The enterprise minister Arelene Foster has described a petrol bomb | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
attack on the home of a man working for a shale gas exploration company | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
in County Fermanagh as a disgraceful and cowardly act. | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
Two petrol bombs were thrown at the house in Letterbreen | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Our South West reporter Julian Fowler reports. | :00:21. | :00:45. | |
Two weeks ago, they began to secure this quarry where it wants to drill | :00:46. | :01:01. | |
a borehole as part of its exploration licence. Yesterday | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
morning, two petrol bombs were thrown at the home of one of the | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
site workers. The company says it follows a number of unlawful | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
incidents and threats to security staff. Hundreds of people have been | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
involved in peaceful protests outside the gates. Local campaigners | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
have condemned the attack. From our point of view we went to diss | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
associate ourselves with this. We have a code of conduct which is | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
non-negotiable. The environment minister has seven more days to | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
decide if the borehole to collect rock samples can go ahead. It will | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
not involve fracking. There have been a lot of very misleading | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
statements made recently, some very ignorant statements made and I hope | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
that people recognise that this is not just a matter for me or indeed | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
for the Minister of environment, it is a matter for the entire | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
Executive. We need people to come together. People in the West need to | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
fight fracking. We need to ensure the protests are kept peaceful. We | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
must protest in a way which does not impact on anybody's health and | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
safety. The police are investigating the attack. They want to speak to | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
the driver of a dark coloured Audi estate car seen in the road at the | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
time. Specially trained victim recovery | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
dogs are being used in a fresh search for | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
a murdered teenager in Portadown. Caroline Graham went missing | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
in the town 25 years ago. The police have launched a new | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
search at a house in Hanover Street where the 19-year-old was living | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
when she disappeared in March 1989. Whoever is responsible for this | :02:15. | :02:28. | |
crime, whoever they are, I believe they may have discussed this over | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
the past 25 years. If that is the case, and you have information, I am | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
appealing directly to you to provide that information to my Ent enquiry | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
team. A 31-year-old man has been arrested | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
after a series of hate crimes Paint was thrown over a car and | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
another vehicle had its windscreen One of the cars belonged to a Polish | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
family and the police believe A short time later another | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
windscreen was smashed Enquiries | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
into the attacks are continuing. As part of the commemorative events | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
is a candlelit vigil at A poignant and sombre service in | :03:06. | :03:29. | |
honour of the war dead. Dignitaries, politicians and others came to | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
remember the beginning of the great War. The Queen was represented this | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
evening by the Duke of York. Also there, the Secretary of State, Irish | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
Minister Heather Humphreys and the First Minister. We're here to mark | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
the centenary of the beginning of the First World War. This we | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
penitence and faith, contemplating the sacrifices that 100 years ago | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
were about to be made. When people also remembered those who gave their | :04:00. | :04:31. | |
lives, lighting a candle for every one of the five years of war. And | :04:32. | :04:55. | |
the candle lit by Prince Andrew was placed beside one of the eight | :04:56. | :05:15. | |
volumes of books kept in the cathedral which record the names of | :05:16. | :05:35. | |
all those from across the island of Ireland who fought and died. I | :05:36. | :05:50. | |
thought it was great that we had Mr Humphries from the Republic of | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
Ireland taking part. Looking at these centenary is with a spirit of | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
historical accuracy, inclusivity under consideration and help | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
everyone move forward. There are lessons for this day and this | :06:05. | :06:14. | |
generation. We see where business and division Leeds. It leads to | :06:15. | :06:24. | |
conflict, death and injury. What is spelt out and meet is, what unites | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
human beings is huge and wonderful. What divides human beings is small | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
and mean. That sentence has come from the artist who was commissioned | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
to do this. Bob, what is that sentence? What does it mean? It is | :06:39. | :06:52. | |
inspired by the famous football match on Christmas Day which is a | :06:53. | :07:06. | |
cliche but is actually true. It's not an apocryphal story. The Germans | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
did engage in a football match with the British Christmas Day. The | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
obvious thing about that powerful is that there were the same kinds of | :07:13. | :07:13. | |
people fighting that playing on both sides. It is about saying for | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
today's society, we need a new peace movement. It looks special. During | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
the day, we had a chance look at the artwork in daylight. I know this was | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
carried out by various community groups. What did you think of the | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
way they carried your work? Enormously proud of it because we | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
had different groups from all across Belfast, a city which knows about | :07:32. | :07:45. | |
division. You had all these different groups and they have all | :07:46. | :08:06. | |
come together to make this which is a statement about peace. It has been | :08:07. | :08:14. | |
a moving experience. We had lesbian and gay groups. We had a group | :08:15. | :08:15. | |
called arts sector. It has been great doing it. You can see it | :08:16. | :08:15. | |
tonight but unfortunately, that is the last opportunity because it will | :08:16. | :08:16. | |
be packed up by midnight and it will be away tomorrow. Just to say at the | :08:17. | :08:17. | |
last minute, between ten o'clock and 11 o'clock, people have been asked | :08:18. | :08:18. | |
to turn out the light and have a single candle to remember people who | :08:19. | :08:18. | |
died in the war. Torrential rain over the weekend | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
caused landslides in County Antrim, as around fifty millimetres | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
of rain fell in just a few hours. The downpours brought havoc to | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
farmers, as Louise Cullen reports. Friends, family and fans gathered | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
at the Queen's Pavilion this evening to welcome Northern Ireland | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
athletes back home after On Saturday, we were coming back | :08:33. | :08:55. | |
from seeing a friend and we looked up. This ground looked funny. My | :08:56. | :09:06. | |
friend said there is a landslide. As we walked up, it was dramatic | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
watching half the mountain slide down with the force of the water. It | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
was the first time people here had seen anything like it. My father | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
says he has never seen anything like it. They were clumps of clay the | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
size of cars moving. It is amazing to see. Work is underway to get the | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
road cleared and open to traffic again but this is a rural area. They | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
were not any properties under threat but it was a different story in one | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
of the other glands. The rain also caused for landslides in these | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
mountains. They crashed down the slopes, bringing stones, trees and | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
destruction to this farm and guesthouse. The stream has broken | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
out and I ran out thinking I would need to put a stone to stop the flow | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
of water and then within ten minutes, I could see several hundred | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
tonnes of rocks coming right down through the farmyard. The mud is up | :10:07. | :10:14. | |
to the back door. With the clean-up under way at the sun shining, the | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
suddenness of Saturday's landslips seems a distant memory. People here | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
The boxing team excelled with nine medals in all. | :10:22. | :10:35. | |
BBC Newsline has followed the competitors every step of the | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
way and Nigel Ringland was there for the final leg of the journey today. | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
Captaining the Northern Ireland team home, Paddy Barnes and Michael | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
Collin at the controls, as they returned from Glasgow after most | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
successful games since 1986. Daniela Hill competed in her first | :10:55. | :11:23. | |
games. She is looking forward to four years time. I am very excited. | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
I cannot wait. There's lots of training to going to be the best and | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
to get the final stages and hopefully medal finishes. For these | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
bowlers, it was their fifth and final games. Both returned with | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
medals, proud to have represented Northern Ireland for so long. We | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
watched the finals day and it was a fantastic atmosphere. It is good for | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
sport in Northern Ireland. When you walk into that stadium for a opening | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
ceremony, you are effort told. An amazing experience. It was the | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
boxers who stole the headlines with nine medals. Some great athletes | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
here. World class. They just need a little bit of funding and they can | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
all step up to the plate. That is what comes down to. Believe you me, | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
every athlete on the team did their best. I didn't see anybody lying | :12:18. | :12:25. | |
about. Everybody did their best. From Northern Ireland, there will be | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
many memorable moments from northern dash from Glasgow to look back on. | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
Here's Barra Best with a look at what the weather has in store. | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
Thankfully we lost the weekend's rain. Most of us enjoyed a fine day. | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
The distilled fine across many areas at the moment but through the night, | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
there will be the odd spot of rain coming in from the south. But it | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
will be a mild sniper temperatures between 12 and 14 degrees. Tomorrow, | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
we do have a fair amount of dry weather on the cards. Bright as well | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
at times but also a scattering of showers. Some of those showers will | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
be heavy. The Met office has issued a weather warning. There is the | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
potential force some thundery downpours. We could see flooding as | :13:11. | :13:19. | |
a result. Something to bear in mind. To begin with, a fair amount of dry | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
weather. Some wet weather around the post. As we make our way into the | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
afternoon, we begin to see those scattered showers beginning to pep | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
up and some of those will be heavy, stretching down the east coast of | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
Ireland and further inland during the day. Much of Britain will get | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
off to a good, bright start. In the afternoon, the best of the sunshine | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
across eastern areas. Further west, cloudy with some scattered showers. | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
Temperatures in the south-east up to 24 degrees. Cooler and fresher | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
further north. For Northern Ireland, there will be a few showers | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
aren't there. Some of them will be heavy. They will be well spaced | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
out. Not everyone will get one but if you do, you probably will know | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
about it. Temperatures of 19 or 20 degrees with fairly light wind. It | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
is an improving picture as we make through the day on Wednesday. | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
Temperatures up to 20 degrees. More unsettled as we head towards the end | :14:15. | :14:15. | |
of the week. You can keep up to date with | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
