:01:01. > :01:04.a largely dry day night, -- another chilly night to a largely dry day.

:01:05. > :01:34.The details shortly. Well, this police operation happened

:01:35. > :01:40.just after midday today when police stopped a car on this A1 dual

:01:41. > :01:45.carriageway behind me and arrested the 34-year-old man from limb vady.

:01:46. > :01:48.He was arrested on suspicious of manslaughter and conspiracy to

:01:49. > :01:54.facilitate the illegal entry of people into the UK. Now, this PSNI

:01:55. > :01:58.operation is linked to an ongoing investigation, following the

:01:59. > :02:05.discovery of 35 men, women and children from Afghanistan. They were

:02:06. > :02:14.found inside a container had been shipped over from did he brewing in

:02:15. > :02:18.Zebrugge in Belgium. A 40-year-old Sikh man died in the container

:02:19. > :02:20.before they were discovered. The surviving victims, including a

:02:21. > :02:25.one-year-old child, have been released into the care of Home

:02:26. > :02:29.Office officials after going through medical checks. I can tell you the

:02:30. > :02:32.Limavady home of the suspect has been searched by police today and

:02:33. > :02:35.that officers from Essex have travelled over to Northern Ireland

:02:36. > :02:43.to take him to England for further questioning.

:02:44. > :02:46.That arrest comes as two men appeared in court on

:02:47. > :02:49.The men - both originally from Romania - were arrested during

:02:50. > :02:51.a police investigation into labour exploitation in County Armagh.

:02:52. > :02:56.Eunan McConville was at the Magistrates' Court.

:02:57. > :03:03.The two accused are Ioan Lacatus, 31 and with an arrest at Hanover Street

:03:04. > :03:08.in Portadown and 238-year-old, Samuil Covaci, with an address at

:03:09. > :03:14.Charles Street, also in Portadown. -- 23-year-old. Altogether the men

:03:15. > :03:17.face more than 50 charges. Each one faces 12 charges of trafficking

:03:18. > :03:25.people, 12 charges of forced labour and each faces a charge of being an

:03:26. > :03:29.unlicensed gang master. Ioan Lacatus faces a further charge of money

:03:30. > :03:33.laundering. It is understood the charges relate at police services at

:03:34. > :03:37.two buildings in County Armagh. At least 20 potential victims of human

:03:38. > :03:41.trafficking were rescued. The victims, all Romanian, include men

:03:42. > :03:45.and women, between the ages of 20 and 48.

:03:46. > :03:49.The court hearing was held up temporarily because of an issue over

:03:50. > :03:51.a Romanian translator. During the brief proceedings, a Detective

:03:52. > :03:56.Constable told the court that he believed he could connect both men

:03:57. > :04:00.to the charges. The policeman also confirmed that the court that the

:04:01. > :04:05.police investigation was still ongoing.

:04:06. > :04:05.A lawyer for Mr Lacatus asked the Detective Constable

:04:06. > :04:07.A lawyer for Mr Lacatus asked the Detective if his client had given

:04:08. > :04:09.the police other Detective if his client had given

:04:10. > :04:13.the lines of inquiry which could point away from his guilt. The

:04:14. > :04:19.police officer told the court that the defendant in question had made

:04:20. > :04:23.certain allegations to the police. At one point, Ioan Lacatus rose to

:04:24. > :04:27.tell the court, through the translator, that he and his Co

:04:28. > :04:33.accused denied all the charges that were being put before them. Both men

:04:34. > :04:36.were remanded in custody and will appear later in the month via

:04:37. > :04:41.videolink. Bank of Scotland has been heavily

:04:42. > :04:44.criticised by a High Court judge for wrongly double-billing

:04:45. > :04:46.customers here who had fallen behind The bank is a major mortgage

:04:47. > :04:52.lender through the Halifax brand. The judge said it was impossible to

:04:53. > :05:04.know how many borrowers have been "plunged into depression"

:05:05. > :05:06.as a result of its behaviour. Our Economics and Business

:05:07. > :05:12.Editor, John Campbell, is here. What is this about? About people who

:05:13. > :05:15.got into trouble with nights and how the bank treated them and looking at

:05:16. > :05:20.a process known as "arrears capitalisation." What is that? It is

:05:21. > :05:23.about the fact when you get into trouble and you stop paying, the

:05:24. > :05:26.bank can take missed payments and any other fines or charges that

:05:27. > :05:29.applies to you and roll them into your original mortgage debt. It

:05:30. > :05:32.means you have a bigger monthly payment. It may seem slightly

:05:33. > :05:36.counterintuitive that somebody in trouble with their mortgage faces a

:05:37. > :05:38.bigger payment but what can often happen is people get into temporary

:05:39. > :05:45.financial trouble. They miss payments and this is a way for them

:05:46. > :05:48.to get out of problem. But thing to understand about arrears

:05:49. > :05:52.capitalisation, is once it happens, it means you are no longer in

:05:53. > :05:56.arrears, you are back in the bank's good book and the bank can't come

:05:57. > :06:00.after you and take your house off you. So it is a way of solving the

:06:01. > :06:05.problem. That didn't happen. No, in effect Bank of Scotland abused this

:06:06. > :06:09.process. They did not pay fair. The capitalised the arrears, meaning

:06:10. > :06:12.people faced that increased monthly repayment but at the same time they

:06:13. > :06:16.were telling the borrowers -- listen, you have a lump sum of

:06:17. > :06:22.arrears, you owe us that money, you need to pay it to us urgently. If

:06:23. > :06:26.you don't, we will take you to court to try to take your house off you.

:06:27. > :06:30.The judge was scathing about this conduct. What did he say? One of the

:06:31. > :06:35.strongest verdicts I have seen from a judge in a long time, he said what

:06:36. > :06:39.the bank was doing was having its cake and eating T he said, "There

:06:40. > :06:43.may not be any fraud involved but he would not regard this as fair

:06:44. > :06:46.accounting." "He went on to look at the personal impact on bankers. He

:06:47. > :06:52.said "It was sadly impossible to know how many borrowers that been

:06:53. > :06:55.plunged into depression" as a result of this practice. How many people

:06:56. > :06:59.could it affect? Case initially involves three people. It was a test

:07:00. > :07:03.case taking by the Housing Rights Service. But they have said it could

:07:04. > :07:06.go much wider than that. In Northern Ireland there are hundreds and

:07:07. > :07:09.thousands of customers impacted. We are unsure of the impact in the UK.

:07:10. > :07:13.It is likely it is an accounting practice that affects Northern

:07:14. > :07:18.Ireland, England and Wales but we are unsure. Ultimately all the

:07:19. > :07:21.borrowers affected could maybe get compensation but it is likely that

:07:22. > :07:23.perhaps the bank will appeal the decision. This story still has a

:07:24. > :07:26.long way to go. Still plenty to come on tonight's

:07:27. > :07:29.programme: It may look, feel, even smell like

:07:30. > :07:34.ordinary gel but find out why this new product could take the medical

:07:35. > :07:45.world by storm. Two woman are recovering

:07:46. > :07:48.after their car was hijacked as they visited a grave in West Belfast.

:07:49. > :07:51.Two men stole their vehicle at the City Cemetery just after 3

:07:52. > :07:56.O'Clock yesterday afternoon. Claire Savage reports.

:07:57. > :08:04.The women helicopter been visiting this part of the City Cemetery, a

:08:05. > :08:08.The women helicopter been visiting to them and assaulted one of the

:08:09. > :08:11.women, who is in her 6 #0s. The second woman, in her 70s, wasn't

:08:12. > :08:14.hurt but was left badly shaken. Two men then hijacked the woman's blue

:08:15. > :08:19.car and drove off. They took the stolen car and drove it around West

:08:20. > :08:24.Belfast for at least five, before it was later found burnt out in Turf

:08:25. > :08:29.Lodge. One local councillor says he doesn't want it to deter people from

:08:30. > :08:31.visiting the graveyard. I'm really, really angry this has happened in

:08:32. > :08:35.our community. And our community in this area are really angry as well

:08:36. > :08:38.this has happened. Once again the name of our community has been

:08:39. > :08:44.blighted by two, I wouldn't describe them as men. Two cowards who

:08:45. > :08:47.attacked two vulnerable women in a cemetery yesterday afternoon and

:08:48. > :08:52.took their car. The men are described as being between 18-20 and

:08:53. > :08:57.being more than 5'10". One, with slim build, dark hair and stubble.

:08:58. > :09:01.He was wearing a blue-hooded jacket and grey tracksuit bottoms. The

:09:02. > :09:05.second of medium build. He was wearing a black hooded jacket.

:09:06. > :09:11.Police are appealing with anyone for any information to contact them.

:09:12. > :09:13.Politicians have been paying tribute to the former

:09:14. > :09:16.Environment Minister Sam Foster, who has died at the age of 82.

:09:17. > :09:22.A former major in the Ulster Defence Regiment, Mr Foster held senior

:09:23. > :09:32.Here's our Political Editor, Mark Devenport.

:09:33. > :09:40.opinions, Sam Foster has been described as a man of courtesy and

:09:41. > :09:45.integrity. In 1987 he was on the scene of the IRA's Enniskillen

:09:46. > :09:48.Remembrance Day bombing. he helped to pick survivors out of the rubble

:09:49. > :09:54.and I have to say, it had a huge influence on. A huge impact. I think

:09:55. > :09:59.it drove him towards finding a peaceful resolution to Northern

:10:00. > :10:03.Ireland. 25 years later, he gave a scripture reading at a memorial

:10:04. > :10:11.service. God is our refuge and strength. A very present help in

:10:12. > :10:16.trouble. As chair as that hotel chair of the Fermanagh council he

:10:17. > :10:22.welcomed John Bruton. Even visited Bob at's Black Mountain with Sinn

:10:23. > :10:26.Fein's Gerry Adams. He suffered from Parkinson's disease and retired from

:10:27. > :10:31.the assembly in 2003. He retained a keen interest in current affairs,

:10:32. > :10:38.welcoming the G8 summit when world leaders visited Hezbollah that

:10:39. > :10:46.Fermanagh. I'm from Fermanagh. I think it is great for the council.

:10:47. > :10:50.Arlene Foster married his nephew and the DUP minister said it is no

:10:51. > :10:54.secret that she did not always agree with him on politics. But she

:10:55. > :10:55.respected and admired his style. She and her family will remember him as

:10:56. > :10:59.a dear uncle. A mining company searching

:11:00. > :11:01.for gold in the hills of County The Canadian firm,

:11:02. > :11:06.Dalradian Resources, controls the mineral rights to

:11:07. > :11:09.a gold deposit near the village of Gortin, where it hopes to open

:11:10. > :11:12.Northern Ireland's first underground Here's our south-west

:11:13. > :11:27.reporter Julian Fowler. People have panned for gold in this

:11:28. > :11:31.area for centuries. They have at a dream of finding a fortune. For the

:11:32. > :11:38.last four years, Dalradian Resources has been collecting rock samples but

:11:39. > :11:43.it has discovered gold deposits seven times bigger than originally

:11:44. > :11:47.thought. the sparkle you can see is actually for's gold. But hidden

:11:48. > :11:51.inside a sample is some of the highest quality gold deposits to be

:11:52. > :11:56.found anywhere. Through our work we have shown that it is in the top ten

:11:57. > :11:59.of undeveloped gold deposits in the world. It has been independently

:12:00. > :12:03.verified. We haven't found the ends of the depth of it yet. We have

:12:04. > :12:07.drilled down as far as 1.2 kilometres as the lots found at the

:12:08. > :12:12.bottom up. What we have shown our crude economic studies is that there

:12:13. > :12:18.are hundred and 45,000 ounces a year and that is just the tip of the

:12:19. > :12:22.iceberg. Dalradian Resources has already invested ?35 million in the

:12:23. > :12:27.project and the potential rewards are huge. At current prices, and

:12:28. > :12:31.after mining costs, Dalradian Resources could make ?43 million per

:12:32. > :12:34.year. The company hopes that in four years time, it's all open Northern

:12:35. > :12:42.Ireland's first underground gold mine, employing 300 people. With the

:12:43. > :12:45.support of invest NI, it is recruiting staff and training local

:12:46. > :12:49.workers. I have been very pleased either about the work ongoing with

:12:50. > :12:53.the Southwest College to develop courses in relation to underground

:12:54. > :12:57.mining and the length that I can link has been made with colleges in

:12:58. > :13:01.Canada. So we're internationalising mining, bringing that expertise here

:13:02. > :13:06.to Northern Ireland. It is something new, but I believe it will help the

:13:07. > :13:10.economy. The company plans to use explosives to extract the gold rich

:13:11. > :13:13.rock. Over the next year and a half it will have the complete

:13:14. > :13:13.environmental impact assessments before mining

:13:14. > :13:19.Have Ulster found a player who can replace

:13:20. > :13:30.Scientists at Queen's University have made a major breakthrough

:13:31. > :13:32.in the fight against a hospital bug that killed

:13:33. > :13:45.The gel, which acts as a barrier to bacteria, will help

:13:46. > :13:48.in the fight against infection in patients and on hospital wards.

:13:49. > :13:50.It's the latest medical development to come from Queens.

:13:51. > :13:52.Our Health Correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly joins us live

:13:53. > :13:57.from the laboratory where the discovery was made.

:13:58. > :14:06.Good evening. This is it. The gel about targets and can kill

:14:07. > :14:13.bacteria, including hospital superbugs. Some deadly infections

:14:14. > :14:17.than no hospital wards wants to tackle. But the discovery of this

:14:18. > :14:22.here at Queen's University in Belfast will help in the fight

:14:23. > :14:27.against that infection. Leading the research is Doctor Gary Laverty. Why

:14:28. > :14:31.should we be so excited about this little bit of liquid? Because we're

:14:32. > :14:36.hoping it will bring real results to patients worldwide. We are hoping

:14:37. > :14:39.that it reduces hospital infection, which it should do because it

:14:40. > :14:42.selectively targets the most resistant superbugs, leaving behind

:14:43. > :14:48.healthy cells. How was it discovered and how long did it take? It was a

:14:49. > :14:53.lot of hard work. It is part of an international collaboration. Queen's

:14:54. > :14:58.have provided a lows of support and funding my research in being able to

:14:59. > :15:03.go to America for three months. It is very exciting and hopefully, in

:15:04. > :15:12.the next few years, we will see a breakthrough in terms of clinical

:15:13. > :15:15.aid to patients. How does it work? it will break down like the

:15:16. > :15:23.jelly-like substance and others -- substances on the surfaces. I was

:15:24. > :15:27.all, really eradicate the bacteria that is present and hopefully, it

:15:28. > :15:31.will lead to gust effective results and value for money for everyone.

:15:32. > :15:35.Recently, we have our breakthroughs in cystic fibrosis, breast

:15:36. > :15:41.cancer... What is it about Queen's's at the moment quest

:15:42. > :15:52.remarked we have a lot of local talent in the UK and in Belfast. The

:15:53. > :15:56.aim for global impact, getting their hammers to the students play in the

:15:57. > :16:01.research? They are very much involved. Pharmacy students are

:16:02. > :16:06.involved in the pharmaceutical industry and it is one of the best

:16:07. > :16:10.industries in Western Europe. They are here and we are here to teach

:16:11. > :16:16.them. Research like this helps. You are now on the international map.

:16:17. > :16:22.And coming up in the weeks and months to, we will hear an awful lot

:16:23. > :16:23.more about prostate cancer and male infertility. That's also come here,

:16:24. > :16:26.at Queen's University. Now, have you done the

:16:27. > :16:28.Ice Bucket Challenge? Well, it's the latest internet craze

:16:29. > :16:31.to raise money for charities. People, from the very famous to

:16:32. > :16:34.the not-so-famous, are queuing up to join in,

:16:35. > :16:58.including many here in Northern Wet, cold and painful, too. But the

:16:59. > :17:01.cause is good. Charity. Like many places, this started in America.

:17:02. > :17:05.Different people doing it in different ways. And where there is a

:17:06. > :17:09.craze, there are celebrities wanting a part of it. Raising the profile

:17:10. > :17:14.and much more money for good causes. It can be quite spectacular,

:17:15. > :17:22.too. It did not take long for this craze to cross the Al Antic. Some

:17:23. > :17:27.here like to keep it simple, but for this recently married couple in

:17:28. > :17:41.Ballymena, a much bigger bucket and a much, much bigger splash. The size

:17:42. > :17:47.of the buckets may vary, but parts of the craze as standard. The water

:17:48. > :17:54.has to be cold, you must get a nomination and there is always an

:17:55. > :17:57.ouch. It was freezing this morning and having the bucket of ice tipped

:17:58. > :18:03.on top of me did not make it easier. But it was fun and for a very good

:18:04. > :18:11.cause. People are getting on cause because they are saving lives. Some

:18:12. > :18:14.people may be forgetting that it is for charity and for a brilliant

:18:15. > :18:19.cause, but everybody is getting on board and it is amazing to see it

:18:20. > :18:22.being so popular. I have been scanning the Internet all day long,

:18:23. > :18:24.time after time looking for a nomination. I have not had a single

:18:25. > :18:28.one. So I'm staying dry. Thomas Niblock is here now with

:18:29. > :18:36.the sport. Rugby first,

:18:37. > :18:38.and today it was announced BBC Sport NI will broadcast most

:18:39. > :18:43.of Ulster Rugby's games live on BBC The four-year deal means

:18:44. > :18:47.the majority of Ulster's Pro 12 games will be on BBC television,

:18:48. > :18:53.until at least 2018. Now, that new rugby season starts

:18:54. > :19:00.in less than a fortnight and it's certainly been a summer of

:19:01. > :19:04.coming and going at Ulster - even Former coach Mark Anscombe has been

:19:05. > :19:11.replaced on a temporary basis by Ireland defence coach Les Kiss

:19:12. > :19:23.in a summer of change. It's all a little different at

:19:24. > :19:26.Ravenhill, or should I say the Kingspan Stadium. The team that's

:19:27. > :19:32.not the new season will be very different from the one finished last

:19:33. > :19:36.year. Players have retired, and Tom Court has moved on to pastures new.

:19:37. > :19:43.He has left some big holes in all still's team. That a lot of

:19:44. > :19:46.experience in the team. A few big-name departures. But, it's a

:19:47. > :19:53.good opportunity for younger lads coming through. We have quite a few

:19:54. > :19:59.new ones coming from the Academy. So the competition is good. It's always

:20:00. > :20:04.a good thing. They push each other hard and they work hard. They are

:20:05. > :20:12.young and enthusiastic. Mark Anscombe has replaced interim coach

:20:13. > :20:28.Les Kiss. I'm impressed with him. He has focused on a lot and is 20 at us

:20:29. > :20:42.to concentrate. -- trying to get those. -- does. Johann Muller

:20:43. > :20:49.retired, replacing him, another Springbok with some big shoes to

:20:50. > :20:53.fill. I do not know Johanna was such a massive, big deal in Belfast when

:20:54. > :21:01.I got here. Everyone has such good things to say about him. Everyone

:21:02. > :21:07.had such good words to say about him go --, so it is a big pressure on my

:21:08. > :21:08.shoulders. Hopefully it will go well. I'm looking for to this week

:21:09. > :21:13.and hopefully it will go well. Now an update on the motorcyclists

:21:14. > :21:15.who were involved in crashes Well, today,

:21:16. > :21:19.two riders have been talking to BBC Newsline about the incident

:21:20. > :21:32.and how it won't stop them racing. For me, when the incident happened

:21:33. > :21:38.the biggest problem was that I knew there were people right behind me.

:21:39. > :21:45.It's a pinball effect. Once it started, it was look. I knew once I

:21:46. > :21:48.had gone down, somebody was right behind me and it was a question if

:21:49. > :21:57.everybody else could stop in time. It could have been a lot worse. We

:25:17. > :25:19.with light winds. Plenty of dry and bright within the forecast and some

:25:20. > :25:23.good spells of sunshine, too. It will be mainly dry, but we can

:25:24. > :25:26.expect a handful of showers. The showers we do see will be well

:25:27. > :25:30.spaced out and not everybody will get one. For some of us, it may be a

:25:31. > :25:45.dry day. Fresh towards the north coast because of the winds, here 13

:25:46. > :25:47.or 14 degrees. As we go through, elsewhere, if you are travelling

:25:48. > :25:50.tomorrow, it is a largely decent day across much of Britain and little

:25:54. > :25:57.and bright with the sunshine coming out and right across Ireland two, we

:25:58. > :26:02.will have plenty of dry weather on offer. For us all, temperatures

:26:03. > :26:05.below average for this time of year. For the second part of the

:26:06. > :26:09.afternoon, for us, if you are out and about watch out for one or two

:26:10. > :26:13.showers. Lots of us will enjoy some defiant dosh rather fine and dry

:26:18. > :26:20.and overnight into Thursday. More cloud around that it will be quite

:26:21. > :26:25.as chilly. Most places should stay in double figures, one or two

:26:26. > :26:27.countryside areas will be one or 2 degrees below that. The unsettled

:26:28. > :26:31.weather will bring with it some spells of rain and some scattered

:26:32. > :26:35.showers. Hopefully, most of that were clear by Thursday evening and

:26:36. > :26:39.will improve after that. Temperatures will struggle on

:26:40. > :26:43.Thursday, 14 or 15 degrees in many places. If you're out and catch that

:26:44. > :26:48.rain, it will feel colder than that, especially if you factor in the
