:00:00. > :00:00.That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me - and

:00:00. > :00:15.on BBC An investigation concludes

:00:16. > :00:21.the murder of this police officer The out-going Chief Constable says

:00:22. > :00:38.a new way must be found to deal The police should not be known -- or

:00:39. > :00:43.do longer be task of dealing with issues before the Friday agreement.

:00:44. > :00:46.Once Ireland's richest man, now Sir Anthony O'Reilly has been told to

:00:47. > :00:54.We'll have the heart-warming World Cup tale of the Lurgan lad who's

:00:55. > :00:59.backing his Greek hero to get all the way to the final over in Brazil.

:01:00. > :01:01.The rain clears away just in time for the weekend.

:01:02. > :01:09.I'll have your full forecast shortly.

:01:10. > :01:12.It's been revealed that the murder of a police officer 37

:01:13. > :01:17.years ago could have been prevented by senior RUC commanders.

:01:18. > :01:20.A Police Ombudsman team has been investigating the death of Sergeant

:01:21. > :01:26.The PSNI has already apologised for what it called

:01:27. > :01:28."significant shortcomings" in police investigations at the time.

:01:29. > :01:45.Joe Campbell was a Catholic father of eight, a well-known and respected

:01:46. > :01:52.pacemen. He was shot once in the head in the debris 1977 as he locked

:01:53. > :01:58.up Cushendall police station. 37 years later, the ombudsman says that

:01:59. > :02:03.the RUC field him, and his family. It failed to act on numerous

:02:04. > :02:09.warnings of a threat to him and over decades wilfully hailed information

:02:10. > :02:13.highway from investigators. Because of the specific nature of the

:02:14. > :02:16.intelligence from these officers and the failure to act on that

:02:17. > :02:24.intelligence, had the proper actions being taken, the murder could have

:02:25. > :02:31.been prevented. No one has ever been conveyed that of his death. After an

:02:32. > :02:36.investigation in 1980, fellow police officer, Charles McCormick, was dry

:02:37. > :02:42.and acquitted. The Campbell family has always believed the threat came

:02:43. > :02:45.from within the RUC and the ball collusion. The Police Ombudsman says

:02:46. > :02:50.that whilst there is evidence of that, there is not enough. In the

:02:51. > :02:57.context of Northern Ireland, collusion mean something very

:02:58. > :03:01.specific. I do liberally decided not to use that term in this report

:03:02. > :03:09.because I don't think it is relevant. I don't know what the

:03:10. > :03:15.threshold of the ombudsman is to be able to say that it was collusion.

:03:16. > :03:22.You only have to read the report. It doesn't take a leap of faith to

:03:23. > :03:28.believe that somebody at the most senior level of the RUC colluded and

:03:29. > :03:39.gave intelligence reports about the activities of the suspected murderer

:03:40. > :03:42.to that person. Some retired police officers cooperated, others didn't.

:03:43. > :03:47.The ombudsman wishes he could have compelled them. The Chief Constable

:03:48. > :03:52.at the time told investigators he does not remember the Joe Campbell

:03:53. > :04:11.case. Joe's widow says he to remember it. I met him in his

:04:12. > :04:13.private office. He said that to RUC officers had been investigated. I

:04:14. > :04:22.met his wife and we had tea together. I met him again, and he

:04:23. > :04:26.doesn't remember me? This was never an investigation into who murdered

:04:27. > :04:30.Joe Campbell, but into how the police acted before and after he

:04:31. > :04:35.died. The Police Ombudsman now says he can't do any more. The Campbell

:04:36. > :04:38.family says it needs and serves and justice. -- needs answers and

:04:39. > :04:46.justice. The legacy of the past has proved to

:04:47. > :04:49.be a thorn in the side On his final day in office,

:04:50. > :04:53.the outgoing Chief Constable has said the police should no longer be

:04:54. > :04:55.responsible for investigating Troubles-related

:04:56. > :04:57.murders that took place before Matt Baggott spoke to our

:04:58. > :05:11.Home Affairs correspondent The past often cast a shadow over

:05:12. > :05:16.Matt Baggott's time in office. He said it hindered the PSNI's ability

:05:17. > :05:23.to police and damaged public confidence will study says a radical

:05:24. > :05:28.new approach is needed. We need to separate the past from the present.

:05:29. > :05:33.However that is done, the police service of Northern Ireland should

:05:34. > :05:39.longer be accountable for things before the great -- the Good Friday

:05:40. > :05:45.Agreement. I agreed believer in justice. The law demands that the

:05:46. > :05:49.police service investigates serious matters, not just in the present but

:05:50. > :05:54.in the past. Well we are dealing with the past we are not dealing

:05:55. > :05:58.sufficiently with the present. We need to create a situation where

:05:59. > :06:01.police resources are focused on the here and now, without taking away

:06:02. > :06:10.from the needs of the hymns in the past. Should the PSNI do longer be

:06:11. > :06:15.investigating murders before 1998? Should I begin into a stand-alone

:06:16. > :06:22.body? I think that is where the model should be taken. I think the

:06:23. > :06:28.future is too important to allow us to carry on in this ad hoc way where

:06:29. > :06:35.confidence is constantly sap because of matters that took face a

:06:36. > :06:41.relatively long time ago. Union flag protests also cast a shadow. With

:06:42. > :06:44.the Chief Constable widely criticised for the police response.

:06:45. > :06:50.Nationalist accused them of being too soft, while union said there

:06:51. > :06:53.were too heavy-handed. A judge said the approach to the parades was

:06:54. > :07:00.wrong and they should not have facilitated the legal process. Matt

:07:01. > :07:04.Baggott says they got it right. To take 30 people of the road would

:07:05. > :07:09.require 100 police officers. On some nights we were dealing with two or

:07:10. > :07:15.three riots at the same time. If you register numbers on the street you

:07:16. > :07:18.end up with nobody to deal with the riots. The implication of that in a

:07:19. > :07:24.world where the paramilitaries are still present could have been a mass

:07:25. > :07:28.loss of life. These comments come at week before all-party talks are due

:07:29. > :07:35.to take place on the issues of flags, parades and the past. Map I

:07:36. > :07:39.get criticised politicians during his time in office for failing to

:07:40. > :07:43.give unequivocal support to the police. As he departs coming he

:07:44. > :07:48.appealed to them to stop using policing as a political football.

:07:49. > :07:54.The politics have become out of policing and vice versa. When we get

:07:55. > :08:00.it wrong, criticise us, but don't criticise us in the political sense.

:08:01. > :08:04.Map I get sent this message to politicians. Try to support George

:08:05. > :08:08.in terms of resource in the police, irrespective of what people may

:08:09. > :08:13.think we still need money and to sustain our current level of

:08:14. > :08:17.resources is necessary. Try to take the politics out of events and

:08:18. > :08:21.policing and work hard to take the past away from the present. Give

:08:22. > :08:27.George the space to manage today's police service. The new Chief

:08:28. > :08:30.Constable won't have long to wait to test the political waters. He is due

:08:31. > :08:37.So, how easy would it be to reconcile the past with the present?

:08:38. > :08:40.A former Police Ombudsman believes we may be nearly there.

:08:41. > :08:42.Our reporter Ita Dungan has been gauging reaction to Mr Baggott's

:08:43. > :08:53.The murders and atrocities of the past will not go away and until

:08:54. > :08:57.there is agreement about how best to deal with it, the past will remain

:08:58. > :09:03.very much part of the present. Or than 3500 people have been killed in

:09:04. > :09:09.more than three decades of violence. 2,000 of those murders remain

:09:10. > :09:14.unsolved. Investigating the past takes between five and 10% of the

:09:15. > :09:19.police budget. Matt I could believe is those investigations are a drain

:09:20. > :09:26.on resources. He suggests building -- bringing in an new authority to

:09:27. > :09:30.take over. I would find it incredibly difficult to understand

:09:31. > :09:34.how we could have two police forces in Northern Ireland in one

:09:35. > :09:37.jurisdiction. I think that would lead to confusion, overlap and

:09:38. > :09:43.potentially serious the stakes being made. For republicans, they have

:09:44. > :09:44.never wanted the police investigating historical murders.

:09:45. > :09:50.never wanted the police Sinn Fein has always believed there

:09:51. > :09:50.should be an independent international truth

:09:51. > :10:00.should be an independent to deal with the legacy of the past.

:10:01. > :10:01.The proposals that were put forward were a compromise.

:10:02. > :10:06.The proposals that were put forward independent commission for truth

:10:07. > :10:09.recovery and an historical investigation unit.

:10:10. > :10:15.recovery and an historical compromise. We felt it was one

:10:16. > :10:18.was workable. One former Police Ombudsman believes we are actually

:10:19. > :10:20.learning from the past. I think that the people in Northern

:10:21. > :10:28.learning from the past. I think that through the number of enquiries that

:10:29. > :10:32.we have had, I think they have come to a place where there is a

:10:33. > :10:36.consensus that what we need is an independent investigation unit. Is

:10:37. > :10:43.it easier than our political parties make about to be? Yes, it is. What

:10:44. > :10:46.to do is you conduct an evidence -based investigation, report on

:10:47. > :10:52.provable facts and that is all you can do. How close we are to that

:10:53. > :10:56.agreed may be revealed in the next few weeks when the parties return to

:10:57. > :11:01.negotiations about how best to deal with the past 40 years. The outcome

:11:02. > :11:01.of the stocks have a direct impact on the future of

:11:02. > :11:20.A nursing home in West Belfast has breached numerous regulations

:11:21. > :11:22.around the recruitment and training of its staff.

:11:23. > :11:24.BBC Newsline can reveal that the health regulator found some

:11:25. > :11:26.employees hadn't been properly vetted or had

:11:27. > :11:29.The Health and Social Care Board, which is in overall charge

:11:30. > :11:31.of Northern Ireland's health service, has described the breaches

:11:32. > :11:34.as serious and says vulnerable people had been let down.

:11:35. > :11:57.Our Lady's Home, home to some of the most elderly and vulnerable people

:11:58. > :12:04.in the area. It also runs a daycare centre for people with dementia. It

:12:05. > :12:09.employs about 130 people. An inspection was triggered after a

:12:10. > :12:14.member of the public as the RQIA of details of an access NI disclaimer

:12:15. > :12:22.form, which would allow them to working -- which would allow them to

:12:23. > :12:26.work here without vetting. Once the inspectors arrived here and

:12:27. > :12:29.announced, further problems came to light. The managerial breaches are

:12:30. > :12:36.described as serious. They include failing to provide character

:12:37. > :12:39.references, not vetting employees including not questioning gaps in

:12:40. > :12:43.employment history. No confirmation of Stafford and the implication, not

:12:44. > :12:46.carrying out pre-employment health and fitness checks and the acting

:12:47. > :12:53.manager had not attended any training in staff recruitment. Older

:12:54. > :12:59.people require specialist care, especially with feeding, toileting

:13:00. > :13:02.and even in communicating. Health professionals say not everyone can

:13:03. > :13:06.do the job so regulations must be respected. The most vulnerable

:13:07. > :13:13.people in our society deserve the best possible care. One way to

:13:14. > :13:17.ensure that they receive it is to have appropriate recruitment

:13:18. > :13:22.procedures in place. Pre-employment checking and vetting is part of that

:13:23. > :13:26.process and it is disappointing, as well as serious, to note that any

:13:27. > :13:31.organisation has failed to comply with that standard. Their results

:13:32. > :13:34.were called for at the RQIA to ensure reports on individual homes

:13:35. > :13:38.are more readily available to the public. People who might want to go

:13:39. > :13:44.into those arms in the future, it is important that the system is able to

:13:45. > :13:47.reassure people that those services are safe and they can expect a high

:13:48. > :13:51.level of service when they are there. A spokesperson for the

:13:52. > :13:55.Catholic Church told the BBC that those staff members affected have

:13:56. > :13:58.been stood down from duties until the vetting process is complete. It

:13:59. > :14:02.added that it is strengthening its monitoring system. The regulators

:14:03. > :14:04.have given the nursing home until the 22nd July to comply with all of

:14:05. > :14:08.the regulations. A joint delegation of politicians

:14:09. > :14:11.from most of the Unionist parties and members of the Orange Order have

:14:12. > :14:14.met with the Secretary of State, Theresa Villiers,

:14:15. > :14:15.to discuss contentious parades. The DUP claims the situation

:14:16. > :14:17.around the forthcoming Ardoyne and Meanwhile, a senior Orangeman

:14:18. > :14:23.in Portadown has called on the Secretary of State to sack members

:14:24. > :14:25.of the Parades Commission over its Here is our political

:14:26. > :14:40.reporter Stephen Walker. The Parades Commission had

:14:41. > :14:44.originally decided to allow two bands and 200 marchers to walk along

:14:45. > :14:48.the stretch of road that the marchers called Victoria Terrace.

:14:49. > :14:51.Nationalists say it is part of the Garvaghy Road. On Wednesday, the

:14:52. > :14:58.commission changed its mind after receiving fresh information.

:14:59. > :15:01.Yesterday, DUP delegation met -- met the commission and afterwards they

:15:02. > :15:05.claimed that the commission had agreed to review their decision for

:15:06. > :15:10.a second time. There were six of us there today and all of us left that

:15:11. > :15:14.meeting under the impression that we had got a review and the Parades

:15:15. > :15:19.Commission told us there were giving us the review on new evidence

:15:20. > :15:21.provided. It shows how shambolic the Parades Commission is. In a

:15:22. > :15:25.statement, the Parades Commission said there would be no review of its

:15:26. > :15:31.decision to place restrictions on the Portadown parade. It says the

:15:32. > :15:34.restrictions remain in place. Today, leading Portadown Orangemen

:15:35. > :15:39.called on the Secretary of State to intervene. I think it is time

:15:40. > :15:45.neither the Secretary of State to call chair of the commission in, and

:15:46. > :15:49.all the commissioners, and sack them forthwith. The decisions to place

:15:50. > :15:54.restrictions on the march has been welcomed by Sinn Fein and the SDLP.

:15:55. > :16:00.Each year the Portadown district comes up with a new scam in order to

:16:01. > :16:04.up the ante in advance of the annual Drumcree parade. Last year it was a

:16:05. > :16:10.hymn service in Portadown People's Park. This year it is about the

:16:11. > :16:11.dedication of an arch. The event in Portadown will take place tomorrow

:16:12. > :16:23.night. Young people from the Schenkel and

:16:24. > :16:31.Ardoyne upon night for a sleep-out. --

:16:32. > :16:34.Ireland's first billionaire and owner of the Belfast Telegraph faces

:16:35. > :16:36.Sir Anthony O'Reilly, who's recognised

:16:37. > :16:39.for his business affairs at home and abroad, has raked-up huge debts and

:16:40. > :16:43.Our Dublin correspondent Shane Harrison was at the

:16:44. > :17:03.Sir Anthony O'Reilly was once described as Alan's richest man.

:17:04. > :17:09.A label that increasingly sounds like can unintended curse. He was

:17:10. > :17:13.the countries first billionaire. A former rugby international who also

:17:14. > :17:18.played with the Lions, he went on to have a global business career and

:17:19. > :17:22.was both the chairman and chief executive of the giant multinational

:17:23. > :17:26.Heinz Corporation, a company most associated with the beans. Although

:17:27. > :17:30.based in America, he never lost interest in Ireland north or south

:17:31. > :17:34.and was a business campaigner for peace, then later for a similar

:17:35. > :17:42.corporation tax rate north and south. His Independent News and

:17:43. > :17:44.media company owned -- owned the Belfast Telegraph amongst others. As

:17:45. > :17:51.an investment, it cost him a fortune, as did Waterford Wedgwood,

:17:52. > :17:57.them manufacturers of crystal and porcelain. His debts led to a case

:17:58. > :18:00.in the commercial court. Sir Anthony Burden owns an estimated 300 and you

:18:01. > :18:05.knew Rob to banks and Burden owns an estimated 300 and you

:18:25. > :18:29.disposing of this property, but the judge this afternoon refused, saying

:18:30. > :18:35.he believes there was forcing the argument that the former billionaire

:18:36. > :18:40.was insolvent. Sir Anthony now faces the forced sale of his assets. Once

:18:41. > :18:42.again, how the once mighty have fallen.

:18:43. > :18:44.Young people from the Shankill and the Ardoyne districts of

:18:45. > :18:46.North Belfast came together last night for all-night sleep-out.

:18:47. > :18:49.They did it to raise awareness of homelessness, but, as BBC Newsline's

:18:50. > :19:05.Mark Simpson reports, the event also helped to build community relations.

:19:06. > :19:11.Side-by-side under the stars are North Belfast. Young people from the

:19:12. > :19:20.Shankill and Ardoyne. They looked comfortable in each other's company,

:19:21. > :19:24.but were they? Comfortable enough. I wouldn't say they are 100%

:19:25. > :19:29.comfortable, but comfortable enough to come in and engage. The venue was

:19:30. > :19:33.the Ardoyne good club, the purpose to raise awareness about

:19:34. > :19:38.homelessness and bring young people together from across the baseline.

:19:39. > :19:43.Times are changing. People need to start breaking down the barriers. I

:19:44. > :19:48.am happy to say I will work with Protestant or Catholic so. Everyone

:19:49. > :19:55.has the same problems. People have the same troubles. Everyone

:19:56. > :20:01.has the same problems. People have same. The Lord and a showed her

:20:02. > :20:02.support, as did Joe Gormley from Cliftonville football club. Everyone

:20:03. > :20:13.involved, it was a long night. It is Cliftonville football club. Everyone

:20:14. > :20:17.just after 9am. It rained most of the night. I came back to see how

:20:18. > :20:21.they are getting on. Not everyone made it right through the night. In

:20:22. > :20:28.fact, there was only one person left from the Shankill. Whether nice to

:20:29. > :20:35.you? Of course they were. They fear me, they have to be nice to me!

:20:36. > :20:43.you? Of course they were. They fear the main man! How did the Shankill

:20:44. > :20:47.and Ardoyne on overnight? Perfectly. The crack has been 90. It all ended

:20:48. > :20:52.with something enjoyed by The crack has been 90. It all ended

:20:53. > :20:55.of the divide in Belfast, a big bacon battery.

:20:56. > :21:01.The World Cup may be going on in Brazil, but for one star player,

:21:02. > :21:03.his thoughts are stretching across the Atlantic to

:21:04. > :21:15.Mark Sidebottom is here with the story.

:21:16. > :21:17.Yes, Giorgios Samaras was the hero for millions

:21:18. > :21:20.of his fellow Greeks when he scored the last-minute penalty that sent

:21:21. > :21:22.his country through into the knockout stages of the World Cup.

:21:23. > :21:25.But, undoubtedly, the number one fan of the former

:21:26. > :21:27.Celtic striker is back here, and the appreciation is mutual.

:21:28. > :21:46.They say that you should never meet your heroes, but this relationship

:21:47. > :21:49.between ten-year-old Jade Iti from Lurgan and Georgios Samaras has

:21:50. > :21:54.developed into a close friendship. They might have been separated by

:21:55. > :21:57.thousands of miles, but when the striker became the hero for Greece

:21:58. > :22:10.in the World Cup, his number one fan could not have been prouder. In

:22:11. > :22:13.front of the worlds media, he used a press conference to send a personal

:22:14. > :22:18.message all the way from South America to County Fermanagh. I want

:22:19. > :22:31.to thank you for the strength you give me. Your smile and your support

:22:32. > :22:39.gives strength to everyone. I want to say that I am really proud that

:22:40. > :22:49.you are my friend. I hope to see you to say that I am really proud that

:22:50. > :22:55.soon. There is only one team and one player that young Jay wants to see

:22:56. > :23:07.progress further. I am sorry I won't be there. But, I still love you very

:23:08. > :23:20.much. Come on, Sammy! He is to say that he will be inspired by him as

:23:21. > :23:24.he faces Costa Rica on Sunday. It is amazing what you can learn in

:23:25. > :23:29.conversation over lunch, but nothing prepared the president of the GAA

:23:30. > :23:33.that not only was the Queen fan of the sport of hurling, but she had

:23:34. > :23:38.watched the game as recently as just a few weeks ago and marvelled at the

:23:42. > :23:45.speed of it. Three years ago the Queen made where the royal couple

:23:46. > :23:55.were resented with the hurling stick. Just three days ago at a

:23:56. > :24:00.dinner in quite a revelation. The lunch on Tuesday, the president of

:24:01. > :24:05.the GAA was at her table. The Queen told him that she had just recently

:24:06. > :24:12.watched the hurling match and that she had enjoyed it. Would you stand?

:24:13. > :24:19.I think the table was stunned! He then offered an invitation to see a

:24:20. > :24:25.hurling match. It certainly opened up a conversation. She said, yes, I

:24:26. > :24:31.have seen it. She made it an movement of head as if she was

:24:32. > :24:36.watching tennis, very quick, she said it is wonderful, very fast. I

:24:37. > :24:41.have to say, I was pretty pleased about that. The GAA president says

:24:42. > :24:43.he is hopeful that the member of the Royal family will accept his invite

:24:44. > :24:51.to come and watch a game of international rules.

:24:52. > :24:53.Coverage of the weekend's All-Ireland qualifying matches and

:24:54. > :24:55.the Ulster semi-final between Armagh and Monaghan on BBC Radio Ulster

:24:56. > :25:12.We can confirm, that the Queen will not be in attendance.

:25:13. > :25:14.The weekend beckons and we're hoping for dry sunny weather.

:25:15. > :25:33.Barra Best is here. No pressure at all! The weather has

:25:34. > :25:37.sorted itself out just before the weekend. Plenty of dry weather

:25:38. > :25:41.developing and many of us are ending on a sunny end to the day. Through

:25:42. > :25:48.the night it will stay dry. It may be quite cool in some places as the

:25:49. > :25:58.amateurs fall into single figures. Under cloudy conditions, the

:25:59. > :26:01.pitchers -- temperatures will stay just into double figures. Tomorrow

:26:02. > :26:07.there will be sunny spells and it will be mainly dry. So, to begin the

:26:08. > :26:12.day tomorrow, the cloud will break up and it will allow the sunshine to

:26:13. > :26:15.come through. In the sunshine, highs of the 18 degrees. With the wind

:26:16. > :26:22.coming in off the coast, it will feel quite cool with temperatures of

:26:23. > :26:25.just 13 of 14 degrees. Tomorrow, the emphasis is on dry weather, but we

:26:26. > :26:33.did see one or two showers in parts of the West. Enter tomorrow evening,

:26:34. > :26:39.not a bad evening with plenty of right weather. He could chant your

:26:40. > :26:44.arm at a barbecue, but they can't promise that heat for that. It will

:26:45. > :26:48.stay dry. Tomorrow night, another chilly night in store for some

:26:49. > :26:54.places as the amateurs dipped to 67 degrees. The good news is, looking

:26:55. > :27:00.ahead to Sunday, very little difference. This time we might see a

:27:01. > :27:05.few showers in eastern areas, but most places will stay dry and

:27:06. > :27:10.bright. The drier weather will be further west this time in the summit

:27:11. > :27:20.will feel warm with highs of 18 degrees. With the onshore winds, the

:27:21. > :27:28.coast will feel about 1314 degrees. -- 13 or 14 degrees. Plenty of dry

:27:29. > :27:29.and bright weather for next week, just the chance of 12 showers at

:27:30. > :27:39.times.
