:00:00. > :00:00.for the news where you are. The police have started a fresh
:00:07. > :00:09.search for the body of a young woman, Lisa Dorrian,
:00:10. > :00:11.who was reported Following new information officers
:00:12. > :00:16.moved into an area near Comber 25-year-old Lisa Dorrian
:00:17. > :00:22.from Bangor hasn't been seen since going to a party at a holiday
:00:23. > :00:30.caravan park 11 years ago. It is believed she was murdered
:00:31. > :00:34.but her body has yet to be found. This morning the police cordoned off
:00:35. > :00:37.an area of farmland on the outskirts of Comber and specialist search
:00:38. > :00:44.teams moved in to begin a sweep. In a statement, the PSNI's
:00:45. > :00:47.Serious Crime Branch said that this latest operation is a result
:00:48. > :00:52.of new information being Detectives say that information has
:00:53. > :00:56.been provided by someone who is not The police say the search
:00:57. > :01:01.will involve significant This isn't the first time this piece
:01:02. > :01:08.of land has been searched by police In 2012, hydraulic diggers
:01:09. > :01:15.were brought here as police searched for a car believed to have been used
:01:16. > :01:19.in her murder. At that time, there was no sign
:01:20. > :01:23.of a young woman's body. This morning the police and search
:01:24. > :01:26.teams arrived here in numbers and began a fresh search
:01:27. > :01:31.of the farmland. This operation, which is expected
:01:32. > :01:33.to last several days, is the latest in a long-running
:01:34. > :01:38.and extensive investigation. It will include the use of search
:01:39. > :01:41.teams, body recovery dogs, ground probes and other
:01:42. > :01:45.specialist equipment. While this general area was searched
:01:46. > :01:49.in 2012 when police were looking for a vehicle, this time the search
:01:50. > :01:52.is concentrating on a different section of farmland and research
:01:53. > :02:02.teams are looking for human remains. The inquest began today
:02:03. > :02:04.into the death of another young woman whose body has
:02:05. > :02:06.never been found. Arlene Arkinson, who was 15
:02:07. > :02:08.and from Castlederg, was last seen with child killer
:02:09. > :02:11.Robert Howard when she disappeared He was later acquitted of her murder
:02:12. > :02:15.and died in prison last year. Last week, just three days before
:02:16. > :02:18.the inquest, it was revealed that the government was allowing
:02:19. > :02:20.the police to withhold documents 22 years after she disappeared,
:02:21. > :02:26.her family were looking to find She was the blue-eyed
:02:27. > :02:36.girl of the family. I want people to know
:02:37. > :02:45.the real Arlene. In court, the coroner heard that
:02:46. > :02:48.Arlene was a bright but vulnerable girl who had been sexually abused
:02:49. > :02:50.by her brother-in-law On the night when she disappeared
:02:51. > :02:58.she told them she might be pregnant. Witnesses say that night Arlene
:02:59. > :03:01.was the last of a group of friends to be dropped home after
:03:02. > :03:05.a night out in Donegal. The driver was Robert
:03:06. > :03:08.Howard, then in his 50s. He was acquitted of her murder
:03:09. > :03:12.in 2005 but that jury could not be The court heard that he was
:03:13. > :03:18.an extremely dangerous man capable He had a string of convictions
:03:19. > :03:25.for rape and serious sexual assault, was out on bail at the time
:03:26. > :03:27.of her disappearance and was the last person to be
:03:28. > :03:31.seen with her alive. All the information about the police
:03:32. > :03:34.investigation may not be heard. The PSNI have asked for a immunity
:03:35. > :03:38.certificate to withhold details There are usually only issued
:03:39. > :03:44.in terrorism cases. The family can't understand why one
:03:45. > :03:53.would be issued in this inquest. There's absolutely no
:03:54. > :03:58.reason for it whatsoever. As far as can see, unless some
:03:59. > :04:01.justification can be brought before the court, because ultimately
:04:02. > :04:08.the judge will have the final say. The police say these applications
:04:09. > :04:11.are made in all kinds of cases and although they're committed
:04:12. > :04:14.to transparency that must be balanced with their obligation
:04:15. > :04:17.to maintain the integrity of the methods with which police
:04:18. > :04:20.conduct complex and challenging The full court papers were served
:04:21. > :04:27.today so the judge hasn't yet made a decision about whether or not
:04:28. > :04:29.to withhold information Robert Howard died while serving his
:04:30. > :04:34.prison sentence for the murder of a girl in England years
:04:35. > :04:39.after her disappearance. As this case continues, the family
:04:40. > :04:47.carry their questions with them. The funeral has taken place
:04:48. > :04:49.in Dublin of the man murdered It's believed David Byrne's death
:04:50. > :04:55.was part of a gangland feud which led to another man being shot
:04:56. > :04:59.dead last week. Our Dublin correspondent
:05:00. > :05:14.Shane Harrison reports. David Byrne, who lived near here,
:05:15. > :05:16.was a 33-year-old partner, He was murdered by at least six
:05:17. > :05:20.gunmen at a boxing weigh-in at the Regency airport
:05:21. > :05:22.hotel earlier this month. It was believed to have been carried
:05:23. > :05:25.out by a rival criminal gang linked David Byrne was a major player
:05:26. > :05:30.in a drugs gang. Several members of the Spanish-based
:05:31. > :05:35.family were present. There was also a heavy security
:05:36. > :05:39.presence at this church but no trouble was reported

:06:17. > :06:19.a Church of Ireland event to commemorate the Easter Rising
:06:20. > :06:22.centenary in Dublin later this week. In a statement tonight,
:06:23. > :06:25.Arlene Foster said that Wednesday night's event in Christchurch
:06:26. > :06:27.Cathedral wasn't a commemoration but in line with the type of event
:06:28. > :06:35.she would be happy to attend. A 56-year-old grandmother has been
:06:36. > :06:39.charged with the murder of a man who died after a gun attack
:06:40. > :06:43.in the Divis area of Belfast. As Maggie Taggart reports,
:06:44. > :06:57.the woman's husband has already been Edward Gibson was a 28 your old

:07:15. > :07:17.charged with the murder and is also accused of possessing a firearm and
:07:18. > :07:20.ammunition in suspicious circumstances. Her solicitor said
:07:21. > :07:24.she had been arrested and interviewed by the police last year
:07:25. > :07:30.and released without charge. The court heard that new game a evidence
:07:31. > :07:33.has come to light but is a defence solicitor called it one piece of
:07:34. > :07:37.circumstantial DNA. They choose woman had been arrested after going
:07:38. > :07:42.to the police voluntarily. Police opposed bail for Mrs Goodman, whose
:07:43. > :07:47.husband is already charged with the murder. An officer said there was a
:07:48. > :07:50.risk she could abscond. Her solicitor described her as a mother
:07:51. > :07:54.of seven and a grandmother of 20 with strong link to the community.
:07:55. > :07:59.There was granted but she will have to wear an electronic tag abide by a

:08:05. > :08:07.are going overseas to find work in the industry.
:08:08. > :08:11.Jobs like milking cows in the Middle East and helping out
:08:12. > :08:14.with the English harvest are increasingly the only options
:08:15. > :08:26.He has a contract with a major supermarket and isn't in debt

:08:31. > :08:36.He says his profit from each of these animals is down by ?100.
:08:37. > :08:39.That means that belts must be tightened across the board.
:08:40. > :08:42.It also means he can't afford to pay a decent wage to his 20-year-old
:08:43. > :08:48.son, who like many of his friends is leaving to look for work.
:08:49. > :08:51.There are lots of people I know whose sons and daughters have left.

:09:50. > :09:53.Beef and sheep farms like here, they are getting by on around

:10:03. > :10:06.by on an average income of around ?10,000.
:10:07. > :10:10.A drop of 78% on last year's figures.
:10:11. > :10:14.That's reflected in farm families looking for help.
:10:15. > :10:16.Whether it's 30,000 overdraft or 200,000 overdraft,
:10:17. > :10:18.we're finding across-the-board lots of problems.
:10:19. > :10:21.And in an election year, this will be a key issue
:10:22. > :10:29.There's no question it will be on the lips of every farming family.
:10:30. > :10:35.There's lots of apathy and despair about the downturn in farming.

:11:31. > :11:34.Belfast. I went for table tennis. Singles. The atmosphere was good but
:11:35. > :11:37.it was very warm. Had to keep drinking loads of fluids.

:11:56. > :12:04.Hello. A lovely start the week, if not chilly. As usual, things are
:12:05. > :12:07.going to change. We have a couple of wet and windy spells heading our
:12:08. > :12:11.way. The first tomorrow, the next towards the end of the week. In
:12:12. > :12:16.between it'll become drier again through the middle part of the week
:12:17. > :12:21.but it will also be that bit chilly. It has been a cold start of the
:12:22. > :12:24.night, frosting places but it's only temporary. We'll have increasing
:12:25. > :12:28.amounts of cloud, breeze picking up from the south and as a result the
:12:29. > :12:35.bridges will rise. Tomorrow, Atlantic weather it systems had our
:12:36. > :12:39.way. Tightly packed isobars show strengthening winds. The word go, it
:12:40. > :12:45.will be pretty and eventually it will turn wet as well. It will be a
:12:46. > :12:47.mainly dry start the day and could be deceptively bright freight time

:12:54. > :12:57.That rain the whole island of Ireland as we had through the day.
:12:58. > :13:02.Wet and windy for western Scotland, then it is now in the hills. There
:13:03. > :13:07.could be some travel disruption here. Probably not reaching the East
:13:08. > :13:12.of Scotland until the evening time and for much of England and Wales
:13:13. > :13:15.it's mainly dry. For Northern Ireland, not very the afternoon, wet
:13:16. > :13:20.and windy, heavy and persistent bursts of rain not very pleasant on
:13:21. > :13:23.the roads. Eyes of a degree is the feeling cooler in the wind and rain.
:13:24. > :13:25.That rain moves away later tomorrow night. A bit drier but chilly for
:13:26. > :13:28.Wednesday.
