:00:08. > :00:11.The Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness says his party
:00:12. > :00:15.colleague Mairtin O'Muilleoir has his full support and will not be
:00:16. > :00:21.The Assembly's Finance committee called for him to stand aside
:00:22. > :00:26.during an investigation into a secret contact
:00:27. > :00:29.between a witness to the committee's Nama inquiry and the man
:00:30. > :00:31.who was chairing the committee at the time -
:00:32. > :00:37.The Finance Minister say he has not done anything wrong.
:00:38. > :00:46.Here's our political correspondent, Gareth Gordon.
:00:47. > :00:53.As Finance Minister Mairtin O'Muilleoir has one of the biggest
:00:54. > :00:58.jobs at storm want. But not long ago he was playing Mairtin O'Muilleoir
:00:59. > :01:03.MLA, a member of the finance committee on the day it had
:01:04. > :01:12.explosive evidence from this man, loyalist Jimmy Bryson. His colleague
:01:13. > :01:30.... Given that there has been reference
:01:31. > :01:35.to the finance member then of the committee, Mairtin O'Muilleoir, now
:01:36. > :01:39.a minister. People are picked up what he would say, when he would
:01:40. > :01:46.say, at what stage you would comment. It is now impossible in any
:01:47. > :01:51.fair process for a minister to be carrying on an office and have the
:01:52. > :01:54.confidence of the assembly. The call for the minister to step
:01:55. > :01:58.aside was backed by all the other parties on the committee bar Sinn
:01:59. > :02:02.Fein. The confidence has been so seriously
:02:03. > :02:07.eroded and damage that he cannot possibly continue, regardless of
:02:08. > :02:09.whether he is guilty of misdemeanours or inappropriate
:02:10. > :02:19.behaviour or not. But Mairtin O'Muilleoir claimed --
:02:20. > :02:25.but other members were accused of playing politics.
:02:26. > :02:31.The committee for standards is investigating this issue and that is
:02:32. > :02:36.the place for that investigation to take place. That committee bordered
:02:37. > :02:40.on farcical at times today. For all that was said today, the
:02:41. > :02:46.committee they cannot force Mairtin O'Muilleoir to resign. That is both
:02:47. > :02:50.his party and he has Sinn Fein's full support so far. Emphasising
:02:51. > :03:02.that support this afternoon, Mark McGuinness said...
:03:03. > :03:07.The committee meets again in a fortnight, but all sides showing
:03:08. > :03:09.signs of digging in. A number of pupils at a Newry school
:03:10. > :03:12.have been disqualified from an A-level exam
:03:13. > :03:14.and had their grades cancelled. The sanctions came after
:03:15. > :03:16.an investigation by an exam board, as our education correspondent,
:03:17. > :03:31.Robbie Meredith, reports. The BBC understands that around 15
:03:32. > :03:38.students here at Our Lady's Grammar School who sat the exam in Sociology
:03:39. > :03:43.are affected. It is understood that a number of questions from exam
:03:44. > :03:48.taken in late June were shared on social media by some students had to
:03:49. > :03:56.the test earlier jitter timetable class. That is not understood how
:03:57. > :03:57.the claims came to light but the students were informed of the
:03:58. > :04:13.outcome and the sanctions last week. No one from the school was available
:04:14. > :04:18.for interview but, in a statement to the BBC, they said they regretted
:04:19. > :04:24.the incident. The also said the matter was dealt with by the school
:04:25. > :04:28.and the examination board in line with qualifications guidelines and
:04:29. > :04:34.the students involved sanctioned. There has been no suggestion, they
:04:35. > :04:41.went on, of any breach of examination or individuation
:04:42. > :04:46.protocol by the school. The also new that this was a time of difficulty
:04:47. > :04:51.for the students and they would offer support to those affected, who
:04:52. > :04:53.had had an unblemished record thus far.
:04:54. > :04:56.A man with multiple sclerosis says he feels his human rights have been
:04:57. > :04:59.violated by a "Do Not Resuscitate" order being put on his medical file.
:05:00. > :05:01.Neill Birnie, who's 48, is paralysed from the neck down
:05:02. > :05:05.The Northern Health Trust insists the order was discussed
:05:06. > :05:07.Our Health Correspondent, Marie-Louise Connolly,
:05:08. > :05:24.Despite his condition, Neill Birnie wants to live as long as possible.
:05:25. > :05:35.Communicating but by a computer, Neill gloves I did joke and has a
:05:36. > :05:41.wicked sense of humour. Let me assure you the lights are on
:05:42. > :05:46.and I am definitely at home. Mentally alert, in 2014 after being
:05:47. > :05:54.admitted to hospital with pneumonia, Neill discovered a DNR order was
:05:55. > :05:58.placed on his record. He did not ask for one, nor did his family.
:05:59. > :06:06.There was no effort to ask for my opinion. The consultants did at the
:06:07. > :06:16.end of my bed flight by two junior doctors saying that I had to face
:06:17. > :06:20.facts and I had -- he had consulted with the intensive care unit and so
:06:21. > :06:26.he was putting her do not resuscitate order on my file.
:06:27. > :06:47.In a statement, the health board said...
:06:48. > :06:57.Guidelines emphasise the need for medics to clearly discuss the impact
:06:58. > :07:02.of a DNR notice. Equally, a family should be notified of the impact CPR
:07:03. > :07:06.can have any person's body. It is terribly distressing because
:07:07. > :07:11.someone who has had CP are applied to them, he is maybe elderly frail
:07:12. > :07:19.or sick and the CPR can be traumatic.
:07:20. > :07:23.A puppy arrived last week for Neill's 48th birthday. They hope it
:07:24. > :07:27.will heal the scars. The precious gift of my life was
:07:28. > :07:32.considered valueless by the hospital.
:07:33. > :07:37.He says is mission is to spread the message that not all chronically ill
:07:38. > :07:39.patients are waiting for assisted suicide.
:07:40. > :07:41.The police in Brazil claim to have uncovered emails
:07:42. > :07:43.between the arrested Olympic official Pat Hickey and a sports
:07:44. > :07:46.company in which they discuss the illegal sale of Rio tickets.
:07:47. > :07:49.In a news conference this evening, the police gave further
:07:50. > :07:52.Mr Hickey, who has stepped aside as the President
:07:53. > :07:55.of the Olympic Council of Ireland, denies the allegations.
:07:56. > :08:12.Pat Hickey's arrest in Brazil six days ago sparked controversy around
:08:13. > :08:15.the world. This evening, investigators in Rio claimed tickets
:08:16. > :08:27.had been transferred from the Council of Northern
:08:28. > :08:34.Ireland to THG Sports, who didn't have licensed to sell them. Three
:08:35. > :08:40.senior officials were asked to attend this police station for
:08:41. > :08:45.questioning but one has since been told he's free to leave. Another has
:08:46. > :08:54.yet to give his statement and must do so within the next two days. It
:08:55. > :09:02.is not clear when the former OCI German Pat Hickey will appear in
:09:03. > :09:09.court. -- chairman. It was alleged that Patrick E's wife was told he
:09:10. > :09:15.had gone to Ireland when they arrest attempt was made. He says his
:09:16. > :09:31.attention -- detention by police was under mere assumptions.
:09:32. > :09:37.Two abandoned seal pups that were nursed back to full health have
:09:38. > :09:47.Conor Macauley was with them as they took to the water.
:09:48. > :09:55.The backyard is not normally the place you'd expect to find seal pups
:09:56. > :09:59.but Peril and Coral have been living here for almost two months. The
:10:00. > :10:06.biologist it going when they were abandoned. Knows -- now that they
:10:07. > :10:12.have had a specialist formula of milk and cream -- crushed fish and
:10:13. > :10:15.cream, it is time to send them back although they do not seem that keen
:10:16. > :10:21.on the idea. They were underweight at birth which normally means
:10:22. > :10:27.certain death unless an expert like Sue intervenes.
:10:28. > :10:32.They have to be able to swim with the mother and the water for their
:10:33. > :10:37.mother to care for them and they wouldn't have been able to keep up
:10:38. > :10:41.and would have got stranded. So they are on their way back to the
:10:42. > :10:47.sea, hopefully to hook up with other members of the seal family. But
:10:48. > :10:54.after several weeks of hand rearing, there is an inevitable bond. One
:10:55. > :11:05.takes off without much persuasion but for the other, parting is a long
:11:06. > :11:09.drawn-out affair. Even she is more attracted to other
:11:10. > :11:19.seals than us so as soon as she is able to break that bond she will be
:11:20. > :11:22.fine. That is more than 20 pups that Sue
:11:23. > :11:30.Wilson has helped back into the waves.
:11:31. > :11:33.Out into the big bad world. Football now and Dundalk's heroic
:11:34. > :11:35.attempt to become the first Irish side to make the Champions League
:11:36. > :11:38.group stages narrowly failed as they lost 3-1 to Legia Warsaw
:11:39. > :11:40.on aggregate, despite a 1-1 Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers
:11:41. > :11:44.successfully steered Celtic into the group stages
:11:45. > :11:46.of the Champions League, despite a 2-0 defeat tonight,
:11:47. > :11:48.the Scottish champions beating Hapoel Be'er Sheva of
:11:49. > :11:50.Israel 5-4 on aggregate. The weather forecast
:11:51. > :12:03.with Cecilia Daly. Skies clearing nicely across
:12:04. > :12:09.Northern Ireland and it looks like being clear and dry for the rest of
:12:10. > :12:11.the night. A cooler night than recent nights with temperatures
:12:12. > :12:16.dropping into single figures, especially in the countryside, and
:12:17. > :12:22.that may lead to some fog in the morning. A fresh start as well. But
:12:23. > :12:26.a nicer day than today. Dry virtually everywhere and lots of
:12:27. > :12:32.sunshine, especially through the morning. It is a fine summer 's day
:12:33. > :12:35.across much of Britain and Ireland. Maybe a few showers for Western
:12:36. > :12:50.counties of Ireland in the afternoon and some sharp showers across parts
:12:51. > :12:53.of southern England. It won't be as hot everywhere across England and
:12:54. > :12:57.Wales tomorrow but temperatures will still get close to 30 degrees in the
:12:58. > :12:59.London area. I think we will still be happy with the temperatures in
:13:00. > :13:10.Northern Ireland after a quite dismal day. We are likely to see
:13:11. > :13:13.more showers on Thursday but still semi-decent temperatures. It looks
:13:14. > :13:18.like the showers disappear on Friday so another fine day with sunshine
:13:19. > :13:24.and temperatures close to 20 degrees. Saturday is dry but with
:13:25. > :13:25.more cloud and adventure Lee some but hopefully a good part of the day
:13:26. > :13:31.will be tried. At
