:00:00. > :00:23.Good evening, the headlines on BBC Newsline. The Ulster Unionists
:00:24. > :00:27.accuse Sinn Fein of bad faith over the Haass negotiations. I'm live
:00:28. > :00:37.with the latest. Also on the programme:
:00:38. > :00:44.the Orange order plans agreed Christmas parade. Condemnation of a
:00:45. > :00:48.gun attack on a teenage boy in Coleraine. The charity says it is
:00:49. > :00:53.time to ban all phones behind the wheel. -- a charity. Is an Irish
:00:54. > :00:56.World Cup bid about to get the green light? And the first spell of wintry
:00:57. > :00:59.weather sets in across Northern Ireland tonight. I'll have the full
:01:00. > :01:07.forecast for you later in the programme.
:01:08. > :01:12.The Ulster Unionist accused Sinn Fein of bad faith by
:01:13. > :01:15.publishing its submissions to the Haass Talks. The UUP's negotiator
:01:16. > :01:17.Tom Elliott says the parties had been asked to keep their proposals
:01:18. > :01:23.to the inter-party discussions confidential. Sinn Fein's ideas
:01:24. > :01:26.include making parade organisers pay for the cost of their events and
:01:27. > :01:30.erecting single flag posts in certain areas for Tricolours or
:01:31. > :01:41.Union flags. Our Political Editor Mark Devenport is at the talks hotel
:01:42. > :01:45.venue. Sinn Fein's decision to publish its submissions, what sort
:01:46. > :01:50.of surprise was that for you? It was a bit of a surprise, because whilst
:01:51. > :01:54.around 500 groups and individuals have given Richard Haass
:01:55. > :01:59.suggestions. In the sense of how the talks should tackle the problems of
:02:00. > :02:02.correct -- flags and parades, most have remained private. Sinn
:02:03. > :02:05.correct -- flags and parades, most today came out with three
:02:06. > :02:08.submissions and took off the table a deal they had previously done with
:02:09. > :02:14.the D a deal they had previously done with EDU people replacing the
:02:15. > :02:18.parades commission -- the D U P. As you have already indicated, they had
:02:19. > :02:23.an idea that parade organisations should be made more financially
:02:24. > :02:28.liable for the events they do, and then there was the organise -- idea
:02:29. > :02:33.from Gerry Kelly is about to explain which would see instead of a
:02:34. > :02:36.profusion of flags fluttering from various lamp posts, individual lamp
:02:37. > :02:42.post being erected in certain areas that could fly either the Irish
:02:43. > :02:48.tricolour or the union flag. We want a provision so that public spaces
:02:49. > :02:55.are dealt with, legislation for enforcement there. So we want
:02:56. > :02:57.are dealt with, legislation for have that in particular areas,
:02:58. > :03:00.rather than an area completely consumed with flags, whatever they
:03:01. > :03:08.may be, by the way. These are the ideas we are putting out that we
:03:09. > :03:10.want people to discuss. UUP were the first out of the negotiation door
:03:11. > :03:16.this morning. How did they respond to the Sinn Fein initiative? Not
:03:17. > :03:21.very impressed. Tom Elliott the Ulster Unionist did not like the
:03:22. > :03:24.element of the Sinn Fein document that it suggested an equality of
:03:25. > :03:29.treatment between the Irish trigger and the union flag. He said the
:03:30. > :03:32.union flag should have a special place as it is still in the UK in
:03:33. > :03:40.Northern Ireland. And he did not like the fact that Sinn plane had
:03:41. > :03:43.gone public. We were asked to respect the confidentiality and I
:03:44. > :03:48.raised the matter with Dublin house today. If Sinn Fein want to do that,
:03:49. > :03:52.a bit of bad faith from them, but you come to expect nothing more from
:03:53. > :03:58.Republicans. What was the reaction of Richard Haass to the fact that
:03:59. > :04:02.some details have been made public? He was more diplomatic than Tom
:04:03. > :04:05.Elliott. He confirmed he had initially asked the parties to
:04:06. > :04:09.submit their submissions in confidence but said it was up to
:04:10. > :04:13.them which documents they wanted to make public and when. He and his
:04:14. > :04:20.co-chair, Meghan O'Sullivan, repeated a determination to meet the
:04:21. > :04:25.deadline next month. Our goal was, is and will be to complete this work
:04:26. > :04:29.before the end of the year. That is, to reach agreement and to make a
:04:30. > :04:35.full report to the First Minister and Deputy First Minister and soon
:04:36. > :04:38.after to the public. I and we continue to believe that this goal
:04:39. > :04:45.and schedule are equal parts achievable and desirable. The Orange
:04:46. > :04:50.Order in Sandy Row have applied to march through Belfast City Centre on
:04:51. > :04:53.Saturday 14th December. The plan is to go from Sandy Row via Royal
:04:54. > :05:03.Avenue to Twaddell Avenue in North Belfast. The Parades Commission will
:05:04. > :05:07.make its ruling on December third. That is the first anniversary of the
:05:08. > :05:10.flag dispute. We learned today that since the protests began over the
:05:11. > :05:17.restricted flying of the union flag at the City Hall, 560 people have
:05:18. > :05:21.been charged or reported over the riots. 260 of them have been
:05:22. > :05:28.convicted and the police are still to locate more than 100 suspects.
:05:29. > :05:32.The police have released photographs of 150 suspects still wanted for
:05:33. > :05:37.questioning of 150 suspects still wanted for
:05:38. > :05:40.in Belfast earlier this year. The senior investigating officer from
:05:41. > :05:43.operation titan says anyone involved in rioting over the last 12 months
:05:44. > :05:49.or in the weeks ahead will be held accountable. By the way of update
:05:50. > :05:53.and reassurance to the commitment being made, I can tell you that
:05:54. > :05:59.already our investigations have resulted in 560 people being charged
:06:00. > :06:07.or reported. That is for a range of criminal offences. Remarkably, we
:06:08. > :06:15.have 260 people already convicted. And we are seeing increasingly
:06:16. > :06:18.custodial sentences handed down. There are growing concerns amongst
:06:19. > :06:22.the police, public and city businesses about planned protests to
:06:23. > :06:29.mark 12 months since the dispute began. I think it is pretty fluid at
:06:30. > :06:33.the moment, that is the honest description. A lot of people are
:06:34. > :06:36.still angry and we can understand it, and people are concerned about
:06:37. > :06:41.expressing their views on the street. They are entitled to do so
:06:42. > :06:46.but they have to act within the law. But the first anniversary of the
:06:47. > :06:50.controversy is just a fortnight away and the PS and I issued a timely
:06:51. > :07:05.reminder to anyone considering protesting -- the PSNI. The police
:07:06. > :07:08.say the shooting of a 15-year-old boy in Coleraine this morning was
:07:09. > :07:11.not just a crime but morally reprehensible. The teenager was
:07:12. > :07:15.wounded in both legs by a gang of masked men who forced their way into
:07:16. > :07:18.a house at Glebe Avenue in the Harpur's Hill area. Our northeast
:07:19. > :07:22.reporter David Maxwell has been to the
:07:23. > :07:30.housing estate on the outskirts of Coleraine. The attack took place
:07:31. > :07:34.before five o'clock. This is the street where the shooting took
:07:35. > :07:38.place. It is still cordoned off. I been able to speak to a few members
:07:39. > :07:41.of the public about what happened here and none of them wanted to
:07:42. > :07:47.appear on camera, but most used the same word to describe their
:07:48. > :07:50.feelings, discussed. Like the whole community I am shocked a 15-year-old
:07:51. > :07:55.boy could be treated in this way. It's not something we are used in
:07:56. > :08:02.Coleraine and certainly our future. I think it is disgusting to have to
:08:03. > :08:05.accept that level of savagery exists out there with three grown men with
:08:06. > :08:11.masks and baseball bats and revolvers were coming to a house at
:08:12. > :08:15.5am and mutilate the limits of a 15-year-old child. The 15-year-old
:08:16. > :08:20.victim was initially taken to the Causeway Hospital in Coleraine but
:08:21. > :08:22.has been transferred to the Royal Victoria in Belfast. Police are
:08:23. > :08:29.continuing to investigate who carried out the attack and why.
:08:30. > :08:33.There is no place in any civil Society for the shooting of
:08:34. > :08:37.children. It is not just a crime, it is morally reprehensible, and we
:08:38. > :08:41.continue to chase those people and try to put them before the courts.
:08:42. > :08:45.It is the third shooting in a week in North Antrim. Last week
:08:46. > :08:48.21-year-old man was shot in both legs in Port Rush and a man was
:08:49. > :08:53.injured in the arm after shots were in Ballymena -- Ballymoney. No
:08:54. > :08:57.arrests have been made in relation to the incidents and police are
:08:58. > :09:00.asking for information. Next the latest on the fight to maintain
:09:01. > :09:10.cardiac and surgical services at the Royal Belfast Hospital
:09:11. > :09:12.cardiac and surgical services at the Children. In April, experts said
:09:13. > :09:16.that while safe, surgery in Belfast was unsustainable and that patients
:09:17. > :09:18.should go to the children's hospital in Dublin. Some cases have been
:09:19. > :09:22.already been transferred there but BBC Newsline understands that the
:09:23. > :09:25.Stormont Health Minister is about to make a statement about the Royal.
:09:26. > :09:30.With the details, here's our health correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly.
:09:31. > :09:33.It has been a long and hard fought campaign. Over the past year,
:09:34. > :09:37.thousands have taken to the streets while public meetings up and down
:09:38. > :09:45.the country heard from families demanding that children's heart
:09:46. > :09:48.surgery be maintained in Belfast. The public outcry followed a
:09:49. > :09:54.national report which concluded that whilst safe, the unit at the Royal
:09:55. > :09:54.is not sustainable, partly due to not
:09:55. > :10:00.is not sustainable, partly due to performed and a senior surgeon June
:10:01. > :10:04.to retire this December. After listening to parents, Edwin Poots
:10:05. > :10:06.intervened and called for a separate review and consultation which
:10:07. > :10:09.recommended that the service be moved to Dublin. While some felt it
:10:10. > :10:14.was better than England, many believed that local health officials
:10:15. > :10:18.were not fighting Belfast's corner. We think that by the time the
:10:19. > :10:21.minister had got the vote, a lot of the ground work dismantling the
:10:22. > :10:25.service in Belfast had taken place and some of the damage done. We
:10:26. > :10:31.would hope that there is some way that the Minister can still maintain
:10:32. > :10:34.safe cardiac surgical services for children in Northern Ireland.
:10:35. > :10:39.Deciding what to do about the future of children's heart services in
:10:40. > :10:42.Belfast is perhaps one of the most emotive and toughest decisions
:10:43. > :10:46.facing the health minister. Having made an early commitment to the
:10:47. > :10:49.parents, he is now trying to marry their wishes with those of
:10:50. > :10:54.consultants working north and south of the border. In April, Edwin Poots
:10:55. > :10:59.and his Irish counterpart, James Reilly, agreed to set up an oil --
:11:00. > :11:02.an all Ireland child medical network. While there is disagreement
:11:03. > :11:08.over Dublin just providing the surgery, the BBC understands that
:11:09. > :11:11.Edwin Poots insists that will fast delivers on diagnostic and
:11:12. > :11:14.nonsurgical interventions, making it a centre of excellence for
:11:15. > :11:17.children's cardiology -- Belfast delivers. A unit that will also
:11:18. > :11:22.cater for the border counties. Politicians will give their report
:11:23. > :11:26.on the best outcome, and that's a dangerous road, because it is
:11:27. > :11:28.medical need. It's important politicians give the time and space
:11:29. > :11:33.for the best possible outcome for patient care. Both ministers have
:11:34. > :11:36.enlisted the care of a doctor who runs a similar double centre model
:11:37. > :11:39.in Boston, but runs a similar double centre model
:11:40. > :11:47.approaching December, time is running out. After their historic
:11:48. > :11:52.visit of the Queen to the Republic, President Higgins is to reciprocate.
:11:53. > :11:56.This time he will make history, on the first state visit of an Irish
:11:57. > :12:00.president to the UK. Here is our Dublin correspondence.
:12:01. > :12:06.Helping to banish the ghosts of the past. The Queen paying her respect
:12:07. > :12:13.to those Irish men and women who fought against her ancestors and
:12:14. > :12:16.forces. The moment, probably more than any other, that set the tone
:12:17. > :12:24.during her historic visit to Ireland.
:12:25. > :12:29.And it is in the afterglow of that occasion that President Higgins will
:12:30. > :12:37.make the return state visit to the UK, another first. It will be a
:12:38. > :12:41.visit drawing attention to the richness of this relationship, which
:12:42. > :12:45.is really, in terms of the people to people links, and the commercial
:12:46. > :12:50.links, a very unusually close relationship. And I think it will be
:12:51. > :12:53.a celebration of that, first and foremost. Although, of course, very
:12:54. > :13:00.important subjects like Northern Ireland will not be forgotten. And
:13:01. > :13:03.if the marching band outside Windsor Castle again played a sash, Northern
:13:04. > :13:10.Ireland certainly won't be forgotten. President Higgins will
:13:11. > :13:15.stay with the Royal family at the more homely Windsor residence rather
:13:16. > :13:18.than Buckingham Palace. Another indication of the warm and deep
:13:19. > :13:23.relations that now exist between the two states. The official programme
:13:24. > :13:29.has yet to two states. The official programme
:13:30. > :13:33.the coming months officials here, at the President's home, and their
:13:34. > :13:36.British counterparts, will finalise the details. President Higgins will
:13:37. > :13:40.be the special guest at a state banquet, as protocol for such visits
:13:41. > :13:46.demands. The news has been widely welcomed both by officials in
:13:47. > :13:49.Ireland and ordinary people. Anything to promote good relations
:13:50. > :13:54.is a good idea. Queen Elizabeth came over here, so it's fair we return
:13:55. > :13:57.the favour as well. I think we should unite the two states as much
:13:58. > :14:04.as we can, and hopefully something good will come of it. I don't mind,
:14:05. > :14:07.as long as everyone is happy. That's all right. The three-day state visit
:14:08. > :14:14.will begin on the 8th of April. One of the six people wrongly jailed
:14:15. > :14:18.over the Birmingham pub bombings is helping the families of the victims
:14:19. > :14:22.to find out what really happened. 21 people were killed in the attacks 39
:14:23. > :14:29.years ago this week. As Anthony Bartram reports, there's still hope
:14:30. > :14:31.for justice among their relatives. Brian and Julie Hambleton's sister

:14:54. > :15:00.nice to meet you. You have got so many people around you. Surprisingly
:15:01. > :15:03.few of those affected by the bombings know each other. Julie and

:15:24. > :15:31.going through it and my heart goes out to you. Ladies and gentlemen,
:15:32. > :15:34.for 16.5 years, we have been... At many of the Victors' families feel
:15:35. > :15:39.they have been forgotten in the controversy -- many of the victim 's
:15:40. > :15:45.families. 22 years after their release, one of them is now offering
:15:46. > :15:55.to help the family but can they accept? And stand how those people
:15:56. > :15:57.feel. They have had years of something to focus their anger on
:15:58. > :16:03.and of course their anger was focused on us. I have a similar
:16:04. > :16:10.anger that might anger is focused on the West Midlands serious crime
:16:11. > :16:22.squad. The meeting took those at Warrington's his foundation. It is
:16:23. > :16:25.in our DNA that we were told that you were the ringleader of the
:16:26. > :16:31.so-called Birmingham six. And as far as I was concerned, you killed her
:16:32. > :16:34.sister and the other 20 innocent people. I understand that, you don't
:16:35. > :16:40.have to tell me, I know what they said. I would love to see my country
:16:41. > :16:45.united but I had nothing to do with the IRA. It is the 39th anniversary

:17:11. > :17:16.the start of Road Safety Week which shows many motorists are still using

:17:23. > :17:26.motorists in Northern Ireland were fined last year for using a phone at
:17:27. > :17:30.the wheel. It is illegal to use a mobile phone while driving and the
:17:31. > :17:35.Department of Transport says that if you do, you are four times more
:17:36. > :17:39.likely to crash. But this survey suggests that many motorists,
:17:40. > :17:46.despite the warnings, still not hanging up when out on the road. We
:17:47. > :17:49.would like to see a ban on phone use at the wheel extended to

:17:58. > :18:01.like to see that but up to ?1000 to really send a strong message out to
:18:02. > :18:06.drivers that this is not OK, not acceptable. Some drivers say they
:18:07. > :18:12.would be in favour of tougher fines. I do quite a lot of miles and I see
:18:13. > :18:19.a lot of people text in or even phoning and it is very dangerous. I
:18:20. > :18:26.think that something to stop people from using their mobile phones in
:18:27. > :18:30.the car while driving would be good. I see lots of people driving with
:18:31. > :18:35.mobile phones, the police and camera should pick it up as well. Brake

:18:52. > :18:58.hands. When they are in the car, the message must be taken to them that
:18:59. > :19:01.they are driving with a phone and it should not happen. People have to
:19:02. > :19:07.know the dangers when they are my age because we all get really

:19:30. > :19:31.The Irish Government is close to deciding on a bid for the Rugby
:19:32. > :19:35.World Cup in 2023. The proposal will go to Cabinet tomorrow for

:19:45. > :19:48.This is what the Irish sports minister had to say today pulled up
:19:49. > :19:54.the response has been hugely enthusiastic. They asked us to do

:21:47. > :21:54.we are used to playing. I enjoy defending against them. It is one of
:21:55. > :21:56.those things. A bruising encounter against the Wallabies for Joe

:22:54. > :23:02.side's three goals and while they were given hope after a goalkeeping
:23:03. > :23:03.error cut the deficit to two points, Glenswilly finished stronger to book

:26:02. > :26:05.Most nights, we can expect Frost and the potential for icy roads. A bit
:26:06. > :26:09.of snow in places tonight and tomorrow morning and it is quite
:26:10. > :26:14.common that we get our first taste of snow during the second-half of

:26:20. > :26:23.strong winds. The main hazard tonight is ice, we can expect
:26:24. > :26:26.temperatures to fall below zero and the combination of wet surfaces and
:26:27. > :26:31.low temperatures will mean there will be ice in places. We had some

:26:55. > :26:57.snow in places particularly over the high ground in the north-west but
:26:58. > :27:02.not exclusively. Any significant snow up to three centimetres will be
:27:03. > :27:06.overly higher ground. With icy roads, that will mean some difficult
