:01:43. > :01:48.The incident happened around three o'clock this afternoon. There are a
:01:49. > :01:52.number of schools nearby and it is said that children were making their
:01:53. > :01:56.way home. One bystander said that the five-year-old boy was carrying
:01:57. > :02:01.the schoolbag. The police investigation centres on a stretch
:02:02. > :02:06.of the Scrabo Road, a suburban area on the outskirts of Newtownards. My

:02:13. > :02:20.Scrabo Road, lying with his wee schoolbag and all. It is just
:02:21. > :02:24.horrendous. I hope the boy is OK. Many local people are only receiving

:04:02. > :04:05.justice to this case, locals at the golf club
:04:06. > :04:07.are remembering their former colleague Eddie Girvan and what one
:04:08. > :04:20.member described to me He was very helpful. He would have
:04:21. > :04:30.turned up and helped that somebody had a problem. That was the nature
:04:31. > :04:38.of the guide. We had our golfing Society and Eddie became a member of
:04:39. > :04:45.it. We went away to Scotland one time. Eddie turned up on the first
:04:46. > :04:51.tee box is in his sports jacket, shirt and tie. We all had a bit of a
:04:52. > :04:56.laugh, but he just continued playing can be enjoyed his company. As the
:04:57. > :05:07.police tried to bring justice to this case, locals at the golf club
:05:08. > :05:09.say they are trying to remember the good times they had together.

:05:32. > :05:37.me. But the police have been surprised at just how many men and
:05:38. > :05:42.women have been caught out. We have seen young female victims of the
:05:43. > :05:47.elderly adult men. From teenagers to people in their 60s. This will
:05:48. > :05:53.target anyone who uses the Internet. It is a crime that only requires an
:05:54. > :05:59.Internet connection, so it is no respect of age, class, gender. The
:06:00. > :06:02.police are investigating 62 different cases. Some people have
:06:03. > :06:08.been targeted by blackmailers whether you're on pornography sites.
:06:09. > :06:14.But mainstream websites are also being used. People click on a link
:06:15. > :06:18.or accept a friend request, and suddenly they are into her
:06:19. > :06:22.relationship with a person. Eventually there will be a request
:06:23. > :06:28.for some sort of sexual imagery, perhaps mutual sexual imagery. The
:06:29. > :06:33.victim provides that the crime gang. The crime gang will then say I am
:06:34. > :06:38.not too I said I was only need to pay me a certain amount of money. If
:06:39. > :06:42.you don't I will circulate it. For example, particularly if you're on
:06:43. > :06:48.social media, I will circulate it to your friends and family. Because you
:06:49. > :06:52.have led me into your world, I know who your friends and family are. If
:06:53. > :06:58.someone has sent images that they neither regret or even paid money,
:06:59. > :07:03.what is due advice? We will not judge you do what you tell us. We
:07:04. > :07:06.will treat you as the victim of crime, as you are. There are means
:07:07. > :07:13.and methods that can be adopted to remove some of that imagery and
:07:14. > :07:18.protect you. The crime gangs involved are often on the other side
:07:19. > :07:18.of the world in places like the Philippines. Catching criminals is

:07:36. > :07:42.from her home in Divis Flats in West Belfast in December 1972,

:07:51. > :07:58.beach in County Louth until 2003. Three years later,
:07:59. > :08:01.the Police Ombudsman concluded a proper investigation
:08:02. > :08:03.into the murder had not been carried Now the High Court has granted seven

:09:42. > :09:44.said Sam Marshall's death would now be investigated by the watchdog,
:09:45. > :09:52.along with 20 others. According to Ombudsman's legal team,
:09:53. > :09:54.the 21 murders had been linked by geographical location,

:09:57. > :10:04.of the UVF in mid-Ulster during the late 1980s
:10:05. > :10:08.and early 1990s. The lawyer also revealed the inquest

:10:13. > :10:17.of a preliminary report Since the time of the shooting there
:10:18. > :10:25.have been rumours of collusion. A car found near the scene was found

:11:10. > :11:10.after three months of a weakening pound against the euro, what does it
:11:11. > :11:15.pound against the euro, what does it mean for our pockets?
:11:16. > :11:18.It's emerged that some pupils studying GCSEs in Northern Ireland
:11:19. > :11:20.will get some of their grades in number form.
:11:21. > :11:22.That is despite Education Minister John O'Dowd's decision that all exam
:11:23. > :11:25.boards operating here must only give their results using the letters
:11:26. > :11:37.Our Education Correspondent Robbie Meredith can explain why.
:11:38. > :11:45.All GCSEs in England will be rated from one to nine. John O'Dowd
:11:46. > :11:48.decided not to go for this. The problem is that a quarter of the
:11:49. > :11:59.exams here are taken in English boards. We thought that schools here
:12:00. > :12:04.would have to take virtually all of their GCSEs through the Northern
:12:05. > :12:10.Ireland exam board, but that is not quite the case. These people to
:12:11. > :12:14.Campbell College in Belfast are in their GCSE studies next year and
:12:15. > :12:22.have been picked subjects like Polish, mountain or psychology some
:12:23. > :12:27.might get numbered grades from nine .1, and others will get letters.
:12:28. > :12:42.Manager in will be graded from nine up to one. Other exams will get from
:12:43. > :12:50.temp three down the GE. Schools will be allowed to offer 9-1 in GCSEs in
:12:51. > :12:56.those subjects only until alphabetically graded specifications
:12:57. > :12:59.become available. But see CEA are also revising their own GCSE
:13:00. > :13:06.courses, meaning that some schools will have to change this year and
:13:07. > :13:10.again next year. Religious education is one of the subjects to reduce an
:13:11. > :13:13.English examination board. So the teachers within the department will
:13:14. > :13:24.have to plan for a new specification. That is being revised
:13:25. > :13:28.at the moment, launching the new specification from 2017. Campbell
:13:29. > :13:33.College will potentially have the teach three different GCSE...
:13:34. > :13:39.Education courses in three years. Just a few miles away, teachers see
:13:40. > :13:45.your face the same situation in regards to the current GCSEs in
:13:46. > :13:49.computing. With the changes that have been brought out we have to
:13:50. > :13:56.look for a different specification. The Northern Ireland board are not
:13:57. > :14:06.bringing on a computing course until 2017. So, we could have three
:14:07. > :14:09.different systems in three years. Many schools are in a similar
:14:10. > :14:11.position and have a short time to make a definitive decision on the
:14:12. > :14:19.way ahead. So, a very complex situation for the
:14:20. > :14:23.schools to deal with. A-Level to not affected by these changes. Robbie,
:14:24. > :14:27.The value of the pound has been weakening against the euro over
:14:28. > :14:31.That comes after a period of strength, which meant your money
:14:32. > :14:33.went further on cross-border shopping or Spanish holidays.
:14:34. > :14:35.So, will the pound continue to weaken and what impact
:14:36. > :14:38.Here's our Economics and Business Editor,
:14:39. > :14:43.Newry is a city well used to the impact of currency fluctuations.
:14:44. > :14:45.When the pound is strong against the euro, it makes sense
:14:46. > :14:48.for shoppers to head south where their money will go further.
:14:49. > :14:57.The pound was exceptionally strong last year.
:14:58. > :15:03.Historically, Newry has had to deal with the vagaries of the rates of
:15:04. > :15:08.sterling and the euro. We have learned to deal with that. As far as
:15:09. > :15:12.last year, it all came down to perception and the press were
:15:13. > :15:16.saying, look how strong the point isn't how we are your release, so
:15:17. > :15:18.people began to travel to the south the shop.
:15:19. > :15:20.Hospitality was probably hit hardest, with wedding parties
:15:21. > :15:25.in particular spying a bargain across the border.
:15:26. > :15:36.People do come and ask you what the exchange rate is, but what they
:15:37. > :15:40.stress to them is that the exchange rate is not certain and in a few
:15:41. > :15:41.years' time it might have changed in the opposite way.
:15:42. > :15:45.But now the tide could be turning, with various economic factors
:15:46. > :15:56.So, a weaker pound could bring some relief to border retailers, but for
:15:57. > :16:00.consumers it is a pain, particularly when it comes to holidays. If the
:16:01. > :16:08.pound continues to weaken it will make relatively more expensive to
:16:09. > :16:14.travel to America or Europe. But the dose businesses trying to sell their
:16:15. > :16:26.business abroad, it can make it more competitive. About half of all of
:16:27. > :16:28.exports -- all of our exports go to the euro land. So that is a huge
:16:29. > :16:34.This time last year it cost about 77p to buy a euro.
:16:35. > :16:36.Today, it costs about 77p to buy a euro.
:16:37. > :16:38.But in between times, euros became as cheap as 70p.
:16:39. > :16:41.So there will always currency fluctuations and its hard to say
:16:42. > :16:51.if the pound is in for a prolonged period of weakness.
:16:52. > :16:57.Coming up before seven o'clock, we assess the state of play between the
:16:58. > :16:59.two main nationalist parties. between the two main

:17:01. > :17:02.which was once the former Kincora Boys Home in East Belfast
:17:03. > :17:05.has called on the DUP to clarify its position over
:17:06. > :17:07.the building's future. Nine months ago, the then
:17:08. > :17:09.First Minister, Peter Robinson, had called for it to be
:17:10. > :17:12.razed to the ground. Since then, the owner says
:17:13. > :17:14.he has heard nothing more and that he doesn't
:17:15. > :17:16.know how to proceed. Today it's called Linden House,
:17:17. > :17:22.but once it was known as Kincora Boys Home -
:17:23. > :17:25.a place of fear for the teenage boys At least 29 are thought
:17:26. > :17:31.to have been abused. Last year, the then First Minister,
:17:32. > :17:33.Peter Robinson, described the building as a sore
:17:34. > :17:37.in the community and called for it When a building is so associated
:17:38. > :17:44.with horrific events such as the abuse of young boys,
:17:45. > :17:47.as in the past with Kincora, I think the best thing to do
:17:48. > :17:58.is raze it to the ground. Today, the building's owner told me
:17:59. > :18:03.he has tried to contact the DUP and Peter Robinson by email
:18:04. > :18:05.and registered letters and that I was proposing to
:18:06. > :18:15.develope the office. We have a planing applilcation
:18:16. > :18:17.for an extension at the back of the office and, effectively,
:18:18. > :18:20.it was going to be my pension My architect informs me that
:18:21. > :18:24.if we go ahead and build the extension and renovate
:18:25. > :18:29.the building and it's going to be knocked down or vested,
:18:30. > :18:31.what's the point of doing that? We need clarifciation
:18:32. > :18:33.from Peter Robinson about what he was proposing and how
:18:34. > :18:35.he was proposing to remove the building, which is
:18:36. > :18:39.what he says he wants to do. The BBC asked the DUP

:19:16. > :19:17.there are key battlegrounds The SDLP are trying
:19:18. > :19:26.to reclaim old ground. Newry is a bellwether
:19:27. > :19:30.for nationalist voters. For almost 20 years,
:19:31. > :19:32.the Newry and Armagh Westminster seat belonged to the
:19:33. > :19:35.SDLP's Seamus Mallon. Now they have three MLAs
:19:36. > :19:44.here, the SDLP one. On the streets, the parties' recent
:19:45. > :20:00.fortunes are evident. I used to go with the SDLP, but they
:20:01. > :20:04.don't do anything any more. I vote for Sinn Fein in the hope they do
:20:05. > :20:13.well this year. Would anything swing you to the other nationalist party?
:20:14. > :20:16.No. John Hume and all of those big people, they all sort of
:20:17. > :20:17.disappeared. Seamus Mallon and all of them.
:20:18. > :20:21.Mr Mallon's old job of Deputy First Minister has
:20:22. > :20:23.belonged to Sinn Fein for nearly a decade.

:21:59. > :22:07.I don't know about him. He is a Derry man. I don't know who he is,
:22:08. > :22:11.to tell you the truth. Never heard of them. There are too many old
:22:12. > :22:17.people. More young people might catch themselves on, you know? Would
:22:18. > :22:21.you give him a chance? I might. Electoral success in places like
:22:22. > :22:27.this is incredibly important for the nationalist parties, both
:22:28. > :22:30.symbolically and strategically. The results of the Assembly election
:22:31. > :22:32.will determine the direction of nationalism for the next five years.
:22:33. > :22:35.of nationalism for the next five years.
:22:36. > :22:37.Tomorrow, Chris will be looking at the battle within unionism.
:22:38. > :22:40.Thomas Niblock is in studio for sport this evening and it's been
:22:41. > :22:43.a great day for one Irish rugby player in particular.
:22:44. > :22:46.Rory Best played for Ireland 89 times, but something
:22:47. > :22:49.tells me his 90th cap is going to be something special.
:22:50. > :22:52.That's because he is the new Irish rugby captain.
:22:53. > :22:55.His journey from Banbridge Rugby Club to the very top of Irish rugby
:22:56. > :23:00.is complete, as Rory Best adds his name to some
:23:01. > :23:07.From the early days of the great Jack Kyle, to the days of colour
:23:08. > :23:10.Willie Anderson faced down the haka in the 80's and,
:23:11. > :23:13.in more recent times, it's been Brian O'Driscoll and Paul
:23:14. > :23:17.But now it's Rory Best - a lifetime ambition achieved
:23:18. > :23:32.When you look back, whenever I was younger and watching my dad played
:23:33. > :23:37.for Banbridge, all I wanted to do was play for Banbridge. Then you
:23:38. > :23:41.start to watch Ulster and Ireland games and you imagine what would be
:23:42. > :23:45.like to plague of them. To be Ulster captain and Ireland captain, it is
:23:46. > :23:51.massive for me. We are a big rugby family. I know my family and all my
:23:52. > :23:54.friends will be delighted. It is a huge honour and something I am
:23:55. > :23:56.unbelievably privilege and humbled to do.
:23:57. > :23:59.The man who made the decision is Ireland coach Joe Schmidt.
:24:00. > :24:01.So, how did Best find out he was to join some
:24:02. > :24:08.He phoned me. There was probably a lot of smiling and nodding from my
:24:09. > :24:15.end, which he didn't see, probably thankfully! He phoned me and said,
:24:16. > :24:21.we would love you to be captain. You are the one we would like to do it.
:24:22. > :24:28.I was trying to play it cool, but inside my heart was jumping. Yes,
:24:29. > :24:34.Joe, I would be honoured to do it, thanks very much! The most difficult
:24:35. > :24:37.The most difficult thing was keeping it quiet for a few days.
:24:38. > :24:39.Talking is an important part of any sporting captain,
:24:40. > :24:43.but Best would rather lead by a different way.
:24:44. > :24:49.Words are good at the right time, but it is all about actions and that
:24:50. > :24:55.is what you have got to try to produce. I don't think it is that
:24:56. > :24:57.much more pressure than playing international week anyway because
:24:58. > :25:10.you have to be at the top of your game.
:25:11. > :25:12.In local football, Knockbreda made the sixth round of the Irish Cup
:25:13. > :25:14.last night after beating Annagh United.
:25:15. > :25:16.Elsewhere there were two games in the premiership but we start
:25:17. > :25:18.with Glentoran's Irish Cup clash against Ards.
:25:19. > :25:22.After three consecutive league defeat this is potentially a tricky
:25:23. > :25:25.tie for the cup-holders, but Chris Landry settled the nerves after six
:25:26. > :25:37.minutes. He was on target again shortly afterwards. The championship
:25:38. > :25:45.leaders pulled a goal back. After the interval, glaring -- Glentoran
:25:46. > :25:52.got their third. Lavery completed his hat-trick to set up a sixth
:25:53. > :25:59.round tie at home with Blaenavon. We are actually playing twice in a row
:26:00. > :26:05.against them. We are here to defend the trophy. If we are playing them
:26:06. > :26:10.at home, we will go out and set out stall win the game. We want to win
:26:11. > :26:18.the Irish Cup, that is the bottom line. This early goal was enough for
:26:19. > :26:20.Ballymena United to get their win over struggling Carrick Rangers.
:26:21. > :26:22.Warrenpoint's recent revival continued after they beat Portadown
:26:23. > :26:33.2-1. Rory McIlroy tees off tomorrow,
:26:34. > :26:35.in his first tournament Also in the field will be current
:26:36. > :26:40.world number one Jordan Spieth, and the two have already been
:26:41. > :26:52.locking horns, is a different form When we needed the race, we all put
:26:53. > :26:57.it on high. Jordan nearly took the fight. We collided have down the
:26:58. > :27:03.fairway. It was really good fun. It was a nice way to start the week.
:27:04. > :27:10.Rory and I going this way, together. I bumped the back of his board.
:27:11. > :27:13.Fortunately, his ankle stayed on the board, so that was nice! We had a
:27:14. > :27:19.good time yesterday. It was not deliberate!
:27:20. > :27:27.That will be a fascinating sporting rivalry through 2016.
:27:28. > :27:34.Hello, good evening. It has been a beautiful day today. Tomorrow is
:27:35. > :27:38.going to be normal service resumed. At least the year skies encourage
:27:39. > :27:49.lots of people together with their cameras. We had a very full inbox
:27:50. > :27:53.today. The clear skies, that is one of the reasons we will see some very
:27:54. > :27:58.cold apertures through the first part of the night. It will start to
:27:59. > :28:03.cloud over the span the brain moves in. There is the chance of mist and
:28:04. > :28:08.hill fog by tomorrow morning. There is it is my brother will have a
:28:09. > :28:12.grey, thank quality to it. Most of us will wake up to some rain. It
:28:13. > :28:17.will gradually clear right to the east. Even once it is gone, we keep
:28:18. > :28:23.that blanket of cloud sitting over us. We are into some more mild air.
:28:24. > :28:27.Through Thursday afternoon, we should see temperatures in double
:28:28. > :28:32.figures in many places. Even with that, it will not yield as nice a
:28:33. > :28:37.day after the lovely blue skies today. In the Friday, we keep the
:28:38. > :28:41.cloud cover and it is not long before the next band the brain such
:28:42. > :28:45.to work its way in overnight. Some of that could be quite heavy for a
:28:46. > :28:49.time. The good news is that it should be largely out of the way
:28:50. > :28:52.overnight, so that the time most of us are waking up to go to work on
:28:53. > :28:58.Friday morning it should be a dry picture. What we will see how these
:28:59. > :29:04.tightly packed isobars. That is a sign of the breeze building. Friday
:29:05. > :29:08.will be a blustery day. A day of sunshine and showers, but also
:29:09. > :29:12.stronger winds. We are in the milder air, so some bright spells in
:29:13. > :29:17.temperatures up into double figures for the showers come through in the
:29:18. > :29:20.afternoon. Contrast the weekend temperatures, which will be up in
:29:21. > :29:25.double figures, to what we saw last weekend. Then we had snow on the
:29:26. > :29:28.ground. But the time you get to the back half of this weekend,
:29:29. > :29:33.temperatures will be up around 13 degrees. They might want to think
:29:34. > :29:36.about putting the boot back in the water!
