:00:00. > :00:00.Here on BBC One it's time for the news where you are.
:00:00. > :00:10.Good evening. Welcome to BBC Newsline.
:00:11. > :00:13.Northern Ireland have won their first match in a major
:00:14. > :00:17.tournament for 34 years - there were jubilant scenes
:00:18. > :00:21.as Michael O'Neill's men beat Ukraine 2-0.
:00:22. > :00:22.Stephen Watson joins me now from Lyon.
:00:23. > :00:48.I'm sorry, we seem to be having some technical problems with Stephen.
:00:49. > :01:00.We'll come back to him later, but let's go to Mark Simpson to get the
:01:01. > :01:05.fans' reaction. We're looking forward to hearing from Stephen
:01:06. > :01:08.later and seeing those goals, those two amazing goals, which have
:01:09. > :01:15.propelled Northern Ireland back into the tournament. As we can see it's
:01:16. > :01:21.been quite a day for the Northern Ireland fans.
:01:22. > :01:31.It is the moment they had been waiting for. And they were very
:01:32. > :01:37.quick to analyse what it all meant. We're not going home!
:01:38. > :01:41.As the fans filtered back from the stadium to the city centre, there
:01:42. > :01:49.was joy on confined. Unbelievable result.
:01:50. > :01:55.I came all the way from Vietnam, it cost me ?1000, it was worth every
:01:56. > :02:02.penny. I can't believe it. How are you feeling?
:02:03. > :02:07.Absolutely fantastic. It is a feeling people felt 30 years ago in
:02:08. > :02:14.Spain. What it must be like back home, I'm sure they are just as
:02:15. > :02:21.happy. What is your message to the people back home? We are not coming
:02:22. > :02:31.home! What was the difference to the match in Poland? Attack, attack! We
:02:32. > :02:41.have the quality. Believe, like the fans do. Aaron Hughes' brother Ian,
:02:42. > :02:51.how are you feeling? If I said "So good, so good, so good." Paul
:02:52. > :02:55.Marshall, Ulster Rugby player. What did you think? I thought the effort
:02:56. > :03:02.all the players bought in, just the energy around the pitch. They handed
:03:03. > :03:11.the Ukrainian team. We're not going home, we're not going home! The
:03:12. > :03:17.party in Lyon has only just begun. And that party is taking place on
:03:18. > :03:22.the other side of the fan zone here, in the centre of Lyon. If I was at
:03:23. > :03:26.the other side, you probably wouldn't be able to hear me or see
:03:27. > :03:31.me. It is going to be quite a night here.
:03:32. > :03:39.Stephen Watson is finally with me. Stephen, what an amazing match.
:03:40. > :03:50.Absolutely, good evening. Not since Spain in 1982 have Ireland born at a
:03:51. > :03:55.major final. It was an amazingly proud evening, and a night when the
:03:56. > :04:01.manager once again proved his tactical pedigree. He made five
:04:02. > :04:03.changes to the starting line-up including dropping Kyle Lafferty,
:04:04. > :04:08.but his plan worked and he masterminded a superb victory. This
:04:09. > :04:15.was a match that Northern Ireland simply could not afford to lose.
:04:16. > :04:21.The added pressure of playing in front of the biggest ever cried. And
:04:22. > :04:25.they got onto a fast start. Craig Cathcart almost gave them a first
:04:26. > :04:31.half lead. Four minutes into the second half came the breakthrough...
:04:32. > :04:45.Gareth McAuley heading Northern Ireland into the lead. Ecstasy.
:04:46. > :04:56.As the rain got heavier, goalkeeper Michael McGovern was forced to keep
:04:57. > :05:00.Ukraine at bay. Then a dramatic twist, as a thunder and lightning
:05:01. > :05:06.storm and hailstones caused a delay. So in the players were back on the
:05:07. > :05:15.pitch. And before the end, Northern Ireland had another brilliant goal
:05:16. > :05:23.to celebrate. Lyle McGinn sending the 18,000 Northern Ireland fans
:05:24. > :05:28.wild. Unforgettable scenes. An unbelievable night. -- Niall McGinn.
:05:29. > :05:35.You see the response of the crowd, what it meant to everyone. It wasn't
:05:36. > :05:40.an easy team to pick. But I felt we needed to get more energy, more
:05:41. > :05:45.running power in. It is a great victory for the squad, they all
:05:46. > :05:54.played their part. That victory was for everyone today. How proud you as
:05:55. > :06:03.captain? There was a lot said after the first game, someone -- some of
:06:04. > :06:08.it a little bit harsh, but we set the tone today early on and created
:06:09. > :06:12.a number of good chances. I thought we fully deserved the victory, and
:06:13. > :06:18.it sets us up nicely for the next game to go and enjoy it. For the two
:06:19. > :06:26.goal-scorers, a place in the Northern Ireland history books. The
:06:27. > :06:30.atmosphere's unreal. It's about the best thing in the world, to be
:06:31. > :06:46.honest with you. It's difficult to describe it at the minute. The
:06:47. > :06:52.feeling was absolutely incredible. It means as much to me as everybody
:06:53. > :07:00.out there. And everybody who has come to support us. A bit like
:07:01. > :07:05.Windsor Park there with the weather! Yes, with the thousands who came
:07:06. > :07:10.through the gate, we want to thank them, and we know they will be back
:07:11. > :07:12.home and all over the world. Showing the support they have, we can only
:07:13. > :07:30.appreciate their time and effort. Well, in the other game in Northern
:07:31. > :07:34.Ireland's game tonight, Germany drew 0-0 with Poland. Northern Ireland
:07:35. > :07:39.are now guaranteed to finish third in the group, which may be enough to
:07:40. > :07:45.qualify for knockout stage, but they may have to go to Paris next Tuesday
:07:46. > :07:48.and get a draw, or better, with the world champions Germany. But for
:07:49. > :07:55.now, Northern Ireland are just going to savour this very famous night.
:07:56. > :08:01.Let's go back to Mark Simpson. Amid those jubilant scenes, some sad
:08:02. > :08:09.news, we are hearing that a Northern Ireland fan died in the stadium?
:08:10. > :08:14.Yes, very sad news. A 62-year-old man, believed to be from Belfast,
:08:15. > :08:20.died in the stands during this -- during the first half. We're being
:08:21. > :08:23.told by the Irish Football Association Chief Executive that the
:08:24. > :08:30.team and all the officials have their condolences to the family of
:08:31. > :08:35.the man. Patrick Nelson says the death of one of our fine sports
:08:36. > :08:39.result of a football match into perspective, and in the last couple
:08:40. > :08:42.of minutes the Football Association of Ireland have also released a
:08:43. > :08:47.statement offering their condolences tonight to the man's family, and I
:08:48. > :08:52.know all the fans here tonight would echo those sentiments as well.
:08:53. > :08:55.Earlier, hundreds of fans braved the weather to watch the match
:08:56. > :09:04.Our reporter Kevin Sharkey was live on air as the second goal went in.
:09:05. > :09:17.There are thousands of fans... And there you have the reaction.
:09:18. > :09:25.Well, there you have it, live on BBC Newsline, the fans' reaction here at
:09:26. > :09:30.the fan zone at the Titanic Quarter in Belfast.
:09:31. > :09:35.The right place at the right time! Some of the days of the news. --
:09:36. > :09:46.some of the day's other news. A doctor who pleaded
:09:47. > :09:47.guilty to falsifying clinical trials on patients
:09:48. > :09:49.with sleeping disorders has been remanded in custody
:09:50. > :09:51.until he's sentenced. The offences took place
:09:52. > :09:53.between 2007 and 2008. All the offences took place
:09:54. > :09:56.at Dr Hugh McGoldrick's GP Some ten patients were unwittingly
:09:57. > :09:59.enrolled in a clinical Most of them would have been deemed
:10:00. > :10:08.unsuitable for the trial. It has been insisted he did not do
:10:09. > :10:11.this for financial gain, But he stood to make ?20,000 -
:10:12. > :10:15.money he has undertaken to repay. Previously the court had heard
:10:16. > :10:18.Dr Hugh McGoldrick had submitted He said this was because they were
:10:19. > :10:24.elderly and would have been uncomfortable using
:10:25. > :10:29.the dedicated phone system. However, today his lawyer accepted
:10:30. > :10:32.he had made up the information The lawyer said this was the lowest
:10:33. > :10:37.point of the doctor's life. The doctor apologised
:10:38. > :10:39.to a wide range of people, including the patients
:10:40. > :10:43.and the drug companies involved. A controversial drilling
:10:44. > :10:51.operation in a County Antrim forest has ended -
:10:52. > :10:58.apparently without finding any oil. The company, InfraStrata,
:10:59. > :11:00.said it was disappointed by its findings at the site
:11:01. > :11:02.at Woodburn Forest Our environment correspondent
:11:03. > :11:18.Conor Macauley reports. After months of controversy, protest
:11:19. > :11:23.and round-the-clock policing causing -- costing ?2000 in overtime, the
:11:24. > :11:28.controversial explorer tree well hit water, not oil. The company said it
:11:29. > :11:36.was disappointed by the results and would cap it and leave. The drill
:11:37. > :11:41.site on land leased from Northern Ireland Water had lead to sustained
:11:42. > :11:45.protests from people who claimed the project threatened the waters.
:11:46. > :11:47.Something Northern Ireland Water had consistently denied. Protesters were
:11:48. > :11:56.delighted by the shutting down of the drill. Friends of the Earth said
:11:57. > :12:00."The earth had spoken". The Green Party said company claims of 25
:12:01. > :12:04.million barrels of oil had been utter nonsense.
:12:05. > :12:06.The family of a man who was struck by lightning last week
:12:07. > :12:08.have thanked everyone for their continuing support.
:12:09. > :12:11.36-year-old George Allen was injured, as were two
:12:12. > :12:13.of his children as he collected them from a school in
:12:14. > :12:27.It's nine days since the moment the lightning struck outside this
:12:28. > :12:31.primary School. Sharon Allen and her family have thank the community for
:12:32. > :12:35.their thoughts, support and prayers. In a statement they say could -- in
:12:36. > :12:57.a statement they said: parents and teachers used a
:12:58. > :13:01.defibrillator on father and son before paramedics arrived. The
:13:02. > :13:06.family has called for such devices to be available at every school. Mr
:13:07. > :13:07.Allen remains in a critical but stable condition at the Ulster
:13:08. > :13:12.hospital in Dundonald. Two small primary schools
:13:13. > :13:14.in County Londonderry are set to make history by becoming
:13:15. > :13:17.the first to be jointly run by both the Protestant
:13:18. > :13:18.and Catholic churches. The staff and boards of governors
:13:19. > :13:21.of the schools are behind the move, and parents of pupils are now
:13:22. > :13:25.being consulted about the plans. Our education correspondent
:13:26. > :13:28.Robbie Meredith has more. Two small schools -
:13:29. > :13:33.one hugely significant step. Desertmartin Primary is a Church
:13:34. > :13:36.of Ireland school. Knocknagin, also in the County
:13:37. > :13:39.Londonderry village, They've been sharing classes
:13:40. > :13:44.and trips for a decade. Now, staff and governors want them
:13:45. > :13:48.to go one step further, merging to become Northern Ireland's
:13:49. > :13:50.first joint Protestant Parents are now being consulted
:13:51. > :13:59.about the plans, but they're The Council for Catholic Maintained
:14:00. > :14:08.Schools says they are very supportive of the project,
:14:09. > :14:11.as is the body which represents the education interests of the main
:14:12. > :14:13.Protestant churches. I think the churches want
:14:14. > :14:16.to preserve high-quality education, and they can see that can be done
:14:17. > :14:19.very well in a faith ethos and on a basis where Christian
:14:20. > :14:23.values are being maintained. We have had integrated schools
:14:24. > :14:31.here for a long time. How does a joint faith schools
:14:32. > :14:36.differ from that? It will be clear this
:14:37. > :14:39.is a Christian faith-based ethos. If you walk into the school,
:14:40. > :14:41.you will know you are The governance will be different
:14:42. > :14:46.from an integrated school. But there will be a faith-based
:14:47. > :14:48.committee within the school There will be a religious education
:14:49. > :14:51.provision, that will That is the key difference; it
:14:52. > :14:57.will be very much the Christian faith that is central
:14:58. > :14:59.to the running of the school. Ultimately, the parents and then
:15:00. > :15:05.the Education Minister will decide But if they're successful,
:15:06. > :15:16.others are sure to follow. More on the European Championship
:15:17. > :15:18.now, and the Republic of Ireland take on Belgium
:15:19. > :15:20.on Saturday in Bordeaux. Earlier today assistant manager
:15:21. > :15:36.Roy Keane was critical of unsettled I think he's an outstanding player.
:15:37. > :15:40.But if you'd asked me if I was playing with anybody, and they were
:15:41. > :15:45.constantly saying they wanted to leave, and they had a bad attitude
:15:46. > :15:50.to training, I would kick them in training. But I've kind of done that
:15:51. > :15:56.with most players, even lads who didn't want to leave.
:15:57. > :16:00.Is it an advantage with Ireland, who may be more confident after the
:16:01. > :16:04.draw... Are you trying to suggest we are the
:16:05. > :16:07.favourites for the game? I think you've been drinking!
:16:08. > :16:09.Rugby now, and Craig Gilroy and Stuart Olding are among five
:16:10. > :16:11.changes to the Ireland rugby team for the second test
:16:12. > :16:13.against South Africa in Johannesburg on Saturday.
:16:14. > :16:21.There are seven Ulster players in the starting 15.
:16:22. > :16:24.Play has been suspended again at golf's US Open at Oakmont,
:16:25. > :16:30.Rory McIlroy is three over through 12.
:16:31. > :16:35.Andrew Landry leads on three under after 17.
:16:36. > :16:53.Good evening. It has been a great, damp and miserable day. But it is
:16:54. > :16:57.going to stop tomorrow. Overnight tonight though we keep that blanket
:16:58. > :17:02.of cloud sitting over us and the light rain continues. The cloud
:17:03. > :17:06.keeps the can -- temperatures on the mild side. By the time we get to
:17:07. > :17:10.tomorrow morning we keep the cloud to begin with, then it is an
:17:11. > :17:14.increasingly bright day if a little on the breezy side. This is what you
:17:15. > :17:18.will be waking up to tomorrow morning. A few light showers as we
:17:19. > :17:23.go through the day, but increasingly things will brighten up. By no means
:17:24. > :17:27.the worst of the weather. The temperatures across England and
:17:28. > :17:32.Wales are a little bit warmer. That will set of a few short sharp
:17:33. > :17:36.showers. Much more persistent rain across the East coast of Scotland.
:17:37. > :17:39.But for us, and increasingly dry picture as we go through Friday
:17:40. > :17:47.afternoon, some decent breaks in the cloud. But may be feeling a little
:17:48. > :17:51.cooler than that in that northerly breeze. As we head towards the
:17:52. > :17:57.weekend we have this high pressure building in, which will settle our
:17:58. > :18:02.weather down for a day or two, before these fronts spoil the party.
:18:03. > :18:06.The weekend starts of them on a reasonable note, it will be drier
:18:07. > :18:12.with some sunny spells before the rain starts to return towards the
:18:13. > :18:15.start of next week. So Saturday is looking like a decent enough day,
:18:16. > :18:20.the best of the brightness across the East in the morning. It will
:18:21. > :18:24.help the temperature up to 16 or 17 degrees. And by the time we get to
:18:25. > :18:25.the end of the weekend, it's a bit more unsettled but at least the
:18:26. > :18:27.temperatures are on the rise. who want to show us how good they
:18:28. > :18:37.are in the kitchen. Many of them can sing, dance, act.
:18:38. > :18:42.We don't care about that.
