Good evening. There's been an arson attack on a | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
church in County Antrim. Intruders broke into Whiteabbey Methodist | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Church and started a fire around 11:00pm last night. Claire Savage | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
reports. According to members of the | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
congregation, arsonist smashed glass in the front door of the church and | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
climbed through. They made their way into a new part of the building and | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
tried to start three fires. The kitchen in the extension was gutted, | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
but fire crews were able to stop the blaze from spreading. The front door | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
was smashed. I would say it is young people. They were out for a night | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
trying to cause some excitement. The whole church could have caught fire. | :00:51. | :00:58. | |
It is old. There are wooden pews. If it had not been caught, it could | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
have burned to the ground. A special service for children could not take | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
place because of the fire and instead, the Presbyterian Church | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
allowed the congregation to use their halls. Police say the exact | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
cause of the fire has still to be established and want anyone who may | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
have witnessed something to contact them. | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
Two motorbike racers remain critically ill in hospital after | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
crashing during the North West 200. English rider, Simon Andrews, who is | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
29, came off close to the Metropole section of the circuit yesterday. | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
He's being treated at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast, along | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
with French rider, Franck Petricola, who was hurt in a crash on Tuesday. | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
The Church of Ireland Bishop of Cork has backed calls for civil marriage | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
for same sex couples. Dr Paul Colton's intervention was welcomed | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
by a church group which held a service this afternoon to mark | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
'International Day against Homophobia'. | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
We agree with what he said and we are delighted to hear it said so | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
publicly and openly. He has a track record of having being sympathetic | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
to gays in the church and he has come out of very strongly in favour | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
of the church having some input into gay partnerships and gay marriages, | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
equal marriage who prefer to call it. | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
In sport, the first game of this year's GAA Ulster Championship has | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
gone to a replay. Tyrone had to rely on captain, Sean Cavanagh to save | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
them with a last-gasp free. A strong second half performance from Down | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
saw them overturn a seven-point deficit with goals from Donal O'Hare | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
and Conor Maginn to go into the closing minutes two points ahead. | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
Tyrone dominated the game for a considerable period but had to call | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
on Sean Cavanagh to save it with two frees, the second coming at the end | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
of added time. The changes they made at half-time | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
gave them a bit of control around the middle of the field they did not | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
have in the first half. Their substitutions worked well. It is not | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
good for us to be seven up and lose it as much as that. We're very lucky | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
to be in this game. When the goal went in, it you were fearing the | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
worst of the fact they showed character and got the goal back | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
straightaway. It puts a bit of doubt into their head. Now a look ahead to | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
a series of special reports on BBC Newsline this week. Have you ever | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
considered what it would be like to be homeless? Our reporter, Andy | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
West, has spent four nights living on the streets of Belfast to find | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
out what life's like when you've hit rock bottom. What help is there and | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
how do people react to you? I have just had a girl get very aggressive | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
and was asking me if I was foreign. And then started trying to kick me | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
in the face with her stiletto. You can see the first of Andy's reports | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
on Tuesday here on BBC Newsline. Now the weather. | :04:09. | :04:17. | |
It ended up a dismal Sunday for parts of Northern Ireland. Hopefully | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
as we go through the rest of the week it won't be as dismal. But | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
there will be showers around and they could be heavy. Equally, dry | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
and bright spells and during the course of the week it could feel | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
warm. Tonight, the spells of rain which pushed east will be returning | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
west as we go through the night. A damp night but not cold, with | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
temperatures no lower than six or seven degrees. Eventually tomorrow I | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
think we will see something that are developing. Turning drier as we had | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
through the day. But it is a dismal start. Spells of rain in the West. | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
They will clear but showery rain to follow in the morning. It is similar | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
for the Republic of Ireland. A lot of cloud with outbreaks of rain. A | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
few of those in the far south-west. But for the rest of Britain it is | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
looking like a decent day. Perhaps a bit more cloud than today. Again it | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
is very warm. Temperatures of 24, maybe 25 degrees towards the | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
south-east. For Northern Ireland things do improve in the afternoon. | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
It should be drier and I think it will be brighter for a time in the | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
at the noon. We should see temperatures may be 15 or 16 degrees | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
before showers creep into the evening. Through the middle part of | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
the week, it is a mess. Low pressure to the south-west dominating things | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
with showers swinging around. The uncertainty is when and where they | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
will show up. It looks like Tuesday in parts of Northern Ireland and | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
Scotland may be not too bad. Elsewhere across the southern half | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
of Britain it does look showery. Into Wednesday, a mixture of bright | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
spells and showers, may be more persistent rain in the North and | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
thundery showers moving into the south. On Thursday but Northern | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
Ireland, hopefully bright and sunny spells but showers never too far | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
away. Our next wallet and is at 6:25am. | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
Until then you can keep up today with local news on radio Ulster or | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
online. But from us tonight, | :06:32. | :06:32. |
