:00:15. > :00:18.The headlines on BBC Newsline this Monday evening:

:00:19. > :00:20.The Chancellor visits and has this warning

:00:21. > :00:26.for those wanting to leave the EU.

:00:27. > :00:34.There would have to be extra taxes on British exports, extra customs

:00:35. > :00:36.checks, and restrictions on people moving to Ireland.

:00:37. > :00:39.How are towns twinned with others in Europe planning to vote?

:00:40. > :00:43.Loyalist Winston Rea gets bail after being charged with murdering

:00:44. > :00:50.A victim hears at the historical abuse inquiry that his abuser

:00:51. > :00:55.was never prosecuted despite admitting what he'd done.

:00:56. > :01:02.Also on the programme, we'll be remembering a boxing legend.

:01:03. > :01:11.Here I am in Ireland, where every visitor gets $1000. They even gave

:01:12. > :01:19.me the Irish shillelagh to help me with my fight, I will not need it.

:01:20. > :01:21.We will be remembering the boxing legend Muhammad Ali, who died at the

:01:22. > :01:25.weekend. Join me live at the Northern

:01:26. > :01:28.Ireland's team boss Mac training camp for the latest.

:01:29. > :01:31.And it's been a day of contrasts - hot sunshine for some

:01:32. > :01:34.but thundery downpours have broken out in some areas too.

:01:35. > :01:43.The Chancellor has said it's inevitable there will be more

:01:44. > :01:47.stringent checks at the border with the Republic if the UK votes

:01:48. > :01:52.George Osborne was in Warrenpoint this morning campaigning

:01:53. > :01:59.Our Economics and Business editor John Campbell has more.

:02:00. > :02:09.It is just a short stretch that separates Warrenpoint harbour from

:02:10. > :02:12.the Republic of Ireland. The harbour draws its customers from both sides

:02:13. > :02:19.of the border. The man who runs this place is worried that the Brexit

:02:20. > :02:22.could cost jobs. This business has grown incredibly since 1982, with

:02:23. > :02:27.the introduction of the Single European Act, because of the freedom

:02:28. > :02:31.of cross-border French traffic. If we were to have controls again, or

:02:32. > :02:39.tariffs, I really think it would be a very serious thing, it could be

:02:40. > :02:42.catastrophic. That was echoed by the Chancellor. He says leaving the EU

:02:43. > :02:48.could make it harder for goods and people to move across the frontier.

:02:49. > :02:51.If Britain quits the EU, that becomes a physical border with the

:02:52. > :02:56.whole of the European Union, there would have to be extra taxes on

:02:57. > :03:02.British exports, extra customs checks, and restrictions on people

:03:03. > :03:07.moving to Ireland. And the Irish president has said there will be

:03:08. > :03:12.border controls. It makes sense because that would now be the border

:03:13. > :03:16.with the EU. Leave campaigners like the Secretary

:03:17. > :03:20.of State claim that an Brexit deal would mean minimal changes at the

:03:21. > :03:25.border. She was not available today, but this is what she told us earlier

:03:26. > :03:28.in the campaign. We had a common travel area with free movement of

:03:29. > :03:31.people with the Republic of Ireland for decades before we both joined

:03:32. > :03:36.the European Union, and indeed that Common travel area already includes

:03:37. > :03:40.places like Guernsey and Jersey, which are not within the EU, so it

:03:41. > :03:45.is entirely possible for that kind of flexibility to continue.

:03:46. > :03:48.The Chancellor also had a warning that the subsidies are farmers get

:03:49. > :03:53.from the EU would not be replaced in full if it is in-out vote. If we

:03:54. > :03:57.quit the EU the country will be poorer, there will be less money

:03:58. > :04:01.coming into the Treasury, less money for public services. And farmers are

:04:02. > :04:03.not getting payments from the European Union, they will have to

:04:04. > :04:07.turn to the British government, a British government that would have

:04:08. > :04:12.less money, so I cannot see how you would be able to keep the same level

:04:13. > :04:16.of support for agriculture. Again, his party colleague

:04:17. > :04:21.disagrees. I'm very certain that, in an era after the UK had left the

:04:22. > :04:24.European Union, we would still be supporting the same kind of farm

:04:25. > :04:29.support programmes of the same kind of regional development programmes.

:04:30. > :04:33.The Leave camp also take the view there is a bigger picture, which

:04:34. > :04:39.would allow our economy to have more opportunities outside the EU. We're

:04:40. > :04:46.gullible people in these islands, indisputable, rainy archipelago --

:04:47. > :04:50.global people. Europe is the only continent apart from Antarctica

:04:51. > :04:55.which is not experiencing significant growth. We need to be

:04:56. > :05:00.whether customers are. Ultimately you are being asked to make a just

:05:01. > :05:07.-- judgment. Do you prefer the Chancellor or the secretary of

:05:08. > :05:12.state's cancer? -- answer? Is Brexit an opportunity or is it simply a

:05:13. > :05:16.risk too big to take? You have two weeks to make up your mind.

:05:17. > :05:19.And later in the programme we'll have the first in our series looking

:05:20. > :05:25.at how people here are planning to vote on June 23rd - and why.

:05:26. > :05:28.The veteran loyalist Winston Rea has been granted bail after appearing

:05:29. > :05:31.in court charged with the murder of two Catholics

:05:32. > :05:37.The killings were recently re-investigated after police gained

:05:38. > :05:41.access to the so-called Boston tapes, which feature interviews

:05:42. > :05:49.BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson was in court.

:05:50. > :05:56.Winston Rea has been in failing health in recent years. The court

:05:57. > :06:00.was told he suffers from a large number of physical ailments. But he

:06:01. > :06:05.was deemed fit enough to appear in court. He was wheeled into the dark

:06:06. > :06:13.by a prison officer. His was given in court, Winston Churchill. He

:06:14. > :06:19.faces 12 charges and denied them all. His family were in the court

:06:20. > :06:22.for the short hearing, and also there a short distance away with the

:06:23. > :06:27.families of the two men he is accused of murdering. John Devine

:06:28. > :06:34.was killed in west Belfast in 1989. He was shot eight times. The killers

:06:35. > :06:40.pushed past the dead man's 13-year-old son, finding the target

:06:41. > :06:44.in a downstairs room. The other man, aged 37, was married with two

:06:45. > :06:49.children. Taxi driver John or Harrow was killed in south west Belfast.

:06:50. > :06:53.Both killings were treated as sectarian killings. Winston Rea,

:06:54. > :06:58.seen here on the left, was a keen member of the Loyalist team at

:06:59. > :07:06.Stormont in the 1990s. Well-known within the loyalism, he is the

:07:07. > :07:14.son-in-law of the late Mr Spence, and was a colleague of David Ervine.

:07:15. > :07:17.Last year, tapes were seized of interviews Winston Rea allegedly

:07:18. > :07:20.gave to Boston College as part of their history project. Today,

:07:21. > :07:26.exactly 12 months later, he appeared in court. He is now aged 65. His

:07:27. > :07:31.case is due in court again on the 1st of August, but the judge said he

:07:32. > :07:34.does not need to appear in person on the grounds of his ill health.

:07:35. > :07:36.A 53-year-old man has been arrested following the death

:07:37. > :07:40.The man, who worked at the Stormont Assembly,

:07:41. > :07:43.was found in the Ballydavey Cottages area last night.

:07:44. > :07:48.The police are treating the death as suspicious.

:07:49. > :08:01.I am here in Crawfordsburn country Park, where people are still

:08:02. > :08:05.enjoying one of the hottest days of the year.

:08:06. > :08:07.An inquiry has heard that a religious minister has never been

:08:08. > :08:11.prosecuted despite admitting abuse linked to a state-run

:08:12. > :08:17.The pastor, who now lives abroad, worked at the former Bawnmore

:08:18. > :08:24.home in north belfast where the victim was in care.

:08:25. > :08:28.Today's revelation came as a shock to the victim as our reporter

:08:29. > :08:30.Kevin Sharkey now reports from the Historical

:08:31. > :08:39.It has been a long journey for this man, more than half a century

:08:40. > :08:43.looking for the truth. More than three decades ago, the abuser

:08:44. > :08:52.admitted his guilt, but now until the victim until today. -- now one

:08:53. > :08:59.told the victim. Drink the last enquiry, he denied it, and all the

:09:00. > :09:06.sudden I found out today that he did abuse me -- during the last enquiry.

:09:07. > :09:12.How do you feel that you had to wait 30 years to hear that he did admit

:09:13. > :09:18.abusing you? I am relieved that I went through the whole system and

:09:19. > :09:23.told the truth, never told a lie. He knows he abused me and hurt me --

:09:24. > :09:29.hurt me, and the fact the police turned around and refused to charge

:09:30. > :09:37.him, it upset me even more. The enquiry was also told that the

:09:38. > :09:40.former care worker also told in the 1980s about his involvement in other

:09:41. > :09:44.sexual incidents involving other people and the various places where

:09:45. > :09:53.he worked. You still looking for him to be prosecuted for what he did for

:09:54. > :10:01.you -- to you? I think it's only fair that he should face me and tell

:10:02. > :10:08.me he lied, or lifted, prosecuted and sent to prison for it. Another

:10:09. > :10:15.man, a Catholic, said that he suffered sectarian and sexual abuse

:10:16. > :10:22.at Bawnmore. The accuser held his head in his hand and wiped away

:10:23. > :10:25.tears -- details were read out to the enquiry while this happened.

:10:26. > :10:29.A man charged with causing death by dangerous driving has been told

:10:30. > :10:33.Two people died and others were injured in the fatal crash

:10:34. > :10:39.21-year-old Shane Kinney was previously told he couldn't

:10:40. > :10:46.That was changed today, but Mr Kinney must stay out of

:10:47. > :10:53.Sinn Fein say threats have been made

:10:54. > :10:55.against Father Gary Donegan in North Belfast.

:10:56. > :11:00.It also says a dozen other people have also been threatened.

:11:01. > :11:02.The party has called for older threats to be lifted.

:11:03. > :11:05.And Bombardier in Belfast has reported an operating loss

:11:06. > :11:09.It has been described as one of the firm's

:11:10. > :11:13.In February, it announced more than 1,000 jobs

:11:14. > :11:24.Back to the EU referendum now and we've heard

:11:25. > :11:26.from the politicians, and business leaders

:11:27. > :11:30.on issues like immigration, the economy and security.

:11:31. > :11:33.But are their arguments persuading people either way?

:11:34. > :11:36.We're visiting towns here that are twinned with others

:11:37. > :11:38.in Europe to ask people how they'll be voting,

:11:39. > :11:49.I've been sampling opinion in Bangor.

:11:50. > :11:55.Bango's Maritime Festival. It is one of the busiest date in the tourism

:11:56. > :12:02.calendar. But as the town explorers its seafaring past, it is also

:12:03. > :12:09.examining its future within the EU. My initial reaction is to leave the

:12:10. > :12:16.EU. I think we struggle to provide education, health, and with so many

:12:17. > :12:24.more immigrants, open borders policy, I think we suffer. Any

:12:25. > :12:36.particular reason? Stay, because it works, it always works. Probably

:12:37. > :12:42.out, the pound more than the euro. Being free from Europe, it will be a

:12:43. > :12:48.lot easier. In the 1980s, anger was twinned with a tone in Austria, a

:12:49. > :12:52.country experiencing a surge in support for the far right. The town

:12:53. > :13:01.'s share an Internet connection -- an instant connection. A man toured

:13:02. > :13:07.throughout Europe, but today is all about attracting tourists back to

:13:08. > :13:16.anger. Bango's tourism heyday was in the 1960s. The local industry was

:13:17. > :13:20.eventually decimated. Mary's family has been serving ice cream to

:13:21. > :13:29.holiday-makers here for decades. He thinks we be better outside the EU.

:13:30. > :13:34.-- we will be. My business is being controlled by people that we do not

:13:35. > :13:40.have a direct vote for. That is my problem with the EU at the minute.

:13:41. > :13:43.Some students from the south eastern regional college setting up a stall.

:13:44. > :13:47.They are learning how to hold events as part of their travel and tourism

:13:48. > :13:52.studies. Polls would suggest that young people are more likely to be

:13:53. > :13:57.pro-EU. At less likely to vote. The students will be voting. It is going

:13:58. > :14:01.to make things a lot more to the called, as a young person I feel

:14:02. > :14:05.connected to Europe, I have been brought up this week, and I do not

:14:06. > :14:11.want things to change and have to make life a bit more difficult for

:14:12. > :14:17.myself. Stay in the EU because I am studying travel and tourism, and one

:14:18. > :14:26.day I would like to travel. Young or old, this is the biggest vote in a

:14:27. > :14:29.generation. A protest is underway at Stormont

:14:30. > :14:33.this evening wear a controversial oil well is about to be debated by

:14:34. > :14:42.politicians. A group of activists opposed to the Explorer to well --

:14:43. > :14:46.exploratory well claim the drill poses a risk to the water supply of

:14:47. > :14:48.thousands of homes. Northern Ireland water says there is no threat to the

:14:49. > :14:49.integrity of the water supply. Victory for Monaghan against Down

:14:50. > :14:54.sees them through to the semi-finals of Gaelic football's

:14:55. > :15:02.Ulster Championship. He was a legend both

:15:03. > :15:05.in and out of the ring, and Muhammad Ali loved

:15:06. > :15:11.to celebrate his Irish roots. And much more than just a world

:15:12. > :15:16.heavyweight champion boxer. Muhammad Ali loved to

:15:17. > :15:18.celebrate his Irish roots. Those remembering him

:15:19. > :15:20.have been explaining why he was much more than just

:15:21. > :15:27.a World Heavyweight Champion boxer. Here I am in Ireland, where every

:15:28. > :15:31.visitor gets $1000. They even gave me the Irish shillelagh to help me

:15:32. > :15:35.when my fight, but I will not need it.

:15:36. > :15:41.But this was no quiet man. Muhammad Ali transcended boxing, celebrity

:15:42. > :15:48.and politics, admired, outspoken and outrageous. I want everybody out

:15:49. > :15:54.there on TV to know it, I am the greatest. He first came to Ireland

:15:55. > :16:05.in 1972, beating his opponent at Croke Park. Muhammad Ali! He came to

:16:06. > :16:10.find his roots decades later, and when the freedom of the town. His

:16:11. > :16:17.great-grandfather had emigrated in the 1860s. There was more to him

:16:18. > :16:21.than boxing. He was an entertainer, the world has never seen the like of

:16:22. > :16:25.him, in my opinion. He was always entertaining, and even, you know,

:16:26. > :16:31.where crowds of kids would follow him in New York or wherever he would

:16:32. > :16:38.be, and he would get out the cards and do tricks. Outside the ring, he

:16:39. > :16:45.won accolades, like a Courage award for transcending sport. And at one

:16:46. > :16:51.gym in Belfast, another fighter is inspired by him. It goes without

:16:52. > :16:53.saying that he was the best fighter in the world, and his character

:16:54. > :16:57.emphasised everything he did, but for me, it was what he did outside

:16:58. > :17:06.of the ring that made him the man he was. And the man that will never be

:17:07. > :17:13.forgotten. Muhammad Ali's funeral is in Kent Akhi on Friday, and the

:17:14. > :17:14.world is invited. -- Kentucky. Here, it feels like we have lost one of

:17:15. > :17:16.our own. Northern Ireland has been basking

:17:17. > :17:19.on the warmest day of the year so far this year, with

:17:20. > :17:21.temperatures hitting 25 degrees. Live now to our reporter

:17:22. > :17:22.Lisa McAlister, who is at the beach

:17:23. > :17:34.at Crawfordsburn. Yes, that's right. People are here

:17:35. > :17:39.today in Crawfordsburn country Park enjoying one of the hottest days of

:17:40. > :17:46.the year, and it is not over yet. As you said, temperatures peaked at

:17:47. > :17:52.over 25 degrees Celsius, making Northern Ireland were read in

:17:53. > :17:56.Barcelona, Malaga, Pisa and Istanbul, anybody who is on holiday

:17:57. > :18:01.will be disappointed. It is a shame it fell on a Monday when many of us

:18:02. > :18:04.had to go back to work, and the circumstances for the

:18:05. > :18:09.sun-worshippers, some were too young to worry about work, while others

:18:10. > :18:16.came up with a crafty way of getting out of bed early.

:18:17. > :18:24.What did you do today? We went to the beach. What did you do at the

:18:25. > :18:34.beach? We were playing in the water and sand. I made a sand castle. Was

:18:35. > :18:48.it a good sand castle? Have you been here all day? A few errors. -- if

:18:49. > :18:56.you hours. -- a few hours. I had to negotiate getting out of work early

:18:57. > :19:00.first. Then I met up and came over here, just sitting and enjoying the

:19:01. > :19:05.good weather. It's not often that happens in Northern Ireland, make

:19:06. > :19:08.the most of it while it is here. We will have the full weather

:19:09. > :19:13.forecast later in the programme, that we understand it is supposed to

:19:14. > :19:16.break tomorrow, so in the meantime, enjoy a beautiful evening. Can I

:19:17. > :19:19.have a 99 please? Yes, Cecilia will be

:19:20. > :19:21.here in a moment. and the Northern Ireland football

:19:22. > :19:24.squad have arrived in France ahead of their opening

:19:25. > :19:26.Euro 2016 game this weekend. Stephen Watson is with the team

:19:27. > :19:42.at their base north of Lyon. Thank you. There are just six days

:19:43. > :19:44.to go until Northern Ireland take on Poland in Nice.

:19:45. > :19:45.The squad has settled into their training base

:19:46. > :19:51.here in the small town of Saint Georges-de Reneins.

:19:52. > :19:57.There are just under 4000 people who live here, but the locals have made

:19:58. > :19:58.Michael O'Neill and his players feel very welcome.

:19:59. > :20:01.Any we've spoken to today say they're are thrilled to play host

:20:02. > :20:04.Many shop fronts have been decorated with Northern Ireland

:20:05. > :20:15.The team had their first, very light training session today after flying

:20:16. > :20:20.in from Slovakia last night. Joe Taggart was with them.

:20:21. > :20:25.Here at last. Michael O'Neill and his players, not just arriving in

:20:26. > :20:31.France, at coming to the European Championship finals as the form

:20:32. > :20:40.team, unbeaten in 12, a record none of the other 23 teams can match.

:20:41. > :20:43.Training for those who started the game in Slovakia, both on and off

:20:44. > :20:49.the pitch, the players believe their base camp could not be better. The

:20:50. > :20:54.facilities, it is 5-star, seven star, whatever it is. We're really

:20:55. > :20:58.excited to be here. We're going into games thinking, we can get results.

:20:59. > :21:05.We know that. They will be looking at us thinking, we are the in form

:21:06. > :21:09.team. They have to be wary of us, our confidence is so high at the

:21:10. > :21:13.mid-dash-mac at the minute. We're going to give it 100% and give it

:21:14. > :21:17.every thing we have got to get the right results. The manager wants to

:21:18. > :21:21.trigger inspirational moments from the qualifying campaign, not just

:21:22. > :21:24.when the players visit here in the media Centre, also at the team

:21:25. > :21:30.hotel, where other memories of home were waiting for the players when

:21:31. > :21:33.they arrived. Everywhere you go, there is a picture of a moment from

:21:34. > :21:37.qualifying, the good times, you can have a look at the little pictures,

:21:38. > :21:42.that was when we did that, this, just reminders of what we have

:21:43. > :21:46.achieved so far. The families have sent things over for us, which is

:21:47. > :21:52.nice as well. Mix it feel homely for us. Nice to have pictures of our

:21:53. > :21:58.families, next to our beds, just to make us feel a bit home. After a lot

:21:59. > :22:03.of hard work the players have truly been provided with a home from home.

:22:04. > :22:05.Sprinklers, not rain over Kyle Lafferty and the rest of the players

:22:06. > :22:05.today. Republic of Ireland forward

:22:06. > :22:07.Robbie Keane resumed training with Martin O'Neill's side today,

:22:08. > :22:10.while concerns have eased over The Republic's star performer

:22:11. > :22:14.in qualification, had knee surgery just a few weeks ago,

:22:15. > :22:26.but is feeling positive Had an operation on many probably

:22:27. > :22:35.about seven weeks ago -- might need. -- my knee. A bit of tendinitis, it

:22:36. > :22:39.clears up a little bit, you have got to settle down, you do not want to

:22:40. > :22:46.push through and come into next week, the week leading up to the

:22:47. > :22:49.game, pushing yourself through it. I have just been working in the gym

:22:50. > :22:52.the past couple of days, pretty tough, and looking to go again.

:22:53. > :22:54.Reigning champions Monaghan are safely through

:22:55. > :22:55.to the semi-finals of Gaelic Football's

:22:56. > :23:13.They walloped Down yesterday. They have a tradition in excellence.

:23:14. > :23:22.Yesterday was different, so different in fact, in order a

:23:23. > :23:32.century of Gaelic games, Sunday's defeat by Monaghan was a shock.

:23:33. > :23:36.Obviously a very difficult situation for 35, 40 minutes, when we were in

:23:37. > :23:42.the game, and then the wheels came off. They were more experienced than

:23:43. > :23:48.we are. Monaghan struggled in the first half

:23:49. > :23:52.but were ruthless in the second. They expect the competition to

:23:53. > :23:56.become more intense. Next week's game and be a very tight game, then

:23:57. > :24:00.the two semifinals will be very tight as well. From here on in, it

:24:01. > :24:07.will be tight. And we're just delighted to be there. Down going to

:24:08. > :24:11.tomorrow's qualifying draw, and as for Monaghan, step one complete and

:24:12. > :24:12.hanging on to the Ulster Championship crown.

:24:13. > :24:15.At the Isle of Man TT, Ian Hutchinson picked up wins in both

:24:16. > :24:21.the Supersport and Superstock classes today to take his tally

:24:22. > :24:26.a new absolute lap record and recorded the first

:24:27. > :24:33.sub 17-minute lap in winning the opening Superbike race.

:24:34. > :24:39.It was his 12th success at the event. He was second in the

:24:40. > :24:44.Supersport Race, but was disqualified because of a technical

:24:45. > :24:47.issue. That's it from France. More at 10:25pm, including a special

:24:48. > :24:54.interview with the Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill on tomorrow

:24:55. > :25:02.night's programme. Time for the weather.

:25:03. > :25:06.25.2 was the highest temperature in Northern Ireland, not quite the

:25:07. > :25:11.hottest day of the year but not far off it. Most of us had hot sunshine,

:25:12. > :25:17.that was not the case everywhere. This video footage came from Co

:25:18. > :25:20.Fermanagh, thundery downpours, and those developed in other western

:25:21. > :25:25.areas as well through the course of the day. On the rainfall radar,

:25:26. > :25:29.sunshine in the East but some big heavy showers across the West. They

:25:30. > :25:33.will continue to ease away northwards through this evening for

:25:34. > :25:37.a while tonight. Rain for some of the gardens, warm and muggy tonight

:25:38. > :25:45.as well. Temperatures staying well up in double figures, and that

:25:46. > :25:47.humidity will continue into Tuesday. Unfortunately the thundery showers

:25:48. > :25:52.will break out in other areas as well. That does not mean you're

:25:53. > :25:55.guaranteed to see rain tomorrow. There will be sunshine as well.

:25:56. > :26:00.Initially the showers will move up from the south west, but the

:26:01. > :26:06.rainfall warning is valid tomorrow for eastern counties, so parts of

:26:07. > :26:11.Antrim, Down, armour will be at risk of thundery downpours which could

:26:12. > :26:19.look -- leads to possible flooding. It will study warm, typically 21, 22

:26:20. > :26:22.degrees, still sunshine at times, and it may be that it is a better

:26:23. > :26:27.day across parts of the West and South West compared to today. Once

:26:28. > :26:31.those thundery downpours edge away later on tomorrow, things will start

:26:32. > :26:36.to dry up again. It is not a completely awful forecast by any

:26:37. > :26:41.means, it looks as though the rest of the week, through Wednesday and

:26:42. > :26:46.Thursday, warm weather around and sunshine, and still some decent

:26:47. > :26:49.temperatures. However, by Friday, that is where we see the real

:26:50. > :26:54.significant change, as widespread rain will move across all parts.

:26:55. > :26:59.Wednesday, some sunshine, most places dry, temperatures in the low

:27:00. > :27:03.20s. Our late summary is at 10:30pm. Have

:27:04. > :27:08.a very good evening.
