Good evening and welcome to BBC Newsline.

:00:00.:00:07.

Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness has called on dissident republicans

:00:08.:00:09.

to do what the IRA did and call a ceasefire.

:00:10.:00:12.

to mark the 20th anniversary of the truce,

:00:13.:00:16.

Mr McGuinness said dialogue was the way forward.

:00:17.:00:19.

There was a mood of celebration as Republicans gathered to mark the

:00:20.:00:33.

anniversary of the IRA cease-fire, exactly 20 years after it was

:00:34.:00:43.

called. Back then, Republicans also celebrated and although the truce

:00:44.:00:47.

broke down, it was a landmark moment in the peace process. Martin

:00:48.:00:50.

McGuinness said that peace was the only way forward and he called on

:00:51.:00:57.

all Republican groups to do what the IRA did and put down their arms. I

:00:58.:01:09.

would urge them to take the same step and walk away from conflict.

:01:10.:01:13.

There can be no return to the violence and repression that scared

:01:14.:01:19.

the Society for far too long. He was speaking at a Sinn Fein event in

:01:20.:01:24.

Londonderry. It is a city with pockets of support for dissident

:01:25.:01:32.

republican goals was to not everyone supports the approach. You made it

:01:33.:01:40.

clear that you speak on behalf of armed groups was not given have any

:01:41.:01:44.

intention of calling a cease-fire? I doubt it free much. If they looked

:01:45.:01:50.

at the provisional movement and where that process has taken that, I

:01:51.:01:55.

think they can see nothing in the River Thames -- nothing in that

:01:56.:02:01.

movement that will achieve our objectives, so I see nothing there.

:02:02.:02:09.

After morning mass, parishioners were affected on the cease-fire. We

:02:10.:02:19.

have lived the whole Troubles and it has... The difference has been

:02:20.:02:23.

amazing. There is no need for violence. Nobody needs to die and

:02:24.:02:31.

people need to be understood, by the people who do not support peace,

:02:32.:02:35.

what it is that anyone. That needs to be understood. For many, the

:02:36.:02:43.

anniversary is a chance to look back as well as forward. So much has

:02:44.:02:46.

changed in the last 20 years and not just in terms of politics. But

:02:47.:02:51.

politicians on all sides agreed there is a long way to go.

:02:52.:02:56.

A man in his 20s is being treated in hospital

:02:57.:02:59.

after he was shot in the legs in West Belfast.

:03:00.:03:01.

A number of shots were fired in an alleyway in Rosnareen Park

:03:02.:03:04.

off the Shaws Road at around 8pm last night.

:03:05.:03:06.

The man's injuries aren't believed to be life threatening.

:03:07.:03:12.

This was not something that was justifiable 20 years ago. Today, the

:03:13.:03:24.

community do not want this. It is not the way to do with criminality.

:03:25.:03:31.

A pensioner in her 80s has been treated for a broken shoulder

:03:32.:03:33.

after she was assaulted and robbed in Belfast city centre.

:03:34.:03:36.

It happened in Upper Queen Street at around 2pm yesterday afternoon.

:03:37.:03:39.

The woman was pushed over by a man who stole her handbag and ran away.

:03:40.:03:42.

A 22-year-old man has been charged with robbery and assault

:03:43.:03:44.

Sport and Donegal have caused a huge upset by beating favourites Dublin

:03:45.:03:50.

in this afternoon's All-Ireland football semifinal at Croke park.

:03:51.:03:53.

There were jubilant scenes at the final whistle as the Ulster

:03:54.:04:06.

champions produced a huge shock with a conference of victory over Dublin.

:04:07.:04:13.

It was the Leinster champions who dominated in the early stages. They

:04:14.:04:24.

were three points up at the start. The underdogs had a 1-point lead at

:04:25.:04:39.

half-time. Donegal were in dreamland when they got: The three, giving

:04:40.:04:45.

them an 8-point lead. There was to be no coming back for the holders,

:04:46.:04:51.

who lost their composure is. They put a lot of chances wide in the

:04:52.:04:56.

closing moments of the game. They played really clever and we are

:04:57.:05:00.

delighted with that. It is all played really clever and we are

:05:01.:05:05.

nothing if we cannot get over the line. We need to refocus and

:05:06.:05:06.

prepare. The rejuvenated Ulster line. We need to refocus and

:05:07.:05:12.

champions go on to play Kerry in three weeks.

:05:13.:05:24.

at the World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam.

:05:25.:05:25.

The brothers were part of the Great Britain lightweight four team.

:05:26.:05:29.

We were thinking about winning the whole way. We

:05:30.:05:48.

We were thinking about winning the hang on to what we had. I'm pleased

:05:49.:05:51.

with how we went about it, coming third.

:05:52.:05:57.

today's Northern Ireland Open tournament in Ballymena.

:05:58.:06:00.

He led by six shots going into the final round

:06:01.:06:06.

he needed to hole this birdie putt on the 18th green

:06:07.:06:08.

Now onto the weather forecast and here's Barra Best.

:06:09.:06:18.

We have a weak weather front pushing across all places. It will bring

:06:19.:06:23.

some damp and drizzly weather as you go through this evening. Most of it

:06:24.:06:26.

will clear as we go through the night. Some humid air behind that

:06:27.:06:32.

Sosa mist and fog is night. Images fall to between ten and 11 degrees.

:06:33.:06:37.

Tomorrow, a better picture. It will be dry and bright and they'll be

:06:38.:06:40.

some spells of sunshine to enjoy as well. There will be a fair out of

:06:41.:06:44.

cloud but it won't take long before that breaks up to allow the sun to

:06:45.:06:49.

come out. The weather front we had today bringing unsettled weather

:06:50.:06:52.

will continue to do so across many parts of England but there will be

:06:53.:06:56.

dry spells in between and they will write not nicely once that begins to

:06:57.:06:59.

clear eastwards. Across Ireland tomorrow, although there will be

:07:00.:07:03.

variable amounts of cloud, there will be decent spells of sunshine.

:07:04.:07:08.

Not bad for getting out and about. In Northern Ireland, where we get

:07:09.:07:11.

the best of the sunshine, temperatures will reach 19 or 20

:07:12.:07:15.

Celsius. Where we hold on to the cloud, between 17 and 18. Not bad

:07:16.:07:19.

for the time of year. The winds will be like. Into Tuesday, little will

:07:20.:07:27.

change. No rain in the forecast for Tuesday. There will be a fair amount

:07:28.:07:30.

of cloud around but I tomorrow -- but like tomorrow, a fair out of

:07:31.:07:38.

sunshine. Judges could reach 20 degrees, round average for the time

:07:39.:07:41.

of years. Looking towards the rest of the week, virtually no rain in

:07:42.:07:45.

the forecast. It could be warmer again on Wednesday and Thursday.

:07:46.:07:49.

Goodbye.

:07:50.:07:52.
