:00:00. > :00:00.That's all from us. You can watch all of the action
:00:07. > :00:11.A man who was shot in both legs in Londonderry was "shot by
:00:12. > :00:17.The attack was carried out in a playpark in the mainly loyalist
:00:18. > :00:23.The police have described it as horrific and barbaric
:00:24. > :00:34.Here's our North-West reporter, Keiron Tourish.
:00:35. > :00:40.The horror of the playpark shooting. Specialist cleaning equipment from
:00:41. > :00:45.the deer we had to be brought in to remove blood from this mistake in
:00:46. > :00:50.Waterside. Most of the footage graphic to be broadcast. -- is too
:00:51. > :00:53.graphic to be broadcast. A local man who was 32 years
:00:54. > :00:56.of age was shot in both legs just a few feet
:00:57. > :01:09.from this playground around 11:30pm And it is understood he was made his
:01:10. > :01:12.way to his home and was taken to hospital.
:01:13. > :01:16.The DUP say there is speculation that the victim may have been told
:01:17. > :01:18.in advance to turn up to be shot in this punishment-style attack.
:01:19. > :01:21.The party says there can be no justification for it.
:01:22. > :01:23.I think it's disgusting this happened here in a playpark.
:01:24. > :01:27.This area has been relatively quiet over the last year, as has a lot
:01:28. > :01:30.of loyalist areas, and I am really surprised and shocked that this has
:01:31. > :01:32.happened, but to happen in a playpark, where you have children
:01:33. > :01:35.The police say they have interviewed about them in hospital, where he has
:01:36. > :01:36.undergone emergency surgery. The police say they have interviewed
:01:37. > :01:38.about them in hospital, Detectives are keeping an open mind as to the
:01:39. > :01:40.cause of the attack. It's a horrific attack,
:01:41. > :01:42.a beautiful warm evening in Lincoln Courts last night,
:01:43. > :01:45.this man was shot in each leg. Thankfully he is in hospital getting
:01:46. > :01:49.medical treatment, but it was Police have issued an appeal
:01:50. > :01:54.for information. They want to hear
:01:55. > :01:56.from anyone who noticed any suspicious activity or witnessed
:01:57. > :02:01.the shooting to get in touch. DUP Minister Nelson McCausland has
:02:02. > :02:03.rejected a report which found he deliberately misled
:02:04. > :02:06.a Stormont committee. The report by the Social Development
:02:07. > :02:09.committee concluded the Minister had misled members over
:02:10. > :02:13.meetings he had attended. Its investigation followed a
:02:14. > :02:16.BBC Spotlight programme that examined allegations surrounding
:02:17. > :02:19.public housing contracts. Here's our political
:02:20. > :02:32.correspondent Gareth Gordon. The inquiry was launched after this
:02:33. > :02:36.BBC Spotlight programme alleged political interference in the
:02:37. > :02:42.running of the Housing Executive. It considered a meeting Nelson
:02:43. > :02:47.McCausland held in April 2012 to discuss double glazing contracts. He
:02:48. > :02:51.claimed it was with a trade body called the Glass and Glazing
:02:52. > :02:56.Federation, but it was with a company called Turkington Holdings,
:02:57. > :03:01.which has in the past backs the DUP. In the light of evidence to date,
:03:02. > :03:05.and the discovery exercise in my department, I acknowledged I
:03:06. > :03:10.inadvertently misinform the committee in this letter. Let me
:03:11. > :03:18.assure you this was not in any way deliberate. This staff from
:03:19. > :03:22.Turkington Holdings were at the staff -- were at the meeting but I
:03:23. > :03:29.believed they were putting forward the interests of the Federation. But
:03:30. > :03:31.the committee found that attempts the Minister made to remove
:03:32. > :03:36.references to Turkington Holdings from the record were not
:03:37. > :03:41.unintentional. This is the only place on these islands where a
:03:42. > :03:47.minister can face these charges and remain in place. It is a serious
:03:48. > :03:51.conclusion the committee has reached and there are questions that need to
:03:52. > :03:56.be addressed by those remain -- by those named in this report. This DUP
:03:57. > :04:03.committee member claims the inquiry is a witchhunt. I do not believe he
:04:04. > :04:08.has done anything wrong other than hold meetings with a company which
:04:09. > :04:11.is the result of those meetings, he saved millions of pounds for the
:04:12. > :04:17.public purse, which means there is more money for other things like
:04:18. > :04:22.housing, that is not a minister neglecting his duty but a minister
:04:23. > :04:25.doing his duty. This month Mr McCausland wrote the committee
:04:26. > :04:29.claiming the report was flawed and weak in its analysis and statement
:04:30. > :04:34.of the facts, and which therefore it should not be published in its
:04:35. > :04:40.current form. Nelson McCausland was not giving any interview today. This
:04:41. > :04:45.inquiry is far from over. It begins again in September and will also be
:04:46. > :04:48.debated in the Assembly. The committee intends to double the
:04:49. > :04:51.number of evidence sessions in the autumn from one to two a week.
:04:52. > :04:54.The Finance Minister has circulated a paper which proposes millions of
:04:55. > :04:57.pounds in cuts across departments, except health and education.
:04:58. > :05:01.The BBC understands the paper follows intense discussions
:05:02. > :05:04.between the First and Deputy First Minister about how to deal with
:05:05. > :05:09.quarterly spending plans, and tens of millions in financial pressures.
:05:10. > :05:12.Sinn Fein says no deal has yet been agreed.
:05:13. > :05:17.The party also said it had not changed its position that Treasury
:05:18. > :05:21.fines over welfare reform are separate
:05:22. > :05:32.Our political correspondent Martina Purdy has the details.
:05:33. > :05:37.This is a budget paper and it takes unspent funds from the last quarter
:05:38. > :05:41.and their racks them to areas where it is needed, so the will be some
:05:42. > :05:46.good news for departments like the Department of Health, but the
:05:47. > :05:49.downside is that there are huge spending commitments that they do
:05:50. > :05:54.not have the money for, tens of millions of pounds, and the Finance
:05:55. > :06:00.Minister has a headache around welfare reform penalties. They are
:06:01. > :06:03.about ?87 million. Sinn Fein say they have not agreed to welfare cuts
:06:04. > :06:08.and have not agreed these penalties should be part of this round. Other
:06:09. > :06:13.parties say it is acknowledged that the welfare issue will have to be
:06:14. > :06:17.dealt with in the next round, so there is still hope this paper will
:06:18. > :06:19.go forward to an executive meeting early next week.
:06:20. > :06:21.It's been another day of sunshine across Northern Ireland.
:06:22. > :06:23.With temperatures hitting 27 degrees, it was the warmest day
:06:24. > :06:28.BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson has been to the north coast to see how people
:06:29. > :06:43.It's not Spain, it's not Portugal. It's not Brazil, its Northern
:06:44. > :06:48.Ireland. The visitors who came here expecting rain rather than sunshine
:06:49. > :06:54.couldn't quite believe it. It's lovely, really nice. Is it like this
:06:55. > :07:00.all the time here? This is the first time I have been here in ten years
:07:01. > :07:08.were it has been sunny. The weather is not normally like this, in
:07:09. > :07:15.Cyprus. It is cooler here. This is Port Stewart. There are more people
:07:16. > :07:20.around, they come out earlier in the morning and stay out later and it
:07:21. > :07:25.helps ice cream sales a lot, especially takeaway ice creams, so
:07:26. > :07:31.it is good for everyone. I love it but it is a bit too hot when you're
:07:32. > :07:36.working but I am going on holiday on Saturday so I can sunbathe them. It
:07:37. > :07:38.was so hot, no wonder so many people came to Portrush to try to cool
:07:39. > :07:45.down. The water is pretty warm! It came to Portrush to try to cool
:07:46. > :07:50.is not often you can say that about the north coast. When the weather is
:07:51. > :07:57.so good, it is only right you make a song and dance about it, and here I
:07:58. > :08:02.group from Britain's Got Talent performed. It was a spectacular day
:08:03. > :08:06.all over Northern Ireland. Tomorrow could be even hotter. Let's hope
:08:07. > :08:09.that is the case. The Northern Ireland Executive is
:08:10. > :08:12.coming under pressure to make up a shortfall
:08:13. > :08:14.in funding to turn Armagh's historic The jail's conversion
:08:15. > :08:17.will cost ?25 million. But its owner, Armagh Council, is
:08:18. > :08:20.fearful the project could be lost. The private development partner may
:08:21. > :08:23.withdraw his ?11 million because Stormont departments will
:08:24. > :08:37.not pledge more financial help. The reality is, there have been
:08:38. > :08:42.question marks over the business case in the last year and if the
:08:43. > :08:47.business case stacks up, I do not see white e-book cannot support
:08:48. > :08:53.that, but until we see a buyable business case, because questions
:08:54. > :08:55.have been asked by each department, so let see that and we will take it
:08:56. > :08:57.from there. And the excitement has been at fever
:08:58. > :09:00.pitch in Glasgow for the opening The world champion cyclist
:09:01. > :09:03.Martyn Irvine was the flag bearer With a total of 116 athletes
:09:04. > :09:15.from here competing in 14 different sports,
:09:16. > :09:15.it's the biggest team from here ever The action all begins tomorrow,
:09:16. > :09:15.and Northern Ireland has a lot of competitors to look out for
:09:16. > :09:19.on day one. Could we get among the medals
:09:20. > :09:22.and get off to a winning start in Glasgow?
:09:23. > :09:38.Nial Foster looks ahead now. Done. Ray. Me. This team hope to
:09:39. > :09:43.scale the heights tomorrow as they start Northern Ireland's quest for
:09:44. > :09:48.silverware in Glasgow at the lawn bowls centre just hours after the
:09:49. > :09:53.opening ceremony initials. In the Strathclyde country Park,
:09:54. > :09:57.Londonderry to athlete Aileen Reid will find out if the long hours in
:09:58. > :10:06.the C and road will pave the way for a medal. I know I can perform well
:10:07. > :10:12.when I am at my best, so it is just about pressure from outside to do
:10:13. > :10:17.well, I just do the best I can do. Sticking with the water, the charge
:10:18. > :10:21.for glory is in the pool as the swimming gets under way and for the
:10:22. > :10:31.first time Northern Ireland will be presented in netball. The ladies
:10:32. > :10:37.face Malawi. Now, let's find out what the weather has in store for
:10:38. > :10:40.us. It has been a scorcher of a day, the hottest day of the year so far,
:10:41. > :10:45.and this will continue until the other week. It will freshen up over
:10:46. > :10:50.the weekend and that will mean cooler nights. Tonight the heat is
:10:51. > :10:54.not going anywhere, warm and muggy, dry for much of the night but a
:10:55. > :10:58.little cloud bringing spots of rain towards the end of the night. There
:10:59. > :11:02.may be Mr Unionists along parts of the east coast tomorrow but we are
:11:03. > :11:08.expecting a good deal of hot and sunny weather. To begin with, one or
:11:09. > :11:12.two genres in the west, otherwise increasing sunshine from the east of
:11:13. > :11:16.the day goes on. Any mistiness across the Irish Sea Kosher does
:11:17. > :11:20.appear that it will stay misty and foggy in parts of north-east
:11:21. > :11:26.Scotland. There will also be showers in parts of Mayo, Sligo, Donegal,
:11:27. > :11:29.and a few over south-west England but most places will have fine
:11:30. > :11:35.weather, temperatures in the mid to high 20s. Temperatures in Northern
:11:36. > :11:41.Ireland easily reached 24 degrees, hats in the north-west, and that may
:11:42. > :11:45.spark off one or two thundery showers towards the end of the day.
:11:46. > :11:50.For Friday, not much change, cooler towards the east coast, but
:11:51. > :11:55.otherwise lots of sunshine, very warm and the risk of one or two
:11:56. > :12:01.showers late in the day. On Saturday, a change of wind direction
:12:02. > :12:02.so it will turn fresher. There will be showers around but still
