:01:40. > :01:48.Public transport is free to everyone over 60. The policy has been in
:01:49. > :01:52.place since 2008 and funding comes from Stormont, but now there are
:01:53. > :01:59.peers a risk that money could be lost. The minister responsible for
:02:00. > :02:03.public transport says he faces a fight to get ?9 million this scheme
:02:04. > :02:09.needs this year. I think the fundamental challenge to the
:02:10. > :02:14.Executive is, will it maintain a concessionary fares scheme paid for
:02:15. > :02:19.in full by the Executive as we move forward? The backdrop to this is
:02:20. > :02:24.tough financial decisions for Stormont. Budgets for each
:02:25. > :02:29.department are being high cold over by the Executive. There is no
:02:30. > :02:34.agreement yet but Danny Care of the suggests his department looks like

:03:04. > :03:09.of Stormont said there was no longer money to pay for it? It would be a
:03:10. > :03:16.major disaster. This is Danny Kennedy firing a warning shot. Even

:03:34. > :03:36.Brooks to the promoter Peter Aiken says his heart is breaking because
:03:37. > :03:41.of the controversy over the five cancelled concerts. While the ship
:03:42. > :03:48.carrying his equipment is still on its way to Ireland, he says it is
:03:49. > :03:52.still five concerts or none. He is expected to talk to the American
:03:53. > :03:56.media tomorrow. With that controversy featuring in the Dail
:03:57. > :04:02.today, some of the key players have not been saying much today, but as
:04:03. > :04:03.Shane Harrison reports, others have not been slow to voice their
:04:04. > :04:06.disappointment. This B run by a Newry man is about
:04:07. > :04:10.ten minutes' walk from Croke Park. All 12 of his rooms were booked
:04:11. > :04:13.for all five nights of the The cancellations, he believes, will
:04:14. > :04:21.devastate the hospitality industry. Some believe anything
:04:22. > :04:35.up to 50 million euro I would be very fearful for the
:04:36. > :04:38.reputation of Dublin. Quite a large majority of the people who were
:04:39. > :04:42.staying with me were from the north of Ireland. They had thought they
:04:43. > :04:48.might come to Dublin for the weekend but I think a lot of them are little
:04:49. > :04:50.upset if not annoyed with what has happened and I think they will avoid
:04:51. > :04:53.Dublin for the foreseeable future. Garth Brooks last week issued
:04:54. > :04:56.an ultimatum - all five concerts or none, after Dublin City Council gave
:04:57. > :04:58.the go-ahead for only three. With 400,000 tickets sold,
:04:59. > :05:12.there were mixed views among those Absolutely gutted for the local
:05:13. > :05:18.community and for the whole country. It didn't need to get to this level.
:05:19. > :05:24.I am terribly sorry for all the fans and I am ashamed of the handful of
:05:25. > :05:27.residents who have destroyed this. A very to the pointed that Garth
:05:28. > :05:33.Brooks took a decision to be petulant and Deeside after doing his
:05:34. > :05:38.account, because the City Council made a decision to put it down to
:05:39. > :05:39.three concerts he decided he was not going.
:05:40. > :05:41.The GAA and Aiken Promotions have been
:05:42. > :05:44.accused by some residents who live near Croke Park of corporate greed.
:05:45. > :05:47.The association says it regrets that the concerts aren't going ahead,
:05:48. > :05:48.but was unable to provide an interviewee.
:05:49. > :05:55.The concert saga, variously described
:05:56. > :05:59.as a shambles and a fiasco, will be debated by a parliamentary
:06:00. > :06:02.or Oireachtas committee tomorrow, with all the main players
:06:03. > :06:14.The concert issue was again raised in the Dail today.
:06:15. > :06:20.I am very disappointed that it hasn't happened and it will not
:06:21. > :06:25.happen now, but it is a bitter economic lesson to have learned.
:06:26. > :06:28.There are processes that have to be put in place that work. They work
:06:29. > :06:32.everywhere else, they should work here also.
:06:33. > :06:34.With the controversy so far having generated more thunderous noise than
:06:35. > :06:37.light, Garth Brooks is expected to give his side of the story tomorrow
:06:38. > :06:40.when he talks to the media in America about 5pm our time.
:06:41. > :06:43.It's widely believed here that common sense did not prevail
:06:44. > :06:45.and that none of the main players involved emerge
:06:46. > :06:49.with their reputations particularly enhanced - not Croke Park,
:06:50. > :07:00.the city and council, and not Aiken Promotions nor Garth Brooks.
:07:01. > :07:06.So short of some last-minute development in Dublin, the main
:07:07. > :07:09.issues for fans in the North boils down to how to get their money back.
:07:10. > :07:10.Businesses have also been counting the cost
:07:11. > :07:13.of just how much they might be out. Mervyn Jess reports.
:07:14. > :07:15.So, day two of the Garth Brooks bombshell.
:07:16. > :07:16.And with 400,000 disappointed ticket holders,
:07:17. > :07:20.you would have expected a deluge of calls to consumer advice centres.
:07:21. > :07:29.But apparently not - at least for the time being.
:07:30. > :07:37.We have had mainly general enquiries but we don't expect to receive much
:07:38. > :07:40.complaints until people are going through the refund process and
:07:41. > :07:43.encounter difficulties. At the minute there is a lot of media
:07:44. > :07:46.coverage and people understand what is going on.
:07:47. > :07:48.Fans camped out for days in the depth of winter
:07:49. > :07:52.And now they're left wondering, for what?
:07:53. > :07:58.Some of those people were in today and they are devastated because they
:07:59. > :08:04.are not getting to see heart -- Garth Brooks. They have waited 17
:08:05. > :08:09.years to see his conqueror, some of them for the first time, so they are
:08:10. > :08:16.fans and the heartbroken Garth Brooks is not coming to Ireland.
:08:17. > :08:20.Businesses north and south are taking a big head over
:08:21. > :08:25.cancellations. This bus company will lose thousands of pounds. This has
:08:26. > :08:32.cost the company approximately ?700,000. -- ?7,000 and a lot of
:08:33. > :08:39.advertising on top of that. We had people who had booked transport to
:08:40. > :08:43.do to Garth Brooks. They had paid up front so we are now refunding their
:08:44. > :08:49.money. It will take a while to get it organised. For now music fans
:08:50. > :08:56.will have to make do with Garth Brooks CDs and cardboard cutouts.
:08:57. > :08:58.Campaigners for the truth about the 1974 Birmingham pub
:08:59. > :09:01.bombings say they are keeping their options open about who was
:09:02. > :09:04.The IRA has never admitted carrying out the bombings in
:09:05. > :09:09.The Justice For The 21 group gave evidence to MPs today as part
:09:10. > :09:13.of an inquiry into letters sent to on-the-run paramilitaries.
:09:14. > :09:16.Here's our political editor Mark Devenport.
:09:17. > :09:20.21 people died and more than 180 were injured when
:09:21. > :09:25.bombs exploded in two pubs in the centre of Birmingham 40 years ago.
:09:26. > :09:28.Six men were sentenced to life for the bombings,
:09:29. > :09:31.but 16 years later their convictions were quashed after their confessions
:09:32. > :09:37.Today the brother and sister of Maxine Hambleton, one of the
:09:38. > :09:40.Birmingham victims, gave evidence to a Westminster committee.
:09:41. > :09:43.They expressed their anger about the scheme supplying letters
:09:44. > :09:46.to on-the-run paramilitaries, then raised questions
:09:47. > :09:55.about why the IRA had never admitted carrying out the bombings.
:09:56. > :10:06.In the 1970s, obviously now the British government is trying to
:10:07. > :10:10.discredit the IRA, Birmingham isn't Northern Ireland, it is the
:10:11. > :10:16.mainland, and we are always viewed as a second city and lower than
:10:17. > :10:22.that, but at the time the 1970s was a dark and dismal decade, I think
:10:23. > :10:29.Birmingham was used as a soft touch to do what happened related to the
:10:30. > :10:32.Troubles. The family work radical of the police and others in authority
:10:33. > :10:34.who they claim treated them like lepers.
:10:35. > :10:36.They called for an inquiry into the bombing and
:10:37. > :10:42.an investigation aimed at bringing those responsible to justice.
:10:43. > :10:44.They were some of the most controversial killings
:10:45. > :10:46.of the Troubles. Eight IRA men shot dead
:10:47. > :10:49.in an SAS ambush as they attacked Loughgall police station.
:10:50. > :10:51.Now the Secretary of State has intervened in the case
:10:52. > :10:55.She says her move is in the interests of national security.
:10:56. > :10:59.The Attorney General, however, says Theresa Villiers' decision is
:11:00. > :11:03.profoundly wrong. Eunan McConville reports.
:11:04. > :11:15.As they began a gun and bomb attack on the police station, the SAS
:11:16. > :11:17.opened fire. An inquest was held in 1995,
:11:18. > :11:20.but six years later, the European Court of Human Rights declared that
:11:21. > :11:23.the investigation into the killings The case has been with the Attorney
:11:24. > :11:26.General for Northern Ireland, He was to make a decision on whether
:11:27. > :11:30.a new inquest should proceed. Now the Secretary of State has
:11:31. > :11:46.intervened, certifying that the The difficulty is that the term
:11:47. > :11:51.national-security means whatever the government wants it to mean. It is
:11:52. > :11:58.not defined anywhere. We see this as part of a relentless campaign by the
:11:59. > :12:00.UK Government to prevent the truth coming out about what its agents did
:12:01. > :12:02.during the conflict. Theresa Villiers' intervention means
:12:03. > :12:04.that the decision about a new inquest now goes to
:12:05. > :12:07.Dominic Grieve in his capacity as Advocate General for Northern
:12:08. > :12:20.Ireland - that is, Whitehall's chief My decision is to apply the law and
:12:21. > :12:27.if national security considerations are at stake, this is a reserved
:12:28. > :12:28.matter for the advocate general to make the decision on whether it is
:12:29. > :12:30.appropriate. John Larkin's office has issued
:12:31. > :12:33.a letter saying that he believes the Secretary of State's decision to
:12:34. > :12:35.be profoundly wrong in principle. The letter goes on to say that
:12:36. > :12:50.Mr Larkin is reflecting We have just heard that for families
:12:51. > :12:55.of those killed at Loughgall will be seeking a judicial review into the
:12:56. > :13:04.decision by Theresa Villiers to certify national-security interests
:13:05. > :13:07.in the case for a new inquest. A new School of Law at Queens University
:13:08. > :13:09.has been granted planning permission.
:13:10. > :13:10.The redevelopment will create 450 construction jobs.
:13:11. > :13:13.While those jobs are guaranteed, the future is not so clear
:13:14. > :13:15.for many of the law students and others graduating
:13:16. > :13:18.from university this week. Donna is at Queen's this evening.
:13:19. > :13:23.This is graduation season, when after years of study, students
:13:24. > :13:33.A recent newspaper survey suggested that two-thirds of people
:13:34. > :13:36.between the ages of 16 and 24 want to build their future
:13:37. > :13:50.As for the graduates, we have been speaking to some of them. I want to
:13:51. > :13:57.move away. Spanish is my professor language. I plan to stay in Northern
:13:58. > :14:03.Ireland. There is not a lot of job opportunities but this is my home
:14:04. > :14:09.and my mummy is here so I will be here for a while yet. I will be
:14:10. > :14:13.training as a solicitor so I will stay in Northern Ireland but
:14:14. > :14:18.eventually I would like to move. It is not my long-term plan to stay in
:14:19. > :14:23.Northern Ireland. Why is that? Brighter, sunnier places. I would
:14:24. > :14:29.like to see the world and see what the raise. I will stay in Northern
:14:30. > :14:35.Ireland. I am doing a Masters next year, I just won a scholarship which
:14:36. > :14:40.pays the fees, so I will see about a Ph.D. If I am successful. We have
:14:41. > :14:44.jobs over in Bristol so we're looking forward to getting over
:14:45. > :14:49.there and starting work. I have more graduates with me. Nikolai, you
:14:50. > :14:55.qualified in languages so I would expect you to go abroad. My plan is
:14:56. > :15:00.to go to France to teach English as a foreign language in a primary
:15:01. > :15:04.school for 12 hours a week, in a place south-west of Paris. With
:15:05. > :15:11.Debbie any point in you staying? As a language graduate it is important
:15:12. > :15:16.to put my skills into practice which I overly done in Spain. Karen, you
:15:17. > :15:22.studied English. What are your plans? I have a four-week placement
:15:23. > :15:27.in Munich in Germany with the tourism industry, which will give me
:15:28. > :15:34.a chance to live away from home. When I come back I want then decide
:15:35. > :15:39.whether to do a PGCE or a course to teach English as a foreign language,
:15:40. > :15:43.which allow you to go to any non-English speaking country in the
:15:44. > :15:48.world. When we look at the unemployment register, we see a high
:15:49. > :15:53.percentage of young people. The minister in charge of universities,
:15:54. > :15:57.Stephen Farry, is with me. The impression is that you are not doing
:15:58. > :16:01.enough to keep graduates here. We have seen a record year for
:16:02. > :16:08.investment Northern Ireland for job creation, ahead of targets and those
:16:09. > :16:14.are for graduate jobs. There are a whole range of opportunities. We
:16:15. > :16:16.have also doubled the number of Ph.D. Is we support in Northern
:16:17. > :16:22.Ireland so there were some good postgrad opportunities. We saw many
:16:23. > :16:27.people graduating and all the pomp and ceremony here this week, but
:16:28. > :16:33.many of them are telling us they are going away. Jobs are just not here.
:16:34. > :16:39.As our economy changes over the next years, we will need more people with
:16:40. > :16:42.higher level skills and that means graduates and high-level
:16:43. > :16:47.apprenticeships, so I am confident we will see good economic prospects
:16:48. > :16:50.for young people. We have to create the right economic context and
:16:51. > :16:55.political stability so people want to build their future here. In
:16:56. > :16:59.regard to Queens, Trevor Johnston, you have to much jobs with
:17:00. > :17:06.provocations and degrees. Are you getting that right? We survey
:17:07. > :17:11.graduate each year, so 94% of graduates last year or in employment
:17:12. > :17:15.or further study, and of those in employment, 80% are in Northern
:17:16. > :17:21.Ireland. Yet we hear of many law graduates who cannot get jobs. We
:17:22. > :17:25.work closely with schools and we have had engaged in on the campus
:17:26. > :17:31.this year in terms of players who want to be here. We have opened
:17:32. > :17:36.bookings for October and have been inundated by players who want to
:17:37. > :17:40.come onto the campus. Today was the last day of graduation ceremonies
:17:41. > :17:44.here. Whatever the graduates are doing, we wish them well.
:17:45. > :17:46.Ballymena's Wrightbus has won a contract worth more than ?30
:17:47. > :17:48.million to supply double-decker buses to Singapore.
:17:49. > :17:50.The deal is its fourth consecutive contract
:17:51. > :17:55.The company's Wrightbus International arm will supply it

:18:04. > :18:07.From now on, when you're flying in or out of the UK, you'll have to be
:18:08. > :18:10.able to show that mobile devices in your hand luggage can be powered on.
:18:11. > :18:13.The new security measures mean potentially having to leave
:18:14. > :18:18.an uncharged phone or tablet behind at the airport,
:18:19. > :18:31.So what do passengers think? Conor Macauley went to find out.
:18:32. > :18:40.Could we see the array that you have? At Belfast International
:18:41. > :18:44.Airport, I meet David Smith, who works for a company and agrees to
:18:45. > :18:47.put on display all the mobile devices he is about to carry on his
:18:48. > :18:53.flight. That's two phones, a personal iPad and a work laptop.
:18:54. > :19:00.There is another work iPad locked away that he cannot get out. You
:19:01. > :19:09.need a phone, but do you have to carry everything you have? Yes, two
:19:10. > :19:13.iPods that back iPad is, one phone and laptop for work, one for
:19:14. > :19:17.personal use. Maybe if my employer was not as stingy with version calls
:19:18. > :19:25.on the work mobile I could sacrifice that. What is the battery like on
:19:26. > :19:30.these? They are all full, I made sure so they can be switched on. So
:19:31. > :19:36.if he had to sacrifice an uncharged device to catch a flight, would he
:19:37. > :19:43.be prepared to do would? If I have to, yeah. It is the busiest time of
:19:44. > :19:46.the year at our local airports and possibly the worst time to introduce
:19:47. > :19:51.new security arrangements, especially when they are about
:19:52. > :19:56.Willey. The advice issued is pretty unspecific. Authorities say it will
:19:57. > :20:02.affect some UK flights into some airports and they are not saying
:20:03. > :20:06.which ones, so the upshot is that anyone flying into any UK airport
:20:07. > :20:11.will have to prove that their mobile devices are capable of being powered
:20:12. > :20:18.up. As you might imagine, holiday makers do not relish the extra
:20:19. > :20:25.hassle. I would just bring a charger. I think a phone is less of
:20:26. > :20:30.an issue. It is usually powered up at computers take forever. And that
:20:31. > :20:35.sums it up cash travelling just got a little more tiresome as a
:20:36. > :20:40.trade-off for greater aviation security. I hope they have a good
:20:41. > :20:44.trip. Football fans were left stunned at
:20:45. > :20:46.Brazil's 7-1 defeat to Germany in It was the worst result
:20:47. > :20:50.in the host nation?s history. Michael Fitzpatrick has been

:21:07. > :21:11.went quickly optimism turned to disappointment. On the pitch, the
:21:12. > :21:17.German goals kept coming. The shock in the stadium was mirrored here and

:21:44. > :21:47.thought it was a replay from another match that was not happening to us.
:21:48. > :21:51.We didn't believe it was happening to us. After we have done so well

:22:07. > :22:10.each house flying the flag No-one was answering the door
:22:11. > :22:29.at the Brazil house this afternoon. Unfortunately, her father-in-law
:22:30. > :22:35.offered money for the ticket but she refused. I would have sold it
:22:36. > :22:42.because I didn't fancy Brazil. I got bells, I got a good run for my
:22:43. > :22:45.money, so on Sunday there will be a street party for the kids and then
:22:46. > :22:47.we will watch the match on the big screen.
:22:48. > :22:50.Brazil might not have a World Cup party, but in this corner of
:22:51. > :22:56.Northern Ireland, someone will be celebrating come the final whistle.
:22:57. > :23:03.A different sport now. Mark Sidebottom's in Ballymoney.
:23:04. > :23:11.Yes, I am in Ballymoney Townhall Faulkner -- ordinarily this room
:23:12. > :23:18.would be steeped in motorcycling merchandise but here, a hurling
:23:19. > :23:24.Jersey from the 1940s, boots and a ball from the 1960s and a stick from
:23:25. > :23:30.the 21st-century. There is a unique hurling exhibition here. Here is the
:23:31. > :23:34.man responsible, Daniel Taylor, celebrating 100 years of hurling
:23:35. > :23:39.history in the locality. How much effort has gone into this? A
:23:40. > :23:44.tremendous amount of effort has gone into it. The public response has
:23:45. > :23:48.been fantastic, the GAA have supported us and we have had is that
:23:49. > :23:57.is from as far away as Toronto, New York and Alabama. Have they a
:23:58. > :24:02.favourite item and have you? I know there are hundreds of items here. A
:24:03. > :24:08.big draw is the Watson's hurling stick from the 2012 championship
:24:09. > :24:14.final. He remains the only man to have scored a hat-trick in an
:24:15. > :24:19.All-Ireland final. Here is a proud man, Harry Connolly, who for 50
:24:20. > :24:24.years was treasurer of the North Antrim County hurling board and he
:24:25. > :24:31.is also deputy mayor of Ballymoney. Is this a proud day? A very proud
:24:32. > :24:37.day to be here and see all the stuff from the local clubs. Ballymoney,
:24:38. > :24:46.Rasharkin, Dunloy, they go on and on, and as Daniel said, they have
:24:47. > :24:50.come from near and far. They have. We were led to believe over 1000
:24:51. > :24:57.people have been here since the exhibition opened in May. That is a
:24:58. > :25:03.proud record. Daniel, I give the final word to you. It runs for a few
:25:04. > :25:07.more weeks and you are still looking for hurling gems. How long have
:25:08. > :25:13.people got to get them in? We have until the 26th of July when the
:25:14. > :25:19.exhibition closes and we are always looking for people to come down and
:25:20. > :25:25.learn about hurling. That is it from this unique hurling exhibition here
:25:26. > :25:34.in Ballymoney. Now time for the weather, and summer return today.
:25:35. > :25:43.Lovely but, be the best day of the next few, so I hope you made the
:25:44. > :25:48.most of it today and it was described as like the Copacabana in
:25:49. > :25:53.Portrush. It may not be like that over the next few days. This cloud
:25:54. > :25:58.moves in from the west that still some brightness on offer for parts
:25:59. > :26:02.of Antrim into County Down, but the cloud rolling in elsewhere and it
:26:03. > :26:09.will thicken up. Tonight that cloud edges in. It will eventually produce
:26:10. > :26:14.rain. You may get the odd moderate burst in the north but for most of
:26:15. > :26:17.us the rain will be light and it is a mild and muggy night with
:26:18. > :26:22.temperatures holding in double figures. Tomorrow is a different
:26:23. > :26:27.note, much cloudier and we get off to a damp start with patches of rain
:26:28. > :26:34.and drizzle breaking out anywhere through the morning. Very great with
:26:35. > :26:38.mist and health fog but as we head to the afternoon a lot of it will
:26:39. > :26:42.fizzle away, just a few pockets remaining. It will also feel muggy
:26:43. > :26:47.with the cloud cover and we might get the odd right spell breaking
:26:48. > :26:53.through, especially in parts of the north and east, but it cannot be
:26:54. > :26:57.guaranteed so we are looking at more cloud than sunshine. It will not be
:26:58. > :27:02.the same sort of evening for eastern areas, may be some cloud around and
:27:03. > :27:07.spots of rain, which will be the case tomorrow night. It will be
:27:08. > :27:12.another mild and muggy night with temperatures in double figures. For
:27:13. > :27:18.Friday, apart from one or two showers we are still holding onto
:27:19. > :27:23.cloudy weather and humidity, with this band of rain towards the west.
:27:24. > :27:27.That moves it away in on Friday night into Saturday and that means
:27:28. > :27:31.outbreaks of showery rain, Sunday is little drier.
