Claire Savage's report Leaving the court yesterday, Andrew | :00:18. | :00:35. | |
Richard Stewart from Wellington Park in Moira. He had lied about his | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
involvement and denied setting fire to the family pet. This is Cody. On | :00:40. | :00:47. | |
a Sunday morning in 2012 the family noticed she was missing. She arrived | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
at the door 60 minutes later, her skin badly burned. She had to be put | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
to sleep. The acne family subsequently raised ?30,000 for | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
animal charities and mounted a campaign to find he ever set fire to | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
a 3 -year-old border collie. Today, Andrew Richard Stewart pleaded | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
guilty. A prosecution barrister told the court that he accepted that he | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
acted alone and that he stepped Cody alive in the quarry. It is | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
horrendous, the effect it has had my children, let alone the dog. They | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
have had to have counselling. It has been hard to come to terms with. It | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
is hard to try and explain it to the children when we don't understand | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
ourselves. Also in the dock was Jamie Downey, from Chestnut Hill | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
Avenue in Moira. He did not want to be captured on camera this | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
afternoon. The court heard that he made up a story about his movements | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
on the day in question. The judge said that Andrew Richard Stewart was | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
facing an inevitable prison sentence. Both men were released on | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
bail and are due to be sentenced on the 7th of October. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
A fire in which a man died in County Down this week is now being | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
The police are questioning a 57-year-old woman on suspicion | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
of the manslaughter of 91-year-old Sam Carson in Carryduff. | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
Fire crews were called to deal with the blaze at Thorndale Park | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
It's thought it began at another property and burning oil | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
from a ruptured tank then started a fire at Mr Carson's house. | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
Detectives say they arrested the woman | :02:30. | :02:30. | |
A retired company director has told the Historical Institutional Abuse | :02:31. | :02:45. | |
Inquiry that he became a teenage prostitute in Australia after | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
suffering physical and sexual abuse at a Church of Ireland children's | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
He was among a group of boys shipped abroad as part | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
of a Child Migrant Scheme in the middle of the last century. | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
The child migrants leaving Northern Ireland did not know at the time | :02:57. | :03:13. | |
that happiness and laughter would not last. The them on the other side | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
of the voyage was pain, heartbreak and separation. This morning and | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
another of the child immigrants appeared before the enquiry on the | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
video link from Australia. He said the abuse began before he left | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
Northern Ireland is at a Church of Ireland house in Lisbon. He suffered | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
further abuse in Australia at a farm run by the Presbyterian Church. He | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
told the enquiry he was beaten, sexually abused and treated, in his | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
own words, treated as a retard in the homes. He said he would like to | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
see a monument erected in the middle of Belfast to remind people about | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
what happened to him and people like him. Another former child resident | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
at the Church of Ireland home in Lisbon also called the enquiry he | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
was abused there. The man said that during the day he was tied to a rope | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
which is weighed down with a brick and at night he was tied to his bed | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
to stop him from running away. The first week of evidence from the | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
child migrants has ended. A week in which many painful memories of the | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
past were recalled, including this memory from one witness. I retain | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
this memory still being pulled from the arms of her mother as a baby. | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
The Environment Minister, Mark Durkan, has given the go-ahead | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
to a long-delayed planning framework for Greater Belfast. | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
The Belfast Metropolitan Area Plan identifies zones for retail, | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
residential or commercial development. | :04:40. | :04:40. | |
The DUP's Edwin Poots says he's shocked by the decision. | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
He claims it's a matter for the whole Executive. | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
But Mr Durkan says he can no longer hold back planning in the | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
The plan has been through a long and arduous process. It received its | :04:52. | :05:07. | |
certificate of general conformity in October of last year and since the | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
turn of this year I have rotted to the executive repeatedly seeking | :05:12. | :05:23. | |
agreement and approval. I have a responsibility as the minister, but | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
they also have have a responsibility to my executive powers and function. | :05:30. | :05:30. | |
There will be more on that story on Good Morning Ulster tomorrow | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
A former patient has told a Human Rights Inquiry into emergency care | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
that she thought she was going to be left to die after being transferred | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
The inquiry, the first of its kind, is investigating | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
whether a patient's right to health was violated as a result of how | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
Deidre has various health complications and earlier this year | :05:48. | :06:01. | |
was a patient in the Royal Victoria and city hospitals. I was taken and | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
dumped at the City Hospital. I am convinced that I was being moved to | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
the City Hospital to die. Because I would have been in their figures for | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
old people who died. It is stories like this that are being heard at | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
the human rights enquiry into emergency health care. It is not | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
just patients giving evidence. The enquiry is hearing from those in | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
charge as well. You hear heartbreak and personal stories from those who | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
have been let down by our health service. For the first time not only | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
here but in the world the enquiry is trying to establish whether a | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
patient's right to health was violated as a result of the type of | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
care they got in an emergency Department. It will be a report that | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
will be drawn to the attention of the United Nations and we hope that | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
a combination of including people, transparent process. Speaking | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
directly to the Chief Medical Officer, Professor Hunt drew his | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
attention to some of the recommendations. He said that staff | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
should be included in any fraud planning and that the importance of | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
protecting patient dignity. This enquiry is designed to give patients | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
a voice and according to Deidre, that is significant. | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
The Chief Constable has warned that the ability of the PSNI to do its | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
job will suffer because of budget cuts of up to ?80 million this year. | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
George Hamilton told the Policing Board that could mean reducing | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
the amount of resources used to investigate the past to concentrate | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
The total reduction in the police budget in this year compared to last | :07:40. | :07:54. | |
year is going to be at best 73 million pounds. And it could rise on | :07:55. | :08:04. | |
the basis of the projections up towards ?88 million. It is a huge | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
amount of money. Many parents will be interested | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
in a story we'll be covering on tomorrow's BBC Newsline and | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
on Radio Ulster. Here's our education correspondent, | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
Maggie Taggart. To pay or not to pay? With so many | :08:15. | :08:24. | |
schools asking pupils to use computer tablets, we ask who should | :08:25. | :08:24. | |
fit the bill. That's coming up on BBC Newsline | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
tomorrow evening at 6.30pm. It has been mainly dry day. | :08:28. | :08:49. | |
Temperatures overnight will stick at about 14 degrees overnight tonight. | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
Tomorrow will start cloudy with some dampness around. It will improve by | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
the end of the day. So, cloudy start, but this band of rain will | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
come in from the north-west. Not a lot of room to worry about. That | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
band of rain will be stretching into parts of the Republican into | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
Scotland, as well. So tough that it will be drier and brighter with | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
spells of sunshine. For the south-east of Ireland plenty of | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
sunshine before the weather front since its way southwards. | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
Temperatures will be down on tomorrow as we have a northerly | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
wind. Towards the north coast, 1415 degrees will be the highs, 16 or 17 | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
further south. The wet weather will clear the south-east coast and once | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
that happens it will brighten up nicely with sunshine tomorrow | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
evening to end the day. The weekend is shaping up to be pretty decent. | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
It will feel cooler and fresher with the northerly winds. At least it is | :09:47. | :09:56. | |
dry. The good news is looking ahead to Sunday and Monday, the high | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
pressure remained in control so a lot of dry unsettled weather to | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
come. You can keep up to date with | :10:02. | :10:02. | |
