker Ryan Henderson benefitting
:19:48. > :19:52.from a deflection off the official, much to the annoyance of the
:19:52. > :20:02.Portadown defence. Ballinamallard ended Cliftonville's unbeaten start

:20:04. > :20:07.Ulster rugby players continued their impressive start to the
:20:07. > :20:11.season at the weekend, grabbing a dramatic 16-13 win over the Ospreys
:20:11. > :20:21.to make it two out of two in the Pro Twelve under new coach Mark
:20:21. > :20:22.
:20:22. > :20:25.Anscombe. Walking out of the changing rooms,
:20:25. > :20:30.Ulster new a victory could send them to the top of the Pro Twelve
:20:30. > :20:34.and capture a rare victory in Swansea where they last won rugby's
:20:34. > :20:44.league trophy in 2005. Traditionally they have struggled
:20:44. > :20:44.
:20:44. > :20:48.when playing Wales. The Ospreys were home and dry. At 13-3, their
:20:48. > :20:55.undefeated record as coach looks finished. Paddy Jackson and kept
:20:55. > :20:58.Ulster within striking distance. But, it looked too little, too late.
:20:58. > :21:01.There is something different about the determination at Ulster rugby
:21:01. > :21:08.at the moment and just when it looked like Ospreys would hold out,
:21:08. > :21:13.within minutes, Paul Marshall crossed the line and after
:21:13. > :21:19.consultation with the T N O, Ulster were a row for that to try and the
:21:19. > :21:27.wind. To come to Ospreys home ground and get a win. We will take
:21:27. > :21:36.it. The second half, we just put her head down and we knew we had to
:21:36. > :21:40.wear them down and we do that eventually. Next up, it is Munster
:21:40. > :21:43.on a Friday night. There were mixed fortunes for Northern Irish riders
:21:43. > :21:47.in the latest round of the Superbikes in Germany. Jonathan Rea
:21:47. > :21:52.crashed out early in race one although he did recover with a 4th
:21:52. > :22:00.place in race two which leaves him 5th overall. But Eugene Laverty had
:22:00. > :22:03.two podium finishes, coming second in both races yesterday. That means
