people to justice. she was also asked about why they hadn't used water cannon, because wootton can art of —— would cannon are available in northern ireland, not in the rest of the united kingdom. she said they had maintained capability to do that but decided that yesterday was not an appropriate tactic but she said that does not mean it will not be used in the future. that is the latest from the police service in northern ireland on the violence that has taken place over the last couple of days. more on that on the bbc news website and app. we are going to turn our attention to some of the rest of the day's news. the noise of the families of two men in the centre of the incident at manchester airport last night said officers took one of them to an area out of view of security cameras and threw him facedown to the floor and put his name to the back of his necks. i should warn you that you might find some of the pictures in the video we
1:51 pm
are about to show distressing. this video in which a police officer can be seen kicking one in the head and hitting another with a taser surfaced online last month and led to protests in rochdale and manchester. the family of the men held a news conference earlier and their lawyer said the police must be held to account. the family must put on record that _ held to account. the family must put on record that the _ held to account. the family must put on record that the two _ held to account. the family must put on record that the two young - held to account. the family must put on record that the two young men i held to account. the family must put| on record that the two young men sat next to are next to me were accused of —— are guilty of criminality, they must be subject to due legal process. but they know that many other families, process. but they know that many otherfamilies, police picked play a crucial role in our society and that is why precisely why when they get it so badly wrong, they must be held to account. �* , ., ., ., to account. let's go live to a re ort to account. let's go live to a report in _ to account. let's go live to a report in manchester - to account. let's go live to a report in manchester he i to account. let's go live to a report in manchester he was to account. let's go live to a i report in manchester he was at to account. let's go live to a - report in manchester he was at that news conference. what more did the
1:52 pm
families and lawyers have to say? they had lots of concerns about the way that some of the footage and what preceded it was released. there was the release that went viral and you can see an armed police officer at manchester airport kicking a man who was lying on the ground in the face and stamping on his head. that man has been tasered and his brother, you can see later in the footage was hit on the back of the head by an officer with a taser. then, the manchester evening news data obtained cctv footage live footage showing those two brothers will be diluted punching police officers. those police officers were all knocked to the ground and in this press conference, at this hotel imagine that behind me, this was an attempt by the family of those two brothers to add some extra contacts.
1:53 pm
they are concerned, there is suspicion as sleaze, was that that extra cctv footage was released by manship police to change the narrative and to make the police look better. because the police were get a lot of criticism. there were protests outside rochdale police station where those two men are from and there were bright as he imagines it as well. the family when he felt that it was time to put their side of things across and there was concern that the release of that extra footage could prejudice the e ongoing investigations into this. one of the police officers is facing a criminal investigation, the police —— mugged by the police watchdog, the iop sea. the greater manager believes also it was time to put their side of things across and there was concern that the release of that extra footage could prejudice the ongoing investigations into this. one of the police officers is facing a criminal investigation, the police —— mugged by the police watchdog, the iop c. the equator manager believes also has —— the greater manager believes also had its own investigation about what has gone on. the
