:00:00. > :00:11.A parade by army veterans at Belfast City Hall and a Republican

:00:12. > :00:14.counter parade have passed off without incident.

:00:15. > :00:32.They came in their hundreds to City Hall - veterans in protest at

:00:33. > :00:37.demonstrating against investigations into yeah troubles related killings

:00:38. > :00:41.by soldiers. Many here have served during the height of the Trouble.

:00:42. > :00:48.I think it is important to be here today. There is a perception within

:00:49. > :00:52.the veterans' community that all of these enquiries are being focused on

:00:53. > :00:56.ex-servicemen. There has to be equality and fairness for everyone.

:00:57. > :01:00.Across the road, a Republican counterprotest was halted in its

:01:01. > :01:05.tracks by police in line with the Parades Commission determination.

:01:06. > :01:08.Among the protesters were high-profile Republicans, including

:01:09. > :01:14.Colin Duffy, seen here on the right. We have a right to walk. They have a

:01:15. > :01:22.right to protest. Because we fought for their right to protest! We

:01:23. > :01:25.fought for their freedom of speech. Separate from the parade were

:01:26. > :01:33.families of 11 people killed by the army in Bala Murphy in 1971.

:01:34. > :01:37.The day has been an emotional day. There has been a peaceful protest

:01:38. > :01:40.across the road which made a point. Our loved ones were murdered 46

:01:41. > :01:44.years ago. We believe that those who break the

:01:45. > :01:47.law should face the law, be they soldiers, policemen, members of the

:01:48. > :01:54.public, or be they politicians. If you break the law, you face the law.

:01:55. > :01:59.That is our message. But what we feel is a disproportionate focus on

:02:00. > :02:01.killings carried out by the military during the Troubles than there is a

:02:02. > :02:03.disproportionate focus on killings carried out by the military during

:02:04. > :02:05.the Troubles down barriers against the terrorists.

:02:06. > :02:06.Wide despite some concerns, the rally and counterprotest passed off

:02:07. > :02:08.peacefully. Over 1,000 police officers

:02:09. > :02:10.are taking legal action against the Chief Constable

:02:11. > :02:12.over holiday pay. The officers claim they're owed

:02:13. > :02:15.money going back almost 20 years. The action, if successful,

:02:16. > :02:29.could cost the service this case has revealed today by the

:02:30. > :02:33.BBC is about working overtime, like many of these offices here and join,

:02:34. > :02:39.during an outbreak of trouble in 2010. It follows a landmark ruling

:02:40. > :02:43.known as Bear Scotland when judges decided that employees regularly

:02:44. > :02:46.required to work extra hours should receive more holiday pay.

:02:47. > :02:51.People will say that we are getting well paid for it. But you cannot buy

:02:52. > :02:55.back time, and that is one thing when you get longer into duty you

:02:56. > :03:00.realise. But in those days you had to do it, it was a requirement to do

:03:01. > :03:04.it to keep Northern Ireland literally in some sort of peace.

:03:05. > :03:09.By the claims are retrospective. Lawyers believe they could stretch

:03:10. > :03:14.back to 1998. Work and pay regulations were introduced into the

:03:15. > :03:18.UK. The Deputy Chief Constable has issued a statement saying the case

:03:19. > :03:20.has come at a time when she has to manage to guess resources. Is this

:03:21. > :03:25.the potential amount of money involved would have a serious impact

:03:26. > :03:29.on policing here in Northern Ireland. He also said he understood

:03:30. > :03:33.why PSNI officers are trying to find out what their overtime entitlements

:03:34. > :03:38.are. The case will be heard at the High Court after Easter. In England

:03:39. > :03:40.and Wales, the local police forces and Police Federation and there have

:03:41. > :03:42.already settled the issue. More than 100 relatives

:03:43. > :03:44.of passengers who were on board the Titanic gathered in Belfast

:03:45. > :03:47.today to mark the 105th anniversary It was organised by the

:03:48. > :03:51.great grandson of the man who was at the helm of the liner

:03:52. > :04:07.when it struck the iceberg. Relatives of passengers on board the

:04:08. > :04:11.Titanic brought together by Simon Medhurst. He collected Titanic

:04:12. > :04:17.memorabilia for years, but it was only when he met his birth father in

:04:18. > :04:20.2012 that he discovered he was the great-grandson of one of the

:04:21. > :04:25.quartermasters of ship. It was a complete turnaround in my

:04:26. > :04:31.life, from collecting to suddenly being somebody who was connected

:04:32. > :04:34.with Titanic. He was one of six quartermasters on the Titanic and at

:04:35. > :04:40.the helm when it hit the iceberg. His duty was from 10-12 and it was

:04:41. > :04:45.11:40 when it hit the iceberg. He was told to get into lifeboat six.

:04:46. > :04:48.More than 100 years on from the sinking of the Titanic, new pieces

:04:49. > :04:52.of the story, like this personage was actually on board the ship, are

:04:53. > :04:56.still coming together. I've got my great-grandmother's

:04:57. > :05:00.purse, which she had for years before that and took on the Titanic.

:05:01. > :05:04.My grandmother handed down to me she died. There was a sapphire and

:05:05. > :05:07.diamond necklace which my great grandfather gave to my

:05:08. > :05:10.great-grandmother on board the Titanic with the same colours as the

:05:11. > :05:15.one in the movie. After digging into their family

:05:16. > :05:20.history, many people here have found new relative.

:05:21. > :05:23.Every time I meet somebody knew, I find out something new. I have a

:05:24. > :05:27.relative here that I have never met before!

:05:28. > :05:31.I found my third cousin here, and she is here is!

:05:32. > :05:37.A commemoration service will be held tomorrow at Belfast City Hall.

:05:38. > :05:39.Memories bringing people together. Some of the works of a famous

:05:40. > :05:42.Italian painter, many with a biblical theme,

:05:43. > :05:44.are on display at the Caravaggio, who died in 1610,

:05:45. > :05:47.was seen as unconventional inside Our Dublin Correspondent,

:05:48. > :05:51.Shane Harrison, went to see the exhibition which has been

:05:52. > :06:04.attracting a lot of visitors. This is what they'll see - four

:06:05. > :06:08.paintings by Caravaggio himself, including the Taking of Christ, the

:06:09. > :06:13.whereabouts of which were unknown for 200 years and only rediscovered

:06:14. > :06:17.in 1990 in a residence in Dublin. Caravaggio was very different from

:06:18. > :06:23.other artists of the time in the way he used light and painted ordinary

:06:24. > :06:26.people, as opposed to idealised versions.

:06:27. > :06:29.He broke all the rules instead of careful drawing and academic

:06:30. > :06:36.training, he was literally working from the model. He was painting

:06:37. > :06:39.straight on the canvas. And particularly using dramatic effects

:06:40. > :06:46.of light and dark in order to make his paintings more dramatic.

:06:47. > :06:51.The exhibition includes the work of 30 other artists influenced by

:06:52. > :06:57.Caravaggio, including gentle ski's painting of the holy family's rest

:06:58. > :07:02.on the flight into Egypt. Other artists featured follow Caravaggio's

:07:03. > :07:05.lead in painting tavern scenes. Nowadays he sometimes seen as a gay

:07:06. > :07:12.icon who lived even by the standards of artists and unconventional life -

:07:13. > :07:17.including having a Pope give him the death sentence for murder.

:07:18. > :07:21.Caravaggio, he is a three-dimensional character. We have

:07:22. > :07:25.peace records and arrests for brawling and attacking other

:07:26. > :07:30.artists. Famously, the jewel where he actually kill someone and has to

:07:31. > :07:35.flee Rome in 1606. So he's a very lively personality. It certainly

:07:36. > :07:42.comes over in his portraits. The exhibition as openers or maybe

:07:43. > :07:44.14. -- the exhibition is open until May 14.

:07:45. > :07:46.Banbridge hockey team lost 3-0 to Racing Club of France

:07:47. > :07:48.in a penalty shootout in the European League.

:07:49. > :07:51.Banbridge were appearing in the last 16 of the tournament

:07:52. > :07:55.But Matthew Allister, levelled - scoring into an empty net

:07:56. > :07:59.17-year-old Banbridge Academy student Luke Roleston was in goals

:08:00. > :08:02.but alas it wasn't to be for Banbridge as the French side

:08:03. > :08:04.held their nerve scoring all of their penalties.

:08:05. > :08:20.Good evening. It wasn't such a great start to Good Friday, but the rain

:08:21. > :08:23.has been claiming away and it's better evening. Some bright spells

:08:24. > :08:27.around. Still a scattering of showers but we will find those

:08:28. > :08:30.easing back towards the north through the night. Many inland areas

:08:31. > :08:38.will end up dry fairly clear as well. Also called. -- also very

:08:39. > :08:43.cold. In the countryside, it is likely to be freezing. With ground

:08:44. > :08:48.frost come tomorrow morning. Bright and breezy tomorrow with a few

:08:49. > :08:51.showers. Initially towards the north, showers will start to drift

:08:52. > :08:54.inland through the course of the morning. As they think southwards in

:08:55. > :09:00.the afternoon, they're breaking up and eventually fizzle away. We get

:09:01. > :09:05.some sunshine coming in between the showers, but temperatures of

:09:06. > :09:08.10-11Celsius and feeling cool in the breeze. Through tomorrow night,

:09:09. > :09:12.increasing cloud bringing wetter weather. That's likely to linger at

:09:13. > :09:18.least until the first part of Easter Sunday. A damp dart. It would peel

:09:19. > :09:23.shipwrights and from the -- it should brighten from the start. As

:09:24. > :09:28.we start the new week, Easter Monday and Tuesday are not looking too bad.

:09:29. > :09:29.Dry with chilly spells but a chilly start in the morning.
