:01:57. > :02:01.track at local format. The police are trying to find out what caused
:02:02. > :02:06.the crash. This is a narrow country lane. It runs from the park and ride
:02:07. > :02:12.facility. The name is popular with walkers and cyclists and is used as
:02:13. > :02:16.farm access. The exact circumstances of what happened last night were
:02:17. > :02:19.still being investigated but it was dark at the time and there would
:02:20. > :02:25.have been a lot of noise from passing traffic on a motorway, which
:02:26. > :02:30.is just on the other side of these bushes. Neighbours arrived at the
:02:31. > :02:34.scene of the crash as police were beginning their investigations. It
:02:35. > :02:40.is heartbreaking. Young fellas at such a young age and this tragedy
:02:41. > :02:43.has happened. The police were on scene and the lien was closed off.
:02:44. > :02:52.Families were arriving and people were grief stricken and it was a
:02:53. > :02:55.terrible scene. Last summer, police launched an awareness campaign about

:04:00. > :04:03.in this street close to city Hall after a night out two weeks ago. He
:04:04. > :04:07.made it home in the early hours of the morning but his family became
:04:08. > :04:13.concerned about as he lay in his bedroom later day. He had his
:04:14. > :04:19.blanket wrapped around him. He was moving about and he was still
:04:20. > :04:24.snoring. I thought nothing of it, we let him sleep it off and we left and
:04:25. > :04:28.about half seven that might my mum phoned me and said he was acting
:04:29. > :04:36.very strange, so I rushed back over and when I saw his face, he was

:04:42. > :04:46.hospital but died on Saturday. His friend said the whole community is
:04:47. > :04:51.in shock. Conan was a fantastic young lad. He offered so much to his

:10:28. > :10:30.in his time he says in order to save the health service it must
:10:31. > :10:34.be taken out of politician's hands. As no GP can be found to take it
:10:35. > :10:39.over, his practice is to close. Our health correspondent,
:10:40. > :10:58.Marie-Louise Connolly, reports. This is the view from Doctor Benny
:10:59. > :11:04.Glover's practice in Glenarm, County Antrim. He has lived and worked as a
:11:05. > :11:09.GP for more than 50 years. Life was simpler then. People take more
:11:10. > :11:15.responsibility for their own health. People appreciated the health
:11:16. > :11:18.service because, prior to 1948, we paid for everything. Join me around

:11:31. > :11:37.about 14 or 15 patients to see. He didn't have the mobile phone. No.
:11:38. > :11:47.Yellow jacket, how are you? Sorry to hear you are leaving us. We will
:11:48. > :11:52.miss you. Is the rest of it? It is the continuity of known people. Over
:11:53. > :11:58.five decades, this one-man practice has seen some changes, including
:11:59. > :12:01.dispensing its own medication and acquiring two part-time
:12:02. > :12:08.receptionists and practice nurses. At 78, he has no hesitation in this
:12:09. > :12:11.candid observation. The only way they can be improvement is taking it
:12:12. > :12:14.out of the hands of politicians and something set up, like the BBC,
:12:15. > :12:19.where you get government funding for the government for not telling you
:12:20. > :12:24.what to do. So, until it is taken out of the hands of politicians, it
:12:25. > :12:28.is only going to be a patch of job. One of the needs of patients are
:12:29. > :12:33.mostly the same, the health service is having to adapt to changing
:12:34. > :12:37.times. Nobody applied to take over the Glenarm practice, which means
:12:38. > :12:43.the 2000 patients will be divided among other practices in the area.
:12:44. > :12:52.You are coming to close up shop very soon. Does it seem a natural end? I
:12:53. > :12:59.am ready for it. I am ready for it. Once I decided to go, it felt like a
:13:00. > :13:05.weight off my shoulders, because you are always conscious that you were
:13:06. > :13:08.the doctor. Doctor Glover is not looking forward to dispensing lots

:13:29. > :13:41.reporter, Keiron Tourish. The Museum of Free Derry is in the
:13:42. > :13:45.bogside, a poignant setting as two of the 14 who died on Bloody Sunday
:13:46. > :13:50.lost their lives only yards away, three others were wounded. The
:13:51. > :13:55.building cost almost two and a half million pounds and toasty multimedia
:13:56. > :14:00.exhibition of the history of that period, including the defence of
:14:01. > :14:07.January 30 1972. It is very personal. When icy the artefacts,
:14:08. > :14:14.icy the artefacts attached to my own brother, Peter China could stem the
:14:15. > :14:18.flow of blood. This is about telling the truth, telling the correct story
:14:19. > :14:22.about what happened. One of the features of the museum is above in
:14:23. > :14:32.specialist panels you can hear the sounds Bloody Sunday. Can we help
:14:33. > :14:35.the people of Belfast? Everything from protesters, rioters, the
:14:36. > :14:44.gunshots which were fired and the Army communications. Visitors were
:14:45. > :14:50.impressed by a museum which contain some 20,000 artefacts. I think it is
:14:51. > :14:54.great to come to somewhere like this that still has so many primary
:14:55. > :14:59.sources and so many pieces of evidence to bring together the story
:15:00. > :15:02.for you. It is lovely to see. It is personal history to people and
:15:03. > :15:09.people will feel that when they walk around. I am from the rain, but you
:15:10. > :15:14.get a sense and you get a personal feeling when you are walking around
:15:15. > :15:18.it. The same management say the story is subjective but says it is
:15:19. > :15:19.the experience of local people during a traumatic time in the
:15:20. > :15:30.history of the city. This trophy will be handed to the

:15:41. > :15:43.are trying to recapture this season. Ireland meet France this weekend
:15:44. > :15:47.and one of the big decisions coach Joe Schmidt will have to make
:15:48. > :15:49.is whether to start Ulster's Paddy Jackson,
:15:50. > :15:51.who's played the first two games, instead of a now fit
:15:52. > :16:13.again Jonathan Sexton. Give us the impartial view, or
:16:14. > :16:17.should he do? Paddy Jackson, going back to South Africa, he took on
:16:18. > :16:21.major responsibility, they performed well and he crossed the line as
:16:22. > :16:27.regards an international player, which he is. The debate is, you have
:16:28. > :16:31.got Jonathan Sexton, it was a disappointing start, but the
:16:32. > :16:35.performance in Italy was ruthless. You are done if you do, than if you
:16:36. > :16:41.don't against the Italians. It is a tricky one, because Johnny is a
:16:42. > :16:44.unique player who can come back from being out for a while and performing
:16:45. > :16:51.at a higher level. He did that in November against the all Blacks. It
:16:52. > :16:56.is a difficult one. It is hard on Taddy, but if Jackson is fit and
:16:57. > :17:01.proves his fitness, it is a good chance for Joe Schmidt. It might be
:17:02. > :17:05.worth sticking with Paddy, let him play, he has had confidence. He has
:17:06. > :17:11.played seven of the last nine games for Ireland. Sexton hasn't played a
:17:12. > :17:16.lot. If Jonny Sexton breaks down again it is a big risk. Children
:17:17. > :17:20.simpler and will have watched him closely. If he proves his fitness he
:17:21. > :17:25.might go with them. I would leave that for a couple of weeks and try
:17:26. > :17:29.to get him back in fronts. Do you think Ireland can win the six
:17:30. > :17:36.Nations again this time around? They can. We are on week this week and it
:17:37. > :17:40.is amazing. You'd be so many fans and people who are excited and the
:17:41. > :17:43.expectation is back. It was dampened against Scotland but going back to
:17:44. > :17:50.November it was fantastic. Everyone is excited about a possible English
:17:51. > :17:54.showdown in the last match. Turning to bolster briefly, a cracking win
:17:55. > :18:02.against Glasgow with a fantastic tries scored. It helped get their
:18:03. > :18:07.season back on track. Can they make the top four? I do. It has been a
:18:08. > :18:11.difficult season, especially in Europe. I know from my days in
:18:12. > :18:17.Munster, there is expectation to perform and win trophies and get big
:18:18. > :18:21.days and there have been many big days, but they want to start winning
:18:22. > :18:26.again and this try, what a loss he will be. It was an incredible score.
:18:27. > :18:29.They can. There is enough quality and talent to get back on track.
:18:30. > :18:55.Thank you for coming intimate. It was a night to remember for
:18:56. > :18:59.Ballymena United. The brave men had to battle for their silverware. It
:19:00. > :19:05.was the flying Scotsman who scored the opener just before half-time.
:19:06. > :19:11.Alan Jenkins has broken the deadlock. Sending the United fans
:19:12. > :19:15.into raptures. A trade mark Tony Kane free kick almost doubled their
:19:16. > :19:20.advantage, then Carrick had their appeal for a penalty kick turned
:19:21. > :19:32.down. This was before they wonder strike at the other end. What they
:19:33. > :19:37.don't. I knew it was going to be extremely difficult, extremely
:19:38. > :19:40.tough. My players stood up to the task and I don't think anyone can
:19:41. > :19:45.deny they deserved it. It is absolutely brilliant. I am delighted
:19:46. > :19:48.for the board, delighted for the players, but I am overjoyed for the
:19:49. > :19:52.supporters. They have been tremendous. It could be a sign of
:19:53. > :19:56.things to come under David Jeffrey. There was also silverware to
:19:57. > :19:58.celebrate for St Mary's University. The Belfast college won Gaelic
:19:59. > :20:00.footballs intervarsity competition, the Sigerson Cup for the first time
:20:01. > :20:03.in 28 years. Thomas Kane has been talking
:20:04. > :20:19.to the St Mary's manager. A classic story of a team coming
:20:20. > :20:23.from nowhere and ticking of the biggest team in the competition in
:20:24. > :20:30.the final and conferred by hard work. It is romantic. Over all,
:20:31. > :20:35.about 890 students in the college and we have about 200 male students.
:20:36. > :20:38.If you have a pair of boots you put them on and you play football. We
:20:39. > :20:43.don't discriminate. Nobody gets turned away. We have players who are
:20:44. > :20:47.intercounty players, they are pushing hard to establish themselves
:20:48. > :20:51.and we have lads coming from Junior clubs. No scholarships, the
:20:52. > :20:55.bursaries. If they want a power of shorts they go and buy them.
:20:56. > :21:00.Everybody is the same and when players come back to us, they all
:21:01. > :21:05.put on the Djuricic and they are on the same. How big an achievement is
:21:06. > :21:13.it for the University? This is as good as you are ever going to get in
:21:14. > :21:17.terms of going against all odds, a team from Saint Moris Qipco and when
:21:18. > :21:24.the Sigerson Cup. In 1999 when they it was an team. You have put a lot
:21:25. > :21:30.of work in, how pleasing was it? Pleased and a great relief. At the
:21:31. > :21:35.start of this year we sat down in the Green room downstairs here as a
:21:36. > :21:38.team and talk about the target of getting to the weekend and I knew if
:21:39. > :21:40.we got to the weekend we would be hard to beat. Great pictures, he
:21:41. > :21:40.enjoyed it. Northern Ireland's Mark Downey has
:21:41. > :21:43.won gold and silver medals at the Track Cycling World Cup
:21:44. > :21:45.in Columbia over the weekend. Downey, from Dromore, County Down,
:21:46. > :21:48.won gold in the Points race on Friday night and is now top
:21:49. > :21:51.of the rankings in the event. He then went on to win a second
:21:52. > :21:55.medal as he took the silver with partner Felix English
:21:56. > :21:58.in the Madison last night. The Belfast Giants' title charge
:21:59. > :22:00.took a massive dent at the weekend with back to back home defeats
:22:01. > :22:03.to the Cardiff Devils. In the first game, the Giants raced
:22:04. > :22:05.into a three-nil lead, with new signing Jerome LeDuc
:22:06. > :22:08.scoring twice on his debut. But the Devils made a remarkable
