The forecast tomorrow was for Heavy Rain Andi Forecast tomorrow was for heavy rain and i think there was a sense that trump team felt that if they were going to do this kind of thing, they we re going to do this kind of thing, they were hacked to do it the night before. They had to do it. Paying respects to abra ham before. They had to do it. Paying respects to abraham lincoln.

Martin mcguinness, the ira figure who was a political figure is to retire from frontline politics. He said he would not be able to continue fighting the Upcoming Election Campaign because of Serious Health problems. Mr mcguinnesss medical opponents have paid tribute to his commitment to providing sta ble to his commitment to providing stable government for ireland. Martin mcguinness is one of the most Controversial League is in british and irish politics. A centralfigure of both Northern Irelands pain and peace. Now he is standing down due to illness. I have to be honest to myself. You capable . Physically capable fighting this election . The honest and that im not. His Background Lay in the civil rights lights in londonderry, but Martin Mcguinness chose violent resistance. By the age of 21 he was second in command of the ira in derry are talking about the bombing campaign. Can you say whether the bombing is likely to stop in the near future in response to any public demand . Well, we will always take on the considerations and the feelings of the people of derry. These feelings will be passed onto our hq in dublin, you know . He served two Prison Sentences in the irish republic. He was also convicted of ira membership. He openly attended ira events. He denied that he was the ira Chief Of Staff but said he regarded it as a condiment. We dont believe that winning elections and winning any amount as asa as a compliment. We dont believe that winning elections and winning any amount of votes will bring freedom in ireland. At the end of the day it will be the cutting edge of the ira which will bring freedom. Today he was asked whether he had any regrets about his days in the ira. Well, i think people have to consider the circumstances that existed in this city when i did join the ira. We had a city where people were being murdered by the ruc, where they were being murdered wholesale, as it were, on Bloody Sunday by the parachute regiment, and the fact that many young people like myself, supported by many thousands of people in the city, im not saying they were the majority, decided to fight back. But i dont regret any of that. But he was one of the ira leaders who recognise that continued violence would not bring further political gains. In 1994 there was a ceasefire. It laid the foundation for peace talks. Sinn fein nominated him as its chief negotiator, leading to the good friday agreement and eventually power sharing. Bitter foes sat alongside each other in a new assembly. Myjourneys been a long journey. Ive been over 25 years working on building the peace. But many could not forget his past. I want justice for my father. I believe that you know the names of the killers of my father. No, i dont. And i want you to tell me who they are. I dont know their names. But the man who had fought the British State eventually won recognition as a peacemaker. There you go. Thank you very much. Im still alive. Tonight in derry many people have struggled a leader so struggled to forgive a leader so steeped in the violence of the past that he earned grudging respect for his commitment to peace. The gunmen who turned politician had the authority to make compromises. The journalist and author David Mckittrick says mr mcguinness decision to step down, will be a great loss for sinn fein, but it was clear he was in poor health. I think, as you have seen him from just looking at the guy, he is in a bad way. His health and his appearance rapidly deteriorated within a month or two. It was a bit ofa within a month or two. It was a bit of a shock when we turned on a tv set a few weeks ago and there was r as no surprise the old mcgeh¢ as no surprise the old megaflees how much as no surprise the old megsneg . How much is as no surprise the old megsnugget how much is at a as no surprise the old mseeflnnggg how much is at a loss mcguinness. How much is at a loss for sinn fein and politics . Allan a loss because he has been a big figure in the early days. Mash when he went into politics he suddenly blossomed. He started to really concentrate on winning friends and influencing people. He did so. He made a lot of friends and an developedi relationship in all an developed a relationship in all sorts of unlikely places, for example, buckingham palace. He had various meetings with the queen. He will go down in history as somebody who started off as one wing of Parliament Terry and ended up as somebody who spent ten years as Deputy Minister of island. We are seeing the passing of the guard ireland. We have also had paisley who has passed away. Is there a sense that Northern Ireland is entering a new phase now that could be really quite stable destabilising and turbulence . That could be the case. The people that ta keover could be the case. The people that takeover in various other parties and sources of power as well is taking over mcguinness, they are not the type of giant that were used to know. Not all of the giants were big Friendly Giant but a lot of them we re Friendly Giant but a lot of them were people that knew what they were doing, played a big part and had decades of experience. That may not be the case now. Who do you think will lead to sinn fein into the elections in two months . There is a variety of people. The name you hear most variety of people. The name you hear m Ost Ofte N Variety of people. The name you hear most often is con murphy who is the quy most often is con murphy who is the guy who spent some time in the maze prison for Ira Offensive conor. He then spent time in westminster. He then spent time in westminster. He has a lot of experience, very smart, very articulate. He doesnt have and nobody has the kind of charm that mcguinness could turn on when he wanted to. A bit of a loss to sinn fein, whoever takes over. Dozens of people are feared dead after an avalanche destroyed a hotel used by skiers in central italy.

Theresa may told Business Leaders at the World Economic forum in switzerland that Global Companies needed to change of the global elite. But although the Prime Minister was here to insist that britain was open for business, she was also here with a warning. Talk of greater globalisation can make people fearful. For many, it means theirjobs being outsourced, and wages undercut. It means having to sit back as they watch their communities change around them. And in their minds, it means watching as those who prosper seem to play by a different set of rules. Theresa may came to the World Economic forum in davos not so much
