:01:06. > :01:07.table clash. A witness has told the Inquiry

:01:08. > :01:16.into Historical Institutional Abuse that she cried for weeks

:01:17. > :01:18.after she was told she was being The inquiry, which is being held

:01:19. > :01:23.in Banbridge, has been hearing from witnesses, some of whom were

:01:24. > :01:26.part of the migration scheme without Many were already being abused

:01:27. > :01:45.at institutions in Northern Ireland This was the first time the enquiry

:01:46. > :01:51.heard from witnesses who were shipped off to Australia. 130

:01:52. > :01:57.vulnerable children. Those who did not want to appear submitted

:01:58. > :02:03.statements. Some -- in person, others by video link from

:02:04. > :02:09.Australia. Des McDaid was born in Donegall Street 1953. He was sent to

:02:10. > :02:15.Australia, not knowing where he was going. It was never asked if he

:02:16. > :02:18.wanted to go. He was only eight years old and he arrived in

:02:19. > :02:23.Australia. Giving evidence from Australia, he spoke with confidence.

:02:24. > :02:27.He set his memory was very good. He said he remembered being thrown in

:02:28. > :02:31.the air and that feeling of helplessness when you know you were

:02:32. > :02:35.going to head the ground after being thrown in the air. He said he was

:02:36. > :02:40.abused as some of the Christian Brothers, by some older boys and the

:02:41. > :02:45.late reacher. A similar picture from other witnesses is emerging. One

:02:46. > :02:50.person said he was two years old when he was placed in care after his

:02:51. > :02:54.mother died in childbirth. Separated from his siblings, he did not know

:02:55. > :03:00.somewhere in the same home until years later. One young girl cried

:03:01. > :03:05.for weeks after she was told she was going to Australia. Another told

:03:06. > :03:10.about being shipped against families wishes. Des McDaid spoke of reading

:03:11. > :03:18.his mother after years of trying to track down. Forgive me, forgive me,

:03:19. > :03:20.forgive me his mother said when they met. The enquiry will hear from 50

:03:21. > :03:24.witnesses over a three-week period. A 91-year-old man has died after his

:03:25. > :03:27.neighbour's oil tank went on fire. The blaze broke out

:03:28. > :03:44.at a property off the Hillsborough These pictures taken by neighbours

:03:45. > :03:46.show the full force of the fire this morning. Samuel Carson was a

:03:47. > :03:51.great-grandfather who lived alone, but maintained an act broke in the

:03:52. > :03:55.community. A neighbour of his told me that at one o'clock this morning

:03:56. > :04:00.she heard five small explosions coming from the property. Fire

:04:01. > :04:04.Service responded to a call of an oil tank having caught fire at a

:04:05. > :04:10.nearby house. The fire spread to another oil tank, and that caused

:04:11. > :04:19.Samuel Carson's house to go up in flames. I have spoken to one of his

:04:20. > :04:26.daughters this morning. She was here during the night. There will come a

:04:27. > :04:31.day when he will be taken away from us, but to go in this way, they are

:04:32. > :04:35.just processing, that will be the challenging thing. Friends and

:04:36. > :04:42.neighbours have been quick to pay tribute to him. He was described as

:04:43. > :04:48.a friend to the community. He had lots and lots of friends, people

:04:49. > :04:53.calling them every day to see how he was. Lots of friends. Because of the

:04:54. > :05:03.fire is under investigation. The police said it leave there were any

:05:04. > :05:08.circumstances. -- said they don't believe there were any suspicious

:05:09. > :05:09.circumstances. Eight police officers,

:05:10. > :05:11.including two Inspectors, three Sergeants and three Constables have

:05:12. > :05:13.been disciplined over unacceptable and significant failures

:05:14. > :05:15.in their search for a missing man He later died after walking

:05:16. > :05:24.in front of a train. Jonathan McGee went missing on a

:05:25. > :05:30.Friday and was found dead on the Saturday. The ombudsman's reporting

:05:31. > :05:38.to hide the police handled his case was skipping. His family say it will

:05:39. > :05:43.ring him back. The police should have learnt from their first

:05:44. > :05:48.mistakes that they made, if they did he would still be here. If they had

:05:49. > :05:51.done their job is right. The family of the missing mild had contacted

:05:52. > :05:56.the police days before his death, stressing their concern for his

:05:57. > :06:00.safety because he suffered from depression and had tablets in his

:06:01. > :06:04.possession. The ombudsman pointed up a number of missed opportunities and

:06:05. > :06:13.failure to pass on information about the missing mild. It was a series of

:06:14. > :06:18.incremental failure is. Information was not passed it should've been.

:06:19. > :06:23.There was a failure in communication handling from one officer to

:06:24. > :06:25.another. Steps were not followed through properly. There was a whole

:06:26. > :06:29.series of things that meant the police did not take the act steps

:06:30. > :06:37.they could have done. Jonathan McGee's life ended here at this

:06:38. > :06:39.bridge on the outskirts of Lisbon. The ombudsman hopes that his

:06:40. > :06:47.recommendations will help prevent situations like this arriving again.

:06:48. > :06:48.The Police Ombudsman has ended unprecedented legal action

:06:49. > :06:52.Michael Maguire had taken the PSNI to court after accusing it

:06:53. > :06:54.of obstructing investigations into allegations against police

:06:55. > :06:58.But the police have now agreed to give him access to sensitive

:06:59. > :07:11.Our Home Affairs correspondent, Vincent Kearney, reports.

:07:12. > :07:17.The UDF murders of six Catholics as they watched the World Cup in 20

:07:18. > :07:21.years ago is one of the cases that prompted this legal action. The

:07:22. > :07:26.killers have never been caught. It has been claimed that the police did

:07:27. > :07:30.not conduct a full investigation into the shooting because they were

:07:31. > :07:34.protecting an informer, and that there was collusion between some

:07:35. > :07:40.officers and the killers. Similar claims were made about the police

:07:41. > :07:45.investigation into the murder of officer John Lorimer. He was off

:07:46. > :07:48.duty and working in this ice cream shop in the Lisburn Road when

:07:49. > :07:56.killers struck in 1988. His son, Gavin, has claimed that no one was

:07:57. > :08:00.convicted because at least one IRA informer was involved. The ombudsman

:08:01. > :08:05.accused Matt Baggott of making it impossible for his officers to

:08:06. > :08:08.investigate those claims and other serious allegations of criminal

:08:09. > :08:15.activity and misconduct by police officers. Answering those questions

:08:16. > :08:21.requires access to a range of intelligence. I need access to that

:08:22. > :08:26.to be able to look at those allegations. The ombudsman's office

:08:27. > :08:33.does not investigations by negotiation. When the case went to

:08:34. > :08:38.court in June, the judge urged both sides to come to an agreement to

:08:39. > :08:41.avoid a full hearing. The dispute has now been resolved. In a

:08:42. > :08:46.statement the ombudsman said the police has now accepted that his

:08:47. > :08:51.office has a legal right to seek any material it wishes during an

:08:52. > :08:55.investigation. It said the information the police had refused

:08:56. > :08:57.to give access to has not been made available. The policing board has

:08:58. > :08:59.welcomed the end of the dispute. We're live at Solitude ahead

:09:00. > :09:04.of a full programme of Getting children interested

:09:05. > :09:13.in school can be an uphill struggle for parents and

:09:14. > :09:16.teachers alike, but one community has come up with a new plan to raise

:09:17. > :09:19.standards and encourage learning. There have been many attempts

:09:20. > :09:22.on the Shankill Road in the past, but those behind this scheme hope

:09:23. > :09:25.it will change school life Our education correspondent, Maggie

:09:26. > :09:48.Taggart, has this exclusive report. This family are making schooling at

:09:49. > :09:52.priority for their children and while Clare did a university degree,

:09:53. > :09:57.her husband left school with no exams. I could not wait to get out

:09:58. > :10:02.of secondary school. We went encouraged to do exams or anything

:10:03. > :10:11.then. It was a case that you did your five years and you left. Maybe

:10:12. > :10:15.there are other things that are seen to be more important and education

:10:16. > :10:19.can get moved to the side. Nobody is in any doubt that the problems of

:10:20. > :10:24.the Shankill have been complex and there have been multiple initiatives

:10:25. > :10:30.to try to solve them. This is a 20 year plan, trying to right the

:10:31. > :10:35.wrongs of 40 years of history. Actors spelt out the problems on the

:10:36. > :10:45.Shankill. He does not go to school, he runs around all night long

:10:46. > :10:53.drinking. Are you not going to school? I go to school sometimes.

:10:54. > :10:58.There have been many action plans in the past. Community workers point to

:10:59. > :11:04.22 initiatives in 20 years, but say they were short term and the results

:11:05. > :11:08.are short lived. And you children soon will last for 20 years and the

:11:09. > :11:12.plan is that all government departments and cumulative groups

:11:13. > :11:25.will work together. What it will devise in the context of this zone

:11:26. > :11:31.is that it will provide wraparound support for every child on the

:11:32. > :11:37.Shankill. A former Shankill boy is now a night of the realm and fully

:11:38. > :11:45.backs this zone. We need a framework to pull everything together. One of

:11:46. > :11:50.the difficulties it is that it is like a box of firework is. If you

:11:51. > :11:56.like all of the same time it will be M My children will be well

:11:57. > :12:05.educated. They will be taken to school every morning. The people

:12:06. > :12:12.behind this say they are not asking for money, but for people to pull

:12:13. > :12:13.out all the stops to support this generation long project.

:12:14. > :12:16.The Northern Ireland Audit Office is to investigate what progress has

:12:17. > :12:18.been made implementing the health plan 'Transforming Your Care'.

:12:19. > :12:20.The news emerged following a meeting between auditors

:12:21. > :12:23.and the SDLP's Fearghal McKinney, who has called for greater

:12:24. > :12:25.interrogation of how the Department of Health is spending its budget.

:12:26. > :12:28.There's been much criticism among the health sector that the changes

:12:29. > :12:30.promised under Transforming Your Care have failed to materialise.

:12:31. > :12:33.But now that level of scrutiny has stepped up a gear

:12:34. > :12:35.with the Audit Office confirming it's to scrutinise what progress has

:12:36. > :12:49.been made and what targets, if any, were set to measure performance.

:12:50. > :12:56.For too long we have been asking questions are not getting the proper

:12:57. > :13:02.answers around Transforming Your Care. We have not been able to see

:13:03. > :13:06.targets, implementation plans, no measurement for proper outcomes, yet

:13:07. > :13:11.we or three years into the plan which is meant to take five years.

:13:12. > :13:15.It is costing lots of money. We believe it is leading to the logjams

:13:16. > :13:20.in the health service, which again promotes the health service to spend

:13:21. > :13:21.millions patching up these difficulties.

:13:22. > :13:23.Pastor James McConnell has announced he is stepping down.

:13:24. > :13:25.The cleric, from the Whitewell Metropolitan Tabernacle, caused

:13:26. > :13:27.controversy recently when he called Islam 'heathen' and 'satanic'.

:13:28. > :13:29.Pastor McConnell told his congregation that, after 57

:13:30. > :13:33.years of ministry, he felt the hour had come to hand over the reins.

:13:34. > :13:44.The 77-year-old has recently suffered from ill health.

:13:45. > :13:46.A doctor has appeared in court accused of sexually

:13:47. > :13:49.It's claimed the offences took place at Richhill Health Centre

:13:50. > :13:52.Our reporter Claire Savage was at this morning's hearing at

:13:53. > :14:10.Dr Tony Chee, who lives in Moira, faces seven charges of touching six

:14:11. > :14:15.women in a sexual nature out of Richhill Health Centre over a

:14:16. > :14:20.three-year period. Dr Tony Chee, he is 45, appeared in the dock and

:14:21. > :14:27.spoke to confirm his year of birth and nodded to his show he understood

:14:28. > :14:31.the charges. The investigating officer told the court she believed

:14:32. > :14:37.she could connect Dr Tony Chee to the charges. He was granted bail at

:14:38. > :14:41.?1000 as long as he did not try to contact any of the women making the

:14:42. > :14:47.complaints were treated any female patients. The district judge said Dr

:14:48. > :14:51.Tony Chee was free to leave as long as he obeyed the conditions of his

:14:52. > :14:58.bail. He will appear in court again in six weeks on 14 V berth. -- on

:14:59. > :15:01.the 14th of October. Money for the poorest students

:15:02. > :15:03.in Further Education has been cut The Department of Employment

:15:04. > :15:06.and Learning, which supplies the money, says

:15:07. > :15:08.they've invested in other schemes. But some colleges say they've even

:15:09. > :15:11.had to open food banks for students Joining me now from Foyle is

:15:12. > :15:15.Willie O'Donnell, from the You actually got extra money this

:15:16. > :15:35.year - how does The north-west is a very deprived

:15:36. > :15:42.area. We have students who come here from all parts of the North, and the

:15:43. > :15:48.site. We have a situation where students are in need. Before the

:15:49. > :15:55.cuts, we had a new initiative going, which was a student welfare

:15:56. > :15:58.supply system. This happened through the generosity of staff members who

:15:59. > :16:03.brought in nonperishable foods that we give to the students who were

:16:04. > :16:15.finding things tough. Cuts have happened all over, but we knowledge

:16:16. > :16:20.the fact that we have ?75,000 more this year as regard our hardship

:16:21. > :16:26.front. How many students are you talking about? The demand last term

:16:27. > :16:31.was 25 students who were in need. We have been working on the coal face

:16:32. > :16:38.with the students, able to detect that these students were in need. It

:16:39. > :16:42.wasn't just food, there were other issues, but when talking to them we

:16:43. > :16:48.realised that there was great hardship for them. How do you

:16:49. > :16:51.overcome the cynicism that some people have that students appear to

:16:52. > :16:57.have money for other things, like socialising? I think it is a myth

:16:58. > :17:04.but a lot of people. The college here is a very caring college. The

:17:05. > :17:11.staff here are very generous and students are not always puts in the

:17:12. > :17:13.front light. Things are obscured a little bit when it comes to

:17:14. > :17:19.students. They are in great hardship. The college is a second

:17:20. > :17:24.chance for many students and they come here to grab the opportunity

:17:25. > :17:28.they have given. With the support, particularly of student services, we

:17:29. > :17:34.have a lot of support for the students here. We have put together

:17:35. > :17:38.this initiative, long before the cuts, that would help our students

:17:39. > :17:42.in little ways to survive while they are here in the city and coming to

:17:43. > :17:44.the college. Samuel Beckett is one

:17:45. > :17:46.of our best-known writers. He's celebrated with

:17:47. > :17:48.an annual two-week festival in Enniskillen, but is his work

:17:49. > :17:50.accessible to a younger generation? One woman who thinks it crosses

:17:51. > :17:53.the generations is starring in a trilogy of his plays at the MAC

:17:54. > :17:56.in Belfast this week. 'Not I, Rockabye' and 'Footfalls' is

:17:57. > :17:59.fresh from a run in London's West End and requires its star to undergo

:18:00. > :18:31.quite a transformation to get I first opened up this play and I

:18:32. > :18:36.expected the kind of people who were big fans of Samuel Beckett. It

:18:37. > :18:40.wasn't the case. We were blown away by how young the audiences where,

:18:41. > :18:43.people with no relationship with Samuel Beckett.

:18:44. > :18:45.There's a full programme of Irish Premiership football tonight

:18:46. > :18:52.and Stephen Watson joins us from, arguably, the pick of the games.

:18:53. > :18:54.Here at Solitude, the champions, Cliftonville, take on Linfield.

:18:55. > :18:59.Cliftonville, the league leaders, are just one point ahead.

:19:00. > :19:02.I'm joined by Cliftonville manager Tommy Breslin, whose team has picked

:19:03. > :19:26.We have made a very good start. We are hoping to improve our home

:19:27. > :19:33.form. It should be a good game, there is a big cloud coming. Your

:19:34. > :19:37.star striker has gone to pastures new, but that hasn't affected your

:19:38. > :19:45.goal scoring. Ten goals in four games. Players come and go, that is

:19:46. > :19:55.just the ball. Liam has gone to pastures new. We are delighted for

:19:56. > :19:59.them. The ball goes on. How are you and the players approaching this

:20:00. > :20:04.season knowing you can be the first Cliftonville side ever to wind the

:20:05. > :20:13.league three times in a row? We are not even thinking about that. We

:20:14. > :20:17.will take as many games as we can, C how many we can wind and if we wind

:20:18. > :20:22.the league, we will take that. We are just looking forward to

:20:23. > :20:27.tonight. What do you make of this Linfield teen? New manager, of

:20:28. > :20:37.course. It is strange. David was such an institution but Warren has

:20:38. > :20:43.come in and put his mark on it. Lots of different players, young players.

:20:44. > :20:49.They can do as well as they like, as long as they don't do it tonight!

:20:50. > :20:54.As well as the local football, Northern Ireland start their

:20:55. > :20:55.European Championship campaign, Ulster's rugby players kick

:20:56. > :21:05.off a new season and there's world championship boxing in Belfast.

:21:06. > :21:08.Carl Frampton fights Kiko Martinez for a world title in the

:21:09. > :21:11.BBC Sport has been given special access to Frampton in training,

:21:12. > :21:30.Working hard to join the boxing greats. The title dream that has

:21:31. > :21:35.been Carl Frampton's focus is within his grasp. It is an understatement

:21:36. > :21:40.to say I am looking forward to it. It has been a long time coming, not

:21:41. > :21:48.just the world title but to get it at home. I just need to showcase my

:21:49. > :21:55.talent. I am getting a chance to do it. This fight is going worldwide,

:21:56. > :22:01.if is going to be sure and in China, Brazil, America. The mild with the

:22:02. > :22:06.belt has lost a Carl Frampton once before, but remains dangerous. You

:22:07. > :22:15.always get entertained. He comes at you. He can take a good shot, as

:22:16. > :22:19.well. We work done similar things we did last time. The pressure is on

:22:20. > :22:24.Carl Frampton because he has at home. Everybody is expecting him to

:22:25. > :22:43.knock him out and wind the world title. It is not done yet. If there

:22:44. > :22:48.is anybody who can do it, he can. As a manager, as opposed to being a

:22:49. > :22:52.fighter, I am sitting on the safe side of the ropes, but it is much

:22:53. > :22:57.more nerve wracking. When I was fighting at least they have control

:22:58. > :23:04.of things. As a manager, when you are watching, you don't have the

:23:05. > :23:09.same level of control. It is more nerve wracking. I believe I am a

:23:10. > :23:14.better fighter than when a timber first time. I think he is better as

:23:15. > :23:20.well. I have improved leaps and bounds. I will not make the same

:23:21. > :23:25.mistakes again. It will not be an easy fight, but I will wind. I have

:23:26. > :23:30.that power to take any super-bantamweight in the world

:23:31. > :23:31.hides, but also I have the engine to go 12 rounds. All I will predict is

:23:32. > :23:42.a wind. Rory McIlroy was unable to find his

:23:43. > :23:49.best form in the final round of the Deutschebank Championship near

:23:50. > :23:52.Boston. A final round of 70 left him at 11-under par, which meant he

:23:53. > :23:55.finished in a tie for fifth place overall, four shots behind the

:23:56. > :23:58.winner - Chris Kirk of the United States. McIlroy lies in second place

:23:59. > :24:00.in the Fedex Cup standings. The overall winner in a fortnight's time

:24:01. > :24:06.will win $10 million. McIlroy and Graeme McDowell both

:24:07. > :24:08.automatically qualified for the European Ryder Cup team. Today,

:24:09. > :24:10.captain Paul McGinley revealed the three remaining players to make up
