:00:18. > :00:21.He was joy to be around - one of the tributes paid to
:00:22. > :00:24.the little boy who died in a tragedy on the north coast.
:00:25. > :00:28.The woman stabbed to death in her home - her partner's

:00:50. > :00:51.It's official - one of the biggest tournaments in golf
:00:52. > :00:54.is coming back to Royal Portrush after more than half a century.
:00:55. > :00:58.I'll be live on the course with all the reaction.
:00:59. > :01:07.The fine weather is set to continue - I'll have the full forecast later.
:01:08. > :01:10.Logan Crawford - described today as a wonderful wee
:01:11. > :01:16.The seven-year-old died after falling from a cliff
:01:17. > :01:30.He'd been playing with friends not far from where he lived.
:01:31. > :01:36.Logan Crawford fell along the coastline close to his home, a
:01:37. > :01:43.dangerous coastline. Today a police car beside the spot where he fell
:01:44. > :01:48.down a sheer cliff face. The area is known for its beauty. It was while
:01:49. > :01:52.playing on a summers day that this tragedy unfolded. Leaving a family
:01:53. > :01:55.grieving and almost 200 children coming to terms with the loss of
:01:56. > :02:00.their friend. Logan's School principal said he was a wonderful
:02:01. > :02:05.boy with a real zest for life. Everyone loved him because he was a
:02:06. > :02:08.character and such a joy be around. The exact circumstances of how the
:02:09. > :02:12.little boy fail are still being investigated. We learned backs onto
:02:13. > :02:17.the spot where the tragedy happened in an area popular with tourists for
:02:18. > :02:22.its breathtaking beauty but locals know that the scenery can be matched
:02:23. > :02:26.by danger. The rescue services, all too familiar with that danger, and
:02:27. > :02:33.always among the first to respond. Our lifeboat was first on the scene
:02:34. > :02:36.here, along with the local coastguard. With the cliffs, we knew
:02:37. > :02:44.that the child had fallen over the cliff. You just try and do your very
:02:45. > :02:49.best. Unfortunately after the child was found, the father was on the
:02:50. > :02:55.shoreline, so we took him on board the lifeboat and chicken here and he
:02:56. > :02:58.was taken to the hospital. The father 's journey to hospital ended
:02:59. > :03:04.in heartache, learning that his son did not survive the fall. The rescue
:03:05. > :03:07.services responded to three emergencies along the coast
:03:08. > :03:12.yesterday. In one, and injured fisherman was rescued and in
:03:13. > :03:18.another, a diver lost his life, and last night, this tragedy. Today, the
:03:19. > :03:20.police investigation is still evident along the busy tourist route
:03:21. > :03:35.and at the entrance to the scene of the tragedy, a tribute.
:03:36. > :03:38.A 41-year-old man has been in court charged with the murder
:03:39. > :03:42.It's understood that mother of two, Denise Dunlop, was stabbed several
:03:43. > :03:49.times in her Ballymena home early yesterday morning.
:03:50. > :03:55.Denise Dunlop was found in the early hours of yesterday morning, it was
:03:56. > :04:00.thought she had been stabbed several times with a knife. Forensics teams
:04:01. > :04:03.spend much of the day in and around the home. The houses there were
:04:04. > :04:07.previously used as family accommodation for soldiers on the
:04:08. > :04:13.site of the former Saint Patrick 's barracks. They were taken over by a
:04:14. > :04:16.housing association and civilian families moved in late last year.
:04:17. > :04:21.The death shocked many locals. They described the area is
:04:22. > :04:24.The death shocked many locals. They quiet and peaceful. Before Coleraine
:04:25. > :04:31.court this morning was a partner of Denise Dunlop. He is a 41-year-old
:04:32. > :04:34.who is unemployed and from Portland on. He is accused of the murder of
:04:35. > :04:40.the 32-year-old. During the two-minute hearing, Richard McAuley,
:04:41. > :04:44.dressed in a blue top and blue trousers, sat impassive in the dock.
:04:45. > :04:48.He spoke only ones to confirm that he understood the charge. A
:04:49. > :04:52.detective told the court that he believed he could connect him to the
:04:53. > :04:57.offence. He was remanded in custody until the 10th of July. No
:04:58. > :05:00.application was made for appeal during the brief hearing.
:05:01. > :05:03.The worst kept secret in the golfing world was officially
:05:04. > :05:07.confirmed today with the news that the Open will be held in
:05:08. > :05:14.It's the biggest golf tournament and since we broke the story here on
:05:15. > :05:19.BBC Newsline last week, the reaction has been very positive from sports
:05:20. > :05:39.We could not have asked for better weather to showcase the Norfolk
:05:40. > :05:43.coast. It has been a glorious afternoon and in a few moments, we
:05:44. > :05:47.will assess the potential economic benefits of today's announcement but
:05:48. > :05:53.this is, without doubt, an historic day for this iconic golf course. It
:05:54. > :05:57.will once again welcomed the blessed players -- the best players on the
:05:58. > :06:05.planet. The character jug glistened in the sunshine, the Open dream, is
:06:06. > :06:12.now a jealousy. I suppose this is just about the world 's worst
:06:13. > :06:16.secret! On behalf of the organisers, I can confirm that we have invited
:06:17. > :06:22.Will Portrush both club to become a guest venue for the Open jumping
:06:23. > :06:25.ship. The significance of the announcement, not just in a sporting
:06:26. > :06:30.context, was reinforced by the First Minister. This is what peace and
:06:31. > :06:34.stability looks like. From an executive point of view, this just
:06:35. > :06:39.would not have happened, these men would not have dreamt of coming here
:06:40. > :06:46.20 years ago. This shows the new Northern Ireland in a new era. I
:06:47. > :06:52.think this provides people with the hope of what normality looks like.
:06:53. > :06:56.Several million pounds will be spent by organisers to make changes to the
:06:57. > :06:59.chorus by the executive will also invest significantly, some of which
:07:00. > :07:08.will be used to improve the structure. A huge undertaking. We
:07:09. > :07:14.will have to be sure that we can face that with minimum disruption
:07:15. > :07:19.here. There is also the television needs with huge companies from all
:07:20. > :07:27.over the world broadcasting the event. The terrain is quite rugged
:07:28. > :07:32.and we have to be able to move spectators around safely. A lot to
:07:33. > :07:39.do. As far as I'm concerned, this is an art of the world announcement.
:07:40. > :07:46.The Open being held here, it will be an out of this world experience for
:07:47. > :07:49.the golfing fanatics on this island. We have been able to bring to these
:07:50. > :07:59.shores what is widely seen as one of the most prestigious events.
:08:00. > :08:02.When the Irish Open was here two years ago, 27,000 people attended
:08:03. > :08:05.It was a sell-out and seen as a real tourism boost.
:08:06. > :08:08.Mark Simpson has been weighing up the economic benefits
:08:09. > :08:19.These are exciting times for Portrush. It has always been a town
:08:20. > :08:23.associated with entertainment. Now comes one of the world 's most
:08:24. > :08:27.famous sporting events. Like everything, it comes at a price.
:08:28. > :08:32.Stormont ministers won't say exactly how much they are paying to bring
:08:33. > :08:37.the Open here. I will say this, in terms of the money we are putting
:08:38. > :08:40.in, the millions will come back tenfold to us and I don't think
:08:41. > :08:47.anybody could underestimate this happening here today. Is it millions
:08:48. > :08:51.or tens of millions? I have made it clear that I will not speculate. I
:08:52. > :08:56.have said that the millions we will put in, we will get back in tens of
:08:57. > :09:04.millions. Give us up all part of Mac figure is believed to be in the
:09:05. > :09:08.region of ?7 million. Economic return is suggested at ?70 million
:09:09. > :09:13.but will any of the money come to Portrush itself? Absolutely, they
:09:14. > :09:18.will not be a bed breakfast or hotel to be God during that week and
:09:19. > :09:25.for every good weekend leading up to it. That is what traders were told
:09:26. > :09:28.before the Open two years ago and some were left disappointed as many
:09:29. > :09:33.spectators watched the golf but did not come into the town centre. A lot
:09:34. > :09:39.of businesses here at up for a lot of people coming but it never
:09:40. > :09:40.happened. Disappointing, I think. Lessons have been learned and the
:09:41. > :09:45.happened. Disappointing, I think. news that the Open is now coming to
:09:46. > :09:49.town is going down well. It is good for Portrush in general. We all work
:09:50. > :09:55.together as a team to show how lovely it is so if it benefits one
:09:56. > :10:00.area, it will benefit us all. It is something for everyone to do, they
:10:01. > :10:05.can walk the beaches, see us, visit restaurants. There is the odd
:10:06. > :10:09.grumble but overall the mood is very positive. People are looking forward
:10:10. > :10:17.to showing of this spectacular part of the world. Sun, sea and sand. See
:10:18. > :10:21.and sound are guaranteed anywhere! It may be for another five years but
:10:22. > :10:31.it seems the Open on the north coast will be worth waiting for. Whatever
:10:32. > :10:36.the weather! The First Minister joked today,
:10:37. > :10:39.saying he has already booked weather like this for the Open when it
:10:40. > :10:43.arrives in Portrush. I will be back here later in the programme.
:10:44. > :10:46.the football captain who has defied conventional medicine to get back
:10:47. > :10:57.The way in which people get health treatment
:10:58. > :11:01.treatment outside normal hours in the Southern Health Trust is heavily
:11:02. > :11:09.copy of that report. It's designed to improve services and is a
:11:10. > :11:19.snapshot of how they are operated and what needs to be done. It will
:11:20. > :11:27.It will make worrying reading for both the Trust and the Department
:11:28. > :11:34.Many of us will have the experience of leading a doctor out of hours,
:11:35. > :11:38.after the surgery has closed, usually about 6:30. In the Southern
:11:39. > :11:44.Health Trust, the service is located at five centres - Dungannon, Ahmad,
:11:45. > :11:50.Craigavon, Newry and Kilkeel. Anyone needing a doctor will be referred to
:11:51. > :11:55.them. The report contains pointed criticism. To share their views,
:11:56. > :12:00.some 30 to start went to three workshops and by the trust. The
:12:01. > :12:04.report details criticism of the workload, working environment,
:12:05. > :12:08.resources, the way people work and management. And it comes to the
:12:09. > :12:15.specifics, one staff member said, covering shifts at Craigavon felt
:12:16. > :12:20.like walking into hell. Taking away one GP's shipped from the out of
:12:21. > :12:23.hours Rota was described as a catastrophe. Staff to not believe
:12:24. > :12:29.the service can run safely with just two GPs at night. The Royal College
:12:30. > :12:35.of GPs says it is worrying. We are not yet at the precipice, we are not
:12:36. > :12:42.far off. GP services, community services, our district nurses and
:12:43. > :12:44.health visitors, these are the cornerstone of the NHS. Without
:12:45. > :12:50.investment in these, the whole thing will collapse. A large number of
:12:51. > :12:53.staff apparently referred to a bullying and blame culture and also
:12:54. > :12:58.talked of experiencing threats and harassment. But it comes to those
:12:59. > :13:02.needing treatment, staff said the system leaves vulnerable though
:13:03. > :13:06.people wishing for unacceptable lengths of time. One grandmother
:13:07. > :13:12.told us about taking her grandson to the out of hours service. If I had
:13:13. > :13:18.taken him to AMD, I would have been waiting five or six hours. The whole
:13:19. > :13:23.system seems to be a continuity of care. Today the trust said action
:13:24. > :13:27.has already been taken including what it described as ongoing
:13:28. > :13:32.recruitment for GPs, flexible working, enhanced pay for certain
:13:33. > :13:35.shifts, and a phased introduction of skilled nurses. In an earlier
:13:36. > :13:41.statement, the trust said, only a small minority of its 240 out of
:13:42. > :13:46.hours staff attended the workshops. It says it remains fully committed
:13:47. > :13:49.to providing the GP out of hours service, adding that it will
:13:50. > :13:55.continue to work with staff to improve it despite the challenges
:13:56. > :13:57.involved. After the workshops, some 38 individual recommendations
:13:58. > :14:01.emerged so the trust clearly will have plenty of suggestions as to
:14:02. > :14:24.just how it might address some of those challenges.
:14:25. > :14:27.An attempt to have Sinn Fein's Gerry Kelly excluded from the Assembly
:14:28. > :14:30.for five days has failed after it was thwarted by the SDLP.
:14:31. > :14:32.The sanction had been proposed by the Stormont Standards
:14:33. > :14:35.and Privileges Committee after Mr Kelly was found to have broken
:14:36. > :14:40.However SDLP MLAs signed a petition of concern requiring any
:14:41. > :14:45.exclusion to be subjected to a cross community vote.
:14:46. > :14:52.This is the moment Gerry Kelly earned himself a five-day suspension
:14:53. > :14:55.from Stormont will stop the sanction was proposed by the assembly's
:14:56. > :15:02.Standards and Privileges Committee but today the midfield with Sinn
:15:03. > :15:09.Fein blocking the motion and received support from the SDLP.
:15:10. > :15:15.Given the circumstances when Gerry Kelly made his intervention, in
:15:16. > :15:25.order to try and defuse the situation, does that not mean that
:15:26. > :15:30.technical breach of the law which took place should in fact be looked
:15:31. > :15:40.at in a different light? No, said unionists, who turned their anger on
:15:41. > :15:46.the SDLP. Acting spineless today, in supporting this petition of concern.
:15:47. > :15:49.This is a day that will go down in infamy because this is a day when it
:15:50. > :15:53.is made clear to this assembly that you can breach the law and there is
:15:54. > :15:57.no consequence for any number in this house. The speaker had to
:15:58. > :16:03.intervene several times to tell members to mind the language. I have
:16:04. > :16:12.listened to your heckling all day and I wish you would shut up! Order!
:16:13. > :16:19.Order! I would like to remind members, be careful of the language
:16:20. > :16:22.you use in the chamber. The boat on whether to suspend Gerry Kelly or

:16:26. > :16:25.conclusion, to the great annoyance of

:16:33. > :16:36.for a new weapons system from the Ministry of Defence.

:16:49. > :16:59.We know that they like to see it being deployed by British forces so
:17:00. > :17:03.we think that will be good for the future which will help secure jobs
:17:04. > :17:04.in this part of the country for many years to come.

:17:38. > :17:40.America - among them our own local stars and arguably the best leftie
:17:41. > :17:50.The world 's best players are genuinely excited to be playing
:17:51. > :17:57.again in Northern Ireland, none more so than the reigning Open champion,
:17:58. > :18:02.Phil Mickelson. It is exciting to see how players like Darren Clarke
:18:03. > :18:06.and Rory McIlroy are so excited to have it in Ireland. I have played
:18:07. > :18:12.Royal Portrush, I think it is a wonderful course. Royal Portrush is
:18:13. > :18:18.one of the best in all the world and to have an Open Championship go
:18:19. > :18:22.there is very exciting. He finished second to Darren Clarke when he
:18:23. > :18:30.opened the Open in 2011. Darren Clarke is thrilled at the day's
:18:31. > :18:33.confirmation. It is not just people from the UK coming over, it is
:18:34. > :18:38.global, people from all over the world. People don't realise how much
:18:39. > :18:41.money will be generated to the Hall of Northern Ireland by it. We should
:18:42. > :18:47.all be very proud, we have one of the biggest sporting event in the
:18:48. > :18:52.world coming to our little country. It is going to be an unbelievable
:18:53. > :18:57.week. Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell were unable to challenge
:18:58. > :19:02.here at the U.S. Open on the final day but both told me they want to
:19:03. > :19:07.content when the Open comes home. In 2019, I will be turning 40 that
:19:08. > :19:13.year. That is a sobering thought! I am hoping to be still contending,
:19:14. > :19:20.still in the top 50 in the world. Still hoping to be playing
:19:21. > :19:26.championship golf. Fingers crossed, it will be incredible. I never
:19:27. > :19:30.thought I would be able to play and Open championships at home so it is
:19:31. > :19:37.not too far away, five years time, I am really looking forward to it. I
:19:38. > :19:41.have played Portrush well in the past and hopefully I can do the same
:19:42. > :19:47.again. It is not just the players who are excited. One caddy here at
:19:48. > :19:52.one reason to celebrate, he is from Portrush. The course is one of the
:19:53. > :19:55.top five in the world in my estimation. A lot of the American
:19:56. > :20:00.players have never had the chance to come to Ireland and it gives them
:20:01. > :20:05.the chance to come here now and play one of the best golf courses in the
:20:06. > :20:08.world. Many of the caddies and golfer is now head to Cork for the
:20:09. > :20:19.Irish Open and we will have more reaction to this story in this week.
:20:20. > :20:23.The prestigious amateur championship is taking place, you can see the
:20:24. > :20:28.tented village behind me. Some of the best amateur players in the
:20:29. > :20:32.world are taking part. It has been a hugely proud day for the club and
:20:33. > :20:38.the captain joins me now. When you hear the likes of those big
:20:39. > :20:41.players, the top players all over the globe, speaking so highly about
:20:42. > :20:46.Portrush, how much pride does it give the members? Huge pride. We
:20:47. > :20:53.have had this for a long time, we had known about this. We adore this
:20:54. > :20:56.place and we just wanted to bring the rest of the world in to show
:20:57. > :21:01.them and these players that you mention, they have been a huge help
:21:02. > :21:05.to us along the way, highlighting it and it is their clamour that has
:21:06. > :21:09.helped us bring today about. What happens now from the club
:21:10. > :21:13.prospective? We have to get together in the summer with the course
:21:14. > :21:20.architect and there are some changes planned. Two new holes will be built
:21:21. > :21:24.and there are exciting new possibilities for a new course. We
:21:25. > :21:29.mentioned the amateur championship taking place, some of the best are
:21:30. > :21:33.dreaming of playing in the Open for real in a few years? Yes, they are
:21:34. > :21:37.our future and it is amazing to have this on a day like this, and
:21:38. > :21:40.historic day with this information being released, you could not write
:21:41. > :21:43.it! On Friday?s BBC Newsline we brought
:21:44. > :21:46.you the remarkable story of Monaghan Gaelic football captain
:21:47. > :21:49.Conor McManus. A nasty injury seemed to have ruled
:21:50. > :21:53.him out of the game for this summer but on Sunday he confounded
:21:54. > :22:08.conventional medicine to captain his As he led his county on a
:22:09. > :22:13.walkabout, it concluded a journey which had seen him scour the
:22:14. > :22:19.country, a faith healer, herbalist, oxygen tent and a bicycle dash all
:22:20. > :22:25.were accessed and by way of acknowledgement for his league of
:22:26. > :22:32.helpers came a half-dozen contrary points. All the more remarkable that
:22:33. > :22:35.meant a ligament tear meant he had not kicked a ball for six weeks. The
:22:36. > :22:43.result is, they have gone more than a dozen games undefeated at home. No
:22:44. > :22:49.modern has managed to do this for more than two dozen years. As this
:22:50. > :22:58.cake coated wide, Tyrone tumbled out of Ulster, beaten by Monaghan for
:22:59. > :23:04.the first time since 1988. Immediately, the focus was on the
:23:05. > :23:07.next challenge. You take each game on its own merits and we are not
:23:08. > :23:12.looking any on its own merits and we are not
