The First Minister Peter Robinson took a swipe | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
at critics within his own party today, describing them as 'lemmings' | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
The comments follow yesterday's chain of events | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
when the former health minister Edwin Poots claimed Mr Robinson was | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
going to stand down ahead of the next Assembly elections. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
Our political correspondent Gareth Gordon reports. | :00:25. | :00:35. | |
This was Peter Robinson, the First Minister, on his way to | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
There are some people so puffed up by their own | :00:39. | :00:53. | |
importance, people have the strategic vision of a lemming, and | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
They won't take us off course, it is very clear where | :00:58. | :01:04. | |
the party's direction is, and the party has choices to make. | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
It can follow people down a road to destruction him | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
a division within the party, and the consequences which will be paid | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
Do what we said in our election commitments | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
of taking Northern Ireland forward, that is a clear choice. | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
I can't stop people from making comments, | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
It could be Edwin Poots who lost his job as Health Minister today | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
and was slapped down after saying Mr Robinson would be | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
Then it could be the agricultural committee boss who was left behind. | :01:41. | :01:53. | |
It could be a number of people, trying to whisper behind backs. | :01:54. | :02:02. | |
Colleagues were not so shy in what seems to be a campaign | :02:03. | :02:18. | |
They were joined by Mr Poots, and even used similar | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
Either Mr Robinson has taken a gamble of his life, by laying there | :02:24. | :02:43. | |
and what is going on in his party, or he has pulled off a masterstroke, | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
putting down a rebellion before it has begun. We will soon know. | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
This is him leaving a meeting this afternoon. | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
Perhaps he thinks he has said enough. | :02:53. | :03:04. | |
And the DUP finance minister Simon Hamilton will be live on The View | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
A memorial service for the former First Minister Ian Paisley will | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
The service, which will take place at the | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
Ulster Hall, will be broadcast live by BBC Northern Ireland. | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Here's our Political Editor Mark Devenport. | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
Ian Paisley's funeral earlier this month was strictly private, limited | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
to immediate family made the Dutchman members. But the family let | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
it know they had planned a bigger Morrill service. | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
it know they had planned a bigger confirmed it will take place at | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
Ulster Hall at 3pm on the 19th of October. Due to the number of people | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
wishing to attend, the service will be by invitation only but it will be | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
broadcast live by the BBC. In a brief statement, Baroness Paisley | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
thanked the press for respecting the family's desire for privacy during | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
the sacred days after her husband's death. | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
Two houses in south Belfast has been damaged in | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
Racist graffiti was painted on the walls and two windows smashed | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
Police say the attacks were reported to them early on Wednesday morning, | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
but details have only just been released. | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
Dissident republicans in Maghaberry Prison have asked | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
the prison authorities to implement wide ranging changes they say will | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
31 prisoners aligned to the group referred to as the New IRA | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
want security measures relaxed and improved facilities for visits. | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
Our home affairs correspondent Vincent Kearney reports. | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
Tensions and disputes between republican prisoners and the | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
There are currently around 50 dissident republicans being held | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
The majority of them are aligned to the group | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
The group has accused the prison service of breaking | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
the terms of an agreement to relax security - and have sent the | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
authorities a document containing a wide range of proposed changes. | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
The BBC has obtained a copy of the 14 page paper, | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
In a section dealing with security issues, | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
I visited Maghaberry Prison yesterday and spoke to a spokesman | :05:15. | :05:37. | |
for the dissident group. Harry Fitzsimons is on remand with two | :05:38. | :05:45. | |
other prominent dissidents. He told me the document isn't a threat or | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
ultimatum but an attempt to reduce conflict. He quoted from a number of | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
inspection reports. Those reports describe the movement of prisoners | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
as restricted. And the system isn't about security but about blowing the | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
morale. Sources close to | :06:06. | :06:19. | |
the prison officers association They said those held | :06:20. | :06:20. | |
in the dissident wing are highly dangerous, and that controls | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
on movement are essential. In a statement, | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
the Prison Service said senior staff talk to prisoners on a regular basis | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
to discuss a range of issues. It said a review | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
of the implementation of the agreement reached in August | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
2010, which the prisons say should have resulted in a relaxation | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
in security, is currently being carried out and a report is expected | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
at the end of this month. Golf's Ryder Cup gets under way | :06:39. | :06:41. | |

From an Northern Ireland, Graeme McDowell. | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
Royal McElroy's Rory McIlroy. | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
McIlroy and McDowell won't be a double act on this occasion, as | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
Their determination to win tomorrow's game | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
against their American opponents was obvious after comments by | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
Phil Mickelson about McIlroy?s relationship with McDowell. | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
Sergio and Rory, who formed a real blonde and friendship, and respect | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
Sergio and Rory, who formed a real bond and friendship, and respect | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
for each other's games during the summer period, they are the players | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
and they complement each other. They enjoy each other. They'd | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
enjoy each other's company. It was a natural fit. | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
Rory McIlroy will tee off at 8:20am. Graeme Mcdowell is not in action | :08:01. | :08:08. | |

on it, Victor Dubuisson. -- French debutant. | :08:11. | :08:19. | |
Much milder today, temperatures in the 20s, and we have had a lot of | :08:20. | :08:35. | |
cloud. And a weather front moving in, introducing some rain. The | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
isobars, that is indicative of quite a dusty wind picking up is that | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
weather front approaches and moves through. It brings Marat -- narrow | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
band of rain. Clearing away tomorrow morning. Still fairly mild. | :08:51. | :08:59. | |
Tomorrow, a much more promising day on offer, a much brighter day. The | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
dusty wind will ease, but there will be a breeze around the coast, but a | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
very different start the day compared to this morning. Writer | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
with decent spells of sunshine. Across Scotland, a bright day but | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
strong winds with sharp showers in the north-west. Lighter winds across | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
the Republic of Ireland. In the meantime, the overnight weather | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
front moves across Wales, northern England and into the central parts | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
of England. Generally, it is dry and right and warm. Fresher to the north | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
of that weather front. That is the case for us tomorrow afternoon. | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
There will be some sunshine, quite pleasant, but it will feel fresher | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
with highs of its 15 to 16. Into the weekend, apart from the odd shower, | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
it is mainly dry. That is it for now. Keep up-to-date | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
