The BBC has learned that a man charged with a number | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
of sexual assaults at a County Armagh medical practice is a GP. | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
The charges stretch over a number of years. | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
Here's our reporter in the South East Gordon Adair. | :00:17. | :00:39. | |
The man at the centre of these is a doctor who worked here at this | :00:40. | :01:02. | |
health centre for several years, until 2011 when the practice severed | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
its ties with him. More recently, he has been working in Portadown. | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
Police say he has been charged with sexual assault, following a number | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
of complaints. The alleged incidents all happened here, in the health | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
centre, between 2009 at 2011, as is normal practice. A file has now been | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
prepared and sent to the Public prosecution service. The doctor will | :01:18. | :01:26. | |
appear as a court our marquee next month. Police say this is an ongoing | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
enquiry. They want anyone who has relevant information to come forward | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
and contact detectives using the nonemergency 101 number. | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
A 21-year-old Dungannon woman jailed for drug smuggling in Peru is to | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
serve the rest of her sentence at Hydebank Wood prison in Belfast. | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
Mikayla McCollum and her Scottish friend were jailed | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
for six years after cocaine was found in their luggage. | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
The transfer should take place within months. | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
Last year, these women, aged 20, were arrested at Lima airport. | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
Peruvian police said they were carrying 11 kilograms of cocaine, | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
his and in food packets, with ?1.5 million. Initially, they said they | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
had been coerced by an armed gang. At their trial in December, the | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
women pleaded guilty to drug smuggling offences under the given | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
reduced sentences of six years and eight months in prison. They were | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
later moved to this prison, where European prisoners are often kept | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
and where they complained of unsafe conditions. Melissa Reid has applied | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
to be transferred to a jail in Scotland. The Kayla McCullen had | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
been travelling on an Irish passport and now the Irish Department of | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
foreign affairs says the Peruvian authorities have approved her | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
transfer to Northern Ireland. Some paperwork and protocols have yet to | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
be completed in the UK. She's most likely to be moved to this prison | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
south Belfast. She has been in custody in Peru for a year since her | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
initial arrest. The process of PIP bringing her back here to complete | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
his sentence could still take several months. | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
Ards Borough Council has accepted an offer of close to one million | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
pounds from the Executive to keep open and redevelop the | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
The facility has had serious financial problems | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
Approval will also be needed from the new North Down and Ards District | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
This evening's meeting also agreed that a specialist contractor should | :03:11. | :03:21. | |
be appointed to help rejuvenate the aquarium. | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
Several hundred people have been taking part | :03:25. | :03:25. | |
in an inter-denominational peace vigil at Belfast City Hall. | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
Representatives from all religions prayed for peace in the middle | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
The rally, which was attended by councillors | :03:31. | :03:40. | |
from across the political divide was organised by the Lord Mayor. | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
I am very pleased with the turnout and the way the event went. It was | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
very dignified and inclusive. This was about giving space and | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
opportunity for people to come together, to stand in solidarity | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
with all those who are suffering and pray for peace. We know from our own | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
past the importance of peace vigils and that they are a good way of | :04:05. | :04:05. | |
bringing people together. Angry and deeply frustrated, | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
that's how an MLA is describing people who were affected | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
by flash flooding in Counties Tyrone It's claimed there was a lack | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
of emergency co-ordination between the Roads Service, Rivers Agency and | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
NI Water when water levels rose. The heavy and thundery downpours | :04:17. | :04:40. | |
moved north during Tuesday evening. So much rain fell in such a small | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
amount of time, the drains were overwhelmed and roads, homes and | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
businesses felt the full force of nature. | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
businesses felt the full force of not seen before. It stopped after | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
three quarters of an hour for 15 minutes. Then there was another | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
downpour which lasted for half an hour. The emergency services were | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
called. Up to half a metre or 18 inches fell in some places. Sandbags | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
were given out but for some it was too late. I looked out and started | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
to panic. I thought, not again. The water was coming at us nonstop. Como | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
was one of the first to see the flooding. -- Omagh. The Fire Service | :05:29. | :05:40. | |
rescue to women. There was no road service presence here, no NI water | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
presence. There was no reason for all those agencies not being here | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
last night. The Fire Service themselves immediately reported it | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
and it was for those agencies to follow up on that. All three said | :05:55. | :06:05. | |
they did respond to calls. The Rivers agency says staff checked | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
critical infrastructure last night and will continue to do so. | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
Homeowners also fought a battle with the elements in this town, with the | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
emergency services working at the scene. As the thunderstorms rumbled | :06:19. | :06:27. | |
through the north in the Donegal, they caused the closure for several | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
hours of this hospital's accident and emergency department has water | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
swamped the grounds. The hospital had only just fully returned to | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
normal after severe flooding destroyed 40% of the building in | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
July last year. Today, as the cleanable oration got underway, the | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
Department of the Environment announced that it will provide ?1000 | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
compensation for victims of the floods. Those affected should | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
contact their local council for details. | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
Cuts in the Stormont budget could mean street lights go out | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
The warning comes from Roads Minister Danny Kennedy whose | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
department is facing cuts of ?15 million. | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
Mr Kennedy also denied claims from other political parties that | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
he's exaggerating the extent of the problem. | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
There is the unfortunate prospect that flights will not be repaired as | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
quickly. There is the prospect that grass cutting will be impacted upon. | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
Of environmental services such as emptying the girlies will be | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
impacted upon. The owner of a accused | :07:35. | :07:49. | |
of receiving over payments from the Housing Executive, has said his firm | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
has been exonerated after it emerged Dixons was one of four contractors | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
the housing minister Nelson McCausland said had benefited | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
from overpayments amounting to It has since emerged the company | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
was underpaid and will receive 470 company the saddest thing is we had | :08:00. | :08:08. | |
to lay off a lot of men last year. Hello, good evening. Thankfully, | :08:09. | :08:28. | |
tonight is warning free and it is looking a lot drier. Also, cool and | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
fresh compared to recent nights. Temperatures could well dip into | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
single figures in one or two spots. Temperatures could well dip into | :08:37. | :08:48. | |
single figures in one There may even be a few pockets of Mr Fogg, given | :08:49. | :09:19. | |
the ground is quite wet in places. That should disappear quite quickly. | :09:20. | :09:27. | |
It will be a bright morning tomorrow. They will be a few showers | :09:28. | :09:28. | |
around but most of them will come tomorrow afternoon and they will be | :09:29. | :09:28. | |
lighter compared to recent days. I feel quite sunny with a lovely start | :09:29. | :09:29. | |
to the day. The money will bring the best of the bright weather. It | :09:30. | :09:30. | |
should stay dry across Northern Ireland until lunch time. High | :09:31. | :09:30. | |
pressures dominating the weather across most of Britain and Ireland | :09:31. | :09:31. | |
which means a lot fine weather. In Scotland, temperatures in the high | :09:32. | :09:31. | |
teens. A handful of showers will pop up across the Republic of Ireland | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
tomorrow afternoon and there will be a few showers moving across Northern | :09:35. | :09:35. | |
Ireland tomorrow afternoon as well. But still quite a lot of triad | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
bright weather. And most of the showers will be on the short lived | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
side. Friday will be a fairly wet day. Not quite as warm either, due | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
to there being less in the way of sunshine. Come the weekend, we will | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
still see some sunshine at times but still the risk of some heavy showers | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
with thunderstorms possible and perhaps some local disruption. | :09:55. | :09:56. |
