Hello and welcome. The headlines: A mother describes how she took her | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
son at by appointment to be shot by Parliament Matt -- paramilitaries. | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
Father D'Arcy says at Vatican crackdown has had little effect on | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
his media work. I have not been censored so that I cannot talk | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
about certain issues in the way that I have always done. | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
Martin McGuinness says he is prepared to take the witness stand | :00:49. | :00:54. | |

On the eve of the Ulster Union rugby to -- rugby Cup semi-final, | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
join me for all the action. And it has been a drier and | :01:12. | :01:22. | |
:01:22. | :01:23. | ||
brighter day. Will it stay that way? | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
And mother has been describing how she took her son for an appointment | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
to be shot by paramilitaries. She then had to wait and listen to the | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
shots being fired before she would to help them. | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
The 18-year-old was wounded in both legs. The attack was in Londonderry | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
last night. A republican vigilante group is being blamed. In an | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
interview, the mother spoke to our reporter. | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
The mother of the 18-year-old victim, who does not want to be | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
identified, says she was ordered to take him there before he was shot | :01:58. | :02:06. | |
in both legs. He walked down the lane. I was standing at the top. I | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
heard two shots, then I ran down to him. He was OK. There was blood | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
coming from both of his legs. Otherwise, he was OK. The people | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
around him were great. Someone had covered him up and someone else had | :02:23. | :02:31. | |
hit something under his head. -- put something. I was very | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
appreciative. It should never have come to it. He should never have | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
been doing what he was doing. I do not agree with that the drug | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
dealing. Hopefully we can work from here. The drugs scene in Derry is | :02:46. | :02:54. | |
rampant. If their mothers of teenagers watching this they will | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
understand. I have seen the change that comes over the children. I | :02:58. | :03:08. | |
have witnessed the hallucinations, the Depression. Some politicians | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
blame Republican Action Against drugs for last night's attacks. It | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
has targeted its course of people in so-called punishment attacks. In | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
February, it admitted Armada. The 24-year-old was shot dead at his | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
home. Many people have come onto the streets in opposition to the | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
vigilant did its campaign. We do not want these actions. These | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
people are not listening. It is high time that they did listen. | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
Once again, we have our good name tarnished. People believe that they | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
can use the area as a backyard for carry out these awful vigilante | :03:47. | :03:57. | |
:03:57. | :03:58. | ||
attacks. The community strongly attacks the actions. It is said | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
they have inflicted terrible injuries on the community as many | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
young people have been targeted. Their thirst for power has gone | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
further. Recently they admitted responsibility for murder. Police | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
are appealing for witnesses to last night's attack. | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
Father Brian D'Arcy, the priest censored by the Catholic Church | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
over his outspoken views, says he is saddened by the Vatican's | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
reaction. But he has told us that the Church has not cut or altered | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
anything he has written. Church officials had demanded prior sight | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
of some of his and the -- some of his material. | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
Father Brian D'Arcy was at the BBC Today recording his weekly music | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
show for Radio Ulster. He has been thrust into the headlines because | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
of an official church rebuke over some hard-hitting newspaper columns. | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
He says he will not be backing off. The major issue that I have been | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
most vocal on is the way the Church has handle it and is continuing to | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
handle clerical sex abuse of children. I have spoken openly | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
about that, encouraging the church where it has needed encouragement | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
and questioning the church where it has needed questioned. I will not | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
change. Father Darcy is based just outside Enniskillen and is part of | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
disciplinary action against him he must submit certain articles to the | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
church for clearance. I have been trying to work as normal and I am | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
not sure that anybody noticed any difference in the way I have | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
written, spoken, broadcast or have done end -- done interviews. | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
priest has been a journalist for the past 45 years and says nothing | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
he has done in the recent past has been censored by the Church. I have | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
tackled the same subject as I always did, probably end up broader | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
way, but certainly I have not been censored that I cannot talk about | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
certain issues in the way that higher always done. I censor myself | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
at more than anyone else censor's me. If as well as a music show, | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
Father D'Arcy is a contributor to BBC Radio 2's pause for thought. To | :06:23. | :06:30. | |
do the corporation said editorial control of its -- of the slot was | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
its sole responsibility. After a week of allegations, Martin | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
McGuinness has said he is prepared to appear in Dublin before the | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
Smethwick tribunal. It is in -- investigating allegations of Garda | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
collision in attacks in 1989. A former British intelligence officer | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
has said in -- told the inquiry that Mr McGuinness was linked to | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
the shootings. Mr McGuinness is in Dublin at a | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
peace conference. Earlier are reported told me what he had to say | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
about these claims. Mr McGuinness has denied these | :07:08. | :07:16. | |
allegations. -- the allegations that he was the head of Northern | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
Command at the time of the allegations. Today he said that if | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
necessary he would go and repeat that a mile to the Smithwick | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
Tribunal. I made it clear some time ago that if there was need for me | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
to do it, I was prepared to do it, but I felt I had absolutely no | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
contribution to make whatsoever because I knew absolutely nothing | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
about it. I think also that people will have noticed that I have | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
totally it repeated and rejected what turned out to be a yarn, a | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
cock and bull story. The first and Mr Peter Robinson is also there | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
today. Did he have any reaction? He welcomed that comment from | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
Martin McGuinness. He had previously called for the Deputy | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
First Minister to testify. He was making the point that there was a | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
difference between allegations and what is proven in court. He also | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
reacted to speculation that the Deputy First Minister might be | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
considering an historic gesture in terms of meeting the Queen this | :08:19. | :08:27. | |
year. I think it would be a step that should be taken. Many years | :08:27. | :08:35. | |
ago, I made the gesture of meeting the head of state here in the Irish | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
Republic, meeting the President of the Irish Republic is now something | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
that people will take in their stride and Northern Ireland. I | :08:42. | :08:52. | |
think he will find that if he meets Her Majesty, meeting members of the | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
royal family will become part of everyday life. | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
You're watching BBC News live. Still to come: as Ulster rugby gets | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
ready for its biggest game in years, I will be joined live from the | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
hotel in London by the director. And Prince Charles presses the FA | :09:16. | :09:24. | |
and the flesh on the second day of the royal visit. -- fire. | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
An Army bomb disposal team is still examining the van which was | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
abandoned last night on the outskirts of Newry. Our district | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
journalist is at the alert on the fathom line. What is the latest? | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
This alert started last night after police had reports of a suspicious | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
vehicle in the area. It is this a white van, which was reportedly | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
abandoned with its engine still running. The vehicle itself is | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
somewhere behind me. Motorists have been asked to avoid the area. | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
Technical officers have been here all day but it is not clear if they | :10:02. | :10:10. | |
have found anything. If there is anything more to report, it will be | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
on the news website. Two Scottish man he said parcel | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
bombs to the Celtic manager Neil Lennon have been jailed for five | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
years. Trevor Muirhead and Neil McKenzie also targeted high-profile | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
fans of the club, including a former member of the Scottish | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
Parliament. Recent figures show that we have | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
the worst teeth in the UK. The debate over having fluoride added | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
to our water system has raised its head again. | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
The Health Minister has told us that he is keen to explore the | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
issue again. You would not think that people | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
would argue over water. But there has been a big argument going on | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
and it is all about this. possibility of adding fluoride to | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
Northern Ireland's water system has been something that people have | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
been talking and arguing about for many years. The Government was keen | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
to go ahead and with it in the '90s, but nearly every single council | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
voted against it. But some people, like our current health minister, | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
think it is worth considering again. We have are the worst levels of | :11:21. | :11:29. | |
tooth decay in Europe. The Republic of Ireland has the best levels. | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
Then there is something different and it strikes me that the key | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
difference is the fluoridation of water in the Republic of Ireland. | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
This is what he is trying to prevent. The high level of tooth | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
decay among children. Especially those in deprived areas. However, | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
those opposed to fluoridation are far from persuaded. They believe | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
that they should not have drugs added to the water against their | :11:54. | :12:01. | |
will. It makes no sense at all. This is why 98% of people have | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
rejected it. You were wanting me to drink this stuff because there is a | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
small group of children somewhere who did not brush their teeth and | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
eat a lot of sweets. Well it is eating sweets and not the water | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
supply that is the problem. I can understand why it would be | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
contentious but we have to look at the benefits as opposed to the | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
risks. We know it is safe and effective. We have a big problem | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
about -- problem with dental decay among our young children, and that | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
we have a solution as safe and effective, why would we not use it? | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
So nothing much has really changed in this argument. It is now up to | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
the Minister to get enough political and public support to | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
move it forward. Going by past experience, that could be a long | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
way off. The way we live and work has been | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
massively changed by the mobile phone. Some would say it is a | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
change for the worst. But how would you say if you mobile | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
operator turned of the signal where you live? David Maxwell talks to | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
people in County Antrim. Barely visible in the landscape, | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
for years this mast has been taken for granted. That changed last week | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
when everything everywhere, the company that runs orange and Timo | :13:22. | :13:30. | |
Boll, turned it off. Got up in the morning and no network. I ran a | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
network and the informed me that there must was turned off. The | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
mobile phone is our lifeline you. Catherine and her husband run a | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
sheep farm. If I was out lambing and I needed assistance, I would | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
have to phone and ring. Now I have no contact at all. That lack of | :13:53. | :14:00. | |
contact is also a worry for some older people. If anything goes | :14:00. | :14:10. | |
:14:10. | :14:12. | ||
wrong, which has done before, it is handy. People cannot get any | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
connection at all then become the have. There is also concerns about | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
this caravan park. There is no longer any mobile signal here which | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
could make life difficult for holidaymakers. All of these issues | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
are to be raised with the company when it visits storeman to next | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
week. I would like to know why it was turned off. If it is a cost | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
implication, how much does it cost them and why did they set it up in | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
the first for us? They should have done all their service prior to | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
setting up. The company says it is investing millions in improving its | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
network in Northern Ireland. It says most customers will have | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
increased coverage. It is aware that a small number of people have | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
lost their signal and it is looking at ways to restore signal. For | :15:00. | :15:07. | |
those living here, that cannot come soon enough. | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
Should that company changed its name? | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall had been to rent County | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
Armagh for the second day of their two-day visit. | :15:17. | :15:27. | |
:15:27. | :15:30. | ||
They spent some time in a Portadown Prince Charles was here at County | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
Armagh jail to hear plans of regeneration. During the Troubles | :15:36. | :15:43. | |
it was used as a win in's prison, but since it closed in 1984 it has | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
been left to go to rack and ruin. The Prince takes an interest in | :15:48. | :15:56. | |
restoring buildings. -- women's prison. If we do get a grant | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
together, or would it be a success? In Oxford, when I said that I would | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
turn a prison into hotel, people thought I had gone mad. But now it | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
is the highest occupancy Hotel in Oxford with the highest room rates. | :16:11. | :16:18. | |
Earlier, the royal couple was battered to where the guest of | :16:18. | :16:27. | |
honour at a party. They watched bread being baked before being | :16:27. | :16:36. | |
invited to join at the production line. It turns out that the Prince | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
of Wales is quite good at baking and he has asked for the recipe. | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
The company has promised to send it to him. The last stop was the | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
Planetarium. The Prince met craftsmen who were demonstrating | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
their skills. Again, his interest in the area shone through. So many | :16:56. | :17:02. | |
people living in all sorts of parts of the country really do love many | :17:02. | :17:09. | |
of these historic sites. They are all, familiar friends to them. When | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
they become derelict or they are suddenly abandoned and redundant | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
and there is not the solution found for their future, then increasingly | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
I find people become more and more depressed. The couple have now left | :17:23. | :17:33. | |
:17:33. | :17:33. | ||
to go home. For some, there two Davies it was all too short. | :17:33. | :17:40. | |
The chagrin of their two-day visit was all too short. | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
40,000 Ulster rugby supporters will travel to Dublin tomorrow for the | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
match. As Stephen Watson is there already. | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
Thank you. Welcome to Dublin city centre. This is the team hotel to | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
the Ulster rugby team. We are hoping that they will get a good | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
night's sleep. The last time that so many Ulster fans came to Dublin | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
was back in 1999 or when this bird their team on to European Cup final | :18:10. | :18:19. | |
success. -- when they spurred their team on. In a moment, I will talk | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
to one of the heroes of 1999. First, we look ahead to tomorrow's big | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
match. Auster arrived in Dublin this | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
afternoon with all of the attention on 20-year-old Paddy Jackson. He | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
has never started a Heineken Cup game before, but he will wear the | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
No. 10 shirt tomorrow in also's most important game in 13 years. | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
That is when Ulster rugby team up last one of the European Cup. | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
Supporters descended upon Dublin. 1999 was the last time that Ulster | :18:58. | :19:06. | |
rugby reached the Cup. It is expected that 40,000 Ulster rugby | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
supporters will be here tomorrow evening. But does that intimidate | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
Edinburgh? Apparently not. Her I quite like it. I like the noise and | :19:16. | :19:26. | |
:19:26. | :19:26. | ||
a hostile environment. Recent results show that Edinburgh had | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
everything to fear. They have played Ulster rugby twice this | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
season and lost twice. But Ulster rugby remain cautious. All bets are | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
off. You just have to look at the Edinburgh form in Europe, they won | :19:40. | :19:47. | |
their group. We did not manage to win in France and we did not win | :19:47. | :19:54. | |
our group. However, is it a risk to place such an in experienced No. 10 | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
in such a big game? It might be a bit in the deep side for him. He is | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
a brilliant player and he has a mature head on his shoulders. I | :20:05. | :20:14. | |
think he will be brilliant tomorrow. This game has captured the | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
imagination of Ulster rugby supporters just like it did back in | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
1999. Doesn't time fly? The man who drop | :20:22. | :20:32. | |
their goal is of course David Davies. How important is it to hand | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
Paddy Jackson the No. 10 jersey tomorrow? It will be a squad effort | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
to get there. He is a very successful and he has had a great | :20:42. | :20:52. | |
six season. This is the ultimate test, but not just for him, for a | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
lot about players. At the same time, this is where stars are born and | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
where reputations are made. We are looking forward to it. At times | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
like this we roll back the years and dig out the archives, you | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
played such a crucial role at last time this game took place. Are you | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
enjoying your new role? Nothing replaces being out there. All of | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
the coaches were talking about their experiences this week when | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
they were out there playing. This is the ultimate challenge, really. | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
It is good to be involved, but I would much rather be playing. | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
of Ulster rugby fans have already said that they have got plans for | :21:40. | :21:47. | |
the final. Will you tell them not to get carried away? Yes, of course. | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
Look at the game with Barcelona and Chelsea. Usually Barcelona would | :21:51. | :22:00. | |
have won the game, but this time they lost. Edinburgh have shown | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
their form. If we do not perform well, it will be a very tough | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
afternoon. At the same time, we have a big players here with | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
international experience. This is the kind of thing that motivates | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
them and they have no doubt that tomorrow we will have a big | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
performance. Good luck. I know that you are also a Liverpool fan like | :22:20. | :22:30. | |
:22:30. | :22:34. | ||
me. You will not be interested in the Manchester derby. But Jonny | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
Evans has told BBC Newsline that this is his chance for redemption. | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
It was a devastating feeling when I saw those goals going in. We should | :22:44. | :22:50. | |
have defended them better. Getting those extra couple of goals really | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
killed us. It is probably the first -- worst I have felt. How does it | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
inspire you knowing that you will get a second chance against them? | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
The club has lost games to Manchester City before. That is the | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
way that derby games goes sometimes. But I think there is something a | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
bit extra with this one because of the situation in the league. It | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
would be nice to redeem ourselves and hopefully pick up three points. | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
It is all about going out and winning your games really. You have | :23:28. | :23:38. | |
to apply your experience. They have one or two players who are real | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
attacking options. They also have people who can come off the bench | :23:43. | :23:52. | |
as well. You have a young career, but would this be the sweetest one? | :23:52. | :24:01. | |
I think your first one is always the sweetest one. Because it is the | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
two Manchester clubs pushing for the title, it would be nice to go | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
that far. You can see all of tomorrow's local | :24:10. | :24:17. | |
football at 5pm on BBC One. Tyrone also had to Dublin to play | :24:17. | :24:27. | |
Kildare. Most of Gaelic football's media | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
attention has been on Cork and Dublin, but when it called -- when | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
it comes to results, no county can match Tyrone this year. According | :24:38. | :24:44. | |
to the manager, this is not perfect. We have been consistent in | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
delivering decent performances. The but we are not the finished product. | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
We played very well at times and at other times we do not play quite as | :24:53. | :25:01. | |
well as that. We need for consistency in our game. With | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
promotion to Division One assured for both teams, it is perhaps | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
fitting that to Rome and Kildare should end their league campaign as | :25:08. | :25:15. | |
they began it at Croke Park. Tyrone won their last meeting back in | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
February and for the man in charge of the lens to county, there isn't | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
it -- there is another tactical battle. Is outsmarting Mickey Harte | :25:24. | :25:32. | |
important? I do not think that anybody could ever do that! He is | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
brilliant at spotting talent and reintroducing it. He keeps energy | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
and structure. He is probably number one in the country at that. | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
League Four may not always reflect what happens in the championship, | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
but the record books attest that it usually does. Win or lose on Sunday, | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
Tyrone have every reason to approach the summer ahead with | :25:55. | :26:01. | |
confidence. Live coverage of their game on BBC | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
Radio all-star on Sunday. And live coverage of the big game tomorrow, | :26:05. | :26:15. | |
:26:15. | :26:20. | ||
also rugby against Edinburgh. -- The live shows kick off this | :26:20. | :26:27. | |
weekend at for the popular BBC One show, The Voice. BBC Newsline was | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
given an exclusive backstage pass to talk to Sophie Griffin. | :26:33. | :26:43. | |
:26:43. | :26:44. | ||
17-year-old Sophie Griffin entered The Voice singing a song that had | :26:45. | :26:51. | |
been produced by one of the judges. He was the one I wanted and he is | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
the one I got. To sing his song then for him to like it, it was | :26:55. | :27:02. | |
incredible. Then it was through to the battle stages. She battled | :27:02. | :27:10. | |
against an established a finger. would not be here if it wasn't for | :27:10. | :27:20. | |
:27:20. | :27:21. | ||
the person I was when I was 17. kind of have the same back story | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
and we are both dreamers. When he was 17, he was a dream and that is | :27:26. | :27:32. | |
just like I am now. It is lovely to think he believes in me. It is | :27:32. | :27:37. | |
absolutely amazing, a dream come true. We are in the rehearsal rooms | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
at the The Voice, where the contestants are preparing to go in | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
front of the judges this weekend. If you want Sophie to stay in the | :27:44. | :27:49. | |
competition, everyone needs to get behind terror shows support. | :27:49. | :27:54. | |
support from Northern Ireland has been absolutely amazing. I get so | :27:54. | :27:59. | |
many messages saying that I am doing Northern Ireland proud. Just | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
to know that I'm making people proud is a great feeling. Sophie | :28:03. | :28:13. | |
:28:13. | :28:13. | ||
will perform on Saturday night. So many fingers to cross here this | :28:13. | :28:23. | |
:28:23. | :28:24. | ||
We can expect a mainly dry night, but Chile. Temperatures in the West | :28:24. | :28:29. | |
will hit a zero and perhaps it below. It would be a chilly start | :28:29. | :28:32. | |
of the weekend. The story has slightly changed for the weekend | :28:32. | :28:36. | |
and the bulk of it will be fairly bright. There will be a few showers | :28:36. | :28:40. | |
and the showers will be mostly confined to the south-east during | :28:40. | :28:44. | |
the first part of the day, by mid- afternoon showers will clear to | :28:44. | :28:48. | |
give drier conditions. There will be cloud from time to time, but | :28:48. | :28:53. | |
that will fizzle away to give more sunshine and light mint -- light | :28:53. | :29:03. | |
:29:03. | :29:06. | ||
winds. It should be mainly dry, but it will be cold. If you are not | :29:06. | :29:12. | |
heading to the game, it will be live on BBC Radio Ulster. Tomorrow, | :29:12. | :29:17. | |
we do it all again. It will be another cold night. It will be | :29:17. | :29:22. | |
frosty as well and that will bring us into Sunday. Sunday itself gets | :29:22. | :29:26. |
