There has been gun attack in West Belfast late this afternoon,

:00:07.:00:11.

Three men escaped injury in the latest shooting,

:00:12.:00:14.

Several shots were fired at the three men sitting in a white van

:00:15.:00:29.

outside shops on this road at around 4:15pm. The police say after opening

:00:30.:00:34.

fire on the vehicle, the gunman, who was wearing a mask and dark

:00:35.:00:38.

clothing, ran off. Nobody was injured in the shooting, though the

:00:39.:00:42.

van targeted in the attack was taken away for forensic examination. To

:00:43.:00:47.

night, scenes of crime officers continued their examination of the

:00:48.:00:50.

area at the front of the business premises. Meanwhile, detectives have

:00:51.:00:57.

charged two men aged 18 and 50 with threats to kill. It is understood

:00:58.:01:03.

the charges relate to threats yesterday in another road in West

:01:04.:01:08.

Belfast. This latest shooting comes a day after a man was shot and

:01:09.:01:11.

critically injured while sitting in a car outside a school in West

:01:12.:01:16.

Belfast yesterday morning. It is not known yet whether this incident is

linked to that one. The First Minister says key

of the inter-party talks should be Victims and survivors have called

on politicians to apologise for not including legacy issues

:01:27.:01:28.

in the Fresh Start agreement. Some victims told the BBC today

:01:29.:01:31.

that right up to the last minute they were led to believe something

was going to happen but they were The Troubles left the legacy of

discussions on legislation to set interparty talks there were

agencies which would examine the past. But polish since did not reach

:02:07.:02:11.

agreement on that issue. -- but politicians did not reach. That's

:02:12.:02:17.

not what was expected. A bit of disappointment and dismayed, because

:02:18.:02:22.

right up until the very last minute, we thought it was going to be a full

:02:23.:02:28.

paper that came out. And to think we have just been left behind and

:02:29.:02:33.

dismissed completely is shocking. We were led right to the water's edge,

:02:34.:02:41.

so to speak. We were getting ready to discuss the finer detail of what

:02:42.:02:45.

we thought would be draft legislation on the main issues, and

:02:46.:02:50.

then out of the blue, we were told, it is all off. They want an apology

:02:51.:02:55.

for those who signed the agreement. I feel everybody has let them down.

:02:56.:03:05.

In one sense it doesn't matter whether one party or another is to

:03:06.:03:10.

blame for this. All parties need to support this, come back to the table

:03:11.:03:13.

and move forward with these measures. The DUP, Sinn Fein and

:03:14.:03:17.

British and Irish governments are backing the deal which has resolved

:03:18.:03:24.

issues in policy and finance but not issues of the past. Victims should

:03:25.:03:34.

have the opportunity to see what the issues were and it is lack of

:03:35.:03:37.

respect to the victims that they were not given the information

:03:38.:03:42.

needed, so I would still put out, let's give them all the information

:03:43.:03:47.

about the situation that it was in. We need to point the finger where

:03:48.:03:54.

the problem is, and the problem is this paramilitary security which has

:03:55.:03:57.

been used as a veto so families will not get the truth. But the

:03:58.:04:02.

Government has defended its negotiating position. We want

:04:03.:04:06.

families to have as much information as people that are possible but

:04:07.:04:09.

there is a certain amount of information that, if it were

:04:10.:04:13.

publicly known, it would give assistance to terrorists, and we

:04:14.:04:17.

could simply not compromise on that. The Secretary of State is planning

:04:18.:04:21.

to meet with victims soon to discuss their concerns. The recent

:04:22.:04:24.

negotiations have shown once again that there is no issue more complex

:04:25.:04:28.

or contentious than how to deal with the past.

:04:29.:04:31.

An 88-year-old woman has been left badly shaken after being attacked

:04:32.:04:34.

by three men who also ransacked her home.

:04:35.:04:36.

They pulled the telephone out of the wall so she couldn't phone for help.

:04:37.:04:39.

And this isn't the first time we have reported on this Belfast

:04:40.:04:42.

These pictures of Josie were taken four years ago after two men had

:04:43.:04:59.

broken into her home of the Shankill Road leaving her battered and

:05:00.:05:03.

bruised. Today a community worker Iain Maclachlan told me it had

:05:04.:05:07.

happened again. This time, just before 7pm, before the meal is

:05:08.:05:13.

entered her home, she was slapped around the face several times and I

:05:14.:05:19.

think when she fell she actually squealed all screamed quite loudly,

:05:20.:05:22.

which perhaps upset these people, and they left the house with her

:05:23.:05:32.

post and bank card. -- squealed all screamed. She was once robbed along

:05:33.:05:37.

this stretch of road not far from her home. A man even came to her

:05:38.:05:41.

door claiming he was returning money that had been stolen from her and

:05:42.:05:45.

she was robbed again. In fact, I believes she has been robbed of

:05:46.:05:49.

around five times in the past number of years. -- robbed around. Her

:05:50.:05:55.

neighbour Marie did not want to appear on camera. She helped Josie

:05:56.:05:59.

in the moments after the robbery and today she visited her in hospital.

:06:00.:06:06.

What state is she in? She is just crying. She is just saying, why did

:06:07.:06:11.

they do that to me? Why is this happening to me? I don't owe these

:06:12.:06:15.

people any money I have. I've worked hard for my money, she says.

:06:16.:06:22.

Anything she has is saved for her daughter and grandchildren and her

:06:23.:06:28.

funeral. Despite what has happened, Josie told her neighbour she wants

:06:29.:06:29.

to return to her home. A new discovery by scientists

colder in the studio! Let's look at the forecast.

:08:14.:08:19.

Good evening. The cold air has certainly been digging in today and

:08:20.:08:28.

we have had showers and lottery wins brewing up. -- blustery winds. We

:08:29.:08:33.

could see wins at 60 miles an hour around the coast and they could be

:08:34.:08:39.

disruptive. We have sleet and snow showers and they will leave a

:08:40.:08:42.

dusting on the hills, but they are also leaving wet surfaces, and as

:08:43.:08:46.

temperatures drop back to freezing, I would not be surprised to see some

:08:47.:08:50.

icy patches forming. The roads could be quite slippery so do take care.

:08:51.:08:54.

We still have that bitter wind as we start the weekend with more wintry

:08:55.:08:58.

showers to come for a time tomorrow and they will be edging in from the

:08:59.:09:02.

north-west. Again, that wintry mix of rain, hail, sleet and snow. A few

:09:03.:09:10.

showers over the eastern side of Northern Ireland and also running

:09:11.:09:13.

along the south and south-east of England. The wind warning remains in

place here for gales or severe gales, so bitterly cold and even

:09:20.:09:22.

where we have the sunshine it will be a pretty cold day. Out towards

:09:23.:09:27.

the west and north-west, we have showers coming in in the afternoon.

:09:28.:09:31.

Bright spells in between and by that stage we will find most of the

:09:32.:09:34.

showers in Northern Ireland will be rain with sleet contract -- confined

:09:35.:09:43.

to the hills. More frost and icy patches tomorrow night and the wind

:09:44.:09:47.

is is down for Sunday, the drier day of the weekend, but still feeling

:09:48.:09:48.

chilly. -- the wind eases down. Our next BBC Newsline is
