Good evening. A six-year-old boy who was knocked down along with his twin

brother in Lisburn on Wednesday, has died. Diarmuid Frazer died in

hospital last night. His brother is said to be in a stable condition.

Conor Macauley reports. As new filtered out that one of the

twins knocked down here on Wednesday had died of people arrived to lay

flowers at the scene. Dermot Fraser and his brother had gone with a

parent to have their hair cut and were crossing Railway Street in

Lisbon at around 3:30pm when the accident took place. What happened

here was a tragic sequence of events. The traffic in the far lane

was backed up due to roadworks further up the street, but the

traffic in this nearside lane was moving freely. The children crossed

from the far side of the street. They were with a parent, but they

came between the back up cars, so the young woman who hit them in this

lane would have had little time to see them more or to stop. The boys

were pupils at a local primary school. There have been press here

since the accident that they would both pull through. The news of the

little boy's that has rocked this close-knit rural community. We have

been hoping and praying for the best. The news last night has

devastated the community. To know that there is a little twin, a

little brother, he is recovering, and to have seen that tragedy, it is

awfully sad. His brother is said to be stable in hospital. Police are

asking anyone who may have witnessed the accident to come forward.

A 22-year-old man has been charged with having explosives with intent

to endanger life. It follows the discovery of a bomb and command wire

in a holdall on the junction of Shaws Road and Glenn Road in West

Belfast on Thursday. The man is due before Belfast Magistrates' Court on

Monday. The police are investigating a hate

crime after a car was damaged in Londonderry in the early hours of

this morning. Four men were arrested following the incident in the

Fountain area of the city. They've been released on bail pending

further inquiries. The family of Corporal Channing Day,

the 25-year-old County Down medic who was killed in Afghanistan, have

attended a special service in Comber. A new memorial in the town's

square was unveiled to commemorate all those who have lost their lives

in the armed forces since the Second World War. Channing's name was

included on the monument, which was commissioned by Ards Borough

Council. I don't think she will be forgotten

ever hear, let alone in her family. The number of people we have met who

knew Channing Day when she was in the cadets, and all the tributes

that have been paid to her daily, even on her Facebook page.

A Russian sailor has appeared in court in Belfast, accused of being

drunk in charge of a ship. The 53-year-old confirmed that he spoke

some English. It's understood that the captain of the ship, which has a

cargo of coal, alerted the Harbour Master that he believed his Chief

Engineer was drunk. When he was breathalysed, it's alleged the

sailor was more than three times the legal drink-drive limit. A police

officer said they wouldn't be opposing bail because the vessel

will be in Belfast harbour for a period of time.

First Trust say a fault which affected ATM and card transactions

in many parts of Northern Ireland earlier has been fixed. It is still

working to fully restore online banking services.

The leader of the Green Party in Northern Ireland has called for

greater transparency when it comes to political donations. Steven Agnew

says all parties should make donations public. Northern Ireland

is the only area of the UK where political donations are secret. The

MLA for North Down was speaking at his party's annual conference.

If you can buy a political party, and I am not saying it has happened

in Northern Ireland, but what I am saying is that nobody out there

cannot say it is not happening. One person with independent wealth could

fund a political party and we would not know it. Decisions could be made

in their favour, rather than in the favour of the common good.

The weather's been Good evening. It looks as though

most places will be dry for a while tonight. There will be some further

rain during the early hours, but up until midnight most places will be

dry. Don't forget that the box spring forward and Albert tonight,

so you will need to reset all your clocks and watches, so that means an

hour less in bed. The second half of the night will become cloudy and

damp, but it will be frost free. Some damp weather tomorrow morning

to begin with, but the second half of Sunday will improve quite

nicely. So, a lot of cloud on Sunday morning, showery rain in some

places. Those showers ease as the morning goes on, and tomorrow

afternoon should see some brightness developing. It is coming from the

south-east, say many parts of England and Wales will have warm

spells of sunshine. This area of sea fog drifts onto the West of Scotland

so there will be some sunshine around, and over the Republic of

Ireland some cloudy and damp weather, but hopefully writing up in

eastern counties. -- brightening up. Not as blustery as today. Where the

sun makes an appearance, the mid teens is quite possible. A warmer

feel to the day on paired with today. On Monday, we still have

those southeasterly winds, but the rain is back. Temperatures still in

double figures. We continue to keep a southeasterly drift which means

that the East Coast and parts of Belfast will be quite blustery at

times, and it is still fairly unsettled will stop keep your eye

umbrella handy. BBC Newsline will be back tomorrow

at a 6:45pm. You can keep up to date with local news on BBC Radio Ulster,
