That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's

:00:00.:00:13.

Good evening. The headlines on BBC Newsline: A father and uncle are

:00:14.:00:20.

found guilty of a series of sex offences against two children.

:00:21.:00:23.

I'm live in Coleraine with the latest.

:00:24.:00:34.

Also on the programme this evening: tributes are paid to the actress

:00:35.:00:38.

Leila Webster, who has died at the age of 90.

:00:39.:00:44.

The GAA says it wishes it had handled the concerns of residents at

:00:45.:00:50.

Casement Park differently. As a shared education campus gets under

:00:51.:00:53.

way neuroma, we find out how the Scottish system has been working.

:00:54.:00:57.

-- neuroma. As the Ulster captain Johann Muller confirms he's hanging

:00:58.:01:00.

up his boots, Paul O'Connell returns to lead Ireland against Wales.

:01:01.:01:03.

And we get some more sunshine to enjoy tomorrow, but the next batch

:01:04.:01:07.

of wet and windy weather is just waiting to pounce.

:01:08.:01:14.

A horrific sex abuse case has ended at Coleraine Crown Court with two

:01:15.:01:17.

brothers both convicted of a string of offences. The victims were the

:01:18.:01:24.

son and daughter of one of the men. The trial came about after they went

:01:25.:01:28.

to the police in 2012 and said they'd been subjected to years of

:01:29.:01:32.

abuse as children. For legal reasons, we cannot tell you the

:01:33.:01:37.

names of those convicted. David Maxwell has been following the

:01:38.:01:49.

trial. Yes, the jury here at Coleraine Crown Court have been

:01:50.:01:51.

deliberating for the best part of two days after a three-week trial,

:01:52.:01:55.

but by mid-afternoon they reached majority verdicts in most of the

:01:56.:01:59.

charges, which included rape. You may find some of the details

:02:00.:02:04.

distressing. This trial heard stories of

:02:05.:02:07.

unimaginable abuse against two children. At one point, the female

:02:08.:02:11.

victim told the court she was raped by men during drunken parties as

:02:12.:02:14.

they watched pornography. Her brother told the court he too was

:02:15.:02:17.

regularly sexually assaulted and threatened that if he told anyone,

:02:18.:02:21.

the same would be done to a younger brother. The jury also heard of how

:02:22.:02:24.

both children were punched and had cigarettes stubbed out on their

:02:25.:02:28.

bodies by those who were supposed to love them. This abuse went on for

:02:29.:02:31.

years during the 1990s, stopping only when contact with their father

:02:32.:02:41.

was completely severed in 1997. The daughter made initial complaints to

:02:42.:02:44.

police and social services the following year, but the full horror

:02:45.:02:47.

of what had happened wasn't revealed until both children made statements

:02:48.:02:51.

to the authorities in May 2012. 15 years on, there was little physical

:02:52.:02:54.

evidence which could be called upon in this trial. No forensic or DNA

:02:55.:02:58.

testing could be carried out. And a medical examination of the daughter

:02:59.:03:02.

who said she was raped 1000 times proved inconclusive. But the jury in

:03:03.:03:07.

this trial did hear from both those who made the claims of abuse and all

:03:08.:03:12.

of the accused. Today they decided the victims were telling the truth

:03:13.:03:15.

about the cruelty they suffered growing up with a father and uncle

:03:16.:03:19.

who would use them for their own sexual gratification. They found the

:03:20.:03:26.

father guilty of 31 offences in total and the uncle guilty of seven

:03:27.:03:35.

charges. The day before this trial began, both of these men pleaded

:03:36.:03:43.

guilty to a series of offences against their own sister in the

:03:44.:03:48.

1970s and 1980s. . All three of the victims were in court today. Two of

:03:49.:03:51.

them wept as the verdict was delivered. Jurors were told that due

:03:52.:03:55.

to the graphic nature of this trial they need never serve on a jury

:03:56.:04:01.

panel again. Both of the men convicted today will be sentenced

:04:02.:04:03.

next month. You're watching BBC Newsline. Coming

:04:04.:04:06.

up shortly: The business lobby demands urgent action as a Stormont

:04:07.:04:14.

plan fails to spark export growth. Tributes have been paid to the

:04:15.:04:17.

Belfast actress and comedienne Leila Webster, who died this morning. She

:04:18.:04:24.

was 90 years old. She had a varied career, working alongside

:04:25.:04:26.

world-famous stars like Bob Hope and Josef Locke. Mervyn Jess's report

:04:27.:04:38.

starts with Leila herself. Maybe you could tell us what shape is the

:04:39.:04:44.

world in? My mammy says a hell of a shape. That is the broad Belfast

:04:45.:04:56.

accent. Leila Webster was one of Northern Ireland's best known and

:04:57.:04:59.

most admired entertainers. She was a singer, an actress and a comedienne.

:05:00.:05:04.

He says I would love to run my fingers through your hair. I said

:05:05.:05:08.

just said there and I will throw it over to you. Dennison Mahood was a

:05:09.:05:12.

manager in the Arts Theatre in Belfast when Leila was treading the

:05:13.:05:15.

boards. The likes of Liam Neeson, giving Nesbitt, Dan Gordon, I used

:05:16.:05:20.

to watch them at the side of the stage and they would watch her

:05:21.:05:24.

timing and they said they learned a lot from her timing. It was superb.

:05:25.:05:28.

Born in Rutland Street in the Lower Ormeau, she went on to appear

:05:29.:05:30.

alongside -- she had a difficult childhood.

:05:31.:05:38.

She suffered a nervous breakdown and suffered from agoraphobia which

:05:39.:05:43.

meant she wouldn't leave the house. One day her father arrived with the

:05:44.:05:49.

piano and an entertainer was born who would go one to appear with

:05:50.:05:55.

stars like Josef Locke and Bob Hope. The night I worked with Bob Hope.

:05:56.:06:01.

Bob Hope was one of the biggest stars on the planet and he turned up

:06:02.:06:05.

at the Empire and she was on the same bill so she knocked on his

:06:06.:06:10.

dressing room door. He opened it and she didn't know what to save because

:06:11.:06:16.

she knew what he was thinking. We were commenting on the staff or

:06:17.:06:22.

Leila in Glen Gall Street, like the Holywood walk of Fame, there is

:06:23.:06:28.

Leila. That's a lovely coat you have on. Is it hard to keep clean? Leila

:06:29.:06:32.

Webster died this morning, aged 90. Leila Webster, described today as

:06:33.:06:43.

the last of the great showgirls. A 63-year-old man has died in a road

:06:44.:06:46.

crash near Aughnacloy. He was walking on Monaghan Road at about

:06:47.:06:49.

10:30am this morning when he was hit by a car. A 51-year-old man has been

:06:50.:06:53.

arrested in connection with the incident. The police have appealed

:06:54.:06:56.

for witnesses to the collision to contact them. Members of the

:06:57.:06:59.

Policing Board have voted to formally reject a plan by the

:07:00.:07:02.

Justice Minister to introduce new rules for the appointment of a new

:07:03.:07:06.

Chief Constable. David Ford had sparked a political row when he said

:07:07.:07:10.

he wanted to change the rules shortly after Matt Baggott announced

:07:11.:07:15.

his intention to retire. Our home affairs correspondent Vincent

:07:16.:07:21.

Kearney reports. There were smiles and best wishes for a Matt Baggott

:07:22.:07:27.

at the first meeting of the Policing Board since he announced his

:07:28.:07:30.

intention to retire. Then a reminder he is not yet yesterday's man. You

:07:31.:07:37.

haven't left yet and there is still work to be done and a lot of

:07:38.:07:41.

discussions to be had in the coming weeks. The process to replace them

:07:42.:07:48.

will start next month. Justice Minister David Ford has said he

:07:49.:07:52.

planned to change the rules and remove a requirement for applicants

:07:53.:07:57.

to have served at least two years as an Assistant Chief Constable outside

:07:58.:08:01.

Northern Ireland. The board today agreed to reject that proposal and

:08:02.:08:05.

told the minister it intends to use the existing rules for this process.

:08:06.:08:10.

That means Assistant Chief Constable George Hamilton, who was not up to

:08:11.:08:16.

date's meeting, is the only senior PSNI officer who can apply. It is

:08:17.:08:20.

understood the board would like the process to be complete by June.

:08:21.:08:26.

Deputy Chief Constable Judith Gillespie will also retire next

:08:27.:08:30.

month. Sitting beside her today or two contenders for her job,

:08:31.:08:34.

assistant chief constables Alistair Fenley and will care. Just two seats

:08:35.:08:39.

away, another possible runner, Drew Harris. The First and Deputy First

:08:40.:08:47.

Ministers told David Ford they will make the final decision on proposed

:08:48.:08:51.

changes to the rules for pointing the next Chief Constable. They have

:08:52.:08:56.

now written to him saying they intend sticking to the current rules

:08:57.:09:00.

which means any change is very unlikely.

:09:01.:09:06.

And an update on a story we brought you last month on prison service

:09:07.:09:09.

pay. Staff who joined after 2002 are to get a special payment because of

:09:10.:09:13.

the threat from dissident republicans. The move comes in the

:09:14.:09:16.

week that a man appeared in court charged with killing David Black,

:09:17.:09:19.

the first prison officer to be murdered by paramilitaries in nearly

:09:20.:09:22.

20 years. The Justice Minister says the required ?1.6 million for the

:09:23.:09:25.

security payments have been found in the current budget.

:09:26.:09:31.

A leading official in the GAA says the organisation could have done

:09:32.:09:33.

better in its handling of negotiations with residents opposed

:09:34.:09:36.

to the redevelopment of Casement Park in West Belfast. And he has

:09:37.:09:42.

told the BBC he takes responsibility. It's understood the

:09:43.:09:45.

association is considering offering to buy the homes of some people

:09:46.:09:48.

living next to the ?75 million project. With this exclusive report,

:09:49.:09:55.

here's our political correspondent Gareth Gordon. The game is up for

:09:56.:10:01.

the old Casement Park, closed now to all but workmen. And this will be

:10:02.:10:05.

the new Casement Park. ?75 million, 38,000 seats. But there's a problem.

:10:06.:10:11.

Residents whose homes skirt the proposed arena say they've been

:10:12.:10:15.

overlooked. Anger spilled over when two Executive ministers came to

:10:16.:10:17.

announce planning permission had been granted. This woman has invited

:10:18.:10:22.

Planning Minister Mark H Durkan to visit her home. She fears the rear

:10:23.:10:27.

extension used by her son, who has walking difficulties, will lose all

:10:28.:10:34.

its natural light. We are not a statistic. This is our life. Our son

:10:35.:10:41.

is in this room quite a bit and we want him to come but we have had no

:10:42.:10:46.

answer. Now, for the first time, the GAA has said it wished it had

:10:47.:10:49.

handled the concerns in a different way. I would pull my hands up and

:10:50.:10:53.

say perhaps there are things we could've done better in terms of

:10:54.:10:58.

engaging the residents. I led that process but I assure everyone the G8

:10:59.:11:03.

have been transparent and open in everything we have done. We have

:11:04.:11:10.

knocked on 300 daughters and had a three-week consultation process. We

:11:11.:11:17.

went above and beyond what we have to do in the consultation process.

:11:18.:11:17.

It is a matter of regret we find to do in the consultation process.

:11:18.:11:22.

ourselves in the situation where we have local GAA members who are

:11:23.:11:27.

opposed to this project and I want them to discuss this with us and we

:11:28.:11:35.

will alleviate their concerns. I understand the GAA is currently

:11:36.:11:38.

rethinking its strategy to the point where it might offer to buy some of

:11:39.:11:41.

the residents' houses. This is one of the homes worst affected. So

:11:42.:11:48.

would they sell? We have to think about it. I do not think we can

:11:49.:11:52.

continue living here with a development that scale in the side

:11:53.:11:56.

garden. The GAA wants to avoid the threat of legal action, which could

:11:57.:11:59.

endanger its 2016 target date. And you can see more on that story

:12:00.:12:05.

on The View tonight at 10:35pm just after our late BBC Newsline

:12:06.:12:09.

bulletin. Still ahead on the programme before 7pm: Why the only

:12:10.:12:13.

way is up for a local motorcyclist who's signed for a new team in the

:12:14.:12:15.

World Superbike series. A leading business organisation says

:12:16.:12:25.

the Stormont Executive is failing on one of its key economic policies -

:12:26.:12:28.

helping more firms export goods overseas. It's calling for an urgent

:12:29.:12:35.

action plan, as our business correspondent Julian O'Neill

:12:36.:12:42.

reports. EMS Recycle might be based in Tyrone, but it sells waste

:12:43.:12:47.

treatment products to the world. Recently, Nigeria was added to its

:12:48.:12:51.

customer list. Business abroad has created jobs at home. Any company

:12:52.:13:01.

that has a proven product entering the world market should not depend

:13:02.:13:08.

on the European market. Stormont want more firms to think big. Our

:13:09.:13:12.

exports to the eurozone have been falling. New territory has been

:13:13.:13:15.

explored like the Middle East and India. But overall, fewer companies

:13:16.:13:19.

are exporting than two years ago, and Stormont's aim to increase

:13:20.:13:23.

exports by 20% by 2015 is proving a huge struggle. Mark Nodder is boss

:13:24.:13:33.

of export growth is one of the main

:13:34.:13:40.

cornerstones of the economic recovery plan, but a question has

:13:41.:13:47.

been raised about whether the economic strategy is matching

:13:48.:13:53.

expectations. Mark Nodder is president of the Chamber of

:13:54.:13:56.

Commerce. He says an urgent action plan is needed and claimed the

:13:57.:14:01.

Republic gave its firms better help. Does he detect any alarm at missing

:14:02.:14:06.

targets? Has anybody pushed the red button in the Executive? I am not

:14:07.:14:14.

hearing it if they have. The model may be South, that is where we

:14:15.:14:18.

should look first. The Economy Minister disagrees. I am looking

:14:19.:14:24.

forward to having a dialogue with the Chamber of Commerce about where

:14:25.:14:28.

we can deal with issues together. I have worked with them and I am

:14:29.:14:33.

surprised they went to the committee before it they came to me. Just 3%

:14:34.:14:39.

of all local firms fly the flag in overseas markets. A debate has now

:14:40.:14:42.

been opened on how to meet the challenge.

:14:43.:14:47.

Danske Bank has made a profit in Northern Ireland this year. It's the

:14:48.:14:50.

first time that's happened since the financial crash in 2008. The pre-tax

:14:51.:14:55.

profit was nearly ?11.5 million. The bank had to pay off nearly ?50

:14:56.:14:59.

million worth of bad debt - a lot less than in previous years. I think

:15:00.:15:06.

we made some fundamentally good decisions earlier on in the cycle

:15:07.:15:09.

about recognising the level of bad debt we had and trying to provide

:15:10.:15:13.

for it as early as possible, but also the fact there is no more bad

:15:14.:15:17.

news emerging, and that is driven by the overall economic situation

:15:18.:15:19.

settling down and now starting to improve.

:15:20.:15:23.

The Sinn Fein President says Peter Robinson has a choice over how he

:15:24.:15:26.

conducts himself as First Minister. The DUP have rejected criticism from

:15:27.:15:29.

Martin McGuinness that the First Minister is dancing to the tune of

:15:30.:15:34.

loyalist extremists. Gerry Adams says his party colleague was

:15:35.:15:45.

speaking the truth. For a Unionist leader to step into a dispensation

:15:46.:15:49.

based on equality, there is a choice to be made, whether you embrace that

:15:50.:15:56.

and go forward or whether you try to minimise it, dilutive, contract that

:15:57.:16:02.

and unfortunately, sometimes the most extreme elements, the most

:16:03.:16:07.

negative and fundamentalist elements set the agenda. And you can hear

:16:08.:16:11.

more of that interview with Gerry Adams tomorrow on Inside Politics on

:16:12.:16:14.

BBC Radio Ulster tomorrow evening. Most children here are educated with

:16:15.:16:18.

pupils of their own religion, but a move to build schools which can be

:16:19.:16:21.

shared by Catholics and Protestants is capturing the imagination of

:16:22.:16:28.

some. The schools would remain separate but occupy the same

:16:29.:16:31.

building. That would save money. The question is, would anyone agree to

:16:32.:16:34.

it? As our education correspondent, Maggie Taggart reports, Scotland has

:16:35.:16:37.

been creating shared campuses for more than a decade. Glasgow has a

:16:38.:16:50.

history of religious conflict. As in Northern Ireland, Catholics and

:16:51.:16:55.

Protestants don't always live in harmony but in the last ten years 35

:16:56.:17:00.

shared education campuses have grown up, for in Glasgow. Schools share

:17:01.:17:06.

the same buildings and use the same front door but separate into their

:17:07.:17:11.

own sections. They keep their own identity and classrooms at play, eat

:17:12.:17:17.

and do project together. The children can come and learn about

:17:18.:17:23.

the Catholic religion and lots of children from other faiths attend

:17:24.:17:26.

Saracen school and can enjoy lessons together so retain autonomy as an

:17:27.:17:31.

independent school but they can learn a lot from each other by being

:17:32.:17:37.

on a shared campus. The printable of the school in this campus would like

:17:38.:17:41.

to do further. Total integration would be the way forward if we could

:17:42.:17:46.

find a way of doing that, that would be my ideal. I am sure there would

:17:47.:17:51.

be some concerns about that but I think through negotiation and

:17:52.:17:58.

discuss and it is not impossible. This playground is used jointly by

:17:59.:18:02.

the Catholic and nondenominational schools but it is not left to them

:18:03.:18:06.

to decide whether to mix or play together, appointed by the pupils in

:18:07.:18:13.

Courage them to play together. Rivalry between Celtic and Rangers

:18:14.:18:18.

has sparked violence but Celtic has sponsored interdenominational work

:18:19.:18:24.

here. I went to a nomination school myself, -- eight nondenominational

:18:25.:18:34.

school, and I don't want my boy growing up the same way. Pupils

:18:35.:18:40.

don't like the thought of children growing up separately. They wouldn't

:18:41.:18:46.

really get enough. There would be fights over what they believe in.

:18:47.:18:52.

The Catholic Church would prefer freestanding faith schools but a

:18:53.:18:57.

shortage of money has left no other option if it wants new schools with

:18:58.:19:02.

facilities. We live with our neighbours, we want to get on with

:19:03.:19:07.

them but we don't want to live in the same house. As schools consider

:19:08.:19:13.

shared campuses here, the advice from parents is to take it slowly.

:19:14.:19:19.

We spent two years working together as parents and meeting together to

:19:20.:19:24.

build a relationship with each other to realise we are all singing from

:19:25.:19:29.

the same hymn sheet. Schools in Northern Ireland can apply for

:19:30.:19:33.

shared buildings as long as they have already begun cross committee

:19:34.:19:38.

links. -- cross-community links. A school

:19:39.:19:41.

football team in Upperlands might have a real advantage in its next

:19:42.:19:44.

match. Ampertaine Primary has adopted the English Premiership side

:19:45.:19:47.

Aston Villa. And today the professional team, which also wears

:19:48.:19:50.

claret and blue, sent over some of its coaches. It started as an idea

:19:51.:20:00.

by teachers to use football to help educate children, working on things

:20:01.:20:06.

like goal-scoring statistics for maths and nationalities for

:20:07.:20:11.

geography. It is getting to know more about an English football club

:20:12.:20:17.

in the top four, we have brought a few things to show them about the

:20:18.:20:21.

history of Aston Villa. The youngsters were treated to a video

:20:22.:20:24.

message by players and gifts from the club. My favourite part of today

:20:25.:20:35.

was seeing Jeff outside. I like call coaching us and I really like the

:20:36.:20:41.

games. Come what May for a villa in the league this season, they can

:20:42.:20:44.

count on support from these new fans.

:20:45.:20:51.

Maybe Aston Villa picked up some hints as well. Ulster's rugby

:20:52.:20:55.

captain is to retire as the end of this season. But Ireland's captain

:20:56.:21:00.

is back to face Wales. Gavin Andrews is here with the sport.

:21:01.:21:04.

At 34, Johann Muller had been hinting strongly that he might be

:21:05.:21:08.

about to call time on his illustrious career. Today came

:21:09.:21:10.

confirmation that he's set to return to to South Africa and the family

:21:11.:21:21.

farm. He'll be missed. But good news for the Irish captain. Another big

:21:22.:21:25.

man. Paul O'Connell, who's also 34, shows no sign of slowing up. He's

:21:26.:21:29.

back from illness to captain Ireland against Wales in this Saturdays six

:21:30.:21:31.

nations grudge Andrew Trimble train this morning.

:21:32.:21:41.

a whole will he leave at Ravenhill? He has been important for us the

last few years. He is a leader on the pitch but also off-the-peg, and

:22:18.:22:22.

a lot of the boys will miss him. He is good for some older fellas like

Although the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics doesn't take place

:22:52.:22:55.

until tomorrow, local girl Amy Fuller was in action today. The

22-year-old from Bangor missed out on an automatic place in Sunday's

:22:58.:23:01.

final of the snowboard slopestyle in Sochi. But she'll have a second

:23:02.:23:05.

opportunity to qualify for the final over the weekend. There she goes.

:23:06.:23:13.

Good luck to her. From the back roads around

:23:14.:23:16.

Toomebridge, to the majesty of Monaco, it seems the only way is up

:23:17.:23:19.

for Northern Ireland Motorcyclist Eugene Laverty. And to the new

:23:20.:23:23.

surroundings he can now add a new team. He's switched from Aprilia to

:23:24.:23:27.

Suzuki to try and become the first rider from here to win a World

:23:28.:23:30.

Championship since the late Joey Dunlop back in 1986. We are normally

:23:31.:23:36.

used to seeing Eugene Laverty travel much faster on two wheels, but this

:23:37.:23:42.

is perfect preparation for him in an ideal location. Monaco has been his

:23:43.:23:50.

base for the last year. Where he often trained alongside professional

:23:51.:23:56.

cyclists and Olympic champions. I fell in love with the place. There

are a lot of sports guys here who just enjoy themselves. It is a

week. Trying to go one better than last season when he was just kept to

:24:31.:24:35.

the title. Laverty does the double here. We had too many non-finishers

:24:36.:24:43.

and they were costly but the second half couldn't have been better. We

have nine victories and have been fighting to achieve for a few years

:24:49.:24:55.

now, world champion once in Supersport and twice in Superbike,

:24:56.:25:00.

so I would love to emulate jewellery and bring the trophy home. For now

:25:01.:25:07.

Monaco is home alongside his fiancee pepper, but if he wins this year, he

:25:08.:25:12.

will be back to see his family in Toomebridge. We had some respite

from the rain and wind today but watch out, we are in for another

kiss of death but it was nice to see sunshine to date across parts of the

:25:43.:25:46.

Republic and Northern Ireland. A couple of showers working their way

:25:47.:25:51.

in so a few showers tonight but with quite clear skies we will see chilly

:25:52.:25:55.

temperatures and were showers fall on those cold surfaces it will mean

:25:56.:26:00.

a risk of ice tomorrow morning. A cold start tomorrow but we will see

:26:01.:26:05.

sunshine. Things go downhill tomorrow night but a good part of

:26:06.:26:12.

the day looks OK. To begin you may have to scrape car windscreens

:26:13.:26:18.

tomorrow. There may be fog around as well but up in Antrim and towards

:26:19.:26:21.

the north coast and parts of Londonderry and to Ron, but any

:26:22.:26:25.

showers around early tomorrow will not be there for the day. They will

:26:26.:26:31.

move away and a large part of the date will be dry with sunshine. Sun

:26:32.:26:35.

will start to fade later and it will turn chilly as the breeze picks up.

:26:36.:26:41.

The reason is another area of low pressure in the Atlantic. That will

:26:42.:26:46.

bring rain tomorrow night. It will stay with us through the weekend and

influence whether across Britain and Ireland, so here comes the rain

:26:52.:26:55.

tomorrow night. Five or six hours, some of it heavy, strong if not gale

:26:56.:27:01.

force winds and a high tide during the night, but if you are going to

:27:02.:27:07.

Ravenhill tomorrow it will start to write and hopefully the rain will

:27:08.:27:12.

hold off until most people get home. For Saturday's rugby down in Dublin,

:27:13.:27:18.

it is a different date altogether. There will be heavy rain and

:27:19.:27:22.

showers, and for most of us the weekend will bring wet weather. It

:27:23.:27:27.

may start dry on Saturday but it may get wet throughout the day, bubbly

Sunday the better of the two days. There are lots of comments paying
