:01:28. > :01:31.The inquest is only a week old, but now it has been told that
:01:32. > :01:34.a palm print on a getaway vehicle has been identified.
:01:35. > :01:36.The families have reacted with a mixture of
:01:37. > :01:43.It was a truly dramatic development which took the families by surprise
:01:44. > :01:52.after 40 years of anger and heartbreak.
:01:53. > :01:56.A group of family members arrived here at the inquest this morning
:01:57. > :01:59.expecting to hear more witness statements about the day their loved
:02:00. > :02:03.ones were murdered. Instead they were taken to a private room and
:02:04. > :02:07.told the shock news that the palm print they had known about for 40
:02:08. > :02:07.years had been matched and identified.
:02:08. > :02:10.Now the criminal investigation has been reopened and a senior
:02:11. > :02:11.investigating officer has been appointed to restart
:02:12. > :02:15.The reaction of the families was described in court as emotional,
:02:16. > :02:17.stunned silence, but delight at the development.
:02:18. > :02:20.There was no explanation about why it had taken so long to find
:02:21. > :02:35.First of all, it would have to be welcomed, but it is never too late.
:02:36. > :02:38.We are going through a mixture of emotions, and I have to be honest,
:02:39. > :02:42.the first one is anger. After 40 years we are now told there has been
:02:43. > :02:43.in development. It is hard to take in.
:02:44. > :02:48.It heard that the print had been identified last Tuesday.
:02:49. > :02:51.Lawyers were informed on Friday and the news was broken
:02:52. > :02:58.A barrister said they had come to the inquest was normal but justice
:02:59. > :03:01.but with hope that the truth might come out. The know say they are
:03:02. > :03:07.delighted at the news the enquiry is to be reopened. The Brent had been
:03:08. > :03:13.taken from the suspected getaway vehicle 40 years ago, so the sudden
:03:14. > :03:16.confirmation of who it belongs to has cost some suspicion among the
:03:17. > :03:22.families. Alan Black is the only survivor of the attack. It went
:03:23. > :03:31.through a review in the 1980s, and another one in the 1990s. It is the
:03:32. > :03:36.timing of it. Why now? When they have had it all this time, we are
:03:37. > :03:42.just into the inquest, starting to get going, they throw this into the
:03:43. > :03:45.mix. The truth may come, and I think what is wrong now, there are shades
:03:46. > :03:51.of the truth coming out and everybody is beginning to tell the
:03:52. > :03:53.truth and go into think, whereas before they just brushed it under
:03:54. > :03:57.the carpet. -- what is going on now. The inquest continued
:03:58. > :03:59.in the afternoon with witness statements, and will
:04:00. > :04:02.resume on Thursday. A coroner has found
:04:03. > :04:04.that the shooting dead of Harry Thornton in 1971
:04:05. > :04:06.when his van backfired outside a police station in West Belfast
:04:07. > :04:09.was neither necessary The father of six was
:04:10. > :04:14.shot twice by a member of the Parachute Regiment
:04:15. > :04:16.near to the Springfield The coroner, Brian Sherrard,
:04:17. > :04:21.also found that evidence He said there was no weapon
:04:22. > :04:26.in the van and no forensic evidence on the victim to show
:04:27. > :04:31.a gun had been fired. An inquiry has begun into claims
:04:32. > :04:33.of state-sponsored child prostitution at a former
:04:34. > :04:37.boys' home in Belfast. Public hearings opened this
:04:38. > :04:41.morning into the abuse of boys at Kincora,
:04:42. > :04:43.and allegations that it was covered up by
:04:44. > :04:55.the intelligence services. Abused as a young boy at Kincora,
:04:56. > :05:00.this man came to the enquiry today looking for answers. Kincora was a
:05:01. > :05:05.home for older teenage boys, and operated in east Belfast from 1958
:05:06. > :05:10.until it closed amid scandal in 1980. Three men were jailed in 1981
:05:11. > :05:13.for abusing boys there. At least 29 boys were known to be abused at the
:05:14. > :05:18.home. Over the years there have been persistent allegations of a cover-up
:05:19. > :05:22.by intelligence services will stop at the enquiry today, MI5 and MI6
:05:23. > :05:27.were legally represented, and cooperated with the enquiry. The
:05:28. > :05:32.enquiry has been provided with Phil and voluntary cooperation by all Her
:05:33. > :05:37.Majesty 's Government department and agencies. The scale of the
:05:38. > :05:38.allegations due to be heard at the enquiry over the next week was
:05:39. > :05:40.outlined in stark terms. You will also hear me refer
:05:41. > :05:44.to and you will read claims of state-sponsored child prostitution,
:05:45. > :05:50.paedophile rings, blackmail and cover-ups, which you
:05:51. > :06:00.will have to examine. The allegations against the
:06:01. > :06:05.intelligence services have been circulating for four decades. It was
:06:06. > :06:09.said today that if they are true, they must be laid bare. But if they
:06:10. > :06:14.are false, they must be dispelled and laid to rest. Details from some
:06:15. > :06:18.of the intelligence files which have been handed over to the enquiry will
:06:19. > :06:21.be made public. However, some other files will only be seen by the
:06:22. > :06:26.enquiry team. They will then be preserved in secret.
:06:27. > :06:29.Two men have been arrested by the National Crime Agency
:06:30. > :06:32.in connection with the controversial Nama property deal.
:06:33. > :06:35.The agency said it had also carried out searches at addresses
:06:36. > :06:39.in County Down in connection with a fraud investigation.
:06:40. > :06:42.Nama, the Republic's so-called bad bank, sold more than ?1 billion
:06:43. > :06:51.The president of the Londonderry Chamber of Commerce says he wants
:06:52. > :06:54.the Stormont Government to target the north-west for job creation.
:06:55. > :06:58.His call comes in the wake of 70 job losses at Seagate,
:06:59. > :07:00.which is one of the largest employers in Derry.
:07:01. > :07:10.Around 1400 people are employed by Seagate at its Springtown plant.
:07:11. > :07:12.Many work in specialised conditions where cleanliness is crucial
:07:13. > :07:17.Seagate makes a tiny part for a hard drive.
:07:18. > :07:20.It allows consumers to store a vast amount of information -
:07:21. > :07:27.Due to the changing nature of the marketplace and consumer
:07:28. > :07:31.demand, Seagate's now undergoing a global restructuring.
:07:32. > :07:39.70 jobs are to go at Springtown - 5% of its workforce.
:07:40. > :07:47.how we record our photographs, images, on mobile phones and PCs, it
:07:48. > :07:50.is considered changing and evolving. I think the security that we do have
:07:51. > :07:56.with Seagate in Springtown is that there are a novel lot of RND jobs,
:07:57. > :07:58.working at the next generation of storage device and systems.
:07:59. > :08:00.In a statement, Seagate said it was positioning the company
:08:01. > :08:02.for growth whilst responding to new industry demands.
:08:03. > :08:04.It said unfortunately this required some workforce reduction.
:08:05. > :08:08.Seagate said it's not easy to make decisions that affect people's lives
:08:09. > :08:12.but it believes this is the best way forward for the company.
:08:13. > :08:21.The redundancies will be both voluntary and compulsory.
:08:22. > :08:23.A special commemoration was held today in Belfast
:08:24. > :08:26.for all of the Irish sailors who died in World War I.
:08:27. > :08:29.The ceremony was on HMS Caroline, the only surviving ship
:08:30. > :08:33.from the Battle of Jutland, and this marks the centenary
:08:34. > :08:40.Donna Traynor was there for BBC Newsline.
:08:41. > :08:50.An all 1500 Irish sailors died in the First World War. They were
:08:51. > :08:53.Catholics and Protestants, unionists and nationalists from all parts of
:08:54. > :08:59.Ireland, and some were as young as 14 years old. This was an
:09:00. > :09:02.unprecedented all Ireland commemoration today, as Prince
:09:03. > :09:08.Michael of Kent represented us in the royal navy, Irish Naval service,
:09:09. > :09:12.and the German Admiral joined more than 200 descendants to remember the
:09:13. > :09:15.sacrifice of Irish sailors. They also remember the 1000 men in the
:09:16. > :09:35.Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets who were killed.
:09:36. > :09:42.He left young twins and a pregnant wife in balance in. His daughter,
:09:43. > :09:51.named after the ship he was killed on. For a Victoria crosses were
:09:52. > :09:58.awarded, including the commander. There was an attack against the
:09:59. > :10:03.German cruiser. For those who lived with horror and mental anguish, we
:10:04. > :10:07.remember you. For those with no family to remember them, we remember
:10:08. > :10:14.you. And for those who were forgotten, we remember you. The
:10:15. > :10:16.ceremony here earlier was particularly poignant for
:10:17. > :10:21.descendants of those who were killed. Earlier I spoke to two women
:10:22. > :10:29.whose relatives saw the horrors of the Battle of Jutland and survived.
:10:30. > :10:33.Very emotional. Very proud of my grandfather, and the fact also that
:10:34. > :10:39.HMS Caroline is now a national treasure. And has been restored to
:10:40. > :10:45.former glory. Its So for generations and generations are going to see and
:10:46. > :10:49.hopefully get some insight into what it was like to be involved, live on
:10:50. > :10:56.the ship, be involved in the war, and the horrors that were part of
:10:57. > :11:00.it. Memories I have got from older people aware that he would stand in
:11:01. > :11:05.his doorway, post-war, and he would look into the distance almost
:11:06. > :11:12.vacantly. I'm sure he was recalling absolute atrocities. He would have
:11:13. > :11:17.seen the Queen Mary going down, over 1200 on board, not to mention the
:11:18. > :11:22.noise and how appalling that was. He would have also witnessed the
:11:23. > :11:27.burials at sea of HMS Tiger. There were 28 buried, and I'm sure he must
:11:28. > :11:33.have known them. So I'm sure all those memories must have been
:11:34. > :11:37.recurring. Today is the centenary of the Battle of Jutland. Mervyn Jess
:11:38. > :11:43.takes a look at the role of Ireland during that battle, from those who
:11:44. > :11:49.served in the Royal navy and also those who gave safe haven to the
:11:50. > :11:53.fleet at the outbreak of war. Mark Doherty on board the newly
:11:54. > :11:58.refurbished HMS Caroline. The last surviving ship from the Battle of
:11:59. > :12:06.Jutland century ago. But this is not just some passing interest in
:12:07. > :12:09.100-year-old naval conflict. Great uncle, was a 22 old engine room
:12:10. > :12:16.stalker. He was killed when his ship was hit by German fire during the
:12:17. > :12:22.battle. It was a particularly significant ship, one of the first
:12:23. > :12:30.to encounter the Germans. There were 99 men killed, 51 injured. The ship
:12:31. > :12:33.itself was hit 14 times. This time that it was head was particularly
:12:34. > :12:39.significant, so it was quite possible he was killed that time. It
:12:40. > :12:51.was the only major naval engagement of the First World War. Jordan 50
:12:52. > :12:56.ships crews by 100 -- many sailors... Among the Royal Navy dead
:12:57. > :13:03.were around 350 Irish men, many of them teenagers. Some of whom had
:13:04. > :13:07.signed up by just 15 years of age. On a day like today it is just as
:13:08. > :13:11.calm and picturesque as sport as you're likely to find, but at 94
:13:12. > :13:17.gene this was a very different scene as this became the home base of the
:13:18. > :13:21.British fleet at the outbreak of the First World War. -- in 1914. It is
:13:22. > :13:25.estimated as many as 10,000 sailors from Ireland served in the Navy
:13:26. > :13:30.during the First World War. The arrival of the fleet at Lough Swilly
:13:31. > :13:36.in Donegal was a big boost at that time. Both would have done very well
:13:37. > :13:40.from selling fresh vegetables and brothers at the time, so I think
:13:41. > :13:46.anyway to make a few pounds would have been very helpful. It must have
:13:47. > :13:55.been some site. 40 vessels along this, as you can see today, very
:13:56. > :14:00.tranquil and beautiful. People here eventually wed and serve at the
:14:01. > :14:07.Battle of Jutland. Five years ago a permanent memorial was erected here.
:14:08. > :14:14.They are proud of their history now. It may have been less talked about
:14:15. > :14:18.in previous times, but we have about 500 people coming every year to
:14:19. > :14:23.commemorate this event. I know package also from a surviving
:14:24. > :14:30.letter. He was having a difficult time at sea away from his family,
:14:31. > :14:35.very alien environment for a modest country boy, as he was, coming from
:14:36. > :14:44.a little cottage. It is quite moving when you begin to get involved in
:14:45. > :14:48.trying to get into Patrick Joseph's shoes, or anyone else who was
:14:49. > :14:51.involved. It's good to see that such an effort has been made to
:14:52. > :14:56.acknowledge his sacrifice and the sacrifice of many thousands of
:14:57. > :15:04.others who died on Monday. -- on that day. Mark Doherty remembering
:15:05. > :15:07.his relative, Patrick Doherty. There is a special commemoration programme
:15:08. > :15:08.on the Battle of Jutland this evening, on BBC Two at seven
:15:09. > :15:14.o'clock. Reflections across the UK and
:15:15. > :15:19.Ireland today. A BBC Spotlight programme to be
:15:20. > :15:21.broadcast tonight will reveal that eight children who came
:15:22. > :15:23.to Northern Ireland without their parents
:15:24. > :15:25.after fleeing their home countries have gone missing after being taken
:15:26. > :15:38.into the care system. In 2011, this 16-year-old Somali
:15:39. > :15:42.girl arrived in Northern Ireland, alone. She was placed in caring east
:15:43. > :15:50.Belfast. Just 18 days later, she vanished. This girl went missing
:15:51. > :15:54.back in 2005, when she was just 14. No BBC Spotlight has uncovered that
:15:55. > :16:00.the children who should have been cared for by the authorities have
:16:01. > :16:05.gone missing. If it was local kids, this would be a national scandal. It
:16:06. > :16:11.would be a scandal across these islands. The UK Government has
:16:12. > :16:13.recently agreed to bring more children into the country who have
:16:14. > :16:18.left the country without their parents. Yvette Cooper thinks more
:16:19. > :16:22.needs to be done to find the missing children. I think we need local
:16:23. > :16:27.authorities to take responsibility, but also the police. We cannot see
:16:28. > :16:30.these as immigration cases, it is a serious child protection issue. The
:16:31. > :16:34.PSNI said all these were followed at the time, and the health and social
:16:35. > :16:38.care boards the new procedures are in place and no children have gone
:16:39. > :16:44.missing since 2014. Stormont has to bring in new provisions to appoint
:16:45. > :16:48.guardians to the Qatar separated children. It is hoped this will
:16:49. > :16:51.prevent children like these going missing again. -- to look after
:16:52. > :16:53.separated children. And you can see Spotlight tonight
:16:54. > :16:55.at a quarter to eleven Local motorcyclist Ryan Farquhar has
:16:56. > :17:00.given his first television interview since the crash at the North West
:17:01. > :17:03.200 which left him Mark Sidebottom has
:17:04. > :17:09.this evening's sport. Almost three weeks after the high
:17:10. > :17:13.speed accident, the Dungannon man remains in the Royal
:17:14. > :17:21.Victoria hospital. Another rider lost his life at the
:17:22. > :17:22.same spot in another race later that week.
:17:23. > :17:24.Speaking to Stephen Watson from his bedside
:17:25. > :17:25.this afternoon, the 40-year-old wouldn't be drawn
:17:26. > :17:30.but did acknowledge he was lucky to be alive.
:17:31. > :17:40.Very lucky, especially after all that happened to Malik A. Every race
:17:41. > :17:50.I have done this year, it has stuck with me. And on the Thursday night,
:17:51. > :17:55.I do pretty much remember everything that happened. I remember when I
:17:56. > :18:03.came off, I just wanted to get my helmet off. The medical team stopped
:18:04. > :18:08.with me, and knowing how close they came to not being here, it puts
:18:09. > :18:14.things into perspective. There are a lot of people who have to be -- that
:18:15. > :18:19.I have to be very thankful to. I just cannot thank them enough. After
:18:20. > :18:28.what happened to you, has a change your outlook about the sport at all?
:18:29. > :18:31.-- has it changed your Outlook? I've always loved road racing and always
:18:32. > :18:38.will. At this minute in time, the last thing on my mind is... I am not
:18:39. > :18:46.sitting here at the minute thinking, I wonder can I get myself fit for
:18:47. > :18:52.the gold cup in September, or whatever. The first priority I want
:18:53. > :18:56.to do is just get myself and my health sorted out. Your sport has
:18:57. > :18:59.obviously received quite a lot of negative the weather did. What would
:19:00. > :19:05.you say to those people who have been criticising road racing over
:19:06. > :19:10.the past few weeks? Whenever there has been a vitality or serious
:19:11. > :19:15.incident, that is when people point the finger and say, this shouldn't
:19:16. > :19:20.be allowed to happen. -- a fatality. We all know what we are doing and
:19:21. > :19:28.know the dangers, and this is the downside of it. I will love road
:19:29. > :19:32.racing till the day I die, but at this minute in time, the last thing
:19:33. > :19:38.I am thinking about at the minute is getting my leg bag over a bike.
:19:39. > :19:39.Good to see him on the road to recovery. You can see an extended
:19:40. > :19:43.interview with him on our website. Ryan proudly wearing his
:19:44. > :19:46.Northern Ireland jersey, and will be rooting for Chris Baird
:19:47. > :19:48.and his teamates in France. Now 34, with 77 caps under his belt,
:19:49. > :19:51.Baird endured many lean years Then along came Michael O'Neill,
:19:52. > :20:06.and the rest is history. Always had the support. You can
:20:07. > :20:12.never fault that. They have always behind us, no matter what. Just know
:20:13. > :20:17.it qualifying, it is fantastic for everybody in the whole country. We
:20:18. > :20:20.went to so many bad times, and I thought, can I keep going? I have
:20:21. > :20:26.enjoyed every minute of it, regardless of the past. Putting on
:20:27. > :20:30.Northern Ireland jerseys is fantastic. But no to look forward to
:20:31. > :20:34.this and finally say we have qualified for this European
:20:35. > :20:37.Championships, I will always look back on it, when I do eventually
:20:38. > :20:44.finished with the national team. Belarus, beaten 3-0
:20:45. > :20:46.by Northern Ireland on Friday past, also provide the opposition
:20:47. > :20:48.for the Republic this evening. Martin O'Neill will announce his
:20:49. > :21:08.final squad for France They are starting this final fixture
:21:09. > :21:16.as Martin O'Neill feels the need the. But he will also way up the
:21:17. > :21:24.risk. Robbie Keane suffered a calf problem in training and needed an
:21:25. > :21:29.injection. The other big calls are likely to be in midfield, with 45
:21:30. > :21:36.players in contention for just two spots. This is unlike club level,
:21:37. > :21:40.when you make a decision on Friday about certain players on Saturday,
:21:41. > :21:43.but you will see them on a or Monday evening before the game and then
:21:44. > :21:48.during the course of the week. Some of these buyers will be told here,
:21:49. > :21:53.and it will be difficult. Having been released by Everton as a
:21:54. > :21:57.teenager, is the number of midfielders battling it out for a
:21:58. > :22:01.place in the final squad. It was not so long ago you were
:22:02. > :22:05.playing in the Irish league. Are you prepared for the cusp of a major
:22:06. > :22:11.trigger mental note? It was only five or six years ago that I was
:22:12. > :22:17.buying for Coleraine, so going to major tournament is phenomenal. It
:22:18. > :22:22.is something I will look back over my career when I retire. It has been
:22:23. > :22:25.a long journey to get here, and hopefully successful at this point.
:22:26. > :22:30.Is there a nervousness amongst the squad? I don't think so. I think
:22:31. > :22:33.everyone trusts and the manager to make the best of visions for the
:22:34. > :22:37.team, and I do not think anyone will be better if they don't get a seat.
:22:38. > :22:41.Everyone has worked hard, but I think you have to go on what the
:22:42. > :22:46.manager thinks is the best team and the best squad at this point in
:22:47. > :22:52.time. This is effectively a final audition for a number of members of
:22:53. > :22:56.the squad. Martin O'Neill wants to summit his panel just after 11
:22:57. > :22:59.o'clock tonight. Before that you can watch the best of the action here in
:23:00. > :23:11.court. Nice to see some sunshine in court.
:23:12. > :23:21.The sun certainly shining here as well. Will it last?
:23:22. > :23:29.At least a few more visible, and tomorrow is the start of the summer
:23:30. > :23:33.season. Up north we had temperatures of 21.5, and County Down was
:23:34. > :23:37.generally wireless. A bit of low cloud and Miss play parts of the
:23:38. > :23:41.north coast, especially and the breeze coming from the sea meant
:23:42. > :23:48.there is a contrast in temperature depending on where you are. In many
:23:49. > :23:53.places in County Down enjoy 21 degrees. The ones continues in many
:23:54. > :23:59.bases this evening. I'm sure the barbecue smell will be in the air.
:24:00. > :24:01.It stays dry tonight, but missed and cloud developing widely in the north
:24:02. > :24:08.and will sink feathers. Temperatures in part of the countryside could get
:24:09. > :24:12.as low as for or 5 degrees. Despite that it will warm up quickly
:24:13. > :24:18.tomorrow. If there is missed or a cloud around first thing, it will
:24:19. > :24:21.burn off for most places. Don't panic too quickly. The sun will
:24:22. > :24:24.break through. Increasing amounts of sunshine during the early morning.
:24:25. > :24:29.Temperatures recovering into double figures in many places quite
:24:30. > :24:33.quickly. It may be quite great as you head off to work or school first
:24:34. > :24:37.thing, particularly in the north and west. You can see the sunnier skies
:24:38. > :24:41.developing as the morning goes on, and another lovely afternoon. Not
:24:42. > :24:44.particularly breezy, although the cool breeze towards the north course
:24:45. > :24:49.will mean temperatures are lower here. In general many places will
:24:50. > :24:52.have similar temperatures to today. Another lovely evening tomorrow, and
:24:53. > :24:58.the summery weather continues into Thursday. Well we have this lovely
:24:59. > :25:02.weather, our Weather Watchers have been out in force. If you will be in
:25:03. > :25:05.the sun over the next few days, don't forget that UV levels are
:25:06. > :25:09.strong, and even if the temperature is a little bit lower up towards the
:25:10. > :25:18.course, the sun is just as strong, so keep that suncream reapplied.
:25:19. > :25:19.Good advice, thank you. That is all for now.
