:01:30. > :01:35.Unusually, details of their itinerary have been published in
:01:36. > :01:39.advance. The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh
:01:40. > :01:44.literally just arrived here at the castle within the last few moments.
:01:45. > :01:51.They came here by car from Belfast city airport. There are just two

:02:04. > :02:07.is. Also, the Secretary of State. Then, the joke of Edinburgh is going
:02:08. > :02:13.to hold an engagement, meeting 75 people who are due to get burgled
:02:14. > :02:17.award in the of Edinburgh awards. Those are the only two engagements
:02:18. > :02:23.that the royal couple are hosting this evening. That is because they
:02:24. > :02:28.have a busy few days ahead. There has been an unprecedented release of
:02:29. > :02:35.information about their -- about their itinerary. That's right. This
:02:36. > :02:39.is the Queen's 21st visit to Northern Ireland. Normally details
:02:40. > :02:42.are not released because of security concerns, but this time we have been
:02:43. > :02:47.given a full schedule of their itinerary. Peter Robinson says that
:02:48. > :02:53.this reflection of the changing times. Tomorrow, he and Deputy First

:03:24. > :03:29.City Hall, then back here to the Castle tomorrow evening for a garden
:03:30. > :03:33.party. So, I really packed day ahead for them tomorrow. I will have full
:03:34. > :03:38.details on all of their visit later on this evening on our news at 10:25
:03:39. > :03:44.p.m.. In the shake-up within the Driver
:03:45. > :03:46.and Vehicle Agency, all motor tax offices here are to
:03:47. > :03:49.close next month. The transfer of services to Wales
:03:50. > :03:53.means motorists will have to tax It means the loss of
:03:54. > :04:15.about 300 local jobs. The motor tax office is part of the
:04:16. > :04:20.furniture of modern life. But all this will soon be gone. Very soon.
:04:21. > :04:24.From the close of business on Thursday, 17th of July, all motor
:04:25. > :04:28.tax offices in Northern Ireland will be closed. This is because the DVLA
:04:29. > :04:32.in Swansea have decided that this in Swansea have decided that this
:04:33. > :04:38.work will be centralised in Swansea, and they will rely on people doing
:04:39. > :04:42.at themselves online, or going to 175 licensing post offices. Our
:04:43. > :04:44.staff will no longer be able to help you, I'm afraid.
:04:45. > :04:52.staff will no longer be able to help to go to the post office or do it
:04:53. > :04:55.online? That sector. Either do it online or at the post office. What
:04:56. > :05:00.the motorists make of the changes? I online or at the post office. What
:05:01. > :05:06.don't like it. What happens if you are not online? I think it is
:05:07. > :05:12.terrible. It is so handy for local people to come here and taxpayer
:05:13. > :05:15.cars. I don't like doing things online. I am
:05:16. > :05:17.cars. I don't like doing things old-fashioned byway. I like to be
:05:18. > :05:25.able to come down and do it face-to-face. It is much easier to
:05:26. > :05:30.do it here. This office in Belfast is always busy. In fact, some days
:05:31. > :05:33.more than 700 people come through here. Over all in Northern Ireland,
:05:34. > :05:41.more than 700 people come through more than 100,000 people every month
:05:42. > :05:45.tax their vehicles. For some people, going online going to a post office

:06:35. > :06:41.An innocent and wronged man, striding to freedom after years in
:06:42. > :06:46.jail. Gerry Conlon was a victim of an infamous miscarriage of justice.
:06:47. > :06:50.I have been imprisoned for 15 years for something I didn't do, for
:06:51. > :06:59.something I didn't know anything about. Paul Hill, Gerry Armstrong,
:07:00. > :07:06.Carole Richardson and Paddy Armstrong became known as the
:07:07. > :07:09.Guildford four. They were jailed for life. They always insisted that the
:07:10. > :07:14.police have blamed them. Seamus Mallon went to visit Gerry Conlon in
:07:15. > :07:21.prison. This young fellow was sitting there hunched up, his hands
:07:22. > :07:27.on his head crying. Trying to tell me, or to make some reason I'd have
:07:28. > :07:33.the situation he was in. Fairly dysfunctional. Not completely lucid
:07:34. > :07:42.because of the amount of strain he was under. It was a memory that will
:07:43. > :07:47.last with me. He and others campaigned for them to be released
:07:48. > :07:52.and the convictions were overturned in 1989. That was too late for the
:07:53. > :07:55.father of Gerry Conlon, Giuseppe. He was wrongly convicted after
:07:56. > :07:59.travelling to England to help his son. He died in prison. That helped
:08:00. > :08:12.motivate Gerry Conlon to campaign on the behalf of others who he believed
:08:13. > :08:17.had suffered under suppose justice. For Gerry Conlon, his family were
:08:18. > :08:20.still suffering from this, but we for someone who defeated the
:08:21. > :08:26.injustice, got himself fight, despite all of his troubles. He made
:08:27. > :08:30.a big contributing to the cause of justice in this country. The family
:08:31. > :08:32.of Gerry Conlon said they believe he changed the course of history. His
:08:33. > :08:37.funeral will be held on Saturday. Earlier, I spoke to one of the other
:08:38. > :08:40.members of the Guildford Four. I asked Paul Hill,
:08:41. > :08:42.who now lives in the United States, what his reaction was when he heard
:08:43. > :08:54.that Gerry Conlon had died. I remember talking to him about what
:08:55. > :08:58.was happening in regards to the Patriot act here which we equate to
:08:59. > :09:03.the prevention of terrorism act. You would have thought that people would
:09:04. > :09:09.have learned something from that. Apparently, they didn't. We not have
:09:10. > :09:14.people languishing in one town obey with no legal protection whatsoever.
:09:15. > :09:19.That is absurd. He was very much to the fore for campaigning for people
:09:20. > :09:24.that he saw as having suffered an injustice. Will that campaign
:09:25. > :09:32.continue and will you be involved? Absolutely. Paddy Hill will
:09:33. > :09:39.continue. Gerry Conlon will be a big loss. There will be other people who
:09:40. > :09:43.will step into his shoes, I am sure. But because he was so much involved,
:09:44. > :09:50.does it take out an off a lot of energy? It does take out a lot of
:09:51. > :09:58.energy, but, you know, I was always pleased that he was involved as it
:09:59. > :10:01.motivated him. It drove him. There was a lot of suppressed anger, I am
:10:02. > :10:10.sure, and that is a way of releasing it. I have a lot of anger over what
:10:11. > :10:15.happened to me. Two days ago I expressed the obscenity of people
:10:16. > :10:19.who tried to score political points over the Coffin of Gerry Conlon, and
:10:20. > :10:25.people are trying to do that. I have heard it said that the IRA, if they
:10:26. > :10:32.hadn't carried out these offences, we would not have gone to prison.
:10:33. > :10:46.How absurd is that? That is verbal gymnastics. That is political point
:10:47. > :10:49.scoring. The Vic rooms of those horrendous bombings, and they were
:10:50. > :10:57.horrendous bombings, no justification whatsoever for their
:10:58. > :11:01.death, but no justification to arrest innocent people, and that is
:11:02. > :11:11.what GB remember when Gerry Conlon goes into the ground.

:13:13. > :13:17.trials were carried out on children and whether there were forced

:14:13. > :14:17.church or state to separate a mother and her infant. He can't create a
:14:18. > :14:19.greater crime against humanity than that. Ireland at the time was

:14:25. > :14:27.the and the Catholic Church in particular, which declined to be
:14:28. > :14:32.interviewed, dominated so many aspects of life. Sex outside
:14:33. > :14:37.marriage was more than just the same. It was a domination in which
:14:38. > :14:41.the state and the people at the time willingly colluded and the Vic aims
:14:42. > :14:48.were not just women and young girls who were locked up because they got

:16:25. > :16:32.Live now to our North-West reporter Keiron Tourish.
:16:33. > :16:39.It has been a great day here today. Many people came out to the special
:16:40. > :16:46.homecoming. There were more than a few tears shed along the way. Boats
:16:47. > :16:55.of all shapes and sizes came out as the yacht sailed up Loch Foyle. The
:16:56. > :16:58.crew were in buoyant mood. Everyone from schoolchildren to the staff
:16:59. > :17:09.lined the shoreline. The biggest cheer was at the Foyle Marina as the
:17:10. > :17:15.local crew came into view. I think this time they have pushed it up
:17:16. > :17:21.substantially. It is incredible! We had boats meet us at six o'clock
:17:22. > :17:27.this morning! The support has been growing and growing. We pulled in
:17:28. > :17:36.with about 30 boats following us! 12 votes are taking part in the Clipper
:17:37. > :17:40.Round the World race. 40 nations are represented. They have been to
:17:41. > :17:43.Brazil, South Africa, Australia and South America. Earlier this month
:17:44. > :17:50.the local crew set off from New York for the journey home to Londonderry.
:17:51. > :17:57.They ended up winning this leg of the race after a very close finish.
:17:58. > :18:04.I broken arm and training and had to delay the leg. It has been worth
:18:05. > :18:08.every minute, everything that has gone into it. It has been fabulous.
:18:09. > :18:15.The race has not been without high drama. One crew member fell
:18:16. > :18:23.overboard and was in the water for 90 minutes. This morning there was
:18:24. > :18:27.an emotional reunion. I am not sure if you are allowed to miss your
:18:28. > :18:34.parents at my age, but it happens! Tony, what is your reaction on
:18:35. > :18:38.seeing your son. It is amazing. So happy he is home safe and sound. It
:18:39. > :18:44.is a business group, have fabulous city and I just can't thank Sean and
:18:45. > :18:50.everybody on the boat, and all the people in Derry who thank -- who
:18:51. > :18:55.sent us all their messages. It is so emotional to be here. We have been
:18:56. > :19:06.through a lot since September when we last saw him. It is wonderful he
:19:07. > :19:12.is home. A very relieved family! What does this race brings to a
:19:13. > :19:17.city? I think the city has done a lot to bring it to themselves, in
:19:18. > :19:21.organising this fantastic events. The city has put the Spotlight on
:19:22. > :19:28.themselves. It is not just what is happening here, how the city has
:19:29. > :19:34.used the race to the mode bring in investment. The city has been very
:19:35. > :19:41.act of in how it can improve things in Londonderry. Is it worth all the
:19:42. > :19:46.money that the costs? It cost the city ?1.2 million, for the two
:19:47. > :19:53.races, this one and the next one. Of course it is worth the money. We are
:19:54. > :19:59.seeing a financial return similar to what we saw last time, a ?1.6
:20:00. > :20:03.million return. It should be even bigger and better this time. The
:20:04. > :20:09.businesses will see a fantastic return on the investment. Thank you
:20:10. > :20:15.both for joining us. There is a full week of a maritime festival here,
:20:16. > :20:16.with lots for everything -- for everybody to do, let's hope we get
:20:17. > :20:19.the weather! After a weekend of Open golf,
:20:20. > :20:22.we're not talking about the success of Rory McIlroy or Graeme McDowell,
:20:23. > :20:29.but Stephanie Meadow! The Jordanstown woman not only
:20:30. > :20:34.played her first tournament as a professional, she had a more than
:20:35. > :20:37.impressive result at the US Open. Yes, Stephanie finished third,
:20:38. > :20:44.just three shots behind the eventual winner,
:20:45. > :20:46.Michelle Wie, and was comfortably That result should be enough to
:20:47. > :20:53.secure Meadow her LPGA tour card, and she also received a six-figure
:20:54. > :20:55.sum for her week's work. This was the moment that Stephanie
:20:56. > :21:23.Meadow won just over at $270,000. This whole experience will only make
:21:24. > :21:28.the work harder. I did not win, there are people beating me, so I
:21:29. > :21:33.want to try and win majors one day. I will go back and work hard. If you
:21:34. > :21:43.are competitive, doing well is a driving force. The 22-year-old has
:21:44. > :21:47.been based in America for eight years, after her family decided to
:21:48. > :21:53.give her talent the best possible chance to flourish. It just happened
:21:54. > :22:00.that the best possible time. Once he made the decision, once we saw the
:22:01. > :22:03.school and the golf Academy, it was a bit of a no-brainer. We wanted to
:22:04. > :22:15.do it and she really wanted to do it. Meanwhile, Graeme McDowell
:22:16. > :22:23.missed a succession of birdie chances to finish in sixth position
:22:24. > :22:28.at the Irish open. In parting, sometimes the harder you try, the
:22:29. > :22:33.whole starts to shrink. I have had that feeling over the last couple of
:22:34. > :22:36.days. I thought I played the golf to create opportunities to win this
:22:37. > :22:44.weekend. Perhaps I wanted it too badly. But the weekend and patting

:23:16. > :23:18.the Ulster Championship final for a fourth successive year after they
:23:19. > :23:20.swept Antrim aside in an impressive second-half display yesterday.
:23:21. > :23:37.Second-half blitzes have been a feature of this Donegal side in
:23:38. > :23:41.recent years. Whatever was said at half-time seemed to work! Level at
:23:42. > :23:57.the interval, they simply moved up a gear. Opening up a ten point gap
:23:58. > :24:00.over a ten minute spell. We have great belief in the system and the
:24:01. > :24:04.game plan. If every man works hard and sticks to the game plan, he
:24:05. > :24:14.believes that we will get results at the end of the day. You just have to
:24:15. > :24:19.work hard, be up and down the field. I just keep working hard in
:24:20. > :24:24.training. We have put in a big shift in training since the Derry game and
:24:25. > :24:27.it paid off today. There was a surprise at Celtic Park as Derry
