:00:21. > :00:25.Good evening. The headlines on BBC Newsline. A bomb close to a police
:00:26. > :00:29.officer's home in Omagh - it's described as crude but viable. A
:00:29. > :00:33.burned-out car in South Armagh - a possible link to the murder of a
:00:33. > :00:39.Garda detective. Not in Northern Ireland - nationalists block a new

:00:45. > :00:53.in a slurry pit - a sister gives evidence at the inquest. Also on

:01:18. > :01:23.Detectives are still trying to establish who left a pipebomb close
:01:23. > :01:26.to the home of a police officer in Omagh on Friday. It's thought
:01:26. > :01:28.dissident republicans are just one of their lines of inquiry. The bomb
:01:28. > :01:33.was discovered after the officer, who saw two people acting
:01:33. > :01:39.suspiciously, fired a shot at his house on Kevlin Road. Julian Fowler
:01:39. > :01:47.reports from Omagh. A quiet residential area of Omagh on a wet
:01:47. > :01:50.Monday morning. Little appeared out of the ordinary today. But the
:01:50. > :01:53.events of the weekend have sent shockwaves through this community.
:01:53. > :01:56.On Friday night a police officer fired shots during an incident at
:01:56. > :01:59.his home. It has been reported that the officer saw two men acting
:01:59. > :02:02.suspiciously at the back of his house. During follow-up searches on
:02:02. > :02:08.Saturday a pipebomb, described by the police as a crude viable
:02:08. > :02:15.explosive device, was found close to the house. Neighbours were
:02:16. > :02:20.evacuated while it was made safe. It is understood the officer was no
:02:20. > :02:26.longer living in the house but had returned to carry out repairs. That
:02:26. > :02:30.has led to concerns that he was being specifically targeted. I was
:02:30. > :02:36.considering perhaps returning to that house and the situation was he
:02:36. > :02:38.was in that house in September and somebody was targeting him.
:02:38. > :02:41.police have not released any details about what happened. But
:02:41. > :02:44.they have appealed for anyone who saw suspicious activity in the
:02:44. > :02:47.Kevlin Road area between 8:00pm and midnight on Friday night to contact
:02:47. > :02:52.them. It is understood detectives are keeping an open mind about who
:02:52. > :02:58.may have been responsible. Dissident republicans are thought
:02:58. > :03:00.to be just one of a number of lines of inquiry. Gardai suspect a cross-
:03:00. > :03:05.border gang was involved in killing Detective Adrian Donohoe in County
:03:06. > :03:09.Louth on Friday. A burnt-out car which they may have used is being
:03:09. > :03:12.examined near Keady in South Armagh. Detective Donohoe was shot in the
:03:12. > :03:15.head as he and a colleague waited to escort a cash delivery from a
:03:15. > :03:25.Credit Union at Bellurgan near Dundalk. Gordon Adair has the
:03:25. > :03:27.
:03:27. > :03:30.latest on the murder investigation. Is this remote forest were a gang
:03:31. > :03:37.of killers fled to on Friday evening? The police think so and
:03:37. > :03:45.that this was the getaway car. It is too early to say just who made
:03:45. > :03:51.up this kind. Idea out on to prejudge but this is an act by a
:03:51. > :03:55.group of criminal terrorists flying the tricolour for convenience or is
:03:55. > :04:01.this a group of organised or disorganised criminals hell-bent on
:04:01. > :04:05.financial gain. Thus more credit union is probably something like
:04:05. > :04:09.half a mile further down this road and I have just driven from it and
:04:09. > :04:14.on either side of the road you can see whether hedges had been pulled
:04:14. > :04:21.out by Garda search teams hunting for clues. We know a little more
:04:21. > :04:26.about what happened on Friday night. It seems detective will Donna Hay
:04:26. > :04:30.and his colleague were collecting cash. When they arrived at the
:04:30. > :04:33.Credit Union, the answer to the car-park was blocked by a vehicle.
:04:33. > :04:38.Detective Donoghoe got out to see what was happening and without
:04:38. > :04:43.warning, was shot in the head. We know that the gang was at least
:04:43. > :04:46.five strong and they were armed with a shotgun, had gone, hammers
:04:46. > :04:52.and were masked and wearing tracksuits. It is understood the
:04:52. > :04:59.gang escaped with something like 4000 Euro but left behind as much
:04:59. > :05:04.as 40,000. Today, the detective, a member of his local GAA club, was
:05:04. > :05:10.hailed as a hero who died protecting neighbours. He could not
:05:10. > :05:15.even describe it. It has been like this since the news broke on Friday.
:05:15. > :05:20.It is just... There are no worse. There never will be. Adrian one
:05:20. > :05:24.never be forgotten her. Trying to come to terms with it. You have
:05:24. > :05:30.children that he coached and mentored and you're trying to tell
:05:30. > :05:34.the child what is going on when you don't understand yourself. We will
:05:34. > :05:40.remember him, we will have fond memories of him and what he did
:05:40. > :05:49.with his precious time. The this evening, Gardai are expected to
:05:49. > :05:52.interview his colleague and staff from the Credit Union. A new
:05:52. > :05:56.policing agency described as the British FBI won't be able to
:05:56. > :05:59.operate in Northern Ireland in the same way as the rest of the UK.
:05:59. > :06:02.Sinn Fein and the SDLP have blocked a move to give the National Crime
:06:02. > :06:04.Agency the powers to carry out police operations and recruit
:06:04. > :06:14.agents. The Justice Minister says the move is a mistake. Vincent
:06:14. > :06:21.Kearney reports. Dutch police prepared to carry out a raid on a
:06:21. > :06:26.flat in Amsterdam. A man insiders British and local police are
:06:26. > :06:31.working with the British serious organised crime agency. That agency
:06:31. > :06:35.is being replaced with the more powerful new body, the National
:06:35. > :06:39.Crime Agency. Described as the British equivalent of the FBI, it
:06:39. > :06:45.will target gangs operating across local, national and international
:06:45. > :06:49.borders. Its head, Keith Bristow, is seen here with the Home
:06:49. > :06:54.Secretary. He will be directly accountable to her for the agency's
:06:54. > :06:59.actions. Not to the Chief Constable of the PSNI, the Policing Board or
:06:59. > :07:02.the Police Ombudsman. Many of the powers being given have been
:07:02. > :07:07.devolved to the Assembly, so it has to agree to give Westminster
:07:07. > :07:12.authority to exercise those powers. They include officers being given
:07:12. > :07:17.the powers of a police constable in Northern Ireland. The authority to
:07:17. > :07:22.carry out searches and make arrests and the ability to crew docked --
:07:22. > :07:26.conduct surveillance and recruit informers. The agency would also be
:07:26. > :07:30.responsible for recovering assets from criminals. But Sinn Fein and
:07:30. > :07:35.the SDLP have refused to support the move, which means the powers
:07:35. > :07:39.will not be extended to Northern Ireland. Justice Minister David
:07:39. > :07:44.Ford says he believes blocking the legislation is a mistake that could
:07:44. > :07:48.have serious implications for the police. There is a real danger that
:07:48. > :07:52.if this does not go ahead, there will be a significant cost to the
:07:52. > :07:56.police and terms of time and finances and we will have an
:07:56. > :08:00.inferior response to the serious crime that we face. Sinn Fein says
:08:00. > :08:04.approving legislation would undermine devolved policing and
:08:04. > :08:09.justice powers. But the DUP has accused the party of playing
:08:09. > :08:15.politics with policing. National Crime Agency was set up to
:08:15. > :08:19.do with pornography, sex crimes, the transit of prostitutes, the
:08:19. > :08:23.transit of illegal fuel, to deal with international aid based
:08:23. > :08:29.criminality. Why would anyone want to be on the wrong side of that
:08:29. > :08:33.argument and stop Corporation across this island? It is right to
:08:33. > :08:38.block this because we have gone through arduous my decisions to
:08:38. > :08:43.have Policing and Justice powers devolved here. Westminster are
:08:43. > :08:48.trying to take his powers away now, when what we want is to assert the
:08:48. > :08:51.primacy of the Executive and assembly. The police are understood
:08:51. > :08:56.to share the concerns of David Ford about the implications of this
:08:56. > :08:59.decision. The PSNI has warned repeatedly that Northern Ireland is
:08:59. > :09:04.increasingly being targeted by international crime gangs operating
:09:04. > :09:08.on a global scale. Police co- operation with the NCA, they
:09:08. > :09:11.believe, is essential to combat those activities. An inquest has
:09:11. > :09:13.been told of the desperate attempts made to save three members of the
:09:13. > :09:17.Spence family who died in an underground slurry pit last
:09:17. > :09:23.September. The father and two sons were killed after one of them tried
:09:23. > :09:25.to rescue a dog on their farm near Hillsborough. A sister of the
:09:25. > :09:29.brothers has been giving evidence at today's hearing, as Claire
:09:29. > :09:31.Savage reports. On that fateful Saturday evening on the 15th of
:09:31. > :09:37.September, just after 6:00pm, farmer Noel Spence, who had been
:09:37. > :09:40.spreading slurry that day, said a dog had gone into the slurry tank.
:09:40. > :09:47.His eldest son, Graham, went down a ladder, through a manhole into the
:09:47. > :09:50.pit, which was four foot deep in slurry. He briefly called for the
:09:50. > :09:59.dog, an old Collie called Jill, and as he went back up the ladder, near
:09:59. > :10:02.the top, he lost consciousness and fell into the tank. Nevin went in
:10:02. > :10:07.after him and was also succumbed by the slurry fumes. Noel tried to
:10:07. > :10:10.save his two sons but he same fate befell him. The emergency services
:10:10. > :10:16.were called and friends, neighbours and family members, including
:10:16. > :10:20.Noel's wife, Essie, all tried to get the men out of the tank. Emma
:10:20. > :10:23.then went into the pit and managed to pull her father out. She then
:10:23. > :10:27.went back in and passed out holding onto her brother, Graham. A
:10:27. > :10:33.neighbour rescued her. Noel and Nevin were pronounced dead at the
:10:33. > :10:41.scene and Graham at the hospital. After Emma's statement was read out,
:10:41. > :10:45.the coroner, John Leckey, asked her how her health was. She said she
:10:45. > :10:48.suffered pains but as her father used to say, they are far from her
:10:48. > :10:51.heart. He asked her did she realise how dangerous her actions were. She
:10:51. > :10:54.replied yes. But when it comes to the love of your family. Emma's mum,
:10:54. > :10:56.Ismy, sister, Laura, and Graham's wife, Andrea, were there for the
:10:57. > :11:02.hearing, which also heard evidence from members of the emergency
:11:02. > :11:12.services. Mr Leckey commended all those who tried to help save the
:11:12. > :11:12.
:11:12. > :11:19.men for their bravery. The inquest is due to finish tomorrow. Lots
:11:19. > :11:24.more to come on BBC Newsline this evening. A report from Ballymena...
:11:24. > :11:28.The red carpet has been rolled out in Ballymena for the visit of the
:11:28. > :11:34.town's most famous son. I will have all the details on this very
:11:34. > :11:40.special award later. It will soon be a decade since disability
:11:40. > :11:43.legislation came into force. But it appears it has failed to deliver
:11:43. > :11:45.all that was hoped for. While new buildings must incorporate
:11:45. > :11:52.wheelchair access, there are still many areas where people with a
:11:52. > :12:01.disability face great difficulties. Mervyn Jess has met a man in County
:12:01. > :12:06.Down trying to deal with something that for others is routine. Nobody
:12:06. > :12:11.likes going out in the wind and rain. But Michael Hohnen has little
:12:11. > :12:15.choice. He needs to lodge money in his local bank. But it's not that
:12:15. > :12:20.simple. Michael suffers from motor neurone disease and needs a
:12:20. > :12:25.wheelchair to get about. I would like to visit the branch today so I

:13:28. > :13:31.disability did not think it was OK to come out the back door past the

:14:24. > :14:26.walls overlooking the Bogside. Sinn Fein claim dissident republicans
:14:26. > :14:31.threatened the workers. They've called on those responsible to
:14:31. > :14:34.explain their actions to the wider community. The actor Stephen Rea
:14:34. > :14:39.has carried the coffin of his ex- wife, Dolours Price, at her funeral
:14:39. > :14:44.in West Belfast. Price, who was jailed for her part in the IRA
:14:44. > :14:47.bombing of the Old Bailey in 1973, died on Wednesday. The police have
:14:47. > :14:53.been involved in a legal process in the United States to seize

:15:03. > :15:09.on the programme we introduced you to David Haddock, who has had seven
:15:09. > :15:12.operations cancelled in seven months. When he was a child, a
:15:12. > :15:16.house fire which killed his mother and grandmother left the Belfast
:15:16. > :15:20.man severely burned. He also has learning difficulties. There were
:15:20. > :15:30.developments after his story was broadcast on Newsline. Marie-Louise
:15:30. > :15:34.Connolly has the update. David Haddock's hospital bag has been
:15:34. > :15:37.packed and ready to go since August. But since then his operation has
:15:37. > :15:41.been cancelled seven times after more urgent cases were given his
:15:41. > :15:51.hospital bed. But after the BBC broadcast his story on Thursday,
:15:51. > :15:53.
:15:53. > :16:03.the following day the operation was rescheduled for a week's time.
:16:03. > :16:06.
:16:06. > :16:08.was good news. I had a phone call Last week the family revealed
:16:08. > :16:17.numerous letters from the Belfast Trust which scheduled operations
:16:17. > :16:21.and were later cancelled. David has had a hard time. When he was three
:16:21. > :16:23.years old he was involved in a house fire which killed his mum,
:16:23. > :16:26.granny and left him severely burned and disfigured. As well as
:16:26. > :16:35.reshaping his face, he's hoping the operation will ease some of his
:16:36. > :16:38.pain. My nose and my lips and my cheek. While some members of the
:16:38. > :16:47.family welcome the news, others remain sceptical that it will
:16:47. > :16:51.actually go ahead on Thursday. though the hospital has reassured
:16:51. > :16:55.may that this isn't going to happen because this was ordered by the
:16:55. > :16:58.management, I still have the back of my mind that the call welcome.
:16:58. > :17:00.While the Health Board says the number of operations cancelled last
:17:00. > :17:03.year represents around 1.4% of all operations performed here,
:17:03. > :17:05.according to David's family, no one, let alone someone with learning
:17:05. > :17:15.difficulties, should have to experience that disappointment
:17:15. > :17:15.
:17:15. > :17:19.seven times. We'll let you know how David gets on. Now to Liam Neeson,
:17:19. > :17:24.a man used to receiving international movie awards. Today
:17:24. > :17:29.he received an unusual honour. I don't know if he has any sheep but
:17:29. > :17:32.he's now allowed to drive a flock through his hometown of Ballymena.
:17:32. > :17:37.It's one of the privileges bestowed on him today along with the freedom
:17:37. > :17:39.of the town. And, as you would expect with a Hollywood star, there
:17:39. > :17:46.was plenty of flash photography at the ceremony. Our reporter Natasha
:17:46. > :17:51.Sayee was there for BBC Newsline. The centre is buzzing at the town's
:17:51. > :17:57.most famous son celebrates his award. He says he is privileged and
:17:57. > :18:00.will always be mad to 9.9% Ballymena. That comment will have
:18:01. > :18:06.thrilled the hundreds of fans who gathered outside in the cold to
:18:06. > :18:11.catch a glimpse of the actor known fondly as the big man. They queued
:18:11. > :18:17.from early this morning to see that Ballymena boy turned superstar.
:18:17. > :18:23.This is a chance to get to see him. We have been in Ballymena sense 8
:18:23. > :18:31.o'clock in the morning. We would have been here no match of the
:18:31. > :18:37.weather. The Oscar nominee known best for his roles as Oscar show
:18:37. > :18:42.under, Rob Roy and the action hero in the taken movies has inspired

:18:46. > :18:50.naturalism he brings to characters and high real he can get into the
:18:51. > :18:57.character, you know the difference between him and the actor -- and
:18:57. > :19:03.the character. He came from such a small town and to become so just --
:19:03. > :19:06.such a big star, that is amazing. A-day and celebration and the
:19:06. > :19:11.stature as Liam Neeson received the accolade from his former bus at the
:19:11. > :19:15.Guinness factory where he wants worked. Another wonderful day for
:19:15. > :19:21.Ballymena, one that has focused the eyes of the world's media on us for
:19:21. > :19:26.the right reasons. We applaud too, be where she continued success and
:19:26. > :19:31.they will enjoy watching you grow from strength to strength and to
:19:31. > :19:35.quote a very well-known actor, may the Force be with you. Now a proud
:19:35. > :19:40.Freeman of the burner, he said he would use this to a bit to promote
:19:40. > :19:45.his home town. I am aware of the work the area has been doing.
:19:45. > :19:51.Coming out of the dark as, as we all have, and hopefully we have
:19:51. > :19:55.left that behind us. These are new days, New Times, and I am just
:19:55. > :20:00.privileged to receive this. In the past few weeks we have seen some
:20:01. > :20:06.pretty negative issues -- images of Northern Ireland. How do you feel?
:20:06. > :20:11.I have seen very little in the American press. The images I have
:20:11. > :20:20.seen, there are always a few cowboys and it seems to be very
:20:20. > :20:26.content. You know? The people of Northern Ireland's have voted 100%
:20:26. > :20:32.for pace and it is going to happen. What does it mean for the new free
:20:32. > :20:37.man to be born in Ballymena? In a very fundamental way, I have a work
:20:37. > :20:45.ethic that I got from Ballymena. From the people, from my teachers.
:20:45. > :20:47.PJ included. I am very proud of that. After accepting the award,
:20:47. > :20:52.the movie-star was treated to a special dinner which he enjoyed
:20:52. > :20:56.with local dignitaries, family and friends. As the celebrations wrap
:20:56. > :21:01.up, it is at clear Way and Liam Neeson a return home again. He has
:21:01. > :21:05.said he would like to go back to Belfast and tread the boards at the
:21:05. > :21:08.Lyric theatre. But as for the notion of them playing the big man
:21:08. > :21:13.in a movie? The actor has said he would think about it if he was

:26:16. > :26:21.through the rest of the week. The rain eases into a mixture of
:26:21. > :26:26.scattered showers. This evening, we are not done with the showers, some
:26:26. > :26:31.sharp ones around. Still quite windy as well. It will dry up
:26:31. > :26:38.tonight and the wind will these but enough to hold the temperatures at
:26:38. > :26:42.around four degrees so for many it is frost-free. Tomorrow, fatally a
:26:42. > :26:47.milder day but as I say, wet and windy and you would be very lucky
:26:47. > :26:53.to catch any glimpses of the sun rise in the morning. The cloud will
