:01:17. > :01:29.a woman was reported to police and charged in connection
:01:30. > :01:31.with using abortion pills The purchase and use of the drugs
:01:32. > :01:39.is illegal throughout the UK. about their availability
:01:40. > :01:47.in Northern Ireland. And there are warnings that women
:01:48. > :01:50.are putting their health at risk by taking abortion
:01:51. > :01:59.pills bought online. Buying and using abortion pills is
:02:00. > :02:04.illegal across both the UK and Ireland. But there is concern about
:02:05. > :02:09.their availability online. We purchased drugs which arrived from
:02:10. > :02:12.India to an address here. That is despite Northern Ireland's strict
:02:13. > :02:16.abortion laws that prevent the termination of any pregnancy, unless
:02:17. > :02:21.the mother's life or health is at serious risk. The drugs were
:02:22. > :02:26.analysed for hours at Queens University. We can say with 100% as
:02:27. > :02:32.surety, it is that pharmaceutical compound. They found the pills were
:02:33. > :02:37.capable of causing an abortion. But they are not licensed for use in the
:02:38. > :02:41.UK. As with all drugs, there are risks associated with this drug's
:02:42. > :02:45.use. Of particular concern would be the heavy bleeding, which is a
:02:46. > :02:50.relatively common adverse effect, and a number of women would require
:02:51. > :02:55.a blood transfusion. If you're talking about heavy blood loss as a
:02:56. > :02:59.result of using these, is that potentially life-threatening?
:03:00. > :03:03.Completely, yes. That means someone in who use the drugs will require
:03:04. > :03:07.treatment. We have learned that at least one woman charged with using
:03:08. > :03:12.abortion pills was reported to police after she requested medical
:03:13. > :03:15.help. The Department of Health did issue guidelines earlier this year
:03:16. > :03:20.that stated that medical staff did have a duty to give information to
:03:21. > :03:24.police to secure the apprehension, prosecution or conviction of anybody
:03:25. > :03:27.involved in an illegal termination. However, the guidance is not clear
:03:28. > :03:31.because it also says that they do not have to pass on that information
:03:32. > :03:36.if they have a reasonable excuse not to. Whenever we want women to seek
:03:37. > :03:41.medical advice, we have been telling them do not say that they have taken
:03:42. > :03:45.the hills, because the medical professions are obliged to report
:03:46. > :03:48.this to the police and it is very clear in the most recent Northern
:03:49. > :03:51.Ireland guidelines that there is a don't ask, don't tell policy in
:03:52. > :03:56.those guidelines. Campaigners have been pushing for a relaxation of the
:03:57. > :04:03.abortion laws, but that remains a divisive and sensitive issues at
:04:04. > :04:05.Stormont. We do not want that to happen and our politicians have been
:04:06. > :04:09.holding against the tide of some people, like Amnesty International
:04:10. > :04:14.and other groups, who are actively trying to quite possibly change a
:04:15. > :04:17.lot. We made numerous requests to speak to the Justice Minister, and
:04:18. > :04:24.she was due to give interviews at an NSPCC event. As the NSPCC invaded
:04:25. > :04:29.you here today? When it became clear that we wanted to talk about
:04:30. > :04:31.abortion, however, her press officer had thrown out.
:04:32. > :04:40.While she not prepared to answer any questions about an abortion? I am
:04:41. > :04:43.not answering any more questions while you film, please. The Health
:04:44. > :04:47.Minister also refused requests for interviews. But in a statement, her
:04:48. > :04:55.department said their primary concern for any woman was care.
:04:56. > :04:59.The DUP leader Arlene Foster has said her party will continue to
:05:00. > :05:04.block attempts to introduce Same Sex Marriage Bill the Assembly. Mrs
:05:05. > :05:08.Foster said in an interview that abuse from some activists had
:05:09. > :05:11.convinced her to continue to use the blocking mechanism known as a
:05:12. > :05:16.petition of concern. Our political editor has more details.
:05:17. > :05:20.Well, these latest comments came in one of a series of interviews that
:05:21. > :05:23.Arlene Foster is giving in the run-up to her party conference,
:05:24. > :05:27.which is this weekend. In an interview with the press
:05:28. > :05:31.Association, she was asked about her party's position on same-sex
:05:32. > :05:35.marriage, and whether they might in the future decide not to use a
:05:36. > :05:40.petition of concern to block private member 's attempts to change the law
:05:41. > :05:43.on that score. She indicated that the DUP remains committed to a
:05:44. > :05:48.traditional definition of marriage and would use the tool, a petition
:05:49. > :05:51.of concern, which allows it to be any attempt to change Hall. She also
:05:52. > :05:56.said in that interview that she and her colleagues have subjected to
:05:57. > :06:00.what she called vicious abuse online by LGBT activists, and she said that
:06:01. > :06:05.abuse would not change your position. Indeed, she said it might
:06:06. > :06:09.actually had any position of the DUP in ensuring that they would not opt
:06:10. > :06:14.for any change on that score. And is this a surprise?
:06:15. > :06:17.I do not think so, really. If you look at the detail of the DUP's
:06:18. > :06:21.Assembly manifesto, there was one line were they said they remained
:06:22. > :06:25.committed to the definition of marriage and resisting any attempt
:06:26. > :06:28.to redefine it. So I think it has always been pretty clear on that
:06:29. > :06:34.score that they will continue to be to this. There has been talk about
:06:35. > :06:37.limiting the use of a petition of concern but Arlene Foster says this
:06:38. > :06:41.is a matter about which are party feels very strongly, so why would
:06:42. > :06:45.they not use that petition if they can?
:06:46. > :06:47.And are likely to see petition of concern used in relation to reform
:06:48. > :06:52.of abortion laws? It is another of those moral issues
:06:53. > :06:57.which causes quite a lot of debate here, and controversy at Stormont. I
:06:58. > :07:00.cannot see any change in relation to the kind of issues that Chris has
:07:01. > :07:06.been reporting on, they use of my North Pole faulty and that we, but
:07:07. > :07:10.what we are waiting to see if the outcome of a working group which has
:07:11. > :07:16.reported to the Executive. We still do not know what the recommendations
:07:17. > :07:22.are on the sensitive issue of fizzle fizzle abnormality. Sinn Fein is up
:07:23. > :07:25.for a change in the law of the working group recommends that, as is
:07:26. > :07:29.the Justice Minister. But we are waiting to see whether Arlene Foster
:07:30. > :07:31.decides to get her DUP party a free vote on this issue.
:07:32. > :07:33.Mark, at Stormont, thank you. The job losses announced
:07:34. > :07:35.by the bike retailer Chain Reaction have provoked
:07:36. > :07:37.a furious political reaction. The company is to cut
:07:38. > :07:39.around 300 positions It was locally owned
:07:40. > :07:42.until earlier this year when English firm Wiggle bought it
:07:43. > :07:46.for more than ?70 million. The former Finance Minister
:07:47. > :07:48.Sammy Wilson has accused the new owners of blatant
:07:49. > :07:51.and cynical asset stripping. Our economics and business editor
:07:52. > :08:06.John Campbell reports. It is this sort of work which will
:08:07. > :08:09.no longer be done locally. Waigel has spent millions on a huge new
:08:10. > :08:14.warehouse in the centre of England. So it makes commercial sense to have
:08:15. > :08:21.all of those logistics in one place. But that does not cut much ice with
:08:22. > :08:24.this MP. This is not because the company is uncompetitive. This is
:08:25. > :08:30.simply because a bigger company bought out a competitor, wanted to
:08:31. > :08:36.strip its assets, has a spare capacity in other parts of its
:08:37. > :08:41.organisation and intends to move to that spare capacity. The South
:08:42. > :08:46.Antrim MP met the company today. He says he can understand some of their
:08:47. > :08:50.explanations for the cuts, but he believes misleading language was
:08:51. > :08:54.used at the time of the takeover. The one worry when we heard about
:08:55. > :08:57.the merger was that there might be job lay-offs and things might get
:08:58. > :09:03.moved to another location. So I raised it at the time and we got
:09:04. > :09:05.nearly cast iron assurance that no, they were here forever and today,
:09:06. > :09:10.this was their home and this was where they would be employing people
:09:11. > :09:12.the future. But you always that with a doubt and now the worst has
:09:13. > :09:16.happened and we have got to fight, and tried really hard, to make sure
:09:17. > :09:20.that jobs stay here, that we build the business year and we hold it in
:09:21. > :09:27.South Antrim, and Andrew. Their main warehouse sits on the edge of this
:09:28. > :09:30.small village, where there is less focus on the political rhetoric and
:09:31. > :09:34.more concern about the wider economic impact. Some of the
:09:35. > :09:38.warehouse workers live nearby, and staff coming to and from work are
:09:39. > :09:42.killer customers at the village shop. Nobody here wanted to talk
:09:43. > :09:49.today, but they are worried about what it will mean for trade. Nobody
:09:50. > :09:51.from Chain Reaction was available to speak to the media today, although
:09:52. > :09:55.they have again emphasised they will be retaining around 300 jobs in
:09:56. > :10:00.Northern Ireland, and the company have again said they need to
:10:01. > :10:03.centralise warehousing in Wolverhampton if they are going to
:10:04. > :10:05.keep this business competitive in a very tough field.
:10:06. > :10:07.Meanwhile, one of Northern Ireland's biggest employers, Bombardier,
:10:08. > :10:09.is to bring forward a wave of redundancies
:10:10. > :10:10.which had been announced for next year.
:10:11. > :10:18.The company says the move will help reduce costs
:10:19. > :10:19.and improve its competitiveness.
:10:20. > :10:21.Our business correspondent Julian O'Neill joins us
:10:22. > :10:29.from outside its main Belfast factory.
:10:30. > :10:34.It is worth re-emphasising at the outset that this is not a new round
:10:35. > :10:37.of job losses being announced, but rather the exhilaration of a
:10:38. > :10:44.previously announced redundancy programme. Back in February, they
:10:45. > :10:48.announced that 1008 -- 1080 jobs would be going as it responded to
:10:49. > :10:53.financial problems caused by cost overruns with its passenger jet. The
:10:54. > :10:57.initial plan was to break those redundancies out over two years,
:10:58. > :11:04.roughly half this year, roughly half next. But today is the third
:11:05. > :11:09.occasion on which Bombard has adjusted that split and the upshot
:11:10. > :11:14.is all 1080 jobs will now go all for one year as opposed to two. So, a
:11:15. > :11:20.process which began in February will conclude in the coming months.
:11:21. > :11:24.Who has this come down -- gone down? Two things. Firstly, the company
:11:25. > :11:28.recognises that this is a difficult time for workers and their families.
:11:29. > :11:32.Consider that hundreds of workers got news today that work they
:11:33. > :11:38.thought they were going to have for another year and I will not exist
:11:39. > :11:40.for them. The union, Unite, is naturally disappointed but
:11:41. > :11:46.recognises that the global business is trying to get itself back into
:11:47. > :11:50.shape after a couple of pretty catastrophic years financially. The
:11:51. > :11:56.worry, however, is that more job losses could be on the horizon.
:11:57. > :12:02.Remember, last week they announced a further 7500 jobs would have to go
:12:03. > :12:05.across its global operation. Now, there are no indications yet that
:12:06. > :12:08.some of those jobs will go at Belfast but there is of course
:12:09. > :12:13.anxiety that workers who are having to deal with one round of
:12:14. > :12:14.redundancies could very soon be dealing with another.
:12:15. > :12:20.Plenty to come before seven, including...
:12:21. > :12:26.Hollywood's Andrew Smith may have lost in the final of Bake Off, but
:12:27. > :12:33.he is still a baking hero in his hometown.
:12:34. > :12:34.Inspectors say there've been significant improvements
:12:35. > :12:37.at Hydebank Wood, the prison for women and young male
:12:38. > :12:41.about the level of drugs in the jail.
:12:42. > :12:48.Our home affairs correspondent Vincent Kearney has more.
:12:49. > :12:55.It was rebranded from a prison to a college last year. Inmates are now
:12:56. > :12:59.called students instead of prisoners. Inspectors today said
:13:00. > :13:04.there has been a change of ethos, as well as name. The Prison Service is
:13:05. > :13:09.there to deliver a secure, decent environment. There is no doubt about
:13:10. > :13:13.that. But we also want them to rehabilitate offenders. Here, I
:13:14. > :13:17.found a staff actively engaging with prisoners, being firm but at the
:13:18. > :13:24.same time showing compassion when it was required. The landscape of the
:13:25. > :13:28.site has also been transformed. Courts are part of the new
:13:29. > :13:34.environment. They were introduced to help teach new skills, and provide
:13:35. > :13:38.therapeutic care for vulnerable prisoners. I have noticed a big
:13:39. > :13:41.change in some of the young lads when they start working with the
:13:42. > :13:45.goats. It gives them peace of mind and self-esteem to know that they
:13:46. > :13:49.can benefit from working with animals. There are also ceramics
:13:50. > :13:54.workshops with products sold to members of the public. Inmates are
:13:55. > :13:58.now taking Christmas orders. A lot of them get self-worth and self
:13:59. > :14:02.esteem. I can't paint, I can't do that or this. But when they call
:14:03. > :14:05.from baseline beamed into more detailed stuff, they can see that
:14:06. > :14:12.they can achieve it. It is bringing out their inner self-esteem. Inmates
:14:13. > :14:16.also help recycle most of the waste produced on the site. We used to put
:14:17. > :14:23.everything into landfill. When we changed to call College, one of our
:14:24. > :14:28.new workshops, a successful one, the recycling centre. Even leftover food
:14:29. > :14:32.is turned into fuel for fires. It has brought down the recycling
:14:33. > :14:36.centre and push through the composting machine. We then
:14:37. > :14:42.introduced the compost to shredded paper and we turn it into an equal
:14:43. > :14:46.shell, which is sold in the staff shop. But today's reports are not a
:14:47. > :14:50.completely clean bill of health. The inspectors expressed concern about
:14:51. > :14:54.the level of care for prisoners with serious mental health problems, and
:14:55. > :14:57.the widespread availability of drugs. The governor accepts that
:14:58. > :15:03.more needs to be done about the drugs problem. Bars and rolls will
:15:04. > :15:05.not stop people from carrying goods back internally inside them, and
:15:06. > :15:10.that is something we have found fairly challenging to deal with. New
:15:11. > :15:14.substances being brought in are basically order free, so very hard
:15:15. > :15:19.for dogs to detect? Yes, that is right. The systems we have in place
:15:20. > :15:24.are continually being updated in terms of testing. But for those new
:15:25. > :15:26.psychoactive substances, it is extremely difficult for us to keep
:15:27. > :15:31.on top of it. Inspectors also criticised the fact that the woman's
:15:32. > :15:35.prison and young male offenders centre occupied the same site. They
:15:36. > :15:38.say this is inappropriate and repeat calls made in previous reports for a
:15:39. > :15:43.separate woman's prison to be built. The sister of the late Gerry Conlon
:15:44. > :15:46.- one of the Guildford Four - has called for hundreds
:15:47. > :15:48.of secret papers on his after a small number of them
:15:49. > :15:52.were released to the BBC. Gerry Conlon, Paddy Armstrong,
:15:53. > :15:54.Paul Hill and Carole Richardson one of Britain's worst
:15:55. > :16:12.miscarriages of justice. IRA bombs ripped through pubs in
:16:13. > :16:17.Woolwich and Guildford. Four people were wrongly convicted of the
:16:18. > :16:21.murders. They were released in 1989. I've been present 15 years for
:16:22. > :16:26.something I didn't do, something I didn't know anything about.
:16:27. > :16:29.An inquiry was set up and based its findings on hundreds of secret files
:16:30. > :16:33.kept at the National Archives. Back in Belfast, there is anger only a
:16:34. > :16:38.few have been made public. Campaigners want all of files used
:16:39. > :16:41.in drying up that government report released, because they say they will
:16:42. > :16:47.show how four innocent people ended up going to prison for something
:16:48. > :16:51.they did not do. There are 750 files in total, and following a Freedom of
:16:52. > :16:55.Information request, the content of six of them have been made available
:16:56. > :16:59.to the public for the very first time. They show that some of those
:17:00. > :17:05.who influenced the inquiry still refuse to accept that Gerry Conlon
:17:06. > :17:09.and Paul Hill were not in the IRA. Proof one lawyer says of a campaign
:17:10. > :17:13.within sections of the establishment to reconnect them. May give us an
:17:14. > :17:19.indication that some of the problems that we had in the course of the
:17:20. > :17:24.keys, or many years, the persistent attempt to try to reconnect the
:17:25. > :17:30.Guildford four was still going on after the acquittal. Gerry Conlon
:17:31. > :17:34.and Paul Hill, who married into the Kennedy family in America,
:17:35. > :17:40.consistently denied they were in the IRA. Did I write? Yes, of course,
:17:41. > :17:47.that is what you did in west Belfast. What I involved in civil
:17:48. > :17:54.disobedience? Yes. Was I ended IRA? Never in my life. Weibring six files
:17:55. > :17:58.out? Bring all of the other files I and put it out to the public and
:17:59. > :18:04.stand and see who is guilty. Both doing this. The government is guilty
:18:05. > :18:08.of hiding evidence. Gerry Conlon died to make years ago
:18:09. > :18:14.and Carole Richardson has also passed away. The solicitor who
:18:15. > :18:17.represented the two surviving members of the four says they still
:18:18. > :18:23.firmly asserted their innocence and wanted the whole truth to be told.
:18:24. > :18:24.Even now, for decades on. -- four decades on.
:18:25. > :18:26.The Health Minister has responded to critics
:18:27. > :18:28.who say she should have bid for extra money
:18:29. > :18:31.in the October Monitoring round, to help cut waiting lists.
:18:32. > :18:33.Appearing before the the Health Committee this morning,
:18:34. > :18:40.Michelle O'Neill said the way the money is allocated has changed.
:18:41. > :18:47.There is no longer a formal bidding process. Monitoring is absolutely
:18:48. > :18:50.changed, what there is no it is an ongoing deadlock with the Finance
:18:51. > :18:55.Minister and Executive colleagues and I have had that discussion with

:19:35. > :19:40.afford to make any mistakes. Oh, dear. There are two sides of the
:19:41. > :19:48.baking paper and I have put it on the wrong one, as you can see. Oh!

:23:37. > :23:41.alive. You were dreaming about it all your life but since we joined

:24:29. > :24:33.with the this? Yes, let's learn to walk again. We really appreciate
:24:34. > :24:36.both of you joining us tonight and continued success on the field.

:25:34. > :25:39.Let's have a look at the weather. No birds today, back to landscape. We
:25:40. > :25:42.had a great start to the day. Plenty of cloud around right the way
:25:43. > :25:45.through this morning. Some of that delivers quite a bit of drizzle and
:25:46. > :25:49.one of our weather watchers managed to cap that sense of grey, a breath
:25:50. > :25:54.of skies sitting over us. Thanks to Tony for sending that picture in.
:25:55. > :26:00.Now, as we go through towards this weekend, we are going to keep that a
:26:01. > :26:03.team of grey and cloudy skies. There will always be a bit of brightness
:26:04. > :26:06.but mostly dry and males for the next few days. But with the threat
:26:07. > :26:10.of rain always present. Tonight, that threat becomes more of a
:26:11. > :26:14.reality. We will see that band of rain sinking slowly south. Behind
:26:15. > :26:18.did, that has the effect of bringing out the clouds of it. That gives us
:26:19. > :26:22.some clearer skies tonight. Through the second half of this evening, the
:26:23. > :26:23.temperatures will really drop away. It does mean that tomorrow morning
:26:24. > :26:42.is going to be quite a bright start. The chance of
:26:43. > :26:45.a little bit of rest and file but for most people, rather a nice
:26:46. > :26:47.morning. It is not going to last, because that men would thank South
:26:48. > :26:50.through this evening is on its way back tomorrow. Skies quoting from
:26:51. > :26:53.the south and then a little bit of rain is. That has a bit of impact on
:26:54. > :26:55.the temperature. That rain starts to push on, never ending too terribly
:26:56. > :26:58.much because the front is fragmenting all the while but it
:26:59. > :27:01.would introduce a bit of moisture and that means there will also be a
:27:02. > :27:03.bit of fog forming through the night on Friday into Saturday morning.
:27:04. > :27:07.Temperatures relatively mild. Not a bad night for the rugby. Through the
:27:08. > :27:10.weekend, we have got this area of high pressure being established.
:27:11. > :27:13.That gives us a good deal of protection, certainly through the
:27:14. > :27:18.first half of the weekend. The rain is always threatening. Well we get
:27:19. > :27:22.away with that on Saturday, for most places, through most of the daylight
:27:23. > :27:25.hours staying dry, and those temperatures in the low teens, the
:27:26. > :27:30.threat of rain increases a little bit on Sunday. I know a lot of
:27:31. > :27:34.people will be thinking about going out for Halloween events. Lots of
:27:35. > :27:37.events through Northern Ireland through the next four or so and if
:27:38. > :27:43.you're out to recruiting, I do not think that if a bad line-up staying
:27:44. > :27:44.mostly dry, with those temperatures reasonably mild.
:27:45. > :27:46.Our late summary is at half past ten.
