in later tonight and The partner of the man shot dead

in West Belfast last night has described the killers as cowards

and cowboys with guns. The 55-year-old man had been wounded

in a previous gun attack last year. Daniela Murray was leeward to his

death by a bogus order to deliver a Chinese takeaway. He arrived at the

address in Lady Street at about 10:20pm where he was shot in the

head as he sat in his car. Police believe the fake order was made from

this public phone box near the junction of the Antrim and

Cliftonville Road is just before 10pm. They have appealed for

information about any suspicious activity. Police say Mr Murray was a

well-known and had a lengthy criminal record. In January, in an

unrelated incident, he spoke after witnessing a West Belfast car

accident as he held his two year old son. He actually jumped into my arms

and head-butted me. They murdered a man had been targeted before. In

March last year he was shot in the face by gunmen who came to his home.

This is the house in north Belfast were Daniela Murray was shot and

wounded just over a year ago. He strongly maintained his innocence

and said he was not going to leave his home, even though his partner

had wanted to and feared for his safety. His partner had to break

into her own house this morning because the keys are believed to be

part of the police investigation. She spoke of their battle to find

out why Daniel Murray had been attacked in the past. I never

thought a year ago I would be sitting in this position of having

to bury him. Never. It just doesn't seem really yet. It hasn't sunk in

at all. I keep thinking he's just going to come back. Having had this

attack before, when you prepared for something bad to happen? No. After

the last time, we went to every political party we could think of

and are no one knew anything about it. They were not giving us and this

is. We don't know who has done it all understand. -- all understand.

Everybody in the community knows and these people are getting away with

it. Cowboys with guns. You can't think of any reason, though there

was talk at the time he was dealing in drugs? That has always been said.

He has never, ever been convicted of drugs. There is no charge on his

record. It is the rumour mill is trying to justify what they've done.

The police have refused to speculative the motive for the

killing or the allegation that dissident Republicans were involved.

At the three shootings within 24 hours in North and West Belfast,

there have been fears of a gang culture on the streets. Clearly is a

matter of concern there have been three shooting incidents within

Belfast in the last 24 hours, however, we're not making a link

between those incidents at this time. We are keeping an open mind

and I would appeal to anyone with any information of any of those

incidents to come forward. They made us the content -- condemned by

politicians and Sinn Fein spoke to the police this morning. We asked

them what they are doing about it and they in turn are are pursuing us

to speak publicly on this. We have done it. If anyone has information

common matter how small that information is, you bring it

forward. They will be a postmortem on Mr Murray's Wadi tomorrow

morning. -- body tomorrow morning. A senior detective who briefly led

the inquiry into the disappearance of Arlene Arkinson in 1994 has told

an inquest that she was Norman Baxter also said the prime

suspect Robert Howard could have been charged

with her murder years earlier. Arlene Arkinson went missing after a

night out in August 19 94. She was just 15 years old. Eight years later

in 2002, this manner, now retired, Detective Superintendent Norman

Baxter took over the inquiry, determined to move things along. In

court, Norman Baxter said he found the inquiry in a vacant position,

neither closed nor open and fell to the Arkansas the family had not been

well treated. He assembled a new team team with resources and

although her body has never been found, in just over two mark of

months, he had charged Robert Howard with Arlene's murder. By 2002

committee told the court, I would say she is a forgotten victim. That

is quite a terrible thing. And he added later, Robert Howard could

have been charged years earlier. Robert Howard was brought in for

interview, already on remand for the murder of 14 eight-year-old Hannah

Williams in 2001. Her body had been found in Kent, just as mixed Baxter

started on the Ark in some case. The court heard that after he was

charged with Arlene's murder, Howard lost control. Within a few hours, Mr

Baxter said Robert Howard asked to see him, extremely agitated and

totally dishevelled as well is very unsettled. He said he seemed to

indicate he may cooperate with the police to help find Arlene's body

and asked if he might serve any sentence in Maghaberry prison in

Northern Ireland which she thought that a better conditions than

prisons in England. Later, Howard was convicted of the murder of

Hannah Williams. He didn't stand trial in 2005 for murdering Arlene,

but was acquitted. The jury he had not known about his other crimes. He

died in prison in England last year. The SDLP says a new outline

programme for Government the party has been shown is a long way short

of something they can agree on. The parties have until Thursday

to respond to the document. Here's our political

correspondent, Gareth Gordon. They were no sooner in a they were

out with a document outlining a programme for Government, so what do

they think? We are very, very far off a substantial programme for

Government that meets the needs of all those people who express their

anger in this election. There are three tests. First, is a

progressive, three tests. First, is a

Nesbitt met the Chief Constable to night's murder. We left the

Executive as a protest over murders on the streets and the denial by

Sinn Fein over the assessment regarding the IRA. It is

disappointing that the IRA are still in existence, but Sinn Fein and the

IRA will not dictate how we use our in existence, but Sinn Fein and the

mandate full stop it certainly does not encourage us back into the

Cammack executive, that there are other tests. What happens next? They

have been given unsought Thursday to make a formal initial response, that

is also the day the new Assembly meets for the first time, thus

beginning a fortnight long negotiation. But what have they been

asked to agree on? Sources close to the negotiations describe what will

eventually emerge as a framework programme for Government. At the end

of this year, a detailed programme for Government will be produced.

There will also be a Budget for the next 3-4 years and documents setting

out strategies on the economy, capital investment and social

policy. Sources say they have looked closely at the model that Scotland,

for a series of outcomes described by the Government wants to achieve

for a series of outcomes described over the next decade. They say this

is not a programme for one Assembly mandate. The impression is now

unavoidable that Sinn Fein and the DUP have decided that the way they

wants to go forward. The other parties have very big decisions to

make. A man has been jailed

Belfast Shipyard is preparing for a new launch.

Not a ship, but the world's most powerful tidal energy turbine.

It's just been assembled and our business correspondent

The turbine has taken a year to build and unlike other tidal units,

it will float on the water rather than be fixed to the sea bed. What

is painted yellow will appear above the surface. The yard last made a

ship 13 years ago and it is now reborn as marine engineering

business and the company behind this turbine nose of the importance of

new work. Iconic places like Harland and Wolff do we need to see new

businesses and industries started, so I think it is a very telling and

hopefully a good indicator that perhaps these are the beginnings of

new shoots that could see yobs like Ghana continue to be great

industrial players going into the future. In coming days, a famous

shipyard crane will lower 500 turners of new technology into

Belfast -- Belfast Lough, is destination after trials on the

Orkney Islands. Under the belly of this beast, rotor blades will extend

outwards to capture the par of the sea. The machine is a two megawatts

tidal turbine which is the largest to date. It is capable of generating

enough power for several thousand homeless and is probably similar in

scale to some of the large wind turbines use the onshore. The yard

faces challenging times and recently announced 60 job losses, about one

third of its core workforce. And as it prepares to launch this turbine,

it is seeking out new pipelines of work. Of course, this is a much,

much quieter place than when 35,000 people worked here in its heyday as

one of the world's great shipyards. But there remains a heartbeat at

Harland and Wolff. The Ulster University building

about the young man who came so close to achieving his dream.

about the young man who came were used as goalposts, it

about the young man who came obvious that the shy, Jimmy and

savour winger wearing his favourite Manchester United top stood out.

Adrian Doherty really caught the eye. As a player coming he was

electric. His speed, off the mark was frightening, really. Many of the

youngsters here dream of signing for a top Premiership club. Adrian

Doherty managed to achieve that dream. When he came back, there was

a coach over the. Jimmy dream. When he came back, there was

would spend hours practising in the back garden in Strabane and soon

found himself on his way to Old Trafford for a trial. Afterward, the

phone rang. Alex Ferguson rang me at home. He said he'd like to talk to

us, because he was really keen to sign Adrian. He said the reason was

because he said he wanted to bring young lads to trials and they have a

check list and Adrian was the only person to tick all the boxes. So is

that normally, we bring people over and coach them, but with Adrian,

that normally, we bring people over felt we wouldn't have to do that. So

that was a compliment. In this rare footage, Adrian Doherty played for a

derris select side that inflicted their first defeat on Dublin side

home farm in over 60 matches. He scored both goals, impressing the

crowd who were there to see a friendly between Derry City and

Nottingham Forest. Signing for Manchester United was the ultimate

for a teenager who was also wanted by Arsenal and Nottingham Forest. It

also brings pressure to. Manchester United have always find the best, so

that sort of age-group, 15, 16, 17, he is amongst the very best in

Europe. That is the way it is communal cut it like that and

sometimes it would have been like that. United do not sign a bad

players. They find the best, because they want to wait and the best and

the players and then have to get better with the better players in

the football club themselves, so you put him on that level and that is

the career that essentially could have had. Adrian Doherty played for

the Northern Ireland schoolboys against Brazil at Windsor Park

alongside them on the sub bench than I was a man who will go one to

manage at the highest level. Adrian was a fantastic player. The young

player I had heard about and I had played with him in Derry and we went

on to play together in the international team. He was an

incredible football player, from a really good family, good people. I

don't think I would never forget him. We shared a room where is to

travel will be played in the Northern Ireland under 16 team. He

was intelligent and a wonderful young player. A whole career in

front of him. So, how good was Adrian Doherty? To get an

indication, it is best to talk to those who played with him. I've come

to the United training facility outside Manchester to talk to a

young lad who played on the other wing. A certain Ryan Giggs. I would

play on the left, he would play on the right and we were quite similar.

In regards to the fight we liked to be people. But what sticks out is

his bravery. He was not big, like me copy was quite skinny, small framed.

But he would just take the ball and it didn't matter if it was going

through the back or tackling or fouling, he would just go up and

demand the ball again. He was a brilliant talent and it was a

pleasure to play with him at that time. He was one of those players

were you just watch and do something in training and you just end up

smiling so yourself, because you can't believe what you've just seen.

Ryan Giggs speaking there. And tomorrow, we'll focus

on Adrian Doherty's time For the first practice

of the North West 200, the top road racers

thankfully this year had Stephen Watson is overlooking

the grid in the sunshine. Hello. After some very difficult

years because of the weather, at last, a perfect day for practice.

The sun has been shining all day and the high-temperature 's were matched

by some very high speeds around this nine mile circuit on the closed

public roads between this town and others. Some riders going faster

than 200 mph. It was an encouraging day for a local man who is trying to

become the most successful rider in the history of

It helps me to relax, I always say we come here relaxed and it goes

fast straightaway, gone very well. We are not 1 million miles away. He

was the most consistent performer, be the fastest man of the day was

another local favourite, Michael Dunlop. The four-time winner here

topped the two per bike standings and along the way, smashed the two

and a miles per hour barrier through the speed trap. 203, which you

always talk about doing two and a mile an hour, I've never done that,

so to do 203 is steady enough. Also going well and leading the way was

Martin Jessup. But one of the stories of the day came from

44-year-old Michael Rutter. The 13 time north-westward as stopped the

class to the delight of the crowds on the coast. Some were old enough

to understand. I'm joined by an 11 times Northwest 200 winner here, so

many storylines today. Firstly, can Alistair Seeley winner number 16 at

the North West this year? He has six chances this year, so we has a good

history, and has been a winner here before. Realistically, you should

win one out of those six. But it will be very competent it. Yes,

very, because we spoke to Michael Dunlop earlier today and it was his

dad's record he is trying to take, so to take is that's record of

Michael Dunlop will not be easy. Michael Dunlop today fell at -- went

at 203 mph to the speed trap, one of many riders going at a frighteningly

fast speed. What's it like to travel on a motorcycle at that speed?

Unbelievable! The best feeling ever, and better than that, full of

adrenaline. No wonder we were there when it came in after that fastest

lap and the team or so happy. You spoke to him after he was so happy,

what an achievement for them. He's had a tough last year with no

results that he could compare to what he normally has and he's got

this year started off and the whole first night of practice in the

Superbike race, that is an achievement. It has been a slickly

run the day, helped by some lovely sunshine and the north coast, it

makes a difference. I thought about it early and spoke with people, this

is the best Tuesday practice we have had at the Northwest 200 for a long

time. I think Mervyn probably didn't know what was wrong today, by my

counting we even stopped early. Usually it is getting dark and we

are scraping through a few more minutes to get through, but it was a

great day. There's been some outstanding performances today,

we've got Michael Rutter being the fastest man in the production race.

Thank you very much. Then Wilson had a crush today, broke his leg, but

his team tells me he is in good spirits.

The weather forecast is next with Angie Phillips.

A lot of dry weather to come after bit of a hiccup tomorrow morning and

it was mixed earlier today, for some of sorts shy, particularly towards

it was mixed earlier today, for some the North, while others were stuck

it was mixed earlier today, for some in the cloud for a time earlier

today. That cloud produced some showers. That has been edging away

westwards and it has cheered up quite nicely, with temperatures up

to 22 degrees. It is now quite a nice evening with sunshine to end

the day. But overnight, the clouds will gather and we have another

batch of rain heading our way and the breeze continues to pick up.

They will be a cold night, 10-12d and without moisture in the air, it

will feel a bit buggy. Tomorrow, things will eventually improve and

it is not looking like a good start for some parts. The north coast may

not be too wet, but Central and southern areas most prone to the

rain, not very pleasant and of course, it means you may need your

umbrella first thing that the Balmoral show. But by the afternoon,

hopefully you will be putting on your sunglasses. That's a drier,

brighter weather starts to move in from the north and eased as we go

into the afternoon. Still fresh on the coast, but that breeze, 16-17d,

in Atlanta the south and west, some could be seen 20, maybe 21 degrees.

It stays dry food tomorrow night, still a bit breezy, that breeze is

as often as we go into Thursday, for the most bar dry, pleasant spells of

summer, highs of 18-20d towards southern areas in the South West,

but as we head towards the weekend, the drag in air from the north,

pressure tries to build from the West and those of northerly is bring

the temperatures down, but the high brings a lot of dry weather.

Goodbye.
