:00:49. > :00:58.it was to hear it in a court, it was vital, vital that his name and our
:00:59. > :01:03.name and the witnesses' names were all clear. Manus was 15 when he was
:01:04. > :01:06.killed in the Bogside in 1972, he was standing with friends when he
:01:07. > :01:12.was struck by a soldier from high above on the city walls. The soldier
:01:13. > :01:15.who opened fire, Private William Glasgow, who has since died, was
:01:16. > :01:20.officially named at the opening of the inquest last year. He maintained
:01:21. > :01:24.for decades that he fired up what appeared to be a gunman 200 metres
:01:25. > :01:30.away. The bullet ricocheted and fatally wounded Manus Deery. But the
:01:31. > :01:34.MoD told a hearing last year it was now accepted the teenager was not
:01:35. > :01:38.carrying a weapon and the shooting reached military guidelines.
:01:39. > :01:42.Delivering his verdict, the coroner made clear that Manus Deery was
:01:43. > :01:49.totally innocent. He said the inquest had fully vindicated his
:01:50. > :01:52.character. The coroner said neither Manus nor any of his friends were
:01:53. > :01:58.posing a threat, nor was there a gunman in the area at the time. He
:01:59. > :02:02.said the force used was disproportionate to the threat
:02:03. > :02:07.perceived. He said the soldier, Private William Glasgow, was not
:02:08. > :02:10.justified in opening fire. One of those with Manus Deery on the night
:02:11. > :02:16.he died says the verdict brought belief. We have always known he was
:02:17. > :02:23.innocent, all along. Nothing changed. During the inquest, the
:02:24. > :02:26.commenting officer of the soldier who killed Manus Deery held an
:02:27. > :02:31.emotional meeting with the Deery family. He expressed his regret. I

:03:32. > :03:35.and work for the benefit of the children, and that he has
:03:36. > :03:42.to make ?46,000 in cuts this year, having already saved

:05:17. > :05:20.each other for a lack of progress in securing a deal to restore
:05:21. > :05:22.the political institutions. With Friday appearing to be

:05:44. > :05:45.largest parties, The reason why we do not
:05:46. > :05:51.have a Government up and running is not the fault of the DUP,
:05:52. > :05:54.and indeed there are a number of other parties who are willing
:05:55. > :05:58.to get the Government up and running straightaway and deal with some
:05:59. > :06:01.of these other issues. It is Sinn Fein who are
:06:02. > :06:04.insisting on new agreements, new demands being implemented,
:06:05. > :06:07.which frankly are not about health or education or public services,
:06:08. > :06:22.but about narrow partisan issues. Sinn Fein want these institutions to
:06:23. > :06:27.work but Martin set out in his resignation letter one needs to
:06:28. > :06:30.happen, the DUP and the British Government he did take are bought
:06:31. > :06:36.and quite frankly they not listened to the public. Post a Friday, we
:06:37. > :06:40.will deal with that, but clearly it will be to the electorate again to
:06:41. > :06:42.have their say. The other parties doubt if the main players are even
:06:43. > :06:43.serious. I get a sense that some people
:06:44. > :06:46.are going through the motions We have committed ourselves
:06:47. > :06:50.to really working to get all the issues resolved,
:06:51. > :06:52.we have put in papers, been doing this for weeks,
:06:53. > :06:54.and we have answers We do not think any
:06:55. > :06:58.of this is insurmountable. I am not convinced that everybody
:06:59. > :07:02.else is in the same place. Stormont's newest party
:07:03. > :07:05.leader already seems And at this minute in time,
:07:06. > :07:13.even I am fighting to keep up We are seeing little
:07:14. > :07:25.sign of progress. But right now, this would appear
:07:26. > :07:28.to be the only sign of building work Time is quickly running out

:08:29. > :08:33.turned a lot fresher today, cooler than it was at the weekend. A few
:08:34. > :08:36.showers as well. But looking to the week ahead, still not huge amounts
:08:37. > :08:41.of rain, still some good dry weather. Variable amounts of cloud
:08:42. > :08:45.so at least there will be some bright or sunny spells. But we are
:08:46. > :08:50.going to continue with that rather cool breeze. An north-westerly
:08:51. > :08:55.tonight and eventually becomes westerly, any evening showers fizzle
:08:56. > :08:59.away to leave dry weather and clear spells. Temperatures in the towns
:09:00. > :09:05.around six or seven. In some rural spots, could be as low as two, three
:09:06. > :09:11.or four. Tomorrow, not a bad day to follow. A mainly dry day, few
:09:12. > :09:15.showers in the 4000. Variable cloud, so there will be some bright spells.
:09:16. > :09:21.But there is of cloud drifting along in the westerly breeze. Pretty
:09:22. > :09:24.similar across the Republic for much -- and for much of England and
:09:25. > :09:29.Wales, into southern and eastern Scotland. But some bright or sunny
:09:30. > :09:35.spells. Temperatures in the South should reach around 16. For Northern
:09:36. > :09:39.Ireland, similar, dry with bright or sunny spells, perhaps the best of
:09:40. > :09:44.those being in the sheltered parts of the East. Temperatures might be a
:09:45. > :09:48.bit higher than today, 12 or 13. But given the breeze, it will feel cool.
:09:49. > :09:53.We have some rain tomorrow night, once it goes through, just a few
:09:54. > :10:00.showers and a lot of dry weather for the rest of the week. Often cloudy
:10:01. > :10:01.but still some bright spells. And
