Hello and welcome to BBC Newsline. Two, 11pm in Scotland.

:00:00.:00:09.

The man who was shot dead in Dublin earlier today is believed to be

:00:10.:00:12.

He's the latest victim of an ongoing feud between two of the city's most

:00:13.:00:18.

The man who died was 24, and it is believed he was shot because he was

:00:19.:00:41.

wearing the same jacket as the assailant.

:00:42.:00:45.

As many as six shots were fired. It is believed the gunman rode off

:00:46.:00:51.

on a bicycle. The victim was a father of several children, and led

:00:52.:00:55.

a sometimes chaotic lifestyle. He was known to the police but not

:00:56.:01:01.

involved in the ongoing feud. This man had been shot by a lone

:01:02.:01:05.

gunman who left the area on a bicycle.

:01:06.:01:20.

Dublin has seen a spate of recent gun lamp -- gangland killings.

:01:21.:01:28.

Beginning with that of David Byrne, at a hotel two months ago.

:01:29.:01:34.

That was linked to a feud between associates of the Callaghan and

:01:35.:01:38.

Hutch families. It is thought a member of the Hodge gang was

:01:39.:01:42.

regularly seen in the area of today's suiting. The feud began with

:01:43.:01:48.

the murder of Gary Hart in Spain last year, and has since claimed the

:01:49.:01:54.

lives of David Byrne and Eddie Hodge, both in February in Dublin,

:01:55.:01:59.

and an old dog last month. He was a friend of Gerry Hutch. There has

:02:00.:02:07.

been a more visible police presence in areas associated with the gangs,

:02:08.:02:11.

but that policing failed to stop today's shooting.

:02:12.:02:14.

A man in his 50s has been arrested by Gardai investigating

:02:15.:02:16.

The 21-year-old was beaten to death in a barn near

:02:17.:02:22.

The arrest came during a major security operation at a farm

:02:23.:02:26.

The Quinn family have blamed Provisional IRA

:02:27.:02:29.

Today, Gardai are trying to unearth it.

:02:30.:02:45.

The search is based on this farm, which straddles the

:02:46.:02:47.

This afternoon, some kind of buried object,

:02:48.:02:55.

Paul was beaten to death by a gang in a shed in October 2007.

:02:56.:03:05.

But Republicans have always denied it.

:03:06.:03:19.

Just hope and pray, every day, that justice will be done

:03:20.:03:26.

I wouldn't want any of them taken off and murdered.

:03:27.:03:36.

But I would like to see them behind bars.

:03:37.:03:40.

A man in his early 50s, arrested as part

:03:41.:03:42.

of today's operation, is still being questioned.

:03:43.:03:46.

For the Quinn family, it is another anxious wait,

:03:47.:03:49.

after almost a decade of waiting and hoping for justice

:03:50.:03:51.

One of Northern Ireland's largest companies says it would be better

:03:52.:04:04.

for its business if the UK remains in the EU.

:04:05.:04:08.

A Bombardier boss has circulated a memo to five thousand staff saying

:04:09.:04:11.

he wanted to help inform their decision in June's referendum vote.

:04:12.:04:14.

Our business correspondent Julian O'Neill reports.

:04:15.:04:19.

One-third of Bombardier products go to Europe,

:04:20.:04:23.

so perhaps no major surprise it backs staying in the EU,

:04:24.:04:28.

but now it is in black and white to workers.

:04:29.:04:31.

Business body the CBI was today discussing

:04:32.:04:57.

the virtues of EU membership, endorsed as it now is by a major

:04:58.:05:00.

I'm encouraged they have come out; a number of companies are clearly

:05:01.:05:09.

sensitive around this, but ultimately this

:05:10.:05:12.

is about the future of further investment, in this case Bombardier.

:05:13.:05:16.

Bombardier has hundreds of suppliers in Europe, and has had big

:05:17.:05:20.

The "Leave" campaign says Mr Ryan's memo constitutes

:05:21.:05:27.

Start selling the C series, that would be a great start,

:05:28.:05:36.

rather than telling people how they should vote.

:05:37.:05:42.

Michael Ryan says the firm is nailing its colours to the mast

:05:43.:05:46.

because its employees have been asking where the company stands.

:05:47.:05:50.

The answer, from one of Northern Ireland's most important

:05:51.:05:52.

firms, cannot have been made any clearer.

:05:53.:06:03.

Last night we heard from the mother of a teenager who died a year ago

:06:04.:06:07.

Well, we've also been speaking to the mum of a 13-year-old boy

:06:08.:06:12.

who was left fighting for his life as a result of these type of drugs.

:06:13.:06:15.

She says his addiction has taken away the son that she knew,

:06:16.:06:18.

He was crawling around the floor hallucinating.

:06:19.:06:28.

I was constantly clearing yellow foam from his mouth.

:06:29.:06:36.

A mother forced to see her son close to death after taking drugs.

:06:37.:06:41.

He was on the verge of a heart attack, because his heart

:06:42.:06:44.

They were struggling to find a pulse with him,

:06:45.:06:51.

and kicking; by the time he arrived at hospital he had

:06:52.:06:54.

Maggie's son started taking legal highs when he was just 11.

:06:55.:06:58.

Soon, she says, he was taking anything he could get his hands on.

:06:59.:07:02.

We are not identifying her son, and Maggie is not her real name.

:07:03.:07:13.

Two weeks ago Maggie's son ended up in intensive care.

:07:14.:07:19.

The doctors didn't think he was going to pull through.

:07:20.:07:23.

I had to sit and watch him on a ventilator.

:07:24.:07:25.

What goes through your mind when you are in the hospital

:07:26.:07:31.

watching your 13-year-old son on a ventilator?

:07:32.:07:33.

You are sitting looking at him, you get angry.

:07:34.:07:39.

And there are babies lying on incubators in intensive care

:07:40.:07:45.

And panic, because you are watching the ventilator breathing for him.

:07:46.:08:03.

And not knowing whether he is going to live.

:08:04.:08:05.

Despair, I suppose, you go through every emotion

:08:06.:08:07.

Maggie's son has now recovered, and is now in a secure unit

:08:08.:08:14.

She hopes that by sharing what her son went through,

:08:15.:08:18.

There are people on Facebook who are very sorry, saying it has

:08:19.:08:28.

thankfully not happened to them, but it is knocking on their door.

:08:29.:08:45.

Police have confirmed they are investigating what happened.

:08:46.:08:48.

The inquest into the death of 11-year-old Francis Rowntree

:08:49.:08:50.

who died after being hit by a rubber bullet in 1972 has been told that

:08:51.:08:54.

testing of the weapon was limited and hurried before its introduction

:08:55.:08:56.

A Ministry of Defence expert also said the amount of gunpowder used

:08:57.:09:02.

in rubber bullet guns was increased twice to try to make

:09:03.:09:05.

Two men aged 26 and 31 have been arrested by police investigating

:09:06.:09:13.

a number of arson attacks in Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon

:09:14.:09:15.

The arrests are also believed to be connected to an arson attack

:09:16.:09:22.

which destroyed a family home in Richhill last week.

:09:23.:09:24.

The police carried out searches in Portadown and Markethill.

:09:25.:09:27.

Computer equipment, phones and cash were seized.

:09:28.:09:32.

Every weekend more than 3,000 people here take part in a Park Run -

:09:33.:09:35.

an organised, free to enter fun run in a local park.

:09:36.:09:40.

They happen all over the world, but now a council in England wants

:09:41.:09:43.

There are 22 park runs in Northern Ireland,

:09:44.:09:54.

including at least one in every council area.

:09:55.:09:58.

They all take place on Saturday mornings and are all free to enter.

:09:59.:10:03.

But a council in England wants to charge runners

:10:04.:10:05.

for the use of the local park, so could it happen here?

:10:06.:10:11.

I can never see it happening here - the relationships we have

:10:12.:10:17.

with the councils is excellent, it is much, much better.

:10:18.:10:19.

The councils are very supportive, they are very keen on what we do

:10:20.:10:22.

and the numbers we bring to the parks.

:10:23.:10:26.

They invest in us, they spend money on us, they don't try

:10:27.:10:29.

The runners are allowed to bring their dog or their baby.

:10:30.:10:35.

Should people not have to pay for monopolising a park

:10:36.:10:42.

We don't monopolise the park, we are given a safety briefing

:10:43.:10:53.

at the start, you must give way to other park users.

:10:54.:11:00.

If you have a dog you have to start at the back,

:11:01.:11:03.

You see hundreds of people dressed in Lycra, ready

:11:04.:11:06.

This one I think wants to go and run five kilometres!

:11:07.:11:10.

She did 31 while I was pregnant with her, I did my last run at 38

:11:11.:11:14.

You are either very committed, or mad!

:11:15.:11:20.

Park runs are rising in popularity here, but the price

:11:21.:11:28.

Hundreds of people have been queuing tonight to see a top English rapper

:11:29.:11:36.

performing in a Belfast city centre nightspot.

:11:37.:11:39.

Up to a thousand young people queued round the block without tickets,

:11:40.:11:42.

in the hope of getting in to see Stormzy - a winner at the MOBO

:11:43.:11:45.

Awards and named as an artist to look out for in the BBC's

:11:46.:11:49.

The weather outlook now, with Geoff Maskell.

:11:50.:11:58.

Good evening. After a week where we have seen grey skies and plenty of

:11:59.:12:06.

rain, we will see a bit of a change tomorrow. We're moving into an area

:12:07.:12:11.

of much cooler air. Overnight tonight we are going to see

:12:12.:12:17.

temperatures dropping away to two or three degrees. It is going to get

:12:18.:12:20.

cooler than that over the next few nights. We have got this call from

:12:21.:12:25.

sinking slowly south as we go through the day tomorrow. We will

:12:26.:12:30.

start off largely drier, but as we go through the daylight hours this

:12:31.:12:35.

rain will work in. Behind that rain we are into something rather

:12:36.:12:40.

different. Some much cooler air, clear air, brighter there, and you

:12:41.:12:46.

can see how about -- that impact will be felt, particularly across

:12:47.:12:50.

the North of Scotland. We've got a much warmer zone of air, and some

:12:51.:12:55.

rather unsettled conditions to come during the middle part of the day.

:12:56.:13:00.

For us it is a much more simpler story. Once the rain has gone

:13:01.:13:05.

through we get bright skies, cooler temperatures and a little bit

:13:06.:13:08.

breezy, but out of the wind it should feel quite pleasant. Chilly

:13:09.:13:13.

start of the weekend, but Saturday will be another decent day. It is

:13:14.:13:17.

not going to be warm, eight or 9 degrees at best, but the joy it is

:13:18.:13:23.

that we will start to see some blue skies, meaning that if you are in

:13:24.:13:26.

that sunshine it should feel very nice indeed.

:13:27.:13:28.

Our next BBC Newsline is at six twenty five in the morning
