It's goodbye from me, and on BBC One we now join the BBC's

:00:00.:00:12.

Good evening. On BBC Newsline this evening:

:00:13.:00:18.

A major reshuffle in the DUP's senior men at Stormont.

:00:19.:00:23.

Out goes Health Minister Edwin Poots.

:00:24.:00:25.

Also out is Nelson McCausland, the Social Development Minister.

:00:26.:00:31.

This is how the DUP team will look, a picture taken this afternoon.

:00:32.:00:38.

Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster and Finance Minister Simon Hamilton

:00:39.:00:41.

Let's blow to Stormont and Mark Devenport. It has been a dramatic

:00:42.:01:01.

few hours. -- let's go. When was the first hint of a reshuffle? About the

:01:02.:01:07.

middle of the afternoon when local reporters noticed some activity in

:01:08.:01:11.

the great Hall, some senior DUP figures were being summoned in the

:01:12.:01:19.

direction of the Minister's office. Civil servants had phones clamped to

:01:20.:01:22.

their ears and it was evident something was afoot. This being the

:01:23.:01:27.

new age of social media, it was on Twitter that the First Minister

:01:28.:01:31.

confirmed he was engaged in a major reshuffle, and it was via Twitter he

:01:32.:01:36.

started sending out photos of himself, his new ministers, Nelson

:01:37.:01:41.

McCausland being replaced by Mervyn Storey, and Edwin Poots giving way

:01:42.:01:46.

to Jim Wells. Then a series of other announcements in relation to

:01:47.:01:51.

committee chairs. What has Peter Robinson been saying? He came out to

:01:52.:01:56.

confirm these moves within the last hour. He said the moves were no

:01:57.:02:00.

criticism of any of the outgoing ministers, he would have happily

:02:01.:02:04.

reappointed them to senior jobs, but in the way of politics, he felt the

:02:05.:02:08.

time was right to refresh his team. I think one would see this as

:02:09.:02:13.

potentially stamping his authority on the party. We have heard that

:02:14.:02:19.

some of them have been questioning his leadership, instead Mr Robinson

:02:20.:02:23.

said when he talked to us when in the last hour that he is going

:02:24.:02:28.

nowhere. This is a party that is not about one person. When I started, I

:02:29.:02:38.

talked to my party officers and they had been aware I was going to make

:02:39.:02:44.

changes. I have spoken to date with the party Chairman Andy Deputy

:02:45.:02:48.

Leader. We act as a party, we have always had that of relationship.

:02:49.:02:55.

There was no bitterness in the people who were standing down, they

:02:56.:02:59.

recognised the need to continue to churn things around to get the best

:03:00.:03:03.

out of the team. So, I am here and I will continue to be here for as long

:03:04.:03:09.

as the party want me to be here. Later we will have more on the

:03:10.:03:12.

reshuffle and we will hear from Mervyn Storey, the new Social

:03:13.:03:14.

Development Minister. The health Department has also been

:03:15.:03:31.

the most controversial in recent months over its budget. This

:03:32.:03:37.

decision to replace Edwin Poots with Jim Wells will therefore be under

:03:38.:03:41.

close scrutiny. We look at the man taking the job and the man he is

:03:42.:03:43.

replacing. Edwin Poots has previously been

:03:44.:03:50.

Minister for culture and for the environment. But, the three years he

:03:51.:03:53.

has held arguably the biggest and most challenging of portfolios, as

:03:54.:03:57.

Health Minister, he presided over difficult times. It included a night

:03:58.:04:04.

last January when the Royal Victoria Hospital declared a major incident

:04:05.:04:09.

due to a backlog of patients. He has also crossed swords with Northern

:04:10.:04:16.

Ireland's most senior judge. Their public exchanges centring on the

:04:17.:04:19.

decision by Mr Coutts to continue a ban on gay men giving blood here.

:04:20.:04:27.

With Debbie a circling of the wagons? I would be concerned that

:04:28.:04:32.

this may not be the case. More recently, he said that heart

:04:33.:04:38.

apartment faces a shortfall of ?140 million despite being spared the

:04:39.:04:41.

worst of recent cuts, he said there would not be enough to maintain so

:04:42.:04:46.

-- safe health services. Coming into the job is the new Minister of

:04:47.:04:51.

health, Jim Wells. It is a job he had been tipped for in the past. I

:04:52.:04:58.

have been vice chair for five years so I know what is going on behind

:04:59.:05:02.

the scenes and I know it is a difficult task. I am under no

:05:03.:05:08.

illusion as to the problems. Tonight, Mr Wells has sent Mr puts

:05:09.:05:12.

his best wishes in what he calls a hugely challenging but rewarding

:05:13.:05:15.

job. The other Minister to lose his job

:05:16.:05:19.

in the reshuffle is Nelson McCausland, who is being replaced by

:05:20.:05:26.

Mervyn Storey. Mr McAusland has come under pressure over the awarding of

:05:27.:05:31.

Housing Executive contracts. He has repeatedly denied any suggestion

:05:32.:05:34.

that he had misled and Assembly committee.

:05:35.:05:41.

Nelson McCausland was appointed as Minister for social development in

:05:42.:05:45.

2011. He quickly became one of the most controversial ministers. Over

:05:46.:05:51.

the course of his three and a half years, he had numerous run-ins with

:05:52.:05:57.

other MLAs on social development. Committee members question him

:05:58.:06:01.

following a BBC Spotlight investigation into the allocation of

:06:02.:06:05.

Housing Executive maintenance contracts to specific -- to a

:06:06.:06:11.

specific company. Then came revelations he had met with an

:06:12.:06:16.

alleged DUP donor company. Mr McAusland had insisted he had met

:06:17.:06:20.

with the Glass and glazing Federation, but that meeting had

:06:21.:06:27.

been with a difficult company. In the light of recent documents

:06:28.:06:33.

discovered, I had knowledge I inadvertently misinformed the

:06:34.:06:36.

committee in this letter. But let me assure you that this was not in any

:06:37.:06:43.

way delivering. The committee concluded he had misled it.

:06:44.:06:46.

Something Mr McAusland strenuously denied. This is the man who is

:06:47.:06:52.

replacing him, Mervyn Storey, elected to the SM from North Antrim,

:06:53.:06:58.

he has been Chairman of the education committee since 2011. As

:06:59.:07:04.

well as sitting on the committee on standards and privileges. Among the

:07:05.:07:11.

responsibilities he will have our housing, social security benefits,

:07:12.:07:14.

patients, child support and urban regeneration.

:07:15.:07:19.

One of the issues Edwin Poots had to deal with during his three years as

:07:20.:07:23.

Health Minister was the future of children's cardiac surgery in

:07:24.:07:29.

Belfast. The latest on that is an international team has recommended

:07:30.:07:34.

the surgery should move to Dublin. Our health correspondent is at the

:07:35.:07:39.

Royal Victoria Hospital. Good evening. I am here at the Royal

:07:40.:07:42.

Victoria Hospital, where the children's cardiac service is based,

:07:43.:07:47.

and hundreds of families across Northern Ireland have been following

:07:48.:07:52.

this story extremely closely for almost three years. This afternoon,

:07:53.:07:58.

there was another development will stop -- development A star --

:07:59.:08:05.

development. . It seems the fight has been lost. Over two years, they

:08:06.:08:10.

took to the streets with one clear message, children's heart services

:08:11.:08:12.

should be retained the Royal Victoria Hospital. But during a

:08:13.:08:21.

semi-Mac questions, Edwin Poots delivered this blow. -- during

:08:22.:08:29.

Assembly questions. The overall model for delivering children and

:08:30.:08:37.

adult heart services in Ireland would not allow Belfast to sustain

:08:38.:08:44.

surgery at that site. Families and the surgical team have been in limbo

:08:45.:08:49.

ever since a review in 2012 concluded that while safe, the unit

:08:50.:08:54.

at Belfast is not sustainable, partly due to too few operations

:08:55.:08:59.

being performed. A separate local review and consultation recommended

:09:00.:09:03.

the service be moved to Dublin, and the surgical model was favoured by

:09:04.:09:10.

ministers. This is not the news that local families will have wanted to

:09:11.:09:15.

hear. It now means that three separate reviews have recommended

:09:16.:09:21.

that Belfast as a paediatric cardiac surgical centre is not realistic.

:09:22.:09:24.

The health minister says he remains hopeful that surgery will transfer

:09:25.:09:31.

to Dublin. I am optimistic that we retain the excellence of the

:09:32.:09:35.

cardiology service in Belfast, and that if we move, we will move it to

:09:36.:09:43.

the same landmass as ourselves. Dublin, essentially. A local charity

:09:44.:09:48.

says parents deserve more clarity. It is frustrating, we have been

:09:49.:09:51.

involved in this process for three years and it does feel that there

:09:52.:09:55.

are some more questions and answers. What is good to happen, how will it

:09:56.:10:00.

happen? Dublin did not have capacity to take children's heart services

:10:01.:10:04.

from Belfast. What kind of timeline are they planning? How will that

:10:05.:10:08.

impact on the service for our children and families? Parents will

:10:09.:10:14.

be disappointed but should be encouraged that two years ago, all

:10:15.:10:19.

surgery was moving to England. Edwin Poots has now been replaced by Jim

:10:20.:10:23.

Wells, how do you see that appointment? It is change, but

:10:24.:10:32.

change in name only. When you think of some of the most contentious and

:10:33.:10:36.

emotive issues that Edwin Poots has had to deal with, some of those

:10:37.:10:40.

decisions which ended up in the High Court, including blood been donated

:10:41.:10:44.

by men in the gay community and abortion, it must be said that Jim

:10:45.:10:50.

Wells has equally entrenched views. I have been in contact with the

:10:51.:10:55.

former Health Minister, who says some very big decision have now been

:10:56.:11:01.

taken from him and passed on to what he has described as his very good

:11:02.:11:03.

friend, Jim Wells. A man has been jailed for 18 years

:11:04.:11:07.

for raping a woman after beating Darius Porcikas, with an address at

:11:08.:11:10.

Upper Edward Street in Newry, was one of two men

:11:11.:11:13.

charged with a range of offences You may find some of the detail

:11:14.:11:17.

in our next report upsetting. It's from Gordon Adair at

:11:18.:11:24.

Craigavon Crown Court. It was in this Lurgan housing estate

:11:25.:11:37.

in the early hours of July the 13th of 11 that the victim's ordeal

:11:38.:11:41.

began. Her boyfriend was involved in an altercation with Porcikas and two

:11:42.:11:48.

other men. The trio smashed her door in and set about her boyfriend with

:11:49.:11:53.

a cricket bat. They beat him unconscious before turning their

:11:54.:11:57.

attention to her. She was also brutally beaten, but this was to be

:11:58.:12:02.

only the start. Over the next 12 hours, she was subjected to rape,

:12:03.:12:06.

violence and deliberate humiliation, the details of which

:12:07.:12:10.

are too horrifying to be broadcast. The trial here lasted three weeks

:12:11.:12:15.

and it took the jury just over two hours to find Porcikas guilty of a

:12:16.:12:20.

total of 12 offences. During the trial, they heard how he had

:12:21.:12:24.

committed the shocking crimes, and then gone on the run. After a series

:12:25.:12:30.

of appeals to the public, Porcikas was eventually found. He was living

:12:31.:12:35.

in this wooded area, a matter of yards away. Here -- he had built a

:12:36.:12:41.

temporary shelter. Incredibly, he had lived here for up to a month

:12:42.:12:47.

with his pregnant girlfriend. I am really pleased that the court have

:12:48.:12:51.

reflected on the severity of the sentences and I hope this sends a

:12:52.:12:54.

message that we will not tolerate this in our society. The judge said

:12:55.:13:02.

Porcikas would not even be considered for release until it was

:13:03.:13:08.

felt safe to do so. His co-accused was found guilty of a single charge

:13:09.:13:12.

of assault on the woman's boyfriend. There was a third man present that

:13:13.:13:16.

morning, he has never been named in court but it is believed he is back

:13:17.:13:20.

in Lithuania. The hunt for him will continue.

:13:21.:13:23.

The traditional Irish musician Francis McPeake has branded

:13:24.:13:25.

as "lies" allegations of sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl.

:13:26.:13:30.

The Belfastman has been giving evidence at his trial

:13:31.:13:33.

Francis McPeake arrives in court today to give evidence at his trial,

:13:34.:13:48.

seen here accompanied by his wife. He denies 12 counts of sexual

:13:49.:13:52.

activity with a girl who was 15 years old at the time. The alleged

:13:53.:13:58.

victim sat in the public gallery along with her friends and family,

:13:59.:14:02.

listening to the evidence. Every allegation of sexual activity put to

:14:03.:14:05.

the evidence. Every allegation of sexual activity Sunday morning in

:14:06.:14:10.

his school of music in Belfast, that is alive, said. That is where you

:14:11.:14:17.

first had sex with the alleged victim? That is a lie, he said. The

:14:18.:14:23.

prosecution outlined that the defendant turned up at the

:14:24.:14:27.

teenager's school to talk to her teachers. It was put to him he was

:14:28.:14:31.

getting cocky. I had an interest in her work, he said. The prosecution

:14:32.:14:38.

said, you had an interest for her, for sex. No, he said, that is alive.

:14:39.:14:45.

Mr McPeak said he had problems having sex with his wife after

:14:46.:14:47.

receiving treatment for cancer. The trial continues.

:14:48.:14:51.

Some have predicted that changes to the welfare system

:14:52.:14:53.

Here on BBC Newsline we're taking another

:14:54.:14:58.

closer look at what's proposed and we'll be speaking to people who

:14:59.:15:01.

In the first in a series of reports over the next few weeks,

:15:02.:15:07.

Tara Mills talks to young mothers in East and West Belfast.

:15:08.:15:19.

On the outskirts of West Belfast, almost half the children are cost of

:15:20.:15:24.

living in poverty. The Centre provides a crash and drop-in centre

:15:25.:15:30.

for mums like Leanne, who has four children and receives multiple

:15:31.:15:32.

benefits. Her youngest is eight months old. You try to find money if

:15:33.:15:40.

they need new shoes or clothes, but by the time you get the money, you

:15:41.:15:45.

spend it on food and bills, you have nothing left. So, I just hope that

:15:46.:15:52.

the change does not affect us. Cutting the total made of money one

:15:53.:15:55.

family can receive on benefits is one of the changes. It is ?26,000 a

:15:56.:16:02.

year. In England it applies mostly to people living in homes with high

:16:03.:16:06.

rents, but here it is different. Those on more than ?26,000 are

:16:07.:16:10.

mostly lone parents with four children or more. The average family

:16:11.:16:16.

stands to lose ?50 a week. Those with very large families will lose

:16:17.:16:21.

?135 a week. Staff at this centre believe that will leave some

:16:22.:16:27.

families desperately poor. There will be kids not getting a decent

:16:28.:16:31.

meal, but if they come here they will get through, they will get

:16:32.:16:37.

something decent during the day. You cannot go into a home where there

:16:38.:16:41.

are a lot of children and just cut the money away. People have

:16:42.:16:47.

devastating impact on the children. Across time, mums at this centre are

:16:48.:16:54.

in the same boat. This woman had a job until she had her children and

:16:55.:16:57.

hopes to get back to work eventually. These mothers have been

:16:58.:17:01.

accused of having children to get benefits. This 22-year-old says life

:17:02.:17:09.

has not to notice she expected. I would have to burrow money some

:17:10.:17:13.

weeks. It depends how the week is going. What about people who think

:17:14.:17:22.

that people on benefits are lazy? There is no choice. If I had a

:17:23.:17:27.

choice, I would not be on them. It is not like it is great money, you

:17:28.:17:33.

struggle on benefits. Why do that if you could have a full-time job? So

:17:34.:17:38.

that is ultimately what you are aiming for? Yes. You get to that

:17:39.:17:43.

point and you cannot manage and you want to get stuff but you can't. How

:17:44.:17:49.

do you manage? It is really stressful. None of the mothers we

:17:50.:17:53.

spoke to was aware that the welfare system could be changing. The

:17:54.:17:58.

political row at Stormont seems far removed from the reality of life on

:17:59.:18:03.

benefits. And if you will be affected by the

:18:04.:18:07.

changes, would we would like to hear your views.

:18:08.:18:21.

Welfare reform remains at the eye of the political storm and another

:18:22.:18:28.

issue is parading. This evening, the Northern Ireland office says it has

:18:29.:18:30.

no comment on speculation that draft proposals have been sent to any

:18:31.:18:34.

political party in relation to parading in North Belfast. Mark

:18:35.:18:40.

Devenport is at Stormont. Have you heard anything about this? Here, one

:18:41.:18:46.

senior Orange man was telling me he got there could be an announcement

:18:47.:18:49.

before the end of the week on the parade enquiry for North Belfast.

:18:50.:18:53.

Clearly this was a demand from the joint Unionist parties, they wanted

:18:54.:18:58.

it to look specifically into the Ardoyne issue. But if the Government

:18:59.:19:03.

presses ahead with that, it risks incurring the wrath of nationalists,

:19:04.:19:06.

who are concerned that such an enquiry would do the Parades

:19:07.:19:10.

Commission out of business and might undermine that. So it will look at

:19:11.:19:14.

that space during the course of the next few days. In relation to

:19:15.:19:18.

welfare reform, it is not just the young mothers we have been hearing

:19:19.:19:22.

from, who are concerned about that, it has been a point of contention at

:19:23.:19:27.

Stormont today. I am joined by one of our new ministers who will have

:19:28.:19:30.

responsibility for welfare reform. It is really a hot topic, do you

:19:31.:19:35.

think it could end up that the Executive is brought down in

:19:36.:19:39.

relation to this? I think the First Minister has made it clear that

:19:40.:19:42.

there are choices that have to be made. We empathise with those

:19:43.:19:45.

parents who have genuine concerns about changes to the current

:19:46.:19:50.

system. However, let us be under no illusion that if there is no

:19:51.:19:53.

agreement on this particular issue in relation to welfare reform, what

:19:54.:19:57.

is coming down the road in terms of the lost to the Northern Ireland

:19:58.:20:02.

budget is greater than what the changes would be in relation to the

:20:03.:20:07.

package that was negotiated by my predecessor. I would pay tribute to

:20:08.:20:11.

Nelson for the way in which he dealt with this issue during her very

:20:12.:20:16.

difficult and challenging time. Letters be under no illusion, I am

:20:17.:20:20.

under no illusion as to the enormity of this challenge and I believe that

:20:21.:20:24.

if people want to see progress, they have to face up to reality that

:20:25.:20:27.

there is an agreement that has to be reached on this issue so the

:20:28.:20:32.

Northern Ireland ensures we can move forward and continue to be

:20:33.:20:35.

prosperous in the way that we have been to date. Could you end up being

:20:36.:20:39.

a very short lived Minister? There is no sign of any common ground

:20:40.:20:45.

between the major parties. History will be the judge of that, it is not

:20:46.:20:50.

my intention to be the shortest lived Minister. The DUP want to get

:20:51.:20:55.

a resolution for the benefit of the people of Northern Ireland and

:20:56.:20:59.

those, Sinn Fein, the SDLP and those who have opposed this process need

:21:00.:21:03.

to realise they are going to bring about a situation which will bring

:21:04.:21:07.

greater burden and distress to the people of Northern Ireland, and that

:21:08.:21:11.

is not what I want to see happen. Is this Peter Robinson stabbing his

:21:12.:21:17.

authority on the party? This is my party leader making decisions. He

:21:18.:21:20.

will make those decisions because he is party leader. I am honoured by

:21:21.:21:29.

the responsibility that he has placed on my shoulders and I trust

:21:30.:21:32.

by the grace of God that I will be able to do the job. Mervyn Storey on

:21:33.:21:41.

the first evening of his new job. To Scotland, and practice started

:21:42.:21:46.

today for the Ryder Cup, the match between Europe and America. Steven

:21:47.:21:48.

Watson has been reporting from Gleneagles.

:21:49.:21:56.

Northern Ireland's two players, Graeme McDowell and Rory McIlroy,

:21:57.:22:02.

have partnered each other six times in the last couple of Ryder cups,

:22:03.:22:05.

but this year it appears they will be slipped up. Today, Graeme

:22:06.:22:10.

McDowell stressed that things may have changed, but there are not only

:22:11.:22:16.

problems between the two men. It is hello to a fourth consecutive Ryder

:22:17.:22:20.

Cup for Graeme McDowell. A player who excels when he steps into the

:22:21.:22:25.

world's golfing player. His relationship with Rory McIlroy is

the focus for many this week. The issue is Rory McIlroy's legal battle

:22:30.:22:34.

with his former management company. But he is adamant that all is well

on and off the course. Our personal issues have been well documented. We

:22:42.:22:45.

both have come through that and that of the other side better friends

:22:46.:22:48.

than we ever were. From a golf point of view, the dynamic has changed

:22:49.:22:55.

from the Big Brother role I had in 2009, 2010, when Rory was green

:22:56.:23:00.

behind the ears and needed someone like myself to have that protective

:23:01.:23:04.

influence on the golf course. Now he is the number one player in the

:23:05.:23:08.

world. We are not writing of the fact we might play together this

:23:09.:23:12.

weekend, but I think we will not play every match together like we

:23:13.:23:16.

have in the past. That will be done to personal reasons but the fact

:23:17.:23:20.

that captain believes we are better used elsewhere. Four years ago,

:23:21.:23:31.

Graeme McDowell was the hero. He wants a repeat performance in

Scotland. I couldn't imagine sitting at home watching it on TV. I want to

:23:38.:23:44.

be here in Scotland, trying to make it eight from ten. We are the

:23:45.:23:49.

favourites. It is not a label the European team are used to. We are

:23:50.:23:53.

trying to realise that this is going to be a tough week, it will be

:23:54.:23:58.

close, and we have to knuckle down and play hard. Graeme McDowell will

:23:59.:24:04.

have huge home backing this week, but two of his biggest supporters

:24:05.:24:08.

are missing. I am feeling very fresh. I have had sleepless nights

:24:09.:24:14.

with the baby, but I have got to grips with that. Disappointed my

:24:15.:24:18.

wife and baby couldn't make it this week, but they will be watching from

:24:19.:24:22.

afar and they will be supporting the team from Florida. As he tries to

:24:23.:24:29.

help Europe successfully defend the title. Now to another international

:24:30.:24:35.

competition, this time in darts. Northern Ireland has sent men and

:24:36.:24:37.

women's teams to the Europe cup, which gets underway tomorrow.

:24:38.:24:43.

Northern Ireland will be stepping up to the hockey and aiming high in

international dollars. -- International darts. It is played

:24:52.:24:59.

along the lines of the European cup. You go into groups, you qualify

first or second in the group. The -- you accumulate points per win. There

:25:09.:25:13.

are also appears and individuals. The women's team includes a veteran

:25:14.:25:16.

who has seen off plenty of competition for her place on the

:25:17.:25:22.

aeroplane to Romania. It is hard work every year trying to get into

the top three. Everybody fights all year round to get a place. And there

is a quiet confidence that Northern Ireland will emerge from the group

stages and do well. A good bunch of lads and girls going over, we have a

:25:38.:25:43.

good chance, we are all play -- all playing well at the moment and it is

:25:44.:25:47.

a privilege to be here. We just have a feeling that the team is going to

gel, they will play well. They are all good players. This team, there

:25:52.:25:57.

is just something special. The competition starts tomorrow with the

:25:58.:26:03.

finals on Saturday. Good luck to both the teams. That's

it from Gleneagles, I will be back with more from the Ryder Cup

:26:09.:26:10.

tomorrow. The weather forecast is next.

:26:11.:26:18.

Good evening. The autumn equinox has brought some autumn rain, good news

:26:19.:26:21.

for the gardens. That rain came along in a couple of bands. One last

:26:22.:26:27.

night which moved away. We now have the next band, that weather front

:26:28.:26:31.

sitting over us at the moment. Fragmenting a little bit, still damp

:26:32.:26:36.

evening for many. But it moves away East, and in behind, we will get a

:26:37.:26:41.

few showers following. Some of those to be quite heavy for the first part

:26:42.:26:45.

of the night but they will start to ease away later, tapering off. So we

:26:46.:26:49.

are looking at more in a whiff of dry weather and clear spells,

:26:50.:26:54.

temperatures settling around 80 to ten. Tomorrow, are much more cheery

:26:55.:27:00.

day. A brighter and drier day. One or two showers around first thing.

:27:01.:27:09.

Maybe done towards parts of County Down as well. But they will be light

:27:10.:27:15.

and fairly isolated. By the afternoon, generally, all parts are

:27:16.:27:20.

dry. Some cloud coming and going, but some bright and sunny spells

:27:21.:27:23.

coming through as well. It will still feel quite fresh, but the

:27:24.:27:27.

breeze coming in from the North to Northwest. Temperatures from 14 to

:27:28.:27:36.

16. It could be quite a cool evening tomorrow. Probably a bright enough

:27:37.:27:39.

end to the day. Through tomorrow night, things start to change

:27:40.:27:44.

again, more cloud starting to roll in off the Atlantic. With that

:27:45.:27:48.

cloud, quite damp weather. Rain and drizzle in parts of the North and

:27:49.:27:52.

West, but a mild night with temperatures no lower than ten or

:27:53.:27:57.

11. Thursday looks as though we will hold onto the grey skies, but it

:27:58.:28:01.

will be mild, with temperatures up to around 18.

:28:02.:28:06.

We will have the latest on the big reshuffle at Stormont on our latest

:28:07.:28:09.

news at 10.25. Goodbye for now.
