:00:00. > :00:07.Good evening. The Queen has held private meetings
:00:08. > :00:12.with the First and Deputy First Ministers here during the first
:00:13. > :00:26.Deputy First Ministers here during the first engagement
:00:27. > :00:33.The first stop for the royal couple was a familiar one, Hillsborough
:00:34. > :00:41.Castle, the official residence -- official residence of the Queen
:00:42. > :00:45.widget comes to Northern Ireland. The Secretary of State, Theresa
:00:46. > :00:52.Villiers, First Minister, Peter Robinson, and Deputy First
:00:53. > :01:04.Minister, Martin McGuinness all had a private audience. I always sees
:01:05. > :01:08.these as an opportunity to reach out, to stretch out the hand of
:01:09. > :01:13.friendship to the Unionist community. From the contributions
:01:14. > :01:20.made by Queen Elizabeth, it is quite clear to me, meeting me in Dublin,
:01:21. > :01:25.meeting the Belfast two years ago, going to Winter Palace, that she is
:01:26. > :01:35.someone who absolutely and passionately support the peace
:01:36. > :01:41.process. There are significant this -- differences between this visit
:01:42. > :01:44.and those in the past. The fact that she is going to City Hall, where all
:01:45. > :01:48.other parties will be represented, is something that will be entirely
:01:49. > :01:54.new. The fact her itinerary can be given night beforehand, so people
:01:55. > :01:59.can be close to those events is another real change. Of course, the
:02:00. > :02:06.sun is shining, that it's a change, as well! While the Queen met the
:02:07. > :02:10.politicians, Prince Philip had an engagement of his own. Meeting some
:02:11. > :02:14.of the 75 people here who were receiving them all joke of Edinburgh
:02:15. > :02:20.award. The royal couple has retired for the evening. They have a busy
:02:21. > :02:27.couple of days ahead of them. Tomorrow they are packing in five
:02:28. > :02:31.different engagements. Most are based in Belfast, but they will be
:02:32. > :02:37.back here again tomorrow afternoon for a garden party.
:02:38. > :02:40.The former US diplomat Richard Haass is urging politicians to show
:02:41. > :02:42.leadership in dealing with outstanding peace process issues. He
:02:43. > :02:44.made the call during his acceptance speech after being awarded the
:02:45. > :02:47.Tipperary Peace Award. Last year he chaired a talks process which
:02:48. > :02:52.ultimately failed to deliver consensus on outstanding disputes on
:02:53. > :03:03.flags, parading and how to deal with the past.
:03:04. > :03:10.I don't think there is any real alternative to the sorts of
:03:11. > :03:14.approaches we came up with. I'm not saying everything has to be exactly
:03:15. > :03:18.the way that was negotiated by the end of December, but something close
:03:19. > :03:21.to that, to deal with parading, flags, help -- emblems, something
:03:22. > :03:27.very close to that will be required. In the shake-up within the Driver
:03:28. > :03:29.and Vehicle Agency, motor tax offices are to close
:03:30. > :03:32.in July, several months earlier The transfer of services to Wales
:03:33. > :03:35.means motorists will tax their car online, at the Post Office
:03:36. > :04:01.or by phone - a move that has led to The motor tax office is part of the
:04:02. > :04:07.furniture of modern life. But all this will soon be gone. Very soon.
:04:08. > :04:11.On the close of business on Thursday, 17 to July, all the motor
:04:12. > :04:16.tax offices in Northern Ireland will be closed. This is because the DVLA
:04:17. > :04:19.believes this work should be decentralised in Swansea and in
:04:20. > :04:27.future they will rely on people either doing it for themselves
:04:28. > :04:29.online, are going to one of 175 licensing post offices. Our staff
:04:30. > :04:35.will no longer be able to help you, I'm afraid. The two main options are
:04:36. > :04:42.go to the post office and do it online? That's right, exactly. So,
:04:43. > :04:51.what motorists make of the changes? I don't like it at all. What happens
:04:52. > :04:58.if you are not online? I think it is terrible. It is so handy for local
:04:59. > :05:04.people. I don't really like doing things online. I like being able to
:05:05. > :05:07.come down here and do it face-to-face. The post office have
:05:08. > :05:16.enough to do. It is much easier here. This office in Belfast is
:05:17. > :05:20.always busy. In fact, some days more than 700 people come through here.
:05:21. > :05:27.Overall the Northern Ireland, more than 100,000 people every month tax
:05:28. > :05:32.their vehicles. For some people, going online or going to a post
:05:33. > :05:32.office will be much easier, but, for others, it
:05:33. > :05:39.Following the weekend death of Gerry Conlon, another member of the
:05:40. > :05:41.of the Guilford Four has spoken emotionally of the injustice
:05:42. > :05:45.and the victims of the IRA bombings in 1974. Gerry Conlon died at the
:05:46. > :05:50.He and three others spent 15 years in
:05:51. > :06:03.prison after being wrongly convicted of the attacks in Guilford.
:06:04. > :06:14.Earlier on, I spoke to Paul Hill, another member of Guildford Four. I
:06:15. > :06:22.was always pleased that Gerry was involved, as it motivated him. I'm
:06:23. > :06:31.sure, like myself, he had a lot of anger suppressed. I express two days
:06:32. > :06:37.ago the obscenity of people trying to score political points over Gerry
:06:38. > :06:41.Conlon's often. People are trying to do that. I have heard it
:06:42. > :06:47.continuously said that if the IRA had not carried out these offences
:06:48. > :06:52.that we have not ended up in prison. How absurd is that? That is verbal
:06:53. > :06:58.gymnastics and political point scoring. What happened to us was a
:06:59. > :07:05.great miscarriage of justice than for the people who died, yes, it
:07:06. > :07:08.was, in the legal context. The victims of those horrendous
:07:09. > :07:11.bombings, and they were horrendous, there was no justification
:07:12. > :07:18.whatsoever for the death of those seven people, but no justification
:07:19. > :07:20.to arrest innocent people. That is what should be remembered when Gerry
:07:21. > :07:24.Conlon goes into the ground. Nine of the 12 yachts taking part
:07:25. > :07:28.in the Clipper Round the World race The one named
:07:29. > :07:31.after the city was first to finish. Thousands of people lined
:07:32. > :07:36.the banks of the Foyle from early The last
:07:37. > :07:51.of the yachts crossing the Atlantic I watched the last race from the
:07:52. > :07:55.office. I decided, the next time it is on I'm going to participate. I
:07:56. > :07:59.broke an arm in training and had to delay the legs I was doing, but it
:08:00. > :08:03.has been worth everything that has gone into it.
:08:04. > :08:05.Tomorrow on BBC News Northern Ireland, an
:08:06. > :08:07.investigation into the stillborn and infant babies buried in unmarked
:08:08. > :08:12.One mother spent years not knowing where her child was buried.
:08:13. > :08:17.She talks to our reporter Kevin Sharkey on Good Morning Ulster
:08:18. > :08:34.We have had a long, dry spell of weather. There are some changes
:08:35. > :08:42.afoot with some rain like he later in the week. Damp weather will
:08:43. > :08:45.develop more widely on Wednesday and Thursday could have a few sharp
:08:46. > :08:50.bursts of rain before it moves away again. It is looking driver most of
:08:51. > :08:54.us for the rest of the night. Temperatures will hold up well into
:08:55. > :08:59.double figures. It'll start of right tomorrow before a cloud moves down
:09:00. > :09:04.from the North, which will bring a few showers. To begin with tomorrow
:09:05. > :09:08.morning, many places will be dry, early sunshine for the South. Cloud
:09:09. > :09:16.will increase to bring a few light showers. This cloud will extend
:09:17. > :09:24.southwards over England and Wales, and into the Republic, too. There
:09:25. > :09:28.will be the risk of sharp showers in the south-east of England and the
:09:29. > :09:33.Wimbledon area. Cabbages will continue to be in the 20s in the
:09:34. > :09:35.south of England and Ireland. The Northern Ireland we can expect a

:09:37. > :09:41.Northern Ireland we can expect to be a little bit down on today, we are
:09:42. > :09:47.maybe looking at it teen or 19 degrees. Some showers were some
:09:48. > :09:52.places during the day, but sunny spells, too. For weapons they, tap
:09:53. > :09:56.weather will move in from the Atlantic and the wind will turn
