Good evening. This is BBC Newsline. Our top story this Monday evening: | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
A big blow for consumers as another energy supplier puts up its prices. | :00:21. | :00:31. | |
:00:31. | :00:35. | ||
Also tonight: an early departure chair for the Police Ombudsman. -- | :00:35. | :00:45. | |
:00:45. | :00:46. | ||
an early departure for the. A man is charged with raping a | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
schoolgirl. The schools are back and so is the | :00:49. | :00:56. | |
gridlock for commuters. We is it when it scores go back this becomes | :00:56. | :01:04. | |
a car park? -- went schools go back. Autumn is well and truly upon us | :01:04. | :01:11. | |
this week. No sign of an Indian summer. I will have the latest. | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
First it was electricity prices, then coal and oil, now gas prices | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
are set to rise sharply for many consumers across Northern Ireland. | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
It has emerged this evening that Firmus Energy is increasing its gas | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
price by over 28%. The higher tariffs will apply to customers in | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
ten towns. Our consumer correspondent is here to explain. | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
This will affect Firmus Energy customers in the 10th towns | :01:34. | :01:44. | |
:01:44. | :01:47. | ||
stretching from London dairy -- Londonderry. It is a 28.4% increase. | :01:47. | :01:55. | |
I reckon that will add �130 to the average Firmus Energy bill. What | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
about companies in the Belfast area? No announcement so far from | :01:59. | :02:08. | |
Firmus Energy so far on that market. Phoenix Gas increased their prices | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
by 39.1% in April, and we expect, after this move by Firmus Energy to | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
follow with something similar in Greater Belfast. Explain why the | :02:22. | :02:29. | |
increase. The same reason as electricity and coal prices going | :02:29. | :02:36. | |
up. Bigger demand their energy and inflation pushing prices up. Thank | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
you. The man in charge of investigating | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
complaints against the PSNI, the Police Ombudsman Al Hutchinson, is | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
under renewed pressure tonight with a report pointing to serious | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
failings in the way he runs the organisation. The report was | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
commissioned by the Justice Minister and it suggests the | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
independence of the Ombudsman has been undermined. It's the latest in | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
a series of difficulties for Mr Hutchinson. Last summer, he was | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
forced to withdraw a report into the McGurk's Bar bombing when | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
victims' families complained that it contained inaccuracies. In April, | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
the BBC revealed that Mr Hutchinson's chief executive had | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
resigned, saying the independence of the organisation had been | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
compromised. And in June, an independent review said Mr | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
Hutchinson's weak leadership had undermined the effectiveness of his | :03:16. | :03:26. | |
:03:26. | :03:30. | ||
office. Our home affairs correspondent reports. | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
15 people died when a UVF bomb exploded in McGurk's Bar bar 40 | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
years ago. A key role of the office is to examine how the police | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
investigated atrocities like this. How that work has been carried out | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
has been strongly criticised in today's report. Al Hutchinson | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
commissioned the report after the BBC revealed that his chief | :03:55. | :04:05. | |
:04:05. | :04:06. | ||
executive, seen on the right, announced his resignation. The | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
Criminal Justice Inspectorate uphold his claim they have been a | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
lowering of the independence of the office in the way it to investigate | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
historical cases. Anything which historical cases. Anything which | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
undermines confidence in the office is damaging. This report identified | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
how it approached investigations. I think that is damaging to the | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
opera's. The report says Al Hutchinson has lost the confidence | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
of senior members of his staff and describes the Office as | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
dysfunctional. Investigations are labelled inconsistent and flawed. | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
Inspectors say some reports were redrafted to reduce criticism of | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
the place. Some senior members of the staff claimed sensitive police | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
material has been withheld. And two senior members of staff asked to be | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
disassociated from some reports. The inspectors say Al Hutchinson | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
should suspend investigations into historical events until the issues | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
have been addressed, and he has agreed. He insists he is the best | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
person to implement those changes. He says we he will step down | :05:20. | :05:28. | |
earlier than planned because of criticism of his office. | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
acknowledge the personal attacks on me are becoming dysfunctional in | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
their impact in the office, and I have reflected on that and taken a | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
decision, and I will announce that on Thursday. Politicians are | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
divided about whether he should be allowed to choose the time of his | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
departure. A Al Hutchinson wants to go on his 65th birthday. But I | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
wonder hear from him on Thursday and allow him the opportunity to | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
provide answers to the report. further delay there is, the further | :06:02. | :06:11. | |
damage is done to the Ombudsman Office. Al Hutchinson should go now. | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
I intend to do with the issues raised. I think it is appropriate. | :06:16. | :06:23. | |
Al Hutchinson's contract runs until November, 2014. But he had planned | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
to step down in December after turning 65. He has now announced he | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
will leave office earlier than planned. My understanding is that | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
he will step down within the next six-nine months. | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
A man has appeared in court charged with raping a teenage girl. The | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
accused, who is from the south of England, faces a number of other | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
charges. Chris Page's report contains details you may find | :06:46. | :06:53. | |
upsetting. The man in the dock was Philip | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
Shorten. He is charged with 11 of child sex offences including rape. | :06:59. | :07:06. | |
The accused denies the charges. The court heard he met his alleged | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
victim through an internet Messaging Service last year when | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
she was 15. According to the prosecution, there chap started | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
normally, but then he started asking her to perform sex acts | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
Infanta the Web can. -- their chats. A detective told the court that Al | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
Hutchinson -- Philip Shorten broom to the girl. When the girl asked | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
the accused, why not someone older? He replied, 15 it is too young for | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
some people, but perfect for me. The court heard Philip Shorten made | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
four trips to Belfast to meet the teenager in hotels. The rape | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
happened in February. Philip Shorten's solicitor claimed deep | :07:54. | :08:02. | |
accused believe the goal was over 18. A defence lawyer argued for | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
bail. But the detective opposed bail, | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
saying Philip Shorten posed a risk to children. The district judge | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
reminded the accused in custody. -- remanded. | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
The row between the Irish government and the Vatican over the | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
fallout from the clerical abuse scandal is set to continue. At the | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
weekend, Rome rejected unprecedented criticism of it made | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
by Taoiseach Enda Kenny. He had claimed the Vatican had interfered | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
in a state inquiry into sex abuse by priests. The Vatican said the | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
claim was unfounded. Now the Irish government appears to have more to | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
say on the matter. I'm joined from Dublin by the Irish Times' | :08:37. | :08:44. | |
religious afairs correspondent. No one is blinking so far end this | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
stand-off. What can happen next? The Cabinet meets on Thursday. They | :08:49. | :08:59. | |
will not respond before then, though end their Kelly said -- Edna | :08:59. | :09:07. | |
Kelly said he would reiterate his stance. The government will prepare | :09:07. | :09:16. | |
a response. It was only released on Saturday just gone. The government | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
will not take as long as respected to respond, but there is no sign of | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
the government backing down. two victims's groups are quoted as | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
saying, at the Vatican is to try to deny responsibility, so the | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
Church's reputation continues to suffer. The Vatican is not trying | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
to deny responsibility, it has done so. It makes it clear it has clean | :09:42. | :09:50. | |
hands. What happened in Ireland is the sole responsibility of the | :09:51. | :10:00. | |
:10:01. | :10:01. | ||
Church leadership here. It quotes a line, underlining this fact. It | :10:01. | :10:09. | |
exonerates itself utterly. What can the government say? Will this does | :10:09. | :10:19. | |
:10:19. | :10:19. | ||
continue? The government can point out the papacy refused to co- | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
operate. The same papacy did not respond to the same commission. It | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
wrote to him twice and he didn't respond. It wrote to the | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
congregation into 2006. It didn't respond. The bad guy has form when | :10:35. | :10:45. | |
:10:45. | :10:47. | ||
it comes to dealing with inquiries like this. -- at the Vatican. | :10:47. | :10:57. | |
you very much indeed. Still to come: Could this be | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
another contender for the international goal of the year? | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
And why does the end of the school holidays bring rush hour traffic to | :11:06. | :11:16. | |
:11:16. | :11:18. | ||
a grinding halt? One of the biggest paramilitary | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
trials in decades starts in Belfast tomorrow. Two convicted UVF members | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
have turned Queen's evidence. They will testify against 14 men they | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
say were at the heart of the terrorist organisation. It's a | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
similar approach to the controversial supergrass trials of | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
the 1980s when dozens were convicted on the word of informers. | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
Most of the convictions were later overturned. So why is the approach | :11:35. | :11:43. | |
being revived now? BBC Newsline's Will Leitch reports. | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
The legal system send dozens to jail. Republicans and loyalists | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
labelled them touts and pledged to kill them. In the 1980s, evidence | :11:55. | :12:04. | |
was given against other members. Huge trials were held in front of a | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
judge without a jury because of fears of intimidation. In one case, | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
22 i i it -- IRA men were sentenced to more than 22,000 years. | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
court was packed with police officers. There would have been | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
people sitting close to the judge to make sure no one would attack | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
him. The relatives of the people in the dock attended all the hearing, | :12:28. | :12:35. | |
and they were quite often jeered and cheered. The judge sometimes | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
had difficulty maintaining order. Dozens were convicted here. But the | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
system like the building itself was to crumble. Most of the convictions | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
were overturned. But now, there is a new court house, new legislation, | :12:53. | :13:00. | |
and a new police service, and a similar tactic is being tried again. | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
Legislation was provided for serious organised crime across the | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
United Kingdom. They are relevant sections in that legislation, and | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
that provides for non jury trials. The public is getting confused with | :13:15. | :13:24. | |
the old corpse, which no longer prevail, and were non statutory. | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
There are other differences. The witness signed a contract with the | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
prosecution. They must have admitted all their crimes, and if | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
they withdraw from the trial process, they felt does aggravate | :13:36. | :13:46. | |
:13:46. | :13:48. | ||
this the fault process. -- they face a new process. Two for members | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
of the UN -- UVF have come forward. They have admitted their crimes and | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
been sentenced. They are pointing the finger at the people they say | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
were involved. Chief among them is this loyalists. He and his | :14:03. | :14:10. | |
associates go on trial for a range of offences. They are linked to the | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
murder of plummy English killed in 2004 stop -- Tommy English. The | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
trial will be held in this Belfast court room. The authorities say | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
that is to allow more people to be present and insure proceedings are | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
open and transparent. But there is opposition to the approach. We are | :14:33. | :14:42. | |
all out for justice. This is a supergrass trial, and a supergrass | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
trial is the supergrass trial. There is no difference here and the | :14:47. | :14:56. | |
deer 2011. The stakes are high. If it is successful, others could | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
follow. Already, a senior member of the UVF has come forward and is | :15:00. | :15:07. | |
The new term at Stormont began today, with no programme for | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
government yet in place. Our political correspondent, Martina | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
Purdy, looks at the Executive's in- tray. | :15:17. | :15:23. | |
It is that time of year again. A new term at Stormont and the work | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
is piling up already. But where to start? There are decisions to be | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
taken on tuition fees, council reform and the future of accident | :15:34. | :15:41. | |
and emergency units. Top of the file is the need to priorities in a | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
new Programme for Government. had one meeting of party leaders | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
before recess and puts forward some ideas but nothing has come to | :15:49. | :15:57. | |
fruition it since that meeting to see if we can get some agreement on | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
some of these issues that will be a very controversial. Critics of the | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
first and Deputy First ministers are already complaining that some | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
of the issues they have to clear-up have not changed much from last | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
term. The review of the North-South institutions has yet to be | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
published, the development of the Maze prison site has yet to be | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
agreed, we have yet to see the review of public administration and | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
decisions around the boundaries Commission. And so the list goes on. | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
The leaves may be turning gold but there's less to be had in the | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
Stormont coffers. A key challenge for ministers. I do not know if | :16:40. | :16:50. | |
:16:50. | :16:51. | ||
Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness can show the wisdom of | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
Solomon, but that is what we need in these difficult times. A source | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
in the First Minister's Office insists there will be no undue | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
delay in delivering a programme for government and that a number of | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
outstanding issues including councillor for and are close to | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
resolution. Keeping harmony will indeed be a challenge but the new | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
term has brought a new approach. Following old tensions over an | :17:17. | :17:27. | |
:17:27. | :17:29. | ||
Irish Language Act. Coming up in a few minutes: What a | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
difference a week makes. The schools are back - and so is that | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
morning rush hour. There's never been a World | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
Heavyweight boxing challenge fight in Ireland, but it's happening next | :17:38. | :17:45. | |
month in Belfast. Gavin Andrews is here with all the news. | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
Martin Rogan will take on Panama's Lewis Andreas Pineda for the vacant | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
WBU heavyweight title at the Odyssey Arena. The bout is | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
scheduled for the 27th October and was revealed today in West Belfast. | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
The WBU belt is seen by some as one of the lesser titles in the | :17:58. | :18:07. | |
heavyweight division, but Rogan's having none of that. | :18:08. | :18:15. | |
Did George Foreman call it the lesser belt? Did Rory Sandra's call | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
it that lesser belt? Ricky Hatton earned all his best fights off it. | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
They did not use it as a platform but it did get them to where they | :18:27. | :18:36. | |
wanted to go. That is just a few. They all held that belt. I do not | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
make the belts, I'd just fight for them. It is a great opportunity for | :18:41. | :18:51. | |
:18:51. | :18:51. | ||
Belfast. It is massive for our city, massive in every way. I am going to | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
join the ranks of those fighting for a world title and I am going to | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
take it. Now from a world heavyweight | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
contender, to a goal that might make the rest of the world take | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
notice. Matty Burrows famously did it last year. Now Coleraine's Jonny | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
Black has produced another Irish league wondergoal. Thomas Niblock | :19:06. | :19:13. | |
reports. It looks like any typical free-kick | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
on any normal Saturday afternoon. The Johnny Black Strike was | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
anything but however. It is only September but it looks as if we | :19:22. | :19:30. | |
have already seen the goal of the season. All the boys have been | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
giving me a bit of grief about it, saying it was in before it even hit | :19:35. | :19:45. | |
:19:45. | :19:47. | ||
the net. But I just knew it. On the BBC's Board website alone, how many | :19:47. | :19:55. | |
people do you think have argued that go? It is now over half-a- | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
million. That is crazy. That is more than the amount of people who | :20:01. | :20:09. | |
watched Usain Bolt at the weekend. You are bigger than Usain Bolt! | :20:09. | :20:16. | |
would not say that but it is nice to get that many hits. Janine Black | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
provided the cross for of Burroughs and that famous strike last year. | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
But spare a thought for the goalkeeper that day. They say | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
lightning cannot strike twice. Those pictures of that goal have | :20:32. | :20:39. | |
been a massive success on the internet. If you want to see the | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
goal again and leave a comment, check out the BBC Newsline facebook | :20:41. | :20:43. | |

[email protected]. Nigel Worthington has today been | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
defending his tactics and his record. Northern Ireland have been | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
beaten just three times in the last 14 qualifying games, but after | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
losing to Serbia on Friday, their Euro 2012 qualification hopes are | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
hanging by a thread. Northern Ireland must win their last three | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
games to make it to the finals, starting with a win tomorrow in | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
Estonia. Stephen Watson is with the squad in Tallin. | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
Depressed and deflated said the negative body-language as rather a | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
Ireland arrived in his Downie up with alarm bells ringing. The | :21:15. | :21:23. | |
message from the Under Fire manager however is much more positive. | :21:23. | :21:31. | |
going to take it calmly. We are a group and we have to work together. | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
We all want to win. And the squad is keen to take some of the heat | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
off the man in charge. The boss gets paid to pick the team and we | :21:43. | :21:50. | |
stand by that. We will go out and we worked our socks off. I think | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
some of the criticism towards him may be is just a bit unfair. | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
here in Estonia players are firmly behind their manager and remaining | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
optimistic that they can still make it to the European finals. But the | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
fans have different ideas about qualification and the future of the | :22:08. | :22:15. | |
boss. I think any manager with a record like that is going to be | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
under pressure. You always hope the manager can do good things but I | :22:20. | :22:30. | |
:22:30. | :22:30. | ||
think he has had his chance. What is your take on the manager? | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
kinky will have to go. Does Nigel Worthington have three games to | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
save his job? One thing is for certain - he needs a victory | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
tomorrow would the sun will finally set on another island's qualifying | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
campaign. Darren O'Dea and Stephen Kelly have | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
been drafted into the Republic of Ireland team for the Euro 2012 | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
qualifier against Russia in Moscow. They replace the suspended Sean St | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
Ledger and injured John O'Shea. After the disappointing nil-nil | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
draw against Slovakia on Friday, Giovanni Trappatoni's men really | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
need a win in Moscow against the group leaders to retain hopes of | :23:00. | :23:10. | |
:23:10. | :23:13. | ||
automatic qualification. Every game away from home is always | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
tough. When you play against a team like Russia who have great | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
individual players, it is going to be a tough game. Do not think for | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
one second that we are coming here to lie down and think that Russia | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
are just going to roll as over. The players certainly know that we're | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
coming here to get something out of this game and we will not make it | :23:40. | :23:49. | |
easy for it Russia.. Alan Campbell won a bronze medal in the single | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
sculls at the World Championships in Slovenia - a third success for | :23:51. | :24:01. | |
the Coleraine contingent in the Great British rowing team. | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
If you are a commuter on the roads, you probably noticed a big | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
difference this morning with the return of the dreaded rush hour | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
traffic. The congestion is usually blamed on the return to school | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
after the summer holidays. But as Mervyn Jess explains, there's more | :24:10. | :24:17. | |
to it than that. It was all change this morning on | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
the roads into Belfast. The congestion build up that began at | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
the start of September hit home today. There was a marked | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
difference on some of the major roads and junctions compared to the | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
traffic situation last week. It is just six minutes past eight. This | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
is Romany rush hour. I'm coming down the Castlereagh Road. The | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
traffic is flowing freely. Not that much of it about and it has been | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
that weight since the school's got off for their summer holidays. So | :24:48. | :24:56. | |
why is it that when the schools comeback this becomes a car-park? | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
Well those of us lead any increase in volume with the schools | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
returning but there are also factors like how the traffic drives, | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
stopping to let kids off, moving in and out of side roads. And the | :25:10. | :25:17. | |
weather as well, the capacity of the roads to slightly reduced. | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
Belfast control centre has one of the most advanced traffic | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
management systems in Europe with more than 100 CCTV cameras watching | :25:24. | :25:31. | |
on roads. There's nothing especially scientific about traffic. | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
A large part of it is down to how we behave on the roads. What is for | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
sure is that the holidays are coming to an end for the schools | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
and colleges and also for the motorist. | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
It is never going to change! Just to run in to Radio Ulster, that | :25:53. | :26:01. | |
passes the time! Of course everything is rest when the weather | :26:01. | :26:08. | |
is wet. We had a few showers today. And the rain is certainly around | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
And the rain is certainly around this evening. | :26:14. | :26:21. | |
The rain has been moving in from an Atlantic weather system. It is the | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
first autumn storm. Nothing exceptional, but it will make it | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
feel quite a Tumilty this weekend. And it makes the evening of that | :26:31. | :26:41. | |
:26:41. | :26:47. | ||
much darker as well. -- feel quite Some unsettled weather for the rest | :26:47. | :26:57. | |
of the coming week. That is the mega picture at the moment. Heavy | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
and steady rain coming in the next few hours until it turns more to | :27:02. | :27:12. | |
showers during the eight hours. The wind also picks up tonight. That | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
tour will be a some sunshine around. -- but tomorrow there will be some | :27:19. | :27:25. | |
sunshine around. The wind will be quite strong and gusty making it | :27:25. | :27:31. | |
feel quite chilly. And showers are likely to merge to from a longer | :27:31. | :27:41. | |
:27:41. | :27:49. | ||
spell of rain in the afternoon. Temperatures of just 15 degrees. | :27:49. | :27:56. | |
There is that airier of rain moving south-east during the latter part | :27:56. | :28:04. |
