Here on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.

:00:00.:00:11.

The police say it's too early to comment on a motivation for last

:00:12.:00:15.

night's murder of Daniel Murray in West Belfast.

:00:16.:00:19.

The partner of the 55-year-old victim has

:00:20.:00:22.

He had been injured last year in a gun attack at his north Belfast

:00:23.:00:27.

by a bogus order to deliver a Chinese takeaway.

:00:28.:00:35.

He arrived at the address in Lady Street at about

:00:36.:00:39.

10:20pm where he was shot in the head as he sat in his car.

:00:40.:00:43.

Police believe the fake order was made from

:00:44.:00:47.

They have appealed for information about any

:00:48.:00:52.

Police say Mr Murray was well-known to them and had a lengthy

:00:53.:00:57.

In January this year, in an unrelated incident, he spoke after

:00:58.:01:05.

witnessing a West Belfast car accident as he held his

:01:06.:01:08.

He actually jumped into my arms and head-butted me.

:01:09.:01:15.

They murdered man had been targeted before.

:01:16.:01:17.

In March last year he was shot in the

:01:18.:01:27.

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

:01:28.:01:30.

He strongly maintained his innocence and said he was not going to leave

:01:31.:01:35.

his home, even though his partner had wanted to and feared

:01:36.:01:38.

His partner had to break into her own house this morning

:01:39.:01:41.

because the keys are believed to be part of the police investigation.

:01:42.:01:45.

She spoke of their battle to find out why Daniel Murray had been

:01:46.:01:48.

I never thought a year ago I would be

:01:49.:01:54.

sitting in this position of having to bury him.

:01:55.:01:56.

I keep thinking he's just going to come back.

:01:57.:02:07.

Having had this attack before, were you prepared for

:02:08.:02:09.

After the last time, we went to every

:02:10.:02:14.

political party we could think of and no one knew

:02:15.:02:18.

We don't know who has done it or understand.

:02:19.:02:30.

Everybody in the community knows and these people

:02:31.:02:32.

You can't think of any reason, though there

:02:33.:02:40.

was talk at the time he was dealing in drugs?

:02:41.:02:42.

He has never, ever been convicted of drugs.

:02:43.:02:45.

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

:02:46.:02:55.

The police have refused to speculate on the motive for the

:02:56.:02:57.

killing or the allegation that dissident Republicans were involved.

:02:58.:03:04.

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

:03:05.:03:07.

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

:03:08.:03:14.

Clearly it's a matter of concern there have been

:03:15.:03:16.

three shooting incidents within Belfast in the last 24 hours,

:03:17.:03:18.

however, we're not making a link between those incidents

:03:19.:03:20.

We are keeping an open mind and I would appeal to anyone with

:03:21.:03:25.

any information of any of those incidents to come forward.

:03:26.:03:29.

They will be a postmortem on Mr Murray's body tomorrow

:03:30.:03:31.

A senior detective has told the inquest into the death

:03:32.:03:36.

of Arlene Arkinson that she was a "forgotten victim".

:03:37.:03:39.

Norman Baxter briefly led the police inquiry into the teenager's

:03:40.:03:41.

He said the prime suspect Robert Howard could have

:03:42.:03:45.

been charged with her murder years earlier.

:03:46.:03:47.

Arlene Arkinson went missing after a night

:03:48.:03:52.

Eight years later in 2002 this man, now retired,

:03:53.:04:02.

Detective Superintendent Norman Baxter, took over the inquiry,

:04:03.:04:03.

In court, Norman Baxter said he found

:04:04.:04:15.

the inquiry in a vague position, neither closed nor open and felt

:04:16.:04:18.

the Arkinson family had not been well treated.

:04:19.:04:21.

He assembled new team team with resources and

:04:22.:04:23.

although her body has never been found, in just over to 12 months, he

:04:24.:04:27.

And he added later that Robert Howard could

:04:28.:04:44.

Robert Howard was brought in for interview,

:04:45.:04:47.

already on remand for the murder of 14-year-old

:04:48.:04:49.

Her body had been found in Kent, just as Mr Baxter

:04:50.:04:56.

The court heard that after he was charged

:04:57.:04:59.

with Arlene's murder, Howard lost control.

:05:00.:05:02.

Within a few hours, Mr Baxter said Robert Howard asked to

:05:03.:05:05.

see him, extremely agitated and totally dishevelled as well as very

:05:06.:05:08.

He said he seemed to indicate he may cooperate with the

:05:09.:05:15.

police to help find Arlene's body and asked if he might serve his

:05:16.:05:22.

sentence in Maghaberry prison in Northern Ireland, which he thought

:05:23.:05:24.

that a better conditions than prisons in England.

:05:25.:05:26.

Later, Howard was convicted of the murder of

:05:27.:05:29.

He did stand trial in 2005 for murdering Arlene,

:05:30.:05:35.

The jury he had not known about his other crimes.

:05:36.:05:38.

He died in prison in England last year.

:05:39.:05:43.

The SDLP say a new outline programme for Government is a long way short

:05:44.:05:46.

The five main political parties have until Thursday to respond

:05:47.:05:53.

to the document and then there'll be to weeks of negotiation.

:05:54.:05:56.

Here's our political correspondent Gareth Gordon.

:05:57.:06:01.

They were no sooner in than they were out with

:06:02.:06:05.

a document outlining a programme for Government,

:06:06.:06:07.

We are very, very far off a substantial programme for

:06:08.:06:11.

Government that meets the needs of all those people

:06:12.:06:13.

who express their anger in this election.

:06:14.:06:17.

sensed a collective will around the table to deliver it?

:06:18.:06:25.

The third test is a security situation, the one

:06:26.:06:28.

which caused the party to leave the Executive.

:06:29.:06:31.

This afternoon, Mr Nesbitt met the Chief Constable to

:06:32.:06:35.

discuss shootings, including last night's murder.

:06:36.:06:38.

We left the Executive as a protest over murders

:06:39.:06:40.

on the streets and the denial by Sinn Fein over the assessment

:06:41.:06:43.

It is disappointing that the IRA are still

:06:44.:06:46.

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

:06:47.:06:49.

Executive, that there are other tests.

:06:50.:06:58.

They have been given until Thursday to

:06:59.:07:01.

make a formal initial response, that is also the day

:07:02.:07:04.

the new Assembly meets for the first time, thus

:07:05.:07:06.

beginning a fortnight-long negotiation.

:07:07.:07:08.

But what have they been asked to agree on?

:07:09.:07:11.

Sources close to the negotiations describe what will

:07:12.:07:14.

eventually emerge as a framework programme for Government.

:07:15.:07:19.

At the end of this year, a detailed programme

:07:20.:07:21.

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

:07:22.:07:29.

setting out strategies on the economy,

:07:30.:07:31.

capital investment and social policy.

:07:32.:07:35.

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

:07:36.:07:38.

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

:07:39.:07:41.

They say this is not a programme for one Assembly

:07:42.:07:48.

The impression is now unavoidable that Sinn Fein and the

:07:49.:07:54.

DUP have decided that the way they want is to go forward.

:07:55.:07:57.

The other parties have very big decisions

:07:58.:07:58.

Joan Burton is to step down as leader of the Labour

:07:59.:08:04.

The party performed badly in February's general election

:08:05.:08:09.

and won just seven seats in the Dail.

:08:10.:08:12.

Joan Burton was Tanaiste and Minister for Social Protection

:08:13.:08:17.

She took over from Eamon Gilmore as party leader two years ago

:08:18.:08:21.

and will stay on in the role until her successor is chosen.

:08:22.:08:25.

A man has been jailed for two-and-half years

:08:26.:08:26.

after pleading guilty to motoring offences that include causing death

:08:27.:08:29.

Paul Nicholl, who is 50 and from Carnkenny Road

:08:30.:08:36.

in Newtownstewart, was two-and-a-half times over

:08:37.:08:38.

when his car crashed into another vehicle near Sion Mills

:08:39.:08:44.

62-year-old Patsy McCroary was killed in the crash.

:08:45.:08:48.

Nicholl will also serve a further two-and-a-half years on licence

:08:49.:08:52.

and was disqualified from driving for six years.

:08:53.:08:58.

Football now and in tonight's Europa League Play-Off,

:08:59.:09:00.

The match at Solitude was marred by a brawl

:09:01.:09:05.

when players from both teams got involved and two players including

:09:06.:09:11.

Cliftonville goalkeeper Conor Devlin were sent off.

:09:12.:09:15.

Glentoran were reduced to nine men when the captain

:09:16.:09:20.

Barry Holland was dismissed with a straight red card.

:09:21.:09:23.

Cliftonville's David McDaid scored the winner eleven

:09:24.:09:24.

The win secures European football next season and guarantees the club

:09:25.:09:30.

It's been the opening day of practice at motorcycling's NW 200.

:09:31.:09:40.

These so that shone all day on the north coast on what turned out to be

:09:41.:09:51.

an exhilarating opening practice session. Michael Dunlop was the

:09:52.:09:55.

fastest around this nine mile circuit while for another local man,

:09:56.:09:58.

it was an encouraging start as they bid to became -- become the most

:09:59.:10:03.

successful rider in the history of this event. Even in weather like

:10:04.:10:09.

this it is hard to beat a cup of tea. Away from the track, the manner

:10:10.:10:13.

they are all chasing at this year 's North West slows the pace. We chill

:10:14.:10:19.

out, just spend time with family and friends and it helps me relax. It

:10:20.:10:29.

went pretty well, Superbike were second, so we're not 1 million miles

:10:30.:10:34.

away. He was a most consistent performer, but the fastest man of

:10:35.:10:38.

the day was another local favourite, Michael Dunlop. The four-time winner

:10:39.:10:42.

topped the Superbike standings, but along the way, smashed it to do

:10:43.:10:44.

miles per hour barrier through this speed trap. 203, you always talk

:10:45.:10:49.

about doing that, I've never had speed trap. 203, you always talk

:10:50.:10:57.

so to do 203, I think going awry. Also leading the way of was Martin

:10:58.:11:04.

Jessup. One of the stories of the day came from 44-year-old Michael

:11:05.:11:09.

Rutter, the 13 time in north-west winner topped the superstock class

:11:10.:11:13.

to the delight of the big crowds the North Coast, one of those who were

:11:14.:11:19.

old enough to understand. Roads close again on Thursday morning for

:11:20.:11:22.

the second practice session and you can see at all

:11:23.:11:25.

And in the Airtricity Premier Division at the Brandywell,

:11:26.:11:27.

Derry City drew 2-2 with their north west rivals Finn Harps.

:11:28.:11:31.

For BBC Newsline tomorrow, I will be at the Balmoral Show,

:11:32.:11:36.

As well as bringing you a flavour of the show, I'll be

:11:37.:11:38.

:11:39.:11:41.

:12:06.:12:11.

:12:12.:12:15.

feel a bit warmer. Things will eventually improve tomorrow, but not

:12:16.:12:20.

looking too good for some of us through the rush hour, particularly

:12:21.:12:23.

central and southern areas which may bear the brunt of the rain and gets

:12:24.:12:26.

hot -- odd heavy burst. A cookie to hot -- odd heavy burst. A cookie to

:12:27.:12:29.

be disappointing at the Balmoral show kicks off, that things will be

developing England. We see some heavy downpours

:12:44.:12:46.

generally speaking not as wet as it has been today. There will be at any

across Scotland, best temperatures of the West Highlands in the North

Sea coast is cooler with that easterly breeze. For Northern

Ireland in the afternoon, the rain clears to the west, so some decent

sunshine, dry weather and the breeze may be holding temperatures on the

:13:07.:13:12.

coast at around 16-17d but in the land, temperatures getting up to

:13:13.:13:18.

20-21d. Towards the weekend, we drag in a northerly wind, high pressure

:13:19.:13:23.

trying to build from the north-west. Northerly winds will bring the

:13:24.:13:26.

temperatures down, the Baha'is mean a lot of dry weather. -- but the
