That is all from BBC News At Six, I will be back with more from

Good evening. One of four brothers accused of a double murder tells a

court that one of the victims sexually abused him. A tribute in

Larne that caused a right royal row with the planning service. We

investigate why motorists may not be getting their cars fixed with the

parts they expect. The road surface says the new bus lane system in

Belfast is working. We will be hearing from those who agree and

those who do not. Qualification for Euro 2016. A big target for Northern

Ireland as the IFA launches its new five-year plan. And fed up with the

grey? Well, there is some blue sky on the horizon but it comes at a

cost. I'll be back with the full forecast.

One of four brothers on trial for double murder has recalled in court

the sexual abuse he suffered as a child at the hands of one of the

victims. child at the hands of one of the

turned 24 when he and his brothers attacked the County Armagh home of

Thomas O'Hare and Lisa McClatchey in November 2006.

Our south-east reporter The Deputy First Minister, Martin McGuinness,

has said he believes the UVF this tiny village in County Armagh

is where the story reaching the conclusion in the courthouse had its

beginnings. Today, Thomas O Hare is dead and Steven Smith and his

brothers stand accused of his murder. He struggled to keep his

emotions in check as he talked about the abuse and repercussions it had

for his family he spoke about the shame he felt as a child. Several

people wept openly in the public gallery. Stephen Smith said the

abuse had been, for the Smith family, a disaster. Like brothers

before him, Ian insists when they came here, killing Thomas O'Hair was

not part of the plan. He said things started to go wrong when he started

to put up stiff resistance. There was a fight in the kitchen. He fled

along the wall and into the kitchen. He punched and kicked him

several times in the living room and left him up against the city. He met

Lisa McClatchey in the hallway. He says this is the first time he met

her. She asked him what was going to happen. He tried to reassure her and

said they were going to burn the house but nothing would happen to

her. The house exploded. Prosecuting lawyer said killing Thomas O'Hair

had always been the plan and he replied, there is not a hope of me

getting involved with that. I would not have touched her - none of us

would have. She looked like a child. The Deputy First Minister, Martin

McGuinness, has said he believes the UVF are behind a parade in Belfast

planned for Saturday. A group calling itself Loyal Peaceful

Protesters has been granted permission to march from the City

Hall to the Shankill Road. The parade is to mark a year since

Belfast City Council voted parade is to mark a year since

restrict the flying of the union flag. In the Assembly, Mr McGuinness

said he believed loyalist paramilitaries were organising it. I

do not have any doubt as to who is organising this parade. It is being

organised by the UVF and has been supported by elements within the

Orange order. I think there clearly is the responsibility on the

Progressive Unionist party, as they call themselves, to recognise the

damage that can be done if these protests continue. The Progressive

Unionist Party, which has links to the UVF, says the UVF is not

involved. It is not the UVF organising it. These are ordinary

people. These are ordinary and decent people with genuine concerns

about the way of life, the fact that the things they believe in are being

infringed. They have that right to come out in protest. Who is

organising the parade? Our reporter has been looking into this. If you

want to hold a parade, you have to fill in one of these forms. It goes

to the parades commission. There is a space for the name of a person

organising the parade. An individual is officially responsible for the

march. We know the organisation is calling itself Loyal Peaceful

Protesters. They were not able to tell us the name of the person who

filled in the form. The police tell us the name of the person who

are not able to say publicly who organised it but they do know him

and have been in touch and are liaising with him in the run-up to

the parade. What are the restrictions? Up to 10,000 people

can take part. The parades commission has ruled the parade has

two have left City Hall by 12 noon and be clear of the junction of

Royal Avenue and North Street by late afternoon. There are postings

which suggests people are being asked to assemble at 1pm which was

the original time. Both unionist and nationalist politicians are

appealing for the March to stay peaceful. Still to come... Conor

Macauley has been investigating. If you had a crash and put the repair

through your insurance company, would you assume the car is being

fixed with manufacturers parts? That may not always be the case. A

controversial sculpture in Larne which was put up without planning

approval is to remain there until December 2015 when it will have to

be removed. The metal crown was put up by the council to commemorate the

Queen's Jubilee. This is the Lan Crown, the dual in

the diamond jubilee celebrations. It was paid for and put up by the

council last year. When it was erected, it did not have everyone's

approval. It was put up without the necessary planning permission. It

went ahead regardless. Planning was applied for. Due to time

constraints, it had to be put into position in time for that you

believe. We were under the assumption that there could be

problems and it may have to come down but it did not happen. One

councillor said it has put the town on the map. Tourists are coming to

see it. They are bringing their money and spending it and enjoying

the Crown. Others believe it is divisive. If this is to be a shared

space, this is not a shared space. I would like to see some other type of

public art which is reflective of something to do with tourism as a

welcoming project. After 18 months on display, the people gave their

reaction. It is very nice in the middle of a roundabout. I thought at

the time it was a waste of money because it looked as if it were made

of ten. It is nice for people to see it. Cyan -- I think it is fantastic

and should stay there for ever more. Planners agreed to the request to

keep it as a temporary structure. It has planning consent but only on

permission the Crown will be removed by December 2015. A judge has found

that a County Antrim man and his family suffered discrimination after

they were turned away from a Belfast bar for wearing poppies. Ted Cook

took the case against Britannic ins, the owners of the bar. After they

were turned away by your staff in November. Britannic Inns Has gone

into administration and he was awarded ?1 in costs. While motorists

are always looking for a better deal with their insurance, the companies

themselves are also keen to cut costs. Conor Macauley has been

investigating what happens when someone crashes their car and

repairs are paid for through the insurance. He has discovered that,

perhaps without their knowledge, cheaper replica parts are used.

In his busy County Down body shot, the owner is hard at work, putting

another damaged car back into shape. He does a lot of work through

insurance companies and says, since the summer, he has been contacted

twice by access to -- asking him to fix cheaper rather than

manufacturers parts. He said he was not happy about it. The engineers

department informed me that, where possible, if they cancelled a part

that is not a manufacturer 's part and is cheaper, they will use it in

the repair. I informed them the only time I would do that is if I

the repair. I informed them the only their customer I am doing it. There

are savings but there are differences. This is the wing of a

golfer -- a Volkswagen golf. On the genuine 1... This is from the

manufacturer. It is ?136 approximately. It is ?100 dearer. I

would be keen to fix this one because it is nowhere near as weak

as the other one and they put a better coating on it to make it more

rust proof. It is better quality. If you drive oppressed each car, the

potential savings are even bigger. To my untrained eye, these are

indistinguishable that To my untrained eye, these are

replica and this one is the manufacturers part. In the detail of

the policy documents you will find reference to the use of such parts.

Most drivers never read the small print and seem surprised when we

told them. I would feel very upset. Sometimes it is in your policy

booklet that comes along with your insurance certificate. Hubby read

your policy booklet? -- have you read your policy booklet? I do skim

through it but I do not think I would read every single page. A

group representing 50 body shot is held a news conference to highlight

the issue. We do need to know how widespread it is. -- we do not

know. We would like widespread it is. -- we do not

widespread it is. They said they would fix cost-effective parts on a

car over three years old unless there is a performance and safety

reason not to. They say the parts reach specifications and will not

compromise the safety or value of the vehicle. The parts covered by a

lifetime warranty provided the car is not sold on. It is clear with

customers about this and is in the policy documents. They say they do

not hide it and do not encourage the repair is to do so. In the meantime,

the independent body shops want the consumer Council to work with them

to produce a know your rights leaflet to motorists involved in

collisions. Commuters have been adapting to the

nearest bus lanes for more than a year now. The Roads Service things

they are working with more public transport use.

When it works, it really works. Bus lanes can make a huge difference to

passengers coming into Belfast, but the city centre roads can be

frustratingly busy. Bus lanes are just one factor. The question is, do

they help the problem or just make it worse? They encourage people to

use more public transport. I don't think people know which direction

they're supposed to be going in. The traffic is very light. We have

they're supposed to be going in. The no issues coming in. The Roads

Service told the city Council that the number of bus journeys by people

in Belfast has increased. From April to August of last year, to this

year, it was up by 120,000. Of all commuters on the road at peak times,

between 40% and 65% are on the buses, using up just one lane of

traffic. Those buses make up just 10% of the vehicles on the road. On

the face of it, 120,000 extra bus journeys in just five months seems

like a vindication of the new bus lanes. But there are people who

worry about the overall number of visitors to Belfast by any kind of

transport, and they fear the bus lanes might be driving some of them

away. When business is seeing increased sales everywhere except in

its Belfast store. The centre is booming. Out of town are doing well.

When it is Saturday and people decide where to go shopping, they

will go to the far side or the centre, because it is easier. People

just refer to the one-way system. They feel they cannot get into

town. Overall, the number of visitors to the city centre will not

drop. We will know the answer to that in a few weeks. The Roads

Service will release its studies on the traffic flow in the new year.

About 450 homes are without power at the moment. One power company says

the power has been called by -- caused by a cable fault and

engineers are at the scene. This is in the Newry area.

Many people are beginning to look forward to Christmas, now less than

a month away, but it's also a difficult time for families who are

struggling to pay bills and make ends meet. Today, here at the BBC in

Belfast, children accompanied by the Salvation Army band helped launch

the annual Family Appeal, which tries to help those in need. Last

Christmas, more than 13,000 children received gifts donated to the

appeal. The organising charities this year the demand for help is

even greater. Families come to us from all across the spectrum. Some

families who helped out are now appealing because of the harsh

economic climate that is out there. What we are trying to do is, the

idea of giving just something extra at Christmas time. Each family, each

child will receive a small number of toys and gifts, just to give that

extra bit that somebody cares at Christmas time. We do not pretend it

solves all of the problems, but just the idea that somebody cares and

someone has thought about them, and to just raise their hope and give

them a bit of joy. Stay with us. In a few minutes, a

report from our arts correspondent who doesn't do sport. But tonight

she does. These two guys played for Northern Ireland against Brazil in

the World Cup. Now there is a film being made about the story!

The Irish Football Association have unveiled their vision for the

future, and they're aiming high. Northern Ireland to qualify for the

next European Championships or World Cup finals, that is a key objective

in the IFA's new five-year strategy. There are six long term targets for

the game here at international and domestic level, but it's that goal

of reaching a major tournament which stands out. Not Brazil and not in

Brazil for that matter, after three decades of hurt, the IFA has set out

its mission to stop northern -- set out its mission. Over to you,

Michael. You have to have that aspiration. I have to say, for the

European Championships, we do not have that many players who will come

in and change our squads. Our young layers, we have high expectations

but they are very young. I think a good start in the campaign is always

important. We saw Iceland get to the playoffs. That always gives us hope.

I believe we can continue to mold this group of players. But will the

national team have a new national stadium to play in? Another key

objective. We are a long way through the procurement process now, and

like with all the projects, there are little hurdles in the way. We

are almost up to all of this, and we will hopefully be on site in Winter

Park in early 2014. Behind the scenes, does the IFA have the right

team to deliver? David Martin had scenes, does the IFA have the right

previously failed compensate -- competency tests. We are not

personalizing any of these matters at all. We are an organisation that

has a Council, a wide membership, and strong governance. If all goes

to plan, it is France 2016 or it may be Russia 2018. And you can see that

interview with the IFA Chief Executive in full, and more on the

five year strategy on the BBC sport website.

Eoin Bradley is perhaps best known as an all star Gaelic footballer.

But, with five goals in nine games for Coleraine since signing in

September, he's made a name for himself in the Irish League. He's

already said he won't play in the McKenna Cup with Derry, but

already said he won't play in the future with the county may be in

jeopardy if he continues to play for Coleraine.

Bradley has got to go low! One of the best forwards in Gaelic

football, but his sporting future may not be with Derry. That is

because Bradley is one of a number of Gaelic football players playing

soccer in the Irish League. Bradley has a decision to make, however, the

Coleraine striker is having a copper mines can be made so he can play

both. -- a compromise. We will just see how it will go. I am enjoying

it. I was chatting about that. After Christmas, I am hoping

it. I was chatting about that. After for both. I would just have to play

it by ear and see what happens. I understand where he is coming from.

He is 29. He is a big fella. I am sure he will make his own decision.

We are glad to have him on board at this part in time. Sean O'Neal

picked soccer. It was a difficult decision. But the goalkeeper

believes you cannot play both. It is a tough decision. I mean, of course

I would say that you could try it out to start, but what it comes down

to the crunch, you have to end up picking between one or the other. It

is good. Players, people do not want to say it, but I think it would be a

big shame if he did to say it, but I think it would be a

Derry next year. He doesn't want to miss the league on Sunday. Just have

to see how it goes, really, around January or February. There will be a

test that will be even more difficult if they were our without

Eoin Bradley -- if they are without Eoin Bradley. Tough decisions for

Eoin Bradley. Are you looking forward to rolling back the years?

The year 1986 is imprinted in the minds of Northern Ireland football

fans because that's when the team faced Brazil in the World Cup. A

movie is being made in Belfast at the moment which will rekindle those

memories. Even our non-footballing art correspondent can appreciate its

importance. It is a small budget movie for a big

hearted story. It uses the 1986 World Cup David and Goliath clash

between Northern Ireland and Brazil as the backdrop for what is being

described as a feel-good movie. It all began with the fond memories of

a rookie Northern Ireland player. You are about to walk through

tunnel. The noise was unbelievable and the heat was incredible. It was

a 12 o'clock kick-off. As a 21-year-old, I can say I was a wee

bit nervous. The writer wrote a play about sectarianism in Northern

Ireland football, but she got such but but -- criticism about that,

this is her way of making it up to the Northern Ireland fans. After

that, I came back to Windsor Park and bought season tickets, because I

wanted to be part of that. I think I have done that. John Hannah plays

the manager, and he admits to a bit of a problem getting his head around

the accent. If you listen to Billy, I did not even know he was Irish. It

is quite a dilemma. For people who do not know Billy, and you know me

as an actor, I could easily come across as just a very bad Irish

accent. Our own -- and there is another dead ringer. I have seen a

photograph of you I am saying, and my wife thought it was me. -- who I

was playing. One man was epochal. To make a film about Northern Ireland

and Brazil, at the time Brazil were having the World Cup, it is just a

fantasy. The film will be released on the anniversary of the Northern

Ireland match in 1986. I think that he is a dead ringer for

Jackie. I am not sure, though. How is the weather looking? We're

looking at a change for Friday. Some colder weather coming our way. It is

going to get colder on Friday. It has been very great today, but the

cloud is very thin, and we have had some really nice sunset e-mailed and

we did to us. -- tweeted. There is a lot of cloud around, and that

clouding is relatively mild. As I mentioned, it is going to turn

colder on Friday. I can show you the big picture. The high pressure that

has been bringing the quiet weather, that is moving away. A cold

and strong wind is following him from the North West. We have had

very little wind around for the last few days. It will feel much colder

through Friday and Saturday. Tonight, it is dry. There will be a

lot of cloud around. Look at that. No frost anywhere tonight. A fairly

mild nights to come. It should feel milder during the day as well. Last

week we had temperatures of five or six and today we managed seven or

eight. Tomorrow we are looking at about nine or ten. The morning

should be largely dry, even a bit of rightness, and if we are lucky,

there will be a knife of a hole in the clouds to let some sunshine

through. There he lay winds. Temperatures were slightly higher

than today, up to 10 degrees. -- very low winds. That is a bit about

what it should be for this time of year. Not too bad a day for

tomorrow. Most places dry, but there will be some damn this developing

tomorrow night and into Thursday. -- some wetness developing. The cold

wind will pick up on Friday. Our late summary is at 10:25pm here on

BBC One. That is all for now. Thank you for watching. Goodbye. Take

care. eastern seaboard indicate torrential
