:00:13. > :00:22.Good evening. The headlines on BBC Newsline: The death of a man in West

:00:22. > :00:31.Belfast is linked to drugs. I'm live with the details.

:00:31. > :00:36.The police begin and attempted murder inquiry after a woman is shot

:00:36. > :00:39.five times. A younger brother of Gerry Adams gives evidence in his

:00:39. > :00:47.own defence at his trial. This tourist attraction is shutting its

:00:47. > :00:52.doors for good. The redevelopment of the Windsor Park football stadium,

:00:52. > :00:56.will it go ahead? We'll have the latest. Yet another grey, damp and

:00:56. > :00:59.drizzly day today. But a change is on the way. Drier and brighter for

:00:59. > :01:03.tomorrow. Join me later for the full forecast.

:01:03. > :01:10.First, to the news that a man has died and two others are in hospital

:01:10. > :01:13.in Belfast. The local MP Paul Maskey says there are suspicions that drugs

:01:13. > :01:16.may have been a factor. Our reporter Helen Jones is on the Falls Road for

:01:16. > :01:26.us. Helen Jones is on the Falls Road for

:01:26. > :01:30.Demand was 28 and was from this area wealth -- West Belfast. He died on

:01:30. > :01:34.Tuesday morning. It is believed that he and two friends were at the same

:01:34. > :01:40.party. Those two friends are now stable in hospital. It is suspected

:01:40. > :01:44.that drugs were linked to these -- this death, but we will not know

:01:44. > :01:53.until a toxicology report. Joining me is Benny. What is the situation?

:01:53. > :01:58.The family have not told me anything as yet. They have to wait for

:01:58. > :02:04.results with the toxicology report. The family at this time are totally

:02:04. > :02:12.devastated. He was a popular young men in this community. Anyone he

:02:12. > :02:16.would speak to spoke with a smile and their face about how much of a

:02:16. > :02:27.character he was. Kevin played football for a lot of clubs. He also

:02:27. > :02:34.coached. Anybody else who has any uploads with drugs or drugs misuse

:02:34. > :02:40.can't get back to talk to anybody on any helpline. Is there any you

:02:40. > :02:49.recommend? There is 124-hour a day number. They can access -- it is

:02:49. > :02:56.accessible at any time. The police are treating the shooting

:02:56. > :03:00.of a woman outside her East Belfast home last night as attempted murder.

:03:00. > :03:04.The 24-year-old was shot five times and a paramilitary link is one of

:03:04. > :03:10.the lines of enquiry. It's the first attack of this kind on a woman in

:03:10. > :03:13.more than 20 years. A bloodstained towel lies on the

:03:13. > :03:18.ground outside the home of the shooting victim this morning. The

:03:18. > :03:25.24-year-old woman was dragged from her house just after 10:30pm last

:03:25. > :03:29.night. It is understood she was shot five times, sustaining injuries to

:03:29. > :03:32.her lower abdomen, legs and left arm. People in the street were

:03:32. > :03:36.reluctant to talk about what happened, but one neighbour, who did

:03:36. > :03:43.not want to be identified, said she was not sure what was going on when

:03:43. > :03:46.the shots rang out. I thought the shots where fireworks because the

:03:46. > :03:52.kids have been going on lately with fireworks. I heard a scream. She was

:03:53. > :04:00.shouting out for help. The motive for the account is still not clear,

:04:00. > :04:04.but the police have still not ruled out a paramilitary punishment

:04:04. > :04:08.shooting. The shooting of the woman has drawn widespread condemnation,

:04:08. > :04:14.including from local politicians. The shooting of a young woman is an

:04:14. > :04:18.appalling crime, and to do it in a residential area is just a

:04:18. > :04:23.thoughtless and obscene act, and I think that we need people to step up

:04:23. > :04:28.and support the police and the rule of law and protect the community by

:04:28. > :04:31.working with the police. There will be rumours flying around the

:04:31. > :04:37.community. There will be reasons given as to why it happened, but

:04:37. > :04:41.nobody has the rights to carry out a punishment shooting. It is a

:04:41. > :04:47.barbaric incident, but barbaric and the respect that there were other

:04:47. > :04:51.incidents -- witnesses to it. One lady approached the woman but had to

:04:51. > :04:56.go back because she had children with her. Incidence of this kind,

:04:56. > :05:00.where women are targeted by gunmen, are relatively rare. Since 1990,

:05:00. > :05:03.there have only been three female casualties all in the Belfast area,

:05:03. > :05:15.including last night's shooting. casualties all in the Belfast area,

:05:15. > :05:18.A younger brother of Gerry Adams on trial accused of raping and

:05:18. > :05:22.assaulting his eldest daughter has been giving evidence in his defence.

:05:22. > :05:25.Liam Adams who, is 58 and from Bernagh Drive in Belfast, denies ten

:05:25. > :05:29.offences against his daughter in more than 30 years ago.

:05:29. > :05:33.Liam Adams came to court today to enter the witness box, the first

:05:33. > :05:36.time the jury of nine men and three women had heard his voice. Asked by

:05:36. > :05:41.time the jury of nine men and three the defence barrister about the

:05:41. > :05:45.charges, he consistently denied them. It emerged in court that Liam

:05:45. > :05:52.Adams had lied to the court in 2007 during interviews. He told them he

:05:52. > :05:58.had not met his daughter and Gerry Adams in 1987 to be confronted about

:05:58. > :06:02.the allegations. Today he told the court that the meeting and that

:06:02. > :06:07.confrontation had indeed happened. That begs the question from counsel,

:06:07. > :06:11.why did he lie to the police, ignoring clearly the advice from his

:06:11. > :06:15.solicitor? He said he had a good reason, because of the way he had

:06:15. > :06:20.been brought up. It was drummed into be -- me by my father that you do

:06:20. > :06:24.not talk about Jerry and the barracks to the soldiers the police

:06:24. > :06:29.or the media. Later he said that you did not talk about Gerry Adams. He

:06:29. > :06:31.was later cross-examined by a did not talk about Gerry Adams. He

:06:31. > :06:36.prosecution barrister about the meeting, and was reminded that his

:06:36. > :06:50.ex-wife remembers talking to him after it. The barrister said:

:06:50. > :06:56.Mr Adams told the court that family life had been normal 30 years ago

:06:56. > :07:00.and that he had been a good father to his daughter. He said that she

:07:00. > :07:01.did not -- he did not know why she made these allegations against him

:07:01. > :07:06.as a child and as a grown woman. made these allegations against him

:07:06. > :07:09.Asked about each of the nation in turn, he replied each time that he

:07:09. > :07:18.was telling the truth and nothing like that ever happened.

:07:18. > :07:23.Liam Adams testified in court for around three hours and have now

:07:23. > :07:27.completed his evidence in the trial. Further witnesses are expected to be

:07:27. > :07:27.told tomorrow when the defence completes its

:07:27. > :07:37.The latest now on the Dungannon woman Michaella McCollum who's

:07:37. > :07:46.charged with drug trafficking in Peru. The 20-year-old and her

:07:46. > :07:49.Scottish friend Melissa Reid had pleaded guilty to having 11 kilos of

:07:49. > :07:52.cocaine in their luggage at Lima Airport last month hoping that their

:07:52. > :07:54.admission would get them a reduced sentence. But last night the

:07:55. > :07:59.Peruvian authorities challenged their pleas.

:07:59. > :08:03.What is your name? Michaela. Michaela McCollum and Melissa Reid

:08:03. > :08:09.were stopped at Lima Airport last month trying to return to an area

:08:09. > :08:15.where they had been working. They had hidden 11 kilograms of cocaine

:08:15. > :08:16.worth around £1.5 million in their luggage. They said they had been

:08:16. > :08:20.worth around £1.5 million in their forced to carry the drugs under

:08:21. > :08:23.duress by an armed gang who threatened their families. They deny

:08:23. > :08:30.duress by an armed gang who the charges. At a court hearing on

:08:30. > :08:34.Tuesday, the pair entered guilty pleas in the hope that doing so

:08:35. > :08:38.would get them a reduced sentence. A court press releases that they knew

:08:38. > :08:41.they were going to transport drugs and that they regret having

:08:41. > :08:46.participated in such an act. But last night, the Peruvian authorities

:08:46. > :08:50.said they were not satisfied. A prosecutor said the pair had not

:08:50. > :08:57.accepted for spots ability for their role in trying to smuggle cocaine

:08:57. > :09:02.out of the country. -- accepted full responsibility. The pair were not

:09:02. > :09:05.threatened or coerced. This is only a version of evidence to exonerate

:09:05. > :09:09.themselves that is not credible, as we outlined in the pulmonary

:09:09. > :09:14.hearing, and if they continue to maintain this I'm credible version

:09:14. > :09:18.of events, the prosecution is not going

:09:18. > :09:24.advantage of a quick conclusion of proceedings. It is expected they

:09:24. > :09:27.will be asked for a second statement next month, in which they make full

:09:27. > :09:36.admission of responsibility and provide more information.

:09:36. > :09:39.A social worker has told BBC Newsline that young people continue

:09:39. > :09:42.to be raped while the authorities continue to squabble over the sexual

:09:42. > :09:45.exploitation of children. Questions have also been raised about an

:09:45. > :09:52.independent inquiry into the issue announced yesterday and if that's

:09:52. > :09:57.the best use of public money. For some of these young people, a

:09:57. > :10:00.night out with friends could turn into something sinister. What

:10:00. > :10:04.appears to be an innocent chat up line, for instance, can also lead to

:10:04. > :10:11.behaviour where they are being exploited by man. With the living in

:10:11. > :10:15.care or at home, the same thing can happen. One of the women that I

:10:15. > :10:22.talked to told me that she felt the size of a thumbnail, that she was

:10:22. > :10:26.completely surrounded by darkness, that she did not feel that she had

:10:26. > :10:32.anyone or anywhere to go and the whole world became dark when she was

:10:32. > :10:37.exploited. Following last week's elevations -- revelations about 30

:10:37. > :10:39.people had been arrested in an investigation of the sexual

:10:39. > :10:44.exportation of teenagers, questions are being asked about what is being

:10:44. > :10:48.done to protect them. In 2010, a private members Bill attempted to

:10:48. > :10:52.address the problem. This evening, we can further revealed that around

:10:52. > :10:55.the same time, the Department of Health produced its own document,

:10:55. > :11:01.which also failed to get off the ground. Dylan macro what I can say

:11:01. > :11:05.which also failed to get off the is -- I can say that this is a clear

:11:05. > :11:16.situation where any woman would have wanted this to be acted on in a more

:11:16. > :11:22.accurate fashion. Collectively, we have tried to take this issue

:11:22. > :11:27.forward and say, this is now to be acted upon. Now there are two

:11:27. > :11:30.reports, dating back to 2010, which revealed just how long ago the

:11:30. > :11:36.authorities recognise this as a major problem. But three and a half

:11:36. > :11:41.years is not a long time for most people, but for those being sexually

:11:41. > :11:47.exploited -- sexually employs it, it can be a lifetime. It is also

:11:47. > :11:51.emerged that some people who are being exported are currently waiting

:11:51. > :11:56.for counselling. There is the stark warning. They have said they felt

:11:56. > :12:02.very angry because everybody is squabbling and arguing who is to

:12:02. > :12:05.blame, and what they are saying is, why are you arguing between

:12:05. > :12:10.ourselves? We are still getting raped. The health minister had that

:12:10. > :12:20.an independent inquiry will stop the squabbling, but for some health

:12:20. > :12:25.professionals come it is not the appropriate way to go. Money should

:12:25. > :12:37.be spent on this. A team of experts has now been established and will be

:12:37. > :12:40.up and running in weeks. Interpol says the Kenyan authorities have

:12:40. > :12:44.asked them to issue a red notice, its most urgent level of request,

:12:44. > :12:47.for the arrest of the British woman, Samantha Lewthwaite, who was brought

:12:47. > :12:59.up in Northern Ireland. She is the widow of one of the July seventh

:12:59. > :13:02.London bombers. The TUV leader Jim Allister has released a letter from

:13:02. > :13:05.a solicitor confirming he did not benefit from the sale of land in

:13:05. > :13:08.County Fermanagh. In the Assembly this week, Peter Robinson claimed

:13:08. > :13:10.that Mr Allister had been the executor of a will selling land to

:13:10. > :13:13.Republicans in Fermanagh. The executor of a will selling land to

:13:13. > :13:16.lawyer's letter says Mr Allister was not an executor, and that the

:13:16. > :13:20.Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster witnessed the will in her work as a

:13:20. > :13:23.solicitor. In comments to the Impartial Reporter newspaper, Ms

:13:23. > :13:28.Foster has said she made the will, but did not tell the First Minister

:13:28. > :13:32.about it. A second sum of money has been found

:13:32. > :13:37.hidden in the former Dublin home of the bankrupt developer Tom McFeely.

:13:37. > :13:57.Detectives discovered sixty thousand euros hidden in a bathroom

:13:57. > :14:01.yesterday. While the Exploris Aquarium in Portaferry has been

:14:01. > :14:03.given a temporary reprieve, another visitor attraction will definitely

:14:03. > :14:06.close its doors this weekend. For 20 years the Dunluce Centre in

:14:06. > :14:10.Portrush has offered indoor entertainment for holiday makers

:14:10. > :14:12.when the weather is bad. But visitor numbers have dropped and the

:14:12. > :14:19.Coleraine Council says it can't afford to keep it going. Here's

:14:19. > :14:23.David Maxwell. It looks like a lighthouse but soon the lights will

:14:23. > :14:28.go out. This was a key attraction lighthouse but soon the lights will

:14:28. > :14:33.with a 2-dimensional simulator. It had a range of facilities and this

:14:33. > :14:38.place was supposed to be a hub for holiday-makers. It is impossible to

:14:38. > :14:42.miss the Dunluce Centre when you arrive in Portrush and many people I

:14:42. > :14:46.spoke to today spoke about it as a great white elephant, a building

:14:46. > :14:51.which has never achieved its full potential for tourists the local

:14:51. > :15:00.community. It is a shame. It could have been put to better use. It is

:15:00. > :15:05.very outdated. Since the centre was built, it has been a white elephant.

:15:05. > :15:10.It is of no benefit to local people. It is closed for most of the year

:15:10. > :15:14.and it is no great loss to see at closing. It was popular but it

:15:14. > :15:17.started and it was for quite a while. It seemed to lose its

:15:17. > :15:22.popularity which is a pity because while. It seemed to lose its

:15:22. > :15:25.it was lovely. Visitor numbers have in falling sharply. In 2011 there

:15:25. > :15:30.were 45,000 people visiting and over in falling sharply. In 2011 there

:15:30. > :15:34.the last year that dropped to 27,000. Coleraine Borough Council

:15:34. > :15:41.has had to subsidise the centre. In the last financial year it cost

:15:41. > :15:46.ratepayers £187,000. The council has decided to seek outside help. IME

:15:46. > :15:52.business person as well as a counsellor and I think that

:15:52. > :15:59.frequently the business sector can do things that the council cannot

:15:59. > :16:01.do. Coleraine Council says it has had several expressions of interest

:16:01. > :16:07.and is confident this building will have a new lease of life. I will

:16:07. > :16:11.guarantee this building will not lie derelict and boarded up with

:16:11. > :16:16.graffiti scrawled on it. It will not knocked down and I think it has a

:16:16. > :16:20.bright future. It is in a really good location at the gateway to

:16:20. > :16:23.Portrush and I think that next season, hopefully, there will be

:16:23. > :16:29.something more exciting for people to visit when they come here. What

:16:29. > :16:31.will replace it remains to be seen but while no jobs were lost and I

:16:31. > :16:33.think that next season, hopefully, there will be something more

:16:33. > :16:37.exciting for people to visit when they come here. What will replace it

:16:37. > :16:44.remains to be seen but while no jobs were that any new venture will

:16:44. > :16:47.create much-needed employment. Games loaded onto mobile phones or

:16:47. > :16:50.tablet computers provide hours of entertainment for so many children.

:16:50. > :16:54.But are parents aware of how much money they are costing? Today the

:16:54. > :16:57.games companies got a wrap over the knuckles from the Office of Fair

:16:57. > :17:00.Trading because while some games appear to be free of charge children

:17:00. > :17:02.are then pressurised to pay for extras once the game has started.

:17:02. > :17:06.are then pressurised to pay for Mark Simpson looks at what we can do

:17:06. > :17:12.to stop racking up big bills. Posted was teenagers making too many phone

:17:12. > :17:18.calls. Then too many text messages. Lack -- first it was. Now parents

:17:18. > :17:21.have something else to worry about, too many applications. Some games

:17:21. > :17:28.that are free of charge but children I then asked to pay for extras and

:17:28. > :17:33.it is all too easy. This teenager in England racked up a bill of £3000,

:17:33. > :17:38.much to the surprise of his father. But it is a problem in Northern

:17:38. > :17:42.Ireland as well. What can parents do about it? Look at your settings. If

:17:42. > :17:47.you do not understand them, talk to someone who doors and make sure that

:17:47. > :17:53.various settings are turned off. Make sure that a password has to be

:17:53. > :17:58.entered every time you sign on all stock that is the best way. What

:17:58. > :18:04.happens if it is already too late? You look at a mobile phone and

:18:04. > :18:10.realise your son or daughter has racked up a huge mobile bill. What

:18:10. > :18:14.happens? First of all contact your Internet provider and find out why

:18:14. > :18:19.this happened and say you are not satisfied. If you do not get a

:18:19. > :18:27.satisfactory answer, go to the citizens advice bureau for there is

:18:27. > :18:30.redress available. It is a problem all year round, but especially after

:18:30. > :18:35.Christmas when many teenagers get new mobile phones or computers. The

:18:35. > :18:41.message to parents is be on your guard, especially in the New Year.

:18:41. > :18:57.The idea is to ensure that when it comes to applications, the cost does

:18:57. > :18:59.not spoil the fun. Sport and after concerns over the

:18:59. > :19:02.redevelopment of Windsor Football stadium, the Sports Minister has

:19:02. > :19:05.today stressed the project remains on target. Stephen Watson is here.

:19:06. > :19:08.Caral Ni Chuilin remains confident that ongoing issues about the

:19:08. > :19:11.governance of the Irish football association, that threaten the

:19:11. > :19:13.release of funding for the redevelopment of Windsor Park, can

:19:13. > :19:15.be resolved. She also confirmed today she expects the new stadium to

:19:15. > :19:19.be resolved. She also confirmed be completed on time by June 2015.

:19:19. > :19:24.Mark Sidebottom has been following developments in this long-running

:19:24. > :19:31.saga and joins me now. Remind us of why there is a problem about why the

:19:31. > :19:33.eye -- about how the IFA is run. It is all a little muddy and

:19:33. > :19:37.potentially getting muddier. The is all a little muddy and

:19:38. > :19:42.millions have been signed off on and things are good to go. Landing

:19:42. > :19:46.permission has been signed off on but there is blockage in the system

:19:46. > :19:51.which comes in the shape of David Morton, deputy President of the IFA.

:19:51. > :19:55.This is him. He is the former treasurer and back in 2010 when the

:19:55. > :20:00.organisation effectively dismissed and, after his role in the sacking

:20:00. > :20:05.of the then Chief Executive Howard Wells, which resulted in unfair

:20:05. > :20:10.dismissal and cause the Association £500,000. Stormont intervened and

:20:10. > :20:14.aimed at the IFA was not fit for purpose. In order for the

:20:14. > :20:22.organisation to disburse money they felt governance needed to be sorted

:20:22. > :20:29.out, new competency tests, etc. What happens is the IFA meets for its AGM

:20:29. > :20:36.and decides to get rid of the competency issues. David Martin runs

:20:36. > :20:48.for election and is re-elected. Very briefly, decal -- DCAL is confident

:20:48. > :20:52.this can be completed on time. Yes completion date is 2015. I think in

:20:52. > :20:58.the stand-off the government will blink first. It appears to me that

:20:58. > :21:02.David Martin will be allowed to stay on in his position. The compromise

:21:02. > :21:09.will be that the government will put in new stipulations which the IFA

:21:09. > :21:16.will sign up to. Is the money saved? Thank you.

:21:16. > :21:19.From sport facilities still to be finished, to an impressive new

:21:19. > :21:21.development that's just about complete. Tyrone gaelic football's

:21:21. > :21:25.Excellence Centre will officially open this weekend, but Thomas Kane

:21:25. > :21:33.has had a sneak preview around the facility today for BBC Newsline. BBC

:21:33. > :21:37.Newsline in 2008 we brought you the ambitious plans of Tyrone GAA to
