:00:26. > :00:28.Theresa May talks about border controls - but has
:00:29. > :00:34.A shock finding - how older people are being taken advantage
:00:35. > :00:44.They prey on mature people all the time.
:00:45. > :00:49.The moment a woman runs with a child through a railway crossing

:01:09. > :01:14.of it, but the United States dominate the morning foursomes.
:01:15. > :01:19.At least the weather is going better than the cold, dry and bright across
:01:20. > :01:22.the weekend, it's a little on the cold side.
:01:23. > :01:24.A Romanian gangmaster, known to the people he exploited
:01:25. > :01:36.as The Minister, will find out next week if he's going to jail.
:01:37. > :01:40.Craigavon Crown Court heard the Romanian National kept his victims
:01:41. > :01:47.in appalling conditions and a house in Portadown.
:01:48. > :01:52.Ioan Lacatus arrived in Northern Ireland seven years ago, with a
:01:53. > :02:01.string of convictions totted up in France and Italy. He ran this
:02:02. > :02:06.carwash business. When he set himself up as a gangmaster and began
:02:07. > :02:10.trafficking people into the UK the problems really began. He squeezed
:02:11. > :02:15.15 remaining workers enter this three-bed in Portadown. Conditions
:02:16. > :02:22.were appalling. They shared one shower and one toilets, most of
:02:23. > :02:27.their wages went into bank accounts set up by Lacatus and his wife. They
:02:28. > :02:30.were told not to speak to other workers in the towns and factories
:02:31. > :02:35.where they were employed. They weren't allowed to go to shops. Most
:02:36. > :02:40.of the many and came from a remote part of the country, close to the
:02:41. > :02:43.Hungarian border. Eventually, four of them got up the courage to run
:02:44. > :02:49.away from the house and presented themselves at Portadown police
:02:50. > :02:58.station. An investigation saw a further 11 people rescued. Lacatus
:02:59. > :03:02.was arrested, along with his wife. They face charges of human
:03:03. > :03:03.trafficking and are due to sentenced today. Sentencing was however
:03:04. > :03:07.deferred and will occur next week. The Prime Minister Theresa May
:03:08. > :03:09.appears to have rowed back on what she said before the EU
:03:10. > :03:11.referendum about border During a visit to Bangor in June,
:03:12. > :03:17.she said a Leave vote would end Now, in her first interview
:03:18. > :03:23.about Northern Ireland as Prime Minister, she says
:03:24. > :03:26.she wants to see no return Mrs May has been speaking
:03:27. > :03:31.to our political correspondent,
:03:32. > :03:43.Stephen Walker. Back in June, as Home Secretary,
:03:44. > :03:48.Theresa May was campaigning for the UK to stay in the European Union. On
:03:49. > :03:51.a visit to bang, she said it was inconceivable to suggest that Brexit
:03:52. > :03:59.wouldn't have an impact on the border. If you think about it, if
:04:00. > :04:02.we're out of the European Union with tariffs on exporting goods into the
:04:03. > :04:06.EU, they would have to be something to recognise that between Northern
:04:07. > :04:10.Ireland and the Republic. And if you pulled out of the EU and came out of
:04:11. > :04:13.free movements, and how could you have a situation where there was an
:04:14. > :04:18.open border with a country that was in the EU and had access to free
:04:19. > :04:22.movements? Sinan Theresa manias in the hot seat in Downing Street, have
:04:23. > :04:31.things changed? -- so now Theresa May is. What we are very clear about
:04:32. > :04:34.is with the situation in Northern Ireland is that we don't want to see
:04:35. > :04:40.a return to the borders of the past. We will work closely together to
:04:41. > :04:43.make sure that we can... May I remind you, you campaign to Northern
:04:44. > :04:49.Ireland to Remain. He said a Leave vote would cause a return to border
:04:50. > :04:56.controls. Have you changed your mind? I don't think I use those
:04:57. > :04:59.words. What it said was if we vote Leave, and there was a land border
:05:00. > :05:02.with the country in the European Union, that rings a change that
:05:03. > :05:08.relationship to the country across the other. I think inconceivable is
:05:09. > :05:13.the words you used. There would have to be some kind of change? Of
:05:14. > :05:17.course, there will be a land border with a country still in the European
:05:18. > :05:22.Union. But what all parties are very clear about is the intent and will
:05:23. > :05:27.to ensure we have an arrangement that isn't a return to the borders
:05:28. > :05:35.of the past. Howdy police that? Where discussing with the Irish
:05:36. > :05:42.Government at the moment to ensure we have measures that thief the
:05:43. > :05:46.intentions of all parties. One of Theresa May's first actions of Prime
:05:47. > :05:53.Minister was a visit to Belfast, and she pledges to make sure we remain
:05:54. > :05:59.in discussions on Brexit. We need to grasp the opportunities around the
:06:00. > :06:02.world. The bold administrations will all be - devolved administrations
:06:03. > :06:07.will be fully engaged in the discussions we have. The United
:06:08. > :06:12.Kingdom will be negotiating with the European Union. What I want to
:06:13. > :06:15.ensure is that we hear the voices of all parts of the United Kingdom when
:06:16. > :06:21.we're preparing for those negotiations. Exit has changed the
:06:22. > :06:24.political landscape since the referendum, and will dominate the
:06:25. > :06:27.Conservative Party conference, which begins this weekend.
:06:28. > :06:29.And later in the programme - new economic figures
:06:30. > :06:32.on the effect of Brexit, and we catch up with some
:06:33. > :06:34.of the people we spoke to before the vote to see
:06:35. > :06:42.A study has revealed a shocking figure of one in five older people
:06:43. > :06:50.Many reported being robbed by relatives or friends.
:06:51. > :06:53.Some said family members had stopped them spending their money
:06:54. > :06:57.The study was carried out by the Commissioner
:06:58. > :07:07.for Older People, as BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson reports.
:07:08. > :07:14.Jim Flynn is 77-year surveyed. What money he has, he wants to keep. But
:07:15. > :07:19.he knows are some people out there who would like to take it off him.
:07:20. > :07:29.They prey on mature people all the time. And I do watch Rip-off
:07:30. > :07:34.Britain, etc, I know you just have to be careful. A report out today
:07:35. > :07:38.says one in five elderly people has been ripped off in Northern Ireland
:07:39. > :07:43.in the past year. It happens in various different ways. Sometimes
:07:44. > :07:48.elderly people are conned into selling something they can't afford
:07:49. > :07:52.to lose, or buying something they don't really need. And often, what
:07:53. > :07:57.compounds the problem, is the person taking advantage of them is someone
:07:58. > :08:02.they know. It could be pressure from a family relative to change a will,
:08:03. > :08:06.or stranger danger - the cold caller from a bogus charity. So how
:08:07. > :08:14.concerned are people? Are you worried about this? Not in the
:08:15. > :08:19.least. Why not? Because I wouldn't get taken in with that. I don't have
:08:20. > :08:26.much money so they wouldn't take that much. I'm not worried at all!
:08:27. > :08:31.I'm worried about not having money, more like it! But what about those
:08:32. > :08:38.who are concerned, what should they do? Bit of speak out, reported, if
:08:39. > :08:41.you have any concerns, speak to somebody and report your concerns.
:08:42. > :08:45.That advice goes for people of all ages.
:08:46. > :08:54.Still to come on the programme: Sticking together - but we find out
:08:55. > :08:56.why governments money for shared education isn't being spent.
:08:57. > :08:58.Video has been released of a frightening incident
:08:59. > :09:02.when a woman and a child ran under a railway barrier as it was closing,
:09:03. > :09:07.the Dublin Enterprise train passed through.
:09:08. > :09:09.It happened in Lurgan, and it's prompted the police
:09:10. > :09:12.to issue another warning about the dangers of taking risks
:09:13. > :09:29.The barriers stop the traffic, but not the woman with the child. The
:09:30. > :09:35.Enterprise train is due. I thought it was extremely dangerous. Any
:09:36. > :09:40.parent or guardian to expose a young child to that was reckless, and we
:09:41. > :09:43.are investigating that. The message is that people are still taking
:09:44. > :09:50.risks at these level crossings on a regular basis. The Enterprise train
:09:51. > :09:54.travels at speeds of up to 90 mph. This latest incident comes after
:09:55. > :09:59.Translink released footage of pedestrians and a tunnel at downhill
:10:00. > :10:04.beach. The train in that case had to stop, which took 17 seconds. The
:10:05. > :10:07.police are hoping to speak to the woman in Logan. Translink has want
:10:08. > :10:11.anyone taking a chance like this could be killed.
:10:12. > :10:13.Church leaders have appealed to a nationalist residents' group
:10:14. > :10:15.in North Belfast to call off tonight's protest against
:10:16. > :10:26.The Greater Ardoyne Residents Collective, known as Garc, opposes
:10:27. > :10:28.an agreement aimed at resolving the Twadell Avenue dispute.
:10:29. > :10:32.The protest is due to start in next 20 minutes, and our reporter
:10:33. > :10:42.Hopes are high that a resolution has been found to the long-running
:10:43. > :10:48.dispute in this area. But not everyone has signed up to the
:10:49. > :10:51.agreement. This evening, the Greater Ardoyne Residents Collective will
:10:52. > :10:56.hold the first of two protest this weekend. It will be the largest of
:10:57. > :11:02.the two protests, with around 300 people taking part. It will go ahead
:11:03. > :11:06.despite calls from a lease, politicians and local
:11:07. > :11:10.representatives to call it off. The police have placed some restrictions
:11:11. > :11:13.on the protest - they will not be able to leave the Ardoyne area, and
:11:14. > :11:17.it will be stopped and comes out onto the main road. It's not the
:11:18. > :11:24.only thing taking place here this evening. M'Vila will attempt with
:11:25. > :11:33.El-Abd new, -- if we look down towards Waddle Avenue, ... The hope
:11:34. > :11:37.will be that after tomorrow the policing operation will no longer be
:11:38. > :11:41.needed. For this evening, a policing operation is beginning to swing into
:11:42. > :11:46.place with around 400 officers on the ground here this evening. 600
:11:47. > :11:50.will be here tomorrow warning as the Orange parade passes through this
:11:51. > :11:57.area. Hopes are that both the parades and protests will all be
:11:58. > :11:58.peaceful. For an hour late news at 10:30pm.
:11:59. > :12:01.About 60% of schools who are eligible for a ?25 million
:12:02. > :12:03.shared education scheme have not taken it up so far.
:12:04. > :12:06.The scheme has been run by the Department for Education
:12:07. > :12:10.The figures are revealed as the newest integrated school
:12:11. > :12:16.From there, our education correspondent
:12:17. > :12:28.It's an old school, but for this primary near Newtownards it's a new
:12:29. > :12:33.beginning. Parents made the decision to change to integrated, and
:12:34. > :12:37.eventually aims to draw up to 30% of pupils from the minority Catholic
:12:38. > :12:44.community in the area. We welcome all types and all religions and no
:12:45. > :12:52.religion as such. And that's the idea, it's and open ethos. It's an
:12:53. > :12:58.historic day here. Since the first integrated school opened 35 years
:12:59. > :13:04.ago, growth has slowed. This is the 65th, and many pupils go to one.
:13:05. > :13:10.Pupils can take part in shared education, known as when pupils go
:13:11. > :13:13.to separate schools depending on the background, it can come together for
:13:14. > :13:18.lessons or activities. But that too has had its problems. The business
:13:19. > :13:24.case for the shared education signature project identified 762
:13:25. > :13:30.schools eligible for funding. After two years, only 314 have signed up.
:13:31. > :13:37.The scheme has now been is extended to 2019. But the minister here says
:13:38. > :13:45.it's still on track. That was the pool of eligibility. The target for
:13:46. > :13:55.the business case was the daughter with 80 months ago, we are at 90% of
:13:56. > :14:00.the way there. The teaching union says schools give teachers too much
:14:01. > :14:05.work. The teachers are saying it's not worth the effort. Teachers
:14:06. > :14:09.across the union to support shared education and a special support
:14:10. > :14:17.integrated education, but the system does not do work as designed. There
:14:18. > :14:18.are still debate on how we teach children like these together.
:14:19. > :14:21.This Sunday marks 100 days since the UK voted
:14:22. > :14:28.The result brought down a Prime Minister and sent shock waves
:14:29. > :14:32.Now that the dust has settled, our reporter Catherine Morrison has
:14:33. > :14:44.been finding out how local voters feel about Brexit, 100 days on.
:14:45. > :14:50.The British people are spoken, and the answer is we're out. It was a
:14:51. > :14:52.once in a generation vote, the results putting the coal trade.
:14:53. > :14:58.There were dire predictions about the economy, and here concerns about
:14:59. > :15:01.what would happen to the border with the Republic. But the Prime Minister
:15:02. > :15:11.has been clear about the way ahead. Brexit means Brexit. League voter
:15:12. > :15:14.and retired engineer agrees... If I voted again I would vote the same
:15:15. > :15:25.way, because we have nothing came with Europe. Things should get
:15:26. > :15:35.Rosie. Not everyone is so sure. This businesswoman, originally from
:15:36. > :15:40.Poland, voted to Remain. What is going to happen with families who
:15:41. > :15:45.came here only two years ago? We spoke to these tourism students who
:15:46. > :15:51.are applying to vote Remain. How do they feel no? I was quite shocked at
:15:52. > :15:54.the time, but I'm sure that as a country in a nation we will work
:15:55. > :16:03.around it. I'm concerned about what will happen now, we might need visas
:16:04. > :16:11.to travel abroad. This businessman told us he wanted to lead the
:16:12. > :16:14.European Union. There's no reason why to leave, I think my business
:16:15. > :16:22.would benefit from being part of the EU. Has his views changed?
:16:23. > :16:29.Absolutely not. I'm absolutely convinced this is the way forward
:16:30. > :16:33.for the UK. The Brexit process will begin in earnest once Article 50 is
:16:34. > :16:34.triggered by the Prime Minister. We'll be talking about Brexit for
:16:35. > :16:38.many years to talk the we're come. Before the referendum, the then
:16:39. > :16:40.Chancellor George Osborne warned that a vote to leave
:16:41. > :16:42.would trigger a recession. But the UK economy has proved
:16:43. > :16:45.robust, with new figures out today suggesting there was strong growth
:16:46. > :16:50.in the month after the vote. Earlier, our economics and business
:16:51. > :17:04.editor John Campbell Today, we got to the official
:17:05. > :17:09.figures for the UK service sector. It's really important sector, 80% of
:17:10. > :17:13.the entire economy, as an important bellwether for a entire economy. The
:17:14. > :17:18.figures were good, they should be sector expanded by 0.4% in July, and
:17:19. > :17:29.that was the first full month after Brexit. I I know 0.4% doesn't sound
:17:30. > :17:35.like much, but it is significant. Post the vote, did anything dramatic
:17:36. > :17:39.happen in the economy? There is one sector to focus on, and that is the
:17:40. > :17:47.value of the pound. If you look at this chart, before the referendum,
:17:48. > :17:54.?1 could Bailly about 1.3. Euros After the vote it plunges. It stayed
:17:55. > :18:00.lower today. ?1 would get you about 1.16 euros as compared to before the
:18:01. > :18:05.vote. There are facts to go over with this. It's good exporters,
:18:06. > :18:09.there products are cheaper to buy abroad so this sound more of them.
:18:10. > :18:14.But imports become more expensive. What were likely to seek is
:18:15. > :18:19.inflation creeping up, prices creeping up, because we import so
:18:20. > :18:24.much. Those currency figures had a positive effect for one group,
:18:25. > :18:28.farmers the subsidies they get paid director nominated in euros and get
:18:29. > :18:33.converted to pounds. Cause the euro is now stronger, it means this year
:18:34. > :18:40.the total agricultural sector will get one and the got last year. What
:18:41. > :18:46.can we say about the future? Predictions Ari mugs game, but we
:18:47. > :18:50.shouldn't focus on the short-term, because the full impact of Brexit
:18:51. > :18:55.were only be felt ever years. We've had the vote, we haven't yet had
:18:56. > :18:58.Brexit. We're still in the EU, don't know what our trading relationships
:18:59. > :19:02.are going to be with Europe, the Republic, the rest of the world,
:19:03. > :19:06.until then it is difficult to say exactly what the future holds.
:19:07. > :19:09.And there will be a BBC Radio Ulster documentary on Brexit and what it
:19:10. > :19:17.means to Northern Ireland this Sunday at 12:30.
:19:18. > :19:27.Now sport, and Mark Sidebottom is in the studio, and Europe imploding?
:19:28. > :19:32.And it's only day one at the Ryder Cup?
:19:33. > :19:37.We're at the midpoint of day one, and the USA entirely dominant.
:19:38. > :19:47.The United States are 1-0 -- 4-0 up after the morning foursomes, the
:19:48. > :19:50.last time that happened was 1981. Stephen is there. A lot of golf to
:19:51. > :19:55.be played, but Europe in trouble early on?
:19:56. > :20:00.Absolutely, losing all four games this morning is something that only
:20:01. > :20:05.happened five times in history. It's been a nightmare start for the
:20:06. > :20:08.captain, Darren Clarke. He told me just a short time ago he's refusing
:20:09. > :20:16.to panic, there is still a long way to go. There is going to be a big
:20:17. > :20:20.afternoon from his players required. Rory McIlroy was involved this
:20:21. > :20:25.afternoon, eventually losing on the 18th green. A dramatic game which
:20:26. > :20:28.ebbed and flowed. Eventually, like every thing else, it ended up going
:20:29. > :20:33.the way of America. A noisy, early start at Hazeltine.
:20:34. > :20:41.Europe were buoyant about their chances. Rory McIlroy started
:20:42. > :20:46.confidently. He and partner Andy Sullivan let Americans Rickie Fowler
:20:47. > :20:52.and Phil Mickelson. They were a little wayward, and Europe were 2-0
:20:53. > :20:57.up after just six holes. But at the next, the momentum was halted, as
:20:58. > :21:03.McIlroy found the water, and the lead started to slip. The Americans
:21:04. > :21:10.produced three birdies of their own, turning the tide and taking a one
:21:11. > :21:21.hole advantage. Advantage Europe again, McIlroy Majestic on the
:21:22. > :21:31.greens. He holds golf two birdie parts and Europe were up again with
:21:32. > :21:33.just two hole to play. A Sullivan mistake let Europe struggling to
:21:34. > :21:38.salvage a point. It couldn't and lost on the 18th. Leaving captain
:21:39. > :21:49.Darren Clarke with much to ponder for this afternoon's for all
:21:50. > :21:53.matches. -- four ball matches. Those matches are ready under way here at
:21:54. > :22:03.Hazeltine. Rory McIlroy is out again at a roundabout 7:15pm home time.
:22:04. > :22:05.He's playing Thomas Pieters, a Ricky, -- a rookie. Darren Clarke
:22:06. > :22:12.need some thing special to happen this afternoon.
:22:13. > :22:13.We will have the very latest on our little bulletin at 10:30pm.
:22:14. > :22:15.It's derby day in local football tomorrow -
:22:16. > :22:17.the champions Crusaders host north Belfast rivals Cliftonville,
:22:18. > :22:20.Glenavon are at home to Portadown and it's the battle of the Bann
:22:21. > :22:22.as Ballymena United travel to Coleraine.
:22:23. > :22:24.And for one manager, it's a baptism of fire -
:22:25. > :22:28.Gary Haveron's first game in charge of Glentoran is against archrivals
:22:29. > :22:40.It's a massive occasion for everyone involved. We've got to get out there
:22:41. > :22:46.and show our fans how much it means to us to play in this game. However
:22:47. > :22:54.and expect and demand as to show that passion in pride in the shirt.
:22:55. > :22:59.That's not a luxury, that should be the expectation of when foreign
:23:00. > :23:03.Football Club, to play without pride and that's what we will show on
:23:04. > :23:04.Saturday. -- when foreign Football Club.
:23:05. > :23:07.Dundalk made history last night by becoming the first Irish team
:23:08. > :23:09.to win a group stage match in the Europa League.

:25:36. > :25:39.Good evening to you, the Apple harvest is one of the sites of
:25:40. > :25:45.autumn, and it is certainly underway in Armagh today. There are a number
:25:46. > :25:50.of Apple events going on over the weekend. Whatever your macro optic,
:25:51. > :25:53.I can promise you the next few days are not looking too bad at all. A
:25:54. > :25:58.few showers today, but overnight they will gradually fizzle out as
:25:59. > :26:04.temperatures dropped away in rural spots. Some mist around tomorrow
:26:05. > :26:09.morning, but once that rolls back it will be be be rather nice. Dry and
:26:10. > :26:13.bright for a time. There will be a few showers, but they will in the
:26:14. > :26:17.main be confined to the coast. The further inland you come, the better
:26:18. > :26:23.the chance of seeing dry weather. Not one though, top temperatures 13
:26:24. > :26:28.of 14 degrees. -- not warm though. With light winds, the chance of
:26:29. > :26:33.seeing blue sky too, I think we're doing pretty well. Because those
:26:34. > :26:37.clear skies overnight, the temperatures are really going to
:26:38. > :26:42.drop away, and cold night. Another touch of frostbite by Sunday
:26:43. > :26:48.morning. Certainly a chilly start to Sunday. That said, once that only Mr
:26:49. > :26:54.Brown is back, another very nice day. It'll be dry just about
:26:55. > :27:03.everywhere. Not warm, temperatures maybe 15 degrees. Two are seeing
:27:04. > :27:07.today the breeze rolls back. This weather front is approaching slowly,
:27:08. > :27:13.giving us a few headaches. Currently it looks by the time we get a Monday
:27:14. > :27:19.it was staying largely offshore, said the early hours should be dry.
:27:20. > :27:25.Through Tuesday, it start wet as that front travels slowly out to the
:27:26. > :27:30.east. That confusion apart, the next few days not looking too bad. So do
:27:31. > :27:36.make the absolute most of what should be a glorious autumn weekend.
:27:37. > :27:40.We'll tried to! And we will report on the bumper year for Apple growers
:27:41. > :27:44.on our Facebook page. BBC Newsline is also on Twitter. Thank you for
:27:45. > :27:46.watching, bye-bye.
