A vigil has been held in north Belfast for the father of four | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
He died after being shot several times in the leg | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
His widow told the gathering that the community needed to stay strong. | :00:21. | :00:43. | |
Michael's children are too young to understand what the vigil was all | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
about but his heart working wife thanked the hundreds who turned out | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
to support them. We will all stay strong and stop these people, | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
because we are stronger than them and they cannot beat us. It is not | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
fair that the family should have to go through this. They are not judge | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
and jury, I just pray to God and I hope there is watching over wherever | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
we may go. They did in the arms of his wife | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
when -- after being shot three times. The priest who organised the | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
vigil had this message for the killers. | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
The courage of Joanne will never be forgotten. Always be remembered. | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
When the faceless perpetrators are long forgotten. Her act of love, as | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
she cradled, comforted, and absorbed Michael, will always be a memory | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
that sticks in our hearts and minds. I shop. | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
At least we came out tonight to show our support, which was could. | :01:50. | :02:00. | |
-- I am shocked. Amongst those gathered to make there | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
is a sense of anger that a woman has been widowed and young children will | :02:06. | :02:06. | |
grow up without a father. A 25 year old man shot | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
in the legs in Londonderry last night is in a stable | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
condition in hospital. It has emerged that he is | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
facing drugs charges. His barrister told a court today | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
that since the attack he had not Here's our North-west reporter | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
Keiron Tourish. Forensic officers spent part of the | :02:21. | :02:30. | |
morning following up after last night's shooting, a trail of that | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
was still evident in the aftermath of the attack. It took place in a | :02:35. | :02:43. | |
relatively new development in the Creggan estate. Harry Boyd was shot | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
twice in the right leg. He was taken to hospital before being transferred | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
to the Royal Victoria. One pensioner said the incident caused a great | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
deal of upset. I did not know if it was up or down | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
the street, the police came, and whatever. It is very traumatic, I am | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
annoyed about it. The pain is real. Very upset. | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
The parish priest said there was no justification for the attack which | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
he cold barbaric in its nature. No humid being deserves to be | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
treated like this. Every humid being has dignity. The dignity of this man | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
was violated, and they violate their own dignity by doing it also. | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
Locals said it had no place in society. | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
Terrible shock. No necessity for it in this day and age. We are trying | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
to move forward. It worries me for the grandchildren, | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
that they have to grow up in this atmosphere. | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
The district police commander said that while detectives were still | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
investigating the motive the focus was on violent dissident | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
republicans. It is reprehensible in this day and | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
age that society would tolerate this brutal attack for some perceived | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
misdemeanour. They have no legitimacy, they have no right to | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
carry out attacks of this nature and members of the community. | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
It emerged that a case involving the victim was due for a hearing today | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
at the Magistrate Court, involving a number of alleged drugs offences. | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
His barrister told the court that since the shooting he believed the | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
victim had now regained consciousness. Detectives | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
investigating have appealed for information from anybody who noticed | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
any suspicious activity in or around this area, to get in touch. | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
A man has been jailed for six months for shining a laser | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
A judge told Alan Armstrong, from Greenisland, that his | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
actions could have caused the aircraft to crash. | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
The helicopter was sent into the night sky last September to provide | :05:04. | :05:20. | |
aerial systems for a police operation tracking a stolen car, a | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
green laser was shone directly at the helicopter, flying at 2500 feet. | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
This is a separate example of a laser during street disorder in the | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
past. In the night in question it happened at least five times and on | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
one occasion was continuously aimed at the helicopter for about 30 | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
seconds. The court heard that caused the cockpit to be illuminated and | :05:43. | :05:55. | |
the pilot could not see the instrument. The location from where | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
the laser was Sean was identified as here, Alun Armstrong, a father of | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
three, was arrested, and a laser pointer was found in his home. A | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
defence barrister told the court that Armstrong did it because the | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
helicopter was annoying him by flying over his house. Handing down | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
a six-month sentence the judge said that actions which could have | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
resulted in a pilot crashing in a heavily populated area were serious | :06:23. | :06:31. | |
and warranted a prison sentence. That use of lasers on aircraft will | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
be discussed on good morning Ulster tomorrow morning, that starts at | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
6:30am. The Attorney General has asked | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
the Public Prosecution Service to review its decision not | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
to prosecute any police officers Colum Marks was killed | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
in Downpatrick in 1991. It's claimed he wasn't carrying | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
a gun when the RUC opened fire. His family wants an inquest | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
and a full review of the circumstances | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
surrounding his death. Smoke from a fire near the centre | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
of Belfast could be seen It's believed tyres | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
were on fire at a premises Belfast city council says it has | :07:08. | :07:18. | |
been inundated with requests to deal with rats and that ratepayers | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
are having to wait It is the only local council that | :07:25. | :07:25. | |
offers the service free of charge. Last week our reporter David Maxwell | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
visited a house in south Belfast where 18 rats were caught | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
in just a few days. This week he's been out with | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
the council's pest control team. Rats in a loft. Clever and | :07:39. | :07:59. | |
adaptable. But they also carry disease. They will find their way in | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
through the cavity. They carry disease. We don't want them there, | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
we want them down in the sewers where they tend to live and we try | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
to keep down the population. This is the front line, pest control | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
officers using smoke bombs to test for damage to sewers that could | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
allow rats to escape. They also put poison down where they find evidence | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
of rats in the area. I am told this is a tell-tale sign that there are | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
rats in the alleyway. The door has been chewed, that is rats trying to | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
get into the property. This past year our complaints have gone up by | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
about 200 from the previous year. It is nothing to do with anything, just | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
mother nature. We had a mild winter, that would not have helped in | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
controlling a rodent population. The council says that increased call | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
outs are also down to changes in council boundaries. In urban areas | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
rat populations are largely controlled by humans. And | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
environmental factors. But without these controls it would be possible | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
for a single pair of rats today to increase to a population of 100 | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
within four months. 1000, within eight months. Within a year, you | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
could have a population of 2000. In short, they are survivors. | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
They have an ability to learn quickly. They are very wary about | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
taking bait. Only a proportion of their population take poison bait. | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
One thing they will not avoid is the plentiful waste food discarded on | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
the street. The council says residents also have a role to play | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
in reducing numbers. Turning to sport now | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
and Crusaders have won the Danskebank Premiership title, | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
after a 3-1 win The Seaview club knew | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
going into tonight, three points would wrap up the championship | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
and they didn't disappoint. There is something Crusaders had | :10:04. | :10:18. | |
never achieved until tonight, retaining the Irish premiership. | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
They have been the best team all season and it was reflected at the | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
home of their neighbours. From start to finish tonight they were the | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
better team. In the first half, a sigh of relief from their supporters | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
as Gavin White made it 1-0. Stephen Baxter's team continued their | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
dominance after the break, Paul he Paul Heatley evading the defence, | :10:44. | :10:52. | |
Crusaders injuring land, and it was the same for the supporters. | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
Following that he was again put through on goal and scored his | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
second, Crusaders third, and despite a consolation goal, the night | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
belonged to the champions. Unbelievable. I'm speechless. | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
Something I have wanted to do since I was a boy. It is absolutely | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
fantastic. Overall we were the better team. And the best team of | :11:22. | :11:22. | |
the season. The UFC World Champion | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
Conor McGregor shocked and confused his many fans tonight | :11:25. | :11:26. | |
with a message on social The Dubliner posted "I have decided | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
to retire young." It's unclear if the fighter, | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
who is renowned as a showman, is serious | :11:36. | :11:37. | |
about the statement. McGregor was unbeaten in the UFC | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
until earlier this year It ended up a pretty splendid day | :11:41. | :12:01. | |
for many, particularly through the afternoon as the cloud cleared away | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
from the West. With clearing skies it means it will be a cold night | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
tonight. Even towns dropping to three Celsius. We expect some frost | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
around tomorrow morning, the odd patch of mist and fog as well. | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
Essentially it is a fine and dry day coming up. Where there was cloud | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
today you will see more sunshine tomorrow. Despite a chilly start it | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
will be crisp, lovely morning spring sunshine. We will see dry and sunny | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
weather across much of Britain and Ireland tomorrow. The exception is | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
part of northern and western Scotland. A few showers, quite easy | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
towards the south-west, temperatures inland are decent, his temperatures | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
through central England and what parts of Wales, 15, 16 Celsius. | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
Northern Ireland, in the afternoon, Fairweather cloud, staying dry with | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
decent spells of sunshine. Maybe cool on the coast where the breeze | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
comes in from the sea. Inland we could see highs of 15 Celsius in the | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
West or Southwest. High pressure still in charge through the rest of | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
the week. Later we bring in cold air from the north, it will turn chilly | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
from Friday and into the weekend, until then, fairly decent. | :13:26. | :13:29. |
