arrives on Friday. Can't wait! That's all from the BBC News | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
Good evening, the headlines on BBC Newsline. | :00:00. | :00:18. | |
As Richard Haass briefs Downing Street on his draft proposals, they | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
face criticism from the DUP at home. The if I thought this was the final | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
paper then there would be steam coming out of my ears but it is not | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
the final paper and we still have work to do. It is business as usual | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
here in the Cathedral Quarter after Friday night's bomb. But the anger | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
and the disgust remains. The police get more time to question | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
a man about a double murder in east Belfast. | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
In sport the Linfield manager says sorry for his embarrassing internet | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
video. And it'll be a fine winter's day | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
tomorrow but stormy weather is on the way. I'll have the details | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
shortly. First to the Haass talks and the DUP | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
leader Peter Robinson has said the proposals put forward so far on the | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
past, parades and flags are unacceptable to his party. Mr | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
Robinson said if he thought that the document was the final paper there | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
would be steam coming out of his ears. In what seemed to be a | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
response on social media Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness advised, what he | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
called, the more excitable among us to cool their jets. Today was the | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
first time all five Executive parties got sight of the draft | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
proposals put forward by Dr Haass. The US diplomat hopes to have | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
agreement this week. Here is our Political Reporter Stephen Walker. | :01:45. | :01:53. | |
The signs of Christmas were hard to avoid at this Belfast hotel. Today | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
it was home to the five executive parties, but there was little sign | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
of political goodwill after they all had a chance to read the first draft | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
of the Richard Haass report on flags, parades and the past. If I | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
thought this was the final paper then there would be steam coming out | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
of my ears but it is not the final paper and we still have work to do | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
and we are up to doing that work. We are committing ourselves to continue | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
the process so we can have a satisfactory outcome. Other | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
Unionists had similar concerns. Maggie Thatcher on an occasion like | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
this once famously said, out, out, out. We are a long way from in, in, | :02:34. | :02:55. | |
in. That is the challenge and we accept it. We will work positively | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
over the next few days to try and deliver. Alliance said they hoped | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
other parties were not playing political games. These are serious | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
issues, issues with the ability to unlock a different future for | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
Northern Ireland. The time for playing games is up and the time for | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
serious work has started. Today Richard Haass was in London to brief | :03:08. | :03:08. | |
officials in Downing Street and Secretary of State. The SDLP thinks | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
the British government has distanced itself from the talks process. The | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
British government has, and continues to be, detached from this | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
process. It continues to maintain the argument that this is about five | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
parties and it is not. It is about five parties and to governments. No | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
one from Sinn Fein was available for interview tonight but Martin | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
McGuinness did tweak a reference to the First Minister. | :03:36. | :03:44. | |
Richard Haass had hoped to have a document ready by Thursday that all | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
the parties could sign up to. This reaction to his first draft | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
indicates that there is much talking and rewriting to do if an agreement | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
is to be reached by the end of the week. | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
Our political editor Mark Devenport is with me now. So, Mark, not a very | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
positive reaction to Dr Haass's proposals so far. What's the next | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
move? It is certainly hotting up. I think | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
we can interpret, as in previous negotiations, all of these | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
shenanigans outside the table to trying to affect whether compromises | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
on the negotiating table. The DUP are not spelling out what they are | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
unhappy about but there is a lot of speculation that flags have been the | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
most difficult issue and they were not happy about the Richard Haass | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
interest in a new Northern Ireland regional flag nor about some of the | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
suggestions from the team about the circumstances in which a trickle | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
could be flown in Northern Ireland. Potentially one could see it on the | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
occasion of Irish president 's visit. Whatever has been explored | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
there, obviously Peter Robinson is unhappy at the moment and Martin | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
McGuinness has quoted his own words back at him. On another matter it | :05:02. | :05:09. | |
emerged today that Lord Laird is facing a four-month suspension from | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
the House of Lords. Remind us why that is happening? The conduct | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
committee has recommended this suspension and it has to be ratified | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
by the full house of laws and that is likely to happen. They have | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
upheld a finding by the Lords standards Commissioner that Lord | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
Laird broke the standards of the House of Lords by seeking to create | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
an all-party group at the behest of consultants or carry out | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
Parliamentary services at the behest of reporters, as it turned out, in | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
return for a payment of some kind. This goes back to June when he was | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
the target of two undercover sting operations, one including -- one | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
involving the Sunday Times who set up a fake energy company and the | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
other one was the panorama programme of the BBC. He was also asked to | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
lobby for the South Pacific state of Fiji. He was talking about getting a | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
trip to Fiji and this is a reminder of what he told Panorama in that | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
encounter. How embarrassing has this been for | :06:12. | :06:34. | |
the leadership? It has been a difficult one for the Ulster | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
Unionists. First of all Lord Laird heads said he had done nothing wrong | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
and he was originally backed by the party but when those video clips | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
were seen he said it was on a defying and the parliamentary whip | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
was removed. This is now a serious matter that there has been such a | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
serious penalty. It has not been said whether he will be taken back | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
into the party once this has run its course but it is looking fairly | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
unlikely on the basis of this report which is very strong in the findings | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
against Lord Laird. It's estimated ?60,000 was lost by | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
restaurants affected by Friday night's bomb attack in the Cathedral | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
Quarter area of Belfast. A small device in a holdall went off as | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
police officers were clearing the area. Detectives believe they've | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
caught a suspect on CCTV. Conor Macauley reports. | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
A police foot patrol in the Cathedral Quarter this morning. | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
Response to recent dissident republican attacks has walked the | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
line between and reassurance. The chief comes to the was out in the | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
Belfast Christmas market this afternoon and afterwards he was | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
asked about the Cathedral Quarter bombing. We have a minority, a | :07:47. | :07:54. | |
hard-core minority, who for reasons of their own hatred and their | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
inability to move on are determined to take the city back but this is a | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
European city of renown, it is a world city that is making progress. | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
It is a city that will not be taken back. The menu boards were back out | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
this morning as businesses at the scene counted the cost of the | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
incident. A small bomb with petrol attached left in this holdall | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
exploded just after 6:30pm as the area was thronged with Christmas | :08:21. | :08:31. | |
revellers. It brought severe disruption to what has become the | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
entertainment centre of the city. It may have been a small bomb but it | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
had a big economic impact on this part of the city on Friday night. | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
There are about 550 restaurant seats in this square and all of them were | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
cleared out and no one came back in on Friday night. One restaurant said | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
the cost was something in the region of ?5,000 so broadening that out the | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
bill for the restaurants alone in this part of the city was something | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
around the region of ?60,000. This man and his partner have sunk their | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
life savings into a nearby coffee shop. He left a job in the civil | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
service to open the business and it had only been trading for four days | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
when the bomb went off. I just hope that we are going to continue having | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
a business open here and that people will come in and support us and | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
support the people of Belfast. We cannot be held to ransom like that, | :09:17. | :09:24. | |
no more. The Lord Mayor has spent the weekend rallying support for the | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
city and its businesses. We have confidence in Belfast by people | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
would like to keep us outside of the city centre and intimidate and | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
frighten us. They want to have our voices stilled but that all the | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
carol services I was out over the weekend the message was we will | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
still love Belfast, believe in Belfast and celebrate Belfast. There | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
was no sign of a lack of consumer confidence this afternoon. This was | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
the cue for a shopping centre. Extra security measures are now the norm | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
again. BBC Newsline's Mervyn Jess is in the | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
Cathedral Quarter for us this evening. Mervyn. | :09:59. | :10:07. | |
I am standing here in St Andrews Square, just a few yards from where | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
the bomb went off on Friday night. The restaurants around me are open | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
and people are eating and enjoying their evening out. The theatre is | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
open as well and RPA you can see people using the gym. It has not put | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
them off coming out tonight. Over here is the man that works with the | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
development of this area and looks after the whole area. You obviously | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
are not pleased about what happened but what is the feeling amongst | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
people like yourself who have been working to try and generate Belfast | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
-- business in this part of Belfast? On Saturday and Sunday this | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
place was packed again. People have a perspective and realise that what | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
happened on Friday night, while it is worrying and concerning, it will | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
not put them off. A lot of effort is being made in this place by so many | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
people on the artistic and cultural front from private perspective and | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
government perspective to stop this happening. It will keep going. This | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
place is thriving and it is the beating heart of the city and people | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
will not be put off from coming here and having a good time. The success | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
of it is more has made it the target? I suspect so but who can | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
tell how these people think. I suspect that is the reason. They | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
know it is a successful play so they try to disrupt it and this is what | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
it is about, disruption. We have to be vigilant and careful but we also | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
have to get things into perspective. This is a very safe | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
city centre and a very safe place to come. Everybody is welcome here and | :11:39. | :11:48. | |
everybody has a good time when they come. He met with the police today | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
to talk about security, briefly, it is a fine balance. You want to have | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
security but you don't want people to be put off from enjoying | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
themselves. Absolutely. It is about being vigilant and working with the | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
police. I think it is as you say, not about putting people off, it | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
really isn't and it will not be either. I -- you think it will be a | :12:09. | :12:17. | |
happy Christmas here? Come and have a beer, I am sure you will have a | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
good time. It is a chilly night and there are a lot of people about but | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
it will pick up as the night goes on. | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
People are still out of their homes tonight because of a bomb alert on | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
the outskirts of west Belfast. It began at around 11:00am when a | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
suspect device was found at Glenmeen Close in Hannahstown, off the Upper | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
Springfield Road. The army were called to examine it and the street | :12:37. | :12:47. | |
is still cordoned off. Here we are again. I condemned an incident last | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
week and now people have been evacuated from their homes. People | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
know they are not going to get back into their houses after coming back | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
from school. The only people who are being messed with is the community | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
who live here. The police have been given more time | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
to question a 33-year-old man about the murder of two people in east | :13:10. | :13:17. | |
Belfast. The bodies of Finbar McGrillen and Caron Smyth were found | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
in a house last Friday. The police are treating the motive behind their | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
killings as domestic. Helen Jones reports. | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
Very little is known about the circumstances surrounding these | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
murders. What happened in this flat, when or why, is under investigation. | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
It is a very quiet street and we are very sad that it has happened. | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
Nobody seems to know who it is. Between us and our next-door | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
neighbour we ask if anybody knew who it was but everybody keeps | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
themselves to themselves in this street. 40-year-old Karen Smith has | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
family coming from Southdown and Finn Margaret McGreal in -- Finbar | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
McGrillen is understood to have come from Castlewellan. The police say | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
they were killed between Wednesday the 11th and Wednesday the 13th of | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
December. Police received a report from a member of the public who | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
advised police that he found the door of the flat had been quite | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
badly damaged. Police attended and in the living room of this flat they | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
discovered the body of a man and a woman. They were pronounced dead at | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
the scene. A postmortem will be carried out in the coming days to | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
determine the exact cause of death however we are treating this at the | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
moment as a suspected domestic homicide. They believe the person | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
who killed the couple may well have been in a relationship with one of | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
them. The result of postmortem examinations have not been released | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
yet and detectives have more time to question a 33-year-old man who was | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
arrested on Saturday afternoon. Still ahead on BBC Newsline before | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
7:00pm. Ballinderry's footballers book their | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
place in the all-Ireland club semi-finals. A 24-year-old man has | :15:02. | :15:14. | |
died after his motorcycle crashed in County Down yesterday. | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
It happened on the Katesbridge Road in Moneyslane. The name of the man | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
who died has not yet been released. A postmortem examination is being | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
held on the body of a 30-year-old woman found in north Belfast. Her | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
remains were in an alleyway close to the Antrim Road on Sunday morning. | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
The man cleared of murdering the Castlederg teenager Arlene Arkinson | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
will find out next week if he will get legal aid for her inquest. The | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
jury in Robert Howard's trial was not told he is serving life for | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
murdering and raping a girl from London. The body of the 15-year-old | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
Tyrone girl, who went missing in 1994 after a night out in Bundoran, | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
has never been found. An inquest into her death was ordered after the | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
family asked the senior coroner to examine how the RUC had conducted | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
its investigation. The man known as the Black Santa has | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
begun his annual Christmas sit-out for charity at St Anne's Cathedral | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
in Belfast. The Dean will be collecting money until Christmas | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
Eve. The vigil started in 1976 and has raised millions of pounds for | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
charity since then. This year, the target is ?200,000 and there will be | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
a separate collection for the Philippines Appeal. And that the | :16:23. | :16:36. | |
people out of work, it is a real struggle. But there are some people | :16:37. | :16:49. | |
with money learned people that can manage, they appreciate that people | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
who receive the money also needed to keep going. There are also a lot of | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
volunteers in the community. There's balance there. People are very | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
generous. The Linfield football manager has | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
landed himself in trouble after a fan posted a video on the internet. | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
Coming up, the latest weather forecast. | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
David Jeffrey could face internal disciplinary action within the club | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
following the release of a video in which he sings about a Glentoran | :17:26. | :17:34. | |
player Jimmy Callacher. He is set to leave Glentoran after turning down a | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
new contract and has been linked with a move to Linfield. In a | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
statement, the Linfield board of directors said that the content of | :17:42. | :17:43. | |
the video was deplorable, deeply embarrassing and contrary to the | :17:44. | :17:54. | |
best traditions of the club. The most successful current manager in | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
Linfield apologised unreservedly and said he was embarrassed by this | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
video. The stark reality is that when I | :18:04. | :18:27. | |
look at it, I am totally embarrassed. Regardless of the | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
context, which I can assure you was of the most innocent nature. I would | :18:35. | :18:46. | |
apologise both to Glentoran football club, their manager and Jimmy | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
Callacher the player, plus of course, our own board and the | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
players for any embarrassment that was caused. As Linfield went to the | :18:58. | :19:06. | |
top of the table, Jimmy Callacher was not part of the side. He has | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
said he will not play for them again. He has had the temptation of | :19:14. | :19:22. | |
an offer with Linfield and decided to go there. Some other players have | :19:23. | :19:32. | |
done the same thing. The boxing the derby between the two clubs is one | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
of the highest profile fixtures in the calendar and this will only add | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
further spice to the fixture. The draw for the fifth round of the | :19:43. | :19:50. | |
Irish Cup was made earlier today. Holders Glentoran have a tough | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
start, with a trip to Shamrock Park to take on Portadown, who beat | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
Coleraine 2-0 in the league on Saturday. Coleraine have been drawn | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
against last season's beaten finalists Cliftonville. Linfield | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
will host Dergview at Windsor Park. Full details on the BBC Sport NI | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
website. Ballinderry's Gaelic footballers | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
have a Valentine's Day date with St Vincents of Dublin. The teams will | :20:10. | :20:18. | |
meet in the All-Ireland club semifinal on February 14 after | :20:19. | :20:20. | |
defeating London champions Kingdom Kerry Gaels. Ballinderry, the Ulster | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
champions, survived a late scare from the underdogs. At the final | :20:24. | :20:36. | |
whistle, it was all fairly relaxed. A win is expected and a chance for | :20:37. | :20:44. | |
good friends on both sides to catch up with each other. His good friend | :20:45. | :20:53. | |
at the right was essentially the difference between the sides. He | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
scored the first goal. He also helped set up the second. He coolly | :21:00. | :21:08. | |
scored the third to give them an eleven point lead and game over. | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
Or so we thought and this penalty just left one goal between the | :21:14. | :21:23. | |
sides. However, they steadied the ship and stumbled to the wind. They | :21:24. | :21:35. | |
lost a man in the first-half and aerially to regain tillers. They got | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
that penalty and we were looking around at each other, thinking what | :21:42. | :21:49. | |
was going on. But it is not the first time this that team has done | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
this to as, and nations as the character the side. This was our | :21:56. | :22:04. | |
main objective and we set out what we wanted to do. They have been in | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
the final once before and could the class of 2013 emulate them? It may | :22:12. | :22:20. | |
not have been the prettiest game, but sometimes the most ugly ones are | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
the most important. Ulster are the only unbeaten team in | :22:24. | :22:31. | |
rugby union's Heineken Cup after round four. They emerged from the | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
thick Italian fog with a bonus point win over Treviso on Saturday. | :22:36. | :22:37. | |
In very challenging conditions, Luke Marshall scored the first try of the | :22:38. | :22:39. | |
game late into the first half. Despite the low visibility at ground | :22:40. | :22:47. | |
level, Paddy Jackson continued his great form with the boot, kicking 15 | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
points, to keep the Italians well out of reach throughout the game. | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
The bonus point try came in the final stages of the game, when Jared | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
Payne was put through by Andrew Trimble to score in the corner. The | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
win keeps Ulster firmly at the top of Pool five. | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
18-time champion jockey Tony McCoy came third in last night's BBC | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
Sports Personality of the Year in Leeds. | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
The Moneyglass man finished behind runner-up, the Wales and Lions rugby | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
player Leigh Halfpenny, and the overall winner, Wimbledon champion | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
Andy Murray. But he says he now has other prizes in mind. Every year, | :23:19. | :23:27. | |
you set out to be champion jockey. You try and when races than everyone | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
else. To be champion jockey as the main aim and then take it from the. | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
Ireland's cricketers returned home today, fresh from completing an | :23:41. | :23:42. | |
unprecedented treble of trophies, after adding the Inter-Continental | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
Cup on Friday to their wins in the World T20 and World Cricket League. | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
And for the retiring Trent Johnston, who is to take up a new dual role as | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
academy bowling coach and boss of the Ireland women's team, it was the | :23:55. | :24:03. | |
perfect send-off. I am over the moon. I am so excited me finish this | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
off with these three titles and now a new chapter starts. I am very | :24:09. | :24:16. | |
grateful for for the opportunity that Cricket Ireland have given me | :24:17. | :24:24. | |
over the past decade. Guys have stepped up at the most important | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
times throughout the year. There has always been one person who has | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
stepped up. It is great testament to the spirit in the side. | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
The Belfast Giants sit seven points clear at the top of the Elite League | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
table, following a 5-2 win at the weekend over rivals the Sheffield | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
Steelers. Two goals in the space of 20 seconds put them in control of | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
the match, which was played in front of a crowd of just under 5,000 at | :24:49. | :24:57. | |
the Odyssey on Saturday. Arguably, the best goal of the night was | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
Robbie Sandrock's shot from behind his own goal into the Steelers' | :25:01. | :25:02. | |
empty net. Kick boxer Gary Hamilton failed in | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
his attempt to win the world light-welterweight title at a | :25:07. | :25:08. | |
sold-out Ulster Hall on Saturday. He lost to the champion Daniel Zahra of | :25:09. | :25:25. | |
Malta. There, there was certainly a bike in the year today. | :25:26. | :25:26. | |
The weather is next, with Barra. We are back into winter with a bit | :25:27. | :25:40. | |
of a pain. Today has been not a bad day, with plenty of tried weather. | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
As we go through this evening, we will have one of two showers pushing | :25:47. | :25:55. | |
from the West along the country. Prayer that is surface water | :25:56. | :25:57. | |
remaining, we could see some eyes forming. There could be some mist | :25:58. | :26:05. | |
and fog early tomorrow. But tomorrow will be the best day of the week. | :26:06. | :26:15. | |
Some nice tranny and great deals, with sunshine during the course of | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
the day. You will not need an umbrella, but I would still | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
recommend taking gloves and a scarf, because it is going to be still | :26:26. | :26:33. | |
really great called. In some sealed sheltered areas, it will not feel | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
too bad in the sunshine, but high temperatures of eight Celsius. | :26:39. | :26:49. | |
Tomorrow night, more rain coming in from the west across the country, | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
but temperatures staying up because of the cloud and rain. Rain on and | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
off during the course of the day throughout Wednesday. Temperatures | :27:02. | :27:10. | |
up a couple of degrees on today. As Wigan into the second part of | :27:11. | :27:18. | |
Wednesday, the rainbow cleared away and the isobars are going to pack it | :27:19. | :27:25. | |
in, which means wind. Gusts of up to 80 mph on Thursday. Already, the Met | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
office has put out and nearly warning for that and there could be | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
some disruption. We will be keeping an eye on that. | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
