:01:59. > :02:03.faces an ounce to preparing to assist someone in an act of
:02:04. > :02:07.terrorism, and the details of that charge were given at some length
:02:08. > :02:12.today and they amounted to purchasing substances to make
:02:13. > :02:18.explosives, purchasing items to make explosive devices, getting hold of a
:02:19. > :02:24.picture of a PSNI pass card, some items of a PSNI uniform, then

:02:34. > :02:40.devices as well, some weapons, including a handgun and ammunition,
:02:41. > :02:44.in barrels in parkland in Northern Ireland. And also possessing some
:02:45. > :02:50.documentation that might be useful to terrorists, namely some
:02:51. > :02:55.information about how to construct explosive devices, and also tactics
:02:56. > :03:00.that might be used by terrorist groups. Remind us how these charges
:03:01. > :03:07.and the investigation came about. Well, it all came out of those two
:03:08. > :03:12.big finds near to Larne in March and May where the PSNI, assisted by a
:03:13. > :03:17.member of the public, found barrels stuffed full of these improvised
:03:18. > :03:21.explosive devices, and some other weapons and ammunition. At the time,
:03:22. > :03:27.the PSNI said they were investigating suspected dissident
:03:28. > :03:31.republicanism. That investigation then broadened, they brought in the
:03:32. > :03:37.MI5 and it was taken over, effectively, by the Metropolitan
:03:38. > :03:41.police service in London, who take the lead for terrorist offences in
:03:42. > :03:46.England. They got involved with the Devon and Cornwall Police, and it
:03:47. > :03:50.led on August 24 the arrest of Ciaran Maxwell in Somerset, where he
:03:51. > :03:56.is based as a Royal Marine, and a search of his home in Devon and
:03:57. > :04:03.search of further parkland where more hides were found according to
:04:04. > :04:07.the charges. This documentation was found there. Intriguingly, there are
:04:08. > :04:11.two other charges he faces. One is the possession of cannabis with the
:04:12. > :04:18.intention to supply. And the other is a fraud offence which leads to
:04:19. > :04:23.the discovery of eight bank cards and numbers of them, and the ID
:04:24. > :04:26.cards of eight military men. There is an allegation also so of an
:04:27. > :04:31.attempt to commit fraud using bank cards. So, after today's court
:04:32. > :04:39.hearing, what happens to Ciaran Maxwell next? Normally, he would go
:04:40. > :04:42.to prison, he'd then appear at the Central criminal Court, the Old
:04:43. > :04:46.Bailey in London. Slightly unusually what happened today was that he was
:04:47. > :04:51.actually sent back to the police station while detectives carry out
:04:52. > :04:54.further investigations and he will appear back here at Westminster
:04:55. > :04:58.magistrates Court on Monday. That is an unusual procedure which is
:04:59. > :05:03.frankly I've not seen before. But it is allowed under the Terrorism Act.
:05:04. > :05:05.We see him back here on Monday after further investigation by the police.
:05:06. > :05:07.Thank you. The Republic's cabinet has agreed
:05:08. > :05:09.to appeal the European Commission's ruling that the government gave
:05:10. > :05:12.undue tax benefits to Apple. The Commission wants the technology
:05:13. > :05:16.giant to pay up to 13 billion euro Some opponents have likened this
:05:17. > :05:23.Apple story to a fairy tale. Here's our Dublin
:05:24. > :05:36.correspondent, Shane Harrison. Once upon a time, there was a big
:05:37. > :05:40.row after Brussels accused Irish government and Apple of colluding in
:05:41. > :05:45.tax avoidance in other countries. The penalty? Apple must pay Dublin,
:05:46. > :05:52.who was reluctant to take it, 13 billion euros, plus interest. I was
:05:53. > :05:57.snow-white today. Snow-white fell for a poison Apple, and we are
:05:58. > :06:05.asking our government to take the tax and spend it on social services.
:06:06. > :06:11.Apple employs 5,000 people in Ireland. Its headquarters are here.
:06:12. > :06:14.It's going to appeal against the decision. After a joint Cabinet
:06:15. > :06:20.meeting, the Irish government unanimously agreed to do likewise
:06:21. > :06:24.and to forego the 13 billion euros plus interest, enough to pay for the
:06:25. > :06:29.health service for one year. While Sinn Fein and the left may find that
:06:30. > :06:33.decision outrageous and bizarre, those are the very words the finance
:06:34. > :06:42.minister used about the commission's finding and because of its
:06:43. > :06:49.implications for future jobs for multinationals. How can anyone else,
:06:50. > :06:54.here if valid arrangements under law can be overturned and they are
:06:55. > :07:00.liable to pay back money? That is the essential, key issue. If we were
:07:01. > :07:04.to subscribe to that without an appeal, it would undermine the
:07:05. > :07:07.400,000 jobs we have here. Independent ministers had asked for
:07:08. > :07:11.more time to discuss the implications of the commission's
:07:12. > :07:15.ruling before agreeing to the appeal. Their price was also an
:07:16. > :07:21.early recall of the Dail from its summer break to discuss tax issues,
:07:22. > :07:25.including justice. The government is expected to put down a motion on
:07:26. > :07:29.Wednesday supporting both the decision to appeal and the
:07:30. > :07:31.relatively low corporation tax rate of 12.5%. It is a vote it will
:07:32. > :07:34.expect to win comfortably. The police have launched a campaign
:07:35. > :07:36.to highlight hate crimes Officers have dealt with 66
:07:37. > :07:42.incidents against disabled people in the past five months ranging
:07:43. > :07:46.from name calling to assault Our home affairs correspondent,
:07:47. > :08:01.Vincent Kearney, has more. Michael Bailey was afraid to turn on
:08:02. > :08:06.his lights at night. Afraid he would be attacked in his own home. The
:08:07. > :08:09.60-year-old father and grandfather from West Belfast spent years living
:08:10. > :08:15.in fear of attack from local teenagers. I was sitting alone in
:08:16. > :08:21.darkness, I kept turning the lights off in the house, I was pretending I
:08:22. > :08:27.wasn't in. That's because if they knew you were in...? It would have
:08:28. > :08:31.been far worse. Michael is sure he was being attacked because he is an
:08:32. > :08:35.easy target in a wheelchair. He believes he was a victim of
:08:36. > :08:39.disability hate crime. A group of teenagers even tried to steal his
:08:40. > :08:43.wheelchair as he made his way home after attending a meeting of a
:08:44. > :08:47.disability group. They started to hit me and punch me. And they
:08:48. > :08:59.started to push me out of my wheelchair. I pressed the alarm. And
:09:00. > :09:05.the guys disbursed. They surrounded the house. There must have been
:09:06. > :09:12.about 40 of them. In a short video released as part of a short PSNI
:09:13. > :09:18.campaign to put a spotlight on the issue, Michael spoke about his
:09:19. > :09:22.ordeal. And about the psychological impact it has had. This story is far
:09:23. > :09:27.from unique. Police say they've dealt with 66 incidents where the
:09:28. > :09:30.motivation for an attack was a victim's disability during the past
:09:31. > :09:36.five months. The incidents range from name-calling and anti-social
:09:37. > :09:40.behaviour to assault and criminal damage to property. Police believe
:09:41. > :09:44.the number of attacks on people with disabilities is much higher than the
:09:45. > :09:48.recorded figures and are urging victims to come forward. No one has
:09:49. > :09:51.yet been convicted for disability hate crime attacks and the police
:09:52. > :09:55.say they also need the help of the public to catch those responsible.
:09:56. > :10:00.To bring offenders to justice, to help people, we need victims'
:10:01. > :10:04.corporation, we need people to cooperate with us to speak to us
:10:05. > :10:09.about what has happened, but also for the wider community to tell us
:10:10. > :10:13.about what's happening in communities. After a long period of
:10:14. > :10:16.physical and verbal abuse, Michael and his wife left their home in the
:10:17. > :10:18.West Belfast area. The police say anyone who wants
:10:19. > :10:21.to report a hate crime should ring the non-emergency number 101,
:10:22. > :10:22.contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111

:17:01. > :17:09.This is Bella, she doesn't have a tick as far as we know but the bet
:17:10. > :17:15.is with me now. John, if you are looking for a tick, how would you go
:17:16. > :17:20.about it? Dogs would pick some up on their forelimbs, underneath on their
:17:21. > :17:24.bellies. On their tummy. Armpits, groin, and frequently they will get
:17:25. > :17:29.them around their face and ears because dogs, as we know, are very
:17:30. > :17:36.inquisitive, and they will stick their noses into everything to
:17:37. > :17:41.inspect, and they will frequently get tix for their efforts. What is
:17:42. > :17:47.your advice when you find a tick? The classic reaction is they will
:17:48. > :17:51.want to try to pull the tick off, and that isn't the thing to do,
:17:52. > :17:54.that's the worst thing to do because the tick has teeth, and the teeth
:17:55. > :17:58.bite into the skin and you actually can't see the teeth from the
:17:59. > :18:04.outside. If your dog has a tick, the best thing to do is to bring it into
:18:05. > :18:07.the vets. We use this little instrument, we slide it in
:18:08. > :18:19.underneath the tick, and it is important that we use a twisting and
:18:20. > :18:21.pulling action at the one time. Most commonly, dogs will get parasites in
:18:22. > :18:26.areas where the air is thick, rough grass. Woodland areas, agricultural
:18:27. > :18:31.areas and wet areas. So, good advice and a lot for dog owners to think
:18:32. > :18:35.about. Thank you to John and of course to Bella. Gorgeous and well
:18:36. > :18:37.groomed! More than 15 acres of former sewage
:18:38. > :18:40.lagoons are being transformed into a wild flower meadow in County

:18:42. > :18:57.correspondent, Conor Macauley, The 15 acre site is at the back of a
:18:58. > :19:01.waste water treatment plant on the shores of Loch neigh. The ground has
:19:02. > :19:10.been reclaimed from what were once huge sewage lagoons. This treats
:19:11. > :19:16.waste, and the by-product was dumped in the ponds, something that has now
:19:17. > :19:19.stopped. They had to be cleaned up. Halfway through the ?6 million
:19:20. > :19:23.project, Northern Ireland Water plumped for an innovative plan, to
:19:24. > :19:27.develop a huge wild flower meadow. We identified this as an opportunity
:19:28. > :19:32.to change from the initial proposal of simple grassland to wild flower
:19:33. > :19:37.meadows, to give the benefit to the ecology and the area. Seeds from
:19:38. > :19:49.native plants like this wild Mint were harvested. Wildflower meadows
:19:50. > :19:56.from the area. Next summer should see flowers favoured by butterflies
:19:57. > :20:02.and red clover covering this ground. But that is just the beginning.
:20:03. > :20:10.There will be this cuckoo flower, which people identify with the
:20:11. > :20:14.cuckoo. Then you have other animals that will also be in here like the
:20:15. > :20:19.pygmy shrew, which attracts kestrels. Come next spring, this
:20:20. > :20:23.whole area will be bursting with wild flowers and a lot of wildlife.
:20:24. > :20:28.It's a good example of how industry and the environment can happily live
:20:29. > :20:32.side-by-side. This just one drawback- as it is an industrial
:20:33. > :20:40.site, no public access. At least that means the wildlife will be

:22:53. > :23:06.for Michael O'Neill's men. We've got to try to gain momentum
:23:07. > :23:10.from early on in this campaign. And the aim is to make sure you come
:23:11. > :23:14.away with something, do not lose, so you get the ball rolling. Officer,
:23:15. > :23:19.the Czech Republic will be one of the better sides in the group, we
:23:20. > :23:23.know that. So it's just about being confident and, basically, sticking
:23:24. > :23:29.to the game plan. The manager and his backroom staff have a plan and
:23:30. > :23:31.we are sticking and going along with that.

:23:49. > :23:58.It should be a big crowd. It is a fantastic day for Jamie, for a club
:23:59. > :24:02.of this size and stature, of Rangers, to come to Belfast. It is
:24:03. > :24:08.all about Jamie on Saturday. The more people that come... Kick-off is

:24:24. > :24:28.passionate, they hate on you when you're there and I love it! For a
:24:29. > :24:32.small hockey market, they love it, which is what I love about playing

:24:55. > :24:57.lots of sport this weekend, there are lots of events happening
:24:58. > :25:04.outdoors, including the airshow import rush. You'll want to know
:25:05. > :25:11.what the weather forecast has in store. As always, beautiful pictures
:25:12. > :25:12.behind you, it looks like either Rapunzel or Cinderella's Castle.
:25:13. > :25:23.That is what I'm going home to! Saturday's forecast has given us a
:25:24. > :25:27.bit of a headache this week. It's down to Harry Kane Gaston, which
:25:28. > :25:33.isn't affecting is directly but is influencing the weather system. By
:25:34. > :25:37.tomorrow, it is not a hurricane anymore. We will see some rain
:25:38. > :25:42.tomorrow and we are confident things will improve for Sunday. Simply put,
:25:43. > :25:46.Saturday will bring rain, Sunday will be the better of the two days
:25:47. > :25:51.and next week we are expecting temperatures to get back up into the
:25:52. > :25:55.low 20s so summer hasn't given up on us just yet. The small chance of a
:25:56. > :25:59.shower affecting the Ulster match this evening, otherwise one or two
:26:00. > :26:04.showers. It will be largely dry, a little bit cooler than this in the
:26:05. > :26:08.countryside. Tomorrow morning, dry first thing but it went last because
:26:09. > :26:12.we expect the rain to move quickly North. It will head towards the
:26:13. > :26:17.coast. There will be heavy and prolonged rain for a while,
:26:18. > :26:22.particularly Belfast. Then it eases away south-east would so we should
:26:23. > :26:26.see a dry gap developing around about lunchtime- early afternoon
:26:27. > :26:29.just as the airshow kicks off. The showers will still be around and
:26:30. > :26:33.there will be heavy showers later in the day so it is an unsettled day
:26:34. > :26:39.but there may be some dry gaps for a little while in the afternoon with
:26:40. > :26:43.temperatures up to 17 at best. Some rain at some stage tomorrow at
:26:44. > :26:47.Portrush but a better day to come on Sunday. Hopefully things won't be
:26:48. > :26:51.spoilt too much. This bunch of heavy showers will sweep in from the West
:26:52. > :26:55.and there could be some thunder and lightning before they finally start
:26:56. > :26:59.to clear away tomorrow evening. It is drying up tomorrow night, could
:27:00. > :27:05.get a little bit chilly in the countryside with mist and fog, but
:27:06. > :27:10.then a better day on Sunday with sunshine, light winds, and
:27:11. > :27:18.temperatures up to 17 - 19. Things will get warmer still as we move
:27:19. > :27:23.into the new week. Initially, blustery but we see more or in a way
:27:24. > :27:28.of sunshine, and there is some hot air through Africa and up towards us
:27:29. > :27:31.with temperatures up to the low 20s. It is mixed this weekend but warming
:27:32. > :27:38.up next week. Love the sound of that. We have
:27:39. > :27:43.updates at 8pm and 9pm, and our late news is at 10:30pm. If you have a
