First look at the morning papers on the BBC News Channel in just is a

few minutes too. The police have described

a gun attack on one of their patrols in Londonderry

as a completely reckless act. Two shots were fired

at the driver's side The attack happened in the Bogside

in the early hours of yesterday morning, but details

only emerged this afternoon. Dissident republicans

are being blamed. Here's our North-West reporter,

Keiron Tourish. The police say the three officers

targeted were in a four-by-four vehicle and on a routine patrol

when two shots were fired at them. The shots hit the driver's window

as they were passing this junction The officers suspected something had

struck the silver-coloured vehicle, similiar to this one

which was filmed during a recent security alert,

and immediately returned to base. Firing shots in any built-up area is

a mindless and reckless act, The accuracy of anyone using a gun

is simply in the lap of the gods. If they missed, we could have had

anyone hit, a passing vehicle or a pedestrian or a house hit, and I

would condemn the mindless actions Politicians were scathing

in their condemnation. The people who carried out this

attack have no regard for their community, or for

the future we are trying to build. They have no place in today's

society. I think the people of Londonderry are sick and tired of

these types of incidents and putting people 's lives at risk, especially

those who are out trying to protect communities.

The focus for Star Wars fans was back

on the County Kerry coast today. Scenes for the new Stars Wars movie

are being filmed on Skerrig Michael Island amidst tight security.

We sent our reporter Andy West to the nearby

fishing village of Portmagee to see what he could find out.

Straining to get a view of a set far, far away, but an Irish Navy

ship patrolling Skellig Michael is making sure no-one can get closer.

In 1977 I was six years old, so I had the pyjamas

and a lunchbox and everything Star Wars, so it is a big thing.

It is misty today, although it looks good, but I see

--, you can't look really good. No, I cannot see any people.

On the right? Why didn't you tell me?

Down at the harbour in Portmagee on the mainland,

the crew have been shifting mysterious boxes and gadgets onto

boats to be taken to the set. Security is tight.

I'm from the BBC, we want a sneaky peak at the film.

Any chance I can get on one of the boats?

Word in Portmagee is that Mark Hamill, the original Luke Skywalker,

Everything was kept tight-lipped but the cat is out of the bag,

No-one knew about it until it came around, so we are

Let's go to Stephen Watson with the latest on the local

What an incredible 24 hours for our boxing team.

They now have an amazing nine guaranteed medals,

their most successful haul at a Commonwealth Games.

We now have nine big semifinals to look forward to on Friday.

The success in the ring takes the overall tally of medals for Team NI

to 11 after all six of the fighters in action today won their bouts.

The captain of the Northern Ireland's boxing room looked as if

he meant business when he entered the ring tonight. And Paddy Barnes

did not disappoint. What a right hand. The Belfast light flyweight

was an emphatic winner, almost stopping his opponent in round two.

Before finishing the job of in the next. -- finishing the job off. He

is in Glasgow for just one thing. Bronze medals are only a token of

appreciation, but you look back at a bronze medal and say, I got a bronze

medal, a gold is what we are talking about. Welterweight Stephen Donnelly

is also on the hunt for gold and produced a gutsy performance to win

a semifinal spot after a brilliant win over his highly right Canadian

opponent. -- highly ranked. He is small and stocky and he's been to

the Olympic games, he was small and stocky and he's been to

favourite for gold here, so I always knew I had the talent to beat him.

At middleweight, Conor Coyle rounded off a memorable night, making it

medal number nine for the boxing team. Earlier today, Michael Conlan

celebrated a comfortable victory. Before Michaela Walsh created by bit

of boxing history. As a medallist, the first one. I believe I can go

all the way. I perform to the best of my ability and just listen to my

coaches. Alana Audley became -- Alanna Audley-Murphy became Northern

Ireland's 50th medallist at the games. Now it has finally come, I

just need to keep up the work and perform well. I have the first one

over so I am looking forward to Friday. Boxers helping make this the

most successful games ever 14 NI, and there could be more to come. --

for team NI. Northern Ireland's netballers said a trail for the rest

of the games. It was intense. We always knew it would be a tough

game. Scotland were at the world qualifier so we knew it would be a

tough one. In gymnastics, Nicole Moore Winnie was competing in the

all-round individual final. She acquitted herself admirably in

world-class company. Hugh McCloskey also making his games debut, just

missed out on a bronze medal, losing to his New Zealand opponent. I am

one of the younger lads in the heavyweight category, so just hoping

for the future, I will go away, train hard and try to come back. And

on the track, TD Kirk was second in her heat to reach tomorrow's

semifinals of the 800 metres. Away from the games,

the Dale Farm Milk Cup is taking During tonight's 2-1 win

at the Coleraine Showgrounds between Northern Ireland and Mexico,

there were ugly scenes which resulted in three players,

two from Mexico and Robbie McDaid The game was stopped for over five

minutes after a brawl in the penalty Both countries can probably

expect further repercussions. Meanwhile, in the Brandywell,

Manchester United and CSKA Moscow Northern Ireland's youth manager

Stephen Creggan said tonight he was disgusted by those scenes at the

Coleraine Showground. Thank you, now here is the weather.

Coleraine Showground. Thank you, now here is the weather. We are

expecting some lively showers during Thursday. There are not too many

showers at the moment but they will become frequent from the west,

especially towards DN of the night, and there could be thundery

downpours across the west and north coast. Lewis temperatures across

Southdown with clear spells and temperatures dropping to 12 degrees.

Tomorrow expect heavy showers, not through the day and all the time but

there will be a risk of a downpour anywhere, especially through the

morning and into the early afternoon, but there will still be

gaps and the south-east should still catch a little bit of sunshine. That

risk of thundery showers spread south across the Republic of Ireland

and there will be a line of intense thunderstorms over Northern England,

Wales and the Midlands, which will slowly edge south but not arrive in

south-east England until late in the day. In Scotland, the north is

cooler and fresher, some showers but not as heavy. The heaviest downpours

will edge away from our east coast around the middle of the afternoon,

so an improvement towards evening with sunshine and temperatures

recovering. Friday will see showers but also some decent sunny breaks,

especially in the morning and across eastern areas. The showers
