:00:23. > :00:25.The family of an Armagh man who died after routine surgery at Craigavon

:00:26. > :00:30.hospital says his care was sub standard.

:00:31. > :00:36.As a mother, I have lost four of my greatest gifts. It has been so long

:00:37. > :00:41.since I heard him call my name. As Scotland decides,

:00:42. > :00:43.I'll have the latest from the A man who claims he accidentally

:00:44. > :00:47.killed his ex-girlfriend is described in court as a violent

:00:48. > :00:58.madman on the day of the shooting. In just two weeks time, car tax

:00:59. > :01:05.discs are going to be phased out. One

:01:06. > :01:06.of Belfast's best known landmarks is set for a major expansion to get

:01:07. > :01:09.more conference business. Join me later at the

:01:10. > :01:21.Waterfront Hall. Tonight, I go head-to-head with the

:01:22. > :01:24.world number one. And a few showers

:01:25. > :01:26.in the forecast for tomorrow, The mother

:01:27. > :01:38.of a 21 year old man has severely criticised the health service

:01:39. > :01:41.for failing her son who died within Jennifer McAneney from Armagh has

:01:42. > :01:46.described the care given to her son Peter as sub-standard; she's

:01:47. > :01:49.also critical of why it took seven months for the Southern Health

:01:50. > :01:51.Trust to investigate why he died. The BBC can reveal that

:01:52. > :01:54.the Coroner's Office is carrying out Our Health Correspondent

:01:55. > :02:13.Marie-Louise Connolly has the story. Peter McAneney was fit and healthy,

:02:14. > :02:17.the 21-year-old was admitted to Craigavon hospital for a routine in

:02:18. > :02:21.operation in 2012 and three weeks later was it. Since then his family

:02:22. > :02:26.have been trying to get to the bottom of what happened to their

:02:27. > :02:32.only son. Strain the shock, and as a mother, I have lost one of my

:02:33. > :02:39.greatest gifts, he was our youngest and only son. It has just been so

:02:40. > :02:42.long since I have heard him call my name, and I just long to see him

:02:43. > :02:47.come down that path with the bag over his back, but I have to keep

:02:48. > :02:53.going, searching for answers about Peter. Peter had long-term problems

:02:54. > :02:59.with here in affections. He agreed to an operation to his inner ear but

:03:00. > :03:02.without his consent, he received a titania implied. He became ill with

:03:03. > :03:09.further infections and developed chest pains. He died following a

:03:10. > :03:16.heart attack. They are not giving us the answers, it is a wall of

:03:17. > :03:19.silence. They think they are untouchable, that their senior

:03:20. > :03:22.officers have taken a code of silence. The family have accused the

:03:23. > :03:38.trust of a catalogue of failings. In a statement to the BBC, the

:03:39. > :04:08.health trust Stop Peter's bedroom remains as it

:04:09. > :04:15.was when he left the hospital two and a half years ago and will remain

:04:16. > :04:19.so until the case is closed. A keen footballer, his untimely death

:04:20. > :04:28.affecting so many different people. He was so protective of us, he was

:04:29. > :04:34.kind and caring. He was football mad, he was training every day, he

:04:35. > :04:39.was great towards us all. His sisters acknowledge that people can

:04:40. > :04:47.make mistakes but according to Joanne, a nurse, this quest for

:04:48. > :04:50.truth is taking its toll. The pain of losing your brother doesn't

:04:51. > :04:56.compare to losing a son, it is hard to watch your parents go through

:04:57. > :04:59.this grief. The Northern Ireland coroner's office wrote to the

:05:00. > :05:05.Southern health trust asking for the report into Peter 's death but that

:05:06. > :05:10.report didn't exist and it was then that the trust reported his death as

:05:11. > :05:14.a serious and adverse incident. It took a further three months for the

:05:15. > :05:20.investigation to start and it was then that the family complained. In

:05:21. > :05:24.terms of the complaint, we formally wrote to them on the 31st of January

:05:25. > :05:37.20 13th and we received a response on the 10th of December 2013. Almost

:05:38. > :05:39.a year later. A coroner 's investigation has begun, the next

:05:40. > :05:44.step for the family will be news of an inquest.

:05:45. > :05:47.Detectives investigating the death of a man in west Belfast at

:05:48. > :05:51.Sean Corrigan was found dead in a flat in Saint Mary's Gardens

:05:52. > :05:55.The police say a post mortem examination carried

:05:56. > :05:58.out on his body indicated that the 31 year old may have died

:05:59. > :06:04.There are only a few hours left of voting in the Scottish Referendum.

:06:05. > :06:06.The independence poll is well underway and our political reporter

:06:07. > :06:08.Stephen Walker joins us now live from Edinburgh where

:06:09. > :06:25.The polls opened at 7am this morning, and people start voting

:06:26. > :06:35.very early, people like Alex Olmert, Gordon Brown, Nicola Sturgeon,

:06:36. > :06:38.Alistair Darling, there are 100,000 16 and 17-year-olds who are allowed

:06:39. > :06:42.to vote, they would be putting in the counting centres, all those

:06:43. > :06:47.results will be coming here, at some stage between midnight and one a.m.,

:06:48. > :06:52.we will start to get some figures about turnout and most of the

:06:53. > :06:56.figures will start to come through between three and 6am and tomorrow

:06:57. > :06:59.breakfast time we will have the final news as to whether Scotland

:07:00. > :07:01.goes independent or stays part of the union.

:07:02. > :07:03.And I'll be at Holyrood for tomorrow's BBC Newsline where we'll

:07:04. > :07:08.We'll also have full coverage of the result and reaction

:07:09. > :07:14.on television, radio and online starting tomorrow morning.

:07:15. > :07:17.A man who claims he accidentally killed his ex-girlfriend has been

:07:18. > :07:20.described in court as a violent madman on the day of the shooting.

:07:21. > :07:23.Mother of four Marion Millican died in March 2011 after she was shot

:07:24. > :07:28.in the chest while working at a laundrette in Portstewart.

:07:29. > :07:36.52 year old Fred McLenaghan, who's from Broad Street

:07:37. > :07:47.The victim 's family were in court as an interview with her colleague

:07:48. > :07:55.was played. It was recorded by police hours after the 51-year-old

:07:56. > :08:00.was shot death. They had just sat down to lunch when Fred McLenaghan

:08:01. > :08:05.came in. The victim said, you will never believe who this is. Mrs Henry

:08:06. > :08:10.said she believed was Mrs Milliken 's ex-partner and he was armed. She

:08:11. > :08:15.fled to a bathroom but claims Fred McLenaghan broke the door down. She

:08:16. > :08:19.managed to make a run for it and raised the alarm. Before she did,

:08:20. > :08:24.she looked at her friend one last time. She says, her face was white,

:08:25. > :08:29.I will never forget. She also claimed her friend had ended her

:08:30. > :08:36.rigid with Fred McLenaghan three months earlier after he had tried to

:08:37. > :08:39.strangle her. She added that the mother of four was in the process of

:08:40. > :08:46.a reconciliation with her husband. Next to give evidence was a friend

:08:47. > :08:51.of Pamela Henry, who was first into the lawn to read after the shooting

:08:52. > :08:55.said she found Marion Milliken lying face down and there was blood. Her

:08:56. > :09:00.husband then arrived and cradled her bloodied. -- cradled her body. The

:09:01. > :09:04.trial continues. Work begins in the next week

:09:05. > :09:12.on a ?30 million expansion of this Belfast venue - join me

:09:13. > :09:15.in a few minutes for a closer look at what's planned as we question if

:09:16. > :09:31.it will be worth ratepayers' money. A woman who claims she was abused

:09:32. > :09:35.by the well known folk musician Francis McPeake has been in

:09:36. > :09:43.the witness box for a second day. The 72 year old, who is part

:09:44. > :09:47.of the world famous McPeake Musical Family, is on trial for 12 counts of

:09:48. > :10:00.sex abuse against a teenager from Francis McPeake, part of the musical

:10:01. > :10:04.dynasty, is accused of having a sexual relationship with a

:10:05. > :10:08.schoolgirl when she was 15 and he was 67. The woman claims the abuse

:10:09. > :10:13.took place at a music festival in the Republic and at other venues

:10:14. > :10:17.around Belfast. Questioning the woman about her evidence, the

:10:18. > :10:21.defence lawyer said that Francis McPeake had been diagnosed and

:10:22. > :10:26.treated for prostate cancer in 2004 which had left him unable to have

:10:27. > :10:30.sex, even with prescribed medication. None of the abuse

:10:31. > :10:34.happened, he said, none of that sexual activity took place. The

:10:35. > :10:39.woman insisted she was telling the truth stopped but the lawyer also

:10:40. > :10:43.raised questions about what he said were inconsistencies between her

:10:44. > :10:47.police statements and her evidence. Yesterday the woman testified that

:10:48. > :10:52.she had felt a skin tag on Mr McPeake 's back when they were being

:10:53. > :10:57.intimate but today the defence barrister said she could have seen

:10:58. > :11:00.that when he was wearing a vest and cooking in a hot kitchen for

:11:01. > :11:06.musicians at an event in the Republic. The woman admitted that he

:11:07. > :11:07.had cooked for them at a festival but insisted she had never seen the

:11:08. > :11:13.mark. The trial continues. Next a reminder that from

:11:14. > :11:16.the start of next month, motorists won't have to show their tax disc

:11:17. > :11:21.in the windscreen of their vehicle Instead, it will be recorded

:11:22. > :11:36.electronically, as BBC The road tax disc will soon be

:11:37. > :11:41.history. It has been a legal requirement for motorists since 1921

:11:42. > :11:50.stop but from the start of next month, it's all going digital rather

:11:51. > :11:55.than visual. Needless to say, you still have to tax your car. We don't

:11:56. > :11:59.need it any more, we can do it from our record so we can know with it

:12:00. > :12:07.someone has paid tax on a vehicle but also, the cameras you see around

:12:08. > :12:11.and our own cameras. You will be able to tax your car online, by

:12:12. > :12:15.phone or at a post office. Soon this will be a thing of the past and some

:12:16. > :12:22.car dealers aren't convinced it's a good idea. No tax discs on the

:12:23. > :12:27.windows, people are going to forget, it's unnatural thing. Either they

:12:28. > :12:30.will be reminders, but the tax disc on the window was a fantastic

:12:31. > :12:37.reminder that has been there for years. Things will change, maybe not

:12:38. > :12:41.for the best. Whether drivers like it or not, it's going to happen and

:12:42. > :12:47.it's not the only change. As things stand, if you sell your car, the car

:12:48. > :12:52.tax can be transferred with it. From next month that can't happen. You

:12:53. > :12:57.will get a rebate on what's left of your car tax, and the new owner will

:12:58. > :13:01.have to tax the cars themselves. A recent survey by the RAC suggested

:13:02. > :13:07.many drivers didn't realise the new system was about to come into place.

:13:08. > :13:09.It starts on Tiger first stop car windscreens were never quite be the

:13:10. > :13:17.Find out what happened when Stephen Watson took

:13:18. > :13:33.a golf lesson from World Number One Rory McIlroy on the River Thames.

:13:34. > :13:40.The loss-making Waterfront Hall hopes a major extension due to begin

:13:41. > :13:43.shortly will lift its fortunes and at the same boost

:13:44. > :13:48.It aims to treble the number of visitors attending big

:13:49. > :13:52.Donna's overlooking one of the city's best know landmarks

:13:53. > :14:05.The expansion will change the part of the Waterfront directly

:14:06. > :14:10.It's a ?30 million project with the aim of increasing visitors.

:14:11. > :14:13.There were certainly hundreds of people arriving in the city this

:14:14. > :14:18.morning not here but on the biggest cruise liner to dock in Belfast.

:14:19. > :14:23.The newly built ship Royal Princess, which is just over a thousand feet

:14:24. > :14:34.long and 217 feet high has more than 3,500 passengers on board.

:14:35. > :14:41.Excellent, couldn't ask for more, beautiful town. We were here two

:14:42. > :14:48.years ago, it's really come up. Having a great time today. It's just

:14:49. > :14:55.like Glasgow! I love Belfast. We have enjoyed it a lot, lovely city.

:14:56. > :15:01.We have really enjoyed the talk in a wooded hop on, hop off, really

:15:02. > :15:06.enjoyed the day. Couple of pubs, just didn't want to do too many more

:15:07. > :15:12.monuments so it's time that the churches were given away for a

:15:13. > :15:16.while, town Hall, fantastic. Very nice place, number one.

:15:17. > :15:19.Those cruise tourists are a welcome boost for the local economy.

:15:20. > :15:25.But just as crucial are the people coming

:15:26. > :15:28.here for conferences - a market this city is aiming to develop.

:15:29. > :15:34.Our business correspondent Julian O'Neill takes up the story.

:15:35. > :15:42.Work will shortly commence to almost double the size of the Waterfront,

:15:43. > :15:48.two-year overhaul the aim to deliver larger, more lucrative conference

:15:49. > :15:52.business. Everybody globally is aware of Belfast. Maybe not for the

:15:53. > :15:58.right reason but what you have is that global awareness already. You

:15:59. > :16:00.also have a huge renaissance and building resented the Renaissance.

:16:01. > :16:09.That extinction will give us a second Renaissance. -- that

:16:10. > :16:13.extension. The waterfront has been operating at a loss for a long time.

:16:14. > :16:19.But conference delegate numbers are moving up and last year hit a high

:16:20. > :16:26.of 43,000. The aim is to trouble that number by 2020 and break even.

:16:27. > :16:32.All thanks to this investment of ?30 million, split between the council,

:16:33. > :16:36.the tourist board and Europe. The waterfront is operated by Belfast

:16:37. > :16:41.council but part of the conditions attached to it getting almost ?20

:16:42. > :16:45.million towards the extension is to examine future operating models so

:16:46. > :16:50.it could be in years to come that the Waterfront is run by an outside

:16:51. > :16:53.company. Belfast already does solid conference business, this one by the

:16:54. > :17:00.British Academy of management was one of its largest today and Inc

:17:01. > :17:05.titanic Belfast. With over 900 delegates, hopefully people will

:17:06. > :17:11.stay on, spend their money and stay in our hotels. Belfast does it

:17:12. > :17:14.beautifully because of the proximity of all the big hotels to the

:17:15. > :17:19.conference centre, you have this attraction, it's a great venue. It's

:17:20. > :17:27.a very vibrant city, absolutely buzzing. The extension will boost

:17:28. > :17:30.the exhibition space of the Waterfront. The concert venues will

:17:31. > :17:45.not change but the overall scale of the project reflects big ambitions.

:17:46. > :17:50.When we are talking about conferences, we're talking about

:17:51. > :17:54.large numbers. Do we have the capacity already in Belfast for

:17:55. > :18:01.those numbers? Business tourism is so important to our tourism economy,

:18:02. > :18:06.and the investment that the Northern Ireland tourist board are putting

:18:07. > :18:10.into the expansion of the Waterfront is a game changer in terms of

:18:11. > :18:15.business tourism. It's hard to quantify but in truth it is of the

:18:16. > :18:22.same significance as titanic Belfast is for leisure tourism. It creates a

:18:23. > :18:28.whole new business for us. Howard Tremarco is this venue when it is

:18:29. > :18:32.finished to the hotel? -- how detrimental. There are already

:18:33. > :18:39.conferences and fighting for business. It creates a whole new

:18:40. > :18:46.market. We should congratulate Belfast City Council and ATV and

:18:47. > :18:51.others for the vision they have shown in investing, because for the

:18:52. > :18:57.last three years... But Howard detrimental would it be for other

:18:58. > :19:02.businesses? It won't be. We have increased conferences to the city by

:19:03. > :19:10.130%, secured ?80 million into the local economy, Belfast is the

:19:11. > :19:14.number-1 conference city the UK. This facility creates a whole new

:19:15. > :19:20.market, international conferences, that would bring one thousand two

:19:21. > :19:27.2000 delegates, they will stay for five days. When those people come,

:19:28. > :19:31.they are high spenders, they will increase in the city, increase the

:19:32. > :19:38.occupancy rates and then increase the economic... But it sounds like a

:19:39. > :19:43.dream, ?30 million, it needs to pay off, do you have business all fully

:19:44. > :19:51.secure business that will fill the Waterfront whole? We have not been

:19:52. > :19:53.going after business because we didn't have the facilities, now we

:19:54. > :19:57.have the product that will make us competitive for that international

:19:58. > :20:03.market. We have secured 18 conferences for the city, between

:20:04. > :20:11.now and 2020, that will be housed in the hole. Off the top of my head, I

:20:12. > :20:18.can name you the world conference for credit unions, July 20 ?3

:20:19. > :20:25.million to the local economy. 1000 delegates... I have got the point!

:20:26. > :20:31.It is not detrimental, it is a huge boost to the tourism economy. Work

:20:32. > :20:40.begins in about a week. It's it will open in May 2016. -- it's hoped it

:20:41. > :20:42.will open. We'll find out then if the dream will become reality in

:20:43. > :20:45.terms of conference business. Now if you're a golfer, can you

:20:46. > :20:48.think of a better way to spend a day than hitting balls in the

:20:49. > :20:51.company of the world's top player? Mark Sidebottom is here

:20:52. > :20:56.with this evening's sport. Strikes me as the perfect way to

:20:57. > :21:00.unwind ahead of next week?s Ryder Cup - the bi-annual competition

:21:01. > :21:18.between Europe and the USA. Rory McIlroy said he wasn't going to

:21:19. > :21:22.practice this week but in front of a London landmark, he had the clubs

:21:23. > :21:26.out. It was only for a final promotional challenge which included

:21:27. > :21:32.a lesson for the mayor before the serious stuff gets underway next

:21:33. > :21:36.week. I needed the week off, it's been nice. I got home to Northern

:21:37. > :21:43.Ireland, got to catch up with friends and family, I needed it. I

:21:44. > :21:51.was feeling jaded. I will be ready to go by next Friday. After winning

:21:52. > :21:55.two major championships this summer and becoming the world 's best

:21:56. > :22:00.player again, he would love to hit the first tee shot for Europe next

:22:01. > :22:04.week. I will have a lot more responsibility, I was world number

:22:05. > :22:09.one going into the Ryder Cup in 2012 but I feel like this is my third

:22:10. > :22:13.one, I am not the rookie any more. I have a little bit more

:22:14. > :22:19.responsibility. Try and set the example and lead from the front.

:22:20. > :22:23.Hopefully the captain will put that trust in me and I can leave the team

:22:24. > :22:33.out and get some points for Europe. He is keen to rekindle his

:22:34. > :22:37.successful partnership. I would love to play with Graham, we have a great

:22:38. > :22:42.chemistry on the golf course, I'm sure we can team up for some points.

:22:43. > :22:49.Then it was time for me to go head-to-head with him. Great

:22:50. > :22:59.depression from the! This thing is rocking a bit.

:23:00. > :23:05.Haven't seen this action in a while, this is a sight to behold. Possibly

:23:06. > :23:14.one of the most nerve wracking things I have ever done. Done him

:23:15. > :23:25.the bridge! -- don't hit the bridge! In the last few minutes, the Royal

:23:26. > :23:30.and ancient golf club of St Andrews has voted to welcome women members,

:23:31. > :23:34.85% of those taking part in the change.

:23:35. > :23:36.Fifa executive committee member Jim Boyce says he plans to return

:23:37. > :23:39.a ?16,000 watch he received at the World Cup.

:23:40. > :23:41.Today FIFA ordered the return of sixty-five such watches

:23:42. > :23:46.distributed by the Brazilian Football Confederation.

:23:47. > :23:52.Its ethics code bans officials from receiving such gifts.

:23:53. > :23:59.Will he win or will he lose - will he stay or will he go - whatever

:24:00. > :24:01.the result of Sunday's All Ireland football final between Donegal and

:24:02. > :24:05.Kerry, Jim Mcguinness, the boy who forsook school books for fishing

:24:06. > :24:08.football, will remain one of most compelling figures in Irish sport.

:24:09. > :24:18.Here?s the potted history of the man who has made winning a science.

:24:19. > :24:27.The Jim McGuinness story reads like Homer 's Iliad, epic, poignant. He

:24:28. > :24:33.left school without a qualification, he took to see, and aged 23, had

:24:34. > :24:38.jumped ship to embrace education again. A seven-year academic to be
