more of a world a land where instant quarrels have been settled but yet find time to reignite. there's an ironic tragedy between the beauty of this land and the dark secrets at home it's. fallen out my mother in the late sixty's and they got married and set up home and alfonso. at the time my father was working in the rolls royce for. fost. also some of his war colleagues find out he was a catholic and he had to. be then worked as a postman in the area for a while at this stage we were living in the stone millis area of. there are a small number of catholic families living in the area at the time and on we've been warned on a number of occasions it was time to move out and i suppose the final straw for us was one of our almost after one of our near neighbors windowsills and obviously
1:35 pm
said of stage it was time to move. on the decision was taken to move on at that stage. and from birmingham mommy wanted to move there she felt would be safer but my father left the countryside so moch so we ended up there. i suppose my last recollections of my father are and leaving to go to the hospital to visit my sister ocean and she was only 2 days old at the time. not really the last that i can remember of c.n.n. going out to the the front door to visit them in the hospital. particular even on my aunt's and was with my father on the intention was to stop it on the spot on the way home and i was out of character is drunk with his workmates . they don't he just arrived about the same time as the gunmen. as they arrived at the front of the bar. domain

1:37 pm
a particular interest and also in the potential for the state to take life illegally and as a journalist you're always looking for stories that nobody else is investigating it was an ordinary sunday morning and i was reading the paper and a name sprang out of the page at me breck girl somebody called bracknell had been killed in south. and i thought breck no that's not a south. so i managed to contact the family and went down to meet them and i asked eyewitnesses from the scene. will have been killed to explain to his widow who was sitting in the room with me exactly what has happened and it was a shocking shocking experience it was the best time that an bracknell has heard how husband had been. i think the shock of what we're trying to. do the family really how little we know about my father's killing of he was actually responsible for.
1:38 pm
i phone my news desk expecting them to leap on the story and say give us everything you've got but the irrational was quite different it was not enough a catholic sob story. i was just so so disappointed i'm high that his reaction to what i've discovered. pushed for the storage be written under the end it was. in around this time started to emerge about what would have been. norma's loyalist attacks in the area. i suppose i didn't know much more about want to help and other than that a group called the right wing commando claimed responsibility for the attack. so at this time i begin to ask questions of myself about what i did or didn't know but what i've actually happened i started to ask questions of local people about what they remembered about what they knew about the night and but we didn't know it really know where to go to try and find out more answers and at that stage someone
1:39 pm
mentioned to me the center in derry help families in similar situations to ourselves. i think it was 999. commanded the office very softly spoken very friendly and he was wearing a suit and we thought he was a photocopy or a or a printer and instead he began to tell us about the attack on the part one of his dad and what happened on the back rent he was aware that there was not david available where we made a number of very serious allegations but clues behavior and a number of attacks on the area. so we agreed we would look at it in detail and look at all the different attacks that happened in the area at the time it was all very new deals. up to the point we've been active in the number of cases we've been knocked her own clothes. and bloody sunday just as campaign was was based on the office and we agreed to call together a meeting of witnesses and the open and silverbridge and what to says came forward
1:40 pm
a lot of witnesses came forward. and i suppose the significance of the meeting was that you had families with evidence and information but you also had witnesses the events on the significance of this being that there were so many connections so many permutations so many leads to follow obviously needs it never been followed by official bodies or for people in authority even though it's being hugely influential moderate than we've lived this you know this is the we need to do. we need to take this forward and you know what happened in my home in my little film was killed in the incident is connected to what happened on the road is connected to hop and over just across the other country what happened to neil or part of that day was partial in the sense that if we were in the room we appointed to you to either a witness to something the how to lead a piece of evidence to connect the one connected to and what really was unfolding was the sense that there was this gang security force people that were supposed to
1:41 pm
protect people supposed to bring people there just those who were actually conducting these killings and county in the moat. you might imagine that in a normal situation they'd been they'd been asked to give statements that the police would have asked them for statements this hadn't happened and they came forward and we began to realize that we were going to solve and much much bigger. as we began to research this under talk to people in the local area many of them told also there was actually an officer involved in the original this was actually in charge although he was novice or very low rank but they believed was a person of integrity they believed he tried to get to the bottom of those but couldn't. he talk to the families a number of times over the years and they the families told us that he will be an absolutely fatal person for us to talk to.
1:42 pm
belfast families of those killed in an attack and of silverbridge 24 years ago have appealed for a fresh inquiry into that trust say. so we arranged a press conference. and appealed for him to come forward we thought of the unlikely but in fact he did and he made contact with us shortly afterwards through a journalist. it was quite an extraordinary making the many ways we were calm. by a number of family members and this place officer still 7 made a number of statements. that made. what we were was actually a much wider range of attacks. was the. thing to come out of the meeting which was the term he used permutations of the same guy were also responsible for the other attacks inside. me and august 1985 who are returning
1:43 pm
from the final. of me in 1904. pain has changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs talk to people who are chronic pain and believe
1:44 pm
that their prescription is working for them and the remedy he said to do the price that they pay was their dependency and addiction to opiates to long term use that really isn't scientifically justified and i'll study actually suggested that the long term effects might not just be absence of benefit but actually that they might be causing long term how. the world is driven by shaped by phone person those. in the dares thinks. we dare to ask.

1:50 pm
you know very very difficult to not having closure. although at that time to plan for new consent and justice for the gotten was beginning to investigate the activities of the glen i'm going already to very ordinary catholic priests living in the area have done a fair amount of investigation themselves they do even started rushing to the newspapers and trying to get the 2 governments involved because they realize that there must be a cohesive gehring working in the so called murder trial carrying out these murders that have to be there were too many of them they did everything they could to highlight it after one series of 17 much as they should a statement saying that they are you see had a 100 percent failure rate in convicting anyone for these murders they went to
