:00:37. > :00:42.They are being questioned at Antrim were rescued at various stages since
:00:43. > :00:47.last Wednesday at two separate locations in County Armagh. Details
:00:48. > :00:51.about this operation are still a bit sketchy. However the PSNI have
:00:52. > :00:57.confirmed that detectives from the Organised Crime Branch have been
:00:58. > :01:00.liaising with the gangmasters' lance licencing Authority in an ongoing

:01:11. > :01:14.Additional translators have been flown to Northern Ireland from
:01:15. > :01:16.England to cope with the number of victims involved and the volume of
:01:17. > :01:21.information which needs to be processed. The three men were
:01:22. > :01:24.arrested in counties Armagh and Antrim. Two properties were searched
:01:25. > :01:29.and three vehicles were seized during this operation. The men are
:01:30. > :01:31.being questioned about suspected human trafficking, forced labour,

:01:55. > :01:56.for natural beauty and tranquillity but there were different scenes
:01:57. > :02:01.following yesterday's tragic accident. John McCourt from Antrim
:02:02. > :02:06.fell from rocks, after he lost his footing while taking photographs. He
:02:07. > :02:09.then became trapped in a gully at the bottom. The tragedy happened
:02:10. > :02:15.close to the lighthouse here. An emergency call was put into the
:02:16. > :02:18.coastguard and lifeboat xruls deployed to the scene. But weather
:02:19. > :02:23.conditions were stormy, making it difficult for those involved in the
:02:24. > :02:29.rescue operation. I waded into it up until my waist and climbed over the
:02:30. > :02:34.rocks. It was like a washing me. Big swells coming N it was difficult to
:02:35. > :02:39.spot the casualty in the water. It was white and foamy. He was going
:02:40. > :02:43.under the water and bob back up. So it was difficult to spot him.
:02:44. > :02:48.Attempts were made to revive the 59-year-old when he was pulled out
:02:49. > :02:51.of the sea but he died after being aircrafted to LetterKenny General
:02:52. > :02:55.Hospital. Those who knew him have been paying tribute. I'm absolutely
:02:56. > :03:00.shocked. I couldn't believe, you know, that this at happened to one
:03:01. > :03:09.of our club members. It is something that we hear, these accidents
:03:10. > :03:18.happen, but for it to happen close to home, not in my experience. So
:03:19. > :03:24.far this year, Loughswi will, will, y lifeboat has dealt with 22
:03:25. > :03:30.callouts and there is clear advice for visitors this summer --
:03:31. > :03:35.Loughswilly. Be aware of the head lands and look after themselves and
:03:36. > :03:40.be cautious between dealing with the sea in particular, during storms T

:03:46. > :03:50.As people are advised to be aware of their surround whilst visiting the
:03:51. > :03:52.area, some way the beauty of this rugged coastline is at odds with
:03:53. > :04:06.this recent tragedy. The funeral has taken place
:04:07. > :04:09.of the rally driver who was killed in a crash while taking part

:04:18. > :04:19.in the Irish Republic is setting up a review
:04:20. > :04:22.into the care provided to a woman at the centre of a controversy over the
:04:23. > :04:25.decision to refuse her an abortion. The woman, who says she was raped
:04:26. > :04:28.and was judged to be suicidal, had her request for an abortion refused
:04:29. > :04:31.by a panel of medical experts. She went
:04:32. > :04:33.on to have her baby delivered Our Dublin correspondent,
:04:34. > :04:51.Shane Harrison, has more. The woman first asked for an
:04:52. > :04:55.abortion at eight weeks. There are restrictions in reporting this. So
:04:56. > :04:58.it is unclear what was involved in the delay. Pro-who have choice
:04:59. > :05:03.campaigners say it is another example of a vulnerable woman having
:05:04. > :05:06.her rights trotted on. The National Council of Women say no civilised
:05:07. > :05:13.society can stand over a law in which a woman loses all bodily
:05:14. > :05:16.freedom once she gets pregnant. On the other hand the prolife
:05:17. > :05:20.campaigners and the Catholic bishops say they are delighted the mother
:05:21. > :05:24.and bibe survived. They owe supposed the Government's legislation saying
:05:25. > :05:28.a termination is never a treatment for suicidal feelings and for them,
:05:29. > :05:32.in any pregnancy, the mother and unborn have equal rights to life.
:05:33. > :05:35.A war memorial in Glenavy in County Antrim has been daubed with

:07:14. > :07:18.specialising in e-mail skumplt the next step was getting it to increase
:07:19. > :07:22.its workforce. It was relatively from one point of view in that they
:07:23. > :07:27.had acquired a company and had knowledge of what was available in
:07:28. > :07:32.Northern Ireland but it was relatively difficult to get them to
:07:33. > :07:36.commit to over 100 people being involved in Northern Ireland. IT is
