:02:21. > :02:23.here back alone. His decision to return was not a sudden decision,
:02:24. > :02:28.the has been planning it for quite some time, and before he left I
:02:29. > :02:33.spoke to him, and I asked him what he hope to achieve by coming back
:02:34. > :02:38.here. What we are trying to achieve from this whole process is justice,
:02:39. > :02:44.and that is just as for Michaela, for our families. It is a hard
:02:45. > :02:51.process, and there is no doubt about that, but it has been hard evidence
:02:52. > :02:58.Michaela died. And I suppose this process isn't just picking up again
:02:59. > :03:03.from 2012. This has been an ongoing process for our families for the
:03:04. > :03:06.past six and a half years. The difference now is we are taking a
:03:07. > :03:11.bit more of a lead, because we are not content with how things have
:03:12. > :03:15.been happening over in Mauritius. The question many people are asking
:03:16. > :03:21.is why now. A lot of time has passed. John McAreavey recently
:03:22. > :03:25.remarried, and here in Mauritius there is absolutely no sign of a

:03:42. > :03:44.his visit here could save things. We need to appeal to the people of
:03:45. > :03:50.Mauritius. We felt that the biggest way to achieve that was to get on a
:03:51. > :03:56.plane and get out there. Five years ago, two hotel workers were found

:06:41. > :06:45.not want these to jeopardise peace in Ireland. That was something

:06:55. > :06:59.The issue of Northern Ireland is being given special consideration by
:07:00. > :07:06.the 27. We know the sensitivities that exist on the Irish issue, and
:07:07. > :07:13.we are looking at innovative, creative and pragmatic solutions to
:07:14. > :07:18.see that the peace and stability on the Irish Isle are maintained. Said
:07:19. > :07:24.the draft guidelines talk about flexible and imaginative solutions,
:07:25. > :07:29.what they mean? Think it is all about customs. As part of Brexit,
:07:30. > :07:36.the UK will move out of the EU customs. Nobody wants to see a
:07:37. > :07:39.return to a hard border, a return to customs posts, but at the moment we
:07:40. > :07:43.don't know how exactly that will be achieved, so that is what the EU is
:07:44. > :07:49.talking about when they are saying these innovative solutions. One
:07:50. > :07:53.important caveat they say that one of the things they come up with, it
:07:54. > :07:56.must be meaningful in force in. What do we know about the practical
:07:57. > :08:02.arrangements for border checks, customs checks? HMRC are working on
:08:03. > :08:07.a new computer system called the customs declaration system. Towards
:08:08. > :08:10.the end of last year they said it was going swimmingly, not a problem
:08:11. > :08:13.with it, more recently they have said that project is in doubt, it
:08:14. > :08:18.faces major risks and requires urgent action. MPs are getting a bit
:08:19. > :08:23.concerned about that, and today the Treasury Select Committee said they
:08:24. > :08:26.would write to HMRC AA Gent to see what is happening with this customs
:08:27. > :08:32.declaration system. Will it even be ready in time for Brexit, which is
:08:33. > :08:36.in two years' time. The guidelines talk about existing arrangements
:08:37. > :08:40.between the public Ireland and the UK, what other talking about there?
:08:41. > :08:47.It allows British and Irish citizens to move freely between the two
:08:48. > :08:49.islands and to move north and south. Essentially the EU are saying they
:08:50. > :08:53.are happy that arrangement continues.
:08:54. > :08:55.The Secretary of State James Brokenshire has invited the Stormont
:08:56. > :09:02.parties to another round of talks starting on Monday next week.
:09:03. > :09:07.Some of the parties criticised the last talks process saying
:09:08. > :09:09.the discussions were not structured or focused.
:09:10. > :09:13.and Irish governments say they want fresh talks to have an agreed agenda
:09:14. > :09:17.In an interview for BBC Radio Ulster's Inside Politics programme,
:09:18. > :09:20.Mr Brokenshire said there's no plan to bring in an independent
:09:21. > :09:30.I think, at this stage, where we have a relatively defined group of
:09:31. > :09:34.issues, to bring someone new into the process, not familiar with the
:09:35. > :09:37.discussions that have taken place, not familiar with those key issues
:09:38. > :09:42.and what people have said I think would be very challenging and very
:09:43. > :09:45.difficult. And, as I have indicated, we have this short window of
:09:46. > :09:49.opportunity through until Easter, when I then have to start to make
:09:50. > :09:52.final and firm decisions as to what legislation may need to be post the
:09:53. > :09:54.Easter recess. You're watching BBC Newsline
:09:55. > :10:01.and still to come... 20 years on, Ulster's most
:10:02. > :10:03.successful Gaelic club celebrates its breakthrough
:10:04. > :10:05.All-Ireland title - A year ago, all of our local
:10:06. > :10:19.hospitals went 'smoke-free' - staff, patients and visitors
:10:20. > :10:21.were banned from lighting The Western Trust first
:10:22. > :10:24.adopted the policy in 2014. Linzi Lima has been finding out
:10:25. > :10:40.if people are adhering to the ban. National no smoking Day 2016. Health
:10:41. > :10:43.trusts here declared themselves smoke-free zones. Smoking is not
:10:44. > :10:51.allowed anywhere on hospital grounds. A year on, has the banned
:10:52. > :10:57.made any difference? It is a constant ongoing problem. The fact
:10:58. > :11:00.we went smoke-free last year 2016, it is a slow work improve gross but
:11:01. > :11:10.it is still improving, which is the main thing. There is a Lotta Lois --
:11:11. > :11:15.slow working process. Joe is the smoking warden. It is his job to
:11:16. > :11:18.enforce the ban. There was no smoking on the grounds, OK? Just
:11:19. > :11:22.over there where the bin is. You just have to be compassionate with
:11:23. > :11:26.them. Some people might have had a relative that just died. They might
:11:27. > :11:30.have been told they have a terminal bonus, so you have to be
:11:31. > :11:35.compassionate on your approach and have sympathy with them, do you know
:11:36. > :11:39.what I mean? The smoke-free policy is a ministerial directive, not law,
:11:40. > :11:44.meaning those lighting up on hospital grounds may be asked to put
:11:45. > :11:47.it out but won't face prosecution. We are certainly seeing an
:11:48. > :11:52.improvement on all of our sites. Although, I have to say, and be
:11:53. > :11:56.totally honest, that it is still a challenge, and particularly a
:11:57. > :12:02.challenge on our big sites such as the Royal and the City foster
:12:03. > :12:04.opinion on those sites is divided. Maybe not on their sides at the
:12:05. > :12:10.front of the hospital but there should be somewhere for long stay
:12:11. > :12:14.patients who do require the smoke. People who smoke and are in
:12:15. > :12:21.hospital, what do they do? It is very difficult. For visitors, yes,
:12:22. > :12:27.no problem. I think it is pretty good, like. Especially when I am on
:12:28. > :12:30.the cancer ward. I think they should have an allocated area for them,
:12:31. > :12:36.maybe not just at the front door because sometimes it is busy and you
:12:37. > :12:41.try to get by them. I don't smoke personally, so not favourable!
:12:42. > :12:43.Undoubtedly at entrances and grounds at some hospitals, people are still
:12:44. > :12:49.smoking. We have seen the evidence here. The trust still say their
:12:50. > :12:54.policy is working and those numbers are rejoicing. Through the use of a
:12:55. > :12:55.warden and education policy, they hope those numbers will reduce even
:12:56. > :13:01.further. Farmers near a County Armagh
:13:02. > :13:03.reservoir are being offered an alternative to spraying rushes
:13:04. > :13:10.on their land. The pilot project is run
:13:11. > :13:13.by Northern Ireland Water and the Ulster Farmers' Union,
:13:14. > :13:15.and it aims to stop herbicides It's a problem in several areas,
:13:16. > :13:19.and it means the water needs expensive treatment before it can be
:13:20. > :13:22.pumped to the public. Here's our Agriculture
:13:23. > :13:35.and Environment Correspondent Carl McCall kills rushes for two
:13:36. > :13:39.reasons, it improves his land and makes more of it eligible for
:13:40. > :13:45.subsidy payments. Farmers used to spray rushes with a herbicide. But
:13:46. > :13:52.in some places, high concentrations were turning up in our reservoirs,
:13:53. > :13:57.like here in County Armagh. So 120 farmers in this catchment are being
:13:58. > :14:03.offered an alternative. Instead of spraying, a different pesticide is
:14:04. > :14:07.put on with a roller, a much more targeted application. We think that
:14:08. > :14:14.this way we can do it more cost effectively, and probably help the
:14:15. > :14:17.environment along the way. Cost is a big consideration for Northern
:14:18. > :14:20.Ireland water too, they have had to put in special filters at more than
:14:21. > :14:24.half of their water treatment plants and they are not cheap, ?5 million
:14:25. > :14:29.in one facility alone last year. Each tank contains three metres of
:14:30. > :14:36.granulated carbon, which strips out the pesticides as the water
:14:37. > :14:39.percolates through. The quality leaving the water works is great but
:14:40. > :14:45.the quality going in the treatment because of the high levels of it, so
:14:46. > :14:50.we're trying to reduce those levels to make the water better quality,
:14:51. > :14:54.more environmentally friendly and have lower cost at our water
:14:55. > :14:58.treatment production as well. Our rivers and lakes are not in a great
:14:59. > :15:04.shape when set against EU standards, and this pilot project does replace
:15:05. > :15:08.it with a herbicide that has been subject of much debate over its
:15:09. > :15:13.safety. We will continue to follow the scientists everywhere, they have
:15:14. > :15:19.already stated from the research work they have done that it is an
:15:20. > :15:22.absolutely safe chemical. Northern Ireland water says it breaks down
:15:23. > :15:27.much more clearly in water, a matter of days instead of blocks turn
:15:28. > :15:32.weeks. They have reassured the public that herbicides instead -- in
:15:33. > :15:35.raw water do not pose a threat because the treated water coming out
:15:36. > :15:38.of people's taps is they routinely high standard.
:15:39. > :15:40.The new Computer Science building at Queen's University
:15:41. > :15:51.It's taken three years and ?14 million to complete.
:15:52. > :15:53.The university says it'll make Belfast an international
:15:54. > :16:07.It is eye-catching and colourful on the outside, and on the inside it is
:16:08. > :16:10.about as far away as you can get from a draughty lecture hall.
:16:11. > :16:16.Students love the space, it feels like a natural space. They sit here,
:16:17. > :16:20.code, work on hardware assignments. But there is a purpose behind all
:16:21. > :16:24.the plants and games machines. The one unique thing that this building
:16:25. > :16:27.allows us to do is to work in an environment which is very similar to
:16:28. > :16:33.the environment they will find when they find a job outside University.
:16:34. > :16:37.So we mimic corporate environments in some sense. We have these
:16:38. > :16:42.creative spaces. Some employers are also based in the building, teaching
:16:43. > :16:48.over 1000 students about the world of work and talent spotting. We
:16:49. > :16:53.would take in place to 80 computer science and other graduates each
:16:54. > :16:59.year, in addition to 30 placement students, giving them, building upon
:17:00. > :17:04.the degree and the skill sets they have learned here at Queens
:17:05. > :17:08.University. Queens say they plan to invest ?200 million in new buildings
:17:09. > :17:11.like this over the next five years, but they have also recently lobbied
:17:12. > :17:16.for more public subsidy and higher tuition fees from students. Given
:17:17. > :17:20.they have all those millions, why? That is because we have actually
:17:21. > :17:26.used that public money very wisely. The level of investment in our
:17:27. > :17:29.universities in Northern Ireland is now some 25% lower than universities
:17:30. > :17:34.in England, Wales and Scotland, and we are falling further and further
:17:35. > :17:39.behind. We actually cannot become a prosperous society until we really
:17:40. > :17:42.address this issue. It is critical. There are local challenges but also
:17:43. > :17:47.global once right universities. Brexit is set to make it more
:17:48. > :17:50.difficult for them to bring in University International staff and
:17:51. > :17:56.students. Queens will hope that state-of-the-art facilities like
:17:57. > :17:57.this ensure they remain a attractive destination after the UK leaves the
:17:58. > :18:01.EU. In sport this weekend,
:18:02. > :18:04.we have some big games in Gaelic But Stephen Watson begins
:18:05. > :18:08.with local football. It's Irish cup semi-finals
:18:09. > :18:13.weekend in local football. Both games are tomorrow -
:18:14. > :18:16.the opener sees Linfield play Dungannon Swifts at three
:18:17. > :18:18.o'clock at Mourneview Park. That's followed by the meeting
:18:19. > :18:21.of Coleraine and holders Glenavon Oran Kearney's Coleraine are now
:18:22. > :18:32.unbeaten in their last 14 outings and have a old-boy back
:18:33. > :18:44.in the team with Cup pedigree. When the season started, Eoin
:18:45. > :18:49.Bradley would have fancied his chances of making an Irish cup
:18:50. > :18:54.final. He played in it last year. Watched this for a ball from Eoin
:18:55. > :18:59.Bradley. And his impressive form continued this is an for Glen Abbey,
:19:00. > :19:02.but now he is at Coleraine come for the second time, and tomorrow he
:19:03. > :19:07.will play against his team-mates from just three months ago. Looking
:19:08. > :19:11.forward to playing against them, I was up there for two and a half
:19:12. > :19:17.years. -- Glenavon. I am looking forward to getting one over on them.
:19:18. > :19:20.Throughout the six and a half years owing to any has been the manager at
:19:21. > :19:24.the club there has been the good and the bad. The clubs and the have
:19:25. > :19:28.stuck by their manager and today they are flying high, so much in
:19:29. > :19:31.fact that the league season started at the start of the year, Coleraine
:19:32. > :19:37.would be top but tomorrow they take on the recent cup specialists.
:19:38. > :19:40.Bradley again. They are very competitive and they have a really
:19:41. > :19:43.good manager. They have won it twice in the last three years, and there
:19:44. > :19:47.are lots of players who will have medals in their pockets who will
:19:48. > :19:50.come to play against us on Saturday. They have the big game experience
:19:51. > :19:54.and they have been there and got the T-shirt. We have a group of players
:19:55. > :20:01.hungry to do that so it is up to us to make sure that happens. A buzz
:20:02. > :20:07.about the place. Probably the biggest crowd we have had. A good
:20:08. > :20:11.buzz about the players, management, everybody. It will not be easy but
:20:12. > :20:18.we are all looking forward to it. For Glen Abbey, they are hoping for
:20:19. > :20:19.a third Irish cup in four years, a cup Coleraine have not won since
:20:20. > :20:29.2003. You can watch the game live on the
:20:30. > :20:33.BBC Sport Northern Ireland Facebook page tomorrow at 5:15pm. Plus
:20:34. > :20:35.highlights of the first semifinal. Both games are live

:20:39. > :20:41.Celtic are on the cusp of another Celtic take on Hearts on Sunday,
:20:42. > :20:45.but if Aberdeen lose at Dundee tonight, they'll be crowned
:20:46. > :20:48.champions, with nine games to go. The Carnlough man's been reflecting
:20:49. > :21:02.on a remarkable season. It has been a great season so far.
:21:03. > :21:09.More importantly, I have really enjoyed my time here, myself and my
:21:10. > :21:14.staff. We came up here last season, we were really looking forward to
:21:15. > :21:19.the season ahead, many challenges, but it couldn't have gone much
:21:20. > :21:23.better for us. So no, everything has been great around the football club.
:21:24. > :21:27.There has been a real energy around it, which is fantastic, and outside

:22:47. > :22:51.two decades ago? Certainly not. People ask if I had known then what

:22:55. > :22:59.young lad started it off and it has been unbelievable. No one will ever

:24:18. > :24:22.not just one but six All-Irelands. Four clubs watching and who have not

:24:45. > :24:49.football. What are you reckon now about the modern game as we look
:24:50. > :24:52.into this closing weekend? Both games are poles apart. I don't know
:24:53. > :24:55.if I would survive in modern-day football. Why don't know if a lot of
:24:56. > :25:02.players playing today would. It is different but still very watchable.
