complainants in the trial. But now on BBC One,

Hello and welcome to BBC Newsline. A man will appear in court tomorrow

charged with murders of 29 people in the Omagh bombing in August 1998.

Seamus Daly will also be charged with an attempted bombing in Lisburn

in the same year. The 43-year-old was arrested by detectives from the

serious crime branch earlier this week. Our home affairs

correspondent, Vincent Kearney, reports.

Seamus Daly was secretly filmed by the BBC's Panorama programme 14

years ago. 29 people were killed in the Omagh bombing in 200 injured in

what was the worst atrocity of the Troubles. Seamus Daly was arrested

in Newry on Monday and has been charged in connection with the

attack. No one has ever been convicted of carrying out the

bombing in a criminal court but relatives of the victims call --

took out a civil action. The court ruled that Seamus Daly and three

others were responsible and they were later ordered to pay over ?1.5

million in damages. Seamus Daly has always denied any involvement but

has previously guilt -- pleaded guilty to membership of the Real

IRA. He is expected to appear in court tomorrow.

Michael Gallagher, whose son Aidan died in the bomb, gave his reaction

a short time ago. We have put the police and the

British and Irish governments and others under tremendous pressure and

we do not apologise for that. Of course, we believe that is not the

role of the victims and not something we should have to do as

victims. But we also believe we have to make sure justice is seen to be

done here. Police have said there's trouble in

the Woodburn Avenue and the Hollies area of Carrickfergus tonight.

Motorists have been advised to avoid the area. There are no more details

at the moment. The Queen has shaken hands with

Martin McGuinness at a Northern Ireland themed reception at Windsor

Castle. The event was held on the penultimate day of the Irish

President's four-day state visit to the UK. The Queen and Michael D

Higgins co-hosted the event in order to celebrate British and Irish

people who have made a significant contribution to the peace process

and to public life in Northern Ireland. President Higgins has been

attending an Irish-themed event at the Royal Albert Hall tonight.

Meanwhile, the Secretary of State has criticised party colleague Lord

Tebbit for saying he hoped Martin McGuinness would be shot in the back

for attending a banquet hosted by the Queen earlier this week. In an

interview on tonight's BBC The View programme, Theresa Villiers said the

Conservative peer's remarks were highly dangerous. I think those

comments were unacceptable. It is still a matter of great sadness and

regret that threats are made genuinely against elected

representatives in Northern Ireland so I think it is highly dangerous

for Lord Tebbit to make those kinds of remarks given the security

situation. You can see more of that interview

with the Secretary of State on The View just after this bulletin.

An American company is to create 1,000 new jobs in Belfast. They will

mostly pay below average salaries but the Executive says they're ideal

for young unemployed people. Our business correspondent, Julian

O'Neill, reports. Concentrix will more than double its

local workforce over the next three years. It provides office back-up to

companies like Microsoft and Amazon. Some of the new posts will be in

customer service and others in computer software. I am glad it is

in the Belfast area though there may be different views about that. Go

around the desks and you will see there are people from virtually

every part of the continent, never mind any part of the company.

Many jobs will pay about ?15,000, hello the private sector average,

but they will be pitched at young people. It also sends out a message

that Northern Ireland is a place to do business.

It sends a powerful message to others who are considering coming

here and that is the secret of our success. These jobs could have been

created anywhere in the world really and it is a credit to the team here

that it has been brought here. This helps to underwrite the expansion

The mother of a man murdered in Comber two years ago has described

the sentence given to two of the men who killed him as disgusting. Philip

Strickland died after being killed with a shotgun during a dispute with

a County Down family. Ian Weir, of Derryboye Road near Killinchy - seen

here on the left - will serve four years of a life sentence. He

testified against his father who'll be sentenced tomorrow. His brother,

Jason Weir of Raffery Road near Killinchy - seen here on the right -

will serve nine-and-a-half years. Both brothers had pleaded guilty.

An explosive device has been found during a security alert in

Londonderry. The device, which police have described as "crude but

viable" was discovered by a member of the public at Talbot Park. Some

homes were evacuated as Army bomb experts carried out a controlled

explosion. All affected roads have reopened and residents have been

allowed to return to their homes. It's day one of golf's US Masters at

Augusta. Rory McIlroy has made an excellent start with an opening

round of one under par - that's just three shots off the lead. Graeme

McDowell is a shot further back, with Darren Clarke six behind

clubhouse leader Bill Haas. Stephen Watson reports from Augusta.

It was a confident start for the tournament favourite. From his very

first shot, Rory McIlroy looked relaxed and ready for his challenge.

And the Hollywood Manse showed early signs of the form which helped him

win two major championships. He found his touch on the ultra quick

Augusta greens. He was soon rocketing up the opening round

leaderboard. Graham Nicholls struggled early but

battled back from two over par to finish level, not spectacular but a

solid start. A funny day because maybe from the outset it didn't look

like I putted well. But I patted OK. I was grounding from six, eight and

ten feet all day long. I rolled it OK and my pace was generally brief

--. It is tough to describe to people at home. On his 500th

appearance, Darren Clarke has a lot of work to do tomorrow if he is to

make the halfway cut. Darren Clarke has battled back to two over par.

Good evening. A clearer night tonight and colder as well. We are

looking at rural spots where it could dip down to freezing sow grass

frostbite tomorrow morning and the possibility of a few visibility

issues with mist and fog. Tamara is not a bad day at all. A ridge of

high pressure will bring a lot of dry and bright weather. The best of

the sunshine is likely to be in the morning. For much of Britain and

Northern Ireland, the high pressure brings a lot of fine weather. Quite

warm in the South East when early cloud clears. The exception is

likely to be the North West of Scotland where the breeze picks up

to bring thicker cloud and spells of rain. Parts of the North West of

Northern Ireland will see the cloud feel in later on in the afternoon

but it will stay dry and brighter in southern and eastern areas. One or

two spots in the south-east may hit 14 Celsius. A change tomorrow with a

weather front moving in from the North West which will bring thicker

cloud tomorrow night and on Saturday morning. When the rain clears, it

should brighten up and it stays mainly dry for the rest of the

weekend. From everyone here, have a good night.
