:01:59. > :02:01.Anthony McErlain was well-known to many people around this coastal

:02:09. > :02:13.wouldn't have passed you in the street without speaking -- just a
:02:14. > :02:18.bubbly character. Always had a wave and a smile. We were chatting about
:02:19. > :02:22.the old days back at school. Police are trying to find out more details
:02:23. > :02:27.about his last hours alive, particularly around this area
:02:28. > :02:31.between 5pm and 8:30pm yesterday evening. Forensic officers have been
:02:32. > :02:34.at the scene all day, carrying out examinations. It's still not known
:02:35. > :02:38.for sure how many people were in the flat at the time, but what is
:02:39. > :02:43.certain, one man is dead and another was arrested on suspicion of murder.

:03:09. > :03:24.of the damage was clear to see, For some, it was a little too close
:03:25. > :03:29.for comfort. An incredibly lucky escape for the motorist caught up in
:03:30. > :03:33.this. And our's drive away and yet more damage, with winds-macro of up
:03:34. > :03:38.to 85 miles an hour. It is clear to see the sheer force of Storm
:03:39. > :03:43.Gertrude. A tree wedged up against a house. Imagine waking up to this. It
:03:44. > :03:46.was quite frightening at 5am in the morning, when you are waking out of
:03:47. > :03:51.your sleep and you heard an almighty crash. We thought the roof had caved
:03:52. > :03:55.in, but fortunately it may not be as bad as we first anticipated, you
:03:56. > :03:59.know? Hopefully when they get the tree removed there won't be too much
:04:00. > :04:06.damage, when we get a contract to check it out. From Hollywood in
:04:07. > :04:11.County Down to the dark ages of County Antrim, Gertrude struck a
:04:12. > :04:15.swathe across the country. These trees have been here for quite some
:04:16. > :04:19.time, since the 18th century. They're one of the most photographed
:04:20. > :04:23.places in Northern Ireland. They have even featured in Game of
:04:24. > :04:29.Thrones, but not even these could withstand the strength of Storm
:04:30. > :04:34.Gertrude. I think the wind direction brought two big ones at the end and
:04:35. > :04:37.has damaged one behind me, but it's sad to see. I would come down
:04:38. > :04:41.normally after a storm. This morning I wasn't sure it was too bad because
:04:42. > :04:47.the last couple of times there have been no trees down but there are
:04:48. > :04:50.some down today. At its height, 18,000 homes and businesses were
:04:51. > :04:54.without electricity but NIE has the ground covered. It's extremely
:04:55. > :04:58.difficult to get the some of the sites, we have danger from falling
:04:59. > :05:03.debris and trees, we have dangers from broken poles and when we are
:05:04. > :05:07.going into fields, sometimes it's difficult to get access through
:05:08. > :05:10.small lanes. We obviously have to be careful when we are working at
:05:11. > :05:14.height, so we take complete consideration of the risks before we
:05:15. > :05:19.start a piece of work. We're not out of the woods yet. There is still a
:05:20. > :05:22.wind warning in place and with snow on its way NIE's 150 emergency crews
:05:23. > :05:26.are on stand-by and ready to go. The Chief Constable George Hamilton
:05:27. > :05:29.has confirmed that he plans to bring in detectives from outside
:05:30. > :05:31.Northern Ireland to investigate claims that a man alleged to have
:05:32. > :05:34.been the Army's most high ranking agent within the IRA,
:05:35. > :05:37.was involved in up to 50 murders. The investigation into
:05:38. > :05:40.the activities of the agent, codenamed Stakeknife, is expected
:05:41. > :05:44.to take at least five years. Our home affairs correspondent
:05:45. > :05:56.Vincent Kearney has the details. The investigation into the alleged
:05:57. > :06:01.activities of this man could be the largest ever in Northern Ireland.
:06:02. > :06:04.Former West Belfast man Freddie Scappaticci is alleged to have been
:06:05. > :06:09.the Army agent codenamed Stakeknife. It's claimed he was a member of the
:06:10. > :06:16.IRA's internal security unit and was involved in up to 50 killings. He
:06:17. > :06:18.denies the allegations. Three months ago, the Director of Public
:06:19. > :06:23.Prosecutions announced he had instructed the Chief Constable to
:06:24. > :06:28.launch an investigation into the agents -- agent's alleged
:06:29. > :06:31.activities. I've outlined today extremely serious matters, perhaps
:06:32. > :06:39.the most significant in my time as DPP. I have not taken the steps to
:06:40. > :06:43.commence investigations lightly. Relatives of some of Stakeknife's
:06:44. > :06:47.alleged victims say they didn't trust the PSNI to conduct the
:06:48. > :06:51.investigation and launched legal action in a bid to stop that
:06:52. > :06:57.happening. At a court hearing this morning, it was announced that PSNI
:06:58. > :07:00.does not want to be involved. A barrister for the PSNI told the
:07:01. > :07:04.court that Chief Constable George Hamilton has concluded that his
:07:05. > :07:08.preferred option is to bring in external police officers to conduct
:07:09. > :07:12.the investigation. He didn't give any details about the enquiry, but I
:07:13. > :07:17.understand it is expected to cost around ?5 million a year and to take
:07:18. > :07:21.at least five years to complete. Some of the relatives who took the
:07:22. > :07:25.legal action were in court today. They included the daughter of
:07:26. > :07:30.Caroline Moreland, the IRA claimed the 34-year-old mother of three was
:07:31. > :07:34.an informer and shot her dead in 1994. Her daughter and her legal
:07:35. > :07:38.representative welcomed the PSNI statement but say they want
:07:39. > :07:45.assurances that the investigating team won't report to the Chief
:07:46. > :07:50.Constable. We don't know where they are coming from, whom they are, we
:07:51. > :07:54.don't want them under the PSNI. There are a lot of questions about
:07:55. > :07:58.it. We don't know the actual structure of the investigation, the
:07:59. > :08:03.team and the oversight of the team. If there is an element of
:08:04. > :08:07.involvement from the PSNI, then as an oversight we wouldn't see that as
:08:08. > :08:12.wholly independent. The families say they are -- they will continue that
:08:13. > :08:17.legal action to prevent the PSNI having any role. The big question
:08:18. > :08:20.now is who will pay for this investigation if the PSNI requires
:08:21. > :08:24.additional funding. The Chief Constable has had discussions with
:08:25. > :08:25.the Department of Justice and the Northern Ireland Office, but so far
:08:26. > :08:30.neither has agreed to foot the bill. And coming up on the programme: How
:08:31. > :08:35.mums and dads are going back to school to help their
:08:36. > :08:44.children learn to read. A Cloughmills mother whose son
:08:45. > :08:47.was killed while walking to school said he might still be
:08:48. > :08:50.alive if she had not been Sarah Hanna, who had been highly
:08:51. > :08:54.critical of the Education Board, appeared today for sentencing,
:08:55. > :09:10.having admitted driving It was in November 2014,
:09:11. > :09:13.eight-year-old Adam Gilmour was with his mother and five siblings when
:09:14. > :09:20.they were hit from behind while walking to school along the Loughill
:09:21. > :09:24.Road near their Cloughmills home. A month earlier the children's mother,
:09:25. > :09:28.Sarah Hanna, had urged the Education Board to keep children safe by
:09:29. > :09:33.providing transport. And she laid the blame for her son Adam's death
:09:34. > :09:38.squarely with the board. It's emerged that two months before the
:09:39. > :09:41.fatal accident, Sarah Hanna was caught driving while banned on the
:09:42. > :09:45.way back from school. She pleaded guilty to driving while
:09:46. > :09:49.disqualified, driving without insurance, and taking her mother's
:09:50. > :09:53.people carrier without permission. Today, she admitted that had she not
:09:54. > :09:58.been banned from driving her son Adam would still be here. The
:09:59. > :10:00.34-year-old was banned from driving for a year and given a three-month
:10:01. > :10:04.jail term, suspended for a year. A senior judge has said that it's
:10:05. > :10:08.in the interests of the people of Northern Ireland to deal
:10:09. > :10:10.with contentious cases linked Over the last two weeks
:10:11. > :10:14.Lord Justice Weir has been assessing more than 50 stalled cases,
:10:15. > :10:31.which relate to almost 100 deaths Before Lord Justice Weir today, the
:10:32. > :10:40.case of a teenager killed at this west Belfast bar 1972. A Catholic
:10:41. > :10:45.RUC officer shot dead in 1977. The man murdered by the LVF, as he
:10:46. > :10:50.walked home from the pub, and the 2005 killing of a 20-year-old, shot
:10:51. > :10:54.at his home he shared with his partner and children. This was the
:10:55. > :10:59.final day of Lord Justice Weir's review into 56 cases that have
:11:00. > :11:05.spanned the troubles. Over the last two weeks the issue of how these
:11:06. > :11:09.investigations can be resourced has been a constant. Today, it was the
:11:10. > :11:14.turn of the police ombudsman's office. During a hearing into the
:11:15. > :11:21.UVF murder of 20-year-old Craig McCausland and 2005, a lawyer for
:11:22. > :11:24.the ombudsman's of his was both and both and resourced and underfunded
:11:25. > :11:28.-- his office was both under resourced and underfunded, and the
:11:29. > :11:32.case was complex now it was being linked to three loyalist murders and
:11:33. > :11:37.he would need a dedicated team and promises to properly investigate it.
:11:38. > :11:41.But for the family of Sergeant Joel Campbell it was a lack of will in
:11:42. > :11:44.the past, rather than a lack of money that was the obstacle. They
:11:45. > :11:50.now believe the police collusion in their case is a little nearer to
:11:51. > :11:54.being uncovered. The passage of time doesn't diminish these things. It
:11:55. > :12:00.doesn't make them any easier at all. I think the judge himself is a man
:12:01. > :12:05.who seems to have a lot of empathy with the people who are appearing
:12:06. > :12:10.before him. He certainly is very businesslike, in moving along all
:12:11. > :12:15.the state agencies to do what they should do and to do what they should
:12:16. > :12:19.have done years ago. Over ten days of review hearings, Lord Justice
:12:20. > :12:24.Weir has been highly critical of how slow both the Ministry of Defence
:12:25. > :12:28.and the PSNI have been to hand over documents. But today, in his summing
:12:29. > :12:33.up, he thanked everyone involved and said that this process was an
:12:34. > :12:37.important one for everyone, not just the next of kin, but for the people
:12:38. > :12:38.of Northern Ireland who want to see this chapter of life dealt with
:12:39. > :12:59.properly and put to rest. County Antrim teenager has to his
:13:00. > :13:03.differences with privacy action on confidential terms and there was no
:13:04. > :13:07.admission of liability by Twitter. The boy's lawyers are also seeking
:13:08. > :13:10.to sue Google for negligence and there are three separate lawsuits

:13:44. > :13:49.I was in the middle of brushing my teeth before going to bed. I was

:19:40. > :19:45.halfway up the roof as well. When the fire brigade was called at first
:19:46. > :19:48.they thought it was a hoax, but when a crew from Bravo Watch in Omagh

:20:48. > :20:50.of their trip to Italy. Stuart Olding will make his first
:20:51. > :20:52.appearance for Ulster The centre has been named
:20:53. > :20:56.in the starting fifteen for the Pro The 22-year-old Ireland
:20:57. > :20:59.international has missed most of the last two seasons
:21:00. > :21:14.with serious knee injuries. Stuart Olding has had a lot of time
:21:15. > :21:18.to stop and think in his short professional career. Latch -- last
:21:19. > :21:23.March, just two minutes into his comeback game, he seriously damaged
:21:24. > :21:26.his knee. The young centre left the field on a stretcher, facing surgery
:21:27. > :21:33.and another long spell on the sidelines. Ten months later and he
:21:34. > :21:41.is back. Making a scoring return for the Ulster a team last weekend. It's
:21:42. > :21:45.a massive relief to get back out. It was ten months, all the hard work
:21:46. > :21:51.paid off. It was tough enough. I had great support from the staff and the
:21:52. > :21:56.physios and coaches, I knew had that backing behind me and I'd come back
:21:57. > :22:00.a better player. He's due back in the fold, I know for him he is
:22:01. > :22:03.pleased he has got through his first game and I wish him luck going
:22:04. > :22:07.forward in terms of his injuries. I think he is over it now and we are
:22:08. > :22:11.looking forward to a good finish for the year for him. And Stuart Olding
:22:12. > :22:16.can hit the ground running -- running in the coming weeks. The
:22:17. > :22:22.lads are in the six Nations, it gives me a chance and I will put my
:22:23. > :22:26.hand up for selection and get behind the rest of the guys who are playing
:22:27. > :22:30.unbelievably well. Just to get in there and put my hand up. And where
:22:31. > :22:33.better to start than away in Treviso against a side who have lost 25
:22:34. > :22:35.games in a row? In Gaelic football the Allianz
:22:36. > :22:38.Leagues start this weekend. Most of the games take place
:22:39. > :22:41.on Sunday - but the action begins in Newry as Donegal travel
:22:42. > :22:52.to Down in Division One. There's a theory out there. If you
:22:53. > :22:56.want to win the All Ireland you have to be playing in division one. Since
:22:57. > :22:59.the league was restructured back in 2008, all the sides who collected
:23:00. > :23:05.Sam Maguire have finished in the top six of the league. If you go by
:23:06. > :23:10.statistics that's the way to look it but on a personal front for Donegal
:23:11. > :23:14.you want to play the top teams in the country, the eight teams that
:23:15. > :23:17.are in division one at the minute, you have the top eight teams and you
:23:18. > :23:21.are putting your wits against the best out there and you will
:23:22. > :23:23.challenge yourself every week and the team that comes out of the
:23:24. > :23:28.National Football League with better form behind them cease to do well in
:23:29. > :23:35.the provisional Championships. -- seems to do well. One side hoping to
:23:36. > :23:39.do that is Down, division one new boys in 2016. It's massive, if you
:23:40. > :23:43.are playing division one football it's a steep learning curve,
:23:44. > :23:47.especially for the younger lads coming in. You are playing against
:23:48. > :23:50.the cream of the crop. A lot of people were tipping is to get
:23:51. > :23:53.relegated to division three last year so a surprise for what are the
:23:54. > :23:57.people that we got into division one. I'm sure at the same time a lot
:23:58. > :24:01.of people are probably thinking we will slip back down into two, so
:24:02. > :24:04.it's a massive challenge to stay in the division but there are great
:24:05. > :24:06.games to look forward to. It starts with Donegal awaited Down this
:24:07. > :24:09.Saturday. And there'll be live coverage
:24:10. > :24:12.of the games on Saturday and Sunday Warrenpoint Town are
:24:13. > :24:15.on an impressive unbeaten run, which has tightened up
:24:16. > :24:17.the relegation battle at the foot And a win tomorrow at Dungannon
:24:18. > :24:31.could take them off the bottom Over the past few weeks Warrenpoint
:24:32. > :24:36.Town have taken great strides in their battle to avoid relegation. An
:24:37. > :24:40.unbeaten run of six games has dragged them closer to safety.
:24:41. > :24:49.Everyone has written is off, some might even say we wrote ourselves
:24:50. > :24:53.off at times in the bad weeks but it certainly is the label of the great
:24:54. > :24:56.escape, there's a long way to go yet. I don't think we have earned
:24:57. > :25:01.the right to be talking about safety, because at this minute in
:25:02. > :25:07.time we are still there. If we pull it off, full credit to the players
:25:08. > :25:13.because they keep going and it's them that have turned it around.
:25:14. > :25:19.Warrenpoint's next three games are against the sides immediately above
:25:20. > :25:22.them in the premiership. They face Dungannon on Saturday. These are the
:25:23. > :25:27.important fixtures coming in now, you are picking up points and taking
:25:28. > :25:30.teams off those around you. We need to play professionally and get
:25:31. > :25:34.everyone in the right frame of mind going into the games. If they
:25:35. > :25:35.continue on their run premiership survival will be the prize at the
:25:36. > :25:37.end of the season. Final Score will have all the goals
:25:38. > :25:40.- that's BBC One tomorrow And at the same time over on BBC Two
:25:41. > :25:47.it's Treviso v Ulster. Now we have the weather. We had the
:25:48. > :25:56.wind and now we Now we have the weather. We had the
:25:57. > :26:00.wind and now we are expecting snow? It's getting colder in the wake of
:26:01. > :26:04.Storm Gertrude, which has caused disruption, power supplies, trees
:26:05. > :26:09.down and even the odd flying bunny! Quite widely we had gusts of 60-70
:26:10. > :26:14.miles an hour. The highest, 85 miles an hour. The winds have come down a
:26:15. > :26:18.little bit since then but there are noteworthy through the next 24
:26:19. > :26:22.hours, 50-60 miles an hour could be disruptive, and on top of that
:26:23. > :26:25.combines we have snow and ice. Through this evening we start of the
:26:26. > :26:29.transition to the really cold air. Most of this is initially showery
:26:30. > :26:32.rain as sad -- but as the temperatures start of all we get
:26:33. > :26:37.snow on the hills. It's in behind the band of rain but temperatures
:26:38. > :26:41.tumble. Really cold air coming in. Frequent showers across Northern
:26:42. > :26:45.Ireland, and they will fall to low levels, a few centimetres likely in
:26:46. > :26:49.places and becoming quite icy. Given the gusty winds if you're up on the
:26:50. > :26:54.hints that -- if you're up on the hills there could be many blizzard
:26:55. > :26:57.conditions. Into the weekend, a bitterly cold start, some snow
:26:58. > :27:02.showers around. Throughout the weekend it will feel cold but it
:27:03. > :27:06.will turn to -- it will try to turn milder on Sunday but it will be a
:27:07. > :27:10.slow process. Strong, gusty winds are with us tomorrow, sleet and snow
:27:11. > :27:14.showers. Quite a few others will wake to a covering of snow and with
:27:15. > :27:17.further sleet and snow showers falling through the date it adds to
:27:18. > :27:22.what is already there. We will find the showers more frequent across
:27:23. > :27:25.northern and western parts, but the winds are strong enough to bring
:27:26. > :27:29.showers further inland and towards the south and east. There will be
:27:30. > :27:32.sunshine in between, but winter sunshine, not warm at all.
:27:33. > :27:37.Temperatures at best around three degrees. There will be a distinct
:27:38. > :27:42.wind chill. Through tomorrow evening and tomorrow night the winds start
:27:43. > :27:46.to ease down for a time but is still cold. There will be icy patches,
:27:47. > :27:51.further showers of sleet and snow. Sunday morning, a cold, damp start,
:27:52. > :27:55.a mixture of rain, sleet and snow by that stage. Through the day most of
:27:56. > :28:00.it will be turning to rain as the temperatures come up. It is a slow
:28:01. > :28:03.process and the winds eventually pick up and that is ahead of what
:28:04. > :28:05.could potentially be another stormy spell as we go into Monday. It looks
:28:06. > :28:09.like a cold one. Our late summary is at 10:30pm.You
:28:10. > :28:13.can also keep in contact with us
