Good evening, the headlines on BBC Newsline:

Where are you from? Romania. We do why could the millions.

course with Europe over Brexit and claims people

The BBC learns there was a drugs amnesty in Maghaberrry

I am big enough to take any stick so nobody has soured me before and

nobody will do it again. Also on the programme,

no regrets for Team Europe Ryder cup captain Darren Clarke as the USA

gets back that winning feeling. Apart from the odd shower,

most places will continue First to that racist

abuse in Antrim. The victim was a woman who's

originally from Romania. A video widely circulated on social

media appears to show three teenagers throwing a stone

at her and verbally abusing her. The woman has been speaking to north

east reporter Sara Girvin and has said the incident will not

force her to leave the town. This is the video which shows a

Romanian woman being subjected to racist abuse as she went to pick up

her young son from school. While the second had on social media, it shows

three stopping her and asking where she is from. Romania? Do you have a

passport? The woman who didn't want to appear

on camera says she has been living in Antrim for three months and she

says she likes the town and want believing. Oh, no, I don't want

because I am here. My son is at his first school, my husband is working.

Today in Antrim, people said the footage made them feel disgusted.

People are absolutely appalled, shocked and sickened but really

impressed with the dignified response by the lady in question. We

are so sad that our young people felt that this was appropriate

behaviour. I just cannot believe this came from Antrim. It gives us

all a bad name. They think we are all tarred with the one brush and we

are not. Police have now identified the three boys involved and said

they are making plans to stick to them formally over the next few

days. They have also offered their support to the victim as

investigations continue. The Deputy First Minister Martin

McGuinness says the Westminister government is on a collision course

with the European Union over Brexit and he fears people

here could become collateral damage. He was responding to a speech

by the Prime Minister at the Conservative Party conference

in which she declared there would be no Brexit opt out

for any region of the UK. Theresa May has set March next year

as the date when the UK will begin Stormont, like the rest of the UK,

has a new deadline, a date in the calendar which will focus minds and

debates for many months to come. March next year is the date set next

year by the Prime Minister when the UK will push the exit button.

Theresa may had a very clear message with those in Northern Ireland and

Scotland who, like her, under to remain. We will negotiate as one

United Kingdom and we will leave the European Union as one United

Kingdom. There is no opt out from Brexit. I will never a divisive

nationalists to undermine the precious union between a four

nations of our United Kingdom. She may not have been thinking about

this nationalists but he wasn't impressed. This is all about the

internal machinations of the party. It appears that we are going to be

the collateral damage in terms of politics and in terms of our economy

in the time ahead. The clock is now running and if all goes according to

plan, Northern Ireland will be outside the EU and roughly 900 days.

One of the challenges for politicians here is to ensure they

will be no return of a hard border with the Republic but the Irish

government warned today that that now cannot be ruled out. I don't

know if some people have become fascinated with Donald Trump's wall.

We don't want a wall built along. Some people may me I don't want a

wall built along the border with the Republic of Ireland. We want to see

the maximum number of movement between ourselves and the Republic

of Ireland, we want a sensible way forward. As he prepared for his

speech tomorrow at the Conservative Party conference, the Secretary of

State said he, too, has no worries about the border. I have been very

clear that we do not want to see a return to Borders of the past. Have

had the Common travel area for many, many, many years, since either the

UK or Ireland joined the European Union. The biggest test for our

politicians will be making sure their voices are heard when the

Brexit negotiations begin. On the border today,

Gardai and immigration It prompted a County

Armagh vegetable grower about border controls,

after eight of his workers were detained by Irish police

on the way to work this morning. The men, all EU nationals,

were stopped at Dundalk. The immigration checkpoint was a big

Gardai operation and ran all day. Southbound traffic driving from

Northern Ireland into the Irish Republic was filtered off the much

away at Dundalk. There, a team of waiting officers checked all kinds

of vehicles, including buses and works fans. Among those caught up in

the delays with these eight farm workers. They had left their County

Armagh base this morning to travel to Dundalk where their employer also

has 80 acres. They are all EU nationals and so entitled to free

movement but because they could not reduce identity documents, they were

detained and taken to Dundalk police station. They said first and

foremost they have no documentation that we have been stopped at these

checkpoints in the past and other drivers would have phoned up and

said they were asked for their documentation but none of the rest

of the workers would have had any problem so, why today? A spokesman

said this morning 's checkpoints were part of an ongoing operation by

the National immigration bureau. He said that under the immigration

Acts, non-Irish nationals were required to carry identification

papers. The farmer said he had lost a morning 's work with the

associated cost and he is worried about how a future border checks

will work and if the rules are going to be applied more rigorous than

before, how cross-border businesses like his will have to adapt.

Later in the programme we reveal how worried one of our universities

The BBC has learned that a drugs amnesty was called

It was made amid fears that pills which have been linked to at least

one death were circulating in the prison.

The amnesty, which was authorised by Maghaberry Governor, Steve Davis,

took place over the last weekend in September. The prison service has

not said what wanted it but I understand it was concerned that the

fake Valium pills known as the blue plague were being sick and it is

within the prison and they have been blamed for hundreds of deaths like

across Scotland. They have been widely reported as having a role in

the death of Jonathan Adair, the son of former loyalist paramilitary

leader, Johnny Adair. He died on September the tenth. Maghaberry

jail, like every other, faces an ongoing problem with illegal drugs.

However, start I have spoken to set here, that problem is getting worse

and worse and is indeed approaching Isis point. However, in a statement

to me confirming that the amnesty took place, the prison service said

the governor would use all tools at his disposal to keep prisoners safe

and appointed to the fact that since July, 11 people have been arrested

here suspicion of trying to traffic drugs into the jail. The prison

service have not said how many people availed of the amnesty but I

understand there was a very small number, as few as five, despite the

governor 's assurance that anyone who took part would face no

repercussions. Sinn Fein and the SDLP have

condemned nationalist protestors who shouted abuse at a Catholic

priest for backing a deal that cleared the way for an Orange Order

parade in north Belfast on Saturday. Fr Gary Donegan was confronted

by supporters of a group The Orange Order and another

nationalist group say they hope the deal could mark the end

of decades of disputes Ardoyne priest found himself in the

eye of a storm. Confronted by a small but angry crowd of supporters

of the nationalist residents group which opposed the parade deal he

supported. At one point, SDLP North Belfast MLA Michael M Allen urged

him to leave. I couldn't believe what was happening. Situation was

very aggressive and hostile. I tried to intervene. He said he had never

run away from anything and he wasn't going to now. The spokesman was

among those who confronted the priest. This entire area, they are

opposed to these parades and facilitating these people and the

Parades Commission decision. You sided with those people and against

the people of the area. Afterwards, the priest, who has worked in the

Ardoyne area of 15 years, was not -- was in a defiant mood. I am big and

only enough to take stick. Nobody has scared me before and no body

will do it again. A few people shouting at you because they have

the publicity and the cameras. I stood on the road for over two

years, where with a? I was trying to keep youngsters from harm, where

with a? They were not there to be seen. Sinn Fein North Belfast MLA

Gerry Kelly was also targeted by the crowd who chased after him as he

left the area. Some accused him of running away. I saw police running

past me. I turned around to see the crowd coming to me and I said, what

do you want? They stopped so I walked off again. I don't run away

from those things. He also criticised those who confronted the

priest. It is not a genuine reflection of the community. The

vast majority, I believe, supported this agreement. I can tell you the

vast majority of people in the community support the priest. The

confrontation took place after the orange order committed their return

leg of the North Belfast parade on Saturday morning. It has been banned

from passing along a section of the Crumlin Road since July 20 13. After

a wait of almost 1,200 days, but ban was lifted following an agreement

between three double Orange Lodge 's and another nationalist residents

group in the Ardoyne area. Welcome home to lick Emile! The orange order

says it hopes it could mark the end of parade disputes in the area. I

believe we are at the start of a new beginning for parading in this area.

I believe the agreement between the residents and the Orange Order

augers well for parading in this area in the future. After the

parade, a loyalist camp at Tudela Avenue was dismantled. Accommodation

used high protesters since the parade was banned three years ago

was removed. Talks aimed at future parades will now take place.

Before the referendum on EU membership the Ulster University had

warned that a Brexit would put its income at risk.

The BBC has obtained a document which reveals it could lose around

20 million Euros in funding and tuition fees a year.

The document was prepared by the university and our

The new Belfast campus is going. The university doesn't anticipate any

risk to the loan due to Brexit that there are other ways. A briefing

paper on the potential impact of Brexit prepared by the Vice

Chancellor of the university says it puts around 20 million euros a year

of research funding and tuition fees at risk, something the document says

is of great concern. It also says more border checkpoints would have

an adverse impact on staff mobility, especially at the Magee campus in

Londonderry, as many staff their lives in Donegal. That is not the

only mention of the border. There are currently over 1,300 EU students

across Ulster's four campuses. The vast majority come from the Republic

of Ireland. Document also raises concerns about the University's

ability to attract them in future due to potential post-Brexit changes

in their immigration status and consequent rises intuition fees. The

UK Government has attempted to ease fears from universities by

guaranteeing to underwrite European research grants in the research --

immediate future. No one from the university was available for

interview but what this document shows is that reading the EU will

provide some stiff test for higher education here.

Our Economics and Business editor John Campbell is with me.

We have a statement from the Chancellor and Prime Minister, how

clear are we about what Brexit is going to look like? I think we will

be much clearer after the Prime Minister 's speech at the weekend.

She focused on the fact that for her, Brexit should mean the UK

should have maximum control over its own migration policies and if we

have those policies which limit the number of people coming here from

the EU, it is highly unlikely that we remain a member of the single

market. The Prime Minister also talked about the UK going out into

the world and making new trade deals and that would mean we couldn't

remain members of the EU 's custom union. Out of this EU and out of the

custom union, that looks at more likely and if we leave those

arrangements, that means something else should be put in its place. The

Prime Minister doesn't like the sound of what the Swiss and

Norwegians have and has implied a new bilateral agreement between the

UK and the EU. That has led to a lot of talk about the Canadian model

being the future for trade. Explain what that is all about. The EU has

negotiated one of these compounds of free trade deals with Canada so

people say we could use that as the basis for a UK EU deal. In the

Canadian dealer there is the elimination of tariffs on all

manufactured goods being traded between the EU and Canada, also the

recognition of professional convocations and product standards

but in other areas it is limited on services and it also continues to

have tariffs and quotas on agricultural produce which would be

a worry in this part of the world, so what many people would say is,

yes, the Canadian deal would provide a basis of the UK would be looking

for something which goes further than that, a Canada that deal, as

people have called it. That depends on the views of the partners in

Europe, but they want, and also how long would this deal take to

negotiate because Raman, once Prime Minister triggers Article 50, there

are two years for us to leave and if we do not have a deal, some interim

arrangements would have to be in place and we don't know what they

are. 100 years ago today

Professor Frank Pantridge was born - a man whose invention has helped

save countless lives An event was held this morning

in Lisburn to honour the pioneer Just over 50 years ago, this became

a life-saver outside the hospital. The portable defibrillator. It

signalled a major breakthrough in emergency medicine and the man

behind it was Hillsboro born Professor Frank Pantridge. Today, a

century on from his breath, he was remembered and recognised again for

his work. All my life I have had a heart condition and I went into

nursing because of my heart condition. The fact that Professor

Pantridge is the man who is the father of emergency medicine, I just

found that amusing. He has done so much for this country and the world

and for me personally. I think he is a great man that we should

acknowledge. When the experienced first-hand the value of a

defibrillator but her story is just one of many. Northern Ireland 's

former world disabled water-skiing champion has been resuscitated six

times, thanks to this invention. They save so many lives on a daily

basis across the world and it is tremendous now that there are the

portable ones and you see them all over the place and they are simple

to use some more lives can be saved. Today's milestone coincides with

renewed efforts to make different religious more accessible in public

spaces across Northern Ireland. And so, the legacy of Frank Pantridge

lives on. Sport - the United States regained

the Ryder Cup with victory Darren Clarke's Europe went down

by 18-11 after a dramatic final day of singles matches at

Hazeltine, Minnesota. One embrace, two captains, still

friends after a special buttercup rivalry. Darren Clarke, disappointed

but gracious in defeat. Gutted but at the same time, I will get my life

back on Tuesday which is a start! I have been proud to be the captain

and I have tried my utmost and the guys know that I have tried but you

plan, you put everything in preparation for coming here, you do

what you feel is best and that is what I have done. Just

unfortunately, the American guys played a little bit better. It has

been a hard-fought final day. Rory McIlroy did his best to keep the

partisan crowd quiet. But his American opponent, Patrick Reed,

continued to turn up the volume. A fiercely competitive match, intense

at times, with emotions running high. The Rory McIlroy raw,

eventually silenced as he lost one of the most classic jewels of Ryder

Cup history. For me trying to put a blue point on the board, I didn't do

my job and I'm obviously disappointed with that. In the end,

it wasn't enough. Do you go with a sour taste in your mouth because of

the way the fans have been at times? I think the fans, as a whole, have

been good and fair but just the small minority are the people who

ruin it for everyone else but that is what you expect with the Ryder

Cup and that is what happened. We can give them a good fight in a

couple of years. One European was celebrating. The caddie of American

player, is from the same town as Darren Clarke. Pretty good friends

with the other lads and obviously Darren from Portrush. You want to

get up there and celebrate but you're also looking behind you a

little bit and it is a strange situation but I am delighted. As

America popped open the champagne, Europe's captain was left reflecting

on what might have been. Would I change anything? No. It is hard to

have regrets I regret the scoreline as we finished but in terms of all

the preparation and all the help I have had behind-the-scenes, I am

fortunate to have had that support. How much will you enjoy helping to

select the next captain Britt Assombalonga hopefully I will get

that one right! The end of a memorable journey through Darren

Clarke as Ryder Cup captain as America win the trophy for the first

time 2008. Europe must now wait two years to try and wrestle it back

when the Ryder Cup goes to France in 2018.

In football, four derby games in the Danskebank Premiership

The champions Crusaders mounted a great comeback

Crusaders looked to be on the way to their first league defeat of the

season when Cliftonville made it 3-0 after only 25 minutes at the view.

As the home side mounted their comeback, emotions began to run high

and the game threatened to get out of control. There was an equalising

goal in the last minute and it looked set for a 3-3 draw, but there

was still time for this dramatic winner to send one half of North

Belfast home happy. The perfect birthday present for the boss,

Stephen Baxter. At the Oval, Venter and had a new boss and his side were

four minutes away from rivals Linfield when Jimmy Carter stripped

to head home the winning goal. Palomino took a 2-0 lead over the

ban ciders and they earned a point when Jordan Allen equalised. There

was only the one goal in the mid-Ulster Derby. Portadown remain

added to the bottom of the table. Ards and Ballinamallard or the other

winners on Saturday. Derry City came from a 2-0 down in their semifinal

with Dundalk to earn a replay. Rory Patterson was the scorer and the

The weather is next. It hasn't been a bad start to the

week even though there has been a fair amount of cloud and a breeze as

well but it was a mainly dry day and we still have a fair amount of dry

weather in the forecast is coming week. There will be some bright or

sunny spells around but more often or not, variable amounts of cloud

particularly major on in the week. That's what we had today, a breezy

day with cloud. One or two spots towards the West but generally it

has been dry and we have had some clear spells towards the East Coast.

That give us some lovely sunrises along the East Coast this morning.

Maybe one or two of us getting begins at the Sunset that there is

still a lot of cloud of their and it is still breezy and that stays with

us tonight. Maybe some patchy rain in parts of the West but other than

that, the dry weather holds and not too cool for most of us. Tomorrow,

not a bad day coming up. We will see some bright spells and again, a lot

of dry weather. To begin with, maybe some patchy rain in parts of the

West. But will soon move away and it is a breezy start but the breeze

will ease down tomorrow so not too bad in the West, some bright spells

with highs of 15 degrees. Whether East, the risk of 12 spots catching

the odd light shower. Then it stays mainly dry through tomorrow night

and into Wednesday. By then, the breeze is picking up again it could

feel cooler. Some bright spells coming through and it stays breezy

through the rest of the week and the mainly dry weather still holds.
