:00:00. > :00:19.Good evening, the headlines on BBC Newsline:

:00:20. > :00:22.As a 17-year-old appears in court accused of killing a young

:00:23. > :00:30.woman in a hit and run - those who knew her pay tribute.

:00:31. > :00:39.She was someone with -- who worked extremely hard, she was

:00:40. > :00:42.compassionate, and she always had a wonderful sense of humour.

:00:43. > :00:44.Politicians here follow the Prime Minister by

:00:45. > :00:51.An inquest hears how this 11-year-old boy was close to an army

:00:52. > :00:54.vehicle when he was hit by a rubber bullet in 1972.

:00:55. > :00:58.Also coming up on the programme: A change of venue for the Irish Open -

:00:59. > :01:00.it'll now not be held at the Lough Erne

:01:01. > :01:05.Another missed opportunity for Rory McIlroy at the Masters -

:01:06. > :01:14.he tells BBC Newsline what went wrong.

:01:15. > :01:18.And a really messy weather picture, all thanks to this area of low

:01:19. > :01:22.pressure in the Atlantic. Nineteen year old Lesley-Ann

:01:23. > :01:23.McCarragher was jogging on Monaghan Road in Armagh

:01:24. > :01:32.when she was knocked down by a car in a hit and run

:01:33. > :01:35.on Saturday afternoon. A teenager appeared in court today

:01:36. > :01:41.accused of killing her. The court was told the 17 year

:01:42. > :01:45.old boy went to the police that night and told them he had sold

:01:46. > :01:55.the car less than an hour Lesley-Ann McCarragher was jogging

:01:56. > :02:00.just a few hundred yards from her home when she was hit and fatally

:02:01. > :02:06.injured. Police believe the car was being driven by a 17-year-old boy

:02:07. > :02:09.who cannot be named because of his age.

:02:10. > :02:13.The accused had bought the car on Friday, but says he sold at 45

:02:14. > :02:20.minutes before this incident. A witness described seeing the car on

:02:21. > :02:27.Saturday being driven at speed they estimated at up to 90 mph. They said

:02:28. > :02:32.it appeared to be racing another car, a black folks wagon goal.

:02:33. > :02:38.Detectives told the court that at one point the white Saab went to

:02:39. > :02:41.overtake another vehicle, mounted the hard shoulder, and it was there

:02:42. > :02:47.that it struck Lesley-Ann McCarragher.

:02:48. > :02:52.The accused handed himself in on Saturday night, the car was found in

:02:53. > :02:57.a garage rented by his brother. He is charged with causing death by

:02:58. > :03:07.dangerous driving, failure to stop -- report an accident, and having

:03:08. > :03:10.insufficient insurance. It was said that the woman who sold

:03:11. > :03:20.the car received a text on her mobile phone asking her to say

:03:21. > :03:23.whether she had sold the car. Later, the youth said he had bought it on

:03:24. > :03:29.Friday but that he had soldered before the incident.

:03:30. > :03:41.Today, some of those who knew Lesley and paid tribute to her.

:03:42. > :03:53.-- Saab. She was compassionate, and had a great sense of humour.

:03:54. > :04:00.Her death brings to the total 17 -- brings to the -- brings to 17, the

:04:01. > :04:07.number of people killed on our roads this year.

:04:08. > :04:12.The Prime Minister David Cameron decided to detail his tax returns to

:04:13. > :04:15.try and defuse a row over his personal finances. The leaders of

:04:16. > :04:22.all the main political parties here say they plan to do the same. Our

:04:23. > :04:28.political correspondent reports. Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt

:04:29. > :04:33.wasted no time getting his tax returns in order as he prepared to

:04:34. > :04:36.publish them. His income from the Assembly is just over 52 and a half

:04:37. > :04:42.thousand pounds. -- 50 ?2500.

:04:43. > :04:46.I have no difficulty publishing this, there is a genuine public

:04:47. > :04:50.concern that elected representatives are seen to be open and transparent

:04:51. > :04:54.in all their dealings. This afternoon the First Minister

:04:55. > :04:59.published her latest tax returns, which showed she earned just over

:05:00. > :05:07.?78,000 from the Assembly, while her office expenses total 60 -- 60

:05:08. > :05:12.?5,500. The Deputy First Minister, the

:05:13. > :05:16.Alliance leader and the SDLP leader said they will also put the tax

:05:17. > :05:21.affairs in the public domain. I will gladly publish my very boring

:05:22. > :05:25.tax returns, and I think others should do the same. There are no

:05:26. > :05:29.offshore accounts here, and I think everybody who is a senior politician

:05:30. > :05:32.in this country should do the same. I would love to see the Tory Cabinet

:05:33. > :05:36.do the same. But how much will the figures

:05:37. > :05:40.reveal? This expert believes the paperwork will raise many questions.

:05:41. > :05:46.In terms of the information put into the public domain, to what purpose

:05:47. > :05:52.is it going to be used? Is it really going to achieve anything really?

:05:53. > :05:56.So, the question is will the decision by our political leaders to

:05:57. > :05:59.publish their tax returns reassure the man or woman on the street?

:06:00. > :06:07.People need to know what is going on.

:06:08. > :06:12.And we trust politicians more if you concede documents like this?

:06:13. > :06:18.Definitely. I think the trust for politicians

:06:19. > :06:24.disappeared a long time ago. Will this lead to the overall cost of all

:06:25. > :06:26.put in -- all politicians, probably not.

:06:27. > :06:31.Would you trust politicians more if you could see their tax dealings?

:06:32. > :06:38.I don't trust them anyway. No. Suffix makes no difference?

:06:39. > :06:45.-- so this makes no difference? If it were my P 60, my wife doesn't

:06:46. > :06:49.even see that! The Prime Minister hopes the

:06:50. > :06:54.publication of his tax returns will defuse the row over his finances. It

:06:55. > :07:04.remains to be seen what Tom if any, will be the fallout here.

:07:05. > :07:06.Still ahead on BBC Newsline: The SDLP election manifesto -

:07:07. > :07:11.we look at the party's plans and promises.

:07:12. > :07:13.A long awaited inquest into the death of 11-year-old

:07:14. > :07:17.Francis Rowntree, who was killed after he was hit by a rubber bullet

:07:18. > :07:20.in 1972, has been told the soldier who shot him had a "clear view

:07:21. > :07:34.Francis Roundtree was 11 when he was hit by a rubber bullet.

:07:35. > :07:43.1972 was one of the worst years in the history of the Troubles. The

:07:44. > :07:49.inquest into the death of Francis Rowntree was told the area was a

:07:50. > :07:55.hotbed for rioting. Giving evidence today, a friend of Francis's, who

:07:56. > :07:59.met him in 1972. He told the inquest that while he

:08:00. > :08:03.could hear disturbances nearby, there were no cars on fire rioting

:08:04. > :08:07.where they were. He said a group of up to six of them

:08:08. > :08:14.were making their way through the flats complex when they came across

:08:15. > :08:17.an army Saracen. Francis, he said, was more curious than the rest of

:08:18. > :08:22.them. He started to walk towards the vehicle. He was not carrying

:08:23. > :08:27.anything. He said the 11-year-old was just ten yards from the Saracen

:08:28. > :08:34.when he heard a large bang. He said Frances seemed to be lifted off his

:08:35. > :08:38.feet and jerked backwards. -- Francis. Counsel for the Ministry

:08:39. > :08:43.of Defence asked him if he engaged in riots.

:08:44. > :08:50.Yes, I was a serial rioter, he said, I took days of school to riot.

:08:51. > :08:57.Asked if France's ever went rioting with him, no, not at all, he said.

:08:58. > :09:01.-- Francis. Asked if Francis was the sort of

:09:02. > :09:05.person who would get involved in rioting, his brother said today he

:09:06. > :09:11.was never in trouble with the police or at school.

:09:12. > :09:16.He was more involved or interested in sport, and that is all he thought

:09:17. > :09:23.of, he wouldn't have gone out. As inquests hear evidence

:09:24. > :09:25.on killings from the Troubles, the issue of how we deal

:09:26. > :09:28.with the past still divides public No start date has been set

:09:29. > :09:35.for the inquiry into the activities of the Army agent known

:09:36. > :09:37.as Stakeknife, nor is it clear at this stage

:09:38. > :09:40.who will be paying for it. We have been listening to a family

:09:41. > :09:42.bitterly divided over whether the investigation should

:09:43. > :09:58.take even take place. Joseph Buttler home's body was

:09:59. > :10:05.dumped -- found John -- dumped on the border, having been shot by the

:10:06. > :10:12.IRA. For a long period, the army's most high-ranking agent, known as

:10:13. > :10:19.Stakeknife, was running the IRA's internal security network. The West

:10:20. > :10:23.Belfast man denies being an agent. Stakeknife is now being investigated

:10:24. > :10:31.in connection with the murder of 15 people. Joseph's father supports

:10:32. > :10:38.this. Why did they not act? While it is

:10:39. > :10:41.Stakeknife not in jail now? One of the problems when it comes to

:10:42. > :10:47.dealing with the past is that not all victims want the same thing.

:10:48. > :10:51.Some are seeking truth, justice, reconciliation, and some don't want

:10:52. > :10:56.anything at all. To make matters even more difficult, there can be

:10:57. > :11:01.differences even within families. Another pallbearer at Joseph

:11:02. > :11:05.Mulheim's funeral was his younger brother Fran. Now living in the

:11:06. > :11:09.North of England, he feels the inquiry is focusing on the wrong

:11:10. > :11:11.people. Everybody's talking about

:11:12. > :11:17.Stakeknife, but what about the people gradually pulled the trigger

:11:18. > :11:19.is? Right now it just seems that they are sort of getting a free

:11:20. > :11:24.pass. He also believes an inquiry into the

:11:25. > :11:30.activities of Stakeknife is selective, and that other victims

:11:31. > :11:34.are being ignored. Either you provide something for all

:11:35. > :11:38.of the victims, all you do with none of them, you cannot cherry pick. It

:11:39. > :11:43.causes resentment and doesn't allow the province to move on.

:11:44. > :11:47.The family is also split over the cost. One estimate of the Bill is ?5

:11:48. > :11:57.million per year for five years. I think that some is probably

:11:58. > :11:59.mentioned to come up with secured -- excuses why they don't have an

:12:00. > :12:06.investigation. That money could be better spent on

:12:07. > :12:11.teachers, nurses, or just doing something to help move on.

:12:12. > :12:14.The PSNI has said its preferred option is to employ detectives from

:12:15. > :12:16.outside Northern Ireland to conduct the inquiry.

:12:17. > :12:19.The charity Extern is to take over some of the potentially life-saving

:12:20. > :12:21.counselling work carried out by the mental health charity Fasa.

:12:22. > :12:23.It was forced to close because of financial

:12:24. > :12:30.46 staff members at Fasa were made redundant and thousands of people

:12:31. > :12:32.on waiting lists were left in limbo after counselling

:12:33. > :12:36.After several weeks of negotiations an arrangement has been now

:12:37. > :12:46.reached between the Public Health Agency and Extern.

:12:47. > :12:48.The SDLP has launched its Assembly election manifesto with a pledge

:12:49. > :12:52.to give every new born child in Northern Ireland

:12:53. > :12:59.The leader Colum Eastwood unveiled his election promises

:13:00. > :13:02.as a third party councillor quit the SDLP after a row about candidate

:13:03. > :13:15.Here's our political editor Mark Devenport.

:13:16. > :13:22.Colum Eastwood's first manifesto since taking over as leader faces --

:13:23. > :13:29.features a number of pledges aimed at the younger generation. The SDLP

:13:30. > :13:33.promises a fund which will include a ?250 payment to children at birth

:13:34. > :13:37.followed by a further ?250 when they reach the age of ten.

:13:38. > :13:42.The party will boost free childcare provision from 12.5 hours per week

:13:43. > :13:47.to 20 hours, reduce tuition fees and reverse cuts to the number of

:13:48. > :13:55.student places. The SDLP insists it will only join a Government which

:13:56. > :13:57.commits to fairness in spreading wealth around, claiming there is a

:13:58. > :14:00.gross disparity in investment between different regions.

:14:01. > :14:06.Then there is a place called opposition, and if we do not achieve

:14:07. > :14:10.the massive change that we didn't see in the last programme of

:14:11. > :14:15.Government, we will not take place -- part in the Executive. We want to

:14:16. > :14:20.invest in young people, invest in the economy and turn around the

:14:21. > :14:25.stagnation and -- in the economy we have seen in the last ten years.

:14:26. > :14:29.The launch happened here, but further west in County Tyrone, the

:14:30. > :14:34.SDLP is experiencing a flight of its own councillors, with a third

:14:35. > :14:39.politician resigning in a row over candidate selection. Disputes like

:14:40. > :14:43.this happen at election time, but no doubt Colum Eastwood would have

:14:44. > :14:45.preferred it if it hadn't coincided with its first -- his first

:14:46. > :14:46.manifesto launch. Our economics and business editor

:14:47. > :14:49.John Campbell is looking at some of the economic promises

:14:50. > :15:07.and aspirations in each Funding for higher education has

:15:08. > :15:12.been under pressure, the local universities haven't been allowed to

:15:13. > :15:17.put up tuition fees, so they have responded by cutting student

:15:18. > :15:21.numbers, and the amount is due to fall by 1700 across both

:15:22. > :15:24.universities this year. Many commentators say this doesn't make

:15:25. > :15:28.sense, and they were hoping corporation tax would bring lots of

:15:29. > :15:33.high skilled jobs, so the SDLP said they would reduce that cut, add

:15:34. > :15:36.another 1000 places across both universities, and do this without

:15:37. > :15:42.raising tuition fees, in fact they would cut tuition fees by ?5,000 per

:15:43. > :15:46.year. So they are making a very chunky spending commitment for

:15:47. > :15:50.higher education. Preschool childcare, what is the

:15:51. > :15:55.party planning to do there? As Mark was saying, they want to

:15:56. > :15:59.move from 12.5 hours per week to 20, but ultimately what they are aiming

:16:00. > :16:06.to do is get to 30 hours per week, but is a commitment that is going to

:16:07. > :16:11.happen in England. That again is a fairly chunky spending commitment by

:16:12. > :16:18.the SDLP. Reduce student fees, childcare, ?250

:16:19. > :16:21.for each new baby. How does the SDLP plan to finance that?

:16:22. > :16:27.By my calculations that would be more than ?250 million per year over

:16:28. > :16:31.the four year Assembly term, but what the SDLP point to mainly his

:16:32. > :16:38.last Westminster budget, where it made another -- an extra ?223

:16:39. > :16:41.million per year available to the Executive. So they would say over

:16:42. > :16:46.four year 's most of that money would be available and you can get

:16:47. > :16:49.the rest by a fairly modest cuts in other departmental budgets. But the

:16:50. > :16:54.big thing to remember about all these manifestos, because we have

:16:55. > :16:58.come -- compulsory coalition, not everything will be implement it and

:16:59. > :16:59.it will all be down to the negotiation two weeks after the

:17:00. > :17:10.election. The Ukip leader in Northern Ireland

:17:11. > :17:13.David McNarry has done a U-turn on comments he made about deporting

:17:14. > :17:16.foreign doctors if they were He made the original comments

:17:17. > :17:19.during an interview on BBC Radio Ulster's Nolan

:17:20. > :17:23.programme this morning. Does that include a speeding fine, a

:17:24. > :17:25.parking ticket? If a foreigner gets a parking ticket, they will be

:17:26. > :17:30.deported? Yes. So a Polish doctor, working

:17:31. > :17:36.really hard, overstays 30 minute parking, gets a parking ticket.

:17:37. > :17:38.Yes. Why? Because he has broken the law.

:17:39. > :17:41.Later today David McNarry said he needed to clarify his remarks.

:17:42. > :17:43.He said no-one should be deported for a minor offence -

:17:44. > :17:46.and Ukip would not deport anyone for anything other than a serious

:17:47. > :17:56.offence followed by due process and conviction in the courts.

:17:57. > :17:58.There's plenty to come on this programme before 7:00, including:

:18:18. > :18:26.to host the tournament, but a coastal links course -

:18:27. > :18:28.possibly Portstewart - will be chosen instead.

:18:29. > :18:32.Here's our southwest reporter Julian Fowler.

:18:33. > :18:40.The Lough Erne resort has held some big events, Rory McIlroy and Darren

:18:53. > :18:56.as the venue of the 2017 Irish open two years ago, and the new owners of

:18:57. > :18:59.the resort have been investing in the hotel and golf course in

:19:00. > :19:04.anticipation of hosting the tournament. But the organisers, the

:19:05. > :19:09.European tour, want to move the Irish open to a traditional links

:19:10. > :19:12.course. A statement said they are extremely disappointed that the

:19:13. > :19:34.European tour has announced a change.

:19:35. > :19:41.The news has come as a blow to the local tourism industry.

:19:42. > :19:46.This part of the world needs events, we have a strong strategy for

:19:47. > :19:50.events, and if a man is to strive -- thrive in the future, these events

:20:11. > :20:13.in the United States at the weekend - the first major of the golfing

:20:21. > :20:25.down Magnolia lane - Rory McIlroy says he needs

:20:26. > :20:28.to improve mentally if he's ever to complete the grand

:20:29. > :20:31.slam of golf's majors. A dejected McIlroy, who finished six

:20:32. > :20:34.shots behind winner Danny Willett, told BBC Newsline he must learn

:20:35. > :20:53.to cope with the pressure. Frustrated at Augusta again. It was

:20:54. > :20:57.another tournament when Rory McIlroy failed on his master 's mission. The

:20:58. > :21:01.relaxed approach which had worked so well early in the event disappeared,

:21:02. > :21:07.and with it, his dreams of a Grand Slam.

:21:08. > :21:12.The disappointment during and after his round was evident to see.

:21:13. > :21:18.What do you go away thinking you need to do better if you are to win

:21:19. > :21:22.a green jacket here? Just be mentally better. I felt like

:21:23. > :21:26.I was very... I don't know what the word is,

:21:27. > :21:30.if it was weak or if I Of course, you're going to be and I

:21:31. > :21:34.just didn't handle it the best. Out of every tournament

:21:35. > :21:37.in the world that we play, this is the one where I feel just

:21:38. > :21:40.a little bit different than the others, for obvious

:21:41. > :21:43.reasons, and I just have to learn how to control that because I think

:21:44. > :21:46.that's all that's holding me back. I don't think anything

:21:47. > :21:48.physically in my game It's more the mental

:21:49. > :21:51.challenge of coming here and trying to do something that

:21:52. > :22:00.I haven't done before. I know this golf course well, but it

:22:01. > :22:06.is playing it when it really matters. I can go round here and

:22:07. > :22:10.should in the 60s standing on my head when it doesn't mean anything,

:22:11. > :22:13.but when you are playing for something else, that is when I have
