:00:42.:00:45.

man has been arrested and is being questioned. Neighbours said they

:00:46.:00:52.

were shocked at the news and that this is generally a quiet area. The

:00:53.:00:56.

postmortem will be carried out to establish the cause of the death,

:00:57.:00:58.

but at this time, it is being treated as suspicious.

as criminals masquerading as republicans. She was speaking at one

:01:29.:01:34.

of a number of events held to commemorate the anniversary of the

:01:35.:01:37.

Easter Rising, as Louise Cullen reports. The main republican parade

:01:38.:01:45.

in Belfast made its way from the west of the city to a cemetery. The

:01:46.:01:50.

good weather brought hundreds onto the streets to watch. The Easter

One of these small groups took the life of Tommy Crossan in this city.

:02:36.:02:40.

The only thing they have succeeded in doing is leaving a family

:02:41.:02:45.

bereavement. The republican community does not want them.

:02:46.:02:52.

Similar crowds joined the commemorations elsewhere. They heard

calls for support and for social and economic equality to be addressed.

The Fire and Rescue Service have been dealing with a serious gorse

:03:31.:03:33.

fire close to Newcastle. At its height, approximately ten acres of

:03:34.:03:36.

land at Ballagh Bridge on Ballagh Road, were alight and the flames

:03:37.:03:40.

were fanned by high winds. A short time ago, the blaze was said to be

:03:41.:03:43.

under control. Well, winter storms earlier this

:03:44.:03:46.

year have changed the shape of a number of our beaches. And as

:03:47.:03:52.

lifeguards from the RNLI go on duty for the summer season, they're

:03:53.:03:56.

warning people to be careful at the seaside. When the weather is good,

:03:57.:04:00.

there is no better place to be than the beach. Keeping a watchful eye,

:04:01.:04:07.

the RNLI lifeguards. They are back on our beaches for the first time

:04:08.:04:10.

this year. It might be sunny today, but last winter's stormy weather has

:04:11.:04:15.

had a big impact on our coastline. It has changed quite a bit due to

:04:16.:04:20.

some of the dramatic weather we saw over the winter. Primarily, a lot of

:04:21.:04:25.

high tides and powerful ways, which have changed the shape of the

:04:26.:04:29.

beach, often creating deep channels for the water to flow which can

:04:30.:04:33.

cause recurrence. The lifeguards are manning five beaches over the Easter

:04:34.:04:38.

break. The sun might have disappeared for now, but last year

:04:39.:04:42.

was one of Northern Ireland's hottest summers in recent times,

:04:43.:04:45.

which meant thousands of people flocked here to the beach. It was

:04:46.:04:50.

also a busy summer for the RNLI, and lifeguards had to come to the aid of

:04:51.:04:56.

about 330 people, up 153 the year before. It is more a day for walking

:04:57.:05:01.

the dog then taking a dip, but beach-goers said they were still

:05:02.:05:04.

pleased the lifeguards were still here. There are a lot of kids here

during the summer. Safety is paramount. It is vitally important.

:05:08.:05:17.

They need to be on the beach. The advice to say that truckers stay

:05:18.:05:22.

safe is to swim between the flags and check that there are lifeguards

:05:23.:05:27.

on duty. Onto the weather now, and what does

:05:28.:05:28.

Easter Monday have in store Onto the weather now, and what does

:05:29.:05:35.

for us? Good evening. It has been a gloriously sunny evening for much of

:05:36.:05:38.

Northern Ireland. Things are changing now and we will have a lot

:05:39.:05:41.

more cloud than the forecast as we go through the week ahead. It will

:05:42.:05:47.

be breezy at times, but it will not be wet all the time. Another

:05:48.:05:51.

glorious day today for Scotland and Northern Ireland. Cloudier and much

:05:52.:05:55.

wider across parts of England and Wales, particularly the South, or

:05:56.:05:59.

they had some torrential downpours. The cloud is feeding him towards us

:06:00.:06:04.

and the cloud will edge in this evening on a fresh easterly breeze

:06:05.:06:07.

and there will be a few showers around as well. I think we could see

:06:08.:06:13.

some showers in the far south by the end of the night. It is dry and

:06:14.:06:21.

fairly mild come at no lower than 6-8 degrees in towns and cities.

:06:22.:06:31.

Into tomorrow, we are looking at a cloudier read your day and there

:06:32.:06:34.

will be showers around, particularly during the morning. The North still

:06:35.:06:42.

mainly dry. A few showers across the Republic as well, but bright spells

:06:43.:06:45.

as well, and for much of England, Scotland and Wales, the day started

:06:46.:06:50.

out dry. There will be some bright spots coming through but there will

:06:51.:06:55.

be some downpours in southern areas and drifting into Wales during the

:06:56.:06:58.

latter part of the afternoon. Some of these will be quite thundery as

:06:59.:07:04.

temperatures rise to 19 degrees. For Northern Ireland, well, we might get

:07:05.:07:08.

one or two showers drifting into the South later on, but the afternoon

:07:09.:07:12.

looking largely dry, and it should brighten up as we head into the

:07:13.:07:16.

evening. Highs of either 15 or 16 degrees. For the rest of the week,

:07:17.:07:21.

rather cloudy and breezy and particularly damp on Wednesday.

:07:22.:07:26.

That is it until 10:15pm. Keep up to date on Facebook and Twitter. Enjoy

:07:27.:07:28.
