It has been a lovely day for some, sunshine and showers to come this

weekend. Hello and welcome to the programme.

A teenage girl has told a court how she's been left feeling scared

and anxious after an MLA allegedly mentioned her name on social media

in connection to anti-social behaviour in the North Antrim area.

The girl, who we can't name because of her age,

The 15-year-old girl is seeking ?5,000 in damages from Paul Frew for

an alleged breach of her privacy and harassment. It was her that he had

mentioned on Facebook in February, following a rise in anti-social

behaviour. In court, the teenager admitted she had been present while

anti-social behaviour was carried out but denied ever being involved

herself and said subsequent comments on social media had left her

anxious. As to how she felt seeing her name posted on social media, the

girl said, it upset and annoyed me, I was scared, I was being branded as

someone I am not. She said, as recently as this week people through

her dirty looks and made comments. The anti-social behaviour included

ball bearings being thrown at people and property. Paul Frew told the

court it had caused fear in the community and had been working hard

to stop it. The MLA mentioned he had set her name but never meant to

apply that she herself had taken part. He said, I was performing a

duty, doing my job to the best of my ability. Judgment in the case will

be given at a later date. Northern Ireland international

Kyle Lafferty has been charged by the FA with misconduct

in relation to betting. The 28-year-old is accused

of breaking the rules Lisa McAlister joins me -

what's the background This news emerged on the FA's

official website this afternoon. In a statement, the governing body said

Kyle Lafferty have been charged with misconduct in relation to betting.

He had spent last season on loan to Birmingham city, placed a bet on the

result, progress, com. Or any other aspect or occurrence in any football

match in breach of an FA rule, which is essentially a blanket ban on

anyone who once they reach a certain level in football placing any bets

on any competition around the world, whether it is football in Asia or

America. The BBC understands Kyle Lafferty is not accused of betting

on anything he himself or his team was involved in, but the FA has

strict rules surrounding the betting, which it says protect the

integrity and future of the game. He has until August the 5th to respond

to the charge. Many thanks, we it there.

Two former executives at the notorious Anglo Irish Bank

have been jailed for their part in a seven billion euro fraud.

John Bowe and Willie McAteer misled investors by making the bank's

corporate deposits look larger than they were.

Another banker, Denis Casey, was also given a prison

Here's our economics and business editor John Campbell.

Anglo was the fast growing bank which summed up the excess of the

Republic's property boom, but by 2008 boom had turned to bust. The

bank was in trouble and depositors were withdrawing money. Willie

McAteer was the finance director. John Bowe was also a senior member

of staff, they came up with a scheme to disguise the financial health of

the bank. This is how it worked. Anglo loaned more than 7 billion

euros, then placed the same sum back with Anglo. Crucially this was

accounted for at Anglo's end of balance sheet as a customer deposit,

not on interbank loan. Deposits are key factor in determining the health

of the bank, therefore the judge said it was deceitful, underhand and

corrupt. Denis Casey was chief executive of Irish life and

permanent and authorised the involvement of the bank in the

corrupt scheme. John Bowe got two years, Willie McAteer got three and

a half years, Denis Casey got two years and ten months. This is

unlikely to be the last case. A 74-year-old man charged

in connection with the murder of former Sinn Fein official

and British agent Denis Donaldson Patrick Gillespie, with an address

in Glasgow, was ordered to hand over his passport and to live

at an address in Donegal. Denis Donaldson was shot dead at

a cottage in Glenties in April 2006. The Real IRA later said

they'd killed him. Still to come on BBC Newsline: We'll

be meeting the local guitar makers who're making a name for themselves

on a world stage. The Brexit vote has led to a sudden

rise in cross-border shopping, with Newry reporting an increase

of around 10%. But there's also evidence

of the vote having a negative effect on some businesses which

trade within the EU. Nobody said Brexit would be a gold

mine, but at this family run business in Newry there has been a

Brexit rounds. Definitely, there's a lot more southern cars about, and I

can hear southern voices. From Dublin and the south of Dublin. The

pound has gone down, the euro has gone up and some shops are reporting

a rise of around 10% in cross-border shoppers. I wouldn't say it is a

surge, it is a nice, gentle upward slope. But the retailers we spoke to

also expressed worry about what happens if Brexit changes the

border. It is a concern shared by this building supplies firm, which

trades from Newbury across the EU. The Dutch man who runs the company

is anxious about the future. For us as a wholesale business we have to

deal with huge levels of uncertainty and it is very difficult. Could you

see a situation where you decide to base yourself in the Republic of

Ireland? I would definitely consider setting myself up there, which would

be a huge shame because we are very comfortable here. We are

well-positioned and it is critical to us that we have open borders.

Whatever happens when the UK officially leaves the EU, it is

clear talking to people in Newry the consequences are already being felt.

Some positive, some negative, but what most people do already agree on

is that the whole uncertainty about what will happen at the border is

not helpful and needs to end as soon as possible.

There are thousands of children with autism in Northern Ireland

and their experiences are now being portrayed in

Pablo is the first major children's series in the UK with

And it's being made locally, as our arts correspondent Robbie

I am Pablo and this is the art world. Meet Pablo, a colourful

cartoon boy. His special not just because he is the star of his own TV

series but because he is on the autistic spectrum. People on the

autism spectrum have challenges. But we can do anything when we do our

best. This is the local ten-year-old who plays him. In the art world, he

can express all of his feelings with his friends, the animals. And the

friends Pablo creates are also played by young people with autism.

It is beautiful! I saw of myself in him but he also lacks certain social

skills. It doesn't mean he is stupid in any way but just doesn't know how

to respond to people. That is pretty much me in my childhood! Everybody's

scared of parties! Mouse likes to get advanced warnings

of things, she doesn't like things going randomly, and she likes to

collect things, she's quite grown-up. An honest person, very

friendly and very cute. But the right kind of cute. I love how shiny

it is. Rachel and Tony have written some of the scripts. The company

making the programme says their input is vital. Pablo puts the

traits of autism on the screen so the hope is exposure to those

traits, through that we gain understanding of what it might feel

like to be on the autism spectrum and therefore gain empathy and

optimism. Over 50 episodes will be broadcast on the BBC CBeebies

channel beginning late next year. Coming up in a moment -

we go Stateside for the big fight: As Carl Frampton and Leo Santa Cruz

Square up at the weigh-in, I will have the latest from New York City.

Northern Ireland can punch above its weight in sport

and entertainment but did you know it's also known on the world stage

Francis Gorman has been along to three local companies

with well established international reputations.

Guitars made in Antrim. This one made in Don Patrick. And this one in

Newton adds. This is the man who led the way. Starting out in 1974,

George put local guitars on the global map and now employs 20 people

making high-end instruments that sell for thousands of pounds. He

would like the Government to do more to help with apprenticeships. I --

if I was building something else other than guitars, maybe I would be

able to find young people to bring in to apprentice who would already

have had some basic training, but as it is, it is very hard to do that

because the woodworking industry and cabinet making industry in Northern

Ireland has virtually died out. Moving north, Avalon guitars is

another name on the global market, which takes pride in making

handcrafted product. The Irish guitar makers are sticking true to

the principles of handcrafted making because the guitar maker has a

brain, eyes and ears, he can see what he's doing to the wood, so you

are getting a much better quality instrument through handcrafted

techniques rather than machine-made stuff which most guitars are

produced by. Upstairs you can learn to make guitars at this school. One

of the students is Michael from San Diego. He gave up the day job as a

Navy inspector to follow his dream and that brought him here. I found

this school, this was one of the top ten schools that came up when I

searched. In Antrim, Dermot has been making

his own guitars for around 16 years. He used to be a carpenter but he got

fed up being paid off every winter, now he's busy all year round. In

January I will make a few calls to the shops around the world, what do

you want for the next year or two? And they would give me orders right

through for the next several years and then that our books closed for

the next several years and we are in employment for the next two years.

These locally made instruments can cost thousands of pounds, but the

high price is a reflection of a high quality and reputation in the world

of guitars. These images have been grabbing

people's attention after appearing on silage bales in fields around

Fivemiletown. They're the work of a Belfast

graffiti artist, who has been invited to bring a mostly urban art

form into a rural environment. Here's our south west

reporter Julian Fowler. A typical summer scene in the

countryside, but something out of the ordinary has been going on.

These silage bales beside the A4 have had a radical makeover. Ever

since this artwork appeared several weeks ago, they have been turning

heads of people passing through. The cartoon figures are the work of this

man, who is more used to painting murals on city walls. I was hoping

to come down to a chilled field and sit in the sunshine and paint away

but it wasn't like that, lots of people coming up and talking so half

the time I was talking and the other half I managed to get some painting

in. His works certainly stands out and it came as a surprise to one of

the farmers. They didn't actually know it was happening. A coordinator

for the organisation asked my mum when my dad was in England, so they

had a shock when they came home. But it looks well. They are part of a

rural community arts programme that has seen Gates transformed by woven

fabric and the side of Barnes power host to create murals in the dirt. I

think people really enjoy it and we try to bring it in their everyday

lives so they don't have to sit in a workshop, they can interact with it

locally on a local level. We do have a positive response, some people

think it might be a little bonkers when you approach them, but in

general that has been very positive. What has it been like for you as an

artist working in a field surrounded by cattle? It is quite peaceful

actually. People have really loved it. A lot of people have stopped and

started chatting away, young kids checking it out and asking

questions. People seem to really appreciate it. But you don't have

long to see them before these bales are fed to the cattle.

Catch them while you can! The finals of one of football's

elite youth tournaments are taking Stephen Watson is there for BBC

Newsline with this evening's sport. The super cup NI has been running

for over 30 years and footballers from all around the world have been

playing matches at different venues across the province, and in the

moment we will be finding out what is happening here tonight at the

Ballymena Showground, but first night it is boxing and Belfast's

Carl Frampton will try to create history this weekend by becoming the

first ever two wait world champion from Northern Ireland. His weigh-in

with Leo Santa Cruz happened a short time ago. We are inside the Berkeley

Centre with hundreds of supporters making the trip to New York, both

Leo Santa Cruz and Carl Frampton comfortably made the weight. He is

the one the media have as favourite, I'm not going to upset them at all,

I'm just feeling since -- super-confident. I am full of energy

and you will see the best performance you have from me yet.

How are you feeling physically? The best in my life. I didn't have to do

much physically to make the weight. What will happen over the next 24

hours? I will eat some food, rest up, see my family and kids. Spend a

bit of time with them and chill out. What do you make of the reaction and

the fans who have made the trip? Unbelievable, and there is still

more on the way. I'm looking forward to it. How could this fight change

your life? It could make me a superstar. I want to be known, I

want to be remembered for a long time, and beating people like Leo

Santa Cruz, that's what I'm going to do. Stop quake from Manchester is

Carl Frampton's last opponent. -- Scott Quigg. I think it is a real

50/50 fight, whoever turns up on the night but I have a feeling he will

pull it off. How do you think Carl Frampton will benefit from the extra

four pounds? That will be the difference, if he does benefit he

has got more in the tank, he has more power again, then I give him a

good chance in the fight. If the extra four pounds has been him the

advantage, he has a real good chance of winning. Carl Frampton will enter

the ring just after four o'clock on Saturday night home time, you can

listen to Leo Santa Cruz against Carl Frampton live on radio Ulster

and radio five live with coverage starting at around 3:30pm.

A big weekend for Carl Frampton, and a big night here with the finals of

the super cup NI. Give us a flavour of the international aspect of this

tournament. We have five continents here this week, teams from Brazil,

Africa, Europe, North America, every part of the world. And a team from

Ghana has just taken the lead against a team from County

Londonderry, it doesn't get better than that. We held out in the first

half but the gun a and team is undefeated in Europe this year so

far. Only winning 1-0 so hopefully we will get some come back shortly.

Overall, how has the week gone for the tournament organisers? It has

been marvellous. We have professionals working with the teams

who tell me it has been fantastic, the organisation has been top-class.

I cannot praise people enough. These are professional big clubs from all

parts of the world, and to get praise from them, it is a pat on the

back for the organisation. Lots of great young talent on show. What

about the future of the tournament? It is going from strength to

strength, this year we started the under 21s, and we are looking at

another format of the under 17s. And obviously you will continue to try

to attract as many of the big teams as you can? Yes, the teams have been

top-class, top drawer, and a lot of the boys learn a lot from playing

against this sort of opposition. It is a great experience for the boys,

isn't it? It is great experience, and I hope these boys now have a

dream themselves to get on and join good-quality clubs and get on

themselves and play for an international team in the future.

Thank you, and at least the sun is shining on finals night.

Ulster rugby threw open its gates this afternoon as fans got to mix

with the players at a family fun day, just a few weeks

from the opening game of the season Ulster's director of rugby Les Kiss

Brilliant, as you can hear behind. Since I have been here, I know how

important these people are to the players. You went to the dressing

room here, they always talk about the support they have so it is great

to get out and mix with them and give them a bit of joy. A lot of the

people want to see George, what will he bring? When you see him in

training, it is scary, and when you put him alongside the team you

certainly get excited, but probably the truth about Charles this is a

good man, he has a lot of respect for what Ulster offers and has

bonded well with his team-mates. He certainly a very skilful player and

it is a great opportunity for everyone to meet up with him today.

Finally this evening, Rory McIlroy is just about to tee

off in his second round at the USPGA in new jersey and the world number

four has a lot to do following yesterday's four-over-par

Graeme McDowell looks like he will miss the cut.

You can see highlights of these two finals on the BBC iPlayer, now back

to the studio. Thank you, lots to look forward to. Now the weekend

weather forecast, and after a beautiful day today, is it good news

for the weekend? Wasn't it lovely to open the door and feel warm for

once? We have had a great sunset last night, absolutely fantastic. If

a red sky at night is a shepherd's delight, we got to see a decent

day-to-day. Overnight tonight we have still got some clear skies

which will help temperatures drop away into single figures in some

rural spots overnight. As we head into the weekend, we are into a

regime of sunshine and showers. Tomorrow morning those showers most

prevalent along the north coast for a time, but as we go through the day

they could pop up anywhere. The weather tomorrow coming out of the

north-west, which has got a cool direction so we will expect to see

temperatures a little bit down on the day's values. Between the

showers there will be some brighter spells, and as we go through into

the late afternoon and early evening, the showers. To disallow

nicely, which is good news if you are one of the organisers of the red

sails Festival. The good news is it should be staying dry tomorrow

night. This is the picture as we go into the night-time hours, the

showers have cleared away. Just the odd chance of a shower here and

there but fingers crossed we will escape from the worst. Over the next

few days, a reasonably benign spell of weather. At the moment it looks

like the rain will be tracking to the south which means we get away

with it just about. Into a pattern of sunshine and showers over the

next few days, the cool north-westerly breeze means things

will feel colder than we would expect at this time of year. On

Monday it is more of the same, the temperatures in the mid-teens. Cloud

and the odd shower popping up. It is not the best forecast I can offer

you but as we go through the weekend there should always be a chance of

seeing just a little bit of brightness.

I will take that, thank you. Our late summary

is at half past ten.
