warmer for the early part of next week.

:00:00.:00:17.

This is BBC Newsline, and these are the headlines

:00:18.:00:20.

A year after it was outlawed there have been no prosecutions

:00:21.:00:24.

The First and Deputy First Ministers lay out their priorities

:00:25.:00:30.

A charity says some children on free school meals

:00:31.:00:34.

Calls for greater help for cancer

:00:35.:00:41.

Looking back at the formation of the Peace People 40 years on.

:00:42.:00:50.

Join me live in Rio for all the latest,

:00:51.:00:56.

And can we expect the sun to come out tomorrow?

:00:57.:01:02.

I'll tell you later in the programme.

:01:03.:01:10.

It's emerged that no one in Northern Ireland has been

:01:11.:01:16.

prosecuted for paying for sex, even though it's been illegal now

:01:17.:01:19.

The law, a UK first, was introduced last June after it

:01:20.:01:23.

got the backing of the vast majority of Assembly Members.

:01:24.:01:27.

It was feared the move would push the sex trade further underground

:01:28.:01:30.

and expose sex workers to a greater risk.

:01:31.:01:33.

Our political correspondent Enda McClafferty reports

:01:34.:01:35.

This is how the PSNI have been cracking down on human traffickers

:01:36.:01:44.

They raid brothels and take the sex workers being exploited into care.

:01:45.:01:55.

It's big business in Northern Ireland,

:01:56.:01:57.

with police estimating that up to half a million pounds a week

:01:58.:02:00.

But for the past year police have been able,

:02:01.:02:03.

for the first time, to target those who are handing over

:02:04.:02:06.

the cash under a new law which makes it illegal to pay for sex.

:02:07.:02:09.

According to police more than 800 men are paying for sex

:02:10.:02:15.

But only ten have been investigated by the PSNI on suspicion of paying

:02:16.:02:21.

Of the seven of them referred to the Public Prosecution Service,

:02:22.:02:28.

three cases were thrown out, two men received cautions

:02:29.:02:30.

while the remaining two cases are still being considered

:02:31.:02:32.

So far no one has been prosecuted under the new law.

:02:33.:02:40.

That news has come as no surprise to the man

:02:41.:02:45.

who was in charge of justice when the law was introduced.

:02:46.:02:50.

When this law was introduced, I said the priority had to be in dealing

:02:51.:02:56.

with human trafficking, protecting the victims. It is clear that

:02:57.:03:01.

getting prosecutions against simple prostitution is much more

:03:02.:03:04.

complicated than that, and we now see the stats that there have not

:03:05.:03:06.

been any prosecutions. And he isn't the only one

:03:07.:03:08.

who had reservations. Some of those involved in the sex

:03:09.:03:10.

trade say the new law has exposed Most clients are aware of it, and

:03:11.:03:22.

you see that they are more reluctant to screen, so it is very hard for

:03:23.:03:26.

sex workers to screen these clients, and I have definitely seen it that

:03:27.:03:33.

you aren't able to get that information. They might switch

:03:34.:03:38.

numbers quite often, so it contacts, or perhaps contact you via a private

:03:39.:03:41.

number, so you're not sure who you are getting.

:03:42.:03:43.

The DUP's Lord Morrow, who pushed for the new legislation,

:03:44.:03:46.

says he's disappointed by the lack of prosecutions, but insists it will

:03:47.:03:49.

I can't tell the police what their priorities should be, but I do

:03:50.:03:58.

believe that the police and value it, I believe that they are keen to

:03:59.:04:05.

see me in the meditation and the enforcement, and I look to the PPS

:04:06.:04:08.

to do what they are supposed to be doing. If over the next 12 months

:04:09.:04:12.

there is no change, then we will be talking to the PPS to ask them to

:04:13.:04:14.

explain the reason why. So why have police not been able -

:04:15.:04:17.

so far - to bring those Our priority is to target the human

:04:18.:04:32.

trafficking element of it, organised criminality. It is not about

:04:33.:04:39.

targeting an individual sex worker that is selling sex. That is not the

:04:40.:04:43.

priority for us. The priority is to make sure that sex workers not

:04:44.:04:46.

honourable, does not fall victim to a crime. -- is not vulnerable. If we

:04:47.:04:55.

come across criminality we will address it, and that has led to the

:04:56.:04:58.

ten people being referred to the prosecution service in the last

:04:59.:05:03.

year. It is too early to pass judgment on the new law, but initial

:05:04.:05:08.

indications suggest it will be difficult to prosecute those who pay

:05:09.:05:13.

for sex. So how effective will be legislation be in protecting those

:05:14.:05:16.

victims of human trafficking? That of a question our politicians will

:05:17.:05:19.

have to consider when they review the law in two years' time.

:05:20.:05:27.

A man in his 30s has been wounded several times in the legs

:05:28.:05:30.

It happened at Rinmore Drive in the Creggan area last night.

:05:31.:05:34.

The man who was shot in each ankle and in a thigh is said to be

:05:35.:05:38.

Dissident Republicans are being blamed for the attack.

:05:39.:05:41.

The First and Deputy First Ministers say they must be fully

:05:42.:05:44.

involved in the negotiations regarding the UK's future

:05:45.:05:46.

relationships with the EU and other countries.

:05:47.:05:49.

And they've written to the Prime Minister,

:05:50.:05:51.

Our political editor Mark Devenport has seen their letter.

:05:52.:05:57.

Are there any major surprises in what they've said?

:05:58.:06:03.

Isobars the first thing you have to say is that given that Eileen faster

:06:04.:06:08.

and Martin McGuinness were on opposite sides of the referendum

:06:09.:06:12.

campaign, it is a bit about supplies they have managed come up with a

:06:13.:06:17.

common position, putting their differences to one side and saying

:06:18.:06:21.

our common concerns about things like the border, the economy,

:06:22.:06:26.

energy, EU funding and agriculture. A bit of a surprise that they have

:06:27.:06:29.

at least been able to put this much flesh on the bones.

:06:30.:06:31.

Of those areas, which are most likely to catch attention?

:06:32.:06:35.

I think the section on the economy is interesting, because obviously

:06:36.:06:45.

the DUP was ill delete back in the Brexit camp. To Reza May says that

:06:46.:06:50.

Brexit means Brexit, but there are very different versions. Some people

:06:51.:06:54.

in England think it will be a clamp-down on immigration and

:06:55.:06:57.

pulling out of the single market. It would appear from this letter that

:06:58.:07:04.

the DUP is in the Brexit like to camp. Arlene Foster has said they

:07:05.:07:08.

put their name to retaining as far as possible trade with EU states,

:07:09.:07:16.

and it is important that Northern Ireland retains access to an skilled

:07:17.:07:19.

as well as highly skilled labour, and refers to the thousands of

:07:20.:07:21.

people who live across the border on a daily basis for work. I think that

:07:22.:07:26.

appears at least on the economic side of the argument the DUP on E

:07:27.:07:34.

Brexit light camp. You would think Martin McGuinness would be happy

:07:35.:07:39.

with the torn off lots of this. And the border question? They say it is

:07:40.:07:44.

important there is a continuing movement of people and services

:07:45.:07:48.

across the border. They took heart from Theresa May saying that that

:07:49.:07:52.

should be the case. They warn that the border should not be a catalyst

:07:53.:07:57.

for illegal activity and should not create an incentive for those who

:07:58.:07:59.

would wish to undermine the peace process. They say you have to look

:08:00.:08:04.

at any changes you may make in terms of custom checks or whatever on the

:08:05.:08:07.

border through a political light, in terms of what it can do to the peace

:08:08.:08:09.

process. The aerospace firm Bombardier is

:08:10.:08:18.

bringing forward was 100 redundancies they had planned to

:08:19.:08:23.

make last year. They said they were planning to cut 1000 workers over

:08:24.:08:27.

two years, about 20% of its workforce in Northern Ireland. They

:08:28.:08:32.

say they cut of 95 now being made is regrettable but necessary to ensure

:08:33.:08:37.

its long-term survival. Still to come on the programme before 7pm.

:08:38.:08:48.

The Maiden City Festival gets underway in Derry.

:08:49.:08:52.

A leading charity has told BBC Newsline that some children who get

:08:53.:08:55.

free school meals in term-time are going hungry over the holidays.

:08:56.:08:57.

Barnardo's says more summer schemes should include meals.

:08:58.:09:03.

Our education correspondent Robbie Meredith has been to see

:09:04.:09:05.

It is breakfast time at the Barnardo's summer scheme at this

:09:06.:09:20.

primary School in East Belfast. Before the day's fun, there are free

:09:21.:09:27.

meals, which are a healthy, popular and needed, according to one mum who

:09:28.:09:31.

brings her son 's long. They have got used to having this nice, hot

:09:32.:09:36.

meal prepared for their children, and now they have to prepare that at

:09:37.:09:40.

home, and some people just do not have the means. We are in area of

:09:41.:09:44.

serious underprivileged here, and some people cannot afford it. It is

:09:45.:09:48.

frightening to think that all these children are hungry. Over 80,000

:09:49.:09:53.

children in Northern Ireland get free school meals, mainly because

:09:54.:09:58.

there parents are working in low income jobs are benefits. We simply

:09:59.:10:03.

do not know how many meth meals over the summer holidays, but some

:10:04.:10:06.

teaching unions and the trust will trust which operates many food banks

:10:07.:10:10.

say there should be more schemes like this. The numbers at this one

:10:11.:10:15.

are high. Well up into the 90s we have had, a lot of families of under

:10:16.:10:20.

fives. Some families with four children under the age of sex. We

:10:21.:10:24.

have been working with the food bank year, and they recognise there had

:10:25.:10:30.

been families asking for food parcels. -- children under the age

:10:31.:10:36.

of six. We have been providing free breakfast and families have said

:10:37.:10:38.

they appreciate that, not having to worry about one meal of the day at

:10:39.:10:46.

least. We have to glide more and spend more money without the free

:10:47.:10:51.

meals. And the scheme has other benefits as well. It gets mums out

:10:52.:10:58.

and mixing. Maybe they don't know anybody, so they can come down and

:10:59.:11:01.

interact, and it is brilliant. And for the children. And afterwards,

:11:02.:11:07.

everybody pitches in to do the dishes.

:11:08.:11:08.

Tributes have been paid to the Duke of Westminster who has

:11:09.:11:10.

He was born in Omagh, named Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor,

:11:11.:11:14.

and was raised at Ely Lodge on the shores of Lough Erne

:11:15.:11:17.

He spoke fondly of his childhood in County Fermanagh and said

:11:18.:11:21.

he would have spent his life there, but had inherited the dukedom

:11:22.:11:25.

The Duke of Westminster's fortune was estimated at around

:11:26.:11:31.

?8 billion pounds by Forbes magazine, making him the UK's

:11:32.:11:34.

A woman who is returning to work after having cancer is calling

:11:35.:11:42.

for greater help for people in a similar position who are taking

:11:43.:11:47.

Lynette McKendry from County Antrim says her employer,

:11:48.:11:51.

the Civil Service, has fully supported her, but others haven't

:11:52.:11:54.

A cancer charity says employers must be more

:11:55.:11:59.

Our health correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly has the story.

:12:00.:12:06.

Laptop, work phone and emails - signs that life is slowly

:12:07.:12:09.

Juggling home life, cancer and a phased return to work

:12:10.:12:14.

I felt that whenever I was at home every day, all day, all that

:12:15.:12:33.

concerned my life was cancer, treatment, doctors appointments,

:12:34.:12:35.

hospital appointments. It is all I thought about. Getting back to work

:12:36.:12:41.

has helped me have something else to focus on.

:12:42.:12:41.

When Lynette spoke to the BBC in February, she was about to have

:12:42.:12:44.

Since then, colleagues have phoned and visited.

:12:45.:12:47.

While her line manager kept her distance, at the same

:12:48.:12:49.

According to Lynette, it's critical that employers

:12:50.:12:52.

I think it is important that employers in for the patients or the

:12:53.:13:09.

staff about those rights. It just takes the weight off your shoulders

:13:10.:13:12.

if you know your employer is there to support you.

:13:13.:13:13.

The Disability Discrimination Act protects people,

:13:14.:13:15.

particularly those returning from longterm illness.

:13:16.:13:16.

While being flexible might be difficult for smaller companies,

:13:17.:13:19.

in Lynette's case the Civil Service was able to be more accommodating.

:13:20.:13:24.

A sign of the times - dealing with cancer

:13:25.:13:26.

I think it is important that they start to feel that life can be

:13:27.:13:38.

normal for them again, and a big part of normality is going to work.

:13:39.:13:41.

In addition to that, staff themselves who perhaps have

:13:42.:13:45.

financial challenges with not being back at work, and it is a important

:13:46.:13:50.

that we hope and that respect as well.

:13:51.:13:50.

Of the 20,000 people here who have cancer and are working, almost half

:13:51.:13:54.

will have to make changes to their working life.

:13:55.:13:56.

It is all about just that little bit of flexibility sometimes. People can

:13:57.:14:05.

suffer from chronic fatigue, and so maybe it is just about getting back

:14:06.:14:10.

on a paste approach, and it is important, because cancer is covered

:14:11.:14:15.

under legislation, and many employers are aware of that. -- are

:14:16.:14:19.

not aware of that. Lynette's cancer story

:14:20.:14:20.

isn't over yet. You're watching BBC Newsline -

:14:21.:14:23.

still to come before 7pm... The weather played its part in

:14:24.:14:32.

preparations for this weekend's Ulster Grand Prix.

:14:33.:14:35.

40 years ago today, the death of three children in west Belfast

:14:36.:14:38.

led to the formation of what became known as the Peace People.

:14:39.:14:41.

For a time, many people hoped it might help end the violence.

:14:42.:14:45.

But it was many years later before the paramilitary ceasefires

:14:46.:14:48.

and birth of what's commonly referred to as the peace process.

:14:49.:14:53.

At its height in the mid-70s, the Peace People drew

:14:54.:14:59.

thousands of mainly women from both communities out onto the streets

:15:00.:15:03.

to call for an end to the violence in Northern Ireland.

:15:04.:15:07.

40 years on and the movement is still going, but with

:15:08.:15:10.

I think the profound thing that should be remembered about the Peace

:15:11.:15:26.

People as that the level of violence dropped by 70%. While the violence

:15:27.:15:30.

abated somewhat for a while, it did return, but never back to the levels

:15:31.:15:32.

it was at. The movement was spearheaded by two

:15:33.:15:33.

women, Betty Williams and her friend Mairead Corrigan, who felt

:15:34.:15:36.

compelled to do something after she lost two nephews and a niece

:15:37.:15:38.

in a Troubles related incident. The Peace People movement grew out

:15:39.:15:51.

of one particular tragedy here in west Belfast when a car careered off

:15:52.:15:57.

the road onto this is the path and struck a family group, killing three

:15:58.:16:00.

young children. The car was being driven by an IRA member, who was

:16:01.:16:06.

shot dead at the wheel by soldiers chasing after him. Please stop

:16:07.:16:11.

getting the young ones doing things that they don't even want to do.

:16:12.:16:15.

Please stop the violence. People can't take any more. It is just too

:16:16.:16:17.

much. Throughout the 70s,

:16:18.:16:17.

the Peace People acquired a profile far beyond these shores,

:16:18.:16:19.

and the work they did was recognised with the Nobel Peace Prize

:16:20.:16:22.

for the two founding members. Some said its message was too

:16:23.:16:24.

simplistic to stand One particular march along

:16:25.:16:29.

the Falls Road in west Belfast came under attack

:16:30.:16:33.

from Republican supporters. With the days of mass protest

:16:34.:16:38.

marches long gone and a political peace process established

:16:39.:16:40.

at Stormont, the organisation says

:16:41.:16:42.

it still has a job to do. We hold onto this thing, people

:16:43.:16:56.

refer to it as a dream that tight - it is not. This still goes on, and

:16:57.:17:01.

we think it is a great product to sell all over the world. -- a dream

:17:02.:17:04.

that died. 40 years on, and

:17:05.:17:05.

the enduring message from the Peace People is that good

:17:06.:17:07.

can come from tragedy. The traditional Maiden City

:17:08.:17:12.

Festival has started. And as Keiron Tourish reports,

:17:13.:17:16.

visitors to Londonderry have been taking in a range

:17:17.:17:18.

of different events reflecting Despite the weather,

:17:19.:17:20.

there were plenty of well attended performances of Ulster Scots dancing

:17:21.:17:38.

on the city walls over recent days. If the city had surrendered

:17:39.:17:41.

to James, then it would have cleared the way to let James into Scotland

:17:42.:17:44.

and down through England. It has developed a diverse

:17:45.:17:47.

range of events. All of them give the visitor

:17:48.:17:49.

a fascinating glimpse You haven't come

:17:50.:17:51.

across a man, have you? A host of actors representing

:17:52.:17:55.

well-known characters from the siege of Derry

:17:56.:18:01.

have been putting on That is the trouble, if you have to

:18:02.:18:18.

read something, but if you see it live - nice job.

:18:19.:18:21.

In the newly opened siege museum, there was a strong focus

:18:22.:18:24.

On this significant 100 year anniversary.

:18:25.:18:31.

They are World War I artefacts of trench art.

:18:32.:18:38.

And we also have contemporary 21st-century portraits

:18:39.:18:40.

So with seminars, drama, music and dance on the wall,

:18:41.:19:01.

there is something for everyone ahead of the main

:19:02.:19:03.

More unpredictable weather in Rio is upsetting the schedule

:19:04.:19:16.

at the Olympic Games - Stephen Watson is there for us.

:19:17.:19:19.

The weather hasn't called the golfer 's many problems here at the new

:19:20.:19:31.

court in the middle of Rio where round one tees off tomorrow, but it

:19:32.:19:36.

has for the Rovers. The weather is a bit more like Ireland than sunny

:19:37.:19:42.

Brazil, so the race has been a spot for the second time during these

:19:43.:19:46.

games. Richard Chambers from Coleraine won the have to wait until

:19:47.:19:50.

tomorrow to race for a place in his final four Team GB.

:19:51.:19:58.

Meanwhile, Irish boxer Michael O'Reilly has left

:19:59.:19:59.

the Olympic Village after he opted not to contest a suspension

:20:00.:20:02.

He has admitted he took a supplement that may have contained

:20:03.:20:06.

Under anti-doping rules O'Reilly's violation leaves him facing

:20:07.:20:09.

a possible ban of up to four years, and some within the sport

:20:10.:20:12.

are questioning both his actions and the way this

:20:13.:20:15.

To be honest, the fact that he declared he had taken something -

:20:16.:20:29.

OK, he didn't know it was a banned substance in that supplement that he

:20:30.:20:34.

too, but he would have been aware at that stage, something is going to

:20:35.:20:38.

show up here. Why did he even travel to the games at all? It is beyond

:20:39.:20:42.

me. I think it should be a lesson to any young athlete out there. Do not

:20:43.:20:47.

take anything that has not been supplied by your team.

:20:48.:20:59.

Clearly Stephen cannot hear us any more. We will try to return to real

:21:00.:21:03.

knack in just a moment. -- to Rio. Golf is making a return

:21:04.:21:07.

to the Olympic programme here in Rio The sport's inclusion hasn't been

:21:08.:21:10.

greeted with universal enthusiasm - and that has included some

:21:11.:21:14.

of the players. Indeed, the four top-ranked

:21:15.:21:16.

players in the world, including our own Rory McIlroy,

:21:17.:21:18.

aren't taking part. But plenty of other big names

:21:19.:21:19.

in the sport have embraced the competition, including

:21:20.:21:22.

Ireland's Padraig Harrington, It is great to be around the other

:21:23.:21:34.

athletes, go to the other sports and seeing how the others do it. It has

:21:35.:21:38.

been fantastic. It is a big deal for me. As a kid, I would have dreams of

:21:39.:21:43.

being an Olympic athlete. It is obviously such a big deal back on.

Luckily a couple of guys pulled out, and I get my opportunity. Are you

disappointed there has been such controversy about golf's return to

:21:52.:21:57.

the Olympics? Yes, there was no need for the controversy, to be honest. A

:21:58.:22:01.

couple of guys, conscientious objectors, didn't want to come, and

:22:02.:22:04.

that is fine. But in general it is going to be a great event. It's very

:22:05.:22:11.

similar to tennis. At the start the tennis guys did not want to come

:22:12.:22:16.

along, but eventually they see the light. I know there are some of the

:22:17.:22:19.

guys at home who are missing out, and feel like they should be here.

:22:20.:22:23.

So it will change over time. I know everybody who is here is loving it

:22:24.:22:27.

and having a great time. What would it mean to you to win an Olympic

:22:28.:22:31.

medal, especially that gold for the Marilyn? It would add substantially

:22:32.:22:39.

to my career. Winning a fourth major would not at that much, but winning

:22:40.:22:43.

three majors and Olympic gold is a big deal to me, and something that I

:22:44.:22:47.

would dearly like to do. The golf course here sits me nicely, I am in

Lee Johnson is already down with a broken collar bone, not good. Yes, I

will be, and if it is going to be wet until Saturday, it could get

Now for the weather forecast with Barra Best.

:26:02.:26:06.

The rain in real is probably warmer than our rain! -- in Rio. Most rain

:26:07.:26:21.

likely for coastal areas. As for tomorrow itself, a lot of cloud

:26:22.:26:25.

sticking around. There will be some rain. Thankfully not as much as

:26:26.:26:29.

today, but still out there, patchy and drizzly, not too heavy. Some

:26:30.:26:32.

misty and murky conditions in areas to kick-off the day. And in the

:26:33.:26:37.

afternoon, although a good deal of dry weather, a lot of cloud sticks

:26:38.:26:41.

around. Always the threat of drizzle, but a warmer day by several

:26:42.:26:47.

degrees in some places. If you are travelling elsewhere across Ireland

:26:48.:26:51.

tomorrow, a cloudy day for pretty much everywhere, drizzle here and

:26:52.:26:54.

there. The best chance of sunshine towards the south coast. Cloudy or

:26:55.:26:58.

the further north you go. Into the second part of the afternoon, we

:26:59.:27:04.

hold onto that cloud. Maybe a few breaks tomorrow evening. In Eastern

:27:05.:27:07.

counties the odd glimmer of sunshine, but not a lot of that on

:27:08.:27:13.

offer. Tomorrow night staying warm, largely dry, temperatures staying at

:27:14.:27:17.

14 or maybe 15 degrees in some places despite cloudy conditions

:27:18.:27:22.

during the day. Friday a promising start with early sunshine. It will

:27:23.:27:26.

not last long. On Friday the next wave of rain coming in, fairly

:27:27.:27:30.

widespread by the afternoon. Some south-westerly winds. But still 18

:27:31.:27:36.

or 19 degrees. There is good news. That will clear away, and by the

:27:37.:27:42.

weekend, and mixed bag. A lot of dry weather and sunshine, but keep an

:27:43.:27:44.

eye out for the odd scattered showers.

:27:45.:27:48.
