Northern Ireland grammar schools are setting their own tests
Northern Ireland grammar schools are setting their own tests

On tonight's programme

We bring you all the details from the latest report by the body that monitors paramilitary activity.

We have the latest from the scenes of two overnight shootings in Belfast and Londonderry.

And in our Testing Times series - which looks at how 11-year-olds are coping with the transfer from primary to second level education - we have been talking to parents and children.

Tonight, our education correspondent Maggie Taggart talks to a mother whose child is preparing for tests to get into a Catholic grammar school, and another family whose child is not taking any tests.

Join us at 1830 BST on BBC One.
