A man has died following a shooting in Dublin tonight. | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
He was shot in a pub in the Ballyboch area, | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
near Croke Park in the north of the city. | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
There's been a spate of murders in Dublin recently in a feud | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
between gangs involved in the drugs trade. | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
The victim was known to Gardai as a dissident republican. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
200 employees of British Home Stores in Northern Ireland are waiting | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
to hear what's going to happen to their jobs after the company went | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
BHS has four stores here, in Belfast, Holywood, | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
They'll continue to trade for now as the administrator | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
Our Economics and Business Editor John Campbell reports. | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
This afternoon, an unwelcome addition to window displays, | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
the official notice it had gone into administration. | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
BHS has been around since the 1920s and has been | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
Its central Belfast shop was bombed more than once during the Troubles. | :01:01. | :01:09. | |
Do you think these bombing attacks will put BHS off? | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
In recent years, it has struggled to move with the times. | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
The business has suffered from a lack of investment | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
It sells many clothes and homewares but competitors like Marks | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
Spencer's or Debenhams do the same things better. | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
There is much more choice on the high street and at | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
There is so much more to offer, the likes of Ikea have definitely | :01:38. | :01:45. | |
Some shoppers told us the store simply isn't relevant enough. | :01:46. | :01:55. | |
I pop in because there is an offer in the window but, generally, | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
It's not a high-street brand, not somewhere I would go to shop. | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
It's sad, like all the other department stores, it's just a pity | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
Last year the entire debt-laden business was bought by a group | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
Realistically, they needed to spend tens of millions more | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
But they have not been able to come up with the money. | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
The company also has a huge pension deficit, | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
the cost of that is now likely to fall on taxpayers. | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
This is the biggest retail failure since the Woolworths | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
It was another business which was unable to deal | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
The high street has actually seen something of a revival in the last | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
year or so as low fuel prices mean consumers have more money to spend | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
in the shops but the failure of BHS is a reminder of just how intense | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
the competition remains, especially online shopping, | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
An 89-year-old man has died following a road | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
He was a passenger in a car which crashed on the Drumcor Road, | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
He was taken to hospital but died later. | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
No other vehicle was involved in the accident. | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
A woman in her 90s has been struck on the head with a stick | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
and had her handbag stolen in East Belfast. | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
The incident happened this afternoon at Aston Gardens, | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
just off the Upper Newtowanards Road. | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
The attacker was described as being in his 60s, of thin build, | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
around 5'6" tall with a flat cap and rain jacket. | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
The woman has been taken to hospital for treatment. | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
Neighbours say it's usually a quiet area. | :03:53. | :04:01. | |
Very independent community. Very pleasant. See her on a daily basis | :04:02. | :04:13. | |
shops. An awful shock. An independent woman, it will not come | :04:14. | :04:14. | |
back. Ards Football Club say one | :04:15. | :04:15. | |
of their players is in hospital with a fractured skull | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
after an assault in the city They say Gary Warwick | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
was making his way home when he was attacked in the early | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
hours of Sunday morning. Manager Niall Currie says the club | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
is sickened by the attack. The widow of a murdered UDR soldier | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
has accused the Ministry of Defence of jumping on her husband's grave | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
over its stopping of her pension. Eileen Johnston lost her widows | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
pension when she remarried in 1985, eight years after her | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
husband David Graham At least 30 other UDR | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
widows are also affected. Our reporter Enda McClafferty has | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
been talking to Mrs. Every day, if I smelt his | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
perspiration, I felt he was with me. It is a cherished possession | :04:55. | :05:07. | |
which brings back painful memories The UDR beret her | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
husband David once war. The UDR beret her husband | :05:12. | :05:23. | |
David once wore. He was murdered by the IRA in 1977 | :05:24. | :05:24. | |
while working here in Coalisland. He was shot and died ten | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
days later in hospital. Eileen had to bring up | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
their three children. She received a widow's pension but, | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
eight years later, her pension I was in the procedure of getting | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
over the murder of my husband There are no other words | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
I could use for it. I thought I had enough in my life | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
without this big shock 39 years after losing her first | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
husband, she is still fighting with the Ministry of Defence | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
to get her pension back. In a statement, the MoD | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
said pensions for widows who were remarried will stay | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
suspended until their current Shocking for an organisation | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
such as the MoD to say Are they saying, go and end | :06:10. | :06:25. | |
your relationship just They should never have lost | :06:26. | :06:34. | |
the pension in the first instance. The rules have now changed from last | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
year, all army widows will keep their pensions | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
even if they remarried but here's the problem, only those who married | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
after 2005 will qualify. That is because the MoD says to go | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
back beyond that year would cost I would like to know more but, | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
at the end of the day, a life, there should never be a cost | :06:58. | :07:11. | |
put on anybody's life. I feel as if they have walked | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
on my husband's grave. Eileen is not alone, | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
at least 30 other UDR widows who have remarried have | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
lost their pensions. Their case has been taken up | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
by the victims commissioner. She told a committee | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
of MPs that the matter Those who do remarry, | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
they are still widows, I think it is a matter | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
of equality and basic humanity. It is one I believe | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
should be addressed. The families said they are pleased | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
their case is finally reaching Westminster and Eileen says | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
she is now hopeful of Paint has been thrown | :07:54. | :07:56. | |

almost a year ago. The 63 year old, who had | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
numerous aliases, was born Cecilia Julie McKitterick | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
in County Tyrone. She had been deported | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
from the United States A television drama will be shown | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
later this week telling the story of how Colin Howell | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
and Hazel Stewart murdered Lesley Howell and Trevor Buchanan | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
were killed as part of an elaborate plot to cover up Howell | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
and Stewart's affair. Both are now serving | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
long jail sentences. James Nesbitt plays the double | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
killer Colin Howell. Colin Howell was the dentist | :09:03. | :09:21. | |

and that is where It is based on the book | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
about the case by Derek Anderson. The actors involved found | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
the story harrowing. I know Jimmy has a reputation | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
for liking to party but I can assure you I have never known anybody | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
who puts so much effort What do you say to people | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
round here who might think this is too soon and it is not | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
appropriate to turn a double murder Well, I can see where people | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
are coming from and, yes, I can empathise in some ways | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
but this happened 25 years ago. It is difficult, yes, | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
for the families. It will be painful for the families | :10:41. | :10:49. | |
to watch, no doubt, but this happened and it was inevitable that, | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
once the book was written, it was only a matter of time before | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
they would do a TV series or a film. James Nesbitt has described | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
what happened as a deeply sad, Tomorrow is the 30th anniversary | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
of the Chernobyl nuclear accident, when one of four nuclear reactors | :11:08. | :11:17. | |
