:01:04. > :01:08.There is a lot of work involved in it but it is fun, and exciting to be
:01:09. > :01:13.able to, to put something there that wasn't there before.
:01:14. > :01:22.And keep the raincoat handy as the wet weather continues to come our
:01:23. > :01:25.way. 95 Republicans who received
:01:26. > :01:31.so-called On the Runs letters were linked to nearly 300 murders, the
:01:32. > :01:34.revelation was made at a meeting of the Northern Ireland Affairs
:01:35. > :01:37.Committee at Westminster today. The Chief Constable stressed that did
:01:38. > :01:41.not mean they are guilty, and said they could still be prosecuted if
:01:42. > :01:45.new evidence emerges, or they were sent a letter by mistake.
:01:46. > :01:49.Our Home Affairs correspondent reports.
:01:50. > :01:52.The focus of this debate has until now been the number of Republican
:01:53. > :01:58.sent letters telling them they weren't wanted by the police.
:01:59. > :02:01.Today, details of the number of their potential victims were --
:02:02. > :02:05.revealedment giving evidence today, the officer who leads the PSNI
:02:06. > :02:09.serious crime branch was asked if any of those September letters would
:02:10. > :02:15.have been considered to be notorious. When you look through all
:02:16. > :02:20.of these, the full 228 names, there are people in that who are in your
:02:21. > :02:28.terms notorious, not without a doubt. 95 of these individuals are
:02:29. > :02:35.linked in some way or other to 200 murder investigations. So, but that
:02:36. > :02:41.link may only be intelligence. That drew this response. I must say, it
:02:42. > :02:45.breaks my heart today, as a citizen of Northern Ireland, as a citizen of
:02:46. > :02:48.the United Kingdom to know that 95 people are holding letters that
:02:49. > :02:53.excuse them for the murder of 200 people. But the Chief Constable was
:02:54. > :02:58.at pains to stress that did not mean there was evidence to prove those 95
:02:59. > :03:02.individuals were guilty of murder. I wouldn't say you can say it
:03:03. > :03:07.cleared people of murder, that is an extreme statement. We need to work
:03:08. > :03:10.through this. Mr Harris said they were linked. It doesn't mean there
:03:11. > :03:13.is evidence there, they could have gone through a proper review process
:03:14. > :03:16.and there may not be reasonable ground to arrest. The PSNI later
:03:17. > :03:22.issues a statement to clarify the position. It said the 95 individuals
:03:23. > :03:26.had been linked to incidents involving 295 murders.
:03:27. > :03:30.It was also revealed five of those sent letters are being
:03:31. > :03:33.reinvestigated because of new evidence provided by the Historical
:03:34. > :03:39.Inquiries team. The police were asked if those letters will now be
:03:40. > :03:42.-- now be annulled. That is not clear. We have to go through a
:03:43. > :03:47.process and we haven't presented those files to the PPS and it would
:03:48. > :03:52.be for the PPS to take a view on the weight of the evidence against them,
:03:53. > :03:58.and then to pursue that, the issue then of the status of their not
:03:59. > :04:02.wanted letter. The PSNI is currently reexamining letters sent to 192
:04:03. > :04:07.Republican, telling them they were not wanted. To save mistake -- see
:04:08. > :04:10.if mistakes were made and if there is evidence to change that position.
:04:11. > :04:15.The Chief Constable said letters would not prevent prosecutions if
:04:16. > :04:21.new evidence emerges. If we have new evidence or opportunities we will
:04:22. > :04:25.take, some degree the letter is, is irrelevant because we are pursuing
:04:26. > :04:29.an investigation. I have heard nothing and seen nothing that says
:04:30. > :04:34.these are immunities or amnesties. A team of 19 detectives is reviewing
:04:35. > :04:40.the case, it is expected to take round three years.
:04:41. > :04:43.A 56-year-old man arrested earlier today, in connection with the
:04:44. > :04:48.abduction and murder of Jean McConville in 1972 has been
:04:49. > :04:52.released. A report has been sent to the Public Prosecution Service. This
:04:53. > :04:58.lunchtime her family released doves, they also planted a tree in her
:04:59. > :05:00.memory at the Wave Trauma Centre, on what would have been her 80th
:05:01. > :05:05.birthday. I think the tree is a good way of
:05:06. > :05:08.representing my granny, it will nower in the month of May when it
:05:09. > :05:12.was her birthday and I will be something that will be there, just
:05:13. > :05:17.like my granny, her memory will be with all of us, so the tree
:05:18. > :05:22.represents that in a good way. A US aerospace firm which is one of
:05:23. > :05:26.the biggest employ years is up for sale. B/E Aerospace employs more
:05:27. > :05:31.than 800 people at its Kilkeel factory. It has hired an investment
:05:32. > :05:36.bank to advice it on a sale or merger. Our economics editor reports
:05:37. > :05:41.from Kilkeel. If you are lucky enough to fly first
:05:42. > :05:46.class there is a chance your seat was made here, at the factory in
:05:47. > :05:50.Kilkeel. The company's been here since 1993,
:05:51. > :05:55.when it bought a local firm. It employs more than 800 people.
:05:56. > :06:01.There are hundreds more jobs in the supply chain.
:06:02. > :06:05.This operation is just one part of a $10 billion First Lady based in
:06:06. > :06:10.Florida and the company has now effectively put up the for sale
:06:11. > :06:14.sign. In a statement they said it hired an investment bank to explore
:06:15. > :06:19.a possible sale or merger of the company. Alternatively there could
:06:20. > :06:24.be the sale, spin-off or other separation of selected businesses.
:06:25. > :06:28.The company is selling from a position of strength. 2013 was the
:06:29. > :06:33.best ever year and its share price has been soaring. However, the
:06:34. > :06:37.prospect of a change of ownership does cause uncertainty, often when
:06:38. > :06:42.one company buys another the new owners will look to find ways to cut
:06:43. > :06:46.costs. One local businessman says it is
:06:47. > :06:53.vital to the economic life of this town. I call on all our politicians,
:06:54. > :06:58.and all the relevant Government departments to make sure that this
:06:59. > :07:02.firm doesn't go and these jobs stay in the area, because the South Down
:07:03. > :07:07.area needs it and Northern Ireland needs it. It is not certain a deal
:07:08. > :07:13.will even be done. So the workers here could face weeks, if not months
:07:14. > :07:19.of uncertainty. The elderly woman who died following
:07:20. > :07:23.a car crash in six mile cross in County Tyrone was Bridget Mullen,
:07:24. > :07:29.she was 84 and from the area. Yesterday, another woman in her 80s
:07:30. > :07:32.died in a crash in County Down. The collision involving a lorry and car
:07:33. > :07:38.happened on down Patrick street. Her name has not been released.
:07:39. > :07:44.This is BBC Newsline. Plenty still to come tonight.
:07:45. > :07:46.I am in Coleraine where they are hoping the Giro will leave a lasting
:07:47. > :07:56.legacy. Join me in a few minutes. Now, should the sale of poppies be
:07:57. > :08:01.banned in the Student Union at Queen's University? That is an issue
:08:02. > :08:06.being debated at the university's Student Council this evening.
:08:07. > :08:11.For more than 90 years they have been used to remember soldiers who
:08:12. > :08:15.died in war. But in the past, poppies have also divided the two
:08:16. > :08:19.communities here. If this evening's vote is anything to go by, it is an
:08:20. > :08:26.issue that is going to continue to divide people in the future. If the
:08:27. > :08:30.In the propose motion was to be passed it wouldn't ban people from
:08:31. > :08:33.wearing poppies anywhere, but it would Mina students couldn't
:08:34. > :08:39.purchase one at the Student Union, where all the shops and bars are.
:08:40. > :08:42.At Queens there is a permanent memorial outside the building to
:08:43. > :08:46.remember those from the university who died in the two World Wars.
:08:47. > :08:50.Most of the students I spoke to couldn't understand why selling
:08:51. > :08:56.poppies in the union was an issue. I think that is a shame. I mean, you
:08:57. > :09:00.see things, down in the republic, moving forward where by the Irish
:09:01. > :09:04.Government are coming up to participate in Remembrance Day, and
:09:05. > :09:09.that things might be taken a step backwards here, it is a shame to
:09:10. > :09:12.see. It is not like the Student Union is telling you to wear it,
:09:13. > :09:15.itle allowing you to buy it. It is wrong to take that away from people.
:09:16. > :09:22.More young people are trying to move on from those issues so for one to
:09:23. > :09:25.bring that up seems immature. The student who proposed the motion did
:09:26. > :09:29.not want to be interviewed, in a statement he said it was not
:09:30. > :09:36.designed to cause offence, but to make the union a neutral and safe
:09:37. > :09:40.space. The republic's Justice Minister is
:09:41. > :09:44.hat hat has resigned after criticism in a report about police
:09:45. > :09:51.whistleblower, the announcement was made in the Dail. I am advising the
:09:52. > :09:54.President to accept the resignation of Alan Shatter as a member of the
:09:55. > :09:58.Government. I have accepted the resignation with regret, I would
:09:59. > :10:02.like to thank him for the service to the Government and country. With
:10:03. > :10:07.that announcement by the Taoiseach, there ended the career of an Irish
:10:08. > :10:10.Government minister rarely far from controversy. Alan Shatter became a
:10:11. > :10:16.government minister three years ago, in charge of justice and defence, an
:10:17. > :10:21.important role within the coalition. Two bugging scandal, a row over
:10:22. > :10:28.drivings' penalty point and failure to complete a breathalyser check
:10:29. > :10:34.kept him in the headlines, he had been accused of intervening in a
:10:35. > :10:41.tribunal. Today's resignation comes after receipt by the Government of a
:10:42. > :10:44.report into allegations made by the police whistleblower sergeant marry
:10:45. > :10:47.mechanic kad. A report critical of his Justice Department.
:10:48. > :10:57.The body was runs the odyssey has rejected a bid to buy part of the
:10:58. > :11:01.entertainment complex, the Irish cinema operator Omniplex had made an
:11:02. > :11:05.over to take over the Odyssey Pavilion. The trust has turned the
:11:06. > :11:08.deal down, saying conditions attached to the deal were
:11:09. > :11:12.unacceptable. Now, the Giro D'Italia cycle race
:11:13. > :11:15.starts on Friday, with the professional riders hitting the
:11:16. > :11:19.roads for three days of racing. Motorists will face disruption along
:11:20. > :11:24.the route and in Belfast some schools will be closed. Coleraine is
:11:25. > :11:29.holding its own cycle race and Donna is there.
:11:30. > :11:34.Yes, the traffic here is disrupted but nothing like what we can expect
:11:35. > :11:39.between Friday and Sunday as the Giro, you can hear the children's
:11:40. > :11:42.race is just starting here. The traffic disruption between Friday
:11:43. > :11:46.and Sunday as the Giro makes its way from Belfast, to the north coast,
:11:47. > :11:50.along the Antrim coast and from Armagh to Dublin is going to be
:11:51. > :11:56.substantial. There is a big welcome for the riders, but the vent is not
:11:57. > :12:00.going to happen without some sort of annoyance. BBC Newsline Mark Simpson
:12:01. > :12:05.reports on the knock on effect in Belfast. Right on the route of the
:12:06. > :12:08.Giro. One of the largest schools in East Belfast.
:12:09. > :12:13.And with road closures in place, mid-morning and late afternoon on
:12:14. > :12:19.Friday, these pupils have a problem. Especially getting home from school.
:12:20. > :12:23.The solution - most will be getting an unexpected day off We have
:12:24. > :12:28.decided it is too much of a risk to ask em to come into school if they
:12:29. > :12:31.are not sitting exams so the girls sitting a public exam will come in
:12:32. > :12:36.on the day, we will provide breakfast, open up early. Here is a
:12:37. > :12:40.look at the route. Titanic to Stormont. Back along the Newtownards
:12:41. > :12:43.Road before weaving round the streets of South Belfast and ending
:12:44. > :12:51.up at City Hall. All of these roads will be closed
:12:52. > :12:56.from 9.30 to 12.30. And from 4. Pm to 8.30. Stay away from route as
:12:57. > :13:02.enough as you can if you are not going to see the race. Pay attention
:13:03. > :13:05.to the sign, look at the leaflet, understand where the race is going
:13:06. > :13:09.to be and try and give it a wide berth. If you want the see the race,
:13:10. > :13:12.make your plans early. Understand where you want to get to, understand
:13:13. > :13:15.it will take time to get there. Leave plenty of time and use public
:13:16. > :13:19.transport where you can or walk or ride your bike. Bear in mind that
:13:20. > :13:23.you can't ride your bike on the route itself, which will be closed.
:13:24. > :13:27.Preparations for the big race are now almost complete. There is, of
:13:28. > :13:32.course, one thing you can't guarantee, and that is the weather.
:13:33. > :13:37.Fortunately, organisers have ordered thousands of these. Official
:13:38. > :13:42.waterproofs. Rain or no rain, the Tourist Board
:13:43. > :13:47.are hoping to show off the best sites of Northern Ireland, with
:13:48. > :13:51.their latest promotional video. The advice from the organisers is don't
:13:52. > :13:58.try this at home, but make sure you come and see the big race, starting
:13:59. > :14:02.on Friday. More details about those road
:14:03. > :14:09.closures can be found on the official traffic website, that is:
:14:10. > :14:13.the Giro will happen just along the coast from here but the whole area
:14:14. > :14:17.is embracing the two wheel fever. We saw the children's race starting,
:14:18. > :14:22.the adults race will start here in Coleraine, just later in about half
:14:23. > :14:27.an hour or so, tomorrow, about 800 cyclists will be coming this way, as
:14:28. > :14:31.part of an all Ireland endurance charity cycle as well.
:14:32. > :14:37.Professional cycling, well, it may not be the most popular of sports
:14:38. > :14:42.but maybe the Giro riders can change that. We have been meeting some of
:14:43. > :14:47.them. These cycling superstars are used to
:14:48. > :14:52.being the centre of media attention, the location, though, is a new
:14:53. > :15:00.experience for me of them. It is a bit of an unknown fact-
:15:01. > :15:06.factor. We are here nor the overall classification. It will be important
:15:07. > :15:09.not to win the race but to not lose time and that is going to be
:15:10. > :15:13.challenging. It is a building site behind the
:15:14. > :15:18.hotel. I hear them shouting in English, I was like, no we, it is
:15:19. > :15:24.Giro but we are in Ireland. Remember that, so it is, it is nice, I think
:15:25. > :15:28.it is a great opportunity for Irish fans to see what the Giro is about.
:15:29. > :15:32.I think the race is going to remember this weekend for many years
:15:33. > :15:37.to come. I think the welcome already from people in the hotel, and round
:15:38. > :15:40.town is incredible. It is really special.
:15:41. > :15:44.The welcome will be fantastic, I hope we can break the Irishster row
:15:45. > :15:48.type that it won't be raining It might start here but this remains an
:15:49. > :15:53.Italian sporting festival, and a sense of great national pride there.
:15:54. > :15:59.Having said that the Giro D'Italia is very much a worldwide event. It
:16:00. > :16:05.will be broadcast in 174 country, with an estimated television
:16:06. > :16:09.audience of almost 600 million. Over the next 48-hours this press room
:16:10. > :16:18.will be backed packed with over 1,000 journalists. It is unique and
:16:19. > :16:24.completely different. I don't know, I think the Giro d'Italia is one of
:16:25. > :16:29.those, it is most of all passion. Having embraced pink, local fans
:16:30. > :16:36.must show their passion for the biggest sporting event ever to come
:16:37. > :16:40.here. They're certainly passionate in Coleraine, the children are
:16:41. > :16:46.finishing their first lap of the race. Let's hear more about local
:16:47. > :16:53.cycling. You have invited a lot of local club, but how popular is the
:16:54. > :16:56.sport. Very popular. We're blessed, because we have the north coast to
:16:57. > :17:02.Sibling around. It is massive here and we are the biggest club in the
:17:03. > :17:08.area and it is going very well. It is all about getting kids and adults
:17:09. > :17:12.out. It is a big deal for our club and the town, because we are looking
:17:13. > :17:17.to raise awareness of cycle safety. It is not just about racing. Looking
:17:18. > :17:22.at the professional cycling, for someone who doesn't know about it,
:17:23. > :17:28.it seems with the Tour de-France and the drug scandals, it has been
:17:29. > :17:34.tarnished. How do you see it? I think we have moved on from that.
:17:35. > :17:40.The Lance Armstrong scandal is in everyone's minds, but there is
:17:41. > :17:46.passports and the drug tests are, they are tested all the time. Even
:17:47. > :17:51.if you wanted to do it, I don't know how you could get away wit. But
:17:52. > :17:59.local is different. Richard, there is a push here for more cycling. How
:18:00. > :18:03.safe are you on the road when you go out? I think in Northern Ireland,
:18:04. > :18:08.people respect cyclists on the road and there are so many cyclists there
:18:09. > :18:12.is almost a respect for them and people give them space. So sing
:18:13. > :18:17.generally in Northern Ireland -- so I think generally with the lack of
:18:18. > :18:22.traffic... Don't we need more cycle lanes. I think there should be a
:18:23. > :18:26.great deal of investment in cycle lanes on the roads and in the
:18:27. > :18:29.mountain bike trails. There is great benefit from that, health and
:18:30. > :18:34.economic, and the legacy of the Giro d'Italia will be significant. This
:18:35. > :18:38.is your first in having this race tonight, do you see it continuing?
:18:39. > :18:42.Yes. Just as the Olympics have a legacy and the Irish Open, this
:18:43. > :18:52.event the Giro d'Italia is as significant for the future. Thank
:18:53. > :18:55.you. Tomorrow, at 6. 30 I will be at the opening ceremony of the Giro
:18:56. > :19:02.d'Italia in Belfast. Join us for that. Now back to the studio. When
:19:03. > :19:04.we see magical things appearing on television and cinema screens, we're
:19:05. > :19:08.all pretty sophisticated viewers now... We know that monsters are not
:19:09. > :19:13.really stalking the streets. But how's it done? Well, a Belfast
:19:14. > :19:16.company has plunged into the industry and from very humble
:19:17. > :19:19.beginnings is now part of the UK company which worked on blockbusters
:19:20. > :19:21.like Captain Phillips, KickAss 2 and the Prince of Persia. Our arts
:19:22. > :19:29.correspondent Maggie Taggart reports. The visual effects business
:19:30. > :19:34.is in it is infancy in Northern Ireland, although the movie and
:19:35. > :19:39.television industry is flurishing -- flourishing the post production work
:19:40. > :19:45.is often sent elsewhere. An artist turned to Belfast and decided to set
:19:46. > :19:50.up her own studio. It is difficult when you have no track record, but
:19:51. > :19:58.we have some passionate artists here, but we didn't have a show reel
:19:59. > :20:04.to say we can do this. When we filmed Gillian Anderson on a movie
:20:05. > :20:10.called Robot Overlords, the robots were imaginary, now they're being
:20:11. > :20:18.added. It is work which takes days for a few seconds on screen. This is
:20:19. > :20:23.for Robot Overlords. The client has requested more people in the
:20:24. > :20:26.background. So they have shot other extras on blue screen and we have
:20:27. > :20:31.received that footage and we can take those people and put them into
:20:32. > :20:36.the new shot. And this is what the actual final version is. Michael
:20:37. > :20:43.worked as a printer but was made redundant, now his hobby has become
:20:44. > :20:50.his job. The company has been relaunched as Nvizible Belfast. They

:21:01. > :21:06.staff of 60 with trainers coming to Belfast to teach new skills. Belfast
:21:07. > :21:12.is becoming an exciting place with game of thrones and Dracula. We
:21:13. > :21:15.noticed there wasn't a visual effects presence. We thought it was
:21:16. > :21:23.a great opportunity and it is within the UK. So it is a big part for our
:21:24. > :21:28.clients to take the tax break. All the staff here were recruited after
:21:29. > :21:30.a two week intensive course here at the University of Ulster. We will
:21:31. > :21:37.feature their efforts tomorrow. The Ulster Unionist Party says the
:21:38. > :21:41.Stormont Executive has demonstrated an embarrassing lack of ambition
:21:42. > :21:43.when it comes to drawing down EU funding. The party launched its
:21:44. > :21:48.European and local government election manifesto in Co Fermanagh.
:21:49. > :21:59.Here's our South West reporter Julian Fowler. The Ulster unionist
:22:00. > :22:05.election wagon rolled into Enniskillen. Their candidate has led
:22:06. > :22:09.the way in securing peace funding they say. The U. P said it is time
:22:10. > :22:22.to renegotiate the relationship with the EU and supports a referendum. It
:22:23. > :22:26.says significant EU funding is needed to create a single shared
:22:27. > :22:30.education system and in the council elections it calls for flexibility
:22:31. > :22:36.in rates for businesses in difficulty. The party leader says
:22:37. > :22:42.the eleven council model for local government makes no sense. The logic
:22:43. > :22:46.which says going from 26 to eleven will not apply. And people will not
:22:47. > :22:51.save money. There are questions of local identify and come out of
:22:52. > :22:58.Stormont and turn left and you're in his burn. That makes no sense unless
:22:59. > :23:04.you see it as the DUP and Sinn Fein carving up the Northern Ireland. He
:23:05. > :23:08.is said not cop certained at -- concerned at the number of
:23:09. > :23:14.candidates, but that people turn out and vote. The TUV leader Jim
:23:15. > :23:17.Allister says the European and Local Government elections are a roll call
:23:18. > :23:20.for those who disagree with constant pandering to Sinn Fein. Launching
:23:21. > :23:25.his party's manifesto he said the poll was timely. And he claimed his
:23:26. > :23:29.party's message was resonating very well with the electorate. But he
:23:30. > :23:32.denied claims by the DUP leader Peter Robinson that the pro-union
:23:33. > :23:35.vote was being shredded - saying all shades of unionist opinion was
:23:36. > :23:41.represented, which meant the vote would be maximised. On Europe, Mr
:23:42. > :23:46.Allister claimed the European Union could not be reformed and that the
:23:47. > :23:50.UK would be better off leaving. He also claimed votes for his party
:23:51. > :23:56.would be taken as a barometer of Unionist discontent. I'm in the
:23:57. > :24:00.business of fight fog win. It -- fighting to win. It is over to
:24:01. > :24:06.people what they want to do. If they want to create the political
:24:07. > :24:10.earthquake to shake things up then vote TUV. I'm finding a real
:24:11. > :24:15.appetite for shaking things up and I think we will do well. But that is
:24:16. > :24:33.in the hands of people. Now time for the weather. Good evening, those
:24:34. > :24:39.stylish Giro upon poncho ises, I think we will need them. It is still
:24:40. > :24:45.quite blustery, but the winds will ease and if you can get out. Later
:24:46. > :24:49.tonight patchy rain in the south will edge northwards. Temperatures
:24:50. > :24:53.around five degrees in rural spots. Tomorrow, the rain is back.
:24:54. > :24:59.Initially it may be quite patchy and there may be some dry gaps. But they
:25:00. > :25:04.will not be to be defended on -- depended on. If it is dry when you
:25:05. > :25:10.leave home, the rain won't be too far away. It will be wet on the
:25:11. > :25:14.roads with puddles and large areas of water. The winds will be strong
:25:15. > :25:18.and temperatures around 10 degrees. That wet weather and cloudy skies
:25:19. > :25:23.continues through the rest of the morning. The rain will become
:25:24. > :25:28.persistent around lunchtime and into the'vy afternoon. But it should ease
:25:29. > :25:33.away. During the latter part of day, there will be some brightness. Still
:25:34. > :25:38.some showers, but some dry spells and we should 14 degrees in the
:25:39. > :25:42.sunshine. Tomorrow, there will be some heavy showers and thunder
:25:43. > :25:49.storms. They will continue into Friday morning. So to cheer us up we
:25:50. > :25:54.are keeping the pink Giro theme. It is good to know the pink day is
:25:55. > :26:00.waterproof. At least these sheep doesn't seem to be any streaks after
:26:01. > :26:05.today's rain. Friday starting off wet and showery. But the showers
:26:06. > :26:09.will ease and many places dry by Friday evening. That should include
:26:10. > :26:15.Belfast for the important time trials. But low pressure is sitting
:26:16. > :26:20.over us on Saturday. So Saturday will bring wet weather and some
:26:21. > :26:24.strong winds on Sunday. Our late summary is at 10.25. You can also
