Thank you for Good evening. The police are

:00:00.:00:15.

treating the death of a woman in Belfast as suspicious. Her body was

:00:16.:00:19.

discovered in a house in the Lenadoon area this morning. Laura

:00:20.:00:21.

Bleakley reports. Forensic officers have spent the day at the house in

:00:22.:00:25.

west Belfast where the woman's body was found. Officers were called to

:00:26.:00:31.

the property around 6:25am this morning. The woman has yet to be

:00:32.:00:38.

named, but it is understood she was 30 years old. The PSNI has revealed

:00:39.:00:42.

that a 36-year-old man has been arrested and is being questioned.

:00:43.:00:46.

Neighbours said they were shocked at the news and that this is generally

:00:47.:00:54.

a quiet area. The postmortem will be carried out to establish the cause

:00:55.:00:57.

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

:00:58.:01:01.

A six-year-old boy is being treated in hospital after being knocked down

:01:02.:01:06.

by a car in Newry yesterday afternoon. The police say that the

:01:07.:01:09.

child was struck on Chapel Street around three o'clock by a

:01:10.:01:12.

black-coloured Ford Focus, which failed to stop at the scene. The

:01:13.:01:15.

boy's injuries are serious but not life-threatening. The Sinn Fein MEP

:01:16.:01:26.

Martina Anderson, has described the killers of former Continuity IRA

:01:27.:01:28.

leader Tommy Crossan as "criminals masquerading as republicans". She

:01:29.:01:32.

was speaking at one of a number of events held to commemorate the

:01:33.:01:35.

anniversary of the Easter Rising, as Louise Cullen reports.

:01:36.:01:47.

The main republican parade in Belfast made its way from the west

:01:48.:01:51.

of the city to Milltown Cemetery. The good weather brought hundreds

:01:52.:01:57.

onto the streets to watch. Republicans honoured the dead of

:01:58.:01:59.

previous conflicts, but with the murder of a former dissident leader

:02:00.:02:03.

on Friday, it was ongoing violence which featured in the keynote

:02:04.:02:08.

speaker's address. There is another minority in our community. There is

:02:09.:02:13.

an attempt to derail any progress in the peace and political processes.

:02:14.:02:19.

They are criminals. Posing as Republicans. One of these small

:02:20.:02:23.

groups took the life of Tommy Crossan in this city. Similar crowds

:02:24.:02:34.

joined the commemorations elsewhere. They heard calls for support and for

:02:35.:02:38.

social and economic equality to be addressed. The military ceremony in

:02:39.:02:45.

Dublin was led by the Irish president along with Enda Kenny and

:02:46.:02:47.

the Justice Minister. Thousands attended while around 170 members of

:02:48.:02:49.

the Navy marched. Meanwhile a man is still being

:02:50.:02:57.

questioned about the murder of Tommy Crossan on Friday. The 26-year-old

:02:58.:02:59.

was arrested yesterday morning. Winter storms earlier this year have

:03:00.:03:06.

changed the shape of a number of our beaches. And as lifeguards from the

:03:07.:03:10.

RNLI go on duty for the summer season, they're warning people to be

:03:11.:03:13.

careful at the seaside. Peter Coulter reports. Keeping a watchful

:03:14.:03:24.

eye, the RNLI lifeguards. Their boards have been dusted off. They

:03:25.:03:28.

are back on our beaches for the first time this year. It might be

:03:29.:03:32.

sunny today, but last winter's stormy weather has had a big impact

:03:33.:03:36.

on our coastline. We have seen a lot of high tides and powerful waves

:03:37.:03:39.

which have changed the shape of the beach. Which have changed the shape

:03:40.:03:43.

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

:03:44.:03:46.

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

:03:47.:03:50.

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

:03:51.:03:53.

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

:03:54.:03:55.

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

:03:56.:04:00.

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

:04:01.:04:04.

about 330 people, up 153 on the year before. The advice to say that

:04:05.:04:15.

truckers stay safe is to swim between the flags and check that

:04:16.:04:18.

there are lifeguards on duty. Onto the weather forecast now with Angie

:04:19.:04:28.

Phillips. Good evening. It has been a gloriously Easter Weekend for much

:04:29.:04:31.

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

:04:32.:04:35.

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

:04:36.:04:44.

is feeding him towards us and the cloud will edge in this evening on a

:04:45.:04:48.

fresh easterly breeze and there will be a few showers around as well. I

:04:49.:04:52.

think we could see some showers in the far south by the end of the

:04:53.:04:56.

night. It is dry and fairly mild come at no lower than 6-8 degrees in

:04:57.:05:05.

towns and cities. Into tomorrow, we are looking at a cloudier, breezier

:05:06.:05:09.

day and there will be showers around, particularly during the

:05:10.:05:12.

morning. The North still mainly dry. A few showers across the Republic as

:05:13.:05:15.

well, but bright spells as well, and for much of England, Scotland and

:05:16.:05:25.

Wales, the day started out dry. There will be some bright spots

:05:26.:05:28.

coming through but there will be some downpours in southern areas and

:05:29.:05:31.

drifting into Wales during the latter part of the afternoon. North

:05:32.:05:37.

Sea coasts will be that cooler with the onshore breeze. For Northern

:05:38.:05:41.

Ireland, well, we might get one or two showers drifting into the South

:05:42.:05:44.

later on, but the afternoon looking largely dry, and it should brighten

:05:45.:05:48.

up as we head into the evening. Highs of either 15 or 16 degrees.

:05:49.:05:51.

And it might even try to brighten up, heading into the evening. For

:05:52.:05:54.

the rest of the week, rather cloudy and breezy and particularly damp on

:05:55.:06:00.

Wednesday. On Tuesday, a fair amount of ground across the country with

:06:01.:06:04.

showers around, heavier the further east you are. And in their Wednesday

:06:05.:06:10.

we see that where the fun swinging in from the south-west bringing a

:06:11.:06:13.

mole -- more prolonged spell of rain. Elsewhere, more showers,

:06:14.:06:22.

easing off in the south-west. But for Northern Ireland, a nice job

:06:23.:06:29.

rights bills and showers. -- at a mixture of bright spells and

:06:30.:06:30.

showers. Our next
