:02:56. > :02:59.stand back and say that what we are doing is representing all of the

:04:50. > :04:52.kind of special status? There are significant obstacles both close to
:04:53. > :04:57.home and further afield. Close to home, quite apart from what to
:04:58. > :05:02.reason de Villiers had to say, we've got the GU P's position. The wooded

:05:25. > :05:28.their own domestic reasons for vetoing mats. Big barriers ahead.
:05:29. > :05:33.The one thing the Nationalist parties are hopeful for is that they
:05:34. > :05:37.got someone on the inside track, enter Kenny, he would be subject to
:05:38. > :05:41.the boycott of negotiations that EU senior officials have put in place
:05:42. > :05:47.in relation to the British Government. Instead, he, they hope,
:05:48. > :05:52.will put the case inside EU meetings for the unique circumstances of the
:05:53. > :05:53.island of Ireland. The argument about special status puts the
:05:54. > :06:02.remainders and believers against each other yet again. Today, a
:06:03. > :06:07.division within the leave camp over corporation tax. Earlier on in the
:06:08. > :06:11.week, when she was trying to sell the opportunities presented by
:06:12. > :06:16.Brexit, Arlene Foster said she wanted to exploit as a matter of
:06:17. > :06:19.urgency, the whole notion of whether corporation tax wouldn't be quite as
:06:20. > :06:24.expensive as we have been led to believe. That's because Stormont is
:06:25. > :06:31.due to have its grant cuts by several hundred million pounds in
:06:32. > :06:33.order to abide by an EU ruling. Certainly, Arlene Foster was
:06:34. > :06:38.wondering whether it may be part of that bill could they be waived but I
:06:39. > :06:42.put that to Theresa Villiers earlier on and she was adamant that the
:06:43. > :06:45.Treasury wouldn't cut the cost of devolving corporation tax, instead,
:06:46. > :06:50.it Stormont presses ahead with it, it'll be on the basis as previously
:06:51. > :06:55.agreed. The body that gives out EU money to voluntary groups
:06:56. > :07:00.cross-border projects was brief in the assembly today. What was said?
:07:01. > :07:05.That is known as the special EU programmes. It has peace funding.
:07:06. > :07:09.Gena McIntire speaking on behalf of the agency admitted she had been
:07:10. > :07:14.feeling a lot of cars from groups concerned that they might lose the
:07:15. > :07:19.funding they depend upon in order to continue their work. Her message was
:07:20. > :07:24.that for the images feature it is business as usual. She will continue
:07:25. > :07:28.to disperse a range of ?400 million in EU funding as part of the various
:07:29. > :07:34.programmes running up until 2020 but she did add that if the UK triggers
:07:35. > :07:38.Article 50 that of the article they have to trigger to see the leading
:07:39. > :07:39.the EU, she didn't then know quite what the situation would be. Thank
:07:40. > :07:40.you. The government says further
:07:41. > :07:42.terrorist attacks in Turkey are likely and Western
:07:43. > :07:45.tourists could be targeted. 41 people were killed
:07:46. > :07:47.in a gun and bomb attack People planning to visit the country
:07:48. > :07:54.are warned to be vigilant. The attack happened in Ataturk -
:07:55. > :08:02.Europe's third busiest airport. Travellers fled in fear
:08:03. > :08:04.as the shooting started The three gunmen then
:08:05. > :08:10.blew themselves up. Unrest in the region had
:08:11. > :08:12.already had an impact With the busiest period for summer
:08:13. > :08:17.holidays getting underway, travel agents are now trying
:08:18. > :08:29.to reassure tourists. You can never gave a cast iron
:08:30. > :08:32.guarantee to anyone. We can try and reassure them that things are normal
:08:33. > :08:37.in all the tourist resorts in Turkey at the moment and hopefully that's
:08:38. > :08:40.the way it will remain. All countries have tightened security
:08:41. > :08:41.and very much tightened security to try and prevent the sort of thing
:08:42. > :08:50.happening. It says the country is generally
:08:51. > :08:53.safe but you should be alert to your surroundings and remain
:08:54. > :08:55.vigilant in crowded places The Honorary Consul for Turkey
:08:56. > :09:10.here says the terrorists cannot It is an absolute outrage targeting
:09:11. > :09:15.the one of in the world. I would hope that it doesn't that our
:09:16. > :09:17.visitors from visiting Turkey. That is the objective of these terrorists
:09:18. > :09:17.so we must make sure that doesn't succeed.
:09:18. > :09:20.The attack has been condemned around the world, with Wednesday
:09:21. > :09:25.declared a national day of mourning in Turkey.
:09:26. > :09:27.A retired RUC detective has told the Historical Institiutional Abuse
:09:28. > :09:31.Inquiry that when he started looking into events at Kincora Boys Home,
:09:32. > :09:34.the Chief Constable Sir Jack Hermon told him to leave "no stone
:09:35. > :09:39.Even so, George Caskey says that one interview with a senior intelligence
:09:40. > :09:51.Will Leitch reports from the inquiry in Banbridge.
:09:52. > :09:57.George Caskey discussing live RUC investigations in the late 1980s. He
:09:58. > :10:02.was the man return to after a newspaper article in January 1980
:10:03. > :10:05.left the lead on Concorde. Today he came here to answer questions about
:10:06. > :10:12.that time at the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry. George
:10:13. > :10:16.Caskey retired from the RUC with 39 years service. A widely respected
:10:17. > :10:21.investigator, he was put under the Kincora enquiry in 1980. He says the
:10:22. > :10:32.Chief Constable Jack Hermon told him to leave no stone -- stone unturned.
:10:33. > :10:36.He told the enquiry before then... There have been claims the RUC could
:10:37. > :10:40.have investigated the abuse years earlier. Once he was in charge,
:10:41. > :10:44.George Caskey said he could interview he felt anyone he ought to
:10:45. > :10:52.interview. That included leading politicians...
:10:53. > :11:01.But one interviewer eluded him. George Caskey called it a loose end.
:11:02. > :11:06.His attempt to interview Ian Cameron, the assistant secretary
:11:07. > :11:10.political about reports on Kincora his army intelligence staff had
:11:11. > :11:14.provided for him. That request was discussed and debated by senior
:11:15. > :11:19.figures in the military intelligence and legal astonishment. Answers came
:11:20. > :11:23.inviting from someone else. In the end, George Caskey saw three men
:11:24. > :11:28.jailed for a Kincora but didn't find a vice ring for signs of prominent
:11:29. > :11:32.establishment figures come into the home to abuse boys. There have been
:11:33. > :11:36.many allegations of cover-ups and intelligence service collusion in
:11:37. > :11:40.the abuse at Kincora. George Caskey and his team investigated the mark
:11:41. > :11:44.and he said the find no evidence. He feels that view is borne out by the
:11:45. > :11:49.many victims with him his book. The enquiry continues.

:11:57. > :12:00.inspectors checking on the health of these important pollinators.
:12:01. > :12:03.The Education Minister Peter Weir has decided a controversial scheme
:12:04. > :12:05.to replace older teaching staff with newly qualified
:12:06. > :12:11.However, only teachers who have graduated since 2012 will be
:12:12. > :12:13.eligible to apply for jobs under the plans.
:12:14. > :12:16.Our education correspondent Robbie Meredith is with me.
:12:17. > :12:19.This scheme was first announced by John O'Dowd last year.
:12:20. > :12:32.This scheme it means that some teachers over 55 can retire early
:12:33. > :12:36.but not to get hit in their pension. That only happens at the school
:12:37. > :12:39.replace them with a newly qualified teacher. It was delayed because
:12:40. > :12:44.there was controversy just how newly qualified a teacher had to be to get
:12:45. > :12:47.a job under these plans and that had implications for the much money the
:12:48. > :12:51.schemas can deceive the public. As it has been given the go-ahead but
:12:52. > :13:04.only teachers who have graduated since 2012 are eligible. This is a
:13:05. > :13:07.win-win disappoint some people but it will help provide jobs for newly
:13:08. > :13:10.qualified teachers, it will allow some teachers at the opposite end to
:13:11. > :13:12.be able to retire with the package. It will mean for skills that be can
:13:13. > :13:18.reinvigorate their workforce and actually financially benefit schools
:13:19. > :13:22.what has been the reaction? They have welcomed it. A lot of young
:13:23. > :13:26.teachers here find it tough to get a full-time job. They can work for
:13:27. > :13:30.years on temporary or part-time contracts. Many of them will have
:13:31. > :13:35.qualified before 2012. They will be able to apply for these jobs and
:13:36. > :13:39.some are very disappointed. I graduated in 2011 and feel I've been
:13:40. > :13:44.left out because I am trying my best to try and obtain a permanent job
:13:45. > :13:47.and I find it's disappointing for the Northern Ireland Government to
:13:48. > :13:52.bring the scheme out. There is thousands of us working and slogging
:13:53. > :13:56.our hearts out trying to get ourselves a permanent job and this
:13:57. > :13:59.is just a smack in the face to a to 40 judges say, you're too extensive,
:14:00. > :14:04.you're too extensive, your tools. Go away, we'll give it to be cheaper
:14:05. > :14:11.ones. With regard to number of jobs, it will create fewer jobs. John
:14:12. > :14:15.O'Dowd wanted to spend ?33 million replacing 500 teachers. Peter Weir
:14:16. > :14:19.is going to spent ?8 million replacing 120 in the next school
:14:20. > :14:22.year but he does say that he hopes there will be more funding to free
:14:23. > :14:23.up more jobs in the year after that. Thank you.
:14:24. > :14:26.This Friday will be the Centenary of the Battle of the Somme,
:14:27. > :14:29.one of the bloodiest battles of the First World War.
:14:30. > :14:31.Among the many dead were 3,500 soldiers
:14:32. > :14:37.2,000 of them were in the 36th Ulster Division.
:14:38. > :14:40.Our reporter Mervyn Jess has been to those battlefields in France
:14:41. > :14:42.and met some County Down teenagers keen to learn
:14:43. > :14:53.what it was like for those in the trenches.
:14:54. > :15:02.Another day, another tour of the Ulster terror and trenches by its
:15:03. > :15:08.official Guardian. This area of the Somme is the epicentre of memorials
:15:09. > :15:12.to the 36th Ulster division. Anyway you see this going here, you're
:15:13. > :15:19.looking at the German front line. If you start here, take a sweep right
:15:20. > :15:23.round, that is the German front line. The centenary of the Somme is
:15:24. > :15:28.on Friday but the number of people visiting this area and the Ulster
:15:29. > :15:32.terror has increased markedly in the weeks leading up to it. Many of them
:15:33. > :15:38.are young people. School trips from Northern Ireland. All that was found
:15:39. > :15:46.here was dead and wounded Germans and Ulsterman. One of them visiting
:15:47. > :15:51.is from County Down. That is the thing when people forget they think
:15:52. > :15:54.of World War I, it was one huge battle and massive slaughter. They
:15:55. > :15:58.have been learning about the impact at what happened at the Somme,
:15:59. > :16:01.including the loss of the three Donaldson brothers who felt
:16:02. > :16:06.side-by-side on the first day of the battle. Are there any of you who
:16:07. > :16:14.have relatives or of relatives who died at the Battle of the Somme are
:16:15. > :16:22.other battles? Are you bringing a little cross anyway? What you have
:16:23. > :16:30.in mind? Put it on his grave. Seeing first-hand had a big impact on these
:16:31. > :16:33.people. It's brought it to life. You can get a real insight of what it is
:16:34. > :16:37.like and what it would have been like for the men fighting in the
:16:38. > :16:42.war. When you see those trenches, what do you think? And would like to
:16:43. > :16:45.be in them. I don't know how men stayed there for so long and
:16:46. > :16:55.especially with injured and dead bodies around them. It must have
:16:56. > :17:00.been full. -- offal. Seeing all the headstones, in newly bring security
:17:01. > :17:03.arrive. Looking at it now, it's so beautiful and many think about how
:17:04. > :17:09.much description was here, it's surreal. To come and see it is more
:17:10. > :17:18.emotional. It's mind blowing. This is reality. It's not on TV or films.
:17:19. > :17:24.It's what it is. Nothing prepares you for the experience. Moving from
:17:25. > :17:27.textbook to reality is transformative not just the year as
:17:28. > :17:32.a teacher in terms of what you gain from it are what the pupils gain
:17:33. > :17:36.from it but it's that silence that develops amongst everybody really
:17:37. > :17:40.get into a reflective space and overwhelmed really. This was a
:17:41. > :17:43.history lesson on the death and destruction is -- destruction
:17:44. > :17:44.brought to life for these young people on the killing fields of
:17:45. > :17:45.France. And we will have a special programme
:17:46. > :17:48.broadcasting live from Thiepval in France as a commemorative service
:17:49. > :17:50.at the Ulster Tower marks the 100th anniversary
:17:51. > :17:55.of the Battle of the Somme. That's at 1.15PM on Friday
:17:56. > :18:00.here on BBC One. And on Sunday, we'll have another
:18:01. > :18:03.special programme to mark William Crawley will be looking
:18:04. > :18:07.back on her many visits to Northern Ireland over
:18:08. > :18:09.the last six decades. That's at 5.15PM this

:20:10. > :20:14.can see the lively sitting in there with the head-up, it is nice and
:20:15. > :20:18.white and there is nothing wrong with that. These inspections are
:20:19. > :20:24.happening because these are a key pollinators. Without them, flowers

:21:35. > :21:35.Europe but I'd hear yet. That is why this kind of vigilance is crucially
:21:36. > :21:40.important. The Irish Football Association
:21:41. > :21:42.has a new president. Although some eyebrows have been
:21:43. > :21:46.raised about who it is. Mark Sidebottom has
:21:47. > :21:52.this evening's sport. It was more of a coronation
:21:53. > :21:54.than an election and David Martin's Just six years ago, he was forced
:21:55. > :22:00.to resign as IFA treasurer when the then Sports Minister Nelson

:22:03. > :22:07.Mr Martin attempted to return to the IFA but failed

:22:11. > :22:26.he declined BBC Newslines requests Our cameras weren't allowed to
:22:27. > :22:31.attend last night at IFA's council meeting. This is archive footage.
:22:32. > :22:35.Just how has this man who was forced to quit as the association Treasury
:22:36. > :22:41.note stepped into the President's shoes? It is a remarkable turn of
:22:42. > :22:47.events. In 2010, the Department for culture, deemed the IFA not fit for
:22:48. > :22:52.purpose and the then president reluctantly resigned. The Government
:22:53. > :22:57.then released ?26 million of public money for the redeveloped of Windsor

:23:06. > :23:13.office but on more than one occasion failed the test. In 2013 at an IFA
:23:14. > :23:18.general meeting, delegates voted to remove those Government competency
:23:19. > :23:24.tests. Three years on, David Martin, unopposed has been rubber-stamped as
:23:25. > :23:26.IFA president. We did contact the Government department responsible
:23:27. > :23:28.for sport this afternoon to ask for its response to Mr Martin's
:23:29. > :23:35.appointment. The I get to reply. The 2016 summer Olympic games
:23:36. > :23:38.are a little over a month away and a quarter of the GB hockey squad
:23:39. > :23:41.will be made up of Ulstermen. BBC Newsline's Nigel Ringland
:23:42. > :23:44.was with the quartet at yesterday's announcement and sends this report
:23:45. > :23:51.from Bisham Abbey in Berkshire. For years ago, he couldn't hide his
:23:52. > :23:56.disappointment in missing out as an Olympic medal at London. He believes
:23:57. > :24:00.the squad is capable of making the podium. You've got to have the
:24:01. > :24:04.Olympic experience because that's important for them and they're any
:24:05. > :24:07.good place psychologically. When the time comes, they know they're there
:24:08. > :24:11.for business as well which is the good thing about the squad. Everyone
:24:12. > :24:18.knows we're going there to turn up and to play and to come home with a.
:24:19. > :24:22.Hopefully, not just me but other guys in that situation, can pass on
:24:23. > :24:27.some knowledge and experience that could help nudge us in the right
:24:28. > :24:34.direction. Years joined by the youngest member of the squad, a 22
:24:35. > :24:38.old. It is something I've always wanted to do, a dream come true. It
:24:39. > :24:43.has been a difficult journey along the way but it's all come good in
:24:44. > :24:47.the end. I'm really excited. It says a lot about hockey in Northern
:24:48. > :24:51.Ireland. Sports Northern Ireland has been fantastically whole way
:24:52. > :24:55.through. Personally, it's a really proud moment for me to play
:24:56. > :24:59.alongside three other guys from Northern Ireland. Great Britain are
:25:00. > :25:03.fourth in the world so a medal is realistic. Their opening game in the
:25:04. > :25:08.pool stages is against Belgium in the opening day of the Olympics.
:25:09. > :25:11.Ulster have been drawn against two French clubs in the European
:25:12. > :25:13.champions cup in addition to Clermont and Bordeaux.
:25:14. > :25:17.Les Kiss's men also have Exeter in Pool 5.
:25:18. > :25:28.The weather forecast is next with Geoff Maskell.
:25:29. > :25:36.Tell us what's in store. Today is definitely one of those days that
:25:37. > :25:42.finishes on a better note and it started. It was a miserable morning,
:25:43. > :25:46.plenty of rain. This is the radar picture from this morning. That rain
:25:47. > :25:52.sitting over us all the way through the drive to work. It was very
:25:53. > :25:57.miserable indeed. I contrast to that, it is a much better evening,
:25:58. > :26:03.drier and brighter. Still the odd shower here and there but few and
:26:04. > :26:07.far between. The cloud cover that is around as those sherries continued
:26:08. > :26:11.overnight, temperatures will stay around double figures. It could be
:26:12. > :26:16.cooler weather breaks in the cloud. Tomorrow is a decent start but make
:26:17. > :26:20.the most of it because it would take very long for these guys that were
:26:21. > :26:24.bright in the morning to start colliding over and that rain to move
:26:25. > :26:26.on from the Atlantic later on. Nothing like that spread of rain
:26:27. > :26:31.this morning but those sherries could pop up anywhere and the cloud
:26:32. > :26:41.covered that goes with it will hold back the temperatures. It is really
:26:42. > :26:43.a very similar story as we go through Thursday evening. Those
:26:44. > :26:48.sherries continue and will fizzle out as we go into the overnight
:26:49. > :26:53.period and we will have the fume breaks around. It will keep those
:26:54. > :26:58.temperatures reasonably respectable. Either time we get into Friday,
:26:59. > :27:02.things are and settled. It is due to this area of low pressure in the
:27:03. > :27:07.north of Scotland. These fronts coming through. You can see these
:27:08. > :27:12.tightly packed isobars, a sign of a strengthening westerly breeze. That
:27:13. > :27:15.is a feature come Friday. We have showers coming through, forming into
:27:16. > :27:19.bands so when they arrive they could be heavy. There will be breaks in
:27:20. > :27:26.between but all the while it is driven in on that strengthening
:27:27. > :27:29.westerly breeze. Things improved a bit towards the weekend with the
:27:30. > :27:31.hope of something better for the start of next week.
