Two men have been arrested following a violent confrontation | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
in West Belfast tonight which left three people in hospital. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
They're said to be in a stable condition. | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
An eye witness to the incident on the Andersonstown Road described | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
how hammers were among the weapons used. | :00:22. | :00:22. | |
Martin Cassidy reports from the scene. | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
It was here on this main thoroughfare in West Belfast | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
where three men were injured in a violent altercation | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Police say they responded to the incident shortly after six | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
Two men were detained and are in police custody. | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
They have been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
with intent and possession of an offensive weapon. | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
An eye witness described seeing a bloody confrontation between men | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
The bats came out and they were out on the road and they were swinging. | :00:54. | :01:14. | |
There was hammers as well. They were just beating each other about the | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
road and they had each other down on the ground and all you could see was | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
blood everywhere. I felt quite sick seeing it. It wasn't nice. It was | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
terrifying to see. It's not clear what provoked | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
the incident. Tonight police have retrieved a car | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
from the scene and appealed A key witness in the Arlene Arkinson | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
inquest has admitted lying Patricia Quinn was in a relationship | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
with the murder suspect Robert Howard at the time | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
and gave him an alibi for the night "Do you know what the truth is?" | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
That's what lawyers for the Arkinson She had told police | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
she was with Robert Howard In court today she said at the time | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
she thought "it was only a wee white She forcefully denied being his | :02:06. | :02:20. | |
girlfriend. She said he was more She said, he had no more interest in | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
me and the man on the moon. All other | :02:28. | :02:39. | |
witnesses said this was not true She told the Coroner that Howard | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
drove to a country road near Pettigoe to look for his watch | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
just days after Arlene went missing. He then told her, "I've got secrets | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
and I'm going to keep them." But she said she only | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
realised he was dangerous after he locked her up for two days, | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
a year after Arlene disappeared. She claims he kept the keys down | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
the front of his trousers but she managed to escape | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
after slipping sleeping pills She also claimed not to remember | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
another teenager coming to her in the middle of the night before she | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
disappeared saying she had been Lawyers for the Arkinson family | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
and for the police each picked holes Shouting out, she told | :03:09. | :03:17. | |
the Coroner's Court, "I'm not arguing with you no more, | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
for I'm just fed up with it." It is up to the Coroner to decide | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
if Patricia Quinn is telling the truth when she said she doesn't | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
know what happened to Arlene Over a third of the teaching staff | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
at one of the largest schools There was a similar situation | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
at De La Salle College Our education correspondent | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
Robbie Meredith reports. If there was a roll call | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
for teachers rather than pupils at De La Salle College | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
today, it would throw up My understanding is that today | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
around two dozen That's out of a full-time | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
teaching staff of around 70. A few staff in any school of such | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
a size may be off sick, some even with long-term problems, | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
at any particular time. But such a high number | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
of staff being absent It's been a difficult | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
period for the school over BBC Newsline first reported problems | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
in the school last year. Since then there have been a number | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
of meetings between the Board of Governors, the Council | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
for Catholic Maintained Schools and the teaching unions | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
to address a range of issues. A Strategy Group was set up | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
to oversee a "formal renewal" The plan that group drew up included | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
a range of actions including. A review of the school's pastoral | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
care including "safeguarding/pupil discipline procedures." A review | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
of staff welfare policy. Mechanisms "for raising | :04:49. | :04:49. | |
and resolving staff concerns The plan also said that | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
"there should be no ultimatums, threats or vetos" as part | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
of the process, and that there should be no communication | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
with the media. But I understand that there have | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
been delays in the implementation And that's in part responsible | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
for the high levels of staff absence in the school, | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
including a number of senior staff. I understand part of the school has | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
also had to be closed to pupils today, due to health | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
and safety concerns. Some parents are worried that | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
pupils' preparation for some GCSE The INTO union, which represents | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
the majority of teachers, say they are now considering further | :05:27. | :05:37. | |
targeted industrial In a statement, the school principal | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
Claire White said they were actively managing the situation | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
and would work closely with the relevant bodies, | :05:45. | :05:45. | |
including the trade unions, The police are appealing for help | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
in catching a rapist who attacked He pulled his victim | :05:48. | :05:58. | |
into his car as she walked along the Sydenham Bypass | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
between Dee Street and the airport between 10 and 11 o'clock | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
on Saturday night. She later escaped and he drove | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
off towards Holywood. The First and Deputy First Ministers | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
are in the United States as they begin to promote | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
Northern Ireland's reduced rate From 2018 companies that invest | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
here will pay 12.5% tax on their profits - | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
the same as the Republic. Our Economics and Business Editor | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
John Campbell reports from the Ministers' first | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
stop on their trip - The people who work in these | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
buildings make investment decisions which can move money | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
and jobs all over the world. A little of that has | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
come to Northern Ireland but Executive Ministers | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
think they can get more. Arlene Foster and Martin McGuinness | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
are here to promote the 12.5% rate The message is simple - | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
come to Northern Ireland and you can We are moving ahead in terms | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
of our tax offering. We have the talent and value, | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
so it is about selling Northern Ireland to people | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
who might not have heard the story From our perspective, | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
the decision we took in the context of the Fresh Start Agreement | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
was all about us trying to ensure we could employ something | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
in the region of between 30 A new promotional video | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
is understated in its description And the attractive tax regime | :07:25. | :07:35. | |
is getting even better... Corporate tax has become | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
a controversial election issue There's been criticism of firms | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
which have relocated their headquarters to Dublin | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
to cut their tax bills. One of the critics is the woman | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
who's likely to be fighting Donald Trump to be | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
the next president. Now that Johnson is back on its feet | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
they are gaming the system and moving profits to Ireland | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
so they can avoid paying taxes But the senior executive who hosted | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
today's event said those type If you look at the proposed | :08:09. | :08:21. | |
legislation in Northern Ireland, it is focused on training companies | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
who are doing business. Coupled with the other | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
attractive propositions within Northern Ireland, | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
the tax is just one component and I think businesses will look | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
at that and look clearly In 90 days time the Northern Ireland | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
football team will play their first game in the European | :08:40. | :08:47. | |
Championships in France. The Republic's opening game | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
is the following day. BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson takes | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
a look at what the Northern Ireland fans can expect as they | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
travel around France. It is quite a journey, | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
covering more than half the length of France and taking in the three | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
cities where Northern Ireland play their group games, | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
Nice, Lyon and Paris. I have been on this road trip and it | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
all began beside the sea. You have got the sunshine | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
and the seaside. For a Northern Ireland fan it | :09:16. | :09:28. | |
doesn't get much better than this. Also, wait till you see | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
the football stadium. Believe it or not this | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
is the smallest stadium It has only around 35,000 seats, | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
but when the team come out here to start their campaign | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
on Sunday the 12th of June, all the fans will be pretty | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
close to the action. That end will be a sea of green | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
and knowing Northern Ireland fans, other parts of the | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
stadium will be too. We are very proud to have some green | :10:02. | :10:02. | |
in the stadium and we have it in another way because we are | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
a green and eco-friendly stadium. After Nice it is a long | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
five Hour drive. To here, Lyon, for the second match | :10:10. | :10:24. | |
against the Ukraine. It is the third-largest city | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
in the whole of France. It is also the city | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
which is the closest In this small country town | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
they are bringing the local pitch up People here are very | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
excited about the Euros, so who will they be supporting, | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
France or Northern Ireland? My heart is in France and maybe I am | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
very happy that Northern Ireland I will support Northern | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
Ireland, of course. The final destination for the fans | :10:59. | :11:11. | |
is almost 300 miles from Lyon, At the home of the Paris St Germain, | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
the game against the world champions One more thing, the fan zone | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
in Paris is the mother It will have room for more | :11:25. | :11:32. | |
than 120,000 people. And what's more, it | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
is dead easy to find. With all this travelling | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
the Northern Ireland team Thankfully I have already been | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
given a guided tour. Find out more on tomorrow's | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
BBC Newsline. On tomorrow evening's programme, | :11:47. | :11:57. | |
BBC Newsline's Tara Mills meets a man who spent more than 50 years | :11:58. | :11:59. | |
living on a ward in Muckamore Abbey He's deaf and doesn't speak, | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
but is now living in the community The latest weather forecast | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
is next with Cecilia Daly. If you like sunshine, | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
you can't really complain Fortunately high pressure | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
will continue to keep things drive Mostly quite mild | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
in the afternoons, Towards the end of the week, | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
we are likely to pick up more cloud, so the rest of the | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
sunshine over the next As a result it will get cold, | :12:30. | :12:31. | |
especially in the West. Temperatures could drop | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
as low as two or three First thing tomorrow it | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
will certainly feel chilly. There may be some | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
early morning cloud. Quite chilly to begin with, | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
once again the breeze is coming Some Eastern counties will feel | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
quite cold at times. You really need to get | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
into the West to get some shelter from that breeze | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
and enjoy the sunshine at its best. Likewise across the West | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
of Scotland, West Wales, Western counties of | :12:59. | :13:00. | |
England, that's where the best of the temperatures | :13:01. | :13:01. | |
will be, whereas close to the North Sea coasts | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
there will be more cloud and temperatures will | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
be in single figures. 11 or 12 Celsius in most places | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
tomorrow afternoon across Northern That is just a little | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
bit down today. Our highest temperatures | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
are likely in the West where there is the best shelter | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
from that cool breeze. On Wednesday it should | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
be another fine day. A little bit more cloud around | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
but still a good deal of sunshine. Then as we head towards | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
St Patrick's Day on Thursday, it continues dry but there is likely | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
to be more cloud and the best Our next BBC Newsline is at 6:25am | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
in the morning during | :13:36. | :13:47. |
