:00:56. > :00:58.but the days quite spring-like. First tonight, a very
:00:59. > :01:03.disturbing story. We must warn you the following
:01:04. > :01:08.report contains upsetting details. A court was told today
:01:09. > :01:11.about how a woman with severe learning difficulties was kept
:01:12. > :01:16.a virtual prisoner in a house in Craigavon and subjected
:01:17. > :01:18.to appalling sexual abuse That abuse was carried out
:01:19. > :01:23.by this man, Keith Baker, They were in court today
:01:24. > :01:28.as a prosecution lawyer gave a disturbing account of how they had
:01:29. > :01:33.assaulted and raped their victim. Her plight was only discovered
:01:34. > :01:36.when another woman who lived in the house finally decided to go
:01:37. > :01:39.to the police. It's from our south-east
:01:40. > :01:53.reporter, Gordon Adair. When the police rescued the women
:01:54. > :01:57.just before Christmas 2012, she was emaciated and had only a single to
:01:58. > :02:02.left. The only toilet she had access to was overflowing with human waste.
:02:03. > :02:06.The woman appeared very confused, asked how long she had been in the
:02:07. > :02:11.room, she spoke any childlike voice and did not know if it had been six
:02:12. > :02:19.or two years. She was first brought to Northern Ireland in 2004 white
:02:20. > :02:28.Baker. Today here at Craigavon, the prosecutor said the curb's life had
:02:29. > :02:33.been... Both Baker who was in a wheelchair and his wife hung their
:02:34. > :02:36.heads to eight hearing as the outlined graphic details of horrific
:02:37. > :02:41.sexual assault which were captured on video was shot by Baker and then
:02:42. > :02:45.both he and his wife can be seen repeatedly raping the women over a
:02:46. > :02:51.matter of years. In the beginning, she is well nourished, by the end
:02:52. > :02:53.she is emaciated. These houses are now occupied by people with
:02:54. > :02:59.absolutely no connection to the beakers. The neighbour has moved on
:03:00. > :03:03.but back in 2013 she was questioned by the police and she told them that
:03:04. > :03:08.in eight years of going in and out of this house she had never once
:03:09. > :03:13.seen the women they found on that December night. The victim was not
:03:14. > :03:18.registered with a doctor, or a dentist, and no benefits had ever
:03:19. > :03:22.been claimed in her name. In the 2004, her husband who also had
:03:23. > :03:27.severe learning difficulties had reported her missing to a police
:03:28. > :03:32.force in England. The PSN I however did not have any knowledge or
:03:33. > :03:36.contact with the women until December 20 12. When the alarm was
:03:37. > :03:41.raised by women referred to in court only as Miss X. She lived with Baker
:03:42. > :03:46.effectively as a second wife and was the mother of four of his eight
:03:47. > :03:53.children. Caroline Baker was the mother of one of the for. They were
:03:54. > :04:01.told was a grossly unconventional household. Beginning a legal process

:04:17. > :04:20.There are just three days to go before the deadline to elect a First
:04:21. > :04:31.and Deputy First Minister runs out at four o'clock on Monday afternoon.
:04:32. > :04:33.And as our political correspondent Gareth Gordon reports from Stormont,
:04:34. > :04:36.a break through looks as far away as ever.
:04:37. > :04:38.In the Stormont sun, the people who must do the dealing
:04:39. > :04:52.But appearances can be deceptive and some distance still remains.
:04:53. > :04:59.It always seems to come to this point, time running out and a
:05:00. > :05:06.deadline just to concentrate minds. What are the chances? I believe that
:05:07. > :05:12.a deal is still achievable. With goodwill, good spirits and that
:05:13. > :05:18.positive intent. But time is short. We must firmly focused on those key
:05:19. > :05:23.issues to enable an executive to be formed on Monday. We are likely to
:05:24. > :05:30.be here all day, into the evening, I suspect we will be here tomorrow,
:05:31. > :05:32.but I do believe that the deadline of 4pm on Monday is not one that can
:05:33. > :05:33.be taken lightly. Some people believe the chances
:05:34. > :05:35.can only be improved by the appearance of the DUP leader
:05:36. > :05:38.at Martin McGuinness's funeral and the reception she received,
:05:39. > :05:50.but that alone will not be enough. People need to understand that
:05:51. > :05:56.symbolism is very, very important and only takes us so far, what we
:05:57. > :06:01.need to do now is embrace that positive spirit that we saw in Derry
:06:02. > :06:02.yesterday and begin to move this process forward.
:06:03. > :06:04.But there still remains the problem which successive talks
:06:05. > :06:08.have failed to resolve - the past.
:06:09. > :06:17.The fact that the issue has not been resolved has damaged the ability to
:06:18. > :06:21.do politics any broader sense here and the British Government know
:06:22. > :06:25.that, that's we had Stormont house dogs, that's all we had the fresh
:06:26. > :06:29.start agreement. The failed to deliver on the back of all three of
:06:30. > :06:34.those talks. If they think there is a serious proposition for families
:06:35. > :06:35.to say let's kick the scan down the road and see how it works out,
:06:36. > :06:37.that's not a serious approach. So there's much still to do
:06:38. > :06:39.before the parties can The potential of getting a deal by
:06:40. > :06:47.4pm is probably limited. The heat may be on, but don't get
:06:48. > :06:50.excited by the white smoke just yet. Gareth Gordon reporting, and Gareth
:06:51. > :06:53.joins me now from Stormont. Talks that are down
:06:54. > :06:56.to the wire yet again. Can we expect them to have
:06:57. > :07:11.discussions late into the weekend? They are going on at the moment and
:07:12. > :07:16.as you hard Charlie Flanagan seeing they will be there again in the
:07:17. > :07:20.morning, late tomorrow night. Come Sunday, the DUP has had difficulty
:07:21. > :07:28.negotiating on a Sunday, that may affect things. The 4pm deadline on
:07:29. > :07:33.Monday is not that far away at all and as you heard in that report the
:07:34. > :07:34.main sticking point of legacy doesn't seem to be any closing of
:07:35. > :07:35.that gap at all. As we're hearing in your report,
:07:36. > :07:38.there's been some talk about an improved mood
:07:39. > :07:40.after Arlene Foster's attendance And her handshake with Michelle
:07:41. > :07:53.O'Neill. Much has been made of the fact that
:07:54. > :07:57.Arlene Foster not only went to the funeral, it was difficult for her to
:07:58. > :08:03.do that, but the fact she was so warmly received when she got there.
:08:04. > :08:06.She was applauded in the church. The SDLP leader, Colum Eastwood, said he
:08:07. > :08:10.congratulated her but that alone would not be enough to get these
:08:11. > :08:14.talks over the line. BBC newsline has been to two areas of Belfast
:08:15. > :08:18.asking people there what they thought of Arlene Foster going to
:08:19. > :08:23.the funeral. One Unionist, one Nationalist and this is what they
:08:24. > :08:27.said. I think the way things are going, there is no change. Arlene
:08:28. > :08:34.Foster is stubborn and shall stay that way for a long time. I think it
:08:35. > :08:40.can only be a good thing. Seems to be making a bit of an effort. I
:08:41. > :08:45.don't know if the mood has improved but I do think Arlene Foster did the
:08:46. > :08:50.right thing. I think she is a good women. She needs to be praised
:08:51. > :08:53.instead of getting right down the time. Hoped the deal will be done
:08:54. > :08:59.because nobody wants to go back to the way it was before and I think
:09:00. > :09:06.I'm optimistic about it, but we'll see what happens. Sinn Fein's Conor
:09:07. > :09:09.Murphy he was asked if Arlene Foster's appearance at the funeral
:09:10. > :09:13.would make any difference and he played it down. He said in terms of
:09:14. > :09:18.showing respect Aubrey Breland, that was a Devon. He also said crucially
:09:19. > :09:22.that his party but my position over Arlene Foster had not changed. In
:09:23. > :09:26.other words, before any executive was formed, she would have to step
:09:27. > :09:29.aside before she is cleared by an RHI enquiry. Gareth Gordon at
:09:30. > :09:30.Stormont. Two teenage boys were watching
:09:31. > :09:33.television when a petrol bomb was thrown in through the front

:09:47. > :09:47.when the petrol bomb She was in the kitchen and came
:09:48. > :09:54.running towards them. The mother, who is now staying

:10:10. > :10:15.the house with their mother, were treated in hospital
:10:16. > :10:18.for cuts to their feet. As it happens, the two
:10:19. > :10:20.children, although only slightly hurt, are receiving

:10:37. > :10:38.with that for the rest of I'm totally disgusted that anybody
:10:39. > :10:41.could do something like this, something so wanton,
:10:42. > :10:43.without thought Police say immediately
:10:44. > :10:49.after the petrol bomb was thrown, three or four young men were seen

:17:10. > :17:16.I would say that. I do want to be too cautious. In essence, a draw is
:17:17. > :17:22.a good point for us tonight because it keeps the run going, it keeps the

:21:07. > :21:11.he would be severely disabled. Well, remarkably, tomorrow Odhran,
:21:12. > :21:15.CJ and their St Marys CBS teammates play in an all Ireland
:21:16. > :21:29.final in Tipperary. As he took this run, it was also a
:21:30. > :21:33.step into the unknown. So extensive was the trauma to Odhran McKenna's
:21:34. > :21:41.game following a road traffic accident he had to learn to walk and
:21:42. > :21:46.talk again. Now he is back. Health-wise, how are you after the
:21:47. > :21:53.accident? Dude. I had some surgery to get tidied up and then I will be
:21:54. > :22:04.back to fitness. Injuries never 100% go away. Anything that happens, you
:22:05. > :22:13.are at your own risk. But feeling good? Yes, feeling good. Working
:22:14. > :22:16.from a situation where we did fear the worst, he is now stepping out
:22:17. > :22:23.for an all Ireland final is just incredible. It has been some
:22:24. > :22:29.journey. It has indeed. From the start of the year, we knew if we got
:22:30. > :22:38.over Ulster this was our last hurdle. Tomorrow's opponents are
:22:39. > :22:44.from Limerick. It has been a long way to Tipperary, a very long way. A
:22:45. > :22:49.remarkable story and we wish them all the best in tomorrow's final.
:22:50. > :22:55.Angie Phillips has the weekend weather foreacast.
:22:56. > :23:02.Lovely to see springlike sunshine today. Temperatures up to 12 or 13
:23:03. > :23:06.degrees, higher through the weekend. It is looking good. High-pressure
:23:07. > :23:12.continuing to be in charge, that's going to keep things dry to the
:23:13. > :23:16.weekend. During the daytime we have springlike sunshine, some quite
:23:17. > :23:21.warm, the Knights will be cold. We are going to have a variation and
:23:22. > :23:24.wide range of temperatures between night and day. Today, more or less
:23:25. > :23:29.sandwiched between a weather front of the north of Scotland and another
:23:30. > :23:34.in the south. In between the high pressures, lots of glorious
:23:35. > :23:40.sunshine. Some cloud, not spoiling things too much. A gorgeous day
:23:41. > :23:45.here. A lovely day to tidy up the garden after the winter. This
:23:46. > :23:48.evening, a clear the day, temperatures falling, quite falling,
:23:49. > :23:51.quite cool quite quickly as it will be doing in Dublin for the Ireland
:23:52. > :23:56.Wales match. Those temperatures follow way through the course of the
:23:57. > :24:01.night. In the Times, close to freezing, in the countryside as low
:24:02. > :24:07.as -3 or minus four. A wide spread frost. But a fine day to follow
:24:08. > :24:11.tomorrow, dry, lots of sunshine, a cold start, you may be scraping the
:24:12. > :24:15.windscreen first thing but once the sun gets up and gets to work on that
:24:16. > :24:21.frost it will melt quickly and will help to lift the temperatures
:24:22. > :24:24.quickly. On the east coast, around ten or 11 degrees, but in the jump
:24:25. > :24:29.up and bit more and somewhere towards the west we could be seeing
:24:30. > :24:34.high of around 1415 degrees. That takes us to tomorrow night, heading
:24:35. > :24:38.into British summertime. Do you remember, particularly on Sunday
:24:39. > :24:42.morning, the clocks are moving forward, he will want to know that
:24:43. > :24:47.if you are getting up early. After a frosty start, Sunday is another fine
:24:48. > :24:51.day, seeing highs of 13 or 15 degrees, killing down in the
:24:52. > :24:52.evening. Although it's dry and clear for the match at Windsor Park, you
:24:53. > :24:54.will need the layers. Our late summary
:24:55. > :25:00.is at half past ten. It is the big Red Nose Day programme
:25:01. > :25:10.here for comic relief on BBC One.
