two weeks' time. That is all from us tonight but do

:00:00.3:59:59

stay The headlines: Hello and welcome to

:00:00.:00:08.

BBC Newsline. The Governor of the Bank of England

:00:09.:00:12.

has said Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK where house

:00:13.:00:15.

prices are not recovering. Speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr show, Mark

:00:16.:00:19.

Carney said house price recovery is 'a generalised phenomenon' aside

:00:20.:00:25.

from here. However the most recent official house price statistics for

:00:26.:00:28.

Northern Ireland suggest a modest recovery has begun. The Northern

:00:29.:00:33.

Ireland Residential Property Price Index, which is produced by

:00:34.:00:36.

Stormont's statistics agency, showed quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year

:00:37.:00:41.

rises in the third quarter of 2013. This afternoon, the Bank of England

:00:42.:00:55.

stood by Mr Carney's comments. If you look at the UK as a whole,

:00:56.:00:58.

everywhere except for Northern Ireland we are seeing prices begin

:00:59.:01:02.

to recover. So it is a generalised recovery. Northern Ireland has

:01:03.:01:06.

certainly not seen the recovery other parts of the UK have seen, but

:01:07.:01:11.

in mind you we seen a stabilisation of house prices and they are

:01:12.:01:15.

probably going to be for 2013 broadly flat. I expect to see growth

:01:16.:01:22.

of about 5% this year. What we will see later this week on Wednesday are

:01:23.:01:29.

the residential property price index figures and I think that will be

:01:30.:01:33.

further evidence for tentative signs of a housing recovery underway.

:01:34.:01:40.

The police are treating an attack on a house in north Belfast as a hate

:01:41.:01:44.

crime. A number of windows were smashed at the front of the house in

:01:45.:01:47.

Deacon Street off North Queen Street at around two o'clock this morning.

:01:48.:01:51.

No one was injured. It's understood a young child was among those in the

:01:52.:01:55.

house at the time of the attack. A woman has been taken to hospital

:01:56.:01:58.

after she inhaled fumes from a faulty oil burner at her home in

:01:59.:02:02.

Rostrevor in County Down. Fire crews were called to the house on Bridge

:02:03.:02:05.

Street at around one o'clock this afternoon. The woman, her partner

:02:06.:02:09.

and a young child were living at the property. The fire officer in charge

:02:10.:02:12.

of the operation said it's important oil burners are properly serviced.

:02:13.:02:18.

The occupant reported a smell of fumes. We spent time sending men in

:02:19.:02:23.

with equipment and they've ascertained it was due to a faulty

:02:24.:02:29.

burner, an oil fire burner, at the premises. It was in severe need of

:02:30.:02:33.

servicing. The lady was taken by paramedics for treatment, she is

:02:34.:02:36.

suffering from mild smoke inhalation.

:02:37.:02:39.

A man has been arrested after the police seized ammunition in Belfast.

:02:40.:02:42.

The 36-year-old was detained after officers carried out a planned

:02:43.:02:45.

search of a property in Boundary Way off the Shankill road last night.

:02:46.:02:50.

The man has been charged with possession of ammunition under

:02:51.:02:53.

suspicious circumstances. There were mixed fortunes for local

:02:54.:03:01.

productions at the BAFTAs tonight. The writers of Good Vibrations - the

:03:02.:03:04.

film telling the life story of local record shop owner Terri Hooley -

:03:05.:03:08.

mist out on the award for Outstanding Debut. But better news

:03:09.:03:13.

for Philomena, the story of an Irish woman's 50-year search for her son,

:03:14.:03:16.

starring Dame Judi Dench. Partly filmed in Rostrevor, the movie

:03:17.:03:19.

co-written by Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope won the award for best adapted

:03:20.:03:26.

screen play. The real Philomena is here tonight. Her story has been

:03:27.:03:39.

told and her story finished in the Vatican. She's been heard but there

:03:40.:03:43.

are 60,000 other women who have yet to trace their children and their

:03:44.:03:47.

story is not yet over. The Belfast giants are ice hockey's

:03:48.:03:50.

elite league champions. They won 3-1 tonight away to Nottingham Panthers

:03:51.:03:53.

and both the Dundee Stars and Sheffield Steelers lost meaning the

:03:54.:03:56.

Giants lift the fourth league title and second in three years.

:03:57.:04:00.

Now a look ahead to a story that we'll be bringing you on BBC

:04:01.:04:03.

Newsline at six thirty tomorrow night. Billy Connolly will be

:04:04.:04:06.

joining us from New York, where he'll be talking about his work with

:04:07.:04:10.

Seamus Heaney on one of the poet's last projects he was working on

:04:11.:04:11.

before he died. The weather, and we certainly

:04:12.:04:21.

enjoyed a better end to the weekend with plenty of dry sunny weather

:04:22.:04:25.

into the afternoon. Unfortunately, this evening we'd seen scattered

:04:26.:04:29.

showers coming in. That is because of this area of low pressure pushing

:04:30.:04:33.

in. Through the night, it will bring rain and some of that could be heavy

:04:34.:04:37.

at times. The good news is because of the cloud and rain we have no

:04:38.:04:41.

eyes or frost in the forecast tonight. Temperatures should stay

:04:42.:04:45.

around the single figures. Unsettled weather stays with us into Monday,

:04:46.:04:49.

it will be grey and damp would spell the rain. A fair amount of rain out

:04:50.:04:57.

there, not for everyone, but for some. The rain comes and goes as do

:04:58.:05:01.

the dry spells. It won't rain all day. That is the good news.

:05:02.:05:06.

Temperatures above average for this time of year. Elsewhere, low

:05:07.:05:09.

pressure is controlled across England and Ireland so a similar

:05:10.:05:13.

picture for us all. Cloudy and grey would spell the rain. For the

:05:14.:05:16.

south-west there is a weather warning in France for that rain,

:05:17.:05:21.

falling on very saturated ground. A further risk of flooding. For

:05:22.:05:25.

Northern Ireland do keep the waterproofs handy. There will be

:05:26.:05:30.

some dry spells to enjoy as well, it is not going to be completely wet

:05:31.:05:34.

everywhere. Through tomorrow evening, much of the rain will ease

:05:35.:05:39.

away. Temperatures nine or 10 degrees, well above average for the

:05:40.:05:43.

time of year. On Tuesday, remaining mostly persistent across parts of

:05:44.:05:47.

Scotland. Many other areas across Britain enjoy a dry day with good

:05:48.:05:52.

spells of sunshine. The Northern Ireland, a promising start of the

:05:53.:05:55.

day with good spells of sunshine through the afternoon. But wet

:05:56.:06:00.

weather and spells of rain arrive later on. Not by everyone.

:06:01.:06:04.

Temperatures stay above average for this time of year as well. Wednesday

:06:05.:06:09.

promises to be the best day of the week with plenty of dry weather to

:06:10.:06:12.

be had, but by Thursday another system from the Atlantic brings

:06:13.:06:16.

rain, showers and stronger winds. Our next BBC Newsline bulletin is at

:06:17.:06:20.

6.25am. You can keep up to day with local news on BBC Radio Ulster and

:06:21.:06:23.
