Good evening. Roads are being blocked again by

:00:19.:00:25.

loyalists in Belfast and elsewhere. This was the scene in the east of

:00:25.:00:34.

the city. More in a moment. Also: Belfast traders urge an end to flag

:00:34.:00:38.

protests after a weekend of disruption.

:00:53.:00:56.

Ulster's rugby team loses their unbeaten record and one of their

star players to injury. And it has been a mild day of

:01:10.:01:11.

whether but will the rest of the Loyalist protesters have blocked

:01:11.:01:16.

roads in the greater Belfast area this evening, two weeks after

:01:16.:01:19.

Belfast City Council voted to restrict the flying of the Union

:01:19.:01:23.

flag at city hall. There are also reports of protests in Londonderry

:01:23.:01:27.

and elsewhere. For the latest on the disruption to commuters in

:01:27.:01:32.

Belfast, we are joined on the phone by a BBC Radio Ulster's traffic and

:01:32.:01:39.

travel reporter. Which areas are badly affected this evening?

:01:39.:01:44.

The Albert Bridge Road and Temple Moore Avenue are blocked. Bell's

:01:45.:01:51.

Bridge is not passable. In the south, Armagh road is blocked at

:01:51.:01:57.

the Embankment. In the city centre, avoid great Victoria Street and

:01:57.:02:03.

Bridge Street, you cannot pass them. Police have closed some roads

:02:03.:02:13.

because of a protest. In Londonderry, a road into the city

:02:13.:02:18.

is blocked. Reports are that Ballyclare town-centre is

:02:18.:02:22.

gridlocked. If she has any updates, we will

:02:22.:02:26.

return to her this evening. The DUP and Ulster Unionist party

:02:26.:02:30.

leaders are understood to be meeting the leaders of the loyal

:02:30.:02:34.

orders around now. There is speculation about an announcement

:02:35.:02:38.

of a Unionist forum later this week which would seek to redress the

:02:38.:02:42.

flak's dispute and other issues like the low rate of voter

:02:42.:02:52.
:02:52.:02:53.

registration -- the flag's dispute. We will look at the impact street

:02:53.:02:56.

protests are having on business shortly, but first Mervyn Jess

:02:56.:03:00.

looks at what happened at the weekend in Belfast.

:03:00.:03:04.

With just over a week until Christmas, the atmosphere was far

:03:04.:03:09.

from festive at City Hall at the weekend. Loyalists came from all

:03:09.:03:15.

parts of Belfast for the city centre protest rally. Hundreds

:03:15.:03:19.

gathered in front of the building that is at the centre of the

:03:19.:03:23.

dispute, carrying the Union flag that is only allowed to be flowed

:03:23.:03:28.

at City Hall on designated days of the year. There was traffic

:03:28.:03:31.

disruption, however shopping continued in the city centre. The

:03:31.:03:37.

Christmas market remained open throughout the protest. The police

:03:37.:03:42.

had warned that blocking the roads around City Hall was illegal.

:03:42.:03:45.

However, fears over confrontation appeared to be quickly defused by

:03:45.:03:55.

loyalist leaders and senior officers on the ground. The protest

:03:55.:04:00.

lasted one hour. Up to 1,000 people marched around City Hall. People

:04:00.:04:05.

came here to have peaceful protests. We have all sorts of orders in

:04:05.:04:08.

place. I am trying to make sure people understand and stay legal

:04:08.:04:13.

within this. A prayers for peace vigil was held at city hall at the

:04:13.:04:16.

weekend with hundreds of people linking hands as they encircled the

:04:16.:04:22.

building. There must be another way to try to understand where all of

:04:22.:04:28.

these feelings and fears come from. The last thing we want to do is

:04:28.:04:34.

manipulate and exploit them, and I fear that has been happening.

:04:34.:04:38.

Families gathered outside City Hall yesterday in support of calls for

:04:38.:04:44.

peace and a halt to street protests. Meanwhile the First and Deputy

:04:44.:04:46.

First Ministers are arranging a meeting of the main Stormont party

:04:46.:04:51.

leaders tomorrow with a view to them calling for an end to the flag

:04:51.:04:55.

protests. A source close to the deputy first minister says he is of

:04:55.:04:59.

the view that the UDF is behind the protest activity and the attempted

:04:59.:05:03.

murder of a woman police officer on duty outside an east Belfast of

:05:03.:05:12.

this last week. Pubs and shops in Belfast are

:05:12.:05:17.

reporting business down by up to one-fifth as protests continue. Our

:05:17.:05:20.

Business correspondent reports that the disruption is changing spending

:05:20.:05:24.

habits. After yet another weekend of

:05:24.:05:29.

disruption, traders in Belfast have had once again been counting the

:05:29.:05:33.

cost. A bomb scare made this avenue resembled a ghost town on what

:05:33.:05:36.

should have been one of the busiest shopping days of the year. This was

:05:36.:05:40.

on top of the Union Flag protests, which are hitting traders in the

:05:40.:05:45.

pocket. One business reported custom at the weekend was down by

:05:45.:05:49.

15% on the same time last year. December should make up for the

:05:49.:05:57.

losses from January. In December we need to make more money to make up

:05:57.:06:02.

for a moment in January, but we have not been making that money.

:06:02.:06:07.

That is someone's wages that we are losing. I would say we have lost

:06:07.:06:15.

�1,000, two or 3 members' wages. We cannot carry on like that. Fears of

:06:15.:06:18.

being caught up in trouble are changing spending habits, making

:06:18.:06:22.

shoppers more focused. It appears people are not spending as much

:06:23.:06:26.

time in the city centre when they are not shopping, and are not

:06:26.:06:30.

staying so late in the evenings. When they shop, they are targeting

:06:30.:06:36.

specific items, so it is less casual and spontaneous. The revenue

:06:36.:06:40.

lost to Belfast is not all being spent in towns and shopping centres

:06:40.:06:43.

elsewhere. In fact, some of it could be leaving Northern Ireland

:06:43.:06:48.

altogether. The other thing that is happening, it is becoming more

:06:48.:06:53.

obvious, this year there is more mail order by the internet, and I

:06:53.:06:55.

think these protests have encouraged people to experiment

:06:55.:07:00.

with the internet. And with people becoming reluctant to go out, pubs

:07:00.:07:05.

say there trade is down some 20%. We cannot afford a hit like this.

:07:05.:07:10.

The issue is not for us to comment on, but the impact is and we need a

:07:10.:07:17.

quick resolution. The busy city centre streets today masked the

:07:17.:07:21.

concerns of many Belfast traders. They can only hope for a last

:07:21.:07:24.

minute change in fortunes. But with only seven shopping days left until

:07:24.:07:32.

Christmas, time is running out. Almost 40 people have lost their

:07:32.:07:34.

jobs at a Belfast engineering firm. FIN Engineering was based on

:07:35.:07:38.

Saintfield Road in the south of the city. It was placed into

:07:38.:07:41.

administration earlier this month and has now ceased to trade with

:07:41.:07:46.

the loss of 37 jobs. The firm had been trading since 1990, providing

:07:46.:07:50.

specialist engineering services to the construction industry.

:07:50.:07:54.

You're watching BBC Newsline. Still to come on the programme:

:07:54.:08:04.
:08:04.:08:06.

No cheer for Derry pub owners at A former director of NI Water who

:08:06.:08:09.

was libelled by Sinn Fein has been awarded �80,000 in damages. Declan

:08:09.:08:13.

Gormley sued the party because of what had been written in two press

:08:13.:08:23.
:08:23.:08:27.

releases. Julie McCullough reports. Declan Gormley left court today

:08:27.:08:31.

�80,000 richer. But the businessman said it was never about the money,

:08:31.:08:36.

just about clearing his good name. I am immensely relieved, pleased,

:08:36.:08:40.

delighted. It is a complete vindication of the position I have

:08:40.:08:43.

held, and that think, more importantly, that award which was

:08:43.:08:48.

given to me by the ordinary men and women of the jury reflects how

:08:48.:08:52.

badly they felt I have been treated Iraq this process so I've regarded

:08:52.:08:57.

as a complete vindication of the position I have held. Mr Gormley

:08:57.:09:02.

had been one of four non-executive directors at NI Water who were all

:09:02.:09:06.

sacked in 2010 by depend regional development minister, Mafi. He

:09:06.:09:12.

claimed he was later defamed by Sinn Fein -- the develop the

:09:12.:09:17.

minister, Murphy. He claimed he was defamed in a press release that

:09:17.:09:20.

supported his dismissal. Following a ten-day hearing at Belfast High

:09:20.:09:25.

Court, the jury found in his favour. Today, the jury had one more job to

:09:25.:09:29.

do and that was to decide how much compensation Declan Gormley should

:09:29.:09:36.

be paid. After considering for just 25 minutes, they settled on �80,000.

:09:36.:09:41.

But the judge also directed that Sinn Fein should pay legal costs,

:09:41.:09:45.

which will end up costing the party even more, because that some is

:09:45.:09:51.

said to be running into six figures. A 44-year-old Londonderry man who

:09:51.:09:57.

admitted a car bomb attack has been sentenced to 13 years in jail.

:09:57.:09:59.

Philip O'Donnell, of Baldrick Crescent, pleaded guilty to causing

:09:59.:10:02.

an explosion likely to endanger life outside the city's Strand Road

:10:02.:10:09.

Police Station. He also admitted other charges, including hijacking.

:10:09.:10:12.

No-one was injured in the attack in August 2010, but substantial damage

:10:12.:10:22.
:10:22.:10:22.

was caused to the city centre. The family of a man shot dead in

:10:22.:10:26.

1970 to save a report by the Historical Enquiries Team reveals

:10:26.:10:30.

significant new information about his murder. Lewry Leonard, a member

:10:31.:10:39.

of the IRA, was shot by loyalists in his shop.

:10:39.:10:43.

Lily Leonard was lurk -- was working late in his butcher shop

:10:43.:10:47.

when he was shot dead and his body dumped in a fridge. He was active

:10:47.:10:51.

in the south Fermanagh brigade of the IRA and his family suspect he

:10:51.:10:56.

was targeted by loyalists as a result of sheep -- of security

:10:56.:11:00.

force collusion. Today they released findings of the report

:11:00.:11:05.

that says he was almost certainly killed were two loyalists from

:11:05.:11:15.
:11:15.:11:21.

Belfast. Two strangers from Belfast drove to a sleepy village in

:11:21.:11:25.

December 1972, he was definitely targeted. Were you aware he was in

:11:25.:11:31.

the IRA at the time of his death? It was not something that was

:11:31.:11:35.

discussed, really. It was a difficult time. While there is no

:11:35.:11:41.

proof of collusion, the ADT has found significant failings in the

:11:41.:11:45.

investigation. It describes the loyalist as high priority suspects

:11:45.:11:49.

but they were never arrested, even though four bullets were found in a

:11:49.:11:55.

hire car when it was returned after the murder. The Leonard family save

:11:55.:11:59.

the RUC turned a blind eye and that even the most basic of

:11:59.:12:04.

investigations could have prevented another killing. Mr Leonard's

:12:04.:12:07.

family believe the failure to arrest and question the two

:12:07.:12:12.

suspects meant they were free to kill again. The following year,

:12:12.:12:15.

intelligence suggests they were also responsible for the murder of

:12:15.:12:22.

Jim Murphy. We simply want the truth to come out, because there

:12:22.:12:27.

has been a shadow over this murder for so long. The family say they

:12:27.:12:31.

now need time to consider all of the new information they have been

:12:31.:12:34.

given. An inspection report on Maghaberry

:12:34.:12:39.

prison says standards are better, but still not good enough. The

:12:39.:12:41.

latest assessment lists continuing concern about the safety of

:12:41.:12:44.

prisoners and the way they are treated, with Catholics being

:12:44.:12:49.

treated less favourably than Protestant inmates. The Prison

:12:49.:12:52.

Service says it is confident the problems can be addressed. Our Home

:12:52.:12:59.

Affairs correspondent Vincent Kearney reports.

:12:59.:13:03.

Three years ago, inspector said Maghaberry was one of the worst

:13:03.:13:07.

performing presence in the UK. A report published today says

:13:07.:13:13.

progress has been made, but much more is needed. Some progress, and

:13:13.:13:17.

I would pay tribute to the efforts that have been made by the Governor,

:13:17.:13:23.

and senior managers at Maghaberry. It is still not where it needs to

:13:23.:13:27.

be. Significant work still needs to be done to turn it into the sort of

:13:27.:13:32.

prison that we are expecting. Inspectors say the prison still

:13:32.:13:36.

does not provide a sufficiently safe environment for those held

:13:36.:13:41.

there. They point out there is no effective strategy to tackle the

:13:41.:13:45.

problem of bullying. The report says there means to be more

:13:45.:13:50.

activities for prisoners, half of whom spent -- spend up to 20 hours

:13:51.:13:54.

a day locked in their cells. It says there is an imbalance in the

:13:54.:13:58.

way that Catholic and Protestant prisoners are treated. Inspectors

:13:58.:14:02.

say Catholic prisoners have less access to work and education

:14:02.:14:06.

activities and are more likely to be punished for their behaviour and

:14:06.:14:10.

the refused home leave. Is the head of the Prison Service disappointed

:14:10.:14:17.

at the pace of progress? No, we are not disappointed because change of

:14:17.:14:21.

this type will inevitably be slower than we might hope, because it

:14:21.:14:27.

needs to be real change that can be met, so we are not disappointed, we

:14:27.:14:30.

are optimistic and we are clear about what needs to be done and we

:14:30.:14:35.

know we can do it. Today's report makes 93 recommendations for

:14:35.:14:39.

improvement. After a highly critical report three years ago,

:14:39.:14:43.

the Prison Service said it would be judged on its performance the next

:14:43.:14:47.

time inspectors came calling. Now they have done so, a lot more work

:14:47.:14:51.

remains to be done. Inspectors say they have been encouraged by what

:14:51.:14:55.

they describe as green shoots of recovery but they say does shoots

:14:55.:15:01.

are in the early stages and need lots of support to grow.

:15:01.:15:03.

Belfast had its row over the Christmas market and complaints

:15:03.:15:06.

that it did not have enough local vendors. Now, Londonderry's festive

:15:06.:15:10.

market is in the spotlight. In this case, local publicans are

:15:10.:15:14.

complaining that their trade is being hit. Here is our North-West

:15:14.:15:21.

reporter, Keiron Tourish. The continental market was

:15:21.:15:24.

established by council tip at some festive sparkle, but the decision

:15:24.:15:33.

to allow a temporary pub has caused controversy. publicans argued its

:15:33.:15:36.

has affected their trade. We are not against the market, it is a

:15:37.:15:41.

good thing for the city and hopefully will bring in more

:15:41.:15:50.

football, but in relation to that, in the last 21 days, we have had

:15:50.:15:54.

six pub should down in the last 18 months. The council has been unfair.

:15:54.:15:58.

The organisers insist the stalls will boost the economy.

:15:58.:16:02.

understand where they are coming from and I empathise with them,

:16:02.:16:05.

that I think if they bear with us they will see that the extra people

:16:05.:16:08.

that we bring into the City will compensate for whatever they

:16:08.:16:12.

thought we would take away from them. The same with the city

:16:12.:16:16.

shoppers, we will bring enough people into the city to make up for

:16:16.:16:20.

any... No-one is it to take trade from anyone else, the point is to

:16:20.:16:25.

bring more trade to the city. far, it seems shoppers have been

:16:25.:16:29.

impressed was stuck it is great to see, it adds to what is on offer

:16:29.:16:34.

for the City over Christmas. It is very, very pleasant to walk through

:16:34.:16:38.

and look at the different things for Christmas. It is gorgeous.

:16:38.:16:41.

think it is great to have something to come to in the town on a

:16:41.:16:45.

Saturday apart from the usual shops. The market is great. I know there

:16:45.:16:50.

has been a continental market in Belfast for years, it is good to

:16:50.:16:54.

see Derry organising this. It is wonderful. It is fantastic, the

:16:54.:16:57.

food and drink and atmosphere is fantastic, the best thing I have

:16:57.:17:02.

seen for a long time. The council says it has consulted over the

:17:02.:17:05.

licensing issue and believes that the pub opening hours were agreed.

:17:06.:17:10.

So far, the council says there has been a positive response to the

:17:10.:17:13.

Christmas market. Still to come on the programme

:17:13.:17:15.

before 7pm: Why the recovery of these

:17:15.:17:25.
:17:25.:17:30.

instruments is music to one man's It was not a good weekend for

:17:30.:17:37.

Ireland's would be teams. It is a where Terence, Ulster's

:17:37.:17:44.

four provinces all asked. Ulster lost to Northampton, lost

:17:44.:17:47.

their unbeaten record, and could well have lost one of their star

:17:47.:17:50.

players for a lengthy period. Tommy Bowe will undergo knee surgery next

:17:50.:17:53.

week after landing awkwardly during their European Cup game at

:17:53.:18:02.

Ravenhill. He is a major doubt for Ireland's Six Nations campaign.

:18:02.:18:10.

Thomas Kane reports. It was a side that no Ulster Irish

:18:10.:18:17.

rugby fan will have wanted to see. The Ravenhill crowd chanted Tommy

:18:17.:18:21.

Bowe's name as he was stretchered off the field. The severity of the

:18:21.:18:26.

injury was apparent almost straight away, as Tommy Bowe collapsed late

:18:26.:18:30.

in the game. It was a match in which Ulster had plenty of chances

:18:30.:18:40.

to win. It was never on target. often, though, uncharacteristic

:18:40.:18:46.

errors let the home side down. another handling error in attack by

:18:46.:18:54.

Ulster. We still created opportunities, try-scoring and

:18:54.:18:58.

penalties, and unfortunately we were not able to take them. We have

:18:58.:19:02.

won games in the past like that, and that is why it is disappointing.

:19:02.:19:08.

Two games to go, so if we cannot get the results, we will not

:19:08.:19:18.

qualify. We are still in control, it is about us lifting our levels a

:19:18.:19:21.

few notches to make sure we qualified.

:19:21.:19:25.

It is almost a month until the remaining games against Glasgow,

:19:25.:19:30.

but before that it is back to back derby games in the pro 12 against

:19:30.:19:35.

Munster and Leinster. They will bounce back with a win

:19:35.:19:41.

against Leicester, I am sure. -- against Leinster.

:19:41.:19:44.

This weekend's football action was all about the Reds. And by that I

:19:44.:19:47.

mean leaders Cliftonville, keeping up their relentless pace at the top

:19:47.:19:50.

of the table, and the cards being flourished at Shamrock Park. Denise

:19:50.:19:51.

Watson reports. Cliftonville kept the seven-point

:19:51.:19:56.

gap that the top of the table. Two first half goals from an unlikely

:19:56.:20:01.

source set them on bridge to a 3-1 win. The confidence is high so we

:20:01.:20:06.

go into every game expecting to win, but we also have our feet on the

:20:06.:20:14.

ground. We know that one slip-up can change everything. We want to

:20:14.:20:22.

see where we are come January. Crusaders remain a distant second

:20:22.:20:29.

after a comfortable 3-1 home win. Coleraine are now up to 4th after

:20:29.:20:33.

their 2-1 victory over Donegal Celtic. The only other neighbours

:20:33.:20:41.

were Linfield, up to 5th -- the only other movers. But the most

:20:41.:20:47.

drama was at Shamrock Park. Portadown had two men sent off,

:20:47.:20:52.

including striker Darren Murray who had given the home side a 2-0 lead.

:20:52.:20:59.

The visitors turned the game around with four goals in reply. Faced a

:20:59.:21:09.
:21:09.:21:10.

third in the table. -- and they stay third.

:21:10.:21:13.

As well as paying tribute to sport's big winners in 2012, the

:21:13.:21:16.

BBC Sports Personality of the Year programme last night remembered the

:21:16.:21:19.

sportsmen and women who have passed away in the last 12 months. Among

:21:19.:21:29.
:21:29.:21:30.

them, the Kerry Gaelic footballer Paidi O'Se, who died suddenly at

:21:30.:21:37.

the weekend. In the 1970s and 80s, there was

:21:37.:21:47.
:21:47.:21:56.

regard for Paidi O'Se and Kerry. He Today, in Belfast, Ulster's
