into the last month of summer but is the weather set

to match the season? The parents of a teenager

who took his own life are calling for a secure mental health facility

for under-18s who are Aaron Fox died at the age of 16

earlier this year after becoming In a secure unit, young people

would be referred for specialist treatment and would not be not

free to come and go. Such a facility for over-18s

is provided in Knockbracken Kelly Bonner has been

speaking to the Fox family. Aaron Fox was just 15

when his battle with drugs began. It progressed to legal highs,

and it just got a hold From that point, it

was a constant battle. The battle ended in Aaron

taking his own life It was horrendous, just horrendous

to watch your child self-destruct in such a way. There was nothing we

could do. Every parent's main goal in life is to protect their

children, to make sure they are safe. I just wish we could go back

to that day and I would never let out of my sight.

As it stands there are no secure treatment units for under

18-year-old people with severe mental health issues.

Something this MLA says needs to be addressed.

There is not enough early intervention, health and support,

and when they are engaged in very harmful behaviour,

self harming and trying to take their own lives,

we struggle to find where we can get them help.

Because here in Northern Ireland there is no secure

But the Department of Health say the current demand for a secure

They say the priority for any additional investment would go

towards strengthening existing provisions rather than on a

specialised unit, something the Fox family say is not good enough.

The way the system is working, kids need to be on their knees.

Literally on their knees before anybody will pay attention.

There are serious failings around a lack of resources. There needs to be

that early intervention. There needs to be what we were calling a secure

unit, but more a safe place to get those kids away from the addiction,

to educate them and to give them the assistance they need. The Fox family

say until that happens they fear more lives will be lost.

And since posting that story on social media this afternoon,

If you'd like to share your thoughts, join

Carl Frampton - could he become the greatest Irish

Well, that's what his mentor Barry McGuigan thinks

after the Belfast man's victory at the weekend.

Unprecedented, Donna, and could not have happened to a more grounded or

unassuming individual. Carl Frampton, the boy

from Tigers Bay, has taken Northern Ireland's first

two-weight world champion says he wants his next fight to be

in Belfast after winning the WBA world featherweight

title in Brooklyn. He defeated previously unbeaten

three-weight champion Leo Santa Cruz It has been an incredible few months

for Carl Frampton. In February he unified the superbantamweight

division but Saturday's win in New York has propelled him to another

level, not just in his own sport but also in the eyes of the American

public. His fight has been heralded as the fight of the year after an

unforgettable night in Brooklyn. And the new WBA featherweight champion

of the world... This was Carl Frampton's sweetest moment in the

ring, the winner of a fight that will be remembered for years to

come. He rose to the occasion on the big stage as the two undefeated

stars went toe to toe. But it was Frampton who seemed in control, as

Leo Santa Cruz felt the full force of the Belfast man's power. It went

the distance and while one judge scored it a draw, Frampton was

declared the winner by the other two officials. I thought that I won the

fight by a couple of rounds but being away from home, who knows what

will happen, but the judging was fair. I think it was close but I

deserved to win. That puts me among the top fighters in the world, I

have unified the superbantamweight division in February, I beat a three

weight world champion so I think that puts me up with the top

fighters in the world and maybe touching the top ten. To night Carl

Frampton has put himself in the Hall of Fame. He will be a Hall of Fame

fighter with that performance and there one a new title, first

Northern Ireland man to do it, he's in the fight of the year and I

guarantee he will be voted into the Hall of Fame six years after he

retires because of that performance tonight. What with the motions like?

I've never been as nervous before at a sporting event, whether it be

Ryder Cup for watching Northern Ireland, when you are there, I don't

think there's any better show in sport than boxing, especially when

two great fighters are going to to toe, so nervousness, anxiety, but

I'm just glad he got the win. What next? I don't know, potentially a

rematch with Santa Cruz, a fight with Selby has been talked about,

Gary Russell, but I want to fight in Belfast. I don't want people to have

to pay top money to support me in the States. I would like to fight in

Belfast at least once a year. I'm in the driving seat now and I want to

bring them to Belfast. Frampton will spend a few days relaxing and

sightseeing here but he will return home one of the hot properties in

the sport. After his stateside works, New York has fallen in love

with Carl Frampton but to 29-year-old is determined to add to

his own legacy in his home city. "I'm just a working class fella

from Belfast who can fight a wee bit" Frampton told the media

in Brooklyn after landing the title. He then booked out a Manhattan bar

and threw open the doors to his travelling fans and,

what's more, picked up the bill. The boys from Belfast, we all

believe in him. We knew when we came out here he was going to spark Santa

Cruz and he did, he sparked him in the second row. They knew world

champion! How much have the fans enjoyed meeting him, shaking his

hand, getting a photo or a chat with the world champion? It's nice to be

able to do that because he's such a down-to-earth guy and most of the

guys here. I believe if he had lost last night he would have done the

same thing, it shows he appreciates everyone who travelled over and it's

great to be here. I was at the Euros, now I'm here, the bank

manager is crying but back to work tomorrow. Just how good was Carl

last night? He was amazing, fighting their best guy in his division, a

former three weight world champion, and defeated, he was up against it.

He really had to rise to the occasion and he did that. He was

going toe to toe with a great Mexican guy who can throw good

books. Each did in range and he came out on top.

# Frampton's on fire, Santa Cruz is terrified!

We still await confirmation of the plans around the homecoming -

The fight might have taken place on the other side of the pond

but the ripples have been felt all the way back here

So what will Carl Frampton's historic win do for the sport

of boxing here where amateur clubs are so often community hubs?

The fans probably haven't come down to earth yet,

but for some who'd made the trip of a lifetime to the fight in

The excitement of being at the win will stay with them.

We were sort of half expecting he would win but even hopeful he would

win, but to win in such a style he did win, unanimous points decision,

it was unheard of. As they landed at Belfast

International, thoughts were already They hope Windsor Park for some of a

similar nature and it would be fabulous if we could have him defend

his new world title in Belfast. There's a lot of things that have to

come together for something like this to happen in Belfast and we

hope for the best that it will. Northern Ireland is said to punch

above its weight in boxing and a former champion

predicts this win will draw You just have to look around, people

are excited and happy, you go into any boxing club now, Tigers Bay for

the Falls Road, kids all want to be Carl Frampton. He will be on the

world stage and they all want part of that.

This coach was presented with an award by Carl Frampton

He's hoping that the latest success will bring a boost to the coffers

of amateur clubs as funders realise how popular the sport is.

Hopefully the funders will look at that and think, can we help? Can we

be part of the next superstar coming through? You wouldn't say no. When

Carl Frampton defends his title, could it be there at the Titanic

Slipway, where he drew such huge loyal home crowds in 2014? The venue

could be Windsor Park when it is ready for a big crowd but perhaps

the TV rights and lure of big money will mean the next big fight will

happen to be in the US, so, Frampton fans, time to start saving.

Carl Frampton's purse was said to he half a million dollars -

there are a few more big paydays to come.

Donna, I'll be back a little later in the programme

Traders in Lisburn have condemned those responsible for closing down

Market Place had to be evacuated after a viable bomb

The police say one line of inquiry is that it fell off a vehicle.

It was business as usual in Lisburn today.

But this busy shopping area came to a standstill

And this was the reason - a viable bomb.

Its discovery prompted road closures and the evacuation of businesses.

Some are blaming dissident republicans.

The line of inquiry is developing that this device came off a vehicle.

History has shown that prison officers and security pass never

have been targeted, most recently a prison officer was murdered with an

undercard device and it suggests this is a pattern and so we need to

be vigilant. A controlled explosion was carried

out to make the device safe. And in a follow-up operation

by police, a car was seized While there is relief that no one

was injured by the bomb found here on Saturday, there is anger in the

business community about the impact it had on trade. When I saw it, it

was time to lock the shop up and move on quickly. It is just lucky no

one was injured and killed, so it was panic and moving as fast as

possible. A massive impact, last day of the month for me and sales day,

payday weekend, so a massive impact. The bomb was found just feet

from where a booby trap device killed six off-duty

soldiers in 1988. Locals are thankful there was no

further bloodshed three decades on. Almost ?1 million is to be

spent upgrading the CCTV As our North-West reporter,

Keiron Tourish explains, the cameras are being used to protect the public

and catch criminals. A group of young people letting off

fireworks in Foyle Street. They were caught on CCTV and within

minutes police were alerted. Since the 1st of June last year,

the CCTV monitoring station has Many of the thefts, assaults,

fires or road traffic There's a live link-up so police can

see a developing incident Other emergency agencies or homeless

charities can be alerted too. There's no doubt it has a perfect.

The new cameras at the back of the Council offices, within 24 hours of

them going up we had two persons arrested in relation to theft and

criminal damage, so they act as a deterrent but also enable us to get

evidence for early arrests and detections. As part of this upgrade,

the riverfront and all three bridges in the city are now covered by CCTV.

That is proving vital for the emergency services. It is another

set of eyes for us on duty and it allows us to respond quickly to

anyone in distress or at the railings or someone who has entered

the water. This latest upgrade to 80 cameras

and the staff monitoring for the next five years

will cost ?900,000. Is it about spying on people,

invading privacy? It is about making sure people are safe and feel safe

and if there is crime committed, we detect that crime, if people are

vulnerable we help them. CCTV is about helping people in their

everyday lives. We work with people in other agencies.

The emergency services believe it's money well spent.

The game is almost over for one of the world's most

The American broadcaster HBO has announced that Game of Thrones -

The former Prime Minister David Cameron was also an avid viewer,

as he showed on a visit to the set last year.

Game of Thrones is filmed here at Belfast's Titanic Studios

and in locations across Northern Ireland.

One critic has described it as swords, dragons,

That combination has made it a global success.

There's also been a financial return.

NI Screen have invested almost ?14 million of public

But in return they say it's brought ?150 million into the local economy

By the time Game of Thrones leaves Northern Ireland it will have been

on the ground for ten years, a long time in our game. We have been

planning for this for years. It leaves all the knowledge, support

companies, lighting and construction, they are all here and

There are still two series to be filmed.

We've heard of cats and dogs being used for pet therapy -

but in Ballymena a more unusual pet is helping one family.

Our north east reporter Sara Girvin has been to meet them -

He may be little but he's had a big impact on this family. Lynn has

serious health problems and has undergone a heart transplant. She

credits her miniature horse with helping her get back on her feet. If

I'm having a bad day I come out and sit in the garden and if he doesn't

want to talk to me, I can watch him and if he wants a cuddle, even

better. Lynn hopes that in time Truffles could be trained as a

therapy animal for others battling poor health but for now he lives

with the family and his best friend and I, the Jack Russell, who he

shares carrot sticks with. After the pair were spotted walking together

in Ballymena, Truffles became a social media star. I don't want to

save the word celebrity but in Ballymena you cannot help but feel

these ones up the road have a little worse, to see is just a pet, he's

just Truffles. And while truffles has his own or sports, he prefers

the family car. It is not long before he is attracting attention

and lots of it. It is a varied reaction, some people you were a mad

man walking a horse and other times the kids are overjoyed to see him

and stroke. It's given me a reason to get out for a walk. With

everything that has gone on with Lynn and her problems, I suffered a

bit, but it has given me a goal and a drive to get out. For now, the

family has Truffles in training. They are taking him around nursing

homes to meet residents. They want to spread the joy he has brought

them around Ballymena and beyond. A happy family and horse.

There was a rallying first over the weekend

Kris Meeke has won the Rally of Finland, becoming the first British

driver to claim the title in its history.

In a remarkable weekend for Meeke's team there was also an emotional

first podium finish for his Irish team-mate Craig Breen.

Meeke led almost the whole of the four-day race over the gravel

And the Dungannon man held his nerve to the last,

winning the rally by over 29 seconds, establishing a new

It's just been exceptional. I think yesterday morning we had to do

something special, this morning I had to take my brain and I think

yesterday I left it in the hotel somewhere, so it's been an

exceptional weekend and I might have a beer tonight.

Meeke's team-mate, driver Craig Breen, claimed third

place and was overwhelmed at his achievement.

It's been the most amazing day of my life, such a road to get here, I'm

missing my main man and I know he's looking down on me, thank you,

everybody, thank you so much. An emotional finish

to an historical rally. Craig Breen's codriver Gareth

Roberts died in an accident four years ago and he is evidently still

very much in his thoughts. Gaelic games a sell out crowd

is expected at Croke park for this Saturdays All-Ireland football

quarterfinal double header. Up first its Tyrone against Mayo -

then Donegal who saw of Cork over the weekend have to crack

the conundrum that is Carrigan, brilliant effort! Paul

Kerrigan's gold Coast into an early lead but also prompted a from

Donegal, in particular Paddy McNeice T. This is one of seven first-half

scores which saw the Ulster finalists trailed by a point at the

break. The game continued to ebb and flow and with 15 minutes to go Owen

McCue sees the ball to stroke over a score from distance, then in injury

time it was his cousin's turn to shine. If anything Ryan McCue's

finish was more sumptuous and pushed Donegal into a lead. We anticipated

a tough battle, we think Cork are one of the top teams in the country

and we are delighted with our response in the second half.

It's been some summer of sport and the countdown is on to the start

of the Olympic Games in Brazil this Friday.

Stephen Watson is in Rio for BBC Newsline.

This is the impressive athletes village for the largest ever

contingent from Northern Ireland will represent either team Ireland

for Team GB. The 28 competitors will not have much time to enjoy this

temporary beach as they continue their pursuit of an elusive Olympic

gold medal and for the duration of the games we will have daily

coverage here. Great to see the sunshine in Brazil. Our beaches are

just as good but let's see if we will have any sunshine. We're into

the last month of any summer but it doesn't look like it will play ball.

That weather is heading our way because of the jet stream, which

will fire in low pressure systems, keeping things unsettled so keep the

umbrellas candy. Tonight there is evening sunshine for a while and

then largely mild, but rain isn't far away for Tuesday. It will push

up from the Irish Midlands by early morning and that gives us a great

and drizzly day. Some rain could be heavy at first before it turns

lighter as it moves northwards. It will become rather damp and drizzly,

not too heavy but you will want to keep your umbrella handy. Winds our

light and it's still warm, 18 or 19 degrees. If you are travelling

tomorrow the more unsettled conditions across Ireland will

stretch across Ulster, England and Wales bear the brunt of wet weather,

north of that the best sunshine is in Scotland and it could be warmed

towards the south-east of England. Once we begin to lose their heavier

rain it will become patchier tomorrow evening but staying very

and drunk with further drizzle for parts of the West and North Coast.

Tomorrow night stays mild, temperatures no lower than 14 or 15

degrees but winds will begin to build and it doesn't look pretty for

Wednesday, lots of rain, blustery conditions and torrential downpours,

enough to cause spot flooding in places, we will keep an eye on that.

There is good news, a look ahead to Thursday and Friday, when Stern

lighter and it will be a mix of sunshine and scattered showers. And

that was BBC Newsline. Thank you for
