:01:24. > :01:27.But he has now been told to pay millions of pounds and has lost

:01:43. > :01:44.Bangor Provident Trust and Victoria Housing,
:01:45. > :01:49.containing some 500 homes in Belfast and North Down.
:01:50. > :01:52.In the mid '80s Mr Tughan converted them into charities
:01:53. > :02:03.On our taxable revenues we paid no tax nor did we pay any capital gains
:02:04. > :02:05.tax on any properties that we happened to sell.
:02:06. > :02:14.When the charity watchdog was set up in 2010, it began investigating
:02:15. > :02:19.As a result Mr Tughan has been removed as a trustee and has lost
:02:20. > :02:26.Now he's arguing Bangor and Victoria are not in fact charities at all,
:02:27. > :02:32.I'm afraid I am going to have to fight this because it is wrong.
:02:33. > :02:37.There is an injustice being done here.
:02:38. > :02:42.They have grabbed control of Tughan family property and I regard it

:04:19. > :04:21.Our economics and business editor John Campbell is here.
:04:22. > :04:35.This is money which is already in the Stormont budget but which hasn't
:04:36. > :04:40.been spent, so about three times a year the Executive meet to decide
:04:41. > :04:44.how to reallocate this. Traditionally most of it goes to
:04:45. > :04:51.health because it's the biggest apartment and of the 175 million
:04:52. > :04:52.allocated today, 72 million is going into the health service.
:04:53. > :04:54.What did the minister say about that health spending?
:04:55. > :05:03.He said that Russia is in the health service are well known, Michelle
:05:04. > :05:09.O'Neill said the department needed extra funding, so he said it will
:05:10. > :05:12.help meet some of the pressures but he also referred to the work being
:05:13. > :05:14.done to look at the structure of the health service and said many is not
:05:15. > :05:20.the only answer. I think in anyone's language
:05:21. > :05:22.that is a significant commitment to health,
:05:23. > :05:28.but as we are all aware and has been repeated
:05:29. > :05:30.across the house by all parties, additional funding to health does
:05:31. > :05:33.not address the underlying issues, so it is important that the reforms
:05:34. > :05:35.identified by Professor Bengoa substantial reforms
:05:36. > :05:48.to our health service. Aside from the money for health,
:05:49. > :05:54.there is an extra 30 million for education, 25 million for roads and
:05:55. > :05:59.20 million for education. The SDLP said the extra money for education
:06:00. > :06:01.does not even cover the additional National Insurance contributions
:06:02. > :06:07.schools will now have to make so it is not new money. We should also
:06:08. > :06:11.remember the amount of money Stormont gets from Westminster will
:06:12. > :06:16.fall in the next few years so while there were no cuts announced today,
:06:17. > :06:17.we cannot rule out more cuts in the next few years.
:06:18. > :06:19.The Chief Constable has said he's surprised the Police Ombudsman
:06:20. > :06:21.didn't arrest and charge the officers he said
:06:22. > :06:23.colluded with loyalists in the Loughinisland murders.
:06:24. > :06:26.A UVF gang shot dead six Catholics in the County Down
:06:27. > :06:32.And last week an Ombudsman report said the killers had been protected
:06:33. > :06:38.Our home affairs correspondent Vincent Kearney reports.
:06:39. > :06:43.Families of the victims of the UVF attack said they'd been vindicated
:06:44. > :06:45.when the Police Ombudsman said police officers had
:06:46. > :06:55.They also made it clear they want action to be taken
:06:56. > :07:06.Today we finally have a report by the ombudsman that vindicates our
:07:07. > :07:11.suspicions that the truth about these murders was covered up by the
:07:12. > :07:16.very people, the police, who were supposed to be protecting us. We
:07:17. > :07:21.need justice and accountability from those in authority. It appears there
:07:22. > :07:24.has been a per version of justice on an industrial scale.
:07:25. > :07:26.It's the responsibility of the Police Ombudsman
:07:27. > :07:27.to investigate alleged criminal behaviour by current
:07:28. > :07:30.His investigators also have the power to arrest
:07:31. > :07:33.suspects, and can recommend that they face charges.
:07:34. > :07:35.Michael Maguire was highly critical of some members
:07:36. > :07:40.He said police informers involved in the Loughinisland attack,
:07:41. > :07:42.and the importation of a huge consignment
:07:43. > :07:51.of weapons from South Africa, had been protected.
:07:52. > :07:56.Some police officers placed more value on collecting information and
:07:57. > :07:58.protecting sources than on preventing crime.
:07:59. > :08:00.But he didn't have any of them arrested.
:08:01. > :08:02.And he didn't send any files to the Public Prosecution Service
:08:03. > :08:04.recommending that they should face charges.
:08:05. > :08:07.In an interview for tonight's BBC Spotlight programme,
:08:08. > :08:11.the Chief Constable has expressed surprise.
:08:12. > :08:15.There does seem to be some sort of distance between the strength
:08:16. > :08:18.of the language in the report and the fact that we're not having
:08:19. > :08:28.police officers even reported to the PPS.
:08:29. > :08:32.If I got to a point where I was convinced in a very clear way
:08:33. > :08:34.that collusion was a key element of the Loughinisland murders,
:08:35. > :08:37.then I'd be looking to take that conclusion into evidence
:08:38. > :08:45.through arrests, interviews, charges and reports to the PPS.
:08:46. > :08:47.The Ombudsman has said that while there was sufficient evidence
:08:48. > :08:50.for him to say some police officers had been involved in collusion,
:08:51. > :08:52.there wasn't enough to support criminal charges.
:08:53. > :08:54.In a statement to the BBC, Michael Maguire said that
:08:55. > :08:57.as a result of the passage of time, some witnesses were no longer
:08:58. > :09:00.available, some documentation was missing and it was not always
:09:01. > :09:05.possible to get a detailed picture of the role of certain individuals.
:09:06. > :09:08.He said a number of related issues referred to in
:09:09. > :09:17.the Loughinisland report are still under investigation.
:09:18. > :09:19.The Spotlight programme looks at the implications of
:09:20. > :09:23.the Police Ombudsman's Loughinisland report at 10:50pm here on BBC One

:09:46. > :09:51.Caterpillar Northern Ireland said it regretted the incident
:09:52. > :09:56.The authorities hope the wind and tides will help disperse it.
:09:57. > :09:59.Our agriculture and environment correspondent Conor Macauley
:10:00. > :10:03.went to the coast today for an update on the clean-up.
:10:04. > :10:06.Even after four days, there's still a thin sheen of diesel
:10:07. > :10:09.to be seen in places along the coast around Larne.
:10:10. > :10:13.From the air, there's a better sense of the scale of the slick.
:10:14. > :10:17.An accident at the Caterpillar plant in the town saw 40,000 litres
:10:18. > :10:21.spilled into the sea off the County Antrim coast.
:10:22. > :10:28.It ended up washing up out of this storm drain.
:10:29. > :10:37.This slick 's red for several miles along the coast. It was a light
:10:38. > :10:39.diesel oil so it is hard to see in the water but you can still spot the
:10:40. > :10:40.sheen in the rock pools here. The East Antrim Yacht Club
:10:41. > :10:43.was having a regatta at the weekend. Its officials felt the full force
:10:44. > :10:53.of the pollution. When I spoke to some of the crews
:10:54. > :10:56.coming in off the yacht, they were complaining about the smell,
:10:57. > :11:00.headaches, feeling no shots from the fumes. -- nauseous.
:11:01. > :11:02.Work is going on to assess the impact on marine life,

:11:11. > :11:18.Where they can't, they're spreading it by hand.
:11:19. > :11:27.We regret that this happened. I wish it had not happened. It is not
:11:28. > :11:33.anything we would have affect did but we plan for emergencies and we
:11:34. > :11:35.immediately acted upon the emergency as quickly as we could.
:11:36. > :11:37.This could end up being a very expensive mistake.
:11:38. > :11:41.There'll be a court case and fine on top of all the other costs.
:11:42. > :11:49.We will seek to recover or cots. Everybody impacted by this will seek
:11:50. > :11:54.to recover their costs and the clean-up and the attacks of this,
:11:55. > :11:56.and the company, that is already a significant cost for them.
:11:57. > :11:58.And Caterpiller may have a little more work to do.

:12:22. > :12:24.He left Portstewart as a teenager to play guitar with some

:12:53. > :12:59.Hotel, he was friends with Janis Joplin, you name it, he has rocked
:13:00. > :13:03.it. I had to read Heinz Huhn in this before meeting Paul, just to settle
:13:04. > :13:10.myself and we talked and we jammed around for three days -- three pints
:13:11. > :13:13.of Guinness. At the end of it, he said, do you want to join a band?
:13:14. > :13:15.This evening, Sir Paul McCartney said Henry McCullough

:14:18. > :14:23.100 years ago Robert Quigg became famous for the bravery shown on the
:14:24. > :14:29.battlefield at the Somme. He went out into no man's land seven times
:14:30. > :14:31.searching for his commanding officer, who was Eric to the
:14:32. > :14:37.McNaughton estate, where he worked prior to that war. Each time he
:14:38. > :14:44.returned with a wounded soldier but not the officer. There was quite a
:14:45. > :14:51.strong bond between them and Quigg felt that he had a duty of care.
:14:52. > :14:55.When I think now of home any people would crawl out into no man's land
:14:56. > :15:02.to rescue their boss, there might be fairly few. It's a fascinating story
:15:03. > :15:06.because it crosses the rich and social barriers of the time. He was
:15:07. > :15:12.a humble estate worker trying to rescue the young squire. When Robert
:15:13. > :15:17.Quigg came home he was hailed as a hero but he was not without his
:15:18. > :15:22.Demons. Robert had his own problems. Nobody realised when he came back
:15:23. > :15:29.what horrors he had seen and been through. Few of the men who came
:15:30. > :15:33.back wanted to talk much about it. They would tell you the nice bits if
:15:34. > :15:39.there were any but never about the horrors they had seen. After a 40
:15:40. > :15:45.year campaign, the Quigg commemoration society is arresting a
:15:46. > :15:48.life-size bronze to Sergeant Quigg. 26 killed in the first day of the
:15:49. > :15:54.Battle of the Somme from Bushmills. One family lost three brothers
:15:55. > :16:02.during the war, but Robert Quigg was the most famous one. There were not
:16:03. > :16:09.any more from Bushmills. We had the only VC north of Belfast, so it is
:16:10. > :16:15.something to be appreciated. What do you think of what he did that day?
:16:16. > :16:21.Some Africa. We have always known about the family. He was never
:16:22. > :16:25.talked about an awful lot but as all decent injuries have approached
:16:26. > :16:31.there has been more interest in him and more people from abroad have
:16:32. > :16:36.been coming over for the unveiling from Canada and England and
:16:37. > :16:37.Scotland. The statue will be unveiled in the village later this
:16:38. > :16:40.month. And you can find out more
:16:41. > :16:43.about the people and events of this centenary year on the BBC's
:16:44. > :16:48.Voices16 website. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
:16:49. > :16:51.were in Northern Ireland today. The royal couple attended a garden
:16:52. > :16:53.party at Hillsborough castle. It's their first visit
:16:54. > :16:56.since their marriage in 2011. The Duke met members
:16:57. > :16:58.of the Irish Guards The couple then spent an hour
:16:59. > :17:01.meeting representatives The garden party is their only
:17:02. > :17:10.engagement in Northern Ireland. We hear a lot about Titanic but not
:17:11. > :17:14.so much about one of its sister ships, the Britannic,
:17:15. > :17:17.which was turned into a hospital ship for the Battle
:17:18. > :17:23.of Gallipoli in World War One. Nearly 100 years after its sinking
:17:24. > :17:26.off the Greek Islands, divers have been on a new underwater expedition
:17:27. > :17:29.to discover more about its fate. The BBC reporter Andrew
:17:30. > :17:44.Bomford was with them. Three miles off the island of sea,
:17:45. > :17:50.deep divers are about to descend. At 400 feet down, it's a challenging
:17:51. > :17:55.and dangerous dive to the wreck of the Britannic. To state of the arts
:17:56. > :18:02.of morsel is will join them to analyse the rack. The divers call
:18:03. > :18:07.her the Everest of the dive world, the biggest ship to be sunk in the
:18:08. > :18:14.First World War. We are using a device the same as astronauts used
:18:15. > :18:19.when they take a walk out in space. Diving in the submersible, the light
:18:20. > :18:25.slowly fades, turning everything the blue, then out of the dark, there
:18:26. > :18:35.she is, a sleeping giant sunk by a German mine. It's amazing, cool,
:18:36. > :18:39.it's dangerous. Britannic was a luxury liner refitted as a hospital
:18:40. > :18:46.ship for the First World War when disaster struck, but miraculously,
:18:47. > :18:51.unlike Titanic, only 30 people died. Still down here or the handrails,
:18:52. > :18:54.glass windows, floor tiles, even the captain's at top, a home now for sea
:18:55. > :18:57.life. -- bathtub. The Northern Ireland and Republic
:18:58. > :19:02.footballers are now getting ready for their next game
:19:03. > :19:04.at the Euro 2016 tournament. The Northern Ireland team
:19:05. > :19:06.play on Thursday. Stephen Watson is at team's base
:19:07. > :19:20.near Lyon in France. Good evening. Northern Ireland
:19:21. > :19:24.haven't had long to dwell on that opening disappointing defeat to
:19:25. > :19:30.Poland because in two days they take on Ukraine, about half an hour down
:19:31. > :19:35.the road from their team based. Michael O'Neill's meant no that's
:19:36. > :19:39.able to lobby have to win the game to give them their best chance of
:19:40. > :19:43.progressing to the knockout stages with world champions Germany to come
:19:44. > :19:52.next week, and the stakes are high but that players say they are ready
:19:53. > :19:54.to respond. The togetherness which help Northern Ireland qualify for
:19:55. > :20:00.Euro 16 remains intact. Confidence proved by the Poland a little, but
:20:01. > :20:08.they are determined to learn from the experience. We know we were not
:20:09. > :20:13.the fans of we all had a lot of effort into that match and that is
:20:14. > :20:18.something we can be proud of. We work hard for each other. We were
:20:19. > :20:23.sprinting to cover each other and that has never been questioned by a
:20:24. > :20:29.Northern Ireland team. We want to carry that on. Goalkeeper Michael
:20:30. > :20:33.McGovern was not overboard in the opening game and is keeping the
:20:34. > :20:37.faith to his team can keep the dream alive.
:20:38. > :20:40.Everyone talked about our games unbeaten going into it,
:20:41. > :20:42.some of those were against top quality sides in high-pressure
:20:43. > :20:44.situations, and over the years Northern Ireland teams get written
:20:45. > :20:51.off but pull things out of the bag and I am confident we can do it.
:20:52. > :21:00.Like Northern Ireland, Ukraine need a win on Thursday and they have done
:21:01. > :21:03.their homework on the team. Northern Ireland have plenty of fighting
:21:04. > :21:08.spirit. They give it everything until the end, they are organised
:21:09. > :21:14.and play a compact game, closing down wingers and not giving their
:21:15. > :21:19.opponents any space. They like to defend deep and head on the
:21:20. > :21:20.counterattack. So real Northern Ireland out of this tournament after
:21:21. > :21:25.one last? Not a chance. The Republic of Ireland were back
:21:26. > :21:27.in their team camp today following last night's one-all draw
:21:28. > :21:38.with Sweden in their opening group The squad took part in a close
:21:39. > :21:43.training session this morning with a focus on recovery after the match at
:21:44. > :21:48.the stud the France, while Martin O'Neill and his players were left to
