:01:42. > :01:47.letter of assurance telling him he was not wanted for questioning by
:01:48. > :01:52.any UK police force. The let -- letter was sent after checks were
:01:53. > :01:57.carried out by a specialist team called operation rabbit. The officer
:01:58. > :02:01.in charge of that team today accused the Northern Ireland Office of
:02:02. > :02:04.political interference. I would say there is a culture in Northern

:02:23. > :02:26.Ireland. They should not be contacting police

:02:57. > :03:04.them. That, in my mind, is attempting to
:03:05. > :03:07.pervert the course of justice. I don't know the person at -- I do not
:03:08. > :03:12.know who the person in Downing Street was, but as a police officer
:03:13. > :03:22.that is totally illegal and unconstitutional. What did you do?
:03:23. > :03:25.We continue it interviewing him and he was subsequently convicted. It
:03:26. > :03:30.was revealed during the hearings that PSNI new John Downie was wanted
:03:31. > :03:35.in London for questioning about the Hyde Park bombing at the time his
:03:36. > :03:38.letter was sent but did not tell the prosecution service.
:03:39. > :03:43.The PSNI was accused of a catastrophic failure, criticism
:03:44. > :03:50.Norman Baxter today said was unfair. Do you personally believe that the
:03:51. > :03:55.PSNI and you were being scapegoated? Yes, if I am at liberty to say, I
:03:56. > :04:01.thought the Secretary of State's statement was disgraceful in blaming
:04:02. > :04:09.the police. Without any due process. I thought think that she,
:04:10. > :04:13.by doing so, is covering up in what is going on in this administrative
:04:14. > :04:17.process. The retired officer also criticised the chief constable, who
:04:18. > :04:20.shortly after the judgement issued an apology saying the PSNI accepted
:04:21. > :04:25.full responsibility for what happened.

:04:44. > :04:47.Cookstown has been put on hold. The preferred bidder could not deliver
:04:48. > :04:50.the project within budget. There are now doubts whether the project will
:04:51. > :04:53.ever go ahead. Here's our south west reporter, Julian Fowler.
:04:54. > :04:56.A vision of the future for the training of police officers,
:04:57. > :05:03.firefighters and prison officers. A consortium consisting of Spanish
:05:04. > :05:09.company, SEC, and local company, Gilbert Ash, said it could build the
:05:10. > :05:14.college near place right -- Cookstown for ?133 million but was
:05:15. > :05:19.told the budget will be no more than ?104 million. It has already cost
:05:20. > :05:22.around ?11 million, but the sight of the college is still a field.
:05:23. > :05:28.The programme team has now decided to take a pause and may now retender
:05:29. > :05:32.the problem -- contract. We need to reassess the project and
:05:33. > :05:34.current up-to-date costs. We will look at ways of reducing some costs
:05:35. > :05:38.and we have to do reports that look at ways of reducing some costs
:05:39. > :05:42.government and let the government have an idea of the scale of this
:05:43. > :05:48.sound of the cost to ensure we have a way forward. But there is an
:05:49. > :05:52.absolute commitment to delivering this college at the site in
:05:53. > :05:54.Cookstown. The land was bought in 2003.
:05:55. > :06:01.Ever since, the project has been beset by problems over costs and
:06:02. > :06:04.design. The board that has to take forward of the scheme have said the
:06:05. > :06:07.blame lies with the design team, who ultimately underestimated the cost
:06:08. > :06:11.of this construction by some ?30 million.
:06:12. > :06:16.For Cookstown the latest setback has come as a huge amount -- at huge
:06:17. > :06:19.disappointment. I queued at work has been invested by ourselves as a
:06:20. > :06:24.local authority. -- at huge amount of work. And
:06:25. > :06:28.indeed by hundreds of businesses across the region to equip
:06:29. > :06:32.themselves to be able to avail themselves of the -- economic
:06:33. > :06:35.opportunities brought by the college.
:06:36. > :06:38.For some in the town they're not no surprises over the delays and there
:06:39. > :06:42.are doubts whether the college will ever be built.
:06:43. > :06:46.Every six months of press releases taken out and dusted off with a
:06:47. > :06:51.different date on it. No. I believe and many believe it will never
:06:52. > :06:56.happen in Cookstown. For those behind the idea of a
:06:57. > :06:57.world-class training facility for the urgency services, it is back to
:06:58. > :07:06.the drawing board. Poorer Protestant boys are seriously
:07:07. > :07:09.underachieving at school, according to a new report. The study by the
:07:10. > :07:13.Community Relations Council has compared all communities across the
:07:14. > :07:18.UK - using five good GCSE grades as the measure of success. The figures
:07:19. > :07:19.show over 76% of Catholic girls from better off backgrounds - that's
:07:20. > :07:22.those who better off backgrounds - that's
:07:23. > :07:27.meals - are among the highest achievers, beaten only by Chinese
:07:28. > :07:30.girls in the overall UK table. But the picture is bleak for Protestant
:07:31. > :07:38.boys who are entitled to free school neals. Just 19.7% get five good
:07:39. > :07:41.GCSEs. That's nearly at the bottom of the UK table. Only travellers and
:07:42. > :07:45.Roma children are getting poorer results.
:07:46. > :07:49.The man who compiled the report has accused politicians of sleepwalking
:07:50. > :07:53.into an inequality gap. I've been speaking to him and to pupils at
:07:54. > :07:59.schools from both sides to ask why pupils think there's such a divide.
:08:00. > :08:10.I think the Catholic ethos is to better yourself, and that is why
:08:11. > :08:14.there is such a drive to do well. Maybe because Catholics had a harder
:08:15. > :08:18.time maybe it was ingrained in their culture of that in Northern Ireland
:08:19. > :08:23.to try harder. Politicians are busy arguing about issues they considered
:08:24. > :08:28.to be culturally important, but are not having any effect, you know,
:08:29. > :08:31.economically or in terms of bettering their societies.
:08:32. > :08:34.I don't think it has anything to do with faith or religion come it is no
:08:35. > :08:37.ones fault but your own if you are not really pushing yourself to do
:08:38. > :08:42.well in school. You are losing out.
:08:43. > :08:45.Newtownabbey community School used to have poor results but in the last
:08:46. > :08:49.few years things have started to change for the better. These
:08:50. > :08:53.students were surprised to hear that Protestant boys are not reaching
:08:54. > :08:57.their full potential. This is the first I have heard it, that
:08:58. > :09:02.Protestant boys don't achieve as much as the others but if they don't
:09:03. > :09:04.maybe it is now lack of from them. Maybe it is the way they are brought
:09:05. > :09:08.up in their estate, who Maybe it is the way they are brought
:09:09. > :09:11.about with and things like that. Girls seem to work harder, they are
:09:12. > :09:19.more concerned about the future whereas boys are more relaxed about
:09:20. > :09:22.that stuff. Now the Protestants will have to
:09:23. > :09:29.lift their game and start revising more, doing better tests, stuff like
:09:30. > :09:32.that. The principal says poorer Protestant areas do face significant
:09:33. > :09:35.social problems and for some pupils even getting to school is an
:09:36. > :09:40.achievement. There are many of them is with
:09:41. > :09:44.complex challenges, both within and outside school.
:09:45. > :09:50.Many of them are easily influenced by other interests out of school,
:09:51. > :09:54.should it be the paramilitary organisations or other attractions.
:09:55. > :09:57.The massive gap between students and their catholic counterparts concerns
:09:58. > :10:02.the man who wrote their catholic counterparts concerns
:10:03. > :10:05.says there will be consequences. The real problem with this is we are
:10:06. > :10:10.creating inequalities that will later show themselves in the King of
:10:11. > :10:16.incidents we have seen in recent years, in terms of public disorder,
:10:17. > :10:19.in terms of younger generation that feels it has no roots out of its
:10:20. > :10:27.poverty. Out that inequality comes anger, and out of that anger, I am
:10:28. > :10:31.afraid, we have a very unsettled political future. Across Belfast,
:10:32. > :10:35.the girls at Saint Dominic 's have their own theories about why girls
:10:36. > :10:40.are doing well. In the past come in working class
:10:41. > :10:43.families, especially, they did not have any other opportunities and
:10:44. > :10:48.education was the way to get out and open doors. I think that is why now
:10:49. > :10:56.education is being pushed and why we are doing so well. My family is
:10:57. > :11:01.working-class Catholic, so I feel that why I work so hard at school
:11:02. > :11:05.now because I appreciate education. My granny, for example, was not
:11:06. > :11:13.given her the opportunity to pursue her education. So I know I would be
:11:14. > :11:15.almost stupid to throw the opportunity away. What about
:11:16. > :11:21.Protestant boys and catholic girls, then?
:11:22. > :11:25.Why are Protestant boys not doing so well? I think the problem is mainly
:11:26. > :11:29.that Protestant boys are being ignored, because real issues such as
:11:30. > :11:33.education are being overshadowed by political issues from the past that
:11:34. > :11:37.are not relevant today. Debates such as, I don't mean to
:11:38. > :11:40.offend anyone, debates such as the flag is you don't seem to be as
:11:41. > :11:45.royalist communities. royalist communities.
:11:46. > :11:49.I don't think it is down to intelligence, I think everyone is a
:11:50. > :11:52.genius, but you need to target the strengths people have and perhaps
:11:53. > :11:57.Protestant boys are not given the opportunities we are about people
:11:58. > :12:02.looking after us target it and that makes our education better. The
:12:03. > :12:08.strength of this school is that we have a certain amount of diversity.
:12:09. > :12:10.You know, obviously we have a high percentage of children on free
:12:11. > :12:16.school meals, five times the average for grammar schools, and I suppose
:12:17. > :12:23.we are not focused on what people have or have not got. Everyone is
:12:24. > :12:26.judged by their merit, it is about your work ethic. Protestant
:12:27. > :12:29.working-class boys are being locked out of planet.
:12:30. > :12:33.Remember, even if we get investment into areas like East Belfast, these
:12:34. > :12:35.kids will not be able to get access to those jobs, because they simply
:12:36. > :12:41.do have the qualifications. The to those jobs, because they simply
:12:42. > :12:46.chair of Stormont 's education Committee and the former principal
:12:47. > :12:50.of Ashfield Boys, Andy McMorran join me now.
:12:51. > :12:55.Protestant boys are being locked out of education, what are you doing
:12:56. > :12:58.about that? This issue has been made reference to in many reports of a
:12:59. > :13:02.long period of time. I think it is a regrettable
:13:03. > :13:06.situation that, despite all of the top there has been by the current
:13:07. > :13:09.education minister and his department and previous education
:13:10. > :13:11.ministers, the specific issue of addressing needs in working-class
:13:12. > :13:18.Protestant boys has been ignored. I spent some time recently with
:13:19. > :13:22.working-class Protestant boys at Shankill Road. There is a proposal
:13:23. > :13:26.on the education minister 's death and we're waiting for a response.
:13:27. > :13:31.What about mainstream unionism? From Stormont's on record it
:13:32. > :13:34.What about mainstream unionism? only been debated once at Stormont
:13:35. > :13:38.in four years? I don't think that is a reflection
:13:39. > :13:42.that my Party or others have ignored the issue. Constantly there have
:13:43. > :13:47.been reports saying there was a problem. I have to take it is not
:13:48. > :13:50.just an issue in working-class Protestant areas. There are
:13:51. > :13:54.working-class Roman Catholic areas where there is a particular problem
:13:55. > :13:57.and issue of underachievement and underperformance. But this report is
:13:58. > :14:01.saying that Protestant boys from poorer backgrounds are at the bottom
:14:02. > :14:04.of table. That is consistent with previous
:14:05. > :14:08.reports, and this report makes a telling comment in regarding the
:14:09. > :14:11.free school meals. We have spent a lot of money on the
:14:12. > :14:17.issue of free school meals. Still, with all the money that has been
:14:18. > :14:20.spent, or 19% of young Protestant boys in receipt of free school meals
:14:21. > :14:26.are not performing. The issue is educational underachievement, not a
:14:27. > :14:34.solely it -- social issue. Andy McMorran, your school but the social
:14:35. > :14:40.trend, you got great results at Ashfield Boys, what is the utter?
:14:41. > :14:44.I served on to committees. That was one task force, then I sat
:14:45. > :14:46.with Don Purvis on the underachievement in working-class
:14:47. > :14:50.areas. Some of the recommendations from the leadership around teaching
:14:51. > :14:56.and learning, etc, we put forward some very good ideas, but these
:14:57. > :15:01.figures in 2014 are telling us this and I would like to know what would
:15:02. > :15:06.-- what was done? Why was this not acted on originally? One of the big
:15:07. > :15:08.things was the leadership in school. We cannot get people in Northern
:15:09. > :15:13.Ireland to apply for jobs for leadership. You think there is a
:15:14. > :15:16.fundamental difference between Protestant state schools and
:15:17. > :15:22.catholic schools and their ethos? No, I don't. One of the things we
:15:23. > :15:26.pushed all the time was motivation, motivating the children to do better
:15:27. > :15:30.and believe in themselves. Their self esteem was low at the start and
:15:31. > :15:34.we built it up, and coming out at the other end, due to very solid
:15:35. > :15:38.teaching and a link to the community and a link to different
:15:39. > :15:43.organisations, etc, what was coming out at the end we were proving, we
:15:44. > :15:49.bucked the trend and they are still churning out 70% at five GCSEs.
:15:50. > :15:53.Thank you very much for joining us. Still to come tonight...
:15:54. > :16:01.The company behind Games of Thrones gives its backing to promoting
:16:02. > :16:04.Northern Ireland tourism. The Health Minister has warned that the failure
:16:05. > :16:07.to agree a deal on introducing welfare changes could have a
:16:08. > :16:07.damaging impact on the level of hospital
:16:08. > :16:12.patients here. The DUP has predicted that fines
:16:13. > :16:16.levied by the Treasury over welfare reform could lead to a cut of nearly
:16:17. > :16:20.?70 million in next year's Health budget. Our Political Editor Mark
:16:21. > :16:23.Devenport has been talking to the minister.
:16:24. > :16:29.What is Edwin Poots warning could be the consequences of a continuing
:16:30. > :16:34.stand off over welfare reform? Edwin Poots is saying that if the
:16:35. > :16:38.final, which is predicted to be more than ?100 million, is imposed and is
:16:39. > :16:43.shared out equally across the various Stormont government
:16:44. > :16:46.departments, it is likely to happen will be a ?68 million cut in the
:16:47. > :16:51.health budget. It says that people might not realise what that means.
:16:52. > :16:56.He wants to set out in stark detail what it could mean.
:16:57. > :17:02.?10 million would buy us hundreds of nurses. A further 10 million would
:17:03. > :17:08.lose us thousands of consultants with GPs. A further 10 million with
:17:09. > :17:15.losers almost 1,500 hip replacements. I have a paper from
:17:16. > :17:20.officials indicating that we may have to close some of our smaller
:17:21. > :17:22.hospitals. We do need to wake up and realise the pressure that the health
:17:23. > :17:26.budget is under. What have the other Stormont parties
:17:27. > :17:31.had to say about this? In general, some are saying that the
:17:32. > :17:36.DUP are getting ahead of themselves. The fines have not
:17:37. > :17:40.started to be levied yet. We don't know how they will be shared out
:17:41. > :17:44.across the departments. The Ulster Unionists say this is a change of
:17:45. > :17:47.tune in when the DUP used to criticise their previous Health
:17:48. > :17:51.Minister when he complained about his budget. The SDLP 's favour big
:17:52. > :17:54.parties should have a tougher negotiations with the government
:17:55. > :18:00.department in London. Sinn Fein, the main target, is essentially saying

:18:19. > :18:21.company HBO has, for the first time, given its backing to a tourism
:18:22. > :18:24.campaign. After using Northern Ireland as the setting for Game of

:18:31. > :18:36.Game of Thrones film locations are now being signposted. It aims to
:18:37. > :18:42.capitalise on a connection with the hit TV series.

:18:52. > :18:55.Season four is about to error, and the tourism sector has struck a deal
:18:56. > :19:03.with HBO to endorse a series of adverts which will target a fan base
:19:04. > :19:07.of millions on social media. This is an iconic image which became
:19:08. > :19:12.famous in the initial series of game thrones. It will form part of our
:19:13. > :19:16.advertising campaign. Game of Thrones has been using these
:19:17. > :19:23.film studios and other locations and 2009. During that time, it has had
:19:24. > :19:25.?11 million of assistance from the Northern Ireland Executive. The
:19:26. > :19:30.argument is that that is money well spent.
:19:31. > :19:35.It is viewed as an investment, not just in the local television and
:19:36. > :19:39.film sector, but now inter isn't. We need to take the opportunity that
:19:40. > :19:43.has been presented to us, with the fact that this is such a global
:19:44. > :19:49.head. We can show off all of our beautiful scenery. We can draw
:19:50. > :19:52.people into our tourism product. The campaign will roll out in the US

:20:45. > :20:48.the ring himself. It's a very special day with the
:20:49. > :20:53.Prince and the Duchess arriving. He was here a couple of years ago, and
:20:54. > :21:01.we have achieved a lot since then. We wish them good luck for the
:21:02. > :21:08.future as we leave Northern Ireland. The duchess went on an Easter egg

:21:40. > :21:42.of 502 Ulster Squadron preparing for war. Tonight, we see them in their
:21:43. > :21:46.lighter moments. Will Leitch has been finding out how the men engaged

:22:15. > :22:19.-- Herbie Edgar. Herbie Edgar shot most of his
:22:20. > :22:31.footage in buildings like this one at Alderbrook. It was the early
:22:32. > :22:36.days... The error crew had become familiar
:22:37. > :22:41.with working inside, and went off duty to relax with a few beers and a
:22:42. > :22:44.pack of cards. Perhaps, the next bit was inevitable for young man with
:22:45. > :22:50.time off after dangerous work - the door is open to reveal offals of
:22:51. > :22:57.beer. It takes a bit of a shake before they will drop. Moments like

:23:21. > :23:26.In a jokey reference to a character from the wartime comedy It's That
:23:27. > :23:31.Man Again, if you can't be roused what's better than the old wet
:23:32. > :23:38.sponge routine? The Squadron lost 174 men during the
:23:39. > :23:43.war, and this film stayed with the families of the Squadron for years.
:23:44. > :23:47.For many, it was too painful to watch. But the film of their working
:23:48. > :23:50.lives is now available for new generations.
:23:51. > :23:53.The fallout from the GAA's announcement that it has signed a
:23:54. > :23:55.deal with Sky Sports to broadcast 42 of its championship matches

:24:17. > :24:24.A day on and on the PR front, there is much work to be done. The GAA has
:24:25. > :24:31.just sold its soul, or it has secured its future and gone global
:24:32. > :24:36.with a strong broadcasting deal. I don't want that to be to the
:24:37. > :24:41.detriment of local broadcasting. I don't want it to be at the detriment
:24:42. > :24:47.of the people. -- the people who don't have sky. Will you voice your
:24:48. > :24:56.concerns to the GAA? I will when I get more details.
:24:57. > :25:00.We don't know just how lucrative or otherwise that deal may be, as the
:25:01. > :25:05.GAA is coming under pressure from its own members to reveal that
:25:06. > :25:09.detail. BBC Northern Ireland would broadcast
:25:10. > :25:15.only games which are TE will also show live. There will be no
:25:16. > :25:24.quarterfinals, semifinals or finals on BBC Northern Ireland.
:25:25. > :25:32.It's terrible. Why do you say that?
:25:33. > :25:35.It's doesn't make commercial sense. It's bad for the punter on the
:25:36. > :25:40.street who have to pay for everything now.
:25:41. > :25:41.It's good that the money is put back into the clubs.
:25:42. > :25:52.Do you have sky? Yes I do.
