:01:34. > :01:35.It is understood that laptops and mobile phones
:01:36. > :01:40.This morning, we returned to the scene of yesterday's
:01:41. > :01:43.I knocked on the door of one of the properties that
:01:44. > :01:49.I spoke to a woman inside and asked her if she had any comment to make
:01:50. > :02:01.She told me, they didn't know what was happening.

:02:09. > :02:10.with an anti-terrorist enquiry involving London's Metropolitan
:02:11. > :02:15.It is understood intelligence officers from MI5

:02:32. > :02:33.The hides were found to contain bombing and gun implements
:02:34. > :02:42.It was suspected the weapons were linked to dissident republican

:02:45. > :02:46.on Facebook of military exercises he has been involved
:02:47. > :02:49.with as a Marine. Yesterday wasn't the first
:02:50. > :02:51.time that Ciaran Maxwell 14 years ago, a teenage
:02:52. > :03:00.Ciaran Maxwell made the news when he was attacked
:03:01. > :03:13.here in Larne. At the time his attack was reported
:03:14. > :03:14.as a sectarian attack by a gang of loyalists armed with golf clubs and
:03:15. > :03:15.iron bars. Police have searched the marine's
:03:16. > :03:17.locker at his military base in Somerset as part
:03:18. > :03:27.of the ongoing investigation. It will be a detailed search, it is
:03:28. > :03:32.important we understand what may be present at the address and that the
:03:33. > :03:33.new plantation. The searches are being led by the Metropolitan Police
:03:34. > :03:36.counterterrorism command. Devon police say the search
:03:37. > :03:37.operations will continue through the weekend as more
:03:38. > :03:40.officers arrived to help Two officials from the Olympic
:03:41. > :03:43.council of Ireland, Kevin Kilty and Stephen Martin,
:03:44. > :03:45.who is from Bangor, are being questioned
:03:46. > :03:47.by detectives in Brazil. It's understood they are being
:03:48. > :03:50.interviewed in relation to an investigation into the alleged
:03:51. > :04:04.mis-selling of Olympic tickets. The arrested official Pat Hickey 's
:04:05. > :04:10.legal team has also made a second application for bail.
:04:11. > :04:16.I asked about the latest developments. Around 2pm in the
:04:17. > :04:19.afternoon in Rio Stephen Martin and Kevin Kilty were due to meet with
:04:20. > :04:23.police in Rio and give statements about what they knew in relation to
:04:24. > :04:27.the sale of tickets. They arrived early and they were wearing Irish
:04:28. > :04:30.Olympic track suits as they arrived at the police station and they said
:04:31. > :04:35.they were there merely to cooperate and assist in any way they could
:04:36. > :04:37.with the police. The police have confiscated their passports and they
:04:38. > :04:41.did that saying there was no accusation of any wrongdoing by
:04:42. > :04:51.either man but they simply want to speak to them before they return to
:04:52. > :04:53.Ireland at the end of the games. Those statements and discussions
:04:54. > :04:55.with the police have lasted some hours and it remains unclear exactly
:04:56. > :04:58.what the police have decided but earlier this week in a similar case
:04:59. > :05:01.a member of the Olympic Council spoke to the police for many hours
:05:02. > :05:04.and that the police said they had no interest in him and his passport
:05:05. > :05:07.would be returned and he would be allowed to leave Brazil in due
:05:08. > :05:13.course. What more can you tell us about the
:05:14. > :05:17.bail application by Pat Hickey? This is the second time they have
:05:18. > :05:21.sought to get bail for Pat Hickey who was in prison in a maximum
:05:22. > :05:24.security prison at the moment and he has been there since he was arrested
:05:25. > :05:28.last week. His lawyers are seeking to have the bail application
:05:29. > :05:31.expedited because it can take up to 20 days for a bail hearing to take
:05:32. > :05:36.place here in Rio where the wheels of justice moves slower than at home
:05:37. > :05:40.and they are seeking an injunction for this to be heard sooner they say
:05:41. > :05:44.their client is elderly and he suffers from hyped into --
:05:45. > :05:48.hypertension and has a heart condition and they are offering to
:05:49. > :05:53.place him under house arrest here in Brazil if he was allowed bail and
:05:54. > :05:56.allowed to be released from prison while the investigation takes place.
:05:57. > :05:59.A decision about whether that injunction is successful could be
:06:00. > :06:03.due early next week which will speed up the hearing and by the end of
:06:04. > :06:06.next week at the earliest we should find out whether or not he has been
:06:07. > :06:08.granted bail but that is the latest move from his legal team here in
:06:09. > :06:09.Rio. Around 30,000 pupils have
:06:10. > :06:11.received their GCSE results today. There's been another rise
:06:12. > :06:13.in the number receiving A* to C grades, as our

:06:16. > :06:22.two years of hard work... And Shauna wasn't alone
:06:23. > :06:29.in getting good news at Little Flower Girls School
:06:30. > :06:41.in North Belfast. I got a B in my science, and A in
:06:42. > :06:45.sports studies, an A in maths. Many are planning to follow
:06:46. > :06:47.A-levels after GCSEs, I'm training to work with dogs,
:06:48. > :06:51.I'm going to train to groom them and The performance gap between girls
:06:52. > :06:55.and boys has widened, too. Undoubtedly there is a difference
:06:56. > :07:02.with maturity, but I think things open up
:07:03. > :07:04.and equal out during time. That is very important to remember
:07:05. > :07:14.that this is a measure at 16 when we measure again at 18,
:07:15. > :07:16.things have evened out. But results across Northern
:07:17. > :07:18.Ireland have risen again. The proportion of entries awarded A*
:07:19. > :07:21.to C grades increased to over 79% while the number attracting the top
:07:22. > :07:23.A and A* star grades Those improving results will always
:07:24. > :07:38.spark debates about standards but the people here seem delighted
:07:39. > :07:40.and their counterparts across Northern Ireland have again
:07:41. > :07:42.outperformed those in And that was the Education
:07:43. > :07:47.Minister's message. We have seen very high standards
:07:48. > :07:50.improved upon year on year, and also Northern Ireland is proudly leading
:07:51. > :07:53.the way across the United Kingdom. Pupils at Oakgrove College
:07:54. > :07:58.in Derry were also happy, although some did have concerns

:08:13. > :08:17.one pupil at Hazelwood College in Belfast had extra
:08:18. > :08:21.reason to celebrate. So, I got the results I need to go
:08:22. > :08:26.on and study A-levels and do ICT, biology and it is also

:08:32. > :08:39.an attack on a house in North Belfast last night
:08:40. > :08:41.as a hate crime. A window in the house
:08:42. > :08:44.at Atlantic Avenue was smashed A family from Slovakia
:08:45. > :08:50.were there at the time but no one was in the room
:08:51. > :08:53.where the window was smashed. A neighbour has told BBC Newsline
:08:54. > :08:56.that while the police went to the scene last night
:08:57. > :08:58.after the window was broken, a pipe bomb was not discovered
:08:59. > :09:05.inside until half past A local councillor says it could
:09:06. > :09:08.have caused devastation. We're waiting to hear back from the police
:09:09. > :09:12.for their response and their investigation to be completed and we
:09:13. > :09:16.want to hear that report. We certainly would condemn the attack
:09:17. > :09:21.and it could have caused a lot of devastation to them, given the fact
:09:22. > :09:25.the device remained there overnight and it causes disruption to local
:09:26. > :09:27.families and people in the area this morning.
:09:28. > :09:30.A woman from Dungannon has been sentenced to a three month jail term

:10:27. > :10:29.At a previous court appearance Ms Gardner admitted
:10:30. > :10:35.Outside court Mr Wells said he hoped it sent a message to others.
:10:36. > :10:40.I think it is important today to remember that politicians cannot

:12:18. > :12:22.with just a few showers left behind. It won't be as cool or as clear
:12:23. > :12:25.tonight so tomorrow morning and there is likely to be more cloud

:12:44. > :12:46.area of rain in the north of Scotland and showers in the West of
:12:47. > :12:48.Scotland but many parts of Britain will have a fine and warm and sunny
