Elsewhere, it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
15 men are still being questioned by the police | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
following the funeral of dissident republican Michael Barr | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
They were arrested on suspicion of membership of | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
a dissident republican group, referred to as the New IRA. | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
Michael Barr was a member of the organisation. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Here's our North-West reporter, Keiron Tourish. | :00:24. | :00:32. | |
Around a dozen men in paramilitary style uniform led the cortege as it | :00:33. | :00:40. | |
slowly moved along Strabane. Relatives and friends of Michael | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
Barr help carry his Coffin. It's on the border with Donegal, and this | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
morning. The manned checkpoints. In the town itself, there was a | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
noticeable PSNI presents along the routes. Michael Trabant was shot | :00:57. | :01:08. | |
dead on the 25th of April. Two men described as skinny and wearing | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
masks fired a number of shots at around half past nine in the | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
evening. Michael Barr had been living in the area where he was shot | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
dead. He was known to the Garvey for his involvement with dissident | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
republicans and had appeared in the court in connection. Slavery | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
hundreds more -- several hundred more joined the cortege. Officers | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
maintained a discreet distance throughout the Coffin which had | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
earlier been tricked in a tricolour with a blackberry and gloves on top | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
was then taken in inside the chapel. Later PSNI operated a large | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
operation and arrested many people. The context behind that is that we | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
have had confirmation of the deceased being a member of the New | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
IRA and that the funeral would take place in a fashion in line with | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
that. What we saw this morning on the of an in the local area was what | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
appears to all intents and purposes a paramilitary style display. | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
Resulting from about the subscript policing operation we have arrested | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
15 men in connection with suspected terrorist related offences. There | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
have now been several occasions in which men and women dressed in | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
paramilitary style uniform operated on the streets. There was a large | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
turnout for the veteran republican Peggy O'Hara who died in July last | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
year. They marched along the streets of Derry before the funeral service | :02:45. | :02:55. | |
for. The PSNI released few details of the operation at the funeral of | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
Michael Barr this morning. It is understood the 15 men arrested have | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
now been taken to Osgood Street police station for questioning. | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
The widow of Michael McGibbon, who was murdered in north Belfast | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
last month, has appealed to his killers to explain | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
The father-of-four died after being shot in the legs | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
Dissident republicans were blamed for the murder. | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson reports. | :03:19. | :03:27. | |
Joanne McGivern has been left to bring up her four children on her | :03:28. | :03:37. | |
own. It's a three week since her husband was killed, shot by a | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
paramilitary gang believed to be dissident republicans. The good not | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
explain why Angela and says he she has a right to know. I am just | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
saying I would like to have more answers. I don't know if they can | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
get answers to me, through the post or however else, but just the reason | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
why they have done this to a family, wider digits to Michael. Do you want | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
answers to your own peace of mind or to give them to the police? I've | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
priority now is to get answers for me and my family. I know someone was | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
ordered to shoot him, whatever, but I really don't believe that there is | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
any way of getting any one of them. She has heard one possible reason | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
why her husband was targeted. There was an argument between Michael and | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
I girl in his taxi. She didn't want to pay fair her affair, she had no | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
money to pay for her fur, and I reckon she is related to one of | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
these dissidents, that's what they call themselves, and she turned | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
round said overdue you know who I am? He said that he didn't care, so | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
they have perhaps decided to show him. I could be wrong. Joanne's | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
focus now is on her children. But family life is very difficult. The | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
children made a comment today, saying that McCain was drawing a | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
picture saying how she was going to kill her daddy's Keller. That hurts | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
me. But at the centre and this is reality. This is what my kids are | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
going through. That's the way she feels, side let her draw the picture | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
and explain to her look, love, we're better than these people, they are | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
bad boys. That's not the way to go about it. Joanne and her family will | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
steam be moving out of the area, it has too many painful memories for | :05:34. | :05:34. | |
her. The High Court has been told that | :05:35. | :05:35. | |
a man accused of raping a woman in a park near Dungannon last week, | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
tried to harm himself The details emerged during a bail | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
application by The victim was raped in this popular | :05:43. | :05:59. | |
walking and cycling error in peatlands Park in Dungannon last | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
week. She had been walking her dog and she was subjected to what police | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
described as an ambush of attack. The accused, James Wright from | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
Dairylea Road in Dungannon, appeared earlier this week in court | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
Dairylea Road in Dungannon, appeared with a sexual assault. Psychiatrists | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
said he was fit to be interviewed by police and child. He applied for | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
bail at the court in Belfast. The victim had resigned herself to the | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
sex assault amid fears that she would be killed. It emerged that the | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
men had attempted to harm himself in custody. The High Court was told | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
that the accused man had tried to strangle himself whilst in custody. | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
A defence barrister said the 23-year-old had an IQ of 44, and as | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
a lawyer he had never come across any criminal trial involving someone | :06:50. | :06:58. | |
of an IQ of less than 50. Opposing bail, prosecution said the threat | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
had taken place in the middle a day in an open and public area | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
frequented by cyclists, children and dog walkers. The judge said that | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
while the obligation of the court to protect the victim and the public, | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
there's also an obligation, given his limitations and IQ, to protect | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
the accused. This bail application was adjourned pending further | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
applicants to the judge. The head of a teaching union has | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
come under fire after she described some pre-school staff | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
as "well meaning amateurs". The comments were made | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
following the publication of a report which stated every | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
nursery should have a qualified early years teacher to help toddlers | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
develop speech and language skills. I see a spider, is there one on | :07:35. | :07:50. | |
my... All very happy and according to save the children, they should | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
be. Why? Because the grown-up is a fully qualified teacher. For one | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
teachers union anything less is no good enough. Hundreds of early years | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
teachers have been labelled as well-meaning amateurs. Things like | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
speech and language, teachers are trained to pick up on those things, | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
and this is why they should be allowed to go in and do these jobs. | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
Whatever you are standing by your comments that the teachers in | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
private nurseries are well-meaning amateurs? Not all of them, but | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
obviously if you don't have the qualifications that are necessary to | :08:31. | :08:31. | |
be in those positions. qualifications that are necessary to | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
it run by amateurs? Let's see. qualifications that are necessary to | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
Getting to grips with the basics of every parent wants their child to | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
get their best start in life. The Ulster teachers union says however | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
get their best start in life. The that children's like these say they | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
have been in the hands of teachers lacking skills and knowledge. How | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
many teachers out there which know that a two-year-old had delayed | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
development, or a one-year-old. Not many teachers would be qualified in | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
the early years to spot signs of autism or speech and language | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
problems. Our staff are very highly qualified and skilled in those areas | :09:12. | :09:22. | |
with the to those comments? I think that she needs to go out into the | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
settings and CB valuable and amazing work that is being done with | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
children out there and she needs to work that is being done with | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
attack her statement. They say your schooldays are the best days of your | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
life and suddenly the children here seem to be more than content. | :09:38. | :09:39. | |

That's the View, straight after this bulletin here on BBC One. | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
Now finally onto the weather forecast, and here's Angie Phillips. | :11:37. | :11:45. | |
Hello, good evening. After that fine day we have a dry nights coming up. | :11:46. | :11:54. | |
Variable cloud Antaeus bells. Some high cloud around particularly | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
towards the east. Inland and towards the west, is where we were likely to | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
get the clearer skies and temperature dropping close to | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
freezing. That will likely lead to rule grass frost, may be patchy mist | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
and fog as well. That will go very quickly tomorrow morning, fine day | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
coming up, dry weather, a fair amount of sunshine albeit rather | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
hazy. Particularly in eastern areas in the morning. This much of Britain | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
and Ireland it is much the same story. This much fine weather, | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
although cloudy across parts of Scotland with a fuse showers, and | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
later some of pockets of mist and sea fog with the north east coast of | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
Scotland and England. Other than that it is a fine day, more cloud | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
around compared to today. Sunshine hazy, continues to warm in the | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
south, temperatures of 22 or 23 degrees. For Northern Ireland there | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
is more northerly drift to the wind, along the northern coast which is | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
not as high as today. 11, 12 degrees. Inland particularly towards | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
the south, temperatures of rise in the sunshine to 14 or 15 degrees. | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
Into Saturday we see a change, the weather front moves in from the | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
south, isobars packing tightly together so gusty wind and eventual | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
showery rain from the south. This is the risk of some thunder mixed in. | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
The answer that it's drier and warmer. | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
