:00:46. > :00:49.in similar clothing to the gunmen, retraced the route they took as they
:00:50. > :00:52.ran away from the victim's home. It is vital if you saw the two gunmen,

:00:58. > :01:01.have weighed the front, one was wearing a Celtic scarf across his
:01:02. > :01:05.face, with dark rimmed glasses. Joe Reilly has been singled out from two
:01:06. > :01:10.other people who were in his home at the time. They were forced to lie
:01:11. > :01:13.down on the kitchen for while the victim, Captain Oliver Morley, was
:01:14. > :01:20.shot twice in the chest around 8pm last Thursday. -- by the victim,
:01:21. > :01:22.kicked in the living room. Detectives were still trying to
:01:23. > :01:27.establish a clear motive for the shootings at the time. Seven days
:01:28. > :01:30.on, and after following up several lines of inquiry, a clearer picture
:01:31. > :01:34.is starting to emerge and it involves both drugs and
:01:35. > :01:37.paramilitaries. The motive I am looking that is in relation to drugs
:01:38. > :01:41.and I believe that Joseph Riley has been murdered by a paramilitary
:01:42. > :01:47.organisation. At this stage, it is too early to say which is involved.
:01:48. > :01:51.A dissident paramilitary organisation? I don't want to get
:01:52. > :02:00.into the specifics of the organisation I am looking at. I want
:02:01. > :02:03.to identify the two suspect. I am not following is a Tyrion inquiry at
:02:04. > :02:08.the moment. Police were asking motorists as they saw the two gunmen
:02:09. > :02:10.leaving the scene of what detectives described as a cold-blooded summary
:02:11. > :02:11.execution. The BBC has learned that a woman
:02:12. > :02:14.was reported to police and charged in connection
:02:15. > :02:16.with using abortion pills, The unprescribed purchase
:02:17. > :02:19.and use of the drugs And there are warnings that women
:02:20. > :02:24.are putting their health at risk by taking abortion
:02:25. > :02:25.pills bought online. Buying and using abortion pills
:02:26. > :02:35.is illegal But there is concern
:02:36. > :02:38.about their availability online. We purchased drugs which arrived
:02:39. > :02:43.from India to an address here. That is despite Northern Ireland's
:02:44. > :02:44.strict abortion laws that prevent
:02:45. > :02:58.the termination of any pregnancy, unless the mother's life
:02:59. > :03:01.or health is at serious risk. The drugs were analysed for us
:03:02. > :03:02.at Queens University. We can say with 100% surety,
:03:03. > :03:05.it is that pharmaceutical compound. They found the pills were capable
:03:06. > :03:08.of causing an abortion. But they are not licensed
:03:09. > :03:10.for use in the UK. As with all drugs, there are risks
:03:11. > :03:13.associated with this drug's use. Of particular concern
:03:14. > :03:15.would be the heavy bleeding, which is a relatively
:03:16. > :03:16.common adverse effect, and a number of women would require
:03:17. > :03:24.a blood transfusion. If you're talking about heavy blood
:03:25. > :03:27.loss as a result of using these, is that potentially
:03:28. > :03:29.life-threatening? That means some women who use
:03:30. > :03:37.the drugs will require treatment. We have learned that
:03:38. > :03:39.at least one woman was reported to police
:03:40. > :03:46.after she requested medical help. The Department of Health did issue
:03:47. > :03:48.guidelines earlier this year that stated that medical staff
:03:49. > :03:50.did have a duty to secure the apprehension,
:03:51. > :03:55.prosecution or conviction of anybody involved
:03:56. > :03:59.in an illegal termination. However, the guidance is not clear
:04:00. > :04:01.because it also says that they do not have to pass on
:04:02. > :04:04.that information if they have
:04:05. > :04:08.a reasonable excuse not to. Whenever we want women to seek
:04:09. > :04:10.medical advice, we have been telling them do not say
:04:11. > :04:13.that they have taken the pills, because the medical professionals
:04:14. > :04:17.are obliged to report this to the police and it is very clear
:04:18. > :04:20.in the most recent Northern Ireland guidelines that there is a
:04:21. > :04:23."don't ask, don't tell" policy Campaigners have been
:04:24. > :04:27.pushing for a relaxation but that remains a divisive
:04:28. > :04:34.and sensitive issue at Stormont. and our politicians have been
:04:35. > :04:38.holding against the tide of some people, like Amnesty International
:04:39. > :04:40.and other groups, who are actively trying to quite
:04:41. > :04:45.forcibly change the law. We made numerous requests to speak
:04:46. > :04:49.to the Justice Minister, and she was due to give interviews
:04:50. > :04:53.at an NSPCC event. Has the NSPCC invited
:04:54. > :04:56.you here today? When it became clear that we wanted
:04:57. > :04:59.to talk about abortion, however, her press officer
:05:00. > :05:03.had us thrown out. Why is she not prepared to answer
:05:04. > :05:08.any questions about an abortion? I am not answering any more
:05:09. > :05:16.questions while you film, please. The Health Minister also refused
:05:17. > :05:19.requests for interviews. But in a statement,
:05:20. > :05:21.her department said their primary concern
:05:22. > :05:28.for any woman was care. The DUP leader and First Minister
:05:29. > :05:30.Arlene Foster says her party will continue to block attempts
:05:31. > :05:33.to introduce same-sex marriage here. Mrs Foster said in an interview that
:05:34. > :05:37.online abuse from some activists had made it less likely that
:05:38. > :05:40.the DUP would change its stance, and her party would continue to use
:05:41. > :05:45.an Assembly-blocking mechanism I've been hearing more
:05:46. > :05:49.about Mrs Foster's remarks from our political
:05:50. > :06:00.editor Mark Devenport. These latest comments came in one of
:06:01. > :06:04.a series of interviews that Arlene Foster is giving in the run-up to
:06:05. > :06:08.her party conference, which is this weekend. In an interview with the
:06:09. > :06:12.press Association, she was asked about her party's position on Same
:06:13. > :06:17.Sex Marriage Bill and whether they might, in the future, decide not to
:06:18. > :06:20.use a petition of concern to block Private member 's' attempts to
:06:21. > :06:24.change the law on that score. She indicated that the DUP remains
:06:25. > :06:28.committed to a traditional definition of marriage and would use
:06:29. > :06:33.the tool, the petition of concern, which allows it to veto any attempt
:06:34. > :06:36.to change the law. She also said in that interview that she and her
:06:37. > :06:40.colleagues have been subjected to what she called a vicious abuse
:06:41. > :06:43.online by LGBT activists and she said that abuse would not change
:06:44. > :06:48.your position, indeed she said it might actually harm the position of
:06:49. > :06:50.the DUP in ensuring that they would not opt for any change on that
:06:51. > :06:55.score. And is this a surprise?
:06:56. > :06:59.I do not think so, really. If you look at the detail of their Assembly
:07:00. > :07:03.manifesto, there was one line were they said they remained committed to
:07:04. > :07:07.the definition of marriage and resisting any attempt to redefine
:07:08. > :07:11.it. So I think it has always been pretty clear on that score that they
:07:12. > :07:15.will continue to veto this. There has been talk about maybe limiting
:07:16. > :07:19.the use of a petition of concern, but Arlene Foster says in the end of
:07:20. > :07:20.leaders matter about which party feels very strongly, so why would
:07:21. > :07:23.they not use that petition they can? Other political parties have
:07:24. > :07:25.criticised Arlene Foster's comments. Alliance leader Naomi Long said
:07:26. > :07:28.the DUP should not use the mechanism of a Petition of Concern to overrule
:07:29. > :07:31.a democratic majority, and both she and Sinn Fein
:07:32. > :07:33.said they were committed to bringing forward legislation
:07:34. > :07:39.on marriage equality. The job losses announced
:07:40. > :07:42.by the bike retailer Chain Reaction have provoked
:07:43. > :07:44.a furious political reaction. The company is to cut
:07:45. > :07:46.around 300 jobs It was locally-owned
:07:47. > :07:50.until earlier this year when English firm Wiggle bought it
:07:51. > :07:55.for more than ?70 million. The former finance minister
:07:56. > :07:57.Sammy Wilson has accused the new owners of blatant
:07:58. > :08:01.and cynical asset stripping. This report from our economics
:08:02. > :08:19.and business editor, John Campbell. It is this sort of work which will
:08:20. > :08:22.no longer be done locally. Wiggle has spent millions on a huge new
:08:23. > :08:27.warehouse in the centre of England so it makes commercial sense to hold
:08:28. > :08:30.Dutch logistics in the one place but that does not cut much ice with the
:08:31. > :08:34.East Antrim MP. This is not because the company of uncompetitive. It is
:08:35. > :08:39.simply because a bigger company bought out a competitor, wanted to
:08:40. > :08:45.strip its assets, has spare capacity in other parts of its organisation
:08:46. > :08:51.and intends to move to that spare capacity. The South Antrim MP met
:08:52. > :08:55.the company today. He says he can understand from other explanations
:08:56. > :08:59.for the cuts but he believes misleading language was used at the
:09:00. > :09:02.time of the takeover. The one worry when we heard about the merger was
:09:03. > :09:06.that there might be job lay-offs, things might get moved to another
:09:07. > :09:12.location. So I raised it at the time and we got nearly cast iron
:09:13. > :09:15.assurances that no, they were here forever and a day, this was their
:09:16. > :09:19.home, where they would be employing people in the future. But you always
:09:20. > :09:22.that with a doubt and know the absolute worst has happened and we
:09:23. > :09:26.have got to fight really hard to make sure that jobs stay here, that
:09:27. > :09:33.we build the business here and we hope that in size and an answer.
:09:34. > :09:36.Chain Reaction's main reaction sets on the edge of this small village,
:09:37. > :09:39.where there is less focus on political rhetoric and more concern
:09:40. > :09:44.about the wider economic impact. Some of the warehouse workers live
:09:45. > :09:48.nearby and staff coming to and from work are regular customers at the
:09:49. > :09:53.village shop. Nobody here wanted to talk today, but they are worried
:09:54. > :09:57.about what it will mean for trade. Nobody from the company was
:09:58. > :10:00.available to speak to the media today, but they have again
:10:01. > :10:04.emphasised they will be retaining around 300 jobs in Northern Ireland,
:10:05. > :10:08.and the company have again said they do need to centralise warehousing
:10:09. > :10:10.and Wolverhampton if they are going to keep this business competitive in
:10:11. > :10:12.what is a very tough field. as one of Northern Ireland's biggest
:10:13. > :10:15.employers, Bombardier, is to bring forward a wave
:10:16. > :10:17.of redundancies which had been
:10:18. > :10:20.announced for next year. The aerospace company said
:10:21. > :10:21.in February it was axing the posts
:10:22. > :10:24.over two years but it now aims to shed all 1,080
:10:25. > :10:29.posts "within the next few months". The company says the move
:10:30. > :10:31.will help reduce costs The Secretary of State James
:10:32. > :10:45.Brokenshire says he won't consider funding Troubles-related inquests
:10:46. > :10:48.until there is reform of the system. Sinn Fein has repeatedly called
:10:49. > :10:50.on the government to provide ?10 million to investigate
:10:51. > :10:51.80 deaths, after the DUP vetoed
:10:52. > :10:54.the Executive from doing so. In an interview for the View
:10:55. > :10:56.tonight, Mr Brokenshire questioned the effectiveness
:10:57. > :11:07.of the current inquest system. I wanted to see that this is done
:11:08. > :11:12.properly, to get that sense of answers being given to the families,
:11:13. > :11:15.to the victims in this way. It is about the fact that I think we have
:11:16. > :11:19.a system that does not work effectively to be able to do that,
:11:20. > :11:23.because of the number of inquests that can be processed, and indeed
:11:24. > :11:27.the need for reform as to how we are able to manage the inquest system,
:11:28. > :11:29.which the lord Chief Justice himself referred to.
:11:30. > :11:31.Well, for more about what's on The View tonight,
:11:32. > :11:38.Yes, Tara, that's just the start of it - we'll hear that,
:11:39. > :11:47.And I will also be asking about his refusal to release funds to fund
:11:48. > :11:50.investigations into paramilitary. Johnny straight after the news.
:11:51. > :11:54.The weather latest now, with Geoff Maskell.
:11:55. > :12:00.We have had quite a cloudy day today, up until this point. Through
:12:01. > :12:03.this evening and overnight, this band of rain since slowly size,
:12:04. > :12:09.bringing out the clouds a little bit. It means we will see some
:12:10. > :12:12.clearer skies, helping the temperatures to drop away. A mist
:12:13. > :12:17.and fog to begin the day tomorrow, but in many places quite a bright
:12:18. > :12:20.start. What happens as we go through the day is that that cloud and rain
:12:21. > :12:23.that are sanctified through the evening will return, so we will see
:12:24. > :12:27.some cloudier skies encroaching as we go through the afternoon and then
:12:28. > :12:32.that rain will follow on. The rain is always fragmenting stop as we
:12:33. > :12:35.take a wider view, you can see exactly what is going on. What the
:12:36. > :12:39.big area of high settling down our weather quite nicely. The breeze
:12:40. > :12:43.running around the top of that. Through the day, that rate rises up
:12:44. > :12:46.and this weekend that high pressure does give us some protection, but we
:12:47. > :12:50.are always on the edge of it, always on the border with a certain friend
:12:51. > :12:54.of the day. On Friday night, a bit of mist forming as we go into the
:12:55. > :13:03.early hours of Saturday morning. The daylight hours on Saturday, though,
:13:04. > :13:07.are likely to stay mostly dry for many places. Temperatures in double
:13:08. > :13:10.figures, 1230 degrees today. On Sunday, that the risk of rain
:13:11. > :13:14.increases as the front just edges ever closer to us. Plenty of cloud,
:13:15. > :13:18.but those temperatures quite reasonable. As we look towards the
:13:19. > :13:21.Halloween weekend itself, then mostly dry through Monday. If a
:13:22. > :13:22.little bit cloudy. You should be OK for trick-or-treating.
