:00:43. > :00:45.A High Court judge has ruled that the grounds for an abortion in
:00:46. > :00:47.Northern Ireland should be extended and that as it stands the law
:00:48. > :00:53.Under current legislation a termination is only permitted
:00:54. > :00:56.if the pregnancy jeopardises the life of the mother or would have
:00:57. > :00:59.a long term impact on her mental or physical health.
:01:00. > :01:10.Our reporter David Maxwell was in the court...
:01:11. > :01:17.Sarah Ewart's situation brought the abortion laws into sharp focus. A
:01:18. > :01:21.scan showed her baby had a fatal foetal knock abnormality and she
:01:22. > :01:26.travelled to England for a termination. She could not legally
:01:27. > :01:29.have one here. That prompted a public consultation on abortion. The
:01:30. > :01:34.Department of Justice propose that fatal foetal abnormality be included
:01:35. > :01:37.in the limited circumstances where abortions can take place. The
:01:38. > :01:40.Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission took a judicial review
:01:41. > :01:45.saying that the department did not go far enough. It wanted to include
:01:46. > :01:49.pregnancies that result from rape or incest as well. In his ruling the
:01:50. > :01:53.judge concluded that the law as it stands reaches the human rights of
:01:54. > :02:18.women whose babies could not survive outside the womb and those who are
:02:19. > :02:20.pregnant as a result of a sex crime. Sarah Ewart's mother was in court.
:02:21. > :02:23.Probably for a lot of women like Sarah it is not polite but sheer
:02:24. > :02:26.belief that they are going to get the medical help at long last and
:02:27. > :02:28.they can move on with their families. Just have the right
:02:29. > :02:30.medical treatment that they need. The Department of Justice has
:02:31. > :02:32.recognised that in cases of foetal abnormality they want to bring
:02:33. > :02:35.forward legislation. They had canvassed the issue on sexual crimes
:02:36. > :02:37.but decided not to. It is not a big step for them now to decide on the
:02:38. > :02:39.site -- circumstances of the judgment to legislate for the
:02:40. > :02:42.victims of sexual crimes. These women are victims but we cannot make
:02:43. > :02:45.a victim out of the numbered child by destroying its life. We must
:02:46. > :02:50.provide care and support for those women, destroying an unborn child in
:02:51. > :02:54.these circumstances is still wrong. Some say the assembly should have
:02:55. > :02:58.privacy in these matters, point addressed by the High Court judge.
:02:59. > :03:02.Mr justice Horner said that given the Northern Ireland Executive is
:03:03. > :03:17.unlikely to address this matter in the foreseeable future and given
:03:18. > :03:19.that Northern Ireland citizens are entitled to have their rights
:03:20. > :03:22.protected by the courts, there was a need for a change to the law as it
:03:23. > :03:24.stands. This ruling marks a considerable step towards a
:03:25. > :03:26.relaxation of abortion laws relating to sexual crimes and fatal foetal
:03:27. > :03:28.abnormality but it will take a further court hearing in two weeks'
:03:29. > :03:31.time to determine if the new legislation is required.
:03:32. > :03:34.And there'll be more discussion on the issue of abortion on

:03:47. > :03:58.It's understood they're both in a stable condition in hospital.
:03:59. > :04:04.I am very surprised that these men have been shot today inside a bar
:04:05. > :04:07.where people were working and socialising, trying to get a bar

:04:50. > :04:54.The family car was destroyed and the side of the house was badly damaged.
:04:55. > :05:04.I am still in shock. I just came back last night. I felt really down.
:05:05. > :05:10.What my wife and children went through, it is really bad. Really
:05:11. > :05:15.bad experience. The children aged eight and ten are still traumatised
:05:16. > :05:20.by what happened. Still they are in shock. They are getting up at
:05:21. > :05:24.night, they have had a nightmare, it is scary, scary dreams, they are
:05:25. > :05:29.seen them at night and they are calling me at night-time. There are
:05:30. > :05:33.still in shock. Since the attack, thousands of pounds has been raised
:05:34. > :05:36.by a fund to replace the burned-out car. The family appreciate the
:05:37. > :05:50.generosity, but say that those A new law is to go through
:05:51. > :05:53.the Assembly to reduce bullying costs be covered by their insurance
:05:54. > :05:56.policy. The Education Minister hopes it
:05:57. > :05:59.will come into effect next year. As our
:06:00. > :06:00.Education Correspondent Robbie Meredith reports, the legislation
:06:01. > :06:05.will require schools to do more. For these pupils at this time we
:06:06. > :06:08.school in Newton Arms, school is a place of learning, safety and
:06:09. > :06:11.friendship. We have a number of systems in place in the school that
:06:12. > :06:15.we employ to protect the children. Foremost is the use of a buddy
:06:16. > :06:20.system where we have the peas seven children come down and they play
:06:21. > :06:24.with the younger children and they highlight any issues or problems
:06:25. > :06:28.that are rising so that we can get is nipped in the bud. Studies show
:06:29. > :06:51.that around a third of schoolchildren in Northern will have
:06:52. > :06:53.experience billion. The due Bill tries to tackle that by providing a
:06:54. > :06:55.legal definition of bullying, it requires schools to record all
:06:56. > :06:57.incidents and makes boards of governors responsible for
:06:58. > :07:00.anti-bullying policy. It is a positive move in terms of all the
:07:01. > :07:02.schools will be singing from the same hymn sheet. The provision has
:07:03. > :07:04.been variable. An earlier consultation said that was little
:07:05. > :07:06.legal basis for a school to get involved in allegations of
:07:07. > :07:08.cyberbullying outside school. This expert thinks that is correct.
:07:09. > :07:11.Cyberbullying, although growing, is not the most common form of
:07:12. > :07:15.bullying. The most recent statistics from the Department show that you
:07:16. > :07:20.are four times more likely to be verbally bullied than cyber
:07:21. > :07:25.bullied. That is not to play down the importance of cyberbullying, but
:07:26. > :07:45.it is important that we keep things in perspective. While unfortunately
:07:46. > :07:48.it is not a problem that is ever likely to be totally conquered, the
:07:49. > :07:49.aim of the new laws is to give as much more comprehensive
:07:50. > :07:50.understanding of the scale of bullying in our schools. Ultimately,
:07:51. > :07:51.better prevention and more tears. Father Gerry Reynolds - who played
:07:52. > :07:54.key roles in cross community work Fr Reynolds was deeply committed
