The Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams has apologised for using the N word | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
in a message on Twitter which referred to a movie | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
After an angry reaction on social media last night he deleted | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
the tweet, and later said he was comparing the plight | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
of the slaves to the treatment of Irish nationalists. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Here's our political correspondent, Enda McClafferty. | :00:27. | :00:35. | |
Calm down, Butch. No offence given. It was a film which stirred much | :00:36. | :00:44. | |
emotion about racism and slavery in America. Last night, Djano Unchained | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
stirred the Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams to give a comment on | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
Twitter using the N word comparing the struggle of slaves in the US to | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
the plight of Irish nationalists here. It prompted a reaction online | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
and the quickly down. This morning, the Sinn Fein president held a news | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
conference to apologise for what he said was a I acknowledge that the N | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
word was inappropriate, I apologise for that. I stand over the context | :01:14. | :01:21. | |
and substance of the point that I was making which is the parallel | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
between the plight of people here in Ireland and the struggle of people | :01:28. | :01:35. | |
of African American extraction. Former republican prisoner Tim | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
Branigan said politicians need to be more careful about the language they | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
use. The word itself was racist but I wouldn't call Gerry Adams a | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
racist. You know, it was a one off remark that he got wrong, and it is | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
great to hear that he apologise this morning for it. So, not for the | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
first time Gerry Adams has been forced to issue a public apology | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
because of controversial remarks he made, and once again his political | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
opponents north and south have been quick to question his credibility. | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
Not so within Sinn Fein, where Gerry Adams is very much considered still | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
more of an asset than a liability. A 23-year-old man has appeared | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
in court charged with rape. It follows an attack on a woman | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
at Peatlands Park near Dungannon last Wednesday. | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
Sara Neill reports. James Wright, of Dairylea Road in | :02:28. | :02:40. | |
Dungannon was bought in and out of the Magistrates' Court under a | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
blanket. The defence described that I does as being of -- their client | :02:45. | :02:54. | |
as being of extremely low intellect. James Wright had cycled round the | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
victim who was walking her dog before raping her at three o'clock | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
in the afternoon. It is alleged he put his hand over her mouth before | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
the attack to stop screaming stop it was an ambush style attack. She | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
asked him for his name but he refused, saying I can't tell you | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
because you would tell someone who would get me into trouble. The court | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
heard Wright, whose known to social services, was assessed by a | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
psychiatrist who deemed unfit to be detained and later charged. A | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
bicycle and high visibility jacket and matching the description given | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
the victim were recovered from the accused's home, just a short | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
distance from peatlands Park. Detectives are still searching for a | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
bicycle helmet. District Judge Peter King refused bail because of what he | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
said were very serious allegations. Wright was remanded in custody until | :03:50. | :03:50. | |
later this month. Hundreds of people have attended | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
the funeral of a nun from Londonderry who was killed | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
in the Ecuador earthquake. Sister Clare Theresa Crockett died | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
when a school collapsed. Her funeral was held | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
at the Longtower church, where the parish priest | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
Father Eamon Graham described Sister Clare as a striking | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
example of Derry womanhood. Sisters from her order, | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
Home of the Mother, Wherever she went she was so jolly | :04:09. | :04:19. | |
and so cheerful, and everybody remembers her. Everybody, she'd been | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
in communities in America, Spain and Ecuador and whether she went we've | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
been receiving e-mails from all over the world, people that new sister | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
Claire, saying that she was so amazing. | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
Thousands of people took part in | :04:36. | :04:36. | |
the 35th Belfast City marathon today. | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
For some it was a race against the clock, for others | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
the main aim was to finish, and along the way a lot of money | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
62 Oompa Loompas and a Willy Wonka. All in fancy dress and all hoping to | :04:45. | :05:03. | |
complete a full marathon. Even if we have to carry each other over the | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
line, we'll get there. Are you going to finish? Yes! And so it began. | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
This is what it's all about, the finishing line here in south | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
Belfast. And first over the line this morning was the Kenyan Joel | :05:20. | :05:29. | |
Kipps sang in the third time that he is one the Belfast Marathon. There | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
are no local runners in the men's top three but one in the women's | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
race. Laura Gray, a 30 roles mum of four came second. I felt good, it | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
felt really good, I don't know why, but I did. I really enjoyed it. | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
Running for charity in the relay race was Louise James, who recently | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
lost five members of her family stop another charity running was Brendan | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
Rodgers, the former Liverpool manager. It's a wonderful feeling, | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
get great support, wherever I am in the world, people have always been | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
brilliant for me. As for Willy Wonka and the Oompa Loompas, yes, they did | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
it, the full marathon. Well done to them! | :06:21. | :06:21. | |

sunshine, but with a few showers around through on the breeze blew | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
