Good evening and welcome to BBC Newsline. A young man is critically

:00:00.:00:16.

ill in hospital after he was assaulted in the Antrim Road area of

:00:17.:00:20.

North Belfast. He was one of a group of four men attacked. Two men - one

:00:21.:00:25.

aged 31, the other 23 - have been arrested in connection with the

:00:26.:00:29.

assault. Helen Jones reports. This was what people living on the Antrim

:00:30.:00:35.

Road woke up to this morning - a sizeable section of the road closed

:00:36.:00:38.

A crime scene and attention to detail is the key in finding out

:00:39.:00:42.

what happened here in the early hours of this morning. An assault

:00:43.:00:48.

which has left a man seriously ill in hospital. Investigation focussed

:00:49.:00:52.

here. There was an argument over what exactly isn't clear, but what

:00:53.:00:58.

is clear four men were assaulted, one of whom, a 24-year-old is

:00:59.:01:04.

seriously ill in hospital with a head injury. The flat here is

:01:05.:01:07.

connected in some way. The motivation is under investigation.

:01:08.:01:12.

Two men are being questioned by the police. In this case, anybody that

:01:13.:01:16.

has you know difficulties, the police should be the police that

:01:17.:01:21.

they go to sort it out. Nobody should take the law into their own

:01:22.:01:26.

hands. This is the type of mob rule law that is not acceptable. It must

:01:27.:01:31.

be through the police. The Antrim Road has sips re-opened. -- since

:01:32.:01:36.

reopened. But the investigation into the assault continues. A woman in

:01:37.:01:43.

her 80s had to receive medical treatment at her home in Lurgan

:01:44.:01:46.

after she was assaulted by a burglar. The woman disturbed the

:01:47.:01:49.

intruder in the house at May Street at about a quarter to six this

:01:50.:01:52.

morning. The pensioner and another elderly woman who live in the house

:01:53.:01:56.

are said to have been badly shaken by the ordeal. It's believed the man

:01:57.:02:03.

fled empty-handed. A woman has been pulled from her car during a

:02:04.:02:06.

hijacking in west Belfast. It happened in Hawthorne Street shortly

:02:07.:02:10.

before 9 o'clock last night. The thief made off in the car which is

:02:11.:02:14.

thought to have been driven past Queen's University later the same

:02:15.:02:17.

night. The woman was not injured, but is said to be shaken up by the

:02:18.:02:22.

incident. The Assembly is expected to discuss the loss of more than 200

:02:23.:02:26.

jobs at KPL Contracts in Dungiven when it meets on Monday. Yesterday,

:02:27.:02:29.

administrators at the company, which carries out work for utility firms

:02:30.:02:33.

like BT, NIE and NI Water, said efforts to save the business had

:02:34.:02:36.

been unsuccessful. Local MLA Cathal O Hoisin says it's a massive blow

:02:37.:02:48.

for the area. I hope to bring it to the Assembly to outline this is a

:02:49.:02:55.

company that has delivered for the Department of Regional Development

:02:56.:02:59.

and all the utility companies across the north. The expertise, the man

:03:00.:03:03.

power, is all on the ground and how much of that might cost the wider

:03:04.:03:09.

economy should we have to outsource that or go across the water for it.

:03:10.:03:15.

Onto rugby and Ireland's dreams of a Grand Slam and Triple Crown in the

:03:16.:03:18.

Six Nations were dashed yesterday, as England came from behind to win

:03:19.:03:21.

by 13-10 in a closely contested match at Twickenham. However,

:03:22.:03:24.

despite the defeat, Ireland sit top of the table on points difference

:03:25.:03:27.

and can still win the Championship. Thomas Niblock reports from London.

:03:28.:03:36.

After an absorbing but uninspiring fist half, the winning and losing of

:03:37.:03:43.

the game came after the interval. Carney broke through to give Ireland

:03:44.:03:50.

the lead. Johnny Sexton converted and scored this penalty to give

:03:51.:03:55.

Ireland a 10-3 advantage. But the final half hour belonged to England.

:03:56.:03:59.

Farrell reducing the gap. Before the moment that changed everything.

:04:00.:04:07.

England broke, Browne carried, before Care had all the time in the

:04:08.:04:12.

world to score England's try. Farrell converted, Ireland couldn't

:04:13.:04:18.

respond and England held on for a famous win. Unfortunately days like

:04:19.:04:25.

this are the ones you learn the most. We will probably have a few

:04:26.:04:33.

tough days. But that's part of it and I think the guys will be looking

:04:34.:04:39.

forward to playing against Italy and try Ogg to put in a good -- trying

:04:40.:04:45.

to put in a good performance. So the weekend ends in disappointment and

:04:46.:04:49.

hopes for a Grand Slam have gone so, too the Triple Crown, but hopes for

:04:50.:04:53.

a Six Nations Championship are still alive, but only just. And in the

:04:54.:05:01.

Rabo Direct Pro12 League Ulster had a narrow victory in Italy away to

:05:02.:05:05.

Benetton Treviso, winning by 14-12. Darren Cave sprinted in to open the

:05:06.:05:09.

scoring for Ulster, before Robbie Diack charged over for Ulster's

:05:10.:05:14.

second try. However, a fourth penalty from Mat Berquist closed the

:05:15.:05:18.

gap to just two points at the final whistle. And in football, the

:05:19.:05:24.

qualifying groups have been drawn for the 2016 European Championships

:05:25.:05:27.

in France. Northern Ireland are in Group F and will face Greece, the

:05:28.:05:30.

Faroe Islands, Finland, Romania and Hungary. Meanwhile the Republic of

:05:31.:05:33.

Ireland will face Scotland in one of the toughest groups, which also

:05:34.:05:35.

includes Germany, Poland, Georgia and Gibraltar. And finally onto the

:05:36.:05:45.

weather forecast for the week ahead, and here's Barra Best. It has been a

:05:46.:05:51.

great end to weekend, with plenty of sunny weather. There is more of that

:05:52.:05:56.

to come tomorrow. Tonight we will hold on to a few scattered showers,

:05:57.:06:02.

most places though will stay dry and temperatures typically in towns and

:06:03.:06:06.

cities around four degrees. So not too chillaway start to Monday. But

:06:07.:06:11.

like today there will be plenty of dry and bright weather and some

:06:12.:06:15.

sunshine. It won't be dry all day. There will be a few showers at

:06:16.:06:21.

first, before the rain comes later on. It is a fine day right across

:06:22.:06:26.

Britain tomorrow. Some rain for some central and eastern areas. But

:06:27.:06:30.

generally dry and bright for many areas. Through the day we have this

:06:31.:06:34.

next weather system pushing up across Ireland, bringing wind and

:06:35.:06:39.

rain. That rain will reach Northern Ireland later in the afternoon and

:06:40.:06:43.

it will stay us with tomorrow evening. So a much more unsettled

:06:44.:06:48.

end today. That low pressure will stay with us on Tuesday. There will

:06:49.:06:53.

be further scattered showers. Also some dry weather at times. Maybe the

:06:54.:06:58.

odd hint of brighter weather. Temperatures on Tuesday seven or

:06:59.:07:03.

eight degrees. For the time being Wednesday is shaping up to be the

:07:04.:07:08.

better day of the week after Monday. Drier and brighter. After Wednesday,

:07:09.:07:13.

more low pressure is on the way and we can expect it to turn wet and

:07:14.:07:18.

windy again. And that's it for the moment. Our next BBC Newsline

:07:19.:07:21.

bulletin is at 10.15 this evening. Until then you can keep up to date

:07:22.:07:25.
