That's all from us. Don't forget, there's a first look

:00:00.:00:00.

The victim of a racist assault says his attackers beat him

:00:00.:00:11.

and threatened to burn his home and run down his young daughter.

:00:12.:00:15.

The man was targeted off the Springfield Road in

:00:16.:00:17.

This evening an anti-racism protest was held in the area.

:00:18.:00:21.

Today good wishes came to the door of Ade's home in West Belfast

:00:22.:00:27.

but last night, just yards away, he was attacked in broad daylight.

:00:28.:00:33.

This is a man, this is someone with a family, you just want to get up,

:00:34.:00:38.

I said, excuse me, don't call me those names.

:00:39.:00:45.

They said, what are you going to do, you're going to get

:00:46.:00:48.

your house burnt down, we will run you and your daughter down.

:00:49.:00:51.

He suffered cuts and bruises and needed stitches to

:00:52.:00:55.

When I stood up there was blood coming out of my mouth.

:00:56.:01:03.

Two men arrested in connection with the attack have been released

:01:04.:01:06.

pending further enquiries. There is shock in the community.

:01:07.:01:10.

We are ashamed that racist attacks have been visited on our community.

:01:11.:01:14.

We know the value of the ethnic minorities in West Belfast.

:01:15.:01:18.

We see it every day in the Royal Victoria Hospital, working

:01:19.:01:22.

They are our neighbours and we support them.

:01:23.:01:28.

Since coming to Northern Ireland, he has lived in several places

:01:29.:01:39.

around Belfast and has been the victim of racist attacks before.

:01:40.:01:42.

It wasn't my fault I was born with my colour, it wasn't their fault

:01:43.:01:46.

If you cut me, if you cut them, we have the same colour of blood.

:01:47.:01:52.

He says he and his family will not be

:01:53.:01:54.

threatened out of West Belfast and tonight dozens of people turned out

:01:55.:01:58.

And the PSNI said tonight that a third man, who is 19,

:01:59.:02:03.

had been arrested in connection with the incident.

:02:04.:02:05.

The Director of Public Prosecutions has told a committee

:02:06.:02:08.

of MPs that letters sent to so called on-the-runs telling them

:02:09.:02:11.

they were not wanted by the police are "largely

:02:12.:02:13.

But the widow of an RUC officer murdered by the IRA described

:02:14.:02:19.

Our home affairs correspondent Vincent Kearney reports.

:02:20.:02:31.

Part-time RUC officer Dougie Carruthers was killed

:02:32.:02:33.

when an IRA bomb exploded under his car outside his home in May 1991.

:02:34.:02:37.

14 years later, his widow went to Downing Street to

:02:38.:02:40.

urge Tony Blair not to introduce legislation aimed at ensuring those

:02:41.:02:43.

classified as on-the-runs wouldn't spend time in jail.

:02:44.:02:49.

Today at Stormont she spoke of her anger at learning that

:02:50.:02:52.

Tony Blair's government had operated a scheme I feel deep hurt and

:02:53.:02:58.

Which resulted in letters being sent to republican suspects assuring them

:02:59.:03:08.

they were not wanted by the police. I feel deep hurt and my husband

:03:09.:03:13.

memory trampled upon, along with the other husbands and

:03:14.:03:20.

family members that were murdered. Earlier,

:03:21.:03:23.

the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee heard evidence from

:03:24.:03:24.

a man at the heart of the debate. Barra McGrory is now Director

:03:25.:03:27.

of Public Prosecutions, but in his previous role

:03:28.:03:30.

as a solicitor he acted on behalf of Sinn Fein and submitted names

:03:31.:03:33.

of republican suspects to the police asking if they were wanted

:03:34.:03:36.

by the prosecution authorities. Mr McGrory, do you accept that

:03:37.:03:39.

in terms of your standing you are the personification of the poacher

:03:40.:03:42.

turned gamekeeper in this case? You have said that to me before,

:03:43.:03:46.

and it is not a term I would The existence of the letters came to

:03:47.:03:50.

light in February when an Old Bailey judge ruled that John Downey would

:03:51.:03:54.

not stand trial for murder Barra McGrory said that

:03:55.:03:58.

the letters sent to almost 200 republicans were of little value

:03:59.:04:03.

if new evidence emerges. Is your view that these

:04:04.:04:12.

letters are worthless? Maybe not entirely worthless but I

:04:13.:04:14.

think they are. He was asked about

:04:15.:04:21.

the legal status of the letters. These letters are

:04:22.:04:26.

of not great legal significance. anyone who is in receipt of one of

:04:27.:04:38.

these letters... Peter Robinson later told

:04:39.:04:42.

the committee his party had not known about the scheme until the

:04:43.:04:50.

collapse of the John Downey trial. He said it was a dark chapter in the

:04:51.:04:53.

chronicles of government conduct. Meanwhile,

:04:54.:04:57.

the Secretary of State has confirmed that royal pardons were used to free

:04:58.:04:59.

former supergrasses in the 1980s. But Theresa Villiers says she thinks

:05:00.:05:03.

it would be wrong to publicly name the former terrorist prisoners who

:05:04.:05:06.

were given a Royal Prerogative I don't think it would be helpful to

:05:07.:05:09.

discuss individual names and cases. It has not been the practice

:05:10.:05:17.

in Northern Ireland to publish the identity

:05:18.:05:20.

of peoples who received the RPM. I can see a case for doing this

:05:21.:05:25.

differently in the future, but I am not convinced making a change

:05:26.:05:29.

retrospectively would be wise. The First and Deputy First Ministers

:05:30.:05:33.

have been invited to Brazil next It's understood they have been

invited to visit Marfrig, the Brazilian parent company

of the official sponsors of the World Cup which starts this

has more. Moy Park's parent company Marfrig is
