Hello and welcome to BBC Newsline. The Deputy Leader of NI21, John | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
McCallister, says the public rift in the party is because he instigated | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
an external investigation into rumours relating to the party | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
leader, Basil McCrea. Last night Mr McAllister described NI21's decision | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
to drop its unionist designation as crazy and dysfunctional. In an | :00:22. | :00:30. | |
exclusive interview for The View, Mr McCallister apologised to NI21's | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
supporters for the current turmoil within the leadership. Two | :00:34. | :00:45. | |
candidates and all of those who worked hard to develop this. But the | :00:46. | :00:53. | |
promise I would is we are going to sort these issues and we are going | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
to resolve this. We are going to address them and we're going to get | :00:58. | :01:05. | |
holding the party and what it but I am truly sorry to the voters and the | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
people who feel that we have let them down. And we have missed an | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
opportunity, which is true, particularly the candidates who have | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
walked the streets for three weeks and have been so bitterly | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
disappointed. Meanwhile, NI21's leader, Basil McCrea, has told The | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
View he's confident he has done nothing wrong and will respond if | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
anyone brings any complaints to his attention. In another twist, the | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
NI21 European candidate, Tina McKenzie, has tonight resigned from | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
the party's executive. And you can see more on this developing story on | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
The View immediately after this bulletin. A man who attacked a Newry | :01:41. | :01:56. | |
student with an iron bar in Chicago four years ago is being sentenced | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
there this evening. Heriberto Viramontes was found guilty of | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
attacking Natasha McShane from Silverbridge, leaving her with | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
permanent brain damage. He was sentenced Peter Coulter reports. The | :02:09. | :02:20. | |
attack left Natasha McShane brain-damaged and in this footage, | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
Heriberto Viramontes can be seen using her credit card moments | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
afterwards and in October last year, it was found guilty of the attempted | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
murder of girls. He was led into court this morning in a red jumpsuit | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
and had to listen to impact statements from the family of | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
Heriberto Viramontes. The group Natasha McShane. Speaking in court, | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
her friend said it was a cowardly, evil beating and she told the judge | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
she still has seizures and could not drive or read a bike. She said, | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
Heriberto Viramontes tried to murder my friend. My life, my dreams were | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
altered by this man. The attackers made headlines around the world but | :02:59. | :03:09. | |
the biggest impact has her that her daughter 's she said she still | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
requires 24-hour care and has a team of ten people to which he words | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
together and has been able to take a few steps without a wheelchair. She | :03:21. | :03:31. | |
said, she is alive he may not be a monster but Chicago is Students and | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
staff at Belfast Metropolitan College have described scenes of | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
chaos at the Millfield campus today when a student was stabbed. The | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
26-year-old man is in a serious but stable condition in hospital. The | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
alleged attacker was also taken to hospital with minor injuries but has | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
now been arrested. Andy West's report contains some graphic | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
eyewitness accounts. Witnesses describe a scene of pandemonium as | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
the attacker ran from the toilets in this building on the college campus | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
covered in blood and holding a knife. I ran into the toilet with | :04:03. | :04:13. | |
two boys from class and I could just see a guy lying on the ground with | :04:14. | :04:24. | |
blood everywhere. And then we heard screaming and an older teacher or | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
pupil was standing in the cubicle beside us and he was shouting, give | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
me the knife. I heard the door opening and I just seen the guy | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
lying on the ground with what looked like blood coming from his neck. I | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
could not see the knife. It seemed to be a Stanley knife or a penknife. | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
These students watched in horror as one of their teachers was grabbed by | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
the attacker in the car park. They grabbed her and she thought he was | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
going to attack so she started to shout for help. She was in shock, | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
she could not talk. I heard her saying it was not her blood. She was | :05:03. | :05:14. | |
not injured? No. The 21-year-old alleged attacker was taken to the | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
Mater Hospital before being arrested by police. The 26-year-old victim | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
was rushed to the Royal Victoria Hospital and we understand he is in | :05:21. | :05:30. | |
a serious but stable condition. Detectives in the Serious Crime | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
Branch are taking steps to obtain all the material from the Boston | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
College oral history of the Troubles. Some of the testimony | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
gathered for the US project was used earlier this month to question the | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
Sinn Fein leader, Gerry Adams. The PSNI already gained access to some | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
of the tapes following a lengthy legal battle. More than 40 former | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
republican and loyalist gunmen and bombers active during the Troubles | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
gave interviews to the college. The PSNI says it has a duty to fully | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
investigate all serious crime, including murder. The college says | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
it has not received any requests regarding the matter. Polls have | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
closed in the European and local council elections. Counting begins | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
in the morning for the 11 new super-councils and the final results | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
for the 462 seats are expected to be revealed on Saturday. It's going to | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
take a bit longer before we know who won the three European seats. | :06:20. | :06:28. | |
Martina Purdy has this report. The polls opened at seven o'clock in the | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
morning amid little expectation that turnout would exceed the mid-50s. It | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
is expected that Martina Anderson would top the poll in the given the | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
plethora of unionist candidates. Standing for the largest unionist | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
party, Diane Dodds is expected to be re-elected. Voting for the first | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
time as the Ulster Unionist leader, Mike Nesbitt cast his vote in both | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
polls, his party's European candidate is hoping to be | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
re-elected, having served since 1989 but fortunes could depend on how | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
well this former DUP MEP and the TV leader has polled. The SCOP and | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
Alliance are among ten parties vying for the three seats. Belfast City | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
Hall is among the current centres for the council elections and we | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
should know my late afternoon tomorrow those first results. It | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
will be Monday before we will know who triumphs in the European polls. | :07:25. | :07:32. | |
Rory McIlroy has carded a four under par 68 in his opening round at the | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
PGA Championship at Wentworth. Rory bogeyed the 17th before picking up a | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
shot on the last. He scored two eagles, which included this | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
world-class shot on the par four seventh. Time for the weather | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
forecast with Geoff Maskell. A time you have got two different eagles on | :07:50. | :07:58. | |
the but the most part and I dry to just and I try to play at the best I | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
could. And move onto and it added up to | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
after some torrential downpours and the odd lightning strike overnight, | :08:10. | :08:28. | |
any of those removing as the temperature drops to tomorrow plenty | :08:29. | :08:43. | |
and some nothing in terms of the intensity a decent covering of cloud | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
and across the East coast but what is driving the weather is this that | :08:49. | :08:59. | |
is working its way that means and so there will be and that band of rain | :09:00. | :09:10. | |
across Wales and the central a much drier day than we have seen today, | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
the and the temperatures will really be noticed, topping at around ten or | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
11 degrees as warming up by the time we get always a risk of similar for | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
Sunday and just casting our ice towards the Bank Holiday what we may | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
not escape without a little bit of drizzly That's it for now. You can | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
