:01:47. > :01:52.Our Health Correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly
:01:53. > :02:04.Doctor Caroline Gannon's job involves investigating the deaths of
:02:05. > :02:09.babies. She can also carry out postmortem examinations after an
:02:10. > :02:16.abortion. However, abortion on the grounds of fatal people abnormality
:02:17. > :02:20.remains illegal here, she says some couples travelled to England for
:02:21. > :02:33.termination after a diagnosis can face problems bringing remains home
:02:34. > :02:37.for a post-modern. -- postmortem. If this has happened in Northern
:02:38. > :02:44.Ireland, there would be hospital processes in place, where someone
:02:45. > :02:47.else would be able to bring the body to the more tree to ensure the
:02:48. > :02:51.postmortem was carried out. But they were on their own, they had to
:02:52. > :02:56.transport their own baby's body back in a picnic cooler in the boot of
:02:57. > :03:01.the car on a ferry overnight. I think it is disgraceful. I can't see
:03:02. > :03:04.how that is compassionate care. Doctor Gannon says she feels the
:03:05. > :03:09.role of the pathologist is under greater scrutiny because of legal
:03:10. > :03:25.adventures by the eternal Attorney General. What were these?
:03:26. > :03:35.Earlier this year, he wrote to the TUV's Jim Allister...
:03:36. > :03:44.I think he was the tipping point, the Attorney General, has made my
:03:45. > :03:48.professional life here are untenable and I do not consider that I can
:03:49. > :03:52.work under those guidelines and rulings any longer. In a statement
:03:53. > :04:16.to the BBC the Attorney General said he added there is no clinical
:04:17. > :04:24.definition of the term fatal faecal abnormality. They should never have
:04:25. > :04:27.been placed in a position where they had to use the call about to
:04:28. > :04:36.transport the remains of their baby back home, she says. Imagine, we
:04:37. > :04:43.were talking about places to buy a cooler from. It was hurtful and
:04:44. > :04:50.upsetting. The father of the young woman who had the abortion broke his
:04:51. > :04:56.silence. I see nothing wrong at all with what we did. It is the most
:04:57. > :05:03.humane thing one could do for one's daughter to try and end the type of
:05:04. > :05:14.pain she is suffering. We pray everyday she will have the child she
:05:15. > :05:19.longs for. There was no alternative. The BBC understands other couples
:05:20. > :05:21.have used various modes of transport including a parcel courier company
:05:22. > :05:26.to carry the remains of their baby home.
:05:27. > :05:28.And there's been a lot of political reaction to this
:05:29. > :05:35.Yes, the Health Minister Michelle O'Neill said she thought the issue
:05:36. > :05:38.of abortion and fatal foetal abnormality was one which does
:05:39. > :05:44.She said the joint working group which has been set up to look
:05:45. > :05:49.specifically at the issue has met and she hopes that within the next
:05:50. > :05:52.couple of weeks they will have a report which can be put
:05:53. > :05:58.to the executive setting out the way forward.
:05:59. > :06:03.This was echoed by the Justice Minister Claire Sudgen.
:06:04. > :06:10.I think we need to see what comes out of the working group. We need to
:06:11. > :06:16.take an informed perspective on this and this is what hopefully will will
:06:17. > :06:20.get at the end of September. It is a serious situation when someone who
:06:21. > :06:25.is part of a professional aspect of the situation is telling us that in
:06:26. > :06:31.spite of all of those who are saying there are certainly out there for
:06:32. > :06:33.consultants and medical professionals, quite clear as a
:06:34. > :06:35.result of this resignation that there is no certainty.
:06:36. > :06:38.And we also need to talk about another health story.
:06:39. > :06:40.Up to five people in Northern Ireland have been
:06:41. > :06:44.How concerned should people be about this news?
:06:45. > :06:50.When people hear this, at first they will be concerned, perhaps even a
:06:51. > :06:56.little shocked. But let's put it in context. Since the outbreak of Zika
:06:57. > :07:01.last year, there have been around 120 cases confirmed right across the
:07:02. > :07:05.UK and that number is expected to rise as people return back from the
:07:06. > :07:10.likes of Rio, where we have the Olympics, and also after people had
:07:11. > :07:13.been holidaying in Florida and other country that had been affected.
:07:14. > :07:18.People who have been diagnosed as having the virus, it is not because
:07:19. > :07:21.we have the deadly mosquito flying around in Northern Ireland. Those
:07:22. > :07:24.people who have been diagnosed, it is because they have been travelling
:07:25. > :07:28.abroad. I think what was more shocking was the way in which I
:07:29. > :07:31.found out about it arriving in Northern Ireland, the tip-off from a
:07:32. > :07:36.medical source who felt the public had a right to know it was here. I
:07:37. > :07:40.then contacted the public-health agency and as far as they are
:07:41. > :07:42.prepared to go, the airline is fewer than five people have been treated
:07:43. > :07:54.for the disease. Let's look at this in terms. Sore
:07:55. > :07:58.throat, sore eyes, headache, joint pain, but it can be treated with
:07:59. > :08:05.antibiotics and advisers to rest and plenty of fluids. It is usually a
:08:06. > :08:10.mild form, most people do recover and recover well but as we know, it
:08:11. > :08:15.is particularly dangerous for babies in the womb so those people who have
:08:16. > :08:19.travelled to affected countries who are showing some symptoms and who
:08:20. > :08:21.are concerned, get themselves along to the GP.
:08:22. > :08:23.Prison officers at Maghaberry have been criticised for not intervening
:08:24. > :08:28.as they watched a young mentally-ill prisoner blind himself in his cell.
:08:29. > :08:31.The family of Sean Lynch tonight spoke of their devastation
:08:32. > :08:36.An investigation by the Prisoner Ombudsman recommnded 63 changes
:08:37. > :08:38.to ensure a similar incident never happens again.
:08:39. > :08:55.Sean Lynch was a promising young footballer but his career was ruined
:08:56. > :09:01.by drug and alcohol abuse. He has now blind after self harming in
:09:02. > :09:08.Maghaberry jail. He was on remand prisoner for the -- awaiting
:09:09. > :09:12.charges. On the night he blinded himself, several prison officers
:09:13. > :09:15.were checking on him but didn't take any immediate action. The family of
:09:16. > :09:22.Sean Lynch sene has paid the price for the failings of others. It is
:09:23. > :09:27.heart-wrenching to think these people could watch Sean for that
:09:28. > :09:32.length of time and let him do that to himself and not intervene. He
:09:33. > :09:37.cried for help, they watched him, they went to the door, they looked
:09:38. > :09:43.through it and not one of them thought to go in and help him. We're
:09:44. > :09:49.talking about a young 23 old. Today's report by the prison
:09:50. > :09:53.ombudsman criticises the prison office for not intervening sooner.
:09:54. > :09:55.The reports says "It seems remarkable that several
:09:56. > :09:58.it was neither necessary nor appropriate to enter his cell
:09:59. > :10:00.to prevent Mr Lynch from self-harming further."
:10:01. > :10:05.The report says they didn't not realise the seriousness
:10:06. > :10:15.And they feared he would attack them and take the prison keys off them.
:10:16. > :10:17.He had attacked a prison officer two days previously.
:10:18. > :10:19.But the Prisoner Ombudsman wasn't convinced.
:10:20. > :10:22.He said the officers' "duty of care was trumped by security concerns
:10:23. > :10:30.that appear to have had little basis in reality."
:10:31. > :10:36.The report lists a series of changes that are needed.
:10:37. > :10:41.And he outlined 63 recommendations for improvement.
:10:42. > :10:47.He is never going to see his niece and nephew again. It has been tee
:10:48. > :10:52.years since they'd seen him and they've grown up so much. Every time
:10:53. > :10:58.I look at him, my heart breaks. It really does break. And that is so
:10:59. > :11:02.sad. The family say that lessons must be learned from this case. The
:11:03. > :11:08.justice minister says she is ready to take action. I think we have to
:11:09. > :11:11.do it as soon as possible and we have to have a genuine discussion
:11:12. > :11:14.about what needs to happen and what the realities are. We have a
:11:15. > :11:20.situation where a young man is now blind. The family of 25-year-old
:11:21. > :11:21.Sean Lynch say his life will never be the same again and for that they
:11:22. > :11:27.claim the prison service. -- blame. Well, earlier I spoke
:11:28. > :11:29.to Sue McAllister, the out-going Director General
:11:30. > :11:31.of the Northern Ireland Prison Service and I asked her what more
:11:32. > :11:40.should have been done to help Sean Our staff are required to exercise
:11:41. > :11:45.judgment every hour of every day and one thing that we require them to do
:11:46. > :11:49.is balance security, good order, control and care. The public expect
:11:50. > :11:54.us quite reasonably to run secure it presents. They expect us to run
:11:55. > :11:58.prisons where people behave decently towards one another, they expect our
:11:59. > :12:02.staff to care for individuals whose behaviour and needs are very complex
:12:03. > :12:08.and challenging. None of us were there on that day, on that landing
:12:09. > :12:13.at the end of a period of days in which Sean Lynch had behaved
:12:14. > :12:16.violently and threatened staff, demonstrated an intention to run out
:12:17. > :12:21.of his cell and passed the staff. What I would say is that our staff
:12:22. > :12:25.exercise their judgment at that time on that day and it is easy for us
:12:26. > :12:28.with the benefit of hindsight to say what they could have a should have
:12:29. > :12:35.done was different to what we would have done. That they found those
:12:36. > :12:40.security concerns had little basis in reality and his condition was
:12:41. > :12:46.beyond what officers could deal with. Why was that not flagged up?
:12:47. > :12:49.That is absolutely not something for me to comment on, whether someone
:12:50. > :12:56.should be your not in prison is not a matter for me. Pity not the
:12:57. > :12:59.perfect example of somebody, I mentally ill prisoners who should
:13:00. > :13:03.not be in prison and at the very least is the only thing at your
:13:04. > :13:06.disposal there is the hospital prison, why was he not in the
:13:07. > :13:11.hospital prison? It didn't come out of the blue, he was behaving
:13:12. > :13:18.erratically. Old days, been self harming. Old days, why was he not in
:13:19. > :13:25.the hospital in the prison? You mention two things, should he have
:13:26. > :13:31.been in prison are not? That is the matter -- that is not a matter for
:13:32. > :13:36.me. But you are the chief executive, your institutional responsibility is
:13:37. > :13:39.to keep people safe. If you are the parent, wife or mother of this young
:13:40. > :13:44.man would you have not wanted the prison service to keep him safe and
:13:45. > :13:48.prevent this happening to him? We have no control over who comes to
:13:49. > :13:53.our gates, I've made that clear already. You mention the prison
:13:54. > :13:56.hospital. There are no prison hospitals nowadays, health care and
:13:57. > :14:02.prisoners provided by the Southeastern health and social care
:14:03. > :14:05.trust and their ability to provide inpatient care inside prisons does
:14:06. > :14:11.not exist. They do not have the resources to do that. They actually
:14:12. > :14:15.give prisoners as patients the equivalent level of health care they
:14:16. > :14:19.would receive in the community. Sean Lynch was taken to outside hospital
:14:20. > :14:23.on a number of occasions in the days leading up to these incidents of
:14:24. > :14:27.self harm. The Sega should have been in the prison hospital, simply isn't
:14:28. > :14:33.possible. -- to say he should have been. As director general of the
:14:34. > :14:36.prison service, should you be saying we should have that facility,
:14:37. > :14:41.instead of having suicides and serious self harm as in this case,
:14:42. > :14:44.we should have another system. Is that not something you should be
:14:45. > :14:51.saying just as you finish in your post? We are a public service and
:14:52. > :14:55.funded by taxpayers money. It is absolutely self-evident if we were
:14:56. > :14:58.to provide an alternative facility for people with mental health
:14:59. > :15:02.issues, and it isn't for me to comment on whether that would all be
:15:03. > :15:06.desirable or not, that would have to be funded from the public purse. We
:15:07. > :15:11.would have to make a decision as to what else we didn't do to allow that
:15:12. > :15:14.to happen. I know our new justice Minister Clare Sugden has a real
:15:15. > :15:19.interest in mental health and is talking with just as colleagues now
:15:20. > :15:21.about what that looks like for the coming years, but it isn't for me to
:15:22. > :15:24.comment. The Irish government says it intends
:15:25. > :15:26.to set up an inquiry into the controversial sale
:15:27. > :15:29.of the bad bank, Nama's Northern Ireland portfolio,
:15:30. > :15:30.known as Project Eagle. This follows a report this afternoon
:15:31. > :15:33.that suggests the Republic's tax-payer could have lost hundreds
:15:34. > :15:37.of millions of euro in the deal. There have also been a series
:15:38. > :15:40.of allegations about impropriety Our Dublin reporter

:16:01. > :16:06.property portfolio was once worth about ?4.5 billion and was sold
:16:07. > :16:13.about two years ago for just over ?1 billion. There have been allegations

:16:18. > :16:21.gain and also suggestions of payments to an offshore bank
:16:22. > :16:24.account. Those matters are being investigated by the National Crime

:17:05. > :17:08.eventual sale. This evening, Nama has categorically rejected those
:17:09. > :17:11.findings and has said the report is fundamentally unsound and unstable
:17:12. > :17:17.and cannot be left to go unchallenged. What form will the

:23:06. > :23:07.On last night's BBC Newsline we promised you'd hear
:23:08. > :23:15.from Royal Marine and Dungannon paralympian Terry Eaglesham.
:23:16. > :23:17.from Royal Marine and Dungannon paralympian Phillip Eaglesham.
:23:18. > :23:21.It's one of those stories, Tara, which gives us
:23:22. > :23:24.Wheechair bound with an incurable disease,
:23:25. > :23:27.Q Fever, which he contracted while on duty in Afghanistan six
:23:28. > :23:29.years ago, Phillip Eaglesham thought he might not be around
:23:30. > :23:39.But he made it with his wife Julie and sons Travis, Tyler and Mason.
:23:40. > :23:41.As Nigel Ringland reports - that he missed out on a medal
:23:42. > :23:50.Sometimes sport isn't about winning medals, it is about inspiration,
:23:51. > :23:55.dedication, overcoming the unthinkable. Even then, it doesn't
:23:56. > :24:00.always have a happy ending. As Phillip Eaglesham finished 30th in
:24:01. > :24:02.the ten metre air rifle qualification in Rio, it wasn't the
:24:03. > :24:09.result he wanted, but behind him cheer him cheering him on worth his
:24:10. > :24:17.family. Afterwards, they were all smiles as they congratulated dad.
:24:18. > :24:21.Happy I got here. First international last October. It's not
:24:22. > :24:25.even been a year. Just to be here, it was great. But disappointed at
:24:26. > :24:30.the same time. I know I can hit those scores but perhaps it was too
:24:31. > :24:36.much pressure. We are here, I'm apparent in the, I can't be upset.
:24:37. > :24:40.The truth is, Q Fever is incurable, the any prognosis is deterioration
:24:41. > :24:44.that from the darkest places, he has found strength through sport. He
:24:45. > :24:47.wanted to show his boys that when life gets tough, they can turn
:24:48. > :24:55.around, see what happened to him and that he eventually found his way to
:24:56. > :24:56.the greatest show on earth. And he says he is determined to make it to
:24:57. > :24:57.Tokyo. Between them, nine, ten and 11
:24:58. > :25:00.helped hit Celtic for seven The 7-0 result was Barcelona's
:25:01. > :25:03.biggest win in Europe Among those central to humbling
:25:04. > :25:08.the Scottish champions, Brendan Rodgers' former player Luis
:25:09. > :25:19.Suarez. His movement will always make it
:25:20. > :25:26.difficult. He runs to score goals, make forward runs. He plays on the
:25:27. > :25:31.shoulder, his combinations with the other two attacking players. You try
:25:32. > :25:35.to seek your lines tight and block spaces but players of that quality,
:25:36. > :25:42.that speed, they move as fast as that, they get high-level top
:25:43. > :25:43.players. Big confidence, big belief, and that is where they are where
:25:44. > :25:45.they are. Messi also chipped in
:25:46. > :25:47.with a hattrick last night but for all his,
:25:48. > :25:50.Neymar and Suaraez's brilliance - Joel Cooper's goal at the Oval last
:25:51. > :25:54.night arguably upstaged all of them. This mesmering effort
:25:55. > :25:57.from the Glenavon man was the pick of the goals in their 2-2 league
:25:58. > :26:03.draw with Glentoran - Cooper's wonder strike,
:26:04. > :26:05.which has had almost 50,000 hits on our Facebook site
:26:06. > :26:08.and counting, had it all - the Johnann Cryuff turn
:26:09. > :26:10.with the left foot and then the poise and precision
:26:11. > :26:13.of Eric Cantona to chip the hapless You can see all the goals on our
:26:14. > :26:27.website. Finally, back to the Paralympics -
:26:28. > :26:30.Bethany Firth will go for a third gold medal in the pool
:26:31. > :26:32.tonight in Rio. She won her heat today to qualify
:26:33. > :26:43.for the 100m breaststroke final. Fingers crossed. Let's get the
:26:44. > :26:48.weather now. It was like sum up all day. It's been a fantastic day
:26:49. > :26:53.today, glorious temperatures. Over the water, they saw highs of 30
:26:54. > :26:57.degrees. We didn't quite reach that here but we certainly benefiting
:26:58. > :27:01.from that lovely warm air over the water. It means as we head into this
:27:02. > :27:05.evening, it is really rather pleasant. This is the picture at the
:27:06. > :27:09.moment, dry and bright for most, temperatures in the high teens,
:27:10. > :27:14.perfect night for getting out and mowing the lawn or having a brother
:27:15. > :27:22.cute if that is your preference. -- having a barbecue. This sets us up
:27:23. > :27:26.for a rather different day tomorrow, a good deal more cloud around and
:27:27. > :27:30.while temperatures pretty similar to today, it will be a rather different
:27:31. > :27:35.feel to the day. That cloud sits over us like a blanket through the
:27:36. > :27:39.day, the front working slowly and from west to east. I don't think the
:27:40. > :27:44.rain that it brings will amount to much but it will add to that dull,
:27:45. > :27:45.grey, damp field to the weather. With temperatures between mid teens
:27:46. > :28:01.and low 20s, quite ugly feel. -- muggy. What is really happening
:28:02. > :28:05.as we have these two fronts squeezing the cloud over Northern
:28:06. > :28:08.Ireland through the day tomorrow. Once it clears, there is some cooler
:28:09. > :28:12.and fresher conditions and a ridge of high pressure building in.
:28:13. > :28:19.Promising something a bit more subtle. Friday is setup to be a
:28:20. > :28:23.decent day. A few showers around through the day but it will be nice
:28:24. > :28:28.and bright. You will notice temperatures down by about five or 6
:28:29. > :28:32.degrees on what we have been used to through today and tomorrow. We hold
:28:33. > :28:37.onto those pretty respectable temperatures as we head into the
:28:38. > :28:42.weekend. Highs cost 16 Celsius but a bit more in the way of cloud through
:28:43. > :28:45.the first half of the weekend. I'm afraid I can't promise you the
:28:46. > :28:49.glorious 30 degrees temperatures that they have seen in south-east
:28:50. > :28:53.England, but for Northern Ireland in the middle of September, I don't
:28:54. > :28:56.think that is looking to bad. We will take it! Thank you!
