Good evening, the headlines on BBC Newsline. | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
The Chief Constable rejects Sinn Fein's claims that the arrest of | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
Gerry Adams was the work of the dark side in the police. | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
Boston College says it will return interviews by former paramilitaries | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
about their role in the Troubles. Seven men charged in connection with | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
the death of a Catholic community worker admit lesser charges. | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
The Polish Consul meets police as the home of another Polish family is | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
attacked in East Belfast. Also this evening on the programme: | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
The new cartoon that's not only bringing jobs to Londonderry, but is | :00:47. | :00:56. | |
promoting the local accent too. Pink is the only colour in fashion | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
this week, as Northern Ireland gets ready for the Giro d'Italia. | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
And wouldn't it be nice if our weather could turn a little Italian? | :01:05. | :01:13. | |
I'll be back with a full forecast. The Chief Constable has rejected | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
allegations by Sinn Fein that the arrest of Gerry Adams was the work | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
of a "dark side" within the police. Matt Baggott said questioning the | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
motivation or impartiality of the police was unfair and inappropriate. | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
There is some flash photography in this report from our home affairs | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
correspondent Vincent Kearney. Gerry Adams was released on Sunday | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
night, four days after what his party claimed was a politically | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
motivated arrests. A short time later he criticised those behind the | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
decision to detain him. It is the old guard using the old methods, | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
those who authorised this didn't make the right strategic decision. | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
Last week, Martin McGuinness suggested Sinn Fein could withdraw | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
its support for the police because of the actions of what he called the | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
dark side of the PSNI. There is a section of the PSNI who have a | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
different agenda. A negative and destructive agenda, to both the | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
peace protests -- process and Sinn Fein. The Chief Constable today | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
defended the actions of his officers. | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
In a statement, Matt Baggott said the accusation of a dark side within | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
the PSNI is one he refutes. He said questioning the motivation and | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
impartiality of the police was unfair and inappropriate. The Chief | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
Constable said the arrest and questioning of Gerry Adams was | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
legitimate and lawful, and that it would have been wrong to treat him | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
differently to any other citizen. The statement said the police are | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
tasked with following the evidence without fear or favour in accordance | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
with the law, and that the PSNI will continue to do so regardless of any | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
undue pressures. The first minister today said the | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
DPP would have tried to exclude Sinn Fein from the... We would not be | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
slow in bringing forward a motion for exclusion, and if Sinn Fein had | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
not corrected its motion, but would have gone down. | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
Peter Robinson is also seeking a meeting with the Chief Constable | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
over reports that the Sinn Fein president is unlikely to face any | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
charges and there is new evidence emerges. | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
-- unless. The arrest of Gerry Adams may also | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
have signalled an end to the controversial Boston College | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
Project. In it, more than 40 former paramilitaries - both loyalists and | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
republicans - gave oral accounts of the Troubles which they understood | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
were to remain secret unless they gave permission or until after their | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
deaths. The Sinn Fein Leader claims his arrest was largely based on the | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
interviews given by three former IRA members, and he has welcomed the | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
news that the college is prepared to return the documents to those who | :04:07. | :04:16. | |
took part. Julie McCullough reports. The vast majority of the hundreds of | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
interviews carried out with former Northern Ireland on men and almost | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
still remain secret it away in Boston College. But after the PSNI | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
won a legal battle to get some of the material for use in its | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
investigation into Jean McConville's border, there were | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
recriminations for those involved in the project. | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
One of those interviewed was former IRA man Brendan Hughes, who has | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
since died. If you go online and you can say -- get access to the | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
document he signed before he agreed for the recordings of him to be | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
archived. It says, access to the tapes and transcripts shall be | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
restricted until after death, except in those cases of prior written | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
approval. Most importantly, there is no | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
mention in this agreement that the interviews under law might have to | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
be handed over to the authorities. The college says those in charge of | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
the project should have known there was always that risk. The Mitchell | :05:24. | :05:33. | |
legal assistance training was signed between the United States and the | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
United Kingdom -- mutual. But possibility that it could be invoked | :05:40. | :05:49. | |
was always present. The reality is the project director was convinced | :05:50. | :05:58. | |
that would never happen. Lead researcher of former IRA | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
prisoner Anthony McIntyre says if he had known about the treaty, he would | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
not have carried out the interviews. The strain that I have brought down | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
on my family -- that has been brought down, the last three years | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
of my life has been made pretty difficult. I have to be robust here, | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
but I would not have placed myself and the other interviewees at risk | :06:24. | :06:31. | |
just to get an archive. He confirmed that he himself gave an | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
interview to the project about his own past. I would go into any | :06:38. | :06:46. | |
detail, but when I exposed myself to the same -- are exposed myself to | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
the same risks as anybody. He now believes the interviews | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
should be handed back. Boston College says it is prepared to do | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
that, so long as it can verify they are going back to the individuals | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
who took part in the project. Later tonight, Spotlight's Declan | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
Lawn reports on how the Boston College Project shattered the IRA's | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
code of silence - that's at 10:35 here on BBC One after our late BBC | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
Newsline. A woman in her 80s has died in a car | :07:14. | :07:22. | |
crash in County Down. It happened in Rathfriland this afternoon when her | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
car was in collision with a lorry on Downpatrick Street. The woman who | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
died was from the area. Her name hasn't been released yet. | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
Charges of manslaughter and attempted murder will not be pursued | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
against seven men accused of killing Coleraine community worker Kevin | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
McDaid in May 2009. The men pleaded guilty to lesser charges at a | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
hearing in Belfast Crown Court. Five still face trial in relation to the | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
death of Mr McDaid and the attempted murder of his friend and neighbour | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
Damien Fleming. Here's our north-east reporter David Maxwell. | :07:53. | :08:02. | |
Tension was high in Coleraine over flags when Kevin McDaid lost his | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
life. It was reported a loyalist mob arrived in the road where the | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
catholic community worker live. His friend and neighbour Damien Fleming | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
was left critically injured. Until today, no one had been convicted. | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
This morning 12 men appeared in the dock charged with the manslaughter | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
of Kevin McDaid and the attempted murder of his friend Damien Fleming. | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
But one by one, seven of them beaded guilty to lesser charges throughout | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
the day, and prosecutors told the court they no longer wished to | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
pursue them in relation to the most serious offences. | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
I pleading guilty to charges including grievous bodily harm, | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
assault and affray, the seven admitted they were part of the group | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
that descended on the estate. They no longer face trial and will be | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
sentenced at a later date. That is also the case for two other men | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
charged with other offences in relation to this case, including | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
threats to harm and intimidation. They two were released today after | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
beating guilty to some offences. Five men remain accused of killing | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
Kevin McDaid and attempting to kill his friend. | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
This trial is set to get under way. It was to be significant in its | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
size, with 14 defendants and 123 witnesses. It was predicted it would | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
last for six weeks, but with the majority of the defendants now dealt | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
with, it seems unlikely it will last that long. | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
Police officers have been meeting community representatives and | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
councillors to discuss recent hate crimes in Belfast. Last night the | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
home of a Polish mother and son was damaged in the east of the city. | :09:46. | :09:54. | |
Helen Jones reports. Loyalist East Belfast, and another | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
attack on a Polish family. I run half past 11 last night a | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
27-year-old man who lives here look to the sound of breaking glass. He | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
says he saw three hooded men smashed the windscreen of his, before | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
running off. I have been speaking to the man who | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
owns the property, he lives here with his mother. He pays the | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
mortgage and taxes and works in Lisburn. He says he is very scared, | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
he has nowhere else to go because he owns that property. | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
The PSNI held a meeting today to address concerns. Representatives of | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
the Polish community, politicians and other interested parties were | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
there. Many of the companies employing Polish people could not | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
manage without them. They have brought such wonderful skills to our | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
economy and have contributed vastly. It is scandalous what is happening, | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
it must be stopped. These attacks are not helping the | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
image of an area which is trying hard to move out of the shadow of | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
the Troubles. I want it to stop happening. We are trying to create a | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
welcoming community for everybody to live in, to work in and to visit, | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
and it doesn't make that a good place to be. | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
There has been a 70% increase in the number of racially motivated | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
attacks, it is estimated. That meeting is still going on, more | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
at 10:25pm. Still to come before 7:00: Many of | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
the top teams are already here, as the countdown continues to this | :11:35. | :11:42. | |
weekend's Giro d'Italia. Next to our series looking at the | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
economic spin offs from the media industries. This week we see how | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
business and education are reaping the benefit. Children's cartoons are | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
big business and a recent tax incentive is bringing jobs and | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
investment to Londonderry. A television series, fronted by the | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
actor Chris O'Dowd, has linked a small Derry company with a major | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
publishing house. Our arts correspondent Maggie Taggart has | :12:05. | :12:18. | |
more. It is a glorious day. | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
It is all about our little hero, a puffin who lives with her family. It | :12:27. | :12:37. | |
is an island with a mythical status. The puffin story was on its way to | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
production when a publisher spotted at and decided it was up their | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
street. Puffin is their children's imprint, | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
and they saw something which would be iconic for them. | :12:54. | :13:01. | |
They have recruited staff both locally and globally to make the TV | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
series, and it is also linked to a studio in Coke any. The recent | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
introduction of a UK tax break for animation made the camp and the an | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
attractive partner. We utilised cross-border public monies, and at | :13:17. | :13:28. | |
the same time we are able to avail ourselves of tax breaks. | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
Derry's first ever animated TV series is being recorded at the | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
moment, and far from hiding the local accent, it is making a virtue | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
of it. 11-year-old Kate was chosen when the | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
producers visited her primary school. You are all money already! | :13:48. | :13:58. | |
-- Maddie. The director worked with Disney for seven years, and his | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
return to Ireland is typical of the movement of animation creators. | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
We have done the first episode already, and the kids are glued to | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
the screens. I think it would be a huge hit. | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
This is the first show I have worked on where we'd lose -- use real | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
children. Before, on the American shows, we used adults pretending to | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
be kids. They always say, don't work with children's or -- children or | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
animals but I disagree with that. There are now 12 staff and a bright | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
future for the company. And on tomorrow's programme, a | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
Belfast company shows off the skills which can add scary monsters and | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
giant robots to feature films. The DUP has launched its manifesto | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
for the European and Local Government elections, with the party | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
offering change both at home and abroad. But the party leader claims | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
the high number of Unionist candidates standing for Europe could | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
result in a seat being lost to nationalism. Here's our political | :15:00. | :15:11. | |
correspondent Gareth Gordon. I have ensured the interests of Northern | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
Ireland have been pursued and advanced. The Make major claims for | :15:15. | :15:23. | |
Diane's achievements in her first term as in any key for Northern | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
Ireland. They have doubled their efforts to have her return. The | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
party manifestoes beats of changing the UK's relationship with Europe | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
and back a referendum on EU reform. It calls for a reduction in red tape | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
and waste and support a single home for the European Parliament which | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
currently moves between Brussels and Strasbourg. But the party leader | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
said the Unionist vote has been split to many ways. It would be a | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
disaster if there was a result of the letter of Unionist candidate | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
standing at the election that our votes were shredded and unionism | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
lost out on representation in Europe. In the face of only two in | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
nationalist parties Unionism needs a strong party to stand up for | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
Northern Ireland and I encourage the electrics to continue what they | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
started in previous elections and unite behind the DUP. Peter Robinson | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
is confident that Diane Dodds will pop the Unionist Paul. -- Unionist | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
poll. The Alliance party says membership | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
of the European Union allows us to overcome our "small wee country" | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
attitude and turn Northern Ireland into an outward open minded place. | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
Launching their European and local government election manifestos | :16:38. | :16:39. | |
Alliance said consideration should be given for a European Union role | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
in any programme for dealing with the legacy of the Troubles. Here's | :16:43. | :16:57. | |
Our Political Editor Mark Devenport. Alliance hoped their high-profile | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
candidate in law will their vote. The party used to back replacing the | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
pound with the general but after the credit crunch the safety conditions | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
will not be right in the immediate future. That was a long time ago we | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
advocated for the usual but times have changed and we certainly know | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
do not see an immediate prospect for joining the euro. Allows's manifesto | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
opposes any referendum of the UK pulling out of the European Union | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
but said if there is one of the party will campaign to stay in. It | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
says all European funding for Northern Ireland should be proof of | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
its impact in creating a shared future. Alliance wants the cap | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
removed that stops orders of properties worth more than ?400,000 | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
paying the same percentage of rate as other householders. It also wants | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
a single flag flying policy for new council buildings with the union | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
flag flying on designated days. Alliance politicians acknowledge the | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
union flag row in Belfast has been raised on the doorstep of a few | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
waters. -- of the few voters. Now sport, and all this week on BBC | :18:06. | :18:14. | |
Newsline we will bringing you the countdown to the Giro D'Italia which | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
starts this Friday in Belfast. Our reporter Thomas Kane has been | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
sampling the life of a road cyclist for himself. | :18:22. | :18:31. | |
Friday nights team time trial will pass this point on the Newtonards | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
Road twice reaching speeds of. Mph. -- 50 mph. Only one Irish man has | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
won the Giro d'Italia, Stephen Roche. Back in 1987, he was | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
victorious on a bike identical to this. Even long after his retirement | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
from road racing, he is a difficult man to keep up with. He has retired | :18:50. | :19:03. | |
from road racing. -- for many of these club cyclists this was a dream | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
come true to read alongside a man who has won everything in the sport. | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
For me, it was a journey into the unknown. Stephen, I have never | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
travelled this far on a bike in my life. Does hang in. When it goes | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
fast for your own pace. Even though the road looks intimidating just | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
take it at your own time and place and you get there in the end. The | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
important thing is to enjoy it. This was only a small section of the | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
route that the professionals will write during the Giro d'Italia but | :19:37. | :19:43. | |
every incline seems never ending. We are just over halfway there and it | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
is a lot more difficult than we thought it would be simply because | :19:48. | :19:49. | |
the wind seems to be in your face the whole time. The maximum speed we | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
have reached down the hell was about 20 men melt our what was almost | :19:54. | :20:02. | |
uncomfortably fast. As it went on my legs became heavier and every | :20:03. | :20:04. | |
revolution of the pedal was tougher and it felt like the finish line | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
would never come. It did not help that I was with the group of riders | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
that took a wrong turn, adding a few more painstaking miles to the | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
journey. Always find out where you are supposed to go! As the rest of | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
the pack and Stephen had broken away far into the distance I was starting | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
to struggle more and more. There were no records broken but | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
eventually at one time after the majority of the group I arrived at | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
my final destination. You are going quite slowly so you have plenty of | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
time to take in the scenery. But the other riders go faster than you and | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
faster than me but they will be seeing the scenery as they go along. | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
The terrain in the profile of the road is interesting, especially | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
coming along here, the wind will play an important factor. You must | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
be very attentive to what is going on around you. The guys here will be | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
donating and 37p per year, a lot more -- will be covering 37 miles -- | :21:06. | :21:17. | |
57,000 miles per year. . I even look good? Now. Thank you for getting the | :21:18. | :21:25. | |
around. The scenery was beautiful and the weather was beautiful but as | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
a non-cyclist that was one of the toughest things I have ever had to | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
do. I think I have only just recovered from it, I am much more | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
affable in this shirt and tie that I was in the letter. I should have | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
taken orders from Dave, a former international cyclist. Dave, can you | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
believe that the Giro d'Italia is going past your front door? I can't | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
believe it, I can't get my head round it. If people had told me that | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
the Giro d'Italia was coming Belfast that would not have believed it but | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
that they are coming off the new charge road is fantastic. It will be | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
a call list -- it will be a boost for the whole community. How should | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
the sickening thing in the cycling union to build on this? How can | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
Northern Ireland be showcased to the cycling fraternity? There is bound | :22:15. | :22:22. | |
to be something coming from this event and we should get into schools | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
and get cycling as part of sport. To let people know it is not just a | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
rugby and soccer there is cycling, too. Do not forget, there are three | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
Irishmen competing in this. Fellow Dagenham and Nicholas Roach, the son | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
of Stephen Roche. And Dan Martin, those two boys are both cousins. | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
Both have a good chance of getting up in this event which is one of the | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
most prestigious event in the cycling world. Give us an idea what | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
spectators expect. It'll be a whole cavalcade, a lot of fun. The | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
cavalcade of the teams and team riders in the race itself. It will | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
be phenomenal to see riders compete at that speed. Who should be a out | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
for? Adele Evans won the race in Italy so he is up there. Also | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
Nicholas Roach who is the team leader of his squad. That is to | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
people that I think the public year will be shooting for. Thank you very | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
much for joining us. -- will be shouting for. | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
Tomorrow I will be heading to the north coast which is getting ready | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
for cyclist and spectators galore. That is BBC newsline at 6:40pm. I | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
need to know if I should bring a wrinkled. Transfer the pink one but | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
should I bring it? I would say yes and anyone getting | :23:45. | :23:52. | |
ready to watch the Giro d'Italia this weekend get your wrinkles or | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
umbrellas ready because it looks like there will be more rain rather | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
than sunshine. This is the classic picture, it comes lining up to come | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
our way. They have brought some heavy showers and the recent radar | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
picture here at 6am, there is another heavy shower coming from the | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
West that is coming towards Belfast in the next few hours. As the night | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
goes on most showers will become confined to the north coast and west | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
and there will be clear, drier gaps in the East. Overall an unsettled | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
night, mild and breezy and the unsettled weather continues into | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
tomorrow. It might start of dry but overall it will be a fairly cloudy | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
and rainy day. The best chance of some good weather tomorrow will be | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
across eastern counties so maybe when you leave home tomorrow it is | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
dry over County Antrim but it will not be too long for the encounter | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
queen of many parts of down, Armagh, over transfer man and to run out | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
into the worse as well. -- over Fermanagh. There will be a | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
reasonable breeze at times, still quite wet through lunchtime at | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
temperatures down on today, that's 12 or 13 degrees. The rain is | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
showing signs of easing off later in the day so perhaps some dry weather | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
and tomorrow evening. So because it is all about the Giro d'Italia this | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
week we must keep the pink weather pictures going. This tractor spotted | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
but I cannot promise the blue sky to go with it. We will keep a lot of | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
cloud fairly brisk winds and further areas of rain or showers. The next | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
area of low pressure which I am concerned about is coming our way on | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
Saturday. Sitting rate over the top of those on Saturday and clearing | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
away to give quite blustery winds on Sunday. That will mean a kill and | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
for the cyclist on Sunday. -- that will mean a tailwind. The weather | :25:46. | :25:53. | |
will make great a difference for the spectators and cyclist, but there is | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
a chance the rain will not reach the North Coast. | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
Our main stories, the chief constable has rejected Sinn Fein's | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
claims that the arrest of Gerry Adams was the work of the dark side | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
in the breeze. And Boston College has said it will return interviews | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
by former paramilitaries about their roles in the Troubles. The late | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
summer is at 1025 year on BBC One. You can keep in touch with us on | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
Facebook and Twitter. I will see you at 10:25pm. | :26:25. | :26:29. |
