year. The next | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good afternoon and welcome to BBC Newsline. An alleged former IRA | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
leader has appeared in court in Belfast charged in connection with | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
the abduction and murder of Jean McConville in 1972. Ivor Bell was | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
refused bail, as Mark Simpson reports. | :00:19. | :00:32. | |
Ivor Bell's solicitor told the court he had nothing to do with the murder | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
of Jean McConville. He said Mr Bell would be able to prove his | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
innocence. Jean McConville from West Belfast was abducted and killed in | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
1972. Her body was found years later, buried on a beach. She had | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
ten children. A number of members in court today as Ivor Bell appeared, | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
charged with aiding and abetting her murder. His solicitor told the court | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
was based on an interview for the Boston College, but the evidence | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
against him was not credible. Ivor Bell was described in court as a | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
frail, elderly, 77-year-old grandfather. His solicitor told the | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
court he had suffered two heart attacks and had arthritis as well as | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
neck and bowel problems. Ivor Bell was part of the Republican | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
delegations that held secret talks with the British government in | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
London in 1972. In court today, his solicitor said he was a threat to | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
the one and should be released on bail. But a police officer said | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
there was critical information linking him to the murder of Jean | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
McConville. The search has resumed for an angler | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
from Portadown who is missing after a boat sank on Lough Ree in County | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
Westmeath. A friend died and another man is stable in hospital after the | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
accident on Thursday. The dead man has been named locally as David | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
Warnock from Richhill, who was in his 20s. Today the Irish Coastguard | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
helicopter was again involved in the search for the missing man, who's | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
understood to be from Craigavon. A Garda spokesperson said that | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
condition of the third man, who was rescued, was non life-threatening. | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
The Alliance Party MLA Anna Lo has defended comments she made in a | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
newspaper interview during which she declared her preference for a united | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
Ireland. The party's European candidate received a standing | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
ovation as she took to the stage at the party's annual conference this | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
morning. She rejected criticism of her remarks, claiming it came from | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
people incapable of seeing beyond sectarianism. Of course, in recent | :02:31. | :02:46. | |
days, a lot has been said about my views on the constitutional issue. | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
And many have tried to paint me as a nationalist. Let me make this very | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
clear. I cannot and will not be reduced to one label. | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
The police are investigating after a war memorial at Killowen Orange Hall | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
in Coleraine was vandalised last night. It's understood a memorial | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
stone was smashed and wreaths damaged at the building at Shuttle | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
Hill around 9pm. The incident is being treated as a hate crime and | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
the Orange Order has condemned the attack. A viable device was made | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
safe during a security alert in Glengormley last night. | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
The police say a suspicious object was discovered at a house on the | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
Antrim Road. Army experts were cold and a number of homes were | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
evacuated. The device was taken away for forensic examination. | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
In rugby, Ulster stayed in touch with Pro12 leaders Leinster with a | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
win over Edinburgh at Murrayfield last night. On a heavy pitch, Paddy | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
Jackson was the Ulster match-winner, kicking three penalties. The hosts | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
had taken the lead but Ulster bounced back despite Iain | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
Henderson's yellow card. The victory moved them up to second in the | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
table, five points behind Leinster. And it marked another stage in | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Stephen Ferris's comeback from long-term injury. We just dug in | :03:59. | :04:07. | |
there. We knew it wasn't going to be an open game, we just needed to dig | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
in. From a personal point of view, it went really well. It is just hard | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
work, hard graft. It is good to do a few hard yards. Time now for a look | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
at the weather forecast. Here's Barra Best. | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
It is still mainly dry and the East at the moment, but some showers are | :04:31. | :04:41. | |
on their way and there is the risk of lightning, hail and thunder Sten. | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
In between, it will brighten up and there will be decent spells of | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
sunshine to be enjoyed, although with gusty winds, it will feel | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
colder than it is. You will want to wrap up warm if you are writing | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
about. It is a fairly unsettled picture right across Britain and | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
Ireland and there will be scattered showers almost anywhere. Quite | :05:05. | :05:13. | |
breezy. Temperatures might get up to 11 or 12 degrees in the south-east | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
of England. By later in the day, there will be brighter weather to | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
enjoy before nightfall. For Northern Ireland, showers dying out, but some | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
will linger through the course of the night and they will be falling | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
as sleet and snow as temperatures fall close to freezing in many | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
places. The morning will be cold, there will be frost and patches of | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
ice will stop otherwise, tomorrow is shaping up to be a much better day. | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
There will be some showers, but there will be more dry weather and | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
spells of sunshine. In the afternoon, it will brighten up and | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
much lighter winds to enjoy the sunshine. Temperatures reaching | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
seven or eight degrees. Some showers lingering into the afternoon. It | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
will be largely dry night as we go overnight into Monday. A promising | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
start on Monday, but the next batch of rain will be on its way with | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
blustery conditions. The good news is, that will pass away and for | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
Tuesday and Wednesday, we will have largely dry days with the odd | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
shower. That's it for now. | :06:31. | :06:31. |
