:00:00. > :00:09.A 28-year-old man's been charged with the murder

:00:10. > :00:18.The 38-year-old died in a care facility last year after being left

:00:35. > :00:37.The high-profile Republican Sean Kelly has been arrested

:00:38. > :00:39.and questioned in connection with the murder of a man

:00:40. > :00:44.Kelly was convicted of the Shankill bombing in October 1993

:00:45. > :00:48.in which ten people died, including one of the bombers.

:00:49. > :00:53.The body of 31-year-old Conor McKee was found by his mother at his home

:00:56. > :01:01.The outgoing head of one of Northern Ireland's

:01:02. > :01:05.most prestigious grammar schools has written an unprecedented statement

:01:06. > :01:08.containing outspoken criticism of his successor.

:01:09. > :01:11.The letter, obtained by the BBC, was sent by the current headmaster

:01:12. > :01:18.of Portora Royal in Enniskillen to parents of pupils.

:01:19. > :01:20.Portora is due to merge with the Collegiate Grammar School

:01:21. > :01:26.Here's our south-west reporter Julian Fowler.

:01:27. > :01:29.The amalgamation of two Enniskillen grammar schools has divided

:01:30. > :01:30.the community for more than a decade.

:01:31. > :01:32.The dispute saw a petition with thousands of signatures

:01:33. > :01:40.It was finally settled earlier this year when the High Court rejected

:01:41. > :01:42.a judicial review from a Collegiate pupil, although the judge said

:01:43. > :01:46.in reality the challenge was brought by the school's leadership as part

:01:47. > :01:50.of their determined opposition to close the school.

:01:51. > :01:54.Neil Morton has been headmaster at Portora for 14 years.

:01:55. > :01:57.He had fought for the creation of the new school -

:01:58. > :02:01.Instead Elizabeth Armstrong - the Collegiate prinicpal -

:02:02. > :02:08.In his letter to parents, Dr Morton criticises Ms Armstrong

:02:09. > :02:15.for her "implacable opposition" to amalgamation which he says

:02:16. > :02:16.much bitterness might have been avoided,

:02:17. > :02:18.and new schools in Enniskillen already built, if she had

:02:19. > :02:23.He adds that fighting the legal challenge cost the school ?35,000

:02:24. > :02:26.and at least twice that amount to the public purse.

:02:27. > :02:28.The Department of Education confirmed its costs

:02:29. > :02:38.Dr Morton said sending the letter was not a case of sour grapes.

:02:39. > :02:40.It is obviously a move which reflects on personal

:02:41. > :02:44.disappointment but it is a professional issue.

:02:45. > :02:49.The issue is that the person who was responsible for ten years

:02:50. > :02:52.along with others for delaying this amalgamation and all

:02:53. > :02:59.the consequences of that for the students in for a manner,

:03:00. > :03:01.the consequences of that for the students in Fermanagh,

:03:02. > :03:03.new buildings, new curriculum, everything was delayed

:03:04. > :03:06.Elizabeth Armstrong said she would prefer not

:03:07. > :03:21.By September, the name will have changed DNS Keller Royal Grammar

:03:22. > :03:24.School and pupils will go to two sites before the decision is

:03:25. > :03:28.eventually made on where to build the brand-new school. By then, many

:03:29. > :03:34.will hope the bitter legacy of the amalgamation process will be a thing

:03:35. > :03:36.of the past -- Enniskillen Royal Grammar School.

:03:37. > :03:39.A 21-year-old man has died following a car crash on the main

:03:40. > :03:41.road between Ballynahinch and Carryduff last night.

:03:42. > :03:45.80 financial technology jobs are to be lost in Belfast

:03:46. > :03:49.as the Euronext firm shuts its operation in the city.

:03:50. > :03:53.Meanwhile, a similar number of jobs are under threat at the Tayto crisp

:03:54. > :03:57.Earlier, our Economics and Business Editor John Campbell

:03:58. > :04:10.Euronext run a series of stock exchanges across Europe, they were

:04:11. > :04:13.once part of the bigger New York Stock Exchange group and was spun

:04:14. > :04:17.off as a separate business. The Belfast off Magda Linette staff

:04:18. > :04:23.offer technical expertise to the stock exchange but Euronext say it

:04:24. > :04:27.makes more sense for the technical expertise to be closer to the main

:04:28. > :04:31.operations, so I understand it is highly likely many of these jobs

:04:32. > :04:35.will be run in the late moved to Portugal, where they run the stock

:04:36. > :04:40.exchange in Lisbon. What about Tayto? The union Unite, who

:04:41. > :04:47.represent Tayto, said the company are up to actively to making up to

:04:48. > :04:51.80 redundancies, and it is highly likely there will be job losses.

:04:52. > :04:55.They say they are likely to focus more production on their bigger

:04:56. > :05:00.factories because it makes more sense to have production there. They

:05:01. > :05:04.say the whole factory isn't under threat, but it is maybe likely in

:05:05. > :05:07.the future that anything they do will only be for the Northern

:05:08. > :05:09.Ireland market and that wouldn't need so many people.

:05:10. > :05:11.Hundreds of people have turned out for a loyalist parade in

:05:12. > :05:14.north Belfast to mark 1,000 nights of protest at Twaddell Avenue.

:05:15. > :05:17.It began after a Parades Commission determination

:05:18. > :05:20.not to allow Orange lodges to march past the Ardoyne shops

:05:21. > :05:27.Policing the protest has so far cost more than ?18 million.

:05:28. > :05:30.The County Grand Master of the Orange Lodge of Belfast

:05:31. > :05:38.thanked those who have taken part in the campaign.

:05:39. > :05:47.We have always said from the start, we don't need thousands or even

:05:48. > :05:53.hundreds each evening. The protest is not a numbers game. But we do

:05:54. > :05:58.need support from tens of thousands of people from all shades of

:05:59. > :06:02.unionism and loyalism, who are committed to see the July parade

:06:03. > :06:03.completed. A doctor has warned

:06:04. > :06:05.of the dangers of taking abortion

:06:06. > :06:06.drugs bought online. He was speaking out after a woman

:06:07. > :06:09.who used abortion pills told the BBC she almost died

:06:10. > :06:11.after taking the medication. The doctor said such

:06:12. > :06:13.drugs are unregulated Our Health Correspondent

:06:14. > :06:19.Marie-Louise Connolly reports. Without a doubt, there's

:06:20. > :06:21.more than two sides Monday's suspended jail sentence

:06:22. > :06:26.of a young mother highlighted how it remains one of the most emotive,

:06:27. > :06:30.complicated and legally challenging It also triggered a massive debate

:06:31. > :06:35.about taking abortion This woman did just that -

:06:36. > :06:40.she took the tablets I have never felt anything

:06:41. > :06:47.as painful and being on my own, when you in that

:06:48. > :06:51.much pain, you should either be in hospital

:06:52. > :06:53.or have some sort of medical

:06:54. > :06:56.professional with you. So I felt I was making calls

:06:57. > :07:00.I wasn't equipped to. This week has seen separate

:07:01. > :07:02.abortion pill cases brought While that's a first,

:07:03. > :07:08.they probably won't be the last, as according to some lawyers more

:07:09. > :07:11.women are being vocal Their actions have caused alarm

:07:12. > :07:15.among both lawyers This type of medication

:07:16. > :07:22.is not a simple treatment. Where it is prescribed,

:07:23. > :07:24.there are quite strict People should be under

:07:25. > :07:28.medical supervision. There are dangers

:07:29. > :07:31.of side effects with this procedure that can be

:07:32. > :07:35.infection, there could be bleeding, there can be interactions with other

:07:36. > :07:41.medications, allergic reactions. This week, Northern Ireland's

:07:42. > :07:44.abortion debate took a massive leap from discussing allowing abortion

:07:45. > :07:48.in very limited circumstances The conversation has opened up now

:07:49. > :07:57.to talking about changing the law with respect to these

:07:58. > :07:59.abortion pills. If we did that we would effectively

:08:00. > :08:05.be liberalising the law a great deal and we would

:08:06. > :08:07.effectively be bringing in abortion on demand and that would

:08:08. > :08:09.cause us great concern. Late this afternoon in Belfast,

:08:10. > :08:19.hundreds of pro-choice Clearly this issue is a long way of

:08:20. > :08:32.being resolved. The former Labour Home Secretary

:08:33. > :08:34.Alan Johnson has met members of the Labour Party here and says

:08:35. > :08:37.he supports their campaign to field Mr Johnson, who's leading Labour's

:08:38. > :08:46.pro-EU campaign, was speaking during He said members understood

:08:47. > :08:55.the referendum in June I led the charge in the CW for

:08:56. > :08:59.Labour Party members to be recognised here, but the issue about

:09:00. > :09:03.whether we stand candidates is something for after June the 23rd.

:09:04. > :09:07.We have got all of our focus on winning that referendum. You won't

:09:08. > :09:14.peseta Sammy, though? He hasn't even persuaded a lot of his own members.

:09:15. > :09:24.One of the reasons behind the reticence for going out

:09:25. > :09:25.campaigning... We have got 232... Devastated his own constituency,

:09:26. > :09:27.what devastated that? EU membership. And you can see the View straight

:09:28. > :09:29.after this bulletin. Dublin Airport is to go-ahead

:09:30. > :09:32.with plans to build a second runway in a project costing

:09:33. > :09:36.around ?260 million. just under a mile north

:09:37. > :09:40.of the existing main runway. It is expected to be

:09:41. > :09:41.operational in 2020. The airport's chief executive

:09:42. > :09:52.says it's good news Tourism in Ireland is marketed and

:09:53. > :09:57.driven on an all Ireland basis and is doing tremendously well. I think

:09:58. > :09:59.Dublin growing its frequency and roots in continental Europe is

:10:00. > :10:03.really important to that, to bring more people in here to go right

:10:04. > :10:06.across The Island, particularly with the good, strong road

:10:07. > :10:08.infrastructure, it is only an hour from here to the centre of Belfast.

:10:09. > :10:10.Despite a shaky start to the Masters golf tournament in Augusta,

:10:11. > :10:13.Rory McIlroy is currently 1 under par after 11 holes

:10:14. > :10:15.of his opening round - five shots off the lead.

:10:16. > :10:17.And it's another Irish golfer who has been making

:10:18. > :10:24.the biggest impact so far as Stephen Watson reports.

:10:25. > :10:30.Shane Lowry might be playing in just his only second Masters, but he is

:10:31. > :10:39.showing the composure and touch panel customer trend. The Offaly man

:10:40. > :10:43.produced some sensational golf to rocket up the leaderboard and find

:10:44. > :10:48.himself just one shot behind the leader, reigning champion American

:10:49. > :10:54.Jordan Spieth. Rory McIlory looked relaxed as he teed off in the final

:10:55. > :10:59.group in windy conditions. But his frustrating start to the season

:11:00. > :11:05.continued. And he certainly wasn't at his best over the opening holes.

:11:06. > :11:09.He dropped a shot here at the par-4 third, but managed to hold his game

:11:10. > :11:13.together and bounced back with fine birdies at the 7th and ninth holes

:11:14. > :11:19.to stay well in touch with the leaders. Despite some excellent

:11:20. > :11:25.shots like this, Darren Clarke was struggling to find his rhythm and is

:11:26. > :11:31.well off the pace. Houses Graeme McDowell. The famously fast Augusta

:11:32. > :11:39.greens were giving the Portrush man all sorts of trouble, especially

:11:40. > :11:43.here at the 5th hole. So problems for one half of the Irish

:11:44. > :11:45.contingent, but Lowry and McIlroy are well placed at this stage to

:11:46. > :11:54.make a Masters challenge. And Darren Clarke has finished

:11:55. > :11:59.4-over par, ten shots behind. Graeme McDowell is level par with boreholes

:12:00. > :12:03.left. Let's get the weather now. Good evening. That has been a much

:12:04. > :12:07.better day of weather, dry and brighter this evening and a lot

:12:08. > :12:10.calmer overnight and those more calm conditions mean temperatures through

:12:11. > :12:14.the first top of the night drop away quite sharply under the clearing

:12:15. > :12:17.skies, but they will recover a little bit towards dawn tomorrow

:12:18. > :12:21.morning and that is because while we start our reasonably bright note

:12:22. > :12:26.tomorrow, it won't take long for the rain to arrive. So the skies in the

:12:27. > :12:31.west will begin to cloud over as battlefront approaches from the

:12:32. > :12:36.Atlantic, it pushes slowly east as we go through the day, bringing rain

:12:37. > :12:40.to all parts -- as that front. Britain and Ireland having two very

:12:41. > :12:43.different days. Quite a reasonable day over the water, dry and bright

:12:44. > :12:47.in places, a few showers around and decent temperatures in the

:12:48. > :12:51.south-east. For us, a very different day. It is going to be cool, it is

:12:52. > :12:55.going to be wet and a bit miserable under all that rain through the

:12:56. > :12:59.afternoon. The rain will gradually clear out to the eased so we get

:13:00. > :13:02.some evening brightness in the west in particular and that is a hint of

:13:03. > :13:06.better things to come as we head into the weekend. It is going to be

:13:07. > :13:11.another day of sunshine and showers but it is going to be cold, we are

:13:12. > :13:18.into a cooler air mass so never feeling terribly warm. It will be a

:13:19. > :13:21.cake if you are in the sunshine but any other showers could be of a

:13:22. > :13:24.reasonably wintry nature, so some hail is possible and maybe some snow

:13:25. > :13:27.of the highest of hills but it is an improving picture, getting a little

:13:28. > :13:31.bit warmer as we head into the second half of this weekend.

:13:32. > :13:34.We are approaching one of the biggest decisions
