:00:15. > :00:17.The First Minister Arlene Foster rejects a call by Martin McGuinness

:00:18. > :00:29.We've always been very clear that the National crime agency is the

:00:32. > :00:33.A man is critically ill after an incident involving police

:00:34. > :00:37.More than half of people here don't want a border poll,

:00:42. > :00:44.A woman abused as a child by her foster father urges other

:01:00. > :01:11.After getting your exam results, what's next? I'm at a college in

:01:12. > :01:13.banker, a stepping stone to further education or employment.

:01:14. > :01:15.County down Paralympian Bethany Firth breaks her won world record

:01:16. > :01:17.in Rio she goes for gold in the pool tonight.

:01:18. > :01:22.And despite a dry start to Friday, it promises to be a wet and windy

:01:23. > :01:35.The First Minister Arlene Foster has rejected a call by Martin McGuinness

:01:36. > :01:39.for a cross-border NAMA inquiry saying it's "not appropriate."

:01:40. > :01:42.She said the National Crime Agency is the correct organisation

:01:43. > :01:49.to investigate revelations on the BBC Spotlight

:01:50. > :01:51.programme this week, when the Belfast

:01:52. > :01:52.businessman, Frank Cushnahan, was recorded accepting

:01:53. > :01:55.?40,000 in cash from a property developer

:01:56. > :01:58.who was a NAMA borrower at a time when Mr Cushnahan was working

:01:59. > :02:05.Here's our political correspondent Stephen Walker.

:02:06. > :02:18.Tuesday night Spotlight programme investigated Frank Cushnahan who

:02:19. > :02:22.was... The committee's job was to advise on NAMA's ?1 million

:02:23. > :02:26.portfolio here. An experienced businessman and former banker, he

:02:27. > :02:30.was praised by DUP ministers during Stormont committee meetings last

:02:31. > :02:33.year. Spotlight obtained at recording of Frank Cushnahan doing

:02:34. > :02:47.his own cash deal with developer John Miskelly. In return for his

:02:48. > :02:52.?40,000, John Miskelly was hoping Frank Cushnahan could help him with

:02:53. > :02:56.the deal to refinance his loans, get out of NAMA and retake control of

:02:57. > :03:01.his properties. This would represent a serious conflict of interest.

:03:02. > :03:03.Frank Cushnahan has consistently denied any wrongdoing. Any

:03:04. > :03:21.statement, John Miskelly said... Today, there was a call for the

:03:22. > :03:27.affair be investigated on an all Ireland basis. What we need is

:03:28. > :03:33.obviously the police investigations whether it be the American ones are

:03:34. > :03:36.not, investigated as soon as possible so we can have all the

:03:37. > :03:43.information about what was actually going on and I think we need an all

:03:44. > :03:48.Ireland investigation. The First Minister has rejected the call for

:03:49. > :03:51.an all Ireland enquiry. The National Crime Agency will continue with

:03:52. > :03:55.their investigation and ones that investigation is over, then we can

:03:56. > :03:58.look to see if there are any other consequential investigations that

:03:59. > :04:01.will have to take place. We have always been very clear that the

:04:02. > :04:04.National Crime Agency is the appropriate and professional

:04:05. > :04:08.organisation to deal with any allegations. This is a story that

:04:09. > :04:12.has many strands to it. There's a fear is being investigated by

:04:13. > :04:15.political committees in Dublin and Belfast and the number of law

:04:16. > :04:20.enforcement agencies. NAMA may no longer have a in Northern Ireland,

:04:21. > :04:23.what remains is a long list of unanswered questions.

:04:24. > :04:26.A man is in a critical condition in hospital after an incident

:04:27. > :04:30.involving police officers in Belfast city centre this morning.

:04:31. > :04:32.The Police Ombudsman's office is investigating what happened

:04:33. > :04:41.on Great Victoria Street, as Michael Fitzpatrick reports.

:04:42. > :04:46.One of Belfast's busiest roads were sealed off this morning as a police

:04:47. > :04:51.ombudsman investigation into what happened here got underway. Police

:04:52. > :04:55.were called to greet Victoria Street shortly before 5am after a report

:04:56. > :04:59.that a man had become violent. It is understood the man dressed only in

:05:00. > :05:03.his underwear was involved in an altercation with a number of taxi

:05:04. > :05:09.drivers. This taxi, sitting within recording, appeared to sustain some

:05:10. > :05:12.damage. During the man's arrest, spray was used and who later became

:05:13. > :05:19.unwell. He was taken to hospital where he is now any critical

:05:20. > :05:22.condition. The staff are in the process of photographing the scene

:05:23. > :05:28.and there are a number of items that are potentially relevant to the

:05:29. > :05:33.investigations, we've also conducted CCTV enquiries. We've secured some

:05:34. > :05:38.CCTV material and fitted and there will be further CCTV enquiries to be

:05:39. > :05:41.carried out. We've obtained a number of witness statements as well and

:05:42. > :05:45.there will be further witness statements in the next couple of

:05:46. > :05:50.days. The police ombudsman 's office has also said that restraint used by

:05:51. > :05:53.police. The investigation will seek to establish whether officers

:05:54. > :05:56.employed any other devices. Great Victoria Street was reopened this

:05:57. > :05:59.afternoon after forensic officers completed their friends at

:06:00. > :06:03.investigation of the scene. Well some statements have been gathered

:06:04. > :06:06.from witnesses, the police ombudsman's office has appealed for

:06:07. > :06:08.anyone else who has witnessed what has happened to contact them.

:06:09. > :06:11.More than half of people here do not want the government

:06:12. > :06:13.to call a border poll, according to a new survey

:06:14. > :06:16.carried out for the BBC's political programme The View.

:06:17. > :06:19.In the wake of June's referendum result, which saw the UK

:06:20. > :06:22.opting to leave the EU, Sinn Fein called on the Secretary

:06:23. > :06:24.of State to hold a border poll under the terms

:06:25. > :06:28.However, as our political editor Mark Devenport explains,

:06:29. > :06:44.Between the mid-August and early September, we interviewed more than

:06:45. > :06:48.1000 people face-to-face at locations across Northern Ireland.

:06:49. > :06:52.There are questions for the BBC were designed to shed some light on

:06:53. > :06:56.Northern Ireland after Brexit. In the immediate aftermath of June's

:06:57. > :07:00.referendum, Sinn Fein call her a border poll to decide Northern

:07:01. > :07:03.Ireland's constitutional status. Only one third of those interviewed

:07:04. > :07:09.agreed with them whilst more than half don't want a border poll. A

:07:10. > :07:12.further 15% didn't know whether they wanted one not. Predictably,

:07:13. > :07:18.enthusiasm for a border poll is greater amongst people with a

:07:19. > :07:20.catholic background than those with the Protestant background. More than

:07:21. > :07:25.half of the Catholics interviewed backed holding a border poll whilst

:07:26. > :07:29.more than seven out of ten of the president interviewed opposed such a

:07:30. > :07:32.move. Not surprisingly, because you live to the border, the more likely

:07:33. > :07:42.you seem to be in favour of a referendum. This shows the highest

:07:43. > :07:45.level of support with 47% in favour of holding a border poll whilst

:07:46. > :07:51.greater Belfast appears to be the most sceptical -- sceptical with 60%

:07:52. > :07:56.against the idea. Having established whether people want a border poll,

:07:57. > :08:00.they then went on to ask the key questions. How would you vote and

:08:01. > :08:05.has the UK's decision to leave the European Union change to your view?

:08:06. > :08:06.We will have the answers to those questions on it tonight's edition of

:08:07. > :08:10.the View. And to learn the full results

:08:11. > :08:12.of that opinion poll, don't forget to watch The View

:08:13. > :08:15.on BBC One at 10.45pm You're watching BBC Newsline.

:08:16. > :08:22.Still to come on the programme: An institution of the airwaves,

:08:23. > :08:29.Talkback celebrates its 30th year. A woman who was sexually abused

:08:30. > :08:33.as a child by her foster father has waived her right to anonymity

:08:34. > :08:36.to urge other victims Jackie O'Connor's foster

:08:37. > :08:40.father, Brian Gregory was jailed after pleading

:08:41. > :08:44.guilty to several I went to meet Jackie this afternoon

:08:45. > :08:58.at her home in Bangor. A secret kept for almost 30 years

:08:59. > :09:03.has finally been revealed. Abused from the age of five until she was

:09:04. > :09:07.11, Jackie O'Connor says she always knew it was wrong. Her abuser

:09:08. > :09:11.admitted the charges and was jailed for four years. Jackie has two small

:09:12. > :09:15.children and it was their birth that finally gave her the courage to go

:09:16. > :09:21.to the police. I want my children to know that they can always come to me

:09:22. > :09:27.and tell me anything, they will never be any secrets in my house.

:09:28. > :09:31.When they are old enough, they will be told. She says the four-year

:09:32. > :09:36.sentence has given her release and the strength to go on with her life.

:09:37. > :09:40.It impacted on my entire life until I went to the police. It's only now

:09:41. > :09:47.that I feel I can be the person that I want to be. I feel strong. How do

:09:48. > :09:55.she feel now about the only father she had ever known? I feel sad for

:09:56. > :10:07.him. I really feel sad for him that he... He took my childhood away. He

:10:08. > :10:12.ruins a father daughter relationship. I feel sad that way.

:10:13. > :10:15.Although advised against going public, she says she wants to tell

:10:16. > :10:19.other people who have been abused to have the confidence to come forward.

:10:20. > :10:24.I think it's really sad to know there are so many out there and they

:10:25. > :10:30.feel they don't have support really don't have anybody. To go forward

:10:31. > :10:36.and go to the police to report this. They must do it. There is so much

:10:37. > :10:41.support out there, there's a whole big network and you will have full

:10:42. > :10:45.support. And it will make a difference? Of course, a huge

:10:46. > :10:51.difference. How do you feel about life and I'm looking forward?

:10:52. > :10:54.Amazing, honestly, it's amazing. I have life name, it's a week there

:10:55. > :10:56.has been lifted off me. Jackie O'Connor speaking to me earlier.

:10:57. > :10:58.The charity, Childline, says it carried out nearly 350

:10:59. > :11:00.suicide counselling sessions with children

:11:01. > :11:04.According to the NSPCC, who runs the service, girls are far more

:11:05. > :11:07.likely to make the call and talk to a counsellor than boys.

:11:08. > :11:16.Ita Dungan has been finding out more.

:11:17. > :11:22.Thoughts of taking your own life means feeling of despair, darkness

:11:23. > :11:26.and utter loneliness. That is the situation each child in Northern

:11:27. > :11:31.Ireland found themselves in nearly every day of last year. For the

:11:32. > :11:37.first time, ChildLine has been able to break down some of its National

:11:38. > :11:40.statistics. The figures show almost 350 children each year contact the

:11:41. > :11:46.charity and mentioned suicidal thoughts or plans. Girls, the

:11:47. > :11:50.figures suggest, are six times more likely to share those suicidal

:11:51. > :11:53.feelings with a ChildLine volunteer than boys. According to the

:11:54. > :12:00.statistics, it is children between the ages of 12 and 15 who are most

:12:01. > :12:04.at risk. And across the UK, the number of children talking to the

:12:05. > :12:12.charity about taking their own lives has increased by 120% since 2011.

:12:13. > :12:17.The reasons why children have such a difficult time vary greatly. Some

:12:18. > :12:20.children at a very early age we do notice suffer from depression and

:12:21. > :12:24.that will make it very difficult for them to make friends and maintain

:12:25. > :12:28.friends. They may not have a good family background, it could be

:12:29. > :12:33.abusive, a whole variety of issues that will link into this. Being told

:12:34. > :12:38.that someone to talk to is very much part of youngster's lives. Every

:12:39. > :12:45.year we will deliver the programme to approximately 435 private schools

:12:46. > :12:49.reaching more than -- many children. Hopefully through their journey

:12:50. > :12:53.through school, they will get is really important messages reinforced

:12:54. > :12:57.many times throughout their education. Speaking out and staying

:12:58. > :12:58.safe, a simple but effective message.

:12:59. > :13:01.It's the start of the academic year and a busy time for our colleges

:13:02. > :13:05.For the school leavers who got their GCSE and A-level

:13:06. > :13:08.results last month, a college can be a pathway to employment

:13:09. > :13:12.Donna Traynor visited the South Eastern Regional

:13:13. > :13:29.This is the space building in the Bangor, a ?12 million facility that

:13:30. > :13:34.opened just last year for students in performing arts, competing and

:13:35. > :13:38.engineering. It has industry grade facilities and the emphasis here is

:13:39. > :13:43.very much on matching the students with skills that are necessary to

:13:44. > :13:49.get a job in industry ought to make them entrepreneurs of the future.

:13:50. > :13:52.This really is a melting pot for education from A-levels to

:13:53. > :13:56.apprenticeships, two foundation degrees. With me are two people

:13:57. > :14:02.who've been to this college. You left school when you had your GCSEs.

:14:03. > :14:05.What was your journey after that? I continued on to the level three

:14:06. > :14:09.extended programme which is the equivalent to three A-levels. I then

:14:10. > :14:18.progressed straight through the foundation degree. What subject did

:14:19. > :14:22.you study? Engineering. It was a mixture between manufacturing

:14:23. > :14:28.engineering and my degree was Mecca try, that is basically mechanical

:14:29. > :14:32.and electronic engineering. I like both aspects of engineering which

:14:33. > :14:37.was decent. Why do you think this was the best course for you to do? I

:14:38. > :14:43.always wondered whether or not it was going to be the job I wanted,

:14:44. > :14:48.like engineering. With this course, I was able to do my placement within

:14:49. > :14:50.the second year and it was only three months but three months is

:14:51. > :14:54.easy enough to know whether you are going to like what you're going to

:14:55. > :14:59.do and I very much enjoyed it. Best of luck in the future. You did go to

:15:00. > :15:06.university to start off with but then it changed your course and

:15:07. > :15:09.education. What happened? I had been studying medical science at

:15:10. > :15:13.University and didn't like it and dropped out and moved home. I wasn't

:15:14. > :15:16.finding any opportunities that I wanted so that I began looking

:15:17. > :15:21.education again and looked at the open University. I thought the

:15:22. > :15:25.competing degree would give me the best chance of employment. How

:15:26. > :15:30.important is it to have those practical skills in the workshops

:15:31. > :15:35.here? It's been very valuable for myself. Without it, I wouldn't have

:15:36. > :15:39.the practical experience I need in my day-to-day job now. Good luck in

:15:40. > :15:44.the future. It is a melting pot of education and is lots of students on

:15:45. > :15:48.this campus, this man is in charge of the curriculum. How important is

:15:49. > :15:55.that linking education with employment? It's absolutely vital

:15:56. > :16:01.for us. We need to ensure that we are supporting the local economy in

:16:02. > :16:07.Northern Ireland and part of that is the skill level of our staff so we

:16:08. > :16:10.invest a lot of time and effort into the professional development and

:16:11. > :16:14.ensuring that our staff have the right skills to deliver practical

:16:15. > :16:20.experience of students require. What makes you different from the

:16:21. > :16:24.University? One of the main differences is the focus is on the

:16:25. > :16:28.practical skills, we have smaller class sizes and the student loan to

:16:29. > :16:37.support each other and learn from each other. A big focus for us... We

:16:38. > :16:46.send staff over to Germany to train up on skills that we can then bring

:16:47. > :16:53.back and deliver to our students. We have attendance rates of 90% and 90%

:16:54. > :16:57.of the students who complete go on to either further study or

:16:58. > :17:04.employment. Those statistics speak for themselves. -- 98%. We have

:17:05. > :17:08.sustained a performance over a number of years. Some strings will

:17:09. > :17:11.come to this college and others who have completed their GCSEs and then

:17:12. > :17:15.out of the school environment which can be quite a shock. How do you

:17:16. > :17:19.help them in the transition? During the first two weeks of time, we have

:17:20. > :17:26.an induction to the college and the purpose of that is to develop the

:17:27. > :17:29.team-building exercises with our students. Students will inevitably

:17:30. > :17:34.learn from each other as much as learning from the tutor. They will

:17:35. > :17:39.get that support throughout the year from their peers. We want to make

:17:40. > :17:42.sure that the very happy in the college and can settle in quickly

:17:43. > :17:49.and become accustomed to the freedom that they wouldn't have at a normal

:17:50. > :17:53.or a school environment. Thank you. It is the start of the new academic

:17:54. > :17:57.career, the start of an exciting and new challenge for so many of the

:17:58. > :18:02.students here in the Bangor and elsewhere. If you'd like to share

:18:03. > :18:08.your experience of going to college, look at the conversation on our

:18:09. > :18:11.Facebook page. Coming up on the programme before seven, the

:18:12. > :18:15.Paralympian Bethany Firth breaks her own world record in Rio.

:18:16. > :18:18.A Londonderry woman who died after trekking in Indonesia last

:18:19. > :18:20.year is being remembered by a project in her name

:18:21. > :18:25.The young physio helped save the lives of several people

:18:26. > :18:33.The Lisa Orsi Foundation will also sponsor young people

:18:34. > :18:40.Here's our north-west reporter, Keiron Tourish.

:18:41. > :18:47.Lisa died in March last year after suffering extreme altitude sickness.

:18:48. > :18:51.Although only 22, she'd have travelled the world and lived life

:18:52. > :18:56.to be filled. She was working as a physio in Singapore hospital was

:18:57. > :19:02.part of this team which won the 24 Asian games in Kuala Lumpur. A

:19:03. > :19:06.foundation has been set up in her name. The aim is to give youngsters

:19:07. > :19:11.a chance to travel and experience new cultures. But they have to earn

:19:12. > :19:15.their chance to take part in the Asian games in China later this year

:19:16. > :19:20.by coaching younger members at their local clubs around the county. The

:19:21. > :19:24.last couple of years in the summer camps here I've been helping out and

:19:25. > :19:27.just trying to get the club up and going and get the most out of the

:19:28. > :19:31.games because they are always overlooked in the sport. The

:19:32. > :19:37.foundation also promotes organ donation. After her death, Lisa

:19:38. > :19:42.helped save more than five live as well as having several others. The

:19:43. > :19:49.more we keep Lisa's memory alive, the more people will decide, first

:19:50. > :19:55.of all, to take sport seriously, willing to donate their organs if

:19:56. > :19:59.the worst thing happens. The more Lisa's memory is alive, the more

:20:00. > :20:02.people will be inspired. We miss Lisa terribly bad but this is the

:20:03. > :20:06.one thing that is really keeping us going in life. The teenagers

:20:07. > :20:11.involved have enjoyed the challenge of coaching the children but for

:20:12. > :20:15.Lisa's family, it was also another important aspect to all of this

:20:16. > :20:23.highlighting the benefits of organ donation and how that can give

:20:24. > :20:24.precious life to many others. A lasting legacy.

:20:25. > :20:26.A special birthday was celebrated today -

:20:27. > :20:28.BBC Radio Ulster's Talkback programme has been

:20:40. > :20:45.30 years and going strong in an ever-changing industry, that is

:20:46. > :20:50.something to celebrate. Balloons, cake and party food, lots of guests

:20:51. > :21:00.and listeners who have been tuning in from the very start. I've been

:21:01. > :21:06.listening to Prugh from day one. -- Prugh. Prugh almost didn't get a

:21:09. > :21:11.Security Strategy and Strategic Defence and Security Review it broke

:21:12. > :21:17.the mould in those days 30 years ago. Top back, the programme that

:21:18. > :21:22.gets people talking and not only on air that fear. Lots of interesting

:21:23. > :21:53.public affairs in Northern Ireland and we are better for it.

:21:54. > :22:02.I thought Ian Paisley was going to jump into the roof when he heard it.

:22:03. > :22:07.But he kept his composure and his professionalism shone through. I

:22:08. > :22:14.thought it was a very balanced programme, didn't trivialise issues

:22:15. > :22:27.or sensationalise them. Another 30 years for Talkback, crazy? She

:22:28. > :22:32.thinks David looks a bit like Noel Thompson. Yes, have a look over

:22:33. > :22:36.there. There is plenty of life in Talkback. Many happy returns.

:22:37. > :22:39.Now sport with Mark Sidebottom and here's hoping for a gold medal

:22:40. > :22:41.for a Northern Irish Paralympian at the Games tonight.

:22:42. > :22:45.She shone in the pool at the London Paralympics four years ago and

:22:46. > :22:47.Bethany Firth looked very impressive in Rio this afternoon,

:22:48. > :22:51.winning her 100 metres backstroke heat in spectacular fashion.

:22:52. > :22:54.The 20-year-old from Seaforde goes for gold later tonight.

:22:55. > :23:09.The highlight of the spectacular opening ceremony last night saw an

:23:10. > :23:13.extraordinary wheelchair athlete propelling himself to any sex story

:23:14. > :23:20.high ramp and through a hoop, an amazing start in front of the 70,000

:23:21. > :23:24.strong crowd. Swimmer Bethany Firth from County Down and then made her

:23:25. > :23:29.own spectacular entrance to this game as the competition got

:23:30. > :23:31.underway. She is the reigning champion, winning gold as a member

:23:32. > :23:38.of the Ireland team in London four years ago. Since then, she has opted

:23:39. > :23:39.to swim for Paralympics at GD which has meant missing out on a number of

:23:40. > :23:45.major championships while also recovering from a broken wrist. She

:23:46. > :23:48.showed them what they were up against today. She broke her own

:23:49. > :24:07.world record in the process. It is a world-record Bethany Firth

:24:08. > :24:15.of Great Britain. She will go for gold tonight just after 11 UK time.

:24:16. > :24:17.Here's hoping she doesn't. She is due back in the pool at a roundabout

:24:18. > :24:19.ten past 11 this evening. Firth's final is at around 11.10pm

:24:20. > :24:21.tonight, with Eglinton sprinter Jason Smyth opening the defence

:24:22. > :24:24.of his 100 metres gold The venue is the appropriately named

:24:25. > :24:27.Crooked Stick Carmel Indiana. The goal - to get

:24:28. > :24:29.the ball in the hole. And the omens are good

:24:30. > :24:32.for Rory McIlroy, currently fourth in

:24:33. > :24:33.the Fedex Cup standings. Four years ago, when the BMW

:24:34. > :24:44.Championship was last Every time I stepped on the tee box

:24:45. > :24:49.this morning, it all came back to me so that can only be of benefit. You

:24:50. > :24:54.look at the leaderboard four years ago and Adam was up there, Phil was

:24:55. > :24:57.up there, Dustin was up there. There's a lot of guys that have

:24:58. > :25:04.played this course and played well. I'm in that group and I feel like

:25:05. > :25:11.having experienced on it will definitely help. Graeme McDowell is

:25:12. > :25:13.level par through 11 holes. Finally, Ulster's new star signing

:25:14. > :25:17.Charles Piutau is out of Saturday's Pro12 match away

:25:18. > :25:20.to Treviso due to a thumb Paul Marshall and Craig Gilroy

:25:21. > :25:35.are also out injured. We had some decent spells of bright

:25:36. > :25:40.and sunny weather to this afternoon with the chance of the odd shower.

:25:41. > :25:44.This evening, there are still a couple of moderate showers to make

:25:45. > :25:48.their journey across Northern Ireland. Temperatures are staying in

:25:49. > :25:52.double figures. Quite mild but not as muddy as they have been over

:25:53. > :25:56.recent nights. Don't be fooled by the view out of your window tomorrow

:25:57. > :26:01.morning because while our weather starts off on a decent note, it is

:26:02. > :26:04.going downhill throughout the day which is all going to this area of

:26:05. > :26:10.low pressure and the associated weather front bringing heavy rain

:26:11. > :26:13.and strong winds. We start off on a dry, quite bright note across the

:26:14. > :26:18.east goes but it will not take long for the skies to cloud over and

:26:19. > :26:21.agrees to back up. That rain will work its way in. The breeze will be

:26:22. > :26:26.a real feature as we go through the day. It will pick up to the south

:26:27. > :26:30.and we will see some heavy downpours to throughout the day at that front

:26:31. > :26:33.moves slowly in. We could also see gale force gusts in the north

:26:34. > :26:39.channel close tomorrow afternoon. The good news is that as the front

:26:40. > :26:43.leaves and goes to the east, there is some chance of some late evening

:26:44. > :26:48.brightness across western counties and sets is up for a decent start of

:26:49. > :26:57.the weekend, mostly dry. In the main, they are not coming through to

:26:58. > :26:59.the action in those showers. Temperatures on Saturday are quite

:27:00. > :27:04.respectable for the time of year staying in the mid teens. Good news

:27:05. > :27:09.if you're heading to the BBC Proms in Belfast, it should be staying dry

:27:10. > :27:14.as we go through performance time on Saturday evening. In fact, if you do

:27:15. > :27:17.have any outside jobs plan for the weekend, Saturday is the day to

:27:18. > :27:23.crack on with them because it does look pretty much set fair. Sunday, a

:27:24. > :27:28.bit more to play for. Plenty of whether out in the Atlantic and we

:27:29. > :27:30.will keep a close eye on the detail over the next few days.
