:01:09. > :01:13.The 34-year-old was planning to take her three young children to the war

:01:18. > :01:23.very strong character and said she knew perfectly well of her husband's

:01:24. > :01:26.dedication to terrorism. The judge added that one of the troubling

:01:27. > :01:32.things was her facility for telling lies. He said she had told lie after

:01:33. > :01:33.lie to the jury during her trial and that some of her evidence was

:01:34. > :01:36.nonsense. Detectives investigating the murder

:01:37. > :01:38.of a man at the weekend are still questioning

:01:39. > :01:40.a 16-year-old boy. Gerard Quinn from Currynierin

:01:51. > :01:55.10pm on Saturday night. It is understood he suffered

:01:56. > :01:58.a wound to his neck. He was taken from the scene

:01:59. > :02:02.of the accident to His twin brother was also assaulted

:02:03. > :02:09.and treated for injuries A 16-year-old youth was arrested

:02:10. > :02:14.following the murder and is being The family are devastated

:02:15. > :02:19.by their loss. Gerard Quinn was a father of one,

:02:20. > :02:24.a daughter, who was two years old. They are a big family in these areas

:02:25. > :02:30.and they are very well known. My reaction was that this

:02:31. > :02:33.was a terrible events to have happened, a horrible thing to have

:02:34. > :02:37.happened and that is what all the people in the community

:02:38. > :02:40.are saying because they know the family and this

:02:41. > :02:42.is a devastation for the family. It is believed there was a party

:02:43. > :02:45.going on here at the One neighbour said he tried

:02:46. > :02:52.to save Gerard Quinn's life. I just saw this body

:02:53. > :03:00.lying at the wall. I was keeping pressure on his neck

:03:01. > :03:05.and the cops then turned up He went to the hospital with a pulse

:03:06. > :03:12.and he was fighting for his life. Those who knew Gerard Quinn

:03:13. > :03:17.described him as fun The minute he came in the room,

:03:18. > :03:24.you knew he was there. Especially at the football

:03:25. > :03:26.in the changing rooms, you get a lot of banter flying

:03:27. > :03:34.and Gerard was always involved in that, always giving stick

:03:35. > :03:38.and taking stick, just fun loving. Everybody knows everybody

:03:39. > :03:46.so the whole estate are just devastated,

:03:47. > :03:48.number and just speechless. That view was reflected

:03:49. > :04:04.throughout the estate. The sentence imposed on a drunk

:04:05. > :04:07.driver who killed a County Tyrone teenager is to be referred

:04:08. > :04:09.to the Court of Appeal. The Public Prosecution Service

:04:10. > :04:11.believes the jail term 18-year-old Enda Dolan was knocked

:04:12. > :04:18.down in Belfast in 2014 and, as Kevin Magee reports,

:04:19. > :04:21.his father wants the Assembly I agree with you, something has

:04:22. > :04:30.to be done in the courts. Enda Dolan's father reads from some

:04:31. > :04:35.of the many messages of support he has received since his son's

:04:36. > :04:38.killer was sentenced. To let you know that we as a family

:04:39. > :04:42.know how you are feeling and support you all the way in fighting

:04:43. > :04:47.for justice system. Musician and sportsmen Enda Dolan

:04:48. > :04:57.was knocked down and killed by a drunk driver as he walked back

:04:58. > :05:00.to his Queens University David Lee Stewart had consumed 13

:05:01. > :05:04.alcoholic drinks when his van mounted the pavement,

:05:05. > :05:06.killing the teenager. Last month he was given

:05:07. > :05:10.a seven-year sentence of which he will spend half in jail

:05:11. > :05:28.and the remainder on licence. Peter Dolan wants the maximum

:05:29. > :05:30.sentence for drunk We have had 108 MLAs appointed

:05:31. > :05:41.to our assembly. We will throw down the guantlet

:05:42. > :05:44.to those MLAs and ask them to change the sentencing from 14

:05:45. > :05:46.years to 20 years. There is no reason why that

:05:47. > :05:48.cannot be done. There is no deterrent for anybody

:05:49. > :05:52.drinking and driving and 14 years maximum sentence is not sufficient

:05:53. > :05:57.under the current law. Politicians at Stormont

:05:58. > :05:59.could change the law The issue of changing

:06:00. > :06:05.the law and sentencing is in the competence

:06:06. > :06:07.of the assembly. If we increase the sentence,

:06:08. > :06:10.it sends a message to the judges that there is an expectation

:06:11. > :06:13.on the part of the public how sentences will begin but it does

:06:14. > :06:15.remain with the individual judge The Public Prosecution Service had

:06:16. > :06:21.been considering whether or not it should refer the sentence in this

:06:22. > :06:24.case to the Court of Appeal. Late this afternoon it announced it

:06:25. > :06:28.will be using its powers to try and have the sentence

:06:29. > :06:47.looked at on the basis If the Court of Appeal

:06:48. > :06:50.agreed to this request, The families of ten men

:06:51. > :06:55.who were shot dead in 1976 hope that a fresh inquest will reveal

:06:56. > :06:57.the truth about the murders. The only survivor of the shooting

:06:58. > :06:59.at Kingsmills gave evidence A report in 2011 concluded

:07:00. > :07:16.that the Provisional IRA 40 years after he was left for dead,

:07:17. > :07:20.Alan Black aroused that the opening of a fresh inquests into the death

:07:21. > :07:25.of his friends and colleagues. Although badly injured Mr Black was

:07:26. > :07:29.the only survivor of what became known as the Kingsmills massacre

:07:30. > :07:34.when ten Protestant factory workers were shot dead as they made their

:07:35. > :07:38.way home. We have fought long and hard with this. So many obstacles

:07:39. > :07:46.put in Norway. Thanks to these people we have got over each one --

:07:47. > :07:50.in our way. This is a red letter day for us to finally get a day in

:07:51. > :07:57.court. The family's fight has lasted Chris decades. They persuaded the

:07:58. > :08:01.authorities there was no new evidence including the one unearthed

:08:02. > :08:07.by a report on earth in 2011 which placed the blame firmly on the IRA.

:08:08. > :08:11.There are still people holding intermission. Either they are too

:08:12. > :08:17.scared to come forward, you have to respect that but you still have two

:08:18. > :08:20.appeal within to come forward. The truth can hurt nobody at the end of

:08:21. > :08:31.the day and we are striving with truth. This afternoon in woman who

:08:32. > :08:39.was a next of kin spoke about this. Most of the harrowing detail we

:08:40. > :08:43.heard before like how the gang intended to kill the only Catholic

:08:44. > :08:51.on the bus, meant that refuse to betray him, and how I'm on the cries

:08:52. > :08:57.of pain, a vicious order had been barked to finish them off. If this

:08:58. > :09:03.is poignancy was heard as it was said out loud in the courtroom. The

:09:04. > :09:08.inquest is expected to last a month or six weeks with Alan Black due to

:09:09. > :09:09.give his evidence as early as Wednesday.

:09:10. > :09:12.Three women have presented themselves to police at Strand Road

:09:13. > :09:14.station in Londonderry claiming that they have broken abortion laws.

:09:15. > :09:16.They say they had admitted either providing abortion pills

:09:17. > :09:20.or taking them themselves, and posted this photo

:09:21. > :09:25.A solicitor for the women says they were questioned by police

:09:26. > :09:34.for about three hours before being released.

:09:35. > :09:36.Rory McIlroy has told BBC Newsline that he may not

:09:37. > :09:40.play at the Rio Olympics because of the spread

:09:47. > :09:59.Rory McIlroy told me today he is monitoring physical barriers

:10:00. > :10:06.very carefully and may not to real if the barriers which is linked

:10:07. > :10:08.to deformities in newborn babies get any worse.

:10:09. > :10:11.He won the Irish Open yesterday and today brought the trophy

:10:12. > :10:18.here where amongst other things, he visited Ireland hockey team

:10:19. > :10:21.bound for Rio and says he is reevaluating whether he will

:10:22. > :10:25.I have been reading a lot of reports about the Zika virus.

:10:26. > :10:27.I know some articles have said it might be worse

:10:28. > :10:31.than what they are saying so I have to monitor the situation as well.

:10:32. > :10:35.There's going to be a point in time where we are going to have to start

:10:36. > :10:37.thinking of starting a family so I don't want

:10:38. > :10:41.I am ready to go to the Olympics and go to real and try

:11:16. > :11:23.Arlene Foster insisted that there would be an Executive

:11:24. > :11:26.by the deadline of Wednesday, and she dismissed suggestions that

:11:27. > :11:28.a non-elected person from outside the Assembly could be

:11:29. > :11:36.That is not we are thinking of a toll at this point in time or

:11:37. > :11:40.something we have really considered. There will be a government and a

:11:41. > :11:41.minister and we look The weather forecast

:11:42. > :11:52.now, with Cecilia Daly. We have some pretty lively weather

:11:53. > :11:59.at the weekend. It is quieter this week. Skies will be quite clear and

:12:00. > :12:04.a chilly night too, especially in the countryside. Temperatures could

:12:05. > :12:08.get low enough for a touch of frost on the grass. We have high pressure

:12:09. > :12:13.and looking after us tomorrow. For much of this week it will be more

:12:14. > :12:18.settled. Lots of dry weather. A week weather from may threaten if you few

:12:57. > :13:01.compared to today. Highest temperatures in the West, 17 or 18

:13:02. > :13:04.Celsius. Wednesday will be a little bit cooler. Still an easterly breeze

:13:05. > :13:10.so should have plenty of dry weather. Some sunshine has timed

:13:11. > :13:13.particularly across the West. Dry conditions for the rest of the week

:13:14. > :13:20.but maybe one to showers on Thursday in particular. That is the local

:13:21. > :13:26.news and weather so far. Our next programme is at six 20 5am in the

:13:27. > :13:29.morning. From me, good night.
