Here on BBC One it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hundreds of people have attended a vigil outside the home | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
of Christopher Meli, the 20-year-old man | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
from West Belfast who was murdered at the weekend. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
The young father was attacked by a gang of between 15 and 20 | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
youths in Twinbrook as he walked to a shop while visiting friends. | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
Five teenagers were being questioned by the police tonight as people | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
gathered in support of his family in the Springfield Road area. | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
A family's grief laid bare outside their home. | :00:33. | :00:41. | |
At times tonight, Christopher's brothers were overcome with sorrow. | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
His parents struggling to understand their loss. | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
Several hundred people came to the street | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
Prayers and offerings of hope for a family dealing | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
with devastation since the moment they learned | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
They asked if we had a picture of Christopher. | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
She looked at the picture and she hugged me and said | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
And, in the time since that moment, this family has been | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
Was he kicked around the place like a rag doll? | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
I reckon Christopher died a very violent death. | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
he was calling me, I believe he was calling me or both of us. | :01:25. | :01:32. | |
Christopher was training to become and engineer, | :01:33. | :01:33. | |
learning to drive, dreaming of a future. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
He couldn't wait to get that wee car on the road to go to work. | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
He begged me, mummy, will you get me the insurance | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
for Christmas, that's what he wanted. | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
That's what he wanted, when he passed his test, and now... | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
The police say Christopher died after a vicious | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
They also say he was attacked by a number of people in need big group. | :02:03. | :02:18. | |
-- in a big group. Some of the people in that group may not have | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
been involved in the attack or anticipated the outcome of the | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
attack. We are working to establish what happened and who was involved. | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
It is only a matter of time for we identify everyone who was there and | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
I am appealing for those people to come forward now and tell police | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
what they saw. Come to us before we come to you, is the message for | :02:43. | :02:43. | |
them. And among the hundreds who came | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
to the vigil tonight, Christopher's friends remembering | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
a proud young father. He always brought his child into the | :02:50. | :02:58. | |
conversation, he was the main interest. The day he was born I | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
remember Christopher standing proud as punch. | :03:04. | :03:04. | |
Tonight, the community of West Belfast gave support | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
to the family, and the family of Christopher Meli gave support | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
A man's been in court charged with killing his mother. | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
Lija Aroustamova was found dead in Portavogie at the weekend. | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
The woman's body was found at this semidetached house | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
in the County Down fishing village of Portavogie in the early hours | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
She was 52-year-old Lija Aroustamova, who was originally | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
from Latvia and was understood to have lived and worked in the area | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
Today her 25-year-old son, Viktors Arustamovs, appeared | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
in Downpatrick Magistrates' Court charged with her murder. | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
He too is from Lativa but has no fixed abode. | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
Viktors Arustamovs appeared in court dressed in | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
As he stood in the dock, an interpreter explained | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
the court proceedings and questions in Russian. | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
He replied in English, giving his date of birth and saying | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
A police officer told the court he believed he could connect | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
There was no bail application and Mr Arustamovs was remanded | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
in custody until 8th January, when he will appear in Newtownards | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
The parents of three teenage boys who were attacked by a gang | :04:14. | :04:22. | |
in Londonderry say their sons have been left terrified. | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
The police are treating the assault, which happened at the city side | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
entrance of the Peace Bridge, as a sectarian hate crime. | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
The boys are all Protestants - one is 13, the others | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
We've spoken to the fathers of two of them who did not | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
One said the boys could have been killed. | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
I think it's a disgrace they can't go to the city side and come and go | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
as they please without being attacked because of their religion. | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
When they were booting him in the face | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
He says to me, Dad, I was very lucky not to get thrown into the Foyle. | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
Hearing that, it could have been a disaster. | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
We could have been looking at a fatality today | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
Victims of the Troubles have met the Secretary of State | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
to push for a resolution of the political disagreement | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
At the recent inter-party talks there was no agreement on issues | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
relating to the legacy of the conflict. | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
After the meeting with Theresa Villiers, the Victims' Forum | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
said they were more optimistic than before. | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
I'm quite confident, more confident that I was a couple of weeks ago, | :05:34. | :05:44. | |
that the Secretary of State will speak to politicians again when they | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
return in the New Year and hopefully with new energy and a will to | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
compromise. There must be compromise in this solution to legacy issues. | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
Politicians are demonstrating willingness to engage. As a | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
government we put some compromises on the table and national security | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
questions, right of appeal to the High Court. We feel we stretched | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
ourselves on that but we are open to consideration of alternatives. | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
The trial has begun of an evangelical preacher accused | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
of making grossly offensive remarks about Islam. | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
Pastor James McConnell denies two charges relating to a sermon he gave | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
More than 100 of his supporters came to the court, including the DUP MP | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
Sammy Wilson and the TUV leader Jim Allister. | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
Football now, and there was a goal fest in tonight's | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
Danske Bank Premiership game between Portadown and Glentoran, | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
The home side opened the scoring with this goal by Gary Twigg, | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
but Glentoran struck back with Marcus Kane scoring | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
Curtis Allen scored his second of the night for Glentoran | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
in the 52nd minute to bring the score to 4-3, but this effort | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
from Twigg sealed the win for the Ports. | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
On BBC Newsline tomorrow we focus on the 51 Syrian refugees | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
who are due to arrive from camps in Lebanon. | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
We talk to others who have already set up home here. | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
They describe the conditions they left behind. | :07:25. | :07:32. | |
It's not a normal life, they kill us, you cannot believe it. Nothing, | :07:33. | :07:44. | |
no electricity, no clean water, that's good food, no milk for them, | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
especially the babies. They are suffering. It is a difficult, hard | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
life for them. You can see more on that on BBC | :07:55. | :07:55. | |
Newsline at 6:30pm tomorrow evening. Tomorrow the Good Morning Ulster | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
programme will be discussing the refugees, and as Britain's Tim | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
Peake prepares for take-off to the International Space Station, | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
an astronaut who has been there is in the studio | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
recalling his experiences. That's on BBC Radio | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
Ulster in the morning. After a cloudy day, let's see | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
if the skies will clear The weather forecast | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
is next with Cecilia Daly. After the cold weather of the | :08:16. | :08:31. | |
weekend it may be pleasant to know this week will be mild, so no frost, | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
temperatures in double figures on most days. Not much sunshine but the | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
breeze will generally be mild but will bring rain at times so we will | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
need to monitor that as the ground is saturated. Nothing too heavy | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
tonight but it will be damp and drizzle later, although by morning | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
some places will have dry up. Some low cloud may linger in the | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
rush-hour, making it foggy on high ground, the main area comes in from | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
the South later in the day. Some drizzle initially but will die out, | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
the breeze will pick up that this is the main wet weather over the | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
southern half of Ireland moving north. Moving into Wales, England, | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
eventually Northern England and there are rain warnings in force for | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
Yorkshire, but much of Scotland will be dry and milder, so there will be | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
a law of the snow covering much of the Scottish Highlands. Wet from | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
late afternoon onwards, heavy bursts of rain accompanied by blustery | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
winds, the rain will die away on Tuesday night, not as a wet on | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
Wednesday with a lot of dry weather and temperatures in low teens. That | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
is the main theme, it will be mild, some rain at times but overall not | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
that heavy. And that's all from me. Good night. | :10:02. | :10:03. |
