:02:13. > :02:18.fear that exists. More people are reluctant to speak out. There are

:02:19. > :02:29.real concerns about the long-term impact on jobs and investment.

:03:23. > :03:35.please tell me. Sharon was 11 when her brother was

:03:36. > :03:42.murdered by the IRA in 1974, tortured before his body was dumped

:03:43. > :03:46.on a road. 40 years on her mother still holds onto the clothes worn by

:03:47. > :03:50.her son on that day. My mother still holds onto the

:03:51. > :03:54.clothes, she asked everybody to smell them, she asks, can you scared

:03:55. > :04:00.of him, because I can? We tell her, we can.

:04:01. > :04:07.Sharon says they all have mental health problems and try to move on.

:04:08. > :04:11.The past, we are living it, it is a nightmare, I have said it before,

:04:12. > :04:16.the person who is shot, murdered, abducted, they are dead. What about

:04:17. > :04:20.the living? Because it is living a nightmare.

:04:21. > :04:25.Sharon and Marie are by no means alone. The thick as Commissioner

:04:35. > :04:39.injured, 3720th families bereaved. At least 200,000 people are still

:04:40. > :04:47.suffering mental trauma, yet only 18,000 of those have sought help. We

:04:48. > :04:52.know that young people growing up in those communities, of the families

:04:53. > :04:57.most impact, they show the highest levels of suicide, self harm, and

:04:58. > :05:01.mental health problems of anywhere in the UK, and other parts of

:05:02. > :05:04.Europe. The victims commissioner says time

:05:05. > :05:07.is running out for politicians to reach agreement on how to deal with

:05:08. > :05:13.the past. It will be back on the agenda after the election. As yet,

:05:14. > :05:17.there's no indication as to how our politicians

:05:18. > :05:23.there's no indication as to how our deadlock. Until

:05:24. > :05:28.find their own way to deal with the past.

:05:29. > :05:33.ahead of next month's Assembly election.

:05:34. > :05:37.young people raised questions about abortion,the economy

:05:38. > :05:53.They and the Good Friday generation. This is the first election in which

:05:54. > :05:58.anybody born after the signing of the Belfast agreement will be able

:05:59. > :06:03.to vote. Tonight they put assembly candidates in the spotlight.

:06:04. > :06:06.Politicians often talk about how difficult it is to engage people in

:06:07. > :06:11.the democratic process. But this audience of first time voters was

:06:12. > :06:18.engaged and interested, and tonight they had plenty of questions.

:06:19. > :06:20.Audience member Eva McBride from Co Armagh was interested in the

:06:21. > :06:26.controversial issue of abortion. I think women should have the right

:06:27. > :06:31.to decide what to do with their own bodies, and if there's something

:06:32. > :06:34.wrong with a child, and they are not and have a good quality of life, why

:06:35. > :06:38.put them through that? But Megan Donaldson took a different

:06:39. > :06:42.view. They need to look of the fact that

:06:43. > :06:47.it is murder. You are killing a child. What is the difference

:06:48. > :06:51.between once a child is born and once that is inside of you? There

:06:52. > :06:54.are plenty babies who live when they are born at the time when you can

:06:55. > :06:59.still get an abortion. Matthew Wilson was keen to know if

:07:00. > :07:04.this year's collection is going to be different?

:07:05. > :07:06.At each election the votes run along the same orange versus green lines.

:07:07. > :07:11.The politicians ever see an end, in the near future, to tribal politics?

:07:12. > :07:16.James Milligan the near future, to tribal politics?

:07:17. > :07:24.frustrated, he wants to vote, but he is not sure who to vote for -- from

:07:25. > :07:27.Lisburn. Is it acceptable that a young person

:07:28. > :07:32.like me voting the first time cannot find a party with voting for, that

:07:33. > :07:33.makes me want to vote on them? Eight of the parties faced questions

:07:34. > :07:37.tonight, the next major televised Eight of the parties faced questions

:07:38. > :07:40.bait will be the leaders debate on May three.

:07:41. > :07:43.A detective who was in charge of the police investigation

:07:44. > :07:45.into the disappearance of Arlene Arkinson has contradicted

:07:46. > :07:52.part of a statement about the case by Sir Hugh Annesley.

:07:53. > :07:55.The then Chief Constable had said he'd no recollection of a meeting

:07:56. > :07:58.when the go ahead was given for a search of the home

:07:59. > :07:59.of the Castlederg teenager's sister, Kathleen.

:08:00. > :08:07.That was in 1996 two year after her sister

:08:08. > :08:09.That was in 1996, two years after her sister

:08:10. > :08:21.Eric Anderson was giving evidence for a second day and what would have

:08:22. > :08:26.been the 37th birthday of Arlene Arkinson, he said that Sir Hugh

:08:27. > :08:31.Annesley given permission to the search on the basis of a tip-off

:08:32. > :08:34.from the member of the public. He said he then met the Chief Constable

:08:35. > :08:41.at headquarters, something that the court was told Sir Hugh Annesley had

:08:42. > :08:47.no memory. He said that he had not taken the decision to search the

:08:48. > :08:50.garden and house of Arlene Arkinson himself. The court was told there

:08:51. > :08:54.was not a single record of that meeting. Mr Anderson told the

:08:55. > :08:59.inquest that he did not strike any mood to do with any cases he was

:09:00. > :09:03.involved in. -- did not destroy any notes. He said he kept note and

:09:04. > :09:07.sheet of paper and handed them into the incident room. What he did

:09:08. > :09:15.destroy, he said, were journals relating to his inquest continues.

:09:52. > :09:59.franchises and the rumour mill is an hyperdrive in Donegal, and it is all

:10:00. > :10:04.rather hush-hush at the moment. You are not giving much away.

:10:05. > :10:08.In the first place I do not know much about it, and what I do know

:10:09. > :10:14.they have asked me to keep confidential.

:10:15. > :10:22.It is the arrival of trucks and an increase in action at the most

:10:23. > :10:28.northerly point of Ireland that could indicate Hollywood has moved

:10:29. > :10:35.in. There have been no sightings yet of Luke skywalker, Chewbacca, or

:11:20. > :11:23.been said that Star Wars is one of the great stories in cinema history.

:11:24. > :11:27.There is anticipation that some of the intergalactic action is coming

:11:28. > :11:37.here very soon. Maybe the force be with you.

:11:38. > :11:47.It is the 90th birthday of the Queen tomorrow and good morning Ulster has

:11:48. > :11:48.been to a residential home to get the thoughts of residents on her

:11:49. > :12:01.reaching her 90s. It is good to be chilly tonight with

:12:02. > :12:07.clear skies. Temperatures falling. Perhaps not quite as low as last

:12:47. > :12:50.be a breeze with rain approaching before Southwest is the day

:12:51. > :12:57.progresses. Cloud will move northwards across southern part of

:12:58. > :13:00.the country, not quite as one as he faces today, 16th in Wales and the

:13:01. > :13:07.north-west of England. Northern Ireland, a fine day. It would be

:13:08. > :13:10.hazy cloud moving in at times in the afternoon but not spoiling things.

:13:11. > :13:17.Not as warm as today, fresh around the coast, we could see 15 to the

:13:18. > :13:21.West. Enjoy it as the highs moved to the north-west and Friday, northerly

:13:22. > :13:23.air, turning colder for Friday and the weekend, although still a lot of
