Tributes have been paid to the former Bishop of Derry,

:00:00.:00:11.

Dr Edward Daly, who's died at the age of 82.

:00:12.:00:13.

He was well known for his role in helping the victims

:00:14.:00:17.

on Bloody Sunday, and for his work in trying to bring

:00:18.:00:20.

Our north west correspondent Keiron Tourish has been

:00:21.:00:23.

Its an enduring image - a Catholic priest waving a

:00:24.:00:29.

blood-stained hankerchief as he led away dying teenager Jackie Duddy

:00:30.:00:32.

on Bloody Sunday - a day in 1972 when the Army killed 13

:00:33.:00:36.

It was completely outrageous, disgraceful.

:00:37.:01:12.

You are quite sure nothing was fired at them first?

:01:13.:01:17.

I can speak of this without any difficulty, because I was there.

:01:18.:01:34.

Born in 1933, Edward Daly grew up in Fermanagh, and in 1974

:01:35.:01:37.

He was never afraid to speak out against violence and injustice

:01:38.:01:41.

He banned paramilitary trappings at funerals,

:01:42.:01:43.

and said at one stage the IRA was involved

:01:44.:01:46.

He also urged Martin McGuinness to use his influence with the IRA

:01:47.:01:50.

alongside his Church of Ireland counterpart Bishop James Mehaffey -

:01:51.:02:08.

both were awarded the Freedom of the City in 2015.

:02:09.:02:16.

He retired as Bishop in 1993 after suffering a stroke,

:02:17.:02:19.

but continued the fight for a full inquiry into Bloody Sunday.

:02:20.:02:23.

He welcomed the innocence of the victims being

:02:24.:02:25.

declared at the publication of the Saville report in 2010.

:02:26.:02:29.

He was such a wonderful man, such a special

:02:30.:02:35.

person, particularly to our family, because of what he did

:02:36.:02:38.

He was with Jackie in his dying moments and give him his last

:02:39.:02:42.

rites, and he was the last person to speak with him,

:02:43.:02:45.

Perhaps Bishop Daly's greatest personal fulfillment

:02:46.:02:55.

was in the Foyle Hospice, where he ministered to the dying

:02:56.:02:58.

and their relatives and where he reflected on his

:02:59.:03:00.

I think the lesson that life has taught me is

:03:01.:03:05.

the futility of violence and the waste that it is,

:03:06.:03:07.

and the sacredness of every human life.

:03:08.:03:13.

The body of Bishop Edward Daly will be brought to St Eugene's Cathedral

:03:14.:03:20.

ahead of his funeral this Thursday afternoon.

:03:21.:03:53.

Our home affairs correspondent Vincent Kearney reports.

:03:54.:03:57.

John Boreland's killer was lying in wait.

:03:58.:03:58.

He was shot several times from close range with a shot gun when he got

:03:59.:04:02.

Police today said the former senior UDA member had known

:04:03.:04:06.

John was aware that he was subject to a threat, and he was aware over

:04:07.:04:14.

recent months that was a real threat, and he took some measures

:04:15.:04:17.

The 46-year-old father of three survived an attack two years ago,

:04:18.:04:29.

believed to have been carried out by former associates within the UDA.

:04:30.:04:32.

Police say the possible involvement of UDA members in his killing

:04:33.:04:35.

The officer leading the investigation appealed to anyone

:04:36.:04:38.

with information that may help catch the killers to come forward.

:04:39.:04:48.

I am very keen to contact the drivers of some vehicles -

:04:49.:04:51.

a motor bike, a silver Renault Megane, and a black Peugeot.

:04:52.:05:03.

The area around his home remained sealed off today

:05:04.:05:05.

as forensic officers searched for evidence.

:05:06.:05:06.

Police say they will deploy extra patrols in north Belfast

:05:07.:05:09.

in an effort to reduce the possibility of retaliation.

:05:10.:05:20.

Shortly before four o'clock this afternoon, a police forensics van

:05:21.:05:23.

A short time later, John Boreland's car was pulled on board.

:05:24.:05:26.

It was taken away for forensic testing.

:05:27.:05:33.

This killing has ignited fears of a feud between rival

:05:34.:05:36.

The police have appealed for calm and say that they hope

:05:37.:05:39.

their decision to put extra officers on the ground in the days

:05:40.:05:42.

and weeks ahead will reduce the possibility of further violence.

:05:43.:05:51.

Belfast boxer Paddy Barnes has suffered a shock

:05:52.:05:53.

The light-flyweight blamed weight problems after being knocked out

:05:54.:05:59.

of the tournament by Spain's Samuel Carmona.

:06:00.:06:01.

Barnes told Stephen Watson he was devastated.

:06:02.:06:08.

I really believed for it to be taken away from me in the first hurdle, it

:06:09.:06:16.

is heartbreaking. I think, there is no way I could have handled more. Is

:06:17.:06:24.

there another Olympics in Paddy Burns I don't think but there is

:06:25.:06:27.

After a wild weekend of weather it has been a lot calmer today, it has

:06:28.:06:39.

been down to this area of high pressure giving protection today and

:06:40.:06:42.

tomorrow, by the end of the week, well, I am afraid there is rain

:06:43.:06:46.

creeping in from the Atlantic. Overnight, any remaining showers

:06:47.:06:50.

will fizzle out. A chilly night under the clear skies. Temperatures

:06:51.:06:54.

down five or six degreeser but it sets up us for a nice day tomorrow,

:06:55.:06:59.

it will be dry, bright as we go through the morning, always the

:07:00.:07:02.

chance of a shower here and there, but for most people, for most of the

:07:03.:07:05.

day, I think it is going to be pretty good. Temperatures a little

:07:06.:07:10.

cooler than we have seen, today, so highs of 15 or 16 degrees and a bit

:07:11.:07:15.

of a breeze too. Northern Ireland is definitely in the cooler zone of

:07:16.:07:18.

weather, if we take the wider view you can see the breeze and showers

:07:19.:07:28.

coming in from the north north-west.ss as we go through

:07:29.:07:32.

Tuesday and overnight the rain starts to move?. It is the start of

:07:33.:07:36.

a change in weather. As we go into Wednesday, a greyer duller feel as

:07:37.:07:40.

that rain continues through the day. Temperatures again, in the middle

:07:41.:07:43.

teens so a bright couple of days to start the week, things going down

:07:44.:07:45.

hill a little bit towards the end. Our next BBC Newsline is at 6:25am
