:04:15. > :04:17.medication. When he arrived here who asked not to be allowed to keep
:04:18. > :04:21.those tablets because he feared that he would take them all at once. That

:07:05. > :07:08.she had been waiting 18 years for. Her abuser, Belfast man Thomas
:07:09. > :07:13.Thompson was given a three-year suspended sentence at Antrim Crown
:07:14. > :07:19.Court. Claire Hinton met him in 1998 at a church youth club when she was
:07:20. > :07:22.13 and he was 24 and married. She said what happened to her as a
:07:23. > :07:29.teenager has shaped the rest of her life. I depended on drugs and
:07:30. > :07:34.alcohol quite a lot in my early teenage years. As an adult, it

:07:43. > :07:48.attacks, depression, anxiety, sleepless nights, waking up
:07:49. > :07:56.screaming, so it has affected me right from the age of 13 to the age
:07:57. > :08:01.of 31, now. The legal process has been the most difficult thing I have
:08:02. > :08:07.ever been through. But I also got a result at the end of it. There was a
:08:08. > :08:12.year ago, I even contemplated suicide. Having to deal with this
:08:13. > :08:19.every day, it became just too much for me. Thankfully, I am still here,
:08:20. > :08:25.and I am still fighting, every day. In court, the judge said that Thomas

:08:43. > :08:47.encouraged other victims to speak out and seek help. The stigma around
:08:48. > :08:51.sexual abuse is that nobody talks about it. And because it is not
:08:52. > :08:57.being talked about, perpetrators can get away with it, so I do not for
:08:58. > :09:01.one second regret coming forward, because if it prevents other

:09:19. > :09:19.from Moyraverty Court in Craigavon rang her
:09:20. > :09:32.shortly after he was taken into custody.
:09:33. > :09:40.The body was found in a recycling bin here in July 2000 14. His ribs
:09:41. > :09:44.had been broken, his breastbone fractured, and his brain damaged. A
:09:45. > :09:51.postmortem examination revealed it may have taken 48 hours for him to
:09:52. > :09:56.die. In court today two witnesses gave their account of what they saw
:09:57. > :09:59.and heard over several days at the beginning of July 2000 and 40. The
:10:00. > :10:06.ex-partner of Stephen Hughes and the mother of his son the jury told that

:10:11. > :10:16.he had borrowed a Hoover. During that visit, she said she had noticed
:10:17. > :10:25.blood on his trainers. Three days later, the police arrived at the
:10:26. > :10:29.house of Stephen Hughes and Shauneen Boyle and they were taking into
:10:30. > :10:38.custody. He said that he told her that he was going to jail for a very
:10:39. > :10:42.long time and that he had killed "wee Owen". She said she then told
:10:43. > :10:47.Stephen Hughes he was never going to see his child again. A neighbour of
:10:48. > :10:52.Stephen Hughes in Moyraverty Court was next to give evidence. She
:10:53. > :10:55.described how he and her partner and two Cuban has spent the previous
:10:56. > :11:01.evening with Stephen Hughes and Shauneen Boyle at their house. She
:11:02. > :11:04.recalled that all four adults had been drinking and planning a picnic
:11:05. > :11:08.for the next day. She went on to tell the court she went upstairs to
:11:09. > :11:12.go to the toilet and heard snoring. She looked into an open bedroom and
:11:13. > :11:18.saw Shauneen Boyle on her knees next to a man on a bed. She said it
:11:19. > :11:23.looked like she had a child's medicine syringe in her hand. She
:11:24. > :11:38.described the room as smelling of "to". Stephen Hughes had said that
:11:39. > :11:46.is just wee Owen, a little alcoholic man. It was said that he had drank a
:11:47. > :11:48.bottle of vodka and two bottles of Buckfast and that he was sleeping
:11:49. > :11:51.off his hangover. The trial continues.
:11:52. > :11:53.A 44-year-old man is still in hospital after he was arrested

:12:51. > :12:53.Child abuse survivors say they felt so "belittled" during a recent
:12:54. > :12:55.meeting with the leader of the Catholic church in Ireland
:12:56. > :13:03.that they almost walked out. They told a Stormont committee that
:13:04. > :13:09.Archbishop Eamon Martin had given the impression that he felt
:13:10. > :13:11.the Church was now the victim. They also claimed the Executive Office
:13:12. > :13:14.had let them down by failing to prepare for the establishment
:13:15. > :13:22.Here's our political correspondent, Gareth Gordon.
:13:23. > :13:27.They were abusing church and state run institutions and now they claim
:13:28. > :13:31.the executive is letting them down in their fight for compensation. For
:13:32. > :13:35.three years they have told their stories at the historical abuse
:13:36. > :13:39.inquiry chaired by Sir Anthony Hart. He will report in January and will
:13:40. > :13:44.recommend a financial compensation scheme. A panel of experts set up by
:13:45. > :13:48.the victims themselves has proposed how such a scheme might work, but
:13:49. > :13:52.they claim that for nine months, ministers have refused to meet them
:13:53. > :13:56.to discuss it. This is a very vulnerable group of people and it is
:13:57. > :14:01.very surprising that a junior minister would preach such a
:14:02. > :14:04.vulnerable group in such a way. The Catholic Church will be expected to
:14:05. > :14:10.contribute to any compensation scheme but the victims claim that in
:14:11. > :14:12.a recent meeting with the leader of the Church in Ireland, Archbishop
:14:13. > :14:18.Eamon Martin, his attitude seemed to have changed. The church just
:14:19. > :14:22.literally for Buzz off, and in fact, there was a point when we were going
:14:23. > :14:26.to get up and leave the meeting, because we were more or less told
:14:27. > :14:29.that the church hadn't done what it had done in the 50s and 60s then
:14:30. > :14:34.things could have been a lot worse for us. In other words, we will make
:14:35. > :14:44.this feel so belittled in that meeting. Then I had said, what do
:14:45. > :14:50.you expect us to do, what did you want us to do and I said, well, we
:14:51. > :14:53.did not ask to be abused, sexually, physically, mentally and
:14:54. > :14:57.emotionally. A spokesperson for the Zeca div said that ministers remain
:14:58. > :14:59.sensitive to the views of abuse victims but it would be
:15:00. > :15:03.inappropriate to engage in consultation which would pre-empt
:15:04. > :15:07.the inquiry findings. It added that during the course of the inquiry,
:15:08. > :15:11.ministers had met and continue to meet victims' groups.
:15:12. > :15:13.Older carers are calling on the Assembly to do more
:15:14. > :15:15.to help them plan the future for their children.
:15:16. > :15:18.Many parents continue to look after their children
:15:19. > :15:20.with disabilities, well into their seventies and eighties.
:15:21. > :15:22.But they say the system does little to help them sort out
:15:23. > :15:25.what will happen when they can no longer care for them.
:15:26. > :15:33.I've been to meet Sherol Matthews and her son, William.
:15:34. > :15:39.This is the last school photo taken of William Matthews before his
:15:40. > :15:45.accident. He was just six years old when he was hit by a car. For his
:15:46. > :15:50.mum, Sherol, these pictures are paying for many years later. Life
:15:51. > :15:56.just changed in the second and it was a very long haul after that. He
:15:57. > :16:04.was in hospital for, really, five months. Sherol has been his carer
:16:05. > :16:07.round-the-clock for almost 30 years. After the trauma of his accident
:16:08. > :16:14.there were many adjustments to make to their lives. It was difficult
:16:15. > :16:21.just to register that we have actually lost the William that we
:16:22. > :16:29.had, but we have got the new one in his place with lots of different
:16:30. > :16:39.character, qualities, etc, but we are so thankful that he is still
:16:40. > :16:44.with us. Custard cream? On top of caring, there was another battle to
:16:45. > :16:48.be fought, with social services, to get respite. And it is a fight that
:16:49. > :16:57.Sherol bid to see simplified. It has been easy, but I was just like the
:16:58. > :17:03.power to get on with it, and there has been some support, but it has
:17:04. > :17:07.been sparse. I just live, day to day, and have a good faith that
:17:08. > :17:12.keeps me going and that is really how I have survived. She was among
:17:13. > :17:16.several families at Stormont this week trying to put pressure on
:17:17. > :17:21.Assembly Members to force health trusts to do more to help families
:17:22. > :17:24.who are caring way beyond retirement age. In Northern Ireland we are the
:17:25. > :17:27.only part of the UK that doesn't have the rights of carers enshrined
:17:28. > :17:33.in law, and we're hoping that soon we will change that and we'll get
:17:34. > :17:37.the support of all parties here, to get a carers' bill. Sherol once
:17:38. > :17:42.William to stay in this house, something that in theory, he is
:17:43. > :17:45.legally entitled to do. Whether that happens is something she watched to
:17:46. > :17:49.know sooner rather than later. I am not the only person in this
:17:50. > :17:51.situation and we all feel the same way about it. If you have to beg and
:17:52. > :17:57.battled to get things done. And on tomorrow night's programme
:17:58. > :18:00.we'll hear from the 93 year old woman still caring for her son
:18:01. > :18:02.who has Down's syndrome. A senior civil servant has
:18:03. > :18:05.apologised to a Stormont committee for a lack of oversight in a green
:18:06. > :18:08.energy scheme which has left The Renewable Heat Scheme paid firms
:18:09. > :18:13.to switch to woodchip boilers, but it was overly generous
:18:14. > :18:15.and poorly managed. Our Agriculture and
:18:16. > :18:40.Environment Correspondent He is the spent most of today on the
:18:41. > :18:45.back foot. We don't understand why, as a matter of fact, and it is not
:18:46. > :18:48.acceptable. Andrew McCormick was up before the Public Accounts Committee
:18:49. > :18:52.to answer questions about a fully managed renewables scheme that has
:18:53. > :18:56.left the Northern Ireland taxpayer with a massive bill. A generous
:18:57. > :19:00.subsidy guaranteed for 20 years for companies that switched from oil to
:19:01. > :19:08.wood pellet burners has left the public purse up to ?350 million
:19:09. > :19:11.lighter. We owe an apology to the committee and others for the things
:19:12. > :19:16.that have gone wrong and a lot has gone wrong in this case, some very
:19:17. > :19:18.serious mistakes and failings. The scheme was shut down after
:19:19. > :19:23.whistle-blower allegations of abuse and claims that some companies were
:19:24. > :19:28.running boilies 24-7 just to claim the subsidy. Independent auditors
:19:29. > :19:33.have visited scores of sites and check hundreds of installations. It
:19:34. > :19:37.says that some of them should never have been approved. The committee
:19:38. > :19:44.referred to some of those inspections. He said auditors found
:19:45. > :19:49.what had been described as burners being run all day to dry wood chip
:19:50. > :19:52.that was then fed back into those selfsame burners on an
:19:53. > :19:56.everlastingly. Doctor McCormack agreed that that was not acceptable.
:19:57. > :20:01.He came under pressure from this MLA. He said that he had no
:20:02. > :20:04.confidence that he had grasped the nettle. Try to give us some
:20:05. > :20:08.confidence that you have done something, that we will not get any
:20:09. > :20:12.more nonsense about what we will do in the future. I want to know what
:20:13. > :20:17.we have done now. This was a scheme that was meant to cost 1600 and ?16
:20:18. > :20:26.million. It has now got up to twice that. -- 616 million.
:20:27. > :20:29.A plan to amalgamate three post primary schools in west Belfast
:20:30. > :20:33.It represents a major shake up of the educational
:20:34. > :20:34.fabric of the area, and reflects wider concerns
:20:35. > :20:36.that there are too many schools in Northern Ireland
:20:37. > :20:45.They are three full-year names in the West Belfast educational
:20:46. > :20:50.landscape. Now these nonselective single sex schools could be set to
:20:51. > :20:58.merge, to form one new college catering for 1500 pupils. Currently
:20:59. > :21:03.the school only takes boys in sixth form. What is important to us is
:21:04. > :21:08.that the community in West Belfast is that every proposal in its final
:21:09. > :21:15.stages ends on the minister's desk, and that it is vital that it meets
:21:16. > :21:18.the needs of every single child within that community. The Council
:21:19. > :21:22.for Catholic Maintained Schools is behind the proposal. It says that
:21:23. > :21:27.consulting with school governors, staff and parents. However, concerns
:21:28. > :21:32.have been raised by union officials are only non-grammar schools are
:21:33. > :21:37.involved. We are limiting the possibility for the future estate in
:21:38. > :21:41.West Belfast to nonselective. If you had to grasp the opportunity to look
:21:42. > :21:45.at the entire educational provisional in West Belfast and look
:21:46. > :21:49.at the possibilities of what we could have created rather than
:21:50. > :21:54.simply reacted and said, just take these three, you will come together
:21:55. > :21:58.to form one, single school. It should have been an all-encompassing
:21:59. > :22:02.plan for the entirety of West Belfast. These plans are still set
:22:03. > :22:07.to get an early stage, but they will come into effect by September 2000
:22:08. > :22:11.and 18. They reflect a wider trend across Northern Ireland as planners
:22:12. > :22:15.deal with too many schools and not enough pupils. It may prove
:22:16. > :22:16.difficult to persuade everyone that this is the best solution to that
:22:17. > :22:37.problem. Our arts correspondent Robin
:22:38. > :22:47.Meredith joined the book -- the Ulster Orchestra to find out how
:22:48. > :22:54.they got on. An unusual venue and an early start for a birthday party.
:22:55. > :23:04.And a musical wake-up call for Belfast commuters. I am into punk
:23:05. > :23:08.rock music, so it is unusual to listen to. I could not believe it
:23:09. > :23:12.when I walked in, I just had to stand and watch. So that's the first
:23:13. > :23:17.of 50 performances across the city to celebrate the half-century of the
:23:18. > :23:25.orchestra. So after the busiest bus station in Belfast, were next? On
:23:26. > :23:26.the Falls Road, the music was German but the greeting was, appropriately,
:23:27. > :23:43.in Irish. At lunchtime it was back to the city
:23:44. > :23:56.centre for one of the day's big gigs as the full orchestra came together.
:23:57. > :24:00.Everyone is minding their own business, going to the job and have
:24:01. > :24:05.a little snack and they have the Arkestra in the middle, so it is
:24:06. > :24:09.wonderful. I want to say thank you to people for all of the support
:24:10. > :24:13.they have given to the orchestra for 50 years, and we want to show some
:24:14. > :24:18.inspiration on our 50th anniversary. It seemed crazy and brilliant enough
:24:19. > :24:23.to get out and do 50 concerts and meet as many people as we possibly
:24:24. > :24:28.can. Then it was time to go again, the acute some new members at the
:24:29. > :24:41.Belfast Children's Hospital. -- to recruit some new members.
:24:42. > :24:43.Gavin is here with this evening's sport.
:24:44. > :24:45.Gavin as the countdown to the Ryder Cup continues,
:24:46. > :24:53.Yes, our cameras have been given behind the scenes access
:24:54. > :24:54.at the Hazelteen national course in Minnesota.
:24:55. > :24:57.A short time ago Europe's captain Darren Clarke agreed to take
:24:58. > :25:04.Stephen Watson on a tour of the players team room.
:25:05. > :25:11.What back to the inner sanctum of Team Europe, and everywhere there
:25:12. > :25:14.are the transit details at Darren Clarke has gone into to give his
:25:15. > :25:19.team the best chance to win this Ryder Cup. From the images of some
:25:20. > :25:24.of the great players to inspirational quotes on the wall,
:25:25. > :25:30.one from Darren himself, one unit, one team. And another from Winston
:25:31. > :25:34.Churchill. And then the iconic image on the wall of the giant 's
:25:35. > :25:39.Causeway. Why is it so important to you to have this from Northern
:25:40. > :25:47.Ireland as one of your central pieces? For me it means a lot, to
:25:48. > :25:50.Rory, it means a lot, but for the team, my thoughts for the ethos of
:25:51. > :25:56.the team is shoulder to shoulder, taken from the rugby guys. If we are
:25:57. > :26:01.shoulder to shoulder, we are together, one unit, one team. If one
:26:02. > :26:06.of those rocks falls down then the next beside it will fall down. And
:26:07. > :26:10.that is not going to happen in this team, because these guys are such a
:26:11. > :26:14.close-knit group, they are so tight, and they have really got the whole
:26:15. > :26:20.thought of shoulder to shoulder and one team. I am proud to be from home
:26:21. > :26:27.and this to motivate the European team has been unbelievable. We're
:26:28. > :26:29.going now inside the locker room... Everything seems to be just
:26:30. > :26:37.completely and utterly thought through down to the finest detail
:26:38. > :26:45.down to the nameplates with the Giants on them. Yes, just,
:26:46. > :26:53.everything is all mixed up for everybody. It is all up there, one
:26:54. > :27:01.unit, one team. My locker is down at the very end. Thankfully, I don't
:27:02. > :27:07.need my clubs this week. That is a good thing, because I would not be
:27:08. > :27:17.helping if I had my clubs! This is a collage of different iconic scenes.
:27:18. > :27:20.And a little bit further behind you, the physios have their areas where
:27:21. > :27:26.they treat the guys after they come off the course, they have got ice
:27:27. > :27:31.packs, the bike is up there, these guys are the pinnacle of our sport,
:27:32. > :27:35.and it is my job to look after them with the respect that they deserve,
:27:36. > :27:40.and they deserve to have whatever they want this week. And if that, in
:27:41. > :27:44.some small way, helps them perform, that is what I am trying to do.
:27:45. > :27:47.sacked as manager of Newport County. international Warren Feeney has been
:27:48. > :27:50.The Welsh side are currently bottom of League Two
:27:51. > :27:54.is the new manager of Glentoran. boss Gary Haveron
:27:55. > :27:58.His first game in charge will be at home to Linfield this Saturday.
:27:59. > :28:09.And now the weather forecast with Geoff.
:28:10. > :28:16.Dick drying day today. Temperatures in the low 20s. Going into this
:28:17. > :28:25.evening and overnight tonight, that Breeze is -- it has been a perfect
:28:26. > :28:30.drying day-to-day. The temperatures the Mike down to lows of 10 degrees.
:28:31. > :28:34.The real story of the weather tonight is the breeze. By the time
:28:35. > :28:39.you get to dawn tomorrow morning we could see 60 miles an hour gusts
:28:40. > :28:43.along the north coast. That is being driven by this area of low pressure.
:28:44. > :28:48.These isobars are packed tightly together. That westerly breeze will
:28:49. > :28:53.be whipping in during the day, driving those showers home. There is
:28:54. > :28:57.some good news. Some of those showers could be quite heavy, but
:28:58. > :29:01.there will be decent spells of bright weather to go with it. But
:29:02. > :29:11.keep an eye on those temperatures, 14, 15, were today, we saw highs of
:29:12. > :29:13.22. The breeze will still take the edge off the temperatures. At least
:29:14. > :29:18.there will be some brightness to look at. Overnight, a cooler day,
:29:19. > :29:24.and an even cooler night with temperatures down to single figures.
:29:25. > :29:29.And as we head into Friday, we continue that theme of getting
:29:30. > :29:33.gradually cooler. Again, showers will continue. There will be some
:29:34. > :29:37.brightness but a little more crowd around as we go through the day.
:29:38. > :29:42.That is going to hold temperatures back a bit. A reason for some
:29:43. > :29:46.optimism at the weekend with this ridge of high pressure, before
:29:47. > :29:50.things go downhill. We start Saturday with some light and patchy
:29:51. > :29:57.rain, but it will fizzle out on Saturday afternoon. Sunday is set up
:29:58. > :30:02.to be quite a nice day. Temperatures of 13, 14 Celsius, before it goes
:30:03. > :30:07.downhill. Make the most of the next few days. I will be back with our
:30:08. > :30:09.late news. See you then. Have a good evening. Goodbye.
