destination. That | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
A police investigation into the awarding of contracts for police | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
vehicles is looking at whether there was a conspiracy to ensure that | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
multi-million-pound contracts were awarded | :00:15. | :00:15. | |
to one of Northern Ireland's largest car dealerships. | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
It's understood seven men, including the former | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
Assistant Chief Constable Duncan McCausland and a serving officer | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
have been questioned over bribery allegations. | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
who's now Chief Constable of West Yorkshire | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
was suspended as a result of the investigation. | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
Our home affairs correspondent Vincent Kearney | :00:34. | :00:34. | |
Donnelly Brothers is one of Northern Ireland's | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
One of its owners, Terence Donnelly, was one of those questioned | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
by detectives investigating the awarding of PSNI vehicle contracts. | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
He was one of seven men the PSNI said were arrested on suspicion | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
of a range of offences including bribery, | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
and procuring misconduct in public office. | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
His company has been a long-standing supplier | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
of vehicles to the police and was recently awarded | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
a multi-million pound contract for the maintenance of | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
In a statement to the BBC, Mr Donnelly said he strenuously | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
denied any wrongdoing on his part in relation to the PSNI | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
investigation into the awarding of PSNI vehicle contracts. | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
The statement added that he has co-operated fully with | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
the investigation and expects to be completely exonerated. | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
Others arrested include a serving officer and a member | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
Files on both men have been sent to the Public Prosecution Service. | :01:37. | :01:46. | |
In line with PSNI policy they have been suspended from their jobs | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
The BBC understands police believe efforts were being made to ensure | :01:50. | :02:04. | |
another contract to provide armour is on 50 police cars was awarded to | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
Donnelly's and a company based in London. | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
Duncan McCausland, former Chief Constable, has also been questioned. | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
Since retiring he has worked as a security visor to Donnellys. | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
He was released from police custody last night pending a file being sent | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
I have been clear that I strenuously deny any | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
Obviously, I can't talk about the investigation | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
That is what I am going to go out of my way to ensure, | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
This afternoon, the Chief Constable of | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
West Yorkshire Police Force was suspended | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
Mark Gilmour was formerly a PSNI officer. | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
He is not part of the criminal investigation. | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
It is understood that it has been claimed that while serving here, | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
he may have received a heavily discounted or free car | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
This morning I suspended Mark Gilmour. | :02:58. | :03:06. | |
The reason for the suspension is as a result of | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
information from the PSNI arising from an investigation announced | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
I would like to stress that the suspension | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
of a Chief Constable is a necessity in the public interest until | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
Seven men arrested as part of this investigation have now been | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
released pending files being sent to the Public Prosecution Service. | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
The BBC understands that due to the complexity of | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
the investigation it could be months before the review of the files is | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
completed and decisions made about whether or not to bring charges. | :03:43. | :03:56. | |
A plane bound for Belfast city airport has been diverted in midair | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
to Manchester. The flight was en route from Southampton. The flight | :04:05. | :04:15. | |
was diverted because of a fault. It landed safely. The tour of the | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
North Orange parade took place in north Belfast without event. There | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
were restrictions on the event. There was no trouble. | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
The Health Minister says a proposal to reinstate prescription charges | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
A fee with a maximum payment of ?25 a year per person is proposed. | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
Our health correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly reports. | :04:34. | :04:42. | |
Since being diagnosed with worrying cancer in 2009, Una has been on a | :04:43. | :04:51. | |
crusade to raise awareness of the condition but she has also been | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
campaigning for access to specialist cancer drugs. Extremely expensive | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
they are available to cancer patients in England and Scotland but | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
not in Northern Ireland. If the Cancer Drugs Fund was available here | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
I would get the drug which is available to women in England. If I | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
lived in England I would get it and it would extend my life, could | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
extend my life, ten months to three years. Last eight on Twitter, that | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
battle stepped up a gear when Una and the Health Minister engaged in a | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
heated debate about how the fund could be paid for. Una suggested | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
money was there. Edwin Poots proposed reinstating prescription | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
charges could help pay the bill. The SDLP argue it is not necessary. | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
Instead, they are insisting the money is already available via a | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
national scheme for pharmaceutical companies pay into a fund designed | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
for the researchers develop and a specialist drugs. There is money | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
coming back from pharmaceuticals, 9 million over the last three years | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
and a protected 12 million over the next three years. He has the money | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
to get on with the job. Where you suggesting the money has gone? I do | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
not know and the Minister has questions to answer. I hope it has | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
not gone into the big black hole. The deal is that the money should be | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
used for innovative drugs. In a statement Edwin Poots said the PPR | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
scheme is designed to constrain the cost of medicines across the UK and | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
was never intended to fund specialist drugs. | :06:28. | :06:38. | |
A school that's been told to pay ?10,000 to | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
a pupil who was bullied, says it is reviewing its pastoral care policy. | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
Ryan Collins, who's now 19, sued Abbey Grammar school in Newry | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
after he suffered abuse from his second year in the school. | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
He finally left in 2009 after what was described as an horrific | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
incident and suffered adult psychiatric damage as a result. | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
The case could have repercussions for other schools. | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
It is an interesting decision and I think it will have ramifications for | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
schools. It is something of a president so it has to be taken very | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
seriously. The highlight of this week's | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
summer festival of racing at Down Among the trainers hoping to win | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
the big race is a former vet who has entered Abby Cadabby | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
from his County Tyrone stable. Andy Oliver has been training horses | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
for a decade now and is confident that they are ready | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
for the challenge. Although the stakes are high, | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
with the prize money set at 100,000 They are already set. They have won | :07:24. | :07:41. | |
all ready this year. Their training regime is just maintenance. We just | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
maintain fitness. Once you get there my work is done. It is still really | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
saddling up, speaking to the jockeys, and seeing how the real | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
estate goes. After that, win, lose or draw, you have to take what | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
happens. Stephanie Meadow has continued to | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
impress on her professional golf debut | :08:03. | :08:03. | |
at the US Women's Open. But the 22-year-old from Jordanstown | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
is now three over par after two rounds at Pinehurst, | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
which means she's dropped from 14th to 21st place | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
on the leaderboard out of the field of 155, | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
heading into the weekend. Time for a look at the weather. Here | :08:13. | :08:26. | |
is Barra Best. It has been a fine and dry end to | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
the day and it will stay dry overnight into the longest day of | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
the year. If you are out and about for a solstice event tonight, it is | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
going to stay fine and dry. Elsewhere, we have clear skies | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
developing tonight. It could turn Chile with temperatures into single | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
figures. Most towns and cities will be around ten or 11 degrees. | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
Saturday will be much like today was dry and bright weather around. A | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
fair amount of cloud at times but the cloud breaking up and allowing | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
for sunshine to come and go. Towards the North closed with the northerly | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
breeze as it will feel a little bit fresher. -- north coast. Elsewhere, | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
the high pressure remains in control. Lots of fine, settled | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
weather and good sunshine across many areas of Britain. Cloudier and | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
across Ireland but even here, bright with temperatures of 19 or 20. | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
Towards the south-east of England, into the mid-20s. Tomorrow, you will | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
not need the umbrella. Temperatures up to about 20 degrees inland where | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
we have the best of the sunshine. Towards the north coast, it may be | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
14 or 15 degrees with the onshore breeze. Towards Sunday, more of the | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
same to come, plenty of good outdoor weather, dry weather, 18 or 19 | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
degrees. Staying dry into Monday. It will not be until Tuesday that | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
things begin to breakdown. From everyone here on the BBC | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
Newsline team, have a very good night. | :09:59. | :10:07. | |
But sometimes, something can happen that leaves you no choice | :10:08. | :10:20. | |
to let the world see your secret self. | :10:21. | :10:24. |
