Two men who were the victims of a racist attack | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
at the weekend have now left their home in North Belfast. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
One of the men needed hospital treatment following an assault | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Kelly Bonner spoke to the men earlier today | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Yesterday afternoon a man approached Muhammad Asif | :00:23. | :00:31. | |
Khattak outside his home, screaming racial abuse before assaulting him. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
He managed to get into the house but two men kicked the door | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
I managed to hide myself in the toilet and I closed the door. | :00:39. | :00:47. | |
He pushed the door and I was so scared at the time | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
He started punching me and kicking me. | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
He beat me everywhere with a bottle in his hand. | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
His friend was also attacked as he tried to defend him. | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
I still remember the face of that fellow, the rage was coming out | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
Racially abusing us, saying dirty Arabs, get out of our | :01:16. | :01:25. | |
This was the second attack on the men in 12 hours. | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
Earlier yesterday morning a bottle was thrown through | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
There was controversy over comments made about Islam by Pastor James | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
Muhammad Asif Khattak called on Peter Robinson to help diffuse | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
That is a fire he lit in the jungle and I am one | :01:48. | :01:55. | |
If the First Minister came forward and he apologised in public, on air, | :01:56. | :02:07. | |
to the Muslim community, people would be really happy. | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
The MP for the area condemned the attack. | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
Having called with the two gentlemen, I am appalled | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
This should never have happened and I share the outrage many of the | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
Indeed, there are people living in that street of other ethnic | :02:23. | :02:35. | |
minorities and they feel outraged at being branded in this way. | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
A 57-year-old man was remanded and has been released on bail. | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
An 18-year-old woman has been charged with disorderly behaviour | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
Earlier today, Pastor James McConnell arrived at the house to | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
He said he was ashamed and angry at the attack, urging the two men | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
The Ulster Unionist leader, Mike Nesbitt, has tonight visited | :03:00. | :03:08. | |
He arrived carrying a copy of the Koran. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
Mr Nesbitt spent over an hour speaking to members | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
of the Islamic community about a range of issues including | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
And he urged the First minister Peter Robinson to | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
make a public apology for recent comments about Muslims. | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
I think that the First Minister has to speak representing all of the | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
people of Northern Ireland and I would accept that as a challenge and | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
I think you got it wrong on this occasion. I think, like all human | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
beings, we get things wrong and we say things we do not really mean or | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
express similar ways we perhaps could have thought through better. I | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
think it would be useful if the First Minister was to make a public | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
apology. Definitely, a public apology would be helpful and we | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
already have accepted his apology in private and when he comes to the | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
centre to meet more Muslims, he could make up his mind. | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
A woman in her late 70s has died after a house fire in Larne. | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
The blaze started in an upstairs bedroom of her home | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
Firefighters rescued the woman from the building but she died | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
It's thought the fire was started accidentally. | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
The SDLP's Nichola Mallon has become the new Lord Mayor of Belfast, | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
succeeding Sinn Fein's Mairtin O' Muilleoir. | :04:30. | :04:30. | |
Ms Mallon, who represents the Oldpark area of the city, | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
was appointed at a full council meeting earlier this evening. | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
Maire Hendron of the Alliance Party will serve as her deputy, | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
making it the first time in history that women have held | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
I want to write how fast a city for everyone, I want to bring the Lord | :04:43. | :04:56. | |
Mayor roll out of City Hall and into the lives of people, I want to | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
connect with people in the city who are often invisible and I want to | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
support women and showcase the best of Belfast. For me, that is the | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
people and we have so many unsung heroes in businesses and | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
communities, volunteers and carers and want to spend this year | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
Celbridge in all other great efforts. It is a privilege. | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
Considering that I am coming to the end of my political career. It is a | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
great honour that the party has given me this. | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
And the new Mayor of Derry City Council is the | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
Gary Middleton of the DUP was elected Deputy Mayor | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
In Newtownabbey, Dineen Walker of the DUP, who | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
branded Anna Lo a racist on social media, has not attended a meeting | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
of the council, where she had been expected to be elected Mayor. | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
The council accepts the congratulations of friends and | :05:45. | :05:54. | |
colleagues at his election to the office. But until last week, this | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
was not the plan for the 25-year-old politician. In fact, another DUP | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
councillor was meant to have the chain around her neck. His party | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
colleague, Dineen Walker, was hotly tipped to take the position. That is | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
until her comments on social media last week branding Anna Lo of the | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
Alliance Party a racist. But only was she not elected, she did not | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
attend the ceiling's meeting. This post on the Facebook page was what | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
scuppered her role. She later apologised and deleted it but with | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
the party mired in a race riot, word came down that she was not to be | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
proposed. When we fill these positions, we have discussions with | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
the group and senior members and with local constituents and the | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
prevailing view was that the counsellor should be nominated to | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
the position and I am dilated he got that. Was at the view that | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
Councillor Walker should not be proposed? There are always arguments | :06:54. | :07:03. | |
put forward for some figures and the overwhelming majority supported | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
Councillor Hogg. Alliance noted -- threatened to vote against. We did | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
not have to discuss that because of the action and she was proposed, | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
that would have been discussed within the gripping and we would | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
have come to a decision as to what we would do. Given what I saw | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
happening, I would have had great difficulty supporting her. | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
Councillor Hogg will have a shorter than usual rule in the top job. The | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
council will be supplanted by a new super council in ten months. | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
A rider has been killed during today's Supersport Race | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
Bob Price, who was 65 and from Gloucestershire, died following | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
The news comes after a weekend when the sport paid tribute to the late | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
Simon Andrews, who died after a crash at this year's North West 200. | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
Thousands of bikers took part in a special parade on the Isle of Man. | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
Looking ahead to a story we'll be covering tomorrow | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
We find out if the traffic scheme with new bus lanes introduced | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
in Belfast 18 months ago has worked to reduce the number of vehicles | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
That's here on BBC Newsline on the radio programme | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
Here's Barra Best with the weather forecast. | :08:18. | :08:30. | |
We have a few showers around at the moment and most will die away and | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
for most it will be a dry night with temperatures falling no lower than | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
11 degrees for many. Lots of cloud around and quite a bit. Around | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
tomorrow morning so it is and will start but it will brighten up | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
through the day with some spells of sunshine and also some scattered | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
showers. If you showers mainly in the West first thing, East has a dry | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
start but even here, showers will move injuring the day. The bulk of | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
the wet weather will be in northern areas of Britain, through the | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
north-east of England and to Scotland with heavy downpours. The | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
best sunshine will be across Ireland, good spells of sunshine and | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
even here, the odd shower. Further east, some spells sunshine and | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
scattered showers for parts of Wales, cloudier towards the | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
south-east of England but even here, temperatures managing 20 | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
degrees. For Northern Ireland tomorrow, keep the umbrella because | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
some showers will be getting anywhere. In the sunshine, not too | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
bad, the wind is quite light and temperatures of 16 or maybe 17. | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
Towards the middle of the week, we are expecting more scattered showers | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
to come and go on Wednesday with temperatures down to below average | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
and managing just 13 degrees towards the North Coast. The best day of the | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
week is shaping up to be Thursday with plenty of dry, bright weather | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
We have a few showers around at the moment and most will die away and | :09:57. | :10:07. | |
You can't do this. You can't... Step aside. | :10:08. | :10:19. |
