than we really are in international affairs? Join | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
The BBC has been told that there'll be a full day of talks | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
at Stormont tomorrow and will resume after Easter. | :00:14. | :00:22. | |
Earlier today the Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams said | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
On BBC Newsline at 6.30 I asked our Political | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
editor for his assessment of Mr Adams' statement. | :00:29. | :00:37. | |
He gave quite an interesting briefing off-camera that on the | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
record to reporters on legacy. He said it was arguable that they did | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
not get a deal legacy he could still form an executive that would not be | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
a strong deal because it would alienate a lot of people. What he | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
called a rights -based approach he said that the DUP had to basically a | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
-based approach on issues such as same-sex marriage and the Irish | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
language. He said it did not mean they had to drop their policy | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
objection to same-sex marriage but he argued that continuing to veto it | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
when a majority of MLE supported it was another fear not appropriate. We | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
have on Good Friday would be another talks deadline. That looks | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
increasingly unlikely. We had all been honing our script lines about | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
the great Good Friday disagreement but it looks like that will be a | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
quiet day. My understanding is tomorrow there will be a full round | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
of negotiations including round table sessions. After that talks | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
will pause. It is likely that will be resumption of police. They will | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
have a break and then what does happen after Lisa? We will see of | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
the comeback the table but they could offer potentially quite | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
confusing situation because Secretary of State says he needs to | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
start pushing laws through at some point after Easter including the | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
first of all the new rates bill which will allow for the collection | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
of rates in Northern Ireland there will be interesting to see if that | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
happens in parallel with the negotiations still carrying on. -- | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
after Easter. Tonight's BBC Panorama programme | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
will broadcast fresh allegations in relation to the alleged IRA spy | :02:21. | :02:21. | |
known as Stakeknife. It's now understood the Director | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
of the public prosecution service asked his deputy to step back | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
from her duties following her role in a decision not to prosecute | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
Scappaticci for perjury. There is no suggestion of any | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
wrongdoing on the part of Pamela Atchison who was appointed | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
deputy director of Public The agent, codenamed Stakeknife, | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
is alleged to have been a top Army spy inside the IRA involved in up | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
to 50 murders as head of the organisation's | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
internal security. He was named by the media | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
as former West Belfast man He denies the claim | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
he was Stakeknife. Tonight's Panorama includes | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
a recording of a him describing how suspected informers | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
would have been interrogated. In 2015, the Director | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
of Public Prosecutions ordered a new investigation called Operation | :03:12. | :03:27. | |
Kenova. It is reviewing cases | :03:28. | :03:28. | |
linked to Stakeknife as well as a decision made | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
by the Public Prosecution Service not to prosecute the agent over | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
allegations that he lied under oath. I have serious concerns | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
in relation to this decision. Having reviewed all | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
the available evidence I consider the original decision | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
did not take into account relevant considerations and took | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
into account irrelevant factors. This evening's BBC Panorama reveals | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
that the PPS decided not to prosecute Scappaticci for perjury | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
because he was in fear of his life. Among those involved in that | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
decision in 2006 was senior PPS lawyer Pamela Atchison who later | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
became deputy director. It's understood that | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
because of her involvement Barra McGrory asked her to step back | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
from all decision-making That period of extended leave ended | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
11 days ago when she retired. It's understood her retirement | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
was in line with her contract. In tonight 's programme the panorama | :04:28. | :04:52. | |
reporter asks about the deputy. Why has she been on gardening leave for | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
some months? It is not appropriate for me to discuss the personal | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
issues of the deputy director. In a statement on behalf of Pamela | :05:05. | :05:13. | |
Aitchison, she acted appropriately and responsibly. It said she would | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
welcome the opportunity to clarify role but is constrained by current | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
circumstances and is eagerly awaiting the opportunity to explain | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
her involvement. It is likely to be several years before the | :05:28. | :05:28. | |
investigation reports. And you can see that | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
Panorama programme at ten A lack of planning and funding has | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
meant that the biggest overhaul of the health service | :05:34. | :05:46. | |
here for decades had That's the conclusion | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
of Northern Ireland's auditors who say Transforming Your Care has | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
NOT lived up to expectations. The Health and Social Care Board | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
says while it accepts the report's findings it stresses | :05:54. | :06:04. | |
there have been achievements. Our Health Correspondent Marie | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
Louise Connolly reports. It was billed as the biggest | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
shake-up of health services in over The aim was to transfer services | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
away from hospitals and Hopes were high especially | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
for improving care for older people. All the people wanted | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
to see improved access to social care | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
services and services which would keep them | :06:26. | :06:26. | |
at home as long as possible | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
and maintain their independence. I think we've seen some | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
of that but we have The auditors also confirm that | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
transforming your care could have There has been a "significant | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
rockfall" on Skellig Michael off A large amount of rock | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
shale has fallen onto the Lighthouse Road beside the huts | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
used by staff during the summer. The Office of Public Works says it's | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
seriously concerned about the level of threat to the UNESCO | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
World Heritage Site and will carry out further geological | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
inspections and repair works. And with the weather forecast | :07:02. | :07:13. | |
here's Angie Philips. It was quite a nice end to the date | :07:14. | :07:25. | |
for the south and east in particular but all teams tonight. There will be | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
thicker cloud and spells of rain and some moderate bursts and the breeze | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
becomes quite dusty as well. It is a mild night no lower than 7 degrees 8 | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
degrees. Tomorrow will see some bright spells developing but not a | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
great start to the day and quite dull and damp through the morning | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
rush hour is that band of rain works site words. Once it clears through | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
it edges soaked into the Republic of Ireland. Also across northern | :07:51. | :07:55. | |

north of that bright spells and showers. It will be clearer as well | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
especially with that blustery north-west wind. Come the afternoon | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
we will have a mixture of bright spells and scattered showers. The | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
shows will turn to clear the way. It will be cooler tomorrow due to the | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
north-westerly breeze with temperatures of 10 degrees are 11 | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
degrees. It remains quite cool as we head towards Easter weekend. Maybe a | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
few showers around but generally more bright and wet weather, often | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
cloudy but hopefully a few bright spells at times. | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
