Police were alerted by a farmer who became suspicious after finding | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
a mound of clay and stones behind a derelict house. | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
A forensic team was brought in from England and and began work | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
The old farmstead is located at the end of a remote lane close | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
to a road where Arlene Arkinson was seen in a car with the convicted | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
child killer and rapist Robert southward. | :00:51. | :01:08. | |
The 15 year old disappeared in 1994 on her way home from a disco. | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
Robert Southward was the main suspect. | :01:13. | :01:13. | |
The local community will hope her remains have been found, it is hard | :01:14. | :01:27. | |
for everyone. But this afternoon | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
the police search team withdrew from the search site | :01:30. | :01:30. | |
and confirmed the operation had ended and that nothing | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
suspicious was found. The Arkinson family | :01:34. | :01:34. | |
have been informed. Opposition politicians have | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
expressed concern about the use of a special legal procedure | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
to appoint a new Stormont It's emerged that the First | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
and Deputy First Ministers used powers under what's known | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
as the Royal perogative to create the role for the former BBC | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
journalist David Gordon. Here's our political | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
editor, Mark Devenport. The First and Deputy First | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
ministers expressed delight at the appointment of David Gordon, | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
editor of BBC Radio Ulster's Nolan Show and a former | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
Belfast Telegraph journalist. They said they wanted | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
their new Press Secretary to provide them with expert advice | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
and spearhead the communication But Mr Gordon won't be a civil | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
servant, and the Newsletter has discovered that the law was changed | :02:14. | :02:24. | |
using a highly unusual procedure to enable the press | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
secretary's post to be filled Opposition politicians | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
are critical of the move. The First Minister has had every | :02:30. | :02:39. | |
opportunity to choose the regular process of bringing a proposed | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
amendment to the law, to the Assembly, subject to a motion. | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
Instead, they have chosen this obscure, questionable routes of | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
Royal prerogative. To change the law, pushing Sinn Fein so they could | :02:59. | :03:09. | |
appoint yet another spin Dr. That makes it about 160. How many spin | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
doctors do they need at Stormont? Quite a lot if they are going to | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
abuse power. The first and Deputy First Minister 's are entitled to | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
make the appointment, the statement said. The displaced the reaction as | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
panic and hysteria. The man who died in a road accident | :03:32. | :03:32. | |
in Belfast City Centre yesterday was William James Walker | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
from the north of the city. The 64 year old was knocked | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
down by a lorry at Dock street shortly after three | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The police are appealing for anyone | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
who was travelling on Dock Street or Brougham Street at the time | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
with a dashboard camera fitted Sport, and Jonathan Rea saw his | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
World Superbikes Championship lead cut to 26 points after crashing out | :03:49. | :03:55. | |

they are holding at around 11 to 13 degrees in the towns, | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
but they may just dip into single Tomorrow, we do have a change | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
on the way. We have a weather front | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
which is moving in off the Atlantic, edging its way eastwards | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
through the day. That's going to bring a spell of wet | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
weather for all of us at some stage. But to begin with, | :04:44. | :04:47. | |

some sunshine coming through, through central parts and down | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
towards the south-west. Not as warm as recent days, | :05:18. | :05:27. | |
but temperatures near average, fairly pleasant in the low 20s | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
towards the south-east. In behind that rain band | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
