:00:00. > :00:09.Hello and welcome to BBC Newsline. Two, 11pm in Scotland.

:00:10. > :00:12.The man who was shot dead in Dublin earlier today is believed to be

:00:13. > :00:18.He's the latest victim of an ongoing feud between two of the city's most

:00:19. > :00:41.The man who died was 24, and it is believed he was shot because he was

:00:42. > :00:45.wearing the same jacket as the assailant.

:00:46. > :00:51.As many as six shots were fired. It is believed the gunman rode off

:00:52. > :00:55.on a bicycle. The victim was a father of several children, and led

:00:56. > :01:01.a sometimes chaotic lifestyle. He was known to the police but not

:01:02. > :01:05.involved in the ongoing feud. This man had been shot by a lone

:01:06. > :01:20.gunman who left the area on a bicycle.

:01:21. > :01:28.Dublin has seen a spate of recent gun lamp -- gangland killings.

:01:29. > :01:34.Beginning with that of David Byrne, at a hotel two months ago.

:01:35. > :01:38.That was linked to a feud between associates of the Callaghan and

:01:39. > :01:42.Hutch families. It is thought a member of the Hodge gang was

:01:43. > :01:48.regularly seen in the area of today's suiting. The feud began with

:01:49. > :01:54.the murder of Gary Hart in Spain last year, and has since claimed the

:01:55. > :01:59.lives of David Byrne and Eddie Hodge, both in February in Dublin,

:02:00. > :02:07.and an old dog last month. He was a friend of Gerry Hutch. There has

:02:08. > :02:11.been a more visible police presence in areas associated with the gangs,

:02:12. > :02:14.but that policing failed to stop today's shooting.

:02:15. > :02:16.A man in his 50s has been arrested by Gardai investigating

:02:17. > :02:22.The 21-year-old was beaten to death in a barn near

:02:23. > :02:26.The arrest came during a major security operation at a farm

:02:27. > :02:29.The Quinn family have blamed Provisional IRA

:02:30. > :02:45.Today, Gardai are trying to unearth it.

:02:46. > :02:47.The search is based on this farm, which straddles the

:02:48. > :02:55.This afternoon, some kind of buried object,

:02:56. > :03:05.Paul was beaten to death by a gang in a shed in October 2007.

:03:06. > :03:19.But Republicans have always denied it.

:03:20. > :03:26.Just hope and pray, every day, that justice will be done

:03:27. > :03:36.I wouldn't want any of them taken off and murdered.

:03:37. > :03:40.But I would like to see them behind bars.

:03:41. > :03:42.A man in his early 50s, arrested as part

:03:43. > :03:46.of today's operation, is still being questioned.

:03:47. > :03:49.For the Quinn family, it is another anxious wait,

:03:50. > :03:51.after almost a decade of waiting and hoping for justice

:03:52. > :04:04.One of Northern Ireland's largest companies says it would be better

:04:05. > :04:08.for its business if the UK remains in the EU.

:04:09. > :04:11.A Bombardier boss has circulated a memo to five thousand staff saying

:04:12. > :04:14.he wanted to help inform their decision in June's referendum vote.

:04:15. > :04:19.Our business correspondent Julian O'Neill reports.

:04:20. > :04:23.One-third of Bombardier products go to Europe,

:04:24. > :04:28.so perhaps no major surprise it backs staying in the EU,

:04:29. > :04:31.but now it is in black and white to workers.

:04:32. > :04:57.Business body the CBI was today discussing

:04:58. > :05:00.the virtues of EU membership, endorsed as it now is by a major

:05:01. > :05:09.I'm encouraged they have come out; a number of companies are clearly

:05:10. > :05:12.sensitive around this, but ultimately this

:05:13. > :05:16.is about the future of further investment, in this case Bombardier.

:05:17. > :05:20.Bombardier has hundreds of suppliers in Europe, and has had big

:05:21. > :05:27.The "Leave" campaign says Mr Ryan's memo constitutes

:05:28. > :05:36.Start selling the C series, that would be a great start,

:05:37. > :05:42.rather than telling people how they should vote.

:05:43. > :05:46.Michael Ryan says the firm is nailing its colours to the mast

:05:47. > :05:50.because its employees have been asking where the company stands.

:05:51. > :05:52.The answer, from one of Northern Ireland's most important

:05:53. > :06:03.firms, cannot have been made any clearer.

:06:04. > :06:07.Last night we heard from the mother of a teenager who died a year ago

:06:08. > :06:12.Well, we've also been speaking to the mum of a 13-year-old boy

:06:13. > :06:15.who was left fighting for his life as a result of these type of drugs.

:06:16. > :06:18.She says his addiction has taken away the son that she knew,

:06:19. > :06:28.He was crawling around the floor hallucinating.

:06:29. > :06:36.I was constantly clearing yellow foam from his mouth.

:06:37. > :06:41.A mother forced to see her son close to death after taking drugs.

:06:42. > :06:44.He was on the verge of a heart attack, because his heart

:06:45. > :06:51.They were struggling to find a pulse with him,

:06:52. > :06:54.and kicking; by the time he arrived at hospital he had

:06:55. > :06:58.Maggie's son started taking legal highs when he was just 11.

:06:59. > :07:02.Soon, she says, he was taking anything he could get his hands on.

:07:03. > :07:13.We are not identifying her son, and Maggie is not her real name.

:07:14. > :07:19.Two weeks ago Maggie's son ended up in intensive care.

:07:20. > :07:23.The doctors didn't think he was going to pull through.

:07:24. > :07:25.I had to sit and watch him on a ventilator.

:07:26. > :07:31.What goes through your mind when you are in the hospital

:07:32. > :07:33.watching your 13-year-old son on a ventilator?

:07:34. > :07:39.You are sitting looking at him, you get angry.

:07:40. > :07:45.And there are babies lying on incubators in intensive care

:07:46. > :08:03.And panic, because you are watching the ventilator breathing for him.

:08:04. > :08:05.And not knowing whether he is going to live.

:08:06. > :08:07.Despair, I suppose, you go through every emotion

:08:08. > :08:14.Maggie's son has now recovered, and is now in a secure unit

:08:15. > :08:18.She hopes that by sharing what her son went through,

:08:19. > :08:28.There are people on Facebook who are very sorry, saying it has

:08:29. > :08:45.thankfully not happened to them, but it is knocking on their door.

:08:46. > :08:48.Police have confirmed they are investigating what happened.

:08:49. > :08:50.The inquest into the death of 11-year-old Francis Rowntree

:08:51. > :08:54.who died after being hit by a rubber bullet in 1972 has been told that

:08:55. > :08:56.testing of the weapon was limited and hurried before its introduction

:08:57. > :09:02.A Ministry of Defence expert also said the amount of gunpowder used

:09:03. > :09:05.in rubber bullet guns was increased twice to try to make

:09:06. > :09:13.Two men aged 26 and 31 have been arrested by police investigating

:09:14. > :09:15.a number of arson attacks in Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon

:09:16. > :09:22.The arrests are also believed to be connected to an arson attack

:09:23. > :09:24.which destroyed a family home in Richhill last week.

:09:25. > :09:27.The police carried out searches in Portadown and Markethill.

:09:28. > :09:32.Computer equipment, phones and cash were seized.

:09:33. > :09:35.Every weekend more than 3,000 people here take part in a Park Run -

:09:36. > :09:40.an organised, free to enter fun run in a local park.

:09:41. > :09:43.They happen all over the world, but now a council in England wants

:09:44. > :09:54.There are 22 park runs in Northern Ireland,

:09:55. > :09:58.including at least one in every council area.

:09:59. > :10:03.They all take place on Saturday mornings and are all free to enter.

:10:04. > :10:05.But a council in England wants to charge runners

:10:06. > :10:11.for the use of the local park, so could it happen here?

:10:12. > :10:17.I can never see it happening here - the relationships we have

:10:18. > :10:19.with the councils is excellent, it is much, much better.

:10:20. > :10:22.The councils are very supportive, they are very keen on what we do

:10:23. > :10:26.and the numbers we bring to the parks.

:10:27. > :10:29.They invest in us, they spend money on us, they don't try

:10:30. > :10:35.The runners are allowed to bring their dog or their baby.

:10:36. > :10:42.Should people not have to pay for monopolising a park

:10:43. > :10:53.We don't monopolise the park, we are given a safety briefing

:10:54. > :11:00.at the start, you must give way to other park users.

:11:01. > :11:03.If you have a dog you have to start at the back,

:11:04. > :11:06.You see hundreds of people dressed in Lycra, ready

:11:07. > :11:10.This one I think wants to go and run five kilometres!

:11:11. > :11:14.She did 31 while I was pregnant with her, I did my last run at 38

:11:15. > :11:20.You are either very committed, or mad!

:11:21. > :11:28.Park runs are rising in popularity here, but the price

:11:29. > :11:36.Hundreds of people have been queuing tonight to see a top English rapper

:11:37. > :11:39.performing in a Belfast city centre nightspot.

:11:40. > :11:42.Up to a thousand young people queued round the block without tickets,

:11:43. > :11:45.in the hope of getting in to see Stormzy - a winner at the MOBO

:11:46. > :11:49.Awards and named as an artist to look out for in the BBC's

:11:50. > :11:58.The weather outlook now, with Geoff Maskell.

:11:59. > :12:06.Good evening. After a week where we have seen grey skies and plenty of

:12:07. > :12:11.rain, we will see a bit of a change tomorrow. We're moving into an area

:12:12. > :12:17.of much cooler air. Overnight tonight we are going to see

:12:18. > :12:20.temperatures dropping away to two or three degrees. It is going to get

:12:21. > :12:25.cooler than that over the next few nights. We have got this call from

:12:26. > :12:30.sinking slowly south as we go through the day tomorrow. We will

:12:31. > :12:35.start off largely drier, but as we go through the daylight hours this

:12:36. > :12:40.rain will work in. Behind that rain we are into something rather

:12:41. > :12:46.different. Some much cooler air, clear air, brighter there, and you

:12:47. > :12:50.can see how about -- that impact will be felt, particularly across

:12:51. > :12:55.the North of Scotland. We've got a much warmer zone of air, and some

:12:56. > :13:00.rather unsettled conditions to come during the middle part of the day.

:13:01. > :13:05.For us it is a much more simpler story. Once the rain has gone

:13:06. > :13:08.through we get bright skies, cooler temperatures and a little bit

:13:09. > :13:13.breezy, but out of the wind it should feel quite pleasant. Chilly

:13:14. > :13:17.start of the weekend, but Saturday will be another decent day. It is

:13:18. > :13:23.not going to be warm, eight or 9 degrees at best, but the joy it is

:13:24. > :13:26.that we will start to see some blue skies, meaning that if you are in

:13:27. > :13:28.that sunshine it should feel very nice indeed.

:13:29. > :13:31.Our next BBC Newsline is at six twenty five in the morning
