A Royal Marine from Larne has been arrested in England as part | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
of an investigation into dissident republican activity. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
He was detained in Somerset by counter-terrorism officers | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
It's believed two houses belonging to family members have | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
Chris Buckler is there for us tonight. | :00:22. | :00:38. | |
At the heart of this investigation is the discovery of weapons linked | :00:39. | :00:47. | |
to dissident republicans earlier this year and Larne, however it is a | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
loyalist marine who is being questioned tonight. He is currently | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
serving in the West Country and is being questioned there. What | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
followed was a day of searches here in Larne and south Devon. | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
Police officers are searching but have not yet said what they are | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
looking for. It is known that it is connected with dissident republican | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
terrorism. He was arrested at 12:20pm by | :01:20. | :01:33. | |
counterterrorism officers. Who were joined by police. He was arrested on | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
suspicion of being caught under -- involved in preparing terrorism | :01:41. | :01:41. | |
acts. Full is the one mile away, more | :01:42. | :01:49. | |
searches. It has come as a shock to locals not used to such sites. At | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
the same time, a significant operation was under way and Larne. | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
Old Glenarm Road was the focus of investigations. Today's arrest is | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
the culmination of months of planning following the discovery of | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
two arms dumps. First a significant terrorist hide of bomb-making | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
equipment in Carnfunnock Country Park. Then antipersonnel mines and | :02:21. | :02:30. | |
rockets discovered near Capanagh Forest. | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
This was a counterterrorism investigation that followed those | :02:39. | :02:38. | |
two fines. -- discoveries. It is clear the searches were | :02:39. | :02:53. | |
organised and coordinated. Yes, if you look at the sequence of | :02:54. | :03:03. | |
events. The searches began immediately after Ciaran Maxwel was | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
arrested. I watched forensic officers remove a number of items | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
for investigation. It is clear that court nation was involved due to the | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
number of forces involved. Because that goes back to arms discoveries | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
from earlier this year it is clear there were months of discoveries. | :03:24. | :03:32. | |
The counterterrorism command, the Southwest intelligence unit and | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
Northern Irish police force all involved. | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
Has anything more been said about the arrest? | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
They have not even confirmed that a marine was arrested. They say they | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
are aware of an arrest under the terrorism act. They will assist this | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
investigation fully and see it will be inappropriate to say anything | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
else because it is an ongoing investigation. | :04:05. | :04:05. | |
Sinn Fein has accused the DUP of jeopardising a community project | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
Some unionists had objected to the development because it's | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
at the site of a GAA club in Glenariff, which has | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
the names of two IRA men from the 1920s on the gates. | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
A vote which allows for council funding was narrowly | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
These are the gates that sparked a political row | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
The DUP said if they are living at the site | :04:30. | :04:40. | |
they could re-traumatise people affected by terrorism. | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
Last week members of the GAA club voted to | :04:46. | :04:55. | |
Last night by the narrowest of margins and | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
behind closed doors the Council approved | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
?180,000 in funding for the community centre. | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
Sinn Fein accused the DUP of jeopardising the project | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
It is a sideshow to try to distract attention from any money | :05:07. | :05:16. | |
I understand the gates will stay in place, there is no issue. | :05:17. | :05:27. | |
There are no conditions on the funding. | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
A lot of our district could learn from this. | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
The DUP said they were disappointed with | :05:34. | :05:34. | |
This has caused a lot of bad feeling in the | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
Two senior officials from the Olympic Council of Ireland | :05:39. | :05:52. | |
are expected to meet with police in Brazil tomorrow. | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
Stephen Martin, who is from Northern Ireland, | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
and Kevin Kilty had their passports seized by officers investigating | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
the illegal re-sale of tickets to the Games. | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
The former head of the OCI, Pat Hickey, was arrested last week. | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
A serious breakdown of staff relationships at a West Belfast | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
school had a substantial impact on pupils - that's just one | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
of the findings of an independent investigation into | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
The report, published by the Department for Education, | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
says individual staff at the school described a culture of fear, | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
with claims of bullying and intimidation. | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
It also says the Council for Catholic Maintained Schools | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
should have intervened sooner to resolve difficulties. | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
Our Education Correspondent, Robbie Meredith, reports. | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
It is a west Belfast school that has seen | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
protests by some parents and some pupils. | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
Now the extent of the problems at De La Salle College | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
According to the report, there was a culture of | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
And a history of disputes over selection | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
There was a serious breakdown of working relationships | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
which impacted substantially on the pupils there. | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
Classes were often disrupted because of teacher absences. | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
Despite that, the report said the school | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
did not ask the local exam board for any extra time or other special | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
circumstances for pupils sitting A-levels or GCSEs. | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
That has come as a shock to parent representatives. | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
We were assured there would be special dispensation | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
The committee was assured, the full committee, were assured | :07:35. | :07:43. | |
that would be the case and the report states that was not. | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
The report says there was no single cause for the problems, they're not | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
solely down to the principal, but it is critical | :07:52. | :08:04. | |
the problems for more than two years. | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
The report breaks down into immediate actions | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
to focus on and wider strategic actions | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
and it is important all players play their part in trying to resolve | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
the issues and making sure we do not have another issue | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
With the new term about to start, many will need to be | :08:18. | :08:25. | |
Sinn Fein have announced that former MLA Philip McGuigan will replace | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
Mr McGuigan has been selected for co-option to the North Antrim | :08:33. | :08:42. | |
seat following Mr McKay's resignation, after it was revealed | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
he had been involved in advising the loyalist blogger Jamie Bryson | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
on how to give his evidence to an Assembly committee. | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
Dozens of Syrian refugees who moved here just before Christmas enjoyed | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
Around 30 of them were given a tour of Ulster Rugby's Kingspan Stadium. | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
They had VIP access to all areas from the main stand, to the dugouts. | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
The families all had good things to say about their new home. | :09:06. | :09:15. | |
My favourite thing is the people because they are friendly. It is a | :09:16. | :09:24. | |
beautiful city. I feel so happy here in Belfast. | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
I like Belfast, it is very nice. Many of Team Ireland's | :09:31. | :09:31. | |
competitors returned home Silver medals were won in sailing | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
and rowing and other athletes However, it was a disappointing | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
Games for Team Ireland's boxers with Paddy Barnes shock early exit, | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
as he battled to make the light-flyweight limit | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
and a controversial judging decision ending Michael Conlan's | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
hopes for a medal. Totally devastated. We trained so | :09:51. | :10:03. | |
hard and the circumstances, that's a bad lost. But the positives to take | :10:04. | :10:14. | |
out of it is helping my team in the biggest competition in the world. | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
I still think what I said was true and honest. If I hadn't said them, | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
even though it was crazy, I would regret not saying it so I'm happy | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
with myself and I know what went on and it is what it is. I'm delighted | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
to be back here and have a few rogue's welcomed. It is fantastic. | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
How much support I've received since the boat? | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
All over the world people have been writing to me. They are saying they | :10:44. | :10:52. | |
are behind me. People in Canada seeing eye am a folk hero. It is | :10:53. | :11:00. | |
fantastic. It has been overwhelming. It has made it easier. | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
The Republic of Ireland captain, Robbie Keane, has announced he's | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
to retire from international football at the age of 36. | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
Keane, who has 145 senior caps, is due to play his last match | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
for the national team in a friendly game against Oman | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
The LA Galaxy forward has played for the Republic for the past 18 | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
years and is his country's all-time leading scorer with 67 goals. | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
Now, finally onto the weather forecast with Cecilia Daly. | :11:23. | :11:32. | |
It has been a lovely day and there are another couple of decent days to | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
come before the end of the summer holidays. Temperatures are quite | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
clear tonight -- it is quite clear tonight 's temperatures will fall | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
away. That close will be around at the start tomorrow morning but will | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
soon burn off in the sunshine. Most of Thursday is looking dry, warm and | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
sunny. A lovely day across many parts of the Republic as well. But | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
you can see a line of showers creeping onto the West. Fine in | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
parts of Scotland but part of East Anglia and Wales will see some cloud | :12:16. | :12:23. | |
and that hot weather is moving away from the south-east. It might reach | :12:24. | :12:32. | |
22 degrees tomorrow but later in the Deep Purple see some showers | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
particularly in the West. They will gradually see some | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
on Friday, some showers to start with but otherwise fine and warm | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
weather to come with the best of it through the afternoon. More | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
unsettled this weekend. Some rain around but not all the time and it | :13:00. | :13:00. | |
will be dry as well. Our next BBC Newsline | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
is at 6:25am during Breakfast | :13:04. | :13:08. |
