Ombudsman Loughinisland report: police failed families

NI police did not properly investigate the murders of six people in a County Down bar in 1994, a report has said. coach outlet Relatives of those who died have claimed the security forces colluded with the UVF gang behind the attack on the Heights Bar in Loughinisland. The Police Ombudsman said the probe lacked diligence but there was insufficient evidence the failings were due to police protecting informants. The police have apologised for a lack of communication and inconsistency. Indiscriminate On 18 June 1994, the rural pub was busy with people watching the Republic of Ireland play Italy in a World Cup match. Nike Air Max LTD Just after 2200 BST, two UVF members walked in and fired indiscriminately. The six men who died were 34-year-old Adrian Rogan, Malcolm Jenkinson, 53, Barney Greene, 87, Daniel McCreanor 59, Patrick O’Hare, 35, and Eamon Byrne, 39. All were Catholic civilians. Mr Greene was one of the oldest people to be killed in the Northern ireland Troubles. Sixteen people have been arrested in connection with the attack but no-one has ever been convicted. The relatives of the victims believe the police’s investigation was impeded by its desire to protect its informers within the ranks of the UVF. coach factory outlet ‘Suspicious’ « These cumulatively indicate a lack of cohesive and focused effort over the years, » Mr Hutchinson said. « The families have been failed by the intermittent focus and attention. » Relatives had alleged that police inquiries related to the getaway car were not pursued rigorously due to the involvement of a police informant in its chain of ownership. « Whilst I will neither confirm nor deny whether or not any individual was a police informant, I am satisfied that no suspects were afforded protection as informants, » Mr Hutchinson added They made a formal complaint to the office of the Police Ombudsman in 2006. Nike Air Max Plus The current ombudsman Al Hutchinson, who met the families prior to the publication of his report on Friday, said that is still their contention. « I acknowledge their belief and while there is reason to be suspicious over certain police actions I consider there is insufficient evidence to establish that collusion took place. » He added that police had demonstrated significant efforts to arrest suspects but had failed to communicate effectively with the victims and survivors of the attack. He has made three recommendations which he said were designed to reinvigorate the police investigation. A PSNI spokesperson said it accepted the recommendations made by the ombudsman and was fully commited to apprehending those responsible for the attack. cheap coach handbags outlet « There is a great sadness and frustration for all of us in policing that those responsible for this horrific crime have never been brought to justice, » he said. « An ongoing Serious Crime Review will seek to re-establish direct lines of communication with the families. » The families of those who died are due to hold a press conference later on Friday morning.Nike Air Max Tailwind Nike Air Max Triax 94 LE Nike Air Max T-Zone LE Nike Air Max Wright Nike Air Griffey Max

Photographer shot in second night of Belfast rioting

Violence has flared for a second night at a sectarian interface near a Catholic enclave in east Belfast. Cheap Nike Dunk Low Three shots have been fired in the lower Newtownards Road-Short Strand area late on Tuesday but the gunman’s target is not known. A press photographer was shot in the leg during the incident. A barrage of petrol bombs, missiles and fireworks have been thrown at police lines. Two water canon vehicles have arrived but have not been used yet. There is a large police presence in the area following Monday’s sectarian clashes. The trouble has been reported as the most serious in the area for a decade. Earlier on Tuesday a senior police officer described shots aimed at officers during rioting in east Belfast on Monday night as « attempted murder ». Nike Air Max 90-Boots Violence erupted at the interface at about 2100 BST on Monday. Chief Superintendent Alan McCrum said the trouble was « orchestrated » by the loyalist paramilitary group, the UVF. Two men are being treated in hospital for gun shot wounds. In all 11 shots were fired – six from the nationalist side and five from loyalists. Two shots hit a police Land Rover. Police said it was « clearly an attempt to murder police officers ». Nike outlet Petrol bombs, fireworks, bricks, stones and smoke bombs were thrown and homes were damaged during the disturbances. The PSNI said between 400 to 500 people were involved in the disorder. Sectarian interface Chief Supt McCrum said the trouble started after a group of young men came out of the loyalist Mount and Castlereagh Street areas, and made their way into the Catholic enclave of Short Strand. « That precipitated a response from the community in the Short Strand, and then we were left with two communities, who for the next four hours were seeking to involve themselves in conflict across what was, and continues to be a very challenging interface in the city. » Nike Air Max 93 « I am making a very serious statement and as far as people in the Short Strand are concerned, the UVF launched an attack on the Catholic community in this area. I think it’s absolutely disgraceful. » Laser pens were used to try and ‘blind’ police. One officer was treated for an eye injury in hospital. Police said they are also investigating a report of an attempted hijacking of a bus.Cheap Women Nike Dunk SB High Cheap Women Nike Dunk SB Low Cheap Women Nike Dunk High Cheap Women Nike Dunk Low Cheap Kids Dunk High

Greece: Government to face vote of confidence

The Greek government is due to face a vote of confidence, a crucial first step towards gaining a vital 12bn euro ($17bn; £10bn) loan. Women Nike Dunk SB High If the government survives the vote, Greece’s parliament will be asked to back the latest spending cuts – worth 28bn euro – on 28 June. These austerity measures and other reforms have to be introduced before the European Union and International Monetary Fund release the funds. Greece needs the loan to pay its debts. Mass demonstrations Tuesday’s vote of confidence is on the new Greek cabinet, which Prime Minister George Papandreou put in place last Friday. Nike Air Max Command Mr Papandreou hopes the new cabinet, and specifically the new Finance Minister, Evangelos Venizelos, will help secure parliament’s backing for further austerity measures that are already proving deeply unpopular with the Greek people. At the weekend eurozone finance ministers decided to postpone their decision on whether to grant Greece the 12bn-euro loan until the country introduces the additional spending cuts and privatisation programmes. Greece needs this aid – the latest tranche of the EU and IMF’s 110bn euro aid package – by July to be able to keep up with payments to the creditors of its huge debts. If the Greek parliament does back the austerity measures, the eurozone finance ministers will meet again on 3 July, with the funds expected to be released by the middle of next month. Nike outlet However, lawmakers are having to ponder their decision in the face of mass demonstrations, strikes, and even riots. The latest protest against the cutbacks involves workers at Greece’s state-owned electricity company, who are on a 48-hour walkout. BBC Europe editor Gavin Hewitt, who is in Athens, says ministers have argued that without further austerity measures in exchange for a new bail-out Greece is heading for bankruptcy, but many Greeks appear to prefer that option to further austerity. Mr Venizelos said the decision of the eurozone finance ministers to delay the loan showed that urgent action was now needed. « We have plenty to do, » he said. Nike Air Max LeBron 8 Olli Rehn, the European Union’s Monetary Affairs Commissioner, urged Greece to continue with its austerity measures. « The greatest weight of responsibility lies on the shoulders of the new Greek government, » he said. Mr Rehn added that the situation in Greece was the worst crisis Europe had faced « since the Second World War ». New aid A new aid package for Greece about the same size as the first, which was passed in May last year, was also agreed in principle by EU finance ministers on Sunday. Women Nike Dunk SB Low The new package, to be outlined by July, will include loans from other eurozone countries. It is also expected to feature a voluntary contribution from private investors, who will be invited to buy up new Greek bonds as old ones mature. Officials said this money had to be freely given, or it would be seen as technical default on Greece’s debt repayments. If Greece were to default – or seen to be in default – it would mean massive losses for European banks that hold Greek debt, including the European Central Bank. Officials said the new plan was expected to fund Greece into late 2014 and total about 120bn euros. Nike Air Max Lebron VII(7) Inspectors for the EU and IMF will make another visit to Athens on Tuesday in what the European Commission said would be a « technical mission ». The visit, which comes after teams from both bodies have spent months poring through the country’s accounts, is unscheduled and the Commission did not say what its objective would be.Women Nike Dunk High Women Nike Dunk Low Kids Dunk High Kids Dunk Low D&G shoes

Sega says hackers stole data of 1.29 million users

Sega has confirmed that the personal data of 1.29 million of its customers was stolen in an attack on its systems. Nike outlet It comes after the computer games firm said on Friday that e-mail addresses and dates of birth stored on the Sega Pass database were accessed by hackers. However, Sega continues to say that payment information, such as credit card numbers, remained safe. Sega spokeswoman Yoko Nagasawa said: « We are deeply sorry for causing trouble to our customers. » She added: « We want to work on strengthening security. » Ms Nagasawa added that it was not yet known when the Sega Pass online network could be restarted. ‘Investigation’ Nike Air Max Triax 94 LE In an e-mail sent to Sega Pass users on Friday, the company wrote: « Over the last 24 hours we have identified that unauthorised entry was gained to our Sega Pass database. « We immediately took the appropriate action to protect our consumers’ data and isolate the location of the breach. We have launched an investigation into the extent of the breach of our public systems. » Sega explained that it had reset all passwords and urged customers to change their log-on details on other services and websites where they used the same credentials. It added that password details had not been stored in plain text, suggesting that they may have been secured by some kind of encryption. Nike outlet Sega is the latest in a line of games companies to suffer hacking and denial of service attacks on their online services. Nintendo, Sony and several multi-player gaming communities have been hit in recent months. The hacker group Lulz Security, which has been involved in a number of high profile attacks, including one against Sega rival Nintento, has denied involvement in the Sega case. Instead it showed some sympathy for the company on its Twitter feed. Nike Air Max T-Zone LE « We want to help you destroy the hackers that attacked you.

Moroccans demonstrate over king’s proposed reforms

About 10,000 protesters have rallied in Casablanca against King Mohammed’s proposed constitutional changes, which they say do not go far enough. Cheap Nike Dunk Low The February 20 reform movement also rallied in other Moroccan cities. In the capital Rabat, several hundred marched in support of the reforms. On Friday, the king proposed slightly loosening his current absolute power. But he said he would keep total control of Morocco’s security and foreign policy, as well as matters of religion. King Mohammed VI’s proposals will be put to a referendum on 1 July, but critics say this leaves little time for a real debate. Nike Air Max 97 They want constitutional changes drawn up by a democratically elected committee instead. Activists say Morocco’s 400-year-old dynasty has a long history of enacting superficial reforms. Like many countries across the Middle East and North Africa, Morocco has seen a growing call for major reforms to its political system in the past year. The country has also been facing severe economic challenges with high unemployment and rising levels of poverty. Nike outlet

Abuja ‘bomber’ hits Nigeria police headquarters

wo people, including a bomber, have died in an explosion at Nigeria’s police headquarters in the capital, Abuja, the police say. Cheap Nike Dunk SB Low Police spokesman Olusola Amore said Islamist group Boko Haram was suspected of being behind the attack. The blast in the car park of the police base destroyed many vehicles and a large plume of smoke could be seen rising from the scene. A Red Cross spokesman told the BBC that another four bodies had been recovered. « Six to be precise. Six bodies from the explosion, » Nigerian Red Cross official Taiye Olaniyi told the BBC’s Focus on Africa programme, adding that many of them had been « very badly mutilated ». Nike Air Max Light Seven other people were wounded in the explosion, five of whom were being treated in hospital, the Red Cross said. The BBC’s Jonah Fisher in Lagos says that, for the Nigerian authorities, the attack is an embarrassing strike at the very heart of their security establishment. In the last few weeks, Boko Haram, which usually operates in the north-eastern city of Maiduguri, has been stepping up its attacks on security targets. The group said it was behind a series of bombings in the capital that took place hours after President Goodluck Jonathan’s inauguration last month. Nike outlet On Tuesday, Nigeria’s police chief promised to decisively deal with the group by sending more troops and equipment to the north, declaring they would be finished within a few months. ‘Windows shaking’ « Definitely we are suspecting a group that goes by the name Boko Haram who have been issuing threats upon threats for which the police are rising up to that challenge, » AFP news agency quotes Mr Amore as telling reporters after the blast. He said the attack on the car park of the police headquarters happened at about 1000 GMT leading « to the death of the suicide bomber and a police traffic warden ». Nike Air Max LTD The police spokesman said a Mercedes packed with explosives had joined a police convoy that included the inspector general of police. When the vehicles reached police headquarters the car with the bomb was diverted into an adjacent car park. It then exploded. It is still not clear whether the driver wanted to kill himself, our reporter says. Residents say the explosion was heard across the city. « My windows were shaking and I heard the loud noise. I saw smoke coming up, » Reuters news agency quotes one witness as telling a local television station. Nike Dunk SB High A bus commuter who saw the blast told the BBC’s Focus on Africa programme: « All of a sudden there was this loud explosion. Everybody was scared and people began to run around. » He said police and Red Cross officials had rushed to the scene, and had moved people away from the area. The police said 33 cars had been damaged beyond repair and 40 more had been partially damaged by the explosion. The BBC’s Chris Ewokor at the scene said many of the cars were burnt beyond recognition. The Boko Haram sect accuses Nigeria’s government of being corrupted by Western ideas and wants to overthrow the state and impose Islamic law on the country. Nike Air Max Plus It has killed dozens of people, mostly shot by gunmen riding motorbikes, in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state. Last year, officials blamed two explosions in Abuja during celebrations to mark the 50th anniversary of Nigeria’s independence, on militants from the oil-rich Niger Delta around Port Harcourt.Nike Dunk SB Low Nike Dunk SB Mid Women Nike Dunk SB High Women Nike Dunk SB Low Women Nike Dunk High

Public sector workers back mass strike over pensions

Up to 750,000 public sector workers will hold a co-ordinated strike later this month after members of a third major union backed industrial action. Nike outlet The PCS said its 290,000 members had to defend themselves against « attacks » on their pensions by the government. But ministers called it « irresponsible » and said the 32.4% turnout showed the strike had « extremely limited support ». The civil servants will walk out on 30 June – the same days as hundreds of thousands of teachers and lecturers. The National Union of Teachers and the Association of Teachers and Lecturers have announced a nationwide walkout, affecting thousands of schools in England and Wales. Nike Air Max 1 Alongside action from PCS members – who include court staff and immigration officers – it will be the biggest outbreak of industrial unrest in the public sector for many years. Labour leader Ed Miliband wrote on Twitter: « Strikes are a sign of failure on both sides. Government needs to get round table not ramp up rhetoric. » ‘Daylight robbery’ The PCS said 61.1% of those balloted voted in favour of strike action, while 83.6% backed action short of a strike. General secretary Mark Serwotka said every person in the country would feel the effects of the strikes – and the month-long overtime ban that will follow. Nike outlet « Schools will be shut, jobcentres will be closed, driving licences wont be issued, queues will form at ports and airports, » he said. Mr Serwotka said civil servants were being asked to work up to eight years longer and accept a three-fold rise in their contributions, while also seeing their eventual payments halved. « It’s absolute daylight robbery. « I don’t think it’s surprising that people will want to defend themselves and if you’re going to defend yourselves it obviously makes sense that you make common cause with council workers, health workers and teachers because we all face the same attacks. » Coach Jewelrys Mr Serwotka accused Cabinet Secretary Francis Maude of « deliberately trying to mislead people » about the size of an average public sector pension. Mr Maude said a worker on the median salary of ￡23,000 would have a pension pot of ￡500,000 – equivalent to about ￡15,000 a year – after 40 years’ service. But Mr Serwotka said the true average for low paid staff was ￡4,200 a year – « a poverty pension » – and Mr Maude’s figures were based on an unreasonable life expectancy of 105 years. Further talks between the government and union leaders are scheduled for 27 June, but Mr Serwotka said negotiations so far had been « a farce ». Nike sb shoes « There is no indication whatsoever that the government is having any second thoughts, » he said. « What they’ve told us is at every meeting is that they will not compromise. » He said he believed this would be the first co-ordinated strike of many, with anything up to four million workers potentially walking out in October if nothing was done. ‘Progress made’ The largest civil service union, Unison, has already said it is also « going down the road to industrial action », and following the PCS vote, the Prison Officers Association said every one of its UK branches would hold protest meetings on 30 June as an act of solidarity. Brendan Barber, leader of the TUC, told the BBC he was « going to see what happens with the talks » before deciding on the next step to take. Nike Air Max 90 Mr Serwotka said the turnout would have been much higher if unions were allowed to use modern methods, such as online voting, to carry out their ballots and there were no calls from politicians for minimum thresholds in other kinds of election. Lord Hutton’s review rejected any suggestion that public sector pensions were « gold-plated », but said that in order to make them affordable for the future, millions of employees should work longer, receive less and have their pensions linked to career average earnings, rather than final salaries.Nike Dunk High Nike Dunk Low Cheap Nike Dunk SB High Cheap Nike Dunk SB Low Nike Dunk SB High

Nokia and Apple settle patent dispute

Nokia and Apple have agreed a technology licensing agreement that ends the long-running legal dispute between the two firms. Kids Dunk High « The agreement will result in settlement of all patent litigation between the companies, » Nokia said. Nokia sued Apple for patent infringements in 2009 and extended the action in December last year. Apple had countersued, accusing Nokia of infringing its patents. Nokia said Apple had agreed a one-off payment, the value of which was not disclosed, and ongoing royalties to use its technologies. Nike Air Max 90-Boots Apple said the deal covered both companies’ patents. Counter claims « We are very pleased to have Apple join the growing number of Nokia licensees, » said Nokia’s chief executive Stephen Elop. « This settlement demonstrates Nokia’s industry-leading patent portfolio and enables us to focus on further licensing opportunities in the mobile communications market. » Apple said the two firms had agreed to « drop all of our current lawsuits and enter into a licence covering some of each other’s patents, but not the majority of the innovations that make the iPhone unique ». Nike outlet « We’re glad to put this behind us and get back to focusing on our respective businesses. » ‘Positive news’ Nokia’s various claims against Apple included alleged patent infringements of touch interfaces, caller ID, display illumination, and 3G and wi-fi technology. Apple had also claimed that Nokia had infringed many of its patents. Both sides had always denied each other’s claims. « This is the first positive news from Nokia for a long time. They can both focus on their businesses now, and the dispute was settled to Nokia’s advantage, » said Mikael Rautanen at research group Inderes in Helsinki. Coach Colette Handbags At the end of last month, Nokia said it expected sales and profit margins for the current quarter to be well below its previous forecasts. The company has been struggling to reposition itself in the rapidly-growing smartphone sector, where it is trying to make up ground lost to competitors such as Apple’s iPhone and phones using Google’s Android operating system.Kids Dunk Low D&G shoes Cheap Nike Dunk SB Mid Cheap Nike Dunk High Cheap Nike Dunk Low

Rochester inmates ‘spend too long in cells’

Inmates at a Kent young offenders’ institution (YOI) spend too much time in cells and are sometimes let out for only an hour a day, a report has said. Nike outlet The report on Rochester YOI by HM Chief Inspector of Prisons Nick Hardwick followed an inspection in February. Mr Hardwick said his overwhelming impression was of young men « sleeping their way through their sentences ». The Prison Service said it was working to improve purposeful activity and services for vulnerable prisoners. Rochester YOI holds young men aged 18 to 21. ‘Undemanding activities’ Nike Air Max 360 In his report, Mr Hardwick said: « When we went round the prison in the middle of a sunny day, the majority of prisoners were locked in their cells and most had draped something over their windows and were sleeping. « These early impressions were born out by what we found on the inspection. In our spot check, we found 27% of prisoners locked in their cells even in the working part of the day. » He also found there were too few other opportunities for exercise, although there was good PE provision, and walking to activities was the most exercise some prisoners had. Nike sb shoes He added: « The activities on offer were often undemanding; work was repetitive and mundane, such as lining soft fruit punnets with bubble wrap. » Violent incidents had increased from 16 a month in 2009 to 20 a month in 2010, he added. He said: « The large area occupied by the prison and the challenging behaviour of some of the young men it held undoubtedly made it a difficult prison to run. » ‘Most feel safe’ Mr Hardwick said the levels of actual and potential violence in the prison needed to be tackled. Coach Boots But he said while some prisoners tried to remain within sight of staff in order to be safe, and also guarded their cells to avoid theft, most prisoners felt safe. He also found drug use was low. Michael Spurr, chief executive of the National Offender Management Service, which runs the Prison Service and Probation Service, said he was pleased inspectors found most inmates felt safe and there was low drug use. He said: « The governor and staff are working hard to minimise violence and use of force, and improve purposeful activity and services for vulnerable prisoners. nike dunk shoes « All these actions, combined with already effective resettlement, will reduce the likelihood of reoffending and thereby protect the public. »cheap nike shoes store Nike Dunk High Nike Dunk Low Cheap Nike Dunk SB High Cheap Nike Dunk SB Low
