scientists have to say. That and a lot more on BBC

:00:00.:00:00.

Efforts are being stepped up here to tackle the growing problem

:00:00.:00:10.

More than 160 children in Northern Ireland called Childline

:00:11.:00:16.

Across the UK there was a 21% rise in calls to the child-helpline

:00:17.:00:22.

What may seem harmless can often become dangerous.

:00:23.:00:32.

Chatting online to people you don't know.

:00:33.:00:35.

One teenager, based in Northern Ireland,

:00:36.:00:37.

who was recently targeted by older men has been speaking out.

:00:38.:00:42.

She doesn't want her identity known, but she wants everyone to know

:00:43.:00:45.

Probably within the first week, maybe two weeks of being on there I

:00:46.:00:53.

They would ask me to take my clothes off.

:00:54.:01:08.

I think it was the same day, we started talking, he had

:01:09.:01:11.

my phone number and may e-mail address.

:01:12.:01:14.

There was no divorce, I wasn't in care.

:01:15.:01:21.

There was nothing where you would think I was a

:01:22.:01:24.

There other teenagers who feel trapped in a similar situation.

:01:25.:01:31.

As soon as you tell someone, a weight lifted off

:01:32.:01:36.

What advice would you give the parents who say this

:01:37.:01:47.

could be happening in their household?

:01:48.:01:50.

Don't think that just because you're answering them that they can find

:01:51.:01:55.

I knew that they were monitoring my laptop

:01:56.:02:01.

so I would start using a different computer,

:02:02.:02:04.

speak to your child, let

:02:05.:02:05.

them know they can talk to you no matter what.

:02:06.:02:08.

Don't let them feel they can have their phone taken away

:02:09.:02:10.

or internet taken away, just make it so that they want to talk to you.

:02:11.:02:14.

They don't need that person in their life

:02:15.:02:16.

Childline took 164 calls last year from young people

:02:17.:02:25.

Parents need to be observant about what their children are doing.

:02:26.:02:33.

Children have lots of freedom online and we shouldn't try to take that

:02:34.:02:37.

away from them but we should seek to involve ourselves in what children

:02:38.:02:41.

Talk to them about it and be aware about what source and

:02:42.:02:45.

Experts say that any parent who don't think they need to pay

:02:46.:02:52.

close attention needs to think again.

:02:53.:02:57.

The use of special legal powers to appoint a new Stormont press

:02:58.:03:00.

secretary has been defended by the Deputy First Minister.

:03:01.:03:04.

Martin McGuinness and First Minister Arlene Foster used Royal Prerogative

:03:05.:03:07.

to change the law to push the appointment through of BBC

:03:08.:03:11.

He was given the ?75,000 a year job without it being advertised

:03:12.:03:21.

This is David Gordon, the man whose job will be to improve

:03:22.:03:24.

the story around the Stormont Executive.

:03:25.:03:27.

Instead he's become the story, hardly what was intended.

:03:28.:03:31.

The Oxford English Dictionary says the job of a spin doctor is to give

:03:32.:03:37.

a favourable interpretation of events to the media.

:03:38.:03:40.

It could be said the way David Gordon's appointment has been

:03:41.:03:43.

handled by the Executive shows exactly why they need one.

:03:44.:03:47.

The First and Deputy First ministers say they want

:03:48.:03:50.

their new press secretary to provide them with expert advice

:03:51.:03:53.

and spearhead the communication of Stormont's policies.

:03:54.:03:56.

But it's emerged the law was changed using a highly unusual procedure

:03:57.:04:00.

called a Royal Prerogative so that the post could be filled

:04:01.:04:04.

The subject dominated Question Time in the Assembly,

:04:05.:04:09.

with Martin McGuinness the butt of many jokes.

:04:10.:04:12.

I would like to ask you what further place we can expect from Kim

:04:13.:04:16.

Jong run on message management within the Northern Ireland

:04:17.:04:18.

As we know the rule was created using the Royal Prerogatives

:04:19.:04:23.

so can I ask you as a proud republican,

:04:24.:04:25.

could you confirm how you

:04:26.:04:27.

feel about exercising the powers of Monica?

:04:28.:04:31.

There was absolutely no secrecy or underhand

:04:32.:04:38.

Some minority members can laugh all

:04:39.:04:47.

they like, but the appointment of the press secretary was legally

:04:48.:04:51.

We have 55 press officers working in government press

:04:52.:04:57.

Not the inflated figure some others are

:04:58.:05:06.

And perhaps if people ask the question rather than

:05:07.:05:10.

run to the media, you might get to the truth.

:05:11.:05:13.

As a journalist, David Gordon had a reputation for being fearless

:05:14.:05:16.

in pursuit of a story, often to the embarrassment

:05:17.:05:19.

of the Executive he will now be working for.

:05:20.:05:25.

But outside the Stormont bubble, does anyone really care?

:05:26.:05:29.

We elected the Assembly to make the laws, to change the laws.

:05:30.:05:34.

If they think that they can at the stroke

:05:35.:05:36.

of a pen change the law with no regard to the Assembly, then what is

:05:37.:05:40.

This is power at its worst and if they get away with that

:05:41.:05:46.

Martin McGuinness says the story will be a two-day wonder.

:05:47.:05:53.

Can the Executive's opponents prove him wrong?

:05:54.:05:59.

You can see more on the day's political developments at Stormont

:06:00.:06:02.

A Royal Marine from Larne who's accused of terrorism,

:06:03.:06:08.

fraud and drugs offences will stand trial in February.

:06:09.:06:11.

Ciaran Maxwell is charged with making explosives and storing

:06:12.:06:15.

them in hides in England and Northern Ireland.

:06:16.:06:17.

He appeared at the Old Bailey via videolink from Belmarsh

:06:18.:06:21.

The inquest into the death of Arlene Arkinson has been

:06:22.:06:26.

told her family has endured an emotional week after the latest

:06:27.:06:30.

The police operation near Killen outside Castlederg ended on Saturday

:06:31.:06:36.

This is the derelict farm where forensic experts spent two

:06:37.:06:44.

days carrying out the latest search for the remains of Arlene Arkinson.

:06:45.:06:48.

It began when a farmer who rents the land found what appeared

:06:49.:06:51.

Today at Belfast Coroner's Court, details of the extent of last week's

:06:52.:06:58.

digs were revealed by the senior police officer

:06:59.:07:00.

In a statement, Detective Chief Superintendent Raymond Murray said

:07:01.:07:06.

police were first informed about the potential grave

:07:07.:07:08.

by the owner of an unoccupied property in Killen.

:07:09.:07:12.

When specialists completed their excavation of the site on Friday,

:07:13.:07:16.

they discovered a second area of disturbed ground.

:07:17.:07:19.

The scene was held for an extra day to allow for further excavation,

:07:20.:07:23.

but only an old sceptic tank was found.

:07:24.:07:27.

The court was told no outstanding lines of inquiry

:07:28.:07:30.

Arlene Arkinson's family weren't present at today's hearing,

:07:31.:07:43.

but their lawyer read out a statement on their behalf.

:07:44.:07:45.

Kathleen Arkinson and her family said they have had what can only be

:07:46.:07:49.

They added that they have to remain hopeful while being bitterly

:07:50.:07:53.

disappointed that Arlene's remains have not yet been found.

:07:54.:07:58.

Today's hearing was also told that legislation has been changed

:07:59.:08:01.

in the Republic which will enable the Garda to cooperate

:08:02.:08:03.

A meeting between the coroner's legal representatives and officials

:08:04.:08:09.

from the Republic's State Solicitor's Office is to take place

:08:10.:08:12.

after the Irish Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald authorised

:08:13.:08:15.

The inquest was adjourned until 7 October.

:08:16.:08:25.

A substantial number of jobs could be created at City of Derry

:08:26.:08:28.

airport as part of a ?7 million funding package, according

:08:29.:08:32.

Martin McGuinness defended the use of public money after Ryanair's

:08:33.:08:37.

announcement last week that it was ending its London Stansted route.

:08:38.:08:43.

Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness believes the airport's

:08:44.:08:46.

growth remains crucial to the North West.

:08:47.:08:48.

The Executive's providing ?7 million towards that.

:08:49.:08:52.

?2.5 million will be used to secure new destinations.

:08:53.:08:56.

It is understood the board of the report

:08:57.:08:58.

are speaking to a number of

:08:59.:09:00.

airlines at the moment about developing new routes to Birmingham

:09:01.:09:04.

Other options will be considered also.

:09:05.:09:08.

Ryanair's London Stansted flight will end in March 2017

:09:09.:09:12.

and management's trying to secure a new connection through

:09:13.:09:15.

It was set up to help maintain regional air links to London.

:09:16.:09:22.

The PSL application which is the Public Service obligation

:09:23.:09:25.

application for the London route is now in place

:09:26.:09:28.

and it is working its way to the system and it is

:09:29.:09:31.

We very confident that at least one or a

:09:32.:09:36.

number of airlines will respond to that

:09:37.:09:38.

opportunity and we will have a

:09:39.:09:39.

replacement service hopefully the beginning

:09:40.:09:41.

Management also want to develop an aircraft

:09:42.:09:45.

?4.5 million is being spent on airport infrastructure to help

:09:46.:09:51.

It could create a large number of highly qualified and well paid jobs

:09:52.:10:00.

For the airport there wouldn't be a great

:10:01.:10:06.

amount of difference, but for the region it would be highly

:10:07.:10:09.

The Green Party has questioned the rationale of ?7 million support

:10:10.:10:23.

They worry as there is no strategic thought.

:10:24.:10:28.

The money seems to have been bunked down the back of the

:10:29.:10:32.

silver and we don't have an air transport

:10:33.:10:34.

strategy and I think we

:10:35.:10:35.

would see an approach that is good for the people of Northern Ireland,

:10:36.:10:39.

not just the Deputy First Minister's constituents.

:10:40.:10:40.

Ultimately the aim is to make the airport more self-sufficient

:10:41.:10:43.

so it doesn't have to rely on an annual subsidy

:10:44.:10:45.

A group representing families of people shot dead by the army

:10:46.:10:55.

in Ballymurphy in 1971 has walked out of a meeting with

:10:56.:10:58.

They say they'd asked James Brokenshire about funds for

:10:59.:11:03.

a legacy inquest into the shootings but that he refused to answer

:11:04.:11:06.

Ards swimmer Bethany Firth has finished as Paralympics GB's most

:11:07.:11:15.

decorated athlete at the Games in Rio that came to

:11:16.:11:17.

She won the 200 metres individual medley on Saturday to bring her

:11:18.:11:23.

personal haul in Brazil up to three golds and a silver.

:11:24.:11:27.

I am so happy with everything I have achieved here.

:11:28.:11:30.

Which of those medals means most to you?

:11:31.:11:38.

I think they all mean the same to me.

:11:39.:11:42.

I trained really hard in all four strokes for

:11:43.:11:45.

I wouldn't pick one out of all of them.

:11:46.:11:52.

The weather is next. A pretty decent start to the week

:11:53.:12:03.

and it continues overnight and into tomorrow. It may turn chilly in

:12:04.:12:07.

countryside areas but most towns and cities should stay in the double

:12:08.:12:12.

figures. Tomorrow will be a mainly dry day. There will be a lot of

:12:13.:12:16.

cloud that there will also be breaks a impersonate gaps to come through.

:12:17.:12:22.

If you are travelling tomorrow, most places will be fine with plenty of

:12:23.:12:25.

dry weather and some sunshine but some wet weather likely for Eastern

:12:26.:12:31.

counties of England but further north and west, a better picture but

:12:32.:12:36.

temperatures up to the high teens. If you scattered showers later on in

:12:37.:12:43.

the day in the south but elsewhere, a drier picture. Into the evening,

:12:44.:12:47.

the odd smell of sunshine will continue and the winds will stay

:12:48.:12:52.

light as well. Another dry night tomorrow night as we go into

:12:53.:12:55.

Wednesday but Wednesday is shaping up to be the wettest day of the

:12:56.:12:59.

week. A dry start but it won't take long until we see the next area of

:13:00.:13:03.

low pressure coming in from the Atlantic and it will bring

:13:04.:13:05.

widespread rain and at times that could be heavy. Temperatures of 40

:13:06.:13:12.

or 50 degrees so noticeably cooler under that vein. That'll tear away

:13:13.:13:15.

and for thirsty, a state of scattered showers but also some

:13:16.:13:20.

sunshine. Friday is shaping up to be largely dry before we see windy and

:13:21.:13:21.

wetter weather. Our next BBC Newsline is at 6:25

:13:22.:13:24.

in the morning during Breakfast

:13:25.:13:30.
