:00:34. > :00:40.Newsline. Families of people killed by soldiers sue the Chief Constable

:00:40. > :00:44.over failings by the Historical Enquiries Team. 40 years on, police

:00:44. > :00:47.re-open their investigation into this teenager's death. The stories

:00:47. > :00:52.behind the statistics of the Childline calls - the latest in our

:00:52. > :00:57.series on people who turn their lives around. Police investigate the

:00:57. > :01:05.sudden deaths of two 25 years and going strong - just what's the

:01:05. > :01:09.appeal of the West Belfast Feile? People at The biggest talking point

:01:09. > :01:12.in Gaelic football this weekend was not on the pitch, it was in a

:01:12. > :01:16.television studio. Was Joe Brolly right or wrong? Today we have had

:01:16. > :01:23.the best of the UK's weather. The mix of sunshine and showers set to

:01:23. > :01:28.continue for the next few days. The police are investigating two

:01:28. > :01:32.sudden deaths in Fermanagh. Both happened in the village of

:01:32. > :01:42.Lisnaskea. Our reporter in the south-west, Julian Fowler, is live

:01:42. > :01:54.

:01:54. > :02:03.there this evening. A short time ago, the police released the names

:02:03. > :02:10.of the two young people who died. They were a 29-year-old mother of a

:02:10. > :02:14.young child originally from, Roy. The second was a 36-year-old.

:02:14. > :02:19.Although they share the same surname, it is not thought they were

:02:20. > :02:26.related. It is not yet clear if the two deaths are related in any way.

:02:26. > :02:29.Bolivia was found yesterday evening in a house she was visiting. The

:02:29. > :02:33.post-mortem examination has now been carried out and her remains have

:02:33. > :02:43.been released back to the families. Shortly after midday, a second

:02:43. > :02:43.

:02:43. > :02:47.sudden death was reported to police about a mile away. I visited the

:02:47. > :02:57.scene there a short time ago. The family were there and obviously very

:02:57. > :03:03.upset and shocked. Very sudden deaths, anyway that these deaths are

:03:03. > :03:07.linked or caused for both deaths as Mike it is still too early to say.

:03:07. > :03:12.Police say they are investigations are at an early stage but all lines

:03:12. > :03:17.of enquiry are being followed. It is not clear if the deaths are linked

:03:17. > :03:21.or just a tragic coincidence. We don't know yet if drugs played a

:03:21. > :03:27.role but that is certainly one line of enquiry that the police are

:03:27. > :03:29.pursuing. It is obviously very shocking and distressing for the

:03:29. > :03:35.families involved. Politicians from all on the parties here have

:03:35. > :03:38.released statements, expressing their shock and sadness at this

:03:38. > :03:42.tragic loss of life and saying their thoughts are with the families at

:03:42. > :03:45.this time. The families of 20 people killed by

:03:45. > :03:47.soldiers during the Troubles are suing the Chief Constable after an

:03:47. > :03:55.inspection report said the Historical Enquiries Team failed to

:03:55. > :03:58.investigate the deaths properly. The leading oversight body for UK

:03:58. > :04:08.policy, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary, last month said the

:04:08. > :04:12.

:04:12. > :04:18.HET's approach to killings by soldiers was illegal.

:04:18. > :04:21.Soldiers killed around 300 people during the troubles. Investigations

:04:21. > :04:25.by the Historical Enquiries Team into the circumstances of death

:04:25. > :04:29.caused by the military were suspended last month after an

:04:30. > :04:37.inspection report strongly criticised its approach. Her Majesty

:04:37. > :04:43.'s Inspectorate of Constabulary said they were being investigated less

:04:43. > :04:47.rigourously and breached government 's regulations on human right.

:04:47. > :04:50.of the things we were very surprised about is not that this was a breach

:04:50. > :04:58.in practice, in other words that people were airing from the policy.

:04:58. > :05:02.This was said in the policy wrongly. In October 1970 one, two

:05:02. > :05:07.sisters who were members of the IRA were shot dead by soldiers on the

:05:07. > :05:11.Falls Road in west Belfast. They were not armed wing shot in the back

:05:11. > :05:17.of a car. One of them was this lady, a 30-year-old mother of four.

:05:17. > :05:21.Her daughter asked the HET to investigate. A few years ago, she

:05:21. > :05:30.was told the review was completed but has still not received details

:05:30. > :05:40.of the findings. She attended a meeting in Belfast when the verdict

:05:40. > :05:40.

:05:40. > :05:44.was released. I honestly just wanted to cry. It is heartbreaking. But

:05:44. > :05:53.they have put the families through this and now we have to go through

:05:53. > :05:59.it all again. Her family is now one of 20 suing the Chief Constable.

:05:59. > :06:05.is just not fair. We are entitled to justice and to know the truth about

:06:05. > :06:11.what happened. A campaign group working with relatives of people

:06:11. > :06:17.killed by soldiers says it believes more may join the legal action.

:06:17. > :06:20.PSNI went to Europe and promised the ministers that they would put in

:06:20. > :06:26.place a compliant investigative process that was independent to deal

:06:27. > :06:32.with British army killings but what they did is, they have lied and

:06:32. > :06:36.engaged in a cynical exercise, bringing the families into a process

:06:36. > :06:40.that was deemed to be illegal. A solicitor acting for the families

:06:40. > :06:46.said the action was being taken to hold the Chief Constable to a kind

:06:46. > :06:49.but the HET Bosman killings. In a statement, the PSNI said they had

:06:49. > :06:55.not received notification of any legal proceedings. It pointed out

:06:55. > :07:00.that cases involving soldiers are to be re-examined in line with the

:07:00. > :07:04.investigation manual. A man is in a critical condition in

:07:04. > :07:09.hospital following an assault in Omagh. The attack took place in John

:07:09. > :07:13.Street at around 8:00 last night. Three people have been arrested.

:07:13. > :07:18.A man has been arrested by gardai investigating the murder of a South

:07:18. > :07:24.Armagh man in 2007. Paul Quinn, who was 21 from Cullyhanna, was abducted

:07:24. > :07:30.and beaten at farm outbuildings in County Monaghan. The detained man is

:07:30. > :07:34.in his early 20s and was arrested in County Louth yesterday morning.

:07:34. > :07:38.The investigation into the murder of a young woman in County Tyrone 40

:07:38. > :07:42.years ago has been reopened. Her body was found at the bottom of a

:07:42. > :07:51.quarry after a night out in Aughnacloy. Police say they have new

:07:51. > :07:57.lines of enquiry. This lady was just 18 years old when

:07:57. > :08:01.she was fined murdered in 1973. She had spent the evening at a charity

:08:01. > :08:06.dance in Aughnacloy on the 30th of March. She was seen leaving the

:08:06. > :08:11.venue with a young man just after 1am. Five hours later, her body was

:08:11. > :08:19.found short distance away in a quarry, partially clothed. What

:08:19. > :08:24.happened when they reached the end of the quarry? The signs point to

:08:24. > :08:29.the fact that she fell to her death. It was likely that she was either

:08:30. > :08:33.dead or dying when she reached the bottom. Days afterwards, police said

:08:33. > :08:39.they had a good response to appeals for information about 40 years on,

:08:39. > :08:43.the killer has not yet been caught. She arrived just after 9:00 and was

:08:43. > :08:51.observed at around one in the morning outside in the company of a

:08:51. > :08:57.meal. I need to identify who that meal is. She was also seen walking

:08:57. > :09:00.along the road towards a car park at the quarry. This is a well-known

:09:00. > :09:04.area for courting couples and I believe that is where they were

:09:04. > :09:11.going to. The area has obviously changed in the last 40 years and

:09:11. > :09:18.what used to be the quarry is now a landfill site. I DUP Councillor in

:09:18. > :09:24.the area still remembers the killing 12. My fear is that the family are

:09:24. > :09:31.going to be disappointed with old saw as being opened again and their

:09:31. > :09:35.hopes raised and disappointment at the end of it. Is successful and

:09:35. > :09:40.someone is brought to justice, it will remove from the community and

:09:40. > :09:45.murder. Detectives want to speak to anyone who remembers seeing someone

:09:45. > :09:48.with dust and dirt on their clothes following the death.

:09:48. > :09:53.We heard recently on the programme about the volunteers at Childline

:09:53. > :09:58.who take 10,000 calls a month in Belfast alone. This evening, someone

:09:58. > :10:02.who phoned the charity tells us how that contact saved her life. Tara

:10:02. > :10:12.Mills met the young woman who explained what was going on in her

:10:12. > :10:12.

:10:12. > :10:16.life at the time. I was experiencing a lot of

:10:16. > :10:22.difficult things at home. I had grown up with domestic violence, I

:10:22. > :10:29.had an eating disorder, I self harmed, my family pet had just died

:10:30. > :10:34.and my mum had been diagnosed with cancer. I felt lost and scared.

:10:34. > :10:38.most of us, it is hard to understand how a child could feel so alone but

:10:38. > :10:46.sadly, stories like this one are all in a days work for the Childline

:10:46. > :10:50.volunteers. Thankfully, the help and support they offer is invaluable.

:10:50. > :10:59.Even in times of crisis, when this young woman took an overdose,

:10:59. > :11:03.Childline called the authorities. hated them for breaking my

:11:03. > :11:12.confidentiality but at the same time, it should be that they cared

:11:12. > :11:16.and wanted to help me. What do you think about what they did now?

:11:16. > :11:23.could say thank you to the person who did it, I would. I'm any respect

:11:23. > :11:29.them for doing that. It just gave me confidence that I would recommend

:11:29. > :11:34.them to people because they really do care. The confidentiality of

:11:34. > :11:38.Childline is paramount but so, too, is the safety of their collars and

:11:38. > :11:44.bringing in emergency services doesn't just save lives. It can also

:11:44. > :11:50.highlight it to the family. It can help the family realise the extent

:11:50. > :11:56.of those emotions. They can then, hopefully, react to that and provide

:11:56. > :12:06.some support. The statistics are startling, children as young as five

:12:06. > :12:10.

:12:10. > :12:20.have been known to come and call. Coming up on the programme, find out

:12:20. > :12:30.why our reporter got all hot and bothered. That was tough going. I

:12:30. > :12:33.

:12:33. > :12:36.was it for you? Was a difficult? Yes. Very difficult for me as well.

:12:37. > :12:39.The Feile an Phobail in West Belfast has reached a milestone in its

:12:39. > :12:44.history, a quarter of a century of entertainment and political

:12:44. > :12:48.discussion. It originally began as a ploy to divert local people from

:12:48. > :12:51.street protests towards community events. Our arts correspondent

:12:51. > :12:59.Maggie Taggart has covered many of the highlights over the years and

:12:59. > :13:05.her report looks at the past and present.

:13:05. > :13:14.I remember well the day when I met a girl band at the moment, atomic

:13:14. > :13:20.Kitten. Not to mention the uproar in 2003 with girls aloud. The first

:13:20. > :13:23.programme in 1988 was a humble affair. It featured a period of

:13:23. > :13:29.swimming gala and snicker. Now, the thick programme reflects its status

:13:29. > :13:33.as a huge event with government funding. It all grew from the need

:13:33. > :13:38.to take attention away from West Belfast 's the image in those

:13:38. > :13:42.troubled days. We chose the date around the 9th of August because

:13:42. > :13:52.traditionally, that was the anniversary of internment and people

:13:52. > :13:53.

:13:53. > :13:55.would come out. The thriving festival has been a mix of popular

:13:55. > :14:02.culture and visual arts but it has not been afraid to be

:14:02. > :14:07.controversial. The festival has grown in size and reputation over

:14:07. > :14:11.the last 25 years. Despite the presence of bands like girls aloud,

:14:11. > :14:21.it still retains a highly politicised element for those who

:14:21. > :14:25.

:14:25. > :14:31.want that. The political attitudes in West Belfast informs the culture

:14:31. > :14:36.of the events and that distinguishes it from the festival at Queens or

:14:36. > :14:46.any other festival in Ireland. anniversary year has its own

:14:46. > :14:46.

:14:46. > :14:51.highlights with faithless on Friday, carnival parade and Jordan O'Keeffe.

:14:51. > :14:54.The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is coming back to Londonderry.

:14:54. > :14:57.The event was hailed as an outstanding success last year with

:14:57. > :15:00.more than 100,000 people attending the ten-day festival. It is the

:15:00. > :15:04.world's longest ocean race, sailing 40,000 miles and taking in six

:15:04. > :15:11.continents. It is costing Derry City Council over �1 million but the

:15:11. > :15:16.Mayor insists it will be money well spent.

:15:17. > :15:23.After the hugely successful stopover last year, the Clipper Round the

:15:23. > :15:28.World Yacht Race is coming back twice in 2014 and 2016. Why are you

:15:28. > :15:31.back again? We are back because it was such a successful visit last

:15:31. > :15:38.time. Everybody loved it and it went very well because the city got

:15:38. > :15:45.behind it and make it work. I hugely challenging race? 40,000 miles

:15:45. > :15:54.across all the oceans of the world is tough but these are amateurs.

:15:54. > :16:00.can you justify the financial outlay because it is quite costly? It is

:16:00. > :16:03.costly but last year 's event brought in over �3 million so it

:16:03. > :16:12.stacks up financially and is a great way for the city to showcase itself

:16:12. > :16:17.to the wider community. The boat taking part will be called the Derry

:16:17. > :16:21.Londonderry and there are still cases for you to sign up!

:16:21. > :16:24.Rather you and me! Still to come: Thomas Kane reports

:16:24. > :16:29.on the contentious tackle in the All Ireland quarterfinals that is the

:16:29. > :16:32.talk of the GAA. Commentator Joe Brolly has had his

:16:32. > :16:40.say. I will be speaking live to a three-time winner who thinks Tyrone

:16:41. > :16:44.were clinical, not cynical. One of the most physically demanding

:16:44. > :16:48.events in the World Police and Fire Games is the stair race.

:16:48. > :16:51.Firefighters in full uniform run upstairs against the clock. One of

:16:51. > :17:00.the competitors who took place in the event yesterday was treated for

:17:01. > :17:10.heat exhaustion. Our reporter Helen Jones went along to the event which

:17:11. > :17:11.

:17:11. > :17:16.was closed to the public. Running up a few stairs, they say,

:17:17. > :17:24.how difficult can it be? Derry. It was in the tallest building in

:17:24. > :17:31.Northern Ireland. You will put on the set of her thigh woman and you

:17:31. > :17:37.will have a mask on and you have two go upstairs, 28 flights. That would

:17:37. > :17:43.take me all day, how long will it take you? I think just three or four

:17:43. > :17:50.minutes. A tough challenge considering you are carrying quite a

:17:50. > :17:57.few extra pounds. I'm just here to do my personal best. I get a medal,

:17:57. > :18:03.happy days but if not, I will enjoy myself. One competitor hopes to do

:18:03. > :18:12.it in under four minutes? I would hope to beat her! 105 competitors in

:18:12. > :18:20.so dear. Climbing 550 stairs. 27 stories. Some competitors are in

:18:20. > :18:28.their 50s. At the top of the building, helping hand. I can

:18:28. > :18:35.confidently say I did my best. I am happy with that. He did it in three

:18:35. > :18:41.minutes, 16 seconds. The fastest was two minutes, 45 seconds. A chance to

:18:41. > :18:48.cool down. It is challenging. That was tough going. Hi what was it for

:18:48. > :18:57.you, was a difficult? Yes, difficult. It was very difficult for

:18:57. > :19:04.me as well! Donegal's reign as All Ireland

:19:04. > :19:07.Champions is over but that isn't what everyone is talking about.

:19:07. > :19:10.Most big matches produced talking points, but the one which captured

:19:10. > :19:13.most attention at the weekend centred on the comments of the

:19:13. > :19:16.former Derry Gaelic footballer, Joe Brolly. He was highly critical of

:19:16. > :19:20.the manner in which Tyrone beat Monaghan, describing their play as

:19:20. > :19:29.cynical and disgraceful. If you missed it, here is a flavour of what

:19:29. > :19:35.he said. People are saying things like, it is

:19:35. > :19:42.within the rules. It is not in the rules, it was a total disgrace.

:19:42. > :19:45.Nobody has stood up for Tyrone and I have in this studio when they were

:19:46. > :19:51.getting all sorts of abuse from you but I will not be standing up for

:19:52. > :19:58.that, that was an absolute disgrace. The black card is the only the start

:19:58. > :20:05.of an urgent process that is required. There is no sport, no

:20:05. > :20:08.other sport where that is permitted. It was an absolute disgrace. I want

:20:08. > :20:12.nothing to do with it. This is what Tyrone manager Mickey

:20:12. > :20:18.Harte had to say when it was put to him that his team's style of play

:20:18. > :20:22.was cynical. I would prefer that people look at

:20:22. > :20:25.the good parts in Gaelic football that exist today and the teams that

:20:25. > :20:31.played with great fervour and played within the rules as much as

:20:31. > :20:36.possible. There are going to be errors committed by both teams. When

:20:36. > :20:46.you used to see what was being committed and they were so many

:20:46. > :20:48.

:20:48. > :20:54.injuries, I am surprised. Let's go live now to Thomas Kane in

:20:54. > :20:59.south Belfast. To give you an idea of just how big

:20:59. > :21:02.an impact his comments made over the past couple of days, almost a

:21:02. > :21:06.quarter of a million people have already down loaded and watched it

:21:06. > :21:16.online. You have won three of Irelands with him, what was your

:21:16. > :21:20.reaction? Pure disbelief, I know Joe Brolly well and he is usually very

:21:20. > :21:26.entertaining but I felt yesterday, it seems as if he lost the plot and

:21:26. > :21:31.went completely over the top on a point that most of us would share

:21:31. > :21:37.with henna but the language he used was just not right for the

:21:37. > :21:44.circumstances. Was it to personal? It was to personal and to imply that

:21:44. > :21:51.Sean is not a man on public TV. He will not get the floor to speak to

:21:51. > :21:55.those people and correct that opinion. He was using words like

:21:55. > :22:01.disgusting about the people of Tyrone and that, to me, is very

:22:01. > :22:08.insulting. The incident itself, it was not the worst incident that took

:22:08. > :22:13.place. There was a player fouled the ball to stop it going over the goal

:22:13. > :22:17.and none of those were picked up so it does seem to be targeted abuse.

:22:17. > :22:23.Whether you agree with him or not, it is a debate that has to be had

:22:23. > :22:30.within GAA? Absolutely and shonky might yesterday and said he is in

:22:30. > :22:34.favour of the black card. It is long known that that particular file in

:22:34. > :22:39.Gaelic football has the right punishment but every team has

:22:39. > :22:43.suffered it and every team has gained from it and to suddenly go

:22:43. > :22:50.hot on it like yesterday, it seems unfair. Joe Brolly said it should

:22:50. > :23:00.not be taught towards children but this is a new thing -- is not a new

:23:00. > :23:01.

:23:01. > :23:06.thing in Gaelic? Again, in terms of the punishment fitting the crime, in

:23:06. > :23:11.soccer, they have the red Row. It still happens because when you have

:23:11. > :23:19.a competitive player, they are going to do everything to stop the goal.

:23:19. > :23:23.You don't see the teams than bustard like Tyrone was. It is a debate

:23:23. > :23:27.which will go on and on. There was success for two of our

:23:27. > :23:29.local motorcycle riders at the weekend. Eugene Laverty had two

:23:29. > :23:37.podium finishes at the world Superbike round at Silverstone.

:23:37. > :23:41.Jonathan Rea had the result of the day.

:23:41. > :23:46.Relief for Jonathan Rea. In a season without a victory, it all came good

:23:46. > :23:51.at his home ground. In a rain affected first race, the Ballyclare

:23:51. > :23:55.rider established a lead and never looked back. Tim Bridge boss Mike

:23:55. > :23:58.Eugene Laverty battled his way through the field to second place

:23:58. > :24:08.but Jonathan Rea cruised around the final corner to savour a win that

:24:08. > :24:10.

:24:10. > :24:18.meant more than most. So nice to get a win. It was starting to get
