The Secretary of State Theresa Villiers says Northern Ireland | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
cannot maintain any kind of special status within the European Union | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
The idea was floated again today by the Deputy First | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
For the first time since the exit result, executive ministers met | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
at Stormont to discuss the implications. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Here's our political correspondent Gareth Gordon. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Opposite sides of the argument but having | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
to plot a joint path, the | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
Deputy First Ministers visited a children's animation company whose | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
owner did not get the referendum result he wanted. | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
We trade with Europe to sell our shares. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
We have to presell a lot to European countries. | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
It's important those trades are protected. | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
This is one of his big success stories. | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
That is make-believe but could be perfect | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
for a post-Brexit world and some claim political | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
direction is lacking. But not the First Minister. | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
There is a lot of fear because it's been | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
What we need to do is stand back and say that what we are | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
doing is representing all of the people of | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
Northern Ireland in the negotiations that are to come. | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
Her executive partner hasn't given up on | :01:23. | :01:23. | |
The number one priority, given the nature of the | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
decision that was taken last week, is to ensure we maintain our | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
relationship with Europe and that Europe sees and that we see our | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
not possible. of state, says that's | :01:38. | :01:53. | |
The EU rules are clear, membership of the EU | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
It's not possible within the EU rules to have part of the country | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
This decision has been made, the people of | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
the UK voted to leave the European Union. | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
That decision is going to be respected and that is | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
what the Government will take forward. | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
Around the executive table for the first time since the | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
referendum, ministers met for 45 minutes to consider its implications | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
before attending a meeting with the Secretary of State and the Irish | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
It's important that we agree and that we can assist | :02:18. | :02:26. | |
to ensure that ultimately nothing happens in the context of these | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
negotiations that will adversely impact on the economies, north and | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
south, or of society, north and south. | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
It's going to test the negotiation skills of the best | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
brains here in London, Dublin and Brussels but all the signs | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
are that it could be some time yet before | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
anything even resembling a plan emerges. | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
A man's been shot in both legs in what police have described | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
a paramilitary style shooting in Carrickfergus. | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
The man is in a stable condition in hospital following the attack | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
in Dunluskin Gardens at tea time this evening. | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
A retired RUC detective has said when he started looking at abuse | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
claims at Kincora Boys Home, the then Chief Constable Sir Jack | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
Hermon told him to leave "no stone unturned." | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
However, George Caskey says that one interview with a senior intelligence | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
Will Leitch reports from the Historical | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
George Caskey discussing RUC investigations in the late 1980s. | :03:26. | :03:36. | |
He was the man who lead the investigation after a newspaper | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
article in January 1980 gave the lead on Kincora. | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
Today, he came here to answer questions about | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
that time at the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry. | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
George Caskey retired from the RUC with 39 years service. | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
A widely respected investigator, he was put on the | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
He says the Chief Constable Jack Hermon told him | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
There have been claims the RUC could have investigated the abuse years | :04:00. | :04:14. | |
Once he was in charge, George Caskey said he could | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
interview he felt anyone he ought to interview. | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
His attempt to interview Ian Cameron, the Assistant Secretary | :04:24. | :04:47. | |
Political about reports on Kincora his army intelligence staff had | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
That request was discussed and debated by senior | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
figures in the military intelligence and legal astonishment. | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
figures in the military intelligence and legal establishment. | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
In the end, George Caskey saw three men jailed | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
for Kincora but didn't find a vice ring for signs of prominent | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
establishment figures in the home to abuse boys. | :05:13. | :05:13. | |
There have been many allegations of cover-ups and | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
intelligence service collusion in the abuse at Kincora. | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
George Caskey and his team investigated | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
He feels that view is borne out by the | :05:20. | :05:32. | |
The government says further terrorist attacks in Turkey | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
are likely and western tourists could be targeted. | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
41 people were killed in a gun and bomb attack | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
People planning to visit the country are warned to be vigilant. | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
The attack happened in Ataturk - Europe's third busiest airport. | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
Travellers fled in fear as the shooting started | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
The three gunmen then blew themselves up. | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
Unrest in the region had already had an impact | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
With the busiest period for summer holidays getting underway, | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
travel agents are now trying to reassure tourists. | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
You can never gave a cast iron guarantee to anyone. | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
We can try and reassure them that things are normal | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
in all the tourist resorts in Turkey at the moment and hopefully that's | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
All countries have tightened security | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
and very much tightened security to try and prevent this sort of thing | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office says travellers are advised | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
to follow the advice of the local authorities and the Foreign | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
It says the country is generally safe but you should be alert | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
to your surroundings and remain vigilant in crowded places | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
The Honorary Consul for Turkey here says the terrorists cannot | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
It is an absolute outrage targeting one of the busiest | :06:49. | :07:01. | |
I would hope that it doesn't deter our | :07:02. | :07:09. | |
That is the objective of these terrorists | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
so we must make sure that doesn't succeed. | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
The attack has been condemned around the world, with Wednesday | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
declared a national day of mourning in Turkey. | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
The Education Minister has decided a controversial scheme to replace | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
older teaching staff with newly qualified teachers can begin. | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
Only teachers who have graduated since 2012 will be | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
This is a win-win situation but disappoint for some people. | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
It will help provide jobs for newly qualified teachers, it will allow | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
some teachers at the opposite end to be able to retire with the package. | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
It will mean schools that can reinvigorate the workforce and | :07:38. | :07:46. | |
actually financially benefit schools. | :07:47. | :07:47. | |
I graduated in 2011 and feel I've been | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
left out because I am trying my best to try and obtain a permanent job | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
and I find it's disappointing for the Northern Ireland Government to | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
This Friday will be the Centenary of the Battle of the Somme, | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
one of the bloodiest battles of the First World War. | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
Among the many dead were 3,500 soldiers from across Ireland. | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
2,000 of them were in the 36th Ulster Division. | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
Our reporter Mervyn Jess has been to those battlefields in France | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
and met some County Down teenagers keen to learn | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
what it was like for those in the trenches. | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
Another day, another tour of the Ulster Tower and trenches | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
This area of the Somme is the epicentre of memorials | :08:27. | :08:35. | |
You see this skyline here, you're looking at the German front line. | :08:36. | :08:48. | |
If you start here, take a sweep right | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
round, right round, right roung, that is the German front line. | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
The centenary of the Somme is on Friday but the number of people | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
visiting this area and the Ulster Tower has increased markedly | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
in the weeks leading up to it. Many of them are young people. | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
All that was found here was dead and wounded Germans | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
One of them visiting is from County Down. | :09:11. | :09:21. | |
That is the thing people forget they think | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
of World War I, it was one huge battle and massive slaughter. | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
They have been learning about the impact | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
at what happened at the Somme, including the loss of the three | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
Donaldson brothers from Cumber who fell | :09:34. | :09:34. | |
side-by-side on the first day of the | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
Are there any of you who have relatives or friends of relatives | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
who died at the Battle of | :09:41. | :09:41. | |
Are you bringing a little cross? What you have in mind? | :09:42. | :09:50. | |
Seeing first-hand had a big impact on these pupils. | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
You can get a real insight of what it is | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
like and what it would have been like for the men fighting in | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
When you see those trenches, what do you think? | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
I don't know how men stayed there for so long and | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
especially with injured and dead bodies around them. | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
Looking at it now, it's so beautiful and you think about how | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
much destruction was here, it's surreal. | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
To come and see it is more emotional. | :10:26. | :10:38. | |
This is reality. It's not on TV or films. | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
Nothing prepares you for the experience. | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
Moving from textbook to reality is | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
transformative not just as a teacher in terms | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
of what you gain from it but what the pupils gain | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
But it's that silence that develops amongst everybody that really | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
get you into a reflective space and overwhelmed, really. | :11:02. | :11:03. | |
This was a history lesson on death and | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
destruction, brought to life for these young | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
people on the killing fields of France. | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
And we will have a special programme live from Thiepval in France | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
at a commemorative service at the Ulster Tower marking | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
the 100th anniversary of the start of the Battle of the Somme . | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
That's at 1.15pm on Friday here on BBC One. | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
And on Sunday we'll have another special programme to mark | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
William Crawley will be looking back on her many visits to | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
Northern Ireland over the last six decades. | :11:33. | :11:33. | |
That's at 5.15pm this Sunday on BBC One. | :11:34. | :11:41. | |
Now finally onto the weather forecast with Geoff Maskell. | :11:42. | :11:57. | |
There was always the chance of a shower popping up and overnight | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
tonight they will continue. Temperatures hovering around double | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
figures. As we get into the start of Thursday, not a bad morning. Quite | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
dry to begin with but it isn't going to last. We start of bright, it | :12:13. | :12:22. | |
doesn't take long for these guys to cloud over in the west and then the | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
rain begins to move on. It is generally a much drier day tomorrow | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
than has been today but you start to see these showers feeding in the | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
first across the west coast of Scotland and then across Ireland as | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
well and as we get into the afternoon, those showers will become | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
heavier and much more persistent. That will hold to be temperatures | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
back a little bit. The south-westerly, westerly breeze is | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
starting to pick up. It is an unsettled few days of weatherhead. | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
This area of low pressure in the north of Scotland and these are | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
friends driving in and the tightly packed isobars are a sign of the | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
breeze picking up. That will be the case on Friday where we've got the | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
showers coming in from the Atlantic forming into bands and becoming | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
heavy at times. Being driven in by that westerly breeze. A lot cooler | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
than what we expect that this time of year. It is improving just a | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
little bit by the time we get to the weekend with the hope for something | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
a bit brighter for the start of next week. | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
Our next BBC Newsline is at 6.25 in the morning during Breakfast | :13:24. | :13:28. |
