:05:56. > :06:04.It would have been in the mid 80s, we were on holiday in Belfast
:06:05. > :06:13.and two detectives from the RUC came to talk to me and on that day,
:06:14. > :06:23.I admitted I had interfered with a boy at Bawnmore,
:06:24. > :06:34.From there, he made a further admission.
:06:35. > :06:37.He wrote to the RUC telling them he'd abused a third boy -
:06:38. > :06:44.this time a Boys Brigade camp in Newcastle, County Down.
:06:45. > :06:53.When I was in Northern Ireland, I omitted to mention a boy that
:06:54. > :06:55.I had interfered with sexually, and I wanted to deal
:06:56. > :07:00.with everything, and so I wrote to them and admitted
:07:01. > :07:04.that there was another boy that I had missed,
:07:05. > :07:06.or omitted telling them about, and asked them to take
:07:07. > :07:17.Well, I realised at that time my behaviour was wrong
:07:18. > :07:27.And I believe that, in my mind, that I would probably finish up
:07:28. > :07:31.going to prison or something of that nature, but there
:07:32. > :07:40.This time, the police didn't even attempt to have him prosecuted.
:07:41. > :07:44.And not only did they fail to press charges, they also failed to tell
:07:45. > :07:48.the Canadian authorities that there was a self-confessed paedophile
:07:49. > :07:57.living in their jurisdiction - much to Henry Clarke's surprise.
:07:58. > :08:00.So you thought that the RUC would have told the Canadian authorities?
:08:01. > :08:01.I did. I expected them to.
:08:02. > :08:09.Does it feel just to you that you have lived a full
:08:10. > :08:12.life here in Canada, while your victims'
:08:13. > :08:17.lives were blighted back in Northern Ireland by your actions?
:08:18. > :08:22.That I've had a good life and they've had a bad life?
:08:23. > :08:25.I hope they haven't had a bad life, I really do.
:08:26. > :08:36.I couldn't take it back and I was hoping that by my honesty
:08:37. > :08:39.that it would be dealt with and I would have the freedom
:08:40. > :08:46.I thought that the system would deal out to me
:08:47. > :08:57.And he should have had it done years ago.
:08:58. > :08:59.I can't understand it. Why?
:09:00. > :09:06.With no charges brought against him and the Canadian authorities
:09:07. > :09:09.unaware of his confessions, Henry Clarke continues to live
:09:10. > :09:13.out his life in Canada, where he has been a pastor
:09:14. > :09:15.for the past 30 years, moving around the country
:09:16. > :09:23.So Henry Clarke, having admitted child sex abuse

:19:26. > :19:28.The big difference with this initiative is that it provides that

:20:21. > :20:42.them into detailed 3-D What we are doing is 3-D printing
:20:43. > :20:49.something from patients's CT scans. We take a patient's CTD data made up
:20:50. > :20:52.of two slices and we reconstructed in the 3-D visualisation in the
:20:53. > :20:56.office to give to the surgeons. While they look at the three
:20:57. > :21:03.visualisation, we put it into the 3-D printer and it will reconstruct
:21:04. > :21:04.layer by layer at the CT scans to create one of physical model of a
:21:05. > :21:06.patient's pathology. And here's one of the surgeons who's
:21:07. > :21:18.recently started using the models. There is no surprises. We know
:21:19. > :21:23.exactly what we are getting. We have got a 3-D model there, we are not
:21:24. > :21:26.going to say we weren't expecting that bit of bone it to be there or
:21:27. > :21:28.that bit of bone to be somewhere else. We know exactly what we are
:21:29. > :21:29.getting. There were about 45,000 3-D printers
:21:30. > :21:31.sold worldwide last year. The cheapest ones, for home use,
:21:32. > :21:38.can be had for under ?200. There are also big industrial
:21:39. > :21:41.printers used by major companies, So is there much scope for local

:22:05. > :22:08.prototypes quickly and efficiently and to bring it to their customers
:22:09. > :22:13.for review. If the customer doesn't like it, they can quickly go back
:22:14. > :22:17.and change the design and reproduce a new prototype. In the past that
:22:18. > :22:18.may have taken months, with 3-D printing that can take a matter of

:23:23. > :23:26.and had a couple of good trips. I have played a lot of golf around
:23:27. > :23:30.here. Mentally, I am in a good place, my game is any good shape, it

:23:48. > :23:53.interview, he knows what's within touching distance. It would be a
:23:54. > :23:58.lifelong dream, to be the best golfer in the world and win majors.
:23:59. > :24:01.I have done most of that and this would honestly complete that. It
:24:02. > :24:05.would pick me any place in golf history that very few people have
:24:06. > :24:09.gone before. I realise that, but I have two park that someone else this
:24:10. > :24:12.week and just try in women's golf tournament. If I do that, all that
:24:13. > :24:21.other stuff will take care of itself. McIlroy has had a chance to
:24:22. > :24:29.win the Masters before. In 2011, he blew a four shot a final-round lead.
:24:30. > :24:32.But that experience was all part of the learning curve. I have to treat
:24:33. > :24:37.it as a single goal to lament and not think about the consequences. I
:24:38. > :24:42.want to win a green jacket and that would be the same whether I am going
:24:43. > :24:45.for a slam or my first major arm attends major. I just want to win
:24:46. > :24:50.the Masters. It is the only one that's missing. And I may feel some
:24:51. > :24:55.work pressure because of that, at the same time, everyone I have
:24:56. > :24:58.beaten before in this field and I might necessarily not to beat them
:24:59. > :25:05.around as golf course, I feel I have the ability to. McIlroy was one of
:25:06. > :25:11.just the few golfers to squeeze in nine holes and a very early practice
:25:12. > :25:15.this morning before the threat of thunder and lightning meant because
:25:16. > :25:20.it had to be evacuated. If McIlroy is to try and win the Masters at his
:25:21. > :25:23.ninth attempt, it's not just the mental pressure and the expectation
:25:24. > :25:26.he will have to battle but the windy weather.
:25:27. > :25:34.Angie Phillips is here with the latest weather news.
:25:35. > :25:39.Lots of dry weather it still in the forecast over the next few days
:25:40. > :25:44.because we have high pressure in charge at the moment and to date
:25:45. > :25:49.that high was centred to the south-west of it. That meant we had
:25:50. > :25:53.a slow around this northern edge coming off the Atlantic which
:25:54. > :25:56.brought moisture in the form of cloud and that cloud was big enough
:25:57. > :26:01.to give a futurist during the first part of the day. The cloud by no
:26:02. > :26:07.means solid, some breaks here and there, particularly in eastern areas
:26:08. > :26:12.and towards the north coast. Finally forgetting it in the water there.
:26:13. > :26:16.Back to this evening and one or two bright intervals but generally a lot
:26:17. > :26:21.of cloud. Once again through the night that cloud will close in
:26:22. > :26:25.places. Clear it does over the hills and the north, odd pockets of
:26:26. > :26:31.gazelle. For many of us, the dry weather holds and it will be a mild
:26:32. > :26:34.night with loads of six 8 degrees. Tomorrow, mucking around with cloud
:26:35. > :26:40.once again. Large amounts of cloud, but that mainly dry steam is with
:26:41. > :26:44.us. If you have some dreadful first thing in the morning, it would be
:26:45. > :26:50.long before they fade away and things become largely drive.
:26:51. > :26:54.Hopefully the cloud Wilson out at times, lifting up as we go through
:26:55. > :27:00.the afternoon, particularly late afternoon. We may see a few bright
:27:01. > :27:03.intervals. Temperatures 11, 12 degrees, possibly a degree higher
:27:04. > :27:08.somewhere in the east if we get those bright spells. That takes us
:27:09. > :27:13.into tomorrow night, a lot of cloud around which could thicken to bring
:27:14. > :27:19.some drizzle. A frost free night. Friday, doing it on again. A few
:27:20. > :27:23.patches of drizzle in the morning, thicker cloud and then as it dies
:27:24. > :27:29.away in the afternoon, we see some bright or sigh intervals starting to
:27:30. > :27:33.break through. Towards the weekend, it is not until later on Sunday some
:27:34. > :27:37.rain on the way. Variable cloud and a few bright spells.
:27:38. > :27:39.Our late summary is at half past ten.
