What is behind the UVF / LVF Feud; interviews with key players. Programme begins with recent UFF threat to shoot anyone attacking Loyalist areas, a masked man reads the threats and then Spotlight journalist says he's the UFF man behind the Shankill feud. Film clips then reviews incidents of the seven weeks violence, with interviews. Kevin Magee asks the question, what is the feud about, is it gansterism as P. Mandelson says or is there a political dimension. Kevin Magee then shows film of the UFF parade down the Shankill which sparked the current trouble off, when UVF supporters attacked the LVF flag and the 'Rex Bar' was later shot at. Ex UDA prisoner Billy McQuiston gives his reaction, B. Hutchinson (PUP) views followed by report on killing of Jackie Coulter (UDA) and Bobby Mishood with Agnes Coulter's remarks. B. Hutchinson (PUP) won't blame UVF, then report on death of Sam Rocket (UVF) with his wife Cheryl's comments. This time the UFF political spokesman refused to condone the murder. Then review of John Adair's (UFF - 'C' Company Leader) position at present in jail, with film of the UVF's main target J. White walking to the 'Pony Club' with his bodyguards, White comments on this. Later up the Shankill Road, B Hutchinson's minder shows his flak jacket, then he talks to Kevin Magee in the 'Rex Bar'. Next profile is of the current geographical split of the Upper and Lower Shankill into UVF and UFF areas and the mass intimidation of civilians connected in some way to each. Chris McGimpsey (UUP Councillor) comments, then film clips of families anger at meeting on Shankill with interviews of people of all ages. Then in the Lower Shankill, Gina Adair claims the UVF are intimidating their own people. Then J. White (UDP) says some were put out but most left by their own choice. Then film clip of B. Hutchinson (PUP) addressing a rally in Ballymena, and he blames all the current ills on the UFF, calling them scum and drug dealers.

Tracey Coulter whose UDA father was killed gives her views on her eviction by the UVF, then a UDA supporter shows Kevin Magee a Lower shankill safe house for evacuees. Kevin Magee claims there is a district similarity between this man's voice and the voice of the masked UFF man reading their threatening statement, in June threatening the peace process. They commission a voice expert to examine the tape, they say its probable to highly probable both voices are the same. As it appears attempts are being made from outside the Shankill to broker a truce. Gary McMichael (UDP leader) gives his views on that possibility. Back on the shankill, a film clip of Gary 'Smicker' Smith is shown with ???, other clips of them at higher profiled demonstrations like Drumcree are shown, then profile of G Smith, he was serving sixteen years for conspiracy to murder. Then film clip of J. White accompanied by William 'Winky' Dodds, he's then also shown at Drumcree with a UFF tea shirt and Johny Adair. B.

Also profiled under the UFF banner is William Samuel Courtney known as 'Mo', he has convictions for assault, criminal damage, robberty etc., he's linked to a UDA restorative justice programme. Billy Hutchinson (PUP) continues his verbal attack on UDA's 'C' Company personnel. On the day the current feud began, the UFF's 'C' Company had fired volleys of gunfire in the air at a rally they held in the lower Shankill, J. White was on the stage, he denies one of the gunmen was Johny Adiar, one of the other gunmen is possibilty Gary 'Smicker' Smith. B. Hutchinson (PUP) says 'C' Company UDA links with the LVF were behind the current violence, these contacts were about drugs and realeining anti-agreement Loyalists. G. White (UDP) denies these claims, but a film clip from a LVF meeting in Portadown suggests otherwise, as Adair and his men were present, and filmed with Gary Fulton (LVF). Fulton also carried the coffin of Jackie Coutler (UDA), Coulter killed by the UVF. On the subject of where White gets his income it's revealed he lives in North Down, but owns six houses on the Shankill, he says he's worked hard, saved and invested. Profile of his murder of Paddy Wilson (SDLP), and his friend Irene Andrews, he recalls the current fall out he heard with B. Hutchinson he says over UVF killing Protestants. At the feud's beginning Hutchinson had went on a holiday to France, he also served sentence for killing two Catholics Michael Loughran and Edward Morgan. Film shows him running and he comments on his holiday trip, he comments on RUC treatment of him on his return. The UVF bombed a UUP office used by John White, in it RUC found bomb making materials, flim clip shown with J. White's remarks. Spotlight says these devices were similar to ones used to kill Frank Reillyn (RUC) in Portadown in 1998. Other weapons were uncovered in Snugville ???, White denies he owned it but once had an interest in it, he says. Spotlight says Adair was returned to jail because he was building up a drugs empire, the programme profiles 'the drugs house' on the lower Shankill. B Hutchinson and J. White give their views on drug dealing and their organisation's penalties. White blames Hutchinson then vice versa, Hutchinson comments on bomb attack on his house, then John White comments on the anti-agreement dimension to the feud. Hutchinson wants 'C' Company disbanded, he believes the killing will continue. Kevin Magee ends by saying it may be wrong to judge a man on the word of his enemies, but J.

Who Bombed Omagh
Description:
Reporter John Ware names gang behind the 1998 Omagh Bomb and asks why they have not been charged. Begins with a voice-over by John Ware describing Omagh on Saturday 15 August 1999 and showing a reconstruction of the bombers parking their car. Then as voice over recites the causality figures, a real film clip is shown of the horrific aftermath, and Blair saying these people will never win, democracy will triumph over evil. Then B. Ahern says we will defeat them, but two years on no one is convicted. Ronnie Flanagan (RUC Chief Constable) comments, he has intelligence on bombers not evidence. This absence of prosecutions is a further burden on the victim's relatives, Bernie Doherty comments. Then John Ware asks himself what is the evidence against the bombers, and proceeds to highlight the intelligence known, he begins with the stealing of the red Vauxhall in Carrickmacross, then in South Armagh it was loaded with a bomb. J. Ware explains the list of people involved and their skills. The Garda say the car thief stole the car and contacted an intermediary, telephone records prove the intermediary made three calls to a builder in Culloville, he's named as Seamus Daly (30), film clip shown. Garda have arrested him but he's been released. On the morning of Omagh, the bomb car travelled North with scout care ahead of it. Meanwhile in Buncrana, a young boy was pleading with his mother to let him go to Omagh with friends, he was Oran Doherty (8), his mother recalls the events. The RUC believe the bombers communicated by mobile phone as they drove the cars to Omagh. This comes from an analysis of calls made in that area at that time. John Ware explains how the technology works, there are two mobile phones whose calls that day are of special interest, one of the phones belonged to Colin Murphy, profile and film clip shown. The other phone belonged to Murphy's works foreman. Murphy told Garda he was in his own 'Emerald Bar' before Omagh when he lent his mobiles to another builder called Seamus Daly, Murphy implied he had no option. Then John Ware camera crew then confronts Colin Murphy, and asks why he gave his phones to Daly. He denies doing that as he drives off. Back to the bomb run reconstruction, it's 12.41 p.m., the first call is made on phone used by Daly. At 1.13 p.m. a second call, these were from the scout car to the bomb car. Then an interview with Michael Gallagher, hears him comment on his son's, Adrian (21), trip into Omagh that day. At 1.29 p.m. another call was made from scout car to bomb car, by 2.00 p.m. the mobile was in the Omagh area, because at 1.57 p.m. another call was made, then the mother of Alan Radford (16) recalls going into Town together every Saturday. She narrates the sequence of events. At 2.18 p.m. CCTV films the Vauxhall passing a petrol station, a minute later another phone call between the cars as it parked at 2.19 p.m. and then armed. The whole team then left the scout car, then Elizabeth Gibson recalls her sister Ester (36) and the events that morning in their house. As the bombers drove through South Armagh a phone box was used to send a bomb warning to UTV, reconstruction shown, two other warnings phone in, all used the codeword 'Martha Pope', John Ware asks who made the warning calls, phone boxes removed by forensics, but drew a blank. However the bombers phone texted the phone of Oliver Trainor, he's filmed covertly, he told Garda his phone was stolen, but it's odd another of his mobiles phoned his missing mobile twice, and on 30 April 1998, fifty calls were made from his mobiles at the time of Lisburn and Newry bomb attacks. Trainor is supposedly linked to the Thirty Two County Sovereignty Committee. A film clip then shows Frankie Mackey (Councillor) speaking at a meeting. Ware secretly films members including Liam Campbell (O.C. of the RIRA). Ware goes to his house no answer. Then Oliver Trainor closes shop, to avoid Ware who shouts out his mobile phone questions, Liam Campbell was also inside the shop, then Ken Skelton profiles his wife Mena (39). On 15 August 1998 the last mobile call made was at Ballygawley at 2.38 p.m. heading south to the border, it was made to mobile believed to be held by Liam Campbell, then an actual recording is played of the RUC men beginning the street clearance after the waning. The contradictions in the warnings are highlighted, then Kevin Skelton recalls the RUC moving them and others unknowingly towards the bomb car. Still photo of bomb car shown, at 3.00 p.m. Oran Doherty was having his lunch with his friends, his mother recalls, then actual RUC recording of bomb exploding, and video tape of chaos shown, Mrs Radford recalls glass in her head, Kevin Skelton tells of finding his wife and his daughter. Sam Potter (Army Doctor, Captain) describes the bloody scene he saw, with more tape shown, he recalls finding dead mother and child he's haunted by their faces, twenty nine killed mostly women. Ware comments on causality list, Mrs Radford recalls again, then Michael Gallagher comments on visiting Tyrone Hospital and what he saw there, then Elizabeth Gibson's recollections, at 3.30 p.m. the phone linked to Seamus Daly phoned a businessman, that man told Garda the caller was S. Daly, but he won't give evidence in Court. Back to Mrs Radford's search for her son Alan, with film of people at the hospital searching through lists of names, then M Gallagher takes up the story of searching. That night in Dundalk's 'Emerald Bar' some of the bombers gathered, S. Daly approached Colin Murphy's foreman of whom he had taken the phone and made light of the atrocity in Omagh, telling the foreman "you drove the Yoke to Omagh", the foreman won't give evidence in court, again John Ware tried to confront Daly at his farm house but got no response to his shouts, nor his phone calls. Ware say fifteen men are suspected of involvement but without witnesses giving evidence, the intense police case is stalled. Ronnie Flanagan (RUC Chief Constable) gives his view on this matter, then Mrs Radford talks about getting her son's body back, followed by Michael Gallagher about his son Adrian, then Bernie Doherty recalls Oran's facial expression. Then Kevin Skelton on losing his wife, then John Ware appeals to bombers consciences. (Wednesday)

Trimble won fifty two votes to twenty six, then it's round three, the decommissioning issue again, as Trimble prepared for the end of month UUC meeting, this round is the dangerous one, Paul Bew profiles Trimble's importance to the GFA. Then in the studio live, J. Donaldson (UUP MP) and Alan McFarland (UUP MLA) debate the issues, Donaldson is asked firstly why doesn't he mount a leadership issue, he avoids the question of personalities and lists the issues he believes are important, no guns no government is the UUP election pledge, he says he wants that policy reinstated, and hopes to persuade the UUC of that. Then Alan McFarland highlights the fact the party always backed Trimble through twenty one different votes, not at decommissioning, feedback executive can?t be sustained and Trimble has walked before, McFarland wants Republican action now and that is problem largely for the two governments. Donaldson mentions the South Antrim by-election loss to the DUP and the grass roots UUP feelings on decommissioning issue. Donaldson hopes for consensus on pulling the plug, McFarland recalls Northern Ireland voted for the GFA, the reality is SF operates under union flag, that's progress, he says. Trimble is architect of GFA and crucial to it's success. At this point the programme switches to a film report from London where the two governments met today to shore up Trimble's position, on radio Peter Mandelson spelt out starkly how serious he views this current crisis, without Trimble we won't have the GFA. After the Prime Minister's meeting B. Ahern comments on Trimble's difficulties, and hopes for four resolutions to the issues, also afterward Manderson said he hoped a second IRA arms dump inspection would take place, this had been rumoured earlier. Next meetings to assist Trimble will be next week, but for some political progress will only come with product. Next segment looks at the decommissioning issue from the Republican view with Alex Maskey (SF) interview in the studio, has asked when will IRA decommission, he reviews the IRA's moves in recent times and says he's not interested in saving Trimble just the GFA. He says in May the IRA made commitments which it has kept. Maskey comments on lack of demilitarisation and police reform as yet. The next problem between the parties discussed is police reform. Gerry Adams (SF) outlines his position saying Blair has to get right or lose the possibility of civic policing. Then Trimble outlines the situation as he sees it, in the undermining of Unionist confidence in the GFA. Next in the studio A. Magennis (SDLP) and William McCrea (DUP) discuss the Pattten reforms, Patten imposed, then William McCrea outlines his objections to Patten, which is implementation of the Republican agenda as he sees it, both men argue back and forth.

Then David Moxtin (Orangeman) from Lurgan who did protest shows report around his local lodge and defends the Orange position. The Reverend John Dunlop gives his views on balancing the rights of Orangemen and residents, but he points out wider societies rights shouldn't also suffer.
