:00:00. > 3:59:59exclusive investigation. That's all from BBC News at Six PM. Back with

:00:00. > :00:13.the The headlines on BBC Newsline:

:00:14. > :00:17.The murder of the teenager Arlene Arkinson - the government

:00:18. > :00:20.wants to stop the disclosure of secret documents relating

:00:21. > :00:25.to the case. The number of breast cancer cases

:00:26. > :00:28.has risen dramatically over the last 20 years and there's a warning

:00:29. > :00:43.of many more to come. The cancer number is expected to

:00:44. > :00:46.increase by about two thirds again, by about 65% in 20 years.

:00:47. > :00:48.The biggest electricity supplier is to cut its prices

:00:49. > :00:52.Heroin use - the police say home-grown and foreign criminals

:00:53. > :00:59.The farmer who says he had to shoot several dogs involved in a hunt

:01:00. > :01:13.It's a tall order but after their opening-day draw with Wales, Ireland

:01:14. > :01:15.are in Paris aiming for back-to-back victories in the French capital for

:01:16. > :01:17.the first time in 89 years. And it's time to wrap up

:01:18. > :01:20.for the start of mid-term and Valentine's Day -

:01:21. > :01:25.a cold weekend is looming! First to a significant development

:01:26. > :01:27.relating to the death of Arlene Arkinson, the schoolgirl

:01:28. > :01:31.murdered over 20 years ago. The government is trying to stop top

:01:32. > :01:35.secret documents linked to the case becoming public at the

:01:36. > :01:39.inquest into her death. The 15-year-old from County Tyrone

:01:40. > :01:41.was reported missing after she attended a disco

:01:42. > :01:46.in County Donegal in 1994. She was last seen with the convicted

:01:47. > :01:49.child killer Robert Howard, Howard was acquitted of her murder

:01:50. > :01:56.but always remained A short time ago I asked our home

:01:57. > :02:00.affairs correspondent, Vincent Kearney, how unusual

:02:01. > :02:03.it was for the government to try to stop information on this

:02:04. > :02:17.murder case being made public. This is quite extraordinary. This

:02:18. > :02:23.story is about what are called Public Interest Immunity

:02:24. > :02:26.certificates, normally granted in cases with concerns about national

:02:27. > :02:31.security, to protect methods police used to gather intelligence or

:02:32. > :02:35.informers, so they have been used in court cases during the Troubles but

:02:36. > :02:41.as far as I know they have never been used in a case like this, they

:02:42. > :02:45.killing of a schoolgirl, but I'm Northern Ireland office minister has

:02:46. > :02:50.signed off on one of these certificates to be issued in

:02:51. > :02:55.relation to document link to the death of Arlene Arc and son. She was

:02:56. > :03:01.last seen in the company of child killer Robert Howard, who died in

:03:02. > :03:06.prison last year. Do we know why this application has been made and

:03:07. > :03:11.the information involved? We have no idea and it appears neither do the

:03:12. > :03:16.lawyers for Arlene's family, who want to know what national-security

:03:17. > :03:22.issues could possibly be at stake in the inquest into the telling of a

:03:23. > :03:28.schoolgirl. The inquest is due to get next week. The coroner hearing

:03:29. > :03:33.the inquest will have the final say on whether these documents are

:03:34. > :03:37.released to the public. He will hear arguments from both sides on Tuesday

:03:38. > :03:41.and then decide, but even then we won't get the full story because

:03:42. > :03:48.much of that hearing will be behind closed doors, so the hearing itself

:03:49. > :03:53.will be in secret, and even when the coroner reaches his decision he may

:03:54. > :03:58.not be able to say much about it in public, whatever decision he

:03:59. > :04:05.reaches. In a statement, the Northern Ireland Office said some

:04:06. > :04:07.documents omitted to the court were subject to reductions, which the

:04:08. > :04:13.police said would compromise their ability to bring rapists, murderers

:04:14. > :04:15.and other serious criminals to justice in the future.

:04:16. > :04:18.The number of women being treated for breast cancer has dramatically

:04:19. > :04:20.increased over the last 20 years - figures from the Northern Ireland

:04:21. > :04:24.That's being put down to us living longer, more screening

:04:25. > :04:28.The doctor who led the research warns the health system needs

:04:29. > :04:32.to prepare itself as those figures are set to climb further.

:04:33. > :04:35.BBC Newsline has been speaking to a woman who has been diagnosed

:04:36. > :04:38.with two different types of breast cancer -

:04:39. > :04:43.one of which can go undiagnosed or be misdiagnosed.

:04:44. > :04:45.Our health correspondent, Marie-Louise Connolly,

:04:46. > :04:50.Next week 37-year-old Lynette McHendry is facing

:04:51. > :04:56.She's in the unusual position of having invasive or regular cancer

:04:57. > :05:00.in one breast while inflammatory cancer in the other.

:05:01. > :05:03.The latter went undetected for over a month -

:05:04. > :05:07.that's because no lump showed up on the mammogram.

:05:08. > :05:10.I definitely think there needs to be more awareness.

:05:11. > :05:13.In the medical profession, people need to be advised that this

:05:14. > :05:26.The symptoms I had was a pain in my breast,

:05:27. > :05:31.I had a breast that was maybe twice the normal size.

:05:32. > :05:34.it goes very red and inflamed and the skin can go dimply,

:05:35. > :05:37.so those are the symptoms and there is no lump.

:05:38. > :05:40.Her call for greater awareness of the disease is timely.

:05:41. > :05:45.New figures reveal an overall 53% increase in the number of breast

:05:46. > :05:51.Those who collate the data warn that figure is set to rise further

:05:52. > :05:55.and that the health service should prepare itself.

:05:56. > :05:58.I think the services need to gear themselves up because we have done

:05:59. > :06:02.some work looking at past trends and we see that in total the cancer

:06:03. > :06:07.number is expected to increase by about two-thirds again,

:06:08. > :06:15.After October and the annual breast cancer awareness campaign,

:06:16. > :06:18.services have been under tremendous pressure as more women take up

:06:19. > :06:35.We see a large number of women, nearly 3000 women came to the breast

:06:36. > :06:41.clinic last year and most of those did not have breast cancer and could

:06:42. > :06:46.be discharged quickly. The vast majority of women who are seen with

:06:47. > :06:48.breast cancer are diagnosed and treated well within the 62 day

:06:49. > :06:50.target set for the hospital. According to Lynette,

:06:51. > :06:52.the health service must plan for the expected increase

:06:53. > :06:54.in cancer cases. And as she's experiencing,

:06:55. > :07:04.timing is crucial. Four weeks ago today is when I was

:07:05. > :07:10.diagnosed with the new lump in my right, which was the size of a pea.

:07:11. > :07:14.Last week when I met my surgeon, he examined it and it is now the size

:07:15. > :07:20.of a large grape. How do you feel about this? This new lump has grown

:07:21. > :07:24.and because I know the aggressiveness of the other one, I

:07:25. > :07:25.just want them off, I want surgery now.

:07:26. > :07:27.Lynette says by sharing her private story she's hoping

:07:28. > :07:32.The Assembly Commission says Sinn Fein Assembly Members did

:07:33. > :07:36.nothing wrong when they claimed almost ?700,000 in expenses

:07:37. > :07:40.for research from a company run by the party's finance managers.

:07:41. > :07:43.The Assembly Commission has also cleared the party of wrongdoing

:07:44. > :07:47.in paying office rent to three cultural societies.

:07:48. > :07:51.The police examined allegations made in two BBC Spotlight programmes

:07:52. > :07:55.Sinn Fein had denied doing anything wrong.

:07:56. > :08:00.Here is our political correspondent, Stephen Walker.

:08:01. > :08:04.The Spotlight programmes were broadcast in November 2014.

:08:05. > :08:08.One of the BBC programmes reported that 36 Sinn Fein MLAs claimed

:08:09. > :08:13.about ?700,000 in total through Stormont expenses to pay

:08:14. > :08:18.Research Services Ireland over a ten-year period.

:08:19. > :08:21.However, the programme-makers were not able to find any evidence

:08:22. > :08:25.of research that had been carried out by RSI and one Sinn Fein MLA

:08:26. > :08:29.was reported to have said they had never heard of the company

:08:30. > :08:33.until they saw it on their annual expenses.

:08:34. > :08:36.Jim Allister asked the Assembly Commission how much of the money

:08:37. > :08:41.In response the commission said its review "confirmed that

:08:42. > :08:45.payments for research services, as reported in the programme,

:08:46. > :08:49.were made for admissible expenditure up to and including

:08:50. > :09:02.As such, no recovery has been sought.

:09:03. > :09:10.I was hoping there would be a serious effort to recover the

:09:11. > :09:15.?700,000 of taxpayers money and non-that has happened, whether

:09:16. > :09:19.because of logical inconvenience or not is a matter for speculation but

:09:20. > :09:22.it is appalling that nothing has been done. -- the logical

:09:23. > :09:29.inconvenience. Jim Allister also asked

:09:30. > :09:32.about the disclosure that former DUP assembly speaker William Hay's

:09:33. > :09:34.office claimed more than ?4000 The Assembly Commission said

:09:35. > :09:37."the judicial process is ongoing". Jim Allister also asked

:09:38. > :09:39.about travel expenses. A former Sinn Fein MLA, Davy Hyland,

:09:40. > :09:42.told Spotlight that a party expenses claim form for mileage,

:09:43. > :09:44.amounting to almost ?5,000, The commission found the claim had

:09:45. > :09:48.not been processed "and as such, It added that the PSNI had concluded

:09:49. > :09:53.the matter should not be referred Spotlight also reported that

:09:54. > :09:59.Sinn Fein had paid office rent to three cultural societies

:10:00. > :10:02.even though the BBC could not establish what the societies

:10:03. > :10:07.were or who was behind them. The Assembly Commission

:10:08. > :10:13.said its review confirmed the money was for "admissible expenditure",

:10:14. > :10:16.adding, "as such, no recovery A BBC spokesperson has said:

:10:17. > :10:25."We stand by our journalism. We believe the investigation

:10:26. > :10:29.was of significant public interest." The Lord Chief Justice says

:10:30. > :10:33.remaining legacy inquests can be dealt with within five years

:10:34. > :10:38.if he gets the necessary funding. Sir Declan Morgan was speaking

:10:39. > :10:41.after meeting families of some More than 50 stalled cases

:10:42. > :10:46.were reviewed last month The Lord Chief Justice has proposed

:10:47. > :10:52.setting up a special unit to deal with Troubles-related inquests

:10:53. > :11:14.as he says the existing Coroners We need to establish a new Legacy

:11:15. > :11:17.unit as a matter of urgency. By intention is to start listing cases

:11:18. > :11:24.from September onwards that this will be predicated on the ability of

:11:25. > :11:28.resource. If we are in a position to make progress on this long-standing

:11:29. > :11:34.issue and if we do, it will provide a signal of hope to all victims and

:11:35. > :11:37.survivors that the remaining issues involved in dealing with the past

:11:38. > :11:40.can finally be resolved. Still to come...

:11:41. > :11:43.The farmer who says he had to shoot hunt dogs

:11:44. > :11:49.A majority of Northern Ireland households are set to benefit

:11:50. > :11:55.The Utility Regulator has welcomed a cut in tariffs of

:11:56. > :12:06.Here's our business correspondent, Julian O'Neill.

:12:07. > :12:13.Power Nite supplies around half a million houses, and a cut in Paris

:12:14. > :12:22.will reduce average bills by about ?50,000 a year. The reason is

:12:23. > :12:29.falling fuel prices, making prices cheaper. We're seeing a fall in

:12:30. > :12:35.wholesale oil and gas prices and have captured the benefit of that.

:12:36. > :12:39.Competition is fierce, customers shop around among six suppliers.

:12:40. > :12:44.Power Nite is not the first to adjust prices recently that this is

:12:45. > :12:51.one of the biggest decreases in the UK and Ireland. We are reassured by

:12:52. > :12:59.the fact we still supply 67% of the market. We are one step ahead of the

:13:00. > :13:02.competition with this cut. Business and farm customers will see

:13:03. > :13:06.reductions as well but with prices set to rise later this year, the

:13:07. > :13:08.next announcement could be different.

:13:09. > :13:10.Julian is with me now to talk about news involving one

:13:11. > :13:13.of our major retailing businesses, Chain Reaction Cycles in Ballyclare.

:13:14. > :13:22.We are talking about a rags to riches story, from a small bike shop

:13:23. > :13:27.in eight provincial town to worldwide sales online. It is

:13:28. > :13:32.described as a merger, it looks like Chain Reaction Cycles will join

:13:33. > :13:39.forces with its main British rival, to gather they would create sales

:13:40. > :13:45.annually of about ?300 million across the world. They say that they

:13:46. > :13:50.would complement each other, Chain Reaction Cycles specialising more in

:13:51. > :13:57.mountain bikes, wiggle in road racing. It has to be approved by the

:13:58. > :13:59.competition and market authorities so we may be months away from a

:14:00. > :14:12.deal. It employs 450 people, and wiggle

:14:13. > :14:16.employs those numbers as well. Nothing yet giving commitments about

:14:17. > :14:21.employment jumpers so you imagine there would be uncertainty among the

:14:22. > :14:26.workforces in the months to come. Chain Reaction Cycles described this

:14:27. > :14:33.as an exciting new chapter in its history, a long way away from that

:14:34. > :14:36.first sailed back in 1984 they bike chain for 11p.

:14:37. > :14:39.Good news and bad news tonight for Northern Ireland fans hoping

:14:40. > :14:44.to go to the Euros in France this summer.

:14:45. > :14:48.Today was a big date for Republic fans as they discovered that their

:14:49. > :14:52.applications were successful. An extra 437 tickets have been made

:14:53. > :14:55.available for the opening match But as BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson

:14:56. > :14:59.reports, Uefa are refusing to hand Northern Ireland's first

:15:00. > :15:02.match will be crucial. The game in the south of France

:15:03. > :15:05.is also the most controversial, with many loyal fans

:15:06. > :15:07.missing out on tickets. After a wave of complaints,

:15:08. > :15:10.an extra 800 were made available on Tuesday, then just

:15:11. > :15:12.over 400 more today. No more tickets for the Poland game

:15:13. > :15:31.in Nice or the other matches Never say never, we will carry on

:15:32. > :15:37.talking to Uefa but at this point 1276 for the Poland game is a good

:15:38. > :15:42.result. But you will keep squeezing Uefa headquarters? We will carry on

:15:43. > :15:44.talking but I would not promise anything extra.

:15:45. > :15:47.It's been hit and miss for a lot of fans this week -

:15:48. > :15:51.including those on the DUP benches at Stormont who applied for tickets.

:15:52. > :16:01.David Hilder Scott is. So did Stephen McCree. As did Michelle

:16:02. > :16:07.Michael being, but Jim Wells didn't get his ticket, and neither did

:16:08. > :16:13.William Humphrey. So is there now a split in the party? No tension, just

:16:14. > :16:17.jealousy, but I wish all those supporters all the best, we need to

:16:18. > :16:25.expand the support base for Northern Ireland. In total Northern Ireland

:16:26. > :16:29.fans have about 30,000 tickets for the Euros in France. Many of those

:16:30. > :16:34.without tickets will still go, they may not get into the matches that

:16:35. > :16:35.they will probably get better weather than at home.

:16:36. > :16:37.It's the same for Republic of Ireland fans.

:16:38. > :16:39.They started finding out this afternoon about tickets.

:16:40. > :16:42.Tens of thousands are going to be left diappointed, but it won't stop

:16:43. > :16:49.The sentencing of the prominent republican Thomas "Slab" Murphy

:16:50. > :16:53.for tax evasion will be on the same day as the Republic's election.

:16:54. > :16:57.The alleged former IRA chief of staff, seen here in the cap,

:16:58. > :16:59.was convicted of nine charges at the non-jury

:17:00. > :17:07.The new date means that because of election restrictions,

:17:08. > :17:10.any comment by Sinn Fein about the decision is unlikely

:17:11. > :17:19.The police say local criminals, gangs and others, originally

:17:20. > :17:22.from abroad, are supplying heroin in Northern Ireland.

:17:23. > :17:26.While some people have told BBC Newsline they believe there's

:17:27. > :17:28.a growing heroin problem, the police say there's no evidence

:17:29. > :17:46.This is what a 25 pounds heroin hit looks like. A typical addict uses

:17:47. > :17:51.two of these a day. Police estimate 1500 people here are taking the drug

:17:52. > :17:56.and ten criminal gangs are supplying them. Of the small number who supply

:17:57. > :18:02.heroin, they often work with gangs across the border and most of the

:18:03. > :18:08.heroin that finds its way to our streets originates in the Irish

:18:09. > :18:13.Republic. A combination of local criminals and some from abroad are

:18:14. > :18:18.involved. There were various titles and tag names given to people around

:18:19. > :18:22.these groups, there are foreign national criminal gangs involved in

:18:23. > :18:27.heroin as in other criminality but the myth that that is all who is

:18:28. > :18:32.involved is absolutely false, there are more than enough home-grown

:18:33. > :18:36.individuals are involved, and our commitment is to tackle it. Some

:18:37. > :18:42.organisations believe the heroin problem is getting worse. From a

:18:43. > :18:48.starting point of a static user group we have seen an increase and a

:18:49. > :18:53.new, younger user group coming through, people who might not have

:18:54. > :18:59.become involved are now becoming involved with it. One pharmacist who

:19:00. > :19:04.runs a needle exchange for drug users things heroin is a growing

:19:05. > :19:10.problem. The needle exchange is a dizzy part of our service. My

:19:11. > :19:14.experience is that it shows no signs of decreasing and in the last number

:19:15. > :19:21.of years has pretty significantly increased. But the police say they

:19:22. > :19:27.have no evidence to suggest that trend is a pod. In terms of an

:19:28. > :19:31.escalating problem in Belfast, I don't think that is the case.

:19:32. > :19:36.Figures over the years in terms of people using the drug in the drugs

:19:37. > :19:41.we have seized in the last five or ten years it has pretty much

:19:42. > :19:45.remained constant. In the past four months the police say they have

:19:46. > :19:48.arrested dirty people suspect that of having or supplying the drug. --

:19:49. > :19:51.30 people. A County Down farmer says he had no

:19:52. > :19:54.choice but to shoot several dogs involved in a hunt

:19:55. > :19:56.to protect his sheep. The incident on Alan Sloane's land

:19:57. > :19:59.is being investigated by the local council and the organisation

:20:00. > :20:01.which represents huntsmen. This report from our agriculture

:20:02. > :20:03.and environment correspondent, Conor Macauley, contains

:20:04. > :20:14.images of the dead dogs These are the sheep that the hounds

:20:15. > :20:17.hunted in the field. I have let them out that morning to clean the pen.

:20:18. > :20:19.Alan Sloane shows me the pregnant ewes that were caught up

:20:20. > :20:21.in the incident on his Rathfriland farm.

:20:22. > :20:24.He heard the dogs baying and ran to get his gun.

:20:25. > :20:27.By the time he reached the scene he says 15 sheep were cornered

:20:28. > :20:29.in a field, a large dog making for them -

:20:30. > :20:35.one of ten he says that had come onto his land.

:20:36. > :20:40.There was a big black dog coming across here, heading into corner the

:20:41. > :20:43.sheep and I shot him here. He says the dogs were part of a pack

:20:44. > :20:46.out with a hunt Alan shot two more in them

:20:47. > :20:50.in an adjacent field, where his ?1200 ram and some

:20:51. > :20:52.pregnant horses were. He says he was well

:20:53. > :21:04.within his rights. I had no option. It was let my stock

:21:05. > :21:08.that hunted or should the dogs and the only option was to shoot the

:21:09. > :21:12.dogs. It's the same with any farmer who has livestock in a field, they

:21:13. > :21:14.have to look after their livelihood. Stag hunting has proven

:21:15. > :21:16.controversial in the past, with complaints that the animals can

:21:17. > :21:19.be chased through private property, to the point of exhaustion,

:21:20. > :21:21.and claims that deer are being brought into an area to be

:21:22. > :21:28.released and chased. Two of Alan Sloane's

:21:29. > :21:31.ewes aborted their lambs He fears more of the pregnant

:21:32. > :21:36.ones may do the same. He says his costs could run

:21:37. > :21:39.to a four-figure sum, and he's going to

:21:40. > :21:51.court to get it back. The countryside Alliance, which
