:00:52. > :00:56.rugby. Ireland's coach warns players must get the balance right.

:00:56. > :01:00.And disappointingly dull today. We should see some brightness before

:01:00. > :01:01.the end of the week. I'll be back with your forecast later in the

:01:01. > :01:11.programme. A Dungannon woman accused of trying

:01:11. > :01:15.to smuggle cocaine out of Peru is expected to plead guilty shortly.

:01:15. > :01:18.to smuggle cocaine out of Peru is These are the latest pictures which

:01:18. > :01:21.have just come in. They show 20-year-old Michaella McCollum and

:01:22. > :01:27.her co-accused Melissa Reid, who is from Glasgow, being taken from

:01:27. > :01:31.prison to court. They were put on to a prison van to be taken the hour

:01:31. > :01:33.long journey to the courthouse. The pair were found to be carrying

:01:33. > :01:38.one-and-a-half million pounds' worth of cocaine when they were detained

:01:38. > :01:42.last month at the city's airport. We hope to bring you the latest on that

:01:42. > :01:42.court appearance live from Peru later

:01:42. > :01:56.The First Minister, Peter Robinson, has been asked to apologise to the

:01:56. > :01:59.family at the centre of a land sale row between the DUP and TUV.

:01:59. > :02:02.Yesterday, Peter Robinson accused the TUV leader Jim Allister of being

:02:02. > :02:06.prepared to do business with Republicans over the land deal. Now

:02:06. > :02:08.a member of the Fermanagh family involved has accused the DUP leader

:02:08. > :02:15.of "besmirching" his wider family. Here is our political reporter,

:02:15. > :02:18.Stephen Walker. Under the gaze of a former first

:02:18. > :02:24.Minister, today 's political chatter at Stormont was dominated by the

:02:24. > :02:32.remarks of the current post holder who said this about Jim Allister. He

:02:32. > :02:37.chides me for doing business -- with Republicans, but outside this house,

:02:37. > :02:42.secretly, the member, as the executor of a well, it is selling

:02:42. > :02:45.land to Republicans in County Fermanagh to benefit his family. Jim

:02:45. > :02:48.land to Republicans in County Allister denied he was the

:02:48. > :02:53.consecutive or beneficiary of any will. He said the farm belongs to a

:02:53. > :02:58.relative and after it was sold, the proceeds with divided between six

:02:58. > :03:05.beneficiaries, one of whom was his wife. The TUV reader asked the

:03:05. > :03:09.speakers to investigate the remarks. The standard of the debate yesterday

:03:09. > :03:17.was below the standard I expect. However, it is clear to me there is

:03:17. > :03:20.no evidence of unlawful behaviour. The speaker said the matter was now

:03:20. > :03:25.closed. Today, a member of the The speaker said the matter was now

:03:25. > :03:29.family involved contacted the BBC and said he wanted Peter Robinson to

:03:29. > :03:34.withdraw his accusations. The family member, who wishes to remain

:03:34. > :03:36.anonymous, says he was appalled the first Minister tried to make

:03:36. > :03:41.political capital out of the death of his late relative. The family

:03:41. > :03:47.also wants Peter Robinson to apologise. Today, others criticised

:03:48. > :03:53.him. I thought the words were squalid and set carrying and it ill

:03:53. > :04:00.behoves our first Minister who has a duty under the student -- under the

:04:00. > :04:04.ministerial code to have sectarian iced Private business between Jim

:04:04. > :04:08.Allister and his family. It would helpful if he were to come back and

:04:08. > :04:13.explain the situation from his point of view. Also to make an apology to

:04:13. > :04:18.the house. Other ministers say Peter Robinson

:04:18. > :04:21.needs to explain what he meant. He has to answer the question

:04:21. > :04:26.quickly, does he leave that when it comes to the sale of property, who'd

:04:26. > :04:30.you sell it to is influenced now the weather you are Catholic,

:04:30. > :04:39.Nationalist Republican? He needs to clarify his remarks.

:04:39. > :04:45.Today, Jim Allister reiterated his position.

:04:45. > :04:50.My wife has no ownership of any land anywhere. This is another attempt to

:04:50. > :04:53.continue the scurrilous attack on me anywhere. This is another attempt to

:04:53. > :04:59.and my family and I really do resent. I am fair game as they

:04:59. > :05:04.politician in the rough and tumble of politics, but my wife is not in

:05:04. > :05:09.politics. Once, Jim Allister and Peter

:05:09. > :05:14.Robinson what political allies. This is the latest twist to a

:05:14. > :05:15.relationship that has turned sour. Nobody from the DUP was available

:05:15. > :05:34.for interview, but the party said. In response, Jim Allister said any

:05:34. > :05:38.attempt to slow him or his family would not be tolerated. He has

:05:38. > :05:42.written to the speaker and he hopes to make a personal statement to the

:05:42. > :05:46.Assembly. So is the row merely a political

:05:46. > :05:47.spat between warring parties or does it raise wider issues? Our political

:05:48. > :05:51.spat between warring parties or does editor, Mark Devenport, joins me

:05:51. > :05:55.from Stormont. How serious is this?

:05:55. > :06:01.We know that there have been tensions between the TUV and the

:06:01. > :06:03.DUP, over a number of issues, particularly over the maze peace

:06:03. > :06:11.Centre which Jim Allister was making a point about yesterday. Maybe that

:06:11. > :06:17.was the intention of Mr Robinson, to divert from the story. It has

:06:17. > :06:19.brought out this historic memory of supposedly positions were near the

:06:19. > :06:23.border you get Protestants unwilling supposedly positions were near the

:06:23. > :06:26.to sell property to Catholics. The DUP say this is not the point they

:06:27. > :06:30.to sell property to Catholics. The were making, they were talking about

:06:30. > :06:34.inconsistency. But you heard nationalists charging that

:06:34. > :06:44.assessment Mr has to distance himself from that sectarian eyes

:06:44. > :06:49.Asian of the property market. -- charging that the first Minister. He

:06:49. > :06:53.has been in -- accused of introducing a sectarian element to a

:06:53. > :06:57.property sale, or the personal element was on of the first

:06:57. > :07:03.Minister. So you could say it has backfired, but it has diverted from

:07:03. > :07:08.the business Jim Allister was trying to raise. Talking to DUP sources,

:07:08. > :07:13.they do not seem to be embarrassed. They say they have to put up with a

:07:13. > :07:18.tax from Jim Allister and he puts on self on a Unionist pedestal, so they

:07:18. > :07:22.are hitting back in time. -- puts himself. You are watching BBC

:07:31. > :07:33.A court in Belfast has heard firm denials from a man accused of raping

:07:33. > :07:42.A court in Belfast has heard firm and indecently assaulting his

:07:42. > :07:44.daughter more than 30 years ago. 58-year-old Liam Adams, a brother of

:07:44. > :07:47.daughter more than 30 years ago. the former West Belfast MP Gerry

:07:47. > :07:50.Adams, is facing ten charges of assaulting his daughter Aine in the

:07:50. > :07:57.late '70s and early '80s. Will Leitch reports.

:07:57. > :08:00.Liam Adams did not give evidence in court today but listened while the

:08:00. > :08:06.jury heard transcripts of three interviews he gave to detectives

:08:06. > :08:10.after his arrest in February 2007. The allegations made by his daughter

:08:10. > :08:17.Aine were put to him, and the claim his brother, Gerry Adams, his

:08:17. > :08:19.ex-wife and Aine confronted him in 1987 in Donegal. He refuted all of

:08:19. > :08:32.it. He said to a detective... Earlier, his daughter, Sinead, seen

:08:32. > :08:37.here with her sister Aine, told the court she confronted her father in

:08:37. > :08:43.Christmas 2002 and said he had confessed. She said she asked, did

:08:43. > :08:44.you abuse my sister? She said he replied, yes, that happens between

:08:44. > :08:51.you abuse my sister? She said he me and Aine, this is not about me

:08:51. > :08:55.and Aine, this is about you and me. Sinead met her father several more

:08:55. > :08:59.times in 2003 before breaking contact. Defence barristers painted

:08:59. > :09:03.a different picture and said they were friendly and convivial family

:09:03. > :09:06.gatherings and they said her were friendly and convivial family

:09:06. > :09:10.behaviour was inconsistent with a woman who had heard her father

:09:10. > :09:26.confessed to raping her sister. A defence barrister said...

:09:26. > :09:34.Liam Adams denies making any confession. The case is expected to

:09:34. > :09:36.continue into next week. Unionist politicians say they have

:09:36. > :09:43.grave concerns that state schools are being unfairly hit by budget

:09:43. > :09:45.cuts. An Assembly debate today has been looking at how hundreds of

:09:45. > :09:47.cuts. An Assembly debate today has thousands of pounds are being

:09:47. > :09:49.redistributed, in an attempt to improve standards for children from

:09:49. > :09:55.redistributed, in an attempt to poorer backgrounds. Our education

:09:55. > :10:01.correspondent, Maggie Taggart, has been looking at the potential

:10:01. > :10:03.winners and losers. This school may look affluent,

:10:03. > :10:08.winners and losers. sitting in North Down, but it says

:10:08. > :10:13.it it stretched to the limit and the prospect of losing £25,000 from its

:10:13. > :10:17.budget is daunting. It is in a group of ten primary schools, nine will

:10:17. > :10:21.lose funds, but they are fighting their corner as they see other

:10:21. > :10:26.schools getting extra resources. I am not against giving children in

:10:27. > :10:32.deprived areas extra funding, I am arguing for, why has it been taken

:10:32. > :10:36.from schools like ours whose budgets are extraordinarily stretched? -- I

:10:37. > :10:43.am not arguing for giving children. There is an argument to giving more

:10:43. > :10:47.weight to free school meals. Poverty usually goes hand-in-hand with poor

:10:47. > :10:51.performance and the money will aim to raise standards. Four out of five

:10:51. > :10:56.board in Northern Ireland are suffering heavy losses but they are

:10:56. > :10:59.much better off in Belfast. Saint Peters here in Belfast is benefiting

:10:59. > :11:05.from 15% of their budget, £121,000. Peters here in Belfast is benefiting

:11:05. > :11:14.80% of pupils here are entitled to free school mulls so the budget will

:11:14. > :11:19.increase. -- school meals. This is a piece of social engineering and it

:11:19. > :11:26.will good in an area like this to benefit from it. It is maybe not

:11:26. > :11:30.fair for everyone but the Minister has made this a priority and we are

:11:30. > :11:36.one of the beneficiaries, so we are happy.

:11:36. > :11:40.The majority of the 832 primary schools in Northern Ireland look set

:11:40. > :11:42.to see a reduced budget. Belfast fares best with 24 out of 79 schools

:11:42. > :12:04.facing cuts. Almost all integrated primary

:12:04. > :12:08.schools will face cuts. Unionist politicians say they have grave

:12:08. > :12:13.concerns about the way the cuts would take controlled schools

:12:13. > :12:16.attended mostly by Protestants. 15% will get increases compared to 24%

:12:16. > :12:23.in the maintained or Catholic sector. Those figures do not add up

:12:23. > :12:25.in terms of equity, transparency and fairness. The controlled schools are

:12:25. > :12:29.being graded to ensure money is put fairness. The controlled schools are

:12:29. > :12:34.into other set does, that is not fair. The DUP are trained to

:12:34. > :12:40.sectarian eyes this. This is about need and it is important to get that

:12:40. > :12:44.message across. The funding does not sufficiently target resources in

:12:44. > :12:48.need and we need to address that. There is still time to give an

:12:48. > :12:50.opinion on this because consultation continues until mid October.

:12:50. > :12:57.Interesting debate there. You can continues until mid October.

:12:57. > :13:00.tell us what you think on our Facebook page. Just search for BBC

:13:00. > :13:04.Newsline. This is BBC Newsline, coming up on the programme before

:13:04. > :13:05.seven: She is on board and on her bike, how one Winter Olympics

:13:05. > :13:18.hopeful is training for success. Nine people have been arrested

:13:18. > :13:22.following raids on did illegal workers at shopping centres in

:13:22. > :13:26.Northern Ireland. The operation, carried out a enforcement teams from

:13:26. > :13:30.the Home Office, targeted mobile phone accessory cards in nine

:13:30. > :13:36.different locations including shopping walls in Belfast, Dungannon

:13:36. > :13:42.and Enniskillen. More arrests could take place in the coming days. We

:13:42. > :13:46.have been trying to get more intelligent from this job. We would

:13:46. > :13:47.look if we will prosecute these people or remove them to their own

:13:48. > :13:52.look if we will prosecute these countries, if we can. We could also

:13:52. > :13:55.look at more intelligence that will help us to get behind these workers

:13:55. > :14:04.and find out who is facilitating this. You may not have heard of

:14:04. > :14:10.Puffin Rock yet, but you will soon. The cartoon is going into production

:14:10. > :14:13.at a new animation studio in Londonderry for Nickelodeon. The

:14:13. > :14:17.cartoon has a budget of over £2 million and is co-produced by Derry

:14:17. > :14:23.-based media company Dog Ears. Our million and is co-produced by Derry

:14:23. > :14:30.reporter has had a look. Puffin Rock follows the adventures

:14:30. > :14:36.of a family of puffins. They live on an island off the coast of Kerry.

:14:36. > :14:47.The production is narrated by an Irish film star, Chris O'Dowd. It is

:14:47. > :14:53.a glorious day on offer in rock. The TV series would be co-produced in Co

:14:53. > :14:59.Derry. We want to make something very strong that we can be proud of,

:14:59. > :15:02.so the fact we can make it in Co Derry means it is good for us, and

:15:02. > :15:07.the factory can develop something in Co Derry and expose it worldwide and

:15:07. > :15:13.take it to a worldwide market, that is the kind of thing we would like

:15:13. > :15:17.to do. It is a success story for this company, they are building a

:15:17. > :15:22.new studio in the city and recruiting new staff. 1 million of

:15:23. > :15:25.our budget will be spent in the north-western Co Derry, and we are

:15:25. > :15:32.confident we will create about 12 new jobs, so that is very exciting.

:15:32. > :15:38.This is not just about the cartoon, Puffin Rock will be a series of

:15:38. > :15:44.products which will turn it into a growth global round which could be

:15:44. > :15:49.seen by millions of people. We have been working on this for a long

:15:49. > :15:53.time, and you hope that this will be somebody's favourite book or

:15:53. > :15:54.cartoon, and to reach that, it is the most exciting thing we could

:15:54. > :15:59.cartoon, and to reach that, it is think of.

:15:59. > :16:03.As it all gets underway, there are still opportunities for fledgling

:16:03. > :16:23.voice-over artists. Could you be a character? If you would like to get

:16:23. > :16:30.involved, then get in contact on the website.

:16:30. > :16:36.Police have arrested a 16-year-old man in east London as part of a

:16:36. > :16:41.renewed investigation into a 1976 Belfast murder. 26-year-old Paul

:16:41. > :16:55.McNally was shot dead and another man seriously injured in a sectarian

:16:55. > :16:57.gun attack outside Sean Graham's bookmakers on the common road.

:16:57. > :16:59.Methodist College in Belfast has sent all GCSE geography results back

:16:59. > :17:01.Methodist College in Belfast has to an English exam boards to be

:17:01. > :17:03.re-marked. It is understood the school is unhappy with the marks

:17:03. > :17:05.awarded for course work in this year's exams. AQA has concerned it

:17:05. > :17:12.awarded for course work in this is reviewing these results. -- has

:17:12. > :17:15.confirmed. Ulster's returning Lions could

:17:15. > :17:19.feature in the next game, but managing this workload will be the

:17:19. > :17:24.challenge this autumn. Now, the sports news.

:17:24. > :17:28.Tommy Bowe and Rory Best are back in contention for Ulster in the pro 12

:17:28. > :17:32.match against Treviso on Friday at Ravenhill. It will be their first

:17:32. > :17:37.game since returning from the Lions tour. They are good examples of the

:17:37. > :17:47.ongoing debate on Irish internationals and have -- how often

:17:47. > :17:51.they are available to play? This final was the last time that

:17:51. > :17:56.Rory Best and Tommy Bowe played for Ulster. 125 days later, this Friday

:17:56. > :18:00.night, they will be part of an Ulster squad back in Ravenhill. It

:18:00. > :18:04.brings into focus the ongoing debate, when Irish internationals

:18:04. > :18:09.come play with their problems and when they must rest? Rory Best

:18:09. > :18:12.believes that Irish players have an attachment to their problems that

:18:12. > :18:19.are simply unique in world rugby, so when they can and cannot play, this

:18:19. > :18:22.must be carefully managed. It's definitely does. If you are given

:18:22. > :18:26.the option, if you have a nickel and you're given the option to come up

:18:26. > :18:31.here, what do you think, do you want to play? Every time, I will say

:18:31. > :18:36.yes, because not only is it special to play for Ulster, but you do not

:18:36. > :18:40.want to let down your team-mates and ultimately as a rugby player, you

:18:40. > :18:45.want to play me. It needs to be taken out of the hands of the

:18:45. > :18:49.player. Almost always, the player will choose to play rugby. That is

:18:49. > :18:53.player. Almost always, the player the problem facing Joe Smith, as a

:18:53. > :18:58.called for Leinster, he understands the desire to play for the problems,

:18:58. > :19:11.but as the coach of the country, it is important that they do not. It is

:19:11. > :19:15.pretty self and evident that by the time the six Nations, round, some

:19:15. > :19:21.players could be compromised by fatigue. Is it the best thing for

:19:21. > :19:26.Irish rugby? Is the best thing for any team to overplay a player? It is

:19:27. > :19:30.not best for the player or the team. He will have a hands-on role

:19:30. > :19:34.managing the players and when they will become available to the

:19:34. > :19:37.provinces. One of the priorities for Irish rugby is to redevelop the

:19:37. > :19:40.resource pool so that the provinces, including Ulster, can

:19:40. > :19:49.thrive, even when international players are absent.

:19:49. > :19:53.Noel King has been named as interim boss of the Republic of Ireland

:19:53. > :19:58.soccer team. He has been working as coach of the under 21 is and will

:19:58. > :20:01.prepare for the Republic's two remaining World Cup qualifiers away

:20:01. > :20:06.to Germany and at home to Kazakhstan, as the FAI searches for

:20:06. > :20:09.a permanent successor to Giovanni Trapattoni.

:20:09. > :20:15.With the Winter Olympics fast approaching, a woman from banger is

:20:15. > :20:21.hoping to represent Northern Ireland in the Winter Olympics. Aimee Fuller

:20:21. > :20:26.compete and trains alone, but in the last week, she met up with the rest

:20:26. > :20:31.of the Team GB skiers and boarders for a team bonding exercise with a

:20:31. > :20:33.difference. We usually find Aimee Fuller

:20:33. > :20:37.hurtling down the ski slopes on her ski board. She is hoping to confirm

:20:37. > :20:39.her place at the next Winter Olympics. But the woman from County

:20:39. > :20:44.her place at the next Winter Down has been trying something

:20:45. > :20:49.different with the rest of Team GB. We are at the Manchester velodrome,

:20:49. > :20:54.giving it a go, trying a few new skills, going as fast as we can

:20:54. > :21:01.around a very steep track. It would be interesting. The Olympic cyclists

:21:01. > :21:04.reach up to 50 mph on this track, and whilst Aimee Fuller isn't

:21:04. > :21:10.reaching this speed, the exercise proved to be worth it both for

:21:10. > :21:13.fitness and for some team bonding. We are never normally in the UK

:21:14. > :21:17.together, we are always travelling together, so it is fun to be on the

:21:17. > :21:20.home turf and do something different, so this is something we

:21:20. > :21:26.would never get the opportunity to do. That is seriously intense, but

:21:26. > :21:31.it is so much fun. You can go so fast on these things. After a

:21:31. > :21:36.snowboarding career, cycling! Maybe not! Two wheels may be fun, but

:21:36. > :21:44.Aimee Fuller will be back on her snowboard soon enough!

:21:44. > :21:47.We wish all of the best of luck. American Le Mans is a sports car

:21:48. > :21:52.racing series in the United States and Canada and was created in the

:21:58. > :22:03.well over there. Two cars locked in a battle at the

:22:03. > :22:09.front of a race in Austin, Texas this weekend. The problem car is

:22:09. > :22:11.driven by Damien Faulkner, a native of Co Donegal. He is about to take

:22:11. > :22:17.first place on the podium. He joins of Co Donegal. He is about to take

:22:17. > :22:22.the Le Mans series two years ago and is now a highly regarded driver in

:22:22. > :22:27.the United States. I knew that it would come to me if I played it

:22:27. > :22:31.cleverly and kept out of trouble. Obviously, we were not striving

:22:31. > :22:36.easily, the lap times were very fast. Eventually, there was no

:22:36. > :22:41.catching him. It's does his reputation no harm, but like every

:22:41. > :22:48.good driver, he knows it is not a one-man sprint. Fantastic. I am lost

:22:48. > :22:52.for words, for once. Just, the team, they were just, they were just

:22:52. > :22:59.perfect throughout the whole weekend. Next up is a raise in

:22:59. > :23:05.Virginia, then onto the season final in Atlanta, Georgia. That is life in

:23:19. > :23:23.Dungannon woman Michaella McCollum and Scottish woman Melissa Reid are

:23:23. > :23:27.at court in Lima. These are the latest pictures. The 20-year-old was

:23:27. > :23:31.brought thereabouts two years ago. They are expected to plead guilty

:23:31. > :23:36.having been arrested with a large quantity of drugs at the airport in

:23:36. > :23:38.the city last month. When her name first tip the headlines, it was

:23:39. > :23:43.thought she had gone missing. Then she turned up thousands of miles

:23:43. > :23:46.from home in the most unlikely of circumstances. Alun Jones has been

:23:46. > :23:50.looking at the background to this case, and to report begins with

:23:50. > :24:00.pictures taken shortly after the pair were arrested. What is your

:24:00. > :24:04.name? Michaella McCollum. Far from home and unable to speak the local

:24:04. > :24:08.language, the 20-year-old was questioned on camera by the police

:24:08. > :24:13.at Lima airport. She and Melissa Reid were stopped from boarding a

:24:13. > :24:19.flight to Madrid. Suspected of trying to smuggle drugs out of the

:24:19. > :24:24.country. They had cocaine worth £1.5 million which is claimed to have

:24:24. > :24:32.been hidden in these food packages. I was forced to take these bags in

:24:32. > :24:40.my luggage. You know it contains drugs? I did not know that. They

:24:40. > :24:48.claim that an armed gang forced them to carry the drugs from EB said to

:24:48. > :24:53.Lima. -- from Spain to Lima. They run the gauntlet of the media

:24:53. > :25:00.throughout the judicial process in Lima. A Belfast lawyer takes on the

:25:00. > :25:08.case of Melissa -- Michaella McCollum. The prison accommodation

:25:08. > :25:10.is not acceptable, there are no blankets, it is not clean, and the

:25:10. > :25:14.most important thing is, they had blankets, it is not clean, and the

:25:14. > :25:18.not been offered any foods today. They have been in jail in the

:25:18. > :25:23.Peruvian capital since their arrest in early August. A far cry from the

:25:23. > :25:27.carefree image captured in these photographs taken a few days just

:25:27. > :25:30.before their arrest. If Michaella McCollum makes representations to

:25:30. > :25:33.the authorities there, she could serve her prison sentence closer to

:25:33. > :25:38.home. We will have the latest in the late

:25:49. > :25:55.will be some dampness around and a lot of places are looking like

:25:55. > :25:58.this. This picture taken earlier today in Warrenpoint. The low cloud

:25:58. > :26:03.failing to go away. It is here for the rest of the night. Some light

:26:03. > :26:10.rain and drizzle working in two parts of Co Fermanagh and Co Tyrone

:26:10. > :26:14.at the moment. It will be damp on the south. Some rain here and there.

:26:15. > :26:22.Plenty of mist and low cloud. Foggy on the hills. On the plus side, at

:26:22. > :26:26.least it is still miles. Mild enough to keep the central heating switched

:26:27. > :26:31.off. Tomorrow, starting grey and misty again. Much of the day would

:26:31. > :26:37.be cloudy. The drab weather refusing to lift away. Some spots of rain,

:26:37. > :26:42.not a lot, and many places will stay dry through the day. Especially

:26:42. > :26:46.across the south and west, that is very you are likely to see some

:27:17. > :27:22.night, some conditions again. Some light rain and drizzle, but nothing

:27:22. > :27:27.of any significance. Thursday, you might need an umbrella. Some showers

:27:27. > :27:32.around, possibly, and cloudy conditions would be persistent.

:27:32. > :27:36.Writer on Friday, some high pressure before some wet weather working its

:27:36. > :27:41.way north over the weekend. Friday looks like the best day.
