:00:27. > :00:28.to BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson, who's in
:00:29. > :00:34.Most people here in Mauritius thought John McAreavey would never

:01:04. > :01:05.His decision to return was not a sudden decision.
:01:06. > :01:07.He has been planning it for quite some time,
:01:08. > :01:10.and before he left I spoke to him, and I asked him what
:01:11. > :01:12.he hoped to achieve by coming back here.
:01:13. > :01:15.What we're trying to achieve from this whole process is justice,
:01:16. > :01:19.and that is justice for Michaela, for our families.
:01:20. > :01:28.It is a hard process, and there's no doubt about that.
:01:29. > :01:32.But it has been hard ever since Michaela died.
:01:33. > :01:35.And I suppose this process isn't just picking up again from 2012.
:01:36. > :01:37.This has been an ongoing process for our families for
:01:38. > :01:44.The difference now is we are taking a bit more of a lead,
:01:45. > :01:47.because we are not content with how things have been happening

:01:53. > :01:58.John McAreavey recently remarried, and here in Mauritius
:01:59. > :02:01.there is absolutely no sign of a breakthrough in the police
:02:02. > :02:08.investigation but John is adamant that his visit here
:02:09. > :02:21.We could sit in a studio in Belfast or wherever and announced that and
:02:22. > :02:23.the media might grab that and run with that but we need to appeal to
:02:24. > :02:25.the people in Mauritius. We felt that the biggest way
:02:26. > :02:27.to achieve that was to Five years ago, two
:02:28. > :02:40.hotel workers were found After that the police here launched
:02:41. > :02:42.a fresh investigation that it achieved nothing.

:03:40. > :03:44.in Creggan after being forced to lie on the floor by two masked men.

:05:24. > :05:24.Staff, patients and visitors were banned from
:05:25. > :05:29.The Western Trust first adopted the policy in 2014.

:05:42. > :05:45.Smoking is not allowed anywhere on hospital grounds.
:05:46. > :05:50.A year on, has the ban made any difference?
:05:51. > :06:02.The fact we went smoke-free last year, 2016, it is a slow work
:06:03. > :06:07.in process but it is still improving, which is the main thing.
:06:08. > :06:16.There is a lot less litter as well so it is improving.
:06:17. > :06:18.Joe is the smoking warden at the Belfast Trust.
:06:19. > :06:21.There's no smoking on the grounds, OK?
:06:22. > :06:25.You just have to be compassionate with them.
:06:26. > :06:27.Some people might have had a relative that just died.
:06:28. > :06:29.They might have been told they have a terminal illness,
:06:30. > :06:32.so you have to be compassionate in your approach and have sympathy
:06:33. > :06:38.The smoke-free policy is a ministerial directive, not law,
:06:39. > :06:40.meaning those lighting up on hospital grounds
:06:41. > :06:44.may be asked to put it out but won't face prosecution.
:06:45. > :06:48.We are certainly seeing an improvement on all of our sites.
:06:49. > :06:50.Although, I have to say, and be totally honest,
:06:51. > :06:53.that it is still a challenge, and particularly a challenge
:06:54. > :06:57.on our big sites such as the Royal and the City Hospital.
:06:58. > :07:06.Maybe not at the front of the hospital
:07:07. > :07:09.but there should be somewhere for long-stay patients
:07:10. > :07:15.People who smoke and are in hospital, what do they do?
:07:16. > :07:32.Especially when I'm on my way to the cancer ward.
:07:33. > :07:34.I think they should have an allocated area for them,
:07:35. > :07:37.maybe not just at the front door because sometimes it's busy
:07:38. > :07:40.I don't smoke personally, so not favourable!
:07:41. > :07:42.Undoubtedly at entrances and grounds at some hospitals,
:07:43. > :07:48.The trust still say their policy is working and those
:07:49. > :07:53.Through the use of a warden and education policy,
:07:54. > :08:00.they hope those numbers will reduce even further.
:08:01. > :08:04.And just one football result in the SSE Airtricity Premier Division,
:08:05. > :08:07.where Bray Wanderers beat Derry City 3-2.
:08:08. > :08:09.The Candystripers took to the pitch in shirts
:08:10. > :08:13.honouring their former captain, Ryan McBride, who died
:08:14. > :08:29.It's the start of the weekend and although it isn't likely to be quite
:08:30. > :08:35.as good as last weekend there is some fine weather. It's a weekend of
:08:36. > :08:40.two halves, we started on a showery note but the showers will fade away,
:08:41. > :08:45.it turns drier and brighter but cooler air so quite chilly at night
:08:46. > :08:51.and even daytime not as mild as before. The showers will use
:08:52. > :08:56.weighted night to the north so many places to running dry, even tonight
:08:57. > :09:00.is cooler than last night, and tomorrow we should see some bright
:09:01. > :09:06.spells, maybe initially in the morning and then later, in between
:09:07. > :09:10.we have showers so a bit of an April fool, tomorrow starts after right
:09:11. > :09:15.and bright but showers will edge through the later part of the
:09:16. > :09:21.morning. Low pressure is the dominating feature on Britain and
:09:22. > :09:26.Ireland as a whole so that brings a mix of sunshine and showers, some
:09:27. > :09:31.places may avoid the showers but were they do come along they could
:09:32. > :09:36.be heavy and thundery. We will have those into the afternoon, moving
:09:37. > :09:42.south and east, here they could be heavy with under but they clear away
:09:43. > :09:46.later on, so a drier and brighter end to the day but a north-westerly
:09:47. > :09:52.wind means temperatures are not as high. Tomorrow night cold, there
:09:53. > :09:56.could be grown frost on Sunday morning but does that of the two
:09:57. > :09:57.days, mainly dry with bright and sunny spells.
:09:58. > :10:09.BBC Northern Ireland is keeping her country...
:10:10. > :10:13...from line-dancing champions to crooning kids.
