success. Britain's Mark Cavendish has won a silver

A teenage boy is critically ill after a collision involving a lorry

:00:11.:00:14.

in Poleglass this afternoon when the incident happened.

:00:15.:00:21.

The boy is being treated at the Royal Victoria Hospital in

:00:22.:00:23.

Brian's Well Road and Pembrook Loop remain closed

:00:24.:00:26.

There has been a serious collision involving a tractor and another

:00:27.:00:40.

It happened near Hilltown at around six

:00:41.:00:43.

The Bryansford Road is closed with traffic diversions

:00:44.:00:46.

There are no further details at the moment.

:00:47.:00:48.

Social workers have described as shocking

:00:49.:00:50.

the content of a report into child protection.

:00:51.:00:52.

The report follows an independent review of the Safeguarding Board

:00:53.:00:54.

It has been criticised for not sharing vital information in some

:00:55.:00:58.

cases and for failing to set up a panel to examine

:00:59.:01:01.

Our health correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly has the story.

:01:02.:01:15.

In 2012, the safeguarding board was established. Made up of

:01:16.:01:20.

representatives including the police, health trusts and social

:01:21.:01:24.

services, it aimed to establish greater communication between

:01:25.:01:26.

different groups sought to better protect children. However, an

:01:27.:01:32.

independent review led by Professor Alexis Jay said the board failed in

:01:33.:01:35.

what it was asked to do. It is a highly critical report which I led

:01:36.:01:39.

to the board spent too much time on wrong issues, that tensions existed

:01:40.:01:43.

between those at the top and a lack of structure prevented vital

:01:44.:01:49.

information being shared. On that board, if the medical profession

:01:50.:01:51.

agreed to share with trusts, with everybody else, for example the

:01:52.:01:54.

mental health well-being of the parents and then that parent becomes

:01:55.:01:58.

unwell, that can share that information with the social worker

:01:59.:02:01.

who can name, for example, take preventative action. It is that

:02:02.:02:04.

critical sharing of information which makes is able to work more

:02:05.:02:07.

preventative late, rather than waiting until the incident happens.

:02:08.:02:11.

While the review does not say that children were harmed as a result of

:02:12.:02:17.

poor practice, it does say that the proper mechanisms were not in place

:02:18.:02:20.

for properly recording children's deaths. What she says in this report

:02:21.:02:24.

is that one, the child death overview panel had not been set up

:02:25.:02:29.

but secondly there are too many processes and a lot of confusion

:02:30.:02:32.

about who gets what information when a child dies, particularly when it

:02:33.:02:35.

is unexpected. That has to be streamlined and it has to be clearer

:02:36.:02:41.

what happens. The review makes 11 recommendations, including that the

:02:42.:02:45.

board is notified of all deaths and children who have been significantly

:02:46.:02:47.

harmed. Child protection must be clearly prioritised. A review of

:02:48.:02:54.

senior staff roles and grades should be undertaken immediately. And

:02:55.:02:57.

learning must be disseminated more quickly. The Department of Health

:02:58.:03:02.

says it has asked for all the recommendations to be fermented

:03:03.:03:03.

without delay. -- to be implemented. There has been a mixed reaction

:03:04.:03:08.

to the news that the Treasury will commit to guarantee direct

:03:09.:03:11.

payments to farmers until 2020. The Agriculture Minister Michelle

:03:12.:03:14.

McIlveen said it was a positive step while the Finance Minister Mairtin

:03:15.:03:16.

O'Muilleoir is concerned that peace and cross border projects not

:03:17.:03:20.

approved within the next Here's our political editor Mark

:03:21.:03:22.

Devenport. Northern Ireland gets ?230 million

:03:23.:03:32.

in direct farm payments from the European Union every year. That is

:03:33.:03:36.

around 10% of all such agricultural support across the UK. So, the

:03:37.:03:41.

Treasury's guarantee that it will cover those payments until 2020

:03:42.:03:46.

provides vital short-term relief for local farmers. The European Union's

:03:47.:03:51.

bees fund and roll high profile projects like the peace Bridge,

:03:52.:03:57.

whilst it is cross-border programme financed projects like the goblins

:03:58.:04:01.

walkway along the Antrim coast. The Chancellor has guaranteed his

:04:02.:04:06.

approval for Project fend off before his statement, due in November. But

:04:07.:04:11.

after that he will look at future schemes on a case-by-case basis. I

:04:12.:04:16.

have asked, the Irish government an Executive at last to have a

:04:17.:04:20.

guarantee that all peace and indirect funding will be fulfilled

:04:21.:04:24.

and honoured between now and 2020. Sadly, he has followed very far

:04:25.:04:28.

short of making that pledge. If we are not going to get proper

:04:29.:04:31.

consultation, I can see problems going forward. Really, the Executive

:04:32.:04:35.

need to up its game. There's a real plan in place and go across and

:04:36.:04:38.

negotiate with Westminster to get the best deal for Northern Ireland.

:04:39.:04:47.

Stormont ministers want to be fully engaged in the Brexit negotiations,

:04:48.:04:51.

but given the amount of competing interests that play, this probably

:04:52.:04:54.

will not be the last ten years than complaining about not being kept in

:04:55.:05:00.

the picture. -- the last time you hear them complaining.

:05:01.:05:01.

There's been an arson attack on an Orange hall

:05:02.:05:03.

Substantial damage was caused to the building near

:05:04.:05:06.

The Orange order says the roof was damaged and flutes,

:05:07.:05:09.

Salterstown Orange hall had been completely renovated two years ago.

:05:10.:05:13.

A fire at a derelict building in Sion Mills in County Tyrone

:05:14.:05:17.

The blaze at the former Herdman's Mill last

:05:18.:05:20.

There has been a series of arson attacks at the site in recent years,

:05:21.:05:24.

including two fires within the space of two days in June.

:05:25.:05:30.

At the Olympic Games today there was a shock for Team Ireland

:05:31.:05:33.

when the London 2012 gold Medallist boxer Katie Taylor was beaten.

:05:34.:05:37.

Distraught after a disappointing defeat. Katie Taylor was the golden

:05:38.:05:53.

girl of team Ireland four years ago. But she was dethroned after a tough

:05:54.:05:59.

first fight today. It has been a very tough year. I came in here, you

:06:00.:06:02.

know, prepared very well so I gave it my best shot and it just doesn't

:06:03.:06:06.

happen sometimes. That just leaves Michael Kohlmann to fly the flag for

:06:07.:06:10.

the boxers. The Belfast man is confident of still delivering gold.

:06:11.:06:15.

I love pressure and I love what it brings. It was a tough contest. My

:06:16.:06:21.

legs wanted to go to war and I wanted to box, so I got dragged into

:06:22.:06:25.

that and got into a war and it is what it is. I got the win and

:06:26.:06:29.

progressed to the next round and they will get better. And Michael is

:06:30.:06:32.

in the ring tomorrow, trying to salvage these games for a team

:06:33.:06:33.

Ireland's boxers. One football result tonight

:06:34.:06:35.

and in the Irish Premier Division it finished scoreless

:06:36.:06:38.

between Derry City and Cork City. Just time for a look

:06:39.:06:41.

at the weather now - If you mist out on the sunshine

:06:42.:06:54.

today, we have another day of it coming up tomorrow. It is a fine,

:06:55.:06:57.

clear night. Temperatures will fall away, especially in the countryside.

:06:58.:07:01.

They could well get into single figures, just about. So if you are

:07:02.:07:05.

camping it could be chilly enough later on tonight, and if you're up

:07:06.:07:09.

early tomorrow morning, it will be colossal. But, otherwise, a lovely

:07:10.:07:19.

data, lots of sunshine and warming up the pretty quickly. Any list will

:07:20.:07:21.

rapidly disappear. A southerly breeze which means the north coast

:07:22.:07:24.

will have some warm weather once again. Temperatures in the low 20s,

:07:25.:07:26.

possibly mid 20s. The Republic also having some lovely warm, sunny

:07:27.:07:29.

weather. A little bit cooler along Irish Sea caused because of the

:07:30.:07:32.

breeze coming off the sea but still very nice. And for many parts of

:07:33.:07:38.

Britain, it is also a fine day, temperatures in the law mid-20s.

:07:39.:07:42.

Just it could be warmer than today, temperatures possibly peaking at 24

:07:43.:07:45.

degrees. Enjoy it if you can. The rest of the week will not be quite

:07:46.:07:51.

so good. Still some warmth on Wednesday and a little sunshine.

:07:52.:07:56.

Our next BBC Newsline is at 6:25 in the morning
