:09:09. > :09:14.The prosecuting barrister gave his opening statement.
:09:15. > :09:17.He said the musician had met his alleged victim at

:10:40. > :10:43.How will NIE go about making the cuts?
:10:44. > :10:53.First, it is worth stressing that NIE says there will be no compulsory
:10:54. > :10:59.lay-offs here. It is looking for 120 volunteers. If it gets them, it will
:11:00. > :11:04.trim its workforce by about 10%. Discussions have begun with staff

:11:09. > :11:13.cutting costs but the Unite union has expressed its opposition, saying
:11:14. > :11:21.this is a company in good financial shape. Last year it announced an
:11:22. > :11:25.operating profit of ?112 million. The real issue isn't about the level
:11:26. > :11:31.of staffing or staffing costs, but the level of dividends. It is about
:11:32. > :11:36.private versus public ownership and maybe the real trick in this issue
:11:37. > :11:42.is to bring this matter back into public ownership, bring the whole
:11:43. > :11:45.electricity generating ownership back into public ownership so the

:12:58. > :13:00.The letters dealt with an application for a grant
:13:01. > :13:03.in the 1960s to carry out building improvements at Termonbacca.
:13:04. > :13:06.They revealed that the Government was seeking details of the order's
:13:07. > :13:09.accounts before approving the funding, and central to the
:13:10. > :13:18.application at the time was the then Home Affairs Minister, Bill Craig.
:13:19. > :13:30.In his memo to colleagues, written in 1964, Mr Craig said if voluntary
:13:31. > :13:35.homes like term and back-up were not available, children would have to be
:13:36. > :13:42.accommodated by the authorities at great offence. He
:13:43. > :13:46.standards of accommodation at Termonbacca at the time fell well
:13:47. > :13:49.below what his department expected in a home for deprived children.
:13:50. > :13:56.The inquiry is now hearing closing statements at the end
:13:57. > :14:06.also today, as is closing submission, the board heard it was

:14:20. > :14:22.Counsel for the board also said any attempt during that period to admit
:14:23. > :14:25.children from voluntary homes into state care would have been regarded

:17:59. > :18:02.seemed like a good way to get out of class, but they've been surprised
:18:03. > :18:08.at the bonds they've built up. First week we came, we didn't really
:18:09. > :18:10.know anyone, but the second week, God bless all of them, they really
:18:11. > :18:14.are heart-warming. They are funny, they tell jokes and staff. Do you

:18:26. > :18:29.granny passed away not that long ago so it is good to come and have fun.
:18:30. > :18:33.And the generation gap has been very easily bridged.

:22:30. > :22:36.you were not wanted at the club any more? I made the interests -- the
:22:37. > :22:41.decision in the interests of the club and myself and the supporters
:22:42. > :22:46.and the players and I am at peace with that decision. But after
:22:47. > :22:47.leaving local football, David Jeffrey is determined to be back
:22:48. > :22:53.soon. The GAA's referees? committee meets
:22:54. > :22:55.in Croke Park tonight to review several high-profile incidents
:22:56. > :22:58.regarding a controversial new rule. The black card, which allows
:22:59. > :23:02.a player who has been sent off to be replaced by a substitute,
:23:03. > :23:04.is designed to clean up the game and prevent cynical fouling.
:23:05. > :23:08.But some managers have been complaining about the inconsistent
:23:09. > :23:10.application of the rule. Pat McAneaney, chairman of
:23:11. > :23:13.the referees committee, today told BBC Newsline that he accepted the
:23:14. > :23:21.enforcement of the black card must improve, adding it was here to stay.
:23:22. > :23:24.After over a quarter of a century, the decision to revive
:23:25. > :23:27.the Londonderry marathon last year has given a rise to a resurgence
:23:28. > :23:30.of runners in the city. The event, which was part of the UK
:23:31. > :23:33.city of culture celebrations, has attracted even more participants
:23:34. > :23:35.for this weekend?s event. Here's our North West reporter,
:23:36. > :23:48.Keiron Tourish. 1800 people took part in last
:23:49. > :23:52.year's event. The runners range from serious competitors to enthusiastic
:23:53. > :23:56.joggers. It was the first time the marathon had taken place since the
:23:57. > :24:01.mid-19 80s and it was such a success that the organisers were urged to
:24:02. > :24:07.stage it again this year as a legacy of event from the City of Culture
:24:08. > :24:12.year. There is a total up surge in people keeping fit and healthy and
:24:13. > :24:17.when you come to the city there are runners everywhere and that pathways
:24:18. > :24:29.in the city lend themselves to a running city. There is no part of
:24:30. > :24:35.the city that we have missed out in the course, and it is mostly flat.
:24:36. > :24:40.The marathon gets under way at 8:30am on Sunday. Organisers have
:24:41. > :24:49.urged everyone eating part and spectators to get here early. --
:24:50. > :24:54.taking part. More than 2000 people getting their trainers on in Derry
:24:55. > :25:00.this weekend. Now let's see what the weather has in store. It has been a
:25:01. > :25:05.beautiful afternoon across much of Northern Ireland and in the west we
:25:06. > :25:09.saw lovely clear skies, temperatures up to 20 degrees in Enniskillen.
:25:10. > :25:15.Things go downhill overnight as we go through into this evening, this
:25:16. > :25:20.skies start to cloud up and rain works its way in from the east
:25:21. > :25:24.overnight. The only upside to that is that temperatures remain quite
:25:25. > :25:30.mild, I think staying in double figures in many places overnight.
:25:31. > :25:34.Thursday has a different feel to it, a drizzly patch rain continuing
:25:35. > :25:40.through the day. It might clear a little in the day but still plenty
:25:41. > :25:44.of cloud around, so we can say goodbye to these lovely clear skies
:25:45. > :25:48.and say hello to something more cloudy. If you are out, one thing
:25:49. > :25:54.you will notice tomorrow is the temperature, quite different from
:25:55. > :25:59.today. Today in the West we saw highs of 20, tomorrow under that
:26:00. > :26:05.cloud we will struggle to see any better than 12 or 13, so that
:26:06. > :26:09.drizzly light rain is a threat or ever you are, especially across the
:26:10. > :26:13.East Coast, so not the best day. Lots of you have been out with your
:26:14. > :26:19.cameras taking some fantastic pictures over the last few days. I
:26:20. > :26:24.wanted to share a few of you. -- share a few of them with you. At
:26:25. > :26:30.least all this rain will be good for the growers as we go into Friday.
:26:31. > :26:38.Friday might be a day to get your camera out. It is warmer, plenty of
:26:39. > :26:41.cloud around and still showers but we will get a few breaks which will
:26:42. > :26:45.help those temperatures on the way up, and that general trend of
:26:46. > :26:51.temperatures climbing continues on Saturday, so look at some of these
:26:52. > :26:55.temperatures. That is not too bad, still quite a lot of cloud but we
:26:56. > :27:01.will get some brighter spells as well, the odd shower were on
:27:02. > :27:07.Saturday, so towards the weekend, you can say that Saturday is the
:27:08. > :27:12.pick of the day is before a little bit of a change arrives on Sunday.
:27:13. > :27:21.Just time for a recap of the main headlines. The first and deputy
:27:22. > :27:23.ministers have clashed after peter Robinson defended a North Belfast
:27:24. > :27:30.pastor who made comments about Muslims. And the Police Federation
:27:31. > :27:35.has criticised senior officers for failing to protect officers during
:27:36. > :27:42.disorder last summer. Our late summary is at 10:25pm. You can also
:27:43. > :27:45.keep in touch via Facebook and Twitter. Have a good night.
