:00:18. > :00:28.Michael Fitzpatrick has been to the scene.
:00:29. > :00:33.The altercation took place in this part of the city centre shortly
:00:34. > :00:39.before 1am this morning. Ambulance crews were called to treat
:00:40. > :00:44.31-year-old Paul McCready, unconscious on the street outside a
:00:45. > :00:48.bar. The North Belfast man was taken to the Royal Victoria Hospital but
:00:49. > :00:52.later died from his injuries. This afternoon, the police, who are
:00:53. > :00:57.treating Paul McCready's death as murder, carried out an examination
:00:58. > :00:59.of the loyal end of the street surrounding the incident. This
:01:00. > :01:04.altercation took place at one of the busiest times of the week in the
:01:05. > :01:08.Cathedral Quarter. The police said there would be quite a number of
:01:09. > :01:09.people in the area at the time who witnessed what happened. They have
:01:10. > :01:15.appealed to them to come forward. A man has died in a car
:01:16. > :01:18.crash in County Down. It happened on the Saintfield Road
:01:19. > :01:21.in Crossgar early this morning. A 60-year-old man is in a serious
:01:22. > :01:27.condition in hospital after he was assaulted
:01:28. > :01:28.in Sperrin Park in And a 30-year-old man has been
:01:29. > :01:37.charged with causing grievous bodily harm after an assault
:01:38. > :01:39.on a 32-year-old man at Waterworks Park in
:01:40. > :01:44.north Belfast yesterday. The Democratic Unionist MP,
:01:45. > :01:47.Ian Paisley, says he intends to press the UK Government over
:01:48. > :01:50.allegations his father's phone The claims were made in a newspaper
:01:51. > :01:58.article by the former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott,
:01:59. > :02:00.who said he was told of the tap by then Prime
:02:01. > :02:10.Minister Tony Blair in 2005. Mr Prescott has opened up the black
:02:11. > :02:13.box into the dark arts of the Government. The Wilson protocol
:02:14. > :02:18.makes it clear that Members of Parliament are not to be wiretapped
:02:19. > :02:23.or slipped on by National Security Agency 's. Clearly, that has
:02:24. > :02:26.happened in this case. We were tipped off at the time of something
:02:27. > :02:31.like this was going on. I think that made us very alert to what should be
:02:32. > :02:35.said. I know that at the time, my father personally challenged Tony
:02:36. > :02:40.Blair about this and Tony Blair denied it. That, I think, shows the
:02:41. > :02:47.level of deceit to which the player Government was prepared to GOTO. --
:02:48. > :02:52.the Tony Blair Government. A confidential telephone line
:02:53. > :02:54.is to be set up in Mauritius for people to give information

:02:58. > :03:01.to the island of her husband John McAreavey to try to help
:03:02. > :03:03.the police investigation. From Mauritius,
:03:04. > :03:07.Mark Simpson reports. One of the first things John
:03:08. > :03:10.McAreavey did in Mauritius was talk to his lawyer. They discussed plans
:03:11. > :03:13.to make a public appeal for more information about Michaela
:03:14. > :03:15.McAreavey's murder. In an interview at his office, the lawyer said the
:03:16. > :03:23.information did not have to go directly to the police. We can get
:03:24. > :03:28.anonymous information via the hotline. This is how it is done when
:03:29. > :03:31.you want to send information to the police and you don't want your
:03:32. > :03:39.identity to be revealed. Confidential hotline? Yes. The
:03:40. > :03:42.police are fully OK with that. John McAreavey will give more details on
:03:43. > :03:47.this at a news conference on Tuesday. At that conference, he will
:03:48. > :03:50.try to send a direct message to the people of Morrish is. He will say
