:00:18. > :00:31.A man who faced three trials, accused of
:00:32. > :00:35.A challenge in the High Court to a ruling
:00:36. > :00:45.I am in the Match Of The Day macro studio in Paris with all the latest
:00:46. > :00:55.on the football and the fans in Paris. I am at the Parc des Princes,
:00:56. > :01:06.where tomorrow night Northern Ireland take on Germany.
:01:07. > :01:09.Also on the programme... If you can't beat them, join them -
:01:10. > :01:12.the moment the French police got in tune with the Irish fans.
:01:13. > :01:15.And we hit 21 degrees today - will there be more
:01:16. > :01:21.After three trials, a 23-year-old man has been acquitted of what's
:01:22. > :01:30.called the "one punch" killing of another young man.
:01:31. > :01:33.Today as a fourth trial was due to get under way the prosecution
:01:34. > :01:36.said it would be offering no evidence against Mark Donnelly
:01:37. > :01:38.from Greencastle in County Tyrone, who had pleaded not
:01:39. > :01:43.Jason McGovern from County Monaghan died after being attacked in 2012.
:01:44. > :01:48.Our south-west reporter, Julian Fowler, was in the court.
:01:49. > :01:57.19-year-old Jason McGovern was found bed in his friend's home following a
:01:58. > :02:03.night out in Omagh macro. Earlier he had been attacked in a car park. A
:02:04. > :02:10.postmortem revealed he had a fractured skull and died of bleeding
:02:11. > :02:16.on the brain. Mark Donnelly had faced two trials, he had maintained
:02:17. > :02:21.he was innocent but was identified as a witness as being the man who
:02:22. > :02:26.threw the fatal punch. Each time the jury was unable to reach a verdict
:02:27. > :02:30.on the charge of manslaughter but he was found guilty of affray for a
:02:31. > :02:37.fight on the same night. Another trial had to be aborted for legal
:02:38. > :02:39.reasons. Today a prosecution lawyer said they were offering no evidence
:02:40. > :02:43.on the manslaughter charge and a jury was directed to find him not
:02:44. > :02:47.guilty. He will be sentenced for affray in September.
:02:48. > :02:51.A ruling that abortion law in Northern Ireland is incompatible
:02:52. > :02:55.with human-rights law is being challenged in the High Court.
:02:56. > :02:57.An appeal has been taken by the Department of Justice
:02:58. > :03:04.Our health correspondent, Marie-Louise Connolly, reports.
:03:05. > :03:11.Basically the Department of Justice and the Attorney General are trying
:03:12. > :03:15.to overturn last year's ruling by Justice Horner, who found that the
:03:16. > :03:20.Northern Irish law on abortion is incompatible with human rights. The
:03:21. > :03:25.Department of Justice believes the ruling could eventually lead to a
:03:26. > :03:27.widening of abortion law in Northern Ireland. In one of ten opening
:03:28. > :03:47.submissions John Larkin said... The Human Rights Commission is
:03:48. > :03:52.calling for women to be allowed to choose access in the termination of
:03:53. > :03:55.a pregnancy, especially in circumstances of serious
:03:56. > :04:00.malformation of the foetus, including fatal faecal abnormality,
:04:01. > :04:05.rape or incest and without synchronised the doing so. The
:04:06. > :04:10.appeal is expected to last for three days, with a judgment to be made by
:04:11. > :04:16.the end of the year. Football, and this time tomorrow
:04:17. > :04:18.the Northern Ireland team will be battling it out against the current
:04:19. > :04:20.world champions, BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson is in
:04:21. > :04:31.Paris ahead of the game. Move over, Gary Lineker, I am in his
:04:32. > :04:36.seat. I am here for one night only, this time tomorrow night Gary and
:04:37. > :04:42.his panel will be here analysing that crucial make or break match
:04:43. > :04:47.between world champions Germany and Northern Ireland. It is expected
:04:48. > :04:55.around 120,000 people will be in the fan zone behind me watching the
:04:56. > :04:58.game, then there are the lucky ones, around 10,000 Northern Ireland fans
:04:59. > :05:05.at the park to prance tomorrow night. Stephen Watson is there
:05:06. > :05:09.already. Over to you. Thanks very much. This is the
:05:10. > :05:16.fabulous venue for tomorrow night's big aim, what an occasion. The
:05:17. > :05:19.Northern Ireland team have just left, completed their final
:05:20. > :05:25.preparations and training for the game and they look very relaxed. The
:05:26. > :05:29.team will be keeping a close eye on the England and Wales results
:05:30. > :05:32.because if those games go Northern Ireland's way then it could be
:05:33. > :05:38.possible that Northern Ireland can lose to Germany and still go through
:05:39. > :05:41.to the knockout stages. They will of course want their own positive
:05:42. > :05:48.result to make it through to the last 16.
:05:49. > :05:54.The Germans will pin us back regardless, they did it to Poland
:05:55. > :05:58.and Ukraine, I saw them recently and they were 3-0 up after 60 minutes,
:05:59. > :06:03.which gives you an indication of the quality in their squad but we have
:06:04. > :06:08.to set up our team to be difficult to beat and carry on the attacking
:06:09. > :06:12.threat as well. We can only approach the game as a one-off and try to get
:06:13. > :06:18.as much as we can out of it and hopefully that will be enough to get
:06:19. > :06:24.through to the next phase. You are in touching distance of the knockout
:06:25. > :06:33.stage stages, how big an occasion is this? Massive, it is why we are
:06:34. > :06:40.here. We have enjoyed it but it was never our goal just to enjoy it and
:06:41. > :06:46.go out. We have given ourselves a chance to go into the round of 16, a
:06:47. > :06:50.massive success for a country of our size with the player resource we
:06:51. > :06:53.have, but we have some good players and a real strength and togetherness
:06:54. > :07:01.and we want to stay in the tournament as long as we can.
:07:02. > :07:04.It was a real roller-coaster of emotions last time for Martin
:07:05. > :07:10.O'Neill. This man is making sure the pitch is in pristine condition
:07:11. > :07:16.tonight, he is from Ballymena. How proud are you to welcome Northern
:07:17. > :07:21.Ireland here? It was a surprise for me to end up in Paris working for
:07:22. > :07:26.PSG. I knew the Euros would be in France but never in my wildest
:07:27. > :07:31.dreams did I mention that Northern Ireland would end up playing on my
:07:32. > :07:38.pitch. When they turn up tonight -- when they turned up it started to
:07:39. > :07:46.sink in. It is the wettest June in Paris since 1932, how has that made
:07:47. > :07:51.your job hard? Typical, but we are really looking forward to it. This
:07:52. > :07:55.time last year we were sweltering in 40 degrees heat, we were worried
:07:56. > :08:00.about how hot it would be this summer but it has been the opposite,
:08:01. > :08:04.hard work. Can Northern Ireland do the business on your pitch tomorrow
:08:05. > :08:07.night and make it through to the knockout stages? Of course, we have
:08:08. > :08:12.to be optimistic and if they play the way they did last time anything
:08:13. > :08:16.can happen and I will do my part to try to produce the best pitch but of
:08:17. > :08:23.course we are all up for it and let's go for it. Palomino man as the
:08:24. > :08:32.groundsman and also as the captain. -- Ballymena.
:08:33. > :08:41.Rugby fans might be familiar with the venue because the Ireland team
:08:42. > :08:47.played here. The Irish football team will be hoping for better fortune,
:08:48. > :08:52.because the rugby team never won here.
:08:53. > :09:03.In the early 1980s Ireland beat Germany not once but twice. --
:09:04. > :09:07.Northern Ireland. The only time Germany have been defeated home and
:09:08. > :09:20.away in qualifying for a major tournament. Playing in the teams was
:09:21. > :09:24.Jamie Nicholls and now he is in the team's backroom squad. You always
:09:25. > :09:39.felt as an underdog and as long as you go into games like that,
:09:40. > :09:44.feeling, just don't get beat, and you need everybody in the park to be
:09:45. > :09:48.on your side. Also on the staff is somebody with plenty of German
:09:49. > :09:54.experience, goalkeeping coach Mike Taylor. My mum is German and my
:09:55. > :10:01.brother lives in Germany and I made my debut there, so huge fixture but
:10:02. > :10:05.obviously we know what is at stake and we know it will be extremely
:10:06. > :10:10.difficult but on any given day we have roofed in the past that we can
:10:11. > :10:18.come up with the goods and we will certainly be ready. Michael Hughes,
:10:19. > :10:23.no support at the minute. Northern Ireland have scored some memorable
:10:24. > :10:29.goals against Germany. They managed to draw with the then European
:10:30. > :10:34.champions 20 years ago. The class of 2016 would be content with a similar
:10:35. > :10:40.result tomorrow night. The only time Northern Ireland and
:10:41. > :10:46.Germany have met at the major finals was the World Cup in 1958, they drew
:10:47. > :10:49.and both made it through to the knockout stages, so let's hope that
:10:50. > :10:55.is an omen for tomorrow night. We have third about the football but
:10:56. > :10:58.what about the fans? About 10,000 are in Paris and I have been
:10:59. > :11:03.speaking to some. The fans are arriving in their
:11:04. > :11:08.thousands. The welcome in Paris has been warm but wet, very wet. But the
:11:09. > :11:19.supporters are still loving the city. It is massive. In Belfast you
:11:20. > :11:25.think it is a great place to be barred you could fit Belfast in that
:11:26. > :11:36.we corner over there. You stayed in a hotel? We are staying in a tree
:11:37. > :11:46.house. It is excellent. It is different but it is brilliant.
:11:47. > :11:53.Many fans are staying on international campsites just outside
:11:54. > :12:04.Paris and they are all mixing well. What you think of the Northern
:12:05. > :12:13.Ireland fans? Best fans. Will you still be saying that if they beat
:12:14. > :12:19.Germany tomorrow night? No. We are now at the other end of the
:12:20. > :12:24.campsite, how has it been for you? When two o'clock in the morning when
:12:25. > :12:27.Will Grigg is on fire, I had to wear my it plugs last night!
:12:28. > :12:34.These fans from Ballymena have spent the last two weeks camping in tense
:12:35. > :12:39.but they gave up last night. It was coming down in buckets so we decided
:12:40. > :12:44.we would get ourselves a caravan. We travelled all day, we were grumpy,
:12:45. > :12:50.our pitch was beside the River Seine where it has been -- had been
:12:51. > :12:54.flooding so we made this decision. The good news for all fans is that
:12:55. > :12:59.the weather forecast for the rest of the week is sunshine.
:13:00. > :13:06.Many of the Northern Ireland fans have made the big journey from the
:13:07. > :13:14.niece macro -- from NICE to Lyon, how do those locations compare? It
:13:15. > :13:18.has been a different experience for the travelling fans in the capital
:13:19. > :13:23.city, one reason is the weather compare to the sunshine in Nice.
:13:24. > :13:30.Also the geography, in the nicest possible way the green and white
:13:31. > :13:35.army took over the centre of Nice, and Lyon but you can't do that in
:13:36. > :13:39.Paris. It has an overall population including suburbs of around 10
:13:40. > :13:42.million people and the Northern Ireland fans are blending into the
:13:43. > :13:47.city centre rather than the other cities where you couldn't go around
:13:48. > :13:51.the corner without running into one of them. Some of them are running
:13:52. > :13:55.out of energy and money as well but they are in good spirits, they
:13:56. > :13:59.believe there will be a good result against Germany tomorrow night and
:14:00. > :14:08.one other thing is the weather, it makes them feel at home. Thank you,
:14:09. > :14:12.Mark, and later in the programme, how the Republic of Ireland's team
:14:13. > :14:22.is looking forward after the disappointment of defeat to Belgium.
:14:23. > :14:25.And if you haven't seen it already on the internet,
:14:26. > :14:27.a BBC Newsline cameraman captures the musical talents employed
:14:28. > :14:31.You're watching BBC Newsline - still ahead, the plans for 5000 more
:14:32. > :14:35.jobs, thanks to an expansion in tech businesses here.
:14:36. > :14:40.The Remain and Leave campaigns in the EU referendum recommenced
:14:41. > :14:42.today, having been suspended following the murder of the Labour
:14:43. > :14:47.Assembly Members started their proceedings at Stormont this
:14:48. > :14:52.Last week on BBC Newsline we focused on attitudes
:14:53. > :14:55.towards the European Union among nationalists.

:14:58. > :15:02.Mark Devenport begins his report with an historic confrontation
:15:03. > :15:08.on the floor of the European Parliament.
:15:09. > :15:25.Permit me to say how much... Judas! October 1988 and Ian Paisley
:15:26. > :15:32.disrupts a special session at the European Parliament, calling Pope
:15:33. > :15:37.John Paul II and Antichrist. The DUP leader also held the European
:15:38. > :15:42.Community in disdain, describing it as the greatest Catholic superstate
:15:43. > :15:50.of the world has known. This house is already in disrepute. His son and
:15:51. > :15:56.namesake is a leading light of the campaign to end the UK membership of
:15:57. > :16:00.the EU. These days his arguments are political and economic rather than
:16:01. > :16:05.religious. The EU is broken, it doesn't work, it charges too much
:16:06. > :16:10.money, it spends its money on our competitors better than on
:16:11. > :16:13.ourselves, and apart from sovereignty and immigration, which
:16:14. > :16:19.seems to affect England more closely than us, it isn't doing enough for
:16:20. > :16:24.people here. In 1975 when voters last got a chance to take part in a
:16:25. > :16:29.European referendum the Ulster Unionists were firmly in the out cab
:16:30. > :16:35.but times have changed. In the 1970s South Down MP Enoch -- Enoch
:16:36. > :16:42.Powell's Eurosceptic opinions was a staunch opponent -- influence on the
:16:43. > :16:47.Ulster Unionists but now their leader thinks the UK is better off
:16:48. > :16:52.staying in. One of his concerns is the threat to the stability of the
:16:53. > :16:58.UK if a vote to leave Trevor Shoreham Community Memorial Trust
:16:59. > :17:05.triggers a new independence referendum in Scotland. -- vote to
:17:06. > :17:12.leave triggers. I know that Nicola Sturgeon will go for independence
:17:13. > :17:16.with whatever means she can but I don't want my finger on that button.
:17:17. > :17:22.Tom Elliott says he will be voting to leave. Lady Sylvia Hermon is
:17:23. > :17:29.firmly in the remaining camp. The DUP MPs mostly -- most committed to
:17:30. > :17:38.Brexit insists the Ulster Unionists leadership has misjudged the mood of
:17:39. > :17:44.the grassroots. When the results are announced constituency by
:17:45. > :17:48.constituency we should have some facts to back up the opinions.
:17:49. > :17:50.The Northern Ireland Science Park is planning a major expansion,
:17:51. > :17:52.developing around one million square feet of office space
:17:53. > :17:55.The not-for profit organisation, which is changing its name
:17:56. > :17:58.to Catalyst Inc, is also aiming to support 5000 additional jobs.
:17:59. > :18:03.With the details, our economics and business editor, John Campbell.
:18:04. > :18:06.PathXL is a typical Science Park business.
:18:07. > :18:09.It uses groundbreaking digital technology to improve
:18:10. > :18:15.The company started small but is growing fast.
:18:16. > :18:20.It aims to double its workforce over the next couple of years.
:18:21. > :18:24.Like all the firms based here it pays a rent to the Science Park,
:18:25. > :18:29.which then reinvests by providing support schemes.
:18:30. > :18:37.The boss of PathXL says that environment is important.
:18:38. > :18:44.Competing internationally is tough and you need all forms of support
:18:45. > :18:49.and the science Park provides a very supportive environment in terms of
:18:50. > :18:55.industry -- of infrastructure and people, the people who run Catalyst
:18:56. > :18:58.Inc and all the other people. The organisation is based in east
:18:59. > :19:00.Belfast and also has The expansion will
:19:01. > :19:11.cover both cities. It is about better reflecting what
:19:12. > :19:17.the organisation does. The name is about, whatever part you deal with,
:19:18. > :19:21.you will see Catalyst Inc and you understand that it is the whole
:19:22. > :19:27.thing, the machine. At the heart of the plan is three new buildings, one

:19:39. > :19:41.to Belgium at the weekend, the Republic of Ireland will next
:19:42. > :19:55.take on Italy in their final group There has been heavy rain across a
:19:56. > :20:01.lot of the country today and there are concerns over the condition of
:20:02. > :20:04.the playing surface in Lille, so much so that you waiver has asked
:20:05. > :20:11.Italy and the Republic of Ireland not to hold planned training
:20:12. > :20:16.sessions inside the stadium. -- Uefa are has asked. There has been time
:20:17. > :20:20.to reflect on the defeat to Belgium but assistant manager Roy Keane says
:20:21. > :20:23.the players must become more cynical as they battle to stay in the
:20:24. > :20:28.tournament. You have to be streetwise in this game. We are not
:20:29. > :20:36.here to make friends. The fans are doing that but for the players, if
:20:37. > :20:40.you smell danger, if you hold a play up and you can win the ball,
:20:41. > :20:46.fantastic, but if you think, we are in trouble here, then yeah, you do
:20:47. > :20:53.whatever you can to get the right result. If that is fouling, you
:20:54. > :21:00.foul. It is not a crime. It might get you a yellow card, you may even
:21:01. > :21:07.get a read, but your team might win. You have to make sacrifices for your
:21:08. > :21:15.team. What you think I would do? That is what sport is about. It is
:21:16. > :21:17.like boxing, you see a great boxer get knocked down, you get back up
:21:18. > :21:23.and hope for the best. A smile from Roy Keane ending
